Ok. Lets look at a working model that Microsoft has with AD.  You boot
the machine them a Adminstrator adds the machine to the AD domain using
the administrators credentials.

One can do essentially the same thing with TKEY and get a TSIG key
that can be stored.  The home owner would register the machine with
the router using TKEY.  The credentials used would allow registration
on behalf.  TKEY support sending additional data in the request we
only need a standard description on how to do "on behalf of".
