The IESG has received a request from the Routing Area Working Group WG (rtgwg) to consider the following document: - 'Routing Key Chain YANG Data Model' <draft-ietf-rtgwg-yang-key-chain-15.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2017-03-30. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document describes the key chain YANG data model. A key chain is a list of elements each containing a key string, send lifetime, accept lifetime, and algorithm (authentication or encryption). By properly overlapping the send and accept lifetimes of multiple key chain elements, key strings and algorithms may be gracefully updated. By representing them in a YANG data model, key distribution can be automated. Key chains are commonly used for routing protocol authentication and other applications. In some applications, the protocols do not use the key chain element key directly, but rather a key derivation function is used to derive a short-lived key from the key chain element key (e.g., the Master Keys used in the TCP Authentication Option.
