Solve industrial certificate lifecycle challenges with vendor-independent engineering, integration and consulting. Trustpoint is the open-source certificate management platform used for suitable industrial deployments.
Machine identities, certificates and trust relationships across OT products, domains and infrastructure: explore practical applications, then use the interactive explorer to see representative deployment patterns across industrial automation, building automation, critical infrastructure and defence.
Industrial machines, applications and operational networks need dependable certificate lifecycles. Trustpoint Labs assesses the customer problem first, selects suitable open-standard PKI components, and integrates Trustpoint where it fits the technical and operational requirements.
Challenge: Manually distributing and renewing OPC UA application certificates can create outages, inconsistent trust lists and unnecessary maintenance work.
Approach: Design and integrate certificate and trust-list lifecycle workflows with compatible OPC UA Global Discovery Server (GDS) functionality and an appropriate issuing PKI. Trustpoint can support compatible GDS integration scenarios.

Challenge: Manual certificate provisioning and renewal do not scale reliably across fleets of embedded and industrial devices.
Approach: Integrate standards-based enrollment and renewal using EST or CMP, together with device authentication, certificate templates and policy controls. Trustpoint provides EST and CMP capabilities for compatible systems.

Challenge: Existing switches, firewalls and gateways may have certificate upload interfaces but no automated enrollment protocol, leaving renewal as a manual task.
Approach: Assess supported device interfaces and automate validated certificate-management steps where feasible. Trustpoint's Web-UI Automation approach provides a device-specific option; not every device or workflow is supported.
Challenge: Edge gateways and industrial applications operate across segmented networks and need consistent TLS identities without relying on permanent cloud connectivity.
Approach: Design local or centrally connected PKI workflows for provisioning, renewal and trust-store management. Depending on interfaces and deployment constraints, Trustpoint or other suitable PKI technologies can be integrated.

Choose an industry and integration level to explore a representative certificate-management deployment, its assets and prerequisites, and where Trustpoint can contribute alongside existing PKI infrastructure.
In CA mode, Trustpoint can issue certificates using a locally configured Certificate Authority. In RA mode, it manages enrollment workflows while certificates are issued by a suitable reachable upstream CA. These are configuration options, not separate products.
Illustrative deployment topology. Connections represent logical relationships, not specific protocols or communication flows.
Establish cryptographic device identities during manufacturing or initial provisioning, including device certificates, IDevIDs and trust anchors. Related workflows, such as secure-boot material or symmetric-key provisioning, depend on device hardware and integration scope.
Trustpoint can be integrated into a vendor's product, appliance or platform as an open-source machine-identity component. Trustpoint Labs offers OEM and white-label engineering and integration services; purchasing a proprietary Trustpoint licence is not required.
Trustpoint is deployed inside a defined operational domain such as a machine, robot, production cell, building, substation or vehicle. That domain remains part of the customer's larger operator environment.
Trustpoint is deployed at operator level to manage machine identities and certificate lifecycles across multiple operational domains. It can integrate with an upstream PKI where required, while supporting OT-specific deployment and connectivity constraints.
Machines, robots, production cells and plants with heterogeneous OT assets and lifecycle-managed machine identities.
Controllers, gateways, HVAC, access and building systems requiring consistent trust across long-lived and distributed assets.
Distributed, segmented and security-sensitive environments where identity lifecycle, resilience and controlled trust are essential.
Controlled and often disconnected operational environments with high requirements for trust, sovereignty and lifecycle management.
Trustpoint is an open-source platform for machine identity and certificate lifecycle management. Trustpoint Labs provides engineering, integration, OEM and white-label development, and support services to adapt Trustpoint to products and operational environments.
