ABSTRACT: This document presents the view of Telcordia on generic requirements on security for interfaces among Operations Systems (OS's), Network Elements (NEs), and Workstations when the communications architecture is based on the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model. The GR considers the potential threats to the Telecommunications Management Network (TMN), the security services that protect against such threats, the security mechanisms that support security services, and available standards for security services and mechanisms. It then presents several requirements that are intended to allow customized, progressive deployment of security services in the TMN.
