Abstract This ETSI Technical Report (ETR) lists all security features and mechanisms that the Security Techniques Advisory Group (STAG) has evaluated and which may be used in ETSI standards. However, this ETR merely presents guidelines for the selection and application of specific security mechanisms in an annex. If more specific advice is needed, references to relevant sources of information are given. Moreover, the ETSI STAG experts are ready to assist in case of questions and problems. In many cases, the security mechanisms are not officially standardized themselves, but are registered for use. Many of them are not published because of security considerations, but may be used in specific ETSI-applications. Since there is considerable activity in the fields of telecommunication and cryptology, this ETR is to be revised and updated regularly.
