Part 2: Approved ICT Security Standards
(Version 4.2, January 2010)
Introduction

The purpose of this part of the Security Standards Roadmap is to provide a summary of existing, approved ICT security standards. Part 3 of the Roadmap will address standards that are under development.

The standards are listed by topic. Initially, the taxonomy for listing the standards will be kept very simple to ease the task of compilation. However, it is anticipated that the taxonomy will be expanded as the number of entries grows and as the editors gain experience in presenting the entries. It is also likely that some standards will occupy more than one category within the taxonomy.
Each entry provides the title of the standard, a short abstract or description, a document reference (e.g. ITU-T Rec. X.800, ISO/IEC 17799, IETF RFC 3631) the date of publication/approval and the responsible SDO. There is also provision for a short comment or linkage to the standard where it is available on-line.

This section includes standards of ATIS, ETSI, IEEE, IETF, ISO/IEC JTC 1, and ITU-T. Standards of other SDOs will be included as the Roadmap becomes more established. [Note: the listing of standards included in this section is not yet complete. In particular, the ISO/IEC listings are incomplete in that they include only standards from a subset of the Technical Committees.].

How to use the Security Standards Database

The user may select one of two views: the Organizational View lists standards by participating organization; the Functional View lists standards by topic.

Under the Functional View, opening a topic folder will provide a list of the standards included under that particular topic. More details on any particular standard are available by clicking on the link to standard. This takes the user to a new summary view entitled Work Item Details. Additional information is available about the group responsible for the standard and about the standard itself from this view. By selecting the standard (as listed in the Reference box of the Work Item View) a link is provided either to the standard itself or to the source of the standard. (Note: some organizations make their standards freely available while other organizations charge for their standards.)

Under the Organizational View, standards are listed under the responsible organization and subgroup. As with the Functional View, selecting the standard itself takes the user to the Work Item View mentioned above.
 Taxonomy
The taxonomy chosen for this Roadmap is fairly simple though categories are added as the Roadmap is developed and expands. Currently, standards are listed under the following primary categories:
  • General ICT security guidance documents
  • Security Architectures, Models and Frameworks

    • Authentication Services
    • Trusted Third Party services
    • Audit and Alarms services
  • Security mechanisms

    • Confidentiality mechanisms
    • Integrity mechanisms
    • Non-repudiation mechanisms
    • Generic security mechanisms
      1. Biometrics
      2. Check systems
