What we do
During a workshop entitled “IoT Standards Landscaping and Gap Analysis
Workshop”, which the European Commission has organized in February 2017
in cooperation with the ETSI Specialist Task Force (STF) 505 on IoT,
Security and Privacy as well as Semantic Interoperability and Platform
Interoperability were identified as essential key elements.
The STF 547 provides a strong support to some of the European Commission
policies in the domain of the Internet of Things (IoT). To some extent,
the work of STF 547 can be seen as a continuation of the one of STF 505,
though it takes into account a larger set of challenges.
The essential objectives of the STF 547 are to identify available
standards and – as importantly - best practices in its areas of work; to
build a bridge for the potential designers / implementers of IoT
systems; and to support their work by providing comprehensive material
for information, teaching/learning and demonstration with a very
practical usage and implementation perspective.
For more details, see our Terms
of Reference.
Why we do it
The key role of Cybersecurity and the growing concerns of Privacy
protection, in general and in IoT, have been reinforced by developments
of the European Commission that include announcement of a "Cybersecurity
Package" that may lead to specific cyber-security directives, and the
coming into force of in May 2018 of REGULATION (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR -
General Data Protection Regulation) on the protection of natural persons
with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement
of such data, that replaces the ePrivacy Directive 2002/58/EC.
The European Commission intends to play an important role in support of
these technical priorities and regulatory policies. There is an
expectation for a framework of voluntary proposals coming from the
industry for measures and actions (e.g., selection of reference standard
and best practices, declaration of voluntary conformance, presumption of
conformity to presume compliance with security/legislative framework).
The emergence of IoT ecosystems across Europe and beyond require a solid
standardized architectural framework, offering the integration of
advanced IoT technologies and fostering interoperability across IoT
domains and applications, taking into account leading institutional and
industry standards as well as their evolution paths.
How we do it
The STF is funded by the European Commission and integrated within the
Work Programme of the SmartM2M Technical Committee (Smart M2M TC).
Apart from the task related to the STF project management, the STF works
on the development of the deliverables of the STF (i.e. Technical
Reports, Progress Reports and Final Delivery Workshop) within the
following tasks:
• T3.1 Privacy: Standards Landscape and best practices from IoT initiatives and projects.
• T3.2 Privacy: Teaching Material
• T4.1 Security: Standards Landscape and best practices from IoT initiatives and projects
• T4.2 Security: Teaching Material
• T5 Guidelines for using semantic interoperability in the industry
• T6 Strategic / technical approach on how to achieve interoperability
/ interworking of existing standardized IoT Platforms
• T7 Plugtests™ preparation on Semantic Interoperability
• T8 Supporting the integration and coordination among the different domains in AIOTI
• T9 STF Dissemination Package, including the Delivery Workshop event
Deliverables
The following technical reports (TR) are developed:
D0 TR 103 591 Privacy study
report; Standards Landscape and best practices
D1 TR 103 533 Security; Standards
Landscape and best practices
D2-1 TR 103 534-1 Teaching
material; Part 1: IoT Security
D2-2 TR 103 534-2 Teaching
material; Part 2: IoT Privacy
D3 TR 103 535 Guidelines for using
semantic interoperability in the industry
D4 TR 103 536 Strategic /
technical approach on how to achieve interoperability /
interworking of existing standardized IoT Platforms
D5 TR 103 537 Plugtests™
preparation on Semantic Interoperability
In addition to the TRs above, a Special Report (SR 003 680) is developed:
D6 SR 003 680 Guidelines for Security, Privacy and Interoperability in IoT System Definition; A Concrete Approach
This SR is designed as a support for the dissemination of the STF results to a very large audience, beyond the technical community (addressed with the Technical Reports). It analyses a list of issues and provides guidelines and recommendations to all stakeholders involved across the whole life-cycle of IoT systems.
