10、 Study Group 1.0 ITU-T X Suppl. 16 2012-09-07 17 ii X series Supplement 16 (09/2012) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Stan

11、dardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), w

12、hich meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within

13、 ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC.

22、ystems for prevention of fraudulent activities in public carrier networks. This Supplement describes an example architectural model that provides technical methods to: provide guidelines for security features on internal (end-to-end) service provisioning, assurance and billing processes; address sec

23、urity controls for preventing external fraud attacks affecting public carriers customers and partners; estimate losses (for example, QoS, service degradation, etc.) caused by fraudulent activities. This Supplement also provides guidelines for information exchange related to fraudulent activities. Wh

24、ile it is clear from the ITU Constitution that all implementations, based on ITU Recommendations, shall comply with national laws, policies and regulations, because this Supplement suggests using something similar to lawful interception techniques to combat fraud, implementers should be especially s

25、ensitive when implementing this Supplement to ensure that the resultant implementation complies with national laws, policies and regulations. 2 References None. 3 Definitions 3.1 Terms defined elsewhere This Supplement uses the following terms defined elsewhere: 3.1.1 database management system (DBM

41、l communications service providers, including telecommunication operators, telecommunication companies and telecom carriers. 6 Overview Fraudulent activities by employees, clients and business partners (e.g., communication service providers) in the telecommunication sector exist on the fixed, cellul

42、ar mobile, cable and satellite communication networks, regardless of the underlying communications technology. The most widespread fraudulent activities are the organization of unapproved public telephone booths, gaining revenue by means of theft of PIN-codes, of telephone cards, or breaking of algo

43、rithms of their generation, cloning of cellular mobile telephone SIM cards and use of false identification to register in a communication network. One of the most serious kinds of fraudulent activities is action taken by communication service providers employees to deliberately activate an unpaid te

44、lecommunication service. Fraudulent activities are classified as follows: internal methods, implemented by employees of a communication service provider (e.g., to change rating systems or undercharge counterparties traffic sale), deliberately take advantage of technical defects in equipment and/or e

45、rrors in OSS/BSS interconnection; external methods, implemented by communication service providers clients or counterparties (illegal access, breaking into an automatic telephone exchange, false authentication). Formal definitions of telco fraud are outlined in clause 3.2.13, telco fraudster in clau

46、se 3.2.14 and fraud attack in clause 3.2.5. There are six main types of fraud. a) Technical fraud consists of any activities undertaken by outside employees, clients or counterparts of communication service providers, to make fraudulent usage of service providers services without proper payment, tak

47、ing advantage of the technical defects of a telecommunication network and/or shortcomings of OSS and BSS interconnection. Types of technical fraud are related to: technical issues in implementation of telecommunication network standards and specifications; telecommunication vendors respect and imple

48、mentation of standards in equipment and software; design features of the service providers telecommunication network during the creation and development of the network. 4 X series Supplement 16 (09/2012) Examples of technical fraud are: call redirection and forwarding fraud are fraudulent usage of s

49、pecific call-forwarding capabilities of the cellular mobile network equipment to make voice calls, or send messages, which are due to be paid by an unaware customer who has those services enabled; voicemail fraud is fraudulent usage of cellular mobile network equipment voicemail capabilities to make voice calls or send messages that are due to be paid by an actual customer with a contract in which those services are allowed. b) Payment fraud is based on a counterfeit contract signed using
