• DigiCert and Panasonic simplify Matter certification.
• Real-time security integration speeds up production.
• Faster market launch with built-in compliance.

DigiCert has officially partnered with Panasonic Industry Europe to add DigiCert® Device Trust Manager to the Panasonic PAN-MaX intelligent manufacturing service. This collaboration will allow Matter certification to be integrated seamlessly into the production of smart home devices, which helps manufacturers get secure compliant devices to market more quickly and efficiently.

The partnership comes at a time when smart home device manufacturers are feeling tremendous pressure to quickly adapt to the rapidly changing market and to provide for increasing security, compliance, and interoperability along the way.

With the global smart home device market projected to surge from a staggering $147.52 billion in 2025 to $633.20 billion by 2032, manufacturers need as much efficiency and ease in the manufacturing process as possible, starting with quality manufacturing strategies that build in corporate level security from the get-go!

Historically, integrating considerations around device certificate issuance and product security has been cumbersome in its process and usually delayed until the latter part of production—and typically too late to be useful.

But with this partnership, secure and compliant devices can be realized, without significant manual work, in real-time at the time of device issuance of device attestation certificates (DACs). The DACs are designed to applied encryption, device identity and device authentication at the time of production.

With Matter-ready wireless modules and the compliance attached to them, manufacturers will be able to provide valuable security during the manufacturing process. Tooling up with this level of integration not only reduces the time-to-market with new compliant devices but also ensures the product meets the latest standards, reducing risk exposure as a result and increasing peace of mind for consumers using smart home technologies.

"DigiCert is a key contributor to Matter and one of the few trusted authorities that can issue Matter device attestation certificates. Through our partnership with Panasonic Industry Europe, customers can now request certificates instantly through a fully automated system, eliminating extra steps and streamlining security. The process helps manufacturers focus on innovation, ensuring that security and Matter certification accelerate business rather than slow it down", said Kevin Hilscher, Senior Director, Product Management at DigiCert.

"The smart home revolution requires a foundation of trust to thrive. Panasonic Industry Europe and DigiCert are setting a new standard for trust, where smart home devices aren’t just connected, but secure and certified from the moment they’re built. By combining Panasonic’s innovative PAN-MaX certification service with DigiCert’s industry-leading attestation services, we’re making sure manufacturers have an effortless path to Matter certification without trading speed for security", added Chetan Joshi, Lead Product Manager at Panasonic Industry Europe.
