Ashin Walpola 0e9525162d Keep the colleague's microbu-esp32c5 tree in this repository
obu-firmware builds against vanetza-idf from microbu-esp32c5/external, but
that tree was gitignored, so a clone of this repository could not build the
firmware it ships. It is now committed here as ordinary files in its own
folder, microbu-esp32c5/: the colleague's commit cf4b99f plus the V2X2MAP
bridge's signature verification (--trust) used on the bench. Nothing is
fetched from or pushed to the colleague's repository; this repository and
its remotes carry everything. The folder's own .gitignore keeps build output,
downloaded components and private key material out, as it did there; the
committed file set is identical to that repository's tracked files.

The ESP32-C5 is still flashed from obu-firmware/, which only takes
vanetza-idf from microbu-esp32c5/, so the two stay separate folders.
FLASHING.md says how to take a newer version of the colleague's tree (copy
it over the folder, rebuild, test, commit).

security-host-03: AtsSecurity, GN-MGMT profile (sending side)

Campaign (re-run of security-host-01 with the 2026-09-14 sources: p2pcd accessor patch, ITS time helper in the adapter and pool tool): ports/esp_idf/tests/etsi_security_gn.cfg (8 cases), host SUT vidf_sut --security-pool ./certificates (native Linux build, VIDF_SECURITY=ON), pool generated by vidf_test_pool (hashes in result.json, pool_sha256). The adapter enforces the framework's own verification of every IUT transmission (enable_security_checks=1, see test.cfg); a PASS therefore covers a signature the framework verified against CERT_IUT_A_AT from the pool, not only the message structure.

Case Verdict Cause
TC_SEC_ITSS_SND_GENMSG_01..04, 06..08 pass secured beacons (psid 141), TS 103 097 clause 7.1.3 profile
TC_SEC_ITSS_SND_GENMSG_05_BV fail ATS implementation defect, IUT-independent (below)

TC_SEC_ITSS_SND_GENMSG_05_BV

The testcase (pinned ItsSecurity_TestCases.ttcn line 7313) compares the signer certificate's validityPeriod.start (a Time32, seconds since 2004-01-01) against a range built from v_curTime in microseconds:

match(v_signerIdentifier.certificate[0].toBeSigned.validityPeriod.start_,
      Time32:(v_curTime - c_timeLimit / 1000000 .. v_curTime + c_timeLimit / 1000000))

Only c_timeLimit is scaled to seconds; v_curTime (f_getCurrentTime() * 1000) is not. Values from the MTC log of this run:

Quantity Value Unit
v_curTime 716425780437000 µs
range checked 716425780436700 .. 716425780437300 (µs magnitude)
validityPeriod.start_ 716425702 s
generationTime 716425785435539 µs (= 716425785 s)
duration 24 hours

No Time32 can fall into a range of that magnitude, so the branch fails for every IUT. The test purpose quoted in the testcase header (TS 103 096-2: X_START_VALIDITY <= GEN_TIME and duration > GEN_TIME - X_START_VALIDITY) holds for the observed values: 716425702 s <= 716425785 s and the difference (83 s) is below 24 h. The current upstream head of the Security ATS (forge.etsi.org/rep/ITS/ttcn/ats_sec_ts103096-3, branch master, line 6672) carries the same expression. The verdict is retained as recorded; the testcase was not modified.

Time base note

The framework's base_time derives ITS time from UTC without the five leap seconds inserted since 2004; the SUT clock driven by the adapter is TAI-based (IEEE 1609.2 Time64), hence the constant 5 s offset visible in the generation time check lines of console.txt (well inside the 30 s window the framework applies and the 5 min window of the testcases).
