Today, Google sees the Titan M and other Secure Elements as key to new innovations such as digital passports and identity cards for Android phones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, Google founded the Android Ready SE Alliance, a coalition of SE vendors and device manufacturers that wants to accelerate the adoption of these features in Android. The goal is to create a collection of open source and ready-to-use applets for SE chips. StrongBox, a tool for storing cryptographic keys, became the first applet launched by the group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the future, the coalition wants to focus on use cases such as digital car keys and mobile driving licenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, see Engadget&#8217;s &lt;a href=&#8221;https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/google-android-ready-se-alliance-204241463.html&#8221; data-type=&#8221;URL&#8221; data-id=&#8221;https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/google-android-ready-se-alliance-204241463.html&#8221;&gt;original story&lt;\/a&gt;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As of 2018, all Google Pixel phones feature a Titan M chip known as the SE or Secure Element.
