Requirements

Need Requirement
N4.001 Applications need to protect data they handle from unauthorized access. This is required to support applications that exchange sensitive information, such as personally identifying or financial information, which if intercepted could compromise the privacy or financial records of the user. 4.001 Applications that function by exchanging data between entities shall be able to exchange encrypted data between those entities.
N4.002 Applications need to establish trust between entities that operate components of the application. Such trust relationships are necessary so that applications can be assured that entities are who they say they are, and therefore trust the source and data it receives. 4.002 Applications shall verify that, for each entity on which an application component is installed, that entity is trusted by the provider of the application.
4.003 Applications shall be able to digitally sign all messages sent between entities.
4.004 Applications shall be able to verify the digital signature of received messages.
4.005 Digital signatures used to ensure trust shall be generated independently of the application sending the message to be signed.
N4.003 Applications need to revoke the trust relationship they have between entities when necessary. A trusted entity may operate in a fashion that indicates it should no longer be trusted, in which case applications must have a way of revoking that trust. 4.006 Applications shall identify entities that provide messages to the application that are improperly formatted.
4.007 Applications shall identify entities that provide messages to the application that are logically inconsistent.
4.008 Applications shall revoke personal trust (trust by the application) when a repeated pattern of messages from a given entity falls outside of the applications tolerances.
4.009 Applications shall be able to report suspicious behavior to third party authentication providers.
4.010 Applications shall be able to accept messages from the third party authentication provider that identifies entities unworthy of trust.
4.011 Applications shall be able to revoke trust between itself and an entity if that entity is identified by the third party authentication provider as untrustworthy.
N4.004 All participants in the Connected Vehicle Environment need to operate on a common time base. Coordination of time between the entities that operate applications as well as those providing Core services prevents internal errors and enables time-sensitive interactions between application components. 4.012 All applications shall use the same time source as the basis for timing.
N4.060 System Monitoring (SM) needs to track and manage the configuration of infrastructure-based System Elements, which includes the RSE as well as the communication link to back office functions. 4.136 System Monitoring shall be capable of determining the configuration of infrastructure-based System Elements, which includes the RSE as well as the communication link to back office functions.
4.137 System Monitoring shall be capable of changing the configuration settings of infrastructure-based System Elements, which includes the RSE as well as the communication link to back office functions.

4.139 SM shall be capable of remotely correcting faults or service problems in the infrastructure-based System Elements.
N4.062 SM needs to monitor the performance of infrastructure-based System Elements. 4.140 SM shall be capable of monitoring the performance of the infrastructure-based System Elements.
N4.063 SM needs to monitor the physical and cyber security of infrastructure-based System Elements. 4.141 SM shall monitor the physical security of infrastructure-based System Elements.
4.142 SM shall monitor the information systems of infrastructure-based System Elements.
N4.065 SM needs to have sufficient internal operations and diagnostic message generation and logging capabilities to allow for operational monitoring, troubleshooting, and control. 4.143 SM shall support message generation and logging capabilities.
N4.066 SM needs to provide accurate status information to System Users and notify operations personnel when a service operates in abnormal or degraded fashion. 4.144 SM shall provide status information to operations personnel.
4.145 SM shall notify operations personnel when a service operates in abnormal or degraded fashion.
