Detailed Description

The certificate following the certificate format naming convention.

Overview of NDN certificate format:

CertificateV2 ::= DATA-TLV TLV-LENGTH
                    Name      (= /<NameSpace>/KEY/[KeyId]/[IssuerId]/[Version])
                    MetaInfo  (.ContentType = KEY)
                    Content   (= X509PublicKeyContent)
                    SignatureInfo (= CertificateV2SignatureInfo)
                    SignatureValue

X509PublicKeyContent ::= CONTENT-TLV TLV-LENGTH
                           BYTE+ (= public key bits in PKCS#8 format)

CertificateV2SignatureInfo ::= SIGNATURE-INFO-TYPE TLV-LENGTH
                                 SignatureType
                                 KeyLocator
                                 ValidityPeriod
                                 ... optional critical or non-critical extension blocks ...

An example of NDN certificate name:

/edu/ucla/cs/yingdi/KEY/%03%CD...%F1/%9F%D3...%B7/%FD%d2...%8E
\_________________/    \___________/ \___________/\___________/

Certificate Namespace Key Id Issuer Id Version (Identity) __________________________________/ Key Name

Notes:

  • Key Id is opaque name component to identify an instance of the public key for the certificate namespace. The value of Key ID is controlled by the namespace owner. The library includes helpers for generation of key IDs using 8-byte random number, SHA-256 digest of the public key, timestamp, and the specified numerical identifiers.
  • Issuer Id is opaque name component to identify issuer of the certificate. The value is controlled by the issuer. The library includes helpers to set issuer ID to a 8-byte random number, SHA-256 digest of the issuer's public key, and the specified numerical identifiers.
  • Key Name is a logical name of the key used for management pursposes. Key Name includes the certificate namespace, keyword KEY, and KeyId components.
