CableLabs® DOCSIS® Keys and Certificates
DOCSIS® Security
The Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification, commonly known as DOCSIS® and developed by CableLabs®, is a telecomunications standard used to provide high-speed internet access via cable television systems. As the backbone of many internet service providers (ISPs), DOCSIS® plays a crucial role in delivering reliable and fast internet to millions of homes and businesses worldwide. Consequently, the importance of security in DOCSIS® cannot be overstated.
PKI is a critical component of DOCSIS® security, enabling mutual authentication between the cable modems and cable modem termination systems (CMTS). By leveraging digital certificates and public-private key pairs, PKI ensures that only authorized devices can access the network. This mechanism helps prevent unauthorized access and maintains the integrity of the DOCSIS® network.
CommScope is a long-term partner of CableLabs®. CommScope PKI Center has been providing DOCSIS® keys and certificates to many DOCSIS® product vendors since 2001. CommScope certificate authorities for DOCSIS® 4.0/3.1/3.0 and DPoE™ have been WebTrust-audited and approved by CableLabs® to issue certificates to all vendors for cable modems, remote PHY/MACPHY devices (RDPs & RMDs), and EPON ONUs. We provide multiple levels of DOCSIS® credentials provisioning services, from simple key and certificate generation to fully managed in-factory provisioning.
