n6sdk: Server-side Software Development Kit for n6

n6 (Network Security Incident eXchange) is a system to collect, manage and distribute security information on a large scale (see: http://www.cert.pl/projekty/langswitch_lang/en). Distribution is realized through a simple REST API that authorized users can use to receive various types of data, in particular information on threats to their networks.

The n6sdk library was created to foster exchange of information across organizations. The library makes it easier to implement an n6-like REST API that provides access to your own source of security-related data.
