This session provides an analysis on the latest trends of IoT and the experiences of Chinese and foreign MNOs in the development of IoT in the pursuit of a differentiation breakthrough. China Telecom's major moves towards IoT will also be covered.

eSIM has gained increasing attention in recent years, especially from the IoT and consumer electronics industries in the Chinese market. The attitude of the entire industry chain transformed from one of wait-and-see at the beginning to practical trial and application. This session will focus on eSIM technology, its standardization process in China and worldwide, application scenarios and the actual situation, and discuss the latest developments in potential testing techniques.

In May of 2016, smartphone shipments in China amounted to 50.17 million, up 13.2% year on year, with 117 new models, down 25.5% year on year. From January to May, smartphone shipments in China amounted to 209 million, up 5.3% year on year, with 625 new models, down 5.3% year on year.

Fingerprint sensor and other biometric technologies for mobile application authentication bring about new user experience and security, but biometric data caused new privacy issues. This legal white paper by PwC summed up major privacy issues related to biometric data applied to various arenas. This paper compared the difference in privacy between terminals and servers, which helps you make a more thoughtful decision on biometrics. What can be learnt from this paper: ☆ Critical privacy issues to be considered in processing biometric information; ☆ Main privacy issues that need to be solved in processing biometric information in practice in the EU, Switzerland, Canada, US and Asia-pacific Area; ☆ Main difference in privacy between terminals and servers when it comes to matching biometric information.

The spread of fingerprint payments have made TEE a standard part of smart phones, but phone manufacturers, TEE providers and payment service providers still do not have a clear conception of TEE's business model. TEE is a basic security technology, but business modeling only from the technical perspective obviously cannot meet the expectations of the industry chain. The key value of TEE lies in that as a security infrastructure, it can provide security services for almost all kinds of mobile Internet applications. Therefore, finding a solution to the question of how to allow more mobile Internet applications use TEE is a major task for us, with security management as its core issue. Only when TEE can manage security well, will it drive more mobile Apps to use TEE on mobile terminals. TEE ensures the security and independence of mobile Apps by enabling Apps to run in an isolated environment, leading to controllable action and trusted results.
