Introduction 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. 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: Vendors of networking equipment who are unsure of which standard to follow. Purchasers of networking equipment who are unsure of which standard will best apply to the needs of their business or ogranization. Network Administrators and Operators unsure of which standard to follow to attain the best security for their network. 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. 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. Comments on this document may be addressed to the OpSec Working Group or directly to the authors. Lonvick & Spak Expires April 20, 2013 [Page 4] Internet-Draft Security Efforts and Documents October 2012 opsec@ops.ietf.org This document will be updated in sections. The most recently updated part of this document is Section 4. Lonvick & Spak Expires April 20, 2013 [Page 5] Internet-Draft Security Efforts and Documents October 2012 2. Format of this Document The body of this document has three sections. The first part of the body of this document, Section 3, 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. The second part, Section 4, contains a listing of SDOs that appear to be working on security standards. The third part, Section 5, lists the documents which have been found to offer good practices or recommendations for securing networks and networking devices. The text used in sections 3, 4, and 5 have been copied from their referring web sites. The authors make no claim about the validity or accuracy of the information listed.

ITU-T Study Group 2 http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/studygroups/com02/index.asp Security related recommendations currently under study: http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/recommendations/index_sg.aspx?sg=2 5.10. ITU-T Study Group 17 http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/studygroups/com17/index.asp Lonvick & Spak Expires April 20, 2013 [Page 28] Internet-Draft Security Efforts and Documents October 2012 Security related recommendations currently under study: http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/recommendations/index_sg.aspx?sg=17 The ICT Security Standards Roadmap http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/studygroups/com17/ict/index.html 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. 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. 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. The Roadmap is in five parts: Part 1: ICT Standards Development Organizations and Their Work http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/studygroups/com17/ict/part01.html 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. Part 2: Approved ICT Security Standards http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/studygroups/com17/ict/part02.html Part 2 contains a summary catalogue of approved standards. Part 3: Security standards under development http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/studygroups/com17/ict/part03.html 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. Lonvick & Spak Expires April 20, 2013 [Page 29] Internet-Draft Security Efforts and Documents October 2012 Part 4: Future needs and proposed new security standards http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/studygroups/com17/ict/part04.html 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. Part 4 includes provision for direct feedback, comments and suggestions. Part 5: Best practices http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/studygroups/com17/ict/part05.html 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. This section will be based on contributions from the security community. Where possible contributions should refer to best practices relating to standards-based security but other best practices will be considered for inclusion. 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. 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. http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/security/main_table.aspx 5.11.
