Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) S. Turner Request for Comments: 5940 IECA Category: Standards Track R. Housley ISSN: 2070-1721 Vigil Security August 2010 Additional Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) Revocation Information Choices Abstract The Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) allows revocation information to be conveyed as part of the SignedData, EnvelopedData, AuthenticatedData, and AuthEnvelopedData content types. The preferred format for revocation information is the Certificate Revocation List (CRL), but an extension mechanism supports other revocation information formats. This document defines two additional revocation information formats for Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) responses and Server-Based Certificate Validation Protocol (SCVP) requests and responses. Status of This Memo This is an Internet Standards Track document. This document is a product of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). It represents the consensus of the IETF community. It has received public review and has been approved for publication by the Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG). Further information on Internet Standards is available in Section 2 of RFC 5741.

Introduction The RevocationInfoChoices type defined in [CMS] provides a set of revocation status information alternatives, which allows revocation information to be conveyed as part of the SignedData, EnvelopedData, AuthenticatedData, and AuthEnvelopedData content types. The intent is to provide information sufficient to determine whether the certificates and attribute certificates carried elsewhere in the CMS- protected content have been revoked. There may be more revocation status information than necessary or there may be less revocation status information than necessary. X.509 Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) [PROFILE] are the primary source of revocation status information, but any other revocation information format can be supported. This document specifies two other formats: Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) responses [OCSP] and Server-Based Certificate Validation Protocol (SCVP) requests and responses [SCVP]. Section 2 discusses the RevocationInformation structure. Section 3 defines a mechanism to carry OCSP responses. Section 4 defines a mechanism to carry SCVP requests and responses. Appendix A provides the normative ASN.1 syntax for the two mechanisms. 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 [WORDS]. Turner & Housley Standards Track [Page 2] RFC 5940 Additional CMS Revocation Information Choices August 2010 2. Revocation Information For convenience, the ASN.1 definition of the RevocationInfoChoices type from [CMS] is repeated here: RevocationInfoChoices ::= SET OF RevocationInfoChoice RevocationInfoChoice ::= CHOICE { crl CertificateList, other [1] IMPLICIT OtherRevocationInfoFormat } OtherRevocationInfoFormat ::= SEQUENCE { otherRevInfoFormat OBJECT IDENTIFIER, otherRevInfo ANY DEFINED BY otherRevInfoFormat } The other CHOICE MUST be used to convey OCSP responses, SCVP requests, and SCVP responses. This document defines the id-ri arc under which the revocation information formats are defined. The id-ri object identifier is: id-ri OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) identified-organization(3) dod(6) internet(1) security(5) mechanisms(5) pkix(7) ri(16) }Show full document text
