1. Introduction

The Kerberos V5 protocol [RFC4120] involves use of a trusted third party known as the Key Distribution Center (KDC) to negotiate shared session keys between clients and services and provide mutual authentication between them. The corner-stones of Kerberos V5 are the Ticket and the Authenticator. A Ticket encapsulates a symmetric key (the ticket session key) in an envelope (a public message) intended for a specific service. The contents of the Ticket are encrypted with a symmetric key shared between the service principal and the issuing KDC. The encrypted part of the Ticket contains the client principal name, among other items. An Authenticator is a record that can be shown to have been recently generated using the ticket session key in the associated Ticket. The ticket session key is known by the client who requested the ticket. The contents of the Authenticator are encrypted with the associated ticket session key. The encrypted part of an Authenticator contains a timestamp and the client principal name, among other items. As shown in Figure 1, below, the Kerberos V5 protocol consists of the following message exchanges between the client and the KDC, and the client and the application service: - The Authentication Service (AS) Exchange The client obtains an "initial" ticket from the Kerberos authentication server (AS), typically a Ticket Granting Ticket (TGT). The AS-REQ message and the AS-REP message are the request and the reply message, respectively, between the client and the AS.
Top   ToC   RFC4556 - Page 3
    - The Ticket Granting Service (TGS) Exchange

      The client subsequently uses the TGT to authenticate and request a
      service ticket for a particular service, from the Kerberos
      ticket-granting server (TGS).  The TGS-REQ message and the TGS-REP
      message are the request and the reply message respectively between
      the client and the TGS.

    - The Client/Server Authentication Protocol (AP) Exchange

      The client then makes a request with an AP-REQ message, consisting
      of a service ticket and an authenticator that certifies the
      client's possession of the ticket session key.  The server may
      optionally reply with an AP-REP message.  AP exchanges typically
      negotiate session-specific symmetric keys.

   Usually, the AS and TGS are integrated in a single device also known
   as the KDC.

       Figure 1:  The Message Exchanges in the Kerberos V5 Protocol

   In the AS exchange, the KDC reply contains the ticket session key,
   among other items, that is encrypted using a key (the AS reply key)
   shared between the client and the KDC.  The AS reply key is typically
   derived from the client's password for human users.  Therefore, for
   human users, the attack resistance strength of the Kerberos protocol
   is no stronger than the strength of their passwords.
Top   ToC   RFC4556 - Page 4
   The use of asymmetric cryptography in the form of X.509 certificates
   [RFC3280] is popular for facilitating data origin authentication and
   perfect secrecy.  An established Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)
   provides key management and key distribution mechanisms that can be
   used to establish authentication and secure communication.  Adding
   public-key cryptography to Kerberos provides a nice congruence to
   public-key protocols, obviates the human users' burden to manage
   strong passwords, and allows Kerberized applications to take
   advantage of existing key services and identity management.

   The advantage afforded by the Kerberos TGT is that the client exposes
   his long-term secrets only once.  The TGT and its associated session
   key can then be used for any subsequent service ticket requests.  One
   result of this is that all further authentication is independent of
   the method by which the initial authentication was performed.
   Consequently, initial authentication provides a convenient place to
   integrate public-key cryptography into Kerberos authentication.  In
   addition, the use of symmetric cryptography after the initial
   exchange is preferred for performance.

   This document describes the methods and data formats using which the
   client and the KDC can use public and private key pairs to mutually
   authenticate in the AS exchange and negotiate the AS reply key, known
   only by the client and the KDC, to encrypt the AS-REP sent by the
   KDC.

2. Conventions Used in This Document

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]. In this protocol, both the client and the KDC have a public-private key pair in order to prove their identities to each other over the open network. The term "signature key" is used to refer to the private key of the key pair being used. The encryption key used to encrypt the enc-part field of the KDC-REP in the AS-REP [RFC4120] is referred to as the AS reply key. An empty sequence in an optional field can be either included or omitted: both encodings are permitted and considered equivalent. The term "Modular Exponential Diffie-Hellman" is used to refer to the Diffie-Hellman key exchange, as described in [RFC2631], in order to differentiate it from other equivalent representations of the same key agreement algorithm.

3. Extensions

This section describes extensions to [RFC4120] for supporting the use of public-key cryptography in the initial request for a ticket. Briefly, this document defines the following extensions to [RFC4120]: 1. The client indicates the use of public-key authentication by including a special preauthenticator in the initial request. This preauthenticator contains the client's public-key data and a signature. 2. The KDC tests the client's request against its authentication policy and trusted Certification Authorities (CAs). 3. If the request passes the verification tests, the KDC replies as usual, but the reply is encrypted using either: a. a key generated through a Diffie-Hellman (DH) key exchange [RFC2631] [IEEE1363] with the client, signed using the KDC's signature key; or b. a symmetric encryption key, signed using the KDC's signature key and encrypted using the client's public key. Any keying material required by the client to obtain the encryption key for decrypting the KDC reply is returned in a pre- authentication field accompanying the usual reply. 4. The client validates the KDC's signature, obtains the encryption key, decrypts the reply, and then proceeds as usual. Section 3.1 of this document enumerates the required algorithms and necessary extension message types. Section 3.2 describes the extension messages in greater detail.

3.1. Definitions, Requirements, and Constants

3.1.1. Required Algorithms

All PKINIT implementations MUST support the following algorithms: o AS reply key enctypes: aes128-cts-hmac-sha1-96 and aes256-cts- hmac-sha1-96 [RFC3962]. o Signature algorithm: sha-1WithRSAEncryption [RFC3370]. o AS reply key delivery method: the Diffie-Hellman key delivery method, as described in Section 3.2.3.1. In addition, implementations of this specification MUST be capable of processing the Extended Key Usage (EKU) extension and the id-pkinit- san (as defined in Section 3.2.2) otherName of the Subject Alternative Name (SAN) extension in X.509 certificates [RFC3280].

3.1.2. Recommended Algorithms

All PKINIT implementations SHOULD support the following algorithm: o AS reply key delivery method: the public key encryption key delivery method, as described in Section 3.2.3.2. For implementations that support the public key encryption key delivery method, the following algorithms MUST be supported: a) Key transport algorithms identified in the keyEncryptionAlgorithm field of the type KeyTransRecipientInfo [RFC3852] for encrypting the temporary key in the encryptedKey field [RFC3852] with a public key, as described in Section 3.2.3.2: rsaEncryption (this is the RSAES-PKCS1-v1_5 encryption scheme) [RFC3370] [RFC3447]. b) Content encryption algorithms identified in the contentEncryptionAlgorithm field of the type EncryptedContentInfo [RFC3852] for encrypting the AS reply key with the temporary key contained in the encryptedKey field of the type KeyTransRecipientInfo [RFC3852], as described in Section 3.2.3.2: des-ede3-cbc (three-key 3DES, CBC mode) [RFC3370].
Top   ToC   RFC4556 - Page 7

3.1.3. Defined Message and Encryption Types

PKINIT makes use of the following new pre-authentication types: PA_PK_AS_REQ 16 PA_PK_AS_REP 17 PKINIT also makes use of the following new authorization data type: AD_INITIAL_VERIFIED_CAS 9 PKINIT introduces the following new error codes: KDC_ERR_CLIENT_NOT_TRUSTED 62 KDC_ERR_INVALID_SIG 64 KDC_ERR_DH_KEY_PARAMETERS_NOT_ACCEPTED 65 KDC_ERR_CANT_VERIFY_CERTIFICATE 70 KDC_ERR_INVALID_CERTIFICATE 71 KDC_ERR_REVOKED_CERTIFICATE 72 KDC_ERR_REVOCATION_STATUS_UNKNOWN 73 KDC_ERR_CLIENT_NAME_MISMATCH 75 KDC_ERR_INCONSISTENT_KEY_PURPOSE 77 KDC_ERR_DIGEST_IN_CERT_NOT_ACCEPTED 78 KDC_ERR_PA_CHECKSUM_MUST_BE_INCLUDED 79 KDC_ERR_DIGEST_IN_SIGNED_DATA_NOT_ACCEPTED 80 KDC_ERR_PUBLIC_KEY_ENCRYPTION_NOT_SUPPORTED 81 PKINIT uses the following typed data types for errors: TD_TRUSTED_CERTIFIERS 104 TD_INVALID_CERTIFICATES 105 TD_DH_PARAMETERS 109 The ASN.1 module for all structures defined in this document (plus IMPORT statements for all imported structures) is given in Appendix A. All structures defined in or imported into this document MUST be encoded using Distinguished Encoding Rules (DER) [X680] [X690] (unless otherwise noted). All data structures carried in OCTET STRINGs MUST be encoded according to the rules specified in the specifications defining each data structure; a reference to the appropriate specification is provided for each data structure.
Top   ToC   RFC4556 - Page 8
   Interoperability note: Some implementations may not be able to decode
   wrapped Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) [RFC3852] objects encoded
   with BER; specifically, they may not be able to decode indefinite-
   length encodings.  To maximize interoperability, implementers SHOULD
   encode CMS objects used in PKINIT with DER.

3.1.4. Kerberos Encryption Types Defined for CMS Algorithm Identifiers

PKINIT defines the following Kerberos encryption type numbers [RFC3961], which can be used in the etype field of the AS-REQ [RFC4120] message to indicate to the KDC the client's acceptance of the corresponding algorithms (including key transport algorithms [RFC3370], content encryption algorithms [RFC3370], and signature algorithms) for use with Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) [RFC3852] [RFC3370]. Per [RFC4120], the encryption types in the etype field are in the decreasing preference order of the client. Note that there is no significance in the relative order between any two of different types of algorithms: key transport algorithms, content encryption algorithms, and signature algorithms. The presence of each of these encryption types in the etype field is equivalent to the presence of the corresponding algorithm Object Identifier (OID) in the supportedCMSTypes field as described in Section 3.2.1. And the preference order expressed in the supportedCMSTypes field would override the preference order listed in the etype field. Kerberos Encryption Type Name Num Corresponding Algorithm OID ============================== === =============================== id-dsa-with-sha1-CmsOID 9 id-dsa-with-sha1 [RFC3370] md5WithRSAEncryption-CmsOID 10 md5WithRSAEncryption [RFC3370] sha-1WithRSAEncryption-CmsOID 11 sha-1WithRSAEncryption [RFC3370] rc2-cbc-EnvOID 12 rc2-cbc [RFC3370] rsaEncryption-EnvOID 13 rsaEncryption [RFC3447][RFC3370] id-RSAES-OAEP-EnvOID 14 id-RSAES-OAEP [RFC3447][RFC3560] des-ede3-cbc-EnvOID 15 des-ede3-cbc [RFC3370]
Top   ToC   RFC4556 - Page 9
   The above encryption type numbers are used only to indicate support
   for the use of the corresponding algorithms in PKINIT; they do not
   correspond to actual Kerberos encryption types [RFC3961] and MUST NOT
   be used in the etype field of the Kerberos EncryptedData type
   [RFC4120].  The practice of assigning Kerberos encryption type
   numbers to indicate support for CMS algorithms is considered
   deprecated, and new numbers should not be assigned for this purpose.
   Instead, the supportedCMSTypes field should be used to identify the
   algorithms supported by the client and the preference order of the
   client.

   For maximum interoperability, however, PKINIT clients wishing to
   indicate to the KDC the support for one or more of the algorithms
   listed above SHOULD include the corresponding encryption type
   number(s) in the etype field of the AS-REQ.

3.2. PKINIT Pre-authentication Syntax and Use

This section defines the syntax and use of the various pre- authentication fields employed by PKINIT.

3.2.1. Generation of Client Request

The initial authentication request (AS-REQ) is sent as per [RFC4120]; in addition, a pre-authentication data element, whose padata-type is PA_PK_AS_REQ and whose padata-value contains the DER encoding of the type PA-PK-AS-REQ, is included. PA-PK-AS-REQ ::= SEQUENCE { signedAuthPack [0] IMPLICIT OCTET STRING, -- Contains a CMS type ContentInfo encoded -- according to [RFC3852]. -- The contentType field of the type ContentInfo -- is id-signedData (1.2.840.113549.1.7.2), -- and the content field is a SignedData. -- The eContentType field for the type SignedData is -- id-pkinit-authData (1.3.6.1.5.2.3.1), and the -- eContent field contains the DER encoding of the -- type AuthPack. -- AuthPack is defined below. trustedCertifiers [1] SEQUENCE OF ExternalPrincipalIdentifier OPTIONAL, -- Contains a list of CAs, trusted by the client, -- that can be used to certify the KDC. -- Each ExternalPrincipalIdentifier identifies a CA -- or a CA certificate (thereby its public key). -- The information contained in the -- trustedCertifiers SHOULD be used by the KDC as

       public key information, the CMS encryption types supported by the
       client, and a DHNonce.  The pkAuthenticator field certifies to
       the KDC that the client has recent knowledge of the signing key
       that authenticates the client.  The clientPublicValue field
       specifies Diffie-Hellman domain parameters and the client's
       public key value.  The DH public key value is encoded as a BIT
       STRING according to [RFC3279].  The clientPublicValue field is
       present only if the client wishes to use the Diffie-Hellman key
       agreement method.  The supportedCMSTypes field specifies the list
       of CMS algorithm identifiers that are supported by the client in
       order of (decreasing) preference, and can be used to identify a
       signature algorithm or a key transport algorithm [RFC3370] in the
       keyEncryptionAlgorithm field of the type KeyTransRecipientInfo,
       or a content encryption algorithm [RFC3370] in the
       contentEncryptionAlgorithm field of the type EncryptedContentInfo
       [RFC3852] when encrypting the AS reply key as described in
       Section 3.2.3.2.  However, there is no significance in the
       relative order between any two of different types of algorithms:
       key transport algorithms, content encryption algorithms, and
       signature algorithms.  The clientDHNonce field is described later
       in this section.

   6.  The ctime field in the PKAuthenticator structure contains the
       current time on the client's host, and the cusec field contains
       the microsecond part of the client's timestamp.  The ctime and
       cusec fields are used together to specify a reasonably accurate
       timestamp [RFC4120].  The nonce field is chosen randomly.  The
       paChecksum field MUST be present and it contains a SHA1 checksum
       that is performed over the KDC-REQ-BODY [RFC4120].  In order to
       ease future migration from the use of SHA1, the paChecksum field
       is made optional syntactically: when the request is extended to
       negotiate hash algorithms, the new client wishing not to use SHA1
       will send the request in the extended message syntax without the
       paChecksum field.  The KDC conforming to this specification MUST
Top   ToC   RFC4556 - Page 13
       return a KRB-ERROR [RFC4120] message with the code
       KDC_ERR_PA_CHECKSUM_MUST_BE_INCLUDED (see Section 3.2.3).  That
       will allow a new client to retry with SHA1 if allowed by the
       local policy.

   7.  The certificates field of the type SignedData contains
       certificates intended to facilitate certification path
       construction, so that the KDC can verify the signature over the
       type AuthPack.  For path validation, these certificates SHOULD be
       sufficient to construct at least one certification path from the
       client certificate to one trust anchor acceptable by the KDC
       [RFC4158].  The client MUST be capable of including such a set of
       certificates if configured to do so.  The certificates field MUST
       NOT contain "root" CA certificates.

   8.  The client's Diffie-Hellman public value (clientPublicValue) is
       included if and only if the client wishes to use the Diffie-
       Hellman key agreement method.  The Diffie-Hellman domain
       parameters [IEEE1363] for the client's public key are specified
       in the algorithm field of the type SubjectPublicKeyInfo
       [RFC3279], and the client's Diffie-Hellman public key value is
       mapped to a subjectPublicKey (a BIT STRING) according to
       [RFC3279].  When using the Diffie-Hellman key agreement method,
       implementations MUST support Oakley 1024-bit Modular Exponential
       (MODP) well-known group 2 [RFC2412] and Oakley 2048-bit MODP
       well-known group 14 [RFC3526] and SHOULD support Oakley 4096-bit
       MODP well-known group 16 [RFC3526].

       The Diffie-Hellman field size should be chosen so as to provide
       sufficient cryptographic security [RFC3766].

       When MODP Diffie-Hellman is used, the exponents should have at
       least twice as many bits as the symmetric keys that will be
       derived from them [ODL99].

   9.  The client may wish to reuse DH keys or to allow the KDC to do so
       (see Section 3.2.3.1).  If so, then the client includes the
       clientDHNonce field.  This nonce string MUST be as long as the
       longest key length of the symmetric key types that the client
       supports.  This nonce MUST be chosen randomly.

   The ExternalPrincipalIdentifier structure is used in this document to
   identify the subject's public key thereby the subject principal.
   This structure is filled out as follows:

   1.  The subjectName field contains a PKIX type Name encoded according
       to [RFC3280].  This field identifies the certificate subject by
       the distinguished subject name.  This field is REQUIRED when
Top   ToC   RFC4556 - Page 14
       there is a distinguished subject name present in the certificate
       being used.

   2.  The issuerAndSerialNumber field contains a CMS type
       IssuerAndSerialNumber encoded according to [RFC3852].  This field
       identifies a certificate of the subject.  This field is REQUIRED
       for TD-INVALID-CERTIFICATES and TD-TRUSTED-CERTIFIERS (both
       structures are defined in Section 3.2.2).

   3.  The subjectKeyIdentifier [RFC3852] field identifies the subject's
       public key by a key identifier.  When an X.509 certificate is
       referenced, this key identifier matches the X.509
       subjectKeyIdentifier extension value.  When other certificate
       formats are referenced, the documents that specify the
       certificate format and their use with the CMS must include
       details on matching the key identifier to the appropriate
       certificate field.  This field is RECOMMENDED for TD-TRUSTED-
       CERTIFIERS (as defined in Section 3.2.2).

   The trustedCertifiers field of the type PA-PK-AS-REQ contains a list
   of CAs, trusted by the client, that can be used to certify the KDC.
   Each ExternalPrincipalIdentifier identifies a CA or a CA certificate
   (thereby its public key).

   The kdcPkId field of the type PA-PK-AS-REQ contains a CMS type
   SignerIdentifier encoded according to [RFC3852].  This field
   identifies, if present, a particular KDC public key that the client
   already has.

3.2.2. Receipt of Client Request

Upon receiving the client's request, the KDC validates it. This section describes the steps that the KDC MUST (unless otherwise noted) take in validating the request. The KDC verifies the client's signature in the signedAuthPack field according to [RFC3852]. If, while validating the client's X.509 certificate [RFC3280], the KDC cannot build a certification path to validate the client's certificate, it sends back a KRB-ERROR [RFC4120] message with the code KDC_ERR_CANT_VERIFY_CERTIFICATE. The accompanying e-data for this error message is a TYPED-DATA (as defined in [RFC4120]) that contains an element whose data-type is TD_TRUSTED_CERTIFIERS, and whose data-value contains the DER encoding of the type TD-TRUSTED- CERTIFIERS:
Top   ToC   RFC4556 - Page 15
       TD-TRUSTED-CERTIFIERS ::= SEQUENCE OF
                      ExternalPrincipalIdentifier
                   -- Identifies a list of CAs trusted by the KDC.
                   -- Each ExternalPrincipalIdentifier identifies a CA
                   -- or a CA certificate (thereby its public key).

   Each ExternalPrincipalIdentifier (as defined in Section 3.2.1) in the
   TD-TRUSTED-CERTIFIERS structure identifies a CA or a CA certificate
   (thereby its public key) trusted by the KDC.

   Upon receiving this error message, the client SHOULD retry only if it
   has a different set of certificates (from those of the previous
   requests) that form a certification path (or a partial path) from one
   of the trust anchors acceptable by the KDC to its own certificate.

   If, while processing the certification path, the KDC determines that
   the signature on one of the certificates in the signedAuthPack field
   is invalid, it returns a KRB-ERROR [RFC4120] message with the code
   KDC_ERR_INVALID_CERTIFICATE.  The accompanying e-data for this error
   message is a TYPED-DATA that contains an element whose data-type is
   TD_INVALID_CERTIFICATES, and whose data-value contains the DER
   encoding of the type TD-INVALID-CERTIFICATES:

       TD-INVALID-CERTIFICATES ::= SEQUENCE OF
                      ExternalPrincipalIdentifier
                   -- Each ExternalPrincipalIdentifier identifies a
                   -- certificate (sent by the client) with an invalid
                   -- signature.

   Each ExternalPrincipalIdentifier (as defined in Section 3.2.1) in the
   TD-INVALID-CERTIFICATES structure identifies a certificate (that was
   sent by the client) with an invalid signature.

   If more than one X.509 certificate signature is invalid, the KDC MAY
   include one IssuerAndSerialNumber per invalid signature within the
   TD-INVALID-CERTIFICATES.

   The client's X.509 certificate is validated according to [RFC3280].

   Depending on local policy, the KDC may also check whether any X.509
   certificates in the certification path validating the client's
   certificate have been revoked.  If any of them have been revoked, the
   KDC MUST return an error message with the code
   KDC_ERR_REVOKED_CERTIFICATE; if the KDC attempts to determine the
   revocation status but is unable to do so, it SHOULD return an error
   message with the code KDC_ERR_REVOCATION_STATUS_UNKNOWN.  The
   certificate or certificates affected are identified exactly as for
   the error code KDC_ERR_INVALID_CERTIFICATE (see above).
Top   ToC   RFC4556 - Page 16
   Note that the TD_INVALID_CERTIFICATES error data is only used to
   identify invalid certificates sent by the client in the request.

   The client's public key is then used to verify the signature.  If the
   signature fails to verify, the KDC MUST return an error message with
   the code KDC_ERR_INVALID_SIG.  There is no accompanying e-data for
   this error message.

   In addition to validating the client's signature, the KDC MUST also
   check that the client's public key used to verify the client's
   signature is bound to the client principal name specified in the AS-
   REQ as follows:

   1. If the KDC has its own binding between either the client's
      signature-verification public key or the client's certificate and
      the client's Kerberos principal name, it uses that binding.

   2. Otherwise, if the client's X.509 certificate contains a Subject
      Alternative Name (SAN) extension carrying a KRB5PrincipalName
      (defined below) in the otherName field of the type GeneralName
      [RFC3280], it binds the client's X.509 certificate to that name.

      The type of the otherName field is AnotherName.  The type-id field
      of the type AnotherName is id-pkinit-san:

       id-pkinit-san OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::=
         { iso(1) org(3) dod(6) internet(1) security(5) kerberosv5(2)
           x509SanAN (2) }

      And the value field of the type AnotherName is a
      KRB5PrincipalName.

       KRB5PrincipalName ::= SEQUENCE {
           realm                   [0] Realm,
           principalName           [1] PrincipalName
       }

   If the Kerberos client name in the AS-REQ does not match a name bound
   by the KDC (the binding can be in the certificate, for example, as
   described above), or if there is no binding found by the KDC, the KDC
   MUST return an error message with the code
   KDC_ERR_CLIENT_NAME_MISMATCH.  There is no accompanying e-data for
   this error message.

   Even if the certification path is validated and the certificate is
   mapped to the client's principal name, the KDC may decide not to
   accept the client's certificate, depending on local policy.
Top   ToC   RFC4556 - Page 17
   The KDC MAY require the presence of an Extended Key Usage (EKU)
   KeyPurposeId [RFC3280] id-pkinit-KPClientAuth in the extensions field
   of the client's X.509 certificate:

       id-pkinit-KPClientAuth OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::=
         { iso(1) org(3) dod(6) internet(1) security(5) kerberosv5(2)
           pkinit(3) keyPurposeClientAuth(4) }
              -- PKINIT client authentication.
              -- Key usage bits that MUST be consistent:
              -- digitalSignature.

   The digitalSignature key usage bit [RFC3280] MUST be asserted when
   the intended purpose of the client's X.509 certificate is restricted
   with the id-pkinit-KPClientAuth EKU.

   If this EKU KeyPurposeId is required but it is not present, or if the
   client certificate is restricted not to be used for PKINIT client
   authentication per Section 4.2.1.13 of [RFC3280], the KDC MUST return
   an error message of the code KDC_ERR_INCONSISTENT_KEY_PURPOSE.  There
   is no accompanying e-data for this error message.  KDCs implementing
   this requirement SHOULD also accept the EKU KeyPurposeId
   id-ms-kp-sc-logon (1.3.6.1.4.1.311.20.2.2) as meeting the
   requirement, as there are a large number of X.509 client certificates
   deployed for use with PKINIT that have this EKU.

   As a matter of local policy, the KDC MAY decide to reject requests on
   the basis of the absence or presence of other specific EKU OIDs.

   If the digest algorithm used in generating the CA signature for the
   public key in any certificate of the request is not acceptable by the
   KDC, the KDC MUST return a KRB-ERROR [RFC4120] message with the code
   KDC_ERR_DIGEST_IN_CERT_NOT_ACCEPTED.  The accompanying e-data MUST be
   encoded in TYPED-DATA, although none is defined at this point.

   If the client's public key is not accepted with reasons other than
   those specified above, the KDC returns a KRB-ERROR [RFC4120] message
   with the code KDC_ERR_CLIENT_NOT_TRUSTED.  There is no accompanying
   e-data currently defined for this error message.

   The KDC MUST check the timestamp to ensure that the request is not a
   replay, and that the time skew falls within acceptable limits.  The
   recommendations for clock skew times in [RFC4120] apply here.  If the
   check fails, the KDC MUST return error code KRB_AP_ERR_REPEAT or
   KRB_AP_ERR_SKEW, respectively.

   If the clientPublicValue is filled in, indicating that the client
   wishes to use the Diffie-Hellman key agreement method, the KDC SHOULD
   check to see if the key parameters satisfy its policy.  If they do
Top   ToC   RFC4556 - Page 18
   not, it MUST return an error message with the code
   KDC_ERR_DH_KEY_PARAMETERS_NOT_ACCEPTED.  The accompanying e-data is a
   TYPED-DATA that contains an element whose data-type is
   TD_DH_PARAMETERS, and whose data-value contains the DER encoding of
   the type TD-DH-PARAMETERS:

       TD-DH-PARAMETERS ::= SEQUENCE OF AlgorithmIdentifier
                   -- Each AlgorithmIdentifier specifies a set of
                   -- Diffie-Hellman domain parameters [IEEE1363].
                   -- This list is in decreasing preference order.

   TD-DH-PARAMETERS contains a list of Diffie-Hellman domain parameters
   that the KDC supports in decreasing preference order, from which the
   client SHOULD pick one to retry the request.

   The AlgorithmIdentifier structure is defined in [RFC3280] and is
   filled in according to [RFC3279].  More specifically, Section 2.3.3
   of [RFC3279] describes how to fill in the AlgorithmIdentifier
   structure in the case where MODP Diffie-Hellman key exchange is used.

   If the client included a kdcPkId field in the PA-PK-AS-REQ and the
   KDC does not possess the corresponding key, the KDC MUST ignore the
   kdcPkId field as if the client did not include one.

   If the digest algorithm used by the id-pkinit-authData is not
   acceptable by the KDC, the KDC MUST return a KRB-ERROR [RFC4120]
   message with the code KDC_ERR_DIGEST_IN_SIGNED_DATA_NOT_ACCEPTED.
   The accompanying e-data MUST be encoded in TYPED-DATA, although none
   is defined at this point.

3.2.3. Generation of KDC Reply

If the paChecksum filed in the request is not present, the KDC conforming to this specification MUST return a KRB-ERROR [RFC4120] message with the code KDC_ERR_PA_CHECKSUM_MUST_BE_INCLUDED. The accompanying e-data MUST be encoded in TYPED-DATA (no error data is defined by this specification). Assuming that the client's request has been properly validated, the KDC proceeds as per [RFC4120], except as follows. The KDC MUST set the initial flag and include an authorization data element of ad-type [RFC4120] AD_INITIAL_VERIFIED_CAS in the issued ticket. The ad-data [RFC4120] field contains the DER encoding of the type AD-INITIAL-VERIFIED-CAS:
Top   ToC   RFC4556 - Page 19
       AD-INITIAL-VERIFIED-CAS ::= SEQUENCE OF
                      ExternalPrincipalIdentifier
                   -- Identifies the certification path with which
                   -- the client certificate was validated.
                   -- Each ExternalPrincipalIdentifier identifies a CA
                   -- or a CA certificate (thereby its public key).

   The AD-INITIAL-VERIFIED-CAS structure identifies the certification
   path with which the client certificate was validated.  Each
   ExternalPrincipalIdentifier (as defined in Section 3.2.1) in the AD-
   INITIAL-VERIFIED-CAS structure identifies a CA or a CA certificate
   (thereby its public key).

   Note that the syntax for the AD-INITIAL-VERIFIED-CAS authorization
   data does permit empty SEQUENCEs to be encoded.  Such empty sequences
   may only be used if the KDC itself vouches for the user's
   certificate.

   The AS wraps any AD-INITIAL-VERIFIED-CAS data in AD-IF-RELEVANT
   containers if the list of CAs satisfies the AS' realm's local policy
   (this corresponds to the TRANSITED-POLICY-CHECKED ticket flag
   [RFC4120]).  Furthermore, any TGS MUST copy such authorization data
   from tickets used within a PA-TGS-REQ of the TGS-REQ into the
   resulting ticket.  If the list of CAs satisfies the local KDC's
   realm's policy, the TGS MAY wrap the data into the AD-IF-RELEVANT
   container; otherwise, it MAY unwrap the authorization data out of the
   AD-IF-RELEVANT container.

   Application servers that understand this authorization data type
   SHOULD apply local policy to determine whether a given ticket bearing
   such a type *not* contained within an AD-IF-RELEVANT container is
   acceptable.  (This corresponds to the AP server's checking the
   transited field when the TRANSITED-POLICY-CHECKED flag has not been
   set [RFC4120].)  If such a data type is contained within an AD-IF-
   RELEVANT container, AP servers MAY apply local policy to determine
   whether the authorization data is acceptable.

   A pre-authentication data element, whose padata-type is PA_PK_AS_REP
   and whose padata-value contains the DER encoding of the type PA-PK-
   AS-REP (defined below), is included in the AS-REP [RFC4120].

       PA-PK-AS-REP ::= CHOICE {
          dhInfo                  [0] DHRepInfo,
                   -- Selected when Diffie-Hellman key exchange is
                   -- used.
          encKeyPack              [1] IMPLICIT OCTET STRING,
                   -- Selected when public key encryption is used.
                   -- Contains a CMS type ContentInfo encoded
Top   ToC   RFC4556 - Page 20
                   -- according to [RFC3852].
                   -- The contentType field of the type ContentInfo is
                   -- id-envelopedData (1.2.840.113549.1.7.3).

                   -- The contentType field for the type EnvelopedData
                   -- is id-signedData (1.2.840.113549.1.7.2).
                   -- The eContentType field for the inner type
                   -- SignedData (when unencrypted) is
                   -- id-pkinit-rkeyData (1.3.6.1.5.2.3.3) and the
                   -- eContent field contains the DER encoding of the
                   -- type ReplyKeyPack.
                   -- ReplyKeyPack is defined in Section 3.2.3.2.
          ...
       }

       DHRepInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
          dhSignedData            [0] IMPLICIT OCTET STRING,
                   -- Contains a CMS type ContentInfo encoded according
                   -- to [RFC3852].
                   -- The contentType field of the type ContentInfo is
                   -- id-signedData (1.2.840.113549.1.7.2), and the

                   -- id-pkinit-DHKeyData (1.3.6.1.5.2.3.2), and the
                   -- eContent field contains the DER encoding of the
                   -- type KDCDHKeyInfo.
                   -- KDCDHKeyInfo is defined below.
          serverDHNonce           [1] DHNonce OPTIONAL,
                   -- Present if and only if dhKeyExpiration is
                   -- present in the KDCDHKeyInfo.
          ...
       }

       KDCDHKeyInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
          subjectPublicKey        [0] BIT STRING,
                   -- The KDC's DH public key.
                   -- The DH public key value is encoded as a BIT
                   -- STRING according to [RFC3279].
          nonce                   [1] INTEGER (0..4294967295),
                   -- Contains the nonce in the pkAuthenticator field
                   -- in the request if the DH keys are NOT reused,
                   -- 0 otherwise.
          dhKeyExpiration         [2] KerberosTime OPTIONAL,
                   -- Expiration time for KDC's key pair,
                   -- present if and only if the DH keys are reused.
                   -- If present, the KDC's DH public key MUST not be
                   -- used past the point of this expiration time.
                   -- If this field is omitted then the serverDHNonce
Top   ToC   RFC4556 - Page 21
                   -- field MUST also be omitted.
          ...
       }

   The content of the AS-REP is otherwise unchanged from [RFC4120].  The
   KDC encrypts the reply as usual, but not with the client's long-term
   key.  Instead, it encrypts it with either a shared key derived from a
   Diffie-Hellman exchange or a generated encryption key.  The contents
   of the PA-PK-AS-REP indicate which key delivery method is used.

   If the client does not wish to use the Diffie-Hellman key delivery
   method (the clientPublicValue field is not present in the request)
   and the KDC does not support the public key encryption key delivery
   method, the KDC MUST return an error message with the code
   KDC_ERR_PUBLIC_KEY_ENCRYPTION_NOT_SUPPORTED.  There is no
   accompanying e-data for this error message.

   In addition, the lifetime of the ticket returned by the KDC MUST NOT
   exceed that of the client's public-private key pair.  The ticket
   lifetime, however, can be shorter than that of the client's public-
   private key pair.  For the implementations of this specification, the
   lifetime of the client's public-private key pair is the validity
   period in X.509 certificates [RFC3280], unless configured otherwise.

3.2.3.1. Using Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange
In this case, the PA-PK-AS-REP contains a DHRepInfo structure. The ContentInfo [RFC3852] structure for the dhSignedData field is filled in as follows: 1. The contentType field of the type ContentInfo is id-signedData (as defined in [RFC3852]), and the content field is a SignedData (as defined in [RFC3852]). 2. The eContentType field for the type SignedData is the OID value for id-pkinit-DHKeyData: { iso(1) org(3) dod(6) internet(1) security(5) kerberosv5(2) pkinit(3) DHKeyData(2) }. Notes to CMS implementers: the signed attribute content-type MUST be present in this SignedData instance, and its value is id-pkinit-DHKeyData according to [RFC3852]. 3. The eContent field for the type SignedData contains the DER encoding of the type KDCDHKeyInfo. 4. The KDCDHKeyInfo structure contains the KDC's public key, a nonce, and, optionally, the expiration time of the KDC's DH key being reused. The subjectPublicKey field of the type
Top   ToC   RFC4556 - Page 22
       KDCDHKeyInfo field identifies KDC's DH public key.  This DH
       public key value is encoded as a BIT STRING according to
       [RFC3279].  The nonce field contains the nonce in the
       pkAuthenticator field in the request if the DH keys are NOT
       reused.  The value of this nonce field is 0 if the DH keys are
       reused.  The dhKeyExpiration field is present if and only if the
       DH keys are reused.  If the dhKeyExpiration field is present, the
       KDC's public key in this KDCDHKeyInfo structure MUST NOT be used
       past the point of this expiration time.  If this field is
       omitted, then the serverDHNonce field MUST also be omitted.

   5.  The signerInfos field of the type SignedData contains a single
       signerInfo, which contains the signature over the type
       KDCDHKeyInfo.

   6.  The certificates field of the type SignedData contains
       certificates intended to facilitate certification path
       construction, so that the client can verify the KDC's signature
       over the type KDCDHKeyInfo.  The information contained in the
       trustedCertifiers in the request SHOULD be used by the KDC as
       hints to guide its selection of an appropriate certificate chain
       to return to the client.  This field may be left empty if the KDC
       public key specified by the kdcPkId field in the PA-PK-AS-REQ was
       used for signing.  Otherwise, for path validation, these
       certificates SHOULD be sufficient to construct at least one
       certification path from the KDC certificate to one trust anchor
       acceptable by the client [RFC4158].  The KDC MUST be capable of
       including such a set of certificates if configured to do so.  The
       certificates field MUST NOT contain "root" CA certificates.

   7.  If the client included the clientDHNonce field, then the KDC may
       choose to reuse its DH keys.  If the server reuses DH keys, then
       it MUST include an expiration time in the dhKeyExpiration field.
       Past the point of the expiration time, the signature over the
       type DHRepInfo is considered expired/invalid.  When the server
       reuses DH keys then, it MUST include a serverDHNonce at least as
       long as the length of keys for the symmetric encryption system
       used to encrypt the AS reply.  Note that including the
       serverDHNonce changes how the client and server calculate the key
       to use to encrypt the reply; see below for details.  The KDC
       SHOULD NOT reuse DH keys unless the clientDHNonce field is
       present in the request.

   The AS reply key is derived as follows:

   1. Both the KDC and the client calculate the shared secret value as
      follows:
Top   ToC   RFC4556 - Page 23
          a) When MODP Diffie-Hellman is used, let DHSharedSecret be the
          shared secret value.  DHSharedSecret is the value ZZ, as
          described in Section 2.1.1 of [RFC2631].

      DHSharedSecret is first padded with leading zeros such that the
      size of DHSharedSecret in octets is the same as that of the
      modulus, then represented as a string of octets in big-endian
      order.

      Implementation note: Both the client and the KDC can cache the
      triple (ya, yb, DHSharedSecret), where ya is the client's public
      key and yb is the KDC's public key.  If both ya and yb are the
      same in a later exchange, the cached DHSharedSecret can be used.

   2. Let K be the key-generation seed length [RFC3961] of the AS reply
      key whose enctype is selected according to [RFC4120].

   3. Define the function octetstring2key() as follows:

           octetstring2key(x) == random-to-key(K-truncate(
                                    SHA1(0x00 | x) |
                                    SHA1(0x01 | x) |
                                    SHA1(0x02 | x) |
                                    ...
                                    ))

      where x is an octet string; | is the concatenation operator; 0x00,
      0x01, 0x02, etc. are each represented as a single octet; random-
      to-key() is an operation that generates a protocol key from a
      bitstring of length K; and K-truncate truncates its input to the
      first K bits.  Both K and random-to-key() are as defined in the
      kcrypto profile [RFC3961] for the enctype of the AS reply key.

   4. When DH keys are reused, let n_c be the clientDHNonce and n_k be
      the serverDHNonce; otherwise, let both n_c and n_k be empty octet
      strings.

   5. The AS reply key k is:
              k = octetstring2key(DHSharedSecret | n_c | n_k)

3.2.3.2. Using Public Key Encryption
In this case, the PA-PK-AS-REP contains the encKeyPack field where the AS reply key is encrypted. The ContentInfo [RFC3852] structure for the encKeyPack field is filled in as follows:
Top   ToC   RFC4556 - Page 24
   1.  The contentType field of the type ContentInfo is id-envelopedData
       (as defined in [RFC3852]), and the content field is an
       EnvelopedData (as defined in [RFC3852]).

   2.  The contentType field for the type EnvelopedData is id-
       signedData: { iso (1) member-body (2) us (840) rsadsi (113549)
       pkcs (1) pkcs7 (7) signedData (2) }.

   3.  The eContentType field for the inner type SignedData (when
       decrypted from the encryptedContent field for the type
       EnvelopedData) is id-pkinit-rkeyData: { iso(1) org(3) dod(6)
       internet(1) security(5) kerberosv5(2) pkinit(3) rkeyData(3) }.
       Notes to CMS implementers: the signed attribute content-type MUST
       be present in this SignedData instance, and its value is id-
       pkinit-rkeyData according to [RFC3852].

   4.  The eContent field for the inner type SignedData contains the DER
       encoding of the type ReplyKeyPack (as described below).

   5.  The signerInfos field of the inner type SignedData contains a
       single signerInfo, which contains the signature for the type
       ReplyKeyPack.

   6.  The certificates field of the inner type SignedData contains
       certificates intended to facilitate certification path
       construction, so that the client can verify the KDC's signature
       for the type ReplyKeyPack.  The information contained in the
       trustedCertifiers in the request SHOULD be used by the KDC as
       hints to guide its selection of an appropriate certificate chain
       to return to the client.  This field may be left empty if the KDC
       public key specified by the kdcPkId field in the PA-PK-AS-REQ was
       used for signing.  Otherwise, for path validation, these
       certificates SHOULD be sufficient to construct at least one
       certification path from the KDC certificate to one trust anchor
       acceptable by the client [RFC4158].  The KDC MUST be capable of
       including such a set of certificates if configured to do so.  The
       certificates field MUST NOT contain "root" CA certificates.

   7.  The recipientInfos field of the type EnvelopedData is a SET that
       MUST contain exactly one member of type KeyTransRecipientInfo.
       The encryptedKey of this member contains the temporary key that
       is encrypted using the client's public key.

   8.  The unprotectedAttrs or originatorInfo fields of the type
       EnvelopedData MAY be present.
Top   ToC   RFC4556 - Page 25
   If there is a supportedCMSTypes field in the AuthPack, the KDC must
   check to see if it supports any of the listed types.  If it supports
   more than one of the types, the KDC SHOULD use the one listed first.
   If it does not support any of them, it MUST return an error message
   with the code KDC_ERR_ETYPE_NOSUPP [RFC4120].

   Furthermore, the KDC computes the checksum of the AS-REQ in the
   client request.  This checksum is performed over the type AS-REQ, and
   the protocol key [RFC3961] of the checksum operation is the replyKey,
   and the key usage number is 6.  If the replyKey's enctype is "newer"
   [RFC4120] [RFC4121], the checksum operation is the required checksum
   operation [RFC3961] of that enctype.

       ReplyKeyPack ::= SEQUENCE {
          replyKey                [0] EncryptionKey,
                   -- Contains the session key used to encrypt the
                   -- enc-part field in the AS-REP, i.e., the
                   -- AS reply key.
          asChecksum              [1] Checksum,
                  -- Contains the checksum of the AS-REQ
                  -- corresponding to the containing AS-REP.
                  -- The checksum is performed over the type AS-REQ.
                  -- The protocol key [RFC3961] of the checksum is the
                  -- replyKey and the key usage number is 6.
                  -- If the replyKey's enctype is "newer" [RFC4120]
                  -- [RFC4121], the checksum is the required
                  -- checksum operation [RFC3961] for that enctype.
                  -- The client MUST verify this checksum upon receipt
                  -- of the AS-REP.
          ...
       }

   Implementations of this RSA encryption key delivery method are
   RECOMMENDED to support RSA keys at least 2048 bits in size.

3.2.4. Receipt of KDC Reply

Upon receipt of the KDC's reply, the client proceeds as follows. If the PA-PK-AS-REP contains the dhSignedData field, the client derives the AS reply key using the same procedure used by the KDC, as defined in Section 3.2.3.1. Otherwise, the message contains the encKeyPack field, and the client decrypts and extracts the temporary key in the encryptedKey field of the member KeyTransRecipientInfo and then uses that as the AS reply key. If the public key encryption method is used, the client MUST verify the asChecksum contained in the ReplyKeyPack.
Top   ToC   RFC4556 - Page 26
   In either case, the client MUST verify the signature in the
   SignedData according to [RFC3852].  The KDC's X.509 certificate MUST
   be validated according to [RFC3280].  In addition, unless the client
   can otherwise verify that the public key used to verify the KDC's
   signature is bound to the KDC of the target realm, the KDC's X.509
   certificate MUST contain a Subject Alternative Name extension
   [RFC3280] carrying an AnotherName whose type-id is id-pkinit-san (as
   defined in Section 3.2.2) and whose value is a KRB5PrincipalName that
   matches the name of the TGS of the target realm (as defined in
   Section 7.3 of [RFC4120]).

   Unless the client knows by some other means that the KDC certificate
   is intended for a Kerberos KDC, the client MUST require that the KDC
   certificate contains the EKU KeyPurposeId [RFC3280] id-pkinit-KPKdc:

       id-pkinit-KPKdc OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::=
         { iso(1) org(3) dod(6) internet(1) security(5) kerberosv5(2)
           pkinit(3) keyPurposeKdc(5) }
              -- Signing KDC responses.
              -- Key usage bits that MUST be consistent:
              -- digitalSignature.

   The digitalSignature key usage bit [RFC3280] MUST be asserted when
   the intended purpose of the KDC's X.509 certificate is restricted
   with the id-pkinit-KPKdc EKU.

   If the KDC certificate contains the Kerberos TGS name encoded as an
   id-pkinit-san SAN, this certificate is certified by the issuing CA as
   a KDC certificate, therefore the id-pkinit-KPKdc EKU is not required.

   If all applicable checks are satisfied, the client then decrypts the
   enc-part field of the KDC-REP in the AS-REP, using the AS reply key,
   and then proceeds as described in [RFC4120].

3.3. Interoperability Requirements

The client MUST be capable of sending a set of certificates sufficient to allow the KDC to construct a certification path for the client's certificate, if the correct set of certificates is provided through configuration or policy. If the client sends all the X.509 certificates on a certification path to a trust anchor acceptable by the KDC, and if the KDC cannot verify the client's public key otherwise, the KDC MUST be able to process path validation for the client's certificate based on the certificates in the request.
Top   ToC   RFC4556 - Page 27
   The KDC MUST be capable of sending a set of certificates sufficient
   to allow the client to construct a certification path for the KDC's
   certificate, if the correct set of certificates is provided through
   configuration or policy.

   If the KDC sends all the X.509 certificates on a certification path
   to a trust anchor acceptable by the client, and the client can not
   verify the KDC's public key otherwise, the client MUST be able to
   process path validation for the KDC's certificate based on the
   certificates in the reply.

3.4. KDC Indication of PKINIT Support

If pre-authentication is required but was not present in the request, per [RFC4120] an error message with the code KDC_ERR_PREAUTH_FAILED is returned, and a METHOD-DATA object will be stored in the e-data field of the KRB-ERROR message to specify which pre-authentication mechanisms are acceptable. The KDC can then indicate the support of PKINIT by including an empty element whose padata-type is PA_PK_AS_REQ in that METHOD-DATA object. Otherwise if it is required by the KDC's local policy that the client must be pre-authenticated using the pre-authentication mechanism specified in this document, but no PKINIT pre-authentication was present in the request, an error message with the code KDC_ERR_PREAUTH_FAILED SHOULD be returned. KDCs MUST leave the padata-value field of the PA_PK_AS_REQ element in the KRB-ERROR's METHOD-DATA empty (i.e., send a zero-length OCTET STRING), and clients MUST ignore this and any other value. Future extensions to this protocol may specify other data to send instead of an empty OCTET STRING.

4. Security Considerations

The security of cryptographic algorithms is dependent on generating secret quantities [RFC4086]. The number of truly random bits is extremely important in determining the attack resistance strength of the cryptosystem; for example, the secret Diffie-Hellman exponents must be chosen based on n truly random bits (where n is the system security requirement). The security of the overall system is significantly weakened by using insufficient random inputs: a sophisticated attacker may find it easier to reproduce the environment that produced the secret quantities and to search the resulting small set of possibilities than to locate the quantities in the whole of the potential number space.
Top   ToC   RFC4556 - Page 28
   Kerberos error messages are not integrity protected; as a result, the
   domain parameters sent by the KDC as TD-DH-PARAMETERS can be tampered
   with by an attacker so that the set of domain parameters selected
   could be either weaker or not mutually preferred.  Local policy can
   configure sets of domain parameters acceptable locally, or disallow
   the negotiation of DH domain parameters.

   The symmetric reply key size and Diffie-Hellman field size or RSA
   modulus size should be chosen so as to provide sufficient
   cryptographic security [RFC3766].

   When MODP Diffie-Hellman is used, the exponents should have at least
   twice as many bits as the symmetric keys that will be derived from
   them [ODL99].

   PKINIT raises certain security considerations beyond those that can
   be regulated strictly in protocol definitions.  We will address them
   in this section.

   PKINIT extends the cross-realm model to the public-key
   infrastructure.  Users of PKINIT must understand security policies
   and procedures appropriate to the use of Public Key Infrastructures
   [RFC3280].

   In order to trust a KDC certificate that is certified by a CA as a
   KDC certificate for a target realm (for example, by asserting the TGS
   name of that Kerberos realm as an id-pkinit-san SAN and/or
   restricting the certificate usage by using the id-pkinit-KPKdc EKU,
   as described in Section 3.2.4), the client MUST verify that the KDC
   certificate's issuing CA is authorized to issue KDC certificates for
   that target realm.  Otherwise, the binding between the KDC
   certificate and the KDC of the target realm is not established.

   How to validate this authorization is a matter of local policy.  A
   way to achieve this is the configuration of specific sets of
   intermediary CAs and trust anchors, one of which must be on the KDC
   certificate's certification path [RFC3280], and, for each CA or trust
   anchor, the realms for which it is allowed to issue certificates.

   In addition, if any CA that is trusted to issue KDC certificates can
   also issue other kinds of certificates, then local policy must be
   able to distinguish between them; for example, it could require that
   KDC certificates contain the id-pkinit-KPKdc EKU or that the realm be
   specified with the id-pkinit-san SAN.

   It is the responsibility of the PKI administrators for an
   organization to ensure that KDC certificates are only issued to KDCs,
   and that clients can ascertain this using their local policy.
Top   ToC   RFC4556 - Page 29
   Standard Kerberos allows the possibility of interactions between
   cryptosystems of varying strengths; this document adds interactions
   with public-key cryptosystems to Kerberos.  Some administrative
   policies may allow the use of relatively weak public keys.  When
   using such weak asymmetric keys to protect/exchange stronger
   symmetric Keys, the attack resistant strength of the overall system
   is no better than that of these weak keys [RFC3766].

   PKINIT requires that keys for symmetric cryptosystems be generated.
   Some such systems contain "weak" keys.  For recommendations regarding
   these weak keys, see [RFC4120].

   PKINIT allows the use of the same RSA key pair for encryption and
   signing when doing RSA encryption-based key delivery.  This is not
   recommended usage of RSA keys [RFC3447]; by using DH-based key
   delivery, this is avoided.

   Care should be taken in how certificates are chosen for the purposes
   of authentication using PKINIT.  Some local policies may require that
   key escrow be used for certain certificate types.  Deployers of
   PKINIT should be aware of the implications of using certificates that
   have escrowed keys for the purposes of authentication.  Because
   signing-only certificates are normally not escrowed, by using DH-
   based key delivery this is avoided.

   PKINIT does not provide for a "return routability" test to prevent
   attackers from mounting a denial-of-service attack on the KDC by
   causing it to perform unnecessary and expensive public-key
   operations.  Strictly speaking, this is also true of standard
   Kerberos, although the potential cost is not as great, because
   standard Kerberos does not make use of public-key cryptography.  By
   using DH-based key delivery and reusing DH keys, the necessary crypto
   processing cost per request can be minimized.

   When the Diffie-Hellman key exchange method is used, additional pre-
   authentication data [RFC4120] (in addition to the PA_PK_AS_REQ, as
   defined in this specification) is not bound to the AS_REQ by the
   mechanisms discussed in this specification (meaning it may be dropped
   or added by attackers without being detected by either the client or
   the KDC).  Designers of additional pre-authentication data should
   take that into consideration if such additional pre-authentication
   data can be used in conjunction with the PA_PK_AS_REQ.  The future
   work of the Kerberos working group is expected to update the hash
   algorithms specified in this document and provide a generic mechanism
   to bind additional pre-authentication data with the accompanying
   AS_REQ.
Top   ToC   RFC4556 - Page 30
   The key usage number 6 used by the asChecksum field is also used for
   the authenticator checksum (cksum field of AP-REQ) contained in the
   PA-TGS-REQ preauthentication data contained in a TGS-REQ [RFC4120].
   This conflict is present for historical reasons; the reuse of key
   usage numbers is strongly discouraged.

The authors are indebted to the Kerberos working group chair, Jeffrey Hutzelman, who kept track of various issues and was enormously helpful during the creation of this document. Some of the ideas on which this document is based arose during discussions over several years between members of the SAAG, the IETF CAT working group, and the PSRG, regarding integration of Kerberos and SPX. Some ideas have also been drawn from the DASS system. These changes are by no means endorsed by these groups. This is an attempt to revive some of the goals of those groups, and this document approaches those goals primarily from the Kerberos perspective. Lastly, comments from groups working on similar ideas in DCE have been invaluable.

Appendix C. Miscellaneous Information about Microsoft Windows PKINIT Implementations

Earlier revisions of the PKINIT I-D were implemented in various releases of Microsoft Windows and deployed in fairly large numbers. To enable the community to interoperate better with systems running those releases, the following information may be useful. KDC certificates issued by Windows 2000 Enterprise CAs contain a dNSName SAN with the DNS name of the host running the KDC, and the id-kp-serverAuth EKU [RFC3280]. KDC certificates issued by Windows 2003 Enterprise CAs contain a dNSName SAN with the DNS name of the host running the KDC, the id- kp-serverAuth EKU, and the id-ms-kp-sc-logon EKU. It is anticipated that the next release of Windows is already too far along to allow it to support the issuing KDC certificates with id- pkinit-san SAN as specified in this RFC. Instead, they will have a dNSName SAN containing the domain name of the KDC, and the intended purpose of these KDC certificates will be restricted by the presence of the id-pkinit-KPKdc EKU and id-kp-serverAuth EKU. In addition to checking that the above are present in a KDC certificate, Windows clients verify that the issuer of the KDC certificate is one of a set of allowed issuers of such certificates, so those wishing to issue KDC certificates need to configure their Windows clients appropriately. Client certificates accepted by Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 Server KDCs must contain an id-ms-san-sc-logon-upn (1.3.6.1.4.1.311.20.2.3) SAN and the id-ms-kp-sc-logon EKU. The id-ms-san-sc-logon-upn SAN contains a UTF8-encoded string whose value is that of the Directory Service attribute UserPrincipalName of the client account object, and the purpose of including the id-ms-san-sc-logon-upn SAN in the client certificate is to validate the client mapping (in other words, the client's public key is bound to the account that has this UserPrincipalName value). It should be noted that all Microsoft Kerberos realm names are domain-style realm names and strictly in uppercase. In addition, the UserPrincipalName attribute is globally unique in Windows 2000 and Windows 2003.
