TCG and ETSI Establish Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to Cooperate on Telecommunications Standards
The Trusted
Computing Group and the European Telecommunications Standards
Institute (ETSI (News - Alert)) announced today that they recently agreed to
collaborate on the development of international standards for a secure
global telecommunications infrastructure.
The Trusted Computing Group (News - Alert) (TCG) is a not-for-profit organization
formed to develop, define and promote open, vendor-neutral, global
industry standards, supportive of a hardware-based root of trust, for
interoperable trusted computing platforms.
The European
Telecommunications Standards Institute is an industry-led standards
development organization with a membership of more than 800
manufacturers, network operators, service providers, research bodies,
regulatory bodies and academia from more than 60 countries. ETSI
undertakes pre-standardization and standardization activities in areas
ommon to telecommunications, information technology, sound and
television broadcasting. ETSI aims to produce globally applicable
standards and is the recognized European Standardization Organization
for telecommunications.
"TCG welcomes the opportunity to work closely with ETSI and its members
on important standards for telecommunications," said Mark Schiller,
executive director, TCG. "As more and more devices are connected, the
importance of standards and the key role of foundational trust in
enabling security will only increase in criticality."
The agreement between TCG and ETSI identifies mutually important topics,
including cloud services and platform runtime integrity for telecom
infrastructure and mobile devices.
The agreement also enables cooperation between the TCG Trusted Mobility
Solutions work group and the following ETSI committees: ISG NFV (Network
Functions Virtualisation), TC LI (Lawful Intercept), TC CYBER
(Cybersecurity) and TC NTECH (Network Technologies). The agreement
allows further collaboration between other TCG work groups and ETSI
committees. TCG is already making contributions to ETSI ISG NFV
regarding platform security and remote attestation using TCG
technologies.
