ABSTRACT

   The Independent Data Unit Protection Generic Security Service
   Application Program Interface (IDUP-GSS-API) extends the GSS-API
   [RFC-1508] for applications requiring protection of a generic data
   unit (such as a file or message) in a way which is independent of the
   protection of any other data unit and independent of any concurrent
   contact with designated "receivers" of the data unit.  Thus, it is
   suitable for applications such as secure electronic mail where data
   needs to be protected without any on-line connection with the
   intended recipient(s) of that data.  Subsequent to being protected,
   the independent data unit can be transferred to the recipient(s) - or
   to an archive - perhaps to be processed only days or years later.

   This document is a companion document to IDUP-GSS-API [IDUP] and
   IDUP: C-bindings [IDUP-C].  It provides a PEM-based [RFC-1421]
   mechanism for IDUP (analogous to [Kerb5] or [SPKM] which provide
   underlying mechanisms for [GSS]).  This mechanism specifies both
   encapsulation and non-encapsulation procedures for creating PEM
   messages.  If encapsulation is chosen by the calling application,
   then the PIM implementation creates true PEM messages.  On the other
   hand, if encapsulation is not chosen, then the PIM implementation
   performs the canonicalization, security, and encoding (see
   [RFC-1421]) aspects of PEM, returning to the caller a true PEM header
   and transportable data; applications wishing to build PEM messages
   must then concatenate the header and the encoded IDU with the
   necessary delimiters and CRLFs to complete PEM message construction.

1. INTRODUCTION

   The Independent Data Unit Protection Generic Security Service
   Application Program Interface (IDUP-GSS-API) [IDUP] provides security
   services to calling applications in a local environment.  This
   PEM-Based IDUP Mechanism (PIM) allows an application to "protect" an
   independent data unit (IDU) for future use and to "unprotect" a
   protected IDU, applying security services such as confidentiality,
   integrity and data origin authentication on a per-data-unit basis.

   There are four stages to using the IDUP-GSS-API:

   (a) The application acquires a set of credentials with which it may
       bind its identity to a data unit.  The application's credentials
       vouch for its global identity, which may or may not be related to
       the local username under which it is running.

   (b) The application establishes a security environment using its
       credentials.  The security environment contains whatever
       information is necessary in order to provide per-IDU security
       services.

   (c) Per-IDU calls are invoked to provide one or both of the
       following for PEM-based IDU protection:
         - data origin authentication with data integrity;
         - data confidentiality.
       The application wishing to "protect" an IDU will call the
       protection set of IDUP-GSS-API routines, specifying the
       appropriate security environment.  The recipient (wishing to
       "unprotect" the data") will pass the protected IDU (P-IDU) to
       the unprotection set of routines to remove the protection and/or
       to validate the data.

   (d) At the completion of a security environment (which may extend
       across several protection and unprotection operations), the
       application calls an IDUP-GSS-API routine to abolish the security
       environment.


2. INDEPENDENT DATA UNIT PROTECTION MECHANISM

2.1. Protection Token

   A P-IDU is a caller-opaque data structure that PIM uses to store
   protection information regarding an IDU.  It is an OCTET STRING
   generated during the protection set of calls for use by PIM or by
   another mechanism during the unprotection set of calls.  If
   encapsulation is requested by the calling application, then the P-IDU
   consists entirely of the contents of the pidu_buffer, output_buffer,
   and final_pidu_buffer parameters used in the IDUP protection set of
   calls.  If encapsulation is not used, the P-IDU consists of the
   logical concatenation of the unencapsulated_token parameter in each
   Prot_Service parameter bundle, the contents of the midu_buffer,
   output_buffer, and final_midu_buffer parameters, and other
   PEM-specific delimiter values (see Section 4.1 below).

2.2. Security Services

   PIM makes use of the security services given in Section 1(c) above.
   The security services "proof of origin" and "service solicitation"
   (such as a request for "proof of delivery"), as defined in [IDUP],
   are not included in this PEM-based IDUP mechanism.  Receipt
   generation and processing are beyond the scope of [RFC-1421] and
   other types of non-repudiable evidence generation and processing are
   not addressed in this version of PIM but may be included in future
   versions of this specification.


2.3. IDUP Parameter Bundle Uses and Defaults

   The following parameter bundle uses and defaults are specified.


   Mech_Specific_Info
      - NOT USED (the only acceptable input, therefore, is NULL)

   Idu_Sensitivity
      - NOT USED (the only acceptable input, therefore, is NULL)

   Service_Creation_Info
      - NOT USED (the only acceptable input, therefore, is NULL)

   Service_Verification_Info
      - NOT USED (the only acceptable input, therefore, is NULL)

   Quality
      - the qop_algs parameter is supported.  For PIM implementation and
        interoperability purposes, the following qop_algs values are
        defined.
         * For the Confidentiality MA field:  0001 (1) = DES-CBC
           (this is also defined to be the TS "DEFAULT" conf. alg.).
         * For the Integrity MA field:        0001 (1) = RSA-MD5
           (this is also defined to be the TS "DEFAULT" int. alg.).
      - the parameters validity, policy_id, and allow_policy_mapping
        are NOT USED (NULLs are therefore the only acceptable input)

   Idu_Information
      - the idu_type parameter must have a value representing "RFC822"
        or any other valid PEM "Content-Domain" (the DEFAULT value is
        specified to be "RFC822");
      - the idu_title parameter is NOT USED (the only acceptable input,
        therefore, is NULL)










Adams                Document Expiration:  15 Aug. 1996                3

   Prot_Information
      - the originator_name and idu_type (in Idu_Information) parameters
        are read from the PEM header information and are output by
        IDUP_Start_Unprotect.  The originator_name parameter shall be
        formatted as follows (specified in the descriptive grammar BNF;
        see [RFC-822] and Section 4.1 below):
           <originator-name>    ::=
              [<entity-id>] CRLF
              [<issuing-auth>] CRLF
              [<version-expiration>] CRLF
           <entity-id>          ::= 1*(<ia-char> / ",")
           <issuing-auth>       ::= 1*(<ia-char> / ",")
           <version-expiration> ::= 1*(<ia-char> / ",")
        The actual values for <originator-name> may be read directly
        from the P-IDU (if <origid-symm> or <origid-asymm> are present)
        or may be extracted from the originator's certificate (if <cert>
        is present).
      - all other parameters are NOT USED (and therefore NULL)

   Special_Conditions
      - NOT USED (the only acceptable input, therefore, is NULL)

   Target_Info
      - this bundle is used as described in IDUP; no DEFAULT values are
        specified

   General_Service_Data
      - the unencapsulated_token parameter is used if
        encapsulation_request is FALSE;
      - the minor_status parameter is used to return minor status values
        as specified in Section 5 below.

   Prot_Service
      - the prot_service_type parameter may have a value of "1"
        ("perform unsolicited service") or NULL (which specifies the
        DEFAULT value of "1");
      - the service_id parameter must have a value representing
        "PER_CONF" or "PER_DOA";
      - the parameters Service_Creation_Info, service_to,
        Service_Verification_Info, and service_verification_info_id are
        NOT USED (and therefore NULL)

   Unprot_Service
      - the unprot_service_type parameter will always have a value of
        "1" ("receive unsolicited service");
      - the service_id parameter will have a value representing
        "REC_CONF" or "REC_DOA";
      - the parameters service_verification_info_id,
        Service_Verification_Info, service_to, and
        Service_Creation_Info, are NOT USED (and therefore NULL)

3. SUMMARY OF TRANSFORMATIONS

   If confidentiality is applied during the IDUP protection set of
   calls, then the following composition of transformations is applied
   to the IDU for full PEM compliance; see [RFC-1421] for definitions of
   "encode" and "canonicalize":

      Transmit_Form = Encode(Encrypt(Canonicalize(Local_Form)))


   The inverse transformations are performed, in reverse order, to
   unprotect the IDU:

      Local_Form = DeCanonicalize(Decipher(Decode(Transmit_Form))).


   If confidentiality is not applied (i.e., data origin authentication
   with data integrity alone is applied), then the IDU goes through the
   following operation:

      Transmit_Form = Canonicalize(Local_Form)


   Again, this needs to be inverted by the receiver:

      Local_Form = DeCanonicalize(Transmit_Form).


   It is the responsibility of the underlying PIM implementation to
   perform all transformations given in this section (regardless of
   whether or not encapsulation is requested by the calling application)
   unless the transformation is unnecessary (e.g., the input data is
   already in canonical form).

   Note that the Local_Form and the functions to transform messages to
   and from Canonical_Form may vary between the protector and
   unprotector systems provided there is no loss of information.



4. TOKEN FORMAT

   This section discusses protocol-visible characteristics of PIM; it
   defines elements of protocol for interoperability and is independent
   of any IDUP language bindings.

   The PIM IDUP-GSS-API mechanism will be identified by an Object
   Identifier representing "PIM" , having the value:

      { iso(1) org(3) dod(5) internet(1) security(5) PIM(xx) }

   The token transferred between IDUP-GSS-API peers (for IDU protection
   and unprotection purposes) is defined.

4.1. The Protected-IDU (P-IDU) Token

   The OCTET STRING "protpart" conforms to the Privacy Enhanced Mail
   header format described in [RFC-1421].  The Protected-IDU (P-IDU) is
   the concatenation of protpart and the "idupart" (which may be the
   canonicalized, encoded version of the original IDU or, if
   confidentiality was applied, the encrypted IDU).  If encapsulation
   is requested by the calling application, this concatenation is
   handled entirely by the PIM implementation and the application
   needs to deal only with the resulting pidu_buffer output parameters
   from the protection set of calls.

   If encapsulation is not requested, the calling application (not the
   PIM implementation) is responsible for the creation of the P-IDU from
   the protpart and the idupart.  In this case, the protpart is supplied
   by PIM in the unencapsulated_token parameter of one of the
   Prot_Service parameter bundles (either bundle can be chosen if both
   PER_CONF and PER_DOA are requested) and idupart is supplied in the
   midu_buffer parameters.  For example, to create a true PEM message,
   the application would concatenate the pre-Encapsulation-Boundary
   delimiter ("-----BEGIN PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----"), CRLF,
   protpart, CRLF, idupart, the post-Encapsulation-Boundary delimiter
   ("-----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----"), and a final CRLF.  (Note
   that the PIM implementation must perform canonicalization and message
   encoding (as per [RFC-1421], Section 4.3.2.4), as required, as part
   of the protection process.)

   In this section both idupart and protpart are specified in the
   descriptive grammar BNF.
