Smartlink+ vs PSIA Experience

Smartlink+ puts your security system in the palm of your hand. Arm and disarm, view live camera feeds, control locks and lights, adjust your thermostat, and review system activity — all from one app. Monitor your property with real-time video, get notified when events happen, and manage every connected device from a single interface. Customize alerts by sensor and device, switch between multiple properties without signing out, and control your system from your Apple Watch.

This open standard protocol called the "Public Key Open Credential" (PKOC) can be implemented on mobile devices, on to smart cards or any device capable of generating a public & private key pair. The Secure Credential Interoperability (SCI) is similar to Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), except that there is no infrastructure needed and the Public Key generated from the device is your credential. Options exist for 3 data flows that include Normal, Obfuscated, and Elliptical-curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDHE) providing ease of use to high-privacy methods. The PKOC protocol is not dependent on any communication method and can be supported on BLE, NFC, UWB or other communication methods. Please see the Physical Security Interoperability Alliance Organization for more details related to PKOC and the Physical Access Control Interoperability (PLAI) standards https://psialliance.org/all-about-plai/
