Abstract

   This document defines the syntax for two Cryptographic Message Syntax
   (CMS) content types, one for key package receipts, and another for
   key package errors.  The key package receipt content type is used to
   confirm receipt of an identified key package or collection of key
   packages.  The key package error content type is used to indicate an
   error occurred during the processing of a key package.  CMS can be
   used to digitally sign, digest, authenticate, or encrypt these
   content types.

1. Introduction

   This document defines the syntax for two Cryptographic Message Syntax
   (CMS) [RFC5652] content types, one for key package receipts, and
   another for key package errors.  The key package receipt content type
   is used to confirm receipt of an identified key package or collection
   of key packages.  The key package error content type is used to
   indicate an error occurred during the processing of a key package.
   CMS can be used to digitally sign, digest, authenticate, or encrypt
   these content types.

1.1. Requirements 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].

Internet-Draft       Key Package Receipts and Errors         17 May 2013

1.2. ASN.1 Syntax Notation

   The content types defined herein use ASN.1 [X.680], [X.681], [X.682],
   and [X.683].

   The CONTENT-TYPE definition was updated to the 2008 version of ASN.1
   by [RFC6268]; however, none of the new 2008 ASN.1 tokens are used in
   this specification, which allows compilers that only support the 2002
   version of ASN.1 to compile the module in Appendix A.

1.3. Processing Key Package Receipt Requests

   The key package or collection of key packages [RFC4073] [RFC5958]
   [RFC6031] [RFC6032] for which the receipt is being generated MUST be
   signed, and the key package MUST include the key-package-identifier-
   and-receipt-request attribute specified in Section 3.

1.4. Processing Key Packages with Errors

   The key package or collection of key packages [RFC4073] [RFC5958]
   [RFC6031] [RFC6032] for which the error is being generated might be
   signed.  The key package can be identified by a key-package-
   identifier-and-receipt-request attribute specified in Section 3.

2. SIR Entity Name

   Within a key distribution system, the source, intermediary, and
   receiver entities are identified by a Source Intermediary Recipient
   (SIR) entity name.  The syntax for the SIR entity name does not
   impose any particular structure, and it accommodates straightforward
   registration of additional SIR entity name types.

   The inclusion of the nameType object identifier ensures that two
   identifiers of different types that happen to contain the same values
   are not interpreted as equivalent.  Additional SIR entity name types
   are expected to be registered that represent different granularities.
   For example, one SIR entity name type might represent the receiver
   organization, and at a finer granularity, another SIR entity name
   type might identify a specific device, perhaps using a manufacturer
   identifier and serial number.  The use of an object identifier avoids
   the need for a central registry of SIR entity name types.

   The nameValue is an OCTET STRING, which allows the canonical form of
   any name to be carried.  Two names of the same type are considered
   equal if the octet strings are the same length and contain the same
   string of octets.

Internet-Draft       Key Package Receipts and Errors         17 May 2013

   SIREntityNames and SIREntityName have the following syntax:

      SIREntityNames ::= SEQUENCE SIZE (1..MAX) OF SIREntityName

      SIREntityName ::= SEQUENCE {
        nameType         OBJECT IDENTIFIER,
        nameValue        OCTET STRING }

   This document defines one SIR entity name type: the DN type.  The DN
   type uses a nameType of id-dn and a nameValue of a Distinguished
   Name.  The nameValue OCTET STRING carries an ASN.1 encoded Name as
   specified in [RFC5280].  Note that other documents may define
   additional types.

      id-dn OBJECT IDENTIFER ::= {
         joint-iso-ccitt(2) country(16) us(840) organization(1)
         gov(101) dod(2) infosec(1) sir-name-types(16) 0 }

3. Key Package Identifier and Receipt Request Attribute

   The key-package-identifier-and-receipt-request attribute, as its name
   implies, allows the originator to identify the key package and
   optionally request receipts.  This attribute can appear as a signed,
   authenticated, and content attribute.  Signed attributes are carried
   in the CMS Signed-data content type described in Section 5 of
   [RFC5652].  Authenticated attributes are carried in the CMS
   Authenticated-data content type described in Section 9 of [RFC5652]
   or in the CMS Authenticated-enveloped-data content type described in
   Section 2 of [RFC5083].  Content attributes are carried in the
   Content-with-attributes content type described in Section 3 of
   [RFC4073].

   The key-package-identifier-and-receipt-request attribute has the
   following syntax:

     aa-keyPackageIdentifierAndReceiptRequest ATTRIBUTE ::= {
         TYPE KeyPkgIdentifierAndReceiptReq
         IDENTIFIED BY id-aa-KP-keyPkgIdAndReceiptReq }

     id-aa-KP-keyPkgIdAndReceiptReq OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
         joint-iso-itu-t(2) country(16) us(840) organization(1)
         gov(101) dod(2) infosec(1) attributes(5) 65 }

     KeyPkgIdentifierAndReceiptReq ::= SEQUENCE {
         pkgID       KeyPkgID,
         receiptReq  KeyPkgReceiptReq OPTIONAL }

     KeyPkgID ::= OCTET STRING

Housley                 Expires 17 November 2013                [Page 4]
Internet-Draft       Key Package Receipts and Errors         17 May 2013

     KeyPkgReceiptReq ::= SEQUENCE {
         encryptReceipt     BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE,
         receiptsFrom   [0] SIREntityNames OPTIONAL,
         receiptsTo         SIREntityNames }
   Even though the ATTRIBUTE syntax is defined as a SET OF
   AttributeValue, a key-package-identifier-and-receipt-request
   attribute MUST have a single attribute value; zero or multiple
   instances of AttributeValue are not permitted.

   The fields in the key-package-identifier-and-receipt-request
   attribute have the following semantics:

     o pkgID contains an octet string, and this syntax does not impose
       any particular structure on the identifier.

     o receiptReq is OPTIONAL, and when it is present, it includes an
       encryption receipt flag, an OPTIONAL indication of which
       receivers should generate receipts, and an indication of where
       the receipts are to be sent.

       * The encryption receipt flag indicates whether the key package
         originator wants the receipt to be encrypted.  If the boolean
         is set, then the receipt SHOULD be encrypted.

       * The OPTIONAL ReceiptsFrom field provides an indication of which
         receivers SHOULD generate receipts.  When the ReceiptsFrom
         field is absent, then all receivers of the key package are
         expected to return receipts.  When the ReceiptsFrom field is
         present, then a list of SIR entity names indicates which
         receivers of the key package are expected to return receipts.
         In this case, the receiver SHOULD return a receipt only if
         their SIR entity name appears on the list.

       * The receipt request does not include any key management
         information; however, the list of SIR entity names in the
         receiptsTo field can be used to select symmetric or asymmetric
         keying material for the receipt receivers.

   A receiver SHOULD ignore the nameValue associated with any
   unrecognized nameType in either the receiptsFrom field or the
   receiptsTo field.

   When the key-package-identifier-and-receipt-request attribute appears
   in more than one location in the overall key package, each occurrence
   is evaluated independently.  That is, the receiver may generate more
   than one receipt for a single key package.  However the time at which
   the receipts are sent will depend on policies that are beyond the
   scope of this document.

4. Key Package Receipt CMS Content Type

   The key package receipt content type is used to confirm receipt of an
   identified key package or collection of key packages.  This content
   type MUST be Distinguished Encoding Rules (DER) encoded [X.690].

Internet-Draft       Key Package Receipts and Errors         17 May 2013

   The key package receipt content type has the following syntax:

     ct-key-package-receipt CONTENT-TYPE ::= {
         TYPE KeyPackageReceipt
         IDENTIFIED BY id-ct-KP-keyPackageReceipt }

     id-ct-KP-keyPackageReceipt OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
         iso(1) member-body(2) us(840) rsadsi(113549) pkcs(1) pkcs9(9)
         smime(16) ct(1) TBD1 }

     KeyPackageReceipt ::= SEQUENCE {
         version          KeyPkgVersion DEFAULT v2,
         receiptOf        KeyPkgIdentifier,
         receivedBy       SIREntityName }

     -- Revised definition of KeyPkgVersion from [RFC6031]
     KeyPkgVersion ::= INTEGER  { v1(1), v2(2) } (1 .. 65535)

     KeyPkgIdentifier ::= CHOICE {
         pkgID            KeyPkgID,
         attribute        SingleAttribute {{ KeyPkgIdentifiers }} }

     KeyPkgID ::= OCTET STRING

     KeyPkgIdentifiers ATTRIBUTE ::= { ... }

   The KeyPackageReceipt fields are used as follows:

     o version identifies version of the key package receipt content.
       For this version of the specification, the default value, v2,
       MUST be used.  Note that v1 was defined in an earlier version,
       but the use of v1 is deprecated.

     o receiptOf offers two alternatives for identifying the key package
       for which the receipt is being generated.  The first alternative,
       pkgID, MUST be supported, and pkgID provides the key package
       identifier of the key package or collection of key packages for
       which this receipt is being generated.  This key package
       identifier value MUST exactly match the key package identifier
       value of the key-package-identifier-and-receipt-request attribute
       in the received key package or collection.  The key-package-
       identifier-and-receipt-request attribute is described Section 3.
       The second alternative allows alternate attributes to be used to
       define the identifier.

     o receivedBy identifies the entity that received the key package.
       The entity is named by an SIR entity name as specified in section
       2.

Internet-Draft       Key Package Receipts and Errors         17 May 2013

   Key package receipts MUST be encapsulated in a CMS SignedData content
   type to carry the signature of the entity that is confirming receipt
   of the identified key package or collection of key packages.  Key
   package receipts MAY be encrypted by encapsulating them in the CMS
   EncryptedData content type, the CMS EnvelopedData content type, or
   the AuthEnvelopedData content type.  When the key package receipt is
   signed and encrypted, it MUST be signed prior to being encrypted.

   Note that delivery assurance is the responsibility of the protocol
   that is used to transport and track key packages.  The key package
   receipt content type can be used in conjunction with that protocol as
   part of an overall delivery assurance solution.

   Because the receipts are signed, all recipients that generate key
   package receipts MUST have a private signature key to sign the
   receipt as well as store their own certificate or have a means of
   obtaining the key identifier of their public key.  If memory is a
   concern, the public key identifier can be computed from the public
   key.

   If the receipt signer has access to a real-time clock, then the
   binary-signing-time [RFC6019] signed attribute SHOULD be included in
   the key package receipt to provide the date and time when it was
   generated.

5. Key Package Error CMS Content Type

   The key package error content type provides an indication of the
   reason for rejection of a key package or collection of key packages.
   This content type MUST be Distinguished Encoding Rules (DER) encoded
   [X.690].

   The key package error content type has the following syntax:

     ct-key-package-error CONTENT-TYPE ::= {
         TYPE KeyPackageError IDENTIFIED BY id-ct-KP-keyPackageError }

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

     KeyPackageError ::= SEQUENCE {
         version        KeyPkgVersion DEFAULT v2,
         errorOf    [0] KeyPkgIdentifier OPTIONAL,
         errorBy        SIREntityName,
         errorCode      ErrorCodeChoice }

     KeyPkgVersion ::= INTEGER  { v1(1), v2(2) } (1 .. 65535)

     KeyPkgIdentifiers ATTRIBUTE ::= { ... }

       value, v2, MUST be used.  Note that v1 was defined in an earlier
       version, but the use of v1 is deprecated.

     o errorOf is OPTIONAL, and it provides the identifier of the keying
       material for which this error is being generated.  This is
       omitted if the receiver or intermediary cannot parse the received
       data to determine the package identifier.  Also, encryption may
       prevent an intermediary from obtaining any of the identifiers.
       Two alternatives for identifying the keying material are
       possible; see KeyPkgIdentifier as described in Section 4.  The
       value MUST exactly match the value of the key-package-identifier-
       and-receipt-request attribute in the received key package or
       collection.  The key-package-identifier-and-receipt-request
       attribute is described in Section 3.

     o errorBy  identifies the entity that received the key package.
       The entity is named by an SIR entity name as specified in section

       2.

     o errorCode contains a code that indicates the reason for the
       error.  It contains either an enumerated error code from the list
       below or an extended error code represented by an object
       identifier.  The enumerated error code alternative MUST be
       supported.  The object identifier error code MAY be supported.

       * decodeFailure is used to indicate that the key package
         intermediary or receiver was unable to successfully decode the
         provided package.  The specified content type and the provided
         content do not match.

       * badContentInfo is used to indicate that the ContentInfo syntax
         is invalid or that the contentType carried within the
         ContentInfo is unknown or unsupported.

         invalid, the version is unknown or unsupported, or more than
         one entry is present in digestAlgorithms.

       * badEncapContent is used to indicate that the
         EncapsulatedContentInfo syntax is invalid within a SignedData

         more certificates in CertificateSet or elsewhere is invalid or
         unsupported.

       * badSignerInfo is used to indicate that the SignerInfo syntax is
         invalid, or the version is unknown or unsupported.

       * badSignedAttrs is used to indicate that the signedAttrs syntax
         within SignerInfo is invalid.

       * badUnsignedAttrs is used to indicate that the unsignedAttrs
         within SignerInfo contains one or more attributes.  Since
         unrecognized attributes are ignored, this error code is used
         when the object identifier for the attribute is recognized, but
         the value is malformed or internally inconsistent.  In
         addition, this error code can be used when policy prohibits an
         implementation from supporting unsigned attributes.

       * missingContent is used to indicate that the optional eContent
         is missing in EncapsulatedContentInfo, which is required when
         including an asymmetric key package, a symmetric key package,

         optional [RFC5652];  however, [RFC5958], [RFC6031], and
         [RFC6032] require that the eContent be present.

       * noTrustAnchor is used to indicate that the subjectKeyIdentifier
         does not identify the public key of a trust anchor or a
         certification path that terminates with an installed trust
         anchor.

         * notAuthorized is used to indicate that the sid within
         SignerInfo leads to an installed trust anchor, but that trust
         anchor is not an authorized signer for the received content
         type.

       * badDigestAlgorithm is used to indicate that the digestAlgorithm
         in either SignerInfo, SignedData, or AuthenticatedData is
         unknown or unsupported.

       * badSignatureAlgorithm is used to indicate that the

       * unsupportedKeySize is used to indicate that the
         signatureAlgorithm in SignerInfo is known and supported, but
         the digital signature could not be validated because an
         unsupported key size was employed by the signer.
         Alternatively, the algorithm used in EnvelopedData,
         AuthenticatedData, or AuthEnvelopedData to generate the key-
         encryption key is known and supported, but an unsupported key
         size was employed by the originator.

       * unsupportedParameters is used to indicate that the
         signatureAlgorithm in SignerInfo is known, but the digital
         signature could not be validated because unsupported parameters
         were employed by the signer.  Alternatively, the algorithm used
         in EnvelopedData, AuthenticatedData, or AuthEnvelopedData to
         generate the key-encryption key is known and supported, but
         unsupported parameters were employed by the originator.

       * signatureFailure is used to indicate that the
         signatureAlgorithm in SignerInfo is known and supported, but
         the digital signature in the signature field within SignerInfo
         could not be validated.

       * insufficientMemory indicates that the key package could not be
         processed because the intermediary or receiver did not have
         sufficient memory to store the keying material.

       * incorrectTarget indicates that a receiver is not the intended
         recipient.

       * missingSignature indicates that the receiver requires the key
         package to be signed or authenticated with a Message
         Authentication Check (MAC), but the received key package was
         not signed or authenticated.

         received key package is not acceptable.

       * revokedCertificate indicates that one or more of the
         certificates needed to properly process the key package has
         been revoked.

         was used, and the key package receiver could not determine the
         appropriate keying material to perform the decryption.

       * noDecryptKey indicates that the receiver does not have the key
         named in the content-decryption-key-identifier attribute (see
         [RFC6032]).

       * badEncryptedData indicates that the EncryptedData syntax is

         contentType is unknown or unsupported.

       * badEncryptAlgorithm indicates that the encryption algorithm
         identified by contentEncryptionAlgorithm in
         EncryptedContentInfo is unknown or unsupported.  This can
         result from EncryptedData, EnvelopedData, or AuthEnvelopedData.

       * missingCiphertext indicates that the optional encryptedContent
         is missing in EncryptedContentInfo, which is required when
         including an asymmetric key package, a symmetric key package,
         and an encrypted key package.

       * decryptFailure indicates that the encryptedContent in
         EncryptedContentInfo did not decrypt properly.

       * badMACAlgorithm indicates that the MAC algorithm identified by
         MessageAuthenticationCodeAlgorithm in AuthenticatedData is
         unknown or unsupported.

       * badAuthAttrs is used to indicate that the authAttrs syntax
         within AuthenticatedData or AuthEnvelopedData is invalid.
         Since unrecognized attributes are ignored, this error code is
         used when the object identifier for the attribute is
         recognized, but the value is malformed or internally
         inconsistent.

       * badUnauthAttrs is used to indicate that the unauthAttrs syntax
         within AuthenticatedData or AuthEnvelopedData is invalid.

         algorithm in digestAlgorithms field within SignedData does not
         match the digest algorithm used in the signature algorithm.

       * missingCertificate indicates that a signature could not be
         verified using a trust anchor or a certificate from the
         certificates field within SignedData.  Similarly, this error
         code can indicate that a needed certificate is missing when
         processing EnvelopedData, AuthEnvelopedData, or
         AuthenticatedData.

       * tooManySigners indicates that a SignedData content contained
         more than one SignerInfo for a content type that requires only
         one signer.

       * missingSignedAttributes indicates that a SignedInfo within a
         SignedData content did not contain any signed attributes; at a
         minimum, the content-type and message-digest must be present,
         as per [RFC5652].  Similarly, this error code can indicate that
         required authenticated attributes are missing when processing
         AuthEnvelopedData or AuthenticatedData.

       * derEncodingNotUsed indicates that the content contained BER
         encoding, or some other encoding, where DER encoding was
         required.

       * missingContentHints indicates that a SignedData content
         encapsulates a content other than a key package or an encrypted
         key package; however, the content-hints attribute [RFC2634] is
         not included.  Similarly, this error code can indicate that the
         content-hints attribute was missing when processing
         AuthEnvelopedData or AuthenticatedData.

       * invalidAttributeLocation indicates that an attribute appeared
         in an unacceptable location.

       * badMessageDigest indicates that the value of the message-digest
         attribute [RFC5652] did not match the calculated value.

       * badKeyPackage indicates that the SymmetricKeyPackage [RFC6031]
         or AsymmetricKeyPackage [RFC5958] syntax is invalid or that the
         version is unknown.

       * badAttributes indicates that an attribute collection contained
         either multiple instances of the same attribute type that
         allows only one instance or contained an attribute instance
         with multiple values in an attribute that allows only one
         value.

       * attributeComparisonFailure indicates that multiple instances of
         an attribute failed the comparison rules for the type of
         attribute.

       * unsupportedSymmetricKeyPackage indicates that the
         implementation does not support symmetric key packages
         [RFC6031].

       * unsupportedAsymmetricKeyPackage indicates that the
         implementation does not support asymmetric key packages

         [RFC5958].

       * constraintViolation indicates that one or more of the
         attributes has a value that is not in the authorized set of
         values for the signer [RFC6010].  That is, the value is in
         conflict with the constraints imposed on the signer.

       * ambiguousDefaultValue indicates that one or more of the
         attributes that is part of the signer's constraints is omitted
         from the key package, and the constraint permits more than one
         value, therefore the appropriate default value for that
         attribute or attribute cannot be determined.

       * noMatchingRecipientInfo indicates that a recipientInfo could
         not be found for the recipient.  This can result from a keri or
         kari found in EncryptedData, EnvelopedData, or
         AuthEnvelopedData.

       * unsupportedKeyWrapAlgorithm indicates that the key wrap
         algorithm is not supported.

       * badKeyTransRecipientInfo indicates that the
         KeyTransRecipientInfo syntax is invalid or the version is
         unknown or unsupported.

       * other indicates that the key package could not be processed,
         but the reason is not covered by any of the assigned status
         codes.  Use of this status code SHOULD be avoided.

   The key package error content type MUST be signed if the entity
   generating it is capable of signing it.  For example, a device will
   be incapable of signing when it is in early stages of deployment and
   it has not been configured with a private signing key or a device has
   an internal error that prevents use of its private signing key.  When
   it is signed, the key package error MUST be encapsulated in a CMS
   SignedData content type to carry the signature of the party that is
   indicating an error.  When it is encrypted, the key package error
   MUST be encapsulated in a CMS EnvelopedData content type, a CMS
   EncryptedData content type, or a CMS AuthEnvelopedData content type.
   When a key package error is signed and encrypted, it MUST be signed
   prior to being encrypted.

   All devices that generate signed key package error reports MUST store
   their own certificate or have a means of obtaining the key identifier
   of their public key.  If memory is a concern, the public key
   identifier can be computed from the public key.

6. Protecting the KeyPackageReceipt and KeyPackageError

   CMS protecting content types, [RFC5652] and [RFC5083], can be used to
   provide security to the KeyPackageReceipt and KeyPackageError content
   types:

     o SignedData can be used to apply a digital signature.

     o EncryptedData can be used to encrypt the content type with simple
       symmetric encryption, where the sender and the receiver already
       share the necessary encryption key.

     o EnvelopedData can be used to encrypt the content type with
       symmetric encryption, where the sender and the receiver do not
       already share the necessary encryption key.

     o AuthenticatedData can be used to integrity protect the content
       type with message authentication algorithms that support
       authenticated encryption, where key management information is
       handled in a manner similar to EnvelopedData.

     o AuthEnvelopedData can be used to protect the content types with
       algorithms that support authenticated encryption, where key
       management information is handled in a manner similar to
       EnvelopedData.

7. Security Considerations

   The key package receipt and key package error contents are not
   necessarily protected.  These content types can be combined with a
   security protocol to protect the contents of the package.

   In some situations, returning very detailed error information can
   provide an attacker with insight into the security processing.  Where
   this is a concern, the implementation should return the most generic
   error code that is appropriate.  However, detailed error codes are
   very helpful during development, debugging, and interoperability
   testing.  For this reason, implementations may want to have a way to
   configure the use of a generic error code or a detailed one.

8. IANA Considerations

   None.
