CommScope and STMicroelectronics team up to make Matter certificate management for IoT devices safe and easy

【Lansheng Technology News】STMicroelectronics recently released a solution that integrates CommScope’s PKIWorks™ IoT security platform with the popular STMicroelectronics STM32WB microcontroller, providing equipment manufacturers with a CSA-compliant connection standard alliance Matter security standard IoT device development turnkey solution.

This solution can simplify the development and management of Secure Matter device certificates during the product manufacturing process, and can also save production costs and time for IoT device manufacturers. With this integration solution, the device's MCU can automatically configure the network without developer intervention. The partnership leverages CommScope’s Sentry™ team’s 35 years of experience in securely integrating keys and digital certificates in volume production environments, as well as STMicroelectronics’ market-leading microcontrollers and development ecosystem.

Nathalie Vallespin, STM32 Connectivity Product Line Manager at STMicroelectronics, said: "As an advocate of the CSA Connectivity Standards Alliance, ST is committed to making it smooth for all device manufacturers to develop Matter devices. ST is a top-ranked general-purpose microcontroller manufacturer, and in the security unit We have profound technical accumulation in the field, a deep understanding of the technical challenges faced by equipment manufacturers, and a rich background in Matter equipment development. Based on these advantages, we have reached such a unique cooperation project with CommScope to provide customers with simple and safe certificates. Manage the process and accelerate the application of Matter devices.”

Bart Giordano, president of CommScope's Network, Smart Cellular and Security Solutions Division, said: "By integrating CommScope's Sentry PKIWorks platform with the popular ST MCU platform, we provide customers with a turnkey solution for Matter device development to reduce the difficulty of Matter application , while solving development complexity, production scale and cost issues. CommScope and ST have a long-term cooperative relationship. The two industry pioneers have decades of R&D experience and technology accumulation in the fields of digital security, semiconductor solutions and equipment manufacturing, and can Helping customers easily meet the growing demand for new Matter IoT devices."
