receive, from the external electronic device through the communication circuit, a provisioning authentication response message corresponding to the provisioning authentication request message.

5 . The electronic device of claim 1 ,

wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the electronic device further to obtain, from the external electronic device, first service information configured by the external electronic device, and

wherein the provisioning configuration response message is configured to further include second service information configured by the electronic device based on the first service information.

6 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the identification information about the external electronic device includes at least one of a device identifier (ID) or serial information of the external electronic device.

7 . An electronic device comprising:

memory storing instructions;

a communication circuit; and

at least one processor operably couped to the memory and the communication circuit,

wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the electronic device to:

provide, to an external electronic device, identification information about the electronic device,

transmit, to the external electronic device through the communication circuit, a provisioning configuration request message for provisioning between the electronic device and the external electronic device, for network configuration, and

receive, from the external electronic device through the communication circuit, a provisioning configuration response message including authentication information required for authenticating the electronic device to register the electronic device in a cloud.

8 . The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the electronic device further to provide, to the external electronic device, the identification information about the electronic device in any one of a quick response (QR) code scheme, Bluetooth communication, a Bluetooth low energy scheme, a near field communication scheme, and a public key exchange scheme.

9 . The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein the identification information required for authenticating the electronic device includes at least one of an authentication code, an access token, a refresh token, or a server address.

10 . The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the electronic device further to:

receive, from the external electronic device through the communication circuit, a provisioning authentication request message for provisioning authentication between the electronic device and the external electronic device; and

transmit, to the external electronic device through the communication circuit, a provisioning authentication response message corresponding to the provisioning authentication request message.

11 . The electronic device of claim 7 ,

wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the electronic device further to provide, to the external electronic device, first service information configured by the electronic device, and

wherein the provisioning configuration response message is configured to further include second service information configured by the external electronic device based on the first service information.

12 . The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein the identification information about the electronic device includes at least one of a device identifier (ID) or serial information of the electronic device.

13 . A method performed by an electronic device, the method comprising:

obtaining, from an external electronic device, identification information about the external electronic device;

transmitting, to a server, an authentication information request message including the identification information about the external electronic device;

receiving, from the server, authentication information required for authenticating the external electronic device to register the external electronic device in a cloud;

receiving, from the external electronic device, a provisioning configuration request message for provisioning configuration between the electronic device and the external electronic device; and

transmitting, to the external electronic device, a provisioning configuration response message including the authentication information required for authenticating the external electronic device.

14 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the identification information about the external electronic device is obtained in any one of a quick response (QR) code scheme, Bluetooth communication, a Bluetooth low energy scheme, a near field communication scheme, and a public key exchange scheme.

15 . A method performed by an electronic device, the method comprising:

providing, to an external electronic device, identification information about the electronic device;

transmitting, to the external electronic device, a provisioning configuration request message for provisioning between the electronic device and the external electronic device, for network configuration; and
