Abstract:

This is Part 1 of the Interoperability test document to supplement the five-part Structured Threat Information Expression (STIX™) 2.0 specification developed by the Cyber Threat Intelligence Technical Committee (CTI TC) of the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS). The is the first in a series that will be developed concurrent with revisions to the STIX specification. This test document provides detailed requirements on how producers of products within the threat intelligence ecosystem may demonstrate conformity with STIX 2.0 if they wish to self-certify that their software is verified as interoperable.

There are six personas detailed in Part 1 of this specification.  These are:  Data Feed Provider (DFP), Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP), Threat Mitigation System (TMS), Threat Detection System (TDS), Security Incident and Event Management (SIEM), and Threat Intelligence Sink (TIS).

This Interoperability test document defines tests of the following test cases: indicator sharing, sighting sharing, versioning, data markings, custom objects and properties, and course of action sharing. For each of these test cases the document details the Producer support and the Respondent support to be used for the test cases.

Status:

This is a Non-Standards Track Work Product. The patent provisions of the OASIS IPR Policy do not apply.

This document was last revised or approved by the OASIS Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) TC on the above date. The level of approval is also listed above. Check the "Latest version" location noted above for possible later revisions of this document.

1 Introduction

This document details Part 1 of the Structured Threat Information Expression (STIX™) 2.0 Interoperability Test Documents. It defines a set of test cases that software products, categorized by persona, must implement to achieve STIXPreferred self-certification. The STIXPreferred certification uses the term persona throughout the test cases to represent a category of similar product capabilities in a security ecosystem. See Section 1.3.2 for a full list of all persona used.  To claim STIXPreferred certification, implementations of one or more personas must adhere to expected behaviors and outcomes as detailed in the test cases.

 

This document, Part 1, is the first in a series of documents designed to be modular, i.e. new documents will be created as additional test cases are developed. Subsequent documents will be created and numbered Part 2, Part 3, ...etc. Each test document will describe what personas and test cases are covered in that specific document version.

 

The OASIS Cyber Threat Intelligence Technical Committee (CTI TC) recommends users of this test document become familiar with the STIX 2.0 Core Concepts, and STIX 2.0 Objects, and other supporting specifications (as given in the Related Work section above) prior to implementing the test cases in this document. An organization must submit the results for their specific tests to the OASIS CTI TC Interoperability Subcommittee to achieve confirmation of interoperability and to be listed on the OASIS website page showing the organization’s compliance to STIX 2.0. Further submittal instructions are found in Section 3 Persona Checklists.

 

NOTE: The STIX™ & TAXII™ specifications contain normative references to other specifications with which an implementation may need to reference and meet in order to comply with these specifications. This document assumes that such requirements are also met.

1.1 IPR Policy

This specification is provided under the Non-Assertion Mode of the OASIS IPR Policy, the mode chosen when the Technical Committee was established. For information on whether any patents have been disclosed that may be essential to implementing this specification, and any offers of patent licensing terms, please refer to the Intellectual Property Rights section of the TC’s web page (https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/cti/ipr.php).

1.2 Terminology

Security Infrastructure - Any software or hardware instance that provides a function in the support of securing networks and systems

Security Personnel - Any human being that is performing a security function within an organization including threat analysis; security operations; network operations, etc.

Producer - A software instance that creates STIX 2.0 content to share with other systems.

Respondent - A software instance that reads STIX 2.0 content and performs some action on that received data.

1.3 Overview

The approach that is being taken within the CTI TC is to rely primarily on well-defined, common test cases to drive the demonstration of interoperability between products using STIX 2.0 and the Trusted Automated Exchange for Indicator Information (TAXII) version 2.0, also under development within the CTI TC.  Section 2 of this document outlines these common test cases for organizations seeking to develop and demonstrate interoperability. 

 

These test cases will enable personas (defined herein) of the cyber threat intelligence information sharing community to build and test information sharing files that are compliant with STIX 2.0 best practices.

1.3.1 Statement on OPTIONAL Properties as defined in STIX™ 2.0

Note that this document includes tests that mandate the presence of OPTIONAL STIX 2.0 object properties. These occurrences can be found in required producer persona support, as well as test cases. In these situations, producers must produce data containing these OPTIONAL properties in order to demonstrate interoperability compliance as defined in this document. Correspondingly, a respondent must properly process these OPTIONAL properties to demonstrate interoperability. 

1.3.2 Personas

The STIXPreferred personas shown in Figure 1 are used throughout this document. 

 

Figure 1 - STIXPreferred Persona

 

     Data Feed Provider (DFP)

     Software instance that acts as a producer of STIX 2.0 content.

     Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP)

     Software instance that acts as a Producer and/or Respondent of STIX 2.0 content primarily used to aggregate, refine and share intelligence with other machines or security personnel operating other security infrastructure.

     Security Incident and Event Management system (SIEM)

     Software instance that acts as a producer and/or Respondent of STIX 2.0 content. A SIEM aggregates events, incidents and indicators and may produce STIX content based on that security operations tasks associated with those activities. A SIEM that consumes STIX content will typically consume sightings and/or indicators.

     Threat Mitigation System (TMS)

     Software instance such as a firewall or Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) software, etc. that acts on courses of action and other threat mitigations.

     Threat Detection System (TDS)

     Software instance such as Intrusion Detection System (IDS), Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) software, web proxy, etc. that monitors, detects and alerts.

     Threat Intelligence Sink (TIS)

     Software instance that consumes STIX 2.0 content in order to perform translations to domain specific formats consumable by enforcement and/or detection systems that do not natively support STIX 2.0. These consumers may or may not have the capability of reporting sightings. A TIS will typically consume intelligence identified in the STIX content but will not produce any STIX content itself.

 

For an organization to receive OASIS STIXPreferred self-certification, the software instances must adhere to persona behavior and prescribed bundle contents as detailed in the Required Producer Persona/Profile Support section of each test case.

 

For documenting self-certification for each persona tested, refer to the checklist and test requirements in Section 3 Persona Checklist of this document.

2 Test Case Details

The following Part 1 test cases are broken down into a common set of test cases for each of the defined persona. There are also a set of defined optional test cases for those persona that may choose to verify additional capabilities.

 

The following test cases are defined in this document.

The following sections provide details on these test cases. 

2.1 Common Test Case Requirements

All test data must comply with the following set of additional requirements.

 

1.       Identities Created

a.       All tests require the creation of an identity for the created_by_ref property across all tests.

b.       The Identity created should represent the organization that is responsible for the software instance under test.

c.       The following properties should be filled in:

                                                         i.            type with value ‘identity’

                                                       ii.            name with a value that represents the organization’s name

                                                     iii.            identity_class with value ‘organization’

                                                     iv.            id with a unique UUID

                                                       v.            Example:

 

“type": "identity",
"name": "ACME Corp, Inc.",
"identity_class": "organization",
"id": "identity--f431f809-377b-45e0-aa1c-6a4751cae5ff"

2.       x_interop_test use

a.       Throughout this test document this property is used to convey a human-readable reference to the Interoperability document that defines the required test content.

b.       Although this is a best practice to provide descriptive terms for all intelligence produced, it is not mandatory for any producer to generate and consume data that includes this property.

2.2 Indicator Sharing

One of the most common test cases that has emerged within enterprises tracking threat intelligence globally and/or within Information Sharing and Analysis Centers (ISACs) and Information Sharing and Analysis Organizations (ISAOs) has been the sharing of Indicators (sometimes referred to as Indicators of Compromise or IOCs) using a threat intelligence platform (TIP) that integrates one or multiple Data Feed Providers (DFPs). 

 

Indicators and other STIX data objects (SDOs), as defined in the STIX 2.0 Specification, may be shared via proprietary feeds, open source feeds and/or through a sharing community.  The TIP is used to aggregate and process the data and then map it to the STIX 2.0 data model.  Some TIPs also provide for data enrichment, analysis and indexing, visualization and bi-directional IOC sharing with other security products through application programming interfaces (APIs).  The Respondents of the SDOs include both the personas documented in this Committee Note for machine readable threat intelligence (MRTI) and human analysts including, but not limited to: threat intelligence analysts, fraud and risk analysts, malware analysts, and network and endpoint guardians, among others. This high-level view is useful for illustrating how a test case (in this case, sharing of Indicator objects) and a persona will work together within this Committee Note for the purpose of interoperability demonstration.

 

The following sections provide more detailed descriptions of how a STIX 2.0 Indicator object may be used for the purpose of demonstrating interoperability.  

2.2.1 Description

A STIX 2.0 Indicator defines a pattern of STIX Cyber Observable values of interest (e.g. suspicious or malicious). . There are several common characteristics of data specified in test cases that will be verified. The TIP producer persona, shown on Figure 3 operated by the “Analyst”, has identified one or more Indicators that indicate malicious content on the Internet. That content may be an entity of interest to consider for monitoring activity. Also shown is how a TIP processes a STIX Bundle, and it illustrates how the information is published as a Bundle to a TMS, which then issues a response.

 

Figure 3 - An analyst shares an indicator

2.2.2 Required Producer Persona Support

The Producer persona must be able to create a STIX Bundle with one or more indicators such as IP Address v4; IP Address v6 for all Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) variations, and options.

 

Table 2 - Producer Object Bundling Details

Personas

Behavior

DFP; TIP

1.       Producer allows a user to select or specify the IP Address associated with Actor A and identify that Actor A’s IP address as an IOC to share to a Respondent persona.

2.       The following data must be verified in the STIX bundle produced by the persona:

 

a)       A bundle object must conform to mandatory attributes within the bundle object including 'type'; 'id'; 'spec_version' and 'objects' where

                                i)            id has a globally unique identifier

                               ii)            spec_version is '2.0'

                             iii)            Within the objects array

1)      at least one Identity for the organization of the Producer

2)      at least one Indicator with the IP Address identified in the pattern parameter

b)      The Identity object must conform to mandatory attributes within the identity object spec including 'type'; 'name'; 'identity_class' and 'id' where

                                i)            type is 'identity'

                               ii)            id has a globally unique identifier

                             iii)            identity_class is specified by the organization of the Producer

                             iv)            name is the name that the Producer wishes to associate with the identity object

c)       The Indicator object must conform to mandatory attributes including 'type'; 'id'; 'created_by_ref'; 'created'; 'modified'; 'pattern'' where

                                i)            created_by_ref must point to the identity of the Producer;

                               ii)            created and modified must match the timestamp to millisecond granularity of when the user selected the Actor’s IP address to be an IOC

d)      The pattern attribute captures the various required fields that must be supported by the Producer as defined in <ref 2.2.2.1>

 

2.2.3 Producer Test Case Data

The following subsections provide the test case data for the test. Verify for all test cases that the objects defined in each test are produced either in a single bundle or across multiple bundles.

2.2.4 Required Respondent Support

The Respondent must be able to parse and display any Indicator that has been shared with IP Address information.

Table 3 - Respondent Object Bundling Details

Persona

Behavior

TIP

1.       TIP allows a user to receive a STIX bundle with an

a.       Identity and Indicator with the various required field pattern content

b.       Identity of the Producer

c.       Indicator with various required fields information contained in it

2.       Once received the TIP is able to display to the user the source of the Indicator based on the identity's attribute 'name' and the identity_class attribute

3.       For each Indicator, the TIP is able to verify that the created_by_ref maps to an existing identity or one contained within the bundle received

4.       For each Indicator object, the TIP is able to display that the indicator fields contained in the pattern represents an IOC.

TMS; TDS; TIS

1.       Respondent allows the reception of a STIX bundle with a(n)

a.       Bundle with an identity, and Indicator with content

b.       Identity of the Producer

c.       Indicator with the content information contained in it

2.       Once received the Respondent is able to verify the source of the Indicator based on the identity's attribute 'name' and the identity_class attribute and determines that is an allowed source of intelligence to act upon

3.       For each Indicator, the Respondent is able to verify that the created date represents an Indicator that has not been previously applied to its network monitoring function and may update its rules to match on that Indicator content

4.       For each Indicator object, the Respondent is able to capture network information (packets or counts or flows) that the FileHash; IP; FQDN; URL contained in the pattern matched against.

5.       Specifically, for the TMS persona, the TMS is able to block traffic based on the Indicator pattern matched within a packet sequence.

SIEM

1.       SIEM allows the reception of a STIX Bundle with a(n)

a.       Bundle with an Identity and Indicator with the content

b.       Identity of the Producer

c.       Indicator with the content information contained in it

2.       Once received the SIEM is able to verify the source of the indicator based on the Identity's attribute 'name' and the identity_class attribute, and determines that it is an allowed source of intelligence to act upon

3.       For each Indicator, the SIEM is able to verify that the created date represents an indicator that has not been previously applied to its event correlation and display functions, and updates its rules (if any) to match on that indicator content

4.       For each Indicator object, the SIEM is able to display and/or alert upon other relevant security information it has from other event log sources (firewalls, sensors). The SIEM is able to show the overlap of previously logged indicators and incoming indicator information including FileHash, IP, FQDN, and URL. The SIEM may generate sightings based on the indicators.

 

2.2.5 Respondent Test Case Data

This test case is primarily testing the production of an Indicator and a Respondent's ability to parse and represent and act on the Indicator data correctly. No other data is sent from the Respondent back to the Producer.

2.3 Sighting Sharing

Another important scenario that will provide for crowdsourcing in the context of a sharing community is the use of a Sighting STIX Relationship Object (SRO).  This is a unique form of a relationship object that provides for the confirmation of a “sighting” of an Indicator SDO (as evidenced by specific Cyber Observable objects) by a third-party; that is, by an Identity separate from the original Producer of an Indicator SDO.  The full power of the use of trust communities within the ISAC and/or ISAO context cannot be realized without the use of this SRO.  Therefore, it is an important test case to demonstrate for STIX interoperability.

2.3.1 Description

A STIX 2.0 Sighting object is an SRO primarily used to capture documentation that some entity in the network has been seen by an intelligence source. The Producer persona, shown on Figure 4 as an “Analyst”, has selected one or more sightings observed by the supporting SIEM tool. Consequently, the SIEM publishes a STIX Sighting Bundle and publishes it for various receiving personas.

Figure 4 - An analyst reports a sighting

2.3.2 Required Producer Persona Support

The Producer persona must be able to create a STIX Bundle with one or more Indicators as identified by the Indicator Sharing Producer Test Case Data. All personas defined in Required Producer Persona Support are also defined for Sighting Producer personas.

2.3.3 Producer Test Case Data

Same as Indicator Sharing Producer Test Case Data.

2.3.4 Required Respondent Persona Support

The Respondent must be able to parse and display any Indicator that has been shared as well as create a Sighting associated with the Indicator.

 

Table 4 - Producer Object Bundling Details

Persona

Behavior

TIP; SIEM

1.       Respondent supports all Respondent required behavior for Indicator tests defined in Section 2.2.4.

2.       Respondent allows the user to create or select a Sighting object observed and associated with each Indicator pattern identified in the Producer's Bundle.

3.       Respondent in response allows user to send the Sighting information back to the Producer and supports creation of a bundle with

a.       its own identity unique and different from the Producer

b.       a reference to each Indicator shared from the Producer

c.       a Sighting object

d.       an Observed Data object

4.       The Sighting object must have

a.       created_by_ref must point to the identity of the Respondent;

b.       created and modified must match the timestamp to millisecond granularity of when the Sighting was created by the Respondent

c.       first_seen and last_seen must match when the observed data was first and last seen by the system reporting the observed data

d.       count must match the number of times that the Indicator was seen during the first and last seen values

e.       sighting_of_ref must match the Indicator sent by Producer

5.       The Observed Data object must have

a.       created_by_ref must point to the identity of the Respondent;

b.       created and modified must match the timestamp to millisecond granularity of when the observed-data was created by the system producing the observed-data

c.       first_observed and last_observed must match when the observed data was first and last seen by the system reporting the Observed Data

d.       number_observed must match the number of times that the Indicator was seen during the start and stop values

e.       objects must match an Indicator pattern defined by the Producer.

TMS

In addition to the verification steps shown in the above row for TIP; SIEM, the TMS SHALL provide evidence that it blocked the traffic identified by the patterns in the Indicator.

TDS

In addition to the verification steps shown in the above row for TIP; SIEM the TDS SHALL show or provide statistics on how many packets or sessions matched the Indicator content.

TIS

In addition to the verification steps shown in the above row for TIP; SIEM the TIS SHALL show or provide statistics on how many packets or sessions matched the Indicator content.

2.4 Versioning

As additional information is discovered about an SDO, the Producer of that object may version the original object using the versioning approach outlined in Part 1 of the STIX 2.0 Specification.  Other recipients of the SDO will also be updated through their various personas as the original SDO is versioned.  This feature of the STIX 2.0 Specification allows for SDOs to be updated as the context changes and the information becomes more complete, based on enrichments and further intelligence discovery. 

2.4.1 Description

A STIX 2.0 Producer or Respondent must support versioning of objects to support interoperability within STIX.

2.4.2 Required Producer Persona Creation Support

The Producer persona must be able to create a STIX Bundle with one or more objects with the appropriate date representing when the object was created for sharing.

 

The Producer persona has identified an STIX object that they wish to share to Respondents.

 

Figure 5 - An analyst creates a new STIX object

 

NOTE: Not all personas defined in this spec create Indicators.

2.       The following data must be verified in the STIX content produced by the persona:

a.       A bundle object must conform to mandatory attributes within the bundle object including 'type'; 'id'; 'spec_version' and 'objects' where

                                                         i.            id has a globally unique identifier

                                                       ii.            spec_version is '2.0'

                                                     iii.            Within the objects array, at least one;

1.       Identity for the organization of the Producer

2.       Indicator with the IP Address identified in the pattern parameter

b.       The identity object must conform to mandatory attributes within the identity object spec including 'type'; 'name'; 'identity_class' and 'id' where

                                                         i.            type is identity

                                                       ii.            id has a globally unique identifier

                                                     iii.            identity_class is specified by the organization of the Producer

                                                     iv.            name is the name that the Producer wishes to share associated with the Indicator

c.       The Indicator object must conform to mandatory attributes of Indicator including 'type'; 'id'; 'created_by_ref'; 'created'; 'modified'; 'pattern'' where

                                                         i.            created_by_ref must point to the Identity of the Producer;

                                                       ii.            created and modified must match the timestamp to millisecond granularity of when the user selected the IP address to be an IOC

All Sighting producer personas

1.       Producer allows a user to select or specify the STIX content to create and send to a Respondent persona.

2)      Sighting with the observed data for the indicator identified in the pattern parameter

b)      The Identity object must conform to mandatory attributes within the object spec including 'type'; 'name'; 'identity_class' and 'id' where

                                i)            type is Identity

                               ii)            id has a globally unique identifier

                             iii)            identity_class is specified by the organization of the Producer

2.4.4 Required Respondent Creation Support

The Respondent must be able to parse and display the creation and modification date of the objects received.

Table 6 - Respondent Object Bundling Details

Persona

Behavior

All Indicator Respondent Persona

1.       Respondent allows a user to receive a STIX Bundle with a(n)

a.       bundle with an identity and indicator with IP content

b.       identity of the producer

c.       indicator with IP address information contained in it

2.       Once received the Respondent is able to display to the user the Producers of the indicator based on the identity's attribute 'name' and the identity_class attribute

3.       For each Indicator, the Respondent is able to verify that the created_by_ref maps to an existing identity received or one contained within the bundle received

4.       For each Indicator, the Respondent may show the creation and modified dates for them.

 

2.4.5 Respondent Test Case Creation Data

This test case is primarily testing the production of an Indicator; its related version information and a Respondent's ability to parse and represent the data correctly. No other data is sent from the Respondent back to the Producer.

2.4.6 Required Producer Persona Modification Support

The Producer persona must be able to create a STIX Bundle with one or more objects with the appropriate date representing when the object was updated for sharing.

 

The Producer persona has identified a STIX object that they wish to update and re-share to Respondents.

2.4.13 Respondent Test Case Revocation Data

This test case is primarily testing the production of an Indicator or Sighting, its related version information, and a Respondent's ability to parse and represent the data correctly. No other data is sent from the Respondent back to the producer.

2.5 Data Markings

2.5.1 Description

A STIX 2.0 Producer or Respondent must support markings applied to objects and the related operations around them. The Data Markings test cases focus on how markings should be represented. How consumers mitigate markings and their related Indicator(s) is not prescribed in this specification. Data Markings can be produced at an object level and at an attribute level. Data Markings at the attribute level are known as granular markings.

 

This section describes basic tests for assigning Data Markings to shared data using the traffic light protocol (TLP). “TLP is a set of designations used to ensure that sensitive information is shared with the appropriate audience.”  It is defined by a Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST) Special Interest Group (SIG).  

 

Figure 8 - An analyst marks an indicator with a TLP designation

2.5.2 Required Producer Persona Support

For these test cases, STIX TLP data markings must be accompanied by at least one Indicator. The producer persona must be able to create a STIX bundle with one or more Indicators as identified by the Indicator Sharing  Producer Test Case Data. All personas defined in Indicator Sharing Required Producer Persona Support are also defined for Data Markings producer personas.

 

Producers should allow users to create marking-definitions and apply object level markings to an SDO or SRO at all TLP levels.

 

Table 11 - Producer Object Bundling Details

Persona

Behavior

DFP; TIP

1.       Producer allows a user or an administrator to apply object level markings to a variety of Indicators that are being shared.

2.       Producer may provide TLP object level markings at any level.

a.       Producer verifies that objects to be marked do exist in the bundle.

b.       Producer must NOT mark Indicator objects with more than one TLP level markings.

3.       The Producer creates the marking-definition object for the request:

a.       For different objects, the user can apply different TLP levels including: tlp “green”; tlp “amber”; tlp “red”; tlp “white”.

b.       The marking-definition must conform to its mandatory UUID references including:

                                                         i.            marking-definition--613f2e26-407d-48c7-9eca-b8e91df99dc9 if tlp “white”

                                                       ii.            marking-definition--34098fce-860f-48ae-8e50-ebd3cc5e41da if tlp “green”

                                                      iii.            marking-definition--f88d31f6-486f-44da-b317-01333bde0b82 if tlp “amber”

                                                      iv.            marking-definition--5e57c739-391a-4eb3-b6be-7d15ca92d5ed if tlp “red”

2.5.4 Required Respondent Support

The Respondent must be able to parse and display any Indicator that has been shared with IP Address information and data markings, if present. All required Respondent support defined in 2.2.4 Required Respondent Support also applies to Data Markings.

 

Table 12 - Respondent Object Bundling Details

 

Persona

Behavior

TIP; SIEM

1.       Respondent receives the STIX bundle with

a.       A Bundle the various required field pattern content as follows

                                                         i.            An Identity of the producer

                                                       ii.            An Indicator with various required fields

                                                     iii.            An Indicator with data markings applied

                                                     iv.            The Indicator’s   object_marking_refs, must be associated with a correct marking definition

                                                       v.            If the Indicator identifies a marking-definition object that does not exist, then the Respondent should reject the Indicator

2.       Once received the Respondent can display to the user the source of the Indicator based on the Identity's attribute 'name' and the identity_class attribute

3.       For each Indicator object the Respondent is able to verify that the created_by_ref maps to an existing Identity received or one contained within the bundle received

4.       For each set of objects, the Respondent must display or filter the objects based on the associated Data Markings applied to that object.  This ensures that the user accessing the set of objects has appropriate marking authorization for TLP green, TLP amber, TLP red and TLP white depending on the test case performed.

 

2.6 Custom Objects and Properties

2.6.1 Description

If an organization produces or consumes custom STIX objects or properties, the following tests verify that the capability is done correctly.

2.6.2 Required Producer Persona Support

The Producer persona must be able to create a STIX Bundle with one or more objects with the appropriate date representing when the object was created for sharing.

NOTE: Not all personas defined in this specification create Indicators.

2.6.4 Required Respondent Support

A Respondent receiving custom objects or properties must conform to the following tests.

Table 14 - Respondent Object Bundling Details

Persona

Behavior

All Respondent Personas that may receive custom objects

1.       Respondent receives a STIX Bundle with

a.       A Bundle with an Identity and custom object or custom properties on standard STIX object

2.       Once received the Respondent is able to display to the user the source of the Indicator based on the Identity's attribute 'name' and the identity_class attribute

3.       For each custom object, the Respondent must be able to determine that it is a custom object and not a SDO and can verify that the created_by_ref maps to an existing Identity received or one contained within the bundle received.

4.       Respondent must be able to ingest all other SDOs in the Bundle

5.       If the Respondent supports the custom object, then for each custom object, the Respondent may show the creation and modified dates for them. If the Respondent does not support the custom object, then the Respondent’s console should be able to continue servicing the user without crashing, and support remaining SDOs in the Bundle.

All Respondent Personas that may receive custom properties

1.       Respondent receives a STIX Bundle with

a.       an Identity and

b.       SDO with custom properties

2.       Once received the Respondent is able to display to the user the source of the SDO based on the identity's attribute 'name' and the identity_class attribute

3.       For each SDO the Respondent must be able to determine that it is a SDO and able to ingest/parse all mandatory fields.

4.       If the Respondent supports the custom property, then they may show or use the custom property included in the SDO.

5.       If the Respondent does not support the custom property, then the Respondent may discard or show to the user that the SDO has been rejected. The Respondent’s console should be able to continue servicing the user without crashing, and support remaining SDOs in the Bundle.

 

2.6.5 Respondent Test Case Data

This test case is primarily testing the production of custom objects, its related core property information, and a Respondent's ability to parse and ingest (not reject) all content that may be bundled with SDOs. No data is sent from the Respondent back to the Producer.

2.7 Course Of Action Sharing

2.7.1 Description

A Course of Action (COA) is a recommendation to respond to some form of threat. Typically, a COA would be created as a separate object that is then connected to other intelligence objects that, when detected, can be mitigated by the playbook sequencing called by the COA object.

However, the COA object in STIX 2.0 is a stub. It is included to support basic test cases (such as sharing prose courses of action) but, at this time, it does not support the ability to represent automated courses of action or contain properties to represent metadata about courses of action.

The COA SDO primarily focuses on a textual description of the mitigating action.

Figure 9 - Sharing Course Of Action

2.7.2 Required Producer Persona Support

The Producer must be able to populate the ‘name’ and ‘description’ with the textual information for the mitigating action to perform.

 

Table 15 - Producer Object Bundling Details

Personas

Behavior

All Course of Action producer personas

1.       Producer allows a user to select or specify the STIX content to send to a Respondent persona.

2.       The following data must be verified in the STIX produced by the persona:

 

a)       A Bundle object must conform to mandatory attributes within the Bundle object including:

                                i)            id has a globally unique identifier

                               ii)            spec_version is '2.0'

                             iii)            Within the objects array

1)      at least one identity for the organization of the Producer

2)      at least one course of action with the required fields populated

b)      The Identity object must conform to mandatory attributes within the Identity object spec including:

                                i)            type is 'identity'

                               ii)            id has a globally unique identifier

                             iii)            identity_class is specified by the organization of the Producer

                             iv)            name is the name that the Producer wishes to share

c)       The course-of-action object must conform to its mandatory attributes including 'type', 'id', and the following where

                                i)            created_by_ref must point to the identity of the Producer;

                               ii)            created and modified must match the timestamp to millisecond granularity of when the user created the object

                             iii)            name that assigns a title to the course-of-action

                             iv)            description that provides more details and context about the course-of-action, potentially including its purpose and its key characteristics.

2.7.4 Required Respondent Persona Support

The Respondent must be able to parse and display all COA Properties.

Table 16 - Respondent Object Bundling Details

Persona

Behavior

All Course of Action Respondent personas

1.       Respondent allows a user to receive a STIX Bundle with

a.       A Bundle with an Identity and course-of-action with various content

b.       An identity of the Producer

c.       One or more course-of-action with required fields information contained in it

2.       Once received, the Respondent is able to display to the user the source of the course-of-action based on the Identity's attribute 'name' and the identity_class attribute

3.       For each course-of-action, the Respondent must be able to verify that the created_by_ref maps to an existing Identity received or one contained within the Bundle received

4.       For each course-of-action object the Respondent is able to display the information from the course-of-action fields to the user.

3 Persona Checklist

The following checklists summarize all tests that a persona (Producer or Respondent) must conform to within that persona. An organization must submit the results for their specific persona(s) to the OASIS CTI TC Interoperability SC to achieve confirmation of interoperability and to be listed on the OASIS website page showing the organization’s compliance to STIX 2.0.

 

Results must be submitted to the STIX Interoperability sub-committee for verification.

 

Results may be submitted as separate logs; documents; screenshots; any other proof such that the reviewers can assess whether the organization has confirmed compliance to STIX 2.0 interoperability tests for their specific instance.

 

Instructions to organizations:

1)      Fill in the section relevant to your instance

2)      For each test, add a reference in the results column on what evidence documentation supports compliance results.

3)      Submit both the filled in section and all supporting documentation.

 

After review and verification of the demonstration submittal, the OASIS CTI TC Interoperability SC will post confirmation. Our listing will include the following:

 

1.       Name, address and contact information of the company performing the demonstration

2.       Name of the conforming product

3.       Summary of the references that substantiate interoperability conformance.

 

No independent testing will be performed directly by the Interoperability SC; rather the verification process will confirm that the documentation is complete and accurate as claimed by the submitting party. 

3.1 Data Feed Provider (DFP)

For the purpose of this document a DFP is a software instance that acts as a Producer of STIX 2.0 content.

 

Any instance being qualified as a DFP must confirm test results for the following test cases.

3.6 Threat Intelligence Sink (TIS)

For the purpose of this document, a (TIS) is a software instance that consumes STIX 2.0 content in order to perform translations to domain specific formats. Those translations are consumable by enforcement and/or detection systems that do not natively support STIX 2.0. These TIS consumers may or may not have the capability of reporting sightings. A (TIS) that consumes STIX content will typically consume indicators.

 

Any software instance being qualified as a (TIS) must confirm test results for the following test cases.
