Merging with upstream JSS (4.3) has been planned to be done within the next year also. Until then, we are not able to provide information with confidence on how JSS4.3 would work with our current releases. If any Dogtag community member has tried and has answer for you, it would be great.

I can file this against JSS, but given that it's a down-rev version (4.2.6) and appears to be fixed in JSS 4.3, is it worth filing this? I guess the bigger question that affects SHA-2 algorithms as they are implemented in Dogtag is whether or not I can safely use JSS 4.3 with Dogtag 9.0.x? 4.2.6 is what appears to be the latest rev in the F15 yum repositories. Do you (or anyone on your team maybe) know if there are incompatibilities between JSS 4.2.6 and 4.3 that would break a Dogtag 9 installation? If it can work the areas that this would affect would be: <ul> <li>Proper creation of SCEP CertRep messages when using SHA-2 algs </li> <li>The ability to sign OCSP responses using something other than SHA-1 (can that be changed? I don't see a tuneable for this) </li> <li>The ability to submit CMC revocation messages using SHA-2 and have it properly validated before acting on it in the CA.</li> </ul> There might be other areas as well (maybe in other CMC related functions) but those three areas are the ones I've run into.

I agree there is an issue with the OID. In fact, the hashalg (2) is missing from not just SHA256, but also SHA384 and SHA512 as well. Please go ahead and file a bug for JSS so it could be scheduled for future release. It will probably be automatically assigned to me by default. thanks, Christina On 09/27/2012 09:34 AM, Christina Fu wrote: <blockquote type="cite">Hi Jamil, I am running a variant of jss-4.2.6-23 (with one extra patch that I have not had time to push/build, but it has nothing to do with your suspected area). For nss, I'm running nss-3.13.5-8.el5. Again, I develop on RHEL. Yes, if you'd send in your code with precise reproducing steps, I might be able to look into it sooner.

I haven't seen the problem with the PKCS#1 SHA-256 with RSA OID. That seems to work across the board with JSS and Dogtag (otherwise I could never sign a cert with SHA-256, I suppose). I'd be curious to know what version of JSS is on your RHEL/RHCS8.1 machine, and perhaps what NSS version. On my Fedora box it's JSS 4.2.6 and NSS 3.13.4. Maybe something different between the bits we're running? I've run into the issue when a PKCS#7 or CMS signedData message is created. In those cases, the SHA-256 OID would normally be asserted in two locations: 1. In the DigestAlgorithmIdentifiers segment of the SignedData object (see RFC 5652 5.1): CMS/PKCS#7 objects have it properly asserted here. 2. In the DigestAlgorithmIdentifier portion of the SignerInfo (see RFC 5652 5.3): This is where the OID gets messed up with SHA-2 algs. Since there is only one signer, the DigestAlgorithmIdentifiers section at the beginning would have only one OID, the SHA-256 one, and that OID should be repeated again in the SignerInfo. What happens though is that the SignerInfo's DigestAlgorithmIdentifier will show up with an OID of 2.16.840.1.101.3.4.1 when it should be 2.16.840.1.101.3.4.2.1. This appears to happen with JSS 4.2.6, but not with JSS 4.3. But 4.2.6 is what comes down when the dogtag packages are pulled with yum, so I wasn't sure if I could pop in a newer JSS safely. Tomorrow I'll take my doctored up CMCRevoke and cook up two messages, one where I load the 4.2.6 JSS and one where I do 4.3 and I'll send you the DER encodings so you can see what I'm talking about. I don't recall, but I think the bug report for 824624 might have sample SCEP CertRep messages from the CA, which show the issue using PKCS#7. Once again, thank you very much for taking the time to look at this. --Jamil <div style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;"> <hr tabindex="-1"> <div style="direction: ltr;" id="divRpF261303">From: <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:pki-users-bounces@redhat.com" target="_blank"> pki-users-bounces@redhat.com</a> [<a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:pki-users-bounces@redhat.com" target="_blank">pki-users-bounces@redhat.com</a>] on behalf of Christina Fu [<a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:cfu@redhat.com" target="_blank">cfu@redhat.com</a>] Sent: Tuesday, September 25, 2012 8:46 PM To: <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:pki-users@redhat.com" target="_blank"> pki-users@redhat.com</a> Subject: Re: [Pki-users] SHA-256 signed CMC revocation messages failing to verify on server </div> <div>Hi Jamil, I tried to reproduce your issue, but I seemed to be able to generate CMC revocation request with SHA-256 digest. I have to admit that my main development machine is RHEL and I work on RHCS8.1 tree. I changed all "SHA1" to "SHA256" in CMCRevoke.java (with the exception with DSA), compiled, and it just worked. Did you do anything different? I could see in dumpasn1 where SHA245 is in place: <pre> C-Sequence (13) Object Identifier (9) 1 2 840 113549 1 1 11 (PKCS #1 SHA-256 With RSA Encryption) NULL (0) </pre> Christina On 09/19/2012 11:19 AM, Christina Fu wrote: <blockquote type="cite">Hi Jamil, We made an effort to support SHA2 where we can but might have missed a few places.

If I leave all fields the same but change the signature algorithm to SHA-1 then everything seems to work fine. I suspect this is another side-effect of the root-cause for bug 824624. It seems like in certain cases with JSS 4.2.6 when PKCS#7 messages are created using any of the SHA-2 variants, the OIDs get messed up. This happened with SCEP responses from the CA (the bug referenced above) and I had it happen with the CMC revoke modifications I made. The latter issue was fixed by pulling down JSS 4.3 and loading that jar in the classpath for the modified CMCRevoke tool. However, on the server side I ended up seeing verification failures. I'm running pki-common-9.0.20, jss 4.2.6, and NSS 3.13.4. At one point I had heard that Dogtag 9.0.X wasn't 100% safe to run with JSS 4.3 or later. Is that still the case with the latest 9.0 packages? Has anyone had any success generating these CMC messages using SHA-2 hash algs and getting Dogtag to accept them?
