  2. Status IETF72 Transport Subsystem for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) • IETF69: draft-ietf-isms-tmsm-09.txt • IETF72: draft-ietf-isms-tmsm-12.txt Transport Security Model for SNMP • IETF69: draft-ietf-isms-transport-security-model-05.txt • IETF72: draft-ietf-isms-transport-security-model-08.txt Secure Shell Transport Model for SNMP • IETF69: draft-ietf-isms-secshell-08.txt • IETF72: draft-ietf-isms-secshell-11.txt

  3. Status IETF72 WGLC started following ietf69: • draft-ietf-isms-tmsm-09.txt • draft-ietf-isms-transport-security-model-05.txt • draft-ietf-isms-secshell-08.txt

  4. Transport Subsystem

  5. Transport Subsystem • draft-ietf-isms-tmsm-12.txt • Compatibility with SNMPv3, RFC2119 and RFC4181 • Security considerations for v1/v2c co-existence • Updated architectural diagrams and ASIs • Same security for request/response • Moved comparison with USM to TSM document • IANA duplicate registries fixed

  6. Transport Security Model

  7. Transport Security Model • draft-ietf-isms-transport-security-model-08.txt • Compatibility with SNMPv3, RFC2119 and RFC4181 • Added tsmLCD MIB • Differentiated requested/actual securityLevels • Eliminated all mention of sessions from TSM

  8. SSH Transport Model

  9. SSH Transport Model • draft-ietf-isms-secshell-11.txt • Compatibility with SNMPv3, RFC2119 and RFC4181 • Added sshtmLCD MIB • Differentiated requested/actual securityLevels • Notification originators act as SSH client • Op considerations about client key distribution • Session cleanup to prevent reuse security hole • Resolved#8: TM cannot specify SM

  10. Open Issues • Predictability of securityName/identity mappings

  11. Open Issues #2,3 • Admins need to configure user-specific policies into the VACM MIB and Target MIB and Event MIB using securityName. • The (possibly multi-step) transform to/from a specific transport-security mechanism from/to a securityName must be predictable • An admin must be able to predict what the securityName will be for a given principal authenticated by a security mechanism, and which security identity will be used for a given securityName.

  12. Open Issue #2a – incoming TM • SSHTM does not have predictability in generating tmSecurityName from the various security mechanisms SSH can use. • SSH provides a required “user name” field, but makes the content optional, so we cannot rely on the value of “user name” to construct a predictable transform. • We could require that for SNMP usage, only mechanisms/implementations that provide predictable “user name” content be used.

  13. Open Issue #2b – incoming SM • TSM does not have predictability in mapping from tmSecurityName to securityName • We could state that securityName must be set to the value of tmSecurityName to make this predictable. • Problem: different TMs could automatically generate the same tmSecurityName for different principals

  14. Open Issue #2c – incoming SM • Problem: Different TMs might generate the same tmSecurityName for different principals • Proposal: add a mapping table in TSM to map SSH::tmSecurityName and TLS::tmSecurityName to different securityNames (and allow mapping different tmSecurityNames to a single securityName) • These are extra features, with extra complexity, requiring admin pre-configuration • This might be handled in the SSH and TLS configurations rather than in an SNMP-specific solution

  15. Open Issue #2a – outgoing TM • SSHTM does not have predictability in mapping tmSecurityName to the various security mechanisms SSH can use, including session identifiers.

  16. Open Issue #2b – outgoing SM • TSM does not have predictability in mapping from securityName to tmSecurityName • We could state that tmSecurityName must be set to the value of securityName to make this predictable.

  17. Open Issue #3c – outgoing SM • Problem: Different TMs might utilize the same tmSecurityName for different principals or sessions • Proposal: add a mapping table in TSM to map different securityNames to SSH::tmSecurityName and TLS::tmSecurityName and/or session IDs • These are extra features, with extra complexity, requiring admin pre-configuration • This might be handled in the SSH and TLS configurations rather than in an SNMP-specific solution
