<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe ultimate goal of the IDMEFv2 Task Force is to publish one or more IETF RFCs about IDMEFv2. The process of standardization is long and complex. It’s also very unsure as hopefully not all proposition are accepted. Not all RFCs are equivalent, depending on the maturity of the standards described: proposed standards, drafts standards RFCs , internet standards RFCs ,informational RFCs, experimental RFCs, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Obviously, IDMEFv2 is a very new format, it is still experimented, it needs to be more experimented. IDMEFv2 propose a solution to upcoming problems with convergence of cybersecurity and physical security. So out goal is not to define a final Internet Standards but to document a detailed format so people can use it, improve it and maybe one day end up with a real internet standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although IETF working groups have been working on IDMEFv1, IODEF (Incident Object Definition Exchange Format) V1 and more recently V2, most of the standards defined by IETF are protocols. IDMEF is definitely a format and the transport is not very important and can be of multiple type (HTTP, Kafka, AMQP, etc.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2020 an official Charter (which aimed a cyber format with inclusion of IoT) has been sent to IETF. At the same date we started collaboration with the 7Shield project an its cyber and physical needs. The decision was taken at the time to consolidate a first draft of a cyber-physical incident format then to go back to IETF to start standardization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This time has come, V01 draft should be ready pretty soon (T2 2023)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The rest of this page details the way IETF works to prepare the next step of our work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>IETF : Internet Engineering Task Force<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is a large open community of network designers, operators, vendors, and researchers who are dedicated to the evolution and smooth operation of the Internet. It is an international organization that develops and promotes Internet standards, protocols, and procedures through a consensus-driven process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The IETF’s mission is to make the Internet work better by producing high-quality, relevant technical documents that influence the way people design, use, and manage the Internet. The IETF has a number of working groups that focus on specific technical areas such as routing, security, and applications, as well as cross-cutting areas such as architecture and management. These working groups develop Internet standards and protocols through an open, collaborative process that involves input and feedback from experts and stakeholders around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The IETF has been in existence since 1986 and has played a critical role in the development of the Internet as we know it today. Its contributions include the development of key Internet protocols such as TCP\/IP, HTTP, and SMTP, as well as many other standards and guidelines that are widely used by network designers, operators, and users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
