Appendix A. Examples
This appendix provides examples of the actual packets sent on the
wire. This uses the 256-bit ECDSA private/public key pair defined in
the section 8.1. of the IKEv2 ECDSA document [RFC4754].
The public key is as followed:
o Algorithm : id-ecPublicKey (1.2.840.10045.2.1)
o Fixed curve: secp256r1 (1.2.840.10045.3.1.7)
o Public key x coordinate : cb28e099 9b9c7715 fd0a80d8 e47a7707
9716cbbf 917dd72e 97566ea1 c066957c
o Public key y coordinate : 2b57c023 5fb74897 68d058ff 4911c20f
dbe71e36 99d91339 afbb903e e17255dc
The SubjectPublicKeyInfo ASN.1 object is as follows:
0000 : SEQUENCE
0002 : SEQUENCE
0004 : OBJECT IDENTIFIER id-ecPublicKey (1.2.840.10045.2.1)
000d : OBJECT IDENTIFIER secp256r1 (1.2.840.10045.3.1.7)
0017 : BIT STRING (66 bytes)
00000000: 0004 cb28 e099 9b9c 7715 fd0a 80d8 e47a
00000010: 7707 9716 cbbf 917d d72e 9756 6ea1 c066
00000020: 957c 2b57 c023 5fb7 4897 68d0 58ff 4911
00000030: c20f dbe7 1e36 99d9 1339 afbb 903e e172
00000040: 55dc
The first byte (00) of the bit string indicates that there is no
"number of unused bits", and the second byte (04) indicates
uncompressed form. Those two octets are followed by the values of X
and Y.
The final encoded SubjectPublicKeyInfo object is as follows:
00000000: 3059 3013 0607 2a86 48ce 3d02 0106 082a
00000010: 8648 ce3d 0301 0703 4200 04cb 28e0 999b
00000020: 9c77 15fd 0a80 d8e4 7a77 0797 16cb bf91
00000030: 7dd7 2e97 566e a1c0 6695 7c2b 57c0 235f
00000040: b748 9768 d058 ff49 11c2 0fdb e71e 3699
00000050: d913 39af bb90 3ee1 7255 dc
This will result the final IKEv2 Certificate Payload to be:
00000000: NN00 0060 XX30 5930 1306 072a 8648 ce3d
00000010: 0201 0608 2a86 48ce 3d03 0107 0342 0004
00000020: cb28 e099 9b9c 7715 fd0a 80d8 e47a 7707
00000030: 9716 cbbf 917d d72e 9756 6ea1 c066 957c
00000040: 2b57 c023 5fb7 4897 68d0 58ff 4911 c20f
00000050: dbe7 1e36 99d9 1339 afbb 903e e172 55dc
Where the NN will be the next payload type (i.e. that value depends
on what is the next payload after this certificate payload).
Note to the RFC editor / IANA, replace the XX above with the newly
allocated Raw Public Key number, and remove this note.
