Trust Verification

The Trust Verification Service (TVS) allows phones to query the validity of a certificate that is not included in ITLFile.tlv on demand. Certificates used for CCM, TFTP, CAPF and APP-SERVER roles can be dynamically provisioned without the phone having to re-download ITLFile.tlv.

To enable use of TVS set <address> and <port> in SEPMAC.cnf.xml and include a certificate with the TVS role in ITLFile.tlv. An archive containing the server and client utilities can be downloaded from the URL below.

tvsctl link

The tvsctl utility is used to manage the database file used by tvsd. The following adds certificates used for CCM and APP-SERVER roles to a database file in /var/lib/tvs.

~/daemons-X.X$ sudo --user tvs ./tvsctl /var/lib/tvs/tvs.sqlite3 --add /etc/asterisk/keys/asterisk.pem \ --ccm ~/daemons-X.X$ sudo --user tvs ./tvsctl /var/lib/tvs/tvs.sqlite3 --add /etc/apache2/ssl-certs/apache.pem \ --app-server
Multiple roles can be assigned to a certificate and a optional TTL (time to live). If the certificate already exists in the database file the settings will be overwritten.

~/daemons-X.X$ sudo --user tvs ./tvsctl /var/lib/tvs/tvs.sqlite3 --add /etc/asterisk/keys/asterisk.pem \ --ccm --app-server --ttl 3600
Certificates can be removed from the database when no longer required. The certificate hash can be specified as prefix to match.

~/daemons-X.X$ sudo --user tvs ./tvsctl /var/lib/tvs/tvs.sqlite3 --remove 5dc2c141
A list of certificates and roles in the database file can be shown.

~/daemons-X.X$ ./tvsctl /var/lib/tvs/tvs.sqlite3 --list

tvsd link

The Trust Verification Service requires an RSA key and X509 certificate, if you already have a certificate that can be used instead. Otherwise a new certificate can be generated using mkcert. See Device Security for more information.

~/certutils-X.X$ sudo ./mkcert --common "TVS" --organization "TVS" --unit "TVS" \ /var/lib/tvs/tvs.pem
Add the TVS certificate to ITLFile.tlv using tlvfile and restart phones to have them download the new version.

~/certutils-X.X$ sudo ./tlvfile --build /var/lib/tftpboot/ITLFile.tlv --sast /etc/ssl/private/sast.pem \ --tvs /var/lib/tvs/tvs.pem ...
Run the daemon by specifying the path to the database file and the certificate that has the TVS role. INSTALL.md has example instructions to run the daemon as a service.

~/daemons-X.X$ ./tvsd /var/lib/tvs/tvs.sqlite3 --tvs /var/lib/tvs/tvs.pem

tvsc link

tvsc is a command line client that connects to tvsd to query the validity of a certificate. This can be used to debug certificate verification failures.
