Abstract

   This draft extends the input to the "get-bootstrapping-data" RPC
   defined in RFC 8572 to include an optional certificate signing
   request (CSR), enabling a bootstrapping device to additionally obtain
   an identity certificate (e.g., an LDevID from IEEE 802.1AR) as part
   of the "onboarding information" response provided in the RPC-reply.

1.  Introduction

1.1.  Overview

   This draft extends the input to the "get-bootstrapping-data" RPC
   defined in [RFC8572] to include an optional certificate signing
   request (CSR) [RFC2986], enabling a bootstrapping device to
   additionally obtain an identity certificate (e.g., an LDevID
   [Std-802.1AR-2018]) as part of the "onboarding information" response
   provided in the RPC-reply.

   The ability to provision an identity certificate that is purpose-
   built for a production environment during the bootstrapping process
   removes reliance on the manufacturer CA, and it also enables the
   bootstrapped device to join the production environment with an
   appropriate identity and other attributes in its identity certificate
   (e.g., an LDevID).

Internet-Draft     Conveying a CSR in an SZTP Request         March 2022

   Two YANG [RFC7950] modules are defined.  The "ietf-ztp-types" module
   defines three YANG groupings for the various messages defined in this
   document.  The "ietf-sztp-csr" module augments two groupings into the
   "get-bootstrapping-data" RPC and defines a YANG Data Structure
   [RFC8791] around the third grouping.

1.2.  Terminology

   This document uses the following terms from [RFC8572]:

   *  Bootstrap Server
   *  Bootstrapping Data
   *  Conveyed Information
   *  Device
   *  Manufacturer
   *  Onboarding Information
   *  Signed Data

   This document defines the following new terms:

   SZTP-client  The term "SZTP-client" refers to a "device" that is
      using a "bootstrap server" as a source of "bootstrapping data".

   SZTP-server  The term "SZTP-server" is an alternative term for
      "bootstrap server" that is symmetric with the "SZTP-client" term.

1.3.  Requirements 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.

1.4.  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.

2.  The "ietf-sztp-csr" Module

   The "ietf-sztp-csr" module is a YANG 1.1 [RFC7950] module that
   augments the "ietf-sztp-bootstrap-server" module defined in [RFC8572]
   and defines a YANG "structure" that is to be conveyed in the "error-
   info" node defined in Section 7.1 of [RFC8040].

2.1.  Data Model Overview

   The following tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrates the "ietf-sztp-csr"
   module.

   module: ietf-sztp-csr

     augment /sztp-svr:get-bootstrapping-data/sztp-svr:input:
       +---w (msg-type)?
          +--:(csr-support)
          |  +---w csr-support
          |     +---w key-generation!
          |     |  +---w supported-algorithms
          |     |     +---w algorithm-identifier*   binary
          |     +---w csr-generation
          |        +---w supported-formats
          |           +---w format-identifier*   identityref
          +--:(csr)
             +---w (csr-type)
                +--:(p10-csr)
                |  +---w p10-csr?   ct:csr
                +--:(cmc-csr)
                |  +---w cmc-csr?   binary
                +--:(cmp-csr)
                   +---w cmp-csr?   binary

     structure csr-request:
       +-- key-generation!
       |  +-- selected-algorithm
       |     +-- algorithm-identifier    binary
       +-- csr-generation
       |  +-- selected-format
       |     +-- format-identifier    identityref
       +-- cert-req-info?    ct:csr-info

   The augmentation defines two kinds of parameters that an SZTP-client
   can send to an SZTP-server.  The YANG structure defines one
   collection of parameters that an SZTP-server can send to an SZTP-
   client.

   In the order of their intended use:

   *  The "csr-support" node is used by the SZTP-client to signal to the
      SZTP-server that it supports the ability to generate CSRs.  This
      parameter conveys if the SZTP-client is able to generate a new
      asymmetric key and, if so, which key algorithms it supports, as
      well as conveys what kinds of CSR structures the SZTP-client is
      able to generate.

Watsen, et al.          Expires 3 September 2022                [Page 5]
Internet-Draft     Conveying a CSR in an SZTP Request         March 2022

   *  The "csr-request" structure is used by the SZTP-server to request
      the SZTP-client to generate a CSR.  This structure is used to
      select the key algorithm the SZTP-client should use to generate a
      new asymmetric key, if supported, the kind of CSR structure the
      SZTP-client should generate and, optionally, the content for the
      CSR itself.

   *  The various "csr" nodes are used by the SZTP-client to communicate
      a CSR to the SZTP-server.

      |  No data model is defined enabling an SZTP-server to communicate
      |  the signed certificate to the SZTP-client.  How to do this is
      |  discussed in Section 2.2.

   To further illustrate how the augmentation and structure defined by
   the "ietf-sztp-csr" module are used, below are two additional tree
   diagrams showing these nodes placed where they are used.

   The following tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrates SZTP's "get-
   bootstrapping-data" RPC with the augmentation in place.

2.2.  Example Usage

      |  The examples below are encoded using JSON, but they could
      |  equally well be encoded using XML, as is supported by SZTP.

   An SZTP-client implementing this specification would signal to the
   bootstrap server its willingness to generate a CSR by including the
   "csr-support" node in its "get-bootstrapping-data" RPC.  In the
   example below, the SZTP-client additionally indicates that it is able
   to generate keys and provides a list of key algorithms it supports,
   as well as provide a list of certificate formats it supports.

       }
     }
   }

   Assuming the SZTP-server wishes to prompt the SZTP-client to provide
   a CSR, then it would respond with an HTTP 400 Bad Request error code.
   In the example below, the SZTP-server specifies that it wishes the
   SZTP-client to generate a key using a specific algorithm and generate
   a PKCS#10-based CSR containing specific content.

   Upon being prompted to provide a CSR, the SZTP-client would POST
   another "get-bootstrapping-data" request, but this time including one
   of the "csr" nodes to convey its CSR to the SZTP-server:

   POST /restconf/operations/ietf-sztp-bootstrap-server:get-bootstrappi\

   Content-Type: application/yang-data+json

   {

       "hw-model": "model-x",

       "nonce": "extralongbase64encodedvalue=",
       "ietf-sztp-csr:p10-csr": "BASE64VALUE="
     }
   }

   At this point, it is expected that the SZTP-server, perhaps in
   conjunction with other systems, such as a backend CA or RA, will
   validate the CSR's origin and proof-of-possession and, assuming the
   CSR is approved, issue a signed certificate for the bootstrapping
   device.

   The SZTP-server responds with "onboarding-information" (encoded
   inside the "conveyed-information" node, shown below) containing a
   signed identity certificate for the CSR provided by the SZTP-client:

   RESPONSE

   HTTP/1.1 200 OK

       "reporting-level": "verbose",
       "conveyed-information": "BASE64VALUE="
     }
   }

   How the signed certificate is conveyed inside the onboarding
   information is outside the scope of this document.  Some
   implementations may choose to convey it inside a script (e.g., SZTP's
   "pre-configuration-script"), while other implementations may choose
   to convey it inside the SZTP "configuration" node.  SZTP onboarding
   information is described in Section 2.2 of [RFC8572].

   Below are two examples of conveying the signed certificate inside the
   "configuration" node.  Both examples assume that the SZTP-client
   understands the "ietf-keystore" module defined in
   [I-D.ietf-netconf-keystore].

   This first example illustrates the case where the signed certificate
   is for the same asymmetric key used by the SZTP-client's
   manufacturer-generated identity certificate (e.g., an IDevID, from
   [Std-802.1AR-2018]).  As such, the configuration needs to associate
   the newly signed certificate with the existing asymmetric key:

                 {
                   "name": "Manufacturer-Generated IDevID Cert",
                   "cert-data": "BASE64VALUE="
                 },
                 {
                   "name": "Newly-Generated LDevID Cert",
                   "cert-data": "BASE64VALUE="
                 }
               ]
             }
           }
         ]
       }
     }
   }

   This second example illustrates the case where the signed certificate
   is for a newly generated asymmetric key.  As such, the configuration
   needs to associate the newly signed certificate with the newly
   generated asymmetric key:

           }
         ]
       }
     }
   }

   In addition to configuring the signed certificate, it is often
   necessary to also configure the Issuer's signing certificate so that
   the device (i.e., STZP-client) can authenticate certificates
   presented by peer devices signed by the same issuer as its own.
   While outside the scope of this document, one way to do this would be
   to use the "ietf-truststore" module defined in
   [I-D.ietf-netconf-trust-anchors].

3.  The "ietf-ztp-types" Module

   This section defines a YANG 1.1 [RFC7950] module that defines three
   YANG groupings, one each for messages sent between a ZTP-client and
   ZTP-server.  This module is defined independently of the "ietf-sztp-
   csr" module so that it's groupings may be used by bootstrapping
   protocols other than SZTP [RFC8572].

3.1.  Data Model Overview

   The following tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrates the three groupings
   defined in the "ietf-ztp-types" module.

4.  Security Considerations

   This document builds on top of the solution presented in [RFC8572]
   and therefore all the Security Considerations discussed in RFC 8572
   apply here as well.

   For the various CSR formats, when using PKCS#10, the security
   considerations in [RFC2986] apply, when using CMP, the security
   considerations in [RFC4210] apply and, when using CMC, the security
   considerations in [RFC5272] apply.

   For the various authentication mechanisms, when using TLS-level
   authentication, the security considerations in [RFC8446] apply and,
   when using HTTP-level authentication, the security considerations in
   [RFC7235] apply.

4.1.  SZTP-Client Considerations

4.1.1.  Ensuring the Integrity of Asymmetric Private Keys

   The private key the SZTP-client uses for the dynamically-generated
   identity certificate MUST be protected from inadvertent disclosure in
   order to prevent identity fraud.

   The security of this private key is essential in order to ensure the
   associated identity certificate can be used to authenticate the

Internet-Draft     Conveying a CSR in an SZTP Request         March 2022

   It is RECOMMENDED that devices are manufactured with an HSM (hardware
   security module), such as a TPM (trusted platform module), to
   generate and contain the private key within the security perimeter of
   the HSM.  In such cases, the private key, and its associated
   certificates, MAY have long validity periods.

   In cases where the SZTP-client does not possess an HSM, or is unable
   to use an HSM to protect the private key, it is RECOMMENDED to
   periodically reset the private key (and associated identity
   certificates) in order to minimize the lifetime of unprotected
   private keys.  For instance, an NMS controller/orchestrator
   application could periodically prompt the SZTP-client to generate a
   new private key and provide a certificate signing request (CSR) or,
   alternatively, push both the key and an identity certificate to the
   SZTP-client using, e.g., a PKCS #12 message [RFC7292].  In another
   example, the SZTP-client could be configured to periodically reset
   the configuration to its factory default, thus causing removal of the
   private key and associated identity certificates and re-execution of
   the SZTP protocol.

4.1.2.  Reuse of a Manufacturer-generated Private Key

   It is RECOMMENDED that a new private key is generated for each CSR
   described in this document.

   Implementations must randomly generate nonces and private keys.  The
   use of inadequate pseudo-random number generators (PRNGs) to generate
   cryptographic keys can result in little or no security.  An attacker
   may find it much easier to reproduce the PRNG environment that
   produced the keys, searching the resulting small set of
   possibilities, rather than brute force searching the whole key space.
   As an example of predictable random numbers see CVE-2008-0166
   [CVE-2008-0166], and some consequences of low-entropy random numbers
   are discussed in Mining Your Ps and Qs [MiningPsQs].  The generation
   of quality random numbers is difficult.  [ISO.20543-2019],
   [NIST.SP.800-90Ar1], BSI AIS 31 [AIS31], BCP 106 [RFC4086], and
   others offer valuable guidance in this area.

   This private key SHOULD be protected as well as the built-in private
   key associated with the SZTP-client's initial device identity
   certificate (e.g., the IDevID, from [Std-802.1AR-2018]).

   In cases where it is not possible to generate a new private key that
   is protected as well as the built-in private key, it is RECOMMENDED
   to reuse the built-in private key rather than generate a new private
   key that is not as well protected.

4.1.3.  Replay Attack Protection

   This RFC enables an SZTP-client to announce an ability to generate a
   new key to use for its CSR.

   When the SZTP-server responds with a request for the SZTP-client to
   generate a new key, it is essential that the SZTP-client actually
   generates a new key.

   Generating a new key each time enables the random bytes used to
   create the key to also serve the dual-purpose of acting like a
   "nonce" used in other mechanisms to detect replay attacks.

   When a fresh public/private key pair is generated for the request,
   confirmation to the SZTP-client that the response has not been
   replayed is enabled by the SZTP-client's fresh public key appearing
   in the signed certificate provided by the SZTP-server.

   When a public/private key pair associated with the manufacturer-
   generated identity certificate (e.g., IDevID) is used for the
   request, there may not be confirmation to the SZTP-client that the
   response has not been replayed; however, the worst case result is a
   lost certificate that is associated to the private key known only to
   the SZTP-client.  Protection of the private-key information is vital
   to public-key cryptography.  Disclosure of the private-key material
   to another entity can lead to masquerades.

4.1.4.  Connecting to an Untrusted Bootstrap Server

   [RFC8572] allows SZTP-clients to connect to untrusted SZTP-servers,
   by blindly authenticating the SZTP-server's TLS end-entity
   certificate.

   As is discussed in Section 9.5 of [RFC8572], in such cases the SZTP-
   client MUST assert that the bootstrapping data returned is signed, if
   the SZTP-client is to trust it.

   However, the HTTP error message used in this document cannot be
   signed data, as described in RFC 8572.

   Therefore, the solution presented in this document cannot be used
   when the SZTP-client connects to an untrusted SZTP-server.

   Consistent with the recommendation presented in Section 9.6 of
   [RFC8572], SZTP-clients SHOULD NOT pass the "csr-support" input
   parameter to an untrusted SZTP-server.  SZTP-clients SHOULD pass
   instead the "signed-data-preferred" input parameter, as discussed in
   Appendix B of [RFC8572].

Internet-Draft     Conveying a CSR in an SZTP Request         March 2022

4.1.5.  Selecting the Best Origin Authentication Mechanism

   The origin of the CSR must be verified before a certificate is
   issued.

   When generating a new key, it is important that the SZTP-client be
   able to provide additional proof that it was the entity that
   generated the key.

   The CMP and CMC certificate request formats defined in this document
   support origin authentication.  A raw PKCS#10 CSR does not support
   origin authentication.

   The CMP and CMC request formats support origin authentication using
   both PKI and shared secret.

   Typically, only one possible origin authentication mechanism can
   possibly be used but, in the case that the SZTP-client authenticates
   itself using both TLS-level (e.g., IDevID) and HTTP-level credentials
   (e.g., Basic), as is allowed by Section 5.3 of [RFC8572], then the
   SZTP-client may need to choose between the two options.

   In the case that the SZTP-client must choose between an asymmetric
   key option versus a shared secret for origin authentication, it is
   RECOMMENDED that the SZTP-client choose using the asymmetric key.

4.1.6.  Clearing the Private Key and Associated Certificate

   Unlike a manufacturer-generated identity certificate (e.g., IDevID),
   the deployment-generated identity certificate (e.g., LDevID) and the
   associated private key (assuming a new private key was generated for
   the purpose), are considered user data and SHOULD be cleared whenever
   the SZTP-client is reset to its factory default state, such as by the
   "factory-reset" RPC defined in [RFC8808].

4.2.  SZTP-Server Considerations

4.2.1.  Verifying Proof of Possession

   Regardless if using a new asymmetric key or the bootstrapping
   device's manufacturer-generated key (e.g., the IDevID key), the
   public key is placed in the CSR and the CSR is signed by that private
   key.  Proof-of-possession of the private key is verified by ensuring
   the signature over the CSR using the public key placed in the CSR.

Watsen, et al.          Expires 3 September 2022               [Page 30]
Internet-Draft     Conveying a CSR in an SZTP Request         March 2022

4.2.2.  Verifying Proof of Origin

   When the bootstrapping device's manufacturer-generated private key
   (e.g., the IDevID key) is reused for the CSR, proof-of-origin is
   verified by validating the IDevID-issuer cert and ensuring that the
   CSR uses the same key pair.

   When the bootstrapping device's manufacturer-generated private key
   (e.g., an IDevID key from IEEE 802.1AR) is reused for the CSR, proof-
   of-origin is verified by validating the IDevID certification path and
   ensuring that the CSR uses the same key pair.

   When a fresh asymmetric key is used with the CMP or CMC formats, the
   authentication is part of the protocols, which could employ either
   the manufacturer-generated private key or a shared secret.  In
   addition, CMP and CMC support processing by a RA before the request
   is passed to the CA, which allows for more robust handling of errors.

4.2.3.  Supporting SZTP-Clients that don't trust the SZTP-Server

   [RFC8572] allows SZTP-clients to connect to untrusted SZTP-servers,
   by blindly authenticating the SZTP-server's TLS end-entity
   certificate.

   As is recommended in Section 4.1.4 in this document, in such cases,
   SZTP-clients SHOULD pass the "signed-data-preferred" input parameter.

   The reciprocal of this statement is that SZTP-servers, wanting to
   support SZTP-clients that don't trust them, SHOULD support the
   "signed-data-preferred" input parameter, as discussed in Appendix B
   of [RFC8572].

4.3.  Security Considerations for the "ietf-sztp-csr" YANG Module

   The recommended format for documenting the Security Considerations
   for YANG modules is described in Section 3.7 of [RFC8407].  However,
   this module only augments two input parameters into the "get-
   bootstrapping-data" RPC in [RFC8572], and therefore only needs to
   point to the relevant Security Considerations sections in that RFC.

   *  Security considerations for the "get-bootstrapping-data" RPC are
      described in Section 9.16 of [RFC8572].

   *  Security considerations for the "input" parameters passed inside
      the "get-bootstrapping-data" RPC are described in Section 9.6 of
      [RFC8572].

4.4.  Security Considerations for the "ietf-ztp-types" YANG Module

   The recommended format for documenting the Security Considerations
   for YANG modules is described in Section 3.7 of [RFC8407].  However,
   this module does not define any protocol-accessible nodes (it only
   defines "identity" and "grouping" statements) and therefore there are
   no Security considerations to report.
