| ACL | Access Control List. This is a list of entries in the Access Control cluster that grant access privileges to device and groups |
| adoc | The filename suffix for asciidoc, which is the markup language we use to write the specification and test plans. [asciidoc](https://asciidoc.org/) |
| Alliance | Refers to the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) |
| asciidoc | Markup language we use to write the specification and test plans. [asciidoc](https://asciidoc.org/) |
| Causeway | Site used to store documents and calendars and track group memberships etc. [https://groups.csa-iot.org/](https://groups.csa-iot.org/) |
| CASE | Certificate Authenticated Session Establishment. This is the session establishment mechanism used during normal Matter operations |
| CD | Certification declaration - this declaration is provided by devices to prove they have passed certification |
| CHIP | Matter used to be called CHIP (connected home over IP) before it got its current name. Much of the SDK still uses that prefix. |
| CSA | Connectivity standards alliance - the umbrella organization for Matter |
| CSG | Certification subgroup [CSG](https://groups.csa-iot.org/wg/matter-csg/workgroup) |
| DAC | Device attestation certificates. See [Attestation](https://handbook.buildwithmatter.com/howitworks/attestation/) |
| DM | Data Model. The data model describes the organization of data within a cluster. DM is sometimes also used to refer to the DMTT. |
| DMTT | Data Model Tiger Team. |
| DNS-SD | Domain name service (DNS) service discovery. This is the mechanism used to locate Matter devices on the IP network |
| DRLC | Demand Load Response Control |
| EVSE | Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment |
| ICAC | Intermediate Certificate Authority Certificate See [Operational Credentials](https://handbook.buildwithmatter.com/howitworks/fabric/) |
| ICD | Intermittently Connected Devices. These device can sleep for relatively long periods and will be unreachable over Matter during these times. |
| mDNS | Multicast DNS - the mechanism used to perform DNS-SD over Wi-Fi |
| MPSG | Marketing and product subgroup [MPSG](https://groups.csa-iot.org/wg/matter-mpsg/workgroup) |
| NOC | Node operational certificate. See [Operational Credentials](https://handbook.buildwithmatter.com/howitworks/fabric/) |
| NOSCR | Node Operational Certificate Signing Request. See [Attestation](https://handbook.buildwithmatter.com/howitworks/attestation/) |
| PAA | Product attestation authority. Root certificate for device attestation. See [Attestation](https://handbook.buildwithmatter.com/howitworks/attestation/) |
| PAI | Product attestation intermediate - Intermediate certificate for device attestation. See [Attestation](https://handbook.buildwithmatter.com/howitworks/attestation/) |
| PASE | Password Authenticated Session Establishment. This is the session establishment mechanism used to commission devices. |
| PICS | Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement. PICS are also used to determine testing requirements for certification |
| PID | Product identifier |
| PIXIT | Protocol Implementation eXtra Information for Testing. These are configuration values provided to certification tests. |
| RCAC | Root Certificate Authority Certificate. See [Operational Credentials](https://handbook.buildwithmatter.com/howitworks/fabric/) |
| SDK | Software development kit - a software package implementing the specification [github] (https://github.com/project-chip/connectedhomeip) |
| spec | Short for specification. [github] (https://github.com/CHIP-Specifications/connectedhomeip-spec) |
| SRP | Service Registration Protocol. This is the mechanism used to register thread devices for DNS-SD. Border routers implement this protocol to allow Thread device discovery. |
| SVE | Specification validation event - this follows the test events and acts as the final check on the certification package for a release. |
| SWTT | [Software development tiger team](https://groups.csa-iot.org/wg/matter-tsg-swd/workgroup). This is the group of people working on the SDK. |
| TE | Test event. These events are held during development to verify that test script and SDK development are on track. |
| TSG | Technical subgroup [TSG](https://groups.csa-iot.org/wg/matter-tsg/workgroup) |
| TT | Tiger team - a small group focused on one activity or feature. |
| VID | Vendor identifier |
