Technical Summary
 
Network security incidents, such as system compromises, worms, viruses,
phishing incidents, and denial of service, typically result in the loss of
service, data, and resources both human and system.  To support
collaborative responses to such incidents, network providers and
Computer Security Incident Response Teams need tools and procedures
to support communications and tracing of security incidents.  This
document series includes draft-moriraty-post-inch-rid and
draft-moriarty-post-inch-rid-transport.

RFC 5070, "The Incident Object Description Exchange Format" (IODEF,
defines a common XML format for document exchange, and 
draft-moriarty-post-inch "Realtime Internetwork Defense" (RID) defines
extensions to IODEF intended for the cooperative handling of security
incidents within consortia of network operators and enterprises.
This document outlines the transport of IODEF and RID messages over
 HTTP/TLS.
