Abstract
SECSH defines an authentication mechanism that is based on public
keys, but does not define any mechanism for key distribution. No
common key management solution exists in current implementations.
This document describes a protocol that can be used to configure
public keys in an implementation-independent fashion, allowing client

software to take on the burden of this configuration.
This protocol is intended to be used from the Secure Shell Connection
Protocol [4] as a subsystem, as described in the Section "Starting a
Shell or a Command". The subsystem name used with this protocol is
"publickey".
The public-key subsystem provides a server-independent mechanism for
clients to add public keys, remove public keys, and list the current
public keys known by the server. Rights to manage public keys are
specific and limited to the authenticated user.
A public key may also be associated with various restrictions,
including a mandatory command or subsystem.

Internet-Draft Secure Shell Public-Key Subsystem September 2005
1. Introduction
SECSH is a protocol for secure remote login and other secure network
services over an insecure network. SECSH defines an authentication
mechanism that is based on public keys, but does not define any
mechanism for key distribution. Common practice is to authenticate
once with password authentication and transfer the public key to the
server. However, to date no two implementations use the same
mechanism to configure a public key for use.
This document describes a subsystem that can be used to configure
public keys in an implementation-independent fashion. This approach
allows client software to take on the burden of this configuration.
The public-key subsystem protocol is designed for extreme simplicity
in implementation. It is not intended as a PKIX replacement.
The Secure Shell Public-Key subsystem has been designed to run on top
of the SECSH transport layer [2] and user authentication protocols
[3]. It provides a simple mechanism for the client to manage public
keys on the server.
This document should be read only after reading the SECSH
architecture [1] and SECSH connection [4] documents.
This protocol requires that the user be able to authenticate in some
fashion before it can be used. If password authentication is used,
servers SHOULD provide a configuration option to disable the use of
password authentication after the first public key is added.

Internet-Draft Secure Shell Public-Key Subsystem September 2005
2. Public-Key Subsystem Overview
The public-key subsystem provides a server-independent mechanism for
clients to add public keys, remove public keys, and list the current
public keys known by the server. The subsystem name is "publickey".
The public keys added, removed, and listed using this protocol are
specific and limited to those of the authenticated user.
The operations to add, remove and list the authenticated user's
public keys are performed as request packets sent to the server. The
server sends response packets that indicate success or failure as
well as provide specific response data.
The format of public-key blobs are detailed in the SSH Transport
Protocol document [2].
2.1. Opening the Public-Key Subsystem
The public-key subsystem is started by a client sending an
SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_REQUEST over an existing session's channel.
The details of how a session is opened are described in the SSH
Connection Protocol document [4] in the section "Opening a Session".
To open the public-key subsystem, the client sends:
byte SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_REQUEST
uint32 recipient channel
string "subsystem"
boolean want reply
string "publickey"
Client implementations SHOULD reject this request; it is normally
sent only by the client.
If want reply is TRUE, the server MUST respond with
SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_SUCCESS if the public-key subsystem was successfully
started or SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_FAILURE if the server failed to start or
does not support the public-key subsystem.
The server SHOULD respond with SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_FAILURE if the user is
not allowed access to the publickey subsystem (for example because
the user authenticated with a restricted public key).
It is RECOMMENDED that clients request and check the reply for this
request.
Galbraith, et al. Expires March 17, 2006 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft Secure Shell Public-Key Subsystem September 2005
2.2. Requests and Responses
All public-key subsystem requests and responses are sent in the
following form:
uint32 length
string name
... request/response specific data follows
The length field describes the length of the name field and the
request/response-specific data, but does not include the length of
the length field itself. The client MUST receive acknowledgement of
each request prior to sending a new request.
The version packet, as well as all requests and responses described
in Section 3, are a description of the 'name' field and the data part
of the packet.
2.3. The Status Message
A request is acknowledged by sending a status packet. If there is
data in response to the request, the status packet is sent after all
data has been sent.
string "status"
uint32 status code
string description [RFC-2279]
string language tag [RFC-1766]
A status message MUST be sent for any unrecognized packets and the
request SHOULD NOT close the subsystem.
2.3.1. Status Codes
The status code gives the status in a more machine-readable format
(suitable for localization), and can have the following values:
SSH_PUBLICKEY_SUCCESS 0
SSH_PUBLICKEY_ACCESS_DENIED 1
SSH_PUBLICKEY_STORAGE_EXCEEDED 2
SSH_PUBLICKEY_VERSION_NOT_SUPPORTED 3
SSH_PUBLICKEY_KEY_NOT_FOUND 4
SSH_PUBLICKEY_KEY_NOT_SUPPORTED 5
SSH_PUBLICKEY_KEY_ALREADY_PRESENT 6
SSH_PUBLICKEY_GENERAL_FAILURE 7
SSH_PUBLICKEY_REQUEST_NOT_SUPPORTED 8
SSH_PUBLICKEY_ATTRIBUTE_NOT_SUPPORTED 9
Galbraith, et al. Expires March 17, 2006 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft Secure Shell Public-Key Subsystem September 2005
If a request completed successfully, the server MUST send the status
code SSH_PUBLICKEY_SUCCESS. The meaning of the failure codes is as
implied by their names.
2.4. The Version Packet
Both sides MUST start by sending a version packet that indicates the
version of the protocol they are using.
string "version"
uint32 protocol-version-number
The version of the protocol described by this document is version 2.
Both sides send the highest version that they implement. The lower
of the version numbers is the version of the protocol to use. If
either side can't support the lower version, it should close the
subsystem and notify the other side by sending an
SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_CLOSE message. Before closing the subsystem, a
status message with the status SSH_PUBLICKEY_VERSION_NOT_SUPPORTED
SHOULD be sent. Note that normally, status messages are only sent by
the server (in response to requests from the client). This is the
only occasion on which the client sends a status message.
Both sides MUST wait to receive this version before continuing. The
"version" packet MUST NOT be sent again after this initial exchange.
The SSH_PUBLICKEY_VERSION_NOT_SUPPORTED status code must not be sent
in response to any other request.

Internet-Draft Secure Shell Public-Key Subsystem September 2005
3. Public-Key Subsystem Operations
The public-key subsystem currently defines four operations: add,
remove, list, and listattributes.
3.1. Adding a public key
If the client wishes to add a public key, the client sends:
string "add"
string public-key algorithm name
string public-key blob
boolean overwrite
uint32 attribute-count
string attrib-name
string attrib-value
bool mandatory
repeated attribute-count times
The server MUST attempt to store the public key for the user in the
appropriate location so the public key can be used for subsequent
public-key authentications. If the overwrite field is false and the
specified key already exists, the server MUST return
SSH_PUBLICKEY_KEY_ALREADY_PRESENT. If the server returns this, the
client SHOULD provide an option to the user to overwrite the key. If
the overwrite field is true and the specified key already exists but
cannot be overwritten, the server MUST return
SSH_PUBLICKEY_ACCESS_DENIED.
Attribute names are defined following the same scheme laid out for
algorithm names in [1]. If the server does not implement a mandatory
attribute, it MUST fail the add, with the status code
SSH_PUBLICKEY_ATTRIBUTE_NOT_SUPPORTED. For the purposes of a
mandatory attribute, mere storage of the attribute is not sufficient
-- rather, the server must understand and implement the intent of the
attribute.
The following attributes are currently defined:
"comment"
The value of the comment attribute contains user-specified text about
the public key. The server SHOULD make every effort to preserve this
value and return it with the key during any subsequent list
operation. The server MUST NOT attempt to interpret or act upon the
content of the comment field in any way. The comment attribute must
be specified in UTF-8 format [6].
Galbraith, et al. Expires March 17, 2006 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft Secure Shell Public-Key Subsystem September 2005
The comment field is useful so the user can identify the key without
resorting to comparing its fingerprint. This attribute SHOULD NOT be
mandatory.
"comment-language"
If this attribute is specified, it MUST immediately follow a
"comment" attribute and specifies the language for that attribute
[5]. The client MAY specify more than one comment if it additionally
specifies a different language for each of those comments. The
server SHOULD attempt to store each comment, together with that
comment's lanuage attribute. This attribute SHOULD NOT be mandatory.
"command-override"
"command-override" specifies a command to be executed when this key
is in use. The command should be executed by the server when it
receives an "exec" or "shell" request from the client, in place of
the command or shell which would otherwise have been executed as a
result of that request. If the command string is empty, both "exec"
and "shell" requests should be denied. If no "command-override"
attribute is specified, all "exec" and "shell" requests should be
permitted (as long as they satisfy other security or authorisation
checks the server may perform). This attribute SHOULD be mandatory.
"subsystem"
"subsystem" specifies a comma-separated list of subsystems that may
be started (using a "subsystem" request) when this key is in use.
This attribute SHOULD be mandatory. If the value is empty, no
subsystems may be started. If the "subsystem" attribute is not
specified, no restrictions are placed on which subsystems may be
started when authenticated using this key.
"x11"
"x11" specifies that X11 forwarding may not be performed when this
key is in use. The attribute-value field SHOULD be empty for this
attribute. This attribute SHOULD be mandatory.
"shell"
"shell" specifies that session channel "shell" requests should be
denied when this key is in use. The attribute-value field SHOULD be
empty for this attribute. This attribute SHOULD be mandatory.
"exec"
Galbraith, et al. Expires March 17, 2006 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft Secure Shell Public-Key Subsystem September 2005
"exec" specifies that session channel "exec" requests should be
denied when this key is in use. The attribute-value field SHOULD be
empty for this attribute. This attribute SHOULD be mandatory.
"agent"
"agent" specifies that session channel "auth-agent-req" requests
should be denied when this key is in use. The attribute-value field
SHOULD be empty for this attribute. This attribute SHOULD be
mandatory.
"env"
"env" specifies that session channel "env" requests should be denied
when this key is in use. The attribute-value field SHOULD be empty
for this attribute. This attribute SHOULD be mandatory.
"from"
"from" specifies a comma-separated list of hosts from which the key
may be used. If a host not in this list attempts to use this key for
authorisation purposes, the authorisation attempt MUST be denied.
The server SHOULD make a log entry regarding this. The server MAY
provide a method for administrators to disallow the appearance of a
host in this list.
"port-forward"
"port-forward" specifies that no "direct-tcpip" requests should be
accepted, except to those hosts specified in the comma-separated list
supplied as a value to this attribute. If the value of this
attribute is empty, all "direct-tcpip" requests should be refused
when using this key. This attribute SHOULD be mandatory.
"reverse-forward"
"reverse-forward" specifies that no "tcpip-forward" requests should
be accepted, accept for the port numbers in the comma-separated list
supplied as a value to this attribute. If the value of this
attribute is empty, all "tcpip-forward" requests should be refused
when using this key. This attribute SHOULD be mandatory.
In addition to the attributes specified by the client, the server MAY
provide a method for administrators to compulsorily enforce certain
attributes.
Galbraith, et al. Expires March 17, 2006 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft Secure Shell Public-Key Subsystem September 2005
3.2. Removing a public key
If the client wishes to remove a public key, the client sends:
string "remove"
string public-key algorithm name
string public-key blob
The server MUST attempt to remove the public key for the user from
the appropriate location, so that the public key cannot be used for
subsequent authentications.
3.3. Listing public keys
If the client wishes to list the known public keys, the client sends:
string "list"
The server will respond with zero or more of the following responses:
string "publickey"
string public-key algorithm name
string public-key blob
uint32 attribute-count
string attrib-name
string attrib-value
repeated attribute-count times
Following the last "publickey" response, a status packet MUST be
sent.
An implementation MAY choose not to support this request.
3.4. Listing server capabilities
If the client wishes to know which key attributes the server
supports, it sends:
string "listattributes"
The server will respond with zero or more of the following responses:
string "attribute"
string attribute name
boolean compulsory
The "compulsory" field indicates whether this attribute will be
compulsorily applied to any added keys (irrespective of whether the
Galbraith, et al. Expires March 17, 2006 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft Secure Shell Public-Key Subsystem September 2005
attribute has been specified by the client) due to administrative
settings on the server. If the server does not support
administrative settings of this nature, it MUST return false in the
compulsory field. An example of use of the "compulsory" attribute
would be a server with a configuration file specifying that the user
is not permitted shell access. Given this, the server would return
the "shell" attribute, with "compulsory" marked true. Whatever
attributes the user subsequently asked the server to apply to their
key, the server would also apply the "shell" attribute, rendering it
impossible for the user to use a shell.
Following the last "attribute" response, a status packet MUST be
sent.
An implementation MAY choose not to support this request.

4. Security Considerations
This protocol assumes that it is run over a secure channel and that
the endpoints of the channel have been authenticated. Thus, this
protocol assumes that it is externally protected from network-level
attacks.
This protocol provides a mechanism that allows client authentication
data to be uploaded and manipulated. It is the responsibility of the
server implementation to enforce any access controls that may be
required to limit the access allowed for any particular user (the
user being authenticated externally to this protocol, typically using
the SSH User Authentication Protocol [3]). In particular, it is
possible for users to overwrite an existing key on the server with
this protocol, whilst at the same time specifying fewer restrictions
for the new key than were previously present. Servers should take
care that when doing this, clients are not able to override presets
from the server's administrator.
This protocol requires the client to assume that the server will
correctly implement and observe attributes applied to keys.
Implementation errors in the server could cause clients to authorise
keys for access they were not intended to have, or to apply fewer
restrictions than were intended.

5. IANA Considerations
This section contains conventions used in naming the namespaces, the
initial state of the registry, and instructions for future
assignments.
5.1. Registrations
Consistent with section 7 of [1], this document makes the following
registration:
The subsystem name "publickey".
5.2. Names
In the following sections, the values for the name spaces are
textual. The conventions and instructions to the IANA for future
assignments are given in this section. The initial assignments are
given in their respective sections.
5.2.1. Conventions for Names
All names registered by the IANA in the following sections MUST be
printable US-ASCII strings, and MUST NOT contain the characters at-
sign ("@"), comma (","), or whitespace or control characters (ASCII
codes 32 or less). Names are case-sensitive, and MUST NOT be longer
than 64 characters.
A provision is made here for locally extensible names. The IANA will
not register, and will not control names with the at-sign in them.
Names with the at-sign in them will have the format of
"name@domainname" (without the double quotes) where the part
preceeding the at-sign is the name. The format of the part preceding
the at-sign is not specified, however these names MUST be printable
US-ASCII strings, and MUST NOT contain the comma character (","), or
whitespace, or control characters (ASCII codes 32 or less). The part
following the at-sign MUST be a valid, fully qualified internet
domain name [8] controlled by the person or organization defining the
name. Names are case-sensitive, and MUST NOT be longer than 64
characters. It is up to each domain how it manages its local
namespace. It has been noted that these names resemble STD 11 [7]
email addresses. This is purely coincidental and actually has
nothing to do with STD 11 [7]. An example of a locally defined name
is "ourcipher-cbc%example.com@localhost" (without the double quotes).
5.2.2. Future Assignments of Names
Requests for assignments of new Names MUST be done through the IETF
Galbraith, et al. Expires March 17, 2006 [Page 13]
Internet-Draft Secure Shell Public-Key Subsystem September 2005
CONSENSUS method as described in [9].
5.3. Request names

5.6. Status codes
The status code is a byte value, describing the status of a request.
5.6.1. Conventions
Status responses have status codes in the range 0 to 255. These
numbers are allocated as follows. Of these, the range 192 to 255 is
reserved for use by local, private extensions.
5.6.2. Initial Assignments
The following table identifies the initial assignments of the status
code values.
Status code Value Reference
------------ ----- ---------
SSH_PUBLICKEY_SUCCESS 0
SSH_PUBLICKEY_ACCESS_DENIED 1
SSH_PUBLICKEY_STORAGE_EXCEEDED 2
SSH_PUBLICKEY_VERSION_NOT_SUPPORTED 3
SSH_PUBLICKEY_KEY_NOT_FOUND 4
SSH_PUBLICKEY_KEY_NOT_SUPPORTED 5
SSH_PUBLICKEY_KEY_ALREADY_PRESENT 6
SSH_PUBLICKEY_GENERAL_FAILURE 7
SSH_PUBLICKEY_REQUEST_NOT_SUPPORTED 8
SSH_PUBLICKEY_ATTRIBUTE_NOT_SUPPORTED 9
5.6.3. Future Assignments
Requests for assignments of new message numbers in the range of 0 to
191 MUST be done through the STANDARDS ACTION method as described in
[9].
The IANA will not control the message numbers range of 192 through
255. This range will be left for PRIVATE USE.
