A YANG Data Model for a Keystore
Overview
RFC 9642, “A YANG Data Model for a Keystore”, is a Proposed Standard document published in October 2024 by K. Watsen. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document presents a YANG module called "ietf-keystore" that enables centralized configuration of both symmetric and asymmetric keys. The secret value for both key types may be encrypted or hidden. Asymmetric keys may be associated with certificates. Notifications are sent when certificates are about to expire.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
