The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) began working on projects to update six standards dealing with computer data storage security including a suite of standards dealing with media management systems.
IEEE P1244.1 - Standard for Media Management System (MMS) Architecture will update the standard originally published in the year 2000.
The standard is intended to serve as an introduction to the MMS and its capabilities as well as a guide to implementing MMS applications and devices such as robotic libraries or drives.
IEEE P1244.2 - Standard for Media Management System (MMS) Session Security, Authentication, Initialization Protocol (SSAIP) describes the syntax and semantics of the protocol messages that pass between the MMS client or MMS module and the MM and offers security protocols for home offices, U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) classified sites and business-to-business communications over the Internet.
IEEE P1244.3 - Standard for Media Management System (MMS) Media Management Protocol (MMP) specifies the syntax and the semantics associated with various commands and protocol messages that pass between an MMS application and the MM.
In addition, this standard will define certain aspects of the operation of the MM itself in response to various events that occur in the MMS, for example, the initiation and termination of various components of the MMS.
IEEE P1244.4 - Standard for Media Management System (MMS) Drive Management Protocol (DMP) describes the syntax and semantics of the protocol messages that pass between the library manager (LM) and the media manager (MM).
IEEE P1244.5 - Standard for Media Management System (MMS) Library Management Protocol (LMP) specifies the Library Management Protocol (LMP), which is the interface between two software components of the MMS: the central management core and a program that manages an automated library or a vault.
IEEE P1667 - Standard Protocol for Authentication in Host Attachments of Transient Storage Devices defines a standard protocol for secure authentication and creation of trust between a secure host and a directly attached transient and other storage devices such as a universal serial bus (USB) flash drive, portable hard drive or cellular phone.
The standard is intended to address potential data security threats brought about by the past decade's growth of transient and externally attached media storage drives. This standard will act to help insure the security of the enterprise using these devices while allowing a continued market and a method of transporting information for the user.
