1. Introduction

Identity resolution system is an important network infrastructure for the Industrial Internet. It provides codes, registration and resolution services for industrial equipment, machines, materials, parts and products to achieve interoperability, secure sharing and intelligent association of heterogeneous information, which is an important cornerstone for the rapid development of the Industrial Internet. Typical global identity resolution systems in existence include the Handle system [RFC3650] [RFC3651], the Object Identifier (OID) resolution system [OID], etc. In order to ensure the security of data transmission involved in the Industrial Internet identity resolution systems, the security technical requirements are formulated to enhance the security of the entire Industrial Internet identity resolution system and reduce the security risk caused by data leakage. The security technical requirements can be applied to the planning, construction, operation and management of data transmission security of Industrial Internet identity resolution systems.

2. Scope

This draft specifies the security technical requirements for the transmission of Industrial Internet identity resolution data.

This draft applies to the planning, construction, operation and management of the Industrial Internet identity resolution data transmission security of the relevant parties.

3. Terms and Definitions

3.1. International Root Node

International root nodes are the top-level service node of the identity resolution system. They are not limited to specific countries or regions. Their main role consists of two aspects: (1) to provide public root-level identity services for the global scope; (2) and to provide services such as data synchronization and registration resolution for different levels of nodes in local country.

3.2. National Root Node

A national root node is the top-level node within a country or a region, which is connected to the international root node and secondary nodes, provides top-level identity resolution services for the whole country.

3.3. Secondary Node

A secondary node is a public node providing identity services for specific industries or multiple industries. Secondary node is responsible for allocating identity and providing identity registration, identity resolution and identity data services for industrial enterprises. Two types of secondary nodes exist, namely industry secondary nodes and comprehensive secondary nodes.

3.4. Enterprise Node

An enterprise node is an intra-enterprise identity service node which is able to provide identity registration, identity resolution service and identity data service for a specific enterprise. An enterprise node should be connected to a secondary node.

3.5. Recursive Node

A recursive node is the key entrance facility of the identity resolution system, whose responsibility is to cache the resolution data in the process of identity resolution, in order to reduce the amount of resolution data processing and improve the efficiency of resolution services.

3.6. Transmission Security

Protect the confidentiality, integrity, availability and timeliness of data transmitted over the network.

3.7. Privacy

Privacy refers to the authority that individuals have to control their information, including who collects and stores it and who discloses it.

3.8. Personal Data

Personal Data refers to the information that a natural person can be identified directly through the data, or indirectly through the data combined with other information.

4) Measures should be taken to recover the data when data integrity is compromised.

7.2. Data Transmission Availability

The timeliness and accuracy of the data should be guaranteed during data transmission. Specifically:

1) Timeliness: the feature of identifying historical data received or data beyond the time limit. Specifically, the data comes from the system using a unified time allocation/correction mechanism, and the data should include time stamps, etc.

2) Accuracy: When there is an acceptable error in the data, there is an overload to ensure the normal acquisition of the data in time.

7.3. Data Transmission Confidentiality

When transferring data, it is necessary to ensure the confidentiality of the data, including:

1) For important data, authenticate information and important business data such as user passwords, biometrics, private keys, symmetric keys, product order information, and unique identity of a device (Handle ID), a certain strength encryption algorithm or other effective measures should be used to guarantee confidentiality.

2) Appropriate security protocols (such as HTTPS, SSH, IPSec, TLS, etc.) should be used to safeguard the data being transmitted.

7.4. Data Transmission Authentication

Ensure the legitimacy of the identities of both parties in the data transmission, which means, ensure the identity authentication of the subject to the object before the interaction, and establish a trusted transmission path.

7.5. Data Transmission Strategy

Establish a formal transmission strategy to protect the security of all types of information transmitted through communication facilities, and meet:

1) Clarify the type and scope of information that can be transmitted in plain text.

2) For sensitive data, such as user passwords, biometrics, private keys, symmetric keys, etc., an encrypted transmission strategy is required.

7.6. Data Transmission Protocol

The protocol should address the safe transmission of internal and external business, and meet:

Cryptographic algorithms such as data abstract, signature, and authentication shall use the cryptographic algorithms and combinations of abstract, signature, and authentication required by national regulations or national mandatory standards.

7.7. Maintenance and Update of Transmission Protocol

The confidentiality protocol for data transmission should be regularly maintained and updated so that the procotol should reflect the requirements for data transmission security protection and meet:

1) The transmission security protocol needs to be reviewed every year to ensure that the agreement should reflect the requirements for data transmission security protection

2) When new services are launched or existing services are changed, the transmission security protocol needs to be audited and updated if necessary

7.8. Log and Audit

The transmission system shall log and audit the following security failure events. The content of the log shall at least contains date/time, event type, event subject, event description, success/failure information, and meet the following requirements:

1) Data transmission establishment success and failure

2) Transmission device online monitoring abnormalities and alarm events
