# CycloneDX v1.6: Now an Ecma International Standard | ||
**01 July 2024** | ||
|
||
OWASP is excited to announce that CycloneDX v1.6 has been officially ratified as an Ecma International standard, | ||
CycloneDX Bill of materials specification, following a decisive vote at the Ecma General Assembly on 26 June. | ||
This milestone sets the stage for CycloneDX Bill of materials being available as a global xBOM (Bill of Materials) | ||
standard for use across multiple domains. CycloneDX is proud to be an OWASP Flagship standards project, and in a | ||
community development model with Ecma International’s TC54, underscoring its importance and impact in the industry. | ||
|
||
#### **A Comprehensive Standard for the Software Supply Chain** | ||
CycloneDX v1.6 stands out as the global xBOM standard that holistically supports a wide range of assets, including | ||
software, services, hardware, firmware, AI/ML, and cryptography. This broad coverage is crucial in today’s complex | ||
and interconnected technology landscape, enabling organizations to achieve comprehensive visibility and management | ||
across their entire supply chain. | ||
|
||
* **Software**: Ensures detailed transparency and management of software components, vital for addressing security vulnerabilities and ensuring compliance. | ||
* **Services**: Covers third-party services, providing insights into potential risks and dependencies that could impact operational integrity. | ||
* **Hardware and Firmware**: Facilitates robust management and security of physical components and embedded systems, crucial for sectors like IoT and critical infrastructure. | ||
* **AI/ML**: Addresses the growing need to manage and secure machine learning models and data, essential for maintaining trust and performance in AI-driven applications. | ||
* **Cryptography**: Ensures secure handling and implementation of cryptographic assets, including Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) readiness as outlined in [NIST SP 1800-38B](https://csrc.nist.gov/pubs/sp/1800/38/iprd-(1)). This is a fundamental aspect of protecting data integrity and confidentiality from evolving threats. | ||
|
||
#### **Ideal for Holistic Supply Chain and Advanced Cybersecurity Use Cases** | ||
|
||
CycloneDX v1.6 is specifically designed to meet the demands of holistic supply chain management and advanced | ||
cybersecurity use cases. By providing a detailed and comprehensive view of the entire supply chain, CycloneDX | ||
enables organizations to identify and mitigate risks effectively, ensuring resilience and security. | ||
|
||
|
||
#### **Unmatched License Support** | ||
|
||
One of the standout features of CycloneDX v1.6 is its advanced license support, which holistically helps to | ||
facilitate open-source license compliance and supports commercial license management and procurement scenarios. | ||
This capability is critical for organizations navigating the complexities of software licensing, ensuring compliance | ||
and optimizing procurement processes. | ||
|
||
|
||
#### **Wide Industry Support** | ||
|
||
CycloneDX has garnered wide industry support, with over 220 tools now supporting the standard. This extensive | ||
ecosystem demonstrates the trust and adoption by the industry, making CycloneDX a reliable and effective choice | ||
for organizations looking to enhance their supply chain security and management. | ||
|
||
#### **Quotes** | ||
|
||
<blockquote class="press-release"> | ||
<p>The ratification of CycloneDX Bill of materials specification as an Ecma International standard is a testament to | ||
the effectiveness of the community model established by Technical Committee 54 (TC54). This model is a benchmark | ||
for future technical committees and the CycloneDX Bill of materials specification is just the beginning, with | ||
several other supply chain standards expected to emerge from TC54.</p> | ||
<cite>Samina Husain, Secretary General of Ecma International</cite> | ||

||
<blockquote class="press-release"> | ||
<p>CycloneDX Bill of materials specification recognition as an international standard is a testament to its robustness | ||
and wide industry adoption. It exemplifies the kind of innovative solutions the OWASP Foundation is proud to support.</p> | ||
<cite>Andrew van der Stock, Executive Director of the OWASP Foundation</cite> | ||
</blockquote> | ||
|
||
<blockquote class="press-release"> | ||
<p>The standardization of CycloneDX by Ecma International is a major milestone for the global technology community. | ||
This achievement highlights our commitment to creating secure, transparent, and manageable supply chains.</p> | ||

||
#### **About Ecma Technical Committee (TC54)** | ||
|
||
The Ecma Technical Committee 54 (TC54) is responsible for drafting the CycloneDX Bill of materials specification and | ||
other related initiatives. Operating under a community development model, the committee is dedicated to standardizing | ||
core data formats, APIs, and algorithms that advance software and system transparency. | ||
|
||
Among TC54's ongoing projects is the standardization of Package URL (purl), a specification for identifying and locating | ||
software packages. This is crucial for managing dependencies and vulnerabilities across diverse software ecosystems. | ||
Another key initiative is the Transparency Exchange API, designed for the efficient sharing of supply chain artifacts | ||
and intelligence, further enhancing the security and transparency of supply chains. | ||
