TPEG2 - Secure Internet (ITS)

Description

This solution is used within Australia, Canada, the E.U. and the U.S.. It combines standards associated with TPEG2 with those for I–I: Secure Internet (ITS). The TPEG2 standards include upper–layer standards required to support multi–modal information services.. The I–I: Secure Internet (ITS) standards include lower–layer standards that support secure communications between ITS equipment using X.509 or IEEE 1609.2 security certificates.

MgmtIETF RFC 3411An Architecture for Describing Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Management FrameworksThis standard (RFC) defines the basic architecture for SNMPv3 and includes the definition of information objects for managing the SNMP entity's architecture.
MgmtIETF RFC 3412Message Processing and Dispatching for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)This standard (RFC) contains a MIB that assists in managing the message processing and dispatching subsystem of an SNMP entity.
MgmtIETF RFC 3413Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) ApplicationsThis standard (RFC) includes MIBs that allow for the configuration and management of remote Targets, Notifications, and Proxys.
MgmtIETF RFC 3414User–based Security Model (USM) for version 3 of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMPv3)This standard (RFC) contains a MIB that assists in configuring and managing the user–based security model.
MgmtIETF RFC 3415View–based Access Control Model (VACM) for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)This standard (RFC) contains a MIB that supports the configuration and management of the View–based access control model of SNMP.
MgmtIETF RFC 3416Version 2 of the Protocol Operations for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)This standard (RFC) defines the message structure and protocol operations used by SNMPv3.
MgmtIETF RFC 3418Management Information Base (MIB) for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)This standard (RFC) defines the MIB to configure and manage an SNMP entity.
MgmtIETF RFC 4293Management Information Base for the Internet Protocol (IP)This standard (RFC) defines the MIB that manages an IP entity.
MgmtISO 21219–6Intelligent transport systems – Traffic and travel information via transport protocol experts group, generation 2(TPEG2) –– Part 6: Message management container (TPEG2–MMC)ISO 21219–6 adds a basic toolkit definition to the ISO 21219 series specifying the Message Management Container (MMC), which is used by all TPEG applications to provide information about the handling of messages on the TPEG client side. The MMC holds administrative information allowing a decoder to handle the message appropriately. This information is not aimed at the end user. The MMC is a toolkit and not a stand–alone application but is included in TPEG applications.
SecurityIETF RFC 5280Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure Certificate and Certificate Revocation List (CRL) ProfileThis standard (RFC) defines how to use X.509 certificates for secure communications over the Internet.
SecurityIETF RFC 8446The Transport Layer Security (TLS) ProtocolThis standard (RFC) specifies Version 1.3 of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. The TLS protocol provides communications security over the Internet. The protocol allows client/server applications to communicate in a way that is designed to prevent eavesdropping, tampering, or message forgery.
SecurityISO 21219–24Intelligent transport systems – Traffic and travel information (TTI) via transport protocol experts group, generation 2 (TPEG2) –– Part 24: Light encryption (TPEG2–LTE)ISO/TS 21219–24 defines the LTE encryption mechanism for TPEG Service Data Frames. It has been specifically designed for use with Business–to–Business (B2B) business models. The objective of this document is to provide a simple to use, yet effective Conditional Access mechanism for TPEG including encryption for use with both broadcast and/or point–to–point delivery. For both service providers and device manufacturers, a standardized conditional access mechanism is beneficial to avoid a proliferation of proprietary methods with multiplied implementation effort and lead times.
ITS Application EntityISO 21219–15Intelligent transport systems –– Traffic and travel information (TTI) via transport protocol experts group, generation 2 (TPEG2) –– Part 15: Traffic event compact (TPEG2–TEC)ISO/TS 21219–15 specifies the TPEG application: Traffic Event Compact. This application has been specifically designed to support information about traffic events (e.g. road works, traffic jams). A specific form of traffic events are local hazard warnings which, being safety–related messages, are sent with high priority to warn a driver that may encounter dangerous situations (e.g. black–ice, accident beyond curves, obstacles on road, etc.) unexpectedly.
FacilitiesNo Standard NeededNo Standard NeededThe services related to this portion of the stack are not critical within the scope of this solution.
TransNetIETF RFC 4291IP Version 6 Addressing ArchitectureThis standard (RFC) defines the addressing architecture of the IP Version 6 (IPv6) protocol. It includes the IPv6 addressing model, text representations of IPv6 addresses, definition of IPv6 unicast addresses, anycast addresses, and multicast addresses, and an IPv6 node's required addresses.
TransNetIETF RFC 4443Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMPv6) for the Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) SpecificationThis standard (RFC) defines the control messages to manage IPv6.
TransNetIETF RFC 8200Internet Protocol, Version 6This document specifies version 6 of the Internet Protocol (IPv6).
TransNetIETF RFC 9293Transmission Control ProtocolThis document specifies the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). TCP is an important transport–layer protocol in the Internet protocol stack, and it has continuously evolved over decades of use and growth of the Internet. Over this time, a number of changes have been made to TCP as it was specified in RFC 793, though these have only been documented in a piecemeal fashion. This document collects and brings those changes together with the protocol specification from RFC 793. This document obsoletes RFC 793, as well as RFCs 879, 2873, 6093, 6429, 6528, and 6691 that updated parts of RFC 793. It updates RFCs 1011 and 1122, and it should be considered as a replacement for the portions of those documents dealing with TCP requirements. It also updates RFC 5961 by adding a small clarification in reset handling while in the SYN–RECEIVED state. The TCP header control bits from RFC 793 have also been updated based on RFC 3168.
Access Internet Subnet AlternativesA set of alternative standards that includes any Subnet Layer method of connecting to the Internet.

Readiness: Moderate

Readiness Description

Two significant or one significant and several minor issues. For existing deployments, the chosen solution is likely deficient in security or management capabilities and the issues should be reviewed and upgrades developed as needed. For new deployments, the solution may be viable for pilots when applied to the triples it supports; such pilot deployments should consider a path to addressing these issues as a part of their design activities. The solution does not provide sufficient interoperability, management, and security to enable proper, full–scale deployment without additional work.
