> To use EST and IoT Edge for automatic device identity certificate issuance and renewal, which is recommended for production, IoT Edge must provision as part of a [DPS CA-based enrollment group](./how-to-provision-devices-at-scale-linux-x509.md?tabs=group-enrollment%2cubuntu). Other methods of provisioning, including manual X.509 provisioning with IoT Hub and DPS with individual enrollment do not support automatic device identity certificate renewal.

## What is Enrollment over Secure Transport?
3538

3639
Enrollment over Secure Transport (EST) is a cryptographic protocol that automates the issuance of x.509 certificates. It's used for public key infrastructure (PKI) clients, like IoT Edge that need client certificates associated to a Certificate Authority (CA). EST replaces the need for manual certificate management, which can be risky and error-prone.
