BRSKI Cloud Registrar
draft-ietf-anima-brski-cloud-11
Abstract
Bootstrapping Remote Secure Key Infrastructures defines how to
onboard a device securely into an operator maintained infrastructure.
It assumes that there is local network infrastructure for the device
to discover and help the device. This document extends the new
device behavior so that if no local infrastructure is available, such
as in a home or remote office, that the device can use a well-defined
"call-home" mechanism to find the operator maintained infrastructure.
This document defines how to contact a well-known Cloud Registrar,
and two ways in which the new device may be redirected towards the
operator maintained infrastructure. The Cloud Registrar enables
discovery of the operator maintained infrastructure, and may enable
establishment of trust with operator maintained infrastructure that
does not support BRSKI mechanisms.

1. Introduction
Bootstrapping Remote Secure Key Infrastructures [BRSKI] BRSKI
specifies automated and secure provisioning of nodes (which are
called Pledges) with cryptographic keying material (trust anchors and
certificates) to enable authenticated and confidential communication
with other similarly enrolled nodes. This is also called enrolment.
In BRSKI, the Pledge performs enrolment by communicating with a BRSKI
Registrar belonging to the owner of the Pledge. The Pledge does not
know who its owner will be when manufactured. Instead, in BRSKI it
is assumed that the network to which the Pledge connects belongs to
the owner of the Pledge and therefore network-supported discovery
mechanisms can resolve generic, non-owner specific names to the
owners Registrar.
To support enrolment of Pledges without such an owner based access
network, the mechanisms of BRSKI Cloud are required which assume that
Pledge and Registrar simply connect to the Internet.
This work is in support of [BRSKI], Section 2.7, which describes how
a Pledge MAY contact a well-known URI of a Cloud Registrar if a local
Registrar cannot be discovered or if the Pledge's target use cases do
not include a local Registrar.
Friel, et al. Expires 18 April 2025 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft BRSKI-CLOUD October 2024
This kind of non-network onboarding is sometimes called "Application
Onboarding", as the purpose is typically to deploy a credential that
will be used by the device in it's intended use. For instance, a SIP
phone might have a client certificate to be used with a SIP proxy.
This document further specifies use of a BRSKI Cloud Registrar and
clarifies operations that are not sufficiently specified in BRSKI.
Two modes of operation are specified in this document. The Cloud
Registrar may redirect the Pledge to the owner's Registrar, or the
Cloud Registrar may issue a voucher to the Pledge that includes the
domain of the owner's Enrollment over Secure Transport [RFC7030]
(EST) server.
1.1. 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.
This document uses the terms Pledge, Registrar, MASA, and Voucher
from [BRSKI] and [RFC8366].
Cloud Registrar: The default Registrar that is deployed at a URI
that is well known to the Pledge.
EST: Enrollment over Secure Transport [RFC7030]
Local Domain: The domain where the Pledge is physically located and
bootstrapping from. This may be different from the Pledge owner's
domain.
Manufacturer: The term manufacturer is used throughout this document
as the entity that created the Pledge. This is typically the
original equipment manufacturer (OEM), but in more complex
situations, it could be a value added retailer (VAR), or possibly
even a systems integrator. Refer to [BRSKI] for more detailed
descriptions of manufacturer, VAR and OEM.
Owner Domain: The domain that the Pledge needs to discover and
bootstrap with.
Owner Registrar: The Registrar that is operated by the Owner, or the
Owner's delegate. There may not be an Owner Registrar in all
deployment scenarios.
OEM: Original Equipment Manufacturer
Friel, et al. Expires 18 April 2025 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft BRSKI-CLOUD October 2024
Provisional TLS: A mechanism defined in [BRSKI], Section 5.1 whereby
a Pledge establishes a provisional TLS connection with a Registrar
before the Pledge is provisioned with a trust anchor that can be
used for verifying the Registrar identity.
VAR: Value Added Reseller
Cloud VAR Registrar: The non-default Registrar that is operated by a
value added reseller (VAR).
1.2. Target Use Cases
This document specifies and standardizes procedures for two high
level use cases.
* Bootstrap via Cloud Registrar and Owner Registrar: The operator
maintained infrastructure supports BRSKI and has a BRSKI Registrar
deployed. More details are provided in Section 1.2.1.
* Bootstrap via Cloud Registrar and Owner EST Service: The operator
maintained infrastructure does not support BRSKI, does not have a
BRSKI Registrar deployed, but does have an Enrollment over Secure
Transport (EST) [RFC7030] service deployed. More detailed are
provided in Section 1.2.2.
Common to both uses cases is that they aid with the use of BRSKI in
the presence of many small sites, such as teleworkers, with minimum
expectations against their network infrastructure.
This use case also supports situations where a manufacturer sells a
number of devices (in bulk) to a Value Added Resller (VAR). The
manufacturer knows which devices have been sold to which VAR, but not
who the ultimate owner will be. The VAR then sells devices to other
entities, such as enterprises, and records this. A typical example
is a VoIP phone manufacturer provides telephones to a local system
integration company (a VAR). The VAR records this sale to it's Cloud
VAR Registrar system.
In this use case, this VAR has sold and services a VoIP system to an
enterprise (e.g., a SIP PBX). When a new employee needs a phone at
their home office, the VAR ships that unit across town to the
employee. When the employee plugs in the device and turns it on, the
device will be provisioned with a LDevID and configuration that
connections the phone with the Enterprises' VoIP PBX. The home
employee's network has no special provisions.
Friel, et al. Expires 18 April 2025 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft BRSKI-CLOUD October 2024
This use case also supports a chain of VARs through chained HTTP
redirects. This also supports a situation where in effect, a large
enterprise might also stock devices in a central location.
The Pledge is not expected to know whether the operator maintained
infrastructure has a BRSKI Registrar deployed or not. The Pledge
determines this based upon the response to its Voucher Request
message that it receives from the Cloud Registrar. The Cloud
Registrar is expected to determine whether the operator maintained
infrastructure has a BRSKI Registrar deployed based upon the identity
presented by the Pledge.
A Cloud Registrar will receive BRSKI communications from all devices
configured with its URI. This could be, for example, all devices of
a particular product line from a particular manufacturer. When this
is a significantly large number, a Cloud Registrar may need to be
scaled with the usual web-service scaling mechanisms.
1.2.1. Bootstrap via Cloud Registrar and Owner Registrar
A Pledge is bootstrapping from a location with no local domain
Registrar (for example, the small site or teleworker use case with no
local infrastructure to provide for automated discovery), and needs
to discover its Owner Registrar. The Cloud Registrar is used by the
Pledge to discover the Owner Registrar. The Cloud Registrar
redirects the Pledge to the Owner Registrar, and the Pledge completes
bootstrap against the Owner Registrar.
A typical example is an employee who is deploying a Pledge in a home
or small branch office, where the Pledge belongs to the employer.
There is no local domain Registrar, the Pledge needs to discover and
bootstrap with the employer's Registrar which is deployed within the
employer's network, and the Pledge needs the keying material to trust
the Registrar. For example, an employee is deploying an IP phone in
a home office and the phone needs to register to an IP PBX deployed
in their employer's office.
Protocol details for this use case are provided in Section 4.1.
1.2.2. Bootstrap via Cloud Registrar and Owner EST Service
A Pledge is bootstrapping where the owner organization does not yet
have an Owner Registrar deployed, but does have an EST service
deployed. The Cloud Registrar issues a voucher, and the Pledge
completes trust bootstrap using the Cloud Registrar. The voucher
issued by the cloud includes domain information for the owner's EST
service that the Pledge should use for certificate enrollment.
Friel, et al. Expires 18 April 2025 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft BRSKI-CLOUD October 2024
For example, an organization has an EST service deployed, but does
not have yet a BRSKI capable Registrar service deployed. The Pledge
is deployed in the organization's domain, but does not discover a
local domain Registrar or Owner Registrar. The Pledge uses the Cloud
Registrar to bootstrap, and the Cloud Registrar provides a voucher
that includes instructions on finding the organization's EST service.
This option can be used to introduce the benefits of BRSKI for an
initial period when BRSKI is not available in existing EST-Servers.
Additionally, it can also be used long-term as a security-equivalent
solution in which BRSKI and EST-Server are set up in a modular
fashion.
The use of an EST-Server instead of a BRSKI Registrar may mean that
not all the EST options required by [BRSKI] may be available and
hence this option may not support all BRSKI deployment cases. For
example, certificates to enroll into an ACP [RFC8994] needs to
include an AcpNodeName (see [RFC8994], Section 6.2.2), which non-
BRSKI capable EST-Servers may not support.
Protocol details for this use case are provided in Section 4.2.
2. Architecture
The high level architectures for the two high level use cases are
illustrated in Figure 1 and Figure 2.
In both use cases, the Pledge connects to the Cloud Registrar during
bootstrap.
For use case one, as described in Section 1.2.1, the Cloud Registrar
redirects the Pledge to an Owner Registrar in order to complete
bootstrap with the Owner Registrar. When bootstrapping against an
Owner Registrar, the Owner Registrar will interact with a CA to
assist in issuing certificates to the Pledge. This is illustrated in
Figure 1.
For use case two, as described Section 1.2.2, the Cloud Registrar
issues a voucher itself without redirecting the Pledge to an Owner
Registrar, the Cloud Registrar will inform the Pledge what domain to
use for accessing EST services in the voucher response. In this
model, the Pledge interacts directly with the EST service to enroll.
The EST service will interact with a CA to assist in issuing a
certificate to the Pledge. This is illustrated in Figure 2.
Friel, et al. Expires 18 April 2025 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft BRSKI-CLOUD October 2024
It is also possible that the Cloud Registrar may redirect the Pledge
to another Cloud Registrar operated by a VAR, with that VAR's Cloud
Registrar then redirecting the Pledge to the Owner Registrar. This
scenario is discussed further in sections Section 8.2 and
Section 9.3.
The mechanisms and protocols by which the Registrar or EST service
interacts with the CA are transparent to the Pledge and are out-of-
scope of this document.
The architectures show the Cloud Registrar and MASA as being
logically separate entities. The two functions could of course be
integrated into a single entity.
There are two different mechanisms for a Cloud Registrar to handle
voucher requests. It can redirect the request to the Owner Registrar
for handling, or it can return a voucher that pins the actual Owner
Registrar. When returning a voucher, additional bootstrapping
information is embedded in the voucher. Both mechanisms are
described in detail later in this document.

Figure 2: Architecture: Bootstrap via Cloud Registrar and Owner
EST Service
As depicted in Figure 1 and Figure 2, there are a number of parties
involve in the process. The Manufacturer, or Original Equipment
Manufacturer (OEM) builds the device, but also is expected to run the
MASA, or arrange for it to exist.
The network operator or enterprise is the intended owner of the new
device: the Pledge. This could be the enterprise itself, or in many
cases there is some outsourced IT department that might be involved.
They are the operator of the Registrar or EST Server. They may also
operate the CA, or they may contract those services from another
entity.
There is a potential additional party involved who may operate the
Cloud Registrar: the value added reseller (VAR). The VAR works with
the OEM to ship products with the right configuration to the owner.
For example, SIP telephones or other conferencing systems may be
installed by this VAR, often shipped directly from a warehouse to the
customer's remote office location. The VAR and manufacturer are
aware of which devices have been shipped to the VAR through sales
channel integrations, and so the manufacturer's Cloud Registrar is
able to redirect the Pledge through a chain of Cloud Registrars, as
explained in Section 3.3.1.
Friel, et al. Expires 18 April 2025 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft BRSKI-CLOUD October 2024
2.1. Network Connectivity
The assumption is that the Pledge already has network connectivity
prior to connecting to the Cloud Registrar. The Pledge must have an
IP address that is able to make DNS queries, and be able to send
requests to the Cloud Registrar. There are many ways to accomplish
this, from routable IPv4 or IPv6 addresses, to use of NAT44, to using
HTTP or SOCKS proxies. There are DHCP options that a network
operator can configure to accomplish any of these options. The
Pledge operator has already connected the Pledge to the network, and
the mechanism by which this has happened is out of scope of this
document. For many telephony applications, this is typically going
to be a wired connection.
For wireless use cases, some kind of existing Wi-Fi onboarding
mechanism such as WPS. Similarly, what address space the IP address
belongs to, whether it is an IPv4 or IPv6 address, or if there are
firewalls or proxies deployed between the Pledge and the cloud
registrar are all out of scope of this document.
2.2. Pledge Certificate Identity Considerations
BRSKI section 5.9.2 specifies that the Pledge MUST send an EST
[RFC7030] CSR Attributes request to the EST server before it requests
a client certificate. For the use case described in Section 1.2.1,
the Owner Registrar operates as the EST server as described in BRSKI
section 2.5.3, and the Pledge sends the CSR Attributes request to the
Owner Registrar. For the use case described in Section 1.2.2, the
EST server operates as described in [RFC7030], and the Pledge sends
the CSR Attributes request to the EST server. Note that the Pledge
only sends the CSR Attributes request to the entity acting as the EST
server as per [RFC7030] section 2.6, and MUST NOT send the CSR
Attributes request to the Cloud Registrar. The EST server MAY use
this mechanism to instruct the Pledge about the identities it should
include in the CSR request it sends as part of enrollment. The EST
server may use this mechanism to tell the Pledge what Subject or
Subject Alternative Name identity information to include in its CSR
request. This can be useful if the Subject must have a specific
value in order to complete enrollment with the CA.
EST [RFC7030] is not clear on how the CSR Attributes response should
be structured, and in particular is not clear on how a server can
instruct a client to include specific attribute values in its CSR.
[I-D.ietf-lamps-rfc7030-csrattrs] clarifies how a server can use CSR
Attributes response to specify specific values for attributes that
the client should include in its CSR.
Friel, et al. Expires 18 April 2025 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft BRSKI-CLOUD October 2024
For example, the Pledge may only be aware of its IDevID Subject which
includes a manufacturer serial number, but must include a specific
fully qualified domain name in the CSR in order to complete domain
ownership proofs required by the CA.
As another example, the Registrar may deem the manufacturer serial
number in an IDevID as personally identifiable information, and may
want to specify a new random opaque identifier that the Pledge should
use in its CSR.
3. Protocol Operation
This section outlines the high level protocol requirements and
operations that take place. Section 4 outlines the exact sequence of
message interactions between the Pledge, the Cloud Registrar, the
Owner Registrar and the Owner EST server.
3.1. Pledge Sends Voucher Request to Cloud Registrar
3.1.1. Cloud Registrar Discovery
BRSKI defines how a Pledge MAY contact a well-known URI of a Cloud
Registrar if a local domain Registrar cannot be discovered.
Additionally, certain Pledge types might never attempt to discover a
local domain Registrar and might automatically bootstrap against a
Cloud Registrar.
The details of the URI are manufacturer specific, with BRSKI giving
the example "brski-registrar.manufacturer.example.com".
The Pledge SHOULD be provided with the entire URI of the Cloud
Registrar, including the protocol and path components, which are
typically "https://" and "/.well-known/brski", respectively.
3.1.2. Pledge - Cloud Registrar TLS Establishment Details
According to [BRSKI], Section 2.7, the Pledge MUST use an Implicit
Trust Anchor database (see EST [RFC7030]) to authenticate the Cloud
Registrar service. The Pledge MUST establish a mutually
authenticated TLS connection with the Cloud Registrar. Unlike the
Provisional TLS procedures documented in BRSKI section 5.1, the
Pledge MUST NOT establish a Provisional TLS connection with the Cloud
Registrar.
Friel, et al. Expires 18 April 2025 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft BRSKI-CLOUD October 2024
Pledges MUST and Cloud/Owner Registrars SHOULD support the use of the
"server_name" TLS extension (SNI, RFC6066). Pledges SHOULD send a
valid "server_name" extension whenever they know the domain name of
the registrar they connect to, unless it is known that Cloud or Owner
Registrars for this Pledge implementation will never need to be
deployed in a cloud setting requiring the "server_name" extension.
The Pledge MUST be manufactured with pre-loaded trust anchors that
are used to verify the identity of the Cloud Registrar when
establishing the TLS connection. The TLS connection can be verified
using a public Web PKI trust anchor using [RFC9525] DNS-ID mechanisms
or a pinned certification authority. This is a local implementation
decision. Refer to Section 9.2 for trust anchor security
considerations.
The Cloud Registrar MUST verify the identity of the Pledge by sending
a TLS CertificateRequest message to the Pledge during TLS session
establishment. The Cloud Registrar MAY include a
certificate_authorities field in the message to specify the set of
allowed IDevID issuing CAs that Pledges may use when establishing
connections with the Cloud Registrar.
To protect itself against DoS attacks, the Cloud Registrar SHOULD
reject TLS connections when it can determine during TLS
authentication that it cannot support the Pledge, for example because
the Pledge cannot provide an IDevID signed by a CA recognized/
supported by the Cloud Registrar.
3.1.3. Pledge Sends Voucher Request Message
After the Pledge has established a mutually authenticated TLS
connection with the Cloud Registrar, the Pledge generates a voucher
request message as outlined in BRSKI section 5.2, and sends the
voucher request message to the Cloud Registrar.
3.2. Cloud Registrar Processes Voucher Request Message
The Cloud Registrar must determine Pledge ownership. Prior to
ownership determination, the Registrar checks the request for
correctness and if it is unwilling or unable to handle the request,
it MUST return a suitable 4xx or 5xx error response to the Pledge as
defined by [BRSKI] and HTTP. In the case of an unknown Pledge a 404
is returned, for a malformed request 400 is returned, or in case of
server overload 503 is returned.
If the request is correct and the Registrar is able to handle it, but
unable to determine ownership at that time, then it MUST return a 401
Unauthorized response to the Pledge. This signals to the Pledge that
Friel, et al. Expires 18 April 2025 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft BRSKI-CLOUD October 2024
there is currently no known owner domain for it, but that retrying
later might resolve this situation. In this scenario, the Registrar
SHOULD include a Retry-After header that includes a time to defer.
The absense of a Retry-After header indicates to the Pledge not to
attempt again. The Pledge MUST restart the bootstrapping process
from the beginning.
A Pledge with some kind of indicator (such as a screen or LED) SHOULD
consider all 4xx and 5xx errros to be a bootstrapping failure, and
indicate this to the operator.
If the Cloud Registrar successfully determines ownership, then it
MUST take one of the following actions:
* error: return a suitable 4xx or 5xx error response (as defined by
[BRSKI] and HTTP) to the Pledge if the request processing failed
for any reason
* redirect to Owner Registrar: redirect the Pledge to an Owner
Registrar via 307 response code
* redirect to owner EST server: issue a voucher (containing an est-
domain attribute) and return a 200 response code
3.2.1. Pledge Ownership Look Up
The Cloud Registrar needs some suitable mechanism for knowing the
correct owner of a connecting Pledge based on the presented identity
certificate. For example, if the Pledge establishes TLS using an
IDevID that is signed by a known manufacturing CA, the Registrar
could extract the serial number from the IDevID and use this to look
up a database of Pledge IDevID serial numbers to owners.
The mechanism by which the Cloud Registrar determines Pledge
ownership is, however, out-of-scope of this document. The Cloud
Registrar is strongly tied to the manufacturers' processes for device
identity.
3.2.2. Bootstrap via Cloud Registrar and Owner Registrar
Once the Cloud Registrar has determined Pledge ownership, the Cloud
Registrar MAY redirect the Pledge to the Owner Registrar in order to
complete bootstrap. If the owner wants the Cloud Registrar to
redirect Pledges to their Owner Registrar, the owner must register
their Owner Registrar URI with cloud Registrar. The mechanism by
which Pledge owners register their Owner Registrar URI with the Cloud
Registrar is out-of-scope of this document.
Friel, et al. Expires 18 April 2025 [Page 13]
Internet-Draft BRSKI-CLOUD October 2024
In case of redirection, the Cloud Registrar replies to the voucher
request with an HTTP 307 Temporary Redirect response code, including
the owner's local domain in the HTTP Location header.
3.2.3. Bootstrap via Cloud Registrar and Owner EST Service
If the Cloud Registrar issues a voucher, it returns the voucher in an
HTTP response with a 200 response code.
The Cloud Registrar MAY issue a 202 response code if it is willing to
issue a voucher, but will take some time to prepare the voucher.
The voucher MUST include the new "est-domain" field as defined in
[RFC8366bis]. This tells the Pledge where the domain of the EST
service to use for completing certificate enrollment.
The voucher MAY include the new "additional-configuration" field.
This field points the Pledge to a URI where Pledge specific
additional configuration information may be retrieved. For example,
a SIP phone might retrieve a manufacturer specific configuration file
that contains information about how to do SIP Registration. One
advantage of this mechanism over current mechanisms like DHCP options
120 defined in [RFC3361] or option 125 defined in [RFC3925] is that
the voucher is returned in a confidential (TLS-protected) transport,
and so can include device-specific credentials for retrieval of the
configuration.
The exact Pledge and Registrar behavior for handling and specifying
the "additional-configuration" field is out-of-scope of this
document.
3.3. Pledge Handles Cloud Registrar Response
3.3.1. Bootstrap via Cloud Registrar and Owner Registrar
The Cloud Registrar has returned a 307 response to a voucher request.
The Cloud Registrar may be redirecting the Pledge to the Owner
Registrar, or to a different Cloud Registrar operated by a VAR.
The Pledge MUST restart its bootstrapping process by sending a new
voucher request message (with a fresh nonce) using the location
provided in the HTTP redirect.
The Pledge SHOULD attempt to validate the identity of the Cloud VAR
Registrar specified in the 307 response using its Implicit Trust
Anchor Database. If validation of this identity succeeds using the
Implicit Trust Anchor Database, then the Pledge MAY accept a
subsequent 307 response from this Cloud VAR Registrar.
Friel, et al. Expires 18 April 2025 [Page 14]
Internet-Draft BRSKI-CLOUD October 2024
The Pledge MAY continue to follow a number of 307 redirects provided
that each 307 redirect target Registrar identity is validated using
the Implicit Trust Anchor Database.
However, if validation of a 307 redirect target Registrar identity
using the Implicit Trust Anchor Database fails, then the Pledge MUST
NOT accept any further 307 responses from the Registrar. At this
point, the TLS connection that has been established is considered a
Provisional TLS, as per [BRSKI], Section 5.1. The Pledge then
(re)sends a voucher-request on this connection. This connection is
validated using the pinned data from the voucher, which is the
standard BRSKI mechanism.
The Pledge MUST process any error messages as defined in [BRSKI], and
in case of error MUST restart the process from its provisioned Cloud
Registrar. The exception is that a 401 Unauthorized code SHOULD
cause the Pledge to retry a number of times over a period of a few
hours.
The Pledge MUST never visit a location that it has already been to,
in order to avoid any kind of cycle. If it happens that a location
is repeated, then the Pledge MUST fail the bootstrapping attempt and
go back to the beginning, which includes listening to other sources
of bootstrapping information as specified in [BRSKI] section 4.1 and
5.0. The Pledge MUST also have a limit on the total number of
redirects it will a follow, as the cycle detection requires that it
keep track of the places it has been. That limit MUST be in the
dozens or more redirects such that no reasonable delegation path
would be affected.
When the Pledge cannot validate the connection, then it MUST
establish a Provisional TLS connection with the specified local
domain Registrar at the location specified.
The Pledge then sends a voucher request message via the local domain
Registrar.
After the Pledge receives the voucher, it verifies the TLS connection
to the local domain Registrar and continues with enrollment and
bootstrap as per standard BRSKI operation.

3.3.2. Bootstrap via Cloud Registrar and Owner EST Service
The Cloud Registrar returned a voucher to the Pledge. The Pledge
MUST perform voucher verification as per BRSKI section 5.6.1.
The Pledge SHOULD extract the "est-domain" field from the voucher,
and SHOULD continue with EST enrollment as per standard EST
operation. Note that the Pledge has been instructed to connect to
the EST server specified in the "est-domain" field, and therefore
SHOULD use EST mechanisms, and not BRSKI mechanisms, when connecting
to the EST server.
4. Protocol Details
4.1. Bootstrap via Cloud Registrar and Owner Registrar
This flow illustrates the "Bootstrap via Cloud Registrar and Owner
Registrar" use case. A Pledge is bootstrapping in a remote location
with no local domain Registrar. The assumption is that the Owner
Registrar domain is accessible, and the Pledge can establish a
network connection with the Owner Registrar. This may require that
the owner network firewall exposes the Owner Registrar on the public
internet.

The process starts, in step 1, when the Pledge establishes a Mutual
TLS channel with the Cloud Registrar using artifacts created during
the manufacturing process of the Pledge.
In step 2, the Pledge sends a voucher request to the Cloud Registrar.
The Cloud Registrar determines Pledge ownership look up as outlined
in Section 3.2.1, and determines the Owner Registrar domain. In step
3, the Cloud Registrar redirects the Pledge to the Owner Registrar
domain.
Friel, et al. Expires 18 April 2025 [Page 17]
Internet-Draft BRSKI-CLOUD October 2024
Steps 4 and onwards follow the standard BRSKI flow. The Pledge
establishes a Provisional TLS connection with the Owner Registrar,
and sends a voucher request to the Owner Registrar. The Registrar
forwards the voucher request to the MASA. Assuming the MASA issues a
voucher, then the Pledge verifies the TLS connection with the
Registrar using the pinned-domain-cert from the voucher and completes
the BRSKI flow.
4.2. Bootstrap via Cloud Registrar and Owner EST Service
This flow illustrates the "Bootstrap via Cloud Registrar and Owner
EST Service" use case. A Pledge is bootstrapping in a location with
no local domain Registrar. The Cloud Registrar is instructing the
Pledge to connect directly to an EST server for enrolment using EST
mechanisms. The assumption is that the EST domain is accessible, and
the Pledge can establish a network connection with the EST server.

The process starts, in step 1, when the Pledge establishes a Mutual
TLS channel with the Cloud Registrar/MASA using artifacts created
during the manufacturing process of the Pledge. In step 2, the
Pledge sends a voucher request to the Cloud Registrar/MASA, and in
the response in step 3, the Pledge receives an [RFC8366bis] format
voucher from the Cloud Registrar/MASA that includes its assigned EST
domain in the est-domain attribute.
In step 4, the Pledge establishes a TLS connection with the EST RA
specified in the voucher est-domain attribute. The connection may
involve crossing the Internet requiring a DNS look up on the provided
Friel, et al. Expires 18 April 2025 [Page 19]
Internet-Draft BRSKI-CLOUD October 2024
name. It may also be a local address that includes an IP address
literal including both [RFC1918] and IPv6 Unique Local Addresses
[RFC4193]. The artifact provided in the pinned-domain-cert is
trusted as a trust anchor, and is used to verify the EST server
identity. The EST server identity MUST be verified using the pinned-
domain-cert value provided in the voucher as described in [RFC7030]
section 3.3.1.
There is a case where the pinned-domain-cert is the identical End-
Entity (EE) Certificate as the EST server. It also explicitly
includes the case where the EST server has a self-signed EE
Certificate, but it may also be an EE certificate that is part of a
larger PKI. If the certificate is not a self-signed or EE
certificate, then the Pledge SHOULD apply [RFC9525] DNS-ID
verification on the certificate against the domain provided in the
est-domain attribute. If the est-domain was provided by with an IP
address literal, then it is unlikely that it can be verified, and in
that case, it is expected that either a self-signed certificate or an
EE certificate will be pinned by the voucher.
The Pledge also has the details it needs to be able to create the CSR
request to send to the RA based on the details provided in the
voucher.
In steps 5.a and 5.b, the Pledge may optionally notify the Cloud
Registrar/MASA of the success or failure of its attempt to establish
a secure TLS channel with the EST server.
The Pledge then follows that, in step 6, with an EST Enroll request
with the CSR and obtains the requested certificate. The Pledge must
verify that the issued certificate in step 7 has the expected
identifier obtained from the Cloud Registrar/MASA in step 3.
5. Lifecycle Considerations
BRSKI and the Cloud Registrar support provided in this document are
dependant upon the manufacturer maintaining the required
infrastructure.
[BRSKI], Section 10.7 and Section 11.5 and 11.6 detail some
additional considerations about device vs manufacturer life span.
The well-known URL that is used is specified by the manufacturer when
designing it's firmware, and is therefore completely under the
manufacturer's control. If the manufacturer wishes to change the
URL, or discontinue the service, then the manufacturer will need to
arrange for a firmware update where appropriate changes are made.
Friel, et al. Expires 18 April 2025 [Page 20]
Internet-Draft BRSKI-CLOUD October 2024
6. YANG extension for Voucher based redirect
[RFC8366bis] contains the two needed voucher extensions: est-domain
and additional-configuration which are needed when a client is
redirected to a local EST server.
7. IANA Considerations
This document makes no IANA requests.
8. Implementation Considerations
8.1. Captive Portals
A Pledge may be deployed in a network where a captive portal or an
intelligent home gateway that provides access control on all
connections is also deployed. Captive portals that do not follow the
requirements of [RFC8952] section 1 may forcibly redirect HTTPS
connections. While this is a deprecated practice as it breaks TLS in
a way that most users can not deal with, it is still common in many
networks.
When the Pledge attempts to connect to the Cloud Registrar, an
incorrect connection will be detected because the Pledge will be
unable to verify the TLS connection to its Cloud Registrar via DNS-ID
check [RFC9525], Section 6.3. That is, the certificate returned from
the captive portal will not match.
At this point a network operator who controls the captive portal,
noticing the connection to what seems a legitimate destination (the
Cloud Registrar), may then permit that connection. This enables the
first connection to go through.
The connection is then redirected to the Registrar via 307, or to an
EST server via est-domain in a voucher. If it is a 307 redirect,
then a Provisional TLS connection will be initiated, and it will
succeed. The Provisional TLS connection does not do [RFC9525],
Section 6.3 DNS-ID verification at the beginning of the connection,
so a forced redirection to a captive portal system will not be
detected. The subsequent BRSKI POST of a voucher will most likely be
met by a 404 or 500 HTTP code.
It is RECOMMENDED therefore that the Pledge look for [RFC8910]
attributes in DHCP, and if present, use the [RFC8908] API to learn if
it is captive.
Friel, et al. Expires 18 April 2025 [Page 21]
Internet-Draft BRSKI-CLOUD October 2024
The scenarios outlined here when a Pledge is deployed behind a
captive portal may result in failure scenarios, but do not constitute
a security risk, as the Pledge is correctly verifying all TLS
connections as per [BRSKI].
8.2. Multiple HTTP Redirects
If the Redirect to Registrar method is used, as described in
Section 4.1, there may be a series of 307 redirects. An example of
why this might occur is that the manufacturer only knows that it
resold the device to a particular value added reseller (VAR), and
there may be a chain of such VARs. It is important the Pledge avoid
being drawn into a loop of redirects. This could happen if a VAR
does not think they are authoritative for a particular device. A
"helpful" programmer might instead decide to redirect back to the
manufacturer in an attempt to restart at the top: perhaps there is
another process that updates the manufacturer's database and this
process is underway. Instead, the VAR MUST return a 404 error if it
cannot process the device. This will force the device to stop,
timeout, and then try all mechanisms again.
There are additional considerations regarding TLS certificate
validation that must be accounted for as outlined in {redirect-
response}. When the Pledge follows a 307 redirect from the default
Cloud Registrar, it will attempt to establish a TLS connection with
the redirected target Registrar. The Pledge implementation will
typically register a callback with the TLS stack, where the TLS stack
allows the implementation to validate the identity of the Registrar.
The Pledge should check whether the identity of the Registrar can be
validated with its Implicit Trust Anchor Database and track the
result, but should always return a successful validation result to
the TLS stack, thus allowing the [BRSKI] Provisional TLS connection
to be established. The Pledge will then send a Voucher Request to
the Registrar. If the Registrar returns a 307 response, the Pledge
MUST NOT follow this redirect if the Registrar identity was not
validated using its Implicit Trust Anchor Database. If the Registrar
identity was validated using the Implicit Trust Anchor Database, then
the Pledge MAY follow the redirect.
9. Security Considerations
The Cloud Registrar described in this document inherits all the
strong security properties that are described in [BRSKI], and none of
the security mechanisms that are defined in [BRSKI] are bypassed or
weakened by this document. The Cloud Registrar also inherits all the
potential issues that are described in [BRSKI]. This includes
dependency upon continued operation of the manufacturer provided
MASA, as well as potential complications where a manufacturer might
Friel, et al. Expires 18 April 2025 [Page 22]
Internet-Draft BRSKI-CLOUD October 2024
interfere with resale of a device.
In addition to the dependency upon the MASA, the successful
enrollment of a device using a Cloud Registrar depends upon the
correct and continued operation of this new service. This internet
accessible service may be operated by the manufacturer and/or by one
or more value-added-resellers. All the considerations for operation
of the MASA also apply to operation of the Cloud Registrar.
9.1. Security Updates for the Pledge
Unlike many other uses of BRSKI, in the Cloud Registrar case it is
assumed that the Pledge has connected to a network, such as the
public Internet, on which some amount of connectivity is possible,
but there is no other local configuration available. (Note: there
are many possible configurations in which the device might not have
unlimited connectivity to the public Internet, but for which there
might be connectivity possible. For instance, the device could be
without a default route or NAT44, but able to make HTTP requests via
an HTTP proxy configured via DHCP)
There is another advantage to being online: the Pledge may be able to
contact the manufacturer before bootstrapping in order to apply the
latest firmware updates. This may also include updates to the
Implicit list of Trust Anchors. In this way, a Pledge that may have
been in a dusty box in a warehouse for a long time can be updated to
the latest (exploit-free) firmware before attempting bootstrapping.
9.2. Trust Anchors for Cloud Registrar
The Implicit Trust Anchor database is used to authenticate the Cloud
Registrar. This list is built-in by the manufacturer along with a
DNS name to which to connect. (The manufacturer could even build in
IP addresses as a last resort)
The Cloud Registrar may have a certificate that can be verified using
a public (WebPKI) anchor. If one or more public WebPKI anchors are
used, it is recommended to limit the number of WebPKI anchors to only
those necessary for establishing trust with the Cloud Registrar. As
another option, the Cloud Registrar may have a certificate that can
be verified using a Private/Cloud PKI anchor as described in
[I-D.irtf-t2trg-taxonomy-manufacturer-anchors] section 3. The trust
anchor, or trust anchors, to use is an implementation decision and
out of scope of this document.
Friel, et al. Expires 18 April 2025 [Page 23]
Internet-Draft BRSKI-CLOUD October 2024
The Pledge may have any kind of Trust Anchor built in: from full
multi-level WebPKI to the single self-signed certificate used by the
Cloud Registrar. There are many tradeoffs to having more or less of
the PKI present in the Pledge, which is addressed in part in
[I-D.irtf-t2trg-taxonomy-manufacturer-anchors] in sections 3 and 5.
9.3. Considerations for HTTP Redirect
When the default Cloud Registrar redirects a Pledge using HTTP 307 to
an Owner Registrar, or another Cloud Registrar operated by a VAR, the
Pledge MUST establish a Provisional TLS connection with the Registrar
as specified in [BRSKI]. The Pledge is unable to determine whether
it has been redirected to another Cloud Registrar that is operated by
a VAR, or if it has been redirected to an Owner Registrar, and does
not differentiate between the two scenarios.
9.4. Considerations for Voucher est-domain
A Cloud Registrar supporting the same set of Pledges as a MASA may be
integrated with the MASA to avoid the need for a network based API
between them, and without changing their external behavior as
specified here.
When a Cloud Registrar handles the scenario described in
{bootstrapping-with-no-owner-registrar} by the returning "est-domain"
attribute in the voucher, the Cloud Registrar actually does all the
voucher processing as specified in [BRSKI]. This is an example
deployment scenario where the Cloud Registrar may be operated by the
same entity as the MASA, and it may even be integrated with the MASA.
When a voucher is issued by the Cloud Registrar and that voucher
contains an "est-domain" attribute, the Pledge MUST verify the TLS
connection with this EST server using the "pinned-domain-cert"
attribute in the voucher.
The reduced operational security mechanisms outlined in [BRSKI]
sections 7.3 and 11 MAY be supported when the Pledge connects with
the EST server. These mechanisms reduce the security checks that
take place when the Pledge enrolls with the EST server. Refer to
[BRSKI] sections 7.3 and 11 for further details.
