RFC 8208 BGPsec Algs, Key & Signature Formats September 2017
1. Introduction
This document specifies the following:
o the digital signature algorithm and parameters,
o the hash algorithm and parameters,
o the public and private key formats, and
o the signature formats
used by Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) Certification
Authorities (CAs) and BGPsec (Border Gateway Protocol Security)
speakers (i.e., routers). CAs use these algorithms when processing
requests for BGPsec Router Certificates [RFC8209]. Examples of when
BGPsec routers use these algorithms include requesting BGPsec
certificates [RFC8209], signing BGPsec UPDATE messages [RFC8205], and
verifying signatures on BGPsec UPDATE messages [RFC8205].
This document updates [RFC7935] to add support for a) a different
algorithm for BGPsec certificate requests, which are issued only by
BGPsec speakers; b) a different Subject Public Key Info format for
BGPsec certificates, which is needed for the specified BGPsec
signature algorithm; and c) different signature formats for BGPsec
signatures, which are needed for the specified BGPsec signature
algorithm. The BGPsec certificates are differentiated from other
RPKI certificates by the use of the BGPsec Extended Key Usage as
defined in [RFC8209]. BGPsec uses a different algorithm [RFC6090]
[DSS] as compared to the rest of the RPKI to minimize the size of the
protocol exchanged between routers.
Appendix A contains example BGPsec UPDATE messages as well as the
private keys used to generate the messages and the certificates
necessary to validate the signatures.
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.

RFC 8208 BGPsec Algs, Key & Signature Formats September 2017
2. Algorithms
The algorithms used to compute signatures on CA certificates, BGPsec
Router Certificates, and Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) are as
specified in Section 2 of [RFC7935]. This section addresses BGPsec
algorithms; for example, these algorithms are used by BGPsec routers
to request BGPsec certificates, by RPKI CAs to verify BGPsec
certification requests, by BGPsec routers to generate BGPsec UPDATE
messages, and by BGPsec routers to verify BGPsec UPDATE messages:
o The signature algorithm used MUST be the Elliptic Curve Digital
Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) with curve P-256 [RFC6090] [DSS].
o The hash algorithm used MUST be SHA-256 [SHS].
Hash algorithms are not identified by themselves in certificates or
BGPsec UPDATE messages. They are represented by an OID that combines
the hash algorithm with the digital signature algorithm as follows:
o The ecdsa-with-SHA256 OID [RFC5480] MUST appear in the Public-Key
Cryptography Standards #10 (PKCS #10) signatureAlgorithm field
[RFC2986] or in the Certificate Request Message Format (CRMF)
POPOSigningKey algorithm field [RFC4211]; where the OID is placed
depends on the certificate request format generated.
o In BGPsec UPDATE messages, the ECDSA with SHA-256 algorithm suite
identifier value 0x1 (see Section 7) is included in the
Signature_Block List's Algorithm Suite Identifier field.
3. Asymmetric Key Pair Formats
The key formats used to compute signatures on CA certificates, BGPsec
Router Certificates, and CRLs are as specified in Section 3 of
[RFC7935]. This section addresses key formats found in the BGPsec
Router Certificate requests and in BGPsec Router Certificates.
The ECDSA private keys used to compute signatures for certificate
requests and BGPsec UPDATE messages MUST come from the P-256 curve
[RFC5480]. The public key pair MUST use the uncompressed form.
Turner & Borchert Standards Track [Page 4]
RFC 8208 BGPsec Algs, Key & Signature Formats September 2017
3.1. Public Key Format
The Subject's public key is included in subjectPublicKeyInfo
[RFC5280]. It has two sub-fields: algorithm and subjectPublicKey.
The values for the structures and their sub-structures follow:
o algorithm (an AlgorithmIdentifier type): The id-ecPublicKey OID
MUST be used in the algorithm field, as specified in Section 2.1.1
of [RFC5480]. The value for the associated parameters MUST be
secp256r1, as specified in Section 2.1.1.1 of [RFC5480].
o subjectPublicKey: ECPoint MUST be used to encode the certificate's
subjectPublicKey field, as specified in Section 2.2 of [RFC5480].
3.2. Private Key Format
Local policy determines private key format.
4. Signature Formats
The structure for the certificate's and CRL's signature field MUST be
as specified in Section 4 of [RFC7935]; this is the same format used
by other RPKI certificates. The structure for the certification
request's and BGPsec UPDATE message's signature field MUST be as
specified in Section 2.2.3 of [RFC3279].
5. Additional Requirements
It is anticipated that BGPsec will require the adoption of updated
key sizes and a different set of signature and hash algorithms over
time, in order to maintain an acceptable level of cryptographic
security. This profile should be updated to specify such future
requirements, when appropriate.
The recommended procedures to implement such a transition of key
sizes and algorithms are specified in [RFC6916].
6. Security Considerations
The security considerations of [RFC3279], [RFC5480], [RFC6090],
[RFC7935], and [RFC8209] apply to certificates. The security
considerations of [RFC3279], [RFC6090], [RFC7935], and [RFC8209]
apply to certification requests. The security considerations of
[RFC3279], [RFC6090], and [RFC8205] apply to BGPsec UPDATE messages.
No new security considerations are introduced as a result of this
specification.
Turner & Borchert Standards Track [Page 5]
RFC 8208 BGPsec Algs, Key & Signature Formats September 2017
7. IANA Considerations
The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has created the
"BGPsec Algorithm Suite Registry" in the Resource Public Key
Infrastructure (RPKI) group. The one-octet "BGPsec Algorithm Suite
Registry" identifiers assigned by IANA identify the digest algorithm
and signature algorithm used in the BGPsec Signature_Block List's
Algorithm Suite Identifier field.
IANA has registered a single algorithm suite identifier for the
digest algorithm SHA-256 [SHS] and for the signature algorithm ECDSA
on the P-256 curve [RFC6090] [DSS].
BGPsec Algorithm Suite Registry
Algorithm Digest Signature Specification
Suite Algorithm Algorithm Pointer

+------------+------------+-------------+-----------------------+
| 0x0 | Reserved | Reserved | This document |

| 0x2-0xEF | Unassigned | Unassigned | |
+------------+------------+-------------+-----------------------+
| 0xFF | Reserved | Reserved | This document |
+------------+------------+-------------+-----------------------+
Future assignments are to be made using the Standards Action process
defined in [RFC8126]. Assignments consist of the one-octet algorithm
suite identifier value and the associated digest algorithm name and
signature algorithm name.
