    Hi @Community member​,

    Did you still need this feature ?

    Basically, you can use MbedTLS integration to craft the CSR and reroute ECC signature generation to STSAFE-A feature to generate CSR signature.

    If needed, I can share some code example for MbedTLS integration and CSR generation.

    Best Regards,

    Benjamin,

    I also need to sign a CSR with the STSAFE-A110.

    This would be great.

    How does a CSR code signing certificate work?

    It is a first step towards having your own SSL/TLS certificate that you need to send a certificate signing request (CSR). A CSR is a document that is generated on the same server as the one where a certificate is going to be installed. It contains information (e.g. common name, organization, country) that the Certificate Authority (CA) will use to create the certificate.
