security_scan
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-**TODO:**
+Security Scanning, is a project to insure security compliance and vulnerability
+checks, as part of an automated CI / CD platform delivery process.
+
+The project makes use of the existing SCAP format[6] to perform deep scanning of
+NFVi nodes, to insure they are hardened and free of known CVE reported vulnerabilities.
+
+The SCAP content itself, is then consumed and run using an upstream opensource tool
+known as OpenSCAP[7].
+
+The OPNFV Security Group have developed the code that will called by the OPNFV Jenkins
+build platform, to perform a complete scan. Resulting reports are then copied to the
+OPNFV functest dashboard.
+
+The current work flow is as follows:
+ * Jenkins Build Initiated
+ * security_scan.py script is called, and a config file is passed to the script as
+ an argument.
+ * The IP addresses of each NFVi node (compute / control), is gathered.
+ * A scan profile is matched to the node type.
+ * The OpenSCAP application is remotely installed onto each target node gathered
+ on step 3, using upstream packaging (rpm and .deb).
+ * A scan is made against each node gathered within step 3.
+ * HTML Reports are downloaded for rendering on a dashboard.
+ * If the config file value 'clean' is set to 'True' then the application installed in
+ step 5 is removed, and all reports created at step 6 are deleted.
+At present, only the Apex installer is supported, with support for other installers due
+within D-release.
