TUF - Secure Wireless Internet (ITS)

Description:

This solution is used within the U.S.. It combines standards associated with TUF with those for I-M: Secure Wireless Internet (ITS). The TUF standards include upper-layer standards required to install and update application software. 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

Solution Issues:

Default	Severity	Name	Type	Description
True	Low	Not a standard (minor)	Standardization Gap	The document is publicly available and widely used but it is not currently a formal standard.
True	Medium	Unvetted by community	Standardization Gap	The proposed solution uses a suite of standards that is accepted within some communities, but has not necessarily been accepted for use within the context of this information triple.
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.
