GlobalPlatform and the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) have formed a joint work group that will collaborate on mobile device industry standards.
According to GlobalPlatform, the work group will focus primarily on security topics, including the TCG Trusted Platform Module Mobile (TPM Mobile), a security component for mobile devices that secures root secrets and immutable data, and GlobalPlatform’s Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), a secure area that resides in the main processor of a smart phone and ensures that sensitive data is stored, processed and protected in a secure environment.
The partners aim to complete phase one analysis of their respective technologies, which will identify areas for future collaboration, in the first quarter of 2013. Member companies that participate in both industry associations will be eligible to contribute to the work group.
