Intelligent transport systems - Communication profiles for secure connections between trusted devices
This document specifies a methodology to define ITS-S communication profiles (ITS-SCPs) based on standardized communication protocols to interconnect trusted devices. These profiles enable secure information exchange between such trusted devices, including secure low-latency information exchange, in different configurations. The present document also normatively specifies some ITS-SCPs based on the methodology, yet without the intent of covering all possible cases, in order to exemplify the methodology.Configurations of trusted devices for which this document defines ITS-SCPs include:a) ITS station communication units (ITS-SCU) of the same ITS station unit (ITS-SU), i.e. station-internal communications;b) an ITS-SU and an external entity such as a sensor and control network (SCN), or a service in the Internet;c) ITS-SUs.Other ITS-SCPs can be specified at a later stage.The specifications given in this document can also be applied to unsecured communications and can be applied to groupcast communications as well.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.
The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
