5. Session conclusions
Although Zambia like most developing countries has limited capacity in addressing security challenges, reasonable progress has been achieved in putting in place the necessary institutional framework.
New security approaches are required in order to enable large scale deployment of IoT systems
Geneva, Switzerland, September 2014

6. SG 17 should consider organizing a special session to address security challenges related to mobile financial services
Strong collaboration between ITU and UPU on security is vital especially in areas such as secure and financial transactions
Geneva, Switzerland, September 2014

7. SG17 and IEC/TC57/WG15 should cooperate and share expertise on smart-grid security.
Security should be embedded in the system design in order to lower operational costs
Geneva, Switzerland, September 2014

8. Output on Objective-1
To identify key topics/requirements for ICT security (through presentations)
Need of stepping up “Authentication capabilities” for mobile on-line trust
Use of “light weight crypto” for connected cars and ITS security
Critical Infra Security – Energy sector
need for interoperability of secure enterprise mobility across providers
Identity Based Attestation and Open Exchange Protocol (IBOPS)
Big Data (BD) security and privacy
Geneva, Switzerland, September 2014

9. Output on Objective-2(cont.)
To explore the way to develop security standards in ITU-T (through the Round Table)
The authentication landscape is changing rapidly, and the ID-ecosystem is also changing. A new use case (requirement) is authentication/identification on demand. The work of the FIDO Alliance and OASIS TC IBOPS is to be looked at; and collaboration is suggested.
There is a need for a minimum level of security in the area of ITS and IoT environments. ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC27/WG2 is standardizing light-weight crypto and is seeking collaboration in terms of how to use such crypto.
Critical infrastructures are to be looked at. There is room for cooperation and standardization between military and civil. Government need standards on electronic signatures and e-IDs. ITU-T should consider standardization cooperation with European bodies (like ENISA).
Geneva, Switzerland, September 2014

10. Output on Objective-3(cont.)
To explore the way to develop security standards in ITU-T (through the Round Table)
ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC27 is doing work in data management and governance, and on secure data storage, also on data discovery, which are subject to standardization. Real-time security analytics for data management should be considered. ISO is doing a gap analysis on big data; there is an opportunity for collaboration with ITU-T (SG17).
TC 215 has developed several health informatics standards on such as on information governance, policy management etc., and to potentially work with ITU-T.
Geneva, Switzerland, September 2014

11. Output on Objective-4(cont.)
Summary:
Mobile security (Authentication) - FIDO Alliance and OASIS TC IBOPS
Utilization of light weight crypto for ITS & IoT – ISO/IEC JTC1/SC27 and others
Critical infrastructures - European bodies (like ENISA)
Big Data security & PII - ISO/IEC JTC1/SC27
health informatics - TC215
Geneva, Switzerland, September 2014

12. Outcomes Make standards less complex and more applicable
Create standards for the needs
Collaboration is the key
Standardization is very important to be in the same track

Geneva, Switzerland, September 2014

13. Operational experience and demand from the field are very important

ITU-D is a great opportunity for creating widely using standards by developing countries
Start a joint project with ITU-D to enhance the business use of standards
Geneva, Switzerland, September 2014

14. It will be very beneficial if the experts help countries to implement the standards
Encourage governments, organizastions, companies, and academia to participate
Geneva, Switzerland, September 2014
