Terms of Reference
Current: Responsible for studies relating to security including
cybersecurity, countering spam and identity management. Also
responsible for the application of open system communications
including directory and object identifiers, and for technical languages,
the method for their usage and other issues related to the software
aspects of telecommunication systems.
Future perspective: Responsible for building confidence and security
in the use of Information and Communication Technologies
(ICTs). This includes studies relating to cybersecurity, security
management, countering spam and identity management. It also
includes security architecture and framework, protection of personally
identifiable information, and security of applications and services for the
Internet of Things, smart grid, smartphone, IPTV, web services, social
network, cloud computing, mobile financial system, and telebiometrics.
Also responsible for the application of open system communications
including directory and object identifiers, and for technical languages,
the method for their usage and other issues related to the software
aspects of telecommunication systems, and for conformance testing to
improve quality of Recommendations.

Future Perspective of SG17 (I)
ICT security - Cloud computing security Cybersecurity
SG17s work on security has had continued and remarkable
growth throughout this study period resulting in a centre of
excellence a core competency in security.

Cybersecurity is one of the top priorities of the ITU, it is
critical that this centre of security competence in ITU-T be
nurtured and enhanced, and not fragmented.

SG17 pioneered cloud computing security within ITU-T and
takes a leading role for cloud computing security.
Keep Q.H/17 as competence centre on cloud computing
security within SG17 continue coordinating with SG13 on
cloud computing (via JCA-Cloud).

Future Perspective of SG17 (II)
ICT security
Information Security Management Identity Management
The work on security in SG17 (including generic security
architecture, mechanisms and management guidelines for
heterogeneous networks/systems/services) needs to be
continued and there needs to be a lead study group for
security to coordinate within the ITU and with other SDOs.
new emerging security technologies such as cloud computing, smart grid,
intelligent transportation systems, Internet-of-Things, IPTV security, IPv6
security, technical measures to protect the personally identifiable
information (PII) of citizens as well as technical measures to protect
children online all demand new approaches to security and novel security
concepts to adequately address the inherent the crucial security threats in
those technologies
IdM plays such a critical role in building confidence and
security in the use of ICTs, it is essential that this work be
integral to the ITU-T security centre of competence, including
being the lead study group for this issue to coordinate within
ITU and with other SDOs.

Questions Structure LSG Projects - JCAs
SG17 proposed 12 Questions for the next study period.
All Questions continue with two consolidations:
R/17: Generic technologies to support secure applications
(Continuation of Q11/17, Q12/17, Q15/17 and ODP part of
Q13/17) shall remain in SG17.
S/17: Formal languages for telecommunication software and
testing (Continuation of Q14/17 and part of Q13/17).
Testing methodologies and JCA-CIT should stay within SG17
Q14/17 has close links to the other language Questions and is
independent of any particular application domain.
Formal languages portion of Q.S/17 should remain in SG17.
Associated with this work should be lead study group responsibilities
for Security, Identity management, and Languages and description
techniques.
Security and ASN.1 & OID Projects as well as JCA-IdM,
JCA-COP, and JCA-CIT need to continue given their important
contributions.

period to maintain well above 155 participants.
SG17 has successfully transitioned to security as its
main focus with a core set of security experts.
Within security work, has significantly build-up
participation and energy in Identity Management,
Cybersecurity and Cloud Computing Security.
SG17 has build strong relations with other key
bodies working on security and initiated numerous
collaborative efforts.
SG17 has promoted and disseminated ITU-T
security work (e.g., workshops, security manual,
security roadmap); its achievements are well
recognized.

ASN.1 and OID Project
The SG17 ASN.1 & OID project continues to assist:
Existing users of ASN.1 and object identifiers (OID), within and outside of
ITU-T (e.g., ITU-T SG 16, ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 27, ISO TC 215, 3GPP, etc.).
Countries (e.g., Bangladesh, Canada, Islamic Republic of Iran,
Liechtenstein, Oman, Republic of Panama, Tunisia, Ukraine, Uruguay), and
in particular developing countries, in setting a national registration
authority for OIDs.
This project provided speakers and tutorial material, and
coordinates the provision of tool support to users and the
contents of related websites.
In cooperation with the TSB, a database is being maintained
that contains a machine-processable copy of the current
version of all ASN.1 modules that are included in ITU-T
Recommendations.
Database: http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/asn1/database (>800 modules)
A handbook on OIDs and their registration authorities was
completed and a flyer on OIDs was produced.
OID Repository: http://www.oid-info.com (>643000 OIDs).
