# NTIA Conformance Checker

This tool determines whether a [SPDX](https://spdx.dev/) software bill of materials (SBOM) document contains the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) ["minimum elements."](https://www.ntia.doc.gov/files/ntia/publications/sbom_minimum_elements_report.pdf) The mapping of the NTIA elements required data fields to the SPDX specification can be found [here](https://spdx.github.io/spdx-spec/v2.3/how-to-use/#k22-mapping-ntia-minimum-elements-to-spdx-fields).

The minimum elements include:
- Supplier Name
- Component Name
- Version of the Component
- Other Unique Identifiers
- Dependency Relationship
- Author of SBOM Data
- Timestamp

As defined by the NTIA, the minimum elements are "the essential pieces that support basic SBOM functionality and will serve as the foundation for an evolving approach to software transparency."

## Installation

*Installation Method #1*: Install from the [Python Package Index (PyPI)](https://pypi.org/project/ntia-conformance-checker/) with `pip`.

`pip install ntia-conformance-checker`

*Installation Method #2*: Install locally. Clone the repo and install dependencies using the following commands:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/spdx/ntia-conformance-checker.git
cd ntia-conformance-checker
pip install .
```

The tool requires Python 3 (3.8+). It is recommended to use a virtual python environment especially
if you are using different versions of python. `virtualenv` is a tool for setting up virtual python environments which
allows you to have all the dependencies for the tool set up in a single environment, or have different environments set
up for testing using different versions of Python.

## CLI Usage

```text
Usage: ntia-checker [OPTIONS]

Options:
--file TEXT The file to be parsed
--output [print|json] Output format [default: print]
-v, --verbose Use verbose printing
--output_path TEXT Filepath for optionally storing output.
-h, --help Show this message and exit.
```

The user can then analyze a particular file:

```bash
ntia-checker --file sbom.json
```

To generate the output in machine-readable JSON, run:

```bash
ntia-checker --file sbom.spdx --output json
```

## Usage as a Library

`ntia-conformance-checker` can also be imported as a library. For example:

```python

import ntia_conformance_checker as ntia

sbom = ntia.SbomChecker("SBOM_filepath")

print(sbom.ntia_minimum_elements_compliant)
```

Additional properties and methods associated with `SbomChecker()` can be found in [`sbom_checker.py`](ntia_conformance_checker/sbom_checker.py).
