    <section title=" Introduction">
      <!-- 1, line 116-->

      <t>This document defines two X.509 v3 certificate extensions that
      authorize the transfer of the right-to-use for a set of devices
      identified by 802.1AR IDevID from a production Factory through national
      and regional distributors (VARs) to Plant Owners/Operators. This
      extension binds a list of IDevID identifiers to the subject (private key
      holder) of a certificate. The issuer of the certificate is an entity
      (e.g., a Factory) that has produced the device to to transfer ownership
      set of IDevID to the subject of the certificate. These certificates
      provide a scalable, no-touch means of verifying the ownership of a
      constrainted device. The constrained is initialized with the trusted
      certificate of the Factory at the Factory. This process may be used by
      enrollment protocols such as 1x, PANA, EAP-TLS and RPL to validate that
      the network infrastructure being presented is the legitimate
      infrastructure for the constrainted device.</t>

      <t>Sections 2 specify several rules about the encoding of the extensions
      defined in this specification that MUST be followed. These encoding
      rules serve the following purposes. First, they result in a unique
      encoding of the extension's value; two instances of an extension can be
      compared for equality octet-by-octet. Second, they achieve the minimal
      size encoding of the information. Third, they allow relying parties to
      use one-pass algorithms when performing certification path validation;
      in particular, the relying parties do not need to sort the information,
      or to implement extra code in the subset checking algorithms to handle
      several boundary cases (adjacent, overlapping, or subsumed ranges).</t>

      <section title=" Terminology">
        <!-- 1.1, line 149-->

        <t>It is assumed that the reader is familiar with the terms and
        concepts described in "Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure
        Certificate and Certificate Revocation List (CRL) Profile" [RFC3280],
        "INTERNET PROTOCOL" [RFC791], "Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6)
        Addressing Architecture" [RFC3513], "INTERNET REGISTRY IP ALLOCATION
        GUIDELINES" [RFC2050], and related regional Internet registry address
        management policy documents. Some relevant terms include:</t>

        <t>allocate - the transfer of custodianship of a resource to an
        intermediate organization (see [RFC2050]).</t>

        <t>assign - the transfer of custodianship of a resource to an end
        organization (see [RFC2050]).</t>

        <t>Autonomous System (AS) - a set of routers under a single technical
        administration with a uniform policy, using one or more interior
        gateway protocols and metrics to determine how to route packets within
        the autonomous system, and using an exterior gateway protocol to
        determine how to route packets to other autonomous systems.</t>

        <t>Autonomous System number - a 32-bit number that identifies an
        autonomous system.</t>

        <t>delegate - transfer of custodianship (that is, the right-to-use) of
        an IP address block or AS identifier through issuance of a certificate
        to an entity.</t>

        <t>initial octet - the first octet in the value of a DER encoded BIT
        STRING [X.690].</t>

        <t>IDevID - a variable octet identifier written as in hexadecimal.
        While there is no length limit to the IDevID, a Factory is expected to
        pick a particularly length and stick to that length so that the IDevID
        can be aggregated by simple integer enumeration.</t>

        <t>subsequent octets - the second through last octets in the value of
        a DER encoded BIT STRING [X.690].</t>

        <t>trust anchor - a certificate that is to be trusted when performing
        certification path validation (see [RFC3280]).</t>

        <t>The keywords MUST, MUST NOT, REQUIRED, SHALL, SHALL NOT, SHOULD,
        SHOULD NOT, RECOMMENDED, and MAY, and OPTIONAL, when they appear in
        this document, are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].</t>

    <section title=" Autonomous System Identifier Delegation Extension">
      <!-- 3, line 683-->

      <t>This extension conveys the delegation of ownership of a device
      identified by an 802.1AR Device ID to an entity by binding those IDevID
      to a public key belonging to the entity.</t>

      <section title=" Context">
        <!-- 3.1, line 690-->

        <t>802.1AR defines a mechanism by which a manufacturer may place a
        certificate that attests to the a device's identity into the device at
        manufacturer time. This mechanism permits a device to
        cryptographically identify itself to a network. The device, however is
        unable to know to which network it belongs. This extension permits the
        manufacturer, using the same trusted anchor to delegate ownership of
        the device to the end user (possibly via a series of intermediaries,
        such as a supplier chain). The use of such a certificate chain can be
        easily verified by the device, and therefore, combined with 802.1AR,
        permits mutual authentication of devices and network entities.</t>

        <section title=" Criticality">
          <!-- 3.2.2, line 731-->

          <t>This extension SHOULD be CRITICAL. The intended use of this
          extension is to connote an ownership of the device specified in the
          extension.  A CA marks the extension as CRITICAL to convey the notion
          that a relying party must understand the semantics of the extension
          to make use of the certificate for the purpose it was issued. Newly
          created applications that use certificates containing this extension
          are expected to recognize the extension.</t>

        <t>Path Validation</t>

        <t>Certification path validation of a certificate containing the
        autonomous system identifier delegation extension requires additional
        processing. As each certificate in a path is validated, the AS
        identifiers in the autonomous system identifier delegation extension
        of that certificate MUST be subsumed by the AS identifiers in the
        autonomous system identifier delegation extension in the issuer's
        certificate. Validation MUST fail when this is not the case. A
        certificate that is a trust anchor for certification path validation
        of certificates containing the autonomous system identifier delegation
        extension, as well as all certificates along the path, MUST each
        contain the autonomous system identifier delegation extension. The
        initial set of allowed AS identifiers is taken from the trust anchor
        certificate.</t>

    <section title=" Security Considerations">
      <!-- 4, line 858-->

      <t>This specification describes an X.509 extension. Since X.509
      certificates are digitally signed, no additional integrity service is
      necessary. Certificates with these extensions need not be kept secret,
      and unrestricted and anonymous access to these certificates has no
      security implications.</t>

      <t>However, security factors outside the scope of this specification
      will affect the assurance provided to certificate users. This section
      highlights critical issues that should be considered by implementors,
      administrators, and users.</t>

      <t>This extensions represent authorization information, i.e., a
      right-to-use/ownership statement for a device.
      They were developed to support zero-touch autonomic configuration
      of constrained devices in a sensor network.
      As a result
      of this capability model, the Subject field is largely irrelevant for
      security purposes, contrary to common PKI conventions.</t>
