Bharat Pi Launches Cutting-Edge IoT Development Board for Matter Smart Home Applications Equipped with SEALSQ VaultIC292 Secure Element

Geneva, Switzerland – September 16, 2024:   SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES) ("SEALSQ" or "Company"), a company that focuses on developing and selling Semiconductors, PKI and Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, together with Bharat Pi, a leading Internet of Things (IoT) hardware design house, today announced a strategic collaboration to release a new IoT development board, integrating SEALSQ's VaultIC292 chip pre-provisioned with Matter compliant certificates. This groundbreaking partnership aims to set a new standard for quick prototyping with security for the fast-growing smart home and Industrial IoT segments.

The new IoT board, already under consideration for several Proof-of-Concept (PoC) projects, is engineered for integration into IoT devices that require support for the Matter protocol. Matter is an industry-unifying standard designed to enable seamless, secure connectivity across IoT devices in both home and industrial applications. By incorporating SEALSQ's VaultIC292 secure element, the board offers cutting-edge protection for sensitive data while ensuring device integrity, fully aligning with Matter's stringent security requirements.

Additionally, SEALSQ’s chip comes pre-loaded with cryptographic keys and a Matter Device Attestation Certificate (DAC), generated through SEALSQ’s INeS PKI-as-a-Service Solution. Customers also benefit from the option to have their DAC signed by their own Product Attestation Intermediate (PAI), providing greater flexibility and control over their security infrastructure.

The new IoT board will offer users the following benefits:   

1. Rapid Prototyping and Reduced Time-to-Market: Enables quick design, development and implementation of Matter compliant products across home appliances and industrial applications.
2. Advanced Security: VaultIC292 provides robust cryptographic functionalities, including secure key storage, encryption, and authentication, safeguarding data transmission and device integrity against potential cyber threats, fully compliant with Matter security requirements.
3. Interoperability: The Matter protocol ensures compatibility with a wide range of IoT devices, enhancing user experience by enabling seamless integration and communication between different manufacturers' products like Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomePod.
4. Scalability: Supports scalable deployment, making it ideal for converting prototypes into production as well as integrating the same board into various applications, from smart homes to industrial IoT solutions.
5. Ease of Use: With a developer-friendly interface and comprehensive support, the Matter board simplifies the integration process for IoT developers, accelerating time-to-market for innovative solutions.
