We’re thrilled to announce the release of CycloneDX v1.7, bringing enhanced transparency, trust and governance to software supply chains everywhere. With this release, the community takes a big leap forward in three key areas: Cryptographic Assurance (CBOM) — v1.7 introduces a standardized list of cryptographic algorithm families and a full list of elliptic curves, giving teams the visibility needed for audits, compliance and PQC (post-quantum readiness). Data Provenance & Citations — Now you can formally trace where BOM data came from, who enriched it, and how it was transformed. This means better auditability and clearer chain of custody. Intellectual Property Transparency — For the first time, BOMs can express not only “what” components are in use, but also “which” patents and patent families apply, bridging legal, business, and technical considerations. What this means for you: - Greater insight and control over your software supply chain risks - Better alignment of BOMs with legal/regulatory requirements - A stronger foundation for the future — v1.7 sets the stage for v2.0 and the next wave of API-first transparency Alongside the release, we’re publishing three new guides: - Authoritative Guide to SBOM, 3rd Edition - Authoritative Guide to CBOM, 2nd Edition - Authoritative Guide to MBOM, 1st Edition A huge thank you to all our working groups, our contributors, and the community for making this milestone possible.
