RFC 9684 | YANG Data Model for CHARRA Procedures | December 2024 |
Birkholz, et al. | Standards Track | [Page] |
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 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 Trusted Platform Module (TPM) of either version 1.2 or 2.0 as well as a corresponding TPM Software Stack (TSS), or an equivalent hardware implementation that includes the protected capabilities as provided by TPMs as well as a corresponding software stack.¶

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).¶
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.¶
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.¶
In this section, the two YANG modules are defined.¶
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], and [CEL], as well as Appendix B.¶
This module supports the following features:¶
This module supports the following types of attestation event logs: 'bios', 'ima', and 'netequip_boot'.¶
In the following sections, RPCs for attestation procedures for both TPM 1.2 and TPM 2.0 are defined.¶
This RPC allows a Verifier to request via the TPM Quote operation, signed TPM 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¶
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>¶
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)? | | +--:(last-entry) | | | +---w last-entry-value? binary | | +--:(index) | | | +---w last-index-number? uint64 | | +--:(timestamp) | | +---w timestamp? yang:date-and-time | +---w log-entry-quantity? uint16 +--ro output +--ro system-event-logs +--ro node-data* [] +--ro name? string +--ro up-time? uint32 +--ro log-result +--ro (attested_event_log_type) +--:(bios) {bios}? | +--ro bios-event-logs | +--ro bios-event-entry* [event-number] | +--ro event-number uint32 | +--ro event-type? uint32 | +--ro pcr-index? pcr | +--ro digest-list* [] | | +--ro hash-algo? identityref | | +--ro digest* binary | +--ro event-size? uint32 | +--ro event-data* binary +--:(ima) {ima}? | +--ro ima-event-logs | +--ro ima-event-entry* [event-number] | +--ro event-number uint64 | +--ro ima-template? string | +--ro filename-hint? string | +--ro filedata-hash? binary | +--ro filedata-hash-algorithm? string | +--ro template-hash-algorithm? string | +--ro template-hash? binary | +--ro pcr-index? pcr | +--ro signature? binary +--:(netequip_boot) {netequip_boot}? +--ro boot-event-logs +--ro boot-event-entry* [event-number] +--ro event-number uint64 +--ro ima-template? string +--ro filename-hint? string +--ro filedata-hash? binary +--ro filedata-hash-algorithm? string +--ro template-hash-algorithm? string +--ro template-hash? binary +--ro pcr-index? pcr +--ro signature? binary¶
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.¶
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.¶
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.¶

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.¶

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.¶

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.¶
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.¶
There are three types of identities in this model:¶

Note that not all cryptographic functions are required for use by ietf-tpm-remote-attestation.yang. However, the full definition of Table 3 of [TCG-Algos] will allow use by additional YANG specifications.¶
This document registers the following namespace URIs in the [XML-Registry] per [RFC3688]:¶
This document registers the following YANG modules in the registry [YANG-Parameters] per Section 14 of [RFC6020]:¶
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:¶
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:¶
'tpm12-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.¶
'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.¶
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.¶
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.¶
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 considered 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 and operating system software to be understood externally.¶
The other two RPC operations, 'tpm20-challenge-response-attestation' and 'tpm12-challenge-response-attestation', will expose values indicating the internal operational state of the device. These values could also be correlated to specifics of running software as well.¶
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-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 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.¶
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.¶
