NEW
YORK, Aug. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Tuya
Smart (NYSE: TUYA, HKEX: 2391), a global IoT developer service
provider, announced that the Tuya Matter PAA keygen created in May
has successfully passed both the Connectivity Standards Alliance
("the Alliance") and independent MA groups' reviews in July. This
makes Tuya one of the few businesses in the world to offer both
Full-stack Solutions for Matter and Matter Non-VID Scoped PAA
certificates that are recognized by the Alliance. This also means
that Tuya can assist the ecosystem's more than 782,000 global
developers in completing the Matter device security certification
more quickly, easily, and affordably.
It's important to note that the Tuya Matter PAA was created as
an Alliance Authorized Certificate Authority under the direction of
the Matter PKI Certificate Policy, which guarantees full compliance
with Matter's security standards for PAAs.
Matter is well-known to have strict standards for development,
testing, and mass production of devices. In terms of device
security, Matter standards mandate that before devices can be sold
to the public, all Matter devices must have a Device Attestation
Certificate (DAC) provided by a reputable PAA. This is a difficult
task for IoT companies and traditional industrial organizations
aiming to transform and improve through IoT, as the process is
costly and requires handling by technical experts.
The Alliance guarantees a unique DAC for each qualified device
through a roadmap from PAA to Product Attestation Intermediate
(PAI) to DAC. The PAA comes in two varieties, VID-Scoped PAA, and
Non VID-Scoped PAA.
Device manufacturers, brand owners, and other developers can
decide whether to apply to become PAAs and have their certificates
issued through the VID-Scoped PAA, or whether to work directly with
a Non-VID-Scoped PAA company to complete the certification of their
products.
However, for developers, the criteria for applying to become a
PAA is high—any company running a PAA must be a member of, or a
sufficient contributor to, the Alliance in good standing. On the
other hand, obtaining a DAC requires a significant investment of
time, manpower, and money, and is difficult to manage. Since the
certification process can be slow or stalled, one might miss market
opportunities during the process.
With the authorization as Non-VID-Scoped PAA, Tuya was able to
circumvent the restriction that the VID-Scoped PAA can only sign
PAI for one specific VID, which allows Tuya to sign PAI for any
Vendor Identification (VID) obtained from the Alliance. Meanwhile,
Tuya smoothly incorporates the process of PAA's issuing of DACs
into Tuya's Full-stack Solutions for Matter based on its extensive
experience of Matter application and IoT capabilities. When
choosing Tuya to finish the development of Matter devices,
developers need only to provide the VID applied from the Alliance.
Then, they can complete the DAC authentication of their devices in
real time during the development. Developers will not need to apply
for PAA or even understand the specifics of PAA operation to enjoy
the same smooth development experience of traditional smart
devices.
Three Benefits to Lowering Developers' Entry Barriers to the
Matter Ecosystem
There are numerous benefits of using the PAA certification
service supported by Tuya for Matter device development.
Firstly, Tuya can assist developers in managing and controlling
the certification process, while also lowering the cost of Matter
device certification. According to the Alliance's official
certification procedure, in order to certify a Matter product, a
business must first pay at least U.S $7,000 as an annual Alliance membership fee. The
laboratory testing charge for a product ranges from U.S.
$7,000 to U.S. $10,000, and the certificate application fee
ranges from U.S. $2,000 to U.S.
$3,000, in addition to the membership
fee.
Developers can avoid tedious testing procedures and application
fees by using Tuya's Matter product certificate to complete a
transfer of the certification. They only have to pay for the
transfer of certification of individual products and product
listing fees instead of extensive annual fees and application fees.
Additionally, developers can simply obtain low-cost and manageable
device certification under their own brand, increasing consumer
awareness of the manufacturer's brand and products.
Secondly, Tuya can speed up market listing for products, and
secure DAC issuance for large-scale devices in various categories.
Tuya has successfully developed Matter PKI (Public Key
Infrastructure), which has the capacity to offer developers
large-scale DAC issuance, based on the PAA authorized by the
Alliance. Tuya will support developers to complete the
authentication of an enormous number of DAC certificates in a wide
range of categories required by IoT devices, which will speed the
process of large-scale product listing and sales to gain market
share. Tuya can quickly complete the issuance of certificates for
large-scale devices of multiple categories, and ensure the security
of the issuance process through Hardware Security Machines,
supporting the safe and secure issuance of DAC for developers'
large-scale devices.
Finally, Tuya offers full lifecycle management of PAA
certification, freeing developers to concentrate on the development
of innovative devices. Developers will generate key pairs locally
prior to applying for DAC and PAI through Tuya by sending a CSR
(Certificate Signing Request) to the Tuya Cloud. In order to finish
the issuance and writing of DAC, Tuya Cloud will first identify the
production request for the Matter device, after which it will issue
DAC to the device using the private key of PAI. The device will
then burn and write PAI and DAC information into the device.
With Tuya, developers can implement a smart whole life cycle
management of device certification, from certificate issuing to
writing, increasing the speed and accuracy of certificate issuance
and ensuring the security of certificate management. Developers can
easily track the certificate issuance status, and cooperate with
Tuya to promote the commercialization process of Matter
devices.
Tuya's Full-stack Solutions for Matter Promote the Common Use
of Matter and Form a Better Ecosystem Cycle
Generally speaking, Tuya has increased its capacity to provide
Full-stack Solutions for Matter with the authorization of
Non-VID-Scoped PAA. When creating their own branded Matter devices,
developers can not only quickly and easily obtain device DACs, but
they can also complete the entire process of developing Matter
devices—from development to certification to market launch—using
Tuya's Full-stack Solutions for Matter. This enables developers to
seize market opportunities with low cost and high efficiency.
In terms of product categories, Tuya has obtained official
certification for over 100 devices across four major categories:
electricity, lighting, gateway, and sensors. Tuya's hardware
solutions cover a number of smart home categories, including light
bulbs, strip lights, switches, gateways, plug-ins, and sensors.
Tuya also currently has the largest number of Matter-certified
products in the Chinese market, which can satisfy the diversified
equipment needs of developers.
In terms of development capabilities, Tuya can assist developers
in achieving autonomous and controllable Matter device development,
giving developers more individualized options, including color
temperature control for lighting products, scene mode settings,
music, timing, and many other functions for various devices. And it
can also help developers all-round to differentiate products,
enhance brand power and market influence.
In addition, in realizing cross-protocol, cross-ecosystem
interoperability, Tuya has introduced an exclusive gateway
development framework that supports Matter bridging, which helps
developers' non-Matter devices to convert into Matter-enabled
devices to achieve seamless interaction with Matter devices. Tuya
has also actively deepened its cooperation with ecosystem partners,
such as Amazon, Google, Apple and Samsung, for instance, Tuya works
closely with Amazon Alexa and carried out solutions that support
Amazon's MSS (Matter Simple Setup) technology. This particular
solution can enable end-users to automatically identify Matter
devices via Amazon Echo alone, without the need for an App or
scanning codes.
Tuya, as a global IoT developer service platform, has used its
experience and IoT strength in products, technology, and markets to
solve the problems rising from long development chains,
inconsistent standards, and stricter security compliance, to
continue to bring more efficient, differentiated, autonomous, and
controllable development experiences to global developers. Tuya
will continue to serve developers in the future with more
comprehensive and dependable Full-stack Solutions for Matter, to
promote the wider application of Matter, and to aid the healthy
development of the Matter ecosystem.
