Letter from GlobalPlatform’s Executive Director

Gil and I have just returned from an exciting week in Beijing. We had the opportunity to engage with a number of GP members and potential new members in China to discuss our work on eID, SESIP, emerging isolation technologies, SAM, CRA and more. We look forward to continuing to understand and support the unique security requirements in China.
