+Section 1. Introduction
+
+Public key technology is becoming more widely deployed and is becoming
+the basis for standards based security, such as the Internet Engineering
+Task Force's IPSEC and IKE protocols. With the use of public key
+certificates in network security protocols comes the need for a
+certificate management protocol that Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)
+clients and Certificate Authority servers can use to support certificate
+life cycle operations such as certificate enrollment and revocation, and
+certificate and CRL access.
+
+In the following, Section 2 gives an overview of the PKI operations,
+and Section 2.4 describes the security goals of the protocol and the
+mechanisms used to achieve them. The transport protocol and the
+security protocol PKCS#7 are described at Section 3 and Section 4,
+respectively. The last section, Section 5, specifies each PKI
+operation in terms of the message formats and the data structures of
+each operation.
+
+The appendices provide detailed specifications and examples. Requester
+subject names are specified in Appendix A, attribute OIDs are
+specified in Appendix C , and the SCEP state transitions are described
+in Appendix E. An example of a certificate enrollment request is
+provided in Appendix B, and an example LDAP query URL encoding is
+provided in Appendix D.
+
+The authors would like to thank Peter William of ValiCert, Inc.
+(formerly of Verisign, Inc) and Alex Deacon of Verisign, Inc. and
+Christopher Welles of IRE, Inc. for their contributions to this protocol
+and to this document.

+
+2.0 The Goal of SCEP
+The goal of SCEP is to support the secure issuance of certificates to
+network devices in a scalable manner, using existing technology whenever
+possible. The protocol supports the following operations:
+
+ CA and RA public key distribution
+ Certificate enrollment
+ Certificate revocation
+ Certificate query
+ CRL query
+
+Certificate and CRL access can be achieved by using the LDAP protocol
+(as specified in Appendix D), or by using the query messages defined in
+SCEP. The use of HTTP certificate and CRL access, and the support of
+CDP as specified in RFC2459, will be specified in a future version of
+this document. In Section 2.1, we first define PKI entity types as well
+as the properties of each entity type. In Section 2.2, the PKI
+operations are described at functional level. Section 2.3 describes the
+transaction behavior of each PKI operations. The complete PKI messages
+are covered in Section 5.
+
+2.1 SCEP Entity types
+
+The entity types defined in SCEP are the "requester" type (i.e., IPSEC
+clients), the Certificate Authority (CA) entity type, and the
+Registration Authority entity type (RA). A requester is sometimes
+called a "SCEP client" in the following.
+
+2.1.1 Requesters
+
+A requester is an entity whose name is defined in a certificate
+subject name field and optionally, in SubjectAltName, a X.509
+certificate V3 extension. As a requester, a SCEP client is identified
+by a subject name consisting of the following naming attributes:
+
+ Fully qualified domain name, for example, router.cisco.com
+ IP address, Serial number, and/or x.500 distinguished name
+
+The fully qualified domain name is required for a requester that intends
+to use the certificate for ISAKMP. The IP address, serial number, and
+x.500 distinguished name are optional name attributes. In the
+certificate enrollment request, the PKCS#10 subject field contains the
+required and optional name attributes. The distinguished name, if any,
+should be the subject name field, while any domain name, serial number,
+or IP address supplied should be in the subjectAltName field. The
+subject name field may be empty (if there is no distinguished name)
+or the subjectAltName may be omitted, but not both.
+
+It is important to note that a client named as Alice.cisco.com is
+different than a client named as Alice.cisco.com plus the IP address
+name attribute 117.96.1.219. From CA point of view, the Distinguished
+names assigned in these two cases are distinct names.
+
+
+ Liu/Madson/McGrew/Nourse [Page 4]
+
+Cisco Systems' Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol Feb 2005
+
+Entity names which are specified as in the IPSEC profile (i.e., FQDN, IP
+address and User FQDN) must be presented in certificate's SubjectAltName
+extension. Multiple IPSEC entity names, (if any) are encoded as multiple
+values of a single SubjectAltName extension. The CA has the authority
+to assign a distinguished name to a requester, whether or not one was
+included in the request. The assigned DN should contain the SCEP client
+names as the relative DN.
+
+The attribute identifiers and an example of SCEP client subject name are
+specified in Appendix A. Appendix B has an example from Cisco VPN Client
+enrollment request.
+
+2.1.1.1 Local Key/Certificate/CRL Storage and Certificate-name uniqueness
+
+A requester is required to generate asymmetric key pairs and to provide
+storage to store its private keys. If the requester does not have enough
+permanent memory to save its certificate, then it should be able to query
+its own certificate from the CA or an LDAP server, once the certificate
+has been issued. The public key pairs can be generated with a specific
+key usage. The key usage is conveyed to the CA through the certificate
+enrollment request. All current SCEP client implementations expect that
+there will be only one pair of keys for a given subject name
+and key usage combination and CA, at any time. This property is called
+the certificate-name uniqueness property, and it implies that a CA that
+implements SCEP will enforce the unique mapping between a SCEP client
+subject name and its key pairs with a given key usage. At any time, if
+the subject name is changed, or if the key is updated, the existing
+certificate would have to be revoked before a new one could be issued.
+
+It is desirable that the CA enforce certificate-name uniqueness, but
+it is not mandatory. However a CA that does not enforce uniqueness
+must provide some other mechanism to prevent the re-transmission of an
+enrollment request by a SCEP client from creating a second certificate
+or certificate request, nor can the second request merely be rejected.
+If a client times out from polling for a pending request it can
+resynchronize by reissuing the original request with the original
+subject name, key, and transaction ID. This should return the status of
+the original transaction, including the certificate if it was granted.
+It should not create a new transaction unless the original cert has been
+revoked, or the transaction arrives more than halfway through the
+validity time of the original certificate.
+
+An enrollment request that occurs more than halfway through the validity
+time of an existing certificate for the same subject name and key usage
+MAY be interpreted as a re-enrollment or renewal request and accepted.
+A new certificate with new validity dates may be issued, even though
+the old one is still valid, if the CA policy permits, as described in
+2.1.1.3. See also appendix G.
+
+2.1.1.2 Requester authentication
+
+As with every protocol that uses public-key cryptography, the
+association between the public keys used in the protocol and the
+identities with which they are associated must be authenticated in a
+ Liu/Madson/McGrew/Nourse [Page 5]
+
+Cisco Systems' Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol Feb 2005
+
+cryptographically secure manner. This requirement is needed to
+prevent a "man in the middle" attack, in which an adversary that can
+manipulate the data as it travels between the protocol participants
+can subvert the security of the protocol. To satisfy this
+requirement, SCEP provides two authentication methods: manual
+authentication, and authentication based on pre-shared secret. In the
+manual mode, the requester is required to wait until its identity can
+be verified by the CA operator using any reliable out-of-band
+method. To prevent a "man-in-the-middle" attack, a SHA-1 or MD5
+`fingerprint' generated on the PKCS#10 (before PKCS #7 enveloping and
+signing) must be compared out-of-band between the server and the
+requester. SCEP clients and CAs (or RAs, if appropriate) must display
+this fingerprint to the operator to enable this verification if manual
+mode is used. Failing to provide this information leaves the protocol
+vulnerable to attack by sophisticated adversaries. When utilizing a
+pre-shared secret scheme, the server should distribute a shared secret
+to the requester which can uniquely associate the enrollment request
+with the given end entity. The distribution of the secret must be
+private: only the end entity should know this secret. The actual
+binding mechanism between the requester and the secret is subject to
+the server policy and implementation. When creating the enrollment
+request, the requester is asked to provide a challenge password. When
+using the pre-shared secret scheme, the requester must enter the
+re-distributed secret as the password. In the manual authentication
+case, the challenge password only used to authenticate a request for
+the certificate's revokation. This challenge password is included as
+a PKCS#10 attribute, and is sent to the server as encrypted data. The
+PKCS#7 envelope protects the privacy of the challenge password with
+DES encryption.
+
+2.1.1.3 Requester Uses Existing CA-Issued or Self-Signed Certificates
+
+In this protocol, the communication between the requester and the
+certificate authority is secured by using PKCS#7 as the messaging
+protocol. PKCS#7, however, is a protocol which assumes the
+communicating entities already possess the peer's certificates and
+requires both parties use the issuer names and issuer assigned
+certificate serial numbers to identify the certificate in order to
+verify the signature and decrypt the message. If the requesting
+system already has a certificate issued by the CA, that certificate
+may be presented as credentials for the renewal of that certificate if
+the CA supports the "Renewal" capability and the CA policy permits the
+certificate to be renewed. If the requester has no certificate issued
+by the CA, or if the CA does not support and permit renewal, the
+requestor must generate a self-signed certificate with the requester
+subject name (the same name later used in the PKCS#10) as both issuer
+and subject name. During the certificate enrollment, the requester
+will first post itself as the signing authority by attaching the
+self-signed certificate to the signed certificate request. When the
+Certificate Authority makes the envelope on the issued certificate
+using the public key included in the self-signed certificate, it
+should use the same issuer name and serial number as conveyed in the
+self-signed certificate to inform the end entity on which private key
+should be used to open the envelope.
+ Liu/Madson/McGrew/Nourse [Page 6]
+
+Cisco Systems' Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol Feb 2005
+
+Note that when a client enrolls for separate encryption and signature
+certificates, it may use the signature certificate to sign both
+requests, and then expect its signature key to be used to encrypt
+both responses. In any case, the recipientinfo on the envelope should
+reflect the key used to encrypt the request.
+
+2.1.1.4 Trusted CA Store
+
+To support interoperability between IPSEC peers whose certificates are
+issued by different CA, SCEP allows the users to configure multiple
+trusted certificates. Trusted certificates are have been configured as
+such in the client, based on some out-of-band means such as a "fingerprint".
+These trusted certificates are used to verify certificate chains that end
+in those certificates.
+
+2.1.2 Certificate Authority
+
+A Certificate Authority(CA) is an entity whose name is defined in the
+certificate issuer name field. Before any PKI operations can begin,
+the CA generates its own public key pair and creates a self-signed CA
+certificate, or causes another CA to issue a certificate to it.
+Associated with the CA certificate is a fingerprint which will be used
+by the requester to authenticate the received CA certificate if it is
+self-signed. The fingerprint is created by calculating a SHA-1 or MD5
+hash on the whole CA certificate. Before any requester can start its
+enrollment, this CA certificate has to be configured at the entity
+side securely. For IPSEC clients, the client certificates must have
+SubjectAltName extension. To utilize LDAP as a CRL query protocol,
+the certificates must have a CRL Distribution Point. Key usage is
+optional. Without key usage, the public key is assumed as a general
+purpose public key and it can be used for all the purposes.
+
+A Certificate Authority may enforce certain name policy. When using
+X.500 directory name as the subject name, all the name attributes
+specified in the PKCS#10 request should be included as Relative DN. All
+the name attributes as defined in RFC2459 should be specified in the
+SubjectAltName. An example is provided in Appendix A.
+
+ If there is no LDAP query protocol support, the Certificate Authority
+should answer certificate and CRL queries, and to this end it should be
+online all the time.
+
+The updating of the CA's public key is addressed in Appendix G.
+
+2.1.3 Registration Authorities
+
+In an environment where an RA is present, a requester performs
+enrollment through the RA. In order to setup a secure channel with an RA
+using PKCS#7, the RA certificate(s) have to be obtained by the client
+in addition to the CA certificate(s).
+
+In the following, the CA and RA are specified as one entity in the
+context of PKI operation definitions.
+ Liu/Madson/McGrew/Nourse [Page 7]
+Cisco Systems' Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol Feb 2005
+2.2 SCEP Operations Overview
+
+In this section, we give a high level overview of the PKI operations as
+defined in SCEP.
+
+2.2.1 Requester Initialization
+
+The requester initialization includes the key pair generation and the
+configuring of the required information to communicate with the
+certificate authority.
+
+2.2.1.1 Key Pairs
+
+Before a requester can start PKI transaction, it must have at least one
+asymmetric key pair, using the selected algorithm (the RSA algorithm is
+required in SCEP, and is the only algorithm in current implementations).
+
+Key pairs may be intended for particular purposes, such as encryption only,
+or signing only. The usage of any associated certificate can be restricted
+by adding key usage and extended key usage attributes to the PKCS#10.
+
+2.2.1.2 Required Information
+
+A requester is required to have the following information configured
+before starting any PKI operations:
+
+1. the certificate authority IP address or fully-qualified domain name,
+2. the certificate authority HTTP CGI script path, and
+ the HTTP proxy information in case there is no direct Internet
+ connection to the server,
+3. If CRLs are being published by the CA to an LDAP directory server,
+ and there is a CRL Distribution Point containing only an X.500 directory
+ name, then the client will need to know the LDAP server fully-qualified
+ domain name or IP address. CRL Distribution Points are discussed in
+ more detail in RFC 2459.
+
+
+2.2.2 CA/RA Certificate Distribution
+
+Before any PKI operation can be started, the requester needs to get
+the CA/RA certificates. At this time, since no public key has been
+
+ Liu/Madson/McGrew/Nourse [Page 8]
+
+Cisco Systems' Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol Feb 2005
+
+exchanged between the requester and the CA/RA, the message to get the
+CA/RA certificate can not be secured using PKCS#7 protocol. Instead, the
+CA/RA certificate distribution is implemented as a clear HTTP Get
+operation. After the requester gets the CA certificate, it has to
+authenticate the CA certificate by comparing the finger print with the
+CA/RA operator. Since the RA certificates are signed by the CA, there is
+no need to authenticate the RA certificates.
+
+This operation is defined as a transaction consisting of one HTTP Get
+message and one HTTP Response message:
+
+ REQUESTER CA SERVER
+ Get CA/RA Cert: HTTP Get message
+ ----------------------------->
+ CA/RA Cert download: HTTP Response message
+ <---------------------------------------
+ Compute finger print and
+ call CA operator.
+ Receive call and check finger print
+
+If an RA is in use, a degenerated PKCS#7 with a certificate chain
+consisting of both RA and CA certificates is sent back to the end
+entity. Otherwise the CA certificate is directly sent back as the
+HTTP response payload.
+
+
+2.2.3 Certificate Enrollment
+
+A requester starts an enrollment transaction by creating a certificate
+request using PKCS#10 and sends it to the CA/RA enveloped using the
+PKCS#7. After the CA/RA receives the request, it will either
+automatically approve the request and send the certificate back, or it
+will require the requester to wait until the operator can manually
+authenticate the identity of the requester. Two attributes are
+included in the PKCS#10 certificate request - a Challenge Password
+attribute and an optional ExtensionReq attribute which will be a
+sequence of extensions the requester would like to be included in its
+V3 certificate extensions. The Challenge Password may be used to
+authenticate either the enrollment request itself, or a verbal
+revocation request for the issued certificate in the event of key
+compromise or other reason.
+
+In the automatic mode, the transaction consists of one PKCSReq PKI
+Message, and one CertRep PKI message. In the manual mode, the requester
+enters into polling mode by periodically sending a GetCertInitial PKI
+message to the server, until the server operator completes the manual
+authentication, after which the CA will respond to GetCertInitial by
+returning the issued certificate. A CA MAY run in automatic mode for
+preapproved requests, and manual mode for the rest. A request with a
+non-null password is not necessarily a pre-approved request. It is up
+to the CA server to decide. Polling mode is entered whenever the
+server returns a PENDING response.

+PKCSReq: PKI cert. enrollment msg
+ --------------------------------> CertRep: pkiStatus = SUCCESS
+ certificate attached
+ <------------------------------
+ Receive issued certificate.

+ GetCertInitial: polling msg
+ --------------------------------> CertRep: pkiStatus = PENDING
+ <------------------------------
+ ................. CertRep: pkiStatus = SUCCESS
+ certificate attached
+ <------------------------------
+ Receive issued certificate.
+
+2.2.4 Requester Certificate Revocation
+
+A requester should be able to revoke its own certificate. Currently
+the revocation is implemented as a manual process. In order to revoke a
+certificate, the requester makes a phone call to the CA server
+operator. The operator will come back asking the ChallengePassword
+(which has been sent to the server as an attribute of the PKCS#10
+certificate request). If the ChallengePassword matches, the certificate
+is revoked. The reason of the revocation is documented by CA/RA.
+
+2.2.5 Certificate Access
+
+There are two methods to query certificates. The first method is to use
+LDAP as a query protocol. Using LDAP to query assumes the client
+understand the LDAP scheme supported by the CA. The SCEP client assumes
+that the subject DN name in the certificate is used as the URL to query the
+certificate. The standard attributes (userCertificate and caCertificate)
+are used as filter.
+
+For the environment where LDAP is not available, a certificate query
+message is defined to retrieve the certificates from the CA.
+
+To query a certificate from the certificate authority, a requester
+sends a request consisting of the certificate's issuer name and the
+serial number. This assumes that the requester has saved the issuer
+
+ Liu/Madson/McGrew/Nourse [Page 10]
+
+Cisco Systems' Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol Feb 2005
+
+name and the serial number of the issued certificate from the previous
+enrollment transaction. The transaction to query a certificate consists
+of one GetCert PKI message and one CertRep PKI message:
+
+ REQUESTER CA SERVER
+ GetCert: PKI cert query msg
+ -------------------------------> CertRep: pkiStatus = SUCCESS
+ certificate
+attached
+ <-----------------------------
+ Receive the certificate.
+
+2.2.6 CRL Distribution
+
+The CA/RA will not "push" the CRL to the end entities. The query of the
+CRL can only be initialized by the requester.
+
+There are three methods to query CRL.
+
+The CRL may be retrieved by a simple HTTP GET. If the CA supports this
+method, it should encode the URL into a CRL Distribution Point extension
+in the certificates it issues. Support for this method should be
+incorporated in new and updated clients, but may not be in older
+versions.
+
+The second method is to query CRL using LDAP. This assumes the CA server
+supports CRL LDAP publishing and issues the CRL Distribution Point in
+the certificate. The CRL Distribution Point is encoded as a DN. Please
+refer to Appendix D for the examples of CRL Distribution Point.
+
+The third method is implemented for the CA which does not support LDAP
+CRL publishing or does not implement the CRL Distribution Point. In this
+case, a CRL query is composed by creating a message consists of the CA
+issuer name and the CA's certificate serial number. This method is
+deprecated because it does not scale well and requires the CA to be a
+high-availability service.
+
+The message is sent to the CA in the same way as the other SCEP
+requests: The transaction to query CRL consists of one GetCRL PKI
+message and one CertRep PKI message which have no certificates but CRL.
+
+ REQUESTER CA SERVER
+ GetCRL: PKI CRL query msg
+ ----------------------------------> CertRep: CRL attached
+ <--------------------------------
+
+2.3 PKI Operation Transactional Behavior
+
+As described before, a PKI operation is a transaction consisting of the
+messages exchanged between a requester and the CA/RA. This section
+will specify the transaction behavior on both the requester and the
+
+
+ Liu/Madson/McGrew/Nourse [Page 11]
+
+Cisco Systems' Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol Feb 2005
+
+certificate authority server. Because the protocol is basically a two
+way communication protocol without a confirmation message from the
+initiating side, state and state resynchronization rules have to be
+defined, in case any error happens at either side. Before the state
+transition can be defined, the notion of transaction identifier has to
+be defined first.
+
+2.3.1 Transaction Identifier
+
+A transaction identifier is a string generated by the entity when
+starting a transaction. Since all the PKI operations defined in this
+protocol are initiated by the requester, it is the responsibility of
+the requester to generate a unique string as the transaction
+identifier. All the PKI messages exchanged for a given PKI transaction
+must carry the same transaction identifier. The transaction identifier
+is generated as a SHA-1 or MD5 hash on the public key value for which the
+enrollment request is made. This allows the SCEP client to reuse the
+same transaction identifier if it is reissuing a request for the same
+certificate (i.e. a certificate with the same subject, issuer, and key).
+The SCEP protocol requires that transaction identifiers be unique, so
+that queries can be matched up with transactions. For this reason, in
+those cases in which separate signing and encryption certificates are
+issued to the same requester, the keys must be different.
+
+2.3.2 State Transitions in Certificate Enrollment
+
+The requester state transitions during enrollment operation are
+indicated in the diagram below:
+ +-<------+
+ | |
+ GetCertInitial triggered by timeout or
+ | | manual authentication
+ | |
+ [CERT-NONEXISTANT] ------> [CERT-REQ-PENDING] ---> [CERT-ISSUED]
+ | PKCSReq | CertRep with SUCCESS
+ | |
+ | |
+ +--------<-------------------+
+ request rejected, timeout, or error
+
+As described in the section 2.2.3, certificate enrollment starts at the
+state CERT-NONEXISTANT. Sending PKCSReq changes the state to
+CERT-REQ-PENDING. Receiving CertRep with SUCCESS status changes the
+state to CERT-ISSUED. In the case the server sending back the response
+with pending status, the requester will keep polling certificate
+response by sending GetCertInitial to the server, until either a CertRep
+with SUCCESS status is received, or the maximum polling number has been
+exceeded.
+
+If an error or timeout occurs in the CERT-REQ-PENDING state, the end
+entity will transition to the CERT-NONEXISTANT state.
+
+
+ Liu/Madson/McGrew/Nourse [Page 12]
+
+Cisco Systems' Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol Feb 2005
+
+
+The client administrator will, eventually, start up another enrollment
+request. It is important to note that, as long as the requester does
+not change its subject name or keys, the same transaction id will be
+used in the "new" transaction. This is important because based on this
+transaction id, the certificate authority server can recognize this as
+an existing transaction instead of a new one.
+
+
+2.3.3 Transaction Behavior of Certificate/CRL Access
+
+There is no state maintained during certificate access and CRL access
+transaction. When using the certificate query and CRL query messages
+defined in this protocol, the transaction identifier is still required
+so that the requester can match the response message with the
+upstanding request message. When using LDAP to query the certificate and
+the CRL, the behavior is specified by the LDAP protocol.
+
+2.4 Security
+
+The security goals of SCEP are that no adversary can:
+
+o subvert the public key/identity binding from that intended,
+o discover the identity information in the enrollment requests and
+ issued certificates,
+o cause the revocation of certificates with any non-negligible
+ probability.
+
+Here an adversary is any entity other than the requester and the CA
+(and optionally the RA) participating in the protocol that is
+computationally limited, but that can manipulate data during
+transmission (that is, a man-in-the-middle). The precise meaning of
+'computationally limited' depends on the implementer's choice of
+cryptographic hash functions and ciphers. The required algorithms are
+RSA, DES, and either SHA-1 or MD5, depending on the "SHA-1" CA Capability.
+[See Appendix F].
+
+The first and second goals are met through the use of PKCS#7 and PKCS#10
+encryption and digital signatures using authenticated public keys. The
+CA's public key is authenticated via the checking of the CA fingerprint,
+as specified in Section 2.1.2, and the SCEP client's public key is
+authenticated through the manual authentication or pre-shared secret
+authentication, as specified in Section 2.1.1.2. The third goal is met
+through the use of a Challenge Password for revocation, that is chosen
+by the SCEP client and communicated to the CA protected by the PKCS#7
+encryption, as specified in Section 2.2.4.
+
+The motivation of the first security goal is straightforward. The
+motivation for the second security goal is to protect the identity
+information in the enrollment requests and certificates. For example,
+two IPSEC hosts behind a firewall may need to exchange certificates, and
+may need to enroll certificates with a CA that is outside of a firewall.
+Most networks with firewalls seek to prevent IP addresses and DNS
+
+ Liu/Madson/McGrew/Nourse [Page 13]
+
+Cisco Systems' Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol Feb 2005
+
+information from the trusted network leaving that network. The second
+goal enables the hosts in this example to enroll with a CA outside the
+firewall without revealing this information. The motivation for the
+third security goal is to protect the SCEP clients from denial of
+service attacks.
+
+Section 3 Transport Protocol
+
+In the SCEP protocol, HTTP is used as the transport protocol for the PKI
+messages.
+
+3.1 HTTP "GET" and "POST" Message Format
+
+The following is the syntax definition of a HTTP GET message sent from
+a requester to a certificate authority server:
+
+Request = "GET " CGI-PATH CGI-PROG "?operation=" OPERATION "&message=" MESSAGE
+where:
+ CGI-PATH defines the actual CGI path to invoke the CGI program which
+ parses the request.
+ CGI-PROG is set to be the string "pkiclient.exe". This is intended
+ to be the program that the CA will use to handle the SCEP transactions,
+ though the CA may ignore CGI-PROG and use only the CGI-PATH.
+ OPERATION is set to be the string "PKIOperation" when the GET message
+ carries a PKI message to request certificates or CRL; OPERATION is set
+ to be the string "GetCACaps", "GetCACert", "GetNextCACert" or
+ "GetCACertChain" when the GET operation is used to get CA capabilities,
+ CA/RA certificate, the replacement CA/RA certificates for when the
+ current ones expire, or the CA Cert chain (respectively).
+
+ When OPERATION is "PKIOperation", MESSAGE is a base64-encoded PKI message,
+ When OPERATION is GetCACert, MESSAGE is a CRL distribution
+ point in URI format, otherwise, MESSAGE is a string which represents
+ the certificate authority issuer identifier.
+
+SCEP uses the HTTP "GET" and "POST" messages to request information from the CA.
+Requests for CA certificates or capabilities are sent in the clear, using "GET",
+with the OPERATION and MESSAGE fields identifying the requested data.
+CRLs may also be requested in the clear if the CA supports it.
+
+Other types of requests are sent using the PKCS#7 secure protocol.
+These may be issued by means of a GET operation with
+OPERATION and MESSAGE parameters in the Request-URL. OPERATION
+identifies the type of GET operation, and MESSAGE is actually the PKCS#7
+message Base64-Encoded.
+
+For example. a requester may submit a message via HTTP to the server
+as follows:
+
+GET /cgi-bin/pkiclient.exe?operation=PKIOperation&message=MIAGCSqGSIb3D
+QEHA6CAMIACAQAxgDCBzAIBADB2MGIxETAPBgNVBAcTCE ......AAAAAA==
+ Liu/Madson/McGrew/Nourse [Page 13a]
+
+If supported by the CA, the message may also be sent via HTTP POST:
+
+POST /cgi-bin/pkiclient.exe?operation=PKIOperation
+
+This is further described in Appendix H.
+To determine if the CA supports POST, use the GetCACaps message described
+in Appendix F.
+
+
+3.2 Response Message Format
+
+For each GET operation, the CA/RA server will return a MIME object via
+HTTP. For a GET operation with PKIOperation as its type, the response is
+tagged as having a Content Type of application/x-pki-message. The body
+of this message is a BER encoded binary PKI message. The following is an
+example of the response:
+
+"Content-Type:application/x-pki-message\n\n"
+
+In the case of GET operation with a type of GetCACert the MIME content
+type returned will depend on whether or not an RA is in use. If there
+is no RA, only the CA certificate is sent back in the response, and
+the response has the content type tagged as
+application/x-x509-ca-cert. the body of the response is a DER encoded
+binary X.509 certificate. For example:
+
+"Content-Type:application/x-x509-ca-cert\n\n"
+
+If there is an RA, the RA certificates are sent back together with the
+CA certificates, a certificate-only PKCS#7 SignedData is sent back in
+the response where the SignerInfo is empty. Section 5 has the detailed
+definition of the message format in this case. The content type is
+application/x-x509-ca-ra-cert.
+
+The response to GetNextCACert is always a certificates-only PKCS#7
+SignedData with a content type of application/x-x509-ca-ra-cert.
+If there is an RA, The signer is the current RA certificate. Otherwise,
+the signer is the current CA certificate.
+
+If the CA supports it, PKIOperation may also be done via an HTTP POST.
+This is described in Appendix H.
+
+ Liu/Madson/McGrew/Nourse [Page 14]
+
+Cisco Systems' Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol Feb 2005
+
+Section 4 Secure Transportation: PKCS#7
+
+PKCS#7 is a general enveloping mechanism that enables both signed and
+encrypted transmission of arbitrary data. It is widely implemented and
+included in the RSA tool kit. In this section, the general PKCS#7
+enveloped PKI message format is specified. The complete PKCS#7 message
+format for each PKI transaction will be covered in Section 5.
+
+4.1 SCEP Message Format
+
+As a transaction message, a SCEP message has a set of transaction
+specific attributes and an information portion. Employing PKCS#7
+protocol, the transaction specific attributes are encoded as a set of
+authenticated attributes of the SignedData. The information portion will
+first be encrypted to become Enveloped Data, and then the digest of the
+enveloped information portion is included as one of the message digest
+attributes and being signed together with the other transaction specific
+attributes.
+
+By applying both enveloping and signing transformations, a SCEP message
+is protected both for the integrity of its end-end-transition
+information and the confidentiality of its information portion. The
+advantage of this technique over the conventional transaction message
+format is that, the signed transaction type information and the status
+of the transaction can be determined prior to invoke security handling
+procedures specific to the information portion being processed.
+
+The following is an example of a SCEP message with its enveloped and
+signed data portion represented by pkcsPKISigned and
+pkcsPKIEnveloped. The out-most of any PKI message is a blob of
+ContentInfo, with its content type set to SignedData and the actual
+signed data as the content.
+
+ Liu/Madson/McGrew/Nourse [Page 15]
+
+Cisco Systems' Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol Feb 2005
+
+ pkiMessage ContentInfo ::= {
+ contentType {pkcs-7 signedData(2)}
+ content pkcsPKISigned
+ }
+ pkcsPKISigned SignedData ::= {
+ version 1
+ digestAlgorithm { iso(1) member-body(2) US(840) rsadsi(113549)
+ digestAlgorithm(2) 5}
+ contentInfo {
+ contentType {pkcs-7 1} -- data content identifier
+ content pkcsPKIEnvelope -- enveloped information portion
+ }
+ certificates -- signer certificate chain
+ signerInfo -- including signed transaction info and the digest
+ -- of the enveloped information portion as the
+ -- authenticated attributes
+ }
+ pkcsPKIEnveloped EnvelopedData ::= {
+ version 0
+ recipientInfos -- information required to open the envelop
+ encryptedContentInfo {
+ contentType {pkcs-7 1} -- data content identifier
+ contentEncryptionAlgorithm
+ encryptedContent -- encrypted information portion
+ }
+ }
+
+4.2 Signed Transaction Attributes
+
+The following transaction attributes are encoded as authenticated
+attributes. Please refer to Appendix B for the OID definitions.
+
+transactionID PrintableString -- Decimal value as a string
+ messageType PrintableString -- Decimal value as a string
+ pkiStatus PrintableString -- Decimal value as a string
+ failinfo PrintableString -- Decimal value as a string
+ senderNonce Octet String
+ recipientNonce Octet String
+
+where:
+
+ The transactionID is an attribute which uniquely identify a
+ transaction. This attribute is required in all PKI messages.
+
+ The messageType attribute specify the type of operation performed by the
+ transaction. This attribute is required in all PKI
+ messages. Currently, the following message types are defined:
+
+ PKCSReq (19) -- Permits use of PKCS#10 certificate request
+ CertRep (3) -- Response to certificate or CRL request
+ GetCertInitial (20) -- Certificate polling in manual enrollment
+ GetCert (21) -- Retrieve a certificate
+ GetCRL (22) -- Retrieve a CRL
+
+ Liu/Madson/McGrew/Nourse [Page 16]
+
+Cisco Systems' Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol Feb 2005
+
+
+ All response message will include transaction status information which
+ is defined as pkiStatus attribute:
+
+ SUCCESS (0) -- request granted
+ FAILURE (2) -- request rejected
+ PENDING (3) -- request pending for manual approval.
+
+ If the status in the response is FAILURE, the failinfo attribute will
+ contain one of the following failure reasons:
+
+ badAlg (0) -- Unrecognized or unsupported algorithm ident
+ badMessageCheck (1) -- integrity check failed
+ badRequest (2) -- transaction not permitted or supported
+ badTime (3) -- Message time field was not sufficiently close
+ to the system time
+ badCertId (4) -- No certificate could be identified matching
+ the provided criteria
+
+ The attributes of senderNonce and recipientNonce are the 16 byte
+ random numbers generated for each transaction to prevent the replay
+ attack.
+
+When a requester sends a PKI message to the server, a senderNonce is
+included in the message. After the server processes the request, it will
+send back the requester senderNonce as the recipientNonce and generates
+another nonce as the senderNonce in the response message. Because the
+proposed pki protocol is a two-way communication protocol, it is clear
+that the nonce can only be used by the requester to prevent the
+replay. The server has to employ extra state related information to
+prevent a replay attack.
+
+Section 5. SCEP Transaction Specification
+
+In this section each SCEP transaction is specified in terms of the
+complete messages exchanged during the transaction.
+
+5.1 Certificate Enrollment
+
+The certificate enrollment transaction consists of one PKCSReq message
+sent to the certificate authority from a requester, and one CertRep
+message sent back from the server. The pkiStatus returned in the
+response message is either SUCCESS, or FAILURE, or PENDING. The
+information portion of a PKCSReq message is a PKCS#10 certificate
+request, which contains the subject Distinguished Name, the subject
+public key, and two attributes, a ChallengePassword attribute to be used
+for revocation, and an optional ExtensionReq attribute which will be a
+sequence of extensions the requester expects to be included in its V3
+certificate extensions. One of the extension attribute specifies the key
+usage. If the request is granted, the pkiStatus is set to SUCCESS, and
+the certificate is returned in CertRep; if the request is rejected, the
+
+
+ Liu/Madson/McGrew/Nourse [Page 17]
+
+Cisco Systems' Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol Feb 2005
+
+pkiStatus is set to FAILURE; if the server requires manual approval of
+the request, the pkiStatus is set to PENDING. The messages exchanged
+in the manual authentication mode is further specified in Section 5.2.
+
+Precondition:
+ Both the requester and the certificate authority have completed their
+ initialization process. The requester has already been configured
+ with the CA/RA certificate.
+
+Postcondition:
+ Either the certificate is received by the requester, or the end
+ entity is notified to do the manual authentication, or the request
+ is rejected.
+
+5.1.1 PKCSReq Message Format
+
+A PKCSReq message is created by following the steps defined below:
+
+1. Create a PKCS#10 certificate request which is signed by the end
+ entity's private key, corresponding to the public key included in
+ the PKCS#10 certificate request. This constitutes the information
+ portion of PKCSReq.
+
+2. Encrypt the PKCS#10 certificate request using a randomly generated
+ content-encryption key. This content-encryption key is then
+ encrypted by the CA's* public key and included in the recipientInfo.
+ This step completes the "envelope" for the PKCS#10 certificate
+ request.
+
+3. Generate a unique string as the transaction id.
+
+4. Generate a 16 byte random number as senderNonce.
+
+5. Generate message digest on the enveloped PKCS#10 certificate request
+ using the selected digest algorithm.
+
+6. Create SignedData by adding the requester's self- or CA-certificate
+ as the signer's public key certificate. Include the message type,
+ transaction id, the senderNonce and the message digest as the
+ authenticated attributes and sign the attributes using the end
+ entity's private key. This completes the SignedData.
+
+7. The SignedData is prepended with the ContenInfo blob which indicates
+ a SignedData object. This final step completes the create of a
+ complete PKCSReq PKI message.
+
+In the following, the PKCSReq message is defined following the ASN.1
+notation.
+
+For readability, the values of a field is either represented by a quoted
+string which specifies the intended value, or a constant when the value
+is known.

+5.1.2 CertRep Message Format
+
+The response to an SCEP enrollment request is a CertRep message.
+
+5.1.2.1 PENDING Response
+
+When the CA is configured to manually authenticate the requester,

+
+5.1.2.2 Failure Response
+
+In this case, the CertRep sent back to the requester is same as in

+and the failInfo attribute should be included:
+
+ pkistatus {{id-attributes pkiStatus(3)} "FAILURE"}
+ failInfo {{id-attributes failInfo(4)} "the reason to reject"}
+
+ Liu/Madson/McGrew/Nourse [Page 21]

+Cisco Systems' Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol Feb 2005
+
+5.1.2.3 SUCCESS response
+
+In this case, the information portion of CertRep will be a degenerated
+PKCS#7 which contains the requester's certificate. It is then enveloped
+and signed as below:

+5.2 Poll for Requester Initial Certificate
+
+Either triggered by the PENDING status received from the CertRep, or by
+the non-response timeout for the previous PKCSReq, a requester will
+enter the polling state by periodically sending GetCertInitial to the
+server, until either the request is granted and the certificate is sent
+back, or the request is rejected, or the configured time limit for
+polling is exceeded.
+
+
+ Liu/Madson/McGrew/Nourse [Page 23]
+
+Cisco Systems' Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol Feb 2005
+
+
+Since GetCertInitial is part of the enrollment, the messages exchanged
+during the polling period should carry the same transaction identifier
+as the previous PKCSReq.
+
+PreCondition
+ Either the requester has received a CertRep with pkiStatus set to be
+ PENDING, or the previous PKCSReq has timed out.
+
+PostContition
+ The requester has either received the certificate, or be rejected of
+ its request, or the polling period ended as a failure.
+
+5.2.1 GetCertInitial Message Format
+
+Since at this time the certificate has not been issued, the requester
+can only use the requester's subject name, combined with the
+transaction identifier, to identify the polled certificate request.
+
+The certificate authority server must be able to uniquely identify the
+polled certificate request. A subject name can have more than one
+outstanding certificate request (with different key usage attributes).

+
+5.3 Certificate Access
+
+The certificate query message defined in this section is an option when
+the LDAP server is not available to provide the certificate query. A
+requester should be able to query an issued certificate from the
+certificate authority, as long as the issuer name and the issuer
+assigned certificate serial number is known to the requesting end
+entity. This transaction is not intended to provide the service as a
+certificate directory service. A more complicated query mechanism would
+have to be defined in order to allow a requester to query a certificate
+using various different fields.
+
+This transaction consists of one GetCert message sent to the server by
+a requester, and one CertRep message sent back from the server.
+
+PreCondition
+ The queried certificate have been issued by the certificate authority
+ and the issuer assigned serial number is known.
+
+PostCondition
+ Either the certificate is sent back or the request is rejected.
+
+
+5.3.1 GetCert Message Format
+
+The queried certificate is identified by its issuer name and the issuer
+assigned serial number. If this is a query for an arbitrary requester's
+certificate, the requesting requester should includes its own CA issued
+certificate in the signed envelope. If this is a query for its own
+certificate (assume the requester lost the issued certificate, or does
+not have enough non-volatile memory to save the certificate), then the
+self-signed certificate has to be included in the signed envelope.

+
+
+5.3.2 CertRep Message Format
+
+In this case, the CertRep from the server is same as the CertRep for the
+PKCSReq, except that the server will only either grant the request or
+reject the request. Also, the recipientInfo should use the CA issuer
+name and CA assigned serial number to identify the requester's key pair
+since at this time, the requester has received its own certificate.
+
+5.4 CRL Access
+
+The CRL query message defined in this section is an option when the LDAP
+server is not available to provide the CRL query. In the PKI protocol
+proposed here, only the requester can initiate the transaction to
+download CRL. A requester sends GetCRL request to the server and the
+server sends back CertRep whose information portion is a degenerated
+PKCS#7 which contains only the most recent CRL. The size of CRL included
+in the CertRep should be determined by the implementation.
+
+PreCondition
+ The certificate authority certificate has been downloaded to the end
+ entity.
+
+PostCondition
+ CRL sent back to the requester.
+
+5.4.1 GetCRL Message format
+
+The CRL is identified by using both CA's issuer name and the CA
+certificate's serial number:
+
+ pkcsGetCRL issuerAndSerialNumber {
+ issuer "the certificate authority issuer name"
+ serialNumber "certificate authority certificate's serial number"
+ }
+
+When the CRLDistributionPoint is supported, the pkcsGetCRL is defined as
+the following:
+
+ pkcsGetCRL SEQUENCE {
+ crlIssuer issuerAndSerialNumber
+ distributionPoint CE-CRLDistPoints
+ }
+
+where CE-CRLDisPoints is defined in X.509, but must contain only one
+CRL distribution point.

+
+5.5 Get Certificate Authority Certificate
+
+Before any transaction begins, end entities have to get the CA (and
+possibly RA) certificate(s) first. Since the requester may have no CA
+certificates or CA public keys at all, this message can not be
+encrypted and the response must be authenticated by out-of-band means.
+These certs are obtained by means of an HTTP GET message. To get the
+CA certificate, the requester does a "HTTP GET" with a URL that
+identifies a CGI script on the server and an optional CA issuer
+identifier as the parameter to the CGI script. The response is either
+a single X.509 CA certificate ("CA mode"), or a PKCS7 message
+containing the CA certificate and RA certificates ("RA mode"). The
+client can determine which mode the CA operates in by which response
+it gets. Once the CA certificate is received by the requester, a
+fingerprint is generated using either the SHA-1 or the MD5 hash
+algorithm on the whole CA certificate. If the requester does not have
+a certificate path to a trusted CA certificate, this fingerprint may
+be used to verify the certificate, by some positive out-of-band means,
+such as a phone call.
+
+5.5.1 GetCACert HTTP Message Format
+ "GET" CGI-PATH CGI-PROG "?operation=GetCACert" "&message=" CA-IDENT
+ where:
+ CGI-PATH defines the actual CGI path to invoke the CGI program
+ which parses the request.
+ CGI-PROG is set to be the string "pkiclient.exe" and this is
+ expected to be the program that the CA will use to handle the
+ SCEP transactions.
+ CA-IDENT is any string which is understood by the CA.
+ For example, it could be a domain name like ietf.org.
+ If a certificate authority has multiple CA certificates
+ this field can be used to distinguish which is required.
+ Otherwise it may be ignored.
+
+5.5.2 Response
+
+The response for GetCACert is different between the case where the CA
+directly communicated with the requester during the enrollment, and the
+case where a RA exists and the requester communicates with the RA
+during the enrollment.
+
+5.5.2.1 CA Certificate Only Response
+
+A binary X.509 CA certificate is sent back as a MIME object with a
+Content-Type of application/x-x509-ca-cert.
+
+5.5.2.2 CA and RA Certificates Response
+
+When an RA exists, both CA and RA certificates must be sent back in
+the response to the GetCACert request. The RA certificate(s) must be
+signed by the CA. A certificates-only PKCS#7 SignedData is used to
+carry the certificates to the requester, with a Content-Type of
+application/x-x509-ca-ra-cert.
+
+ Liu/Madson/McGrew/Nourse [Page 32]
+
+5.5.3 Get Next Certificate Authority Certificate
+
+5.5.3.1 GetNextCACert HTTP Message Format
+ "GET" CGI-PATH CGI-PROG "?operation=GetNextCACert" "&message=" CA-IDENT
+
+The response to this message is a PKCS#7 certificates-only message containing
+a CA certificate (and possibly RA certificates) to be used when the current CA
+certificate expires, signed with the current CA cert (or RA certificate, if
+the CA is in RA mode. Note that a PKCS#7 is returned even in CA mode.
+
+5.5.3.2 GetCACaps HTTP Message Format
+ "GET" CGI-PATH CGI-PROG "?operation=GetCACaps" "&message=" CA-IDENT
+
+This message requests capabilities from CA. The response is a list of
+text capabilities, as defined in Appendix F. Support for this message
+is optional, but if it is not supported, the client should assume that
+none of the capabilities in Appendix F are supported.
+
+5.6 Get Certificate Authority Certificate Chain
+
+GetCACertChain provides a way to get the entire certificate chain.
+
+5.6.1 GetCACertChain HTTP Message Format
+
+ "GET" CGI-SCRIPT "?" "operation=GetCACertChain" "&" "message" CA-IDENT
+ where CGI-SCRIPT and CA-IDENT are as described for GetCACert.
+
+5.6.2 Response
+
+The response for GetCACertChain is a certificates-only PKCS#7 SignedData
+to carry the certificates to the requester, with a Content-Type of
+application/x-x509-ca-ra-cert-chain.
+
+5.6.3 Backwards Compatability
+
+Versions of SCEP prior to revision 3 do not support GetCACertChain.
+Certificate Authorities written to these prior versions will not be
+able to process the message and may return an HTML error.
+
+To avoid this, clients should send the GetCACert message first. If the
+returned certificate is self-signed or is signed by a Certificate
+Authority that is trusted by the client, then it is not necessary to
+send the GetCACertChain message and it should not be sent.
+
+If a Certificate Authority is configured with a certificate that is
+not either self-signed or has a self-signed issuer, then it should
+support this message. In other words, it should be supported if the
+CA hierarchy is more than two-deep.
+
+An old CA in a two-deep hierarchy might still get this message from
+a client if the client did not trust either that CA or its issuer.
+In that event, the certificate cannot be trusted anyway. In any case
+the CA must not crash or hang upon the receipt of the message and the
+client must be able to handle whatever error is returned by the CA,
+including an HTML error or an ungraceful disconnect.

+Appendix A: Cisco Requester Subject Name Definition
+
+The ip address and the FQDN of a SCEP client should be included in the
+V3 extension subjectAltName. When the subjectAltName extension attribute
+is present, both the subjectAltName fields and the subjectName field could
+have the IP address and the FQDN information.
+
+When the X.500 directory is used by the CA to define the name space, the
+subject name defined above become a RDN which is part of DN binded to
+the requester's public key in the certificate.
+
+
+A sample of DN assigned by Entrust CA is given below (assume the same

+
+ Appendix D: CRL Query by means of LDAP
+
+ In order to retrieve the CRL by means of LDAP, the client needs to know
+ where in the directory it is stored. The certificate must contain a
+ CRL Distribution Point extension encoded as a DN or as an LDAP URI.
+
+For example, the certificate issued by Entrust VPN contains
+the following DN as the CRL distribution point:
+
+
+
+CN = CRL1, O = cisco, C = US.
+
+ The asn.1 encoding of this distribution point is:
+
+ 30 2C 31 0B 30 09 06 03 55 04 06 13 02 55 53 31 0E 30 0C 06
+ 03 55 04 0A 13 05 63 69 73 63 6F 31 0D 30 0B 06 03 55 04 03
+ 13 04 43 52 4C 31
+
+
+The ldap form would be:
+
+ldap://servername/CN=CRL1,O=cisco,C=US
+
+
+
+Appendix E: SCEP State Transitions
+
+SCEP state transitions are based on transaction identifier. The design
+goal is to ensure the synchronization between the CA and the requester
+under various error situations.
+
+
+An identity is defined by the combination of FQDN, the IP address and
+the client serial number. FQDN is the required name attribute. It is
+important to notice that, a client named as Alice.cisco.com is different
+from the client named as Alice.cisco.com plus IPAddress 117.96.1.219.
+
+Each enrollment transaction is uniquely associated with a transaction
+identifier. Because the enrollment transaction could be interrupted by
+various errors, including network connection errors or client reboot,
+the SCEP client generates a transaction identifier by calculating a
+hash on the public key value for which the enrollment is requested. This
+retains the same transaction identifier throughout the enrollment
+transaction, even if the client has rebooted or timed out, and issues a
+new enrollment request for the same key pair. It also provides the way
+for the CA to uniquely identify a transaction in its database. At the
+requester side, it generates a transaction identifier which is included
+in PKCSReq. If the CA returns a response of PENDING, the requester
+will poll by periodically sending out GetCertInitial with the same
+transaction identifier until either a response other than PENDING is
+obtained, or the configured maximum time has elapsed.
+
+If the client times out or the client reboots, the client administrator
+will start another enrollment transaction with the same key pair. The
+second enrollment will have the transaction idenifier. At the server
+side, instead of accepting the PKCSReq as a new enrollment request, it
+should respond as if another GetCertInitial message had been sent with
+that transaction ID. In another word, the second PKCSReq should be
+taken as a resynchronization message to allow the enrollment resume as
+the same transaction.
+
+It is important to keep the transaction id unique since SCEP requires the
+same policy and same identity be applied to the same subject name and
+
+
+ Liu/Madson/McGrew/Nourse [Page 38]
+
+Cisco Systems' Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol Feb 2005
+
+key pair binding. In the current implementation, an SCEP client can
+only assume one identity. At any time, only one key pair, with a given
+key usage, can be associated with the same identity.
+
+The following gives several examples of client to CA transactions.
+
+Client actions are indicated in the left column, CA actions are
+indicated in the right column. A blank action signifies that no message
+was received. Note that these examples assume that the CA enforces the
+certificate-name uniqueness property defined in Section 2.1.1.1.
+
+The first transaction, for example, would read like this:
+ "Client Sends PKCSReq message with transaction ID 1 to the
+ CA. The CA signs the certificate and constructs a CertRep Message
+ containing the signed certificate with a transaction ID 1. The client
+ receives the message and installs the cert locally."
+
+Successful Enrollment Case: no manual authentication
+PKCSReq (1) ----------> CA Signs Cert
+Client Installs Cert <---------- CertRep (1) SIGNED CERT
+
+
+
+Successful Enrollment Case: manual authentication required
+PKCSReq (10) ----------> Cert Request goes into Queue
+Client Polls <---------- CertRep (10) PENDING
+GetCertInitial (10) ----------> Still pending
+Client Polls <---------- CertRep (10) PENDING
+GetCertInitial (10) ----------> Still pending
+Client Polls <---------- CertRep (10) PENDING
+GetCertInitial (10) ----------> Still pending
+Client Polls <---------- CertRep (10) PENDING
+GetCertInitial (10) ----------> Cert has been signed
+Client Installs Cert <---------- CertRep (10) SIGNED CERT
+
+
+
+Resync Case - CA Receive and Signs PKCSReq, Client Did not receive
+CertRep:
+
+PKCSReq (3) ----------> Cert Request goes into queue
+ <---------- CertRep (3) PENDING
+GetCertInitial (3) ---------->
+ <---------- CertRep (3) PENDING
+GetCertInitial (3) ----------->
+ <----------- CA signed Cert and sent back
+ CertRep(3)
+(Time Out)
+PKCSReq (3) ----------> Cert already signed, sent back to
+ client
+Client Installs Cert <---------- CertRep (3) SIGNED CERT
+
+
+
+ Liu/Madson/McGrew/Nourse [Page 39]
+
+Cisco Systems' Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol Feb 2005
+
+
+Case when NVRAM is lost and client has to generate a new key pair, there
+is no change of name information:
+
+PKCSReq (4) ----------> CA Signs Cert
+Client Installs Cert <---------- CertRep (4) SIGNED CERT
+(Client looses Cert)
+PKCSReq (5) ----------> There is already a valid cert with
+ this DN.
+Client Admin Revokes <---------- CertRep (5) OVERLAPPING CERT ERROR
+PKCSReq (5) ----------> CA Signs Cert
+Client Installs Cert <---------- CertRep (5) SIGNED CERT
+
+
+Case when client admin resync the enrollment using a different PKCS#10:
+PKCSReq (6) ----------> CA Signs Cert
+ <---------- CertRep (6) SIGNED CERT
+(Client timeout and admin starts another enrollment with a different
+ PKCS#10, but the same transaction id)
+PKCSReq (6) with different PKCS#10
+ ----------> There is already a valid cert with
+ this entity (by checking FQDN).
+ <---------- CertRep (6) INVALID PKCS#10 CERT
+ ERROR
+Client admin either revokes the existing cert
+or corrects the error by enrolling with
+the same PKCS#10 as the first PKCSReq(6)
+PKCSReq (6) ----------> CA find the existing Cert

+Appendix F. CA Capabilities
+
+The response for a GetCACaps message is a list of CA capabilities, in
+plain text, separated by characters, as follows (quotation marks
+are NOT sent):
+
+Keyword Description
+
+"GetNextCACert" CA Supports the GetNextCACert message.
+"POSTPKIOperation" PKIOPeration messages may be sent via HTTP POST.
+"SHA-1" CA Supports the SHA-1 hashing algorithm in
+ signatures and fingerprints. If present, the
+ client SHOULD use SHA-1. If absent, the client
+ MUST use MD5 to maintain backward compatability.
+"Renewal" Clients may use current certificate and key to
+ authenticate an enrollment request for a new
+ certificate.
+
+A client must be able to accept and ignore any unknown keywords that
+might be sent back by a CA that implements a future version of SCEP.
+
+Example:
+
+GET /cgi-bin/pkiclient.exe?operation=GetCACaps&message=myca
+
+returns:
+
+GetNextCACert
+POSTPKIOperation
+
+This means that the CA supports the GetNextCACert message and allows
+PKIOperation messages (PKCSreq, GetCert, GetCertInitial...) to be sent
+using HTTP POST.
+
+
+ Liu/Madson/McGrew/Nourse [Page 41]
+
+Cisco Systems' Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol Feb 2005
+
+Appendix G. Certificate Renewal and CA Key Rollover
+
+To renew a client certificate, use the PKCSreq message and sign it with
+the existing client certificate instead of a self-signed certificate.
+
+To obtain the new CA certificate prior to the expiration of the current
+one, use the GetNextCACert message if the CA supports it.
+
+To obtain a new client certificate signed by the new CA certificate,
+use the new CA or RA certificate in the message envelope.
+
+
+Example:
+
+GetNextCACert ---------->
+ <---------- CertRep (3) New CA certificate
+
+PKCSReq* (1) ----------> CA Signs certificate with NEW key
+Client Stores Cert <---------- CertRep (3) Certificate issued
+for installation when from NEW CA certificate and keypair.
+existing cert expires.
+
+
+*enveloped for new CA or RA cert and keypair. The CA will use the
+envelope to determine which key and certificate to use to issue the
+client certificate.
+
+
+ Liu/Madson/McGrew/Nourse [Page 42]
+
+Cisco Systems' Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol Feb 2005
+
+Appendix H. PKIOperation via HTTP POST Message
+
+If the remote CA supports it, any of the PKCS#7-encoded SCEP messages
+may be sent via HTTP POST instead of HTTP GET. This is allowed for
+any SCEP message except GetCACert, GetCACertChain, GetNextCACert,
+or GetCACaps. In this form of the message, Base 64 encoding is not
+used.
+
+POST /cgi-bin/pkiclient.exe?operation=PKIOperation
+
+
+The client can verify that the CA supports SCEP messages via POST by
+looking for the "POSTPKIOperation" capability (See Appendix F).
