ID² (Internet Device ID) is a tamper-proof, unforgeable identity for IoT devices. You can use ID² to authenticate devices that connect to IoT Platform.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, make sure that:
-
You have activated IoT Device ID.
-
You have purchased ID² licenses.
Background information
IoT Device ID provides bidirectional identity verification and link encryption between devices and IoT Platform.
Devices that use ID² authentication can be registered in two ways:
-
Create a product in the console without registering a device. After a device passes ID² authentication, IoT Platform automatically registers it using the reported device name.
-
Create a product in the console, enable ID² whitelist verification, and then register the device. Unregistered devices cannot pass authentication when connecting to IoT Platform.
Limitations
-
Only Enterprise Edition instances in the Japan (Tokyo) region support ID² authentication.
-
The authentication mode of a product cannot be changed after it has been set.
Authenticate a device using ID²
-
Log in to the IoT Platform console. In the top navigation bar, select the target region from the drop-down list.
-
On the Overview tab, under All Environments, find your instance and click its card.
-
In the left-side navigation pane, choose , and create a product, setting its authentication mode to ID². For more information, see Create a product.
NoteWhen an ID² product is created in the IoT Platform console, it is automatically added to the product list in the IoT Device ID console.
When you create the product, the Verification Type section contains the authentication mode (Required) and ID fields.
-
Contact your ID² support representative to complete the ID² license configuration for your product and the device onboarding process.
You can use the ListCustomerProducts and QueryId2OrderInfo APIs provided by your support representative to query your ID² products and their license statuses.
Results
After the device passes ID² authentication, it connects to IoT Platform.
