See Example below.

The hash algorithm to be used to calculate a HashedId10 within a structure depends on the context. In this standard, for each structure that includes a HashedId10 field, the corresponding text indicates how the hash algorithm is determined.

Example: Consider the SHA-256 hash of the empty string:
SHA-256(“”) = e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855

If the data structure is subject to canonicalization it is canonicalized before hashing. The low-order eight bytes are the last eight bytes of the hash when represented in network byte order. See Example below.

The hash algorithm to be used to calculate a HashedId8 within a structure depends on the context. In this standard, for each structure that includes a HashedId8 field, the corresponding text indicates how the hash algorithm is determined.

SubjectAssurance

This field contains the certificate holder’s assurance level, which indicates the security of both the platform and storage of secret keys as well as the confidence in this assessment.

This field is encoded as defined in Table 1, where “A” denotes bit fields specifying an assurance level, “R” reserved bit fields, and “C” bit fields specifying the confidence.

Table 1: Bitwise encoding of subject assurance
Bit number 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
Interpretation A A A R R R C C
In Table 1, bit number 0 denotes the least significant bit. Bit 7 to bit 5 denote the device’s assurance levels, bit 4 to bit 2 are reserved for future use, and bit 1 and bit 0 denote the confidence.

The specification of these assurance levels as well as the encoding of the confidence levels is outside the scope of the present document. It can be assumed that a higher assurance value indicates that the holder is more trusted than the holder of a certificate with lower assurance value and the same confidence value.

BitmapSsp

This structure represents a bitmap representation of a SSP. The mapping of the bits of the bitmap to constraints on the signed SPDU is PSID-specific.

Consistency with issuing certificate.

If a certificate has an appPermissions entry A for which the ssp field is bitmapSsp, A is consistent with the issuing certificate if the issuing certificate contains one of the following:
  • (OPTION 1) A SubjectPermissions field indicating the choice all and no PsidSspRange field containing the psid field in A;
  • (OPTION 2) A PsidSspRange P for which the following holds:
    • The psid field in P is equal to the psid field in A and one of the following is true:
      • EITHER The sspRange field in P indicates all
      • OR The sspRange field in P indicates bitmapSspRange and for every bit set to 1 in the sspBitmask in P, the bit in the identical position in the sspValue in A is set equal to the bit in that position in the sspValue in P.
NOTE: A BitmapSsp B is consistent with a BitmapSspRange R if for every bit set to 1 in the sspBitmask in R, the bit in the identical position in B is set equal to the bit in that position in the sspValue in R. For each bit set to 0 in the sspBitmask in R, the corresponding bit in the identical position in B may be freely set to 0 or 1, i.e., if a bit is set to 0 in the sspBitmask in R, the value of corresponding bit in the identical position in B has no bearing on whether B and R are consistent.

IEEE1609dot2BaseTypesBitmapSspRange

BitmapSspRange

This structure represents a bitmap representation of a SSP. The sspValue indicates permissions. The sspBitmask contains an octet string used to permit or constrain sspValue fields in issued certificates. The sspValue and sspBitmask fields shall be of the same length.

Consistency with issuing certificate.

If a certificate has an PsidSspRange value P for which the sspRange field is bitmapSspRange, P is consistent with the issuing certificate if the issuing certificate contains one of the following:
  • (OPTION 1) A SubjectPermissions field indicating the choice all and no PsidSspRange field containing the psid field in P;
  • (OPTION 2) A PsidSspRange R for which the following holds:
    • The psid field in R is equal to the psid field in P and one of the following is true:
      • EITHER The sspRange field in R indicates all
      • OR The sspRange field in R indicates bitmapSspRange and for every bit set to 1 in the sspBitmask in R:
        • The bit in the identical position in the sspBitmask in P is set equal to 1, AND
        • The bit in the identical position in the sspValue in P is set equal to the bit in that position in the sspValue in R.

In this structure:
  • countryOnly
    is a CountryOnly as defined above.
  • region

  • country
    is a CountryOnly as defined above.

Duration

This structure represents the duration of validity of a certificate. The Uint16 value is the duration, given in the units denoted by the indicated choice. A year is considered to be 31556952 seconds, which is the average number of seconds in a year; if it is desired to map years more closely to wall-clock days, this can be done using the hours choice for up to seven years and the sixtyHours choice for up to 448. In this structure:
  • microseconds
    contains the duration in microseconds.
  • milliseconds
    contains the duration in milliseconds.

IEEE1609dot2BaseTypesEccP256CurvePoint

EccP256CurvePoint

This structure specifies a point on an elliptic curve in Weierstrass form defined over a 256-bit prime number. This encompasses both NIST p256 as defined in FIPS 186-4 and Brainpool p256r1 as defined in RFC 5639. The fields in this structure are OCTET STRINGS produced with the elliptic curve point encoding and decoding methods defined in subclause 5.5.6 of IEEE Std 1363-2000. The x-coordinate is encoded as an unsigned integer of length 32 octets in network byte order for all values of the CHOICE; the encoding of the y-coordinate y depends on whether the point is x-only, compressed, or uncompressed. If the point is x-only, y is omitted. If the point is compressed, the value of type depends on the least significant bit of y: if the least significant bit of y is 0, type takes the value compressed-y-0, and if the least significant bit of y is 1, type takes the value compressed-y-1. If the point is uncompressed, y is encoded explicitly as an unsigned integer of length 32 octets in network byte order.
4
IEEE1609dot2BaseTypesEccP384CurvePoint

EccP384CurvePoint

This structure specifies a point on an elliptic curve in Weierstrass form defined over a 384-bit prime number. The only supported such curve in this standard is Brainpool p384r1 as defined in RFC 5639. The fields in this structure are OCTET STRINGS produced with the elliptic curve point encoding and decoding methods defined in subclause 5.5.6 of IEEE Std 1363-2000. The x-coordinate is encoded as an unsigned integer of length 48 octets in network byte order for all values of the CHOICE; the encoding of the y-coordinate y depends on whether the point is x-only, compressed, or uncompressed. If the point is x-only, y is omitted. If the point is compressed, the value of type depends on the least significant bit of y: if the least significant bit of y is 0, type takes the value compressed-y-0, and if the least significant bit of y is 1, type takes the value compressed-y-1. If the point is uncompressed, y is encoded explicitly as an unsigned integer of length 48 octets in network byte order.
2
IEEE1609dot2BaseTypesEcdsaP256Signature

EcdsaP256Signature

This structure represents an ECDSA signature. The signature is generated as specified in 5.3.1.

If the signature process followed the specification of FIPS 186-4 and output the integer r, r is represented as an EccP256CurvePoint indicating the selection x-only.

If the signature process followed the specification of SEC 1 and output the elliptic curve point R to allow for fast verification, R is represented as an EccP256CurvePoint indicating the choice compressed-y-0, compressed-y-1, or uncompressed at the sender’s discretion.

Encoding considerations: If this structure is encoded for hashing, the EccP256CurvePoint in rSig shall be taken to be of form x-only.

NOTE: When the signature is of form x-only, the x-value in rSig is an integer mod n, the order of the group; when the signature is of form compressed-y-*, the x-value in rSig is an integer mod p, the underlying prime defining the finite field. In principle this means that to convert a signature from form compressed-y-* to form x-only, the x-value should be checked to see if it lies between n and p and reduced mod n if so. In practice this check is unnecessary: Haase’s Theorem states that difference between n and p is always less than 2*square-root(p), and so the chance that an integer lies between n and p, for a 256-bit curve, is bounded above by approximately square-root(p)/p or 2^(−128). For the 256-bit curves in this standard, the exact values of n and p in hexadecimal are:

NISTp256:
  • p = FFFFFFFF00000001000000000000000000000000FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
  • n = FFFFFFFF00000000FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFBCE6FAADA7179E84F3B9CAC2FC632551
Brainpoolp256:
  • p = A9FB57DBA1EEA9BC3E660A909D838D726E3BF623D52620282013481D1F6E5377
  • n = A9FB57DBA1EEA9BC3E660A909D838D718C397AA3B561A6F7901E0E82974856A7

If the signature process followed the specification of SEC 1 and output the elliptic curve point R to allow for fast verification, R is represented as an EccP384CurvePoint indicating the choice compressed-y-0, compressed-y-1, or uncompressed at the sender’s discretion.

Encoding considerations: If this structure is encoded for hashing, the EccP256CurvePoint in rSig shall be taken to be of form x-only.

NOTE: When the signature is of form x-only, the x-value in rSig is an integer mod n, the order of the group; when the signature is of form compressed-y-*, the x-value in rSig is an integer mod p, the underlying prime defining the finite field.

For the 384-bit curve in this standard, the exact values of n and p in hexadecimal are:
  • p = 8CB91E82A3386D280F5D6F7E50E641DF152F7109ED5456B412B1DA197FB71123 ACD3A729901D1A71874700133107EC53

IEEE1609dot2BaseTypesHashedId10

HashedId10

This type contains the truncated hash of another data structure. The HashedId10 for a given data structure is calculated by calculating the hash of the encoded data structure and taking the low-order ten bytes of the hash output. If the data structure is subject to canonicalization it is canonicalized before hashing. The low-order ten bytes are the last ten bytes of the hash when represented in network byte order. See Example below.

The hash algorithm to be used to calculate a HashedId10 within a structure depends on the context. In this standard, for each structure that includes a HashedId10 field, the corresponding text indicates how the hash algorithm is determined.

Example: Consider the SHA-256 hash of the empty string:

HashedId3 = 52b855.
1
IEEE1609dot2BaseTypesHashedId8

HashedId8

This type contains the truncated hash of another data structure. The HashedId8 for a given data structure is calculated by calculating the hash of the encoded data structure and taking the low-order eight bytes of the hash output. If the data structure is subject to canonicalization it is canonicalized before hashing. The low-order eight bytes are the last eight bytes of the hash when represented in network byte order. See Example below.

The hash algorithm to be used to calculate a HashedId8 within a structure depends on the context. In this standard, for each structure that includes a HashedId8 field, the corresponding text indicates how the hash algorithm is determined.

Example: Consider the SHA-256 hash of the empty string:
SHA-256(“”) = e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855

IEEE1609dot2BaseTypesSubjectAssurance

SubjectAssurance

This field contains the certificate holder’s assurance level, which indicates the security of both the platform and storage of secret keys as well as the confidence in this assessment.

This field is encoded as defined in Table 1, where “A” denotes bit fields specifying an assurance level, “R” reserved bit fields, and “C” bit fields specifying the confidence.

Table 1: Bitwise encoding of subject assurance
Bit number 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
Interpretation A A A R R R C C
In Table 1, bit number 0 denotes the least significant bit. Bit 7 to bit 5 denote the device’s assurance levels, bit 4 to bit 2 are reserved for future use, and bit 1 and bit 0 denote the confidence.

The specification of these assurance levels as well as the encoding of the confidence levels is outside the scope of the present document. It can be assumed that a higher assurance value indicates that the holder is more trusted than the holder of a certificate with lower assurance value and the same confidence value.

NOTE: This field was originally specified in ETSI TS 103 097 and future uses of this field are anticipated to be consistent with future versions of that document.

--***************************************************************************--

Opaque

This is a synonym for ASN.1 OCTET STRING, and is used in the definition of other data structures.

Opaque ::= OCTET STRING

HashedId3

This type contains the truncated hash of another data structure. The HashedId3 for a given data structure is calculated by calculating the hash of the encoded data structure and taking the low-order three bytes of the hash output. If the data structure is subject to canonicalization it is canonicalized before hashing. The low-order three bytes are the last three bytes of the 32-byte hash when represented in network byte order. See Example below.

Example: Consider the SHA-256 hash of the empty string:
SHA-256(“”) = e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855

The HashedId3 derived from this hash corresponds to the following:
HashedId3 = 52b855.

HashedId3 ::= OCTET STRING (SIZE (3))

HashedId8

This type contains the truncated hash of another data structure. The HashedId8 for a given data structure is calculated by calculating the hash of the encoded data structure and taking the low-order eight bytes of the hash output. If the data structure is subject to canonicalization it is canonicalized before hashing. The low-order eight bytes are the last eight bytes of the hash when represented in network byte order. See Example below.

The hash algorithm to be used to calculate a HashedId8 within a structure depends on the context. In this standard, for each structure that includes a HashedId8 field, the corresponding text indicates how the hash algorithm is determined.

Example: Consider the SHA-256 hash of the empty string:
SHA-256(“”) = e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855

The HashedId8 derived from this hash corresponds to the following:
HashedId8 = a495991b7852b855.

HashedId8 ::= OCTET STRING (SIZE (8))

HashedId10

This type contains the truncated hash of another data structure. The HashedId10 for a given data structure is calculated by calculating the hash of the encoded data structure and taking the low-order ten bytes of the hash output. If the data structure is subject to canonicalization it is canonicalized before hashing. The low-order ten bytes are the last ten bytes of the hash when represented in network byte order. See Example below.

The hash algorithm to be used to calculate a HashedId10 within a structure depends on the context. In this standard, for each structure that includes a HashedId10 field, the corresponding text indicates how the hash algorithm is determined.

Example: Consider the SHA-256 hash of the empty string:

Signature

This structure represents a signature for a supported public key algorithm. It may be contained within SignedData or Certificate.

Critical information fields: If present, this is a critical information field as defined in 5.2.5. An implementation that does not recognize the indicated CHOICE for this type when verifying a signed SPDU shall indicate that the signed SPDU is invalid.

Signature ::= CHOICE {}

EcdsaP256Signature

This structure represents an ECDSA signature. The signature is generated as specified in 5.3.1.

If the signature process followed the specification of FIPS 186-4 and output the integer r, r is represented as an EccP256CurvePoint indicating the selection x-only.

If the signature process followed the specification of SEC 1 and output the elliptic curve point R to allow for fast verification, R is represented as an EccP256CurvePoint indicating the choice compressed-y-0, compressed-y-1, or uncompressed at the sender’s discretion.

Encoding considerations: If this structure is encoded for hashing, the EccP256CurvePoint in rSig shall be taken to be of form x-only.

NOTE: When the signature is of form x-only, the x-value in rSig is an integer mod n, the order of the group; when the signature is of form compressed-y-*, the x-value in rSig is an integer mod p, the underlying prime defining the finite field. In principle this means that to convert a signature from form compressed-y-* to form x-only, the x-value should be checked to see if it lies between n and p and reduced mod n if so. In practice this check is unnecessary: Haase’s Theorem states that difference between n and p is always less than 2*square-root(p), and so the chance that an integer lies between n and p, for a 256-bit curve, is bounded above by approximately square-root(p)/p or 2^(−128). For the 256-bit curves in this standard, the exact values of n and p in hexadecimal are:

The fields in this structure are OCTET STRINGS produced with the elliptic curve point encoding and decoding methods defined in subclause 5.5.6 of IEEE Std 1363-2000. The x-coordinate is encoded as an unsigned integer of length 32 octets in network byte order for all values of the CHOICE; the encoding of the y-coordinate y depends on whether the point is x-only, compressed, or uncompressed. If the point is x-only, y is omitted. If the point is compressed, the value of type depends on the least significant bit of y: if the least significant bit of y is 0, type takes the value compressed-y-0, and if the least significant bit of y is 1, type takes the value compressed-y-1. If the point is uncompressed, y is encoded explicitly as an unsigned integer of length 32 octets in network byte order.

}

PsidSsp ::= SEQUENCE {}

SequenceOfPsidSsp

This type is used for clarity of definitions.

Psid

This type represents the PSID defined in IEEE Std 1609.12.

Psid ::= INTEGER (0..MAX)

SequenceOfPsid

This type is used for clarity of definitions.

SequenceOfPsid ::= SEQUENCE OF Psid

ServiceSpecificPermissions

This structure represents the Service Specific Permissions (SSP) relevant to a given entry in a PsidSsp. The meaning of the SSP is specific to the associated Psid. SSPs may be PSID-specific octet strings or bitmap-based. See Annex C for further discussion of how application specifiers may choose which SSP form to use.

Consistency with issuing certificate.

If a certificate has an appPermissions entry A for which the ssp field is opaque, A is consistent with the issuing certificate if the issuing certificate contains one of the following:
  • (OPTION 1) A SubjectPermissions field indicating the choice all and no PsidSspRange field containing the psid field in A;
  • (OPTION 2) A PsidSspRange P for which the following holds:
    • The psid field in P is equal to the psid field in A and one of the following is true:
      • The sspRange field in P indicates all.
      • The sspRange field in P indicates opaque and one of the entries in the opaque field in P is an OCTET STRING identical to the opaque field in A.
For consistency rules for other types of ServiceSpecificPermissions, see the following subclauses.

ServiceSpecificPermissions ::= CHOICE {

opaque OCTET STRING (SIZE (0..MAX)),

...,

bitmapSsp BitmapSsp

}

ServiceSpecificPermissions ::= CHOICE {}

BitmapSsp

This structure represents a bitmap representation of a SSP. The mapping of the bits of the bitmap to constraints on the signed SPDU is PSID-specific.

Consistency with issuing certificate.

If a certificate has an appPermissions entry A for which the ssp field is bitmapSsp, A is consistent with the issuing certificate if the issuing certificate contains one of the following:
  • (OPTION 1) A SubjectPermissions field indicating the choice all and no PsidSspRange field containing the psid field in A;
  • (OPTION 2) A PsidSspRange P for which the following holds:
    • The psid field in P is equal to the psid field in A and one of the following is true:
      • EITHER The sspRange field in P indicates all
      • OR The sspRange field in P indicates bitmapSspRange and for every bit set to 1 in the sspBitmask in P, the bit in the identical position in the sspValue in A is set equal to the bit in that position in the sspValue in P.
NOTE: A BitmapSsp B is consistent with a BitmapSspRange R if for every bit set to 1 in the sspBitmask in R, the bit in the identical position in B is set equal to the bit in that position in the sspValue in R. For each bit set to 0 in the sspBitmask in R, the corresponding bit in the identical position in B may be freely set to 0 or 1, i.e., if a bit is set to 0 in the sspBitmask in R, the value of corresponding bit in the identical position in B has no bearing on whether B and R are consistent.

BitmapSsp ::= OCTET STRING (SIZE (0..31))

PsidSspRange

This structure represents the certificate issuing or requesting permissions of the certificate holder with respect to one particular set of application permissions. In this structure:
  • psid
    identifies the application area.
  • sspRange
    identifies the SSPs associated with that PSID for which the holder may issue or request certificates. If sspRange is omitted, the holder may issue or request certificates for any SSP for that PSID.

PsidSspRange ::= SEQUENCE {

psid Psid,

sspRange SspRange OPTIONAL

}

PsidSspRange ::= SEQUENCE {}

SequenceOfPsidSspRange

This type is used for clarity of definitions.

SequenceOfPsidSspRange ::= SEQUENCE OF PsidSspRange

SspRange

This structure identifies the SSPs associated with a PSID for which the holder may issue or request certificates.

Consistency with issuing certificate.

If a certificate has a PsidSspRange A for which the ssp field is opaque, A is consistent with the issuing certificate if the issuing certificate contains one of the following:
  • (OPTION 1) A SubjectPermissions field indicating the choice all and no PsidSspRange field containing the psid field in A;
  • (OPTION 2) a PsidSspRange P for which the following holds:
    • The psid field in P is equal to the psid field in A and one of the following is true:
      • The sspRange field in P indicates all.
      • The sspRange field in P indicates opaque, and the sspRange field in A indicates opaque, and every OCTET STRING within the opaque in A is a duplicate of an OCTET STRING within the opaque in P.
If a certificate has a PsidSspRange A for which the ssp field is all, A is consistent with the issuing certificate if the issuing certificate contains a PsidSspRange P for which the following holds:
  • (OPTION 1) A SubjectPermissions field indicating the choice all and no PsidSspRange field containing the psid field in A;
  • (OPTION 2) A PsidSspRange P for which the psid field in P is equal to the psid field in A and the sspRange field in P indicates all.
For consistency rules for other types of SspRange, see the following subclauses.

NOTE: The choice “all” may also be indicated by omitting the SspRange in the enclosing PsidSspRange structure. Omitting the SspRange is preferred to explicitly indicating “all”.

SspRange ::= CHOICE {

opaque SequenceOfOctetString,

all NULL,

...,

bitmapSspRange BitmapSspRange

}

SspRange ::= CHOICE {}

BitmapSspRange

This structure represents a bitmap representation of a SSP. The sspValue indicates permissions. The sspBitmask contains an octet string used to permit or constrain sspValue fields in issued certificates. The sspValue and sspBitmask fields shall be of the same length.

Consistency with issuing certificate.

If a certificate has an PsidSspRange value P for which the sspRange field is bitmapSspRange, P is consistent with the issuing certificate if the issuing certificate contains one of the following:
  • (OPTION 1) A SubjectPermissions field indicating the choice all and no PsidSspRange field containing the psid field in P;
  • (OPTION 2) A PsidSspRange R for which the following holds:
    • The psid field in R is equal to the psid field in P and one of the following is true:
      • EITHER The sspRange field in R indicates all
      • OR The sspRange field in R indicates bitmapSspRange and for every bit set to 1 in the sspBitmask in R:
        • The bit in the identical position in the sspBitmask in P is set equal to 1, AND
        • The bit in the identical position in the sspValue in P is set equal to the bit in that position in the sspValue in R.

SubjectAssurance

This field contains the certificate holder’s assurance level, which indicates the security of both the platform and storage of secret keys as well as the confidence in this assessment.

This field is encoded as defined in Table 1, where “A” denotes bit fields specifying an assurance level, “R” reserved bit fields, and “C” bit fields specifying the confidence.

Table 1: Bitwise encoding of subject assurance
Bit number 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
Interpretation A A A R R R C C
In Table 1, bit number 0 denotes the least significant bit. Bit 7 to bit 5 denote the device’s assurance levels, bit 4 to bit 2 are reserved for future use, and bit 1 and bit 0 denote the confidence.

The specification of these assurance levels as well as the encoding of the confidence levels is outside the scope of the present document. It can be assumed that a higher assurance value indicates that the holder is more trusted than the holder of a certificate with lower assurance value and the same confidence value.

NOTE: This field was originally specified in ETSI TS 103 097 and future uses of this field are anticipated to be consistent with future versions of that document.
