   WEEKLY INVITE, SEE ANIMA BOOTSTRAP WIKI:
        https://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/anima/trac/wiki/Bootstrap

Summary: over the three weeks we had many discussions about the exact format
         and nature of the ownership voucher, and the different modes in
         which enrollment can occur.

Summary of actions:
ACTION: mcr to find some text about why JSON seems to be preferred among
        "new kids"
ACTION: max to run the ownership voucher model to build an example
        authorization token and ensure it all got covered
        kent to expand 2.2 (examples)
        mcr go add the GRASP text for registrar discovery by the proxy
        mcr to add text to "Privacy Considerations" section about
            implications of direction of TLS connections, and who reveals
            identity first.


On 2016-09-27 we closed off some lingering discussion about possible FLIP.

Summary: because the pledge identity is required to generate the ownership
         voucher we must expose the pledge to an active attacker

     mcr: if the pledge exposes a hash'd identity this might resolve the
     problem. This only works in the non-flipped case because in the
     non-flipped case the client authentication is optional in TLS. (the
     current draft indicates we must authenticate the client)

     In order to preserve the identity of the pledge in the case of the
     active attacker, we would have to modify the cryptographic mechanism in
     a way beyond what TLS1.3 can provide.

     This topic is moot given that the MASA server does not verify ownership
     itself -- instead it only logs the events for registrar's to do their own
     verification. [The exact paragraph for this is not clear in the -03
     draft. TODO: make this clearer!]. This implies that any crypto/handshake
     optimization is ultimately only an optimization and an active attacker
     can in fact obtain the device identity. So the best we can do is ensure
     logging occurs at the MASA. But this would have been available to the
     Registrar anyway, and more directly, when the crypto handshake
     failed. Max's position: another pre-mature optimization.

     mcr: points out that authoritative MASA servers could shut this down.

     This should be explained further in the security considerations
     section. (There is already similar text there).

On 2016-10-04 we attempted to make a TODO list for things missing indraft,
noting that 2016-10-31 is the Internet Draft submission cut-off.

1. Section 3.2 (proxy behavior) updated to indicate use of GRASP to find
   Registrar.  This might require GRASP objective for registrar discovery be
   added. Could be defined in the bootstrap document.
   Provide any guidance re GRASP options so that implementation is clear.
   Maintain clarity on how a proxy / registrar works when GRASP is not
   available (e.g. proxy config or other discovery is an option)

2. A finalized format for the ownership voucher/authorization token that is
   common.
   And has a single NEW name to avoid confusion with prior discussions ("MASA
   token"?) The "mode" of the MASA server (if it does "audit mode" or
   "ownership validation") could be indicated in this MASA token.
   Kent's draft is: https://github.com/netconf-wg/ownership-voucher/blob/master/draft-kwatsen-netconf-ownership-voucher.xml
   https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7515#section-4.1.6

   *** would like a more prescriptive document ***

3. https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-anima-bootstrapping-keyinfra-03#section-3.1.1
does not specify a GRASP mechanism for proxy discovery, should it?
  max feels, "no" because defining an insecure mode of GRASP is difficult.
  mcr feels, "no" because discovery by multicast UDP but replys are by TCP
      which means the new node needs to open a TCP port to get a reply back. We
      just had a long conversation about TCP/UDP etc (re flipping the handshake)
      and this adds more confusion.
  group conclusion: close this. "No". (agreement on the call is noted; with
        toerless voting for grasp but accepting the group decision)


On 2016-10-11:

We discussed the ways in which draft-kwatsen-netconf-ownership-voucher.xml
instantiates itself into JSON, and we discussed concrete choices for a way
to sign this object:
  1) JOSE
  2) JWT
  3) PKCS7 signed object

We had much discussion which we based upon some mis-understandings of
the terms for the for various steps, and also this raporteur suggests
that we working with different mental models as to what is going on.
That discussion is rather hard to capture into minutes.

We further discussed the following abstracted time sequence diagram:

  pledge         registrar          masa            vendor
(A)  <**************************************MIC*******
                               [at  manufacturing time]

(B)  -----MIC------->  [probably as part of (D)TLS ClientCertificate]
(C)  --audit nonce-->  [5.1 /requestaudittoken]
        [nonce]
(D)                  -req audit-token->
                      [5.2 /requestaudittoken]
                      SigRegistrar([nonce + 802.1AR serial-number])

(E)                  <-- [authz token]--
                      [5.3 application/authorization-token]
                      SigMasa([DevIDSerialNumber, domainCAcert])

(F)  <--audit token---
      (object from E)

     <-attributes-----
     ---cert req----->
     <--LDevID--------


(A) IDevID installed my manufacturer, at build time. Includes
    anchor certificate(s) for manufacturer.

(B) information about the New Entity's ID
(C) using provisional EST connection, an audit nonce is requested.
    section 5.1
(D) the registrar contacts the MASA for an audit token (5.2)
(E) an authorization token is returned (5.3)
(F) the authorization token (which acts as an ownership voucher) is
    returned to the New Entity, ending the provisional part.

In our discussions last week and the week before, we had a lot of debate
as to whether the contents of (E) needs to have any meaning to the Registrar,
and if so, what meaning does it have.

We had a lot of confusion between the terms audit token, authorization token
and ownership voucher.  (Looking above, it seems reasonable as audit
token and authorization token are mixed up in C,D,E, with an authorization
token being the reply to the /requestaudittoken query!)

The owner certificate:
       Owner Certificate:  The term "owner certificate" is used in this
       document to represent an X.509 certificate, signed by the
       device's manufacturer or delegate, that binds an owner identity
       to the owner's private key, which the owner can subsequently use
       to sign artifacts.  The owner certificate is used by devices when
       validating owner signatures on signed data.  The owner
       certificate is formally defined by the "owner-certificate"
       container in the YANG module defined in Section 7.4.

This implies that the manufacturer issues the owner certificate to the
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-netconf-zerotouch-09#section-6.3

MCR dug up an email from 2014, which is at:
  ^^^^^ could there be a hierarchy of these?
  see:
  https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/6tisch-security/2kObJLkLlhuI-HU9s5yqfRm0n00

and asked for feedback on this, which was received last week.

ACTION: mcr to find some text about why JSON seems to be preferred.

This diagram grew to explain the audit-only scenario, but is probably needs
to be revised to show just the audit-only situation.


   MASA ------ MASA-token ----------------->   Registrar
                \-- audit-log (MASA signed)...........|
                 \                                    v  proceed only if log is "OK" (no unexpected element)
                  \-- XXX                 ............|  -------------------->   Pledge (Client)
                        ownership-voucher (manufacturer signed)
                          Validation: see section https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-netconf-zerotouch-09#section-6.3
                              1) manufacturer signature on voucher
                              2) pledge serial in voucher matches
                              3) owner-id in voucher is validated
                     or authorization-token/audit-token (MASA signed)
                        need to eliminate one term. MAX: correct term is audit-token
                        authorizes to join to domain identified with SHA256 hash of
                        public key of CA of domain

                        Contentions:
                             format/content of "owner-id" in ownership voucher:
                                  just SHA256 (MAX) or DN of a certificate (Kent original proposal)
                                    - DN requires MASA/manufacturer to run PKI service
                                    - Kent: Trust-model of public-CA is dangerous


Since the audit log goes to the registrar, and the tokens/voucher goes to the
pledge, they should be independently signed, so that they can be pass on
separately.

The pledge has to verify the MIC, needs the manufacturer signing key.

The registrar has to verify that the audit-log has properly signed by the
MASA.

audit-token is a subset of the audit-log, is a statement by the MASA that the
MASA has logged the claim.

An authorization token/audit-token is an object signed by the MASA server,
which is sent to the pledge, and authorizes the pledge to join a network,
noting that this activity has been audited (logged).

An ownership voucher contains the PKCS-name (DN) of the particular domain to
join.
