Text for security section.

The YANG module defined in this document will be accessed via the NETCONF protocol [RFC6241] or RESTCONF protocol [RFC8040]. The lowest NETCONF layer is the secure transport layer, and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is Secure Shell (SSH) [RFC6242]. The lowest RESTCONF layer is HTTPS and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is TLS [RFC8446].

The Network Configuration Access Control Model (NACM) [RFC8341] provides the means to restrict access to particular NETCONF or RESTCONF users to a preconfigured subset of all available NETCONF or RESTCONF protocol operations and content.

Some of the RPC operations defined in this YANG module may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus essential to control access to these operations.

Operations defined in this document, and their sensitivities and possible vulnerabilities, will be discussed further in future versions of this document.

The text on Security Considerations should be updated once the YANG model is stable.
