Certificate Management Protocols (EST, SCEP)
We are pleased to announce the release of two new implementations designed to streamline certificate management on embedded devices:
- CycloneEST is an EST (Enrollment over Secure Transport) client implementation. EST is a certificate management protocol that provides a secure method for IoT devices to enroll for X.509 certificates over HTTPS. EST automates certificate provisioning and renewal, ensuring secure device identities without requiring manual intervention.
- CycloneSCEP is an SCEP (Simple Certificate Enrolment Protocol) client implementation. Originally developed by Cisco and later standardized in RFC 8894, SCEP offers an easy way to request and renew X.509 certificates. SCEP automates certificate enrollment, reducing manual effort and effectively supporting large-scale deployments.
These new EST & SCEP implementations complement our existing ACME implementation (CycloneACME) as well as our full-featured SSL/TLS library (CycloneSSL), offering a a comprehensive set of options to our customers. All these libraries are distributed as a full ANSI C and highly maintainable source code, and are available either as open source (GPLv2, Evaluation) or under a royalty-free commercial license.
