Framing of ITSAR involves Study of chosen Telecom network element and security testing
for sample telecom network elements in areas like Security functional requirements,
Software code assurance, Cryptographic related tests by people with specific domain

Crypto algorithm implementation validation and Crypto Module validation, Supply chain
vulnerabilities, Run time vulnerabilities in a live network (Advanced Persistent Threats), Back
door entry vulnerabilities, Identification of Intentional/ Hidden Malware in Software/
Firmware of equipment. Since nature of work is highly technical, the manpower deployed
should possess hands-on experience and have requisite domain knowledge.
In order to study/ formulate/ operationalize/ assessment of various works/ projects/
policies etc. Though domain experts are being engaged for majority works with 10 to 15
years of experience for advisory role and to impart the knowledge of new technologies being
introduced in the networks to expedite creation of ITSARs, NCCS proposes to create an
opportunity to young personnel to acquire this knowledge along with regular staff of NCCS
as part of Capacity Building for security testing meeting the National objective. To attract
young talent from the fields of ICT, internship programme is proposed by NCCS.
This Internship Programme will allow young talent to be associated with the NCCS work
for mutual benefit. It will enable NCCS to interact with young scholars and to get fresh ideas
and study/ research support from the field of academics. At the same time, it will provide an
opportunity to young scholars to contribute in the NCCS work and have an insight into the
related technical work. The eligibility condition applicable and other details are proposed in
