The document provides requirements for implementing Human-to-Human Online Preventative Security (H2H-OPS), which complements ETSI TR 104 137 [i.1] 'Human-to-Human Online Preventative Security'. The principles included in the present document are secure by design, safety by design, and privacy by design. These are supported by annexes covering balancing the different requirements for Human-to-Human Online Preventative Security, demography, education and digital literacy. H2H-OPS is targeted at the operators, designers and service provides that have products, services and applications that allow users to post content online or to interact with each other. For example, social media networks, consumer file cloud storage and sharing sites, video-sharing platforms, online forums, dating services, video games with player-toplayer messaging, and online instant messaging services.
This document establishes general principles for and methods of processing personal identifiable information (PII) in BC/DLT systems and provides requirements and recommendations derived from legal requirements and recommendations in the GDPR. The document clarifies relevant terms for both technical as well as legal experts. It establishes a methodological framework that helps identifying types of PII as well as mapping legal principles of the GDPR to technical measures available to improve data protection or mitigate the risk of processing PII in BC/DLT-systems. This document is aimed towards establishing a high level of privacy in BC/DLT-systems. This document is applicable to all BC/DLT-systems.
This document specifies the functionality of the Wallet Unit for Access Control to Wallet Held Assets (WHAs) i.e. personal data relating to the Wallet User and stored in the Wallet Unit. It defines the Wallet Access Control decision Engine (WACE) and the corresponding functional requirements, resulting in recommendations to the user on decision to be made. This document aims at: 1) describing and specifying an Access Control Model supporting access control to the various possible operations on WHA(s); 2) providing the definitions and classification of the various types of data and metadata, and supporting access control to the various possible operations on WHA(s) ; 3) describing and specifying a W ACE controlling the access to the various possible operations on WHA(s) and the notification returned by the Wallet Access Control Decision Engine to a Wallet Unit; 4) identifying requirements applicable to the Wallet Access Control Decision Engine; This document also:
identifies technical specifications and standards that can be used to support the concepts described herein;
specifies additional requirements for the use of the identified specifications to meet the above objectives;
provides the missing technical specifications needed to meet the above objectives where needed;
provides examples and use cases; The Access Control Model and Wallet Access Control Decision Engine defined in this document aim to comply with the regulator requirements regarding access control.
The following areas are out of the scope of this document: 1) content and encoding of the policies assigned for the disclosure of WHA(s), 2) implementation choice and encoding of Wallet Held Access Control Metadata; 3) encoding of electronic attestation(s) of attributes which are in the remit of ETSI/TC ESI.
This fellowship supported my work in updating to the IEEE 802.11 standard to prevent a recently discovered security weakness. This weakness is related to mesh networks, where, without extra defenses, an adversary could inject arbitrary packets into protected mesh networks. We designed a defense to mitigate this challenging gap. Unique about our created defense is that it is fully backward compatible, meaning each individual mesh client can independently enable this defense. As a proof-of-concept, we also implemented this defense in the Linux kernel to demonstrate practicality and confirm it prevents attacks.
During the fellowship, I have been in contact with LANCOM, a European company providing Wi-Fi equipment, on improving the security of their devices, inspired by our research and contributions to the IEEE 802.11 standards. This allows European SMEs to take a leadership position on ensuring security and privacy in IEEE 802.11 equipment and networks.
Impact on society (9th Open Call)
Privacy and security are core human rights in our eyes, and our standardization improvements support this societal right. More broadly, these contributions help us as a European player to influence the IEEE 802.11 standard with these values. The security improvements are also created with sustainability in mind, as their overhead is designed to be minimal and practically negligible, and is designed to be backward compatible to reduce e-waste.
