Introduction This document presents three IETF-defined YANG modules [RFC7950] and a script used to create four supporting IANA modules. The three IETF modules are ietf-ssh-common (Section 2), ietf-ssh- client (Section 3), and ietf-ssh-server (Section 4). The "ietf-ssh- client" and "ietf-ssh-server" modules are the primary productions of this work, supporting the configuration and monitoring of SSH clients and servers. The groupings defined in this document are expected to be used in conjunction with the groupings defined in an underlying transport- level module, such as the groupings defined in [RFC9643]. The transport-level data model enables the configuration of transport- level values, such as a remote address, a remote port, a local address, and a local port. The four IANA modules are: iana-ssh-encryption-algs, iana-ssh-key- exchange-algs, iana-ssh-mac-algs, and iana-ssh-public-key-algs. These modules each define YANG enumerations providing support for an IANA-maintained algorithm registry. This document assumes that the four IANA modules exist and presents a script in Appendix A that IANA may use to generate those YANG modules. This document does not publish the initial versions of these four modules. IANA publishes these modules. 1.1. Regarding the Three IETF Modules The three IETF modules define features and groupings to model "generic" SSH clients and SSH servers, where "generic" should be interpreted as "least common denominator" rather than "complete." Support for the basic SSH protocol [RFC4252] [RFC4253] [RFC4254] is afforded by these modules, leaving configuration of advanced features (e.g., multiple channels) to augmentations made by consuming modules. It is intended that the YANG groupings will be used by applications needing to configure SSH client and server protocol stacks. For instance, these groupings are used to help define the data models in [NETCONF-CLIENT-SERVER], for clients and servers using the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) over SSH [RFC6242]. The "ietf-ssh-client" and "ietf-ssh-server" YANG modules each define one grouping, which is focused on just SSH-specific configuration, and specifically avoid any transport-level configuration, such as what ports to listen on or connect to. This affords applications the opportunity to define their own strategy for how the underlying TCP connection is established. For instance, applications supporting NETCONF Call Home [RFC8071] could use the "ssh-server-grouping" grouping for the SSH parts it provides while adding data nodes for the TCP-level call-home configuration. The modules defined in this document optionally support [RFC6187], which describes enabling host keys and public keys based on X.509v3 certificates. 1.2. Relation to Other RFCs This document presents three YANG modules [RFC7950] that are part of a collection of RFCs that work together to ultimately support the configuration of both the clients and servers of both the NETCONF [RFC6241] and RESTCONF [RFC8040] protocols. 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 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 | [RFC9640] | +------------------------+--------------------------+ | 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: Label in Diagram to RFC Mapping 1.3. 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. 1.4. Adherence to the NMDA This document is compliant with the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) [RFC8342]. For instance, as described in [RFC9641] and [RFC9642], trust anchors and keys installed during manufacturing are expected to appear in (Section 5.3 of [RFC8342]) and [SYSTEM-CONFIG] if implemented. 1.5. 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-ssh-common" Module The SSH common model presented in this section is common to both SSH clients and SSH servers. The "transport-params-grouping" grouping can be used to configure the list of SSH transport algorithms permitted by the SSH client or SSH server. The lists of permitted algorithms are in decreasing order of usage preference. The algorithm that appears first in the client list that also appears in the server list is the one that is used for the SSH transport layer connection. The ability to restrict the algorithms allowed is provided in this grouping for SSH clients and SSH servers that are capable of doing so and may serve to make SSH clients and SSH servers compliant with security policies. 2.1. Data Model Overview This section provides an overview of the "ietf-ssh-common" module in terms of its features, identities, groupings, and protocol-accessible nodes. 2.1.1. Features The following diagram lists all the "feature" statements defined in the "ietf-ssh-common" module: Features: +-- ssh-x509-certs +-- transport-params +-- asymmetric-key-pair-generation +-- algorithm-discovery The diagram above uses syntax that is similar to but not defined in [RFC8340]. Please refer to the YANG module for a description of each feature. 2.1.2. Groupings The "ietf-ssh-common" module defines the following "grouping" statement: * transport-params-grouping This grouping is presented in the following subsection. 2.1.2.1. The "transport-params-grouping" Grouping The following tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrates the "transport- params-grouping" grouping: grouping transport-params-grouping: +-- host-key | +-- host-key-alg* ssh-public-key-algorithm +-- key-exchange | +-- key-exchange-alg* ssh-key-exchange-algorithm +-- encryption | +-- encryption-alg* ssh-encryption-algorithm +-- mac +-- mac-alg* ssh-mac-algorithm Comments: * This grouping is used by both the "ssh-client-grouping" and the "ssh-server-grouping" groupings defined in Sections 3.1.2.1 and 4.1.2.1, respectively. * This grouping enables client and server configurations to specify the algorithms that are to be used when establishing SSH sessions. * Each list is "ordered-by user". 2.1.3. Protocol-Accessible Nodes The following tree diagram [RFC8340] lists all the protocol- accessible nodes defined in the "ietf-ssh-common" module without expanding the "grouping" statements: module: ietf-ssh-common +--ro supported-algorithms {algorithm-discovery}? +--ro public-key-algorithms | +--ro supported-algorithm* ssh-public-key-algorithm +--ro encryption-algorithms | +--ro supported-algorithm* ssh-encryption-algorithm +--ro key-exchange-algorithms | +--ro supported-algorithm* ssh-key-exchange-algorithm +--ro mac-algorithms +--ro supported-algorithm* ssh-mac-algorithm rpcs: +---x generate-asymmetric-key-pair {asymmetric-key-pair-generation}? +---w input | +---w algorithm ssh-public-key-algorithm | +---w num-bits? uint16 | +---w private-key-encoding | +---w (private-key-encoding) | +--:(cleartext) {ct:cleartext-private-keys}? | | +---w cleartext? empty | +--:(encrypted) {ct:encrypted-private-keys}? | | +---w encrypted | | +---w ks:encrypted-by-grouping | +--:(hidden) {ct:hidden-private-keys}? | +---w hidden? empty +--ro output +--ro (key-or-hidden)? +--:(key) | +---u ct:asymmetric-key-pair-grouping +--:(hidden) +--ro location? instance-identifier Comments: * Protocol-accessible nodes are those nodes that are accessible when the module is "implemented", as described in Section 5.6.5 of [RFC7950]. * The protocol-accessible nodes for the "ietf-ssh-common" module are limited to the "supported-algorithms" container, which is constrained by the "algorithm-discovery" feature, and the "generate-asymmetric-key-pair" RPC, which is constrained by the "asymmetric-key-pair-generation" feature. * The "encrypted-by-grouping" grouping is discussed in Section 2.1.3.1 of [RFC9642]. * The "asymmetric-key-pair-grouping" grouping is discussed in Section 2.1.4.6 of [RFC9640]. 2.2.

The "ietf-ssh-client" Module This section defines a YANG 1.1 [RFC7950] module called "ietf-ssh- client". A high-level overview of the module is provided in Section 3.1. Examples illustrating the module's use are provided in Section 3.2 ("Example Usage"). The YANG module itself is defined in Section 3.3. 3.1. Data Model Overview This section provides an overview of the "ietf-ssh-client" module in terms of its features and groupings. 3.1.1. Features The following diagram lists all the "feature" statements defined in the "ietf-ssh-client" module: Features: +-- ssh-client-keepalives +-- client-ident-password +-- client-ident-publickey +-- client-ident-hostbased +-- client-ident-none The diagram above uses syntax that is similar to but not defined in [RFC8340]. Please refer to the YANG module for a description of each feature. 3.1.2. Groupings The "ietf-ssh-client" module defines the following "grouping" statement: * ssh-client-grouping This grouping is presented in the following subsection. 3.1.2.1. The "ssh-client-grouping" Grouping The following tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrates the "ssh-client- grouping" grouping: =============== NOTE: '\' line wrapping per RFC 8792 ================ grouping ssh-client-grouping: +-- client-identity | +-- username? string | +-- public-key! {client-ident-publickey}? | | +---u ks:inline-or-keystore-asymmetric-key-grouping | +-- password! {client-ident-password}? | | +---u ct:password-grouping | +-- hostbased! {client-ident-hostbased}? | | +---u ks:inline-or-keystore-asymmetric-key-grouping | +-- none? empty {client-ident-none}? | +-- certificate! {sshcmn:ssh-x509-certs}? | +---u ks:inline-or-keystore-end-entity-cert-with-key-group\ ing +-- server-authentication | +-- ssh-host-keys! | | +---u ts:inline-or-truststore-public-keys-grouping | +-- ca-certs! {sshcmn:ssh-x509-certs}? | | +---u ts:inline-or-truststore-certs-grouping | +-- ee-certs! {sshcmn:ssh-x509-certs}? | +---u ts:inline-or-truststore-certs-grouping +-- transport-params {sshcmn:transport-params}? | +---u sshcmn:transport-params-grouping +-- keepalives! {ssh-client-keepalives}? +-- max-wait? uint16 +-- max-attempts? uint8 Comments: * The "client-identity" node configures a "username" and authentication methods, each enabled by a "feature" statement defined in Section 3.1.1. * The "server-authentication" node configures trust anchors for authenticating the SSH server, with each option enabled by a "feature" statement. * The "transport-params" node, which must be enabled by a feature, configures parameters for the SSH sessions established by this configuration. * The "keepalives" node, which must be enabled by a feature, configures a "presence" container for testing the aliveness of the SSH server. The aliveness-test occurs at the SSH protocol layer. * For the referenced grouping statements: - The "inline-or-keystore-asymmetric-key-grouping" grouping is discussed in Section 2.1.3.4 of [RFC9642]. - The "inline-or-keystore-end-entity-cert-with-key-grouping" grouping is discussed in Section 2.1.3.6 of [RFC9642]. - The "inline-or-truststore-public-keys-grouping" grouping is discussed in Section 2.1.3.4 of [RFC9641]. - The "inline-or-truststore-certs-grouping" grouping is discussed in Section 2.1.3.3 of [RFC9641]. - The "transport-params-grouping" grouping is discussed in Section 2.1.2.1 in this document. 3.1.3. Protocol-Accessible Nodes The "ietf-ssh-client" module defines only "grouping" statements that are used by other modules to instantiate protocol-accessible nodes. Thus, this module, when implemented, does not itself define any protocol-accessible nodes. 3.2. Example Usage This section presents two examples showing the "ssh-client-grouping" grouping populated with some data. These examples are effectively the same, except the first configures the client identity using an inlined key, while the second uses a key configured in a keystore. Both examples are consistent with the examples presented in Section 2.2.1 of [RFC9641] and Section 2.2.1 of [RFC9642]. The following configuration example uses inline-definitions for the client identity and server authentication: =============== NOTE: '\' line wrapping per RFC 8792 ================ foobar ct:rsa-private-key-format BASE64VALUE= corp-fw1 ct:ssh-public-key-format BASE64VALUE= corp-fw2 ct:ssh-public-key-format BASE64VALUE= Server Cert Issuer #1 BASE64VALUE= Server Cert Issuer #2 BASE64VALUE= My Application #1 BASE64VALUE= My Application #2 BASE64VALUE= 30 3 The following configuration example uses central-keystore-references for the client identity and central-truststore-references for server authentication from the keystore: =============== NOTE: '\' line wrapping per RFC 8792 ================ foobar ssh-rsa-key ssh-rsa-key-with-cert ex-rsa-cert2 trusted-ssh-public-keys trusted-server-ca-certs trusted-server-ee-certs 30 3 3.3.

The "ietf-ssh-server" Module This section defines a YANG 1.1 module called "ietf-ssh-server". A high-level overview of the module is provided in Section 4.1. Examples illustrating the module's use are provided in Section 4.2 ("Example Usage"). The YANG module itself is defined in Section 4.3. 4.1. Data Model Overview This section provides an overview of the "ietf-ssh-server" module in terms of its features and groupings. 4.1.1. Features The following diagram lists all the "feature" statements defined in the "ietf-ssh-server" module: Features: +-- ssh-server-keepalives +-- local-users-supported +-- local-user-auth-publickey {local-users-supported}? +-- local-user-auth-password {local-users-supported}? +-- local-user-auth-hostbased {local-users-supported}? +-- local-user-auth-none {local-users-supported}? The diagram above uses syntax that is similar to but not defined in [RFC8340]. Please refer to the YANG module for a description of each feature. 4.1.2. Groupings The "ietf-ssh-server" module defines the following "grouping" statement: * ssh-server-grouping This grouping is presented in the following subsection. 4.1.2.1. The "ssh-server-grouping" Grouping The following tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrates the "ssh-server- grouping" grouping: =============== NOTE: '\' line wrapping per RFC 8792 ================ grouping ssh-server-grouping: +-- server-identity | +-- host-key* [name] | +-- name string | +-- (host-key-type) | +--:(public-key) | | +-- public-key | | +---u ks:inline-or-keystore-asymmetric-key-groupi\ ng | +--:(certificate) | +-- certificate {sshcmn:ssh-x509-certs}? | +---u ks:inline-or-keystore-end-entity-cert-with-\ key-grouping +-- client-authentication | +-- users {local-users-supported}? | | +-- user* [name] | | +-- name string | | +-- public-keys! {local-user-auth-publickey}? | | | +---u ts:inline-or-truststore-public-keys-grouping | | +-- password | | | +-- hashed-password? ianach:crypt-hash | | | | {local-user-auth-password}? | | | +--ro last-modified? yang:date-and-time | | +-- hostbased! {local-user-auth-hostbased}? | | | +---u ts:inline-or-truststore-public-keys-grouping | | +-- none? empty {local-user-auth-none}? | +-- ca-certs! {sshcmn:ssh-x509-certs}? | | +---u ts:inline-or-truststore-certs-grouping | +-- ee-certs! {sshcmn:ssh-x509-certs}? | +---u ts:inline-or-truststore-certs-grouping +-- transport-params {sshcmn:transport-params}? | +---u sshcmn:transport-params-grouping +-- keepalives! {ssh-server-keepalives}? +-- max-wait? uint16 +-- max-attempts? uint8 Comments: * The "server-identity" node configures the authentication methods the server can use to identify itself to clients. The ability to use a certificate is enabled by a "feature". * The "client-authentication" node configures trust anchors for authenticating the SSH client, with each option enabled by a "feature" statement. * The "transport-params" node, which must be enabled by a feature, configures parameters for the SSH sessions established by this configuration. * The "keepalives" node, which must be enabled by a feature, configures a "presence" container for testing the aliveness of the SSH client. The aliveness-test occurs at the SSH protocol layer. * For the referenced grouping statements: - The "inline-or-keystore-asymmetric-key-grouping" grouping is discussed in Section 2.1.3.4 of [RFC9642]. - The "inline-or-keystore-end-entity-cert-with-key-grouping" grouping is discussed in Section 2.1.3.6 of [RFC9642]. - The "inline-or-truststore-public-keys-grouping" grouping is discussed in Section 2.1.3.4 of [RFC9641]. - The "inline-or-truststore-certs-grouping" grouping is discussed in Section 2.1.3.3 of [RFC9641]. - The "transport-params-grouping" grouping is discussed in Section 2.1.2.1 in this document. 4.1.3. Protocol-Accessible Nodes The "ietf-ssh-server" module defines only "grouping" statements that are used by other modules to instantiate protocol-accessible nodes. Thus, this module, when implemented, does not itself define any protocol-accessible nodes. 4.2. Example Usage This section presents two examples showing the "ssh-server-grouping" grouping populated with some data. These examples are effectively the same, except the first configures the server identity using an inlined key, while the second uses a key configured in a keystore. Both examples are consistent with the examples presented in Section 2.2.1 of [RFC9641] and Section 2.2.1 of [RFC9642].

Security Considerations The three IETF YANG modules in this document define groupings and will not be deployed as standalone modules. Their security implications may be context-dependent based on their use in other modules. The designers of modules that import these groupings must conduct their own analysis of the security considerations. 5.1. Considerations for the "iana-ssh-key-exchange-algs" Module This section is modeled after the template defined in Section 3.7.1 of [RFC8407]. The "iana-ssh-key-exchange-algs" YANG module defines a data model that is designed to be accessed via YANG-based management protocols, such as NETCONF [RFC6241] and RESTCONF [RFC8040]. These protocols have mandatory-to-implement secure transport layers (e.g., Secure 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. This YANG module defines YANG enumerations for a public IANA- maintained registry. YANG enumerations are not security-sensitive, as they are statically defined in the publicly accessible YANG module. IANA MAY deprecate and/or obsolete enumerations over time as needed to address security issues found in the algorithms. This module does not define any writable nodes, RPCs, actions, or notifications, and thus, the security considerations for such are not provided here. 5.2. Considerations for the "iana-ssh-encryption-algs" Module This section is modeled after the template defined in Section 3.7.1 of [RFC8407]. The "iana-ssh-encryption-algs" YANG module defines a data model that is designed to be accessed via YANG-based management protocols, such as NETCONF [RFC6241] and RESTCONF [RFC8040]. These protocols have mandatory-to-implement secure transport layers (e.g., Secure 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. This YANG module defines YANG enumerations for a public IANA- maintained registry. YANG enumerations are not security-sensitive, as they are statically defined in the publicly accessible YANG module. This module does not define any writable nodes, RPCs, actions, or notifications, and thus, the security considerations for such are not provided here. 5.3. Considerations for the "iana-ssh-mac-algs" Module This section is modeled after the template defined in Section 3.7.1 of [RFC8407]. The "iana-ssh-mac-algs" YANG module defines a data model that is designed to be accessed via YANG-based management protocols, such as NETCONF [RFC6241] and RESTCONF [RFC8040]. These protocols have mandatory-to-implement secure transport layers (e.g., Secure 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. This YANG module defines YANG enumerations for a public IANA- maintained registry. YANG enumerations are not security-sensitive, as they are statically defined in the publicly accessible YANG module. This module does not define any writable nodes, RPCs, actions, or notifications, and thus, the security considerations for such are not provided here. 5.4. Considerations for the "iana-ssh-public-key-algs" Module This section is modeled after the template defined in Section 3.7.1 of [RFC8407]. The "iana-ssh-public-key-algs" YANG module defines a data model that is designed to be accessed via YANG-based management protocols, such as NETCONF [RFC6241] and RESTCONF [RFC8040]. These protocols have mandatory-to-implement secure transport layers (e.g., Secure 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. This YANG module defines YANG enumerations for a public IANA- maintained registry. YANG enumerations are not security-sensitive, as they are statically defined in the publicly accessible YANG module. This module does not define any writable nodes, RPCs, actions, or notifications, and thus, the security considerations for such are not provided here. 5.5. Considerations for the "ietf-ssh-common" YANG Module This section is modeled after the template defined in Section 3.7.1 of [RFC8407]. The "ietf-ssh-common" YANG module defines a data model that is designed to be accessed via YANG-based management protocols, such as NETCONF [RFC6241] and RESTCONF [RFC8040]. These protocols have mandatory-to-implement secure transport layers (e.g., Secure 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. Please be aware that this YANG module uses groupings from other YANG modules that define nodes that may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in network environments. Please review the security considerations for dependent YANG modules for information as to which nodes may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in network environments. None of the readable data nodes defined in this YANG module are considered sensitive or vulnerable in network environments. The NACM "default-deny-all" extension has not been set for any data nodes defined in this module. None of the writable data nodes defined in this YANG module are considered sensitive or vulnerable in network environments. The NACM "default-deny-write" extension has not been set for any data nodes defined in this module. This module defines the "generate-asymmetric-key-pair" RPC, which may, if the "ct:cleartext-private-keys" feature is enabled and the client requests it, return the private clear in cleartext form. It is NOT RECOMMENDED for private keys to pass the server's security perimeter. This module does not define any actions or notifications, and thus, the security considerations for such are not provided here. 5.6. Considerations for the "ietf-ssh-client" YANG Module This section is modeled after the template defined in Section 3.7.1 of [RFC8407]. The "ietf-ssh-client" YANG module defines "grouping" statements that are designed to be accessed via YANG-based management protocols, such as NETCONF [RFC6241] and RESTCONF [RFC8040]. These protocols have mandatory-to-implement secure transport layers (e.g., Secure 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. Please be aware that this YANG module uses groupings from other YANG modules that define nodes that may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in network environments. Please review the security considerations for dependent YANG modules for information as to which nodes may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in network environments. One readable data node defined in this YANG module may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. This node is as follows: * The "client-identity/password" node: The cleartext "password" node defined in the "ssh-client- 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. All the writable data nodes defined by this module may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. For instance, any modification to a key or reference to a key may dramatically alter the implemented security policy. For this reason, the NACM extension "default-deny-write" has been set for all data nodes defined in this module. This module does not define any RPCs, actions, or notifications, and thus, the security considerations for such are not provided here. 5.7. Considerations for the "ietf-ssh-server" YANG Module This section is modeled after the template defined in Section 3.7.1 of [RFC8407]. The "ietf-ssh-server" YANG module defines "grouping" statements that are designed to be accessed via YANG-based management protocols, such as NETCONF [RFC6241] and RESTCONF [RFC8040]. These protocols have mandatory-to-implement secure transport layers (e.g., Secure 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. Please be aware that this YANG module uses groupings from other YANG modules that define nodes that may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in network environments. Please review the security considerations for dependent YANG modules for information as to which nodes may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in network environments. None of the readable data nodes defined in this YANG module are considered sensitive or vulnerable in network environments. The NACM "default-deny-all" extension has not been set for any data nodes defined in this module. All the writable data nodes defined by this module may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. For instance, the addition or removal of references to keys, certificates, trusted anchors, etc., or even the modification of transport or keepalive parameters can dramatically alter the implemented security policy. For this reason, the NACM extension "default-deny-write" has been set for all data nodes defined in this module. This module does not define any RPCs, actions, or notifications, and thus, the security considerations for such are not provided here. 6. IANA Considerations 6.1. The IETF XML Registry IANA has registered seven URIs in the "ns" registry of the "IETF XML Registry" [RFC3688] as follows. URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:iana-ssh-key-exchange-algs Registrant Contact: The IESG XML: N/A; the requested URI is an XML namespace. URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:iana-ssh-encryption-algs Registrant Contact: The IESG XML: N/A; the requested URI is an XML namespace.

URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-ssh-server Registrant Contact: The IESG XML: N/A; the requested URI is an XML namespace. 6.2. The YANG Module Names Registry IANA has registered seven YANG modules in the "YANG Module Names" registry [RFC6020] as follows. Name: iana-ssh-key-exchange-algs Namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:iana-ssh-key-exchange-algs Prefix: sshkea Reference: RFC 9644 Name: iana-ssh-encryption-algs Namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:iana-ssh-encryption-algs Prefix: sshea Reference: RFC 9644 Name: iana-ssh-mac-algs Namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:iana-ssh-mac-algs Prefix: sshma Reference: RFC 9644 Name: iana-ssh-public-key-algs Namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:iana-ssh-public-key-algs Prefix: sshpka Reference: RFC 9644 Name: ietf-ssh-common Namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-ssh-common Prefix: sshcmn Reference: RFC 9644 Name: ietf-ssh-client Namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-ssh-client Prefix: sshc Reference: RFC 9644 Name: ietf-ssh-server Namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-ssh-server Prefix: sshs Reference: RFC 9644 6.3. Considerations for the "iana-ssh-encryption-algs" Module This section follows the template defined in Section 4.30.3.1 of [YANG-GUIDE]. This document presents a script (see Appendix A) for IANA to use to generate the IANA-maintained "iana-ssh-encryption-algs" YANG module. The most recent version of the YANG module is available in the "YANG Parameters" registry group [IANA-YANG-PARAMETERS]. IANA has added the following note to the registry: | New values must not be directly added to the "iana-ssh-encryption- | algs" YANG module. They must instead be added to the "Encryption | Algorithm Names" registry of the "Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol | Parameters" registry group [IANA-ENC-ALGS]. When a value is added to the "Encryption Algorithm Names" registry, a new "enum" statement must be added to the "iana-ssh-encryption-algs" YANG module. The "enum" statement, and substatements thereof, should be defined as follows: enum Replicates a name from the registry. value Contains the decimal value of the IANA-assigned value. status Include only if a registration has been deprecated or obsoleted. An IANA "Note" containing the word "HISTORIC" maps to YANG status "obsolete". Since the registry is unable to express a "SHOULD NOT" recommendation, there is no mapping to YANG status "deprecated". description Contains "Enumeration for the 'foo-bar' algorithm.", where "foo- bar" is a placeholder for the algorithm's name (e.g., "3des-cbc"). reference Replicates the reference(s) from the registry with the title of the document(s) added. Unassigned or reserved values are not present in the module. When the "iana-ssh-encryption-algs" YANG module is updated, a new "revision" statement with a unique revision date must be added in front of the existing revision statements. The "revision" must have a "description" statement explaining why the update occurred and must have a "reference" substatement that points to the document defining the registry update that resulted in this change. For instance: revision 2024-02-02 { description "This update reflects the update made to the underlying Foo Bar registry per RFC XXXX."; reference "RFC XXXX: Extend the Foo Bars Registry to Support Something Important"; } IANA has added the following note to the "Encryption Algorithm Names" registry. | When this registry is modified, the YANG module "iana-ssh- | encryption-algs" [IANA-YANG-PARAMETERS] must be updated as defined | in RFC 9644. 6.4. Considerations for the "iana-ssh-mac-algs" Module This section follows the template defined in Section 4.30.3.1 of [YANG-GUIDE]. This document presents a script (see Appendix A) for IANA to use to generate the IANA-maintained "iana-ssh-mac-algs" YANG module. The most recent version of the YANG module is available in the "YANG Parameters" registry group [IANA-YANG-PARAMETERS]. IANA has added the following note to the registry: | New values must not be directly added to the "iana-ssh-mac-algs" | YANG module. They must instead be added to the "MAC Algorithm | Names" registry of the "Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol Parameters" | registry group [IANA-MAC-ALGS]. When a value is added to the "MAC Algorithm Names" registry, a new "enum" statement must be added to the "iana-ssh-mac-algs" YANG module. The "enum" statement, and substatements thereof, should be defined as follows: enum Replicates a name from the registry. value Contains the decimal value of the IANA-assigned value. status Include only if a registration has been deprecated or obsoleted. description Contains "Enumeration for the 'foo-bar' algorithm.", where "foo- bar" is a placeholder for the algorithm's name (e.g., "3des-cbc"). reference Replicates the reference(s) from the registry with the title of the document(s) added. Unassigned or reserved values are not present in the module. When the "iana-ssh-mac-algs" YANG module is updated, a new "revision" statement with a unique revision date must be added in front of the existing revision statements. The "revision" must have a "description" statement explaining why the update occurred and must have a "reference" substatement that points to the document defining the registry update that resulted in this change. For instance: revision 2024-02-02 { description "This update reflects the update made to the underlying Foo Bar registry per RFC XXXX."; reference "RFC XXXX: Extend the Foo Bars Registry to Support Something Important"; } IANA has added the following note to the "MAC Algorithm Names" registry. | When this registry is modified, the YANG module "iana-ssh-mac- | algs" [IANA-YANG-PARAMETERS] must be updated as defined in RFC | 9644. 6.5. Considerations for the "iana-ssh-public-key-algs" Module This section follows the template defined in Section 4.30.3.1 of [YANG-GUIDE]. This document presents a script (see Appendix A) for IANA to use to generate the IANA-maintained "iana-ssh-public-key-algs" YANG module. The most recent version of the YANG module is available in the "YANG Parameters" registry group [IANA-YANG-PARAMETERS]. IANA has added the following note to the registry: | New values must not be directly added to the "iana-ssh-public-key- | algs" YANG module. They must instead be added to the "Public Key | Algorithm Names" registry of the "Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol | Parameters" registry group [IANA-PUBKEY-ALGS]. When a value is added to the "Public Key Algorithm Names" registry, a new "enum" statement must be added to the "iana-ssh-public-key-algs" YANG module. The "enum" statement, and substatements thereof, should be defined as follows: enum Replicates a name from the registry. value Contains the decimal value of the IANA-assigned value. status Include only if a registration has been deprecated or obsoleted. description Contains "Enumeration for the 'foo-bar' algorithm.", where "foo- bar" is a placeholder for the algorithm's name (e.g., "3des-cbc"). reference Replicates the reference(s) from the registry with the title of the document(s) added. In the case that the algorithm name ends with "-*", the family of enumerations must be added. The family of enum algorithm names are generated by replacing the "*" character with these strings: "nistp256", "nistp384", "nistp521", "1.3.132.0.1", "1.2.840.10045.3.1.1", "1.3.132.0.33", "1.3.132.0.26", "1.3.132.0.27", "1.3.132.0.16", "1.3.132.0.36", "1.3.132.0.37", and "1.3.132.0.38". Unassigned or reserved values are not present in the module. When the "iana-ssh-public-key-algs" YANG module is updated, a new "revision" statement with a unique revision date must be added in front of the existing revision statements.

When a value is added to the "Key Exchange Method Names" registry, a new "enum" statement must be added to the "iana-ssh-key-exchange- algs" YANG module. The "enum" statement, and substatements thereof, should be defined as follows: enum Replicates a name from the registry. value Contains the decimal value of the IANA-assigned value. status Include only if a registration has been deprecated or obsoleted.

Script to Generate IANA-Maintained YANG Modules This section is not normative. The Python script contained in this section will create the four IANA-maintained modules that are described (but not contained) in this document. Run the script using the command "python gen-yang-modules.py" to produce four YANG module files in the current directory. Be aware that the script does not attempt to copy the "revision" statements from the previous/current YANG module. Copying the revision statements must be done manually. =============== NOTE: '\' line wrapping per RFC 8792 ================ import re import csv import textwrap import requests import requests_cache from io import StringIO from datetime import datetime # Metadata for the four YANG modules produced by this script MODULES = [ { "csv_url": "https://www.iana.org/assignments/ssh-parameters/\ ssh-parameters-17.csv", "spaced_name": "encryption", "hypenated_name": "encryption", "prefix": "sshea", "description": """ "This module defines enumerations for \ the encryption algorithms defined in the 'Encryption Algorithm Names' registry of the 'Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol Parameters' registry group maintained by IANA.""", }, { "csv_url": "https://www.iana.org/assignments/ssh-parameters/\ ssh-parameters-19.csv", "spaced_name": "public key", "hypenated_name": "public-key", "prefix": "sshpka", "description": """ "This module defines enumerations for \ the public key algorithms defined in the 'Public Key Algorithm Names' registry of the 'Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol Parameters' registry group maintained by IANA.""" }, { "csv_url": "https://www.iana.org/assignments/ssh-parameters/\ ssh-parameters-18.csv", "spaced_name": "mac", "hypenated_name": "mac", "prefix": "sshma", "description": """ "This module defines enumerations for \ the MAC algorithms defined in the 'MAC Algorithm Names' registry of the 'Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol Parameters' registry group maintained by IANA.""" }, { "csv_url": "https://www.iana.org/assignments/ssh-parameters/\ ssh-parameters-16.csv", "spaced_name": "key exchange", "hypenated_name": "key-exchange", "prefix": "sshkea", "description": """ "This module defines enumerations for \ the key exchange algorithms defined in the 'Key Exchange Method Names' registry of the 'Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol Parameters' registry group maintained by IANA.""" }, ] def create_module_begin(module, f): # Define template for all four modules PREAMBLE_TEMPLATE=""" module iana-ssh-HNAME-algs { yang-version 1.1; namespace "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:iana-ssh-HNAME-algs"; prefix PREFIX; organization "Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA)"; contact "Postal: ICANN 12025 Waterfront Drive, Suite 300 Los Angeles, CA 90094-2536 United States of America Tel: +1 310 301 5800 Email: iana@iana.org"; description DESCRIPTION Copyright (c) YEAR IETF Trust and the persons identified as authors of the code.
