Industrial Identity & Trust Management in heterogeneous OT structures against the backdrop of PQC

Industrial environments are becoming increasingly heterogeneous: modern machines, IIoT devices, edge systems, and OPC UA- and MQTT-based communication coexist with decades-old control systems, proprietary protocols and legacy systems. At the same time, software services and AI agents are giving rise to new non-human identities, which must also be uniquely authenticated and integrated into industrial trust models.

This highlights the growing importance of end-to-end Industrial Identity & Trust Management. Machine identities, certificates and cryptographic keys must not only be generated securely, but also managed throughout their entire lifec ...
