Geneva, Switzerland – May 18, 2022: WISeKey
International Holding Ltd (“WISeKey”) (SIX: WIHN,
NASDAQ: WKEY),), a leading global cybersecurity, blockchain,
AI and IoT company today announced that it has boosted the
deployment of its Certificate Management Solution (CMS), INeS,
dedicated to the Internet of Things (IoT) by adding new
functionalities to processes that involve registration,
configuration and provisioning, maintenance and monitoring of
connected devices to all the significant cloud providers, such as
Azure IoT Hub, AWS IoT or Google Cloud IoT, to include services of
IoT device management in their offerings.
INeS integrates a Device Management capability and can be used
through a web interface and REST API, which enables customers and
developers to automate the device and certificate management,
integrating it with the manufacturing chain. INeS is capable to
remotely identify credentials and control activation, deactivation,
revocation, renewal and securely provision (point to point secure
update) for IOT edge devices and business applications.
WISeKey offers the INeS platform as a managed service out of its
secure datacenters in Switzerland; however, on-premises and hybrid
deployments are also available, depending on the customer needs and
security policies. The platform supports multitenancy, which means
that customers can use the same software instance to implement
several parallel, independent solutions or projects.
Device management services are evolving in response to greater
breadth of device technologies such as edge intelligence and
connectivity technologies, as well as to customer pain points like
scalability and security of IoT deployments. But forward-looking
suppliers are also preparing for a world where over 40% of the
connected devices are projected to be using some form of LPWA
technologies by 2026. Since IoT customers increasingly need to
manage a larger fleet of connected devices, global technology
intelligence firm ABI Research, forecasts that IoT device
management services will top $36.8 billion in revenues by
2026.
Public key cryptography and digital certificates are used to
implement strong authentication, data encryption and digital
signatures. WISeKey’s upgraded INeS CMS for IoT is a flexible and
scalable certificate management platform is used to issue,
validate, and manage digital identities using a PKI solution,
represented as Digital Certificates, in compliance with the X509
ITU (ISO/IEC 9594-8:2001) standards. It also supports all major
certificate enrollment protocols, such as SCEP, CMP, CMC and
EST.INeS integrates a Device Management capability and can be used

Imagine an intelligent car protected by IoT chips with a system
processing authenticated data for each of the vehicle components,
being able to detect if/when different parts will require service
and to digitally sign all the logs required to prove that service
was provided. The INeS platform can be used in multiple
industrial applications, allowing for optimized productivity
across industries through predictive maintenance on equipment and
machinery, creating truly smart homes with connected appliances,
and providing critical communication between devices including
self-driving cars and smart homes. The possibilities that IoT
brings to the table are endless. WISeKey’s technology creates a
platform that helps connected devices to become intelligent
devices that can learn from attacks, defend themselves, and
transfer this intelligence to other devices in the network.
In order to protect the IoT, security needs to be embedded at
the very beginning of the device microchip design, so the RoT is
also embedded in connected devices, to secure the interactions
among objects and between objects and business applications. The
WISeKey ecosystem install base has expanded in virtually all
IoT sectors (smartcards, smart cities, drones, anti-counterfeiting,
smart lighting, servers, mobile phones, etc.). WISeKey is
uniquely positioned to be at the edge of IoT as VaultIC Secure
Elements protect a huge amount of Big Data that, when analyzed with
AI, can help industrial applications detect cybersecurity attacks
or predict the failure of their equipment before it happens. The
IoT revenue mode is recurrent, as what gets consumed and measured
on a repeating basis are not the microchips or the RoT, but the
authenticated data they produce and the services that
this data enables.
About WISeKeyWISeKey (NASDAQ: WKEY; SIX Swiss
Exchange: WIHN) is a leading global cybersecurity company currently
deploying large scale digital identity ecosystems for people and
objects using Blockchain, AI and IoT respecting the Human as the
Fulcrum of the Internet. WISeKey microprocessors secure the
pervasive computing shaping today’s Internet of Everything. WISeKey
IoT has an install base of over 1.5 billion microchips in virtually
all IoT sectors (connected cars, smart cities, drones, agricultural
sensors, anti-counterfeiting, smart lighting, servers, computers,
mobile phones, crypto tokens etc.). WISeKey is uniquely
positioned to be at the edge of IoT as our semiconductors produce a
huge amount of Big Data that, when analyzed with Artificial
Intelligence (AI), can help industrial applications to predict the
failure of their equipment before it happens.
Our technology is Trusted by the OISTE/WISeKey’s Swiss based
cryptographic Root of Trust (“RoT”) provides secure authentication
and identification, in both physical and virtual environments, for
the Internet of Things, Blockchain and Artificial Intelligence. The
WISeKey RoT serves as a common trust anchor to ensure the integrity
of online transactions among objects and between objects and
people. For more information,
