We are continuing to work on this and I am very interested in developing standards in this area. I am currently working on developing an open source prototype that can be used to evaluate standardized approaches to this problem. I haven't published the latest code on this yet, but the original work we started can be found at: http://code.google.com/p/security-automation-content-repository/ The companion presentation to Kent's from March can be found here: http://scap.nist.gov/events/2011/saddsp/presentations/Security_Automation_Content_Repository_Demo.pdf Dave From: scap_interest-bounces@ietf.org [mailto:scap_interest-bounces@ietf.org] On Behalf Of Kent_Landfield@McAfee.com Sent: Thursday, February 16, 2012 1:46 PM To: lnunez@c3isecurity.com; amontville@tripwire.com Cc: scap_interest@ietf.org Subject: Re: [scap_interest] Operational Aspects I see the topic of Content Repository interfaces as very important item that really should be worked here. We have been talking about this topic for over two years now as you both are aware. I am including the presentation that was given at SCAP Winter Developer Days last March that may help frame the issues.

Are there any operational concerns we might address within a WG should one be formed? For example, we have, in the United States, NVD hosting a repository of information. CCE identifiers are moderated and assigned by an operational process. As new enumerations are published and new types of content are conceived, it's easy to imagine the need for some operational standardization. Should we consider standardizing some of these processes, and if so would the WG we seek to establish be the appropriate place for that work? Regards, Adam W.
