Governance document for the ROS 2 Security Working Group, which advocates for and implements security features in ROS 2.
Overview
The ROS 2 Security Working Group is responsible for advocating and implementing security features within the ROS 2 robotics framework. Its mission is to negotiate a balance between security benefits and technological enablement, aiming for a secure-by-default design that can be customized for targeted security profiles.
Key Features
- Secure-by-default design — Strives to make security the default configuration while allowing customization for specific security profiles
- Subproject ownership — Maintains and governs security-related ROS projects like SROS2 utilities
- Structured governance — Follows clear roles (Member, Reviewer, Approver) and processes defined by the ROS 2 Technical Steering Committee
- Transparent operations — Holds regular public meetings, maintains meeting notes and recordings, and uses open communication channels
- Quality standards — Enforces strict criteria for subprojects including test coverage, linter adherence, and warning-free builds
Philosophy
The Working Group balances security implementation with practical enablement of robotics technology, aiming to make ROS 2 secure by default while remaining adaptable to different use cases.
