ITU-T X.1642 (03/2016) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations spec

12、ialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them

13、with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T R

14、ecommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used fo

15、r conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Rec

16、ommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any

17、party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTSITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property

18、 Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implem

Cloud computing systems are facing more challenges than traditi

41、onal information technology (IT) systems because they are more complicated, and huge amounts of users private data have been stored in the cloud. Both security and privacy protection are the most important factors when customers evaluate the use of cloud computing services. More and more cloud servi

42、ces will be supplied, and methods to guarantee the reliability of these cloud services have become more urgent. It is therefore necessary to thoroughly investigate the operational security of cloud computing to provide guidelines for cloud service providers (CSPs). The guidelines can help CSPs reduc

43、e the security risk from improper operation, unreasonable business design, etc., and improve the overall security level of operation for cloud computing services. From the perspective of CSPs, the main security challenges of operational security are described below: 1) Challenges to the maintenance

44、of cloud computing infrastructure: When cloud computing provides the users with IT infrastructure, a platform or software as a service, the stability, reliability and safe delivery of cloud services are a prerequisite to carry out business. In order to guarantee that customer service is not interrup

45、ted, the infrastructure of the cloud system should be ensured for a reliable and stable operation, and the necessary precautions should be adopted to protect the safety and privacy of users information. Even in the event of a small 4 Rec. ITU-T X.1642 (03/2016) failure, many CSCs may experience diff

46、iculties such as business interruption or data loss. CSPs should seriously consider how to quickly locate the faults and automatically switch to the backup system seamlessly to protect the availability of customers service. 2) Challenges to the management mode of cloud computing: The characteristics

47、 of cloud computing, such as cross-regional services, huge computing power, separation of data management and ownership, distinguishes it from the traditional IT services. These challenges require effective management and co-operation between branch nodes to solve security problems by CSPs. For CSPs

48、, some necessary technical measures, such as security configuration management, etc., a reasonable distribution of management authority, and a set of effective management rules and processes will be needed to prevent the leakage of user data. For example, CSPs should take measures to prevent the int

49、ernal administrators from overstepping their authority so as to prevent users from abusing the cloud computing resources. Overall, for the complete security of cloud applications operated on the cloud infrastructure, CSPs should adopt different technological methods and management mechanisms not only to maintain the security, stability and availability of the cloud infrastructure, but also to protect the business continuity and the user data of the cloud services operated. 7 Requirements of the
