Get started with EdgeLock A5000 support package
EdgeLock A5000 helps to set up a trusted TLS connection to onboard devices to the
cloud without writing security code or exposing credentials or keys.
The AN12400 describes how to leverage EdgeLock A5000 to establish a secure
connection with the private cloud of an Original Equipment Manufacturer.
5.1.5 AN13500 - EdgeLock A5000 Secure Authenticator for electronic anti-
counterfeit protection using device-to-device authentication
The EdgeLock A5000 provides a tamper-resistant hardware that is capable of securely
storing keys and credentials needed to verify the authenticity of an IoT device and
a server. The AN12399 describes how to implement a strong mutual authentication
mechanisms using digital certificates.
5.1.6 Auth Plug & Trust MW Documentation
The Plug&Trust Middleware provides support for the A5000 secure authenticator through
the SSS and se05x API. This document gives an overview of the supported SSS and
se05x APIs and examples. The document also describes the A5000 dedicated CMake
settings.
5.1.7 OM-A5000 hardware overview
The AN13541 describes the OM-A5000ARD development kit and details how to use
its jumpers to configure the different communication options with the EdgeLock A5000
security IC.
5.2 Applicable documentation from SE05x Family
The NXP Plug & Trust middleware supports the EdgeLock A5000 Secure Authenticator
and the SE05x Secure Element product family. For many use cases the Plug & Trust
middleware abstracts the hardware as well application API and allows to use existing
SE05x examples and documentation for the EdgeLock A5000 Secure Authenticator. To
take advantage of EdgeLock A5000 features, please select the corresponding CMake
options as described in
.
