RFC 7894 EST Alternative Challenge Password Attributes June 20161. Introduction "PKCS #9: Selected Object Classes and Attribute Types Version 2.0" [RFC2985] defined a challengePassword attribute that has been overloaded by modern protocol usage with the appropriate interpretation being provided by context rather than OID definition. PKCS #9 defines the challengePassword attribute as "a password by which an entity may request certificate revocation". The parsing and embedding of this attribute within Certificate Signing Requests is well supported by common PKI toolsets, but many workflows leverage this supported field as a one-time password for authentication. For example, this is codified in many Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP) implementations as indicated by [SCEP]. Continuing this trend, Enrollment over Secure Transport (EST) [RFC7030] defines an additional semantic for the challengePassword attribute inSection 3.5, in order to provide a linking of the Certificate Signing Request (CSR) to the secure transport. Where the context of the protocol operation fully defined the proper semantic, and when only one use was required at a time, the overloading of this field did not cause difficulties. Implementation experience with EST has shown this to be a limitation though. There are plausible use cases where it is valuable to use either of the existing methods separately or in concert. For example, an EST server might require the client to authenticate itself using the existing client X.509 certificate as well as the user's username and password, and to include a one-time password within the CSR, all while maintaining identity linking to bind the CSR to the secure transport. The overloading of a single attribute type should not be the limiting factor for administrators attempting to meet their security requirements. This document defines the otpChallenge attribute for use when a one- time password (OTP) value within the CSR is a requirement. The revocationChallenge attribute is defined to allow disambiguated usage of the original challenge password attribute semantics for certificate revocation. The estIdentityLinking attribute is defined to reference existing EST challenge password semantics with no potential for confusion with legacy challenge password practices. The attributes defined in this specification supplement existing EST mechanisms and are not intended to displace current usage of any existing EST authentication mechanisms. Conveying the authentication value itself as an attribute may be preferable to using an HTTP or Transport Layer Security (TLS) password or other TLS authentication mechanism in environments where the certificate request processing component is removed from the HTTP/TLS termination point, for example, when a web application firewall is used.Pritikin & Wallace Standards Track [Page 3]
RFC 7894 EST Alternative Challenge Password Attributes June 20162. Terminology The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].3. Alternative Challenge Password Attributes The following sections describe three alternative challenge password attributes for use with EST [RFC7030].Appendix A provides an ASN.1 module containing the new definitions. Each attribute described below is defined as a DirectoryString with a maximum length of 255, which features several possible encoding options. Attribute values generated in accordance this document SHOULD use the PrintableString encoding whenever possible. If internationalization issues make this impossible, the UTF8String alternative SHOULD be used. Attribute processing systems MUST be able to recognize and process the PrintableString and UTF8String string types in DirectoryString values. Support for other string types is OPTIONAL.3.1. OTP Challenge Attribute The otpChallenge attribute is defined as a DirectoryString with a maximum length of 255. This is consistent with the challengePassword attribute as originally defined in PKCS #9 [RFC2985]. The otpChallenge attribute is identified by the id-aa-otpChallenge object identifier. This facilitates reuse of the existing challengePassword code by associating the new object identifiers with the existing parsing and generation code. This attribute provides a means of conveying a one-time password value as part of a CSR request. Generation, verification, storage, etc., of the value is not addressed by this specification. [RFC4226] and [RFC6238] define one- time password mechanisms that MAY be used with this attribute. ub-aa-otpChallenge INTEGER ::= 255 id-aa-otpChallenge OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-smime 56 } otpChallenge ATTRIBUTE ::= { WITH SYNTAX DirectoryString {ub-aa-otpChallenge} EQUALITY MATCHING RULE caseExactMatch SINGLE VALUE TRUE ID id-aa-otpChallenge }Pritikin & Wallace Standards Track [Page 4]
RFC 7894 EST Alternative Challenge Password Attributes June 20163.2. Revocation Challenge Attribute The original PKCS #9 challengePassword field has been overloaded, and the common use is unclear. The revocationChallenge attribute defined here provides an unambiguous method of indicating the original PKCS #9 intent for this attribute type. The revocationChallenge attribute is identified by the id-aa-revocationChallenge object identifier. [RFC2985] discusses the original semantics for the PKCS #9 challenge password attribute. ub-aa-revocationChallenge INTEGER ::= 255 id-aa-revocationChallenge OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-smime 57 } revocationChallenge ATTRIBUTE ::= { WITH SYNTAX DirectoryString {ub-aa-revocationChallenge} EQUALITY MATCHING RULE caseExactMatch SINGLE VALUE TRUE ID id-aa-revocationChallenge }3.3. EST Identity Linking Attribute EST defines a mechanism for associating identity information from an authenticated TLS session with proof-of-possession information in a certificate request. The mechanism was labeled using the pkcs-9-at- challengePassword identifier from [RFC2985]. To avoid any confusion with the semantics described in [RFC2985] or any other specifications that similarly defined use of the PKCS #9 challenge password attribute for their own purposes, a new object identifier is defined here and associated with the semantics described inSection 3.5 of [RFC7030]. ub-aa-est-identity-linking INTEGER ::= 255 id-aa-estIdentityLinking OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-smime 58 } estIdentityLinking ATTRIBUTE ::= { WITH SYNTAX DirectoryString {ub-aa-est-identity-linking} EQUALITY MATCHING RULE caseExactMatch SINGLE VALUE TRUE ID id-aa-estIdentityLinking }Pritikin & Wallace Standards Track [Page 5]
RFC 7894 EST Alternative Challenge Password Attributes June 20164. Indicating Support for the Alternative Challenge Attributes The EST server MUST indicate these attributes, as the particular use case requires, in every CSR Attributes Response. An EST server MAY send both the estIdentityLinking attribute and the challengePassword attribute [RFC7030] in a CSR Attributes Response to ensure support for legacy clients. The client MUST include every indicated attribute for which it has values in the subsequent CSR. If a client sees an estIdentityLinking attribute in a CSR Attributes Response, it SHOULD prefer that and not include a challengePassword attribute [RFC7030] in the resulting CSR. EST clients that include an unsolicited estIdentityLinking attribute MAY also include the challengePassword attribute [RFC7030] to ensure support for legacy servers. EST servers MUST evaluate each challenge attribute independently. All challenge attributes included by an EST client MUST be successfully processed by an EST server for a request to be considered valid. The EST server MAY ignore challenge attributes according to local policy, for example, if the EST client is an authenticated Registration Authority, the EST server may ignore the estIdentityLinking attribute within a CSR (seeSection 3.7 of [RFC7030]). The EST server MAY refuse enrollment requests that are not encoded according to the policy of the Certification Authority (CA).5. Security Considerations In addition to the security considerations expressed in the EST specification [RFC7030], additional security considerations may be associated with the mechanism used to generate and verify the otpChallenge value. Where a one-time password is used, the security considerations expressed in "HOTP: An HMAC-Based One-Time Password Algorithm" [RFC4226] or "TOTP: Time-Based One-Time Password Algorithm" [RFC6238] may be relevant. Similarly, the security considerations from [RFC2985] that apply to the challenge attribute are relevant as well.Pritikin & Wallace Standards Track [Page 6]
