RFC 4210                          CMP                     September 20051.  Introduction   This document describes the Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure   (PKI) Certificate Management Protocol (CMP).  Protocol messages are   defined for certificate creation and management.  The term   "certificate" in this document refers to an X.509v3 Certificate as   defined in [X509].   This specification obsoletesRFC 2510.  This specification differs   fromRFC 2510 in the following areas:      The PKI management message profile section is split to two      appendices: the required profile and the optional profile.  Some      of the formerly mandatory functionality is moved to the optional      profile.      The message confirmation mechanism has changed substantially.      A new polling mechanism is introduced, deprecating the old polling      method at the CMP transport level.      The CMP transport protocol issues are handled in a separate      document [CMPtrans], thus the Transports section is removed.      A new implicit confirmation method is introduced to reduce the      number of protocol messages exchanged in a transaction.      The new specification contains some less prominent protocol      enhancements and improved explanatory text on several issues.2.  Requirements   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT",   "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document (in uppercase,   as shown) are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].3.  PKI Management Overview   The PKI must be structured to be consistent with the types of   individuals who must administer it.  Providing such administrators   with unbounded choices not only complicates the software required,   but also increases the chances that a subtle mistake by an   administrator or software developer will result in broader   compromise.  Similarly, restricting administrators with cumbersome   mechanisms will cause them not to use the PKI.Adams, et al.               Standards Track                     [Page 5]

RFC 4210                          CMP                     September 2005   Management protocols are REQUIRED to support on-line interactions   between Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) components.  For example, a   management protocol might be used between a Certification Authority   (CA) and a client system with which a key pair is associated, or   between two CAs that issue cross-certificates for each other.3.1.  PKI Management Model   Before specifying particular message formats and procedures, we first   define the entities involved in PKI management and their interactions   (in terms of the PKI management functions required).  We then group   these functions in order to accommodate different identifiable types   of end entities.3.1.1.  Definitions of PKI Entities   The entities involved in PKI management include the end entity (i.e.,   the entity to whom the certificate is issued) and the certification   authority (i.e., the entity that issues the certificate).  A   registration authority MAY also be involved in PKI management.3.1.1.1.  Subjects and End Entities   The term "subject" is used here to refer to the entity to whom the   certificate is issued, typically named in the subject or   subjectAltName field of a certificate.  When we wish to distinguish   the tools and/or software used by the subject (e.g., a local   certificate management module), we will use the term "subject   equipment".  In general, the term "end entity" (EE), rather than   "subject", is preferred in order to avoid confusion with the field   name.  It is important to note that the end entities here will   include not only human users of applications, but also applications   themselves (e.g., for IP security).  This factor influences the   protocols that the PKI management operations use; for example,   application software is far more likely to know exactly which   certificate extensions are required than are human users.  PKI   management entities are also end entities in the sense that they are   sometimes named in the subject or subjectAltName field of a   certificate or cross-certificate.  Where appropriate, the term "end-   entity" will be used to refer to end entities who are not PKI   management entities.   All end entities require secure local access to some information --   at a minimum, their own name and private key, the name of a CA that   is directly trusted by this entity, and that CA's public key (or a   fingerprint of the public key where a self-certified version is   available elsewhere).  Implementations MAY use secure local storage   for more than this minimum (e.g., the end entity's own certificate orAdams, et al.               Standards Track                     [Page 6]

RFC 4210                          CMP                     September 2005   application-specific information).  The form of storage will also   vary -- from files to tamper-resistant cryptographic tokens.  The   information stored in such local, trusted storage is referred to here   as the end entity's Personal Security Environment (PSE).   Though PSE formats are beyond the scope of this document (they are   very dependent on equipment, et cetera), a generic interchange format   for PSEs is defined here: a certification response message MAY be   used.3.1.1.2.  Certification Authority   The certification authority (CA) may or may not actually be a real   "third party" from the end entity's point of view.  Quite often, the   CA will actually belong to the same organization as the end entities   it supports.   Again, we use the term "CA" to refer to the entity named in the   issuer field of a certificate.  When it is necessary to distinguish   the software or hardware tools used by the CA, we use the term "CA   equipment".   The CA equipment will often include both an "off-line" component and   an "on-line" component, with the CA private key only available to the   "off-line" component.  This is, however, a matter for implementers   (though it is also relevant as a policy issue).   We use the term "root CA" to indicate a CA that is directly trusted   by an end entity; that is, securely acquiring the value of a root CA   public key requires some out-of-band step(s).  This term is not meant   to imply that a root CA is necessarily at the top of any hierarchy,   simply that the CA in question is trusted directly.   A "subordinate CA" is one that is not a root CA for the end entity in   question.  Often, a subordinate CA will not be a root CA for any   entity, but this is not mandatory.3.1.1.3.  Registration Authority   In addition to end-entities and CAs, many environments call for the   existence of a Registration Authority (RA) separate from the   Certification Authority.  The functions that the registration   authority may carry out will vary from case to case but MAY include   personal authentication, token distribution, revocation reporting,   name assignment, key generation, archival of key pairs, et cetera.Adams, et al.               Standards Track                     [Page 7]

RFC 4210                          CMP                     September 2005   This document views the RA as an OPTIONAL component: when it is not   present, the CA is assumed to be able to carry out the RA's functions   so that the PKI management protocols are the same from the end-   entity's point of view.   Again, we distinguish, where necessary, between the RA and the tools   used (the "RA equipment").   Note that an RA is itself an end entity.  We further assume that all   RAs are in fact certified end entities and that RAs have private keys   that are usable for signing.  How a particular CA equipment   identifies some end entities as RAs is an implementation issue (i.e.,   this document specifies no special RA certification operation).  We   do not mandate that the RA is certified by the CA with which it is   interacting at the moment (so one RA may work with more than one CA   whilst only being certified once).   In some circumstances, end entities will communicate directly with a   CA even where an RA is present.  For example, for initial   registration and/or certification, the subject may use its RA, but   communicate directly with the CA in order to refresh its certificate.3.1.2.  PKI Management Requirements   The protocols given here meet the following requirements on PKI   management   1.   PKI management must conform to the ISO/IEC 9594-8/ITU-T X.509        standards.   2.   It must be possible to regularly update any key pair without        affecting any other key pair.   3.   The use of confidentiality in PKI management protocols must be        kept to a minimum in order to ease acceptance in environments        where strong confidentiality might cause regulatory problems.   4.   PKI management protocols must allow the use of different        industry-standard cryptographic algorithms (specifically        including RSA, DSA, MD5, and SHA-1).  This means that any given        CA, RA, or end entity may, in principle, use whichever        algorithms suit it for its own key pair(s).   5.   PKI management protocols must not preclude the generation of key        pairs by the end-entity concerned, by an RA, or by a CA.  Key        generation may also occur elsewhere, but for the purposes of PKI        management we can regard key generation as occurring wherever        the key is first present at an end entity, RA, or CA.Adams, et al.               Standards Track                     [Page 8]

RFC 4210                          CMP                     September 2005   6.   PKI management protocols must support the publication of        certificates by the end-entity concerned, by an RA, or by a CA.        Different implementations and different environments may choose        any of the above approaches.   7.   PKI management protocols must support the production of        Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) by allowing certified end        entities to make requests for the revocation of certificates.        This must be done in such a way that the denial-of-service        attacks, which are possible, are not made simpler.   8.   PKI management protocols must be usable over a variety of        "transport" mechanisms, specifically including mail, http,        TCP/IP and ftp.   9.   Final authority for certification creation rests with the CA.        No RA or end-entity equipment can assume that any certificate        issued by a CA will contain what was requested; a CA may alter        certificate field values or may add, delete, or alter extensions        according to its operating policy.  In other words, all PKI        entities (end-entities, RAs, and CAs) must be capable of        handling responses to requests for certificates in which the        actual certificate issued is different from that requested (for        example, a CA may shorten the validity period requested).  Note        that policy may dictate that the CA must not publish or        otherwise distribute the certificate until the requesting entity        has reviewed and accepted the newly-created certificate        (typically through use of the certConf message).   10.  A graceful, scheduled change-over from one non-compromised CA        key pair to the next (CA key update) must be supported (note        that if the CA key is compromised, re-initialization must be        performed for all entities in the domain of that CA).  An end        entity whose PSE contains the new CA public key (following a CA        key update) must also be able to verify certificates verifiable        using the old public key.  End entities who directly trust the        old CA key pair must also be able to verify certificates signed        using the new CA private key (required for situations where the        old CA public key is "hardwired" into the end entity's        cryptographic equipment).   11.  The functions of an RA may, in some implementations or        environments, be carried out by the CA itself.  The protocols        must be designed so that end entities will use the same protocol        regardless of whether the communication is with an RA or CA.        Naturally, the end entity must use the correct RA of CA public        key to protect the communication.Adams, et al.               Standards Track                     [Page 9]

RFC 4210                          CMP                     September 2005   12.  Where an end entity requests a certificate containing a given        public key value, the end entity must be ready to demonstrate        possession of the corresponding private key value.  This may be        accomplished in various ways, depending on the type of        certification request.  SeeSection 4.3 for details of the in-        band methods defined for the PKIX-CMP (i.e., Certificate        Management Protocol) messages.3.1.3.  PKI Management Operations   The following diagram shows the relationship between the entities   defined above in terms of the PKI management operations.

CA establishment: When establishing a new CA, certain steps are       required (e.g., production of initial CRLs, export of CA public       key).   2.  End entity initialization: this includes importing a root CA       public key and requesting information about the options supported       by a PKI management entity.Adams, et al.               Standards Track                    [Page 11]

RFC 4210                          CMP                     September 2005   3.  Certification: various operations result in the creation of new       certificates:       1.  initial registration/certification: This is the process           whereby an end entity first makes itself known to a CA or RA,           prior to the CA issuing a certificate or certificates for           that end entity.  The end result of this process (when it is           successful) is that a CA issues a certificate for an end           entity's public key, and returns that certificate to the end           entity and/or posts that certificate in a public repository.           This process may, and typically will, involve multiple           "steps", possibly including an initialization of the end           entity's equipment.  For example, the end entity's equipment           must be securely initialized with the public key of a CA, to           be used in validating certificate paths.  Furthermore, an end           entity typically needs to be initialized with its own key           pair(s).       2.  key pair update: Every key pair needs to be updated regularly           (i.e., replaced with a new key pair), and a new certificate           needs to be issued.       3.  certificate update: As certificates expire, they may be           "refreshed" if nothing relevant in the environment has           changed.       4.  CA key pair update: As with end entities, CA key pairs need           to be updated regularly; however, different mechanisms are           required.       5.  cross-certification request: One CA requests issuance of a           cross-certificate from another CA.  For the purposes of this           standard, the following terms are defined.  A "cross-           certificate" is a certificate in which the subject CA and the           issuer CA are distinct and SubjectPublicKeyInfo contains a           verification key (i.e., the certificate has been issued for           the subject CA's signing key pair).  When it is necessary to           distinguish more finely, the following terms may be used: a           cross-certificate is called an "inter-domain cross-           certificate" if the subject and issuer CAs belong to           different administrative domains; it is called an "intra-           domain cross-certificate" otherwise.           1.  Note 1.  The above definition of "cross-certificate"               aligns with the defined term "CA-certificate" in X.509.               Note that this term is not to be confused with the X.500               "cACertificate" attribute type, which is unrelated.Adams, et al.               Standards Track                    [Page 12]

RFC 4210                          CMP                     September 2005           2.  Note 2.  In many environments, the term "cross-               certificate", unless further qualified, will be               understood to be synonymous with "inter-domain cross-               certificate" as defined above.           3.  Note 3.  Issuance of cross-certificates may be, but is               not necessarily, mutual; that is, two CAs may issue               cross-certificates for each other.       6.  cross-certificate update: Similar to a normal certificate           update, but involving a cross-certificate.   4.  Certificate/CRL discovery operations: some PKI management       operations result in the publication of certificates or CRLs:       1.  certificate publication: Having gone to the trouble of           producing a certificate, some means for publishing it is           needed.  The "means" defined in PKIX MAY involve the messages           specified in Sections5.3.13 to5.3.16, or MAY involve other           methods (LDAP, for example) as described in [RFC2559],           [RFC2585] (the "Operational Protocols" documents of the PKIX           series of specifications).       2.  CRL publication: As for certificate publication.   5.  Recovery operations: some PKI management operations are used when       an end entity has "lost" its PSE:       1.  key pair recovery: As an option, user client key materials           (e.g., a user's private key used for decryption purposes) MAY           be backed up by a CA, an RA, or a key backup system           associated with a CA or RA.  If an entity needs to recover           these backed up key materials (e.g., as a result of a           forgotten password or a lost key chain file), a protocol           exchange may be needed to support such recovery.   6.  Revocation operations: some PKI operations result in the creation       of new CRL entries and/or new CRLs:       1.  revocation request: An authorized person advises a CA of an           abnormal situation requiring certificate revocation.   7.  PSE operations: whilst the definition of PSE operations (e.g.,       moving a PSE, changing a PIN, etc.) are beyond the scope of this       specification, we do define a PKIMessage (CertRepMessage) that       can form the basis of such operations.Adams, et al.               Standards Track                    [Page 13]

RFC 4210                          CMP                     September 2005   Note that on-line protocols are not the only way of implementing the   above operations.  For all operations, there are off-line methods of   achieving the same result, and this specification does not mandate   use of on-line protocols.  For example, when hardware tokens are   used, many of the operations MAY be achieved as part of the physical   token delivery.   Later sections define a set of standard messages supporting the above   operations.  Transport protocols for conveying these exchanges in   different environments (file-based, on-line, E-mail, and WWW) are   beyond the scope of this document and are specified separately.4.  Assumptions and Restrictions4.1.  End Entity Initialization   The first step for an end entity in dealing with PKI management   entities is to request information about the PKI functions supported   and to securely acquire a copy of the relevant root CA public key(s).4.2.  Initial Registration/Certification   There are many schemes that can be used to achieve initial   registration and certification of end entities.  No one method is   suitable for all situations due to the range of policies that a CA   may implement and the variation in the types of end entity which can   occur.   However, we can classify the initial registration/certification   schemes that are supported by this specification.  Note that the word   "initial", above, is crucial: we are dealing with the situation where   the end entity in question has had no previous contact with the PKI.   Where the end entity already possesses certified keys, then some   simplifications/alternatives are possible.   Having classified the schemes that are supported by this   specification we can then specify some as mandatory and some as   optional.  The goal is that the mandatory schemes cover a sufficient   number of the cases that will arise in real use, whilst the optional   schemes are available for special cases that arise less frequently.   In this way, we achieve a balance between flexibility and ease of   implementation.   We will now describe the classification of initial   registration/certification schemes.Adams, et al.               Standards Track                    [Page 14]

RFC 4210                          CMP                     September 20054.2.1.  Criteria Used4.2.1.1.  Initiation of Registration/Certification   In terms of the PKI messages that are produced, we can regard the   initiation of the initial registration/certification exchanges as   occurring wherever the first PKI message relating to the end entity   is produced.  Note that the real-world initiation of the   registration/certification procedure may occur elsewhere (e.g., a   personnel department may telephone an RA operator).   The possible locations are at the end entity, an RA, or a CA.4.2.1.2.  End Entity Message Origin Authentication   The on-line messages produced by the end entity that requires a   certificate may be authenticated or not.  The requirement here is to   authenticate the origin of any messages from the end entity to the   PKI (CA/RA).   In this specification, such authentication is achieved by the PKI   (CA/RA) issuing the end entity with a secret value (initial   authentication key) and reference value (used to identify the secret   value) via some out-of-band means.  The initial authentication key   can then be used to protect relevant PKI messages.   Thus, we can classify the initial registration/certification scheme   according to whether or not the on-line end entity -> PKI messages   are authenticated or not.   Note 1: We do not discuss the authentication of the PKI -> end entity   messages here, as this is always REQUIRED.  In any case, it can be   achieved simply once the root-CA public key has been installed at the   end entity's equipment or it can be based on the initial   authentication key.   Note 2: An initial registration/certification procedure can be secure   where the messages from the end entity are authenticated via some   out-of-band means (e.g., a subsequent visit).4.2.1.3.  Location of Key Generation   In this specification, "key generation" is regarded as occurring   wherever either the public or private component of a key pair first   occurs in a PKIMessage.  Note that this does not preclude a   centralized key generation service; the actual key pair MAY have beenAdams, et al.               Standards Track                    [Page 15]

RFC 4210                          CMP                     September 2005   generated elsewhere and transported to the end entity, RA, or CA   using a (proprietary or standardized) key generation request/response   protocol (outside the scope of this specification).   Thus, there are three possibilities for the location of "key   generation":  the end entity, an RA, or a CA.4.2.1.4.  Confirmation of Successful Certification   Following the creation of an initial certificate for an end entity,   additional assurance can be gained by having the end entity   explicitly confirm successful receipt of the message containing (or   indicating the creation of) the certificate.  Naturally, this   confirmation message must be protected (based on the initial   authentication key or other means).   This gives two further possibilities: confirmed or not.4.2.2.  Mandatory Schemes   The criteria above allow for a large number of initial   registration/certification schemes.  This specification mandates that   conforming CA equipment, RA equipment, and EE equipment MUST support   the second scheme listed below (Section 4.2.2.2).  Any entity MAY   additionally support other schemes, if desired.4.2.2.1.  Centralized Scheme   In terms of the classification above, this scheme is, in some ways,   the simplest possible, where:   o  initiation occurs at the certifying CA;   o  no on-line message authentication is required;   o  "key generation" occurs at the certifying CA (seeSection4.2.1.3);   o  no confirmation message is required.   In terms of message flow, this scheme means that the only message   required is sent from the CA to the end entity.  The message must   contain the entire PSE for the end entity.  Some out-of-band means   must be provided to allow the end entity to authenticate the message   received and to decrypt any encrypted values.Adams, et al.               Standards Track                    [Page 16]

RFC 4210                          CMP                     September 20054.2.2.2.  Basic Authenticated Scheme   In terms of the classification above, this scheme is where:   o  initiation occurs at the end entity;   o  message authentication is REQUIRED;   o  "key generation" occurs at the end entity (seeSection 4.2.1.3);   o  a confirmation message is REQUIRED.   In terms of message flow, the basic authenticated scheme is as   follows:     End entity                                          RA/CA     ==========                                      =============          out-of-band distribution of Initial Authentication          Key (IAK) and reference value (RA/CA -> EE)     Key generation     Creation of certification request     Protect request with IAK                   -->>-- certification request -->>--                                                    verify request                                                    process request                                                    create response                   --<<-- certification response --<<--     handle response     create confirmation                   -->>-- cert conf message      -->>--                                                    verify confirmation                                                    create response                   --<<-- conf ack (optional)    --<<--     handle response   (Where verification of the cert confirmation message fails, the RA/CA   MUST revoke the newly issued certificate if it has been published or   otherwise made available.)4.3.  Proof-of-Possession (POP) of Private Key   In order to prevent certain attacks and to allow a CA/RA to properly   check the validity of the binding between an end entity and a key   pair, the PKI management operations specified here make it possible   for an end entity to prove that it has possession of (i.e., is able   to use) the private key corresponding to the public key for which a   certificate is requested.  A given CA/RA is free to choose how to   enforce POP (e.g., out-of-band procedural means versus PKIX-CMPAdams, et al.               Standards Track                    [Page 17]

RFC 4210                          CMP                     September 2005   in-band messages) in its certification exchanges (i.e., this may be a   policy issue).  However, it is REQUIRED that CAs/RAs MUST enforce POP   by some means because there are currently many non-PKIX operational   protocols in use (various electronic mail protocols are one example)   that do not explicitly check the binding between the end entity and   the private key.  Until operational protocols that do verify the   binding (for signature, encryption, and key agreement key pairs)   exist, and are ubiquitous, this binding can only be assumed to have   been verified by the CA/RA.  Therefore, if the binding is not   verified by the CA/RA, certificates in the Internet Public-Key   Infrastructure end up being somewhat less meaningful.   POP is accomplished in different ways depending upon the type of key   for which a certificate is requested.  If a key can be used for   multiple purposes (e.g., an RSA key) then any appropriate method MAY   be used (e.g., a key that may be used for signing, as well as other   purposes, SHOULD NOT be sent to the CA/RA in order to prove   possession).   This specification explicitly allows for cases where an end entity   supplies the relevant proof to an RA and the RA subsequently attests   to the CA that the required proof has been received (and validated!).   For example, an end entity wishing to have a signing key certified   could send the appropriate signature to the RA, which then simply   notifies the relevant CA that the end entity has supplied the   required proof.  Of course, such a situation may be disallowed by   some policies (e.g., CAs may be the only entities permitted to verify   POP during certification).4.3.1.  Signature Keys   For signature keys, the end entity can sign a value to prove   possession of the private key.4.3.2.  Encryption Keys   For encryption keys, the end entity can provide the private key to   the CA/RA, or can be required to decrypt a value in order to prove   possession of the private key (seeSection 5.2.8).  Decrypting a   value can be achieved either directly or indirectly.   The direct method is for the RA/CA to issue a random challenge to   which an immediate response by the EE is required.Adams, et al.               Standards Track                    [Page 18]

RFC 4210                          CMP                     September 2005   The indirect method is to issue a certificate that is encrypted for   the end entity (and have the end entity demonstrate its ability to   decrypt this certificate in the confirmation message).  This allows a   CA to issue a certificate in a form that can only be used by the   intended end entity.   This specification encourages use of the indirect method because it   requires no extra messages to be sent (i.e., the proof can be   demonstrated using the {request, response, confirmation} triple of   messages).4.3.3.  Key Agreement Keys   For key agreement keys, the end entity and the PKI management entity   (i.e., CA or RA) must establish a shared secret key in order to prove   that the end entity has possession of the private key.   Note that this need not impose any restrictions on the keys that can   be certified by a given CA.  In particular, for Diffie-Hellman keys   the end entity may freely choose its algorithm parameters provided   that the CA can generate a short-term (or one-time) key pair with the   appropriate parameters when necessary.4.4.  Root CA Key Update   This discussion only applies to CAs that are directly trusted by some   end entities.  Self-signed CAs SHALL be considered as directly   trusted CAs.  Recognizing whether a non-self-signed CA is supposed to   be directly trusted for some end entities is a matter of CA policy   and is thus beyond the scope of this document.   The basis of the procedure described here is that the CA protects its   new public key using its previous private key and vice versa.  Thus,   when a CA updates its key pair it must generate two extra   cACertificate attribute values if certificates are made available   using an X.500 directory (for a total of four: OldWithOld,   OldWithNew, NewWithOld, and NewWithNew).   When a CA changes its key pair, those entities who have acquired the   old CA public key via "out-of-band" means are most affected.  It is   these end entities who will need access to the new CA public key   protected with the old CA private key.  However, they will only   require this for a limited period (until they have acquired the new   CA public key via the "out-of-band" mechanism).  This will typically   be easily achieved when these end entities' certificates expire.Adams, et al.               Standards Track                    [Page 19]

RFC 4210                          CMP                     September 2005   The data structure used to protect the new and old CA public keys is   a standard certificate (which may also contain extensions).  There   are no new data structures required.   Note 1.  This scheme does not make use of any of the X.509 v3   extensions as it must be able to work even for version 1   certificates.  The presence of the KeyIdentifier extension would make   for efficiency improvements.   Note 2.  While the scheme could be generalized to cover cases where   the CA updates its key pair more than once during the validity period   of one of its end entities' certificates, this generalization seems   of dubious value.  Not having this generalization simply means that   the validity periods of certificates issued with the old CA key pair   cannot exceed the end of the OldWithNew validity period.   Note 3.  This scheme ensures that end entities will acquire the new   CA public key, at the latest by the expiry of the last certificate   they owned that was signed with the old CA private key (via the   "out-of-band" means).  Certificate and/or key update operations   occurring at other times do not necessarily require this (depending   on the end entity's equipment).4.4.1.  CA Operator Actions   To change the key of the CA, the CA operator does the following:   1.  Generate a new key pair;   2.  Create a certificate containing the old CA public key signed with       the new private key (the "old with new" certificate);   3.  Create a certificate containing the new CA public key signed with       the old private key (the "new with old" certificate);   4.  Create a certificate containing the new CA public key signed with       the new private key (the "new with new" certificate);   5.  Publish these new certificates via the repository and/or other       means (perhaps using a CAKeyUpdAnn message);   6.  Export the new CA public key so that end entities may acquire it       using the "out-of-band" mechanism (if required).   The old CA private key is then no longer required.  However, the old   CA public key will remain in use for some time.  The old CA public   key is no longer required (other than for non-repudiation) when all   end entities of this CA have securely acquired the new CA public key.Adams, et al.

The "new with old" certificate must have a validity period starting   at the generation time of the new key pair and ending at the time by   which all end entities of this CA will securely possess the new CA   public key (at the latest, the expiry date of the old public key).   The "new with new" certificate must have a validity period starting   at the generation time of the new key pair and ending at or before   the time by which the CA will next update its key pair.4.4.2.  Verifying Certificates   Normally when verifying a signature, the verifier verifies (among   other things) the certificate containing the public key of the   signer.  However, once a CA is allowed to update its key there are a   range of new possibilities.  These are shown in the table below.

Verification in Cases 1, 4, 5, and 8   In these cases, the verifier has a local copy of the CA public key   that can be used to verify the certificate directly.  This is the   same as the situation where no key change has occurred.   Note that case 8 may arise between the time when the CA operator has   generated the new key pair and the time when the CA operator stores   the updated attributes in the repository.  Case 5 can only arise if   the CA operator has issued both the signer's and verifier's   certificates during this "gap" (the CA operator SHOULD avoid this as   it leads to the failure cases described below)4.4.2.2.  Verification in Case 2   In case 2, the verifier must get access to the old public key of the   CA.  The verifier does the following:   1.  Look up the caCertificate attribute in the repository and pick       the OldWithNew certificate (determined based on validity periods;       note that the subject and issuer fields must match);   2.  Verify that this is correct using the new CA key (which the       verifier has locally);   3.  If correct, check the signer's certificate using the old CA key.   Case 2 will arise when the CA operator has issued the signer's   certificate, then changed the key, and then issued the verifier's   certificate; so it is quite a typical case.Adams, et al.

The verifier does the following:   1.  Look up the CACertificate attribute in the repository and pick       the NewWithOld certificate (determined based on validity periods;       note that the subject and issuer fields must match);   2.  Verify that this is correct using the old CA key (which the       verifier has stored locally);   3.  If correct, check the signer's certificate using the new CA key.   Case 3 will arise when the CA operator has issued the verifier's   certificate, then changed the key, and then issued the signer's   certificate; so it is also quite a typical case.4.4.2.4.  Failure of Verification in Case 6   In this case, the CA has issued the verifier's PSE, which contains   the new key, without updating the repository attributes.  This means   that the verifier has no means to get a trustworthy version of the   CA's old key and so verification fails.   Note that the failure is the CA operator's fault.4.4.2.5.  Failure of Verification in Case 7   In this case, the CA has issued the signer's certificate protected   with the new key without updating the repository attributes.  This   means that the verifier has no means to get a trustworthy version of   the CA's new key and so verification fails.   Note that the failure is again the CA operator's fault.4.4.3.  Revocation - Change of CA Key   As we saw above, the verification of a certificate becomes more   complex once the CA is allowed to change its key.  This is also true   for revocation checks as the CA may have signed the CRL using a newer   private key than the one within the user's PSE.   The analysis of the alternatives is the same as for certificate   verification.Adams, et al.               Standards Track                    [Page 23]

Data Structures   This section contains descriptions of the data structures required   for PKI management messages.Section 6 describes constraints on   their values and the sequence of events for each of the various PKI   management operations.5.1.  Overall PKI Message   All of the messages used in this specification for the purposes of   PKI management use the following structure:      PKIMessage ::= SEQUENCE {         header           PKIHeader,         body             PKIBody,         protection   [0] PKIProtection OPTIONAL,         extraCerts   [1] SEQUENCE SIZE (1..MAX) OF CMPCertificate                          OPTIONAL     }     PKIMessages ::= SEQUENCE SIZE (1..MAX) OF PKIMessage   The PKIHeader contains information that is common to many PKI   messages.   The PKIBody contains message-specific information.   The PKIProtection, when used, contains bits that protect the PKI   message.   The extraCerts field can contain certificates that may be useful to   the recipient.  For example, this can be used by a CA or RA to   present an end entity with certificates that it needs to verify its   own new certificate (if, for example, the CA that issued the end   entity's certificate is not a root CA for the end entity).  Note that   this field does not necessarily contain a certification path; the   recipient may have to sort, select from, or otherwise process the   extra certificates in order to use them.5.1.1.  PKI Message Header   All PKI messages require some header information for addressing and   transaction identification.  Some of this information will also be   present in a transport-specific envelope.  However, if the PKI   message is protected, then this information is also protected (i.e.,   we make no assumption about secure transport).Adams, et al.

RFC 4210                          CMP                     September 2005   The following data structure is used to contain this information:     PKIHeader ::= SEQUENCE {         pvno                INTEGER     { cmp1999(1), cmp2000(2) },         sender              GeneralName,         recipient           GeneralName,         messageTime     [0] GeneralizedTime         OPTIONAL,         protectionAlg   [1] AlgorithmIdentifier     OPTIONAL,         senderKID       [2] KeyIdentifier           OPTIONAL,         recipKID        [3] KeyIdentifier           OPTIONAL,         transactionID   [4] OCTET STRING            OPTIONAL,         senderNonce     [5] OCTET STRING            OPTIONAL,         recipNonce      [6] OCTET STRING            OPTIONAL,         freeText        [7] PKIFreeText             OPTIONAL,         generalInfo     [8] SEQUENCE SIZE (1..MAX) OF                             InfoTypeAndValue     OPTIONAL     }     PKIFreeText ::= SEQUENCE SIZE (1..MAX) OF UTF8String   The pvno field is fixed (at 2) for this version of this   specification.   The sender field contains the name of the sender of the PKIMessage.   This name (in conjunction with senderKID, if supplied) should be   sufficient to indicate the key to use to verify the protection on the   message.  If nothing about the sender is known to the sending entity   (e.g., in the init. req. message, where the end entity may not know   its own Distinguished Name (DN), e-mail name, IP address, etc.), then   the "sender" field MUST contain a "NULL" value; that is, the SEQUENCE   OF relative distinguished names is of zero length.  In such a case,   the senderKID field MUST hold an identifier (i.e., a reference   number) that indicates to the receiver the appropriate shared secret   information to use to verify the message.   The recipient field contains the name of the recipient of the   PKIMessage.  This name (in conjunction with recipKID, if supplied)   should be usable to verify the protection on the message.   The protectionAlg field specifies the algorithm used to protect the   message.  If no protection bits are supplied (note that PKIProtection   is OPTIONAL) then this field MUST be omitted; if protection bits are   supplied, then this field MUST be supplied.   senderKID and recipKID are usable to indicate which keys have been   used to protect the message (recipKID will normally only be required   where protection of the message uses Diffie-Hellman (DH) keys).Adams, et al.               Standards Track                    [Page 25]

RFC 4210                          CMP                     September 2005   These fields MUST be used if required to uniquely identify a key   (e.g., if more than one key is associated with a given sender name)   and SHOULD be omitted otherwise.   The transactionID field within the message header is to be used to   allow the recipient of a message to correlate this with an ongoing   transaction.  This is needed for all transactions that consist of   more than just a single request/response pair.  For transactions that   consist of a single request/response pair, the rules are as follows.   A client MAY populate the transactionID field of the request.  If a   server receives such a request that has the transactionID field set,   then it MUST set the transactionID field of the response to the same   value.  If a server receives such request with a missing   transactionID field, then it MAY set transactionID field of the   response.   For transactions that consist of more than just a single   request/response pair, the rules are as follows.  Clients SHOULD   generate a transactionID for the first request.  If a server receives   such a request that has the transactionID field set, then it MUST set   the transactionID field of the response to the same value.  If a   server receives such request with a missing transactionID field, then   it MUST populate the transactionID field of the response with a   server-generated ID.  Subsequent requests and responses MUST all set   the transactionID field to the thus established value.  In all cases   where a transactionID is being used, a given client MUST NOT have   more than one transaction with the same transactionID in progress at   any time (to a given server).  Servers are free to require uniqueness   of the transactionID or not, as long as they are able to correctly   associate messages with the corresponding transaction.  Typically,   this means that a server will require the {client, transactionID}   tuple to be unique, or even the transactionID alone to be unique, if   it cannot distinguish clients based on transport-level information.   A server receiving the first message of a transaction (which requires   more than a single request/response pair) that contains a   transactionID that does not allow it to meet the above constraints   (typically because the transactionID is already in use) MUST send   back an ErrorMsgContent with a PKIFailureInfo of transactionIdInUse.   It is RECOMMENDED that the clients fill the transactionID field with   128 bits of (pseudo-) random data for the start of a transaction to   reduce the probability of having the transactionID in use at the   server.   The senderNonce and recipNonce fields protect the PKIMessage against   replay attacks.  The senderNonce will typically be 128 bits of   (pseudo-) random data generated by the sender, whereas the recipNonce   is copied from the senderNonce of the previous message in the   transaction.Adams, et al.

RFC 4210                          CMP                     September 2005   The messageTime field contains the time at which the sender created   the message.  This may be useful to allow end entities to   correct/check their local time for consistency with the time on a   central system.   The freeText field may be used to send a human-readable message to   the recipient (in any number of languages).  The first language used   in this sequence indicates the desired language for replies.   The generalInfo field may be used to send machine-processable   additional data to the recipient.  The following generalInfo   extensions are defined and MAY be supported.5.1.1.1.  ImplicitConfirm   This is used by the EE to inform the CA that it does not wish to send   a certificate confirmation for issued certificates.         implicitConfirm OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {id-it 13}         ImplicitConfirmValue ::= NULL   If the CA grants the request to the EE, it MUST put the same   extension in the PKIHeader of the response.  If the EE does not find   the extension in the response, it MUST send the certificate   confirmation.5.1.1.2.  ConfirmWaitTime   This is used by the CA to inform the EE how long it intends to wait   for the certificate confirmation before revoking the certificate and   deleting the transaction.         confirmWaitTime OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {id-it 14}         ConfirmWaitTimeValue ::= GeneralizedTime5.1.2.

PKI Message Protection   Some PKI messages will be protected for integrity.  (Note that if an   asymmetric algorithm is used to protect a message and the relevant   public component has been certified already, then the origin of the   message can also be authenticated.  On the other hand, if the public   component is uncertified, then the message origin cannot be   automatically authenticated, but may be authenticated via out-of-band   means.)   When protection is applied, the following structure is used:        PKIProtection ::= BIT STRING   The input to the calculation of PKIProtection is the DER encoding of   the following data structure:        ProtectedPart ::= SEQUENCE {            header    PKIHeader,            body      PKIBody        }   There MAY be cases in which the PKIProtection BIT STRING is   deliberately not used to protect a message (i.e., this OPTIONAL field   is omitted) because other protection, external to PKIX, will be   applied instead.  Such a choice is explicitly allowed in this   specification.  Examples of such external protection include PKCS #7Adams, et al.               Standards Track                    [Page 28]

RFC 4210                          CMP                     September 2005   [PKCS7] and Security Multiparts [RFC1847] encapsulation of the   PKIMessage (or simply the PKIBody (omitting the CHOICE tag), if the   relevant PKIHeader information is securely carried in the external   mechanism).  It is noted, however, that many such external mechanisms   require that the end entity already possesses a public-key   certificate, and/or a unique Distinguished Name, and/or other such   infrastructure-related information.  Thus, they may not be   appropriate for initial registration, key-recovery, or any other   process with "boot-strapping" characteristics.  For those cases it   may be necessary that the PKIProtection parameter be used.  In the   future, if/when external mechanisms are modified to accommodate   boot-strapping scenarios, the use of PKIProtection may become rare or   non-existent.   Depending on the circumstances, the PKIProtection bits may contain a   Message Authentication Code (MAC) or signature.  Only the following   cases can occur:5.1.3.1.  Shared Secret Information   In this case, the sender and recipient share secret information   (established via out-of-band means or from a previous PKI management   operation).  PKIProtection will contain a MAC value and the   protectionAlg will be the following (see alsoAppendix D.2):     id-PasswordBasedMac OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {1 2 840 113533 7 66 13}     PBMParameter ::= SEQUENCE {       salt                OCTET STRING,       owf                 AlgorithmIdentifier,       iterationCount      INTEGER,       mac                 AlgorithmIdentifier     }   In the above protectionAlg, the salt value is appended to the shared   secret input.  The OWF is then applied iterationCount times, where   the salted secret is the input to the first iteration and, for each   successive iteration, the input is set to be the output of the   previous iteration.  The output of the final iteration (called   "BASEKEY" for ease of reference, with a size of "H") is what is used   to form the symmetric key.  If the MAC algorithm requires a K-bit key   and K <= H, then the most significant K bits of BASEKEY are used.  If   K > H, then all of BASEKEY is used for the most significant H bits of   the key, OWF("1" || BASEKEY) is used for the next most significant H   bits of the key, OWF("2" || BASEKEY) is used for the next most   significant H bits of the key, and so on, until all K bits have been   derived.

DH Key Pairs   Where the sender and receiver possess Diffie-Hellman certificates   with compatible DH parameters, in order to protect the message the   end entity must generate a symmetric key based on its private DH key   value and the DH public key of the recipient of the PKI message.   PKIProtection will contain a MAC value keyed with this derived   symmetric key and the protectionAlg will be the following:        id-DHBasedMac OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {1 2 840 113533 7 66 30}        DHBMParameter ::= SEQUENCE {            owf                 AlgorithmIdentifier,            -- AlgId for a One-Way Function (SHA-1 recommended)            mac                 AlgorithmIdentifier            -- the MAC AlgId (e.g., DES-MAC, Triple-DES-MAC [PKCS11],        }   -- or HMAC [RFC2104,RFC2202])   In the above protectionAlg, OWF is applied to the result of the   Diffie-Hellman computation.  The OWF output (called "BASEKEY" for   ease of reference, with a size of "H") is what is used to form the   symmetric key.  If the MAC algorithm requires a K-bit key and K <= H,   then the most significant K bits of BASEKEY are used.  If K > H, then   all of BASEKEY is used for the most significant H bits of the key,   OWF("1" || BASEKEY) is used for the next most significant H bits of   the key, OWF("2" || BASEKEY) is used for the next most significant H   bits of the key, and so on, until all K bits have been derived.   [Here "N" is the ASCII byte encoding the number N and "||" represents   concatenation.]5.1.3.3.  Signature   In this case, the sender possesses a signature key pair and simply   signs the PKI message.  PKIProtection will contain the signature   value and the protectionAlg will be an AlgorithmIdentifier for a   digital signature (e.g., md5WithRSAEncryption or dsaWithSha-1).5.1.3.4.  Multiple Protection   In cases where an end entity sends a protected PKI message to an RA,   the RA MAY forward that message to a CA, attaching its own protection   (which MAY be a MAC or a signature, depending on the information and   certificates shared between the RA and the CA).  This is accomplishedAdams, et al.               Standards Track                    [Page 30]

RFC 4210                          CMP                     September 2005   by nesting the entire message sent by the end entity within a new PKI   message.  The structure used is as follows.          NestedMessageContent ::= PKIMessages   (The use of PKIMessages, a SEQUENCE OF PKIMessage, lets the RA batch   the requests of several EEs in a single new message.  For simplicity,   all messages in the batch MUST be of the same type (e.g., ir).)  If   the RA wishes to modify the message(s) in some way (e.g., add   particular field values or new extensions), then it MAY create its   own desired PKIBody.  The original PKIMessage from the EE MAY be   included in the generalInfo field of PKIHeader (to accommodate, for   example, cases in which the CA wishes to check POP or other   information on the original EE message).  The infoType to be used in   this situation is {id-it 15} (seeSection 5.3.19 for the value of   id-it) and the infoValue is PKIMessages (contents MUST be in the same   order as the requests in PKIBody).5.2.  Common Data Structures   Before specifying the specific types that may be placed in a PKIBody,   we define some data structures that are used in more than one case.5.2.1.  Requested Certificate Contents   Various PKI management messages require that the originator of the   message indicate some of the fields that are required to be present   in a certificate.  The CertTemplate structure allows an end entity or   RA to specify as much as it wishes about the certificate it requires.   CertTemplate is identical to a Certificate, but with all fields   optional.   Note that even if the originator completely specifies the contents of   a certificate it requires, a CA is free to modify fields within the   certificate actually issued.  If the modified certificate is   unacceptable to the requester, the requester MUST send back a   certConf message that either does not include this certificate (via a   CertHash), or does include this certificate (via a CertHash) along   with a status of "rejected".  SeeSection 5.3.18 for the definition   and use of CertHash and the certConf message.   SeeAppendix C and [CRMF] for CertTemplate syntax.5.2.2.  Encrypted Values   Where encrypted values (restricted, in this specification, to be   either private keys or certificates) are sent in PKI messages, the   EncryptedValue data structure is used.Adams, et al.               Standards Track                    [Page 31]

RFC 4210                          CMP                     September 2005   See [CRMF] for EncryptedValue syntax.   Use of this data structure requires that the creator and intended   recipient be able to encrypt and decrypt, respectively.  Typically,   this will mean that the sender and recipient have, or are able to   generate, a shared secret key.   If the recipient of the PKIMessage already possesses a private key   usable for decryption, then the encSymmKey field MAY contain a   session key encrypted using the recipient's public key.5.2.3.  Status codes and Failure Information for PKI Messages   All response messages will include some status information.  The   following values are defined.        PKIStatus ::= INTEGER {            accepted               (0),            grantedWithMods        (1),            rejection              (2),            waiting                (3),            revocationWarning      (4),            revocationNotification (5),            keyUpdateWarning       (6)        }   Responders may use the following syntax to provide more information   about failure cases.        PKIFailureInfo ::= BIT STRING {            badAlg              (0),            badMessageCheck     (1),            badRequest          (2),            badTime             (3),            badCertId           (4),            badDataFormat       (5),            wrongAuthority      (6),            incorrectData       (7),            missingTimeStamp    (8),            badPOP              (9),            certRevoked         (10),            certConfirmed       (11),            wrongIntegrity      (12),            badRecipientNonce   (13),            timeNotAvailable    (14),            unacceptedPolicy    (15),            unacceptedExtension (16),            addInfoNotAvailable (17),Adams, et al.

Certificate Identification   In order to identify particular certificates, the CertId data   structure is used.   See [CRMF] for CertId syntax.5.2.5.  Out-of-band root CA Public Key   Each root CA must be able to publish its current public key via some   "out-of-band" means.  While such mechanisms are beyond the scope of   this document, we define data structures that can support such   mechanisms.   There are generally two methods available: either the CA directly   publishes its self-signed certificate, or this information is   available via the Directory (or equivalent) and the CA publishes a   hash of this value to allow verification of its integrity before use.        OOBCert ::= Certificate   The fields within this certificate are restricted as follows:   o  The certificate MUST be self-signed (i.e., the signature must be      verifiable using the SubjectPublicKeyInfo field);   o  The subject and issuer fields MUST be identical;   o  If the subject field is NULL, then both subjectAltNames and      issuerAltNames extensions MUST be present and have exactly the      same value;Adams, et al.               Standards Track                    [Page 33]

RFC 4210                          CMP                     September 2005   o  The values of all other extensions must be suitable for a self-      signed certificate (e.g., key identifiers for subject and issuer      must be the same).        OOBCertHash ::= SEQUENCE {            hashAlg     [0] AlgorithmIdentifier     OPTIONAL,            certId      [1] CertId                  OPTIONAL,            hashVal         BIT STRING        }   The intention of the hash value is that anyone who has securely   received the hash value (via the out-of-band means) can verify a   self-signed certificate for that CA.5.2.6.  Archive Options   Requesters may indicate that they wish the PKI to archive a private   key value using the PKIArchiveOptions structure.   See [CRMF] for PKIArchiveOptions syntax.5.2.7.  Publication Information   Requesters may indicate that they wish the PKI to publish a   certificate using the PKIPublicationInfo structure.   See [CRMF] for PKIPublicationInfo syntax.5.2.8.  Proof-of-Possession Structures   If the certification request is for a signing key pair (i.e., a   request for a verification certificate), then the proof-of-possession   of the private signing key is demonstrated through use of the   POPOSigningKey structure.   SeeAppendix C and [CRMF] for POPOSigningKey syntax, but note that   POPOSigningKeyInput has the following semantic stipulations in this   specification.        POPOSigningKeyInput ::= SEQUENCE {            authInfo            CHOICE {                sender              [0] GeneralName,                publicKeyMAC            PKMACValue            },            publicKey           SubjectPublicKeyInfo        }Adams, et al.

RFC 4210                          CMP                     September 2005   On the other hand, if the certification request is for an encryption   key pair (i.e., a request for an encryption certificate), then the   proof-of-possession of the private decryption key may be demonstrated   in one of three ways.5.2.8.1.  Inclusion of the Private Key   By the inclusion of the private key (encrypted) in the CertRequest   (in the thisMessage field of POPOPrivKey (seeAppendix C) or in the   PKIArchiveOptions control structure, depending upon whether or not   archival of the private key is also desired).5.2.8.2.  Indirect Method   By having the CA return not the certificate, but an encrypted   certificate (i.e., the certificate encrypted under a randomly-   generated symmetric key, and the symmetric key encrypted under the   public key for which the certification request is being made) -- this   is the "indirect" method mentioned previously inSection 4.3.2. The   end entity proves knowledge of the private decryption key to the CA   by providing the correct CertHash for this certificate in the   certConf message.  This demonstrates POP because the EE can only   compute the correct CertHash if it is able to recover the   certificate, and it can only recover the certificate if it is able to   decrypt the symmetric key using the required private key.  Clearly,   for this to work, the CA MUST NOT publish the certificate until the   certConf message arrives (when certHash is to be used to demonstrate   POP).  SeeSection 5.3.18 for further details.5.2.8.3.  Challenge-Response Protocol   By having the end entity engage in a challenge-response protocol   (using the messages POPODecKeyChall and POPODecKeyResp; see below)   between CertReqMessages and CertRepMessage -- this is the "direct"   method mentioned previously inSection 4.3.2.  (This method would   typically be used in an environment in which an RA verifies POP and   then makes a certification request to the CA on behalf of the end   entity.  In such a scenario, the CA trusts the RA to have done POP   correctly before the RA requests a certificate for the end entity.)   The complete protocol then looks as follows (note that req' does not   necessarily encapsulate req as a nested message):Adams, et al.               Standards Track                    [Page 35]

RFC 4210                          CMP                     September 2005                   EE            RA            CA                    ---- req ---->                    <--- chall ---                    ---- resp --->                                  ---- req' --->                                  <--- rep -----                                  ---- conf --->                                  <--- ack -----                    <--- rep -----                    ---- conf --->                    <--- ack -----   This protocol is obviously much longer than the 3-way exchange given   in choice (2) above, but allows a local Registration Authority to be   involved and has the property that the certificate itself is not   actually created until the proof-of-possession is complete.  In some   environments, a different order of the above messages may be   required, such as the following (this may be determined by policy):                   EE            RA            CA                    ---- req ---->                    <--- chall ---                    ---- resp --->                                  ---- req' --->                                  <--- rep -----                    <--- rep -----                    ---- conf --->                                  ---- conf --->                                  <--- ack -----                    <--- ack -----   If the cert. request is for a key agreement key (KAK) pair, then the   POP can use any of the 3 ways described above for enc. key pairs,   with the following changes: (1) the parenthetical text of bullet 2)   is replaced with "(i.e., the certificate encrypted under the   symmetric key derived from the CA's private KAK and the public key   for which the certification request is being made)"; (2) the first   parenthetical text of the challenge field of "Challenge" below is   replaced with "(using PreferredSymmAlg (seeSection 5.3.19.4 andAppendix E.5) and a symmetric key derived from the CA's private KAK   and the public key for which the certification request is being   made)".  Alternatively, the POP can use the POPOSigningKey structure   given in [CRMF] (where the alg field is DHBasedMAC and the signature   field is the MAC) as a fourth alternative for demonstrating POP if   the CA already has a D-H certificate that is known to the EE.Adams, et al.               Standards Track                    [Page 36]

RFC 4210                          CMP                     September 2005   The challenge-response messages for proof-of-possession of a private   decryption key are specified as follows (see [MvOV97], p.404 for   details).  Note that this challenge-response exchange is associated   with the preceding cert. request message (and subsequent cert.   response and confirmation messages) by the transactionID used in the   PKIHeader and by the protection (MACing or signing) applied to the   PKIMessage.        POPODecKeyChallContent ::= SEQUENCE OF Challenge        Challenge ::= SEQUENCE {            owf                 AlgorithmIdentifier  OPTIONAL,            witness             OCTET STRING,            challenge           OCTET STRING        }   Note that the size of Rand needs to be appropriate for encryption   under the public key of the requester.  Given that "int" will   typically not be longer than 64 bits, this leaves well over 100 bytes   of room for the "sender" field when the modulus is 1024 bits.  If, in   some environment, names are so long that they cannot fit (e.g., very   long DNs), then whatever portion will fit should be used (as long as   it includes at least the common name, and as long as the receiver is   able to deal meaningfully with the abbreviation).        POPODecKeyRespContent ::= SEQUENCE OF INTEGER5.2.8.4.  Summary of PoP Options   The text in this section provides several options with respect to POP   techniques.  Using "SK" for "signing key", "EK" for "encryption key",   and "KAK" for "key agreement key", the techniques may be summarized   as follows:         RAVerified;         SKPOP;         EKPOPThisMessage;         KAKPOPThisMessage;         KAKPOPThisMessageDHMAC;         EKPOPEncryptedCert;         KAKPOPEncryptedCert;         EKPOPChallengeResp; and         KAKPOPChallengeResp.   Given this array of options, it is natural to ask how an end entity   can know what is supported by the CA/RA (i.e., which options it may   use when requesting certificates).  The following guidelines should   clarify this situation for EE implementers.Adams, et al.               Standards Track                    [Page 37]

RFC 4210                          CMP                     September 2005   RAVerified.  This is not an EE decision; the RA uses this if and only   if it has verified POP before forwarding the request on to the CA, so   it is not possible for the EE to choose this technique.   SKPOP.  If the EE has a signing key pair, this is the only POP method   specified for use in the request for a corresponding certificate.   EKPOPThisMessage and KAKPOPThisMessage.  Whether or not to give up   its private key to the CA/RA is an EE decision.  If the EE decides to   reveal its key, then these are the only POP methods available in this   specification to achieve this (and the key pair type will determine   which of these two methods to use).   KAKPOPThisMessageDHMAC.  The EE can only use this method if (1) the   CA has a DH certificate available for this purpose, and (2) the EE   already has a copy of this certificate.  If both these conditions   hold, then this technique is clearly supported and may be used by the   EE, if desired.   EKPOPEncryptedCert, KAKPOPEncryptedCert, EKPOPChallengeResp,   KAKPOPChallengeResp.  The EE picks one of these (in the   subsequentMessage field) in the request message, depending upon   preference and key pair type.  The EE is not doing POP at this point;   it is simply indicating which method it wants to use.  Therefore, if   the CA/RA replies with a "badPOP" error, the EE can re-request using   the other POP method chosen in subsequentMessage.  Note, however,   that this specification encourages the use of the EncryptedCert   choice and, furthermore, says that the challenge-response would   typically be used when an RA is involved and doing POP verification.   Thus, the EE should be able to make an intelligent decision regarding   which of these POP methods to choose in the request message.5.3.  Operation-Specific Data Structures5.3.1.  Initialization Request   An Initialization request message contains as the PKIBody a   CertReqMessages data structure, which specifies the requested   certificate(s).  Typically, SubjectPublicKeyInfo, KeyId, and Validity   are the template fields which may be supplied for each certificate   requested (seeAppendix D profiles for further information).  This   message is intended to be used for entities when first initializing   into the PKI.   SeeAppendix C and [CRMF] for CertReqMessages syntax.Adams, et al.               Standards Track                    [Page 38]

RFC 4210                          CMP                     September 20055.3.2.  Initialization Response   An Initialization response message contains as the PKIBody an   CertRepMessage data structure, which has for each certificate   requested a PKIStatusInfo field, a subject certificate, and possibly   a private key (normally encrypted with a session key, which is itself   encrypted with the protocolEncrKey).   SeeSection 5.3.4 for CertRepMessage syntax.  Note that if the PKI   Message Protection is "shared secret information" (seeSection5.1.3), then any certificate transported in the caPubs field may be   directly trusted as a root CA certificate by the initiator.5.3.3.  Certification Request   A Certification request message contains as the PKIBody a   CertReqMessages data structure, which specifies the requested   certificates.  This message is intended to be used for existing PKI   entities who wish to obtain additional certificates.   SeeAppendix C and [CRMF] for CertReqMessages syntax.   Alternatively, the PKIBody MAY be a CertificationRequest (this   structure is fully specified by the ASN.1 structure   CertificationRequest given in [PKCS10]).  This structure may be   required for certificate requests for signing key pairs when   interoperation with legacy systems is desired, but its use is   strongly discouraged whenever not absolutely necessary.5.3.4.  Certification Response   A Certification response message contains as the PKIBody a   CertRepMessage data structure, which has a status value for each   certificate requested, and optionally has a CA public key, failure   information, a subject certificate, and an encrypted private key.     CertRepMessage ::= SEQUENCE {         caPubs          [1] SEQUENCE SIZE (1..MAX) OF Certificate                             OPTIONAL,         response            SEQUENCE OF CertResponse     }     CertResponse ::= SEQUENCE {         certReqId           INTEGER,         status              PKIStatusInfo,         certifiedKeyPair    CertifiedKeyPair    OPTIONAL,         rspInfo             OCTET STRING        OPTIONAL         -- analogous to the id-regInfo-utf8Pairs string definedAdams, et al.

For some status values (e.g., waiting),   neither of the optional fields will be present.   Given an EncryptedCert and the relevant decryption key, the   certificate may be obtained.  The purpose of this is to allow a CA to   return the value of a certificate, but with the constraint that only   the intended recipient can obtain the actual certificate.  The   benefit of this approach is that a CA may reply with a certificate   even in the absence of a proof that the requester is the end entity   that can use the relevant private key (note that the proof is not   obtained until the certConf message is received by the CA).  Thus,   the CA will not have to revoke that certificate in the event that   something goes wrong with the proof-of-possession (but MAY do so   anyway, depending upon policy).5.3.5.  Key Update Request Content   For key update requests the CertReqMessages syntax is used.   Typically, SubjectPublicKeyInfo, KeyId, and Validity are the template   fields that may be supplied for each key to be updated.  This message   is intended to be used to request updates to existing (non-revoked   and non-expired) certificates (therefore, it is sometimes referred to   as a "Certificate Update" operation).  An update is a replacement   certificate containing either a new subject public key or the current   subject public key (although the latter practice may not be   appropriate for some environments).   SeeAppendix C and [CRMF] for CertReqMessages syntax.Adams, et al.               Standards Track                    [Page 40]

RFC 4210                          CMP                     September 20055.3.6.  Key Update Response Content   For key update responses, the CertRepMessage syntax is used.  The   response is identical to the initialization response.   SeeSection 5.3.4 for CertRepMessage syntax.5.3.7.  Key Recovery Request Content   For key recovery requests the syntax used is identical to the   initialization request CertReqMessages.  Typically,   SubjectPublicKeyInfo and KeyId are the template fields that may be   used to supply a signature public key for which a certificate is   required (seeAppendix D profiles for further information).   SeeAppendix C and [CRMF] for CertReqMessages syntax.  Note that if a   key history is required, the requester must supply a Protocol   Encryption Key control in the request message.5.3.8.  Key Recovery Response Content   For key recovery responses, the following syntax is used.  For some   status values (e.g., waiting) none of the optional fields will be   present.    KeyRecRepContent ::= SEQUENCE {        status          PKIStatusInfo,        newSigCert  [0] Certificate                   OPTIONAL,        caCerts     [1] SEQUENCE SIZE (1..MAX) OF                                     Certificate      OPTIONAL,        keyPairHist [2] SEQUENCE SIZE (1..MAX) OF                                     CertifiedKeyPair OPTIONAL    }5.3.9.  Revocation Request Content   When requesting revocation of a certificate (or several   certificates), the following data structure is used.  The name of the   requester is present in the PKIHeader structure.    RevReqContent ::= SEQUENCE OF RevDetails    RevDetails ::= SEQUENCE {        certDetails         CertTemplate,        crlEntryDetails     Extensions       OPTIONAL    }Adams, et al.

If   produced, this is sent to the requester of the revocation.  (A   separate revocation announcement message MAY be sent to the subject   of the certificate for which revocation was requested.)     RevRepContent ::= SEQUENCE {         status        SEQUENCE SIZE (1..MAX) OF PKIStatusInfo,         revCerts  [0] SEQUENCE SIZE (1..MAX) OF CertId OPTIONAL,         crls      [1] SEQUENCE SIZE (1..MAX) OF CertificateList                       OPTIONAL     }5.3.11.  Cross Certification Request Content   Cross certification requests use the same syntax (CertReqMessages) as   normal certification requests, with the restriction that the key pair   MUST have been generated by the requesting CA and the private key   MUST NOT be sent to the responding CA.  This request MAY also be used   by subordinate CAs to get their certificates signed by the parent CA.   SeeAppendix C and [CRMF] for CertReqMessages syntax.5.3.12.  Cross Certification Response Content   Cross certification responses use the same syntax (CertRepMessage) as   normal certification responses, with the restriction that no   encrypted private key can be sent.   SeeSection 5.3.4 for CertRepMessage syntax.5.3.13.  CA Key Update Announcement Content   When a CA updates its own key pair, the following data structure MAY   be used to announce this event.    CAKeyUpdAnnContent ::= SEQUENCE {       oldWithNew         Certificate,       newWithOld         Certificate,       newWithNew         Certificate    }Adams, et al.

Note that this message is intended to be used for those cases (if   any) where there is no pre-existing method for publication of   certificates; it is not intended to be used where, for example, X.500   is the method for publication of certificates.        CertAnnContent ::= Certificate5.3.15.  Revocation Announcement   When a CA has revoked, or is about to revoke, a particular   certificate, it MAY issue an announcement of this (possibly upcoming)   event.        RevAnnContent ::= SEQUENCE {            status              PKIStatus,            certId              CertId,            willBeRevokedAt     GeneralizedTime,            badSinceDate        GeneralizedTime,            crlDetails          Extensions  OPTIONAL        }   A CA MAY use such an announcement to warn (or notify) a subject that   its certificate is about to be (or has been) revoked.  This would   typically be used where the request for revocation did not come from   the subject concerned.   The willBeRevokedAt field contains the time at which a new entry will   be added to the relevant CRLs.5.3.16.  CRL Announcement   When a CA issues a new CRL (or set of CRLs) the following data   structure MAY be used to announce this event.        CRLAnnContent ::= SEQUENCE OF CertificateList5.3.17.  PKI Confirmation Content   This data structure is used in the protocol exchange as the final   PKIMessage.  Its content is the same in all cases -- actually there   is no content since the PKIHeader carries all the required   information.        PKIConfirmContent ::= NULLAdams, et al.

RFC 4210                          CMP                     September 2005   Use of this message for certificate confirmation is NOT RECOMMENDED;   certConf SHOULD be used instead.  Upon receiving a PKIConfirm for a   certificate response, the recipient MAY treat it as a certConf with   all certificates being accepted.5.3.18.  Certificate Confirmation Content   This data structure is used by the client to send a confirmation to   the CA/RA to accept or reject certificates.         CertConfirmContent ::= SEQUENCE OF CertStatus         CertStatus ::= SEQUENCE {            certHash    OCTET STRING,            certReqId   INTEGER,            statusInfo  PKIStatusInfo OPTIONAL         }   For any particular CertStatus, omission of the statusInfo field   indicates ACCEPTANCE of the specified certificate.  Alternatively,   explicit status details (with respect to acceptance or rejection) MAY   be provided in the statusInfo field, perhaps for auditing purposes at   the CA/RA.   Within CertConfirmContent, omission of a CertStatus structure   corresponding to a certificate supplied in the previous response   message indicates REJECTION of the certificate.  Thus, an empty   CertConfirmContent (a zero-length SEQUENCE) MAY be used to indicate   rejection of all supplied certificates.  SeeSection 5.2.8, item (2),   for a discussion of the certHash field with respect to proof-of-   possession.5.3.19.  PKI General Message Content     InfoTypeAndValue ::= SEQUENCE {         infoType               OBJECT IDENTIFIER,         infoValue              ANY DEFINED BY infoType  OPTIONAL     }     -- where {id-it} = {id-pkix 4} = {1 3 6 1 5 5 7 4}     GenMsgContent ::= SEQUENCE OF InfoTypeAndValue5.3.19.1.

If the client sends this request, the server MUST respond with a   PKIConfirm response, or another ErrorMsg if any part of the header is   not valid.  Both sides MUST treat this message as the end of the   transaction (if a transaction is in progress).   If protection is desired on the message, the client MUST protect it   using the same technique (i.e., signature or MAC) as the starting   message of the transaction.  The CA MUST always sign it with a   signature key.Adams, et al.               Standards Track                    [Page 47]

Polling Request and Response   This pair of messages is intended to handle scenarios in which the   client needs to poll the server in order to determine the status of   an outstanding ir, cr, or kur transaction (i.e., when the "waiting"   PKIStatus has been received).    PollReqContent ::= SEQUENCE OF SEQUENCE {        certReqId    INTEGER }    PollRepContent ::= SEQUENCE OF SEQUENCE {        certReqId    INTEGER,        checkAfter   INTEGER,  -- time in seconds        reason       PKIFreeText OPTIONAL }   The following clauses describe when polling messages are used, and   how they are used.  It is assumed that multiple certConf messages can   be sent during transactions.  There will be one sent in response to   each ip, cp, or kup that contains a CertStatus for an issued   certificate.   1.  In response to an ip, cp, or kup message, an EE will send a       certConf for all issued certificates and, following the ack, a       pollReq for all pending certificates.   2.  In response to a pollReq, a CA/RA will return an ip, cp, or kup       if one or more of the pending certificates is ready; otherwise,       it will return a pollRep.   3.  If the EE receives a pollRep, it will wait for at least as long       as the checkAfter value before sending another pollReq.   4.  If an ip, cp, or kup is received in response to a pollReq, then       it will be treated in the same way as the initial response.Adams, et al.

Note,   however, that the management functions described in this section do   not need to be accomplished using the PKI messages defined inSection5 if alternate means are suitable for a given environment (seeAppendix D for profiles of the PKIMessages that MUST be supported).6.1.  Root CA Initialization   [SeeSection 3.1.1.2 for this document's definition of "root CA".]   A newly created root CA must produce a "self-certificate", which is a   Certificate structure with the profile defined for the "newWithNew"   certificate issued following a root CA key update.   In order to make the CA's self certificate useful to end entities   that do not acquire the self certificate via "out-of-band" means, the   CA must also produce a fingerprint for its certificate.  End entities   that acquire this fingerprint securely via some "out-of-band" means   can then verify the CA's self-certificate and, hence, the other   attributes contained therein.   The data structure used to carry the fingerprint is the OOBCertHash.6.2.  Root CA Key Update   CA keys (as all other keys) have a finite lifetime and will have to   be updated on a periodic basis.  The certificates NewWithNew,   NewWithOld, and OldWithNew (seeSection 4.4.1) MAY be issued by the   CA to aid existing end entities who hold the current self-signed CA   certificate (OldWithOld) to transition securely to the new self-   signed CA certificate (NewWithNew), and to aid new end entities who   will hold NewWithNew to acquire OldWithOld securely for verification   of existing data.6.3.  Subordinate CA Initialization   [SeeSection 3.1.1.2 for this document's definition of "subordinate   CA".]Adams, et al.               Standards Track                    [Page 51]

RFC 4210                          CMP                     September 2005   From the perspective of PKI management protocols, the initialization   of a subordinate CA is the same as the initialization of an end   entity.  The only difference is that the subordinate CA must also   produce an initial revocation list.6.4.  CRL production   Before issuing any certificates, a newly established CA (which issues   CRLs) must produce "empty" versions of each CRL which are to be   periodically produced.6.5.  PKI Information Request   When a PKI entity (CA, RA, or EE) wishes to acquire information about   the current status of a CA, it MAY send that CA a request for such   information.   The CA MUST respond to the request by providing (at least) all of the   information requested by the requester.  If some of the information   cannot be provided, then an error must be conveyed to the requester.   If PKIMessages are used to request and supply this PKI information,   then the request MUST be the GenMsg message, the response MUST be the   GenRep message, and the error MUST be the Error message.  These   messages are protected using a MAC based on shared secret information   (i.e., PasswordBasedMAC) or using any other authenticated means (if   the end entity has an existing certificate).6.6.  Cross Certification   The requester CA is the CA that will become the subject of the   cross-certificate; the responder CA will become the issuer of the   cross-certificate.   The requester CA must be "up and running" before initiating the   cross-certification operation.6.6.1.  One-Way Request-Response Scheme:   The cross-certification scheme is essentially a one way operation;   that is, when successful, this operation results in the creation of   one new cross-certificate.  If the requirement is that cross-   certificates be created in "both directions", then each CA, in turn,   must initiate a cross-certification operation (or use another   scheme).Adams, et al.               Standards Track                    [Page 52]

RFC 4210                          CMP                     September 2005   This scheme is suitable where the two CAs in question can already   verify each other's signatures (they have some common points of   trust) or where there is an out-of-band verification of the origin of   the certification request.   Detailed Description:   Cross certification is initiated at one CA known as the responder.   The CA administrator for the responder identifies the CA it wants to   cross certify and the responder CA equipment generates an   authorization code.  The responder CA administrator passes this   authorization code by out-of-band means to the requester CA   administrator.  The requester CA administrator enters the   authorization code at the requester CA in order to initiate the on-   line exchange.   The authorization code is used for authentication and integrity   purposes.  This is done by generating a symmetric key based on the   authorization code and using the symmetric key for generating Message   Authentication Codes (MACs) on all messages exchanged.   (Authentication may alternatively be done using signatures instead of   MACs, if the CAs are able to retrieve and validate the required   public keys by some means, such as an out-of-band hash comparison.)   The requester CA initiates the exchange by generating a cross-   certification request (ccr) with a fresh random number (requester   random number).  The requester CA then sends the ccr message to the   responder CA.  The fields in this message are protected from   modification with a MAC based on the authorization code.   Upon receipt of the ccr message, the responder CA validates the   message and the MAC, saves the requester random number, and generates   its own random number (responder random number).  It then generates   (and archives, if desired) a new requester certificate that contains   the requester CA public key and is signed with the responder CA   signature private key.  The responder CA responds with the cross   certification response (ccp) message.  The fields in this message are   protected from modification with a MAC based on the authorization   code.   Upon receipt of the ccp message, the requester CA validates the   message (including the received random numbers) and the MAC.  The   requester CA responds with the certConf message.  The fields in this   message are protected from modification with a MAC based on the   authorization code.  The requester CA MAY write the requester   certificate to the Repository as an aid to later certificate path   construction.Adams, et al.               Standards Track                    [Page 53]

RFC 4210                          CMP                     September 2005   Upon receipt of the certConf message, the responder CA validates the   message and the MAC, and sends back an acknowledgement using the   PKIConfirm message.  It MAY also publish the requester certificate as   an aid to later path construction.   Notes:   1.  The ccr message must contain a "complete" certification request;       that is, all fields except the serial number (including, e.g., a       BasicConstraints extension) must be specified by the requester       CA.   2.  The ccp message SHOULD contain the verification certificate of       the responder CA; if present, the requester CA must then verify       this certificate (for example, via the "out-of-band" mechanism).   (A simpler, non-interactive model of cross-certification may also be   envisioned, in which the issuing CA acquires the subject CA's public   key from some repository, verifies it via some out-of-band mechanism,   and creates and publishes the cross-certificate without the subject   CA's explicit involvement.  This model may be perfectly legitimate   for many environments, but since it does not require any protocol   message exchanges, its detailed description is outside the scope of   this specification.)6.7.  End Entity Initialization   As with CAs, end entities must be initialized.  Initialization of end   entities requires at least two steps:   o  acquisition of PKI information   o  out-of-band verification of one root-CA public key   (other possible steps include the retrieval of trust condition   information and/or out-of-band verification of other CA public keys).6.7.1.  Acquisition of PKI Information   The information REQUIRED is:   o  the current root-CA public key   o  (if the certifying CA is not a root-CA) the certification path      from the root CA to the certifying CA together with appropriate      revocation listsAdams, et al.               Standards Track                    [Page 54]

RFC 4210                          CMP                     September 2005   o  the algorithms and algorithm parameters that the certifying CA      supports for each relevant usage   Additional information could be required (e.g., supported extensions   or CA policy information) in order to produce a certification request   that will be successful.  However, for simplicity we do not mandate   that the end entity acquires this information via the PKI messages.   The end result is simply that some certification requests may fail   (e.g., if the end entity wants to generate its own encryption key,   but the CA doesn't allow that).   The required information MAY be acquired as described inSection 6.5.6.7.2.  Out-of-Band Verification of Root-CA Key   An end entity must securely possess the public key of its root CA.   One method to achieve this is to provide the end entity with the CA's   self-certificate fingerprint via some secure "out-of-band" means.   The end entity can then securely use the CA's self-certificate.   SeeSection 6.1 for further details.6.8.  Certificate Request   An initialized end entity MAY request an additional certificate at   any time (for any purpose).  This request will be made using the   certification request (cr) message.  If the end entity already   possesses a signing key pair (with a corresponding verification   certificate), then this cr message will typically be protected by the   entity's digital signature.  The CA returns the new certificate (if   the request is successful) in a CertRepMessage.6.9.  Key Update   When a key pair is due to expire, the relevant end entity MAY request   a key update; that is, it MAY request that the CA issue a new   certificate for a new key pair (or, in certain circumstances, a new   certificate for the same key pair).  The request is made using a key   update request (kur) message (referred to, in some environments, as a   "Certificate Update" operation).  If the end entity already possesses   a signing key pair (with a corresponding verification certificate),   then this message will typically be protected by the entity's digital   signature.  The CA returns the new certificate (if the request is   successful) in a key update response (kup) message, which is   syntactically identical to a CertRepMessage.Adams, et al.

Version Negotiation   This section defines the version negotiation used to support older   protocols between client and servers.   If a client knows the protocol version(s) supported by the server   (e.g., from a previous PKIMessage exchange or via some out-of-band   means), then it MUST send a PKIMessage with the highest version   supported by both it and the server.  If a client does not know what   version(s) the server supports, then it MUST send a PKIMessage using   the highest version it supports.   If a server receives a message with a version that it supports, then   the version of the response message MUST be the same as the received   version.  If a server receives a message with a version higher or   lower than it supports, then it MUST send back an ErrorMsg with the   unsupportedVersion bit set (in the failureInfo field of the   pKIStatusInfo).  If the received version is higher than the highest   supported version, then the version in the error message MUST be the   highest version the server supports; if the received version is lower   than the lowest supported version then the version in the error   message MUST be the lowest version the server supports.   If a client gets back an ErrorMsgContent with the unsupportedVersion   bit set and a version it supports, then it MAY retry the request with   that version.7.1.  SupportingRFC 2510 ImplementationsRFC 2510 did not specify the behaviour of implementations receiving   versions they did not understand since there was only one version in   existence.  With the introduction of the present revision of the   specification, the following versioning behaviour is recommended.7.1.1.  Clients Talking toRFC 2510 Servers   If, after sending a cmp2000 message, a client receives an   ErrorMsgContent with a version of cmp1999, then it MUST abort the   current transaction.  It MAY subsequently retry the transaction using   version cmp1999 messages.   If a client receives a non-error PKIMessage with a version of   cmp1999, then it MAY decide to continue the transaction (if the   transaction hasn't finished) usingRFC 2510 semantics.  If it does   not choose to do so and the transaction is not finished, then it MUST   abort the transaction and send an ErrorMsgContent with a version of   cmp1999.Adams, et al.               Standards Track                    [Page 56]

RFC 4210                          CMP                     September 20057.1.2.  Servers Receiving Version cmp1999 PKIMessages   If a server receives a version cmp1999 message it MAY revert toRFC2510 behaviour and respond with version cmp1999 messages.  If it does   not choose to do so, then it MUST send back an ErrorMsgContent as   described above inSection 7.8.  Security Considerations8.1.  Proof-Of-Possession with a Decryption Key   Some cryptographic considerations are worth explicitly spelling out.   In the protocols specified above, when an end entity is required to   prove possession of a decryption key, it is effectively challenged to   decrypt something (its own certificate).  This scheme (and many   others!) could be vulnerable to an attack if the possessor of the   decryption key in question could be fooled into decrypting an   arbitrary challenge and returning the cleartext to an attacker.   Although in this specification a number of other failures in security   are required in order for this attack to succeed, it is conceivable   that some future services (e.g., notary, trusted time) could   potentially be vulnerable to such attacks.  For this reason, we re-   iterate the general rule that implementations should be very careful   about decrypting arbitrary "ciphertext" and revealing recovered   "plaintext" since such a practice can lead to serious security   vulnerabilities.8.2.  Proof-Of-Possession by Exposing the Private Key   Note also that exposing a private key to the CA/RA as a proof-of-   possession technique can carry some security risks (depending upon   whether or not the CA/RA can be trusted to handle such material   appropriately).  Implementers are advised to:      Exercise caution in selecting and using this particular POP      mechanism      When appropriate, have the user of the application explicitly      state that they are willing to trust the CA/RA to have a copy of      their private key before proceeding to reveal the private key.8.3.  Attack Against Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange   A small subgroup attack during a Diffie-Hellman key exchange may be   carried out as follows.  A malicious end entity may deliberately   choose D-H parameters that enable him/her to derive (a significant   number of bits of) the D-H private key of the CA during a key   archival or key recovery operation.  Armed with this knowledge, theAdams, et al.               Standards Track                    [Page 57]

RFC 4210                          CMP                     September 2005   EE would then be able to retrieve the decryption private key of   another unsuspecting end entity, EE2, during EE2's legitimate key   archival or key recovery operation with that CA.  In order to avoid   the possibility of such an attack, two courses of action are   available.  (1) The CA may generate a fresh D-H key pair to be used   as a protocol encryption key pair for each EE with which it   interacts.  (2) The CA may enter into a key validation protocol (not   specified in this document) with each requesting end entity to ensure   that the EE's protocol encryption key pair will not facilitate this   attack.  Option (1) is clearly simpler (requiring no extra protocol   exchanges from either party) and is therefore RECOMMENDED.9.  IANA Considerations   The PKI General Message types are identified by object identifiers   (OIDs).  The OIDs for the PKI General Message types defined in this   document were assigned from an arc delegated by the IANA to the PKIX   Working Group.   The cryptographic algorithms referred to in this document are   identified by object identifiers (OIDs).  The OIDs for cryptographic   algorithms were assigned from several arcs owned by various   organizations, including RSA Security, Entrust Technologies, IANA and   IETF.   Should additional encryption algorithms be introduced, the advocates   for such algorithms are expected to assign the necessary OIDs from   their own arcs.   No further action by the IANA is necessary for this document or any   anticipated updates.Normative References   [X509]       International Organization for Standardization and                International Telecommunications Union, "Information                technology - Open Systems Interconnection - The                Directory:  Public-key and attribute certificate                frameworks", ISO Standard 9594-8:2001, ITU-T                Recommendation X.509, March 2000.

RFC 4210                          CMP                     September 2005Appendix A.  Reasons for the Presence of RAs   The reasons that justify the presence of an RA can be split into   those that are due to technical factors and those which are   organizational in nature.  Technical reasons include the following.   o  If hardware tokens are in use, then not all end entities will have      the equipment needed to initialize these; the RA equipment can      include the necessary functionality (this may also be a matter of      policy).   o  Some end entities may not have the capability to publish      certificates; again, the RA may be suitably placed for this.   o  The RA will be able to issue signed revocation requests on behalf      of end entities associated with it, whereas the end entity may not      be able to do this (if the key pair is completely lost).   Some of the organizational reasons that argue for the presence of an   RA are the following.   o  It may be more cost effective to concentrate functionality in the      RA equipment than to supply functionality to all end entities      (especially if special token initialization equipment is to be      used).   o  Establishing RAs within an organization can reduce the number of      CAs required, which is sometimes desirable.   o  RAs may be better placed to identify people with their      "electronic" names, especially if the CA is physically remote from      the end entity.   o  For many applications, there will already be in place some      administrative structure so that candidates for the role of RA are      easy to find (which may not be true of the CA).Appendix B.  The Use of Revocation Passphrase   A revocation request must incorporate suitable security mechanisms,   including proper authentication, in order to reduce the probability   of successful denial-of-service attacks.  A digital signature on the   request -- MANDATORY to support within this specification if   revocation requests are supported -- can provide the authentication   required, but there are circumstances under which an alternative   mechanism may be desirable (e.g., when the private key is no longer   accessible and the entity wishes to request a revocation prior to   re-certification of another key pair).  In order to accommodate suchAdams, et al.               Standards Track                    [Page 61]

RFC 4210                          CMP                     September 2005   circumstances, a PasswordBasedMAC on the request is also MANDATORY to   support within this specification (subject to local security policy   for a given environment) if revocation requests are supported and if   shared secret information can be established between the requester   and the responder prior to the need for revocation.   A mechanism that has seen use in some environments is "revocation   passphrase", in which a value of sufficient entropy (i.e., a   relatively long passphrase rather than a short password) is shared   between (only) the entity and the CA/RA at some point prior to   revocation; this value is later used to authenticate the revocation   request.   In this specification, the following technique to establish shared   secret information (i.e., a revocation passphrase) is OPTIONAL to   support.  Its precise use in CMP messages is as follows.   o  The OID and value specified inSection 5.3.19.9 MAY be sent in a      GenMsg message at any time, or MAY be sent in the generalInfo      field of the PKIHeader of any PKIMessage at any time.  (In      particular, the EncryptedValue may be sent in the header of the      certConf message that confirms acceptance of certificates      requested in an initialization request or certificate request      message.)  This conveys a revocation passphrase chosen by the      entity (i.e., the decrypted bytes of the encValue field) to the      relevant CA/RA; furthermore, the transfer is accomplished with      appropriate confidentiality characteristics (because the      passphrase is encrypted under the CA/RA's protocolEncryptionKey).   o  If a CA/RA receives the revocation passphrase (OID and value      specified inSection 5.3.19.9) in a GenMsg, it MUST construct and      send a GenRep message that includes the OID (with absent value)      specified inSection 5.3.19.9. If the CA/RA receives the      revocation passphrase in the generalInfo field of a PKIHeader of      any PKIMessage, it MUST include the OID (with absent value) in the      generalInfo field of the PKIHeader of the corresponding response      PKIMessage.  If the CA/RA is unable to return the appropriate      response message for any reason, it MUST send an error message      with a status of "rejection" and, optionally, a failInfo reason      set.   o  The valueHint field of EncryptedValue MAY contain a key identifier      (chosen by the entity, along with the passphrase itself) to assist      in later retrieval of the correct passphrase (e.g., when the      revocation request is constructed by the entity and received by      the CA/RA).Adams, et al.

If appropriate, the      senderKID field in the PKIHeader MAY contain the value previously      transmitted in valueHint.   Using the technique specified above, the revocation passphrase may be   initially established and updated at any time without requiring extra   messages or out-of-band exchanges.  For example, the revocation   request message itself (protected and authenticated through a MAC   that uses the revocation passphrase as a key) may contain, in the   PKIHeader, a new revocation passphrase to be used for authenticating   future revocation requests for any of the entity's other   certificates.  In some environments this may be preferable to   mechanisms that reveal the passphrase in the revocation request   message, since this can allow a denial-of-service attack in which the   revealed passphrase is used by an unauthorized third party to   authenticate revocation requests on the entity's other certificates.   However, because the passphrase is not revealed in the request   message, there is no requirement that the passphrase must always be   updated when a revocation request is made (that is, the same   passphrase MAY be used by an entity to authenticate revocation   requests for different certificates at different times).   Furthermore, the above technique can provide strong cryptographic   protection over the entire revocation request message even when a   digital signature is not used.  Techniques that do authentication of   the revocation request by simply revealing the revocation passphrase   typically do not provide cryptographic protection over the fields of   the request message (so that a request for revocation of one   certificate may be modified by an unauthorized third party to a   request for revocation of another certificate for that entity).Appendix C.  Request Message Behavioral Clarifications   In the case of updates to [CRMF], which cause interpretation or   interoperability issues, [CRMF] SHALL be the normative document.

PKI Management Message Profiles (REQUIRED).   This appendix contains detailed profiles for those PKIMessages that   MUST be supported by conforming implementations (seeSection 6).   Profiles for the PKIMessages used in the following PKI management   operations are provided:   o  initial registration/certification   o  basic authenticated scheme   o  certificate request   o  key updateD.1.  General Rules for Interpretation of These Profiles.   1.  Where OPTIONAL or DEFAULT fields are not mentioned in individual       profiles, they SHOULD be absent from the relevant message (i.e.,       a receiver can validly reject a message containing such fields as       being syntactically incorrect).  Mandatory fields are not       mentioned if they have an obvious value (e.g., in this version of       the specification, pvno is always 2).   2.  Where structures occur in more than one message, they are       separately profiled as appropriate.   3.  The algorithmIdentifiers from PKIMessage structures are profiled       separately.   4.  A "special" X.500 DN is called the "NULL-DN"; this means a DN       containing a zero-length SEQUENCE OF RelativeDistinguishedNames       (its DER encoding is then '3000'H).   5.  Where a GeneralName is required for a field, but no suitable       value is available (e.g., an end entity produces a request before       knowing its name), then the GeneralName is to be an X.500 NULL-DN       (i.e., the Name field of the CHOICE is to contain a NULL-DN).       This special value can be called a "NULL-GeneralName".   6.  Where a profile omits to specify the value for a GeneralName,       then the NULL-GeneralName value is to be present in the relevant       PKIMessage field.  This occurs with the sender field of the       PKIHeader for some messages.Adams, et al.               Standards Track                    [Page 65]

RFC 4210                          CMP                     September 2005   7.  Where any ambiguity arises due to naming of fields, the profile       names these using a "dot" notation (e.g., "certTemplate.subject"       means the subject field within a field called certTemplate).   8.  Where a "SEQUENCE OF types" is part of a message, a zero-based       array notation is used to describe fields within the SEQUENCE OF       (e.g., crm[0].certReq.certTemplate.subject refers to a subfield       of the first CertReqMsg contained in a request message).   9.  All PKI message exchanges inAppendix D.4 to D.6 require a       certConf message to be sent by the initiating entity and a       PKIConfirm to be sent by the responding entity.  The PKIConfirm       is not included in some of the profiles given since its body is       NULL and its header contents are clear from the context.  Any       authenticated means can be used for the protectionAlg (e.g.,       password-based MAC, if shared secret information is known, or       signature).D.2.

Not every CA/RA will do Proof-of-Possession (of signing key,   decryption key, or key agreement key) in the PKIX-CMP in-band   certification request protocol (how POP is done MAY ultimately be a   policy issue that is made explicit for any given CA in its publicized   Policy OID and Certification Practice Statement).  However, this   specification MANDATES that CA/RA entities MUST do POP (by some   means) as part of the certification process.  All end entities MUST   be prepared to provide POP (i.e., these components of the PKIX-CMP   protocol MUST be supported).D.4.  Initial Registration/Certification (Basic Authenticated Scheme)   An (uninitialized) end entity requests a (first) certificate from a   CA.  When the CA responds with a message containing a certificate,   the end entity replies with a certificate confirmation.  The CA sends   a PKIConfirm back, closing the transaction.  All messages are   authenticated.   This scheme allows the end entity to request certification of a   locally-generated public key (typically a signature key).  The end   entity MAY also choose to request the centralized generation and   certification of another key pair (typically an encryption key pair).Adams, et al.

For simplicity, we also mandate that this message MUST be the final   one (i.e., no use of "waiting" status value).   The end entity has an out-of-band interaction with the CA/RA.

In-Band Initialization Using External Identity Certificate   An (uninitialized) end entity wishes to initialize into the PKI with   a CA, CA-1.  It uses, for authentication purposes, a pre-existing   identity certificate issued by another (external) CA, CA-X.  A trust   relationship must already have been established between CA-1 and CA-X   so that CA-1 can validate the EE identity certificate signed by CA-X.   Furthermore, some mechanism must already have been established within   the Personal Security Environment (PSE) of the EE that would allow it   to authenticate and verify PKIMessages signed by CA-1 (as one   example, the PSE may contain a certificate issued for the public key   of CA-1, signed by another CA that the EE trusts on the basis of   out-of-band authentication techniques).   The EE sends an initialization request to start the transaction.   When CA-1 responds with a message containing the new certificate, the   end entity replies with a certificate confirmation.  CA-1 replies   with a PKIConfirm to close the transaction.  All messages are signed   (the EE messages are signed using the private key that corresponds to   the public key in its external identity certificate; the CA-1   messages are signed using the private key that corresponds to the   public key in a   certificate that can be chained to a trust anchor in the EE's PSE).
