performance. We are quickly bringing Matter-enabled products to the
market, and we look forward to securely connect the entire smart

full alignment with SEALSQ’s mission to contribute in building a
safer connected world, as described on SEALSQ Device
Attestation for Matter.

maintenance, staffing and ongoing compliance.
- Enjoying more flexible deployment
options, including on-premises, hosted or batch issuance.

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.
