Intrusion Detection Message Exchange Format
open-in-new
<p>Used as part of computer security, IDMEF (<i>Intrusion Detection Message Exchange Format</i>) is a data format used to exchange information between software enabling intrusion detection, intrusion prevention, security information collection and management systems that may need to interact with them. IDMEF messages are designed to be processed automatically. The details of the format are described in the RFC 4765. This RFC presents an implementation of the <a href="/facts/XML/clNgUfWk">XML</a> data model and the associated DTD. The requirements for this format are described in RFC 4766, and the recommended transport protocol (IDXP) is documented in RFC 4767 </p>
