Summary

This Recommendation provides specifications to support security transformations, such as encryption, hashing, sealing and signing, focusing on whole Remote Operations Service Element (ROSE) Protocol Data Units (PDUs). Security transformations are used to provide various security services such as authentication, confidentiality, integrity and non-repudiation. This Recommendation describes an approach to the provisioning of security transformations that is implemented in the application layer and requires no security-specific functionality in any of the underlying OSI stack layers.
