New Custom Part Manufacturing Service (CPMS)
and Device Attestation Certificates (DAC) Injection Streamline
Security Implementation for Matter-Certified IoT Devices
AUSTIN,
Texas, Oct. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Silicon Labs
(NASDAQ: SLAB), a leader in secure, intelligent wireless
technology, in partnership with Kudelski IoT, a division of the
Kudelski Group (SIX: KUD.S) and a global leader in digital security
and IoT solutions, today announced a new solution to
accelerate the time to market for Matter-certified IoT devices. The
collaboration integrates Kudelski IoT's Matter Device Attestation
Certificates (DAC) into Silicon Labs' Custom Part Manufacturing
Service (CPMS), enabling device makers to build Zero Trust security
from the foundry to customers' doorsteps, which ultimately saves
time and costs.
The Zero Trust approach, with its "never trust, always verify"
principle and continuous authentication, is fundamental to Matter,
a unifying, IP-based connectivity protocol. Matter mandates unique
device authentication certificates using Public Key Infrastructure
(PKI) for robust security. While this framework significantly
enhances IoT device protection, it also introduces new complexities
for manufacturers, particularly in securely obtaining and
transferring certificates from Certificate Authorities to
production facilities.
By combining Silicon Labs' secure, economical, and trusted
manufacturing capabilities with Kudelski's certified Matter PKI
service, IoT manufacturers can now have Matter DACs securely
injected during production, streamlining the path to Matter volume
manufacturing.
"The Matter volume production doesn't have to be a complex
hurdle," said Rohit Ravichandran,
product manager for security and services at Silicon Labs. "Our
first-of-its-kind secure provisioning service, along with Kudelski
IoT's expertise and PKI services, will enable manufacturers to
focus on innovation without compromising on security."
The integrated CPMS and DAC injection service provides several
key benefits:
- Secure injection of signed DACs at Silicon Labs-designated
factories
- Simplified key management and reduced manufacturing
complexity
- Accelerated time-to-market for Matter-certified products
- Enhanced protection against counterfeiting and
overproduction
"Kudelski IoT's Matter Product Attestation Certificate Service
does the heavy lifting for you, allowing you to join the Matter
ecosystem easily," said Chrystophe Clément, principal architect at
Kudelski IoT. "We're excited to partner with Silicon Labs to scale
Matter adoption and reduce the burdens for manufacturers."
Silicon Labs Matter DAC injection is available now for Silicon
Labs' MG24 wireless SoCs and modules with Secure Vault technology.
After completing product development and obtaining Matter
certification through the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA),
manufacturers can easily place orders through the Silicon Labs CPMS
web portal. Silicon Labs will then ship sample parts within 4-6
weeks for testing and validation, after which volume orders can be
placed.
