1.  Introduction

   Network devices such as switches, routers, and firewalls are the
   fundamental elements that a network is composed of.  The
   vulnerabilities of a network device are always exploited by attackers
   to start up eavesdropping, spoofing, and man-in-middle attacks etc.
   Hence it is significant to assess the security postures for
   identifying the possible threats and vulnerabilities of a network

   device in anytime.  The SACM working group is aim to provide such a
   mechanism to acquire the posture information, which including the
   security related configuration and status attributes, on the target
   devices and evaluate their security postures by comparing with the
   pre-defined benchmarking criteria.  Furthermore, the evaluation
   results are able to be the guidance to enforce the corresponding
   security hardening measurement on the devices under assessment.  But
   this hardening process is out of scope of this draft.

   This draft and each of the companion document define a subset of
   posture information that have to be collected for the assessment
   purpose mentioned above.  This entire set of posture information is
   so called security baseline of a network device that is proposed in
   the companion draft [I-D.draft-xia-sacm-dp-security-profile].  The
   proposed security baseline is presented in the fashion of yang data
   model.  And the security baseline yang data model can be requested or
   subscribed by a collector agent such as a yang push client [draft-
   birkholz-sacm-yang-content].  The output of such a collector agent is
   then encapsulated into the SACM content and statement elements
   [draft-ietf-sacm-information-mdoel] and published to other SACM
   components (e.g. repository and evaluator) [draft-mandm-sacm-
   architecture-01].  Please note that document is only focus on the
   yang data model of security baseline, the messaging mechanisms is out
   of scope of this document.  They are specified in other documents.

1.1.  Infrastructure layer security baseline

   In general, the entire security baseline of a network device is
   divided into three layers, namely the application layer, the network
   layer, and the infrastructure layer.  This document focus on the data
   model on infrastructure layer.  The infrastructure layer security
   baseline herein refers to the configuration and status attributes of
   security functions that secure the device itself, and the fundamental
   security capabilities provided by the device to the upper layer
   applications.  More specifically, the essential configurable and key
   status attributes of the following function/capability modules are
   sorted out to generate the infrastructure layer security baseline
   data model.

   o  Integrity measurement: the integrity measurement herein refers to
      the functions such as trust computing to protect the device
      against the replacement and/or tampering attacks.  For example,
      the trust boot and/or secure boot provide the integrity validation
      service for the kernel and early stage executable code (bios and
      bootloader) in bootstrapping phases, and the digital signature
      protect the upper layer software applications against the
      tampering attacks in software updating phases.

   o  Cryptography algorithms: the cryptographic algorithms are the most
      important capabilities that the device provides to the upper layer
      security applications.  For example, the symmetric (e.g.  DES,
      AES) and asymmetric (eg.  RSA, ECC) cryptographic algorithms can
      be used for sensitive data encryption, and peers authentication.
      And the key derivation function (KDF) can be used for secret key
      generation and passcode storage.

   o  Key management: the cryptographic key (pair) and its associated
      algorithm provide various security features for network devices.
      How we manage the key (pair) provisioned in a network device is a
      critical issue.  The key management covers the attributes to show
      how the key (pair) is managed in the key's lifecycle (e.g.  from
      generation to destroy).

   o  Certificate management: the certificates are normally provided by
      the device for authentication purpose.  The certificate management
      refers to how the certificates and the certificates revocation
      list (CRL) is requested, updated, and validated in the device.

   The practical security baseline of a network device depends on the
   device type, the supported features, the requirements of operators
   and enterprises, and the role it plays exactly in the network.  Owing
   to such a number of variance, it is impossible to design a
   comprehensive and unified data model for all devices.  Thus the
   proposed data model in this document is only used to benchmark the
   most widely deployed security related functions and capabilities.
   And we would like it to be an extensible model so that more
   attributes are able to be added as per the practical use case
   scenario.

4.1.  Integrity measurement

   The purpose of integrity measurement is to prevent the upper layer
   software applications, kernel, and early stage executable code (e.g.
   BIOS and bootloader) from replacement and/or tampering in
   bootstrapping and updating phases.  Trusted boot and secure boot are
   the two widely used techniques for protecting the device
   bootstrapping.  The read-only root of trust (RoT) should be always
   stored in a SoC or TPM chip.  For software updating, digital
   signature has been demonstrated as a powerful tool to provide the
   integrity protection service.  In using digital signature, the
   employed hash function and signature algorithm must be strong enough
   so that attackers cannot force crack them in a short period of time.
   Moreover, the public key used for verifying the signature should be
   stored properly.  For example, it can be wrapped in a certificate of
   the software vendor or stored in the read-only SoC or TPM.

4.2.  Cryptography security

   Almost all the security features of communication network are built
   on the basis of modern cryptography.  For example, the cryptographic
   algorithms are usually used to perform transmission data encryption
   and peers authentication.  However, as the computing capability of
   the present computing system is getting faster and faster, more and
   more cryptographic algorithms can be brute force cracked in a short
   period of time.  Therefore the algorithm has to be selected
   appropriately for different use case scenarios.  And the
   configuration parameters must be set within an appropriate range so
   that the used algorithm is strong enough.

   As a fundamental capabilities provided by the device, the practical
   configurations of each supported cryptographic algorithm varies as
   per the upper layer application that employs the algorithm.  This
   section organizes the algorithms and their configuration parameters

   into groupings so that the upper layer applications can reference/
   reuse them appropriately.

   In general, this section covers the following cryptographic algorithm
   groupings:

   o  Symmetric algorithms and their configurable parameters.

   o  Asymmetric algorithms and their configurable parameters.

   o  Hash functions.

   o  Message authentication code (MAC) methods and their configurable
      parameters.

   o  Key derivation functions (KDF) and their configurable parameters.

   All the groupings enable the collection of the specific algorithms
   and their parameters on a case-by-case basis.

4.2.1.  Symmetrical cryptography

   The symmetric algorithms are typically used for providing data
   confidential service.  The encryption and decryption process of
   symmetrical algorithms make use of two identical keys.  And, most of
   the symmetrical algorithms are typically belong to either block
   ciphers or stream ciphers.

   Block cipher: block cipher divides the plaintext in to a number of
   blocks with a constant bit length.  And the last plaintext block
   should be filled to fit the bit length requirement.  Then each of the
   plaintext blocks is encrypted individually.  However, if a plaintext
   piece repeats several times in a long data stream, it is easier for
   an attacker to guess the original plaintext from the repeated
   ciphertext.  Hence, some other operation modes of block cipher,
   including cipher block chaining (CBC) mode, cipher feedback (CFB)
   mode, counter mode (CRT), and Galois counter mode (GCM), are proposed
   to introduce a random bit stream, which is named initialization
   vector (IV), to augment the randomness of the original plaintext.
   The used random number generator must meet the randomness requirement
   so that the IV value is unpredicted.  In addition, the bit length of
   IV should be the same as the bit length of a plaintext block for most
   block cipher working mode.  But for CRT and GCM, the length of IV is
   optional.

   Stream cipher: unlike block cipher, which encrypt a single plaintext
   block at one time, stream-cipher encrypt every bit of a plaintext

   separately.  The stream cipher algorithms also use IV to increase the
   randomness of the original plaintext.

4.2.2.  Asymmetrical cryptography

   The asymmetric cryptography is also called public key cryptography.
   In contrast to the symmetric one, asymmetric cryptography always
   employs a key pair that contains two different keys to deal with the
   encryption and decryption work.  The private key in the key pairs is
   held and used only by the owner.  The other key in the key pairs is
   theoretically public to everyone.  The asymmetric cryptography
   algorithms are not only able to provide data encryption, but also
   provide authentication and/or integrity protection services (e.g.
   digital signature).

   Asymmetric encryption: RSA is the most commonly used asymmetrical
   encryption algorithm.  In the use of RSA, the smaller the public
   exponent is, the higher efficiency the algorithm has.  In the other
   side, it will be much easier to crack the algorithm and recover the
   original plaintext if the public exponent is too small.  Hence it has
   to trade off the value of public exponent.  In addition, the RSA is
   recommend to use optimal asymmetrical encryption padding (OAEP) to
   fill up the original plaintext.

                    +--rw modulo-value        unit32

   Digital signature: digital signature is a powerful tool to provide
   integrity protection.  DSA, RSA, and ECDSA are three of the most

   popular signature algorithms.  By using RSA in digital signature, it
   is better to use PSS for padding.  If the data is required to be
   encrypted and signed at the same time, it is suggest to sign the data
   before encrypting.

   Key exchange: key exchange is meant to establish key pairs between
   communication peers.  The peers send key material rather than key
   itself to each other.

4.2.3.  Hash function

   Hash functions are normally used to perform integrity measurement.
   The output of a Hash function is a digest with a constant bit length
   for a segment of messages or code.  The digest is unique and unable
   to be reconstructed if the original message/code is tampered.  The
   Hash function is widely used in digital signature, message
   authentication code, password hash storage, and etc.

4.2.4.  Message authentication code

   Similar to digital signature, message authentication code (MAC) is
   another method to provide integrity protection service.  MAC applies
   hash function or block cipher algorithms on the message plaintext
   coupled with a pre-shared session key.  It must be noted that, it is
   unsafe if simply extend the message with the session key.

4.3.  Key management

   Cryptographic key plays the most important role in a cryptographic
   system. . If the key is disclosed or tampered, the corresponding
   service is not reliable any more.  Hence the network device must
   provide the confidentiality and integrity protection for a key in its
   entire lifecycle.  This section contains a list of key (pair) and

4.3.1.  Key generation

   There are three types of commonly used key generation methods.  The
   first method is on the basis of random number generator.  In this
   method, the referenced random number generator has to ensure the
   generated key is unpredicted.  The second key generation method is
   based on the manual entered password.  However, the entered password
   is not meet the randomness requirement.  In this case, a key
   derivation function (e.g.  PBKDF2) is applied to derive the key.  The
   last key generation method is key exchange such as Diffie-Hellman
   (DH) protocol.  This kind of method requires the peers to
   authenticate each other before exchange the key material.

4.3.2.  Key distribution

   Key distribution aims to send the generated keys to authorized
   entities in a secure fashion.  The confidentiality and integrity
   issues of the key in distribution are usually addressed by using
   either a secure transport protocol or digital envelop.
   [I-D.ietf-netconf-tls-client-server], IPsec [I-D.draft-tran-ipsecme-
   yang], or SSH [I-D.ietf-netconf-ssh-client-server], or digital
   envelop.

4.3.3.  Key store

   A typical key management system has three layers.  The master keys
   that consumed by upper layer applications are in the top layer.  The
   key in the middle layer, which is called key encryption key (KEK), is
   used to encrypt the master keys.  And the KEK itself is encrypted by
   the root key which stays in the bottom layer of the three layer key
   management system.

4.3.4.  Key update

   Network device must update the key in a reasonable period of time.
   Otherwise the long term used key will attract attackers to crack it.
   The practical update period of a certain key depends on the
   application the key serves and the strength (i.e. bit length) of the
   key itself.

4.3.5.  Key backup

   The loss of keys will lead to data loss.  Therefore, according to the
   different use case scenarios, a key (pair) may need to backup.  It is
   better to divide the key into several parts and store them into
   different storage devices.

                  +--ro backup-medium      enumeration

4.3.6.  Key destroy

   The key and its associated key material must be destroyed when it is
   expired.  Otherwise the expired key will be used by attackers to
   decrypt the data encrypted by this key.  Also, the expired key can be
   used to analysis the cryptosystem.

4.4.  Cert management

   The TLS/DTLS and IPsec have been demonstrated as powerful security
   tools to provide data confidentiality and integrity services between
   network elements.  In order to protect the TLS/DTLS or the IPsec
   connection against man-in-middle attack, peers have to authenticate
   from each other before connection establishing.  The pre-shared key
   and the certificate are two of the most widely used methods to
   authenticate peers' identities.  However, it requires to re-configure

   the pre-shared keys on all other endpoints/network elements if an
   additional network device is added in network.  This complicated re-
   configuration process is easy to make errors.  In the other hand,
   certificate is an idea way to extend authentications to a much larger
   scale of network.  Peers request certificates that contain their
   entity information and public keys from certification authority (CA)
   in advance.  The connection will be established only if the
   certificates are verified.

   For a specific network device, such as switch and router, the
   certification service normally includes certificates request and
   updating, certificates validity check.

4.4.1.  Cert management

   A cert request file that contains the device public key and entity
   information is sent to the CA to apply a certificate.  A CMP session
   is configured to request and update the certificates.  A build-in
   default certificate in the device is used for identity authentication
   for CMP session.  And the certificate must be updated in a reasonable
   period of time via CMP session.

   The certificate revocation list (CRL) contains the invalid/expired
   certificates.  It is equivalent to a blacklist of certificates issued
   by CA.  The validity of a received cert is able to be checked by
   comparing with the CRL.  The CRL need to update from CA by either an
   automatic or manual way.
