Copyright © 2008, CIBER Norge AS 3 Short introduction to PKI Public Key Infrastructure An arrangement that binds public keys with respective user identities by means of a certificate authority (CA) Identification and authentication Signature Encryption PKI provides the highest level of authentication, but the use of electronic ID with lower security is more common. The use should always be based on necessary and adequate security.

Copyright © 2008, CIBER Norge AS 4 Norwegian framework for eID and PKI EU Directive 1999/93 Community framework for electronic signatures Norwegian Electronic Signatures Act -Concerning the secure and efficient use of electronic signatures -Requirements for qualified certificates and the issuers of certificates A common Requirements specification for PKI for the public sector:Requirements specification for PKI for the public sector -A general, functional specification of the requirements applicable to the procurement of PKI for use in electronic communication with and within the public sector -Specifies three security levels for PKI A common framework for Authentication and Repudiation: -Advise on assessing adequate security of egovernment services to establish common criteria and practice -Divided into two categories: Level of risks and level of security

Copyright © 2008, CIBER Norge AS 5 The PKI specification: Levels of security Person High: Transactions where there is a need for a high degree of certainty about the identity of the originator; eg. access to particularly sensitive information or where damage caused by compromise would be extensive Person Standard: Transactions where there is a need for a reasonable degree of certainty about the identity of the originator or where the damage caused by compromise would be medium level Enterprise: Transactions where there is a need for a high degree of certainty that the originator is/represents a specified enterprise or where the damage caused by compromise would be extensive

Copyright © 2008, CIBER Norge AS 6 The common framework: Levels of risk -Level 1: No risk for negative consequences if there occurs a security breach during authentication/signing -Level 2: Low or minimal damages or consequences -Level 3: Moderate damages or consequences -Level 4: Large and possibly permanent damages or consequences -Risk = Probability x Consequences -Criteria’s for deciding the risk level -Consequences for life and health -Financial losses -Loss of reputation / integrity -Prevention of prosecution -Negligently contribution to violation of the law -Inconvenience

Copyright © 2008, CIBER Norge AS 7 The common framework: Levels of security -Level 1: No or low security requirements, open information -Level 2: One authentification factor -Level 3: Two authentification factors, where one is dynamic -Level 4: PKI -Criteria’s for deciding the security level -Requirements for authentication factors and their security properties -Requirements for distributing electronic IDs to the users -How stored authentication factors must be secured -Requirements to repudiation -Requirements to public approval

Copyright © 2008, CIBER Norge AS 9 Definitions: Electronic signature An electronic signature is used for signing electronic information in order to give the receiver a proof of the senders identity (authentication) and the documents integrity. This is done by encrypting the information using the signers private key [1]. The user receiving the information can validate the signature using the signers public key [2], that is sent together with the shipment. The public signature is also made available at a Certificate Authority, CA [3]. [1][1] A private key is a key that only is available for the owner of the key. It is used for encrypting a document or creating an electronic signature. [2][2] A public key is a key that is made public for all communication parts, and is used for decrypting an encrypted document or validating an electronic signature. [3][3] The CA is a trusted authority that issues the private / public key pair to a user (certificate), and holds a list of valid public keys for users, in addition to a Certificate Revocation List (CRL) for expired key pairs, stolen keys or other keys that no longer can be trusted.

SEID-SDO Document Certificate Electronic signature Validation information

PKI is not commonly used Norway are developing an intercommunication hub called ’Samtrafikknavet’ ’Samtrafikknavet’ will validate already existing public eID (and possibly private), and provide Single Sign-On for the citizens of Norway in their use of e- Goverment services The project was assigned 80 MNOK on the budget for 2009 DIFI is managing the development and implementation project, and will be the administrator of the service A parallel project is to distribute a level 4 eID (PKI) in a national ID card developed by the Ministry of Justice
