Abstract: Systems, methods, and software can be used to provide security assurance information. In some aspects, a certificate request for a client process on a mobile device is received. A security assurance character for the client process is determined. Whether to grant the certificate request is determined based on the determined security assurance character. In response to determining to grant the certificate request, a certificate is generated.

Abstract: An asset management system is provided, which includes a hardware module operating as an asset control core. The asset control core generally includes a small hardware core embedded in a target system on chip that establishes a hardware-based point of trust on the silicon die. The asset control core can be used as a root of trust on a consumer device by having features that make it difficult to tamper with. The asset control core is able to generate a unique identifier for one device and participate in the tracking and provisioning of the device through a secure communication channel with an appliance. The appliance generally includes a secure module that caches and distributes provisioning data to one of many agents that connect to the asset control core, e.g. on a manufacturing line or in an after-market programming session.
