Modernising Government Conference29 October 2004 Mike Eastham Head of Technology ITSO Ltd
What is ITSO? ITSO is a membership organisation (hence not a profit distributor) ITSO was created to solve the challenge of implementing multi-player smartcard scenarios, (focused initially on transportation)
ITSO Objectives To facilitate the development of an interoperable smart environment by developing and then operating and managing a specification for an interoperable smart ticketing environment.
Which required • Writing and Publishing a Specification (now V2.1) • Setting up and managing a security domain • Delivering a compliance system (Certification) • Providing a Registrar function
Security Domain • Development of a Security Management Service • Development of a Secure Application Module (The ITSO SAM)
Certification • Supplier Registration - To be registered as a provider of ITSO Certified equipment, systems etc. for use within the ITSO Environment - (Free for Members) • Purchase Test Tools & Scripts (Optional) • Testing & Certification of Equipment to gain an ITSO Compliance Certificate
Registrar • Schemes • Products • Shells • Organisations
ITSO Shell Owners Product Owners Product Retailers Collection & Forwarding Operators ITSO Shell Retailers Service Operators Compliance Certification / Test Registrar The ITSO Environment Core Services Security Management
…and through inherently insecure ‘existing’ systems Transactions are securely passed from one part of the ITSO process to the next – minimising impact on existing systems.
ITSO Product Entities (IPEs) can model just about anything through fixed and variable data…
…and the ITSO directory presents the Smart Products independently & interoperably… …with each owner’s key used to seal…
What is Interoperability? • Interoperable between Modes i.e. Rail, Bus, Tram, Ferry etc. • Interoperable between Systems or Schemes i.e. London, Scotland, Manchester, Birmingham etc.
The “Martini” Principle • Any time • Any place • Any where • Any media (card or other)
Why use ITSO? • ITSO is now mandated for all transportation schemes receiving government support. • ITSO provides the potential for a national environment within a single security domain facilitating “Martini”.
For the User • ITSO can facilitate • Purchase a ticket at any ITSO participating location • Use the “ticket” at any ITSO participating location • (Gives True Interoperability)
For the (Service) Operator • Implement an ITSO service in the knowledge that: • Service can participate in any ITSO scheme • Media can be used interoperably (with suitable commercial product agreements) • Systems and Equipment are not proprietary • Additional Add-ons may be made with confidence that the new will work with the old.
For the (Scheme) Operator • Implement an ITSO scheme in the knowledge that: • Media can be used interoperably (with suitable commercial product agreements) • Systems and Equipment are not proprietary • Additional Add-ons may be made with confidence that the new will work with the old.
For the Supplier • Suppliers are being encouraged to develop their equipment to become ITSO compliant. • Clearly this means an end to “proprietary schemes”. • But once development is complete facilitates entry to otherwise “closed” areas of the market.
How Much Will ITSO cost in Scotland? • About 0.1% of Annual Turnover once mature • (<£200k on £211million t/o) • Take up costs around £150k • ISAMs around £250k (assumes 5000 purchased
For the Scottish Public Sector • ITSO provides the capability to inter-operate both between (inter and intra) schemes and modes of transport with an industry wide standard framework that works for all. • This allows for a number of levels within the environment and can facilitate a single ITSO membership for the entire Scottish Public sector.
