Summary

Restructured headers, added Node Operational Certificates (NOC) documentation, CRL revocation guidance for Matter 1.2+, and expanded AWS IoT Device Management integration details

Security assessment

Added specific security documentation about certificate revocation (CRL configuration with OmitExtension=true) and Node Operational Certificates for Matter fabric security. These changes directly relate to PKI security implementation requirements for Matter compliance.

+### Node Operational Certificates (NOC)
+
+In addition to device attestation, AWS Private CA supports issuing Node Operational Certificates (NOCs), which are used to secure communication within a Matter fabric. AWS provides Java samples for activating a root CA and subordinate CA for NOCs and creating a NOC.
+
+For more information, see [Using the AWS Private CA API to implement Matter certificates](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/privateca/latest/userguide/API-CBR-intro.html) in the AWS Private Certificate Authority documentation.
+
+### CRL Revocation Support (Matter version 1.2 and later)
+
+Matter version 1.2 introduced Device Attestation Certificate (DAC) revocation using Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs). When enabling CRL revocation for CAs that issue Matter certificates, set `OmitExtension` to `true` in the `CrlConfiguration` object within the `CrlDistributionPointExtensionConfiguration` structure. In Matter, the CRL Distribution Point (CDP) URI is not embedded in certificates but is instead fetched from the Matter Distributed Compliance Ledger (DCL). You must upload the CDP URI to the Matter DCL for discovery during DAC validation.

+## Managed integrations with AWS IoT Device Management
+
+[AWS IoT Device Management](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/iot/latest/developerguide/iot-thing-management.html) includes the managed integrations feature, which provides a unified interface for onboarding and managing diverse IoT devices regardless of connection type (direct, hub-based, or cloud-to-cloud).
+
+The following are key capabilities relevant to Matter:
+
+  * Device SDKs supporting ZigBee, Z-Wave, Matter, and Wi-Fi protocols
+
+  * More than 80 device data model templates based on the AWS implementation of the Matter data model standard
+
+  * Partner-built cloud-to-cloud (C2C) connectors
+
+  * Unified device control across multiple brands and protocols
+
+  * Available in Canada (Central), Europe (Ireland), and Middle East (UAE) regions
+
+
+
