Internet-Draft Portable Symmetric Key Container July 2008
Abstract
This document specifies a symmetric key format for transport and
provisioning of symmetric keys (for example One Time Password (OTP)
shared secrets or symmetric cryptographic keys) to different types of
crypto modules such as a strong authentication device. The standard
key transport format enables enterprises to deploy best-of-breed
solutions combining components from different vendors into the same
infrastructure.
This work is a joint effort by the members of OATH (Initiative for
Open AuTHentication) to specify a format that can be freely
distributed to the technical community. The authors believe that a
common and shared specification will facilitate adoption of two-
factor authentication on the Internet by enabling interoperability
between commercial and open-source implementations.

Internet-Draft Portable Symmetric Key Container July 2008
1. Introduction
With increasing use of symmetric key based authentication systems
such as systems based one time password (OTP) and challenge response
mechanisms, there is a need for vendor interoperability and a
standard format for importing, exporting or provisioning symmetric
keys from one system to another. Traditionally authentication server
vendors and service providers have used proprietary formats for
importing, exporting and provisioning these keys into their systems
making it hard to use tokens from vendor A with a server from vendor
B.
This Internet draft describes a standard format for serializing
symmetric keys such as OTP shared secrets for system import, export
or network/protocol transport. The goal is that the format will
facilitate dynamic provisioning and transfer of symmetric keys such
as OTP shared secrets or encryption keys of different types. In the
case of OTP shared secrets, the format will facilitate dynamic
provisioning using an online provisioning protocol to different
flavors of embedded tokens or allow customers to import new or
existing tokens in batch or single instances into a compliant system.
This draft also specifies the key attributes required for computation
such as the initial event counter used in the HOTP algorithm [HOTP].
It is also applicable for other time-based or proprietary algorithms.
To provide an analogy, in public key environments the PKCS#12 format
[PKCS12] is commonly used for importing and exporting private keys
and certificates between systems. In the environments outlined in
this document where OTP keys may be transported directly down to
smartcards or devices with limited computing capabilities, a format
with small (size in bytes) and explicit shared secret configuration
attribute information is desirable, avoiding complexity of PKCS#12.
For example, one would have to use opaque data within PKCS#12 to
carry shared secret attributes used for OTP calculations, whereas a
more explicit attribute schema definition is better for
interoperability and efficiency.

3. Use Cases
This section describes a comprehensive list of use cases that
inspired the development of this specification. These requirements
were used to derive the primary requirement that drove the design.
These requirements are covered in the next section.
These use cases also help in understanding the applicability of this
specification to real world situations.
3.1. Online Use Cases
This section describes the use cases related to provisioning the keys
using an online provisioning protocol such as [DSKPP]
3.1.1. Transport of keys from Server to Cryptomodule
For example, a mobile device user wants to obtain a symmetric key for
use with a cryptomodule on the device. The cryptomodule client from
vendor A initiates the provisioning process against a provisioning
system from vendor B using a standards-based provisioning protocol
such as [DSKPP]. The provisioning entity delivers one or more keys
in a standard format that can be processed by the mobile device.
For example, in a variation of the above, instead of the user's
mobile phone, a key is provisioned in the user's soft token
application on a laptop using a network-based online protocol. As
before, the provisioning system delivers a key in a standard format
that can be processed by the soft token on the PC.
For example, the end-user or the key issuer wants to update or
configure an existing key in the cryptomodule and requests a
replacement key container. The container may or may not include a
new key and may include new or updated key attributes such as a new
counter value in HOTP key case, a modified response format or length,
a new friendly name, etc.
3.1.2. Transport of keys from Cryptomodule to Cryptomodule
For example, a user wants to transport a key from one cryptomodule to
another. There may be two cryptographic modules, one on a computer
one on a mobile phone, and the user wants to transport a key from the
computer to the mobile phone. The user can export the key and
related data in a standard format for input into the other
cryptomodule.
Hoyer, et al. Expires January 15, 2009 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft Portable Symmetric Key Container July 2008
3.1.3. Transport of keys from Cryptomodule to Server
For example, a user wants to activate and use a new key and related
data against a validation system that is not aware of this key. This
key may be embedded in the cryptomodule (e.g. SD card, USB drive)
that the user has purchased at the local electronics retailer. Along
with the cryptomodule, the user may get the key on a CD or a floppy
in a standard format. The user can now upload via a secure online
channel or import this key and related data into the new validation
system and start using the key.
3.1.4. Server to server Bulk import/export of keys
From time to time, a key management system may be required to import
or export keys in bulk from one entity to another.
For example, instead of importing keys from a manufacturer using a
file, a validation server may download the keys using an online
protocol. The keys can be downloaded in a standard format that can
be processed by a validation system.
For example, in a variation of the above, an OTA key provisioning
gateway that provisions keys to mobile phones may obtain key material
from a key issuer using an online protocol. The keys are delivered
in a standard format that can be processed by the key provisioning
gateway and subsequently sent to the end-user's mobile phone.
3.2. Offline Use Cases
This section describes the use cases relating to offline transport of
keys from one system to another, using some form of export and import
model.
3.2.1. Server to server Bulk import/export of keys
For example, cryptomodules such as OTP authentication tokens, may
have their symmetric keys initialized during the manufacturing
process in bulk, requiring copies of the keys and algorithm data to
be loaded into the authentication system through a file on portable
media. The manufacturer provides the keys and related data in the
form of a file containing records in standard format, typically on a
CD. Note that the token manufacturer and the vendor for the
validation system may be the same or different. Some crypto modules
will allow local PIN management (the device will have a PIN pad)
hence random initial PINs set at manufacturing should be transmitted
together with the respective keys they protect.
For example, an enterprise wants to port keys and related data from
Hoyer, et al. Expires January 15, 2009 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft Portable Symmetric Key Container July 2008
an existing validation system A into a different validation system B.
The existing validation system provides the enterprise with a
functionality that enables export of keys and related data (e.g. for
OTP authentication tokens) in a standard format. Since the OTP
tokens are in the standard format, the enterprise can import the
token records into the new validation system B and start using the
existing tokens. Note that the vendors for the two validation
systems may be the same or different.

Internet-Draft Portable Symmetric Key Container July 2008
4. Requirements
This section outlines the most relevant requirements that are the
basis of this work. Several of the requirements were derived from
use cases described above.
R1: The format MUST support transport of multiple types of
symmetric keys and related attributes for algorithms including
HOTP, other OTP, challenge-response, etc.
R2: The format MUST handle the symmetric key itself as well of
attributes that are typically associated with symmetric keys.
Some of these attributes may be
* Unique Key Identifier
* Issuer information
* Algorithm ID
* Algorithm mode
* Issuer Name
* Key friendly name
* Event counter value (moving factor for OTP algorithms)
* Time value
R3: The format SHOULD support both offline and online scenarios.
That is it should be serializable to a file as well as it
should be possible to use this format in online provisioning
protocols such as [DSKPP]
R4: The format SHOULD allow bulk representation of symmetric keys
R5: The format SHOULD allow bulk representation of PINs related to
specific keys
R6: The format SHOULD be portable to various platforms.
Furthermore, it SHOULD be computationally efficient to process.
R7: The format MUST provide appropriate level of security in terms
of data encryption and data integrity.
Hoyer, et al. Expires January 15, 2009 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft Portable Symmetric Key Container July 2008
R8: For online scenarios the format SHOULD NOT rely on transport
level security (e.g., SSL/TLS) for core security requirements.
R9: The format SHOULD be extensible. It SHOULD enable extension
points allowing vendors to specify additional attributes in the
future.
R10: The format SHOULD allow for distribution of key derivation data
without the actual symmetric key itself. This is to support
symmetric key management schemes that rely on key derivation
algorithms based on a pre-placed master key. The key
derivation data typically consists of a reference to the key,
rather than the key value itself.
R11: The format SHOULD allow for additional lifecycle management
operations such as counter resynchronization. Such processes
require confidentiality between client and server, thus could
use a common secure container format, without the transfer of
key material.
R12: The format MUST support the use of pre-shared symmetric keys to
ensure confidentiality of sensitive data elements.
R13: The format MUST support a password-based encryption (PBE)
[PKCS5] scheme to ensure security of sensitive data elements.
This is a widely used method for various provisioning
scenarios.
R14: The format SHOULD support asymmetric encryption algorithms such
as RSA to ensure end-to-end security of sensitive data
elements. This is to support scenarios where a pre-set shared
encryption key is difficult to use.

pskc:ExtensionType, which contains an optional attribute
'defintion' that can have a URI pointing at the defintion of the
extension. In this way groups of extension can be bundled under a
subelement. For example:

5.3.1. DeviceInfo
The DeviceInfo represents an extensible set of elements that form the
identifying criteria to uniquely identify the device that contains
the associated keys. Since devices can come in different form
factors such as hardware tokens, smart-cards, soft tokens in a mobile
phone or PC etc this element allows different criteria to be used.
Combined though the criteria MUST uniquely identify the device. For
example for hardware tokens the combination of SerialNo and
Manufacturer will uniquely identify a device but not SerialNo alone
since two different token manufacturers might issue devices with the
same serial number (similar to the IssuerDN and serial number of a
certificate). Symmetric Keys used in the payment industry are
usually stored on Integrated Circuit Smart Cards. These cards are
uniquely identified via the Primary Account Number (PAN, the long
number printed on the front of the card) and an expiry date of the
card. DeviceInfo is an extensible type that allows all these
different ways to uniquely identify a specific key containing device.
The DeviceInfo is defined as follows:
<xs:complexType name="DeviceInfoType">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="Manufacturer" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="SerialNo" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="Model" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
<xs:element name="IssueNo" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
<xs:element name="DeviceBinding" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
<xs:element name="StartDate" type="xs:dateTime" minOccurs="0"/>
<xs:element name="ExpiryDate" type="xs:dateTime" minOccurs="0"/>
<xs:element name="Extensions"
type="pskc:ExtensionsType" minOccurs="0"
maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
The elements of DeviceInfo have the following meanings:
o <Manufacturer> (MANDATORY), the manufacturer of the device.
Hoyer, et al. Expires January 15, 2009 [Page 18]
Internet-Draft Portable Symmetric Key Container July 2008
o <SerialNo> (MANDATORY), the serial number of the device or the PAN
(primary account number) in case of payment smart cards.
o <Model> (OPTIONAL), the model of the device (e.g. one-button-HOTP-
token-V1)
o <IssueNo> (OPTIONAL), the issue number in case of smart cards with
the same PAN, equivalent to a PSN (PAN Sequence Number).
o <DeviceBinding> (OPTIONAL), the identifier that can be used to
bind keys to the device or class of device. When loading keys
into a device, this identifier can be checked against information
obtained from the device to ensure that the correct device or
class of device is being used.
o <StartDate> (OPTIONAL), the start date of a device (such as the
one on a payment card, used when issue numbers are not printed on
cards). MUST be expressed in UTC form, with no time zone
component. Implementations SHOULD NOT rely on time resolution
finer than milliseconds and MUST NOT generate time instants that
specify leap seconds.
o <ExpiryDate> (OPTIONAL), the expiry date of a device (such as the
one on a payment card, used when issue numbers are not printed on
cards). MUST be expressed in UTC form, with no time zone
component. Implementations SHOULD NOT rely on time resolution
finer than milliseconds and MUST NOT generate time instants that
specify leap seconds.
o <Extensions> (OPTIONAL), is the extension point for this entity.
All extensions are grouped under this element and will be of type
pskc:ExtensionType, which contains an optional attribute
'defintion' that can have a URI pointing at the defintion of the
extension. In this way groups of extension can be bundled under a
subelement. For example:
<Extensions>
<MyExtension1

5.4. Key
The Key represents the key entity in the KeyContainer. The Key is
defined as follows:
Hoyer, et al. Expires January 15, 2009 [Page 19]
Internet-Draft Portable Symmetric Key Container July 2008
<xs:complexType name="KeyType">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="Issuer" type="xs:string"
minOccurs="0"/>
<xs:element name="Usage" type="pskc:UsageType"
minOccurs="0"/>
<xs:element name="KeyProfileId" type="xs:string"
minOccurs="0"/>
<xs:element name="MasterKeyId" type="xs:string"
minOccurs="0"/>
<xs:element name="FriendlyName" type="xs:string"
minOccurs="0"/>
<xs:element name="Data" type="pskc:KeyDataType"
minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/>
<xs:element name="PINPolicy"
type="pskc:PINPolicyType" minOccurs="0"/>
<xs:element name="StartDate" type="xs:dateTime"

use="required"/>
<xs:attribute name="KeyAlgorithm"
type="pskc:KeyAlgorithmType" use="optional"/>
<xs:attribute name="KeyProperties" type="xs:IDREF"
use="optional"/>
</xs:complexType>
The attributes of the Key entity have the following meanings:
o KeyId (MANDATORY), a unique and global identifier of the symmetric
key. The identifier is defined as a string of alphanumeric
characters. This identifier SHOULD be valid globally and outside
of the instance document of the container.
o KeyAlgorithm (OPTIONAL), the unique URI of the type of algorithm
to use with the secret key, for profiles are described in
Section 6.3
o KeyProperties (OPTIONAL), the references to the unique id of the
KeyProperties whose value the instance of this key inherits. If
Hoyer, et al. Expires January 15, 2009 [Page 20]
Internet-Draft Portable Symmetric Key Container July 2008
this value is set implementation MUST lookup the Keyproperties
element referred to by this unique Id and this instance of key
will inherit all values from the KeyProperties. Values held in
the key instance MUST take precedence over values inherited from
KeyProperties."/>
The elements of the Key entity have the following meanings:
o <Issuer> (OPTIONAL), The key issuer name, this is normally the
name of the organization that issues the key to the end user of
the key. For example MyBank issuing hardware tokens to their
retail banking users 'MyBank' would be the issuer. The Issuer is
defined as a String.
o <Usage> (OPTIONAL), defines the intended usage of the key and
related metadata as defined in Section 5.4.2
o <KeyProfileId> (OPTIONAL), A unique identifier used between the
sending and receiving party of the container to establish a set of
constant values related to a key that are not transmitted via the
container. For example a smart card application personalisation
profile id related to attributes present on a smart card
application that have influence when computing a response. An
example could be an EMV MasterCard CAP [CAP] application on a card
personalised with data for a specific batch of cards such as:
IAF Internet authentication flag
CVN Cryptogram version number, for example (MCHIP2, MCHIP4,
VISA 13, VISA14)
AIP (Application Interchange Profile), 2 bytes
TVR Terminal Verification Result, 5 bytes
CVR The card verification result

These values are not contained within attributes in the container
but are shared between the manufacturing and the validation
service through this unique KeyProfileId. The KeyProfileId is
defined as a String.
o <MasterKeyId> (OPTIONAL), The unique reference to an external
master key when key derivation schemes are used and no specific
key is transported but only the reference to the master key used
to derive a specific key and some derivation data (e.g. the
PKCS#11 key label in an HSM).
o <FriendlyName> (OPTIONAL), The user friendly name that is assigned
to the secret key for easy reference. The FriendlyName is defined
as a String.
o <Data> (OPTIONAL), the element carrying the data related to the
key as defined in Section 5.4.1
o <PINPolicy> (OPTIONAL), the policy of the PIN relating to the
usage of this key as defined in Section 5.4.4
o <StartDate> (OPTIONAL), the start date of the key, it MUST not be
possible to use this key before this date. MUST be expressed in
UTC form, with no time zone component. Implementations SHOULD NOT
rely on time resolution finer than milliseconds and MUST NOT
generate time instants that specify leap seconds.
o <ExpiryDate> (OPTIONAL), the expiry date of the key, it MUST not
be possible to use this key after this date. MUST be expressed in
UTC form, with no time zone component. Implementations SHOULD NOT
rely on time resolution finer than milliseconds and MUST NOT
generate time instants that specify leap seconds.
o <UserId> (OPTIONAL), identifies the user account (e.g. username or
user id) to which the key is assigned. The value MAY be a string
representation of a Distinguished Name as defined in [RFC4514].
For example "UID=jsmith,DC=example,DC=net". In systems where
unique user Ids are used the string representation
'UID=[uniqueId]' SHOULD be used.
o <Extensions> (OPTIONAL), is the extension point for this entity.
All extensions are grouped under this element and will be of type
pskc:ExtensionType, which contains an optional attribute
'defintion' that can have a URI pointing at the defintion of the
Hoyer, et al. Expires January 15, 2009 [Page 22]
Internet-Draft Portable Symmetric Key Container July 2008
extension. In this way groups of extension can be bundled under a
subelement. For example:
<Extensions>
<MyExtension1
definition="http://ACME/MyExtension1.html">blah</Myextension1>
<YourExtension99>blahblah</YourExtension99>
</Extensions>
5.4.1. KeyData
Defines an extensible set of data elements relating to a key
including the key value itself (secret). After considerable
discussions in forums and at IETF the authors needed a mean to convey
data related to a key in an extensible form. The requirements were
that the data elements could be encrypted but not via XML encryption
which was deemed to complex because of canonicalization. Hence
earlier drafts made use of a list of name value pairs. This was not
considered to be very XML like and also lacked inbuilt support for
typing. Hence the current apporach is to have within KeyData a set
of elements that have both typing and can be encrypted.
All elements within Data hence obey a simple structure in that they
MUST have:
a choice between:
A <PlainValue> element that is typed to the specific type (e.g.
xs:integer)
An <EncryptedValue> element that is of type xenc:EncryptedDataType
where the value of the specific element is placed in case it is
encrypted
an optional <ValueMac> element that is populated with a MAC in case
the encryption algorithm does not support integrity checks
For example the pskc:intDataType is defined as follows:
Hoyer, et al. Expires January 15, 2009 [Page 23]
Internet-Draft Portable Symmetric Key Container July 2008
<xs:complexType name="intDataType">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:choice>
<xs:element name="PlainValue"
type="xs:int"/>
<xs:element name="EncryptedValue"
type="xenc:EncryptedDataType"/>
</xs:choice>
<xs:element name="ValueMAC"
type="xs:base64Binary" minOccurs="0"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
The following typed base types have been defined within the current
schema of the PSKC spec with the naming convention <type>DataType
(e.g. intDataType) to be able to cater transmission of key data
elements:
pskc:intDataType - to carry data elements of type integer,
PlainValue sub element is of type xs:integer. When encrypted the
binary value MUST be 4 bytes unsigned integer in big endian (i.e.
network byte order) form
pskc:longDataType - to carry data elements of type long,
PlainValue sub element is of type xs:long. When encrypted the
binary value MUST be 8 bytes unsigned integer in big endian (i.e.
network byte order) form
pskc:binaryDataType - to carry data elements of type binary,
PlainValue sub element is of type xs:Base64Binary
pskc:stringDataType - to carry data elements of type string,
PlainValue sub element is of type xs:string. When encrypted the
binary value MUST UTF-8 encoded string in binary form
Therefore the KeyData element is defined as follows and contains sub
ements to convey the values required by algorithms considered during
the definition of this specification:
Hoyer, et al. Expires January 15, 2009 [Page 24]
Internet-Draft Portable Symmetric Key Container July 2008
<xs:complexType name="KeyDataType">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="Secret" type="pskc:binaryDataType"

<xs:element name="Time" type="pskc:intDataType"
minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/>
<xs:element name="TimeInterval" type="pskc:intDataType"

<xs:element name="TimeDrift" type="pskc:intDataType"
minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/>
<xs:any namespace="##other" minOccurs="0"
maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
The elements of the Data element have the following meanings:
o <Secret> (OPTIONAL), the value of the key itself in binary.
o <Counter> (OPTIONAL), the event counter for event based OTP
algorithms.
o <Time> (OPTIONAL), the time for time based OTP algorithms. (If
time interval is used, this element carries the number of time
intervals passed from a specific start point, normally algorithm
dependent)
o <TimeInterval> (OPTIONAL), the time interval value for time based
OTP algorithms.
o <TimeDrift> (OPTIONAL), the device clock drift value for time
based OTP algorithms. The value indicates number of seconds that
the device clock may drift each day.
o <xs:any ..> the extension point for carrying future elements.
Please note that all elements added MUST carry PlainValue and
EncryptedValue sub eleemnts as described above.
5.4.2. Usage
The Usage element defines the usage attribute(s) of the key entity.
Usage is defined as follows:
Hoyer, et al. Expires January 15, 2009 [Page 25]

many times (for devices with PIN-input capability)
The <Extensions> (OPTIONAL) element, is the extension point for the
Usage entity. All extensions are grouped under this element and will
be of type pskc:ExtensionType, which contains an optional attribute
'defintion' that can have a URI pointing at the defintion of the

of a computation. This defines the format of the OTP or of the
response to a challenge. For cases where the key is a PIN value,
this element contains the format of the PIN itself (e.g. DECIMAL,
length 4 for a 4 digit PIN). The Response attribute is defined by
the following attributes:
o Format (MANDATORY), defines the format of the response generated
by the device and MUST be one of the values defined in

5.4.4. PINPolicy
The PINPolicy element provides an extensible mean to define how the
usage of a specific key is protected by a PIN. The PIN itself can be
transmitted as a key using the container.
If the PINPolicy element is present in the Key element then the key
is protected with a PIN as defined within the PINPolicy element. The
PINPolicy element also has an extension point defined as xs:any to
allow future extensibility
PINPolicy is defined as follows:
Hoyer, et al. Expires January 15, 2009 [Page 29]

The attributes of PINPolicy have the following meaning
o PINKeyId (OPTIONAL), the unique key Id of the key held within this
container that contains the value of the PIN that protects the key
The elements of PINPolicy have the following meaning
o <PINUsageMode> (MANDATORY) , the way the PIN is used during the
usage of the key as defined in Section 5.4.4.1
o <MaxFailedAttempts> (OPTIONAL), the maximum number of times the
PIN can be entered wrongly before it MUST not be possible to use
the key anymore
o <MinLength> (OPTIONAL), the minimum lenght of a PIN that can be
set to protect this key. It MUST not be possible to set a PIN
shorter than this value. If the Format element is 'DECIMAL',
'HEXADECIMAL' or 'ALPHANUMERIC' this value indicates the number of
digits/characters. If the Format attribute is 'BASE64' or
'BINARY', this value indicates the number of bytes of the
unencoded value.
o <MaxLength> (OPTIONAL), the maximum lenght of a PIN that can be
set to protect this key. It MUST not be possible to set a PIN
longer than this value. If the Format element is 'DECIMAL',
'HEXADECIMAL' or 'ALPHANUMERIC' this value indicates the number of

o <Format> (OPTIONAL), defines the format of the PIN and MUST be one
of the values defined in Section 5.4.3
o <Extensions> (OPTIONAL) element, is the extension point for the
entity. All extensions are grouped under this element and will be
of type pskc:ExtensionType, which contains an optional attribute
'defintion' that can have a URI pointing at the defintion of the
extension. In this way groups of extension can be bundled under a
subelement. For example:
<Extensions>
<MyExtension1
definition="http://ACME/MyExtension1.html">blah</Myextension1>
<YourExtension99>blahblah</YourExtension99>
</Extensions>
5.4.4.1. PINUsageMode
The PINUsageMode element defines how the PIN is used with a specific
key. The PINUsageMode element also has an extension point defined as
xs:any to allow future extensibility
PINUsageMode is defined as follows:

<xs:element name="Append"/>
<xs:element name="Algorithmic"/>
<xs:any namespace="##other" processContents="lax"
minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
</xs:choice>
</xs:complexType>
The elements of PINPolicy have the following meaning
o <Local>, the PIN is checked locally on the device before allowing
the key to be used in executing the algorithm
o <Prepend>, the PIN is prepended to the OTP or response hence it
MUST be checked by the validation server
o <Append>, the PIN is appended to the OTP or response hence it MUST
be checked by the validation server

6. Usage and profile of algorithms for the portable symmetric key
container
This section details the use of the XML encryption and XML signature
elements to protect the keys transported in the container. It also
profiles the number of algorithms supported by XML encryption and XML
signature to a mandatory subset for interoperability.
When no algorithm is provided the values within the container are
unencrypted, implementations SHALL ensure the privacy of the key data
through other standard mechanisms e.g. transport level encryption.
6.1. Usage of EncryptionKey to protect keys in transit
The EncryptionKey element in the KeyContainer defines the key,
algorithm and parameters used to encrypt the Secret Key data
attributes in the Container. The standard schema [XMLENC] is adopted
in carry such information and an encrypted value. The encryption is
applied on each individual Secret Key data in the Container. The
encryption method MUST be the same for all Secret Key data in the
container.
The following sections define specifically the different supported
means to protect the keys:
6.1.1. Protecting keys using a pre-shared key via symmetric algorithms
When protecting the payload with pre-shared keys implementations
SHOULD set the name of the specific pre-shared key in the KeyName
element of the EncryptionKey of the KeyContainer. For example:
<KeyContainer Version="1.0"
xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:keyprov:pskc:1.0"
xmlns:ds="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#"
xmlns:xenc="http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#">
<EncryptionKey>
<ds:KeyName>PRE_SHARED_KEY</ds:KeyName>
</EncryptionKey>
....
The following is the list of symmetric key encryption algorithm and
possible parameters used to protect the Secret Key data in the
container. Systems implementing PSKC MUST support the MANDATORY
algorithms detailed below.
The encryption algorithm URI can be one of the following.
Hoyer, et al. Expires January 15, 2009 [Page 33]
Internet-Draft Portable Symmetric Key Container July 2008
o http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#tripledes-cbc - MANDATORY
o http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#aes128-cbc - MANDATORY
o http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#aes192-cbc - OPTIONAL
o http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#aes256-cbc - MANDATORY
o http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#kw-tripledes - MANDATORY
o http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#kw-aes128 - MANDATORY
o http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#kw-aes256 - MANDATORY
o http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#kw-aes512 - OPTIONAL
When algorithms without integrity checks are used (e.g.
http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#aes256-cbc) a keyed MAC value using
the same key as the encryption key SHOULD be placed in the ValueMAC
element of the Data element. In this case the MAC algorithm type
MUST be set in the MACAlgorithm element in the key container entity
as defined in Section 5.1. Implementations of PSKC MUST support the
MANDATORY MAC algorithms detailed below. The MACAlgorithm URI can be
one of the following:
o http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#hmac-sha1 - MANDATORY
For example:
<KeyContainer Version="1.0"

The attributes of the DerivedKey have the following meanings:
o ID (OPTIONAL), the unique ID for this key
o Type (OPTIONAL), This attribute was included for conformance with
xml encryption, it is an optional attribute identifying type
information about the plaintext form of the encrypted content.
Please see [XMLENC] section 3.1 Type for more details.
The elements of the DerivedKey have the following meanings:
o <KeyDerivationMethod>: URI of the algorithms used to derive the
key e.g.

o <ReferenceList> (OPTIONAL): a list of IDs of the elements that
have been encrypted by this key
o <CarriedKeyName> (OPTIONAL): friendly name of the key
When using the PKCS5 PBE algorithm
(URI=http://www.rsasecurity.com/rsalabs/pkcs/schemas/pkcs-5#pbes2)
and related parameters, the DerivedKey element MUST be used within
the EncryptionKey element of the KeyContainer in exactly the form as

8.4. Symmetric Key Algorithm Identifier Registry
This specification requests the creation of a new IANA registry for
symmetric key cryptographic algorithm identifiers in accordance with
the principles set out in RFC 2434 [RFC2434]as follows:
8.4.1. Applicability
The use of URIs as algorithm identifiers provides an effectively
unlimited namespace. While this eliminates the possibility of
namespace exhaustion it creates a new concern, that divergent
identifiers will be employed for the same purpose in different
contexts.
The key algorithm registry is intended to provide a means of
specifying the canonical identifier to be used for a given algorithm.
If an algorithm has an identifier specified in the registry an
application that is conformant to a protocol specification that
specifies use of that registry to define identifiers SHOULD always
use that particular form of the identifier when originating data. A
conformant application MAY accept other identifiers in data that is
received.
For the sake of expediency, the initial registry only defines
algorithm classes for symmetric algorithms plus cryptographic message
digest functions (one-way hash). While the same principles may be
extended to asymmetric algorithms, doing so would require much
Hoyer, et al. Expires January 15, 2009 [Page 48]
Internet-Draft Portable Symmetric Key Container July 2008
greater consideration of issues such as key length and treatment of
parameters, particularly where elliptic curve cryptography algorithms
are concerned.
As part of this registry the IANA will maintain the following
information:
Common Name The name by which the algorithm is generally referred.
Class The type of algorithm, encryption, Message Authentication Code
(MAC), One Time Password (OTP), Digest, etc.
Canonical URI The canonical URI to be used to identify the
algorithm.
Algorithm Definition A reference to the document in which the
algorithm described by the identifier is defined.
Identifier Definition A reference to the document in which the use
of the identifier to refer to the algorithm is described. This
would ideally be the document in which the algorithm is defined.
In the case where the registrant does not request a particular
URI, the IANA will assign it a Uniform Resource Name (URN) that
follows RFC 3553 [RFC3553].
Note that where a single algorithm has different forms distinguished
by parameters such as key length, the algorithm class and each
combination of algorithm parameters may be considered a distinct
algorithm for the purpose of assigning identifiers.
8.4.2. Registerable Algorithms
8.4.2.1. Assigned URIs
If the registrant wishes to have a URI assigned, then a URN of the
form
urn:ietf:params:xml:<class>:<id>
will be assigned where <class> is the type of the algorithm being
identified (see below). <id> is a unique id specified by the party
making the request and will normally be either the common name of the
algorithm or an abbreviation thereof.
NOTE: in order for a URN of this type to be assigned, the item being
registered MUST have been through the IETF consensus process.
Basically, this means that it must be documented in a RFC.
Hoyer, et al. Expires January 15, 2009 [Page 49]
Internet-Draft Portable Symmetric Key Container July 2008
NOTE: Expert Review is sufficient in cases where the request does not
require a URN assignment in the IETF namespace. IETF consensus is
not required.
8.4.2.2. Assigned Classes
Each algorithm MUST belong to an assigned algorithm class. In the
case that additional classes are required these are to be specified
by IETF Consensus action.
The initial assigned classes are:
Digest A cryptographic Digest algorithm.
MAC A Message Authentication Code algorithm.
Symmetric A symmetric encryption algorithm.
OTP A one time password (OTP) algorithm.
8.4.3. Registration Procedures
8.4.3.1. Review
Algorithm identifier registrations are to be subject to Expert Review
as per RFC 2434 [RFC2434].
The need for supporting documentation for the registration depends on
the nature of the request. In the case of a cryptographic algorithm
that is being described for publication as an RFC, the request for a
URI allocation would normally appear within the RFC itself. In the
case of a cryptographic algorithm that is fully and comprehensively
defined in another form, it would not be necessary to duplicate the
information for the sake of issuing the information in the RFC
series. In other cases an RFC may be required in order to ensure
that certain algorithm parameters are sufficiently and unambiguously
defined.
The scope of such expert review is to be strictly limited to
identifying possible ambiguity and/or duplication of existing
identifiers. The expert review MUST NOT consider the cryptographic
properties, intellectual property considerations or any other factor
not related to the use of the identifier.
In reviewing a request, the expert should consider whether other URI
identifiers are already defined for a given algorithm. In such cases
it is the duty of the expert to bring the potential duplication to
the notice of the proposers of the registration and the Security Area
Hoyer, et al. Expires January 15, 2009 [Page 50]
Internet-Draft Portable Symmetric Key Container July 2008
Directors. If the proposers are not willing to accept registration
of the existing identifier the IETF Consensus policy is to apply.
In reviewing a request, the expert should consider whether the
algorithm is sufficiently defined to allow successful interoperation.
In particular the expert should consider whether issues such as key
sizes and byte order are sufficiently defined to allow for
interoperation.
While the definition requirement MAY be satisfed by a comprehensive
specification of the algorithm, disclosure of the algorithm is not
mandatory.
8.4.3.2. Canonical URI
Until the IANA requests or implements an automated process for the
registration of these elements, any specifications must make that
request part of the IANA considerations section of their respective
documents. That request must be in the form of the following
template:
Common Name The name by which the algorithm is generally referred.
Class The type of algorithm, encryption, Message Authentication Code
(MAC), One Time Password (OTP), Digest, etc. As specified by a
defined algorithm class.
URI The canonical URI to be used to identify the algorithm.
Algorithm Definition A reference to the document in which the
algorithm described by the identifier is defined.
Identifier Definition A reference to the document in which the use
of the identifier to refer to the algorithm is described. This
would ideally be the document in which the algorithm is defined.
Registrant Contact A reference to the document in which the use of
the identifier to refer to the algorithm is described. This would
ideally be the document in which the algorithm is defined.
8.4.3.3. Alias URI
In the case that multiple identifiers have been assigned to the same
identifiers, additional identifiers MAY be registered as aliases. An
entry for an alias contains all the entries for a canonical URI with
the addition of a reference to the canonical URI to be used:
Hoyer, et al. Expires January 15, 2009 [Page 51]
Internet-Draft Portable Symmetric Key Container July 2008
Alias for URI The canonical URI that identifies the algorithm. The
URI referenced MUST be a canonical URI.
In the case of dispute as to which URI is to be considered canonical
the matter is to be settled by IESG action.

9. Security Considerations
The portable key container carries sensitive information (e.g.,
cryptographic keys) and may be transported across the boundaries of
one secure perimeter to another. For example, a container residing
within the secure perimeter of a back-end provisioning server in a
secure room may be transported across the internet to an end-user
device attached to a personal computer. This means that special care
must be taken to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and
authenticity of the information contained within.
9.1. Payload confidentiality
By design, the container allows two main approaches to guaranteeing
the confidentiality of the information it contains while transported.
First, the container key data payload may be encrypted.
In this case no transport layer security is required. However,
standard security best practices apply when selecting the strength of
the cryptographic algorithm for payload encryption. Symmetric
cryptographic cipher should be used - the longer the cryptographic
key, the stronger the protection. At the time of this writing both
3DES and AES are mandatory algorithms but 3DES may be dropped in the
relatively near future. Applications concerned with algorithm
longevity are advised to use AES-256-CBC. In cases where the
exchange of encryption keys between the sender and the receiver is
not possible, asymmetric encryption of the secret key payload may be
employed. Similarly to symmetric key cryptography, the stronger the
asymmetric key, the more secure the protection is.
If the payload is encrypted with a method that uses one of the
password-based encryption methods provided above, the payload may be
subjected to password dictionary attacks to break the encryption
password and recover the information. Standard security best
practices for selection of strong encryption passwords apply
[Schneier].
Practical implementations should use PBESalt and PBEIterationCount
when PBE encryption is used. Different PBESalt value per key
container should be used for best protection.
The second approach to protecting the confidentiality of the payload
is based on using transport layer security. The secure channel
established between the source secure perimeter (the provisioning
server from the example above) and the target perimeter (the device
attached to the end-user computer) utilizes encryption to transport
the messages that travel across. No payload encryption is required
Hoyer, et al. Expires January 15, 2009 [Page 57]
Internet-Draft Portable Symmetric Key Container July 2008
in this mode. Secure channels that encrypt and digest each message
provide an extra measure of security, especially when the signature
of the payload does not encompass the entire payload.
Because of the fact that the plain text payload is protected only by
the transport layer security, practical implementation must ensure
protection against man-in-the-middle attacks [Schneier]. Validating
the secure channel end-points is critically important for eliminating
intruders that may compromise the confidentiality of the payload.
9.2. Payload integrity
The portable symmetric key container provides a mean to guarantee the
integrity of the information it contains through digital signatures.
For best security practices, the digital signature of the container
should encompass the entire payload. This provides assurances for
the integrity of all attributes. It also allows verification of the
integrity of a given payload even after the container is delivered
through the communication channel to the target perimeter and channel
message integrity check is no longer possible.
9.3. Payload authenticity
The digital signature of the payload is the primary way of showing
its authenticity. The recipient of the container may use the public
key associated with the signature to assert the authenticity of the
sender by tracing it back to a preloaded public key or certificate.
Note that the digital signature of the payload can be checked even
after the container has been delivered through the secure channel of
communication.
A weaker payload authenticity guarantee may be provided by the
transport layer if it is configured to digest each message it
transports. However, no authenticity verification is possible once
the container is delivered at the recipient end. This approach may
be useful in cases where the digital signature of the container does
not encompass the entire payload.
