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.
