The Incident Object Description Exchange Format v2
draft-ietf-mile-rfc5070-bis-22
Abstract
The Incident Object Description Exchange Format (IODEF) defines a
data representation for security incident reports and cyber
indicators commonly exchanged by operational security teams for
mitigation and watch and warning. This document describes an updated
information model for the IODEF and provides an associated data model
specified with XML Schema. This new information and data model
obsoletes Request for Comment (RFC) 5070, "The Incident Object
Description Exchange Format".

Internet-Draft IODEF v2 May 2016
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
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). It
provides an XML representation for conveying:
o cyber intelligence to characterize threats;
o cyber incident reports to document particular cyber security
events or relationships between events;
o cyber event mitigation activity to proactively and reactively
mitigate activity; and
o meta-data 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 cyber 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 cyber intelligence
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.

Internet-Draft IODEF v2 May 2016
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.
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 cyber 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].
Danyliw Expires November 27, 2016 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft IODEF v2 May 2016
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. Changelog
A detailed list of additions made to the [RFC5070] data model are
enumerated in this section. See Section 4.4 for a list of
incompatible changes.
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 (Section 3.28) class (Section 3.28) to represent
indicators.
o Added the private-enum-name and -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.
Danyliw Expires November 27, 2016 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft IODEF v2 May 2016
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.

(Section 3.26) 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 a
"xs:integer" type per Section 3.3.13 of [W3C.SCHEMA.DTYPES].
Danyliw Expires November 27, 2016 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft IODEF v2 May 2016
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 a "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 a "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.
+------------------------+
| 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.
Danyliw Expires November 27, 2016 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft IODEF v2 May 2016
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 a
"xs:base64Binary" type per Section 3.2.16 of [W3C.SCHEMA.DTYPES].
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 a "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 a
"xs:NMTOKEN" type per Section 3.3.4 of [W3C.SCHEMA.DTYPES].

Internet-Draft IODEF v2 May 2016
2.7. Date-Time String
A date-time strings 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 a
"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".

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.
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
Danyliw Expires November 27, 2016 [Page 22]
Internet-Draft IODEF v2 May 2016
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.
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.
Danyliw Expires November 27, 2016 [Page 23]
Internet-Draft IODEF v2 May 2016
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.

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.

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.

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 the detailed information
in an EventData class the more specific EventData class MUST
supersede the more generic information provided in Incident class.
3.14.2. Recursive Definition of EventData
The EventData class is 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.

of this element indicates no expectations of when the recipient
would like the action performed.
EndTime
Zero or one. DATETIME. The time by which the sender expects the
recipient to complete the action. If the recipient cannot
complete the action before EndTime, the recipient MUST NOT carry
out the action. Because of transit delays and clock drift the
sender MUST be prepared for the recipient to have carried out the
action, even if it completes past EndTime.

Optional. STRING. A means by which to extend the operator

3.29.5. Expressions with IndicatorExpression
Boolean algebraic expressions can be used to specify relationships
between observables and indicator. 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 four examples in Figure 66 through Figure 69 illustrate
these parsing rules:
1 : <IndicatorExpression>
2 [O1]: <Observable>..</Observable>
3 [O2]: <Observable>..</Observable>
4 : </IndicatorExpression>
Equivalent expression: (O1 AND O2)

Zero or more. ML_STRING. A free-form text description of this
phase of the attack.
AdditionalData
Zero or more. EXTENSION. A mechanism by which to extend the data
model.
AttackPhase MUST have at least one instance of a child class.
The AttackPhase class has no attributes.
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 no character encoding will read as follows:
Danyliw Expires November 27, 2016 [Page 108]
Internet-Draft IODEF v2 May 2016
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
When a character encoding is specified, the XML declaration will read
as follows:
<?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 [RFC2978].
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-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; some that
cannot be conveniently encoded in the schema. These MUST 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, the
schema to validate a given document MUST be dynamically generated
from these registry values.

Internet-Draft IODEF v2 May 2016
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 [RFC-ENUM].
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 Incident/ReportTime is no longer mandatory. However,
GenerationTime is.
o The Fax class was removed and is now represented by a generic
Telephone class.
o The Telephone, Email and PostalAddress classes were redefined from
improved internationalization.

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 a 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.
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">
Danyliw Expires November 27, 2016 [Page 111]
Internet-Draft IODEF v2 May 2016
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 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.
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
Danyliw Expires November 27, 2016 [Page 112]
Internet-Draft IODEF v2 May 2016
names, a capital letter SHOULD be used for each word. Attribute
names SHOULD be in lower case. Attributes with composed names
SHOULD be separated by a hyphen.
4. Implementations that encounter an unrecognized element in a
supported namespace MUST reject the document as a syntax error.
5. There are security and performance implications in requiring
implementations to dynamically download schemas at run time.
Therefore, implementations SHOULD 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.
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.

<AdditionalData dtype="xml" meaning="xml">

</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.
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.

Internet-Draft IODEF v2 May 2016
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, 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
letting 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.
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
Danyliw Expires November 27, 2016 [Page 115]
Internet-Draft IODEF v2 May 2016
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.

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.
The contents of an IODEF document may include a request for action.
An IODEF implementation may also initiate courses of action based on
the document contents. For these reasons, care must be taken by
IODEF implementations to properly authenticate the sender and
receiver of the document. The recipient must also ascribe
appropriate confidence to the data prior to action.
Executable content could be embedded into the IODEF document directly
or through an extension. The IODEF implementation MUST handle this
content with care to prevent unintentional automated execution.
Danyliw Expires November 27, 2016 [Page 157]
Internet-Draft IODEF v2 May 2016
9.2. Privacy
The IODEF contains numerous fields that are identifiers which could
be linked to an individual or organization. IODEF documents may
contain sensitive information about these identified parties; and
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 at appropriate confidentiality controls. Likewise,
access to retrieve and analyze this data should be restricted to
authorized users.
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.
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 first author of the "Author's Address"
section of this document.
Danyliw Expires November 27, 2016 [Page 158]
Internet-Draft IODEF v2 May 2016
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.
* 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 (Description)" columns respectively. The "IV (Value)" points
to a given schema type per Section 8. Each enumerated value in the
Danyliw Expires November 27, 2016 [Page 159]
Internet-Draft IODEF v2 May 2016
schema gets a corresponding entry in a given registry. The "IV
(Description)" 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.
