16、IC SERVICES MARKET Several teleconferencing services are being harmonised by CEPT in which real-time, or quasi-real-time visual services, sometimes accompanied by speech, text or graphic services, are provided between two or more terminals by means of high-speed bearer services. Market surveys in se

17、veral countries indicate that these visual telematic services are a useful alternative to face-to-face meetings, but that business customers are reluctant to use the service unless confidentiality can be assured to a level commensurate with commercial practice. Therefore CEPT is recommending a reper

18、toire of supplementary services for information security in visual telematic services that are appropriate and acceptable to its Administrations for protecting inter-European visual telematic services. The Security of other telematic services that may be used in conjunction with visual services, for

19、 example, speech (if not part of the implementation of the visual telematic service), Teletex and graphic services, facsimile and telewriting, are addressed in separate CEPT-SF Recommendations for the security of each individual telematic service. NETWORK SECURE SERVICE OPTIONS The services and faci

20、lities for information security in visual telematic services may be provided in several different ways according to the organisation of the networks that support the service. The choice of security options, as represented by the network secure service options described in 2.1. to 2.3., will be deter

21、mined by each Administration taking cognisance of local circumstance, the compromise between the requirements of the customer, the threats to the network and the cost of the various options. However, regardless of which nehvork security topology is chosen, the security framework for international vi

22、sual telematic services should enable: (a) complete compatibility behveen terminals of the visual telematic services terminals that have invoked (b) the ability to intercommunicate directly between terminals arranged in different network security the same set of security supplementary services, topo

23、logies. Inter-nodal protection For a minimum cost solution, the security supplementary services may be implemented between the network nodes supporting the visual telematic services so as to provide protection only on those parts of the route of the bearer network that are most exposed to monitoring

24、 or attack, e.g. : satellite and terrestrial radio links (see Figure 1 (T/SF 56). The location of the security supplementary services at a network node enables the Administration to dimension the security functionality on a shared basis at strategic network switching centres, thus reducing considera

25、bly the cost of security. However, the option requires that the Administration deals with key- management and control because the information security equipment is located in the premises of the Administration. End-to-end protection In this option, every terminal for visual telematic services that r

26、equires security supplementary services will need the additional functionality included within the terminal. Therefore the total volume of security equipment, and its reflection in the tarif or the purchase price of the terminal, would be greater than that of 2.1, However, the local network part of

27、the Videoconferencing link would also be protected as well as the links between network nodes (see Figure 2 (T/SF 56). Interworking of non-compatible terminals Assuming that Administrations comply with the CEPT Recommendation on condentiality for visual telematic services, then international interwo

28、rking will consist of direct interconnection between compatible terminals that are structured in a security topology of either 2.1. or 2.2. Edition of January 15, 1988 CEPT T/SF*5b*E 87 2326434 O009453 4 T/SF 56 E Page 4 However, this Recommendation also acknowledges that, subject to bilateral agree

29、ment, other means of confidentiality may also be used. Indeed visual telematic services conforming to the CEPT Recommendation for security may have an operational requirement to interwork with non-conforming terminals, or with terminals operated by Administrations outside CEPT. In order to provide a

30、 harmonised procedure for dealing with non-conforming terminals, a third network security option is defined in this Recommendation in which secure interworking is still possible by deploying a secure relay node or gateway offering a value-added conversion facility for visual telematic services havin

31、g differing information protection parameters (see Figure 3 (T/SF 56). In this option the secure functionality is stripped off the visual telematic services information at a secure gateway, and new secure functionality asserted for the completion of the information flow to its destination. As the se

32、nsitive information is processed without protection within the gateway, its standards of physical security should be sufficiently high to maintain overall security, and the operating standards at the gateway must be trusted by all users. All three options (2.1. to 2.3.) should be available for Admin

33、istrations to use, as appropriate to local circumstances. Therefore implementation should allow the interworking of terminals when they have invoked the supplementary information security services, regardless of which the three network secure service options for visual telematic services have been a

34、dopted by any Administration. 3. 3.1. 3.2. 3.3. 3.4. SECURITY SUPPLEMENTARY SERVICE REQUIREMENTS An analysis of the economic justification of supplementary information security services for visual telematic services follows. Definition of terms is consistent with the vocabulary of ISO/TC97/SC21 in r

35、egard to security architecture: Access conrol In visual telematic services that do not use permanently dedicated arrangements of networks, some mechanism for access control to visual conferences may be needed. However, it is unclear that this will be implemented as part of the supplementary services

36、 for information security. Information confidentiality Information Confidentiality is required to ensure the privacy of communication, which may be exposed to open bearer services involving satellite and terrestrial radio routes. It is unlikely that the full commercial potential of visual telematic

37、services will be achieved in the business sector unless customers can be assured that confidentiality is maintained to at least commercial standards. Information integrity It may be technically feasible for an attacker to insert, remove or alter information flowing between visual services terminals

38、in a way that deceives the users. But because of the interactive nature of the service, and the continuous flow of information, disruptions and replay attacks will be perceived quickly by the users. Therefore Integrity is allocated a relatively low commercial priority. Authentication Most visual tel

39、ematic conferences are expected to take place between participants who would recognise any attempt to impersonate others involved in the conference or communication. However, in conferences between participants who, for instance, are meeting for the first time, some method of authentication may be n

40、ecessary. O Edition of January 15, 1988 CEPT T/SF*Sb*E 87 232b414 O009454 b 3.5. O 4. 4.1. 4.2. 4.3. 5. 5.1. 5.2. 5.3. 5.4. T/SF 56 E Page 5 Non-repudiation There are only very few occasions in which participants of visual telematic services would be able to benefit by claiming not to have been invo

41、lved in a conference. Therefore non-repudiation is allocated a low commercial priority. This does not necessarily apply to other telematic services such as Teletex, telewriting and facsimile, which may be used in conjunction with visual telematic services, but are outside the scope of this Recommend

42、ation. INFORMATION CONFIDENTIALITY OPTIONS The following privacy service options are known to CEPT technical groups, and are characterized in Table 1 (T/SF 56): The American Data Encryption Standard. The Swiss GRETAG privacy system. The British Telecom B-CRYPT system. Noting the factors described in

43、 Table 1 (T/SF 56), it is recommended that the method/system of information confidentiality should ensure that, for visual telematic services: - it is available to the customers of all CEPT Administrations without restriction, - it is multi-sourced, the cost is reasonable compared to the functionali

44、ty offered. KEY-MANAGEMENT Key-management facilities are described in the context of the visual telematic services security framework to ensure compatibility of overall security for intercommunication. The following key-management options are known to CEPT technical groups, and are characterized in

45、Table 2 (T/SF 56): Manual exchange of secret key. Bilateral master key protocol. Stand-alone number-theoretic systems. A visual services derivative of CCITT X.ds7 Public directory number-theoretic key-management system. Noting the factors described in Table 2 (T/SF 56), it is recommended that, becau

46、se of the complexity. of agreeing and adopting a key-management scheme, key-management should be the subject of a separate SF Recommendation. In the meantime, it is recommended that: - a manual method of exchange of secret key visual telematic services is adopted, -a review of the method of key-mana

47、gement for visual telematic service is carried out when the CCITT X.ds7 draft Recommendation has been adopted.
