cc2538 smart energy profile

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2538

hi,

this is sujin, I am using cc2538 devices for my smart energy meter project, Ti user guide are suggested to install certicom key for smart energy profile, my question is  why we should go for such certification? also why this certification is not needed for home automation profile?

thanks,

regards,

sujin

  • Hi,

    ECC libraries are needed if you want to make your device compliant to the security levels mandated in Smart Energy Profile. ZigBee Alliance mandates the use of security at APS level for Smart Energy profile and key derivation mechanism is also mandated, which is a certificate based scheme. Certicom has been identified as the provider of the libraries as well as the certificates for Smart Energy implementations.

    No it is not necessary to have it in Home Automation.

    Thanks,
