       An ACME Profile for Generating Delegated STAR Certificates
                   draft-ietf-acme-star-delegation-02

Abstract

   This memo proposes a profile of the ACME protocol that allows the
   owner of an identifier (e.g., a domain name) to delegate to a third
   party access to a certificate associated with said identifier.  A
   primary use case is that of a CDN (the third party) terminating TLS
   sessions on behalf of a content provider (the owner of a domain
   name).  The presented mechanism allows the owner of the identifier to
   retain control over the delegation and revoke it at any time by
   cancelling the associated STAR certificate renewal with the ACME CA.
   Another key property of this mechanism is it does not require any
   modification to the deployed TLS ecosystem.

1.  Introduction

   This document is a companion document to [I-D.ietf-acme-star].  To
   avoid duplication, we give here a bare-bones description of the
   motivation for this solution.  For more details and further use
   cases, please refer to the introductory sections of
   [I-D.ietf-acme-star].

   An Identifier Owner (IdO), that we can associate in the primary use
   case to a content provider (also referred to as Domain Name Owner,
   DNO), has agreements in place with one or more NDC (Name Delegation
   Consumer) to use and attest its identity.  In the primary use case,
   we consider a CDN provider contracted to serve the IdO content over
   HTTPS.  The CDN terminates the HTTPS connection at one of its edge
   cache servers and needs to present its clients (browsers, mobile
   apps, set-top-boxes) a certificate whose name matches the authority
   of the URL that is requested, i.e., that of the IdO.  Understandably,
   most IdOs balk at sharing their long-term private keys with another
   organization and, equally, delegates would rather not have to handle
   other parties' long-term secrets.

   Other relevant use cases are discussed in Section 4.

   This document describes a profile of the ACME protocol
   [I-D.ietf-acme-acme] that allows the NDC to request the IdO, acting
   as a profiled ACME server, a certificate for a delegated identity -
   i.e., one belonging to the IdO.  The IdO then uses the ACME protocol
   (with the extensions described in [I-D.ietf-acme-star]) to request
   issuance of a STAR certificate for the same delegated identity.  The
   generated short-term certificate is automatically renewed by the ACME
   Certification Authority (CA), periodically fetched by the NDC and
   used to terminate HTTPS connections in lieu of the IdO.  The IdO can
   end the delegation at any time by simply instructing the CA to stop
   the automatic renewal and letting the certificate expire shortly
   thereafter.

   In case the delegated identity is a domain name, this document also
   provides a way for the NDC to inform the IdO about the CNAME mappings
   that need to be installed in the IdO's DNS zone to enable the
   aliasing of the delegated name, thus allowing the complete name
   delegation workflow to be handled using a single interface.

1.1.  Terminology

   IdO  Identifier Owner, the owner of an identifier (e.g., a domain
      name) that needs to be delegated.

Internet-Draft            ACME STAR Delegation             February 2020


   DNO  Domain Name Owner, a specific kind of IdO whose identifier is a
      domain name
   NDC  Name Delegation Consumer, the entity to which the domain name is
      delegated for a limited time.  This is a CDN in the primary use
      case (in fact, readers may note the symmetry of the two acronyms).
   CDN  Content Delivery Network, a widely distributed network that
      serves the domain's web content to a wide audience at high
      performance.
   STAR  Short-Term, Automatically Renewed X.509 certificates.
   ACME  The IETF Automated Certificate Management Environment, a
      certificate management protocol.
   CA  A Certificate Authority that implements the ACME protocol.

   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

   capitals, as shown here.

2.  Protocol Flow

   This section presents the protocol flow.  For completeness, we
   include the ACME profile proposed in this draft as well as the
   extended ACME protocol described in [I-D.ietf-acme-star].

2.1.  Preconditions

   The protocol assumes the following preconditions are met:

   *  The IdO exposes an ACME server interface to the NDC(s) comprising
      the account management interface;
   *  The NDC has registered an ACME account with the IdO;
   *  NDC and IdO have agreed on a "CSR template" to use, including at a
      minimum: subject name (e.g., "somesite.example.com"), requested
      algorithms and key length, key usage, extensions (e.g.,
      TNAuthList).  The NDC is required to use this template for every
      CSR created under the same delegation;
   *  IdO has registered an ACME account with the Certificate Authority
      (CA)

   Note that even if the IdO implements the ACME server role, it is not
   acting as a CA: in fact, from the point of view of the certificate
   issuance process, the IdO only works as a "policing" forwarder of the
   NDC's key-pair and is responsible for completing the identity
   verification process towards the ACME CA.

2.2.  Overview

   The interaction between the NDC and the IdO is governed by the
   profiled ACME workflow detailed in Section 2.3.  The interaction
   between the IdO and the CA is ruled by ACME STAR [I-D.ietf-acme-star]
   as well as any other ACME extension that applies (e.g.,
   [I-D.ietf-acme-authority-token-tnauthlist] for STIR).

   The outline of the combined protocol is as follow (Figure 1):

   *  NDC sends an Order for the delegated identifier to IdO;
   *  IdO creates an Order resource in state "ready" with a "finalize"
      URL;
   *  NDC immediately sends a finalize request (which includes the CSR)
      to the IdO;
   *  IdO verifies the CSR according to the agreed CSR template;
   *  If the CSR verification fails, the Order is moved to an "invalid"
      state and everything stops;
   *  If the CSR verification is successful, IdO moves the Order to
      state "processing", and sends an Order' (using its own account)
      for the delegated identifier to the ACME STAR CA;
   *  If the ACME STAR protocol fails, Order' moves to "invalid" and the
      same state is reflected in the NDC Order;
   *  If the ACME STAR run is successful (i.e., Order' is "valid"), IdO
      copies the "star-certificate" URL from Order' to Order and moves
      its state "valid".

   The NDC can now download, install and use the certificate bearing the
   name delegated by the IdO.

   Note that, because the identity validation is suppressed, the NDC
   sends the finalize request, including the CSR, to the IdO immediately
   after the Order has been acknowledged.  The IdO must buffer a (valid)
   CSR until the Validation phase completes successfully.

2.3.  Delegated Identity Profile

2.3.1.  Order Object on the NDC-IdO side

   The Order object created by the NDC:

   *  MUST contain identifiers with the new "delegated" field set to
      true;
   *  MUST NOT contain the notBefore and notAfter fields;
   *  MAY contain any of the "recurrent-*" fields listed in
      Section 3.1.1 of [I-D.ietf-acme-star];
   *  In case the identifier type is "dns", it MAY contain a "cname"
      field with the alias of the identifier in the NDC domain.  This
      field is used by the IdO to create the DNS aliasing needed to
      redirect the resolvers to the delegated entity.

        }),
        "signature": "H6ZXtGjTZyUnPeKn...wEA4TklBdh3e454g"
      }

   The Order object that is created on the IdO:

   *  MUST start in the "ready" state;
   *  MUST contain an "authorizations" array with zero elements;
   *  MUST NOT contain the "notBefore" and "notAfter" fields.

   The IdO SHOULD copy any "recurrent-*" field from the NDC request into
   the related STAR request to the ACME CA.

   When the validation of the identifiers has been successfully
   completed and the certificate has been issued by the CA, the IdO:

   *  MUST move its Order resource status to "valid";
   *  MUST copy the "star-certificate" field from the STAR Order;

   The latter indirectly includes (via the NotBefore and NotAfter HTTP
   headers) the renewal timers needed by the NDC to inform its
   certificate reload logic.

      {
        "status": "valid",
        "expires": "2016-01-01T00:00:00Z",

        "identifiers": [
         {
           "type": "dns",
           "value": "abc.ndc.dno.example.",
           "delegated": true,

        "star-certificate": "https://acme.ca.example/acme/order/yTr23sSDg9"
      }

   If an "identifier" object of type "dns" was included, the IdO MUST
   validate the specified CNAME at this point in the flow.  The NDC and
   IdO may have a pre-established list of valid CNAME values.  At the
   minimum, the IdO MUST verify that both DNS names are syntactically
   valid.

   Following this validation, the IdO can add the CNAME records to its
   zone:

      abc.ndc.dno.example. CNAME abc.ndc.example.

2.3.2.  Order Object on the IdO-CA side

   When sending the Order to the ACME CA, the IdO SHOULD strip the
   "delegated" and "cname" attributes sent by the NDC (Section 2.3.1).
   The IdO MUST add the necessary STAR extensions to the Order.  In
   addition, to allow the NDC to download the certificate using
   unauthenticated GET, the IdO MUST add the recurrent-certificate-get
   attribute and set it to true.

2.3.3.  Capability Discovery

   In order to help a client to discover support for this profile, the
   directory object of an ACME server MUST contain the following
   attribute inside the "meta" field:

   *  star-delegation-enabled: boolean flag indicating support for the
      profile specified in this memo.  An ACME server that supports this
      delegation profile MUST include this key, and MUST set it to true.

2.3.4.  On Cancelation

   It is worth noting that cancelation of the ACME STAR certificate is a
   prerogative of the IdO.  The NDC does not own the relevant account
   key on the ACME CA, therefore it can't issue a cancelation request
   for the STAR cert.  Potentially, since it holds the STAR cert private
   key, it could request the revocation of a single STAR certificate.
   However, STAR explicitly disables the revokeCert interface.

3.  CSR Template

   The CSR template is used to express and constrain the shape of the
   CSR that the NDC uses to request the certificate.  The CSR is used
   for every certificate created under the same delegation.  Its
   validation by the IdO is a critical element in the security of the
   whole delegation mechanism.

   Instead of defining every possible CSR attribute, this document takes
   a minimalist approach by declaring only the minimum attribute set and
   deferring the registration of further, more specific, attributes to
   future documents.

3.1.  Template Syntax

   The template is a JSON document.  Each field denotes one of:

   *  A mandatory field, where the template specifies the literal value
      of that field.  This is denoted by a literal string, such as
      "client1.ndc.dno.example.com".

Internet-Draft            ACME STAR Delegation             February 2020


   *  A mandatory field, where the content of the field is defined by
      the client.  This is denoted by "**".
   *  An optional field, where the client decides whether the field is
      included in the CSR and what its value is.  This is denoted by
      "*".

   The NDC MUST NOT include in the CSR any fields that are not specified
   in the template, and in particular MUST NOT add any extensions unless
   those were previously negotiated out of band with the IdO.

   The mapping between X.509 CSR fields and the template will be defined
   in a future revision of this document.

   When the CSR is received by the IdO, it MUST verify that the CSR is
   consistent with the template that the IdO sent earlier.  The IdO MAY
   enforce additional constraints, e.g. by restricting field lengths.

3.2.  Example

4.  Further Use Cases

4.1.  CDNI

   [I-D.ietf-cdni-interfaces-https-delegation] discusses several
   solutions addressing different delegation requirements for the CDNI
   (CDN Interconnection) environment.  This section discusses two of the
   stated requirements in the context of the STAR delegation workflow.

4.1.1.  Multiple Parallel Delegates

   In some cases the content owner (IdO) would like to delegate
   authority over a web site to multiple NDCs (CDNs).  This could happen
   if the IdO has agreements in place with different regional CDNs for
   different geographical regions, or if a "backup" CDN is used to
   handle overflow traffic by temporarily altering some of the CNAME
   mappings in place.  The STAR delegation flow enables this use case
   naturally, since each CDN can authenticate separately to the IdO (via
   its own separate account) specifying its CSR, and the IdO is free to
   allow or deny each certificate request according to its own policy.

4.1.2.  Chained Delegation

   In other cases, a content owner (IdO) delegates some domains to a
   large CDN (uCDN), which in turn delegates to a smaller regional CDN,
   dCDN.  The DNO has a contractual relationship with uCDN, and uCDN has
   a similar relationship with dCDN.  However IdO may not even know
   about dCDN.

   The STAR protocol can be chained to support this use case: uCDN could
   forward requests from dCDN to DNO, and forward responses back to
   dCDN.  Whether such proxying is allowed is governed by policy and
   contracts between the parties.

   A mechanism is necessary at the interface between uCDN and dCDN by
   which the uCDN can advertise:

   *  The namespace that is made available to the dCDN to mint its
      delegated names;
   *  The policy for creating the key material (allowed algorithms,
      minimum key lengths, key usage, etc.) that the dCDN needs to
      satisfy.

   Note that such mechanism is provided by the CSR template.

4.2.  STIR

   As a second use case, we consider the delegation of credentials in
   the STIR ecosystem [I-D.ietf-stir-cert-delegation].

   In the STIR "delegated" model, a service provider, the NDC, needs to
   sign PASSPorT's [RFC8225] for telephone numbers (e.g., TN=+123)
   belonging to another service provider, the IdO.  In order to do that,
   it needs a STIR certificate, and private key, that includes TN=+123
   in the TNAuthList [RFC8226] cert extension.

   The STAR delegation profile described in this document applies
   straightforwardly, the only extra requirement being the ability to
   instruct the NDC about the allowed TNAuthList values.  This can be
   achieved by a simple extension of the CSR template.

6.  Security Considerations

6.1.  Restricting CDNs to the Delegation Mechanism

   When a web site is delegated to a CDN, the CDN can in principle
   modify the web site at will, create and remove pages.  This means
   that a malicious or breached CDN can pass the ACME (as well as common
   non-ACME) HTTPS-based validation challenges and generate a
   certificate for the site.  This is true regardless of whether the
   CNAME mechanisms defined in the current document is used or not.

Internet-Draft            ACME STAR Delegation             February 2020


   In some cases, this is the desired behavior: the domain owner trusts
   the CDN to have full control of the cryptographic credentials for the
   site.  The current document however assumes that the domain owner
   only wants to delegate restricted control, and wishes to retain the
   capability to cancel the CDN's credentials at a short notice.

   Following is the proposed solution where the IdO wishes to ensure
   that a rogue CDN cannot issue unauthorized certificates:

   *  The domain owner makes sure that the CDN cannot modify the DNS
      records for the domain.  The domain owner should ensure it is the
      only entity authorized to modify the DNS zone.  Typically, it
      establishes a CNAME resource record from a subdomain into a CDN-
      managed domain.
   *  The domain owner uses a CAA record [RFC6844] to restrict
      certificate issuance for the domain to specific CAs that comply
      with ACME and are known to implement [I-D.ietf-acme-caa].
   *  The domain owner uses the ACME-specific CAA mechanism
      [I-D.ietf-acme-caa] to restrict issuance to a specific account key
      which is controlled by it, and MUST require "dns-01" as the sole
      validation method.

   We note that the above solution may need to be tweaked depending on
   the exact capabilities and authorisation flows supported by the
   selected CAs.

Appendix B.  CSR Template Schema

   Following is a JSON Schema definition of the CSR template.  The
   syntax used is that of draft 7 of [[json-schema]], which may not be
   the latest version of the corresponding Internet Draft
   [I-D.handrews-json-schema] at the time of publication.

   While the CSR template must follow the syntax defined here, neither
