METR: Consumer Requirements - Secure Wireless Internet (ITS)
Description:
This solution is used within Canada and the U.S.. It combines standards associated with METR: Consumer Requirements with those for I-M: Secure Wireless Internet (ITS). The METR: Consumer Requirements standards include upper-layer standards required to exchange METR information with a consumer system. The I-M: Secure Wireless Internet (ITS) standards include lower-layer standards that support secure communications between two entities, either or both of which may be mobile devices, but they must be stationary or only moving within wireless range of a single wireless access point (e.g., a parked car). Security is based on X.509 or IEEE 1609.2 certificates. A non-mobile (if any) endpoint may connect to the service provider using any Internet connection method.Relevant Regions:
- Canada
- United States

Solution Issues Severity: 27
The severity issue score calculation only includes issues associated with standards that are included by default.
Solution Issues:
| Default | Severity | Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| False | Medium | Option not standardized | Standardization Gap | The option set includes at least one option that is not (yet) defined in a standard. |
| False | Medium | Overlap of standards | Overlap | Multiple standards have been developed to address this information and it is unclear which standard should be used to address this specific information flow. |
| False | Medium | Regulatory Permission Needed | Standardization Gap | Deployment of this standard requires regulatory approval, which is currently subject to significant delays. |
| False | Medium | Uncertainty about trust revocation mechanism | Security Gap | The mechanisms used to prevent bad actors from sending authorized messages is unproven. |
| False | High | Regulatory Issue | Standardization Gap | Deployment of this standard is subject to regulatory approval, which is not currently expected to be granted for deployments in the near-term. |
| True | Medium | Outdated security reference | Security Gap | The standard solution includes an outdated security reference. |
| True | High | Draft not available (Critical) | Standardization Gap | The standards development organization has established a work item for the subject standard but a draft is not available for this critical feature to enable the interface. The draft may be missing due to the work item being new or simply a lack of activity on the work item. |
