How does it work?

Setting up your IoT application and devices for managing and using PKI certificates demands careful planning and implementation work. During this period, you can use the Nexus GO IoT test service to be able to test and verify your IoT application.

By signing up for the Nexus GO IoT PKI trial version, you can quickly get started and test the service. The trial version helps you develop and verify the certificate provisioning and the PKI-based security functions.

After signing up to the service, Nexus will set up a customer-specific certificate authority (CA) and certificate management processes according to the specification of the customers. The certificate content can be adjusted and verified before devices are marketed and productively deployed.

The test service is available via an API and supports protocols such as EST-coaps, which makes it suitable for various devices, including resource-constrained and battery-powered ones.

Code Signing for secure updates

Deploying firmware and software updates securely is essential for providers of connected devices to protect business value and comply with regulations like the European Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). Signing is the de facto means of providing security when deploying code, enabling the receiving device to verify that the update is legitimate and preventing third parties from deploying malicious code.

Nexus GO IoT PKI service offers highly secure code signing functionality, providing controlled and traceable service access with HSM-secured signing keys.
