Foreword
This document is in accordance with the provisions of GB/T 1.1-2020 "Guidelines for standardization work Part 1: Structure and drafting rules for standardization documents" Drafting.
This document replaces GB/T 19714-2005 "Information Technology Security Technology Public Key Infrastructure Certificate Management Protocol".
Compared with GB/T 19714-2005, in addition to structural adjustments and editorial changes, the main technical changes are as follows.
a) The scope of the standard has been changed (see Chapter 1, Chapter 1 of the 2005 edition);
b) Deleted the PKI management overview (see Chapter 5 of the 2005 edition);
c) Deleted the content related to proof of possession of encryption key and private key (see 6.3.2 and 7.2.8 of the 2005 edition) and proof of possession of negotiation key and private key.
Content (see 6.3.3 of the 2005 edition);
d) Deleted the content related to root CA updates (see 6.4 and 8.2 of the 2005 edition);
e) Deleted the prerequisites and restrictions related to terminal entity initialization and initial registration/authentication (see Chapter 6 of the 2005 edition);
f) Added "Process and Message Structure" to describe the process and message structure of certificate management between PKI components (see Chapter 6);
g) Added national standard algorithms and algorithm OIDs supported by the protocol (see Table A.1 in Appendix A);
h) Added the description of "transactionID" (see C.1.2.1 of Appendix C);
i) Added the setting of the protocol version field value (see C.1.2.1);
j) Added the "implicit confirmation" data structure (see C.1.2.2) and the "confirmation waiting time" data structure (see C.1.2.3);
k) Added support for the certificate template identifier "certTemplateID" field in the generalInfo extension of PKIHead (see C.1.2.4);
l) Added descriptions on “multiple protection” (see C.1.4);
m) The encrypted value data structure has been changed to "SM2EnvelopedKey" (see C.2.2, 7.2.2 of the 2005 edition), and the protocol has been added Encrypted data is uniformly changed to use "SM2EnvelopedKey" (see C.3.2, 6.2.2, 7.3.2, Appendix E of the 2005 edition);
n) Added content related to certificate confirmation (see C.1.3, C.3.15);
o) Added "Polling Request and Response" data structures (see C.3.19);
p) Added content related to certificate freeze and certificate thawing requests and responses (see C.1.3, C.3.20, and C.3.21);
q) added more information on failure conditions (see C.2.3);
r) Added support for applying for multiple certificates using CertReqMessages and for requesting multiple certificates using CertRepMessage There are multiple implementation options for response, clarifying that there are multiple options for implementation (see C.3.1 and C.3.2), clarifying a Common implementation methods (see A.5);
s) Deleted the content related to cross-certification (see 7.3.11, 7.3.12, and 8.6 of the 2005 edition);
t) Deleted the PKI management functions related to CA initialization and terminal entity initialization (see Chapter 8 of the 2005 edition);
u) Deleted the transmission-related content of the CMP protocol (see Chapter 9 and Appendix G of the 2005 edition);
v) Deleted "Request Message Behavior Description" (see Appendix D of the 2005 edition) and incorporated its main content into Appendix C (see C.2.8, C.3.1);
w) The certificate management protocol OID has been changed (see Appendix F of the 2005 edition).
