Wes and all,

Please find the agenda that Ken and I discussed at

<ftp://ftp.netlab.nec.de/pub/isms_ietf61_agenda.txt>

Of course, suggestions for changes are welcome and can be discussed
at the beginning of our session.

Then we can also discuss if we want to talk about the decision
process before we hear the presentations on the three proposals
or after them.  I think it is better to discuss the process first.
This gives the proposers a chance to address some decision process-
related issues in their presentations that are not addressed by the
respective I-Ds.

We have not yet received a presentation of TSLM.  Therefore, the
agenda has a 30 minutes time slot for this model.  For the other
two models, just updates in 15 minutes time slot should be sufficient.

Thanks,

    Juergen

Is there a written proposal for the evaluation process/guidelines? 
That would probably be helpful, although other WGs have learned that
it is difficult to write evaluation "requirements" that are unbiased.

Hi,

I will post an updated revision of the TLSM proposal to the list by
Wednesday. I have done a substantial amount of work on the proposal.
I recommend people don't bother to read the current TLSM proposal,
because it is extremely preliminary and incomplete.

Wes and all,

Please find the agenda that Ken and I discussed at

<ftp://ftp.netlab.nec.de/pub/isms_ietf61_agenda.txt>

Of course, suggestions for changes are welcome and can be discussed at
the beginning of our session.

Then we can also discuss if we want to talk about the decision process
before we hear the presentations on the three proposals or after them.
I think it is better to discuss the process first.
This gives the proposers a chance to address some decision process-
related issues in their presentations that are not addressed by the
respective I-Ds.

We have not yet received a presentation of TSLM.  Therefore, the
agenda has a 30 minutes time slot for this model.  For the other two
models, just updates in 15 minutes time slot should be sufficient.

Thanks,

    Juergen

Dear all,

Ken and I are still looking for volunteers for the evaluation team.

Potential team members should have a strong background in existing
security frameworks and/or in SNMP.  They are expected to join the
IETF #61 ISMS session on Monday and an evaluation team meeting some
time during the IETF meeting.

After the IETF meeting there might be a few phone conferences necessary
until the team comes to a decision before November 29th. Ken and I will
moderate the team meeting and phone conferences and take minutes.

One or more team members should edit and I-D that explains the decision
and that (ideally) should be submitted before Christmas.

So if you would like to help us finding the best of the three proposals,
please contact Ken and me (and please have the three I-Ds read before
the ISMS session ;-).

Thanks,

    Juergen

Internet-Draft    SNMPv3 Transport Mapping Security Model   October 2004


1.  Introduction

   There are multiple ways to secure one's home or business, but they
   largely boil down to a continuum of alternatives.  Let's consider
   three general approaches.  In the first approach, an individual/
   company could buy a gun, learn to use it, and sit on your front porch
   waiting for intruders.  In the second approach, one could hire an
   employee with a gun, schedule the employee, position the employee to
   guard what you want protected, hire a second guard to cover if the
   first gets sick, and so on.  In the third approach, you could hire a
   security company, tell them what you want protected, and they could
   hire employeess, train them, buy the guns, position the guards,
   schedule the guards, send a replacemnt when a guard cannot make it,
   etc., thus providing the security you want, with no significant
   effort on your part other than identifying requirements and verifying
   the quality of the service being provided.

   The User-based Security Model (USM) as defined in [RFC3414] largely
   uses the first approach - it provides its own security.  It utiilizes
   existing mechanisms (MD5=3Dthe gun), but provides all the =
coordination.
   USM provides for the authentication of a principal, message
   encryption, data integrity checking, timeliness checking, etc.

   USM was designed to be independent of other existing	security
   infrastructures.  USM therefore requires a separate user and key
   management infrastructure.  Operators have reported that deploying
   another user and key management infrastructure in order to use SNMPv3
   is a reason for not 	deploying SNMPv3 at this point in time.  It is
   possible but difficult to define external mechanisms that handle the
   distribution of keys for use by the USM approach.

   A solution based on the second approach might use a USM-compliant
   architecture, but replace the authentication mechanism with an
   external mechanism, such as RADIUS, to provide the authentication
   service.  It might be possible to utilize an externa protocol to
   encrypt a message, to check timeliness, to check data integrity, etc.
   It is difficult to cobble together a number of sub-cintracted
   services and coordinate them however, because it is difficult to
   build solid security bindings between the various services, and
   potential for gaps in the security is significant.

   A solution based on the third approach might utilize one or more
   lower-layer security mechanisms to provide the message-oriented
   security services required.  These would include authentication of
   the sender, encryption, timeliness checking, and data integrity
   checking.  There are a number of IETF standards available or in
   development to address these problems at lower layers, frequently at
   the transport layer.  A solution based on this approach mght also

   utilize a "transport" that is actually another application operating
   at the application layer, such as SSH [SSHauth]

   This document proposes a Transport Mapping Security Model (TMSM), as
   an extension of the SNMPv3 architecture, that would allow security to
   be provided an external protocol connected to the SNMP engine through
   an SNMP transport-mapping.  Such a TMSM would then enable the use of
   existing security mechanisms such as (TLS) [RFC2246], Kerberos
   [RFC1510] or SASL [RFC2222] within the SNMPv3 architecture.

   As pointed out in the EUSM proposal [EUSM], it is desirable to use
   mechanisms that could "unify the approach for administrative security
   for SNMPv3 and CLI" and other management interfaces.  The use of
   security services provided by lower layers or other applications is
   the approach commonly used for the CLI, and is the approach being
   proposed for NETCONF

   This document provides the motivation for leveraging transport layer
   security mechanisms for secure SNMP communication, identifies some
   key issues and provides some proposals for design choices that may be
   made to provide a workable solution that meets operational
   requirements and fits into the SNMP architecture defined in [RFC3411]

2.  Motivation

   There are a number of Internet security protocols and mechanisms that
   are in wide spread use.  Many of them try to provide a generic
   infrastructure to be used by many different application layer
   protocols.  The motivation  behind TMSM is to leverage these
   protocols where it seems useful.

   There are a number of challenges to be addressed to map the security
   provided by a secure transport into the SNMP architecture so that
   SNMP continues to work without any surprises.  These are discussed in
   detail below.

3.  Requirements of a Transport Mapping Security Model

3.1  Security Requirements

   Transport mapping security protocols SHOULD ideally provide the
   protection against the following message-related threats [RFC3411]:

   1.  modification of information
   2.  masquerade
   3.  message stream modification
   4.  disclosure

=0C
Internet-Draft    SNMPv3 Transport Mapping Security Model   October 2004


   According to [RFC3411], it is not required to protect against denial
   of service or traffic analysis.

3.2  Architectural Modularity Requirements

   [RFC3411] section 3 describes a modular architecture to allow the
   evolution of the SNMP protocol standards over time.  This
   architecture includes a Security Subsystem which is responsible for
   realizing security services.

   Transport mapping security is by its very nature a security layer
   which is plugged in between the transport layer and the dispatcher.
   Conceptually, transport mapping security models will be called from
   within the Transport Mapping portion of an SNMP engine, or will be
   positioned between the transport mapping subsystem and the
   dispatcher.

   The design of a transport mapping security model must abide the goals
   of the RFC3411 architecture, section 1.  To that end, this transport
   mapping security model proposal focuses on a modular subsystem that
   can be advanced through the standards process independently of other
   proposals, and independent of other susbsystems as much as possible.

   This subsystem is designed as an architectural extension that permits
   different transport mapping security protocols to be "plugged into"
   this subsystem, to support supplemental transport mapping security
   models in addition to those described here.

   IETF standards typically require one mandatory-to-implement solution,
   with the capability of adding new security mechanisms in the future.
   Any transport mapping security model should define one
   minimum-compliance mechanism, preferably one which is already widely
   deployed within the trasnport layer security protocol used.

   This architectural extension is illustrated by the following diagram,
   which is a modified version of the diagram taken from the SNMP
   architecture document.

   TODO: Insert drawing here...


3.3  Passing messages between Dispatchers

   Typically, with a TMSM model, the transport mapping will establish an
   encrypted tunnel between the transport mappings of two SNMP engines,
   without passing anything to the SNMP dispatcher.  One transport
   mapping  security model instance encrypts all messages, and the other
   transport mapping security model instance decrypts the messages.



Harrington & Schoenwaelder    Expires April 1, 2005             [Page 5]
=0C
Internet-Draft    SNMPv3 Transport Mapping Security Model   October 2004


   After the transport-layer tunnel is established, then SNMP messages
   can conceptually be sent through the tunnel from one SNMP engine
   dispatcher to another SNMP engine dispatcher.  SNMP messages are
   passed unencrypted from the source dispatcher to its own TMSM, and
   presented unencrypted to the destination SNMP dispatcher.

   Once the tunnel is established, multiple SNMP messages may be able to
   be passed through the same tunnel.

3.4  Security Parameter Passing Requirement

   [RFC3411] section 4 describes primitives to describe the abstract
   service interfaces  used to conceptually pass information between the
   various subsystems, models and applications within the architecture.
   A Transport mapping Security Model must pass information between
   subsystems as well.

   The RFC3411 architecture has no ASI parameters for passing security
   information between the transport mapping and the dispatcher, and
   between the dispatcher and the message processing model.  Since the
   TM-security model and MP-security model are co-resident within an
   implementation, it is assumed there is a trust relationship that
   exists within the implementation.  There are four approaches that
   could be used for passing information between the TM-securitymodel
   and the MP-security model :
      we could define an ASI to supplement the existing ASIs, or
      the TMSM could pass the information in an implementation-specific
      cache, or
      the TMSM could add a header to encapsulate the SNMP message, or
      the TMSM could utilize fields already defined in the existing
      SNMPv3 message.

3.4.1  Using an ASI

   RFC3411 discusses the purpose, and an explicit non-purpose, of the
   ASI approach: "This modularity of specification is not meant to be
   interpreted as imposing any specific requirements on implementation."
   An ASI is not an API, and following a defined ASI is not required for
   interoperability, so implementors are really free to use any method
   they choose.  However, defining an ASI has the advantage of being
   consistent with existing RFC3411/3412 practice.

3.4.2  Using a cache

   A cache mechanism could be used, in which the TM-security model puts
   information about the security applied to an incoming message, and an
   MP-security model extracts that information from the cache.  The
   cache is not passed via an explicit ASI.  Given that there may be



Harrington & Schoenwaelder    Expires April 1, 2005             [Page 6]
=0C
Internet-Draft    SNMPv3 Transport Mapping Security Model   October 2004


   multiple TM-security caches, a cache-ID probably needs to be passed
   in the message in the ASI so the MP-security model knows which cache
   to consult.  This approach would be consistent with the
   securityStateReference cache already being passed around in the ASI.

   The cache could be thought of as an additional parameter in the ASI.
   The ASI would not need to be changed since the SNMPv3 WG expected
   that additional parameters could be passed for value-add features of
   specific implementations.

3.4.3  Using an encapsulating header

   A header could encapsulate the SNMP message to pass necessary
   information from the TM-security model to the dispatcher and then to
   the MP-security model.  The message header would be included in the
   wholeMessage ASI parameter, and would be removed by a corresponding
   messaging model.  This would imply a new messaging model would need
   to be specified as well.  The other approaches may be able to use the
   standard SNMPv3 messaging model, with a new MP-security model.

3.4.4  Using existing fields in a message

   [RFC3412] describes the SNMPv3 message, which contains fields to pass
   security-related parameters.  The TMSM could use these fields in an
   SNMPv3 message, or comparable fields in other message formats to pass
   information between transport mapping security models in different
   SNMP engines, and to pass information between a TM security model and
   the corresponding MP security model.

   It is importnat to understand that SNMP messages are ASN.1 encoded,
   and the SNMP architecture places no constraints on how the ASN.1 gets
   decoded - it might be decoded in one massive decode, or individual
   portions of the message, such as individual varbinds, may be decoded
   only as needed.  This is an implementation decision.

   If the fields in an incoming SNMPv3 message are changed by the TM
   portion before passing it to the MP portion, then the TM portion will
   need to encode its parameters in ASN.1 or the message model would
   need to be modified to permit non-encoded data to be added to the
   message in a  manner that would not impact the existing ASN.1
   encoding/decoding of the message.  In addition, the MP portion may
   not be able to perform a transport-independent message integrity
   check, and transport-independent encryption may not be able to be
   performed by the MP portion of the model.  While it may be desirable
   for most TMSM models to perform those services through the TM portion
   of the model, assuming the use of a cache or an encapsulating header
   would not impose such constraints on future models.

   This document will describe a cache approach, but an encapsulating
   header or other mechanisms could also be used if preferred for
   specific TM security models.

3.5  Access Control Requirements

3.5.1  Architectural securityName Binding Requirement

   For SNMP access control to function properly, the security mechanism
   must establish a securityName, which is the security model
   independent identifier for a principal, a security model identifier,
   and a securityLevel.  The SNMPv3 message processing architecture
   subsystem relies on a message model based security model, such as
   USM, to play an  role in security that goes beyond protecting the
   message - it ties various security models for the same principal to a
   security-model independent securityName which can be used for
   subsequent processing, such as for access control.

   The TMSM assumes two portions to a security model, one tied to the
   transport mapping and another tied to the message processing model.
   and will be referred to here as a TM-portion and an MP-portion of the
   security model.  Depending on the specific design of the security
   model, different features might be provided by the TM portion or by
   the MP portion.  For example, the binding of a mechanism-specific
   authenticated identity to a securityName might be done by the TM
   portion or by the MP portion.

   The SNMP architecture distinguishes between messages with no
   authentication and no privacy (noAuthNoPriv), authentication without
   privacy (authNoPriv) and authentication with privacy (authPriv).
   Hence, the authentication of a transport-layer identity plays an
   important role and must be considered by any transport layer security
   mechanism used.  However, it is also possible that a second level of
   authentication, one provided by a AAA server, for example, may be
   used to provide the authentication identity which is bound to the
   securityName, if the type of authentication provided by the transport
   layer (e.g.  host-based or anonymous) is considered adequate to
   secure and/or encrypt the message, but inadequate to provide the
   desired granularity of access control  (e.g.  user-based).

4.  Fields in the SNMPv3 message

4.1  msgVersion

   For proposals that reuse the SNMPv3 message format, this field should
   contain the value 3.

=0C
Internet-Draft    SNMPv3 Transport Mapping Security Model   October 2004


4.2  msgGlobalData

   msgID and msgMaxSize are used identically for the TMSM models as for
   the USM model.

   msgSecurityModel should be set to a value from the SnmpSecurityModel
   enumeration [RFC3410] to identify the specific TMSM model.

   msgSecurityParameters is used identically for the TMSM models as for
   the USM model.

   msgFlags have the same values for the TMSM models as for the USM
   model.  "The authFlag and privFlag fields indicate the securityLevel
   that was applied to the message before it was sent on the wire."

4.3  securityLevel and msgFlags

   For an outgoing message, msgFlags is the requested security for the
   message; if a TMSM cannot provide the requested securityLevel, the
   model MUST describe a standard behavior that is followed for that
   situation.  If the TMSM cannot provide at least the requested level
   of security, the TMSM MUST discard the request and SHOULD notify the
   message processing model that the request failed.  [dbh: how is yet
   to be determined, and may be model-specific or
   implementation-specific.]

   For an outgoing message, if the TMSM is  able to provide stronger
   than requested security, that may be acceptable.  The transport layer
   protocol would need to indicate to the receiver what security has
   been applied to the actual message.  To avoid the need to mess with
   the ASN.1 encoding, the SNMPv3 message carries the requested
   msgFlags, not the actual securityLevel applied to the message.  If a
   non-SNMPv3 message format is used, then the new message may carry the
   more accurate securityLevel in the SNMP message.

   For an incoming message, the receiving TMSM knows what must be done
   to process the message based on the transport layer mechanisms.  If
   the underlying transport security mechanisms for the receiver cannot
   provide the matching securityLevel, then the message should follow
   the standard  behaviors for the transport security mechanism, or be
   discarded silently.

   Part of the responsibility of the TMSM is to ensure that the actual
   security provided by the underlying transport layer security
   mechansisms is configured to meet or exceed the securityLevel
   required by the msgFlags in the SNMP message.  When the MP-security
   portion of the model processes the incoming message, it should
   compare the msgFlags field to the securityLevel actually provided for



Harrington & Schoenwaelder    Expires April 1, 2005             [Page 9]
=0C
Internet-Draft    SNMPv3 Transport Mapping Security Model   October 2004


   the message by the transport layer security.  If they differ, the MP
   portion of the security model should determine whether the changed
   securityLevel is acceptable.  If not, it should discard the message.
   Depending on the model, the MP portion may issue a reportPDU with the
   XXXXXXX model-specific counter.

   Questions about msgFlags:

      Is the seclevel looked at before the security model gets to it.?
      No.  the security model has two parts - the TM portion and the MP
      portion.  The seclevel is looked at by the TM portion before it
      gets to the MP piece, but both are parts of the same security
      model.
      Would it be legal for the security model to ignore the incoming
      flags and change them before passing them back up? If it changed
      them, it wouldn't necessarily be ignoring them.  The TM portion
      should pass both an actual securityLevel applied to the message,
      and the msgFlags in the SNMP message to the MP piece for
      consideration related to access control..  The msgFlags parameter
      in the SNMP message is never changed when processing an incoming
      message.
      Would it be legal for the security model to ignore the outgoing
      flags and change them before passing them out? no; because the two
      portions are parts of the same security model, either the MP piece
      should recognize that a securityLevel cannot be met or exceeded,
      and reject the message during the message-build phase, or the TM
      piece should determine if it is possible to honor the request.  It
      is possible to apply an increased securityLevel for an outgoing
      request, but the procedure to do so must be spelled out clearly in
      the model design.
      The security model would need to (MUST) check the incoming
      security level flags to make sure they matched the TLS/whatever
      session setup and if not drop the message.  Yes, mostly.
      Depending on the model, either the TM portion or the MP portion
      MUST verify that the actual processing met or exceeded the
      securityLevel requested by the msgFlags and that it is acceptable
      to the specific-model processing (or operator configuration) for
      this different securitylevel to be applied to the message.  This
      is also true (especially) for outgoing messages.
      You might legally be able to have a authNoPriv message that is
      actually encrypted via the transport (but not the other way around
      of course).  Yes, a TMSM could define that as the behavior (or
      permit an operator to specifiy that is acceptable behavior) when a
      requested securityLevel cannot be provided, but a stronger
      securityLevel can be provided.

   See the Appendix A appendix for further discussion of the msgFlags
   field versus the actual securityLevel provided.  [dbh: it may be a

   good thing to merge the Q and A with the appendix, either here or
   there.]

4.4  The tmStateReference for Passing Security Parameters

   A tmStateReference is used to pass data between the TM portion and
   the MP portion of the security model, similar to the
   securityStateReference described in RFC3412.  This can be envisioned
   as being appended to the ASIs between the TM and the MP or as being
   passed in an encapsulating header.

   The TM portion of the security model may provide only some aspects of
   security, and leave some aspects to the MP portion of the model.
   tmStateReference should be used to pass any parameters, in a model-
   and mechanism-specific format, that will be needed to coordinate the
   activities of the TM and MP portions of the model, and the parameters
   subsequently passed in  securityStateReference .  For example, the TM
   portion may provide privacy and data integrity and authentication and
   authorization policy retrievals, or some subset of these features,
   depending on the features available in the transport mechanisms.  A
   field in tmStatereference should identify which services were
   provided for each received message by the TM portion,  the
   securityLevel applied to the received message, the model-specific
   security identity, the session identifier for session-based transport
   security, and so on.

4.5  securityStateReference Cached Security Data

   From RFC3411: "For each message received, the Security Model caches
   the state information such that a Response message can be generated
   using the same security information, even if the Local Configuration
   Datastore is altered between the time of the incoming request and the
   outgoing response.

   A Message Processing Model has the responsibility for explicitly
   releasing the cached data if such data is no	longer needed.  To
   enable this, an abstract securityStateReference data element is
   passed from the Security Model to the Message Processing Model.  The
   cached security data may be implicitly released via the generation of
   a response, or explicitly released by	    using the stateRelease
   primitive, as described in section 4.5.1."

   To differentiate what information needs to be provided to the MP
   portion by the TM portion, and vice-versa, this document will
   differentiate the tmStateReference from the securityStateReference.
   An implementation MAY use one cache and one reference to serve both
   functions, but an implementer must be aware of the cache-release
   issues to prevent the cache from being released before the TM portion

   has had an opportunity to extract the information it needs.

4.5.1  Prepare an Outgoing SNMP Message

   According to RFC3412, section 7.1,  the SNMPv3 message processing
   model calls the MP portion of the TM security model using the
   generateResponseMsg() or generateRequestMsg().  The MP portion of the
   model may need to put information into the tmStateReference cache for
   use by the TM portion of the model, such as:
      tmSecurityStateReference - the unique identifier for the cached
      information
      tmTransportDomain
      tmTransportAddress
      tmSecurityModel - an indicator of which mechanisms to use
      tmSecurityName - a model-specific identifier of the security
      principal
      tmSecurityLevel - an indicator of which security services are
      requested
   and may contain additional information such as
      tmSessionID
      tmSessionKey
      tmSessionMsgID

4.5.2  Prepare Data Elements from an Incoming SNMP Message

   For an incoming message, the TM portion of a model will need to put
   information from the transport mechanisms used into the
   tmStateReference so the MP portion of the model can extract the
   information and add it conceptually to the securityStateReference.

   The tmStateReference cache will likely contain at least the following
   information:
      tmStateReference - a unique identifier for the cached information
      tmSecurityStateReference - the unique identifier for the cached
      information
      tmTransportDomain
      tmTransportAddress
      tmSecurityModel - an indicator of which mechanisms to use
      tmSecurityName - a model-specific identifier of the security
      principal
      tmSecurityLevel - an indicator of which security services are
      requested
      tmAuthProtocol
      tmPrivProtocol
   and may contain additional information such as
      tmSessionID
      tmSessionKey

      tmSessionMsgID

4.6  Notifications

   For notifications, if the cache has been released and then session
   closed, then the MP-security model will request the TM-security model
   to establish a session, populate the cache, and pass the
   securityStateReference to the MP-security model.

   TODO: We need to determine what state needs to be saved here.

5.  Transport Mapping Security Model Samples

5.1  TLS/TCP Transport Mapping Security Model

   SNMP supports multiple transports.  The preferred transport for SNMP
   over IP is UDP [RFC3417].  An experimental transport for SNMP over
   TCP is defined in [RFC3430].

   TLS/TCP will create an association between the TMSM of one SNMP
   entity and the TMSM of another SNMP entity.  The created "tunnel" may
   provide encryption and data integrity.  Both encryption and data
   integrity are optional features in TLS.  The TLS TM-security model
   MUST provide authentication if auth is requested in the securityLevel
   of the SNMP message request (RFC3412 4.1.1).  The TLS TM-security
   model MUST specify that the messages be encrypted if priv is
   requested in the securityLevel parameter of the SNMP message request
   (RFC3412 4.1.1).

   The TLS TM-security model SHOULD use the TLS Handshake Protocol with
   mutual authentication.

5.1.1  tmStateReference for TLS

   Upon establishment of a TLS session, the TM-security model will cache
   the state information.  A tmStateReference that is unique within the
   SNMP entity will be stored in the cache, and passed to the
   corresponding MP-security model, to enable lookup.  The MP security
   model will pass the securityStateReference to the Message Processing
   Model for memory management.

   The tmStateReference cache:
      tmStateReference
      tmSecurityStateReference
      tmTransportDomain =3D TCP/IPv4
      tmTransportAddress =3D x.x.x.x:y
      tmSecurityModel - TLS TMSM

      securityLevel              =3D msgSecurityLevel

5.1.3  MIB Module for TLS Security

   Each security model should use its own mib module, rather than
   utilizing the USM MIB, to eliminate dependencies on a model that
   could be replaced some day.  See RFC3411 section 4.1.1.

   The TLS mib module needs to provide the mapping from model-specific
   identity to a model-independent securityName.

   TODO: Module needs to be worked out once things become stable...

5.2  DTLS/UDP  Transport Mapping Security Model

   DTLS has been proposed as a UDP-based TLS.  Transport Layer Security
   (TLS) [RFC2246] traditionally requires a connection-oriented
   transport and is usually used over TCP.  Datagram Transport Layer
   Security (DTLS) [DTLS] provides security services equivalent to TLS
   for connection-less transports such as UDP.

   DTLS provides all the security services needed from an SNMP
   architectural point of view.  Although it is possible to derive a
   securityName from the public key certificates (e.g.  the subject
   field), this approach requires to install certificates on agents and
   as well as managers, leading to a certificate management problem
   which again does not integrate well with established AAA systems.

   Another option is to run an authentication exchange which is
   integrated with TLS, such as Secure Remote Password with TLS
   [SRP-TLS].  A similar option would be to use Kerberos authentication
   with TLS as defined in [RFC2712].

=0C
Internet-Draft    SNMPv3 Transport Mapping Security Model   October 2004


   It is important to stress that the authentication exchange must be
   integrated into the TLS mechanism to prevent man-in-the-middle
   attacks.  While SASL [RFC2222] is often used on top of a TLS
   encrypted channel to authenticate users, this choice seems to be
   problematic until the mechanism to cryptographically bind SASL into
   the TLS mechanism has been defined.

   DTLS will create an association between the TMSM of one SNMP entity
   and the TMSM of another SNMP entity.  The created "tunnel" may
   provide encryption and data integrity.  Both encryption and data
   integrity are optional features in DTLS.  The DTLS TM-security model
   MUST provide authentication if auth is requested in the securityLevel
   of the SNMP message request (RFC3412 4.1.1).  The TLS TM-security
   model MUST specify that the messages be encrypted if priv is
   requested in the securityLevel parameter of the SNMP message request
   (RFC3412 4.1.1).

   The DTLS TM-security model SHOULD use the TLS Handshake Protocol with
   mutual authentication.

5.2.1  tmStateReference for DTLS

   Upon establishment of a DTLS session, the TM-security model will
   cache the state information.  A tmStateReference that is unique
   within the SNMP entity will be stored in the cache, and passed to the
   corresponding MP-security model, to enable lookup.  The MP security
   model will pass the securityStateReference to the Message Processing
   Model for memory management.

   The tmStateReference cache:
      tmStateReference

Internet-Draft    SNMPv3 Transport Mapping Security Model   October 2004


      Need to discuss to what extent DTLS is a reasonable choice for
      SNMP interactions.
      What is the status of the work to cryptographically bind SASL to
      DTLS?
      More details need to be worked out...

5.3  SASL Transport Mapping Security Model

   The Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) [RFC2222]
   provides a hook for authentication and security mechanisms to be used
   in application protocols.  SASL supports a number of authentication
   and security mechanisms, among them Kerberos via the GSSAPI
   mechanism.

   This sample will use DIGEST-MD5 because it supports authentication,
   integrity checking, and confidentiality.

   DIGEST-MD5 supports auth, auth with integrity, and auth with
   confidentiality.  Since SNMPv3 assumes integrity checking is part of
   authentication, if msgFlags is set to authNoPriv, the qop-value
   should be set to auth-int; if msgFlags is authPriv, then qop-value
   should be auth-conf.

   Realm is optional, but can be utilized by the securitymodel if
   desired.  SNMP does not use this value, but a TMSM could map the
   realm into SNMP processing in various ways.  For example, realm and
   username could be concatenated to be the securityName value, e.g.
   helpdesk::username", or the realm could be used to specify a
   groupname to use in the VACM access control.  This would be similar
   to the EUSM's approach to having the securityName-to-group mapping
   done by the external AAA server.

5.3.1  tmStateReference for SASL  DIGEST-MD5

   The tmStateReference cache:
      tmStateReference
      tmSecurityStateReference
      tmTransportDomain =3D TCP/IPv4
      tmTransportAddress =3D x.x.x.x:y
      tmSecurityModel - SASL TMSM
      tmSecurityName =3D username
      tmSecurityLevel =3D [auth-conf]
      tmAuthProtocol =3D md5-sess
      tmPrivProtocol =3D  3des
      tmServicesProvided =3D
         mutual authentication,
         reauthentication,

Internet-Draft    SNMPv3 Transport Mapping Security Model   October 2004


Appendix A.  Message security versus session security

A.1  msgFlags versus actual security

   Using IPSEC, SSH, or SSL/TLS to provide security services "below" the
   SNMP message, the use of securityname and securityLevel will differ
   from the USM/VACM approach to SNMP access control.  VACM uses the
   "securityName" and the "securityLevel" to determine if access is
   allowed.  Wtih the SNMPv3 message and USM security model, both
   securityLevel and securityName are contained in every SNMPv3 message.

   Any proposal for a security model using IPSEC, SSH, or SSL/TLS needs
   to specify how this info is made available to the SNMPv3 message
   processing, and how it is used.

   One specific case to consider is the relationship between the
   msgFlags of an SNMPv3 message, and the actual services provided by
   the lower layer security.  For example, if a session is set up with
   encryption, is the priv bit always (or never) set in the msgFlags
   field, and is the PDU never (or always) encrypted? Do msgFlags have
   to match the security services provided by the lower layer, or are
   the msgFlags ignored and the values from the lower layer used?

A.2  Message security versus session security

   For SBSM, and for many TMSM models, securityname is specified during
   session setup, and associated with the session identifier.  Is it
   possible for the request (and notification) originator to specify per
   message auth and encryption services, or are they are "fixed" by the
   transport/session model?

   If a session is created as 'authPriv', then keys for encryption would
   still be negotiated once at the beginning of the session.  But if a
   message is presented to the session with a security level of
   authNoPriv, then that message could simply be authenticated and not
   encrypted.  Wouldn't that also have some security benefit, in that it
   reduces the encrypted data available to an attacker gathering packets
   to try and discover the encryption keys?

   Agents are often resource-constrained.  Adding sessions increases the
   need for resources, we shouldn't require two sessions when one can
   suffice.  2 bytes per session structure and a compare or two is much
   less of a resource burden on an agent than two separate sessions.

   It's not just about CPU power of the device but the percentage of CPU
   cycles that are spent on network management.  There isn't much value
   in using encryption for a performance management system polling PEs
   for performance data on thousands of interfaces every ten minutes,it

   just adds significant overhead to processing of the packet.  Using an
   encrypted TLS channel for everything may not work for use cases in
   performance management wherein we collect massive amounts of non
   sensitive data at periodic intervals.  Each SNMP "session" would have
   to negotiate two separate protection channels (authPriv and
   authNoPriv) and for every packet the SNMP engine will use the
   appropriate channel based on the desired securityLevel.

   If the underlying transport layer security was configurable on a
   per-message basis, a TMSM could have a mib module with configurable
   maxSecurityLevel and a minSecurityLevel objects to identify the range
   of possible levels, and not all messages sent via that session are of
   the same level.  A session's maxSecurityLevel would identify the
   maximum security it could provide, and a session created with a
   minSecurityLevel of authPriv would reject an attempt to send an
   authNoPriv message.

[I'm assuming at least auth here for the sake of the following discussion]

IMHO, this should be a MUST.  Doing anything less is actually arguably
less secure than USM, which authenticates both sides (admittedly with
the same key, but both sides can be proven to be the correct
correspondence assuming no compromise has taken place).  With your
above statement, it means that no equal confidence can be made when
using TLS.

Hmm. If we were talking about using TLS for ISMS, I agree with you, Wes,
that it must use mutual authentication. However, if we are seeking to
require that ISMS must use TLS, then I would disagree. From where I sit,
I am by no means convinced that TLS is the best alternative for us to
pursue. Please note that I am not saying that it isn't. I am only saying
that I am far from convinced that it is.

[I'm assuming at least auth here for the sake of the following
discussion]

IMHO, this should be a MUST.  Doing anything less is actually arguably
less secure than USM, which authenticates both sides (admittedly with
the same key, but both sides can be proven to be the correct
correspondence assuming no compromise has taken place).  With your above
statement, it means that no equal confidence can be made when using TLS.

Hi -

Page16 of draft-kaushik-snmp-external-usm-00.txt describes
how a RADIUS server will generate a localized key.  It says that the
server will have to have been configured with the set of SNMP Engine
IDs in use by the AAA server.  What isn't clear to me from the text is
how the RADIUS server can know *which* of those SNMP Engine IDs
to use in key localization.

The RADIUS key request from the SNMPv3 agent carries the SNMP
manager's IP address, (as the "Calling-Station-ID") and the user
name (as the "User-Name"), but there's nothing for the agent's SNMP
Engine ID.

Randy

. How to provide SSL-based remote access to a broad range of Web and legacy
applications? 
. What about application performance and requirements?
. Are encrypted application tunnelling issues solved? 
. What differences with IPsec VPNs?

These questions, among others, will be tackled by the most recognised
experts in this field during the SSL VPN Conference to be held in Paris from
April 5 to 8, 2005 

 

The call for proposal dead line has been extended to November 30.

Hello All,
As a new outsider to this discussion I have some questions:
1) EUSM allows the SNMP agent/manager to cash the localized key for some time. How long ? 
When will it loose it's validity ?

2) If the localized key has to be requested again after every n-th SNMP transaction this 
means that every n-th UDP package will need  additional RADIUS traffic. How many additional 
packets/transactions does this mean ?

3) If the Radius server is unreachable is the SNMPv3 traffic according to EUASM dead ? Or ?

Hi Randy,

Administrators MUST configure the SNMP-Engine-ID on the AAA server
as part of the AAA client configuration for the SNMP agents. This will
help the AAA server locate the SNMP-Engine-ID for the agent that
is requesting keys.

We did not want the agents to pass the SNMP-Engine-ID since a
compromised agent can acquire localized keys for other agents.

regards,
  kaushik!

That has been described in the EUSM proposal. The key-cache-time will
be signalled by the AAA server to the SNMP agents as part of the key
distribution response.

The key-cache-time is a configurable parameter on the AAA server and
administrators can configure the time window based on the typical
patterns. It is advisable that this window be in the order of 90-180
seconds since that this is the typical duration of job/operation.

There aren't any fixed SNMP transactions in a session, it depends on
the operation and the key-cache-time.



>3) If the Radius server is unreachable is the SNMPv3 traffic according to 
>EUASM dead ? Or ?


That has been specified in the proposal as well, agents will use USM in
case the AAA server is down.

regards,
   kaushik!

That's not very scalable though.

Hi Wes,

We have discussed the scalibility issue since manually configuring
the AAA server with all SNMP engine IDs can be really tedious and
were looking at optimization where we had the SNMP agent pass
the SNMP engine ID and the AAA server would verify that engine ID
if it was configured or accept the SNMP engine ID passed by the
agent if none is configured.

regards,
   kaushik!

If the AAA server doesn't recognize the engineID,  what authorization
does it give by default? 
I would expect that the AAA server would need to know which group
permissions should be given to a user on a per-device basis.

This could be handled by simply associating the user toa group, and
then configuring only certain groups to certain devices, but that
makes the configuration of VACM more difficult. At some point the
difficulty of configuring engineIDs into a centralized AAA server may
be easier than configuring different VACM policies onto different
devices.

Hi Dave,

The authorization of the engine IDs can be done via a variety
of policies including user groups assigned to the user. In most
of our prototype work we have had the AAA server import the
devices and their engine IDs from SNMP Manager.

regards,
   kaushik!

Hi Wes,

Actually it was not a chicken and egg problem with EUSM since
the process for Discovery of engine IDs for authoritative agents
still stays the same as described in RFC3414, i.e. we continue
to use a Request message with a securityLevel of  noAuthNoPriv
and the response to this message will be a Report message
containing the snmpEngineID.

This would mean that agents do-not need to acquire keys to serve
an SNMPv3 engine ID discovery request and SNMP Managers can
discovery engine IDs and bootstrap the AAA server.

regards,
   kaushik!

HI,

Back in the BOFs I presented some slides that went through the
scenarios with regards to what was needed to be done in the
operations that have to do with security. That is, for
operational actions such as deploying a new device (such
as a router), adding access for a new user, removing
access for a user, changing a user's secrets, etc,
what were the additional steps that had to be taken
for SNMP. And by additional steps, it was the realization
that a large majority of devices already used other management
interfaces (such as a command line via serial line or via SSH,
or Web Browser) that had to be set up for security, and that
if nothing else was needed to be done for SNMP, then
the goal of integration had occured.

So, I suggest that the selection procedure consist of listing
the operational tasks. And then list the actions needed to
support each operational task for each ISMS proposal with
each of the leading security authentication infrastructures/methods.
Once this is done, if a clear choice is not obvious, then
additional approaches can also be used.

Regards,
/david t. perkins

An even more basic question: If the problem with SNMPv3 was only that it is difficult to 
manage keys why don't we just let radius to assign the keys that the real USM can use for a 
long time ? Then we could let it be the administrators job to decide if he wants to change 
keys every 2 minutes or every two months.

Is it really  a design goal to push the administrators into using short lived keys (60-180 
sec) ? Or in other words, do you see problems with setting the cache period to 2 months ?

If Radius is unavailable why can't we just keep on using the last valid EUSM keys in USM 
this way we might avoid the need to configure USM as a backup.

The SHOULD refers to using the specific protocol, with the specific
level of authentication. It is my understanding that the TLS Handshake
Protocol is one option for atuthentication, which might be superceded
in the future, so it can only be a SHOULD. I have no difficulty
requiring mutual authentication when TLS Handshake is used.

Balazs,

The key management problem is indeed an issue (i.e., SNMPv3 deployments
are often operationally insecure). However, the following is my list of
what I believe to be the problems with SNMP security (listed in order of
increasing importance):
1) no provisions for two-factored authentication
2) SNMP symmetric keys may be assembled from passwords
3) Key updates do not provide for Perfect Forward Security
4) Inherent Symmetric Key distribution problems
5) Lack of viable session keys

I want to encourage your thoughts about using Radius. However, I also
want to encourage Kerberos and PKI-based solutions since each of these
are viable enterprise-wide solutions. The fact that in my analysis PKI
solutions are the best alternative for our company's networks does not
mean that other companies wouldn't be better served by a Kerberos or
Radius solution. However, it does mean that I would like the ultimate
solution to be also able to support PKI.

--Eric

The problem with long lasting keys is that there isn't a scheme for revocation
described in Radius. The proposal does not try to limit the use of the key
lifetime to 60-180 seconds but definitely does not believe that the time should
be any where around 2 months given the inability for revocation.

The configuration of backup is required since other means of management
such as CLI require local accounts. I also believe that the way to handle the
fallback case is to make AAA services more available rather trying to define
schemes that involve caching keys for long durations.

Howdy all,

Here is a draft minutes for the ISMS WG meeting yesterday.  Please let me
know if you have any comments or suggestions.  Particularly let me know
if I've misattributed something in the minutes.

DRAFT Minutes for the Integrated Security Model for SNMPv3 (ISMS) WG
IETF 61, November 8th, 2004


The meeting was opened by chairs Ken Hornstein (KH) and Juergen Quittek (JQ).

(JQ) - Review of meeting goals

       Oct 4 cut off for proposal submission
       Nov we decide which solution

       Currently there are three proposals:

       SBSM - A higher-level approach
       EUSM - Straight forward extension of USM to support AAA
       TLSM - SNMP over TLS (or some other transport mapping service).

Traditional agenda bashing was next (minor changes to the order were
suggested, but the original agenda order was kept).

(JQ) - procedure Question, due we want to create evaluation team to
       decide on which proposal?

Wes Hardaker (Wes) - maybe only examine proposals that work group
                     want (i.e. not necessarily all three)

JQ - let's select criteria for proposal acceptance 

Unknown - Perhaps we should use proposals to drive requirements

Wes - lets bring it back to talking about criteria again

Dave Perkins (DP) - looking at what drives operations for the same,
we should look at each proposal to see if we can reduce the pain
level for managers to use and implement.

Ken - Our charter:
      maximize usability in environment
      integration into existing infrastructures.
      must not modify SNMPv3 protocol
      should be compliant with SNMPV3 security model, RFC 3411/2
      if at all possible, don't change any other protocols

Unknown - make sure existing SNMPv3 support isn't changed

Ken - we're still going over charter right now.

Ken - discussion of per-PDU encryption on the list, regarding the
ability to have different encryption/authentication per PDU

Wes - point of order, what things are in scope at this point are we
listing anything (i.e. goals and/or requirements?),

JQ - we should make a difference between requirements and nice to
haves

Wes - I believe one of requirements is must not decrease security.

Ken - technically that is not in charter

Wes - It has been discussed before.

Jürgen Schönwälder (JS) - what does that mean?

Wes - we can't create a new protocol that doesn't provide same
strengths that USM provides.  But some of operators didn't like
strengths USM provides, they send passwords in clear so that they
can log in to the machines.  i.e. they don't find USM usable, so
there may be some question as to what strengths we need to support.
But we should have encryption / authentication capability and the
protection of breaking one client not breaking all clients.

Unknown - Operators pass passwords in clear for convenience; they prefer
	  convenience in this case instead of security.

Jeff Case (JC) - I'm concerned about usability line derived from the
charter, can it be broken into 4 things from the line in charter:
usability, deployment success, minimize implementation cost, quick
time to market...

usability
minimum implementation cost
minimum deployment cost
time to market

JC - should we consider what they export/import restrictions in top
countries in world so that the technology selected is acceptable to
most/all of them

Steve Belovin (SB) [AD] - we design technically sound protocols, let
the lawyers fight over legal acceptability.

Unknown - questioning usability, be clearer on what we do mean.

Ken - example of problem with USM, large scale re-keying of
passwords... In the eye of the beholder. 

JQ - usability, what functions are needed and how easy is it to use them

Michael St.John? (MSJ) - should differentiate between agent and
manager

Sam Hartman (SH) - deployment ease : security should work with existing the
authentication infrastructure you have

Wes - operator desirability, operators have varying environments so
we should have flexibility in ISMS, (within reasons).  Would
operators want to use it?, would someone actually start using it?

JQ - desirability

Wes - should we strike usability

JQ - we're high in abstraction, we should be talking about a lower
level

DH - 7 (integration into infrastructure) should be split into two
parts, management and security integration

Ken - management is done by SNMP proper

DH - snmp parity as example, it was nice and secure but one had to
go to the box to configure.  people use HP OV to find devices on
network but had to configure box before it could be discovered, it
wasn't usable.

DP - somewhat different view that when someone deploys a new box, if
they just plug it into the network, they have unreal expectations if
they think the can, without configuration, manage it and manage it
securely.  Many different ways to do initial configuration, but
something that may not be obvious to anyone is that wouldn't it be
nice if they didn't have to do anything extra to integrate with
SNMPv3.  Should go through use cases.

DH - said you disagreed with what I said, but I just meant we should
be able to do discovery

DP - but I disagree, you should need to configure a box when putting
it on a network

DH - but I want to find a rogue box put on network.

Ken - I think both are compatible

DP - but different way of looking on world, a manager will need to
configure any device put on network

Unknown - don't break basic discovery.

JQ - let's move this discussion off-line

Unknown - we should support engine ID discovery for example

JQ - on the list we have integration into infrastructure, let's keep
requirements, but we can discuss details later.

Uri - change item 12 ???

Ken - since we're not changing SNMPv3, USM is still there, engine ID
discovery could be done via USM, just to throw an idea out there

JQ - does any one think we should have more criteria here?

DH - re URI, in RFC 3412 noAuthNoPriv specified in architectural
portion not security portion.

TLSM proposal			Dave Harrington



Transport Mapping Security Model

lot's of people on list said they wanted to see a TLS model, so I
did one.  Not a strong proponent but I thought it needed to be done.

Lower Layer protocols,  TLS, DTLS, SASL, SSH, others...

tried to create a proposal that would allow fitting a transport
layer mapping to the SNMP engine.

different protocols provide different services.

TM model, should understand what service mechanisms? available,
which services, which security principle

DP - from the list, if we provide lower level transport, do you
ignore the security level field in PDU or does it have to match the
transport or what.  How do these interact?

DH - message flags are SNMP requirements, that must be communicated
to lower layer.

Bert Wijnen (BW) [AD] - on the receiving side if the two don't
match, what do you do. It just needs to be worked out.

DH - quick tangent, this was a last minute proposal, a new version
of the proposal was published and a lot of these questions are
answered in it. In the new version the MP portion does same analysis
of message to see if security level maps to session.  If PDU
security level is greater than session it is dropped. undecided what
to do if it PDU security level is less than session.

Don't Know - alternative thing, ???, this is case that it isn't an
attack but a bug in implementation

Wes - the current draft doesn't talk about parameters to pass
between different lower level protocols.

DH - the appendix does have some mappings of security wrappings

JC - addressing DP questions, the ASI at the invoker says wants to
use a particular security level / security model.  What's in the PDU
may not match the security level of the SM or of the ASI information
to the application.... The message wrapper of security model may
need separate security bits to indicate security level and info
separate from security level in PDU.

DP - need clarification of ASI's

JC - a proposal would need to define, in separate bits or others ???

Gary? - no complete control between layers...

DH - in first iteration, I was going to pass to sets of bits,
security model level and message and placed in security parameters.
Didn't think ASN.1'ing of that was worthwhile. So new version of
draft uses cache, a pointer is passed to indicate a session's
security information for a packet.

Randy? - should probably skip some of the technical aspects here
and discuss on list

Wes - just though of another problem.  if encrypt packets that the
manager doesn't know are encrypted it will mess up benchmarking.
And more importantly it could mess up what is sent to VACM for
access control.

DH - if they don't match, ???

Randy - don't mess with flags if you need more security, it means
you need to create a new channel (session).

Unknown - how to handle different credential types with underlying
transports.  talks about Transpor Layer - SNMP transaction but not
with security negotiations within the transport layer.

JQ - next presentation, please.


Wes - update of ISMS


quick overview
current is draft-hardaker-snmp-sbsm-03.txt

creates session between two points

3 phases, init, running , closing

The init PDU'S are get and report PDU's.  Applications never see
these PDU's.  This is similar to engieID discovery or time synching
today)

picture of message flow...

Re-uses all existing transports because not tied to it.  SNMPv3
architecture, application compliant re-uses exist authentication
systems to extend authentication definitions.  compression, id
disclosure protection, replay protection, negation but rigid???

based on SIGMA

already have basic implementation
19.5 hours to implement (with a developer that has expert knowledge
SNMP toolkit used)


Eric - it's a re-invent of IKE

Wes - much simpler than IKE, based on SIGMA not IKE

Eric - both based on STS, I think that it's more complex than it
looks.  Adding new authentication schemes will each add a large
amount of complexity.  IKE's complex, but it is finished.

Wes - I agree that inter-operability needs are important... ???

Eric - TLS took a long time to finalize exchanges, 2-4 years

Wes - 1-2 pages to define, but that doesn't count WG consensus time.
      The current way is simple...???

Eric - key exchange will get complicated very fast.

Unknown - haven't read draft, but flow diagram seems to violate
some of the layers... How is closing done? 

Wes - applications can close, low layer library can close.  It can
be an application decision, a toolset issue not a protocol issue

Nico Williams (NW) - besides echoing Eric, we (ietf) already have a lot of
key exchange protocol, I don't want to see another.  One thing that
worries me is that you're deriving keys for the existing v3 model.

Wes - no, only two modes defined in USM

NW - if transport layer model is rejected, you might want to
consider the way per PDU protection is done ??? adding new
mechanisms to SNMPv3

NW - adding new mechanisms to SNMPv3 not within charter

Wes - the reasons the modes are there today, is that is what is
available to SNMPv3.

NW - lastly shouldn't create a new key exchange protocol

Wes - you could conceivable do IKE within in SNMPv3, but IKE has
lots of deployment problems. I think we have two choices, place
authentication / encryption in lower layer underneath or you do it
within SNMP.

Eric - three levels, lower layer, SNMP, or side negotiations.  It is
a choice between transport mapping and application specific protocol
and which integrates better into SNMPv3 model. choice of which key
exchange protocol to use determined by assessment of applicability
of exchange models to user environment.

Wes - some background, one purpose of ISMS is to fix a major
complaint.  People are not using authentication mechanisms of
SNMPv3.

Eric - at minimum there are already at least 4 ways to do key
exchange and they support multiple protocols.

Wes - so many mechanisms in use. it's difficult to choose.

Unknown - pick one but don't go with all of them.

Wes - I agree... I designed an architecture that would let this work
group pick one.

Unknown  - shouldn't try to meet all cases.



EUSM presentation -- Kaushik Narayan  (KN)


I'll talk about changes and uniqueness from other proposals.

no new fields, but it uses existing SNMPv3 - USM as described in
RFCs

few small changes, setting up session is a high cost, so a goal was
to have the session / key negotiation setup be done by third party.
It uses existing key exchange protocols.

EAP was one example in draft, but not only one possible.


Randy - how does agent know what keying info to use with info from
radius server.

Dave Harrington - SNMPv3 created engine ID, because a
differentiation was necessary. We need to the engine id for this.

KN - caching, typical duration of 90-180 seconds for a 'session'.

JC - why choose that length.

KN - time window is not definitive just an example.  want to avoid
keeping keys on an agent for a long duration, but time should be
configurable. It's not hard coded. It is configurable.

KN - have a prototype implementation in AAA server and Cisco Works
product.  A motivations was as minimal changes to SNMP as possible,
and also to make sure that peer to peer exchanges for key creation was not
necessary (so use of third party AAA server)

DP - have you come out with a new draft.

KN - not yet

DP - In the current draft, it talked about in-band set up of
keys. Is that expanded upon in new draft?

KN - It will be covered in new draft.

DP - in draft and presentation the term AAA was used, this is fuzzy
to me what does this mean more precisely Radius, TACX+?, etc...

KN - when I'm talking about AAA in this context, I've been talking
about Radius and TACX+, but I want to make the protocol more generic
to allow others AAA servers.

DP - ??? (question of fuzzyness of AAA term)

KN - It does not require change in protocol to support different
types of AAA servers.

DP - It sound like you've done use case analysis, but I haven't seen
a use case of what to do when one adds a new box, adds a new user,
deletes a user,... ???

KN - reason to integrate with AAA servers is so that adding/deleting
user is covered by adding deleting user to AAA servers.  Other
proposals don't show these use cases either.  Should we cover these
use cases?

DP - use cases covered in IBSM in BOF's

Wes - should the WG require the use case?

DP - I'd like concrete steps to be able to understand how the
protocols work.

DH - I think that would be very useful

Gary - and it would apply to all proposals

DP - absolutely

Wes - ???... people still need to use USM, big difference because
the users today that don't use USM now, won't use it in the future
if AAA server is down (faulty network case???).

KN - ???

Wes - one USM user is required in this case and the operators do not
have any currently.

KN - if an authentication mechanism of local user is required, EUSM
could add it easily. IBSM would have same problem.

Wes - local user's already exist and IBSM can use local user, EUSM
still requires a local USM user which don't exist.

Gary - Could you clarify that?

Wes - EUSM still requires AAA server, if the network is broken this
is a problem.

KN - can fall back to USM users?

Gary? - if network not up, can't talk to machine anyway?

Ken - using other servers in the past have raised many complaints in
the SNMP community.

Gary? - biggest comment is shortness of key lifetime, but should
discuss on mailing list.

DP - We should accept that we sometimes need quick revocation of
keys (e.g. if someone is fired)

Randy - a comment on all proposals.  The reason integration of
current security models is important is because operators want to
log onto a machine without knowing how well or sick a network is.
So with a fall back to a local account, you'd really like the
mechanism to allow the same account to be able to fall back to the
same user?

KN - we'll clarify fall back to USM in draft.

Ken - should take this to mailing list.

Gary? - this issue will exist with any mechanism except local
accounts.  For revocation, either need to check over the network or
fall back.

Unknown - The way a broken device is handle today in operations,
it requires special procedures to fall back to a local user.
Particular you can't assume you can use the same credentials on the
box as off.

DH - I was wondering how much radius is used on core devices

KN - I think it's pretty universal for edge or core.

DH - in SNMP architecture we deliberatively moved away from manager-agent
terminology and your draft uses those terms.

KN - I need to clean up terminology in draft.

DH - can the key from the manager side be used for informs?

KN - one of the things we worried about is should the agent have to
talk to the AAA server ...???..., think we should discuss this on
list.

DH - ??
KN - ??

DH - can a radius server revoke a key?

KN - handle this via shortened key lifetime (although master key
could be revoked on server)


JQ - go back to criteria list, check blue sheets what are some of
the key differences in proposals?

KN - I think one of the big difference is use of third party by EUSM
for key acquiring.

Unknown - ??? something like EUSM sounds like a good idea with
fall back to USM is good but replication of all users to all devices
is bad idea.

KN - I think fall back has been beaten to death but not any different
from fall back to CLI or Netconf??

Unknown - not disagreeing, just want to reiterate, don't
replicate authentication of DB's everywhere


JQ - any difference of proposals for 

- no decrease of security

Wes - .... difficult to cover this in one spreadsheet row

JC - should replay protection be optimal or mandatory?

Randy - is available a bit in SNMP via some parameters

Eric - ... let's concentrate on inherent design of protocols and
not minor details.

JQ - close additional security features, items 9, 10, 11 are all
good let's discuss integration (8).

JC - should have chart show: same as USM, more than USM, or less
than USM, instead of OK

JQ - we agree they all have at least as much, but which has more
we're unable to resolve today.

Wes - ... probably won't be able solve discussion of which is more
secure today.

Randy - one thing they all have in common is the use of sessions.
With the introduction of that concept we might want to examine how
many exchanges it takes to initialize a session and to close
a session.  What types of operations to add/delete user in the big
sense.  How long to propagate that knowledge out to nodes.

Eric - want to look at big picture, the key important question is,
what type of architecture do you want.  One bound tightly to SNMP,
like EUSM (IBSM??), layered on top, like TLSM, external keying
system that wires into SNMP, like EUSM.  Many of these proposals are
orthogonal to requirement choices?

Wes - do we have time to make major changes to proposals.

Unknown - .... can we make a choice between to instead of three.

Ken - not sure we have consensus to remove one.

Wes - ... a significant difference between IBSM and EUSM, EUSM
forces third party keying.

KN - (respond to EUSM not be scaling any better than Kereberos?), a
motivation for EUSM proposals, we wanted to make sure that we made
as minimal a change to SNMP as possible because we have code already
and wanted to minimize the cost to upgrade.

Sam? - speaking as future AD, it would be difficult to get
architecture choice by March.

JQ - I don't think we can drop any of the three, so we will pass all
three onto to evaluation team.  

Ken - listed possibles, 4-5, for evaluation team

DP - any operations people

Ken - any here that want to volunteer

DH - want to know how many of the operators think all three of these
are viable. I'd like to eliminate one of these.  Particular I think
we should drop the TLSM (DH's) proposal.

JQ - don't think we can resolve this today.

Wes - one of the goals to pick quickly is because we have a very
tight deadline.  If the AD's want us to consider all the proposals,
I'm worried we won't make our deadlines.

Sam? - I don't care if one is dropped on the mailing list, I don't
think there is enough time today to make a good decision.

With no further discussion, the meeting was closed.

DRAFT Minutes for the Integrated Security Model for SNMPv3 (ISMS) WG =
IETF
61, November 8th, 2004


The meeting was opened by chairs Ken Hornstein (KH) and Juergen Quittek
(JQ).

(JQ) - Review of meeting goals

       Oct 4 cut off for proposal submission
       Nov we decide which solution

       Currently there are three proposals:

       SBSM - A higher-level approach
       EUSM - Straight forward extension of USM to support AAA
       TLSM - SNMP over TLS (or some other transport mapping service).

Traditional agenda bashing was next (minor changes to the order were
suggested, but the original agenda order was kept).

(JQ) - procedure Question, due we want to create evaluation team to
       decide on which proposal?

Wes Hardaker (Wes) - maybe only examine proposals that work group
                     want (i.e. not necessarily all three)

JQ - let's select criteria for proposal acceptance=20

Unknown - Perhaps we should use proposals to drive requirements

Wes - lets bring it back to talking about criteria again

Dave Perkins (DP) - looking at what drives operations for the same, we
should look at each proposal to see if we can reduce the pain level for
managers to use and implement.

Ken - Our charter:
      maximize usability in environment
      integration into existing infrastructures.
      must not modify SNMPv3 protocol
      should be compliant with SNMPV3 security model, RFC 3411/2
      if at all possible, don't change any other protocols

Unknown - make sure existing SNMPv3 support isn't changed

Ken - we're still going over charter right now.

Ken - discussion of per-PDU encryption on the list, regarding the =
ability to
have different encryption/authentication per PDU

Wes - point of order, what things are in scope at this point are we =
listing
anything (i.e. goals and/or requirements?),

JQ - we should make a difference between requirements and nice to haves

Wes - I believe one of requirements is must not decrease security.

Ken - technically that is not in charter

Wes - It has been discussed before.

J=FCrgen Sch=F6nw=E4lder (JS) - what does that mean?

Wes - we can't create a new protocol that doesn't provide same =
strengths
that USM provides.  But some of operators didn't like strengths USM
provides, they send passwords in clear so that they can log in to the
machines.  i.e. they don't find USM usable, so there may be some =
question as
to what strengths we need to support. But we should have encryption /
authentication capability and the protection of breaking one client not
breaking all clients.

Unknown - Operators pass passwords in clear for convenience; they =
prefer
	  convenience in this case instead of security.

Jeff Case (JC) - I'm concerned about usability line derived from the
charter, can it be broken into 4 things from the line in charter: =
usability,
deployment success, minimize implementation cost, quick time to =
market...

usability
minimum implementation cost
minimum deployment cost
time to market

JC - should we consider what they export/import restrictions in top
countries in world so that the technology selected is acceptable to =
most/all
of them

Steve Belovin (SB) [AD] - we design technically sound protocols, let =
the
lawyers fight over legal acceptability.

Unknown - questioning usability, be clearer on what we do mean.

Ken - example of problem with USM, large scale re-keying of =
passwords... In
the eye of the beholder.=20

JQ - usability, what functions are needed and how easy is it to use =
them

Michael St.John? (MSJ) - should differentiate between agent and manager

Sam Hartman (SH) - deployment ease : security should work with existing =
the
authentication infrastructure you have

Wes - operator desirability, operators have varying environments so we
should have flexibility in ISMS, (within reasons).  Would operators =
want to
use it?, would someone actually start using it?

JQ - desirability

Wes - should we strike usability

JQ - we're high in abstraction, we should be talking about a lower =
level

DH - 7 (integration into infrastructure) should be split into two =
parts,
management and security integration

Ken - management is done by SNMP proper

DH - snmp parity as example, it was nice and secure but one had to go =
to the
box to configure.  people use HP OV to find devices on network but had =
to
configure box before it could be discovered, it wasn't usable.

DP - somewhat different view that when someone deploys a new box, if =
they
just plug it into the network, they have unreal expectations if they =
think
the can, without configuration, manage it and manage it securely.  Many
different ways to do initial configuration, but something that may not =
be
obvious to anyone is that wouldn't it be nice if they didn't have to do
anything extra to integrate with SNMPv3.  Should go through use cases.

DH - said you disagreed with what I said, but I just meant we should be =
able
to do discovery

DP - but I disagree, you should need to configure a box when putting it =
on a
network

DH - but I want to find a rogue box put on network.

Ken - I think both are compatible

DP - but different way of looking on world, a manager will need to =
configure
any device put on network

Unknown - don't break basic discovery.

JQ - let's move this discussion off-line

Unknown - we should support engine ID discovery for example

JQ - on the list we have integration into infrastructure, let's keep
requirements, but we can discuss details later.

Uri - change item 12 ???

Ken - since we're not changing SNMPv3, USM is still there, engine ID
discovery could be done via USM, just to throw an idea out there

JQ - does any one think we should have more criteria here?

DH - re URI, in RFC 3412 noAuthNoPriv specified in architectural =
portion not
security portion.

TLSM proposal			Dave Harrington



Transport Mapping Security Model

lot's of people on list said they wanted to see a TLS model, so I did =
one.
Not a strong proponent but I thought it needed to be done.

Lower Layer protocols,  TLS, DTLS, SASL, SSH, others...

tried to create a proposal that would allow fitting a transport layer
mapping to the SNMP engine.

different protocols provide different services.

TM model, should understand what service mechanisms? available, which
services, which security principle

DP - from the list, if we provide lower level transport, do you ignore =
the
security level field in PDU or does it have to match the transport or =
what.
How do these interact?

DH - message flags are SNMP requirements, that must be communicated to =
lower
layer.

Bert Wijnen (BW) [AD] - on the receiving side if the two don't match, =
what
do you do. It just needs to be worked out.

DH - quick tangent, this was a last minute proposal, a new version of =
the
proposal was published and a lot of these questions are answered in it. =
In
the new version the MP portion does same analysis of message to see if
security level maps to session.  If PDU security level is greater than
session it is dropped. undecided what to do if it PDU security level is =
less
than session.

Don't Know - alternative thing, ???, this is case that it isn't an =
attack
but a bug in implementation

Wes - the current draft doesn't talk about parameters to pass between
different lower level protocols.

DH - the appendix does have some mappings of security wrappings

JC - addressing DP questions, the ASI at the invoker says wants to use =
a
particular security level / security model.  What's in the PDU may not =
match
the security level of the SM or of the ASI information to the
application.... The message wrapper of security model may need separate
security bits to indicate security level and info separate from =
security
level in PDU.

DP - need clarification of ASI's

JC - a proposal would need to define, in separate bits or others ???

Gary? - no complete control between layers...

DH - in first iteration, I was going to pass to sets of bits, security =
model
level and message and placed in security parameters. Didn't think =
ASN.1'ing
of that was worthwhile. So new version of draft uses cache, a pointer =
is
passed to indicate a session's security information for a packet.

Randy? - should probably skip some of the technical aspects here and =
discuss
on list

Wes - just though of another problem.  if encrypt packets that the =
manager
doesn't know are encrypted it will mess up benchmarking. And more
importantly it could mess up what is sent to VACM for access control.

DH - if they don't match, ???

Randy - don't mess with flags if you need more security, it means you =
need
to create a new channel (session).

Unknown - how to handle different credential types with underlying
transports.  talks about Transpor Layer - SNMP transaction but not with
security negotiations within the transport layer.

JQ - next presentation, please.


Wes - update of ISMS


quick overview
current is draft-hardaker-snmp-sbsm-03.txt

creates session between two points

3 phases, init, running , closing

The init PDU'S are get and report PDU's.  Applications never see these
PDU's.  This is similar to engieID discovery or time synching
today)

picture of message flow...

Re-uses all existing transports because not tied to it.  SNMPv3
architecture, application compliant re-uses exist authentication =
systems to
extend authentication definitions.  compression, id disclosure =
protection,
replay protection, negation but rigid???

based on SIGMA

already have basic implementation
19.5 hours to implement (with a developer that has expert knowledge =
SNMP
toolkit used)


Eric - it's a re-invent of IKE

Wes - much simpler than IKE, based on SIGMA not IKE

Eric - both based on STS, I think that it's more complex than it looks.
Adding new authentication schemes will each add a large amount of
complexity.  IKE's complex, but it is finished.

Wes - I agree that inter-operability needs are important... ???

Eric - TLS took a long time to finalize exchanges, 2-4 years

Wes - 1-2 pages to define, but that doesn't count WG consensus time.
      The current way is simple...???

Eric - key exchange will get complicated very fast.

Unknown - haven't read draft, but flow diagram seems to violate some of =
the
layers... How is closing done?=20

Wes - applications can close, low layer library can close.  It can be =
an
application decision, a toolset issue not a protocol issue

Nico Williams (NW) - besides echoing Eric, we (ietf) already have a lot =
of
key exchange protocol, I don't want to see another.  One thing that =
worries
me is that you're deriving keys for the existing v3 model.

Wes - no, only two modes defined in USM

NW - if transport layer model is rejected, you might want to consider =
the
way per PDU protection is done ??? adding new mechanisms to SNMPv3

NW - adding new mechanisms to SNMPv3 not within charter

Wes - the reasons the modes are there today, is that is what is =
available to
SNMPv3.

NW - lastly shouldn't create a new key exchange protocol

Wes - you could conceivable do IKE within in SNMPv3, but IKE has lots =
of
deployment problems. I think we have two choices, place authentication =
/
encryption in lower layer underneath or you do it within SNMP.

Eric - three levels, lower layer, SNMP, or side negotiations.  It is a
choice between transport mapping and application specific protocol and =
which
integrates better into SNMPv3 model. choice of which key exchange =
protocol
to use determined by assessment of applicability of exchange models to =
user
environment.

Wes - some background, one purpose of ISMS is to fix a major complaint.
People are not using authentication mechanisms of SNMPv3.

Eric - at minimum there are already at least 4 ways to do key exchange =
and
they support multiple protocols.

Wes - so many mechanisms in use. it's difficult to choose.

Unknown - pick one but don't go with all of them.

Wes - I agree... I designed an architecture that would let this work =
group
pick one.

Unknown  - shouldn't try to meet all cases.



EUSM presentation -- Kaushik Narayan  (KN)


I'll talk about changes and uniqueness from other proposals.

no new fields, but it uses existing SNMPv3 - USM as described in RFCs

few small changes, setting up session is a high cost, so a goal was to =
have
the session / key negotiation setup be done by third party. It uses =
existing
key exchange protocols.

EAP was one example in draft, but not only one possible.


Randy - how does agent know what keying info to use with info from =
radius
server.

Dave Harrington - SNMPv3 created engine ID, because a differentiation =
was
necessary. We need to the engine id for this.

KN - caching, typical duration of 90-180 seconds for a 'session'.

JC - why choose that length.

KN - time window is not definitive just an example.  want to avoid =
keeping
keys on an agent for a long duration, but time should be configurable. =
It's
not hard coded. It is configurable.

KN - have a prototype implementation in AAA server and Cisco Works =
product.
A motivations was as minimal changes to SNMP as possible, and also to =
make
sure that peer to peer exchanges for key creation was not necessary (so =
use
of third party AAA server)

DP - have you come out with a new draft.

KN - not yet

DP - In the current draft, it talked about in-band set up of keys. Is =
that
expanded upon in new draft?

KN - It will be covered in new draft.

DP - in draft and presentation the term AAA was used, this is fuzzy to =
me
what does this mean more precisely Radius, TACX+?, etc...

KN - when I'm talking about AAA in this context, I've been talking =
about
Radius and TACX+, but I want to make the protocol more generic to allow
others AAA servers.

DP - ??? (question of fuzzyness of AAA term)

KN - It does not require change in protocol to support different types =
of
AAA servers.

DP - It sound like you've done use case analysis, but I haven't seen a =
use
case of what to do when one adds a new box, adds a new user, deletes a
user,... ???

KN - reason to integrate with AAA servers is so that adding/deleting =
user is
covered by adding deleting user to AAA servers.  Other proposals don't =
show
these use cases either.  Should we cover these use cases?

DP - use cases covered in IBSM in BOF's

Wes - should the WG require the use case?

DP - I'd like concrete steps to be able to understand how the protocols
work.

DH - I think that would be very useful

Gary - and it would apply to all proposals

DP - absolutely

Wes - ???... people still need to use USM, big difference because the =
users
today that don't use USM now, won't use it in the future if AAA server =
is
down (faulty network case???).

KN - ???

Wes - one USM user is required in this case and the operators do not =
have
any currently.

KN - if an authentication mechanism of local user is required, EUSM =
could
add it easily. IBSM would have same problem.

Wes - local user's already exist and IBSM can use local user, EUSM =
still
requires a local USM user which don't exist.

Gary - Could you clarify that?

Wes - EUSM still requires AAA server, if the network is broken this is =
a
problem.

KN - can fall back to USM users?

Gary? - if network not up, can't talk to machine anyway?

Ken - using other servers in the past have raised many complaints in =
the
SNMP community.

Gary? - biggest comment is shortness of key lifetime, but should =
discuss on
mailing list.

DP - We should accept that we sometimes need quick revocation of keys =
(e.g.
if someone is fired)

Randy - a comment on all proposals.  The reason integration of current
security models is important is because operators want to log onto a =
machine
without knowing how well or sick a network is. So with a fall back to a
local account, you'd really like the mechanism to allow the same =
account to
be able to fall back to the same user?

KN - we'll clarify fall back to USM in draft.

Ken - should take this to mailing list.

Gary? - this issue will exist with any mechanism except local accounts. =
 For
revocation, either need to check over the network or fall back.

Unknown - The way a broken device is handle today in operations, it =
requires
special procedures to fall back to a local user. Particular you can't =
assume
you can use the same credentials on the box as off.

DH - I was wondering how much radius is used on core devices

KN - I think it's pretty universal for edge or core.

DH - in SNMP architecture we deliberatively moved away from =
manager-agent
terminology and your draft uses those terms.

KN - I need to clean up terminology in draft.

DH - can the key from the manager side be used for informs?

KN - one of the things we worried about is should the agent have to =
talk to
the AAA server ...???..., think we should discuss this on list.

DH - ??
KN - ??

DH - can a radius server revoke a key?

KN - handle this via shortened key lifetime (although master key could =
be
revoked on server)


JQ - go back to criteria list, check blue sheets what are some of the =
key
differences in proposals?

KN - I think one of the big difference is use of third party by EUSM =
for key
acquiring.

Unknown - ??? something like EUSM sounds like a good idea with fall =
back to
USM is good but replication of all users to all devices is bad idea.

KN - I think fall back has been beaten to death but not any different =
from
fall back to CLI or Netconf??

Unknown - not disagreeing, just want to reiterate, don't replicate
authentication of DB's everywhere


JQ - any difference of proposals for=20

- no decrease of security

Wes - .... difficult to cover this in one spreadsheet row

JC - should replay protection be optimal or mandatory?

Randy - is available a bit in SNMP via some parameters

Eric - ... let's concentrate on inherent design of protocols and not =
minor
details.

JQ - close additional security features, items 9, 10, 11 are all good =
let's
discuss integration (8).

JC - should have chart show: same as USM, more than USM, or less than =
USM,
instead of OK

JQ - we agree they all have at least as much, but which has more we're
unable to resolve today.

Wes - ... probably won't be able solve discussion of which is more =
secure
today.

Randy - one thing they all have in common is the use of sessions. With =
the
introduction of that concept we might want to examine how many =
exchanges it
takes to initialize a session and to close a session.  What types of
operations to add/delete user in the big sense.  How long to propagate =
that
knowledge out to nodes.

Eric - want to look at big picture, the key important question is, what =
type
of architecture do you want.  One bound tightly to SNMP, like EUSM =
(IBSM??),
layered on top, like TLSM, external keying system that wires into SNMP, =
like
EUSM.  Many of these proposals are orthogonal to requirement choices?

Wes - do we have time to make major changes to proposals.

Unknown - .... can we make a choice between to instead of three.

Ken - not sure we have consensus to remove one.

Wes - ... a significant difference between IBSM and EUSM, EUSM forces =
third
party keying.

KN - (respond to EUSM not be scaling any better than Kereberos?), a
motivation for EUSM proposals, we wanted to make sure that we made as
minimal a change to SNMP as possible because we have code already and =
wanted
to minimize the cost to upgrade.

Sam? - speaking as future AD, it would be difficult to get architecture
choice by March.

JQ - I don't think we can drop any of the three, so we will pass all =
three
onto to evaluation team. =20

Ken - listed possibles, 4-5, for evaluation team

DP - any operations people

Ken - any here that want to volunteer

DH - want to know how many of the operators think all three of these =
are
viable. I'd like to eliminate one of these.  Particular I think we =
should
drop the TLSM (DH's) proposal.

JQ - don't think we can resolve this today.

Wes - one of the goals to pick quickly is because we have a very tight
deadline.  If the AD's want us to consider all the proposals, I'm =
worried we
won't make our deadlines.

Sam? - I don't care if one is dropped on the mailing list, I don't =
think
there is enough time today to make a good decision.

With no further discussion, the meeting was closed.

WG members,

Below you will find a summary of the working group meeting that
took place at this IETF (Washington, DC).  More detailed minutes
will be forthcoming.  I plan on integrating the current minutes
(thanks to Mike Baer) with the excellent job Sharon Chishom did as
Jabber scribe.

ISMS WG - IETF 61 Meeting Summary

The deadlines of the WG were discussed.

- October 2004 cutoff for for proposals
- November 2004 decision by WG on direction to take
- March 2005 recharter to focus on direction or shut down

There was a general discussion about selection critera.

The three different proposals were then discussed.

The first proposal was TLSM, by David Harrington.

- Using a lower level transport layer (such as TLS) to provide SNMP
  security
- Considerable discussion on this topic.
- David Harrington is not convinced it was the best, but "needed to be done"

Next proposal was SBSM, by Wes Hardaker.

- Creates a "session" and negotiates security in-band.
- Implemented in Net-SNMP
- Considerable concern from WG attendees about creating a new key
  exchange mechanism.
- Suggested that one should reuse another key exchange mechanism

Third proposal was EUSM, by Kaushik Narayan.

- Uses USM, but talks to a third party (AAA) server
- Implemented by people at Cisco.
- Concerns about key lifetime and robustness.

There was significant discussion about the proposals.  It was agreed
that an evaluation team should be used, and evaluation team members
were chosen.  The evaluation team members are:

Randy Presuhn <randy_presuhn@mindspring.com>
Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>
Uri Blumenthal <uri.blumenthal@intel.com>
Lakshminath Dondeti <ldondeti@nortelnetworks.com>

The evaluation team should make a decision by the end of November.

--Ken

Which brings us back to my question at the start of this thread:
how does the AAA server know *which* of the SNMP engine IDs
to use?  The information described in the proposal as flowing in
the RADIUS Key_Request   (Key (App ID),  Calling-Station-ID,
User-Name) is not sufficient to map to a single engine ID, since
there may be multiple SNMP engines in a single system.

Randy

[Joe] Yes I think we need an attribute to contain the SNMP Engine ID making
the request.  I'm not sure if we can use existing attributes to convey this
information, we may need to create a new one.  The AAA server still should
verify that the engine ID is authorized to the RADIUS client making the
request.

 Yes, AAA must receive the snmpEngineID in order to compute localized
key, and AAA should verify authorization. Re. newtributes - a new EAP
method is being defined anyway, right?

[Joe] Yes I think we need an attribute to contain the SNMP Engine ID
making
the request.  I'm not sure if we can use existing attributes to convey
this
information, we may need to create a new one.  The AAA server still
should
verify that the engine ID is authorized to the RADIUS client making the
request. =20

Hi Uri,

We should use existing EAP methods that generate keys, we don't really want
to create special methods for SNMP. 

There are basically three parts to the proposal.

1. Authenticated Key setup between SNMP manager and key server

This protocol should authenticate the user and the key server, establish a
strong key, and be flexible in mechanism.  We suggest using EAP in RADIUS.
The EAP framwework is useful because it integrates with AAA servers for
authentication. The EAP methods used should not be SNMP specific.  

2. Communication of keys from key server to SNMP agent

This requires secure transmission of the correct localized SNMPv3 keys from
key server to agent.  If the key server is co-located with the agent then
this is a local API matter.  If the key server is remote from the agent then
you can gain the benefit that one key setup procedure can be used to set up
a key that can be the basis for security for many agents.  We suggest using
some extensions to RADIUS for this key transport.  It would also be useful
to communicate other parameters such as VACM information to the agent in
this protocol as well.  RADIUS is useful since many entities containing
agents are RADIUS clients as well.  

3. EUSM enhancement to SNMPv3 between agent and manager

This is enhancements to SNMPv3 to support key material that is established
external to SNMP processing.  The main goal here was to keep changes to
SNMPv3 as minimal as possible.

Hi All,


There can be multiple schemes of authorization as discussed previously
on the list. You could verify the engine ID to authorize based on the identity
of the engine requesting the keys, there could also be policies for unknown
engine IDs which might be based on user access to agents.

regards,
   kaushik!

Would it make sense to leverage SNMP URIs in this context?

Hi,

Today I submitted draft-schoenw-snmp-tlsm-01.txt to internet-drafts
for publication. This is the updated version I referenced during the
meeting.
I recommend the eval team use the -02- version rather than the -00-
version.

Hi Juergen,

Are you suggesting the use of SNMP URIs to identify agents
and passed in the key request to the key server?

regards,
  kaushik!

I have not read the EUSM specs in detail - it just sounded from the
uniformed outside like you needed to identify SNMP service endpoints
which SNMP URIs are supposed to do (and they can carry engineIDs).

So take it as a suggestion to think about - I am not going to fight
for this if the folks who are much more familiar with EUSM think
this is a stupid suggestion. (Keith is involved in the SNMP URI
stuff and in EUSM so he should be able to give a quick answer.)

There is at least one non-SNMP situation (and there will likely be more
in the future), where a URL/URI format was selected as a generic
mechanism to identify management information (and how to access it).
In order to extend that one situation to include SNMP and MIB objects,
and because there was no standard method to use for such encoding, an
ad hoc method was used.  The "SNMP URI stuff" is trying to do catch-up
by specifying a standard and avoid future anarchy in such situations.

I think it would be overkill to use an URI in EUSM merely for the
purpose of encoding an engine-id.

Keith.

I wish you did not use the terms SNMP agent and SNMP manager; I am never
quite sure if that is what you mean, perhaps because manager-manager
communication has been an integral part of network management for me for
ages.

I think SNMPv3 got it right in principle with authoritative and
non-authoratitive engines, but might have found better words, easier to
say, spell and type:-(

I prefer client and server or in my own private jottings use autheng and
nautheng.

As the November deadline for the evaluation team is rapidly approaching, I was
wondering how the evaluation team was doing. Is it appropriate to ask, or is
the evaluation process done behind closed doors?

HI,

Tom - it is difficult to determine, since it was somewhat of a
passing reference, but you raised some red flags and may not
understand the SNMPv3 architecture and protocol. The terms
"authoritative and non-authoritative engineIDs" are NOT SNMPv3
protocol terms, but are specific to the user security model (USM).
The concept is required in USM due to the shared value of
a "clock" that is used to help with replay protection, and
to a lesser degree the shared identity (and keys) used for
message integrity and content privacy.

Other security models don't use the terms "authoritative
and non-autoritative engineIDs". Also, with USM these
terms do not map to "operation initiator and responder"
or "client and server".

So, I'm confused as to why you used them in complaining
about use of terms manager and agent. Would you explain.

Hi Tom,

Let mne respond to two threads within the current thread.

1) Distinguishing Entities

I suggest the better choice of wording to distinguish the roles of two
SNMPv3 entities is to discuss the application being used, per RFC3413.
Is each role one of command generator, command responder, notification
originator, notification receiver, proxy forwarder, or other
yet-to-be-defined application role? 

We deliberately stopped using agent and manager after the SNMPv2 and
its variations because too many entities do not fit the classic
definition of agent or manager, and the need to keep security vitual
databases on both the agent and receiver made it very complex to
determine whether an emtity was operating in an agent or manager role.

2) Authoritative and the SNMPv3 Architecture

The concept of an authoritative engine is part of the architecture
described in RFC3411 and RFC3412; it is part of the
generateRequestMsg(), processIncomingMsg(), generateResponseMsg() ASIs
between the message-processing subsystem and the security subsystem.
It is important to identify which virtual database should be used for
the security credentials when processing an SNMP message.
	
USM is the first concrete specification of how and when to utilize
authoritative credentials, and the SNMPv3 message format is the first
concrete specification of a message format which includes a
securityEngineID. RFC3412 section 7 is devoted to SNMPv3-message
processing (v3MP), and describes how the v3MP and potentially-multiple
security models share the knowledge of which engine is authoritative.
Another message processing model would be expected to pass the
authoritative engine between subsystems.

Different add-on message processing models and different add-on
security models may impact which engine is authoritative, and no
assumptions should be made that future usage will necessarily be
consistent with the v3MP/USM usage. The use of authoritative is rather
complex, and I recommend that it NOT be used to distinguish the
functional roles of the entities. I recommend it only be used when
discussing a specific security model's approach to authoritative.

General note on ASIs:

Note that RFC3411 and RFC3412 describe conceptual application service
interfaces (ASIs), which are present only to make it easier to develop
add-on modules, such as new security models. The ASIs of RFC3411 and
RFC3412 identify the conceptual information that theoretically is
necessary to share between architectural subsystems (and models of
those subsystems). When a security model uses an authoritative engine,
it shares the identity of the authoritative engine with the messaging
processing subsystem in the architecture via the securityEngineID
parameter of the relevant ASI.

The SNMPv3 design team recommended that the conceptual information
used within a subsystem's model SHOULD NOT be shared with other
subsystems, unless necessary, in order to prevent creating
dependencies between models of different subsystems, i.e. for "data
hiding" reasons. The avoidance of inter-subsystem dependencies was
very deliberately done to allow different models to advance in the
standards track independently of each other.

David

Thanks for puting me right - I was mixing up several ideas in my
enthusiasm to get away from the terminology of agent and manager (which
I always see as a bit rigid).

Funny, I was going to ask the same question but wait till Nov 1!

So, an update to the WG would certainly be nice.  If a decision is
reached, I know that the plans are to write up a draft to summarize
it, but a quick summary earlier on the list would be helpful.

The process has started, but not gotten very far; I was on another trip
after IETF, and was off most of last week, and I suspect many of the
evaluation team members were as will (I have a bunch of email to reply to
about this).

I was thinking of pushing back the deadline (since I doubt we're going to
meet it) for at least a couple of weeks, if no one objects (I haven't yet
consulted Juergen on this, so this isn't definite).

The requirements have been proposed on the mailing list (see the archives
for more detail).  As for the criteria ... "we're working on it".  A
I-D detailing these things should be forthcoming.

I was wondering about that too. On the one hand, I can see the benefits of a
'behind-closed-doors' evaluation, in that the evaluators wouldn't have to deal
with constantly defending their position, as they would if the whole process
took place on the mailing lists.

On the other hand, I'd hate to see an recommendation made based on a
misunderstanding of one of the proposals.

Hopefully at least the draft authors are involved, answering questions, and
that communication will be made available (or at least summarized) with the
recommendation.

I'd rather have a slightly late but more informed evaluation over an on-time
but rushed one...

Sigh...  The IETF has done many different ways of evaluating different
proposals in the past.  Generally they've all had problems of some
sort or another in every case.  In many of them in disastrous ways.
The worst thing about a closed-doors or limited-number-of-people
mechanism is that the industry could just give up if they came up with
a solution no one wanted ;-)

The ADs mandated a quick decision in order for the WG to exist.  If a
decision isn't made by March the WG is to be shutdown.  Unfortunately,
that may mean a less than ideal analysis process.  The flip side is
that we can't rathole.  Choose your poison.

I do have a very parochial reason for asking about the ISMS criteria
(and requirements) by which the proposals will be judged.=20

I first brought up the issue of SNMPv3 USM security inadequacies in the
SNMP mail list two years ago when I discovered how terribly USM played
in our environment. Partially due to my urging, Wes Hardaker and David
Perkins started the many BOFs that became the ISMS WG. If the ISMS
results won't produce an (SNMPv3) USM-like variant (or adjunct) that
cleanly works with PKI, then my efforts in arguing for the formation of
this WG would have been wasted. Consequently, I care very much about the
criteria by which the submissions are being judged.

I know that not every entity is deploying corporate-wide PKI
infrastructures, but I strongly believe that a prime requirement for
ISMS is that the selected protocol MUST be able to integrate with the
major existing corporate key management systems. These infrastructures
include PKI, Kerberos, RADIUS, and possibly a few others.

I also believe that the protocol MUST resolve the existing security
problems with SNMPv3 USM which are:
1) no provisions for two-factored authentication
2) SNMP symmetric keys may be assembled from passwords
3) Key updates do not provide for Perfect Forward Security
4) Inherent Symmetric Key distribution problems
5) Lack of viable session keys

I think we are still fine if we have a recommendation from the evaluation
team before Christmas.  This will be late but still in time to agree or
disagree on the recommendation on the mailing list and, in case of agreement,
to discuss a new charter before the next meeting in March.

The evaluators will have to defend their recommendation anyway.
And I never heard of a comparable process where after the recommendation
(or decision) nobody complained heavily about it.  Since these complaints
do not have a tendency to stop soon, the IESG gave us a short deadline
for the overall process.

Everybody does.

Since the decision will step on somebody's toes anyway,
the evaluators should be careful with stating progress
before their recommendation is final.

Thanks,
