Expires November 21, 2005 [Page 2] + +Internet-Draft OCSP Support for PKINIT May 2005 + + +1. Introduction + + Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) [RFC2560] enables + applications to obtain timely information regarding the revocation + status of a certificate. Because OCSP responses are well-bounded and + small in size, constrained clients may wish to use OCSP to check the + validity of the certificates for Kerberos Key Distribution Center + (KDC) in order to avoid transmission of large Certificate Revocation + Lists (CRLs) and therefore save bandwidth on constrained networks + [OCSP-PROFILE]. + + This document defines a pre-authentication type [CLARIFICATIONS], + where the client and the KDC MAY piggyback OCSP responses for + certificates used in authentication exchanges, as defined in + [PKINIT]. + + By using this OPTIONAL extension, PKINIT clients and the KDC can + maximize the reuse of cached OCSP responses. + +2. Conventions Used in This Document + + 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]. + +3. Message Definition + + A pre-authentication type identifier is defined for this mechanism: + + PA-PK-OCSP-RESPONSE 18 + + The corresponding padata-value field [CLARIFICATIONS] contains the + DER [X60] encoding of the following ASN.1 type: + + PKOcspData ::= SEQUENCE OF OcspResponse + -- If more than one OcspResponse is + -- included, the first OcspResponse + -- MUST contain the OCSP response + -- for the signer's certificate. + + OcspResponse ::= OCTET STRING + -- Contains a complete OCSP response, + -- as defined in [RFC2560]. + + The client MAY send OCSP responses for certificates used in PA-PK-AS- + REQ [PKINIT] via a PA-PK-OCSP-RESPONSE. + + The KDC that receives a PA-PK-OCSP-RESPONSE then SHOULD send a PA-PK- + + + +Zhu, et al. Expires November 21, 2005 [Page 3] + +Internet-Draft OCSP Support for PKINIT May 2005 + + + OCSP-RESPONSE containing OCSP responses for certificates used in the + KDC's PA-PK-AS-REP. The client can request a PA-PK-OCSP-RESPONSE by + using a PKOcspData containing an empty sequence. + + The KDC MAY send a PA-PK-OCSP-RESPONSE when it does not receive a PA- + PK-OCSP-RESPONSE from the client. + + The PA-PK-OCSP-RESPONSE sent by the KDC contains OCSP responses for + certificates used in PA-PK-AS-REP [PKINIT]. + + Note the lack of integrity protection for the empty or missing OCSP + response; lack of an expected OCSP response from the KDC for the + KDC's certificates SHOULD be treated as an error by the client, + unless it is configured otherwise. + + When using OCSP, the response is signed by the OCSP server, which is + trusted by the receiver. Depending on local policy, further + verification of the validity of the OCSP servers may be needed + + The client and the KDC SHOULD ignore invalid OCSP responses received + via this mechanism, and they MAY implement CRL processing logic as a + fall-back position, if the OCSP responses received via this mechanism + alone are not sufficient for the verification of certificate + validity. The client and/or the KDC MAY ignore a valid OCSP response + and perform their own revocation status verification independently. + +4. Security Considerations + + The pre-authentication data in this document do not actually + authenticate any principals, but is designed to be used in + conjunction with PKINIT. + + There is no binding between PA-PK-OCSP-RESPONSE pre-authentication + data and PKINIT pre-authentication data other than a given OCSP + response corresponding to a certificate used in a PKINIT pre- + authentication data element. Attacks involving removal or + replacement of PA-PK-OCSP-RESPONSE pre-authentication data elements + are, at worst, downgrade attacks, where a PKINIT client or KDC would + proceed without use of CRLs or OCSP for certificate validation, or + denial of service attacks, where a PKINIT client or KDC that cannot + validate the other's certificate without an accompanying OCSP + response might reject the AS exchange or where they might have to + download very large CRLs in order to continue. Kerberos V does not + protect against denial-of-service attacks, therefore the denial-of- + service aspect of these attacks are acceptable. + + If a PKINIT client or KDC cannot validate certificates without the + aid of a valid PA-PK-OCSP-RESPONSE then it SHOULD fail the AS + + + +Zhu, et al.
