# Qualcomm WES

Qualcomm WES is a suite of trusted services, rooted in hardware, which
securely connects and manages devices.

It offers the following services:

- Feature licensing enables device features identified by a feature ID
and an alias feature name. These features are enabled by installing
the corresponding feature licenses or certificates.
- Device attestation provides cryptographically signed and encrypted
data items that describe the security state of the device and its
software. These data items are useful for risk engines and other
similar applications.
- Secure provisioning enables the generation and use of cryptographic
keys that are secured using unique device keys. These keys are used
to:

    - Securely provision data to the device post-sale and over-the-air
(OTA).
    - Sign data on the device.

For developing applications that offer hardware-based attestation,
zero-touch device provisioning, and chipset feature management,
see: [Qualcomm Linux Wireless Edge Services Guide](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/resource/topics/80-70017-11B/overview.html).
This feature is available to licensed developers with authorized access.
