These are the -# production-side RPKI tools, for Internet Registries (RIRs, LIRs, etc). -# See the "rcynic" program for relying party tools. -# -# rpkid is a set of Python modules supporting generation and maintenance -# of resource certificates. Most of the code is in the rpkid/rpki/ -# directory. rpkid itself is a relatively small program that calls the -# library modules. There are several other programs that make use of -# the same libraries, as well as a collection of test programs. -# -# At present the package is intended to be run out of its build -# directory. Setting up proper installation in a system area using the -# Python distutils package would likely not be very hard but has not yet -# been done. -# -# Note that initial development of this code has been on FreeBSD, so -# installation will probably be easiest on FreeBSD. -# -# Before attempting to build the package, you need to install any -# missing prerequisites. Note that the Python code requires Python -# version 2.5. rpkid et al are mostly self-contained, but do require -# a small number of external packages to run. -# -# <ul> -# <li> -# If your Python installation does not already include the sources -# files needed to compile new Python extension modules, you will -# need to install whatever package does include those source -# files. The need for and name of this package varies from system -# to system. On FreeBSD, the base Python interpreter package -# includes the development sources; on at least some Linux -# distributions, you have to install a separate "python-devel" -# package or something similar. If you get compilation errors -# trying to build the POW code (below) and the error message says -# something about the file "Python.h" being missing, this is -# almost certainly your problem. -# </li> -# -# <li> -# <a href="http://codespeak.net/lxml/">http://codespeak.net/lxml/</a>. -# lxml in turn requires the Gnome LibXML2 C libraries. -# <ul> -# <li>FreeBSD: /usr/ports/devel/py-lxml</li> -# <li>Fedora: python-lxml.i386</li> -# <li>Ubuntu: python-lxml</li> -# </ul> -# </li> -# -# <li> -# <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python/">http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python/</a>. -# MySQLdb in turn requires MySQL client and server. rpkid et al have -# been tested with MySQL 5.0 and 5.1. -# <ul> -# <li>FreeBSD: /usr/ports/databases/py-MySQLdb</li> -# <li>Fedora: MySQL-python.i386</li> -# <li>Ubuntu: python-mysqldb</li> -# </ul> -# </li> -# </ul> -# -# rpkid et al also make heavy use of a modified copy of the Python -# OpenSSL Wrappers (POW) package, but this copy has enough modifications -# and additions that it's included in the subversion tree. -# -# The next step is to build the OpenSSL and POW binaries. At present -# the OpenSSL code is just a snapshot of the OpenSSL development -# sources, compiled with special options to enable RFC 3779 support -# that ISC wrote under previous contract to ARIN. The POW (Python -# OpenSSL Wrapper) library is an extended copy of the stock POW -# release. -# -# To build these, cd to the top-level directory in the distribution and -# type "make". -# -# @verbatim -# $ cd $top -# $ make -# @endverbatim -# -# This should automatically build everything, in the right order, -# including staticly linking the POW extension module with the OpenSSL -# library to provide RFC 3779 support. If you get errors building -# POW, see the above discussion of Python development sources. -# -# You will also need a MySQL installation. This code was developed -# using MySQL 5.1 and has been tested with MySQL 5.0 and 5.1. -# -# The architecture is intended to support hardware signing modules -# (HSMs), but the code to support them has not been written. -# -# At this point, you should have all the necessary software installed. -# You will probably want to test it. All tests should be run from the -# rpkid/ directory. The test suite requires a few more external -# packages, only one of which is Python code. -# -# <ul> -# <li> -# <a href="http://pyyaml.org/">http://pyyaml.org/</a>. -# testpoke.py (an up-down protocol command line test client) and -# testbed.py (a test harness) use PyYAML. -# <ul> -# <li>FreeBSD: /usr/ports/devel/py-yaml</li> -# <li>Ubuntu: python-yaml</li> -# </ul> -# </li> -# -# <li> -# <a href="http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/">http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/</a>. -# Some of the test code uses xsltproc, from the Gnome LibXSLT -# package. -# <ul> -# <li>FreeBSD: /usr/ports/textproc/libxslt</li> -# <li>Ubuntu: xsltproc</li> -# </ul> -# </li> -# -# <li> -# <a href="http://w3m.sourceforge.net/">http://w3m.sourceforge.net/</a>. -# testbed.py uses w3m to display the summary output from rcynic. -# Nothing terrible will happen if w3m isn't available, testbed.py -# will just complain about it being missing and won't display -# rcynic's output. -# <ul> -# <li>FreeBSD: /usr/ports/www/w3m</li> -# <li>Ubuntu: w3m</li> -# </ul> -# </li> -# </ul> -# -# Some of the tests require MySQL databases to store their data. To set -# up all the databases that the tests will need, run the SQL commands in -# rpkid/testbed.setup.sql. The MySQL command line client is usually the -# easiest way to do this, eg: -# -# @verbatim -# $ cd $top/rpkid -# $ mysql -u root -p <testbed.setup.sql -# @endverbatim -# -# To run the tests, run "make all-tests": -# -# @verbatim -# $ cd $top/rpkid -# $ make all-tests -# @endverbatim -# -# If nothing explodes, your installation is probably ok. Any Python -# backtraces in the output indicate a problem. -# -# There's a last set of tools that only developers should need, as -# they're only used when modifying schemas or regenerating the -# documentation. These tools are listed here for completeness. -# -# <ul> -# <li> -# <a href="http://www.doxygen.org/">http://www.doxygen.org/</a>. -# Doxygen in turn pulls in several other tools, notably Graphviz, -# pdfLaTeX, and Ghostscript. -# <ul> -# <li>FreeBSD: /usr/ports/devel/doxygen</li> -# <li>Ubuntu: doxygen</li> -# </ul> -# </li> -# -# <li> -# <a href="http://lynx.isc.org/current/">http://lynx.isc.org/current/</a>. -# The documentation build process uses xsltproc and Lynx to dump -# flat text versions of a few critical documentation pages. -# <ul> -# <li>FreeBSD: /usr/ports/www/lynx</li> -# <li>Ubuntu: lynx</li> -# </ul> -# </li> -# -# <li> -# <a href="http://www.thaiopensource.com/relaxng/trang.html">http://www.thaiopensource.com/relaxng/trang.html</a>. -# Trang is used to convert RelaxNG schemas from the human-readable -# "compact" form to the XML form that LibXML2 understands.

These are the -# production-side RPKI tools, for Internet Registries (RIRs, LIRs, etc). -# See rcynic/README for relying party tools. -# -# @warning -# rpkid is still in development, and the code changes more often than -# the hand-maintained portions of this documentation. The following -# text was reasonably accurate at the time it was written but may be -# obsolete by the time you read it. -# -# At present the package is intended to be run out of the @c rpkid/ -# directory. -# -# In addition to the library routines in the @c rpkid/rpki/ directory, -# the package includes the following programs: -# -# @li @c rpkid.py: -# The main RPKI engine daemon. -# -# @li @c pubd.py: -# The publication engine daemon. -# -# @li @c rootd.py: -# A separate daemon for handling the root of an RPKI -# certificate tree. This is essentially a stripped down -# version of rpkid with no SQL database, no left-right -# protocol implementation, and only the parent side of -# the up-down protocol. It's separate because the root -# is a special case in several ways and it was simpler -# to keep the special cases out of the main daemon. -# -# @li @c irdbd.py: -# A sample implementation of an IR database daemon. -# rpkid calls into this to perform lookups via the -# left-right protocol. -# -# @li @c irbe_cli.py: -# A command-line client for the left-right control -# protocol. -# -# @li @c cross_certify.py: -# A BPKI cross-certification tool. -# -# @li @c cronjob.py: -# A trivial HTTP client used to drive rpkid cron events. -# -# @li @c testbed.py: -# A test tool for running a collection of rpkid and irdb -# instances under common control, driven by a unified -# test script. -# -# @li @c testpoke.py: -# A simple client for the up-down protocol, mostly -# compatable with APNIC's rpki_poke.pl tool. -# -# Most of these programs take configuration files in a common format -# similar to that used by the OpenSSL command line tool. The test -# programs also take input in YAML format to drive the tests. Runs of -# the testbed.py test tool will generate a fairly complete set -# configuration files which may be useful as examples. -# -# Basic operation consists of creating the appropriate MySQL databases, -# starting rpkid, pubd, rootd, and irdbd, using the left-right control -# protocol to set up rpkid's internal state, and setting up a cron job -# to invoke rpkid's cron action at regular intervals. All other -# operations should occur either as a result of cron events or as a -# result of incoming left-right and up-down protocol requests. -# -# Note that the full event-driven model for rpkid hasn't yet been -# implemented. The design is intended to allow an arbitrary number of -# hosted RPKI engines to run in a single rpkid instance, but without the -# event-driven tasking model one must set up a separate rpkid instance -# for each hosted RPKI engine. -# -# At present the daemon programs all run in foreground, that is, if one -# wants them to run in background one must do so manually, eg, using -# Bourne shell syntax: -# -# @verbatim -# $ python whatever.py & -# $ echo >whatever.pid "$!" -# @endverbatim -# -# All of the daemons use syslog by default. To make them log to -# stderr instead, use the "-d" option. -# -# @section CommonOptions Common Options -# -# Some of the options that the several daemons take are common to all -# daemons. Which daemon they affect depends only on which sections of -# which config files they are in. -# -# The first group of options are debugging flags, which can be set to -# "true" or "false". If not specified, default values will be chosen -# (generally false). -# -# @li @c debug_http -# Enable verbose http debug logging. -# @li @c debug_tls_certs -# Enable verbose logging about tls certs. -# -# @li @c want_persistent_client -# Enable http 1.1 persistence, client side. -# -# @li @c want_persistent_server -# Enable http 1.1 persistence, server side. -# -# @li @c debug_cms_certs -# Enable verbose logging about cms certs. -# -# @li @c sql_debug -# Enable verbose logging about sql operations. -# -# @li @c gc_debug -# Enable scary garbage collector debugging. -# -# @li @c timer_debug -# Enable verbose logging of timer system. -# -# There are also a few options that allow you to save CMS messages for -# audit or debugging. The save format is a simple MIME encoding in a -# Maildir-format mailbox. The current options are very crude, at some -# point we may provide finer grain controls. -# -# @li @c dump_outbound_cms -# Dump messages we send to this mailbox. -# -# @li @c dump_inbound_cms -# Dump messages we receive to this mailbox. -# -# -# @section rpkid rpkid.py -# -# rpkid is the main RPKI engine daemon. Configuration of rpkid is a -# two step process: a %config file to bootstrap rpkid to the point -# where it can speak using the @link Left-right left-right protocol, -# @endlink followed by dynamic configuration via the left-right -# protocol.

It implements the server side of -# the publication protocol, and is used by rpkid to publish the -# certificates and other objects that rpkid generates. -# -# pubd is separate from rpkid for two reasons: -# -# @li The hosting model allows entities which choose to run their own -# copies of rpkid to publish their output under a common -# publication point. In general, encouraging shared publication -# services where practical is a good thing for relying parties, -# as it will speed up rcynic synchronization time. -# -# @li The publication server has to run on (or at least close to) the -# publication point itself, which in turn must be on a publically -# reachable server to be useful. rpkid, on the other hand, need -# only be reachable by the IRBE and its children in the RPKI tree. -# rpkid is a much more complex piece of software than pubd, so in -# some situations it might make sense to wrap tighter firewall -# constraints around rpkid than would be practical if rpkid and -# pubd were a single program. -# -# pubd stores dynamic data in an SQL database, which must have been -# created for it, as explained in the installation guide. pubd also -# stores the published objects themselves as disk files in a -# configurable location which should correspond to an appropriate -# module definition in rsync.conf. -# -# The default %config file is pubd.conf, start pubd with "-c -# filename" to choose a different %config file.

The first configuration file uses the -# same syntax as the above configuration files but is completely -# optional. The second configuration file is the test script, which is -# encoded using the YAML serialization language (see -# http://www.yaml.org/ for more information on YAML). The YAML script -# is not optional, as it describes the test layout. testbed is designed -# to support running a fairly wide set of test configurations as canned -# scripts without writing any new control code. The intent is to make -# it possible to write meaningful regression tests. -# -# All of the options in in the first (optional) configuration file are -# just overrides for wired-in default values. In most cases the -# defaults will suffice, and the set of options is still in flux, so -# only a few of the options are described here. The default name for -# this configuration file is testbed.conf, run testbed with "-c -# filename" to change it. -# -# testbed.conf options: -# -# @li @c testbed_dir: -# Working directory into which testbed should write the -# (many) files it generates. Default is "testbed.dir". -# -# @li @c irdb_db_pass: -# MySQL password for the "irdb" user. Default is -# "fnord". You may want to override this. -# -# @li @c rpki_db_pass: -# MySQL password for the "rpki" user. Default is -# "fnord". You may want to override this. -# -# @li @c rootd_sia: -# rsync URI naming a (perhaps fictious) directory to use -# as the id-ad-caRepository SIA value in the generated -# root resource certificate. Default is -# "rsync://wombat.invalid/". You may want to override -# this if you intend to run an rsync server and test -# against the generated results using rcynic. This -# default will likely change if and when testbed learns -# how to run rcynic itself as part of the test suite. -# -# The second configuration file is named testbed.yaml by default, run -# testbed with "-y filename" to change it. The YAML file contains -# multiple YAML "documents". The first document describes the initial -# test layout and resource allocations, subsequent documents describe -# modifications to the initial allocations and other parameters. -# Resources listed in the initial layout are aggregated automatically, -# so that a node in the resource hierarchy automatically receives the -# resources it needs to issue whatever its children are listed as -# holding. Actions in the subsequent documents are modifications to the -# current resource set, modifications to validity dates or other -# non-resource parameters, or special commands like "sleep". The -# details are still evolving, but here's an example of current usage: -# -# @verbatim -# name: RIR -# valid_for: 2d -# sia_base: "rsync://wombat.invalid/" -# kids: -# - name: LIR0 -# kids: -# - name: Alice -# ipv4: 192.0.2.1-192.0.2.33 -# asn: 64533 -# --- -# - name: Alice -# valid_add: 10 -# --- -# - name: Alice -# add_as: 33 -# valid_add: 2d -# --- -# - name: Alice -# valid_sub: 2d -# --- -# - name: Alice -# valid_for: 10d -# @endverbatim -# -# This specifies an initial layout consisting of an RPKI engine named -# "RIR", with one child "LIR0", which in turn has one child "Alice". -# Alice has a set of assigned resources, and all resources in the system -# are initially set to be valid for two days from the time at which the -# test is started. The first subsequent document adds ten seconds to -# the validity interval for Alice's resources and makes no other -# modifications. The second subsequent document grants Alice additional -# resources and adds another two days to the validity interval for -# Alice's resources. The next document subtracts two days from the -# validity interval for Alice's resources. The final document sets the -# validity interval for Alice's resources to ten days. -# -# Operators in subsequent (update) documents: -# -# @li @c add_as, @c add_v4, @c add_v6: -# These add ASN, IPv4, or IPv6 resources, respectively. -# -# @li @c sub_as, @c sub_v4, @c sub_v6: -# These subtract resources. -# -# @li @c valid_until: -# Set an absolute expiration date. -# -# @li @c valid_for: -# Set a relative expiration date. -# -# @li @c valid_add, @c valid_sub: -# Add to or subtract from validity interval. -# -# @li @c sleep [interval]: -# Sleep for specified interval, or until testbed receives a SIGALRM signal. -# -# Absolute timestamps should be in the form shown (UTC timestamp format -# as used in XML). -# -# Intervals (@c valid_add, @c valid_sub, @c valid_for, @c sleep) are either -# integers, in which case they're interpreted as seconds, or are a -# string of the form "wD xH yM zS" where w, x, y, and z are integers and -# D, H, M, and S indicate days, hours, minutes, and seconds. In the -# latter case all of the fields are optional, but at least one must be -# specified. For example, "3D4H" means "three days plus four hours". -# -# -# @section testpoke testpoke.py -# -# This is a command-line client for the up-down protocol. Unlike all of -# the above programs, testpoke does not accept a %config file in -# OpenSSL-compatable format at all.

The IRBE is the client for one of the -# subprotocols, the RPKI engine is the client for the other. -# -# @section Terminology -# -# @li @em IRBE: Internet Registry Back End -# -# @li @em IRDB: Internet Registry Data Base -# -# @li @em BPKI: Business PKI -# -# @li @em RPKI: Resource PKI -# -# @section Operations initiated by the IRBE -# -# This part of the protcol uses a kind of message-passing. Each %object -# that the RPKI engine knows about takes five messages: "create", "set", -# "get", "list", and "destroy". Actions which are not just data -# operations on %objects are handled via an SNMP-like mechanism, as if -# they were fields to be set. For example, to generate a keypair one -# "sets" the "generate-keypair" field of a BSC %object, even though there -# is no such field in the %object itself as stored in SQL. This is a bit -# of a kludge, but the reason for doing it as if these were variables -# being set is to allow composite operations such as creating a BSC, -# populating all of its data fields, and generating a keypair, all as a -# single operation. With this model, that's trivial, otherwise it's at -# least two round trips. -# -# Fields can be set in either "create" or "set" operations, the -# difference just being whether the %object already exists. A "get" -# operation returns all visible fields of the %object. A "list" -# operation returns a %list containing what "get" would have returned on -# each of those %objects. -# -# Left-right protocol %objects are encoded as signed CMS messages -# containing XML as eContent and using an eContentType OID of @c id-ct-xml -# (1.2.840.113549.1.9.16.1.28). These CMS messages are in turn passed -# as the data for HTTPS POST operations, with an HTTP content type of -# "application/x-rpki" for both the POST data and the response data. -# -# All operations allow an optional "tag" attribute which can be any -# alphanumeric token. The main purpose of the tag attribute is to allow -# batching of multiple requests into a single PDU. -# -# @subsection self_obj <self/> object -# -# A @c <self/> %object represents one virtual RPKI engine. In simple cases -# where the RPKI engine operator operates the engine only on their own -# behalf, there will only be one @c <self/> %object, representing the engine -# operator's organization, but in environments where the engine operator -# hosts other entities, there will be one @c @c <self/> %object per hosted -# entity (probably including the engine operator's own organization, -# considered as a hosted customer of itself). -# -# Some of the RPKI engine's configured parameters and data are shared by -# all hosted entities, but most are tied to a specific @c <self/> %object. -# Data which are shared by all hosted entities are referred to as -# "per-engine" data, data which are specific to a particular @c <self/> -# %object are "per-self" data. -# -# Since all other RPKI engine %objects refer to a @c <self/> %object via a -# "self_handle" value, one must create a @c <self/> %object before one can -# usefully configure any other left-right protocol %objects. -# -# Every @c <self/> %object has a self_handle attribute, which must be specified -# for the "create", "set", "get", and "destroy" actions. -# -# Payload data which can be configured in a @c <self/> %object: -# -# @li @c use_hsm (attribute): -# Whether to use a Hardware Signing Module.

The @c <route_origin/> %object -# has been replaced by the @c <list_roa_requests/> IRDB query, -# but the documentation for that hasn't been written yet. -# -# The @c <route_origin/> %object is a kind of prototype for a ROA. It -# contains all the information needed to generate a ROA once the RPKI -# engine obtains the appropriate RPKI certificates from its parent(s). -# -# Note that a @c <route_origin/> %object represents a ROA to be generated on -# behalf of @c <self/>, not on behalf of a @c <child/>. Thus, a hosted entity -# that has no children but which does need to generate ROAs would be -# represented by a hosted @c <self/> with no @c <child/> %objects but one or -# more @c <route_origin/> %objects. While lumping ROA generation in with -# the other RPKI engine activities may seem a little odd at first, it's -# a natural consequence of the design requirement that the RPKI daemon -# never transmit private keys across the network in any form; given this -# requirement, the RPKI engine that holds the private keys for an RPKI -# certificate must also be the engine which generates any ROAs that -# derive from that RPKI certificate. -# -# The precise content of the @c <route_origin/> has changed over time as -# the underlying ROA specification has changed. The current -# implementation as of this writing matches what we expect to see in -# draft-ietf-sidr-roa-format-03, once it is issued. In particular, note -# that the exactMatch boolean from the -02 draft has been replaced by -# the prefix and maxLength encoding used in the -03 draft. -# -# Payload data which can be configured in a @c <route_origin/> %object: -# -# @li @c asn (attribute): -# Autonomous System Number (ASN) to place in the generated ROA. A -# single ROA can only grant authorization to a single ASN; multiple -# ASNs require multiple ROAs, thus multiple @c <route_origin/> %objects. -# -# @li @c ipv4 (attribute): -# %List of IPv4 prefix and maxLength values, see below for format. -# -# @li @c ipv6 (attribute): -# %List of IPv6 prefix and maxLength values, see below for format. -# -# Control attributes that can be set to "yes" to force actions: -# -# @li @c suppress_publication: -# Not implemented, may be removed from protocol. -# -# The lists of IPv4 and IPv6 prefix and maxLength values are represented -# as comma-separated text strings, with no whitespace permitted.

These queries do not follow the message-passing -# pattern used in the IRBE-initiated part of the protocol. Instead, -# there's a single query back to the IRDB, with a corresponding -# response. The CMS and HTTPS encoding are the same as in the rest of -# the protocol, but the BPKI certificates will be different as the -# back-queries and responses form a separate communication channel. -# -# @subsection list_resources_msg <list_resources/> messages -# -# The @c <list_resources/> query and response allow the RPKI engine to ask -# the IRDB for information about resources assigned to a particular -# child. The query must include both a @c "self_handle" attribute naming -# the @c <self/> that is making the request and also a @c "child_handle" -# attribute naming the child that is the subject of the query. The -# query and response also allow an optional @c "tag" attribute of the -# same form used elsewhere in this protocol, to allow batching. -# -# A @c <list_resources/> response includes the following attributes, along -# with the @c tag (if specified), @c self_handle, and @c child_handle copied -# from the request: -# -# @li @c valid_until: -# A timestamp indicating the date and time at which certificates -# generated by the RPKI engine for these data should expire. The -# timestamp is expressed as an XML @c xsd:dateTime, must be -# expressed in UTC, and must carry the "Z" suffix indicating UTC. -# -# @li @c asn: -# A %list of autonomous sequence numbers, expressed as a -# comma-separated sequence of decimal integers with no whitespace. -# -# @li @c ipv4: -# A %list of IPv4 address prefixes and ranges, expressed as a -# comma-separated %list of prefixes and ranges with no whitespace. -# See below for format details. -# -# @li @c ipv6: -# A %list of IPv6 address prefixes and ranges, expressed as a -# comma-separated %list of prefixes and ranges with no whitespace. -# See below for format details. -# -# Entries in a %list of address prefixes and ranges can be either -# prefixes, which are written in the usual address/prefixlen notation, -# or ranges, which are expressed as a pair of addresses denoting the -# beginning and end of the range, written in ascending order separated -# by a single "-" character. This format is superficially similar to -# the format used for prefix and maxLength values in the @c <route_origin/> -# %object, but the semantics differ: note in particular that -# @c <route_origin/> %objects don't allow ranges, while @c <list_resources/> -# messages don't allow a maxLength specification. -# -# @section left_right_error_handling Error handling -# -# Error in this protocol are handled at two levels. -# -# Since all messages in this protocol are conveyed over HTTPS -# connections, basic errors are indicated via the HTTP response code. -# 4xx and 5xx responses indicate that something bad happened.

The -# value of this attribute is a token indicating the specific error that -# occurred.

At present this -# capabilty is not used, debugging information goes to syslog. - -## @page Publication Publication protocol -# -# The %publication protocol is really two separate client/server -# protocols, between different parties. The first is a configuration -# protocol for an IRBE to use to configure a %publication engine, -# the second is the interface by which authorized clients request -# %publication of specific objects. -# -# Much of the architecture of the %publication protocol is borrowed -# from the @link Left-right left-right protocol: @endlink like the -# left-right protocol, the %publication protocol uses CMS-wrapped XML -# over HTTPS with the same eContentType OID and the same HTTPS -# content-type, and the overall style of the XML messages is very -# similar to the left-right protocol. All operations allow an -# optional "tag" attribute to allow batching. -# -# The %publication engine operates a single HTTPS server which serves -# both of these subprotocols. The two subprotocols share a single -# server port, but use distinct URLs to allow demultiplexing. -# -# @section Terminology -# -# @li @em IRBE: Internet Registry Back End -# -# @li @em IRDB: Internet Registry Data Base -# -# @li @em BPKI: Business PKI -# -# @li @em RPKI: Resource PKI -# -# @section Publication-control Publication control subprotocol -# -# The control subprotocol reuses the message-passing design of the -# left-right protocol.

At present this -# capabilty is not used, debugging information goes to syslog. -# -# @section publication_access_control Additional access control considerations. -# -# As detailed above, the %publication protocol is trivially simple. This -# glosses over two bits of potential complexity: -# -# @li In the case where parent and child are sharing a repository, we'd -# like to nest child under parent, because testing has demonstrated -# that even on relatively slow hardware the delays involved in -# setting up separate rsync connections tend to dominate -# synchronization time for relying parties. -# -# @li The repository operator might also want to do some checks to -# assure itself that what it's about to allow the RPKI engine to -# publish is not dangerous toxic waste. -# -# The up-down protocol includes a mechanism by which a parent can -# suggest a %publication URI to each of its children. The children are -# not required to accept this hint, and the children must make separate -# arrangements with the repository operator (who might or might not be -# the same as the entity that hosts the children's RPKI engine -# operations) to use the suggested %publication point, but if everything -# works out, this allows children to nest cleanly under their parents -# %publication points, which helps reduce synchronization time for -# relying parties. -# -# In this case, one could argue that the %publication server is -# responsible for preventing one of its clients (the child in the above -# description) from stomping on data published by another of its clients -# (the parent in the above description). This goes beyond the basic -# access check and requires the %publication server to determine whether -# the parent has given its consent for the child to publish under the -# parent. Since the RPKI certificate profile requires the child's -# %publication point to be indicated in an SIA extension in a certificate -# issued by the parent to the child, the %publication engine can infer -# this permission from the parent's issuance of a certificate to the -# child. Since, by definition, the parent also uses this %publication -# server, this is an easy check, as the %publication server should -# already have the parent's certificate available by the time it needs -# to check the child's certificate. -# -# The previous paragraph only covers a "publish" action for a -# <certificate/> %object. For "publish" actions on other -# objects, the %publication server would need to trace permission back -# to the certificate issued by the parent; for "withdraw" actions, -# the %publication server would have to perform the same checks it -# would perform for a "publish" action, using the current published -# data before withdrawing it. The latter in turn implies an ordering -# constraint on "withdraw" actions in order to preserve the data -# necessary for these access control decisions; as this may prove -# impractical, the %publication server may probably need to make -# periodic sweeps over its published data looking for orphaned -# objects, but that's probably a good idea anyway. -# -# Note that, in this %publication model, any agreement that the -# repository makes to publish the RPKI engine's output is conditional -# upon the %object to be published passing whatever access control checks -# the %publication server imposes. - -## @cond DOT_COMMANDS_DONT_BREAK_DOXYGEN_ANYMORE - -## @page sql-schemas SQL database schemas -# -# @li @subpage rpkid-sql "rpkid database schema" -# @li @subpage pubd-sql "pubd database schema" -# @li @subpage irdbd-sql "irdbd database schema" - -## @page rpkid-sql rpkid SQL schema -# -# @dotfile rpkid.dot "Diagram of rpkid.sql" -# -# @verbinclude rpkid.sql - -## @page pubd-sql pubd SQL Schema -# -# @dotfile pubd.dot "Diagram of pubd.sql" -# -# @verbinclude pubd.sql - -## @page irdbd-sql irdbd SQL Schema -# -# @dotfile irdbd.dot "Diagram of irdbd.sql" -# -# @verbinclude irdbd.sql - -## @page bpki-model BPKI model -# -# The "business PKI" (BPKI) is the PKI used to authenticate -# communication on the up-down, left-right, and %publication protocols. -# BPKI certificates are @em not resource PKI (RPKI) certificates.

Similarly, rpkid -# doesn't really care who operates a pubd instance that it's been -# configured to use, it just treats that pubd as a foreign BPKI whose -# trust material has to be cross-certified into its own BPKI. Cross -# certification itself is done by the back end operator, using -# cross_certify or some equivalent tool; the resulting BPKI -# certificates are configured into rpkid and pubd via the left-right -# protocol and the control subprotocol of the publication protocol, -# respectively. -# -# Because the BPKI tree is almost entirely controlled by the operating -# entity, CRLs are not necessary for most of the BPKI.
