             YANG Groupings for SSH Clients and SSH Servers

Abstract

   This document presents three IETF-defined YANG modules and the a script
   used to create four supporting IANA modules.

   The three IETF modules are ietf-ssh-common, ietf-ssh-client, and
   ietf-ssh-server.  The "ietf-ssh-client" and "ietf-ssh-server" modules
   are the primary productions of this work, supporting the
   configuration and monitoring of Secure Shell (SSH) clients and
   servers.

   The four IANA modules are iana-ssh-encryption-algs, iana-ssh-key-
   exchange-algs, iana-ssh-mac-algs, and iana-ssh-public-key-algs.
   These modules each define YANG enumerations providing support for an
   IANA-maintained algorithm registry.

1.  Introduction

   This document presents three IETF-defined YANG modules [RFC7950] and
   the
   a script used to create four supporting IANA modules.

   The three IETF modules are ietf-ssh-common (Section 2), ietf-ssh-
   client (Section 3), and ietf-ssh-server (Section 4).  The "ietf-ssh-
   client" and "ietf-ssh-server" modules are the primary productions of
   this work, supporting the configuration and monitoring of SSH clients
   and servers.

   The groupings defined in this document are expected to be used in
   conjunction with the groupings defined in an underlying transport-
   level module, such as the groupings defined in [RFC9643].  The
   transport-level data model enables the configuration of transport-
   level values, such as a remote address, a remote port, a local
   address, and a local port.

   The four IANA modules are: iana-ssh-encryption-algs, iana-ssh-key-
   exchange-algs, iana-ssh-mac-algs, and iana-ssh-public-key-algs.
   These modules each define YANG enumerations providing support for an
   IANA-maintained algorithm registry.

   This document assumes that the four IANA modules exist and presents a
   script in Appendix A that IANA may use to generate the those YANG
   modules.  This document does not publish the initial versions of
   these four modules.  IANA publishes these modules.

1.1.  Regarding the Three IETF Modules

   The three IETF modules define features and groupings to model
   "generic" SSH clients and SSH servers, where "generic" should be
   interpreted as "least common denominator" rather than "complete."
   Support for the basic SSH protocol [RFC4252] [RFC4253] [RFC4254] is
   afforded by these modules, leaving configuration of advanced features
   (e.g., multiple channels) to augmentations made by consuming modules.

   It is intended that the YANG groupings will be used by applications
   needing to configure SSH client and server protocol stacks.  For
   instance, these groupings are used to help define the data models in
   [NETCONF-CLIENT-SERVER], for clients and servers using the Network
   Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) over SSH [RFC6242].

   The "ietf-ssh-client" and "ietf-ssh-server" YANG modules each define
   one grouping, which is focused on just SSH-specific configuration,
   and specifically avoid any transport-level configuration, such as
   what ports to listen on or connect to.  This affords applications the
   opportunity to define their own strategy for how the underlying TCP
   connection is established.  For instance, applications supporting
   NETCONF Call Home [RFC8071] could use the "ssh-server-grouping"
   grouping for the SSH parts it provides while adding data nodes for
   the TCP-level call-home configuration.

   The modules defined in this document optionally support [RFC6187],
   which describes enabling host keys and public keys based on X.509v3
   certificates.

1.2.  Relation to Other RFCs

   This document presents three YANG modules [RFC7950] that are part of
   a collection of RFCs that work together to ultimately support the
   configuration of both the clients and servers of both the NETCONF
   [RFC6241] and RESTCONF [RFC8040] protocols.

   The dependency relationship between the primary YANG groupings
   defined in the various RFCs is presented in the below diagram.  In
   some cases, a document may define secondary groupings that introduce
   dependencies not illustrated in the diagram.  The labels in the
   diagram are shorthand names for the defining RFCs.  The citation
   references for shorthand names are provided below the diagram.

   Please note that the arrows in the diagram point from referencer to
   referenced.  For example, the "crypto-types" RFC does not have any
   dependencies, whilst the "keystore" RFC depends on the "crypto-types"
   RFC.

                                  crypto-types

1.3.  Specification Language

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
   BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
   capitals, as shown here.

1.4.  Adherence to the NMDA

   This document is compliant with the Network Management Datastore
   Architecture (NMDA) [RFC8342].  For instance, as described in
   [RFC9641] and [RFC9642], trust anchors and keys installed during
   manufacturing are expected to appear in <operational> (Section 5.3 of
   [RFC8342]) and <system> [SYSTEM-CONFIG] if implemented.

1.5.  Conventions

   Various examples in this document use "BASE64VALUE=" as a placeholder
   value for binary data that has been base64 encoded (per Section 9.8
   of [RFC7950]).  This placeholder value is used because real
   base64-encoded structures are often many lines long and hence
   distracting to the example being presented.

   Various examples in this document use the XML [W3C.REC-xml-20081126]
   encoding.  Other encodings, such as JSON [RFC8259], could
   alternatively be used.

   Various examples in this document contain long lines that may be
   folded, as described in [RFC8792].

2.  The "ietf-ssh-common" Module

   The SSH common model presented in this section is common to both SSH
   clients and SSH servers.  The "transport-params-grouping" grouping
   can be used to configure the list of SSH transport algorithms
   permitted by the SSH client or SSH server.  The lists of permitted
   algorithms are in decreasing order of usage preference.  The
   algorithm that appears first in the client list that also appears in
   the server list is the one that is used for the SSH transport layer
   connection.  The ability to restrict the algorithms allowed is
   provided in this grouping for SSH clients and SSH servers that are
   capable of doing so and may serve to make SSH clients and SSH servers
   compliant with security policies.

2.1.  Data Model Overview

   This section provides an overview of the "ietf-ssh-common" module in
   terms of its features, identities, groupings, and protocol-accessible
   nodes.

2.1.1.  Features

   The following diagram lists all the "feature" statements defined in
   the "ietf-ssh-common" module:

   Features:
     +-- ssh-x509-certs
     +-- transport-params
     +-- asymmetric-key-pair-generation
     +-- algorithm-discovery

   The diagram above uses syntax that is similar to but not defined in
   [RFC8340].

   Please refer to the YANG module for a description of each feature.

2.1.2.  Groupings

   The "ietf-ssh-common" module defines the following "grouping"
   statement:

   *  transport-params-grouping

   This grouping is presented in the following subsection.

2.1.2.1.  The "transport-params-grouping" Grouping

   The following tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrates the "transport-
   params-grouping" grouping:

     grouping transport-params-grouping:
       +-- host-key
       |  +-- host-key-alg*   ssh-public-key-algorithm
       +-- key-exchange
       |  +-- key-exchange-alg*   ssh-key-exchange-algorithm
       +-- encryption
       |  +-- encryption-alg*   ssh-encryption-algorithm
       +-- mac
          +-- mac-alg*   ssh-mac-algorithm

   Comments:

   *  This grouping is used by both the "ssh-client-grouping" and the
      "ssh-server-grouping" groupings defined in Sections 3.1.2.1 and
      4.1.2.1, respectively.

   *  This grouping enables client and server configurations to specify
      the algorithms that are to be used when establishing SSH sessions.

   *  Each list is "ordered-by user".

2.1.3.  Protocol-Accessible Nodes

   The following tree diagram [RFC8340] lists all the protocol-
   accessible nodes defined in the "ietf-ssh-common" module without
   expanding the "grouping" statements:

   module: ietf-ssh-common
     +--ro supported-algorithms {algorithm-discovery}?
        +--ro public-key-algorithms
        |  +--ro supported-algorithm*   ssh-public-key-algorithm
        +--ro encryption-algorithms
        |  +--ro supported-algorithm*   ssh-encryption-algorithm
        +--ro key-exchange-algorithms
        |  +--ro supported-algorithm*   ssh-key-exchange-algorithm
        +--ro mac-algorithms
           +--ro supported-algorithm*   ssh-mac-algorithm

     rpcs:
       +---x generate-asymmetric-key-pair
               {asymmetric-key-pair-generation}?
          +---w input
          |  +---w algorithm               ssh-public-key-algorithm
          |  +---w num-bits?               uint16
          |  +---w private-key-encoding
          |     +---w (private-key-encoding)
          |        +--:(cleartext) {ct:cleartext-private-keys}?
          |        |  +---w cleartext?   empty
          |        +--:(encrypted) {ct:encrypted-private-keys}?
          |        |  +---w encrypted
          |        |     +---w ks:encrypted-by-grouping
          |        +--:(hidden) {ct:hidden-private-keys}?
          |           +---w hidden?      empty
          +--ro output
             +--ro (key-or-hidden)?
                +--:(key)
                |  +---u ct:asymmetric-key-pair-grouping
                +--:(hidden)
                   +--ro location?
                           instance-identifier

   Comments:

   *  Protocol-accessible nodes are those nodes that are accessible when
      the module is "implemented", as described in Section 5.6.5 of
      [RFC7950].

   *  The protocol-accessible nodes for the "ietf-ssh-common" module are
      limited to the "supported-algorithms" container, which is
      constrained by the "algorithm-discovery" feature, and the
      "generate-asymmetric-key-pair" RPC, which is constrained by the
      "asymmetric-key-pair-generation" feature.

   *  The "encrypted-by-grouping" grouping is discussed in
      Section 2.1.3.1 of [RFC9642].

   *  The "asymmetric-key-pair-grouping" grouping is discussed in
      Section 2.1.4.6 of [RFC9640].

2.2.  Example Usage

3.  The "ietf-ssh-client" Module

   This section defines a YANG 1.1 [RFC7950] module called "ietf-ssh-
   client".  A high-level overview of the module is provided in
   Section 3.1.  Examples illustrating the module's use are provided in
   Section 3.2 ("Example Usage").  The YANG module itself is defined in
   Section 3.3.

3.1.  Data Model Overview

   This section provides an overview of the "ietf-ssh-client" module in
   terms of its features and groupings.

3.1.1.  Features

   The following diagram lists all the "feature" statements defined in
   the "ietf-ssh-client" module:

   Features:
     +-- ssh-client-keepalives
     +-- client-ident-password
     +-- client-ident-publickey
     +-- client-ident-hostbased
     +-- client-ident-none

   The diagram above uses syntax that is similar to but not defined in
   [RFC8340].

   Please refer to the YANG module for a description of each feature.

3.1.2.  Groupings

   The "ietf-ssh-client" module defines the following "grouping"
   statement:

   *  ssh-client-grouping

   This grouping is presented in the following subsection.

3.1.2.1.  The "ssh-client-grouping" Grouping

   The following tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrates the "ssh-client-
   grouping" grouping:

   =============== NOTE: '\' line wrapping per RFC 8792 ================

     grouping ssh-client-grouping:
       +-- client-identity
       |  +-- username?      string
       |  +-- public-key! {client-ident-publickey}?
       |  |  +---u ks:inline-or-keystore-asymmetric-key-grouping
       |  +-- password! {client-ident-password}?
       |  |  +---u ct:password-grouping
       |  +-- hostbased! {client-ident-hostbased}?
       |  |  +---u ks:inline-or-keystore-asymmetric-key-grouping
       |  +-- none?          empty {client-ident-none}?
       |  +-- certificate! {sshcmn:ssh-x509-certs}?
       |     +---u ks:inline-or-keystore-end-entity-cert-with-key-group\
   ing
       +-- server-authentication
       |  +-- ssh-host-keys!
       |  |  +---u ts:inline-or-truststore-public-keys-grouping
       |  +-- ca-certs! {sshcmn:ssh-x509-certs}?
       |  |  +---u ts:inline-or-truststore-certs-grouping
       |  +-- ee-certs! {sshcmn:ssh-x509-certs}?
       |     +---u ts:inline-or-truststore-certs-grouping
       +-- transport-params {sshcmn:transport-params}?
       |  +---u sshcmn:transport-params-grouping
       +-- keepalives! {ssh-client-keepalives}?
          +-- max-wait?       uint16
          +-- max-attempts?   uint8

   Comments:

   *  The "client-identity" node configures a "username" and
      authentication methods, each enabled by a "feature" statement
      defined in Section 3.1.1.

   *  The "server-authentication" node configures trust anchors for
      authenticating the SSH server, with each option enabled by a
      "feature" statement.

   *  The "transport-params" node, which must be enabled by a feature,
      configures parameters for the SSH sessions established by this
      configuration.

   *  The "keepalives" node, which must be enabled by a feature,
      configures a "presence" container for testing the aliveness of the
      SSH server.  The aliveness-test occurs at the SSH protocol layer.

   *  For the referenced grouping statements:

      -  The "inline-or-keystore-asymmetric-key-grouping" grouping is
         discussed in Section 2.1.3.4 of [RFC9642].

      -  The "inline-or-keystore-end-entity-cert-with-key-grouping"
         grouping is discussed in Section 2.1.3.6 of [RFC9642].

      -  The "inline-or-truststore-public-keys-grouping" grouping is
         discussed in Section 2.1.3.4 of [RFC9641].

      -  The "inline-or-truststore-certs-grouping" grouping is discussed
         in Section 2.1.3.3 of [RFC9641].

      -  The "transport-params-grouping" grouping is discussed in
         Section 2.1.2.1 in this document.

3.1.3.  Protocol-Accessible Nodes

   The "ietf-ssh-client" module defines only "grouping" statements that
   are used by other modules to instantiate protocol-accessible nodes.
   Thus, this module, when implemented, does not itself define any
   protocol-accessible nodes.

3.2.  Example Usage

   This section presents two examples showing the "ssh-client-grouping"
   grouping populated with some data.  These examples are effectively
   the same, except the first configures the client identity using an
   inlined key, while the second uses a key configured in a keystore.
   Both examples are consistent with the examples presented in
   Section 2.2.1 of [RFC9641] and Section 2.2.1 of [RFC9642].

   The following configuration example uses inline-definitions for the
   client identity and server authentication:

   =============== NOTE: '\' line wrapping per RFC 8792 ================

   <!-- The outermost element below doesn't exist in the data model. -->
   <!--  It simulates if the "grouping" were a "container" instead.  -->

   <ssh-client

     <client-identity>
       <username>foobar</username>

         <inline-definition>
           <private-key-format>ct:rsa-private-key-format</private-key-f\

           <cleartext-private-key>BASE64VALUE=</cleartext-private-key>
         </inline-definition>
       </public-key>

           <certificate>
             <name>Server Cert Issuer #2</name>

     <keepalives>
       <max-wait>30</max-wait>
       <max-attempts>3</max-attempts>
     </keepalives>

   </ssh-client>

   The following configuration example uses central-keystore-references
   for the client identity and central-truststore-references for server
   authentication from the keystore:

   =============== NOTE: '\' line wrapping per RFC 8792 ================

   <!-- The outermost element below doesn't exist in the data model. -->
   <!--  It simulates if the "grouping" were a "container" instead.  -->

4.  The "ietf-ssh-server" Module

   This section defines a YANG 1.1 module called "ietf-ssh-server".  A
   high-level overview of the module is provided in Section 4.1.
   Examples illustrating the module's use are provided in Section 4.2
   ("Example Usage").  The YANG module itself is defined in Section 4.3.

4.1.  Data Model Overview

   This section provides an overview of the "ietf-ssh-server" module in
   terms of its features and groupings.

4.1.1.  Features

   The following diagram lists all the "feature" statements defined in
   the "ietf-ssh-server" module:

   Features:
     +-- ssh-server-keepalives
     +-- local-users-supported
     +-- local-user-auth-publickey {local-users-supported}?
     +-- local-user-auth-password {local-users-supported}?
     +-- local-user-auth-hostbased {local-users-supported}?
     +-- local-user-auth-none {local-users-supported}?

   The diagram above uses syntax that is similar to but not defined in
   [RFC8340].

   Please refer to the YANG module for a description of each feature.

4.1.2.  Groupings

   The "ietf-ssh-server" module defines the following "grouping"
   statement:

   *  ssh-server-grouping

   This grouping is presented in the following subsection.

4.1.2.1.  The "ssh-server-grouping" Grouping

   The following tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrates the "ssh-server-
   grouping" grouping:

   =============== NOTE: '\' line wrapping per RFC 8792 ================

     grouping ssh-server-grouping:
       +-- server-identity
       |  +-- host-key* [name]
       |     +-- name                string
       |     +-- (host-key-type)
       |        +--:(public-key)
       |        |  +-- public-key
       |        |     +---u ks:inline-or-keystore-asymmetric-key-groupi\
   ng
       |        +--:(certificate)
       |           +-- certificate {sshcmn:ssh-x509-certs}?
       |              +---u ks:inline-or-keystore-end-entity-cert-with-\
   key-grouping
       +-- client-authentication
       |  +-- users {local-users-supported}?
       |  |  +-- user* [name]
       |  |     +-- name          string
       |  |     +-- public-keys! {local-user-auth-publickey}?
       |  |     |  +---u ts:inline-or-truststore-public-keys-grouping
       |  |     +-- password
       |  |     |  +-- hashed-password?   ianach:crypt-hash
       |  |     |  |       {local-user-auth-password}?
       |  |     |  +--ro last-modified?     yang:date-and-time
       |  |     +-- hostbased! {local-user-auth-hostbased}?
       |  |     |  +---u ts:inline-or-truststore-public-keys-grouping
       |  |     +-- none?          empty {local-user-auth-none}?
       |  +-- ca-certs! {sshcmn:ssh-x509-certs}?
       |  |  +---u ts:inline-or-truststore-certs-grouping
       |  +-- ee-certs! {sshcmn:ssh-x509-certs}?
       |     +---u ts:inline-or-truststore-certs-grouping
       +-- transport-params {sshcmn:transport-params}?
       |  +---u sshcmn:transport-params-grouping
       +-- keepalives! {ssh-server-keepalives}?
          +-- max-wait?       uint16
          +-- max-attempts?   uint8

   Comments:

   *  The "server-identity" node configures the authentication methods
      the server can use to identify itself to clients.  The ability to
      use a certificate is enabled by a "feature".

   *  The "client-authentication" node configures trust anchors for
      authenticating the SSH client, with each option enabled by a
      "feature" statement.

   *  The "transport-params" node, which must be enabled by a feature,
      configures parameters for the SSH sessions established by this
      configuration.

   *  The "keepalives" node, which must be enabled by a feature,
      configures a "presence" container for testing the aliveness of the
      SSH client.  The aliveness-test occurs at the SSH protocol layer.

   *  For the referenced grouping statements:

      -  The "inline-or-keystore-asymmetric-key-grouping" grouping is
         discussed in Section 2.1.3.4 of [RFC9642].

      -  The "inline-or-keystore-end-entity-cert-with-key-grouping"
         grouping is discussed in Section 2.1.3.6 of [RFC9642].

      -  The "inline-or-truststore-public-keys-grouping" grouping is
         discussed in Section 2.1.3.4 of [RFC9641].

      -  The "inline-or-truststore-certs-grouping" grouping is discussed
         in Section 2.1.3.3 of [RFC9641].

      -  The "transport-params-grouping" grouping is discussed in
         Section 2.1.2.1 in this document.

4.1.3.  Protocol-Accessible Nodes

   The "ietf-ssh-server" module defines only "grouping" statements that
   are used by other modules to instantiate protocol-accessible nodes.
   Thus, this module, when implemented, does not itself define any
   protocol-accessible nodes.

4.2.  Example Usage

   This section presents two examples showing the "ssh-server-grouping"
   grouping populated with some data.  These examples are effectively
   the same, except the first configures the server identity using an
   inlined key, while the second uses a key configured in a keystore.
   Both examples are consistent with the examples presented in
   Section 2.2.1 of [RFC9641] and Section 2.2.1 of [RFC9642].

   The following configuration example uses inline-definitions for the
   server identity and client authentication:

   =============== NOTE: '\' line wrapping per RFC 8792 ================

   <!-- The outermost element below doesn't exist in the data model. -->
   <!--  It simulates if the "grouping" were a "container" instead.  -->

   The following configuration example uses central-keystore-references
   for the server identity and central-truststore-references for client
   authentication from the keystore:

5.  Security Considerations

   The three IETF YANG modules in this document define groupings and
   will not be deployed as standalone modules.  Their security
   implications may be context-dependent based on their use in other
   modules.  The designers of modules that import these groupings must
   conduct their own analysis of the security considerations.

   This section is modeled after the template defined in Section 3.7.1
   of [RFC8407].

   The "iana-ssh-key-exchange-algs" YANG module defines a data model
   that is designed to be accessed via YANG-based management protocols,
   such as NETCONF [RFC6241] and RESTCONF [RFC8040].  These protocols
   have mandatory-to-implement secure transport layers (e.g., Secure
   Shell (SSH) [RFC4252], TLS [RFC8446], and QUIC [RFC9000]) and
   mandatory-to-implement mutual authentication

   The Network Configuration Access Control Model (NACM) [RFC8341]
   provides the means to restrict access for particular users to a
   preconfigured subset of all available protocol operations and
   content.

   This YANG module defines YANG enumerations for a public IANA-
   maintained registry.

   YANG enumerations are not security-sensitive, as they are statically
   defined in the publicly accessible YANG module.  IANA MAY deprecate
   and/or obsolete enumerations over time as needed to address security
   issues found in the algorithms.

   This module does not define any writable nodes, RPCs, actions, or
   notifications, and thus, the security considerations for such are not
   provided here.

5.2.  Considerations for the "iana-ssh-encryption-algs" Module

   This section is modeled after the template defined in Section 3.7.1
   of [RFC8407].

   The "iana-ssh-encryption-algs" YANG module defines a data model that
   is designed to be accessed via YANG-based management protocols, such
   as NETCONF [RFC6241] and RESTCONF [RFC8040].  These protocols have
   mandatory-to-implement secure transport layers (e.g., Secure Shell
   (SSH) [RFC4252], TLS [RFC8446], and QUIC [RFC9000]) and mandatory-to-
   implement mutual authentication.

5.4.  Considerations for the "iana-ssh-public-key-algs" Module

   This section is modeled after the template defined in Section 3.7.1
   of [RFC8407].

   The "iana-ssh-public-key-algs" YANG module defines a data model that
   is designed to be accessed via YANG-based management protocols, such
   as NETCONF [RFC6241] and RESTCONF [RFC8040].  These protocols have

   provided here.

5.5.  Considerations for the "ietf-ssh-common" YANG Module

   This section is modeled after the template defined in Section 3.7.1
   of [RFC8407].

   The "ietf-ssh-common" YANG module defines a data model that is
   designed to be accessed via YANG-based management protocols, such as
   NETCONF [RFC6241] and RESTCONF [RFC8040].  These protocols have
   mandatory-to-implement secure transport layers (e.g., Secure Shell
   (SSH) [RFC4252], TLS [RFC8446], and QUIC [RFC9000]) and mandatory-to-
   implement mutual authentication.

   The Network Configuration Access Control Model (NACM) [RFC8341]
   provides the means to restrict access for particular users to a
   preconfigured subset of all available protocol operations and
   content.

   Please be aware that this YANG module uses groupings from other YANG
   modules that define nodes that may be considered sensitive or
   vulnerable in network environments.  Please review the security
   considerations for dependent YANG modules for information as to which
   nodes may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in network
   environments.

   None of the readable data nodes defined in this YANG module are
   considered sensitive or vulnerable in network environments.  The NACM
   "default-deny-all" extension has not been set for any data nodes
   defined in this module.

   None of the writable data nodes defined in this YANG module are
   considered sensitive or vulnerable in network environments.  The NACM
   "default-deny-write" extension has not been set for any data nodes
   defined in this module.

   This module defines the "generate-asymmetric-key-pair" RPC, which
   may, if the "ct:cleartext-private-keys" feature is enabled and the
   client requests it, return the private clear in cleartext form.  It
   is NOT RECOMMENDED for private keys to pass the server's security
   perimeter.

   This module does not define any actions or notifications, and thus,
   the security considerations for such are not provided here.

5.6.  Considerations for the "ietf-ssh-client" YANG Module

   This section is modeled after the template defined in Section 3.7.1
   of [RFC8407].

   The "ietf-ssh-client" YANG module defines "grouping" statements that
   are designed to be accessed via YANG-based management protocols, such
   as NETCONF [RFC6241] and RESTCONF [RFC8040].  These protocols have
   mandatory-to-implement secure transport layers (e.g., Secure Shell
   (SSH) [RFC4252], TLS [RFC8446], and QUIC [RFC9000]) and mandatory-to-
   implement mutual authentication.

   The Network Configuration Access Control Model (NACM) [RFC8341]
   provides the means to restrict access for particular users to a
   preconfigured subset of all available protocol operations and
   content.

   Please be aware that this YANG module uses groupings from other YANG
   modules that define nodes that may be considered sensitive or
   vulnerable in network environments.  Please review the security
   considerations for dependent YANG modules for information as to which
   nodes may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in network
   environments.

   One readable data node defined in this YANG module may be considered
   sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments.  This node is
   as follows:

   *  The "client-identity/password" node:

         The cleartext "password" node defined in the "ssh-client-
         grouping" grouping is additionally sensitive to read operations
         such that, in normal use cases, it should never be returned to
         a client.  For this reason, the NACM extension "default-deny-
         all" has been applied to it.

   All the writable data nodes defined by this module may be considered
   sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments.  For instance,
   any modification to a key or reference to a key may dramatically
   alter the implemented security policy.  For this reason, the NACM
   extension "default-deny-write" has been set for all data nodes
   defined in this module.

   This module does not define any RPCs, actions, or notifications, and
   thus, the security considerations for such are not provided here.

5.7.  Considerations for the "ietf-ssh-server" YANG Module

   This section is modeled after the template defined in Section 3.7.1
   of [RFC8407].

   The "ietf-ssh-server" YANG module defines "grouping" statements that
   are designed to be accessed via YANG-based management protocols, such
   as NETCONF [RFC6241] and RESTCONF [RFC8040].  These protocols have
   mandatory-to-implement secure transport layers (e.g., Secure Shell
   (SSH) [RFC4252], TLS [RFC8446], and QUIC [RFC9000]) and mandatory-to-
   implement mutual authentication.

   The Network Configuration Access Control Model (NACM) [RFC8341]
   provides the means to restrict access for particular users to a
   preconfigured subset of all available protocol operations and
   content.

   Please be aware that this YANG module uses groupings from other YANG
   modules that define nodes that may be considered sensitive or
   vulnerable in network environments.  Please review the security
   considerations for dependent YANG modules for information as to which
   nodes may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in network
   environments.

   None of the readable data nodes defined in this YANG module are
   considered sensitive or vulnerable in network environments.  The NACM
   "default-deny-all" extension has not been set for any data nodes
   defined in this module.

   All the writable data nodes defined by this module may be considered
   sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments.  For instance,
   the addition or removal of references to keys, certificates, trusted
   anchors, etc., or even the modification of transport or keepalive
   parameters can dramatically alter the implemented security policy.
   For this reason, the NACM extension "default-deny-write" has been set
   for all data nodes defined in this module.

   This module does not define any RPCs, actions, or notifications, and
   thus, the security considerations for such are not provided here.

6.  IANA Considerations

6.1.  The IETF XML Registry

   IANA has registered seven URIs in the "ns" registry of the "IETF XML
   Registry" [RFC3688] as follows.

   Registrant Contact:  The IESG
   XML:  N/A; the requested URI is an XML namespace.

6.2.  The YANG Module Names Registry

   IANA has registered seven YANG modules in the "YANG Module Names"
   registry [RFC6020] as follows.

   Name:  iana-ssh-key-exchange-algs
   Namespace:  urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:iana-ssh-key-exchange-algs
   Prefix:  sshkea
   Reference:  RFC 9644

   Name:  iana-ssh-encryption-algs

   Namespace:  urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-ssh-server
   Prefix:  sshs
   Reference:  RFC 9644

6.3.  Considerations for the "iana-ssh-encryption-algs" Module

   This section follows the template defined in Section 4.30.3.1 of
   [YANG-GUIDE].

   This document presents a script (see Appendix A) for IANA to use to
   generate the IANA-maintained "iana-ssh-encryption-algs" YANG module.
   The most recent version of the YANG module is available in the "YANG
   Parameters" registry group [IANA-YANG-PARAMETERS].

   IANA has added the following note to the registry:

   |  New values must not be directly added to the "iana-ssh-encryption-
   |  algs" YANG module.  They must instead be added to the "Encryption
   |  Algorithm Names" registry of the "Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol
   |  Parameters" registry group [IANA-ENC-ALGS].

   When a value is added to the "Encryption Algorithm Names" registry, a
   new "enum" statement must be added to the "iana-ssh-encryption-algs"
   YANG module.  The "enum" statement, and substatements thereof, should
   be defined as follows:

   enum
      Replicates a name from the registry.

   value
      Contains the decimal value of the IANA-assigned value.

   status
      Include only if a registration has been deprecated or obsoleted.
      An IANA "Note" containing the word "HISTORIC" maps to YANG status
      "obsolete".  Since the registry is unable to express a "SHOULD
      NOT" recommendation, there is no mapping to YANG status
      "deprecated".

   description
      Contains "Enumeration for the 'foo-bar' algorithm.", where "foo-
      bar" is a placeholder for the algorithm's name (e.g., "3des-cbc").

   reference
      Replicates the reference(s) from the registry with the title of
      the document(s) added.

   Unassigned or reserved values are not present in the module.

   When the "iana-ssh-encryption-algs" YANG module is updated, a new
   "revision" statement with a unique revision date must be added in
   front of the existing revision statements.  The "revision" must have
   a "description" statement explaining why the update occurred and must
   have a "reference" substatement that points to the document defining
   the registry update that resulted in this change.  For instance:

   revision 2024-02-02 {
       description
         "This update reflects the update made to the underlying
          Foo Bar registry per RFC XXXX.";
     reference
         "RFC XXXX: Extend the Foo Bars Registry
                    to Support Something Important";
   }

   IANA has added the following note to the "Encryption Algorithm Names"
   registry.

   |  When this registry is modified, the YANG module "iana-ssh-
   |  encryption-algs" [IANA-YANG-PARAMETERS] must be updated as defined
   |  in RFC 9644.

6.4.  Considerations for the "iana-ssh-mac-algs" Module

   This section follows the template defined in Section 4.30.3.1 of
   [YANG-GUIDE].

   This document presents a script (see Appendix A) for IANA to use to
   generate the IANA-maintained "iana-ssh-mac-algs" YANG module.  The
   most recent version of the YANG module is available in the "YANG
   Parameters" registry group [IANA-YANG-PARAMETERS].

   IANA has added the following note to the registry:

   |  New values must not be directly added to the "iana-ssh-mac-algs"
   |  YANG module.  They must instead be added to the "MAC Algorithm
   |  Names" registry of the "Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol Parameters"
   |  registry group [IANA-MAC-ALGS].

   When a value is added to the "MAC Algorithm Names" registry, a new
   "enum" statement must be added to the "iana-ssh-mac-algs" YANG
   module.  The "enum" statement, and substatements thereof, should be
   defined as follows:

   enum
      Replicates a name from the registry.

   value
      Contains the decimal value of the IANA-assigned value.

   status
      Include only if a registration has been deprecated or obsoleted.

   description
      Contains "Enumeration for the 'foo-bar' algorithm.", where "foo-
      bar" is a placeholder for the algorithm's name (e.g., "3des-cbc").

   reference
      Replicates the reference(s) from the registry with the title of
      the document(s) added.

   Unassigned or reserved values are not present in the module.

   When the "iana-ssh-mac-algs" YANG module is updated, a new "revision"
   statement with a unique revision date must be added in front of the
   existing revision statements.  The "revision" must have a
   "description" statement explaining why the update occurred and must
   have a "reference" substatement that points to the document defining
   the registry update that resulted in this change.  For instance:

   revision 2024-02-02 {
       description
         "This update reflects the update made to the underlying
          Foo Bar registry per RFC XXXX.";
     reference
         "RFC XXXX: Extend the Foo Bars Registry
                    to Support Something Important";
   }

   IANA has added the following note to the "MAC Algorithm Names"
   registry.

   |  When this registry is modified, the YANG module "iana-ssh-mac-
   |  algs" [IANA-YANG-PARAMETERS] must be updated as defined in RFC
   |  9644.

6.5.  Considerations for the "iana-ssh-public-key-algs" Module

   This section follows the template defined in Section 4.30.3.1 of
   [YANG-GUIDE].

   This document presents a script (see Appendix A) for IANA to use to
   generate the IANA-maintained "iana-ssh-public-key-algs" YANG module.
   The most recent version of the YANG module is available in the "YANG
   Parameters" registry group [IANA-YANG-PARAMETERS].

   IANA has added the following note to the registry:

   |  New values must not be directly added to the "iana-ssh-public-key-
   |  algs" YANG module.  They must instead be added to the "Public Key
   |  Algorithm Names" registry of the "Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol
   |  Parameters" registry group [IANA-PUBKEY-ALGS].

   When a value is added to the "Public Key Algorithm Names" registry, a
   new "enum" statement must be added to the "iana-ssh-public-key-algs"
   YANG module.  The "enum" statement, and substatements thereof, should
   be defined as follows:

   enum
      Replicates a name from the registry.

   value
      Contains the decimal value of the IANA-assigned value.

   status
      Include only if a registration has been deprecated or obsoleted.

   description
      Contains "Enumeration for the 'foo-bar' algorithm.", where "foo-
      bar" is a placeholder for the algorithm's name (e.g., "3des-cbc").

   reference
      Replicates the reference(s) from the registry with the title of
      the document(s) added.

   In the case that the algorithm name ends with "-*", the family of
   enumerations must be added.  The family of enum algorithm names are
   generated by replacing the "*" character with these strings:
   "nistp256", "nistp384", "nistp521", "1.3.132.0.1",
   "1.2.840.10045.3.1.1", "1.3.132.0.33", "1.3.132.0.26",
   "1.3.132.0.27", "1.3.132.0.16", "1.3.132.0.36", "1.3.132.0.37", and
   "1.3.132.0.38".

   Unassigned or reserved values are not present in the module.

   When the "iana-ssh-public-key-algs" YANG module is updated, a new
   "revision" statement with a unique revision date must be added in
   front of the existing revision statements.  The "revision" must have
   a "description" statement explaining why the update occurred and must
   have a "reference" substatement that points to the document defining
   the registry update that resulted in this change.  For instance:

     reference
         "RFC XXXX: Extend the Foo Bars Registry
                    to Support Something Important";
   }

   IANA has added the following note to the "Public Key Algorithm Names"
   registry.

   |  When this registry is modified, the YANG module "iana-ssh-public-
   |  key-algs" [IANA-YANG-PARAMETERS] must be updated as defined in RFC
   |  9644.

6.6.  Considerations for the "iana-ssh-key-exchange-algs" Module

   value
      Contains the decimal value of the IANA-assigned value.

   status
      Include only if a registration has been deprecated or obsoleted.
      An IANA "OK to Implement" containing "SHOULD NOT" maps to YANG
      status "deprecated".  An IANA "OK to Implement" containing "MUST
      NOT" maps to YANG status "obsolete".

   description

Appendix A.  Script to Generate IANA-Maintained YANG Modules

   This section is not normative.

   The Python <https://www.python.org> script contained in this section
   will create the four IANA-maintained modules that are described (but
   not contained) in this document.

   Run the script using the command "python gen-yang-modules.py" to
   produce four YANG module files in the current directory.

   Be aware that the script does not attempt to copy the "revision"
   statements from the previous/current YANG module.  Copying the
   revision statements must be done manually.
