Hi Hannes,
I guess that depends on what you define as the actual topic, right?

>From my watchtower it is the fact that there are only three vendors
of mobile operating systems and these give you quite limited access
to core parts through "Apps" which means that if interoperability is
to be achieved standard are necessary.

This differs greatly from the previous situation where anybody could
deploy their proprietary DLLs and EXEs and thus be "Windows compatible".

There is to my knowledge no SDO who have taken on secure key storage and
provisioning.  In TCG (which I'm a member of), secure key storage is on
the menu but the provisioning has been left to vendors to cater for.

I doubt that any of the vendors in question are prepared discussing this
topic in a public forum.  Are you actually even allowed to do that?

The Google wallet (as an example...), is in spite of all the hype not
publicly described.  One of the reasons is that the NXP-chip is NDA-
protected.  Since this is the case with most security hardware, I was
essentially forced switching to Open Security Hardware for my project.

Cheers,
Anders
