Introduction This document presents a YANG 1.1 [RFC7950] module defining identities, typedefs, and groupings useful to cryptographic applications. 1.1. Relation to Other RFCs This document presents a YANG module [RFC7950] that is part of a collection of RFCs that work together to, ultimately, support the configuration of both the clients and servers of both the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) [RFC6241] and RESTCONF [RFC8040]. The dependency relationship between the primary YANG groupings defined in the various RFCs is presented in the below diagram. In some cases, a document may define secondary groupings that introduce dependencies not illustrated in the diagram. The labels in the diagram are shorthand names for the defining RFCs. The citation references for the shorthand names are provided below the diagram. Please note that the arrows in the diagram point from referencer to referenced. For example, the "crypto-types" RFC does not have any dependencies, whilst the "keystore" RFC depends on the "crypto-types" RFC. crypto-types ^ ^ / \ / \ truststore keystore ^ ^ ^ ^ | +---------+ | | | | | | | +------------+ | tcp-client-server | / | | ^ ^ ssh-client-server | | | | ^ tls-client-server | | | ^ ^ http-client-server | | | | | ^ | | | +-----+ +---------+ | | | | | | | | +-----------|--------|--------------+ | | | | | | | | +-----------+ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | netconf-client-server restconf-client-server +========================+==========================+ | Label in Diagram | Reference | +========================+==========================+ | crypto-types | RFC 9640 | +------------------------+--------------------------+ | truststore | [RFC9641] | +------------------------+--------------------------+ | keystore | [RFC9642] | +------------------------+--------------------------+ | tcp-client-server | [RFC9643] | +------------------------+--------------------------+ | ssh-client-server | [RFC9644] | +------------------------+--------------------------+ | tls-client-server | [RFC9645] | +------------------------+--------------------------+ | http-client-server | [HTTP-CLIENT-SERVER] | +------------------------+--------------------------+ | netconf-client-server | [NETCONF-CLIENT-SERVER] | +------------------------+--------------------------+ | restconf-client-server | [RESTCONF-CLIENT-SERVER] | +------------------------+--------------------------+ Table 1: Labels in Diagram to RFC Mapping 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. Adherence to the NMDA This document is compliant with the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) [RFC8342]. It does not define any protocol- accessible nodes that are "config false". 1.4. Conventions Various examples in this document use "BASE64VALUE=" as a placeholder value for binary data that has been base64 encoded (per Section 9.8 of [RFC7950]). This placeholder value is used because real base64-encoded structures are often many lines long and hence distracting to the example being presented. Various examples in this document use the XML [W3C.REC-xml-20081126] encoding. Other encodings, such as JSON [RFC8259], could alternatively be used. Various examples in this document contain long lines that may be folded, as described in [RFC8792]. 2. The "ietf-crypto-types" Module This section defines a YANG 1.1 [RFC7950] module called "ietf-crypto- types". A high-level overview of the module is provided in Section 2.1. Examples illustrating the module's use are provided in 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-crypto-types" module in terms of its features, identities, typedefs, and groupings. 2.1.1. Features The following diagram lists all the "feature" statements defined in the "ietf-crypto-types" module: Features: +-- one-symmetric-key-format +-- one-asymmetric-key-format +-- symmetrically-encrypted-value-format +-- asymmetrically-encrypted-value-format +-- cms-enveloped-data-format +-- cms-encrypted-data-format +-- p10-csr-format +-- csr-generation +-- certificate-expiration-notification +-- cleartext-passwords +-- encrypted-passwords +-- cleartext-symmetric-keys +-- hidden-symmetric-keys +-- encrypted-symmetric-keys +-- cleartext-private-keys +-- hidden-private-keys +-- encrypted-private-keys The diagram above uses syntax that is similar to but not the same as that in [RFC8340]. 2.1.2. Identities The following diagram illustrates the hierarchical relationship amongst the "identity" statements defined in the "ietf-crypto-types" module: Identities: +-- public-key-format | +-- subject-public-key-info-format | +-- ssh-public-key-format +-- private-key-format | +-- rsa-private-key-format | +-- ec-private-key-format | +-- one-asymmetric-key-format | {one-asymmetric-key-format}? +-- symmetric-key-format | +-- octet-string-key-format | +-- one-symmetric-key-format | {one-symmetric-key-format}? +-- encrypted-value-format | +-- symmetrically-encrypted-value-format | | | {symmetrically-encrypted-value-format}? | | +-- cms-encrypted-data-format | | {cms-encrypted-data-format}? | +-- asymmetrically-encrypted-value-format | | {asymmetrically-encrypted-value-format}? | +-- cms-enveloped-data-format | {cms-enveloped-data-format}? +-- csr-format +-- p10-csr-format {p10-csr-format?} The diagram above uses syntax that is similar to but not the same as that in [RFC8340]. Comments: * The diagram shows that there are five base identities. The first three identities are used to indicate the format for the key data, while the fourth identity is used to indicate the format for encrypted values. The fifth identity is used to indicate the format for a certificate signing request (CSR). The base identities are "abstract", in the object oriented programming sense, in that they only define a "class" of formats, rather than a specific format. * The various terminal identities define specific encoding formats. The derived identities defined in this document are sufficient for the effort described in Section 1.1, but by nature of them being identities, additional derived identities MAY be defined by future efforts. * Identities used to specify uncommon formats are enabled by "feature" statements, allowing applications to support them when needed. 2.1.3. Typedefs The following diagram illustrates the relationship amongst the "typedef" statements defined in the "ietf-crypto-types" module: Typedefs: binary +-- csr-info +-- csr +-- x509 | +-- trust-anchor-cert-x509 | +-- end-entity-cert-x509 +-- crl +-- ocsp-request +-- ocsp-response +-- cms +-- data-content-cms +-- signed-data-cms | +-- trust-anchor-cert-cms | +-- end-entity-cert-cms +-- enveloped-data-cms +-- digested-data-cms +-- encrypted-data-cms +-- authenticated-data-cms The diagram above uses syntax that is similar to but not the same as that in [RFC8340]. Comments: * All the typedefs defined in the "ietf-crypto-types" module extend the "binary" type defined in [RFC7950]. * Additionally, all the typedefs define a type for encoding an ASN.1 [ITU.X680.2021] structure using DER [ITU.X690.2021]. * The "trust-anchor-*" and "end-entity-*" typedefs are syntactically identical to their base typedefs and only distinguish themselves by the expected nature of their content. These typedefs are defined to facilitate common modeling needs. 2.1.4. Groupings The "ietf-crypto-types" module defines the following "grouping" statements: * encrypted-value-grouping * password-grouping * symmetric-key-grouping * public-key-grouping * private-key-grouping * asymmetric-key-pair-grouping * certificate-expiration-grouping * trust-anchor-cert-grouping * end-entity-cert-grouping * generate-csr-grouping * asymmetric-key-pair-with-cert-grouping * asymmetric-key-pair-with-certs-grouping Each of these groupings are presented in the following subsections. 2.1.4.1. The "encrypted-value-grouping" Grouping The following tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrates the "encrypted- value-grouping" grouping: grouping encrypted-value-grouping: +-- encrypted-by +-- encrypted-value-format identityref +-- encrypted-value binary Comments: * The "encrypted-by" node is an empty container (difficult to see in the diagram) that a consuming module MUST augment key references into. The "ietf-crypto-types" module is unable to populate this container as the module only defines groupings. Section 2.2.1 presents an example illustrating a consuming module populating the "encrypted-by" container. * The "encrypted-value" node is the value encrypted by the key referenced by the "encrypted-by" node and encoded in the format appropriate for the kind of key it was encrypted by. - If the value is encrypted by a symmetric key, then the encrypted value is encoded using the format associated with the "symmetrically-encrypted-value-format" identity. - If the value is encrypted by an asymmetric key, then the encrypted value is encoded using the format associated with the "asymmetrically-encrypted-value-format" identity. See Section 2.1.2 for information about the "format" identities. 2.1.4.2. The "password-grouping" Grouping This section presents a tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrating the "password-grouping" grouping. This tree diagram does not expand the internally used "grouping" statement(s): grouping password-grouping: +-- (password-type) +--:(cleartext-password) {cleartext-passwords}? | +-- cleartext-password? string +--:(encrypted-password) {encrypted-passwords}? +-- encrypted-password +---u encrypted-value-grouping Comments: * The "password-grouping" enables the configuration of credentials needed to authenticate to a remote system. The "ianach:crypt- hash" typedef from [RFC7317] should be used instead when needing to configure a password to authenticate a local account. * For the referenced "grouping" statement(s): - The "encrypted-value-grouping" grouping is discussed in Section 2.1.4.1. * The "choice" statement enables the password data to be cleartext or encrypted, as follows: - The "cleartext-password" node can encode any cleartext value. - The "encrypted-password"node's structurenode is an instance of the "encrypted- value-grouping" discussed in Section 2.1.4.1. 2.1.4.3. The "symmetric-key-grouping" Grouping This section presents a tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrating the "symmetric-key-grouping" grouping. This tree diagram does not expand the internally used "grouping" statement(s): grouping symmetric-key-grouping: +-- key-format? identityref +-- (key-type) +--:(cleartext-symmetric-key) | +-- cleartext-symmetric-key? binary | {cleartext-symmetric-keys}? +--:(hidden-symmetric-key) {hidden-symmetric-keys}? | +-- hidden-symmetric-key? empty +--:(encrypted-symmetric-key) {encrypted-symmetric-keys}? +-- encrypted-symmetric-key +---u encrypted-value-grouping Comments: * For the referenced "grouping" statement(s): - The "encrypted-value-grouping" grouping is discussed in Section 2.1.4.1. * The "key-format" node is an identity-reference to the "symmetric- key-format" abstract base identity discussed in Section 2.1.2, enabling the symmetric key to be encoded using any of the formats defined by the derived identities. * The "choice" statement enables the private key data to be cleartext, encrypted, or hidden, as follows: - The "cleartext-symmetric-key" node can encode any cleartext key value. - The "hidden-symmetric-key" node is of type "empty" as the real value cannot be presented via the management interface. - The "encrypted-symmetric-key" node's structure is discussed in Section 2.1.4.1. 2.1.4.4. The "public-key-grouping" Grouping This section presents a tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrating the "public-key-grouping" grouping. This tree diagram does not expand any internally used "grouping" statement(s): grouping public-key-grouping: +-- public-key-format identityref +-- public-key binary Comments: * The "public-key-format" node is an identity-reference to the "public-key-format" abstract base identity discussed in Section 2.1.2, enabling the public key to be encoded using any of the formats defined by the derived identities. * The "public-key" node is the public key data in the selected format. No "choice" statement is used to hide or encrypt the public key data because it is unnecessary to do so for public keys. 2.1.4.5. The "private-key-grouping" Grouping This section presents a tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrating the "private-key-grouping" grouping. This tree diagram does not expand the internally used "grouping" statement(s): grouping private-key-grouping: +-- private-key-format? identityref +-- (private-key-type) +--:(cleartext-private-key) {cleartext-private-keys}? | +-- cleartext-private-key? binary +--:(hidden-private-key) {hidden-private-keys}? | +-- hidden-private-key? empty +--:(encrypted-private-key) {encrypted-private-keys}? +-- encrypted-private-key +---u encrypted-value-grouping Comments: * For the referenced "grouping" statement(s): - The "encrypted-value-grouping" grouping is discussed in Section 2.1.4.1. * The "private-key-format" node is an identity-reference to the "private-key-format" abstract base identity discussed in Section 2.1.2, enabling the private key to be encoded using any of the formats defined by the derived identities. * The "choice" statement enables the private key data to be cleartext, encrypted, or hidden, as follows: - The "cleartext-private-key" node can encode any cleartext key value. - The "hidden-private-key" node is of type "empty" as the real value cannot be presented via the management interface. - The "encrypted-private-key" node's structure is discussed in Section 2.1.4.1. 2.1.4.6. The "asymmetric-key-pair-grouping" Grouping This section presents a tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrating the "asymmetric-key-pair-grouping" grouping. This tree diagram does not expand the internally used "grouping" statement(s): grouping asymmetric-key-pair-grouping: +---u public-key-grouping +---u private-key-grouping Comments: * For the referenced "grouping" statement(s): - The "public-key-grouping" grouping is discussed in Section 2.1.4.4. - The "private-key-grouping" grouping is discussed in Section 2.1.4.5. 2.1.4.7. The "certificate-expiration-grouping" Grouping This section presents a tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrating the "certificate-expiration-grouping" grouping: grouping certificate-expiration-grouping: +---n certificate-expiration {certificate-expiration-notification}? +-- expiration-date yang:date-and-time Comments: * This grouping's only purpose is to define the "certificate- expiration" notification statement, used by the groupings defined in Sections 2.1.4.8 and 2.1.4.9. * The "certificate-expiration" notification enables servers to notify clients when certificates are nearing expiration. * The "expiration-date" node indicates when the designated certificate will (or did) expire. * Identification of the certificate that is expiring is built into the notification itself. For an example, please see Section 2.2.3. 2.1.4.8. The "trust-anchor-cert-grouping" Grouping This section presents a tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrating the "trust-anchor-cert-grouping" grouping. This tree diagram does not expand the internally used "grouping" statement(s): grouping trust-anchor-cert-grouping: +-- cert-data? trust-anchor-cert-cms +---u certificate-expiration-grouping Comments: * For the referenced "grouping" statement(s): - The "certificate-expiration-grouping" grouping is discussed in Section 2.1.4.7. * The "cert-data" node contains a chain of one or more certificates containing at most one self-signed certificate (the "root" certificate), encoded using a "signed-data-cms" typedef discussed in Section 2.1.3. 2.1.4.9. The "end-entity-cert-grouping" Grouping This section presents a tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrating the "end- entity-cert-grouping" grouping. This tree diagram does not expand the internally used "grouping" statement(s): grouping end-entity-cert-grouping: +-- cert-data? end-entity-cert-cms +---u certificate-expiration-grouping Comments: * For the referenced "grouping" statement(s): - The "certificate-expiration-grouping" grouping is discussed in Section 2.1.4.7. * The "cert-data" node contains a chain of one or more certificates containing at most one certificate that is not self-signed and does not have Basic constraint "CA true" (where "CA" meanscertification authority),Certification Authority), encoded using a "signed-data-cms" typedef discussed in Section 2.1.3. 2.1.4.10. The "generate-csr-grouping" Grouping This section presents a tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrating the "generate-csr-grouping" grouping: grouping generate-csr-grouping: +---x generate-csr {csr-generation}? +---w input | +---w csr-format identityref | +---w csr-info csr-info +--ro output +--ro (csr-type) +--:(p10-csr) +--ro p10-csr? p10-csr Comments: * This grouping's only purpose is to define the"generate- certificate-signing-request""generate-csr" action statement, used by the groupings defined in Sections 2.1.4.11 and 2.1.4.12. * This action takesastwo input parameters: a "csr-info"typeparameter, for what content should be in the certificate, andreturnsa "csr-format" parameter, for what CSR format to return. The action returns the CSR in the specified format. Both the "csr-info" and "csr"type, both of whichtypes are discussed in Section 2.1.3. * For an example, please see Section 2.2.2. 2.1.4.11. The "asymmetric-key-pair-with-cert-grouping" Grouping This section presents a tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrating the "asymmetric-key-pair-with-cert-grouping" grouping. This tree diagram does not expand the internally used "grouping" statement(s): grouping asymmetric-key-pair-with-cert-grouping: +---u asymmetric-key-pair-grouping +---u end-entity-cert-grouping +---u generate-csr-grouping Comments: * This grouping defines an asymmetric key with at most one associated certificate, a commonly needed combination in protocol models. * For the referenced "grouping" statement(s): - The "asymmetric-key-pair-grouping" grouping is discussed in Section 2.1.4.6. - The "end-entity-cert-grouping" grouping is discussed in Section 2.1.4.9. - The "generate-csr-grouping" grouping is discussed in Section 2.1.4.10. 2.1.4.12. The "asymmetric-key-pair-with-certs-grouping" Grouping This section presents a tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrating the "asymmetric-key-pair-with-certs-grouping" grouping. This tree diagram does not expand the internally used "grouping" statement(s): grouping asymmetric-key-pair-with-certs-grouping: +---u asymmetric-key-pair-grouping +-- certificates | +-- certificate* [name] | +--name?name string | +---u end-entity-cert-grouping +---u generate-csr-grouping Comments: * This grouping defines an asymmetric key with one or more associated certificates, a commonly needed combination in configuration models. * For the referenced "grouping" statement(s): - The "asymmetric-key-pair-grouping" grouping is discussed in Section 2.1.4.6. - The "end-entity-cert-grouping" grouping is discussed in Section 2.1.4.9. - The "generate-csr-grouping" grouping is discussed in Section 2.1.4.10. 2.1.5. Protocol-Accessible Nodes The "ietf-crypto-types" module does not contain any protocol- accessible nodes, but the module needs to be "implemented", as described in Section 5.6.5 of [RFC7950], in order for the identities in Section 2.1.2 to be defined. 2.2. Example Usage 2.2.1. The "symmetric-key-grouping", "asymmetric-key-pair-with-certs- grouping", and "password-grouping" Groupings The following non-normative module is constructed in order to illustrate the use of the "symmetric-key-grouping" (Section 2.1.4.3), the "asymmetric-key-pair-with-certs-grouping" (Section 2.1.4.12), and the "password-grouping" (Section 2.1.4.2) "grouping" statements. Notably, this example module and associated configuration data illustrates that a hidden private key (ex-hidden-asymmetric-key) has been used to encrypt a symmetric key (ex-encrypted-one-symmetric- based-symmetric-key) that has been used to encrypt another private key (ex-encrypted-rsa-based-asymmetric-key). Additionally, the symmetric key is also used to encrypt a password (ex-encrypted- password). 2.2.1.1.

Security Considerations 3.1. No Support for CRMF This document uses PKCS #10 [RFC2986] for the"generate-certificate- signing-request""generate-csr" action. The use of Certificate Request Message Format (CRMF) [RFC4211] was considered, but it was unclear if there was market demand for it. If it is desired to support CRMF in the future, a backwards compatible solution can be defined at that time. 3.2. No Support for Key Generation Early revisions of this document included "rpc" statements for generating symmetric and asymmetric keys. These statements were removed due to an inability to obtain consensus for how to generically identify the key algorithm to use. Hence, the solution presented in this document only supports keys to be configured via an external client. Separate protocol-specific modules can present protocol-specific key- generating RPCs (e.g., the"generate-public-key""generate-asymmetric-key-pair" RPC in [RFC9644] and [RFC9645]). 3.3. Unconstrained Public Key Usage This module defines the "public-key-grouping" grouping, which enables the configuration of public keys without constraints on their usage, e.g., what operations the key is allowed to be used for (e.g., encryption, verification, or both). The "asymmetric-key-pair-grouping" grouping uses the aforementioned "public-key-grouping" grouping and carries the same traits. The "asymmetric-key-pair-with-cert-grouping" grouping uses the aforementioned "asymmetric-key-pair-grouping" grouping, whereby associated certificates MUST constrain the usage of the public key according to local policy. 3.4. Unconstrained Private Key Usage This module defines the "asymmetric-key-pair-grouping" grouping, which enables the configuration of private keys without constraints on their usage, e.g., what operations the key is allowed to be used for (e.g., signature, decryption, or both). The "asymmetric-key-pair-with-cert-grouping" grouping uses the aforementioned "asymmetric-key-pair-grouping" grouping, whereby configured certificates (e.g., identity certificates) may constrain the use of the public key according to local policy. 3.5. Cleartext Passwords and Keys The module contained within this document enables, only when specific "feature" statements are enabled, for the cleartext value of passwords and keys to be stored in the configuration database. Storing cleartext values for passwords and keys is NOT RECOMMENDED. 3.6. Encrypting Passwords and Keys The module contained within this document enables cleartext passwords and keys to be encrypted via another key, either symmetric or asymmetric. Both formats use a CMS structure (EncryptedData and EnvelopedData, respectively), which allows any encryption algorithm to be used. To securely encrypt a password or key with a symmetric key, a proper block cipher mode, such as an Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data (AEAD) or Cipher Block Chaining (CBC), MUST be used. This ensures that a random Initialization Vector (IV) is part of the input, which guarantees that the output for encrypting the same password or key still produces a different unpredictable ciphertext. This avoids leaking that some encrypted keys or passwords are the same and makes it much harder to pre-generate rainbow tables to brute-force attack weak passwords. The Electronic Codebook (ECB) block cipher mode MUST NOT be used. 3.7. Deletion of Cleartext Key Values This module defines storage for cleartext key values that SHOULD be zeroized when deleted so as to prevent the remnants of their persisted storage locations from being analyzed in any meaningful way. The cleartext key values are the "cleartext-symmetric-key" node defined in the "symmetric-key-grouping" grouping (Section 2.1.4.3) and the "cleartext-private-key" node defined in the "asymmetric-key- pair-grouping" grouping (Section 2.1.4.6). 3.8. Considerations for the "ietf-crypto-types" YANG Module This sectionfollowsis modeled after the template defined in Section 3.7.1 of [RFC8407]. The "ietf-crypto-types" YANG modulein this documentdefines "grouping" statements that are 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) withSecure Shell (SSH) [RFC4252], TLS [RFC8446], and QUIC [RFC9000]) and mandatory-to-implement mutual authentication. The Network Configuration Access Control Model (NACM) [RFC8341] provides the means to restrict access for particular users to a preconfigured subset of all available protocol operations and content. Since the module in this document only defines groupings, these considerations are primarily for the designers of other modules that use these groupings. Some of the readable data nodes defined 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. The following subtrees and data nodes have particular sensitivity/vulnerability: * The "cleartext-password" node: The "cleartext-password" node defined in the "password- grouping" grouping is additionally sensitive to read operations such that, in normal use cases, it should never be returned to a client. For this reason, the NACM extension "default-deny- all" has been applied to it. * The "cleartext-symmetric-key" node: The "cleartext-symmetric-key" node defined in the "symmetric- key-grouping" grouping is additionally sensitive to read operations such that, in normal use cases, it should never be returned to a client. For this reason, the NACM extension "default-deny-all" has been applied to it. * The "cleartext-private-key" node: The "cleartext-private-key" node defined in the "asymmetric- key-pair-grouping" grouping is additionally sensitive to read operations such that, in normal use cases, it should never be returned to a client. For this reason, the NACM extension "default-deny-all" has been applied to it. * The "cert-data" node: The "cert-data" node defined in both the "trust-anchor-cert- grouping" and "end-entity-cert-grouping" groupings is additionally sensitive to read operations, as certificates may provide insight into which other resources/applications/servers this particular server communicates with, as well as potentially divulge personally identifying information (e.g., end-entity certificates). For this reason, the NACM extension "default-deny-all" has been applied to it. All the writable data nodes defined by all the groupings defined in this module may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. For instance, even the modification of a public key or a certificate can dramatically alter the implemented security policy. For this reason, the NACM extension "default-deny-write" has been applied to all the data nodes defined in the module. Some of the operations in this YANG module may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus important to control access to these operations. These are the operations and their sensitivity/vulnerability: *generate-certificate-signing-request:generate-csr: This "action" statement SHOULD only be executed by authorized users. For this reason, the NACM extension "default-deny-all" has been applied. Note that NACM uses "default-deny-all" to protect "rpc" and "action" statements; it does not define, e.g., an extension called "default-deny-execute". For this action, it is RECOMMENDED that implementations assert channel binding [RFC5056] so as to ensure that the application layer that sent the request is the same as the device authenticated when the secure transport layer was established. 4. IANA Considerations 4.1. The IETF XML Registry IANA has registered the following URI in the "ns" registry of the "IETF XML Registry" [RFC3688]. URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-crypto-types Registrant Contact: The IESG XML: N/A; the requested URI is an XML namespace. 4.2. The YANG Module Names Registry IANA has registered the following YANG module in the "YANG Module Names" registry [RFC6020]. Name: ietf-crypto-types Namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-crypto-types Prefix: ct Reference: RFC 9640 5. References 5.1.
