GlobalPlatform’s Card Specification and Contactless Training Sessions Come to London (top)
GlobalPlatform is bringing its Card Specification and Contactless Training Sessions to London on 5-7 June. The aim of the card specification session is to improve industry knowledge of the specifications available from GlobalPlatform, their functions and capabilities, and the business benefits gained from implementing highly specified and standardized technology. The contactless training has been designed to educate participants on the role of GlobalPlatform Specifications in relation to contactless-enabled services on mobile platforms.
If you are interested in registering for the sessions in London, we encourage you to do so as early as possible. These popular courses fill up quickly, and space is strictly limited to 15 students. Find out more and register via the GlobalPlatform website.
Privacy Framework Requirements Document Now Available (top)
The GlobalPlatform Government Task Force has authored a Privacy Framework Requirements document that was released to the GlobalPlatform members in January 2013. This document is now available for the general public to download directly from the GlobalPlatform website. The document discusses the requirements for enhancing GlobalPlatform Card Specifications to support privacy as required by different markets and mandated by various countries. It defines and clarifies the existing terminology used by the industry in relation to privacy, removing all ambiguity.
GlobalPlatform is now undertaking work to determine how to implement the Privacy Framework Requirements within its specifications for platform products. This will enable GlobalPlatform to deliver specifications that, when implemented, will result in privacy-enhanced technology deployments.
In addition to the Privacy Framework Requirements document, we encourage you to read the Privacy Framework Made Simple Guide.
New Document Available for Public Review (top)
The GlobalPlatform Card Technology Card Specification – ISO Framework v0.9.0.15 is available for public review until 10 June.
This document provides a framework for a GlobalPlatform card that is compliant with specifications ISO / IEC 7816-13, ISO / IEC 7816-4 and ISO / IEC 24727-2. It specifies a new application protocol data unit mapping and a new type of security domain, the ISO-SD. The specification also introduces some use case descriptions for the ISO-SD hierarchy and recalls generic rules inherited from GlobalPlatform SSDs that apply to ISO-SDs.
New Documents Available for Member Review (top)
The GlobalPlatform Device Technology TEE TA Debug Specification v0.37, is available for member review until 29 May. This document specifies the GlobalPlatform trusted execution environment (TEE) debug interfaces and protocols.
Also available for member review is the GlobalPlatform Requirements for Embedded SE Interfaces v0.6. Feedback and comments are being accepted until 7 June. The document discusses requirements for facilitating the certification of embedded secure elements (SE) based on GlobalPlatform Card Specifications, with the intent of ensuring better management of the production flow throughout the solution.
Trusted Computing Group White Paper Available for Download (top)
In 2012, GlobalPlatform and the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) created a joint work group to enable the sharing of expertise and collaboration around mobile device security standards. Two key platform security technologies have emerged from the TCG and GlobalPlatform standards initiatives which address the increasing rise of software threats that face smart connected devices.
This white paper introduces how GlobalPlatform trusted execution environment standards and TCG Mobile Trusted Module (TPM MOBILE) can work together in mobile devices to provide security, peace of mind and enhanced services to users. Download the paper from the GlobalPlatform website.
Streamlined Member Communication (top)
GlobalPlatform has taken steps to streamline its member communication. Instead of members receiving emails every day from a particular working group, the new system will consolidate all the emails and simply send them as a single ‘weekly digest’ at the end of every week.
Every user has the option to turn this feature on for each work group that they are engaged in. Members can access the new system via the ‘My Groups’ page of the member website, select ‘My Subscriptions’ and then choose which groups to subscribe to.
Speaker Activity in June (top)
In June, I will be participating in the following panel session at Mobile Commerce World from 24-26 June in San Francisco.
- Securing Transactions– Wednesday, 26 June, 14:00 in the Security / Privacy for Mobile Commerce Track
