Internet-Draft   Informational Add-on for HTTP over SSL/TLS     Nov 2013


1. Introduction

   HTTP over TLS [HTTPTLS] is not limited to e.g.  electronic banking
   sites.  E-commerce is also using this technology on their websites
   for encrypted communication between clients (users) and them.

   A list of a few encryption algorithms:
   
   (1) Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)
   (2) Data Encryption Standard (DES, 3DES)
   (3) Ron's Code 4 (RC4)
   (4) ...

   As an example a list of some kinds of the Camellia encryption
   algorithm [CAMELLIA] (names taken from OpenSSL help [OPENSSL]):

   (1) CAMELLIA-128-CBC: 128-bit Camellia encryption in CBC mode
   (2) CAMELLIA-128-ECB: 128-bit Camellia encryption in ECB mode
   (3) CAMELLIA-192-CBC: 192-bit Camellia encryption in CBC mode
   (4) CAMELLIA-192-ECB: 192-bit Camellia encryption in ECB mode
   (5) CAMELLIA-256-CBC: 256-bit Camellia encryption in CBC mode
   (6) CAMELLIA-256-ECB: 256-bit Camellia encryption in ECB mode
   (7) ...

   A list of possible secure layer used:

   (1) The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Protocol:
       (1a) Version 2.0 [SSLv2]
       (1b) Version 3.0 [SSLv3]

   (2) The Transport Layer Security (TLS) Protocol:
       (2a) Version 1.0 [TLSv1.0]
       (2b) Version 1.1 [TLSv1.1]
       (2c) Version 1.2 [TLSv1.2]

   A list of possible Ciphersuites for Transport Layer Security (TLS):

   (1) Pre-Shared Key Cipher Suites [RFC4279]
   (2) Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) Cipher Suites [RFC4492]
   (3) Pre-Shared Key Cipher Suites with NULL Encryption [RFC4785]
   (4) AES Galois Counter Mode (GCM) Cipher Suites [RFC5288]
   (5) DES and IDEA Cipher Suites [RFC5469]
   (6) ECDHE_PSK Cipher Suites [RFC5489]
   (7) Camellia Cipher Suites [RFC5932]
   (8) ...

   A list of possible Hashing Algorithms:

   (1) the [MD2] Message-Digest Algorithm (historic see [RFC6149])
   (2) the [MD4] Message-Digest Algorithm (historic see [RFC6150])
   (3) the [MD5] Message-Digest Algorithm used commonly in past
   (4) the US Secure Hash Algorithm 1 [SHA1]
   (5) more US Secure Hash Algorithms [RFC6234]
   (6) ...

   Only the X.509 Certificates [RFC5280] are static,  all other
   informations depend on the capabilities of the used web browser.

   Not every browser allows you to view all these informations,
   especially the Cipher Suite the browser has picked for use.

   With most browsers you can view the used X.509 certificates of the
   actual session,  but you have no direct comparison if they are the
   correct ones.

   It is a good practice to show these informations on the website.

   The X.509 certificates which are shown by the browser and those,
   that are shown in this Add-on webpage MUST match;  with other words:

   If they do not match, there is going on a man-in-the-middle attack.

   To give the browser,  a plug-in,  or just a stand-alone program,
   the ability to verify,  that the X.509 certificate is correct,
   the Fingerprint and/or Hash of the X.509 certificates and also some
   additional informations for the community itself are stored in
   the Domain Name System (DNS) [DNS-1,DNS-2] as arbitrary string
   attributes as specified in [RFC1464].

   This SHOULD be seen as an additional specification of the DNS-Based
   Authentication of Named Entities (DANE) [RFC6698] that increases the
   confidence and gives extended informations that can easily be read
   by the community.

1.1. Requirements Notation

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].

2.  Implementing this Add-on

   This Add-on has two parts.

   Section 2.1.  describes the implementation of the neccessary entries
   in the Domain Name System (DNS).

   Section 2.2.  describes the implementation of the additional webpage.

2.1.  Implementing the DNS part

   This part is implemented as an arbitrary string attribute, that has
   at least the following content:

   (1) The Hashes of all X.509 certificates of the whole certificate
       chain
   (2) The number of all X.509 certificates of the whole certificate
       chain
   (3) The used Hashing algorithm as specified in [SHA1] or [RFC6234]:
       (3a) "sha1" for SHA-1
       (3b) "sha224" for SHA-224
       (3c) "sha256" for SHA-256
       (3d) "sha384" for SHA-384
       (3e) "sha512" for SHA-512
   (4) The way the Hashing values were calculated:
       (4a) "0" for Non-packed Base64 encoded Hashes,
            see Section 2.1.1.
       (4b) "1" for Packed Base64 encoded Hashes,
            see Section 2.1.1.1.
   (5) The Date and Time the X.509 certificate is valid,
       for format see Section 2.1.2.

   For Syntax see Section 2.1.3.

2.1.1  Calculating the Hashes

   For calculating the hashes use either [SHA1] or SHA-224,  SHA-256,
   SHA-384,  or SHA-512 as specified in  [RFC6234].

   Take each X.509 certificate of the whole chain and calculate the
   hash of the DER-encoded certificate.

   The example certificates of Appendix A give these SHA-224 hashes
   in hex:

   CA:  00fcc1bb4d09a392f5729a0c1e1ed4247db6b21da1fca9bf6d218db4
   SSL:  eacbdc6c27cba4ecc87b4e953b56c6987d87430b682b1f13031b04de

Internet-Draft   Informational Add-on for HTTP over SSL/TLS     Nov 2013


   and these SHA-512 hashes in hex:

   CA:  6744023893a9a046e713b5615bcf1a267a41da13712f4eb964e496754bd9
        43105a5a3a8b9b071dea25f90fa7aa9c877dcc2ec81a7c97b640b30dd350
        83252078
   SSL:  df0dee228b19aa1eac6d2227d11cb243562058db5a4041b208ed7702869
         98747ed7ba08026791961d338cb2063f3485ec9fe07d5631a8a1b1da340
         25cb8962f5

   Concatenate the binary form of the calculated hashes in the correct
   order beginning at the root.
   Generate the Base64 encoding [RFC4648] from the concatenated hashes.

   This example gives the following Base64 from the concatenated
   SHA-224 hashes:
   
   APzBu00Jo5L1cpoMHh7UJH22sh2h/Km/bSGNtOrL3Gwny6TsyHtOlTtWxph9h0ML
   aCsfEwMbBN4=

   and from the SHA-512 hashes:

   Z0QCOJOpoEbnE7VhW88aJnpB2hNxL065ZOSWdUvZQxBaWjqLmwcd6iX5D6eqnId9
   zC7IGnyXtkCzDdNQgyUgeN8N7iKLGaoerG0iJ9EcskNWIFjbWkBBsgjtdwKGmYdH
   7XuggCZ5GWHTOMsgY/NIXsn+B9VjGoobHaNAJcuJYvU=
   
   Due to size limitations as specified in [DNS-2] Section 2.3.4.  and
   the Syntax as specified in Section 2.1.2.  below
   this Base64 encoded hash MUST NOT be longer than 196 octets.

   This table shows when to use the packed form of calculation explained
   in next Section 2.1.1.1.

      +-----------+--------------+
      | Hashing   | X.509        |
      | algorithm | certificates |
      +-----------+--------------+
      | SHA-1     | 8 or more    |
      +-----------+--------------+
      | SHA-224   | 6 or more    |
      +-----------+--------------+
      | SHA-256   | 5 or more    |
      +-----------+--------------+
      | SHA-384   | 4 or more    |
      +-----------+--------------+
      | SHA-512   | 3 or more    |
      +-----------+--------------+

   Using of the non packed form SHOULD be preferred.

2.1.1.1.  Calculating the Packed form

   The calculation is the same except, that the binary form of the
   concatenated hashes is hashed again using the SHA-512 algorithm.

   Generate the Base64 encoding from this SHA-512 hash.

   The example from the previous Section 2.1.1.  has only two X.509
   certificates.  There would not be any need of packing this by
   hashing again.

   The Base64 encoding of this packed SHA-512 hash is the following:

   4iBTHcxpK4GG0thWbLaq9gQx2UmFDPI2DJDWyeKYk3RmUwS+nkuCXYXR6ED4iGy4
   Ftl5nFcsta9rwMvsaQx/wg==

      NOTE: The algorithm attribute refers to the calculation method
      of the X.509 certificate hashes.  For calculation of the packed
      form there is always used the SHA-512 hashing algorithm.

2.1.2.  Formatting the Date and Time

   The date and time is formatted in GeneralizedTime as
   specified in [RFC5280] Section 4.1.2.5.2.

   For the purposes here, GeneralizedTime values MUST be expressed
   in Greenwich Mean Time (Zulu) and MUST include seconds
   (i.e., times are YYYYMMDDHHMMSSZ), even where the number of seconds
   is zero.  GeneralizedTime values MUST NOT include fractional seconds.

2.1.3.  Arbitrary String Attribute Syntax

   The syntax for a complete arbitrary string attribute, using the
   ABNF notation and core rules of [RFC5234], is:

      attribute = DQUOTE
                  attr-algo 1*SP     ; (3)
                  attr-count 1*SP    ; (2)
                  attr-packed 1*SP   ; (4)
                  attr-time 1*SP     ; (5)
                  attr-hashes 1*SP   ; (1)
                  DQUOTE

      attr-algo = "a=" hash-algo ";"
      attr-count = "c=" cert-count ";"
      attr-packed = "f=" packed-form ";"
      attr-time = "v=" valid-time-from "-" valid-time-to ";"
      attr-hashes = "x=" cert-hashes ";"

      cert-count = DIGIT  ; number of X.509 certificates of
                          ;  the whole certificates chain

      cert-hashes = base64-string
                          ; base64 encoding of the certificates
                          ;  hashes

      hash-algo = 1*("sha1" / "sha224" / "sha256" / "sha384" /
                     "sha512")

      packed-form = 1BIT  ; "0" non-packed base64 encoded hashes,
                          ; "1" packed base64 encoded hashes

      valid-time-from = time-str
      valid-time-to = time-str

      base64-string = 1*(ALPHA / DIGIT / "+" / "/") [ "=" [ "=" ] ]

      time-str = time-year time-month time-day time-hours time-minutes
                 time-seconds "Z"

      time-year = 4DIGIT
      time-month = 2DIGIT
      time-day = 2DIGIT
      time-hours = 2DIGIT
      time-minutes = 2DIGIT
      time-seconds = 2DIGIT

   The example from Section 2.1.1.  gives these:

2.1.4.  DNS-entry Namespace

   For this Add-on a subdomain named "_sslinfo" is used.

      INFORMATIVE OPERATIONAL NOTE: Wildcard DNS records (e.g.,
      *._sslinfo.example.com) are only used in context with
      Wildcard X.509 certificates.  Note also that wildcards within
      domains (e.g., s._sslinfo.*.example.com) are not supported by
      the DNS.

   The DNS entries in the Zone file for this example look like these:

   ; IPv4 address
   www.example.com.           IN A 192.0.2.1

   ; IPv6 address
   www.example.com.           IN AAAA 2001:db8::1

Internet-Draft   Informational Add-on for HTTP over SSL/TLS     Nov 2013


2.2.1.  Webpage Content

   The informations MUST be the following:

   (1) The actual date and time

   (2) The cipher specification name

   (3) Number of cipher bits (actually used)
   (4) Number of cipher bits (possible)

   (5) The SSL Protocol version: SSLv2,  SSLv3,
       TLSv1.0,  TLSv1.1,  TLSv1.2, ...

   (6) If cipher is an export cipher: false, true
   (7) If secure renegotiation is supported: false, true

   (8) Algorithm used for the public key of server's certificate
   (9) Algorithm used for the signature of server's certificate
   (10) Issuer DN of server's certificate
   (11) Subject DN in server's certificate
   (12) The serial of the server certificate
   (13) The version of the server certificate
   (14) Validity of server's certificate (start time)
   (15) Validity of server's certificate (end time)

   (16) Client certificate verification:
        NONE, SUCCESS, GENEROUS or FAILED:reason

   (17) SSL compression method negotiated: NULL when disabled

   For connections where X.509 certificates are used for authentication
   these informations are RECOMMENDED:

   (18) Algorithm used for the public key of client's certificate
   (19) Algorithm used for the signature of client's certificate
   (20) Issuer DN of client's certificate
   (21) Subject DN in client's certificate

   These OPTIONAL informations depend on the used software:

   (29) The SSL-module program version: e.g. Apache mod_ssl version
   (30) The SSL program version: e.g. OpenSSL version

   See Appendix C for a sample content.

2.2.2.  Formating and Presenting the Webpage

   You SHALL present this information simple,  plain Text is enough.
   When using HTML,  only relative references as defined in [RFC3986]
   Section 4.2.  MAY be used.  It is RECOMMENDED to use only a subset
   of [HTML2.0].

   The actual date and time SHALL be formatted as specified in [RFC5322]
   Section 3.3.  The time MUST NOT differ more than 5 seconds from the
   real date/time.

   Any translation or sorting the order of this content is OPTIONAL.

   Consider using either one of the charactersets as specified
   in [ISO8859] or the UTF-8 characterset as specified in [ISO10646].

3.  DNS part Details

3.1.  Handling Certificate Rollover

   This is analogous to [RFC6698] Section A.4.

   Suppose www.example.com has a single TXT record:

   www._sslinfo.example.com.  IN TXT "a=SHA224; ...; x=Z0QCO..."

   To start the rollover process, obtain or generate the new certificate
   or SubjectPublicKeyInfo to be used after the rollover and generate
   the new TXT record.  Add that record alongside the old one:

   www._sslinfo.example.com.  IN TXT "a=SHA224; ...; x=Z0QCO..."
   www._sslinfo.example.com.  IN TXT "a=SHA384; ...; x=A078x..."

   After the new records have propagated to the authoritative
   nameservers and the TTL of the old record has expired, switch to the
   new certificate on the Web server.  Once this has occurred, the old
   TXT record can be removed:

   www._sslinfo.example.com.  IN TXT "a=SHA384; ...; x=A078x..."

   This completes the certificate rollover.

Internet-Draft   Informational Add-on for HTTP over SSL/TLS     Nov 2013


3.2.  Verification Procedure

   When the webbrowser or a plug-in honors the additional DNS entries,
   it SHOULD give a warning to the user:

   (1) when it doesn't find the entry
   (2) when the entry doesn't match

   In case the DNS entries were retrieved by [DNSSEC] instead of simple
   DNS,  then the user MUST give a permission to go further, when one
   of the two scenarios occurs.

   The user MAY be warned,  but MUST NOT be prevented to use the
   website.

4.  IANA Considerations

   There are no requests for IANA actions in this document.

5.  Security Considerations

   When implementing the HTTP part as a popup window in the browser,
   this information MUST also be available with enabled popup-blocker.

   The implementation MUST NOT use any scripts, that run on client side:
   e.g. Javascript, ...

   There SHOULD also be no references to other websites inside this
   Add-on page.

6.  Acknowledgements

7.  Recommendations

   [DNSSEC] SHOULD be used for the DNS part.

   Using a standardized URL for the HTTP part is RECOMMENDED,
   for more see Discussions at Section 9.

Internet-Draft   Informational Add-on for HTTP over SSL/TLS     Nov 2013


B.  Script Examples for the Add-on webpage

   Use the following script examples as a template for your
   implementation of this Add-on webpage.

   The first two examples generate identical content in plain
   ASCII-text,  the third example makes use of HTML and is a
   compiled C program.

   Script Examples:

   B.1.  PHP-script
   B.2.  CGI-script: A BASH shell script,  for most Linux systems
   B.3.  CGI-script: A compiled C program,  for any other system


B.1.  PHP-script

   <CODE BEGINS>
   <?php

   header( "Content-type: text/plain" );

   print "SSL informations: " . date( "r" ) . "\r\n";
   print "================\r\n\r\n";

   if ( isset( $_SERVER['HTTPS'] ) &&
        ( $_SERVER['HTTPS'] == "on" ) ) {
     $list = array( );
     $nmbrOfValues = 0;

     foreach ( $_SERVER as $key => $value ) {
       if ( substr( $key, 0, 4 ) == "SSL_" ) {
         $list[ $nmbrOfValues++ ] = $key . "=" . $value;
       }
     }

     sort( $list );   // sort content before printing ...

     for ( $iter = 0; $iter < $nmbrOfValues; $iter++ ) {
       print $list[ $iter ] . "\r\n";
     }
   }
   else {
     echo "No SSL information available.\r\n";
   }
   ?>
   <CODE ENDS>

B.2.  CGI-script: A BASH shell script,  for most Linux systems

   <CODE BEGINS>
   #!/bin/bash

   echo -e -n "Content-type: text/plain\n\n"

   echo -e -n "SSL informations: $(date --rfc-2822)\n"
   echo -e -n "================\n\n"

   if [ "$HTTPS" == "on" ]; then
     env | grep --regexp="^SSL_" | sort
   else
     echo -e -n "No SSL information available.\n"
   fi
   <CODE ENDS>


B.3.  CGI-script: A compiled C program,  for any other system

   This CGI-script is a compiled C program,  and in comparison to the
   other 2 examples,  it makes use of HTML.

   For compiling this program any C compiler SHOULD be suitable.  Be
   sure your runtime supports the function strftime with standard format
   specifiers.

   <CODE BEGINS>
   #include <stdio.h>
   #include <stdlib.h>
   #include <string.h>
   #include <time.h>

   #ifdef __linux__
   #include <unistd.h>
   #endif

   const char* pszHtmlEndPart [ ] = { "<HR>",
     "<ADDRESS>https at www.example.com Port 443</ADDRESS>",
     "</BODY>",
     "</HTML>" };

   const char* pszHtmlBeginPart[ ] = {
     "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC \"-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN\">",
     "<HTML>",
     "<HEAD>",
     "<TITLE>SSL informations</TITLE>",
     "</HEAD>",

C.  Sample Content of the Add-on webpage

   The first example shows a complete sample content in sorted order.
   The second example shows the client certificate part,  in case client
   certificate authentication is used.  The other two examples show only
   the part that may differ when the browser picks another cipher suite.

   For meaning of the numbers in brackets of the examples see
   Section 2.2.1.

   C.1a.  ...,  the client certificate part
   C.2.  Picking another cipher suite
