3.3.1 Certificates content U.K.
CSM_017RSA Public key certificates are built with the following data in the following order:U.K.
Notes: U.K.
1.The ‘Certificate Profile Identifier’ (CPI) delineates the exact structure of an authentication certificate. It can be used as an equipment internal identifier of a relevant headerlist which describes the concatenation of Data Elements within the certificate.U.K.

The headerlist associated with this certificate content is as follows:

‘4D’‘16’‘5F 29’‘01’‘42’‘08’‘5F 4B’‘07’‘5F 24’‘04’‘5F 20’‘08’‘7F 49’‘05’‘81’‘81 80’‘82’‘08’

2.The ‘Certification Authority Reference’ (CAR) has the purpose of identifying the certificate issuing CA, in such a way that the Data Element can be used at the same time as an Authority Key Identifier to reference the Public Key of the Certification Authority (for coding, see Key Identifier below).U.K.
3.The ‘Certificate Holder Authorisation’ (CHA) is used to identify the rights of the certificate holder. It consists of the Tachograph Application ID and of the type of equipment to which the certificate is intended (according to data element, ‘00’ for a Member State).U.K.
4.The ‘Certificate Holder Reference’ (CHR) has the purpose of identifying uniquely the certificate holder, in such a way that the Data Element can be used at the same time as a Subject Key Identifier to reference the Public Key of the certificate holder.U.K.
5.Key Identifiers uniquely identify certificate holder or certification authorities. They are coded as follows:U.K.
5.1

Equipment (VU or Card):

DataEquipment serial numberDateTypeManufacturer
Length4 Bytes2 Bytes1 Byte1 Byte
ValueIntegermm yy BCD codingManufacturer specificManufacturer code

In the case of a VU, the manufacturer, when requesting certificates, may or may not know the identification of the equipment in which the keys will be inserted.

In the first case, the manufacturer will send the equipment identification with the public key to its Member State authority for certification. The certificate will then contain the equipment identification, and the manufacturer must ensure that keys and certificate are inserted in the intended equipment. The Key identifier has the form shown above.

In the later case, the manufacturer must uniquely identify each certificate request and send this identification with the public key to its Member State authority for certification. The certificate will contain the request identification. The manufacturer must feed back its Member State authority with the assignment of key to equipment (i.e. certificate request identification, equipment identification) after key installation in the equipment. The key identifier has the following form:

The key serial number is used to distinguish the different keys of a Member State, in the case the key is changed.

6.Certificate verifiers shall implicitly know that the public key certified is an RSA key relevant to authentication, digital signature verification and encipherement for confidentiality services (the certificate contains no Object Identifier to specify it).U.K.
