I2NSF Consumer-Facing Interface YANG Data Model
draft-ietf-i2nsf-consumer-facing-interface-dm-02

Abstract

This document describes a YANG data model for the Consumer-Facing Interface between an Interface to Network Security Functions (I2NSF) User and Security Controller in an I2NSF system in a Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) environment. The data model is required for enabling different users of a given I2NSF system to define, manage, and monitor security policies for specific flows within an administrative domain.

Table of Contents

1. Introduction

This document provides a YANG [RFC6020] data model that defines the required data for the Consumer-Facing Interface between an Interface to Network Security Functions (I2NSF) User and Security Controller in an I2NSF system [i2nsf-framework] in a Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) environment. The data model is required for enabling different users of a given I2NSF system to define, manage and monitor security policies for specific flows within an administrative domain. This document defines a YANG data model based on the information model of I2NSF Consumer-Facing Interface [client-facing-inf-im].

Data models are defined at a lower level of abstraction and provide many details. They provide details about the implementation of a protocol’s specification, e.g., rules that explain how to map managed objects onto lower-level protocol constructs. Since conceptual models can be implemented in different ways, multiple data models can be derived by a single information model.

The efficient and flexible provisioning of network functions by NFV leads to a rapid advance in the network industry. As practical applications, network security functions (NSFs), such as firewall, intrusion detection system (IDS)/intrusion protection system (IPS), and attack mitigation, can also be provided as virtual network functions (VNF) in the NFV system. By the efficient virtual technology, these VNFs might be automatically provisioned and dynamically migrated based on real-time security requirements. This document presents a YANG data model to implement security functions based on NFV.

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 RFC 2119 [RFC3444].

3. Terminology

This document uses the terminology described in [i2nsf-terminology][client-facing-inf-im][client-facing-inf-req].

4. Data Modeling for Security Policies for Consumer-Facing Interface

The main objective of this data model is to fully transform the information model [client-facing-inf-im] into a YANG data model that can be used for delivering control and management messages via the Consumer-Facing Interface between an I2NSF User and Security Controller for the I2NSF User's high-level security policies.

The semantics of the data model must be aligned with the information model of the Consumer-Facing Interface. The transformation of the information model was performed so that this YANG data model can facilitate the efficient delivery of the control or management messages.

This data model is designed to support the I2NSF framework that can be extended according to the security needs. In other words, the model design is independent of the content and meaning of specific policies as well as the implementation approach. This document suggests a VoIP/VoLTE security service as a use case for policy rule generation.

Multi-tenancy in this document enables multiple administrative domains in order to manage application resources. An Enterprise organization may have multiple tenants or departments such as human resources (HR), finance, and legal departments. Thus, we need an object which defines a set of permissions assigned to a user in an organization that wants to manage its own Security Policies. You can think of it as a way to assign policy users to a job function or a set of permissions within the organization. The policy-role object SHALL have Name, Date and access-profile to grant or deny permissions for the perpose of security policy management.

5. Use Case: Policy Instance Example for VoIP/VoLTE Security Services

A common scenario for VoIP/VoLTE policy enforcement could be that a malicious call is made to a benign user of any telecommunication company. For example, imagine a case wherea company "A" employs a hacker with a malicious attempt to hack a user's phone with malware. The company "A" is located in a country, such as Africa, and uses the user's hacked phone to call the company. The hacked user is unaware of the company "A" so complains about the international call that was made to the company "B", which is the user's telecommunications company. The company "A" charges the company "B" for the international call. The company "B" cannot charge the user for the call, and has no choice but to pay the company "A". The following shows the example data tree model for the VoIP/VoLTE services. Multi-tenancy, endpoint groups, threat prevention, and telemetry data components are general part of the tree model, so we can just modify the policy instance in order to generate and enforce high-level policies. The policy-calendar can act as a scheduler to set the star and end time to block calls which uses suspicious ids, or calls from other countries.

6. Example XML Output for Various Use Cases

In this section, we present an XML example for various use cases. Here, we show the policy examples that can be delivered through consumer-facing interface. For now, the considered use cases are: VoIP security service, DDoS-attack mitigation, time-based firewall, and web-filter.

6.1. Case 1: VoIP Security Service

The first example is a VoIP policy. Here, we are going to drop calls commin from a country with an Ip from South Africa that is classified as malicious. The below figure shows the XML document generated by using the YANG data tree as shown in the previous section.

6.2. Case 2: DDoS-Attack Mitigation

The second example is a DDoS-attack mitigation policy. Here, the time information is not set because the service provided by the network should be maintained at all times. If the packets sent by any sources are more than the set threshold, then the admin can set the percentage of the packets to be dropped to safely maintain the service.

6.3. Case 3: Time-Based Firewall

The third example is a time-based firewall policy. Consider a Smart Factory which operates from 9 am to 7 pm during the working days. During these hours, only the admin responsible for operating the factory is allow to access a control system. The below figure show that any access during outside the operating hours is rejected.

6.4. Case 4: Time-Based Web-Filter

The last example is a time-based web-filter policy. Let us suppose that a owner of an enterprise wants to forbid access to a specific set of websites, such as Facebook, Youtube, Instagram, etc. The below figure shows an example policy an admin of a sector or department can deploy.

6.5. Case 5: Threat-Feed Configuration

The threat-feed container described above can convey various sources containing information concerning security threats. One good example can be STIX. STIX (Structured Threat Information Expression) is a language and serialization format used to exchange cyber threat intelligence (CTI). It is a lanauge to describe threat information in a standardized format to enable exchanging and sharing them. The blow figure show the necessary configuration, which can be generated and delivered by consumer-facing interface.

      ...
      ...
        <configuration-tf>
            <threat-feed>
                <threat-feed-id>02</threat-feed-id>
                <threat-feed-name>stix</threat-feed-name>
                <threat-feed-date>2018.10.25/11:25:32</threat-feed-date>
                <threat-feed-type>ip-address</threat-feed-type>
                <feed-server>105.134.171.24</feed-server>
                <feed-priority>ip-address</feed-priority>
            </threat-feed>
        </configuration-tf>
    ...
    ...
    

Figure 9: An XML Example for Threat-feed Configuration

Usually, STIX can be obtained from a TAXII server which contains a collection of cyber threat information formatted in STIX. Here, the "feed-server" leaf contains the ip-address of the TAXII server, so that recent threat related information can be collected when the configuration is set.

7. Security Considerations

The data model for the I2NSF Consumer-Facing Interface is derived from the I2NSF Consumer-Facing Interface Information Model [client-facing-inf-im], so the same security considerations with the information model should be included in this document. The data model needs to support a mechanism to protect Consumer-Facing Interface to Security Controller.
