As an established leader in IoT security and a key player in the Matter ecosystem, Kudelski IoT is proud to announce expanded security services for developers who want to incorporate Matter Casting into their apps. Leveraging our history in pay television encryption and digital rights management (DRM), along with our expertise in content watermarking and anti-piracy services, and our status as a trusted Matter provider, we’re offering comprehensive solutions that help developers integrate Matter Casting securely and efficiently. In this post, we’ll explore the benefits of Matter Casting and how Kudelski IoT can help you get certified and integrate it into your media applications.

What is Matter Casting?

Matter Casting is an integral feature of the Matter protocol, a unifying smart home standard designed to create seamless communication between devices from different manufacturers. Matter, backed by major players like Google, Amazon, and Apple, allows devices across platforms and ecosystems to communicate, interact, and work together securely.

Matter Casting focuses on media streaming within this ecosystem. It enables users to cast audio, video, or other media from one Matter-compatible device (like a smartphone or tablet) to another (like a speaker or smart display). Unlike proprietary casting solutions, Matter Casting ensures that this process is secure, efficient, and works across different device brands, enhancing interoperability and user convenience.

Key Benefits of Matter Casting for Developers

Integrating Matter Casting into your app offers a host of benefits that cater to both developers and users:

  1. Interoperability: With Matter Casting, you are no longer confined to a single manufacturer’s ecosystem. Media can be cast between devices from different brands, offering a seamless experience for users who have a variety of smart home devices.
  2. Enhanced User Experience: Casting media content is becoming a cornerstone of smart home experiences. Matter Casting allows users to stream content with ease, improving engagement with your app and enhancing overall satisfaction.
  3. Future-Proofing: Matter is designed to be the standard for the future of smart homes. By adopting Matter Casting now, you ensure your app is ready for the evolving landscape of smart home technology, keeping your offering relevant and cutting-edge.
  4. Security at its Core: One of the strongest points of Matter, including Matter Casting, is its robust security model. Using Device Attestation Certificates (DACs) and Operational Certificates (OpCerts), the protocol ensures that only authenticated, certified devices can participate in casting, protecting users and their data.
