Use of Remote Attestation with Certification Signing Requests
draft-ietf-lamps-csr-attestation-10
Abstract
A PKI end entity requesting a certificate from a Certification
Authority (CA) may wish to offer trustworthy claims about the
platform generating the certification request and the environment
associated with the corresponding private key, such as whether the
private key resides on a hardware security module.
This specification defines an attribute and an extension that allow
for conveyance of Evidence in Certificate Signing Requests (CSRs)
such as PKCS#10 or Certificate Request Message Format (CRMF) payloads
which provides an elegant and automatable mechanism for transporting
Evidence to a Certification Authority.
Including Evidence along with a CSR can help to improve the
assessment of the security posture for the private key, and can help
the Certification Authority to assess whether it satisfies the
requested certificate profile. These Evidence Claims can include
information about the hardware component's manufacturer, the version
of installed or running firmware, the version of software installed
or running in layers above the firmware, or the presence of hardware
components providing specific protection capabilities or shielded
locations (e.g., to protect keys).

1. Introduction
When requesting a certificate from a Certification Authority (CA), a
PKI end entity may wish to include Evidence of the security
properties of its environments in which the private keys are stored
in that request. This Evidence can be appraised by authoritative
entities, such as a Registration Authority (RA) or a CA, or
associated trusted Verifiers as part of validating an incoming
Ounsworth, et al. Expires 9 January 2025 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft Remote Attestation with CSRs July 2024
certificate request against given certificate policies. Regulatory
bodies are beginning to require proof of hardware residency for
certain classifications of cryptographic keys. At the time of
writing, the most notable example is the Code-Signing Baseline
Requirements [CSBR] document maintained by the CA/Browser Forum,
which requires compliant CAs to "ensure that a Subscriber’s Private
Key is generated, stored, and used in a secure environment that has
controls to prevent theft or misuse".
This specification defines an attribute and an extension that allow
for conveyance of Evidence in Certificate Signing Requests (CSRs)
such as PKCS#10 [RFC2986] or Certificate Request Message Format
(CRMF) [RFC4211] payloads which provides an elegant and automatable
mechanism for transporting Evidence to a Certification Authority and
meeting requirements such as those in the CA/B Forum's [CSBR].
As outlined in the RATS Architecture [RFC9334], an Attester
(typically a device) produces a signed collection of Claims that
constitute Evidence about its running environment(s). While the term
"attestation" is not defined in RFC 9334, it was later defined in
[I-D.ietf-rats-tpm-based-network-device-attest], it refers to the
activity of producing and appraising remote attestation Evidence. A
Relying Party may consult an Attestation Result produced by a
Verifier that has appraised the Evidence in making policy decisions
about the trustworthiness of the Target Environment being assessed
via appraisal of Evidence. Section 3 provides the basis to
illustrate in this document how the various roles in the RATS
architecture map to a certificate requester and a CA/RA.
At the time of writing, several standard and several proprietary
remote attestation technologies are in use. This specification
thereby is intended to be as technology-agnostic as it is feasible
with respect to implemented remote attestation technologies. Hence,
this specification focuses on (1) the conveyance of Evidence via CSRs
while making minimal assumptions about content or format of the
transported Evidence and (2) the conveyance of sets of certificates
used for validation of Evidence. The certificates typically contain
one or more certification paths rooted in a device manufacturer trust
anchor and the end-entity certificate being on the device in
question. The end-entity certificate is associated with key material
that takes on the role of an Attestation Key and is used as Evidence
originating from the Attester.
This document specifies a CSR Attribute (or Extension for Certificate
Request Message Format (CRMF) CSRs) for carrying Evidence. Evidence
can be placed into an EvidenceStatement along with an OID to identify
its type and optionally a hint to the Relying Party about which
Verifier (software package) will be capable of parsing it. A set of
Ounsworth, et al. Expires 9 January 2025 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft Remote Attestation with CSRs July 2024
EvidenceStatements may be grouped together along with the set of
CertificateChoices needed to validate them to form a EvidenceBundle.
One or more EvidenceBundles may be placed into the id-aa-evidence CSR
Attribute (or CRMF Extension).
A CSR may contain one or more Evidence payloads, for example Evidence
asserting the storage properties of a private key, Evidence asserting
firmware version and other general properties of the device, or
Evidence signed using different cryptographic algorithms.
With these attributes, additional information information is
available to an RA or CA, which may be used to decide whether to
issue a certificate and what certificate profile to apply. The scope
of this document is, however, limited to the conveyance of Evidence
within CSR. The exact format of the Evidence being conveyed is
defined in various standard and proprietary specifications.
2. Conventions and Definitions
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.
This document re-uses the terms defined in [RFC9334] related to
remote attestation. Readers of this document are assumed to be
familiar with the following terms: Evidence, Claim, Attestation
Results (AR), Attester, Verifier, Target Environment, Attesting
Environment, Composite Device, Lead Attester, Attestation Key, and
Relying Party (RP).
The term "Certification Request" message is defined in [RFC2986].
Specifications, such as [RFC7030], later introduced the term
"Certificate Signing Request (CSR)" to refer to the Certification
Request message. While the term "Certification Signing Request"
would have been correct, the mistake was unnoticed. In the meanwhile
CSR is an abbreviation used beyond PKCS#10. Hence, it is equally
applicable to other protocols that use a different syntax and even a
different encoding, in particular this document also considers
messages in the Certificate Request Message Format (CRMF) [RFC4211]
to be "CSRs". In this document, the terms "CSR" and Certificate
Request message are used interchangeably.

3. Architecture
Figure 1 shows the high-level communication pattern of the RATS
background check model where the Attester transmits the Evidence in
the CSR to the RA and the CA, which is subsequently forwarded to the
Verifier. The Verifier appraises the received Evidence and computes
an Attestation Result, which is then processed by the RA/CA prior to
the certificate issuance.
In addition to the background check model, the RATS architecture also
specifies the passport model and combinations. See Section 5.2 of
[RFC9334] for a description of the passport model. The passport
model requires the Attester to transmit Evidence to the Verifier
directly in order to obtain the Attestation Result, which is then
forwarded to the Relying Party. This specification utilizes the
background check model since CSRs are often used as one-shot messages
where no direct real-time interaction between the Attester and the
Verifier is possible.
Note that the Verifier is a logical role that may be included in the
RA/CA product. In this case, the Relying Party role and Verifier
role collapse into a single entity. The Verifier functionality can,
however, also be kept separate from the RA functionality, such as a
utility or library provided by the device manufacturer. For example,
security concerns may require parsers of Evidence formats to be
logically or physically separated from the core RA and CA
functionality. The interface by which the Relying Party passes
Evidence to the Verifier and receives back Attestation Results may be
proprietary or standardized, but in any case is out-of-scope for this
document.
The diagram below shows an example data flow where Evidence is
included in a CSR. The CSR is parsed by the Registration Authority
(RA) component of a Certification Authority which extracts the
Evidence and forwards it to a trusted Verifier. The RA receives back
an Attestation Result which it uses to decide whether this Evidence
meets its policy for certificate issuance and if it does then the
certificate request is forwarded to the Certification Authority for
issuance. This diagram overlays PKI entities with RATS roles in
parentheses.

Figure 1: Example data flow demonstrating the architecture with
Background Check Model.
As discussed in RFC 9334, different security and privacy aspects need
to be considered. For example, Evidence may need to be protected
against replay and Section 10 of RFC 9334 lists approach for offering
freshness. There are also concerns about the exposure of persistent
identifiers by utilizing attestation technology, which are discussed
in Section 11 of RFC 9334. Finally, the keying material used by the
Attester needs to be protected against unauthorized access, and
against signing arbitrary content that originated from outside the
device. This aspect is described in Section 12 of RFC 9334. Most of
these aspects are, however, outside the scope of this specification
but relevant for use with a given attestation technology. The focus
of this specification is on the transport of Evidence from the
Attester to the Relying Party via existing CSR messages.
4. Information Model
4.1. Interaction with an HSM
This specification is applicable both in cases where a CSR is
constructed internally or externally to the Attesting Environment,
from the point of view of the calling application.
Cases where the CSR is generated internally to the Attesting
Environment are straightforward: the HSM generates and embeds the
Evidence and the corresponding certification paths when constructing
the CSR.
Ounsworth, et al. Expires 9 January 2025 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft Remote Attestation with CSRs July 2024
Cases where the CSR is generated externally may require extra round-
trips of communication between the CSR generator and the Attesting
Environment, first to obtain the necessary Evidence about the subject
key, and then to use the subject key to sign the CSR; for example, a
CSR generated by a popular crypto library about a subject key stored
on a PKCS#11 [PKCS11] device.
As an example, assuming that the HSM is, or contains, the Attesting
Environment and some cryptographic library is assembling a CSR by
interacting with the HSM over some network protocol, then the
interaction would conceptually be:
+---------+ +-----+
| Crypto | | HSM |
| Library | | |
+---------+ +-----+
| |
| getEvidence() |
|----------------->|
| |
|<-----------------|
+---------------------+ | |
| CSR = assembleCSR() |-| |
+---------------------+ | |
| |
| sign(CSR) |
|----------------->|
| |
|<-----------------|
| |
Figure 2: Example interaction between CSR generator and HSM.
4.2. Encoding Strategy
To support a number of different use cases for the transmission of
Evidence and certificate chains in a CSR the structure shown in
Figure 3 is used.
On a high-level, the structure is composed as follows: A PKCS#10
attribute or a CRMF extension contains one or more EvidenceBundle
structures. Each EvidenceBundle contains one or more
EvidenceStatement structures as well as one or more
CertificateChoices which enable to carry various format of
certificates.

Figure 3: Information Model for CSR Evidence Conveyance.
The following use cases are supported, as described in the sub-
sections below. A conformant implementation of an entity parsing the
CSR structures MUST be prepared to parse certificates in all
EvidenceBundle to build a certification path.
4.2.1. Case 1 - Single Evidence Bundle
A single Attester, which only distributes Evidence without an
attached certificate chain. In the use case, the Verifier is assumed
to be in possession of the certificate chain already or the Verifier
directly trusts the Attestation Key and therefore no certificate
chain is needed. As a result, a single EvidenceBundle is included in
a CSR that contains a single EvidenceStatement without the
CertificateChoices structure. Figure 4 shows this use case.

Ounsworth, et al. Expires 9 January 2025 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft Remote Attestation with CSRs July 2024
4.2.2. Case 2 - Single Evidence Bundle with Certificate Chain
A single Attester, which shares Evidence together with a certificate
chain. The CSR conveys a single EvidenceBundle with a single
EvidenceStatement and a single CertificateChoices structure.
Figure 5 shows this use case.
+-------------------------+
| EvidenceBundle |
+-------------------------+
| EvidenceStatement |
| CertificateChoices |
+-------------------------+
Figure 5: Case 2: Single Evidence Bundle with Certificate Chain.
4.2.3. Case 3 - Multiple Evidence Bundles each with Complete
Certificate Chains
In a Composite Device, which contains multiple Attesters, a
collection of Evidence statements is obtained. In this use case,
each Attester returns its Evidence together with a certificate chain.
As a result, multiple EvidenceBundle structures, each carrying an
EvidenceStatement and the corresponding CertificateAlternative
structure with the certification chain as provided by each Attester,
are included in the CSR. This may result in certificates being
duplicated across multiple EvidenceBundles. This approach does not
require any processing capabilities by a Lead Attester since the
information is merely forwarded. Figure 6 shows this use case.
+-------------------------+
| EvidenceBundle (1) |\
+-------------------------+ \ Provided by
| EvidenceStatement | / Attester 1
| CertificateChoices |/
+-------------------------+
| EvidenceBundle (2) |\
+-------------------------+ \ Provided by
| EvidenceStatement | / Attester 2
| CertificateChoices |/
+-------------------------+
Figure 6: Case 3: Multiple Evidence Bundles each with Complete
Certificate Chains.
Ounsworth, et al. Expires 9 January 2025 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft Remote Attestation with CSRs July 2024
4.2.4. Case 4 - Multiple Evidence Bundles with Certificate Transmission
Optimization
In the last use case, a Composite Device with additional processing
capabilities of the Lead Attester parses the certificate chain
provided by all Attesters in the device and removes duplicate
certificates. The benefit of this approach is the reduced
transmission payload size. There are several implementation
strategies and we show two in the sub-sections below.
Note: This specification does not mandate optimizing the transmission
of the certificate chain since there is a trade-off between the
Attester implementation complexity and the transmission overhead.
4.2.4.1. First Implementation Option
In our first implementation option each Attester is provisioned with
a unique end-entity certificate. Hence, the certificate chain at
least differs with respect to the end-entity certificates.
The Lead Attester therefore creates multiple EvidenceBundle
structures, where each carries an EvidenceStatement followed by a
certificate chain in the CertificateAlternative structures containing
most likely only the end-entity certificate. The shared
certification path is carried in the first entry of the
EvidenceBundle sequence to allow path validation to take place
immediately after processing the first structure.
This implementation strategy may place extra burden on the Relying
Party to parse EvidenceBundles and reconstruct the certification path
if the Verifier requires each EvidenceStatement to be accompanied
with a complete certification path.
+-------------------------+
| EvidenceBundle (1) |\
Certificate +-------------------------+ \ Provided by
Chain + | EvidenceStatement | / Attester 1
End-Entity --->| CertificateChoices |/
Certificate +-------------------------+
....
+-------------------------+
| EvidenceBundle (n) |\
+-------------------------+ \ Provided by
End-Entity | EvidenceStatement | / Attester n
Certificate--->| CertificateChoices |/
+-------------------------+
Ounsworth, et al. Expires 9 January 2025 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft Remote Attestation with CSRs July 2024
4.2.5. Second Implementation Option
Our second implementation option requires the Lead Attester to merge
all certificate chains into a single EvidenceBundle containing a
single de-duplicated sequence of CertificateChoices structures. This
means that each EvidenceBundle is self-contained and any
EvidenceStatement can be verified using only the sequence of
CertificateChoices in its bundle, but Verifiers will have to do
proper certification path building since the sequence of
CertificateChoices is now a cert bag and not a certificate chain.
+------------------------------+
| EvidenceBundle |
+------------------------------+
| EvidenceStatement (1) |
| ... |
| EvidenceStatement (n) |
| CertificateChoices { |
| End Entity Certificate (1) |
| ... |
| End Entity Certificate (n) |
| <Remainder of the |
| Certificate Chain> |
| } |
+------------------------------+
This implementation strategy may place extra burden on the Attester
in order to allow the Relying Party to treat the Evidence and
Certificates as opaque content. It also may place extra burden on
the Verifier since this implementation strategy requires it to be
able to perform X.509 certification path building over a bag of
certificates that may be out of order or contain extraneous
certificates.

and [RFC5912].

Internet-Draft Remote Attestation with CSRs July 2024
5.2. Evidence Attribute and Extension
By definition, attributes within a PKCS#10 CSR are typed as ATTRIBUTE
and within a CRMF CSR are typed as EXTENSION. This attribute
definition contains one or more Evidence bundles of type
EvidenceBundle where each contain one or more Evidence statements of
a type EvidenceStatement along with an optional certification path.
This structure allows for grouping Evidence statements that share a
certification path.
EVIDENCE-STATEMENT ::= TYPE-IDENTIFIER
EvidenceStatementSet EVIDENCE-STATEMENT ::= {
... -- None defined in this document --
}
Figure 8: Definition of EvidenceStatementSet
The expression illustrated in Figure 8 maps ASN.1 Types for Evidence
Statements to the OIDs that identify them. These mappings are are
used to construct or parse EvidenceStatements. Evidence Statement
formats are typically defined in other IETF standards, other
standards bodies, or vendor proprietary formats along with
corresponding OIDs that identify them.
This list is left unconstrained in this document. However,
implementers can populate it with the formats that they wish to
support.
EvidenceStatements ::= SEQUENCE SIZE (1..MAX) OF EvidenceStatement
EvidenceStatement ::= SEQUENCE {
type EVIDENCE-STATEMENT.&id({EvidenceStatementSet}),
stmt EVIDENCE-STATEMENT.&Type({EvidenceStatementSet}{@type}),
hint UTF8String OPTIONAL
}
Figure 9: Definition of EvidenceStatement
In Figure 9, type is an OID that indicates the format of the value of
stmt.
The Attester MAY populate the hint with the name of a Verifier
software package which will be capable of parsing the data contained
in EvidenceStatement.stmt; this is to help the Relying Party select
the correct Verifier without requiring the Relying Party to perform
any parsing of the data in EvidenceStatement.stmt. The type OID,
which identifies the format of the data found in the Evidence
Ounsworth, et al. Expires 9 January 2025 [Page 13]
Internet-Draft Remote Attestation with CSRs July 2024
statement, typically suffices for a Relying Party to select the
correct Verifier (software) to invoke. However, in some cases the
Relying Party may have more than one Verifier capable of parsing a
given type OID -- for example if the OID indicates a wrapper format
such as DICE ConceptualMessageWrapper that can contain further
proprietary data. A design goal of this specification is to enable
Relying Parties to select an appropriate Verifier (software) without
the need to perform any parsing of the EvidenceStatement.stmt data.
To help with this, the Attester MAY populate the hint with a name of
a software package that will be capable of parsing this data. The
hint SHOULD contain a value that is unique to this Verifier, for
example, a fully qualified domain name (FQDN), a uniform resource
name (URN) [RFC8141], or a registered value corresponding to this
Evidence format. In a typical usage scenario, the RP is pre-
configured with a list of trusted Verifiers and the corresponding
hint values can be used to look up appropriate Verifier. Tricking an
RP into interacting with an unknown and untrusted Verifier has to be
avoided as the retrieved Attestation Result must be reliable.
Usage of the hint field can be seen in the TPM2_attest example in
Appendix A.2 where the type OID indicates the OID id-TcgAttestCertify
and the corresponding hint indicates the Verifier software
"tpmverifier.example.com" can be invoked for parsing it.
EvidenceBundles ::= SEQUENCE SIZE (1..MAX) OF EvidenceBundle
EvidenceBundle ::= SEQUENCE {
evidence EvidenceStatements,
certs SEQUENCE SIZE (1..MAX) OF CertificateChoices OPTIONAL
-- CertificateChoices MUST only contain certificate or other
}
The CertificateChoices structure defined in [RFC6268] allows for
carrying certificates in the default X.509 [RFC5280] format, or in
other non-X.509 certificate formats. CertificateChoices MUST only
contain certificate or other. CertificateChoices MUST NOT contain
extendedCertificate, v1AttrCert, or v2AttrCert. Note that for non-
ASN.1 certificate formats, the CertificateChoices MUST use other [3]
with an OtherCertificateFormat.Type of OCTET STRING, and then can
carry any binary data.

about the end entity's hardware environment. See Section 7.2 for
more discussion.
The certs field contains a set of certificates that is intended to
validate the contents of an Evidence statement contained in evidence,
if required. The set of certificates should contain the certificate
that contains the public key needed to directly validate the
evidence. Additional certificates may be provided, for example, to
chain the Evidence signer key back to an agreed upon trust anchor.
No order is implied, it is up to the Attester and its Verifier to
agree on both the order and format of certificates contained in
certs.
This specification places no restriction on mixing certificate types
within the certs field. For example a non-X.509 Evidence signer
certificate MAY chain to a trust anchor via a chain of X.509
certificates. It is up to the Attester and its Verifier to agree on
supported certificate formats.
By the nature of the PKIX ASN.1 classes [[RFC5912]], there are
multiple ways to convey multiple Evidence statements: by including
multiple copies of attr-evidence or ext-evidence, multiple values
within the attribute or extension, and finally, by including multiple
EvidenceStatements within an EvidenceBundle. The latter is the
preferred way to carry multiple Evidence statements. Implementations
MUST NOT place multiple copies of attr-evidence into a PKCS#10 CSR
due to the COUNTS MAX 1 declaration, and SHOULD NOT place multiple
copies of EvidenceBundles into an AttributeSet. In a CRMF CSR,
Ounsworth, et al. Expires 9 January 2025 [Page 15]
Internet-Draft Remote Attestation with CSRs July 2024
implementers SHOULD NOT place multiple copies of ext-evidence and
SHOULD NOT place multiple copies of EvidenceBundles into an
ExtensionSet.
6. IANA Considerations
IANA is requested to open two new registries, allocate a value from
the "SMI Security for PKIX Module Identifier" registry for the
included ASN.1 module, and allocate values from "SMI Security for S/
MIME Attributes" to identify two attributes defined within.
6.1. Module Registration - SMI Security for PKIX Module Identifier
* Decimal: IANA Assigned - *Replace TBDMOD*
* Description: CSR-ATTESTATION-2023 - id-mod-pkix-attest-01
* References: This Document
6.2. Object Identifier Registrations - SMI Security for S/MIME
Attributes
* Evidence Statement
- Decimal: IANA Assigned - This was early-allocated as 59 so that
we could generate the sample data.
- Description: id-aa-evidence
- References: This Document
6.3. "SMI Security for PKIX Evidence Statement Formats" Registry
IANA is asked to create a registry for Evidence Statement Formats
within the SMI-numbers registry, allocating an assignment from id-
pkix ("SMI Security for PKIX" Registry) for the purpose.
* Decimal: IANA Assigned - *replace TBD1*
* Description: id-ata
* References: This document
* Initial contents: None
* Registration Regime: Specification Required. Document must
specify an EVIDENCE-STATEMENT definition to which this Object
Identifier shall be bound.

* Description: Begins with id-ata
* References: RFC or other document
6.4. Attestation Evidence OID Registry
IANA is asked to create a registry that helps developers to find OID/
Evidence mappings.
Registration requests are evaluated using the criteria described in
the registration template below after a three-week review period on
the [[TBD]] mailing list, with the advice of one or more Designated
Experts [RFC8126]. However, to allow for the allocation of values
prior to publication, the Designated Experts may approve registration
once they are satisfied that such a specification will be published.
Registration requests sent to the mailing list for review should use
an appropriate subject (e.g., "Request to register attestation
evidence: example").
IANA must only accept registry updates from the Designated Experts
and should direct all requests for registration to the review mailing
list.
6.4.1. Registration Template
The registry has the following columns:
* OID: The OID number, which has already been allocated. IANA does
not allocate OID numbers for use with this registry.
* Description: Brief description of the use of the Evidence and the
registration of the OID.
* Reference(s): Reference to the document or documents that register
the OID for use with a specific attestation technology, preferably
including URIs that can be used to retrieve copies of the
documents. An indication of the relevant sections may also be
included but is not required.
* Change Controller: For Standards Track RFCs, list the "IESG". For
others, give the name of the responsible party. In most cases the
third party requesting registration in this registry will also be
the party that registered the OID.

7. Security Considerations
A PKCS#10 or CRMF Certification Request message typically consists of
a distinguished name, a public key, and optionally a set of
attributes, collectively signed by the entity requesting
certification. In general usage, the private key used to sign the
CSR MUST be different from the Attesting Key utilized to sign
Evidence about the Target Environment, though exceptions MAY be made
where CSRs and Evidence are involved in bootstrapping the Attesting
Key. To demonstrate that the private key applied to sign the CSR is
generated, and stored in a secure environment that has controls to
prevent theft or misuse (including being non-exportable / non-
recoverable), the Attesting Environment has to collect claims about
this secure environment (or Target Environment, as shown in
Figure 11).
Figure 11 shows the interaction inside an Attester. The Attesting
Environment, which is provisioned with an Attestation Key, retrieves
claims about the Target Environment. The Target Environment offers
key generation, storage and usage, which it makes available to
services. The Attesting Environment collects these claims about the
Target Environment and signs them and exports Evidence for use in
remote attestation via a CSR.

Figure 11: Interaction between Attesting and Target Environment
Figure 11 places the CSR library outside the Attester, which is a
valid architecture for certificate enrollment. The CSR library may
also be located inside the trusted computing base. Regardless of the
placement of the CSR library, an Attesting Environment MUST be able
to collect claims about the Target Environment such that statements
about the storage of the keying material can be made. For the
Verifier, the provided Evidence must allow an assessment to be made
whether the key used to sign the CSR is stored in a secure location
and cannot be exported.
Ounsworth, et al. Expires 9 January 2025 [Page 20]
Internet-Draft Remote Attestation with CSRs July 2024
Evidence communicated in the attributes and structures defined in
this document are meant to be used in a CSR. It is up to the
Verifier and to the Relying Party (RA/CA) to place as much or as
little trust in this information as dictated by policies.
This document defines the transport of Evidence of different formats
in a CSR. Some of these encoding formats are based on standards
while others are proprietary formats. A Verifier will need to
understand these formats for matching the received claim values
against policies.
Policies drive the processing of Evidence at the Verifier: the
Verifier's Appraisal Policy for Evidence will often be based on
specifications by the manufacturer of a hardware security module, a
regulatory agency, or specified by an oversight body, such as the CA
Browser Forum. The Code-Signing Baseline Requirements [CSBR]
document is an example of such a policy that has been published by
the CA Browser Forum and specifies certain properties, such as non-
exportability, which must be enabled for storing publicly-trusted
code-signing keys. Other policies influence the decision making at
the Relying Party when evaluating the Attestation Result. The
Relying Party is ultimately responsible for making a decision of what
information in the Attestation Result it will accept. The presence
of the attributes defined in this specification provide the Relying
Party with additional assurance about an Attester. Policies used at
the Verifier and the Relying Party are implementation dependent and
out of scope for this document. Whether to require the use of
Evidence in a CSR is out-of-scope for this document.
7.1. Freshness
Evidence generated by an Attester generally needs to be fresh to
provide value to the Verifier since the configuration on the device
may change over time. Section 10 of [RFC9334] discusses different
approaches for providing freshness, including a nonce-based approach,
the use of timestamps and an epoch-based technique. The use of
nonces requires that nonce to be provided by the Relying Party in
some protocol step prior to Evidence and CSR generation, and the use
of timestamps requires synchronized clocks which cannot be guaranteed
in all operating environments. Epochs also require an out-of-band
communication channel. This document only specifies how to carry
existing Evidence formats inside a CSR, and so issues of
synchronizing freshness data is left to be handled, for example, via
certificate management protocols. Developers, operators, and
designers of protocols, which embed Evidence-carrying-CSRs, MUST
consider what notion of freshness is appropriate and available in-
context; thus the issue of freshness is left up to the discretion of
protocol designers and implementers.
Ounsworth, et al. Expires 9 January 2025 [Page 21]
Internet-Draft Remote Attestation with CSRs July 2024
In the case of Hardware Security Modules (HSM), the definition of
"fresh" is somewhat ambiguous in the context of CSRs, especially
considering that non-automated certificate enrollments are often
asynchronous, and considering the common practice of re-using the
same CSR for multiple certificate renewals across the lifetime of a
key. "Freshness" typically implies both asserting that the data was
generated at a certain point-in-time, as well as providing non-
replayability. Certain use cases may have special properties
impacting the freshness requirements. For example, HSMs are
typically designed to not allow downgrade of private key storage
properties; for example if a given key was asserted at time T to have
been generated inside the hardware boundary and to be non-exportable,
then it can be assumed that those properties of that key will
continue to hold into the future.
7.2. Publishing evidence in an X.509 extension
This document specifies an Extension for carrying Evidence in a CRMF
Certificate Signing Request (CSR), but it is intentionally NOT
RECOMMENDED for a CA to copy the ext-evidence extension into the
published certificate. The reason for this is that certificates are
considered public information and the Evidence might contain detailed
information about hardware and patch levels of the device on which
the private key resides. The certificate requester has consented to
sharing this detailed device information with the CA but might not
consent to having these details published. These privacy
considerations are beyond the scope of this document and may require
additional signaling mechanisms in the CSR to prevent unintended
publication of sensitive information, so we leave it as "NOT
RECOMMENDED". Often, the correct layer at which to address this is
either in certificate profiles, a Certificate Practice Statement
(CPS), or in the protocol or application that carries the CSR to the
RA/CA where a flag can be added indicating whether the RA/CA should
consider the evidence to be public or private.
7.3. Type OID and verifier hint
The EvidenceStatement includes both a type OID and a free form hint
field with which the Attester can provide information to the Relying
Party about which Verifier to invoke to parse a given piece of
Evidence. Care should be taken when processing these data since at
the time they are used, they are not yet verified. In fact, they are
protected by the CSR signature but not by the signature from the
Attester and so could be maliciously replaced in some cases. The
authors' intent is that the type OID and hint will allow an RP to
select between Verifier with which it has pre-established trust
relationships, such as Verifier libraries that have been compiled in
to the RP application. As an example, the hint may take the form of
Ounsworth, et al. Expires 9 January 2025 [Page 22]
Internet-Draft Remote Attestation with CSRs July 2024
an FQDN to uniquely identify a Verifier implementation, but the RP
MUST NOT blindly make network calls to unknown domain names and trust
the results. Implementers should also be cautious around type OID or
hint values that cause a short-circuit in the verification logic,
such as None, Null, Debug, empty CMW contents, or similar values that
could cause the Evidence to appear to be valid when in fact it was
not properly checked.
7.4. Additional security considerations
In addition to the security considerations listed here, implementers
should be familiar with the security considerations of the
specifications on this this depends: PKCS#10 [RFC2986], CRMF [4211],
as well as general security concepts relating to evidence and remote
attestation; many of these concepts are discussed in the Remote
ATtestation prodedureS (RATS) Architecture [RFC9334] sections 6 Roles
and Entities, 7 Trust Model, 9 Freshness, 11 Privacy Considerations,
and 12 Security Considerations. Implementers should also be aware of
any security considerations relating to the specific evidence format
being carried within the CSR.

Appendix A. Examples
This section provides several examples and sample data for embedding
Evidence in CSRs. The first example embeds Evidence produced by a
TPM in the CSR. The second example conveys an Arm Platform Security
Architecture token, which provides claims about the used hardware and
software platform, into the CSR.
After publication of this document, additional examples and sample
data will be collected at the following GitHub repository
[SampleData]:
https://github.com/lamps-wg/csr-attestation-examples
A.1. Extending EvidenceStatementSet
As defined in Section 5.2, EvidenceStatementSet acts as a way to
provide an ASN.1 compiler or runtime parser with a list of OBJECT
IDENTIFIERs that are known to represent EvidenceStatements -- and are
expected to appear in an EvidenceStatement.type field, along with the
ASN.1 type that should be used to parse the data in the associated
EvidenceStatement.stmt field. Essentially this is a mapping of OIDs
to data structures. Implementers are expected to populate it with
mappings for the Evidence types that their application will be
handling.
This specification aims to be agnostic about the type of data being
carried, and therefore does not specify any mandatory-to-implement
Evidence types.
As an example of how to populate EvidenceStatementSet, implementing
the TPM 2.0 and PSA Evidence types given below would result in the
following EvidenceStatementSet definition:
EvidenceStatementSet EVIDENCE-STATEMENT ::= {
--- TPM 2.0
{ Tcg-attest-tpm-certify IDENTIFIED BY tcg-attest-tpm-certify },
...,
--- PSA
{ OCTET STRING IDENTIFIED BY { 1 3 6 1 5 5 7 1 99 } }
}
A.2. TPM V2.0 Evidence in CSR
This section describes TPM2 key attestation for use in a CSR.
Ounsworth, et al. Expires 9 January 2025 [Page 26]
Internet-Draft Remote Attestation with CSRs July 2024
This is a complete and canonical example that can be used to test
parsers implemented against this specification. Readers who wish the
sample data may skip to Appendix A.2.6; the following sections
explain the TPM-specific data structures needed to fully parse the
contents of the evidence statement.
A.2.1. TCG Key Attestation Certify
There are several ways in TPM2 to provide proof of a key's
properties. (i.e., key attestation). This description uses the
simplest and most generally expected to used which is the
TPM2_Certify and the TPM2_ReadPublic commands.
A.2.2. TCG OIDs
The OIDs in this section are defined by TCG TCG has a registered arc
of 2.23.133
tcg OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { 2 23 133 }
tcg-kp-AIKCertificate OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-tcg 8 3 }
tcg-attest OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { tcg 20 }
tcg-attest-tpm-certify OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { tcg-attest 1 }
The tcg-kp-AIKCertificate OID in extendedKeyUsage identifies an AK
Certificate in RFC 5280 format defined by TCG. This certificate
would be a certificate in the EvidenceBundle defined in Section 5.2.
(Note: The abbreviation AIK was used in TPM 1.2 specification. TPM
2.0 specifications use the abbreviation AK. The abbreviations are
interchangeable.)
A.2.3. TPM2 AttestationStatement
The EvidenceStatement structure contains a sequence of two fields: a
type and a stmt. The 'type' field contains the OID of the Evidence
format and it is set to tcg-attest-tpm-certify. The content of the
structure shown below is placed into the stmt, which is a
concatenation of existing TPM2 structures. These structures will be
explained in the rest of this section.
Tcg-csr-tpm-certify ::= SEQUENCE {
tpmSAttest OCTET STRING,
signature OCTET STRING,
tpmTPublic OCTET STRING OPTIONAL
}

Internet-Draft Remote Attestation with CSRs July 2024
A.2.4. Introduction to TPM2 concepts
The definitions in the following sections are specified by the
Trusted Computing Group (TCG). TCG specification including the TPM2
set of specifications [TPM20], specifically Part 2 defines the TPM
2.0 structures. Those familiar with TPM2 concepts may skip to
Appendix A.2.3 which defines an ASN.1 structure specific for bundling
a TPM attestation into an EvidenceStatement, and Appendix A.2.6 which
provides the example. For those unfamiliar with TPM2 concepts this
section provides only the minimum information to understand TPM2
Attestation in CSR and is not a complete description of the
technology in general.
A.2.5. TCG Objects and Key Attestation
This provides a brief explanation of the relevant TPM2 commands and
data structures needed to understand TPM2 Attestation used in this
RFC. NOTE: The TPM2 specification used in this explanation is
version 1.59, section number cited are based on that version. Note
also that the TPM2 specification comprises four documents: Part 1:
Architecture; Part 2: Structures; Part 3: Commands; Part 4:
Supporting Routines.
Note about convention: All structures starting with TPM2B_ are:
* a structure that is a sized buffer where the size of the buffer is
contained in a 16-bit, unsigned value.
* The first parameter is the size in octets of the second parameter.
The second parameter may be any type.
A full explanation of the TPM structures is outside the scope of this
document. As a simplification references to TPM2B_ structures will
simply use the enclosed TPMT_ structure by the same name following
the '_'.
A.2.5.1. TPM2 Object Names
All TPM2 Objects (e.g., keys are key objects which is the focus of
this specification). A TPM2 object name is persistent across the
object's life cycle whether the TPM2 object is transient or
persistent.
A TPM2 Object name is a concatenation of a hash algorithm identifier
and a hash of the TPM2 Object's TPMT_PUBLIC.
Name ≔ nameAlg || HnameAlg (handle→publicArea)
nameAlg is a TCG defined 16 bit algorithm identifier
Ounsworth, et al. Expires 9 January 2025 [Page 28]
Internet-Draft Remote Attestation with CSRs July 2024
publicArea is the TPMT_PUBLIC structure for that TPM2 Object.
The size of the Name field can be derived by examining the nameAlg
value, which defines the hashing algorithm and the resulting size.
The Name field is returned in the TPM2B_ATTEST data field.
typedef struct {
TPM_GENERATED magic;
TPMI_ST_ATTEST type;
TPM2B_NAME qualifiedSigner;
TPM2B_DATA extraData;
TPMS_CLOCK_INFO clockInfo;
UINT64 firmwareVersion;
TPMU_ATTEST attested;
} TPMS_ATTEST;
where for a key object the attested field is
typedef struct {
TPM2B_NAME name;
TPM2B_NAME qualifiedName;
} TPMS_CERTIFY_INFO;
A.2.5.2. TPM2 Public Structure
Any TPM2 Object has an associated TPM2 Public structure defined as
TPMT_PUBLIC. This is defined below as a 'C' structure. While there
are many types of TPM2 Objects each with its own specific TPMT_PUBLIC
structure (handled by the use of 'unions') this document will
specifically define TPMT_PUBLIC for a TPM2 key object.
typedef struct {
TPMI_ALG_PUBLIC type;
TPMI_ALG_HASH nameAlg;
TPMA_OBJECT objectAttributes;
TPM2B_DIGEST authPolicy;
TPMU_PUBLIC_PARMS parameters;
TPMU_PUBLIC_ID unique;
} TPMT_PUBLIC;
Where: * type and nameAlg are 16 bit TCG defined algorithms. *
objectAttributes is a 32 bit field defining properties of the object,
as shown below
Ounsworth, et al. Expires 9 January 2025 [Page 29]
Internet-Draft Remote Attestation with CSRs July 2024
typedef struct TPMA_OBJECT {
unsigned Reserved_bit_at_0 : 1;
unsigned fixedTPM : 1;
unsigned stClear : 1;
unsigned Reserved_bit_at_3 : 1;
unsigned fixedParent : 1;
unsigned sensitiveDataOrigin : 1;
unsigned userWithAuth : 1;
unsigned adminWithPolicy : 1;
unsigned Reserved_bits_at_8 : 2;
unsigned noDA : 1;
unsigned encryptedDuplication : 1;
unsigned Reserved_bits_at_12 : 4;
unsigned restricted : 1;
unsigned decrypt : 1;
unsigned sign : 1;
unsigned x509sign : 1;
unsigned Reserved_bits_at_20 : 12;
} TPMA_OBJECT;
* authPolicy is the Policy Digest needed to authorize use of the
object.
* Parameters are the object type specific public information about
the key.
- For key objects, this would be the key's public parameters.
* unique is the identifier for parameters
The size of the TPMT_PUBLIC is provided by the following structure:
typedef struct {
UINT16 size;
TPMT_PUBLIC publicArea;
} TPM2B_PUBLIC;
A.2.5.3. TPM2 Signatures
TPM2 signatures use a union where the first field (16 bits)
identifies the signature scheme. The example below shows an RSA
signature where TPMT_SIGNATURE->sigAlg will indicate to use
TPMS_SIGNATURE_RSA as the signature.
Ounsworth, et al. Expires 9 January 2025 [Page 30]
Internet-Draft Remote Attestation with CSRs July 2024
typedef struct {
TPMI_ALG_SIG_SCHEME sigAlg;
TPMU_SIGNATURE signature;
} TPMT_SIGNATURE;
typedef struct {
TPMI_ALG_HASH hash;
TPM2B_PUBLIC_KEY_RSA sig;
} TPMS_SIGNATURE_RSA;
A.2.5.4. Attestation Key
The uniquely identifying TPM2 key is the Endorsement Key (the EK).
As this is a privacy sensitive key, the EK is not directly used to
attest to any TPM2 asset. Instead, the EK is used by an Attestation
CA to create an Attestation Key (the AK). The AK is assumed trusted
by the Verifier and is assume to be loaded in the TPM during the
execution of the process described in the subsequent sections. The
description of how to create the AK is outside the scope of this
document.
A.2.5.5. Attester Processing
The only signed component is the TPM2B_ATTEST structure, which
returns only the (key's) Name and the signature computed over the
Name but no detailed information about the key. As the Name is
comprised of public information, the Name can be calculated by the
Verifier but only if the Verify knows all the public information
about the Key.
The Attester's processing steps are as follows:
Using the TPM2 command TPM2_Certify obtain the TPM2B_ATTEST and
TPMT_SIGNATURE structures from the TPM2. The signing key for
TPMT_SIGNATURE is an Attention Key (or AK), which is assumed to be
available to the TPM2 upfront. More details are provided in
Appendix A.2.5.4
The TPM2 command TPM2_Certify takes the following input:
* TPM2 handle for Key (the key to be attested to)
* TPM2 handle for the AK (see Appendix A.2.5.4)
It produces the following output:
* TPM2B_ATTEST in binary format
Ounsworth, et al. Expires 9 January 2025 [Page 31]
Internet-Draft Remote Attestation with CSRs July 2024
* TPMT_SIGNATURE in binary format
Then, using the TPM2 command TPM2_ReadPublic obtain the Keys
TPM2B_PUBLIC structure. While the Key's public information can be
obtained by the Verifier in a number ways, such as storing it from
when the Key was created, this may be impractical in many situations.
As TPM2 provided a command to obtain this information, this
specification will include it in the TPM2 Attestation CSR extension.
The TPM2 command TPM2_ReadPublic takes the following input:
* TPM2 handle for Key (the key to be attested to)
It produces the following output:
* TPM2B_PUBLIC in binary format
A.2.5.6. Verifier Processing
The Verifier has to perform the following steps once it receives the
Evidence:
* Verify the TPM2B_ATTEST using the TPMT_SIGNATURE.
* Use the Key's "expected" Name from the provided TPM2B_PUBLIC
structure. If Key's "expected" Name equals
TPM2B_ATTEST->attestationData then returned TPM2B_PUBLIC is the
verified.
A.2.6. Sample CSR
This CSR demonstrates a certification request for a key stored in a
TPM using the following structure:
Ounsworth, et al. Expires 9 January 2025 [Page 32]
Internet-Draft Remote Attestation with CSRs July 2024
CSR {
attributes {
id-aa-evidence {
EvidenceBundles {
EvidenceBundle {
EvidenceStatements {
EvidenceStatement {
type: tcg-attest-tpm-certify,
stmt: <TcgAttestTpmCertify_data>
hint: "tpmverifier.example.com"
}
},
certs {
akCertificate,
caCertificate
}
}
}
}
}
}
Note that this example demonstrates most of the features of this
specification:
* The data type is identified by the OID id-TcgCsrCertify contained
in the EvidenceStatement.type field.
* The signed evidence is carried in the EvidenceStatement.stmt
field.
* The EvidenceStatement.hint provides information to the Relying
Party about which Verifier (software) will be able to correctly
parse this data. Note that the type OID indicates the format of
the data, but that may itself be a wrapper format that contains
further data in a proprietary format. In this example, the hint
says that software from the package "tpmverifier.example.com" will
be able to parse this data.
* The evidence statement is accompanied by a certificate chain in
the EvidenceBundle.certs field which can be used to verify the
signature on the evidence statement. How the Verifier establishes
trust in the provided certificates is outside the scope of this
specification.
Features of this specification that are not demonstrated by this
example are:
Ounsworth, et al. Expires 9 January 2025 [Page 33]
Internet-Draft Remote Attestation with CSRs July 2024
* An EvidenceBundle containing multiple EvidenceStatements that
share a certificate chain.
* Multiple EvidenceBundles that each have their own certificate
chain.

A.3. PSA Attestation Token in CSR
The Platform Security Architecture (PSA) Attestation Token is defined
in [I-D.tschofenig-rats-psa-token] and specifies claims to be
included in an Entity Attestation Token (EAT). [I-D.bft-rats-kat]
defines key attestation based on the EAT format. In this section the
platform attestation offered by [I-D.tschofenig-rats-psa-token] is
combined with key attestation by binding the key attestation token
(KAT) to the platform attestation token (PAT) with the help of the
nonce. For details see [I-D.bft-rats-kat]. The resulting KAT-PAT
bundle is, according to Section 5.1 of [I-D.bft-rats-kat], combined
in a CMW collection [I-D.ietf-rats-msg-wrap].
The encoding of this KAT-PAT bundle is shown in the example below.
