Abstract
A device identifier (ID) is used across enterprise boundaries. A user can use the device ID to publish a device for sharing with other remote users. The remote users can discover devices that are shared by other users based on device IDs, connect to a selected device, and then verify that they have connected to the correct device based on its device ID. An account authority service may be used to manage the publication and/or discovery of the shared devices and their device IDs.
