Security Best Practices

Certificate Management

1. Key Protection

   // Always use secure channels for private key upload
   // Ensure key files have restricted permissions (0600)
   err := client.LoadCertificateWithPrivateKey(ctx, certs, keys, ids)
   

2. Certificate Validation

   info, _ := client.GetCertificateInformation(ctx, certID)
   if time.Now().After(info.Validity.Until) {
       log.Warning("Certificate expired!")
   }
   

3. CA Trust Chain

   // Load CA certificates before device certificates
   client.LoadCACertificates(ctx, caCerts)
   client.LoadCertificates(ctx, deviceCerts)
   

WiFi Configuration

1. Secure Credentials

   // Use 802.1X instead of PSK for enterprise
   config := &Dot1XConfiguration{
       Identity: "device@company.com",
       EAPMethod: 13, // EAP-TLS with certificates
   }
   

2. Network Validation

   networks, _ := client.ScanAvailableDot11Networks(ctx, "wifi0")
   for _, net := range networks {
       // Only connect to known SSIDs
       if net.SSID == "TrustedNetwork" && 
          net.PairCipher[0] == Dot11CipherCCMP {
           // Safe to connect
       }
   }
   

---

Migration from Previous Versions

If upgrading from a version without certificate/WiFi support:

// Old approach - no certificate verification
client, _ := onvif.NewClient("http://camera")

// New approach - with certificates
client, _ := onvif.NewClient("https://camera")
certs, err := client.GetCertificates(ctx)
if err != nil {
    // Handle certificate retrieval
}

// Verify certificate before proceeding
info, _ := client.GetCertificateInformation(ctx, certs[0].CertificateID)
fmt.Printf("Connected to: %s\n", info.SubjectDN)
