8     Conformity Assessment Steering Committee
The thirteenth meeting of the ITU-T Conformity Assessment Steering Committee (CASC) was held virtually on 3 December 2021 during the ITU-T SG11 virtual meeting.

Due to lack of proposals on joint certification schemes taking into consideration the financial implications presented by IECEE, CASC decided to discontinue collaboration with IECEE on the TL recognition procedure and on joint certification scheme for the time being.

Following previous SG11 meeting and CASC decision, it was noted that ITU recognizes the Testing Laboratories (TLs) which are accredited by an Accreditation Body that is a signatory to the ILAC MRA for testing, which scope of accreditation contains ITU-T Recommendation(s).

Following request of previous CASC meeting, TSB presented a new ITU Testing Laboratory Database. The application needs to be submitted through online form which is available on ITU C&I Portal (1f8a81b9b0707b63-19211.webchannel-proxy.scarabresearch.com/go/citest). The recognized testing laboratory will be listed in the ITU Testing Laboratory Database accordingly.

Any TL including non-ITU members, which expresses its interest to be accredited against ITU-T Recommendations to be further recognized by ITU, needs to approach Accreditation Body (AB) that is a signatory to the ILAC MRA. The list of ABs is available at: https://ilac.org/signatory-search/. Afterwards, once the accreditation is given to the TL and relevant application form submitted to ITU by TL, the TL can be recognized by ITU accordingly.

All ICT products tested against ITU-T Recommendation by TLs recognized by ITU may be registered in the ITU Product Conformity Database, based on the request. The relevant requests need to be submitted via online form accordingly.

More details are available in the ITU-T CASC Report.

The next CASC meeting is planned for 8 July 2022 (TBC). It will be held during next SG11 meeting (6-15 July 2022, TBA). More information is available on the CASC webpage​.

Based on received iLS (SG11-TD1777/GEN), with a view to ensure a smooth and efficient transfer of its deliverables to the Study Groups, FG-QIT4N organized information session during SG11 and SG13 meetings in December 2021. The objective of the session was to present FG-QIT4N deliverables and suggestions for the way forward for QIT-related standardization. The session was held fully virtual on 6 December 2021 (0800-0930 hours, Geneva time). The presentations are available in SG11-TD1818/GEN.​

12     Security issues of SS7 and other protocols
In December 2021, SG11 agreed a new Technical Report ITU-T QSTR-USSD (ex TR-USSD) “Low resource requirement, quantum resistant, encryption of USSD messages for use in financial services”.

Also, SG11 continues improving signalling-based services and protocols to be used for calling party identification presentation/restriction (e.g., basic calls, supplementary services such as CLIP/CLIR, USSD, etc.) for all types of networks. Currently, SG11 develops:​
  • Draft new Recommendation ITU-T Q.PRO-Trust “Signalling procedures and protocols for enabling interconnection between trustable network entities in support of existing and emerging networks”, which defines the signalling procedures and protocols involved in the application of the signalling requirements and architecture, TSa, Sa and Sc defined in ITU-T Q.3057 for interconnection between trustable network entities in support of existing and emerging networks. It is expected that the work will be completed in July 2022;
  • Draft new Recommendation ITU-T Q.CIDA “Signalling procedures of calling line identification authentication”, which will use X.509 digital certificates signed by a TSCA.​

​Following the progress made so far, SG11 in close collaboration with SG2 and SG17 organized ITU Workshop on “Improving the security of signalling protocols” (virtual, 29 November 2021, 1f8a81b9b0707b63-19211.webchannel-proxy.scarabresearch.com/go/WS-SSP). The key takeaways are available in SG11-TD1874/GEN.

More information about these results is available in the WP1/11 report (SG11-TD1732-R1/GEN).​

​13     VoLTE/ViLTE and IMS-related signalling issues

In December 2021, SG11 consented draft new Recommendation ITU-T Q.3646 (ex. Q.VoLTE-SAO-FP) “Framework and protocols for signalling network analyses and optimization in VoLTE”.

SG11 has made progress on three ongoing work items.

More information about these results is available in the WP1/11 report (SG11-TD1732-R1/GEN).

14     Testing specifications, monitoring and implementation of ITU C&I Programme
SG11 started two new work items on testing and monitoring aspects, as follows:
  • Q.TSRT_IoT “Test specifications for remote testing of Internet of Things using the probes”;
  • Q.PIS “Monitoring Parameters for Intelligent Speech Service in Future Networks”.
​In total, there are eight ongoing work items on testing aspects.

ITU-T SG11 maintains the reference table of ITU-T Recommendations suitable for C&I testing and list of pilot projects for conformity assessment against ITU-T Recommendations (1f8a81b9b0707b63-19211.webchannel-proxy.scarabresearch.com/go/reference-table, 1f8a81b9b0707b63-19211.webchannel-proxy.scarabresearch.com/go/pilot-projects). Following the received updates from different SGs, SG11 updated both lists. The outputs are available in SG11-TD1817/GEN and SG11-TD1816/GEN respectively. Both lists are updated on the ITU C&I Portal.

More information about these results is available in the WP3/11 report (SG11-TD1734/GEN).​

15     ITU Workshop on Improving the security of signalling protocols

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) organised the Workshop on Improving the security of signalling protocols. This workshop took place virtually on 29 November 2021.

The event focused on measures on how to cope with different types of attacks (e.g., spoofing number, telephone spam, etc.) from signalling perspective.

SG11 revised Q.731.3-series, developed ITU-T Q.3057 and continues developing a set of standards (e.g., Q.Pro-trust, Q.CIDA) that allows to tackle such issues by inserting digital signatures into signalling exchange, which will be further validated by the Trusted Signalling Certification Authority (TSCA). This approach may significantly decrease the number of such attacks giving customer the trust of connected applications and services.

The main objective of this workshop was to exchange views on different measures to cope with the vulnerabilities of existing networks, services and protocols. Among other issues, the brainstorming session discussed the need to standardize the identity verification process of a party requesting a certificate, its issuance process and the distribution of the issued certificate to the operators. The representatives of the SG2, SG11 and SG17 gave an overview of their related activities.

According to the key takeaways of the Workshop, there is a need to build a hierarchy of trust, country/regional first, then global where each local regulator will have to determine how to implement the certification depending on their local forms of identification and rules. It was noted that the digital certificates must be interoperable across domains (SIP, SS7, etc.). Finally, it was highlighted that the trust anchor needs to be a globally trusted SDO, preferably one already in charge of numbering and this anchor must interoperate with existing repositories. Therefore, it was pointed out that there is a need to formulate a way to standardize these local/regional certification processes in order to keep the bad actors out. This standardization process should involve as many countries as possible in order to improve its applicability on the global scale.

The key takeaways of the Workshop are available at: 1f8a81b9b0707b63-19211.webchannel-proxy.scarabresearch.com/go/WS-SSP, posted as SG11-TD1874/GEN​.

16 Combating counterfeit telecommunication/ICT devices/software and mobile device theft

In December 2021, SG11 agreed a new ITU-T Q Supplement 75 “Use Cases on the Combat of Counterfeit ICT and Stolen Mobile Devices”.

SG11 continues progressing four ongoing work items on this subject matter.

More information about these results is available in the WP4/11 report (SG11-TD1735-R1/GEN).

17     New ITU-T Focus Group on Testbeds Federations for IMT-2020 and beyond (FG-TBFxG)

SG11 established a new ITU-T Focus Group on Testbeds Federations for IMT-2020 and beyond (FG-TBFxG) on its virtual plenary on 10 December 2021 based on received contributions and outcomes of ad-hoc meeting. The report of the ad-hoc meeting is available in SG11-TD1838-R1/GEN. The agreed ToR of the FG-TBFxG are available in SG11-TD1804-R1/GEN.

The Focus Group will serve as a platform to harmonize testbeds specifications across SDOs/Fora. The FG-TBFxG will develop the required application program interfaces (APIs) aligned with the Testbeds Federations Reference Model defined in Recommendation ITU-T Q.4068, developed in collaboration with ETSI TC INT, and define a set of use cases for Federated Testbeds and APIs.

The Focus Group will play a role in providing a platform to share views, to develop a series of deliverables and it will also offer a platform to different stakeholders to share their initiatives and projects aligned with the outlined vision and the desired Ecosystem on Testbeds Federations. The Focus Group will develop technical specifications that may become a basis for further standardization in the area of Testbeds Federations.

The first meeting is scheduled to be held fully virtually from 4 to 7 April 2022 (TBA).

The FG-TBFxG encourages collaboration with SDOs/Fora, Research Communities, Researchers on IMT-2020 and beyond, Industry Users of Testbeds, Testbeds Suppliers for IMT-2020 Testbeds and other Testbeds, CSPs (Communications Service Providers), Network Operators, Infrastructure Vendors/Suppliers for ICT and Verticals, Open Source & Open Hardware Projects, Regulators.
