DOCUMENT #:GSC15-PLEN-26 FOR:Presentation SOURCE: ATIS AGENDA ITEM: PLEN 6.4 CONTACT(S): James McEachern ATIS Identity Management Standards Development James McEachern, NA Standards Director, GENBAND Global Standards Collaboration (GSC) GSC-15

2 Highlight of Current Activities (1) ATIS’ Packet Technologies and Systems Committee (PTSC) is actively developing the following IdM-related standards:  Identity Management (IdM) Use Cases for NGN Deliverable: ATIS NGN IdM Use Cases Technical Report  Derives informative examples illustrating NGN IdM capabilities, functions and concepts. Use Cases will be used to derive and specify requirements.  Target Date: 4Q 2010  Identity Management (IdM) Requirements for NGN Deliverable: ATIS NGN IdM Requirements Standard  Develops NGN IdM system requirements (based on the high-level trust model), security requirements, and interoperability requirements based on Use Cases (above).  Target Date: 4Q 2010

3  Identity Management (IdM) Use Cases and Requirements for Service Provider Identity (SPID) Deliverable: ATIS IdM SPID Use Cases and Requirements Standard  Describes use cases to illustrate service scenarios where SPID is utilized, including assumptions on security, authentication, and discovery. SPID requirements are derived from these Use Cases.  Existing mechanisms and encoding formats are being examined for applicability and gaps.  Target Date: 4Q 2010  Identity Management (IdM) Mechanisms for NGN Deliverable: ATIS NGN IdM Mechanisms Standard  Describes a set of IdM mechanisms and suites of options that should be used to satisfy the ATIS IdM Requirements Standard.  Gaps in existing mechanisms are identified in order to meet the requirements.  Target Date: 4Q 2010 Highlight of Current Activities (2)

4 Highlight of Current Activities (3) PTSC recently completed:  Identity Management (IdM) Framework for NGN Deliverable: ATIS NGN IdM Framework Standard  Describes the fundamental concepts associated with NGN IdM (including threats and risks), defines NGN IdM entities, their roles, and the interactions among them within the IdM trust model, and specifies relationships between the IdM trust model and NGN interfaces for interoperability.  Completed as ATIS

5 Strategic Direction  Define value added use cases that will derive requirements  Continue to support government services (e.g., ETS, e-commerce)  Leverage User-Centric solutions where possible, while identifying deltas to meet the needs of NGN providers NGN service providers need to address both real-time and near-real time applications Solution for real-time applications (e.g., exchange of IdM information for SIP communication sessions) would be distinct  Provide structured and standard means to discover and exchange identity information across network domains/federations Bridge different technology dependent systems including existing network infrastructure systems (e.g., use of existing resources such as Line Information DataBase (LIDB) where appropriate) Address new and emerging applications and services (e.g., IPTV and convergence) IPTV Downloadable Security, including key management, certificate authority, and authorization Address unique security needs

6 Challenges  Un-trusted identity information as a result of migration to IP packet networks, emergence of new service providers (e.g., 3 rd party providers) and other changes over the past decade (e.g., smart terminals, and an open internet environment) Historically, trusted information was provided by closed and fixed network environment operating under regulatory conditions Changes to the trust model are resulting in operations, accounting, settlements, security and infrastructure protection problems  Overcoming silo solutions User-centric model focusing on web services and electronic commerce Available standards focus mainly on web services (e.g., OASIS, WS*, Liberty, SAML) and human identities Vendor specific solutions/products (e.g., Microsoft Cardspace, PayPal, iNames) Impact of Kantara Initiative needs to be assessed

7 Next Steps/Actions  Continue to leverage User-Centric IdM solutions Avoid duplication and redundancy  Leverage, use, enhance and adapt existing work and technology solutions where appropriate managed networks  Enhance and customize existing IP/web services capabilities and work of other industry groups (e.g., Liberty Alliance, Kantara, OASIS, 3GPP, ITU-T) as appropriate Allow for the use of existing (e.g., LIDB) and new (e.g., IPTV) resources and capabilities  Continue to solicit IdM Use Case/Requirements inputs from all ATIS committees  Contribute ATIS IdM requirements and mechanisms to the ITU-T to obtain global solutions

8 Proposed Resolution  No changes proposed to existing Resolution (GSC-14/4) at this time.

9 Supplemental Slides

10 Identity Management (IdM)  Identity Management (IdM) involves secure management of the identity life cycle and the exchange of identity information (e.g., identifiers, attributes and assertions) based on applicable policy of entities such as:  Users/groups  Organizations/federations/enterprise/service providers  Devices/network elements/systems  Objects (Application Process, Content, Data)

11 Value Added for NGN Provider  Dynamic/automatic IdM means between multiple partners (e.g., end users, visited and home networks) reduce costs (compared to pair- wise arrangements) compared to pair-wise arrangements to Establish service arrangements Exchange identity information Exchange policy information and enforce policy  Enabler of new applications and services (e.g., IPTV and convergence) including identity services  Leverage existing and expanding customer base  Common IdM infrastructure enables support of multiple applications and services  Enables standard API and data schema for application design multi-vendor/platforms solutions inter-network/federations interoperability Security protection of application services, network infrastructure and resources

12 Value Added for the User  Privacy/user control Protection of Personal Identifiable Information [PPII] Ability to control who is allowed access (i.e., providing consent) to personal information and how it is used  Ease of use and single sign-on / sign-off (multiple application/services across multiple service providers/federations)  Enabler of Social Networking  Security (e.g., confidence of transactions, and Identity (ID) Theft protection)

13 Government Motivations  Infrastructure Protection (i.e., against cyber threats)  Protection of Global Interests (e.g., business and commerce)  Provide assurance capabilities (e.g., trusted assertions about digital identities [credentials, identifiers, attributes and reputations]) to enable  National Security/Emergency Preparedness (NS/EP)  Early Warning Services  Electronic Government (eGovernment) Services (e.g., web-based transactions)  Public Safety Services (e.g., Emergency 911 services)  Law Enforcement Services (e.g., Lawful Interceptions)  National/Homeland Security  Intelligence Services
