Every connected device deserves a verified identity
Industries / IoT & Device Manufacturers
Device manufacturers face trust challenges at every layer
Matter certification requires DAC and PAI certificates
Mandatory for Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa compatibility
Cloned and counterfeit devices undermine brand
Without cryptographic identity, counterfeits appear on networks
Firmware updates must be authenticated
Unsigned firmware enables supply chain attacks
Device provisioning at scale requires automated PKI
Millions of devices need automated, API-driven certificate management
Network access must be restricted
Industrial IoT needs machine-level authentication
