Deploying and Protecting Digital Services with Chains of Trust

Created by GlobalPlatform’s Security Task Force, this business publication explains the importance of designing devices and services with security at the core.

The publication defines Root of Trust (RoT) and Chains of Trust. It goes on to explain how device manufacturers can create a secure Root of Trust with GlobalPlatform technology, which is proven to meet the requirements of service providers and can be utilized by them to serve multiple markets and use cases. This, in turn, enables digital services to be bound to a physical on-device ‘trust anchor’. The presence of this trust anchor makes it cheaper to protect applications than on an insecure device.
