Security
Signed firmware
Signed firmware is implemented by the software vendor signing the firmware image with a private key. When a firmware has this
signature attached to it, a device will validate the firmware before accepting to install it. If the device detects that the firmware
integrity is compromised, the firmware upgrade will be rejected.
Secure boot
Secure boot is a boot process that consists of an unbroken chain of cryptographically validated software, starting in immutable
memory (boot ROM). Being based on the use of signed firmware, secure boot ensures that a device can boot only with authorized
firmware.
Axis Edge Vault
Axis Edge Vault is a secure cryptographic compute module which can be used for cryptographic operations on securely stored
certificates. Edge Vault provides tamper protected storage, enabling each device to protect its secrets. It sets a foundation for safe
implementation of more advanced security features.
Axis device ID
Axis device ID works like a digital passport, unique for each device unit. It is securely and permanently stored in Edge Vault as a
certificate signed by Axis root certificate. Axis device ID is designed to prove the origin of the device, enabling a new level of
device trust through the life cycle of the product.
