We are now making final preparations for our Spring meetings, taking place 16 – 20 April in San Diego. The week will kick off with the Joint Task Force Meeting and a discussion on home automation, which will be led by the Consumer IoT Task Force. We welcome your contributions on home automation trends and challenges, including security, privacy and device enrollment. Please send your proposals directly to me at kevin_gillick@globalplatform.org.

Greater need to mitigate security threats in an interconnected world
A critical challenge in today’s connected world is ensuring that security services are compatible across the numerous different types of devices that are used to access financial services.
I spoke to The Asian Banker about the steps GlobalPlatform is taking to secure the Internet of Things, and why device identity and secure authentication is the key to mitigating risk in financial services.
Read MoreNew Specification Releases
This maintenance release corrects issues in the previous version while maintaining full backwards compatibility. It also removes the deprecated Secure Channel Protocol '01' and deprecates the DES based Secure Channel Protocol '02'.
Download HereThis new configuration defines the minimum implementation requirements of the GlobalPlatform Card Specification for Secure Elements (SE) supporting Financial Services. The SE may be implemented in a card or any other form factor and come with a contact interface, a contactless interface or both. The document defines 4 sub-configurations with different feature sets.
Download HereThis document defines an extension of the GlobalPlatform Card Specification aiming at changing the traditional Card Content Management model by extending it to broadcast deployment and management of Java-Card-based services hosted on a Secure Element through a set of new standardized card administration commands. It also extends and refines the GlobalPlatform delegation model through the use of certificates.
Download HereSpecifications Under Review
This version of Amendment F adds a new variant for Secure Channel Protocol '11'. It is named SCP11c and uses ephemeral keys only on the off-card side. This mechanism allows off-line creation of card management scripts. In addition, the usage of the same key pairs and certificates for groups of cards enables such scripts to be processed by the whole group.
The document is now available for public review.
