                  draft-ietf-suit-update-management-07

Abstract

   This specification describes extensions to the SUIT manifest format
   defined in [I-D.ietf-suit-manifest].  These extensions allow an
   update author, update distributor or device operator to more
   precisely control the distribution and installation of updates to
   devices.  These extensions also provide a mechanism to inform a
   management system of Software Identifier and Software Bill Of
   Materials information about an updated device.

Internet-Draft      SUIT Update Management Extensions          July 2024

1.  Introduction

   Full management of software updates for unattended, connected devices
   requires a cooperation between the update author(s) and management,
   distribution, policy enforcement, and auditing systems.  This
   specification provides the extensions to the SUIT manifest
   ([I-D.ietf-suit-manifest]) that enable an author to coordinate with
   these other systems.  These extensions enable authors to instruct
   devices to examine update priority, local update authorisation,
   update lifetime, and system properties.  They also enable devices to
   report and distributors to collect Software Bill of Materials
   information.

   Extensions in this specification are OPTIONAL to implement and
   OPTIONAL to include in manifests unless otherwise designated.

2.  Conventions and 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.

   Additionally, the following terminology is used throughout this
   document:

   *  SUIT: Software Update for the Internet of Things, also the IETF
      working group for this proposed standard.  While this software
      update mechanism is designed with the limitations and requirements
      of IoT devices in mind, there is no restriction preventing its use
      outside of IoT devices or for non-software payloads.

3.  Extension Metadata

   Some additional metadata makes management of SUIT updates easier:

   *  A semantic version number for the update represented by the
      manifest

   *  Concise Software Identifiers (CoSWID), Concise Module Identifiers
      (CoMID), Concise Reference Integrity Manifest (CoRIM)

   *  Text descriptions of requirements

   *  Text description of the current versions of components

Internet-Draft      SUIT Update Management Extensions          July 2024

3.1.  suit-set-version

   This metadata encodes a semantic version for the component set that
   the manifest updates, including any dependencies.  This enables
   version comparisons to be performed on manifests.  Non-manifest
   images encode their versions independently of the manifest.

   The version SHOULD be encoded as a semantic version, according to
   [semver].  There are several restrictions to these composition rules:
   alphanumeric pre-release indicators are not permitted.  Because suit-
   set-version is a machine-readable parameter for determining
   compatibility and because [semver] mandates that the build-number is
   ignored, build numbers SHOULD NOT be included.

   The composition of suit-set-version is the same as Section 4.4.

   If a build number is desired, it SHOULD be included via Section 3.4.

3.2.  suit-coswid

   A CoSWID can enable Software Bill-of-Materials use-cases.  A CoMID
   can enable monitoring of expected hardware.  A CoRIM (which may
   contain both CoSWID and CoMID) can enable both of these use-cases,
   but can also act as the transport for expected values to an
   attestation Verifier (see [RFC9334]).  Tightly coupling update and
   attestation ensures that verification infrastructure always knows
   what software to expect on each device.

   suit-coswid is a member of the suit-manifest.  It contains a Concise
   Software Identifier (CoSWID) as defined in [I-D.ietf-sacm-coswid].
   This element SHOULD be made severable so that it can be discarded by
   the Recipient or an intermediary if it is not required by the
   Recipient.

   suit-coswid typically requires no processing by the Recipient.
   However all Recipients MUST NOT fail if a suit-coswid is present.

   suit-coswid is RECOMMENDED to implement and RECOMMENDED to include in
   manifests.

   RFC EDITOR NOTE: Remove following 2 notes.

   *  NOTE: CoRIM comprises a list of CoSWIDs and a list of CoMIDs, so
      it may be preferable to a CoSWID.

   *  NOTE: CoMID may be a preferable alternative to Vendor ID/Class ID,
      however it consumes more bandwidth, so a UUID based on CoMID may
      be appropriate.

3.3.  text-version-required

   suit-text-version-required is used to represent a version-based
   dependency on suit-parameter-version as described in Section 4.4 and
   Section 5.5.  To describe a version dependency, a Manifest Author
   SHOULD populate the suit-text map with a SUIT_Component_Identifier
   key for the dependency component, and place in the corresponding map
   a suit-text-version-required key with a free text expression that is
   representative of the version constraints placed on the dependency.
   This text SHOULD be expressive enough that a device operator can be
   expected to understand the dependency.  This is a free text field and
   there are no specific formatting rules.

   By way of example only, to express a dependency on a component "['x',
   'y']", where the version should be any v1.x later than v1.2.5, but
   not v2.0 or above, the author would add the following structure to
   the suit-text element.  Note that this text is in cbor-diag notation.

   [h'78',h'79'] : {
       7 : ">=1.2.5,<2"
   }

3.4.  text-current-version

   suit-text-current-version is used to provide human-readable version
   information equivalent to Section 3.1.  This metadata MAY have a
   version listed for each or any component.  The Manifest Processor
   MUST NOT consume this version; it is for human readability only.

   To describe a version, a Manifest Author SHOULD populate the suit-
   text map with a SUIT_Component_Identifier key for the dependency
   component, and place in the corresponding map a suit-text-current-
   version key with a free text version that is representative of the
   version of the component.  This text SHOULD be expressive enough that
   a device operator can be expected to understand the version.  This is
   a free text field and there are no specific formatting rules.

   It is RECOMMENDED that the Manifest Author use a Semantic Version
   ([semver]) in the free-text field.  Unlike Section 3.1, the full
   semantic version specification can be used.

4.  Extension Parameters

   Several parameters are needed to define the behaviour of the commands
   specified in Section 5.  These parameters follow the same
   considerations as defined in Section 8.4.8 of
   [I-D.ietf-suit-manifest].

                                  Table 1

4.1.  suit-parameter-use-before

   An expiry date for the use of the manifest encoded as the positive
   integer number of seconds since 1970-01-01.  Implementations that use
   this parameter MUST use a 64-bit internal representation of the
   integer.  Used with Section 5.1.

4.2.  suit-parameter-minimum-battery

   This parameter sets the minimum battery level in mWh.  This parameter
   is encoded as a positive integer.  Used with suit-condition-minimum-
   battery (Section 5.3).

4.3.  suit-parameter-update-priority

   This parameter sets the priority of the update.  This parameter is
   encoded as an integer.  It is used along with suit-condition-update-
   authorized (Section 5.4) to ask an application for permission to
   initiate an update.  This does not constitute a privilege inversion
   because an explicit request for authorization has been provided by
   the Update Authority in the form of the suit-condition-update-
   authorized command.

Moran & Takayama         Expires 9 January 2025                 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft      SUIT Update Management Extensions          July 2024

   Applications MAY define their own meanings for the update priority.
   For example, critical reliability and vulnerability fixes might be
   given negative numbers, while bug fixes might be given small positive
   numbers, and feature additions might be given larger positive
   numbers, which allows an application to make an informed decision
   about whether and when to allow an update to proceed.

4.4.  suit-parameter-version

   Indicates allowable versions for the specified component.  One
   version comparison can be made with each suit-parameter-version.
   This parameter is compared with version asserted by the current
   component when suit-condition-version (Section 5.5) is invoked.  The
   current component may assert the current version in many ways,
   including storage in a parameter storage database, in a metadata
   object, or in a known location within the component itself.

   Each suit-parameter-version contains a comparison operator and a
   version, according to the following CDDL:

   SUIT_Parameter_Version_Match = [
       suit-condition-version-comparison-type:
           SUIT_Condition_Version_Comparison_Types,
       suit-condition-version-comparison-value:
           SUIT_Condition_Version_Comparison_Value
   ]

   The comparison type can be:

   *  Greater.

   *  Greater or Equal.

   *  Equal.

   *  Lesser or Equal.

   *  Lesser.

   The version comparison value is encoded as a CBOR list of integers.
   Comparisons are done on each integer in sequence.  Comparison stops
   after all integers in the list defined by the manifest have been
   consumed OR after an non-equal comparison has occurred.  For example,
   if the manifest defines a comparison, "Equal [1]", then this will
   match all version sequences starting with 1.  If a manifest defines
   both "Greater or Equal [1,0]" and "Lesser [1,10]", then it will match
   versions 1.0.x up to, but not including 1.10.

Internet-Draft      SUIT Update Management Extensions          July 2024

   suit-parameter-version is OPTIONAL to implement.

4.4.1.  suit-parameter-version Semantic Versioning encoding guidelines

   The encoded versions SHOULD be semantic versions (See [semver]).  For
   example,

   *  1.2.3 = [1,2,3].

   *  1.2-rc.3 = [1,2,-1,3].

   *  1.2-beta = [1,2,-2].

   *  1.2-alpha = [1,2,-3].

   *  1.2.3-alpha.4 = [1,2,3,-3,4].

   Versions SHOULD be composed of:

   1.  A release version encoded as a sequence of 1 to 3 positive
       integers

   2.  An optional pre-release indicator encoded as a negative integer,
       followed by zero or more positive integers

   While [semver] allows a build number, it mandates that the build
   number is ignored.  Because suit-parameter-version exists solely to
   enable the Manifest Processor to make a decision about version
   compatibility, build numbers SHOULD NOT be included.

   In [semver],

   1.  The first integer represents the major number.  This indicates
       breaking changes to the component.

   2.  The second integer represents the minor number.  This is
       typically reserved for new features or large, non-breaking
       changes.

   3.  The third integer is the patch version.  This is typically
       reserved for bug fixes.

   The pre-release indicator SHOULD NOT appear as element 0.  The pre-
   release indicator is encoded as:

   *  -1: Release Candidate

   *  -2: Beta

Moran & Takayama         Expires 9 January 2025                 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft      SUIT Update Management Extensions          July 2024

   *  -3: Alpha

   This allows these releases to compare correctly with final releases.
   For example, Version 2.0, RC1 should be lower than Version 2.0.0 and
   higher than any Version 1.x.  By encoding RC as -1, this works
   correctly: [2,0,-1,1] compares as lower than [2,0,0].  Similarly,
   beta (-2) is lower than RC and alpha (-3) is lower than RC.

4.5.  suit-parameter-wait-info

   suit-directive-wait (Section 5.6) directs the manifest processor to
   pause until a specified event occurs.  The suit-parameter-wait-info
   encodes the parameters needed for the directive.

   The exact implementation of the pause is implementation-defined.  For
   example, this could be done by blocking on a semaphore, registering
   an event handler and suspending the manifest processor, polling for a
   notification, or aborting the update entirely, then restarting when a
   notification is received.

   suit-parameter-wait-info is encoded as a map of wait events.  When
   ALL wait events are satisfied, the Manifest Processor continues.  The
   wait events currently defined are described in the following table.

   suit-wait-event-other-device-version reuses the encoding of suit-
   parameter-version-match.  It is encoded as a sequence that contains
   an implementation-defined bstr identifier for the other device, and a
   list of one or more SUIT_Parameter_Version_Match.

4.6.  suit-parameter-component-metadata

   In some instances, a system may need to know the file metadata for a
   component.  This metadata can include:

   *  creator

   *  creation time

   *  modification time

Moran & Takayama         Expires 9 January 2025                [Page 10]
Internet-Draft      SUIT Update Management Extensions          July 2024

   *  default permissions (rwx)

   *  a map of user/permission pairs

   *  a map of role/permission pairs

   *  a map of group/permission pairs

   *  file type

   Component metadata is applied at time of fetch, copy, or write; see
   [I-D.ietf-suit-manifest], sections 8.4.10.4, 8.4.10.5, 8.4.10.6.
   Therefore, the component metadata parameter must be set in advance of
   the component being fetched, copied into, or written.

4.6.1.  Creator

   Sometimes, management of file systems requires that the creator of
   each file is correctly recorded.  Because the default creator of
   files will be the update agent, this can obscure the actual creator
   of each file.  The Creator metadata element allows overriding the
   default behaviour and setting the correct creator.

   The creator is defined as follows:

   SUIT_meta_actor_id = UUID_Tagged / bstr / str / int
   UUID_Tagged = #6.37(bstr)

   The actor ID can be whatever is most appropriate for any given
   system.  For example, the actor ID might be a string (e.g.,
   username), integer (e.g., POSIX userid), or UUID (e.g., TEEP TA
   UUID).

4.6.2.  Creation & Modification Time

   The creation and modification times are defined by CBOR time types.
   These are defined in [RFC8949], Section 3.4.2.  The CBOR tag is
   REQUIRED when either creation or modification time are provided.

   suit-meta-modification-time => #6.1(uint)
   suit-meta-creation-time => #6.1(uint)

Internet-Draft      SUIT Update Management Extensions          July 2024

4.6.3.  Component Default Permissions

   Typical permissions management systems require read, write, and
   execute permissions that are applied to all users who do not have
   their own explicit permissions.  These are the default permissions
   for the current component.  Default permissions are described by the
   following CDDL:

   SUIT_meta_permissions = uint .bits SUIT_meta_permission_bits
   SUIT_meta_permission_bits = &(
       r: 2, w: 1, x: 0,
       * $$SUIT_meta_permission_bits_extensions
   )

4.6.4.  User, Role, Group permissions

   Many filesystems have users and groups.  Additionally some have
   roles.  Actors that have these associations can have specific
   permissions associated with them for each component.  Each of these
   sets of permissions is defined the same way: with a map of actor
   identifiers to permissions.

   SUIT_meta_permission_map = {
       + SUIT_meta_actor_id => SUIT_meta_permissions
   }

   The SUIT_meta_actor_id is the same as defined for Creator,
   Section 4.6.1.

4.6.5.  File Type

   File Type typically identifies whether a file is a directory, regular
   file, or symbolic link.  If not specified, File Type defaults to
   regular file.

   This enables specific management operations for SUIT command
   sequences:

   *  To create a directory

      -  Set the Component Index to the Component Identifier of the
         directory to be created

      -  Set the Component metadata, including the file type for
         directory

      -  Set suit-parameter-content to an empty bstr

Moran & Takayama         Expires 9 January 2025                [Page 12]
Internet-Draft      SUIT Update Management Extensions          July 2024

      -  Invoke suit-directive-write

   *  To create a symbolic link

      -  Set the Component Index to the Component Identifier of the link
         to be created

      -  Set the Component metadata, including the file type for
         symbolic link

      -  Set suit-parameter-content to the link target

      -  Invoke suit-directive-write

   For example, the following Payload Fetch & Install sequences will
   create a new /usr/local/bin directory, download https://cdn.example/
   example3.bin into a new file: /usr/local/bin/example3, then create a
   symlink at /usr/bin/example that points to /usr/local/bin/example3.

   *  Common has components for:

      -  /usr/bin/example

      -  /usr/local/bin

      -  /usr/local/bin/example3

   *  Payload fetch:

      -  set component index = 1

      -  set parameters:

         o  content = h''

         o  metadata = {file-type: directory}

      -  write

      -  set component index = 2

      -  set URI = "https://cdn.example/example3.bin"

      -  fetch

      -  condition image digest

   *  Install:

Internet-Draft      SUIT Update Management Extensions          July 2024

      -  set component index = 0

      -  set parameters:

         o  content = "/usr/local/bin/example3"

         o  metadata = {file-type: symlink}

      -  write

5.1.  suit-condition-use-before

   Verify that the current time is BEFORE the specified time. suit-
   condition-use-before is used to specify the last time at which an
   update should be installed.  The recipient evaluates the current time
   against the suit-parameter-use-before parameter (Section 4.1), which
   must have already been set as a parameter, encoded as seconds after
   1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC.  Timestamp conditions MUST be evaluated in
   64 bits, regardless of encoded CBOR size. suit-condition-use-before
   is OPTIONAL to implement.

Internet-Draft      SUIT Update Management Extensions          July 2024

5.2.  suit-condition-image-not-match

   Verify that the current component does not match the suit-parameter-
   image-digest (Section 8.4.8.6 of [I-D.ietf-suit-manifest]).  If no
   digest is specified, the condition fails. suit-condition-image-not-
   match is OPTIONAL to implement.

5.3.  suit-condition-minimum-battery

   suit-condition-minimum-battery provides a mechanism to test a
   Recipient's battery level before installing an update.  This
   condition is primarily for use in primary-cell applications, where
   the battery is only ever discharged.  For batteries that are charged,
   suit-directive-wait is more appropriate, since it defines a "wait"
   until the battery level is sufficient to install the update. suit-
   condition-minimum-battery is specified in mWh. suit-condition-
   minimum-battery is OPTIONAL to implement. suit-condition-minimum-
   battery consumes suit-parameter-minimum-battery (Section 4.2).

5.4.  suit-condition-update-authorized

   Request authorization from the application and fail if not
   authorized.  This can allow a user to decline an update. suit-
   parameter-update-priority (Section 4.3) provides an integer priority
   level that the application can use to determine whether or not to
   authorize the update.  Priorities are application defined. suit-
   condition-update-authorized is OPTIONAL to implement.

5.5.  suit-condition-version

   suit-condition-version allows comparing versions of firmware.
   Verifying image digests is preferred to version checks because
   digests are more precise. suit-condition-version examines a
   component's version against the version info specified in suit-
   parameter-version (Section 4.4).

5.6.  suit-directive-wait

   suit-directive-wait directs the manifest processor to pause until a
   specified event occurs.  Some possible events include:

   1.  Authorization

   2.  External power

   3.  Network availability

   4.  Other device firmware version

   5.  Time

   6.  Time of day

   7.  Day of week

5.7.  suit-directive-override-multiple

   This directive enables setting parameters for multiple components at
   the same time.  This allows a small reduction in encoding overhead:

   *  without override-multiple, the encoding for each component
      consists of:

      -  set-component-index (2 bytes)

      -  override-parameters (1 byte + parameter map)

   *  with override-multiple, the encoding for each component consists
      of:

      -  the component index key (1 byte)

      -  the parameter map

   Override-multiple requires the command (1-2 bytes) and one additional
   map to hold the parameter sets (1 byte).  For one component, there is
   no savings.  For multiple components, there is an encoding savings of
   2 bytes per component.

   Proper structuring of code should ensure that override-multiple
   follows a code-path nearly identical to set-component-index +
   override-parameters.

   This command is purely an encoding alias for set-component-index and
   override-parameters.  The component index is set to the last
   component listed in the override-multiple argument when override-
   multiple completes.

   The following CDDL defines the argument for suit-directive-override-
   multiple:

   CDDL SUIT_Override_Mult_Arg = { uint => {+ $$SUIT_Parameters} }

Internet-Draft      SUIT Update Management Extensions          July 2024

5.8.  suit-directive-copy-params

   suit-directive-copy-params enables a manifest author to specify one
   or more components to copy parameters from, and a list of parameters
   to copy from each specified source component.

   The behaviour is exactly the same as override parameters, but with
   parameter values defined in existing components.  Parameters are only
   copied between identical keys (no copying from URI to digest, for
   example).

   For each entry in the map, the manifest processor sets the source
   component to be the component identified by the index contained in
   the map key.  For each parameter identified in the copy list, the
   manifest processor copies the parameter from the source component to
   the current component.

   The following CDDL defines the argument for suit-directive-copy-
   params:

   CDDL SUIT_Directive_Copy_Params = { uint => [+ int] }

6.  IANA Considerations

   IANA is requested to:

   *  allocate key 14 in the SUIT Envelope registry for suit-coswid

   *  allocate key 14 in the SUIT Manifest registry for suit-coswid

   *  allocate key 7 in the SUIT Component Text registry for suit-text-
      version-required

   *  allocate the commands and parameters as shown in the following
      tables
