Summary:
|
Because of the obvious merits of peer-to-peer (P2P) networks (such as lower cost, scalability and fault tolerance), some operators began to consider the possibility to construct the next generation kernel network based on P2P. In order to implement an operable and manageable P2P-based telecommunication network, the security solution must be a critical part of it.
The distributed service network (DSN) defined in Recommendations ITU-T Y.2206 and Y.2080 is designed as a telecommunication network based on P2P. The capability requirements and the functional architecture are defined respectively in Recommendations ITU-T Y.2206 and Y.2080; however, the security aspects are not addressed in these two Recommendations. The security requirements and mechanisms defined in Recommendation ITU-T X.1163 complements the DSN-related work.
This Recommendation provides a security guideline for a telecommunication network based on P2P technology. It briefly introduces the characteristics of the network, it also analyses the security requirements of the network and the services, and it specifies the security mechanisms to fulfil these requirements.
