The WISeKey contributions to the project will be Trust Services for credentials and secure semiconductors to keep the credential secure. Specifically, WISeKey will offer INeS Certificate Management Service (CMS) for issuing credentials and VaultIC secure semiconductors to provide tamperproof key storage and cryptographic acceleration.
Paul Watrobski, IT Security Specialist, NIST NCCoE said, “Secure deployment and maintenance of IoT devices throughout their lifecycle is a challenge for managing any home, small business, or enterprise network. Each use-case requires a low-friction, trusted, and repeatable mechanisms for issuing and validating credentials, and authenticating devices and networks. We are excited to collaborate with WISeKey to develop example solutions to establish and maintain secure devices and networks.”
