1. Introduction
-
This document presents four YANG 1.1 [RFC7950] modules -- three IETF modules and one IANA module.
The three IETF modules are "ietf-tls-common" (Section 2), "ietf-tls- client" (Section 3), and "ietf-tls-server" (Section 4). The "ietf- tls-client" and "ietf-tls-server" modules are the primary productions of this work, supporting the configuration and monitoring of TLS 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 IANA module is "iana-tls-cipher-suite-algs". This module defines YANG enumerations that provide support for an IANA-maintained algorithm registry.
IANA used the script in Appendix A to generate the "iana-tls-cipher- suite-algs" YANG module. This document does not publish the initial version of the module; it is published and maintained by IANA.
1.1. Regarding the Three IETF Modules
-
The three IETF modules define features and groupings to model "generic" TLS clients and TLS servers, where "generic" should be interpreted as "least common denominator" rather than "complete." Basic TLS protocol support is afforded by these modules, leaving configuration of advance features to augmentations made by consuming modules.
It is intended that the YANG groupings will be used by applications needing to configure TLS client and server protocol stacks. For instance, these groupings are used to help define the data model for HTTPS [RFC9110] and clients and servers based on the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) over TLS [RFC7589] in [HTTP-CLIENT-SERVER] and [NETCONF-CLIENT-SERVER], respectively.
The "ietf-tls-client" and "ietf-tls-server" YANG modules each define one grouping, which is focused on just TLS-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 "tls-server-grouping" grouping for the TLS parts it provides, while adding data nodes for the TCP-level call-home configuration.
Both TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 may be configured. TLS 1.2 [RFC5246] is obsoleted by TLS 1.3 [RFC8446] but is still in common use, and hence its "feature" statement is marked "status deprecated".
1.2. Relation to Other RFCs
-
This document presents four 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 the NETCONF [RFC6241] and RESTCONF [RFC8040] protocols.
The dependency relationship between the primary YANG groupings defined in the various RFCs is presented in the diagram below. In some cases, a document may define secondary groupings that introduce dependencies not illustrated in the diagram. The labels in the diagram are shorthand names for the defining RFCs. The citation references for the shorthand names are provided below the diagram.
Please note that the arrows in the diagram point from referencer to referenced. For example, the "crypto-types" RFC does not have any dependencies, whilst the "keystore" RFC depends on the "crypto-types" RFC.
crypto-types ^ ^ / \ / \ truststore keystore ^ ^ ^ ^ | +---------+ | | | | | | | +------------+ | tcp-client-server | / | | ^ ^ ssh-client-server | | | | ^ tls-client-server | | | ^ ^ http-client-server | | | | | ^ | | | +-----+ +---------+ | | | | | | | | +-----------|--------|--------------+ | | | | | | | | +-----------+ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | netconf-client-server restconf-client-server +========================+==========================+ | Label in Diagram | Originating RFC | +========================+==========================+ | crypto-types | [RFC9640] | +------------------------+--------------------------+ | truststore | [RFC9641] | +------------------------+--------------------------+ | keystore | [RFC9642] | +------------------------+--------------------------+ | tcp-client-server | [RFC9643] | +------------------------+--------------------------+ | ssh-client-server | [RFC9644] | +------------------------+--------------------------+ | tls-client-server | RFC 9645 | +------------------------+--------------------------+ | http-client-server | [HTTP-CLIENT-SERVER] | +------------------------+--------------------------+ | netconf-client-server | [NETCONF-CLIENT-SERVER] | +------------------------+--------------------------+ | restconf-client-server | [RESTCONF-CLIENT-SERVER] | +------------------------+--------------------------+-

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-tls-common" Module
-
The TLS common model presented in this section contains features and groupings common to both TLS clients and TLS servers. The "hello- params-grouping" grouping can be used to configure the list of TLS algorithms permitted by the TLS client or TLS server. The lists of algorithms are ordered such that, if multiple algorithms are permitted by the client, the algorithm that appears first in its list and that is also permitted by the server is used for the TLS transport layer connection. The ability to restrict the algorithms allowed is provided in this grouping for TLS clients and TLS servers that are capable of doing so and that may serve to make TLS clients and TLS servers compliant with local security policies. This model supports both TLS 1.2 [RFC5246] and TLS 1.3 [RFC8446].
Thus, in order to support both TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3, the cipher suites part of the "hello-params-grouping" grouping should include the following three parameters for configuring its permitted TLS algorithms: TLS Cipher Suites, TLS SignatureScheme, and TLS Supported Groups.
2.1. Data Model Overview
-
This section provides an overview of the "ietf-tls-common" module in terms of its features, identities, and groupings.
2.1.1. Features
-
The following diagram lists all the "feature" statements defined in the "ietf-tls-common" module:
Features:
+-- tls12 +-- tls13 +-- hello-params +-- asymmetric-key-pair-generation +-- supported-algorithmsThe 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. Identities
-
The following diagram illustrates the relationship amongst the "identity" statements defined in the "ietf-tls-common" module:
Identities:
+-- tls-version-base +-- tls12 +-- tls13The diagram above uses syntax that is similar to but not defined in [RFC8340].
Comments:
* The diagram shows that there are two base identities. * One base identity is used to specify TLS versions. This base identity is "abstract" in the object-oriented programming sense because it defines a "class" of things rather than a specific thing. * These base identities are "abstract" in the object-oriented programming sense because they only define a "class" of things rather than a specific thing.
2.1.3. Groupings
-
The "ietf-tls-common" module defines the following "grouping" statement:
- hello-params-grouping
This grouping is presented in the following subsection.
2.1.3.1. The "hello-params-grouping" Grouping
-
The following tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrates the "hello-params- grouping" grouping:
-
grouping hello-params-grouping:
+-- tls-versions | +-- min? identityref | +-- max? identityref +-- cipher-suites +-- cipher-suite* tlscsa:tls-cipher-suite-algorithmComments:
- This grouping is used by both the "tls-client-grouping" and the "tls-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 TLS versions and cipher suites that are to be used when establishing TLS sessions.
- The "cipher-suites" list is "ordered-by user".
-
2.1.4. Protocol-Accessible Nodes
-
The following tree diagram [RFC8340] lists all the protocol- accessible nodes defined in the "ietf-tls-common" module, without expanding the "grouping" statements:
module: ietf-tls-common
+--ro supported-algorithms {algorithm-discovery}? +--ro supported-algorithm* tlscsa:tls-cipher-suite-algorithm-
rpcs:
+---x generate-asymmetric-key-pair {asymmetric-key-pair-generation}? +---w input | +---w algorithm | | tlscsa:tls-cipher-suite-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-identifierComments:
- Protocol-accessible nodes are 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-tls-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
-
The following example illustrates the "hello-params-grouping" grouping when populated with some data.

Comments:
- The "client-identity" node, which is optionally configured (as client authentication MAY occur at a higher protocol layer), configures identity credentials, each enabled by a "feature" statement defined in Section 3.1.1.
- The "server-authentication" node configures trust anchors for authenticating the TLS server, with each option enabled by a "feature" statement.
- The "hello-params" node, which must be enabled by a feature, configures parameters for the TLS sessions established by this configuration.
- The "keepalives" node, which must be enabled by a feature, configures a "presence" container to test the aliveness of the TLS server. The aliveness-test occurs at the TLS protocol layer.
- For the referenced grouping statement(s):
- The "inline-or-keystore-end-entity-cert-with-key-grouping" grouping is discussed in Section 2.1.3.6 of [RFC9642]. - The "inline-or-keystore-asymmetric-key-grouping" grouping is discussed in Section 2.1.3.4 of [RFC9642]. - The "inline-or-keystore-symmetric-key-grouping" grouping is discussed in Section 2.1.3.3 of [RFC9642]. - The "inline-or-truststore-certs-grouping" grouping is discussed in Section 2.1.3.3 of [RFC9641]. - The "inline-or-truststore-public-keys-grouping" grouping is discussed in Section 2.1.3.4 of [RFC9641]. - The "hello-params-grouping" grouping is discussed in Section 2.1.3.1 in this document.
3.1.3. Protocol-Accessible Nodes
-
The "ietf-tls-client" module defines only "grouping" statements that are used by other modules to instantiate protocol-accessible nodes. Thus, this module does not itself define any protocol-accessible nodes when implemented.
3.2. Example Usage
-
This section presents two examples showing the "tls-client-grouping" grouping populated with some data. These examples are effectively the same except the first configures the client identity using a local 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. -->

4. The "ietf-tls-server" Module
-
This section defines a YANG 1.1 module called "ietf-tls-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-tls-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-tls-server" module:
Features:
+-- tls-server-keepalives +-- server-ident-x509-cert +-- server-ident-raw-public-key +-- server-ident-psk +-- client-auth-supported +-- client-auth-x509-cert +-- client-auth-raw-public-key +-- client-auth-pskThe 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-tls-server" module defines the following "grouping" statement:
- tls-server-grouping
This grouping is presented in the following subsection.
4.1.2.1. The "tls-server-grouping" Grouping
-
The following tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrates the "tls-server- grouping" grouping:
=============== NOTE: '\' line wrapping per RFC 8792 ================ grouping tls-server-grouping: +-- server-identity | +-- (auth-type) | +--:(certificate) {server-ident-x509-cert}? | | +-- certificate | | +---u ks:inline-or-keystore-end-entity-cert-with-key\ -grouping | +--:(raw-private-key) {server-ident-raw-public-key}? | | +-- raw-private-key | | +---u ks:inline-or-keystore-asymmetric-key-grouping | +--:(tls12-psk) {server-ident-tls12-psk}? | | +-- tls12-psk | | +---u ks:inline-or-keystore-symmetric-key-grouping | | +-- id-hint? | | string | +--:(tls13-epsk) {server-ident-tls13-epsk}? | +-- tls13-epsk | +---u ks:inline-or-keystore-symmetric-key-grouping | +-- external-identity | | string | +-- hash? | | tlscmn:epsk-supported-hash | +-- context? | | string | +-- target-protocol? | | uint16 | +-- target-kdf? | uint16 +-- client-authentication! {client-auth-supported}? | +-- ca-certs! {client-auth-x509-cert}? | | +---u ts:inline-or-truststore-certs-grouping | +-- ee-certs! {client-auth-x509-cert}? | | +---u ts:inline-or-truststore-certs-grouping | +-- raw-public-keys! {client-auth-raw-public-key}? | | +---u ts:inline-or-truststore-public-keys-grouping | +-- tls12-psks? empty {client-auth-tls12-psk}? | +-- tls13-epsks? empty {client-auth-tls13-epsk}? +-- hello-params {tlscmn:hello-params}? | +---u tlscmn:hello-params-grouping +-- keepalives {tls-server-keepalives}? +-- peer-allowed-to-send? empty +-- test-peer-aliveness! +-- max-wait? uint16 +-- max-attempts? uint8
Comments:
- The "server-identity" node configures identity credentials, each of which is enabled by a "feature".
- The "client-authentication" node, which is optionally configured (as client authentication MAY occur at a higher protocol layer), configures trust anchors for authenticating the TLS client, with each option enabled by a "feature" statement.
- The "hello-params" node, which must be enabled by a feature, configures parameters for the TLS sessions established by this configuration.
- The "keepalives" node, which must be enabled by a feature, configures a flag enabling the TLS client to test the aliveness of the TLS server as well as a "presence" container to test the aliveness of the TLS client. The aliveness-tests occur at the TLS protocol layer.
- For the referenced grouping statement(s):
- The "inline-or-keystore-end-entity-cert-with-key-grouping" grouping is discussed in Section 2.1.3.6 of [RFC9642]. - The "inline-or-keystore-asymmetric-key-grouping" grouping is discussed in Section 2.1.3.4 of [RFC9642]. - The "inline-or-keystore-symmetric-key-grouping" grouping is discussed in Section 2.1.3.3 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 "hello-params-grouping" grouping is discussed in Section 2.1.3.1 in this document.
4.1.3. Protocol-Accessible Nodes
-
The "ietf-tls-server" module defines only "grouping" statements that are used by other modules to instantiate protocol-accessible nodes. Thus, this module does not itself define any protocol-accessible nodes when implemented.
4.2. Example Usage
-
This section presents two examples showing the "tls-server-grouping" grouping populated with some data. These examples are effectively the same except the first configures the server identity using a local 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:

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 grouping must conduct their own analysis of the security considerations.
5.1. Considerations for the "iana-tls-cipher-suite-algs" YANG Module
-
This section is modeled after the template defined in Section 3.7.1 of [RFC8407].
The "iana-tls-cipher-suite-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 "ietf-tls-common" YANG Module
-
This section is modeled after the template defined in Section 3.7.1 of [RFC8407].
The "ietf-tls-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 that 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.
5.3. Considerations for the "ietf-tls-client" YANG Module
-
This section is modeled after the template defined in Section 3.7.1 of [RFC8407].
The "ietf-tls-client" 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.
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.
5.4. Considerations for the "ietf-tls-server" YANG Module
-
This section is modeled after the template defined in Section 3.7.1 of [RFC8407].
The "ietf-tls-server" 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.
Please be aware that this module uses the "key" and "private-key" nodes from the "ietf-crypto-types" module [RFC9640], where said nodes have the NACM extension "default-deny-all" set, thus preventing unrestricted read access to the cleartext key values.
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.
6. IANA Considerations
6.1. The IETF XML Registry
-
IANA has registered the following four URIs in the "ns" registry of the "IETF XML Registry" [RFC3688].
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:iana-tls-cipher-suite-algs Registrant Contact: The IESG XML: N/A; the requested URI is an XML namespace. URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-tls-common Registrant Contact: The IESG XML: N/A; the requested URI is an XML namespace. URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-tls-client Registrant Contact: The IESG XML: N/A; the requested URI is an XML namespace. URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-tls-server Registrant Contact: The IESG XML: N/A; the requested URI is an XML namespace.
6.2. The YANG Module Names Registry
-
IANA has registered the following four YANG modules in the "YANG Module Names" registry [RFC6020].
name: iana-tls-cipher-suite-algs Maintained by IANA: Y namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:iana-tls-cipher-suite-algs prefix: tlscsa reference: RFC 9645 name: ietf-tls-common Maintained by IANA: N namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-tls-common prefix: tlscmn reference: RFC 9645 name: ietf-tls-client Maintained by IANA: N namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-tls-client prefix: tlsc reference: RFC 9645 name: ietf-tls-server Maintained by IANA: N namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-tls-server prefix: tlss reference: RFC 9645
6.3. Considerations for the "iana-tls-cipher-suite-algs" YANG Module
-
This section follows the template defined in Section 4.30.3.1 of [RFC8407BIS].
IANA used the script in Appendix A to generate the IANA-maintained "iana-tls-cipher-suite-algs" YANG module. The YANG module is available from the "YANG Parameters" registry [IANA-YANG-PARAMETERS].
IANA has added the following note to the registry:
| New values must not be directly added to the "iana-tls-cipher- | suite-algs" YANG module. They must instead be added to the "TLS | Cipher Suites" registry in the "Transport Layer Security (TLS) | Parameters" registry group [IANA-CIPHER-ALGS].
When a value is added to the "TLS Cipher Suites" registry, a new "enum" statement must be added to the "iana-tls-cipher-suite-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 "Recommended" value "N" maps to YANG status "deprecated". Since the registry is unable to express a logical "MUST NOT" recommendation, there is no mapping to YANG status "obsolete", which is unfortunate given the moving of single-DES and International Data Encryption Algorithm (IDEA) TLS cipher suites to Historic [RFC8996].
description
-
Contains "Enumeration for the 'TLS_FOO' algorithm", where "TLS_FOO" is a placeholder for the algorithm's name (e.g., "TLS_PSK_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA").
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-tls-cipher-suite-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 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 2024-10-10 { description "This update reflects the update made to the underlying 'Foo Bar' registry per RFC XXXX."; reference "RFC XXXX: Extend the Foo Bar Registry to Support Something Important"; }IANA has added the following note to the "TLS Cipher Suites" registry under the "Transport Layer Security (TLS) Parameters" registry group [IANA-CIPHER-ALGS].
| When this registry is modified, the YANG module "iana-tls-cipher- | suite-algs" [IANA-YANG-PARAMETERS] must be updated as defined in | RFC 9645.

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 was used to create the initial IANA-maintained "iana-tls-cipher- suite-algs" YANG module maintained at [IANA-YANG-PARAMETERS].
Run the script using the command 'python gen-yang-modules.py' to produce the YANG module file 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.
