- Advanced security system of ETC
Organization for Road System Enhancement (ORSE), which was founded in September 1999 to make ETC convenient and safe for users, is centrally managing and offering advanced information security services consisting of the disclosure of the standard for data security and the provision of identification information.
The standard for data security is a common rule for protecting toll and private information from forgery, falsification and bugging, and is directly disclosed to only companies which have signed a security standard document for non-stop automatic toll collection and a secrecy agreement.
Identification information, which is used for ETC radio data transmission, is subject to encryption and decryption, and is provided with key data in order to protect privacy and ensure correct toll collection. Encryption means converting private information into a format that is difficult to decode by using code data, and decryption means restoring the converted information to its original state. ORSE is also providing initializing data for on-board equipment and roadside equipment which exploit such state-of-the-art encryption/decryption technologies.
