Modernising Government Conference
29 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

So How does ITSO work?
ITSO delivers Trust between its licensed
members…
…by implementing loss-less security…
…across inherently insecure communications
paths…
…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…
..onto a range of media types
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.
