(1) Eurotech, Infineon Technologies, Microsoft, and GlobalSign work together to deliver zero-touch provisioning for IOT AMARO, FRIULI / ACCESSWIRE / April 13, 2021 / Eurotech, a company that designs, develops, and deploys hardware and software solutions for the Edge and Internet of Things (IoT), is working with Infineon, Microsoft, and GlobalSign to simplify large scale, secure rollouts of connected devices. This collaboration delivers assurance by extending the secured device identity chain from the edge to the cloud. Building on industry standards, the solution starts the chain-of-trust at Infineon's OPTIGA TPM (Trusted Platform Module), which is installed in all Eurotech IoT Edge gateways. As platform manufacturer, Eurotech extends this 'trust' to a secure Initial Device Identifier, an IEEE 802.1AR certificate-based identity that is cryptographically bound and uniquely assigned to the device. This identity attests to the integrity of the platform supply chain and provides the necessary baseline for zero-touch onboarding. As part of this collaboration, Eurotech has worked with GlobalSign, one of the leading security certificate authorities, and Microsoft, with its IoT Identity Service security subsystem of the Azure IoT Edge, to further extend the chain-of-trust to cloud connectivity. This is achieved through the enrollment of additional local certificates confirming device ownership to a customer and using these identities for automatic provisioning of Azure IoT Hub operational identities by the Azure Device Provisioning service.
