CNLABS, in collaboration with the University of New South Wales (UNSW Sydney), has announced a conformance certification framework that is fundamental to securing IoT systems.
The Manufacturers Usage Description Conformance Certification Framework (MUD-CCF), based on IETF RFC 8520, includes a comprehensive test specification and an automated test solution to verify MUD compliance with IoT devices. Enterprises, service providers, and Industrial IoT operators can use MUD-CCF as an essential prerequisite for deploying secure IoT networks.
CNLABS is an independent, vendor-neutral test lab offering industry certifications, regulatory compliance testing, interoperability and third-party certification testing for product vendors, enterprises, and service providers in various domains, including cybersecurity, IPv6 and network virtualization. CNLABS is accredited by NABL (ILAC) and meets the globally recognised ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standard that assures quality and competency of the lab, personnel, and test results.
MUD has been recognised by several forums as a practical standard to reduce the vulnerability of IoT devices to network-based attacks. The National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) from NIST has included it in their guideline NIST SP.1800-15 for securing small businesses. A framework like MUD-CCF provides a lightweight and easily adaptable certification path for IoT device manufacturers, providing the foundation for developing secure IoT (Internet of Things) and IIoT (industrial Internet of Things) solutions.
“Since last year, our partnership with CNLABS to develop secure and reliable connected networks has gained momentum,” Julien Epps, dean of engineering at UNSW Sydney, observed in a media statement. “It’s encouraging to see our efforts leading advancements in IoT cybersecurity through MUD-CCF. We are excited about the future prospects of this collaboration and the positive impact it will continue to have on the industry and our society.”
“CNLABS is proud to announce a robust certification framework with UNSW for securing IoT networks. We are building on this foundational work by developing AI-based adaptive network pods that will significantly enhance security in evolving threat environments,” said Jayaprakash Kumar, CEO of CNLABS.
Technical test requirements based on MUD-CCF have been recommended to ITU-T for standardisation. CNLABS is also working with national standardisation agencies to promote the adoption of MUD-CCF. Researchers led by Dr Hassan Habibi Gharakheili at UNSW School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications have developed a research paper on MUD-CCF (currently under review by IEEE). CNLABS has published a whitepaper on MUD-CCF for industry reference.

pSemi Corporation has announced that it, alongside its parent company Murata, has expanded its role to “Participant” level with The Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA), an international community of more than 675 technology companies committed to open standards for the Internet of Things (IoT). In addition, Peter Bacon, the director of systems engineering at pSemi, was recently appointed to the Zigbee Working Group, a subcommittee of CSA that is dedicated to defining standards for the wireless technology designed for low-power devices that need to communicate with each other over short distances.
CSA’s mission is to create standards, tools and platforms that make all connected devices work together to enhance end users’ day-to-day experiences. Its members, which include LG, Samsung, NXP, and others, work collaboratively to develop IoT technology standards, offer certification programmes and promote the benefits of open, global standards for a wide range of connected technology solutions, including Matter, Aliro, Zigbee, and others.
pSemi’s increased role with CSA aligns with the company’s expanded IoT product offerings as it recently announced the PE562212—its smallest PA-LNA-SW IoT front-end module (FEM). PE562212 is an ultra-compact multi-protocol 2.4 GHz FEM that enables a variety of connectivity options for IoT devices and is designed in adherence to the IEEE 802.15.4 Zigbee requirements to support the CSA-led Matter protocols, an industry framework that focuses on simplifying connected experiences.
“Murata has been a proud member of CSA for more than a decade, and at pSemi, we are thrilled to expand our involvement to ‘Participant’ level this year, particularly as we expand our IoT offerings,” said Bacon. “Our increased participation underscores our commitment to the connectivity market and willingness to collaborate with the entire ecosystem to advance the industry. I look forward to working closely with my peers and colleagues to address some of the most pressing issues the connectivity industry is facing and to play a part in defining standards that will accelerate the adoption of IoT products.”
pSemi will also participate in the upcoming CSA Alliance Member Meeting in Washington, DC on June 25, 2024. For more information about pSemi and its connectivity solutions please visit www.psemi.com. For more information about CSA, its mission and current initiatives, please visit www.csa-iot.org.
