Abstract

This document defines a standard profile for X.509 certificates for the purposes of supporting validation of assertions of "right-to-use" of an Internet Number Resource (IP Addresses and Autonomous System Numbers). This profile is used to convey the issuer's authorization of the subject to be regarded as the current holder of a "right-of-use" of the IP addresses and AS numbers that are described in the associated Resource Certificate.

1. Introduction

A Resource Certificate describes an action by a certificate issuer that binds a list of IP Address blocks and AS Numbers to the subject of the certificate. The binding is identified by the association of the subject's private key with the subject's public key contained in the Resource Certificate, signed by the private key of the certificate's issuer.

In the context of the public Internet, and the use of public number resources within this context, it is intended that Resource Certificates are used in a manner that is explicitly aligned to the public number resource distribution function. Specifically, when a number resource is allocated or assigned by a number registry to an entity, this allocation is described by an associated Resource Certificate. This certificate is issued by the number registry, and the subject's public key that is being certified by the Issuer corresponds to the public key part of a public / private key pair that was generated by the same entity who is the recipient of the number assignment or allocation. A critical extension to the certificate enumerates the IP Resources that were allocated or assigned by the issuer to the entity. In the context of the public number distribution function, this corresponds to a hierarchical PKI structure, where Resource Certificates are only issued in one 'direction' and there is a single unique path of certificates from a Certificate Authority operating at the apex of a resource distribution hierarchy to a valid certificate.

Resource Certificates may be used in the context of the operation of secure inter-domain routing protocols to convey a right-to-use of an IP number resource that is being passed within the routing protocol, to verify legitimacy and correctness of routing information. Related use contexts include validation of Internet Routing Registry objects, validation of routing requests, and detection of potential unauthorised used of IP addresses.

This profile defines those fields that are used in a Resource Certificate that MUST be present for the certificate to be valid. Relying Parties SHOULD check that a Resource Certificate conforms to this profile as a requisite for validation of a Resource Certificate.

1.1. Terminology

The keywords "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119.

2. Describing Resources in Certificates

There are three aspects of this resource extension that are noted in this profile:

A test of certificate validity entails the identification of a sequence of valid certificates in an issuer-subject chain (where the subject field of one certificate appears as the issuer in the next certificate in the sequence) from a trust anchor certificate authority to the certificate being validated, and that the resource extensions in this certificate sequence from the trust anchor's issued certificate to the certificate being validated form a sequence of encompassing relationships in terms of the resources described in the resource extension.

3. Resource Certificate Fields

3.1. Version

Resource Certificates are X.509 Version 3 certificates. This field MUST be present, and the Version MUST be 3 (i.e. the value of this field is 2).

3.2. Serial number

3.3. Signature Algorithm

It is noted that larger key sizes are computationally expensive for both the CA and replying parties, indicating that care should be taken when deciding to use larger than the minimum key size.

3.4. Issuer

This field identifies the entity that has signed and issued the certificate. The value of this field is a valid X.501 name.

If the certificate is a subordinate certificate issued by virtue of the "cA" bit set in the immediate superior certificate, then the issuer name MUST correspond to the subject name as contained in the immediate superior certificate.

3.5. Subject

This field identifies the entity to whom the resource has been allocated / assigned. The value of this field is a valid X.501 name.

In this profile the subject name is determined by the issuer, and each distinct entity certified by the issuer MUST be identified using a subject name that is unique per issuer.

3.6. Valid From

In this profile, it is valid for a certificate to have a value for this field that pre-dates the same field value in any superior certificate. However, it is not valid to infer from this information that a certificate was, or will be, valid at any particular time other than the current time.

3.7. Valid To

In this profile, it is valid for a certificate to have a value for this field that post-dates the same field value in any superior certificate. However, it is not valid to infer from this information that a certificate was, or will be, valid at any particular time other than the current time.

Certificate Authorities typically are advised against issuing a certificate with a validity interval that exceeds the validity interval of the CA certificate that will be used to validate the issued certificate. However, in the context of this profile, it is anticipated that a CA may have good reason to issue a certificate with a validity interval that exceeds the validity interval of the CA's certificate.

3.8. Subject Public Key Info

This field specifies the subject's public key and the algorithm with which the key is used. The public key algorithm MUST be RSA, and, accordingly, the OID for the public key algorithm is 1.2.840.113549.1.1.1. The key size MUST be a minimum size of 1024 bits. In the context of certifying resources it is recommended that the key size of keys that are intended to be used at the apex of a certificate issuance hierarchy, and their immediate subordinates, SHOULD use a minimum key size of 2048 bits. Immediate subordinates of these certificates, when used in the context of continued levels of high trust, SHOULD use a minimum key size of 2048 bits.

In the application of this profile to certification of public number resources, it would be consistent with this recommendation that the Regional Internet Registries use a key size of 2048 bits, and that their immediate subordinate certificate authorities also use a key size of 2048 bits. All other subordinate certificates MAY use a key size of 1024 bits.

It is noted that larger key sizes are computationally expensive for both the CA and replying parties, indicating that care should be taken when deciding to use larger than the minimum key size.

3.9. Resource Certificate Version 3 Extension Fields

The following X.509 V3 extensions MUST be present in a conforming Resource Certificate.

3.9.1. Basic Constraints

The basic constraints extension identifies whether the subject of the certificate is a CA and the maximum depth of valid certification paths that include this certificate.

The issuer determines whether the "cA" boolean is set. If this bit is set, then it indicates that the subject is allowed to issue resources certificates within this overall framework (i.e. the subject is permitted be a CA).

The Path Length Constraint is not specified in this profile and MUST NOT be present.

The Basic Constraints extension field is a critical extension in the Resource Certificate profile, and MUST be present.

3.9.2. Subject Key Identifier

The subject key identifier extension provides a means of identifying certificates that contain a particular public key. To facilitate certification path construction, this extension MUST appear in all Resource Certificates. This extension is non-critical.

The value of the subject key identifier MUST be the value placed in the key identifier field of the Authority Key Identifier extension of immediate subordinate certificates (all certificates issued by the subject of this certificate).

3.9.3. Authority Key Identifier

The subject key identifier extension provides a means of identifying certificates that are signed by the issuer's private key, by providing a hash value of the issuer's public key. To facilitate path construction, this extension MUST appear in all Resource Certificates. The keyIdentifier sub field MUST be present in all Resource Certificates, with the exception of a CA who issues a "self-signed" certificate. The authorityCertIssuer and authorityCertSerialNumber sub fields MUST NOT be present. This extension is non-critical.

3.9.4. Key Usage

This describes the purpose of the certificate. This is a critical extension, and it MUST be present.

In certificates issued to CAs only the keyCertSign and CRLSign bits are set to TRUE and MUST be the only bits set to TRUE.

In end-entity certificates the digitialSignature bit MUST be set and MUST be the only bit set to TRUE.

3.9.5. CRL Distribution Points

This field (CRLDP) identifies the location(s) of the CRL(s) associated with certificates issued by this Issuer. This profile uses the URI form of object identification. The preferred URI access mechanism is a single RSYNC URI ("rsync://") [rsync] (Tridgell, A., “rsync,” April 2006.) that references a single inclusive CRL for each issuer.

In this profile the certificate issuer is also the CRL issuer, implying at the CRLIssuer sub field MUST be omitted, and the distributionPoint sub field MUST be present. The Reasons sub field MUST be omitted.

The distributionPoint MUST contain general names, and MUST NOT contain a nameRelativeToCRLIssuer. The type of the general name MUST be of type URI. In this profile, the scope of the CRL is specified to be all certificates issued by this CA issuer using a given key pair. The sequence of distributionPoint values MUST contain only a single DistributionPointName set. The DistributionPointName set MAY contain more than one URI value. An RSYNC URI MUST be present in the DistributionPointName set, and reference the most recent instance of this issuer's certificate revocation list. Other access form URIs MAY be used in addition to the RSYNC URI.

This extension MUST be present and it is non-critical. There is one exception; where a CA distributes its public key in the form of a "self-signed" certificate, the CRLDP MUST be omitted.

3.9.6. Authority Information Access

This field (AIA) identifies the point of publication of the certificate that is issued by the issuer's immediate superior CA, where this certificate's issuer is the subject. In this profile a single reference object to publication location of the immediate superior certificate MUST be used, except in the case where a CA distributes its public key in the form of a "self-signed" certificate, the authority key identifier SHOULD be omitted.

This profile uses a URI form of object identification. The preferred URI access mechanisms is "rsync", and an RSYNC URI MUST be specified with an accessMethod value of id-ad-caIssuers. The URI MUST reference the point of publication of the certificate where this issuer is the subject (the issuer's immediate superior certificate). Other access method URIs referencing the same object MAY also be included in the value sequence of this extension.

When an Issuer re-issues a CA certificate, the subordinate certificates need to reference this new certificate via the AIA field. In order to avoid the situation where a certificate re-issuance in and of itself implies a requirement to re-issue all subordinate certificates, CA Certificate issuers SHOULD use a persistent URL name scheme for issued certificates. This implies that re-issued certificates overwrite previously issued certificates to the same subject, and use the same publication name as previously issued certificates. In this way subordinate certificates can maintain a constant AIA field value and need not be re-issued due solely to a re-issue of the superior certificate. The issuers' policy with respect to the persistence of name objects of issued certificates MUST be specified in the Issuer's Certificate Practice Statement.

Alternatively, if the certificate issuer does not maintain a persistent URL for the must recent issued certificate for each subject, then the entity who is subject of a certificate MAY keep the most recent copy of the superior's issued certificate in the subject's publication space, and set the AIA to reference this subject-maintained copy of the immediate superior certificate.

3.9.7. Subject Information Access

This field (SIA) identifies the location of information and services relating to the subject of the certificate in which the SIA extension appears. Where the Subject is a CA in this profile, this information and service collection will include all current valid certificates that have been issued by this subject that are signed with the subject's corresponding private key.

This profile uses a URI form of location identification. The preferred URI access mechanism is "rsync", and an RSYNC URI MUST be specified, with an access method value of id-ad-caRepository when the subject of the certificate is a CA. The RSYNC URI must reference an object collection rather than an individual object and MUST use a trailing '/' in the URI. Other access method URIs that reference the same location MAY also be included in the value sequence of this extension. The ordering of URIs in this sequence reflect the subject's relative preferences for access methods, with the first method in the sequence being the most preferred.

For End Entity certificates, where the subject is not a CA, this field MAY be present, and is non-critical. If present, it references the location where objects signed by the key pair associated with the End Entity certificate can be accessed. The id-ad-signedObjectRepository OID is used when the subject is an End Entity and it publishes objects signed with the matching private key in a repository.

3.9.8. Certificate Policies

This extension MUST reference the Resource Certificate Policy, using the OID Policy Identifier value of "1.3.6.1.5.5.7.14.2". This field MUST be present and MUST contain only this value for Resource Certificates.

3.9.9. Subject Alternate Name

This is an optional extension, and MAY contain an X.501 Name as supplied by the subject in the Certificate Request, or as assigned by the issuer.

3.9.10. IP Resources

This field contains the list of IP address resources as per [RFC3779] (Lynn, C., Kent, S., and K. Seo, “X.509 Extensions for IP Addresses and AS Identifiers,” June 2004.). The value may specify the "inherit" element for a particular AFI value. In the context of resource certificates describing public number resources for use in the public Internet, the SAFI value MUST NOT be used. All Resource Certificates MUST include an IP Resources extension, an AS Resources extension, or both extensions.

3.9.11. AS Resources

4. Resource Certificate Revocation List Profile

An entry MUST NOT be removed from the CRL until it appears on one regularly scheduled CRL issued beyond the revoked certificate's validity period.

The profile allows the issuance of multiple current CRLs with different scope by a single CA, with the scope being defined by the key pair used by the CA.

No CRL fields other than those listed below are allowed in CRLs issued under this profile. Unless otherwise indicated, these fields MUST be present in the CRL. Where two or more CRLs issued by a single CA with the same scope, the CRL with the highest value of the "CRL Number" field supersedes all other CRLs issued by this CA.

4.1. Version

Resource Certificate Revocation Lists are Version 2 certificates (the integer value of this field is 1).

4.2. Issuer Name

The value of this field is the X.501 name of the issuing CA who is also the signer of the CRL, and is identical to the Issuer name in the Resource Certificates that are issued by this issuer.

4.3. This Update

This field contains the date and time that this CRL was issued. The value of this field MUST be encoded as UTCTime for dates through the year 2049, and MUST be encoded as GeneralizedTime for dates in the year 2050 or later.

4.4. Next Update

This is the date and time by which the next CRL SHOULD be issued. The value of this field MUST be encoded as UTCTime for dates through the year 2049, and MUST be encoded as GeneralizedTime for dates in the year 2050 or later.

4.5. Signature

This field contains the algorithm used to sign this CRL. This profile specifies a minimum of SHA-256 with RSA (sha256WithRSAEncryption), and allows for the use of SHA-384 or SHA-512. This field MUST be present.

It is noted that larger key sizes are computationally expensive for both the CRL Issuer and replying parties, indicating that care should be taken when deciding to use larger than the minimum key size.

4.6. Revoked Certificate List

When there are no revoked certificates, then the revoked certificate list MUST be absent.

For each revoked resource certificate only the following fields MUST be present. No CRL entry extensions are supported in this profile, and CRL entry extensions MUST NOT be present in a CRL.

4.6.1. Serial Number

4.6.2. Revocation Date

The time the certificate was revoked. This time SHOULD NOT be a future date. The value of this field MUST be encoded as UTCTime for dates through the year 2049, and MUST be encoded as GeneralizedTime for dates in the year 2050 or later.

4.7. CRL Extensions

The X.509 v2 CRL format allows extensions to be placed in a CRL. The following extensions are supported in this profile, and MUST be present in a CRL.

4.7.1. Authority Key Identifier

4.7.2. CRL Number

The CRL Number extension conveys a monotonically increasing sequence number of positive integers for a given CA and scope. This extension allows users to easily determine when a particular CRL supersedes another CRL. The highest CRL Number value supersedes all other CRLs issued by the CA with the same scope.

5. Resource Certificate Request Profile

A resource certificate request MAY use either of PKCS#10 or Certificate Request Message Format (CRMF). There is no requirement for a CA Issuer to support both request formats, and the choice of formats is a matter for the Issuer and Subject to resolve.

5.1. PCKS#10 Profile

This request may be conveyed to the CA via a Registration Authority (RA), acting under the direction of a Subject.

With the exception of the public key related fields, the CA is permitted to alter any requested field when issuing a corresponding certificate.

5.1.1. PKCS#10 Resource Certificate Request Template Fields

This profile applies the following additional constraints to fields that may appear in a CertificationRequestInfo:

This profile applies the following additional constraints to fields that MAY appear in a CertificationRequest Object:

5.2. CRMF Profile

This request may be conveyed to the CA via a Registration Authority (RA), acting under the direction of a subject.

With the exception of the public key related fields, the CA is permitted to alter any requested field when issuing a corresponding certificate..

5.2.1. CRMF Resource Certificate Request Template Fields

This profile applies the following additional constraints to fields that may appear in a Certificate Request Template:

5.2.2. Resource Certificate Request Control Fields

5.3. Certificate Extension Attributes in Certificate Requests

The following extensions may appear in a PKCS#10 or CRMF Certificate Request. This profile places the following additional constraints on these extensions.:

With the exceptions of the publicKey field and the SubjectInformationAccess field, the CA is permitted to alter any requested field.

6. Resource Certificate Validation

To meet this goal, the path validation process verifies, among other things, that a prospective certification path (a sequence of n certificates) satisfies the following conditions:

6.1. Trust Anchors for Resource Certificates

The trust model that may be used in the resource certificate framework in the context of validation of assertions of public number resources in public-use contexts is one that readily maps to a top-down delegated CA model that mirrors the delegation of resources from a registry distribution point to the entities that are the direct recipients of these resources. Within this trust model these recipient entities may, in turn, operate a registry and perform further allocations or assignments. This is a strict hierarchy, in that any number resource and a corresponding recipient entity has only one 'parent' issuing registry for that number resource (i.e. there is always a unique parent entity for any resource and corresponding entity), and that the issuing registry is not a direct or indirect subordinate recipient entity of the recipient entity in question (i.e. no loops in the model).

The more general consideration is that selection of a trust anchor CA is a task undertaken by relying parties. The structure of the resource certificate profile admits potentially the same variety of trust models as the PKIX profile. There is only one additional caveat on the general applicability of trust models and PKIX frameworks, namely that in forming a validation path to a trust anchor CA, the sequence of certificates MUST preserve the resource extension validation property, as described in Section 6.2 (Resource Extension Validation), and the validation of the first certificate in the validation path not only involves the verification that the certificate was issued by a trust anchor CA, but also that the resource set described in the certificate MUST be encompassed by the trust anchor CA's resource set, as described in Section 6.2 (Resource Extension Validation).

The trust anchor information, describing a CA that serves as a trust anchor, includes the following:

The trust anchor information may be provided to the path processing procedure in the form of a self-signed certificate.

6.2. Resource Extension Validation

Valid Resource Certificates MUST have a valid IP address and/or AS number resource extension. In order to validate a Resource Certificate the resource extension must also be validated. This validation process relies on definitions of comparison of resource sets:

Validation of a certificate's resource extension in the context of an ordered certificate sequence of {1,2, ... , n} where '1'is issued by a trust anchor and 'n' is the target certificate, and where the subject of certificate 'x' is the issuer of certificate 'x' + 1, implies that the resources described in certificate 'x' "encompass" the resources described in certificate 'x' + 1, and the resources described in the trust anchor information "encompass" the resources described in certificate 1.

6.3. Resource Certificate Path Validation

Validation of signed resource data using a target resource certificate consists of assembling an ordered sequence (or 'Certificate Path') of certificates ({1,2,...n} where '1' is a certificate that has been issued by a trust anchor, and 'n' is the target certificate) verifying that all of the following conditions hold:

Certificates and CRLs used in this process may be found in a locally maintained cache, maintained by a regular top-down synchronization pass, seeded with the CAs who operate at the apex of the resource distribution hierarchy, via reference to Issued certificates and their SIA fields as forward pointers, plus the CRLDP. Alternatively, validation may be performed using a bottom-up process with on-line certificate access using the AIA and CRLDP pointers to guide the certificate retrieval process.

There exists the possibility of encountering certificate paths that are arbitrarily long, or attempting to generate paths with loops as means of creating a potential DOS attack on a certificate validator. Some further heuristics may be required to halt the validation process in order to avoid some of the issues associated with attempts to validate such structures. It is suggested that implementations of Resource Certificate validation MAY halt with a validation failure if the certificate path length exceeds a pre-determined configuration parameter.

7. Security Considerations

A Resource Certificate PKI cannot in and of itself resolve any forms of ambiguity relating to uniqueness of assertions of rights of use in the event that two or more valid certificates encompass the same resource. If the issuance of resource certificates is aligned to the status of resource allocations and assignments then the information conveyed in a certificate is no better than the information in the allocation and assignment databases.

8. IANA Considerations
