Appendix A: Certificate Profiles
Profile of the certificate for the Citizen domain
Criteria
When defining the fields and attributes within a certificate, the following codes are used:
V : Compulsory; indicates that the attribute is compulsory and MUST be used in the certificate.
O : Optional; indicates that the attribute is optional and MAY be used in the certificate.
A : Advised against; indicates that the attribute is advised against and SHOULD NOT be used in the certificate.
N: Is NOT ALLOWED.
It is not allowed to use fields that are not specified in the certificate profiles.
For the extensions, fields/attributes are used that, in accordance with international standards, are critical, are marked in the 'Critical' column with 'yes' to show that the relevant attribute MUST be checked using a process by means of which a certificate is evaluated. Other fields/attributes are shown with 'no'.
Naming convention Subject.commonName
The following requirements apply to the CommonName of the Subject field. The main principle is that the TSP is responsible for correct entry of the CommonName. For a correct implementation this entails that the TSP has to be able to check each part that is entered. The CommonName has the following format[1]:
[aristocratic designation] [Full first forename OR nickname] [initials other forenames OR full other forenames] [surname prefixes + surname partner '-'] [aristocratic title] [surname prefixes + surname at birth]
whereby:
text in bold = compulsory part, style in accordance with Compulsory Identification Act document or presented Local Council Personal Records Database extract
Italic = compulsory part, choice from two options (full forenames or initials)
normal = optional part; if present, the style has to be the same as the Compulsory Identification Act document or the presented Local Council Personal Records Database extract
In principle, the TSP decides whether or not optional parts are allowed. If it prefers, the TSP can leave the choice for an option to the subscriber or the party requesting the certificate. If the CommonName becomes too long for the number of characters that are allowed, optional parts have to be omitted (starting with the replacement of other forenames by initials from the last to the first position) until the name fits in the maximum field length.
[1] The presented order is not compulsory, the surname can also be given first followed by forenames/initials.

The certificate holder will have to submit recent proof of his address. |
Subject.postalAddress | A | The use is advised against. If present, this field MUST contain the certificate holders postal address in accordance with an accepted document or Basic registry. | PKIo, RFC 3739 | UTF8String | The address MUST correspond with the certificate holders address in accordance with the GBA. The certificate holder will have to submit recent proof of his address. |
Subject.serialNumber | V | Number to be determined by the TSP. The combination of CommonName and Serialnumber MUST be unique within the context of the TSP. | RFC 3739, X 520, PKIo | Printable String | The serial number is intended to enable a distinction to be made between subjects with the same commonName. To avoid susceptibilities a serial Number attribute MUST be allocated to every subject. |
subjectPublicKeyInfo | V | Contains, among other things, the public key. | ETSI TS 102 280, RFC 3279 | Contains the public key, identifies the algorithm with which the key can be used. |
Standard extensions
Field / Attribute | Criteria | Critical? | Description | Standard reference | Type | Explanation |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
authorityKeyIdentifier | V | No | The algorithm to generate the AuthorityKey MUST be created on an algorithm determined by the PA. | ETSI TS 102 280, RFC 5280 | BitString | The value MUST contain the SHA-1 hash from the authorityKey (public key of the TSP/CA). |
SubjectKeyIdentifier | V | No | The algorithm to generate the subjectKey MUST be created on an algorithm determined by the PA. | RFC 5280 | BitString | The value MUST contain the SHA-1 hash from the subjectKey (public key of the certificate holder). |
KeyUsage | V | Yes | The attribute extension specifies the intended purpose of the key incorporated in the certificate. In the PKI for the government, for each certificate type various bits are incorporated in the keyUsage extension. In authenticity certificates the digitalSignature bit MUST be incorporated and marked as being essential. Another keyUsage MUST NOT be combined with this. In confidentiality certificates, keyEncipherment and dataEncipherment bits MUST be incorporated and marked as being essential. Another keyUsage MUST NOT be combined with this. In certificates for the electronic signature the non-repudiation bit MUST be incorporated and marked as being essential. Another keyUsage MUST NOT be combined with this. |
RFC 3739, RFC 5280, ETSI TS 102 280 | BitString | |
CertificatePolicies | V | No | MUST contain the OID of the certificate policy (CP), the URI of the certification practice statement (CPS), and a user notice. The applicable PKI for the government OID scheme is described in the CP. The TSP SHOULD use UTF8String in the userNotice, but MAY use IA5String. | RFC 3739 | OID, String, UTF8String or IA5String | For the Citizen domain, the OIDs are: 2.16.528.1.1003.1.2.3.1, 2.16.528.1.1003.1.2.3.2 and 2.16.528.1.1003.1.2.3.3. Reference to the paragraph numbers of the PoR/CP in the user notice is advised against because the persistency of this cannot be guaranteed (unlike the OID number of the CP). |
SubjectAltName | V | No | MUST be used and given a personal worldwide unique identification number. | RFC 4043, RFC 5280, PKIo, ETSI 102 280 | MUST include a unique identifier in the othername attribute. Attributes other than those mentioned below MUST NOT be used. | |
SubjectAltName.otherName | V | MUST be used containing a unique identification number that identifies the certificate holder. An additional othername entry MAY be included in the authentication certificate for use with SSO (Single Sign On). |
PKIo | IA5String, Microsoft UPN, IBM Principal-Name, Kerberos PrincipalName or Permanent-Identifier | Includes an OID of the TSP awarded by the PA to the TSP and a number that is unique within the namespace of that OID that permanently identifies the subject, in one of the following ways:
Identifiervalue = [number] Assigner = [OID] Alternative 1. is also suitable for SSO. If a second othername for SSO is given in the certificate, the SSO othername MUST be given first in the SubjectAltName, before the PKIoverheid format othername described above, in order to ensure the proper operation of the SSO mechanism. It is recommended that an existing registration number from back office systems is used, in combination with a code for the organization. In combination with the TSP OID, this identifier is internationally unique. This number MUST be persistent. |
|
SubjectAltName.rfc822Name | A | MAY be used for the certificate holders e-mail address, for applications that need the e-mail address to be able to function properly. | RFC 5280 | IA5String | For PKIoverheid certificates, the use of e-mail addresses is advised against, because e-mail addresses of certificate holders often change and are susceptible to spam. If the e-mail address is included in the certificate, the TSP MUST:
|
|
BasicConstraints | O | Yes | The "CA" field MUST be omitted (default value is then "FALSE"). | RFC 5280 | A (Dutch language) browser can then be seen: "Subjecttype = Eindentiteit", "Beperking voor padlengte = Geen" ("Subject type = End Entity", "Path length constraint = None") |
|
CRLDistributionPoints | V | No | MUST include the URI of a CRL distribution point. | RFC 5280, ETSI TS 102 280 | The reference MUST be accessible through the http or LDAP protocol. The attribute Reason MUST NOT be used, reference MUST be made to 1 CRL for all types of reasons for revocation. In addition to CRL, other types of certificate status information service MAY be supported. | |
ExtKeyUsage | V | No | RFC 5280 | See requirement 7.1-pkio149 | ||
FreshestCRL | O | No | MUST contain the URI of a Delta CRL distribution point, if Delta CRLs are used. | RFC 5280, PKIo | Delta-CRLs are an optional extension. In order to fulfil the requirements of PKIoverheid a TSP MUST also publish full CRLs at the required release frequency. |
Private extensions
Field / Attribute | Criteria | Critical? | Description | Standard reference | Type | Explanation |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
authorityInfoAccess | O | No | This attribute MUST include the URI of an OCSP responder if Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) plays a role. | This field can optionally be used to reference other additional information about the TSP. | ||
SubjectInfoAccess | O | No | RFC 5280 | OID, Generalname | This field can be used to reference additional information about the subject, provided that the information that is offered does not infringe the privacy of the subject. | |
BiometricInfo | O | No | Contains the hash of a biometric template and optionally a URI that references a file with the biometric template itself. | RFC 3739 | ||
QcStatement | V/N | No | Certificates for the electronic signature MUST indicate that they are issued as qualified certificates complying with annex I of EU regulation 920/2014. This compliance is indicated by including the id-etsi-qcs-QcCompliance statement in this extension. Certificates for the electronic signature MUST indicate that they are issued as type of certificate complying with annex I of EU regulation 920/2014. This compliance is indicated by including the id-etsi-qct-esign statement in this extension. Certificates for the electronic signature MUST indicate that the private key that is part of the public key in the certificate is saved on a qualified signature creation device (QSCD) complying with annex II of EU regulation 920/2014. This compliance is indicated by including the id-etsi-qcs-QcSSCD statement in this extension. Certificates for the electronic signature MUST contain a reference to the location of the PKI Disclosure Statement (PDS). This URL must present in the id-etsi-qcs-QcPDS statement in this extension. The certificates for authenticity and the certificates for confidentiality MUST NOT use this extention. |
