The intention is to bring data security techniques used in the financial sector to mass-market devices such as smartphones and tablets.

Marc Canel, vice president of security systems, Arm, writes:

"In an internet-connected world, it is imperative to establish trust between all devices and service providers. Operators need to trust devices their systems interact with and OTrP achieves this in a simple way. It brings e-commerce trust architectures together with a high-level protocol that can be easily integrated with any existing platform."
