I would support having both SPDX and CycloneDX. Both have proven viable in my testing. 

 

Thanks,

Ok.  Should I add something for CycloneDX?

I concur with Chris. I’ve heard reports of people trying to use SWID to communicate SBOM information and they are having to make some “brave” assumptions in the process.  SPDX and CycloneDX seem  to be the only viable SBOM formats, based on my testing experience with both formats. 

 

There remain several issues on naming and identification conventions. A lot of the challenges I’ve experienced could be addressed if NIST NVD and NTIA SBOM parties could reach an agreement on how names/identifiers will be represented in their respective domains. It would only require a few elements to be agreed to, like Publisher name, Product name and Version identifier to make an impactful improvement in vulnerability search results, using SBOM data as inputs. 

 

Thanks,

Eliot,

 

I joined the IETF WG, and I have some feedback....

 

<image002.png>

A "SWID tag" isn't an SBOM format, as stated here. It is an element inside of an SBOM.

Since we have removed SWID as a format we in the "NTIA SBOM WG are supporting for SBOM use, shouldn't this reference be removed from the IETF draft as well?

 

 

Also, I still think that creating a Bluetooth Low Energy SBOM Adopted Profile (via the Bluetooth SIG) that is harmonized with this would be a good thing:

<image003.png>

 

Due the the low bandwidth of BLE we wouldn't attempt to provide the SBOM via BLE, just the link to a URI that can deliver the SBOM.

It would create a standardized UUID (16 bit) for the SBOM Adopted Profile, and have a consistent set of characteristics being exposed via BLE.

This is exactly how an Adopted Profile is supposed to be defined and utilized.

FYI- this is your opportunity to contribute to the IETF.  If you think sharing of SBOMs is important, this is a starting point for the IETF to begin work on that aspect, not an end point.  Please feel free to contribute by joining the opsawg IETF list at https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/opsawg.

Dear OPSAWG members,

this starts a call for Working Group Adoption on https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-lear-opsawg-sbom-access-00 ending on Monday, January 25.

As a reminder, this I-D describes different ways to acquire Software Bills of Material (SBOM) about distinguishable managed entities. The work was updated by the authors on October 13th and now elaborates on three ways SBOM can be found, including a MUD URI as one of the options.

Please reply with your support and especially any substantive comments you may have.


For the OPSAWG co-chairs,

Henk
