21Packets Trust & Identity

Make machine trust a condition of network participation.

Bind each Endlet to a cryptographic identity and machine-validated state, then apply lifecycle and policy controls before it can join the fabric.

Operational value

Identity and state at the point of connection

21Packets shifts trust decisions from assumed network location to the software endpoint itself. EdgeControl coordinates onboarding, validation, admission, re-attestation, replacement, retirement, and revocation while maintaining authoritative fleet state.

Inside the capability

Trust is earned before the fabric responds.

EdgeControl creates an isolated, out-of-band control and admission path for distributed Endlets. It governs authentication, authorization, admission, policy distribution, re-attestation, replacement, retirement, and revocation without relying on network presence as proof of trust.

Stable identity

Public-key identity and self-certifying addressing persist across reboots, IP renumbering, and physical relocation.

Zero-touch onboarding

Supports FIDO Device Onboard for late binding or approved credential-based enrollment.

Denied by default

Failed identity, software-state, authorization, or attestation checks receive no route state, protected policy, or key material.

Why it matters

Turn capability into operating advantage.

Control fabric admission

Require identity, authorization, and machine-validation conditions before an Endlet participates.

Limit lateral movement

Create identity-centric boundaries and least-privilege connectivity independent of physical location.

Govern the full lifecycle

Coordinate ongoing re-attestation, replacement, retirement, and revocation—not just initial enrollment.

How it operates

A coordinated path from policy to operation.

Establish identity

Assign a cryptographic identity to the Endlet and its role in the fabric.

Validate machine state

Evaluate the endpoint against authorization and machine-validation requirements.

Enforce lifecycle policy

Admit, re-attest, replace, retire, or revoke participation through EdgeControl.

Design your fabric

Start with the operating constraint you cannot compromise.

Bring your current topology, providers, workloads and continuity requirements. We’ll map the 21Packets capabilities that fit.
