1.  Introduction

   The Internet is being recognized as a critical infrastructure similar
   in nature to the power grid and a potable water supply.  Just like
   those infrastructures, means are needed to provide resiliency and
   adaptability to the Internet so that it remains consistently
   available to the public throughout the world even during times of
   duress or attack.  For this reason, many SDOs are developing
   standards with hopes of retaining an acceptable level, or even
   improving this availability, to its users.  These SDO efforts usually
   define themselves as "security" efforts.  It is the opinion of the
   authors that there are many different definitions of the term
   "security" and it may be applied in many diverse ways.  As such, we
   offer no assurance that the term is applied consistently throughout
   this document.

   Many of these SDOs have diverse charters and goals and will take
   entirely different directions in their efforts to provide standards.
   However, even with that, there will be overlaps in their produced
   works.  If there are overlaps then there is a potential for conflicts
   and confusion.  This may result in:

      Vendors of networking equipment who are unsure of which standard
      to follow.

      Purchasers of networking equipment who are unsure of which
      standard will best apply to the needs of their business or
      ogranization.

      Network Administrators and Operators unsure of which standard to
      follow to attain the best security for their network.

   For these reasons, the authors wish to encourage all SDOs who have an
   interest in producing or in consuming standards relating to good
   security practices to be consistent in their approach and their
   recommendations.  In many cases, the authors are aware that the SDOs
   are making good efforts along these lines.  However, the authors do
   not participate in all SDO efforts and cannot know everything that is
   happening.

   The OpSec Working Group met at the 61st IETF and agreed that this
   document could be a useful reference in producing the documents
   described in the Working Group Charter.  The authors have agreed to
   keep this document current and request that those who read it will
   submit corrections or comments.

   Comments on this document may be addressed to the OpSec Working Group
   or directly to the authors.

2.  Format of this Document

   The body of this document has three sections.

   The first part of the body of this document, Section 3, contains a
   listing of online glossaries relating to networking and security.  It
   is very important that the definitions of words relating to security
   and security events be consistent.  Inconsistencies between the
   useage of words on standards is unacceptable as it would prevent a
   reader of two standards to appropriately relate their
   recommendations.  The authors of this document have not reviewed the
   definitions of the words in the listed glossaries so can offer no
   assurance of their alignment.

   The second part, Section 4, contains a listing of SDOs that appear to
   be working on security standards.

   The third part, Section 5, lists the documents which have been found
   to offer good practices or recommendations for securing networks and
   networking devices.

   The text used in sections 3, 4, and 5 have been copied from their
   referring web sites.  The authors make no claim about the validity or
   accuracy of the information listed.

   appear to be developing security related standards.  These SDOs are
   listed in alphabetical order.

   Note: The authors would appreciate corrections and additions.  This
   note will be removed before publication as an RFC.

4.1.  3GPP - Third Generation Partnership Project

   http://www.3gpp.org/

   The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) unites [Six]
   telecommunications standards bodies, known as "Organizational
   Partners" and provides their members with a stable environment to
   produce the highly successful Reports and Specifications that define
   3GPP technologies.

4.2.  3GPP2 - Third Generation Partnership Project 2

   http://www.3gpp2.org/

   The Third Generation Partnership Project 2 (3GPP2) is:

      a collaborative third generation (3G) telecommunications
      specifications-setting project

      comprising North American and Asian interests developing global
      specifications for ANSI/TIA/EIA-41 Cellular Radiotelecommunication
      Intersystem Operations network evolution to 3G

      and global specifications for the radio transmission technologies
      (RTTs) supported by ANSI/TIA/EIA-41.

   3GPP2 was born out of the International Telecommunication Union's
   (ITU) International Mobile Telecommunications "IMT-2000" initiative,
   covering high speed, broadband, and Internet Protocol (IP)-based
   mobile systems featuring network-to-network interconnection, feature/
   service transparency, global roaming and seamless services
   independent of location.  IMT-2000 is intended to bring high-quality
   mobile multimedia telecommunications to a worldwide mass market by
   achieving the goals of increasing the speed and ease of wireless
   communications, responding to the problems faced by the increased
   demand to pass data via telecommunications, and providing "anytime,
   anywhere" services.

5.4.  DMTF - Security Modeling Working Group

   http://www.dmtf.org/sites/default/files/SecurityWGCharter.pdf

   The Security Modeling Working Group of the Schema Subcommittee is
   responsible for developing the models and profiles required to
   provide interoperable security management interfaces for
   implementations, including the enabling of configuration and
   management of authentication, authorization, and auditing services.

   The operational security requirements for protocols and management
   initiatives are not addressed by this work group and should be
   addressed by the working groups responsible for them.  Management of
   the underlying security capabilities utilized by such protocols and
   initiatives are addressed by this work group, (for example:
   interfaces for the management of keys and certificates).

5.5.  Common Criteria

   http://www.commoncriteriaportal.org/

   The Common Criteria for Information Technology Security Evaluation
   (CC), and the companion Common Methodology for Information Technology
   Security Evaluation (CEM) are the technical basis for an
   international agreement, the Common Criteria Recognition Agreement
   (CCRA), which ensures that:

      Products can be evaluated by competent and independent licensed
      laboratories so as to determine the fulfilment of particular
      security properties, to a certain extent or assurance;

      Supporting documents, are used within the Common Criteria
      certification process to define how the criteria and evaluation
      methods are applied when certifying specific technologies;

      The certification of the security properties of an evaluated
      product can be issued by a number of Certificate Authorizing
      Schemes, with this certification being based on the result of
      their evaluation;

      These certificates are recognized by all the signatories of the
      CCRA.

   The CC is the driving force for the widest available mutual

   http://portal.etsi.org/ocgsecurity/OCG_security_ToR.asp

   The group's primary role is to provide a light-weight horizontal co-
   ordination structure for security issues that will ensure this work
   is seriously considered in each ETSI TB and that any duplicate or
   conflicting work is detected.  To achieve this aim the group should
   mainly conduct its work via email and, where appropriate, co-sited
   "joint security" technical working meetings.

5.7.  Operational Security Requirements for IP Network Infrastructure :
      Advanced Requirements

   IETF RFC 3871

   Abstract: This document defines a list of operational security
   requirements for the infrastructure of large ISP IP networks (routers
   and switches).  A framework is defined for specifying "profiles",
   which are collections of requirements applicable to certain network
   topology contexts (all, core-only, edge-only...).  The goal is to
   provide network operators a clear, concise way of communicating their
   security requirements to vendors.

   The ICT Security Standards Roadmap
   http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/studygroups/com17/ict/index.html

   This ICT Security Standards Roadmap has been developed to assist in
   the development of security standards by bringing together
   information about existing standards and current standards work in
   key standards development organizations.

   In addition to aiding the process of standards development, the
   Roadmap will provide information that will help potential users of
   security standards, and other standards stakeholders, gain an
   understanding of what standards are available or under development as
   well as the key organizations that are working on these standards.

   The Roadmap was initiated by ITU-T Study Group 17.  In January 2007
   the initiative became a collaborative effort when the European
   Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA) and the Network and
   Information Security Steering Group (NISSG) joined Study Group 17 in
   the project.

   The Roadmap is in five parts:

   Part 1: ICT Standards Development Organizations and Their Work
   http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/studygroups/com17/ict/part01.html

   Part 1 contains information about the Roadmap structure and about
   each of the listed standards organizations, their structure and the
   security standards work being undertaken.  In addition it contains
   information on terminology by providing links to existing security
   glossaries and vocabularies.

   Part 2: Approved ICT Security Standards
   http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/studygroups/com17/ict/part02.html

   Part 2 contains a summary catalogue of approved standards.

   Part 3: Security standards under development
   http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/studygroups/com17/ict/part03.html

   Part 3 is structured with the same taxonomy as Part 2 but contains
   work in progress, rather than standards that have already been
   approved and published.  Part 3 will also contain information on
   inter-relationships between groups undertaking the work and on
   potential overlaps between existing projects.

   Part 4: Future needs and proposed new security standards
   http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/studygroups/com17/ict/part04.html

   Part 4 is intended to capture possible future areas of security
   standards work where gaps or needs have been identified as well as
   areas where proposals have been made for specific new standards work.

   Part 4 includes provision for direct feedback, comments and
   suggestions.

   Part 5: Best practices
   http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/studygroups/com17/ict/part05.html

   Part 5 is a recent addition to the Roadmap (May 2007).  It is
   intended to be a repository of security-related best practices
   contributed by our community of members.

   This section will be based on contributions from the security
   community.

   Where possible contributions should refer to best practices relating
   to standards-based security but other best practices will be
   considered for inclusion.

   It is important to note that the Roadmap is a work-in-progress.  It
   is intended that it be developed and enhanced to include other
   standards organizations as well as a broader representation of the
   work from organizations already included.  It is hoped that standards
   organizations whose work is not represented in this version of the
   Roadmap will provide information to ITU-T about their work so that it
   may be included in future editions.

   In May 2007, Part 2 of the Roadmap was converted to a searchable
   database format that allows direct links to the information of
   participating standards organizations.  The database format will
   allow each participating organization to manage its own data within
   the Roadmap.  This will enable more timely updating of the
   information and will also reduce the overhead in maintaining the
   information.

5.15.  NIST Special Publications (800 Series)

   http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/PubsSPs.html

   Special Publications in the 800 series present documents of general
   interest to the computer security community.  The Special Publication
   800 series was established in 1990 to provide a separate identity for
   information technology security publications.  This Special
   Publication 800 series reports on ITL's research, guidelines, and
   outreach efforts in computer security, and its collaborative
   activities with industry, government, and academic organizations.

5.16.  NIST Interagency or Internal Reports (NISTIRs)

   http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/PubsNISTIRs.html

   NIST Interagency or Internal Reports (NISTIRs) describe research of a
   technical nature of interest to a specialized audience.  The series
   includes interim or final reports on work performed by NIST for
   outside sponsors (both government and nongovernment).  NISTIRs may
   also report results of NIST projects of transitory or limited
   interest, including those that will be published subsequently in more
   comprehensive form.

5.17.  NIST ITL Security Bulletins

   http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/PubsITLSB.html

   ITL Bulletins are published by NIST's Information Technology
   Laboratory, with most bulletins written by the Computer Security
   Division.  These bulletins are published on the average of six times
   a year.  Each bulletin presents an in-depth discussion of a single
   topic of significant interest to the information systems community.
   Not all of ITL Bulletins that are published relate to computer /
   network security.  Only the computer security ITL Bulletins are found
   here.

   different categories

   Most of the computer security white papers in the Reading Room have
   been written by students seeking GIAC certification to fulfill part
   of their certification requirements and are provided by SANS as a
   resource to benefit the security community at large.  SANS attempts
   to ensure the accuracy of information, but papers are published "as
   is".  Errors or inconsistencies may exist or may be introduced over
   time as material becomes dated.
