1 What is new in the V2.0 CITES

electronic permitting toolkit
Since the publication of the first version of the CITES electronic permitting toolkit in January 2010, the
CITES Secretariat and the World Customs Organization (WCO) have reached agreement on the
inclusion of standards related to the development of CITES e-permitting systems in version 3.3 of the
WCO Data Model. This achievement builds on many years of successful collaboration and joint work
between the CITES Secretariat and the WCO and is reflective of efforts to use new information and
communication technologies to assist countries to more effectively regulate and facilitate legal,
sustainable and traceable trade in CITES-listed species.
The results of this initiative will also provide the necessary framework for other multi-lateral
environmental agreements and protocols to develop similar documents that are harmonized with the
WCO Data Model and to establish Single Window environments, enabling them to ensure their
permits and certificates are harmonized with international standards and norms and are able to benefit
from important projects related to international trade in wildlife, particularly with regard to the use of
modern communication and information technologies, and the implementation of a Single Window
environments.
As a result of this cooperation, the WCO has published version 3.3 of the WCO Data Model which now
includes support for CITES e-permits in a Single Windows environment. To accompany this new
version, the WCO has also updated the UN/EDIFACT (United Nations rules for Electronic Data
Interchange for Administration, Commerce and Transport) UNSM (United Nations Standard Message)
to cover Single Window Government Agency requirements which include the requirements for
UN/EDIFACT e-permitting.
This new version of the CITES electronic permitting toolkit has been developed in order to reflect
these new e-permitting possibilities, While the content of the first part of the Toolkit has not been
changed significantly, this updated V2.0 Toolkit has an expanded technical Annex (section 4) as
follows:

Two new sections have been added to the technical annexes to cover a) the CITES epermitting subset of the WCO Data Model and b) the e-permitting subset of the GOVCBR
(Government Cross Border Regulatory) UN/EDIFACT message.

In order to develop the CITES e-permitting subset of the WCO Data Model, a very small
number of data model structural adjustments were necessary to the V1.0 Core Components epermitting data model in order to benefit implementers who may need to deploy both versions.
The updated version which is now based on the D12B version of the UNCEFACT Core
Component Library is provided in the second section of the Technical Annex. The semantic
content has not been changed in this V2.0 and any implementer of the V1.0 e-permitting
schemas should apply to the CITES Secretariat for all the details of the adjustments.

In addition to the aligned Core Component and WCO data model subsets, this version of the
toolkit includes a mapping between the two.

A mapping between the new WCO Data Model subset and the GOVCBR UN/EDIFACT subset
is also provided.

Finally, schemas and examples are provided for both data model subsets.

2 Introduction
At its 13th meeting (CoP13, Bangkok, 2004), the Conference of the Parties (CoP) discussed issues
related to the use of computerized systems to meet obligations set out in the Convention and related
Resolutions and Decisions. Some Parties expressed the view that the development of an electronic
licensing system would greatly assist in the handling and processing of CITES applications, the
issuance of electronic permits and the collation and dissemination of CITES trade information.
Electronic permitting was further discussed by the CoP at its 14th meeting (CoP14, The Hague, 2007),
where Parties adopted Decision 14.55, extending the mandate of the Working Group on Information
Technologies and Electronic Systems, and Decision 14.56 directing the Secretariat to prepare a CDROM and Web-based toolkit on electronic permitting systems for consideration at the 57th meeting of
the Standing Committee. The toolkit on electronic permitting systems would include:
a) advice on the use of common information exchange formats, protocols and standards for
use with electronic permitting systems;
b) advice on the use of electronic signatures and other electronic security measures;
c) advice on the development and implementation of interoperable information exchange pilot
projects on electronic permitting systems;
d) a list of Parties willing to assist less developed countries in developing electronic permitting
systems;
e) a list of Parties currently using electronic permitting systems; and
f) information on new developments in the use of electronic documents by relevant
organizations.
At its 15th meeting (Doha, 2010), the CoP adopted Decision 15.54 where Parties are encouraged to
use the CITES Electronic Permitting Toolkit found on the CITES website to develop or update national
electronic permitting systems.
The CoP also adopted Decision 15.56 directed to the Secretariat:
a) In collaboration with the Working Group on Information Technologies and Electronic
Systems, the Secretariat shall, subject to external funding:
b) update the CITES electronic toolkit according to new electronic permitting standards and
norms;
c) work with relevant international organizations and initiatives related to electronic permitting
systems to raise awareness of CITES business procedures and permitting requirements;
and
d) organize capacity-building workshops to assist Parties in using the CITES electronic
permitting toolkit to develop, implement or update electronic permitting systems.
Version 2 of the toolkit provides advice on the use of common information exchange formats,
protocols and standards, advice on signatures and other electronic security measures, and information
on new developments in the use of electronic documents by relevant organizations, for Parties
implementing CITES electronic permitting systems, or for Parties developing and implementing
interoperable information exchange pilot projects on electronic permitting systems.
The toolkit is a work in progress; it will continue to be updated with new developments related to
electronic commerce and documentation and incorporate new standards and norms. It must also
continue to be tightly integrated with the norms pertaining to other documentation accompanying
specimens of CITES-listed species in trade.
4

In the planning and design phase of the toolkit, the Secretariat and the Working Group on Information
Technologies and Electronic Systems were presented with three primary challenges. First, the toolkit
had to be harmonized and compliant with paper-based permitting procedures, so that Parties would
have the choice of using new electronic permitting systems or existing paper-based systems. Second,
harmonization with international standards and norms, particularly those developed by UN/CEFACT
and the WCO was necessary to allow integration with national projects establishing single-window
initiatives. Last, the toolkit had to be designed with sufficient flexibility to accommodate future
developments and updates to international standards and norms.
Work achieved in the drafting of the CITES electronic permitting toolkit met a need expressed by
Parties that have developed or are developing electronic permitting systems.
This need refers to the lack of guidance on how to ensure interoperability among national electronic
permitting systems and compliance with international standards and norms, which results in a
duplication of effort and an inability to exchange electronic permit data easily and in a timely manner.
Parties can use the advice provided herein in order to exchange permit data electronically should they
wish to do so.
The toolkit promotes the use of standards and norms that are needed when implementing electronic
exchange procedures. At the international level, Parties can integrate CITES electronic permits in
Single Window environments, thereby contributing to more efficient trade procedures.
The toolkit also represents a new level of cooperation with organizations and initiatives aiming to
facilitate trade, ensuring greater security and less fraud, and harmonizing documentation in
international commerce. As more Parties establish Single Windows and require electronic
documentation as pre-requisites for international trade, CITES will be well poised to adapt and
contribute to these new initiatives.
Moving towards CITES electronic permitting systems
An important initial implementation step in the move towards establishing an electronic permitting
system is to describe the existing paper-based and/or electronic CITES data management system and
the current technical environment. This is commonly called the as-is description, and this step will
help to clarify and determine the future tasks to be considered during the development and
implementation of the electronic permitting systems. Describing the current CITES data management
process is essential for an understanding of who is involved, how they are connected to one another,
and whether the current data exchanges are paper-based, electronic or a combination of both. For
example, the relationships between the Management Authority and other bodies and agencies should
be documented in order to obtain a picture of who may be affected when a process undergoes a
modification or major change, and after identifying all the parties involved, the specific processes
relative to each can be described.
The description of the current CITES data management process should include the processes related
to the exchange of data and information between CITES Parties. The type, structure and format of the
data and information exchange should be detailed and may be documented as case studies, activity
diagrams, or process chains. Close scrutiny should be paid to data security and legal issues, and
security restrictions may be set by the Management Authorities or by higher-level government
agencies, or result from past procedures and existing restrictions. Legal restrictions and requirements
which may affect the way CITES data or other data is reported may be set by appropriate regulatory
bodies. Technical or security related legal requirements (e.g. electronic signature requirements) may
be set by national governments, regional organizations or other legal authorities, and these may have
an impact on planned CITES electronic permitting systems.
The description of the as-is situation should include a description of currently used software
applications and supporting hardware. Existing software and/or hardware may be capable of
supporting future technical requirements and documenting these possibilities may help with planning
and budgeting.
When analysing existing e-permitting systems, it may be necessary to identify legacy-related issues
such as whether there is a national legal requirement in force that mandates paper certificates or
5

permits and, if so, can the requirement be changed and when might the change occur. Other
considerations concern contractual constraints related to the currently installed software or hardware,
and whether there is an internal canonical data model for CITES data. If the latter is the case, the
model could be affected by any decisions to adhere to an international data model standard.
Any review of existing e-permitting systems should identify, prioritize and fully describe any current
problems related to its implementation. A careful analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the
current e-permitting systems should be completed, taking into account the different experiences of
CITES Authorities, Customs, and commercial and private users.
After the review, it is possible to move on to developing implementation scenarios for an e-permitting
system, and two steps should be considered.

Defining the proposed data exchange between CITES Authorities, and between Management
Authorities and businesses (these interaction levels are often referred to as Government-toGovernment (G2G) or Business-to-Government (B2G) interactions).

Defining the types of application or interface that are proposed for the exchange of data.
Examples of these include Web services, electronic forms (e-forms) or file transfers exchanged
directly between agencies/users or through a Web-based application.

Key decisions affecting implementation of electronic permitting systems include define the interaction
level at which the system will operate (e.g. only between selected government agencies, between
Management Authorities and selected commercial traders, or between Management Authorities and
1
all users of the system), how data will be exchanged, and what kind of interface will be used .
The next major step in the process towards establishing an electronic permitting system is to describe
the long-term objectives of the national e-permitting system, also known as the to-be description. The
topics to be considered are similar to those described in the as-is documentation, and it is important
that stakeholders are consulted actively in defining the objectives of the electronic permitting system.
The to-be description should consider the vision and goals to be achieved, including any restrictions
or requirements which will need to be addressed. These will typically be motivated by factors such as
security concerns, technical issues as well as CITES requirements. The description should include
any anticipated future data exchange initiatives between internal or external parties and their
processes, including an indication of timeframes, such as when a data exchange initiative is to start;
future developments that will or may affect the plan; and relevant technical specifications of these
initiatives.
The to-be description should consider the feasibility of converting all current paper-based processes
to a fully electronic system, or to support a paper and an electronic system in parallel. For either
scenario, a predicted timetable will be necessary. The conversion scenario will need to consider any
requirements for supporting computer-to-computer, computer-to-human (human-to-computer) and/or
human-to-human data exchange processes, as necessary. The to-be description will also need to
consider security requirements for data exchange, all known planned requirements of related partner
agencies (e.g. if a Customs inspection system requires real-time access to CITES permit data via
Web services) and what the anticipated impacts on CITES processes would be.
Finally, the to-be description should estimate any benefits in terms of resource optimization or
reduction of staff costs that may result from an electronic permitting system.

The CITES e-permit XML schema which is presented in the toolkit (see Annex X) has been designed
to support all implementation scenarios regardless of the technical interface used. However, an
existing environment or the desired environment may have impacts or restrictions that will affect the
implementation scenarios.

3.1 CITES toolkit technical introduction

This chapter will analyze and describe trade scenarios and processes relevant to the control of the
trading of CITES-listed species.
Analysis of these questions may be useful to Parties implementing (to-be) or further developing (as-is)
national electronic permitting systems. The resultant process description can assist in answering the
following questions:

Who is involved in the exchange of import/export authorizations?

Which processes have been defined and implemented? Which processes must remain as is
and which may be changed?

Are optimizations possible?

What are the benefits of a new solution?

Who will benefit from a new solution?

The main groups involved in the CITES e-permit process are traders (B = business level) and
Customs, CITES Management Authorities or other governmental bodies (G = governmental level).
These groups can interact with each other in specified ways.
Relationships or interactions among those groups can take place on different levels. The level of
2
interaction (B2B, B2G and G2G ) within the scope of a particular e-permit implementation will
influence the technical and security aspects of that CITES implementation.
The international trade process in regard to the CITES Convention can be summarized in two main
directional processes: the import and export (or re-export) of CITES-listed species.
Currently, in the B2B and B2G scenarios most of the data exchange processes in many CITES
implementation environments are paper based.
The introduction of electronic data exchanges will create opportunities for more sophisticated solutions
and higher level interactions such as G2G or inclusion in the Single Window concept as supported
through G2G data exchanges.
Furthermore, in the following description of the technical process, attention is given to potential
impacts of implementation on the different process scenarios. Attention is also given to how a choice
of a solution for a particular environment may be dependent on compatibility and security needs.
The process diagrams assist in visualizing and clarifying issues related to implementation of e-permit
systems of the current situation of an existing implementation. It also assists in identifying potential
optimizations by enhancing current paper-based processes with electronic data exchange in different
scenarios.

Every CITES electronic permitting system requires first and foremost the unambiguous definition of,
and the structural relationships between the pieces of information which are used across the CITES
trade and administrative processes. These definitions and structural relationships can be provided by
either an ebXML compliant or a WCO Data Model compliant CITES payload syntax neutral subset
data model (see Chapter 4 Annexes). Such a CITES e-permit data model subset offers the blueprint
for the implementation of compliant and interoperable systems of CITES-permit-related information
To be able to exchange CITES data between CITES Authorities and other bodies/agencies nationally
and internationally, it is necessary to define a technical exchange format for the data. This is provided
by a World Wide Web Consortia (W3C) compliant and ebXML conformant CITES XML schema.
The relationship between the CITES payload syntax neutral data model and the CITES XML schema
is that the CITES XML schemas have been fully auto-generated from the CITES or WCO data model
subsets. The key reason for this standards approach is that, by keeping the underlying CITES data
model consistent and free of technical errors, and by generating the CITES XML schema
automatically from it, maintenance becomes easier and cheaper than if the XML schema were
generated and maintained manually.
Maintaining the distinction between a payload syntax neutral data model and the XML exchange
format allows the use of the CITES data models as a canonical format for the mapping to (or even the
generation of) other payload grammars, such as other W3C compliant schemas, other XML schemas,
ISO XML, comma-delimited exchange formats (CSV) or classic EDI formats such as UN/EDIFACT.
Another reason is that the innovation cycles related to the Internet and XML environments are very
short and the use of a payload neutral model is more likely to be adaptable to technological change.
The first of the two CITES data model subsets is based on the UN/CEFACT Core Component Library
(CCL) which is compliant with ISO 15000 ebXML Core Component Technical Specification (CCTS).
The UN/CEFACT Core Component Library (CCL) has been set up as a library of reusable data
structures by harmonizing submissions from trade, transport, insurance, tendering, tourism,
government agencies like Customs or phytosanitary and many others.
The second of the two CITES data model subsets is based on the WCO Data Model version 3.3 which
is recommended for supporting implementation of International Trade Single Windows systems.
The CITES CCL based data model presented in this toolkit defines a restricted profile of the
UN/CEFACT CCL version D12B and it contains only the data structures and elements which will be
needed for the exchange of CITES data. The CITES UN/CEFACT XML schema presented in this
toolkit is conformant to the UN/CEFACT XML naming and design rules.
The CITES WCO Data Model subset presented in this toolkit defines a restricted profile of the WCO
Data Model version 3.3 and it contains only the data structures and elements which will be needed for
the exchange of CITES data. The CITES WCO XML schema presented in this toolkit is conformant to
the WCO XML naming and design rules.
The CITES GOVCBR subset presented in this toolkit defines a restricted profile of the UN/EDIFACT
standard message GOVCBR and it contains only the data structures and elements which will be
needed for the exchange of CITES data. The CITES GOVCBR Message Implementation Guide (MIG)
presented in this toolkit is conformant to the UN/EDIFACT syntax.
The reuse of any of these CITES data exchange specifications for e-permitting implementations
supports greater interoperability across all the sectors, parties and boundaries of Cross Border Trade.
The two provided CITES data models and the three syntax specific exchange specifications provided
in the Chapter 4 annexes are fully aligned to each other. The UN/CEFACT based data model may be
the most appropriate choice for trader to CITES Authority data exchanges and the WCO based data
model may be the most appropriate choice for the CITES Authority data exchanges with other CITES
Authorities or Customs etc.

The CITES and related Customs and other governmental agency scenarios are exchanging nearly
identical data structures, which are basically consignment based. In other words, both the electronic
and paper documents are profiles of the same basic structure. The CITES e-permit XML schemas and
9

the GOVCBR MIG specification each cover all the data needed to describe the exchange of CITES
relevant information referring to the processes of an import, export, re-export or other types of CITES
permit processes and for all cases in regard to the CITES appendices.
The provided specifications may not cover all possible specific national requirements where they may
differ from the CITES standard because of the variety of national rules and regulations. However,
where known, some specific requirements for national or regional implementations have been
included.
Future more advanced scenarios with extended data requirements may be developed, such as
providing XML schemas for Web services to include queries to the CITES Trade Database or other
relevant databases. The CITES e-permitting data exchange specifications may then be the subject of
further development to include these new requirements.
By design, the CITES e-permitting data exchange specifications support Single Window environments
and international trade-related data interoperability. They have been designed to maximize their
suitability for future data exchange requirements.
However, the scope of this project is defined pursuant to Decision 14.55. The CITES e-permitting data
exchange specifications described in this toolkit concentrate on providing the necessary
interoperability of data in B2G and G2G interactions.
In practice, XML schemas are commonly developed for two usages which can be human-related and
application-related. From a human-related perspective, XML schemas offer a human-readable
presentation of exchangeable data structures and its documentation. Furthermore, applications can
be supported by document structures which are expressed in XML schemas.
The CITES e-permitting data exchange specifications have been developed to meet as many of the
above criteria as possible. In the opinion of the Secretariat the chosen combination of the reuse of
these e-permitting data exchange specifications offers a flexible and future looking way forward.

3.1.1 General description of CITES business processes

3.1.1.1 Involved parties
Applying a new technical CITES (e-)permit system may have impacts on processes of other parties
such as Customs authorities. Business procedures or technical implementations may have to be
changed and the readiness of other parties to adopt the new solutions has to be checked before.
From the view of the CITES Management Authority the following parties may have specific interests in
communicating to the authority:

Trade parties (e.g. importer, exporter, carrier)

Governmental administrations (e.g. customs, health, environment)

Other CITES executing bodies (e.g. scientific agencies)

CITES Management Authorities of other countries

Generally, all parties need to be able to:

Access the CITES Management Authoritys offered interface solution

10

Be granted the appropriate access/edit rights in order to process the information

Additional features and options for exchanging and processing CITES data more efficiently may be
offered to participating partner agencies. Some important options which could be available include:
Trade parties
Track and Trace functionalities whereby the status of CITES permits or the movement of
CITES specimens (passed-the-checkpoint-successfully type of feedback) can be kept up-todate by and exchanged between involved parties

Efficient collaborative master data management via a secure Web application

One stop data input of required trade data when applying for a CITES permit or certificate.

Customs
Ability to request detailed up-to-date information from the CITES Management Authority about
the status of a CITES permit at the time when the goods need to be examined at a border
checkpoint. This requirement may include the development of a new user front-end where the
CITES permit reference number can be entered and referenced to the CITES Management
Authorities database

Access to CITES species information stored in a CITES database which may be made
possible via Web services

Ability to recall an existing CITES permit when required

Ability to adjust the certified quantity of the imported CITES goods to match the inspected
quantity as ascertained at a border crossing point.

Other CITES Management Authorities

Facility to exchange e-permits between agencies

Ability to forward the necessary data of a request submitted by a trader, customs or other
institution via Web services to the appropriate authority for further automated processing and
immediate feedback

Ability to automatically respond to any received request from a CITES Management Authority
in another country.

3.1.1.2 Business levels of data interaction among the involved parties

It is possible to identify the following data exchange scenarios all of which may be relevant to CITES
e-permit system requirements:

Business-to-Government (B2G)
B2G in the context of CITES data exchange means a business party (e.g. exporter/importer)

Government-to-Government (G2G)
G2G in the context of CITES data exchange can have two connotations which can be referred
to as the external G2G and the internal G2G.
The external case is when there is an interaction between a CITES Management Authority of
one country (e.g. the exporter country) and the CITES Management Authority (e.g. the
importer country) of another country.

11

The internal case is when there occurs data exchange internally in a country between its
CITES Management Authority and related national governmental agencies.

3.1.1.3 Issues related to implementation

Applications, interfaces and possible data exchange technologies are factors which may define the
implementation of a CITES e-permitting system. All typical components of data exchange must be
defined including the data exchange format, the chosen data transfer protocol and the data input and
output application, among others.
Electronic forms and documents
The development of an electronic CITES permit form involves the conversion of the data fields
present in the paper document into a suitable electronic format which provides a more
convenient way for a user to insert his/her data values. The required conversions include the
implementation of tick boxes into radio buttons and the addition of drop-down code lists.
Business rules can also be integrated into the e-form definition so that data validation can be
built in to increase the accuracy of the submitted data and for increased ease of use. The data
may have to be inserted manually into the resultant interactive document (e.g. PDF e-form) or,
alternatively, there may be direct linkages to the data through the use of an application.
However completed, an XML file can be created easily and transferred electronically as an email (SMTP) or more directly via the Internet (HTTP, HTTPS).
The secure transfer of the XML file or an interactive document should be carefully considered
and all necessary security methods employed such as https, digital signature or smart card.
The security method will determine the choice of the transport protocol.

The implementation of an e-form solution has only low-level, readily available and reasonably
low-cost technical requirements such as PDF reader software, an Internet connection and an
Internet browser.
Web Application
A Web application provides an efficient way of implementing e-permit procedures. The user
has easy access to his/her e-permit status information via a Web application using a login
name and password. All data entry can be done using one online application which is
accessible via an Internet browser.
Master user data could be submitted once, saved and maintained in a database and reused
several times. An interaction between different documents and e-permit tasks could be
created and a history logged to provide statistics and traceability.
The technical requirements are the Web application, an Internet connection and an Internet
browser.

The usage of a Web application can generate some drawbacks such as the need for access
to the Internet or an intranet. Another disadvantage may be that if there media breaks occur
between two data exchanging parties, it may be necessary to re-enter the data a second time.
Web Service
Web service technology allows the connection of applications by communicating via a
network. A Web service can be used to transfer and process CITES data automatically without
a manually initiated user request or response actions.
A good example of a CITES Web service would be the automated lookup of CITES scientific
names of species directly from a drop-down menu of an e-form.
Again security aspects and data transfer protocols should be considered carefully.
The requirements of the usage of Web services are: to be online and to have real time
database access not only on the side of the data provider but for the data retriever, too.

12

Single Window enhancements

There are possibilities for significant improvements of the CITES e-permitting processes through the
implementation of a Single Window approach.
A Single Window in an international trade regulatory environment can be described as a facility that
allows all traders to submit their regulatory required information electronically with each piece of
information submitted once and only once through a single entry point.
From a CITES perspective a Single Window can either be a single CITES Management Authority or a
wider national or regional Single Window covering Customs and other related regulatory bodies.
If a CITES Single Window is in place an importer or exporter can use the Single Window as an entry
point for submitting e-permit requests and for receiving responses from the MA. The submitted data
will be processed directly by the Management Authority. Depending on the available technical solution
this data can be exchanged with other Management Authorities as required.
If a national or regional Single Window is in place then submitted CITES data will be routed to the
Management Authority through the Single Window and responses from the Management Authority to
the trader will also be routed through the Single Window.
Whichever Single Window is available, the trader and the Management Authority should benefit from
lower costs and greater efficiencies.

3.2 Common information exchange standards

This chapter presents guidelines on the use of common information exchange formats, protocols and
standards for use with CITES e-permitting systems.
Some standards are described briefly, but as it is not within the scope of this toolkit to offer a
comprehensive explanation to all possible standards, references are provided in these cases for
accessing further information if required.

3.2.1 Guidance on relevant cross-border data exchange related standards

3.2.1.1 WCO SAFE framework 3
In 2005 166 members of WCO accepted the Framework of Standards to Secure and Facilitate Global
Trade (SAFE Framework). The goal of this instrument is to enforce a closer relationship between
international business and Customs highlighting the security and efficiency aspects in international
trade.
To achieve the goals set by the WCO Framework some elements of the framework are considered to
be essential.
One aspect of the framework, referring to the acceleration of electronic trade, is the development of a
WCO data model which will be established to cover all governmental requirements, relevant trade
processes from a customs point of view and also commercial issues relating to border clearances.
The currently available WCO data model is version 3.3 which includes a range of data elements and
data structures explicitly defined by WCO covering not only goods import and export declarations,
cargo declarations and conveyance reports but also covering Single Window governmental agency
processes.
This version widens the data model to include some of the regulatory border release requirements of
Partner Governmental Agencies (PGAs) such as CITES, eTIR, Phyto-Sanitary regulatory
requirements at the border. The WCO Data Model profile, WCO XML schema and GOVCBR MIG
included in the Annexes of this toolkit are based on the WCO Data Model version 3.3.

(UN/CEFACT) is defined as:
The United Nations, through its Centre for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business, supports
activities dedicated to improving the ability of business, trade and administrative organizations, from
developed, developing and transitional economies, to exchange products and relevant services
effectively. Its principal focus is on facilitating national and international transactions, through the
simplification and harmonisation of processes, procedures and information flows, and so contribute to
the growth of global commerce.
UN/CEFACT International Supply Chain Reference Model (ISCRM)
UN/CEFACT is developing a business process model which reflects supply chain processes from an
international trade perspective which is known as the ISCRM. The scope of the ISCRM project is to
covers commercial, logistics, regulatory and financial processes.

The UN/CEFACT BSP data model consists of data structures used across the processes defined in
the UN/CEFACT International Supply Chain Reference Model (ISCRM). These data structures are a
subset of the UN/CEFACT Core Component Library (CCL) which means that they are compliant with
the UN/CEFACT Core Components Technical Specification v2.01 (CCTS) which is also known as ISO
TS15000-5 and ebXML Part 8. The full BSP data model covers data requirements to support the
commercial (BUY), transport and regulatory (SHIP) and financial (PAY) procedures of cross border
trade processes.
The BSP data model is especially in line with the requirements of the cross-border transport sector
and therefore covers the core of the CITES regulatory requirements in an international trade
environment.

Figure 1

The UN/CEFACT BSP data model and its derived components have been chosen as the basis from
which to derive the subset CITES Standard e-Permit data model structure which will be introduced as
an implementable solution in the CITES reference data model chapter of this toolkit. The CITES data
model subset is therefore reusing the naming and data structure of an already existing sophisticated
library which is approved as a UN/CEFACT Business Standard.
Because this data model conforms to the UN/CEFACT Core Component Library (CCL) and is based
on the Core Components Technical Specification (CCTS), it is well placed to support future Single
Window approaches and is extendable to fulfil future needs through submissions to the UN/CEFACT
CCL Management Group (TBG17).

UN/CEFACT Core Components Technical Specification (CCTS)

CCTS provides rules for the definition of context neutral and context specific information in reusable
building blocks which are called core components. UN/CEFACT has developed a library of CCTS core
components covering the international supply chain (B2B, B2G and G2G) and this library is
maintained and published by UN/CEFACT. It is called the UN/CEFACT Core Component Library
(CCL) and it is available from the UN/CEFACT website free of charge.

15

The UN/CEFACT BSP Data Model is based on the UN/CEFACT Core Component Library.

UN/CEFACT XML
UN/CEFACT has defined a set of naming and design rules which are based on the W3C schema
definition language (XSD) and can be used to express Core Component message assemblies as XML
schemas. The specification of the UN/CEFACT XML Naming and Design Rules (NDR) Technical
Specification can be downloaded from the UN/CEFACT website.
To be conformant to UN/CEFACT XML, the XML Schemas must follow the UN/CEFACT XML NDR.

UNECE recommendations
UN/CEFACT has published a set of trade facilitation recommendations which are available free of
charge from the UN/CEFACT website. For example, there are recommendation on code lists including
ISO Country and Currency code lists, the UNLOCODE, INCOTERMS, Package Type codes etc.
together with recommendations on how to use them.
Recommendation 1 describes how to align the layout of trade documents to the UN Layout Key (see
also below) which is followed by thousands of paper forms related to cross-border trading worldwide.
Recommendation 33 describes how to prepare for a Single Window approach.
Unite Nations Layout Key
As one of the first recommendations made by UNECE in 1973, the United Nations Layout Key for
trade documents (UNLK) still plays a very important role for facilitating international trade. The main
function of the UNLK is to present a standard and universal design for any paper document which can
be exchanged by parties in the international supply chain. The UNLK is a joint standard developed
with ISO where it is referred to as ISO 6422.
Because of the broad acceptance of this recommendation thousands of documents have been aligned
to the UNLK and time and costs of document processing have over the years been decreased for
many administrative processes significantly.
ISO is currently considering to adopt a new work item to develop an equivalent standard for electronic
international trade documents to be called the eUNLK or ISO 6422 Part 2.
United Nations Trade Data Elements Directory
The United Nations Trade Data Elements Directory (UNTDED) offers a standard list for trade elements
which can be used for data exchange in international trade. UNTDED version 2005 is another joint
standard with ISO which is known as the official ISO Standard ISO7372.

3.3 Development of a migration strategy

A key factor in the development of a migration strategy and its implementation plan is that they must
always start from the existing as-is situation. This means that one of the dependencies will be the
minimisation of any negative impacts on existing system structures and the current data exchange
techniques during the implementation stages.
Below are some general issues, which may be considered when drafting a project plan for
implementation:

Assessment of the benefits of an iterative approach

Re-evaluation of long term goals as identified in the to-be situation to address any changes or
emerging changes in relevant external and/or internal environments. These could include
legislative constraints, etc.

Comparison of the as-is situation with the to-be situation from different perspectives such as
technical, business and security

Making use of experience and adoption of proven best practises learned from other successful
implementations

Consideration of the impact of the developments of other related parties i.e. trading partners
consideration of where they could help and how they might affect the project plan

Assessment of which steps are feasible at which stage considering the dependencies of all
relevant factors such as time, costs and prerequisites?

Wherever possible, include a plan for a beta environment to run in parallel to the implemented
solution and also consideration of how to introduce a beta environment in parallel with the asis i.e. current processes.

In order to encourage migration to the new environment, the development of an incentive plan
which could be offered to trading partners could be considered.

3.3.1 Analysis of the situation and identification of requirements

To gain a concise picture of the current (as-is) situation, implemented systems, their processes and
compatibilities should be analysed. This exercise should include aspects of technologies used and
security and business issues. This collated information about the current situation will assist to identify
strengths, weaknesses and requirements for improvements in any future solutions.
Which of the three general types of permit systems does/will exist?

Fully paper-based permission process

Parallel e-permission: Supports both paper-based or electronic e-permission processes in

parallel

Fully electronic e-permission process using interactive online forms, Web services or direct
XML exchanges

What can be improved and which possible improvements depend on implementing new technologies?

Which parts of the existing system can remain in place and be integrated with the future
system, which parts will have to be modified or extended and will there be new processes
17

which will need to be to be integrated?

Could the adoption of an existing solution used by a Party offer the required functionalities?

Which open, interoperable and international Standards could or should be followed for
defining required data exchange formats?

Which data exchange model(s) will be adopted, i.e. PULL or PUSH?

Which technologies (e.g. Web service, e-form or application) will be needed for
implementation?

If plans are to build common data exchange structures and techniques between Parties, then
jointly designed technical building blocks will need to be developed, implemented and
maintained collaboratively between all the participating parties (e.g. building a Web service
driven single window solution between CITES Management Authorities)

Which security issues have to be considered?

Basic security:
Confidentiality, integrity, authenticity and availability

Document security:
Electronic data exchange employing encryption techniques, (XML) digital signatures,
electronic certificates and certification authorities

Application security:
User access controls (Registration with username and password, Smart Card etc.)

Data Transfer:
Electronic protocols and digital security mechanisms (https, SSL),

3.3.2 Development of a project plan

Developing a migration strategy leading from the as-is to the to-be situation requires the determination
of several factors which will potentially influence the process of implementation. These variable factors
can be fixed in a project plan and some of them are listed below:

What is the implementation time schedule?

What are the costs?

What is the technical implementation plan?

How will testing, e.g. maintaining parallel systems, be planned?

Creation of a test environment to check the functionality and stability of the new, modified or
alternative system

3.3.3 Benefits and risks

What will be the quantifiable and qualitative benefits? These may include items such as:

Preparation and capacity for future requirements (Single window support, XML schema
techniques, electronic forms support etc.)

Higher efficiency (savings of time and costs)

Error reduction

3.5 Single Windows

3.5.1 Introduction
The UNECE has developed a Single Window Trade Facilitation Recommendation (UN
Recommendation 33) which includes the following definition:
Within the context of this Recommendation, a Single Window is
defined as a facility that allows parties involved in trade and transport to
lodge standardized information and documents with a single entry point
to fulfil all import, export, and transit-related regulatory requirements. If
information is electronic, then individual data elements should only be
submitted once.
The WCO has further refined the UNECE definition as follows:
A Single Window Environment is a cross border, intelligent, facility
that allows parties involved in trade and transport to lodge standardized
information, mainly electronic, with a single entry point to fulfil all import,
export and transit related regulatory requirements.
An International Trade Single Window environment is designed to increase efficiency for traders and
governmental agencies alike for all activities around import/export clearance procedures including
permits and certificates. Users are provided with a single, coordinated interface to many different
government agencies. Required data will be automatically and electronically exchanged between all
market partners and government bodies through one interface. The primary objective is that each
element of required data should only have to be submitted once thereby reducing the considerable
data redundancy caused by todays separated regulatory interfaces and functions.
Additional information on Single Windows and practical steps for their implementation can be found in
Recommendation No. 33 of UN/CEFACT (Recommendation and Guidelines on establishing a Single
6
Window to enhance the efficient exchange of information between trade and government).

3.5.1.1 Overall benefits of a Single Window approach

The Single Window concept describes how a Single Window can provide improved services to
businesses, increased national or regional competitiveness by offering reductions in documentary
burdens on traders as well as delivering improved coordination and streamlining of government
operations.
Harmonised networking between Single Windows across the globe offers further increases in the
benefits when complemented by compliance goals and mutual recognition of secure trading
frameworks between countries.
Additionally, the recognised benefits in speed of data exchange, increased security and increased
process efficiencies of electronic data transfers will be available to any Single Window environment.
As a result further benefits such as the secure exchange of pre-approval data and permits before
physical goods are going to be transported may be accrued.

3.5.1.2 Single Window initiatives

It will probably be helpful to have information on current Single Window developments which can give
an orientation about the possibilities of implementation. Such relevant reference projects would
include:
Single Window frameworks such as WCO (Global Customs based),, APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic
Cooperation), ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) and, ITAIDE (Information Technology
7
for Adoption and Intelligent Design for EGovernment)
Country governmental Single Window projects such as those implemented or being implemented in
Canada, France, Singapore, United Kingdomof Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and United States
of America

3.5.2 Specifics for the implementation of a CITES Single Window

3.5.2.1 Requirements
CITES Management Authorities wishing to offer services through a Single Window system should
consider the following steps:

Data structures and data elements exchanged must be defined clearly, unambiguously,
transparently and based on global semantic standards as much as possible. These definitions
should be made freely and easily accessible to all possible trading partners

All defined interfaces, exchange standards and formats should be harmonized and their
design should be optimised for maximum interoperability

The underlying data model and exchanged data should be designed to support possible future
enhancements related to CITES processes, border release procedures (e.g. Customs
inspections etc.) and other related documentary requirements (e.g. Phyto-Sanitary certificate,
certificate of origin etc.)

Use an existing Single Window environment as appropriate.. Naturally, this will require
alignment of CITES data requirements with those of the existing Single Window

3.5.2.2 Benefits of a CITES Single Window approach

Benets from a trader perspective
Lower costs in meeting CITES requirements

Faster clearance of goods resulting in increased efficiencies and, in the case of live animal
transport, an increase in animal health protection

Increased security and increased compliance with obligations under the Convention

More effective and efficient use of resources

Increased transparency of regulatory processes

ITAIDE aims to integrate and strengthen European research for innovative government by enhancing service
offerings and disseminating good governance practice through increased security and controls, while employing
intelligent software tools to reduce administrative load burden. ITAIDE addresses the issue of eCustoms: How
can customs documents and procedures be digitized and redesigned, and what business and administrative
challenges may be encountered?

22

Benets from a Management Authority perspective

Increased risk control , security and supervision management

Faster and less costly processing of CITES data

Easier collation and exchange of CITES statistical data

Simplified reporting requirements

3.6 Technical Specifications

3.6.1 Interoperability and application integration
Interoperability is the capacity of heterogeneous systems to be able to work together.
To establish or improve interoperability between applications and organisations, an understanding of
the following conceptual levels of interoperability is useful:
Business Process level
The business process level defines when and why certain data is exchanged between organizations
or organizational units. Interoperability is achieved by aligning distinct business processes with one
another.
Data Semantic level
This level is related to the content of the data transmitted. This content is often described as the
semantic content or the meaning of the data. When two systems exchange data, full semantic
interoperability can only be achieved when all of the data exchanged is interpreted in exactly the same
way by both communication partners thereby eliminating misunderstandings
The basic pre-requisites for semantic interoperability are shared names and definitions for data
elements plus commonly agreed to codes. Whilst bilateral semantic agreements between individual
pairs of trading partners may be simpler to arrange, the wider that such commonly defined semantics
can be adopted across trading communities the greater semantic interoperability benefits can be
achieved.
Global semantic standards in the form of internationally maintained libraries such as the ISO 7372
Trade Data Element Directory, UN/CEFACT Core Component Library (ebXML) and the WCO Data
Model are important as they can together provide a trustable and well maintained foundation on which
trading communities can build semantic interoperability platforms.
Message Structural level
This level concerns shared data structures and the relationships between them. When data is
exchanged in the form of electronic messages, it is important that the exchanged data follows a predefined structure so that the receiver can understand the relationships between the pieces of data
received.
Message structures are developed as representations of data models can be: a) bilaterally agreed, b)
community agreed such as GS1 EANCOM messages, or c) globally standardised such as the
UN/EDIFACT (United Nations/Electronic Data Interchange For Administration, Commerce and
Transport) Standard Messages (UNSMs) and UN/CEFACT XML Messages.
Message structures define cardinalities as well as business entity relationships which are linked
together to form a message assembly. They can be thought of as a UML class diagram expressed in a
chosen message syntax.
Syntax level
This level specifies the syntax in which electronic document interchanges (EDI) are conducted and in
which the document structures are defined as described above. The most common EDI syntaxes are
XML or UN/EDIFACT. However, in the case of XML there are several different dialects and the
recommended version for international e-business is the W3C XML Schema Definition Language
commonly referred to as XML schemas.
The syntax level consists of two or three distinct parts: a) the message structure definition, b)
instances of actual data exchanges which comply with the message structure, and c) an optional
message implementation guideline which defines agreed business rules to be applied to the
processing of received instances such as an EDIFACT MIG or an XML Schematron file.
Communication protocol level
This final level defines the handshaking communication protocols which enable two exchange systems
to talk successfully with each other in order to exchange electronic information.

Recommendations

24

The Convention is a legal framework that together with its requisite national implementation - lays
the ground for business process interoperability.
With regards to the semantic level, the syntax and meaning of electronic CITES documents will need
to be carefully described in order to enable cross-border cooperation when using such documents
(permits and applications for permits). In this toolkit, this is achieved by the uniform XSDrepresentations of permits and the concepts involved. Cf. CITES Reference Data Model and CITES
XML Schema.

Recommendation
(R1) Use internationally agreed to and established open standards when
describing and mapping CITES documents for use in e-permitting systems
.

25

3.7 IT-Security & Secure Data Communication

3.7.1 Information security management
The establishment of an information technology (IT) security system requires the creation of an IT
security management system which must designate, co-ordinate and monitor IT security related tasks
(in conformity with ISO 27001).
In addition, continuous and effective IT security processes involve the following recurrent actions:

analysis and documentation of the structure of existing information technology assets

assessment of the security requirements to ascertain the level of protection needed

undertaking of regular security checks to obtain an overview of the existing IT security

environment, i.e., does it meet the specified and required security level

implementation of security measures that are absent or are not adequately implemented

Recommendation
(R2) Establish a management system in conformity with ISO 27001 to
designate, co-ordinate and monitor IT security related tasks.

3.7.2 Protection Aims & Secure Data Communication

Protection aims define the security needs related to communication including :

Confidentiality protection against disclosure to unauthorized parties: No data is made

available or disclosed to unauthorized individuals, entities or processes. Confidentiality is
ensured by encrypting the information.

Integrity protection against manipulation. Unauthorized modification or destruction of data is

not possible. This includes information concerning the origin or time of creation. Integrity is
ensured by the use of electronic signatures.

Authenticity protection against identity fraud: Unauthorized sending of messages is not

possible. Authenticity is ensured by the use of electronic signatures.

Secure Data Communication comes in two different forms: a) the network connection between the
communication nodes is private (e.g. using a virtual private network (VPN)), and b), the partners
communicate encrypted and signed documents via an open network (secure communication via
insecure channels).
With regards to CITES, the latter method may be more suitable. The almost universal membership to
the Convention and the need to use the Internet as the basic communication channel favour the use of
encrypted and digitally signed documents exchanged via the Internet. The security of CITES
processes (application for permits, sending of permits, securing permits against forgery etc.) must be
assured a high priority. The solutions to achieve interoperability must in no way compromise technical
cooperation among Parties.

Recommendation
(R3) Identify and use appropriate technologies when communicating via or
using open/insecure networks (i.e. the Internet) to ensure confidentiality,
integrity and authenticity of the data being exchanged.

26

3.8 Web Services and Web Service Security

3.8.1 Basic information about Web services
Web Service technology is a means to integrate applications by having them communicate via a
network. The application establishing and offering the service is called the server, the one accessing
or using the service the client.
Web services are accessible over the HTTP (Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol) protocol. XML is used as
the message format as defined by the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) standard. Machinereadable description (also accessible via the network) related to the operations of the Web service
consists of the service specified through the Web Services Description Language (WSDL).
Web Services can be and are being used for application integration within an organisation. However,
as a result of its capacity to provide interoperability for applications across platforms and vendor
origins, they can be used across organizations.
By being independent of technology, operation systems or programming languages, the Web service
standards facilitate the interoperability among different systems and platforms
Both SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) and HTTP are valid application layer protocols used as
transport for SOAP. HTTP has gained wide acceptance as it works well with today's Internet
infrastructure, specifically, with network firewalls (SOAP may also be used over HTTPS, which is the
same protocol as HTTP, but uses an encrypted transport protocol underneath).
XML (Extensible Mark-up Language) should serve as the universal and primary standard for
exchanging data between information systems. The data shown to the user can be presented in
Extensible Style sheet Language (XSL), providing much flexibility on the presentation layer.

Recommendation
(R4) Use Web service technology among different systems to exchange
CITES-related data.
(R5) Use Web service communication such as., SOAP via HTTP /
HTTPS),or, where appropriate,. SOAP via SMTP (E-Mail) as an alternative
systems .

3.8.2 Web service technology

Currently, Web service technology is used to access an application by other applications via SOAP to
retrieve data represented as XML documents. In brief, Web service technology offers the best means
to connect applications located in different countries and using different platforms.
For example, a SOAP message could be sent to a Web service enabled website (e.g. a job
opportunity database) with the parameters needed for a search. The site would then return an XMLformatted document with the resulting data (companies, jobs, features, etc). Since the data is returned
in a standardized machine-parseable format, it can then be integrated directly into a third-party site.
When applied to CITES processes, Web service technology may be suitable to

communicate permit (and other) documents (or permit data ) between the Management
Authorities of importing and exporting countries, or to

collect data (applications for permits) produced by a system (Web server or other)
administered by a management authority.

Recommendation
(R6) Use Web services to facilitate exchange of CITES-permit data
between applications (coupling)..
27

3.8.3 Secure Web Services

8

WS-Security is an OASIS standard for secure Web services. It defines upgrades of the SOAP
protocol in order to provide and ensure confidentiality, integrity and the binding effect of SOAP
messages for securing Web services. WS-Security supports the signing and encryption of SOAP
messages based on XML Signature and XML Encryption. The use of different security models and
different cryptographic method must be possible.
WS-Security also enables different "security tokens", i.e. data formats which warrant specific identities
or properties, e.g. X.509 certificates, Kerberos Tickets, SAML tokens or encrypted keys.
The specification of WS-Security consists of the "WS-Security Core Specification 1.1" and certain
profiles that specify how a certain kind of the tokens mentioned can be used in SOAP:

Recommendation
(R7) Use Secure Web Services for data communication made through
open/insecure networks (i.e., the Internet ).

3.8.4 Securing data content

The standards XML Signature and XML Encryption are crucial for the secure exchange of XML
documents.
The joint W3C and IETF standard XML Signature (XML Signature Syntax and Processing, W3C
Recommendation and IETF RFC 3275) describes digital signatures for all kinds of data (usually XML)
by providing an XML schema and a set of processing rules for generating and validating the signature.
The signature can cover one or more documents and/or different kinds of data (pictures, text, etc.).
One central feature of XML Signatures is that it is possible to sign specific parts of an XML document
rather than the entire document. This flexibility makes it possible to secure the integrity of certain
elements of an XML document whilst other parts can be edited. For instance, a user can fill in certain
parts of a signed XML form without violating the integrity of the document. This was not possible with
conventional signatures because the complete document was always signed, so that any change /
addition would have meant a violation of its integrity.
The W3C standard XML Encryption (XML Encryption Syntax and Processing, W3C Recommendation)
provides an XML schema and a set of processing rules which support the encryption / decryption of
entire documents, including XML documents, XML elements and contents of XML elements.
Together with XML Signature, XML Encryption is the foundation for several standards accepted in the
industry for secure XML-based document exchange.

Recommendation
(R8) Use standards based on XML Digital Signature and XML Encryption
when implementing Secure Web services for the exchange of CITESrelated information.

3.8.5 Deployment and implementation of Web services

The Web Service Interoperability Organization (WS-I) offers guidance with regard to implementation of
Web services. It comprises a diverse community of companies and standards development
8

OASIS (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards) is a not-for-profit consortium
that drives the development, convergence and adoption of open standards for the global information society. The
consortium produces more Web services standards than any other organization along with standards for security,
e-business, and standardization efforts in the public sector and for application-specific markets.

28

organizations (SDOs) interested in the development and the application of Web service technology.
WS-I committees and working groups create Profiles, Testing Tools and Sample Applications
9
published on the Internet under an open and public license.

A WS-I Profile is a specification that selects suitable standards from the various Web service
standards that are are compatible with each other.

Sample Applications are Web services applications that are compliant with WS-I guidelines
and exhibit Web services Best Practices. These implementations use multiple platforms,
languages and programming tools, to demonstrate interoperability in action and provide
readily usable resources for Web services developers.

Testing Tools help determine whether a Web service conforms to WS-I guidelines. Tests are
self administered and aim to improve interoperability among applications and across
platforms.

Currently the most important WS-I Profiles are:

The WS-I Basic Profile (BP) establishes core Web services specifications (SOAP, WSDL,
UDDI, XML Schema, HTTPS) that should be used together to develop interoperable Web
services. To date (May 2009), WS-I has produced the Basic Profile 1.0 and 1.1.

The WS-I Basic Security Profile 1.0 is an interoperability Profile that addresses transport
security, SOAP message security and other security considerations, and composes with other
WS-I Profiles. It references existing specifications and standards, including the OASIS Web
Services Security 1.0 and SOAP Message Security 1.0 specifications, and provides
clarification and guidance designed to promote interoperability of Web services created
according to those specifications

Recommendation
(R9) Use WS-I profiles as guidelines to implement Web service
communication and to ensure interoperability of the resulting service.

3.8.6 Example of a technical architecture using Web services

Exchanging CITES relevant data between two CITES Management Authorities can be described from
a business perspective as a single window solution. Technically, the data exchange processes uses
two servers as single points of exchange (SPoX) one on the import side and one for the exporter.

Source: CITES Data Exchange pilot project (Switzerland-UK)

Figure 3

There are some important prerequisites which are necessary to transfer CITES data via Web service
technology:

Firewall protection and 7/24 available server

A server certificate issued by a trusted third party certificate authority

A client certificate for authentication of the client

Secure and common Web service protocol (e.g. SOAP)

Clear definition of the functionality of the Web service

o

Which data should/can be requested for?

Which data should/can be sent as the response?

Choice of the data exchange format (e.g. XML)

How the integrity and validity of the data to be sent can be proofed? (Syntactically and
contextualized checks)

How the security of the data can be ensured? (Encryption, Digital Signature)

30

3.9 Guidelines on document security and digital signatures

Electronic signatures are common, proven and reliable tools to secure contents (e.g. export and
import permits) and interpersonal communications.
This section will describe briefly the technical and organizational requirements that should be taken
into consideration in order to secure e-permits by electronic signatures.

3.9.1 Understanding electronic signatures and digital signatures

"Electronic signature" is a rather broad term referring to any electronic data that carries the intent of a
signature. Not all electronic signatures use digital signatures.
A digital signature is a type of asymmetric cryptography involving application of private and public keys
by sender and receiver (or author and reader) to messages or documents. Digital signatures have the
potential to provide for authenticity and integrity (see Protection Aims & Secure Data Communication).
An asymmetric signature method consists of a signing and a verification algorithm. The signature
method is dependent on the key pair: the private (i.e. secret) key is used for signing (generating) and
the pertinent public key for verifying (checking) the signature.

3.9.2 Application of digital signatures

For messages sent through an insecure channel, a properly implemented digital signature gives the
receiver assurance that the message was sent by the claimed sender (authenticity) and that it was
sent consisting of exactly the content having been received (integrity).
Digital signatures can also provide the property of non-repudiation of a message or a document,
meaning that the signer (sender or author) cannot successfully claim he did not sign a message, while
also claiming his private key remains secret.
Digitally signed messages may be anything representable as a bitstring: examples include electronic
mail, contracts, or a message sent via some other cryptographic protocol.

Recommendation
(R10) Use digital signatures to provide authenticity and integrity when
exchanging CITES-related permit information.
In the context of Web services XML Digital Signature and XML Encryption are recommended as the
suitable technologies to implement digital signatures applied to data and document communication.

3.9.3 Other issues related to digital signatures

Digital signatures are equivalent to traditional handwritten signatures in many respects. Properly
implemented digital signatures are more difficult to forge than the handwritten type. In some countries,
electronic signatures properly applied - have legal significance as a binding declaration of will.
The legally binding nature of electronic communications is a crucial success factor for the
implementation of e-Government. Contrary to a simple or advanced electronic signature, a qualified
electronic signature offers the highest degree of electronic replication of a handwritten signature.
The legal adjustments required to enable the use of electronic signatures and to place these on the
same standing as a hand-written signature depends on the regulations in the respective countries.
In many countries, as a prerequisite for the legal equivalence of electronic signatures with a
handwritten signature, the private key used in the algorithm to create the signature has to be stored on
a smartcard, connected to the signing computer by a card reader machine equipped with a key pad of
31

its own.
Smartcards are chip cards with an integrated processor; they are also referred to as microprocessor
cards. In contrast to chip cards which are used to only save data (memory cards), smartcards can also
process data. Smartcards can serve as a Personal Security Environment (PSE), in order to safely
store trustworthy certificates and keys, and also as a (secure) signature generation unit.

3.9.4 Algorithms and Security

The security of an electronic signature is primarily dependent upon the strength of the underlying
cryptographic algorithms.
SHA-256 (Secure Hash Algorithm), as a further development of SHA-1 (160-bit long hash value), is a
cryptographic hash function that generates a 256-bit long hash value.
SHA-224, SHA-384 und SHA-512 (Secure Hash Algorithm) are further developments of SHA-1 (160bit long hash value) and constitute cryptographic hash functions that generate longer hash values (the
length corresponds to the number stated).
10

Furthermore, RSA , should be used as the asymmetric signature method.

The level of security the mentioned algorithms provide for is dependent on a given technological
context. For any given period an IT service is operated in there will have to be an assessment about
the adequacy of the chosen Algorithm relative to security requirements.
In conclusion, applications exchanging data related to CITES permits should use digital signatures to
protect against identity fraud and data manipulation.

Recommendation
(R11) Use RSA as the asymmetric signature method and choose an
appropriate algorithm based on recommendations of experts responsible
for IT security .

10

RSA algorithm was publicly described in 1978 by Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman at
MIT; the letters RSA are the initials of their surnames.
