<section anchor="introduction">
      <name>Introduction</name>
      <t>Some of the items defined in YANG <xref target="RFC7950"/> require the use of a
unique identifier.
In both the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) <xref target="RFC6241"/> and RESTCONF <xref target="RFC8040"/>, these identifiers are implemented using names.
To allow the implementation of data models defined in YANG in constrained devices <xref target="RFC7228"/> and constrained networks, a more compact method to identify YANG items is required.
This compact identifier, called the YANG Schema Item iDentifier or YANG SID (or simply SID in this document and when the context is clear), is encoded using a 63-bit unsigned integer.
The limitation to 63-bit unsigned integers allows SIDs to be manipulated more easily on platforms that might otherwise lack 64-bit unsigned arithmetic.
The loss of a single bit of range is not significant significant, given the size of the remaining space.</t>
      <t>The following items are identified using SIDs:</t>
      <ul spacing="normal">
        <li>
          <t>identities</t>
        </li>
        <li>
          <t>data nodes (Note: (note: including those nodes defined by the
'rc:yang-data' extension <xref target="RFC8040"/> and the 'sx:structure' extension <xref target="RFC8791"/> extensions.)</t> target="RFC8791"/>)</t>

      <t>It is possible that some protocols will use only a subset of the assigned SIDs, SIDs; for
example, for protocols equivalent to NETCONF <xref target="RFC6241"/> like <xref target="I-D.ietf-core-comi"/> target="CORE-COMI"/>, the
transportation

might need to be able to transport this information, information -- for example example, protocols
related to discovery such as the Constrained YANG Module Library <xref target="I-D.ietf-core-yang-library"/>.</t> target="YANG-LIBRARY"/>.

<!-- [rfced] Section 1:  We found the use of "equivalent" in this
sentence confusing, as draft-ietf-core-comi says "CORECONF extends
the set of YANG based protocols, NETCONF and RESTCONF, with the
capability to manage constrained devices and networks".  If the
suggested text is not correct, please provide clarifying text.

Original:
 It is possible that some protocols use only a subset of the assigned
 SIDs, for example, for protocols equivalent to NETCONF [RFC6241] like
 [I-D.ietf-core-comi] the transportation of YANG module SIDs might be
 unnecessary.

 NETCONF [RFC6241], such as [CORE-COMI], the transport of YANG module
 SIDs might be unnecessary. -->

</t>
      <t>SIDs are globally unique integers.  A registration system is used in order to
guarantee their uniqueness. SIDs are registered in blocks called "SID ranges".
Once they are considered "stable", SIDs are assigned permanently.
Items introduced by a new revision of a YANG
module are added to the list of SIDs already assigned.
This is discussed in more detail in <xref target="objectives"/>.</t>
      <t>Assignment
      <t>The assignment of SIDs to YANG items is usually automated as
discussed in <xref target="sid-auto-generation"/>, which also discusses some cases
where manual interventions may be appropriate.</t>
      <t><xref target="sid-lifecycle"/> provides more details about the registration processes for YANG
modules and associated SIDs. To enable the implementation of these processes,
<xref target="sid-file-format"/> defines a standard file format used to store and publish
SIDs.

<!-- [rfced] Section 1:  We found "this registry" odd in this
context.  We updated this sentence as follows.  If this is incorrect,
please provide text that clarifies what "this registry" means here.

Original (the previous sentence is included for context):
 Section 3 provides more details about the registration process of
 YANG modules and associated SIDs.  To enable the implementation of
 this registry,
<xref target="sid-file-format"/> Section 4 defines a standard file format used to store

SIDs.</t>

 these processes, Section 4 defines a standard file format used to

</t>
      <t>IETF-managed YANG modules that need to allocate SIDs will use the IANA mechanism specified in this document.
YANG modules created by other parties allocate SID ranges using the IANA allocation mechanisms via Mega-Ranges (see <xref target="mega-range-registry"/>); within the Mega-Range allocation, those other parties are free to make up their own mechanism.</t> mechanism.

<!-- [rfced] Section 1:  We had trouble following this sentence, as it
appears that several IANA-related mechanisms are specified in this
document.  If the suggested text is not correct, please clarify the

      <t>While IANA ultimately maintains the registries that govern SIDs for
IETF-defined modules, various support tools (such as, at the time of
writing, the YANG Catalog <xref target="yangcatalog"/>)
need to provide the support to enable SID assignment and use for
modules still in IETF development.  Developers of open-source or
proprietary YANG modules also need to be able to serve as such
entities autonomously, possibly forming alliances independent of the
IETF, while still fitting in the overall SID number space managed by
IANA.  Obviously, this process has a number of parallels to the
management of IP addresses, addresses but also is also very different.</t>
      <section anchor="technical-objectives">
        <name>Technical Objectives</name>
        <t>As discussed in the introduction, <xref format="none" target="introduction">the Introduction</xref>, SIDs are intended as globally unique

        <t>Specifically, this means that:</t>
        <dl>
          <dt><strong>Objective 1</strong> (<bcp14>MUST</bcp14>):</dt>

            <t>Any 63-bit unsigned integer is either (1)&nbsp;is unassigned as a SID or immutably (2)&nbsp;immutably maps to EXACTLY one YANG name.
Only the transition from unassigned to that immutable mapping is
defined.</t>

        </dl>
        <t>This enables a recipient of a data structure employing SIDs to
translate them into the globally meaningful YANG names that the

YANG-JSON <xref target="RFC7951"/> employ today.</t>
<!-- [rfced] Please confirm that YANG-XML and YANG-JSON will be widely understood, as they are not commonly used in RFCs (YANG-XML appears once in RFC 9254 and YANG-JSON has never been used).

   translate them into the globally meaningful YANG names that the
   existing encodings of YANG data such as YANG-XML [RFC7950] and YANG-
   JSON [RFC7951] employ today.
-->

        <t>The term YANG name "YANG name" is not defined outside this document, and YANG has
a complex system of names and entities that can have those names.
Instead of defining the term technically, this set of objectives uses
it in such a way that the overall objectives of YANG-SID YANG SID can be
achieved.</t>
        <t>A desirable objective is that:</t>
        <dl>
          <dt><strong>Objective 2</strong> (<bcp14>SHOULD</bcp14>):</dt>
          <dd>
            <t>any
            <t>Any YANG name in active use has one SID assigned.</t>
          </dd>
        </dl>
        <t>This means that:</t>
        <ol spacing="normal" type="1"><li>
            <t>There should not be YANG names without SIDs assigned</t> assigned.</t>
          </li>

            <t>YANG names should not have multiple SIDs assigned</t> assigned.</t>
          </li>
        </ol>
        <t>These objectives are unattainable in full, because YANG names are not
necessarily born with a SID assignment, assignment and because entirely autonomous
entities might decide to assign SIDs for the same YANG name without
communicating ("like ships in the night").
Note that as long as this autonomy is maintained, any single observer
will have the impression that Objective 2 is attained.
Only when entities that have acted autonomously start communicating, communicating will a
deviation is be observed.</t>

The technical objectives listed above are states in terms that are

        <t>However, some modules are still in a very fluid state, and the

        <t>This grouping of roles and parties puts the module developer into in a
position where it can achieve the objectives laid out in this section
(a "type-1", "SID-guiding" module controller).

files are always provided by the module developer with the module.)</t>

heard about SIDs or may not be interested in assigning them (e.g., because

        <t>For these two cases (which we will call "type-3", "SID-oblivious" module

users access to a SID assigner that is carefully chosen to be a likely

of achieving Objective 2.

</t>
        <t>If a module controller has heard about SIDs, SIDs but is not assigning
them yet, it can designate a SID assigner instead.  This can lead to a
stable, unique set of SID assignments being provided indirectly by a
(type-2,
("type-2", "SID-aware") module developer.  Entities offering designated
SID assigner services could make these available in an easy-to-use
way, e.g., via a Web web interface.</t>
        <t>The entity acting as a SID assigner minimally needs to record the SID
range it uses for the SID assignment.  If the SID range registry can
record the module name and revision, revision and if the assignment processes
(including the software used) are stable, the SID assigner can
theoretically reconstruct its assignments, but this is an invitation
for could invite
implementation bugs.</t>
        <t>SID assigners attending to a module in development (not yet stable)
need to decide whether SIDs for a new revision are re-assigned reassigned from
scratch ("clean-slate") ("clean slate") or use existing assignments from a previous
revision as a base, only assigning new SIDs for new names.

modules, some review may be needed before this is done).</t>

      <t>YANG is a language designed to model data accessed using one of the compatible
protocols (e.g. (e.g., NETCONF <xref target="RFC6241"/>, RESTCONF <xref target="RFC8040"/> target="RFC8040"/>, and CORECONF the CoAP Management Interface (CORECONF) <xref target="I-D.ietf-core-comi"/>). target="CORE-COMI"/>). A
YANG module defines hierarchies of data, including configuration, state data,
RPCs, actions actions, and notifications.</t>
      <t>Many YANG modules are not created in the context of constrained
applications. YANG modules can be implemented using NETCONF <xref target="RFC6241"/> or
RESTCONF <xref target="RFC8040"/> without the need to assign SIDs.</t>
      <t>As needed, authors of YANG modules can assign SIDs to their YANG modules. In
order to do that, they should first obtain a SID range from a registry and use
that range to assign or generate SIDs to items of in their YANG module. The
assignments can then be stored in a ".sid" file. For an
example on of how this could be achieved, please refer to <xref target="sid-lifecycle-ex"/>.</t>
      <t>Items introduced by a new revision of a YANG module are added to the list of SIDs already assigned.
When this is done during the development of a new protocol document, it may be necessary to make provisional assignments.
They may get changed, revised revised, or withdrawn during the development of a new standard.
These provisional assignments are marked with a status of "unstable",
so that they can be removed and the SID number possibly be reassigned
for a different YANG schema name/path later during development. in the development process.
When the specification is advanced to a final document, then
the assignment is marked with a status of "stable".
During a period of development starting from a published
specification, two variants of the SID file should
be made available by the tooling involved in that development: (1) a
"published" SID file with the existing stable SID assignments only
(which the development effort should keep stable), as
well as (2) an "unpublished" SID file that also contains the unstable
SID assignments.</t>
      <t>Registration of the ".sid" file associated to with a YANG module is optional but
recommended, <!-- sic. --> in order to promote interoperability between devices and to avoid duplicate
allocation of SIDs to a single YANG module. Different registries might have
different requirements for the registration and publication of the ".sid"

the result of new processing or reported errata, we updated this
sentence accordingly.  If this is incorrect, please provide
clarifying text.

      <t>This document defines a new type of identifier used to encode data that are modeled in YANG <xref target="RFC7950"/>.
This new identifier maps semantic concepts to integers, and if the
source of this mapping is not trusted, then new security risks might
occur if an attacker can control the mapping.</t>
      <t>At the time of writing, it is expected that the SID files will be
processed by a software developer, within a software development
environment.  Developers are advised to only import SID files from
authoritative sources.  IANA is the authoritative source for IETF
managed IETF-managed
YANG modules.</t>
      <t>Conceptually, SID files could be processed by less-constrained target
systems such as network management systems.  Such systems need to take
extra care to make sure that they are only processing SID files from
authoritative sources, sources that are as authoritative as the YANG modules that they
are using.</t>
      <t>SID files are identified with and can employ <em>dereferenceable
identifiers</em>, i.e., identifiers that could lead implementations in
certain situations to automatically perform a remote access access, the target
of which is indicated at least partially by those identifiers.
This can give an attacker information from and/or control over such
accesses, which can have security and privacy implications.

          <t>The size of the SID range allocated for a YANG module is recommended to be a multiple of 50 and to be at least 33% above the current number of YANG items. This headroom allows assignment assignments within the same range of new YANG items introduced by subsequent revisions. The SID range size <bcp14>SHOULD NOT</bcp14> exceed 1000; a larger size may be requested by the authors if this recommendation is considered insufficient. It is important to note that an additional SID range can be allocated to an existing YANG module if the initial range is exhausted; this then just leads to a slightly less efficient representation.</t>

Original:
   For a type-2 (SID-aware)
   developer, the team first obtains the existing draft SID file from a

   type-3 (SID-oblivious) developers: the SIDs used in the text need to
   be assigned in the existing draft SID file, and the designated expert
   team needs to check that the assignments in the final SID file are
   consistent with the usage in the RFC text or that the approved draft
   test is changed appropriately.
-->

          <t>During an RFC's publication process, IANA contacts the designated expert team
("the team"), who are responsible for delivering a final SID file for
each module defined by the RFC.
For a type-3 developer (SID-oblivious, (SID-oblivious; see <xref target="parties-roles"/>), the team
creates a new SID file from each YANG module, module; see below.
For a type-2 (SID-aware) developer, the team first obtains the existing draft SID
file from a stable reference in the approved draft; for a type-1 (SID-guiding)
developer, the team extracts the SID file from the approved draft.</t>
<!-- [rfced] Please remind us of the implications for publishing - is it correct that a) the RPC should coordinate with IANA when AUTH48 is complete, so the team can generate the final SID file from the most current YANG module, and b) IANA will then provide the RPC with the link to the SID file to be included in the RFC?

Based on the text in this document, we expect that a final link will not appear in this RFC.  We believe the example SID file in this document is final and does not need to be rechecked by the team.  Please confirm that this is correct.
-->

          <t>The team uses a tool to generate a final SID file from each YANG
module; the final SID file has all SID assignments set to "stable" and
the SID file status set to "published".
A published ".sid" file <bcp14>MUST NOT</bcp14> contain SID assignments with a
status of "unstable".

<!-- [rfced] Section 6.4.3:  As it appears that 'an unstable status'
means 'a status of "unstable"', we updated this sentence accordingly.
If this is incorrect, please clarify "an unstable status" (e.g., does
it refer to more than one type of status?).

</t>
          <t>For the cases other than type-3 (SID-oblivious), the team feeds the existing draft SID
file as an input ("reference SID file") to the tool so that the changes resulting from
re-generation
regeneration are minimal.
For YANG modules that are revisions of previously published modules,
any existing published SID file needs to serve as a reference SID file
for the tool, either during generation of either the revised draft SID file (type-1,
type-2) or during generation of the final SID file (type-3).</t>
          <t>In any case, the team checks the generated file, including checking for
validity as a SID file, for consistency with the SID range
allocations, for full coverage of the YANG items in the YANG module, and
for the best achievable consistency with the existing draft SID file.</t>
          <t>The designated experts then give the SID file to IANA to publish into in
the "IETF YANG SID Registry SID" registry (<xref target="ietf-sid-registry"/>) along with the YANG

The second strategy, called the "double backslash" strategy, extends the first strategy by adding a second backslash character to identify where the continuation begins

   converted to YANG.  CORECONF uses the YANG to CBOR mapping and
   converts YANG identifier strings to numeric identifiers for payload

   NETCONF and RESTCONF, with the capability to manage constrained
   devices and networks.

              <t>   This document defines the Constrained Bootstrapping Remote Secure Key
   Infrastructure (Constrained BRSKI) protocol, which provides a
   solution for secure zero-touch bootstrapping of resource-constrained
   (IoT) devices into the network of a domain owner.  This protocol is
   designed for constrained networks, which may have limited data
   throughput or may experience frequent packet loss.  Constrained BRSKI
   is a variant of the BRSKI protocol, which uses an artifact signed by
   the device manufacturer called the "voucher" which enables a new
   device and the owner's network to mutually authenticate.  While the
   BRSKI voucher is typically encoded in JSON, Constrained BRSKI uses a
   compact CBOR-encoded voucher.  The BRSKI voucher definition is
   extended with new data types that allow for smaller voucher sizes.
   The Enrollment over Secure Transport (EST) protocol, used in BRSKI,
   is replaced with EST-over-CoAPS; and HTTPS used in BRSKI is replaced
   with DTLS-secured CoAP (CoAPS).  This document Updates RFC 8366 and
   RFC 8995.

              <t>   In a protocol or an application environment, it is often important to
   be able to create unambiguous identifiers for some meaning (concept
   or some entity).

   Due to the simplicity of creating URIs, these have become popular for
   this purpose.  Beyond the purpose of identifiers to be uniquely
   associated with a meaning, some of these URIs are in principle
   _dereferenceable_, so something can be placed that can be retrieved
   when encountering such a URI.

   // The present -01 version is a stub to draw some attention to the
   // opportunity that this pattern would benefit from a common
   // description, documenting its benefits and pitfalls, and some
   // mitigations for the latter.

      <t>The assignment of SIDs to YANG items <bcp14>SHOULD</bcp14> be automated.

        </li>
        <li>
          <t>SIDs are assigned sequentially from the entry point up to the size of the registered SID range. This approach is recommended to minimize the serialization overhead, especially when the delta between a reference SID and the current SID is used by protocols aiming to reduce message size.</t>

        <li>
          <t>If the number of items exceeds the SID range(s) allocated to a YANG module, an extra range is added for subsequent assignments.</t>

      <t>When updating a YANG module that is in active use, the existing SID assignments are maintained.
(In contrast, when evolving an early draft that has not yet been adopted by a community of developers, SID assignments are often better done from scratch after a revision.)
If the name of a schema node changes, changes but the data remain structurally and semantically similar to what was previously available under an old name, the SID that was used for the old name <bcp14>MAY</bcp14> continue to be used for the new name.
If the meaning of an item changes, a new SID <bcp14>MAY</bcp14> be assigned to it; this is particularly useful to allow for allowing the new SID to identify the new structure or semantics of the item.
If the YANG data type changes in a new revision of a published module, module
such that the resulting CBOR encoding is changed, then implementations will be aided significantly if a new SID is assigned.
Note that these decisions are generally at the discretion of the YANG module author, who should decide if the benefits of a manual intervention are worth the deviation from automatic assignment.</t>
      <t>In the case of an update to an existing ".sid" file, an additional step is needed
that increments the ".sid" file version number. If there was no version number
in the previous version of the ".sid" file, 0 is assumed as to be the version number
of the old version of the ".sid" file and the version number is 1 for the new
".sid" file. Apart from that, changes of to ".sid" files can also be automated using
the same method as that described above, except that in step #3, only unassigned YÀNG YANG items are processed at
step #3. Already existing processed. Already-existing items in the ".sid" file should not be given new SIDs.</t> SIDs.

new YANG module or each new revision of an existing YANG module, the version
number of the initial ".sid" file should either (1)&nbsp;should be 0 or should (2)&nbsp;should not be present.</t>
      <t>Note also that RPC or action "input" and "output" YANG items <bcp14>MUST</bcp14> always be
assigned SID SIDs even if they don't contain further YANG items. The reason for this
requirement is that other modules can augment the given module and those SIDs
might be necessary.</t>

      <t>Before assigning SIDs to their YANG modules, YANG module authors must acquire a
SID range from a "YANG registry of YANG SID Range Registry". ranges. If the YANG module is part of an IETF
draft
Internet-Draft or RFC, the SID range need needs to be acquired from the "IETF YANG SID Range
Registry" Range"
registry as defined in <xref target="ietf-iana-sid-range-allocation"/>. For the other YANG
modules, the authors can choose to acquire a SID range from any registry of YANG SID ranges.

<!-- [rfced] Appendix C:  We found these quoted and capitalized
items confusing.  Because they are used generally and appear to
indicate a possible variety of registries other than those to be

us know any concerns.  (For example, could there be future
non-IANA-managed registries that would share the same names as the

HMfmTTzL56M0S+k1dFCV2HAkRW568mwQ/f8Xqn71LiQBAA== [rfced] Please review the "Inclusive Language" portion of the
online Style Guide at
<https://www.rfc-editor.org/styleguide/part2/#inclusive_language>,
and let us know if any changes are needed.

Note that our script did not flag any words in particular, but this
should still be reviewed as a best practice. -->

<!-- [rfced] Please let us know if any changes are needed for the
following:

a) The following terms were used inconsistently in this document.
We chose to use the latter forms.  Please let us know any objections.

 Early Allocation / early allocation (in text) (per post-6000
   published RFCs)

 work-in-progress (Section 4) / work in progress (Figure 4)

 YANG-SID (1 instance) / YANG SID (approx. 16 instances in text)

b) The following terms appear to be used inconsistently in this
document.  Please let us know which form is preferred.

 mega-range / Mega-Range (in running text)

 schema node / schema-node (where used as an adjective,
   e.g., "schema node name", "schema-node path")

 Quotes, capitalization, leading periods:
   .sid file (16 instances in the YANG module;
   also the title of Figure 3) /
   ".sid" file (63 instances in running text) /
   sid file ('"description": "Example sid file"' in Figure 3) /
   SID file (32 instances in running text)

   Suggested:  For ".sid file", single quotes in the YANG module and
     double quotes in the title of Figure 3.  For "sid file" vs.
     "SID file", if you don't want to use leading periods or quotes,
     we suggest going with "SID file".

 YANG SID Range / YANG SID range (used generally, e.g.,
   "a YANG SID Range", "The YANG SID range first available value")

c) Please let us know how/if the following should be made consistent:

Numbers with and without commas, with and without spaces.  For example,
 1000 to 59,999
 1,000
 1000000
 1 000 000 (please note that "multiple of 1 000 000" breaks across a
   line in the text output)
 4 295 000 000

 Note:  IANA does not use spaces or commas in the registries created
   by this document. -->
