Bootstrapping Remote Secure Key Infrastructures (BRSKI)
draft-ietf-anima-bootstrapping-keyinfra-05
Abstract
This document specifies automated bootstrapping of a remote secure
key infrastructure (BRSKI) using vendor installed X.509 certificate,
in combination with a vendor's authorizing service, both online the
Internet, and offline. Bootstrapping a new device can occur using a
routable address and a cloud service, or using only link-local
connectivity, or on limited/disconnected networks. Support for lower
security models, including devices with minimal identity, is
described for legacy reasons but not encouraged. Bootstrapping is
complete when the cryptographic identity of the new key
infrastructure is successfully deployed to the device but the
established secure connection can be used to deploy a locally issued
certificate to the device as well.

1. Introduction
To literally "pull yourself up by the bootstraps" is an impossible
action. Similarly the secure establishment of a key infrastructure
without external help is also an impossibility. Today it is commonly
accepted that the initial connections between nodes are insecure,
until key distribution is complete, or that domain-specific keying
material is pre-provisioned on each new device in a costly and non-
scalable manner. These existing mechanisms are known as non-secured
'Trust on First Use' (TOFU) [RFC7435], 'resurrecting duckling'
[Stajano99theresurrecting] or 'pre-staging'.
This document describes a zero-touch approach to bootstrapping that
secures the initial distribution of key material between an
unconfigured and untouched device called a "Pledge" and the
"Registrar" device that is a member of an established network domain.
The bootstrapping process provides a foundation to securely answer
the following questions:
o Registrar authenticating the Pledge: "Who is this device? What is
its identity?"
o Registrar authorization the Pledge: "Is it mine? Do I want it?
What are the chances it has been compromised?"
o Pledge authenticating the Registrar/Domain: "What is this domain's
identity?"
o Pledge authorization the Registrar: "Should I join it?"
This document details protocols and messages to the endpoints to
answer the above questions. The Registrar actions derive from Pledge
identity, third party cloud service communications, and local access
control lists. The Pledge actions derive from a cryptographically
protected "voucher" message delivered through the Registrar.
Multiple forms of "vouchers" are described to support a variety of
use cases.
The syntactic details of vouchers are described in detail in
[I-D.ietf-anima-voucher]. This document details automated protocol
mechanisms to obtain vouchers.
The result of bootstrapping is that a security association between
the Pledge and the Registrar is established. A method of leveraging
this association to optimize PKI enrollment is described.
Pritikin, et al. Expires September 14, 2017 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft BRSKI March 2017
The described system is agile enough to support bootstrapping
alternative key infrastructures, such as a symmetric key solutions,
but no such system is described.
1.1. Secure Imprinting without Vouchers
There are pre-existing methods available for establishing initial
trust. For example the enrollment protocol EST [RFC7030] details a
set of non-autonomic bootstrapping methods such as:
o using the Implicit Trust Anchor database (not an autonomic
solution because the URL must be securely distributed),
o engaging a human user to authorize the CA certificate using out-
of-band data (not an autonomic solution because the human user is
involved),
o using a configured Explicit TA database (not an autonomic solution
because the distribution of an explicit TA database is not
autonomic),
o and using a Certificate-Less TLS mutual authentication method (not
an autonomic solution because the distribution of symmetric key
material is not autonomic).
These "touch" methods do not meet the requirements for zero-touch.
There are "call home" technologies where the Pledge first establishes
a connection to a well known vendor service using a common client-
server authentication model. After mutual authentication appropriate
credentials to authenticate the target domain are transfered to the
Pledge. This creates serveral problems and limitations:
o the pledge requires realtime connectivity to the vendor service,
o the domain identity is exposed to the vendor service (this is a
privacy concern),
o the vendor is responsible for making the authorization decisions
(this is a liability concern),
BRSKI addresses these issues by introducting an authorization layer
via "vouchers". The additional complexity provides for significant
flexibility.

Internet-Draft BRSKI March 2017
1.2. Terminology
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
[RFC2119].
The following terms are defined for clarity:
DomainID: The domain identity is the 160-bit SHA-1 hash of the BIT
STRING of the subjectPublicKey of the domain trust anchor that is
stored by the Domain CA. This is consistent with the
Certification Authority subject key identifier (Section 4.2.1.2
[RFC5280]) of the Domain CA's self signed root certificate. (A
string value bound to the Domain CA's self signed root certificate
subject and issuer fields is often colloquially used as a
humanized identity value but during protocol discussions the more
exact term as defined here is used).
drop ship: The physical distribution of equipment containing the
"factory default" configuration to a final destination. In zero-
touch scenarios there is no staging or pre-configuration during
drop-ship.
imprint: The process where a device obtains the cryptographic key
material to identify and trust future interactions with a network.
This term is taken from Konrad Lorenz's work in biology with new
ducklings: during a critical period, the duckling would assume
that anything that looks like a mother duck is in fact their
mother. An equivalent for a device is to obtain the fingerprint
of the network's root certification authority certificate. A
device that imprints on an attacker suffers a similar fate to a
duckling that imprints on a hungry wolf. Securely imprinting is a
primary focus of this document.[imprinting]. The analogy to
Lorenz's work was first noted in [Stajano99theresurrecting].
enrollment: The process where a device presents key material to a
network and acquires a network specific identity. For example
when a certificate signing request is presented to a certification
authority and a certificate is obtained in response.
Pledge: The prospective device, which has an identity installed by a
third-party (e.g., vendor, manufacturer or integrator).
Voucher A signed statement from the MASA service that indicates to a
Pledge the cryptographic identity of the Registrar it should
trust. There are different types of vouchers depending on how
Pritikin, et al. Expires September 14, 2017 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft BRSKI March 2017
that trust asserted. Multiple voucher types are defined in
[I-D.ietf-anima-voucher]
Domain: The set of entities that trust a common key infrastructure
trust anchor. This includes the Proxy, Registrar, Domain
Certificate Authority, Management components and any existing
entity that is already a member of the domain.
Domain CA: The domain Certification Authority (CA) provides
certification functionalities to the domain. At a minimum it
provides certification functionalities to a Registrar and stores
the trust anchor that defines the domain. Optionally, it
certifies all elements.
Join Registrar (and Coordinator): A representative of the domain
that is configured, perhaps autonomically, to decide whether a new
device is allowed to join the domain. The administrator of the
domain interfaces with a Join Registrar (and Coordinator) to
control this process. Typically a Join Registrar is "inside" its
domain. For simplicity this document often refers to this as just
"Registrar". The term JRC is used in common with other bootstrap
mechanisms.
Join Proxy: A domain entity that helps the pledge join the domain.
A Proxy facilitates communication for devices that find themselves
in an environment where they are not provided connectivity until
after they are validated as members of the domain. The pledge is
unaware that they are communicating with a proxy rather than
directly with a Registrar.
MASA Service: A third-party Manufacturer Authorized Signing
Authority (MASA) service on the global Internet. The MASA signs
vouchers. It also provides a repository for audit log information
of privacy protected bootstrapping events. It does not track
ownership.
Ownership Tracker: An Ownership Tracker service on the global
internet. The Ownership Tracker uses business processes to
accurately track ownership of all devices shipped against domains
that have purchased them. Although optional this component allows
vendors to provide additional value in cases where their sales and
distribution channels allow for accurately tracking of such
ownership. Ownership tracking information is indicated in
vouchers as described in [I-D.ietf-anima-voucher]
IDevID: An Initial Device Identity X.509 certificate installed by
the vendor on new equipment.
Pritikin, et al. Expires September 14, 2017 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft BRSKI March 2017
TOFU: Trust on First Use. Used similarly to [RFC7435]. This is
where a Pledge device makes no security decisions but rather
simply trusts the first Registrar it is contacted by. This is
also known as the "resurrecting duckling" model.
1.3. Scope of solution
Questions have been posed as to whether this solution is suitable in
general for Internet of Things (IoT) networks. This depends on the
capabilities of the devices in question. The terminology of
[RFC7228] is best used to describe the boundaries.
The solution described in this document is aimed in general at non-
constrained (i.e. class 2+) devices operating on a non-Challenged
network. The entire solution as described here is not intended to be
useable as-is by constrained devices operating on challenged networks
(such as 802.15.4 LLNs).
There are a number of optional mechanisms in BRSKI. These mechanisms
are not mandatory to implement for the core applicability to ANIMA.
These mechanisms have been moved out of the main flow of the document
to appendices to emphasis that they are not considered normative,
mandatory to implement, while making it easier for another document
to normatively reference them.
In many target applications, the systems involved are large router
platforms with multi-gigabit inter-connections, mounted in controlled
access data centers. But this solution is not exclusive to the
large, it is intended to scale to thousands of devices located in
hostile environments, such as ISP provided CPE devices which are
drop-shipped to the end user. The situation where an order is
fulfilled from distributed warehouse from a common stock and shipped
directly to the target location at the request of the domain owner is
explicitly supported. That stock ("SKU") could be provided to a
number of potential domain owners, and the eventual domain owner will
not know a-priori which device will go to which location.
The bootstrapping process can take minutes to complete depending on
the network infrastructure and device processing speed. The network
communication itself is not optimized for speed; for privacy reasons,
the discovery process allows for the Pledge to avoid announcing it's
presence through broadcasting. This protocol is not intended for low
latency handoffs. In networks requiring such things, the pledge
SHOULD already have been enrolled.
Specifically, there are protocol aspects described here which might
result in congestion collapse or energy-exhaustion of intermediate
battery powered routers in an LLN. Those types of networks SHOULD
Pritikin, et al. Expires September 14, 2017 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft BRSKI March 2017
NOT use this solution. These limitations are predominately related
to the large credential and key sizes required for device
authentication. Defining symmetric key techniques that meet the
operational requirements is out-of-scope but the underlying protocol
operations (TLS handshake and signing structures) have sufficient
algorithm agility to support such techniques when defined.
The imprint protocol described here could, however, be used by non-
energy constrained devices joining a non-constrained network (for
instance, smart light bulbs are usually mains powered, and speak
802.11). It could also be used by non-constrained devices across a
non-energy constrained, but challenged network (such as 802.15.4).
This document presumes that network access control has either already
occurred, is not required, or is integrated by the proxy and
registrar in such a way that the device itself does not need to be
aware of the details. Although the use of an X.509 Initial Device
Identity is consistant with IEEE 802.1AR [IDevID], and allows for
alignment with 802.1X network access control methods, its use here is
for Pledge authentication rather than network access control.
Some aspects are in scope for constrained devices on challenged
networks: the certificate contents, and the process by which the four
questions above are resolved is in scope. It is simply the actual
on-the-wire imprint protocol which is likely inappropriate.
2. Architectural Overview
The logical elements of the bootstrapping framework are described in
this section. Figure 1 provides a simplified overview of the
components. Each component is logical and may be combined with other
components as necessary.

Figure 1
We assume a multi-vendor network. In such an environment there could
be a Vendor Service for each vendor that supports devices following
this document's specification, or an integrator could provide a
generic service authorized by multiple vendors. It is unlikely that
an integrator could provide Ownership Tracking services for multiple
vendors due to the required sales channel integrations necessary to
track ownership.
The domain is the managed network infrastructure the Pledge is
managed by. The a domain provides initial device connectivity
minimally sufficient for bootstrapping through the Circuit Proxy.
The Domain registrar makes authorization decisions and handles
connectivity to the vendor services and authenticates the Pledge.
Optional cryptographic credential and configuration management
systems are expected.
Pritikin, et al. Expires September 14, 2017 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft BRSKI March 2017
This document describes a secure zero-touch approach to bootstrapping
a remote key infrastructure. Secure bootstrapping requires
mitigating the threat of an attacker domain establishing a management
role over the pledge device. In a "trust on first use" model, where
this threat is ignored, the attacker has an opportunity to install a
persistent malware component. This document uses Vouchers to address
the threat while maintaining a significant level of flexibility.
2.1. Secure Imprinting without Vouchers
There are pre-existing methods available for establishing initial
trust. For example the enrollment protocol EST [RFC7030] details a
set of non-autonomic bootstrapping methods such as:
o using the Implicit Trust Anchor database (not an autonomic
solution because the URL must be securely distributed),
o engaging a human user to authorize the CA certificate using out-
of-band data (not an autonomic solution because the human user is
involved),
o using a configured Explicit TA database (not an autonomic solution
because the distribution of an explicit TA database is not
autonomic),
o and using a Certificate-Less TLS mutual authentication method (not
an autonomic solution because the distribution of symmetric key
material is not autonomic).
These "touch" methods do not meet the requirements for zero-touch.
There are "call home" technologies where the Pledge first establishes
a connection to a well known vendor service using a common client-
server authentication model. After mutual authentication appropriate
credentials to authenticate the target domain are transfered to the
Pledge. This creates serveral problems and limitations:
o the pledge requires realtime connectivity to the vendor service,
o the domain identity is exposed to the vendor service (this is a
privacy concern),
o the vendor is responsible for making the authorization decisions
(this is a liability concern),
BRSKI addresses these issues by introducting an authorization layer
via "vouchers". The additional complexity provides for significant
flexibility.
Pritikin, et al. Expires September 14, 2017 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft BRSKI March 2017
2.2. Secure Imprinting using Vouchers
A voucher is a cryptographically protected statement to the Pledge
device authorizing a zero-touch imprint on the Registrar domain.
The format and cryptographic mechanism of vouchers is described in
detail in [I-D.ietf-anima-voucher].
Vouchers provide a flexible mechanism to secure imprinting: the
Pledge device only imprints when a voucher can be validated. At the
lowest security levels the MASA server can indiscriminately issue
vouchers. At the highest security levels issuance of vouchers can be
integrated with complex sales channel integrations that are beyond
the scope of this document. This provides the flexability for a
number of use cases via a single common protocol mechanism on the
Pledge and Registrar devices that are to be widely deployed in the
field. The MASA vendor services have the flexibility to leverage
either the currently defined claim mechanisms or to experiment with
higher or lower security levels.
2.3. Initial Device Identifier
Pledge authentication is via an X.509 certificate installed during
the manufacturing process. This Initial Device Identifier provides a
basis for authenticating the Pledge during subsequent protocol
exchanges and informing the Registrar of the MASA URI. There is no
requirement for a common root PKI hierarchy. Each device vendor can
generate their own root certificate.
The following previously defined fields are in the X.509 IDevID
certificate:
o The subject field's DN encoding MUST include the "serialNumber"
attribute with the device's unique serial number.
o The subject alt field's encoding SHOULD include the a non-critical
version of the RFC4108 defined HardwareModuleName.
The following newly defined field SHOULD be in the X.509 IDevID
certificate: An X.509 non-critical certificate extension that
contains a single Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that points to an
on-line Manufacturer Authorized Signing Authority. The URI is
represented as described in Section 7.4 of [RFC5280].
Any Internationalized Resource Identifiers (IRIs) MUST be mapped to
URIs as specified in Section 3.1 of [RFC3987] before they are placed
in the certificate extension.
Pritikin, et al. Expires September 14, 2017 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft BRSKI March 2017
The semantics of the URI are defined in Section 7 of this document.
The new extension is identified as follows:
<CODE BEGINS>
MASAURLExtnModule-2016 { iso(1) identified-organization(3) dod(6)
internet(1) security(5) mechanisms(5) pkix(7)

END
<CODE ENDS>
The choice of id-pe is based on guidance found in Section 4.2.2 of
[RFC5280], "These extensions may be used to direct applications to
on-line information about the issuer or the subject". The MASA URL
is precisely that: online information about the particular subject.
3. Functional Overview
Entities behave in an autonomic fashion. They discover each other
and autonomically bootstrap into a key infrastructure delineating the
autonomic domain. See [RFC7575] for more information.

3.1. Behavior of a Pledge
A pledge that has not yet been bootstrapped attempts to find a local
domain and join it. A pledge MUST NOT automatically initiate
bootstrapping if it has already been configured or is in the process
of being configured.

State descriptions for the pledge are as follows:
1. Discover a communication channel to a Registrar.
2. Identify itself. This is done by presenting an X.509 IDevID
credential to the discovered Registrar (via the Proxy) in a TLS
handshake. (The Registrar credentials are only provisionally
accepted at this time).
Pritikin, et al. Expires September 14, 2017 [Page 16]
Internet-Draft BRSKI March 2017
3. Requests to Join the discovered Registrar. A unique nonce can be
included ensuring that any responses can be associated with this
particular bootstrapping attempt.
4. Imprint on the Registrar. This requires verification of the
vendor service provided voucher. A voucher contains sufficient
information for the Pledge to complete authentication of a
Registrar. (It enables the Pledge to finish authentication of
the Registrar TLS server certificate).
5. Enroll. By accepting the domain specific information from a
Registrar, and by obtaining a domain certificate from a Registrar
using a standard enrollment protocol, e.g. Enrollment over
Secure Transport (EST) [RFC7030].
6. The Pledge is now a member of, and can be managed by, the domain
and will only repeat the discovery aspects of bootstrapping if it
is returned to factory default settings.
The following sections describe each of these steps in more detail.
3.1.1. Discovery
The result of discovery is a logical communication with a Registrar,
through a Proxy. The Proxy is transparent to the Pledge but is
always assumed to exist.
To discover the Registrar the Pledge performs the following actions:
a. MUST: Obtains a local address using IPv6 methods as described in
[RFC4862] IPv6 Stateless Address AutoConfiguration. [RFC7217] is
encouraged. IPv4 methods are described in Appendix A
b. MUST: Listen for GRASP M_FLOOD ([I-D.ietf-anima-grasp])
announcements of the objective: "ACP+Proxy". See section
Section 5 for the details of the the objective. The Pledge may
listen concurrently for other sources of information, see
Appendix B.
Once a proxy is discovered the Pledge communicates with a Registrar
through the proxy using the bootstrapping protocol defined in
Section 7.
Each discovery method attempted SHOULD exponentially back-off
attempts (to a maximum of one hour) to avoid overloading the network
infrastructure with discovery. The back-off timer for each method
MUST be independent of other methods. Methods SHOULD be run in
parallel to avoid head of queue problems. Once a connection to a
Pritikin, et al. Expires September 14, 2017 [Page 17]
Internet-Draft BRSKI March 2017
Registrar is established (e.g. establishment of a TLS session key)
there are expectations of more timely responses, see Section 7.1.
Once all discovered services are attempted the device SHOULD return
to listening for GRASP M_FLOOD. It should periodically retry the
vendor specific mechanisms. The Pledge MAY prioritize selection
order as appropriate for the anticipated environment.
3.1.2. Identity
The Pledge identifies itself during the communication protocol
handshake. If the client identity is rejected (that is, the TLS
handshake does not complete) the Pledge repeats the Identity process
using the next proxy or discovery method available.
The bootstrapping protocol server is not initially authenticated.
Thus the connection is provisional and all data received is untrusted
until sufficiently validated even though it is over a TLS connection.
This is aligned with the existing provisional mode of EST [RFC7030]
during s4.1.1 "Bootstrap Distribution of CA Certificates". See
Section 7.3 for more information about when the TLS connection
authentication is completed.
All security associations established are between the new device and
the Bootstrapping server regardless of proxy operations.
3.1.2.1. Concurrent attempts to join
The Pledge MAY attempt multiple mechanisms concurrently, but if it
does so, it MUST wait in the provisional state until all mechanisms
have either succeeded or failed, and then MUST proceed with the
highest priority mechanism which has succeed. To proceed beyond this
point, specifically, to provide a nonce, could result in the MASA
gratuitously auditing a connection.
3.1.3. Request Join
The Pledge POSTs a request to join the domain to the Bootstrapping
server. This request contains a Pledge generated nonce and informs
the Bootstrapping server which imprint methods the Pledge will
accept.
The nonce ensures the Pledge can verify that responses are specific
to this bootstrapping attempt. This minimizes the use of global time
