u-blox has announced the new IoT certificate manager that eliminates the task of manually managing credential renewal on thousands of devices and with Zero touch provisioning service, it provides out-of-the-box on-boarding to IoT cloud platforms with total control of the device certificate lifecycle. Designed and optimized for IoT scenarios, it eliminates the errors that can occur during manual operation on large IoT deployments, freeing resources for other activities.
This certificate lifecycle control package offers an out-of-the-box experience for the registration and onboarding of devices to cloud IoT platforms such as AWS, Azure, or even to custom platforms, making it simple, secure, and cost effective. While these take charge of device management and data aggregation, the u‑blox service provides an effortless way to manage the X.509 certificates required for device authentication.
Key Features
- Device onboarding to IoT cloud platforms, based on X.509 certificates
- Remote deployment of device and root certificates into the device with zero touch provisioning
- Renewal of credentials in a fully automatic mode to ensure future-proof protection
- Designed and optimized to seamlessly scale from prototyping to huge fleets
The IoT certificate manager futureproofs protection by increasing security levels over the entire device lifetime. Building on the root of trust included in u‑blox SARA-R5 series LTE-M cellular modems, it provides a fully integrated silicon-to-cloud security solution.
