Abstract

   The Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) is a global
   authorization infrastructure that allows the holder of Internet
   Number Resources (INRs) to make verifiable statements about those
   resources.  Network operators, e.g., Internet Service Providers
   (ISPs), can use the RPKI to validate BGP route origin assertions.
   ISPs can also use the RPKI to validate the path of a BGP route.
   However, ISPs may want to establish a local view of exceptions to the
   RPKI data in the form of local filters and additions.  The mechanisms
   described in this document provide a simple way to enable INR holders
   to establish a local, customized view of the RPKI, overriding global
   RPKI repository data as needed.

1.  Introduction

   The Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) is a global
   authorization infrastructure that allows the holder of Internet
   Number Resources (INRs) to make verifiable statements about those
   resources.  For example, the holder of a block of IP(v4 or v6)
   addresses can issue a Route Origin Authorization (ROA) [RFC6482] to
   authorize an Autonomous System (AS) to originate routes for that
   block.  Internet Service Providers (ISPs) can then use the RPKI to
   validate BGP routes.  (Validation of the origin of a route is
   described in [RFC6811], and validation of the path of a route is
   described in [RFC8205].)

   However, an "RPKI relying party" RPKI Relying Party (RP) may want to override some of the
   information expressed via configured Trust Anchors (TAs) and the
   certificates downloaded from the RPKI repository system.  For
   instances,
   instance, [RFC6491] recommends the creation of ROAs that would
   invalidate public routes for reserved and unallocated address space,
   yet some ISPs might like to use BGP and the RPKI with private address
   space ([RFC1918], (see [RFC1918], [RFC4193], and [RFC6598]) or private AS numbers
   ([RFC1930],
   (see [RFC1930] and [RFC6996]).  Local use of private address space
   and/or AS numbers is consistent with the RFCs cited above, but such
   use cannot be verified by the global RPKI.  This motivates creation
   of mechanisms that enable a network operator to publish publish, at its
   discretion, an exception to the RPKI in the form of filters and
   additions (for its own use and that of its customers) at its discretion. customers).  Additionally,
   a network operator might wish to make use of a local override
   capability to protect routes from adverse actions [RFC8211], until
   the results of such actions have been addressed.  The mechanisms
   developed to provide this capability to network operators are hereby
   called
   Simplified "Simplified Local internet nUmber Internet Number Resource Management with the
   RPKI
   (SLURM). (SLURM)".

   SLURM allows an operator to create a local view of the global RPKI by
   generating sets of assertions.  For Origin Validation origin validation [RFC6811], an
   assertion is a tuple of {IP prefix, prefix length, maximum length, AS
   number
   Autonomous System Number (ASN)} as used by rpki-rtr (the RPKI to Router Protocol) the RPKI-Router protocol,
   version 0 [RFC6810] and rpki-rtr version 1 [RFC8210].  For BGPsec [RFC8205],
   an assertion is a tuple of {ASN, subject key identifier, router
   public key} as used by rpki-rtr version 1. 1 of the RPKI-Router protocol.  (For
   the remainder of this document, these assertions are called ROA "ROA
   Prefix Assertions Assertions" and BGPsec Assertions, "BGPsec Assertions", respectively.)

1.1.  Terminology

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT","REQUIRED", 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.  RP with SLURM

   SLURM provides a simple way to enable an RP to establish a local,
   customized view of the RPKI, by overriding RPKI repository data if
   needed.  To that end, an RP with SLURM filters out (removes (i.e., removes
   from consideration for routing decisions) any assertions in the RPKI
   that are overridden by local ROA Prefix Assertions and BGPsec
   Assertions.

   In general, the primary output of an RP is the data it sends to
   routers over the rpki-rtr RPKI-Router protocol [RFC8210].  The rpki-rtr RPKI-Router
   protocol enables routers to query an RP for all assertions it knows
   about (Reset Query) or for an update of only the changes in
   assertions (Serial Query).  The mechanisms specified in this document
   are to be applied to the result set for a Reset Query, Query and to both the
   old and new sets that are compared for a Serial Query.  RP software
   may modify other forms of output in comparable ways, but that is
   outside the scope of this document.

3.  SLURM File Files and Mechanisms

3.1.  Use of JSON

   SLURM filters and assertions are specified in JSON [RFC8259] format. format [RFC8259].
   JSON members that are not defined here MUST NOT be used in SLURM
   Files.
   files.  An RP MUST consider any deviations from the specification specifications to
   be errors.  Future additions to the specifications in this document
   MUST use an incremented value for the "slurmVersion" member.

3.2.  SLURM File Overview

   A SLURM file consists of a single JSON object containing the
   following members:

   o  A "slurmVersion" member that MUST be set to 1, encoded as a number

   o  A "validationOutputFilters" member (Section 3.3), whose value is
      an object.  The object MUST contain exactly two members:

      *  A "prefixFilters" member, whose value is described in
         Section 3.3.1.

      *  A "bgpsecFilters" member, whose value is described in
         Section 3.3.2.

   o  A "locallyAddedAssertions" member (Section 3.4), whose value is an
      object.  The object MUST contain exactly two members:

      *  A "prefixAssertions" member, whose value is described in
         Section 3.4.1.

      *  A "bgpsecAssertions" member, whose value is described in
         Section 3.4.2.

   In the envisioned typical use case, an RP uses both Validation Output
   Filters and Locally Added Assertions.  In this case, the resulting
   assertions MUST be the same as if output filtering were performed
   before locally adding assertions.  i.e.  locally added assertions assertions; that is, Locally Added Assertions
   MUST NOT be removed by output filtering.

   The following JSON structure with JSON members represents a SLURM
   file that has no filters or assertions:

   {
     "slurmVersion": 1,
     "validationOutputFilters": {
       "prefixFilters": [],
       "bgpsecFilters": []
     },
     "locallyAddedAssertions": {
       "prefixAssertions": [],
       "bgpsecAssertions": []
     }
   }

                        Figure 2: Empty SLURM File

3.3.  Validation Output Filters

3.3.1.  Validated ROA Prefix Filters

   The RP can configure zero or more Validated ROA Prefix Filters
   (Prefix Filters in
   ("Prefix Filters" for short).  Each Prefix Filter can contain either
   an IPv4 or IPv6 prefix and/or an ASN.  It is RECOMMENDED that an
   explanatory comment is included with each Prefix Filter, Filter so that it
   can be shown to users of the RP software.

   The above is expressed as a value of the "prefixFilters" member, as
   an array of zero or more objects.  Each object MUST contain either 1)
   one of
   either, the following members or 2) one of each of both the following members:
   members.

   o  A "prefix" member, whose value is a string representing either an
      IPv4 prefix (Section (see Section 3.1 of [RFC4632]) or an IPv6 prefix
      ([RFC5952]). (see
      [RFC5952]).

   o  An "asn" member, whose value is a number.

   In addition, each object MAY contain one optional "comment" member,
   whose value is a string.

   The following example JSON structure represents a "prefixFilters"
   member with an array of example objects for each use case listed
   above:

           "prefixFilters": [
             {
               "prefix": "192.0.2.0/24",
               "comment": "All VRPs encompassed by prefix"
             },
             {
               "asn": 64496,
               "comment": "All VRPs matching ASN"
             },
             {
               "prefix": "198.51.100.0/24",
               "asn": 64497,
               "comment": "All VRPs encompassed by prefix, matching ASN"
             }
           ]

                          prefixFilters examples

                    Figure 3: "prefixFilters" Examples

   Any Validated ROA Prefix (VRP, [RFC6811]) Payload (VRP) [RFC6811] that matches any configured
   Prefix Filter MUST be removed from the RP's output.

   A VRP is considered to match with a Prefix Filter if one of the
   following cases applies:

   1.  If the Prefix Filter only contains an IPv4 or IPv6 Prefix only, prefix, the
       VRP is considered to match the filter if the VRP prefix is equal
       to or covered by the Prefix Filter prefix.

   2.  If the Prefix Filter only contains an ASN only, ASN, the VRP is considered
       to match the filter if the VRP ASN matches the Prefix Filter ASN.

   3.  If the Prefix Filter contains both an IPv4 or IPv6 prefix and an
       ASN, the VRP is considered to match if the VRP prefix is equal to
       or covered by the Prefix Filter prefix and the VRP ASN matches
       the Prefix Filter ASN.

3.3.2.  BGPsec Assertion Filters

   The RP can configure zero or more BGPsec Assertion Filters (BGPsec
   Filters in ("BGPsec
   Filters" for short).  Each BGPsec Filter can contain an ASN and/or
   the Base64 [RFC4648] encoding of a Router Subject Key Identifier
   (SKI), as described in [RFC8209] and [RFC6487].  It is RECOMMENDED
   that an explanatory comment is also included with each BGPSec BGPsec Filter,
   so that it can be shown to users of the RP software.

   The above is expressed as a value of the "bgpsecFilters" member, as
   an array of zero or more objects.  Each object MUST contain one of
   either, or one each of both following members:

   o  An "asn" member, whose value is a number

   o  An "SKI" member, whose value is the Base64 encoding without
      trailing '=' (Section 5 of [RFC4648]) of the certificate's Subject
      Public
      Key Identifier as described in Section 4.8.2. 4.8.2 of [RFC6487] [RFC6487].  (This
      is the value of the ASN.1 OCTET STRING without the ASN.1 tag or
      length fields.)

   In addition, each object MAY contain one optional "comment" member,
   whose value is a string.

   The following example JSON structure represents a "bgpsecFilters"
   member with an array of example objects for each use case listed
   above:

           "bgpsecFilters": [
             {
               "asn": 64496,
               "comment": "All keys for ASN"
             },
             {
               "SKI": "<Base 64 of some SKI>",
               "comment": "Key matching Router SKI"
             },
             {
               "asn": 64497,
               "SKI": "<Base 64 of some SKI>",
               "comment": "Key for ASN 64497 matching Router SKI"
             }
           ]

                          bgpsecFilters examples

                    Figure 4: "bgpsecFilters" Examples
   Any BGPsec Assertion that matches any configured BGPsec Filter MUST
   be removed from the RP's output.  A BGPsec Assertion is considered to
   match with a BGPsec Filter if one of the following cases applies:

   1.  If the BGPsec Filter only contains an ASN only, ASN, a BGPsec Assertion is
       considered to match if the Assertion ASN matches the Filter ASN.

   2.  If the BGPsec Filter only contains an SKI only, SKI, a BGPsec Assertion is
       considered to match if the Assertion Router SKI matches the
       Filter SKI.

   3.  If the BGPsec Filter contains both an ASN and a Router SKI, then
       a BGPsec Assertion is considered to match if both the Assertion
       ASN matches the Filter ASN and the Assertion Router SKI matches
       the Filter Router SKI.

3.4.  Locally Added Assertions

3.4.1.  ROA Prefix Assertions

   Each RP is locally configured with a (possibly empty) array of ROA
   Prefix Assertions (Prefix Assertion in ("Prefix Assertions" for short).  Each ROA Prefix
   Assertion MUST contain an IPv4 or IPv6 prefix and an ASN.  It MAY
   include a value for the maximum length.  It is RECOMMENDED that an
   explanatory comment is also included with each, each so that it can be
   shown to users ofthe of the RP software.

   The above is expressed as a value of the "prefixAssertions" member,
   as an array of zero or more objects.  Each object MUST contain one of
   each of both the following members:

   o  A "prefix" member, whose value is a string representing either an
      IPv4 prefix (Section (see Section 3.1 of [RFC4632]) or an IPv6 prefix
      ([RFC5952]). (see
      [RFC5952]).

   o  An "asn" member, whose value is a number.

   In addition, each object MAY contain one of each of the following
   members:

   o  A "maxPrefixLength" member, whose value is a number.

   o  A "comment" member, whose value is a string.

   The following example JSON structure represents a "prefixAssertions"
   member with an array of example objects for each use case listed
   above:

     "prefixAssertions": [
       {
         "asn": 64496,
         "prefix": "198.51.100.0/24",
         "comment": "My other important route"
       },
       {
         "asn": 64496,
         "prefix": "2001:DB8::/32",
         "maxPrefixLength": 48,
         "comment": "My other important de-aggregated routes"
       }
     ]

                         prefixAssertions examples

                   Figure 5: "prefixAssertions" Examples

   Note that the combination of the prefix, ASN ASN, and optional maximum
   length describes a VRP as described in [RFC6811].  The RP MUST add
   all Prefix Assertions found this way to the VRP found through RPKI
   validation,
   validation and ensure that it sends the complete set of PDUs, Protocol Data
   Units (PDUs), excluding duplicates when using the rpki-rtr protocol, see
   Section RPKI-Router
   protocol (see Sections 5.6 and 5.7 of [RFC8210]. [RFC8210]).

3.4.2.  BGPsec Assertions

   Each RP is locally configured with a (possibly empty) array of BGPsec
   Assertions.  Each BGPsec Assertion MUST contain an AS number, a
   Router SKI, and the Router Public Key. router public key.  It is RECOMMENDED that an
   explanatory comment is also included, included so that it can be shown to users
   of the RP software.

   The above is expressed as a value of the "bgpsecAssertions" member,
   as an array of zero or more objects.  Each object MUST contain one
   each of all of the following members:

   o  An "asn" member, whose value is a number.

   o  An "SKI" member, whose value is the Base64 encoding without
      trailing '=' (Section 5 of RFC4648 ) [RFC4648]) of the router's public key
      equivalent to a certificate's Subject Public
      Key Identifier as described in Section 4.8.2. 4.8.2 of [RFC6487].  This [RFC6487] (This is
      the value of the ASN.1 OCTET STRING without the ASN.1 tag or
      length fields. fields.)

   o  A "routerPublicKey" member, whose value is is the Base64 encoding
      without trailing '=' (Section 5 of [RFC4648]) of the equivalent to
      a
      the subjectPublicKeyInfo value of the router certificate's public key's subjectPublicKeyInfo value,
      key, as described in [RFC8208].  This is the full ASN.1 DER
      encoding of the subjectPublicKeyInfo, including the ASN.1 tag and
      length values of the subjectPublicKeyInfo SEQUENCE.

   The following example JSON structure represents an array of a "bgpsecAssertions"
   member with one element object as described above:

     "bgpsecAssertions": [
       {
         "asn": 64496,
         "SKI": "<some base64 SKI>",
         "publicKey":
         "routerPublicKey": "<some base64 public key>",
         "comment": "My known key for my important ASN"
       }
     ]

                         bgpsecAssertions examples

                   Figure 6: "bgpsecAssertions" Examples

   Note that a bgpsecAssertion "bgpsecAssertions" member matches the syntax of the
   Router Key PDU described in section Section 5.10 of [RFC8210].  Relying
   Parties MUST add any
   bgpsecAssertion "bgpsecAssertions" member thus found to the set
   of Router Key PDUs, excluding duplicates, when using the RPKI-RTR RPKI-Router
   protocol [RFC8210].

4.  SLURM File Configuration

4.1.  SLURM File Atomicity

   To ensure local consistency, the effect of SLURM MUST be atomic.
   That is, the output of the RP either MUST be either the same as if a SLURM
   file were not used, used or it MUST reflect the entire SLURM configuration.

   For an example of why this is required, consider the case of two
   local routes for the same prefix but different origin ASNs.  Both
   routes are configured with Locally Added Assertions.  If neither
   addition occurs, then both routes could be in the unknown NotFound state
   [RFC6811].  If both additions occur occur, then both routes would be in the valid
   Valid state.  However, if one addition occurs and the other does not,
   then one could be invalid Invalid while the other is valid. Valid.

4.2.  Multiple SLURM Files

   An implementation MAY support the concurrent use of multiple SLURM
   files.  In this case, the resulting inputs to Validation Output
   Filters and Locally Added Assertions are the respective unions of the
   inputs from each file.  The envisioned typical use case for multiple
   files is when the files have distinct scopes.  For instance,
   operators of two distinct networks may resort to one RP system to
   frame routing decisions.  As such, they probably deliver SLURM files
   to this RP respectively. independently.  Before an RP configures SLURM files from
   different sources sources, it MUST make sure there is no internal conflict
   among the INR assertions in these SLURM files.  To do so, the RP
   SHOULD check the entries of each SLURM file with regard to overlaps
   of the INR assertions and report errors to the sources that created these
   the SLURM files in question.  The RP gets multiple SLURM files as a
   set, and the whole set MUST be rejected in case of any overlaps among
   the SLURM files.

   If a problem is detected with the INR assertions in these SLURM
   files, the RP MUST NOT use them, them and SHOULD issue a warning as error
   report in the following cases:

   1.  There may be conflicting changes to ROA Prefix Assertions if
          there exists an
       IP address X and distinct SLURM files Y, Y and Z exist such that X
       is contained by any prefix in any
          <prefixAssertions> "prefixAssertions" or <prefixFilters>
       "prefixFilters" in file Y and X is contained by any prefix in any <prefixAssertions>
       "prefixAssertions" or
          <prefixFilters> "prefixFilters" in file Z.

   2.  There may be conflicting changes to BGPsec Assertions if there
          exists an ASN X
       and distinct SLURM files Y, Y and Z exist such that X is used in any <bgpsecAssertions>
       "bgpsecAssertions" or <bgpsecFilters> "bgpsecFilters" in file Y and X is used in
       any <bgpsecAssertions> "bgpsecAssertions" or <bgpsecFilters> "bgpsecFilters" in file Z.

5.  IANA Considerations

   None

   This document has no IANA actions.

6.  Security Considerations

   The mechanisms described in this document provide a network operator
   with additional ways to control use of RPKI data while preserving
   autonomy in address space and ASN management.  These mechanisms are
   applied
   only applied locally; they do not influence how other network
   operators interpret RPKI data.  Nonetheless, care should be taken in
   how these mechanisms are employed.  Note that it also is possible to
   use SLURM to (locally) manipulate assertions about non-private INRs,
   e.g., allocated address space that is globally routed.  For example,
   a SLURM file may be used to override RPKI data that a network
   operator believes has been corrupted by an adverse action.  Network
   operators who elect to use SLURM in this fashion should use extreme
   caution.

   The goal of the mechanisms described in this document is to enable an
   RP to create its own view of the RPKI, which is intrinsically a
   security function.  An RP using a SLURM file is trusting the
   assertions made in that file.  Errors in the SLURM file used by an RP
   can undermine the security offered by the RPKI, to that RP.  It RP by the RPKI.  A SLURM
   file could declare as invalid ROAs that would otherwise be valid, and
   vice versa.  As a result, an RP MUST carefully consider the security
   implications of the SLURM file being used, especially if the file is
   provided by a third party.

   Additionally, each RP using SLURM MUST ensure the authenticity and
   integrity of any SLURM file that it uses.  Initially, the SLURM file
   may be pre-configured preconfigured out of band, but if the RP updates its SLURM
   file over the network, it MUST verify the authenticity and integrity
   of the updated SLURM file.  Yet the  The mechanism to update the SLURM file to
   guarantee authenticity and integrity is out of the scope of this
   document.
