AERONAUTICAL COMMUNICATIONS PANEL (ACP)


16th MEETING OF WORKING GROUP M (Maintenance)
Paris, France 17-19 May 2010



Agenda Item 3a:

ATN/OSI Document 9880 Update Status – Security Updates



Amendment Proposal

to

Use ATA Spec 42 Profiles for Uncompressed Certificates and CRLs

Prepared by: FAA


Presented by: Vic Patel



SUMMARY

This working paper includes draft updates to ICAO Doc 9880 to use ATA Spec 42 profiles for uncompressed Certificates and CRLs..

ACTION

The working group is invited to review Amendment Proposal and consider approving the change to Doc 9880.



  1. INTRODUCTION

    1. One of recommendations of the Honeywell Validation Report is to follow the Certificate and CRL profiles in ATA Spec 42 and remove the formats specified in Doc 9880.

  2. discussion

    1. This AP proposes using references to Internet RFC 5280 and ATA Spec 42 Certificate and CRL profiles, which is consistent with the wording that is included in ICAO Doc. 9896 (ATN/IPS).

    2. ATA Spec 42 contains Certificate and CRL profiles for Aircraft Entities and Ground Entities which implement ACARS Message Security (AMS). Since AMS was developed based on ICAO Doc 9705 Edition 3, these profiles are closely aligned with the Doc 9880 provisions which are also derived from Doc 9705 Edition 3.

    3. Section 4.3.1 of Doc 9880 specifies the format and allowed content in each field of an ATN Uncompressed Certificate.

    4. Section 4.4 of Doc 9880 specifies the format and allowed content of ATN CRLs.

Problem description:

ATA Spec 42 contains profiles for AMS Certificate and CRLs which are closely aligned with Doc 9880 and therefore the profiles may be removed from Doc 9880 with a reference to Spec 42.

Background:

One of recommendations of the Honeywell Validation Report is to reference Spec 42 for ATN Certificate and CRL profiles.

Backwards compatibility:




Amendment Proposal:

See below.

WG-M Status:

SUBMITTED 5/17/2010


Add section 4.3.1.1.3 with the following:



4.3.1.1.3 Uncompressed ATN Certificates shall use the X.509 certificate profile as specified in RFC 5280.
4.3.1.1.3.1 The Air Transport Association (ATA) Digital Security Working Group (DSWG) has developed a Certificate Policy (ATA Specification 42) for use in the aviation community. ATA

Specification 42 includes certificate profiles that are suitable for aeronautical applications and interoperability with an aerospace industry PKI bridge. These profiles provide greater specificity than, but do not conflict with, RFC 5280.


Remove all of 4.3.1.2 and 4.3.1.3


Replace section 4.3.1.1.2 with the following:


4.4.1.2 ATN CRLs shall use the X.509 certificate profile as specified in RFC 5280.

4.4.1.2.1 The Air Transport Association (ATA) Digital Security Working Group (DSWG) has developed a Certificate Policy (ATA Specification 42) for use in the aviation community. ATA



Specification 42 includes CRL profiles that are suitable for aeronautical applications. These profiles provide greater specificity than, but do not conflict with, RFC 5280.
Remove the remaining sections of 4.4





  1. ACTION BY the meeting

    1. The ACP WG-M is invited to:

  1. Review the revisions to Doc 9880 identified by the AP in this Working Paper and provide comments and feedback regarding the proposed changes as described.

    1. Due to the close alignment of Doc 9880 with ATA Spec 42 profiles for Certificates and CRLs, the FAA recommends acceptance of these changes and requests endorsement by the Working Group to update Doc 9880 as described in the AP.

    2. The FAA recommends a field-by-field review of the latest version of ATA Spec 42 and any recommendations or constraints which cannot be incorporated into Spec 42 be brought back into Doc 9880. This can be accommodated by future Amendment Proposals.
