1. Introduction
Our goal with this document is to improve our agreement on the
terminology used in documents produced by the IETF Working Group for
Security Automation and Continuous Monitoring. Agreeing on
terminology should help reach consensus on which problems we're
trying to solve, and propose solutions and decide which ones to use.
2. Terms and Definitions
This section describes terms that have been defined by other RFC's
and defines new ones. The predefined terms will reference the RFC
and where appropriate will be annotated with the specific context by
which the term is used in SACM.
Assertion: Defined by the ITU in [X.1252] as "a statement made by an
entity without accompanying evidence of its validity". In the
context of SACM, an assertion is the output of a SACM component in
the form of a statement (including metadata about the data source
and data origin, e.g. timestamps). While the validity of an
assertion cannot be verified without, for example, an additional
attestation protocol, an assertion (and therefore a statement,
respectively) can be accompanied by evidence of the validity of
its metadata provided by a SACM component.
Assessment: Defined in [RFC5209] as "the process of collecting
posture for a set of capabilities on the endpoint (e.g., host-
