Introduction In an I2NSF framework, each vendor can register their NSFs using a Developer's Management System (DMS). Assuming that vendors also provide the front-end web applications registered with an I2NSF User, the Consumer-Facing Interface is required because the web applications developed by each vendor need to have a standard interface specifying the data types used when the I2NSF User and Security Controller communicate using this interface. Therefore, this document specifies the required information, their data types, and encoding schemes so that high-level security policies (or configuration information for security policies) can be transferred to the Security Controller through the Consumer-Facing Interface. These policies can easily be translated by the Security Controller into low-level security policies. The Security Controller delivers the translated policies to Network Security Functions (NSFs) according to their respective security capabilities for the required securiy enforcement. The Consumer-Facing Interface would be built using a set of objects, with each object capturing a unique set of information from Security Administrator (i.e., I2NSF User [RFC8329]) needed to express a Security Policy. An object may have relationship with various other objects to express a complete set of requirements. An information model captures the managed objects and relationship among these objects. The information model proposed in this document is structured in accordance with the "Event-Condition-Action" (ECA) policy model. An NSF Capability model is proposed in [i2nsf-capability-im] as the basic model for both the NSF-Facing interface and Consumer-Facing Interface security policy model of this document. [RFC3444] explains differences between an information and data model. This document uses the guidelines in [RFC3444] to define both the information and data model for Consumer-Facing Interface. Figure 1 shows a high-level abstraction of Consumer-Facing Interface. A data Jeong, et al. Expires December 14, 2019 [Page 3] Internet-Draft Consumer-Facing Interface YANG Data Model June 2019 model, which represents an implementation of the information model in a specific data representation language, is also defined in this document. +-----------------+ +-----------------+ | Consumer-Facing | | Consumer-Facing | | Interface +--->+ Interface | |Information Model| | Data Model | +--------+--------+ +-----------------+ ^ | +-------------+-------------+------------+ | | | | +----+----+ +-----+----+ +-----+----+ +----+----+ | Multi | | Policy | | Endpoint | | Threat | | Tenancy | | | | groups | | feed | +---------+ +-----+----+ +----------+ +---------+ ^ | +------+------+ | Rule | +------+------+ ^ | +----------------+----------------+ | | | +------+------+ +------+------+ +------+------+ | Event | | Condition | | Action | +-------------+ +-------------+ +-------------+ Figure 1: Diagram for High-level Abstraction of Consumer-Facing Interface Data models are defined at a lower level of abstraction and provide many details. They provide details about the implementation of a protocol's specification, e.g., rules that explain how to map managed objects onto lower-level protocol constructs. Since conceptual models can be implemented in different ways, multiple data models can be derived from a single information model. The efficient and flexible provisioning of network functions by a Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) system leads to a rapid advance in the network industry. As practical applications, Network Security Functions (NSFs), such as firewall, Intrusion Detection System (IDS)/Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), and attack mitigation, can also be provided as Virtual Network Functions (VNF) in the NFV system. By the efficient virtualization technology, these Jeong, et al. Expires December 14, 2019 [Page 4] Internet-Draft Consumer-Facing Interface YANG Data Model June 2019 VNFs might be automatically provisioned and dynamically migrated based on real-time security requirements. This document presents a YANG data model to implement security functions based on NFV. 2. Requirements Language The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC3444] RFC8174 [RFC8174]. 3. Terminology This document uses the terminology described in [i2nsf-terminology][client-facing-inf-req]. This document follows the guidelines of [RFC6087], 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. Information Model for Policy A Policy object represents a mechanism to express a Security Policy by Security Administrator (i.e., I2NSF User) using Consumer-Facing Interface toward Security Controller; the policy would be enforced on an NSF. Figure 2 shows the XML instance of the Policy object. The Policy object SHALL have the following information: Name: This field identifies the name of this object. Date: Date when this object was created or last modified. Rules: This field contains a list of rules. If the rule does not have a user-defined precedence, then any conflict must be manually resolved. +--rw policy +--rw policy-name? string +--rw rule* [rule-name] | +--rw event | +--rw condition | +--rw action ... Figure 2: Policy YANG Data Tree Jeong, et al. Expires December 14, 2019 [Page 5] Internet-Draft Consumer-Facing Interface YANG Data Model June 2019 A policy is a container of Rules. In order to express a Rule, a Rule must have complete information such as where and when a policy needs to be applied. This is done by defining a set of managed objects and relationship among them. A Policy Rule may be related segmentation, threat mitigation or telemetry data collection from an NSF in the network, which will be specified as the sub-model of the policy model in the subsequent sections. Figure 3 shows the XML instance of the Rule object. The rule object SHALL have the following information: Name: This field identifies the name of this object. Date: This field indicates the date when this object was created or last modified. Event: This field includes the information to determine whether the Rule Condition can be evaluated or not. See details in Section 3.1. Condition: This field contains all the checking conditions to apply to the objective traffic. See details in Section 4.2. Action: This field identifies the action taken when a rule is matched. There is always an implicit action to drop traffic if no rule is matched for a traffic type. See details in Section 4.3. IPsec-Method: This field contains the information about IPsec method type. There are two types such as IPsec-IKE and IPsec-IKEless. [i2nsf-ipsec]. Owner: This field contains the onwer of the rule. For example, the person who created it, and eligible for modifying it. +--rw rule* [rule-name] +--rw rule-name string +--rw date? yang:date-and-time +--rw event* [name] +--rw condition +--rw action +--rw ipsec-method +--rw owner? string Figure 3: YANG Data Tree for Rule Jeong, et al.

The Rule could be activated based on a time calendar or security event including threat level changes. Figure 4 shows the XML instance of the Event object. Event object SHALL have following information: Name: This field identifies the name of this object. Date: This field indicates the date when this object was created or last modified. Event-Type: This field identifies whether the event of triggering policy enforcement is "ADMIN-ENFORCED", "TIME-ENFORCED" or "EVENT-ENFORCED". Time-Information: This field contains a time calendar such as "BEGIN-TIME" and "END-TIME" for one time enforcement or recurring time calendar for periodic enforcement. +--rw event +--rw name? string +--rw date? yang:date-and-time +--rw event-type enumeration +--rw time-information +--rw time | +--rw begin-time begin-time-type | +--rw end-time end-time-type +--rw recursive +--rw recur boolean +--rw recursive-type? enumeration Figure 4: Event Sub-model YANG Data Tree 4.2. Condition Sub-model This object represents Conditions that Security Administrator wants to apply the checking on the traffic in order to determine whether the set of actions in the Rule can be executed or not. The Condition Sub-model consists of three different types of containers each representing different cases, such as general firewall and DDoS- mitigation cases, and a case when the condition is based on the payload strings of packets. Each containers have source-target and destination-target to represent the source and destination for each case. Figure 5 shows the XML instance of the Condition object. The Condition Sub-model SHALL have following information: Jeong, et al. Expires December 14, 2019 [Page 7] Internet-Draft Consumer-Facing Interface YANG Data Model June 2019 Firewall-condition: This field represents the general firewall case, where a security admin can set up firewall conditions using the information present in this field. The source and destination is represented as source-target and destination-target, each referring to the IP-address-based groups defined in the endpoint-group. DDoS-condition: This field represents the condition for DDoS mitigation, where a security admin can set up DDoS mitigation conditions using the information present in this field. The source and destination is represented as source-target and destination-target, each referring to the device-groups defined and registered in the endpoint-group. Custom-condition: This field contains the payload string information. This information is useful when security rule condition is based on the string contents of incoming or outgoing packets. The source and destination is represented as source-target and destination-target, each referring to the payload-groups defined and registered in the endpoint-group. +--rw condition +--rw firewall-condition | +--rw source-target | | +--rw src-target? -> /policy | | /endpoint-group | | /user-group | | /name | +--rw destination-target | | +--rw dest-target* -> /policy | | /endpoint-group | | /user-group | | /name +--rw ddos-condition | +--rw source-target | | +--rw src-target* -> /policy | | /endpoint-group | | /device-group | | /name | +--rw destination-target | | +--rw dest-target* -> /policy | | /endpoint-group | | /device-group | | /name | +--rw rate-limit | +--rw packet-per-second? uint8 +--rw custom-condition Jeong, et al.

Information Model for Multi-Tenancy Multi-tenancy is an important aspect of any application that enables multiple administrative domains in order to manage application resources. An Enterprise organization may have multiple tenants or departments such as Human Resources (HR), Finance, and Legal, with each tenant having a need to manage their own Security Policies. In a Service Provider, a tenant could represent a Customer that wants to manage its own Security Policies. There are multiple managed objects that constitute multi-tenancy aspects as shown in Figure 7. This section lists these objects and the relationship among these objects. Below diagram shows an example of multi-tenancy in an Enterprise domain. +-------------------+ (Multi-Tenancy) | Domain | |(e.g., Enterprise) | +---------+---------+ ^ | +--------------------+--------------------+ | | | +--------+-------+ +---------+--------+ +--------+--------+ | Department 1 | | Department 2 | | Department n | +--------+-------+ +---------+--------+ +--------+--------+ ^ ^ ^ | | | +--------+--------+ +-----------------+ +--------+--------+ | Sub-domain 1..n | | Sub-domain 1..n | | Sub-domain 1..n | +--------+--------+ +--------+--------+ +--------+--------+ ^ ^ ^ | | | +--------+--------+ +--------+--------+ +--------+--------+ | Tenant 1..n | | Tenant 1..n | | Tenant 1..n | +-----------------+ +-----------------+ +-----------------+ Figure 7: Multi-tenancy Diagram 5.1. Policy Domain This object defines a boundary for the purpose of policy management within a Security Controller. This may vary based on how the Security Controller is deployed and hosted. For example, if an Enterprise hosts a Security Controller in their network; the domain in this case could just be the one that represents that Enterprise. But if a Cloud Service Provider hosts managed services, then a domain could represent a single customer of that Provider. Figure 8 shows Jeong, et al. Expires December 14, 2019 [Page 10] Internet-Draft Consumer-Facing Interface YANG Data Model June 2019 the XML instance of the Policy-Domain object.

Information Model for Policy Endpoint Groups The Policy Endpoint Group is a very important part of building User- Construct based policies. A Security Administrator would create and use these objects to represent a logical entity in their business environment, where a Security Policy is to be applied. There are multiple managed objects that constitute a Policy's Endpoint Group as shown in Figure 13. Figure 14 shows the XML instance of the Endpoint-Group object. This section lists these objects and relationship among them. +-------------------+ | Endpoint Group | +---------+---------+ ^ | +--------------+----------------+ 1..n | 1..n | 1..n | +-----+----+ +------+-----+ +-------+------+ |User-group| |Device-group| |Location-group| +----------+ +------------+ +--------------+ Figure 13: Endpoint Group Diagram +--rw endpoint-group +--rw user-group* [name] | ... +--rw device-group* [name] | ... +--rw location-group* [name] ...

Role-based Acess Control (RBAC) Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) provides a powerful and centralized control within a network. It is a policy neutral access control mechanism defined around roles and privileges. The components of RBAC, such as role-permissions, user-role and role-role relationships, make it simple to perform user assignments. +--------------+ | | | User 1 + (has many) | |\ +--------------+ \ +---------------+ +-------------+ . \ | | (has many) | | . --->+ List of roles +----------->+ Permissions | +--------------+ / | | | | | | / +---------------+ +-------------+ | User n +/ | | (has many) +--------------+ Figure 22: Role-based Acess Control Diagram As shown in Figure 22, a role represents a collection of permissions (e.g., accessing a file server or other particular resources). A Jeong, et al. Expires December 14, 2019 [Page 19] Internet-Draft Consumer-Facing Interface YANG Data Model June 2019 role may be assigned to one or multiple users. Both roles and permissions can be organized in a hirarchy. A role may consists of other roles and permissions. Following are the steps required to build RBAC: 1. Defining roles and permissions. 2. Establishing relations among roles and permissions. 3. Defining users. 4. Associating rules with roles and permissions. 5. assigning roles to users. 9. YANG Data Model for Security Policies for Consumer-Facing Interface The main objective of this data model is to provide both an information model and the corresponding YANG data model of I2NSF Consumer-Facing Interface. This interface can be used to deliver control and management messages between an I2NSF User and Security Controller for the I2NSF User's high-level security policies. The semantics of the data model must be aligned with the information model of the Consumer-Facing Interface. The transformation of the information model was performed so that this YANG data model can facilitate the efficient delivery of the control or management messages. This data model is designed to support the I2NSF framework that can be extended according to the security needs. In other words, the model design is independent of the content and meaning of specific policies as well as the implementation approach. This document suggests a VoIP/VoLTE security service as a use case for policy rule generation. This section describes a YANG data model for Consumer-Facing Interface, based on the information model of Consumer-Facing Interface to Security Controller. file "ietf-cfi-policy.yang" module ietf-i2nsf-cfi-policy { yang-version 1.1; namespace "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-i2nsf-cfi-policy"; prefix cfi-policy; Jeong, et al.

Expires December 14, 2019 [Page 38] Internet-Draft Consumer-Facing Interface YANG Data Model June 2019 10.1. DB Registration: Information of Positions and Devices (Endpoint Group) In order to create a rule of a security policy, it is essential to first register data (those which are used to form such rule) to the database. For example, The endpoint group consists of three different groups: user-group, device-group, and payload-group. Each of these groups have separate group members with information other than meta ("name" or "date"), such as ip-addresses or protocols used by devices. Figure 24 shows an example XML representation of the registered information for the user-group and device-group. employees 221.159.112.1 221.159.112.90 webservers 221.159.112.91 221.159.112.97 http https Figure 24: Registering User-group and Device-group Information 10.2. Scenario 1: Block SNS Access during Business Hours The first example scenario is to "block SNS access during business hours" using a time-based firewall policy. In this scenario, all users registered as "employee" in the user-group list are unable to access Social Networking Services (SNS) during the office hours.

"sns-websites" is the key which represents the list containing the information, such as URL, about sns-websites. 5. The action required is to "drop" any attempt to connect to websites related to Social networking. Jeong, et al. Expires December 14, 2019 [Page 40] Internet-Draft Consumer-Facing Interface YANG Data Model June 2019 6. The IPsec method type used for nsf traffic steering is set to "ipsec-ike". 10.3. Scenario 2: Block Malicious VoIP/VoLTE Packets Coming to a Company The second example scenario is to "block malicious VoIP/VoLTE packets coming to a company" using a VoIP policy. In this scenario, the calls comming from from VOIP and/or VOLTE sources with VOLTE IDs that are classified as malicious are dropped. The IP addresses of the employees and malicious VOIP IDs should be blocked are stored in the database or datastore of the enterprise. Here and the rest of the cases assume that the security administrators or someone responsible for the existing and newly generated policies, are not aware of which and/or how many NSFs are needed to meet the security requirements. Figure 26 represents the XML document generated from YANG discussed in previous sections. Once a high-level seucurity policy is created by a security admin, it is delivered by the Consumer-Facing Interface, through RESTCONF server, to the security controller. The XML instance is described below: security_policy_for_blocking_malicious_voip_packets Block_malicious_voip_and_volte_packets malicious-id employees drop ipsec-ikeless Figure 26: An XML Example for VoIP Security Service Jeong, et al.

This can be a single ID or a list of IDs, depending on how the ID are stored in the database. The "malicious-id" is the key so that the security admin can read every stored malicious VOIP IDs that are named as "malicious-id". 4. The destination target is "employees". "employees" is the key which represents the list containing information about employees, such as IP addresses. 5. The action required is "drop" when any incoming packets are from "malicious-id". 6. The IPsec method used for nsf traffic steering is set to "ipsec- ikeless". 10.4. Scenario 3: Mitigate HTTP and HTTPS Flood Attacks on a Company Web Server The third example scenario is to "Mitigate HTTP and HTTPS flood attacks on a company web server" using a DDoS-attack mitigation policy. Here, the time information is not set because the service provided by the network should be maintained at all times. If the packets sent by any sources are more than the set threshold, then the admin can set the percentage of the packets to be dropped to safely maintain the service. In this scenario, the source is set as "any" to block any sources which send abnormal amount of packets. The destination is set as "web_server01". Once the rule is set and delivered and enforced to the nsfs by the securiy controller, the NSFs will monitor the incoming packet amounts and the destination to act according to the rule set.

"webservers" is the key which represents the list containing information, such as IP addresses and ports, about web-servers. 4. The rate limit exists to limit the incoming amount of packets per second. In this case the rate limit is "100" packets per second. This amount depends on the packet receiving capacity of the server devices. 5. The Source-target is all sources which send abnormal amount of packets. 6.
