Cybersecurity/Network and Information security

This document specifies:

• logical data structures for a Biometric System-on-Card (BSoC);
• enrolment procedures; and
• usage of commands and data structures defined in other International Standards for BSoC.

This document does not define requirements for:

• commands and data structures that apply to devices external to a BSoC;
• commands and data structures that apply to logical interfaces inside a BSoC.

CEN/CLC/JTC 13/WG 9  -  Horizontal cybersecurity for products with digital elements: WG9 is responsible for the development of the horizontal standards in response to the European Cyber Resilience Act Standardisation Request M/606, items 1 - 15.WG 9 supports coordination and coherence between the vertical deliverables of the CRA and the horizontal deliverables of WG9

ETSI’s Technical Committee on Cyber Security (TC CYBER) is a centre of expertise in cybersecurity. It provides market-driven cybersecurity standardisation solutions, advice, and guidance to users, manufacturers, infrastructure/service operators and regulators.

The Committee works closely with stakeholders to develop standards that strengthen privacy and enhance the security capabilities for organisations and citizens across Europe and worldwide.

Our standards help make our society more secure and better protected against cybersecurity threats and are designed to be applicable across diverse domains.

The ETSI Technical Committee on Cybersecurity Working Group EU Standardisation Requests (CYBER-EUSR) is developing vertical standards in support of the implementation of the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). These standards will specify cybersecurity requirements for digital products to provide presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the CRA.

Recommendation ITU-T X.506 | ISO/IEC 9594-13 establishes the background for the necessity for establishing crypto agility in the light of coming quantum computers but also when currently used cryptographic algorithms are considered unsafe. It does not alone describe WHY migration is required but also specifies in detail HOW migration is performed. It defines principles for how public-key certificates, attribute certificates and communication protocols can be prepared for migration and it provides tools for how migration can be established. The considerations on migration of public-key certificates are consistent with the approach specified in Rec. ITU-T X.509 | ISO/IEC 9594-8. The approach taken for migration of communication protocols is consistent with the one taken for public-key certificates to allow for a consistent migration strategy. Recommendation ITU-T X.506 | ISO/IEC 9594-13 is technically aligned with IEC TR 62351-90-4 for the electrical power industry.
