What is ISO 19626-1 - Fundamentals of Trusted communication platforms about?
ISO 19626-1 is the first part of an international multi-series standard that covers the fundamentals of trusted communication platforms for electronic documents.
ISO 19626-1 defines the requirements about trusted communication in legal, administrative and technical considerations. It shows a TCP system architecture to guarantee trusted communication and promote trusted services by providing trusted communication evidence as proof.
ISO 19626-1 focuses on TCP at the view of the 7th application layer of OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) Reference Model. It gives technical specifications such as terms, definitions, trusted communication, trusted communication platforms, trusted communication evidence, etc.
Who is ISO 19626-1 - Fundamentals of Trusted communication platforms for?
ISO 19626-1 on Fundamentals of Trusted communication platforms is useful for:
- Policymakers for IT innovation
- Legal experts regarding electronic activities
- IT planners for single windows and secure transactions
- IT service providers related to distributed networking and ledger
- Trusted system auditors,
- Trusted communication concerned parties
Why should you use ISO 19626-1 - Fundamentals of Trusted communication platforms?
A dematerializing solution should meet with legal considerations about electronically communicated documents. However, this solution is not easy, because electronic communication itself includes the uncertainties from network failure and the electronic document itself is insufficient in safeguarding the integrity during its lifecycle. In the meantime, the problem due to repudiation, inadvertent disclosure, or tamper has been regarded as too sensitive to finalize the dematerialization solution related to business transactions as well as diverse governmental services, because it can potentially be embroiled in legal dispute or conflicts.
ISO 19626-1 focuses on how to enhance trusted communication in an open and distributed environment. It presents the aspects of Trusted communication means electronic communication, that can ensure integrity and non-repudiation of electronic transactions by a trusted third party in a dematerialization manner under the guidance of UNCITRAL (United Nations Commission on International Trade Law).
ISO 19626-1 sets an approach for a solution to minimize some innate difficulties around dematerialization, by forming the trusted third party-oriented and mutually trusted relationship among concerned stakeholders and implementing a shared platform that is accountable and traceable.
ISO 19626-1 gives provisions for a trusted communication platform to fulfil the need of keeping the evidence about electronically communicated documents in a reliable and trustworthy manner. The evidence generated via this trusted communication platform can help the users to account for the truth of e-communication activities and facilities of trusted communication services.
