Thanks, Tony.

What we’ll to make clear is how to know what to retrieve.  HTTP has a pretty good interface for that with media types, and you can match that with an Accepts: header, if one really wants to (my guess is that the tooling will want to take on the burden of implementing both, and the suppliers will just provide what they have, at least for a while.

I see more appsec products supporting CycloneDX while I see more software providers supporting SPDX. And then multiple other providers doing their own proprietary thing, either a variation of SPDX or something entirely new. Some SBOMs I see are nothing more than a software (not component) inventory as discovered on disk, or just a basic table with supplier, component, version.

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.
