What is PD CEN/TS 16702-2 about?
PD CEN/TS 16702 is a series focuses on secure monitoring of autonomous electronic fee collection systems. PD CEN/TS 16702-2 defines the trusted recorder, a secure element required for some of the different types of secure monitoring compliance checking concepts for autonomous electronic fee collection systems.
PD CEN/TS 16702-2 specifies the requirements for the secure application module (SAM) used in the secure monitoring compliance checking concept. It specifies two different configurations of a SAM: Trusted recorder, for use inside a piece of on-board equipment and Verification SAM, for use in another electronic fee collection entities.
PD CEN/TS 16702-2 describes:
- Terms and definitions used to describe the configurations of the two SAMs
- Operation of the two SAMs in the secure monitoring compliance checking concept
- Functional requirements for the configurations of the two SAMs, including a classification of different security levels
- The interface, by means of transactions, messages and data elements, between an OBE or front end and the trusted recorder
- Requirements on basic security primitives and key management procedures to support Secure Monitoring using a trusted recorder
Who is PD CEN/TS 16702-2 for?
PD CEN/TS 16702-2 on electronic fee collection is useful for:
- Toll chargers and service providers
- Toll service users
- Electronic fee collection system
- Information security system
- Quality assurance tests organizations
- Compliance checking interrogator operators
Why should you use PD CEN/TS 16702-2?
PD CEN/TS 16702-2 provides you with requirements for a trusted recorder (TR) used in a piece of onboard equipment, which supports symmetric and asymmetric algorithms.
PD CEN/TS 16702-2 guides you about cryptographic functionality requirements which help to ensure the authenticity, integrity and non-repudiation of data produced in onboard equipment and a proxy implementing the secure monitoring compliance checking concept based on keys stored in and managed by the Trusted Recorder or verification SAM.
Following PD CEN/TS 16702-2 requirements for the security protection level of Trusted Recorder and the verification SAM you can analyze threats for the assets in an interoperable electronic fee collection scheme.
PD CEN/TS 16702-2 enables the secure monitoring for autonomous electronic fee collection systems concept defined in CEN/TS 16702-1 to fulfil the European Electronic Toll Service (EETS) requirements as indicated in CEN/TS 16702-1, on technical requirements of secure monitoring compliance checking in relation to Decision 2009/750/EC.
