Overview
SIST EN 301 828 V1.1.1:2005 specifies requirements for wireless terminal authentication supplementary services in a Private Integrated Services Network (PISN). Developed by the Slovenski inštitut za standardizacijo (SIST) and harmonized with ETSI EN 301 828 and ISO/IEC 15432 (1999), this standard outlines functional models and information flows essential for secure authentication in wireless PISN environments. It addresses security for both the network and wireless terminal users, ensuring mutual authentication and reducing security risks in enterprise and organizational telecommunication systems.
Key Topics
- Wireless Terminal Authentication:
The standard covers supplementary services that allow two-way authentication:
- SS-WTAT: Enables the PISN to validate the identity of a wireless terminal mobility (WTM) user.
- SS-WTAN: Enables the served WTM user to validate the identity of the PISN.
- Functional Model and Information Flows:
Describes how authentication services are incorporated within the PISN architecture, including:
- Service invocation sequences
- Data flow diagrams and reference points
- ISDN and OSI Compatibility:
Applies Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) and Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) principles, ensuring consistency and interoperability with existing digital network standards.
- Security Measures in Enterprise Networks:
Focuses on protecting both user and network resources from unauthorized access via mutual verification.
Applications
SIST EN 301 828 V1.1.1:2005 is highly relevant for organizations deploying wireless communications within private integrated services networks. Key practical applications include:
- Enterprise Wireless Telephony:
Ensures that only authenticated users and network nodes can access telecommunication services, securing internal communication from external threats.
- Enhanced Security in Corporate Environments:
Offers a framework for implementing multi-layered authentication, reducing the risk of impersonation or unauthorized access.
- Network and Device Mutual Trust:
Supports scenarios where both the wireless terminal and the network infrastructure require each other's authentication to establish trusted connections.
- Regulatory and Compliance Readiness:
Facilitates compliance with international security and communication standards for organizations subject to audit and regulatory requirements.
Related Standards
SIST EN 301 828 V1.1.1:2005 is closely linked to several other standards that define PISN addressing, signaling, and service models, including:
- EN 300 189: Private Integrated Services Network (PISN) Addressing [ISO/IEC 11571 (1998), modified]
- EN 300 171: Specification, functional models, and information flows for PISN control aspects of circuit-mode basic services [ISO/IEC 11574 (1994), modified]
- ETS 300 475-1: Reference configuration for Private Telecommunication Network exchanges [ISO/IEC 11579-1 (1994), modified]
- ETS 300 387: Method for specification of basic and supplementary services in private telecommunication networks
Organizations evaluating or deploying wireless authentication in PISN should ensure compatibility and integration with these related standards for seamless and secure network operations.
