21、 the supporting services with other security services and mechanisms. A number of different types of standards can use this framework, including: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) standards that incorporate the concept of confidentiality; standards that specify abstract services that include confidentiality; standards

22、 that specify uses of a confidentiality service; standards that specify means of providing confidentiality within an open system architecture; and standards that specify confidentiality mechanisms. Such standards can use this framework as follows: - - - standards of type l), 2), 3), 4) and 5) can us

23、e the terminology of this framework; standards of type 2), 3), 4) and 5) can use the facilities defined in clause 7 of this framework; standards of type 5) can be based upon the classes of mechanism defined in clause 8 of this framework. As with other security services, confidentiality can only be p

24、rovided within the context of a defined security policy for a particular application. The definitions of specific security policies are outside the scope of this Recommendation I International Standard. It is not a matter for this Recommendation I International Standard to specify details of the pro

25、tocol exchanges which need to be performed in order to achieve confidentiality. This Recommendation I International Standard does not specify particular mechanisms to support these confidentiality services nor the full details of security management services and protocols. Generic mechanisms to supp

26、ort confidentiality are described in clause 8. ITU-T Rec.

27、 security framework achieve confidentiality by the application of cryptographic techniques. This framework is not dependent on the use of particular cryptographic or other algorithms, although certain classes of confidentiality mechanisms may depend on particular algorithm properties. NOTE - Althoug

28、h IS0 does not standardize cryptographic algorithms, it does standardize the procedures used to register them in ISOfiEC 9979: 1991, Procedures for the registration of criptographic algorithms. This framework addresses the provision of confidentiality when the information is represented by data that

29、 are read- accessible to potential attackers. Its scope includes traffic flow confidentiality. 2 Normative references The following Recommendations and International Standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation I International Stand
