Security TEEP Trusted Execution Environment This document specifies a protocol that installs, updates, and deletes Trusted Components in a device with a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE). This specification defines an interoperable protocol for managing the lifecycle of Trusted Components.

Introduction The Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) concept has been designed to separate a regular operating system, also referred as a Rich Execution Environment (REE), from security-sensitive applications. In a TEE ecosystem, device vendors may use different operating systems in the REE and may use different types of TEEs. When Trusted Component Developers or Device Administrators use Trusted Application Managers (TAMs) to install, update, and delete Trusted Applications and their dependencies on a wide range of devices with potentially different TEEs then an interoperability need arises. This document specifies the protocol for communicating between a TAM and a TEEP Agent. The Trusted Execution Environment Provisioning (TEEP) architecture document provides design guidance and introduces the necessary terminology.

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 when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here. This specification re-uses the terminology defined in . As explained in Section 4.4 of that document, the TEEP protocol treats each Trusted Application (TA), any dependencies the TA has, and personalization data as separate components that are expressed in SUIT manifests, and a SUIT manifest might contain or reference multiple binaries (see for more details). As such, the term Trusted Component (TC) in this document refers to a set of binaries expressed in a SUIT manifest, to be installed in a TEE. Note that a Trusted Component may include one or more TAs and/or configuration data and keys needed by a TA to operate correctly. Each Trusted Component is uniquely identified by a SUIT Component Identifier (see Section 8.7.2.2). Attestation related terms, such as Evidence and Attestation Results, are as defined in .

Message Overview The TEEP protocol consists of messages exchanged between a TAM and a TEEP Agent. The messages are encoded in CBOR and designed to provide end-to-end security. TEEP protocol messages are signed by the endpoints, i.e., the TAM and the TEEP Agent, but Trusted Applications may also be encrypted and signed by a Trusted Component Developer or Device Administrator. The TEEP protocol not only uses CBOR but also the respective security wrapper, namely COSE . Furthermore, for software updates the SUIT manifest format is used, and for attestation the Entity Attestation Token (EAT) format is supported although other attestation formats are also permitted. This specification defines five messages: QueryRequest, QueryResponse, Update, Success, and Error. A TAM queries a device's current state with a QueryRequest message. A TEEP Agent will, after authenticating and authorizing the request, report attestation information, list all Trusted Components, and provide information about supported algorithms and extensions in a QueryResponse message. An error message is returned if the request could not be processed. A TAM will process the QueryResponse message and determine whether to initiate subsequent message exchanges to install, update, or delete Trusted Applications.

QueryResponse <------- or Error ]]> With the Update message a TAM can instruct a TEEP Agent to install and/or delete one or more Trusted Components. The TEEP Agent will process the message, determine whether the TAM is authorized and whether the Trusted Component has been signed by an authorized Trusted Component Signer. A Success message is returned when the operation has been completed successfully, or an Error message otherwise.

Success <---- or Error ]]>

Detailed Messages Specification TEEP messages are protected by the COSE_Sign1 or COSE_Sign structure as described in . The TEEP protocol messages are described in CDDL format below.

Creating and Validating TEEP Messages

Creating a TEEP message To create a TEEP message, the following steps are performed. Create a TEEP message according to the description below and populate it with the respective content. TEEP messages sent by TAMs (QueryRequest and Update) can include a "token". The TAM can decide, in any implementation-specific way, whether to include a token in a message. The first usage of a token generated by a TAM MUST be randomly created. Subsequent token values MUST be different for each subsequent message created by a TAM. Create a COSE Header containing the desired set of Header Parameters. The COSE Header MUST be valid per the specification. Create a COSE_Sign1 or COSE_Sign object using the TEEP message as the COSE_Sign1 or COSE_Sign Payload; all steps specified in for creating a COSE_Sign1 or COSE_Sign object MUST be followed.

Validating a TEEP Message When TEEP message is received (see the ProcessTeepMessage conceptual API defined in section 6.2.1), the following validation steps are performed. If any of the listed steps fail, then the TEEP message MUST be rejected. Verify that the received message is a valid CBOR object. Verify that the message contains a COSE_Sign1 or COSE_Sign structure. Verify that the resulting COSE Header includes only parameters and values whose syntax and semantics are both understood and supported or that are specified as being ignored when not understood. Follow the steps specified in Section 4 of ("Signing Objects") for validating a COSE_Sign1 or COSE_Sign object. The COSE_Sign1 or COSE_Sign payload is the content of the TEEP message. Verify that the TEEP message is a valid CBOR map and verify the fields of the TEEP message according to this specification.

QueryRequest Message A QueryRequest message is used by the TAM to learn information from the TEEP Agent, such as the features supported by the TEEP Agent, including cipher suites and protocol versions. Additionally, the TAM can selectively request data items from the TEEP Agent by using the data-item-requested parameter. Currently, the following features are supported: Request for attestation information of the TEEP Agent, Listing supported extensions, Querying installed Trusted Components, and Request for logging information in SUIT Reports. Like other TEEP messages, the QueryRequest message is signed, and the relevant CDDL snippet is shown below. The complete CDDL structure is shown in Appendix C.

bstr .size (8..64), ? supported-freshness-mechanisms => [ + $freshness-mechanism ], ? challenge => bstr .size (8..512), ? versions => [ + version ], ? attestation-payload-format => text, ? attestation-payload => bstr, ? suit-reports => [ + bstr ], * $$query-request-extensions, * $$teep-option-extensions }, supported-teep-cipher-suites: [ + $teep-cipher-suite ], supported-suit-cose-profiles: [ + $suit-cose-profile ], data-item-requested: uint .bits data-item-requested ] version = uint .size 4 ext-info = uint .size 4 ; data items as bitmaps data-item-requested = &( attestation: 0, trusted-components: 1, extensions: 2, suit-reports: 3, ) ]]> The message has the following fields:

type

The value of (1) corresponds to a QueryRequest message sent from the TAM to the TEEP Agent.

token

The value in the token parameter is used to match responses to requests, such as to look up any implementation-specific state it might have saved about that request, or to ignore responses to older QueryRequest messages before some configuration changes were made that affected their content. This is particularly useful when a TAM issues multiple concurrent requests to a TEEP Agent. The token MUST be present if and only if the attestation bit is clear in the data-item-requested value. The size of the token is at least 8 bytes (64 bits) and maximum of 64 bytes, which is the same as in an EAT Nonce Claim (see Section 3.3). The first usage of a token generated by a TAM MUST be randomly created. Subsequent token values MUST be different for each request message to distinguish the correct response from multiple requests. The token value MUST NOT be used for other purposes, such as a TAM to identify the devices and/or a device to identify TAMs or Trusted Components. The TAM SHOULD set an expiration time for each token and MUST ignore any messages with expired tokens. The TAM MUST expire the token value after receiving the first response containing the token value and ignore any subsequent messages that have the same token value.

supported-teep-cipher-suites

The supported-teep-cipher-suites parameter lists the TEEP cipher suites supported by the TAM. Details about the cipher suite encoding can be found in .

supported-suit-cose-profiles

The supported-suit-cose-profiles parameter lists the SUIT profiles supported by the TAM. Details about the cipher suite encoding can be found in .

data-item-requested

The data-item-requested parameter indicates what information the TAM requests from the TEEP Agent in the form of a bitmap.

attestation (1): With this value the TAM requests the TEEP Agent to return an attestation payload, whether Evidence (e.g., an EAT) or an Attestation Result, in the response.
trusted-components (2): With this value the TAM queries the TEEP Agent for all installed Trusted Components.
extensions (4): With this value the TAM queries the TEEP Agent for supported capabilities and extensions, which allows a TAM to discover the capabilities of a TEEP Agent implementation.
suit-reports (8): With this value the TAM requests the TEEP Agent to return SUIT Reports in the response.

Further values may be added in the future.

supported-freshness-mechanisms

The supported-freshness-mechanisms parameter lists the freshness mechanism(s) supported by the TAM. Details about the encoding can be found in . If this parameter is absent, it means only the nonce mechanism is supported. It MUST be absent if the attestation bit is clear.

challenge

The challenge field is an optional parameter used for ensuring the freshness of attestation evidence returned with a QueryResponse message. It MUST be absent if the attestation bit is clear or the Passport model is used (since the token is used instead in those cases). When a challenge is provided in the QueryRequest and Evidence in the form of an EAT is returned with a QueryResponse message then the challenge contained in this request MUST be used to generate the EAT, by copying the challenge into the eat_nonce in the EAT profile if using the Nonce freshness mechanism. For more details see . If any format other than EAT is used, it is up to that format to define the use of the challenge field.

versions

The versions parameter enumerates the TEEP protocol version(s) supported by the TAM. A value of 0 refers to the current version of the TEEP protocol. If this field is not present, it is to be treated the same as if it contained only version 0.

attestation-payload-format

The attestation-payload-format parameter indicates the IANA Media Type of the attestation-payload parameter, where media type parameters are permitted after the media type. For protocol version 0, the absence of this parameter indicates that the format is "application/eat+cwt; eat_profile=https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-teep-protocol-12" (see for further discussion). (RFC-editor: upon RFC publication, replace URI above with "https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfcXXXX" where XXXX is the RFC number of this document.) It MUST be present if the attestation-payload parameter is present and the format is not an EAT in CWT format with the profile defined below in .

attestation-payload

The attestation-payload parameter contains Evidence or an Attestation Result for the TEEP Agent to use to perform attestation of the TAM. If the attestation-payload-format parameter is absent, the attestation payload contained in this parameter MUST be an Entity Attestation Token following the encoding defined in . See for further discussion.

suit-reports

If present, the suit-reports parameter contains a set of "boot" (including starting an executable in an OS context) time SUIT Reports of the TAM as defined by SUIT_Report in Section 4 of , encoded using COSE as discussed in . SUIT Reports can be useful in QueryRequest messages to pass additional information about the TAM to the TEEP Agent without depending on a Verifier including the relevant information in the TAM's Attestation Results.

QueryResponse Message The QueryResponse message is the successful response by the TEEP Agent after receiving a QueryRequest message. As discussed in , it can also be sent unsolicited if the contents of the QueryRequest are already known and do not vary per message. Like other TEEP messages, the QueryResponse message is signed, and the relevant CDDL snippet is shown below. The complete CDDL structure is shown in Appendix C.

bstr .size (8..64), ? selected-teep-cipher-suite => $teep-cipher-suite, ? selected-version => version, ? attestation-payload-format => text, ? attestation-payload => bstr, ? suit-reports => [ + bstr ], ? tc-list => [ + system-property-claims ], ? requested-tc-list => [ + requested-tc-info ], ? unneeded-manifest-list => [ + SUIT_Component_Identifier ], ? ext-list => [ + ext-info ], * $$query-response-extensions, * $$teep-option-extensions } ] requested-tc-info = { component-id => SUIT_Component_Identifier, ? tc-manifest-sequence-number => uint .size 8, ? have-binary => bool } ]]> The QueryResponse message has the following fields:

type: The value of (2) corresponds to a QueryResponse message sent from the TEEP Agent to the TAM.
token: The value in the token parameter is used to match responses to requests. The value MUST correspond to the value received with the QueryRequest message if one was present, and MUST be absent if no token was present in the QueryRequest.
selected-teep-cipher-suite: The selected-teep-cipher-suite parameter indicates the selected TEEP cipher suite. If this parameter is not present, it is to be treated as if the TEEP Agent accepts any TEEP cipher suites listed in the QueryRequest, so the TAM can select one. Details about the TEEP cipher suite encoding can be found in .
selected-version: The selected-version parameter indicates the TEEP protocol version selected by the TEEP Agent. The absence of this parameter indicates the same as if it was present with a value of 0.
attestation-payload-format: The attestation-payload-format parameter indicates the IANA Media Type of the attestation-payload parameter, where media type parameters are permitted after the media type. For protocol version 0, the absence of this parameter indicates that the format is "application/eat+cwt; eat_profile=https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-teep-protocol-12" (see for further discussion). (RFC-editor: upon RFC publication, replace URI above with "https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfcXXXX" where XXXX is the RFC number of this document.) It MUST be present if the attestation-payload parameter is present and the format is not an EAT in CWT format with the profile defined below in .
attestation-payload: The attestation-payload parameter contains Evidence or an Attestation Result. This parameter MUST be present if the QueryResponse is sent in response to a QueryRequest with the attestation bit set. If the attestation-payload-format parameter is absent, the attestation payload contained in this parameter MUST be an Entity Attestation Token following the encoding defined in . See for further discussion.
suit-reports: If present, the suit-reports parameter contains a set of "boot" (including starting an executable in an OS context) time SUIT Reports as defined by SUIT_Report in Section 4 of , encoded using COSE as discussed in . If a token parameter was present in the QueryRequest message the QueryResponse message is in response to, the suit-report-nonce field MUST be present in the SUIT Report with a value matching the token parameter in the QueryRequest message. SUIT Reports can be useful in QueryResponse messages to pass information to the TAM without depending on a Verifier including the relevant information in Attestation Results.
tc-list: The tc-list parameter enumerates the Trusted Components installed on the device in the form of system-property-claims objects, as defined in Section 4 of . The system-property-claims can be used to learn device identifying information and TEE identifying information for distinguishing which Trusted Components to install in the TEE. This parameter MUST be present if the QueryResponse is sent in response to a QueryRequest with the trusted-components bit set.
requested-tc-list: The requested-tc-list parameter enumerates the Trusted Components that are not currently installed in the TEE, but which are requested to be installed, for example by an installer of an Untrusted Application that has a TA as a dependency, or by a Trusted Application that has another Trusted Component as a dependency. Requested Trusted Components are expressed in the form of requested-tc-info objects. A TEEP Agent can get this information from the RequestTA conceptual API defined in section 6.2.1.
unneeded-manifest-list: The unneeded-manifest-list parameter enumerates the SUIT manifests whose components are currently installed in the TEE, but which are no longer needed by any other application. The TAM can use this information in determining whether a SUIT manifest can be unlinked. Each unneeded SUIT manifest is identified by its SUIT Manifest Component ID (note that this is the Component ID for the manifest itself, which is different from the Component ID of a component installed by the manifest, see for more discussion). A TEEP Agent can get this information from the UnrequestTA conceptual API defined in section 6.2.1.
ext-list: The ext-list parameter lists the supported extensions. This document does not define any extensions. This parameter MUST be present if the QueryResponse is sent in response to a QueryRequest with the extensions bit set.

The requested-tc-info message has the following fields:

component-id: A SUIT Component Identifier.
tc-manifest-sequence-number: The minimum suit-manifest-sequence-number value from a SUIT manifest for the Trusted Component. If not present, indicates that any sequence number will do.
have-binary: If present with a value of true, indicates that the TEEP Agent already has the Trusted Component binary and only needs an Update message with a SUIT manifest that authorizes installing it. If have-binary is true, the tc-manifest-sequence-number field MUST be present.

Evidence and Attestation Results Section 7 of lists information that may appear in Evidence depending on the circumstance. However, the Evidence is opaque to the TEEP protocol and there are no formal requirements on the contents of Evidence. TAMs however consume Attestation Results and do need enough information therein to make decisions on how to remediate a TEE that is out of compliance, or update a TEE that is requesting an authorized change. To do so, the information in Section 7 of is often required depending on the policy. Attestation Results SHOULD use Entity Attestation Tokens (EATs). Use of any other format, such as a widely implemented format for a specific processor vendor, is permitted but increases the complexity of the TAM by requiring it to understand the format for each such format rather than only the common EAT format so is not recommended. When an EAT is used, the following claims can be used to meet those requirements, whether these claims appear in Attestation Results, or in Evidence for the Verifier to use when generating Attestation Results of some form: Requirement Claim Reference Freshness proof nonce Section 4.1 of Device unique identifier ueid Section 4.2.1 of Vendor of the device oemid Section 4.2.3 of Class of the device hwmodel Section 4.2.4 of TEE hardware type hwversion Section 4.2.5 of TEE hardware version hwversion Section 4.2.5 of TEE firmware type manifests Section 4.2.15 of TEE firmware version manifests Section 4.2.15 of The "manifests" claim should include information about the TEEP Agent as well as any of its dependencies such as firmware.

Update Message The Update message is used by the TAM to install and/or delete one or more Trusted Components via the TEEP Agent. It can also be used to pass a successful Attestation Report back to the TEEP Agent when the TAM is configured as an intermediary between the TEEP Agent and a Verifier, as shown in the figure below, where the Attestation Result passed back to the Attester can be used as a so-called "passport" (see section 5.1 of ) that can be presented to other Relying Parties.

| Other | | / Attester | Attestation | Relying Party | +---------------+ Result +---------------+ Figure 1: Example use of TEEP and attestation ]]> Like other TEEP messages, the Update message is signed, and the relevant CDDL snippet is shown below. The complete CDDL structure is shown in Appendix C.

bstr .size (8..64), ? unneeded-manifest-list => [ + SUIT_Component_Identifier ], ? manifest-list => [ + bstr .cbor SUIT_Envelope ], ? attestation-payload-format => text, ? attestation-payload => bstr, ? err-code => (0..23), ? err-msg => text .size (1..128), * $$update-extensions, * $$teep-option-extensions } ] ]]> The Update message has the following fields:

type: The value of (3) corresponds to an Update message sent from the TAM to the TEEP Agent. In case of successful processing, a Success message is returned by the TEEP Agent. In case of an error, an Error message is returned. Note that the Update message is used for initial Trusted Component installation as well as for updates and deletes.
token: The value in the token field is used to match responses to requests.
unneeded-manifest-list: The unneeded-manifest-list parameter enumerates the SUIT manifests to be unlinked. Each unneeded SUIT manifest is identified by its SUIT Manifest Component ID. The SUIT manifest processor MAY execute uninstall section in the manifest.
manifest-list: The manifest-list field is used to convey one or multiple SUIT manifests to install. A manifest is a bundle of metadata about a Trusted Component, such as where to find the code, the devices to which it applies, and cryptographic information protecting the manifest. The manifest may also convey personalization data. Trusted Component binaries and personalization data can be signed and encrypted by the same Trusted Component Signer. Other combinations are, however, possible as well. For example, it is also possible for the TAM to sign and encrypt the personalization data and to let the Trusted Component Developer sign and/or encrypt the Trusted Component binary.
attestation-payload-format: The attestation-payload-format parameter indicates the IANA Media Type of the attestation-payload parameter, where media type parameters are permitted after the media type. The absence of this parameter indicates that the format is "application/eat+cwt; eat_profile=https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-teep-protocol-12" (see for further discussion). (RFC-editor: upon RFC publication, replace URI above with "https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfcXXXX" where XXXX is the RFC number of this document.) It MUST be present if the attestation-payload parameter is present and the format is not an EAT in CWT format with the profile defined below in .
attestation-payload: The attestation-payload parameter contains an Attestation Result. This parameter If the attestation-payload-format parameter is absent, the attestation payload contained in this parameter MUST be an Entity Attestation Token following the encoding defined in . See for further discussion.
err-code: The err-code parameter contains one of the error codes listed in the , which describes the reasons for the error when performing QueryResponse in the TAM.
err-msg: The err-msg parameter is human-readable diagnostic text that MUST be encoded using UTF-8 in Net-Unicode format with a maximum of 128 bytes.

Note that an Update message carrying one or more SUIT manifests will inherently involve multiple signatures, one by the TAM in the TEEP message and one from a Trusted Component Signer inside each manifest. This is intentional as they are for different purposes. The TAM is what authorizes apps to be installed, updated, and deleted on a given TEE and so the TEEP signature is checked by the TEEP Agent at protocol message processing time. (This same TEEP security wrapper is also used on messages like QueryRequest so that Agents only send potentially sensitive data such as Evidence to trusted TAMs.) The Trusted Component signer on the other hand is what authorizes the Trusted Component to actually run, so the manifest signature could be checked at install time or load (or run) time or both, and this checking is done by the TEE independent of whether TEEP is used or some other update mechanism. See section 5 of for further discussion. The Update Message has a SUIT_Envelope containing SUIT manifests. Following are some example scenarios using SUIT manifests in the Update Message.

Scenario 1: Having one SUIT Manifest pointing to a URI of a Trusted Component Binary In this scenario, a SUIT Manifest has a URI pointing to a Trusted Component Binary. A Trusted Component Developer creates a new Trusted Component Binary and hosts it at a Trusted Component Developer's URI. Then the Trusted Component Developer generates an associated SUIT manifest with the filename "tc-uuid.suit" that contains the URI. The filename "tc-uuid.suit" is used in Scenario 3 later. The TAM receives the latest SUIT manifest from the Trusted Component Developer, and the URI it contains will not be changeable by the TAM since the SUIT manifest is signed by the Trusted Component Developer. Pros: The Trusted Component Developer can ensure that the intact Trusted Component Binary is downloaded by devices The TAM does not have to send large Update messages containing the Trusted Component Binary Cons: The Trusted Component Developer must host the Trusted Component Binary server The device must fetch the Trusted Component Binary in another connection after receiving an Update message A device's IP address and therefore location may be revealed to the Trusted Component Binary server

Scenario 2: Having a SUIT Manifest include the Trusted Component Binary In this scenario, the SUIT manifest contains the entire Trusted Component Binary as an integrated payload (see Section 7.5). A Trusted Component Developer delegates the task of delivering the Trusted Component Binary to the TAM inside the SUIT manifest. The Trusted Component Developer creates a SUIT manifest and embeds the Trusted Component Binary, which is referenced in the suit-integrated-payload element containing the fragment-only reference "#tc", in the envelope. The Trusted Component Developer transmits the entire bundle to the TAM. The TAM serves the SUIT manifest containing the Trusted Component Binary to the device in an Update message. Pros: The device can obtain the Trusted Component Binary and the SUIT manifest in one Update message. The Trusted Component Developer does not have to host a server to deliver the Trusted Component Binary to devices. Cons: The TAM must host the Trusted Component Binary rather than delegating storage to the Trusted Component Developer. The TAM must deliver Trusted Component Binaries in Update messages, which increases the size of the Update message.

Scenario 3: Supplying Personalization Data for the Trusted Component Binary In this scenario, Personalization Data is associated with the Trusted Component Binary "tc-uuid.suit" from Scenario 1. The Trusted Component Developer places encrypted Personalization Data in the SUIT manifest, and it will be delivered by the TAM. The SUIT manifest processor decrypts it and then store it into file named "config.json", and then install the dependency component. The TAM delivers the SUIT manifest of the Personalization Data which depends on the Trusted Component Binary from Scenario 1.

Success Message The Success message is used by the TEEP Agent to return a success in response to an Update message. Like other TEEP messages, the Success message is signed, and the relevant CDDL snippet is shown below. The complete CDDL structure is shown in Appendix C.

bstr .size (8..64), ? msg => text .size (1..128), ? suit-reports => [ + SUIT_Report ], * $$teep-success-extensions, * $$teep-option-extensions } ] ]]> The Success message has the following fields:

type: The value of (5) corresponds to corresponds to a Success message sent from the TEEP Agent to the TAM.
token: The value in the token parameter is used to match responses to requests. It MUST match the value of the token parameter in the Update message the Success is in response to, if one was present. If none was present, the token MUST be absent in the Success message.
msg: The msg parameter contains optional diagnostics information encoded in UTF-8 using Net-Unicode form with max 128 bytes returned by the TEEP Agent.
suit-reports: If present, the suit-reports parameter contains a set of SUIT Reports as defined in Section 4 of . If a token parameter was present in the Update message the Success message is in response to, the suit-report-nonce field MUST be present in the SUIT Report with a value matching the token parameter in the Update message.

Error Message The Error message is used by the TEEP Agent to return an error in response to a message from the TAM. Like other TEEP messages, the Error message is signed, and the relevant CDDL snippet is shown below. The complete CDDL structure is shown in Appendix C.

type: The value of (6) corresponds to an Error message sent from the TEEP Agent to the TAM.
token: The value in the token parameter is used to match responses to requests. It MUST match the value of the token parameter in the message the Success is in response to, if one was present. If none was present, the token MUST be absent in the Error message.
err-msg: The err-msg parameter is human-readable diagnostic text that MUST be encoded using UTF-8 using Net-Unicode form with max 128 bytes.
supported-teep-cipher-suites: The supported-teep-cipher-suites parameter lists the TEEP cipher suite(s) supported by the TEEP Agent. Details about the cipher suite encoding can be found in . This otherwise optional parameter MUST be returned if err-code is ERR_UNSUPPORTED_CIPHER_SUITES.
supported-freshness-mechanisms: The supported-freshness-mechanisms parameter lists the freshness mechanism(s) supported by the TEEP Agent. Details about the encoding can be found in . This otherwise optional parameter MUST be returned if err-code is ERR_UNSUPPORTED_FRESHNESS_MECHANISMS.
challenge: The challenge field is an optional parameter used for ensuring the freshness of attestation evidence included with a QueryRequest message. When a challenge is provided in the Error message and Evidence in the form of an EAT is returned with a QueryRequest message then the challenge contained in the Error message MUST be used to generate the EAT, by copying the challenge value into the eat_nonce claim, as described in the EAT profile , if the nonce-based freshness mechanism is used. For more details see . If any format other than EAT is used, it is up to that format to define the use of the challenge field.
versions: The versions parameter enumerates the TEEP protocol version(s) supported by the TEEP Agent. This otherwise optional parameter MUST be returned if err-code is ERR_UNSUPPORTED_MSG_VERSION.
suit-reports: If present, the suit-reports parameter contains a set of SUIT Reports as defined in Section 4 of . If a token parameter was present in the Update message the Error message is in response to, the suit-report-nonce field MUST be present in the SUIT Report with a value matching the token parameter in the Update message.
err-code: The err-code parameter contains one of the error codes listed below). Only selected values are applicable to each message.

This specification defines the following initial error messages:

ERR_PERMANENT_ERROR (1): The received TEEP message contained incorrect fields or fields that are inconsistent with other fields. For diagnosis purposes it is RECOMMMENDED to identify the failure reason in the error message field. A TEEP implementation receiving this error might refuse to communicate further with the problematic TEEP message sender, by silently dropping any TEEP messages received, for some period of time until it has reason to believe it is worth trying again, but it should take care not to give up on communication. In contrast, ERR_TEMPORARY_ERROR is an indication that a more aggressive retry is warranted.
ERR_UNSUPPORTED_EXTENSION (2): The TEEP implementation does not support an extension included in the TEEP message it received. For diagnosis purposes it is RECOMMMENDED to identify the unsupported extension in the error message field. A TAM implementation receiving this error might retry sending the last message it sent to the sender of this error, without using any TEEP extensions.
ERR_UNSUPPORTED_FRESHNESS_MECHANISMS (3): The TEEP Agent does not support any freshness algorithm mechanisms in the request message. A TAM receiving this error might retry the request using a different set of supported freshness mechanisms in the request message.
ERR_UNSUPPORTED_MSG_VERSION (4): The TEEP implementation does not support the TEEP protocol version indicated in the received message. A TAM receiving this error might retry the request using a different TEEP protocol version.
ERR_UNSUPPORTED_CIPHER_SUITES (5): The TEEP Agent does not support any cipher suites indicated in the request message. A TAM receiving this error might retry the request using a different set of supported cipher suites in the request message.
ERR_BAD_CERTIFICATE (6): Processing of a certificate failed. For diagnosis purposes it is RECOMMMENDED to include information about the failing certificate in the error message field. For example, the certificate was of an unsupported type, or the certificate was revoked by its signer. A TEEP implementation receiving this error might attempt to use an alternate certificate.
ERR_ATTESTATION_REQUIRED (7): Indicates that the TEEP implementation sending this error requires attestation of the TEEP imlementation receiving this error.
ERR_CERTIFICATE_EXPIRED (9): A certificate has expired or is not currently valid. A TEEP implementation receiving this error might attempt to renew its certificate before using it again.
ERR_TEMPORARY_ERROR (10): A miscellaneous temporary error, such as a memory allocation failure, occurred while processing the TEEP message. A TEEP implementation receiving this error might retry the last message it sent to the sender of this error at some later point, which is up to the implementation.
ERR_MANIFEST_PROCESSING_FAILED (17): The TEEP Agent encountered one or more manifest processing failures. If the suit-reports parameter is present, it contains the failure details. A TAM receiving this error might still attempt to install or update other components that do not depend on the failed manifest.

New error codes should be added sparingly, not for every implementation error. That is the intent of the err-msg field, which can be used to provide details meaningful to humans. New error codes should only be added if the TAM is expected to do something behaviorally different upon receipt of the error message, rather than just logging the event. Hence, each error code is responsible for saying what the behavioral difference is expected to be.

EAT Profile The TEEP protocol operates between a TEEP Agent and a TAM. While the TEEP protocol does not require use of EAT, use of EAT is encouraged and explicitly defines a way to carry an Entity Attestation Token in a QueryResponse. As discussed in , the content of Evidence is opaque to the TEEP architecture, but the content of Attestation Results is not, where Attestation Results flow between a Verifier and a TAM (as the Relying Party). Although Attestation Results required by a TAM are separable from the TEEP protocol per se, this section is included as part of the requirements for building a compliant TAM that uses EATs for Attestation Results. Section 7 of defines the requirement for Entity Attestation Token profiles. This section defines an EAT profile for use with TEEP. profile-label: The profile-label for this specification is the URI https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-teep-protocol-12. (RFC-editor: upon RFC publication, replace string with "https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfcXXXX" where XXXX is the RFC number of this document.) Use of JSON, CBOR, or both: CBOR only. CBOR Map and Array Encoding: Only definite length arrays and maps. CBOR String Encoding: Only definite-length strings are allowed. CBOR Preferred Serialization: Encoders must use preferred serialization, and decoders need not accept non-preferred serialization. CBOR Tags: CBOR Tags are not used. COSE/JOSE Protection: See . COSE/JOSE Algorithms: See . Detached EAT Bundle Support: DEB use is permitted. Key Identification: COSE Key ID (kid) is used, where the key ID is the hash of a public key (where the public key may be used as a raw public key, or in a certificate) as specified in . See and for discussion on the choice of hash algorithm. Endorsement Identification: Optional, but semantics are the same as in Verification Key Identification. Freshness: See for details. When the eat_nonce claim is used, the value is a single bstr. Claims Requirements: The following claims are required: ueid, oemid, hwmodel, hwversion, manifests, and cnf. See for discussion. Other claims are optional. See for discussion affecting whether the eat_nonce claim is used. The sw-name claim for a Trusted Component holds the URI of the SUIT manifest for that component. The manifests claim uses a SUIT manifest, where the manifest body contains a SUIT_Reference as defined in Section 4 of , and the content type is as defined in . A TAM implementation might simply accept a TEEP Agent as trustworthy based on a successful Attestation Result, and if not then attempt to update the TEEP Agent and all of its dependencies. This logic is simple but it might result in updating some components that do not need to be updated. An alternate TAM implementation might use any Additional Claims to determine whether the TEEP Agent or any of its dependencies are trustworthy, and only update the specific components that are out of date.

Relationship to AR4SI defines an EAT profile for arbitrary Relying Parties to use with Attestation Results. However the TAM as a Relying Party needs specific claims that are not required in the AR4SI profile, and so needs its own more specific profile. In some deployments, a TAM can be used as an intermediary between Verifier and a TEEP Agent acting as an Attester in the Passport model or acting as a Relying Party in the Background Check Model of . This is depicted in the example in Figure 1. In such a case, both profiles need to be obtained from the Verifier: one for use by the TAM itself, and the other to pass on to the TEEP Agent. When the TAM and Verifier are combined into the same implementation, obtaining both profiles can be straightforward, but when they are on different machines, the situation is more complex, especially if Nonces are used to ensure freshness of Evidence. There are thus several such cases: The protocol between the TAM and the Verifier (which is outside the scope of TEEP itself) allows requesting multiple Attestation Results from the same Evidence. In this case, the TAM can request both EAT profiles be returned. The protocol between the TAM and the Verifier only allows requesting one Attestation Result format, but the Evidence freshness mechanism does not use Nonces. In this case, the TAM can send the same Evidence in two separate requests, each requesting a different EAT profile for the Attestation Results. The protocol between the TAM and the Verifier only allows requesting one Attestation Result format, and the Evidence freshness mechanism uses Nonces. In this case, it is simpler to not have the TAM be an intermediary, since the Verifier will require a separate Nonce for each Attestation Result, but have the Attester or Relying Party contact the Verifier directly to get Attestation Results in the AR4SI profile.

Mapping of TEEP Message Parameters to CBOR Labels In COSE, arrays and maps use strings, negative integers, and unsigned integers as their keys. Integers are used for compactness of encoding. Since the word "key" is mainly used in its other meaning, as a cryptographic key, this specification uses the term "label" for this usage as a map key. This specification uses the following mapping: Name Label supported-teep-cipher-suites 1 challenge 2 versions 3 supported-suit-cose-profiles 4 selected-teep-cipher-suite 5 selected-version 6 attestation-payload 7 tc-list 8 ext-list 9 manifest-list 10 msg 11 err-msg 12 attestation-payload-format 13 requested-tc-list 14 unneeded-manifest-list 15 component-id 16 tc-manifest-sequence-number 17 have-binary 18 suit-reports 19 token 20 supported-freshness-mechanisms 21 err-code 23

Behavior Specification Behavior is specified in terms of the conceptual APIs defined in section 6.2.1 of .

TAM Behavior When the ProcessConnect API is invoked, the TAM sends a QueryRequest message. When the ProcessTeepMessage API is invoked, the TAM first does validation as specified in , and drops the message if it is not valid. It may also do additional implementation specific actions such as logging the results or attempting to update the TEEP Agent to a version that does not send invalid messages. Otherwise, it proceeds as follows. If the message includes a token, it can be used to match the response to a request previously sent by the TAM. The TAM MUST expire the token value after receiving the first response from the device that has a valid signature and ignore any subsequent messages that have the same token value. The token value MUST NOT be used for other purposes, such as a TAM to identify the devices and/or a device to identify TAMs or Trusted Components.

Handling a QueryResponse Message If a QueryResponse message is received, the TAM verifies the presence of any parameters required based on the data-items-requested in the QueryRequest, and also validates that the nonce in any SUIT Report matches the token sent in the QueryRequest message if a token was present. If these requirements are not met, the TAM drops the message and sends an Update message containing an appropriate err-code and err-msg. It may also do additional implementation specific actions such as logging the results. If the requirements are met, processing continues as follows. If a QueryResponse message is received that contains an attestation-payload, the TAM checks whether it contains Evidence or an Attestation Result by inspecting the attestation-payload-format parameter. The media type defined in indicates an Attestation Result, though future extensions might also indicate other Attestation Result formats in the future. Any other unrecognized value indicates Evidence. If it contains an Attestation Result, processing continues as in . If the QueryResponse is instead determined to contain Evidence, the TAM passes the Evidence (via some mechanism out of scope of this document) to an attestation Verifier (see ) to determine whether the Agent is in a trustworthy state. Once the TAM receives an Attestation Result from the Verifier, processing continues as in .

Handling an Attestation Result The Attestation Result must first be validated as follows: Verify that the Attestation Result was signed by a Verifier that the TAM trusts. Verify that the Attestation Result contains a "cnf" claim (as defined in Section 3.1 of ) where the key ID is the hash of the TEEP Agent public key used to verify the signature on the TEEP message, and the hash is computed using the Digest Algorithm specified by one of the SUIT profiles supported by the TAM (SHA-256 for the ones mandated in this document). See Sections 3.4 and 6 of for more discussion. Based on the results of attestation (if any), any SUIT Reports, and the lists of installed, requested, and unneeded Trusted Components reported in the QueryResponse, the TAM determines, in any implementation specific manner, which Trusted Components need to be installed, updated, or deleted, if any. There are in typically three cases: Attestation failed. This indicates that the rest of the information in the QueryResponse cannot necessarily be trusted, as the TEEP Agent may not be healthy (or at least up to date). In this case, the TAM might attempt to use TEEP to update any Trusted Components (e.g., firmware, the TEEP Agent itself, etc.) needed to get the TEEP Agent back into an up-to-date state that would allow attestation to succeed. If the TAM does not have permission to update such components (this can happen if different TAMs manage different components in the device), the TAM instead responds with an Update message containing an appropriate err-msg, and err-code set to ERR_ATTESTATION_REQUIRED. Attestation succeeded (so the QueryResponse information can be accepted as valid), but the set of Trusted Components needs to be updated based on TAM policy changes or requests from the TEEP Agent. Attestation succeeded, and no changes are needed. If any Trusted Components need to be installed, updated, or deleted, the TAM sends an Update message containing SUIT Manifests with command sequences to do the relevant installs, updates, or deletes. It is important to note that the TEEP Agent's Update Procedure requires resolving and installing any dependencies indicated in the manifest, which may take some time, and the resulting Success or Error message is generated only after completing the Update Procedure. Hence, depending on the freshness mechanism in use, the TAM may need to store data (e.g., a nonce) for some time. For example, if a mobile device needs an unmetered connection to download a dependency, it may take hours or longer before the device has sufficient access. A different freshness mechanism, such as timestamps, might be more appropriate in such cases. If no Trusted Components need to be installed, updated, or deleted, but the QueryResponse included Evidence, the TAM MAY (e.g., based on attestation-payload-format parameters received from the TEEP Agent in the QueryResponse) still send an Update message with no SUIT Manifests, to pass the Attestation Result back to the TEEP Agent.

Handling a Success or Error Message If a Success or Error message is received containing one or more SUIT Reports, the TAM also validates that the nonce in any SUIT Report matches the token sent in the Update message, and drops the message if it does not match. Otherwise, the TAM handles the update in any implementation specific way, such as updating any locally cached information about the state of the TEEP Agent, or logging the results. If an Error message is received with the error code ERR_ATTESTATION_REQUIRED, it indicates that the TEEP Agent is requesting attestation of the TAM. In this case, the TAM MUST send another QueryRequest with an attestation-payload and optionally a suit-report to the TEEP Agent. If any other Error message is received, the TAM can handle it in any implementation specific way, but provides recommendations for such handling.

TEEP Agent Behavior When the RequestTA API is invoked, the TEEP Agent first checks whether the requested TA is already installed. If it is already installed, the TEEP Agent passes no data back to the caller. Otherwise, if the TEEP Agent chooses to initiate the process of requesting the indicated TA, it determines (in any implementation specific way) the TAM URI based on any TAM URI provided by the RequestTA caller and any local configuration, and passes back the TAM URI to connect to. It MAY also pass back a QueryResponse message if all of the following conditions are true: The last QueryRequest message received from that TAM contained no token or challenge, The ProcessError API was not invoked for that TAM since the last QueryResponse message was received from it, and The public key or certificate of the TAM is cached and not expired. When the RequestPolicyCheck API is invoked, the TEEP Agent decides whether to initiate communication with any trusted TAMs (e.g., it might choose to do so for a given TAM unless it detects that it has already communicated with that TAM recently). If so, it passes back a TAM URI to connect to. If the TEEP Agent has multiple TAMs it needs to connect with, it just passes back one, with the expectation that RequestPolicyCheck API will be invoked to retrieve each one successively until there are no more and it can pass back no data at that time. Thus, once a TAM URI is returned, the TEEP Agent can remember that it has already initiated communication with that TAM. When the ProcessError API is invoked, the TEEP Agent can handle it in any implementation specific way, such as logging the error or using the information in future choices of TAM URI. When the ProcessTeepMessage API is invoked, the Agent first does validation as specified in , and if it is not valid then the Agent responds with an Error message. Otherwise, processing continues as follows based on the type of message. When a QueryRequest message is received, the Agent responds with a QueryResponse message if all fields were understood, or an Error message if any error was encountered. If the TEEP Agent requires attesting the TAM, the TEEP Agent MUST send the Error Message with the error code ERR_ATTESTATION_REQUIRED supplying the supported-freshness-mechanisms or the challenge. When an Update message is received, the Agent attempts to unlink any SUIT manifests listed in the unneeded-manifest-list field of the message, and responds with an Error message if any error was encountered. If the unneeded-manifest-list was empty, or no error was encountered processing it, the Agent attempts to update the Trusted Components specified in the SUIT manifests by following the Update Procedure specified in , and responds with a Success message if all SUIT manifests were successfully installed, or an Error message if any error was encountered. It is important to note that the Update Procedure requires resolving and installing any dependencies indicated in the manifest, which may take some time, and the Success or Error message is generated only after completing the Update Procedure.

Handling a QueryRequest Message When a QueryRequest message is received, it is processed as follows. If the TEEP Agent requires attesting the TAM and the QueryRequest message did not contain an attestation-payload, the TEEP Agent MUST send an Error Message with the error code ERR_ATTESTATION_REQUIRED supplying the supported-freshness-mechanisms and challenge if needed. Otherwise, processing continues as follows. If the TEEP Agent requires attesting the TAM and the QueryRequest message did contain an an attestation-payload, the TEEP Agent checks whether it contains Evidence or an Attestation Result by inspecting the attestation-payload-format parameter. The media type defined in indicates an Attestation Result, though future extensions might also indicate other Attestation Result formats in the future. Any other unrecognized value indicates Evidence. If it contains an Attestation Result, processing continues as in . If the QueryRequest is instead determined to contain Evidence, the TEEP Agent passes the Evidence (via some mechanism out of scope of this document) to an attestation Verifier (see ) to determine whether the TAM is in a trustworthy state. Once the TEEP Agent receives an Attestation Result from the Verifier, processing continues as in . Once the Attestation Result is handled, or if the TEEP Agent does not require attesting the TAM, the Agent responds with a QueryResponse message if all fields were understood, or an Error message if any error was encountered.

Handling an Attestation Result The Attestation Result must first be validated as follows: Verify that the Attestation Result was signed by a Verifier that the TEEP Agent trusts. Verify that the Attestation Result contains a "cnf" claim (as defined in Section 3.1 of ) where the key ID is the hash of the TAM public key used to verify the signature on the TEEP message, and the hash is computed using the Digest Algorithm specified by one of the SUIT profiles supported by the TEEP Agent (SHA-256 for the ones mandated in this document). See Sections 3.4 and 6 of for more discussion.

Cipher Suites TEEP requires algorithms for various purposes: Algorithms for signing TEEP messages exchanged between the TEEP Agent and the TAM. Algorithms for signing EAT-based Evidence sent by the Attester via the TEEP Agent and the TAM to the Verifier. (If evidence is not encrypted by the TEEP Agent then it will be opaque to the TEEP Agent and to the TAM.) Algorithms for encrypting EAT-based Evidence sent by the TEEP Agent to the TAM. (The TAM will decrypt the encrypted Evidence and will forward it to the Verifier.) Algorithms for signing and optionally encrypting SUIT reports sent by the TEEP Agent to the TAM. Algorithms for signing and optionally encrypting SUIT manifests sent by the Trusted Component Signer to the TEEP Agent. Further details are provided for the protection of TEEP messages, SUIT Reports, and EATs.

TEEP Messages The TEEP protocol uses COSE for protection of TEEP messages in both directions. To negotiate cryptographic mechanisms and algorithms, the TEEP protocol defines the following cipher suite structure, which is used to specify an ordered set of operations (e.g., sign) done as part of composing a TEEP message. Although this specification only specifies the use of signing and relies on payload encryption to protect sensitive information, future extensions might specify support for encryption and/or MAC operations if needed.

Each operation in a given cipher suite has two elements: a COSE-type defined in Section 2 of that identifies the type of operation, and a specific cryptographic algorithm as defined in the COSE Algorithms registry to be used to perform that operation. A TAM MUST support both of the cipher suites defined above. A TEEP Agent MUST support at least one of the two but can choose which one. For example, a TEEP Agent might choose a given cipher suite if it has hardware support for it. A TAM or TEEP Agent MAY also support any other algorithms in the COSE Algorithms registry in addition to the mandatory ones listed above. It MAY also support use with COSE_Sign or other COSE types in additional cipher suites. Any cipher suites without confidentiality protection can only be added if the associated specification includes a discussion of security considerations and applicability, since manifests may carry sensitive information. For example, Section 6 of permits implementations that terminate transport security inside the TEE and if the transport security provides confidentiality then additional encryption might not be needed in the manifest for some use cases. For most use cases, however, manifest confidentiality will be needed to protect sensitive fields from the TAM as discussed in Section 9.8 of . The cipher suites defined above do not do encryption at the TEEP layer, but permit encryption of the SUIT payload using a mechanism such as . See and for more discussion of specific payloads. For the initial QueryRequest message, unless the TAM has more specific knowledge about the TEEP Agent (e.g., if the QueryRequest is sent in response to some underlying transport message that contains a hint), the message does not use COSE_Sign1 with one of the above cipher suites, but instead uses COSE_Sign with multiple signatures, one for each algorithm used in any of the cipher suites listed in the supported-teep-cipher-suites parameter of the QueryRequest, so that a TEEP Agent supporting any one of them can verify a signature. If the TAM does have specific knowledge about which cipher suite the TEEP Agent supports, it MAY instead use that cipher suite with the QueryRequest. For an Error message with code ERR_UNSUPPORTED_CIPHER_SUITES, the TEEP Agent MUST protect it with any of the cipher suites mandatory for the TAM. For all other TEEP messages between the TAM and TEEP Agent, the selected TEEP cipher suite MUST be used in both directions.

EATs and SUIT Reports TEEP uses COSE for confidentiality of EATs and SUIT Reports sent by a TEEP Agent. The TEEP Agent obtains a signed EAT and then SHOULD encrypt it using the TAM as the recipient. A SUIT Report is created by a SUIT processor, which is part of the TEEP Agent itself. The TEEP Agent is therefore in control of signing the SUIT Report and SHOULD encrypt it. Again, the TAM is the recipient of the encrypted content. For content-key distribution Ephemeral-Static Diffie-Hellman is used in this specification. See Section 8.5.5 and Appendix B of for more details. (If is used, it is also the same as discussed in Section 6.2 of that document.) To perform encryption with ECDH the TEEP Agent needs to be in possession of the public key of the recipient, i.e., the TAM. See Section 5 of for more discussion of TAM keys used by the TEEP Agent. This specification defines cipher suites for confidentiality protection of EATs and SUIT Reports. The TAM MUST support each cipher suite defined below, based on definitions in . A TEEP Agent MUST support at least one of the cipher suites below but can choose which one. For example, a TEEP Agent might choose a given cipher suite if it has hardware support for it. A TAM or TEEP Agent MAY also support other algorithms in the COSE Algorithms registry. It MAY also support use with COSE_Encrypt or other COSE types in additional cipher suites.

Freshness Mechanisms A freshness mechanism determines how a TAM can tell whether an attestation payload provided in a QueryResponse is fresh. There are multiple ways this can be done as discussed in Section 10 of . Each freshness mechanism is identified with an integer value, which corresponds to an IANA registered freshness mechanism (see the IANA Considerations section of ). This document uses the following freshness mechanisms which may be added to in the future by TEEP extensions:

An implementation MUST support the Nonce mechanism and MAY support additional mechanisms. In the Nonce mechanism, the attestation payload MUST include a nonce provided in the QueryRequest challenge if the Background Check model is used, or in the QueryRequest token if the Passport model is used. The timestamp mechanism uses a timestamp determined via mechanisms outside the TEEP protocol, and the challenge is only needed in the QueryRequest message if a challenge is needed in generating the attestation payload for reasons other than freshness. If a TAM supports multiple freshness mechanisms that require different challenge formats, the QueryRequest message can currently only send one such challenge. This situation is expected to be rare, but should it occur, the TAM can choose to prioritize one of them and exclude the other from the supported-freshness-mechanisms in the QueryRequest, and resend the QueryRequest with the other mechanism if an ERR_UNSUPPORTED_FRESHNESS_MECHANISMS Error is received that indicates the TEEP Agent supports the other mechanism.

Security Considerations This section summarizes the security considerations discussed in this specification:

Cryptographic Algorithms: TEEP protocol messages exchanged between the TAM and the TEEP Agent are protected using COSE. This specification relies on the cryptographic algorithms provided by COSE. Public key based authentication is used by the TEEP Agent to authenticate the TAM and vice versa.
Attestation: A TAM relies on signed Attestation Results provided by a Verifier, either obtained directly using a mechanism outside the TEEP protocol (by using some mechanism to pass Evidence obtained in the attestation payload of a QueryResponse, and getting back the Attestation Results), or indirectly via the TEEP Agent forwarding the Attestation Results in the attestation payload of a QueryResponse. See the security considerations of the specific mechanism in use (e.g., EAT) for more discussion. An impersonation attack, where one TEEP Agent attempts to use the attestation payload of another TEEP Agent, can be prevented using a proof-of-possession approach. The "cnf" claim is mandatory in the EAT profile for EAT for this purpose. See Section 6 of and and of this document for more discussion.
Trusted Component Binaries: Each Trusted Component binary is signed by a Trusted Component Signer. It is the responsibility of the TAM to relay only verified Trusted Components from authorized Trusted Component Signers. Delivery of a Trusted Component to the TEEP Agent is then the responsibility of the TAM, using the security mechanisms provided by the TEEP protocol. To protect the Trusted Component binary, the SUIT manifest format is used and it offers a variety of security features, including digital signatures and content encryption, if a SUIT mechanism such as is used.
Personalization Data: A Trusted Component Signer or TAM can supply personalization data along with a Trusted Component. This data is also protected by a SUIT manifest. Personalization data is signed and encrypted by a Trusted Component Signer, if a SUIT mechanism such as is used.
TEEP Broker: As discussed in section 6 of , the TEEP protocol typically relies on a TEEP Broker to relay messages between the TAM and the TEEP Agent. When the TEEP Broker is compromised it can drop messages, delay the delivery of messages, and replay messages but it cannot modify those messages. (A replay would be, however, detected by the TEEP Agent.) A compromised TEEP Broker could reorder messages in an attempt to install an old version of a Trusted Component. Information in the manifest ensures that TEEP Agents are protected against such downgrade attacks based on features offered by the manifest itself.
Replay Protection: The TEEP protocol supports replay protection as follows. The transport protocol under the TEEP protocol might provide replay protection, but may be terminated in the TEEP Broker which is not trusted by the TEEP Agent and so the TEEP protocol does replay protection itself. If attestation of the TAM is used, the attestation freshness mechanism provides replay protection for attested QueryRequest messages. If non-attested QueryRequest messages are replayed, the TEEP Agent will generate QueryResponse or Error messages, but the REE can already conduct Denial of Service attacks against the TEE and/or the TAM even without the TEEP protocol. QueryResponse messages have replay protection via attestation freshness mechanism, or the token field in the message if attestation is not used. Update messages have replay protection via the suit-manifest-sequence-number (see Section 8.4.2 of ). Error and Success messages have replay protection via SUIT Reports and/or the token field in the message, where a TAM can detect which message it is in response to.
Trusted Component Signer Compromise: A TAM is responsible for vetting a Trusted Component and before distributing them to TEEP Agents.
It is RECOMMENDED to provide a way to update the trust anchor store used by the TEE, for example using a firmware update mechanism such as . Thus, if a Trusted Component Signer is later compromised, the TAM can update the trust anchor store used by the TEE, for example using a firmware update mechanism.
CA Compromise: The CA issuing certificates to a TEE or a Trusted Component Signer might get compromised. It is RECOMMENDED to provide a way to update the trust anchor store used by the TEE, for example by using a firmware update mechanism, Concise TA Stores , Trust Anchor Management Protocol (TAMP) or a similar mechanism. If the CA issuing certificates to devices gets compromised then these devices will be rejected by a TAM, if revocation is available to the TAM.
TAM Certificate Expiry: The integrity and the accuracy of the clock within the TEE determines the ability to determine an expired TAM certificate, if certificates are used.
Compromised Time Source: As discussed above, certificate validity checks rely on comparing validity dates to the current time, which relies on having a trusted source of time, such as . A compromised time source could thus be used to subvert such validity checks.

Privacy Considerations Depending on the properties of the attestation mechanism, it is possible to uniquely identify a device based on information in the attestation payload or in the certificate used to sign the attestation payload. This uniqueness may raise privacy concerns. To lower the privacy implications the TEEP Agent MUST present its attestation payload only to an authenticated and authorized TAM and when using an EAT, it SHOULD use encryption as discussed in , since confidentiality is not provided by the TEEP protocol itself and the transport protocol under the TEEP protocol might be implemented outside of any TEE. If any mechanism other than EAT is used, it is up to that mechanism to specify how privacy is provided. Since SUIT Reports can also contain sensitive information, a TEEP Agent SHOULD also encrypt SUIT Reports as discussed in . In addition, in the usage scenario discussed in , a device reveals its IP address to the Trusted Component Binary server. This can reveal to that server at least a clue as to its location, which might be sensitive information in some cases.

CBOR Object Signing and Encryption (COSE): Structures and Process Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) is a data format designed for small code size and small message size. There is a need to be able to define basic security services for this data format. This document defines the CBOR Object Signing and Encryption (COSE) protocol. This specification describes how to create and process signatures, message authentication codes, and encryption using CBOR for serialization. This specification additionally describes how to represent cryptographic keys using CBOR. This document, along with RFC 9053, obsoletes RFC 8152. UTF-8, a transformation format of ISO 10646 ISO/IEC 10646-1 defines a large character set called the Universal Character Set (UCS) which encompasses most of the world's writing systems. The originally proposed encodings of the UCS, however, were not compatible with many current applications and protocols, and this has led to the development of UTF-8, the object of this memo. UTF-8 has the characteristic of preserving the full US-ASCII range, providing compatibility with file systems, parsers and other software that rely on US-ASCII values but are transparent to other values. This memo obsoletes and replaces RFC 2279. Unicode Format for Network Interchange The Internet today is in need of a standardized form for the transmission of internationalized "text" information, paralleling the specifications for the use of ASCII that date from the early days of the ARPANET. This document specifies that format, using UTF-8 with normalization and specific line-ending sequences. [STANDARDS-TRACK] Proof-of-Possession Key Semantics for CBOR Web Tokens (CWTs) This specification describes how to declare in a CBOR Web Token (CWT) (which is defined by RFC 8392) that the presenter of the CWT possesses a particular proof-of-possession key. Being able to prove possession of a key is also sometimes described as being the holder-of-key. This specification provides equivalent functionality to "Proof-of-Possession Key Semantics for JSON Web Tokens (JWTs)" (RFC 7800) but using Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) and CWTs rather than JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) and JSON Web Tokens (JWTs). Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) The Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) is a data format whose design goals include the possibility of extremely small code size, fairly small message size, and extensibility without the need for version negotiation. These design goals make it different from earlier binary serializations such as ASN.1 and MessagePack. This document obsoletes RFC 7049, providing editorial improvements, new details, and errata fixes while keeping full compatibility with the interchange format of RFC 7049. It does not create a new version of the format. COSE Key Thumbprint SECOM CO., LTD. This specification defines a method for computing a hash value over a COSE Key. It defines which fields in a COSE Key structure are used in the hash computation, the method of creating a canonical form of the fields, and how to hash the byte sequence. The resulting hash value can be used for identifying or selecting a key that is the subject of the thumbprint. The Entity Attestation Token (EAT) Security Theory LLC Qualcomm Technologies Inc. Qualcomm Technologies Inc. Red Hound Software, Inc. An Entity Attestation Token (EAT) provides an attested claims set that describes state and characteristics of an entity, a device like a smartphone, IoT device, network equipment or such. This claims set is used by a relying party, server or service to determine how much it wishes to trust the entity. An EAT is either a CBOR Web Token (CWT) or JSON Web Token (JWT) with attestation-oriented claims. A Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR)-based Serialization Format for the Software Updates for Internet of Things (SUIT) Manifest Arm Limited Arm Limited Fraunhofer SIT Inria Nordic Semiconductor 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. Mandatory-to-Implement Algorithms for Authors and Recipients of Software Update for the Internet of Things manifests Arm Limited Nordic Semiconductor ALAXALA Networks Corp. This document specifies algorithm profiles for SUIT manifest parsers and authors to ensure better interoperability. These profiles apply specifically to a constrained node software update use case. SUIT Manifest Extensions for Multiple Trust Domains Arm Limited SECOM CO., LTD. This specification describes extensions to the SUIT Manifest format (as defined in [I-D.ietf-suit-manifest]) for use in deployments with multiple trust domains. A device has more than one trust domain when it enables delegation of different rights to mutually distrusting entities for use for different purposes or Components in the context of firmware or software update. Secure Reporting of Update Status Arm Limited Fraunhofer SIT The Software Update for the Internet of Things (SUIT) manifest provides a way for many different update and boot workflows to be described by a common format. However, this does not provide a feedback mechanism for developers in the event that an update or boot fails. This specification describes a lightweight feedback mechanism that allows a developer in possession of a manifest to reconstruct the decisions made and actions performed by a manifest processor. COSE Algorithms IANA Key words for use in RFCs to Indicate Requirement Levels In many standards track documents several words are used to signify the requirements in the specification. These words are often capitalized. This document defines these words as they should be interpreted in IETF documents. This document specifies an Internet Best Current Practices for the Internet Community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Ambiguity of Uppercase vs Lowercase in RFC 2119 Key Words RFC 2119 specifies common key words that may be used in protocol specifications. This document aims to reduce the ambiguity by clarifying that only UPPERCASE usage of the key words have the defined special meanings. Encrypted Payloads in SUIT Manifests Vigil Security, LLC Arm Limited Linaro SECOM CO., LTD. This document specifies techniques for encrypting software, firmware and personalization data by utilizing the IETF SUIT manifest. Key agreement is provided by ephemeral-static (ES) Diffie-Hellman (DH) and AES Key Wrap (AES-KW). ES-DH uses public key cryptography while AES-KW uses a pre-shared key. Encryption of the plaintext is accomplished with conventional symmetric key cryptography. Attestation Results for Secure Interactions Cisco Systems Fraunhofer SIT MIT Arm Limited Intel This document defines reusable Attestation Result information elements. When these elements are offered to Relying Parties as Evidence, different aspects of Attester trustworthiness can be evaluated. Additionally, where the Relying Party is interfacing with a heterogeneous mix of Attesting Environment and Verifier types, consistent policies can be applied to subsequent information exchange between each Attester and the Relying Party. Reference Interaction Models for Remote Attestation Procedures Fraunhofer SIT Fraunhofer SIT Huawei Technologies Cisco Systems This document describes interaction models for remote attestation procedures (RATS). Three conveying mechanisms -- Challenge/Response, Uni-Directional, and Streaming Remote Attestation -- are illustrated and defined. Analogously, a general overview about the information elements typically used by corresponding conveyance protocols are highlighted. Trusted Execution Environment Provisioning (TEEP) Architecture A Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) is an environment that enforces the following: any code within the environment cannot be tampered with, and any data used by such code cannot be read or tampered with by any code outside the environment. This architecture document discusses the motivation for designing and standardizing a protocol for managing the lifecycle of Trusted Applications running inside such a TEE. EAT Media Types Security Theory LLC Fraunhofer Institute for Secure Information Technology arm Payloads used in Remote Attestation Procedures may require an associated media type for their conveyance, for example when used in RESTful APIs. This memo defines media types to be used for Entity Attestation Tokens (EAT). Concise TA Stores (CoTS) Red Hound Software Vigil Security, LLC arm arm Trust anchor (TA) stores may be used for several purposes in the Remote Attestation Procedures (RATS) architecture including verifying endorsements, reference values, digital letters of approval, attestations, or public key certificates. This document describes a Concise Reference Integrity Manifest (CoRIM) extension that may be used to convey optionally constrained trust anchor stores containing optionally constrained trust anchors in support of these purposes. Concise Data Definition Language (CDDL): A Notational Convention to Express Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) and JSON Data Structures This document proposes a notational convention to express Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) data structures (RFC 7049). Its main goal is to provide an easy and unambiguous way to express structures for protocol messages and data formats that use CBOR or JSON. Network Time Security for the Network Time Protocol This memo specifies Network Time Security (NTS), a mechanism for using Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data (AEAD) to provide cryptographic security for the client-server mode of the Network Time Protocol (NTP). NTS is structured as a suite of two loosely coupled sub-protocols. The first (NTS Key Establishment (NTS-KE)) handles initial authentication and key establishment over TLS. The second (NTS Extension Fields for NTPv4) handles encryption and authentication during NTP time synchronization via extension fields in the NTP packets, and holds all required state only on the client via opaque cookies. Trust Anchor Management Protocol (TAMP) This document describes a transport independent protocol for the management of trust anchors (TAs) and community identifiers stored in a trust anchor store. The protocol makes use of the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS), and a digital signature is used to provide integrity protection and data origin authentication. The protocol can be used to manage trust anchor stores containing trust anchors represented as Certificate, TBSCertificate, or TrustAnchorInfo objects. [STANDARDS-TRACK] Remote ATtestation procedureS (RATS) Architecture In network protocol exchanges, it is often useful for one end of a communication to know whether the other end is in an intended operating state. This document provides an architectural overview of the entities involved that make such tests possible through the process of generating, conveying, and evaluating evidentiary Claims. It provides a model that is neutral toward processor architectures, the content of Claims, and protocols.
