`GLOBALPLATFORM LEADS THE WAY TO CROSS-
`INDUSTRY STANDARDIZATION WITH OPEN PLATFORM
`VERSION 2.1
`Multiple application smart card organization delivers on the promise of
`global technology specications.
`
`Las Vegas, 16 May 2001 — GlobalPlatform announces changes to the Open Platform specications
`that provide organizations issuing multiple application cards with enhanced exibility, improved
`security, and greater ubiquity. These changes are offered in the Open Platform Card Specication
`version 2.1 (see summary of functionality attached to this release), available to the public for royalty-
`free licensing from 4 June 2001. This major milestone for GlobalPlatform establishes the rst cross-
`industry specication intended to standardize the technology infrastructure for multiple application
`smart cards across operating systems.
`
`Open Platform version 2.1 is the culmination of a more than a year’s effort by GlobalPlatform to dene
`new functional requirements and technical specications. This initiative included the participation of
`approximately twenty Member organizations and incorporates new technology contributed by six

`services and telecommunications industries stress the need to signicantly simplify personalization
`systems and service bureau tasks, thereby improving card and application issuance throughput.
`These critical control-processes are considered core competencies of the Open Platform Card
`Specications.
`
`Technology contributions were received from Microsoft, Proton World and Visa International, among
`others. These contributions reect best practices learned from implementation experience or the
`ability to extend Open Platform into new environments. For example, a contribution from Proton World
`enables ownership of an application installed by one party to be transferred to a second party.
`Likewise, a new provision submitted by Visa streamlines personalization into a standardized formula
`that dramatically reduces costs to key smart card stakeholders.
`
`Marc Kekicheff, Technical Director of GlobalPlatform says, “Open Platform version 2.1 represents a
`signicant collaboration of the best and brightest in the multiple application smart card industry.
`Version 2.1 contains the functionality and features that card and application issuers have requested
`to make issuance processes more effective. When considering the 3500-plus global licensees and
`worldwide momentum in Open Platform implementations, we expect the ‘drumbeat of demands’ to
`only quicken. I feel more certain than ever that Open Platform is the right solution to control and
`manage multiple-application smart card programs.”
`
`“We are beginning to deliver on the promise we made to the smart card industry eighteen months ago
`when GlobalPlatform was formed,” says Steve Brown, Chair of the GlobalPlatform Board of Directors.
`“Version 2.1 of the Card Specication is a critical component in GlobalPlatform’s complete technology
`vision, which includes cards, devices and enabling systems. The GlobalPlatform Board is equally
`encouraged by the progress being made in our other technical Committees and expects to continue to
`deliver greater standardization for the benet of the smart card industry.”
`
`GlobalPlatform has instituted a specication management process, in which a major release of each
`specication is completed every eighteen-to-twenty-four months. Minor releases are published mid-
`cycle on an as-needed basis. The publication cycle is designed to ensure stability yet allow exibility
`as business demands.

`GlobalPlatform is the only cross-industry forum focused on the development, management and
`promotion of specications for multiple application smart cards, smart card applications, and
`enabling devices. With support from its global member organizations, GlobalPlatform promotes a
`standard framework facilitating the implementation of smart card programs in any industry around
`the world. GlobalPlatform allows exibility in the choice of technologies and vendors through an
`emphasis on open standards for cards, terminals and support infrastructure.

`
`OPEN PLATFORM VERSION 2.1
`SUMMARY OF NEW FUNCTIONALITY
`
`Some of the new functionality of version 2.1 of Open Platform providing utility to the smart card
`industry include:
`
`1. Personalization — Generically, personalization is the process during which a smart card is modied
`to contain the information for one person. The new provision of version 2.1 establishes a common
`way of dening personalization for everyone in the smart card industry to adopt. It provides a
`consistent process for all applications, all cards, and all environments (pre-issuance or post-
`issuance). This feature reduces the impact of any personalization process change for any application
`or any card, resulting in less time and cost for issuers, personalization bureaus, application loaders
`and card vendors. The major contributor of this feature was Visa International.
`
`2. Restructured Card Manager — This gives issuers the ability to select the security policy and
`communication protocol for each card. The separation of the basic on-card application code
`management and the security policy choices reveals a powerful architecture that enables issuers to
`customize their cards according to their own business and security requirements. The major
`contributor for this feature was Proton World.
`
`3. Windows® API — an API which integrates Open Platform with the Windows® Powered Smart
`Card™ operating system. This provision expands the use of Open Platform to the Windows
`environment. The major contributor of this feature was Microsoft.

`4. Expedited Personalization — the ability to install, load and personalize multiple applications in one
`single secure communications session. The on-card Open Platform support for loading code existing

`card. Eciency is increased for issuers, personalization bureaus, application loaders, application
`developers, and card vendors. The major contributor for this feature was Visa International.
`
`NEWS
`
`
`
`5. Common Framework — a common identication process previously completed in collaboration
`with MAOSCO to enable smart card systems to identify the on-card technology before completing the
`platform-specic command. This solution will help to streamline critical processes in smart card
`lifecycle management including personalization and post-issuance maintenance. This eliminates
`another barrier to global, cross industry adoption and implementation of smart card technology.
`
`6. Extradition — a mechanism that allows the dynamic on-card re-allocation of applications to
`different or new business partners. Applications can be loaded and installed under the authority of
`one entity and then transferred to another entity at a later stage. This allows, for example, a trusted
`party such as a service bureau, to load, install and personalize several applications on the card pre-
`issue, and then re-distribute the applications to their business owners later. Another feature is the
`ability to install multiple applications on the card from the same generic application code (e.g. loyalty,
`access control) and then distribute them to different separate business entities later. The major
`contributor for this feature was Proton World.
`
`7. Compatibility — backward compatibility with the previous version, Open Platform 2.0. Applications
`developed for release 2.0 or 2.0.1 of the Open Platform Card Specication will also run on cards
`utilizing release 2.1. This ensures cost savings in development, as Application Developers do not need
`to reprogram existing applications for new cards.
