    As discussed on the call today I would like to propose that we add an identifier attribute for the bundle so that it can be tracked.



    {
      "type": "bundle",
      "spec_version": "stix-2.0”,
      “id”: “bundle--8e2e2d2b-17d4-4cbf-938f-98ee46b3cd3f"

          "title": "Poison Ivy Malware",
          "description": "This file is part of Poison Ivy",
          "pattern": "file-object.hashes.md5 = '3773a88f65a5e780c8dff9cdc3a056f3'"

    Subject: [cti] Update from STIX Package renaming Mini-Group







    All,




    Here is a quick update from the STIX Package name mini-group. The mini group is proposing:

    Renaming STIX-Package to STIX-Bundle STIX-bundle is simply a transport container STIX-Bundle is a grouping of STIX content that isn’t required to be related (it MIGHT be related, but being in the same bundle doesn’t mean it’s related) Removing all TLO Common Properties (with an open question about Data Markings)

    Removed properties: id, created_by_ref, created_time, revision, modified_time, revoked, revision_comment, confidence, object_markings_refs, granular_markings
    STIX-Bundle will keep the `spec_version` property All content in the bundle MUST be the same STIX version (identified by spec_version)

    There is an open question about whether Data Markings should be in the STIX-Bundle. Arguments for keeping it are:

    The group seemed to have consensus that Bundle-level markings were desired, but evidence was difficult for the mini-group to find. Certain sharing communities would appreciate the simplicity of package marking. It makes objects look smaller and is more natural for people who are new to the specs

    Arguments for removing it are:

    Data Marking at the bundle level is “two ways of doing things” - on-the-object markings and on-the-bundle markings
    TLO signatures will not be valid when the Bundle-level markings are used


    Thank you.
    -Mark

I don't think Bundles should have IDs. We decided that STIX was going to be a transport mechanism, not a document format. If you don't have the TLO's you need, then you need to request the missing TLO's from your higher level transport, ala Bret's example w/ TAXII or via your transport mechanism. As soon as you add an ID to a STIX Bundle, you are now adding meaning to the grouping and we loose the Bundle is just a set of (possibly) unrelated STIX objects. > From: "Jordan, Bret" <bret.jordan@bluecoat.com> > To: Jason Keirstead/CanEast/IBM@IBMCA > Cc: Allan Thomson <athomson@lookingglasscyber.com>, Mark Davidson > <mdavidson@soltra.com>, "cti@lists.oasis-open.org" > <cti@lists.oasis-open.org> > Date: 05/03/2016 02:03 PM > Subject: Re: [cti] Update from STIX Package renaming Mini-Group > Sent by: <cti@lists.oasis-open.org> > > > > I agree with Jason...

    I think we should have a higher bandwidth conversation on this topic (conference call) to discuss our differences and come to closure. Listening to the ‘no id’ camp I’m wondering what bundles are intended to support. I personally think there is no problem having an id in a bundle so would like to understand what is so objectionable to having one. If we don’t have one then vendors can create their own TLO that represents an id for a bundle and do it that way but would like to avoid if we can. I’m happy to provide the webex if interested parties share their preferences on time/date. How about Thu 8am PST? allan On 5/3/16, 1:52 PM, "John-Mark Gurney" <jmg@newcontext.com> wrote: >Jason Keirstead wrote this message on Tue, May 03, 2016 at 14:07 -0300: >> That seems like a TAXII level problem, if anything. >> >> I don't see how having IDs would even solve that problem, without changes >> to TAXII to allow someone to say something like "bundle recieved" > >I agree...
