DRIP Entity Tag for Unmanned Aircraft System Remote ID
RFC 9374, “DRIP Entity Tag for Unmanned Aircraft System Remote ID”, is a Proposed Standard document published in March 2023 by R. Moskowitz, S. Card, A. Wiethuechter, A. Gurtov. It updates RFC 7343, RFC 7401. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes the use of Hierarchical Host Identity Tags (HHITs) as self-asserting IPv6 addresses, which makes them trustable identifiers for use in Unmanned Aircraft System Remote Identification (UAS RID) and tracking.
Within the context of RID, HHITs will be called DRIP Entity Tags (DETs). HHITs provide claims to the included explicit hierarchy that provides registry (via, for example, DNS, RDAP) discovery for third-party identifier endorsement.
This document updates RFCs 7401 and 7343.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
