Standardisation Plan

Roadmap of SHIELD’s contributions in order to plan and keep track of the project’s inputs to standardization. In the roadmap procedure, targeted standardisation bodies, fora and work groups will be defined. SHIELD will initially aim at the following standardization bodies and open-source projects: • ETSI, and in particular those groups related to NFV technologies (the NFV and MEC ISGs) and cybersecurity (the CYBER and LI WGs). • IETF, focusing on those WGs related with security automation (SACM) and the coming activities related to virtual security functions (the proposed I2NSF WG), and contributing to general efforts in what relates to security applications, as in the cases of the ANIMA (autonomic networking), SFC (function chaining) and I2RS (network programmability) WGs. • IRTF, mostly on the activities of the NFV and the SDN RGs • ONF, especially in the Security group, but with potential contributions in the Operator Area and issues related to the Northbound Interfaces group. • TM Forum, with special emphasis on the SDN/NFV Interest Group, and the Security and Privacy Management Community. • The OpenStack project, as the main upstream open-source reference for NFV and virtualization activities in general. • The OPNFV project, as the common reference for NFV open-source integration • The OpenDayLight project, as the most comprehensive software-based networking open-source implementation. • The ONOS project, as the emerging carrier-grade software networking open-source solution.
