1. Introduction
This document defines a mechanism called “RPKI validated cache Update
in SLURM [RFC 8416] over HTTPs (RUSH)”, for the use of SLURM in
updating RPKI cache data over HTTP [RFC7540] using HTTPs [RFC2818]
URIs (and therefore TLS [RFC8446] security for integrity and
confidentiality). Integration with HTTPs provides a secure transport
for distributing cache data, which is in alignment with SLURM file
format in order to take advantage of using one same API for a cache
server to do both remote update and local override.
The RPKI validated cache in this document refers to the validated
data of assertion information certified by corresponding RPKI signed
objects such as ROA [RFC6482] and BGPsec router certificate
[RFC8209], which are transferred from the RPKI cache server to
routers by RTR protocol [RFC8210] for the use of the RPKI. SLURM
offers a standardized method for describing RPKI cache data in JSON
format [RFC8259], and SLURM is designed to carry out incremental
update.

Note that RUSH merely focuses on a standardized transport and data
format of the RPKI cache data. RUSH has nothing to do with
synchronization at the RUSH end system, that is, more sophisticated
functions such as automatic re-synchronization and access control is
out of this scope and MAY be left to private implementation.
2. 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.
3. RUSH Usecase
• Cache Distribution
RUSH can be used to distribute a RPKI validated cache within a single
ASN or network, for example a confederation composed of a number of
ASes. A small site or enterprise network MAY also use RUSH by
synchronizing with a third-party RPKI cache provider over external
networks.
• Local Control over Networks
Network operators MAY want to inject SLURM Assertions/Filters via an
API offered by RPKI validator/cache. RUSH is therefore able to carry
out such local control signals inside an administrative bailiwick in
a secure manner.
• Private Assertions Within IXP Members
IXP members MAY peer with one another by exchanging private IP
address or private AS numbers, where the very IXP operator assumes
the responsibility of coordinating the INR assignment within its
bailiwick of local peering. This scenario calls for a mechanism of
distributing those local assertions expressed in SLURM file from this
IXP operator to relying parties systems deployed by IXP members in
question in alignment with RPKI validation.
To summarize, RUSH MUST be used in scenarios where the authenticity
of SLURM files can be assured when carried over multiple
administrative domains. Alternatively, RUSH SHOULD be used inside an
administrative domain to provide extra security by the virtue of pre-
configured trust anchors.

4. RUSH Operations
4.1. Use of SLURM
RUSH uses SLURM file format to indicate the intended update. A SLURM
file consists of a single JSON object containing some members. Among
others, "validationOutputFilters" [Section 3.3 of [RFC8416]] and
"locallyAddedAssertions" [Section 3.4 of [RFC8416]] are defined to
describe actions of deleting some of existing data items and adding
new data items respectively.
Note that RUSH re-uses the JSON members of SLURM object, not implying
the very actions are taken locally to any extent. Typically, RUSH
takes place over networks remotely while take effects to the cache in
question locally.
The RUSH-aware HTTPs server/client MUST be prepared to parse SLURM
object.
4.2. Use of HTTPs as Transport
HTTPs is employed by RUSH to transfer RPKI validated cache update
information as expressed as a SLURM object. A new data type is
therefore defined to identify SLURM object in HTTPs message body.
The RUSH-aware HTTPs server/client MUST be prepared to process media
type "application/json-slurm".
4.3. RUSH Example
Figure 1 shows an example of using RUSH to carry out RPKI validated
cache by HTTP POST method.

6. Security Considerations
Note that RPKI offers signed-object-oriented security, which is not
provided by RUSH any longer. There are some security issues must be
handled properly as per different usecases as described in Section 3.
Cache Identity: RUSH is designed to carry out RPKI cache data update
from one to another, with out-of-band trust established between those
cache servers. That is, the scope of RUSH usage is convergent.
Cache subscription management might be employed to implement cache

Internet-Draft RPKI Update in SLURM over HTTPs April 2023
identification and verification. The RPKI cache server security and
the trust model for the interaction between cache servers is out of
the scope of this document.
Transport Security: Updating RPKI validated cache over HTTPs relies
on the security of the underlying HTTPs transport. Implementations
utilizing HTTP/2 benefit from the TLS profile defined in Section 9.2
of [RFC7540].
Data Integrity: An HTTPS connection provides transport security for
the interaction between cache servers, but it does not provide data
integrity detection. An adversary that can control the cache used by
the subscriber can affect that subscriber's view of the RPKI.
