Key Injection

Key Injection gives every Device an Identity

Security by Design – the route to secure identity. The number of connected devices in the Internet of Things (IoT) is growing exponentially, increasing the risk of manipulation of these devices. As a result, the authenticity, integrity and confidentiality of the device or the data needs to be guaranteed.

Key injection is the starting point for securely managing an IoT device over its product lifetime. To make sure that device identities are not hacked, keys need to be generated by an HSM.

Business value

Root of Trust for IoT

Ensuring that each device has a unique electronic identity that can be trusted and managed throughout the complete device life-cycle from manufacturing (key injection) through device operation (PKI) to end-of-operation (key termination). Secures key storage and processing inside the secure boundary of the HSM
Extensive key management with key authorization

Device & Data Security

Providing each device with a trusted ‘key injected’ identity using digital certificates
Ensuring secure communication and software updates over the lifetime of the device
Secures storage of data obtained and shared by devices in a database using encryption and secure key storage in an HSM
Device auditing & tracking
If a device demonstrates unusual behaviour, administrators can revoke privileges or decommission the device

Scalable and flexible

Seamless integration – supplying a key injection solution for establishing a secure, authenticated network of devices
Performs periodic key rotations in the instance of suspected or known key compromise by quickly and efficiently replacing terminal keys in the field
Multiple integrations with PKI applications, database encryption
PKI can be managed on-premise or cloud-based.
Supports the requirements of Verifone Remote Key (VRK), allowing customers with their own Terminal Management Systems to build a remote keying facility.
