Re: Are there DName encoding samples?

Gindin-san

 This is an additional information of the process creating the previous
e-mail's XML Signature.
I created the examples not to escape by my processor.
 I used JDK1.4 on Windows 98, and Internet Explorer 5.5.

1)
The first example is created by a key generated by a batch file of the
following.
(I entered the letters #x11,.. to the batch file by debug command .)

keytool -genkey -alias alias -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -sigalg
SHA1withRSA -dname "CN=HARADA\"KAZUYUKI \", OU=\#Project\,A\+XML\;\<Kiban\>
, O=\"FUJITSU\\limited;\", L=YOKOAMA
SI  , S=\"KANAGAWA KEN \", C=JP" -keypass keypass  -storepass storepass -v

And I created a XML Signature for the key of "alias".

2)
The second example is created for a certificate by Fujitsu's tool .
(If there are the letters #x11.. , the command fails. So I don't set.)

"%SMEE_HOME%\cmmakecsr" -ed "%CMIPATH%" -sd "%SLOTPATH%" -tl tokenLabel -of
D:\src\dom\dsig\tool\smee.csr -f TEXT -c JP -cn "HARADA\"KAZUYUKI \""   -o
FUJITSU\limited;  -ou "#Project,A+XML;<Kiban>"  -ea
harada@prs.cs.fujitsu.co.jp -l "YOKO AMA  SI"   -s "KANAGAWA KEN " -sa
SHA1 -kt RSA -kb 2048  -p keypass

 And the resulting CSR file is

Common Name: HARADA"KAZUYUKI "
Country: JP
Email Address: harada@prs.cs.fujitsu.co.jp
Organization: FUJITSU\limited;
Organization Unit: #Project,A+XML;<Kiban>
State: KANAGAWA KEN
Locality: YOKO AMA  SI

-----END NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----

I created a XML Signature for a key of the certificate.

3)
The third is created by importing the pfx file that I exported the second
example's key by a Fujitsu's tool.
I don't add the pfx file's information but I believe the ceritificate is the
same as the second example.


 Unicode #x11 causes error as XML document, so I think I should escape the
letters #x00-#x1F.
But it is too difficult for me to decode DNames got by MS or Java API and to
encode correctly.

      I am a little confused by the procedure here.  You're not supposed to
escape anything in creating the certificate, just in creating the X509Data
fields.  If you do that, the fact that running this transform multiple
times in the same direction produces different results than running it once
should not hurt you.
      My impression was that the transform defined in the spec defined what
should happen when you convert the certificate's DER (or BER) encoding of a
Distinguished Name to XML.  You may need to code a reverse transform into
either DER or RFC 2253 format to reach the format other API's want.  In
particular, that reverse transform will need to get rid of entity
definitions like &gt.  The problems this leaves seem to be restricted to
quote framing - the different results for ST and L (obviously determined by

the trailing space), and the bizarre result for CN, are things which an
implementation would need to avoid.
      The work you are doing seems quite valuable.  Good luck!

Hi,

 This is an report of DName encoding implementation.

 I tried implementing the encoding, and find something and report it.
For Java and MS Crypto, DNames seem to be encoded.

 For an example of Java, the DName got by the API is
<X509SubjectName>CN=HARADA\"KAZUYUKI \", OU="#Project,A+XML;&lt;Kiban&gt;",
O="FUJITSU\\limited;", L="YOKOAMA
SI", ST=KANAGAWA KEN, C=JP</X509SubjectName>
(I succeeded containing letters #x11, #x1C, #x0A by keytool.)

 Similar DName in another key store,
(I cannot creat a csr containing the letters #x11,.. for it, so I replaced
the letters to spaces.)
<X509SubjectName>CN=HARADA\"KAZUYUKI \", OU="#Project,A+XML;&lt;Kiban&gt;",
O="FUJITSU\\limited;", L="YOKO AMA  SI", ST="KANAGAWA KEN ", C=JP,
EMAILADDRESS=harada@prs.cs.fujitsu.co.jp</X509SubjectName>

 And exporting this certificate to pfx file and importing to MS Crypto,
I get a XML Signature of
<X509SubjectName>E=harada@prs.cs.fujitsu.co.jp, C=JP, S="KANAGAWA KEN ",
L=YOKO AMA  SI, O="FUJITSU\limited;", OU="#Project,A+XML;&lt;Kiban&gt;",
CN="HARADA""KAZUYUKI """</X509SubjectName>

 Now I am thinking my signature processor SHOULD NOT escaping the letters :
",", "+", """, "\", "<", ">", ";", or beggining "#".
(It is escaped in obedience to MS or Java API.)
And my processor SHOULD escape characters of Unicode range \x00 - \x1f.
