Device certificates

The networking of everyday devices is constantly on the rise. The Internet of Things (IoT) offers a variety of applications and opportunities for the private and the industrial sector alike. However, this also increases the attack surface for compromising and hacking IoT-capable devices. Potential consequences include data leaks and misuse of devices for the likes of denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. This is where device identities, which are implemented using public key certificates, come into play. They protect privacy and enable secure and economical operation of a device infrastructure.
