Certification Authority (CA)

Ellipsys-CA is part of the Ellipsys Trust Framework which is Elliptic’s solution to help device manufactures and system providers protect their product from tampering, cloning, and other threats.

Device manufacturers are at great risk of losing revenue because of illegal product tampering, like product hacking, cloning and counterfeiting. To address such issues, Elliptic offers the Ellipsys-CA which is a server based set of applications that provide the ability to generate and manage credentials. Ellipsys-CA offers a trusted, managed environment to generate, inject, transport, archive and revoke keys and certificates.

Ellipsys-CA gives device manufactures more control over their outsourced manufacturing process. It also prevents device cloning and replacement by giving the device manufacturers the capability to control access to secret information and thus eliminating or reducing the threat of secret data leakage.

There are multiple variants of Certificate Authority (CA) schemes that Ellipsys-CA can support. Ellipsys-CA can work as a standalone solution, or in tandem with other Ellipsys Trust Framework companions, such as Ellipsys-SB and Ellipsys-VSM.
