Abstract

This contribution identifies security scope and requirements in ATM networks. It first discusses general network security services and identifies the security service required in ATM. It then considers three scenarios: the end-to-end case (securing ATM connections between the ATM endpoints), the edge-to-edge case (securing the part of a connection crossing a public network), and the endpoint-to-switch case (securing ATM connection between and ATM endpoint and a switch). It further elaborates on the issue of authenticated (and other security related) signalling treated in previous contributions and suggests a clear separation between the authentication needed at the ATM level on one side and the higher-level (end-user) authentication needed by network and service providers on the other side. Finally, it is suggested how to include different levels of authentication information in ATM signalling messages.
