Device-to-Device Authentication

Whether for device‑to‑device pairing or peer‑to‑peer networks, authentication ensures the identity of the device so that confidentiality and validity of data collected can be trusted.

The solutions that we provide have cryptographic private keys and certificates that establish the identity of each device in your ecosystem. Establishing a secure identity is essential for use cases like drone to controller security, P25 radio communication, Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) and device pairing.

Fast compliance

Pre-certified Secure element for specific use cases like P25 radios allows faster compliance and shorter time-to-market.

The Challenge: Authentication between two remote devices

In use cases like Qi3 Wireless chargers, drone to controller pairing, P25 radio communication, or Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) devices need to authenticate each other, encrypt and trust the exchanged data to prevent counterfeiting and attacks like man-in-the-middle, spoofing or impersonation. For instance, When a drone is in flight, the command and control must be trusted and the data from the onboard camera and sensors must remain confidential and uncorrupted. The drone must trust the controller and the base station must trust the data from the drone.

The Solution: SEALSQ Device-to-Device remote Authentication

INes CMS allows to create and manage an identity for each device. Devices are personalized with their ID using Vault-I-Trust SaaS services. The SealSQ VaultIC405 or 408 embedded in the devices protects the keys and certificates and executes all the cryptographic operations required by mutual device authentication. VaultIC405 and 408 can be personalized for any specific use-case and is NIST certified FIPS140‑2 Level 2 and 3, and FIPS 140-3 to ensure not only the highest level of security but also fast time-to market and full compliance of your products with market regulations.

The Challenge: Authentication by contact between two devices

In use cases like Battery-to-host/charger, USB Type C connection, Cartridge-to-printer etc. devices and/or parts need to authenticate with each other to prevent damages and accidents resulting from counterfeit products as well as associated liabilities for the manufacturer. For instance, a fake battery or charger could permanently damage a device and even lead to serious user injuries. One of the reasons why USB-IF has recently included authentication and certificates in their specification for USB type C devices
