Ivan,
In addition, having it as a separate object helps in the ability to relate it to other things (at least that is how we use it)
Paul
Yup, it’s just the number, along with some data that you can glean from the RIR [1]. The primary impetus for having it as a separate Object was for cases where you may want to share information about malicious AS’s without additional context. If we feel
that this isn’t a likelihood (or useful), I’m fine with excluding it and implementing it as a number in the Network Connection.
Regards,
Ivan
What would be in the AS object?
AS is a number with a defined enum, why do we need an object to communicate a number? Should STIX copy data from APNIC and RIPE...., why would we...

Going through the “green-field” list again (BTW Rich Piazza added a column highlighting the relative complexity of each Object via its number of UML classes/enums), I think it might be reasonable to also include the following objects:
* AS - well understood and likely to be used in the updated Network Connection Object (source/destination ASN). * x509 Certificate - well understood and supported via the x509 to CybOX utility [1]
