Generate certificate with cRLDistributionPoints extension using OpenSSL

在 X509 证书中，cRLDistributionPoints 扩展提供了一种机制，使证书验证器可以检索 CRL（证书吊销列表），该列表可用于验证给定的证书是否已被吊销。

一个 cRLDistributionPoints 扩展可以包含一个或多个 DistributionPoints，可以从中检索 CRL。每个 DistributionPoint 由三个字段组成，每个字段都是可选的：

• distributionPoint：它包含一个通用名称的 SEQUENCE 或一个单一值。一个 distributionPoint 可以包含一个或多个通用名称，这些名称显示 CRL 的存储位置
• reasons：
• cRLIssuer：它标识签署和颁发 CRL 的实体

在这篇文章中，我们将只介绍仅设置 distributionPoint 的情况。这里使用 OpenSSL 来演示如何生成带有 cRLDistributionPoints 扩展的证书。但在此之前，我们首先需要生成普通的密钥和证书，以便稍后使用。

#创建私钥
openssl genrsa -des3 -out ca.key 2048

#为私钥创建证书签名请求
openssl req -new -key ca.key -out ca.csr

#生成自签名证书
openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in ca.csr -signkey ca.key -out ca.crt -extensions v3_req

#创建叶子私钥
openssl genrsa -des3 -out leaf.key 2048

#为私钥创建证书签名请求
openssl req -new -key leaf.key -out leaf.csr

这里 ca.key 和 ca.crt 将用于签署 leaf.csr。leaf.csr 是证书签名请求。

多个 distributionPoints

首先，让我们展示如何在 cRLDistributionPoints 扩展中生成具有多个 distributionPoints 的证书。我们需要创建一个扩展配置文件，其中包含我们要设置的 distributionPoints。例如：

crlDistributionPoints=@crl_section

[crl_section]
URI.1 = ldap://www.example.com/ldap?DN=TEST
URI.2 = http://www.example.com/crl/test.crl

接下来将其另存为 ext.cnf 并运行以下命令：

#使用 ca.crt 签署 leaf.csr
openssl x509 -req -in leaf.csr -out leaf.crt -days 365 -CAcreateserial -CA ca.crt -CAkey ca.key -CAserial serial -extfile ext.cnf

之后，应该会创建一个名为 leaf.crt 的文件。现在我们打印 leaf.crt 的内容：

openssl x509 -text -noout -in leaf.crt

输出将如下所示：

请注意，您将在证书中看到以下内容：

X509v3 extensions:
X509v3 CRL Distribution Points:
Full Name:
    URI:ldap://www.example.com/ldap?DN=TEST
Full Name:
    URI:http://www.example.com/crl/test.crl

这表明有两个 distributionPoints。

一个具有多个通用名称的 distributionPoint

接下来，我们将展示如何生成具有一个 distributionPoint 但具有多个通用名称的证书。同样，需要一个扩展配置文件。

crlDistributionPoints=crl_section

[crl_section]
fullname = @url_section

[url_section]
URI.1=ldap://www.example.com/ldap?DN=TEST
URI.2=http://www.example.com/crl/test.crl

将其另存为 ext.cnf 并运行与上面相同的命令。

#使用 ca.crt 签署 leaf.csr
openssl x509 -req -in leaf.csr -out leaf.crt -days 365 -CAcreateserial -CA ca.crt -CAkey ca.key -CAserial serial -extfile ext.cnf

现在显示 leaf.crt 的内容

这次您将看到 cRLDistributionPoints 扩展：

X509v3 extensions:
X509v3 CRL Distribution Points:
Full Name:
    URI:ldap://www.example.com/ldap?DN=TEST
    URI:http://www.example.com/crl/test.crl

这表明只有一个 distributionPoint，但有两个通用名称指向同一个 CRL 资源。

此外，您可以结合上述两个步骤来创建具有多个 distributionPoints 和多个通用名称的证书。

将来，我们将介绍如何在 CRLDistributionPoints 扩展中设置 reasons 和 cRLIssuer 来生成证书。
