  • : Powered by DigiCert​​®​​ TrustCore SDK, handles critical device management functions such as registration, authentication, and software updates. It communicates securely with via the using MQTT 5.0 and TLS 1.3. All device-related communications between and the RZ are conducted over MQTT, ensuring secure and reliable exchanges.TrustCore SDK

  • : A scalable MQTT endpoint that manages communication between IoT devices and 's backend. The RZ is designed to handle millions of devices across distributed networks, facilitating registration, authentication, and updates.

  • Certificate management protocols: Supports industry-standard certificate management protocols such as EST, SCEP, ACME, and CMPv2 for issuing and renewing certificates.

  • Platform integration: Integrates with third-party services such as EJBCA, SIEM tools, and IoT platforms such as AWS and Azure. Also connects seamlessly with DigiCert​​®​​ products such as private DigiCert® CA Manager and DigiCert​​®​​ Software Trust Manager for broader certificate and software management capabilities.

  • REST API: Enables OEMs to manage device provisioning, updates, and security directly via API integration. This allows for automation and full control over device management, ensuring secure and compliant IoT environments across diverse infrastructures.
