IntroductionThis document defines three YANG 1.1
modules: the first defines features and groupings common to both TLS
clients and TLS servers, the second defines a grouping for a generic
TLS client, and the third defines a grouping for a generic TLS server.Any version of TLS may be configured. TLS 1.0
and TLS 1.1 are historic and hence the YANG
"feature" statements enabling them are marked "status obsolete". TLS 1.2
is obsoleted by TLS 1.3
but still in common use, and hence its "feature" statement is marked
"status deprecated". All the feature statements for 1.0, 1.1, and 1.3
have "description" statements stating that it is NOT RECOMMENDED to
enable obsolete protocol versions.It is intended that the YANG groupings will be used by applications
needing to configure TLS client and server protocol stacks. For
instance, these groupings are used to help define the data model
for HTTPS and NETCONF over TLS
based clients and servers in
and respectively.The client and server YANG modules in this document each define one
grouping, which is focused on just TLS-specific configuration, and
specifically avoids any transport-level configuration, such as what
ports to listen-on or connect-to. This affords applications the
opportunity to define their own strategy for how the underlying TCP
connection is established. For instance, applications supporting NETCONF
Call Home could use the "tls-server-grouping"
grouping for the TLS parts it provides, while adding data nodes for the
TCP-level call-home configuration.Relation to other RFCsThis document presents one or more YANG modules
that are part of a collection of RFCs that work together to,
ultimately, enable the configuration of the clients and
servers of both the NETCONF and RESTCONF
protocols.The modules have been defined in a modular fashion to enable
their use by other efforts, some of which are known to be in
progress at the time of this writing, with many more expected
to be defined in time.The normative dependency relationship between the various RFCs in the collection
is presented in the below diagram. The labels in the diagram
represent the primary purpose provided by each RFC. Hyperlinks to
each RFC are provided below the diagram.

Specification LanguageThe key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL
NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED",
"MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as
described in BCP 14
when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here.Adherence to the NMDAThis document is compliant with the Network Management Datastore
Architecture (NMDA) . For instance, as
described in and
, trust anchors and keys
installed during manufacturing are expected to appear
in <operational>.ConventionsVarious examples used in this document use a placeholder
value for binary data that has been base64 encoded (e.g.,
"BASE64VALUE="). This placeholder value is used as real
base64 encoded structures are often many lines long and
hence distracting to the example being presented.The "ietf-tls-common" ModuleThe TLS common model presented in this section contains features
and groupings common to both TLS clients and TLS servers. The
"hello-params-grouping" grouping can be used to configure the list of TLS
algorithms permitted by the TLS client or TLS server. The lists of
algorithms are ordered such that, if multiple algorithms are permitted
by the client, the algorithm that appears first in its list that is also
permitted by the server is used for the TLS transport layer connection.
The ability to restrict the algorithms allowed is provided in this
grouping for TLS clients and TLS servers that are capable of doing so
and may serve to make TLS clients and TLS servers compliant with local
security policies. This model supports both TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 .Thus, in order to support both TLS1.2 and TLS1.3, the cipher-suites
part of the "hello-params-grouping" grouping should include three parameters for
configuring its permitted TLS algorithms, which are: TLS Cipher Suites,
TLS SignatureScheme, TLS Supported Groups. Note that TLS1.2 only uses
TLS Cipher Suites.Data Model OverviewThis section provides an overview of the "ietf-tls-common" module
in terms of its features, identities, and groupings.FeaturesThe following diagram lists all the "feature" statements
defined in the "ietf-tls-common" module:IdentitiesThe following diagram illustrates the relationship amongst the
"identity" statements defined in the "ietf-tls-common" module:Comments:
The diagram shows that there are two base identities.
One base identity is used to specific TLS versions, while
the other is used to specify cipher-suites.
These base identities are "abstract", in the object oriented
programming sense, in that they only define a "class" of things,
rather than a specific thing.
GroupingsThe "ietf-tls-common" module defines the following "grouping" statement:
hello-params-grouping
This grouping is presented in the following subsection.The "hello-params-grouping" GroupingThe following tree diagram illustrates the
"hello-params-grouping" grouping:Comments:
This grouping is used by both the "tls-client-grouping" and the
"tls-server-grouping" groupings defined in
and , respectively.
This grouping enables client and server configurations to
specify the TLS versions and cipher suites that are to be used
when establishing TLS sessions.
The "cipher-suites" list is "ordered-by user".
Protocol-accessible NodesThe following tree diagram lists all the
protocol-accessible nodes defined in the "ietf-tls-common" module,
without expanding the "grouping" statements:The following tree diagram lists all the
protocol-accessible nodes defined in the "ietf-tls-common" module,
with all "grouping" statements expanded, enabling the module's full
structure to be seen:Comments:
Protocol-accessible nodes are those nodes that are accessible
when the module is "implemented", as described in .
The protocol-accessible nodes for the "ietf-tls-common" module
are limited to the RPC "generate-public-key", which is
additionally constrained by the feature "public-key-generation".
The "encrypted-by-choice-grouping" grouping is discussed in
.
The "asymmetric-key-pair-grouping" grouping is discussed in
.

"ietf-tls-client". A high-level overview of the module is provided in
. Examples illustrating the module's use
are provided in Examples. The YANG
module itself is defined in .Data Model OverviewThis section provides an overview of the "ietf-tls-client" module
in terms of its features and groupings.FeaturesThe following diagram lists all the "feature" statements
defined in the "ietf-tls-client" module:GroupingsThe "ietf-tls-client" module defines the following "grouping" statement:
tls-client-grouping
This grouping is presented in the following subsection.The "tls-client-grouping" GroupingThe following tree diagram illustrates the
"tls-client-grouping" grouping:Comments:
The "client-identity" node, which is optionally configured (as client
authentication MAY occur at a higher protocol layer), configures
identity credentials, each enabled by a "feature" statement defined in
.
The "server-authentication" node configures trust anchors for
authenticating the TLS server, with each option enabled by a "feature" statement.
The "hello-params" node, which must be enabled by a feature, configures
parameters for the TLS sessions established by this configuration.
The "keepalives" node, which must be enabled by a feature, configures
a "presence" container for testing the aliveness of the TLS server. The
aliveness-test occurs at the TLS protocol layer.
For the referenced grouping statement(s):
The "local-or-keystore-end-entity-cert-with-key-grouping" grouping is
discussed in .
The "local-or-keystore-asymmetric-key-grouping" grouping is
discussed in .
The "local-or-keystore-symmetric-key-grouping" grouping is

discussed in .
The "local-or-truststore-public-keys-grouping" grouping is

Protocol-accessible NodesThe "ietf-tls-client" module defines only "grouping" statements that are
used by other modules to instantiate protocol-accessible nodes.Example UsageThis section presents two examples showing the "tls-client-grouping"
grouping populated with some data. These examples are effectively the same
except the first configures the client identity using a local key
while the second uses a key configured in a keystore. Both examples
are consistent with the examples presented in Section 2 of and Section 3.2 of .The following configuration example uses local-definitions for the
client identity and server authentication:
ct:subject-public-key-info-format\
BASE64VALUE=ct:rsa-private-key-format

"ietf-tls-server". A high-level overview of the module is provided in
. Examples illustrating the module's use
are provided in Examples. The YANG
module itself is defined in .Data Model OverviewThis section provides an overview of the "ietf-tls-server" module
in terms of its features and groupings.FeaturesThe following diagram lists all the "feature" statements
defined in the "ietf-tls-server" module:GroupingsThe "ietf-tls-server" module defines the following "grouping" statement:
tls-server-grouping
This grouping is presented in the following subsection.The "tls-server-grouping" GroupingThe following tree diagram illustrates the
"tls-server-grouping" grouping:Comments:
The "server-identity" node configures identity credentials, each of
which is enabled by a "feature".
The "client-authentication" node, which is optionally configured (as client
authentication MAY occur at a higher protocol layer), configures trust
anchors for authenticating the TLS client, with each option enabled
by a "feature" statement.
The "hello-params" node, which must be enabled by a feature, configures
parameters for the TLS sessions established by this configuration.
The "keepalives" node, which must be enabled by a feature, configures
a flag enabling the TLS client to test the aliveness of the TLS server,
as well as a "presence" container for testing the aliveness of the TLSi
client. The aliveness-tests occurs at the TLS protocol layer.
For the referenced grouping statement(s):
The "local-or-keystore-end-entity-cert-with-key-grouping" grouping is
discussed in .
The "local-or-keystore-asymmetric-key-grouping" grouping is
discussed in .
The "local-or-keystore-symmetric-key-grouping" grouping is
discussed in .
The "local-or-truststore-public-keys-grouping" grouping is
discussed in .
The "local-or-truststore-certs-grouping" grouping is
discussed in .
The "hello-params-grouping" grouping is discussed in
in this document.
Protocol-accessible NodesThe "ietf-tls-server" module defines only "grouping" statements that are
used by other modules to instantiate protocol-accessible nodes.Example UsageThis section presents two examples showing the "tls-server-grouping"
grouping populated with some data. These examples are effectively the same
except the first configures the server identity using a local key
while the second uses a key configured in a keystore. Both examples
are consistent with the examples presented in Section 2 of and Section 3.2 of .The following configuration example uses local-definitions for the
server identity and client authentication:
ct:subject-public-key-info-format\
BASE64VALUE=ct:rsa-private-key-format
BASE64VALUE=
BASE64VALUE=Identity Cert Issuer #1BASE64VALUE=Identity Cert Issuer #2BASE64VALUE=Application #1BASE64VALUE=Application #2BASE64VALUE=User Act:subject-public-key-info-fo\
rmatBASE64VALUE=User Bct:subject-public-key-info-fo\
rmatBASE64VALUE=
]]>The following configuration example uses keystore-references for the
server identity and truststore-references for client authentication:
from the keystore:
rsa-asymmetric-keyex-rsa-certtrusted-client-ca-certs
trusted-client-ee-certs

that is designed to be accessed via YANG based management
protocols, such as NETCONF and RESTCONF
. Both of these protocols have
mandatory-to-implement secure transport layers (e.g., SSH, TLS)
with mutual authentication.The NETCONF access control model (NACM)
provides the means to restrict access for particular users to a
pre-configured subset of all available protocol operations and
content.This YANG module defines YANG identities, for a public IANA-maintained
registry, and a single protocol-accessible read-only node for the subset
of those identities supported by a server.YANG identities are not security-sensitive, as they are statically
defined in the publicly-accessible YANG module.The protocol-accessible read-only node for the algorithms supported
by a server is mildly sensitive, but not to the extent that special
NACM annotations are needed to prevent read-access to regular
authenticated administrators.This module does not define any writable-nodes, RPCs, actions,
or notifications, and thus the security consideration for such
is not provided here.The "ietf-tls-common" YANG ModuleThe "ietf-tls-common" YANG module defines "grouping" statements

modules that use these groupings.None of the readable data nodes defined in this YANG module are considered sensitive
or vulnerable in network environments. The NACM "default-deny-all" extension
has not been set for any data nodes defined in this module.All the writable data nodes defined by this module may be
considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments.
For instance, any modification to a key or reference to a key
may dramatically alter the implemented security policy. For
this reason, the NACM extension "default-deny-write" has been
set for all data nodes defined in this module.This module does not define any RPCs, actions, or notifications,
and thus the security consideration for such is not provided here.IANA ConsiderationsThe "IETF XML" RegistryThis document registers four URIs in the "ns" subregistry of the

These words are often capitalized. This document defines these words as they should be interpreted in IETF documents. This document specifies an Internet Best Current Practices for the Internet Community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements.AES Galois Counter Mode (GCM) Cipher Suites for TLSThis memo describes the use of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) in Galois/Counter Mode (GCM) as a Transport Layer Security (TLS) authenticated encryption operation. GCM provides both confidentiality and data origin authentication, can be efficiently implemented in hardware for speeds of 10 gigabits per second and above, and is also well-suited to software implementations. This memo defines TLS cipher suites that use AES-GCM with RSA, DSA, and Diffie-Hellman-based key exchange mechanisms. [STANDARDS-TRACK]TLS Elliptic Curve Cipher Suites with SHA-256/384 and AES Galois Counter Mode (GCM)RFC 4492 describes elliptic curve cipher suites for Transport Layer Security (TLS). However, all those cipher suites use HMAC-SHA-1 as their Message Authentication Code (MAC) algorithm. This document describes sixteen new cipher suites for TLS that specify stronger MAC algorithms. Eight use Hashed Message Authentication Code (HMAC) with SHA-256 or SHA-384, and eight use AES in Galois Counter Mode (GCM). This memo provides information for the Internet community.YANG - A Data Modeling Language for the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF)YANG is a data modeling language used to model configuration and state data manipulated by the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF), NETCONF remote procedure calls, and NETCONF notifications. [STANDARDS-TRACK]Using the NETCONF Protocol over Transport Layer Security (TLS) with Mutual X.509 AuthenticationThe Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) provides mechanisms to install, manipulate, and delete the configuration of network devices. This document describes how to use the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol with mutual X.509 authentication to secure the exchange of NETCONF messages. This revision of RFC 5539 documents the new message framing used by NETCONF 1.1 and it obsoletes RFC 5539.The YANG 1.1 Data Modeling LanguageYANG is a data modeling language used to model configuration data, state data, Remote Procedure Calls, and notifications for network management protocols. This document describes the syntax and semantics of version 1.1 of the YANG language. YANG version 1.1 is a maintenance release of the YANG language, addressing ambiguities and defects in the original specification. There are a small number of backward incompatibilities from YANG version 1. This document also specifies the YANG mappings to the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF).Ambiguity of Uppercase vs Lowercase in RFC 2119 Key WordsRFC 2119 specifies common key words that may be used in protocol specifications. This document aims to reduce the ambiguity by clarifying that only UPPERCASE usage of the key words have the defined special meanings.Network Configuration Access Control ModelThe standardization of network configuration interfaces for use with the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) or the RESTCONF protocol requires a structured and secure operating environment that promotes human usability and multi-vendor interoperability. There is a need for standard mechanisms to restrict NETCONF or RESTCONF protocol access for particular users to a preconfigured subset of all available NETCONF or RESTCONF protocol operations and content. This document defines such an access control model.This document obsoletes RFC 6536.Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) Cipher Suites for Transport Layer Security (TLS) Versions 1.2 and EarlierThis document describes key exchange algorithms based on Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) for the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. In particular, it specifies the use of Ephemeral Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDHE) key agreement in a TLS handshake and the use of the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) and Edwards-curve Digital Signature Algorithm (EdDSA) as authentication mechanisms.This document obsoletes RFC 4492.The Transport Layer Security (TLS) Protocol Version 1.3This document specifies version 1.3 of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. TLS allows client/server applications to communicate over the Internet in a way that is designed to prevent eavesdropping, tampering, and message forgery.This document updates RFCs 5705 and 6066, and obsoletes RFCs 5077, 5246, and 6961. This document also specifies new requirements for TLS 1.2 implementations.Informative ReferencesHTTP Over TLSThis memo describes how to use Transport Layer Security (TLS) to secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) connections over the Internet. This memo provides information for the Internet community.The TLS Protocol Version 1.0This document specifies Version 1.0 of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. The TLS protocol provides communications privacy over the Internet. The protocol allows client/server applications to communicate in a way that is designed to prevent eavesdropping, tampering, or message forgery.The IETF XML RegistryThis document describes an IANA maintained registry for IETF standards which use Extensible Markup Language (XML) related items such as Namespaces, Document Type Declarations (DTDs), Schemas, and Resource Description Framework (RDF) Schemas.The Transport Layer Security (TLS) Protocol Version 1.1This document specifies Version 1.1 of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. The TLS protocol provides communications security over the Internet. The protocol allows client/server applications to communicate in a way that is designed to prevent eavesdropping, tampering, or message forgery.The Transport Layer Security (TLS) Protocol Version 1.2This document specifies Version 1.2 of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. The TLS protocol provides communications security over the Internet. The protocol allows client/server applications to communicate in a way that is designed to prevent eavesdropping, tampering, or message forgery. [STANDARDS-TRACK]Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF)The Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) defined in this document provides mechanisms to install, manipulate, and delete the configuration of network devices. It uses an Extensible Markup Language (XML)-based data encoding for the configuration data as well as the protocol messages. The NETCONF protocol operations are realized as remote procedure calls (RPCs). This document obsoletes RFC 4741. [STANDARDS-TRACK]RESTCONF ProtocolThis document describes an HTTP-based protocol that provides a programmatic interface for accessing data defined in YANG, using the datastore concepts defined in the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF).NETCONF Call Home and RESTCONF Call HomeThis RFC presents NETCONF Call Home and RESTCONF Call Home, which enable a NETCONF or RESTCONF server to initiate a secure connection to a NETCONF or RESTCONF client, respectively.YANG Tree DiagramsThis document captures the current syntax used in YANG module tree diagrams. The purpose of this document is to provide a single location for this definition. This syntax may be updated from time to time based on the evolution of the YANG language.Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA)Datastores are a fundamental concept binding the data models written in the YANG data modeling language to network management protocols such as the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) and RESTCONF. This document defines an architectural framework for datastores based on the experience gained with the initial simpler model, addressing requirements that were not well supported in the initial model.
