personnel device software install/upgrade (Information Flow): This flow supports installation and update of software residing in Personnel Devices. It supports download of the software installation files, including executable code and associated support files.

Center (Source Physical Object): This general physical object is used to model core capabilities that are common to any center.

Personnel Device (Destination Physical Object): 'Personnel Device' represents devices used by emergency personnel or maintenance and construction personnel in the field. In the case of emergency personnel, the devices would include body cameras or smartphones (and their peripherals) that can be used by emergency personnel to provide images or video as well as send or receive data regarding the incident. The devices could also be used for incident scene safety messages to the personnel. In the case of maintenance and construction field personnel, the devices could be cellular phones or specialized safety devices that would be used for work zone safety messages to the personnel.

Communication Solutions

TUF - Secure Wireless Internet (ITS) (7)
Proprietary Data - Proprietary Comm (16)
(None-Data) - Secure Wireless Internet (EU) (43)

Solutions are sorted in ascending Gap Severity order. The Gap Severity is the parenthetical number at the end of the solution.

Selected Solution

(None-Data) - Secure Wireless Internet (EU)

Solution Description

This solution is used within Australia and the E.U.. It combines standards associated with (None-Data) with those for I-M: Secure Wireless Internet (EU). The (None-Data) standards include an unspecified set of standards at the upper layers. The I-M: Secure Wireless Internet (EU) 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 certificates. A non-mobile (if any) endpoint may connect to the service provider using any Internet connection method.

Note that some layers might have alternatives, in which case all of the gap icons associated with every alternative may be shown on the diagram, but the solution severity calculations (and resulting ordering of solutions) includes only the issues associated with the default (i.e., best, least severe) alternative.

Security

Information Flow Security
	Confidentiality	Integrity	Availability
Rating	High	High	Moderate
Basis	PID control, configuration and software/firmware update should all be protected from view. A hostile third party could use this information to reverse engineer control/configuration/update processes, and use that information in an attack across a broad swatch of similar devices, which would have severe effects to the installed base.	PID control, configuration and update need to be correct or the PID may be misconfigured, which for some applications could have severe safety impacts.	PID control, configuration and update needs to be available; however the availability requirement is probably less than Integrity, as without this flow the PID can continue to operate. The exception would be post-cyber attack, when this flow becomes critical.
