Introduction Certain objects in both the FCI and MI interfaces encapsulate sensitive values, such as credentials and access keys, which should not necessarily be accessible to all parties that can view the advertisement and configuration payloads. This document defines two mechanisms to enclose secret values in the context of other FCI and MI objects that may only be viewed by the intended recipients, including embedded secrets encrypted using a certificate supplied by a counterparty and secrets stored in an external service (support defined in this draft is specifically for HashiCorp Vault), which are accessed via a specified path and a key ID. Refer to [HCVAULT] documentation for details. Either side can share secrets, and the functionality is the same for both sides, so the FCI capabilities are wrappers around the MI objects, similar to how FCI footprints (used in [RFC8008]) reutilize the MI.Footprint and registry defined in [RFC8006] Rosenblum Expires 8 January 2025 [Page 2] Internet-Draft CDNI Protected Secrets Metadata July 2024 The public certificate for the downstream content delivery network (dCDN) is shared via FCI.SecretCertificate and the certificate for the upstream content delivery network (uCDN) is shared via MI.SecretCertificate. Overview of the workflow for embedded secrets: * uCDN receives an advertisement with FCI.SecretStore and FCI.SecretCertificate. As the uCDN has not yet provided a certificate, any embedded secret values in the advertisement are omitted; the dCDN is not yet able to encrypt the secrets, so no secrets are present. * uCDN provides configuration including MI.SecretStore and MI.SecretValue with values encrypted using the dCDN certificate. * uCDN receives an updated capabilities advertisement; having provided an MI.SecretCertificate, the advertisement SHOULD now contain populated MI.SecretValue objects if secret values are utilized, encrypted with the provided certificate. ┌────┐ ┌────┐ │uCDN│ │dCDN│ └────┘ └────┘ | Retrieve FCI.SecretStore and FCI.SecretCertificate | |--------------------------------------------------------------->| | | |---- | | | Encrypt secrets using provided FCI.SecretCertificate | |<--- | | | | Provide encrypted secrets via MI.SecretValue | |--------------------------------------------------------------->| | | | Provide MI.SecretStore and MI.SecretCertificate | |--------------------------------------------------------------->| | | | ----| | Encrypt secrets using provided MI.SecretCertificate | | | --->| | | | Retrieve FCI.SecretValue with encrypted secrets | |--------------------------------------------------------------->| | | ┌────┐ ┌────┐ │uCDN│ │dCDN│ └────┘ └────┘ Rosenblum Expires 8 January 2025 [Page 3] Internet-Draft CDNI Protected Secrets Metadata July 2024 Figure 1: Bi-directional Protect Secrets Workflow, Embedded Store Type Detailed workflow examples, including modes that reference external services or contain secret values in plaintext, are available in the Workflow Examples (Section 5) section. The MI.SecretValue objects are utilized in the FCI and MI interfaces, where secrets must be referenced. Certificates can be validated based on signatures in production environments, and self-signed certificates can be accepted in testing/lab environments. With this model, no out-of-band communication is required to share secrets. 2. Requirements The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here. 3. Metadata Objects 3.1. MI.SecretStore MI.SecretStore instructs the counterparty how to dereference the value of any MI.SecretValue objects linked to the store. For embedded stores, MI.SecretStore identifies the certificate used for encrypting the values. For external stores (e.g., HashiCorp Vault), MI.SecretStore specifies the service endpoint that SHOULD be used in conjunction with the MI.SecretValue key path to obtain the secure data. Property: secret-store-id * Description: An identifier for this store configuration that is referenced from linked MI.SecretValue objects. This value MUST be unique within the context of the metadata objects and the FCI advertisement. * Type: String * Mandatory-to-Specify: Yes Property: secret-store-type Rosenblum Expires 8 January 2025 [Page 4] Internet-Draft CDNI Protected Secrets Metadata July 2024 * Description: A type discriminator for the configuration object, this property specifies whether the linked MI.SecretValue objects contain embedded secret objects or reference an external store. * Type: String. Either "MI.SecretStoreTypeEmbedded" or "MI.SecretStoreTypeHashiCorpVault". * Mandatory-to-Specify: Yes Property: secret-store-config * Description: The appropriate configuration object for the specified store type. * Type: Object, with type specified by the secret-store-type property. * Mandatory-to-Specify: Yes 3.2. MI.SecretStoreTypeEmbedded MI.SecretStoreTypeEmbedded contains the configuration necessary to decrypt embedded secrets in MI.SecretValue. The only currently supported encrypted message format is Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) as defined in [RFC5652]. Messages MUST be CMS type "EnvelopedData" and Base64 encoded. A cleartext format is also defined for testing purposes. In this case, the value of an MI.SecretValue object's secret-value property is the cleartext secret. It is NOT RECOMMENDED to use the cleartext format in production environments. Property: format * Description: The format of the embedded encrypted message. * Type: String. Either "cms" or "cleartext". * Mandatory-to-Specify: Yes Property: secret-certificate-id * Description: The ID of the MI.SecretStoreCertificate used to encrypt secret messages linked with this store configuration. * Type: String Rosenblum Expires 8 January 2025 [Page 5] Internet-Draft CDNI Protected Secrets Metadata July 2024 * Mandatory-to-Specify: No The following is an example of MI.SecretStoreTypeEmbedded specifying use of CMS: { "secret-store-id": "store-1", "secret-store-type": "MI.SecretStoreTypeEmbedded", "secret-store-config": { "format": "cms", "secret-certificate-id": "cert-1" } } Figure 2 3.3. MI.SecretStoreTypeHashiCorpVault MI.SecretStoreTypeHashiCorpVault contains the configuration necessary to reference secrets stored in an external instance of a HashiCorp Vault KV store [HCVAULT]. MI.SecretValue objects reference secrets stored in the Vault using the secret-path property to identify the path and property key. See the MI.SecretValue (Section 3.4) section for details. Property: endpoint * Description: The base URL of the Vault instance. * Type: String * Mandatory-to-Specify: Yes Property: namespace * Description: The Vault namespace in which secret lookups should be performed. * Type: String * Mandatory-to-Specify: Yes Property: version * Description: The Vault KV version. * Type: Integer. Valid values: 1 or 2. Rosenblum Expires 8 January 2025 [Page 6] Internet-Draft CDNI Protected Secrets Metadata July 2024 * Mandatory-to-Specify: Yes The following is an example of MI.SecretStoreTypeHashiCorpVault specifying a version KV-V1 Vault: { "secret-store-id": "store-2-vaultv1", "secret-store-type": "MI.SecretStoreTypeHashiCorpVault", "secret-store-config": { "endpoint": "https://vault.example.com/v1/secret", "version": 1, "namespace": "customer-1" } } Figure 3 The following is an example of MI.SecretStoreTypeHashiCorpVault specifying a version KV-V2 Vault: { "secret-store-id": "store-3-vaultv2", "secret-store-type": "MI.SecretStoreTypeHashiCorpVault", "secret-store-config": { "endpoint": "https://vault.example.com/v1/secret", "version": 2, "namespace": "customer-1" } } Figure 4 3.4. MI.SecretValue MI.SecretValue may be used in any FCI or MI object where sensitive data must be transmitted only to intended recipients.

MI.SecretCertificate MI.SecretCertificate is used to share an [X.509] certificate to be utilized for encrypting embedded secret messages. In lab and testing environments, this certificate MAY be self-signed, depending on participant agreement. In production environments, this SHOULD be a certificate signed by an appropriate certificate authority (CA) and validated by the counterparty.

Workflow Examples The facilities in this document can be used for simple and bidirectional exchange of secret values between uCDN and dCDN participants in an Open Caching system. The embedded model provides for a secret exchange without reference to out-of-band services, while the Vault support allows for external reference to secrets stored in a HashiCorp Vault. Participants utilizing a secret distribution method or service not supported here MAY define a Private Feature MI object [SVTA2038] with the necessary configuration for that method or service and then utilize that MI object within MI.SecretStore and FCI.SecretStore Provided below are workflow examples for uCDN -> dCDN and dCDN -> uCDN exchanges of secret values. Rosenblum Expires 8 January 2025 [Page 12] Internet-Draft CDNI Protected Secrets Metadata July 2024 Consideration is needed when addressing key rollover, expiration, and revocation in the embedded model. The RECOMMENDED workflow for key rollover is as follows: * When the recipient of a secret provides an updated configuration that no longer contains an MI.SecretCertificate with an ID referenced in an MI.SecretStore used by MI.SecretValue objects, those MI.SecretValue objects SHOULD be reduced to an object with no contained secret-value property as they would be in the initial state before any certificate had been provided. * If the recipient of a secret then provides a new MI.SecretCertificate object, the sender of the secret SHOULD update its MI.SecretStore to reference the new certificate-id and then update any referencing MI.SecretValue objects to include an updated secret-value property that contains the newly encrypted values. 5.1. Workflow: dCDN -> uCDN Embedded 1. The dCDN advertises FCI.SecretStore with a store-type of MI.SecretStoreTypeEmbedded; other FCI objects may contain MI.SecretValue objects that reference the store-id. MI.SecretValue objects do not presently contain a secret-value property. 2. The uCDN pushes the MI configuration with an MI.SecretCertificate. 3. The dCDN updates the advertised FCI.SecretStore with a certificate-id property that references the dCDN MI.SecretCertificate; any MI.SecretValue objects in other FCI objects now contain a secret-value property with the CMS encrypted secret.
