A Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR)-based Serialization Format
for the Software Updates for Internet of Things (SUIT) Manifest
draft-ietf-suit-manifest-17
Abstract
This specification describes the format of a manifest. A manifest is
a bundle of metadata about code/data obtained by a recipient (chiefly
the firmware for an IoT device), where to find the that code/data,
the devices to which it applies, and cryptographic information
protecting the manifest. Software updates and Trusted Invocation
both tend to use sequences of common operations, so the manifest
encodes those sequences of operations, rather than declaring the
metadata.

Internet-Draft CBOR-based SUIT Manifest April 2022
1. Introduction
A firmware update mechanism is an essential security feature for IoT
devices to deal with vulnerabilities. While the transport of
firmware images to the devices themselves is important there are
already various techniques available. Equally important is the
inclusion of metadata about the conveyed firmware image (in the form
of a manifest) and the use of a security wrapper to provide end-to-
end security protection to detect modifications and (optionally) to
make reverse engineering more difficult. End-to-end security allows
the author, who builds the firmware image, to be sure that no other
party (including potential adversaries) can install firmware updates
on IoT devices without adequate privileges. For confidentiality
protected firmware images it is additionally required to encrypt the
firmware image. Starting security protection at the author is a risk
mitigation technique so firmware images and manifests can be stored
on untrusted repositories; it also reduces the scope of a compromise
of any repository or intermediate system to be no worse than a denial
of service.
A manifest is a bundle of metadata describing one or more code or
data payloads and how to:
* Obtain any dependencies
* Obtain the payload(s)
* Install them
* Verify them
* Load them into memory
* Invoke them
This specification defines the SUIT manifest format and it is
intended to meet several goals:
* Meet the requirements defined in [RFC9124].
* Simple to parse on a constrained node
* Simple to process on a constrained node
* Compact encoding
* Comprehensible by an intermediate system
Moran, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft CBOR-based SUIT Manifest April 2022
* Expressive enough to enable advanced use cases on advanced nodes
* Extensible
The SUIT manifest can be used for a variety of purposes throughout
its lifecycle, such as:
* a Firmware Author to reason about releasing a firmware.
* a Network Operator to reason about compatibility of a firmware.
* a Device Operator to reason about the impact of a firmware.
* the Device Operator to manage distribution of firmware to devices.
* a Plant Manager to reason about timing and acceptance of firmware
updates.
* a device to reason about the authority & authenticity of a
firmware prior to installation.
* a device to reason about the applicability of a firmware.
* a device to reason about the installation of a firmware.
* a device to reason about the authenticity & encoding of a firmware
at boot.
Each of these uses happens at a different stage of the manifest
lifecycle, so each has different requirements.
It is assumed that the reader is familiar with the high-level
firmware update architecture [RFC9019] and the threats, requirements,
and user stories in [RFC9124].
The design of this specification is based on an observation that the
vast majority of operations that a device can perform during an
update or Trusted Invocation are composed of a small group of
operations:
* Copy some data from one place to another
* Transform some data
* Digest some data and compare to an expected value
* Compare some system parameters to an expected value
Moran, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft CBOR-based SUIT Manifest April 2022
* Run some code
In this document, these operations are called commands. Commands are
classed as either conditions or directives. Conditions have no side-
effects, while directives do have side-effects. Conceptually, a
sequence of commands is like a script but the language is tailored to
software updates and Trusted Invocation.
The available commands support simple steps, such as copying a
firmware image from one place to another, checking that a firmware
image is correct, verifying that the specified firmware is the
correct firmware for the device, or unpacking a firmware. By using
these steps in different orders and changing the parameters they use,
a broad range of use cases can be supported. The SUIT manifest uses
this observation to optimize metadata for consumption by constrained
devices.
While the SUIT manifest is informed by and optimized for firmware
update and Trusted Invocation use cases, there is nothing in the SUIT
Information Model ([RFC9124]) that restricts its use to only those
use cases. Other use cases include the management of trusted
applications (TAs) in a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), as
discussed in [I-D.ietf-teep-architecture].
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 standard.
* Payload: A piece of information to be delivered. Typically
Firmware for the purposes of SUIT.
* Resource: A piece of information that is used to construct a
payload.
* Manifest: A manifest is a bundle of metadata about the firmware
for an IoT device, where to find the firmware, and the devices to
which it applies.
Moran, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft CBOR-based SUIT Manifest April 2022
* Envelope: A container with the manifest, an authentication wrapper
with cryptographic information protecting the manifest,
authorization information, and severable elements.
* Update: One or more manifests that describe one or more payloads.
* Update Authority: The owner of a cryptographic key used to sign
updates, trusted by Recipients.
* Recipient: The system, typically an IoT device, that receives and
processes a manifest.
* Manifest Processor: A component of the Recipient that consumes
Manifests and executes the commands in the Manifest.
* Component: An updatable logical block of the Firmware, Software,
configuration, or data of the Recipient.
* Component Set: A group of interdependent Components that must be
updated simultaneously.
* Command: A Condition or a Directive.
* Condition: A test for a property of the Recipient or its
Components.
* Directive: An action for the Recipient to perform.
* Trusted Invocation: A process by which a system ensures that only
trusted code is executed, for example secure boot or launching a
Trusted Application.
* A/B images: Dividing a Recipient's storage into two or more
bootable images, at different offsets, such that the active image
can write to the inactive image(s).
* Record: The result of a Command and any metadata about it.
* Report: A list of Records.
* Procedure: The process of invoking one or more sequences of
commands.
* Update Procedure: A procedure that updates a Recipient by fetching
dependencies and images, and installing them.
Moran, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft CBOR-based SUIT Manifest April 2022
* Invocation Procedure: A procedure in which a Recipient verifies
dependencies and images, loading images, and invokes one or more
image.
* Software: Instructions and data that allow a Recipient to perform
a useful function.
* Firmware: Software that is typically changed infrequently, stored
in nonvolatile memory, and small enough to apply to [RFC7228]
Class 0-2 devices.
* Image: Information that a Recipient uses to perform its function,
typically firmware/software, configuration, or resource data such
as text or images. Also, a Payload, once installed is an Image.
* Slot: One of several possible storage locations for a given
Component, typically used in A/B image systems
* Abort: An event in which the Manifest Processor immediately halts
execution of the current Procedure. It creates a Record of an
error condition.

4. Background
Distributing software updates to diverse devices with diverse trust
anchors in a coordinated system presents unique challenges. Devices
have a broad set of constraints, requiring different metadata to make
appropriate decisions. There may be many actors in production IoT
systems, each of whom has some authority. Distributing firmware in
such a multi-party environment presents additional challenges. Each
party requires a different subset of data. Some data may not be
accessible to all parties. Multiple signatures may be required from
parties with different authorities. This topic is covered in more
depth in [RFC9019]. The security aspects are described in [RFC9124].
4.1. IoT Firmware Update Constraints
The various constraints of IoT devices and the range of use cases
that need to be supported create a broad set of requirements. For
example, devices with:
* limited processing power and storage may require a simple
representation of metadata.
* bandwidth constraints may require firmware compression or partial
update support.
Moran, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft CBOR-based SUIT Manifest April 2022
* bootloader complexity constraints may require simple selection
between two bootable images.
* small internal storage may require external storage support.
* multiple microcontrollers may require coordinated update of all
applications.
* large storage and complex functionality may require parallel
update of many software components.
* extra information may need to be conveyed in the manifest in the
earlier stages of the device lifecycle before those data items are
stripped when the manifest is delivered to a constrained device.
Supporting the requirements introduced by the constraints on IoT
devices requires the flexibility to represent a diverse set of
possible metadata, but also requires that the encoding is kept
simple.
4.2. SUIT Workflow Model
There are several fundamental assumptions that inform the model of
Update Procedure workflow:
* Compatibility must be checked before any other operation is
performed.
* In some applications, payloads must be fetched and validated prior
to installation.
There are several fundamental assumptions that inform the model of
the Invocation Procedure workflow:
* Compatibility must be checked before any other operation is
performed.
* All payloads must be validated prior to loading.
* All loaded images must be validated prior to execution.
Based on these assumptions, the manifest is structured to work with a
pull parser, where each section of the manifest is used in sequence.
The expected workflow for a Recipient installing an update can be
broken down into five steps:
1. Verify the signature of the manifest.
Moran, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft CBOR-based SUIT Manifest April 2022
2. Verify the applicability of the manifest.
3. Fetch payload(s).
4. Install payload(s).
When installation is complete, similar information can be used for
validating and running images in a further three steps:
1. Verify image(s).
2. Load image(s).
3. Run image(s).
If verification and running is implemented in a bootloader, then the
bootloader MUST also verify the signature of the manifest and the
applicability of the manifest in order to implement secure boot
workflows. The bootloader may add its own authentication, e.g. a
Message Authentication Code (MAC), to the manifest in order to
prevent further verifications.
5. Metadata Structure Overview
This section provides a high level overview of the manifest
structure. The full description of the manifest structure is in
Section 8.4
The manifest is structured from several key components:
1. The Envelope (see Section 5.1) contains the Authentication Block,
the Manifest, any Severable Elements, and any Integrated
Payloads.
2. The Authentication Block (see Section 5.2) contains a list of
signatures or MACs of the manifest..
3. The Manifest (see Section 5.3) contains all critical, non-
severable metadata that the Recipient requires. It is further
broken down into:
1. Critical metadata, such as sequence number.
2. Common metadata, such as affected components.
3. Command sequences, directing the Recipient how to install and
use the payload(s).
Moran, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft CBOR-based SUIT Manifest April 2022
4. Integrity check values for severable elements.
4. Severable elements (see Section 5.4).
5. Integrated payloads (see Section 5.5).

5.1. Envelope
The SUIT Envelope is a container that encloses the Authentication
Block, the Manifest, any Severable Elements, and any integrated
payloads. The Envelope is used instead of conventional cryptographic
envelopes, such as COSE_Envelope because it allows modular
processing, severing of elements, and integrated payloads in a way
that would add substantial complexity with existing solutions. See
Appendix C.1 for a description of the reasoning for this.
See Section 8.2 for more detail.
Moran, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft CBOR-based SUIT Manifest April 2022
5.2. Authentication Block
The Authentication Block contains a bstr-wrapped SUIT Digest
Container, see Section 10, and one or more [RFC8152] CBOR Object
Signing and Encryption (COSE) authentication blocks. These blocks
are one of:
* COSE_Sign_Tagged
* COSE_Sign1_Tagged
* COSE_Mac_Tagged
* COSE_Mac0_Tagged
Each of these objects is used in detached payload mode. The payload
is the bstr-wrapped SUIT_Digest.
See Section 8.3 for more detail.
5.3. Manifest
The Manifest contains most metadata about one or more images. The
Manifest is divided into Critical Metadata, Common Metadata, Command
Sequences, and Integrity Check Values.
See Section 8.4 for more detail.
5.3.1. Critical Metadata
Some metadata needs to be accessed before the manifest is processed.
This metadata can be used to determine which manifest is newest and
whether the structure version is supported. It also MAY provide a
URI for obtaining a canonical copy of the manifest and Envelope.
See Section 8.4.1, Section 8.4.2, and Section 8.4.3 for more detail.
5.3.2. Common
Some metadata is used repeatedly and in more than one command
sequence. In order to reduce the size of the manifest, this metadata
is collected into the Common section. Common is composed of two
parts: a list of components referenced by the manifest, and a command
sequence to execute prior to each other command sequence. The common
command sequence is typically used to set commonly used values and
perform compatibility checks. The common command sequence MUST NOT
have any side-effects outside of setting parameter values.
Moran, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 13]
Internet-Draft CBOR-based SUIT Manifest April 2022
See Section 8.4.5 for more detail.
5.3.3. Command Sequences
Command sequences provide the instructions that a Recipient requires
in order to install or use an image. These sequences tell a device
to set parameter values, test system parameters, copy data from one
place to another, transform data, digest data, and run code.
Command sequences are broken up into three groups: Common Command
Sequence (see Section 5.3.2), update commands, and secure boot
commands.
Update Command Sequences are: Payload Fetch, and Payload
Installation. An Update Procedure is the complete set of each Update
Command Sequence, each preceded by the Common Command Sequence.
Invocation Command Sequences are: System Validation, Image Loading,
and Image Invocation. An Invocation Procedure is the complete set of
each Invocation Command Sequence, each preceded by the Common Command
Sequence.
Command Sequences are grouped into these sets to ensure that there is
common coordination between dependencies and dependents on when to
execute each command (dependencies are not defined in this
specification).
See Section 8.4.6 for more detail.
5.3.4. Integrity Check Values
To enable Section 5.4, there needs to be a mechanism to verify
integrity of any metadata outside the manifest. Integrity Check
Values are used to verify the integrity of metadata that is not
contained in the manifest. This MAY include Severable Command
Sequences, or Text data. Integrated Payloads are integrity-checked
using Command Sequences, so they do not have Integrity Check Values
present in the Manifest.
See Section 8.4.11 for more detail.
5.3.5. Human-Readable Text
Text is typically a Severable Element (Section 5.4). It contains all
the text that describes the update. Because text is explicitly for
human consumption, it is all grouped together so that it can be
Severed easily. The text section has space both for describing the
manifest as a whole and for describing each individual component.
Moran, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 14]
Internet-Draft CBOR-based SUIT Manifest April 2022
See Section 8.4.4 for more detail.
5.4. Severable Elements
Severable Elements are elements of the Envelope (Section 5.1) that
have Integrity Check Values (Section 5.3.4) in the Manifest
(Section 5.3).
Because of this organisation, these elements can be discarded or
"Severed" from the Envelope without changing the signature of the
Manifest. This allows savings based on the size of the Envelope in
several scenarios, for example:
* A management system severs the Text sections before sending an
Envelope to a constrained Recipient, which saves Recipient
bandwidth.
* A Recipient severs the Installation section after installing the
Update, which saves storage space.
See Section 8.5 for more detail.
5.5. Integrated Payloads
In some cases, it is beneficial to include a payload in the Envelope
of a manifest. For example:
* When an update is delivered via a comparatively unconstrained
medium, such as a removable mass storage device, it may be
beneficial to bundle updates into single files.
* When a manifest transports a small payload, such as an encrypted
key, that payload may be placed in the manifest's envelope.
See Section 7.5 for more detail.
6. Manifest Processor Behavior
This section describes the behavior of the manifest processor and
focuses primarily on interpreting commands in the manifest. However,
there are several other important behaviors of the manifest
processor: encoding version detection, rollback protection, and
authenticity verification are chief among these.
Moran, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 15]
Internet-Draft CBOR-based SUIT Manifest April 2022
6.1. Manifest Processor Setup
Prior to executing any command sequence, the manifest processor or
its host application MUST inspect the manifest version field and fail
when it encounters an unsupported encoding version. Next, the
manifest processor or its host application MUST extract the manifest
sequence number and perform a rollback check using this sequence
number. The exact logic of rollback protection may vary by
application, but it has the following properties:
* Whenever the manifest processor can choose between several
manifests, it MUST select the latest valid, authentic manifest.
* If the latest valid, authentic manifest fails, it MAY select the
next latest valid, authentic manifest, according to application-
specific policy.
Here, valid means that a manifest has a supported encoding version
and it has not been excluded for other reasons. Reasons for
excluding typically involve first executing the manifest and may
include:
* Test failed (e.g. Vendor ID/Class ID).
* Unsupported command encountered.
* Unsupported parameter encountered.
* Unsupported Component Identifier encountered.
* Payload not available.
* Application crashed when executed.
* Watchdog timeout occurred.
* Payload verification failed.
* Missing required component from a Component Set.
* Required parameter not supplied.
These failure reasons MAY be combined with retry mechanisms prior to
marking a manifest as invalid.
Selecting an older manifest in the event of failure of the latest
valid manifest is a robustness mechanism that is necessary for
supporting the requirements in [RFC9019], section 3.5. It may not be
Moran, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 16]
Internet-Draft CBOR-based SUIT Manifest April 2022
appropriate for all applications. In particular Trusted Execution
Environments MAY require a failure to invoke a new installation,
rather than a rollback approach. See [RFC9124], Section 4.2.1 for
more discussion on the security considerations that apply to
rollback.
Following these initial tests, the manifest processor clears all
parameter storage. This ensures that the manifest processor begins
without any leaked data.
6.2. Required Checks
The RECOMMENDED process is to verify the signature of the manifest
prior to parsing/executing any section of the manifest. This guards
the parser against arbitrary input by unauthenticated third parties,
but it costs extra energy when a Recipient receives an incompatible
manifest.
When validating authenticity of manifests, the manifest processor MAY
use an ACL (see Section 9) to determine the extent of the rights
conferred by that authenticity.
Once a valid, authentic manifest has been selected, the manifest
processor MUST examine the component list and verify that its maximum
number of components is not exceeded and that each listed component
is supported.
For each listed component, the manifest processor MUST provide
storage for the supported parameters. If the manifest processor does
not have sufficient temporary storage to process the parameters for
all components, it MAY process components serially for each command
sequence. See Section 6.6 for more details.
The manifest processor SHOULD check that the common sequence contains
at least Check Vendor Identifier command and at least one Check Class
Identifier command.
Because the common sequence contains Check Vendor Identifier and
Check Class Identifier command(s), no custom commands are permitted
in the common sequence. This ensures that any custom commands are
only executed by devices that understand them.
If the manifest contains more than one component, each command
sequence MUST begin with a Set Component Index.
If a Recipient supports groups of interdependent components (a
Component Set), then it SHOULD verify that all Components in the
Component Set are specified by one update, that is the manifest:
Moran, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 17]
Internet-Draft CBOR-based SUIT Manifest April 2022
1. has sufficient permissions imparted by its signatures
2. specifies a digest and a payload for every Component in the
Component Set.
6.2.1. Minimizing Signature Verifications
Signature verification can be energy and time expensive on a
constrained device. MAC verification is typically unaffected by
these concerns. A Recipient MAY choose to parse and execute only the
SUIT_Common section of the manifest prior to signature verification,
if all of the below apply:
* The Authentication Block contains a COSE_Sign_Tagged or
COSE_Sign1_Tagged
* The Recipient receives manifests over an unauthenticated channel,
exposing it to more inauthentic or incompatible manifests, and
* The Recipient has a power budget that makes signature verification
undesirable
When executing Common prior to authenticity validation, the Manifest
Processor MUST first evaluate the integrity of the manifest using the
SUIT_Digest present in the authentication block.
The guidelines in Creating Manifests (Section 7) require that the
common section contains the applicability checks, so this section is
sufficient for applicability verification. The parser MUST restrict
acceptable commands to conditions and the following directives:
Override Parameters, Set Parameters, Try Each, and Run Sequence ONLY.
The manifest parser MUST NOT execute any command with side-effects
outside the parser (for example, Run, Copy, Swap, or Fetch commands)
prior to authentication and any such command MUST Abort. The Common
Sequence MUST be executed again, in its entirety, after authenticity
validation.
A Recipient MAY rely on network infrastructure to filter inapplicable
manifests.
6.3. Interpreter Fundamental Properties
The interpreter has a small set of design goals:
1. Executing an update MUST either result in an error, or a
verifiably correct system state.
Moran, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 18]
Internet-Draft CBOR-based SUIT Manifest April 2022
2. Executing a Trusted Invocation MUST either result in an error, or
an invoked image.
3. Executing the same manifest on multiple Recipients MUST result in
the same system state.
NOTE: when using A/B images, the manifest functions as two (or more)
logical manifests, each of which applies to a system in a particular
starting state. With that provision, design goal 3 holds.
6.4. Abstract Machine Description
The heart of the manifest is the list of commands, which are
processed by a Manifest Processor--a form of interpreter. This
Manifest Processor can be modeled as a simple abstract machine. This
machine consists of several data storage locations that are modified
by commands.
There are two types of commands, namely those that modify state
(directives) and those that perform tests (conditions). Parameters
are used as the inputs to commands. Some directives offer control
flow operations. Directives target a specific component. A
component is a unit of code or data that can be targeted by an
update. Components are identified by Component Identifiers, but
referenced in commands by Component Index; Component Identifiers are
arrays of binary strings and a Component Index is an index into the
array of Component Identifiers.
Conditions MUST NOT have any side-effects other than informing the
interpreter of success or failure. The Interpreter does not Abort if
the Soft Failure flag (Section 8.4.8.14) is set when a Condition
reports failure.
Directives MAY have side-effects in the parameter table, the
interpreter state, or the current component. The Interpreter MUST
Abort if a Directive reports failure regardless of the Soft Failure
flag.
To simplify the logic describing the command semantics, the object
"current" is used. It represents the component identified by the
Component Index:
current := components\[component-index\]
As a result, Set Component Index is described as current :=
components[arg].
Moran, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 19]
Internet-Draft CBOR-based SUIT Manifest April 2022
The following table describes the behavior of each command. "params"
represents the parameters for the current component. Most commands
operate on a component.
+=========================+======================================+

Table 1
6.5. Special Cases of Component Index
Component Index can take on one of three types:
1. Integer
2. Array of integers
3. True
Integers MUST always be supported by Set Component Index. Arrays of
integers MUST be supported by Set Component Index if the Recipient
supports 3 or more components. True MUST be supported by Set
Component Index if the Recipient supports 2 or more components. Each
of these operates on the list of components declared in the manifest.
Integer indices are the default case as described in the previous
section. An array of integers represents a list of the components
(Set Component Index) to which each subsequent command applies. The
value True replaces the list of component indices with the full list
of components, as defined in the manifest.
When a command is executed, it either 1. operates on the component
identified by the component index if that index is an integer, or 2.
it operates on each component identified by an array of indicies, or
3. it operates on every component if the index is the boolean True.
This is described by the following pseudocode:
if component-index is true:
current-list = components
else if component-index is array:
current-list = [ components[idx] for idx in component-index ]
else:
current-list = [ components[component-index] ]
for current in current-list:
cmd(current)
Moran, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 21]
Internet-Draft CBOR-based SUIT Manifest April 2022
Try Each and Run Sequence are affected in the same way as other
commands: they are invoked once for each possible Component. This
means that the sequences that are arguments to Try Each and Run
Sequence are NOT invoked with Component Index = True, nor are they
invoked with array indices. They are only invoked with integer
indices. The interpreter loops over the whole sequence, setting the
Component Index to each index in turn.
6.6. Serialized Processing Interpreter
In highly constrained devices, where storage for parameters is
limited, the manifest processor MAY handle one component at a time,
traversing the manifest tree once for each listed component. In this
mode, the interpreter ignores any commands executed while the
component index is not the current component. This reduces the
overall volatile storage required to process the update so that the
only limit on number of components is the size of the manifest.
However, this approach requires additional processing power.
In order to operate in this mode, the manifest processor loops on
each section for every supported component, simply ignoring commands
when the current component is not selected.
When a serialized Manifest Processor encounters a component index of
True, it does not ignore any commands. It applies them to the
current component on each iteration.
6.7. Parallel Processing Interpreter
Advanced Recipients MAY make use of the Strict Order parameter and
enable parallel processing of some Command Sequences, or it may
reorder some Command Sequences. To perform parallel processing, once
the Strict Order parameter is set to False, the Recipient may issue
each or every command concurrently until the Strict Order parameter
is returned to True or the Command Sequence ends. Then, it waits for
all issued commands to complete before continuing processing of
commands. To perform out-of-order processing, a similar approach is
used, except the Recipient consumes all commands after the Strict
Order parameter is set to False, then it sorts these commands into
its preferred order, invokes them all, then continues processing.
When the manifest processor encounters any of these scenarios the
parallel processing MUST halt until all issued commands have
completed:
* Set Parameters.
* Override Parameters.
Moran, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 22]
Internet-Draft CBOR-based SUIT Manifest April 2022
* Set Strict Order = True.
* Set Component Index.
To perform more useful parallel operations, a manifest author may
collect sequences of commands in a Run Sequence command. Then, each
of these sequences MAY be run in parallel. Each sequence defaults to
Strict Order = True. To isolate each sequence from each other
sequence, each sequence MUST begin with a Set Component Index
directive with the following exception: when the index is either True
or an array of indices, the Set Component Index is implied. Any
further Set Component Index directives MUST cause an Abort. This
allows the interpreter that issues Run Sequence commands to check
that the first element is correct, then issue the sequence to a
parallel execution context to handle the remainder of the sequence.
7. Creating Manifests
Manifests are created using tools for constructing COSE structures,
calculating cryptographic values and compiling desired system state
into a sequence of operations required to achieve that state. The
process of constructing COSE structures and the calculation of
cryptographic values is covered in [RFC8152].
Compiling desired system state into a sequence of operations can be
accomplished in many ways. Several templates are provided below to
cover common use-cases. These templates can be combined to produce
more complex behavior.
The author MUST ensure that all parameters consumed by a command are
set prior to invoking that command. Where Component Index = True,
this means that the parameters consumed by each command MUST have
been set for each Component.
This section details a set of templates for creating manifests.
These templates explain which parameters, commands, and orders of
commands are necessary to achieve a stated goal.
NOTE: On systems that support only a single component, Set Component
Index has no effect and can be omitted.
NOTE: *A digest MUST always be set using Override Parameters.*
7.1. Compatibility Check Template
The goal of the compatibility check template ensure that Recipients
only install compatible images.
Moran, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 23]
Internet-Draft CBOR-based SUIT Manifest April 2022
In this template all information is contained in the common sequence
and the following sequence of commands is used:
* Set Component Index directive (see Section 8.4.10.1)
* Override Parameters directive (see Section 8.4.10.3) for Vendor ID
and Class ID (see Section 8.4.8)
* Check Vendor Identifier condition (see Section 8.4.8.2)
* Check Class Identifier condition (see Section 8.4.8.2)
7.2. Trusted Invocation Template
The goal of the Trusted Invocation template is to ensure that only
authorized code is invoked; such as in Secure Boot or when a Trusted
Application is loaded into a TEE.
The following commands are placed into the common sequence:
* Set Component Index directive (see Section 8.4.10.1)
* Override Parameters directive (see Section 8.4.10.3) for Image
Digest and Image Size (see Section 8.4.8)
The system validation sequence contains the following commands:
* Set Component Index directive (see Section 8.4.10.1)
* Check Image Match condition (see Section 8.4.9.2)
Then, the run sequence contains the following commands:
* Set Component Index directive (see Section 8.4.10.1)
* Run directive (see Section 8.4.10.7)
7.3. Component Download Template
The goal of the Component Download template is to acquire and store
an image.
The following commands are placed into the common sequence:
* Set Component Index directive (see Section 8.4.10.1)
* Override Parameters directive (see Section 8.4.10.3) for Image
Digest and Image Size (see Section 8.4.8)
Moran, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 24]
Internet-Draft CBOR-based SUIT Manifest April 2022
Then, the install sequence contains the following commands:
* Set Component Index directive (see Section 8.4.10.1)
* Override Parameters directive (see Section 8.4.10.3) for URI (see
Section 8.4.8.9)
* Fetch directive (see Section 8.4.10.4)
* Check Image Match condition (see Section 8.4.9.2)
The Fetch directive needs the URI parameter to be set to determine
where the image is retrieved from. Additionally, the destination of
where the component shall be stored has to be configured. The URI is
configured via the Set Parameters directive while the destination is
configured via the Set Component Index directive.
7.4. Install Template
The goal of the Install template is to use an image already stored in
an identified component to copy into a second component.
This template is typically used with the Component Download template,
however a modification to that template is required: the Component
Download operations are moved from the Payload Install sequence to
the Payload Fetch sequence.
Then, the install sequence contains the following commands:
* Set Component Index directive (see Section 8.4.10.1)
* Override Parameters directive (see Section 8.4.10.3) for Source
Component (see Section 8.4.8.10)
* Copy directive (see Section 8.4.10.5)
* Check Image Match condition (see Section 8.4.9.2)
7.5. Integrated Payload Template
The goal of the Integrated Payload template is to install a payload
that is included in the manifest envelope. It is identical to the
Component Download template (Section 7.3).
An implementer MAY choose to place a payload in the envelope of a
manifest. The payload envelope key MUST be a string. The payload
MUST be serialized in a bstr element.
Moran, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 25]
Internet-Draft CBOR-based SUIT Manifest April 2022
The URI for a payload enclosed in this way MAY be expressed as a
fragment-only reference, as defined in [RFC3986], Section 4.4.
A distributor MAY choose to pre-fetch a payload and add it to the
manifest envelope, using the URI as the key.
7.6. Load from Nonvolatile Storage Template
The goal of the Load from Nonvolatile Storage template is to load an
image from a non-volatile component into a volatile component, for
example loading a firmware image from external Flash into RAM.
The following commands are placed into the load sequence:
* Set Component Index directive (see Section 8.4.10.1)
* Override Parameters directive (see Section 8.4.10.3) for Source
Component (see Section 8.4.8)
* Copy directive (see Section 8.4.10.5)
As outlined in Section 6.4, the Copy directive needs a source and a
destination to be configured. The source is configured via Component
Index (with the Set Parameters directive) and the destination is
configured via the Set Component Index directive.
7.7. A/B Image Template
The goal of the A/B Image Template is to acquire, validate, and
invoke one of two images, based on a test.
The following commands are placed in the common block:
* Set Component Index directive (see Section 8.4.10.1)
* Try Each
- First Sequence:
o Override Parameters directive (see Section 8.4.10.3,
Section 8.4.8) for Slot A
o Check Slot Condition (see Section 8.4.9.3)
o Override Parameters directive (see Section 8.4.10.3) for
Image Digest A and Image Size A (see Section 8.4.8)
- Second Sequence:
Moran, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 26]
Internet-Draft CBOR-based SUIT Manifest April 2022
o Override Parameters directive (see Section 8.4.10.3,
Section 8.4.8) for Slot B
o Check Slot Condition (see Section 8.4.9.3)
o Override Parameters directive (see Section 8.4.10.3) for
Image Digest B and Image Size B (see Section 8.4.8)
The following commands are placed in the fetch block or install block
* Set Component Index directive (see Section 8.4.10.1)
* Try Each
- First Sequence:
o Override Parameters directive (see Section 8.4.10.3,
Section 8.4.8) for Slot A
o Check Slot Condition (see Section 8.4.9.3)
o Set Parameters directive (see Section 8.4.10.3) for URI A
(see Section 8.4.8)
- Second Sequence:
o Override Parameters directive (see Section 8.4.10.3,
Section 8.4.8) for Slot B
o Check Slot Condition (see Section 8.4.9.3)
o Set Parameters directive (see Section 8.4.10.3) for URI B
(see Section 8.4.8)
* Fetch
If Trusted Invocation (Section 7.2) is used, only the run sequence is
added to this template, since the common sequence is populated by
this template:
* Set Component Index directive (see Section 8.4.10.1)
* Try Each
- First Sequence:
o Override Parameters directive (see Section 8.4.10.3,
Section 8.4.8) for Slot A
Moran, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 27]
Internet-Draft CBOR-based SUIT Manifest April 2022
o Check Slot Condition (see Section 8.4.9.3)
- Second Sequence:
o Override Parameters directive (see Section 8.4.10.3,
Section 8.4.8) for Slot B
o Check Slot Condition (see Section 8.4.9.3)
* Run
NOTE: Any test can be used to select between images, Check Slot
Condition is used in this template because it is a typical test for
execute-in-place devices.
8. Metadata Structure
The metadata for SUIT updates is composed of several primary
constituent parts: the Envelope, Authentication Information,
Manifest, and Severable Elements.
For a diagram of the metadata structure, see Section 5.
8.1. Encoding Considerations
The map indices in the envelope encoding are reset to 1 for each map
within the structure. This is to keep the indices as small as
possible. The goal is to keep the index objects to single bytes
(CBOR positive integers 1-23).
Wherever enumerations are used, they are started at 1. This allows
detection of several common software errors that are caused by
uninitialized variables. Positive numbers in enumerations are
reserved for IANA registration. Negative numbers are used to
identify application-specific values, as described in Section 11.
All elements of the envelope must be wrapped in a bstr to minimize
the complexity of the code that evaluates the cryptographic integrity
of the element and to ensure correct serialization for integrity and
authenticity checks.
8.2. Envelope
The Envelope contains each of the other primary constituent parts of
the SUIT metadata. It allows for modular processing of the manifest
by ordering components in the expected order of processing.
Moran, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 28]
Internet-Draft CBOR-based SUIT Manifest April 2022
The Envelope is encoded as a CBOR Map. Each element of the Envelope
is enclosed in a bstr, which allows computation of a message digest
against known bounds.
8.3. Authenticated Manifests
The suit-authentication-wrapper contains a SUIT Digest Container (see
Section 10) and one or more SUIT Authentication Blocks. The
SUIT_Digest carries the result of computing the indicated hash
algorithm over the suit-manifest element. A signing application MUST
verify the suit-manifest element against the SUIT_Digest prior to
signing. A SUIT Authentication Block is implemented as
COSE_Mac_Tagged, COSE_Mac0_Tagged, COSE_Sign_Tagged or
COSE_Sign1_Tagged structures with detached payloads, as described in
RFC 8152 [RFC8152].
For COSE_Sign and COSE_Sign1 a special signature structure (called
Sig_structure) has to be created onto which the selected digital
signature algorithm is applied to, see Section 4.4 of [RFC8152] for
details. This specification requires Sig_structure to be populated
as follows: * The external_aad field MUST be set to a zero-length
binary string (i.e. there is no external additional authenticated
data). * The payload field contains the SUIT_Digest wrapped in a
bstr, as per the requirements in Section 4.4 of RFC 8152. All other
fields in the Sig_structure are populated as described in Section 4.4
of [RFC8152].
Likewise, Section 6.3 of [RFC8152] describes the details for
computing a MAC and the fields of the MAC_structure need to be
populated. The rules for external_aad and the payload fields
described in the paragraph above also apply to this structure.
The suit-authentication-wrapper MUST come before the suit-manifest
element, regardless of canonical encoding of CBOR.
A SUIT_Envelope that has not had authentication information added
MUST still contain the suit-authentication-wrapper element, but the
content MUST be a list containing only the SUIT_Digest.
8.4. Manifest
The manifest contains:
* a version number (see Section 8.4.1)
* a sequence number (see Section 8.4.2)
* a reference URI (see Section 8.4.3)
Moran, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 29]
Internet-Draft CBOR-based SUIT Manifest April 2022
* a common structure with information that is shared between command
sequences (see Section 8.4.5)
* one or more lists of commands that the Recipient should perform
(see Section 8.4.6)
* a reference to the full manifest (see Section 8.4.3)
* human-readable text describing the manifest found in the
SUIT_Envelope (see Section 8.4.4)
The Text section, or any Command Sequence of the Update Procedure
(Image Fetch, Image Installation) can be either a CBOR structure or a
SUIT_Digest. In each of these cases, the SUIT_Digest provides for a
severable element. Severable elements are RECOMMENDED to implement.
In particular, the human-readable text SHOULD be severable, since
most useful text elements occupy more space than a SUIT_Digest, but
are not needed by the Recipient. Because SUIT_Digest is a CBOR Array
and each severable element is a CBOR bstr, it is straight-forward for
a Recipient to determine whether an element has been severed. The
key used for a severable element is the same in the SUIT_Manifest and
in the SUIT_Envelope so that a Recipient can easily identify the
correct data in the envelope. See Section 8.4.11 for more detail.
8.4.1. suit-manifest-version
The suit-manifest-version indicates the version of serialization used
to encode the manifest. Version 1 is the version described in this
document. suit-manifest-version is REQUIRED to implement.
8.4.2. suit-manifest-sequence-number
The suit-manifest-sequence-number is a monotonically increasing anti-
rollback counter. Each Recipient MUST reject any manifest that has a
sequence number lower than its current sequence number. For
convenience, an implementer MAY use a UTC timestamp in seconds as the
sequence number. suit-manifest-sequence-number is REQUIRED to
implement.
8.4.3. suit-reference-uri
suit-reference-uri is a text string that encodes a URI where a full
version of this manifest can be found. This is convenient for
allowing management systems to show the severed elements of a
manifest when this URI is reported by a Recipient after installation.
Moran, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 30]
Internet-Draft CBOR-based SUIT Manifest April 2022
8.4.4. suit-text
suit-text SHOULD be a severable element. suit-text is a map
containing two different types of pair:
* integer => text
* SUIT_Component_Identifier => map
Each SUIT_Component_Identifier => map entry contains a map of integer
=> text values. All SUIT_Component_Identifiers present in suit-text
MUST also be present in suit-common (Section 8.4.5).
suit-text contains all the human-readable information that describes
any and all parts of the manifest, its payload(s) and its
resource(s). The text section is typically severable, allowing
manifests to be distributed without the text, since end-nodes do not
require text. The meaning of each field is described below.
Each section MAY be present. If present, each section MUST be as
described. Negative integer IDs are reserved for application-
specific text values.
The following table describes the text fields available in suit-text:

suit-text is OPTIONAL to implement.
8.4.5. suit-common
suit-common encodes all the information that is shared between each
of the command sequences, including: suit-components, and suit-
common-sequence. suit-common is REQUIRED to implement.
suit-components is a list of SUIT_Component_Identifier
(Section 8.4.5.1) blocks that specify the component identifiers that
will be affected by the content of the current manifest. suit-
components is REQUIRED to implement.
suit-common-sequence is a SUIT_Command_Sequence to execute prior to
executing any other command sequence. Typical actions in suit-
common-sequence include setting expected Recipient identity and image
digests when they are conditional (see Section 8.4.10.2 and
Section 7.7 for more information on conditional sequences). suit-
common-sequence is RECOMMENDED to implement. It is REQUIRED if the
optimizations described in Section 6.2.1 will be used. Whenever a
parameter or Try Each command is required by more than one Command
Sequence, placing that parameter or command in suit-common-sequence
results in a smaller encoding.

Internet-Draft CBOR-based SUIT Manifest April 2022
8.4.5.1. SUIT_Component_Identifier
A component is a unit of code or data that can be targeted by an
update. To facilitate composite devices, components are identified
by a list of CBOR byte strings, which allows construction of
hierarchical component structures. Components are identified by
Component Identifiers, but referenced in commands by Component Index;
Component Identifiers are arrays of binary strings and a Component
Index is an index into the array of Component Identifiers.
A Component Identifier can be trivial, such as the simple array
[h'00']. It can also represent a filesystem path by encoding each
segment of the path as an element in the list. For example, the path
"/usr/bin/env" would encode to ['usr','bin','env'].
This hierarchical construction allows a component identifier to
identify any part of a complex, multi-component system.
8.4.6. SUIT_Command_Sequence
A SUIT_Command_Sequence defines a series of actions that the
Recipient MUST take to accomplish a particular goal. These goals are
defined in the manifest and include:
1. Payload Fetch: suit-payload-fetch is a SUIT_Command_Sequence to
execute in order to obtain a payload. Some manifests may include
these actions in the suit-install section instead if they operate
in a streaming installation mode. This is particularly relevant
for constrained devices without any temporary storage for staging
the update. suit-payload-fetch is OPTIONAL to implement.
2. Payload Installation: suit-install is a SUIT_Command_Sequence to
execute in order to install a payload. Typical actions include
verifying a payload stored in temporary storage, copying a staged
payload from temporary storage, and unpacking a payload. suit-
install is OPTIONAL to implement.
3. Image Validation: suit-validate is a SUIT_Command_Sequence to
execute in order to validate that the result of applying the
update is correct. Typical actions involve image validation.
suit-validate is REQUIRED to implement.
4. Image Loading: suit-load is a SUIT_Command_Sequence to execute in
order to prepare a payload for execution. Typical actions
include copying an image from permanent storage into RAM,
optionally including actions such as decryption or decompression.
suit-load is OPTIONAL to implement.
Moran, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 33]
Internet-Draft CBOR-based SUIT Manifest April 2022
5. Run or Boot: suit-run is a SUIT_Command_Sequence to execute in
order to run an image. suit-run typically contains a single
instruction: the "run" directive. suit-run is OPTIONAL to
implement.
Goals 1,2 form the Update Procedure. Goals 4,5,6 form the Invocation
Procedure.
Each Command Sequence follows exactly the same structure to ensure
that the parser is as simple as possible.
Lists of commands are constructed from two kinds of element:
1. Conditions that MUST be true and any failure is treated as a
failure of the update/load/invocation
2. Directives that MUST be executed.
Each condition is composed of:
1. A command code identifier
2. A SUIT_Reporting_Policy (Section 8.4.7)
Each directive is composed of:
1. A command code identifier
2. An argument block or a SUIT_Reporting_Policy (Section 8.4.7)
Argument blocks are consumed only by flow-control directives:
* Set Component Index
* Set/Override Parameters
* Try Each
* Run Sequence
Reporting policies provide a hint to the manifest processor of
whether to add the success or failure of a command to any report that
it generates.
Moran, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 34]
Internet-Draft CBOR-based SUIT Manifest April 2022
Many conditions and directives apply to a given component, and these
generally grouped together. Therefore, a special command to set the
current component index is provided. This index is a numeric index
into the Component Identifier table defined at the beginning of the
manifest.
To facilitate optional conditions, a special directive, suit-
directive-try-each (Section 8.4.10.2), is provided. It runs several
new lists of conditions/directives, one after another, that are
contained as an argument to the directive. By default, it assumes
that a failure of a condition should not indicate a failure of the
update/invocation, but a parameter is provided to override this
behavior. See suit-parameter-soft-failure (Section 8.4.8.14).
8.4.7. Reporting Policy
To facilitate construction of Reports that describe the success or
failure of a given Procedure, each command is given a Reporting
Policy. This is an integer bitfield that follows the command and
indicates what the Recipient should do with the Record of executing
the command. The options are summarized in the table below.
+=============================+==================================+
| Policy | Description |
+=============================+==================================+
| suit-send-record-on-success | Record when the command succeeds |
+-----------------------------+----------------------------------+
| suit-send-record-on-failure | Record when the command fails |
+-----------------------------+----------------------------------+
| suit-send-sysinfo-success | Add system information when the |
| | command succeeds |
+-----------------------------+----------------------------------+
| suit-send-sysinfo-failure | Add system information when the |
| | command fails |
+-----------------------------+----------------------------------+
Table 4
Any or all of these policies may be enabled at once.
At the completion of each command, a Manifest Processor MAY forward
information about the command to a Reporting Engine, which is
responsible for reporting boot or update status to a third party.
The Reporting Engine is entirely implementation-defined, the
reporting policy simply facilitates the Reporting Engine's interface
to the SUIT Manifest Processor.
The information elements provided to the Reporting Engine are:
Moran, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 35]
Internet-Draft CBOR-based SUIT Manifest April 2022
* The reporting policy
* The result of the command
* The values of parameters consumed by the command
* The system information consumed by the command
Together, these elements are called a Record. A group of Records is
a Report.
If the component index is set to True or an array when a command is
executed with a non-zero reporting policy, then the Reporting Engine
MUST receive one Record for each Component, in the order expressed in
the Components list or the component index array.
This specification does not define a particular format of Records or
Reports. This specification only defines hints to the Reporting
Engine for which Records it should aggregate into the Report. The
Reporting Engine MAY choose to ignore these hints and apply its own
policy instead.
When used in a Invocation Procedure, the report MAY form the basis of
an attestation report. When used in an Update Process, the report
MAY form the basis for one or more log entries.
8.4.8. SUIT_Parameters
Many conditions and directives require additional information. That
information is contained within parameters that can be set in a
consistent way. This allows reuse of parameters between commands,
thus reducing manifest size.
Most parameters are scoped to a specific component. This means that
setting a parameter for one component has no effect on the parameters
of any other component. The only exceptions to this are two Manifest
Processor parameters: Strict Order and Soft Failure.
The defined manifest parameters are described below.

Table 5
CBOR-encoded object parameters are still wrapped in a bstr. This is
because it allows a parser that is aggregating parameters to
reference the object with a single pointer and traverse it without
understanding the contents. This is important for modularization and
division of responsibility within a pull parser. The same
consideration does not apply to Directives because those elements are
invoked with their arguments immediately.
Moran, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 37]
Internet-Draft CBOR-based SUIT Manifest April 2022
8.4.8.1. CBOR PEN UUID Namespace Identifier
The CBOR PEN UUID Namespace Identifier is constructed as follows:
It uses the OID Namespace as a starting point, then uses the CBOR
absolute OID encoding for the IANA PEN OID (1.3.6.1.4.1):
D8 6F # tag(111)
45 # bytes(5)
# Absolute OID encoding of IANA Private Enterprise Number:
# 1.3. 6. 1. 4. 1
2B 06 01 04 01 # X.690 Clause 8.19
Computing a type 5 UUID from these produces:
NAMESPACE_CBOR_PEN = UUID5(NAMESPACE_OID, h'D86F452B06010401')
NAMESPACE_CBOR_PEN = 47fbdabb-f2e4-55f0-bb39-3620c2f6df4e
8.4.8.2. Constructing UUIDs
Several conditions use identifiers to determine whether a manifest
matches a given Recipient or not. These identifiers are defined to
be RFC 4122 [RFC4122] UUIDs. These UUIDs are not human-readable and
are therefore used for machine-based processing only.
A Recipient MAY match any number of UUIDs for vendor or class
identifier. This may be relevant to physical or software modules.
For example, a Recipient that has an OS and one or more applications
might list one Vendor ID for the OS and one or more additional Vendor
IDs for the applications. This Recipient might also have a Class ID
that must be matched for the OS and one or more Class IDs for the
applications.
Identifiers are used for compatibility checks. They MUST NOT be used
as assertions of identity. They are evaluated by identifier
conditions (Section 8.4.9.1).
A more complete example: Imagine a device has the following physical
components: 1. A host MCU 2. A WiFi module
This same device has three software modules: 1. An operating system
2. A WiFi module interface driver 3. An application
Suppose that the WiFi module's firmware has a proprietary update
mechanism and doesn't support manifest processing. This device can
report four class IDs:
1. Hardware model/revision
Moran, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 38]
Internet-Draft CBOR-based SUIT Manifest April 2022
2. OS
3. WiFi module model/revision
4. Application
This allows the OS, WiFi module, and application to be updated
independently. To combat possible incompatibilities, the OS class ID
can be changed each time the OS has a change to its API.
This approach allows a vendor to target, for example, all devices
with a particular WiFi module with an update, which is a very
powerful mechanism, particularly when used for security updates.
UUIDs MUST be created according to RFC 4122 [RFC4122]. UUIDs SHOULD
use versions 3, 4, or 5, as described in RFC4122. Versions 1 and 2
do not provide a tangible benefit over version 4 for this
application.
The RECOMMENDED method to create a vendor ID is:
Vendor ID = UUID5(DNS_PREFIX, vendor domain name)
If the Vendor ID is a UUID, the RECOMMENDED method to create a Class
ID is:
Class ID = UUID5(Vendor ID, Class-Specific-Information)
If the Vendor ID is a CBOR PEN (see Section 8.4.8.3), the RECOMMENDED
method to create a Class ID is:
Class ID = UUID5(
UUID5(NAMESPACE_CBOR_PEN, CBOR_PEN),
Class-Specific-Information)
Class-specific-information is composed of a variety of data, for
example:
* Model number.
* Hardware revision.
* Bootloader version (for immutable bootloaders).
8.4.8.3. suit-parameter-vendor-identifier
suit-parameter-vendor-identifier may be presented in one of two ways:
Moran, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 39]
Internet-Draft CBOR-based SUIT Manifest April 2022
* A Private Enterprise Number
* A byte string containing a UUID ([RFC4122])
Private Enterprise Numbers are encoded as a relative OID, according
to the definition in [I-D.ietf-cbor-tags-oid]. All PENs are relative
to the IANA PEN: 1.3.6.1.4.1.
8.4.8.4. suit-parameter-class-identifier
A RFC 4122 UUID representing the class of the device or component.
The UUID is encoded as a 16 byte bstr, containing the raw bytes of
the UUID. It MUST be constructed as described in Section 8.4.8.2
8.4.8.5. suit-parameter-device-identifier
A RFC 4122 UUID representing the specific device or component. The
UUID is encoded as a 16 byte bstr, containing the raw bytes of the
UUID. It MUST be constructed as described in Section 8.4.8.2
8.4.8.6. suit-parameter-image-digest
A fingerprint computed over the component itself, encoded in the
SUIT_Digest Section 10 structure. The SUIT_Digest is wrapped in a
bstr, as required in Section 8.4.8.
8.4.8.7. suit-parameter-image-size
The size of the firmware image in bytes. This size is encoded as a
positive integer.
8.4.8.8. suit-parameter-component-slot
This parameter sets the slot index of a component. Some components
support multiple possible Slots (offsets into a storage area). This
parameter describes the intended Slot to use, identified by its index
into the component's storage area. This slot MUST be encoded as a
positive integer.
8.4.8.9. suit-parameter-uri
A URI Reference ([RFC3986]) from which to fetch a resource, encoded
as a text string. CBOR Tag 32 is not used because the meaning of the
text string is unambiguous in this context.
Moran, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 40]
Internet-Draft CBOR-based SUIT Manifest April 2022
8.4.8.10. suit-parameter-source-component
This parameter sets the source component to be used with either suit-
directive-copy (Section 8.4.10.5) or with suit-directive-swap
(Section 8.4.10.8). The current Component, as set by suit-directive-
set-component-index defines the destination, and suit-parameter-
source-component defines the source.
8.4.8.11. suit-parameter-run-args
This parameter contains an encoded set of arguments for suit-
directive-run (Section 8.4.10.6). The arguments MUST be provided as
an implementation-defined bstr.
8.4.8.12. suit-parameter-fetch-arguments
An implementation-defined set of arguments to suit-directive-fetch
(Section 8.4.10.4). Arguments are encoded in a bstr.
8.4.8.13. suit-parameter-strict-order
The Strict Order Parameter allows a manifest to govern when
directives can be executed out-of-order. This allows for systems
that have a sensitivity to order of updates to choose the order in
which they are executed. It also allows for more advanced systems to
parallelize their handling of updates. Strict Order defaults to
True. It MAY be set to False when the order of operations does not
matter. When arriving at the end of a command sequence, ALL commands
MUST have completed, regardless of the state of
SUIT_Parameter_Strict_Order. If SUIT_Parameter_Strict_Order is
returned to True, ALL preceding commands MUST complete before the
next command is executed.
See Section 6.7 for behavioral description of Strict Order.
8.4.8.14. suit-parameter-soft-failure
When executing a command sequence inside suit-directive-try-each
(Section 8.4.10.2) or suit-directive-run-sequence (Section 8.4.10.7)
and a condition failure occurs, the manifest processor aborts the
sequence. For suit-directive-try-each, if Soft Failure is True, the
next sequence in Try Each is invoked, otherwise suit-directive-try-
each fails with the condition failure code. In suit-directive-run-
sequence, if Soft Failure is True the suit-directive-run-sequence
simply halts with no side-effects and the Manifest Processor
continues with the following command, otherwise, the suit-directive-
run-sequence fails with the condition failure code.
Moran, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 41]
Internet-Draft CBOR-based SUIT Manifest April 2022
suit-parameter-soft-failure is scoped to the enclosing
SUIT_Command_Sequence. Its value is discarded when
SUIT_Command_Sequence terminates. It MUST NOT be set outside of
suit-directive-try-each or suit-directive-run-sequence.
When suit-directive-try-each is invoked, Soft Failure defaults to
True. An Update Author may choose to set Soft Failure to False if
they require a failed condition in a sequence to force an Abort.
When suit-directive-run-sequence is invoked, Soft Failure defaults to
False. An Update Author may choose to make failures soft within a
suit-directive-run-sequence.
8.4.8.15. suit-parameter-custom
This parameter is an extension point for any proprietary, application
specific conditions and directives. It MUST NOT be used in the
common sequence. This effectively scopes each custom command to a
particular Vendor Identifier/Class Identifier pair.
8.4.9. SUIT_Condition
Conditions are used to define mandatory properties of a system in
order for an update to be applied. They can be pre-conditions or
post-conditions of any directive or series of directives, depending
on where they are placed in the list. All Conditions specify a
Reporting Policy as described Section 8.4.7. Conditions include:

Table 6
The abstract description of these conditions is defined in
Section 6.4.
Conditions compare parameters against properties of the system.
These properties may be asserted in many different ways, including:
calculation on-demand, volatile definition in memory, static
definition within the manifest processor, storage in known location
within an image, storage within a key storage system, storage in One-
Time-Programmable memory, inclusion in mask ROM, or inclusion as a
register in hardware. Some of these assertion methods are global in
scope, such as a hardware register, some are scoped to an individual
component, such as storage at a known location in an image, and some
assertion methods can be either global or component-scope, based on
implementation.
Each condition MUST report a result code on completion. If a
condition reports failure, then the current sequence of commands MUST
terminate. A subsequent command or command sequence MAY continue
executing if suit-parameter-soft-failure (Section 8.4.8.14) is set.
If a condition requires additional information, this MUST be
specified in one or more parameters before the condition is executed.
Moran, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 43]
Internet-Draft CBOR-based SUIT Manifest April 2022
If a Recipient attempts to process a condition that expects
additional information and that information has not been set, it MUST
report a failure. If a Recipient encounters an unknown condition, it
MUST report a failure.
Condition labels in the positive number range are reserved for IANA
registration while those in the negative range are custom conditions
reserved for proprietary definition by the author of a manifest
processor. See Section 11 for more details.
8.4.9.1. suit-condition-vendor-identifier, suit-condition-class-
identifier, and suit-condition-device-identifier
There are three identifier-based conditions: suit-condition-vendor-
identifier, suit-condition-class-identifier, and suit-condition-
device-identifier. Each of these conditions match a RFC 4122
[RFC4122] UUID that MUST have already been set as a parameter. The
installing Recipient MUST match the specified UUID in order to
consider the manifest valid. These identifiers are scoped by
component in the manifest. Each component MAY match more than one
identifier. Care is needed to ensure that manifests correctly
identify their targets using these conditions. Using only a generic
class ID for a device-specific firmware could result in matching
devices that are not compatible.
The Recipient uses the ID parameter that has already been set using
the Set Parameters directive. If no ID has been set, this condition
fails. suit-condition-class-identifier and suit-condition-vendor-
identifier are REQUIRED to implement. suit-condition-device-
identifier is OPTIONAL to implement.
Each identifier condition compares the corresponding identifier
parameter to a parameter asserted to the Manifest Processor by the
Recipient. Identifiers MUST be known to the Manifest Processor in
order to evaluate compatibility.
8.4.9.2. suit-condition-image-match
Verify that the current component matches the suit-parameter-image-
digest (Section 8.4.8.6) for the current component. The digest is
verified against the digest specified in the Component's parameters
list. If no digest is specified, the condition fails. suit-
condition-image-match is REQUIRED to implement.
Moran, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 44]
Internet-Draft CBOR-based SUIT Manifest April 2022
8.4.9.3. suit-condition-component-slot
Verify that the slot index of the current component matches the slot
index set in suit-parameter-component-slot (Section 8.4.8.8). This
condition allows a manifest to select between several images to match
a target slot.
8.4.9.4. suit-condition-abort
Unconditionally fail. This operation is typically used in
conjunction with suit-directive-try-each (Section 8.4.10.2).
8.4.9.5. suit-condition-custom
suit-condition-custom describes any proprietary, application specific
condition. This is encoded as a negative integer, chosen by the
firmware developer. If additional information must be provided to
the condition, it should be encoded in a custom parameter (a nint) as
described in Section 8.4.8. SUIT_Condition_Custom is OPTIONAL to
implement.
8.4.10. SUIT_Directive
Directives are used to define the behavior of the recipient.
Directives include:

Table 7
The abstract description of these commands is defined in Section 6.4.
When a Recipient executes a Directive, it MUST report a result code.
If the Directive reports failure, then the current Command Sequence
MUST be terminated.
8.4.10.1. suit-directive-set-component-index
Set Component Index defines the component to which successive
directives and conditions will apply. The supplied argument MUST be
one of three types:
1. An unsigned integer (REQUIRED to implement in parser)
2. A boolean (REQUIRED to implement in parser ONLY IF 2 or more
components supported)
Moran, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 46]
Internet-Draft CBOR-based SUIT Manifest April 2022
3. An array of unsigned integers (REQUIRED to implement in parser
ONLY IF 3 or more components supported)
If the following commands apply to ONE component, an unsigned integer
index into the component list is used. If the following commands
apply to ALL components, then the boolean value "True" is used
instead of an index. If the following commands apply to more than
one, but not all components, then an array of unsigned integer
indices into the component list is used. See Section 6.5 for more
details.
If component index is set to True when a command is invoked, then the
command applies to all components, in the order they appear in suit-
common-components. When the Manifest Processor invokes a command
while the component index is set to True, it must execute the command
once for each possible component index, ensuring that the command
receives the parameters corresponding to that component index.
8.4.10.2. suit-directive-try-each
This command runs several SUIT_Command_Sequence instances, one after
another, in a strict order. Use this command to implement a "try/
catch-try/catch" sequence. Manifest processors MAY implement this
command.
suit-parameter-soft-failure (Section 8.4.8.14) is initialized to True
at the beginning of each sequence. If one sequence aborts due to a
condition failure, the next is started. If no sequence completes
without condition failure, then suit-directive-try-each returns an
error. If a particular application calls for all sequences to fail
and still continue, then an empty sequence (nil) can be added to the
Try Each Argument.
The argument to suit-directive-try-each is a list of
SUIT_Command_Sequence. suit-directive-try-each does not specify a
reporting policy.
8.4.10.3. suit-directive-override-parameters
suit-directive-override-parameters replaces any listed parameters
that are already set with the values that are provided in its
argument. This allows a manifest to prevent replacement of critical
parameters.
Available parameters are defined in Section 8.4.8.
suit-directive-override-parameters does not specify a reporting
policy.
Moran, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 47]
Internet-Draft CBOR-based SUIT Manifest April 2022
8.4.10.4. suit-directive-fetch
suit-directive-fetch instructs the manifest processor to obtain one
or more manifests or payloads, as specified by the manifest index and
component index, respectively.
suit-directive-fetch can target one or more payloads. suit-directive-
fetch retrieves each component listed in component-index. If
component-index is True, instead of an integer, then all current
manifest components are fetched. If component-index is an array,
then all listed components are fetched.
suit-directive-fetch typically takes no arguments unless one is
needed to modify fetch behavior. If an argument is needed, it must
be wrapped in a bstr and set in suit-parameter-fetch-arguments.
suit-directive-fetch reads the URI parameter to find the source of
the fetch it performs.
8.4.10.5. suit-directive-copy
suit-directive-copy instructs the manifest processor to obtain one or
more payloads, as specified by the component index. As described in
Section 6.5 component index may be a single integer, a list of
integers, or True. suit-directive-copy retrieves each component
specified by the current component-index, respectively.
suit-directive-copy reads its source from suit-parameter-source-
component (Section 8.4.8.10).
If either the source component parameter or the source component
itself is absent, this command fails.
8.4.10.6. suit-directive-run
suit-directive-run directs the manifest processor to transfer
execution to the current Component Index. When this is invoked, the
manifest processor MAY be unloaded and execution continues in the
Component Index. Arguments are provided to suit-directive-run
through suit-parameter-run-arguments (Section 8.4.8.11) and are
forwarded to the executable code located in Component Index in an
application-specific way. For example, this could form the Linux
Kernel Command Line if booting a Linux device.
Moran, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 48]
Internet-Draft CBOR-based SUIT Manifest April 2022
If the executable code at Component Index is constructed in such a
way that it does not unload the manifest processor, then the manifest
processor may resume execution after the executable completes. This
allows the manifest processor to invoke suitable helpers and to
verify them with image conditions.
8.4.10.7. suit-directive-run-sequence
To enable conditional commands, and to allow several strictly ordered
sequences to be executed out-of-order, suit-directive-run-sequence
allows the manifest processor to execute its argument as a
SUIT_Command_Sequence. The argument must be wrapped in a bstr.
When a sequence is executed, any failure of a condition causes
immediate termination of the sequence.
When suit-directive-run-sequence completes, it forwards the last
status code that occurred in the sequence. If the Soft Failure
parameter is true, then suit-directive-run-sequence only fails when a
directive in the argument sequence fails.
suit-parameter-soft-failure (Section 8.4.8.14) defaults to False when
suit-directive-run-sequence begins. Its value is discarded when
suit-directive-run-sequence terminates.
8.4.10.8. suit-directive-swap
suit-directive-swap instructs the manifest processor to move the
source to the destination and the destination to the source
simultaneously. Swap has nearly identical semantics to suit-
directive-copy except that suit-directive-swap replaces the source
with the current contents of the destination in an application-
defined way. As with suit-directive-copy, if the source component is
missing, this command fails.
If SUIT_Parameter_Compression_Info or SUIT_Parameter_Encryption_Info
are present, they MUST be handled in a symmetric way, so that the
source is decompressed into the destination and the destination is
compressed into the source. The source is decrypted into the
destination and the destination is encrypted into the source. suit-
directive-swap is OPTIONAL to implement.

Internet-Draft CBOR-based SUIT Manifest April 2022
8.4.11. Integrity Check Values
When the Text section or any Command Sequence of the Update Procedure
is made severable, it is moved to the Envelope and replaced with a
SUIT_Digest. The SUIT_Digest is computed over the entire bstr
enclosing the Manifest element that has been moved to the Envelope.
Each element that is made severable from the Manifest is placed in
the Envelope. The keys for the envelope elements have the same
values as the keys for the manifest elements.
Each Integrity Check Value covers the corresponding Envelope Element
as described in Section 8.5.
8.5. Severable Elements
Because the manifest can be used by different actors at different
times, some parts of the manifest can be removed or "Severed" without
affecting later stages of the lifecycle. Severing of information is
achieved by separating that information from the signed container so
that removing it does not affect the signature. This means that
ensuring integrity of severable parts of the manifest is a
requirement for the signed portion of the manifest. Severing some
parts makes it possible to discard parts of the manifest that are no
longer necessary. This is important because it allows the storage
used by the manifest to be greatly reduced. For example, no text
size limits are needed if text is removed from the manifest prior to
delivery to a constrained device.
Elements are made severable by removing them from the manifest,
encoding them in a bstr, and placing a SUIT_Digest of the bstr in the
manifest so that they can still be authenticated. The SUIT_Digest
typically consumes 4 bytes more than the size of the raw digest,
therefore elements smaller than (Digest Bits)/8 + 4 SHOULD NOT be
severable. Elements larger than (Digest Bits)/8 + 4 MAY be
severable, while elements that are much larger than (Digest Bits)/8 +
4 SHOULD be severable.
Because of this, all command sequences in the manifest are encoded in
a bstr so that there is a single code path needed for all command
sequences.
9. Access Control Lists
To manage permissions in the manifest, there are three models that
can be used.
Moran, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 50]
Internet-Draft CBOR-based SUIT Manifest April 2022
First, the simplest model requires that all manifests are
authenticated by a single trusted key. This mode has the advantage
that only a root manifest needs to be authenticated, since all of its
dependencies have digests included in the root manifest.
This simplest model can be extended by adding key delegation without
much increase in complexity.
A second model requires an ACL to be presented to the Recipient,
authenticated by a trusted party or stored on the Recipient. This
ACL grants access rights for specific component IDs or Component
Identifier prefixes to the listed identities or identity groups. Any
identity can verify an image digest, but fetching into or fetching
from a Component Identifier requires approval from the ACL.
A third model allows a Recipient to provide even more fine-grained
controls: The ACL lists the Component Identifier or Component
Identifier prefix that an identity can use, and also lists the
commands and parameters that the identity can use in combination with
that Component Identifier.
10. SUIT Digest Container
The SUIT digest is a CBOR List containing two elements: an algorithm
identifier and a bstr containing the bytes of the digest. Some forms
of digest may require additional parameters. These can be added
following the digest.
The values of the algorithm identifier are defined by
[I-D.ietf-cose-hash-algs]. The following algorithms MUST be
implemented by all Manifest Processors:
* SHA-256 (-16)
The following algorithms MAY be implemented in a Manifest Processor:
* SHAKE128 (-18)
* SHA-384 (-43)
* SHA-512 (-44)
* SHAKE256 (-45)
11. IANA Considerations
IANA is requested to:
Moran, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 51]
Internet-Draft CBOR-based SUIT Manifest April 2022
* allocate CBOR tag 107 in the CBOR Tags registry for the SUIT
Envelope.
* allocate CBOR tag 1070 in the CBOR Tags registry for the SUIT
Manifest.
* allocate media type application/suit-envelope in the Media Types
registry.
* setup several registries as described below.
IANA is requested to setup a registry for SUIT manifests. Several
registries defined in the subsections below need to be created.
For each registry, values 0-23 are Standards Action, 24-255 are IETF
Review, 256-65535 are Expert Review, and 65536 or greater are First
Come First Served.
Negative values -23 to 0 are Experimental Use, -24 and lower are
Private Use.

Appendix B. B. Examples
The following examples demonstrate a small subset of the
functionality of the manifest. Even a simple manifest processor can
execute most of these manifests.
The examples are signed using the following ECDSA secp256r1 key:
-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
MIGHAgEAMBMGByqGSM49AgEGCCqGSM49AwEHBG0wawIBAQQgApZYjZCUGLM50VBC
CjYStX+09jGmnyJPrpDLTz/hiXOhRANCAASEloEarguqq9JhVxie7NomvqqL8Rtv
P+bitWWchdvArTsfKktsCYExwKNtrNHXi9OB3N+wnAUtszmR23M4tKiW
-----END PRIVATE KEY-----
The corresponding public key can be used to verify these examples:
-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----
MFkwEwYHKoZIzj0CAQYIKoZIzj0DAQcDQgAEhJaBGq4LqqvSYVcYnuzaJr6qi/Eb
bz/m4rVlnIXbwK07HypLbAmBMcCjbazR14vTgdzfsJwFLbM5kdtzOLSolg==
-----END PUBLIC KEY-----
Each example uses SHA256 as the digest function.
Note that reporting policies are declared for each non-flow-control
command in these examples. The reporting policies used in the
examples are described in the following tables.

Appendix C. C. Design Rational
In order to provide flexible behavior to constrained devices, while
still allowing more powerful devices to use their full capabilities,
the SUIT manifest encodes the required behavior of a Recipient
device. Behavior is encoded as a specialized byte code, contained in
a CBOR list. This promotes a flat encoding, which simplifies the
parser. The information encoded by this byte code closely matches
the operations that a device will perform, which promotes ease of
processing. The core operations used by most update and trusted
invocation operations are represented in the byte code. The byte
code can be extended by registering new operations.
The specialized byte code approach gives benefits equivalent to those
provided by a scripting language or conventional byte code, with two
substantial differences. First, the language is extremely high
level, consisting of only the operations that a device may perform
during update and trusted invocation of a firmware image. Second,
Moran, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 82]
Internet-Draft CBOR-based SUIT Manifest April 2022
the language specifies linear behavior, without reverse branches.
Conditional processing is supported, and parallel and out-of-order
processing may be performed by sufficiently capable devices.
By structuring the data in this way, the manifest processor becomes a
very simple engine that uses a pull parser to interpret the manifest.
This pull parser invokes a series of command handlers that evaluate a
Condition or execute a Directive. Most data is structured in a
highly regular pattern, which simplifies the parser.
The results of this allow a Recipient to implement a very small
parser for constrained applications. If needed, such a parser also
allows the Recipient to perform complex updates with reduced
overhead. Conditional execution of commands allows a simple device
to perform important decisions at validation-time.
Dependency handling is vastly simplified as well. Dependencies
function like subroutines of the language. When a manifest has a
dependency, it can invoke that dependency's commands and modify their
behavior by setting parameters. Because some parameters come with
security implications, the dependencies also have a mechanism to
reject modifications to parameters on a fine-grained level.
Developing a robust permissions system works in this model too. The
Recipient can use a simple ACL that is a table of Identities and
Component Identifier permissions to ensure that operations on
components fail unless they are permitted by the ACL. This table can
be further refined with individual parameters and commands.
Capability reporting is similarly simplified. A Recipient can report
the Commands, Parameters, Algorithms, and Component Identifiers that
it supports. This is sufficiently precise for a manifest author to
create a manifest that the Recipient can accept.
The simplicity of design in the Recipient due to all of these
benefits allows even a highly constrained platform to use advanced
update capabilities.
C.1. C.1 Design Rationale: Envelope
The Envelope is used instead of a COSE structure for several reasons:
1. This enables the use of Severable Elements (Section 8.5)
2. This enables modular processing of manifests, particularly with
large signatures.
3. This enables multiple authentication schemes.
Moran, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 83]
Internet-Draft CBOR-based SUIT Manifest April 2022
4. This allows integrity verification by a dependent to be
unaffected by adding or removing authentication structures.
Modular processing is important because it allows a Manifest
Processor to iterate forward over an Envelope, processing Delegation
Chains and Authentication Blocks, retaining only intermediate values,
without any need to seek forward and backwards in a stream until it
gets to the Manifest itself. This allows the use of large, Post-
Quantum signatures without requiring retention of the signature
itself, or seeking forward and back.
Four authentication objects are supported by the Envelope:
* COSE_Sign_Tagged
* COSE_Sign1_Tagged
* COSE_Mac_Tagged
* COSE_Mac0_Tagged
The SUIT Envelope allows an Update Authority or intermediary to mix
and match any number of different authentication blocks it wants
without any concern for modifying the integrity of another
authentication block. This also allows the addition or removal of an
authentication blocks without changing the integrity check of the
Manifest, which is important for dependency handling. See
Section 6.2
C.2. C.2 Byte String Wrappers
Byte string wrappers are used in several places in the suit manifest.
The primary reason for wrappers it to limit the parser extent when
invoked at different times, with a possible loss of context.
The elements of the suit envelope are wrapped both to set the extents
used by the parser and to simplify integrity checks by clearly
defining the length of each element.
The common block is re-parsed in order to find components identifiers
from their indices, to find dependency prefixes and digests from
their identifiers, and to find the common sequence. The common
sequence is wrapped so that it matches other sequences, simplifying
the code path.
Moran, et al. Expires 30 October 2022 [Page 84]
Internet-Draft CBOR-based SUIT Manifest April 2022
A severed SUIT command sequence will appear in the envelope, so it
must be wrapped as with all envelope elements. For consistency,
command sequences are also wrapped in the manifest. This also allows
the parser to discern the difference between a command sequence and a
SUIT_Digest.
Parameters that are structured types (arrays and maps) are also
wrapped in a bstr. This is so that parser extents can be set
correctly using only a reference to the beginning of the parameter.
This enables a parser to store a simple list of references to
parameters that can be retrieved when needed.
