YANG Data Model for Key Chains
Abstract
This document describes the key chain YANG data model. Key chains
are commonly used for routing protocol authentication and other
applications requiring symmetric keys. A key chain is a list
containing one or more elements containing a Key ID, key string,
send/accept lifetimes, and the associated authentication or
encryption algorithm. By properly overlapping the send and accept
lifetimes of multiple key chain elements, key strings and algorithms
may be gracefully updated. By representing them in a YANG data
model, key distribution can be automated.

1. Introduction
This document describes the key chain YANG [YANG-1.1] data model.
Key chains are commonly used for routing protocol authentication and
other applications requiring symmetric keys. A key chain is a list
containing one or more elements containing a Key ID, key string,
send/accept lifetimes, and the associated authentication or
encryption algorithm. By properly overlapping the send and accept
lifetimes of multiple key chain elements, key strings and algorithms
may be gracefully updated. By representing them in a YANG data
model, key distribution can be automated.
In some applications, the protocols do not use the key chain element
key directly, but rather a key derivation function is used to derive
a short-lived key from the key chain element key (e.g., the master
keys used in [TCP-AO]).
1.1. Requirements Notation
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 [KEYWORDS] [KEYWORDS-UPD] when, and only when, they appear in
all capitals, as shown here.
1.2. Tree Diagrams
A simplified graphical representation of the complete data tree is
presented in Section 3.3. The following tree notation is used.
o Brackets "[" and "]" enclose YANG list keys. These YANG list keys
should not be confused with the key chain keys.
o Curly braces "{" and "}" contain names of optional features that
make the corresponding node conditional.
o Abbreviations before data node names: "rw" means configuration
(read-write), "ro" means state data (read-only), "-x" means RPC
operations, and "-n" means notifications.
o Symbols after data node names: "?" means an optional node, "!"
denotes a container with presence, and "*" denotes a "list" or
"leaf-list".
o Parentheses enclose choice and case nodes, and case nodes are also
marked with a colon (":").
o Ellipsis ("...") stands for contents of subtrees that are not
shown.
2. Problem Statement
This document describes a YANG [YANG-1.1] data model for key chains.
Key chains have been implemented and deployed by a large percentage
of network equipment vendors. Providing a standard YANG model will
facilitate automated key distribution and non-disruptive key
rollover. This will aid in tightening the security of the core
routing infrastructure as recommended in [IAB-REPORT].
A key chain is a list containing one or more elements containing a
Key ID, key string, send/accept lifetimes, and the associated
authentication or encryption algorithm. A key chain can be used by
any service or application requiring authentication or encryption
using symmetric keys. In essence, the key chain is a reusable key
policy that can be referenced wherever it is required. The key chain
construct has been implemented by most networking vendors and
deployed in many networks.
A conceptual representation of a crypto key table is described in
[CRYPTO-KEYTABLE]. The crypto key table includes keys as well as
their corresponding lifetimes and algorithms. Additionally, the key
table includes key selection criteria and is designed for a
deployment model where the details of the applications or services
requiring authentication or encryption permeate into the key
database. The YANG key chain model described herein doesn't include
key selection criteria or support this deployment model. At the same
time, it does not preclude it. [YANG-CRYPTO-KEYTABLE] describes
augmentations to the key chain YANG model in support of key selection
criteria.
2.1. Applicability
Other YANG modules may reference ietf-key-chain YANG module key-chain
names for authentication and encryption applications. A YANG type
has been provided to facilitate reference to the key-chain name
without having to specify the complete YANG XML Path Language (XPath)
expression.
2.2. Graceful Key Rollover Using Key Chains
Key chains may be used to gracefully update the key string and/or
algorithm used by an application for authentication or encryption.
To achieve graceful key rollover, the receiver MAY accept all the
keys that have a valid accept lifetime, and the sender MAY send the
key with the most recent send lifetime. One scenario for
facilitating key rollover is to:
1. Distribute a key chain with a new key to all the routers or other
network devices in the domain of that key chain. The new key's
accept lifetime should be such that it is accepted during the key
rollover period. The send lifetime should be a time in the
future when it can be assured that all the routers in the domain
of that key are upgraded. This will have no immediate impact on
the keys used for transmission.
2. Assure that all the network devices have been updated with the
updated key chain and that their system times are roughly
synchronized. The system times of devices within an
administrative domain are commonly synchronized (e.g., using the
Network Time Protocol (NTP) [NTP-PROTO]). This also may be
automated.
3. When the send lifetime of the new key becomes valid, the network
devices within the domain of that key chain will use the new key
for transmissions.
4. At some point in the future, a new key chain with the old key
removed may be distributed to the network devices within the
domain of the key chain. However, this may be deferred until the
next key rollover. If this is done, the key chain will always
include two keys: either the current and future key (during key
rollovers) or the current and previous keys (between key
rollovers).
Since the most recent send lifetime is defined as the one with the
latest start-time, specification of "always" will prevent using the
graceful key rollover technique described above. Other key
configuration and usage scenarios are possible, but these are beyond
the scope of this document.
3. Design of the Key Chain Model
The ietf-key-chain module contains a list of one or more keys indexed
by a Key ID. For some applications (e.g., OSPFv3 [OSPFV3-AUTH]), the
Key ID is used to identify the key chain key to be used. In addition
to the Key ID, each key chain key includes a key string and a
cryptographic algorithm. Optionally, the key chain keys include
send/accept lifetimes. If the send/accept lifetime is unspecified,
the key is always considered valid.
Note that different key values for transmission versus acceptance may
be supported with multiple key chain elements. The key used for
transmission will have a valid send-lifetime and invalid accept-
lifetime (e.g., has an end-time equal to the start-time). The key
used for acceptance will have a valid accept-lifetime and invalid
send-lifetime.
Due to the differences in key chain implementations across various
vendors, some of the data elements are optional. Finally, the crypto
algorithm identities are provided for reuse when configuring legacy
authentication and encryption not using key chains.
A key chain is identified by a unique name within the scope of the
network device. The "key-chain-ref" typedef SHOULD be used by other
YANG modules when they need to reference a configured key chain.
3.1. Key Chain Operational State
The key chain operational state is included in the same tree as key
chain configuration consistent with Network Management Datastore
Architecture [NMDA]. The timestamp of the last key chain
modification is also maintained in the operational state.
Additionally, the operational state includes an indication of whether
or not a key chain key is valid for transmission or acceptance.
3.2. Key Chain Model Features
Features are used to handle differences between vendor
implementations. For example, not all vendors support configuration
of an acceptance tolerance or configuration of key strings in
hexadecimal. They are also used to support security requirements
(e.g., TCP-AO algorithms [TCP-AO-ALGORITHMS]) not yet implemented by
vendors or implemented by only a single vendor.
It is common for an entity with sufficient permissions to read and
store a device's configuration, which would include the contents of
this model. To avoid unnecessarily seeing and storing the keys in
cleartext, this model provides the aes-key-wrap feature. More
details are described in the Security Considerations (Section 5).

5. Security Considerations
The YANG module defined in this document is designed to be accessed
via network management protocols such as NETCONF [NETCONF] or
RESTCONF [RESTCONF]. The lowest NETCONF layer is the secure
transport layer, and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is
Secure Shell (SSH) [NETCONF-SSH]. The lowest RESTCONF layer is
HTTPS, and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is TLS [TLS].
The NETCONF access control model [NETCONF-ACM] provides the means to
restrict access for particular NETCONF or RESTCONF users to a pre-
configured subset of all available NETCONF or RESTCONF protocol
operations and content. The key strings are not accessible by
default, and NETCONF access control model [NETCONF-ACM] rules are
required to configure or retrieve them.
When configured, the key strings can be encrypted using the AES Key
Wrap algorithm [AES-KEY-WRAP]. The AES key-encryption key (KEK) is
not included in the YANG model and must be set or derived independent
of key chain configuration. When AES key encryption is used, the
hex-key-string feature is also required since the encrypted keys will
contain characters that are not representable in the YANG string
built-in type [YANG-1.1]. It is RECOMMENDED that key strings be
encrypted using AES key encryption to prevent key chains from being
retrieved and stored with the key strings in cleartext. This
recommendation is independent of the access protection that is
availed from the NETCONF access control model (NACM) [NETCONF-ACM].
The cleartext algorithm is included as a YANG feature. Usage is NOT
RECOMMENDED except in cases where the application and device have no
other alternative (e.g., a legacy network device that must
authenticate packets at intervals of 10 milliseconds or less for many
peers using Bidirectional Forwarding Detection [BFD]). Keys used
with the cleartext algorithm are considered insecure and SHOULD NOT
be reused with more secure algorithms.
Similarly, the MD5 and SHA-1 algorithms have been proven to be
insecure ([Dobb96a], [Dobb96b], and [SHA-SEC-CON]), and usage is NOT
RECOMMENDED. Usage should be confined to deployments where it is
required for backward compatibility.
Implementations with keys provided via this model should store them
using best current security practices.
