Subject: Language Spec Comment: Serializing Binary values as Hex
OpenC2 Technical Committee, Please consider the following change to the OpenC2 Language Specification PROPOSED CHANGE: ·
Within Section 3.1.5 “Serialization”, define a Hex representation of Binary values in accordance with Section 8 of RFC 4648, “The Base16, Base32, and Base64 Data Encodings”,
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4648 ·
Within Section 3.4 “Type Definitions”, specify that the following types use Hex representation:
o
MAC-Addr
o
Request-Id
o
Hashes (md5, sha1, sha256) JUSTIFICATION: Although the TC is chartered to develop “unambiguous machine to machine command and control messages”, there is interest within the TC in making messages readable by humans when serialized using the current JSON format. Using Hex representation
for some Binary values addresses the desire for human readability. |
