Trustpoint Client Software

The secure user-driven onboarding utility for Trustpoint.

[!CAUTION] Trustpoint Client is currently in an early technology preview (alpha) state. Do not use it in production.

What is Trustpoint Client?

Trustpoint Client allows you to onboard devices to Trustpoint, which encompasses retrieving the trust store, and requesting and downloading a digital identity (LDevID) and its associated certificate chain. All you need is a command line interface on your device, and a recent version of python.

[!WARNING] Please only onboard devices to your network you are sure you can trust.
