Zusammenfassung:In one embodiment, the present invention is a method for providing a secure remote configuration. The method includes obtaining a signed configuration file (S-CF) from a storage using a device identity of the device, wherein the device identity of the device is linked with a location of the device. A validated configuration file (V-CF) is then generated using the S-CF. At least one device parameter is then configured using the V-CF. In another embodiment, the present invention is a method for providing a signed configuration file (S-CF) to the device. The method includes processing a request for an S-CF from the device, wherein the request comprises a device identity of the device. A location of the device is then determined using a location database and the device identity of the device. A configuration file (CF) for the location of the device is then obtained from a storage. An S-CF is then generated using the CF. The S-CF is then provided to the device.
