UIC 914:2006-08

The purpose of UIC Leaflet 914 is to identify security recommendations for on-line and off-line sales processes considering the complete chain from stock control to accounting. The Leaflet specifically addresses the sales of international tickets/passes (transport by at least two different carriers) or of foreign tickets/passes (transport by a single carrier, different from the issuer). The Leaflet does not address domestic tickets (transport by a single carrier, which is also an issuer). This leaflet will not address security requirements for Revenue Sharing, as that subject is treated in UIC Leaflet 301. For a comprehensive framework, the leaflet lists the current and expected primary sales types, and analyses of the single component processes, focusing on the technical security aspects. Security problems already defined in other UIC documents, e. g. those concerning the security elements for blank coupons, will only be referred to in the document. Further sales types may be added in the subsequent versions of this leaflet, as soon as technological development or commercial innovation make them realistic.
