Uptane - Secure Wireless Internet (ITS)

Description:

This solution is used within Canada and the U.S.. It combines standards associated with Uptane with those for I-M: Secure Wireless Internet (ITS). The Uptane standards include upper-layer standards required to update software in a vehicle according to the Uptane standards. The I-M: Secure Wireless Internet (ITS) standards include lower-layer standards that support secure communications between two entities, either or both of which may be mobile devices, but they must be stationary or only moving within wireless range of a single wireless access point (e.g., a parked car). Security is based on X.509 or IEEE 1609.2 certificates. A non-mobile (if any) endpoint may connect to the service provider using any Internet connection method.

Solution Issues Severity: 4

The severity issue score calculation only includes issues associated with standards that are included by default.

Solution Issues:

Default Severity Name Type Description
True Low Use case not considered in design (minor) ITS Info Gap While the indicated standards nominally address the information flow, the design may not meet practical constraints because this particular use case was not the focus of the design effort.
True Medium Outdated security reference Security Gap The standard solution includes an outdated security reference.
False Medium Option not standardized Standardization Gap The option set includes at least one option that is not (yet) defined in a standard.
False Medium Overlap of standards Overlap Multiple standards have been developed to address this information and it is unclear which standard should be used to address this specific information flow.
False Medium Regulatory Permission Needed Standardization Gap Deployment of this standard requires regulatory approval, which is currently subject to significant delays.
False Medium Uncertainty about trust revocation mechanism Security Gap The mechanisms used to prevent bad actors from sending authorized messages is unproven.
False High Regulatory Issue Standardization Gap Deployment of this standard is subject to regulatory approval, which is not currently expected to be granted for deployments in the near-term.
