112 readiness
Policy, location, routing, and response quality connected in one operational model.

Identity and Authentication
Identity in emergency communications is broader than caller ID. It includes network identity, certificate identity, originating service identity, data-source provenance and administrative user access to critical systems.
Network/data source
->Authentication
->Trusted emergency transaction
->Audit
What it does
Identity and authentication help emergency systems decide which networks, services and data sources are trusted.
Identity controls establish trust across interconnects, data retrieval and operational administration.
How it works
- Authenticates systems using certificates, credentials or controlled interconnects.
- Tracks provenance for data presented to PSAPs.
- Controls administrator access to routing and location systems.
Key interfaces and protocols
- TLS certificates
- API authentication
- SIP identity concepts
- Audit logs
Systems it interacts with
- Security
- TLS
- BCF
- Additional data
- PSAP
Common failure modes
- Trusted source spoofing
- Credential sharing
- Certificate identity mismatch
- Data shown without provenance
Implementation considerations
- Record source and timestamp for emergency data.
- Use role-based administration.
- Test certificate rollover.
Standards
- IETF/ETSI security practices
- National operational controls
