GCVE initiative - Global CVE Allocation System
Decentralized vulnerability identifiers
Global CVE Allocation
GCVE is a fresh, open approach to vulnerability identification and numbering: compatible with CVE, designed for distributed publication, and built around autonomous GCVE Numbering Authorities.
The Global CVE (GCVE) allocation system is a new, decentralized approach to vulnerability identification and numbering, designed to improve flexibility, scalability, and autonomy for participating entities.
While remaining compatible with the traditional CVE system, GCVE introduces GCVE Numbering Authorities (GNAs). GNAs are independent entities that can allocate identifiers without relying on a centralised block distribution system or rigid policy enforcement.
