From what I am seeing the "Device Number" is really nothing more than a separate credit card number that is tied the the main/physical card on the issuer end. I am not completely sure though. From Apples' documentation, it appears that the issuer is able to only allow transactions on that "card" number in conjunction with the one time token.
