The need for next-generation PKI
A secure, reliable IoT device provisioning and authentication system relies on a well-developed public key infrastructure (PKI) framework. Many energy companies and device vendors for this industry initially chose to build their PKI infrastructure in-house. This may have served their purposes in the early years of IoT. However, as devices grow in scope and complexity, assuming business-critical roles, in-house PKIs are usually not equipped to meet security requisites. Without a steep ramping up in secure infrastructure and dedicated personnel with IoT PKI expertise, organizations may find themselves exposed to significant increases in risk.
