The purpose of the Intrusion Detection Message Exchange Format
(IDMEF) is to define data formats and exchange procedures for sharing
information of interest to intrusion detection and response systems
and to the management systems that may need to interact with them.

This document describes a data model to represent information
exported by intrusion detection systems and explains the rationale
for using this model.  An implementation of the data model in the
Extensible Markup Language (XML) is presented, an XML Document Type
Definition is developed, and examples are provided.  This memo defines an 
Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.

This document is a product of the Intrusion Detection Exchange Format
Working Group of the IETF.


EXPERIMENTAL: This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet 
community. It does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Discussion
and suggestions for improvement are requested.  Distribution of this memo 
is unlimited.
