Trusted
Logic adds voice to GlobalPlatform's Device Committee
03 September
2007 - GlobalPlatform has welcomed
Trusted Logic as a permanent and active participant on its Device
Committee, following the company's decision to upgrade its membership
to the international smart card specifications body from Observer to
Participating Member level.
As a provider of secure open software for embedded systems, Trusted
Logic has already developed a number of commercial products which
support GlobalPlatform's specifications for devices and cards. As a
participant on the Device Committee, Trusted Logic will join other
GlobalPlatform Members, contributing its specialist expertise and
technical knowledge to aid in the definition of an open architecture
and software framework for single and multi-application smart card
acceptance devices that enable the rapid development and deployment of
acceptance device applications.
Dominique Bolignano, CEO of Trusted Logic, comments: "Trusted Logic's
security middleware product strategy is based on open technology and
our products already support GlobalPlatform's Specifications. It is
therefore natural for Trusted Logic to become more actively and
directly involved in shaping the Device Specifications for the benefit
of the industry and we look forward to sharing our expertise to aid in
the standardization of open security solutions."
Bob Beer, Chairman of GlobalPlatform and Vice President of Business
Development at DataCard Group, adds: "Trusted Logic has an extensive
understanding of both market and technical requirements with regards to
open device infrastructure and this will be invaluable to the
discussions and activities of GlobalPlatform's Device Committee. As an
organization which is driven by member collaboration, the more
objective participation we can attract on our committees, the stronger
our organization's proposition becomes to the industry and the more our
members - and those choosing to deploy GlobalPlatform technology -
benefit from their engagement with the organization. Trusted Logic has
recognized that being active on GlobalPlatform's committees offers a
real commercial value and as an organization we are happy to welcome
its commitment."
