RFC 9393: Concise Software Identification Tags
Proposed Standard- H. Birkholz
- J. Fitzgerald-McKay
- C. Schmidt
- D. Waltermire
- June 2023
- IETF publication
- Security Area
Abstract
ISO/IEC 19770-2:2015 Software Identification (SWID) tags provide an extensible XML-based structure to identify and describe individual software components, patches, and installation bundles. SWID tag representations can be too large for devices with network and storage constraints. This document defines a concise representation of SWID tags: Concise SWID (CoSWID) tags. CoSWID supports a set of semantics and features that are similar to those for SWID tags, as well as new semantics that allow CoSWIDs to describe additional types of information, all in a more memory-efficient format.

RFC 8412: Software Inventory Message and Attributes (SWIMA) for PA-TNC
Proposed Standard- C. Schmidt
- D. Haynes
- C. Coffin

- J. Fitzgerald-McKay
- July 2018
- IETF publication
- Security Area
Abstract
This document extends "PA-TNC: A Posture Attribute (PA) Protocol Compatible with Trusted Network Connect (TNC)" (RFC 5792) by providing specific attributes and message exchanges to allow endpoints to report their installed software inventory information to a NEA Server, as defined in "Network Endpoint Assessment (NEA): Overview and Requirements" (RFC 5209).

RFC 8322: Resource-Oriented Lightweight Information Exchange (ROLIE)
Proposed Standard- J. Field
- S. Banghart
- D. Waltermire
- February 2018
- IETF publication
- Security Area
Abstract
This document defines a resource-oriented approach for security automation information publication, discovery, and sharing. Using this approach, producers may publish, share, and exchange representations of software descriptors, security incidents, attack indicators, software vulnerabilities, configuration checklists, and other security automation information as web-addressable resources. Furthermore, consumers and other stakeholders may access and search this security information as needed, establishing a rapid and on-demand information exchange network for restricted internal use or public access repositories. This specification extends the Atom Publishing Protocol and Atom Syndication Format to transport and share security automation resource representations.

RFC 8248: Security Automation and Continuous Monitoring (SACM) Requirements
Informational- N. Cam-Winget
- L. Lorenzin
- September 2017
- IETF publication
- Security Area
Abstract
This document defines the scope and set of requirements for the Security Automation and Continuous Monitoring (SACM) architecture, data model, and transfer protocols. The requirements and scope are based on the agreed-upon use cases described in RFC 7632.

RFC 7632: Endpoint Security Posture Assessment: Enterprise Use Cases
Informational- D. Waltermire
- D. Harrington
- September 2015
- IETF publication
- Security Area
Abstract
This memo documents a sampling of use cases for securely aggregating configuration and operational data and evaluating that data to determine an organization's security posture. From these operational use cases, we can derive common functional capabilities and requirements to guide development of vendor-neutral, interoperable standards for aggregating and evaluating data relevant to security posture.
