Solution Addresses Critical Issues of Bringing Large-Scale
Internet of Things Deployments Online and Securely Managing Devices
and Data
At the IoT Solutions World Congress, Intel
(NASDAQ:INTC) addressed the challenges facing the Internet of
Things (IoT) market today, and made a critical announcement
designed to empower the industry to make the most of the tremendous
opportunities ahead.

While earlier reports claimed that we will see 50 billion
IoT devices by 2020, the reality is we are nowhere close to
reaching those numbers. In fact, recent research reports are far
more tempered and predict closer to 30 billion devices in the same
timeframe. The reason for the scaled-down outlook is because of the
real-time issues of scaling deployments and security.
Today, provisioning and management of devices is a huge
challenge, as IoT devices are added manually. It involves
coordination between installation technicians, IT network
operations, and operational technology teams and can typically take
more than 20 minutes for a single device. Imagine installing 10,000
“smart IoT” light bulbs – at present, it could take two years to
complete the process. This is to say nothing of the effort required
to maintain device privacy and security.
To solve these complex issues, today Intel announced the launch
of Intel® Secure Device Onboard (Intel® SDO). This technology
securely automates and brings IoT devices online within seconds
rather than hours. Intel SDO is being offered to IoT platform
providers as a service they can provide to customers who wish to
onboard thousands of connected devices.

Intel SDO’s “zero touch” model allows devices to dynamically
discover the customer’s IoT platform account at power-on for
automatic registration. It offers a one-to-many, one-time
enablement solution that can be integrated into almost any device
or IoT platform, thereby eliminating the need to custom pre-load
provisioning configurations for each IoT implementation.
The Intel SDO also leverages Intel’s unique privacy-preserving
IoT identity solution, the Intel® Enhanced Privacy ID (Intel®
EPID), to anonymously authenticate the device and establish an
encrypted communication tunnel, thereby preventing hackers from
tracing the device from factory to owner. Intel EPID establishes a
best practice identity model for IoT onboarding and is a proven
method with over 2.7 billion keys distributed in Intel and
non-Intel MCU processors since 2008.
Intel has expanded the availability of Intel SDO across the IoT
ecosystem. Other silicon providers like Infineon, Microchip and
Cypress Semiconductor will embed the EPID identity capability in
their hardware. Cloud service platform and device management
software providers like Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services (AWS),
Microsoft Azure and Intel’s Wind River® Helix™ Device Cloud intend
to provide integration to support Intel SDO’s zero touch model.
Intel SDO is now integrated with Wind River Helix Device Cloud,
its device lifecycle management platform that enables IoT devices
to securely connect, monitor, manage and service devices. With the
integration of Intel SDO, Wind River’s latest release of Device
Cloud includes zero touch onboarding designed to mitigate the risk
of security attacks to a device, ensure privacy and deliver
automation that dramatically reduces installation and onboarding
time to mere seconds, among other new features and
capabilities.
Weatherford, a leading oil and gas services company, was part of
the Intel SDO pilot program. The company wanted to pull data from
existing controllers and install new wireless sensors through a
gateway to the cloud to drive oil and gas insights. By adopting the
Intel SDO and Wind River’s Device Cloud, Weatherford was able to
create a secure, scalable oilfield ecosystem from zero-touch
onboarding to continual gateway management. It projects the sheer
scale of the market for managed devices could reach 290,000 wells,
representing 870,000 sensor data points and nearly 10,000 IoT
gateways at a global level.
With these new offerings, Intel is at the forefront of
developing cutting-edge solutions to deliver on the promise of
IoT’s potential.
