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 the Security Data and the provision of Processed Data for Identification.
The Standard for the Security Data 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.
A Processed Data for Identification, necessary for encryption and decryption used for ETC radio data transmission, 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 (OBE) and roadside equipment which exploit such state-of-the-art encryption/decryption technologies.
