IODEF

Incident Object Description and Exchange FormatThe purpose of the Incident Object Description and Exchange Format is to define a common data format for describing and exchanging incident information between collaborating Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs). The specific goals and requirements of the IODEF are described inRFC 3067. One of the design principles in the IODEF is compatibility with theIntrusion Detection Message Exchange Format(IDMEF) developed for intrusion detection systems. For this reason, IODEF is heavily based on the IDMEF and provides upward compatibility with it.
