Foreword
This Technical Report (TR) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Services and Protocols for Advanced
Networks (SPAN).
The present document is part 1 of a multi-part TR covering the Intelligent Network (IN); Security aspects of Switching
Control Function (SCF) - Service Switching Function (SSF) interconnection between networks, as identified below:
Part 1: "Capability Set 1 (CS1) based operations".
Part 2: "Capability Set 2 (CS2) based operations".
Introduction
Under IN CS1 & CS2, the IN SCP to SSP relationship, or Service Control to Switch, is confined to a single network operator's
domain and may actually be physically co-located as an SSCP. To optimize performance, the switch requires little security,
particularly if implemented within a `single unit` or SSCP. By not using the local processor for security, switch performance
may be optimized toward call processing with security and network protection measures provided at the Service Control Point.
In the case of inter-connected networks, direct implementation of the Inter-network Control to Switch relationship would require
appropriate security and authentication measures to be provided and managed at each SSF.
Within a single network, potential conflict between multiple SCFs is avoided by their management within a common domain.
When two networks are interconnected two (or more) SCFs in different domains can potentially control the same resource
(SSF). Then some secure resource allocation and management procedure must be deployed. Suitable mechanisms have not yet
been standardized. Network operators may prefer the option of utilizing the established inter-network SCF to SCF security
procedures and route inter-network service switching signalling messages via each Network's Service Control Point. In this case
appropriate security and authentication measures would be provided and managed at each SCF.

1 Scope
The present document describes security aspects in conjunction with the interconnection of two IN structured networks.
The present document concentrates on the SCF - SSF interconnection.
The purpose of the present document is to describe the security aspects of interconnection of SCF to SSF. The
operations considered in this interconnection are a subset of CS1. For the time being CAMEL is the only application of
SCF - SSF interconnection, therefore the present document considers only CAMEL phase 1 operations. A later edition
may also consider other CS1 operations.
Future parts of the present document will investigate the security aspects of operation sets that are a subset of CS2 and
CS3.

3 Definitions and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the following terms and definitions apply:
masquerade ("spoofing"): pretence of an entity to be a different entity. This may be a basis for other threats like
unauthorized access or forgery.
unauthorized access: entity attempts to access data in violation to the security policy in force.
eavesdropping: breach of confidentiality by monitoring communication.
loss or corruption of information: integrity of data (transferred) is compromised by unauthorized deletion, insertion,
modification, reordering, replay or delay.
replay of information: repetition of previously valid commands and responses with the intention of corrupting service
or causing an overload.
repudiation: denial by one of the entities involved in a communication of having participated in all or part of the
communication.
forgery: entity fabricates information and claims that such information was received from another entity or sent to
another entity.
denial of service: prevention of authorized access to resources or the delaying of time critical operations.
