1) Key Management The base key-chain draft <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-acee-rtg-yang-key-chain/> manages authentication keys using key-chains, where a key-chain consists of a set of keys.
However, the base key-chain draft also provides the flexibility to allow for different vendor implementations and different protocol implementations to manage authentication keys using the key-chain concept (or even using non-keychain concepts). 2) Properties of Keys Regardless of how keys are managed, some, if not all, of the authentication-key attributes defined in RFC 7210 are inherent attributes of an authentication-key, and are independent of how keys are managed. Examples of this include the "direction" of the key and the "KDF" to use with a key. (RFC 7210 is the standards-track definition of data needed for routing protocol authentication.) This draft <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-chen-rtg-key-table-yang/> defines OPTIONAL additions the key-chain draft so implementations MAY include all the authentication-key attributes described in RFC 7210. Because these additional authentication-key attributes are OPTIONAL, any implementation MAY choose to omit them. For example, a router that does not support the latest TCP-AO RFC to protect BGP would not care about the authentication-key "direction".

Name: draft-chen-rtg-key-table-yang Revision: 00 Title: YANG Data Model for RFC 7210 Key Table Document date: 2015-03-09 Group: Individual Submission Pages: 9 URL: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-chen-rtg-key-table-yang-00.txt Status: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-chen-rtg-key-table-yang/ Htmlized: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-chen-rtg-key-table-yang-00 Abstract: This document defines a YANG data model to describe the key table defined in RFC 7210. The data model defined in this document augments the existing key-chain model with additional key attributes specified in RFC 7210. Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.
