IoT SAFE ensures end-to-end mutual authentication, securing data exchange by verifying the device and server identities before communication begins.
Scalable solutions

Designed for massive IoT deployments, IoT SAFE leverages billions of tamper-resistant elements globally, enabling seamless scalability.
Proven technology

Built on field-tested SIM/eSIM technology, IoT SAFE integrates standardized APIs to deliver robust, interoperable security across IoT devices.
Simplified deployment

The GSMA’s standard API allows seamless integration, reducing complexity and time-to-market for secure IoT deployments.
Comprehensive coverage

IoT SAFE secures IoT data at every stage – at rest, in transit and during processing – ensuring data integrity and confidentiality.
Future-proof design

IoT SAFE adapts to evolving threats, providing a scalable and forward-looking framework for long-term IoT security.

Secure IoT with GSMA IoT SAFE

The GSMA IoT SAFE initiative secures IoT devices by leveraging tamper-resistant elements and standardized APIs to ensure end-to-end mutual authentication and scalable security solutions.

Thales IoT SAFE not only leverages, but exceeds GSMA standards, offering robust security and scalability for IoT ecosystems. Our solution ensures mutual authentication between IoT devices and the cloud before any data exchange, using eSIM, iSIM or SIM technologies as a root of trust. Beyond the standards, we deliver additional value-added security services to strengthen the IoT ecosystem.

Key Features of Thales IoT SAFE

The device’s private key, stored in tamper-resistant hardware such as eSIM, iSIM or SIM, signs authentication data for the cloud. The cloud’s digital certificate, also stored securely, verifies authenticity. This end-to-end mutual authentication enables a secure TLS connection.
