ROS 2 Security Working Group

The Security Working Group's mission is to advocate for and implement security features within ROS 2. The working group negotiates a balance between the benefits of security and the enablement of technology, striving for a secure-by-default design which can be customized to suit a targeted security profile.

This document outlines the governance of the ROS 2 Security Working Group. Updates to this document will be handled in the same manner as other project updates governed by the Working Group.

Subprojects

A significant portion of the Security Working Group's mission is achieved by maintaining ROS projects. The following projects are owned by this Working Group:
