+General Security Requirements
+
+Integration and operation within a robust security environment is necessary and expected. The security architecture will include one or more of the following: IDAM (Identity and Access Management) for all system and applications access, Code scanning, network vulnerability scans, OS, Database and application patching, malware detection and cleaning, DDOS prevention, network security gateways (internal and external) operating at various layers, host and application based tools for security compliance validation, aggressive security patch application, tightly controlled software distribution and change control processes and other state of the art security solutions. The VNF is expected to function reliably within such an environment and the developer is expected to understand and accommodate such controls and can expected to supply responsive interoperability support and testing throughout the product’s lifecycle.
+
+* R-xxxxx The VNF **MUST** accommodate the security principle of “least privilege” during development, implementation and operation. The importance of “least privilege” cannot be overstated and must be observed in all aspects of VNF development and not limited to security. This is applicable to all sections of this document.
+* R-xxxxx The VNF **MUST** implement access control list for OA&M services (e.g., restricting access to certain ports or applications).
+* R-xxxxx The VNF **MUST** implement Data Storage Encryption (database/disk encryption) for Sensitive Personal Information (SPI) and other subscriber identifiable data. Note: subscriber’s SPI/data must be encrypted at rest, and other subscriber identifiable data should be encrypted at rest. Other data protection requirements exist and should be well understood by the developer.
+* R-xxxxx The VNF **SHOULD** implement a mechanism for automated and frequent "system configuration (automated provisioning / closed loop)" auditing.
+* R-xxxxx The VNF **SHOULD** be scanned using both network scanning and application scanning security tools on all code, including underlying OS and related configuration. Scan reports shall be provided. Remediation roadmaps shall be made available for any findings.
+* R-xxxxx The VNF **SHOULD** have source code scanned using scanning tools (e.g., Fortify) and provide reports. 
+* R-xxxxx The VNF **MUST** distribute all production code from NCSP internal sources only. No production code, libraries, OS images, etc. shall be distributed from publically accessible depots.
+* R-xxxxx The VNF **MUST** provide all code/configuration files in a “Locked down” or hardened state or with documented recommendations for such hardening. All unnecessary services will be disabled. Vendor default credentials, community strings and other such artifacts will be removed or disclosed so that they can be modified or removed during provisioning.
+* R-xxxxx The VNF **SHOULD** support L3 VPNs that enable segregation of traffic by application (dropping packets not belonging to the VPN) (i.e., AVPN, IPSec VPN for Internet routes).
+* R-xxxxx The VNF **SHOULD** interoperate with various access control mechanisms for the Network Cloud execution environment (e.g., Hypervisors, containers).
+* R-xxxxx The VNF **SHOULD** support the use of virtual trusted platform module, hypervisor security testing and standards scanning tools.
+* R-xxxxx The VNF **MUST** interoperate with the ONAP (SDN) Controller so that it can dynamically modify the firewall rules, ACL rules, QoS rules, virtual routing and forwarding rules.
+* R-xxxxx The VNF **SHOULD** support the ability to work with aliases (e.g., gateways, proxies) to protect and encapsulate resources.
+* R-xxxxx The VNF **MUST** pass all access to applications (Bearer, signaling and OA&M) through various security tools and platforms from ACLs, stateful firewalls and application layer gateways depending on manner of deployment. The application is expected to function (and in some cases, interwork) with these security tools.
+* R-xxxxx The VNF **MUST** have all vulnerabilities patched as soon as possible. Patching shall be controlled via change control process with vulnerabilities disclosed along with mitigation recommendations.
+* R-xxxxx The VNF **MUST** use the NCSP’s IDAM API for Identification, authentication and access control of customer or VNF application users.
+* R-xxxxx The VNF **MUST** use the NCSP’s IDAM API or comply with the requirements if not using the NCSP’s IDAM API, for identification, authentication and access control of OA&M and other system level functions.
+* R-xxxxx The VNF **MUST**, if not using the NCSP’s IDAM API, support User-IDs and passwords to uniquely identify the user/application. VNF needs to have appropriate connectors to the Identity, Authentication and Authorization systems that enables access at OS, Database and Application levels as appropriate.
+* R-xxxxx The VNF **MUST**, if not using the NCSP’s IDAM API, provide the ability to support Multi-Factor Authentication (e.g., 1st factor = Software token on device (RSA SecureID); 2nd factor = User Name+Password, etc.) for the users.
+* R-xxxxx The VNF **MUST**, if not using the NCSP’s IDAM API, support Role-Based Access Control to permit/limit the user/application to performing specific activities.
+* R-xxxxx The VNF **MUST**, if not using the NCSP’s IDAM API, support logging via ONAP for a historical view of “who did what and when”.
+* R-xxxxx The VNF **MUST**, if not using the NCSP’s IDAM API, encrypt OA&M access (e.g., SSH, SFTP).
+* R-xxxxx The VNF **MUST**, if not using the NCSP’s IDAM API, enforce a configurable maximum number of Login attempts policy for the users. VNF vendor must comply with "terminate idle sessions" policy. Interactive sessions must be terminated, or a secure, locking screensaver must be activated requiring authentication, after a configurable period of inactivity. The system-based inactivity timeout for the enterprise identity and access management system must also be configurable.
+* R-xxxxx The VNF **MUST**, if not using the NCSP’s IDAM API, comply with the NCSP’s credential management policy.
+* R-xxxxx The VNF **MUST**, if not using the NCSP’s IDAM API, expire passwords at regular configurable intervals.
+* R-xxxxx The VNF **MUST**, if not using the NCSP’s IDAM API, comply with "password complexity" policy. When passwords are used, they shall be complex and shall at least meet the following password construction requirements: (1) be a minimum configurable number of characters in length, (2) include 3 of the 4 following types of characters: upper-case alphabetic, lower-case alphabetic, numeric, and special, (3) not be the same as the UserID with which they are associated or other common strings as specified by the environment, (4) not contain repeating or sequential characters or numbers, (5) not to use special characters that may have command functions, and (6) new passwords must not contain sequences of three or more characters from the previous password.
+* R-xxxxx The VNF **MUST**, if not using the NCSP’s IDAM API, comply with "password changes (includes default passwords)" policy. Products will support password aging, syntax and other credential management practices on a configurable basis.
+* R-xxxxx The VNF **MUST**, if not using the NCSP’s IDAM API, support use of common third party authentication and authorization tools such as TACACS+, RADIUS.
+* R-xxxxx The VNF **MUST**, if not using the NCSP’s IDAM API, comply with "No Self-Signed Certificates" policy. Self-signed certificates must be used for encryption only, using specified and approved encryption protocols such as LS 1.1 or higher or equivalent security protocols such as IPSec, AES.
+* R-xxxxx The VNF **MUST**, if not using the NCSP’s IDAM API, authenticate system to system communications were one system accesses the resources of another system, and must never conceal individual accountability.
