The IESG has received a request from the Security Automation and Continuous Monitoring WG (sacm) to consider the following document: - 'Software Inventory Message and Attributes (SWIMA) for PA-TNC' <draft-ietf-sacm-nea-swima-patnc-01.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2018-02-21. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document extends the PA-TNC specification [RFC5792] by providing specific attributes and message exchanges to allow endpoints to report their installed software inventory information to a NEA server (as described in [RFC5209]). The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-sacm-nea-swima-patnc/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-sacm-nea-swima-patnc/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. The document contains these normative downward references. See RFC 3967 for additional information: rfc5209: Network Endpoint Assessment (NEA): Overview and Requirements (Informational - IETF stream)
