AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD Approval of an American National Standard requires review by ANSI that the requirements for due process, consensus, and other criteria for approval have been met by the standards developer. Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board o

21、ipment TE-BETETETE-BEFigure 1 Security trust model/ATIS-1000029 A “trusted network security zone” or “trusted zone” in short, is a zone where a NGN providers network elements and systems reside and never communicate directly with customer equipment or other domains. The common characteristics of NGN

22、 network elements in this zone are that 1). They are under the full control (for provisioning, maintenance, and operational control) of the NGN provider, 2) They are located in the NGN provider domain, and ATIS-1000034.2010 9 3) They communicate only with other elements in the “trusted” zone and wit

23、h elements in the “trusted-but-vulnerable” zone. It should not be assumed that because a network element is in a trusted zone, it is necessarily secure. The network elements in the “trusted zone” will be protected by a combination of various methods. Some examples are physical security of the NGN ne

24、twork elements, general hardening of the systems, use of secure signalling, security for management messages, and the use of a separate VPN within the (MPLS/)IP network. The same combination of methods is expected to be applied to secure communication within the “trusted” zone and between NGN networ

25、k elements in the “trusted” zone and the “trusted-but-vulnerable” zone. A “trusted but vulnerable network security zone”, or “trusted but vulnerable zone” in short, is a zone where the network elements/devices communicate with elements in the “un-trusted” zone, which is why they are “vulnerable”. In

26、 addition, they communicate with elements in the “trusted” zone. Like network elements in the “trusted” zone, the equipment is under the control of the NGN provider, though the equipment may be located within or outside the NGN providers premises. Their major security function is to protect the NEs

27、in the trusted zone from the security attacks originated in the un-trusted zone. The combination of methods applied to secure communication between NGN network elements in the “trusted-but-vulnerable” zone and the “untrusted” zone may differ from those used to secure communication in the “trusted” z

28、one. Elements that are located on the NGN providers domain with connectivity to elements outside the trusted zone are referred to as network border elements (NBEs). Examples of these are the: Network Border elements that interface to the service control or transport elements of the NGN provider in t

29、he trusted zone in order to provide the user/subscriber access to the NGN providers network for services and/or transport. Examples of these are access Session Border Controllers (SBCs) at the UNI and interconnect SBCs at the NNI. “Domain border elements (DBEs)” that reside on the border between two

30、 domains within a single service providers network. “Device configuration a base station router (BSR), a network element that integrates the base station, radio network controller and router functionalities for wireless access; an optical unit (ONU) within a user/subscribers residence. ATIS-1000034.

31、2010 10 The “trusted-but-vulnerable” zone, comprised of NBEs, will be protected by a combination of various methods. Some examples are physical security of the NGN network elements, general hardening of the systems, , use of secure signalling for all signalling messages sent to NGN network elements

32、in the “trusted” zone, security for OAMP messages, and packet filters and firewalls. An “un-trusted” zone includes all network elements of customer networks and possibly peer networks or other NGN provider domains which are connected to the NGN Providers network border elements. In the “un-trusted”

33、zone comprised of terminal equipment, equipment is not under the control of the NGN provider and it may be impossible to enforce the NGN providers security policy on the user. Still it is desirable to try to apply some security measures, and to that end, it is recommended that signalling, media, and

34、 OAMP interfaces be secured and the TE-BE located in the “un-trusted” zone, be hardened. However, security is less for communication with network elements in the “un-trusted” zone than for communication with network elements in the “trusted” zone. 7.2 Peering network trust model When an NGN is conne

35、cted to another network, the presence or absence of trust depends on: the physical interconnection, where the interconnection can range from a direct connection in a secure building to a connection between separate (possibly not secured) buildings via shared facilities; the peering model, where the

36、traffic can be exchanged directly between the two NGN service providers, or via one or more NGN transport providers; the business relationships among network, where there may be penalty clauses in the SLA, and/or a trust in the other NGN providers security policies; in general, NGN providers should

37、view other providers as un-trusted. Figure 2 shows an example when a connected network is judged un-trusted.

38、ovider AFigure 2 Peering trust model/ATIS-1000029 8 Identification, Authentication and Authorization Refer to ATIS-1000029, ATIS-1000030, ATIS-1000035, ITU-T Y.2701, ITU-T Y.2702, and ITU-T Y.2720 for information related to identification, authentication, authorization and identity management (IdM).

39、 ATIS-1000034.2010 11 This clause describes identification, authentication and authorization mechanisms, in particular, those concerning SIP-based services. The mechanisms concerning other services are for further study. 8.1 Subscribers A request for an NGN service is associated with a subscriber. T

40、his association is determined through identification of the request with the subscriber. Further identification (and associated authentication) of the End-User may be necessary depending on the SLA between the NGN provider and the Subscriber. This process can be achieved by using a functional elemen

41、t that facilitates identification and authentication of subscribers, devices or end-users (called an Authenticator). For example, Network Border Elements (NBE) with back-to-back user agent (B2BUA) functionality or P-CSC-FEs can be Authenticators of subscribers for SIP-based services. Identification

42、and authentication is achieved by exchanging and validating credentials between the Authenticator and the TE. 8.2 Network Element ATIS-1000029 and ITU-T Y.2701 recommends that Network Elements to be identified and authenticated for communications. If the Border Element receives the request from a NG

43、N Network Element in the Trusted Zone, the identification contained in the request may be considered accurate and not checked further subject to NGN provider security policy. If the Border Element receives requests from Network Elements in the un-trusted and the trusted-but vulnerable Zone, the Netw

44、ork Elements are recommended to be identified and authenticated and the communication privileges verified. Identification and authentication is achieved by exchanging and validating credentials between the Authenticator and the NE. 8.3 Credential usage in the NGN Security Credentials are used in NGN

45、 Security to identify and authenticate a Device, a Subscriber, or an End-User. These credentials are described in section 8.3.1. These credentials may take one of two different forms, either a X.509 public key certificate (described in clause 8.3.2) or a shared key (described in section 8.3.3). An X

46、.509 public key certificate may be used to establish a secure transport between the TE and the Authenticator (described in section 8.3.1) based on the NGN provider policy. The shared key may be used either to establish a secure transport, or in generating/verifying the response to an Authenticator -

47、initiated challenge (described in section 8.3.1) based on the NGN provider policy. 8.3.1 Device, Subscriber, and End-User Credentials Three distinct types of credentials are used in the NGN: 1. Device credentials, 2. Subscriber credentials, and 3. End-User credentials. ATIS-1000034.2010 12 Device cr

48、edentials may be supplied by the manufacturer with the device. For example, during the manufacture of the device, the device may have the credentials “burned in” from the manufacturer, which includes such information as the device serial number or the manufacturer. Device credentials identify and au

49、thenticate the device. An NGN provider may associate device credentials with a particular subscribers service to alleviate the need for subscriber credentials. In such cases requests from the device may be associated with a particular account based on the NGN provider policy. Subscriber credentials are used for association of the originator of an NGN request with a particular account. Subscriber credentials are entered (e.g., via download, SIM, etc.) in the devices capable of accepting such credentials. Subscriber credentials installed on a
