6 Profile of Server Processing Rules
7 Profile of Client Processing Rules
The DSS signing and verifying protocols are defined in [DSS Core] and the code-signing profile of the DSS signing and verification protocols are defined in [DSS CS]. As defined in those documents, these protocols have a fair degree of flexibility and extensibility. This document profiles these protocols to limit their flexibility and extend them in concrete ways. It also profiles the processing rules followed by clients and servers when using these protocols, and profiles the J2ME signature format for use with these protocols. The resulting profile is suitable for implementation and interoperability.
The following sections describe how to understand the rest of this document.
1.1 Notation
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD",
"SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this specification are to be interpreted as described in IETF RFC 2119 [RFC 2119]. These keywords are capitalized when used to unambiguously specify requirements over protocol features and behavior that affect the interoperability and security of implementations. When these words are not capitalized, they are meant in their natural-language sense.
This specification uses the following typographical conventions in text: <ns:Element>, Attribute, Datatype, OtherCode.
1.2 Namespaces
The structures described in this specification are contained in the schema file [J2ME-CS-XSD]. All schema listings in the current document are excerpts from the schema file. In the case of a disagreement between the schema file and this document, the schema file takes precedence.
This schema is associated with the following XML namespace:
urn:oasis:names:tc:dss:1.0:profiles:codesigning:1.0:J2ME:1.0
If a future version of this specification is needed, it will use a different namespace.
Conventional XML namespace prefixes are used in this document:
· The prefix dsscsj2me: (or no prefix) stands for the DSS code-signing namespace [CS-XSD].
· The prefix dsscs: stands for the DSS code-signing namespace [CS-XSD].
· The prefix async: stands for this profiles namespace [Async-XSD].
· The prefix dss: stands for the DSS core namespace [Core-XSD].
· The prefix ds: stands for the W3C XML Signature namespace [XMLSig].
Applications MAY use different namespace prefixes, and MAY use whatever namespace defaulting/scoping conventions they desire, as long as they are compliant with the Namespaces in XML specification [XML-ns].
1.3 Overview (Non-normative)
The [DSS-CS] abstract profile provides a profile of [DSS-Core] and combines it with the [DSS-Async] profile. The [DSS-CS] profile allow for the generation of signatures on content, including software programs, and is flexible enough to accommodate the typical scenarios encountered in the software development lifecycle.
This specification provides a concrete profile based on [DSS-CS] for requesting the generation of signatures as specified in the Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME), Mobile Information Device Profile 2.0 [MIDP 2.0].
2.1 Identifier
urn:oasis:names:tc:dss:1.0:profiles:codesigning:1.0:J2ME:1.0
2.2 Scope
This document further profiles the abstract profile for code-signing as described in [DSS CS], which is a profile of the DSS signing protocol defined in [DSS Core] in combination with [DSS Async].
2.3 Relationship To Other Profiles
This profile is a concrete profile of the abstract code-signing profile defined in [DSS CS].
2.4 Signature Object
This profile supports the creation of signatures as defined in [MIDP 2.0]. [MIDP 2.0] defines the use of EMSA-PKCS1-v1_5 as defined in [RFC 2437].
2.5 Transport Binding
This profile is transported using the HTTP POST Transport Binding defined in [DSS Core].
2.6 Security Binding
This profile is secured using the TLS X.509 Mutual Authentication Binding defined in [DSS Core].
3.1 Element <dss:SignRequest>
3.1.1 Element <dss:OptionalInputs>
Optional inputs MUST be used as defined in [DSS CS].
The following optional inputs defined in the [DSS Core] will not be understood by a server implementing this profile:
· <dss:AddTimeStamp>
· <dss:SignedReference>
· <dss:Properties>
· <dss:SignaturePlacement>
· <dss:EnvelopingSignature>
In addition the following constraints are placed on the optional inputs as described below.
3.1.1.1 Element <dss:SignatureType>
The <dss:SignatureType> MUST contain the identifier urn:ietf:rfc:2437:RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5. This refers to PKCS #1 version 1.5 signatures as defined in [RFC 2437].
3.1.1.2 Element <dss:ServicePolicy>
The <dss:ServicePolicy> SHOULD be used to indicate a specific server signing policy. The server signing policy is mapped to the recommended security policy for GSM/UMTS compliant devices in [MIDP 2.0]. The following URIs may be used to specify the service policy and corresponding domain under which the MIDlet must be signed.
For code that should execute in the manufacturer domain use:
urn:oasis:names:tc:dss:1.0:profiles:codesigning:1.0:J2ME:1.0:manufacturer
For code that should execute in the operator domain use:
urn:oasis:names:tc:dss:1.0:profiles:codesigning:1.0:J2ME:1.0:operator
For code that should execute in the trusted third party domain use:
urn:oasis:names:tc:dss:1.0:profiles:codesigning:1.0:J2ME:1.0:trustedisv
3.1.2 Element <dss:InputDocuments>
The server MUST accept <dss:Document> inputs and MUST NOT accept <dss:DocumentHash> inputs. A server that implements this profile MUST respond with a <dss:ResultMajor> code of urn:oasis:names:tc:dss:1.0:resultmajor:RequesterError as defined in [DSS Core] if it receives a <dss:DocumentHash> input.
The <dss:Document> element MUST include the Base64 encoded J2ME JAR file on which the signature must be calculated within a <dss:Base64Data> element. The MimeType attribute MUST be set to application/java-archive. Only one <Document> element MUST be submitted.
3.2 Element <dss:SignResponse>
3.2.1 Element <dss:Result>
This profile defines no additional <dss:ResultMinor> codes.
3.2.2 Element <dss:OptionalOutputs>
None of the optional outputs specified in the [DSS Core] are precluded in this abstract profile. In addition this profile defines the following <dss:OptionalOutputs>:
· <X509CertificatePath>
In addition, the <dss:OptionalOutputs> element MAY contain a <dss:Document> element.
3.2.2.1 Element <X509CertificatePath>
This element defines the certificate path including the certificate containing the public key required to verify the signature generated on the JAR file submitted by the client and all intermediary certificates, excluding the root certificate. The client MAY use this information to determine the appropriate entries in the Java Application Descriptor file (JAD) file that is distributed with the JAR file containing the MIDP 2.0 application. The server may return multiple <X509CertificatePath> elements. The orders of the <X509CertificatePath> elements are significant. The first <X509CertificatePath> element corresponds to the first certificate path, identified by n=1 in the JAD file, the second <X509CertificatePath> element corresponds to the second certificate path, identified by n=2, in the JAD file, the j’th <X509CertificatePath> element corresponds to the j’th certificate path, identified by n=j, in the JAD file. The <X509CertificatePath> element contains the following elements:
<X509Certificate>
The <X509Certificate> element contains a base64-encoded X.509 v3 certificate.
The order of the <X509Certificate> elements are significant. The first <X509Certificate> element contains the signing certificate and corresponds
to m=1 in the JAD file for the current <X509CertificatePath> element, the second <X509Certificate> element contains the first intermediary certificate and
corresponds to m=2 the current <X509CertificatePath> element, the k’th <X509Certificate> element contains the k-1’st intermediary certificate that
issued the k-2’nd intermediary cert.
<xs:element name="X509CertificatePath"
type="dsscsj2me:X509CertificatePathType"/>
<xs:complexType name="X509CertificatePathType">
<xs:sequence maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:element ref="dsscsj2me:X509Certificate"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:element name="X509Certificate"
type="dsscsj2me:X509CertificateType"/>
<xs:simpleType name="X509CertificateType">
<xs:restriction base="xs:base64Binary"/>
</xs:simpleType>
3.2.2.2 Element <dss:Documents>
The server MAY include the J2ME JAR file on which the signature was created as an optional output using the <dss:Documents> element. If the <dss:Document> element is included in the response as an optional output, it MUST include the Base64 encoded J2ME JAR file within a <dss:Base64Data> element. The included J2ME JAR file MUST be the file on which the signature included in the <dss:SignatureObject> was calculated. The MimeType attribute MUST be set to application/java-archive.
3.2.3 Element <dss:SignatureObject>
The server MUST return a Base64 encoded PKCS #1 signature within the <Base64Signature> element. The <dss:SignatureObject> element MUST NOT contain any other elements.
This [DSS CS] profile does not provide a profile of the DSS verification messages and consequently a server implementing this profile MUST NOT respond to any <dss:VerifyRequest> messages.
The J2ME MIDP 2.0 signature format is fully defined in [MIDP 2.0] and no further profiling is required.
The signature must be calculated on the Base64 decoded JAR file. The server processing rules defined in [DSS CS] SHOULD be followed.
Client processing rules as defined in [DSS CS] SHOULD be followed.
