CableLabs Security Documents

CableLabs manages specifications (e.g., DOCSIS®, PacketCable™, CableHome®, and OpenCable™) that require embedding digital certificates in devices at the time of manufacture. These certificates provide the basis for a number of security services including data confidentiality, content integrity, and hardware authentication.

Manufacturers, by requesting device certificates and handling the corresponding private keys, become part of the CableLabs Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). Before receipt of production device certificates, CableLabs requires that manufacturers execute a Digital Certificate Authorization Agreement, which governs the Manufacturer's practice for requesting certificates and their handling of the corresponding private keys.
