1. Introduction
This document defines a YANG 1.1 [RFC7950] module called "ietf-
keystore" that enables centralized configuration of both symmetric
and asymmetric keys. The secret value for both key types may be
encrypted or hidden (see [I-D.ietf-netconf-crypto-types]. Asymmetric
keys may be associated with certificates. Notifications are sent
when certificates are about to expire.
The "ietf-keystore" module defines many "grouping" statements
intended for use by other modules that may import it. For instance,
there are groupings that define enabling a key to be either
configured locally (within the defining data model) or be a reference
to a key in the Keystore.
Special consideration has been given for systems that have
cryptographic hardware, such as a Trusted Platform Module (TPM).
These systems are unique in that the cryptographic hardware hides the
secret key values. Additionally, such hardware is commonly
initiailized when manufactured to protect a "built-in" asymmetric key
for which the public half is conveyed in an identity certificate
(e.g., an IDevID [Std-802.1AR-2009] certificate). Please see
Section 3 to see how built-in keys are supported.

This document intends to support existing practices; it does not
intend to define new behvior for systems to implement. To simplify
implementation, advanced key formats may be selectively implemented.
Implementations may utilize zero or more operating system level
keystore utilities and/or hardware security modules (HSMs).
1.1. Relation to other RFCs
This document presents one or more YANG modules [RFC7950] that are
part of a collection of RFCs that work together to define
configuration modules for clients and servers of both the NETCONF
[RFC6241] and RESTCONF [RFC8040] protocols.
The modules have been defined in a modular fashion to enable their
use by other efforts, some of which are known to be in progress at
the time of this writing, with many more expected to be defined in
time.
The normative dependency relationship between the various RFCs in the
collection is presented in the below diagram. The labels in the
diagram represent the primary purpose provided by each RFC.
Hyperlinks to each RFC are provided below the diagram.

1.2. Specification 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 BCP
14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.
1.3. Terminology
The terms "client" and "server" are defined in [RFC6241] and are not
redefined here.
The term "keystore" is defined in this draft as a mechanism that
intends safeguard secrets placed into it for protection.
The nomenclature "<running>" and "<operational>" are defined in
[RFC8342].
The sentence fragments "augmented" and "augmented in" are used herein
as the past tense verbified form of the "augment" statement defined
in Section 7.17 of [RFC7950].

1.4. Adherence to the NMDA
This document is compliant with Network Management Datastore
Architecture (NMDA) [RFC8342]. For instance, keys and associated
certificates installed during manufacturing (e.g., for an IDevID
certificate) are expected to appear in <operational> (see Section 3).
2. The "ietf-keystore" Module
This section defines a YANG 1.1 [RFC7950] module called "ietf-
keystore". A high-level overview of the module is provided in
Section 2.1. Examples illustatrating the module's use are provided
in Examples (Section 2.2). The YANG module itself is defined in
Section 2.3.
2.1. Data Model Overview
This section provides an overview of the "ietf-keystore" module in
terms of its features, typedefs, groupings, and protocol-accessible
nodes.
2.1.1. Features
The following diagram lists all the "feature" statements defined in
the "ietf-keystore" module:
Features:
+-- keystore-supported
+-- local-definitions-supported
| The diagram above uses syntax that is similar to but not
| defined in [RFC8340].
2.1.2. Typedefs
The following diagram lists the "typedef" statements defined in the
"ietf-keystore" module:
Typedefs:
leafref
+-- symmetric-key-ref
+-- asymmetric-key-ref
| The diagram above uses syntax that is similar to but not
| defined in [RFC8340].
Comments:
Watsen Expires 21 February 2021 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft A YANG Data Model for a Keystore August 2020
* All of the typedefs defined in the "ietf-keystore" module extend
the base "leafref" type defined in [RFC7950].
* The leafrefs refer to symmetric and asymmetric keys in the
keystore. These typedefs are provided primarily as an aid to
downstream modules that import the "ietf-keystore" module.
2.1.3. Groupings
The following diagram lists all the "grouping" statements defined in
the "ietf-keystore" module:
Groupings:
+-- encrypted-by-choice-grouping
+-- asymmetric-key-certificate-ref-grouping
+-- local-or-keystore-symmetric-key-grouping
+-- local-or-keystore-asymmetric-key-grouping
+-- local-or-keystore-asymmetric-key-with-certs-grouping
+-- local-or-keystore-end-entity-cert-with-key-grouping
+-- keystore-grouping
| The diagram above uses syntax that is similar to but not
| defined in [RFC8340].
Each of these groupings are presented in the following subsections.
2.1.3.1. The "encrypted-by-choice-grouping" Grouping
The following tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrates the "encrypted-by-
choice-grouping" grouping:
| The grouping's name is intended to be parsed "(encrypted-
| by)-(choice)-(grouping)", not as "(encrypted)-(by-
| choice)-(grouping)".

+-- (encrypted-by-choice)
+--:(symmetric-key-ref)
| +-- symmetric-key-ref? ks:symmetric-key-ref
+--:(asymmetric-key-ref)
+-- asymmetric-key-ref? ks:asymmetric-key-ref
Comments:
* This grouping defines a "choice" statement with options to
reference either a symmetric or an asymmetric key configured in
the keystore.

2.1.3.2. The "asymmetric-key-certificate-ref-grouping" Grouping
The following tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrates the "asymmetric-key-
certificate-ref-grouping" grouping:
grouping asymmetric-key-certificate-ref-grouping
+-- asymmetric-key? ks:asymmetric-key-ref
+-- certificate? leafref
Comments:
* This grouping defines a reference to a certificate in two parts:
the first being the name of the asymmetric key the certificate is
associated with, and the second being the name of the certificate
itself.
2.1.3.3. The "local-or-keystore-symmetric-key-grouping" Grouping
The following tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrates the "local-or-
keystore-symmetric-key-grouping" grouping:

| +-- local-definition
| +---u ct:symmetric-key-grouping
+--:(keystore) {keystore-supported}?
+-- keystore-reference? ks:symmetric-key-ref
Comments:
* The "local-or-keystore-symmetric-key-grouping" grouping is
provided soley as convenience to downstream modules that wish to
offer an option for whether a symmetric key is defined locally or
as a reference to a symmetric key in the keystore.
* A "choice" statement is used to expose the various options. Each
option is enabled by a "feature" statement. Additional "case"
statements MAY be augmented in if, e.g., there is a need to
reference a symmetric key in an alternate location.
* For the "local-definition" option, the defintion uses the
"symmetric-key-grouping" grouping discussed in Section 2.1.4.3 of
[I-D.ietf-netconf-crypto-types].
* For the "keystore" option, the "keystore-reference" is an instance
of the "symmetric-key-ref" discussed in Section 2.1.2.

Comments:
* Protocol-accessible nodes are those nodes that are accessible when
the module is "implemented", as described in Section 5.6.5 of
[RFC7950].
* The protcol-accessible nodes for the "ietf-keystore" module are an
instance of the "keystore-grouping" grouping discussed in
Section 2.1.3.7.
* The reason for why "keystore-grouping" exists separate from the
protocol-accessible nodes definition is so as to enable instances
of the keystore to be instantiated in other locations, as may be
needed or desired by some modules.
2.2. Example Usage
The examples in this section are encoded using XML, such as might be
the case when using the NETCONF protocol. Other encodings MAY be
used, such as JSON when using the RESTCONF protocol.
2.2.1. A Keystore Instance
The following example illustrates keys in <running>. Please see
Section 3 for an example illustrating built-in values in
<operational>.

2.2.2. A Certificate Expiration Notification
The following example illustrates a "certificate-expiration"
notification for a certificate associated with a key configured in
the keystore.

2.2.3. The "Local or Keystore" Groupings
This section illustrates the various "local-or-keystore" groupings
defined in the "ietf-keystore" module, specifically the "local-or-
keystore-symmetric-key-grouping" (Section 2.1.3.3), "local-or-
keystore-asymmetric-key-grouping" (Section 2.1.3.4), "local-or-
keystore-asymmetric-key-with-certs-grouping" (Section 2.1.3.5), and
"local-or-keystore-end-entity-cert-with-key-grouping"
(Section 2.1.3.6) groupings.
These examples assume the existence of an example module called "ex-
keystore-usage" having the namespace "http://example.com/ns/example-
keystore-usage".
The ex-keystore-usage module is first presented using tree diagrams
[RFC8340], followed by an instance example illustrating all the
"local-or-keystore" groupings in use, followed by the YANG module
itself.

The following example provides two equivalent instances of each
grouping, the first being a reference to a keystore and the second
being locally-defined. The instance having a reference to a keystore
is consistent with the keystore defined in Section 2.2.1. The two
instances are equivalent, as the locally-defined instance example
contains the same values defined by the keystore instance referenced
by its sibling example.

3. Support for Built-in Keys
In some implementations, a server may support built-in keys. Built-
in keys MAY be set during the manufacturing process or be dynamically
generated the first time the server is booted or a particular service
(e.g., SSH) is enabled.
The primary characteristic of the built-in keys is that they are
provided by the system, as opposed to configuration. As such, they
are present in <operational>. The example below illustrates what the
keystore in <operational> might look like for a server in its factory
default state.
<keystore xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-keystore"
xmlns:ct="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-crypto-types"
xmlns:or="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-origin"
or:origin="or:intended">
<asymmetric-keys>
<asymmetric-key or:origin="or:system">
<name>Manufacturer-Generated Hidden Key</name>
<public-key-format>
ct:subject-public-key-info-format
</public-key-format>
<public-key>base64encodedvalue==</public-key>
<hidden-private-key/>
<certificates>
<certificate>
<name>Manufacturer-Generated IDevID Cert</name>
<cert-data>base64encodedvalue==</cert-data>
</certificate>
</certificates>
</asymmetric-key>
</asymmetric-keys>
</keystore>
In order for the built-in keys (and/or their associated built-in
certificates) to be referenced by configuration, the referenced keys
MUST first be copied into <running>. The keys SHOULD be copied into
<running> using the same value for the list's "key" substatement, so
that the server can bind the references to the built-in entries.
Watsen Expires 21 February 2021 [Page 37]
Internet-Draft A YANG Data Model for a Keystore August 2020
In addition to copying keys into the Keystore in <running>, cleartext
and encrypted keys may be copied into other parts of configuration,
but they will lose their connection to having been a built-in value.
Note that hidden keys cannot be copied into other parts of the
configuration because doing would lose the key's connection to the
built-in key, where the key's secret value is stored. Built-in
"encrypted" keys MAY be copied into other parts of the configuration
so long as the reference to the other built-in key that encrypted
them is maintained.
Only the referenced keys need to be copied; that is, the keys in
<running> MAY be a subset, including the whole of the set, of the
built-in keys defined in <operational>.
No new built-in keys may be added nor existing built-in changed, with
exception for associating additional certificates to an existing
built-in key.
A server MUST reject attempts to modify any aspect of built-in keys,
with exception for associating additional certificates to a built-in
key. That these keys are "configured" in <running> is an illusion,
as they are strictly a read-only subset of that which must already
exist in <operational>.
The following example illustrates how a single built-in key
definition from the previous example has been propagated to
<running>:

4. Encrypting Keys in Configuration
This section describes an approach that enables both the symmetric
and asymmetric keys on a server to be encrypted, such that
traditional backup/restore procedures can be used without concern for
the keys being compromised when in transit.
4.1. Key Encryption Key
The ability to encrypt configured keys is predicated on the existence
of a "key encryption key" (KEK). There may be any number of KEKs in
a system. A KEK, by its namesake, is a key that is used to encrypt
other keys. A KEK MAY be either a symmetric key or an asymmetric
key.
If a KEK is a symmetric key, then the server MUST provide an API for
administrators to encrypt other keys without needing to know the
symmetric key's value. If the KEK is an asymmetric key, then the
server MAY provide an API enabling the encryption of other keys or,
alternatively, let the administrators do so themselves using the
asymmetric key's public half.
Watsen Expires 21 February 2021 [Page 40]
Internet-Draft A YANG Data Model for a Keystore August 2020
A server MUST possess (or be able to possess, in case the KEK has
been encrypted by another KEK) a KEK's cleartext value so that it can
decrypt the other keys in the configurion at runtime.
4.2. Configuring Encrypted Keys
Each time a new key is configured, it SHOULD be encrypted by a KEK.
In "ietf-crypto-types" [I-D.ietf-netconf-crypto-types], the format
for an encrypted symmetric key is described by the "encrypted-one-
symmetric-key-format" identity, while the format for an encrypted
asymmetric key is described by the "encrypted-one-asymmetric-key-
format" identity
Implementations SHOULD provide an API that simultaneously generates
and encrypts a key (symmetric or asymmetric) using a KEK. Thusly
newly generated key cleartext values are never known to the
administrators generating the keys.
In case the server implementation does not provide such an API, then
the generating and encrypting steps MAY be performed outside the
server, e.g., by an administrator with special access control rights
(e.g., an organization's crypto officer).
In either case, the encrypted key can be configured into the Keystore
using either the "encrypted-key" (for symmetric keys) or the
"encrypted-private-key" (for asymmetric keys) nodes. These two nodes
contain both the encrypted value as well as a reference to the KEK
that encrypted the key.
4.3. Migrating Configuration to Another Server
When a KEK is used to encrypt other keys, migrating the configuration
to another server is only possible if the second server has the same
KEK. How the second server comes to have the same KEK is discussed
in this section.
In some deployments, mechanisms outside the scope of this document
may be used to migrate a KEK from one server to another. That said,
beware that the ability to do so typically entails having access to
the first server but, in many RMA scenarios, the first server may no
longer be operational.
Watsen Expires 21 February 2021 [Page 41]
Internet-Draft A YANG Data Model for a Keystore August 2020
In other deployments, an organization's crypto officer, possessing a
KEK's cleartext value, configures the same KEK on the second server,
presumably as a hidden key or a key protected by access-control
(e.g., NACM's "default-deny-all), so that the cleartext value is not
disclosed to regular administrators. However, this approach creates
high-coupling to and dependency on the crypto officers that doesn't
scale in production environments.
In order to decouple the crypto officers from the regular
administrators, a special KEK, called the "master key" (MK), may be
used.
A MK is commonly a globally-unique built-in (see Section 3)
asymmetric key. The private key, due to its long lifetime, is hidden
(i.e., "hidden-private-key" in Section 2.1.4.5. of
[I-D.ietf-netconf-crypto-types]). The public key is often contained
in an identity certificate (e.g., IDevID). How to configure a MK
during the manufacturing process is outside the scope of this
document.
It is highly RECOMMENDED that MKs are built-in and hidden but, if
this is not possible, MKs highly restricted access mechanisms SHOULD
be used to limit access to the MK's secret data to only highly
authorized clients (e.g., an organization's crypto officer). In this
case, it is RECOMMENDED that the MK is not built-in and hence is,
effectively, just like a KEK.
Assuming the server has a MK, the MK can be used to encrypt a "shared
KEK", which is then used to encrypt the keys configured by regular
administrators.
With this extra level of indirection, it is possible for a crypto
officer to encrypt the same KEK for a multiplicity of servers offline
using the public key contained in their identity certificates. The
crypto officer can then safely handoff the encrypted KEKs to the
regular administrators responsible for server installations,
including migrations.
In order to migrate the configuration from a first server, an
administrator would need to make just a single modification to the
configuration before loading it onto a second server, which is to
replace the encrypted KEK Keystore entry from the first server with
the encrypted KEK for the second server. Upon doing this, the
configuration (containing many encrypted keys) can be loaded into the
second server while enabling the second server to decrypt all the
encrypted keys in the configuration.
The following diagram illustrates this idea:

5. Security Considerations
5.1. Data at Rest
The YANG module defined in this document defines a mechanism called a
"keystore" that, by its name, suggests that it will protect its
contents from unauthorized disclosure and modification.
Security controls for the API (i.e., data in motion) are discussed in
Section 5.2, but controls for the data at rest cannot be specified by
the YANG module.
In order to satisfy the expectations of a "keystore", it is
RECOMMENDED that implementations ensure that the keystore contents
are encrypted when persisted to non-volatile memory.
5.2. The "ietf-keystore" YANG Module
The YANG module defined in this document is designed to be accessed
via YANG based management protocols, such as NETCONF [RFC6241] and
RESTCONF [RFC8040]. Both of these protocols have mandatory-to-
implement secure transport layers (e.g., SSH, TLS) with mutual
authentication.
The NETCONF access control model (NACM) [RFC8341] provides the means
to restrict access for particular users to a pre-configured subset of
all available protocol operations and content.
None of the readable data nodes defined in this YANG module are
considered sensitive or vulnerable in network environments. The NACM
"default-deny-all" extension has not been set for any data nodes
defined in this module.
| Please be aware that this module uses the "cleartext-key" and
| "cleartext-private-key" nodes from the "ietf-crypto-types"
| module [I-D.ietf-netconf-crypto-types], where said nodes have
| the NACM extension "default-deny-all" set, thus preventing
| uncontrolled read-access to the cleartext key values.
All of the writable data nodes defined by this module, both in the
"grouping" statements as well as the protocol-accessible "keystore"
instance, may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network
environments.. For instance, any modification to a key or reference
to a key may dramatically alter the implemented security policy. For
this reason, the NACM extension "default-deny-write" has been set for
all data nodes defined in this module.

This module does not define any RPCs, actions, or notifications, and
thus the security consideration for such is not provided here.
6. IANA Considerations
6.1. The "IETF XML" Registry
This document registers one URI in the "ns" subregistry of the IETF
XML Registry [RFC3688]. Following the format in [RFC3688], the

XML: N/A, the requested URI is an XML namespace.
6.2. The "YANG Module Names" Registry
This document registers one YANG module in the YANG Module Names
registry [RFC6020]. Following the format in [RFC6020], the following
registration is requested:
name: ietf-keystore

Internet-Draft A YANG Data Model for a Keystore August 2020
Appendix A. Change Log
This section is to be removed before publishing as an RFC.
A.1. 00 to 01
* Replaced the 'certificate-chain' structures with PKCS#7
structures. (Issue #1)
* Added 'private-key' as a configurable data node, and removed the
'generate-private-key' and 'load-private-key' actions. (Issue #2)
* Moved 'user-auth-credentials' to the ietf-ssh-client module.
(Issues #4 and #5)
A.2. 01 to 02
* Added back 'generate-private-key' action.
* Removed 'RESTRICTED' enum from the 'private-key' leaf type.
* Fixed up a few description statements.
A.3. 02 to 03
* Changed draft's title.
* Added missing references.
* Collapsed sections and levels.
* Added RFC 8174 to Requirements Language Section.
* Renamed 'trusted-certificates' to 'pinned-certificates'.
* Changed 'public-key' from config false to config true.
* Switched 'host-key' from OneAsymmetricKey to definition from RFC
4253.
A.4. 03 to 04
* Added typedefs around leafrefs to common keystore paths
* Now tree diagrams reference ietf-netmod-yang-tree-diagrams
* Removed Design Considerations section
Watsen Expires 21 February 2021 [Page 48]
Internet-Draft A YANG Data Model for a Keystore August 2020
* Moved key and certificate definitions from data tree to groupings
A.5. 04 to 05
* Removed trust anchors (now in their own draft)
* Added back global keystore structure
* Added groupings enabling keys to either be locally defined or a
reference to the keystore.
A.6. 05 to 06
* Added feature "local-keys-supported"
* Added nacm:default-deny-all and nacm:default-deny-write
* Renamed generate-asymmetric-key to generate-hidden-key
* Added an install-hidden-key action
* Moved actions inside fo the "asymmetric-key" container
* Moved some groupings to draft-ietf-netconf-crypto-types
A.7. 06 to 07
* Removed a "require-instance false"
* Clarified some description statements
* Improved the keystore-usage examples
A.8. 07 to 08
* Added "local-definition" containers to avoid posibility of the
action/notification statements being under a "case" statement.
* Updated copyright date, boilerplate template, affiliation, folding
algorithm, and reformatted the YANG module.
A.9. 08 to 09
* Added a 'description' statement to the 'must' in the /keystore/
asymmetric-key node explaining that the descendent values may
exist in <operational> only, and that implementation MUST assert
that the values are either configured or that they exist in
<operational>.
Watsen Expires 21 February 2021 [Page 49]
Internet-Draft A YANG Data Model for a Keystore August 2020
* Copied above 'must' statement (and description) into the local-or-
keystore-asymmetric-key-grouping, local-or-keystore-asymmetric-
key-with-certs-grouping, and local-or-keystore-end-entity-cert-
with-key-grouping statements.
A.10. 09 to 10
* Updated draft title to match new truststore draft title
* Moved everything under a top-level 'grouping' to enable use in
other contexts.
* Renamed feature from 'local-keys-supported' to 'local-definitions-
supported' (same name used in truststore)
* Removed the either-all-or-none 'must' expressions for the key's
3-tuple values (since the values are now 'mandatory true' in
crypto-types)
* Example updated to reflect 'mandatory true' change in crypto-types
draft
A.11. 10 to 11
* Replaced typedef asymmetric-key-certificate-ref with grouping
asymmetric-key-certificate-ref-grouping.
* Added feature feature 'key-generation'.
* Cloned groupings symmetric-key-grouping, asymmetric-key-pair-
grouping, asymmetric-key-pair-with-cert-grouping, and asymmetric-
key-pair-with-certs-grouping from crypto-keys, augmenting into
each new case statements for values that have been encrypted by
other keys in the keystore. Refactored keystore model to use
these groupings.
* Added new 'symmetric-keys' lists, as a sibling to the existing
'asymmetric-keys' list.
* Added RPCs (not actions) 'generate-symmetric-key' and 'generate-
asymmetric-key' to *return* a (potentially encrypted) key.
A.12. 11 to 12
* Updated to reflect crypto-type's draft using enumerations over
identities.
Watsen Expires 21 February 2021 [Page 50]
Internet-Draft A YANG Data Model for a Keystore August 2020
* Added examples for the 'generate-symmetric-key' and 'generate-
asymmetric-key' RPCs.
* Updated the Introduction section.
A.13. 12 to 13
* Updated examples to incorporate new "key-format" identities.
* Made the two "generate-*-key" RPCs be "action" statements instead.
A.14. 13 to 14
* Updated YANG module and examples to incorporate the new
iana-*-algorithm modules in the crypto-types draft..
A.15. 14 to 15
* Added new "Support for Built-in Keys" section.
* Added 'must' expressions asserting that the 'key-format' leaf
whenever an encrypted key is specified.
* Added local-or-keystore-symmetric-key-grouping for PSK support.
A.16. 15 to 16
* Moved the generate key actions to ietf-crypt-types as RPCs, which
are augmented by ietf-keystore to support encrypted keys.
Examples updated accordingly.
* Added a SSH certificate-based key (RFC 6187) and a raw private key
to the example instance document (partly so they could be
referenced by examples in the SSH and TLS client/server drafts.
A.17. 16 to 17
* Removed augments to the "generate-symmetric-key" and "generate-
asymmetric-key" groupings.
* Removed "generate-symmetric-key" and "generate-asymmetric-key"
examples.
