As an increasing number of connected devices are deployed within IoT ecosystems, enterprises need to identify and authenticate them. Typically, when they are manufactured, IoT devices receive their initial identity in the form of a “digital birth certificate.” Controlling Production Runs. This leads us to the second step.

Instead, in today’s IoT landscape, we need additional authentication layers at the gadget level to ensure any connecting Smart Devices are trusted using certificates and keys – which are infinitely more difficult for a hacker to bypass or imitate – when attempting a break-in.

Manufacturing is one of the most attacked industries, facing a range of cybersecurity challenges. To understand why we need this kind of hybrid approach, let us examine the use case of a manufacturing enterprise who put trust inthe added value of the joint Thales and PrimeKey solution. Use case: manufacturing enterprise.

There are so many reasons why manufacturers connect their products to the Internet, whether it’s industrial machines, medical devices, consumer goods or even cars. Additionally, many auto manufacturers now have the ability to remotely update software to fix vulnerabilities or even upgrade functionality. Co-ordination is key.

Manufacturers often set the default configurations of new software and devices to be as open and multi-functional as possible. Improper authentication with external systems. Authenticate users before enabling Internet-based access to commercially or personally sensitive data, or data critical to the running of the organisation.

Because IoT devices typically have limited CPU and storage capabilities, many devices transmit data in the clear and with limited authentication capabilities to a central collection unit where it can be collected, stored, analyzed and securely transmitted for additional use.

Weak authentication. With IoT PKI, Secure IoT can be accomplished by enabling strong authentication and encryption of communication to ensure the integrity of transactions and data. When requesting the operator certificate from the operator’s CA, the device in the field can authenticate with the help of the factory certificate.
