Payment Administration Center --> Personal Information Device:
registered secureIDs
Definitions
registered secureIDs (Information Flow): Cryptographically protected identifier indicating that the user associated with the identifier is entitled to use a particular service.
Payment Administration Center (Source Physical Object): The 'Payment Administration Center' provides general payment administration capabilities and supports the electronic transfer of funds from the customer to the transportation system operator or other service provider. Charges can be recorded for tolls, vehicle-mileage charging, congestion charging, or other goods and services. It supports traveler enrollment and collection of both pre-payment and post-payment transportation fees in coordination with the financial infrastructure supporting electronic payment transactions. The system may establish and administer escrow accounts depending on the clearinghouse scheme and the type of payments involved. It may post a transaction to the customer account, generate a bill (for post-payment accounts), debit an escrow account, or interface to a financial infrastructure to debit a customer designated account. It supports communications with the ITS Roadway Payment Equipment to support fee collection operations. As an alternative, a wide-area wireless interface can be used to communicate directly with vehicle equipment. It also sets and administers the pricing structures and may implement road pricing policies in coordination with the Traffic Management Center.
Personal Information Device (Destination Physical Object): The 'Personal Information Device' provides the capability for travelers to receive formatted traveler information wherever they are. Capabilities include traveler information, trip planning, and route guidance. Frequently a smart phone, the Personal Information Device provides travelers with the capability to receive route planning and other personally focused transportation services from the infrastructure in the field, at home, at work, or while en-route. Personal Information Devices may operate independently or may be linked with vehicle on-board equipment. This subsystem also supports safety related services with the capability to broadcast safety messages and initiate a distress signal or request for help.

Basis | These IDs are used to secure individual user's rights to use transportation assets. Compromising one of these would be a significant inconvenience but only for the user of that secureID. However, compromise of the algorithm securing all IDs would be catastrophic to the system that uses this mechanism as a means to pay for transportation services. | Individual tokens should be correct or the user will not be able to use this method to pay for transport. A systemic integrity flaw would compromise the system similar to how an encryption flaw would however, which justifies HIGH. | Should be relatively infrequently used by any one user, but over the sum of all transport users sees significant use. If the flow is not available, new or re-applying users will not be able to use this method to pay for transport. |
