Standards Development
Recommendation ITU-T X.500 | International Standard ISO/IEC 9594-1 provides an introduction to the ITU-T X.500 series | ISO/IEC 9594-all Parts, that covers both cybersecurity and directory concept.
The cybersecurity covers such aspect as being the framework for public-key infrastructure (PKI), formal specification and description of cryptographic algorithms, and secure communication protocols.
The Directory provides the directory capabilities required by many application layer standards and telecommunication services. The Directory is not intended to be a general-purpose database system, although it may be built on such systems. It is assumed, for instance, that, as is typical with communication directories, there is a considerably higher frequency of "queries" than of updates. The rate of updates is expected to be governed by the dynamics of people and organizations, rather than, for example, the dynamics of networks. There is also no need for instantaneous global commitment of updates; transient conditions, where both old and new versions of the same information are available, are quite acceptable.
