Netherlands-based NXP Semiconductors has announced the availability of its Secure Service Development Platform (SSDP), developed to facilitate the rapid introduction of applications that utilize NXP’s NFC and embedded Secure Element (eSE) module. The SSDP provides a turnkey approach for the loader service on the eSE module enabling a faster time-to-market for secure mobile applications.
According to NXP, secure NFC applications can now be realized quickly and easily, reducing design effort and resources while maintaining quality levels expected in a commercially available mobile or wearable device. The SSDP is a set of hardware tools and software blocks that enable application developers to quickly start building apps that leverage the eSE. The SSDP can be used to create many different applications ranging from secure banking, transit, access control, authentication, automotive, and much more, added NXP.
The SSDP supports partners wanting to create new secure applications by removing the technical challenges they face in getting credentials on to the secure element in phones and wearable devices. Now, instead of taking months, new applications can be created and validated in a matter of weeks. The SSDP will streamline the process for the development community therefore enabling phone and wearable technology manufacturers to bring these new apps to market faster.
