1) Identity-based lifecycle management can establish accountability and trust in the IoT supply chain by enabling identity-driven services, improved quality, security and safety, and new business models.
2) A trusted identity coupled with traceability infrastructure allows issues to be traced from design to field use and parts to be authenticated and provisioned throughout their lifecycle.
3) Establishing a "circle of trust" through trusted alliances between players in the IoT value chain like IDMs, suppliers, manufacturers, and service providers can improve configurability, traceability, and the trust, quality and safety of connected devices and systems.
