Network Working Group A. Dulaunoy
Internet-Draft A. Iklody
Intended status: Informational CIRCL
Expires: 3 July 2025 30 December 2024
MISP taxonomy format
draft-08
Abstract
This document outlines the MISP taxonomy format, a straightforward
JSON structure designed to represent machine tags (also known as
triple tags) vocabularies. A public directory, referred to as MISP
taxonomies, is available and leverages this format. These taxonomies
are used to classify cybersecurity events, threats, suspicious
activities, and indicators.

1. Introduction
Sharing threat information has become a fundamental requirement in
the Internet security and intelligence community at large. This
information can include indicators of compromise, malicious file
indicators, financial fraud indicators, or even detailed information
about a threat actor. Classification plays a crucial role while
sharing such indicators or information, ensuring adequate
distribution, understanding, validation, or action regarding the
shared information. The MISP taxonomies are a public repository of
known vocabularies that can be utilized in threat information
sharing.
Machine tags were introduced in 2007 [machine-tags] to allow users to
be more precise when tagging their pictures with geolocation. So a
machine tag is a tag which uses a special syntax to provide more
information to users and machines. Machine tags are also known as
triple tags due to their format.

Internet-Draft MISP taxonomy format December 2024
In the MISP taxonomy context, machine tags help analysts to classify
their cybersecurity events, indicators or threats. MISP taxonomies
can be used for classification, filtering, triggering actions or
visualisation depending on their use in threat intelligence platforms
such as MISP [MISP-P].
1.1. Conventions and Terminology
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].
2. Format
A machine tag is composed of a namespace (MUST), a predicate (MUST)
and an optional value (OPTIONAL).
Machine tags are represented as a string. Below listed are a set of
sample machine tags for different namespaces such as tlp, admiralty-
scale and osint.
tlp:amber
admiralty-scale:information-credibility="1"
osint:source-type="blog-post"
The MISP taxonomy format describes how to define a machine tag
namespace in a parseable format. The objective is to provide a
simple format to describe machine tag (aka triple tag) vocabularies.
2.1. Overview
The MISP taxonomy format uses the JSON [RFC8259] format. Each
namespace is represented as a JSON object with meta information
including the following fields: namespace, description, version,
type.
namespace defines the overall namespace of the machine tag. The
namespace is represented as a string and MUST be present. The
description is represented as a string and MUST be present. A
version is represented as a unsigned integer MUST be present. A type
defines where a specific taxonomy is applicable and a type can be
applicable at event, user or org level. The type is represented as
an array containing one or more type and SHOULD be present. If a
type is not mentioned, by default, the taxonomy is applicable at
event level only. An exclusive boolean property MAY be present and
defines at namespace level if the predicates are mutually exclusive.

Internet-Draft MISP taxonomy format December 2024
predicates defines all the predicates available in the namespace
defined. predicates is represented as an array of JSON objects.
predicates MUST be present and MUST at least content one element.
values defines all the values for each predicate in the namespace
defined. values SHOULD be present.
2.2. predicates
The predicates array contains one or more JSON objects which lists
all the possible predicates. The JSON object contains two fields:
value and expanded. value MUST be present. expanded SHOULD be
present. value is represented as a string and describes the predicate
value. The predicate value MUST not contain spaces or colons.
expanded is represented as a string and describes the human-readable
version of the predicate value. An exclusive property MAY be present
and defines at namespace level if the values are mutually exclusive.
2.3. values
The values array contain one or more JSON objects which lists all the
possible values of a predicate. The JSON object contains two fields:
predicate and entry. predicate is represented as a string and
describes the predicate value. entry is an array with one or more
JSON objects. The JSON object contains two fields: value and
expanded. value MUST be present. expanded SHOULD be present. value is
represented as a string and describes the machine parsable value.

2.4. optional fields
2.4.1. colour
colour fields MAY be used at predicates or values level to set a
specify colour that MAY be used by the implementation. The colour
field is described as an RGB colour fill in hexadecimal
representation.
Example use of the colour field in the Traffic Light Protocol (TLP):

},
{
"colour": "#FFC000",
"expanded": "(TLP:AMBER) Information exclusively given
to an organization; sharing limited within
the organization to be effectively acted upon.",
"value": "amber"
}...]
2.4.2. description
description fields MAY be used at predicates or values level to add a
descriptive and human-readable information about the specific
predicate or value. The field is represented as a string.
Implementations MAY use the description field to improve more
contextual information. The description at the namespace level is a
MUST as described above.
2.4.3. numerical_value
numerical_value fields MAY be used at a predicate or value level to
add a machine-readable numeric value to a specific predicate or
value. The field is represented as a JSON number. Implementations
SHOULD use the decimal value provided to support scoring or
filtering.
The decimal range for numerical_value SHOULD use a range from 0 up to
100. The range is recommended to support common mathematical
properties among taxonomies.
Example use of the numerical_value in the MISP confidence level:

3. Directory
The MISP taxonomies directory is publicly available [MISP-T] in a git
repository. The repository contains a directory per namespace then a
file machinetag.json which contains the taxonomy as described in the
format above. In the root of the repository, a MANIFEST.json exists
containing a list of all the taxonomies.
The MANIFEST.json file is composed of an JSON object with metadata
like version, license, description, url and path. A taxonomies array
describes the taxonomy available with the description, name and
version field.
