1.  Introduction

   DRIP Certificates are the backbone of trust in DRIP UAS RID,
   consisting of a chain of special certificates that results in a
   compact certificate that is used in Broadcast RID.  Some of the
   certificates are stored in and are generated by the Registries
   (defined in Section 4.3) and allow a user to confirm the
   trustworthiness of an Unmanned Aircraft (herein referred to as
   Aircraft) even in the scenario that the Observer is disconnected from
   the Internet.

1.1.  Use of the word Certificate

   The certificates defined in the document were originally referred to
   as Host Identity Claims as early in the documents inception the
   authors felt that a distinction should have been drawn between
   certificates and what was being defined here.

Internet-Draft               identity-claims                October 2020

   This was due to the term "certificate" having significant technologic
   and legal baggage associated with it, specifically around X.509
   certificates.  These type of certificates and Public Key
   Infrastructure invokes more legal and public policy considerations
   than probably any other electronic communication sector.  It emerged
   as a governmental/business platform for trusted identity management
   and was pursued in international bodies with links into treaty
   instruments.

2.  Terminology

2.1.  Required 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

   See [drip-requirements] for common DRIP terms.

   HDA:  Hierarchial HIT Domain Authority.  The 16 bit field identifying
      the HIT Domain Authority under a RAA.

   HID:  Hierarchy ID.  The 32 bit field providing the HIT Hierarchy ID
      (i.e.  RAA + HDA).

   RAA:  Registered Assigning Authority.  The 16 bit field identifying
      the Hierarchical HIT Assigning Authority.

3.  DRIP Certificates

   The DRIP Certificates is a set of custom certificates to be used in
   the USS/UTM system.  They are created during the provision of an
   Aircraft and are tied to the UAS ID [drip-rid].

   These certificates when chained together can create a chain of trust
   back to the manufacturer itself during the initial production of a
   given Aircraft.  The chain can also be used by authorized entities to
   trace an Aircraft through all owners and flights in the Aircraft's
   lifetime (ICAO practice on manned aircraft).

   The rest of this section will define the formats of certificates in
   DRIP and their common uses.

3.1.  Certificate: X on X (Cxx Form)

   The Cxx Form of DRIP Certificates is a self-signed certificate (by an
   entity known as 'x') staking an unverified claim on a HHIT/HI pairing
   until an expiration date/time.

   Certificates of the Cxx Form are 116 bytes.  The offset of the
   Expiration Timestamp SHOULD be of significant length (possibly
   years).

   These are 5 (five) Cxx Certificates that can be created in a standard
   DRIP UAS RID system: Manufacturer on Manufacturer, RAA on RAA, HDA on
   HDA (Registry on Registry), Operator on Operator, and Aircraft on
   Aircraft.  This is not an exhaustive list as any entity with the DRIP
   UAS system SHOULD have a Cxx for itself.

3.1.1.  Certificate: X on X (Short Form)

   A smaller version of Certificate: X on X exists where the Host
   Identity is removed allowing a claim to be made in 84 bytes.

   The Host Identity is expected to be looked up via [hhit-registries]
   when connected to the Internet.  The smaller size of this certificate
   has the downside of not allowing for signature verification when
   Internet connectivity is unavailible to retreive the Host Identity.

3.2.  Certificate: X on Y (Cxy Form)

   The Cxy Form of DRIP Certificates is a certificate where Entity x
   asserts trust in the binding claimed by Entity y (in Cyy) and signs
   this asserting with a timestamp and an expiration of when the binding
   is no longer asserted by Entity x.

   Cxy Form wraps both self-signed certificates of the entities and is
   signed by Entity x.  Two timestamps, one taken at the time of signing
   and one as an expiration time are used to set boundaries to the
   assertion.  Care should be given to how far into the future the
   Expiration Timestamp is set, but is left up to system policy.

   Most certificates of this form have a length of 304 bytes.
   Certificate: Registry on Operator on Aircraft is unique in that is
   680 bytes long, binding of two Cxy forms (in this specific case
   Certificate: Registry on Operator with Certificate: Operator on
   Aircraft).

3.2.1.  Certificate: X on Y (Short Form)

   This certificate is a special certificate that is the ultimate
   certificate of the DRIP UAS system.  It is used in Broadcast RID to
   provide the trustworthiness of the Aircraft without the need of the
   Observer to be connected to the Internet.

                 Figure 4: Certificate: X on Y (Short Form)

   The short form of the Cxy this certificate is 200 bytes long and is
   designed to fit inside the framing of the ASTM F3411 Authentication
   Message.  The HHIT of Entity X is used in place of the full Cxx (see
   Section 5 for comments).  The timestamp is removed and only an
   expiration timestamp is present.

   During creation the Expiration Timestamp MUST be no later than the
   Expiration Timestamp found in Cyy.

   Certificate: Registry on Aircraft is the main certificate in this
   class that is used in Broadcast RID using the HDAs HHIT and the
   Certificate: Aircraft on Aircraft for the current UAS ID.

3.3.  Timestamps

   Timestamps MAY be the standard UNIX time or a protocol specific
   timestamp, to avoid programming complexities.  For example [F3411-19]
   uses a 00:00:00 01/01/2019 offset.  When a Expiration Timestamp is
   required a desired offset is added, setting the timestamp into the
   future.  The amount of offset for specific timestamps is left to best
   practice.

3.4.  Signatures

   Signatures are ALWAYS taken over the preceding fields in the
   certificate.  For DRIP the EdDSA25519 algorithm from [RFC8032] is
   used.

4.  Provisioning

   Under DRIP UAS RID a special provisioning procedure is required to
   properly generate and distribute the certificates to all parties in
   the USS/UTM ecosystem using DRIP RID.

   Keypairs are expected to be generated on the device hardware it will
   be used on.  Due to hardware limitations (see Security
   Considerations) and connectivity it is acceptable under DRIP RID to
   generate keypairs for the Aircraft on Operator devices and later
   securely inject them into the Aircraft.  The methods to securely
   inject and store keypair information in a "secure element" of the
   Aircraft is out of scope of this document.

4.1.  HHIT Delegation

   Under the FAA [NPRM], it is expecting that IDs for UAS are assigned
   by the UTM and are generally one-time use.  The methods for this
   however are unspecified leaving two options.

   1  The entity generates its own HHIT, discovering and using the RAA
      and HDA for the target Registry.  The method for discovering a
      Registry's RAA and HDA is out of scope here.  This allows for the
      device to generate an HHIT to send to the Registry to be accepted
      (thus generating the required Host Identity Claim) or denied.

   2  The entity sends to the Registry its HI for it to be hashed and
      result in the HHIT.  The Registry would then either accept
      (returning the HHIT to the device) or deny this pairing.

   In either case the Registry must decide if the HI/HHIT pairing is
   valid.  This in its simplest form is checking the current Registry
   for a collision on the HHIT.

Wiethuechter, et al.      Expires 29 April 2021                 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft               identity-claims                October 2020

   Upon accepting a HI/HHIT pair the Registry MUST populate the required
   DNS serving the HDA with the HIP RR and other relevant RR types (such
   as TXT and CERT).  The Registry MUST also generate the appropriate
   DRIP Certificates for the given operation.

   If the Registry denied the HI/HHIT pair, because there was a HHIT
   collision or any other reason, the Registry MUST signal back to the
   device being provisioned that a new HI and HHIT needs to be
   generated.

4.2.  Manufacturer

               +----------+
               | Aircraft |
               +----------+

   During the initial configuration and production at the factory the
   Aircraft MUST be configured to have a serial number.  ASTM defines
   this to be an ANSI/CTA-2063A.  Under DRIP a HHIT can be encoded as
   such to be able to convert back and forth between them.  This is out
   of scope for this document.

   Under DRIP the Manufacturer SHOULD be using HHITs and have their own
   keypair and Cxx (Certificate: Manufacturer on Manufacturer).  [Ed.
   Note: Some words on aircraft keypair and certs here].

   Certificate: Aircraft 0 on Aircraft 0 (Ca0a0) is extracted by the
   manufacturer and send to their Certificate Authority (CA) to be
   verified and added.  A resulting certificate (Certificate:
   Manufacturer on Aircraft 0) SHOULD be a DRIP Certificate in the Cxy
   Form - however this certificate could be a X.509 certificate binding
   the serial number to the manufacturer.

4.3.  Registry

   TODO

Internet-Draft               identity-claims                October 2020

   DRIP UAS RID defines two levels of hierarchy maintained by the
   Registration Assigning Authority (RAA) and HHIT Domain Authority
   (HDA).  The authors anticipate that an RAA is owned and operated by a
   regional CAA (or a delegated party by an CAA in a specific airspace
   region) with HDAs being contracted out.  As such a chain of trust for
   registries is required to ensure trustworthiness is not compromised.
   More information on the registries can be found in [hhit-registries].

   Both the RAA and HDA generate their own keypairs and self-signed
   certificates (Certificate: RAA on RAA and Certificate: HDA on HDA
   respectively).  The HDA sends to the RAA its self-signed certificate
   to be added into the RAA DNS.

   The RAA confirms the certificate received is valid and that no HHIT
   collisions occur before added a HIP RR to its DNS for the new HDA.  A
   Certificate: RAA on HDA is sent as a confirmation that provisioning
   was successful.

   The HDA is now a valid "Registry" and uses its keypair and
   Certificate: HDA on HDA with all provisioning requests from
   downstream.

4.4.  Operator

               | Operator |

   The Operator generates a keypair and HHIT as specified in DRIP UAS
   RID.  A self-signed certificate (Certificate: Operator on Operator)
   is generated and sent to the desired Registry (HDA).  Other relevant
   information and possibly personally identifiable information needed
   may also be required to be sent to the Registry (all over a secure
   channel - the method of which is out of scope for this document).

   The Registry cross checks any personally identifiable information as
   required.  Certificate: Operator on Operator is verified (both using
   the expiration timestamp and signature).  The HHIT is searched in the
   Registries database to confirm that no collision occurs.  A new

   certificate is generated (Certificate: Registry on Operator) and sent
   securely back to the Operator.  Optionally the HHIT/HI pairing can be
   added to the Registries DNS in to form of a HIP Resource Record (RR).
   Other RRs, such as CERT and TXT, may also be used to hold public
   information.

   With the receipt of Certificate: Registry on Operator the
   provisioning of an Operator is complete.

   Through mechanisms not specified in this document the Aircraft should
   have methods to instruct the Aircrafts onboard systems to generate a
   keypair and certificate.  This certificate is chained to the factory
   provisioned certificate (Certificate: Aircraft 0 on Aircraft 0).
   This new certificate (Certificate: Aircraft 0 on Aircraft N) is
   securely extracted by the Operator.

   With Certificate: Aircraft 0 on Aircraft N the sub certificate
   (Certificate: Aircraft N on Aircraft N) is used by the Operator to
   generate Certificate: Operator on Aircraft N.  This certificate along
   with Certificate: Registry on Operator is sent to the Registry.

   Upon receipt of this token, the Operator injects it into the Aircraft
   and its used to form a secure connection to the Registry.  The
   Aircraft then sends Certificate: Manufacturer on Aircraft 0 and

   The Registry uses Certificate: Manufacturer on Aircraft 0 (with an
   external database if supported) to confirm the validity of the
   Aircraft.  Certificate: Aircraft 0 on Aircraft N is correlated with
   Certificate: Operator on Aircraft N and Certificate: Manufacturer on
   Aircraft 0 to see the chain of ownership.  The new HHIT tied to
   Aircraft N is then checked for collisions in the HDA.  With the
   information the Registry generates two certificates: Certificate:
   Registry on Operator on Aircraft N and Certificate: Registry on
   Aircraft N.  A HIP RR (and other RR types as needed) are generated
   and inserted into the HDA.

   Certificate: Registry on Operator on Aircraft N is sent via a secure
   channel back to the Operator to be stored.  Certificate: Registry on
   Aircraft N is sent to the Aircraft to be used in Broadcast RID.

4.5.2.  Operator Assisted Provisioning

   This provisioning scheme is for when the Aircraft is unable to
   connect to the Registry itself or does not have the hardware required
   to generate keypairs and certificates.

             +----------+
             | Registry |
             +----------+

             +----------+                        +----------+
             | Operator | ---------------------> | Aircraft |
             +----------+       aN, CaNaN        +----------+

               Figure 8: Operator Assisted Provision: Step 1

   To start the Operator generates on behalf of the Aircraft a new
   keypair and Certificate: Aircraft N on Aircraft N.  This keypair and
   certificate are injected into the Aircraft for it to generate
   Certificate: Aircraft 0 on Aircraft N.  After injecting the keypair
   and certificate, the Operator MUST destroy all copies of the keypair.

               Figure 10: Operator Assisted Provision: Step 3

   On the Registry validation checks are done on all certificates as per
   the previous sections.  Once complete then the Registry checks for a
   HHIT collision, adding to the HDA if clear and generates Certificate:
   Registry on Operator on Aircraft N and Certificate: Registry on
   Aircraft N.  Both are sent back to the Operator.

   The Operator securely inject Certificate: Registry on Aircraft N and
   securely stores Certificate: Registry on Operator on Aircraft N.

4.5.3.  Initial Provisioning

   A special form of provisioning is used when the Aircraft is first
   sold to an Operator.  Instead of generating a new keypair, the built
   in keypair and certificate done by the Manufacturer is used to
   provision and register the aircraft to the owner.

   For this either Standard or Operator Assisted methods can be used.

5.  Security Considerations

   A major consideration is the optimization done in Certificate:
   Registry on Aircraft to get its length down to 200 bytes.  The
   truncation of Certificate: HDA on HDA down to just its HHIT is one
   that could be used against the system to act as a false Registry.
   For this to occur an attacker would need to find a hash collision on
   that Registry HHIT and then manage to spoof all of DNS being used in
   the system.

   The authors believe that the probability of such an attack is low
   when Registry operators are using best practices in security.  If
   such an attack can occur (especially in the time frame of "one-time
   use IDs") then there are more serious issues present in the system.
