  • 1.  OpenC2 Architecture Specification v1.0 from OpenC2 TC approved as a Committee Specification

    OASIS Members and other interested parties,

    OASIS is pleased to announce that Open Command and Control (OpenC2)
    Architecture Specification Version 1.0 from the OASIS Open Command and
    Control (OpenC2) TC [1] has been approved as an OASIS Committee
    Specification.

    Cyberattacks are increasingly sophisticated, less expensive to execute,
    dynamic and automated. The provision of cyber defense via statically
    configured products operating in isolation is untenable. Standardized
    interfaces, protocols and data models will facilitate the integration of
    the functional blocks within a system and between systems. Open Command and
    Control (OpenC2) is a concise and extensible language to enable
    machine-to-machine communications for purposes of 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.

    The OpenC2 Architecture Specification describes the abstract architecture
    of OpenC2 to define a common understanding of the messages and interactions
    for all bindings and serializations.

    This Committee Specification is an OASIS deliverable, completed and
    approved by the TC and fully ready for testing and implementation.

    Members of the OpenC2 TC [1] approved this specification by Special
    Majority Vote. The specification had been released for public review as
    required by the TC Process [2]. The vote to approve as a Committee
    Specification with non-material changes passed [3], and the document is now
    available online in the OASIS Library as referenced above.

    Our congratulations to the TC on achieving this milestone and our thanks to
    the reviewers who provided feedback on the specification drafts to help
    improve the quality of the work.
