Description Christina Fu 2019-01-16 18:46:57 UTC

Description of problem:
As part of the Common Criteria evaluation, our evaluation testing lab, Gossamer, reported that the instruction we give in the guidance on using certutil does not meet the requirement.
The requirement is to NOT allow import of a cert until verified.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. follow latest version of CC guidance Planning guide 
Chapter 13. Managing Certificate/Key Crypto Token

2. import using "certutil -A ..."
3. verify using "certutil -V ..."

Actual results:
The instruction itself breaks the requirement of "no import until verification".

Expected results:
instruction should be "verify and then import"

Additional info:
further discussion with Gossamer and Bob Relyea, we decided to write a shell script wrapper for certutil and adopt the two-token approach to achieve "verify first; import after".

    Add validate-then-import certificate utility

    The NSS utility certutil requires certificates to be imported
    (`certutil -A`) prior to validating their signatures and usage
    (`certutil -V -e`). PKICertImport avoids this pitfall by handling both
    import and validation in the same step, so if the validation fails, the
    certificate is removed. This ensures it is not accidentally used before
    it is verified.
