Touchless key provisioning operation for communication devices

A system and process for performing a touchless key provisioning operation for a communication device. In operation, a key management facility (KMF) imports a public key and a public key identifier uniquely identifying the public key of the communication device. The public key is associated with an asymmetric key pair generated at the communication device during its factory provisioning and configuration. The KMF registers the communication device and assigns a key encryption key (KEK) for the communication device. The KMF then provisions the communication device by deriving a symmetric touchless key provisioning (TKP) key based at least in part on the public key of the communication device, encrypting the KEK with the symmetric TKP key to generate a key wrapped KEK, and transmitting the key wrapped KEK to the communication device for decryption by the communication device.
