Geneva, Switzerland, July 23, 2020: A birth certificate for IoT devices? That’s precisely what IoT company WISeKey International Holding Ltd. is offering.
The global cybersecurity company has said in a press release that it had started to provide a unique identity for IoT devices in the form of an “IoT Birth Certificate”. What’s more, it will also protect their unique identity using its secure VaultIC semiconductor.
A digital identity for any IoT device is analogous to a person’s birth certificate, said WISeKey. The IoT certificate is signed, or “certified” by a trusted authority and contains basic information such as date & time of manufacture (birth), company (parents), and type of product (gender, eye color, etc.). This digital identity, used throughout the IoT device’s lifetime, allows the device to become a “Good Citizen” of the Internet, prove its identity and provide verifiable data.
