    Hi All,

    The GSMA recently published 4 documents concerning IoT SAFE - SIM Applet For Secure End-to-End Communication.

    Leveraging a hardware secure element, or 'Root of Trust', to establish end-to-end, chip-to-cloud security
    for IoT products and services is a key recommendation of the GSMA IoT Security Guidelines. This requires
    both the provisioning and use of security credentials that are inside a secure place within the device.
    The SIM is best suited to function as the hardware Root of Trust in an IoT device as it has advanced
    security and cryptographic features and is a fully standardized secure element, enabling interoperability
    across different vendors and consistent use by IoT device makers.
    IoT SAFE (IoT SIM Applet For Secure End-to-End Communication) enables IoT device manufacturers
    and IoT service providers to leverage the SIM as a robust, scalable, and standardized hardware Root of
    Trust to protect IoT data communications.
