One of the more interesting announcements out of RSA is that of the partnership with Keyfactor and wolfSSL. IoT growth has exploded, but is still bound by security concerns, especially in regard to how to lock down low-power devices. Keyfactor, which offers award-winning PKI as-a-service platform for certificate lifecycle automation and IoT device security, announced it will integrate with SSL/TLS crypto-library provider wolfSSL to improve IoT security.
Keyfactor VP of product, Mark Thompson, commented, “Establishing critical trust at design and over time is complex for device manufacturers juggling multiple mass-production product lines.“Assigning a unique identity to every device hardens its overall security and ability to securely install firmware and software updates. . . combining full-featured, easy-to-use cryptographic libraries with a solid Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) platform makes IoT security at scale manageable and achievable.”
The new integration, KeyfactorControl, allows device designers and manufacturers to leverage technology and PKI to continuously replace, manage and update cryptography on IoT devices, while wolfSSL SSL/TLS libraries support resource constrained IoT systems across industrial control systems, connected vehicles, and medical devices.
