Multiple Stakeholder Model

The Multiple Stakeholder Model (MSM) is an informative reference document that describes use cases, recommended capabilities, and various implementation alternatives to allow multiple stakeholders to coexist safely on a mobile platform.æ This document includes guidance on how to leverage TCG specifications to realize each alternative.æ In particular, this document emphasizes the role of the Trusted Platform Module (TPM), the Mobile Common Profile, and the Mobile Reference Architecture specifications to support these capabilities for multiple stakeholders.æ The goal of the MSM is to provide trusted services, for example, TPM and Trusted Network Communications (TNC), in a secure and efficient manner to all interested stakeholders (both local and remote) for a given mobile device.

This guidance is applicable to all mobile devices (smartphones, feature phones, basic phones, etc.) and may be useful for other computing devices.æ The target audience for this document includes designers, manufacturers, system integrators, application developers, and implementers of Trusted Computing technologies in mobile platforms.
