ETSI SSP I3C Interface

Description

The I3C interface for the communication of an Smart Secure Platform(SSP), as defined in ETSI using the Smart Secure Platform Common Layer (SCL) protocol. The use of the MIPI I3C Basic bus specification provides the ETSI SSP with a multitude of benefits, such as higher data rate, flexible and efficient information exchange, and strong integration of SSP in connected devices. The ETSI SSP is a highly secure, scalable and cost-efficient.
