Smart and Sustainable Cities

EME2-AES and XCB-AES wide-block encryption with associated data (EAD) modes of the NIST AES block cipher, providing usage guidelines and test vectors, are described. A wide block encryption algorithm behaves as a single block cipher with a large plaintext input and ciphertext output, but uses a narrow block cipher [in this case Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)] internally. These encryption modes are oriented toward random access storage devices that do not provide authentication, but need to reduce the granularity of a potential attack.

Alert messages need to be presented to users affected by possible alerts in a way that they can be readily understood and required actions can be taken. It is obvious that the presentation of these alert messages needs to be fully accessible for the largest possible user community, including people with specific requirements and elderly people with multiple impairments. The proposed Technical Report will summarize guidelines and good practice proposals to the design process of the user interface for the presentation of alert message on a wide range of end user devices in a fully accessible manner. SC EMTEL and TC HF will work in close cooperation to produce this TR.

The purpose of this work item is to prepare the requirements for communications involving IoT devices in all types of emergency situations (e.g. communications of individuals with authorities/organisations, between authorities/organisations, from authorities/organisations to the individuals, amongst individuals). The work will start with a study of the state of the art across the IoT domain scope. It will include an analysis of use cases for emergency services, taking into account the work already done in other projects, such as oneM2M and 3GPP. It will conclude with an analysis of the impacts of these use cases on the existing specifications and of what needs to be standardized.

The enhanced security management function for the protocol defined in IEEE 1888(TM), “Ubiquitous Green Community Control Network Protocol,” is described in this standard. Security requirements, system security architecture definitions, and a standardized description of authentication and authorization, along with security procedures and protocols, are specified. This standard can help avoid unintended data disclosure to the public and unauthorized access to resources, while providing enhanced integrity and confidentiality of transmitted data in the ubiquitous green community control network.

The EN will contain normative specifications related to the accessibility of websites and mobile applications and their compliance with the essential requirements of perceivability, operability, understandability and robustness defined in the Web and Mobile Accessibility Directive

The goal of this work item is to study the issues relevant for the localization of multilingual applications, regarded from all relevant stakeholders' perspectives. Based on the studies performed, this Technical Report will provide conclusions, recommendations and guidance addressing the issues related to the localization of user context dependent multilingual communications for interactive applications. The aim of the work will be on ensuring the accuracy of the texts generated by the applications, therewith simplifying the work of developers, publishers, translators and interaction designers

A listing of available Human Factors and disability standards with brief comment on their content

The preparation of a set of recommendations for the design and development of devices and applications such as mobile phones, smartphones, touchpads, tablet computers and their related applications in order people with learning disabilities (including elderly) to exploit the new services emerging from the rapidly evolving mobile ICT technology

The present document will address the objectives asked for in EC Mandate M/473.

The report will assess the different citizen/consumer needs that smart city standardization in the ICT domain has to address (accessibility, usability, personalisation, interoperability, personal data protection, etc)

The EG will update the terminology list of EG 202 132 to include relevant terms for upcoming device and service features and will extend the list to include the 5 most frequently spoken languages in the EU and EFTA (English, French, German, Italian, Spanish). The scope of the EG will be limited to general and generic terms and will not, in any way, prevent manufacturers and service operators to introduce specific and/or proprietary terms for special or unique features that they wish to offer.

This standard defines secure message formats and processing for use by Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments (WAVE) devices, including methods to secure WAVE management messages and methods to secure application messages. It also describes administrative functions necessary to support the core security functions.
