DRIP Entity Tag Registration & Lookup
draft-ietf-drip-registries-03
Abstract
This document creates the DRIP DET registration and discovery
ecosystem. This includes all components in the ecosystem (e.g., RAA,
HDA, UA, GCS, USS). The registration process will use the Extensible
Provisioning Protocol (EPP) and other protocols. The discovery
process will leverage DNS and DNSSEC and related technology. The
DETs can be registered with as their "raw public keys" or in X.509
certificates.

Internet-Draft registries May 2022
1. Introduction
Registries are fundamental to RID. Only very limited information can
be Broadcast, but extended information is sometimes needed. The most
essential element of information sent is the UAS ID itself, the
unique key for lookup of extended information in registries.
While it is expected that registry functions will be integrated with
USS, who will provide them is not yet determined in most, and is
expected to vary between, jurisdictions. However this evolves, the
essential registry functions, starting with management of
identifiers, are expected to remain the same, so are specified
herein.
While most data to be sent via Broadcast or Network RID is public,
much of the extended information in registries will be private. Thus
AAA for registries is essential, not just to ensure that access is
granted only to strongly authenticated, duly authorized parties, but
also to support subsequent attribution of any leaks, audit of who
accessed information when and for what purpose, etc. As specific AAA
requirements will vary by jurisdictional regulation, provider
philosophy, customer demand, etc., they are left to specification in
policies, which should be human readable to facilitate analysis and
discussion, and machine readable to enable automated enforcement,
using a language amenable to both, e.g., XACML.
The intent of the negative and positive access control requirements
on registries is to ensure that no member of the public would be
hindered from accessing public information, while only duly
authorized parties would be enabled to access private information.
Mitigation of Denial of Service attacks and refusal to allow database
mass scraping would be based on those behaviors, not on identity or
role of the party submitting the query per se, but querant identity
information might be gathered (by security systems protecting DRIP
implementations) on such misbehavior.
Registration under DRIP is vital as the worry of collisions in the
hash portion of the DET. Forgery of the DET is still possible, but
including it as a part of a public registration mitigates a lot of
the risk. This document creates the DRIP DET registration and
discovery ecosystem. This includes all components in the ecosystem
(e.g., RAA, HDA, UA, GCS, USS). The registration process will use
the Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP) and other protocols. The
discovery process will leverage DNS and DNSSEC and related
technology. The DETs can be registered with as their "raw public
keys" or in X.509 certificates.

Internet-Draft registries May 2022
1.1. Abstract Process & Reasoning
In DRIP each entity (registry, operator and aircraft) is expected to
generate a full DRIP Entity ID [drip-rid] on the local device their
key is expected to be used. These are registered with a Public
Information Registry within the hierarchy along with whatever data is
required by the cognizant CAA and the registry. Any PII is stored in
a Private Information Registry protected through industry practice
AAA or better. In response, the entity will obtain an attestation or
certificate from the registry proving such registration.
Manufacturers that wish to participate in DRIP should not only
support DRIP as a Session ID type for their aircraft but also
generate a DET then encode it as a Serial Number. This would allow
aircraft under CAA mandates to fly only ID Type 1 (Serial Number)
could still use DRIP and most of its benefits. Even if DRIP is not
supported for Serial Numbers by a Manufacturer it is hoped that they
would still run a registry to store their Serial Numbers and allow
look ups for generic model information. This look up could be
especially helpful in UTM for Situational Awareness when an aircraft
flying with a Serial Number is detected and allow for an aircraft
profile to be displayed.
Operators are registered with a number of registries or their
regional RAA. This acts as a verification check when a user performs
other registration operations; such as provisioning an aircraft with
a new Session ID. It is an open question if an Operator registers to
their CAA (the RAA) or multiple USS's (HDA's). PII of the Operator
would vary based on the CAA they are under and the registry.
Finally aircraft that support using a DET would provision per flight
to a USS, proposing a DET to the registry to generate a binding
between the aircraft (Session ID, Serial Number and Operational
Intent), operator and registry. Aircraft then follow [drip-auth] to
meet various [drip-requirements] during flight.

Under DRIP there 3 classes of registries, with specific variants in
each.

Figure 1: Registry Hierarchy
3.1.1. Root
This is a special registry holding the RAA value of 0 and HDA value
of 0. It delegates out RAA values only to registries that wish to
act as an RAA.
Wiethuechter (Editor), eExpires 12 November 2022 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft registries May 2022
3.1.2. Registered Assigning Authorities
RAA's are the upper hierarchy in DRIP (denoted by a 14-bit field
(16,384 RAAs) of a DET). An RAA is a business or organization that
manages a registry of HDAs (Section 3.1.3). Most are contemplated to
be Civil Aviation Authorities (CAA), such as the Federal Aviation
Authority (FAA), that then delegate HDAs to manage their NAS. This
is does not preclude other entities to operate an RAA if the Root
server allows it.
The ICAO registration process will be available from ICAO. Once ICAO
accepts an RAA, it will assign a number and create a zone delegation
under the uas.icao.int. DNS zone for the RAA.
As HHITs may be used in many different domains, RAA should be
allocated in blocks with consideration on the likely size of a
particular usage. Alternatively, different prefixes can be used to
separate different domains of use of HHITs.
An RAA must provide a set of services to allocate HDAs to
organizations. It must have a public policy on what is necessary to
obtain an HDA. It must maintain a DNS zone minimally for discovering
HID RVS servers. All RAA's use an HDA value of 0 and have their RAA
value delegated to them by the Root.
3.1.2.1. ICAO Registry of Manufacturer's (IRM)
A special RAA that hands out HDA values to participating
Manufacturer's that hold an ICAO Manufacturer Code used in ANSI
CTA2063-A Serial Numbers.
It is holds the RAA value of 1 and HDA value of 0.
3.1.3. Hierarchial HIT Domain Authorities
An HDA may be an ISP or any third party that takes on the business to
provide RVS and other needed services such as those required for HIP-
enabled devices.
The HDA is an 14-bit field (16,384 HDAs per RAA) of a DET assigned by
an RAA. An HDA should maintain a set of RVS servers for UAS clients
that may use HIP. How this is done and scales to the potentially
millions of customers are outside the scope of this document. This
service should be discoverable through the DNS zone maintained by the
HDA's RAA.
Wiethuechter (Editor), eExpires 12 November 2022 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft registries May 2022
An RAA may assign a block of values to an individual organization.
This is completely up to the individual RAA's published policy for
delegation. Such policy is out of scope.
3.1.3.1. Manufacturer's Registry of Aircraft (MRA)
A registry (HDA) run by a manufacturer of UAS systems that
participate in Remote ID. Stores UAS Serial Numbers under a specific
ICAO Manufacturer Code (assigned to the manufacturer by ICAO).
A DET can be encoded into a Serial Number (see [drip-rid]) and this
registry would hold a mapping from the Serial Number to the DET and
its artifacts.
Hold RAA value of 1 and HDA values of 1+.
3.1.3.2. Remote ID Registries (RIDR)
Registry that holds the binding between a UAS Session ID (for DRIP
the DET) and the UA Serial Number. The Serial Number MUST have its
access protected to allow only authorized parties to obtain. The
Serial Number SHOULD be encrypted in a way only the authorized party
can decrypt.
As part of the UTM system they also hold a binding between a UAS ID
(Serial Number or Session ID) and an Operational Intent.
Hold RAA values of 2+ and HDA values of 1+.
3.2. Key Rollover & Federation
During key rollover the entity MUST inform all children and parents
of the change - using best standard practices of a key rollover. At
time of writing this is signing over the new key with the previous
key in a secure fashion and it being validated by others before
changing any links (in DRIPs case the NS RRs in the parent registry).
A DET has a natural ability for a single entity to hold different
cryptographic identities under the same HID values. This is due to
the lower 64-bits of the DET being a hash of the public key and the
HID of the DET being generated. As such during key rollover, only
the lower 64-bits would change and a check for a collision would be
required.
This attribute of the DET to have different identities could also
allow for a single registry to be "federated" across them if they
share the same HID value. This method of deployment has not been
thoroughly studied at this time.

Internet-Draft registries May 2022
4. DRIP Fully Qualified Domain Names
Under DRIP there are a number of FQDN forms used to allow lookups to
take place.
The individual DETs may be potentially too numerous (e.g., 60 - 600M)
and dynamic (e.g., new DETs every minute for some HDAs) to store in a
signed, DNS zone. The HDA SHOULD provide DNS service for its zone
and provide the HHIT detail response. A secure connection (e.g., DNS
over TLS) to the authoritative zone may be a viable alternative to
DNSSEC.
4.1. Serial Number
Serial Number: 8653FZ2T7B8RA85D19LX
ICAO Mfr Code: 8653
Length Code: F
ID: FZ2T7B8RA85D19LX
FQDN: Z2T7B8RA85D19LX.F.8653.mfr.uas.icao.int
4.2. DET
The DET reverse lookup can be a standard IPv6 reverse look up, or it
can leverage off the HHIT structure. If we assume a prefix of
2001:30::/28:
DET: 2001:0030:00a0:0145:a3ad:1952:0ad0:a69e
ID: a3ad:1952:0ad0:a69e
OGA: 5
HDA: 0014 = 20
RAA: 000a = 10
Prefix: 20010030
FQDN: a3ad19520ad0a69e.5.20.10.20010030.det.uas.icao.int
When building a DET FQDN the following two things must be done:
1. The RAA and HDA values MUST be converted from hexadecimal to
decimal form
2. The FQDN must be built using the expanded form of the IPv6
address
The prefix is included in the FQDN form to support other potential
prefixes being used.
4.3. Reverse DET

e.9.6.a.0.d.a.0.2.5.9.1.d.a.3.a IN PTR
5. Supported DNS Records
DRIP requires a number of resource records, some specific to certain
registries to function.
5.1. HIP RR
All registries will have their own DET associated with them and their
respective DNS server will hold a HIP RR that is pointed to by their
DET FQDN.
MRA and RIDR servers will also have HIP RRs for their registered
parties (aircraft and operators).
5.2. CERT RR
Most attestations can be placed into DNS. An exception to this is
the Attestation Certificate made during Session ID registration.
This is as this particular certificate acts similar to a car
registration and should be held safe by the operator.
5.3. NS RR
Along with their associated "glue" record (A/AAAA) supports the
traversal in DNS across the tree.
1. <mfr.remoteid.aero> on Root points to specific DET FQDN of IRM
2. <icao_mfr_code>.mfr.remoteid.aero on IRM points to specific DET
FQDN of MRA
3. <raa_value>.det.remoteid.aero on Root pointing to DET FQDN of
matching RAA
4. <hda_value>.<raa_value>.det.remoteid.aero on RAA pointing to DET
FQDN of matching HDA
5.4. AAAA RR
DRIP requires the use of IPv6.
Wiethuechter (Editor), eExpires 12 November 2022 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft registries May 2022
5.5. SVR RR
The SVR RR for DRIP always is populated at the "local" registry
level. That is an HDA's DNS would hold the SVR RR that points to
that HDAs private registry for all data it manages. This data
includes data being stored on its children.
The best example of this is RIDR would have a SVR RR that points to a
database that contains any extra information of a Session ID it has
registered. Another example is the MRA has a SVR RR pointing to
where the metadata of a UA registered in the MRA can be located.
In all cases the server being pointed to MUST be protected using AAA,
specifically using RDAP.
5.6. TLSA RR
This RR is mainly used to support DTLS deployments where the DET is
used in Network RID and the wider UTM system.
6. Registry Operations
As a general rule the following processing performed for any
registration operation:
1. Verify input Attestations from registering party
2. Check for collision of DET and HI
3. Populate DNS with required/optional records
4. Populate Database with PII and other info
5. Generate and return required/optional Attestations/Certificates
6.1. Registering a Registry
DRIP 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 parent and child generate their own keypairs and self-signed
attestations if not generated previously. The child sends to the
parent its self-signed attestation to be added into the parent DNS.
Wiethuechter (Editor), eExpires 12 November 2022 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft registries May 2022
The parent confirms the attestation received is valid and that no DET
collisions occur before adding a NS RR (and CERT RRs) to its DNS for
the new child. An attestation, parent on child, is sent as a
confirmation that provisioning was successful.
The child is now a valid member of the registry tree and uses its
keypair and Self-Attestation with all provisioning requests towards
it. The HIP RR for the child is populated into the local DNS along
with any CERT RRs.

Figure 2: Manufacturer Provision
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 Serial Number for UAS. Under DRIP a DET
can be encoded as such to be able to convert back and forth between
them. This is covered in [drip-rid].
Under DRIP the Manufacturer SHOULD be using DETs and have their own
keypair and Self-Attestation: Manufacturer (SA-m). (Ed. Note: some
words on aircraft keypair and certs here?).
Wiethuechter (Editor), eExpires 12 November 2022 [Page 17]
Internet-Draft registries May 2022
Self-Attestation: Aircraft 0 on Aircraft 0 (SA-a0a0) is extracted by
the manufacturer and sent to their Certificate Authority (CA) to be
verified and added. A resulting attestation (Attestation:
Manufacturer on Aircraft 0 [A-ma0]) SHOULD be a DRIP Attestation -
however this could be a X.509 certificate binding the serial number
to the manufacturer.

Figure 3: Operator Provision
The Operator generates a keypair and DET as specified in DRIP UAS
RID. A self-signed attestation (Self-Attestation: Operator on
Operator [SA-oo]) 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 DET is searched in the
Registries database to confirm that no collision occurs. A new
attestation is generated (Attestation: Registry on Operator) and sent
securely back to the Operator. Optionally the DET/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 Attestation: Registry on Operator (A-ro) the
provisioning of an Operator is complete.

Figure 4: Standard Provision: Step 1
Through mechanisms not specified in this document the Operator should
have methods to instruct the Aircraft onboard systems to generate a
keypair and certificate. This certificate is chained to the factory
provisioned certificate (Self-Attestation: Aircraft 0 on Aircraft 0
[SA-a0a0]). This new attestation (Attestation: Aircraft 0 on
Aircraft N [A-a0aN]) is securely extracted by the Operator.
With A-a0aN the sub-attestation (Self-Attestation: Aircraft N on
Aircraft N [SA-aNaN]) is used by the Operator to generate
Attestation: Operator on Aircraft N (A-oaN). This along with
Attestation: Registry on Operator (A-ro) is sent to the registry.

On the registry, A-ro is verified and used as confirmation that the
Operator is already registered. A-oaN also undergoes a validation
check and used to generate a token to return to the Operator to
continue provisioning.
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 Attestation: Manufacturer on Aircraft 0 (A-ma0)
and Attestation: Aircraft 0 to Aircraft N (A-a0aN).

Figure 6: Standard Provision: Step 3
The registry uses Attestation: Manufacturer on Aircraft 0 (with an
external database if supported) to confirm the validity of the
Aircraft. Attestation: Aircraft 0 on Aircraft N is correlated with
Attestation: Operator on Aircraft N and Attestation: Manufacturer on
Aircraft 0 to see the chain of ownership. The new DET tied to
Aircraft N is then checked for collisions in the HDA. With the
information the registry generates two items: Attestation
Certificate: Registry on Operator on Aircraft N (AC-roaN) and
Broadcast Attestation: Registry on Aircraft N (BA-raN). A HIP RR
(and other RR types as needed) are generated and inserted into the
HDA.
Wiethuechter (Editor), eExpires 12 November 2022 [Page 22]

AC-roaN is sent via a secure channel back to the Operator to be
stored. BA-raN is sent to the Aircraft to be used in Broadcast RID
as specified in [drip-auth].
6.4.2. Operator Assisted Provisioning

keypair and certificate are injected into the Aircraft for it to
generate Attestation: Aircraft 0 on Aircraft N (A-a0aN). After
injecting the keypair and certificate, the Operator MUST destroy all

On the registry validation checks are done on all attestations as per
the previous sections. Once complete then the registry checks for a
DET collision, adding to the HDA if clear and generates Attestation
Certificate: Registry on Operator on Aircraft N (AC-roaN) and
Broadcast Attestation: Registry on Aircraft N (BA-raN). Both are
sent back to the Operator.
The Operator securely inject BA-raN and securely stores AC-roaN of
Aircraft N.
6.4.3. 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.

7.3. EPP Transform Commands
7.3.1. EPP <create> Command
7.3.1.1. Registry
The abbreviation field has a max of 6 characters, and is used by RID
receivers to display a short decoded form for display of a received
DET in the form of {RAA Abbreviation} {HDA Abbreviation} {Last 4 of
DET Hash}. An example of this would be US FAA FE23. If the
abbreviation is unknown then the receiver SHOULD use the hexadecimal
encoding of the respective RAA/HDA field of the HID as the value in
the form. For example if the HDA is unknown and the HDA value is 20
then the decoded display would be: DE 14 FE23. Typically for RAAs
the abbreviation is RECOMMENDED to be set to the ISO 3166 country
code (either Alpha-2 or Alpha-3) for the CAA. Dashes or underscores
should be used in place of spaces.
Wiethuechter (Editor), eExpires 12 November 2022 [Page 25]

The mfrCode field is only used by an MRA (Section 3.1.3.1) when
registering with an IRM (Section 3.1.2.1) and holds the ICAO assigned
Manufacturer Code for ANSI CTA2063-A Serial Numbers. It has a max of

10.1. DET Generation
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 DET, 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 DET to send to the registry to be accepted
(thus generating the required Self-Attestation) or denied.
2 The entity sends to the registry its HI for it to be hashed and
result in the DET. The registry would then either accept
(returning the DET to the device) or deny this pairing.
Wiethuechter (Editor), eExpires 12 November 2022 [Page 31]
Internet-Draft registries May 2022
Keypairs are expected to be generated on the device hardware it will
be used on. Due to hardware limitations (see Section 10) and
connectivity it is acceptable under DRIP to generate keypairs for the
Aircraft on Operator devices and later securely inject them into the
Aircraft (as defined in Section 6.4.2). The methods to securely
inject and store keypair information in a "secure element" of the
Aircraft is out of scope of this document.
In either case the registry must decide on if the HI/DET pairing is
valid. This in its simplest form is checking the current registry
for a collision on the DET and HI.
Upon accepting a HI/DET pair the registry MUST populate the required
the 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 attestations/certificates for the given operation.
If the registry denied the HI/DET pair, because there was a DET
collision or any other reason, the registry MUST signal back to the
device being provisioned that a new HI needs to be generated.

A specific definition of an Attestation (Appendix A.2) or Certificate
(Appendix A.3) defines which of these are used.
A.1.2. Attestation Data
The data being attested to. It can be one of the following forms:
1. Claims
2. Assertions
3. Attestations
This field is variable length with no limit and specific definitions
of an Attestation (Appendix A.2) or Certificate (Appendix A.3)
indicate the fields, size and ordering of any subfields.
A.1.3. Expiration Timestamp
A UTC timestamp set some time into the future to indicate a point the
Attestation Structure should not be trusted.
The time delta into the future is of important concern as replay
attacks on during flight could compromise the goals of DRIP.
Attestations and certificates intended for public use and lower in
the tree (importantly any generated for a Session ID (Section 6.4)).
For this reason deltas SHOULD be kept as short as possible for the
given use-case to avoid issues with replays.
A.1.4. Signing Timestamp
A UTC timestamp set to the time when the Attestation Structure was
signed.
A.1.5. Signature
An EdDSA25519 signature using the signing parties private key over
the preceding fields in the Attestation Structure.
Note: the preceding fields of the Attestation Structure
actually form an Assertion, with all fields acting as Claims

A.4. Abbreviations & File Naming Conventions
The names of attestation and certificates can become quite long and
tedious to write out. As such this section provides a guide to a
somewhat standardized way they are written in text.
Wiethuechter (Editor), eExpires 12 November 2022 [Page 47]
Internet-Draft registries May 2022
A.4.1. In Text Abbreviation
In a long form the name of a particular attestation/certification can
be written as follows:
* Self-Attestation: Unmanned Aircraft
* Attestation: Operator on Aircraft or Attestation: Operator,
Aircraft
* Attestation Certificate: Registry on Operator on Aircraft or
Attestation Certificate: Registry, Operator, Aircraft
When multiple entities are listed they can be separated by either on
or by ,. These long forms can be shortened:
* SA(Unmanned Aircraft) or SA-ua
* A(Operator, Unmanned Aircraft) or A-op.ua
* AC(Registry, Operator, Aircraft) or AC-reg.op.ua
Typical abbreviations for the entity can be used such as Unmanned
Aircraft being shorthanded to ua.
A.4.2. File Naming
For file naming of various certificates a similar format to the short
form is used:
* sa-{hash of entity}
* a-{hash of entity x}_{hash of entity y}
* ac-{hash of entity z}_{hash of entity x}_{hash of entity y}
Some examples of file names:
* sa-79d8a404d48f2ef9.cert
* a-120b8f25b198c1e1_79d8a404d48f2ef9.cert
* ac-aac6b00abba268b7_120b8f25b198c1e1_79d8a404d48f2ef9.cert
Appendix B. X.509 Certificates
Wiethuechter (Editor), eExpires 12 November 2022 [Page 48]
Internet-Draft registries May 2022
B.1. Certificate Policy and Certificate Stores
X.509 certificates are optional for the DRIP entities covered in this
document. DRIP endpoint entities (EE) (i.e., UA, GCS, and Operators)
may benefit from having X.509 certificates. Most of these
certificates will be for their DET and some will be for other UAS
identities. To provide for these certificates, some of the other
entities covered in this document will also have certificates to
create and manage the necessary PKI structure.
Any Certificate Authority (CA) supporting DRIP entities SHOULD adhere
to the ICAO's International Aviation Trust Framework (IATF)
Certificate Policy [ICAO-IATF-CP-draft]. The CA(s) supporting this
CP MUST either be a part of the IATF Bridge PKI or part of the IATF
CA Trust List.
EEs may use their X.509 certificates, rather than their rawPublicKey
(i.e. HI) in authentication protocols (as not all may support
rawPublicKey identities). Some EE HI may not be 'worth' supporting
the overhead of X.509. Short lived DETs like those used for a single
operation or even for a day's operations may not benefit from X.509.
Creating then almost immediately revoking these certificates is a
considerable burden on all parts of the system. Even using a short
notAfterDate will completely mitigate the burden of managing these
certificates. That said, many EEs will benefit to offset the effort.
It may also be a regulator requirement to have these certificates.
Typically an HDA either does or does not issue a certificate for all
its DETs. An RAA may specifically have some HDAs for DETs that do
not want/need certificates and other HDAs for DETs that do need them.
These types of HDAs could be managed by a single entity thus
providing both environments for its customers.
It is recommended that DRIP X.509 certificates be stored as DNS TLSA
Resource Records. This not only generally improves certificate
lookups, but also enables use of DANE [RFC6698] for the various
servers in the UTM and particularly DRIP registry environment and
DANCE [dane-clients] for EEs (e.g. [drip-secure-nrid-c2]). All DRIP
certificates MUST be available via RDAP. LDAP/OCSP access for other
UTM and ICAO uses SHOULD also be provided.
B.2. Certificate Management
(mostly TBD still)
Wiethuechter (Editor), eExpires 12 November 2022 [Page 49]
Internet-Draft registries May 2022
PKIX standard X.509 issuance practices should be used. The
certificate request SHOULD be included in the DET registration
request (Section 6). A successful DET registration then MUST include
certificate creation, store, and return to the DET registrant.
Certificate revocation will parallel DET revocation. TLSA RR MUST be
deleted from DNS and RDAP, LDAP, and OCSP return revoked responses.
CRLs SHOULD be maintained per the CP.
Details of this are left out, as there are a number of approaches and
further research and experience will be needed.
B.3. Examples
TBD
B.4. Alternative Certificate Encoding
(CBOR encoded certs here. TBD)
Appendix C. Blockchain-based Registries
The implementation of the registries and Network Remote
Identification (Network RID; identify a UA through the network) in
DRIP is yet to be determined. Blockchain, being synonymous with
ledger, is a technology that could naturally fulfil the role of a
registry, while simultaneously offering its benefits such as
auditability, persistency and decentralization. We suggest that
blockchain is an ample candidate to be used as registry within DRIP.
We also show that it can be used to effectively leverage Network RID
in certain scenarios. Thus 1) We propose a novel drone ID
architecture based on Hyperledger Iroha and describe its proof-of-
concept implementation with DRIP. 2) Its performance and scalability
is empirically evaluated. 3) We perform an informal security analysis
of the system against various types of attacks [Secure Drone
Identification with Hyperledger Iroha
(https://doi.org/10.1145/3479243.3487305)].
Figure 1: Architecture using blockchain as registry for DRIP
The proposed architecture is presented in Fig. 1. It consists of the
usual actors in a UAS network, along with the blockchain registry
based on Hyperledger Iroha. Key components: o Authorized users
(administrators) can register new UAs to the network, and store with
them any relevant data such as public keys and certificates.
Wiethuechter (Editor), eExpires 12 November 2022 [Page 50]
Internet-Draft registries May 2022
Drones can either send location updates directly to the blockchain,
given that they are connected to the Internet, or send location
updates to their connected Ground Control Station (GCS) that forwards
it on behalf of the drones. o Observers can receive drone messages
either through bluetooth and WiFi broadcasts from drones, or by
polling the blockchain. They can also fetch the public key
associated with a drone in order to validate its messages. o The
blockchain network and its nodes are an entirely separate entity, no
other actor participates in the consensus of new blocks.
Actors within DRIP (except observers) will be registered as accounts
on the blockchain network. Each of these accounts will have their
DRIP identities, certificates and public keys stored and available so
that they can be validated and used for validation by any account on
the blockchain. Note that DRIP crypto key-pairs are separate from
the blockchain crypto key-pairs. DRIP key-pairs are used to sign,
verify and validate DRIP identities and messages, while the
blockchain key-pairs are used to sign, verify and validate
transactions on the blockchain.
The DRIP requirements for a registry are the following: (1) REG-1:
Public lookup (2) REG-2: Private lookup (3) REG-3: Provisioning (of
static/dynamic data of UAs) (4) REG-4: AAA Policy
REG-1 & REG-2. In Hyperledger Iroha, accounts are created on
domains. The same account name can be used for multiple domains, and
these are seen as separate accounts on Iroha. PII for an account can
therefore be stored on a separate account (with the same account
name) existing on a separate domain, that only allows certain
accounts to view its account details. Accordingly, a registry using
Iroha would need at least two domains associated with it for any
given account, one for public lookup and one for private lookup.
REG-3 & REG-4. The details for an account are set with a key/value
pair. Key/value pairs can not be removed once they are set, values
can only be modified through the corresponding key. Furthermore, the
account that sets a key/value pair is included in the account details
as a key/value pair itself, meaning one account can not modify
details set by another account. See Listing 1 for clarification.
Notice that both accounts have set the same key but contain different
values. This sort of implementation supports both non-repudiation,
but also trust in the sense that a drone (assuming the drone is not
compromised) can always trust its own data, and does not have to
interpret data coming from other accounts. Similarly, other accounts
accessing another account's data can trust that it is set by the
corresponding account (e.g. fetching gps data).
