Cybersecurity/Network and Information security

Collaboration and coordination among all stakeholders are critical to secure the cloud platform. The current gap is that there is no defined guideline dividing the security roles and responsibilities between the Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) and Cloud customers; on how to secure Cloud services in different Cloud deployment models. This is especially the case for those who have little cloud security knowledge. This WG aims to develop guidelines for CSPs to secure its Cloud platform and provide Cloud security services to Cloud users; for Cloud users to select security qualified CSPs; for security vendors to develop their Cloud-based security products and services. Subsequently, this WG hopes to develop a platform for CSPs to publish their security requirements; for security vendors to share their security products and services, and to provide a platform for interoperability testing.

The Mobile Application Security Testing (MAST) initiative aims to create a safer cloud ecosystem for mobile applications by creating systematic approaches to application testing and vetting that helps integrate and introduce quality control and compliance to mobile application development and management. This initiative hopes that more research into mobile application security vetting and testing will help reduce the risk and security threats that organizations and individuals expose themselves to using mobile applications. Implementation of MAST will result in clearly articulated recommendations and best practices in the use of mobile applications. Mobile application security testing and vetting processes utilized through MAST involve both static and dynamic analyses to evaluate security issues of mobile applications for platforms such as Android, iOS and Windows.

The Permissions Standard defines common infrastructure for other specifications that need to interact with browser permissions. It also defines an API to allow web applications to query and request changes to the status of a given permission.

This Technical Report provides guidance and criteria for the security evaluation of operational systems. It provides an extension to the scope of ISO/IEC 15408, by taking into account a number of critical aspects of operational systems not addressed in ISO/IEC 15408 evaluation. The principal extensions that are required address evaluation of the operational environment surrounding the target of evaluation, and the decomposition of complex operational systems into security domains that can be separately evaluated.

This document provides guidance relating to the construction of Protection Profiles (PPs) and Security Targets (STs) that are intended to be compliant with the third edition of ISO/IEC 15408 (all parts). It is also applicable to PPs and STs compliant with Common Criteria Version 3.1 Revision 4[6], a technically identical standard published by the Common Criteria Management Board, a consortium of governmental organizations involved in IT security evaluation and certification.

ISO/IEC 19790:2012 the security requirements for a cryptographic module utilised within a security system protecting sensitive information in computer and telecommunication systems. This International Standard defines four security levels for cryptographic modules to provide for a wide spectrum of data sensitivity (e.g. low value administrative data, million dollar funds transfers, life protecting data, personal identity information, and sensitive information used by government) and a diversity of application environments (e.g. a guarded facility, an office, removable media, and a completely unprotected location).

This document specifies cryptographic secret sharing schemes.

ISO/IEC 19592 (all parts) specifies cryptographic secret sharing schemes and their properties. This document defines the parties involved in a secret sharing scheme, the terminology used in the context of secret sharing schemes, the parameters and the properties of such a scheme.

This document specifies security and protection of personally identifiable information components, SLOs and SQOs for cloud service level agreements (cloud SLA) including requirements and guidance.

This part of ISO/IEC 18370 specifies blind digital signature mechanisms, together with mechanisms for three variants of blind digital signatures. The variants are blind digital signature mechanisms with partial disclosure, blind digital signature mechanisms with selective disclosure and traceable blind digital signature mechanisms. The security of all the mechanisms in this part of ISO/IEC 18370 is based on the discrete logarithm problem.

This International Standard is a companion document to the evaluation criteria for IT security defined in ISO/IEC 15408. It defines the minimum actions to be performed by an evaluator in order to conduct an ISO/IEC 15408 evaluation, using the criteria and evaluation evidence defined in ISO/IEC 15408.

This part of ISO/IEC 18033 specifies identity-based encryption mechanisms. For each mechanism the functional interface, the precise operation of the mechanism, and the ciphertext format are specified. However, conforming systems may use alternative formats for storing and transmitting ciphertexts.
