Abstract
This document describes how to include trust into the proposed ASTM
Remote ID specification defined in WK65041 by the F38 Committee under
a Broadcast Remote ID (RID) scenario. It defines a few different
message schemes (based on the authentication message) that can be
used to assure past messages sent by a UA and also act as an
assurance for UA trustworthiness in the absence of Internet
connectivity at the receiving node.

1. Introduction
UA Systems (UAS) are usually in a volatile environment when it comes
to communication. UA are generally small with little computational
(or flying) horsepower to carry standard communication equipment.
This limits the mediums of communication to few viable options.
Observer systems (e.g. smartphones and tablets) place further
constraints on the communication options. The Remote ID Broadcast
Wiethuechter, et al. Expires 21 August 2020 [Page 2]
Internet-Draft TM-RID Auth Formats February 2020
messages MUST be available to applications on these platforms without
modifying the devices.
The ASTM standard focuses on two ways of communicating to a UAS for
RID: Broadcast and Network.
This document will focus on adding trust to Broadcast RID in the
current authentication message format, using the Host Identity
Protocol Version 2 (HIPv2) [RFC7401] Hierarchical HIT (HHIT)
[I-D.moskowitz-hip-hierarchical-hit].
2. Terms and Definitions
2.1. Requirements 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 BCP
14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.
2.2. Definitions
HI
Host Identity. The public key portion of an assymetric
keypair from HIP. In this document it is assumed that the
HI is based on a EdDSA25519 keypair. This is supported by
new crypto defined in [I-D.moskowitz-hip-new-crypto].
HIT
Host Identity Tag. A 128 bit handle on the HI. Defined in
HIPv2 [RFC7401].
HHIT
Hierarchical Host Identity Tag. A 128 bit handle on the HI
contain extra information not found in a standard HIT.
Defined in [I-D.moskowitz-hip-hierarchical-hit].
UA
Unmanned Aircraft. In this document UA's are typically
though of as drones of commerical or military variety.
This is a very strict definition which can be relaxed to
include any and all aircraft that are unmanned.
UAS
Unmanned Aircraft System. Composed of Unmanned Aircraft
and all required on-board subsystems, payload, control
station, other required off-board subsystems, any required
Wiethuechter, et al. Expires 21 August 2020 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft TM-RID Auth Formats February 2020
launch and recovery equipment, all required crew members,
and C2 links between UA and the control station.
RID
Remote ID. A unique identifier found on all UA to be used
in communication and in regulation of UA operation.
Observer
Referred to in other UAS documents as a "user", but there
are also other classes of RID users, so we prefer
"observer" to denote an individual who has observed an UA
and wishes to know something about it, starting with its
RID.
3. Background
3.1. Problem Space And Document Focus
The current draft standard for Remote ID (RID) does not, in any
meaningful capacity, address the concerns of trust in the UA space
with communication in the Broadcast RID environment. This is a
requirement that will need to be addressed eventually for various
different parties that have a stake in the UA industry.
The following subsections will provide a high level reference to the
ASTM standard for authentication messages and how their current
limitations effect trust in the Broadcast RID envirorment.

Contains header information for the authentication message
from ASTM UAS RID Standard.
Authentication Data / Signature: (109 bytes: 17+23*4)
Opaque authentication data.
The above diagram is the format defined by ASTM that is the frame
which everything this document fits into. The specific details of
Wiethuechter, et al. Expires 21 August 2020 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft TM-RID Auth Formats February 2020
the ASTM headers are abstracted away as they are not necessarily
required for this document.
3.3. Thoughts on ASTM Authentication Message
The format proposed by the ASTM is designed with a few major
considerations in mind, which the authors feel put significant
limitations on the expansion of the standard.
The primary consideration (in this context) is the use of the
Bluetooth 5.X Extended Frame format. This method allows for a 255
byte payload to be sent in what the ASTM refers to as a "Message
Pack".
The idea is to include up to five standard ASTM Broadcast RID
messages (each of which are 25 bytes) plus a single authentication
message (5 pages of 25 bytes each) in the Message Pack. The
reasoning is then the authentication message is for the entire
Message Pack.
The authors have no issues with this proposed approach; this is a
valid format to use for the authentication message provided by the
ASTM. However, by limiting the authentication message to ONLY five
pages in the standard it ignores the possibility of other formatting
options to be created and used.
Another issue with this format, not fully addressed in this document
is fragmentation. Under Bluetooth 4.X, each page is sent seperately
which can result in lose of pages on the reciever. This is
disasterous as the loss of even a single page means any signature is
incomplete.
With the current limitation of 5 pages, Forward Error Correction
(FEC) is nearly impossible without sacrificing the amount of data
sent. More pages would allow FEC to be performed on the Authentation
message pages so loss of pages can be mitigated.
All these problems are further amplified by the speed at which UA fly
and the Oberserver's position to recieve transmissions. There is no
guarentee that the Observer will recieve all the pages of even a 5
page Authentication Message in the time it takes a UA to traverse
across their line of sight. Worse still is that is not including
other UA in the area, which congestes the spectrum and could cause
further confusion attempting to collate messages from various UA.
This specific problem is out of scope for this document and our
solutions in general, but should be noted as a design consideration.

Inner Header (1 byte):
See Inner Header section.
Wiethuechter, et al. Expires 21 August 2020 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft TM-RID Auth Formats February 2020
HHIT: (16 bytes)
HHIT using the EdDSA25519 HI.
Trust Timestamp: (4 bytes)
Timestamp denoting current time plus an offset to trust
message to.
Payload: (24 bytes)
Opaque payload data.
HHIT Signature: (64 bytes)
Signature over precedding fields using the EdDSA25519 keypair.
When this authentication format is recieved the HHIT is first looked
up in DNS by standard mechanisms to retrieve the HIP RR. From this
the HI can be used to perform signature verifiction. The data signed
is all the data preceding the 64 byte signature (excluding the ASTM
Headers and ASTM Authentication Headers).
When there is no Internet connectivity on the Observers device the HI
of the UA can be obtained by referencing the certificate sent in the
Offline Based Authentication format, if sent by the UA.
4.1.1. Inner Header
When the payload is another ASTM message then the first byte of the
full message should be used to fill in the Inner Header field. This
byte can be signed but is primarily for identitying the inner message
type (for unpacking purposes if desired by the Observer device).
Another use of the Inner Header byte is holding the H-Alg and H-Len
fields if this format is used for Hashed Messages. See Section 5.2
for a detailed example of this. When this format is used all 24
bytes of the payload MUST be filled with hash values. This
requirement means that only even numbered hash lengths can be used.
Any other wrapped messages that are not 24 bytes long and require
padding on the payload MUST use the Inner Header to inform the
reciever the length of payload in octets.
To accomadate payload differences the use of AuthType in the ASTM
Header section SHOULD be set in the range of 0xA-F (which is
availible for Private Use). Only recommended values are defined
here, as the allocation in the reserved space of this header is
controlled by ASTM.

AuthType Values
-------- ------
Wrapped ASTM Message A
Wrapped Hashes B
Wrapped Message Length (octets) C
4.1.2. Trust Timestamp
Trust Timestamp MUST be current UNIX time plus an offset into the
future.
To avoid replay attacks the Trust Timestamp field must be well
founded. When wrapping a vector (position) message the payload WILL
contain (by ASTM rules) constantly changing data, this includes its
own timestamp. In this case the Trust Timestamp could be argued as
superfoulous.
Other message types, such as Basic ID and Self-ID are static messages
with no changing data. To protect a replay of these signed messages
the Trust Timestamp is the field during signing to be guarenteed to
change.
The offset used against the UNIX timestamp is not defined in this
document. Best practices to identify a acceptable offset should be
used taking into consideration the UA envirorment, and propgation
characteristics of the messages being sent.
4.1.3. Payload
The payload can be anything that fits within the 24 byte limit. An
example of what could be done with this format is found in
Section 5.1. If the payload is less than 24 bytes, null padding MUST
be used to fill up to 24 bytes and the AuthType of 0xC MUST be used
to identity message size.

Internet-Draft TM-RID Auth Formats February 2020
This format is designed to provide provenance to Broadcast RID
messages sent by a given UAS. It should be noted that the HHIT is
not provided in the format like others specified here - instead it
must be obtained via the Basic ID Message in a detached fashion.
By hashing previously sent messages and signing them we gain trust in
UAS previous reports. An observer who has been listening for any
length of time can hash received messages and cross check against
listed hashes. The signature is signed across the list of hashes.
4.2.1. Hash Operation
With cSHAKE128 NIST SP 800-185 [NIST.SP.800-185], the hash is
computed as follows:
cSHAKE128(MAC|Message, 8*H-Len, "", "RemoteID Auth Hash")
The message MAC is prepended to the message, as the MAC is the only
information that links a UA's messages from a specific UA.
4.2.2. Pseudo-blockchain Hashes
Two special hashes are included; a previous authentication hash,
which links to the previous signed hash list message, as well as a
current hash. This gives a pseudo-blockchain provenance to the
authentication message that could be traced back if the observer was
present for extended periods of time.
In regards to the creation and use of the current authentication hash
field:
During creation and signing of this message format this field MUST
be set to 0. So the signature will be based on this field being
0, as well as its own hash. It is an open question of if we
compute the hash, then sign or sign then compute.
There a few different ways to cycle this message. We can "roll
up" the hash of 'current' to 'previous' when needed or to
completely recompute the hash. This mostly depends on the
previous note.
4.2.3. Limitations
With the current format proposed by ASTM only 7 messages can be
hashed reasonably in the above format. PADDING and redundant H-Alg,
H-Len fields could be removed. This would increase the total list of
hashes to 9 while losing word alignment of the hashes in each page.
Wiethuechter, et al. Expires 21 August 2020 [Page 13]
Internet-Draft TM-RID Auth Formats February 2020
To address this problem properly the authors feel that the
Authentication Messages needs to have a max bound of 10 pages,
instead of 5.

Certificate: Registry on Aircraft (200 bytes):
A certificate granted by the Registry that asserts the binding
of UA to the given Registry. Note that Page 8's final byte is
actually padding.
Foward Error Correction (FEC) (23 bytes):
FEC on the previous 9 pages.
This specific format does not currently fit within the ASTM
specification. Requiring a minimum of 200 bytes, this would require
the Authentication Message to have 10 pages, instead of the current 5
page limit. The rest of this section assumes 10 pages to demonstrate
how this message is laid out and works.
What this grants is the ability to authenticate UA information when
the receiving device of the observer (e.g. a smartphone with a
dedicated RID application) has no Internet service (e.g. LTE
signal).
By including the device HI along with a signature from the registry
the UA is under, we can assert trust of a given UA without requiring
the need for immediate reverse lookups online.
4.3.1. Certificate: Registry on Aircraft
The bulk of this message is made up with the 200 byte certificate
titled "Registry on Aircraft" (henceforth refered to as "Cra").
Below is Cra fully marked out inside the ASTM Authentication Message.

Cra is in practice a binding certificate between the Registry and the
Aircraft, asserting the relationship between the two entities. Cra
signs another certificate, Caa (Certificate: Aircraft on Aircraft),
that is created during UA provisioning.
Importantly this certificate allows Offline signature verification
from the UA. This is as the UA HI is included in the certificate.
Also included is the HHIT of the Registry to check the local
shortlist of Registries that the Observer device trusts (mapping
HHITs to HIs).
More details about Caa, Cra and other certificates and the
provisioning process can be found HERE.

5. Example Use Cases
This section introduces potentional use cases of the HIP based
extensions to the proposed ASTM standard authentication message.
5.1. Trusted Messages
Using the HIP Based Authentication Wrapper any single Broadcast RID
message defined by ASTM can become what the authors refer to as a
"Trusted Message".
One specific use case that is useful in the UAS RID space is the
creation of a "Trusted Vector Message". By placing a previous [or
new] vector message into the payload section of this format a
verifiable broadcast can be created.
Due to being signed this creates an authentic vector that is hard to
spoof, which can confirm flight paths in near real time.
The figure below is a example of a "Trusted Vector Message".

5.2. Wrapped Signed Hashes
Using the HIP Based Authentication Wrapper a [short] list of hashes
can be signed. These hashes are of previous individual RID messages.
This follows the format of the Signed Hash List, excluding the
psuedo-blockchain hashes found in the Signed Hash List.
To the authors, this format has limited use due to numerous concerns
of replay attacks. It is suggested to instead use the full Signed
Hash List format.
