(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Amsterdam, October 17, 2016 - Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the world
leader in digital security, announced that it is collaborating with Alibaba
Group's YunOS to provide connectivity and security for YunOS - developed by
Alibaba Group, it is a cloud-based, data and services oriented Internet of
Things (IoT) operating system, widely integrated into IoT devices, as well as
chips and sensors across industries. In this partnership, Gemalto provides its
Allynis Trusted Service Hub that allows easy provisioning of security sensitive
applications throughout the identity lifecycle management.
Security is a paramount component in IoT devices as it provides the peace of
mind for YunOS customers, such as drivers of connected cars, and users of smart
home appliances and mobile devices. This alliance extends YunOS' vision of a
uniform identity framework for disparate IoT applications.
Although the IoT market is still in its infancy, it is widely expected to gain
tremendous traction in the next few years. According to Gartner, by 2020, there
will be 20.8 billion[1] IoT devices in use, generating a US$3.49 trillion
market. The YunOS had acquired 70 million smartphone users and over 100 million
smart terminals by May this year.
"The YunOS is not merely about connecting things, it connecting everything by
credible perception, reliable connectivity, and efficient circulation of
services," said Zhang ChunHui, Alibaba OS Business Group President. "By being a
one-stop IoT security solutions provider and a long-time trusted partner,
