Publication date:   Nov 30, 2007

Scope

This European Prestandard specifies a methodology for defining, expressing and selecting a communication protection profile specification, and thus provides: 1. a standard way of expressing HC user security needs in relation to communication; 2. a standard method of successive refinement of policy statements, hereby helping to identify standardised security components that can be utilised to meet these security needs. Security aspects contained within the communication protection profile include integrity, confidentiality, and availability, and also legal accountability seen as synonymous with auditability.
