28 May ~ 2 June, 2006 Hyoungjun KIM TTA/ETRI SOURCE: TTA TITLE: Standardization topics on network based RFID services and Cooperation for harmonized standards development AGENDA ITEM: Joint 4.7 CONTACT: Hyoungjun KIM, ETRI, khj@etri.re.kr GSC11_JOINT_26 Standardization topics on network based RFID services and Cooperation for harmonized standards development 28 May ~ 2 June, 2006 Hyoungjun KIM TTA/ETRI GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications

GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications Proposal Some added and revised texts are proposed to be included in the RFID HIS resolution of the GSC-11 meeting. GSC-11 recognized: There are many new standardization topics on networked B2B, B2C and B2B2C RFID applications; and A focus group is taken into account at ITU-T to create a common work place for all RFID matters. GSC-11 considered: Close cooperation with SDOs is required due to different and limited work scopes. GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications

GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications Proposal GSC-11 resolved: To encourage harmonized standards development; and To make a formal procedure of ITU-T with PSOs and SDOs to set up close cooperation for and develop harmonized and globally compatible RFID-related standards.

GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications RFID developed in B2B GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications

GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications RFID evolved in B2C GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications

New challenges in B2C RFID Existing RFID-related standards cover only B2B RFID. Characteristics of B2B and B2C B2C B2B Goal Content distribution Work flow automation Service user Human Business logic Service terminal Cell phones PDA, PC, POS, etc. Contents information, voice, music, game, video, etc. Contents for the five senses of human Business-related Information Network Expensive wireless network based Low cost wire network based User property Dynamic Static GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications

Standardization topics (1/6) Rationale: new service requirements require more standards and some extensions. Service requirements analysis Existing ARP (Application Requirements Profile) is for B2B applications. B2C and B2B2C have different requirements. Reader, tag and smartcard integration B2C terminal needs reader, tag and smartcard features all together. Application data protocol extension ISO/IEC 15961 might need some extensions to support tag-based B2C RFID applications. GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications

Standardization topics (2/6) ID code identification A variety of code schemes and even private codes exist. How to distinguish them and how to process a code need to be defined. ID code representation A processed ID code is just a bit string. How to denote ID needs to be defined. Ex.: 1.2.3, 1:2:3, 123, etc. Ex.: 0xCF.0x8E.0x83.0xEB, 0317.0216.0203.0353, 3482223595, etc. GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications

Standardization topics (3/6) ID code naming “1.2.3.4” is IPv4 address or ID? Name is much better than numeric code. A unique name is needed. (ex. urn:ip:v4:1.2.3.4) Application data encoding ISO/IEC 15961 & 15962 provides a framework of tag data encoding. EPCglobal provides its tag data format. But, application user data encoding is not specified yet. One-code, multi-uses requirement A single code must be associated with a single physical object and multiple logical objects.

Standardization topics (4/6) Code resolution protocol A resolution infrastructure needs to be established. Candidate protocols: DNS, IRIS, X.500, LDAP, etc. ENUM extension, in case of using DNS, “e.164.arpa” is a special domain for E.164 resolution into a URI. Another special domain will be helpful for a code resolution into a URI. Directory interoperability There may be many different directory infra. (ex. EPC directory via ONS, Japan’s UID directory, IRIS directory, Korea’s ODS directory, etc.) Directory interoperability needs to be considered. GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications

Standardization topics (5/6) Reader management protocol JTC 1/SC 31 and EPCglobal are working on this, but focusing on B2B-purposes readers. B2C models have different requirements for B2C-purposes reader systems. Service gateway architecture Service broker may be exploited for B2C to give subscribers value-added services. Architecture and relevant protocols need to be considered. GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications

Standardization topics (6/6) Password acquisition protocol kill and lock features require a proper password. Privacy control architecture and protocols Private information may be leaked easily. A privacy control architecture may be exploited to manage access privileges to private information. Relevant protocols may be followed. Adult verification Even boys and girls below 10 are using cell phones. ID applications can make they access to adult contents very easily. GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications

GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications Relevant SDOs (1/3) ITU-T Covers application and network aspects of identification including RFID. ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 31/WG 4 Covers the scope between tags and an RFID application system via multiple RFID readers except for application and network aspects. WG 4/SG 1 deals with application interface protocol and data encoding. WG 4/SG 3 deals with air interface protocols. GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications

GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications Relevant SDOs (2/3) EPCglobal Has more extended work scopes including application and network aspects than ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 31/WG 4. But it focuses on B2B applications. ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 17 Deals with smartcard issues, for examples, air interface protocols, data encoding, etc. ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 27 Deals with security techniques. IETF Deals with directory-related issues such as LDAP, DNS, etc. GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications

GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications Relevant SDOs (3/3) OMA Deals with content negotiation for cell phone environment GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications

Conclusion and Proposal (1/3) Relevant SDOs have different work scopes. There are many prospective additions and extensions to existing RFID-related standards. Due to limited work scopes, Some of them correspond to ITU-T’s prospective work items; Some of them correspond to cooperation work items with other SDOs; and Some of them are likely to be other SDOs’ work items. Therefore, close cooperation is required to develop harmonized and globally compatible RFID-related standards. GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications

Conclusion and Proposal (2/3) A leading formal action of ITU-T is required to set up close cooperation with PSOs and SDOs and develop harmonized and globally compatible RFID-related standards. So this contribution proposes following added and revised texts: GSC-11 recognized: There are many new standardization topics on networked B2B, B2C and B2B2C RFID applications; and A focus group is taken into account at ITU-T to create a common work place for all RFID matters. GSC-11 considered: Close cooperation with SDOs is required due to different and limited work scopes. GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications

Conclusion and Proposal (3/3) GSC-11 resolved: To encourage harmonized standards development; and To make a leading formal procedure of ITU-T to set up close cooperation with PSOs and SDOs and develop harmonized and globally compatible RFID-related standards.
