Register for our Fall Meetings

On November 16-20 GlobalPlatform will be virtually hosting its member Fall Meetings.

The virtual meetings present a fantastic opportunity for members to have their say on GlobalPlatform’s committee and task force priorities for the coming year. We look forward to hosting a range of discussions and learning more about the exciting projects and implementations from our members.

The meetings also represent a good opportunity to reflect on what has been the 20th year for our organization.

GlobalPlatform Releases New Broker Interface Specification

GlobalPlatform has announced the release of a new specification for the Secure Element Broker Interface, which simplifies end user authentication in a range of payments use cases and form factors.

The specification enables service providers to easily develop new solutions which utilize authentication methods available on the device so consumers can rely on a single secure authentication method, rather than remembering multiple PINs or passcodes.
