Clarification and enhancement of RFC7030 CSR Attributes definition

Abstract

The Enrollment over Secure Transport (EST, RFC7030) is ambiguous in its specification of the CSR Attributes Response. This has resulted in implementation challenges and implementor confusion.

This document updates RFC7030 (EST) and clarifies how the CSR Attributes Response can be used by an EST server to specify both CSR attribute OIDs and also CSR attribute values, in particular X.509 extension values, that the server expects the client to include in subsequent CSR request.

Moreover, it provides new convenient and straightforward approach: using a template for CSR contents that may be partially filled in by the server. This also allows specifying a subject Distinguished Name (DN).

Status of This Memo

This Internet-Draft is submitted in full conformance with the provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79.

Table of Contents

1. Introduction

Enrollment over Secure Transport [RFC7030] (EST) has been used in a wide variety of applications. In particular, [RFC8994] and [RFC8995] describe a way to use it in order to build out an autonomic control plane (ACP) [RFC8368].

The ACP requires that each node be given a very specific subjectAltName. In the ACP specification, the solution was for the EST server to use section 2.6 of [RFC7030] to convey to the EST client the actual subjectAltName that will end up in its certificate.

As a result of some implementation challenges, it came to light that this particular way of using the CSR attributes was not universally agreed upon, and it was suggested that it went contrary to section 2.6.

Section 2.6 says that the CSR attributes "can provide additional descriptive information that the EST server cannot access itself". This is extended to describe how the EST server can provide values that it demands to use.

After significant discussion, it has been determined that Section 4.5 of [RFC7030] specification is sufficiently difficult to read and ambiguous to interpret that clarification is needed.

This document motivates the different use cases, and provides additional worked out examples.

Also, section 4.5.2 is extended to clarify the use of the existing ASN.1 syntax [X.680][X.690]. This covers all uses and is fully backward compatible with existing use.

2. Terminology

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here.

3. CSR Attributes Handling

3.1. Extensions to RFC 7030 section 2.6.

Replace the second paragraph with the following text:

   These attributes can provide additional descriptive information that
   the EST server cannot access itself, such as the Media Access Control
   (MAC) address of an interface of the EST client. The EST server can
   also provide concrete values that it tells the client to include in
   the CSR, such as a specific X.509 Subject Alternative Name extension.
   Moreover, these attributes can indicate the type of the included
   public key or which crypto algorithms to use for the self-signature,
   such as a specific elliptic curve or a specific hash function that
   the client is expected to use when generating the CSR.

3.2. Extensions to RFC 7030 section 4.5.2.

The ASN.1 syntax for CSR Attributes as defined in EST section 4.5.2 is as follows:

   CsrAttrs ::= SEQUENCE SIZE (0..MAX) OF AttrOrOID

   AttrOrOID ::= CHOICE (oid OBJECT IDENTIFIER, attribute Attribute }

   Attribute { ATTRIBUTE:IOSet } ::= SEQUENCE {
        type   ATTRIBUTE.&id({IOSet}),
        values SET SIZE(1..MAX) OF ATTRIBUTE.&Type({IOSet}{@type}) }

This remains unchanged, such that bits-on-the-wire compatibility is maintained.

Key parts that were unclear were which OID to use in the 'type' field and that the 'values' field can contain an entire sequence of X.509 extensions.

The OID to use for such attributes in the 'type' field MUST be extensionRequest, which has the numerical value 1.2.840.113549.1.9.14. There MUST be only one such Attribute.

The 'values' field of this attribute MUST contain a set with exactly one element, and this element MUST be of type Extensions, as per Section 4.1 of [RFC5280]:

   Extensions  ::=  SEQUENCE SIZE (1..MAX) OF Extension

   Extension  ::=  SEQUENCE  {
        extnID      OBJECT IDENTIFIER,
        critical    BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE,
        extnValue   OCTET STRING
                    -- contains the DER encoding of an ASN.1 value
                    -- corresponding to the extension type identified
                    -- by extnID
        }

An Extension comprises the OID of the specific X.509 extension (extnID), optionally the 'critical' bit, and the extension value (extnValue).

An Extensions structure, which is a sequence of elements of type Extension, MUST NOT include more than one element with a particiular extnID.

With this understanding, the needs of [RFC8994] and [RFC8995] are satisfied with no change to the bits on the wire.

3.3. Use of CSR templates

[RFC8295], Appendix B describes a mechanism that avoids the piecemeal inclusion of attributes that [RFC7030] documented. Instead, an entire CSR object is returned with various fields filled out, and other fields waiting to be filled in, in a pKCS7PDU attribute. In that approach, the pKCS7PDU attribute includes a Full PKI Data content type [RFC5272] and that in turn includes a CSR or CRMF formatted request; see [RFC6268] Sections 5 and 9, respectively.

The drawback to that approach, particularly for the CSR, is that some useless fields have to be included; specifically, the signature field on the CSR is faked with an empty bit string. We avoid this drawback as follows.

This specification defines the Certificate Request Information Template attribute for CsrAttrs, see Section 3.2, that is a partially filled in PKCS#10 CSR minus the signature wrapper as follows:

  aa-certificationRequestInfoTemplate ATTRIBUTE ::=
    { TYPE CertificationRequestInfoTemplate IDENTIFIED BY
      id-aa-certificationRequestInfoTemplate }

  id-aa-certificationRequestInfoTemplate OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::=
    { iso(1) member-body(2) us(840) rsadsi(113549) pkcs(1) pkcs9(9)
      smime(16) aa(2) csrinfo(TBD2) }

  CertificateRequestInfoTemplate ::= CertificationRequestInfo

The CertificationRequestInfoTemplate uses the CertificationRequestInfo from [RFC5912], Section 5 and is included here for convenience:

  CertificationRequestInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
    version       INTEGER { v1(0) } (v1,...),
    subject       Name,
    subjectPKInfo SubjectPublicKeyInfo{{ PKInfoAlgorithms }},
    attributes    [0] Attributes{{ CRIAttributes }}
  }

Note: This method has also been defined in CMP Updates [RFC9480] and the Lightweight CMP profile [RFC9483], Section 4.3.3, using a CSR template as defined for CRMF [RFC4211].

The version code is always v1 (0). As shown in the example below, any empty sub-field (RDN) values in the subject DN, and empty values in any included X509v3 extensions are expected to be filled in by the client.

The SubjectPublicKeyInfo field MUST be present, but it MUST have an empty bit string for the key, as the server does not know what key will be used. The server MAY specify (in the OID), the type of the key to use, but otherwise the OID type MUST be NULL.

Each of the attributes has a single attribute value instance in the values set. Even though the syntax is defined as a set, there MUST be exactly one instance of AttributeValue present.

Suppose the server requires that the CSR will contain:

  • the subject field with a common name to be filled in by the EE and two organizational unit fields with given values "myDept" and "myGroup",

  • the publicKey field contains an Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) key on curve secp256r1,

  • the subjectAltName extension with DNS name "www.myServer.com" and an IP address to be filled in,

  • the keyUsage extension marked critical with the value digitalSignature and keyAgreement, and

  • the extKeyUsage extension with values to be filled in by the EE.

Then the CertificationRequestInfo structure will be encoded as follows:

 SEQUENCE {
   INTEGER 0
   SEQUENCE {
     SET {
       SEQUENCE {
         OBJECT IDENTIFIER commonName (2 5 4 3)
         UTF8String ""
         }
       }
     SET {
       SEQUENCE {
         OBJECT IDENTIFIER organizationalUnitName (2 5 4 11)
        UTF8String "myDept"
        }
      }
     SET {
       SEQUENCE {
         OBJECT IDENTIFIER organizationalUnitName (2 5 4 11)
         UTF8String "myGroup"
         }
       }
     }
  SEQUENCE {
    SEQUENCE {
      OBJECT IDENTIFIER ecPublicKey (1 2 840 10045 2 1)
      OBJECT IDENTIFIER secp256r1 (1 2 840 10045 3 1 7)
      }
    BIT STRING ""
    }
  [0] {
    SEQUENCE {
      OBJECT IDENTIFIER extensionRequest (1 2 840 113549 1 9 14)
      SET {
        SEQUENCE {
          SEQUENCE {
            OBJECT IDENTIFIER subjectAltName (2 5 29 17)
            OCTET STRING, encapsulates {
              SEQUENCE {
                [2] "www.myServer.com"
                [7] ""
                }
              }
            }
          SEQUENCE {
            OBJECT IDENTIFIER keyUsage (2 5 29 15)
            BOOLEAN TRUE
            OCTET STRING, encapsulates {
              BIT STRING 3 unused bits
                "10001"B
              }
            }
          SEQUENCE {
            OBJECT IDENTIFIER extKeyUsage (2 5 29 37)
            OCTET STRING, encapsulates {
              SEQUENCE {}
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }

4. Co-existence with existing implementations

Legacy servers MAY continue to use the [RFC7030] style piecemeal attribute/value pairs, and MAY also include the template style described in {#csrtemplate}. Clients which understand both MUST use the template only, and ignore all other CSRattrs elements. Older clients will ignore the new CertificateRequestInfoTemplate element.

5. Examples

Each example has a high-level (English) explanation of what is expected. Some mapping back to the Attribute and Extension definitions above are included. The base64 DER encoding is then shown. The output of "dumpasn1" is then provided to detail what the contents are.

5.1. RFC8994/ACP subjectAltName with specific otherName

A single subjectAltName extension is specified in a single Extension attribute. This is what might be created by an [RFC8995] Registrar that is asking for [RFC8994] AcpNodeName format otherNames.

5.1.1. Base64 encoded example

The Base64:

5.1.2. ASN.1 DUMP output

There is a single subjectAltName Extension with an Attribute with Extension type.

6. Security Considerations

The security considerations from EST [RFC7030] section 6 are unchanged.

6.1. Identity and Privacy Considerations

An EST server may use this mechanism to instruct the EST client about the identities it should include in the CSR it sends as part of enrollment. The client may only be aware of its IDevID Subject, which includes a manufacturer serial number. The EST server can use this mechanism to tell the client to include a specific fully qualified domain name in the CSR in order to complete domain ownership proofs required by the CA. Additionally, the EST server may deem the manufacturer serial number in an IDevID as personally identifiable information, and may want to specify a new random opaque identifier that the pledge should use in its CSR. This may be desirable if the CA and EST server have different operators.

7. IANA Considerations

IANA is asked to allocate two new Object Identifiers:
