VIS - Secure Wireless Internet (ITS)

Description

This solution is used within Canada and the U.S.. It combines standards associated with VIS with those for I–M: Secure Wireless Internet (ITS). The VIS standards include upper–layer standards required to exchange vehicle diagnostic and detailed information. 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.

MgmtIETF RFC 3411An Architecture for Describing Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Management FrameworksThis standard (RFC) defines the basic architecture for SNMPv3 and includes the definition of information objects for managing the SNMP entity's architecture.
MgmtIETF RFC 3412Message Processing and Dispatching for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)This standard (RFC) contains a MIB that assists in managing the message processing and dispatching subsystem of an SNMP entity.
MgmtIETF RFC 3413Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) ApplicationsThis standard (RFC) includes MIBs that allow for the configuration and management of remote Targets, Notifications, and Proxys.
MgmtIETF RFC 3414User–based Security Model (USM) for version 3 of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMPv3)This standard (RFC) contains a MIB that assists in configuring and managing the user–based security model.
MgmtIETF RFC 3415View–based Access Control Model (VACM) for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)This standard (RFC) contains a MIB that supports the configuration and management of the View–based access control model of SNMP.
MgmtIETF RFC 3416Version 2 of the Protocol Operations for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)This standard (RFC) defines the message structure and protocol operations used by SNMPv3.
MgmtIETF RFC 3418Management Information Base (MIB) for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)This standard (RFC) defines the MIB to configure and manage an SNMP entity.
MgmtIETF RFC 4293Management Information Base for the Internet Protocol (IP)This standard (RFC) defines the MIB that manages an IP entity.
SecurityIETF RFC 5280Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure Certificate and Certificate Revocation List (CRL) ProfileThis standard (RFC) defines how to use X.509 certificates for secure communications over the Internet.
SecurityIETF RFC 8446The Transport Layer Security (TLS) ProtocolThis standard (RFC) specifies Version 1.3 of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. The TLS protocol provides communications security over the Internet. The protocol allows client/server applications to communicate in a way that is designed to prevent eavesdropping, tampering, or message forgery.
ITS Application EntityVSSVehicle Signal SpecificationThis specification provides a vendor–independent domain taxonomy for vehicle signals. It can be used as standard in automotive applications to communicate semantically well–defined information around the vehicle.
FacilitiesIETF RFC 6455The WebSocket ProtocolThe WebSocket Protocol enables two–way communication between a client running untrusted code in a controlled environment to a remote host that has opted–in to communications from that code. The security model used for this is the origin–based security model commonly used by web browsers. The protocol consists of an opening handshake followed by basic message framing, layered over TCP. The goal of this technology is to provide a mechanism for browser–based applications that need two–way communication with servers that does not rely on opening multiple HTTP connections (e.g., using XMLHttpRequest or <iframe>s and long polling).
FacilitiesVISSVehicle Information Service SpecificationThis specification defines a WebSocket based API for a Vehicle Information Service (VIS) to enable client applications to get, set, subscribe and unsubscribe to vehicle signals and data attributes.
TransNetIETF RFC 2460Internet Protocol, Version 6 (IPv6) SpecificationThis standard (RFC) specifies version 6 of the Internet Protocol (IPv6), also sometimes referred to as IP Next Generation or IPng.
TransNetIETF RFC 4291IP Version 6 Addressing ArchitectureThis standard (RFC) defines the addressing architecture of the IP Version 6 (IPv6) protocol. It includes the IPv6 addressing model, text representations of IPv6 addresses, definition of IPv6 unicast addresses, anycast addresses, and multicast addresses, and an IPv6 node's required addresses.
TransNetIETF RFC 4443Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMPv6) for the Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) SpecificationThis standard (RFC) defines the control messages to manage IPv6.
TransNetIETF RFC 793Transmission Control ProtocolThis standard (RFC) defines the main connection–oriented Transport Layer protocol used on Internet–based networks.

Readiness: High–Moderate

Readiness Description

One significant or possibly a couple minor issues. For existing deployments, the chosen solution likely has identified security or management issues not addressed by the communications solution. Deployers should consider additional security measures, such as communications link and physical security as part of these solutions. They should also review the management issues to see if they are relevant to their deployment and would require mitigation. For new deployments, the deployment efforts should consider a path to addressing these issues as a part of their design activities. The solution does not by itself provide a fully secure implementation without additional work.
