1.3. Changes since RFC 5208 1.3. Summary of Updates to RFC 5208
The following are the changes since [RFC5208]: The following summarizes the updates to [RFC5208]:
- Changed the name "PrivateKeyInfo" to "OneAsymmetricKey". This
reflects the addition of the public key field to allow both parts
of the asymmetric key to be conveyed separately. Not all
algorithms will use both fields; however, the publicKey field was
added for completeness.
- Defined Asymmetric Key Package CMS content type. - Defined Asymmetric Key Package CMS content type.
- Removed IMPLICIT from aKeyAttrs to align text with module. - Removed redundant IMPLICIT from attributes.
- Added public key to OneAsymmetricKey and added new version number. - Added publicKey to OneAsymmetricKey and updated the version number.
- Added that PKCS#9 attributes MAY be supported. - Added that PKCS#9 attributes may be supported.
- Added Other Considerations section. - Added discussion of compatibility with other private-key formats.
- Added requirements for encoding rule set.
- Changed imports from PKCS#5 to [RFCTBD3].
2. Asymmetric Key Package CMS Content Type 2. Asymmetric Key Package CMS Content Type
This section updates section 5 of [RFC5208].
The asymmetric key package CMS content type is used to transfer one The asymmetric key package CMS content type is used to transfer one
or more plaintext asymmetric keys from one party to another. An or more plaintext asymmetric keys from one party to another. An
asymmetric key package MAY be encapsulated in one or more CMS asymmetric key package MAY be encapsulated in one or more CMS

DER encoded [X.690]. specification [RFC5208] did not specify a particular encoding rule
set, but generators SHOULD use DER [X.690] and receivers SHOULD be
prepared to handle BER [X.690] and DER [X.690].
The asymmetric key package content type has the following syntax: The asymmetric key package content type has the following syntax:
PKCS7-CONTENT-TYPE ::= TYPE-IDENTIFIER PKCS7-CONTENT-TYPE ::= TYPE-IDENTIFIER

key, a private key, and optionally keying material attributes (e.g.,
certificates) and a public key. In general, either the public key or
the certificate will be present. In very rare cases will both the
public key and the certificate be present as this includes two copies
of the public key. The fields in OneAsymmetricKey are used as
follows:
- version identifies version of the asymmetric key package content The syntax of OneAsymmetricKey accommodates a version number, an
structure. For this version of the specification, version MUST be indication of the asymmetric algorithm to be used with the private

publicKey field is present. userCertificate from [X.520]), and an optional public key. In
general, either the public key or the certificate will be present.
In very rare cases will both the public key and the certificate be
present as this includes two copies of the public key.
OneAsymmetricKey is a renamed extension of the PrivateKeyInfo syntax
defined in [RFC5208]. The new name better reflects the ability to
carry both private and public key components. Backwards
compatibility with the original PrivateKeyInfo is preserved via
version number. The fields in OneAsymmetricKey are used as follows:
- privateKeyAlgorithm identifies the private key algorithm and - version identifies the version of OneAsymmetricKey. If publicKey
is present, then version is set 2 else version is set to 1.
- privateKeyAlgorithm identifies the private-key algorithm and
optionally contains parameters associated with the asymmetric key. optionally contains parameters associated with the asymmetric key.
The algorithm is identified by an OID and the parameters format The algorithm is identified by an object identifier (OID) and the

key.
- privateKey is an OCTET STRING whose contents is the DER encoded - privateKey is an OCTET STRING whose contents are the value of the

registration of the private-key algorithm. registration of the private-key algorithm. For example, a DSA key
is an INTEGER, an RSA key is represented as RSAPrivateKey as
defined in [RFC3447], and an ECC key is represented as ECPrivateKey
as defined in [RFCTBD2].

3. Encrypted Private Key Info formats. Note that RSA public keys are included in RSAPrivateKey
(i.e., n and e are present), as per [RFC3447], and ECC public keys
This section gives the syntax for encrypted private-key information, are included in ECPrivateKey (i.e., in the publicKey field), as per
which is used with [P12]. [RFCTBD2].
Encrypted private-key information shall have ASN.1 type
EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo:
EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
encryptionAlgorithm EncryptionAlgorithmIdentifier,
encryptedData EncryptedData }
EncryptionAlgorithmIdentifier ::= AlgorithmIdentifier
{ { KeyEncryptionAlgorithms } }
EncryptedData ::= OCTET STRING
The EncAsymmetricKeyPackage contains one or more
EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo elements. The fields in
EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo are used as follows:
- encryptionAlgorithm identifies the algorithm under which the
private-key information is encrypted. Implementations MUST support
the TBD algorithm.
- encryptedData is the result of encrypting the private-key
information (i.e., the PrivateKeyInfo).
The encryption process involves the following two steps:
1. The private-key information is BER encoded, yielding an octet
string.
2. The result of step 1 is encrypted with the secret key to give an
octet string, the result of the encryption process.

5. Other Considerations 4. Other Private-Key Format Considerations
This document defines the syntax and the semantics for content types This document defines the syntax and the semantics for a content type
that exchange asymmetric keys. There are two other standards for that exchanges asymmetric private keys. There are two other formats
transporting asymmetric private keys: that have been used for the transport of asymmetric private keys:
- Personal Information Exchange (PFX) or more commonly referred to as - Personal Information Exchange (PFX) Syntax Standard [P12], which is
P12 [P12], is a transfer syntax for personal identity information, more commonly referred to as PKCS #12 or simply P12, is a transfer

carried in a P12 message. OneAsymmetricKey, PrivateKeyInfo, and EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo
[RFC5208] can be carried in a P12 message. The private key
information, OneAsymmetricKey and PrivateKeyInfo, are carried in
the P12 keyBag BAG-TYPE. EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo is carried in the
P12 pkcs8ShroudedKeyBag BAG-TYPE. In current implementations, the
file extensions .pfx and .p12 can be used interchangeably.

When the private key is a character string, the OCTET STRING contains [RFCTBD3] defines the appication/pkcs8 media type and .p8 file

6. Security Considerations To extract the private key information from the AsymmetricKeyPackage,
the encapsulating layers need to be removed. At a minimum, the outer
ContentInfo [RFC5652] layer needs to be removed. If the
AsymmetricKeyPackage is encapsulated in a SignedData [RFC5652], then
the SignedData and EncapsulatedContentInfo layers [RFC5652] also need
to be removed. The same is true for EnvelopedData, EncryptedData, and
AuthenticatedData all from [RFC5652] as well as AuthEnvelopedData
from [RFC5083]. Once all the outer layers are removed, there are as
many sets of private key information as there are OneAsymmetricKey
structures. OneAsymmetricKey and PrivateKeyInfo are the same
structure; therefore, either can be saved as a .p8 file or copied in
to the P12 KeyBack BAG-TYPE. Removing encapsulating security layers
will invalidate any signature and may expose the key to unauthorized
disclosure.
Protection of the private-key information is vital to public-key .p8 files are sometimes PEM encoded. When .p8 files are PEM encoded

-----BEGIN ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY-----
-----END ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY-----
or the PrivateKeyInfo or the OneAsymmetricKey sandwiched between:
-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
-----END PRIVATE KEY-----
5. Security Considerations
The security considerations in [RFC5208] also apply to this document.
