1. Introduction

This document defines a YANG 1.1 [RFC7950] module having the following characteristics:

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 the clients and servers of both the NETCONF [RFC6241] and RESTCONF [RFC8040] 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.

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 <operational> (see Section 3).

2. The "ietf-truststore" Module

This section defines a YANG 1.1 [RFC7950] module that defines a "truststore" and groupings supporting downstream modules to reference the truststore or have locally-defined definitions.

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

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

Comments:

  • All of the typedefs defined in the "ietf-truststore" module extend the base "leafref" type defined in [RFC7950].
  • 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].
  • 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:

  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:

module: ietf-truststore
  +--rw truststore
     +---u truststore-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
  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
  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

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

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 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 <intended>, as per Section 2.1.4. Please see Section 3 for an example illustrating built-in values in <operational>.

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

2.2.2. A Certificate Expiration Notification

The following example illustrates the "certificate-expiration" notification (per Section 2.1.4.6 of [I-D.ietf-netconf-crypto-types]) for a certificate configured in the truststore in Section 2.2.1.

2.2.3. 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:

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.

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 <operational>. The example below illustrates what the truststore in <operational> might look like for a server in its factory default state.

<truststore
  xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-truststore"
  xmlns:ct="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-crypto-types"
  xmlns:or="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-origin"
  or:origin="or:intended">
  <certificate-bags>

    <certificate-bag or:origin="or:system">
      <name>Built-In Manufacturer Trust Anchor Certificates</name>
      <description>
        Certificates built into the device for authenticating
        manufacturer-signed objects, such as TLS server certificates,
        vouchers, etc.
      </description>
      <certificate>
        <name>Manufacturer Root CA Cert</name>
        <cert-data>base64encodedvalue==</cert-data>
      </certificate>
    </certificate-bag>

    <certificate-bag or:origin="or:system">
      <name>Built-In Public Trust Anchor Certificates</name>
      <description>
        Certificates built into the device for authenticating
        certificates issued by public certificate authorities,
        such as the end-entity certificate for web servers.
      </description>
      <certificate>
        <name>Public Root CA Cert 1</name>
        <cert-data>base64encodedvalue==</cert-data>
      </certificate>
      <certificate>
        <name>Public Root CA Cert 2</name>
        <cert-data>base64encodedvalue==</cert-data>
      </certificate>
      <certificate>
        <name>Public Root CA Cert 3</name>
        <cert-data>base64encodedvalue==</cert-data>
      </certificate>
    </certificate-bag>

  </certificate-bags>
</truststore>

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 <running>.

The built-in bags and/or their trust anchors MUST be copied into <running> 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 <running>.

The following example illustrates how a single built-in public CA certificate from the previous example has been propagated to <running>:

<truststore
  xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-truststore"
  xmlns:ct="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-crypto-types">
  <certificate-bags>

    <certificate-bag>
      <name>Built-In Public Trust Anchor Certificates</name>
      <description>
        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.
      </description>
      <certificate>
        <name>Public Root CA Cert 3</name>
        <cert-data>base64encodedvalue==</cert-data>
      </certificate>
    </certificate-bag>

  </certificate-bags>
</truststore>

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 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).

This module also enables the configuration of certificates, where each certificate may constrain the usage of the public key according to local policy.

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 NETCONF 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.

All of 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

Appendix A. Change Log

This section is to be removed before publishing as an RFC.

A.1. 00 to 01

  • Added features "x509-certificates" and "ssh-host-keys".
  • Added nacm:default-deny-write to "trust-anchors" container.

A.2. 01 to 02

  • Switched "list pinned-certificate" to use the "trust-anchor-cert-grouping" from crypto-types. Effectively the same definition as before.

A.3. 02 to 03

  • Updated copyright date, boilerplate template, affiliation, folding algorithm, and reformatted the YANG module.

A.4. 03 to 04

  • Added groupings 'local-or-truststore-certs-grouping' and 'local-or-truststore-host-keys-grouping', matching similar definitions in the keystore draft. Note new (and incomplete) "truststore" usage!
  • Related to above, also added features 'truststore-supported' and 'local-trust-anchors-supported'.

A.5. 04 to 05

  • Renamed "trust-anchors" to "truststore"
  • Removed "pinned." prefix everywhere, to match truststore rename
  • Moved everything under a top-level 'grouping' to enable use in other contexts.
  • Renamed feature from 'local-trust-anchors-supported' to 'local-definitions-supported' (same name used in keystore)
  • Removed the "require-instance false" statement from the "*-ref" typedefs.
  • Added missing "ssh-host-keys" and "x509-certificates" if-feature statements

A.6. 05 to 06

  • Editorial changes only.

A.7. 06 to 07

  • Added Henk Birkholz as a co-author (thanks Henk!)
  • Added PSKs and raw public keys to truststore.

A.8. 07 to 08

  • Added new "Support for Built-in Trust Anchors" section.
  • Removed spurious "uses ct:trust-anchor-certs-grouping" line.
  • Removed PSK from model.

A.9. 08 to 09

  • Removed remaining PSK references from text.
  • Wrapped each top-level list with a container.
  • Introduced "bag" term.
  • Merged "SSH Public Keys" and "Raw Public Keys" in a single "Public Keys" bag. Consuming downstream modules (i.e., "ietf-[ssh/tls]-[client/server]) refine the "public-key-format" to be either SSH or TLS specific as needed.

A.10. 09 to 10

  • Removed "algorithm" node from examples.
  • Removed the no longer used statements supporting the old "ssh-public-key" and "raw-public-key" nodes.
  • Added a "Note to Reviewers" note to first page.

A.11. 10 to 11

  • Corrected module prefix registered in the IANA Considerations section.
  • Modified 'local-or-truststore-certs-grouping' to use a list (not a leaf-list).
  • Added new example section "The Local or Truststore Groupings".
  • Clarified expected behavior for "built-in" certificates in <operational>
  • Expanded "Data Model Overview section(s) [remove "wall" of tree diagrams].
  • Updated the Security Considerations section.

A.12. 11 to 12

  • Fixed a copy/paste issue in the "Data at Rest" Security Considerations section.

A.13. 12 to 13

  • Fixed issues found by the SecDir review of the "keystore" draft.

A.14. 13 to 14

  • Added an "Unconstrained Public Key Usage" Security Consideration to address concern raised by SecDir.
  • Addressed comments raised by YANG Doctor.

A.15. 14 to 15

  • Renamed feature "truststore-supported" to "central-truststore-supported".
  • Associated with above, generally moved text to refer to a "central" truststore.
  • Removed two unecessary/unwanted "min-elements 1" and associated "presence" statements.
  • Aligned modules with `pyang -f` formatting.
  • Fixed nits found by YANG Doctor reviews.

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, Eric Voit, Juergen Schoenwaelder, Liang Xia, Martin Bjoerklund, Nick Hancock, and Yoav Nir.
