When implementing IoT solutions or manufacturing connected devices, identity and security should be built in from the start. Strong device identity supported by PKI can enable the fundamentals of IoT security. Like IoT devices, IoT device identities have lifecycles all their own. To build and grow an IoT ecosystem, the proper security tools and architectures are needed to identify, control and manage each IoT device ID. Managing a device identity throughout its lifecycle is critical to maintaining IoT security, no matter where or when the device is put into service.

As all organizations incorporate IoT into their infrastructure, services and products, it is essential to futureproof your IoT expansion with a platform that scale, with the ability to support thousands of certificates per second.

Our cloud-based IoT identity platform enables secure device identity for all of your connected devices. The platform allows you to ensure that as IoT devices come online, they are authenticated, allowing for secure communication between other devices, services and users. We protect device identities, data and communication at rest or in motion. It’s an ideal fit for all IoT and IIoT (Industrial IoT) applications in virtually any market vertical or IoT Gateway.

The IoT Identity Platform is a device identity platform designed and built for the demanding and evolving specifications of the IoT. It protects IoT devices, data and communications from chip to cloud.

As a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)-based structure, it delivers exceptional encrypted security, and is backed by secure digital certificates issued from our trusted, cloud-based GlobalSign Certificate Authority (CA). By leveraging standards-based PKI to authenticate and establish trust between devices and services (such as cloud platforms), we ensure the integrity, source and encryption of all data transmitted within an ecosystem.

Our global cloud CA infrastructure delivers high scalability, capable of issuing more than 3,000 certificates per second and millions of certificates per day. It handles the high volume and throughput needed to accommodate the current and expected connected device explosion.

Flexibility is built into every option or feature at every level:

Decide on your necessary level of trust from our trusted root hierarchy models
Determine the level of registration management with either our IoT Edge Enroll or IoT CA Direct
Select the revocation services needed – CRL, OCSP or both
Choose the certificate type and validity
Customize pricing based on anticipated certificate consumption

Connect any device or endpoint configuration using EST, enrollment protocols, and HTTP communication protocols. Download our Azure IoT Hub developer integration guide or Infineon device identity blueprint, or join our Developer Program to access integration client libraries, SDKs, and other tools that facilitate and accelerate integrations.

Facilitate integration by connecting to our IoT Identity Platform with one of our RESTful APIs:

IoT Edge Enroll – a full-featured device registration authority (RA) to manage device enrollment
IoT CA Direct – a device identity issuing engine that connects with your in-house RA and our CA
Hosted OCSP – Manages certificate revocation of certificates issued from your in-house PKI
