Introduction In Interface to Network Security Functions (I2NSF) [RFC8329], the Monitoring Interface [I-D.ietf-i2nsf-nsf-monitoring-data-model] is defined as an interface to collect information (e.g., network statistics, resources) from NSF(s). The information can be received by a query or a report. In a query-based, the information is obtained by a request from a client (I2NSF Analyzer). But in a report-based, the information is provided by a server (NSFs) when the notification or alarm is triggered by an event. In this model, the report-based collection information is used for realizing the Security Management Automation (SMA) in cloud-based security services [I-D.jeong-i2nsf-security-management-automation]. as the information is sent automatically by the NSFs. Figure 1 shows the I2NSF Framework for Security Management Automation. Lingga, et al.

By analyzing the information, a new security policy can be produced to further enhance the security of the network. To create the automated system, the analyzer should be done automatically with the help of machine learning. The automated analyzer is not in the scope of this document. The new security policy needs to be delivered from the I2NSF Analyzer to the Security Controller so the new policy can be listed and monitored properly. For that purpose, this document introduces the Application Interface as the intermediary between the I2NSF Analyzer and the Security Controller. Then the policy should be delivered directly to the NSFs by the Security Controller via the NSF-Facing Interface [I-D.ietf-i2nsf-nsf-facing-interface-dm]. The purpose of this document is to provide a standard for a feedback interface in an I2NSF Framework called Application Interface. With the provided Application Interface, the realization of Security Management Automation (SMA) should be possible. Lingga, et al.

Terminology 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. This document uses the terminology described in [RFC8329]. This document follows the guidelines of [RFC8407] and adopts the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA). The meaning of the symbols in tree diagrams is defined in [RFC8340]. 3. Information Model for Application Interface This document introduces Application Interface as an interface to deliver a report of the augmentation or generation of security policy rules created by I2NSF Analyzer to Security Controller [I-D.jeong-i2nsf-security-management-automation]. This allows Security Controller to actively reinforce the network with its security policy management. Figure 2 shows the high-level concept of Application Interface such as Policy Reconfiguration and Feedback Information. Lingga, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 4] Internet-Draft Application Interface YANG Data Model April 2022 +-----------------+ | Application | | Interface | +--------+--------+ ^ | +------------+-----------+ | | +--------+--------+ +-------+-----+ | Policy | | Feedback | | Reconfiguration | | Information | +--------+--------+ +-------+-----+ ^ ^ | | +------------+-----------+ | +-------------+------------+ | | | +-----+-----+ +-----+----+ +-----+-----+ | NSF Name | | Problem | | Solution | +-----------+ +----------+ +-----------+ Figure 2: Diagram for Application Interface Both policy reconfiguration and feedback information provide the following high-level abstraction: * NSF Name: It is the name or IP address of the NSF for identifying the NSF with problem. The name is a unique string to identify an NSF, including a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN). * Problem: It describes the issue(s) in the NSF that needs to be handled. * Solution: It specifies the possible solution(s) for the problem. 3.1. Information Model for Policy Reconfiguration Policy reconfiguration is the rearrangement of a security policy in a different form or combination of the existing security policy to enhance the security service in the network. A policy reconfiguration is generated by the I2NSF Analyzer after receiving and analyzing monitoring information of NSF Events from an NSF [I-D.ietf-i2nsf-nsf-monitoring-data-model]. Lingga, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 5] Internet-Draft Application Interface YANG Data Model April 2022 Policy reconfiguration works together with the three I2NSF interfaces defined for the I2NSF Framework, i.e., NSF-Facing Interface [I-D.ietf-i2nsf-nsf-facing-interface-dm], NSF Monitoring Interface [I-D.ietf-i2nsf-nsf-monitoring-data-model], and Application Interface, to create a closed-loop system for reinforcing the network security. Figure 3 shows an illustration of the closed-loop system for the I2NSF Framework. +------------+ +----------+ | Security | <--------------------------| I2NSF | | Controller | Application Interface | Analyzer | +------------+ (Policy Reconfiguration) +----------+ | ^ | | NSF-Facing | +---------+ | Monitoring Interface | +------->| NSF-1 |-------+ | Interface (Policy | | +---------+ | |(Monitoring Configuration)| | | | Data & | | +---------+ | | Statistics) +-------+------->| NSF-2 |-------+-----+ | +---------+ | | . | | . | | . | | +---------+ | +------->| NSF-n |-------+ +---------+ Figure 3: A Closed-Loop Architecture for Security Management Automation (SMA) Figure 3 shows a closed-loop system between Security Controller, NSF, and I2NSF Analyzer. The Security Controller delivers a security policy to an appropriate NSF via the NSF-Facing Interface [I-D.ietf-i2nsf-nsf-facing-interface-dm]. The NSF will prepare for a security service according to the given configuration and provide a security service for the network. The NSF SHOULD also provide monitoring information (e.g., NSF Events and System Alarms) to be analyzed. This monitoring information can be delivered from the NSF to an I2NSF Analyzer via the Monitoring Interface [I-D.ietf-i2nsf-nsf-monitoring-data-model]. Then the I2NSF Analyzer analyzes the monitoring information for the reconfiguration of an existing security policy, the generation of a new security policy, and the feedback for security system management (e.g., the scaling-up or scaling-down of resources related to NSFs). To fully automate the closed-loop system, the I2NSF Analyzer should analyze the monitoring Lingga, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 6] Internet-Draft Application Interface YANG Data Model April 2022 information automatically using machine learning techniques (e.g., Deep Learning [Deep-Learning]). The results of the analysis may trigger the reconfiguration of an existing security policy or the generation of a new security policy to strengthen the network security. The reconfiguration or configuration request will be delivered from the I2NSF Analyzer to the Security Controller via the Application Interface. To realize the closed-loop system, the Application Interface needs to properly follow the similar guidelines for the I2NSF Framework [RFC8329]. The Application Interface follows [I-D.ietf-i2nsf-nsf-facing-interface-dm] to create a security policy to reconfigure an existing security policy of NSF(s) or to generate a new security policy. Application Interface holds a list of security policies so that the (re)configuration of a security policy and the feedback information can be provided to the Security Controller. Each policy consists of a list of rule to be enhanced on the NSF. Note that the synchronization of the list of security policies should be done between the Security Controller and the I2NSF Analyzer and the specific mechanism is out of the scope of this document. A (re)configured security policy rule should be able to cope with attacks or failures that can happen to the network in near future. Such a rule is reconfigured or generated by the I2NSF Analyzer to tackle a detected problem in the network. It uses the Event- Condition-Action (ECA) model as the basis for the design of I2NSF Policy (Re)configuration as described in [RFC8329] and [I-D.ietf-i2nsf-capability-data-model]. An example of Policy (Re)configuration is a DDoS Attack that is detected by a DDoS Mitigator. The DDoS Mitigator creates monitoring information and delivers it to the I2NSF Analyzer. The I2NSF Analyzer analyzes the information and generates a new policy to handle the DDoS Attack, such as a firewall rule to drop all packets from the source of the DDoS Attack. 3.2. YANG Tree Structure for Policy Reconfiguration The YANG tree structure for policy reconfiguration is provided through the augmentation of the NSF-Facing Interface YANG Module [I-D.ietf-i2nsf-nsf-facing-interface-dm] as follows: Lingga, et al.

If the given nsf-name is not IP address, the name can be an arbitrary string including FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name). Lingga, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 8] Internet-Draft Application Interface YANG Data Model April 2022 Problem: The issue that is emitted by an NSF via the I2NSF Monitoring Interface. The problem for policy configuration includes the NSF Events described in NSF Monitoring Interface YANG Data Model [I-D.ietf-i2nsf-nsf-monitoring-data-model], such as DDoS detection, Virus detection, Intrusion detection, Web-attack detection, and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) or Voice over Cellular Network (VoCN) violation detection. Solution: The solution for policy (re)configuration is the security policy that is reconfigured or generated to solve a detected attack. The security policy can be configured using the NSF-Facing Interface YANG data model [I-D.ietf-i2nsf-nsf-facing-interface-dm]. 3.3. Information Model for Feedback Information Feedback information is information about problem(s) of an NSF for a security service such as system resource over-usage or malfunction. This problem cannot be handled by creating a new policy. In the similar way with policy reconfiguration, the feedback information should be delivered from the I2NSF Analyzer to the Security Controller that will be able to handle the reported problem(s). +------------+ | I2NSF | | User | +------+-----+ ^ | Report | +-----------+ +------+-----+ Application +----------+ |Developer's|<----------+ Security |<---------------| I2NSF | |Mgmt System| Query | Controller | Interface | Analyzer | +-----------+ +------------+ +----------+ Figure 5: Handling of Feedback Information Lingga, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 9] Internet-Draft Application Interface YANG Data Model April 2022 Figure 5 shows the handling of feedback information. For feedback information, the given feedback is not a security policy, hence the Security Controller needs to take an action to handle the reported problem(s). The action includes the report to the I2NSF User and the query of the system resource management of the relevant NSF(s) to the Developer's Management System (DMS). DMS will communicate with the Management and Orchestration (MANO) Unit in the Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) Framework to deal with the system management issue(s) of the relevant NSFs [I-D.ietf-i2nsf-applicability]. The details of the handling process are out of the scope of this document. 3.4. YANG Tree Structure for Feedback Information The YANG tree structure for feedback information is provided with the use of the NSF Monitoring Interface YANG Module [I-D.ietf-i2nsf-nsf-monitoring-data-model] as follows: Lingga, et al.

The feedback information should include: * NSF Name: The name or IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) of the NSF that detected the problem. If the given nsf-name is not IP address, the name can be an arbitrary string including FQDN. * Time: The time of the delivery of the feedback information. Lingga, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 11] Internet-Draft Application Interface YANG Data Model April 2022 * Language: The language tag that is used for the natural language text that is included in the "message" and "solution" attributes. The language field is encoded following the rules in Section 2.1 of [RFC5646]. The default language tag is "en-US". * Problem: The issue that is emitted by an NSF via the I2NSF Monitoring Interface. The problem for feedback information includes the system alarms described in NSF Monitoring Interface YANG Data Model [I-D.ietf-i2nsf-nsf-monitoring-data-model], such as Memory alarm, CPU alarm, Disk alarm, Hardware alarm, and Interface alarm. * Solution: A possible solution given as feedback is in the form of a free-form string (as a high-level instruction). 4.

XML Configuration Examples of Feedback Policy This section shows XML configuration examples of feedback policy rules that are delivered from the I2NSF Analyzer to the Security Controller over the Application Interface after the I2NSF Analyzer analyzes the Monitoring Information. 6.1. Feedback Policy for DDoS Detection In this example, the scenario can be seen in Figure 8. +---------------------------------+ +---------------+ | Secure Network (203.0.113.0/24) | | DDoS Attacker | | | | 192.0.2.8, | DDoS | +---------+ +---------+ | | 192.0.2.9, +-------->| |Firewall | |Server 1 | | | 192.0.2.10 | Attack | +---------+ +---------+ | +---------------+ | | | | v +---------+ | | +---------+ |Server 2 | | | |DDoS | ----> +---------+ | | |Mitigator| | | +---------+ +---------+ | | |Server 3 | | | +---------+ | +---------------------------------+ Figure 8: A Scenario Example of DDoS Attack Lingga, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 25] Internet-Draft Application Interface YANG Data Model April 2022 In this scenario, a DDoS Mitigator detects a DDoS Attack and sends a notification to the I2NSF Analyzer as shown in Figure 9. 2021-08-27T09:00:01.00Z subscription on-change on-repetition nsfmi:syn-flood 2021-08-27T09:00:00.00Z 192.0.2.8 192.0.2.9 192.0.2.10 203.0.113.0/24 100 A DDoS Attack is detected DDoS_mitigator Figure 9: A Detected DDoS Attack by DDoS Mitigator In the scenario shown in Figure 9, the description of the XML example is as follows: 1. The DDoS attack is detected at 9 am on August 27 in 2021. 2. The sources of the attack are 192.0.2.8, 192.0.2.9, and 192.0.2.10. 3. The destination of the attack is 203.0.113.0/24. After receiving the information, the I2NSF Analyzer analyzes the data and creates a new feedback policy to enforce the security of the network. The I2NSF Analyzer delivers a feedback policy to the Security Controller as shown in Figure 10. Lingga, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 26] Internet-Draft Application Interface YANG Data Model April 2022 feedback_policy_for_ddos_attack deny_ddos_attack 192.0.2.8 192.0.2.10 drop Firewall 192.0.2.8 192.0.2.9 192.0.2.10 203.0.113.0/24 Figure 10: Policy Reconfiguration for a Detected DDoS Attack The policy reconfiguration in Figure 10 means the following: 1. The feedback policy is named as "feedback_policy_for_ddos_attack". 2. The rule is named as "deny_ddos_attack". Lingga, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 27] Internet-Draft Application Interface YANG Data Model April 2022 3. The rule starts from 09:00 am on August 24 in 2021. The condition of the rule is from the sources of the IP addresses 192.0.2.8, 192.0.2.9, and 192.0.2.10. 4. The action required is to "drop" any access from the the IP addresses have been identified as malicious. 5. The NSF to be configured is named "Firewall". 6. The problem that triggered the generation of the feedback is a DDoS attack from the sources of the IP addresses 192.0.2.8, 192.0.2.9, and 192.0.2.10 to the protected network of 203.0.113.0/24. 6.2. Feedback Information for Overloaded NSF In this scenario, an NSF is overloaded and sends a notification to the I2NSF Analyzer as shown in Figure 11. 2021-08-27T07:43:52.181088+00:00 subscription on-change on-repetition en-US memory-alarm 91 90 Memory Usage Exceeded the Threshold time_based_firewall high Figure 11: The Monitoring of an Overloaded NSF In the scenario shown in Figure 11, the description of the XML example is as follows: 1. The NSF that sends the information is named "firewall". Lingga, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 28] Internet-Draft Application Interface YANG Data Model April 2022 2. The memory usage of the NSF triggered the alarm. 3. The memory usage of the NSF is 98 percent. 4. The memory threshold to trigger the alarm is 80 percent. 5. The event is delivered at 2021-08-27T07:43:52.181088+00:00. After receiving the information, the I2NSF Analyzer analyzes the data and creates a new feedback policy to solve the problem that is detected in the NSF. The I2NSF Analyzer delivers a feedback information to the Security Controller as shown in Figure 12. Firewall en-US 95 Memory Usage Exceeded the Threshold 3600 Add more memory capacity to the NSF Create a new NSF with the same security service Figure 12: Feedback Information for the Overloaded NSF The feedback information in Figure 12 means the following: 1. The name of the NSF that needs to be handled is called "Firewall". 2. The feedback information is delivered at 2021-08-27T08:43:52.000000+00:00. 3. The problem is that the Memory Usage Exceeded the Threshold with the average usage of memory as 95. Lingga, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 29] Internet-Draft Application Interface YANG Data Model April 2022 4. The problem persists for 3,600 seconds (1 hour) without any fix. 5. The proposed solution to the problem is to add more memory capacity in hardware to the NSF or to create a new NSF with the same security service. 7. Security Considerations The YANG module specified in this document defines a data schema designed to be accessed through network management protocols such as NETCONF [RFC6241] or RESTCONF [RFC8040]. The lowest NETCONF layer is the secure transport layer, and the required secure transport is Secure Shell (SSH) [RFC6242]. The lowest RESTCONF layer is HTTPS, and the required secure transport is TLS [RFC8446]. The NETCONF access control model [RFC8341] provides a means of restricting access to specific NETCONF or RESTCONF users to a preconfigured subset of all available NETCONF or RESTCONF protocol operations and content. 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. And the data model in this document uses the data model from NSF-Facing Interface data model, it MUST follow the Security Considerations mentioned in the [I-D.ietf-i2nsf-nsf-facing-interface-dm]. 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. This document also MUST follow the Security Considerations about the readable data nodes mentioned in the [I-D.ietf-i2nsf-nsf-facing-interface-dm]. 8. References 8.1.
