Protocolo de señales de tráfico

Acrónimos: TLP

Protocolo de señales de tráfico

Protocolo creado para promover la compartición de información clasificada. Permite que el originatario de una información le indique al receptor las condiciones en que le llega la información a efectos de su posible compartición con terceros.

Se definen 4 colores, pensando en las luces de un semáforo:

·         ROJO - sólo puede llegar a manos de personas identificadas nominalmente

Normalmente esta información se transfiere personalmente al receptor.

·         NARANJA - distribución limitada

El receptor puede conpartir la información recibida con otros miembros de su organización, aunque siempre respetando el principio de 'necesidad de conocer'. El receptor puede verse requerido para especificar a quién se lo hace llegar.

·         VERDE - restringido a la comunidad

La información puede circular libremente dentro de una cierta comunidad. Eso no implica que sea información pública, ni que pueda ser proporcionada a terceras partes fuera de la comunidad identificada.

·         BLANCO - sin límites

La información se puede transmitor sin más restricciones que las derivadas de las condicones de derechos de autor (copyright).

(en) Traffic light protocol

The Traffic Light Protocol (TLP) was created in order to encourage greater sharing of information. In order to encourage the sharing of sensitive information, however, the originator needs to signal how widely they want their information to be circulated beyond the immediate recipient, if at all.

The TLP provides a simple method to achieve this. It is designed to improve the flow of information between individuals, organisations or communities in a controlled and trusted way. It is important that everyone understands and obeys the rules of the protocol. Only then can trust be established and the benefits of information sharing realised. The TLP is based on the concept of the originator labeling information with one of four colours to indicate what further dissemination, if any, can be undertaken by the recipient. The recipient must consult the originator if wider dissemination is required.

There are four colours (or traffic lights):

·         RED - personal for named recipients only

In the context of a meeting, for example, RED information is limited to those present at the meeting. In most circumstances, RED information will be passed verbally or in person.

·         AMBER - limited distribution

The recipient may share AMBER information with others within their organisation, but only on a 'need-to-know' basis. The originator may be expected to specify the intended limits of that sharing.

·         GREEN - community wide

Information in this category can be circulated widely within a particular community. However, the information may not be published or posted publicly on the Internet, nor released outside of the community.

·         WHITE – unlimited

Subject to standard copyright rules, WHITE information may be distributed freely, without restriction.
