Tatsuo TomitaChairman

Realize a "reliable IT society"

IPA has promoted activities that play a role in IT policy since its

establishment in 2004 as a policy implementation agency under the

jurisdiction of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.

The way our society interacts with IT has been changing significantly

in recent years due to the progress of IoT, which will connect just

about everything to the Internet, the rapid improvement of big data

technologies and the rise of artificial intelligence.

We IPA look at "present" and "future" of IT society in a big picture and

we will endeavor to meet the challenges for creating safe and highly

convenient IT society and take actions for the future of IT society.

We are contributing to realize a "reliable IT Society" by approaching

three different perspectives - "IT Security", "IT Human Resources

Development" and "Development Promotion of Reliable Systems" - and

to solve the problems of IT society.

We humbly ask for your continued understanding and support.

Message from the Chairman

IPA has been established under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry as an Incorporated Administrative Agency.

Incorporated Administrative Agencies are organizations that implement policy which is planned by the government and established for the purpose of implementing projects in an effective and efficient manner, which may not always be carried out when it is entrusted entirely to private sectors.

Protecting Society from Cyber-attacksJ-CSIP・J-CRATJ-CSIP:Initiative for Cyber Security Information sharing Partnership of Japan

J-CRAT:Cyber Rescue and Advice Team against targeted attack of Japan

In recent years, cyber-attacks targeting organizations and businesses have become a significant threat, and in particular, countermeasures against targeted cyber-attacks have become an urgent societal issue we need to address.

IPA promotes projects called "J-CSIP" and "J-CRAT" to protect against the threat of targeted cyber-attacks against critical industries and societal infrastructure.

J-CSIP achieves early detection, deterrence and prevention of cyber-attacks against organizations by collecting actual cases and analyzing data of the attacks, and by sharing information regarding security measures.

J-CRAT assists organizations that have been suffered from cyber-attacks by analyzing the damage and supports to cope with the issue in an early stage, and prevents and reduces damage from spreading.

Developing Cybersecurity Human ResourcesIndustrial Cyber Security Center of Excellence

Registered Information Security Specialist (RISS) Scheme

In recent years, the risks of cyber-attacks are increasing drastically. The cyber-attacks are causing damage not only to private companies or individuals but also to the industrial infrastructures with the clear intention of threatening citizens’ lives and property.

To protect against these attacks and threats, the "Industrial Cyber Security Center of Excellence" will be established within the IPA in 2017 to develop core cybersecurity human resources through public and private cooperation.

The center will develop the human resources, technologies, and know-how for managing the core cybersecurity measures for critical infrastructure and industrial bases through practical experience, including exercises using mock plants and safety verification of actual systems.

These human resources will build a network of communicating with security professionals in their own fields, other industries, and overseas, to go on to lead comprehensive security strategic planning in each of their companies.

As a result of the drastic increase in cyber-attacks recently, cybersecurity countermeasures have become more crucial, and yet there is a shortage of human resources of carrying out these sorts of security measures. For this reason, a national qualification called "Registered Information Security Specialist (RISS)" was established in October 2016 to register individuals possessing high-level practical ability in cybersecurity.

As the organization implementing this scheme, IPA is administering operations related to examination, registration, and training. By ensuring the quality of the human resources through continuous training attendance duty, and visualization of the human resources through publication of their registration information, IPA strives to develop, ensure, and promote the cybersecurity personnel required by businesses and organizations.

Information Security Measure Dissemination and Awareness Raising Project

In order to use IT safely, the users themselves must raise their level of awareness of information security as well as carry out security measures.

In order to disseminate information security measures to individuals, businesses, and organizations, IPA publishes a variety of booklets summarizing information regarding security information, publishing information for training and the like, and conducting various seminars and events.

Vulnerability Countermeasures Promotion ProjectIf weakness ("vulnerability") in operating systems and software, or in the products which contain these systems is left unaddressed, it can lead to unauthorized access, virus infections, and the data leakage of personal information.

In order to encourage users to carry out vulnerability countermeasures, IPA operates a "vulnerability notification scheme" and a "vulnerability information database," and we release information regarding vulnerability countermeasures publicly.

Assuring the Adequacy of SecurityJISEC

JCMVP

Based on the international standard ISO/IEC 15408, IPA operates a scheme to evaluate the adequacy and reliability of the security of IT products.

When procuring government systems that handle highly confidential information, the security risk of the systems can be reduced by adopting commercial IT products that have been evaluated and certified. The evaluation results under this scheme are mutually recognized for government procurement in 27 countries (as of March 2017) which have equivalent evaluation and certification schemes.

Cryptographic functions are embedded in electronic devices such as smartphones and encrypted USB drives to prevent information from being stealthily obtained or illicitly modified.

Based on the international standard ISO/IEC 19790, IPA operates a scheme to check the suitability and reliability of the cryptographic functions implemented in electronic devices to promote the safe use of software and electronic devices.

mission

Ensuring Safety and Reliability of IT Systems and Making System Development and Operation More Efficient

2

Our societal and economic infrastructure, and everyday life depend upon a wide variety of IT systems.

Therefore, these IT systems are required to be operated, without being hampered by the obstacles such

as cyber-attacks and system failures, stably and continuously under any circumstances.

Furthermore, as systems become more and more complex and diversified, more reliable and efficient

mechanisms for developing the systems themselves is required.

IPA is engaged in efforts to protect the safety and security of critical infrastructure systems, as well as

efforts to support the creation of safe and reliable systems that meet stringent requirements, and to use

IT to make dissemination of information more efficient.

Protecting the Safety and Security of Critical Infrastructure SystemsProject to Disseminate Techniques for Analyzing Risks and Evaluation in Critical Infrastructure Systems, and to Share Information on System Failures

When critical infrastructure stops functioning due to cyber-attacks, system failures, and the like, it has a tremendous impact on our society.

IPA is striving to disseminate techniques and know-how for analyzing and evaluating security risks in critical infrastructure control systems.

Moreover, in order to decrease the risk of system failures and reduce the impact that such failures have, we are collecting and analyzing actual cases of system failure, and promoting the construction of mechanisms for sharing the results widely across industries and fields.

Making System Development and Operation of IT Systems More Efficient

Lack of harmonization and unification of related fields

Uncertainties about risks and requirements are increasing due to the growth of system complexity

[STAMP/STPA]Analyze risks using a simple conceptual design model

[Upstream Process Strengthening in System Construction]Encourage system construction based on mutual recognition of risks and requirements by corporate users and vendors

[Systems Engineering]Lead systems that blend a variety of fields to a successful conclusion

Project to Encourage Introducing Systematic Methods and Popularize Mechanisms for Realizing High Reliability Systems

There has been an increase in complex systems "SoS (System of Systems)" in which independent systems form interrelationships to provide value in recent years, and there has been a trend toward components with greater capabilities and more diversified coordination.

In order to develop systems that can support these characteristics, IPA works on encouraging system development that is based on the concept of "systems engineering."

More specifically, within systems engineering we are focusing on "system safety assurance" and "upstream processes in system construction," and we are also working to popularize "STAMP (Systems-Theoretic Accident Model and Processes)," which models accidents and failures in complex systems, and "STPA (Systems-Theoretic Process Analysis)," a technique for identifying risks and devising countermeasures. In addition, in light of the fact that insufficient agreement on upstream process requirements between corporate users and vendors is thought to be the cause of most project failures and operational problems, we are striving toward realizing highly reliable systems by publishing guidebooks about strengthening upstream processes.

Standardization of Common Vocabulary

When requesting relief supplies, the term "water" that was utilized in the systems did not have a unified definition, which resulted in delays in providing the supplies

Common Vocabulary Standardization Project

Character Information (Moji-Joho) Project

One of the topics related to encouraging the use of public data ("open data") held by governments and municipalities is "standardization of vocabulary." Even if terms are easy for a human being to understand, machines have difficulty comprehending the meaning of terms by themselves if their expression and structure differ due to the particular systems and circumstances, which results in an obstacle to communicate between systems and the secondary use of data.

In order to solve this problem, IPA promotes a "Common Vocabulary Standardization Project" in which the definitions of terms used in data are standardized by attaching "attributes" and "meanings" to them.

In administrative affairs that involves handling family registration information, approximately 60,000 characters are used in order to render peoples’ names accurately. Of these, characters that are not part of the international standard are time-consuming and costly to communicate between differing systems.

IPA is involved in a "Character Information Infrastructure Creation Project" in which the approximately 60,000 characters are prepared and internationally standardized so that character information that is outside the range of particular systems can be communicated smoothly.
