Introduction Organizations require help from other parties to mitigate malicious activity targeting their network and to gain insight into potential threats. This coordination might entail working with an ISP to filter attack traffic, contacting a remote site to take down a botnet, or sharing watch lists of known malicious indicators in a consortium. The Incident Object Description Exchange Format (IODEF) is a format for representing computer security information commonly exchanged between Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs) or other operational security teams. It provides an XML representation for conveying: o indicators to characterize a threat; o security incident reports to document attacks against an organization; Danyliw Standards Track [Page 5]
RFC 7970 IODEF Version 2 November 2016 o response activity taken or that could be taken in response to an incident; and o metadata so that these various classes of information can be exchanged among parties. The purpose of the IODEF is to enhance the operational capabilities of CSIRTs. Adoption of the IODEF will improve the ability of a CSIRT to resolve security incidents; understand threats; and coordinate response activities and proactive mitigations by simplifying collaboration and data sharing with its partners. This structured format provided by the IODEF allows for: o machine-to-machine exchange of incident and indicator data; o automated processing of this data whereby allowing more rapid execution of appropriate courses of action; and o the development of an ecosystem of interoperable tools enabling security operations. Sharing and coordinating with other organizations is not strictly a technical problem. There are numerous procedural, cultural, legal, and trust-related barriers to overcome. The IODEF does not attempt to address them directly. However, operational implementations of the IODEF will need to consider these challenges. Section 1 provides the background for the IODEF. Sections 3 and 8 specify the IODEF information and data model, respectively. The data types used in this document are described in Section 2. Processing considerations, extending the specification, internationalization, and security issues are covered in Sections 4, 5, 6, and 9, respectively. Examples are listed in Section 7. 1.1. Terminology The key words "MUST," "MUST NOT," "REQUIRED," "SHALL," "SHALL NOT," "SHOULD," "SHOULD NOT," "RECOMMENDED," "MAY," and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119]. 1.2. Notations The IODEF is specified as an Extensible Markup Language (XML) [W3C.XML] schema [W3C.SCHEMA]. The normative IODEF data model is found in the XML schema in Section 8. To aid in the understanding of the data elements, Section 3 also depicts the underlying information model using Unified Modeling Language (UML). This abstract presentation of the IODEF is not normative. Danyliw Standards Track [Page 6]
RFC 7970 IODEF Version 2 November 2016 For clarity in this document, the term "XML document" will be used when referring generically to any instance of an XML document. The term "IODEF document" will be used to refer to an XML document conforming to the IODEF specification. The terms "schema" will be used to refer to Section 8 of this document. The terms "data model" and "schema" will be used interchangeably. The terms "class" and "element" will be used to reference either the corresponding data element in the UML-based information or XML schema-based data models, respectively. 1.3. About the IODEF Data Model A number of considerations were made in the design of the IODEF data model. o The data model found in this document is an evolution of the one previously specified in [RFC5070]. New fields were added to represent additional information. [RFC5070] was developed primarily to represent incident reports. This document builds upon it by adding support for indicators and revising it to reflect the current challenges faced by CSIRTs. An attempt was made to preserve backward compatibility, but this was not possible in all cases. See Section 4.4. This document obsoletes [RFC5070]. o The IODEF is a transport format. Therefore, the data model may not be the optimal archival or in-memory processing format. o The IODEF is intended to be a framework to convey only commonly exchanged information. It ensures that there are mechanisms for extensibility to support organization-specific information and techniques to reference information kept outside of the data model. o Not all commonly exchanged information has a well-defined format or taxonomy. The IODEF attempts to strike a balance between enforcing sufficient structure to allow automated processing and supporting free-form content that enables maximum flexibility. o The IODEF fits into a broader ecosystem of standards and conventions. An attempt was made to harmonize the data model with this context. 1.4. Changes from RFC 5070 A detailed list of additions made to the data model in [RFC5070] are enumerated in this section. See Section 4.4 for a list of incompatible changes. Danyliw Standards Track [Page 7]
RFC 7970 IODEF Version 2 November 2016 o Updated the data types (Section 2) to improve internationalization, clarify ambiguity, and ensure consistency in extensions. o Added the observable-id attribute (Section 3.3.2) and IndicatorData class (Section 3.28) to represent indicators. o Added the private-enum-name and private-enum-id attributes to the IODEF-Document class (Section 3.1) to disambiguate private extensions. o Updated the Incident class (Section 3.2) to represent additional timing and workflow information. o Added the ThreatActor (Section 3.7) and Campaign (Section 3.8) classes to represent attack attribution information. o Updated the Contact class (Section 3.9) and its children to improve internationalization and represent additional information about an entity. o Updated the Method class (Section 3.11) to improve extensibility through externally referenced resources. o Added the Discovery class (Section 3.10) to describe how an incident was discovered. o Updated the Assessment class (Section 3.12) to enable more descriptive characterizations of the impact of an incident. o Updated the HistoryItem (Section 3.13.1) and Expectation (Section 3.15) classes to support a reference to a course of action. o Updated the EventData class (Section 3.14) with additional metadata added to the Incident class. o Updated the System class (Section 3.17) with additional metadata. o Updated the Counter class (Section 3.18.3) to support additional rate metrics. o Added DomainData (Section 3.19), EmailData (Section 3.21), WindowsRegistryKeysModified (Section 3.23), CertificateData (Section 3.24), and FileData (Section 3.25) classes to improve the description of an incident and support this data as indicators. Danyliw Standards Track [Page 8]
RFC 7970 IODEF Version 2 November 2016 o Added the SignatureData (Section 3.27) and HashData (Section 3.26) classes to represent digital signatures and hashes. o Added support for public enumerated attribute extensions using IANA registries (Section 5.1.2). o Updated numerous enumerated attributes for completeness. 2. IODEF Data Types The IODEF uses a number of simple and complex types. This section describes these data types. 2.1. Integers An integer is represented in the information model by the INTEGER data type. Integer data MUST be encoded in Base 10. The INTEGER data type is implemented in the data model as an "xs:integer" type per Section 3.3.13 of [W3C.SCHEMA.DTYPES]. 2.2. Real Numbers A real (floating-point) number is represented in the information model by the REAL data type. Real data MUST be encoded in Base 10. The REAL data type is implemented in the data model as an "xs:float" type per Section 3.2.4 of [W3C.SCHEMA.DTYPES]. 2.3. Characters and Strings A single character is represented in the information model by the CHARACTER data type. A string is represented by the STRING data type. Special characters MUST be encoded using entity references. See Section 4.1. The CHARACTER and STRING data types are implemented in the data model as an "xs:string" type per Section 3.2.1 of [W3C.SCHEMA.DTYPES]. 2.4. Multilingual Strings A string that needs to be represented in a human-readable language different than the default encoding of the document is represented in the information model by the ML_STRING data type. The ML_STRING data type is implemented in the data model as the "iodef:MLStringType" type. This type extends the "xs:string" to include two attributes. Danyliw Standards Track [Page 9]
RFC 7970 IODEF Version 2 November 2016 +------------------------+ | iodef:MLStringType | +------------------------+ | xs:string | | | | ENUM xml:lang | | STRING translation-id | +------------------------+ Figure 1: The iodef:MLStringType Type The content of the class is a character string of type "xs:string" whose language MAY be specified by the xml:lang attribute. The attributes of the iodef:MLStringType type are: xml:lang Optional. ENUM. A language identifier per Section 2.12 of [W3C.XML] whose values and format are described in [RFC5646]. The interpretation of this code is described in Section 6. translation-id Optional. STRING. An identifier to relate other instances of this class with the same parent as translations of this text. The scope of this identifier is limited to all of the direct, peer child classes of a given parent class. Using this class enables representing translations of the same text in multiple languages. Each translation is a distinct instance of this class with a common parent. A group of classes each with a translated instance of text is related by setting a common identifier in the translation-id attribute. The language of a given class is set by the xml:lang attribute. See Section 6 for more details on representing translations of free-form text. 2.5. Binary Strings Binary octets can be represented with two encodings. 2.5.1. Base64 Bytes A binary octet encoded with base64 is represented in the information model by the BYTE data type. A sequence of these octets is of the BYTE[] data type. The BYTE and BYTE[] data types are implemented in the data model as an "xs:base64Binary" type per Section 3.2.16 of [W3C.SCHEMA.DTYPES]. Danyliw Standards Track [Page 10]
RFC 7970 IODEF Version 2 November 2016 2.5.2. Hexadecimal Bytes A binary octet encoded as a character tuple consistent of two hexadecimal digits is represented in the information model by the HEXBIN data type. A sequence of these octets is of the HEXBIN[] data type. The HEXBIN and HEXBIN[] data types are implemented in the data model as an "xs:hexBinary" type per Section 3.2.15 of [W3C.SCHEMA.DTYPES]. 2.6. Enumerated Types An enumerated type is represented in the information model by the ENUM data type. It is an ordered list of acceptable string values. Each value has a representative keyword. Within the data model, the enumerated type keywords are used as attribute values. The ENUM data type is implemented in the data model as values of an "xs:NMTOKEN" type per Section 3.3.4 of [W3C.SCHEMA.DTYPES]. 2.7. Date-Time String A date-time string that describes a particular instant in time is represented in the information model by the DATETIME data type. Ranges are not supported. The DATETIME data type is implemented in the data model as an "xs:dateTime" type per Section 3.2.7 of [W3C.SCHEMA.DTYPES]. 2.8. Timezone String A timezone offset from UTC is represented in the information model by the TIMEZONE data type. It is formatted according to the following regular expression: "Z|[\+\-](0[0-9]|1[0-4]):[0-5][0-9]". The TIMEZONE data type is implemented in the data model as an "iodef:TimezoneType" type. 2.9. Port Lists A list of network ports is represented in the information model by the PORTLIST data type. A PORTLIST consists of a comma-separated list of numbers and ranges (N-M means ports N through M, inclusive). It is formatted according to the following regular expression: "\d+(\-\d+)?(,\d+(\-\d+)?)*". For example, "2,5-15,30,32,40-50,55-60". Danyliw Standards Track [Page 11]
RFC 7970 IODEF Version 2 November 2016 The PORTLIST data type is implemented in the data model as an "iodef:PortlistType" type. 2.10. Postal Address A postal address is represented in the information model by the POSTAL data type. The format of the POSTAL data type is documented in Section 2.23 of [RFC4519] as a free-form multi-line string separated by the "$" character. The POSTAL data type is implemented in the data model as an "iodef:MLStringType" type. 2.11. Telephone Number A telephone number is represented in the information model by the PHONE data type. The format of the PHONE data type is documented in [E.164]. The PHONE data type is implemented in the data model as an "xs:string" type per Section 3.2.1 of [W3C.SCHEMA.DTYPES]. 2.12. Email String An email address is represented in the information model by the EMAIL data type. The format of the EMAIL data type is documented in Section 3.4.1 of [RFC5322] and Section 3.3 of [RFC6531]. The EMAIL data type is implemented in the data model as an "xs:string" type per Section 3.2.1 of [W3C.SCHEMA.DTYPES]. 2.13. Uniform Resource Locator Strings A uniform resource locator (URL) is represented in the information model by the URL data type. The format of the URL data type is documented in [RFC3986]. The URL data type is implemented as an "xs:anyURI" type per Section 3.2.17 of [W3C.SCHEMA.DTYPES]. 2.14. Identifiers and Identifier References An identifier unique to the IODEF document is represented in the information model by the ID data type. A reference to this identifier is represented by the IDREF data type. Danyliw Standards Track [Page 12]
RFC 7970 IODEF Version 2 November 2016 The ID and IDREF data types are implemented in the model as "xs:ID" and "xs:IDREF" types per Sections 3.3.8 and 3.3.9 of [W3C.SCHEMA.DTYPES]. 2.15. Software A particular version of software is represented in the information model by the SOFTWARE data type. This software can be described by using a reference, a URL, or with free-form text. The SOFTWARE data type is implemented in the data model as the "iodef:SoftwareType" type. +--------------------+ | iodef:SoftwareType | +--------------------+ | |<>--{0..1}--[ SoftwareReference ] | |<>--{0..*}--[ URL ] | |<>--{0..*}--[ Description ] +--------------------+ Figure 2: The SoftwareType Type The aggregate classes of the SoftwareType type are: SoftwareReference Zero or one.

RFC 7970 IODEF Version 2 November 2016 AdditionalData Zero or more. EXTENSION. Mechanism by which to extend the data model. The attributes of the Incident class are: purpose Required. ENUM. The purpose attribute describes the rationale for documenting the information in this class. It is closely related to the Expectation class (Section 3.15). These values are maintained in the "Incident-purpose" IANA registry per Section 10.2. This attribute is defined as an enumerated list: 1. traceback. The incident was sent for trace-back purposes. 2. mitigation. The incident was sent to request aid in mitigating the described activity. 3. reporting. The incident was sent to comply with reporting requirements. 4. watch. The incident was sent to convey indicators that should be monitored. 5. other.

A means by which to extend the status attribute. See Section 5.1.1. xml:lang Optional. ENUM. A language identifier per Section 2.12 of [W3C.XML] whose values and form are described in [RFC5646]. The interpretation of this code is described in Section 6. restriction Optional. ENUM. See Section 3.3.1. The default value is "private". ext-restriction Optional. STRING. A means by which to extend the restriction attribute. See Section 5.1.1. observable-id Optional. ID. See Section 3.3.2. 3.3. Common Attributes There are a number of recurring attributes used in the information model. They are documented in this section. 3.3.1. restriction Attribute The restriction attribute indicates the disclosure guidelines to which the sender expects the recipient to adhere for the information represented in this class and its children. This guideline provides no security since there are no technical means to ensure that the recipient of the document handles the information as the sender requested. The value of this attribute is logically inherited by the children of this class. That is to say, the disclosure rules applied to this class also apply to its children. Danyliw Standards Track [Page 23]
RFC 7970 IODEF Version 2 November 2016 It is possible to set a granular disclosure policy, since all of the high-level classes (i.e., children of the Incident class) have a restriction attribute. Therefore, a child can override the guidelines of a parent class, be it to restrict or relax the disclosure rules (e.g., a child has a weaker policy than an ancestor; or an ancestor has a weak policy, and the children selectively apply more rigid controls). The implicit value of the restriction attribute for a class that did not specify one can be found in the closest ancestor that did specify a value. This attribute is defined as an enumerated value with a default value of "private". Note that the default value of the restriction attribute is only defined in the context of the Incident class. In other classes where this attribute is used, no default is specified. These values are maintained in the "Restriction" IANA registry per Section 10.2. 1. public. The information can be freely distributed without restriction. 2. partner. The information may be shared within a closed community of peers, partners, or affected parties, but cannot be openly published. 3. need-to-know. The information may be shared only within the organization with individuals that have a need to know. 4. private. The information may not be shared. 5. default. The information can be shared according to an information disclosure policy pre-arranged by the communicating parties. 6. white. Same as 'public'. 7. green. Same as 'partner'. 8. amber. Same as 'need-to-know'. 9. red. Same as 'private'. 10. ext-value. A value used to indicate that this attribute is extended and the actual value is provided using the corresponding ext-* attribute. See Section 5.1.1. Danyliw Standards Track [Page 24]
RFC 7970 IODEF Version 2 November 2016 3.3.2. observable-id Attribute The observable-id attribute tags information in the document as an observable so that it can be referenced later in the description of an indicator. The value of this attribute is a unique identifier in the scope of the document. It is used by the ObservableReference class to enumerate observables when defining an indicator with the IndicatorData class. 3.4. IncidentID Class The IncidentID class represents a tracking number that is unique in the context of the CSIRT. It serves as an identifier for an incident or a document identifier when sharing indicators. This identifier would serve as an index into a CSIRT's incident handling or knowledge management system. The combination of the name attribute and the string in the element content MUST be a globally unique identifier describing the activity. Documents generated by a given CSIRT MUST NOT reuse the same value unless they are referencing the same incident. +------------------------+ | IncidentID | +------------------------+ | STRING | | | | STRING name | | STRING instance | | ENUM restriction | | STRING ext-restriction | +------------------------+ Figure 7: The IncidentID Class The content of the class is an incident identifier of type STRING. The attributes of the IncidentID class are: name Required. STRING. An identifier describing the CSIRT that created the document. In order to have a globally unique CSIRT name, the fully qualified domain name associated with the CSIRT MUST be used. Danyliw Standards Track [Page 25]

STRING. A means by which to extend the restriction attribute. See Section 5.1.1. 3.5. AlternativeID Class The AlternativeID class lists the tracking numbers used by CSIRTs, other than the one generating the document, to refer to the identical activity described in the IODEF document. A tracking number listed as an AlternativeID references the same incident detected by another CSIRT. The tracking numbers of the CSIRT that generated the IODEF document must never be considered an AlternativeID. +------------------------+ | AlternativeID | +------------------------+ | ENUM restriction |<>--{1..*}--[ IncidentID ] | STRING ext-restriction | +------------------------+ Figure 8: The AlternativeID Class The aggregate class of the AlternativeID class is: IncidentID One or more. The tracking number of another CSIRT. See Section 3.4. The attributes of the AlternativeID class are: restriction Optional. ENUM. See Section 3.3.1. ext-restriction Optional. STRING. A means by which to extend the restriction attribute. See Section 5.1.1. Danyliw Standards Track [Page 26]

A means by which to extend the restriction attribute. See Section 5.1.1. 3.9. Contact Class The Contact class describes contact information for organizations and personnel involved in the incident. This class allows for the naming of the involved party, specifying contact information for them, and identifying their role in the incident. People and organizations are treated interchangeably as contacts; one can be associated with the other using the recursive definition of the class (the Contact class is aggregated into the Contact class). The type attribute disambiguates the type of contact information being provided. The recursive definition of Contact provides a way to relate information without requiring the explicit use of identifiers or duplication of data. A complete point of contact is derived by a particular traversal from the root Contact class to the leaf Contact class. Each child Contact class logically inherits contact information from its ancestors. +------------------------+ | Contact | +------------------------+ | ENUM role |<>--{0..*}--[ ContactName ] | STRING ext-role |<>--{0..*}--[ ContactTitle ] | ENUM type |<>--{0..*}--[ Description ] | STRING ext-type |<>--{0..*}--[ RegistryHandle ] | ENUM restriction |<>--{0..*}--[ PostalAddress ] | STRING ext-restriction |<>--{0..*}--[ Email ] | |<>--{0..*}--[ Telephone ] | |<>--{0..1}--[ Timezone ] | |<>--{0..*}--[ Contact ] | |<>--{0..*}--[ AdditionalData ] +------------------------+ Figure 12: The Contact Class Danyliw Standards Track [Page 30]

RFC 7970 IODEF Version 2 November 2016 observable-id Optional. ID. See Section 3.3.2. 3.14.1. Relating the Incident and EventData Classes There is substantial overlap in the child classes aggregated in the Incident and EventData classes. Nevertheless, the semantics of these classes are quite different. The Incident class provides summary information about the entire incident, while the EventData class provides information about the individual events comprising the incident. In the common case, the EventData class will provide more specific information for the general description provided in the Incident class. However, in the case where the summarized information in the Incident class conflicts with the detailed information in an EventData class, the more specific EventData class MUST supersede the more generic information provided in the Incident class. 3.14.2. Recursive Definition of EventData The EventData class is a container for the properties of an event in an incident. These properties include: the hosts involved, impact of the incident activity on the hosts, forensic logs, etc. The recursive definition of EventData allows for the grouping of related information with common properties. This approach eliminates the need for explicit identifiers to relate information or duplicate it. Instead, the relative depth (nesting) of a class is used to group (relate) information. For example, consider a case where two hosts experience different impacts during an incident. However, these two hosts have common contact information. A depiction of how this situation would be represented can be found in Figure 30. EventData (2) and (3) group each of the two hosts with their unique impact. EventData (1) describes the common Contact class these two hosts share. Danyliw Standards Track [Page 59]

See Section 5.1.1. 3.29.5. Expressions with IndicatorExpression Boolean algebraic expressions can be used to specify relationships between observables and indicators. These expressions are constructed through the use of the operator attribute and parent- child relationships in IndicatorExpressions. These expressions should be parsed as follows: 1. The operator specified by the operator attribute is applied between each of the child elements of the immediate parent IndicatorExpression element. If no operator attribute is specified, it should be assumed to be the conjunction operator (i.e., operator="and"). 2. A nested IndicatorExpression element with a parent IndicatorExpression is the equivalent of a parentheses in the expression. The following examples in Figures 66 through 70 illustrate these parsing rules: 1 : <IndicatorExpression> 2 [O1]: <Observable>..</Observable> 3 [O2]: <Observable>..</Observable> 4 : </IndicatorExpression> Equivalent expression: (O1 AND O2) Figure 66: Nested Elements in an IndicatorExpression without an Operator Attribute Specified 1 : <IndicatorExpression operator="or"> 2 [O1]: <Observable>..</Observable> 3 [O2]: <Observable>..</Observable> 4 : </IndicatorExpression> Equivalent expression: (O1 OR O2) Figure 67: Nested Elements in an IndicatorExpression with an Operator Attribute Specified Danyliw Standards Track [Page 108]

RFC 7970 IODEF Version 2 November 2016 4. Processing Considerations This section provides additional requirements and guidance on creating and processing IODEF documents. 4.1. Encoding Every IODEF document MUST begin with an XML declaration and MUST specify the XML version used. The character encoding MUST also be explicitly specified. UTF-8 [RFC3629] SHOULD be used unless UTF-16 [RFC2781] is necessary. Encodings other than UTF-8 and UTF-16 SHOULD NOT be used. The IODEF conforms to all XML data-encoding conventions and constraints. The XML declaration with UTF-8 character encoding will read as follows: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> Certain characters have special meaning in XML and MUST not appear in literal form. Per Section 2.4 of [W3C.XML], these characters MUST be escaped with a numeric character or entity reference. 4.2. IODEF Namespace The IODEF schema declares a namespace of "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:iodef-2.0" and registers it per [W3C.XMLNS]. Each IODEF document MUST include a valid reference to the IODEF schema using the "xsi:schemaLocation" attribute. An example of such a declaration would look as follows: <IODEF-Document version="2.00" lang="en-US" xmlns:iodef="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:iodef-2.0" xsi:schemaLocation="urn:ietf:params:xmls:schema:iodef-2.0" ...> 4.3. Validation IODEF documents MUST be well-formed XML. It is RECOMMENDED that recipients validate the document against the schema described in Section 8. However, mere conformance to this schema is not sufficient for a semantically valid IODEF document. The text of Section 3 describes further formatting and constraints, including some that cannot be conveniently encoded in the schema. These MUST also be considered by an IODEF implementation. Furthermore, the enumerated values present in this document are a static list that will be incomplete over time as select attributes can be extended by a corresponding IANA registry per Section 10.2. Therefore, IODEF Danyliw Standards Track [Page 112]
RFC 7970 IODEF Version 2 November 2016 implementations SHOULD periodically update their schema and MAY need to update their parsing algorithms to incorporate newly registered values. 4.4. Incompatibilities with v1 The IODEF data model in this document makes a number of changes to [RFC5070]. These changes were largely additive -- classes and enumerated values were added. However, some incompatibilities between [RFC5070] and this new specification were introduced. These incompatibilities are as follows: o The IODEF-Document@version attribute is set to "2.0". o Attributes with enumerated values can now also be extended with IANA registries. o All iodef:MLStringType classes use xml:lang. IODEF-Document also uses xml:lang. o The Service@ip_protocol attribute was renamed to @ip-protocol. o The Node/NodeName class was removed in favor of representing domain names with Node/DomainData/Name class. The Node/DataTime class was also removed, so that the Node/DomainData/ DateDomainWasChecked class can represent the time at which the name-to-address resolution occurred. o The Node/NodeRole class was moved to System/NodeRole. o The Reference class is now defined by [RFC7495]. o The data previously represented in the Impact class is now in the SystemImpact and IncidentCategory classes. The Impact class has been removed. o The semantics of Counter@type are now represented in Counter@unit. o The IODEF-Document@formatid attribute has been renamed to @format- id. o The Incident/ReportTime class is no longer required. However, the GenerationTime class is required. o The Fax class was removed and is now represented by a generic Telephone class. Danyliw Standards Track [Page 113]
RFC 7970 IODEF Version 2 November 2016 o The Telephone, Email, and PostalAddress classes were redefined from improved internationalization. o The "ipv6-net-mask" value was removed from the category attribute of Address. 5. Extending the IODEF In order to support the dynamic nature of security operations, the IODEF data model will need to continue to evolve. This section discusses how new data elements can be incorporated into the IODEF. There is support to add additional enumerated values and new classes. Adding additional attributes to existing classes is not supported. These extension mechanisms are designed so that adding new data elements is possible without requiring modifications to this document. Extensions can be implemented publicly or privately. With proven value, well-documented extensions can be incorporated into future versions of the specification. 5.1. Extending the Enumerated Values of Attributes Additional enumerated values can be added to select attributes either through the use of specially marked attributes with the "ext-" prefix or through a set of corresponding IANA registries. The former approach allows for the extension to remain private. The latter approach is public. 5.1.1. Private Extension of Enumerated Values The data model supports adding new enumerated values to an attribute without public registration. For each attribute that supports this extension technique, there is a corresponding attribute in the same element whose name is identical but with a prefix of "ext-". This special attribute is referred to as the extension attribute. The attribute being extended is referred to as an extensible attribute. For example, an extensible attribute named "foo" will have a corresponding extension attribute named "ext-foo". An element may have many extensible attributes. In addition to a corresponding extension attribute, each extensible attribute has "ext-value" as one its possible enumerated values. Selection of this particular value in an extensible attribute signals that the extension attribute contains data. Otherwise, this "ext-value" value has no meaning. Danyliw Standards Track [Page 114]
RFC 7970 IODEF Version 2 November 2016 In order to add a new enumerated value to an extensible attribute, the value of this attribute MUST be set to "ext-value", and the new desired value MUST be set in the corresponding extension attribute. For example, extending the type attribute of the SystemImpact class would look as follows: <SystemImpact type="ext-value" ext-type="new-attack-type"> A given extension attribute MUST NOT be set unless the corresponding extensible attribute has been set to "ext-value". 5.1.2. Public Extension of Enumerated Values The data model also supports publicly extending select enumerated attributes. A new entry can be added by registering a new entry in the appropriate IANA registry. Section 10.2 provides a mapping between the extensible attributes and their corresponding registry. Section 4.3 discusses the XML validation implications of this type of extension. All extensible attributes that support private extensions also support public extensions. 5.2. Extending Classes Classes of the EXTENSION (iodef:ExtensionType) type can extend the data model. They provide the ability to have new atomic or XML- encoded data elements in all of the top-level classes of the Incident class and in a few of the complex subordinate classes. As there are multiple instances of the extensible classes in the data model, there is discretion on where to add a new data element. It is RECOMMENDED that the extension be placed in the most closely related class to the new information. Extensions using the atomic data types (i.e., all values of the dtype attributes other than "xml") MUST: 1. Set the element content to the desired value, and 2. Set the dtype attribute to correspond to the data type of the element content. Danyliw Standards Track [Page 115]
RFC 7970 IODEF Version 2 November 2016 The following guidelines exist for extensions using XML (i.e., dtype="xml"): 1. The element content of the extensible class MUST be set to the desired value, and the dtype attribute MUST be set to "xml". 2. The extension schema MUST declare a separate namespace. It is RECOMMENDED that these extensions have the prefix "iodef-". This recommendation makes readability of the document easier by allowing the reader to infer which namespaces relate to IODEF by inspection. 3. It is RECOMMENDED that extension schemas follow the naming convention of the IODEF data model. This too improves the readability of extended IODEF documents. The names of all elements SHOULD be capitalized. For elements with composed names, a capital letter SHOULD be used for each word. Attribute names SHOULD be in lowercase. Attributes with composed names SHOULD be separated by a hyphen. 4. Implementations that encounter an unrecognized element, attribute, or attribute value in a supported namespace SHOULD reject the document as a syntax error. 5. There are security and performance implications in requiring implementations to dynamically download schemas at runtime. Therefore, implementations MUST NOT download schemas at runtime unless the appropriate precautions are taken. Implementations also need to contend with the potential of significant network and processing issues. 6. Some adopters of the IODEF may have private schema definitions that are not publicly available. Thus, implementations may encounter IODEF documents with references to private schemas that may not be resolvable. Hence, IODEF document recipients MUST be prepared for a schema definition in an IODEF document never to resolve. Danyliw Standards Track [Page 116]
RFC 7970 IODEF Version 2 November 2016 The following schema and XML document excerpt provide a template for an extension schema and its use in the IODEF document. This example schema defines a namespace of "iodef-extension1" and a single element named "newdata". <xs:schema targetNamespace="iodef-extension1.xsd" xmlns:iodef-extension1="iodef-extension1.xsd" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> attributeFormDefault="unqualified" elementFormDefault="qualified"> <xs:import namespace="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:iodef-2.0" schemaLocation=" urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:iodef-2.0"/> <xs:element name="newdata" type="xs:string" /> </xs:schema> The following XML excerpt demonstrates the use of the above schema as an extension to the IODEF. <IODEF-Document version="2.00" lang="en-US" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:iodef-2.0" xmlns:iodef=" urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:iodef-2.0" xmlns:iodef-extension1="iodef-extension1.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="iodef-extension1.xsd"> <Incident purpose="reporting"> ... <AdditionalData dtype="xml" meaning="xml"> <iodef-extension1:newdata> Field that could not be represented elsewhere </iodef-extension1:newdata> </AdditionalData> </Incident> </IODEF-Document> 5.3. Deconflicting Private Extensions To disambiguate which private extension is used in an IODEF document, the data model provides a means to identify the source of an extension. Two attributes in the IODEF-Document class, private-enum-name and private-enum-id, are used to specify this attribution. Only a single private extension can be identified in a given IODEF-Document. Danyliw Standards Track [Page 117]
RFC 7970 IODEF Version 2 November 2016 If an implementor has a single private extension, then only the private-enum-name attribute needs to be specified. Multiple distinct private extensions or versioning of a single extension can be attributed by also setting the corresponding private-num-id attribute. The following XML excerpt demonstrates the specification of a private extension from "example.com" with an identifier of "13". <IODEF-Document version="2.00" lang="en-US" private-enum-name="example.com" private-enum-id="13" ...> ... </IODEF-Document> If an unrecognized private extension is encountered in processing, the recipient MAY reject the entire document as a syntax error. 6. Internationalization Issues Internationalization and localization is of specific concern to the IODEF as it facilitates operational coordination with a diverse set of partners. The IODEF implements internationalization by relying on XML constructs and through explicit design choices in the data model. Since the IODEF is implemented as an XML schema, it supports different character encodings, such as UTF-8 and UTF-16, that are possible with XML. Additionally, each IODEF document MUST specify the language in which its content is encoded. The language can be specified with the attribute "xml:lang" (per Section 2.12 of [W3C.XML]) in the top-level element (i.e., IODEF-Document) and lets all other elements inherit that definition. All IODEF classes with a free-form text definition (i.e., all those defined with type iodef:MLStringType) can also specify a language different from the rest of the document. The data model supports multiple translations of free-form text. All ML_STRING (iodef:MLStringType) classes have a one-to-many cardinality to their parent. This allows the identical text translated into different languages to be encoded in different instances of the same class with a common parent. This design also enables the creation of a single document containing all the translations. The IODEF implementation SHOULD extract the appropriate language relevant to the recipient. Danyliw Standards Track [Page 118]
RFC 7970 IODEF Version 2 November 2016 Related instances of a given iodef:MLStringType class that are translations of each other are identified by a common identifier set in the translation-id attribute. The example below shows three instances of a Description class expressed in three different languages. The relationship between these three instances of the Description class is conveyed by the common value of "1" in the translation-id attribute. <IODEF-Document version="2.00" xml:lang="en" ...> <Incident purpose="reporting"> ... <Description translation-id="1" xml:lang="en">English</Description> <Description translation-id="1" xml:lang="de">Englisch</Description> <Description translation-id="1" xml:lang="fr">Anglais</Description> The IODEF balances internationalization support with the need for interoperability. While the IODEF supports different languages, the data model also relies heavily on standardized enumerated attributes that can crudely approximate the contents of the document. With this approach, a CSIRT should be able to make some sense of an IODEF document it receives even if the free-form text data elements are written in a language unfamiliar to the recipient. 7.

RFC 7970 IODEF Version 2 November 2016 9. Security Considerations The IODEF data model does not directly introduce security or privacy issues. However, as the data encoded by the IODEF might be considered sensitive by the parties exchanging it or by those described by it, care needs to be taken to ensure appropriate handling during the document construction, exchange, processing, archiving, subsequent retrieval, and analysis. 9.1. Security The underlying messaging format and protocol used to exchange instances of the IODEF MUST provide appropriate guarantees of confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity. The use of a standardized security protocol is encouraged. The Real-time Inter- network Defense (RID) protocol [RFC6545] and its associated transport binding IODEF/RID over HTTP/TLS [RFC6546] provide such security. An IODEF implementation may act on the data in the document. These actions might be explicitly requested in the document or the result of analytical logic that triggered on data in the document. For this reason, care must be taken by IODEF implementations to properly authenticate the sender and receiver of the document. The sender needs confidence that sensitive information and timely requests for action are sent to the correct recipient. The recipient may interpret the contents of the document differently based on who sent it or vary actions based on the sender. While the sender of the document may explicitly convey confidence in the data in a granular way using the Confidence class, the recipient is free to ignore or refine this information to make its own assessment. Ambiguous Confidence elements (where it is unclear to which of a set of other elements the Confidence element relates) in a document MUST be ignored by the recipient. Certain classes may require out-of-band coordination to agree upon their semantics (e.g., Confidence@rating="low" or DefinedCOA). This coordination MUST occur prior to operational data exchange to prevent the incorrect interpretation of these select data elements. When parsing these data elements, implementations should validate, when possible, that they conform to the agreed upon semantics. These semantics may need to be periodically reevaluated. Executable content of various forms could be embedded into the IODEF document directly or through an extension. Implementation MUST handle this content with care to prevent unintentional automated execution. The following classes are explicitly intended to represent content that might be executable: Danyliw Standards Track [Page 161]
RFC 7970 IODEF Version 2 November 2016 o All classes of type iodef:ExtensionType and the RecordPattern class can represent arbitrary binary strings such as legitimate software programs or malware. o The EmailMessage and EmailBody classes can represent email attachments that can contain arbitrary content. o The DetectionPattern class could specify a machine-readable configuration that directs the execution of the corresponding tool. Per Section 4.3, IODEF implementations will need to periodically consult the IANA registries specified in Section 10.2 to discover newly registered enumerated attribute values. These implementations MUST communicate with IANA in a way that ensures the integrity of the values and the authenticity of the source. HTTPS over TLS [RFC2818][RFC5246] provides such security. 9.2. Privacy The IODEF contains numerous fields that are identifiers that could be linked to an individual or organization. IODEF documents may contain sensitive information about these identified parties; repeated document exchanges about the same and related parties may enable the correlation of data about them. Likewise, a party may report on another to a third party without their knowledge. When creating an IODEF document, careful consideration must be given to what information is shared. Personal identifiers and attributable sensitive information should only be shared when necessary. When exchanging documents, transport security MUST provide document- level confidentiality. XML element-level confidentiality can also be provided by using [W3C.XMLENC]. In order to suggest data processing and handling guidelines of the encoded information, the IODEF allows a document sender to convey a privacy policy using the restriction attribute. The various instances of this attribute allow different data elements of the document to be covered by dissimilar policies. While flexible, it must be stressed that this approach only serves as a guideline from the sender, as the recipient is free to ignore it. Although outside of the scope of an IODEF implementation, the contents of IODEF documents and any derived analysis should be archived with appropriate confidentiality controls. Likewise, access to retrieve and analyze this data should be restricted to authorized users. Danyliw Standards Track [Page 162]
RFC 7970 IODEF Version 2 November 2016 10. IANA Considerations This document registers a namespace, an XML schema, and a number of registries that map to enumerated values defined in the data model. It also defines an Expert Review process for IODEF-related XML registry entries. 10.1. Namespace and Schema This document uses URNs to describe an XML namespace and schema conforming to a registry mechanism described in [RFC3688]. Registration for the IODEF namespace: o URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:iodef-2.0 o Registrant Contact: See the author in the "Author's Address" section of this document. o XML: None. Namespace URIs do not represent an XML specification. Registration for the IODEF XML schema: o URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:iodef-2.0 o Registrant Contact: See the first author of the "Author's Address" section of this document. o XML: See Section 8 of this document. 10.2. Enumerated Value Registries This document creates 34 identically structured registries to be managed by IANA: o Name of the parent registry: "Incident Object Description Exchange Format v2 (IODEF)" o URL of the registry: <http://www.iana.org/assignments/iodef2> o Namespace format: A registry entry consists of: * Value. A value for a given IODEF attribute. It MUST conform to the formatting specified by the IODEF ENUM data type which is implemented as an "xs:NMTOKEN" type per Section 3.3.4 of [W3C.SCHEMA.DTYPES]. The value SHOULD conform to the convention specified in Section 5.2. Danyliw Standards Track [Page 163]
RFC 7970 IODEF Version 2 November 2016 * Description. A short description of the enumerated value. * Reference. An optional list of URIs to further describe the value. o Allocation policy: Expert Review per [RFC5226]. This reviewer will ensure that the requested registry entry conforms to the prescribed formatting. The reviewer will also ensure that the entry is an appropriate value for the attribute per the information model (Section 3). The registries to be created are named in the "Registry Name" column of Table 1. Each registry is initially populated with values and descriptions that come from an attribute specified in the IODEF schema (Section 8) whose description is found in a sub-section of the information model (Section 3). The initial values for the Value and Description fields of a given registry are listed in the "IV (Value)" and "IV (Desc.)" columns, respectively. The "IV (Value)" points to a given schema type per Section 8. Each enumerated value in the schema gets a corresponding entry in a given registry. The "IV (Desc.)" points to a section in the text of this document that describes each enumerated value. The initial value of the Reference field of every registry entry described below should be this document. Danyliw Standards Track [Page 164]

Expert Review of IODEF-Related XML Registry Entries IODEF class extensions, per Section 5.2, could register their namespaces and schemas with the IANA XML namespace ("ns" on <http://www.iana.org/assignments/xml-registry/>) and schema registries ("schema" on <http://www.iana.org/assignments/ xml-registry/>) described in [RFC3688]. In addition to any reviews required by IANA, changes to the XML "schema" registry for schema names beginning with "urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:iodef" are subject to an additional IODEF Expert Review [RFC5226] to ensure compatibility with IODEF and other existing IODEF extensions.
