Liaison statement
Information on standardization of application security requirements, services and mechanisms

Abstract
Q11/4 is responsible for Recommendations in the M.3016 series, considering
security of the management plane. An important consideration is the security
of management applications and services themselves (the software which
provides management functions). Application security (how to ensure that the
software performing management functions is secure and correct rather than
just the interfaces and protocols) is an important security feature. This may
include digital signatures, trusted computing, and other initiatives.
Action
Q11/4 would like to use relevant security standards for the security of
management applications and requests information from relevant security
standardization organizations on work in this area.
