1.  Introduction

   SWID tags have several use-applications including but not limited to:

   o  Software Inventory Management, a part of the Software Asset
      Management [SAM] process, which requires an accurate list of
      discernible deployed software instances.

   o  Vulnerability Assessment, which requires a semantic link between
      standardized vulnerability descriptions and IT-assets [X.1520].

   o  Remote Attestation, which requires a link between reference
      integrity measurements (RIM) and security logs of measured
      software components [I-D.birkholz-tuda].

   SWID tags, as defined in ISO-19770-2:2015 [SWID], provide a
   standardized format for a record that identifies and describes a
   specific release of a software product.  Different software products,
   and even different releases of a particular software product, each
   have a different SWID tag record associated with them.  In addition
   to defining the format of these records, ISO-19770-2:2015 defines
   requirements concerning the SWID tag lifecycle.  Specifically, when a
   software product is installed on an endpoint, that product's SWID tag

Birkholz, et al.         Expires August 20, 2017                [Page 2]
Internet-Draft                   COSWID                    February 2017

   is also installed.  Likewise, when the product is uninstalled or
   replaced, the SWID tag is deleted or replaced, as appropriate.  As a
   result, ISO-19770-2:2015 describes a system wherein there is a
   correspondence between the set of installed software products on an
   endpoint, and the presence on that endpoint of the SWID tags
   corresponding to those products.

   SWID tags are meant to be flexible and able to express a broad set of
   metadata about a software product.  Moreover, there are multiple
   types of SWID tags, each providing different types of information.
   For example, a "corpus tag" is used to describe an application's
   installation image on an installation media, while a "patch tag" is
   meant to describe a patch that modifies some other application.
   While there are very few required fields in SWID tags, there are many
   optional fields that support different uses of these different types
   of tags.  While a SWID tag that consisted only of required fields
   could be a few hundred bytes in size, a tag containing many of the
   optional fields could be many orders of magnitude larger.

   This document defines a more concise representation of SWID tags in
   the Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) [RFC7049].  This is
   described via the CBOR Data Definition Language (CDDL)
   [I-D.greevenbosch-appsawg-cbor-cddl].  The resulting Concise SWID
   data definition is interoperable with the XML schema definition of
   ISO-19770-2:2015 [SWID].  The vocabulary, i.e., the CDDL names of the
   types and members used in the Concise SWID data definition, is mapped
   to more concise labels represented as small integers.  The names used
   in the CDDL and the mapping to the CBOR representation using integer
   labels is based on the vocabulary of the XML attribute and element
   names defined in ISO-19770-2:2015.

   Real-world instances of SWID tags can be fairly large, and the
   communication of SWID tags in use-applications such as those
   described earlier can cause a large amount of data to be transported.
   This can be larger than acceptable for constrained devices and
   networks.  Concise SWID tags significantly reduce the amount of data
   transported as compared to a typical SWID tag.  This reduction is
   enable through the use of CBOR, which maps human-readable labels of
   that content to more concise integer labels (indices).  This allows
   SWID tags to be part of an enterprise security solution for a wider
   range of endpoints and environments.

1.1.  Requirements notation

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC
   2119, BCP 14 [RFC2119].

2.  Concise SWID CDDL specification

   The following is a CDDL representation of the ISO-19770-2:2015 [SWID]
   XML schema definition of SWID tags.  This representation includes all
   SWID tag fields and thus supports all SWID tag use cases.  The
   CamelCase notation used in the XML schema definition is changed to
   hyphen-separated notation (e.g.  ResourceCollection is named
   resource-collection in the COSWID CDDL specification).  The human-
   readable names of members are mapped to integer indices via a block
   of rules at the bottom of the CDDL specification.  The 66 character
   strings of the SWID vocabulary that would have to be stored or
   transported in full if using the original vocabulary are replaced.

   Concise Software Identifiers are tailored to be used in the domain of
   constrained-node networks.  A typical endpoint is capable of storing
   the CoSWID tag of installed software, a constrained-node might lack
   that capability.  CoSWID address these constraints and the
   corresponding specification is augmented to retain their usefulness
   in the thing-2-thing domain.  Specific examples include, but are not
   limited to limiting the scope of hash algorithms to the IANA Named
   Information tables or including firmware attributes addressing
   devices that do not necessarily provide a file-system to store a
   CoSWID tag in.

3.  Encoding hashes for Concise SWID tags

   Concise SWID add explicit support for the representation of file-
   hashes using algorithms that are registered at the Named Information
   Hash Algorithm Registry via the file-hash item (label 56).  The
   number used as a value for hash-alg-id refers the ID in the Named
   Information Hash Algorithm table.

4.  CoSWID used as Reference Integrity Measurements (CoSWID RIM)

   A vendor supplied signed CoSWID tag that includes hash-values for the
   files that compose a software component can be used as a RIM
   (reference integrity measurement).  A RIM is a type of declarative
   guidance that can be used to assert the compliance of an endpoint by
   assessing the installed software.  In the context of remote
   attestation based on an attestation via a hardware security module
   (hardware rooted trust), a verifier can appraise the integrity of the
   conveyed measurements of software components using a CoSWID RIM
   provided by a source, such as
   [I-D.banghart-sacm-rolie-softwaredescriptor].

5.  Firmware SWID tags

   The metadata defined in [RFC4108] is incorporated in the resource-
   collection structure that semantically differentiates content stored
   in a Concise Software Identifier.  The optional attributes that
   annoate a firmware package addresse specific characteristics of
   pieces of firmware stored directly on a block-device in contrast to
   software deployed in a file-system.  Trees of relative path-elements
   expressed by the directory and file structure in CoSWID tags are
   typically unable to represent the location of a firmware on a
   constrained-node (small thing).  The composite nature of firmware and
   also the actual composition of small things require a set of
   attributes to identify the correct component in a composite thing for
   each individual piece of firmware.  A single component also
   potentially requires a number of distinct firmware parts that might

Birkholz, et al.         Expires August 20, 2017                [Page 9]
Internet-Draft                   COSWID                    February 2017

   depend on each other(s version).  These dependencies can be limited
   to the scope of the component itself or extend to the scope of a
   small composite device.  In addition, it might not be possible (or
   feasible) to store a CoSWID tag document (permanently) on a small
   thing along with the corresponding piece of firmware.  Hence, CoSWID
   tags can be used as a concise and flexible metadata document that
   functions as a wrapper containing a (potentially compressed, signed,
   and/or encrypted) piece of firmware and its corresponding CoSWID
   attributes.  A CoSWID tag about firmware can be transmitted as an
   identifying document across endpoints or used as an reference
   integrity measurement as usual.  Alternatively, it can also convey an
   actual piece of firmware, serve its intended purpose as a SWID tag
   and then - due to the lack of a location to store it - be discarded.

6.  COSE signatures for Concise SWID tags

   SWID tags, as defined in the ISO-19770-2:2015 XML schema, can include
   cryptographic signatures to protect the integrity of the SWID tag.
   In general, tags are signed by the tag creator (typically, although
   not exclusively, the vendor of the software product that the SWID tag
   identifies).  Cryptographic signatures can make any modification of
   the tag detectable, which is especially important if the integrity of
   the tag is important, such as when the tag is providing golden
   measurements for files.

   The ISO-19770-2:2015 XML schema uses XML DSIG to support
   cryptographic signatures.  Concise SWID tags require a different
   signature scheme than this.  COSE (CBOR Encoded Message Syntax)
   provides the required mechanism [I-D.ietf-cose-msg].  Concise SWID
   can be wrapped in a COSE Single Signer Data Object (cose-sign1) that
   contains a single signature.  The following CDDL defines a more
   restrictive subset of header attributes allowed by COSE tailored to
   suit the requirements of Concise SWID.

]
<CODE ENDS>

7.  CBOR Web Token for Concise SWID tags

   A typical requirement regarding specific instantiations of endpoints
   - and, as a result, specific instantiations of software components -
   is a representation of the absolute path of a CoSWID tag document in
   a file system in order to derive absolute paths of files represented
   in the corresponding CoSWID tag.  The absolute path of an evidence
   CoSWID tag can be included as a claim in the header of a CBOR Web
   Token [I-D.ietf-ace-cbor-web-token].  Depending on the source of the
   token, the claim can be in the protected or unprotected header
   portion.

9.  Security Considerations

   SWID tags contain public information about software products and, as
   such, do not need to be protected against disclosure on an endpoint.
   Similarly, SWID tags are intended to be easily discoverable by
   applications and users on an endpoint in order to make it easy to
   identify and collect all of an endpoint's SWID tags.  As such, any
   security considerations regarding SWID tags focus on the application
   of SWID tags to address security challenges, and the possible
   disclosure of the results of those applications.

   A signed SWID tag whose signature is intact can be relied upon to be
   unchanged since it was signed.  If the SWID tag was created by the
   software author, this generally means that it has undergone no change
   since the software application with which the tag is associated was
   installed.  By implication, this means that the signed tag reflects
   the software author's understanding of the details of that software
   product.  This can be useful assurance when the information in the
   tag needs to be trusted, such as when the tag is being used to convey
   golden measurements.  By contrast, the data contained in unsigned
   tags cannot be trusted to be unmodified.

   SWID tags are designed to be easily added and removed from an
   endpoint along with the installation or removal of software products.
   On endpoints where addition or removal of software products is
   tightly controlled, the addition or removal of SWID tags can be
   similarly controlled.  On more open systems, where many users can
   manage the software inventory, SWID tags may be easier to add or
   remove.  On such systems, it may be possible to add or remove SWID
   tags in a way that does not reflect the actual presence or absence of
   corresponding software products.  Similarly, not all software
   products automatically install SWID tags, so products may be present
   on an endpoint without providing a corresponding SWID tag.  As such,
   any collection of SWID tags cannot automatically be assumed to
   represent either a complete or fully accurate representation of the
   software inventory of the endpoint.  However, especially on devices
   that more strictly control the ability to add or remove applications,
   SWID tags are an easy way to provide an preliminary understanding of
   that endpoint's software inventory.

   Any report of an endpoint's SWID tag collection provides information
   about the software inventory of that endpoint.  If such a report is
   exposed to an attacker, this can tell them which software products
   and versions thereof are present on the endpoint.  By examining this
   list, the attacker might learn of the presence of applications that
   are vulnerable to certain types of attacks.  As noted earlier, SWID

Birkholz, et al.         Expires August 20, 2017               [Page 12]
Internet-Draft                   COSWID                    February 2017

   tags are designed to be easily discoverable by an endpoint, but this
   does not present a significant risk since an attacker would already
   need to have access to the endpoint to view that information.
   However, when the endpoint transmits its software inventory to
   another party, or that inventory is stored on a server for later
   analysis, this can potentially expose this information to attackers
   who do not yet have access to the endpoint.  As such, it is important
   to protect the confidentiality of SWID tag information that has been
   collected from an endpoint, not because those tags individually
   contain sensitive information, but because the collection of SWID
   tags and their association with an endpoint reveals information about
   that endpoint's attack surface.

   Finally, both the ISO-19770-2:2015 XML schema definition and the
   Concise SWID data definition allow for the construction of "infinite"
   SWID tags or SWID tags that contain malicious content with the intend
   if creating non-deterministic states during validation or processing
   of SWID tags.  While software product vendors are unlikely to do
   this, SWID tags can be created by any party and the SWID tags
   collected from an endpoint could contain a mixture of vendor and non-
   vendor created tags.  For this reason, tools that consume SWID tags
   ought to treat the tag contents as potentially malicious and should
   employ input sanitizing on the tags they ingest.

11.  Change Log

   Changes from version 00 to version 01:

   o  Added CWT usage for absolute SWID paths on a device

   o  Fixed cardinality of type-choices including arrays

   o  Included first iteration of firmware resource-collection

   Changes since adopted as a WG I-D -00:

   o  Removed redundant any-attributes originating from the ISO-
      19770-2:2015 XML schema definition

   o  Fixed broken multi-map members

   o  Introduced a more restrictive item (any-element-map) to represent
      custom maps, increased restriction on types for the any-attribute,
      accordingly

   o  Fixed X.1520 reference

   o  Minor type changes of some attributes (e.g.  NMTOKENS)

   o  Added semantic differentiation of various name types (e,g. fs-
      name)

   Changes from version 00 to version 01:

   o  Ambiguity between evidence and payload eliminated by introducing
      explicit members (while still allowing for "empty" swid tags)

   o  Added a relatively restrictive COSE envelope using cose_sign1 to
      define signed coswids (single signer only, at the moment)

   o  Added a defintion how to encode hashes that can be stored in the
      any-member using existing IANA tables to reference hash-algorithms

   First version -00
