Abstract

   This document defines a new CSR attribute, relatedCertRequest, and a
   new X.509 certificate extension, RelatedCertificate.  The use of the
   relatedCertRequest attribute in a CSR and the inclusion of the
   RelatedCertificate extension in the resulting certificate together
   provide additional assurance that two certificates each belong to the
   same end entity.  This mechanism is particularly useful in the
   context of non-composite hybrid authentication, which enables users
   to employ the same certificates in hybrid authentication as in
   authentication done with only traditional or post-quantum algorithms.

1.  Introduction

   The goal of this document is to define a method for providing
   assurance that multiple X.509 (aka PKIX) end-entity certificates are
   owned by the same entity, in order to perform multiple
   authentications where each certificate corresponds to a distinct
   digital signature.  This method aims to facilitate post-quantum (PQ)
   migration while minimizing changes to the certificate format
   [RFC5280] and to current PKI best practices.

   When using non-composite hybrid public key mechanisms, the party
   relying on a certificate (an authentication verifier or a key-
   establishment initiator) will want assurance that the private keys
   associated with each certificate are under the control of the same
   entity.  This document defines a certificate extension,
   RelatedCertificate, that signals that the certificate containing the
   extension is able to be used in combination with the other specified
   certificate.

Internet-Draft            Related Certificates             February 2023

   A certification authority (CA) organization that is asked to issue a
   certificate with such an extension may want assurance from a
   registration authority (RA) that the private keys (for example,
   corresponding to two public keys - one in an extant certificate, and
   one in a current request) belong to the same entity.  To facilitate
   this, a CSR attribute is defined, called relatedCertRequest, that
   permits an RA to make such an assertion.

1.1.  Overview

   The general roadmap of this design is best illustrated via an entity
   (device, service, user token, etc.) that has an existing traditional
   certificate and requests a new PQ certificate, perhaps as part of an
   organization’s migration to post-quantum cryptography.  After the PQ
   certificate is issued, the use of the PQ and traditional certificates
   will depend on the protocols it supports and the organization’s
   transition strategy.

   *  For protocols where authentication is not negotiated, and rather
      is limited by what the signer offers, such as in CMS and S/MIME,
      either the traditional signing key, the PQ signing key, or both
      signing keys may be invoked, according to which validators the
      signer anticipates.

   *  For protocols where authentication is negotiated in-protocol, such
      as TLS and IKEv2, either the traditional or PQ signing key may be
      invoked, according to the preference of the validator.  If the
      protocol is enabled to do so, peers may request that both
      traditional and PQ authentication are used.

   [It is possible for a strategy to comprise non-composite (such as
   described here) and composite schemes (as defined in
   [I-D.draft-ounsworth-pq-composite-sigs]).  Because the mechanisms
   described in this document are not intended to effect composite
   certificate issuance, we do not further explore such a strategy.]

   A validator that prefers multiple authentication types may be
   assisted by the inclusion of relevant information in the signer’s
   certificate – that is, information that indicates the existence of a
   related certificate, and some assurance that those certificates have
   been issued to the same entity.  This document describes a
   certificate request attribute and certificate extension that provide
   such assurance.

   To support this concept, this document defines a new CSR attribute,
   relatedCertRequest, which contains information on how to locate a
   previously issued certificate and provides evidence that the
   requesting entity owns that certificate.  When the RA makes the

Becker, et al.           Expires 28 August 2023                 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft            Related Certificates             February 2023

   request to the CA, the CA uses the given information to locate the
   traditional certificate and then verifies ownership before generating
   the PQ certificate.

1.2.  Use Case

   This document defines the relatedCertRequest CSR attribute and the
   RelatedCertificate extension for specific use within the migration
   and transition to PQ cryptography.  The intent is for a CA issuing a
   PQ certificate to add an X.509 extension that provides information
   about a traditional certificate in which the private key is under
   control of the same end entity as the PQ certificate, in order to
   facilitate a non-composite hybrid authentication mechanism.

   The purpose of the CSR attribute detailed in this document is to
   serve as a tool for the RA to provide assurance to the CA
   organization that the entity that controls the private key of the PQ
   certificate being requested also controls the private key of a
   previously-issued traditional certificate.  Similarly, the X.509
   extension discussed in this document creates an association between
   the PQ certificate and the traditional certificate via end-entity
   ownership.

   The attribute and subsequent extension together provide assurance
   from the CA organization that the same end-entity controls the
   private keys of both certificates.  It is neither a requirement nor a
   mandate that either certificate be used with the other; it is simply
   an assurance that they can be used together, as they are under the
   control of the same entity.

2.  Requirements Language

   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.  CSR and Related Certificates

3.1.  The relatedCertRequest Attribute

   This section defines a new CSR attribute designed to allow the RA to
   attest that the owner of the public key in the CSR also owns the
   public key associated with the end-entity certificate identified in
   this attribute.  The relatedCertRequest attribute indicates the
   location of a previously issued certificate that the end-entity owns
   and wants identified in the new certificate requested through the
   CSR.

Becker, et al.           Expires 28 August 2023                 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft            Related Certificates             February 2023

   The relatedCertRequest attribute has the following syntax:

   relatedCertRequest ATTRIBUTE ::= {
       WITH SYNTAX RequesterCertificate
       ID { TBD }
   }

   RequesterCertificate ::= SEQUENCE {
           certID        IssuerAndSerialNumber
           requestTime   BinaryTime
           locationInfo  AccessDescription
           signature     BIT STRING
   }

   The RequesterCertificate type has four fields:

   *  The certID field uses the IssuerAndSerialNumber type [RFC5652] to
      identify a previously issued end-entity certificate that the
      requesting entity also owns.  IssuerAndSerialNumber is repeated
      here for convenience:

   IssuerAndSerialNumber ::= SEQUENCE {
           issuer       Name,
           serialNumber CertificateSerialNumber }

   CertificateSerialNumber ::= INTEGER

   *  The requestTime field uses the BinaryTime type [RFC6019] in order
      to ensure freshness, such that the signed data can only be used at
      the time of the initial CSR.  The means by which the CA and RA
      synchronize time is outside the scope of this document.
      BinaryTime is repeated here for convenience:

   BinaryTime ::= INTEGER (0..MAX)

   *  The locationInfo field uses AccessDescription [RFC5280] to provide
      information on the location of the other certificate the
      requesting entity owns.  AccessDescription is repeated here for
      convenience:

   AccessDescription  ::= SEQUENCE {
           accessMethod id-ad-relatedCerts,
           accessLocation GeneralName }

   id-ad-relatedCerts OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { TBD }

Becker, et al.           Expires 28 August 2023                 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft            Related Certificates             February 2023

   The accessMethod value is id-ad-relatedCerts, which is used when the
   subject is an end-entity that owns certificates published in a
   repository.

   *  This document describes two acceptable values for accessLocation
      in the relatedCertRequest attribute; one value for when the same
      CA organization issues the PQ certificate and the referenced
      traditional certificate, and another value for when a different CA
      organization previously issued the traditional certificate.

      - If the CA organization is the same for both certificates, the
      accessLocation value SHOULD be available via HTTP or FTP, and
      therefore must be a URI that points to a file containing a
      certificate or certificate chain that the requesting entity owns,
      as detailed in [RFC5280].  The file must permit access to a PKCS#7
      ‘certs-only’ repository containing either a single DER encoded
      X.509 certificate or an entire certificate chain.

      - If the CA organization issuing the PQ certificate is not the
      same as the CA organization that issued the traditional
      certificate referenced in the CSR, then the accessLocation value
      URI MAY be a dataURI [RFC2397] containing inline degenerate PKCS#7
      consisting of all the certificates and CRLs required to validate
      the traditional certificate.  This allows validation without the
      CA organization having to retrieve certificates/CRLs from another
      CA.  Further discussion of requirements for this scenario is in
      Section 5.

   *  The signature field provides evidence that the requesting entity
      owns the certificate indicated by the certID.  Specifically, the
      signature field contains a digital signature over the
      concatenation of DER encoded requestTime and IssuerAndSerialNumber
      (without tag and length).  The concatenated value is signed using
      the signature algorithm and private key associated with the
      certificate identified by the certID field.

      - If the related certificate is a KE certificate, use the ECC KE
      private key to sign one time for POP (as detailed in NIST SP
      800-57 Part 1 Rev 5 Section 8.1.5.1.1.2)

   The validation of this signature by the CA ensures that the owner of
   the CSR also owns the certificate indicated in the relatedCertRequest
   attribute.

Internet-Draft            Related Certificates             February 2023

3.2.  CSR Processing

   The information provided in the relatedCertRequest attribute allows
   the CA to locate a previously issued certificate that the requesting
   entity owns, and verify ownership by using the public key in that
   certificate to validate the signature in the relatedCertRequest
   attribute.

   If a CA receives a CSR that includes the relatedCertRequest attribute
   is equipped to recognize and understand the attribute the CA:

   *  MUST retrieve and validate the certificate identified in the
      relatedCertRequest using the information provided in
      AccessDescription.  The CA then extracts the IssuerAndSerialNumber
      from the indicated certificate and compares this value against the
      IssuerAndSerialNumber provided in the certID field of
      relatedCertRequest.

   *  MUST check that the BinaryTime indicated in the requestTime field
      is sufficiently fresh.

   *  MUST verify the signature field of the relatedCertRequest
      attribute.  The CA validates the signature using the public key
      associated with the certificate it located via the info provided
      in the AccessDescription field.  The details of the validation
      process are outside the scope of this document.

   *  SHOULD issue the new certificate containing the RelatedCertificate
      extension as specified in Section 4, which references the
      certificate indicated in the attribute's IssuerAndSerialNumber
      field.

   The RA MUST only allow a previously issued certificate to be
   indicated in the relatedCertRequest attribute in order to enable the
   CA to perform the required signature verification.

   The RA MAY send the CA a CSR containing a relatedCertRequest
   attribute that includes the IssuerAndSerialNumber of a certificate
   that was issued by a different CA.

4.  Related Certificate

Internet-Draft            Related Certificates             February 2023

4.1.  The RelatedCertificate Extension

   This section profiles a new X.509v3 certificate extension,
   RelatedCertificate.  RelatedCertificate creates an association
   between the certificate containing the RelatedCertificate extension
   and the certificate referenced within the extension.  When two end-
   entity certificates are used in a protocol, where one of the
   certificates contains a RelatedCertificate extension that references
   another certificate, the authenticating entity is provided with
   additional assurance that all certificates belong to the same entity.

   The RelatedCertificate extension is an octet string that contains the
   hash of a single end-entity certificate.

   The RelatedCertificate extension has the following syntax:

   --  Object Identifiers for certificate extension
     id-relatedCertificate OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { TBD }

   --  X.509 Certificate extension
     RelatedCertificate ::= OCTET STRING
                   -- hash of entire related certificate }

   The extension is comprised of an octet string, which is the digest
   value obtained from hashing the entire related certificate identified
   in the CSR attribute defined above, relatedCertRequest.  The
   algorithm used to hash the certificate in the RelatedCertificate
   extension MUST match the hash algorithm used to sign the certificate
   that contains the extension.

   ED NOTE: We recognize the following SCVP structure from [RFC5055] may
   be preferable to defining a new extension, however, it adds extra
   bytes of options for the hash function that may be deemed unnecessary
   for the RelatedCertificates extension.  The structure is repeated
   here for convenience:

   SCVPCertID ::= SEQUENCE {
       certHash       OCTET STRING,
       IssuerSerial   SCVPIssuerSerial,
       hashAlgorithm  AlgorithmIdentifier DEFAULT {algorithm sha-1}}

   This extension SHOULD NOT be marked critical.  Marking this extension
   critical would severely impact interoperability.

   For certificate chains, this extension MUST only be included in the
   end-entity certificate.

Becker, et al.           Expires 28 August 2023                 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft            Related Certificates             February 2023

   For the RelatedCertificate extension to be meaningful, a CA that
   issues a certificate with this extension:

   *  MUST only include a certificate in the extension that is listed
      and validated in the relatedCertRequest attribute of the CSR
      submitted by the requesting entity.

   *  MUST ensure that all certificates are intended for the same use
      case.  For example, the CA must ensure that both certificates have
      the same key usage [RFC5280].  The intended purpose of the
      certificate may be determined by policy or other means (e.g KU,
      EKU OIDS) but this is outside the scope of this document.

   *  SHOULD determine that all certificates are valid at the time of
      issuance.  The usable overlap of validity periods is a Subscriber
      concern.

4.2.  Endpoint Protocol Multiple Authentication Processing

   When the preference to use a non-composite hybrid authentication mode
   is expressed by an endpoint through the protocol itself (e.g., during
   negotiation), the use of the RelatedCertificate extension and its
   enforcement are left to the protocol's native authorization mechanism
   (along with other decisions endpoints make about whether to complete
   or drop a connection).

   If an endpoint has indicated that it is willing to do non-composite
   hybrid authentication and receives the appropriate authentication
   data, it SHOULD check end-entity certificates for the
   RelatedCertificate extension.  If present in one certificate, it
   SHOULD:

   *  Compute the appropriate hash of the other end-entity certificate
      received.  The hash algorithm is the same as the one used to sign
      the certificate containing the extension.

   *  Verify that the hash value matches the hash entry in the
      RelatedCertificate extension.

   It is outside the scope of this document how to proceed with
   authentication based on the outcome of this verification process.
   Different determinations may be made depending on each peer’s policy
   regarding whether both or at least one authentication needs to
   succeed.

Internet-Draft            Related Certificates             February 2023

5.  CA Organization Considerations

   The relatedCertRequest CSR attribute provides assertion of end entity
   control of the private key of a related certificate to the CA
   organization.  There may arise scenarios where a public-facing CA
   organization is not configured to validate signatures associated with
   certificates that have been issued by a different CA organization.
   In this case, recognition of the contents in the relatedCertRequest
   attribute may be contingent upon a pre-arranged contract with pre-
   configured trust anchors from the other CA organization, and include
   agreements on certificate policy with regards to certificate
   application, issuance, and acceptance.  Further, matching policies
   between CA organizations on protection of private key may be
   necessary in order for the whole assurance level from the other CA
   organization to be accepted.

   In a similar vein, if the CA organization issuing the PQ certificate
   can recognize the relatedCertRequest attribute in the CSR and wishes
   to issue the certificate with the RelatedCerts extension, it may be
   the case that a different CA organization issued the related
   certificate referenced in the CSR.  In order to ensure that the
   certificates have been issued under homogeneous sets of security
   parameters, the certificate policies should be the same with regard
   to common security requirements.  The CA organizations should have
   the same certificate policy, with the same identifier, or there
   should exist a certificate policy mapping between the two, to ensure
   that the policies for protection of private key are equivalent.  The
   relatedCertRequest attribute and subsequent RelatedCertificate
   certificate extension are solely intended to provide assurance that
   both private keys are controlled by the same end entity.

6.  Security Considerations

   This document inherits security considerations identified in
   [RFC5280].

   The mechanisms described in this document provide only a means to
   express that multiple certificates are related.  They are intended
   for the interpretation of the recipient of the data in which they are
   embedded (i.e. a CSR or certificate).  They do not by themselves
   effect any security function.

   Authentication, unlike key establishment, is necessarily a one-way
   arrangement.  That is, authentication is an assertion made by a
   claimant to a verifier.  The means and strength of mechanism for
   authentication have to be to the satisfaction of the verifier.  A
   system security designer needs to be aware of what authentication
   assurances are needed in various parts of the system and how to

Becker, et al.           Expires 28 August 2023                [Page 10]
Internet-Draft            Related Certificates             February 2023

   achieve that assurance.  In a closed system (e.g.  Company X
   distributing firmware to its own devices) the approach may be
   implicit.  In an online protocol like IPsec where the peers are
   generally known, any mechanism selected from a pre-established set
   may be sufficient.  For more promiscuous online protocols, like TLS,
   the ability for the verifier to express what is possible and what is
   preferred – and to assess that it got what it needed – is important.

   A certificate is an assertion of binding between an identity and a
   public key.  However, that assertion is based on several other
   assurances – specifically, that the identity belongs to a particular
   physical entity, and that that physical entity has control over the
   private key corresponding to the public.  For any hybrid approach, it
   is important that there be evidence that the same entity controls all
   private keys at time of use (to the verifier) and at time of
   registration (to the CA).

   All hybrid implementations are vulnerable to a downgrade attack in
   which a malicious peer does not express support for PQ algorithms,
   resulting in an exchange that can only rely upon traditional
   algorithms for security.

   Implementors should be aware of risks that arise from the retrieval
   of a related certificate via the AccessDescription method provided in
   the relatedCertRequest CSR attribute, if the URI points to malicious
   code.  Implementors should ensure the data is properly formed and
   validate the retrieved data fully.

7.  IANA Considerations

   This document defines an extension for use with X.509 certificates.
   IANA is requested to register an OID in the PKIX certificate
   extensions arc [RFC7299]:

   id-relatedCert OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-pkix 1 tbd }

   with this document as the Required Specification.

   This document also defines a CSR attribute.  IANA is requested to
   register an OID:

   id-relatedCertRequest OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { tbd }

   An additional OID for a specific accessMethod is requested:

   id-ad-relatedCert OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { tbd }

Appendix A.  ASN.1 Module

   The following RelatedCertificate ASN.1 module describes the
   RequesterCertificate type found in the relatedCertAttribute.  It
   pulls definitions from modules defined in [RFC5912], and [RFC6268],
   and [RFC6019] for the AccessDescription type, IssuerAndSerialNumber
   type, and BinaryTime type, respectively.
