Your CA. Our Platform.
You Already Have a PKI. You Shouldn't Have to Abandon It.
Most IoT platforms force you onto their certificate authority. That means ripping out your existing PKI, re-issuing certificates, re-certifying for compliance, and explaining to your security team why the chain of trust changed.
Koios BYOCA integrates with your existing CA hierarchy. Upload your root and intermediate certificates, and Koios issues device certificates under your chain of trust. Your compliance posture doesn't change. Your security team doesn't lose sleep.
BYOCA Capabilities
How It Works
Upload CA Certificates
Import your root and intermediate CA certificates into Koios. Your private keys stay with you — we only need the public chain.
Configure Policies
Set issuance policies, key types, validity periods, and naming constraints that match your existing PKI governance.
Issue Device Certificates
Provision devices with certificates issued under your CA hierarchy. Individually, in bulk, or via API integration with your manufacturing line.
