Challenges
Carnegie Technologies' Longview IoT faced several challenges in developing their IoT asset management solution:
- Scalable, Secure Platform: Needed a reliable and scalable security platform to build out their triple-layer security framework.
- Supply Chain Security: Required a solution to secure their device supply chain from manufacturing through deployment.
- Automated Certificate Management: Sought an automated platform to minimize manual management of Certificate Authority (CA) and Registration Authority (RA) services.
- Easy Integration: Needed an easy-to-use API to lessen the integration burden on their development team.
- In-Field Sensor Identification: Required agility in identifying and managing in-field sensors.
Solution
Longview¡¯s triple-layer security framework was developed in collaboration with GlobalSign and Synopsys:
- LoRaWAN Native Encryption: Provides 128-bit encryption for LPWAN networks.
- Synopsys SRAM PUF Technology: Generates device-specific keys based on unique semiconductor anomalies, ensuring secure device identities.
- Certificate Authority Services: GlobalSign provided CA-backed certificate provisioning to protect devices and data transmissions.
Key components of the solution include:
- Private and Public CA and RA Services: Automated provisioning of device certificates during manufacturing (Birth Certificates) and in-field deployment.
- IoT Edge Enroll Integration: GlobalSign¡¯s platform manages Private CA and encrypts data communication, enabling secure connectivity to AWS cloud services.
Results
The partnership and integration of technologies yielded significant benefits:
- Optimized Development: The IoT Edge Enroll RESTful API streamlined security development and integration, reducing costs and time to market.
- Automated Certificate Provisioning: Streamlined private CA and RA functions, reducing internal management costs.
- In-Field Device Identity Enrollment: Enabled tracking and monitoring of existing assets.
- Supply Chain Security: Secured the supply chain from device manufacturing through in-field deployment and operation.
By leveraging the combined strengths of GlobalSign and Synopsys, Longview has developed a secure, scalable, and efficient IoT solution that addresses the complex security needs of industrial asset management. This partnership ensures that businesses and users are protected by best-in-class technologies at every point in the system, making the solution future-proof for enterprises of any size.
