Build resilient IoT device applications that remain active using the AWS IoT Device SDKs

Introduction In this blog post, we provide recommendations on how you can build resilient Internet of Things (IoT) device applications using AWS IoT Core, AWS IoT Device SDKs, and MQTT protocol. These recommendations cover: managing your MQTT client, publishing and reception of messages, initiating the device application process, setting up the network connection, performing software […]

Simplify multi-account device provisioning and certificate authority registration when using AWS IoT Core

Customers often manage multiple AWS accounts to separate their development, staging, and production environments. When deploying IoT workloads on AWS IoT Core, customers usually use unique X.509 certificates for identifying devices and certificate authorities (CAs) for validating the signature of device certificates during provisioning. In this blog, we will demonstrate how to use the newly […]

Unlock the value of embedded security IP to build secure IoT products at scale

Introduction IoT product development crosses several domains of expertise from embedded design to communication protocols and cloud computing. Because of this complexity “end-to-end” or “edge-to-cloud” IoT security is becoming a challenging concept in the industry. Edge in many cases refers to the device as a single element in the edge-to-cloud chain. But the device must […]
