NXP Semiconductors has announced the availability of its Secure Service Development Platform (SSDP), developed to facilitate the rapid introduction of applications that utilise its NFC and embedded Secure Element (eSE) module, the PN66T. The platform provides a turnkey approach for the loader service on the PN66T, enabling a faster time-to-market for secure mobile applications. Secure NFC applications can now be realised quickly and easily, reducing design effort and resources while maintaining quality levels expected in a commercially available mobile or wearable device.

The SSDP is a set of hardware tools and software blocks that enable application developers to quickly start building apps that leverage the eSE in the PN66T. With the platform, developers are able to test and validate their secure applications on a commercial phone. As well as providing real-world phone solutions, the development platform also contains example industry use-cases from companies such as Hyatt, 7Eleven and TransportKiosk. The SSDP can be used to create many different applications ranging from secure banking, transit, access control, authentication and automotive.

“The SSDP supports partners wanting to create new secure applications by removing the technical challenges they face in getting credentials on to the secure element in phones and wearable devices. Now, instead of taking months, new applications can be created and validated in a matter of weeks,” said Jeff Miles, Vice President, Business Development, NXP Semiconductors. “The SSDP will streamline the process for the development community therefore enabling phone and wearable technology manufacturers to bring these new apps to market faster.”
