Summary:
|
Currently, due to the OTT (over the top) booming in the ICT domain, operators need to explore an innovative cooperation way with 3rd party service providers especially with IT service providers to avoid their traffic growth without income increase. Open capabilities of telecommunication services can bridge the operators' telecommunication services capabilities and the 3rd party service providers' customized service requirements, thus it becomes a win-win cooperation paradigm.
As the core asset for the operators, capabilities of telecommunication services should be opened by a secure way and protected in full-scale, not only because it involves operators' business security but also relates to users' information security. Without comprehensive security mechanisms, the unsecure/spiteful application/service from the 3rd party service provider using capabilities of telecommunication services will do harm to operators' transmission network, business system and even user's privacy. To offer secure telecommunication service capabilities to cooperative service providers, consequently, the security requirements for open capabilities of telecommunication services need to be analysed exhaustively and the overall security framework need to be established.
Recommendation ITU-T X.websec-6 analyses the security requirements of open capabilities of telecommunication services, and provides a security framework.
