Future Perspective of SG17 (I)ICT security - Cloud computing security – Cybersecurity

SG17’s work on security has had continued and remarkable growth throughout this study period resulting in a centre of excellence – a core competency in security.

Cybersecurity is one of the top priorities of the ITU, it is critical that this centre of security competence in ITU‑T be nurtured and enhanced, and not fragmented.

SG17 pioneered cloud computing security within ITU-T and takes a leading role for cloud computing security.Keep Q.H/17 as competence centre on cloud computing security within SG17 – continue coordinating with SG13 on cloud computing (via JCA-Cloud).

Future Perspective of SG17 (II)ICT security

Information Security Management – Identity Management

The work on security in SG17 (including generic security architecture, mechanisms and management guidelines for heterogeneous networks/systems/services) needs to be continued and there needs to be a lead study group for security to coordinate within the ITU and with other SDOs.

– new emerging security technologies such as cloud computing, smart grid, intelligent transportation systems, Internet-of-Things, IPTV security, IPv6 security, technical measures to protect the personally identifiable information (PII) of citizens as well as technical measures to protect children online all demand new approaches to security and novel security concepts to adequately address the inherent the crucial security threats in those technologies

IdM plays such a critical role in building confidence and security in the use of ICTs, it is essential that this work be integral to the ITU‑T security centre of competence, including being the lead study group for this issue to coordinate within ITU and with other SDOs.


6


Future Perspective of SG17 (III)Questions – Structure – LSG – Projects - JCAs

SG17 proposed 12 Questions for the next study period.All Questions continue with two consolidations:– R/17: Generic technologies to support secure applications

(Continuation of Q11/17, Q12/17, Q15/17 and ODP part of Q13/17) shall remain in SG17.

– S/17: Formal languages for telecommunication software and testing (Continuation of Q14/17 and part of Q13/17). Testing methodologies and JCA-CIT should stay within SG17Q14/17 has close links to the other language Questions and is independent of any particular application domain.Formal languages portion of Q.S/17 should remain in SG17.

Associated with this work should be lead study group responsibilities for Security, Identity management, and Languages and description techniques.Security and ASN.1 & OID Projects as well as JCA-IdM,JCA-COP, and JCA-CIT need to continue given their important contributions.


7


ConclusionParticipation to SG17 has increased during the study period to maintain well above 155 participants.SG17 has successfully transitioned to security as its main focus with a core set of security experts.Within security work, has significantly build-up participation and energy in Identity Management, Cybersecurity and Cloud Computing Security.SG17 has build strong relations with other key bodies working on security and initiated numerous collaborative efforts.SG17 has promoted and disseminated ITU-T security work (e.g., workshops, security manual, security roadmap); its achievements are well recognized.

ASN.1 and OID ProjectThe SG17 ASN.1 & OID project continues to assist:

– Existing users of ASN.1 and object identifiers (OID), within and outside of ITU‑T (e.g., ITU‑T SG 16, ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 27, ISO TC 215, 3GPP, etc.).

– Countries (e.g., Bangladesh, Canada, Islamic Republic of Iran, Liechtenstein, Oman, Republic of Panama, Tunisia, Ukraine, Uruguay), and in particular developing countries, in setting a national registration authority for OIDs.

This project provided speakers and tutorial material, and coordinates the provision of tool support to users and the contents of related websites.In cooperation with the TSB, a database is being maintained that contains a machine-processable copy of the current version of all ASN.1 modules that are included in ITU‑T Recommendations.Database: http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/asn1/database (>800 modules)A handbook on OIDs and their registration authorities was completed and a flyer on OIDs was produced.OID Repository: http://www.oid-info.com (>643000 OIDs).
