This resource outlines workflows for the production of Software Bills of Materials (SBOM) and their provision by software suppliers, including software vendors supplying a commercial product, contract software developers supplying a software deliverable to clients, and open source software (OSS) development projects making their capabilities publicly available. Software Suppliers Playbook: SBOM Production and Provision (2021) The group analyzed efforts already underway by other groups related to communicating this information in a machine-readable manner. This resource summarizes existing standards, formats, and initiatives as they apply to identifying the external components and shared libraries used in the construction of software products for SBOMs, highlighting three key formats of SPDX, CycloneDX, and SWID. Survey of Existing SBOM Formats and Standards (2021) It can help tool creators and vendors to easily classify their work, and can help those who need SBOM tools understand what is available.
This resource offers a categorization of different types of SBOM tools. It characterizes the security, quality, efficiency, and other organizational benefits, as well as the potential for the broader ecosystem across the supply chain. This resource summarizes the use cases and benefits of having an SBOM from the perspective of those who make software, those who choose or buy software, and those who operate it. Use Cases: Roles and Benefits for SBOM Across the Supply Chain (2019) This resource frames the dimensions of SBOM creation and delivery, to support more consistent and effective articulation of needs between requesters and suppliers of SBOMs. It defines SBOM concepts and related terms, offers an updated baseline of how software components are to be represented, and discusses the processes around SBOM creation. This resource serves as the detailed foundation of SBOM. This collection of videos provides a wide range of information about SBOM including introductory concepts, technical webinars, and proof of concept presentations.įraming Software Component Transparency: Establishing a Common Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) – (2021) SBOM Explainer Videos on YouTube (2020-2021) This document is intended to help the reader to understand and dispel common, often sincere myths and misconceptions about SBOM. This document outlines detailed information, benefits, and commonly asked questions. This resource provides an introduction to the practice of SBOM, supporting literature, and the pivotal role SBOMs play in providing much-needed transparency for the software supply chain. More information about the NTIA multistakeholder process on software component transparency is available here. The following documents were drafted by stakeholders in an open and transparent process to address transparency around software components, and were approved by a consensus of participating stakeholders.
dll files to evaluate the MATLAB script in the component to perform the calculations.A “Software Bill of Materials” (SBOM) is a nested inventory for software, a list of ingredients that make up software components. OptiSystem contains a MATLAB component that enables the user to call MATLAB within its environment to incorporate new components or models into the software. OptiSystem serves a wide range of applications, from CATV/WDM network design and SONET/SDH ring design to map design and transmitter, channel, amplifier, and receiver design. OptiSystem is compatible with Optiwave's OptiAmplifier and OptiBPM design tools. Its capabilities can be easily expanded with the addition of user components and seamless interfaces to a range of widely used tools.
A system level simulator based on the realistic modeling of fiber-optic communication systems, OptiSystem possesses a powerful simulation environment and a truly hierarchical definition of components and systems. OptiSystem is an optical communication system simulation package for the design, testing, and optimization of virtually any type of optical link in the physical layer of a broad spectrum of optical networks, from analog video broadcasting systems to intercontinental backbones.
