“We are thrilled to support DUCTECH to release new smart home products based on Matter,” said David Khalifa, VP of Global Sales for WISeKey. “With Matter standard, device makers need to start preparing devices to be “Matter-Trusted” and receive Matter approval. Additionally, compliance with Matter standard eases the burden for manufacturers to properly secure connected IoT devices and at the same time increase functionality and performance. We are quickly bringing Matter-enabled products to the market, and we look forward to securely connect the entire smart home ecosystem.”

The growing adoption of Matter standard for the smart home industry will greatly improve interoperability between devices and security-by-design in the smart home industry, creating a more efficient and safer experience for consumers. This is in full alignment with SEALSQ’s mission to contribute in building a safer connected world, as described on SEALSQ Device Attestation for Matter.

Matter participants may gain the following benefits by partnering with SEALSQ:

  • Reducing time-to-market in achieving Matter compliance.
  • Reducing costs of technology, maintenance, staffing and ongoing compliance.
  • Enjoying more flexible deployment options, including on-premises, hosted or batch issuance.
  • Simplifying management of device attestation certificates and product attestation intermediates through SEALSQ INeS CMS Platform for IoT.
  • Gaining efficiency using a scalable platform to sign and secure device updates.

Matter, an industry-led effort of the CSA, brings together the world’s leading manufacturers and service providers to achieve secure, reliable and seamless use of smart home devices. Matter enables IP-based networking and communication across smart home devices, mobile applications and smart home ecosystems. Matter devices offer consumers assurances of secure use through a consortium-led standard for authenticating device identity that only allows Matter-certified devices to connect to the network. Device attestation process allows existing Matter devices to locally confirm new ones when recognized by the local network, and quickly remove non-compliant devices when needed.
