4 Services description: use cases and requirements
4.1 Certificate provisionning service
4.1.1 Service description
4.1.1.1 Overview
The certificates reloading service consists for an ITS-S to request EC/AT to the PKI in an online and automatic manner.
EC requests are not frequent as an ITS-S usually requests one EC at the beginning of its lifecycle and then renews its EC
in advance before the end of its key validity period [2]. However, AT are requested much more often. Indeed when an
ITS-S has only a few remaining Ats it requests new ones to the PKI.
Figure 1 depicts the service from a V-ITS-S and a R-ITS-S point of view:
1) (Green arrow) - A V-ITS-S is within the radio coverage of a RAN access point that provides Internet
connectivity (e.g. cellular base station, Wi-Fi hotspot, R-ITS-S, etc.). The V-ITS-S thus sends its EC/AT
request to the PKI via the RAN access point and the Gateway. The PKI processes the request and sends back
immediately its response to the V-ITS-S.
2) (Orange arrows) - A R-ITS-S is connected to the Internet either wired (e.g. optical fiber, Ethernet, etc.) or
wirelessly via a RAN access point (e.g. cellular base station, Wi-Fi hotspot, etc.). The R-ITS-S thus sends its
EC/AT request to the PKI directly (wire) or via the RAN access point and the Gateway. The PKI processes the
request and sends back immediately its response to the R-ITS-S.
NOTE: In the present document, the RAN Access Point and the Gateway are differentiated. The RAN Access
Point is hardware that provides radio access and the Gateway is the relaying software that links the local
network with the Internet. However the Gateway may be integrated in the RAN Access Point.

4.1.1.2 UC-SEC-01: EC initial request or re-keying
Use Case ID: UC-SEC-01
Use Case Name: Enrolment credential initial request or re-keying.
Priority: Mandatory.
Related
ITS-S is registered in the PKI.
Requirement: ITS-S has Ipv6 connectivity.

Primary Actor ITS-S.
Description ITS-S requests an EC to the EA. After verification, the EA replies positively by
sending back the requested EC to the ITS-S.
Preconditions ITS-S has its canonical key pair, a canonical identifier, the URL of the EA and the EA
certificate.
ITS-S is already registered in EA database.
ITS-S has Ipv6 connectivity.
If using wireless connectivity, the ITS-S shall be under the radio coverage of an
access point that provides Ipv6 connectivity.
Success End Condition ITS-S receives its EC from the EA.
Failed End Condition ITS-S does not receive its EC.
Involved components Security layer.
Main Success Scenario 1) ITS-S creates the EC request and sends it to the EA.
2) The EA verifies the EC request (as specified in ETSI TS 102 941 [2]) and sends
the EC response to the ITS-S.
3) ITS-S receives its EC delivered by the EA.
Extensions
None.
Variations (Alternatives) If the ITS-S does not receive a response from the EA, it
