Asset Certificate
An Asset Certificate is an X.509 certificate issued for an Asset so a ground control station can authenticate when publishing telemetry. Only one Active certificate exists per asset at a time. The private key is never retained by the platform after the PFX is delivered.
Role in the platform
Operators download a PFX for GCS enrolment. Telemetry ingress validates the presented thumbprint against the active certificate. Revocation or supersession blocks further use of the previous certificate.
