Since this wasn't answered then my vote is deny and I will happily write opinion text. I wasn't present at the meeting but I did review the materials (hence why I had issues in the file). I have listened to the Audio and I'm not happy with the answer on the lack of FC-SP support. The rationale of it being local within the data centre is a false assumption of physical security. The only excuse for not implementing FC-SP is if it is fundamentally flawed and/or has a more secure standard replacement. Given that FC-SP is not being implemented I would like a TCR that explains the risks of FCoE clearly in the user visible documentation (docs.sun.com and man pages) and a commitment for either docs.sun.com information or a Sun blueprint on how to secure FCoE connections other than by assuming physical security. Note that the TCR is in addition to my deny. The only way I can be swayed from a deny is if FC-SP is implement or it the protocol is not actually secure so implementing it would do more harm (by providing a false sense of security, eg like WEP) than good. Just because it hasn't been widely accepted isn't an excuse - we should lead here not follow the pack. At the very least we can make Solaris to Solaris use of FCoE secure. -- Darren J Moffat From sac-owner Wed Jul 1 17:12:45 2009 Received: from sunmail4.singapore.sun.com (sunmail4.Singapore.Sun.COM [129.158.71.19]) by sac.sfbay.sun.com (8.13.8+Sun/8.13.8) with ESMTP id n620CiLr024802 for ; Wed, 1 Jul 2009 17:12:44 -0700 (PDT) Received: from nwk-avmta-2.sfbay.sun.com (nwk-avmta-2.SFBay.Sun.COM [129.145.155.6]) by sunmail4.singapore.sun.com (8.13.4+Sun/8.13.3/ENSMAIL,v2.2) with ESMTP id n620CdSA008790 for <@sunmail2sca.sfbay.sun.com:sac-review@sun.com>; Thu, 2 Jul 2009 08:12:43 +0800 (SGT) Received: from pmxchannel-daemon.nwk-avmta-2.sfbay.sun.com by nwk-avmta-2.sfbay.sun.com (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2-3.04 (built Jul 15 2005)) id <0KM400905OL75H00@nwk-avmta-2.sfbay.sun.com> for sac-review@sun.com (ORCPT sac-review@sun.com); Wed, 01 Jul 2009 17:12:43 -0700 (PDT) Received: from sca-es-mail-1.sun.com ([192.18.43.132]) by nwk-avmta-2.sfbay.sun.com (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2-3.04 (built Jul 15 2005)) with ESMTP id <0KM4003DKOL6K150@nwk-avmta-2.sfbay.sun.com> for sac-review@sun.com (ORCPT sac-review@sun.com); Wed, 01 Jul 2009 17:12:42 -0700 (PDT) Received: from fe-sfbay-10.sun.com ([192.18.43.129]) by sca-es-mail-1.sun.com (8.13.7+Sun/8.12.9) with ESMTP id n620CgmG009054 for ; Wed, 01 Jul 2009 17:12:42 -0700 (PDT) Received: from conversion-daemon.fe-sfbay-10.sun.com by fe-sfbay-10.sun.com (Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 7u2-7.02 64bit (built Apr 16 2009)) id <0KM400800OCTHZ00@fe-sfbay-10.sun.com> for sac-review@sun.com (ORCPT sac-review@sun.com); Wed, 01 Jul 2009 17:12:42 -0700 (PDT) Received: from [129.153.2.5] ([unknown] [129.153.2.5]) by fe-sfbay-10.sun.com (Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 7u2-7.02 64bit (built Apr 16 2009)) with ESMTPSA id <0KM4007IVOL6AH30@fe-sfbay-10.sun.com> for sac-review@sun.com (ORCPT sac-review@sun.com); Wed, 01 Jul 2009 17:12:42 -0700 (PDT) Date: Wed, 01 Jul 2009 17:12:41 -0700 From: "Garrett D'Amore" Subject: PSARC 2008/310 FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet) Target [Draft Opinion for Review] Sender: Garrett.Damore@sun.com To: sac-review@sun.com, storycrafter@gmail.com Message-id: <4A4BFB79.6040305@sun.com> MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: multipart/alternative; boundary="Boundary_(ID_aecN3lObxM23Tt71IOALZw)" X-PMX-Version: 5.4.1.325704 User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.19 (X11/20090110) Status: RO Content-Length: 9848 This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --Boundary_(ID_aecN3lObxM23Tt71IOALZw) Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT The following draft opinion was written by an external Intern, Mark Martin, and I'm forwarding it on for him. I've CC'd him on this message. Sun Microsystems Systems Architecture Committee _________________________________________________________________ Subject: FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet) Target Submitted by: Zhong Wang File: PSARC/2008/310/opinion.txt Date: July 29th, 2008. Committee: Mark Carlson (opinion written by Mark Martin), Rick Mathews. Minority: Darren J Moffat Product Approval Committee: Solaris PAC solaris-pac-opinion at sun.com 1. Summary This project provides FCoE (Fiber Channel over Ethernet) capability to Solaris based on COMSTAR (the SCSI target framework) by using selected Gigabit and 10GbE NICs, instead of special hardware adapters (CNA). 2. Decision & Precedence Information The project is approved as specified in reference [1]. The project may be delivered in a minor release. The project depends on the following projects. PSARC/2007/523 COMSTAR: Common Multiprotocol SCSI Target PSARC/2004/291 Fibre Channel HBA Port Utility PSARC/2004/571 Nemo - a.k.a. GLD v3 PSARC/2006/357 Crossbow - Network Virtualization and Resource Management 3. Interfaces Imported interfaces: - COMSTAR FCA interface - GLDv3 mac client interface Exported interfaces: - fcoe client interface (project private) - ioctls of fcoe and fcoet drivers (project private) 4. Opinion One issue raised was related to lack of support for the FC-SP protocol, which is an emerging security standard for FCoE. The project team explained that this standard was not full defined, and that security could be enabled through the network topology (i.e. protected private networks in the data centers). Further opinion on this issue can be found in the minority opinion. An additional issue raised was the lack of an RBAC profile for the fcadm command. A bug fix will be logged to address this -- it will not be part of this case. 5. Minority Opinion(s) The minority voted to deny this case based on the data security issues. FCoE has a defined security protcol FC-SP that the project team has chosen not to implement. The rationale for not implementing it is weak in the opinion of the minority. The project team stated that the risk was low because FCoE is used only on the local LAN - assuming the local LAN is secure is false it is often the most dangerous place on the network. The other part of the rationale was the project team claimed that FC-SP hadn't been widely implemented in the industry. If this is true it presents an opportunity for Sun to lead rather than trail if we can be the best and most secure implementation of FCoE that gives us a technical advantage we can market with. However based on the minorities brief search at least the following vendors have FC-SP support in at least one of their FCoE products including Solaris drivers: Emulex, Cisco, Qlogic (Solaris), Brocade (Solaris). Even if other vendors don't implement FC-SP for their FCoE implementation if Solaris does then at least Solaris to Solaris connections can be secured. FC-SP is important because it provides authentication, data integrity and data confidentiality of the data sent over the FC network. The minority also requests that the case have a TCR to document the security risks of unprotected FCoE traffic in the man pages and docs.sun.com documentation. The minority also requests Advice that the project team write a Sun Blueprint on how to adequately secure FCoE traffic in the absence of FC-SP 6. Advisory Information None. 7. Appendices 7.1.

1.  Summary

This project provides FCoE (Fiber Channel over Ethernet) capability to 
Solaris
based on COMSTAR (the SCSI target framework) by using selected Gigabit and
10GbE NICs, instead of special hardware adapters (CNA).
                
2.  Decision & Precedence Information

The project is approved as specified in reference [1].

The project may be delivered in a minor release.

The project depends on the following projects.

PSARC/2007/523 COMSTAR: Common Multiprotocol SCSI Target
PSARC/2004/291 Fibre Channel HBA Port Utility
PSARC/2004/571 Nemo - a.k.a. GLD v3
PSARC/2006/357 Crossbow - Network Virtualization and Resource Management

3.  Interfaces

Imported interfaces:
    - COMSTAR FCA interface
    - GLDv3 mac client interface
            
Exported interfaces:
    - fcoe client interface (project private)
    - ioctls of fcoe and fcoet drivers (project private)
                       
4.  Opinion

One issue raised was related to lack of support for the FC-SP protocol,
which is an emerging security standard for FCoE.  The project team
explained that this standard was not full defined, and that security
could be enabled through the network topology (i.e. protected private
networks in the data centers).  Further opinion on this issue can be
found in the minority opinion.

An additional issue raised was the lack of an RBAC profile for the fcadm
command.  A bug fix will be logged to address this -- it will not be
part of this case.

5.  Minority Opinion(s)

The minority voted to deny this case based on the data security issues.  
FCoE
has a defined security protcol FC-SP that the project team has chosen not to
implement.  The rationale for not implementing it is weak in the opinion 
of the
minority.  The project team stated that the risk was low because FCoE is 
used
only on the local LAN - assuming the local LAN is secure is false it is 
often
the most dangerous place on the network.  The other part of the 
rationale was
the project team claimed that FC-SP hadn't been widely implemented in the
industry. If this is true it presents an opportunity for Sun to lead rather
than trail if we can be the best and most secure implementation of FCoE that
gives us a technical advantage we can market with.  However based on the
minorities brief search at least the following vendors have FC-SP 
support in at
least one of their FCoE products including Solaris drivers: Emulex, Cisco,
Qlogic (Solaris), Brocade (Solaris).

Even if other vendors don't implement FC-SP for their FCoE implementation if
Solaris does then at least Solaris to Solaris connections can be secured.
FC-SP is important because it provides authentication, data integrity 
and data
confidentiality of the data sent over the FC network.

The minority also requests that the case have a TCR to document the security
risks of unprotected FCoE traffic in the man pages and docs.sun.com
documentation.  The minority also requests Advice that the project team 
write a
Sun Blueprint on how to adequately secure FCoE traffic in the absence of 
FC-SP
