3a RRS platform security classifications
3a.1 Overview
RRS device security is defined by assignment of mandatory security features to the RE and accompanying system in a
series of classes or tiers. To avoid confusion with the term class used in the context of Mobile Device Reconfiguration
Class (MDRC) the security levels are referred to as tiers, i.e. Tier#1, Tier#2, Tier#3. Each security tier has associated
features that are mandatory or optional and are summarized in table 0.
Table 0: Summary of Security features in RRS RE by tier
Tier Signature Signature Trusted Secure Remote Configuration Long term
validation creation timestamp store attestation control management
1 M
2 M M M M Local - M
Remote - O
3 M M M M M Local - M M
Remote - M
The features above require that an RRS device implements a hardware root of trust (see clause 9).
3a.2 Signature validation
Electronic signature validation shall be provided in all RRS platforms for the validation of the source and integrity of
any downloaded Radio Application.
As defined in clause 5.3 the RA shall be signed and the public key certificate of the signing authority, and any other
identifying certificates used in the distribution chain, shall be provided along with the RA. The RE shall be able to
verify the signature and shall only act on the content if the authenticity and integrity of the RAP is verified. If the RAP
cannot be authenticated, or if the integrity validation fails, the RAP shall be discarded.
3a.3 Signature creation
For the purposes of the non-repudiation service defined in clause 5.4 the RE shall be able to generate evidence of
actions related to the use of RAs and sign the evidence (actions may include installation, deletion, operation). For
Tier#2 the RE shall act as Secure Signature Creating Device (SSCD), and for Tier#3 the RE shall act as a Qualified
Signature Creation Device (QSCD) in accordance with the eIDAS directive [9].
NOTE: The eIDAS directive does not require all signatures to be compliant but as one of the purposes of the
non-repudiation service in RRS is to provide proof of an action occurring, that may be tested within a
legal framework such as that used for market control of radio equipment, requiring Tier#3 equipment's
non-repudiation signatures to be created using a QSCD is intended to increase the assurance of the
corresponding RRS equipment across the market control domain.
3a.4 Trusted timestamp
3a.4.1 General requirements
For the purposes of the non-repudiation service defined in clause 5.4 the RE shall be able to generate evidence of the
time any actions related to the use occurred and include the timestamp in the evidence generated.
3a.4.2 PKI based trusted timestamps
For Tier#2 devices a Trusted Timestamp complying to IETF RFC 3161 [20] shall be generated. For Tier#3 devices a
rd
Trusted Timestamp complying to ANSI X9.95 [21] shall be generated that in addition to providing 3 party assurance
of the time of the action also provides for proof of the integrity of the timestamped data.
ETSI
12 ETSI TS 103 436 V1.2.1 (2018-02)
3a.4.3 Blockchain based trusted timestamps
An alternative to PKI based trusted timestamps is to adopt a blockchain based approach such as that defined in [i.7] that
removes the requirement for a centralized Trusted Timestamp Authority (TTA) and replaces it with the distributed trust
model of a blockchain. The current version of the present document only supports PKI based trusted timestamps with a
centralized TTA.
3a.5 Secure storage
In addition to security keys held by the RRS elements to allow for validation of signed content, and for Tier 2 and
Tier 3 systems to generate signed content the following elements shall be maintained in secure storage:
• Evidence generated by the non-repudiation service.
• Proofs of RAP integrity and the binding of a RAP to the RE.
NOTE: Proofs of RAP integrity and the binding to an RE require the use of a Root of Trust for Measurement as
described in clause 9.
The characteristics to be met by the secure storage element are the following:
• Tamper resistant.
• Tamper evident.
• Persistent.
3a.6 Remote attestation
Remote attestation for RRS enables an RE to prove to a remote system the authenticity and integrity of its hardware and
software configuration. Thus for RRS the authorized remote system is able to determine the level of trust in the integrity
of the RE. The remote attestation service extends the non-repudiation service by allowing for online attestation and
delivery of proof (i.e. for non-repudiation the evidence of an action is made available to a trusted third party at the time
of the action, whereas for remote attestation evidence of the integrity of the platform is given on demand).
The scope of remote attestation is limited, as defined in ETSI TR 103 087 [i.1], to the following use cases:
• Verification of compliance to the essential requirements of the RED [i.13] by the market surveillance
authority;
• Verification of RRS platform status for device management purpose by the manufacturer;
• Verification of the active set of Radio Applications by the disturbance control authority; and,
• Verification of specific type and version of a Radio Application for access control by a mobile network
operator.
The detail definition of the remote attestation service is given in clause 10 of the present document.
3a.7 Configuration control
3a.7.1 Local configuration control
The purpose of configuration control is to only allow installation and operation of RAPs that are listed in the RE
Configuration Policy.
The RE Configuration Policy shall be made available to a policy enforcement entity and the following pseudo code
implemented (details are given in clause 11 of the present document):
IF <> EXISTS IN <> THEN PERMIT, ELSE DENY.

ETSI
13 ETSI TS 103 436 V1.2.1 (2018-02)
3a.7.2 Remote configuration control
The remote configuration control service extends the local configuration control service by enabling the authorized
party to be external to the RE (details are given in clause 11.4 of the present document).
3a.7.3 Long term management
The long-term management service extends the local configuration control service by enabling the transfer of
configuration authority over the RRS Platform from one entity to another (details are given in clause 11.5 of the present
document.
4 Review of objectives and high level requirements
The objectives stated in ETSI TR 103 087 [i.1] are copied in table 1 and classified in terms of the form of security
function that is required to meet the objective. In addressing each objective the form of countermeasure required is
discussed in some detail and the overall class or strategy of countermeasure is indicated.
NOTE: It is the nature of an objective to be a signal of intent and thus objectives are phrased using the term
"should". The translation of objectives to mandates is addressed in this clause by the mapping from
objective to each of strategy and countermeasure.
