A Profile for Autonomous System Provider Authorization
draft-ietf-sidrops-aspa-profile-10
Abstract
This document defines a standard profile for Autonomous System
Provider Authorization in the Resource Public Key Infrastructure. An
Autonomous System Provider Authorization is a digitally signed object
that provides a means of validating that a Customer Autonomous System
holder has authorized members of Provider set to be its upstream
providers or provide route server service at internet exchange point.
For the Providers it means that they are legal to send prefixes
received from the Customer Autonomous System in all directions
including providers and peers.

Internet-Draft ASPA Profile August 2022
1. Introduction
The primary purpose of the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI)
is to improve routing security. (See [RFC6480] for more
information.) As part of this infrastructure, a mechanism is needed
to validate that a AS has permission from a Customer AS (CAS) holder
to send routes in all directions. The digitally signed Autonomous
System Provider Authorization (ASPA) object provides this validation
mechanism.
The ASPA uses the template for RPKI digitally signed objects
[RFC6488], which defines a Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS)
[RFC5652] wrapper for the ASPA content as well as a generic
validation procedure for RPKI signed objects. As ASPAs need to be
validated with RPKI certificates issued by the current
infrastructure, we assume the mandatory-to-implement algorithms in
[RFC6485], or its successor.
To complete the specification of the ASPA (see Section 4 of
[RFC6488]), this document defines:
1. The object identifier (OID) that identifies the ASPA signed
object. This OID appears in the eContentType field of the
encapContentInfo object as well as the content-type signed
attribute within the signerInfo structure).
2. The ASN.1 syntax for the ASPA content, which is the payload
signed by the CAS. The ASPA content is encoded using the ASN.1
[X680] Distinguished Encoding Rules (DER) [X690].
3. The steps required to validate an ASPA beyond the validation
steps specified in [RFC6488]).
2. The ASPA Content Type
The content-type for an ASPA is defined as id-ct-ASPA, which has the
numerical value of 1.2.840.113549.1.9.16.1.49. This OID MUST appear
both within the eContentType in the encapContentInfo structure as
well as the content-type signed attribute within the signerInfo
structure (see [RFC6488]).
3. The ASPA eContent
The content of an ASPA identifies the Customer AS (CAS) as well as
the Set of Provider ASes (SPAS) that are authorized to further
propagate announcements received from the customer.
Azimov, et al. Expires 13 February 2023 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft ASPA Profile August 2022
Not all route servers at internet exchange points are transparent,
e.g. in some cases they are present in the ASPATH. In this case
route server AS is acting as a provider AS, which propagates routes
between its customers. Thus, a customer MUST add both upstream
providers and non-transparent route sever AS it is connected to its
SPAS.
If customer is connected to multiple transit providers/non-
transparent route servers they MUST be registered in a single ASPA
object. This rule is important to avoid possible race conditions
during updates.
The eContent of an ASPA is an instance of ASProviderAttestation,
formally defined by the following ASN.1 [X680] module:

Note that this content appears as the eContent within the
encapContentInfo as specified in [RFC6488].
3.1. version
The version number of the ASProviderAttestation MUST be v0.
Azimov, et al. Expires 13 February 2023 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft ASPA Profile August 2022
3.2. customerASID
The customerASID field contains the AS number of the Autonomous
System (AS) that authorizes a collection of provider ASes (as listed
in the providerASSet) to propagate prefixes in the specified address
family to other ASes.
3.3. providers
The providers field contains the listing of ASes that are authorized
to further propagate announcements in the specified address family
received from the customer.
Each element contained in the providers field is an instance of
ProviderAS.
In addition to the constraints described by the formal ASN.1
definition, the contents of the providers field MUST satisfy the
following constraints:
* The CustomerASID value MUST NOT appear in any providerASID field.
* The elements of providers MUST be ordered in ascending numerical
order by the value of the providerASID field.
* Each value of providerASID MUST be unique (with respect to the
other elements of providers).
3.3.1. ProviderAS
3.3.1.1. providerASID
The providerASID field contains the AS number of an AS that has been
authorized by the customer AS to propagate prefixes in the specified
address family to other ASes.
3.3.1.2. afiLimit
The afiLimit field optionally constrains the authorization given to
the provider AS to a single address family.
If present, it contains the two-octet Address Family Identifier (AFI)
for which the relation between the customer and provider is
authorized. Only permitted AFI values are the IPv4 and IPv6 AFI
values as specified in [IANA-AF].
If omitted, the authorization is valid for both IPv4 and IPv6
announcements.

Internet-Draft ASPA Profile August 2022
4. ASPA Validation
Before a relying party can use an ASPA to validate a routing
announcement, the relying party MUST first validate the ASPA object
itself. To validate an ASPA, the relying party MUST perform all the
validation checks specified in [RFC6488] as well as the following
additional ASPA-specific validation step.
* The Autonomous System Identifier Delegation Extension [RFC3779]
MUST be present in the end-entity (EE) certificate (contained
within the ASPA), and the Customer ASID in the ASPA eContent MUST
be contained within the set of AS numbers specified by the EE
certificate's Autonomous System Identifier Delegation Extension.
* The IP Address Delegation Extension [RFC3779] MUST be absent.
5. IANA Considerations
Please add the id-mod-rpki-aspa-2022 to the SMI Security for S/MIME
Module Identifier (1.2.840.113549.1.9.16.0) registry

6. Security Considerations
While it's not restricted, but it's highly recommended maintaining
for selected Customer AS a single ASPA object that covers all
connected providers/route servers. Such policy should prevent race
conditions during ASPA updates that might affect prefix propagation.
The software that provides hosting for ASPA records SHOULD support
enforcement of this rule. In the case of the transition process
between different CA registries, the ASPA records SHOULD be kept
identical in all registries.
7. Implementation status
This section is to be removed before publishing as an RFC.
This section records the status of known implementations of the
protocol defined by this specification at the time of posting of this
Internet-Draft, and is based on a proposal described in RFC 7942.
The description of implementations in this section is intended to
assist the IETF in its decision processes in progressing drafts to
RFCs. Please note that the listing of any individual implementation
here does not imply endorsement by the IETF. Furthermore, no effort
has been spent to verify the information presented here that was
supplied by IETF contributors. This is not intended as, and must not
be construed to be, a catalog of available implementations or their
features. Readers are advised to note that other implementations may
exist.
According to RFC 7942, "this will allow reviewers and working groups
to assign due consideration to documents that have the benefit of
running code, which may serve as evidence of valuable experimentation
and feedback that have made the implemented protocols more mature.
It is up to the individual working groups to use this information as
they see fit".
* A validator implementation [rpki-client] written in C based on the
OpenBSD RPKI Validator was provided by Job Snijders from Fastly.
* A signer and decoder implementation [rpkimancer] written in Python
was provided by Ben Maddison from Workonline.
