+ ESSCertIDv2 Update for RFC 3161
+
+Abstract
+
+ This document updates RFC 3161. It allows the use of ESSCertIDv2, as
+ defined in RFC 5035, to specify the hash of a signer certificate when
+ the hash is calculated with a function other than the Secure Hash
+ Algorithm (SHA-1).

+
+1. Introduction
+
+ The time-stamping protocol defined in RFC 3161 [RFC3161] requires
+ that the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) SignedData [RFC5652],
+ used to apply a digital signature on the time-stamp token, include a
+ signed attribute that identifies the signer's certificate.
+
+ This identifier only allows SHA-1 [SHA1] to be used as the hash
+ algorithm to generate the identifier value.
+
+ The mechanism used in [RFC3161] employed ESSCertID from RFC 2634
+ [ESS]. RFC 5035 [ESSV2] updated ESSCertID with ESSCertIDv2 to allow
+ the use of any hash algorithm.
+
+ The changes to RFC 3161 [RFC3161] defined in this document allow
+ ESSCertIDv2 to be used to include an identifier of the signing
+ certificate as defined in RFC 5035 [ESSV2].
+
+1.1. Terminology
+
+ The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
+ "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
+ document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].

+
+
+2. Updates to RFC 3161
+
+2.1. Changes to Section 2.4.1, Request Format
+
+ Last paragraph on Page 5.
+
+ Old:
+
+ If the certReq field is present and set to true, the TSA's public
+ key certificate that is referenced by the ESSCertID identifier
+ inside a SigningCertificate attribute in the response MUST be
+ provided by the TSA in the certificates field from the SignedData
+ structure in that response. That field may also contain other
+ certificates.
+
+ New:
+
+ If the certReq field is present and set to true, the TSA's public
+ key certificate that is referenced by the ESSCertID [ESS] field
+ inside a SigningCertificate attribute or by the ESSCertIDv2
+ [ESSV2] field inside a SigningCertificateV2 attribute in the
+ response MUST be provided by the TSA in the certificates field
+ from the SignedData structure in that response. That field may
+ also contain other certificates.
+
+2.2. Changes to Section 2.4.2, Response Format
+
+2.2.1. Signature of Time-Stamp Token
+
+ Fifth paragraph on Page 8, just before the definition of TSTInfo.
+
+ Old:
+
+ The time-stamp token MUST NOT contain any signatures other than
+ the signature of the TSA. The certificate identifier (ESSCertID)
+ of the TSA certificate MUST be included as a signerInfo attribute
+ inside a SigningCertificate attribute.
+
+ New:
+
+ The time-stamp token MUST NOT contain any signatures other than
+ the signature of the TSA. The certificate identifier (either
+ ESSCertID [ESS] or ESSCertIDv2 [ESSV2]) of the TSA certificate
+ MUST be included as a signerInfo attribute inside a
+ SigningCertificate attribute.

+
+RFC 5816 ESSCertIDv2 Update for RFC 3161 March 2010
+
+
+ Note: As mentioned in RFC 5035 [ESSV2], the SigningCertificateV2
+ attribute MUST be used if any algorithm other than SHA-1 is
+ used and SHOULD NOT be used for SHA-1.
+
+ Note: For backwards compatibility, in line with RFC 5035, both
+ ESSCertID and ESSCertIDv2 MAY be present. Systems MAY
+ ignore ESSCertIDv2 if RFC 5035 has not been implemented.
+
+2.2.2. Verifying the Time-Stamp Token
+
+ Third paragraph on Page 11.
+
+ Old:
+
+ The purpose of the tsa field is to give a hint in identifying the
+ name of the TSA. If present, it MUST correspond to one of the
+ subject names included in the certificate that is to be used to
+ verify the token. However, the actual identification of the
+ entity that signed the response will always occur through the use
+ of the certificate identifier (ESSCertID Attribute) inside a
+ SigningCertificate attribute which is part of the signerInfo (See
+ Section 5 of [ESS]).

+ (see Section 5 of [ESS] and Section 3 of [ESSV2]).
+
+3. Security Considerations
+
+ This document incorporates the security considerations of RFC 5035
+ [ESSV2] with further explanations in this section.
+
+ ESSCertID provides a means based on the SHA-1 hash algorithm for
+ identifying the certificate used to verify the signature on a time
+ stamp. The use of ESSCertIDv2 aims to enable implementers to comply
+ with policies that require phasing out all uses of the SHA-1
+ algorithm.

+
+RFC 5816 ESSCertIDv2 Update for RFC 3161 March 2010
+
+
+ The update provided by this document is motivated by reasons of
+ interoperability and migration to other hash algorithms rather than
+ mitigating new security issues.
