1. Document overview
1.1

Introduction

The process of providing applications on a GlobalPlatform Multi-application Chip


Card requires intensive use of cryptography and cryptographic keys based on the
integrated security architecture of GlobalPlatform.
The management of these cryptographic keys is becoming increasingly important as
the environment in which the Chip Card comes to life becomes more complex. Many
entities may play a role in the production of a multi application chip card. Each
entity will have security responsibilities within its role and must manage its part of
the security architecture seamlessly within the overall security architecture. To be
able to perform these security responsibilities, a Key Management System (KMS)
that meets certain requirements shall be used.
This document will outline the functional requirements for a Key Management
System as part of the overall GlobalPlatform Security Architecture.

1.2

Scope

The GlobalPlatform Key Management Functional Requirements define the


minimum functional requirements required for the support of keys within the
Security Architecture of GlobalPlatform. The scope extends the requirements for key
management to include the requirements for cryptographic services.
Application specific keys may also be supported by a GlobalPlatform Key
Management System.
The document identifies the general requirements for robust key management. The
document covers how the keys are generated, stored, how they are used and how
they are exchanged between entities. At a more specific level the document covers
the cryptographic keys for the Issuer Security Domain and any supplementary
Security Domains, plus the services that are needed for card enablement and
application loading.
Furthermore, the document covers the key management services needed by the
Application Provider when personalizing applications, plus the types of keys
potentially needed or supported in this area.
The Key Management Functional Requirements relate to the GlobalPlatform
Card Specification 2.1.

Platform Key Management System

The Platform Key Management System provides platform related


key management on behalf of Card Issuers.

Post-Issuance Load/Install

The process of downloading applications and data to the card after


the card has been issued to the cardholder. This process requires
establishing a secure channel between the Application Load Server
and the chip-card.

Private Key

The private (secret) component of an asymmetric key pair. Its owner


always keeps the private key in secret. The private key may be used
to decrypt messages that are encrypted using the corresponding
public key. It may also be used to digitally sign messages for
authentication purposes.

Public Key

The public component of an asymmetric key pair. The public key is


usually publicly exposed and available to users. A certificate to

A cryptographic technique that uses the same secret key for both
the originators and the recipients transformation. Without
knowledge of the secret key, it is computationally not feasible to
compute either the originators or the recipients transformation.

Test

A Key Profile may be marked as Live or Test, a Key Profile marked


as Test should be treated as a data that has been used during the
creation of test applications/cards.

2. Overview of Key Management Systems


The minimum functionality of a KMS is to logically maintain a key's set of
attributes, such as operations that can be performed by the key, validity period of
the key and associations of the key with other entities.
Keys within a system are in general used for different purposes. In order to ensure
a key is only used for the purpose for which it was intended, it has bound with it a
set of attributes defining how it may be used.
The term key in this document conveys a more comprehensive meaning than the
popular use of the term which simply refers to its cryptographic binary value. To
avoid confusion here the term Key Value is used to describe the cryptographic
binary value, and the term Key Profile is used to describe an object which contains
the Key Value and a set of attributes. Depending on the keys purpose, the
attributes contained within a Key Profile will vary.

Figure 2-1 : Relationship between Key Values, Attributes and Key Profiles
Figure 2-1 illustrates how various Key Profiles can be created from 3 sets of
attributes (, and ) and 2 keys (A and B).
Key Profile1 and Key Profile2 do not contain a Key Value, this would typically be the
first state of a Key Profile, where for example only usage has been set. From these
Key Profiles, Key Values can be added, essentially using the original as a template,
and in doing so creating new Key Profiles. If the same Key Value is to be used by

two parties for different purposes then two Key Profiles would be required as they
must contain different attributes.
In the example the creation of the following new Key Profiles are shown:

Key Profile1 created using Attributes, and Key Profile2 using Attributes

Key Profile3 based on Key Profile1 when KeyA loaded, and Key Profile4 using
Attributes

Key Profile5 based on Key Profile1 when KeyB loaded, and Key Profile6 using
Attributes

Key Profiles7a7c created using Attributes and KeyB split into 3 components

Typically when transferring key components, such as Key Profiles7a..7c, they would
also be accompanied with another Key Profile, such as Key Profile1 or Key Profile2,
which would provide the final usage attributes of the combined key. Attributes will
not contain the final usage of the combined key; it instead contains the attributes
that explain this is a key component.
To illustrates how a Key Values and Key Profiles could be used, if we take an
example, from
Figure 2-2, where two parties (A & B) need to share a key. PartyA is the owner of the
Key and use the key for Encryption, PartyB have received the key from PartyA and
use the key for Decryption. This will then product two Key Profiles, one in each of
the Parties key management system, both Profiles will contain the same Key Value
but will contain different attributes.

What is a KMS

A Key Management System is a system to securely generate, store, distribute and


delete cryptographic Key Values and attributes. A KMS is part of a larger system
that requires cryptographic Key Values. A Key Management System is typically a
software based system making use of a hardware based cryptographic processor for
secure operations, and consists of 4 elements:

A database for storage of the Key Values and attributes

Services to the systems needing Key Values typically in the form of an API

An HSM (if required by the market security requirements) to ensure the


secrecy and integrity of the Key Values and attributes, and also provide a
resource for the mathematically intensive nature of Key Value generation

Procedures or more accurate man/machine interface supporting procedures

Except for the requirements for security and procedural support, a Key Management
System is much like any other management system e.g. a Card Management
System. At the heart of the system lies a Database storing the Data and an API
giving access to that Data and the services associated with it.

3. General Key Management System


Requirements
In order to protect an asset and manage Key Values in a robust way there are
certain principles that must be applied to the design of a key management system.
There are certain requirements for key management that are general enough to be
listed as requirements for all KMSs. The requirements stated in this document, if
followed, lay down a basis for interoperability and mutual trust between business
entities that need to share and/or use cryptographic information.

3.1

Overall requirements for a KMS

[ R-1 ] The KMS shall be able to maintain Key Profiles during the entire lifetime for
a specific Key Profile i.e. from definition, generation and storing, exchanging and
using to expiration and deletion.
[ R-2 ] The KMS shall provide services to relevant systems having the need for use
of a specific Key Profile. These services will provide a mechanism for users of the
KMS to generate exchange and retrieve keys.
[ R-3 ] The KMS shall have any secret or critical function (such as generating or

Requirements for HSM

The KMS relies on a HSM to supply certain capabilities the following section.
[ R-5 ] The actual implementation of such a support is not mandated, but the
minimum requirements for a HSM shall encompass support for:

GlobalPlatform Key Management System Functional Requirements

Page 19

[ R-5f ] RNG testing shall be performed periodically to verify that is


continues to operate correctly according to FIPS 140-2, any errors shall be
reported to the KMS.

[ R-6a ] Services offered by the HSM, in addition to the requirements stated in this
document shall not enable the HSM requirements of the GlobalPlatform KMS to be
circumvented, for example the KMS requires Key Profile separation, the HSM must
not offer additional or legacy services to enable the key separation to be overridden.
[ R-6b ] The HSM shall be certified on a level corresponding to at least FIPS 140-2
level 3.

3.3

Requirement for Access and Audit

[ R-7 ] The KMS shall be able to limit access to each Key Value and the functions
possible for a Key Value to those with a defined need. [ R-8 ] No person must have
access to a clear text value of any Key Value within the KMS.
[ R-9 ] The KMS shall be able to manage and track any changes to the Key Profiles.
[ R-10 ] The changes shall be tracked in a way that the information concerning the
changes can be trusted. [ R-11a ] The changes may be tracked in a way that they
can be compared with information of the intended use of the Key Values and
functions within the Key Management System. [ R-11b ] Periodically an audit shall
be done to review the changes tracked in order to verify that all of them are correct.

3.4

Requirements for Supporting Cryptographic Algorithms


and their Modes

[ R-12 ] The KMS shall be capable of supporting Key Values for the following
algorithms:

[ R12a ] TDEA Triple Digital Encryption Algorithm


ECB & CBC as described in FIPS PUB 81.

[ R-12b ] RSA Rivest Shamir Adleman

Requirements for Key Profile

[ R-13 ] The KMS shall support a standard structure representing the attributes of
a Key Value. The structure will be known as a Key Profile and act as a prototype for
a Key Value.
The attributes making up a Key Profile can be grouped into three sections. The first
contains those attributes used to identify a Key Profile (Owner, Source/Sender,
Destination/Receiver, Name, etc.). The second is made up of those attributes that
define the context, environment, usage, type, etc. of a Key Profile. The final section
contains those attributes that make up a version of a key (value,
expiration/activation dates, version identification, integrity checks, etc.).
[ R-14 ] A Profile is a unique set of attributes and shall be uniquely identified. Many
Key Profiles can be based on a single source Profile if they share the same context,
environment, usage, type, etc. (i.e. multiple versions of a Key Value would share the
same Profile).
[ R-15 ] The presence of individual attributes or parts of a Key Profile shall be
classified as mandatory or optional. [ R-16 ] A Key Value shall not be used for
cryptographic purposes unless all mandatory attributes are present in a Key Profile.
[ R-17 ] see [ R-29 ] for requirements on Key Exchange.
A Key Value may be associated with more than one Key Profile although this
requirement is not expected to be needed within the same KMS system. An example
of this is the Transport Key used by the Card Issuer may have the usage of Wrap
and Encrypt, and for the Card Enabler the same Key Value is to be loaded into a
different Key Profile which may have a usage of Unwrap and Decrypt. These two
different actors therefore use different KMSs with the correct Key Profile loaded into
each. If the Card Issuer and Card Enabler were being carried out by the same actor
they would probably not use a Transport Key.

3.6

Requirements for Key Generation

[ R-18 ] The KMS shall be able to generate Key Values compliant to the
cryptographic algorithms supported by the KMS.
[ R-19 ] The generated Key Values shall be cryptographically sound according to the
nature of the algorithm. This requirement encompasses the algorithms defined in
this document:

3.6.1

[ R-20 ] TDEA:
[ R-20a ] Shall be 128 bit key, comprising of 112 bit Key Value plus odd
parity

[ R-20c ] Shall be generated using either a True Random Number Generator


or a Pseudo Random Number Generator. The Random Number Generator
that is used shall be designed to pass the statistical tests specified in FIPS
140-2

3.6.2

[ R-21 ] RSA:

The General KMS requirement here is to support generation of RSA-keys, however


actual specific requirements to the RSA key generation can and probably will be
obtained from the requirements for the GP Card and/or Application KMSs.

[ R-21a ] The KMS should be able to generate and manage RSA keys with a
Public Key modulus lengths greater than or equal to 512 bits

[ R-21b ] The RSA key shall be generated to meet the requirements specified
in the Key Profile defined for each application

3.7

Requirements for Key Revocation

[ R-22 ] Where revocation services are employed the following requirements shall be
maintained:

[ R-22a ] Maintaining a list of revoked key values and all associated profiles

[ R-22b ] Report list of revoked key values & profiles

[ R-22c ] Distribution of revocation lists or other mechanisms to verify


current or recent validity of keys

3.8

Requirements for Storing Keys

[ R-23 ] All Key Values, based on their longevity, shall be stored in a way that they
are protected from exposure and unauthorized modification; the associated key
profiles shall also be protected from unauthorized modification. A procedural policy
is required to define what is modifiable with what level of authorization.
[ R-24 ] Along with the actual Key Value other information shall be stored. This
information represents necessary properties of the Key Value. Other than the
properties than can be found in the corresponding Key Profile, a Key Value has
properties that are directly related to the actual value. The information stored shall
include at least:

[ R-24a ] Unique ID of the specific Key Value.

[ R-24b ] The intended usage of the Key Value.

[ R-24c ] The ID of the Key Profile.

[ R-24d ] Information on how the Key Value is encrypted, i.e. an


identification of the Key Profile encrypting the Key Value.

[ R-24e ] Expiration date.

[ R-24f ] Indicator for whether a Key Value is for test or live-environment.

[ R-24g ] Key Check Value, which makes it possible to exchange information


about a given Key Value without exposure of the actual Key Value.

3.9

Requirements for Key Exchanging

3.9.1

General Principle for Exchanging Keys

[ R-25 ] The KMS shall be able to exchange both the Profile of the key and the Key
Value itself.
[ R-26 ] It may be possible to exchange a number of Transport Keys (TK) between
physically separated Key Management Systems, which have the need to exchange
Key Profiles.
[ R-27 ] At least the first Key Profile exchanged between two such systems shall be
done in a manner that shall provide mutual authentication1 between the two
entities. [ R-28 ] The key exchange may be done in manner that provides secrecy of
the Key Value.
Transport Keys can be exchanged using various methods and/or media such as
diskette, paper, Smart Cards, VPN or LAN-connections.

3.9.2

Exchanging Key Profiles

[ R-29 ] The KMS shall support the following to enable Exchanging Key Profiles:

[ R-29a ] The KMS shall be able to store, organize and retrieve the
information relating to the Profile used for a specific Key Value.

Mutual Authentication in this context can be achieved procedurally or cryptographically.


The intention of this requirement is to ensure the key value & attributes are shared with the
correct party and not an impostor.

even if the exchange is performed in multiple transmissions.

3.9.3

Exchanging TDEA keys

[ R-30 ] The KMS shall be able to support a secure exchange of TDEA Keys with
another KMS using the GlobalPlatform Key Profile as specified in the
GlobalPlatform Profiles specification.
[ R-31 ] A Key shall be exchanged as components or in encrypted format as
mutually agreed upon between sender and receiver. If exchanged as components, the
Key Value shall be exchanged as a number of components, bigger than one, with
each component written to a separate medium (e.g. one diskette per component), and
each should be sent independently.
The number components (n) shall ensure that the knowledge of one, or m, (where
m<n) of the components impeaches the recover of other components or the clear key
value.
[ R-32 ] In case a Key Profile is imported into the KMS, the KMS shall be able to
check for odd parity of the Key Value. When the Key Value does not have odd parity
the KMS shall not accept the Key Profile.
[ R-33 ] In both cases, certain information other than the actual Key Value shall be
transferred along with the Key Value. This information shall encompass at least:

[ R-33a ] ID of the specific Key Profile uniquely identifying the Key Profile to
both sender and receiver;

[ R-33b ] Indicator for whether the Key Value is a test or a live key;

[ R-33c ] Key Check value making it possible to verify that Key Value after
installation has the same value at both sender and receiver;
[ R-33c1 ] If exchanged in the clear each component shall have a Key
Check Value attached;
[ R-33c2 ] For both clear and encrypted Key Values the final
(combined) Key Value shall have a Key Check Value attached;

[ R-33d ] For Encrypted Key Values only, a unique identification of the


Transport Key (TK) used to encrypt the exchanged Key Value. The ID shall
be unique to both sender and receiver, and based on Name/Owner/Version or
OID.

sender and receiver;

[ R-35b ] Indicator for whether the Key Value is a test or a live key;

[ R-35c ] Integrity check such as a Key Check Value making it possible to


verify that Key Value after installation has the same value at both sender

A.1. About GlobalPlatform Key Management


Systems
A.1.1 About this chapter
Whenever a Key Management System is evaluated, those business requirements
necessary for a specific implementation are naturally of highest importance.
Besides the general requirements for a Key Management System as defined in
chapter 3, there are specific GlobalPlatform requirements for managing the Key
Values for GlobalPlatform cards and applications. These requirements are derived
from the GlobalPlatform Card Specification 2.1.
In order to understand these requirements it is necessary to provide an overview of
the GlobalPlatform key types and how they are distributed.

A.1.2 GlobalPlatform Key Management System overview


A GlobalPlatform Key Management System (KMS) shall support the GlobalPlatform
Security Architecture requirements.
Security Domains form the basis for the GlobalPlatform security architecture. A
Security Domain can be either the Issuer Security Domain managed by the Card
Issuer or it can be a Supplementary Security Domain managed by an Application
Provider, a regulatory authority or the Issuer itself.
There are two types of Key Management Systems.

The GP Card KMS used by the Card Issuer for support of Key Profiles and
methods for the Issuer Security Domain and any Supplementary Security
Domains;

The Application KMS used by the Application Provider for support of


application specific Key Profiles, PINs and data;

A KMS used by an Application Provider for a Supplementary Security Domain falls


under the scope of a GP Card KMS.
The implementation of Platform and Application Key Management Systems within
the larger production environment is dependent on the role and set of services
offered by the entity requiring key management.
At the most basic level, it is up to the Card Issuer to make decisions regarding the
distribution of Key Values and the implementation of a KMS. The KMS may be a
stand-alone workstation using a Hardware Security Module (HSM) as an encryption

engine, it may be separate or integrated with the Smart Card Management System
(SCMS) or it may even serve as both the GP Card KMS and the Application KMS for
some of the Card Issuers applications.

A.1.3 GP Card KMS versus Application KMS


It is important to understand the difference between GP Card KMS and an
Application KMS.
The GP Card KMS manages Key Profiles for the Issuer Security Domain and
Supplementary Security Domains, while the Application KMS manages keys for the
applications.
The Card Issuer will use the GP Card KMS for managing its Issuer Security Domain
Key Profiles, the Application Provider will use the GP Card KMS for managing its
Supplementary Security Domain keys, and both will use the Application KMS for
managing their application Key Profiles.
The application Key Profiles are managed by the Application Provider, but Card
Issuers routinely provide at least one application as well, and thus require an
Application KMS. However the Card Issuer may allow other applets on the card,
belonging to third party Application Providers within the same trust-model. This
means that the Card Issuer and a specific Application Provider have a mutually
agreed business relationship, making it feasible to use the Card Issuer Key Profiles
for the loading and personalization of the application Providers application. In this
scenario only one GP Card KMS is required, however an Application KMS is
required for each application supported on the card.
If the Card Issuer wishes to allow third party applets that are not within the same
trust-model, it becomes necessary to introduce Supplementary Security Domains, in
addition to the Issuer Security Domain. This makes it possible for an Application
Loader to add applications to a card without using the Issuer Security Domain Key
Values. A GP Card KMS, separate from the one belonging to the Card Issuer must
then be set up for the Application Provider, in which case there will be two Platform
Key Management systems and an Application KMS for each application on the card.
Alternatively, the Issuer or an Application Provider may set up a Supplementary
Security Domain purely to perform DAP verification to ensure the Card Issuers
approval of all the application loads.

A.1.3.1 Key Management System Keys


The Key Management System supports the following types of Key Values:

TDEA keys used by the GP Card KMS for the Issuer Security Domain and
Supplementary Security Domains;

A.1.3.2 Naming Convention for Keys


Table 2 defines the different key types typically used in a GlobalPlatform
implementation that must be managed by a KMS. GlobalPlatform defines three
derived key types for the Secure Channel Protocol management, namely S-ENC, SMAC, and DEK. In order to precisely identify a Key Value and the step of the card
life cycle where it applies, a prefix is added in this document to the name of each key
type. As an example, the Initial Issuer Security Domain key types are prefixed with
KDC (KDCenc, KDCmac, and KDCdek).

A.1.3.3 Key Management System Roles
In order to understand the key types and services needed by a GlobalPlatform Key
Management System (KMS), it is necessary to see it in conjunction with the various
roles of the entities taking part in the process of producing a GlobalPlatform Chip
Card.

Figure 1-1: Key Management System Roles illustrates the various roles and their
interaction with of the GlobalPlatform KMS. The separation between each role in
this figure, as with all figures in this document, does not imply that one entity is
restricted to only one role. On the contrary it will be typical that one entity plays
more than one role, for example a Card Issuer will typically also perform Application
Key Management for one or more applications on the ICC.
Refer to Table 2: Naming convention for Keys for the naming and definition of the
key types.

Note 1: The impact to the Key Management Systems when an Application Provider
uses a Supplementary Security Domain will be outlined in detail in section A.1.5
Application KMS keys.
In this context, it is expected, if being part of a GP Card KMS, that the
Manufacturer KMS, for ISK, will use the same algorithm, mechanisms and method
as the GP Card KMS in general.
The ISK shared between the IC Manufacturer and Card Enabler is to ensure that
the IC is protected between the IC manufacturer and the Card Enabler.
The Card Enabler enables the card for a specific Card Issuer by assigning the
Issuers IIN to the ICC and by installing the initial set of Issuer Key Values (KDCs)
derived from the Issuers Initial Master Key Value KMC.
Through the distribution of the KMC to a specific Application Loader the Card
Issuer now controls who can load, install and personalize the applets on the ICC.
During the Personalization process it is possible to use the GlobalPlatform KDCs for
the personalization of the application Key Values, PIN and other secret data to be
used by a specific applet.
After the Applet has been personalized the Card Issuer secures the card by having
the CDKs derived from CMK installed. By doing so, the KMC is effectively disabled.
The Card Issuer can now use the CMK as the Key Value to secure any post-issuance
activity on the card.

A.1.3.4 Key Management System scenarios


There are at least four distinct pre-issuance scenarios for a GlobalPlatform KMS:

KMS with one Security Domain (automatically being the Issuer Security
Domain)

KMS with more than one Security Domain (i.e. the Issuer Security Domain
and one or more Supplementary Security Domains).

KMS with more than one Security Domain and integrity-checking when
loading and/or installing the applet (DAP Verification).

KMS with more than one Security Domain having one or more
Supplementary Security Domains with Delegated Management privilege for
application load and install.

For all scenarios the method for protecting the IC between the IC Manufacturer and
Card Enabler is the ISK Key Value as described in Figure 1-1: Key Management
System Roles. This part of the scenario being constant it is not repeated in
subsequent specific scenario illustrations nor is the Manufacturer KMS detail
repeated for the same reason.

KMS with one Security Domain

The first scenario is as illustrated in Figure 1-3. It assumes that the Card Issuer
controls the GP Card KMS and that the Application Provider is under the same
trust-model as the GP Card KMS either being the same organization or under
control of a mutual agreed trust-model.

the application Key Values.

KMS with more than one Security Domain

The second scenario assumes that the Card Issuer and the Application Provider are
not under the same trust-model. Hence it must be possible for the Application
Provider to establish a secure channel without using the Card Issuer Key Values.

feature. It is possible for the Application Provider to verify that the applet loaded
and installed by the Card Issuer is the correct one.

A.1.4 GP Card KMS Keys


The GP Card KMS is used for generating and storing of Key Profiles for Issuer
Security Domain Key Values. The GP Card KMS also generates and stores the Key
Profiles for an Application Provider Security Domain. The GP Card KMS may be
used for exporting these Key Profiles to other entities such as the Card Enabler or
the Application Loader.
Key Values are identified by a Key Identifier and a Key Version as defined in
GlobalPlatform Card Specification 2.1.
The GP Card KMS maintains, beside the Transport Key Values used for secure
communication with other Key Management Systems, two categories of key types:

Key Profiles for secure communication and content management between the
card and an off-card entity;

Key Profiles for managing permissions and application integrity.

9 Encryption Key (KDCenc);
9 Key Encryption Key (KDCdek).

Final Card Manager Master Key (CMK), used to derive the final Card
Manager Key Values below for the SECURED state. During personalization,
only the final derived Key Values are exchanged with the Application Loader,
i.e. the Key Values are derived by the GP Card KMS and the master key
remains known to the Issuer only.
9 MAC Key (CDKmac)
9 Encryption Key (CDKenc)
9 Key Encryption Key (CDKdek).

A.1.4.1.2

Permission Management Keys

Card Manager or Issuer Security Domain Receipt Key (CMKRECEIPT),


used to sign a receipt indicating that a delegated management load, install,
extraction, or deletion has occurred.

Issuer private/public key pair (IPKTOKEN), used to sign the Extradition,


Load and Install tokens. The KMS must have the flexibility to support key
lengths ranging from 512 to 2048 bits. The IPKTOKEN secret Key Value will be
stored within the GP Card KMS used to generate tokens. The IPKTOKEN public
Key Value will be sent to the card enabler for placing on the card. The
detailed token format is defined in the GlobalPlatform Card
Specification 2.1.

DAP Verification Key, used to verify the Load file of the Application
Provider. The key type can be a public key or a TDEA key. The format of the
load file includes a DAP block (a signature of the load file generated using a
symmetric key or an asymmetric key) followed by the Load File Data Block
(which is the actual code). The detailed format is defined in the
GlobalPlatform Card Specification 2.1.

A.1.5 Application KMS keys


The Application KMS will be used for generation and storing of Key Profiles for
applet specific purposes and possible export of those Key Profiles to the Application
Loader. Since these Key Profiles are application specific and not defined within
GlobalPlatform, they are not identified by name and as unique Key Profiles they are
not considered part of this specification.
However since the intention is to use the GP Card KMS Key Profiles for a secure
load of the application Key Values plus other secret information, the services
provided by the GP Card KMS Key Profiles for those purposes will be defined here.
Due to key type separation purposes, it does make sense to identify the application
Key Profiles and secret data, not by name, but by type. The Application KMS Key
Profiles can be used to protect Key Values and data of the following type:

DES/TDEA keys

RSA private keys

B.1. EMV Application Details


B.1.1 About this chapter
In order to understand the key types and processes the Application KMS will be
required to achieve, this chapter will provide a basic overview of the processes that
are required to prepare the data and key types for an EMV application.
This chapter will not cover the use of an EMV application once it has been
personalized.
The requirements for RSA Key Generation are based on off-card RSA Key
Generation, but does not exclude on-card RSA Key Generation.

B.1.2 Actors Roles and Responsibilities

Application Owner The Application Owner acts as the Certification


Authority (CA) who certifies the integrity of the Card Issuer and possibly the
Application Provider. Application Owners in EMV are Institutions such as
MasterCard and Visa that play the role of CAs, they are responsible for
certifying the integrity of Issuers.

Card Issuer The Issuer is the entity responsible for card issuance, although
the production of cards may be sub-contracted to a card production company.
The Issuer is also responsible for the generation of the data that will be used
to create the Card, such as Embossing, Magnetic Stripe, Carrier, etc.

Application Provider The Application Provider performs the Data


Generation of the EMV smart card application, specific for each cardholder.

Application Loader The Application Loader performs the Personalization of


the card and is the role responsible for the loading of the application and/or
application specific data onto the card.

On a multi-application card the Card Issuer and the Application Provider are not
always the same entity. However, this is seldom, if ever, the case with an EMV
application. Since Banks typically issue the card and provide the EMV application,
the Issuer and the Application Provider are the same entity. This chapter simply
refers to the Issuer since many of the EMV application key types refer to the Issuer.
However, it should be understood that in fact we are dealing with application
specific key types, if the EMV application provider will not be the Card Issuer, the
term Issuer should be understood to be an Application Provider.

B.1.5 Processes
B.1.5.1 RSA Data
A Card Issuer is required to register with a Certification Authority. This involves
the Issuer generating their own Issuer Keyset and providing the CA with an Issuer
Public Key Certificate request.
The Application Owner (Certification Authority (CA)) is then responsible for
certifying the Card Issuer by the creation of an Issuer Public Key Certificate (ICert)
and optionally an Issuer Public Key Remainder, using the CA Private Key to sign
the Issuer Public Key.
Once the CA has certified the Issuer Public Key, the Issuer will receive back an
Issuer Public Key Certificate and optionally an Issuer Public Key Remainder.
The Issuer has the following responsibilities:

For DDA the Issuer will be required to create an ICC Keyset and certify the
ICC Public Key using the Issuer Private Key, and to create an ICC Public
Key Certificate, and optionally an ICC Public Key Remainder.

PIN encipherment may use the ICC Key Value used for DDA or the Issuer
may use an ICC PIN Encipherment keyset using the same process used for
DDA.

The Signed Static Application Data (SAD) for each ICC is created by using
the Issuers Private Key.

Once the data has been generated and prepared, it is the responsibility of the
Issuer to provide the Application Loader with key and data; secrecy
(concerning key), confidentiality and integrity in general must be considered
for this operation.

B.1.5.2 TDEA Data


The Issuer is responsible for the creation of the Issuer Master Key (AC, MAC and
ENC). These key types may need to be exported to other parties such as Stand-in
Processor. If the role of Application Provider is not done using the same KMS as the
Card Issuer then the Key Profiles will be required to be exported to the KMS of the
Application Provider.
Once these Key Values have been generated the Issuer is responsible for the
creation of ICC Master Keys (MKs). This is typically achieved by deriving the
Master Keys with a piece of Cardholder specific information ie. the PAN and PAN
Sequence Number as shown in EMV 2000 Version 4.0 Book 2 Annex A1.4.

B.2. Functional Requirements to Support an EMV


Application
While EMV is application specific we document the requirements for EMV as a case
study to demonstrate the KMS requirements for a typical Smartcard application.
Most of the requirements for an Application KMS are up to the specific application
specification to define and so are outside the scope of this document. However the
EMV application will be used as a case study from which to draw Application KMS
requirements.
Application KMS vendors will be responsible for providing extensions to these
requirements to meet the needs of other applications they intend to support. Vendor
specific extensions shall not undermine the security of the KMS requirements in this
document.

B.2.1 EMV Case Study


The remainder of this chapter uses the EMV application as the basis for the
requirements of Application KMS. Vendors not wishing to support an EMV
application are not required to meet these key type and key inter-change
requirements, however other applications are likely to re-use the same principles
that are required for the EMV application.
The EMV application has been chosen for the basis of the Application KMS
requirements due to the well defined and globally understood standards that are in
place to define the application. For further information of the EMV Application see
sections B.1.

B.2.2 Functional Requirements


To be able to utilize the GlobalPlatform security architecture for a secure
installation of an applet and/or applet specific data, the Application KMS shall also
support specific methods from General and GP Card KMS requirements. The
requirements necessary to support GlobalPlatform are a subset of the General and
GP Card KMS requirements for:

Key Value generation;

Key Value exchange;

Key Profile separation;

Key Value export and import.

GlobalPlatform Key Management System Functional Requirements

Page 55

In addition to the common requirements of the General and GP Card KMS the
Application KMS will have a requirement for:

RSA EMV Certificate Inter-change;

Transport of application secret data.

For the transport of application Key Profiles and PINs, the Application KMS shall
make it possible to separate the following types of secret information and encrypt it
in accordance with the nature of its content:

TDEA keys;

RSA private keys;

Secret data like PIN;

Confidential data.

The Application KMS will not be used to generate, store or exchange PINs or other
confidential data, however the Key Profiles stored in the Application KMS may be
used for the encryption of PINs and/or other confidential data.

B.2.2.1 Overall Requirements for a KMS


As previously stated in the General KMS requirements.

B.2.2.2 Requirements for HSM


As previously stated in the General KMS requirements.

B.2.2.3 Requirement for Access and Audit
