GlobalPlatform™’s Post

Thanks Ana Tavares Lattibeaudiere ! And also thanks to all GlobalPlatform™ great contributors that made it happen. SAM (Secured Applications for Mobile), and CSP (Crypto Service Provider) are two key enablers for the EUDI wallets. With SAM, member states will be able to host their wallet application (the WSCA, or Wallet Secure Cryptographic Application in the Architecture Reference Framework parlance…) on embedded SIMs. With CSP, member states will be able to download their sensitive code and data on a EUCC certified embedded SIM without re-certifying the bundle. SAM and CSP will enable the use of the embedded SIMs increasingly present in smartphones for the EUDI wallet, and ease the security certification of the wallet. Register to the eID Seminar in Brussels to get further insights on both technologies. #globalplatform #eudi #wallet #eudiwallet #security #digitalidentity #sam #csp #gsma #arf #architecturereferenceframework #wsca #wscd #securedapplicationformobile #cryptoserviceprovider #esim #euicc #secureelement

A very interesting 5' read from HID's Luc Merredew, describing the same evolution for access control credentials, as the one that happened in your wallet : from magstripe payment cards to contact, then contactless and now mobile. "Many organizations are looking to leverage mobile devices as a key component of their access control solution, and the ability to use credentials stored on a mobile device’s digital wallet is an intuitive way to bring security and convenience to the leading edge". https://lnkd.in/eYWN8Rfv #mobileaccess #applewallet #accesscontrol #mobilecredentials #SEOS #HID

The implementation of the EUDIW poses significant challenges, particularly concerning security and privacy. While the service is mobile centric and as such must be made available in real-time via app stores, it must also ensure secure storage of the user credentials at the highest level. For secure storage various options exist, however the most viable approach, also mentioned in the regulation, is to use the secure element inside the mobile devices—such as the SIM card, built-in chip, or trusted execution environment—as the secure storage facility. This methodology harmonizes security and user-friendliness when executed effectively. There is one problem however: the necessary conditions for the implementation are missing.

Two factor authentication is a must these days. Two-factor authentication (2FA) is an additional layer of security used to ensure that people trying to gain access to an online account are who they say they are. First, a user will enter their username and a password. Then, instead of immediately gaining access, they will be required to provide another piece of information. This second factor could come from one of the following categories: 1. Something You Have: This might be a physical device like a smartphone, a security token, or a smart card. A common example is receiving a one-time code via SMS or an authentication app (such as Google Authenticator or Authy) that you must enter after your password. 2. Something You Are: This refers to biometric verification, such as a fingerprint scan, facial recognition, or voice recognition.

Smartphones can help you securely log in, tap to pay and enter cars, buildings, and airports. As #security concerns grow, the need for authentication will likely consolidate the smartphone’s status as the ultimate goldilocks device: the right size, power, connectivity and trust. Insights from Deloitte

Digital wallets have surged in popularity for their convenience, enabling users to make seamless purchases with smartphones or smartwatches. But are they safe? These wallets implement security measures like two-factor authentication and unique PINS to protection your financial data. Using encryption technology, digital wallets scramble sensitive information like credit card details which hinder unauthorized access. Not all merchants accept digital wallets, having a credit or debit card handy is advisable. Stay vigilant about security practices and be certain you understand how digital wallets operate to ensure a secure experience. #DigitalWallets #Security #Encryption #Data #Technology

My Number: In Japan, individuals are identified by a 12 digit number called My Number. This system was instituted in 2016 and all citizens are given a number. This is the same as SSN or Social Security Number in the United States. Currently, those who wish to apply are provided with a credit card-sized My Number ID Card on which personal information and identification number are written. The use of this number is aimed at improving the efficiency of government services. Work is underway to incorporate this information into mobile devices. It became available for iPhone in the spring of 2025, and for Android devices in fiscal 2023. Equipped with a smartphone, various procedures can be performed using a smartphone's biometric authentication without having to carry the card. In administrative procedures, it will be possible to perform procedures only with a smartphone. For identity verification when opening an account at a private bank or securities company, it will be possible to perform procedures only with a smartphone without having to take out the card each time. Personally, I am concerned that it may be a good prey for hackers.

It's rare to lose your phone in the UAE. However, this low probability event can have a high impact, making it crucial to protect your financial details. Here are some insights I shared in a recent The National News feature: 1/ Enable Biometric Security → Use Face ID or passcodes on messaging apps to enhance security and prevent unauthorized access. 2/ Use Password Managers → Tools like 1Password or Bitwarden securely store and manage your passwords, reducing risks from storing them in notes or browsers. 3/ Encrypt Sensitive Data → Encrypt important documents and data stored on your phone. Regularly back up your data to a secure cloud service. 4/ Activate Theft Protection Features → iOS users can use Stolen Device Protection, while Android offers automatic protection when your phone is stolen.

What is Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)? Two-factor authentication, often abbreviated as 2FA, is a security process in which a user is required to provide two different authentication factors to gain access to an account. These factors typically fall into one of the following categories: Something You Know: This is typically a password or a PIN. It's information that only the account holder should know. Something You Have: This is usually a physical item, such as a smartphone, a security token, or a smart card. Something You Are: This refers to biometric data, like your fingerprint, retina scan, or facial recognition. #cybersecurityTips #2FAprotection #SecureOnlineAccounts #cyberawareness
