SSF: Shared Signals Framework

The goal of the Shared Signals Working Group is to enable the sharing of security events, state changes, and other signals between related and/or dependent systems in order to:

• Manage access to resources and enforce access control restrictions across distributed services operating in a dynamic environment.
• Prevent malicious actors from leveraging compromises of accounts, devices, services, endpoints, or other principals or resources to gain unauthorized access to additional systems or resources.
• Enable users, administrators, and service providers to coordinate in order to detect and respond to incidents.

Current Development Drafts

The current drafts of the specifications under development are kept here:

Development

To change the spec, update one of the xml files and then run make as follows:

Assume you changed the file foo.md. To generate the foo.html file, you would run make foo.html

Similarly, to update the text file, you would run make foo.txt

Pay attention to errors generating the files and warnings about the document date. You should update the date to today's date.

In order to run make you need to:

1. install xml2rfc which can be done via pip: pip install xml2rfc
2. install kramdown-rfc which can be done via Ruby gems: gem install kramdown-rfc

Note The HTML and TXT files will not be uploaded to the repository. Running make only ensures that changes you made are not breaking the generation of the specifications output.
