Secure Elements

Scope / Goals

Develop a specification for the integration of secure elements into OPC UA security by means of a generic trust anchor (GTA) API.
This will include the definition of GTA API profiles as introduced by ISO/IEC TS 30168 to facilitate the use of security information on secure elements from OPC UA applications.
Example applications are:

• authentication, verification, and establishment of security associations for OPC UA communication
• user authentication

To prove and verify the conceptional and standardization work, there will be practical setups including software and tests of the specified details organized in parallel.
