NEW
YORK, Nov. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Tuya Smart (NYSE: TUYA, HKEX: 2391), a global
IoT developer service provider, successfully achieved PSA Certified
Level 1 device certification for its self-developed TS24-U module.
The TS24-U is a Matter over Thread module created by Tuya that
comprises the EFR32MG24 RF processor chip, EFR32MG24, a number of
peripherals, and a built-in 802.15. 4 PHY/MAC Thread network
protocol stack and rich library functions.
Since the Connectivity Standards Alliance announced Matter,
leading brand manufacturers and OEMs have gradually increased their
interest in the production of Matter devices. In addition to
assisting customers in achieving cross-brand connectivity and
breaking the ecosystem barriers that have bound them, creating a
safer and more comprehensive Matter device development solution
will also guarantee that end users receive stronger security
protection, supporting the healthy growth of the Matter
ecosystem.
The PSA Certified program, through which the TS24-U module was
certified, is an independent IoT security framework and
certification scheme, originally founded by Arm and six
industry-leading security companies and evaluation laboratories to
support the large-scale deployment of secure IoT solutions.
Achieving PSA Certified Level 1 means that the TS24-U module
created by Tuya has achieved the certification of security from
design to deployment and gained the assurance of having the
necessary security measures and defense mechanisms to effectively
respond to security threats and potential risks. Developers who use
the TS24-U module to finish Matter over Thread device development
can not only ensure that the Matter devices have fundamental
information security capabilities, but it also improves users'
trust in the brand's product.
"Device security has never been more important, with connected
devices being used all around us from intelligent buildings to
smart homes and smart cities," said David
Maidment, senior director, market development, Arm.
"Building security in from the ground up is crucial and Tuya has
proven their commitment to security through this PSA Certified
accreditation, ensuring the next generation of Matter devices are
built on secure foundations."
Reliable Interconnection by Applying Security
Compliance
Tuya Protects Matter Device Development
Procedure
As a board member of the Alliance and an early participant of
Matter, Tuya has the deep market expertise and vast practical
accumulation in security due to its ongoing commitment to IoT
development. Tuya released its full-stack solutions for Matter in
addition to offering security modules, increasing security
levels in the process of Matter device development.
While Thread and Wi-Fi have the potential of offering secure
connectivity and access on their own, Tuya's full-stack solutions
for Matter, for instance, support the development of Matter over
Thread or Matter over Wi-Fi devices, enabling Matter on top of the
Thread or Wi-Fi layer to enhance the security performance of the
Matter device accordingly, through their underlying features and
security functions.
Moreover, developers have to submit the product details and pass
the Matter product compliance certification after successfully
developing Matter devices. To complete such a procedure, the
developer must either buy a Device Attestation Certificate ("DAC")
from a certificate issuer recognized by the Alliance or create
their own certificate infrastructure and secure an Alliance
license. Obtaining such authorization from the Alliance takes a
significant amount of resources. Tuya has now successfully obtained
the Alliance-approved PAA qualification and finished the
development of Matter PKI, which is capable of providing developers
with high-volume DAC issuance while ensuring the security of the
issuance process via hardware encryption machines.
On one hand, The DAC can be obtained quickly and securely
through Tuya's Authentication Transfer Program for developers
developing Matter products based on Tuya's solutions, with no
changes in hardware and software, and with the same device type and
functionality as the Tuya-enabled one that passed the Alliances'
certification. This not only saves investment, but also shortens
the development cycle and quickly pushes the products to market. On
the other hand, end-users can trace the certificate chain of the
device's DAC certificate to determine whether the Matter device in
their hands came from the manufacturer listed on the device's
packaging, quickly identify counterfeit products, avoid uncertified
devices entering the user's network, causing problems in
information security and other areas, and significantly improve the
security level of Matter device management.
Furthermore, the OTA firmware software that the developer used
for remote upgrading must be verified and encrypted during the
maintenance and updating process, and if the software update is not
certified and is not listed in the list of known manufacturers and
compatible software, it will not be allowed to update to ensure the
security of device maintenance and update.
Customers can benefit from the triple security protection of the
Enabling Chip, module, the Matter Security Specification, and
the Tuya Security Specification with Tuya's full-stack solutions
for Matter, including security check, security defense, and
auditing of external services such as OTA upgrading. The solution
innovatively integrates information security and compliance
components into software development and management to
comprehensively ensure the quality and security level of software,
hardware, products, and services, guaranteeing that the customer's
Matter devices have the technical strength and brand power worthy
of users' trust.
Win-Win Cooperation for Ecosystem Prosperity
Tuya
Teams Up with Partners to Accelerate Matter Iteration
The global number of IoT-connected devices is expected to reach
51.9 billion by 2025, and 95% of the world's enterprises use both
public and private clouds, which all need to be secured.
Achieving PSA Certified Level 1 for the TS24-U is just one of
the numerous benefits that Tuya and its partners are providing to
developers globally. As the demand for a higher quality of living
experience and smart home product technology matures, more brand
manufacturers, OEMs, and other customers will begin to work on
Matter device development. Tuya's solutions for Matter not only
provide technical support to ensure the security of Matter devices
and assists customers in building branded Matter devices that are
interconnected with the ecosystems of Amazon, Google, Apple, and
others, but it also provides solutions that allow Tuya to
collaborate with customers to rapidly build a branded Matter device
product matrix in a multi-dimensional manner, further building its
own branded Matter ecosystem.
With the ongoing efforts of Tuya and many other companies,
Matter will be widely utilized in the smart home industry and
continue to be iterated and updated, opening up more cross-brand
and cross-ecosystem chances for global developers.
