This document outlines a specification for adding security features to the Data Distribution Service (DDS) protocol. It discusses the status of the specification, scope of security features, potential threats, and requirements from a request for proposals. The specification will define security plugins for authentication, access control, cryptography, data tagging, and data logging to address threats like unauthorized data access, tampering, and insider threats. It also describes the security model and how DDS and RTPS protocols will support integrated security capabilities.
