I2NSF Consumer-Facing Interface YANG Data Model
draft-ietf-i2nsf-consumer-facing-interface-dm-11
Abstract
This document describes an information model and a YANG data model
for the Consumer-Facing Interface between an Interface to Network
Security Functions (I2NSF) User and Security Controller in an I2NSF
system in a Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) environment. The
information model defines various types of managed objects and the
relationship among them needed to build the interface. The
information model is based on the "Event-Condition-Action" (ECA)
policy model defined by a capability information model for I2NSF
[I-D.ietf-i2nsf-capability], and the data model is defined for
enabling different users of a given I2NSF system to define, manage,
and monitor security policies for specific flows within an
administrative domain.

1. Introduction
In a framework of Interface to Network Security Functions (I2NSF)
[RFC8329], 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 [I-D.ietf-i2nsf-capability] 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
model, which represents an implementation of the information model in
a specific data representation language, is also defined in 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. 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
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
This document uses the terminology described in [RFC8329].
This document follows the guidelines of [RFC8407], uses the common
YANG types defined in [I-D.ietf-netmod-rfc6991-bis], and adopts the
Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA). The meaning of the
symbols in tree diagrams is defined in [RFC8340].
3. 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 YANG tree of the Policy object. The
Policy object SHALL have the following information:
Name: This field identifies the name of this object.
Rule: This field contains a list of rules. These rules are
defined for 1) communication between two Endpoint Groups,
2) for preventing communication with externally or
internally identified threats, and 3) for implementing
business requirement such as controlling access to internal
or external resources for meeting regulatory compliance or
business objectives. An organization may restrict certain
communication between a set of user and applications for
example. The threats may be from threat feeds obtained
from external sources or dynamically identified by using
specialty devices in the network. Rule conflict analysis
should be triggered by the monitoring service to perform an
exhaustive detection of anomalies among the configuration
rules installed into the security functions.

Figure 2: Policy YANG Data Tree
A policy is a container of Rule(s). 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 YANG
data tree of the Rule object. The rule object SHALL have the
following information:
Name: This field identifies the name of this object.
Event: This field includes the information to determine whether
the Rule Condition can be evaluated or not. See details in
Section 4.1.
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 [I-D.ietf-i2nsf-sdn-ipsec-flow-protection].

3.1. Event Sub-model
The Event Object contains information related to scheduling a Rule.
The Rule could be activated based on a set time or security event.
Figure 4 shows the YANG tree of the Event object. Event object SHALL
have following information:
Jeong, et al. Expires March 10, 2021 [Page 6]

Security-event: This field identifies for which security event
the policy is enforced. The examples of security events
are: "DDOS", "spyware", "trojan", and "ransomware".
Time-information: This represents the security rule is enforced
based on the period information with the end time for the
event.
Period: This represents the period of time the rule event is
active.
End-time: This represents the end time of the event. If the
rule time has pass the end-time, the rule will stop
repeating"
Frequency: This represents how frequent the rule should be
enforced. There are four options: "only-once", "daily",
"weekly" and "monthly".

3.2. 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 and
destination-target to represent the source and destination for each
case. Figure 5 shows the YANG tree of the Condition object. The
Condition Sub-model SHALL have following information:
Jeong, et al. Expires March 10, 2021 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft Consumer-Facing Interface YANG Data Model September 2020
Case (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 firewall-
source and firewall-destination, each referring to the IP-
address-based groups defined in the endpoint-groups.
Case (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 ddos-
source and ddos-destination, each referring to the device-
groups defined and registered in the endpoint-groups.
Case (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 custom-source and custom-destination, each
referring to the payload-groups defined and registered in
the endpoint-groups.
Case (Threat-feed-condition): This field contains the
information obtained from threat-feeds (e.g., Palo-Alto, or
RSA-netwitness). This information is useful when security
rule condition is based on the existing threat reports
gathered by other sources. The source and destination is
represented as threat-feed-source and threat-feed-
destination. For clarity, threat-feed-source/destination
represent the source/destination of a target security
threat, not the information source/destination of a threat-
feed.

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 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", "ALERT", "RATE-LIMIT", and "MIRROR".

4. 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 7. Figure 8 shows the YANG tree of the Endpoint-
Groups object. This section lists these objects and relationship
among them.
It is assumed that the information of Endpoint Groups (e.g., User-
group, Device-group, and Location-group) such as the IP address(es)
of each member in a group are stored in the I2NSF database available
to the Security Controller, and that the IP address information of
each group in the I2NSF database is synchronized with other systems
in the networks under the same administration.

5. Information Model for Threat Prevention
The threat prevention plays an important part in the overall security
posture by reducing the attack surfaces. This information could come
from various threat feeds (i.e., sources for obtaining the threat
information). There are multiple managed objects that constitute
this category. This section lists these objects and relationship
among them. Figure 13 shows the YANG tree of a Threat-Prevention
object.

malicious activities. Figure 14 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.
Server-ipv4: This represents the IPv4 server address of the feed
provider, which may be either an external or local server.
Server-ipv6: This represents the IPv6 server address of the feed
provider, which may be either an external or local server.

Internet-Draft Consumer-Facing Interface YANG Data Model September 2020
Description: This is the description of the threat feed. The
description should have the clear indication of the
security attack such as attack type (e.g., APT) and file
types used (e.g., executable malware).
Threat-file-types: This field identifies the information about
the file types identified and reported by the threat-feed.
Signatures: This field contains the threat signatures of
malicious programs or activities provided by the threat-
feed. The examples of signature types are "YARA",
"SURICATA", and "SNORT" [YARA][SURICATA][SNORT].
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. The retrieval of the threat signatures by the
I2NSF User is out of scope in this document.

6. Network Configuration Access Control Model (NACM) for I2NSF
Consumer-Facing Interface
Network Configuration Access Control Model (NACM) provides a user
group with an access control with the following features [RFC8341]:
o Independent control of action, data, and notification access is
provided.
o A simple and familiar set of datastore permissions is used.
o Support for YANG security tagging allows default security modes to
automatically exclude sensitive data.
o Separate default access modes for read, write, and execute
permissions are provided.
o Access control rules are applied to configurable groups of users.
The data model of the I2NSF Consumer-Facing Interface utilizes the
NACM's mechanisms to manage the access control on the I2NSF Consumer-
Facing Interface. The NACM with the above features can be used to
set up the access control rules of a user group in the I2NSF
Consumer-Facing Interface.
Figure 16 shows part of the NACM module to enable the access control
of a user group for the I2NSF Consumer-Facing Interface. To use the
NACM, a user needs to configure either a NETCONF server [RFC6241] or
a RESTCONF server [RFC8040] to enable the NACM module. Then, the
user can simply use an account of root or admin user for the access
control for the module of the I2NSF Consumer-Facing Interface (i.e.,

7. YANG Data Model of 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 is 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.
With the YANG data model of I2NSF Consumer-Facing Interface, this
document suggests use cases for security policy rules such as time-
based firewall, VoIP/VoLTE security service, and DDoS-attack
mitigation in Section 8.
7.1. YANG Module of Consumer-Facing Interface
This section describes a YANG module of Consumer-Facing Interface.
This YANG module imports from [I-D.ietf-netmod-rfc6991-bis]. It
makes references to [RFC0854][RFC0913][RFC0959][RFC1081][RFC1631][RFC
2616][RFC2818][RFC4250][RFC5321].

8. XML Configuration Examples of High-Level Security Policy Rules
This section shows XML configuration examples of high-level security
policy rules that are delivered from the I2NSF User to the Security
Controller over the Consumer-Facing Interface. The considered use
cases are: Database registration, time-based firewall for web
filtering, VoIP/VoLTE security service, and DDoS-attack mitigation.
8.1. Database Registration: Information of Positions and Devices
(Endpoint Group)
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 either of three different groups
(i.e., user-group, device-group, and payload-group), each of them
should be registered with information such as ip-addresses or
protocols used by devices.
Figure 18 shows an example XML representation of the registered
information for the user-group and device-group with IPv4 addresses
[RFC5737].

8.2. 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 Social Networking Services (SNS) during the office hours
(weekdays). The XML instance is described below:

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.
6. The IPsec method type used for nsf traffic steering is set to
"ipsec-ike".
8.3. 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 21 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:

1. The policy name is
"security_policy_for_blocking_malicious_voip_packets".
2. The rule name is "Block_malicious_voip_and_volte_packets".
3. The Source is "malicious-id". 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".
Jeong, et al. Expires March 10, 2021 [Page 47]
Internet-Draft Consumer-Facing Interface YANG Data Model September 2020
6. The IPsec method used for nsf traffic steering is set to "ipsec-
ikeless".
8.4. 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. 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-cfi-policy">
<policy-name>security_policy_for_ddos_attacks</policy-name>

1. The policy name is "security_policy_for_ddos_attacks".
2. The rule name is "100_packets_per_second".
3. The destination target is "webservers". "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 is all sources which send abnormal amount of packets.
6. The action required is to "drop" packet reception is more than
100 packets per second.
7. The IPsec method used for nsf traffic steering is set to "ipsec-
ike".
9. XML Configuration Example of a User Group's Access Control for I2NSF
Consumer-Facing Interface
This is an example for creating privileges for a group of users
(i.e., a user group) to access and use the I2NSF Consumer-Facing
Interface to create security policies via the interface. For the
access control of the Consumer-Facing Interface, the NACM module can
be used. Figure 23 shows an XML example the access control of a user
group (named Example-Group) for I2NSF Consumer-Facing Interface A
group called Example-Group can be created and configured with NACM
for the Consumer-Facing Interface. For Example-Group, a rule list
can created with the name of Example-Group-Rules. Example-Group-
Rules has two rules of Example-Group-Rule1 and Example-Group-Rule2 as
follows. For Example-Group-Rule1, the privilege of "Read" is allowed
to Example-Group for the Consumer-Facing Interface. On the other
hand, for Example-Group-Rule2, the privileges of "Create", "Update",
and "Delete" are denied against Example-Group for the Consumer-Facing
Interface.

follows.
1. The NACM is enabled.
2. As a group name, Example-Group is specified.
3. As members of the group, Alice, Bob, and Eve are specified.
4. As a rule list name, Example-Group-Rules is specified for
managing privileges of Example-Group's members.
5. As the first rule name, Example-Group-Rule1 is specified. This
rule is used to give read privilege to Example-Group's members
for the module of the I2NSF Consumer-Facing Interface.

6. As the second rule name, Example-Group-Rule2 is specified. This
rule is used to deny create, update, and delete privileges
against Example-Group's members for the module of the I2NSF
Consumer-Facing Interface.
10. 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-cfi-policy
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-cfi-policy
namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-i2nsf-cfi-policy
prefix: nsfcfi
reference: RFC XXXX
// RFC Ed.: replace XXXX with an actual RFC number and remove
// this note.
11. Security Considerations
The data model for the I2NSF Consumer-Facing Interface is based on
the I2NSF framework [RFC8329], so the same security considerations
with the I2NSF framework should be included in this document. The
data model needs a secure communication channel to protect the
Consumer-Facing Interface between the I2NSF User and Security
Controller. Also, the data model's management access control is
based on Network Configuration Access Control Model(NACM) mechanisms
[RFC8341].
