GlobalPlatform is a cross industry, not-for-profit association which identifies, develops and publishes specifications which facilitate the secure and interoperable deployment and management of multiple embedded applications on secure chip technology. Its proven technical specifications are regarded as the international industry standard for building a trusted end-to-end solution which serves multiple actors and supports several business models.

GlobalPlatform applies the term 'secure chip' in reference to embedded technologies used in various chips – such as smart cards, application processors, SD cards, USB tokens and secure elements – for protecting assets (data, keys and applications) from physical or software attacks.

As GlobalPlatform Specifications are widely deployed across the global finance, mobile/telecom, government, healthcare, retail and transit sectors by many public and private bodies, the association's technology provides the foundation for market convergence and supports innovative new cross-sector partnerships.
