Introduction This document defines a YANG 1.1 [RFC7950] module having the following characteristics: Provide a central truststore for storing raw public keys and/or certificates. Provide support for storing named bags of raw public keys and/or named bags of certificates. Provide types that can be used to reference raw public keys or certificates stored in the central truststore. Provide groupings that enable raw public keys and certificates to be configured locally or as references truststore instances. Watsen Expires 15 June 2023 [Page 3] Internet-Draft A YANG Data Model for a Truststore December 2022 Enable the truststore to be instantiated in other data models, in addition to or in lieu of the central truststore instance. 1.1. Relation to other RFCs This document presents one or more YANG modules [RFC7950] that are part of a collection of RFCs that work together to, ultimately, enable the configuration of both the clients and servers of both the NETCONF [RFC6241] and RESTCONF [RFC8040] protocols. The normative dependency relationship between the various RFCs in this 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. crypto-types ^ ^ / \ / \ truststore keystore ^ ^ ^ ^ | +---------+ | | | | | | | +------------+ | tcp-client-server | / | | ^ ^ ssh-client-server | | | | ^ tls-client-server | | | ^ ^ http-client-server | | | | | ^ | | | +-----+ +---------+ | | | | | | | | +-----------|--------|--------------+ | | | | | | | | +-----------+ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | netconf-client-server restconf-client-server Watsen Expires 15 June 2023 [Page 4] Internet-Draft A YANG Data Model for a Truststore December 2022 +======================+===========================================+ |Label in Diagram | Originating RFC | +======================+===========================================+ |crypto-types | [I-D.ietf-netconf-crypto-types] | +----------------------+-------------------------------------------+ |truststore | [I-D.ietf-netconf-trust-anchors] | +----------------------+-------------------------------------------+ |keystore | [I-D.ietf-netconf-keystore] | +----------------------+-------------------------------------------+ |tcp-client-server | [I-D.ietf-netconf-tcp-client-server] | +----------------------+-------------------------------------------+ |ssh-client-server | [I-D.ietf-netconf-ssh-client-server] | +----------------------+-------------------------------------------+ |tls-client-server | [I-D.ietf-netconf-tls-client-server] | +----------------------+-------------------------------------------+ |http-client-server | [I-D.ietf-netconf-http-client-server] | +----------------------+-------------------------------------------+ |netconf-client-server | [I-D.ietf-netconf-netconf-client-server] | +----------------------+-------------------------------------------+ |restconf-client-server| [I-D.ietf-netconf-restconf-client-server] | +----------------------+-------------------------------------------+ Table 1: Label to RFC Mapping 1.2. Specification Language The 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 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here. 1.3. Adherence to the NMDA This document is compliant with the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) [RFC8342]. For instance, trust anchors installed during manufacturing (e.g., for trusted well-known services), are expected to appear in (see Section 3). 1.4. Conventions Various 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. Watsen Expires 15 June 2023 [Page 5] Internet-Draft A YANG Data Model for a Truststore December 2022 2. The "ietf-truststore" Module This section defines a YANG 1.1 [RFC7950] module called "ietf- truststore". A high-level overview of the module is provided in Section 2.1. Examples illustrating the module's use are provided in Examples (Section 2.2). The YANG module itself is defined in Section 2.3. 2.1. Data Model Overview This section provides an overview of the "ietf-truststore" module in terms of its features, typedefs, groupings, and protocol-accessible nodes. 2.1.1. Features The following diagram lists all the "feature" statements defined in the "ietf-truststore" module: Features: +-- central-truststore-supported +-- local-definitions-supported +-- certificates +-- public-keys The diagram above uses syntax that is similar to but not defined in [RFC8340]. 2.1.2. Typedefs The following diagram lists the "typedef" statements defined in the "ietf-truststore" module: Typedefs: leafref +-- certificate-bag-ref +-- certificate-ref +-- public-key-bag-ref +-- public-key-ref The diagram above uses syntax that is similar to but not defined in [RFC8340]. Comments: * All the typedefs defined in the "ietf-truststore" module extend the base "leafref" type defined in [RFC7950]. Watsen Expires 15 June 2023 [Page 6] Internet-Draft A YANG Data Model for a Truststore December 2022 * The leafrefs refer to certificates, public keys, and bags in the central truststore, when this module is implemented. * These typedefs are provided as an aid to downstream modules that import the "ietf-truststore" module. 2.1.3. Groupings The "ietf-truststore" module defines the following "grouping" statements: * local-or-truststore-certs-grouping * local-or-truststore-public-keys-grouping * truststore-grouping Each of these groupings are presented in the following subsections. 2.1.3.1. The "local-or-truststore-certs-grouping" Grouping The following tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrates the "local-or- truststore-certs-grouping" grouping: grouping local-or-truststore-certs-grouping: +-- (local-or-truststore) +--:(local) {local-definitions-supported}? | +-- local-definition | +-- certificate* [name] | +-- name? string | +---u ct:trust-anchor-cert-grouping +--:(truststore) {central-truststore-supported,certificates}? +-- truststore-reference? ts:certificate-bag-ref Comments: * The "local-or-truststore-certs-grouping" grouping is provided soley as convenience to downstream modules that wish to offer an option whether a bag of certificates can be defined locally or as a reference to a bag in the truststore. * A "choice" statement is used to expose the various options. Each option is enabled by a "feature" statement. Additional "case" statements MAY be augmented in if, e.g., there is a need to reference a bag in an alternate location. * For the "local-definition" option, the "certificate" node uses the "trust-anchor-cert-grouping" grouping discussed in Section 2.1.4.7 of [I-D.ietf-netconf-crypto-types]. Watsen Expires 15 June 2023 [Page 7] Internet-Draft A YANG Data Model for a Truststore December 2022 * For the "truststore" option, the "truststore-reference" is an instance of the "certificate-bag-ref" discussed in Section 2.1.2. 2.1.3.2. The "local-or-truststore-public-keys-grouping" Grouping The following tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrates the "local-or- truststore-public-keys-grouping" grouping: grouping local-or-truststore-public-keys-grouping: +-- (local-or-truststore) +--:(local) {local-definitions-supported}? | +-- local-definition | +-- public-key* [name] | +-- name? string | +---u ct:public-key-grouping +--:(truststore) {central-truststore-supported,public-keys}? +-- truststore-reference? ts:public-key-bag-ref Comments: * The "local-or-truststore-public-keys-grouping" grouping is provided soley as convenience to downstream modules that wish to offer an option whether a bag of public keys can be defined locally or as a reference to a bag in the truststore. * A "choice" statement is used to expose the various options. Each option is enabled by a "feature" statement. Additional "case" statements MAY be augmented in if, e.g., there is a need to reference a bag in an alternate location. * For the "local-definition" option, the "public-key" node uses the "public-key-grouping" grouping discussed in Section 2.1.4.4 of [I-D.ietf-netconf-crypto-types]. * For the "truststore" option, the "truststore-reference" is an instance of the "certificate-bag-ref" discussed in Section 2.1.2. 2.1.3.3. The "truststore-grouping" Grouping The following tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrates the "truststore- grouping" grouping: Watsen Expires 15 June 2023 [Page 8] Internet-Draft A YANG Data Model for a Truststore December 2022 grouping truststore-grouping: +-- certificate-bags {certificates}? | +-- certificate-bag* [name] | +-- name? string | +-- description? string | +-- certificate* [name] | +-- name? string | +---u ct:trust-anchor-cert-grouping +-- public-key-bags {public-keys}? +-- public-key-bag* [name] +-- name? string +-- description? string +-- public-key* [name] +-- name? string +---u ct:public-key-grouping Comments: * The "truststore-grouping" grouping defines a truststore instance as being composed of certificates and/or public keys, both of which are enabled by "feature" statements. The structure supporting certificates and public keys is essentially the same, having an outer list of "bags" containing in inner list of objects (certificates or public keys). The bags enable trust anchors serving a common purpose to be grouped and referenced together. * For certificates, each certificate is defined by the "trust- anchor-cert-grouping" grouping Section 2.1.4.7 of [I-D.ietf-netconf-crypto-types]. Thus the "cert-data" node is a CMS structure that can be composed of a chain of one or more certificates. Additionally, the "certificate-expiration" notification enables the server to alert clients when certificates are nearing or have already expired. * For public keys, each public key is defined by the "public-key- grouping" grouping Section 2.1.4.4 of [I-D.ietf-netconf-crypto-types]. Thus the "public-key" node can be one of any number of structures specified by the "public-key- format" identity node. 2.1.4. Protocol-accessible Nodes The following tree diagram [RFC8340] lists all the protocol- accessible nodes defined in the "ietf-truststore" module, without expanding the "grouping" statements: Watsen Expires 15 June 2023 [Page 9] Internet-Draft A YANG Data Model for a Truststore December 2022 module: ietf-truststore +--rw truststore {central-truststore-supported}? +---u truststore-grouping The following tree diagram [RFC8340] lists all the protocol- accessible nodes defined in the "ietf-truststore" module, with all "grouping" statements expanded, enabling the truststore's full structure to be seen: module: ietf-truststore +--rw truststore {central-truststore-supported}? +--rw certificate-bags {certificates}? | +--rw certificate-bag* [name] | +--rw name string | +--rw description? string | +--rw certificate* [name] | +--rw name string | +--rw cert-data trust-anchor-cert-cms | +---n certificate-expiration | {certificate-expiration-notification}? | +-- expiration-date yang:date-and-time +--rw public-key-bags {public-keys}? +--rw public-key-bag* [name] +--rw name string +--rw description? string +--rw public-key* [name] +--rw name string +--rw public-key-format identityref +--rw public-key binary Comments: * Protocol-accessible nodes are those nodes that are accessible when the module is "implemented", as described in Section 5.6.5 of [RFC7950]. * The protcol-accessible nodes for the "ietf-truststore" module are an instance of the "truststore-grouping" grouping discussed in Section 2.1.3.3. * The top-level node "truststore" is additionally constrained by the feature "central-truststore-supported". * The "truststore-grouping" grouping is discussed in Section 2.1.3.3. Watsen Expires 15 June 2023 [Page 10] Internet-Draft A YANG Data Model for a Truststore December 2022 * The reason for why the "truststore-grouping" exists separate from the protocol-accessible nodes definition is to enable instances of the truststore to be instantiated in other locations, as may be needed or desired by some modules. 2.2. Example Usage The examples in this section are encoded using XML, such as might be the case when using the NETCONF protocol. Other encodings MAY be used, such as JSON when using the RESTCONF protocol. 2.2.1. A Truststore Instance This section presents an example illustrating trust anchors in , as per Section 2.1.4. Please see Section 3 for an example illustrating built-in values in . The example contained in this section defines eight bags of trust anchors. There are four certificate-based bags and four public key based bags. The following diagram provides an overview of the contents in the example: Certificate Bags +-- Trust anchor certs for authenticating a set of remote servers +-- End entity certs for authenticating a set of remote servers +-- Trust anchor certs for authenticating a set of remote clients +-- End entity certs for authenticating a set of remote clients Public Key Bags +-- SSH keys to authenticate a set of remote SSH server +-- SSH keys to authenticate a set of remote SSH clients +-- Raw public keys to authenticate a set of remote SSH server +-- Raw public keys to authenticate a set of remote SSH clients Following is the full example: =============== NOTE: '\' line wrapping per RFC 8792 ================ trusted-server-ca-certs Watsen Expires 15 June 2023 [Page 11] Internet-Draft A YANG Data Model for a Truststore December 2022 Trust anchors (i.e. CA certs) used to authenticate server certificates.

The "Local or Truststore" Groupings This section illustrates the various "local-or-truststore" groupings defined in the "ietf-truststore" module, specifically the "local-or- truststore-certs-grouping" (Section 2.1.3.1) and "local-or- truststore-public-keys-grouping" (Section 2.1.3.2) groupings. These examples assume the existence of an example module called "ex- truststore-usage" having the namespace "http://example.com/ns/ example-truststore-usage". The ex-truststore-usage module is first presented using tree diagrams [RFC8340], followed by an instance example illustrating all the "local-or-truststore" groupings in use, followed by the YANG module itself. The following tree diagram illustrates "ex-truststore-usage" without expanding the "grouping" statements: module: ex-truststore-usage +--rw truststore-usage +--rw cert* [name] | +--rw name string | +---u ts:local-or-truststore-certs-grouping +--rw public-key* [name] +--rw name string +---u ts:local-or-truststore-public-keys-grouping The following tree diagram illustrates the "ex-truststore-usage" module, with all "grouping" statements expanded, enabling the truststore's full structure to be seen: Watsen Expires 15 June 2023 [Page 16] Internet-Draft A YANG Data Model for a Truststore December 2022 module: ex-truststore-usage +--rw truststore-usage +--rw cert* [name] | +--rw name string | +--rw (local-or-truststore) | +--:(local) {local-definitions-supported}? | | +--rw local-definition | | +--rw certificate* [name] | | +--rw name string | | +--rw cert-data | | | trust-anchor-cert-cms | | +---n certificate-expiration | | {certificate-expiration-notification}? | | +-- expiration-date yang:date-and-time | +--:(truststore) | {central-truststore-supported,certificates}? | +--rw truststore-reference? ts:certificate-bag-ref +--rw public-key* [name] +--rw name string +--rw (local-or-truststore) +--:(local) {local-definitions-supported}? | +--rw local-definition | +--rw public-key* [name] | +--rw name string | +--rw public-key-format identityref | +--rw public-key binary +--:(truststore) {central-truststore-supported,public-keys}? +--rw truststore-reference? ts:public-key-bag-ref The following example provides two equivalent instances of each grouping, the first being a reference to a truststore and the second being locally-defined. The instance having a reference to a truststore is consistent with the truststore defined in Section 2.2.1. The two instances are equivalent, as the locally- defined instance example contains the same values defined by the truststore instance referenced by its sibling example. =============== NOTE: '\' line wrapping per RFC 8792 ================ Watsen Expires 15 June 2023 [Page 17] Internet-Draft A YANG Data Model for a Truststore December 2022 example 1a trusted-client-ca-certs example 1b my-trusted-client-ca-certs Client Identity Issuer #1 BASE64VALUE= Client Identity Issuer #2 BASE64VALUE= example 2a trusted-ssh-public-keys example 2b trusted-ssh-public-keys corp-fw1 ct:ssh-public-key-format BASE64VALUE= corp-fw2 ct:ssh-public-key-format BASE64VALUE= Watsen Expires 15 June 2023 [Page 18] Internet-Draft A YANG Data Model for a Truststore December 2022 Following is the "ex-truststore-usage" module's YANG definition: module ex-truststore-usage { yang-version 1.1; namespace "http://example.com/ns/example-truststore-usage"; prefix etu; import ietf-truststore { prefix ts; reference "RFC BBBB: A YANG Data Model for a Truststore"; } organization "Example Corporation"; contact "Author: YANG Designer "; description "This module illustrates notable groupings defined in the 'ietf-truststore' module."; revision 2022-12-12 { description "Initial version"; reference "RFC BBBB: A YANG Data Model for a Truststore"; } container truststore-usage { description "An illustration of the various truststore groupings."; list cert { key "name"; leaf name { type string; description "An arbitrary name for this cert."; } uses ts:local-or-truststore-certs-grouping; description "An cert that may be configured locally or be Watsen Expires 15 June 2023 [Page 19] Internet-Draft A YANG Data Model for a Truststore December 2022 a reference to a cert in the truststore."; } list public-key { key "name"; leaf name { type string; description "An arbitrary name for this cert."; } uses ts:local-or-truststore-public-keys-grouping; description "An public key that may be configured locally or be a reference to a public key in the truststore."; } } } 2.3.

Support for Built-in Trust Anchors In some implementations, a server may define some built-in trust anchors. For instance, there may be built-in trust anchors enabling the server to securely connect to well-known services (e.g., an SZTP [RFC8572] bootstrap server) or public CA certificates to connect to arbitrary services using public PKI. Built-in trust anchors are expected to be set by a vendor-specific process. Any ability for operators to modify built-in trust anchors is outside the scope of this document. As built-in trust anchors are provided by the server, they are present in (and [I-D.ma-netmod-with-system], if used). The example below illustrates what the truststore in might look like for a server in its factory default state. Watsen Expires 15 June 2023 [Page 27] Internet-Draft A YANG Data Model for a Truststore December 2022 Built-In Manufacturer Trust Anchor Certificates Certificates built into the device for authenticating manufacturer-signed objects, such as TLS server certificates, vouchers, etc. Manufacturer Root CA Cert BASE64VALUE= Built-In Public Trust Anchor Certificates Certificates built into the device for authenticating certificates issued by public certificate authorities, such as the end-entity certificate for web servers. Public Root CA Cert 1 BASE64VALUE= Public Root CA Cert 2 BASE64VALUE= Public Root CA Cert 3 BASE64VALUE= In order for the built-in bags of trust anchors and/or their trust anchors to be referenced by configuration, they MUST first be copied into . Watsen Expires 15 June 2023 [Page 28] Internet-Draft A YANG Data Model for a Truststore December 2022 The built-in bags and/or their trust anchors MUST be copied into using the same "key" values if it is desired for the server to maintain/update them (e.g., a software update may update a bag of trusted public CA certificates used for TLS-client connections). Built-in bags and/or their trust anchors MAY be copied into other parts of the configuration but, by doing so, they lose their association to the built-in entries and any assurances afforded by knowing they are/were built-in. The built-in bags and/or their trust anchors are immutable by configuration operations. Servers MUST ignore attempts to modify any aspect of built-in bags and/or their trust anchors from . The following example illustrates how a single built-in public CA certificate from the previous example has been propagated to : Built-In Public Trust Anchor Certificates Certificates built into the device for authenticating certificates issued by public certificate authorities, such as the end-entity certificate for web servers. Only the subset of the certificates that are referenced by other configuration nodes need to be copied. For instance, only "Public Root CA Cert 3" is present here. No new certificates can be added, nor existing certificate values changed. Missing certificates have no effect on "operational" when the configuration is applied. Public Root CA Cert 3 BASE64VALUE= Watsen Expires 15 June 2023 [Page 29] Internet-Draft A YANG Data Model for a Truststore December 2022 4. Security Considerations 4.1. Security of Data at Rest The YANG module defined in this document defines a mechanism called a "truststore" that, by its name, suggests that its contents are protected from unauthorized modification. Security controls for the API (i.e., data in motion) are discussed in Section 4.3, but controls for the data at rest (e.g., on disk) cannot be specified by the YANG module. In order to satisfy the expectations of a "truststore", it is RECOMMENDED that implementations ensure that the truststore contents are protected from unauthorized modifications when at rest. 4.2. Unconstrained Public Key Usage This module enables the configuration of public keys without constraints on their usage, e.g., what operations the key is allowed to be used for (encryption, verification, both). Trust anchors configured via this module are implicitly trusted to validate certification paths that may include any name, be used for any purpose and etc., subject to constraints imposed by an intermediate CA or by context in which the truststore is used. Implementations are free to use alternative or auxiliary structures and validation rules to define constraints that limit the applicability of any trust anchor. 4.3. The "ietf-truststore" YANG Module The YANG module defined in this document is designed to be accessed via YANG based management protocols, such as NETCONF [RFC6241] and RESTCONF [RFC8040]. Both of these protocols have mandatory-to- implement secure transport layers (e.g., SSH, TLS) with mutual authentication. The Network Access Control Model (NACM) [RFC8341] provides the means to restrict access for particular users to a pre-configured subset of all available protocol operations and content. 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. Watsen Expires 15 June 2023 [Page 30] Internet-Draft A YANG Data Model for a Truststore December 2022 All the writable data nodes defined by this module, both in the "grouping" statements as well as the protocol-accessible "truststore" instance, may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. For instance, any modification to a trust anchor or reference to a trust anchor 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 "rpc" or "action" statements, and thus the security considerations for such is not provided here. 5. IANA Considerations 5.1. The "IETF XML" Registry This document registers one URI in the "ns" subregistry of the IETF XML Registry [RFC3688]. Following the format in [RFC3688], the following registration is requested: URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-truststore Registrant Contact: The IESG XML: N/A, the requested URI is an XML namespace. 5.2. The "YANG Module Names" Registry This document registers one YANG module in the YANG Module Names registry [RFC6020]. Following the format in [RFC6020], the following registration is requested: name: ietf-truststore namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-truststore prefix: ts reference: RFC BBBB 6.

Acknowledgements The authors especially thank Henk Birkholz for contributing YANG to the ietf-truststore module supporting raw public keys and PSKs (pre- shared or pairwise-symmetric keys). While these contributions were eventually replaced by reusing the existing support for asymmetric and symmetric trust anchors, respectively, it was only thru Henk's initiative that the WG was able to come to that result. The authors additionally thank the following for helping give shape to this work (ordered by first name): Balazs Kovacs, Carl Wallace, Eric Voit, Juergen Schoenwaelder, Liang Xia, Martin Bjoerklund, Nick Hancock, Qin Wu, and Yoav Nir.
