Re: [Panic] Scope Draft is Available

Hi,

The document looks good to me, thanks!

A couple of comments and a question from my side:

C1: The use of YANG to model the data to be exchanged and stored makes total sense to me, irrespectively of the concrete protocol used for pulls and pushes

C2: As long as device configuration is left out of scope, I don’t see what would be the additional issue with NAT

Q1: Any plans for a gathering in Prague?

Be goode,

All,
I have posted an updated draft scope here:  https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-waltermire-panic-scope-02.

I think we have addressed most of the issues brought up on list. I do not feel I adequately addressed making NAT out of scope (per Daniel's request) and would like some help on that.

Bob, to your questions on the relationship between our work and netconf, I think that we could best focus our time on extending YANG to meet the requirements we derive from this scoping statement. So, I stated that explicitly in this draft. I'd like to get feedback from the group on that approach, so please chime in if you like/dislike/love/loathe that idea.

Thanks,
Jess

David,

Do you have an update to your draft?

I don't see anything past the Apr 11 01.txt draft.

thanks

Hi,

I agree with David’s proposal, with just a few minor changes with respect to the original text, to make it more general, completely covering the virtual cases (NFV) and eliminating the term “device” to avoid too many equivalences...

Network operators need to know what is connected to their organization's networks so that they can properly manage those network elements. Managing these network endpoints, consisting of physical and virtual network infrastructure, requires access to information pertaining to them, including endpoint identity, the identity of software installed on the element, and the configuration setting values for the installed software. This information can be collected from different classes of elements over different protocols and using different data models. PANIC will identify a standardized solution to collect posture information for network element, and allow that information to be shared with authorized users and elements on the network supporting security automation. PANIC aims to reuse available standards for posture assessment where possible. The PANIC effort will avoid redefining information exchange technologies for use cases that have already been defined.

Be goode,

Panos, thanks for providing text.

We have participants that are approaching this problem space that are accustomed to using endpoint and network element. How about the following introduction text to draw an equivalence between these terms?

Also, I added your text to the security considerations section. I will post this in the -02 revision once we sort out the Introduction.

ACK. Below some proposed text:

For the Security Considerations Section:
  Further discussion here will address the threat introduced to the network
elements by the posture information collection. There should be protections
implemented to prevent the element from being vulnerable to DoS attacks
by frequent polling or pushing of posture data.

For the Introduction Section:
  ...automation. PANIC aims to reuse available standards for posture
assessment where possible. It will avoid redefining info exchange
technologies for usecases that have already been defined.

For the Introduction Section:
  ...manage those
  endpoints. Endpoints / Elements include hardware, software of virtual
network infrastructure devices.

hardware, software or virtual (NFV fails in this

category)

Hi David,

The document is clear.

One semantic objection I have is about the use of the word endpoint. I
believe the term is commonly used for user machines (laptops, cells,
tablets) . Network element or element is a little clearer.

I don't have a dog in this fight. I am happy to go either way (e.g., endpoint,
network element) if there is a preference in the group for one term or the
other. I'd like to hear other opinions on this.

A susggestion: The security section could mention the importance of
not introducing security concerns with the posture info collection.
For example a device should not be DoSable by too many polls, or it
should not push often enough that would introduce performance concerns
etc.

I think this is a good idea. Do you have some text in mind to drop in?

I think it will also be beneficial to be explicit about the types of
network elements. In the broad technologies that exist today, these
elements could be hardware, software or virtual (NFV fails in this
category). All of those should be in scope for this work.

All of these are in scope in my view.

Side comment: I would like this standardization effort to try to reuse
data formats and transports wherever possible and not come up with new
posture information descriptions. I think this is a common goal that
SACM has as well.

I share this goal as well. Should we document this in the draft?

Thanks,
Panos

Regards,
Dave

Welcome to the posture assessment through network information
collection
(PANIC) email list. At the side meeting on March 29th, we started
discussing the problem of how to measure the health of network
devices. We discussed the need to collect posture information from
network devices to support asset, software, vulnerability, and
configuration management use cases. We were asked by the group to
share a more detailed description of the intended scope for the PANIC
effort. The follow draft is an attempt to do
so:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-waltermire-panic-scope/

We would appreciate review of and comments on this draft. At this
point, we want to know if the this scope clearly defines the problem to be
solved.

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns, or if you
think the scope draft is adequate.

Regards,
David Waltermire
