Abstract
Matter, is a smart-home connectivity standard developed by the Connectivity Standards Alliance with Apple, Google, Amazon, and Samsung along with over 26o other vendors. It promises secure, interoperable IoT communication. This study examines Matter’s architecture—including its IPv6-based transport, Thread and Wi-Fi integration, device attestation, and certificate-based onboarding—and its interaction with existing ecosystems. The presentation critically assesses Matter’s end-to-end encryption, trust fabrics, and privacy mechanisms By analyzing these technical foundations, we explore Matter’s security and privacy claims.
