+ Simplified Local Internet Number Resource Management with the RPKI
+ (SLURM)
+
+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.

+RFC 8416 SLURM August 2018
+
+
+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 (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
+ 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 (see [RFC1918], [RFC4193], and [RFC6598]) or private AS numbers
+ (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, at its
+ discretion, an exception to the RPKI in the form of filters and
+ additions (for its own use and that of its 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 Local Internet Number Resource Management with the
+ RPKI (SLURM)".
+
+ SLURM allows an operator to create a local view of the global RPKI by
+ generating sets of assertions. For origin validation [RFC6811], an
+ assertion is a tuple of {IP prefix, prefix length, maximum length,
+ Autonomous System Number (ASN)} as used by the RPKI-Router protocol,
+ version 0 [RFC6810] and version 1 [RFC8210]. For BGPsec [RFC8205],
+ an assertion is a tuple of {ASN, subject key identifier, router
+ public key} as used by version 1 of the RPKI-Router protocol. (For
+ the remainder of this document, these assertions are called "ROA
+ Prefix Assertions" and "BGPsec Assertions", respectively.)

+
+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.
+
+2. RP with SLURM
+
+ SLURM provides a simple way to enable an RP to establish a local,
+ customized view of the RPKI, overriding RPKI repository data if
+ needed. To that end, an RP with SLURM filters out (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-Router protocol [RFC8210]. The 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 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 Files and Mechanisms
+
+3.1. Use of JSON
+
+ SLURM filters and assertions are specified in JSON format [RFC8259].
+ JSON members that are not defined here MUST NOT be used in SLURM
+ files. An RP MUST consider any deviations from the 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; 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:

+ }
+ }

+
+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" 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 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 the following members or 2) one of each of the following
+ members.
+
+ o A "prefix" member, whose value is a string representing either an
+ IPv4 prefix (see Section 3.1 of [RFC4632]) or an IPv6 prefix (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"
+ }
+ ]
+
+ Figure 3: "prefixFilters" Examples
+
+ Any Validated ROA 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, 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, 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" 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 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:
+
+
+
+Ma, et al. Standards Track [Page 7]
+
+RFC 8416 SLURM August 2018
+
+
+ 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
+ Key Identifier as described in Section 4.8.2 of [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"
+ }
+ ]
+
+ 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, a BGPsec Assertion is
+ considered to match if the Assertion ASN matches the Filter ASN.
+
+ 2. If the BGPsec Filter only contains an 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 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 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 so that it can be
+ shown to users 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 the following members:
+
+ o A "prefix" member, whose value is a string representing either an
+ IPv4 prefix (see Section 3.1 of [RFC4632]) or an IPv6 prefix (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"
+ }
+ ]
+
+ Figure 5: "prefixAssertions" Examples
+
+
+
+
+Ma, et al. Standards Track [Page 9]
+
+RFC 8416 SLURM August 2018
+
+
+ Note that the combination of the prefix, 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 and ensure that it sends the complete set of Protocol Data
+ Units (PDUs), excluding duplicates when using the RPKI-Router
+ protocol (see Sections 5.6 and 5.7 of [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. It is RECOMMENDED that an
+ explanatory comment is also 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]) of the certificate's Subject
+ Key Identifier as described in Section 4.8.2 of [RFC6487] (This is
+ the value of the ASN.1 OCTET STRING without the ASN.1 tag or
+ length fields.)
+
+ o A "routerPublicKey" member, whose value is the Base64 encoding
+ without trailing '=' (Section 5 of [RFC4648]) of the equivalent to
+ the subjectPublicKeyInfo value of the router certificate's public
+ 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 a "bgpsecAssertions"
+ member with one object as described above:
+
+ "bgpsecAssertions": [
+ {
+ "asn": 64496,
+ "SKI": "<some base64 SKI>",
+ "routerPublicKey": "<some base64 public key>",
+ "comment": "My known key for my important ASN"
+ }
+ ]
+
+ Figure 6: "bgpsecAssertions" Examples
+
+
+
+
+Ma, et al. Standards Track [Page 10]
+
+RFC 8416 SLURM August 2018
+
+
+ Note that a "bgpsecAssertions" member matches the syntax of the
+ Router Key PDU described in Section 5.10 of [RFC8210]. Relying
+ Parties MUST add any "bgpsecAssertions" member thus found to the set
+ of Router Key PDUs, excluding duplicates, when using the RPKI-Router
+ protocol [RFC8210].
+
+3.5. Example of a SLURM File with Filters and Assertions
+
+ The following JSON structure represents an example of a SLURM file
+ that uses all the elements described in the previous sections:
+
+ {
+ "slurmVersion": 1,
+ "validationOutputFilters": {
+ "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"
+ }
+ ],
+ "bgpsecFilters": [
+ {
+ "asn": 64496,
+ "comment": "All keys for ASN"
+ },
+ {
+ "SKI": "Zm9v",
+ "comment": "Key matching Router SKI"
+ },
+ {
+ "asn": 64497,

+
+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 the same as if a SLURM
+ file were not used or 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 NotFound state
+ [RFC6811]. If both additions occur, then both routes would be in the
+ Valid state. However, if one addition occurs and the other does not,
+ then one could be Invalid while the other is 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 independently. Before an RP configures SLURM files from
+ different 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
+ 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 and SHOULD issue a warning as error
+ report in the following cases:
+
+ 1. There may be conflicting changes to ROA Prefix Assertions if an
+ IP address X and distinct SLURM files Y and Z exist such that X
+ is contained by any prefix in any "prefixAssertions" or
+ "prefixFilters" in file Y and X is contained by any prefix in any
+ "prefixAssertions" or "prefixFilters" in file Z.
+
+ 2. There may be conflicting changes to BGPsec Assertions if an ASN X
+ and distinct SLURM files Y and Z exist such that X is used in any
+ "bgpsecAssertions" or "bgpsecFilters" in file Y and X is used in
+ any "bgpsecAssertions" or "bgpsecFilters" in file Z.

+ 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
+ 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 to that 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 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. The mechanism to update the SLURM file to
+ guarantee authenticity and integrity is out of the scope of this
+ document.
