A New Model: The Consumer-Centric Model and How it Applies to the Mobile Ecosystem

This white paper details GlobalPlatform's vision to create an ecosystem that enables consumers to have ultimate control over which secure applications they want to use on their device. It addresses the current technological trend for a 'consumer centric model' and highlights remaining work envisioned to achieve the standardization and security required to make this concept a reality.

GlobalPlatform uses the white paper to outline its roadmap to support this model and how a verifiable level of security can be delivered for both low and highly-sensitive applications. Key to GlobalPlatform's envisaged work is the need to define an open and scalable infrastructure that encourages the proliferation of supplier agnostic standards- based technology.
