<section anchor="intro" title="Introduction">
<t>
The Internet is being recognized as a critical infrastructure similar in nature to
the power grid and a potable water supply. Just like those infrastructures, means are
needed to provide resiliency and adaptability to the Internet so that it remains
consistently available to the public throughout the world even during times of
duress or attack. For this reason, many SDOs are
developing standards with hopes of retaining an acceptable level, or even improving
this availability, to its users.
These SDO efforts usually define themselves as "security" efforts. It is the opinion
of the authors that there are many different definitions of the term "security" and
it may be applied in many diverse ways. As such, we offer no assurance that the
term is applied consistently throughout this document.
</t>
<t>
Many of these SDOs have diverse charters and goals and will take entirely different
directions in their efforts to provide standards. However, even with that, there
will be overlaps in their produced works. If there are overlaps then there is a
potential for conflicts and confusion. This may result in:
<list>
<t>
Vendors of networking equipment who are unsure of which standard to follow.
</t>
<t>
Purchasers of networking equipment who are unsure of which standard will
best apply to the needs of their business or ogranization.
</t>
<t>
Network Administrators and Operators unsure of which standard to follow
to attain the best security for their network.
</t>
</list>
For these reasons, the authors wish to encourage all SDOs who have an interest
in producing or in consuming standards relating to good security practices to
be consistent in their approach and their recommendations. In many cases, the
authors are aware that the SDOs are making good efforts along these lines.
However, the authors do not participate in all SDO efforts and cannot know
everything that is happening.

<t>
The OpSec Working Group met at the 61st IETF and agreed that this document
could be a useful reference in producing the documents described in the
Working Group Charter. The authors have agreed to keep this document current
and request that those who read it will submit corrections or comments.

<t>
The body of this document has three sections.
</t>
<t>
The first part of the body of this document, <xref target="glossaries" />,
contains a listing of online glossaries relating to networking
and security. It is very important that the definitions of words relating to
security and security events be consistent. Inconsistencies between the useage
of words on standards is unacceptable as it would prevent a reader of two
standards to appropriately relate their recommendations. The authors of this
document have not reviewed the definitions of the words in the listed glossaries
so can offer no assurance of their alignment.
</t>
<t>
The second part, <xref target="sdo" />, contains a listing of SDOs
that appear to be working on security standards.
</t>
<t>
The third part, <xref target="docs" />, lists the documents which have been found to offer good practices
or recommendations for securing networks and networking devices.

"The Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) promotes the development and deployment of interoperable networking solutions and services through the creation of Implementation Agreements (IAs) for optical networking products, network processing elements, and component technologies. Implementation agreements will be based on requirements developed cooperatively by end-users, service providers, equipment vendors and technology providers, and aligned with worldwide standards, augmented if necessary. This is accomplished through industry member participation working together to develop specifications (IAs) for:
<list><t>
External network element interfaces
</t><t>
Software interfaces internal to network elements
</t><t>
Hardware component interfaces internal to network elements

The ICT Security Standards Roadmap http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/studygroups/com17/ict/index.html
</t><t>
This ICT Security Standards Roadmap has been developed to assist in the development of security standards by bringing together information about existing standards and current standards work in key standards development organizations.
</t><t>
In addition to aiding the process of standards development, the Roadmap will provide information that will help potential users of security standards, and other standards stakeholders, gain an understanding of what standards are available or under development as well as the key organizations that are working on these standards.
</t><t>
The Roadmap was initiated by ITU-T Study Group 17. In January 2007 the initiative became a collaborative effort when the European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA) and the Network and Information Security Steering Group (NISSG) joined Study Group 17 in the project.
</t><t>
The Roadmap is in five parts:
</t><t>
Part 1: ICT Standards Development Organizations and Their Work
http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/studygroups/com17/ict/part01.html
</t><t>
Part 1 contains information about the Roadmap structure and about each of the listed standards organizations, their structure and the security standards work being undertaken. In addition it contains information on terminology by providing links to existing security glossaries and vocabularies.
</t><t>
Part 2: Approved ICT Security Standards
http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/studygroups/com17/ict/part02.html
</t><t>
Part 2 contains a summary catalogue of approved standards.
</t><t>
Part 3: Security standards under development
http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/studygroups/com17/ict/part03.html
</t><t>
Part 3 is structured with the same taxonomy as Part 2 but contains work in progress, rather than standards that have already been approved and published. Part 3 will also contain information on inter-relationships between groups undertaking the work and on potential overlaps between existing projects.
</t><t>
Part 4: Future needs and proposed new security standards
http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/studygroups/com17/ict/part04.html
</t><t>
Part 4 is intended to capture possible future areas of security standards work where gaps or needs have been identified as well as areas where proposals have been made for specific new standards work.
</t><t>
Part 4 includes provision for direct feedback, comments and suggestions.
</t><t>
Part 5: Best practices
http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/studygroups/com17/ict/part05.html
</t><t>
Part 5 is a recent addition to the Roadmap (May 2007). It is intended to be a repository of security-related best practices contributed by our community of members.
</t><t>
This section will be based on contributions from the security community.
</t><t>
Where possible contributions should refer to best practices relating to standards-based security but other best practices will be considered for inclusion.
</t><t>
It is important to note that the Roadmap is a work-in-progress. It is intended that it be developed and enhanced to include other standards organizations as well as a broader representation of the work from organizations already included. It is hoped that standards organizations whose work is not represented in this version of the Roadmap will provide information to ITU-T about their work so that it may be included in future editions.
</t><t>
In May 2007, Part 2 of the Roadmap was converted to a searchable database format that allows direct links to the information of participating standards organizations. The database format will allow each participating organization to manage its own data within the Roadmap. This will enable more timely updating of the information and will also reduce the overhead in maintaining the information.
