GlobalPlatform
GlobalPlatform10 is a cross-industry, nonprofit association that identifies, develops, and publishes specifications which facilitate the secure and interoperable deployment and management of multiple embedded applications on secure chip technology. Its proven technical specifications are regarded as the international industry standard for building a trusted end-to-end solution that serves multiple actors and supports several business models.
GlobalPlatform applies the term secure chip in reference to embedded technologies used in various chips — such as smart cards, application processors, SD cards, USB tokens, and secure elements — for protecting assets (data, keys, and applications) from physical or software attacks.
The freely available specifications provide the foundation for market convergence and innovative new cross-sector partnerships. The technology has been adopted globally across finance, mobile/telecom, government, healthcare, retail, and transit sectors. GlobalPlatform also supports an open compliance program ecosystem to ensure the long-term interoperability of secure-chip technology.
As a member-driven association with cross-market representation from all world continents, GlobalPlatform membership is open to any organization operating within this landscape. Its 60+ members contribute to technical committees and market-led task forces. GlobalPlatform's strategy is defined and prioritized by a member-elected Board of Directors.
