Each Question of SG11 has to consider security aspects to develop protocol Recommendations used for network control signalling, based on the general requirements developed by other SGs, such as SG 2, SG 13, SG 17 and SG 19. Q.7/11, entitled as “Signalling and control requirements and protocols to support attachment in NGN environments”, has specific requirements for authentication and authorization of users and terminals.

Security consideration has been incorporated within the text for each Question of SG11. Various security arrangements are embedded within the protocols defined at various reference points, by reusing existing mechanisms defined by other organization (e.g., IETF and 3GPP). Strengthen the coordination on security issues across SGs, as well as among Questions within SG 11 by proposing a dedicated new Question on security coordination for the next study period.

SG 11 – Challenges for secure protocols
Design interface protocols which have various security mechanisms based on Recommendations / specifications developed by SG 17 and other SDOs. Special attention should be drawn to the interface between legacy telephone networks and emerging NGN. It would also be necessary to guide actual protocol implementations so that there will be no security holes, for example, by defining implementers’ guides.

SG 11 – Recent accomplishments
24 Recommendations and 6 Supplements have been approved so far, regarding NGN protocols with security mechanisms embedded. The following two Recommendations have been approved at the January 2008 SG11 meeting in Q.7/11 in Network attachment control protocol work: Q.3201, “EAP-based security signalling protocol architecture.” Note - EAP: Extensible Authentication Protocol Q , “Authentication protocols for interworking among 3GPP, WiMax and WLAN in NGN.”

Q.1762/Y.2802 “Fixed-mobile convergence general requirements” Notes need for uniform authorization mechanism FMC may contain access-specific or -dependent parts but the procedure for handling these is uniform Q.1763 “FMC service using legacy PSTN or ISDN as the fixed access network for mobile network users” Authentication through a fixed network access provides for same security mechanism as in the mobile network Refers to 3GPP TS / ETSI TS which address UMTS 3G security and security architecture

SG 19 – Major security accomplishments (3)
Working Draft Q.FMC-IMS “Fixed mobile convergence with a common IMS session control domain” as of 14 May 2008 Mobile access in mobile networks faces an increased level of security threats compared to stationary access in fixed networks Nomadic and wireless access in fixed networks utilize the mobile world security framework (TS ) for IMS access, with the IMS Subscriber Identity Module (ISIM) as a key component References IMS security (3GPP TR ) and authentication mechanisms (ETSI TS )

F/19 : Convergence of existing and evolving IMT and fixed networks FMC cannot be studied in isolation Has to take into account the ongoing work on NGN scenarios, services, architecture, mobility, security and QoS, and on mobile network technologies outside of ITU-T Study of specific FMC scenarios and solutions requires a solid understanding of mobile network technologies and close liaison with mobile network SDOs

SG 19 – Specific actions member organizations of GSC should take
Aim for globally consistent end-user security support Identify FMC security requirements for uniform authentication and authorization mechanisms (i.e., authentication and authorization combined) Network specific requirements for T-SPID
