DOCUMENT #: GSC15-GTSC8-06 FOR: Presentation SOURCE: ATIS AGENDA ITEM: GTSC8; 4.2 CONTACT(S): Art Reilly ATIS Cybersecurity Art Reilly, Cisco Global Standards Collaboration (GSC) GSC-15

2 Highlight of Current Activities (1) ATIS’ Packet Technologies and Systems Committee (PTSC)  Completed: UNI and NNI signalling security standards UNI and NNI testing standards NGN authentication requirements Session Border Controller (SBC) requirements  Security architecture is layered, both horizontally and vertically, with border element functions protecting trusted from untrusted domains

3 Highlight of Current Activities (2)  PTSC continues to focus on security-related topics that will ensure robust signalling and communications standards and network implementations that will provide adequate protection and support for multimedia and emergency services in the current cybersecurity environment: ETS Authentication Data Border Function Requirements Security Mechanisms Location Identity Management Certificate Management

4 Highlight of Current Activities (3)  PTSC’s focus is on specifying security considerations for Layers 1 through 5 for UNIs, NNIs, ANIs, and SNIs Generation of interface requirements will:  Attempt to reduce number of available interconnection options, without compromising the desired flexibility in implementing the services, thereby facilitating interoperability  Facilitate interconnection negotiations  Ensure adequate security will be provided

5 Highlight of Current Activities (4) ATIS’ Network Performance, Reliability, and QoS Committee (PRQC)  Current/Future work: Currently working on Standard for Media Plane Performance Security Impairments Standard for Evolving VoIP/Multimedia Networks  Document potential QoS degradations associated with security mechanisms  Identify potential security problems associated with QoS mechanisms Extend work initiated in ATIS , Information & Communications Security for NGN Converged Services IP Networks and Infrastructure  Published: ATIS , User-Network Interface (UNI) Media Plane Security Standard for Evolving VoIP/Multimedia Networks, published. ATIS (see above)

6 Highlight of Current Activities (5) ATIS’ Telecom Management and Operations Committee (TMOC)  TMOC will continue to address Management aspects of security, especially concerning NGN Carrier Interconnection arrangements and VoIP Registry Database Management aspects of security, as driven by the ATIS Board (e.g., TOPS Council or CIO Council)

7 Strategic Direction  ATIS continues to develop a suite of security authentication and IdM standards that will facilitate secure interconnection of: transport facilities signalling facilities services and applications  Cloud computing may pose significant security issues that will need to be addressed

8 Challenges  SIP security solutions are tailored to be end to end  SIP/SIPPING/SIMPLE/etc. RFCs have well written security sections that are not fully implemented in vendor products  Security solutions have an impact on delay and performance

9 Next Steps/Actions  ATIS will continue on its current path of generating a complete suite of standards that can be used to facilitate interconnection negotiations and result in interconnection scenarios that are secure

10 Proposed Resolution  Continued support for GSC-14 Security Related Resolutions: Resolution GSC-14/4 - Identity Management Resolution GSC-14/25 - Personally Identifiable Information Protection  Update Resolution GSC-14/11 - Cybersecurity to reflect actions at WTDC10 (modified draft Resolution provided as a GSC contribution)
