Management: Trust And Authentication Services • "Trust by Wire" to "Trust by Authentication" • Trusted authorities must be deployed • e.g.: Trust centers issue security certificates / tokens • Telco's are traditionally trusted • Operation of trust centers generates new income (Verisign..) • None repudiation evidence gathering • Trust centers can verify, trace and store CLI information forlater proof. This is currently a problem in IP networks • . . .
Telephone User Habits / Paradigms: • Do users want anything but dial? • Transparency for Today’s Devices Required? • e.g.: G.3 FAX, modem, look and feel, RJ11 plug • Real-time Billing • e.g.: Coinboxes, Prepaid-Cards, and hotel billing • Connection Setup Time • Is location finding fast enough? • Call Blocking (Non Payment, 3rd Party ...) • What are the requirements that can not be handled? • . . .
