Specialist Task Force 423:
Security standards to support ITS Work Programme
Who we are:
Team Leader: Steve Randall PQM Consultants steve.randall@pqmconsultants.com
Team Members: Siv-Hilde Houmb Secure-NOK AS sivhoumb@securenok.com
Haitham Cruikshank University of Surrey h.cruickshank@surrey.ac.uk
Ben Glas Robert Bosch GmbH benjamin.glas@de.bosch.com
André Weimerskirch escrypt Inc. andre.weimerskirch@escrypt.com
William Whyte Security Innovation Inc wwhyte@securityinnovation.com
What we do:
The role of
STF423 is to contribute to the ongoing programme of work within Working Group 5
(Security) of TC-ITS. This will involve the development of specific Technical
Specifications related to the ITS security architecture and security management
within an ITS station as well as trust and privacy management, confidentiality
and access control as they apply to Intelligent Transport Systems.
For more details, see our
Terms of Reference
Why we do it:
The European
Commission recognises that ITS for road safety contributes to their general goal
of reducing accidents and fatalities. However there are a number of security
threats that may have severe impacts on the safety and viability of ITS
cooperative systems that cumulatively reduce the benefits of ITS to society.
Consequently, the EC has been willing to invest in the ITS security
standardization activities of STF423 under its Mandate M/453.
The security mechanisms identified by Working Group 5 as
essential to counter risks associated with cooperative ITS will
be expanded by STF423 as fully implementable specifications for
deployment in first generation cooperative systems.
How we do it:
Each member
of the STF brings specific and distinct skills to the project. Between them,
they offer expertise in cryptography, identity management, access control
mechanisms, threat analysis and intelligent transport systems.
Responsibility for the each project deliverable is assigned to the most
appropriate expert within the team although contributions will come from across
the whole STF.
Progress
within STF423 will be discussed regularly with TC-ITS WG5 both at their
face-to-face meetings and by email and telephone. Status reports will be
submitted to the European Commission during the project.
In addition to technical meetings with all of the Working Groups
within TC-ITS, the results of the project will be presented as
articles to relevant journals and as papers to appropriate ITS
and security conferences.
Deliverables:
The output
from STF423 will be four Technical Specifications, as follows:
DTS/ITS-0050014 (TS 102 940)
Security architecture and ITS Station Security Management
DTS/ITS-0050015 (TS 102 941)
Trust and Privacy Management
DTS/ITS-0050016 (TS 102 942)
Access Control
DTS/ITS-0050017 (TS 102 943)
Confidentiality services
These specifications build upon the ITS threat analysis in TR 102 893 and the
security services identified and described in TS 102 731.
