_Security certification supports and accelerates deployment of secure services on connected devices_

Trustonic has become the first vendor globally to achieve Common Criteria security certification for a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE)\* device security product. The certification of [Trustonic’sKinibi TEE](https://www.trustonic.com/solutions/trusted-secured-platform) paves the way for mass market delivery of trusted services on connected devices.

Common Criteria certification, which has been performed in line with the GlobalPlatform TEE Protection Profile\*\*, gives device manufacturers confidence that Trustonic’s TEE product meets an industry-defined security baseline. Service providers – [across markets](https://www.financedigest.com/tea-pitchers-market-sales-will-witness-stellar-revenue-growth-across-top-regional-pockets.html "Tea Pitchers Market Sales Will Witness Stellar Revenue Growth Across Top Regional Pockets") including financial services, enterprise, government, internet of things (IoT) and premium content creation – can also be confident that their trusted applications are protected from attacks.

Trustonic’s product has also achieved compliance to GlobalPlatform’s latest functional specifications which incorporates the latest feedback from live implementations.

Already [embedded in more than one billion devices](https://www.trustonic.com/news/company/adoption-trustonic-security-platforms-passes-1-billion-device-milestone/), the Trustonic TEE offers hardware protection in the form of a secure operating system which is completely isolated from the device operating system. This makes it, and trusted applications residing in it, immune to all software threats resident on the device and enables advanced device security, such as [biometric authentication](https://www.financedigest.com/the-future-of-biometric-authentication-in-financial-services.html "The future of biometric authentication in financial services") and secure PIN entry. The Root of Trust also [ensures that a trusted identity is preserved](https://www.financedigest.com/france-demands-twitter-ensure-it-can-preserve-safe-environment.html "France demands Twitter ensure it can preserve ‘safe environment’") within the device, preventing fraudulent use or copying.

“Life is increasingly digital,” comments George Kanuck, SVP of [Global Sales & Marketing](https://www.financedigest.com/increase-in-sales-of-human-insulin-market-to-scale-revenue-growth-in-the-global-market.html "Increase in Sales of Human Insulin Market to Scale Revenue Growth in the Global Market") at Trustonic. “With more connected devices and sensitive [digital services](https://www.financedigest.com/financial-services-need-a-digital-transformation.html "Financial services need a digital transformation") than ever before, the attack surface for hackers is growing. Smartphones are currently the biggest target, but as connectivity extends to more household appliances, wearables, cars and even [hospital equipment the threat grows](https://www.financedigest.com/the-acute-care-hospital-beds-and-stretchers-market-to-virtually-grow-beyond-geographies.html "The Acute Care Hospital Beds And Stretchers Market to virtually grow beyond geographies"). This is why [security must](https://www.financedigest.com/as-saas-grows-financial-services-must-rethink-their-security-approach.html "As SaaS grows, financial services must rethink their security approach") not be an afterthought. [Manufacturers need to ensure the integrity](https://www.financedigest.com/the-next-upcoming-years-to-see-the-oral-solid-dosage-contract-manufacturing-market-integrating-constructive-innovation.html "The Next Upcoming Years To See The Oral Solid Dosage Contract Manufacturing Market Integrating Constructive Innovation") of their devices and service providers want assurances that their apps and data are protected. This is where the TEE comes into its own.”

**Continued commitment to compliance**

[Trustonic’sKinibi TEE](https://www.trustonic.com/solutions/trusted-secured-platform) has also been qualified to the latest version of GlobalPlatform’s TEE Initial Configuration v1.1. The document describes implementation requirements for features of the GlobalPlatform Device Specification. The scope has been extended to support both Android and Linux environments, and new deployment use cases like IoT.

**Maturity for the** [mass market](https://www.financedigest.com/renault-considers-making-mass-market-evs-in-india-sources.html "Renault considers making mass-market EVs in India -sources")

“These accomplishments demonstrate the maturity of the Trustonic TEE and our commitment to making this flexible [device security technology available to the mass market](https://www.financedigest.com/the-medical-device-technologies-market-to-stick-around-based-on-organic-expansion.html "The Medical Device Technologies Market to stick around based on organic expansion"). It is never easy to be the first to go through an approval process but certification [brings assurances that our technology can be trusted by device manufacturers](https://www.financedigest.com/rio-tinto-inks-deal-to-bring-iron-ore-rail-car-manufacturing-to-pilbara.html "Rio Tinto inks deal to bring iron ore rail car manufacturing to Pilbara"), service providers and consumers,” adds George.

Trustonic’s TEE is the only open TEE available. Uniquely, it permits third-party applications to be provisioned after the handset or device has been deployed, which opens up vast commercial opportunities for both device manufacturers and [digital service](https://www.financedigest.com/how-digital-identity-verification-will-revolutionize-security-defenses-in-the-financial-services-industry.html "How Digital Identity Verification Will Revolutionize Security Defenses in the Financial Services Industry") providers.

Separately, Kinibi has already been successfully certified to execute some host card emulation (HCE) payment solutions from various international payment schemes. To find out more about the Trustonic TEE, visit the [website](https://www.trustonic.com) and blog.
