1. Introduction
This document defines the symmetric key format content type. It is
transport independent. The Cryptographic Message Syntax [RFC3852] can
be used to digitally sign, digest, authenticate, or encrypt this
content type.
The uses cases that motivated this work are elaborated in [PSKC].
They are omitted to avoid duplication.
1.1. Requirements 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 [RFC2119].
1.2. ASN.1 Syntax Notation
The key package is defined using the ASN.1 [X.680, X.681, X.682,
X.683].
2. Symmetric Key Package Content Type
The symmetric key package content type is used to transfer one or
more plaintext symmetric keys from one party to another. A symmetric
key package MAY be encapsulated in one or more CMS protecting content
types. This content type must be DER encoded [X.690].
Turner & Housley Expires January 16, 2010 [Page 2]
Internet-Draft Symmetric Key Package Content Type July 2009
The symmetric key package content type has the following syntax:
PKCS7-CONTENT-TYPE ::= TYPE-IDENTIFIER
symmetric-key-package PKCS7-CONTENT-TYPE ::=
{ SymmetricKeyPackage IDENTIFIED BY id-ct-KP-sKeyPackage }
id-ct-KP-sKeyPackage OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= |
{ iso(1) member-body(2) us(840) rsadsi(113549) pkcs(1) pkcs9(9)
smime(16) ct(1) 25 }
SymmetricKeyPackage ::= SEQUENCE {
version KeyPkgVersion DEFAULT v1,
sKeyPkgAtts [0] SEQUENCE SIZE (1..MAX) OF Attribute OPTIONAL,
sKeys SymmetricKeys }
SymmetricKeys ::= SEQUENCE SIZE (1..MAX) OF OneSymmetricKey
OneSymmetricKey ::= SEQUENCE {
sKeyAttrs SEQUENCE SIZE (1..MAX) OF Attribute OPTIONAL,
sKey OCTET STRING OPTIONAL
-- At least sKeyAttrs or sKey MUST be present.
}
KeyPkgVersion ::= INTEGER { v1(1), ... }
The SymmetricKeyPackage fields are used as follows:
- version identifies version of the symmetric key package content
structure. For this version of the specification, the default
value, v1, MUST be used.
- sKeyPkgAttrs optionally provides attributes that apply to all of
the symmetric keys in the package. If an attribute appears here it
MUST NOT also be included in sKeyAttrs.
- sKeys contains a sequence of OneSymmetricKey values. This
structure is discussed below.
The OneSymmetricKey fields are used as follows:
- sKeyAttrs optionally provides attributes that apply to one
symmetric key. If an attribute appears here it MUST NOT also be
included in sKeyPkgAttrs.
- sKey optionally contains the key value encoded as an OCTET STRING.
Turner & Housley Expires January 16, 2010 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft Symmetric Key Package Content Type July 2009
The OneSymmetricKey field MUST include either sKeyAttrs, sKey, or
sKeyAttrs and sKey.
3. Security Considerations
The symmetric key package contents are not protected. This content
type can be combined with a security protocol to protect the contents
of the package.
4. IANA Considerations
None: All identifiers are already registered. Please remove this
section prior to publication as an RFC.
