Introduction   This document specifies a Type-Length-Value (TLV) packet format and   the TLV type and value encodings for CCNx messages.  A full   description of the CCNx network protocol, providing an encoding-free   description of CCNx messages and message elements, may be found in   [RFC8569].  CCNx is a network protocol that uses a hierarchical name   to forward requests and to match responses to requests.  It does not   use endpoint addresses; the Internet Protocol does.  Restrictions in   a request can limit the response by the public key of the response's   signer or the cryptographic hash of the response.  Every CCNx   forwarder along the path does the name matching and restriction   checking.  The CCNx protocol fits within the broader framework of   Information-Centric Networking (ICN) protocols [RFC7927].   This document describes a TLV scheme using a fixed 2-byte T and a   fixed 2-byte L field.  The rational for this choice is described inSection 5.  Briefly, this choice avoids multiple encodings of the   same value (aliases) and reduces the work of a validator to ensure   compliance.  Unlike some uses of TLV in networking, each network hop   must evaluate the encoding, so even small validation latencies at   each hop could add up to a large overall forwarding delay.  For very   small packets or low-throughput links, where the extra bytes may   become a concern, one may use a TLV compression protocol, for   example, [compress] and [CCNxz].   This document uses the terms CCNx Packet, CCNx Message, and CCNx   Message TLV.  A CCNx Packet refers to the entire Layer 3 datagram as   specified inSection 3.1.  A CCNx Message is the ABNF token defined   in the CCNx Semantics document [RFC8569].  A CCNx Message TLV refers   to the encoding of a CCNx Message as specified inSection 3.6.Mosko, et al.                 Experimental                      [Page 3]

RFC 8609                        CCNx TLV                       July 2019   This document specifies:   o  the CCNx Packet format,   o  the CCNx Message TLV format,   o  the TLV types used by CCNx messages,   o  the encoding of values for each type,   o  top-level types that exist at the outermost containment,   o  Interest TLVs that exist within Interest containment, and   o  Content Object TLVs that exist within Content Object containment.   This document is supplemented by these documents:   o  [RFC8569], which covers message semantics and the protocol      operation regarding Interest and Content Object, including the      Interest Return protocol.   o  [CCNxURI], which covers the CCNx URI notation.   The type values inSection 4 conform to the IANA-assigned numbers for   the CCNx protocol.  This document uses the symbolic names defined in   that section.  All TLV type values are relative to their parent   containers.  For example, each level of a nested TLV structure might   define a "type = 1" with a completely different meaning.   Packets are represented as 32-bit wide words using ASCII art.  Due to   the nested levels of TLV encoding and the presence of optional fields   and variable sizes, there is no concise way to represent all   possibilities.  We use the convention that ASCII art fields enclosed   by vertical bars "|" represent exact bit widths.  Fields with a   forward slash "/" are variable bit widths, which we typically pad out   to word alignment for picture readability.   The document represents the consensus of the ICN RG.  It is the first   ICN protocol from the RG, created from the early CCNx protocol [nnc]   with significant revision and input from the ICN community and RG   members.  The document has received critical reading by several   members of the ICN community and the RG.  The authors and RG chairs   approve of the contents.  The document is sponsored under the IRTF   and is not issued by the IETF and is not an IETF standard.  This is   an experimental protocol and may not be suitable for any specific   application and the specification may change in the future.Mosko, et al.

RFC 8609                        CCNx TLV                       July 20191.1.  Requirements Language   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described inBCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all   capitals, as shown here.2.  Definitions   These definitions summarize items defined in [RFC8569].  This   document defines their encodings.   o  Name: A hierarchically structured variable-length identifier.  It      is an ordered list of path segments, which are variable-length      octet strings.  In human-readable form, it is represented in URI      format as "ccnx:/path/part".  There is no host or query string.      See [CCNxURI] for complete details.   o  Interest: A message requesting a Content Object with a matching      Name and other optional selectors to choose from multiple objects      with the same Name.  Any Content Object with a Name and attributes      that matches the Name and optional selectors of the Interest is      said to satisfy the Interest.   o  Content Object: A data object sent in response to an Interest      request.  It has an optional Name and a content payload that are      bound together via cryptographic means.3.  Type-Length-Value (TLV) Packets   We use 16-bit Type and 16-bit Length fields to encode TLV-based   packets.  This provides 65,536 different possible types and value   field lengths of up to 64 KiB.  With 65,536 possible types at each   level of TLV encoding, there should be sufficient space for basic   protocol types, while also allowing ample room for experimentation,   application use, vendor extensions, and growth.  This encoding does   not allow for jumbo packets beyond 64 KiB total length.  If used on a   media that allows for jumbo frames, we suggest defining a media   adaptation envelope that allows for multiple smaller frames.Mosko, et al.

It does not include the length of the Type and Length fields.  The   Length MAY be zero.   TLV structures are nestable, allowing the Value field of one TLV   structure to contain additional TLV structures.  The enclosing TLV   structure is called the container of the enclosed TLV.   Type values are context dependent.  Within a TLV container, one may   reuse previous type values for new context-dependent purposes.Mosko, et al.

Overall Packet Format   Each CCNx Packet includes the 8-byte fixed header, described below,   followed by a set of TLV fields.  These fields are optional hop-by-   hop headers and the Packet Payload.                        1                   2                   3    0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1   +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+   |    Version    |  PacketType   |         PacketLength          |   +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+   |           PacketType-specific fields          | HeaderLength  |   +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+   / Optional hop-by-hop header TLVs                               /   +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+   / PacketPayload TLVs                                            /   +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+                      Figure 2: Overall Packet Format   The PacketPayload of a CCNx Packet is the protocol message itself.   The Content Object Hash is computed over the PacketPayload only,   excluding the fixed and hop-by-hop headers, as those might change   from hop to hop.  Signed information or similarity hashes should not   include any of the fixed or hop-by-hop headers.  The PacketPayload   should be self-sufficient in the event that the fixed and hop-by-hop   headers are removed.  See Message Hash (Section 3.4.3).   Following the CCNx Message TLV, the PacketPayload may include   optional Validation TLVs.                        1                   2                   3    0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1   +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+   | CCNx Message TLV                                              /   +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+   / Optional CCNx ValidationAlgorithm TLV                         /   +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+   / Optional CCNx ValidationPayload TLV (ValidationAlg required)  /   +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+                       Figure 3: PacketPayload TLVs   After discarding the fixed and hop-by-hop headers, the remaining   PacketPayload should be a valid protocol message.  Therefore, the   PacketPayload always begins with 4 bytes of type-length that   specifies the protocol message (whether it is an Interest, Content   Object, or other message type) and its total length.

RFC 8609                        CCNx TLV                       July 2019   of a self-sufficient protocol data unit inside the fixed and hop-by-   hop headers allows a network stack to discard the headers and operate   only on the embedded message.  It also decouples the PacketType field   -- which specifies how to forward the packet -- from the   PacketPayload.   The range of bytes protected by the Validation includes the CCNx   Message TLV and the ValidationAlgorithm TLV.   The ContentObjectHash begins with the CCNx Message TLV and ends at   the tail of the CCNx Packet.3.2.  Fixed Headers   In Figure 2, the fixed header fields are:   o  Version: defines the version of the packet, which MUST be 1.   o  HeaderLength: The length of the fixed header (8 bytes) and hop-by-      hop headers.  The minimum value MUST be 8.   o  PacketType: describes forwarder actions to take on the packet.   o  PacketLength: Total octets of packet including all headers (fixed      header plus hop-by-hop headers) and protocol message.   o  PacketType-specific Fields: specific PacketTypes define the use of      these bits.   The PacketType field indicates how the forwarder should process the   packet.  A Request Packet (Interest) has PacketType PT_INTEREST, a   Response (Content Object) has PacketType PT_CONTENT, and an Interest   Return has PacketType PT_RETURN.   HeaderLength is the number of octets from the start of the CCNx   Packet (Version) to the end of the hop-by-hop headers.  PacketLength   is the number of octets from the start of the packet to the end of   the packet.  Both lengths have a minimum value of 8 (the fixed header   itself).   The PacketType-specific fields are reserved bits whose use depends on   the PacketType.  They are used for network-level signaling.Mosko, et al.

Interest Fixed Header   If the PacketType is PT_INTEREST, it indicates that the packet should   be forwarded following the Interest pipeline inSection 2.4.4 of   [RFC8569].  For this type of packet, the Fixed Header includes a   field for a HopLimit as well as Reserved and Flags fields.  The   Reserved field MUST be set to 0 in an Interest.  There are currently   no flags defined, so the Flags field MUST be set to 0.                        1                   2                   3    0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1   +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+   |    Version    |  PT_INTEREST  |         PacketLength          |   +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+   |   HopLimit    |   Reserved    |     Flags     | HeaderLength  |   +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+                         Figure 4: Interest Header3.2.1.1.  Interest HopLimit   For an Interest message, the HopLimit is a counter that is   decremented with each hop.  It limits the distance an Interest may   travel on the network.  The node originating the Interest MAY put in   any value up to the maximum of 255.  Each node that receives an   Interest with a HopLimit decrements the value upon reception.  If the   value is 0 after the decrement, the Interest MUST NOT be forwarded   off the node.   It is an error to receive an Interest from a remote node with the   HopLimit field set to 0.3.2.2.  Content Object Fixed Header   If the PacketType is PT_CONTENT, it indicates that the packet should   be forwarded following the Content Object pipeline inSection 2.4.4   of [RFC8569].  A Content Object defines a Flags field; however, there   are currently no flags defined, so the Flags field must be set to 0.                        1                   2                   3    0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1   +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+   |    Version    |  PT_CONTENT   |         PacketLength          |   +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+   |            Reserved           |     Flags     | HeaderLength  |   +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+                      Figure 5: Content Object HeaderMosko, et al.

Interest Return Fixed Header   If the PacketType is PT_RETURN, it indicates that the packet should   be processed following the Interest Return rules inSection 10 of   [RFC8569].  The only difference between this Interest Return message   and the original Interest is that the PacketType is changed to   PT_RETURN and a ReturnCode is put into the ReturnCode field.  All   other fields are unchanged from the Interest packet.  The purpose of   this encoding is to prevent packet length changes so no additional   bytes are needed to return an Interest to the previous hop.                        1                   2                   3    0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1   +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+   |    Version    |   PT_RETURN   |         PacketLength          |   +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+   |   HopLimit    |  ReturnCode   |     Flags     | HeaderLength  |   +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+                     Figure 6: Interest Return Header3.2.3.1.

Apart from that, a pad MAY be   inserted after any other TLV in the CCNx Message TLV or in the   ValidationAlgorithm TLV.

Hash Format   Hash values are used in several fields throughout a packet.  This TLV   encoding is commonly embedded inside those fields to specify the   specific hash function used and its value.  Note that the reserved   TLV types are also reserved here for user-defined experimental   functions.   The LENGTH field of the hash value MUST be less than or equal to the   hash function length.  If the LENGTH is less than the full length, it   is taken as the left LENGTH bytes of the hash function output.  Only   specified truncations are allowed, not arbitrary truncations.Mosko, et al.                 Experimental                     [Page 12]

RFC 8609                        CCNx TLV                       July 2019   This nested format is used because it allows binary comparison of   hash values for certain fields without a router needing to understand   a new hash function.  For example, the KeyIdRestriction is bit-wise   compared between an Interest's KeyIdRestriction field and a   ContentObject's KeyId field.  This format means the outer field   values do not change with differing hash functions so a router can   still identify those fields and do a binary comparison of the hash   TLV without need to understand the specific hash used.  An   alternative approach, such as using T_KEYID_SHA512-256, would require   each router keeps an up-to-date parser and supporting user-defined   hash functions here would explode the parsing state-space.   A CCNx entity MUST support the hash type T_SHA-256.  An entity MAY   support the remaining hash types.                  +-----------+------------------------+                  |   Abbrev  |    Lengths (octets)    |                  +-----------+------------------------+                  | T_SHA-256 |           32           |                  |           |                        |                  | T_SHA-512 |         64, 32         |                  |           |                        |                  |    n/a    | Experimental TLV types |                  +-----------+------------------------+                       Table 3: CCNx Hash Functions                        1                   2                   3    0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1   +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+   |             T_FOO             |              36               |   +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+   |           T_SHA512            |               32              |   +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+   /                        32-byte hash value                     /   +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+                Figure 9: Example nesting inside type T_FOO3.3.4.

Recommended Cache Time   The Recommended Cache Time (RCT) is a measure of the useful lifetime   of a Content Object as assigned by a content producer or upstream   node.  It serves as a guideline to the Content Store cache in   determining how long to keep the Content Object.  It is a   recommendation only and may be ignored by the cache.  This is in   contrast to the ExpiryTime (described inSection 3.6.2.2.2) which   takes precedence over the RCT and must be obeyed.   Because the Recommended Cache Time is an optional hop-by-hop header   and not a part of the signed message, a content producer may re-issue   a previously signed Content Object with an updated RCT without   needing to re-sign the message.  There is little ill effect from an   attacker changing the RCT as the RCT serves as a guideline only.   The Recommended Cache Time (a millisecond timestamp) is an unsigned   integer in network byte order that indicates the time when the   payload expires (as the number of milliseconds since the epoch in   UTC).  It is a 64-bit field.                        1                   2                   3    0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1   +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+   |         T_CACHETIME           |               8               |   +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+   /                                                               /   /                    Recommended Cache Time                     /   /                                                               /   +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+                Figure 12: Recommended Cache Time EncodingMosko, et al.

Message Hash   Within a trusted domain, an operator may calculate the message hash   at a border device and insert that value into the hop-by-hop headers   of a message.  An egress device should remove the value.  This   permits intermediate devices within that trusted domain to match   against a ContentObjectHashRestriction without calculating it at   every hop.   The message hash is a cryptographic hash from the start of the CCNx   Message TLV to the end of the packet.  It is used to match against   the ContentObjectHashRestriction (Section 3.6.2.1.2).  The Message   Hash may be of longer length than an Interest's restriction, in which   case the device should use the left bytes of the Message Hash to   check against the Interest's value.   The Message Hash may only carry one hash type and there may only be   one Message Hash header.   The Message Hash header is unprotected, so this header is only of   practical use within a trusted domain, such as an operator's   autonomous system.                       1                   2                   3   0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1   +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+   |          T_MSGHASH            |         (length + 4)          |   +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+   |          hash type            |            length             |   +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+   /                           hash value                          /   +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+                      Figure 13: Message Hash HeaderMosko, et al.

The CCNx Message TLV   is the portion of the CCNx Packet between the hop-by-hop headers and   the Validation TLVs.  The figure below is an expansion of the "CCNx   Message TLV" depicted in the beginning ofSection 3.  The CCNx   Message TLV begins with MessageType and runs through the optional   Payload.  The same general format is used for both Interest and   Content Object messages which are differentiated by the MessageType   field.  The first enclosed TLV of a CCNx Message TLV is always the   Name TLV, if present.  This is followed by an optional Message TLVs   and an optional Payload TLV.                        1                   2                   3    0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1   +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+   |         MessageType           |         MessageLength         |   +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+   / Name TLV       (Type = T_NAME)                                /   +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+   / Optional Message TLVs   (Various Types)                       /   +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+   / Optional Payload TLV  (Type = T_PAYLOAD)                      /   +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+                   Figure 14: CCNx Message TLV Encoding   +-----------+---------------+---------------------------------------+   |   Abbrev  |      Name     | Description                           |   +-----------+---------------+---------------------------------------+   |   T_NAME  | Name (Section | The CCNx Name requested in an         |   |           |     3.6.1)    | Interest or published in a Content    |   |           |               | Object.                               |   |           |               |                                       |   | T_PAYLOAD |    Payload    | The message payload.                  |   |           |    (Section   |                                       |   |           |     3.6.3)    |                                       |   +-----------+---------------+---------------------------------------+                      Table 6: CCNx Message TLV TypesMosko, et al.

The table below lists   the type values appropriate for these name segments.  A Name MUST NOT   include Pad TLVs.   As described in CCNx Semantics [RFC8569], using the CCNx URI   [CCNxURI] notation, a T_NAME with zero length corresponds to "ccnx:/"   (the default route).  The message grammar does not allow the first   name segment to have zero length in a CCNx Message TLV Name.  In the   TLV encoding, "ccnx:/" corresponds to T_NAME with zero length.                        1                   2                   3    0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1   +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+   |            T_NAME             |            Length             |   +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+   / Name segment TLVs                                             /   +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+                         Figure 15: Name Encoding   +---------------+-------------+-------------------------------------+   | Symbolic Name |     Name    | Description                         |   +---------------+-------------+-------------------------------------+   | T_NAMESEGMENT |     Name    | A generic name segment.             |   |               |   segment   |                                     |   |               |   (Section  |                                     |   |               |   3.6.1.1)  |                                     |   |               |             |                                     |   |     T_IPID    |   Interest  | An identifier that represents the   |   |               |  Payload ID | Interest Payload field.

Interest Payload ID   The InterestPayloadID is a name segment created by the origin of an   Interest to represent the Interest Payload.  This allows the proper   multiplexing of Interests based on their name if they have different   payloads.  A common representation is to use a hash of the Interest   Payload as the InterestPayloadID.   As part of the Value of the TLV, the InterestPayloadID contains a   one-octet identifier of the method used to create the   InterestPayloadID followed by a variable-length octet string.  An   implementation is not required to implement any of the methods to   receive an Interest; the InterestPayloadID may be treated only as an   opaque octet string for the purposes of multiplexing Interests with   different payloads.  Only a device creating an InterestPayloadID name   segment or a device verifying such a segment needs to implement the   algorithms.   It uses the encoding of hash values specified inSection 3.3.3.Mosko, et al.                 Experimental                     [Page 20]

RFC 8609                        CCNx TLV                       July 2019   In normal operations, we recommend displaying the InterestPayloadID   as an opaque octet string in a CCNx URI, as this is the common   denominator for implementation parsing.   The InterestPayloadID, even if it is a hash, should not convey any   security context.  If a system requires confirmation that a specific   entity created the InterestPayload, it should use a cryptographic   signature on the Interest via the ValidationAlgorithm and   ValidationPayload or use its own methods inside the Interest Payload.3.6.2.  Message TLVs   Each message type (Interest or Content Object) is associated with a   set of optional Message TLVs.  Additional specification documents may   extend the types associated with each.3.6.2.1.  Interest Message TLVs   There are two Message TLVs currently associated with an Interest   message: the KeyIdRestriction selector and the ContentObjectHashRestr   selector are used to narrow the universe of acceptable Content   Objects that would satisfy the Interest.                        1                   2                   3    0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1   +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+   |         MessageType           |         MessageLength         |   +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+   | Name TLV                                                      |   +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+   / Optional KeyIdRestriction TLV                                 /   +---------------------------------------------------------------+   / Optional ContentObjectHashRestriction TLV                     /   +---------------------------------------------------------------+                     Figure 17: Interest Message TLVsMosko, et al.

ExpiryTime   The ExpiryTime is the time at which the Payload expires, as expressed   by a timestamp containing the number of milliseconds since the epoch   in UTC.  It is a network byte order unsigned integer in a 64-bit   field.  A cache or end system should not respond with a Content   Object past its ExpiryTime.  Routers forwarding a Content Object do   not need to check the ExpiryTime.  If the ExpiryTime field is   missing, the Content Object has no expressed expiration, and a cache   or end system may use the Content Object for as long as desired.                        1                   2                   3    0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1   +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+   |           T_EXPIRY            |               8               |   +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+   /                          ExpiryTime                           /   /                                                               /   +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+                      Figure 21: ExpiryTime encodingMosko, et al.

If a packet does not have any payload, this field   SHOULD be omitted, rather than being of zero length.                        1                   2                   3    0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1   +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+   |           T_PAYLOAD           |            Length             |   +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+   /                        Payload Contents                       /   +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+                        Figure 22: Payload Encoding3.6.4.  Validation   Both Interests and Content Objects have the option to include   information about how to validate the CCNx Message.  This information   is contained in two TLVs: the ValidationAlgorithm TLV and the   ValidationPayload TLV.  The ValidationAlgorithm TLV specifies the   mechanism to be used to verify the CCNx Message.  Examples include   verification with a Message Integrity Check (MIC), a Message   Authentication Code (MAC), or a cryptographic signature.  The   ValidationPayload TLV contains the validation output, such as the   CRC32C code or the RSA signature.   An Interest would most likely only use a MIC type of validation -- a   CRC, checksum, or digest.3.6.4.1.  Validation Algorithm   The ValidationAlgorithm is a set of nested TLVs containing all of the   information needed to verify the message.  The outermost container   has type = T_VALIDATION_ALG.  The first nested TLV defines the   specific type of validation to be performed on the message.  The type   is identified with the "ValidationType" as shown in the figure below   and elaborated in the table below.  Nested within that container are   the TLVs for any ValidationType-dependent data -- for example, a Key   Id, Key Locator, etc.   Complete examples of several types may be found inSection 3.6.4.1.5.Mosko, et al.

Message Authentication Codes   MACs are useful for communication between two trusting parties who   have already shared secret keys.  An example is the HMAC algorithm.   A MAC uses the KeyId field to identify which shared secret is in use.   The meaning of the KeyId is specific to the two parties involved and   could be simply an integer to enumerate keys.  If a new MAC requires   an additional field, such as an Initialization Vector, that field   would need to be defined as part of the updated specification.3.6.4.1.3.  Signature   Signature type Validators specify a digest mechanism and a signing   algorithm to verify the message.  Examples include an RSA signature   on a SHA256 digest, an Elliptic Curve signature with SECP-256K1   parameters, etc.  These Validators require a KeyId and a mechanism   for locating the publisher's public key (a KeyLocator) -- and   optionally a PublicKey or Certificate or KeyLink.3.6.4.1.4.  Validation-Dependent Data   Different Validation Algorithms require access to different pieces of   data contained in the ValidationAlgorithm TLV.  As described above,   Key Ids, Key Locators, Public Keys, Certificates, Links, and Key   Names all play a role in different Validation Algorithms.  Any number   of Validation-Dependent Data containers can be present in a   Validation Algorithm TLV.Mosko, et al.                 Experimental                     [Page 27]

Likewise, the KeyIdRestr of the KeyLink is the KeyId of the   ContentObject, not necessarily of the wrapped key.                        1                   2                   3    0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1   +---------------+---------------+-------------------------------+   |          T_KEYLINK            |            Length             |   +---------------+---------------+-------------------------------+   / Link                                                          /   +---------------------------------------------------------------+                        Figure 27: KeyLink Encoding3.6.4.1.4.5.  SignatureTime   The SignatureTime is a millisecond timestamp indicating the time at   which a signature was created.  The signer sets this field to the   current time when creating a signature.  A verifier may use this time   to determine whether or not the signature was created during the   validity period of a key, or if it occurred in a reasonable sequence   with other associated signatures.  The SignatureTime is unrelated to   any time associated with the actual CCNx Message, which could have   been created long before the signature.  The default behavior is to   always include a SignatureTime when creating an authenticated message   (e.g., HMAC or RSA).   SignatureTime is an unsigned integer in network byte order that   indicates when the signature was created (as the number of   milliseconds since the epoch in UTC).  It is a fixed 64-bit field.                        1                   2                   3    0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1   +---------------+---------------+-------------------------------+   |           T_SIGTIME           |               8               |   +---------------+---------------+-------------------------------+   /                         SignatureTime                         /   +---------------------------------------------------------------+                     Figure 28: SignatureTime EncodingMosko, et al.

Security Considerations   The CCNx protocol is a Layer 3 network protocol, which may also   operate as an overlay using other transports such as UDP or other   tunnels.  It includes intrinsic support for message authentication   via a signature (e.g., RSA or elliptic curve) or Message   Authentication Code (e.g., HMAC).  In lieu of an authenticator, it   may instead use a Message Integrity Check (e.g., SHA or CRC).  CCNx   does not specify an encryption envelope; that function is left to a   high-layer protocol (e.g., Encrypted Sessions in CCNx [esic]).   The CCNx Packet format includes the ability to attach MICs (e.g.,   SHA-256 or CRC), MACs (e.g., HMAC), and Signatures (e.g., RSA or   ECDSA) to all packet types.  Because Interest packets can be sent at   will, an application should carefully select when to use a given   ValidationAlgorithm in an Interest to avoid DoS attacks.  MICs, for   example, are inexpensive and could be used as desired, whereas MACs   and Signatures are more expensive and their inappropriate use could   open a computational DoS attack surface.  Applications should use an   explicit protocol to guide their use of packet signatures.  As a   general guideline, an application might use a MIC on an Interest to   detect unintentionally corrupted packets.  If one wishes to secure an   Interest, one should consider using an encrypted wrapper and a   protocol that prevents replay attacks, especially if the Interest is   being used as an actuator.  Simply using an authentication code or   signature does not make an Interest secure.  There are several   examples in the literature on how to secure ICN-style messaging   [mobile] [ace].Mosko, et al.                 Experimental                     [Page 41]

RFC 8609                        CCNx TLV                       July 2019   As a Layer 3 protocol, this document does not describe how one   arrives at keys or how one trusts keys.  The CCNx content object may   include a public key embedded in the object or may use the   PublicKeyLocator field to point to a public key (or public-key   certificate) that authenticates the message.  One key exchange   specification is CCNxKE [ccnxke] [mobile], which is similar to the   TLS 1.3 key exchange except it is over the CCNx Layer 3 messages.   Trust is beyond the scope of a Layer 3 protocol and is left to   applications or application frameworks.   The combination of an ephemeral key exchange (e.g., CCNxKE [ccnxke])   and an encapsulating encryption (e.g., [esic]) provides the   equivalent of a TLS tunnel.  Intermediate nodes may forward the   Interests and Content Objects but have no visibility inside.  It also   completely hides the internal names in those used by the encryption   layer.  This type of tunneling encryption is useful for content that   has little or no cacheability, as it can only be used by someone with   the ephemeral key.  Short-term caching may help with lossy links or   mobility, but long-term caching is usually not of interest.   Broadcast encryption or proxy re-encryption may be useful for content   with multiple uses over time or many consumers.  There is currently   no recommendation for this form of encryption.   The specific encoding of messages will have security implications.   This document uses a Type-Length-Value (TLV) encoding.  We chose to   compromise between extensibility and unambiguous encodings of types   and lengths.  Some TLV encodings use variable-length T and variable-   length L fields to accommodate a wide gamut of values while trying to   be byte efficient.  Our TLV encoding uses a fixed length 2-byte T and   2-byte L.  Using fixed-length T and L fields solves two problems.   The first is aliases.  If one is able to encode the same value, such   as 0x02 and 0x0002, in different byte lengths, then one must decide   if they mean the same thing, if they are different, or if one is   illegal.  If they are different, then one must always compare on the   buffers not the integer equivalents.  If one is illegal, then one   must validate the TLV encoding -- every field of every packet at   every hop.  If they are the same, then one has the second problem:   how to specify packet filters.  For example, if a name has 6 name   components, then there are 7 T fields and 7 L fields, each of which   might have up to 4 representations of the same value.  That would be   14 fields with 4 encodings each, or 1001 combinations.  It also means   that one cannot compare, for example, a name via a memory function,   as one needs to consider that any embedded T or L might have a   different format.Mosko, et al.

RFC 8609                        CCNx TLV                       July 2019   The Interest Return message has no authenticator from the previous   hop.  Therefore, the payload of the Interest Return should only be   used locally to match an Interest.  A node should never forward that   Interest payload as an Interest.  It should also verify that it sent   the Interest in the Interest Return to that node and not allow anyone   to negate Interest messages.   Caching nodes must take caution when processing content objects.  It   is essential that the Content Store obey the rules outlined in   [RFC8569] to avoid certain types of attacks.  CCNx 1.0 has no   mechanism to work around an undesired result from the network (there   are no "excludes"), so if a cache becomes poisoned with bad content   it might cause problems retrieving content.  There are three types of   access to content from a Content Store: unrestricted, signature   restricted, and hash restricted.  If an Interest has no restrictions,   then the requester is not particular about what they get back, so any   matching cached object is OK.  In the hash restricted case, the   requester is very specific about what they want, and the Content   Store (and every forward hop) can easily verify that the content   matches the request.  In the signature restricted case (which is   often used for initial manifest discovery), the requester only knows   the KeyId that signed the content.  This case requires the closest   attention in the Content Store to avoid amplifying bad data.  The   Content Store must only respond with a content object if it can   verify the signature -- this means either the content object carries   the public key inside it or the Interest carries the public key in   addition to the KeyId.  If that is not the case, then the Content   Store should treat the Interest as a cache miss and let an endpoint   respond.   A user-level cache could perform full signature verification by   fetching a public key according to the PublicKeyLocator.  However,   that is not a burden we wish to impose on the forwarder.  A user-   level cache could also rely on out-of-band attestation, such as the   cache operator only inserting content that it knows has the correct   signature.   The CCNx grammar allows for hash algorithm agility via the HashType.   It specifies a short list of acceptable hash algorithms that should   be implemented at each forwarder.  Some hash values only apply to end   systems, so updating the hash algorithm does not affect forwarders --   they would simply match the buffer that includes the type-length-hash   buffer.  Some fields, such as the ConObjHash, must be verified at   each hop, so a forwarder (or related system) must know the hash   algorithm, and it could cause backward compatibility problems if the   hash type is updated.Mosko, et al.

RFC 8609                        CCNx TLV                       July 2019   A CCNx name uses binary matching, whereas a URI uses a case-   insensitive hostname.  Some systems may also use case-insensitive   matching of the URI path to a resource.  An implication of this is   that human-entered CCNx names will likely have case or non-ASCII   symbol mismatches unless one uses a consistent URI normalization for   the CCNx name.  It also means that an entity that registers a CCNx-   routable prefix -- say, "ccnx:/example.com" -- would need separate   registrations for simple variations like "ccnx:/Example.com".  Unless   this is addressed in URI normalization and routing protocol   conventions, there could be phishing attacks.
