Securely Connecting to AWS IoT Core With The ATECC608B
This course demonstrates the basics for connecting and authenticating with AWS IoT Core. (Nov 2021)
This course demonstrates the basics for connecting and authenticating with AWS IoT Core. The course starts with a basic introduction to the Microchip hardware security chips and also AWS authentication using TLS. We next provide instructions on setting up an AWS account, creating and setting up an Ubuntu VM.
After the introduction and setup are complete the modules step you through connecting to AWS IoT Core. We start by using the Ubuntu VM to create and send keys and certificates to AWS. This allows you to see all the details of what is happening without anything being hidden in a security chip. Also, we manually configure AWS IoT Core using the web GUI. There are ways to automate adding devices/certificates to AWS which are not covered, but it is important to see first how it can be done by hand which makes learning the automate methods later much easier.
Once you have experienced connecting to AWS we start adding in additional complexity. Next, in the Ubuntu VM we add usage of the ATECC608B Trust and Go chip which protects the secret key being used to authenticate with AWS. Then we test an alternative authentication method with AWS called Just In Time Registration (JITR) which uses a certificate chain and your ATECC608 Trust Flex chip to authenticate rather than individual certificate method.
Finally, we move from the Ubuntu VM to a completely embedded example using a Cortex M0+ development board and our WiFi module to connect to AWS.
After seeing all these varying methods of connecting securely to AWS you should have all the knowledge you need to get your production embedded system to authenticate with your AWS IoT Core service.
