Agenda V-RMTC Model System 3

Applications A standard V-RMTC Model system is composed by a suite of three applications, developed by Italian Navy: Client application (MERSIT Client v.3.4) manage and store data of each NOC, on a local PC deliver national reports to CINCNAV [Data Fusion Hub (DFH)] Converter (AIS-2-MERSIT v. 2.0) transform AIS data (NMEA 0183) into MERSIT or OTH-T Gold format Webserver application (Web Portal v.2009) allow DFH to receive Reports manage a common tracks database publish the common picture into a secure Website (https://), where a minor Information area is available.

MERSIT Client v.3.4 INTERNET MERSIT (MERchant vessels SITuation): formatted-message created to manage and store data of each NOC, on a local PC, and to deliver national reports to CINCNAV [Data Fusion Hub (DFH)] INTERNET OTH-Gold/AIS/XML/ XLS/MerSit (ARR-DEP-NAV) NAVAL OPS CENTER

MERSIT Client v.3.4 INTERNET MERSIT (MERchant vessels SITuation): following formatted reports, depending on National systems’ output, can be imported into the system by dedicated plug-in developed “ad-hoc” by MARITELE Roma: - .csv .ms .xls OTH–T-Gold Locator Sistram Oasis INTERNET OTH-Gold/AIS/XML/ XLS/MerSit (ARR-DEP-NAV) NAVAL OPS CENTER

AIS-2-MERSIT v.2.0 INTERNET NMEA 0183 MERSIT AIS2MERSIT AIS2GOLD INTERNET OTH-Gold/AIS/XML/ XLS/MerSit (ARR-DEP-NAV) THE VIRTUAL REGIONAL MARITIME TRAFFIC CENTRE (V-RMTC), ORIGINATED AS A PILOT PROJECT DURING THE FIFTH EDITION OF THE VENICE SYMPOSIUM, IS A PRACTICAL DEMONSTRATION OF SUCH A COMMON WILL TO COOPERATE AND TO ACTUALLY “TURN WORDS INTO ACTIONS”. AS A MATTER OF FACT, BY GATHERING A DIVERSIFIED COMMUNITY, THE V-RMTC IS ALSO A UNIQUE PARTNERSHIP BUILDING OPPORTUNITY FOR PARTICIPATING COUNTRIES. THE V-RMTC FOCUSES ON INFORMATION EXCHANGE ON MERCHANT SHIPPING INBOUND, OUTBOUND AND WITHIN THE MEDITERRANEAN AND BLACK SEAS. ON THE 20TH OF SEPTEMBER 2006, THE PROJECT ENTERED ITS FULL OPERATIONAL CAPABILITY PHASE. ON OCTOBER 12TH 2006, ACCORDING TO THE INTENTS REPORTED BY THE V-RMTC COMMUNITY MEMBERS, A DEDICATED SIGNING CEREMONY OF THE OPERATIONAL ARRANGEMENT WAS HELD DURING THE VENICE SYMPOSIUM. THIS EVENT, BESIDES ADDING VALUE TO THE SYMPOSIUM, CONFIRMED THE IMPORTANT ROLE OF COOPERATION & DIALOGUE TO ACHIEVE CONCRETE RESULTS FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF MARITIME SECURITY. ON THE WHOLE, 17 NAVIES SIGNED THE OPERATIONAL ARRANGEMENT. FURTHERMORE, (CLICK) GERMANY AND BULGARIA RECENTLY COMPLETED THE JOINING PROCESS, CLOSING 2007 WITH THE ADDITION OF TWO NEW MEMBERS TO THE V-RMTC WIDER COMMUNITY. AS A MATTER OF FACT, CONSIDERING THE ONGOING BILATERAL EXCHANGE WITH LEBANON AND THE SPECIAL V-RMTC NET ACTIVATED WITHIN THE 5+5, THE V-RMTC MODEL IS CURRENTLY ADOPTED BY 25 NAVIES.

Agenda PKI 30

PKI What is PKI: Public Key Infrastructure Comprehensive security technology and policies using cryptography and standards to enable users to: Identify (authenticate) themselves to network services Digitally sign email and other electronic docs and services Encrypt email and other documents to prevent unauthorized access

PKI What is a certificate: Signed data structure (x.509 standard) binds some information to a public key Trusted entity asserts validity of information in certificate, enforces policies for issuing certificates Certificate information is usually a personal identity or a server name Think of a certificate with its keys as an electronic: smart card, encoder/decoder ring, and official signet ring for sealing wax or notary-style stamp

PKI What is a certificate authority (CA): An organization that creates, publishes, and revokes certificates Verifies the information in the certificate Protects general security and policies of the system and its records Allows you to check certificates so you can decide whether to use them in business transactions CA = Certificate Authority RA = Registration Authority VA = Validation Authority

PKI Applications of PKI: Authentication and Authorization of Web users and servers This is the basis for the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols used to secure web connections using https Server authentication is common, user authentication getting started Secure e-mail (signed and encrypted) Electronic signatures Data encryption Business documents, databases, executable code Network data protection (VPN, wireless) Secure instant messaging

PKI PKI Solutions: Italian Navy IDs Voting Anonymous value exchange Transit ticketing Credit cards Identification (passports and drivers licenses) Notarization (contract, emails, etc.) Software distribution Symmetric key management

SMART Project SMART stands for Service-oriented infrastructure for MARitime Traffic tracking. It represents the spiral evolution of the V-RMTC, a virtual network conceived and developed by the Italian Navy, connecting Operational Centers of participating Navies to share unclassified information on merchant shipping vessels. SMART is dedicated to the collection, processing and redistribution of maritime traffic data, received from multiple and heterogeneous sources using different communication technologies and messaging formats. In accordance with the Dialog and Cooperation concepts, SMART: seeks new solutions to make V-RMTC more attractive and convenient for the Communities; allows the automatic sharing of information under a federative approach; anticipates the solutions that will be developed by the ITN Integrated Interagency Maritime Surveillance System (SIIMS), within the EU MARSUR project

SMART Project Objectives: Spiral evolution; Portfolio of integrated web based solutions; Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) based technology; OpenSource software; Share MSA data, gather from various sources and forms.

SMART Project Tracks Correlation is based on following processes: T1 (MaxVel) Tracks Correlation is based on following processes: T1 (MinVel) T0 Main Functionalities: Administration GIS Monitoring Statistics Data Normalization; Track Correlation based on the static DBs (IMO + MMSI, Vessel Name, Call Sign, vessel type); Track Correlation based on the semi-static DBs (MMSI, Voyage, Port of destination); Track Correlation based on the dynamic DBs (position, course, speed);
