Many industry standards already request cybersecurity best practices and the use of strong device identities. These include Matter for Smart Home, ISO15118-2/20 for EV-charging, WiSUN for smart-metering, IEEE802.1AR for Industry 4.0, and more. Additionally, the Cyber Resilient Act (CRA) in Europe further enforces these cybersecurity requirements, making compliance essential.
These security compliance requirements include the operation of a PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) and the provisioning of secrets and certificates at device level during manufacturing. However, this process can be highly complex for electronic device manufacturers lacking dedicated security components or expertise in digital certificate generation during manufacturing.
Trusted Objects products offering
Trusted Objects offers a fully integrated solution to build a private PKI, generate certificates, and securely inject them into a device's microcontroller. For specific needs – such as Matter-compliant factory secure provisioning - Trusted Objects partners with leading PKI providers offering Matter-certified Certificate Authority (CA).
For IoT manufacturers wishing to produce devices with digital identities, Trusted Objects’ secure factory provisioning solution (tops) and software Root-of-Trust (to-protect), provide:
- Scalable Private PKI – Enabling seamless certificate generation and management
- Device Factory Certificate Generation – Ensuring each device has a unique identity
- Secure Factory Provisioning – Securely injecting certificates and cryptographic keys at the manufacturing stage
- Embedded Security – Protecting keys and certificates within the device via a robust software Root-of-Trust
This integrated approach simplifies, automates and secures the entire certificate provisioning process.
Trusted Objects ensures end-to-end security, from the PKI to the secure storage of private keys and certificates across all MCU platforms.
