           A Profile for Source Prefix Authorizations (SPAs)
                   draft-braet-sidrops-spa-profile-00

Abstract

   This document defines a standard profile for Source Prefix
   Authorizations (SPAs), a Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) protected
   content type for use with the Resource Public Key Infrastructure
   (RPKI).  A SPA is a digitally signed object that allows the holder of
   an IP address prefix assigned by a Regional Internet Registry (RIR)
   to publish a list of source IP address prefixes authorized to send IP
   packets to that destination prefix or its subprefixes.

   To enforce these policies, a BGP speaker may include a
   SOURCE_SELECTIVE Path Attribute referencing the SPAs.  This
   distributes policy references, enabling routing systems to
   incorporate source-based constraints into local forwarding policies
   and trigger control plane enforcement

Internet-Draft                  RPKI-SPA                       June 2026

1.  Introduction

   The Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) enables
   cryptographically verifiable assertions about routing authorization
   using a distributed trust model rooted in the Internet number
   resource allocation hierarchy, as described in [RFC6480].
   Operational experience with RPKI-based origin validation, as
   specified in [RFC6811], has demonstrated that cryptographically
   verifiable routing intent can be incrementally deployed without
   disrupting BGP routing semantics.

   While RPKI enables assertions about routing authorization, it does
   not currently allow prefix holders assigned by a Regional Internet
   Registry (RIR) to publish a signed list for authorized source
   prefixes.

   This document defines a standard profile for Source Prefix
   Authorization (SPA), which enables a prefix holder to publish a
   cryptographically signed list of authorized source prefixes via RPKI.

   The Source Prefix Authorization (SPA) makes use of the template for
   RPKI digitally signed object [RFC6488], which defines a Cryptographic
   Message Syntax (CMS) wrapper [RFC5652] for a generic validation
   procedure for RPKI signed objects.  Therefore, to complete the
   specification of the SPA (see Section 4 of [RFC6488]), this section
   defines:

   *  The OID that identifies the signed object as being a SPA.  (This
      OID appears within the eContentType in the encapContentInfo object
      as well as the content-type signed attribute in the signerInfo
      object.)

   *  The SPA eContent is ASN.1 syntax, encoded using the Distinguished
      Encoding Rules (DER) [X.690].

   *  Additional steps required to validate SPAs (in addition to the
      validation steps specified in [RFC6488]).

   This document is part of the Source-Selective BGP mechanism
   [I-D.braet-idr-source-selective-bgp-framework], which consists of
   RPKI Source Authorization objects and a BGP Path Attribute used to
   reference them.

Internet-Draft                  RPKI-SPA                       June 2026

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
   [RFC2119].

   *  Source Prefix Authorization (SPA) CMS: A set of Source IP address
      prefixes authorized to send packets to a destination prefix
      published in RPKI as specified in this document.

   *  Source Authorization (SA) CMS: An RPKI Source Authorization object
      type category.  This category includes the Source Prefix
      Authorization (SPA) object defined in this document.

   *  SOURCE_SELECTIVE: The BGP Path Attribute that references one or
      more RPKI Source Authorization (SA) objects, including the SPA
      object type, as specified in
      [I-D.braet-idr-bgp-source-selective-attr]

   *  Relying Party (RP): An entity that validates RPKI objects.

   *  Source Address Validation (SAV): Techniques that prevent packets
      with spoofed source addresses from entering or traversing a
      network.

   *  Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS): The format defined in
      [RFC5652] used to encapsulate ASN.1 DER-encoded RPKI payloads
      along with their digital signatures and the certificates required
      for validation.

   *  Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1): A standard notation for
      defining platform-independent data structures, as specified in the
      ITU-T [X.680] series.

   *  Distinguished Encoding Rules (DER): A set of encoding rules
      defined in ITU-T [X.690] that produces a unique, deterministic
      binary representation of ASN.1 structures, essential for
      cryptographic consistency.

2.  The SPA Content Type

   The content-type for a SPA is defined as id-ct-SPA and has the
   numerical value of 1.2.840.113549.1.9.16.1.TBD1.

   This OID MUST appear within both the eContentType in the
   encapContentInfo object and the content-type signed attribute in the
   signerInfo object (see [RFC6488]).

3.  The SPA eContent

   The content of a SPA binds a destination IP prefix or a designated
   subprefix of that prefix to a set of authorized source IP prefixes
   with a policy type.  Only the legitimate holder of the destination
   prefix may publish the object.  A single SPA object instance MUST
   only contain prefixes from a single address family.  A SPA is
   formally defined as:

3.1.  The SourcePrefixAttestation address family

   The IP address family MUST be of the same type for all IP address
   prefixes in a single RPKI Signed Object.

3.2.  The version Element

   The version number of the SourcePrefixAttestation entry MUST be 0.

3.3.  The protectedIpAddrBlock Element

   The protectedIpAddrBlock element contains the Holder's IP address
   prefix or a designated subprefix of that prefix.

3.3.1.  ProtectedSPAIPAddressFamily

   Within the ProtectedSPAIPAddressFamily structure, the addressFamily
   element contains the Address Family Identifier (AFI) of an IP address
   family.  Each addressFamily MUST be either '0001'H or '0002'H.

   The address element contains a single IP prefix of type SPAIPAddress.

3.4.  The srcIpAddrBlocks Element

   The srcIpAddrBlocks element encodes the set of IP address prefixes
   that are authorized to send IP packets to the IP Prefix encoded in
   protectedIpAddrBlock element.

3.4.1.  SPAIPAddressFamily

   Within the SPAIPAddressFamily structure, the addressFamily element
   contains the Address Family Identifier (AFI) of an IP address family.
   Each addressFamily MUST be either '0001'H or '0002'H.

   The addresses element contains IP prefixes as a sequence of type
   SPAIPAddress.

   The savSource element is an ENUMERATED type that indicates if Source
   Address Validation (SAV) controls should be applied to traffic
   originating from the specified source IP prefixes.  It MUST be set to
   either no(0) or yes(1).

3.4.2.  SPAIPAddress

   This element is of type BIT STRING and represents a single IP address
   prefix [RFC3779].

Braet                   Expires 18 December 2026                [Page 7]
Internet-Draft                  RPKI-SPA                       June 2026

   For IPv4, the maximum prefix length (ub-IPv4) MUST be 32 bits.  For
   IPv6, the maximum prefix length (ub-IPv6) MUST be limited to 64 bits
   to mitigate hardware resource exhaustion.

3.5.  The policyType Element

   The policyType element is an ENUMERATED type specifying the
   operational rule governing the associated source prefixes.  It MUST
   be set to allow(0) for allowlist-based policies, deny(1) for
   denylist-based policies, or future(2) for prospective policy
   expansions.

3.6.  SPA Filename convention

3.6.1.  IPv4 Prefixes

   For SPAs associated with IPv4 prefixes, the filename MUST be derived
   from the authorized destination IPv4 prefix and MUST consist of a
   prefix-specific label followed by a hyphen ("-"), the decimal
   representation of the prefix length in bits, and the ".spa" file
   extension.

   The prefix-specific label MUST be encoded using dotted-decimal
   notation and MUST include only those octets that are fully or
   partially covered by the prefix.  Any octets entirely untouched by
   the prefix length MUST be omitted.  Any bits beyond the prefix length
   within a partially covered octet MUST NOT be represented.  For octets
   that are only partially covered by the prefix, all bits not covered
   by the prefix MUST be set to zero.  The prefix length component MUST
   correspond exactly to the length in bits of the authorized prefix.

   For example, an authorization for the prefix 192.0.2.0/24 would be
   encoded as 192.0.2-24.spa, and an authorization for the prefix
   203.0.113.0/25 would be encoded as 203.0.113.0-25.spa.

3.6.2.  IPv6 Prefixes

   For SPAs associated with IPv6 prefixes, the filename MUST be derived
   from the authorized destination IPv6 prefix and MUST consist of a
   prefix-specific label followed by a hyphen ("-"), the decimal
   representation of the prefix length in bits, and the ".spa" file
   extension.

   The prefix-specific label MUST be encoded using the canonical
   hexadecimal representation defined in [RFC5952] and MUST include only
   those 16-bit segments that are fully or partially covered by the
   prefix.  Any octets entirely untouched by the prefix length MUST be
   omitted.  Any bits beyond the prefix length within a partially

Internet-Draft                  RPKI-SPA                       June 2026

   covered octet MUST NOT be represented.  For segments that are only
   partially covered by the prefix, all bits not covered by the prefix
   MUST be set to zero.  Hexadecimal digits MUST be represented in
   lowercase.  The colon (":") separator defined in RFC5952 MUST be
   replaced by a period (".") in the filename to ensure compatibility
   with common operating system file systems.  Zero compression ("::")
   MUST NOT be used.  The prefix length component MUST correspond
   exactly to the length in bits of the authorized prefix.

   For example, an authorization for the IPv6 prefix 2001:0db8:abcd::/48
   would be encoded as 2001.db8.abcd-48.spa, and an authorization for
   the IPv6 prefix 2001:0db8:abcd:ef00::/56 would be encoded as
   2001.db8.abcd.ef00-56.spa.

4.  SPA Publication and Validation

   *  SPA objects MUST be published in the RPKI repository of the
      destination prefix holder.

   *  Entities holding Provider Aggregatable (PA) space assigned by a
      Local Internet Registry (LIR) do not hold the necessary Resource
      Certificates to sign these objects directly; consequently, they
      must request their LIR to create and sign SPA objects on their
      behalf.

   Before a Relying Party can use a SPA, the Relying Party MUST first
   validate the SPA.  To validate a SPA, the Relying Party MUST perform
   all the validation checks specified in [RFC6488] as well as the
   following additional SPA-specific validation steps:

   *  The IP address delegation extension [RFC3779] is present in the
      end-entity (EE) certificate (contained within the SPA), and the
      protectedIpAddrBlock IP address prefix in the SPA payload is
      contained within the set of IP addresses specified by the EE
      certificate's IP address delegation extension.

   *  The EE certificate's IP address delegation extension MUST NOT
      contain "inherit" elements as described in [RFC3779].

   *  The SPA content fully conforms with all requirements specified in
      Sections 2 and 3.

   If any of the above checks fail, the SPA in its entirety MUST be
   considered invalid and an error SHOULD be logged.

5.  Security Considerations

   The security considerations of [RFC6481], [RFC7935], [RFC6488], and
   [RFC9582] also apply to the Source Prefix Authorization (SPA) RPKI
   object.

   Failure to validate Source Prefix Authorization (SPA) objects
   correctly, or to apply consistent policy across enforcement points,
   may result in unintended traffic drops or acceptance of unauthorized
   traffic.
