Legacy Wi-Fi Onboarding Isn't Built
For Today's IoT Scale

WPS, manual password entry, and captive portals each carry risks that grow worse as device counts increase. Here is what engineering and product teams are running into.

  • 01

    WPS PIN Vulnerabilities

    WPS PINs are vulnerable to brute-force attacks, creating security risks for IoT deployments.

  • 02

    Manual Provisioning Doesn’t Scale

    Manually entering SSIDs on hundreds of headless IoT devices is error-prone and doesn't scale.

  • 03

    Built for Modern IoT Provisioning

    Headless IoT devices can't use captive portals, making onboarding difficult and unreliable.

  • 04

    Modern IoT Needs Better Onboarding

    Modern IoT needs secure, scalable, automated onboarding without passwords or manual setup.

Wi-Fi Easy Connect (DPP)— How It Works

Wi-Fi Easy Connect, standardized by the Wi-Fi Alliance under the Device Provisioning Protocol,is a secure and modern way to onboard Wi-Fi devices, without exposing passwords. Instead of sharing Wi-Fi credentials manually, DPP uses secure public-key encryption to authenticate and connect devices automatically.

Two bootstrapping methods, one proven DPP stack

ThinkPalm implements both QR and BLE bootstrapping on the same underlying DPP authentication and credential delivery flow. The method you choose depends on your device form factor and deployment environment — or you can ship both.

QR Bootstrapping

Scan a device QR code to trigger secure DPP onboarding — no Wi-Fi password exchanged at any point.

WHAT WE DELIVER

  • QR-based DPP onboarding on Android
  • Password-less credential delivery via DPP
  • RDK-B gateway integration as DPP initiator
  • End-to-end DPP authentication flow

BLE Bootstrapping

Devices advertise their provisioning identity over BLE — discovered and onboarded automatically, no physical access or line-of-sight needed.

WHAT WE DELIVER

  • Automatic BLE device discovery and onboarding
  • Password-less credential delivery via DPP
  • Built for headless and hard-to-reach IoT devices
  • End-to-end DPP authentication flow

frequently asked questions

Yes. DPP is specifically designed for devices without screens, keyboards, or user interfaces. Devices can be securely onboarded using QR codes or BLE, making it ideal for sensors, cameras, gateways, smart home products, and industrial IoT devices.

Yes. DPP can be integrated into RDK-B gateways to enable secure device onboarding without requiring users to enter Wi-Fi passwords. ThinkPalm's implementation supports DPP integration through the OneWiFi framework, reducing development effort and deployment risk.

DPP supports multiple bootstrapping methods, including QR codes and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). QR codes work well for consumer devices, while BLE is ideal for headless, ruggedized, or hard-to-reach IoT devices where physical access is limited.

Yes. DPP is well-suited for modern Wi-Fi environments, including Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 networks. It provides a secure onboarding mechanism that aligns with current security requirements and simplifies device provisioning at scale.

Absolutely. By enabling secure self-service onboarding and eliminating manual Wi-Fi credential entry, DPP reduces provisioning errors, minimizes support tickets, and improves the end-user setup experience for both consumer and enterprise deployments.
