Enabling secure network enrollment in RPL networks
draft-ietf-roll-enrollment-priority-01
Abstract
[I-D.ietf-6tisch-enrollment-enhanced-beacon] defines a method by
which a potential [I-D.ietf-6tisch-minimal-security] join proxy can
announce itself as a available for new Pledges to Join a network.
The announcement includes a priority for join. This document
provides a mechanism by which a RPL DODAG root can disable join
announcements, or adjust the base priority for join operation.

1. Introduction
[RFC7554] describes the use of the time-slotted channel hopping
(TSCH) mode of [ieee802154]. [I-D.ietf-6tisch-minimal-security] and
[I-D.ietf-6tisch-dtsecurity-secure-join] describe mechanisms by which
a new node (the "pledge)" can use a friendly router as a Join Proxy.
[I-D.ietf-6tisch-enrollment-enhanced-beacon] describes an extension
to the 802.15.4 Enhanced Beacon that is used by a Join Proxy to
announce its existence such that Pledges can find them.
It has become clear that not every routing member of the mesh ought
to announce itself as a Join Proxy. There are a variety of local
reasons by which a 6LR might not want to provide the Join Proxy
function. They include available battery power, already committed
network bandwidth, and also total available memory available for Join
proxy neighbor cache slots.
There are other situations where the operator of the network would
like to selective enable or disable the join process in a particular
DODAG.
As the join process involves permitting unencrypted traffic into the
best effort part of a (TSCH) network, it would be better to have the
join process off when no new nodes are expected.
A network operator might also be able to recognize when certain parts
of the network are overloaded and can not accomodate additional join
traffic, and it would like to adjust the join priority among all
nodes in the subtree of a congested link.

Internet-Draft J-Pref DIO March 2020
This document describes an RPL DIO option that can be used to
announce a minimum join priority. Each potential Join Proxy would
this value as a base on which to add (decreasing likely hood of
attracting traffic) values relating to local conditions.
A network operator can set this value to the maximum value allowed,
effectively disable all new join traffic.
1.1. 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 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.
2. Protocol Definition
The following option is defined to transmission in the DIO issued by
the DODAG root. It may also be added by a router on part of the sub-
tree as a result of some (out of scope for this document) management
function.
6LRs that see this DIO Option SHOULD increment the minimum priority
if they observe congestion on the channel used for join traffic.
(TODO: how much? Do we need to standardize this?)
A 6LR which would otherwise be willing to act as a Join Proxy, will
examine the minimum priority field, and to that number, add any
additional local consideration (such as upstream congestion). The
resulting priority, if less than 0x7f should enable the Join Proxy
function.
0 1 2
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Type = TBD01|Opt Length = 1|R| min. priority |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
min.priority a 7 bit field which provides a base value for the
Enhanced Beacon Join priority. A value of 0x7f (127) disables the
Join Proxy function entirely.
R a reserved bit that SHOULD be set to 0 by senders, and MUST be
ignored by receivers. The reserved bit SHOULD be copied to
options created.

Internet-Draft J-Pref DIO March 2020
3. Security Considerations
As per [RFC7416], RPL control frames either run over a secured layer
2, or use the [RFC6550] Secure DIO methods. This option can be
placed into either a "clear" (layer-2 secured) DIO, or a layer-3
Secure DIO. As such this option will have both integrity and
confidentiality mechanisms applied to it.
A malicious node (that was part of the RPL control plane) could see
these options and could, based upon the observed minimal join
priority signal a confederate that it was a good time to send
malicious join traffic.
A malicious node (that was part of the RPL control plane) could also
send DIOs with a different minimal join priority which would cause
downstream mesh routers to change their Join Proxy behaviour. Lower
minimal priorities would cause downstream nodes to accept more
pledges than the network was expecting, and higher minimal priorities
cause the join process to stall.
The use of layer-2 or layer-3 security for RPL control messages
prevents the above two attacks.
4. Privacy Considerations
There are no new privacy issues caused by this extension.
5. IANA Considerations
Allocate a new number TBD01 from Registry RPL Control Message
Options. This entry should be called Minimum Join Priority.
