 The proof of possession step involves a cryptographic challenge and response process between you and IoT Hub.  Given that digital certificate contents are public and therefore susceptible to eavesdropping, IoT Hub has to verify that you really own the CA certificate.  It does so by generating a random challenge that you sign with the CA certificate's corresponding private key.  If you kept the private key secret and protected as recommended, then only you will possess the knowledge to complete this step. Secrecy of private keys is the source of trust in this method.  After signing the challenge, you complete this step by uploading a file containing the results.

 ## Create a device on IoT Hub
 
 To prevent device impersonation, IoT Hub requires that you let it know what devices to expect.  You do this by creating a device entry in the IoT hub's device registry.  This process is automated when using [IoT Hub Device Provisioning Service](../iot-dps/about-iot-dps.md).

 ## Authenticate devices signed with X.509 CA certificates
 
 With your X.509 CA certificate registered and devices signed into a certificate chain of trust, the final step is device authentication when the device connects.  When an X.509 CA-signed device connects, it uploads its certificate chain for validation. The chain includes all intermediate CA and device certificates.  With this information, IoT Hub authenticates the device in a two-step process.  IoT Hub cryptographically validates the certificate chain for internal consistency, and then issues a proof-of-possession challenge to the device.  IoT Hub declares the device authentic on a successful proof-of-possession response from the device.  This declaration assumes that the device's private key is protected and that only the device can successfully respond to this challenge.  We recommend using secure chips like Hardware Secure Modules (HSM) in devices to protect private keys.
 
 A successful device connection to IoT Hub completes the authentication process and is also indicative of a proper setup. Every time a device connects, IoT Hub renegotiates the TLS session and verifies the device’s X.509 certificate.

 - For testing purposes, we recommend using OpenSSL to create an X.509 certificate chain. OpenSSL is used widely across the industry to work with X.509 certificates. You can follow the steps in [Tutorial: Use OpenSSL to create test certificates](tutorial-x509-openssl.md) to create a root CA and intermediate CA certificate with which to create and sign device certificates. The tutorial also shows how to upload and verify a CA certificate. Then, follow the instructions in [Tutorial: Test certificate authentication](tutorial-x509-test-certificate.md) to authenticate a device with your IoT hub.

-Although you can purchase X.509 certificates from a trusted certification authority, creating your own test certificate hierarchy or using self-signed certificates is adequate for testing IoT hub device authentication. The following example uses [OpenSSL](https://www.openssl.org/) and the [OpenSSL Cookbook](https://www.feistyduck.com/library/openssl-cookbook/online/ch-openssl.html) to create a certification authority (CA), a subordinate CA, and a device certificate. The example then signs the subordinate CA and the device certificate into a certificate hierarchy. This is presented for example purposes only.

The scripts are included with the [Azure IoT Hub Device SDK for C](https://github.com/Azure/azure-iot-sdk-c). The scripts are provided for demonstration purposes only. Certificates created by them must not be used for production. The certificates contain hard-coded passwords (“1234”) and expire after 30 days.
