Recommendation ITU-T F.743.8 specifies the requirements for a cloud computing platform supporting visual surveillance. Cloud computing is an emerging technology aimed at providing various computing services over the Internet. Using virtualization technology, a cloud computing platform realizes a ubiquitous and flexible shared resources pool that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service-provider interaction based on the needs of users. By using the cloud computing technology, the visual surveillance system can conveniently manage various functional components and services, such as video distribution, video transcoding and intelligent video processing. This Recommendation provides the application scenarios and requirements for a cloud computing platform supporting a visual surveillance system.

Recommendation ITU-T Y.3600 provides requirements, capabilities and use cases of cloud computing based big data as well as its system context. Cloud computing based big data provides the capabilities to collect, store, analyse, visualize and manage varieties of large volume datasets, which cannot be rapidly transferred and analysed using traditional technologies.

Recommendation ITU-T F.743.2 defines the cloud storage service requirements in visual surveillance. Cloud storage enables service users to have ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable storage resources, which can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service-provider interaction. Cloud storage can realize flexible and reliable data storage for large-scale visual surveillance, and its components are modularized and allocated dynamically based on real usage. This Recommendation provides the application scenarios and requirements for cloud storage in visual surveillance.

Recommendation ITU-T Y.3514 specifies a framework of trusted inter-cloud computing and relevant use cases. It provides general requirements for trusted inter-cloud and specific ones related to governance, management, resiliency, security and confidentiality of trusted inter-cloud.
 
Corrigendum 1 replaces the definition of dependability.

Recommendation ITU-T Y.3522 provides an overview of end-to-end (E2E) cloud service lifecycle management by specifying cloud service lifecycle metadata, the cloud service lifecycle management framework, cloud service lifecycle management stages and the relationship with cloud computing reference architecture. This Recommendation also provides E2E cloud service lifecycle management functional requirements derived from the corresponding typical use cases.

Recommendation ITU-T X.1601 describes the security framework for cloud computing. The Recommendation analyses security threats and challenges in the cloud computing environment, and describes security capabilities that could mitigate these threats and address security challenges. A framework methodology is provided for determining which of these security capabilities will require specification for mitigating security threats and addressing security challenges for cloud computing. Appendix I provides a mapping table on how a particular security threat or challenge is addressed by one or more corresponding security capabilities.

Recommendation ITU-T X.1641 provides generic security guidelines for the cloud service customer (CSC) data in cloud computing. It analyses the CSC data security lifecycle and proposes security requirements at each stage of the data lifecycle. Furthermore, Recommendation ITU-T X.1641 provides guidelines on when each control should be used for best security practice.

Recommendation ITU-T X.1642 provides generic operational security guidelines for cloud computing from the perspective of cloud service providers (CSPs). It analyses the security requirements and metrics for the operation of cloud computing. A set of security measures and detailed security activities for the daily operation and maintenance are provided to help CSPs mitigate security risks and address security challenges for the operation of cloud computing.

Recommendation ITU-T X.1603 analyses data security requirements for the monitoring service of cloud computing which includes monitoring data scope requirements, monitoring data lifecycle, security requirements of monitoring data acquisition and security requirements of monitoring data storage. Monitoring data scope requirements include the necessary monitoring scope that cloud service providers (CSPs) should provide to maintain cloud security and the biggest monitoring scope of CSPs. Monitoring data lifecycle includes data creation, data store, data use, data migrate, data present, data destroy and data backup. Monitoring acquisition determines security requirements of the acquisition techniques of monitoring service. Monitoring data storage determines security requirements for CSPs to store the monitoring data.

Recommendation ITU-T X.1631 | ISO/IEC 27017 provides guidelines for information security controls applicable to the provision and use of cloud services by providing:

• additional implementation guidance for relevant controls specified in ISO/IEC 27002;
• additional controls with implementation guidance that specifically relate to cloud services.

This Recommendation | International Standard provides controls and implementation guidance for both cloud service providers and cloud service customers.

Recommendation ITU-T H.626.2 defines a cloud storage architecture in visual surveillance. Cloud storage enables the service users to have ubiquitous, convenient and on-demand network access to a shared pool of the configurable storage resources, which can be rapidly provisioned and released with the minimal management effort or service-provider interaction. Cloud storage can realize flexible and reliable data storage for large-scale visual surveillance and its components are modularized and allocated dynamically based on the real usage. This Recommendation provides the architecture, entities, reference points and service control flow for cloud storage in visual surveillance.

Cloud interoperability for web applications refers to the interaction between the cloud service customer (CSC) and the cloud service provider (CSP) to obtain predictable results, collaboration among different web applications and consistency and interoperability of a management interface across different web applications.
 
Recommendation ITU-T Q.4042.1, which is part 1, specifies the cloud interoperability test objectives for web applications between the CSC and CSP.
 
These test objectives are developed on the basis of cloud computing interoperability testing objectives specified in Recommendation ITU-T Q.4040. The test cases for cloud interoperability testing for web applications are also introduced in the appendices.
