Intrusion Detection Exchange Format (idwg) ------------------------------------------ Charter Last Modified: 2005-01-26 Current Status: Active Working Group Chair(s): Michael Erlinger Security Area Director(s): Russ Housley Sam Hartman Security Area Advisor: Sam Hartman Mailing Lists: General Discussion:idwg-l@hmc.edu To Subscribe: listkeeper@hmc.edu In Body: 'subscribe idwg-l' in the body Archive: http://www.izerv.net/idwg-public/ Description of Working Group: Security incidents are becoming more common and more serious, and intrusion detection systems are becoming of increasing commercial importance. Numerous intrusion detection systems are important in the market and different sites will select different vendors. Since incidents are often distributed over multiple sites, it is likely that different aspects of a single incident will be visible to different systems. Thus it would be advantageous for diverse intrusion detection systems to be able to share data on attacks in progress. The purpose of the Intrusion Detection Working Group is to define data formats and exchange procedures for sharing information of interest to intrusion detection and response systems, and to management systems which may need to interact with them. The Intrusion Detection Working Group will coordinate its efforts with other IETF Working Groups. The outputs of this working group will be: 1. A requirements document, which describes the high-level functional requirements for communication between intrusion detection systems and requirements for communication between intrusion detection systems and with management systems, including the rationale for those requirements. Scenarios will be used to illustrate the requirements. 2. A common intrusion language specification, which describes data formats that satisfy the requirements. 3. A framework document, which identifies existing protocols best used for communication between intrusion detection systems, and describes how the devised data formats relate to them. Goals and Milestones: Done Submit Requirements document as an Internet-Draft Done Submit Framework and Language documents as Internet-Drafts Done Submit Requirements document to IESG for consideration as an RFC.
