What is the process for gerting an extension? We can draft a letter to CA. Can we agree on how much more time we need? I've been reviewing and adding suggestions/remarks on the document. Who else is? Can we coordinate, merge our contributions and submit an interim edit to CA before COB, even as we seek more time? Pls ensure "track changes" is enabled. Brgds,Patrick.

from Julius Njiraini Computer security and Forensic consultants 0724293490 my proposal to ICT Policy discussion *INTRODUCTION* Information technology architects must build applications, systems, and networks that match ordinary users' expectations of trust in terms of identity, authentication, service level agreements, and privacy. These will help in addressing every layer of business, technology, people, and process. The trust model relies on complete requirements that include business, technical, legal, regulatory, and fiduciary requirements. It does this by offering secure services, implemented within a secure component and which can be used at each level of a Chain of Trust: from the boot mechanism, to the device operating system(OS) and up to the application layer. A device OS is typically the main OS of the device that runs applications and/or services. In the case of smartphones, it can be an OS such as Android. On other Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices, examples may include a Linux-based OS or a real-time operating system (RTOS) *PROCESS.* Step 1: Root of Trust services to the device boot mechanism, including device identification and attestation services- Since the boot is assisted by the Root of Trust from the secure component, the integrity of the device boot chain process is assured and protection offered against various attacks and infections from malware. Step 2: Secure services to protect the device OS- A connection between the device OS and the secure component enables the device OS to access highly secure services within the secure component. These can be used to protect the assets of the OS, such as its certificates and update processes. Application assets, such as data and keys, and end-user authentication also need to be protected. Thanks to the secure component, they too can access the most advanced level of security services. Step 3: Dedicated security services for device applications - To offer most value-added services (VAS), device applications require more advanced security services that are optimized (in terms of security, performance etc.) and tailored for that particular application (e.g. providing specific algorithms). Dedicated security services can be loaded as needed into a secure component and made accessible to the device applications which require them. Digital service providers need to be confident that they can connect their business activities and back end systems with end-point devices which are trusted. This reassures them that they are interacting with, and serving, the right customers. While the trusted end-point is vital to their service delivery, so too is a secure communication channel between the service provider’s server and the end user device. A secure channel enables service providers to confidently use the secure services on the device, such as those which allow them to: · Enable or update digital services · Enroll end users / devices to the service provider platform; · Authenticate end users · Store private data · Authenticate data generated by the device; · Protect data generated by the device ahead of data transmission * exchange in the cloud. * For Cloud Platform Providers In today’s connected device ecosystem, the cloud platform provider has become firmly established as an actor which provides a platform that enables end-users and suppliers to interact and / or conduct transactions. There are different examples of this new ecosystem player: for example, app stores (e.g. the App Store, Play Store) for smartphone and tablet applications; online market places for consumers (e.g. Amazon, Alibaba); and IoT cloud platform providers (e.g. Azure, Google, Artik, etc.) for enterprise and M2M applications. All cloud platform providers need to remotely and securely enroll and manage connected devices; this enables the cloud provider to offer new services and send regular updates. Secure end user and device authentication is also commonly required, to ensure that the provider is interacting with the intended devices and audience. The key requirements of cloud platform providers are: Enrollment - Complexities arise with device enrollment when the cloud platform provider needs to enroll a variety of devices from heterogeneous domains (e.g. healthcare, energy, home automation, etc.) and from different manufacturers. Reliable device enrollment is critical for IoT cloud platform providers across M2M and enterprise use cases. The Chain of Trust established by the GlobalPlatform Device Trust Architecture supports device identification and offers a solution for the secure storage of identity credentials allocated by cloud platform providers. · Remote management - Cloud platform providers must always be able to remotely manage devices. To do this, the devices need to be trusted end-points and they need a secure channel which allows them to engage with the right devices and be sure that their update processes are not compromised. · Authentication - End user and device authentication are required across both consumer and M2M use cases, to allow the correct access to platform services and to ensure non-repudiation. The cloud platform provider needs to use the secure services available on the device for this purpose. WHY IS THE DEVICE TRUST ARCHITECTURE NEEDED? The connected device landscape is expanding rapidly. New devices and device types are being connected to a range of different cloud platforms, new device operating systems are being created and digital services are being developed. Yet not all devices are secure enough to protect against threats and attacks. Considering the sensitive nature of data being gathered and exchanged between many connected devices, the lack of standardized security poses a significant risk across the complete ecosystem. For digital services to be a success: · Service providers need to trust that the devices which are responsible for gathering and sending back service-related data are fully protected and updatable against future attack threats. · Device makers need to support a range of device OS, securely connect to multiple cloud platform providers and offer the right level of security services to service providers. · Cloud platform providers need to securely enroll many device types, running a wide range of different secure services. End to end data integrity, from verifiable devices, is fundamental to their business model; big data is useless if you cannot trust the source of that data. Collaboration between these key stakeholders on securing digital services must therefore be a priority or the IoT ecosystem will not realize its full potential and ‘big brand’ IoT data breaches could become the norm *SOLUTION* *1. **Digital Certificate* A *Digital Certificate* is used to encrypt online data/information communications between an end-users browser and a website. After verifying that a company owns a website, certificate authority will sign their certificate so it is trusted by internet browsers. Digital Certificates are a means by which consumers and businesses can utilise the security applications of *Public Key Infrastructure* (PKI). PKI comprises of the technology to enables secure e-commerce and Internet based communication by providing the following *Identification / Authentication:* The persons / entities with whom we are communicating are really who they say they are. *Confidentiality:* The information within the message or transaction is kept confidential. It may only be read and understood by the intended sender and receiver. *Integrity:* The information within the message or transaction is not tampered accidentally or deliberately with en route without all parties involved being aware of the tampering. *Non-Repudiation:* The sender cannot deny sending the message or transaction, and the receiver cannot deny receiving it. *Access Control:* Access to the protected information is only realized by the intended person or entity. 2. Digital Signature Digital Signature is a process that guarantees that the contents of a message have not been altered in transit. You need a digital certificate to digitally sign a document. However, if you create and use a self-signed certificate the recipients of your documents will not be able to verify the authenticity of your digital signature. They will have to manually trust your self-signed certificate. The policy should come with legislation of implanting Public Key infrastructure in Kenya.
