Standard

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.

This work item will study multi-tenancy related use cases for NFV to remove the gap between the existing IFA010 general functional requirements on multitenancy management and the missing requirement details regarding NFV elements consumed by different tenants. It will also take into consideration possible relation with Release 3 features like multi-domain NS provisioning, security orchestration. Key issues on multi-tenancy in NFV (e.g. tenant-dependent LCM, tenant dependent resource management, traffic separation, ..) will be identified and analyzed for concluding the recommendations.

This work item will analyse and define the type of OAM functions for VNFs that can be generalized and be provided as a “generic function” supporting the provisioning, connectivity, configuration and monitoring of VNFs on a virtualized platform. The work item will also determine possible solutions to realize such generic OAM functions, e.g., by leveraging PaaS capabilities. The result report will include, if necessary, recommendations for requirements and architectural enhancements. The resulting deliverable will be informative.

This document provides a standardized IoT Reference Architecture using a common vocabulary, reusable designs and industry best practices. It uses a top down approach, beginning with collecting the most important characteristics of IoT, abstracting those into a generic IoT Conceptual Model, deriving a high level system based reference with subsequent dissection of that model into the four architecture views (functional view, system view, networking view and usage view) from different perspectives.

The standard provides guidelines for the security standards of organizational information and information security management practices, including the selection, implementation and management of controls, taking into account the risk environment for the security of the organisation information.

The standard defines the specific guidelines for the management of digital data which are the identification, collection, acquisition and preservation of digital evidence that can be of probative value. This standard provides guidance to individuals regarding common situations encountered during the processing of digital data and assists organizations in their disciplinary procedures and in facilitating the exchange of potential digital evidence between jurisdictions.

The standard provides a guideline on the mechanisms to ensure that the methods and processes used in the investigation of information security incidents are "fit for purpose". It contains the best practices regarding the definition of the requirements, the description of the methods, and demonstration of how the implementation of the methods can satisfy the requests. It also includes considerations on how vendors and third parties can be used to help this warranty process.

This standard provides a guide for the analysis and interpretation of digital data in a way that highlights problems related to continuity, validity, reproducibility and repeatability. It encompasses the best practices for selecting, designing and implementing sufficient information analysis and registration processes to allow processes to be subjected to independent review if necessary. It also provides guidance on the appropriate mechanisms to demonstrate the professionalism and competence of the investigation team.

Describes guidelines based on idealized models for common incident investigation processes across various incident investigation scenarios involving digital evidence.
