                 Attestation Event Stream Subscription
             draft-ietf-rats-network-device-subscription-09

Abstract

   This document defines how to subscribe to YANG Event Streams for
   Remote Attestation Procedures (RATS).  Specifically, this document
   defines a YANG module that augments the YANG module for TPM-based
   Challenge-Response Remote Attestation (CHARRA), enabling subscription
   to RATS Conceptual Messages of the Evidence type and auxiliary Event
   Logs as part of that Evidence.  The module defined requires at least
   one TPM 1.2 or TPM 2.0 (or equivalent hardware implementation
   providing the same protected capabilities as a TPM) must be available
   on the Attester on which the YANG server is running.

Internet-Draft           RATS YANG Subscription             January 2026

1.  Introduction

   [RFC9683] and [RFC9684] define the operational prerequisites and a
   YANG Model for acquiring Evidence from a network device containing at
   least one TPM 1.2 or TPM 2.0 (or equivalent hardware implementations
   providing the same protected capabilities [TCG-Glossary] as a TPM).
   However, these documents are based on the challenge-response
   interaction model (CHARRA in Section 7.1 of
   [I-D.ietf-rats-reference-interaction-models]), which has limitations.
   One such limitation is that it is the responsibility of a Verifier to
   request signed Evidence from a separate Attester containing a TPM.
   This means that the interval between a security-relevant change event
   occurring and the event becoming visible to the interested RATS
   entities, such as a Verifiers or a Relying Parties, can be
   unacceptably long.  It is common to convey Conceptual Messages ad-hoc
   or periodically via requests.  As new technologies emerge, some of
   these solutions require Conceptual Messages to be conveyed from one
   RATS entity to another without the need for continuous polling.
   Subscription to YANG Notifications [RFC8639] provides a set of
   standardized tools to facilitate these emerging requirements.  This
   memo specifies a YANG augmentation for subscribing to YANG-modelled
   remote attestation Evidence, as defined in [RFC9684].

   Essentially, the limitation of poll-based interactions has two
   adverse effects:

   1.  Conceptual Messages are not streamed to interested consumers of
       information (e.g., Verifiers or Relying Parties) as soon as they
       are generated.

   2.  Even if they were streamed, the freshness of Conceptual Messages
       cannot be appraised in every scenario.  This is particularly
       important for Conceptual Messages, such as Evidence, that depend
       heavily on freshness.

   This specification addresses the first adverse effect by enabling
   consumers of Conceptual Messages (subscribers) to request a
   continuous stream of new or updated Conceptual Messages via an
   [RFC8639] subscription to an <attestation> Event Stream.  This new
   Event Stream is defined in this document and is provided by the
   producer of Conceptual Messages (the publisher).  As covered by this
   document, via a Verifier's subscription to an Attester's Evidence,
   the Attester will continuously stream a requested set of freshly
   generated Evidence to the subscribing Verifier.  For example, when a
   network device's Evidence changes following events such as booting,
   updating, control unit failover, plugging in or out of forwarding
   units, an attack, or certificate lifetime change, the network device
   will generate fresh Evidence available to the subscribing Verifier.

Internet-Draft           RATS YANG Subscription             January 2026

   The second adverse effect stems from the use of nonces in the
   challenge-response interaction model Section 7.1 of
   [I-D.ietf-rats-reference-interaction-models] realized in [RFC9684].
   According to [RFC9684], an Attester must wait for a new nonce from a
   Verifier before generating a new TPM Quote.  To address delays
   resulting from this wait, this specification allows freshness to be
   asserted asynchronously via the streaming attestation interaction
   model [I-D.ietf-rats-reference-interaction-models].  To convey a RATS
   Conceptual Message, an initial nonce is provided when subscribing to
   an Event Stream.

   There are several options to populate or refresh the nonce value
   provided by the initial subscription.  All of these methods are out-
   of-band of an established subscription to YANG Notifications.  Two
   alternative methods are taken into account by this document:

   1.  A central provider supplies new, fresh nonces (e.g., via a Handle
       Provider that distributes Epoch IDs to all entities in a domain
       as described in [RFC9334] and as facilitated by the Uni-
       Directional Remote Attestation described in Section 7.2 of
       [I-D.ietf-rats-reference-interaction-models]), or

   2.  A nonce can be updated by -- potentially periodically or ad-hoc
       -- sending out-of-band TPM Quote requests as facilitated by
       [RFC9684].

   Both approaches assume that clock drift can occur between the
   entities involved.  Consequently, other conditions arising in
   different application scenarios ought to be considered in the same
   way.  For example, the time of Claims collection ought to be taken
   into account as it potentially impacts the freshness of Evidence.

   The scope of this document is limited to the removal of the two
   adverse effects described when using the specified YANG augmentation.
   In essence, the YANG augmentation enables RATS Verifiers to maintain
   a continuous appraisal procedure of verifiably fresh Attester
   Evidence without relying on continuous polling.

2.  Terminology

   The following terms are imported from [RFC9334]: Attester, Conceptual
   Message, Evidence, Relying Party, and Verifier.  Also imported are
   the time definitions time(VG), time(NS), time(EG), time(RG), and
   time(RA) from that document's Appendix A.  The following terms are
   imported from [RFC8639]: Event Stream, Subscription, Publisher, Event
   Stream Filter, Dynamic Subscription.

2.1.  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 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
   capitals, as shown here.

3.  Operational Model

   [RFC9683] describes the conveyance of TPM-based Evidence from a
   Verifier to an Attester using the CHARRA interaction model
   Section 7.1 of [I-D.ietf-rats-reference-interaction-models].  The
   operational model and corresponding sequence diagram described in
   this section is based on [RFC9684].  The basis for interoperability
   required for additional types of Event Streams is covered in
   Section 6.  The following sub-section focuses on subscription to YANG
   Notifications to the <attestation> Event Stream.

3.1.  Sequence Diagrams

   This section illustrates the subscription interaction model by
   mapping terms from [I-D.ietf-rats-reference-interaction-models] and
   illustrating timing consideration based on Figure 3 of [RFC9683].
   Both sequence diagrams Figure 1 and Figure 2 highlight TPM-specific
   aspects and the Dynamic Subscription (as specified in [RFC8639]) to
   an <attestation> Event Stream.  The contents of the <attestation>
   Event Stream are defined below within Section 4.

3.1.1.  Terminology Mapping

   The terms defined in [RFC9684] are mapped to the model described in
   Section 7.3.1 of [I-D.ietf-rats-reference-interaction-models]
   (Streaming Remote Attestation without a Broker) to produce the
   sequence diagram Figure 1.

   The terminology mapping is as follows:

   *  handle is substituted with nonce, a nonce generated by the
      Verifier.  This is a nonce-value byte string, obtained from either
      the tpm12-challenge-response-attestation RPC or the tpm20-
      challenge-response-attestation RPC, as specified in [RFC9684].
      Hence, in this case, a 'nonce' value is populated out of band and
      can be used more than once within the scope of a subscription,
      based on local policies that enforce freshness requirements.

   *  attEnvIDs is substituted with TpmName, a TPM "name" text string
      selected from the tpms Container, as specified in [RFC9684]

Internet-Draft           RATS YANG Subscription             January 2026

   *  claimsSelection is substituted with PcrSelection, an optional
      "pcr-index" from either the tpm12-challenge-response-attestation
      RPC or the tpm20-challenge-response-attestation RPC as specified
      in [RFC9684].  If no PCR is selected, all PCR banks are returned.

   *  claims is substituted with PcrQuotes, which is the "output" of
      either the tpm12-challenge-response-attestation RPC or the tpm20-
      challenge-response-attestation RPC, as specified in [RFC9684].
      Unlike event logs, there is no delta to a previous iteration of
      PCR Quotes during a subscription; all new (selected) Quotes are
      conveyed as fresh Evidence.

   *  eventLogs represents "system-event-logs" that are in the "output"
      of the log-retrieval RPC, as defined in [RFC9684].

   *  eventLogsDelta represents "system-event-logs" as specified in the
      "output" of the log-retrieval RPC as defined in [RFC9684] where
      the "output" is limited as if the "input" were parameterized via
      an index type (last-entry, index, timestamp) set to the last event
      in the previously conveyed eventLogs.

3.1.2.  Time Considerations Mapping

   [RFC9334] defines "Relevant Events over Time" in RATS which also
   provides the input for Figure 3 of [RFC9683].  The following sequence
   diagram focusses on matching the defined events with the interactions
   between the Attester and the Verifying Relying Party.  The action of
   conveying "collectClaims", which is defined in Section 6 of
   [I-D.ietf-rats-reference-interaction-models], is not defined by
   [RFC9334].  As a result, that action cannot be matched to a specified
   event time.

   *  time(VG,RG,RA) are identical to the corresponding time definitions
      from [RFC9683].

   *  time(VG',RG',RA') are subsequent instances of the corresponding
      times from Figure 3 in [RFC9683].

   *  time(NS) – the subscriber generates a nonce and makes an [RFC8639]
      <establish-subscription> request based on that nonce value.  This
      request also includes the augmentations defined in this document's
      YANG model.  Key subscription RPC parameters include:

      -  the nonce,

      -  a set of PCRs of interest which the Verifier wants to be
         appraised, and

      -  an optional filter that can reduce the logged events on the
         <attestation> stream pushed to the Verifier.

   *  time(EG) – an initial response of Evidence is returned to the
      Verifier.  This includes:

      -  a replay of filtered log entries, which have extended into a
         PCR of interest since boot, are sent in the <pcr-extend>
         notification, and

      -  a signed TPM quote that contains at least the PCRs from the
         <establish-subscription> RPC are included in a
         <tpm12-attestation> or <tpm20-attestation>).  This quote must
         have been generated based on the nonce value provided at
         time(NS).

   *  time(VG',EG') – this occurs when a PCR is extended subsequent to
      time(EG).  Immediately after the extension, the following
      information needs to be pushed to the Verifier:

      -  any values extended into a PCR of interest,

      -  a signed TPM Quote showing the result the PCR extension, and

      -  a nonce value (see 'handle' above or Section 6 of
         [I-D.ietf-rats-reference-interaction-models]), which is either
         the initially received nonce or a more recently received nonce
         value, for example, a nonce value extracted or derived from an
         Epoch ID (see Section 10.3 of [RFC9334]) that contains a new
         nonce value or equivalent qualified data used as a nonce value.

Internet-Draft           RATS YANG Subscription             January 2026

   One way to acquire a new time synchronisation that allows for the
   reuse of the initially received nonce as a fresh handle is elaborated
   on in Section 3.2 below.

3.2.  Continuously Verifying Freshness

   As there is no new Verifier nonce provided at time(EG'), it is
   important to validate the freshness of TPM Quotes which are delivered
   at that time.Methods of doing this verification vary based on the
   capabilities of the TPM cryptoprocessor used.

3.2.1.  TPM 1.2 Quote

   The [RFC8639] notification format includes the <eventTime> object.
   This can be used to determine the amount of time subsequent to the
   initial subscription each notification was sent.  However, this time
   is not part of the signed results which are returned from the Quote
   and therefore is not trustworthy as objects returned as part of the
   Quote.  Therefore, a Verifier MUST periodically issue a new nonce and
   receive this nonce within a TPM quote response in order to ensure the
   freshness of the results.  This can be done using the <tpm12-
   challenge-response-attestation> RPC from [RFC9684].

3.2.2.  TPM 2 Quote

   When the Attester includes a TPM2-compliant cryptoprocessor, internal
   time-related counters are included within the signed TPM Quote.  By
   including an initial nonce in the [RFC8639] subscription request,
   fresh values for these counters are pushed to the Verifier as part of
   the first TPM Quote.  As shown by [I-D.birkholz-rats-tuda],
   subsequent TPM Quotes delivered to the Verifier out-of-band can be
   appraised for freshness based on the predictable incrementing of
   these time-related counters.

   The relevant internal time-related counters defined within [TPM2.0]
   can be seen within <tpms-clock-info>.  These counters include the
   <clock>, <reset-counter>, and <restart-counter> objects.  The rules
   for appraising these objects are as follows:

   *  If the <clock> has incremented for no more than the same duration
      as both the <eventTime> and the Verifier's internal time since the
      initial time(EG) and any previous time(EG'), then the TPM Quote
      may be considered fresh.  Note that [TPM2.0] allows for +/- 15%
      clock drift.  However, many hardware implementations significantly
      improve on this maximum drift.  If available, chip specific
      maximum drifts SHOULD be considered during the appraisal procedure
      of the Verifier.

Birkholz, et al.          Expires 17 July 2026                 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft           RATS YANG Subscription             January 2026

   *  If the <reset-counter>, <restart-counter> has incremented.  The
      existing subscription MUST be terminated, and a new <establish-
      subscription> SHOULD be generated.

   *  If a TPM Quote on any subscribed PCR has not been pushed to the
      Verifier for a duration of an Attester defined heartbeat interval,
      then a new TPM Quote notification SHOULD be sent to the Verifier.
      This may often be the case, as certain PCRs might be infrequently
      updated.

4.  Remote Attestation Event Stream

   The <attestation> Event Stream is an [RFC8639] compliant Event Stream
   which is defined within this section and within the YANG Module of
   [RFC9684].  This Event Stream contains YANG notifications which carry
   Evidence to assists a Verifier in appraising the Trustworthiness
   Level of an Attester.  Data Nodes within Section 4.6 allow the
   configuration of this Event Stream's contents on an Attester.

   This <attestation> Event Stream may only be exposed on Attesters
   supporting [RFC9683].  As with [RFC9683], it is up to the Verifier to
   understand which types of cryptoprocessors and keys are acceptable.

4.1.  Subscription to the <attestation> Event Stream

   To establish a subscription to an Attester in a way which provides
   provably fresh Evidence, initial randomness must be provided to the
   Attester.  This is done via the augmentation of a <nonce-value> into
   [RFC8639] the <establish-subscription> RPC.  Additionally, a Verifier
   must ask for PCRs of interest from a platform.

     augment /sn:establish-subscription/sn:input:
       +---w nonce-value    binary
       +---w pcr-index*     tpm:pcr

Birkholz, et al.          Expires 17 July 2026                 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft           RATS YANG Subscription             January 2026

   The result of the subscription will be that passing of the following
   information:

   1.  <tpm12-attestation> and <tpm20-attestation> notifications which
       include the provided <nonce-value>.  These attestation
       notifications MUST at least include all the <pcr-indicies>
       requested in the RPC.

   2.  a series of <pcr-extend> notifications which reference the
       requested PCRs on all TPM based cryptoprocessors on the Attester.

   3.  <tpm12-attestation> and <tpm20-attestation> notifications
       generated within a few seconds of the <pcr-extend> notifications.
       These attestation notifications MUST at least include any PCRs
       extended.

   If the Verifier does not want to see the logged extend operations for
   all PCRs available from an Attester, an Event Stream Filter should be
   applied.  This filter will remove Evidence from any PCRs which are
   not interesting to the Verifier.

4.2.  Replaying a History of Previous TPM Extend Operations

   Unless it is relying on Reference Values for TPM Quotes only, a
   Verifier will need to acquire a history of PCR extensions since the
   Attester has been booted.  This history may be requested from the
   Attester as part of the <establish-subscription> RPC.  This request
   is accomplished by placing a very old <replay-start-time> within the
   original RPC request.  As the very old <replay-start-time> will pre-
   date the time of Attester boot, a <replay-start-time-revision> will
   be returned in the <establish-subscription> RPC response, indicating
   when the Attester booted.  Immediately following the response (and
   before the notifications above) one or more <pcr-extend>
   notifications which document all extend operations which have
   occurred for the requested PCRs since boot will be sent.  Multiple
   extend operations to a single PCR index on a single TPM can be
   included within a single notification.

   Note that if a Verifier has a partial history of extensions, the
   <replay-start-time> can be adjusted so that already known extensions
   are not forwarded.

   The end of this history replay will be indicated with the [RFC8639]
   <replay-completed> notification.  For more on this sequence, see
   Section 2.4.2.1 of [RFC8639].

Birkholz, et al.          Expires 17 July 2026                 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft           RATS YANG Subscription             January 2026

   After the <replay-complete> notification is provided, a TPM Quote
   will be requested and the result passed to the Verifier via a
   <tpm12-attestation> and <tpm20-attestation> notification.  If there
   have been any additional extend operations which have changed a
   subscribed PCR value in this quote, these MUST be pushed to the
   Verifier before the <tpm12-attestation> and <tpm20-attestation>
   notification.

   At this point, the Verifier has sufficient Evidence to appraise the
   reported extend operations for each PCR, as well as to compare a
   Reference Value derived from the replay of the Event Log history of
   extensions of the PCR value against those extensions signed by the
   TPM in its most recent Quote.

4.2.1.  TPM2 Heartbeat

   For TPM 2.0, every requested PCR MUST be sent within an
   <tpm20-attestation> and no less frequent than once per heartbeat
   interval.  This MAY be done with a single <tpm20-attestation>
   notification that includes all requested PCRs inside every heartbeat
   interval.  This MAY be done with several <tpm20-attestation>
   notifications at different times during a heartbeat interval.

4.3.  YANG Notifications Placed on the <attestation> Event Stream

4.3.1.  pcr-extend

   This notification type documents when a subscribed PCR is extended
   within a single TPM cryptoprocessor.  It SHOULD be emitted no less
   than the <marshalling-period> after the PCR is first extended.  (The
   reason for the marshalling is that it is quite possible that multiple
   extensions to the same PCR have been made in quick succession, and
   these should be reflected in the same notification.)  This
   notification MUST be emitted prior to a <tpm12-attestation> or
   <tpm20-attestation> notification which has included and signed the
   results of any specific PCR extension.  If PCR extending events occur
   during the generation of the <tpm12-attestation> or
   <tpm20-attestation> notification, the marshalling period MUST be
   extended so that a new <pcr-extend> is not sent until the
   corresponding notifications have been sent.

   Each <pcr-extend> MUST include one or more values being extended into
   the PCR.  These are passed within the <extended-with> object.  For
   each extension, details of the event SHOULD be provided within the
   <event-details> object.  The format of any included <event-details>
   is identified by the <event-type>.  This document includes two YANG
   structures which may be inserted into the <event-details>.  These two
   structures are: <ima-event-log> and <bios-event-log>.
   Implementations wanting to provide additional documentation of a type
   of PCR extension may choose to define additional YANG structures
   which can be placed into <event-details>.

4.3.2.  tpm12-attestation

   This notification contains an instance of a TPM1.2 style signed
   cryptoprocessor measurement.  It is supplemented by Attester
   information which is not signed.  This notification is generated and
   emitted from an Attester when at least one PCR identified within the
   subscribed <pcr-indices> has changed from the previous
   <tpm12-attestation> notification.  This notification MUST NOT include
   the results of any PCR extensions not previously reported by a <pcr-
   extend>.  This notification SHOULD be emitted as soon as a TPM Quote
   can extract the latest PCR hashed values.  This notification MUST be
   emitted prior to a subsequent <pcr-extend>.

   cryptoprocessor measurements.  It is supplemented by Attester
   information which is not signed.  This notification is generated at
   two points in time:

   *  every time at least one PCR has changed from a previous
      <tpm20-attestation>.  In this case, the notification SHOULD be
      emitted within 10 seconds of the corresponding <pcr-extend> being

   All YANG objects above are defined within [RFC9684].  The
   <tpm20-attestation> is not replayable.

4.4.  Filtering Evidence at the Attester

   It can be useful _not_ to receive all Evidence related to a PCR.  An
   example of this is when a Verifier maintains Reference Values (known
   good values) of a PCR.  In this case, it is not necessary to send a
   log of each consecutive extend operation.

   To accomplish this reduction, when an RFC8639 <establish-
   subscription> RPC is sent, a <stream-filter> as per RFC8639,
   Section 2.2 can be set to discard a <pcr-extend> notification when
   the <pcr-index-changed> is uninteresting to the verifier.

4.5.  Replaying Previous PCR Extend Events

   To verify the value of a PCR, a Verifier must either know that the
   value is a "known good" value (see Section 2.3.3 of [KGV] about
   Reference Values) or be able to reconstruct the hash value by viewing
   all the PCR-Extends since the Attester rebooted.  Wherever a hash
   reconstruction might be needed, the <attestation> Event Stream MUST
   support the RFC8639 <replay> feature.  Through the <replay> feature,
   it is possible for a Verifier to retrieve and sequentially hash all
   of the PCR extending events since an Attester booted.  Thereby, the
   Verifier has access to all the Evidence needed to verify a PCR's
   current value.

4.6.  Configuring the <attestation> Event Stream

   Figure 3 is tree diagram which exposes the operator configurable
   elements of the <attestation> Event Stream.  This allows an Attester
   to select what information should be available on the stream.  A
   fetch operation also allows an external device such as a Verifier to
   understand the current configuration of the stream.

   Almost all YANG objects below are defined via reference from
   [RFC9684].  However, there is one object which is new in this model.
   <tpm2-heartbeat> defines the maximum amount of time which should pass
   before a subscriber to the Event Stream should get a
   <tpm20-attestation> notification from devices which contain a TPM2.

6.  Event Streams for Conceptual Messages

   Analogous to the [RFC8639] compliant <attestation> Event Stream for
   the conveyance of remote attestation Evidence as defined in
   Section Section 4, additional Event Streams can be defined for this
   YANG augment.  Additional Event Streams require separate YANG augment
   specifications that provide the Event Stream definition and
   optionally a content format definition either via subscriptions to
   YANG datastores or dedicated YANG Notifications.  It is possible to
   use either YANG subscription methods to other YANG modules for RATS
   Conceptual Messages or to define Event Streams for other none-YANG-
   modeled data.  In the context of RATS Conceptual Messages, both
   options MUST be a specified via YANG augments to this specification.

7.  Privacy Considerations

   The Privacy Considerations of [RFC9683] apply.  Additionally, the
   Security Considerations from [RFC8641] outline how internal
   structures or capabilities about the system can leak, which can have
   an impact in personally identifiable information (PII).

8.  Security Considerations

   The Security Considerations of [RFC9684] and [RFC9683] apply.
   Additionally, the Security Requirements from Section 4.2.5 of
   [RFC7923] and the Security Considerations from Section 5 of [RFC7923]
   apply.  [RFC8641] illustrates specific Security Considerations
   concerning YANG Notifications for Datastore Updates.  For example, it
   provides guidance on identifying sensitive writable subtrees and
   sensitive readable nodes.

9.  IANA Considerations

   This document registers the following namespace URIs in the
   [xml-registry] as per [RFC3688]:

   URI:  urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-tpm-remote-attestation-stream

      Registrant Contact:  The IESG.

      XML:  N/A; the requested URI is an XML namespace.

   This document registers the following YANG module in the registry
   [yang-parameters] as per Section 14 of [RFC6020]:

   Name:  ietf-tpm-remote-attestation-stream

      Namespace:  urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-tpm-remote-
         attestation-stream

      Prefix:  tras
