Purpose statement : Open Command and Control (OpenC2) is a concise and extensible language to enable the command and control of cyber defense components, subsystems and/or systems in a manner that is agnostic of the underlying products, technologies, transport mechanisms or other aspects of the implementation. Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Pub/Sub (i.e., publish / subscribe) is an asynchronous communication method that enables messages to be exchanged without knowing the identity of the sender or recipient. This document describes the use of GCP Pub/Sub as a transfer mechanism for OpenC2 messages, and captures experience and lessons learned from utilizing GCP Pub/Sub at the January 2020 OpenC2 Plug Fest. The information contained within this document can be applied when using the GCP Pub/Sub implementation for conveying OpenC2 command and response messages, and may also be useful with other publish / subscribe protocol implementations.
