Specification Standardizes Management of Trusted Execution Environments and Trusted Applications

January 2017 by GlobalPlatform

GlobalPlatform has published a framework
which details how trusted applications hosted on a GlobalPlatform compliant Trusted
Execution Environment (TEE) can be remotely and dynamically managed. The framework
is applicable to any type of device including mobile and IoT devices and will be
used by service providers, TEE implementers, device makers, trusted application
providers and trusted application managers.

The GlobalPlatform TEE Management Framework
(TMF) defines standard methods to manage the lifecycle of the TEE once it is active. In order to support
the variety of usage of the TEE in today’s digital world, the document has been
defined to support the management of TEEs and trusted applications in deployment
models which include: one or many actors; connected or unconnected devices; and
one-to-one or one-to-many devices, as well as with symmetric and asymmetric
cryptography.

Gil Bernabeu, GlobalPlatform’s Technical Director, comments: "This framework is a
key part of GlobalPlatform’s TEE Specification offering. This document integrates
the lessons learned from trusted application deployment required to achieve a
real-world insight into the use of GlobalPlatform TEE Specifications. It enables TEE
users to install, update and personalize trusted applications on a TEE, providing
clear and practical direction into the management requirements of trusted
applications. This standardization brings significant value to those providing
trusted services on connected devices."

GlobalPlatform TEE Specifications were first released in 2013. The management
functionality has been defined to complement the existing GlobalPlatform TEE
Specifications, enabling the deployment of trusted applications that are using the
various GlobalPlatform TEE API. As a next step, GlobalPlatform will define specific
vertical TMF-related configurations to guide implementers and users of certain
devices.
