iot-core-concepts-diagram-device-profile-01.png

A Device profile in DigiCert​​®​​ IoT Trust Manager provides a structure for how device records are displayed and specifies which API endpoints a device can access. For instance, it might allow a device to view or update its own details.

Additionally, the Device Profile in IoT Trust Manager allows you to add up to 50 custom fields, making it easier to store extra device information.

Key features

  • Structure Definition Device Profile determines the layout and contents of a Device Record when registering a device in IoT Trust Manager.

  • API Access Management This profile specifies which API endpoints a device can access in IoT Trust Manager, such as:

    • Viewing its own Device Record

    • Modifying certain attributes, like its firmware version

  • Security Measures Devices are limited to interacting with their own Device Record, ensured by their certificate.

  • Flexible Fields Device Profile allows you to incorporate up to 50 custom fields, useful for:

    • Storing more device-related information

    • Recording specific details from the device's certificate

With the Device Profile in IoT Trust Manager, you can better manage how devices are presented and interacted with, supporting efficient and secure device management tailored to organizational requirements.
