| Wang, et al. | Expires 5 June 2024 | [Page] |
This memo presents the definition of cyberspace resource, and then discusses a classification framework for cyberspace resources. Cyberspace is widely applied in people's daily life and it is regarded as a new space, paralleled to the geographic space. There are various resources in cyberspace. However, they have not been systematically defined and classified. The objective of this draft is to present the deifinition of cyberspace resource and a standard classification framework, thus, supporting the unified resource storage and shares.¶

Cyberspace, created by communication technologies especially the Internet, is a virtual space where people can easily communicate with others regardless of geographic distance. Due to its convenience, cyberspace has been widely applied in people' daily life and it is regarded as a new space, paralleled to the geographic space. The widely adoption of cyberspace has promote the rapid growth of cyberspace resources.¶
Since the resources in cyberspace have exsited objectively, such as traditional network facilities, access devices, network applications and network datas, it is even not defined up to now. Furthermore, there are not any systematical classification frameworks for cyberspace resources. Most of them are given corresponding names depending on their purpose or vendor, but they seem to be in a "divine" state. Therefore, the resources in cyberspace are not able to stored and shared unifiedly.¶
In order to provide a unified description of cyberspace resources, this draft firstly gives the definition of resources in cyberspace. Then it designs a standard classification framework to classify the resource in cyberspace. This standard framework helps to establish a unified cyberspace resources database, which can be used as the basis for network information storage and sharing in both academia and industry field.¶
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].¶
Methods of linear classification: The classification objects are divided into several levels according to specific forms and attributes, and each level is divided into several categories. The same level category constitutes a parallel relationship, and different level categories form a affiliation relationship.¶
category in higher level: In the methods of linear classification , a category is called category in higher level relative to the next-level category directly divided by it.¶
category in lower level: In the methods of linear classification, a category is called category in lower level relative to the upper-level category that classifies the category.¶
category in same level: In the methods of linear classification, a number of lower-level categories directly classified by a category are called category in same level.¶
The following sections highlight some of the most common framework for network resources categorization use case scenarios and are in no way exhaustive.¶
Network management is the process of administering and managing computer networks. Services provided by this discipline include fault analysis, performance management, provisioning of networks and maintaining the quality of service. Now The variety of resources lead to confusion in network. Network resources as the object of network management need to be paid more attention. But for network managers, there is a lack of uniform identification, location and management of resources.¶
The framework for network resources categorization offers a way for network managers to divide the managed resources. It provides unique identities for each resource, that is, all resources can find the appropriate location in the resources framework tree. Then the corresponding code, name and attributes are added into the database to facilitate unified management. At the same time, for resources with abnormal properties ,it can be located and fixed vulnerabilities in time.¶
Now many platforms(Shodan, Censys etc.) detect network from the network layer to the application layer based on multiple detection technologies. The main goal is to identify network resources, including websites, network hardware, etc and provide network identifiable resources search and classification, establish corresponding database to support user full-text search, regular expression, boolean logic and digital range search. But the lack of a unified standardized model will lead to inaccurate and incomplete retrieval of resources.¶
This framework classifies the resources of the whole network. It can be used to fill the resources search database, and cover the resources that have not been covered before. At the same time, standardize the storage of network resources and improve the search efficiency.¶
Network viruses and worms themselves are also a kind of network resources. With the deepening of network opening and complexity, network viruses and worms are evolving constantly, and the characteristics of diversity and spatial discretization are increasing, resulting in a great hidden danger of network security.¶
The framework for network resources categorization can locate the network resources more accurately and distinguish the benign or malignant network resources, study the process of virus evolution and the possible effects according to the attached attributes , and provide a clearer way to safeguard the operation of network space security, such as anti virus, antivirus and so on.¶
The network resources categorization rules SHOULD follow the following principles to meet the completeness, measurability, scalability and relative orthogonality of resources categorization.¶
Categorization rules SHOULD be consistent with the basic. organizational rules of network resources.¶
The resources categorization perspective SHOULD meet the traditional internet resources integration requirements, and meet the mapping entity integration requirements of the multi-sources mapping platform.¶
The resources categorization system SHOULD start from the traditional network resources system and cover resource elements and have certain compatibility.¶
The network resources categorization architecture can sort and systemize all network resources according to their characteristics, correctly reflect the vertical and horizontal architecture, and form a reasonable categorization system.¶
Each resource in the system occupies a position. And it SHALL reflect the certain relationship between resources, and profoundly reveal the network relationship and the whole picture between resources.¶
Each taxonomic unit of each categorization level in the resources categorization system SHOULD be mutually incompatible, so that any network resource cannot belong to two groups at the same time. That is, the unique encoding allows the network resources to be uniquely identified and described.¶
Categorization design SHOULD be consistent with other national standards in related fields, and at the same time meets the original information concept and semantic consistency when resources coding and code expansion, addition and deletion.¶
It SHALL meet the needs of the development and change of network resources to a great extent. It can increase the categorization of different levels and can also be extended for expansion of unknown resources.¶
This section describes the requirements for categorization of network resources . The network resources categorization SHOULD meet these requirements to make sure it is orthogonal and accurate. Note that the requirements listed in this section have been separated from the context in which they may appear.¶
The following template is used for the definition of the Requirements:¶
Req-ID: An ID composed of a unique two-digit number.¶
Description: The rationale and description of the requirement.¶
The detail requirements on categorization are listed as following:¶
Req-ID: 01¶
Description: The total range of categories in lower level classified by categories in higher level SHOULD be the same as the range of categories in higher level.¶
Req-ID: 02¶
Description: When dividing category in higher level, SHOULD choose the same classification perspective to get the categories in lower level.¶
Req-ID: 03¶
Description: The categories in same level SHALL do not intersect, do not repeat, and only correspond to a category in higher level.¶
Req-ID: 04¶
Description: Categorization SHOULD be carried out from high to low, and there MUST be no jump.¶
This framework for network resources categorization uses methods of linear classification to classify them into five categories: category, sub-category, large, medium and small-category based on the above principles and requirements. It specifies the classification names of the categories, Class-I, Class-II, Class-III, Class-IV, Class-V, and the small-categories are subdivided and named according to the application requirements.¶
Firstly, The categories of network resources are divided into four categories: the network infrastructure, the network application service, the network data resource and the network virtual body based on the sources, applications and activities of network resources. Then the 4 categories are further subdivided into 12 sub-categories.¶
The following template is used for the definition of the categorization of network resources:¶
Class-I: The name of network resources category in highest level¶
EnCode-q: An ID organized in OID format to identify network resources. It can be added to 1.3.6.1.2 mgmt RFC3232 [RFC3232].¶

Note that Network infrastructure, the categorization of the large-categories are organized from the hierarchical location of the network infrastructure in the network architecture and the role played by it.¶
Note that Network application service, first organize the categorization of large-category from the perspective of whether the application is based on ports, and then classify these categories according to the types of services provided by the application.¶
Note that Network data source, firstly the categorization of large-categories are organized from whether the data resources need to be compiled, the storage mode , structure of the data resources and the functions of the data resources are completed. And then classify these categories according to the application scenarios of the data and the data are performed.¶
On the basis of category and sub-category, the resources are further classified and named according to methods of linear classification. On the basis of 4 Class-I and 13 Class-II, there are 22 categories, of which there are 10 network infrastructure categories,5 network application services categories and 7 network data resources categories.¶
