Recommendation X.1643 analyses security threats and challenges on virtualization container in cloud computing environment and specifies a reference framework with security guidelines for virtualization container in cloud.
This Recommendation proposes security guidelines for identity management (IdM) systems. The security guidelines provide how an IdM system should be deployed and operated for secure identity services in NGN (Next Generation Network) or cyberspace environment. The security guidelines focus on providing official advice how to employ various security mechanisms to protect a general IdM system and it also provides proper security procedures required when two IdM systems are interoperated.
This Recommendation describes the protocol for managing capability exposure APIs in IMT2020 network. It includes signalling architecture, API management functions, signalling flows and their message format, and definition for management APIs. It also describes gap analysis and use cases for API management. This protocol can be used by network operators and third parties to manage capability exposure APIs.
Recommendation ITU-T J.1611 specifies functional requirements for a smart home gateway from both the hardware and software point of view to ensure secure interoperability among consumers, businesses and industries by delivering a standardized communications platform and allowing devices to communicate across operating systems, service providers, transport technologies or ecosystems. In a smart home solution, a gateway is incorporated to connect various appliances. In addition, a connection management platform based on the Internet of things (IoT) is required to enable various applications. These applicable solutions include home health, entertainment, security and home automation, which promote a safer, happier, as well as a more comfortable and convenient lifestyle.
Recommendation ITU-T X.1602 analyses the maturity levels of software as a service (SaaS) application and proposes security requirements to provide a consistent and secure service execution environment for SaaS applications. These proposed requirements originate from cloud service providers (CSP) and cloud service partners (CSN) as they need a SaaS application environment to meet their demands on security. The requirements are general and independent of any service or scenario specific model (e.g. web services, or representational state transfer (REST)), assumptions or solutions.
Recommendation ITU-T X.1364 analyses potential deployment schemes and typical application scenarios for narrowband Internet of things (NB-IoT). It specifies security threats and requirements specific to the NB-IoT deployments and establishes a security framework for the operator to safeguard new NB-IoT technology applications. Current developments in telecommunication technology in the mobile communication domain, are leading to changes in communication patterns from person-to-person to person-to-thing and thing-to-thing, making inevitable the evolution to the Internet of things. Compared to short distance communication technologies such as Bluetooth, ZigBee and others, cellular mobile networks characterized by wide coverage, mobility and extensive connections that bring richer application scenarios will become the main interconnection technology of IoT. NB-IoT is based on cellular mobile network technology, using a bandwidth of approximately only 180 KHz. It may be deployed on global system for mobile communication (GSM) networks, universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS) networks or long-term evolution (LTE) networks directly to reduce costs and achieve a smooth upgrade. Based on its low power dissipation, wide coverage, low cost and high capacity, NB-IoT is expected to be massively adopted by operators with wide application in multiple vertical industries. As a new technology, NB-IoT has its own characteristics that may bring new security issues. In order to ensure security of NB-IoT deployments and applications, security threats and relevant security requirements specific to NB-IoT need to be analysed and an overall security framework for NB-IoT needs to be established.
The Recommendation X.1044 analyses security challenges and threats on Network Virtualization, and provides the security requirements on physical resources layer, virtual resources layer and LINP layer in Network Virtualization (NV).
Supplement 10 to the ITU- X series of Recommendations provides an overview of traceback for responsive measures to certain network issues within asingle or a more complex array of service providers. Traceback may assist in discovering ingress points, paths, partial paths or sources of problematic network events.
This information may aid service providers in mitigating such events.
Biometric technology in mobile devices is frequently used in various areas that require a high level of reliability, such as a smart car, e-banking, e-payment, telemedicine and e-healthcare services. In particular, it is necessary to implement countermeasures, which can pre-emptively cope with fake physiological biometrics to ensure mobile telebiometric data security, to presentation attacks. Recommendation ITU-T X.1094 specifies new secure and strong telebiometric authentication methods using biosignals.
Recommendation ITU-T X.1043 analyses security threats to and defines security requirements for software-defined networking (SDN) based service function chaining. The corresponding security countermeasures are also given. This Recommendation aims to help understanding of security risks encountered when using the SDN-based service function chaining and implementation of secured SDN-based service function chains.
Recommendation ITU-T X.1042 supports the protection of network resources using security services based on software-defined networking (SDN). This Recommendation first classifies the network resources for SDN-based security services: SDN application, SDN controller, SDN switch and security manager (SM). Recommendation ITU-T X.1042 then defines security services based on SDN.
Recommendation ITU-T X.1040 analyses the main features and typical threats faced by e‑commerce service ecosystems, and provides a security reference architecture for lifecycle management of e-commerce business data.
