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.

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-algorithms
The 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
+-- tls13
The 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-algorithm
Comments:
* 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-identifier
Comments:
* 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.
<!-- The outermost element below doesn't exist in the data model. -->
<!-- It simulates if the "grouping" were a "container" instead. -->
<hello-params
xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-tls-common"
xmlns:tlscmn="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-tls-common">

3. The "ietf-tls-client" Module
This section defines a YANG 1.1 [RFC7950] module called "ietf-tls-
client". A high-level overview of the module is provided in
Section 3.1. Examples illustrating the module's use are provided in
Section 3.2 ("Example Usage"). The YANG module itself is defined in
Section 3.3.
3.1. Data Model Overview
This section provides an overview of the "ietf-tls-client" module in
terms of its features and groupings.
3.1.1. Features
The following diagram lists all the "feature" statements defined in
the "ietf-tls-client" module:
Features:
+-- tls-client-keepalives
+-- client-ident-x509-cert
+-- client-ident-raw-public-key

3.1.2. Groupings
The "ietf-tls-client" module defines the following "grouping"
statement:
* tls-client-grouping
This grouping is presented in the following subsection.
3.1.2.1. The "tls-client-grouping" Grouping
The following tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrates the "tls-client-

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. -->
<tls-client
xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-tls-client"

The following configuration example uses central-keystore-references
for the client identity and central-truststore-references for server
authentication from the keystore:
=============== 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-psk
The 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-

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:
=============== 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. -->
<tls-server
xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-tls-server"
xmlns:ct="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-crypto-types">

<tls12-psks/>
<tls13-epsks/>
</client-authentication>
<keepalives>
<peer-allowed-to-send/>
</keepalives>
</tls-server>
The following configuration example uses central-keystore-references
for the server identity and central-truststore-references for client
authentication from the keystore:
=============== 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. -->
<tls-server xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-tls-server">
<!-- how this server will authenticate itself to the client -->
<server-identity>
<certificate>
<central-keystore-reference>
<asymmetric-key>rsa-asymmetric-key</asymmetric-key>

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

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

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.
