Trusted Logic’s Trusted Foundations™ first to incorporate the latest GlobalPlatform TEE Specification
February 2011 by Marc Jacob
Trusted Logic announced that its secure-environment product is the first to align with the latest TEE specification from GlobalPlatform, the standardization body. By incorporating the requirements of this standard, Trusted Foundations™ becomes an open platform based on standard interfaces, making it easier for third parties to develop applications.
GlobalPlatform’s “Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) Client Application Programming Interface (API) Specification” defines a standard that makes it easier to use secure environments within the various smartphone operating systems. Trusted Foundations provides an isolated environment to secure sensitive applications on the mobile device itself, and is already widely deployed on Android™ and Symbian smartphones from major handset manufacturers. It fulfils the security level required for premium content protection (digital rights management), corporate applications on smartphones, and mobile financial services.
Trusted Foundations’ unique Trusted User Interface brings a further level of security by protecting against malicious applications, and prompting end users when they can enter sensitive information. This is critical for security-demanding applications such as mobile financial services.
