Pre-Provisioning & Pre-Programming Service
A common requirement during the initial device provisioning is configuring some device-specific custom data on the device. These are typically unique device certificates, which are used to connect with IoT cloud services. Mass flashing common images on a high-volume run is fairly easy, but having to program unique images per device becomes complex and costly.
Module Pre-Provisioning Service
The Espressif modules can be securely provisioned in the factory to contain unique per-device certificates and private keys. This enables out-of-the-box connectivity with common IoT clouds that use the X.509 certificate-based authentication.
Espressif’s flexible and secure manufacturing process enables customers to use provisioning either with a Certificate Authority (CA) or without one. In the case of provisioning with a Certificate Authority, Espressif provides the pre-provisioned modules with their unique device certificates, which can be registered with the IoT cloud service directly. In the case of provisioning without a Certificate Authority, customers can provide a self-signed certificate by using secure hardware authenticators and signing devices. This type of CA, then, can also be used on the Cloud to facilitate device registration with validly signed certificates.
In both of the aforementioned provisioning processes, the private key is generated in the device itself at the time of manufacturing, and it never leaves the device, which results in strong and simplified security management.
Matter Pre-Provisioning Service
Espressif’s Matter Pre-Provisioning Service allows customers to order modules from Espressif that are securely pre-programmed with the credentials that are mandatory for every Matter device. These include the unique DAC certificates as well as the QR-code-related information.
Device Attestation
All Matter devices must have a unique set of certificates, called Device Attestation Certificates (DAC), that are programmed into them. These DACs are X.509 certificates that should chain back to a valid Product Attestation Authority (PAA) that is registered with the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA). This ensures that only some authority that is approved by the CSA can generate and distribute these DACs, thus ensuring the authenticity of the devices. Espressif is an authorized PAA that can generate DACs that are securely pre-provisioned into the modules before they are shipped out.
Espressif’s Matter Pre-Provisioning Service will configure the modules with the DACs and the appropriate authentication credentials that are required for the proper operation of Matter. A manifest file is provided along with the modules that capture detailed information about the MAC address of modules, serial numbers, if any, and the corresponding QR Codes that should go along with these modules.
Pre-Programming Service
Espressif can help customers use their flash image when programming modules and chips that have a built-in flash. This facilitates customers to receive the modules with their application firmware and the manufacturing testing firmware. This can significantly reduce the manufacturing time and complexity of our customers’ manufacturing lines. The customer provides the signed bootloader and the signed firmware, which is pre-programmed on all the modules before locking and shipping them out.
