Welcome to the IoTSF Device Identity Forum Working Group landing page
What is this group?
This is the Device Identity Forum. It was formed on May 15, 2025. This WG deals with device trust. Every device must reliably declare, “I am who I say I am,” and “I’m safe to connect.” Device identities—unique, hardware-rooted identifiers—provide this foundation, enabling a “chain of trust” that spans from silicon to cloud.
This WG exists to provide technical and marketing guidance to make device identities and and ubiquitous. The Forum meets approximately once a month online, and will produce a number of white papers (see below), as well as various other market guidance.
