CAD Issues

More and more Variety of Devices e.g. User Interface, Communication

Devices are getting more ComplexMultiplication of Development for

Different Types of PlatformsLonger Certification Process

7

GlobalPlatform Device Objectives

Reduce Development and Certification Cost

Preserve Application Software Investments Offer independence from Hardware

providers Enable easy addition of new services to

final customers Facilitate secure remote maintenance in

multi-application environment

GlobalPlatform Device Committee Deliverables

GlobalPlatform Device Framework (GPDF) 2.0For Device Application DevelopmentProvides Application Architecture and

APIsBased on Java technology

Application Installation and Security

9

GlobalPlatform Device Framework

Based on STIP Technology Minimum Java Runtime Definition Basic Programming Pattern Basic Platform Service Definition

e.g. smart card slot API, cryptography API, data storage API

Multi-Application Environment Designed for Secure-based transactions

Application Firewalling Controlled Access to Device Resources

10

Application Portability Full Portability of a Complete Device

Application for Different Types of Devices is impossible! e.g. User Interface or communication means are

too much different Is possible only

Portability of a module of the Application across several Types of Devices (the Invariant)

Horizontal Interoperability GPDF CLC Concept

Portability of the complete application for a given sets of device types

Vertical Interoperability e.g. STIP EFT/POS Profile

11

GPDF Application Architecture

Application split intoPlatform and Environment-independent

moduleKernel of the application with Device AbstractionContains Application Logic, which is Invariant to

the Device and Environment= Core Logic Component (CLC)Portable across all Types of Devices (e.g. GSM

phones, PDAs, EFT/POS terminals, Set-top boxes, …)

Platform and Environment ModuleCustomize the Kernel

to the Device To the Environment (e.g. country, local rules, …)

Mainly for User Interface and Communications
