WISeKey SEALSQ Launches Trusted Matter Security/Certificate Services for IoT Devices
March 30 2023 - 9:17AM
Geneva, Switzerland – March 30, 2023: WISeKey
International Holding Ltd. (“WISeKey”) (SIX: WIHN, NASDAQ: WKEY), a
leading global cybersecurity, AI and IoT company, announced today
that it will start providing its Security Services and
Semiconductors to IoT device manufacturers adopting Matter
Protocol, the leading standard for smart home devices from the
Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA). WISeKey’s Root Certificate
Authority (CA) has been approved by the CSA for Matter device
attestation and becomes a Product Attestation Authority (PAA).
SEALSQ Corp (“SEALSQ”) (www.sealsq.com),
WISeKey’s wholly owned subsidiary will enable companies to quickly
and easily get access to Device Attestation Certificates (DACs).
The service is provided by INeS, the managed “PKI as a Service”
platform without the necessity to invest and to deploy any hardware
infrastructure. Each manufacturer using the platform can manage the
security lifecycle of certificates and devices in their own
dedicated, cloud-based application. SEALSQ will also be offering
its complete range of FIPS Certified Secure Elements with
pre-provisioning of keys and DACs ready for authentication under
Matter Protocol.
This strong value proposition will enable smart
home device manufacturers to achieve faster time to market through
cost effective and simplified design processes when designing
Matter compliant smart home products.
“We are pleased that WISeKey will provide its
expertise to deliver manufacturers with Matter device attestation,”
said Chris LaPre, Head of Technology at the Connectivity Standards
Alliance. “WISeKey is an expert at designing, governing and
managing large PKI ecosystems to ensure DAC supporting millions of
connected devices and will continue to work closely with the
Alliance to shape the security in the IoT space.”
“The unique combination of SEALSQ’s on-chip or
cloud-based provisioning services with the Matter Root-of-Trust PAA
will help our customers save time and money in achieving Matter
security compliance,” said Bernard Vian, General Manager of WISeKey
Semiconductors.
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:
- Accelerate time to market in achieving Matter compliance.
- Save money by avoiding the costs of
technology, maintenance, staffing and ongoing compliance.
- Enjoy flexible deployment options, including on-premises,
hosted or batch issuance.
- Simplify management of device attestation certificates and
product attestation intermediates through SEALSQ INeS CMS Platform
for IoT.
- Gain efficiencies 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.
About SEALSQ
SEALSQ is a wholly owned subsidiary of the
WISeKey Group that focuses on developing and selling
Semiconductors, PKI and Post-Quantum technology hardware and
software products. Our Post-Quantum solutions include Post-Quantum
microchips and devices that can be used in a variety of
applications, from Multi-Factor Authentication devices, Home
Automation, and IT Network Infrastructure, to Automotive,
Industrial Automation and Control Systems.
Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) refers to
cryptographic methods that are secure against an attack by a
quantum computer. As quantum computers become more powerful, they
may be able to break many of the cryptographic methods that are
currently used to protect sensitive information, such as RSA and
Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). PQC aims to develop new
cryptographic methods that are secure against quantum attacks. For
