  2. Business has been aggregating data and risk at an unprecedented rate… 5. Fully Integrated information based Business 4. Technology Integration 3. Transactional systems Degree of Data Digitization 2. Storing Information • Messaging Spectrum of Risk

  3. And our physical infrastructure has become intertwined and reliant on our cyber infrastructure Source: DHS, "Securing the Nation’s Critical Cyber Infrastructure

  4. We have developed the myth that technology can be an effective fortress – we can have security Traditional focus on: • Better Firewalls • Boundary Intrusion Detection • Critical Offsite Capacity • Compliance Certification False myths: • IT staff = security staff • Compliance failure is the main source of risk • Being compliant = being safe

  5. Some types of Cyber Threats Source: analysis, Dr Irv Lachov

  6. Drivers: fear and impact Attacks are increasingly easy to conduct Email propagation of malicious code DDoS attacks “Stealth”/advanced scanning techniques Increase in worms Sophisticated command and control Widespread attacks using NNTP to distribute attack Skill level needed by attackers 2008 Widespread attacks on DNS infrastructure Attack sophistication Executable code attacks (against browsers) Anti-forensic techniques Automated widespread attacks Home users targeted GUI intruder tools Distributed attack tools Hijacking sessions Increase in wide-scale Trojan horse distribution Internet social engineering attacks Widespread denial-of-service attacks Windows-based remote controllable Trojans (Back Orifice) 1990 Techniques to analyze code for vulnerabilities without source code Automated probes/scans Packet spoofing Source: SE/CERT CC

  7. The proliferation of capability into the hacker/criminal world has enabled a blurring of actors and motivations – a major challenge for any future international regime for controlling national state cyber competition

  9. Genesis of INFINET & Architecture In the year 1994, the Reserve Bank of Indiaformed a committee on "Technology Up gradation in the Payment Systems". The committee recommended a variety of payment applications which can be implemented with appropriate technology up gradation and development of a reliable communication network.              As recommended by the Committee, the Institute for Development & Research in Banking Technology [IDRBT] was established by the Reserve Bank of Indiain 1996 as an Autonomous Centre for Development and Research in Banking Technology. 

  10. Genesis of INFINET & Architecture In July 1996, in a meeting of the Chiefs of Public Sector Banks, chaired by the Governor of Reserve Bank of India, it was decided that a reliable nationwide communication backbone for the Banks and Financial Institutions be established. RBI entrusted the task of setting up this backbone to IDRBT. IDRBT established the VSAT based INFINET Network at the IDRBT Campus, Hyderabad. The Network inaugurated on  June 19, 1999. The Hub site is owned, managed and operated by IDRBT. Remote VSATs, installed across the country over 300 locations are owned by respective member banks.

  11. Genesis of INFINET & Architecture Terrestrial Network (Leased Line) connecting 21 cities commissioned and made operational in the year 2001. The terrestrial network seamlessly integrated with VSAT Network. The entire Network managed through Integrated Network Management System (UniCentre TNG and CISCO Works) 24 X 7 Network management from two locations namely at IDRBT, Hyderabad and RBI, Mumbai.

  13. Banking Application Intra Bank The transaction taking place within the Bank such as Funds Transfer, E-Mail, HR, Personnel and Administrator etc., Branches Head Quarter / Regional Office/Zonal Office / Specialized Branches Inter-Bank The transaction taking place between the Banks, between the Bank and Central Bank (RBI) such as Clearing and Settlement, Electronic Fund Transfers (EFTs) etc.,

  14. IDRBT Certifying Authority Fulfilling the need of trusted third party services in e-commerce Licensed CA by CCA, government of India Issues and manages digital certificates having legal sanctity under IT act 2000 for banking and financial sector Attained excellent standards complying with information technology act, 2000 Certificate policies and practices of high standards supporting certification services of IDRBT CA

  16. Registration Authority (RA) Entities nominated by Banks / FIs and trusted with IDRBT CA Serving as a point of contact for registration of users i.e., verification of subscribers’ credentials before issuance of certificates by IDRBT CA Officials appointed by Banks / FIs

  17. Digital Certificates • Classified according to the level of subscriber’s identity verification • Class 1, Class 2, Class 3 Certificates • Validity of one year • Legally valid under IT Act 2000 • for digital signatures, encryption and secure server

  19. Safe storage of inter-bank messages • Direct Routing to destination Bank Gateway • Access Validation Central HUB INFINET IP Network (IIPN) • Safe storage • Direct Routing to intra-bank sites • Routing to ‘others’ Bank sites via Central HUB Gateway N Gateway 1 Gateway 2 • Common IIPN access point • Safe storage ….

  20. IDRBT Mail Messaging System Primary Role : Mail Gateway for the Banking System Entire Mail system of Reserve Bank of India and 20 odd Public Sector Banks depend on IDRBT Mail gateway Bridge between the closed user group [INFINET] and the outside world for seamless to and fro transmission of mail Implemented with standard protocol - SMTP Ancillary services DNS services Domain Name Registration Web Based mail access from Internet
