Smart keys, which allow you to unlock your door simply by swiping your smartphone or IC card, improve the convenience of your daily life. However, specifications vary between different manufacturers, so you may need to download a special app or carry a specific device or card reader.
To achieve a consistent user experience in the field of smart locks and digital keys, CSA has announced that it is developing an open standard called Aliro. Aliro's goal is to create a global communications protocol and common qualification that will allow any authorized device to unlock smart locks in your home, office, gym, or other location, regardless of the manufacturer of the smartphone or lock. It is about building an information system.
Various companies related to the smart lock field are participating in Aliro, including Apple, Google, Samsung, Qualcomm, Allegion, and ASSA ABLOY. The work itself is said to have started in the second half of 2021 under the name 'Access Control Working Group,' and a spokesperson told the overseas media The Verge that they plan to release the first specifications in early 2025. Masu.
The principles stated by Aliro are as follows.
・Simplicity
Lower implementation barriers by reducing integration complexity and streamlining troubleshooting.
・Flexibility
Supports different types of equipment or architectures and provides easy access to both common and individual entry points.
·safety
Have the foundation to implement cutting-edge, secure and reliable mobile access solutions.
・Interoperability
Standardized communication protocols allow devices and readers, regardless of manufacturer, to work together at the door.
'The point here is to build a solution that is widely adopted and trusted, rather than the current market where there are solutions that are company-specific,' said Nelson Henry, chair of the Aliro working group. In other words, the Aliro badge provides a single point of integration that can be used across multiple vendors and technologies to securely share credentials.'
In addition, among the open standards developed by CSA is the smart home device standard `` Matter '', and many of the participating companies overlap between Matter and Aliro, but each is a different and separate initiative.
'Aliro simply defines the interaction between a user device, such as a smartphone or wearable device, and a digital lock or reader, and that digital lock or reader can then Matter does not specify how connected products communicate with each other in a wide variety of smart home use cases. Matter is not mutually dependent, but complementary.'
