Introduction The primary purpose of the Internet IP Address and AS Number public key infrastructure (PKI) system is to improve routing security. As part of this system, a mechanism is needed to allow entities to verify that an AS has been given permission by an IP address block holder to advertise routes to that block. A ROA provides this function. A ROA is a digitally signed object that makes use of Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) [RFC3852] as a standard encapsulation format. Kent and Kong Expires August 2007 [Page 2] Internet-Draft Route Origin Attestation Profile February 2007 CMS was chosen to take advantage of existing open source software available for processing messages in this format. 2. Basic Format Using CMS syntax, a ROA is a type of signed-data object. The general format of a CMS object is: ContentInfo ::= SEQUENCE { contentType ContentType, content [0] EXPLICIT ANY DEFINED BY contentType } ContentType ::= OBJECT IDENTIFIER As a ROA is a signed-data object, it uses the corresponding OID, 1.2.840.113549.1.7.2. [RFC3852] 2.1. Signed-Data Content Type According to the CMS standard, the signed-data content type shall have ASN.1 type SignedData: SignedData ::= SEQUENCE { version CMSVersion, digestAlgorithms DigestAlgorithmIdentifiers, encapContentInfo EncapsulatedContentInfo, certificates [0] IMPLICIT CertificateSet OPTIONAL, crls [1] IMPLICIT RevocationInfoChoices OPTIONAL, signerInfos SignerInfos } DigestAlgorithmIdentifiers ::= SET OF DigestAlgorithmIdentifier SignerInfos ::= SET OF SignerInfo 2.1.1. version The version is the syntax version number. It MUST be 3, corresponding to the signerInfo structure having version number 3. 2.1.2. digestAlgorithms The digestAlgorithms set MUST include only SHA-256, the OID for which is 2.16.840.1.101.3.4.2.1. [RFC4055] It MUST NOT contain any other algorithms. Kent and Kong Expires August 2007 [Page 3] Internet-Draft Route Origin Attestation Profile February 2007 2.1.3. encapContentInfo encapContentInfo is the signed content, consisting of a content type identifier and the content itself. EncapsulatedContentInfo ::= SEQUENCE { eContentType ContentType, eContent [0] EXPLICIT OCTET STRING OPTIONAL } ContentType ::= OBJECT IDENTIFIER 2.1.3.1. eContentType The ContentType for a ROA is defined as routeOriginAttestation and has the numerical value of 1.2.840.113549.1.9.16.1.24. id-smime OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) member-body(2) us(840) rsadsi(113549) pkcs(1) pkcs9(9) 16 } id-ct OBJECT INDENTIFIER ::= { id-smime 1 } routeOriginAttestion OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-ct 24 } 2.1.3.2. eContent The content of a ROA is a single AS that has been authorized by the address space holder to originate routes and a list of one or more IP address prefixes that will be advertised. If the address space holder needs to authorize multiple ASes to advertise the same set of address blocks, the holder issues multiple ROAs, one per AS number. It is formally defined as: RouteOriginAttestation ::= SEQUENCE { version [0] INTEGER DEFAULT 0, asID ASID, ipAddrBlocks ROAIPAddrBlocks } ASID ::= INTEGER ROAIPAddrBlocks ::= SEQUENCE of ROAIPAddressFamily ROAIPAddressFamily ::= SEQUENCE { addressFamily OCTET STRING (SIZE (2..3)), addressesOrRanges SEQUENCE OF IPAddressOrRange } -- Only two address families are allowed: IPv4 and IPv6 Kent and Kong Expires August 2007 [Page 4] Internet-Draft Route Origin Attestation Profile February 2007 IPAddressOrRange ::= CHOICE { addressPrefix IPAddress, addressRange IPAddressRange } IPAddressRange ::= SEQUENCE { min IPAddress, max IPAddress } IPAddress ::= BIT STRING 2.1.4. certificates The certificates field MAY be included. If so, it MUST contain only the end entity certificate needed to validate this ROA. This certificate should be present only if the ROA is being transmitted to a relying party. Thus in the initial use of ROA's where they are being made available to relying parties via a repository system, this certificate SHOULD be omitted. 2.1.5. crls The crls field MUST be omitted. 2.1.6. signerInfos SignerInfo is defined under CMS as: SignerInfo ::= SEQUENCE { version CMSVersion, sid SignerIdentifier, digestAlgorithm DigestAlgorithmIdentifier, signedAttrs [0] IMPLICIT SignedAttributes OPTIONAL, signatureAlgorithm SignatureAlgorithmIdentifier, signature SignatureValue, unsignedAttrs [1] IMPLICIT UnsignedAttributes OPTIONAL } 2.1.6.1. version The version number MUST be 3, corresponding with the choice of SubjectKeyIdentifier for the sid. 2.1.6.2. sid The sid is defined as: Kent and Kong Expires August 2007 [Page 5] Internet-Draft Route Origin Attestation Profile February 2007 SignerIdentifier ::= CHOICE { issuerAndSerialNumber IssuerAndSerialNumber, subjectKeyIdentifier [0] SubjectKeyIdentifier } For a ROA, the sid MUST be a SubjectKeyIdentifier. 2.1.6.3. digestAlgorithm The digestAlgorithm MUST be SHA-256, the OID for which is 2.16.840.1.101.3.4.2.1. [RFC4055] 2.1.6.4. signedAttrs signedAttrs MUST be omitted. 2.1.6.5. signatureAlgorithm The signatureAlgorithm MUST be SHA-256 with RSA (sha256WithRSAEncryption), the OID for which is 1.2.840.113549.1.1.11. [RFC4055] 2.1.6.6. signature The signature value is defined as: SignatureValue ::= OCTET STRING The signature characteristics are defined by the digest and signature algorithms. 2.1.6.7. unsignedAttrs unsignedAttrs MUST be omitted. 3. Security Considerations There is no assumption of confidentiality for the data in a ROA; it is anticipated that ROAs will be stored in repositories that are accessible to all ISPs, maybe to all Internet users. There is no explicit authentication associated with a ROA, since the PKI used for ROA validation provides authorization but not authentication. Although the ROA is a signed, application layer object, there is no intent to convey non-repudiation via a ROA. The purpose of a ROA is to convey authorization for an AS to originate a route to the prefix(es) in the ROA. Thus the integrity of a ROA must be established. The ROA makes use of the CMS signed Kent and Kong Expires August 2007 [Page 6] Internet-Draft Route Origin Attestation Profile February 2007 message format for integrity, and thus inherits the security considerations associated with that data structure. The right of the ROA signer to authorize the target AS to originate routes to the prefix(es) is established through use of the address space and AS number PKI described in [ARCH]. Specifically one must verify the signature on the ROA using an X.509 certificate issued under this PKI, and check that the prefix(es) in the ROA match those in the address space extension in the certificate. 4. IANA Considerations None. 5. Acknowledgments The authors wish to thank Charles Gardiner and Russ Housley for their help and contributions.
