DRAFT RECOMMENDED STANDARD FOR SPACE LINK EXTENSION SERVICE MANAGEMENT<br />

2.3 MAPPING TO W3C XML SCHEMA<br />

The SLE-SM Recommended Standard is intended to be technology independent. However,<br />

it has been mapped to World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Extensible Markup Language<br />

(XML) schema in order to support prototype implementations that have fed back useful<br />

information into the process of generating the Recommended Standard. The mapping of this<br />

Recommended Standard to XML schema is provided as a virtual annex at the following<br />

URL:<br />

[URL TBD]<br />

2.4 SECURITY ASPECTS OF SLE MANAGEMENT SERVICES<br />

2.4.1 SECURITY BACKGROUND/INTRODUCTION<br />

The SLE-SM services defined in this Recommended Standard are abstract and in themselves<br />

address some of the security concerns. Security of real implementations of the SLE-SM<br />

services also must depend on the security features associated the concrete transfer syntax<br />

used to represent the abstract data sets defined herein, and/or the security capabilities of the<br />

underlying communication service.<br />

At present, an SLE-SM mapping to World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) XML schema<br />

(reference [17]) has been adopted as one transfer syntax for SLE-SM interactions. For<br />

implementations that use this XML mapping, most of the security for the SLE-SM services<br />

will be provided by implementation of XML security standards (references [18]–[20]), which<br />

have been developed under the auspices of the W3C and the Organization for the<br />

Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS).<br />

NOTE – For the purposes of this description, these XML security standards are assumed<br />

to be implemented in middleware that is part of the underlying communication<br />

service.<br />

2.4.2 STATEMENTS OF SECURITY CONCERNS<br />

2.4.2.1 Introduction<br />

This subsection identifies SLE-SM service support for capabilities that respond to security<br />

concerns in the areas of data privacy, data integrity, authentication, access control,<br />

availability of resources, and auditing. The support described herein is predicated on the use<br />

of the W3C XML schema mapping for SLE-SM and the referenced W3C XML security<br />

standards.<br />

SLE-SM operation messages are recommended to be fully encrypted in accordance with the<br />

XML Encryption Syntax and Processing recommendation (reference [18]).<br />
