Network Working Group J. Jeong, Ed. Internet-Draft P. Lingga Intended status: Standards Track Sungkyunkwan University Expires: 21 May 2022 S. Hares L. Xia Huawei H. Birkholz Fraunhofer SIT 17 November 2021 I2NSF NSF Monitoring Interface YANG Data Model draft-ietf-i2nsf-nsf-monitoring-data-model-12 Abstract This document proposes an information model and the corresponding YANG data model of an interface for monitoring Network Security Functions (NSFs) in the Interface to Network Security Functions (I2NSF) framework. If the monitoring of NSFs is performed with the NSF monitoring interface in a comprehensive way, it is possible to detect the indication of malicious activity, anomalous behavior, the potential sign of denial of service attacks, or system overload in a timely manner. This monitoring functionality is based on the monitoring information that is generated by NSFs. Thus, this document describes not only an information model for the NSF monitoring interface along with a YANG data diagram, but also the corresponding YANG data model.

Introduction According to [RFC8329], the interface provided by a Network Security Function (NSF) (e.g., Firewall, IPS, or Anti-DDoS function) to administrative entities (e.g., Security Controller) to enable remote management (i.e., configuring and monitoring) is referred to as an I2NSF Monitoring Interface. This interface enables the sharing of vital data from the NSFs (e.g., alarms, records, and counters) to the Security Controller through a variety of mechanisms (e.g., queries, notifications, and events). The monitoring of NSF plays an important role in an overall security framework, if it is done in a timely and comprehensive way. The monitoring information generated by an NSF can be a good, early indication of anomalous behavior or malicious activity, such as denial of service attacks (DoS). Jeong, et al. Expires 21 May 2022 [Page 3] Internet-Draft NSF Monitoring Interface YANG Data Model November 2021 This document defines a comprehensive information model of an NSF monitoring interface that provides visibility into an NSF for the NSF data collector (e.g., Security Controller). Note that an NSF data collector is defined as an entity to collect NSF monitoring data from an NSF, such as Security Controller. It specifies the information and illustrates the methods that enable an NSF to provide the information required in order to be monitored in a scalable and efficient way via the NSF Monitoring Interface. The information model for the NSF monitoring interface presented in this document is complementary for the security policy provisioning functionality of the NSF-Facing Interface specified in [I-D.ietf-i2nsf-nsf-facing-interface-dm]. This document also defines a YANG [RFC7950] data model for the NSF monitoring interface, which is derived from the information model for the NSF monitoring interface. 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. Use Cases for NSF Monitoring Data As mentioned earlier, monitoring plays a critical role in an overall security framework. The monitoring of the NSF provides very valuable information to an NSF data collector (e.g., Security Controller) in maintaining the provisioned security posture. Besides this, there are various other reasons to monitor the NSF as listed below: * The security administrator with I2NSF User can configure a policy that is triggered on a specific event occurring in the NSF or the network [RFC8329] [I-D.ietf-i2nsf-consumer-facing-interface-dm]. If an NSF data collector detects the specified event, it configures additional security functions as defined by policies. Jeong, et al. Expires 21 May 2022 [Page 4] Internet-Draft NSF Monitoring Interface YANG Data Model November 2021 * The events triggered by an NSF as a result of security policy violation can be used by Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) to detect any suspicious activity in a larger correlation context. * The information (i.e., events, records, and counters) from an NSF can be used to build advanced analytics, such as behavior and predictive models to improve security posture in large deployments. * The NSF data collector can use events from the NSF for achieving high availability. It can take corrective actions such as restarting a failed NSF and horizontally scaling up the NSF. * The information (i.e., events, records, and counters) from the NSF can aid in the root cause analysis of an operational issue, so it can improve debugging. * The records from the NSF can be used to build historical data for operation and business reasons. 4. Classification of NSF Monitoring Data In order to maintain a strong security posture, it is not only necessary to configure an NSF's security policies but also to continuously monitor the NSF by consuming acquirable and observable data. This enables security administrators to assess the state of the networks and in a timely fashion. It is not possible to block all the internal and external threats based on static security posture. A more practical approach is supported by enabling dynamic security measures, for which continuous visibility is required. This document defines a set of monitoring elements and their scopes that can be acquired from an NSF and can be used as NSF monitoring data. In essence, these types of monitoring data can be leveraged to support constant visibility on multiple levels of granularity and can be consumed by the corresponding functions. Three basic domains about the monitoring data originating from a system entity [RFC4949], i.e., an NSF, are highlighted in this document. * Retention and Emission * Notifications, Events, and Records * Unsolicited Poll and Solicited Push Jeong, et al. Expires 21 May 2022 [Page 5] Internet-Draft NSF Monitoring Interface YANG Data Model November 2021 As with I2NSF components, every generic system entity can include a set of capabilities that creates information about some context with monitoring data (i.e., monitoring information), composition, configuration, state or behavior of that system entity. This information is intended to be provided to other consumers of information and in the scope of this document, which deals with NSF monitoring data in an automated fashion. 4.1. Retention and Emission A system entity (e.g., NSF) first retains I2NSF monitoring data inside its own system before emitting the information to another I2NSF component (e.g., NSF Data Collector). The I2NSF monitoring information consist of I2NSF Event, I2NSF Record, and I2NSF Counter as follows: I2NSF Event: I2NSF Event is defined as an important occurrence over time, that is, a change in the system being managed or a change in the environment of the system being managed. An I2NSF Event requires immediate attention and should be notified as soon as possible. When used in the context of an (imperative) I2NSF Policy Rule, an I2NSF Event is used to determine whether the Condition clause of that Policy Rule can be evaluated or not. The Alarm Management Framework in [RFC3877] defines an event as something that happens which may be of interest. Examples for an event are a fault, a change in status, crossing a threshold, or an external input to the system. In the I2NSF domain, I2NSF events are created following the definition of an event in the Alarm Management Framework. I2NSF Record: A record is defined as an item of information that is kept to be looked at and used in the future. Unlike I2NSF Event, records do not require immediate attention but may be useful for visibility and retroactive cyber forensic. Depending on the record format, there are different qualities in regard to structure and detail. Records are typically stored in log-files or databases on a system entity or NSF. Records in the form of log-files usually include less structures but potentially more detailed information in regard to the changes of a system entity's characteristics. In contrast, databases often use more strict schemas or data models, therefore enforcing a better structure. However, they inhibit storing information that does not match those models ("closed world assumption"). Records can be continuously processed by a system entity as an I2NSF Producer and emitted with a format tailored to a certain type of record. Typically, records are information generated by a system entity (e.g., NSF) that is based on operational and informational data, that is, various changes in system characteristics. The examples Jeong, et al. Expires 21 May 2022 [Page 6] Internet-Draft NSF Monitoring Interface YANG Data Model November 2021 of records include as user activities, network/traffic status, and network activity. They are important for debugging, auditing and security forensic of a system entity or the network having the system entity. I2NSF Counter: An I2NSF Counter is defined as a specific representation of continuous value changes of information elements that occur very frequently. Prominent examples are network interface counters for protocol data unit (PDU) amount, byte amount, drop counters, and error counters. Counters are useful in debugging and visibility into operational behavior of a system entity (e.g., NSF). When an NSF data collector asks for the value of a counter to it, a system entity emits The retention of I2NSF monitoring information listed in Section 9 may be affected by the importance of the data. The importance of the data could be context-dependent, where it may not just be based on the type of data, but may also depend on where it is deployed, e.g., a test lab and testbed. The local policy and configuration will dictate the policies and procedures to review, archive, or purge the collected monitoring data. The I2NSF monitoring information retained on a system entity (e.g., NSF) may be delivered to a corresponding I2NSF User via an NSF data collector. The information consists of the aggregated records, typically in the form of log-files or databases. For the NSF Monitoring Interface to deliver the information to the NSF data collector, the NSF needs to accommodate standardized delivery protocols, such as NETCONF [RFC6241] and RESTCONF [RFC8040]. The NSF data collector can forward the information to the I2NSF User through one of standardized delivery protocols. The interface for this delivery is out of the scope of this document. 4.2. Notifications, Events, and Records A specific task of I2NSF User is to process I2NSF Policy Rules. The rules of a policy are composed of three clauses: Event, Condition, and Action clauses. In consequence, an I2NSF Event is specified to trigger an I2NSF Policy Rule. Such an I2NSF Event is defined as any important occurrence over time in the system being managed, and/or in the environment of the system being managed, which aligns well with the generic definition of Event from [RFC3877]. Another role of the I2NSF Event is to trigger a notification for monitoring the status of an NSF. A notification is defined in [RFC3877] as an unsolicited transmission of management information. System alarm (called alarm) is defined as a warning related to service degradation in system hardware in Section 6.1. System event Jeong, et al. Expires 21 May 2022 [Page 7] Internet-Draft NSF Monitoring Interface YANG Data Model November 2021 (called alert) is defined as a warning about any changes of configuration, any access violation, the information of sessions and traffic flows in Section 6.2. Both an alarm and an alert are I2NSF Events that can be delivered as a notification. The model illustrated in this document introduces a complementary type of information that can be a conveyed notification. In I2NSF monitoring, a notification is used to deliver either an event and a record via the I2NSF Monitoring Interface. The difference between the event and record is the timing by which the notifications are emitted. An event is emitted as soon as it happens in order to notify an NSF Data Collector of the problem that needs immediate attention. A record is not emitted immediately to the NSF Data Collector, and it can be emitted periodically to the NSF Data Collector every certain time interval. It is important to note that an NSF Data Collector as a consumer (i.e., observer) of a notification assesses the importance of the notification rather than an NSF as a producer. The producer can include metadata in a notification that supports the observer in assessing its importance (e.g., severity). 4.3. Unsolicited Poll and Solicited Push The freshness of the monitored information depends on the acquisition method. Ideally, an I2NSF User is accessing every relevant information about the I2NSF Component and is emitting I2NSF Events to an NSF data collector (e.g., Security Controller) in a timely manner. Publication of events via a pubsub/broker model, peer-2-peer meshes, or static defined channels are only a few examples on how a solicited push of I2NSF Events can be facilitated. The actual mechanism implemented by an I2NSF Component is out of the scope of this document. Often, the corresponding management interfaces have to be queried in intervals or on demand if required by an I2NSF Policy rule. In some cases, the collection of information has to be conducted via a login mechanism provided by a system entity. Accessing records of information via this kind of unsolicited polls can introduce a significant latency in regard to the freshness of the monitored information. The actual definition of intervals implemented by an I2NSF Component is also out of scope of this document. Jeong, et al. Expires 21 May 2022 [Page 8] Internet-Draft NSF Monitoring Interface YANG Data Model November 2021 5. Basic Information Model for Monitoring Data As explained in the above section, there is a wealth of data available from the NSF that can be monitored. Firstly, there must be some general information with each monitoring message sent from an NSF that helps a consumer to identify meta data with that message, which are listed as below: * message: The extra detail to give the context of the information. * vendor-name: The name of the NSF vendor. * nsf-name: The name or IP address of the NSF generating the message. If the given nsf-name is not IP address, the name can be an arbitrary string including FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name). The name MUST be unique in the scope of management domain for a different NSF to identify the NSF that generates the message. * severity: It indicates the severity level. There are total four levels, i.e., critical, high, middle, and low. * timestamp: Indicates the time when the message is generated. For the notification operations (i.e., System Alarms, System Events, NSF Events, System Logs, and NSF Logs), this is represented by the eventTime of NETCONF event notification [RFC5277] For other operations (i.e., System Counter and NSF Counter), the timestamp MUST be provided separately. 6. Extended Information Model for Monitoring Data This section covers the additional information associated with the system messages. The extended information model is only for the structured data such as events, record, and counters. Any unstructured data is specified with the basic information model only. Each information has characteristics as follows: * Acquisition method: The method to obtain the message. It can be a "query" or a "subscription". A "query" is a request-based method to acquire the solicited information. A "subscription" is a subscribe-based method to acquire the unsolicited information. * Emission type: The cause type for the message to be emitted. It can be "on-change" or "periodic". An "on-change" message is emitted when an important event happens in the NSF. A "periodic" message is emitted at a certain time interval. The time to periodically emit the message is configurable. Jeong, et al. Expires 21 May 2022 [Page 9] Internet-Draft NSF Monitoring Interface YANG Data Model November 2021 * Dampening type: The type of message dampening to stop the rapid transmission of messages. The dampening types are "on-repetition" and "no-dampening". The "on-repetition" type limits the transmitted "on-change" message to one message at a certain interval. This interval is defined as dampening-period in [RFC8641]. The dampening-period is configurable. The "no- dampening" type does not limit the transmission for the messages of the same type. In short, "on-repetition" means that the dampening is active and "no-dampening" is inactive. It is recommended to activate the dampening for an "on-change" type of message to reduce the number of messages generated. 6.1.

NSF Monitoring Management in I2NSF A standard model for monitoring data is required for an administrator to check the monitoring data generated by an NSF. The administrator can check the monitoring data through the following process. When the NSF monitoring data that is under the standard format is generated, the NSF forwards it to an NSF data collector via the I2NSF NSF Monitoring Interface. The NSF data collector delivers it to I2NSF Consumer or Developer's Management System (DMS) so that the administrator can know the state of the I2NSF framework. In order to communicate with other components, an I2NSF framework [RFC8329] requires the interfaces. The three main interfaces in I2NSF framework are used for sending monitoring data as follows: * I2NSF Consumer-Facing Interface [I-D.ietf-i2nsf-consumer-facing-interface-dm]: When an I2NSF User makes a security policy and forwards it to the Security Controller via Consumer-Facing Interface, it can specify the threat-feed for threat prevention, the custom list, the malicious code scan group, and the event map group. They can be used as an event to be monitored by an NSF. * I2NSF Registration Interface [I-D.ietf-i2nsf-registration-interface-dm]: The Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) architecture provides the lifecycle management of a Virtual Network Function (VNF) via the Ve-Vnfm interface. The role of Ve-Vnfm is to request VNF lifecycle management (e.g., the instantiation and de-instantiation of an NSF, and load balancing among NSFs), exchange configuration information, and exchange status information for a network service. In the I2NSF framework, the DMS manages data about resource states and network traffic for the lifecycle management of an NSF. Therefore, the generated monitoring data from NSFs are delivered from the NSF data collector to the DMS via either Registration Interface or a new interface (e.g., NSF Monitoring Interface). These data are delivered from the DMS to the VNF Manager in the Management and Orchestration (MANO) in the NFV system [I-D.ietf-i2nsf-applicability]. * I2NSF NSF Monitoring Interface [RFC8329]: After a high-level security policy from I2NSF User is translated by security policy translator [I-D.yang-i2nsf-security-policy-translation] in the Security Controller, the translated security policy (i.e., low- level policy) is applied to an NSF via NSF-Facing Interface. The monitoring interface data model for an NSF specifies the list of events that can trigger Event-Condition-Action (ECA) policies via NSF Monitoring Interface. Jeong, et al.

I2NSF Event Stream This section discusses the NETCONF event stream for I2NSF NSF Monitoring subscription. The YANG module in this document supports "ietf-subscribed-notifications" YANG module [RFC8639] for subscription. The reserved event stream name for this document is "I2NSF-Monitoring". The NETCONF Server (e.g., an NSF) MUST support "I2NSF-Monitoring" event stream for an NSF data collector (e.g., Security Controller). The "I2NSF-Monitoring" event stream contains all I2NSF events described in this document. The following example shows the capabilities of the event streams of an NSF (e.g., "NETCONF" and "I2NSF-Monitoring" event streams) by the subscription of an NSF data collector; note that this example XML file is delivered by an NSF to an NSF data collector. The XML examples in this document follow the line breaks as per [RFC8792].

XML Examples for I2NSF NSF Monitoring This section shows the XML examples of I2NSF NSF Monitoring data delivered via Monitoring Interface from an NSF. 11.1. I2NSF System Detection Alarm The following example shows an alarm triggered by Memory Usage of the server; note that this example XML file is delivered by an NSF to an NSF data collector: 2021-04-29T07:43:52.181088+00:00 nsfmi:memory-alarm nsfmi:subscription nsfmi:on-change nsfmi:on-repetition 91 90 Memory Usage Exceeded the Threshold time_based_firewall high Jeong, et al. Expires 21 May 2022 [Page 79] Internet-Draft NSF Monitoring Interface YANG Data Model November 2021 Figure 4: Example of I2NSF System Detection Alarm triggered by Memory Usage The XML data above shows: 1. The NSF that sends the information is named "time_based_firewall". 2. The memory usage of the NSF triggered the alarm. 3. The monitoring information is received by subscription method. 4. The monitoring information is emitted "on-change". 5. The monitoring information is dampened "on-repetition". 6. The memory usage of the NSF is 91 percent. 7. The memory threshold to trigger the alarm is 90 percent. 8. The severity level of the notification is high. 11.2. I2NSF Interface Counters To get the I2NSF system interface counters information by query, NETCONF Client (e.g., NSF data collector) needs to initiate GET connection with NETCONF Server (e.g., NSF). The following XML file can be used to get the state data and filter the information.

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-nsf-monitoring 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-nsf-monitoring namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-i2nsf-nsf-monitoring prefix: nsfmi reference: RFC XXXX // RFC Ed.: replace XXXX with an actual RFC number and remove // this note. 13. Security Considerations YANG module described in this document defines a schema for data that is designed to be accessed via network management protocols such as NETCONF [RFC6241] or RESTCONF [RFC8040]. The lowest NETCONF layer is the secure transport layer, and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is Secure Shell (SSH) [RFC6242]. The lowest RESTCONF layer is HTTPS, and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is TLS [RFC8446]. The Network Configuration Access Control Model (NACM) [RFC8341] provides the means to restrict access for particular NETCONF or RESTCONF users to a preconfigured subset of all available NETCONF or RESTCONF protocol operations and content. All data nodes defined in the YANG module which can be created, modified and deleted (i.e., config true, which is the default) are considered sensitive as they all could potentially impact security monitoring and mitigation activities. Write operations (e.g., edit- config) applied to these data nodes without proper protection could result in missed alarms or incorrect alarms information being returned to the NSF data collector. There are threats that need to be considered and mitigated: Compromised NSF with valid credentials: It can send falsified Jeong, et al. Expires 21 May 2022 [Page 82] Internet-Draft NSF Monitoring Interface YANG Data Model November 2021 information to the NSF data collector to mislead detection or mitigation activities; and/or to hide activity. Currently, there is no in-framework mechanism to mitigate this and an issue for all monitoring infrastructures. It is important to keep the enclosure of confidential information to unauthorized persons to mitigate the possibility of compromising the NSF with this information. Compromised NSF data collector with valid credentials: It has visibility to all collected security alarms; entire detection and mitigation infrastructure may be suspect. It is important to keep the enclosure of confidential information to unauthorized persons to mitigate the possibility of compromising the NSF with this information. Impersonating NSF: It is a system trying to send false information while imitating an NSF; client authentication would help the NSF data collector to identify this invalid NSF in the "push" model (NSF-to-collector), while the "pull" model (collector-to-NSF) should already be addressed with the authentication. Impersonating NSF data collector: It is a rogue NSF data collector with which a legitimate NSF is tricked into communicating; for "push" model (NSF-to-collector), it is important to have valid credentials, without it it should not work; for "pull" model (collector-to-NSF), mutual authentication should be used to mitigate the threat. In addition, to defend against the DDoS attack caused by a lot of NSFs sending massive notifications to the NSF data collector, the rate limiting or similar mechanisms should be considered in both an NSF and NSF data collector, whether in advance or just in the process of DDoS attack. All of the readable data nodes in this YANG module may be considered sensitive in some network environments. These data nodes represent information consistent with the logging commonly performed in network and security operations. They may reveal the specific configuration of a network; vulnerabilities in specific systems; and the deployed security controls and their relative efficacy in detecting or mitigating an attack. To an attacker, this information could inform how to (further) compromise the network, evade detection, or confirm whether they have been observed by the network operator. Jeong, et al. Expires 21 May 2022 [Page 83] Internet-Draft NSF Monitoring Interface YANG Data Model November 2021 Additionally, many of the data nodes in this YANG module such as containers "i2nsf-system-user-activity-log", "i2nsf-system-detection- event", and "i2nsf-nsf-detection-voip-volte" are privacy sensitive. They may describe specific or aggregate user activity to include associating user names with specific IP addresses; or users with specific network usage. 14.
