1.3.1 Certification authorities

In this document the distinction is made between the term Certification Authority (CA) and Trust Service Provider. In international usage, "CA" is an umbrella term that refers to all entities authorized to issue, manage, revoke, and renew certificates. This can apply to the actual CA certificate as well as the organization. In this CP, the organization which holds a CA is refered to as a TSP. The term CA is used to refer to the infrastructure and keymaterial from which a TSP issues and signs certificates. This CP covers all certificates issued and signed by the following CAs hereinafter referred to as TSPs.

3.2.4 Non-verified subscriber information

Refer to Programme of Requirements part 3 Basic Requirements.

3.2.5 Validation of authority

3.2.5-pkio31 —

+————-+————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————+ | Description | The TSP has to verify that: | | | | | | - the proof that the certificate holder is authorized to receive a certificate on behalf of the subscriber, is authentic; | | | | | | - the certificate manager has received the consent of the subscriber to perform the actions that he has been asked to perform (if the certificate manager performs the registration process). | | | | | | - the requested certificate in combination with the permanently stored data in the certificate holder (device) contain information to be able to trace the following unequivocally: | | | | | | - the device's identity (e.g. manufacturer and serial number); | | | | | | - the proof that the device and its production process conform to the framework of standards established by the party responsible for establishing the framework. |

+=============+====================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================+ | Comment | The "certificate manager" who takes over those actions from the certificate holder does not necessarily have to be the same person as the person who produces or uses the certificate holder (the device). Also the knowledge of the activation data of the key material (for example PIN) can be shared by various people if the organization of the certificate management requires that. However, it is recommended that as few people as possible have knowledge of the PIN. It would also be wise to take measures that restrict access to the PIN. An example of this is placing the PIN in a safe to which only authorized persons can gain access in certain situations. | +————-+————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————+

3.2.5-pkio34 —

Description The agreement that the TSP enters into with the subscriber has to state that the subscriber is responsible for immediately informing the TSP of any relevant amendments to the relation between the subscriber and certificate manager and/or certificate holder (autonomous device).

PKIo, RFC 3739 UTF8String Name of the location MUST correspond with the address of the subscriber in accordance with the accepted document or registry.
Subject.postalAddress A The use is advised against. If present, this field MUST contain the postal address of the subscriber in accordance with an accepted document or Basic registry. PKIo, RFC 3739 UTF8String The address MUST correspond with the address of the subscriber in accordance with the accepted document or registry. | | | |
Subject.serialNumber O The TSP is responsible for safeguarding the uniqueness of the subject (device). The Subject.serialNumber MUST be used to identify the subject uniquely. RFC 3739, X 520, PKIo Printable String

The number is determined by the TSP and/or the government. The number can differ for each domain and can be used for several applications.

In addition to the definition in RFC 3739, the number MAY be added to, in order to identify as well as the subject, for example, the SUD.
Subject.title V/N MUST contain value from limitative list of professions in PoR requirement 3.2.5-pkio160. ETSI TS 102 280, RFC 3739, RFC 5280 This field SHALL only be used in certificates of the 'professional certificate' type.
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.

The digitalSignature bit MUST be included in authenticity certificates. Another keyUsage MAY NOT be combined with this.

In confidentiality certificates, the keyEncipherment and dataEncipherment bits MUST be included. Another keyUsage MAY NOT be combined with this.

In combination certificates the digitalSignature, keyEncipherment and keyAgreement bits MUST be incorporated and marked as critical. Another keyUsage MAY 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 IA5 String

For devices certificates in the Autonomous Devices domain, the OIDs are:

  • 2.16.528.1.1003.1.2.6.1, |

  • 2.16.528.1.1003.1.2.6.2 and |

  • 2.16.528.1.1003.1.2.6.3. |

A further restriction, if any, with regard to the use of the certificate MUST be included in the CPS which this extension references and are preferably also shown in the user note included for this extension.

Reference to the paragraph numbers of the PoR/CP in the user note is advised against because the persistency of this cannot be guaranteed (unlike the OID number of the CP).
SubjectAltName V No Contains one or more alternative names/identification numbers of the certificate holder RFC 5280, PKIo, ETSI 102 280 Attributes other than those mentioned below MUST NOT be used.
SubjectAltName.otherName V

MUST be used, containing a number that identifies the certificate holder (subject) globally.

In addition, in the authenticity certificate, as othername a PrincipalName (UPN) MAY be included for use with SSO (Single Sign On).

 RFC 4043, PKIo IA5String, Microsoft UPN, IBM Principal-Name or Permanent-Identifier Contains an OID assigned by PKIoverheid to the TSP (issuer) and a unique number within the namespace of that OID that will permanently identify the certificate holder (subject), in one of the following ways: | | 1. MS UPN: [number]@[OID] | | | 2. IA5String: [OID].[number] | | | 3. IA5String: [OID]-[number] | | | 4. Permanent Identifier: | | | > Identifiervalue = [number]  | > Assigner = [OID] | | Alternative 1. is also suitable for SSO (Single Sign On). 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. |
SubjectAltName.rfc822Name A MAY be used for the services e-mail address, for applications that need the e-mail address in order 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.
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 ("Subjecttype = 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 Yes / No RFC 5280 KeyPurposeIds See requirement 7.1-pkio151.
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.

Field / Attribute Criteria Critical? Description Standard reference Type Explanation
authorityInfoAccess accessMethod (id-ad-caIssuers) O An AccessDescription item with accessMethod id-ad-caIssuers references the online location where the certificate of the TSP CA that signed the current certificate (issue) is located. RFC 5280 URI

This attribute MUST include the URI of the relevant certificate file/object.

If this is an HTTP-URI, the file that is referenced:

is preferably a DER-coded CA certificate file,

that is seen by the relevant HTTP server as the type MIME "application/pkix-cert".
SubjectInfoAccess O No RFC 5280 OID, Generalname This field can be used to reference additional information about the subject.
