KEYNOA Engine
Trustworthy devices for the IoT.
With KEYNOA, you can manufacture devices with unique identities, providing users with the flexibility and IT security required for the IoT.
KEYNOA Engine
The KEYNOA Engine is a turnkey device software that facilitates the automatic establishment of encrypted connections using protocols such as MQTT or OPC UA. Additionally, it supports device management, certificate management, and integration with third-party systems through access to the KEYNOA Enrollment Service.
Rising demands for manufacturers
Device manufacturers must provide communication interfaces that enable both the evaluation of field data and integration with data platforms using common communication protocols (OPC UA/MQTT). Flexibility, scalability, and ease of use are essential criteria. With the increasing demand to implement security standards such as IEC 62443, important IT security methods must also be integrated into production. KEYNOA offers device manufacturers an easy and fast way to make their devices IoT-capable, even without expert knowledge.
Each device requires a unique identity
KEYNOA helps strengthen IT security within the supply chain by generating a unique identity for each device. This identity is cryptographically bound and clearly assigned to the device, certifying its integrity within the supply chain. It serves as the foundation for the automatic provisioning process. Additionally, KEYNOA supports devices that are already equipped with a security chip, such as TPM or Secure Element.
Interoperability
Enhance flexibility and compatibility across various operator ecosystems.
IT security
Enable secure and reliable device authentication.
Transaction costs
Reduce the costs associated with device pre-configuration.
Mass
Enrollment
Help your customers enjoy an enhanced experience when installing your devices.
Seamless integration into any Linux OS
The KEYNOA Engine is hardware-agnostic and can be deployed directly on the field device without altering or exposing existing functionalities. Existing communication interfaces in the target application can be reused. If needed, protocol-specific drivers and an OPC UA server for communication can also be provided. The KEYNOA Engine is developed as architecture-independent C code for maximum compatibility with common systems and platform independence. This ensures flexibility, allowing the use of preferred architectures such as Armv6, Armv7, or x86.
Who is the KEYNOA Engine designed for?
The KEYNOA Engine is highly beneficial for device manufacturers looking to help their users reduce repetitive tasks in device configuration and management, while also ensuring device integrity across the value chain. These requirements are particularly important when producing large volumes of devices that need to be integrated into various ecosystems. Seamless compatibility with hyperscaler clouds (such as Azure and AWS) becomes a key differentiator in these scenarios.
