A YANG Data Model for Challenge-Response-Based Remote Attestation
(CHARRA) Procedures Using Trusted Platform Modules (TPMs)
Abstract
This document defines the YANG Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs) and
configuration nodes that are required to retrieve attestation
evidence about integrity measurements from a device, following the
operational context defined in RFC 9683 "TPM-based Network Device
Remote Integrity Verification". Complementary measurement logs
originating from one or more Roots of Trust for Measurement (RTMs)
are also provided by the YANG RPCs. The module defined module requires the
inclusion of the following in the device components of the composite
device on which the YANG server is running: at least one TPM Trusted
Platform Module (TPM) of either version 1.2 or TPM 2.0 as well as a
corresponding TPM Software Stack (TSS), or an equivalent hardware implementations
implementation that include includes the protected capabilities as provided
by TPMs as well as a corresponding software stack, included in the device components of the composite
device the YANG server is running on. stack.

1. Introduction
This document is based on the general terminology defined in Remote
ATtestation procedureS (RATS) architecture [RFC9334] and uses the
operational context defined in [RFC9683] as well as the interaction
model and information elements defined in [RATS-Interaction-Models].
The currently supported hardware security modules (HSMs) are the
Trusted Platform Modules (TPMs) [TPM1.2] [TPM2.0] as specified by the
Trusted Computing Group (TCG). One TPM, or multiple TPMs in the case
of a composite device, is required in order to use the YANG module
defined in this document. Each TPM is used as a Root of Trust for
Storage (RTS) in order to store system security measurement Evidence.
And each TPM is used as a Root of Trust for Reporting (RTR) in order
to retrieve attestation Evidence. This is done by using a YANG RPC
to request a quote that exposes a rolling hash of the security
measurements held internally within the TPM.
Specific terms imported from [RFC9334] and used in this document
include Attester, composite device, and Evidence.
Specific terms imported from [TPM2.0-Key] and used in this document
include Endorsement Key (EK), Initial Attestation Key (IAK),
Attestation Identity Key (AIK), and Local Attestation Key (LAK).
1.1. Requirements Notation
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.
2. The YANG Module for Basic Remote Attestation Procedures
One or more TPMs MUST be embedded in a composite device that provides
attestation Evidence via the YANG module defined in this document.
The ietf-tpm-remote-attestation YANG module enables a composite
device to take on the role of an Attester, in accordance with the
RATS architecture [RFC9334] and the corresponding challenge-response
interaction model defined in [RATS-Interaction-Models]. A fresh
nonce with an appropriate amount of entropy [NIST-915121] MUST be
supplied by the YANG client in order to enable a proof-of-freshness
with respect to the attestation Evidence provided by the Attester
running the YANG datastore. Further, this nonce is used to prevent
replay attacks. The method for communicating the relationship of
each individual TPM to the specific measured component within the
composite device is out of the scope of this document.
2.1. YANG Modules
In this section, the two YANG modules are defined.
2.1.1. ietf-tpm-remote-attestation
This YANG module imports modules from [RFC6991] with prefix 'yang',
[RFC8348] with prefix 'hw', [RFC9642] with prefix 'ks', and ietf-tcg-
algs.yang Section 2.1.2.3 with prefix 'taa'. Additionally,
references are made to [RFC6933], [TPM1.2-Commands], [TPM2.0-Arch],
[TPM2.0-Structures], [TPM2.0-Key], [TPM1.2-Structures], [BIOS-Log],
[BIOS-Log-Event-Type],
and [CEL], as well as Appendix B.
2.1.1.1. Features
This module supports the following features:
'mtpm': Indicates that multiple TPMs on the device can support
remote attestation. For example, this feature could be used in
cases where multiple line cards are present, each with its own
TPM.
'bios': Indicates that the device supports the retrieval of BIOS and
Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) event logs
[BIOS-Log].
'ima': Indicates that the device supports the retrieval of event
logs from the Linux Integrity Measurement Architecture (IMA, see
Appendix A).
'netequip_boot': Indicates that the device supports the retrieval of
netequip boot event logs. See Appendixes A and B.
2.1.1.2. Identities
This module supports the following types of attestation event logs:
'bios', 'ima', and 'netequip_boot'.
2.1.1.3. Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs)
In the following sections, RPCs for attestation procedures for both
TPM 1.2 and TPM 2.0 are defined.
2.1.1.3.1. tpm12-challenge-response-attestation
This RPC allows a Verifier to request via the _TPM Quote_ operation,
signed TPM PCRs (_TPM Quote_
operation) Platform Configuration Registers (PCRs) from a
cryptoprocessor compliant with TPM 1.2. Where the feature 'mtpm' is
active, and one or more 'certificate-name' is not provided, all
cryptoprocessors compliant with TPM 1.2 will respond. The YANG tree
diagram of this RPC is as follows:
+---x tpm12-challenge-response-attestation {taa:tpm12}?
+---w input
| +---w tpm12-attestation-challenge
| +---w pcr-index* pcr
| +---w nonce-value binary
| +---w certificate-name* certificate-name-ref
| {tpm:mtpm}?
+--ro output
+--ro tpm12-attestation-response* []
+--ro certificate-name certificate-name-ref
+--ro up-time? uint32
+--ro TPM_QUOTE2? binary
2.1.1.3.2. tpm20-challenge-response-attestation
This RPC allows a Verifier to request signed TPM PCRs (_TPM Quote_
operation) from a cryptoprocessor compliant with TPM 2.0. Where the
feature 'mtpm' is active, and one or more 'certificate-name' is not
provided, all cryptoprocessors compliant with TPM 2.0 will respond.
The YANG tree diagram of this RPC is as follows:
+---x tpm20-challenge-response-attestation {taa:tpm20}?
+---w input
| +---w tpm20-attestation-challenge
| +---w nonce-value binary
| +---w tpm20-pcr-selection* []
| | +---w tpm20-hash-algo? identityref
| | +---w pcr-index* pcr
| +---w certificate-name* certificate-name-ref
| {tpm:mtpm}?
+--ro output
+--ro tpm20-attestation-response* []
+--ro certificate-name certificate-name-ref
+--ro TPMS_QUOTE_INFO binary
+--ro quote-signature? binary
+--ro up-time? uint32
+--ro unsigned-pcr-values* []
+--ro tpm20-hash-algo? identityref
+--ro pcr-values* [pcr-index]
+--ro pcr-index pcr
+--ro pcr-value? binary
An example of an RPC challenge requesting PCRs 0-7 from a SHA-256
bank could look like the following:
<rpc message-id="101"
xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
<tpm20-attestation-challenge
xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-tpm-remote-attestation">
<certificate-name>
(identifier of a TPM signature key with which the Attester is
supposed to sign the attestation data)
</certificate-name>
<nonce>
0xe041307208d9f78f5b1bbecd19e2d152ad49de2fc5a7d8dbf769f6b8ffdeab9
</nonce>
<tpm20-pcr-selection>
<tpm20-hash-algo
xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-tcg-algs">
TPM_ALG_SHA256
</tpm20-hash-algo>
<pcr-index>0</pcr-index>
<pcr-index>1</pcr-index>
<pcr-index>2</pcr-index>
<pcr-index>3</pcr-index>
<pcr-index>4</pcr-index>
<pcr-index>5</pcr-index>
<pcr-index>6</pcr-index>
<pcr-index>7</pcr-index>
</tpm20-pcr-selection>
</tpm20-attestation-challenge>
</rpc>
A successful response could be formatted as follows:
<rpc-reply message-id="101"
xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
<tpm20-attestation-response
xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-tpm-remote-attestation">
<certificate-name
xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-keystore">
(instance of certificate name in the keystore)
</certificate-name>
<attestation-data>
(raw attestation data, i.e., the TPM quote; this includes,
among other information, a composite digest of requested PCRs,
the nonce, and TPM 2.0 clock information.)
</attestation-data>
<quote-signature>
(signature over attestation-data using the TPM key
identified by sig-key-id)
</quote-signature>
</tpm20-attestation-response>
</rpc-reply>
2.1.1.4. log-retrieval
This RPC allows a Verifier to acquire the Evidence that was extended
into specific TPM PCRs. The YANG tree diagram of this RPC is as
follows:
+---x log-retrieval
+---w input
| +---w log-type identityref
| +---w log-selector* []
| +---w name* string
| +---w (index-type)?

2.1.1.5. Data Nodes
This section provides a high-level description of the data nodes that
contain the configuration and operational objects within the YANG
data model. For more details, please see the YANG module itself in
Figure 1.
Container 'rats-support-structures': This houses the set of
information relating to remote attestation for a device. This
includes specific device TPM(s), the compute nodes (such as line
cards) on which the TPM(s) reside, and the algorithms supported
across the platform.
Container 'tpms': This provides configuration and operational
details for each supported TPM, including the tpm-firmware-
version, PCRs that may be quoted, certificates that are associated
with that TPM, and the current operational status. Of note are
the certificates that are associated with that TPM. As a
certificate is associated with a particular TPM Attestation Key,
knowledge of the certificate allows a specific TPM to be
identified.
+--rw tpms
+--rw tpm* [name]
+--rw name string
+--ro hardware-based boolean
+--ro physical-index? int32 {hw:entity-mib}?
+--ro path? string
+--ro compute-node compute-node-ref {tpm:mtpm}?
+--ro manufacturer? string
+--rw firmware-version identityref
+--rw tpm12-hash-algo? identityref {taa:tpm12}?
+--rw tpm12-pcrs* pcr
+--rw tpm20-pcr-bank* [tpm20-hash-algo] {taa:tpm20}?
| +--rw tpm20-hash-algo identityref
| +--rw pcr-index* tpm:pcr
+--ro status enumeration
+--rw certificates
+--rw certificate* [name]
+--rw name string
+--rw keystore-ref? leafref {ks:asymmetric-keys}?
+--rw type? enumeration
Container 'attester-supported-algos': This identifies which TCG hash
algorithms are available for use on the Attesting platform. An
operator will use this information to limit algorithms available
for use by RPCs to just a desired set from the universe of all
hash algorithms allowed by the TCG.
+--rw attester-supported-algos
+--rw tpm12-asymmetric-signing* identityref {taa:tpm12}?
+--rw tpm12-hash* identityref {taa:tpm12}?
+--rw tpm20-asymmetric-signing* identityref {taa:tpm20}?
+--rw tpm20-hash* identityref {taa:tpm20}?
Container 'compute-nodes': When there is more than one TPM
supported, this container maintains the set of information related
to the compute node associated with a specific TPM. This allows
each specific TPM to identify to which 'compute-node' it belongs.
+--rw compute-nodes {tpm:mtpm}?
+--ro compute-node* [node-id]
+--ro node-id string
+--ro node-physical-index? int32 {hw:entity-mib}?
+--ro node-name? string

the minimum set of PCR information that has changed since
the last received TPM2B_DIGEST. Put another way, why should
a Verifier reconstruct the proper value of all PCR Quotes
when only a single PCR has changed?
To help this happen, if the Attester does know specific PCR
values, the Attester can provide these individual values via
'unsigned-pcr-values'. By comparing this information to
what has previously been validated, it is possible for a
Verifier to confirm the Attester's signature while
eliminating significant processing. Note that there should
never be a result where an unsigned PCR value differs from
what may be reconstructed from within the PCR quote and
the event logs.
If there is a difference, a signed result that has been
verified from retrieved logs is considered definitive.";

2.1.2. ietf-tcg-algs
This document has encoded the TCG Algorithm definitions of Table 3 of
[TCG-Algos], revision 1.32. By including this full table as a
separate YANG file within this document, it is possible for other
YANG modules to leverage the contents of this module. Specific
references to [TPM1.2-Structures], [TPM2.0], [RFC2104], [RFC8017],
[RFC8032], [ISO-IEC-9797-1], [ISO-IEC-9797-2], [ISO-IEC-10116],
[ISO-IEC-10118-3], [ISO-IEC-14888-3], [ISO-IEC-15946-1],
[ISO-IEC-18033-3], [IEEE-Std-1363-2000], [IEEE-Std-1363a-2004],
[NIST-FIPS-202], [NIST-SP800-38C], [NIST-SP800-38D],
[NIST-SP800-38F], [NIST-SP800-56A], and [NIST-SP800-108] exist within
the YANG module.
2.1.2.1. Features
There are two types of features supported: 'tpm12' and 'tpm20'.
Support for either of these features indicates that a cryptoprocessor
supporting the corresponding type of TCG TPM API is present on an
Attester. Most commonly, only one type of cryptoprocessor will be
available on an Attester.
2.1.2.2. Identities
There are three types of identities in this model:
1. Cryptographic functions supported by a TPM algorithm; these
include 'asymmetric', 'symmetric', 'hash', 'signing',
'anonymous_signing', 'encryption_mode', 'method', and
'object_type'. The definitions of each of these are in Table 2
of [TCG-Algos].
2. API specifications for TPM types: 'tpm12' and 'tpm20'
3. Specific algorithm types: Each algorithm type defines which
cryptographic functions may be supported, and on which type of
API specification. It is not required that an implementation of
a specific TPM will support all algorithm types. The contents of
each specific algorithm mirrors the contents of Table 3 of
[TCG-Algos].

4. Security Considerations
The YANG module ietf-tpm-remote-attestation.yang specified in this
document defines a schema for data that is designed to be accessed
via network management protocols such as NETCONF [RFC6241] or
RESTCONF [RFC8040]. The lowest NETCONF layer is the secure transport
layer, and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is Secure
Shell (SSH) [RFC6242]. The lowest RESTCONF layer is HTTPS, and the
mandatory-to-implement secure transport is TLS [RFC8446].
The Network Configuration Access Control Model (NACM) [RFC8341]
provides the means to restrict access for particular NETCONF or
RESTCONF users to a preconfigured subset of all available NETCONF or
RESTCONF protocol operations and content.
Of special consideration are the following nodes:
* In the 'tpms' container, the 'certificates' will expose
certificates used for attestation, potentially allowing selection
of a certificate that might be compromised. The 'type' could also
be misconfigured to represent a different type of key, which might
alter how a Verifier might evaluate the results.
* Within the 'attester-supported-algos' container, each leaf-list
will expose and potentially allow changing of the encryption
algorithms supported by a device.
There are a number of data nodes defined in this YANG module that are
writable/creatable/deletable (i.e., _config true_, which is the
default). These data nodes may be considered sensitive or vulnerable
in some network environments. Write operations (e.g., _edit-config_)
to these data nodes without proper protection can have a negative
effect on network operations. These are the subtrees and data nodes
as well as their sensitivity/vulnerability:
Container '/rats-support-structures/attester-supported-algos': 'tpm1
2-asymmetric-signing', 'tpm12-hash', 'tpm20-asymmetric-signing',
and 'tpm20-hash'. All could be populated with algorithms that are
not supported by the underlying physical TPM installed by the
equipment vendor. A vendor should restrict the ability to
configure unsupported algorithms.
Container: '/rats-support-structures/tpms': 'name': Although shown
as 'rw', it is system generated. Therefore, it should not be
possible for an operator to add or remove a TPM from the
configuration.
'tpm20-pcr-bank': It is possible to configure PCRs that are not
being extended by system software for extraction. This could
unnecessarily use TPM resources.
'certificates': It is possible to provision a certificate that
does not correspond to an AIK within the TPM 1.2, or to an
Attestation Key (AK) within the TPM 2.0, respectively. In such a
case, calls to an RPC requesting this specific certificate could
result in either no response or a response from an unexpected TPM.
RPC 'tpm12-challenge-response-attestation': The receiver of the RPC
response must verify that the certificate is for an active AIK,
i.e., the certificate has been confirmed by a third party as being
able to support Attestation on the targeted TPM 1.2.
RPC 'tpm20-challenge-response-attestation': The receiver of the RPC
response must verify that the certificate is for an active AK,
i.e., the private key confirmation of the quote signature within
the RPC response has been confirmed by a third party to belong to
an entity legitimately able to perform Attestation on the targeted
TPM 2.0.
RPC 'log-retrieval': Requesting a large volume of logs from the
Attester could require significant system resources and create a
denial of service.
Information collected through the RPCs above could reveal specific
versions of software and configurations of endpoints that could
identify vulnerabilities on those systems. Therefore, RPCs should be
protected by NACM [RFC8341] with a default setting of deny-all to
limit the extraction of attestation data by only authorized
Verifiers.
For the YANG module ietf-tcg-algs.yang, please use care when
selecting specific algorithms. The introductory section of
[TCG-Algos] highlights that some algorithms should be considered
legacy, and recommends implementers and adopters diligently evaluate
available information such as governmental, industrial, and academic
research before selecting an algorithm for use.
Some of the readable data nodes in this YANG module may be considered
sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus
important to control read access (e.g., via get, get-config, or
notification) to these data nodes. These are the subtrees and data
nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability:
Event logs (bios-log, ima-log, netequip-boot-log) typically contain
hash values (digests) of running boot and OS software. Passive
attackers can use these hash values to identify software versions and
thus launch targeted attacks on known vulnerabilities. Hence, bios-
log, ima-log, and netequip-boot-log are considerd sensitive.
Some of the RPC operations in this YANG module may be considered
sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus
important to control access to these operations. These are the
operations and their sensitivity/vulnerability:
The 'log-retrieval' RPC operation is considered sensitive since it
enables retrieval of logs (bios-log, ima-log, netequip-boot-log) that
typically contain hash values (digests) of running boot and OS
software. This allows specifics of loaded software including BIOS

The other two RPC operations, 'tpm20-challenge-response-attestation'

indicating the internal operational state of the device. These

Appendix A. Integrity Measurement Architecture (IMA)
IMA extends the principles of Measured Boot [TPM2.0-Arch] and Secure
Boot [UEFI-Secure-Boot] to the Linux operating system, applying it to
operating system applications and files. IMA has been part of the
Linux integrity subsystem of the Linux kernel since 2009 (kernel
version 2.6.30). The IMA mechanism represented by the YANG module in
this specification is rooted in the kernel version 5.16
[IMA-Kernel-Source].
[IMA-Template-Management]. IMA enables the protection of system
integrity by collecting (commonly referred to as measuring) and
storing measurements (called Claims in the context of IETF RATS) of
files before execution so that these measurements can be used later,
at system runtime, in remote attestation procedures. IMA acts in
support of the Appraisal of Evidence (which includes measurement
Claims) by leveraging Reference Values stored in extended file
attributes.
In support of the Appraisal of Evidence, IMA maintains an ordered
list (with no duplicates) of measurements in kernel space, the Stored
Measurement Log (SML), for all files that have been measured before
execution since the operating system was started. Although IMA can
be used without a TPM, it is typically used in conjunction with a TPM
to anchor the integrity of the SML in a hardware-protected secure
storage location, i.e., PCRs provided by TPMs. IMA provides the SML
in both binary and ASCII representations in the Linux security file
system _securityfs_ (/sys/kernel/security/ima/).
IMA templates define the format of the SML, i.e., which fields are
included in a log record. Examples are file path, file hash, user
ID, group ID, file signature, and extended file attributes. IMA
comes with a set of predefined template formats and also allows a
custom format, i.e., a format consisting of template fields supported
by IMA. Template usage is typically determined by boot arguments
passed to the kernel. Alternatively, the format can also be hard-
coded into custom kernels. IMA templates and fields are extensible
in the kernel source code. As a result, more template fields can be
added in the future.
IMA policies define which files are measured using the IMA policy
language. Built-in policies can be passed as boot arguments to the
kernel. Custom IMA policies can be defined once during runtime or be
hard-coded into a custom kernel. If no policy is defined, no
measurements are taken and IMA is effectively disabled.
A comprehensive description of the content fields in native of the Linux IMA
TLV format can be found in Table 16 of the Canonical Event Log (CEL)
specification [CEL]. The CEL specification also illustrates the use
of templates to enable extended or customized IMA TLV formats in
Section 5.1.6.
Appendix B. IMA for Network Equipment Boot Logs
Network equipment can generally implement similar IMA-protected
functions to generate measurements (Claims) about the boot process of
a device and enable corresponding remote attestation. Network
Equipment Boot Logs combine the measurement and logging of boot
components and operating system components (executables and files)
into a single log file in a format identical to the IMA format. Note
that the format used for logging measurement of boot components in
this scheme differs from the boot logging strategy described
elsewhere in this document.
During the boot process of the network device, i.e., from BIOS to the
end of the operating system and user-space, all files executed can be
measured and logged in the order of their execution. When the
Verifier initiates a remote attestation process (e.g., challenge-
response remote attestation as defined in this document), the network
equipment takes on the role of an Attester and can convey to the
Verifier Claims that comprise the measurement log as well as the
corresponding PCR values (Evidence) of a TPM.
The Verifier can appraise the integrity (compliance with the
Reference Values) of each executed file by comparing its measured
value with the Reference Value. Based on the execution order, the
Verifier can compute a PCR Reference Value (by replaying the log) and
compare it to the measurement log Claims obtained in conjunction with
the PCR Evidence to assess their trustworthiness with respect to an
intended operational state.
Network equipment usually executes multiple components in parallel.
This holds not only during the operating system loading phase, but
also even during the BIOS boot phase. With this measurement log
mechanism, network equipment can assume the role of an Attester,
proving to the Verifier the trustworthiness of its boot process.
Using the measurement log, Verifiers can precisely identify
mismatching log entries to infer potentially tampered components.
This mechanism also supports scenarios that modify files on the
Attester that are subsequently executed during the boot phase (e.g.,
updating/patching) by simply updating the appropriate Reference
Values in Reference Integrity Manifests that inform Verifiers about
how an Attester is composed.
