| Internet-Draft | Updates to the TLSTM for SNMP | February 2023 |
| Vaughn | Expires 19 August 2023 | [Page] |
This document updates RFC 6353 "Transport Layer Security (TLS) Transport Model for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)", to reflect changes necessary to support Transport Layer Security Version 1.3 (TLS 1.3) and Datagram Transport Layer Security Version 1.3 (DTLS 1.3), which are jointly known as "(D)TLS 1.3". This document is compatible with (D)TLS 1.2 and is intended to be compatible with future versions of SNMP and (D)TLS.¶
This document updates the SNMP-TLS-TM-MIB as defined in RFC 6353.¶
This Internet-Draft is submitted in full conformance with the provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79.¶

This document is subject to BCP 78 and the IETF Trust's Legal Provisions Relating to IETF Documents (https://trustee.ietf.org/license-info) in effect on the date of publication of this document. Please review these documents carefully, as they describe your rights and restrictions with respect to this document. Code Components extracted from this document must include Revised BSD License text as described in Section 4.e of the Trust Legal Provisions and are provided without warranty as described in the Revised BSD License.¶
This document updates and clarifies how the rules of [RFC6353] apply when using Transport Layer Security (TLS) or Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) versions later than 1.2. This document jointly refers to these two protocols as "(D)TLS". The update also incorporates the [RFC8996] update, which prohibits the use of TLS versions prior to TLS 1.2. Although the text of this document specifically references SNMPv3 and (D)TLS 1.3, this document may be applicable to future versions of these protocols and is backwards compatible with (D)TLS 1.2.¶
Within this document the terms "TLS", "DTLS", and "(D)TLS" apply to all versions of the indicated protocols. The term "SNMP" means "SMNPv3" unless a specific version number is indicated. Specific version numbers are used when the text needs to emphasize version numbers.¶
For consistency with SNMP-related specifications, this document favors terminology as defined in [STD62], rather than favoring terminology that is consistent with non-SNMP specifications. This is consistent with the IESG decision to not require the SNMP terminology be modified to match the usage of other non-SNMP specifications when SNMP was advanced to a Full Standard. "Authentication" in this document typically refers to the English meaning of "serving to prove the authenticity of" the message, not data source authentication or peer identity authentication. The terms "manager" and "agent" are not used in this document because, in the RFC3411 architecture, all SNMP entities have the capability of acting as manager, agent, or both depending on the SNMP application types supported in the implementation. Where distinction is necessary, the application names of command generator, command responder, notification originator, notification receiver, and proxy forwarder are used. See "SNMP Applications" (RFC3411) for further information.¶
Throughout this document, the terms "client" and "server" are used to refer to the two ends of the TLS transport connection. The client actively opens the TLS connection, and the server passively listens for the incoming TLS connection. An SNMP entity MAY act as a TLS client or server or both, depending on the SNMP applications supported.¶
Throughout this document, the term "session" is used to refer to a secure association between two instances of the TLS Transport Model (TLSTM) that permits the transmission of one or more SNMP messages within the lifetime of the session. The TLS protocol also has an internal notion of a session and although these two concepts of a session are related, when the term "session" is used this document is referring to the TLSTM's specific session and not directly to the TLS protocol's session.¶
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.¶
This document updates [RFC6353]. The changes from [RFC6353] are defined in the following clauses.¶
[RFC6353] defines a fingerprint algorithm that references the one-octet TLS 1.2 hash algorithm identifier. TLS 1.3 replaced the one-octet hash algorithm identifier with a two-octet TLS 1.3 cipher suite identifier. The TLS community does not plan to ever add additional values to the TLS 1.2 hash algorithm registry because some might incorrectly infer that using a new hash algorithm with TLS 1.2 would overcome the limitations of TLS 1.2. However, there is still a need within TLSTM to support new values as they are developed.¶
This document updates the definition of SnmpTLSFingerprint to clarify that the one-octet identifier in the fingerprint algorithm uses the IANA SNMP-TLSTM HashAlgorithm Registry; this registry is consistent with the IANA TLS HashAlgorithm Registry for its initial values but can be extended as needed to support new hashing algorithms without implying that the new values can be used by TLS version 1.2. This change allows the reuse of the existing fingerprint TEXTUAL-CONVENTION and minimizes the impact to [RFC6353]. The initial values for the SNMP-TLSTM HashAlgorithm Registry are defined below:¶
| Value | Description | Recommended | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | none | N | [RFC5246] |
| 1 | md5 | N | [RFC5246] |
| 2 | sha1 | N | [RFC5246] |
| 3 | sha224 | Y | [RFC5246] |
| 4 | sha256 | Y | [RFC5246] |
| 5 | sha384 | Y | [RFC5246] |
| 6 | sha512 | Y | [RFC5246] |
| 7 | reserved | [RFC8447] | |
| 8 | intrinsic | N | [RFC8422] |
| 9-223 | reserved | [RFC8447] | |
| 224-255 | private | [RFC5246] |
Values 0 through 2 MUST NOT be used by implementations of this document but are listed for historical consistency.¶
The RFC3411 architecture recognizes three levels of security:¶
With (D)TLS 1.3, authentication and privacy are always provided. Hence, all exchanges conforming to the rules of this document will include authentication and privacy, regardless of the security level requested.¶
[RFC6353] states that TLSTM clients and servers MUST NOT request, offer, or use SSL 2.0. [RFC8996] prohibits the use of (D)TLS versions prior to version 1.2. TLSTM MUST only be used with (D)TLS version 1.2 and later.¶
This document specifies additional rules and clarifications for the use of TLS 1.3. These rules may additionally apply to future versions of TLS.¶
TLS 1.3 implementations for SNMP MUST NOT enable the 0-RTT mode of session resumption (either sending or accepting) and MUST NOT automatically resend 0-RTT data if it is rejected by the server. The reason 0-RTT is disallowed is that there are no "safe" messages that if replayed will be guaranteed to cause no harm at a server side: all incoming notification or command responses are meant to be acted upon only once. See Security considerations section for further details.¶
TLS TM clients and servers MUST NOT request, offer, or use the 0-RTT mode of TLS 1.3. [RFC8446] removed the renegotiation supported in TLS 1.2 [RFC5246]; for session resumption, it introduced a zero-RTT (0-RTT) mode, saving a round-trip at connection setup at the cost of increased risk of replay attacks (it is possible for servers to guard against this attack by keeping track of all the messages received). [RFC8446] requires a profile be written for any application that wants to use 0-RTT, specifying which messages are "safe to use" on this mode. The reason 0-RTT is disallowed here is that there are no "safe" SNMP messages that if replayed will be sure to cause no harm at a server side: all incoming notification or command responses have consequences and are to be acted upon only once.¶
Renegotiation of sessions is not supported as it is not supported by TLS 1.3.¶
[RFC8446] section 9 requires that, in the absence of application profiles, certain cipher suites, TLS extensions, and TLS protocol invariants are mandatory to implement. This document does not specify an application profile, hence all the compliance requirements in [RFC8446] apply.¶

DESCRIPTION
"Represents an IPv4 address, an IPv6 address, or a
US-ASCII-encoded hostname and port number.
An IPv4 address MUST be in dotted decimal format followed by
a colon ':' (US-ASCII character 0x3A) and a decimal port
number in US-ASCII.
An IPv6 address MUST be a colon-separated format (as
described in RFC 5952), surrounded by square brackets ('[',
US-ASCII character 0x5B, and ']', US-ASCII character 0x5D),
followed by a colon ':' (US-ASCII character 0x3A) and a
decimal port number in US-ASCII.
A hostname MUST be in US-ASCII (as per RFC 1123);
internationalized hostnames MUST be encoded as A-labels as
specified in RFC 5890. The hostname is followed by a
colon ':' (US-ASCII character 0x3A) and a decimal port number
in US-ASCII. The name SHOULD be fully qualified whenever
possible.
Values of this textual convention are not guaranteed to be
directly usable as transport layer addressing information,
potentially requiring additional processing, such as run-time
resolution. As such, applications that write them MUST be
prepared for handling errors if such values are not
supported, or cannot be resolved (if resolution occurs at the
time of the management operation).
The DESCRIPTION clause of TransportAddress objects that may
have SnmpTLSAddress values MUST fully describe how (and
when) such names are to be resolved to IP addresses and vice
versa.
This textual convention SHOULD NOT be used directly in object
definitions since it restricts addresses to a specific
format. However, if it is used, it MAY be used either on its
own or in conjunction with TransportAddressType or
TransportDomain as a pair.
When this textual convention is used as a syntax of an index
object, there may be issues with the limit of 128
sub-identifiers specified in SMIv2 (STD 58). It is
RECOMMENDED that all MIB documents using this textual
convention make explicit any limitations on index component
lengths that management software MUST observe. This MAY be
done either by including SIZE constraints on the index
components or by specifying applicable constraints in the
conceptual row DESCRIPTION clause or in the surrounding
documentation."

DESCRIPTION
"A fingerprint value that can be used to uniquely reference
other data of potentially arbitrary length.
An SnmpTLSFingerprint value is composed of a 1-octet hashing
algorithm identifier followed by the fingerprint value. The
1-octet identifier value encoded is taken from IANA SNMP-TLSTM
HashAlgorithm Registry. The remaining octets of the
SnmpTLSFingerprint value are filled using the results of the
hashing algorithm.
Historically, the 1-octet hashing algorithm identifier was
based on the IANA TLS HashAlgorithm Registry (RFC 5246);
however, this registry is only applicable to (D)TLS protocol
versions prior to 1.3, which are now designated as obsolete
and are not expected to ever support additional values. To
allow the fingerprint algorithm to support additional hashing
algorithms that might be used by later versions of (D)TLS, the
octet value encoded is now taken from IANA SNMP-TLSTM
HashAlgorithm Registry. The initial values within this
registry are identical to the values in the TLS HashAlgorithm
registry but can be extended to support new hashing algorithms
as needed.
This TEXTUAL-CONVENTION allows for a zero-length (blank)
SnmpTLSFingerprint value for use in tables where the
fingerprint value MAY be optional. MIB definitions or
implementations MAY refuse to accept a zero-length value as
appropriate."

DESCRIPTION
"Maps a subjectAltName's iPAddress to a tmSecurityName by

address (e.g., '192.0.2.1').
2) for IPv6 addresses, the value is converted into a 32-
character all lowercase hexadecimal string without any colon
separators.
This mapping results in a 1:1 correspondence between
subjectAltName iPAddress values and the tmSecurityName values.
The resulting length of an encoded IPv6 address is the maximum
length supported by the View-Based Access Control Model
(VACM). Using both the Transport Security Model's support for
transport prefixes (see the SNMP-TSM-MIB's
snmpTsmConfigurationUsePrefix object for details) will result
in securityName lengths that exceed what VACM can handle."

STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"This table is used by a (D)TLS server to map the (D)TLS
client's presented X.509 certificate to a tmSecurityName.
On an incoming (D)TLS/SNMP connection, the client's presented
certificate MUST either be validated based on an established
trust anchor, or it MUST directly match a fingerprint in this
table. This table does not provide any mechanisms for
configuring the trust anchors; the transfer of any needed
trusted certificates for path validation is expected to occur
through an out-of-band transfer.
Once the certificate has been found acceptable (either by
path validation or directly matching a fingerprint in this
table), this table is consulted to determine the appropriate
tmSecurityName to identify with the remote connection. This
is done by considering each active row from this table in
prioritized order according to its snmpTlstmCertToTSNID
value. Each row's snmpTlstmCertToTSNFingerprint value
determines whether the row is a match for the incoming
connection:
1) If the row's snmpTlstmCertToTSNFingerprint value
identifies the presented certificate, then consider
the row as a successful match.
2) If the row's snmpTlstmCertToTSNFingerprint value
identifies a locally held copy of a trusted CA
certificate and that CA certificate was used to
validate the path to the presented certificate, then
consider the row as a successful match.
Once a matching row has been found, the
snmpTlstmCertToTSNMapType value can be used to determine how
the tmSecurityName to associate with the session should be
determined. See the snmpTlstmCertToTSNMapType column's
DESCRIPTION for details on determining the tmSecurityName
value. If it is impossible to determine a tmSecurityName
from the row's data combined with the data presented in the
certificate, then additional rows MUST be searched looking
for another potential match. If a resulting tmSecurityName
mapped from a given row is not compatible with the needed
requirements of a tmSecurityName (e.g., VACM imposes a
32-octet-maximum length and the certificate derived
securityName could be longer), then it MUST be considered an
invalid match and additional rows MUST be searched looking
for another potential match.
If no matching and valid row can be found, the connection
MUST be closed and SNMP messages MUST NOT be accepted over
it.
Missing values of snmpTlstmCertToTSNID are acceptable and
implementations SHOULD continue to the next highest numbered
row. It is RECOMMENDED that administrators skip index values
to leave room for the insertion of future rows (for example,
use values of 10 and 20 when creating initial rows).
Users are encouraged to make use of certificates with
subjectAltName fields that can be used as tmSecurityNames so
that a single root CA certificate can allow all child
certificate's subjectAltName to map directly to a
tmSecurityName via a 1:1 transformation. However, this table
is flexible to allow for situations where existing deployed
certificate infrastructures do not provide adequate
subjectAltName values for use as tmSecurityNames.
Certificates MAY also be mapped to tmSecurityNames using the
CommonName portion of the Subject field. However, the usage
of the CommonName field is deprecated and thus this usage is
NOT RECOMMENDED. Direct mapping from each individual
certificate fingerprint to a tmSecurityName is also possible
but requires one entry in the table per tmSecurityName and
requires more management operations to completely configure a
device."

32-octet-maximum length and the certificate derived
securityName could be longer), then future rows MUST be
searched for additional snmpTlstmCertToTSNFingerprint matches
to look for a mapping that succeeds.
Suitable values for assigning to this object that are defined

MAX-ACCESS not-accessible
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"This table is used by a (D)TLS client when a (D)TLS
connection is being set up using an entry in the
SNMP-TARGET-MIB. It extends the SNMP-TARGET-MIB's
snmpTargetAddrTable so that the client can verify that the
correct server has been reached. This verification can use
either a certificate fingerprint, or an identity
authenticated via certification path validation.
If there is an active row in this table corresponding to the
entry in the SNMP-TARGET-MIB that was used to establish the
connection, and the row's snmpTlstmAddrServerFingerprint
column has non-empty value, then the server's presented
certificate is compared with the
snmpTlstmAddrServerFingerprint value (and the
snmpTlstmAddrServerIdentity column is ignored). If the
fingerprint matches, the verification has succeeded. If the
fingerprint does not match, then the connection MUST be
closed.
If the server's presented certificate has passed
certification path validation [RFC5280] to a configured
trust anchor, and an active row exists with a zero-length
snmpTlstmAddrServerFingerprint value, then the
snmpTlstmAddrServerIdentity column contains the expected
host name. This expected host name is then compared against
the server's certificate as follows:
- Implementations MUST support matching the expected host
name against a dNSName in the subjectAltName extension
field and MAY support checking the name against the
CommonName portion of the subject distinguished name.
- The '*' (ASCII 0x2a) wildcard character is allowed in the
dNSName of the subjectAltName extension (and in common
name, if used to store the host name), but only as the
left-most (least significant) DNS label in that value.
This wildcard matches any left-most DNS label in the
server name. That is, the subject *.example.com matches
the server names a.example.com and b.example.com, but does
not match example.com or a.b.example.com. Implementations
MUST support wildcards in certificates as specified above,
but MAY provide a configuration option to disable them.
- If the locally configured name is an internationalized
domain name, conforming implementations MUST convert it to
the ASCII Compatible Encoding (ACE) format for performing
comparisons, as specified in Section 7 of [RFC5280].
If the expected host name fails these conditions then the
connection MUST be closed.
If there is no row in this table corresponding to the entry
in the SNMP-TARGET-MIB and the server can be authorized by
another, implementation-dependent means, then the connection
MAY still proceed."

¶
This document updates a transport model that permits SNMP to utilize (D)TLS security services. The security threats and how the TLS transport model mitigates these threats are covered throughout this document and in [RFC6353]. Security considerations for TLS are described in Section 10 and Appendix E of TLS 1.3 [RFC8446]. Security considerations for DTLS are described in Section 11 of DTLS 1.3 [RFC9147].¶
SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 did not include adequate security. Even if the network itself is secure (for example, by using IPsec), there is no control as to who on the secure network is allowed to access and GET/SET (read/change/create/delete) the objects in this MIB module.¶
It is RECOMMENDED that only SNMPv3 messages using the Transport Security Model (TSM) or another secure-transport aware security model be sent over the TLSTM transport.¶
IANA is asked to create a new registry called the SNMP-TLSTM HashAlgorithm Registry in the Structure of Management Information (SMI) Numbers (MIB Module Registrations) Group and to update the proposed URL reference in the above MIB (listed as "https://www.iana.org/assignments/smi-numbers/smi-numbers.xhtml" under SnmpTLSFingerprint), if needed, to accurately reflect its location.¶
The registry should have the following fields: value, description, recommended, and reference. The range of values is zero to 255, with initial assignments shown in Section 2.1. The "recommended" column indicates "Y" for hashing algorithms that are deemed to be acceptable for current use and "N" for hashing algorithms that reflect historical meanings that are not recommended (e.g., because they do not provide sufficient security for modern systems). A blank field indicates that no recommendation is made (e.g., because the value is reserved or left for private use).¶
The policy for updates is Expert Review. The expert should consult the Security Area, e.g. via the mailing list of the TLS WG (the initial values of this registry are taken from an existing TLS Registry so the TLS WG would seem the best fit for this).¶
While future additions to the IANA TLS HashAlgorithm Registry are not expected, any future addition to the IANA TLS HashAlgorithm Registry MUST be consistent with the values assigned in the IANA SNMP-TLSTM HashAlgorithm Registry.¶
This document is based on [RFC6353]. This document was reviewed by the following people who helped provide useful comments: Michaela Vanderveen, Joe Clarke, Jurgen Schonwalder, and Tom Petch.¶
