Recommendation ITU-T X.1364 analyses potential deployment schemes and typical application scenarios for narrowband Internet of things (NB-IoT). It specifies security threats and requirements specific to the NB-IoT deployments and establishes a security framework for the operator to safeguard new NB-IoT technology applications. Current developments in telecommunication technology in the mobile communication domain, are leading to changes in communication patterns from person-to-person to person-to-thing and thing-to-thing, making inevitable the evolution to the Internet of things. Compared to short distance communication technologies such as Bluetooth, ZigBee and others, cellular mobile networks characterized by wide coverage, mobility and extensive connections that bring richer application scenarios will become the main interconnection technology of IoT. NB-IoT is based on cellular mobile network technology, using a bandwidth of approximately only 180 KHz. It may be deployed on global system for mobile communication (GSM) networks, universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS) networks or long-term evolution (LTE) networks directly to reduce costs and achieve a smooth upgrade. Based on its low power dissipation, wide coverage, low cost and high capacity, NB-IoT is expected to be massively adopted by operators with wide application in multiple vertical industries. As a new technology, NB-IoT has its own characteristics that may bring new security issues. In order to ensure security of NB-IoT deployments and applications, security threats and relevant security requirements specific to NB-IoT need to be analysed and an overall security framework for NB-IoT needs to be established.

The Recommendation X.1044 analyses security challenges and threats on Network Virtualization, and provides the security requirements on physical resources layer, virtual resources layer and LINP layer in Network Virtualization (NV).

OpenFog Consortium--OpenFog Reference Architecture for Fog Computing is adopted by this standard. OpenFog Reference Architecture [OPFRA001.020817] is a structural and functional prescription of an open, interoperable, horizontal system architecture for distributing computing, storage, control and networking functions closer to the users along a cloud-to-thing continuum of communicating, computing, sensing and actuating entities. It encompasses various approaches to disperse Information Technology (IT), Communication Technology (CT) and Operational Technology (OT) Services through information messaging infrastructure as well as legacy and emerging multi-access networking technologies

Vehicle to Vehicle Communications (V2V) standard for Unmanned Aircraft Systems defines the protocol for exchanging information between the vehicles. The information exchange will facilitate beyond line of sight (BLOS) and beyond radio line of sight (BRLOS) communications. The information exchanged between the aircraft may be for the purpose of command, control, and navigation or for any application specific purpose.

This standard specifies the taxonomy and definitions for connected and automated vehicles.

Recommendation ITU-T X.1040 analyses the main features and typical threats faced by e‑commerce service ecosystems, and provides a security reference architecture for lifecycle management of e-commerce business data.

SAML is an XML-based framework for exchanging security information. This security information is expressed in the form of assertions about subjects, where a subject is an entity (either human or computer) that has an identity in some security domain. A single assertion might contain several different internal statements about authentication, authorization and attributes. This Recommendation defines a protocol by which clients can request assertions from SAML authorities and get a response from them. This protocol, consisting of XML-based request and response message formats, can be bound to many different underlying communications and transport protocols; SAML currently defines one binding to SOAP over HTTP. In creating their responses, SAML authorities can use various sources of information, such as external policy stores and assertions that were received as input in requests. This Recommendation defines SAML assertions elements, subjects, conditions, processing rules and statements. Additionally, it develops a comprehensive SAML metadata profile that includes associated namespace, common data types, processing rules and signature processing. Several protocol bindings such as SOAP, PAOS (reverse SOAP), HTTP redirect, HTTP POST, among others, are also developed. This Recommendation provides a comprehensive list of SAML profiles such as web browser SSO profile and single logout profile to enable the wide adoption of SAML 2.0 in the industry. Guidelines for authentication context and conformance are also provided.This Recommendation is technically equivalent and compatible with the OASIS SAML 2.0 standard.

The document is a technical report capturing the study on application architecture for enabling edge applications over 3GPP networks. The aspects of the study include identifying architecture requirements (e.g. discovery of edge services, authentication of the clients), supporting application layer functional model and corresponding solutions to enable the deployment of applications on the edge of 3GPP networks, with no impact to edge-unaware applications on the UE and minimal impact to edge-aware applications on the UE.

The present document focuses on the UE Identity functionality. It describes the related application policy information (including authorization, access control and traffic rule pattern format), information flows, required information and service aggregation patterns. The present document specifies the necessary API, data model and data format, considering existing API(s) if applicable.

The document focuses on the MEC Location Service. It describes the related application policy information including authorization and access control, information flows, required information and service aggregation patterns. The document specifies the necessary API with the data model and data format. It is to be noted that the actual data model and data format which is functional for the present API re-uses the definitions in "RESTful Network API for Zonal Presence" and "RESTful Network API for Terminal Location" published by the Open Mobile Alliance.

The present document specifies a conformance assessment methodology for consumer IoT devices, their relation to associated services and corresponding relevant processes against ETSI TS 103 645 / ETSI EN 303 645, addressing the mandatory and recommended provisions as well as conditions and complements ETSI TS 103 645 / ETSI EN 303 645 by defining test cases and assessment criteria for each provision.

The document focuses on the support of regulatory requirements for Lawful Interception (LI) and Retained Data (RD) when implementing MEC into the network. It describes the problems, constraints, interfaces and additional capabilities needed for the different deployment scenarios, to ensure full support of LI and RD regulatory requirements when implementing MEC.
