As you may remember, the Trusted Computing Group published the Mobile Trusted Module, or MTM, specification during the iX-Conference 2007 in Singapore. Since then there has not been much visible action outside of TCG, but inside the organization, the “engine” never stopped. In fact, “under the hood” the engine has been running at full speed. TCG’s Mobile Phone Work Group has been processing the facts and feedback regarding the MTM specification. We have been been planning how compliance of the different MTM implementations can be ensured and how the different conformance approaches can be practically accomplished.

Additionally, the Mobile Phone Work Group is completing practical work to test the MTM specification. You may remember the MTM open source implementation which was published last year. About a week ago, the Mobile Phone Work Group published our newest achievements in area of MTM specification analysis with selected use cases. This work has been done to ensure we understand how MTM can be utilized in practice. To access these documents, please visit our Mobile Phone Work Group specification page by clicking here. There you can see how MTM can enable security in practice for mobile applications.

A next step for the MTM is that it will be available for many new mobile applications, many of which have been waiting for standardized hardware security to be available through multiple platforms around the world. That will finally open a new era in the mobile applications and services industry for handheld devices such as smart phones, mobile phones and PDAs.
