COMMSCOPE EMPOWERING SECURE CONNECTIVITY WITH OPTIGA™ TRUST M
Infineon’s cutting-edge security chip technology, combined with CommScope’s PKIWorks® security service platform and 30 years of expertise in device credential provisioning, forms the foundation for secure communication and data protection in an increasingly interconnected world. The integrated solutions offer several important advantages, ranging from device security to manufacturing efficiency.
Secure Device Credential Provisioning from Anywhere
The partnership between Infineon and CommScope delivers robust provisioning solutions for devices integrating Infineon's OPTIGA™ Trust M. Credentials – both cryptographic keys and certificates – can be securely provisioned from anywhere:
- at the factory,
- in distribution centers, or
- directly in the field
Advantages of In-Field Credential Provisioning
- Accelerated Time-to-Market: No changes to manufacturing or distribution processes, enabling faster product launches.
- Streamlined Product Management: Reduce product variations during manufacturing, making it easier to support a wide range of device makers and ecosystems.
- Dynamic Ecosystem Integration: On-demand certificate provisioning, allowing devices to securely join new ecosystems anytime, anywhere.
Top-Notch Security for Protecting Credentials
- Cryptographic key pairs are first generated within the secure element in Infineon's OPTIGA™ Trust M.
- Certificates are then obtained from CommScope’s PKIWorks® using CSR (certificate signing request).
- This approach ensures that private keys never leave the device, significantly reducing the attack surface and preventing malicous actors from obtaining private keys for multiple devices with a single attack.
Overall, the integrated credential provisioning solutions by Infineon and CommScope provide robust security measures without requiring device manufacturers to make any heavy investment in technical expertise or infrastructure. There has been a clear trend in both industry standards and emerging government regulations for requiring higher device security. The integrated solutions also ensure compliance with these standards and regulations, easing the burden for device manufacturers.
OPTIGA™ Trust M Provisioning
This white paper introduces a joint CommScope–Infineon solution that provisions Infineon’s OPTIGA™ Trust M secure element using CommScope’s PKIWorks® platform. It details how this integration delivers scalable, cryptographically secure credential provisioning for IoT devices, simplifying both factory and in-field workflows. The solution helps manufacturers reduce costs, accelerate time to market, ensure compliance with global security standards, and future-proof their IoT deployments.
This technical note provides guidance on obtaining the hardware and software components needed to run the provisioning demo for the CommScope SKU of the OPTIGA™ Trust M, using CommScope’s PKIWorks® provisioning server. It also includes step-by-step instructions for building and executing the demo.
