Abstract OSS Interconnection Gateway Validation, Volume 6: Gateway Security
E.P. de Vink (ed.)

This volume looks at the appraisement of gateways regarding security
threats that are predicted to be relevant to European operators
working in a regulated environement. There has been special attention
given to defining boundaries between domains of governance by using
gateways as trusted entities. The main benefits of using gateways are
reduced costs and the focussing of interconnect at a limited number of 
points where exhaustive and costly security analysis can be justified
and carried out efficiently. This can be done whilst supporting
resilience (no single point of failure), accessibility and alternative
routes based on business rules.

This volume contains a logical sequence of security processes that
need to be carried out by gateway operator of any size.
