Canadian Network Security (CA:Sec) Grouping

The Reference Architecture provides specific Canadian implementation guidance for the implementation of the network security aspect of the ATNA profile in Canada. For details, refer to the RA section Canadian Network Security (CA:Sec) Implementation Guidance.

CA:Sec provides support for secure network communication. To allow for these features, CA:FeX actors can be grouped with CA:Sec actors.

If the grouping is in place, an actor from CA:FeX shall implement the required transactions and/or content modules in CA:FeX in addition to all the transactions required for the grouped actor (Column 2).

The CA:FeX actors, when grouped with CA:Sec Secure Application, shall use the Authenticate Node [ITI-19] transaction to ensure secure communication between actors.
