No Additional PropertiesThe date and time (timestamp) when the BOM was created.
Lifecycles communicate the stage(s) in which data in the BOM was captured. Different types of data may be available at various phases of a lifecycle, such as the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC), IT Asset Management (ITAM), and Software Asset Management (SAM). Thus, a BOM may include data specific to or only obtainable in a given lifecycle.
No Additional ItemsThe product lifecycle(s) that this BOM represents.
A pre-defined phase in the product lifecycle.
BOM produced early in the development lifecycle containing an inventory of components and services that are proposed or planned to be used. The inventory may need to be procured, retrieved, or resourced prior to use.
BOM consisting of information obtained prior to a build process and may contain source files and development artifacts and manifests. The inventory may need to be resolved and retrieved prior to use.
BOM consisting of information obtained during a build process where component inventory is available for use. The precise versions of resolved components are usually available at this time as well as the provenance of where the components were retrieved from.
BOM consisting of information obtained after a build process has completed and the resulting components(s) are available for further analysis. Built components may exist as the result of a CI/CD process, may have been installed or deployed to a system or device, and may need to be retrieved or extracted from the system or device.
BOM produced that represents inventory that is running and operational. This may include staging or production environments and will generally encompass multiple SBOMs describing the applications and operating system, along with HBOMs describing the hardware that makes up the system. Operations Bill of Materials (OBOM) can provide full-stack inventory of runtime environments, configurations, and additional dependencies.
BOM consisting of information observed through network discovery providing point-in-time enumeration of embedded, on-premise, and cloud-native services such as server applications, connected devices, microservices, and serverless functions.

Declared licenses and concluded licenses represent two different stages in the licensing process within software development. Declared licenses refer to the initial intention of the software authors regarding the licensing terms under which their code is released. On the other hand, concluded licenses are the result of a comprehensive analysis of the project's codebase to identify and confirm the actual licenses of the components used, which may differ from the initially declared licenses. While declared licenses provide an upfront indication of the licensing intentions, concluded licenses offer a more thorough understanding of the actual licensing within a project, facilitating proper compliance and risk management. Observed licenses are defined in @.evidence.licenses. Observed licenses form the evidence necessary to substantiate a concluded license.

[Deprecated] This will be removed in a future version. Use the pedigree element instead to supply information on exactly how the component was modified. A boolean value indicating if the component has been modified from the original. A value of true indicates the component is a derivative of the original. A value of false indicates the component has not been modified from the original.
Component pedigree is a way to document complex supply chain scenarios where components are created, distributed, modified, redistributed, combined with other components, etc. Pedigree supports viewing this complex chain from the beginning, the end, or anywhere in the middle. It also provides a way to document variants where the exact relation may not be known.
No Additional PropertiesDescribes zero or more components in which a component is derived from. This is commonly used to describe forks from existing projects where the forked version contains a ancestor node containing the original component it was forked from. For example, Component A is the original component. Component B is the component being used and documented in the BOM. However, Component B contains a pedigree node with a single ancestor documenting Component A - the original component from which Component B is derived from.
No Additional ItemsDescendants are the exact opposite of ancestors. This provides a way to document all forks (and their forks) of an original or root component.

Declared licenses and concluded licenses represent two different stages in the licensing process within software development. Declared licenses refer to the initial intention of the software authors regarding the licensing terms under which their code is released. On the other hand, concluded licenses are the result of a comprehensive analysis of the project's codebase to identify and confirm the actual licenses of the components used, which may differ from the initially declared licenses. While declared licenses provide an upfront indication of the licensing intentions, concluded licenses offer a more thorough understanding of the actual licensing within a project, facilitating proper compliance and risk management. Observed licenses are defined in @.evidence.licenses. Observed licenses form the evidence necessary to substantiate a concluded license.

Cryptographic assets have properties that uniquely define them and that make them actionable for further reasoning. As an example, it makes a difference if one knows the algorithm family (e.g. AES) or the specific variant or instantiation (e.g. AES-128-GCM). This is because the security level and the algorithm primitive (authenticated encryption) are only defined by the definition of the algorithm variant. The presence of a weak cryptographic algorithm like SHA1 vs. HMAC-SHA1 also makes a difference.
No Additional PropertiesCryptographic assets occur in several forms. Algorithms and protocols are most commonly implemented in specialized cryptographic libraries. They may, however, also be 'hardcoded' in software components. Certificates and related cryptographic material like keys, tokens, secrets or passwords are other cryptographic assets to be modelled.
Mathematical function commonly used for data encryption, authentication, and digital signatures.
An electronic document that is used to provide the identity or validate a public key.
A set of rules and guidelines that govern the behavior and communication with each other.
Other cryptographic assets related to algorithms, certificates, and protocols such as keys and tokens.
Additional properties specific to a cryptographic algorithm.
No Additional PropertiesCryptographic building blocks used in higher-level cryptographic systems and protocols. Primitives represent different cryptographic routines: deterministic random bit generators (drbg, e.g. CTR_DRBG from NIST SP800-90A-r1), message authentication codes (mac, e.g. HMAC-SHA-256), blockciphers (e.g. AES), streamciphers (e.g. Salsa20), signatures (e.g. ECDSA), hash functions (e.g. SHA-256), public-key encryption schemes (pke, e.g. RSA), extended output functions (xof, e.g. SHAKE256), key derivation functions (e.g. pbkdf2), key agreement algorithms (e.g. ECDH), key encapsulation mechanisms (e.g. ML-KEM), authenticated encryption (ae, e.g. AES-GCM) and the combination of multiple algorithms (combiner, e.g. SP800-56Cr2).
Deterministic Random Bit Generator (DRBG) is a type of pseudorandom number generator designed to produce a sequence of bits from an initial seed value. DRBGs are commonly used in cryptographic applications where reproducibility of random values is important.
In cryptography, a Message Authentication Code (MAC) is information used for authenticating and integrity-checking a message.
A block cipher is a symmetric key algorithm that operates on fixed-size blocks of data. It encrypts or decrypts the data in block units, providing confidentiality. Block ciphers are widely used in various cryptographic modes and protocols for secure data transmission.
A stream cipher is a symmetric key cipher where plaintext digits are combined with a pseudorandom cipher digit stream (keystream).
In cryptography, a signature is a digital representation of a message or data that proves its origin, identity, and integrity. Digital signatures are generated using cryptographic algorithms and are widely used for authentication and verification in secure communication.
A hash function is a mathematical algorithm that takes an input (or 'message') and produces a fixed-size string of characters, which is typically a hash value. Hash functions are commonly used in various cryptographic applications, including data integrity verification and password hashing.
Public Key Encryption (PKE) is a type of encryption that uses a pair of public and private keys for secure communication. The public key is used for encryption, while the private key is used for decryption. PKE is a fundamental component of public-key cryptography.
An XOF is an extendable output function that can take arbitrary input and creates a stream of output, up to a limit determined by the size of the internal state of the hash function that underlies the XOF.
A Key Derivation Function (KDF) derives key material from another source of entropy while preserving the entropy of the input.
In cryptography, a key-agreement is a protocol whereby two or more parties agree on a cryptographic key in such a way that both influence the outcome.
A Key Encapsulation Mechanism (KEM) algorithm is a mechanism for transporting random keying material to a recipient using the recipient's public key.
Authenticated Encryption (AE) is a cryptographic process that provides both confidentiality and data integrity. It ensures that the encrypted data has not been tampered with and comes from a legitimate source. AE is commonly used in secure communication protocols.
A combiner aggregates many candidates for a cryptographic primitive and generates a new candidate for the same primitive.
Another primitive type.
The primitive is not known.
An identifier for the parameter set of the cryptographic algorithm. Examples: in AES128, '128' identifies the key length in bits, in SHA256, '256' identifies the digest length, '128' in SHAKE128 identifies its maximum security level in bits, and 'SHA2-128s' identifies a parameter set used in SLH-DSA (FIPS205).
The specific underlying Elliptic Curve (EC) definition employed which is an indicator of the level of security strength, performance and complexity. Absent an authoritative source of curve names, CycloneDX recommends using curve names as defined at https://neuromancer.sk/std/, the source of which can be found at https://github.com/J08nY/std-curves.

Declared licenses and concluded licenses represent two different stages in the licensing process within software development. Declared licenses refer to the initial intention of the software authors regarding the licensing terms under which their code is released. On the other hand, concluded licenses are the result of a comprehensive analysis of the project's codebase to identify and confirm the actual licenses of the components used, which may differ from the initially declared licenses. While declared licenses provide an upfront indication of the licensing intentions, concluded licenses offer a more thorough understanding of the actual licensing within a project, facilitating proper compliance and risk management. Observed licenses are defined in @.evidence.licenses. Observed licenses form the evidence necessary to substantiate a concluded license.
Declared licenses represent the initial intentions of authors regarding the licensing terms of their code.
Concluded licenses are verified and confirmed.

Declared licenses and concluded licenses represent two different stages in the licensing process within software development. Declared licenses refer to the initial intention of the software authors regarding the licensing terms under which their code is released. On the other hand, concluded licenses are the result of a comprehensive analysis of the project's codebase to identify and confirm the actual licenses of the components used, which may differ from the initially declared licenses. While declared licenses provide an upfront indication of the licensing intentions, concluded licenses offer a more thorough understanding of the actual licensing within a project, facilitating proper compliance and risk management. Observed licenses are defined in @.evidence.licenses. Observed licenses form the evidence necessary to substantiate a concluded license.

Declared licenses and concluded licenses represent two different stages in the licensing process within software development. Declared licenses refer to the initial intention of the software authors regarding the licensing terms under which their code is released. On the other hand, concluded licenses are the result of a comprehensive analysis of the project's codebase to identify and confirm the actual licenses of the components used, which may differ from the initially declared licenses. While declared licenses provide an upfront indication of the licensing intentions, concluded licenses offer a more thorough understanding of the actual licensing within a project, facilitating proper compliance and risk management. Observed licenses are defined in @.evidence.licenses. Observed licenses form the evidence necessary to substantiate a concluded license.

[Deprecated] This will be removed in a future version. Use the pedigree element instead to supply information on exactly how the component was modified. A boolean value indicating if the component has been modified from the original. A value of true indicates the component is a derivative of the original. A value of false indicates the component has not been modified from the original.
Component pedigree is a way to document complex supply chain scenarios where components are created, distributed, modified, redistributed, combined with other components, etc. Pedigree supports viewing this complex chain from the beginning, the end, or anywhere in the middle. It also provides a way to document variants where the exact relation may not be known.
No Additional PropertiesDescribes zero or more components in which a component is derived from. This is commonly used to describe forks from existing projects where the forked version contains a ancestor node containing the original component it was forked from. For example, Component A is the original component. Component B is the component being used and documented in the BOM. However, Component B contains a pedigree node with a single ancestor documenting Component A - the original component from which Component B is derived from.
No Additional ItemsDescendants are the exact opposite of ancestors. This provides a way to document all forks (and their forks) of an original or root component.

Declared licenses and concluded licenses represent two different stages in the licensing process within software development. Declared licenses refer to the initial intention of the software authors regarding the licensing terms under which their code is released. On the other hand, concluded licenses are the result of a comprehensive analysis of the project's codebase to identify and confirm the actual licenses of the components used, which may differ from the initially declared licenses. While declared licenses provide an upfront indication of the licensing intentions, concluded licenses offer a more thorough understanding of the actual licensing within a project, facilitating proper compliance and risk management. Observed licenses are defined in @.evidence.licenses. Observed licenses form the evidence necessary to substantiate a concluded license.

Cryptographic assets have properties that uniquely define them and that make them actionable for further reasoning. As an example, it makes a difference if one knows the algorithm family (e.g. AES) or the specific variant or instantiation (e.g. AES-128-GCM). This is because the security level and the algorithm primitive (authenticated encryption) are only defined by the definition of the algorithm variant. The presence of a weak cryptographic algorithm like SHA1 vs. HMAC-SHA1 also makes a difference.
No Additional PropertiesCryptographic assets occur in several forms. Algorithms and protocols are most commonly implemented in specialized cryptographic libraries. They may, however, also be 'hardcoded' in software components. Certificates and related cryptographic material like keys, tokens, secrets or passwords are other cryptographic assets to be modelled.
Mathematical function commonly used for data encryption, authentication, and digital signatures.
An electronic document that is used to provide the identity or validate a public key.
A set of rules and guidelines that govern the behavior and communication with each other.
Other cryptographic assets related to algorithms, certificates, and protocols such as keys and tokens.
Additional properties specific to a cryptographic algorithm.
No Additional PropertiesCryptographic building blocks used in higher-level cryptographic systems and protocols. Primitives represent different cryptographic routines: deterministic random bit generators (drbg, e.g. CTR_DRBG from NIST SP800-90A-r1), message authentication codes (mac, e.g. HMAC-SHA-256), blockciphers (e.g. AES), streamciphers (e.g. Salsa20), signatures (e.g. ECDSA), hash functions (e.g. SHA-256), public-key encryption schemes (pke, e.g. RSA), extended output functions (xof, e.g. SHAKE256), key derivation functions (e.g. pbkdf2), key agreement algorithms (e.g. ECDH), key encapsulation mechanisms (e.g. ML-KEM), authenticated encryption (ae, e.g. AES-GCM) and the combination of multiple algorithms (combiner, e.g. SP800-56Cr2).
Deterministic Random Bit Generator (DRBG) is a type of pseudorandom number generator designed to produce a sequence of bits from an initial seed value. DRBGs are commonly used in cryptographic applications where reproducibility of random values is important.
In cryptography, a Message Authentication Code (MAC) is information used for authenticating and integrity-checking a message.
A block cipher is a symmetric key algorithm that operates on fixed-size blocks of data. It encrypts or decrypts the data in block units, providing confidentiality. Block ciphers are widely used in various cryptographic modes and protocols for secure data transmission.
A stream cipher is a symmetric key cipher where plaintext digits are combined with a pseudorandom cipher digit stream (keystream).
In cryptography, a signature is a digital representation of a message or data that proves its origin, identity, and integrity. Digital signatures are generated using cryptographic algorithms and are widely used for authentication and verification in secure communication.
A hash function is a mathematical algorithm that takes an input (or 'message') and produces a fixed-size string of characters, which is typically a hash value. Hash functions are commonly used in various cryptographic applications, including data integrity verification and password hashing.
Public Key Encryption (PKE) is a type of encryption that uses a pair of public and private keys for secure communication. The public key is used for encryption, while the private key is used for decryption. PKE is a fundamental component of public-key cryptography.
An XOF is an extendable output function that can take arbitrary input and creates a stream of output, up to a limit determined by the size of the internal state of the hash function that underlies the XOF.
A Key Derivation Function (KDF) derives key material from another source of entropy while preserving the entropy of the input.
In cryptography, a key-agreement is a protocol whereby two or more parties agree on a cryptographic key in such a way that both influence the outcome.
A Key Encapsulation Mechanism (KEM) algorithm is a mechanism for transporting random keying material to a recipient using the recipient's public key.
Authenticated Encryption (AE) is a cryptographic process that provides both confidentiality and data integrity. It ensures that the encrypted data has not been tampered with and comes from a legitimate source. AE is commonly used in secure communication protocols.
A combiner aggregates many candidates for a cryptographic primitive and generates a new candidate for the same primitive.
Another primitive type.
The primitive is not known.
An identifier for the parameter set of the cryptographic algorithm. Examples: in AES128, '128' identifies the key length in bits, in SHA256, '256' identifies the digest length, '128' in SHAKE128 identifies its maximum security level in bits, and 'SHA2-128s' identifies a parameter set used in SLH-DSA (FIPS205).
The specific underlying Elliptic Curve (EC) definition employed which is an indicator of the level of security strength, performance and complexity. Absent an authoritative source of curve names, CycloneDX recommends using curve names as defined at https://neuromancer.sk/std/, the source of which can be found at https://github.com/J08nY/std-curves.

Declared licenses and concluded licenses represent two different stages in the licensing process within software development. Declared licenses refer to the initial intention of the software authors regarding the licensing terms under which their code is released. On the other hand, concluded licenses are the result of a comprehensive analysis of the project's codebase to identify and confirm the actual licenses of the components used, which may differ from the initially declared licenses. While declared licenses provide an upfront indication of the licensing intentions, concluded licenses offer a more thorough understanding of the actual licensing within a project, facilitating proper compliance and risk management. Observed licenses are defined in @.evidence.licenses. Observed licenses form the evidence necessary to substantiate a concluded license.

Declared licenses and concluded licenses represent two different stages in the licensing process within software development. Declared licenses refer to the initial intention of the software authors regarding the licensing terms under which their code is released. On the other hand, concluded licenses are the result of a comprehensive analysis of the project's codebase to identify and confirm the actual licenses of the components used, which may differ from the initially declared licenses. While declared licenses provide an upfront indication of the licensing intentions, concluded licenses offer a more thorough understanding of the actual licensing within a project, facilitating proper compliance and risk management. Observed licenses are defined in @.evidence.licenses. Observed licenses form the evidence necessary to substantiate a concluded license.

[Deprecated] This will be removed in a future version. Use the pedigree element instead to supply information on exactly how the component was modified. A boolean value indicating if the component has been modified from the original. A value of true indicates the component is a derivative of the original. A value of false indicates the component has not been modified from the original.
Component pedigree is a way to document complex supply chain scenarios where components are created, distributed, modified, redistributed, combined with other components, etc. Pedigree supports viewing this complex chain from the beginning, the end, or anywhere in the middle. It also provides a way to document variants where the exact relation may not be known.
No Additional PropertiesDescribes zero or more components in which a component is derived from. This is commonly used to describe forks from existing projects where the forked version contains a ancestor node containing the original component it was forked from. For example, Component A is the original component. Component B is the component being used and documented in the BOM. However, Component B contains a pedigree node with a single ancestor documenting Component A - the original component from which Component B is derived from.
No Additional ItemsDescendants are the exact opposite of ancestors. This provides a way to document all forks (and their forks) of an original or root component.

Declared licenses and concluded licenses represent two different stages in the licensing process within software development. Declared licenses refer to the initial intention of the software authors regarding the licensing terms under which their code is released. On the other hand, concluded licenses are the result of a comprehensive analysis of the project's codebase to identify and confirm the actual licenses of the components used, which may differ from the initially declared licenses. While declared licenses provide an upfront indication of the licensing intentions, concluded licenses offer a more thorough understanding of the actual licensing within a project, facilitating proper compliance and risk management. Observed licenses are defined in @.evidence.licenses. Observed licenses form the evidence necessary to substantiate a concluded license.

Cryptographic assets have properties that uniquely define them and that make them actionable for further reasoning. As an example, it makes a difference if one knows the algorithm family (e.g. AES) or the specific variant or instantiation (e.g. AES-128-GCM). This is because the security level and the algorithm primitive (authenticated encryption) are only defined by the definition of the algorithm variant. The presence of a weak cryptographic algorithm like SHA1 vs. HMAC-SHA1 also makes a difference.
No Additional PropertiesCryptographic assets occur in several forms. Algorithms and protocols are most commonly implemented in specialized cryptographic libraries. They may, however, also be 'hardcoded' in software components. Certificates and related cryptographic material like keys, tokens, secrets or passwords are other cryptographic assets to be modelled.
Mathematical function commonly used for data encryption, authentication, and digital signatures.
An electronic document that is used to provide the identity or validate a public key.
A set of rules and guidelines that govern the behavior and communication with each other.
Other cryptographic assets related to algorithms, certificates, and protocols such as keys and tokens.
Additional properties specific to a cryptographic algorithm.
No Additional PropertiesCryptographic building blocks used in higher-level cryptographic systems and protocols. Primitives represent different cryptographic routines: deterministic random bit generators (drbg, e.g. CTR_DRBG from NIST SP800-90A-r1), message authentication codes (mac, e.g. HMAC-SHA-256), blockciphers (e.g. AES), streamciphers (e.g. Salsa20), signatures (e.g. ECDSA), hash functions (e.g. SHA-256), public-key encryption schemes (pke, e.g. RSA), extended output functions (xof, e.g. SHAKE256), key derivation functions (e.g. pbkdf2), key agreement algorithms (e.g. ECDH), key encapsulation mechanisms (e.g. ML-KEM), authenticated encryption (ae, e.g. AES-GCM) and the combination of multiple algorithms (combiner, e.g. SP800-56Cr2).
Deterministic Random Bit Generator (DRBG) is a type of pseudorandom number generator designed to produce a sequence of bits from an initial seed value. DRBGs are commonly used in cryptographic applications where reproducibility of random values is important.
In cryptography, a Message Authentication Code (MAC) is information used for authenticating and integrity-checking a message.
A block cipher is a symmetric key algorithm that operates on fixed-size blocks of data. It encrypts or decrypts the data in block units, providing confidentiality. Block ciphers are widely used in various cryptographic modes and protocols for secure data transmission.
A stream cipher is a symmetric key cipher where plaintext digits are combined with a pseudorandom cipher digit stream (keystream).
In cryptography, a signature is a digital representation of a message or data that proves its origin, identity, and integrity. Digital signatures are generated using cryptographic algorithms and are widely used for authentication and verification in secure communication.
A hash function is a mathematical algorithm that takes an input (or 'message') and produces a fixed-size string of characters, which is typically a hash value. Hash functions are commonly used in various cryptographic applications, including data integrity verification and password hashing.
Public Key Encryption (PKE) is a type of encryption that uses a pair of public and private keys for secure communication. The public key is used for encryption, while the private key is used for decryption. PKE is a fundamental component of public-key cryptography.
An XOF is an extendable output function that can take arbitrary input and creates a stream of output, up to a limit determined by the size of the internal state of the hash function that underlies the XOF.
A Key Derivation Function (KDF) derives key material from another source of entropy while preserving the entropy of the input.
In cryptography, a key-agreement is a protocol whereby two or more parties agree on a cryptographic key in such a way that both influence the outcome.
A Key Encapsulation Mechanism (KEM) algorithm is a mechanism for transporting random keying material to a recipient using the recipient's public key.
Authenticated Encryption (AE) is a cryptographic process that provides both confidentiality and data integrity. It ensures that the encrypted data has not been tampered with and comes from a legitimate source. AE is commonly used in secure communication protocols.
A combiner aggregates many candidates for a cryptographic primitive and generates a new candidate for the same primitive.
Another primitive type.
The primitive is not known.
An identifier for the parameter set of the cryptographic algorithm. Examples: in AES128, '128' identifies the key length in bits, in SHA256, '256' identifies the digest length, '128' in SHAKE128 identifies its maximum security level in bits, and 'SHA2-128s' identifies a parameter set used in SLH-DSA (FIPS205).
The specific underlying Elliptic Curve (EC) definition employed which is an indicator of the level of security strength, performance and complexity. Absent an authoritative source of curve names, CycloneDX recommends using curve names as defined at https://neuromancer.sk/std/, the source of which can be found at https://github.com/J08nY/std-curves.

Declared licenses and concluded licenses represent two different stages in the licensing process within software development. Declared licenses refer to the initial intention of the software authors regarding the licensing terms under which their code is released. On the other hand, concluded licenses are the result of a comprehensive analysis of the project's codebase to identify and confirm the actual licenses of the components used, which may differ from the initially declared licenses. While declared licenses provide an upfront indication of the licensing intentions, concluded licenses offer a more thorough understanding of the actual licensing within a project, facilitating proper compliance and risk management. Observed licenses are defined in @.evidence.licenses. Observed licenses form the evidence necessary to substantiate a concluded license.

Declared licenses and concluded licenses represent two different stages in the licensing process within software development. Declared licenses refer to the initial intention of the software authors regarding the licensing terms under which their code is released. On the other hand, concluded licenses are the result of a comprehensive analysis of the project's codebase to identify and confirm the actual licenses of the components used, which may differ from the initially declared licenses. While declared licenses provide an upfront indication of the licensing intentions, concluded licenses offer a more thorough understanding of the actual licensing within a project, facilitating proper compliance and risk management. Observed licenses are defined in @.evidence.licenses. Observed licenses form the evidence necessary to substantiate a concluded license.

[Deprecated] This will be removed in a future version. Use the pedigree element instead to supply information on exactly how the component was modified. A boolean value indicating if the component has been modified from the original. A value of true indicates the component is a derivative of the original. A value of false indicates the component has not been modified from the original.
Component pedigree is a way to document complex supply chain scenarios where components are created, distributed, modified, redistributed, combined with other components, etc. Pedigree supports viewing this complex chain from the beginning, the end, or anywhere in the middle. It also provides a way to document variants where the exact relation may not be known.
No Additional PropertiesDescribes zero or more components in which a component is derived from. This is commonly used to describe forks from existing projects where the forked version contains a ancestor node containing the original component it was forked from. For example, Component A is the original component. Component B is the component being used and documented in the BOM. However, Component B contains a pedigree node with a single ancestor documenting Component A - the original component from which Component B is derived from.
No Additional ItemsDescendants are the exact opposite of ancestors. This provides a way to document all forks (and their forks) of an original or root component.

Declared licenses and concluded licenses represent two different stages in the licensing process within software development. Declared licenses refer to the initial intention of the software authors regarding the licensing terms under which their code is released. On the other hand, concluded licenses are the result of a comprehensive analysis of the project's codebase to identify and confirm the actual licenses of the components used, which may differ from the initially declared licenses. While declared licenses provide an upfront indication of the licensing intentions, concluded licenses offer a more thorough understanding of the actual licensing within a project, facilitating proper compliance and risk management. Observed licenses are defined in @.evidence.licenses. Observed licenses form the evidence necessary to substantiate a concluded license.

Cryptographic assets have properties that uniquely define them and that make them actionable for further reasoning. As an example, it makes a difference if one knows the algorithm family (e.g. AES) or the specific variant or instantiation (e.g. AES-128-GCM). This is because the security level and the algorithm primitive (authenticated encryption) are only defined by the definition of the algorithm variant. The presence of a weak cryptographic algorithm like SHA1 vs. HMAC-SHA1 also makes a difference.
No Additional PropertiesCryptographic assets occur in several forms. Algorithms and protocols are most commonly implemented in specialized cryptographic libraries. They may, however, also be 'hardcoded' in software components. Certificates and related cryptographic material like keys, tokens, secrets or passwords are other cryptographic assets to be modelled.
Mathematical function commonly used for data encryption, authentication, and digital signatures.
An electronic document that is used to provide the identity or validate a public key.
A set of rules and guidelines that govern the behavior and communication with each other.
Other cryptographic assets related to algorithms, certificates, and protocols such as keys and tokens.
Additional properties specific to a cryptographic algorithm.
No Additional PropertiesCryptographic building blocks used in higher-level cryptographic systems and protocols. Primitives represent different cryptographic routines: deterministic random bit generators (drbg, e.g. CTR_DRBG from NIST SP800-90A-r1), message authentication codes (mac, e.g. HMAC-SHA-256), blockciphers (e.g. AES), streamciphers (e.g. Salsa20), signatures (e.g. ECDSA), hash functions (e.g. SHA-256), public-key encryption schemes (pke, e.g. RSA), extended output functions (xof, e.g. SHAKE256), key derivation functions (e.g. pbkdf2), key agreement algorithms (e.g. ECDH), key encapsulation mechanisms (e.g. ML-KEM), authenticated encryption (ae, e.g. AES-GCM) and the combination of multiple algorithms (combiner, e.g. SP800-56Cr2).
Deterministic Random Bit Generator (DRBG) is a type of pseudorandom number generator designed to produce a sequence of bits from an initial seed value. DRBGs are commonly used in cryptographic applications where reproducibility of random values is important.
In cryptography, a Message Authentication Code (MAC) is information used for authenticating and integrity-checking a message.
A block cipher is a symmetric key algorithm that operates on fixed-size blocks of data. It encrypts or decrypts the data in block units, providing confidentiality. Block ciphers are widely used in various cryptographic modes and protocols for secure data transmission.
A stream cipher is a symmetric key cipher where plaintext digits are combined with a pseudorandom cipher digit stream (keystream).
In cryptography, a signature is a digital representation of a message or data that proves its origin, identity, and integrity. Digital signatures are generated using cryptographic algorithms and are widely used for authentication and verification in secure communication.
A hash function is a mathematical algorithm that takes an input (or 'message') and produces a fixed-size string of characters, which is typically a hash value. Hash functions are commonly used in various cryptographic applications, including data integrity verification and password hashing.
Public Key Encryption (PKE) is a type of encryption that uses a pair of public and private keys for secure communication. The public key is used for encryption, while the private key is used for decryption. PKE is a fundamental component of public-key cryptography.
An XOF is an extendable output function that can take arbitrary input and creates a stream of output, up to a limit determined by the size of the internal state of the hash function that underlies the XOF.
A Key Derivation Function (KDF) derives key material from another source of entropy while preserving the entropy of the input.
In cryptography, a key-agreement is a protocol whereby two or more parties agree on a cryptographic key in such a way that both influence the outcome.
A Key Encapsulation Mechanism (KEM) algorithm is a mechanism for transporting random keying material to a recipient using the recipient's public key.
Authenticated Encryption (AE) is a cryptographic process that provides both confidentiality and data integrity. It ensures that the encrypted data has not been tampered with and comes from a legitimate source. AE is commonly used in secure communication protocols.
A combiner aggregates many candidates for a cryptographic primitive and generates a new candidate for the same primitive.
Another primitive type.
The primitive is not known.
An identifier for the parameter set of the cryptographic algorithm. Examples: in AES128, '128' identifies the key length in bits, in SHA256, '256' identifies the digest length, '128' in SHAKE128 identifies its maximum security level in bits, and 'SHA2-128s' identifies a parameter set used in SLH-DSA (FIPS205).
The specific underlying Elliptic Curve (EC) definition employed which is an indicator of the level of security strength, performance and complexity. Absent an authoritative source of curve names, CycloneDX recommends using curve names as defined at https://neuromancer.sk/std/, the source of which can be found at https://github.com/J08nY/std-curves.

Declared licenses and concluded licenses represent two different stages in the licensing process within software development. Declared licenses refer to the initial intention of the software authors regarding the licensing terms under which their code is released. On the other hand, concluded licenses are the result of a comprehensive analysis of the project's codebase to identify and confirm the actual licenses of the components used, which may differ from the initially declared licenses. While declared licenses provide an upfront indication of the licensing intentions, concluded licenses offer a more thorough understanding of the actual licensing within a project, facilitating proper compliance and risk management. Observed licenses are defined in @.evidence.licenses. Observed licenses form the evidence necessary to substantiate a concluded license.

Declared licenses and concluded licenses represent two different stages in the licensing process within software development. Declared licenses refer to the initial intention of the software authors regarding the licensing terms under which their code is released. On the other hand, concluded licenses are the result of a comprehensive analysis of the project's codebase to identify and confirm the actual licenses of the components used, which may differ from the initially declared licenses. While declared licenses provide an upfront indication of the licensing intentions, concluded licenses offer a more thorough understanding of the actual licensing within a project, facilitating proper compliance and risk management. Observed licenses are defined in @.evidence.licenses. Observed licenses form the evidence necessary to substantiate a concluded license.
Declared licenses represent the initial intentions of authors regarding the licensing terms of their code.

Declared licenses and concluded licenses represent two different stages in the licensing process within software development. Declared licenses refer to the initial intention of the software authors regarding the licensing terms under which their code is released. On the other hand, concluded licenses are the result of a comprehensive analysis of the project's codebase to identify and confirm the actual licenses of the components used, which may differ from the initially declared licenses. While declared licenses provide an upfront indication of the licensing intentions, concluded licenses offer a more thorough understanding of the actual licensing within a project, facilitating proper compliance and risk management. Observed licenses are defined in @.evidence.licenses. Observed licenses form the evidence necessary to substantiate a concluded license.
Declared licenses represent the initial intentions of authors regarding the licensing terms of their code.

[Deprecated] This will be removed in a future version. Use the pedigree element instead to supply information on exactly how the component was modified. A boolean value indicating if the component has been modified from the original. A value of true indicates the component is a derivative of the original. A value of false indicates the component has not been modified from the original.
Component pedigree is a way to document complex supply chain scenarios where components are created, distributed, modified, redistributed, combined with other components, etc. Pedigree supports viewing this complex chain from the beginning, the end, or anywhere in the middle. It also provides a way to document variants where the exact relation may not be known.
No Additional PropertiesDescribes zero or more components in which a component is derived from. This is commonly used to describe forks from existing projects where the forked version contains a ancestor node containing the original component it was forked from.

Declared licenses and concluded licenses represent two different stages in the licensing process within software development. Declared licenses refer to the initial intention of the software authors regarding the licensing terms under which their code is released. On the other hand, concluded licenses are the result of a comprehensive analysis of the project's codebase to identify and confirm the actual licenses of the components used, which may differ from the initially declared licenses. While declared licenses provide an upfront indication of the licensing intentions, concluded licenses offer a more thorough understanding of the actual licensing within a project, facilitating proper compliance and risk management. Observed licenses are defined in @.evidence.licenses. Observed licenses form the evidence necessary to substantiate a concluded license.

Cryptographic assets have properties that uniquely define them and that make them actionable for further reasoning. As an example, it makes a difference if one knows the algorithm family (e.g. AES) or the specific variant or instantiation (e.g. AES-128-GCM). This is because the security level and the algorithm primitive (authenticated encryption) are only defined by the definition of the algorithm variant. The presence of a weak cryptographic algorithm like SHA1 vs. HMAC-SHA1 also makes a difference.
No Additional PropertiesCryptographic assets occur in several forms. Algorithms and protocols are most commonly implemented in specialized cryptographic libraries. They may, however, also be 'hardcoded' in software components. Certificates and related cryptographic material like keys, tokens, secrets or passwords are other cryptographic assets to be modelled.
Mathematical function commonly used for data encryption, authentication, and digital signatures.
An electronic document that is used to provide the identity or validate a public key.
A set of rules and guidelines that govern the behavior and communication with each other.
Other cryptographic assets related to algorithms, certificates, and protocols such as keys and tokens.
Additional properties specific to a cryptographic algorithm.
No Additional PropertiesCryptographic building blocks used in higher-level cryptographic systems and protocols. Primitives represent different cryptographic routines: deterministic random bit generators (drbg, e.g. CTR_DRBG from NIST SP800-90A-r1), message authentication codes (mac, e.g. HMAC-SHA-256), blockciphers (e.g. AES), streamciphers (e.g. Salsa20), signatures (e.g. ECDSA), hash functions (e.g. SHA-256), public-key encryption schemes (pke, e.g. RSA), extended output functions (xof, e.g. SHAKE256), key derivation functions (e.g. pbkdf2), key agreement algorithms (e.g. ECDH), key encapsulation mechanisms (e.g. ML-KEM), authenticated encryption (ae, e.g. AES-GCM) and the combination of multiple algorithms (combiner, e.g. SP800-56Cr2).
Deterministic Random Bit Generator (DRBG) is a type of pseudorandom number generator designed to produce a sequence of bits from an initial seed value. DRBGs are commonly used in cryptographic applications where reproducibility of random values is important.
In cryptography, a Message Authentication Code (MAC) is information used for authenticating and integrity-checking a message.
A block cipher is a symmetric key algorithm that operates on fixed-size blocks of data. It encrypts or decrypts the data in block units, providing confidentiality. Block ciphers are widely used in various cryptographic modes and protocols for secure data transmission.
A stream cipher is a symmetric key cipher where plaintext digits are combined with a pseudorandom cipher digit stream (keystream).
In cryptography, a signature is a digital representation of a message or data that proves its origin, identity, and integrity. Digital signatures are generated using cryptographic algorithms and are widely used for authentication and verification in secure communication.
A hash function is a mathematical algorithm that takes an input (or 'message') and produces a fixed-size string of characters, which is typically a hash value. Hash functions are commonly used in various cryptographic applications, including data integrity verification and password hashing.
Public Key Encryption (PKE) is a type of encryption that uses a pair of public and private keys for secure communication. The public key is used for encryption, while the private key is used for decryption. PKE is a fundamental component of public-key cryptography.
An XOF is an extendable output function that can take arbitrary input and creates a stream of output, up to a limit determined by the size of the internal state of the hash function that underlies the XOF.
A Key Derivation Function (KDF) derives key material from another source of entropy while preserving the entropy of the input.
In cryptography, a key-agreement is a protocol whereby two or more parties agree on a cryptographic key in such a way that both influence the outcome.
A Key Encapsulation Mechanism (KEM) algorithm is a mechanism for transporting random keying material to a recipient using the recipient's public key.
Authenticated Encryption (AE) is a cryptographic process that provides both confidentiality and data integrity. It ensures that the encrypted data has not been tampered with and comes from a legitimate source. AE is commonly used in secure communication protocols.
A combiner aggregates many candidates for a cryptographic primitive and generates a new candidate for the same primitive.
Another primitive type.
The primitive is not known.
An identifier for the parameter set of the cryptographic algorithm. Examples: in AES128, '128' identifies the key length in bits, in SHA256, '256' identifies the digest length, '128' in SHAKE128 identifies its maximum security level in bits, and 'SHA2-128s' identifies a parameter set used in SLH-DSA (FIPS205).
The specific underlying Elliptic Curve (EC) definition employed which is an indicator of the level of security strength, performance and complexity. Absent an authoritative source of curve names, CycloneDX recommends using curve names as defined at https://neuromancer.sk/std/, the source of which can be found at https://github.com/J08nY/std-curves.

Declared licenses and concluded licenses represent two different stages in the licensing process within software development. Declared licenses refer to the initial intention of the software authors regarding the licensing terms under which their code is released. On the other hand, concluded licenses are the result of a comprehensive analysis of the project's codebase to identify and confirm the actual licenses of the components used, which may differ from the initially declared licenses. While declared licenses provide an upfront indication of the licensing intentions, concluded licenses offer a more thorough understanding of the actual licensing within a project, facilitating proper compliance and risk management. Observed licenses are defined in @.evidence.licenses. Observed licenses form the evidence necessary to substantiate a concluded license.

Declared licenses and concluded licenses represent two different stages in the licensing process within software development. Declared licenses refer to the initial intention of the software authors regarding the licensing terms under which their code is released. On the other hand, concluded licenses are the result of a comprehensive analysis of the project's codebase to identify and confirm the actual licenses of the components used, which may differ from the initially declared licenses. While declared licenses provide an upfront indication of the licensing intentions, concluded licenses offer a more thorough understanding of the actual licensing within a project, facilitating proper compliance and risk management. Observed licenses are defined in @.evidence.licenses. Observed licenses form the evidence necessary to substantiate a concluded license.
Declared licenses represent the initial intentions of authors regarding the licensing terms of their code.

Declared licenses and concluded licenses represent two different stages in the licensing process within software development. Declared licenses refer to the initial intention of the software authors regarding the licensing terms under which their code is released. On the other hand, concluded licenses are the result of a comprehensive analysis of the project's codebase to identify and confirm the actual licenses of the components used, which may differ from the initially declared licenses. While declared licenses provide an upfront indication of the licensing intentions, concluded licenses offer a more thorough understanding of the actual licensing within a project, facilitating proper compliance and risk management. Observed licenses are defined in @.evidence.licenses. Observed licenses form the evidence necessary to substantiate a concluded license.
Declared licenses represent the initial intentions of authors regarding the licensing terms of their code.

[Deprecated] This will be removed in a future version. Use the pedigree element instead to supply information on exactly how the component was modified. A boolean value indicating if the component has been modified from the original. A value of true indicates the component is a derivative of the original. A value of false indicates the component has not been modified from the original.
Component pedigree is a way to document complex supply chain scenarios where components are created, distributed, modified, redistributed, combined with other components, etc. Pedigree supports viewing this complex chain from the beginning, the end, or anywhere in the middle. It also provides a way to document variants where the exact relation may not be known.
No Additional PropertiesDescribes zero or more components in which a component is derived from. This is commonly used to describe forks from existing projects where the forked version contains a ancestor node containing the original component it was forked from.

Cryptographic assets have properties that uniquely define them and that make them actionable for further reasoning. As an example, it makes a difference if one knows the algorithm family (e.g. AES) or the specific variant or instantiation (e.g. AES-128-GCM). This is because the security level and the algorithm primitive (authenticated encryption) are only defined by the definition of the algorithm variant. The presence of a weak cryptographic algorithm like SHA1 vs. HMAC-SHA1 also makes a difference.
No Additional PropertiesCryptographic assets occur in several forms. Algorithms and protocols are most commonly implemented in specialized cryptographic libraries. They may, however, also be 'hardcoded' in software components. Certificates and related cryptographic material like keys, tokens, secrets or passwords are other cryptographic assets to be modelled.
Mathematical function commonly used for data encryption, authentication, and digital signatures.
An electronic document that is used to provide the identity or validate a public key.
A set of rules and guidelines that govern the behavior and communication with each other.
Other cryptographic assets related to algorithms, certificates, and protocols such as keys and tokens.
Additional properties specific to a cryptographic algorithm.
No Additional PropertiesCryptographic building blocks used in higher-level cryptographic systems and protocols. Primitives represent different cryptographic routines: deterministic random bit generators (drbg, e.g. CTR_DRBG from NIST SP800-90A-r1), message authentication codes (mac, e.g. HMAC-SHA-256), blockciphers (e.g. AES), streamciphers (e.g. Salsa20), signatures (e.g. ECDSA), hash functions (e.g. SHA-256), public-key encryption schemes (pke, e.g. RSA), extended output functions (xof, e.g. SHAKE256), key derivation functions (e.g. pbkdf2), key agreement algorithms (e.g. ECDH), key encapsulation mechanisms (e.g. ML-KEM), authenticated encryption (ae, e.g. AES-GCM) and the combination of multiple algorithms (combiner, e.g. SP800-56Cr2).
Deterministic Random Bit Generator (DRBG) is a type of pseudorandom number generator designed to produce a sequence of bits from an initial seed value. DRBGs are commonly used in cryptographic applications where reproducibility of random values is important.
In cryptography, a Message Authentication Code (MAC) is information used for authenticating and integrity-checking a message.
A block cipher is a symmetric key algorithm that operates on fixed-size blocks of data. It encrypts or decrypts the data in block units, providing confidentiality. Block ciphers are widely used in various cryptographic modes and protocols for secure data transmission.
A stream cipher is a symmetric key cipher where plaintext digits are combined with a pseudorandom cipher digit stream (keystream).
In cryptography, a signature is a digital representation of a message or data that proves its origin, identity, and integrity. Digital signatures are generated using cryptographic algorithms and are widely used for authentication and verification in secure communication.
A hash function is a mathematical algorithm that takes an input (or 'message') and produces a fixed-size string of characters, which is typically a hash value. Hash functions are commonly used in various cryptographic applications, including data integrity verification and password hashing.
Public Key Encryption (PKE) is a type of encryption that uses a pair of public and private keys for secure communication. The public key is used for encryption, while the private key is used for decryption. PKE is a fundamental component of public-key cryptography.
An XOF is an extendable output function that can take arbitrary input and creates a stream of output, up to a limit determined by the size of the internal state of the hash function that underlies the XOF.
A Key Derivation Function (KDF) derives key material from another source of entropy while preserving the entropy of the input.
In cryptography, a key-agreement is a protocol whereby two or more parties agree on a cryptographic key in such a way that both influence the outcome.
A Key Encapsulation Mechanism (KEM) algorithm is a mechanism for transporting random keying material to a recipient using the recipient's public key.
Authenticated Encryption (AE) is a cryptographic process that provides both confidentiality and data integrity. It ensures that the encrypted data has not been tampered with and comes from a legitimate source. AE is commonly used in secure communication protocols.
A combiner aggregates many candidates for a cryptographic primitive and generates a new candidate for the same primitive.
Another primitive type.
The primitive is not known.
An identifier for the parameter set of the cryptographic algorithm. Examples: in AES128, '128' identifies the key length in bits, in SHA256, '256' identifies the digest length, '128' in SHAKE128 identifies its maximum security level in bits, and 'SHA2-128s' identifies a parameter set used in SLH-DSA (FIPS205).
The specific underlying Elliptic Curve (EC) definition employed which is an indicator of the level of security strength, performance and complexity. Absent an authoritative source of curve names, CycloneDX recommends using curve names as defined at https://neuromancer.sk/std/, the source of which can be found at https://github.com/J08nY/std-curves.

Declared licenses and concluded licenses represent two different stages in the licensing process within software development. Declared licenses refer to the initial intention of the software authors regarding the licensing terms under which their code is released. On the other hand, concluded licenses are the result of a comprehensive analysis of the project's codebase to identify and confirm the actual licenses of the components used, which may differ from the initially declared licenses. While declared licenses provide an upfront indication of the licensing intentions, concluded licenses offer a more thorough understanding of the actual licensing within a project, facilitating proper compliance and risk management. Observed licenses are defined in @.evidence.licenses. Observed licenses form the evidence necessary to substantiate a concluded license.

Declared licenses and concluded licenses represent two different stages in the licensing process within software development. Declared licenses refer to the initial intention of the software authors regarding the licensing terms under which their code is released. On the other hand, concluded licenses are the result of a comprehensive analysis of the project's codebase to identify and confirm the actual licenses of the components used, which may differ from the initially declared licenses. While declared licenses provide an upfront indication of the licensing intentions, concluded licenses offer a more thorough understanding of the actual licensing within a project, facilitating proper compliance and risk management. Observed licenses are defined in @.evidence.licenses. Observed licenses form the evidence necessary to substantiate a concluded license.
Declared licenses represent the initial intentions of authors regarding the licensing terms of their code.
Concluded licenses are verified and confirmed.

Declared licenses and concluded licenses represent two different stages in the licensing process within software development. Declared licenses refer to the initial intention of the software authors regarding the licensing terms under which their code is released. On the other hand, concluded licenses are the result of a comprehensive analysis of the project's codebase to identify and confirm the actual licenses of the components used, which may differ from the initially declared licenses. While declared licenses provide an upfront indication of the licensing intentions, concluded licenses offer a more thorough understanding of the actual licensing within a project, facilitating proper compliance and risk management. Observed licenses are defined in @.evidence.licenses. Observed licenses form the evidence necessary to substantiate a concluded license.

[Deprecated] This will be removed in a future version. Use the pedigree element instead to supply information on exactly how the component was modified. A boolean value indicating if the component has been modified from the original. A value of true indicates the component is a derivative of the original. A value of false indicates the component has not been modified from the original.
Component pedigree is a way to document complex supply chain scenarios where components are created, distributed, modified, redistributed, combined with other components, etc. Pedigree supports viewing this complex chain from the beginning, the end, or anywhere in the middle. It also provides a way to document variants where the exact relation may not be known.
No Additional PropertiesDescribes zero or more components in which a component is derived from. This is commonly used to describe forks from existing projects where the forked version contains a ancestor node containing the original component it was forked from.

Declared licenses and concluded licenses represent two different stages in the licensing process within software development. Declared licenses refer to the initial intention of the software authors regarding the licensing terms under which their code is released. On the other hand, concluded licenses are the result of a comprehensive analysis of the project's codebase to identify and confirm the actual licenses of the components used, which may differ from the initially declared licenses. While declared licenses provide an upfront indication of the licensing intentions, concluded licenses offer a more thorough understanding of the actual licensing within a project, facilitating proper compliance and risk management. Observed licenses are defined in @.evidence.licenses. Observed licenses form the evidence necessary to substantiate a concluded license.

Cryptographic assets have properties that uniquely define them and that make them actionable for further reasoning. As an example, it makes a difference if one knows the algorithm family (e.g. AES) or the specific variant or instantiation (e.g. AES-128-GCM). This is because the security level and the algorithm primitive (authenticated encryption) are only defined by the definition of the algorithm variant. The presence of a weak cryptographic algorithm like SHA1 vs. HMAC-SHA1 also makes a difference.
No Additional PropertiesCryptographic assets occur in several forms. Algorithms and protocols are most commonly implemented in specialized cryptographic libraries. They may, however, also be 'hardcoded' in software components. Certificates and related cryptographic material like keys, tokens, secrets or passwords are other cryptographic assets to be modelled.
Mathematical function commonly used for data encryption, authentication, and digital signatures.
An electronic document that is used to provide the identity or validate a public key.
A set of rules and guidelines that govern the behavior and communication with each other.
Other cryptographic assets related to algorithms, certificates, and protocols such as keys and tokens.
Additional properties specific to a cryptographic algorithm.
No Additional PropertiesCryptographic building blocks used in higher-level cryptographic systems and protocols. Primitives represent different cryptographic routines: deterministic random bit generators (drbg, e.g. CTR_DRBG from NIST SP800-90A-r1), message authentication codes (mac, e.g. HMAC-SHA-256), blockciphers (e.g. AES), streamciphers (e.g. Salsa20), signatures (e.g. ECDSA), hash functions (e.g. SHA-256), public-key encryption schemes (pke, e.g. RSA), extended output functions (xof, e.g. SHAKE256), key derivation functions (e.g. pbkdf2), key agreement algorithms (e.g. ECDH), key encapsulation mechanisms (e.g. ML-KEM), authenticated encryption (ae, e.g. AES-GCM) and the combination of multiple algorithms (combiner, e.g. SP800-56Cr2).
Deterministic Random Bit Generator (DRBG) is a type of pseudorandom number generator designed to produce a sequence of bits from an initial seed value. DRBGs are commonly used in cryptographic applications where reproducibility of random values is important.
In cryptography, a Message Authentication Code (MAC) is information used for authenticating and integrity-checking a message.
A block cipher is a symmetric key algorithm that operates on fixed-size blocks of data. It encrypts or decrypts the data in block units, providing confidentiality. Block ciphers are widely used in various cryptographic modes and protocols for secure data transmission.
A stream cipher is a symmetric key cipher where plaintext digits are combined with a pseudorandom cipher digit stream (keystream).
In cryptography, a signature is a digital representation of a message or data that proves its origin, identity, and integrity. Digital signatures are generated using cryptographic algorithms and are widely used for authentication and verification in secure communication.
A hash function is a mathematical algorithm that takes an input (or 'message') and produces a fixed-size string of characters, which is typically a hash value. Hash functions are commonly used in various cryptographic applications, including data integrity verification and password hashing.
Public Key Encryption (PKE) is a type of encryption that uses a pair of public and private keys for secure communication. The public key is used for encryption, while the private key is used for decryption. PKE is a fundamental component of public-key cryptography.
An XOF is an extendable output function that can take arbitrary input and creates a stream of output, up to a limit determined by the size of the internal state of the hash function that underlies the XOF.
A Key Derivation Function (KDF) derives key material from another source of entropy while preserving the entropy of the input.
In cryptography, a key-agreement is a protocol whereby two or more parties agree on a cryptographic key in such a way that both influence the outcome.
A Key Encapsulation Mechanism (KEM) algorithm is a mechanism for transporting random keying material to a recipient using the recipient's public key.
Authenticated Encryption (AE) is a cryptographic process that provides both confidentiality and data integrity. It ensures that the encrypted data has not been tampered with and comes from a legitimate source. AE is commonly used in secure communication protocols.
A combiner aggregates many candidates for a cryptographic primitive and generates a new candidate for the same primitive.
Another primitive type.
The primitive is not known.
An identifier for the parameter set of the cryptographic algorithm. Examples: in AES128, '128' identifies the key length in bits, in SHA256, '256' identifies the digest length, '128' in SHAKE128 identifies its maximum security level in bits, and 'SHA2-128s' identifies a parameter set used in SLH-DSA (FIPS205).
The specific underlying Elliptic Curve (EC) definition employed which is an indicator of the level of security strength, performance and complexity. Absent an authoritative source of curve names, CycloneDX recommends using curve names as defined at https://neuromancer.sk/std/, the source of which can be found at https://github.com/J08nY/std-curves.

Declared licenses and concluded licenses represent two different stages in the licensing process within software development. Declared licenses refer to the initial intention of the software authors regarding the licensing terms under which their code is released. On the other hand, concluded licenses are the result of a comprehensive analysis of the project's codebase to identify and confirm the actual licenses of the components used, which may differ from the initially declared licenses. While declared licenses provide an upfront indication of the licensing intentions, concluded licenses offer a more thorough understanding of the actual licensing within a project, facilitating proper compliance and risk management. Observed licenses are defined in @.evidence.licenses. Observed licenses form the evidence necessary to substantiate a concluded license.

If the conditions in the "If" tab are respected, then the conditions in the "Then" tab should be respected. Otherwise, the conditions in the "Else" tab should be respected.
"RSA" Key type indicator.
RSA modulus.
RSA exponent.
Key type indicator.
Additional Properties of any type are allowed.
Type: objectOptional. Sorted array of X.509 [RFC5280] certificates, where the first element must contain the signature certificate. The certificate path must be contiguous but is not required to be complete.
No Additional ItemsOptional. Array holding the names of one or more application level properties that must be excluded from the signature process. Note that the "excludes" property itself, must also be excluded from the signature process. Since both the "excludes" property and the associated data it points to are unsigned, a conforming JSF implementation must provide options for specifying which properties to accept.
No Additional ItemsThe signature data. Note that the binary representation must follow the JWA [RFC7518] specifications.
Unique top level property for Signature Chains. (signaturechain)
No Additional ItemsSignature algorithm. The currently recognized JWA [RFC7518] and RFC8037 [RFC8037] asymmetric key algorithms. Note: Unlike RFC8037 [RFC8037] JSF requires explicit Ed* algorithm names instead of "EdDSA".
Signature algorithm. Note: If proprietary signature algorithms are added, they must be expressed as URIs.
Optional. Application specific string identifying the signature key.
Optional. Public key object.
If the conditions in the "If" tab are respected, then the conditions in the "Then" tab should be respected. Otherwise, the conditions in the "Else" tab should be respected.
"EC" Key type indicator.
EC curve name.
EC curve point X. The length of this field must be the full size of a coordinate for the curve specified in the "crv" parameter. For example, if the value of "crv" is "P-521", the decoded argument must be 66 bytes.
EC curve point Y. The length of this field must be the full size of a coordinate for the curve specified in the "crv" parameter. For example, if the value of "crv" is "P-256", the decoded argument must be 32 bytes.
If the conditions in the "If" tab are respected, then the conditions in the "Then" tab should be respected. Otherwise, the conditions in the "Else" tab should be respected.
"OKP" Key type indicator.
EdDSA curve name.
EdDSA curve point X. The length of this field must be the full size of a coordinate for the curve specified in the "crv" parameter. For example, if the value of "crv" is "Ed25519", the decoded argument must be 32 bytes.
