Scope
This OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA) series specification defines the life cycle of Devices and Composites and mechanisms to verify their authenticity, set up their security and maintain their configuration
Purpose
The Onboarding model is designed to allow the configuration of a Device to be managed over the complete lifecycle of the Device from manufacture to decommissioning. The entire lifecycle approach is needed because Devices, unlike PC-class computers, are often shipped with automation software pre-installed and are connected directly to sensitive networks. This requires a process to authenticate Devices before they are given access to a sensitive network.
