              Updates to the TLS Transport Model for SNMP

Abstract

   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.

1.  Introduction

   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
   emphasizes the requirement in [RFC8996] prohibiting the use of TLS
   versions prior to TLS 1.2 [RFC5246] when using SNMP.  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.

1.1.  The Internet-Standard Management Framework

   For a detailed overview of the documents that describe the current
   Internet-Standard Management Framework, please refer to Section 7 of
   [RFC3410].

   Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
   the Management Information Base or MIB.  MIB objects are generally
   accessed through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
   Objects in the MIB are defined using the mechanisms defined in the
   Structure of Management Information (SMI).  This memo specifies a MIB
   module that is compliant to the SMIv2, which is described in RFCs
   2578, 2579, and 2580 [STD58].

1.2.  Conventions

   Within this document, the terms "TLS", "DTLS", and "(D)TLS" apply to
   all versions of the indicated protocols.  The term "SNMP" means
   "SNMPv3" 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 that the SNMP
   terminology be modified to match the usage of other non-SNMP
   specifications when SNMP was advanced to an Internet 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 architecture defined in RFC 3411 [STD62], 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 "An Architecture for Describing
   Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Management Frameworks" (RFC
   3411 [STD62]) 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, TLS 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.

2.  Changes from RFC 6353

   This document updates [RFC6353].  The changes from [RFC6353] are
   defined in the following subsections.

2.1.  TLSTM Fingerprint

   [RFC6353] defines the SnmpTLSFingerprint textual convention to
   include the one-octet TLS 1.2 hash algorithm identifier.  This one-
   octet algorithm identifier is only applicable to (D)TLS protocol
   versions prior to 1.3.  The TLS community does not plan to ever add
   additional values to the "TLS HashAlgorithm" registry [RFC5246],
   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 algorithm identifier uses the values in the IANA
   "SNMP-TLSTM HashAlgorithms" 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].

   A "Y" in the "Recommended" column (Table 1) indicates that the
   registered value has been recommended through a formal Standards
   Action [RFC8126].  Not all parameters defined in Standards Track
   documents are necessarily marked as "Recommended".

   An "N" in the "Recommended" column does not necessarily mean that the
   value is flawed; rather, it indicates that the item either has not
   been through the IETF consensus process, has limited applicability,
   or is intended only for specific use cases.

   The initial values for the "SNMP-TLSTM HashAlgorithms" registry are
   defined below:

     +=========+==========================+=============+============+

   Values 0 through 2 MUST NOT be used by implementations of this
   document but are listed for historical consistency.

2.2.  Security Level

   The architecture defined in RFC 3411 [STD62] recognizes three levels
   of security:

   *  without authentication and without privacy (noAuthNoPriv)

   *  with authentication but without privacy (authNoPriv)

   *  with authentication and with privacy (authPriv)

   Cipher suites for (D)TLS 1.3 defined in [RFC8446] provide both
   authentication and privacy.  Cipher suites defined in [RFC9150] for
   (D)TLS 1.3 provide only authentication, without any privacy
   protection.  Implementations MAY choose to force (D)TLS 1.3 to only
   allow cipher suites that provide both authentication and privacy.

2.3.  (D)TLS Version

   [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
   versions 1.2 and later.

3.  Additional Rules for TLS 1.3

   This document specifies additional rules and clarifications for the
   use of TLS 1.3.  These rules may additionally apply to future
   versions of TLS.

3.1.  Zero Round-Trip Time Resumption (0-RTT)

   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.
   0-RTT is disallowed because there are no "safe" SNMP messages that,
   if replayed, will be guaranteed to cause no harm at the server side:
   all incoming notifications or command responses are meant to be acted
   upon only once.  See Section 5 ("Security Considerations") for
   further details.

   TLSTM 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 that a profile be written for any application that
   wants to use 0-RTT, specifying which messages are "safe to use" with
   this mode.  Within SNMP, there are no messages that are "safe to use"
   with this mode.

   Renegotiation of sessions is not supported, as it is not supported by
   TLS 1.3.  If a future version of TLS supports renegotiation, this RFC
   should be updated to indicate whether there are any additional
   requirements related to its use.

3.2.  TLS Cipher Suites, Extensions, and Protocol Invariants

   Section 9 of [RFC8446] requires that, in the absence of application
   profiles, certain cipher suites, TLS extensions, and TLS protocol
   invariants be mandatory to implement.  This document does not specify
   an application profile; hence, all the compliance requirements in
   [RFC8446] apply.

4.  MIB Module Definitions

   This SNMP-TLS-TM-MIB module imports items from RFCs 2578, 2579, and
   2580 [STD58], as well as RFCs 3411 and 3413 [STD62].  It also
   references [RFC1123], [RFC5246], [RFC5280], [RFC5591], [RFC5890],
   [RFC5952], [RFC5953], [RFC6353], and RFC 2579 [STD58].

          "Represents an IPv4 address, an IPv6 address, or an
           ASCII-encoded host name and port number.

           An IPv4 address MUST be in dotted decimal format followed
           by a colon ':' (ASCII character 0x3A) and a decimal
           port number in ASCII.

           An IPv6 address MUST be a colon-separated format (as
           described in RFC 5952), surrounded by square brackets
           ('[', ASCII character 0x5B, and ']', ASCII character
           0x5D), followed by a colon ':' (ASCII character 0x3A)
           and a decimal port number in ASCII.

           A host name MUST be in ASCII (as per RFC 1123);
           internationalized host names MUST be encoded as A-labels as
           specified in RFC 5890.  The host name is followed by a
           colon ':' (ASCII character 0x3A) and a decimal port
           number in 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

          "A fingerprint value that can be used to uniquely reference
           other data of potentially arbitrary length.

           An SnmpTLSFingerprint value is composed of a one-octet
           hashing algorithm identifier followed by the fingerprint
           value.  The one-octet identifier value encoded is taken
           from the IANA 'SNMP-TLSTM HashAlgorithms' registry.  The
           remaining octets of the SnmpTLSFingerprint value are
           filled using the results of the hashing algorithm.

           Historically, the one-octet hashing algorithm identifier
           was based on the IANA 'TLS HashAlgorithm' registry
           (RFC 5246); however, this registry is no longer in use for
           TLS 1.3 and above and is not expected to have any new
           registrations added to it.  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 the IANA
           'SNMP-TLSTM HashAlgorithms' 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."

          "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 either MUST be validated based on an
           established trust anchor or 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 via
           path validation or by 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 clause 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 to look 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., the 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 to look 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.
           This allows all child certificates of a single root CA
           certificate to include a subjectAltName that maps 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."

           correct server has been reached.  This verification can
           use either 1) a certificate fingerprint or 2) 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 a 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 (RFC 5280) 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
                CommonName, if used to store the host name), but
                only as the leftmost (least significant) DNS label
                in that value.  This wildcard matches any leftmost
                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 RFC 5280.

           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,

5.  Security Considerations

   This document updates a transport model that permits SNMP to utilize
   (D)TLS security services.  The security threats and how the TLSTM
   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].

   Implementations should consider the latest recommendations on the use
   of (DTLS), such as those documented in [RFC9325].

   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.

6.  IANA Considerations

   IANA has created a new registry called "SNMP-TLSTM HashAlgorithms"
   within the "Structure of Management Information (SMI) Numbers (MIB
   Module Registrations)" group.  The description of this registry is
   "iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.snmpTlstmMIB.snmpTlstmHashAlgorithms
   (1.3.6.1.2.1.198.4)".

   The registry has the following fields: Value, Description,
   Recommended, and References.  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 Standards Track
   and are deemed to be acceptable for widely applicable current use and
   "N" for hashing algorithms that reflect meanings that are not
   recommended (e.g., they do not provide sufficient security for modern
   systems, they are not Standards Track, and they have limited
   applicability).  A blank field indicates that no recommendation is
   made (e.g., because the value is unassigned or left for private use).

   This registry is expected to be updated infrequently; as such, its
   values are limited to one octet.

   The policy for updates to the "SNMP-TLSTM HashAlgorithms" registry is
   Expert Review [RFC8126].  Registry requests should be sent to the
   <mailto:snmp-tlstm-reg-review@ietf.org> mailing list.  Registration
   requests sent to the mailing list for review SHOULD use an
   appropriate subject (e.g., 'Request to register value in "SNMP-TLSTM
   HashAlgorithms" registry').  In addition, designated experts should
   consult with the <mailto:tls-reg-review@ietf.org> mailing list to
   make sure that any new hash algorithms are considered for inclusion
   in this registry.

   Designated experts SHOULD ascertain the existence of suitable
   documentation that defines a hash algorithm and SHOULD also verify
   that the request does not conflict with or duplicate other entries in
   the registry.  The experts should also provide a recommendation as to
   how the "Recommended" column of the registry should be updated.  Only
   publicly available specifications that represent current industry-
   accepted practices should receive an assignment of "Y" in the
   "Recommended" column; all other specific assignments in the registry
   should receive an assignment of "N".  Assignments that are
   nonspecific (e.g., reserved values) SHOULD NOT receive an assigned
   value for the "Recommended" column.

   Within the three-week review period, the designated experts will
   either approve or deny the registration request, communicating this
   decision to the review list and IANA.  Denials SHOULD include an
   explanation and, if applicable, suggestions as to how to make the
   request successful.  Registration requests that are undetermined for
   a period longer than three weeks can be brought to the IESG's
   attention (using the <mailto:iesg@ietf.org> mailing list) for
   resolution.

   IANA MUST only accept registry updates from the designated experts
   and SHOULD direct all requests for registration to the review mailing
   list.  While future additions to the "TLS HashAlgorithm" registry
   (i.e., the registry from which the "SNMP-TLSTM HashAlgorithms"
   registry was spawned) are not expected, any future additions to the
   "TLS HashAlgorithm" registry MUST be consistent with the values
   assigned in the "SNMP-TLSTM HashAlgorithms" registry.

   It is suggested that multiple designated experts be appointed who are
   able to represent the perspectives of different applications using
   this specification, in order to enable broadly informed reviews of
   registration decisions.  In cases where a registration decision could
   be perceived as creating a conflict of interest for a particular
   expert, that expert SHOULD defer to the judgment of the other
   experts.
