Overview
1.1 General

  • 1.1
  • General

Enrollment over secure transport, followed shortened as EST, is defined in RFC 7030 and profiles certificate enrollment for clients using Certificate Management over CMS (CMC) messages over a secure transport. This profile describes a simple yet functional certificate management protocol targeting Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) clients that need to acquire client certificates and associated Certification Authority (CA) certificates. Enrollment over Secure Transport (EST) describes the use of Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) to provide an authenticated and authorized channel for simple Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) Requests and Responses. Architecturally, the EST service is located between a Certification Authority (CA) and a client. It performs several functions traditionally allocated to the Registration Authority (RA) role in a PKI. EST specifies how to transfer messages securely via HTTP over TLS (HTTPS), where the HTTP headers and media types are used in conjunction with TLS.

1.2 1.3
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)

A public key infrastructure (PKI) is a set of roles, policies, and procedures needed to create, manage, distribute, use, store, and revoke digital certificates and manage public-key encryption.

Certification Authority (CA)

Parts of a PKI amongst others are one or more Certification Authorities (CA) which are entities issuing digital certificates. A digital certificate certifies the ownership of a public key by the named subject of the certificate.

Digital Certificate

A digital certificate is a data structure that binds a public key value to a subject. A binding is achieved by a trusted certification authority (CA) verifying the identity of the subject and digitally signing the certificate. The digital certificate has a limited lifetime that is checked by the relying party along with the signature.

Overview 1.4 PKI Workflow

Registration Authority

A registration authority (RA) verifies the identity of entities requesting digital certificates and sends the certificate signing request to the CA. CA and RA are often co-located.

Certificate Revocation List (CRL)

A certificate revocation list is a list of digital certificates that have been revoked by the issuing certificate authority (CA) before their scheduled expiration date and should no longer be trusted. The CRL distribution point, for example a Web server link, is stored inside the certificate. A CRL has a validity and has to be updated from the CA and downloaded from the entity before getting invalid. Often an interval of 24 hours is used.

[sc_certificate_revocation_list, 2, en_US]

  • Figure 1-2
  • Certificate Revocation List

  • 1.4
  • PKI Workflow

In the following figure, the PKI workflow with EST in the Siemens Energy environment is shown. In step (1) the entity creates an asymmetrical key pair to use it later for example as https server certificate. The entity creates a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) including the public key and entity information as well as the intended use of the requested certificate and sends it to the RA/CA (2). The RA/CA signs the CSR with the CA private key (3) and sends the created certificate back to the entity (4). In general certificates often will be stored in a public repository (Directory Service). In case of revoked certificates this CRL will also be stored in a public available repository (Directory Service or Web server).

2.1 Function

  • 2.1
  • Function

The EST protocol is described here as implemented for Siemens products in the Energy Automation/Digitalized Grid domain. All other flavors can be found inside the RFC 7030 of EST (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7030). All other flavors can be found inside the RFC of EST. The EST protocol enables a PKI client (entity) to request a new certificate and a certificate renewal from a Certification Authority (CA). The EST Server acts as a Registration Authority (RA), the EST CA is logically "behind" the EST server. As EST is based on the TLS protocol, mutual authentication based on X.509 certificates is used here to authenticate the server against the entity and vice versa.

[sc_est_workflow, 2, en_US]

  • Figure 2-1
  • EST Workflow

  • 2.2
  • Authentication

At the beginning, the entity and EST server have X.509 certificates. The entity has initial imprinting certificates received during production phase or got the initial certificates during engineering phase. The SICAM GridPass EST server is placed inside the customer environment and gets the EST server certificate during the environment installation phase of SICAM GridPass as described in this document. The entities get the CA certificate which has issued the EST server certificate during engineering phase of the entity. The SICAM GridPass EST server gets the Siemens CA certificate during installation of SICAM GridPass in case Siemens imprinting certificates are used within the entities. In all other cases the CA certificates of all issuing CAs have to be imported beforehand. Now the chain of trust is established. The SICAM GridPass EST server can verify the entity certificates and the entities can verify the EST server certificate of SICAM GridPass. EST is based on TLS and is configured in Siemens Energy Automation products to use mutual authentication. The EST server is verifying the entity certificates and vice versa. The EST client (entity) is verifying the entity certificate during the TLS handshake. If the connection is established the CSR will be sent via the authenticated and secured connection. Also the signed certificate will be sent back to the entity via this connection.

Enrollment over Secure Transport (EST) 2.3 CRL

  • 2.3
  • CRL

The EST client and EST server check the validity of received certificates against a CRL. The CRL distribution point URL is stored inside the certificates and is generally a Web server (http). The CRL is updated continuously by the CA and the EST client has to retrieve the CRL before the next update information placed inside the CRL is reached. The CRL is signed by the CA which has issued the revoked certificate.

Introduction A host of considerations When—and how—to introduce IIoT into manufacturing environments is not a one-size-fits-all endeavor. Discover industry challenges driving Explore factors contributing to the demand to implement IIoT solutions changing industrial ecosystem Examine device- and connectivity-level Review relevant factors while opportunities for introducing IIoT navigating the changing landscape Where are we now?
