Replace weak passwords with highly secure identity credentials to ensure only authorized devices can access sensitive services. Reduce risk of counterfeit or rouge devices attacking your cloud or back-end systems. Support automated negotiation of secure communication parameters. Encrypt sensitive information for a target device, ensuring no other devices have access. These are all capabilities enabled by Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and digital certificates.
Secure and robust self-hosted PKI deployments require specialized infrastructure, specialist expertise, and high start-up and operational costs. BlackBerry Certicom offers an easy and cost-effective alternative to issue, renew and manage certificates on a device manufacturer or service provider’s behalf. Our Certification Authority (CA) services enable certified device identity, component authentication, and certificate life cycle management for automotive OEMs, IoT device manufacturers, and service providers.
Developed to BlackBerry’s stringent security standards, our PKI service platform enables outsourced manufacturing while protecting the supply chain from device counterfeit, re-manufactured, or stolen components.
Blackberry Certicom’s PKI platform addresses device security requirements with a full-featured, highly scalable certificate management and key provisioning solution. PKI facilitates the secure exchange of keys and sensitive information using certificate-based authentication. This addresses the problem of inadequate security commonly associated with password-based authentication. It is a secure, cost-effective way to enhance the security of the automotive or IoT supply chain with traceable device provenance to mitigate the risk of device counterfeiting or remanufacturing fraud.
Blackberry Certicom can support both low and high-volume applications depending on customer requirements. With our unique expertise and history supporting Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC), we can offer high performance solutions for demanding high volume production requirements.
Secures tens of millions of devices in high volume production
environments such as mobile device, automotive, and smart meter manufacturing.
BlackBerry Certicom follows robust security development lifecycle and deployment methodologies to ensure that our PKI platform help protect customer devices and the services they access from compromise.
We can offer fully hosted or on-premise deployments with business models and processes tailored to meet industry requirements.
Reduces or eliminates the burden of developing, deploying and hosting an in-house PKI and the costs associated with ongoing maintenance and security administration
BlackBerry Certicom’s PKI’s platforms registration authority function accepts certificate signing requests (CSRs) in real-time or in batch mode and provides ways to integrate root of trust provisioning and device PKI platform enrolment, leveraging IC-based key stores, TPMs, Trust Zone, secure device memory or software based keystores.
Blackberry Certicom provides a trust anchor for all ZigBee Smart Energy devices using ECQV-based size-optimized certificates. This allows end user networks to authenticate genuine smart energy products during key establishment operations, thereby enhancing out-of-the-box compatibility and security, lowering the total cost of ownership for utilities and metering companies while ensuring the integrity of the utility network.
