Title: Concise Software Identification Tags Author: H. Birkholz, J. Fitzgerald-McKay, C. Schmidt, D. Waltermire Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: June 2023 Mailbox: henk.birkh...@sit.fraunhofer.de, jmfi...@cyber.nsa.gov, cmschm...@mitre.org, david.walterm...@nist.gov Pages: 61 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-sacm-coswid-24.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc9393 DOI: 10.17487/RFC9393 ISO/IEC 19770-2:2015 Software Identification (SWID) tags provide an extensible XML-based structure to identify and describe individual software components, patches, and installation bundles. SWID tag representations can be too large for devices with network and storage constraints. This document defines a concise representation of SWID tags: Concise SWID (CoSWID) tags. CoSWID supports a set of semantics and features that are similar to those for SWID tags, as well as new semantics that allow CoSWIDs to describe additional types of information, all in a more memory-efficient format. This document is a product of the Security Automation and Continuous Monitoring Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Official Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the standardization state and status of this protocol.
