In this blog, Dr. Beatrice Peirani, Chair of the GlobalPlatform Crypto Sub-Task Force, shares key takeaways from GlobalPlatform’s member-only TechTalks series on Post-Quantum Cryptography.

As the European Commission and its eIDAS expert group drive new regulation on European Digital Identity (EUDI) wallets, the requirement to have one common, secure, interoperable and standardised solution for all EU citizens is now a key priority. However, there are still difficulties for the 27 EU member states to overcome and considerations to make if their digital identity schemes are to be accepted and implemented throughout Europe, as Jean-Da...

GlobalPlatform, the standard for secure digital services and devices, and Winbond Electronics Corporation, a supplier of semiconductor memory solutions, will host a free-to-attend ‘Certified Trust’ seminar on Wednesday, November 30th at the Sheraton Taipei Hotel in Taipei City, Taiwan.

GlobalPlatform, the standard for secure digital services and devices, has released a whitepaper highlighting the potentially confusing implementation of security levels in the EU Cybersecurity Certification Scheme (EUCC) proposed by the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) as part of the Cyber Security Act (CSA).

GlobalPlatform has certified its Secure Element (SE) Protection Profile (PP) with the international standard for computer security certification, Common Criteria (CC). The document is the latest update to GlobalPlatform’s Security Certification Program. It will make it quicker and easier for stakeholders across industries to validate and compare security features, protect applications and data against high-profile attacks and comply with ev...

GlobalPlatform and RISC-V International have announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU). Collaboration between the two organisations will help accelerate the development of open standards for the hardware design of embedded components in connected devices for the Internet of Things (IoT).

GlobalPlatform has announced it will help device makers and certification bodies adopt the SESIP methodology (Security Evaluation Standard for IoT Platforms). This work will bring consistency and trust to the IoT device security certification process, reducing complexity, costs and time to market for IoT stakeholders.

GlobalPlatform, the standard for secure digital services and devices, alongside prime sponsor Oracle and supporting sponsors STMicroelectronics and Able Device, is hosting a free IoT technical workshop in Nuremberg on Thursday February 27th, 2020. The full day workshop will educate delegates on the value of Secure Elements (SEs) to secure and enrich the deployment of internet of things (IoT) devices.

  GlobalPlatform has announced the launch of IoTopia, a comprehensive framework for IoT security. Building on GlobalPlatform’s previous work to secure the IoT, IoTopia proposes a common framework for standardising the design, certification, deployment and management of IoT devices.

In our brave, new, connected world, we’re witnessing a seismic shift in the role that devices are playing across all aspects of life. The explosion of the internet of things (IoT) means that today billions of devices can be connected to the internet and communicate sensitive data and information.  By Gil Bernabeu, Technical Director, GlobalPlatform

As the line between mobile devices and computers becomes increasingly blurred, security architectures from two previously separate worlds are also converging. GlobalPlatform’s secure components, the Secure Element (SE) and Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), are becoming de facto in mobile devices and the Trusted Computing Group’s (TCG) Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is widely deployed across the computing ecosystem. 

A specification which standardises the digital format of Letters of Approval issued from certification bodies and standardises how they can be retrieved has been released by GlobalPlatform. This clarity will simplify the process for validating the functional compliance and security certification status of a secure component product or of an application.
