Hi OPSAWG experts,

We have a new draft (draft-hu-opsawg-sec-config-yang-00) that focuses on 
security configuration checks for network devices. It comes from real problems 
and requirements on the live network. Weak or incorrect configurations are the 
main factors of network insecurity. Insecure configurations can be exploited to 
launch a network intrusion by attackers easily. Security configuration checks 
can reduce network security risks during the usage of devices. The first step 
of the security configuration check is to collect security configuration 
information from devices. Then, the value of the collected configuration item 
will be compared with the security configuration benchmark to determine whether 
the configuration item is secure. The security configuration benchmark is the 
recommended value of the configuration item to ensure basic device security.

This draft attempts to define the model of the security configurations to be 
collected (Currently, weak algorithms, insecure protocols, insecure feature 
status, short key length and unchanged default settings are included.) and how 
to obtain them through the NETCONF/Yang mechanism. 

This draft is essentially a specific requirement and solution for security O&M. 
Because it is relatively unique, we submit it to the OPSAWG WG and hope to get 
the help and comments from experts here.

Thanks a lot!

B.R.
Lei YAN

Abstract:

   Security configuration refers to the status setting of product
   security features/functions to reduce network security risks during
   product use.  This document defines YANG data models for the security
   configuration check.
