Cybersecurity/Network and Information security

Cybersecurity, OSI - Open System Interconnections. XACML is expected to address fine grained control of authorized activities, the effect of characteristics of the access requestor, the protocol over which the request is made, authorization based on classes of activities, and content introspection (i.e. authorization based on both the requestor and potentially attribute values within the target where the values of the attributes may not be known to the policy writer). XACML is also expected to suggest a policy authorization model to guide implementers of the authorization mechanism."

The OASIS KMIP TC works to define a single, comprehensive protocol for communication between encryption systems and a broad range of new and legacy enterprise applications, including email, databases, and storage devices. By removing redundant, incompatible key management processes, KMIP will provide better data security while at the same time reducing expenditures on multiple products.

The OASIS CSAF Technical Committee is chartered to make a major revision to the Common Vulnerability Reporting Framework (CVRF) under a new name for the framework that reflects the primary purpose: a Common Security Advisory Framework (CSAF). TC deliverables are designed standardize existing practice in structured machine-readable vulnerability-related advisories and further refine those standards over time.

The OASIS PMRM TC works to provide a standards-based framework that will help business process engineers, IT analysts, architects, and developers implement privacy and security policies in their operations. PMRM picks up where broad privacy policies leave off. Most policies describe fair information practices and principles but offer little insight into actual implementation. PMRM provides a guideline or template for developing operational solutions to privacy issues. It also serves as an analytical tool for assessing the completeness of proposed solutions and as the basis for establishing categories and groupings of privacy management controls.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
