TPEG2 - Secure Wireless Internet (ITS)

Description:

This solution is used within Canada and the U.S.. It combines standards associated with TPEG2 with those for I-M: Secure Wireless Internet (ITS). The TPEG2 standards include upper-layer standards required to support multi-modal information services.. The I-M: Secure Wireless Internet (ITS) standards include lower-layer standards that support secure communications between two entities, either or both of which may be mobile devices, but they must be stationary or only moving within wireless range of a single wireless access point (e.g., a parked car). Security is based on X.509 or IEEE 1609.2 certificates. A non-mobile (if any) endpoint may connect to the service provider using any Internet connection method.

Solution Issues Severity: 9

The severity issue score calculation only includes issues associated with standards that are included by default.

Solution Issues:

Default Severity Name Type Description
True Medium Outdated security reference Security Gap The standard solution includes an outdated security reference.
True Medium Secure data access not provided Security Gap The solution does not define rules on how the application entity authenticates requests to accept or provide data.
True Medium Still under development Standardization Gap A draft of the standard has been developed by the working group, but it was still under development at the time this analysis was performed.
False Medium Option not standardized Standardization Gap The option set includes at least one option that is not (yet) defined in a standard.
False Medium Overlap of standards Overlap Multiple standards have been developed to address this information and it is unclear which standard should be used to address this specific information flow.
False Medium Regulatory Permission Needed Standardization Gap Deployment of this standard requires regulatory approval, which is currently subject to significant delays.
False Medium Uncertainty about trust revocation mechanism Security Gap The mechanisms used to prevent bad actors from sending authorized messages is unproven.
False High Regulatory Issue Standardization Gap Deployment of this standard is subject to regulatory approval, which is not currently expected to be granted for deployments in the near-term.
