Comment Period Closes: ?
Affects Backwards Compatibility: No
Relevant Issues: https://github.com/CybOXProject/schemas/issues/237
This proposal concerns the File Object and its ability to accurately characterize files that have been encrypted and/or compressed. The File Object currently does not have fields to represent encryption or compression, hence the purpose for this proposal.
The File Object will be expanded with the following fields:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Encryption_Algorithm | he Encryption_Algorithm field specifies the algorithm used to encrypt the file. |
| Encryption_Key | The Encryption_Key field specifies the key used to encrypt the file. |
| Compression_Method | The Compression_Method field specifies the method used to compress the file. |
| Compression_Version | The Compression_Version field specifies the version of the compression method used to compress the file. |
| Compression_Comment | The Compression_Comment field specifies the comment string associated with the compressed file. |
No other datatypes are effected by this change and there are no foreseen backwards compatibility issues.
- Do these additional fields and their annotations make sense?
- Are there any other fields that should be added for complete characterization of encryption and compression?
