Embedded SSL - SSL Certificate for Devices
Automate deployment of trusted SSL Certificates to routers, media and networked devicesIn an ever increasing mobile and interconnected world, accessing everyday devices ranging from media centers and recorders, point of sale equipment, network/wifi/cable routers, NAS vehicle equipment and even kitchen appliances devices, and the data they contain has become a necessity.
GlobalSign has made it easier and cheaper than ever for manufactures and value added resellers to provide the peace of mind around security that customers demand.
EmbeddedSSL provides fully verified Certificates, recognized in all popular browsers, for use in these devices. EmbeddedSSL is designed to decrease the in-house development costs associated with the procurement of SSL Certificates and to deliver Certificates in the most streamlined process possible. We allow very rapid development of pilot projects (a matter of days rather than months), eliminating the need to setup your own CA, PKI infrastructure and policies.
Embedded SSL - Key Features & Benefits:
- Low impact on Cost of Goods Sold
- Universal compatibility - all browsers / devices inherently trust GlobalSign SSL
- Eliminate "Un-trusted Certificate" errors end users get when accessing secured devices with self signed Certificates
- GlobalSign is the only CA that issues trusted SSL Certificates for devices with special pricing
- Pilot programs available for a minimal investment
- Rapid deployment, Certificate issuance within seconds
- SGC security guarantees strong 128bit to 256bit encryption strength
- Unlimited reissues / replacements for lifetime of Certificate
- Issued from a future proof 2048 bit root CA Certificate (meets NIST and CA/B Forum recommendations)
Why Self Signed Certificates Do Not Work
Providing a trusted, self-signed SSL Certificate, is simply not possible anymore. When presented with an untrusted Certificate browsers display warnings or simply refuse connections. Users are then dangerously conditioned to ignore these warnings and simply "click through". GlobalSign Embedded SSL Certificates simply work out of the box.
Save R&D funds for research and development
The return on your investment associated with Embedded SSL versus spending precious R&D dollars by setting up and testing in-house CA equipment is tremendous. Embedded SSL from GlobalSign requires no upfront costs, you only pay for the SSL Certificates procured. Costs of these Certificates, for strict use on appliances, is a magnitude lower than for general use SSL Certificates. A pilot can be setup for less than $15,000. We also do not require any equipment onsite.
How Embedded SSL Works
1. Certificates are installed during the manufacturing process
GlobalSign provides a comprehensive API allowing Certificate requests to be processed and issued in large numbers in a matter of seconds. We can generate the request on your behalf, meaning, you will only have to place the resulting Certificate (delivered in PKCS#12 format) in the appropriate place for use by the embedded web server. Certificates can have validity periods of up to five years and are fully verified before issuance.
2. Take advantage of our partnership with AutoSSL
If preferred, GlobalSign has partnered with AutoSSL to provide an option in the web interface where Certificates can be requested during setup of the appliance. Again, this is made as painless as possible and allows you or your customers to request and issue a Certificate in a matter of seconds.
