1. Introduction

 ACME [RFC8555] is a mechanism for automating certificate management
 on the Internet.  It enables administrative entities to prove
 effective control over resources like domain names, and it automates
 the process of generating and issuing certificates.
 This document describes an extension to ACME for use by S/MIME.
 Section 3 defines extensions for issuing end-user S/MIME [RFC8550]
 certificates.
 This document aims to support both:
 1.  A Mail User Agent (MUA) that has a built-in ACME client that is
     aware of the extension described in this document.  (We will call
     such MUAs "ACME-email-aware".)  Such an MUA can present a nice
     user interface to the user and automate certificate issuance.
 2.  An MUA that is not ACME aware, with a separate ACME client
     implemented in a command-line tool or as a part of a website.
     While S/MIME certificate issuance is not going to be as painless
     as in the case of the ACME-email-aware MUA, the extra burden on a
     user is going to be minimal.

2. Conventions Used in This Document

 The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
 "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
 "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
 BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
 capitals, as shown here.

3. Use of ACME for Issuing End-User S/MIME Certificates

 ACME [RFC8555] defines a "dns" identifier type that is used to verify
 that a particular entity has control over a domain or specific
 service associated with the domain.  In order to be able to issue
 end-user S/MIME certificates, ACME needs a new identifier type that
 proves ownership of an email address.
 This document defines a new identifier type, "email", which
 corresponds to an email address.  The address can be all ASCII
 [RFC5321] or internationalized [RFC6531]; when an internationalized
 email address is used, the domain part can contain both U-labels and
 A-labels [RFC5890].  This can be used with S/MIME or another similar
 service that requires possession of a certificate tied to an email
 address.
 Any identifier of type "email" in a newOrder request MUST NOT have a
 wildcard ("*") character in its value.
 A new challenge type, "email-reply-00", is used with the "email"
 identifier type, which provides proof that an ACME client has control
 over an email address.
 The process of issuing an S/MIME certificate works as follows.  Note
 that the ACME client can be a standalone application (if the MUA is
 not ACME-email-aware) or can be a component of the MUA.
 1.   An end user initiates issuance of an S/MIME certificate for one
      of their email addresses.  This might be done by using an email
      client UI, by running a command-line tool, by visiting a
      certificate authority web page, etc.  This document doesn't
      prescribe a specific UI used to initiate S/MIME certificate
      issuance or where the ACME client is located.
 2.   The ACME-email-aware client component begins the certificate
      issuance process by sending a POST request to the server's
      newOrder resource, including the identifier of type "email".
      See Section 7.4 of [RFC8555] for more details.
 3.   The ACME server responds to the POST request, including an
      "authorizations" URL for the requested email address.  The ACME
      client then retrieves information about the corresponding
      "email-reply-00" challenge, as specified in Section 7.5 of
      [RFC8555].  The "token" field of the corresponding challenge
      object (from the "challenges" array) contains token-part2.
      token-part2 should contain at least 128 bits of entropy.  The
      "type" field of the challenge object is "email-reply-00".  The
      challenge object also contains the "from" field, with the email
      address that would be used in the From header field of the
      "challenge" email message (see the next step).
      An example challenge object might look like this:
        {
          "type": "email-reply-00",
          "url": "https://example.com/acme/chall/ABprV_B7yEyA4f",
          "from": "acme-challenge+2i211oi1204310@example.com",
          "token": "DGyRejmCefe7v4NfDGDKfA"
        }
 4.   After responding to the authorization request, the ACME server
      generates another token and a "challenge" email message with the
      subject "ACME: <token-part1>", where <token-part1> is the
      base64url-encoded [RFC4648] form of the token.  The ACME server
      MUST generate a fresh token for each S/MIME issuance request
      (authorization request), and token-part1 MUST contain at least
      128 bits of entropy.  The "challenge" email message structure is
      described in more details in Section 3.1.
 5.   The MUA retrieves and parses the "challenge" email message.  If
      the MUA is ACME-email-aware, it ignores any "challenge" email
      that is not expected, e.g., if there is no ACME certificate
      issuance pending.  The ACME-email-aware MUA also ignores any
      "challenge" email that has the Subject header field that
      indicates that it is an email reply, e.g., a subject starting
      with the reply prefix "Re:".
 6.   The ACME client concatenates "token-part1" (received over email)
      and "token-part2" (received over HTTPS [RFC2818]) to create the
      ACME "token" and calculates keyAuthorization (as per Section 8.1
      of [RFC8555]).  Then, it returns the base64url-encoded SHA-256
      digest [RFC6234] of the key authorization.  The MUA returns the
      base64url-encoded SHA-256 digest obtained from the ACME client
      in the body of a "response" email message.  The "response" email
      message structure is described in more details in Section 3.2.
      If the MUA is ACME-email-aware, it MUST NOT respond to the same
      "challenge" email more than once.
 7.   Once the MUA sends the "response" email, the ACME client
      notifies the ACME server by POST to the challenge URL ("url"
      field).
 8.   The ACME client can start polling the authorization URL (using
      POST-as-GET requests) to see if the ACME server received and
      validated the "response" email message.  (See Section 7.5.1 of
      [RFC8555] for more details.)  If the "status" field of the
      challenge switches to "valid", then the ACME client can proceed
      with request finalization.  The Certificate Signing Request
      (CSR) MUST indicate the exact same set of requested identifiers
      as the initial newOrder request.  For an identifier of type
      "email", the PKCS#10 [RFC2986] CSR MUST contain the requested
      email address in an extensionRequest attribute [RFC2985]
      requesting a subjectAltName extension.  The email address MUST
      also match the From header field value of the "response" email
      message.
 9.   In order to request generation of signing-only or encryption-
      only S/MIME certificates (as opposed to requesting generation of
      S/MIME certificates suitable for both), the CSR needs to include
      the key usage extension (see Section 4.4.2 of [RFC8550]).  This
      is described in more details in Section 3.3.
 10.  If a request to finalize an order is successful, the ACME server
      will return a 200 (OK) with an updated order object.  If the
      certificate is issued successfully, i.e., if the order "status"
      is "valid", then the ACME client can download the issued S/MIME
      certificate from the URL specified in the "certificate" field.

3.1. ACME "Challenge" Email

 A "challenge" email message MUST have the following structure:
 1.  The Subject header field has the following syntax: "ACME: <token-
     part1>", where the prefix "ACME:" is followed by folding white
     space (FWS; see [RFC5322]) and then by <token-part1>, which is
     the base64url-encoded first part of the ACME token that MUST be
     at least 128 bits long after decoding.  Due to the recommended
     78-octet line-length limit in [RFC5322], the subject line can be
     folded, so white spaces (if any) within the <token-part1> MUST be
     ignored.  [RFC2231] encoding of the Subject header field MUST be
     supported, and, when used, only the "UTF-8" and "US-ASCII"
     charsets are allowed; other charsets MUST NOT be used.  The US-
     ASCII charset SHOULD be used.
 2.  The From header field MUST be the same email address as specified
     in the "from" field of the challenge object.
 3.  The To header field MUST be the email address of the entity that
     requested the S/MIME certificate to be generated.
 4.  The message MAY contain a Reply-To and/or CC header field.
 5.  The message MUST include the Auto-Submitted header field with the
     value "auto-generated" [RFC3834].  To aid in debugging (and, for
     some implementations, to make automated processing easier), the
     Auto-Submitted header field SHOULD include the "type=acme"
     parameter.  It MAY include other optional parameters, as allowed
     by the syntax of the Auto-Submitted header field.
 6.  In order to prove authenticity of a challenge message, it MUST be
     signed using either DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) [RFC6376]
     or S/MIME [RFC8551].
  • If DKIM signing is used, the resulting DKIM-Signature header

field MUST contain the "h=" tag that includes at least the

        From, Sender, Reply-To, To, CC, Subject, Date, In-Reply-To,
        References, Message-ID, Auto-Submitted, Content-Type, and
        Content-Transfer-Encoding header fields.  The DKIM-Signature
        header field's "h=" tag SHOULD also include the Resent-Date,
        Resent-From, Resent-To, Resent-Cc, List-Id, List-Help, List-
        Unsubscribe, List-Subscribe, List-Post, List-Owner, List-
        Archive, and List-Unsubscribe-Post header fields.  The domain
        from the "d=" tag of the DKIM-Signature header field MUST be
        the same as the domain from the From header field of the
        "challenge" email.
  • If S/MIME signing is used, the certificate corresponding to

the signer MUST have an rfc822Name subjectAltName extension

        with the value equal to the From header field email address of
        the "challenge" email.
 7.  The body of the challenge message is not used for automated
     processing, so it can be any media type.  (However, there are
     extra requirements on S/MIME signing, if used.  See below.)
     Typically, it is text/plain or text/html containing a human-
     readable explanation of the purpose of the message.  If S/MIME
     signing is used to prove authenticity of the challenge message,
     then the multipart/signed or "application/pkcs7-mime; smime-
     type=signed-data;" media type should be used.  Either way, it
     MUST use S/MIME header protection.
 An email client compliant with this specification that detects that a
 particular "challenge" email fails the validation described above
 MUST ignore the challenge and thus will not generate a "response"
 email.  To aid in debugging, such failed validations SHOULD be
 logged.
 Here is an example of an ACME "challenge" email (note that, for
 simplicity, DKIM-related header fields are not included).

   This is an automatically generated ACME challenge for email address
   "alexey@example.com". If you haven't requested an S/MIME
   certificate generation for this email address, be very afraid.
   If you did request it, your email client might be able to process
   this request automatically, or you might have to paste the first
   token part into an external program.
                                Figure 1

3.2. ACME "Response" Email

 A valid "response" email message MUST have the following structure:
 1.  The Subject header field is formed as a reply to the ACME
     "challenge" email (see Section 3.1).  Its syntax is the same as
     that of the challenge message except that it may be prefixed by a
     US-ASCII reply prefix (typically "Re:") and FWS (see [RFC5322]),
     as is normal in reply messages.  When parsing the subject, ACME
     servers MUST decode [RFC2231] encoding (if any), and then they
     can ignore any prefix before the "ACME:" label.
 2.  The From header field contains the email address of the user that
     is requesting S/MIME certificate issuance.
 3.  The To header field of the response contains the value from the
     Reply-To header field from the challenge message (if set).
     Otherwise, it contains the value from the From header field of
     the challenge message.
 4.  The Cc header field is ignored if present in the "response" email
     message.
 5.  The In-Reply-To header field SHOULD be set to the Message-ID
     header field of the challenge message according to rules in
     Section 3.6.4 of [RFC5322].
 6.  List-* header fields [RFC4021][RFC8058] MUST be absent (i.e., the
     reply can't come from a mailing list).
 7.  The media type of the "response" email message is either text/
     plain or multipart/alternative [RFC2046], containing text/plain
     as one of the alternatives.  (Note that the requirement to
     support multipart/alternative is to allow use of ACME-unaware
     MUAs, which can't always generate pure text/plain, e.g., if they
     reply to a text/html).  The text/plain body part (whether or not
     it is inside multipart/alternative) MUST contain a block of lines
     starting with the line "-----BEGIN ACME RESPONSE-----", followed
     by one or more lines containing the base64url-encoded SHA-256
     digest [RFC6234] of the key authorization, calculated from
     concatenated token-part1 (received over email) and token-part2
     (received over HTTPS), as outlined in the 5th bullet in
     Section 3.  (Note that each line of text/plain is terminated by
     CRLF.  Bare LFs or bare CRs are not allowed.)  Due to historical
     line-length limitations in email, line endings (CRLFs) can be
     freely inserted in the middle of the encoded digest, so they MUST
     be ignored when processing it.  The final line of the encoded
     digest is followed by a line containing:
  1. —-END ACME RESPONSE—–
     Any text before and after this block is ignored.  For example,
     such text might explain what to do with it for ACME-unaware
     clients.
 8.  There is no need to use any Content-Transfer-Encoding other than
     7bit for the text/plain body part.  Use of quoted-printable or
     base64 in a "response" email message is not necessary and should
     be avoided, though it is permitted.
 9.  In order to prove authenticity of a response message, it MUST be
     DKIM [RFC6376] signed.  The resulting DKIM-Signature header field
     MUST contain the "h=" tag that includes at least the From,
     Sender, Reply-To, To, CC, Subject, Date, In-Reply-To, References,
     Message-ID, Content-Type, and Content-Transfer-Encoding header
     fields.  The DKIM-Signature header field's "h=" tag SHOULD also
     include the Resent-Date, Resent-From, Resent-To, Resent-Cc, List-
     Id, List-Help, List-Unsubscribe, List-Subscribe, List-Post, List-
     Owner, List-Archive, and List-Unsubscribe-Post header fields.
     The domain from the "d=" tag of DKIM-Signature header field MUST
     be the same as the domain from the From header field of the
     "response" email.
 Here is an example of an ACME "response" email (note that, for
 simplicity, DKIM-related header fields are not included).

3.3. Generating Encryption-Only or Signing-Only S/MIME Certificates

 ACME extensions specified in this document can be used to request
 signing-only or encryption-only S/MIME certificates.
 In order to request signing-only S/MIME certificates, the CSR MUST
 include the key usage extension with digitalSignature and/or
 nonRepudiation bits set and no other bits set.
 In order to request encryption-only S/MIME certificates, the CSR MUST
 include the key usage extension with keyEncipherment or keyAgreement
 bits set and no other bits set.
 Presence of both of the above sets of key usage bits in the CSR, as
 well as absence of the key usage extension in the CSR, signals to the
 ACME server to issue an S/MIME certificate suitable for both signing
 and encryption.

4. Internationalization Considerations

 [RFC8616] updated/clarified use of DKIM with internationalized email
 addresses [RFC6531].  Please consult [RFC8616] in regards to any
 changes that need to be implemented.
 Use of non-ASCII characters in left-hand sides of internationalized
 email addresses requires putting internationalized email addresses in
 X.509 certificates [RFC8398].

5. IANA Considerations

5.1. ACME Identifier Type

 IANA has registered a new identifier type in the "ACME Identifier
 Types" registry defined in Section 9.7.7 of [RFC8555] with Label
 "email" and a Reference to this document, [RFC5321], and [RFC6531].
 The new identifier type corresponds to an (all ASCII) email address
 [RFC5321] or internationalized email addresses [RFC6531].

5.2. ACME Challenge Type

 IANA has registered a new entry in the "ACME Validation Methods"
 registry defined in Section 9.7.8 of [RFC8555].  This entry is as
 follows:
        +================+=================+======+===========+
        |     Label      | Identifier Type | ACME | Reference |
        +================+=================+======+===========+
        | email-reply-00 |      email      |  Y   |  RFC 8823 |
        +----------------+-----------------+------+-----------+
                                Table 1

6. Security Considerations

 Please see the Security Considerations section of [RFC8555] for
 general security considerations related to the use of ACME.  This
 challenge/response protocol demonstrates that an entity that controls
 the private key (corresponding to the public key in the certificate)
 also controls the named email account.  The ACME server is confirming
 that the requested email address belongs to the entity that requested
 the certificate, but this makes no claim to address correctness or
 fitness for purpose.  If such claims are needed, they must be
 obtained by some other mechanism.
 The security of the "email-reply-00" challenge type depends on the
 security of the email system.  A third party that can read and reply
 to user's email messages (by possessing a user's password or a secret
 derived from it that can give read and reply access, such as
 "password equivalent" information, or by being given permissions to
 act on a user's behalf using email delegation features common in some
 email systems) can request S/MIME certificates using the protocol
 specified in this document and is indistinguishable from the email
 account owner.  This has several possible implications:
 1.  An entity that compromised an email account would be able to
     request S/MIME certificates using the protocol specified in this
     document, and such entity couldn't be distinguished from the
     legitimate email account owner (unless some external sources of
     information are consulted).
 2.  For email addresses with legitimate shared access/control by
     multiple users, any such user would be able to request S/MIME
     certificates using the protocol specified in this document; such
     requests can't be attributed to a specific user without
     consulting external systems (such as IMAP/SMTP access logs).
 3.  The protocol specified in this document is not suitable for use
     with email addresses associated with mailing lists [RFC5321].
     While it is not always possible to guarantee that a particular S/
     MIME certificate request is not from a mailing list address,
     prohibition on inclusion of List-* header fields helps
     certificate issuers to handle most common cases.
 An email system in its turn depends on DNS.  A third party that can
 manipulate DNS MX records for a domain might be able to redirect an
 email and can get (at least temporary) read and reply access to it.
 Similar considerations apply to DKIM TXT records in DNS.  Use of
 DNSSEC by email system administrators is recommended to avoid making
 it easy to spoof DNS records affecting an email system.  However, use
 of DNSSEC is not ubiquitous at the time of publishing of this
 document, so it is not required here.  Also, many existing systems
 that rely on verification of ownership of an email address -- for
 example, 2-factor authentication systems used by banks or traditional
 certificate issuance systems -- send email messages to email
 addresses, expecting the owner to click on the link supplied in them
 (or to reply to a message), without requiring use of DNSSEC.  So the
 risk of not requiring DNSSEC is presumed acceptable in this document.
 An ACME email challenge message can be forged by an attacker.  As per
 requirements on an ACME-email-aware MUA specified in Section 3, the
 MUA will not respond to requests it is not expecting.  Even if the
 attacker causes the erroneous "response" email to go to an attacker-
 controlled email address, very little information is leaked -- the
 SHA-256 hash of the key authorization would be leaked, not the key
 authorization itself, so no parts of the token or the account key
 thumbprint are leaked.
 An attacker that can read the "response" email has only one chance to
 guess the token-part2.  Even if the attacker can guess it right, it
 still needs to know the ACME account key to be able to make use of
 the intercepted SHA-256 hash of the key authorization.
 Also see the Security Considerations section of [RFC6376] for details
 on how DKIM depends on the DNS and the respective vulnerabilities
 this dependence has.
