 Object Identifier Registry for the S/MIME Mail Security Working Group

Abstract

   When the S/MIME Mail Security Working Group was chartered, an object
   identifier arc was donated by RSA Data Security for use by that
   working group.  This document describes the object identifiers that
   were assigned in that donated arc, transfers control of that arc to
   IANA, and establishes IANA allocation policies for any future
   assignments within that arc.

1.  Introduction

   When the S/MIME Mail Security Working Group was chartered, an object
   identifier arc was donated by RSA Data Security for use by that
   working group.  These object identifiers are primarily used with
   Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) [ASN1-88] [ASN1-08].  The ASN.1
   specifications continue to evolve, but object identifiers can be used
   with any and all versions of ASN.1.

   The S/MIME object identifier arc is:

      id-smime OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) member-body(2)
                  us(840) rsadsi(113549) pkcs(1) pkcs9(9) 16 }

   This document describes the object identifiers that were assigned in
   that donated arc, transfers control of that arc to IANA, and
   establishes IANA allocation policies for any future assignments
   within that arc.

2.  Subordinate Object Identifier Arcs

   Thirteen subordinate object identifier arcs were used, numbered from
   zero to twelve.  They were assigned as follows:

      -- ASN.1 modules
      id-mod  OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-smime  0 }

      -- Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) content types
      id-ct   OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-smime  1 }

      -- attributes
      id-aa   OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-smime  2 }

      -- algorithm identifiers
      id-alg  OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-smime  3 }

      -- certificate distribution
      id-cd   OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-smime  4 }

      -- signature policy qualifier
      id-spq  OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-smime  5 }

      -- commitment type identifier
      id-cti  OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-smime  6 }

      -- test security policies
      id-tsp  OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-smime  7 }

      -- symmetric key distribution control attributes
      id-skd  OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-smime  8 }

      -- signature type identifier
      id-sti  OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-smime  9 }

      -- encoded information types
      id-eit  OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-smime 10 }

       -- S/MIME capabilities
      id-cap  OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-smime 11 }

      -- PSKC attributes
      id-pskc OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-smime 12 }
   The values assigned in each of these subordinate object identifier
   arcs are discussed in the next section.

3.  IANA Considerations

   IANA is asked to update one registry table and create fourteen
   additional tables.

   Updates to the new tables require both Specification Required and
   Expert Review as defined in [RFC5226].  The expert is expected to
   ensure that any new values are strongly related to the work that was
   done by the S/MIME Mail Security Working Group; examples include
   content types, attributes, and identifiers for algorithms used with
   S/MIME and CMS.  Object identifiers for other purposes should not be
   assigned in this arc.

3.1.  Update to "SMI Security for Mechanism Codes" Registry

   The "SMI Security for Mechanism Codes" table generally contains
   entries with a positive integer value, but the value donated by RSA
   Data Security cannot be described in this manner.  An accompanying
   table is needed with this entry:

      OID Value              Name    Description           References
      ---------------------  -----  ---------------------  ----------
      1.2.840.113549.1.9.16  smime   S/MIME Mail Security  This RFC

3.2.  "SMI Security for S/MIME Mail Security" Registry

   Within the SMI-numbers registry, add an "SMI Security for S/MIME Mail
   Security (1.2.840.113549.1.9.16)" table with three columns:

      Decimal  Description                             References
      -------  --------------------------------------  ----------
      0        Module identifiers                      This RFC

   Future updates to this table require both Specification Required and
   Expert Review as defined in [RFC5226].

3.3.  "SMI Security for S/MIME Module Identifier" Registry

   Within the SMI-numbers registry, add an "SMI Security for S/MIME
   Module Identifier (1.2.840.113549.1.9.16.0)" table with three
   columns:

      Decimal  Description                             References

PROBLEMRSA Data Security donated an object identifier arc to the S/MIME Mail Security Working Group, and the working group's assignments in it needed to be written down and given a permanent home.
MECHANISMThe RFC lists the thirteen subordinate arcs that were used, hands control of the arc to IANA, and asks IANA to create registry tables with a Specification Required plus Expert Review policy for future entries.
WHY IT MATTERSThe S/MIME arc is now an IANA-managed registry, with new values limited to work strongly related to S/MIME and CMS.

§1The Donated S/MIME Arc

When the S/MIME Mail Security Working Group was chartered, RSA Data Security donated an object identifier arc for its use. Object identifiers are primarily used with Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1), and they work with any and all versions of ASN.1.

The arc is id-smime, defined as { iso(1) member-body(2) us(840) rsadsi(113549) pkcs(1) pkcs9(9) 16 }. The RFC does three things: it describes the identifiers that were assigned in the arc, it transfers control of the arc to IANA, and it sets IANA allocation policies for future assignments.

A company gave a group a long block of special numbers. This paper explains what the group already used and who is in charge from now on.

§2The Thirteen Subordinate Arcs

Thirteen subordinate arcs were used, numbered from zero to twelve. Each one groups a kind of identifier: id-mod (0) for ASN.1 modules, id-ct (1) for Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) content types, id-aa (2) for attributes, id-alg (3) for algorithm identifiers, and so on up to id-pskc (12) for Portable Symmetric Key Container (PSKC) attributes.

The other arcs cover certificate distribution (4), signature policy qualifiers (5), commitment type identifiers (6), test security policies (7), symmetric key distribution control attributes (8), signature type identifiers (9), encoded information types (10) and S/MIME capabilities (11).

The big block was split into thirteen smaller drawers, and each drawer holds one kind of label, such as one for algorithms and one for attributes.

THE ID-SMIME ARC AND ITS THIRTEEN SUBORDINATE ARCS
  • id-smime 1.2.840.113549.1.9.16
    • id-mod (0)
    • id-ct (1)
    • id-aa (2)
    • id-alg (3)
    • id-cd (4)
    • id-spq (5)
    • id-cti (6)
    • id-tsp (7)
    • id-skd (8)
    • id-sti (9)
    • id-eit (10)
    • id-cap (11)
    • id-pskc (12)

§3What IANA Is Asked to Create

IANA is asked to update one registry table and create fourteen additional tables. The update adds the entry 1.2.840.113549.1.9.16, named smime, to the "SMI Security for Mechanism Codes" registry, because that registry normally holds positive integers and the donated value cannot be described that way.

Each new table lists decimal values, a description and a reference. For example, the module identifier table includes id-mod-cms pointing at RFC 2630, and the content type table includes id-ct-receipt pointing at RFC 2634. Some entries are marked "Reserved and Obsolete".

The office keeps a notebook page for every drawer. Each line says what the number means and which document explains it, and some lines say the number is retired.

§4Rules for Future Assignments

Updates to the new tables require both Specification Required and Expert Review, as defined in RFC 5226. The expert is expected to ensure that any new values are strongly related to the work done by the S/MIME Mail Security Working Group.

Examples the RFC gives are content types, attributes, and identifiers for algorithms used with S/MIME and CMS. Object identifiers for other purposes should not be assigned in this arc.

To get a new number you need a written explanation and an expert who agrees it fits. Numbers for unrelated things belong somewhere else.

§5Security Considerations

The RFC states that it populates an IANA registry and raises no new security considerations. The protocols that specify these values carry the security considerations that go with their usage.

This is just a list of labels, so it does not add new dangers. The documents that use the labels explain their own safety rules.
