Securing the Edge: A Hardware-Based Approach to Device Trust and Integrity
This whitepaper explains how Axis Edge Vault provides a hardware-based cybersecurity platform designed to protect devices from tampering and unauthorized access. Built on cryptographic computing modules such as secure elements, TPM, and trusted execution environments, it establishes a root of trust through secure boot and signed operating systems. These mechanisms ensure that only verified software runs on the device while protecting sensitive data like cryptographic keys and device identities. Features such as secure keystore, device ID, and signed video further enhance protection by enabling secure onboarding, preventing data extraction, and ensuring video authenticity. Together, these capabilities deliver a multi-layered defense that strengthens trust, reduces cyber risk, and ensures de
