                         Trust Anchor Format

Abstract

  This document describes a structure for representing trust anchor
  information.  A trust anchor is an authoritative entity represented
  by a public key and associated data.  The public key is used to
  verify digital signatures, and the associated data is used to
  constrain the types of information or actions for which the trust
  anchor is authoritative.  The structures defined in this document are
  intended to satisfy the format-related requirements defined in Trust
  Anchor Management Requirements.

1.  Introduction

  Trust anchors are widely used to verify digital signatures and
  validate certification paths [RFC5280][X.509].  They are required
  when validating certification paths.  Though widely used, there is no
  standard format for representing trust anchor information.  This
  document describes the TrustAnchorInfo structure.  This structure is
  intended to satisfy the format-related requirements expressed in
  Trust Anchor Management Requirements [TA-MGMT-REQS] and is expressed
  using ASN.1 [X.680].  It can provide a more compact alternative to
  X.509 certificates for exchanging trust anchor information and
  provides a means of associating additional or alternative constraints
  with certificates without breaking the signature on the certificate.

1.1.  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 RFC 2119 [RFC2119].

2.  Trust Anchor Information Syntax

  This section describes the TrustAnchorInfo structure.

  TrustAnchorInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
     version   TrustAnchorInfoVersion DEFAULT v1,
     pubKey    SubjectPublicKeyInfo,
     keyId     KeyIdentifier,
     taTitle   TrustAnchorTitle OPTIONAL,
     certPath  CertPathControls OPTIONAL,
     exts      [1] EXPLICIT Extensions   OPTIONAL,
     taTitleLangTag   [2] UTF8String OPTIONAL }

  TrustAnchorInfoVersion ::= INTEGER { v1(1) }

2.1.  Version

  version identifies the version of TrustAnchorInfo.  Future updates to
  this document may include changes to the TrustAnchorInfo structure,
  in which case the version number should be incremented.  However, the
  default value, v1, cannot be changed.

2.2.  Public Key

  pubKey identifies the public key and algorithm associated with the
  trust anchor using the SubjectPublicKeyInfo structure [RFC5280].  The
  SubjectPublicKeyInfo structure contains the algorithm identifier
  followed by the public key itself.  The algorithm field is an



Housley, et al.              Standards Track                    [Page 3]

RFC 5914                           TAF                         June 2010


  AlgorithmIdentifier, which contains an object identifier and OPTIONAL
  parameters.  The object identifier names the public key algorithm and
  indicates the syntax of the parameters, if present, as well as the
  format of the public key.  The public key is encoded as a BIT STRING.

2.3.  Key Identifier

  keyId contains the public key identifier of the trust anchor public
  key.  See Section 4.2.1.2 of [RFC5280] for a description of common
  key identifier calculation methods.

2.4.  Trust Anchor Title

   TrustAnchorTitle ::= UTF8String (SIZE (1..64))

  taTitle is OPTIONAL.  When it is present, it provides a human-
  readable name for the trust anchor.  The text is encoded in UTF-8
  [RFC3629], which accommodates most of the world's writing systems.
  The taTitleLangTag field identifies the language used to express the
  taTitle.  When taTitleLangTag is absent, English ("en" language tag)
  is used.  The value of the taTitleLangTag should be a language tag as
  described in [RFC5646].

2.5.  Certification Path Controls

   CertPathControls ::= SEQUENCE {
     taName           Name,
     certificate      [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
     policySet        [1] CertificatePolicies OPTIONAL,
     policyFlags      [2] CertPolicyFlags OPTIONAL,
     nameConstr       [3] NameConstraints OPTIONAL,
     pathLenConstraint[4] INTEGER (0..MAX) OPTIONAL}

  certPath is OPTIONAL.  When it is present, it provides the controls
  needed to initialize an X.509 certification path validation algorithm
  implementation (see Section 6 of [RFC5280]).  When absent, the trust
  anchor cannot be used to validate the signature on an X.509
  certificate.

  taName provides the X.500 distinguished name associated with the
  trust anchor, and this distinguished name is used to construct and
  validate an X.509 certification path.  The name MUST NOT be an empty
  sequence.

  certificate provides an OPTIONAL X.509 certificate, which can be used
  in some environments to represent the trust anchor in certification
  path development and validation.  If the certificate is present, the
  subject name in the certificate MUST exactly match the X.500



Housley, et al.              Standards Track                    [Page 4]

RFC 5914                           TAF                         June 2010


  distinguished name provided in the taName field, the public key MUST
  exactly match the public key in the pubKey field, and the
  subjectKeyIdentifier extension, if present, MUST exactly match the
  key identifier in the keyId field.  The complete description of the
  syntax and semantics of the Certificate are provided in [RFC5280].
  Constraints defined in the policySet, policyFlags, nameConstr,
  pathLenConstraint, and exts fields within TrustAnchorInfo replace
  values contained in a certificate or provide values for extensions
  not present in the certificate.  Values defined in these
  TrustAnchorInfo fields are always enforced.  Extensions included in a
  certificate are enforced only if there is no corresponding value in
  the TrustAnchorInfo.  Correspondence between extensions within
  certificate and TrustAnchorInfo fields is defined as follows:

  o  an id-ce-certificatePolicies certificate extension corresponds to
     the CertPathControls.policySet field.

  o  an id-ce-policyConstraints certificate extension corresponds to
     the CertPolicyFlags.inhibitPolicyMapping and
     CertPolicyFlags.requireExplicitPolicy fields.

  o  an id-ce-inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension corresponds to the
     CertPolicyFlags.inhibitAnyPolicy field.

  o  an id-ce-nameConstraints certificate extension corresponds to the
     CertPathControls.nameConstr field.

  o  the pathLenConstraint field of an id-ce-basicConstraints
     certificate extension corresponds to the
     CertPathControls.pathLenConstraint field (the presence of a
     CertPathControls structure corresponds to a TRUE value in the cA
     field of a BasicConstraints extension).

  o  any other certificate extension corresponds to the same type of
     extension in the TrustAnchorInfo.exts field.

   CertificatePolicies ::= SEQUENCE SIZE (1..MAX) OF PolicyInformation

   PolicyInformation ::= SEQUENCE {
     policyIdentifier  CertPolicyId,
     policyQualifiers  SEQUENCE SIZE (1..MAX) OF
                             PolicyQualifierInfo OPTIONAL }

   CertPolicyId ::= OBJECT IDENTIFIER

  policySet is OPTIONAL.  When present, it contains a sequence of
  certificate policy identifiers to be provided as inputs to the
  certification path validation algorithm.  When absent, the special

RFC 5914                           TAF                         June 2010


  value any-policy is provided as the input to the certification path
  validation algorithm.  The complete description of the syntax and
  semantics of the CertificatePolicies are provided in [RFC5280],
  including the syntax for PolicyInformation.  In this context, the
  OPTIONAL policyQualifiers structure MUST NOT be included.

   CertPolicyFlags ::= BIT STRING {
     inhibitPolicyMapping   (0),
     requireExplicitPolicy  (1),
     inhibitAnyPolicy       (2) }

  policyFlags is OPTIONAL.  When present, three Boolean values for
  input to the certification path validation algorithm are provided in
  a BIT STRING.  When absent, the input to the certification path
  validation algorithm is { FALSE, FALSE, FALSE }, which represents the
  most liberal setting for these flags.  The three bits are used as
  follows:

     inhibitPolicyMapping indicates if policy mapping is allowed in the
     certification path.  When set to TRUE, policy mapping is not
     permitted.  This value represents the initial-policy-mapping-
     inhibit input value to the certification path validation algorithm
     described in Section 6.1.1 of [RFC5280].

     requireExplicitPolicy indicates if the certification path MUST be
     valid for at least one of the certificate policies in the
     policySet.  When set to TRUE, all certificates in the
     certification path MUST contain an acceptable policy identifier in
     the certificate policies extension.  This value represents the
     initial-explicit-policy input value to the certification path
     validation algorithm described in Section 6.1.1 of [RFC5280].  An
     acceptable policy identifier is a member of the policySet or the
     identifier of a policy that is declared to be equivalent through
     policy mapping.  This bit MUST be set to FALSE if policySet is
     absent.

     inhibitAnyPolicy indicates whether the special anyPolicy policy
     identifier, with the value { 2 5 29 32 0 }, is considered an
     explicit match for other certificate policies.  This value
     represents the initial-any-policy-inhibit input value to the
     certification path validation algorithm described in Section 6.1.1
     of [RFC5280].

   NameConstraints ::= SEQUENCE {
     permittedSubtrees  [0] GeneralSubtrees OPTIONAL,
     excludedSubtrees   [1] GeneralSubtrees OPTIONAL }

   GeneralSubtrees ::= SEQUENCE SIZE (1..MAX) OF GeneralSubtree



Housley, et al.              Standards Track                    [Page 6]

RFC 5914                           TAF                         June 2010


   GeneralSubtree ::= SEQUENCE {
     base     GeneralName,
     minimum  [0] BaseDistance DEFAULT 0,
     maximum  [1] BaseDistance OPTIONAL }

   BaseDistance ::= INTEGER (0..MAX)

  nameConstr is OPTIONAL.  It has the same syntax and semantics as the
  Name Constraints certificate extension [RFC5280], which includes a
  list of permitted names and a list of excluded names.  The definition
  of GeneralName can be found in [RFC5280].  When it is present,
  constraints are provided on names (including alternative names) that
  might appear in subsequent X.509 certificates in a certification
  path.  This field is used to set the initial-permitted-subtrees and
  initial-excluded-subtrees input values to the certification path
  validation algorithm described in Section 6.1.1 of [RFC5280].  When
  this field is absent, the initial-permitted-subtrees variable is
  unbounded and the initial-excluded-subtrees variable is empty.

  The pathLenConstraint field gives the maximum number of non-self-
  issued intermediate certificates that may follow this certificate in
  a valid certification path.  (Note: The last certificate in the
  certification path is not an intermediate certificate and is not
  included in this limit.  Usually, the last certificate is an end
  entity certificate, but it can be a CA certificate.)  A
  pathLenConstraint of zero indicates that no non-self-issued
  intermediate certification authority (CA) certificates may follow in
  a valid certification path.  Where it appears, the pathLenConstraint
  field MUST be greater than or equal to zero.  Where pathLenConstraint
  does not appear, no limit is imposed.

  When the trust anchor is used to validate a certification path,
  CertPathControls provides limitations on certification paths that
  will successfully validate.  An application that is validating a
  certification path SHOULD NOT ignore these limitations, but the
  application can impose additional limitations to ensure that the
  validated certification path is appropriate for the intended
  application context.  As input to the certification path validation
  algorithm, an application MAY:

  o  Provide a subset of the certification policies provided in the
     policySet;

  o  Provide a TRUE value, if appropriate, for any of the flags in the
     policyFlags;

  o  Provide a subset of the permitted names provided in the
     nameConstr;

RFC 5914                           TAF                         June 2010


  o  Provide additional excluded names to the ones that are provided in
     the nameConstr;

  o  Provide a smaller value for pathLenConstraint.

2.6.  Extensions

  exts is OPTIONAL.  When it is present, it can be used to associate
  additional information with the trust anchor using the standard
  Extensions structure.  Extensions that are anticipated to be widely
  used have been included in the CertPathControls structure to avoid
  overhead associated with use of the Extensions structure.  To avoid
  duplication with the CertPathControls field, the following types of
  extensions MUST NOT appear in the exts field and are ignored if they
  do appear: id-ce-certificatePolicies, id-ce-policyConstraints, id-ce-
  inhibitAnyPolicy, or id-ce-nameConstraints.

3.  Trust Anchor List

  TrustAnchorInfo allows for the representation of a single trust
  anchor.  In many cases, it is convenient to represent a collection of
  trust anchors.  The TrustAnchorList structure is defined for this
  purpose.  TrustAnchorList is defined as a sequence of one or more
  TrustAnchorChoice objects.  TrustAnchorChoice provides three options
  for representing a trust anchor.  The certificate option allows for
  the use of a certificate with no additional associated constraints.
  The tbsCert option allows for associating constraints by removing a
  signature on a certificate and changing the extensions field.  The
  taInfo option allows for use of the TrustAnchorInfo structure defined
  in this document.

  TrustAnchorList ::= SEQUENCE SIZE (1..MAX) OF TrustAnchorChoice

  TrustAnchorChoice ::= CHOICE {
     certificate  Certificate,
     tbsCert      [1] EXPLICIT TBSCertificate,
     taInfo       [2] EXPLICIT TrustAnchorInfo }

   trust-anchor-list PKCS7-CONTENT-TYPE ::=
      { TrustAnchorList IDENTIFIED BY id-ct-trustAnchorList }

  The TrustAnchorList structure can be protected using the SignedData
  structure defined in the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS)
  [RFC5652].  The id-ct-trustAnchorList object identifier has been
  defined to represent TrustAnchorList payloads with CMS structures.

4.  Security Considerations

  Compromise of a trust anchor private key permits unauthorized parties
  to masquerade as the trust anchor, with potentially severe
  consequences.  Where TA-based constraints are enforced, the
  unauthorized holder of the trust anchor private key will be limited
  by the certification path controls associated with the trust anchor,
  as expressed in the certPath and exts fields.  For example, name
  constraints in the trust anchor will determine the name space that
  will be accepted in certificates that are validated using the
  compromised trust anchor.  Reliance on an inappropriate or incorrect
  trust anchor public key has similar potentially severe consequences.

  The compromise of a CA's private key leads to the same type of
  problems as the compromise of a trust anchor private key.  The
  unauthorized holder of the CA private key will be limited by the
  certification path controls associated with the trust anchor, as
  expressed in the certPath field or as an extension.

  Usage of a certificate independent of the TrustAnchorInfo structure
  that envelopes it must be carefully managed to avoid violating
  constraints expressed in the TrustAnchorInfo.  When enveloping a
  certificate in a TrustAnchorInfo structure, values included in the
  certificate should be evaluated to ensure there is no confusion or
  conflict with values in the TrustAnchorInfo structure.
