Letter from GlobalPlatform’s Executive Director

Thanks to everyone who joined us for our Spring Meetings in San Diego - we were pleased to see so many members actively participating in our discussions.

The week began on Monday with a Joint Task Force meeting, including presentations on the Wearables Requirements Document, IoT payments using FitPay, drone security and trust, the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) Security Framework, oneM2M open source projects, GlobalPlatform’s IoT Compact SE Configuration and a report on the finalization of the Secure Media Path Protection Profile (SMP-PP) Requirements Document.

Tuesday was another full day, starting with an IoT workshop featuring presentations on the ENISA initiative, entity attestation, Root of Trust (RoT) perspective from the Trusted Computing Group, PKI for IoT devices, IoT cloud, and using manufacturer usage descriptions (MUDs) to help manage billions of ‘things’. Later, the Security Task Force further explored RoT and secure boot, blockchain, Common Criteria and an update from the Crypto Sub-Task Force.

The remainder of the week was dedicated to Technical Committee meetings, including gatherings of the recently created Trusted Platform Services (TPS) Committee, and the TEE Committee and associated working groups (Specifications, Labs and Security).

All presentations from the week are now available for review on the member-only website here.

SAVE THE DATE:  A reminder that our Fall Member Meetings will take place in Lisbon from 12-16 November. We look forward to seeing you there!

Important announcement: GlobalPlatform annual seminar returning to Beijing

In our March newsletter we announced that our annual seminar would take place in Shanghai. However, after careful examination of venue options, we concluded it would be best to return to Beijing in 2018.

The ‘Security in our Connected World’Seminar will take place on Wednesday, 19 September at the Sheraton Grand Beijing Dongcheng Hotel. On Thursday, 20 September, we will also host a technical workshop. We will be announcing the agendas for both sessions shortly.

We are also extending the Call-for-Papers deadline to give our members more time to consider their contribution. If you are interested in making a submission please send a brief presentation title and synopsis in English-language only before Friday, 25 May 2018.

New Specification Releases

This specification is to be used by Trusted Application developers relying on biometric recognition for authentication of the user and confirmation of user acceptance. This document defines and specifies the discovery and identification of all biometric capabilities and the use of biometric functionality supported by hardware, entirely protected inside the TEE.

It is available for free download on the member and public website.

This specification defines a low-level interface to a frame buffer and input events, which Trusted Applications can use to create custom user interfaces. The event loop can also be used to retrieve events from other peripherals not related to TUI. Because of this, the event loop will be moved to TEE Internal Core API in v1.2.

It is available for free download on the member and public website.
