Given that it is a special case, I think that we could constrain it heavily and target simple solution. Depending how much text is required to describe it, it might be good to define an extension statement that could be placed on the actions. While an extension statement may seem like it opens the gates for general use, we could further define the extension statement as being something that MUST NOT be used when general purpose operations are suitable such that, at least with the IETF, it could only be used in extraordinary circumstances. > Some comments on the new text: > > In action generate-hidden-key, it should be stated that the public-key > will be populated, and that the private-key will exist but report > 'permanently-hidden'.

The 'type' statement doesn't have 'description' as a substatement, but, point taken, two updates: In leaf private-key: OLD: A binary that contains the value of the private key. NEW: Either a binary that contains the value of the private key or, in the case of a hidden key, the value 'permanently-hidden'. In enum permanently-hidden: OLD: The private key is inaccessible due to being protected by the system (e.g., a cryptographic hardware module). NEW: The private key is inaccessible due to being protected by the system (e.g., a cryptographic hardware module). Since hidden keys are only ever reported in <operational>, the value 'permanently-hidden' never appears in <intended>. > The new descriptions say: > > [...] present only in > <operational> and bound to the lifetime of the parent > 'config true' node. > > Aren't all nodes bound to the lifetime of their parent? > The action is invoked in a node that exists in <operational> and it > creates a key. What does the statement tell me? This seems like something new (and maybe wrong) and hence needs to be explained. This seems new because we are saying that the lifetime of an operational value is tied to the lifetime of a configured value. Normally we talk about how operational values exist on their own and that, if one wants to override/extend them (e.g., associate a certificate to the private key created by the manufacturer), configuration would overlay the operational values. By extension, if the configuration is removed, the operational values go back to their original state (i.e., existing on their own). Here we're saying that, if the configuration (for the parent node) is removed, the operational values are removed as well. Note that this statement was added because Juergen asked about how hidden keys could be removed/replaced. We iterated towards not wanting to support the "replace" case, and this seemed like an easy way to handle the "remove" case. Another way to do this would be via another action such as 'remove-hidden-key'. What do you think would be best? Kent // contributor
