Helping the World to Communicate Geographically Agenda What do I mean by Security? Typical Requirements and Standards OGC Security and GeoRM Working Groups OGC Interoperability Initiatives Conclusion and upcoming activities

Helping the World to Communicate Geographically Context For This Talk Target to be secured is a Distributed System –for exchanging / processing of geospatial information –implemented by (but not limited to) OGC Web Services One mandatory and one optional Threat Model –Internet Threat Model –Browser (Client) Threat Model In this context, Security refers to –communication between entities –trust between entities / parties –protection of assets Security and the Open Geospatial Consortium

Helping the World to Communicate Geographically Security – What Do I Mean By That? For the system itself: secure systems will control, through use of specific security features, access to information such that only properly authorized individuals, or processes operating on their behalf, will have access to read, write, create, or delete information. [TCSEC]* For a distributed system: the distributed property is a characteristic of the system that shall not have any influence on the definition above. Security and the Open Geospatial Consortium

Helping the World to Communicate Geographically Security Relies On Requirements Trusted Computer System Evaluation Criteria –Policy, Marking, Identification, Accountability, Assurance, Continuous Protection –Evaluation Classes: D (lowest), C, B, A (highest) C: Discretionary Access Rights Management, Identity based AC B: Mandatory Access Rights Management, Context based AC ISO Security and the Open Geospatial Consortium –1: Overview –2: Authentication FW –3: Access Control FW –4: Non-Repudiation FW –5: Confidentiality FW –6: Integrity FW –7: Security Audits and Alarms FW

Helping the World to Communicate Geographically The Interoperability Issue Exchanging and processing of geospatial Information in a federation requires interoperability on different levels: –Data Level Interoperability ensures the ability to consume the information –Service Level Interoperability ensures the ability to exchange / obtain the information to be consumed –Security Level Interoperability ensures the ability to the above in a reliable and trustworthy fashion Implementation of all levels can be done by using standards from the OGC and other bodies Establishing secure communication –Network level –Application level Security and the Open Geospatial Consortium

Helping the World to Communicate Geographically Security Standards Security and the Open Geospatial Consortium This is an OGC Standard!
