GlobalPlatform, has released an amendment to its Card Specification v2.2m, designed to improve the management of multiple contactless applications within a secure element, such as a SIM, secure memory card, or a simple contactless card.
The amendment addresses how end-users can manage contactless services on a secure element, and outlines how the mobile phone interface can be tailored by the card issuer to meet its needs and those of service providers, including the storage of commercial logos to enable simple brand recognition on a mobile phone screen.
The amendment also details how new data can be controlled within a secure environment, such as contactless protocols parameters, logo, application family and end user priority.
Privacy aspects are also detailed within the amendment to ensure that applications are ‘hidden’ on a secure element when deactivated by the user. This protects against an unauthorized rogue element illegally sourcing information about the content stored within a virtual contactless wallet on a mobile device.
With the finalization of the amendment, GlobalPlatform will have completed the first phase of its initiave to “enhance and support” NFC technology.
The amendment can be downloaded at GlobalPlatform’s website.
