Incident Object Description Exchange Format Usage Guidance
draft-ietf-mile-iodef-guidance-11
Abstract
The Incident Object Description Exchange Format (IODEF) v2 (RFC7970)
defines a data representation that provides a framework for sharing
information about computer security incidents commonly exchanged by
Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs) . Since the IODEF
model includes a wealth of available options that can be used to
describe a security incident or issue, it can be challenging for
security practitioners to develop tools that leverage IODEF for
incident sharing. This document provides guidelines for IODEF
implementers. It addresses how common security indicators can be
represented in IODEF and use-cases of how IODEF is being used. This
document aims to make IODEF's adoption by vendors easier and
encourage faster and wider adoption of the model by CSIRTs around the
world.

1. Introduction
The Incident Object Description Exchange Format (IODEF) v2 [RFC7970]
defines a data representation that provides a framework for sharing
computer security incident information commonly exchanged by Computer
Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs). The IODEF data model
Kampanakis & Suzuki Expires March 11, 2018 [Page 2]
Internet-Draft IODEF Guidance September 2017
consists of multiple classes and data types that are defined in the
IODEF XML schema.
The IODEF schema was designed to describe all the possible fields
needed in a security incident exchange. Thus, IODEF contains a
plethora of data constructs which could make it hard for IODEF
implementers to decide which are important. Additionally, in the
IODEF schema, there exist multiple fields and classes which do not
necessarily need to be used in every possible data exchange.
Moreover, some IODEF classes are useful only in rare circumstances.
This document tries to address these concerns. It also presents how
common security indicators can be represented in IODEF. It points
out the most important IODEF classes for an implementer and describes
other ones that are not as important. Also, it presents some common
pitfalls for IODEF implementers and how to address them. The end
goal of this document is to make IODEF's use by vendors easier and
encourage wider adoption of the model by CSIRTs around the world.
Section 3 discusses the recommended classes and how an IODEF
implementer should choose the classes to implement. Section 4
presents common considerations a practitioner will come across and
how to address them. Section 5 goes over some common uses of IODEF.
2. Terminology
The terminology used in this document follows the one defined in
[RFC7970] and [RFC7203].
3. Implementation and Use Strategy
It is important for IODEF implementers to distinguish how the IODEF
classes will be used in incident information exchanges. It is also
important to understand the most common IODEF classes that describe
common security incidents or indicators. This section describes the
most important classes and factors an IODEF practitioner should take
into consideration before using IODEF or designing an implementation.
3.1. Minimal IODEF document
An IODEF document must include at least an Incident class, an
xml:lang attribute that defines the supported language and the IODEF
version attribute. An Incident must contain a purpose attribute and
three mandatory-to-implement elements. These elements are Generation
time class that describes the time of the incident, an IncidentID
class and at least one Contact class. The structure of the minimal
IODEF-Document is shown in Figure 1.
Kampanakis & Suzuki Expires March 11, 2018 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft IODEF Guidance September 2017
+---------------+ +--------------+
|IODEF-Document | | Incident |
+---------------+ +--------------+ +----------------+
|STRING version |<>--{1..*}--| ENUM purpose |<>----------| IncidentID |
|ENUM xml:lang | | | +----------------+
| | | | | STRING name |
+---------------+ | | +----------------+
| |
| |<>----------[ GenerationTime ]
| |
| | +----------------+
| |<>--{1..*}--[ Contact |
+--------------+ +----------------+
| ENUM role |
| ENUM type |
+----------------+
Figure 1: Minimal IODEF-Document class
The IncidentID class must contain at least a name attribute.
In turn, the Contact class requires the type and role attributes, but
no elements are required by the IODEF v2 specification.
Nevertheless, at least one of the elements in the Contact class, such
as an Email class, should be implemented so that the IODEF document
is useful.
Section 7.1 of [RFC7970] presents a minimal IODEF document with only
the mandatory classes and attributes. Implementers can also refer to
Section 7 of [RFC7970] and Appendix B for example IODEF v2 documents.
3.2. Information represented
There is no need for a practitioner to use or implement IODEF classes
and fields other than the minimal ones (Section 3.1) and the ones
necessary for her use-cases. The implementer should carefully look
into the schema and decide which classes to implement (or not).
For example, if we have Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) as a
potential use-case, then the Flow class and its included information
are the most important classes to use. The Flow class describes
information related to the attacker and victim hosts, which
information could help automated filtering or sink-hole operations.
Another potential use-case is malware command and control (c2).
After modern malware infects a device, it usually proceeds to connect
to one or more c2 servers to receive instructions from its master and
potentially exfiltrate information. To protect against such
Kampanakis & Suzuki Expires March 11, 2018 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft IODEF Guidance September 2017
activity, it is important to interrupt the c2 communication by
filtering the activity. IODEF can describe c2 activities using the
Flow and the ServiceName classes.
For use-cases where indicators need to be described, the
IndicatorData class will be implemented instead of the EventData
class.
In summary, an implementer should identify her use-cases and find the
classes that are necessary to support in IODEF v2. Implementing and
parsing all IODEF classes can be cumbersome in some occasions and
unnecessary. Other external schemata can also be used in IODEF to
describe incidents or indicators. External schemata should be parsed
accordingly only if the implementer's IODEF use-cases require
external schema information. But even when an IODEF implementation
cannot parse an external schema, the IODEF report can still be
valuable to an incident response team. The information can also be
useful when shared further with content consumers able to parse this
information.
IODEF supports multiple language translations of free-form, ML_STRING
text in all classes [RFC7970]. That way, text in Description
elements can be translated to different languages by using a
translation identifier in the class. Implementers should be able to
parse iodef:MLStringType classes and extract only the information
relevant to languages of interest.
3.3. IODEF Classes
[RFC7970] contains classes that can describe attack Methods, Events,
Incidents, Indicators, how they were discovered and the Assessment of
the repercussions for the victim. It is important for IODEF users to
know the distinction between these classes in order to decide which
ones fulfill their use-cases.
An IndicatorData class depicts a threat indicator or observable that
could be used to describe a threat that resulted in an attempted
attack. For example, we could see an attack happening but it might
have been prevented and not have resulted in an incident or security
event. On the other hand, an EventData class usually describes a
security event and can be considered as a report of something that
took place.
Classes like Discovery, Assessment, Method, and RecoveryTime are used
in conjunction with EventData as they related to the incident report
described in the EventData. The RelatedActivity class can reference
an incident, an indicator or other related threat activity.
Kampanakis & Suzuki Expires March 11, 2018 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft IODEF Guidance September 2017
While deciding what classes are important for the needed use-cases,
IODEF users should carefully evaluate the necessary classes and how
these are used in order to avoid unnecessary work. For example, if
we want to only describe indicators in IODEF, the implementation of
Method or Assessment might not be important.
4. IODEF usage considerations
Implementers need to consider some common, standardized options for
their IODEF use strategy.
4.1. External References
The IODEF format includes the Reference class used for externally
defined information such as a vulnerability, Intrusion Detection
System (IDS) alert, malware sample, advisory, or attack technique.
To facilitate the exchange of information, the Reference class was
extended to the Enumeration Reference Format [RFC7495]. The
Enumeration Reference Format specifies a means to use external
enumeration specifications (e.g. CVE) that could define an
enumeration format, specific enumeration values, or both. As
external enumerations can vary greatly, implementers should only
support the ones expected to describe their specific use-cases.
4.2. Extensions
The IODEF data model ([RFC7970]) is extensible. Many attributes with
enumerated values can be extended using the "ext-*" prefix.
Additional classes can also be defined by using the AdditionalData
and RecordItem classes. An extension to the AdditionalData class for
reporting Phishing emails is defined in [RFC5901]. Information about
extending IODEF class attributes and enumerated values can be found
in Section 5 of [RFC7970].
Additionally, IODEF can import existing schemata by using an
extension framework defined in [RFC7203]. The framework enables
IODEF users to embed XML data inside an IODEF document using external
schemata or structures defined by external specifications. Examples
include CVE, CVRF and OVAL. [RFC7203] enhances the IODEF
capabilities without further extending the data model.
IODEF implementers should not use their own IODEF extensions unless
data cannot be represented using existing standards or importing them
in an IODEF document using [RFC7203] is not a suitable option.
Kampanakis & Suzuki Expires March 11, 2018 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft IODEF Guidance September 2017
4.3. Indicator predicate logic
An IODEF [RFC7970] document can describe incident reports and
indicators. The Indicator class can include references to other
indicators, observables and more classes that contain details about
the indicator. When describing security indicators, it is often
common to need to group them together in order to form a group of
indicators that constitute a security threat. For example, a botnet
might have multiple command and control servers. For that reason,
IODEF v2 introduced the IndicatorExpression class that is used to add
the indicator predicate logic when grouping more than one indicators
or observables.
Implementations must be able to parse and apply the Boolean logic
offered by an IndicatorExpression in order to evaluate the existence
of an indicator. As explained in Section 3.29.5 of [RFC7970] the
IndicatorExpression element operator defines the operator applied to
all the child element of the IndicatorExpression. If no operator is
defined "and" should be assumed. IndicatorExpressions can also be
nested together. Child IndicatorExpressions should be treated as
child elements of their parent and they should be evaluated first
before evaluated with the operator of their parent.
Users can refer to Appendix A for example uses of the
IndicatorExpressions in an IODEF v2.
4.4. Disclosure level
Access to information in IODEF documents should be tightly locked
since the content may be confidential. IODEF has a common attribute,
called "restriction", which indicates the disclosure guideline to
which the sender expects the recipient to adhere to for the
information represented in the class and its children. That way, the
sender can express the level of disclosure for each component of an
IODEF document. Appropriate external measures could be implemented
based on the restriction level. One example is when Real-time Inter-
network Defense (RID) [RFC6545] is used to transfer the IODEF
documents, it can provide policy guidelines for handling IODEF
documents by using the RIDPolicy class.
The enforcement of the disclosure guidelines is out of scope for
IODEF. The recipient of the IODEF document needs to follow the
guidelines, but these guidelines themselves do not provide any
enforcement measures. For that purpose, implementers should consider
appropriate privacy control measures, technical or operational for
their implementation.

5. IODEF Uses
IODEF is currently used by various organizations in order to
represent security incidents and share incident and threat
information between security operations organizations.
5.1. Implementations
In order to use IODEF, tools like IODEF parsers are necessary.
[RFC8134] describes a set of IODEF implementations and uses by
various vendors and Computer Emergency Readiness Team (CERT)
organizations. The document does not specify any specific mandatory
to implement (MTI) IODEF classes but provides a list of real world
uses. Perl and Python modules (XML::IODEF, Iodef::Pb, iodeflib) are
some examples. Moreover, implementers are encouraged to refer to
Section 7 of [RFC8134] practical IODEF usage guidelines.
[implementations], on the other hand, includes various vendor
incident reporting products that can consume and export in IODEF
format.
5.2. Inter-vendor and Service Provider Exercise
As an interoperability exercise, in 2013 a limited number of vendors
organized and executed threat indicators exchanges in IODEF. The
transport protocol used was RID. The threat information shared
included indicators from DDoS attacks; and Malware incidents and
Spear-Phishing that targets specific individuals after harvesting
information about them. The results served as proof-of-concept (PoC)
about how seemingly competing entities could use IODEF to exchange
sanitized security information. As this was a PoC exercise only
example information (no real threats) were shared as part of the
exchanges.

Figure 2: PoC peering topology
Kampanakis & Suzuki Expires March 11, 2018 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft IODEF Guidance September 2017
Figure 2 shows how RID interactions took place during the PoC.
Participating organizations were running RID Agent software on-
premises. The RID Agents formed peering relationships with other
participating organizations. When Entity X had a new incident to
exchange it would package it in IODEF and send it to Entity Y over
TLS in a RID Report message. In case there was an issue with the
message, Entity Y would send an RID Acknowledgement message back to
Entity X which included an application level message to describe the
issue. Interoperability between RID agents implementing [RFC6545]
and [RFC6546] was also confirmed.
The first use-case included sharing of Malware Data Related to an
Incident between CSIRTs. After Entity X detected an incident, she
would put data about malware found during the incident in a backend
system. Entity X then decided to share the incident information with
Entity Y about the malware discovered. This could be a human
decision or part of an automated process.
Below are the steps followed for the malware information exchange
that was taking place:
(1) Entity X has a sharing agreement with Entity Y, and has already
been configured with the IP address of Entity Y's RID Agent.
(2) Entity X's RID Agent connects to Entity Y's RID Agent, and
mutual authentication occurs using PKI digital certificates.
(3) Entity X pushes out a RID Report message which contains
information about N pieces of discovered malware. IODEF is used
in RID to describe the
(a) Hash of malware files
(b) Registry settings changed by the malware
(c) C&C Information for the malware
(4) Entity Y receives RID Report message, sends RID Acknowledgement
message
(5) Entity Y stores the data in a format that makes it possible for
the back end to know which source the data came from.
Another use-case was sharing a DDoS attack as explained in the
following scenario: Entity X, a Critical Infrastructure and Key
Resource (CIKR) company detects that their internet connection is
saturated with an abnormal amount of traffic. Further investigation
determines that this is an actual DDoS attack. Entity X's CSIT
Kampanakis & Suzuki Expires March 11, 2018 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft IODEF Guidance September 2017
contacts their ISP, Entity Y, and shares information with them about
the attack traffic characteristics. Entity X's ISP is being
overwhelmed by the amount of traffic, so it shares attack signatures
and IP addresses of the most prolific hosts with its adjacent ISPs.
Below are the steps followed for a DDoS information exchange:
(1) Entity X has a sharing agreement with Entity Y, and has already
been configured with the IP address of Entity Y's RID Agent.
(2) Entity X's RID Agent connects to Entity Y's RID Agent, and
mutual authentication occurs using PKI digital certificates.
(3) Entity X pushes out a RID Report message which contains
information about the DDoS attack. IODEF is used in RID to
describe the
(a) Start and Detect dates and times
(b) IP Addresses of nodes sending DDoS Traffic
(c) Sharing and Use Restrictions
(d) Traffic characteristics (protocols and ports)
(e) HTTP User-Agents used
(f) IP Addresses of C&C for a botnet
(4) Entity Y receives RID Report message, sends RID Acknowledgement
message
(5) Entity Y stores the data in a format that makes it possible for
the back end to know which source the data came from.
(6) Entity Y shares information with other ISP Entities it has an
established relationship with.
One more use-case was sharing spear-phishing email information as
explained in the following scenario: The board members of several
defense contractors receive a targeted email inviting them to attend
a conference in San Francisco. The board members are asked to
provide their personally identifiable information such as their home
address, phone number, corporate email, etc in an attached document
which came with the email. The board members are also asked to click
on a URL which would allow them to reach the sign up page for the
conference. One of the recipients believes the email to be a
phishing attempt and forwards the email to their corporate CSIRT for
Kampanakis & Suzuki Expires March 11, 2018 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft IODEF Guidance September 2017
analysis. The CSIRT identifies the email as an attempted spear
phishing incident and distributes the indicators to their sharing
partners.
Below are the steps followed for a spear-phishing information
exchange between CSIRTs that was part of this PoC.
(1) Entity X has a sharing agreement with Entity Y, and has already
been configured with the IP address of Entity Y's RID Agent.
(2) Entity X's RID Agent connects to Entity Y's RID Agent, and
mutual authentication occurs using PKI digital certificates.
(3) Entity X pushes out a RID Report message which contains
information about the spear-phishing email. IODEF is used in
RID to describe the
(a) Attachment details (file Name, hash, size, malware family
(b) Target description (IP, domain, NSLookup)
(c) Email information (From, Subject, header information, date/
time, digital signature)
(d) Confidence Score
(4) Entity Y receives RID Report message, sends RID Acknowledgement
message
(5) Entity Y stores the data in a format that makes it possible for
the back end to know which source the data came from.
Appendix B includes some of the incident IODEF example information
that was exchanged by the organizations' RID Agents as part of this
proof-of-concept.
5.3. Use-cases
Other use-cases of IODEF, other than the ones described above, could
be:
(1) ISP notifying a national CERT or organization when it identifies
and acts upon an incident and CERTs notifying ISPs when they are
aware of incidents.
(2) Suspected phishing emails could be shared amongst organizations
and national agencies. Automation could validate web content
that the suspicious emails are pointing to. Identified
Kampanakis & Suzuki Expires March 11, 2018 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft IODEF Guidance September 2017
malicious content linked in a phishing email could then be
shared using IODEF. Phishing campaigns could thus be subverted
much faster by automating information sharing using IODEF.
(3) When finding a certificate that should be revoked, a third-party
would forward an automated IODEF message to the CA with the full
context of the certificate and the CA could act accordingly
after checking its validity. Alternatively, in the event of a
compromise of the private key of a certificate, a third-party
could alert the certificate owner about the compromise using
IODEF.
6. IANA Considerations
This memo does not require any IANA actions.
7. Security Considerations
This document does not incur any new security issues, since it only
talks about the usage of IODEFv2 defined RFC7970. Nevertheless,
readers of this document should refer to the Security Considerations
section of [RFC7970].

Similarly, the FileData Class can be an observable in an
IndicatorExpression. The hash values of two files can be used to
match against an indicator using Boolean "or" logic. In the
following example the indicator consists of either of the two files
with two different hashes.
