2 Certification Architecture The following figure illustrates a Certification (CA) operated by KeyOne CA and how it interacts with KeyOne (or third party) products to provide registration and publishing options for the status of the certificates. The registration system can be implemented with KeyOne XRA or a corporate application that acts as the RA. A directory, a Web server (not shown in the figure) or KeyOne VA can be used to publish the status of the certificates (using CRLs or OCSP). The HSM (network or internal) used for protecting the private keys of the CA is also shown in the figure. Specifications subject to change without notice. All brand names are registered trademarks of their respective owners. Updated September Functions KeyOne CA can act as a Root CA, Subordinate CA, Cross CA and a Bridge CA. Depending on how it is used, the CA operates in conjunction with the Safelayer KeyOne XRA product or an application that assumes the entity registration functions. KeyOne CA can also operate in conjunction with the KeyOne VA product to provide the digital certificate validation service. The main functions of KeyOne CA are to: Generate and protect the private keys via the use of cryptographic devices (HSM). Automatically manage the life-cycle and the coexistence of the private keys of the CA. Manage recognized RAs and assign them certification policies. Generate the ITU-T X509v3 digital certificates (for users and applications) requested by the RAs. Generate and publish lists of revoked and suspended certificates (CRLs). Report on the status of the digital certificates so the validation service (VA) can publish it via OCSP. Allow the secure protection and retrieval of encryption keys (if they become lost). Guarantee the secure auditing of the events and actions carried out in the system.

3 Validation Description KeyOne VA is suitable for critical processes of electronic signature validation since it provides evidential value and greater efficiency in the verification of the status of the digital certificates (in contrast to the conventional mechanism which are based in revocation lists). KeyOne VA is designed to: Provide reliable information on the status of a digital certificate Benefits Maximum security KeyOne products support defining the roles and events required to operate in compliance with the Security Requirements for Trustworthy Systems Managing Certificates for Electronic Signatures (CWA ). KeyOne VA supports the roles of security operator, system administrator and system auditor. Reliability and control The event system guarantees the integrity of the registered data and that no information is lost. This is possible thanks to an emergency mechanism that is activated when connection to the database is lost. KeyOne also supports selecting automatic events (which are assigned different levels of severity) and defining manual events (for registering actions that occur outside the application). Efficiency for large infrastructures KeyOne VA facilitates managing large volumes of certificates via the KeyOne CertStatus Server publication service. As certificate status updating is optimized, the response efficiency is guaranteed. KeyOne VA supports high availability and scalable architectures. Easy to integrate and accounting KeyOne VA includes an interpreted programming language to define the interaction with information systems. It is possible to customize the system, incorporate new functions, connect to access-control systems and access internal information systems (to complement the information generated).

Updated September KeyOne Validation Functions The main functions of KeyOne VA are to: Store information on the status of the certificates generated by one or more Certification Authorities. The status of a digital certificate is updated by downloading the revocation lists or the information provided by Certification Authorities (CA) that have the KeyOne publication service (KeyOne CertStatus Server) installed. In both cases, updating is performed remotely. Receive user or service-provider requests on the status of the digital certificates used in the signing of electronic transactions. Guarantee the non-repudiation of the responses. These responses are digitally-signed by the Validation and specify the date and status (valid, revoked, cancelled or unknown) of a certificate. To enroute requests to other VAs that can provide authoritative answer for certain digital certificates, as defined in RFC Generate event logs so operators can monitor the system status, its security and to what extent the corporate specifications are being met. Customize the system to tailor response delivery and content to the identity of the requester. Architecture The following figure illustrates the general architecture of KeyOne VA and how it interacts with network components (applications or users) under the IETF OCSP standard. KeyOne VA can operate with a HSM (network or internal) and requires access to a database and a network time source (not shown in the figure). Depending on the configuration of the certificate status update system, KeyOne VA connects regularly to a CA or an LDAP directory. If it connects to a CA, the information on the status of the digital certificates comes from the KeyOne CA databases (which are accessed via the CertStatus service and the Safelayer s NDCCP protocol). If it connects to an LDAP directory, the CRL published in the directory (or in a Web server not shown in the figure) is downloaded. Technical Specifications Online validation protocol: IETF RFC2560.

6 Specifications subject to change without notice. All brand names are registered trademarks of their respective owners. Updated Seprember KeyOne Registration Functions KeyOne XRA operates as a user/application registration service (RA) for requesting the issuing and revocation of digital certificates (in conjunction with KeyOne CA). The system can combine the following registration procedures: Face-to-face. Requesters verify their identity face-to-face to obtain their digital certificates. Once the registration agent approves the request, the keys are generated on the user s cryptographic card, mobile device or PC, depending on the registration policy. For deploying the registration station close to requesters, the agent can use KeyOne LXRA, the KeyOne XRA client application. Remote. Entirely remote certificate request and delivery processes are executed via the Web or in combination with other protocols, such as SCEP and Windows Enrollment. Requests can be pre-authorized (in this case, the requester usually authenticates by password), or the registration agent can approve them after validating the registration details provided by the requester. Automatic. Supports loading requester details from a trusted source, e.g., a HRM database or directory provided by a corporate application that interacts with KeyOne XRA. The connection with KeyOne XRA is performed using XRA s JSON/REST or XML/SOAP interfaces for remotely invoking the registration system s digitalcertificate approval, renewal and revocation functions. The RA can also connect directly with the corporate database or directory to obtain requester details. Architecture The following figure illustrates a Registration (RA) operated by KeyOne XRA and how it interacts with the different components of the architecture and other KeyOne products (KeyOne CA and KeyOne LXRA) to provide the types of registration supported. Optionally, depending on the registration procedure, the RA agent can have the KeyOne LXRA client application connected to a smart card printer (not shown in the figure). Requesters either have PCs for software certificates or certificates on cryptographic cards, or mobile devices for certificates and keys for mobile operating systems. Application certificates for servers and HSMs are also requested via the Web or in combination with the SCEP (Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol), depending on the device.
