Summary:
|
Recommendation ITU-T X.PARCEP specifies an interoperable framework for Child Online Protection (COP) covering policy authoring, distribution, and enforcement across heterogeneous Policy Enforcement Points (PEPs) deployed on devices, applications, set-top-boxes, gaming consoles, home gateways, access networks, and online services. The framework defines a vendor-neutral data model expressing the household policy authored by a guardian (or co-guardian set) on behalf of a dependant, a federated trust model in which Policy Information Points (PIPs) issue and attest the credentials, classifier-model packages, content taxonomies, and jurisdictional overrides on which PEPs depend, and the requirements of the synchronization protocol that the IETF is expected to standardize. It defines roles (guardian, dependant, co-guardian), security and privacy requirements, transparency obligations to the dependant, AI-related threat-and-defense capability requirements, and a set of category-specific conformance profiles. It does not require content scanning, the weakening of end-to-end encryption, or the creation of a centralized database of dependants’ data.
