Manufacturing of IoT devices can be either done in house or outsourced.
Contract manufacturing has several advantages; however it can put the OEM’s asset at risk.
Trusted Objects addresses the challenge of secure manufacturing through tops product line.
tops acts as a secure digital identity generator, ensures certificates and keys protection in production and guarantees their secure injection into devices.
tops products enhance security, reduce complexity and lower cost by fully automating the provisioning of the first digital identity into an electronic device during manufacturing.
tops is also a set of services that brings security and efficiency in the provisioning process including data aggregation, intellectual property protection, and production control.
tops benefits :
- Secure generation of unique certificates
asymmetric keys generation (RSA,ECC) - Comprehensive PKI management
internal Certificate Authority (CA), cross-signed CA - Secure external PKI interface
seamless integration with any external PKI platform (CSRs) - Post-quantum cryptography readiness
post-quantum keys generation - Secure data hub in production
centralize all data to be programmed (unique per device or shared)
- Protection of all sensitive data
protect certificates, application firmware, and secrets during transit and manufacturing - Secure provisioning and commissioning
secure certificate and key injection into devices and secure commissioning of the application server - Overproduction control
signed report for traceability and security - Broad compatibility
