ITU-T

From CryptoDox, The Online Encyclopedia on Cryptography and Information Security

The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) coordinates standards for telecommunications on behalf of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and is based in Geneva, Switzerland.

ITU-T was created on 1 March 1993, replacing the former International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee (CCITT) whose origins go back to 1865. The public and the private sectors cooperate within ITU-T for the development of standards that benefit telecommunication users worldwide.
