There are end-users who believe encryption technologies like IPSec alone are insufficient to protect the confidentiality of their highly sensitive traffic flows. These end-users want their flows to traverse devices which have been freshly appraised and verified for trustworthiness. This specification describes Trusted Path Routing. Trusted Path Routing protects sensitive flows as they transit a network by forwarding traffic to/from sensitive subnets across network devices recently appraised as trustworthy.¶

There are end-users who believe encryption technologies like IPSec alone are insufficient to protect the confidentiality of their highly sensitive traffic flows. These customers want their highly sensitive flows to be transported over only network devices recently verified as trustworthy.¶
By using a router's embedded TPM based cryptoprocessors in conjunction with the Remote Attestation context established by [I-D.ietf-rats-ar4si], a network provider can identify potentially compromised devices as well as potentially exploitable (or even exploited) vulnerabilities. Using this knowledge, it is then possible to redirect sensitive flows around these devices while other remediations are potentially considered by Network Operations.¶
Trusted Path Routing allows the establishing Trusted Topologies which only include trust-verified network devices. Membership in a Trusted Topology is established and maintained via an exchange of Stamped Passports at the link layer between peering network devices. As links to Attesting Devices are appraised as meeting at least a minimum set of formally defined Trustworthiness Claims, the links are then included as members of this Trusted Topology. Routing protocols are then used to propagate topology state throughout a network.¶
IP Packets to and from end-user designated Sensitive Subnets are then forwarded into this Trusted Topology at each network boundary. This is done by an end user identifying sensitive IP subnets where flows with applications using these IP subnets need enhanced privacy guarantees. Trusted Path Routing passes flows to/from these Sensitive Subnets over a Trusted Topology able to meet these guarantees. The Trusted Topology itself consists of the interconnection of network devices where each potentially transited device has been verified as achieving a specific set of Trustworthiness Claims during its most recent trustworthiness appraisal. Interesting sets of Trustworthiness Claims might be marketed to end-users in the following ways:¶
The following terms are imported from [RFC9334]: Attester, Evidence, Passport, Relying Party, and Verifier.¶
The following terms are impored from [I-D.ietf-rats-ar4si]: Trustworthiness Claim, Trustworthiness Vector, AR-augmented Evidence¶
Newly defined terms for this document:¶
a network connected Attester where a Verifier's most recent appraisal of Evidence has returned a Trustworthiness Vector.¶
AR-augmented Evidence which can take two forms. First if the Attester uses a TPM2, the the Verifier Proof-of-Freshness includes the <clock>, <reset-counter>, <restart-counter> and <safe> objects from a recent TPM2 quote made by that Attester, and the Relying Party Proof-of-Freshness is returned along with the timeticks as objects embedded within the most recent TPM quote signed by the same TPM2. Second, if the Attester uses a TPM1.2: the Verifier Proof-of-Freshness includes a global timestamp from that Verifier, and the Relying Party Proof-of-Freshness is embedded within a more recent TPM quote signed by the same TPM Attesting Environment.¶
an IP address range where IP packets to or from that range desire confidentially guarantees beyond those of non-identified subnets. In practice, flows to or from a Sensitive Subnet must only have their IP headers and encapsulated payloads accessible/visible only by Attested Devices supporting one or more Trustworthiness Vectors.¶
a network device within an network domain where any packets originally passed into that network domain are completely opaque on that network device at Layer 3 and above.¶
a topology which includes only Attested Devices and Transparently-Transited Devices.¶
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.¶
The specification is a valid instance of [I-D.ietf-rats-ar4si]. This specification works under the following protocol and preconfiguration prerequisite assumptions:¶
To be included in a Trusted Topology, Stamped Passports are shared between Attested Devices (such as routers) as part of link layer authentication. Upon receiving and appraising the Stamped Passport during the link layer authentication phase, the Relying Party Attested Device decides if this link should be added as an active adjacency for a particular Trusted Topology. In Figure 1 below, this might be done by applying an Appraisal Policy for Attestation Results. The policy within each device might specify the evalutation of a 'hardware' claim as defined in [I-D.ietf-rats-ar4si], Section 2.3.4. With the appraisal, an Attesting Device be most recently appraised with the 'hardware' Trustworthiness Claim in the 'affirming' range. If Attested Device has been appraised outside that range, it would not become part of the Trustworthy Topology.¶
When enough links have been successfully added, the Trusted Topology will support edge-to-edge forwarding as routing protocols flood the adjacency information across the network domain.¶
.------------. .----------.
| Attested | | Edge |
.----------. | Device 'x' | | Attested |
| Attested | | | | Device |
| Device | | | | |
| | | trust>---------------<no_trust |
| no_trust>--<trust | .----------. | |---Sensitive
| | '------------' | trust>==<trust | Subnet
| trust>==================<trust | | |
'----------' | | '----------'
| Attested |
| Device |
'----------'
As the process described above repeats over time across the set of links within a network domain, Trusted Topologies can be extended and maintained. Traffic to and from Sensitive Subnets is then identified at the edges of the network domain and passed into this Trusted Topology. Traffic exchanged with Sensitive Subnets can then be forwarded across that Trusted Topology from all edges of the network domain. After the initial Trusted Topology establishment, new and existing devices will continue to provide incremental Stamped Passports. As each link is added/removed from the Trusted Topology, the topology will adjust itself accordingly.¶
Ultimately from an operator and users point of view, the delivered network will be more secure and therefore the service provided more valuable. As network operators attach great importance to the innate security of links, also delivering security for transited network and networking devices will also prove valuable.¶
Critical to the establishment and maintenance of a Trusted Topology is the Stamped Passport. A Stamped Passport is comprised of Evidence from both an Attester and a Verifier. A Stamped Passport is a valid type of AR-augmented evidence as described in [I-D.ietf-rats-ar4si].¶
Stamped Passports are exchanged between adjacent network devices over a link layer protocols like 802.1x or MACSEC. As both sides of a link may need might need to appraise the other, independent Stamped Passports will often be transmitted from either side of the link. Additionally, as link layer protocols will continuously re-authenticate the link, this allows for fresh Stamped Passports to be constantly appraised by either side of the connection.¶
Each Stamped Passport will include the most recent Verifier provided Attestation Results, as well as the most recent TPM Quote for that Attester. Upon receiving this information as part of link layer authentication, the Relying Party Router appraises the results and decides if this link should be added to a Trusted Topology.¶
Figure 2 describes this flow of information using the time definitions described in [RFC9334], and the information flows defined in Section 7 of [RATS-Interactions]. This figure is also a valid embodiment of the "Interaction Model" described within [I-D.ietf-rats-ar4si]. (Note that the Relying Party must also be an Attested Device in order to attract Sensitive Subnet traffic which may flow from the Attester.)¶

To summarize Figure 2 above, Evidence about a specific Attester is generated. Some subset of this evidence will be in the form of PCR quotes which are signed by a TPM that exists as the Attester's Attesting Environment. This Evidence will be delibered to and appraised by Verifier A. Verifier A will then appraise the Attester and give it a Trustworthiness Vector. This Trustworthiness Vector is then signed by Verifier A and be returned as Attestation Results to the Attester. Later, when a request comes in from a Relying Party, the Attester assembles and returns a Stamped Passport. The Stamped Passport contains all the information necessary for Verifier B to appraise the most recent Trustworthiness Vector of the Attester. Based on the Verifier B appraisal, the link will be included or not in a Trusted Topology maintained on the Relying Party.¶
More details on the mechanisms used in the construction, verification, and transmitting of the Stamped Passport are listed below. These numbers match to both the numbered steps of Figure 2 and numbered steps described in Section 3 of [I-D.ietf-rats-ar4si]:¶
Evidence about and Attester is generated. A portion of this Evidence will include a PCR quote signed by a TPM private LDevID key that exists within the Attester's TPM based Attesting Environment. The Attester sends a signed TPM Quote which includes PCR measurements to Verifier A at time(EG).¶
There are two alternatives for Verifier A to acquire this signed Evidence:¶
Verifier A appraises the Evidence from Step 1. A portion of this appraisal process will follow the appraisal process flow described below. This appraisal process MUST be able to set at least the following set of Trustworthiness Claims from [I-D.ietf-rats-ar4si]: 'hardware', 'instance-identity', and 'executables'. The establishment of a Trustworthiness Vector uses the following Figure 3 logic on the Verifier:¶
Start: TPM Quote Received, log received, or appraisal timer expired
for the the Attesting network device.
Appraisal 0: set Trustworthiness Vector = Null
Appraisal 1: Is there sufficient fresh signed evidence to appraise?
(yes) - No Action
(no) - Goto End
Appraisal 2: Appraise Hardware Integrity PCRs
if (hardware NOT "0") - push onto vector
if (hardware NOT affirming or warning), go to End
Appraisal 3: Appraise Attesting Environment identity
if (instance-identity <> "0") - push onto vector
Appraisal 4: Appraise executable loaded and filesystem integrity
if (executables NOT "0") - push onto vector
if (executables NOT affirming or warning), go to End
Appraisal 5: Appraise all remaining Trustworthiness Claims
Independently and set as appropriate.
End
After the appraisal and generation of the Trustworthiness Vector, the following are assembled as the set of Attestation Results from this particular appraisal cycle:¶
(2.1) the Public Attestation Key which was used to validate the TPM Quote of Step 1. This is encoded by <public-key>, <public-key-format>, and <public-key-algorithm-type>.¶
(2.2) the appraised Trustworthiness Vector of the Attester as calculated in Figure 3¶
(2.3) the PCR state information from the TPM Quote of (1) plus the time information associated with the TPM Quote of (1). Specifically if the Attester has a TPM2, then the values of the TPM PCRs are included (i.e., <TPM2B_DIGEST>, <tpm20-hash-algo>, and <pcr-index>), as are the timing counters from the TPM (i.e., <clock>, <reset-counter>, <restart-counter>, and <safe>). Likewise if the Attester has a TPM1.2, the TPM PCR values of the <pcr-index> and <pcr-value> are included. Timing information comes from the Verifier itself via the <timestamp> object.¶
(2.4) a Verifier A signature across (2.1) though (2.3). This signature is encoded by <verifier-signature>, <verifier-key-algorithm-type>, and <verifier-signature-key-name>.¶
Immediately subsequent to each Verifier appraisal cycle of an Attester, these Attestation Results MUST be pushed to the Attesting Router. This is done via a daatstore write to the following YANG model on the Attester. A YANG tree showing the relevant YANG objects is below. The YANG model describing each of these objects is described later in the document. Note however that although the YANG model shows the specific objects which are needed, the specific set of objects needs to be encoded in CDDL. This makes the payload going over TLS more efficient. Look for this encoding in a new version of the draft which is pending.¶

At time(NS') some form of time-based freshness (such as a nonce or Epoch Handle [RATS-Interactions]) will be generated in a way which makes it available to the Relying Party. Soon after time(NS'), a Relying Party will make a Link Layer authentication request to an Attester via a either [MACSEC] or [IEEE-802.1X]. This connection request MUST expect the return of [RFC3748] credentials from the Attester.¶
Upon receipt of the Link Layer request from Step 3, a Stamped Passport is generated and sent to the Relying Party. The Stamped Passport MUST include the following:¶
(4.1) The Attestation Results from Step 2¶
(4.2) New signed, verifiably fresh PCR measurements based on a TPM quote at time(EG') which incorporates the freshness information known by the Relying Party from Step 3. If it is a nonce, the freshness information will have been delivered as part of the link layer connection request in Steps 3.¶
Stamped Passports contain following objects, defined in this document via YANG. A subsequent draft will convert the objects below into CDDL format so that the objects can efficiently be passed over EAP.¶
If an Attester includes a TPM2, these YANG objects are:¶
+---n tpm20-stamped-passport
+--ro attestation-results
| +--ro trustworthiness-vector
| | +--ro hardware? hardware
| | +--ro instance-identity? instance-identity
| | +--ro executables? executables

| +--ro verifier-certificate-keystore-ref
| tpm:certificate-name-ref
+--ro tpm20-quote
+--ro TPMS_QUOTE_INFO binary
+--ro quote-signature binary
Note that where a TPM2.0 is used, the PCR numbers and hash algorithms quoted in Step 1 MUST match the PCR numbers and hash algorithms quoted in this step.¶
And if the Attester is a TPM1.2, the YANG object are:¶
+---n tpm12-stamped-passport
+--ro attestation-results
| +--ro trustworthiness-vector
| | +--ro hardware? hardware
| | +--ro instance-identity? instance-identity
| | +--ro executables? executables
| | +--ro configuration? configuration
| +--ro pcr-index* pcr
| +--ro tpm12-pcr-value* binary
| +--ro tpm12-hash-algo identityref
| +--ro TPM12-quote-timestamp
| | yang:date-and-time
| +--ro attester-certificate-name
| | tpm:certificate-name-ref
| +--ro appraisal-timestamp
| | yang:date-and-time
| +--ro verifier-algorithm-type identityref
| +--ro verifier-signature binary
| +--ro verifier-certificate-keystore-ref
| tpm:certificate-name-ref
+--ro tpm12-quote
+--ro TPM_QUOTE2? binary
With either of these passport formats, if the TPM quote is verifiably fresh, then the state of the Attester can be appraised by a network peer.¶
Note that with [MACSEC] or [IEEE-802.1X], Step 3 plus Step 4 will repeat periodically independently of any subsequent iteration Steps 1 and Step 2. This allows for periodic reauthentication of the link layer in a way not bound to the updating of Verifier A's Attestation Results.¶
Upon receipt of the Stamped Passport generated in Step 4, the Relying Party appraises this Stamped Passport as per its Appraisal Policy for Attestation Results. The result of this application will determine how the Stamped Passport will impact adjacencies within a Trusted Topology. The decision process is as follows:¶
(5.1) Verify that (4.2) includes the freshness context from Step 3.¶
(5.2) Use a local certificate to validate the signature (4.1).¶
(5.3) Verify that the hash from (4.2) matches (4.1)¶
(5.4) Use the identity of (2.1) to validate the signature of (4.2).¶
(5.5) Failure of any steps (5.1) through (5.4) means the link does not meet minimum validation criteria, therefore appraise the link as having a null Verifier B Trustworthiness Vector. Jump to Step 6.¶
(5.6) Compare the time(EG) TPM state to the time(EG') TPM state¶
If TPM2.0¶
If TPM1.2¶
(5.7) Assemble the Verifier B Trustworthiness Vector¶
After the Trustworthiness Vector has been validated or reset, based on the link's Trustworthiness Vector, the Relying Party adjusts the link affinity of the corresponding ISIS [I-D.ietf-lsr-flex-algo] topology. ISIS will then replicate the link state across the IGP domain. Traffic will then avoid links which do not have a qualifying Trustworthiness Vector.¶

<CODE ENDS>
¶
Verifiers are limited to the Evidence available for appraisal from a Router. Although the state of the art is improving, some exploits may not be visible via Evidence.¶
Only security measurements which are placed into PCRs are capable of being exposed via TPM Quote at time(EG').¶
Successful attacks on an Verifier have the potential of affecting traffic on the Trusted Topology.¶
For Trusted Path Routing, links which are part of the FlexAlgo are visible across the entire IGP domain. Therefore a compromised device will know when it is being bypassed.¶
Access control for the objects in Figure 4 should be tightly controlled so that it becomes difficult for the Stamped Passport to become a denial of service vector.¶
Peter Psenak, Shwetha Bhandari, Adwaith Gautham, Annu Singh, Sujal Sheth, Nancy Cam Winget, and Ned Smith.¶
(1) When there is no available Trusted Topology?¶
Do we need functional requirements on how to handle traffic to/from Sensitive Subnets when no Trusted Topology exists between IGP edges? The network typically can make this unnecessary. For example it is possible to construct a local IPSec tunnel to make untrusted devices appear as Transparently-Transited Devices. This way Secure Subnets could be tunneled between FlexAlgo nodes where an end-to-end path doesn't currently exist. However there still is a corner case where all IGP egress points are not considered sufficiently trustworthy.¶
(2) Extension of the Stamped Passport?¶
Format of the reference to the 'verifier-certificate-name' based on WG desire to include more information in the Stamped Passport. Also we need to make sure that the keystore referenced names are globally unique, else we will need to include a node name in the object set.¶
(3) Encoding of objects in CDDL. A Verifier will want to sign encoded objects rather than YANG structures. It is most efficient to encode the Attestation Results once on the Verifier, and push these down via a YANG model to the Attester.¶
