The Incident Object Description Exchange Format (IODEF) is an XML data
representation framework for sharing information about computer security
incidents. In IODEF, the Reference class provides references to externally
specified information such as a vulnerability, Intrusion Detection System
(IDS) alert, malware sample, advisory, or attack technique. In practice,
these references are based on external enumeration specifications that
define both the enumeration format and the specific enumeration values,
but the IODEF Reference class (as specified in IODEF v1 in RFC 5070) does
not indicate how to include both of these important pieces of information.
This document establishes a stand-alone data format to include both the
external specification and specific enumeration identification value, and
establishes an IANA registry to manage external enumeration specifications.
While this document does not update IODEF v1, this enumeration reference
format is used in IODEF v2 and is applicable to other formats that support
this class of enumeration references.
This document is a product of the Managed Incident Lightweight Exchange Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
