Name of project: The analysis, design and implementation of the ETSI security architecture for global IN CS-2 systems

Partners: -

Funding: Sfr 386,688.-

Summary:
The international telecommunications community developed the Intelligent Network (IN) concept in an attempt to keep pace with the headlong development of voice, data and video services by the rapid creation of new services. As the ITU and ETSI standards are now moving towards the internetworking of systems in a multi-vendor environment, interdomain security is of growing importance. ETSI is in the process of developing a secure-architecture specification.

This project follows on from the SPP IF project by the same applicant, which was brought to a successful conclusion, and addresses security architecture on an industrial platform in a realtime environment by Tandem Computers.

Cooperation:
In the r3 security engineering company, the lead applicant brings to IN security the know-how from SPP IF as well as its knowledge from the standardization work with ETSI; the development lab of the partner Tandem Computers AG and that of its Swiss representative are contributing hardware and software as well as the experience of an IN manufacturer.
