Definitions

field equipment software install/upgrade (Information Flow): This flow supports installation and update of software residing in ITS roadway equipment. It supports download of the software installation files, including executable code and associated support files.

Field Maintenance Equipment (Source Physical Object): 'Field Maintenance Equipment' represents the portable equipment used by field personnel to locally troubleshoot, initialize, reprogram, and test infrastructure equipment. It may include a laptop, specialized diagnostics tools, or any other general purpose or specialized equipment that is interfaced locally to infrastructure equipment to support maintenance and repair.

Field (Destination Physical Object): This general physical object is used to model core capabilities that are common to any piece of field equipment.

TUF - Guaranteed Secure Internet (ITS) (7)
(None-Data) - Guaranteed Secure Internet (ITS) (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) - Guaranteed Secure Internet (ITS)

Solution Description

This solution is used within Australia, Canada, the E.U. and the U.S.. It combines standards associated with (None-Data) with those for I-I: Guaranteed Secure Internet (ITS). The (None-Data) standards include an unspecified set of standards at the upper layers. The I-I: Guaranteed Secure Internet (ITS) standards include lower-layer standards that support secure communications with guaranteed delivery between ITS equipment using X.509 or IEEE 1609.2 security certificates.

Interoperability	Description
Local	In cases where an interface is normally encapsulated by a single stakeholder, interoperability is still desirable, but the motive is vendor independence and the efficiencies and choices that an open standards-based interface provides.

Security

Information Flow Security
	Confidentiality	Integrity	Availability
Rating	Moderate	High	High
Basis	Field equipment software could be sensitive, both from a vulnerability assessment standpoint and because the software itself may be competition-sensitive.	Software updates to Roadway Equipment must be authenticated as having come from a source entitled to provide that software, or roadway equipment may be comprimised. Similarly, such software must be guaranteed to being the intent of the originator; not manipulated midstream or corrupted, or the roadway equipment may be mis-configured or compromised.	Without the ability to locally diagnose, operate, update and configure ITS Roadway Equipment, the equipment is effectively out of control and would have to be taken out of service.
