Thank you to everyone who made it to the Fall Meetings in Vienna last month. It was great to be joined by familiar faces and to welcome some of our newest members. For those of you unable to attend, we had a busy and exciting few days including a Joint Task Force Meeting for IoT, which included presentations on home automation, mobile identity and IoT from the perspective of the MNO, and a Wearables Workshop with special use case presentations from Tag Heuer and the United States Department of Defense.
The Security Task Force was also joined by renowned cryptographer Dr. Joan Daemen, winner of the Levchin Prize for Real World Cryptography, for a presentation on SHA-3, its extensions and its applicability to GlobalPlatform. And finally, we videotaped the All Member Plenary Session to capture last year’s accomplishments and next year’s committee and task force priorities. These videos will be made available on the member website soon.
We have also confirmed the dates for our Spring All-Member Meetings: April 16-202018 in San Diego, California. Further details will be announced early next year.

Thank you to our voting members who took part in the 2018 GlobalPlatform Board election!
With five board seats open in the closely contested election, we have now announced the individuals who have been elected to serve a two-year term. The aim of the Board is to drive the association’s vision to create collaborative and open ecosystems in which stakeholders can effectively deliver secure digital services and devices, and we are confident that the new Board of Directors will continue to work hard to make this a reality.
New Specification: Open Firmware Loader for Tamper Resistant Elements (OFL)
This new specification standardizes how secure element (SE) firmware can be remotely loaded and managed onto a SE such as a SIM, embedded SE or eUICC / eSIM, or integrated SE - even after a device has been issued.
This is the first document that has been released through our new Fast Track Process and we would like to thank members for their contributions to the specification and its public release. You can learn more about the specification here.
