FabOS component
Secure On - & Offboarding
The Secure On & Offboarding Service offers the possibility to provision digital key pairs, certificates and other parameters via a secure communication channel to devices with a Secure Element.
Project partners involved
Easy, secure and flexible onboarding and offboarding of field devices with NXP Secure Elements.
A local backend server for issuing and managing digital device certificates in combination with a smartphone app enable secure and easy provisioning of generated certificates on NXP's Secure Elements. The integration effort for provisioning different devices for heterogeneous applications is greatly simplified by a generic device configuration description.

Problem:
- Provisioning digital certificates to devices in the field poses security risks
- Heterogeneous device applications increase the complexity of onboarding and offboarding processes
- Cloud-based approaches to certificate management pose further security risks
Solution approach:
- On-premises backend server for certificate management
- Provisioning of device configurations via an intuitive smartphone app
- Creation of provisioning profiles for different device types via a simple JSON description
- Use of NFC interface for easy provisioning of devices when powered off
- End-to-end encrypted communication channel between the backend server and the secure element

Use cases
FabOS forms the foundation of a modern production environment
Measuring
- Missing markings on milled parts make traceability in quality assurance to the manufacturing process difficult.
- The options for loading workpiece carriers are usually ambiguous and provoke errors due to lack of concentration.
- Type, position, orientation and placement accuracy of objects on the workpiece carriers are not available as digital information for subsequent processes.
- Process changes and parameter entries at workstations / machines are made in a less user-friendly manner by keyboard entry.
- Quality assurance in production with random samples is inaccurate or leads to high costs due to 100% inspection.
- The lack of secure data connections to production complicates remote service deployment.
