scope:

The present document specifies countermeasures to assure that users of the NGN have protection from abuse of identity. This covers authenticity and integrity countermeasures, including use of existing systems, and credential management in support of identity protection.

The present document:

• identifies the security objectives;

• defines the functional requirements (including those from ISO/IEC 15408-2 [i.6] that apply);

• defines the detail requirements for protection of identity in the NGN.

In doing so the present document:

• defines measures that provide protection of the NGN user identity from malicious traffic analysis;

• identifies those measures that allow compliance with the privacy legislation in the regions where the NGN is to be deployed where such legislation is known and public;

• identifies in Annex B a number of countermeasures in the form of policies or procedures.

The present document follows the recommendations of ES 202 382 [2] and provides an IdM PP Proforma which may be used as a basis for developing a PP for identity protection in an NGN subsystem deployment. The identity protection PP proforma is provided in Annex A.
