Smart Tachograph - Certificate signing requests, key distribution requests and key distribution messages sample set
The second generation Digital Tachograph system, called Smart Tachograph, has been introduced by Regulation (EU) No 165/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council. Annex 1C of the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/799 [2] lays down the technical requirements for the construction, testing, installation, operation and repair of Smart Tachographs and their components. In particular Appendix 11 (Common Security Mechanisms) of Annex 1C specifies the security mechanisms of the Smart Tachograph, which are based on public-key and symmetric key cryptographic systems.
A Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) has been designed to support the public-key cryptographic systems, while the symmetric cryptographic systems rely on master keys that have to be delivered to the relevant actors. In particular an infrastructure consisting of three layers has been set up. At the European level, the European Root Certification Authority (ERCA) is responsible for the generation and management of root public-private key pairs, with the respective certificates, and symmetric master keys. The ERCA issues certificates to Member State Certification Authorities (MSCAs) and distributes symmetric master keys to the MSCAs.
The format of messages used to request and to distribute certificates and keys between the MSCAs and the ERCA, namely certificate signing requests (CSRs), key distribution requests (KDRs) and key distribution messages (KDMs), is specified in the ERCA Policy. The present document describes a sample set of CSRs, KDRs and KDMs that can be used by the Smart Tachograph stakeholders as reference material for the implementation of their systems.
