DigiCert announces new open-source TrustCore SDK

DigiCert has announced the open-source release of its TrustCore SDK, a production-proven cryptographic library for embedded and IoT devices.

Now available under the AGPL v3 license on GitHub, TrustCore SDK reportedly gives developers the tools to design security into their products from the start by enabling them to evaluate, integrate and customise trusted cryptographic capabilities with full transparency.

By offering both an open-source option and a commercially-supported path, DigiCert is reportedly helping organisations build quantum-resilient solutions that scale securely for production deployments.

The release of the open-source TrustCore SDK is said to address a growing need for verifiable, high-assurance cryptography as embedded and connected devices face new threats. .

Production-tested cryptography

The company has articulated that traditional cryptography libraries are often opaque, difficult to validate and slow to adapt to evolving standards like post-quantum readiness.

TrustCore SDK reportedly changes that by placing open, production-tested cryptography into developers’ hands, enabling faster innovation, improved transparency and community-driven integration of emerging standards like TLS 1.3 and PQC algorithms.

“Transparent and future-ready”

Deepika Chauhan, Chief Product Officer, DigiCert said: “As we approach a post-quantum era, the ability to build trust into the core of connected systems has become an imperative for achieving resilience.”

“By open sourcing TrustCore SDK, we’re moving the industry toward a more transparent and future-ready foundation where security is not just a technical feature, but a strategic enabler of innovation, reliability and intelligent trust.”

TrustCore SDK: Standing out

TrustCore SDK is said to offer support for TLS 1.3, MQTT, SCEP, EST and post-quantum cryptographic algorithms and stands apart from other open-source crypto libraries by offering:

  • A 15+ year production track record across high-assurance industries
  • FIPS-compliant configurations for rigorous security use cases
  • Direct integration with DigiCert Device Trust Manager, enabling certificate lifecycle automation
  • Modular availability, starting with the NanoSSH module on GitHub, with more components releasing over the coming months
