    A Profile for Source Origin Authorization (SOA) Service Profiles
                    draft-ren-sidrops-soa-profile-02

Abstract

   This document defines Source Origin Authorization (SOA), a new object
   in the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI), for publishing an
   AS-level service profile used by inter-AS source address protection
   services.  An SOA object is a digitally signed artifact that carries
   the publisher AS, its service role, a service descriptor, and the
   bootstrap information needed to authenticate a private
   synchronization channel, such as an endpoint address, an optional
   port, an optional protocol identifier, and a public key.  An SOA does
   not itself create a subscriber-provider service relation, authorize
   arbitrary protected prefixes, or carry legitimate predecessor AS
   sets.  A concrete service relation is established only after
   discovery, bilateral request validation, and provider acceptance.
   Routing-dependent data and subsequent updates are exchanged over the
   authenticated private channel rather than being stored in the RPKI
   repository.

1.  Introduction

   Source Address Validation (SAV) is essential for Internet security,
   ensuring that packets carry legitimate and verifiable source
   addresses and preventing spoofed traffic.

Ren, et al.             Expires 25 December 2026                [Page 2]
Internet-Draft            SOA Service Profiles                 June 2026

   Existing SAV solutions, such as IEF[RFC2827] and
   uRPF[RFC3704][RFC8704], face deployment challenges due to their
   "self-deployment, global benefit" nature.  Moreover, methods relying
   solely on local routing information suffer from two key limitations:

   1.  Spoofed traffic may already consume network resources before
       being filtered.

   2.  Reflection attacks can make spoofed packets appear legitimate by
       the time they reach the victim, rendering local SAV ineffective.

   To address these issues, *inter-AS collaboration* is critical.
   Sharing routing-dependent validation information enables upstream
   ASes to help with validation and early filtering, reducing spoofed
   traffic's impact.

   However, building trust and coordination among ASes is difficult,
   with key barriers being:

   *  The challenge of discovering and trusting peer ASes.

   *  The lack of effective mechanisms to express and enforce unilateral
      security needs.

   An authenticated, standardized publication substrate is needed to
   support trust bootstrap and service discovery.  The Resource Public
   Key Infrastructure (RPKI), as a global, open system for authenticated
   routing-related objects, can serve this stable bootstrap role.

   RPKI enables ASes to discover peers and authenticate published
   bootstrap information before coordinating source address validation
   over a separate channel.  This document does not use RPKI as a
   repository for routing-dependent predecessor state.

   While RPKI primarily supports routing security, it can also help
   secure the data plane.  A key component of SAV is determining the
   valid ingress direction for traffic from a given AS.  The SOA
   framework addresses this need by using RPKI as a trusted bootstrap
   layer and a private channel as the dynamic information layer.

   The SOA object leverages RPKI to publish only the minimum information
   needed to discover a service relationship and establish an
   authenticated private channel.  The legitimate predecessor ASes and
   their updates are exchanged over that private channel, which also
   helps avoid exposing provider-specific path data in public RPKI
   repositories.

Internet-Draft            SOA Service Profiles                 June 2026

   An SOA is generated by the AS that publishes a source-address-
   protection service profile.  A subscriber-role SOA advertises
   request-facing identity and channel parameters, while a provider-role
   SOA advertises service capability and channel parameters.  A concrete
   subscriber-provider service relation exists only after bilateral
   request validation and provider acceptance.  For detailed procedures,
   see [I-D.ren-sidrops-soa-usage].

1.1.  Requirements Language

   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.  Terminology

   This section defines the key terms used in this document.

   *Source Address Protection Service (SAPS)*: Refers to a service in
   which one AS (service provider) deploys source validation rules on
   its border routers to protect the IP addresses belonging to another
   AS (service subscriber) from being spoofed.  To further explain, the
   service provider filters those packets whose source addresses are
   spoofed to be the IP addresses belonging to the service subscriber.

   *IP Spoofing*: A malicious attacker forges the source IP address,
   setting it to the target IP to conduct network attacks.  Such packets
   may generate DDoS attack traffic against the target IP via reflection
   nodes or result in the target IP being incorrectly attributed as the
   source of malicious activity.  Thus, IP spoofing serves as a
   precursor to network attacks or misattribution.

   *Service Subscriber*: In the context of the Source Address Protection
   Service, this refers to the AS that requests the service and is being
   protected.

   *Service Provider*: In the context of the Source Address Protection
   Service, this refers to the AS that provides the service and protects
   other ASes.

   *SOA Service Profile*: An AS-level RPKI signed object that advertises
   a publisher's service role, service descriptor, endpoint, protocol
   hint, and channel public key.  It is not a pairwise subscriber-
   provider object and does not contain legitimate predecessor AS sets.

Ren, et al.             Expires 25 December 2026                [Page 4]
Internet-Draft            SOA Service Profiles                 June 2026

   *Accepted Service Relation*: A bilateral relation created after one
   party discovers the other party's SOA service profile, validates the
   RPKI object and advertised channel identity, checks local policy, and
   the provider accepts the service request.

3.  SOA Content-Type

   The content-type for an SOA is defined as sourceOriginAuthz and has
   an IANA-assigned numerical value of TBD.  This OID MUST appear both
   within the eContentType in the encapContentInfo object as well as the
   content-type signed attribute in the signerInfo object (see
   [RFC6488]).

4.  SOA eContent

   The content of an SOA identifies one AS-level service profile
   published by one AS.  The same profile structure is used for
   subscriber-role and provider-role profiles.  The object carries the
   publisher AS, the publisher's service role, a stable service
   descriptor, and the minimum channel bootstrap information needed to
   authenticate a private synchronization channel.  The SOA does not
   carry routing-dependent validation data such as the legitimate
   predecessor AS list, and it does not by itself create a subscriber-
   provider service relation.  If an ASN holder needs to publish
   multiple roles, capabilities, endpoints, or key epochs, it can issue
   multiple SOAs.  An SOA has the following data structure:

   +--------------------------------------+
   |         SOA Data Structure           |
   +------------------+-------------------+
   |   Publisher AS   |   Profile Role    |
   |    (Required)    |    (Required)     |
   +------------------+-------------------+
   | Service          |   Sync Endpoint   |
   | Descriptor       |   Address         |
   | (Required)       |   (Required)      |
   +------------------+-------------------+
   | Sync Port        |   Channel         |
   | (Optional)       |   Protocol        |
   |                  |   (Optional)      |
   +------------------+-------------------+
   |   Channel Public Key (Required)      |
   +------------------+-------------------+
   |   Profile Serial (Optional)          |
   +--------------------------------------+

   And an SOA is formally defined as:

   The publisherAS field identifies the AS that publishes the service
   profile.  The profileRole field identifies whether the profile is
   published in the subscriber role or the provider role.  The
   serviceDescriptor field identifies the service family or capability
   profile for which the SOA is intended.  The syncEndpoint field
   identifies the publisher-operated endpoint used during private-
   channel establishment.  The optional syncPort field identifies the
   transport-layer port for that endpoint.  The optional channelProtocol
   field identifies the private-channel protocol family.  If
   channelProtocol is absent, the protocol defaults to TLS[RFC8446].  If
   syncPort is absent, the default port for the selected protocol is
   used, as defined by a future specification or by bilateral deployment
   agreement.  The channelPublicKey field carries the public key bound
   to that endpoint and is used to authenticate the remote peer or
   validate key exchange material for the private channel.  The optional
   profileSerial field provides a profile epoch that can help peers
   identify rollover or rollback.  The encoding of the routing-dependent
   data exchanged over the private channel is out of scope for this
   document.

5.  Field Semantics and Encoding

   The publisherAS field identifies the AS whose service profile is
   being published.  The EE certificate used to sign the SOA MUST
   contain an AS resource that covers publisherAS.  An SOA whose signing
   EE certificate does not cover publisherAS is invalid.

   The profileRole field MUST be either subscriber or provider.  A
   relying party that is looking for a subscriber profile MUST reject a
   provider-role SOA for that lookup, and vice versa.

   The serviceDescriptor field MUST contain a lowercase ASCII service
   descriptor.  The descriptor identifies the service family and profile
   version understood by the peers.  Implementations MUST treat an empty
   descriptor, a descriptor longer than 64 octets, or a descriptor
   containing non-ASCII characters as invalid.

   The syncEndpoint field MUST contain either a 32-bit IPv4 address or a
   128-bit IPv6 address, encoded in network byte order.  Other lengths
   are invalid.

   If present, the syncPort field MUST contain a transport-layer port
   number in the inclusive range 1 to 65535.  If absent, the peer MUST
   use the default port for the selected protocol, as defined by a
   future specification or by bilateral deployment agreement.

   If present, the channelProtocol field MUST contain a lowercase ASCII
   protocol identifier.  The value "tls" identifies a private channel
   directly established using TLS[RFC8446].  Other values MAY be used as
   long as they preserve the same logical synchronization interface and
   security properties described in [I-D.ren-sidrops-soa-usage] or in a
   future specification that updates that usage.

   The channelPublicKey field MUST contain one and only one DER-encoded
   SubjectPublicKeyInfo value.  Implementations MUST treat malformed or
   algorithm-unknown values as invalid.  When channelProtocol is absent
   or set to "tls", this public key is used to authenticate the TLS peer
   identity by comparing it to the SubjectPublicKeyInfo of the TLS end-
   entity certificate presented by the remote peer.

   If present, the profileSerial field identifies the publisher's local
   profile epoch.  Peers MAY use this value to detect key or endpoint
   rollover.  A lower serial than the locally accepted profile serial is
   rollback evidence unless local policy or RPKI repository state proves
   otherwise.

Internet-Draft            SOA Service Profiles                 June 2026

   This document intentionally defines only the minimum bootstrap
   information required to authenticate the remote peer and locate the
   publisher-operated synchronization endpoint.  It does not attempt to
   encode routing state, evidence tags, message formats, failure-
   handling policy, or detailed transport-specific negotiation
   parameters in the SOA itself.

6.  SOA Validation

   Before a relying party can use SOA bootstrap information, the SOA
   MUST first be verified.  The relying party MUST perform all RPKI
   signed-object validation checks specified in [RFC6488], including
   certificate path validation, EE certificate validity, revocation
   status, manifest and repository consistency, and content-type
   matching.

   After normal RPKI signed-object validation succeeds, the relying
   party MUST parse the SOA eContent and reject the object if any
   required field is absent, malformed, duplicated contrary to the ASN.1
   structure, or inconsistent with the expected role.  The relying party
   MUST also verify that the validated EE certificate covers
   publisherAS.

   A subscriber can use a provider-role SOA for service discovery and
   capability screening.  A provider can use a subscriber-role SOA to
   authenticate the subscriber's advertised identity and channel
   parameters after a bilateral service request.  Neither SOA alone
   creates an accepted service relation or obligates the provider to
   install source-validation rules.

   Routing-dependent validation data learned over a private channel MUST
   NOT be used unless the remote peer has been authenticated against a
   currently valid SOA with the expected publisherAS, profileRole,
   serviceDescriptor, and channelPublicKey.  If the SOA expires, is
   withdrawn, is revoked, or is replaced by an SOA with incompatible
   bootstrap information, routing-dependent state learned only under the
   old bootstrap information becomes unavailable until the channel is
   re-authenticated and a fresh snapshot is received.

7.  Prefix Authorization Scope

   An SOA service profile does not by itself authorize any protected
   source prefix.  Prefix authorization is a separate step performed
   when a concrete subscriber-provider service relation is accepted or
   refreshed.

Ren, et al.             Expires 25 December 2026                [Page 8]
Internet-Draft            SOA Service Profiles                 June 2026

   When Traffic Origin Authorization (TOA)[I-D.qin-savnet-toa] objects
   are available, a valid TOA that covers the subscriber AS and the
   protected prefix is the preferred source of explicit traffic-origin
   authorization.  Until TOA or an equivalent traffic-origin
   authorization object is deployable, implementations MAY use a
   conservative ROA-match fallback: a prefix is accepted only if the
   subscriber AS is the authorized origin AS in a currently valid ROA
   for that prefix.  This fallback is a compatibility mechanism for the
   current RPKI ecosystem and does not assert that ROA has complete
   packet-source authorization semantics.

   If neither a valid TOA nor an accepted ROA-match fallback authorizes
   a prefix for the subscriber AS, the prefix is outside the effective
   protection scope of the accepted service relation, even if the
   subscriber's SOA service profile is otherwise valid.

8.  Operation Considerations

   SOA objects SHOULD remain stable and only be updated when the
   publisher's role, service descriptor, endpoint, synchronization port,
   selected protocol, channel public key, or profile serial changes.
   Routing changes and updates to legitimate predecessor AS information
   SHOULD be sent over the authenticated private channel, rather than
   causing frequent SOA reissuance in RPKI.

   Peers SHOULD implement periodic polling or change-detection
   mechanisms to promptly identify changes to SOA bootstrap information.
   After discovering a new or updated SOA for an accepted service
   relation, the peer SHOULD re-establish or re-authenticate the private
   channel before accepting subsequent routing-dependent updates.

   When the publisher changes the synchronization endpoint,
   synchronization port, selected protocol, or channel public key, it
   SHOULD maintain continuity long enough for accepted peers to retrieve
   and validate the new SOA and re-establish the private channel.  Once
   the new channel is authenticated, peers SHOULD discard any routing-
   dependent state learned solely from the old bootstrap information.

9.  Out of Scope

   This document does not define the private-channel message
   serialization, detailed TLS profile selection, evidence-tag policy,
   router-facing rule model, or the internal algorithm used by the
   subscriber to compute legitimate predecessor ASes.  Those operational
   semantics belong in usage documents or in future private-channel
   specifications.

   This document also does not define commercial policy, billing,
   service-level objectives, or how a provider decides whether to accept
   a subscriber's service request.

11.  Security Considerations

   Data in SOA is not assumed to be confidential; it is anticipated that
   SOAs will be stored in repositories accessible to all ISPs and
   potentially all Internet users.  For this reason, SOA intentionally
   contains only role, capability, endpoint, protocol, key, and profile-
   epoch information.  It does not carry detailed routing-dependent
   validation data, legitimate predecessor AS sets, or subscriber-
   specific protection policy.  Although SOA is a signed application-
   layer object, there is no intent to convey non-repudiation through
   it.

   The purpose of SOA is to authenticate an AS-level service profile and
   publish the bootstrap information needed to establish a private
   channel.  Therefore, the integrity and resource scope of SOA must be
   established before any peer uses it.  The SOA specification uses the
   RPKI signed-object format; thus, all security considerations
   discussed in [RFC6488] also apply to SOAs.  Additionally, the signed
   object profile uses the CMS signed message format for integrity, so
   SOAs inherit all security considerations associated with this data
   structure.

   An SOA does not prove that the publisher is authorized to originate
   traffic using a particular IP prefix.  Prefix authorization is
   checked separately.  Valid TOA objects, when available, provide
   explicit traffic-origin authorization.  A ROA-match rule can be used
   as a deployment-compatible fallback before TOA is widely available,
   but ROA authorizes route origination for destination-based routing
   and does not fully express packet-source authorization.
   Implementations that use the ROA-match fallback SHOULD document the
   residual false-positive and false-negative cases caused by this
   semantic gap.

   Accepted service relations remain conditional on both peers' relevant
   SOAs staying valid.  If a subscriber-role SOA or provider-role SOA is
   revoked, withdrawn, expired, or no longer validates for the expected
   AS and role, peers MUST stop accepting new routing-dependent state
   under that profile and MUST treat state learned solely under the
   invalid profile as unavailable until a new SOA is validated and the
   private channel is re-authenticated.

   The confidentiality, integrity, replay protection, and liveness of
   the routing-dependent data exchanged after bootstrap are provided by
   the private channel rather than by the SOA object itself.
   Implementations SHOULD ensure that the private channel authenticates
   the peer against the current channelPublicKey in the SOA and SHOULD
   discard stale routing updates when the corresponding SOA is
   withdrawn, replaced, or expires.

   Future specifications MAY define how authorization objects other than
   TOA or ROA are incorporated into SOA processing.  Such extensions are
   out of scope for this document.
