Internet-Draft IODEF July 2007 1. 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 bot- network, or sharing watch-lists of known malicious IP addresses 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). It provides an XML representation for conveying incident information across administrative domains between parties that have an operational responsibility of remediation or a watch-and-warning over a defined constituency. The data model encodes information about hosts, networks, and the services running on these systems; attack methodology and associated forensic evidence; impact of the activity; and limited approaches for documenting workflow. The overriding purpose of the IODEF is to enhance the operational capabilities of CSIRTs. Community adoption of the IODEF provides an improved ability to resolve incidents and convey situational awareness by simplifying collaboration and data sharing. This structured format provided by the IODEF allows for: o increased automation in processing of incident data since the resources of security analysts to parse free-form textual documents will be reduced; o decreased effort in normalizing similar data (even when highly structured) from different sources; and o a common format on which to build interoperable tools for incident handling and subsequent analysis, specifically when data comes from multiple constituencies. Coordinating with other CSIRTs is not strictly a technical problem. There are numerous procedural, trust, and legal considerations that might prevent an organization from sharing information. The IODEF does not attempt to address them. However operational implementations of the IODEF will need to consider this broader context. Sections 3 and 8 specify the IODEF data model with text and an XML schema. The types used by the data model are covered in Section 2. Processing considerations, the handling of extensions, and internationalization issues related to the data model are covered in Danyliw, et al. Expires February 1, 2008 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft IODEF July 2007 Sections 4, 5, and 6 respectively. Examples are listed in Section 7. Section 1 provides the background for the IODEF, and Section 9 documents the security considerations. 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 [6]. Definitions for some of the common computer security-related terminology used in this document can be found in Section 2 of [16]. 1.2. Notations The normative IODEF data model is specified with the text in Section 3 and the XML schema in Section 8. To help 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. 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 specific elements and attributes of the IODEF schema. The terms "class", and "element" will be used interchangeably to reference either the corresponding data element in the information or data models respectively. 1.3. About the IODEF Data Model The IODEF data model is a data representation that provides a framework for sharing information commonly exchanged by CSIRTs about computer security incidents. A number of considerations were made in the design of the data model. o The data model serves as a transport format. Therefore, its specific representation is not the optimal representation for on- disk storage, long-term archiving, or in-memory processing. o As there is no precise, widely agreed upon definition for an incident, the data model does not attempt to dictate one through its implementation. Rather, a broad understanding is assumed in the IODEF that is flexible enough to encompass most operators. o Describing an incident for all definitions would require an extremely complex data model. Therefore, the IODEF only intends to be a framework to convey commonly exchanged incident information. It ensures that there are ample mechanisms for Danyliw, et al. Expires February 1, 2008 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft IODEF July 2007 extensibility to support organization-specific information, and techniques to reference information kept outside of the explicit data model. o The domain of security analysis is not fully standardized and must rely on free-form textual descriptions. The IODEF attempts to strike a balance between supporting this free-form content, while still allowing automated processing of incident information. o The IODEF is only one of several security relevant data representations being standardized. Attempts were made to ensure they were complimentary. The data model of the Intrusion Detection Message Exchange Format [17] influenced the design of the IODEF. Further discussion of the desirable properties for the IODEF can be found in the Requirements for the Format for Incident Information Exchange (FINE) [16]. 1.4. About the IODEF Implementation The IODEF implementation is specified as an Extensible Markup Language (XML) [1] Schema [2] in Section 8. Implementing the IODEF in XML provides numerous advantages. Its extensibility makes it ideal for specifying a data encoding framework that supports various character encodings. Likewise, the abundance of related technologies (e.g., XSL, XPath, XML-Signature) makes for simplified manipulation. However, XML is fundamentally a text representation which makes it inherently inefficient when binary data must be embedded or large volumes of data must be exchanged. Danyliw, et al.

Internet-Draft IODEF July 2007 2. IODEF Data Types The various data elements of the IODEF data model are typed. This section discusses these data types. When possible, native Schema data types were adopted, but for more complicated formats, regular expressions (see Appendix F of [3]) or external standards were used. 2.1. Integers An integer is represented by the INTEGER data type. Integer data MUST be encoded in Base 10. The INTEGER data type is implemented as an "xs:integer" [3] in the schema. 2.2. Real Numbers Real (floating-point) attributes are represented by the REAL data type. Real data MUST be encoded in Base 10. The REAL data type is implemented as an "xs:float" [3] in the schema. 2.3. Characters and Strings A single character is represented by the CHARACTER data type. A character 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 implement as an "xs:string" [3] in the schema. 2.4. Multilingual Strings STRING data that represents multi-character attributes in a language different than the default encoding of the document is of the ML_STRING data type. The ML_STRING data type is implemented as an "iodef:MLStringType" in the schema. 2.5. Bytes A binary octet is represented by the BYTE data type. A sequence of binary octets is represented by the BYTE[] data type. These octets are encoded using base64. The BYTE data type is implemented as an "xs:base64Binary" [3] in the schema. Danyliw, et al. Expires February 1, 2008 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft IODEF July 2007 2.6. Hexadecimal Bytes A binary octet is represented by the HEXBIN (and HEXBIN[]) data type. This octet is encoded as a character tuple consisting of two hexadecimal digits. The HEXBIN data type is implemented as an "xs:hexBinary" [3] in the schema. 2.7. Enumerated Types Enumerated types are represented by the ENUM data type, and consist of an ordered list of acceptable values. Each value has a representative keyword. Within the IODEF schema, the enumerated type keywords are used as attribute values. The ENUM data type is implemented as a series of "xs:NMTOKEN" in the schema. 2.8. Date-Time Strings Date-time strings are represented by the DATETIME data type. Each date-time string identifies a particular instant in time; ranges are not supported. Date-time strings are formatted according to a subset of ISO 8601: 2000 [13] documented in RFC 3339 [12]. The DATETIME data type is implemented as an "xs:dateTime" [3] in the schema. 2.9. Timezone string A timezone offset from UTC is represented 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 as an "xs:string" with a regular expression constraint in the schema. This regular expression is identical to the timezone representation implemented in an "xs: dateTime". 2.10. Port Lists A list of network ports are represented 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+)?)*". Danyliw, et al. Expires February 1, 2008 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft IODEF July 2007 For example, "2,5-15,30,32,40-50,55-60". The PORTLIST data type is implemented as an "xs:string" with a regular expression constraint in the schema. 2.11. Postal Address A postal address is represented by the POSTAL data type. This data type is a ML_STRING whose format is documented in Sections 2.23 of RFC 4519 [10]. It defines a postal address as a free-form multi-line string separated by the "$" character. The POSTAL data type is implemented as an "xs:string" in the schema. 2.12. Person or Organization The name of an individual or organization is represented by the NAME data type. This data type is an ML_STRING whose format is documented in Section 2.3 of RFC 4519 [10]. The NAME data type is implemented as an "xs:string" in the schema. 2.13. Telephone and Fax Numbers A telephone or fax number is represented by the PHONE data type. The format of the PHONE data type is documented in Section 2.35 of RFC 4519 [10]. The PHONE data type is implemented as an "xs:string" in the schema. 2.14. Email string An email address is represented by the EMAIL data type. The format of the EMAIL data type is documented in Section 3.4.1 RFC 2822 [11] The EMAIL data type is implemented as an "xs:string" in the schema. 2.15. Uniform Resource Locator strings A uniform resource locator (URL is represented by the URL data type. The format of the URL data type is documented in RFC 2396 [8]. The URL data type is implemented as an "xs:anyURI" in the schema. Danyliw, et al. Expires February 1, 2008 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft IODEF July 2007 3. The IODEF Data Model In this section, the individual components of the IODEF data model will be discussed in detail. For each class, the semantics will be described and the relationship with other classes will be depicted with UML. When necessary, specific comments will be made about corresponding definition in the schema in Section 8 3.1. IODEF-Document class The IODEF-Document class is the top level class in the IODEF data model. All IODEF documents are an instance of this class. +-----------------+ | IODEF-Document | +-----------------+ | STRING version |<>--{1..*}--[ Incident ] | ENUM lang | | STRING formatid | +-----------------+ Figure 1: IODEF-Document class The aggregate class that constitute IODEF-Document is: Incident One or more. The information related to a single incident. The IODEF-Document class has three attributes: version Required. STRING. The IODEF specification version number to which this IODEF document conforms. The value of this attribute MUST be "1.00" lang Required. ENUM. A valid language code per RFC 4646 [7] constrained by the definition of "xs:language". The interpretation of this code is described in Section 6. formatid Optional. STRING. A free-form string to convey processing instructions to the recipient of the document. Its semantics must be negotiated out-of-band. Danyliw, et al. Expires February 1, 2008 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft IODEF July 2007 3.2. Incident class Every incident is represented by an instance of the Incident class. This class provides a standardized representation for commonly exchanged incident data. +--------------------+ | Incident | +--------------------+ | ENUM purpose |<>----------[ IncidentID ] | STRING ext-purpose |<>--{0..1}--[ AlternativeID ] | ENUM lang |<>--{0..1}--[ RelatedActivity ] | ENUM restriction |<>--{0..1}--[ DetectTime ] | |<>--{0..1}--[ StartTime ] | |<>--{0..1}--[ EndTime ] | |<>----------[ ReportTime ] | |<>--{0..*}--[ Description ] | |<>--{1..*}--[ Assessment ] | |<>--{0..*}--[ Method ] | |<>--{1..*}--[ Contact ] | |<>--{0..*}--[ EventData ] | |<>--{0..1}--[ History ] | |<>--{0..*}--[ AdditionalData ] +--------------------+ Figure 2: the Incident class The aggregate classes that constitute Incident are: IncidentID One. An incident tracking number assigned to this incident by the CSIRT that generated the IODEF document. AlternativeID Zero or one. The incident tracking numbers used by other CSIRTs to refer to the incident described in the document. RelatedActivity Zero or one. The incident tracking numbers of related incidents. DetectTime Zero or one. The time the incident was first detected. StartTime Zero or one. The time the incident started. Danyliw, et al. Expires February 1, 2008 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft IODEF July 2007 EndTime Zero or one. The time the incident ended. ReportTime One. The time the incident was reported. Description Zero or more. ML_STRING. A free-form textual description of the incident. Assessment One or more. A characterization of the impact of the incident. Method Zero or more. The techniques used by the intruder in the incident. Contact One or more. Contact information for the parties involved in the incident. EventData Zero or more. Description of the events comprising the incident, History Zero or one. A log of significant events or actions that occurred during the course of handling the incident. AdditionalData Zero or more. Mechanism by which to extend the data model. The Incident class has four attributes: purpose Required. ENUM. The purpose attribute represents the reason why the IODEF document was created. It is closely related to the Expectation class (Section 3.13). This attribute is defined as an enumerated list: 1. traceback. The document was sent for trace-back purposes; 2. mitigation. The document was sent to request aid in mitigating the described activity; 3. reporting. The document was sent to comply with reporting requirements; Danyliw, et al. Expires February 1, 2008 [Page 13]
Internet-Draft IODEF July 2007 4. other. The document was sent for purposes specified in the Expectation class. 5. ext-value. An escape value used to extend this attribute. See Section 5.1. ext-purpose Optional. STRING. A means by which to extend the purpose attribute. See Section 5.1. lang Optional. ENUM. A valid language code per RFC 4646 [7] constrained by the definition of "xs:language". The interpretation of this code is described in Section 6. restriction Optional. ENUM. This 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 specified 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. 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. 1. public. There are no restrictions placed in the information; Danyliw, et al. Expires February 1, 2008 [Page 14]
Internet-Draft IODEF July 2007 2. need-to-know. The information may be shared with other parties that are involved in the incident as determined by the recipient of this document (e.g., multiple victim sites can be informed of each other); 3. private. The information may not be shared. 4. default. The information can be shared according to an information disclosure policy pre-arranged by the communicating parties. 3.3. IncidentID class The IncidentID class represents an incident tracking number that is unique in the context of the CSIRT and identifies the activity characterized in an IODEF Document. This identifier would serve as an index into the CSIRT incident handling 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 | +------------------+ Figure 3: the IncidentID class The IncidentID class has three attributes: 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. instance Optional. STRING. An identifier referencing a subset of the named incident. Danyliw, et al. Expires February 1, 2008 [Page 15]
Internet-Draft IODEF July 2007 restriction Optional. ENUM. This attribute has been defined in Section 3.2. 3.4. AlternativeID class The AlternativeID class lists the incident tracking numbers used by CSIRTs, other than the one generating the document, to refer to the identical activity described the IODEF document. A tracking number listed as an AlternativeID references the same incident detected by another CSIRT. The incident tracking numbers of the CSIRT that generated the IODEF document should never be considered an AlternativeID. +------------------+ | AlternativeID | +------------------+ | ENUM restriction |<>--{1..*}--[ IncidentID ] | | +------------------+ Figure 4: the AlternativeID class The aggregate class that constitutes AlternativeID is: IncidentID One or more. The incident tracking number of another CSIRT. The AlternativeID class has one attribute: restriction Optional. ENUM. This attribute has been defined in Section 3.2. 3.5. RelatedActivity class The RelatedActivity class lists either incident tracking numbers of incidents or URLs (not both) that refer to activity related to the one described in the IODEF document.

The incident tracking number of a related incident. URL One or more. URL. A URL to activity related to this incident. The RelatedActivity class has one attribute: restriction Optional. ENUM. This attribute has been defined in Section 3.2. 3.6. AdditionalData The AdditionalData class serves as an extension mechanism for information not otherwise represented in the data model. For relatively simple information, atomic data types (e.g., integers, strings) are provided with a mechanism to annotate their meaning. The class can also be used to extend the data model (and the associated Schema) to support proprietary extensions by encapsulating entire XML documents conforming to another Schema (e.g., IDMEF). A detailed discussion for extending the data model and the schema can be found in Section 5. Unlike XML, which is self-describing, atomic data must be documented to convey its meaning. This information is described in the 'meaning' attribute. Since these description are outside the scope of the specification, some additional coordination may be required to ensure that a recipient of a document using the AdditionalData classes can make sense of the custom extensions.

Internet-Draft IODEF July 2007 3.12.1. Relating the Incident and EventData classes There is substantial overlap 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 most common case, the EventData class will provide more specific information for the general description provided in the Incident class. However, it may also be possible that the overall summarized information about the incident conflicts with some individual information in an EventData class when there is a substantial composition of various events in the incident. In such as case, the interpretation of the more specific EventData MUST supersede the more generic information provided in IncidentData. 3.12.2. Cardinality of EventData The EventData class can be thought of as 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. With an instance of the EventData class, hosts (i.e., System class) are grouped around these common properties. The recursive definition (or instance property inheritance) of the EventData class (the EventData class is aggregated into the EventData class) provides a way to related information without requiring the explicit use of unique attribute identifiers in the classes or duplicating information. Instead, the relative depth (nesting) of a class is used to group (relate) information. For example, an EventData class might be used to describe two machines involved in an incident. This description can be achieved using multiple instances of the Flow class. It happens that there is a common technical contact (i.e., Contact class) for these two machines, but the impact (i.e., Assessment class) on them is different. A depiction of the representation for this situation can be found in Figure 23. Danyliw, et al. Expires February 1, 2008 [Page 38]

Internet-Draft IODEF July 2007 System One or More. A host or network involved in an event. The Flow System class has no attributes. 3.15. System class The System class describes a system or network involved in an event. The systems or networks represented by this class are categorized according to the role they played in the incident through the category attribute. The value of this category attribute dictates the semantics of the aggregated classes in the System class. If the category attribute has a value of "source", then the aggregated classes denote the machine and service from which the activity is originating. With a category attribute value of "target" or "intermediary", then the machine or service is the one targeted in the activity. A value of "sensor" dictates that this System was part of an instrumentation to monitor the network. +---------------------+ | System | +---------------------+ | ENUM restriction |<>----------[ Node ] | ENUM category |<>--{0..*}--[ Service ] | STRING ext-category |<>--{0..*}--[ OperatingSystem ] | STRING interface |<>--{0..*}--[ Counter ] | ENUM spoofed |<>--{0..*}--[ Description ] | |<>--{0..*}--[ AdditionalData ] +---------------------+ Figure 26: the System class The aggregate classes that constitute System are: Node One.

Service class The Service class describes a network service of a host or network. The service is identified by specific port or list of ports, along with the application listening on that port. When Service occurs as an aggregate class of a System that is a source, then this service is the one from which activity of interest is originating. Conversely, when Service occurs as an aggregate class of a System that is a target, then that service is the one to which activity of interest is directed. This class was derived from the IDMEF [17].

Either a Port or Portlist class MUST be specified for a given instance of a Service class. For a given source, System@type="source", a corresponding target, System@type="target", maybe defined, or vice versa. When a Portlist class is defined in the Service class of both the source and target in a given instance of the Flow class, there MUST be symmetry in the enumeration of the ports. Thus, if n-ports are listed for a source, n-ports should be listed for the target. Likewise, the ports should be listed in an identical sequence such that the n-th port in the Danyliw, et al.

Internet-Draft IODEF July 2007 4. Processing Considerations This section defines additional requirements on creating and parsing IODEF documents. 4.1. Encoding Every IODEF document MUST begin with an XML declaration, and MUST specify the XML version used. If UTF-8 encoding is not used, the character encoding MUST also be explicitly specified. The IODEF conforms to all XML data encoding conventions and constraints. The XML declaration with no character encoding will read as follows: <?xml version="1.0" ?> When a character encoding is specified, the XML declaration will read like the following: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="charset" ?> Where "charset" is the name of the character encoding as registered with the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), see [9]. The following characters have special meaning in XML and MUST be escaped with their entity reference equivalent: "&", "<", ">", "\"" (double quotation mark), and "'" (apostrophe). These entity references are "&", "<", ">", """, and "'" respectively. 4.2. IODEF Namespace The IODEF schema declares a namespace of "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:iodef-1.0" and registers it per [4]. Each IODEF document SHOULD 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="1.00" lang="en-US" xmlns:iodef="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:iodef-1.0" xsi:schemaLocation="urn:ietf:params:xmls:schema:iodef-1.0" 4.3. Validation The IODEF documents MUST be well-formed XML and SHOULD be validated against the schema described in Section 8. However, mere conformance to the schema is not sufficient for a semantically valid IODEF Danyliw, et al. Expires February 1, 2008 [Page 56]
Internet-Draft IODEF July 2007 document. There is additional specification in the text of Section 3 that cannot be readily encoded in the schema and it must also be considered by an IODEF parser. The following is a list of discrepancies in what is more strictly specified in the normative text (Section 3) but not enforced in the IODEF schema: o The elements or attributes that are defined as POSTAL, NAME, PHONE, and EMAIL data-types are implemented as "xs:string", but more rigid formatting requirements are specified in the text. o The IODEF-Document@lang and MLStringType@lang attributes are declared as an "xs:language" which constrains values with a regular expression. However, the value of this attribute still needs to be validated against the list of possible enumerated values is defined in [7]. o The MonetaryImpact@currency attribute is declared as an "xs: string", but the list of valid values is defined in [14]. o All of the aggregated classes Contact and EventData are optional in the schema, but at least one of these aggregated classes MUST be present. o There are multiple conventions that can be used to categorize a system using the NodeRole class or to specify software with the Application and OperatingSystem classes. IODEF parsers MUST accept incident reports that do not use these fields in accordance with local conventions. o The Confidence@rating attribute determines whether the element content of Confidence should be empty. o The Address@type attribute determines the format of the element content. o The attributes AdditionalData@dtype and RecordItem@dtype derived from iodef:ExtensionType determine the semantics and formatting of the element content. o Symmetry in the enumerated ports of a Portlist class is required between sources and targets.

Internet-Draft IODEF July 2007 5. Extending the IODEF In order to support the changing activity of CSIRTS, the IODEF data model will need to evolve along with them. This section discusses how new data elements that have no current representation in the data model can be incorporated into the IODEF. These techniques are designed so that adding new data will not require a change to the IODEF schema. With proven value, well documented extensions can be incorporated into future versions of the specification. However, this approach also supports private extensions relevant only to a closed consortium. 5.1. Extending the enumerated values of attributes The data model supports a means by which to add new enumerated values to an attribute. For each attribute that supports this extension technique, there is a corresponding attribute in the same element whose name is identical less a prefix of "ext-". This special attribute is referred to as the extension attribute, and 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, and therefore many extension, attributes. In addition to a corresponding extension attribute, each extensible attribute has "ext-value" as one its possible values. This particular value serves as an escape sequence and has no valid meaning. 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, an extended instance of the type attribute of the Impact class would look as follows: <Impact 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". 5.2. Extending classes The classes of the data model can be extended only through the use of the AdditionalData and RecordItem classes. These container classes, collectively referred to as the extensible classes, are implemented with the iodef:ExtensionType data type in the schema. 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 a few of the more Danyliw, et al. Expires February 1, 2008 [Page 58]
Internet-Draft IODEF July 2007 complicated 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 of extensible class to the desired value, and 2. Set the dtype attribute to correspond to the data type of the element content. The following guidelines exist for extensions using 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-". 3. It is RECOMMENDED that extension schemas follow the naming convention of the IODEF data model. The names of all elements are capitalized. For composed names, a capital letter is used for each word. Attribute names are lower case. 4. When a parser encounters an IODEF document with an extension it does not understand, this extension MUST be ignored (and not processed), but the remainder of the document MUST be processed. Parsers will able to identify these extensions for which they have no processing logic through the namespace declaration. Parsers that encounter an unrecognized element in a namespace that they do support SHOULD reject the document as a syntax error. 5. Implementations SHOULD NOT download schemas at runtime due to the security implications and extensions MUST NOT be required to provide a resolvable location of their schema. 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". Danyliw, et al. Expires February 1, 2008 [Page 59]

Internet-Draft IODEF July 2007 6. Internationalization issues Internationalization and localization is of specific concern to the IODEF, since it is only through collaboration, often across language barriers, that certain incidents be resolved. The IODEF supports this goal by depending on XML constructs, and through explicit design choices in the data model. Since IODEF is implemented as an XML Schema, it implicitly supports all the different character encodings, such as UTF-8 and UTF-16, possible with XML. Additionally, each IODEF document MUST specify the language in which their contents are encoded. The language can be specified with the attribute "xml:lang" (per Section 2.12 of [1]) in the top-level element (i.e., IODEF-Document@lang) and letting all other elements inherit that definition. All IODEF classes with a free-form text definition (i.e., all those defined of type iodef: MLStringType) can also specify a language different from the rest of the document. The valid language codes for the "xml:lang" attribute are described in RFC 4646 [7]. The data model supports multiple translations of free-form text. In the places where free-text is used for descriptive purposes, the given class always has a one-to-many cardinality to its parent (e.g., Description class). The intent is to allow the identical text to be encoded in different instances of the same class, but each being in a different language. This approach allows an IODEF document author to send recipients speaking different languages an identical document. The IODEF parser SHOULD extract the appropriate language relevant to the recipient. While the intent of the data model is to provide internationalization and localization, the intent is not to do so at the detriment of interoperability. While the IODEF does support 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 text based data elements are written in a language unfamiliar to the analyst.

Internet-Draft IODEF July 2007 9. Security considerations The IODEF data model itself does not directly introduce security issues. Rather, it simply defines a representation for incident information. As the data encoded by the IODEF might be considered privacy sensitive by the parties exchanging the information or by those described by it, care needs to be taken in ensuring the appropriate disclosure during both document exchange and subsequent processing. The former must be handled by a messaging format but the latter risk must be addressed by the systems that process, store, and archive IODEF documents and information derived from them. The contents of an IODEF document may include a request for action or an IODEF parser may independently have logic to take certain actions based on information that it finds. For this reason, care must be taken by the parser to properly authenticate the recipient of the document and ascribe an appropriate confidence to the data prior to action. 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 [18] and its associated transport binding IODEF/RID over SOAP [19] provide such security. 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. The issue of enforcement is not a technical problem.
