Programme of Requirements part 3g: Certificate Policy for Authenticity and Confidentiality certificates in Private Services (G1) Domain v4.7

Table of Contents

1 Introduction to the Certificate Policy

1.1 Overview

This is part 3g of the Programme of Requirements (PoR) for the PKI for the government and is known as the Certificate Policy (CP). Set out in the PoR are the standards for the PKI for the government. This section relates to the requirements laid down for the services of a Trust Service Provider (TSP) within the PKI for the government. Within the PKI for the government , a distinction is made between various root certificates and underlying domains. This document only relates to the services certificates issued by TSPs in the Private Services domain.

Certificates which are issued under the private root certificate are not publicly trusted by browsers or other applications. The scope of these certificates is primarily a closed usergroup within which an agreement has been reached regarding the use of the PKIoverheid Private Root.

This chapter includes a brief explanation of the CP. A more detailed explanation regarding the background and structure of the PKI for the government, as well as the cohesion between the various parts within the PoR is included in part 1 of the PoR.

For a list of the definitions and abbreviations used in this section, please refer to part 4 of the PoR.

1.1.1 Design of the Certificate Policy

As stated in part 1 of the PoR, the requirements that form part of the CP consist of requirements 1:

  • that ensue from the Dutch legal framework in relation to the electronic signature;

  • that ensue from the latest version of the ETSI EN 319 411-1 standard where the policy NCP+ is applicable, so that a SUD is used (ETSI CP OID 0.4.0.2042.1.2);

  • that are specifically drawn up by and for the PKIoverheid.

Incorporated in chapters 2 to 9 inclusive are references to the specific PKIoverheid requirements in the Additional Requirements. The table below shows the structure of the reference to the actual PKIoverheid requirement (PKIo requirement).

RFC 3647 Reference to the paragraph from the RFC 3647 structure to which the PKIo requirement relates. RFC 3647 is a PKIX framework of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and is the de facto standard for the structure of Certificate Policies and Certification Practice Statements2.
Number Unique number of the PKIo requirement. In each paragraph, consecutive numbering is used for the PKIo requirements. In combination with the RFC 3647 paragraph number, this forms a unique label for the PKIo requirement.

This CP also includes a number of provisions that are not formulated as PKIo requirements. These provisions do not make any demands on the TSPs within the PKI for the government, but do apply as a policy to the PKI for the government. This concerns provisions from paragraphs 1.1, 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 8, 9.12.1, 9.12.2, 9.14 and 9.17.

The profiles used within PKIoverheid relating to the services certificates are listed in appendix A. The status information is listed in the basic requirements.

1.1.2 Status

This is version 4.7 of part 3g of the PoR. The current version has been updated up to and including 8 February 2019.

The PA has devoted the utmost attention and care to the data and information incorporated in this CP. Nevertheless, it is possible that there are inaccuracies and imperfections. The PA accepts no liability for damage resulting from these inaccuracies or imperfections, nor is any liability assumed for damage caused by the use or distribution of this CP, if this CP is used for purposes other than for the use of certificates described in paragraph 1.4 of this CP.

1.2 References to this CP

Within the PKI for the government multiple root certificates are in use for the regular – publicly trusted – root, the TRAIL root, the EV root and the private – not publicly trusted – root. Each of these root certificates contains a hierarchy consisting of differen domains. Each domain has its own specific domain structure.

Furthermore these root certificates often have multiple active generations or versions (G1, G2, G3). In addition the different PKI for the government structures or roots are based both on the SHA-1 algorithm (regular root G1) and the SHA-256 algorithm (regular root G2 and G3).

Each type of certificate within PKIoverheid is uniquely identified by an OID. The OIDs of the Certificate Policies of this part of the Programme of Requirements are in accordance with the following schedule.

Private Services Domain:
OID CP
2.16.528.1.1003.1.2.8.4

for the authenticity certificate for services within the Private Services domain, that contains the public key for identification and authentication.

Under this OID OCSP certificates may be issued for use within the context of this CP part.

2.16.528.1.1003.1.2.8.5 for the confidentiality certificate for services within the Private Services domain, that contains the public key for confidentiality.

The OID is structured as follows: {joint-iso-itu-t (2). country (16). the Netherlands (528). Dutch organization (1). Dutch government (1003). PKI for the government (1). CP (2). private services domain (8). authenticity (4)/ confidentiality (5). version number}.

If requirements only apply to one or two types of certificates, this is expressly specified by stating the Object Identifier (OID) referencing the applicable CP or CPs.

1.3 User Community

Within the Private Services domain, the user community consists of subscribers who are organizational entities within the government and business community (see PKIo 3.2.2-pkio4) and of certificate holders, who also belong to these subscribers. In addition there are relying parties, who act with a reliance on certificates of the relevant certificate holders.

The parties within the user community are subscribers, certificate managers, certificate holders and relying parties.

  • A subscriber is a natural or legal personality who enters into an agreement with a TSP on behalf of one or more certificate holders for the certification of public keys.

  • A certificate holder is an entity, characterized in a certificate as the holder of the private key that is linked to the public key provided in the certificate. The certificate holder is part of an organizational entity, for which a subscriber is the contracting party.

    Within the Certificate Policy Services, the term certificate holder means:

    • a device or a system (a non-natural person), operated by or on behalf of an organizational entity; or

    • a function of an organizational entity.
      In this CP we use the name "service" for the foregoing certificate holders. To perform the actions in respect of the lifecycle of the certificate holder's certificate, intervention by a party other than the certificate holder is required. The subscriber is responsible for this and has to appoint a certificate manager to perform these actions.

  • A certificate manager is a natural personality who performs actions on behalf of the subscriber in respect of the certificate holder's certificate. The subscriber instructs the certificate manager to perform the relevant actions and records these in a certificate manager's testimony.

  • A relying party is every natural or legal personality who is a recipient of a certificate and who acts with a reliance on that certificate. Other than for personal certificates, relying parties mainly derive security from the connection of a service (device or feature) to the organizational entity to which the service belongs. The CP Services therefore places the emphasis on providing certainty about the connection of a message sent by or a web service provided by a device, system or (staff) position with the relevant organization. In view of this, establishing the identity of the certificate holder (device or feature) is less important than establishing the certificate holder's connection to the organizational entity.

1.4 Certificate Usage

The use of certificates issued under this CP relates to communication from certificate holders who act on behalf of the subscriber.

[OID 2.16.528.1.1003.1.2.8.4]

Authenticity certificates, issued under this CP, can be used to identify and authenticate, by electronic means, the service that is part of the organizational entity, which is responsible for the relevant service. Issuance of code signing certificates by means of which the integrity and authenticity of software can be safeguarded by a digital signature being placed are NOT allowed under this CP.

Under this OID OCSP responder certificates may be issued for use within the domain Private Services. Said certificates can be used to sign OCSP responses for use in the verification of the validity of the end user certificate. More information can be obtained in appendix A of the base requirements.

[OID 2.16.528.1.1003.1.2.8.5]

Confidentiality certificates, issued under this CP, can be used to protect the confidentiality of data that is exchanged and/or stored in an electronic format.

10 Appendix A Certificate profile

10.1 Profile of services authenticity and confidentiality certificates for the Private Services domain

10.1.1 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.

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'.

10.1.2 Basic attributes

Field / Attribute C r i t e r i a Description Standard r eference Type Explanation
Version V MUST be set at 2 (X.509v3). RFC 5280 Integer Describes the version of the certificate, the value 2 stands for X.509 version 3.

Issuer.org anizationIdentifier V The organizationIdentifier field contains an identification of the issuing CA. This field MUST be present when the subject .organizationIdentifier field is present in the TSP certificate and MUST NOT be present when this field is not part of the corresponding TSP certificate. EN 319 412-1 String

The syntax of the identification string is specified in paragraph 5.1.4 van ETSI EN 319 412-1 and contains:

• 3 character legal person identity type reference;

• 2 character ISO 3166 [2] country code;

• hyphen-minus "-" (0x2D (ASCII), U+002D (UTF-8)); and

Validity V MUST define the period of validity of the certificate according to RFC 5280. RFC 5280 UTCTime MUST include the start and end date for validity of the certificate in accordance with the applicable policy laid down in the CPS.
Subject V The attributes that are used to describe the subject (service) MUST mention the subject in a unique way and include information about the subscriber organization. The field has the following attributes: PKIo, RFC3739, ETSI TS 102 280 MUST contain a Distinguished Name (DN). Attributes other than those mentioned below MUST NOT be used.
Subject.countryName V complete C with two-letter country code in accordance with ISO 3166-1. If an official alpha-2 code is missing, the TSP MAY use the user-assigned code XX. RFC 3739, X520, ISO 3166, PKIo Printab leString The country code that is used in Subject.countryName MUST correspond with the subscriber's address in accordance with the accepted document or registry.
Subject.commonName V

Name that identifies the service.

In services certificates this field is compulsory

RFC 3739, ETSI TS 102 280, PKIo UT F8String Incorporated in the subject.commonname is the function of an organizational entity or the name by which the service, device or system is known. This MAY be a local domain name or host name.
Subje ct.organizationName V The full name of the subscriber's organization in accordance with the accepted document or Basic Registry. PKIo UT F8String The subscriber organization is the organization with which the TSP has entered into an agreement and on behalf of which the certificate holder (service/server) communicates or acts.
Subject.org anizationalUnitName O Optional specification of an organizational entity. This attribute MUST NOT include a function indication or similar. PKIo This attribute MAY appear several times. The field MUST contain a valid name of an organizational entity of the subscriber in accordance with an accepted document or registry.

If present, this field MUST contain the province in which the subscriber is established in accordance with an accepted document or Basic registry. PKIo, RFC 3739 UT F8String Name of the province MUST correspond with the address of the subscriber in accordance with the accepted document or registry.
S ubject.localityName A The use is advised against. If present, this field MUST contain the location of the subscriber in accordance with an accepted document or Basic registry. PKIo, RFC 3739 UT F8String Name of the location MUST correspond with the address of the subscriber in accordance with the accepted document or registry.
Su bject.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 UT F8String The address MUST correspond with the address of the subscriber in accordance with the accepted document or registry.
S ubject.serialNumber O The TSP is responsible for safeguarding the uniqueness of the subject (service). The Subject.serialNumber MUST be used to identify the subject uniquely. The use of 20 positions is only allowed for OIN and HRN after additional arrangements with Logius. RFC 3739, X 520, PKIo P rintable 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.
s ubjectPublicKeyInfo 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.

10.1.3 Standard extensions

Field / Attribute C r i t e r i a C r i t i c a l ? Description Standard r eference Type Explanation
aut horityKeyIdentifier V N o The algorithm to generate the AuthorityKey MUST be created on an algorithm determined by the PA. ETSI TS 102 280, RFC 5280 B itString The value MUST contain the SHA-1 hash from the authorityKey (public key of the TSP/CA).
S ubjectKeyIdentifier V N o The algorithm to generate the subjectKey MUST be created on an algorithm determined by the PA. RFC 5280 B itString The value MUST contain the SHA-1 hash from the subjectKey (public key of the certificate holder).
KeyUsage V Y e s

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.

RFC 3739, RFC 5280, ETSI TS 102 280 B itString
CertificatePolicies V N o 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, UT F8String or I A5String 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 N o MUST be used and given a worldwide unique number that identifies the service. RFC 4043, RFC 5280, PKIo, ETSI 102 280 MUST include a unique identifier in the othername attribute for services certificates. Attributes other than those mentioned below MUST NOT be used.
Sub jectAltName.dNSName V / N

Name that identifies the server.

In services authentication and confidentiality certificates this field MUST NOT be used.

RFC2818, RFC5280 I A5String The subscriber MUST prove that the organization is eliable to use the FQDN
Subje ctAltName.iPAddress N N o The public IP address that identifies the service. MUST NOT be used in services certificates RFC 5280, RFC 791, RFC 2460 Octet string
Subje ctAltName.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 IA 5String, M icrosoft UPN, IBM Princip al-Name, Kerberos Princ ipalName or Perm anent-Id entifier

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:

1. MS UPN: [number]@[OID]

2. MS UPN: [OID].[number]

3. IA5String: [OID]-[number]

4. Permanent Identifier:

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.

Subjec tAltName.rfc822Name A MAY be used for the service's e-mail address, for applications that need the e-mail address in order to be able to function properly. RFC 5280 I A5String 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 Y e s 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")

CR LDistributionPoints V N o 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 N o RFC 5280 KeyPurp oseId's See requirement 7.1-pkio150.
FreshestCRL O N o 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.

10.1.4 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.
