WISeKey International Holding announced that it has boosted the deployment of its Certificate Management Solution (CMS), INeS, dedicated to the Internet of Things (IoT) by adding new functionalities. Public key cryptography and digital certificates are used to implement strong authentication, data encryption and digital signatures. WISeKey’s upgraded INeS CMS for IoT is a flexible and scalable certificate management platform used to issue, validate, and manage digital identities using a PKI solution, represented as Digital Certificates, in compliance with the X509 ITU (ISO/IEC 9594-8:2001) standards. It also supports all major certificate enrollment protocols, such as SCEP, CMP, CMC and EST. INeS integrates a Device Management capability and can be used through a web interface and REST API, which enables customers and developers to automate the device and certificate management, integrating it with the manufacturing chain. INeS is capable to remotely identify credentials and control activation, deactivation, revocation, renewal and securely provision (point to point secure update) for IOT edge devices and business applications. WISeKey offers the INeS platform as a managed service out of its secure datacenters in Switzerland; however, on-premises and hybrid deployments are also available, depending on the customer needs and security policies. The platform supports multitenancy, which means that customers can use the same software instance to implement several parallel, independent solutions or projects. INeS Certificate Management System: Allows users to reap the benefits of using identity-based certificates without deploying a complex and expensive infrastructure, Eliminates certificate-related outages with certificate lifecycle, Reduces cyber risk and improves security posture. WISeKey’s secure semiconductors are certified for Evaluation Assurance Level 4+ (EAL4+) according to the international standard Common Criteria for Information Technology Security Evaluation (CC). Secure microcontrollers from other vendors are also supported.
