Summary

Smart office services combining multiple smart applications aim to improve the quality of office-based businesses and enhance efficiency management. Since information and communication technologies (ICTs) serve as the basis for technologies in smart office services, the telecommunication operator plays an important role among the stakeholders in smart office services.

Typical smart office services include smart parking, smart driving, smart retail shop, smart office, smart meeting room management, smart water and smart energy consumption management. Among these typical smart office services, the location data provided by the operator is one of the key elements in most smart office service implementations.

In order to ensure the security of location-enabled smart office services, security threats and relevant security requirements specific to location-enabled services need to be analysed and the overall security measures established.

Recommendation ITU-T X.1454 analyses the typical application scenarios of location-enabled smart office services, specifies their security threats and requirements and establishes security measures for the operator and key stakeholders in a smart office to safeguard location-enabled services.
