Internet-Draft                  IODEF-SCI                       Jan 2014


1.  Introduction

   The number of incidents in cyber society is growing day by day.
   Incident information needs to be reported, exchanged, and shared
   among organizations in order to cope with the situation.  IODEF is
   one of the tools already in use that enables such an exchange.

   To more efficiently run security operations, information exchanged
   between organizations needs to be machine readable.  IODEF provides a
   means to describe the incident information, but it often needs to
   include various non-structured types of incident-related data in
   order to convey more specific details about what is occurring.
   Further structure within IODEF increases the machine-readability of
   the document thus providing a means for better automating certain
   security operations.

   Within the security community there exist various means for
   specifying structured descriptions of cybersecurity information such
   as [CAPEC][CCE][CCSS][CEE][CPE][CVE][CVRF][CVSS][CWE][CWSS][MAEC]
   [OCIL][OVAL][SCAP][XCCDF].  In this context, cybersecurity
   information encompasses a broad range of structured data
   representation types that may be used to assess or report on the
   security posture of an asset or set of assets.  Such structured
   descriptions facilitates a better understanding of an incident while
   enabling more streamlined automated security operations.  Because of
   this, it would be beneficial to embed and convey these types of
   information inside IODEF documents.

   This document extends IODEF to embed and convey various types of
   structured information.  Since IODEF defines a flexible and
   extensible format and supports a granular level of specificity, this
   document defines an extension to IODEF instead of defining a new
   report format.  For clarity, and to eliminate duplication, only the
   additional structures necessary for describing the exchange of such
   structured information are provided.


2.  Terminology

   The terminology used in this document follows the one defined in RFC
   5070 [RFC5070].

   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 RFC 2119 [RFC2119].

Internet-Draft                  IODEF-SCI                       Jan 2014


3.  Applicability

   To maintain awareness of the continually changing security threat
   landscape, organization needs to exchange cybersecurity information,
   which includes the following information: attack pattern, platform
   information, vulnerability and weakness, countermeasure instruction,
   computer event logs, and severity assessments.  IODEF provides a
   scheme to describe and exchange such information among interested
   parties.  However, it does not define the detailed formats to specify
   such information.

   There already exists structured and detailed formats for describing
   these types of information that can be used in facilitating such an
   exchange.  They include [CAPEC][CCE][CCSS][CEE][CPE]
   [CVE][CVRF][CVSS][CWE][CWSS][MAEC][OCIL][OVAL][SCAP][XCCDF].  By
   embedding them into the IODEF document, the document can convey more
   detailed context information to the receivers, and the document can
   be easily reused.

   The use of structured information formats facilitates more advanced
   security operations on the receiver side.  Since the information is
   machine readable, the data can be processed by computers thus
   allowing better automation of security operations.

   For instance, an organization wishing to report a security incident
   wants to describe what vulnerability was exploited.  In this case the
   sender can simply use IODEF, where an XML-based [XML1.0] attack
   pattern record that follows the syntax and vocabulary defined by an
   industry specification is embedded, instead of describing everything
   in free form text.  The receiver can identify the needed details of
   the attack pattern by looking up some of the XML tags defined by the
   specification.  The receiver can accumulate the attack pattern record
   in its database and could distribute it to the interested parties as
   needed, all without requiring human interventions.

   In another example, an administrator is investigating an incident and
   detected a configuration problem that he wishes to share with a
   partner organization to prevent the same event from occurring.  He
   accesses configuration information in an internal repository that was
   gathered prior to the initial attack specific to a new vulnerability
   alert to confirm the configuration was in fact vulnerable.  He uses
   this information to automatically generate an XML-based software
   configuration description, embed it in an IODEF document, and send
   the resulting IODEF document to the partner organization.

4.  Extension Definition

   This document extends IODEF to embed structured information by
   introducing new classes that can be embedded consistently inside an
   IODEF document as element contents of the AdditionalData and
   RecordItem classes.

4.1.  IANA Table for Structured Cybersecurity Information

   This extension embeds structured cybersecurity information defined by
   other specifications.  The list of supported specifications is
   managed by IANA, and this document defines the needed fields for the
   list's entry.

   Each entry has namespace [XMLNames], specification name, version,
   reference URI, and applicable classes for each specification.
   Arbitrary URIs that may help readers to understand the specification
   could be embedded inside the Reference URI field, but it is
   recommended that standard/informational URI describing the
   specification is prepared and is embedded here.

   The initial IANA table has only one entry, as below.


     Namespace:          urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:mile:mmdef:1.2
     Specification Name: Malware Metadata Exchange Format
     Version:            1.2
     Reference URI:      http://standards.ieee.org/develop
                         /indconn/icsg/mmdef.html,
                         http://grouper.ieee.org/groups
                         /malware/malwg/Schema1.2/
     Applicable Classes: AttackPattern


   Note that the specification was developed by The Institute of
   Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Incorporated (IEEE), through
   the Industry Connections Security Group (ICSG) of its Standards
   Association.

   The table is to be managed by IANA following the allocation policy
   specified in Section 7.

   The SpecID attributes of extension classes (Section 4.5) must allow
   the values of the specifications' namespace fields, but otherwise,
   implementations are not required to support all specifications of the
   IANA table and may choose which specifications to support, though the
   specification listed in the initial table needs to be minimally
   supported, as described in Section 5.  In case an implementation

   received a data it does not support, it may expand its functionality
   by looking up the IANA table or notify the sender of its inability to
   parse the data.  Note that the look-up could be done manually or
   automatically, but automatic download of data from IANA's website is
   not recommended since it is not designed for mass retrieval of data
   by multiple devices.

4.2.  Extended Data Type: XMLDATA

   This extension inherits all of the data types defined in the IODEF
   data model.  One data type is added: XMLDATA.  An embedded XML data
   is represented by the XMLDATA data type.  This type is defined as the
   extension to the iodef:ExtensionType [RFC5070], whose dtype attribute
   is set to "xml".

4.3.  Extending IODEF

   This document defines eight extension classes, namely AttackPattern,
   Platform, Vulnerability, Scoring, Weakness, EventReport, Verification
   and Remediation.  Figure 1 describes the relationships between the
   IODEF Incident class [RFC5070] and the newly defined classes.  It is
   expressed in Unified Modeling Language (UML) syntax as with the RFC
   5070 [RFC5070].  The UML representation is for illustrative purposes
   only; elements are specified in XML as defined in Section 5.2.

Internet-Draft                  IODEF-SCI                       Jan 2014


   +---------------------+
   | New Class Name      |
   +---------------------+
   | ENUM SpecID         |<>--(0..*)-[ RawData ]
   | STRING ext-SpecID   |<>--(0..*)-[ Reference ]
   | STRING ContentID    |
   +---------------------+

                         Figure 2: Basic Structure

   Three attributes are defined as below.

   SpecID:  REQUIRED.  ENUM.  A specification's identifier that
      specifies the format of a structured information.  The value
      should be chosen from the namespaces [XMLNames] listed in the IANA
      table (Section 4.1) or "private".  The value "private" is prepared
      for conveying structured information based on a format that is not
      listed in the table.  This is usually used for conveying data
      formatted according to an organization's private schema.  When the
      value "private" is used, ext-SpecID element MUST be used.

   ext-SpecID:  OPTIONAL.  STRING.  A specification's identifier that
      specifies the format of a structured information.  This is usually
      used to support private schema that is not listed in the IANA
      table (Section 4.1).  This attribute MUST be used only when the
      value of SpecID element is "private."

   ContentID:  OPTIONAL.  STRING.  An identifier of a structured
      information.  Depending on the extension classes, the content of
      the structured information differs.  This attribute enables IODEF
      documents to covey the identifier of a structured information
      instead of conveying the information itself.

   Likewise, three elements are defined as below.

   RawData:  Zero or more.  XMLDATA.  An XML of a structured
      information.  This is a complete document that is formatted
      according to the specification and its version identified by the
      SpecID/ext-SpecID.  When this element is used, writers/senders
      MUST ensure that the namespace specified by SpecID/ext-SpecID and
      the schema of the XML are consistent; if not, the namespace
      identified by SpecID SHOULD be preferred, and the inconsistency
      SHOULD be logged so a human can correct the problem.

   Reference:  Zero or more of iodef:Reference [RFC5070].  A reference
      to a structured information.  This element allows an IODEF
      document to include a link to a structured information instead of
      directly embedding it into a RawData element.

Internet-Draft                  IODEF-SCI                       Jan 2014


   Though ContentID, RawData, and Reference are optional attribute and
   elements, one of them MUST be used to convey structured information.
   Note that only one of them SHOULD be used to avoid confusing the
   receiver.

4.5.  Defining Extension Classes

   This document defines the following seven extension classes.

4.5.1.  AttackPattern

   An AttackPattern is an extension class to the
   Incident.Method.AdditionalData element with a dtype of "xml".  It
   describes attack patterns of incidents or events.  It is RECOMMENDED
   that Method class contain the extension elements whenever available.
   An AttackPattern class is structured as follows.


   +---------------------+
   | AttackPattern       |
   +---------------------+
   | ENUM SpecID         |<>--(0..*)-[ RawData ]
   | STRING ext-SpecID   |<>--(0..*)-[ Reference ]
   | STRING ContentID    |<>--(0..*)-[ Platform ]
   +---------------------+


                       Figure 3: AttackPattern class

   This class has the following attributes.

   SpecID:  REQUIRED.  ENUM.  See Section 4.4.

   ext-SpecID:  OPTIONAL.  STRING.  See Section 4.4.

   ContentID:  OPTIONAL.  STRING.  An identifier of an attack pattern
      information.  See Section 4.4.

   Likewise, this class has the following elements.

   RawData:  Zero or more.  XMLDATA.  An XML of an attack pattern
      information.  See Section 4.4.

   Reference:  Zero or more.  A reference to an attack pattern
      information.  See Section 4.4.

Internet-Draft                  IODEF-SCI                       Jan 2014


   Platform:  Zero or more.  An identifier of software platform involved
      in the specific attack pattern.  See Section 4.5.2.

4.5.2.  Platform

   A Platform is an extension class that identifies a software platform.
   It is RECOMMENDED that AttackPattern, Vulnerability, Weakness, and
   System classes contain the extension elements whenever available.  A
   Platform element is structured as follows.


   +---------------------+
   | Platform            |
   +---------------------+
   | ENUM SpecID         |<>--(0..*)-[ RawData ]
   | STRING ext-SpecID   |<>--(0..*)-[ Reference ]
   | STRING ContentID    |
   +---------------------+


                         Figure 4: Platform class

   This class has the following attributes.

   SpecID:  REQUIRED.  ENUM.  See Section 4.4.

   ext-SpecID:  OPTIONAL.  STRING.  See Section 4.4.

   ContentID:  OPTIONAL.  STRING.  An identifier of a platform
      information.  See Section 4.4.

   Likewise, this class has the following elements.

   RawData:  Zero or more.  XMLDATA.  An XML of a platform information.
      See Section 4.4.

   Reference:  Zero or more.  A reference to a platform information.
      See Section 4.4.

4.5.3.  Vulnerability

   A Vulnerability is an extension class to the

6.  Security Considerations

   This document specifies a format for encoding a particular class of
   security incidents appropriate for exchange across organizations.  As
   merely a data representation, it does not directly introduce security
   issues.  However, it is guaranteed that parties exchanging instances
   of this specification will have certain concerns.  For this reason,
   the underlying message format and transport protocol used MUST ensure
   the appropriate degree of confidentiality, integrity, and
   authenticity for the specific environment.  Specific security
   considerations are detailed in the messaging and transport documents,
   where the exchange of formatted information is automated.  See Real-
   time Inter-network Defense (RID) [RFC6545] Section 9 for a detailed
   overview of security requirements and considerations.

   It is RECOMMENDED that organizations who exchange data using this
   document develop operating procedures that minimally consider the
   following areas of concern.

6.1.  Transport-Specific Concerns

   The underlying messaging format, IODEF, provides data markers to
   indicate the sensitivity level of specific classes within the
   structure as well as for the entire XML document.  The "restriction"
   attribute accomplishes this with four attribute values in IODEF.
   These values are RECOMMENDED for use at the application level, prior
   to transport, to protect data as appropriate.  A standard mechanism
   to apply XML encryption using these attribute values as triggers is
   defined in RID [RFC6545] Section 9.1.  This mechanism may be used
   whether or not the RID and RID Transport binding [RFC6546] are used
   in the exchange to provide object level security on the data to
   prevent possible intermediary systems or middle-boxes from having



Takahashi, et al.         Expires July 18, 2014                [Page 22]


Internet-Draft                  IODEF-SCI                       Jan 2014


   access to the data being exchanged.  In areas where transmission
   security or secrecy is questionable, the application of a XML digital
   signature [xmldsig] and/or encryption on each report will counteract
   both of these concerns.  The data markers are RECOMMENDED for use by
   applications for managing access controls, however access controls
   and management of those controls are out-of-scope for this document.
   Options such as the usage of a standard language (e.g.  XACML
   [XACML]) for the expression of authorization policies can be used to
   enable source and destination systems to better coordinate and align
   their respective policy expressions.

   Any transport protocol used to exchange instances of IODEF documents
   MUST provide appropriate guarantees of confidentiality, integrity,
   and authenticity.  The use of a standardized security protocol is
   encouraged.  The RID protocol [RFC6545] and its associated transport
   binding [RFC6546] provide such security with options for mutual
   authentication session encryption and include application levels
   concerns such as policy and work flow.

   The critical security concerns are that these structured information
   may be falsified, accessed by unintended entities, or they may become
   corrupt during transit.  We expect that each exchanging organization
   will determine the need, and mechanism, for transport protection.

6.2.  Protection of Sensitive and Private Information

   For a complete review of privacy considerations when transporting
   incident related information, please see RID [RFC6545] Section 9.5.
   Whether or not the RID protocol is used, the privacy considerations
   are important to consider as incident information is often sensitive
   and may contain privacy related information about individuals/
   organizations or endpoints involved.  Often times, organizations will
   require legal review and formal polices to be established which
   outline specific details of what information can be exchanged with
   specific entities.  Typically, identifying information is anonymized
   where possible and appropriate.  In some cases, information brokers
   are used to further anonymize the source of exchanged information so
   that other entities are unaware of the origin of a detected threat,
   whether or not that threat was realized.

   It is RECOMMENDED that policies and procedures for the exchange of
   cybersecurity information are established prior to participation in
   data exchanges.  Policy and workflow procedures for the exchange of
   cybersecurity information often require executive level approvals and
   legal reviews to appropriately establish limits on what information
   can be exchanged with specific organizations.  RID [RFC6545] Section
   9.6 outlines options and considerations for application developers to
   consider for the policy and workflow design.

6.3.  Application and Server Security

   The Cybersecurity Information extension is merely a data format.
   Applications and transport protocols that store or exchange IODEF
   documents using information that can be represented through this
   extension will be a target for attacks.  It is RECOMMENDED that
   systems and applications storing or exchanging this information are
   properly secured, have minimal services enabled, maintain access
   controls and monitoring procedures.


7.  IANA Considerations

   This document uses URNs to describe XML namespaces and XML schemata
   [XMLschemaPart1] [XMLschemaPart2] conforming to a registry mechanism
   described in [RFC3688].

   Registration request for the IODEF structured cybersecurity
   information extension namespace:

      URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:iodef-sci-1.0

      Registrant Contact: Refer here to the authors' addresses section
      of the document.

      XML: None.

   Registration request for the IODEF structured cybersecurity
   information extension XML schema:

      URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:iodef-sci-1.0

      Registrant Contact: Refer here to the authors' addresses section
      of the document.

      XML: Refer here to the XML Schema in Section 5.2.

   This memo creates the following registry for IANA to manage:

      Name of the registry: "Structured Cybersecurity Information (SCI)
      specifications"

      Name of its parent registry: "Incident Object Description Exchange
      Format (IODEF)"

      URL address of the registry: http://www.iana.org/assignments/iodef

Internet-Draft                  IODEF-SCI                       Jan 2014


      Namespace details: A registry entry for a Structured Cybersecurity
      Information Specification (SCI specification) consists of:

         Namespace: A URI [RFC3986] that identifies the XML namespace
         used by the registered SCI specification.  In the case where
         the registrant does not request a particular URI, the IANA will
         assign it a Uniform Resource Name (URN) that follows RFC 3553
         [RFC3553]

         Specification Name: A string containing the spelled-out name of
         the SCI specification in human-readable form.

         Reference URI: A list of one or more of the URIs [RFC3986] from
         which the registered specification can be obtained.  The
         registered specification MUST be readily and publicly available
         from that URI.

         Applicable Classes: A list of one or more of the extension
         classes specified in Section 4.5 of this document.  The
         registered SCI specification MUST only be used with the
         extension classes in the registry entry.

      Information that must be provided to assign a new value: The above
      list of information.

      Fields to record in the registry: Namespace/Specification Name/
      Version/Reference URI/Applicable Classes.  Note that it is not
      necessary to include defining reference for all assignments in
      this new registry.

      Initial registry contents: only one entry with the following
      values.

         Namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:mile:mmdef:1.0

         Specification Name: Malware Metadata Exchange Format

         Version: 1.2

         Reference URI: http://standards.ieee.org/develop/indconn/icsg/
         mmdef.html,http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/malware/malwg/
         Schema1.2/

         Applicable Classes: AttackPattern

      Allocation Policy: Specification Required (which includes Expert
      Review) [RFC5226].

   The Designated Expert is expected to consult with the mile (Managed
   Incident Lightweight Exchange) working group or its successor if any
   such WG exists (e.g., via email to the working group's mailing list).
   The Designated Expert is expected to retrieve the SCI specification
   from the provided URI in order to check the public availability of
   the specification and verify the correctness of the URI.  An
   important responsibility of the Designated Expert is to ensure that
   the registered Applicable Classes are appropriate for the registered
   SCI specification.
