I2NSF Consumer-Facing Interface YANG Data Model
draft-ietf-i2nsf-consumer-facing-interface-dm-31
Abstract
This document describes a YANG data model of the Consumer-Facing
Interface of the Security Controller in an Interface to Network
Security Functions (I2NSF) system in a Network Functions
Virtualization (NFV) environment. This document defines various
types of managed objects and the relationship among them needed to
build the flow policies from users' perspective. The YANG data model
is based on the "Event-Condition-Action" (ECA) policy defined by a
capability YANG data model for I2NSF. The YANG data model enables
different users of a given I2NSF system to define, manage, and
monitor flow policies within an administrative domain (e.g., user
group).

1. Introduction
In a framework of Interface to Network Security Functions (I2NSF)
[RFC8329], each vendor can register their Network Security Functions
(NSFs) using a Developer's Management System (DMS). Then the I2NSF
User (e.g., an application for a security administrator such as a web
application) can configure the NSFs by defining high-level security
policies. Most vendors provide various proprietary applications or
tools to define security policies for their own NSFs. The Consumer-
Facing Interface is required because the applications developed by
each vendor need to have a standard interface specifying the data
types used when the I2NSF User and Security Controller (i.e., Network
Operator Management System) communicate with each other using this
interface. Therefore, this document specifies the required YANG data
model such as 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. Security Controller will use the given
information to translate the high-level security policies into the
corresponding low-level security policies. The Security Controller
delivers the translated security policies to the NSFs according to
their respective security capabilities for the required security
enforcement.
The Consumer-Facing Interface would be built using a set of objects,
with each object capturing a unique set of information from an 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. The YANG data model in this document captures
the managed objects and relationship among these objects. This model
is structured in accordance with the "Event-Condition-Action" (ECA)
policy.
An NSF Capability YANG data model is defined in
[I-D.ietf-i2nsf-capability-data-model] as the basic model for both
the NSF-Facing interface and Consumer-Facing Interface security
policy model of this document.

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.
The efficient and flexible provisioning of network functions by a
Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) system supports rapid
deployment of newly developed functions. 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 (VNFs)
in the NFV system. By the efficient virtualization technology, these
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. Terminology
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.
This document uses the terminology described in [RFC8329].
This document follows the guidelines of [RFC8407], uses the common
YANG types defined in [RFC6991], and adopts the Network Management
Datastore Architecture (NMDA) [RFC8342]. The meaning of the symbols
in tree diagrams is defined in [RFC8340].
3. YANG Tree Diagram of Policy
A Policy object is a means to express a Security Policy set by an
I2NSF User with the Consumer-Facing Interface. It is sent to the
Security Controller which converts it into an NSF-specific
configuration via the NSF-Facing Interface for enforcement of the
NSF. Figure 2 shows the YANG tree of the Policy object. The Policy
object SHALL have the following information:
Name: This field identifies the name of this object.
Language: The language field indicates the language tag that is used
for the natural language text that is included in all of
the 'description' attributes. The language field is
encoded following the rules in Section 2.1 of [RFC5646].
The default language tag is "en-US".
Priority-usage: This field represents the type of the priority used
in the policy. Two types are defined in this module, i.e.,
'priority-by-order' and 'priority-by-number'. The
'priority-by-order' indicates that the sequence of the
rules to be executed follows the input order by user. The
'priority-by-number' indicates that the sequence of the
rules to be executed follows the priority values in the
rules, where a higher priority value means a higher
priority.
Resolution-strategy: This field represents how to resolve conflicts
that occur between actions of the same or different policy
rules that are matched and contained in this particular
NSF. The resolution strategy is described in Section 3.2
of [I-D.ietf-i2nsf-capability-data-model] in detail. The
default resolution strategy is "fmr" (First Matching Rule).
Jeong, et al. Expires 16 November 2023 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft Consumer-Facing Interface YANG Data Mode May 2023
Rules: This field contains a list of rules. These rules are
defined for implementing business requirements such as 1)
supporting communication between two Endpoint Groups (see
Section 4), 2) preventing communication with externally or
internally identified threats, and 3) controlling access to
internal or external resources for meeting regulatory
compliance. An organization may restrict certain
communication between a set of users and applications for
example. The threats may be identified from threat feeds
obtained from external sources. Note that rule conflict
analysis should be performed by a monitoring service for
policy rule conflicts in Security Controller to detect such
rule conflicts among the policy rules installed into
network security functions.

Figure 2: Policy YANG Data Tree
A policy contains a list of rules. In order to express a Rule, the
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 defined in this
module is a set of management guidelines that defines a desired
behavior based on the Event-Condition-Action policy model
(Section 3.1 of [I-D.ietf-i2nsf-capability-data-model]), but that is
independent of a specific device and implementation. Figure 3 shows
the YANG data tree of the Rule object. The rule object SHALL have
the following information:
Name: This field identifies the name of this object.
Priority: This field identifies the priority of the rule. This
Jeong, et al. Expires 16 November 2023 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft Consumer-Facing Interface YANG Data Mode May 2023
field can be given when the policy's 'priority-usage' is
priority-by-number.
Event: This field includes the information to determine whether
the Rule Condition can be evaluated or not (see the
definition of Event in Section 3.1 of
[I-D.ietf-i2nsf-capability-data-model]). See details of
the Event Object in Section 3.1.
Condition: This field contains a set of attributes, features, and/or
values that are to be matched with the attributes of a
packet or traffic flow to determine whether the Rule Action
can be executed or not (see Section 3.1 of
[I-D.ietf-i2nsf-capability-data-model]). See details of
the Condition Object in Section 3.2.
Action: This field identifies the action taken when a rule is
matched (see Section 3.1 of
[I-D.ietf-i2nsf-capability-data-model]). There is always
an implicit action to drop traffic if no rule is matched
for a traffic type. See details of the Action Object in
Section 3.3.

Figure 3: Rule YANG Data Tree
3.1. Event Sub-model
The Event Object contains information related to scheduling a Rule.
The Event Object activates the evaluation of the Condition Object
based on a security event (i.e., system event or system alarm). Note
that an empty Event Object means that the event will always be
evaluated as true and start the evaluation of the Condition Object.
Figure 4 shows the YANG tree of the Event object. Event object SHALL
have the following information:
System-event (also called alert): is defined as a warning about any

Internet-Draft Consumer-Facing Interface YANG Data Mode May 2023
changes of configuration, any access violation, the
information of sessions and traffic flows.
System-alarm: is defined as a warning related to service degradation
in system hardware.

3.2. Condition Sub-model
The Condition object describes the network traffic pattern or fields
that must be matched against the observed network traffic for the
rule to trigger. The fields used to express the required conditions
to trigger the rule are organized around the class of NSFs expected
to be able to observe or compute them. Figure 5 shows the YANG tree
of the Condition object. The Condition Sub-model SHALL have the
following information:
firewall: This field represents the layer-2 header (e.g., MAC
addresses), layer-3 header (e.g., IPv4 or IPv6 addresses,
ICMPv4 or ICMPv6 parameters, and transport layer protocol)
and layer-4 header (e.g., port numbers) of the network
traffic. Note that the YANG module only provides high-
level ICMP messages that are concretely specified by either
ICMPv4 or ICMPv6 messages (e.g., Destination Unreachable:
Port Unreachable which is ICMPv4's type 3 and code 3 or
ICMPv6's type 1 and code 4). Also note that QUIC protocol
[RFC9000] is excluded in the data model as it is not
considered in the initial I2NSF documents [RFC8329]. The
QUIC traffic should not be treated as UDP traffic. The
data model should be extended or augmented appropriately to
support the handling of QUIC traffic according to the needs
of the implementer.
ddos: This field represents the threshold limit for the rate of
the network traffic to mitigate a DDoS attack. The
threshold configuration can be given in packet rate, byte
rate, and flow rate. Definition of packet rate, byte rate,
and flow rate are defined in Section 6 of
[I-D.ietf-i2nsf-capability-data-model].
anti-virus: This field represents the configuration for an Antivirus
Jeong, et al. Expires 16 November 2023 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft Consumer-Facing Interface YANG Data Mode May 2023
service. A specific security profile can be added to
Security Controller in order to update the configuration of
the Antivirus service. Also, either a filename or path for
such a profile can be configured for the Antivirus service.
payload: This field represents the payload information of the
network traffic. The configuration is given in a high-
level form that maps into the corresponding binary form
registered with the Threat Prevention object (see
Section 5.2).
url-category: This field represents the URL category to be filtered.
The URLs can be categorized into a group with the URL-Group
defined in Section 4.4, such as "sns-websites" for URLs
that provide Social Networking Services (SNS). This
information can be used to block or allow a certain URL or
website.
voice: This field contains the call source-id, call destination-
id, and user-agent. This information describes a caller
identification or receiver identification in order to
prevent any exploits or attacks (e.g., voice phishing) of
Voice over IP (VoIP) or Voice over Cellular Network (VoCN).
Note that VoCN can be either Voice over LTE (VoLTE)
[TR-29.949-3GPP] or Voice over 5G (Vo5G) [TR-21.915-3GPP].
context: This field represents the extra information for the
condition such as time, application, device type, user
condition, and geographic location (see Section 5.1 of
[I-D.ietf-i2nsf-capability-data-model]).
threat-feed: This field contains the information obtained from
threat-feeds. This field is used when security rule
condition is based on the existing threat reports gathered
from other sources.
Note that due to the exclusion of QUIC protocol in the I2NSF
documents, HTTP/3 is also excluded in the document along with the
QUIC protocol. HTTP/3 should neither be interpreted as HTTP/1.1 nor
HTTP/2. The data model should be extended or augmented appropriately
to support the handling of HTTP/3 traffic according to the needs of
the implementer.
Note that the identities for ICMP messages provided in the YANG
module are combined for ICMPv4 and ICMPv6 such as echo/echo-reply for
ICMPv4 and echo-request/echo-reply for ICMPv6. For more information
about the comparison between ICMPv4 and ICMPv6 messages, refer to
[IANA-ICMP-Parameters] and [IANA-ICMPv6-Parameters].

3.3. Action Sub-model
This object represents actions that Security Admin wants to perform
based on certain traffic class. Figure 6 shows the YANG tree of the
Action object. The Action object SHALL have the following
information:
Primary-action: This field identifies the action when a rule is
matched by an NSF. The action could be one of "pass",
"drop", "reject", "rate-limit", "mirror", "invoke-
signaling", "tunnel-encapsulation", "forward", and
"transform". This action is related to the ingress-action-
capability and egress-action-capability in
[I-D.ietf-i2nsf-capability-data-model]. Note that if the
action is "rate-limit", the limit value should be given to
Security Controller in order to determine the threshold of
the traffic rate.
Secondary-action: This field identifies the action when a rule is
matched by an NSF. The action could be one of "rule-log"
and "session-log". This action is related to the log-
action in [I-D.ietf-i2nsf-capability-data-model].

4. YANG Tree Diagram of Policy Endpoint Groups
The Policy Endpoint Group is the collection of network nodes that are
labeled and placed together into a group. As shown in Figure 7,
endpoint groups include User-Group (Section 4.1), Device-Group
(Section 4.2), Location-Group (Section 4.3), URL-Group (Section 4.4),
and Voice-Group (Section 4.5). An I2NSF User can create and use
these objects to represent a logical entity in their business
environment, where a security policy is to be applied. Figure 8
shows the YANG tree of the Endpoint-Groups object.
The endpoint group information delivered by the I2NSF User should be
stored into a secure database available to the Security Controller
for the translation from a high-level security policy to the
corresponding low-level security policy. The information should be
synchronized with other systems in real-time for accurate
translation.

5. YANG Tree Diagram of Threat Prevention
The Threat Prevention model describes information obtained from
threat feeds (i.e., sources for obtaining the threat information).
The presented information contains the features or attributes that
identify a well-known threat (e.g., signatures or payload) to prevent
malicious activity entering the secured network. There are multiple
managed objects that constitute this category as shown in Figure 14.
Figure 15 shows the YANG tree of a Threat-Prevention object.

5.1. Threat Feed
This object represents a threat feed which provides the signatures of
malicious activities. Figure 16 shows the YANG tree of a Threat-
feed-list. The Threat-Feed object SHALL have the following
information:
Name: This field identifies the name of this object.
IOC: This field represents the Indicators of Compromise (IOC),
i.e., the critical information of patterns or
characteristics in the threat feed that identifies
malicious activities. The format of the information given
in this field is based on the format field (e.g., STIX,
MISP, OpenIOC, and IODEF).
Format: This field represents the format or structure of the IOC
field for the threat-feed such as Structured Threat
Information Expression (STIX) [STIX], MISP Core [MISPCORE],
OpenIOC [OPENIOC], and Incident Object Description Exchange
Format (IODEF) [RFC8727]. This can be extended depending
on the implementation of the existing threat-feed.
It is assumed that the I2NSF User obtains the threat signatures
(i.e., threat content patterns) from a threat-feed server (i.e., feed
provider), which is a server providing threat signatures. With the
obtained threat signatures, the I2NSF User can deliver them to the
Security Controller via the Consumer-Facing Interface. The retrieval
of the threat signatures by the I2NSF User is out of the scope of
this document.
Jeong, et al. Expires 16 November 2023 [Page 17]
Internet-Draft Consumer-Facing Interface YANG Data Mode May 2023
Note that the information of a threat feed (i.e., a pair of IOC and
Format) is used as information to alert or block traffic that matches
IOCs identified in the threat feed. This information is used to
update the NSFs that have various content security control
capabilities (e.g., IPS, URL-Filtering, Antivirus, and VoIP/VoCN
Filter) derived in [I-D.ietf-i2nsf-capability-data-model]. Those
capabilities derive specific content security controls such as
signature-set, exception-signature, and detect.
It is noted that DDoS Open Threat Signaling (dots) can be used to
collect threat feeds in the form of signatures [RFC8811].

5.2. Payload Content
This object represents a list of raw binary patterns of a packet
payload content (i.e., data after a transport layer header) to
describe a threat. Figure 17 shows the YANG tree of a Payload-
content list. The Payload-content object SHALL have the following
information:
Name: This field identifies the name of this object. It is
recommended to use short and simple words that describe the
content. For example, the name "backdoor" indicates the
payload content is related to a backdoor attack.
Description: This represents the description to further describe the
content field in detail. This field is not mandatory, but
it is recommended to use this field as it is helpful for
future usage.
Content: This represents the payload content patterns (i.e., data
after a transport layer header), which are involved in a
security attack, in binary. If multiple instances of
contents are defined, all defined contents must be matched
somewhere in the session stream. The content pattern
should be matched based on the order given by the user.
The scope of the payload to be matched can be defined by
the depth and offset/distance fields.
Depth: This field specifies how far a packet should be searched
Jeong, et al. Expires 16 November 2023 [Page 18]
Internet-Draft Consumer-Facing Interface YANG Data Mode May 2023
for the specified content pattern defined in the content
field. If this field is undefined, then the content
pattern should be searched within the whole payload.
Starting-point: This field specifies the starting point of matching
the content pattern to the payload. If this field is
undefined, then the content pattern should be searched from
the beginning of the payload. The starting point can be
defined by either the offset value or distance value. The
offset keyword specifies where to start searching for the
specified content pattern. The offset is calculated from
the beginning of the payload. The distance keyword
specifies how far a payload should be ignored before
starting to search for the specified content pattern
relative to the end of the previous specified content
pattern match. This can be thought of as exactly the same
thing as offset, except it is relative to the end of the
last pattern match instead of the beginning of the packet.
Note that this field cannot be used if the content is the
first order of the list.

6. YANG Data Model of Consumer-Facing Interface
The main objective of this document is to provide the YANG data model
of the 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.
Jeong, et al. Expires 16 November 2023 [Page 19]
Internet-Draft Consumer-Facing Interface YANG Data Mode May 2023
The semantics of the data model is aligned with the information model
of the Consumer-Facing Interface. 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.
With the YANG data model of I2NSF Consumer-Facing Interface, this
document provides examples for security policy rules such as time-
based firewall, VoIP/VoCN security service, and DDoS-attack
mitigation in Section 7.
6.1. YANG Module of Consumer-Facing Interface
This section describes a YANG module of Consumer-Facing Interface.
This document provides identities in the data model to be used for
configuration of an NSF. Each identity is used for a different type
of configuration. The details are explained in the description of
each identity. This YANG module imports from [RFC6991] and
[I-D.ietf-i2nsf-nsf-monitoring-data-model]. It makes references to

7.1. Database Registration: Information of Positions and Devices
(Endpoint Group)
The endpoint-group is used to register known network nodes and label
them into a higher-level name (i.e., human recognizable language).
If new endpoints are introduced to the network, it is necessary to
first register their data to the database. For example, if new
members are newly introduced in different groups (i.e., user-group,
device-group, url-group, and voice-group), each of them should be
registered as separate entities with their corresponding information.

Figure 19 shows an example XML representation of the registered
information for the user-group, device-group, voice-group in IPv4
address [RFC5737], and url-group.
1. The IPv4 addresses from 192.0.2.11 to 192.0.2.90 are labeled as a
group of users called "employees".
2. The IPv4 addresses from 198.51.100.11 to 198.51.100.20 provide
services with HTTP and HTTPS application protocol labeled as
"webservers".
3. The "https://www.example.com/" and "https://www.example.net/"
URLs are labeled as "sns-websites".
4. The "sip:alice@example.org" and "sip:bob@203.0.113.15" SIP

Also, Figure 20 shows an example XML representation of the registered
information for the user-group, device-group, and voice-group in IPv6
addresses [RFC3849].
1. The IPv6 addresses from 2001:db8:0:1::11 to 2001:db8:0:1::90 are
labeled as a group of users called "employees-v6".
2. The IPv6 addresses from 2001:db8:0:2::11 to 2001:db8:0:2::20
provide services with HTTP and HTTPS application protocol labeled
as "webservers-v6".
3. The "sip:david@[2001:db8:2ef0::32b7]" SIP identity is labeled as
"malicious-id-v6".
7.2. Scenario 1: Block SNS Access during Business Hours
The first example scenario is to "block SNS access during office
hours" using a time-based firewall policy. In this scenario, all
users registered as "employees" in the user-group list are unable to
access SNS during the office hours (weekdays). The XML instance is
described below:

3. The Source is "employees".
Jeong, et al. Expires 16 November 2023 [Page 60]
Internet-Draft Consumer-Facing Interface YANG Data Mode May 2023
4. The destination target is "sns-websites". "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.
7.3. Scenario 2: Block Malicious VoIP/VoCN Packets Coming to a Company
The second example scenario is to "block malicious VoIP/VoCN packets
coming to a company" using a VoIP policy. In this scenario, the
calls coming from VOIP and/or VoCN sources with VoCN IDs that are
classified as malicious are dropped. The IP addresses of the
employees and malicious VOIP IDs which should be blocked are stored
in the database or datastore of the enterprise. Here and for the
rest of the cases, it is assumed 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 22 represents the XML document
generated from YANG discussed in previous sections. Once a high-
level security 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:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<i2nsf-cfi-policy
xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-i2nsf-cons-facing-interface">

1. The policy name is
"security_policy_for_blocking_malicious_voip_packets".
2. The rule name is "Block_malicious_voip_and_vocn_packets".
3. The source is "malicious-id". The "malicious-id" is the key, so
that it maps to the SIP identities that are named as "malicious-
id". This can be a single SIP identity or a list of SIP
identities.
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 SIP packets are
coming from "malicious-id" and targeting "employees".
7.4. Scenario 3: Mitigate Flood Attacks on a Company Web Server
The third example scenario is to "Mitigate 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 that target "webservers" are more than the set threshold,
then the admin can set the percentage of the packets to be dropped to
safely maintain the service. Once the rule is set and delivered and
enforced to the NSFs by the security controller, the NSFs will
monitor the incoming packet amounts to act according to the rule set.
The XML instance is described below:

1. The policy name is "security_policy_for_ddos_attacks".
2. The rule name is "1000_packets_per_second".
3. The destination is webservers.
4. The rate limit exists to limit the incoming amount of packets per
second. In this case the rate limit is "1000" packets per
second. This amount depends on the packet receiving capacity of
the server devices.
5. The Source is all sources which send abnormal amount of packets.
It is assumed that there is a counter per source IP address in
this DDoS-condition Firewall. The rate of "1000" packets per
second is set for each source to send packets toward the
destinations as webservers.
Jeong, et al. Expires 16 November 2023 [Page 63]

6. The action required is to "drop" when the packet reception is
more than "1000" packets per second for each source that sends
packets to the destinations.
8. IANA Considerations
This document requests IANA to register the following URI in the
"IETF XML Registry" [RFC3688]:
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-i2nsf-cons-facing-interface
Registrant Contact: The IESG.
XML: N/A; the requested URI is an XML namespace.
This document requests IANA to register the following YANG module in
the "YANG Module Names" registry [RFC7950][RFC8525]:
name: ietf-i2nsf-cons-facing-interface
namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-i2nsf-cons-facing-interface
prefix: i2nsfcfi
reference: RFC XXXX
// RFC Ed.: replace XXXX with an actual RFC number and remove
// this note.
9. Security Considerations
The YANG module specified in this document defines a data schema
designed to be accessed through network management protocols such as
NETCONF [RFC6241] or RESTCONF [RFC8040]. The lowest NETCONF layer is
the secure transport layer, and the required secure transport is
Secure Shell (SSH) [RFC6242]. The lowest RESTCONF layer is HTTPS,
and the required secure transport is TLS [RFC8446].
The Network Configuration Access Control Model (NACM) [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 contents. Thus, NACM SHOULD be used
to restrict the NSF registration from unauthorized users.
There are a number of data nodes defined in this YANG module that are
writable, creatable, and deletable (i.e., config true, which is the
default). These data nodes may be considered sensitive or vulnerable
in some network environments. Write operations to these data nodes
could have a negative effect on network and security operations.
These data nodes have the following sensitivity/vulnerability:
Jeong, et al. Expires 16 November 2023 [Page 64]
Internet-Draft Consumer-Facing Interface YANG Data Mode May 2023
* list i2nsf-cfi-policy: Writing to almost any element of this YANG
module would directly impact the configuration of NSFs
implementing the security policy, e.g., completely turning off
security monitoring and mitigation capabilities; altering the
scope of this monitoring and mitigation; creating an overwhelming
logging volume to overwhelm downstream analytics or storage
capacity; creating logging patterns which are confusing; or
reducing the efficacy of statistics or artificial models built on
historical data.
* container endpoint-groups: Writing to any element in this
container can alter the configuration of the security services and
may cause vulnerabilities in the network, e.g., changing
registered malicious endpoints can remove the defense against
known hostile clients. The information given may also be
considered private, hence it is strongly encouraged to inform
affected users/customers of this fact and of the potential
privacy-related consequences and trade-offs.
* container threat-prevention: Writing to any element in this
container can alter the configuration of the security services and
may cause vulnerabilities in the network, e.g., changing
registered signature can let malicious content to get across the
secured network without detection.
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 with their sensitivity/vulnerability:
* list i2nsf-cfi-policy: The leak of this node to an attacker could
reveal the specific configuration of security controls to an
attacker. An attacker can craft an attack path that avoids
observation or mitigations; one may reveal topology information to
inform additional targets or enable lateral movement; one enables
the construction of an attack path that avoids observation or
mitigations; one provides an indication that the operator has
discovered the attack.
* container endpoint-groups: This node holds a list of endpoint data
that may be considered private to the users. Disclosure of this
information may expose sensitive details which can be used to
define the identity and geographical location of a user.
Malicious actors can leverage this information to threaten the
user with cyber threat, e.g., voice phishing, or physical threat.
Jeong, et al. Expires 16 November 2023 [Page 65]
Internet-Draft Consumer-Facing Interface YANG Data Mode May 2023
* container threat-prevention: The leak of this node to an attacker
could reveal the specific detection system to an attacker. An
attacker can use this information to design new unknown attack
strategies to circumvent the existing detection or prevention
system.
