Overall format + +The KRL consists of a header and zero or more sections. The header is: + +#define KRL_MAGIC 0x5353484b524c0a00ULL /* "SSHKRL\n\0" */ +#define KRL_FORMAT_VERSION 1 + + uint64 KRL_MAGIC + uint32 KRL_FORMAT_VERSION + uint64 krl_version + uint64 generated_date + uint64 flags + string reserved + string comment + +Where "krl_version" is a version number that increases each time the KRL +is modified, "generated_date" is the time in seconds since 1970-01-01 +00:00:00 UTC that the KRL was generated, "comment" is an optional comment +and "reserved" an extension field whose contents are currently ignored. +No "flags" are currently defined. + +Following the header are zero or more sections, each consisting of: + + byte section_type + string section_data + +Where "section_type" indicates the type of the "section_data". An exception +to this is the KRL_SECTION_SIGNATURE section, that has a slightly different +format (see below). + +The available section types are: + +#define KRL_SECTION_CERTIFICATES 1 +#define KRL_SECTION_EXPLICIT_KEY 2 +#define KRL_SECTION_FINGERPRINT_SHA1 3 +#define KRL_SECTION_SIGNATURE 4 +#define KRL_SECTION_FINGERPRINT_SHA256 5 + +2. Certificate section + +These sections use type KRL_SECTION_CERTIFICATES to revoke certificates by +serial number or key ID. The consist of the CA key that issued the +certificates to be revoked and a reserved field whose contents is currently +ignored. + + string ca_key + string reserved + +Where "ca_key" is the standard SSH wire serialisation of the CA's +public key. Alternately, "ca_key" may be an empty string to indicate +the certificate section applies to all CAs (this is most useful when +revoking key IDs). + +Followed by one or more sections: + + byte cert_section_type + string cert_section_data + +The certificate section types are: + +#define KRL_SECTION_CERT_SERIAL_LIST 0x20 +#define KRL_SECTION_CERT_SERIAL_RANGE 0x21 +#define KRL_SECTION_CERT_SERIAL_BITMAP 0x22 +#define KRL_SECTION_CERT_KEY_ID 0x23 + +2.1 Certificate serial list section + +This section is identified as KRL_SECTION_CERT_SERIAL_LIST. It revokes +certificates by listing their serial numbers. The cert_section_data in this +case contains: + + uint64 revoked_cert_serial + uint64 ... + +This section may appear multiple times. + +2.2. Certificate serial range section + +These sections use type KRL_SECTION_CERT_SERIAL_RANGE and hold +a range of serial numbers of certificates: + + uint64 serial_min + uint64 serial_max + +All certificates in the range serial_min <= serial <= serial_max are +revoked. + +This section may appear multiple times. + +2.3. Certificate serial bitmap section + +Bitmap sections use type KRL_SECTION_CERT_SERIAL_BITMAP and revoke keys +by listing their serial number in a bitmap. + + uint64 serial_offset + mpint revoked_keys_bitmap + +A bit set at index N in the bitmap corresponds to revocation of a keys with +serial number (serial_offset + N). + +This section may appear multiple times. + +2.4. Revoked key ID sections + +KRL_SECTION_CERT_KEY_ID sections revoke particular certificate "key +ID" strings. This may be useful in revoking all certificates +associated with a particular identity, e.g. a host or a user. + + string key_id[0] + ... + +This section must contain at least one "key_id". This section may appear +multiple times. + +3. Explicit key sections + +These sections, identified as KRL_SECTION_EXPLICIT_KEY, revoke keys +(not certificates). They are less space efficient than serial numbers, +but are able to revoke plain keys. + + string public_key_blob[0] + .... + +This section must contain at least one "public_key_blob". The blob +must be a raw key (i.e. not a certificate). + +This section may appear multiple times. + +4. SHA1/SHA256 fingerprint sections + +These sections, identified as KRL_SECTION_FINGERPRINT_SHA1 and +KRL_SECTION_FINGERPRINT_SHA256, revoke plain keys (i.e. not +certificates) by listing their hashes: + + string public_key_hash[0] + .... + +This section must contain at least one "public_key_hash". The hash blob +is obtained by taking the SHA1 or SHA256 hash of the public key blob. +Hashes in this section must appear in numeric order, treating each hash +as a big-endian integer. + +This section may appear multiple times. + +5. KRL signature sections + +The KRL_SECTION_SIGNATURE section serves a different purpose to the +preceding ones: to provide cryptographic authentication of a KRL that +is retrieved over a channel that does not provide integrity protection. +Its format is slightly different to the previously-described sections: +in order to simplify the signature generation, it includes as a "body" +two string components instead of one. + + byte KRL_SECTION_SIGNATURE + string signature_key + string signature + +The signature is calculated over the entire KRL from the KRL_MAGIC +to this subsection's "signature_key", including both and using the +signature generation rules appropriate for the type of "signature_key". + +This section must appear last in the KRL. If multiple signature sections +appear, they must appear consecutively at the end of the KRL file. + +Implementations that retrieve KRLs over untrusted channels must verify +signatures. Signature sections are optional for KRLs distributed by +trusted means. + +$OpenBSD: PROTOCOL.krl,v 1.5 2018/09/12 01:21:34 djm Exp $ |
