Internet-Draft Registration Interface YANG Data Model July 2019
1. Introduction
A number of Network Security Functions (NSF) may exist in the
Interface to Network Security Functions (I2NSF) framework [RFC8329].
Since each of these NSFs likely has different security capabilities
from each other, it is important to register the security
capabilities of the NSF into the security controller. In addition,
it is required to search NSFs of some required security capabilities
on demand. As an example, if additional security capabilities are
required to serve some security service request(s) from an I2NSF
user, the security controller should be able to request the DMS for
NSFs that have the required security capabilities.
This document describes an information model (see Section 5) and a
YANG [RFC7950] data model (see Section 6) for the I2NSF Registration
Interface [RFC8329] between the security controller and the
developer's management system (DMS) to support NSF capability
registration and query via the registration interface. It also
describes the operations which should be performed by the security
controller and the DMS via the Registration Interface using the
defined model.
2. 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
[RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals,
as shown here.
3. Terminology
This document uses the following terms defined in
[i2nsf-terminology], [capability-dm], [RFC8329],
[supa-policy-data-model], and [supa-policy-info-model]
o Network Security Function (NSF): A function that is responsible
for specific treatment of received packets. A Network Security
Function can act at various layers of a protocol stack (e.g., at
the network layer or other OSI layers). Sample Network Security
Service Functions are as follows: Firewall, Intrusion Prevention/
Detection System (IPS/IDS), Deep Packet Inspection (DPI),
Application Visibility and Control (AVC), network virus and
malware scanning, sandbox, Data Loss Prevention (DLP), Distributed
Denial of Service (DDoS) mitigation and TLS proxy.
o Data Model: A data model is a representation of concepts of
interest to an environment in a form that is dependent on data
Hyun, et al. Expires January 25, 2020 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft Registration Interface YANG Data Model July 2019
repository, data definition language, query language,
implementation language, and protocol. [supa-policy-info-model]
o Information Model: An information model is a representation of
concepts of interest to an environment in a form that is
independent of data repository, data definition language, query
language, implementation language, and protocol.
[supa-policy-info-model]
o YANG: This document follows the guidelines of [RFC8407], uses the
common YANG types defined in [RFC6991], and adopts the Network
Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA). The meaning of the
symbols in tree diagrams is defined in [RFC8340].
4. Objectives
o Registering NSFs to I2NSF framework: Developer's Management System
(DMS) in I2NSF framework is typically run by an NSF vendor, and
uses Registration Interface to provide NSFs developed by the NSF
vendor to Security Controller. DMS registers NSFs and their
capabilities to I2NSF framework through Registration Interface.
For the registered NSFs, Security Controller maintains a catalog
of the capabilities of those NSFs.
o Updating the capabilities of registered NSFs: After an NSF is
registered into Security Controller, some modifications on the
capability of the NSF may be required later. In this case, DMS
uses Registration Interface to update the capability of the NSF,
and this update should be reflected on the catalog of NSFs.
o Querying DMS about some required capabilities: In cases that some
security capabilities are required to serve the security service
request from an I2NSF user, Security Controller searches through
the registered NSFs to find ones that can provide the required
capabilities. But Security Controller might fail to find any NSFs
having the required capabilities among the registered NSFs. In
this case, Security Controller need to request DMS for additional
NSF(s) that can provide the required security capabilities via
Registration Interface.
5. Information Model
The I2NSF registration interface is used by Security Controller and
Developer's Management System (DMS) in I2NSF framework. The
following summarizes the operations done through the registration
interface:
Hyun, et al. Expires January 25, 2020 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft Registration Interface YANG Data Model July 2019
1) DMS registers NSFs and their capabilities to Security Controller
via the registration interface. DMS also uses the registration
interface to update the capabilities of the NSFs registered
previously.
2) In case that Security Controller fails to find any registered NSF
that can provide some required capabilities, Security Controller
queries DMS about NSF(s) having the required capabilities via the
registration interface.
Figure 1 shows the information model of the I2NSF registration
interface, which consists of two submodels: NSF capability
registration and NSF capability query. Each submodel is used for the
operations listed above. The remainder of this section will provide
in-depth explanations of each submodel.

Figure 1: I2NSF Registration Interface Information Model
5.1. NSF Capability Registration
This submodel is used by DMS to register an NSF to Security
Controller. Figure 2 shows how this submodel is constructed. The
most important part in Figure 2 is the NSF capability, and this
specifies the set of capabilities that the NSF to be registered can
offer. The NSF Name contains a unique name of this NSF with the
specified set of capabilities. When registering the NSF, DMS
additionally includes the network access information of the NSF which
is required to enable network communications with the NSF.
The following will further explain the NSF capability information and
the NSF access information in more detail.

5.1.1. NSF Capability Information
NSF Capability Information basically describes the security
capabilities of an NSF. In Figure 3, we show capability objects of
an NSF. Following the information model of NSF capabilities defiend
in [capability-dm], we share the same I2NSF security capabilities:
Time Capabilities, Event Capabilities, Condition Capabilities, Action
Capabilities, Resolution Strategy Capabilities, Default Action
Capabilities, and IPsec Method [i2nsf-ipsec]. Also, NSF Capability
Information additionally contains the performance capabilities of an
NSF as shown in Figure 3.

Figure 3: NSF Capability Information
5.1.1.1. Performance Capabilities
This information represents the processing capability of an NSF.
This information can be used to determine whether the NSF is in
congestion by comparing this with the workload that the NSF currently
undergoes. Moreover, this information can specify an available
amount of each type of resources such as processing power which are
available on the NSF. (The registration interface can control the
usages and limitations of the created instance and make the
appropriate request according to the status.) As illustrated in
Figure 4, this information consists of two items: Processing and
Bandwidth. Processing information describes the NSF's available
processing power. Bandwidth describes the information about
available network amount in two cases, outbound, inbound. This two
information can be used for the NSF's instance request.

Figure 4: Performance Capability Overview
5.1.2. NSF Access Information
NSF Access Information contains the followings that are required to
communicate with an NSF: IPv4 address, IPv6 address, port number, and
supported transport protocol(s) (e.g., Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN)
[RFC 7348], Generic Protocol Extension for VXLAN (VXLAN-GPE)
[nvo3-vxlan-gpe], Generic Route Encapsulation (GRE), Ethernet etc.).
In this document, NSF Access Information is used to identify a
specific NSF instance (i.e. NSF Access Information is the
signature(unique identifier) of an NSF instance in the overall
system).
5.2. NSF Capability Query
Security Controller may require some additional capabilities to serve
the security service request from an I2NSF user, but none of the
registered NSFs has the required capabilities. In this case,
Security Controller makes a description of the required capabilities
by using the NSF capability information sub-model in Section 5.1.1,
and sends DMS a query about which NSF(s) can provide these
capabilities.

6.1. YANG Tree Diagram
This section provides the YANG Tree diagram of the I2NSF registration
interface.

Internet-Draft Registration Interface YANG Data Model July 2019
6.1.1. Definition of Symbols in Tree Diagrams
A simplified graphical representation of the data model is used in
this section. The meaning of the symbols used in the following
diagrams [RFC8431] is as follows:
Brackets "[" and "]" enclose list keys.
Abbreviations before data node names: "rw" means configuration
(read-write) and "ro" state data (read-only).
Symbols after data node names: "?" means an optional node and "*"
denotes a "list" and "leaf-list".
Parentheses enclose choice and case nodes, and case nodes are also
marked with a colon (":").
Ellipsis ("...") stands for contents of subtrees that are not
shown.

Figure 5: YANG Tree of I2NSF Registration Interface
The I2NSF registration interface is used for the following purposes.
Developer's Management System (DMS) registers NSFs and their
capabilities into Security Controller via the registration interface.
In case that Security Controller fails to find any NSF among the
registered NSFs which can provide some required capabilities,
Security Controller uses the registration interface to query DMS
about NSF(s) having the required capabilities. The following
sections describe the YANG data models to support these operations.
6.1.2.1. NSF Capability Registration

Secure Shell (SSH) [RFC6242]. The lowest RESTCONF layer is HTTPS,
and the required secure transport is TLS [RFC8446].
The NETCONF access control model [RFC8341] provides a means of
restricting access to specific NETCONF or RESTCONF users to a
preconfigured subset of all available NETCONF or RESTCONF protocol
operations and content.
There are a number of data nodes defined in this YANG module that are
writable/creatable/deletable (i.e., config true, which is the
default). These data nodes may be considered sensitive or vulnerable
in some network environments. Write operations (e.g., edit-config)
to these data nodes without proper protection can have a negative
effect on network operations. These are the subtrees and data nodes
and their sensitivity/vulnerability:

Internet-Draft Registration Interface YANG Data Model July 2019
o i2nsf-nsf-registrations: The attacker may exploit this to register
a compromised or malicious NSF instead of a legitimate NSF to the
Security Controller.
o i2nsf-nsf-performance-capability: The attacker may provide
incorrect information of the performance capability of any target
NSF by illegally modifying this.
o i2nsf-nsf-capability-info: The attacker may provide incorrect
information of the security capability of any target NSF by
illegally modifying this.
o i2nsf-nsf-access-info: The attacker may provide incorrect network
access information of any target NSF by illegally modifying this.
Some of the readable data nodes in this YANG module may be considered
sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus
important to control read access (e.g., via get, get-config, or
notification) to these data nodes. These are the subtrees and data
nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability:
o i2nsf-nsf-registrations: The attacker may try to gather some
sensitive information of a registered NSF by sniffing this.
o i2nsf-nsf-performance-capability: The attacker may gather the
performance capability information of any target NSF and misuse
the information for subsequent attacks.
o i2nsf-nsf-capability-info: The attacker may gather the security
capability information of any target NSF and misuse the
information for subsequent attacks.
o i2nsf-nsf-access-info: The attacker may gather the network access
information of any target NSF and misuse the information for
subsequent attacks.
The RPC operation in this YANG module may be considered sensitive or
vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus important to
control access to this operation. The following is the operation and
its sensitivity/vulnerability:
o i2nsf-nsf-capability-query: The attacker may exploit this RPC
operation to deteriorate the availability of the DMS and/or gather
the information of some interested NSFs from the DMS.

Appendix B. NSF Lifecycle Managmenet in NFV Environments
Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) can be used to implement I2NSF
framework. In NFV environments, NSFs are deployed as virtual network
functions (VNFs). Security Controller can be implemented as an
Element Management (EM) of the NFV architecture, and is connected
with the VNF Manager (VNFM) via the Ve-Vnfm interface
[nfv-framework]. Security Controller can use this interface for the
purpose of the lifecycle management of NSFs. If some NSFs need to be
instantiated to enforce security policies in the I2NSF framework,
Security Controller could request the VNFM to instantiate them
through the Ve-Vnfm interface. Or if an NSF, running as a VNF, is
not used by any traffic flows for a time period, Security Controller
may request deinstantiating it through the interface for efficient
resource utilization.
