.. ============
This module implements the
:ref:`evse_security interface <everest_interfaces_evse_security>`.
It wraps the functionality of the
`libevse-security <https://github.com/EVerest/libevse-security>`_
to provide access to security-related operations to other Everest modules such
as OCPP and ISO15118. These modules require similar security-related
operations and shared access to certificates and keys, which this module
facilitates.
For detailed information about the provided functionality, please refer to the
README within the
`libevse-security <https://github.com/EVerest/libevse-security>`_.
CA Certificate Domains
======================
The combination of ISO 15118 and OCPP defines several CA certificate domains
for charging stations, addressed and covered by this module:
* V2G root: Trust anchor for ISO 15118 TLS communication between the charging
station and the electric vehicle.
* CSMS root: Trust anchor for TLS communication between the charging station
and OCPP CSMS.
* MF root: Trust anchor of the manufacturer to verify firmware updates.
* MO root: Trust anchor of the Mobility Operator domain to verify contract
certificates.
Module Configuration
====================
The following instructions describe how to configure the module parameters
mainly for two domains: OCPP communication and ISO 15118 communication.
A lot of configuration parameters specify directory or file paths from which
certificates and private keys are loaded or new certificates and keys are
written to. Please make sure that these paths are writeable for EVerest.
Configuration for OCPP
----------------------
In OCPP and OCPP security profiles, the security level of the connection is
specified as follows:
* SecurityProfile 0: Unsecured transport without basic authentication
* SecurityProfile 1: Unsecured transport with basic authentication
* SecurityProfile 2: TLS with basic authentication
* SecurityProfile 3: TLS with client-side certificates
Only when security profiles 2 or 3 are used, the configuration of this module
is relevant for the OCPP communication. In this case, the charging station
acts as a TLS client.
The ``csms_ca_bundle`` config parameter specifies a path to a file containing
trusted CSMS root certificates. The server certificate presented by the CSMS
server during the TLS handshake must be signed by one of the trusted root
certificates specified in this file.
If new root certificates are installed using the ``install_ca_certificate``
command with the CSMS domain specified, the new CA certificate is installed
into the specified bundle and used for further validations.
Note: The OCPP modules in EVerest can be configured to also trust the
operating system's default verify paths. The parameter controlling this
behavior is ``UseSslDefaultVerifyPaths``. If configured to ``true``, the
``csms_ca_bundle`` need not necessarily be configured.
If security profile 3 is used, a mutual TLS (mTLS) connection shall be
established, so the CSMS server also verifies the client certificate. The
``csms_leaf_cert_directory`` and ``csms_leaf_key_directory`` need to be
configured for this. These parameters specify the directory of the client
certificate and key for the mTLS connection.
New CSMS client certificates can be installed using the
``update_leaf_certificate`` command with the CSMS domain specified. In OCPP,
new client certificates are installed by using the ``CertificateSigned.req``
message.
Configuration for ISO 15118
---------------------------
For ISO 15118 communication, the charging station provides a server endpoint
to which the electric vehicle connects. The communication may be secured using
TLS. TLS is mandatory for Plug&Charge. If TLS is used, the correct
configuration of the ``secc_leaf_cert_directory`` and
``secc_leaf_key_directory`` is required. These directories are used to locate
the server certificate and key for the ISO 15118 TLS server provided by the
charging station.
New V2G client certificates can be installed using the
``update_leaf_certificate`` command with the V2G domain specified. In OCPP,
new client certificates are installed by using the ``CertificateSigned.req``
message.
Private Key Password
--------------------
If private keys are generated in the process of generating a certificate
signing request (CSR), the private keys are not encrypted with a password.
Therefore, no password needs to be configured if all certificates are
installed using the ``generate_certificate_signing_request`` and
``update_leaf_certificate`` commands.
If existing certificates and private keys are to be installed, the
``private_key_password`` parameter specifies the password for encrypted
private keys. Please note that only one value can be configured for possibly
multiple encrypted private keys.
More about CSMS, V2G, MO and MF Bundles
---------------------------------------
* The ``v2g_ca_bundle`` is used to verify the installation of SECC leaf
certificates using the ``update_leaf_certificate`` command.
* The ``csms_ca_bundle`` is used to verify the installation of CSMS leaf
certificates using the ``update_leaf_certificate`` command.
* The ``mo_ca_bundle`` is used to verify contract certificates provided by the
electric vehicle as part of the ISO 15118 Plug & Charge process.
* The ``mf_ca_bundle`` is used to verify firmware update files.
New root certificates can be installed in the specified domain using the
``install_ca_certificate`` command.
