1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
obtaining, by a computing system comprising one or more computing devices, a first entity pairing request for a first entity associated with a service entity, the first entity pairing request comprising first entity identification data;
determining, by the computing system based at least in part on the first entity identification data, a temporary pairing code associated with the first entity;
providing, by the computing system, the temporary pairing code to the service entity;
obtaining, by the computing system, a second entity pairing request for a second entity associated with the service entity, the second entity pairing request comprising the temporary pairing code and an operational certificate, the operational certificate comprising second entity identification data associated with the second entity; and
pairing, by the computing system, the second entity and the first entity based at least in part on the second entity pairing request.
