RPKI Signed Object for Trust Anchor Key
draft-ietf-sidrops-signed-tal-07
Abstract
A Trust Anchor Locator (TAL) is used by Relying Parties (RPs) in the
Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) to locate and validate a
Trust Anchor (TA) Certification Authority (CA) certificate used in
RPKI validation. This document defines an RPKI signed object for a
Trust Anchor Key (TAK), that can be used by a TA to signal the
location(s) of the accompanying CA certificate for the current key to
RPs, as well as the successor key and the location(s) of its CA
certificate. This object helps to support both planned and unplanned
key rolls without impacting RPKI validation.

Internet-Draft RPKI signed object for TAL June 2021
1. Requirements Notation
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP
14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.
2. Overview
A TAL [RFC8630] is used by an RP in the RPKI to locate and validate
TA CA certificates used in RPKI validation. However, until now there
has been no in-band way of notifying RPs of updates to a TAL. In-
band notification means that TAs can be more confident of RPs being
aware of key roll operations.
This document defines a new RPKI signed object that can be used to
document the location(s) of the TA CA certificate for the current TA
key, as well as the value of the successor key and the location(s) of
its TA CA certificate. This allows RPs to be notified automatically
of such changes, and enables TAs to pre-stage a successor key so that
planned and unplanned key rolls can be performed without risking the
invalidation of the RPKI tree under the TA. We call this object the
Trust Anchor Key (TAK) object.
When RPs are first bootstrapped, they use a TAL to discover the key
and location(s) of the CA certificate for a TA. The RP can then
retrieve and validate the CA certificate, and subsequently validate
the manifest [RFC6486] and CRL published by that TA (section 5 of
[RFC6487]). However, before processing any other objects it will
first validate the TAK object, if present. If the TAK object
indicates that the current key is still valid, then the RP updates
its local state to reflect any changes to the certificate location(s)
for that current key, and then continues processing as per normal.
If the TAK object indicates that the current key has been revoked,
then the RP will fetch the successor key, update its local state with
that key and its associated certificate location(s), and continue
processing using that key.
In a situation where an RP is very outdated, it may have to process a
large number of TAK objects in order to reach the current TA key.
This is a one-time cost only, though, since once the current TA key
is recorded as such by the RP, future operations will start at the
certificate location(s) for that TA key, and the previous TAK objects
will not need to be retrieved again.

Internet-Draft RPKI signed object for TAL June 2021
3. TAK Object Definition
The TAK object makes use of the template for RPKI digitally signed
objects [RFC6488], which defines a Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS)
[RFC5652] wrapper for the content as well as a generic validation
procedure for RPKI signed objects. Therefore, to complete the
specification of the TAK object (see Section 4 of [RFC6488]), this
document defines:
* The OID (in Section 3.1) that identifies the signed object as
being a TAK. (This OID appears within the eContentType in the
encapContentInfo object, as well as the content-type signed
attribute in the signerInfo object.)
* The ASN.1 syntax for the TAK eContent, in Section 3.2.
* The additional steps required to validate a TAK, in Section 3.3.
3.1. The TAK Object Content Type
This document requests an OID for the TAK object as follows:
id-ct-signed-Tal OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::=
{ iso(1) member-body(2) us(840) rsadsi(113549) pkcs(1) pkcs9(9)
smime(16) id-smime ct(1) TBD }
This OID MUST appear both within the eContentType in the
encapContentInfo object, as well as the content-type signed attribute
in the signerInfo object (see [RFC6488]).
3.2. The TAK Object eContent
The content of a TAK object is ASN.1 encoded using the Distinguished
Encoding Rules (DER) [X.690], and is defined per the module in
Appendix A.
3.2.1. TAKey
This structure defines a TA key, similarly to [RFC8630]. It contains
a sequence of one or more URIs and a SubjectPublicKeyInfo.
3.2.1.1. certificateURIs
This field is equivalent to the URI section defined in section 2.2 of
[RFC8630]. It MUST contain at least one CertificateURI element.
Each CertificateURI element contains the IA5String representation of
either an rsync URI [RFC5781], or an HTTPS URI [RFC7230].
Martinez, et al. Expires 20 December 2021 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft RPKI signed object for TAL June 2021
3.2.1.2. subjectPublicKeyInfo
This field contains a SubjectPublicKeyInfo (section 4.1.2.7 of
[RFC5280]) in DER format [X.690].
3.2.2. TAK
3.2.2.1. version
The version number of the TAK object MUST be 0.
3.2.2.2. current
This field contains the TA key of the repository in which the TAK
object is published.
3.2.2.3. successor
This field contains the TA key to be used once the current key is
revoked.
3.2.2.4. revoked
This field contains a boolean which (if true) indicates that the
current TA key should be considered as revoked, in which case RPs
should continue processing using the successor TA key.
3.3. TAK Object Validation
To determine whether a TAK object is valid, the RP MUST perform the
following checks in addition to those specified in [RFC6488]:
* The eContentType OID matches the OID described in Section 3.1.
* The TAK object appears as the product of a TA CA certificate.
* The TA CA has published only one TAK object in its repository for
this key, and this object appears on the manifest as the only
entry using the ".tak" extension (see [RFC6481]).
* The EE certificate of this TAK object describes its Internet
Number Resources (INRs) using the "inherit" attribute.
* The decoded TAK content conforms to the format defined in
Section 3.2.
Martinez, et al. Expires 20 December 2021 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft RPKI signed object for TAL June 2021
* The SubjectPublicKeyInfo value of the current TA key in the TAK
object matches that of the TA CA certificate used to issue the EE
certificate of the TAK object.
If any of these checks does not succeed, the RP MUST ignore the TAK
object, and proceed as though it were not listed on the manifest.
4. TAK Object Generation and Publication
A TA MAY choose to use TAK objects to communicate its current and
successor keys. If a TA chooses to use TAK objects, then it SHOULD
generate and publish TAK objects under each of its keys.
A non-normative guideline for naming this object is that the filename
chosen for the TAK object in the publication repository be a value
derived from the public key part of the entity's key pair, using the
algorithm described for CRLs in section 2.2 of [RFC6481] for
generation of filenames. The filename extension of ".tak" MUST be
used to denote the object as a TAK.
In order to generate a TAK object, the TA MUST perform the following
actions:
* The TA MUST generate a key pair for a "one-time-use" EE
certificate to use for the TAK.
* The TA MUST generate a one-time-use EE certificate for the TAK.
* This EE certificate MUST have an SIA extension access description
field with an accessMethod OID value of id-ad-signedObject, where
the associated accessLocation references the publication point of
the TAK as an object URL.
* As described in [RFC6487], an [RFC3779] extension is required in
the EE certificate used for this object. However, because the
resource set is irrelevant to this object type, this certificate
MUST describe its Internet Number Resources (INRs) using the
"inherit" attribute, rather than explicit description of a
resource set.
* This EE certificate MUST have a "notBefore" time that matches or
predates the moment that the TAK will be published.
* This EE certificate MUST have a "notAfter" time that reflects the
intended duration for which this TAK will be published. If the EE
certificate for a TAK object is expired, it MUST no longer be
published, but it MAY be replaced by a newly generated TAK object
with equivalent content and an updated "notAfter" time.
Martinez, et al. Expires 20 December 2021 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft RPKI signed object for TAL June 2021
* The current TA key for the TAK MUST match that of the TA CA
certificate under which the TAK was issued.
5. Relying Party Use
Relying Parties MUST keep a record of the current key for each
configured TA, as well as the URI(s) where the CA certificate for
this key may be retrieved. This record MAY be bootstrapped by the
use of a pre-configured (and unsigned) TAL file [RFC8630], but it
MUST be updated with authoritative signed information found in valid
TAK objects from subsequent validation runs.
When performing top-down validation, RPs MUST first validate and
process the TAK object for its current known key, by performing the
following steps:
* A CA certificate is retrieved and validated from the known URIs as
described in sections 3 and 4 of [RFC8630].
* The manifest and CRL for this certificate are then validated as
described in [RFC6487] and [RFC6486].
* The TAK object, if present, is validated as described in
Section 3.3.
If the TAK object indicates that the current key has not been
revoked, then the RP updates its local state with the URIs for that
key from the TAK object and continues standard top-down validation as
described in [RFC6487] using that key.
If the TAK object indicates that the current key has been revoked,
then the RP updates its current known key details to be those of the
successor key, and then begins top-down validation again using the
successor key. The RP repeats this process until it reaches a TA key
that either does not publish a TAK object, or publishes a TAK object
that indicates that the corresponding current key is not revoked. At
that point, it continues standard top-down validation using that key.
If the RP reaches a TAK object that does not include a successor key,
but is marked as revoked, then the TA has accidentally revoked its
current key. Similarly, if the RP processes the same TAK object
twice while attempting to validate a TA, then the TA has accidentally
set up a loop among its TAK objects. If the RP encounters either of
these scenarios, the RP MUST ignore the TAK objects that it has
processed, and proceed as though they were not listed on any of the
relevant manifests, so as to allow the TA time to fix the problem.
For discussion of how a TA can resolve these problems, see Section 8.
Martinez, et al. Expires 20 December 2021 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft RPKI signed object for TAL June 2021
An RP MUST NOT use a successor key for top-down validation when the
current key is not revoked, except for the purposes of testing that
the new key is working correctly. This allows a TA to publish a
successor key for a period of time, allowing RPs to test it, while
still being able to rely on RPs using the current key for their
production RPKI operations. Once any RP problem reports have been
resolved, a TA can then revoke the current key to advance the
transition.
6. Maintaining Multiple TA Keys
Although an RP that can process TAK objects will only ever use one
key (either the current key, or the successor key if the current key
is revoked), an RP that cannot process TAK objects will continue to
use the current key even when it is marked as revoked in the TAK. As
a result, even when a TA has revoked a key, the TA may have to
maintain that key for a period of time alongside the new key in order
to ensure continuity of service for older clients.
If a TA has multiple TA keys, then the signed material for these keys
MUST be published under different directories in the context of the
'id-ad-caRepository' and 'id-ad-rpkiManifest' Subject Information
Access descriptions contained on the CA certificates [RFC6487].
Publishing objects under the same directory is potentially confusing
for RPs, and could lead to object invalidity in the event of file
name collisions.
However, the CA certificates for each key, and the contents published
by each key, MUST be equivalent (except for the TAK object). In
other words, for the purposes of RPKI validation, it MUST NOT make a
difference which of the keys is used as a starting point.
This means that the IP and AS resources contained on all current CA
certificates for the current TA keys MUST be the same. Furthermore,
for any delegation of IP and AS resources to a child, the TA MUST
have an equivalent CA certificate published under each of its keys.
Any updates in delegations MUST be reflected under each of its keys.
A TA SHOULD NOT publish any other objects besides a CRL, a Manifest,
a single TAK object, and any number of CA certificates for delegation
to child CAs.
If a TA uses a single remote publication server for its keys, per
[RFC8181], then it MUST include all and PDUs
for the products of each of its keys in a single query, in order to
ensure that they will reflect the same content at all times.
Martinez, et al. Expires 20 December 2021 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft RPKI signed object for TAL June 2021
If a TA uses multiple publication servers, then it is by definition
inevitable that the content of different keys will be out of sync at
times. In such cases, the TA SHOULD ensure that the duration of
these moments are limited to the shortest possible time.
Furthermore, the following should be observed:
* In cases where a CA certificate is revoked completely, or replaced
by a certificate with a reduced set of resources, these changes
will not take effect fully until all the relevant repository
publication points have been updated. Given that TA key
operations are normally performed infrequently, this is unlikely
to be a problem: if the revocation or shrinking of an issued CA
certificate is staged for days/weeks, then experiencing a delay of
several minutes for the repository publication points to be
updated is fairly insignificant.
* In cases where a CA certificate is replaced by a certificate with
an extended set of resources, the TA MUST inform the receiving CA
only after all of its repository publication points have been
updated. This ensures that the receiving CA will not issue any
products that could be invalid if an RP uses a TA key just before
the CA certificate was due to be updated.
Finally, note that the publication locations of CA certificates for
delegations to child CAs under each key will be different, and
therefore the Authority Information Access 'id-ad-caIssuers' values
(section 4.8.7 of [RFC6487]) on certificates issued by the child CAs
may not be as expected when performing top-down validation, depending
on the TA key that is used. However, these values are not critical
to top-down validation, so RPs performing such validation MUST NOT
reject a certificate simply because this value is not as expected.
7. Performing TA Key Rolls
In this section we will describe how present day RPKI TAs that use
only one key pair, and that do not use TAK objects, can change to
having a successor key, allowing them to perform both planned and
unplanned key rolls.
7.1. Phase 1: Add a TAK for Key 'A'
Before adding a successor key, a Trust Anchor may want to build up
operational experience in maintaining a TAK object that describes its
current key only. We will refer to this key as key 'A' throughout
this section.
Martinez, et al. Expires 20 December 2021 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft RPKI signed object for TAL June 2021
The TA will have a TAL file [RFC8630] that contains one or more URIs
where the (equivalent) CA certificates for this key 'A' can be
retrieved. The TA can now generate a TAK object that sets key 'A' as
its current key.
The TA SHOULD publish the CA certificate for key 'A' at one or more
new locations not used in the TAL file, and use these new URIs in the
TAK object. The TA is free to choose any naming strategy for these
locations. As a non-normative suggestion, the TA could use the date
that this phase was started as part of the file name or directory
where the CA certificate is published.
The TA can now monitor the retrieval of its CA certificates from the
URI(s) in the newly published TAK object, relative to the retrieval
from the URI(s) listed in its TAL file, to learn the proportion of
RPs that can successfully validate and use the TAK object.
7.2. Phase 2: Add a Key 'B'
The TA can now generate a new key pair, key 'B'. This key MUST now
be used to create a new CA certificate for this key, and issue
equivalent CA certificates for delegations to child CAs, as described
in Section 6.
At this point, the TA can also construct a new TAL file [RFC8630] for
key 'B', and test locally that the validation outcome for the new key
is indeed equivalent to the other current key(s).
When the TA is certain that both keys are equivalent, it MUST issue a
new TAK object under key 'A', setting key 'B' as the successor key
for key 'A' without revoking key 'A'. It MUST also issue a TAK
object under key 'B', with key 'B' as the current key for that
object.
7.3. Phase 3: Activate Key 'B'
To roll to key 'B', the TA issues a new TAK object under key 'A' with
the revoked field set to true. RPs that process TAK objects will
start validating from key 'B' at that point.
The TA must also release a new TAL file for key 'B', as the intended
key to be used by RP software. As described above, it SHOULD use a
different set of URIs in the TAL compared to the TAK file, so that
the TA can learn the proportion of RPs that can successfully validate
and use the updated TAK objects.
Martinez, et al. Expires 20 December 2021 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft RPKI signed object for TAL June 2021
To support RPs that do not take account of TAK objects, the TA should
continue operating key 'A' for a period of time after it has been
marked as revoked. The length of that period of time is a local
policy matter for that TA: it might operate the key until no clients
are attempting to validate using it, for example.
7.4. Phase 4: Remove Key 'A'
The TA SHOULD now publish a long-lived TAK object, CRL and manifest
under key 'A', remove all other content, and destroy key 'A'. This
way, RP software that uses a TAL for key 'A' can still successfully
find keys 'B' and 'C', and in future 'D', 'E', etc.
If access to key 'A' was lost, then there is no way to indicate to
clients still using key 'A' that key 'B' should be used from that
point onwards. In this instance, the TA will rely on clients
updating their local state manually, by way of the new TAL file.
7.5. Unplanned Direction Roll
If key 'B' is compromised, then the TA replaces it as the successor
key for key 'A' with another new key ('C'). Since RPs cannot move to
key 'B' until key 'A' is marked as revoked, they will begin
validation using key 'A', and note that key 'B' has since been
replaced as the successor key.
8. Deployment Considerations
Including TAK objects while RPs do not support this standard will
result in those RPs rejecting these objects. It is not expected that
this will result in the invalidation of any other object under a
Trust Anchor.
The mechanism introduced here can only be relied on once a majority
of RPs support it. Defining when that moment arrives is something
that cannot be established at the time of writing this document. The
use of unique URIs for keys in TAK objects, different from those used
for the corresponding TAL files, should help TAs understand the
proportion of RPs that support this mechanism.
A TA that accidentally revokes a current key via a TAK object without
listing a successor key can set the 'revoked' field on that TAK
object to false and republish that TAK object. The same is true of a
TA that accidentally sets up a loop among its TAK objects, such that
a client cannot access a TAK with an unrevoked key and proceed with
validation. These are the only instances in which it would be
sensible for a TA to publish a TAK object that marked a TA key as not
revoked after having already published a TAK object that marked that
Martinez, et al. Expires 20 December 2021 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft RPKI signed object for TAL June 2021
TA key as revoked. In all other instances, publishing such a TAK
object could lead to a split in the RP population for the TA: RPs
that had already processed the TAK object with the 'revoked' field
set to true would have moved on to the successor key, while RPs that
had not would continue to use the current key.
9. Security Considerations
Because a TA key can mark itself as revoked and require clients to
start using a new key, an adversary that gains access to a TA's
current key and its associated publication servers can essentially
take over the TA.
This risk can be mitigated by the use of Hardware Security Modules
(HSMs) by TAs, which will guard against theft of a private key, as
well as operational processes to guard against (accidental) misuse of
the keys in an HSM by operators.
An example where planned rolls are useful is when a TA is using an
HSM from vendor X, and they want to migrate to an HSM from vendor Y.
Alternate models of TAL update exist and can be complementary to this
mechanism. For example, TAs can liaise directly with validation
software developers to include updated and reissued TAL files in new
code releases, and use existing code update mechanisms in the RP
community to distribute the changes.
