WISeKey Selected as
Collaborator by NIST
for the NCCoE Trusted IoT
Network Layer Onboarding Project
WISeKey is working with
the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST’s)
National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence
(NCCoE) in their Trusted IoT
Device Network-Layer Onboarding and Lifecycle Management Consortium
project.
Geneva, Switzerland –
July 8, 2022:
WISeKey International Holding Ltd. (“WISeKey”) (NASDAQ: WKEY; SIX:
WIHN), a leading global cybersecurity, IoT, and AI company, today
announced that it has been selected as a collaborator by NIST for
the NCCoE Trusted IoT Device Network-Layer Onboarding and Lifecycle
Management Consortium project. Additional information
on this consortium can be found at:
http://www.nccoe.nist.gov/projects/trusted-iot-device-network-layer-onboarding-and-lifecycle-management.
Other collaborators in this project are
CableLabs, Cisco, Foundries.io, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE),
Kudelski IOT, NquiringMinds, NXP Semiconductors, Open Connectivity
Foundation (OCF), Sandelman Software Works, and Silicon Labs.
For this project, WISeKey is working with NIST
to define recommended practices for performing trusted
network-layer onboarding, which will aid in the implementation and
use of trusted onboarding solutions for IoT devices at scale.
The WISeKey contributions to the project will be
Trust Services for credentials and secure semiconductors to keep
the credential secure. Specifically, WISeKey will offer INeS
Certificate Management Service (CMS) for issuing credentials and
VaultIC secure semiconductors to provide tamperproof key storage
and cryptographic acceleration.
Paul Watrobski, IT Security Specialist, NIST
NCCoE said, “Secure deployment and maintenance of IoT devices
throughout their lifecycle is a challenge for managing any home,
small business, or enterprise network. Each use-case requires a
low-friction, trusted, and repeatable mechanisms for issuing and
validating credentials, and authenticating devices and networks. We
are excited to collaborate with WISeKey to develop example
solutions to establish and maintain secure devices and
networks."
Carlos Moreira, WISeKey's CEO pointed out, “We
are honored to have been selected as a collaborator in the Trusted
IoT Device Network-Layer Onboarding and Lifecycle Management
project. The secure identities, credentials, and storage that
WISeKey will contribute for this project are key elements for the
overall security of IoT devices. Additionally, these demonstrations
will be important examples of best practices for IoT Security.”

not evaluate commercial products under this consortium and does not
endorse any product or service used.
About the National Cybersecurity Center
of Excellence
(NCCoE)As part
of NIST, the NCCoE is a collaborative hub where industry
organizations, government agencies, and academic institutions work
together to address businesses’ most pressing cybersecurity issues.
This public-private partnership enables collaboration in the
creation of practical cybersecurity solutions for specific
industries, as well as for broad, cross-sector technology
challenges. Through consortia under CRADAs, including technology
partners, from Fortune 50 market leaders to smaller companies
specializing in information technology and operational technology
security, the NCCoE applies standards and best practices to develop
modular, and easily adaptable example cybersecurity solutions by
using commercially available technologies. The NCCoE documents
these example solutions in the NIST Special Publication 1800
series, which maps capabilities to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework
and details the steps needed for another entity to re-create the
example solution. The NCCoE was established in 2012 by NIST in
partnership with the State of Maryland and Montgomery County,
Maryland. Information is available at
