ID² device authentication-IoT Platform (Deprecated)(IoT)-阿里云帮助中心

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. For more information, see the IoT Device ID User Guide.

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 and legacy public instances in the China (Shanghai) and Singapore regions 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 Devices > Products, and create a product, setting its authentication mode to ID². For more information, see Create a product.

Note
When 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.
Log in to the IoT Security Operations Center console.
1. To assign licenses, see Integration and deployment.
2. For details about ID²-based device onboarding, see Connect a device to Alibaba Cloud IoT Platform by using ID²-SE and Connect a device to Alibaba Cloud IoT Platform by using ID²-KM.

Results

After the device passes ID² authentication, it connects to IoT Platform. IoT Platform automatically registers the device. You can view the device on the Assets > Device Integration page in the IoT Security Operations Center console.
