1. Introduction

As the industry becomes more sophisticated and network devices (e.g., Internet of Things, Self-driving vehicles, and VoIP/VoLTE smartphones), service providers have a lot of problems described in [RFC8192]. To resolve these problems, [draft-ietf-i2nsf-capability] specifies the information model of the capabilities of Network Security Functions (NSFs).

This document provides a YANG data model [RFC6020][RFC7950] that defines the capabilities of NSFs to centrally manage the capabilities of those security devices. The security devices can register their own capabilities into a Network Operator Management (Mgmt) System (i.e., Security Controller) with this YANG data model through the registration interface [RFC8329]. With the capabilities of those security devices maintained centrally, those security devices can be more easily managed [RFC8329]. This YANG data model is based on the information model for I2NSF NSF capabilities [draft-ietf-i2nsf-capability].

This YANG data model uses an "Event-Condition-Action" (ECA) policy model that is used as the basis for the design of I2NSF Policy as described in [RFC8329] and [draft-ietf-i2nsf-capability]. The "ietf-i2nsf-capability" YANG module defined in this document provides the following features:

2. Requirements Language

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119][RFC8174].

3. Terminology

This document uses the terminology described in [draft-ietf-i2nsf-capability][RFC8431]. Especially, the following terms are from [RFC3444]:

3.1. Tree Diagrams

A simplified graphical representation of the data model is used in this document. The meaning of the symbols in these diagrams is referred from [RFC8340].

4. Overview

This section provides as overview of how the YANG data model can be used in the I2NSF framework described in [RFC8329]. Figure 1 shows the capabilities (e.g., firewall and web filter) of NSFs in the I2NSF Framework. As shown in this figure, an NSF Developer's Management System can register NSFs and the capabilities that the network security device can support. To register NSFs in this way, the Developer's Management System utilizes this standardized capability YANG data model through the I2NSF Registration Interface [draft-ietf-i2nsf-registration-interface-dm]. That is, this Registration Interface uses the YANG module described in this document to describe the capability of a network security function that is registered with the Security Controller. With the capabilities of those network security devices maintained centrally, those security devices can be more easily managed, which can resolve many of the problems described in [RFC8192].

In Figure 1, a new NSF at a Developer's Management Systems has capabilities of Firewall (FW) and Web Filter (WF), which are denoted as (Cap = {FW, WF}), to support Event-Condition-Action (ECA) policy rules where 'E', 'C', and 'A' mean "Event", "Condition", and "Action", respectively. The condition involves IPv4 or IPv6 datagrams, and the action includes "Allow" and "Deny" for those datagrams.

Note that the NSF-Facing Interface is used to configure the security policy rules of the generic network security functions [draft-ietf-i2nsf-nsf-facing-interface-dm], and The configuration of advanced security functions over the NSF-Facing Interface is used to configure the security policy rules of advanced network security functions (e.g., anti-virus and anti-DDoS attack), respectively, according to the capabilities of NSFs registered with the I2NSF Framework.

Figure 2: YANG Tree Diagram of Capabilities of Network Security Functions

Time capabilities are used to specify the capabilities which describe when to execute the I2NSF policy rule. The time capabilities are defined in terms of absolute time and periodic time. The absolute time means the exact time to start or end. The periodic time means repeated time like day, week, or month. See Section 3.4.6 (Capability Algebra) in [draft-ietf-i2nsf-capability] for more information about the time-based condition (e.g., time period) in the capability algebra.

Event capabilities are used to specify the capabilities that describe the event that would trigger the evaluation of the condition clause of the I2NSF Policy Rule. The defined event capabilities are system event and system alarm. See Section 3.1 (Design Principles and ECA Policy Model Overview) in [draft-ietf-i2nsf-capability] for more information about the event in the ECA policy model.

Condition capabilities are used to specify capabilities of a set of attributes, features, and/or values that are to be compared with a set of known attributes, features, and/or values in order to determine whether or not the set of actions in that (imperative) I2NSF policy rule can be executed. The condition capabilities are classified in terms of generic network security functions and advanced network security functions. The condition capabilities of generic network security functions are defined as IPv4 capability, IPv6 capability, TCP capability, UDP capability, and ICMP capability. The condition capabilities of advanced network security functions are defined as anti-virus capability, anti-DDoS capability, IPS capability, HTTP capability, and VoIP/VoLTE capability. See Section 3.1 (Design Principles and ECA Policy Model Overview) in [draft-ietf-i2nsf-capability] for more information about the condition in the ECA policy model. Also, see Section 3.4.3 (I2NSF Condition Clause Operator Types) in [draft-ietf-i2nsf-capability] for more information about the operator types in an I2NSF condition clause.

Action capabilities are used to specify the capabilities that describe the control and monitoring aspects of flow-based NSFs when the event and condition clauses are satisfied. The action capabilities are defined as ingress-action capability, egress-action capability, and log-action capability. See Section 3.1 (Design Principles and ECA Policy Model Overview) in [draft-ietf-i2nsf-capability] for more information about the action in the ECA policy model. Also, see Section 7.2 (NSF-Facing Flow Security Policy Structure) in [RFC8329] for more information about the ingress and egress actions. In addition, see Section 9.1 (Flow-Based NSF Capability Characterization) for more information about logging at NSFs.

Resolution strategy capabilities are used to specify the capabilities that describe conflicts that occur between the actions of the same or different policy rules that are matched and contained in this particular NSF. The resolution strategy capabilities are defined as First Matching Rule (FMR), Last Matching Rule (LMR), Prioritized Matching Rule (PMR), Prioritized Matching Rule with Errors (PMRE), and Prioritized Matching Rule with No Errors (PMRN). See Section 3.4.2 (Conflict, Resolution Strategy and Default Action) in [draft-ietf-i2nsf-capability] for more information about the resolution strategy.

Default action capabilities are used to specify the capabilities that describe how to execute I2NSF policy rules when no rule matches a packet. The default action capabilities are defined as pass, drop, alert, and mirror. See Section 3.4.2 (Conflict, Resolution Strategy and Default Action) in [draft-ietf-i2nsf-capability] for more information about the default action.

IPsec method capabilities are used to specify capabilities of how to support an Internet Key Exchange (IKE) for the security communication. The default action capabilities are defined as IKE or IKE-less. See [draft-ietf-i2nsf-sdn-ipsec-flow-protection] for more information about the SDN-based IPsec flow protection in I2NSF.

Figure 3: YANG Data Module of I2NSF Capability

7. IANA Considerations

This document requests IANA to register the following URI in the "IETF XML Registry" [RFC3688]:

This document requests IANA to register the following YANG module in the "YANG Module Names" registry [RFC7950][RFC8525].

8. Security Considerations

The YANG module specified in this document defines a data schema designed to be accessed through network management protocols such as NETCONF [RFC6241] or RESTCONF [RFC8040]. The lowest NETCONF layer is the secure transport layer, and the required transport secure transport is Secure Shell (SSH) [RFC6242]. The lowest RESTCONF layer is HTTPS, and the required transport secure transport is TLS [RFC8446].

The NETCONF access control model [RFC8341] provides a means of restricting access to specific NETCONF or RESTCONF users to a preconfigured subset of all available NETCONF or RESTCONF protocol operations and content.

There are a number of data nodes defined in this YANG module that are writable, creatable, and deletable (i.e., config true, which is the default). These data nodes may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. Write operations to these data nodes could have a negative effect on network and security operations.

Some of the readable data nodes in this YANG module may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus important to control read access (e.g., via get, get-config, or notification) to these data nodes. These are the subtrees and data nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability:
