Introduction In the original Enhanced Security Services (ESS) for S/MIME draft [ESS], a structure for cryptographically linking the certificate to be used in validation with the signature was defined. This structure, called ESSCertID was hardwired to use a SHA-1 hash value. The recent attacks on SHA-1 require that we change define a new attribute which allows for the use of a different algorithm. This document performs that task. This document defines the structure ESSCertIDv2 along with a new attribute SigningCertificateV2 which uses the updated structure. This document allows for the structure to have algorithm agility and defines new attributes to deal with the updating. 1.1. Notation 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]. Schaad Expires October 3, 2006 [Page 3] Internet-Draft ESSCertID Update April 2006 2. Replace Section 5.4 'Signing Certificate Attribute Definitions' The signing certificate attribute is designed to prevent simple substitution and re-issue attacks, and to allow for a restricted set of authorization certificates to be used in verifying a signature. Two different attributes exist for this due to a flaw in the original design. The only substantial difference between the two attributes is that SigningCertificateV2 allows for hash algorithm agility, while SigningCertificate forces the use of the SHA-1 hash algorithm. With the recent advances in the ability to create hash collisions for SHA-1 it is deemed wise to move forward sooner rather than later. When the SHA-1 hash function is used, the SigningCertificate attribute MUST be used. The SigningCertificateV2 attribute MUST be used if any algorithm other than SHA-1 is used and SHOULD NOT be used for SHA-1. Applications SHOULD recognize both attributes as long as they consider SHA-1 able to distingusih between two different certificates. (I.e. the possiblity of a collision is suffiently low.) Schaad Expires October 3, 2006 [Page 4] Internet-Draft ESSCertID Update April 2006 3. Insert new section 5.4.1 'Signing Certificate Attribute Definition Version 2' 5.4.1 Signing Certificate Attribute Definition Version 2 The signing certificate attribute is designed to prevent the simple substitution and re-issue attacks, and to allow for a restricted set of authorization certificates to be used in verifying a signature. SigningCertificateV2 is identified by the OID: id-aa-signingCertificateV2 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) The attribute has the ASN.1 definition: SigningCertificateV2 ::= SEQUENCE { certs SEQUENCE OF ESSCertIDv2, policies SEQUENCE OF PolicyInformation OPTIONAL } member-body(2) us(840) rsadsi(113549) pkcs(1) pkcs9(9) smime(16) id-aa(2) 47 } certs contains the list of certificates that are to be used in validating the message. The first certificate identified in the sequence of certificate identifiers MUST be the certificate used to verify the signature. The encoding of the ESSCertIDv2 for this certificate SHOULD include the issuerSerial field. If other constraints ensure that issuerAndSerialNumber will be present in the SignerInfo, the issuerSerial field MAY be omitted. The certificate identified is used during the signature verification process. If the hash of the certificate does not match the certificate used to verify the signature, the signature MUST be considered invalid. If more than one certificate is present, subsequent certificates limit the set of authorization certificates that are used during signature validation. Authorization certificates can be either attribute certificates or normal certificates. The issuerSerial field (in the ESSCertIDv2 structure) SHOULD be present for these certificates, unless the client who is validating the signature is expected to have easy access to all the certificates required for validation. If only the signing certificate is present in the sequence, there are no restrictions on the set of authorization certificates used in validating the signature. Schaad Expires October 3, 2006 [Page 5] Internet-Draft ESSCertID Update April 2006 policies contains a sequence of policy information terms that identify those certificate policies that the signer asserts apply to the certificate, and under which the certificate should be relied upon. This value suggests a policy value to be used in the relying party's certification path validation. The definition of PolicyInformation can be found in [PKIXCERT]. If present, the SigningCertificateV2 attribute MUST be a signed attribute; it MUST NOT be an unsigned attribute. CMS defines SignedAttributes as a SET OF Attribute. A SignerInfo MUST NOT include multiple instances of the SigningCertificate attribute. CMS defines the ASN.1 syntax for the signed attributes to include attrValues SET OF AttributeValue. A SigningCertificate attribute MUST include only a single instance of AttributeValue. There MUST NOT be zero or multiple instances of AttributeValue present in the attrValues SET OF AttributeValue. Schaad Expires October 3, 2006 [Page 6] Internet-Draft ESSCertID Update April 2006 4. Insert new section 5.4.1.1 'Certificate Identification Version 2' Insert the following text as a new section 5.4.1.1 Certificate Identification Version 2 The best way to identify certificates is an often-discussed issue. The ESSCertIDV2 structure supplies two different fields that are used for this purpose. The hash of the entire certificate allows for a verifier to check that the certificate used in the verification process was the same certificate the signer intended. Hashes are convient in that they are frequently used by certificate stores as a method of indexing and retrieving certificates as well. The use of the hash is required by this structure since the detection of substitued certificates is based on the fact they would map to different hash values. The issuer/serial number pair is the method of identification of certificates used in [PKIXCERT]. That document imposes a restriction for certificates that the issuer DN must be present. The issuer/ serial number pair would therefore normally be sufficient to identify the correct signing certificate. (This assumes the same issuer name is not re-used from the set of trust anchors.) The issuer/serial number pair can be stored in the sid field of the SignerInfo object. However the sid field is not covered by the signature. In the cases where the issuer/serial number pair is not used in the sid or the issuer/serial number pair needs to be signed, they SHOULD be placed in the issuerSerial field of the ESSCertIDv2 structure. Attribute certificates and additional public key certificates containing authorization information do not have an issuer/serial number pair represented anywhere in a SignerInfo object. When an attribute certificate or an additional public key certificate is not included in the SignedData object, it becomes much more difficult to get the correct set of certificates based only on a hash of the certificate. For this reason, these certificates SHOULD be identified by the IssuerSerial object. This document defines a certificate identifier as: Schaad Expires October 3, 2006 [Page 7] Internet-Draft ESSCertID Update April 2006 ESSCertIDv2 ::= SEQUENCE { hashAlg AlgorithmIdentifier DEFAULT {id-sha256} certHash Hash, issuerSerial IssuerSerial OPTIONAL } Hash ::= OCTET STRING IssuerSerial ::= SEQUENCE { issuer GeneralNames, serialNumber CertificateSerialNumber } The fields of ESSCertIDv2 are defined as follows: hashAlg contains the identifier of the algorithm used in computing certHash. certHash is computed over the entire DER encoded certificate including the signature. issuerSerial holds the identification of the certificate. The issuerSerial would normally be present unless the value can be inferred from other information. The fields of IssuerSerial are defined as follows: issuer contains the issuer name of the certificate. For non- attribute certificates, the issuer MUST contain only the issuer name from the certificate encoded in the directoryName choice of GeneralNames. For attribute certificates, the issuer MUST contain the issuer name field from the attribute certificate. serialNumber holds the serial number that uniquely identifies the certificate.

Insert new section 5.4.2 ' Signing Certificate Attribute Defintion Version 1 5.4.2 Signing Certificate Attribute Definition Version 1 The signing certificate attribute is designed to prevent the simple substitution and re-issue attacks, and to allow for a restricted set of authorization certificates to be used in verifying a signature. The definition of SigningCertificate is SigningCertificate ::= SEQUENCE { certs SEQUENCE OF ESSCertID, policies SEQUENCE OF PolicyInformation OPTIONAL } id-aa-signingCertificate OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) member-body(2) us(840) rsadsi(113549) pkcs(1) pkcs9(9) smime(16) id-aa(2) 12 } The first certificate identified in the sequence of certificate identifiers MUST be the certificate used to verify the signature. The encoding of the ESSCertID for this certificate SHOULD include the issuerSerial field. If other constraints ensure that issuerAndSerialNumber will be present in the SignerInfo, the issuerSerial field MAY be omitted. The certificate identified is used during the signature verification process. If the hash of the certificate does not match the certificate used to verify the signature, the signature MUST be considered invalid. If more than one certificate is present in the sequence of ESSCertIDs, the certificates after the first one limit the set of authorization certificates that are used during signature validation. Authorization certificates can be either attribute certificates or normal certificates. The issuerSerial field (in the ESSCertID structure) SHOULD be present for these certificates, unless the client who is validating the signature is expected to have easy access to all the certificates required for validation. If only the signing certificate is present in the sequence, there are no restrictions on the set of authorization certificates used in validating the signature.
