3.2.5. Support for OCSP
OCSP (Online Certificate Status Protocol) [cite] allows the use of
on-line requests for a client or server to determine the validity of
each other's certificates. It is particularly useful for clients
authenticating each other across a constrained network. These
clients will not have to download the entire CRL to check for the
validity of the KDC's certificate.
In these cases, the KDC generally has better connectivity to the
OCSP server, and it therefore processes the OCSP request and
response and sends the results to the client. The changes proposed
in this section allow a client to request an OCSP response from the
KDC when using PKINIT. This is similar to the way that OCSP is
handled in [cite].
OCSP support is provided in PKINIT through the use of additional
preauthentication data. The following new preauthentication types
are defined:
PA-PK-OCSP-REQ ::= SEQUENCE {
-- PAType TBD
responderIDList [0] SEQUENCE of ResponderID OPTIONAL,
-- ResponderID is a DER-encoded
-- ASN.1 type defined in [cite]
requestExtensions [1] Extensions OPTIONAL
-- Extensions is a DER-encoded
-- ASN.1 type defined in [cite]
}
PA-PK-OCSP-REP ::= SEQUENCE of OCSPResponse
-- OCSPResponse is a DER-encoded
-- ASN.1 type defined in [cite]
A KDC that receives a PA-PK-OCSP-REQ MAY send a PA-PK-OCSP-REP.
KDCs MUST NOT send a PA-PK-OCSP-REP if they do not first receive a
PA-PK-OCSP-REQ from the client. The KDC may either send a cached
OCSP response or send an on-line request to the OCSP server.
When using OCSP, the response is signed by the OCSP server, which is
trusted by the client. Depending on local policy, further
verification of the validity of the OCSP server may need to be done.

PKINIT calls for randomly generated keys for conventional PKINIT calls for randomly generated keys for conventional
cryptosystems. Many such systems contain systematically "weak" cryptosystems. Many such systems contain systematically "weak"
keys. For recommendations regarding these weak keys, see RFC keys. For recommendations regarding these weak keys, see RFC
1510bis. 1510bis.
PKINIT allows the use of a zero nonce in the PKAuthenticator when
cached Diffie-Hellman parameters are used. In this case, message
binding is performed using the nonce in the main request in the same
way as it is done for ordinary (that is, non-PKINIT) AS-REQs. The
nonce field in the KDC request body is signed through the checksum
in the PKAuthenticator, and it therefore cryptographically binds the
AS-REQ with the AS-REP. If cached parameters are also used on the
client side, the generated session key will be the same, and a
compromised session key could lead to the compromise of future
cached exchanges. It is desirable to limit the use of cached
parameters to just the KDC, in order to eliminate this exposure.

It might be possible to address this using a preauthentication field
as part of the proposed Kerberos preauthenticatino framework.
