Elektronski podpisi in infrastruktura (ESI) - Storitve priporočene elektronske pošte (REM) - 4. del: Profili medobratovalnosti

Ta dokument določa profile medobratovalnosti za sporočila storitve priporočene elektronske pošte (REM) v skladu s formati, opredeljenimi v standardu ETSI EN 319 532-3 [6], ter s koncepti in semantičnimi vsebinami, opredeljenimi v standardih ETSI EN 319 532-1 [4] in ETSI EN 319 532-2 [5]. Obravnava zadeve v zvezi s preverjanjem pristnosti, verodostojnostjo in celovitostjo informacij z namenom zagotavljanja medobratovalnosti med ponudniki storitev REM, ki se uvede v skladu z zgoraj navedenimi specifikacijami.
Ta dokument zajema vse možnosti profiliranja storitev REM za oba načina obratovanja: S in N ter S in F.
Obvezne zahteve, opredeljene v zgoraj navedenih referenčnih specifikacijah storitev REM, se na tem mestu običajno ne ponavljajo, vendar ta dokument po potrebi vsebuje nekaj sklicev nanje.
Ta dokument natančneje določa:
a) splošnosti o profiliranju;
b) omejitve za profil SMTP.

Introduction
Registered Electronic Mail (REM) is a particular instance of An Electronic Registered Delivery Service (ERDS).
Standard email, used as backbone, makes interoperability smooth and increases usability. At the same time, the
application of additional security mechanisms ensures integrity, confidentiality and non-repudiation (of submission,
consignment, handover, etc.), and protects against risk of loss, theft, damage and any illegitimate modification.
The present document aims to cover the common and worldwide-recognized requirements to address electronic
registered delivery in a secure and reliable way. Particular attention is paid to the Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 [i.1].
However, the legal effects are outside the scope of the present document.

1 Scope
The present document specifies the interoperability profiles of the Registered Electronic Mail (REM) messages
according to the formats defined in ETSI EN 319 532-3 [6] and the concepts and semantic defined in ETSI
EN 319 532-1 [4] and ETSI EN 319 532-2 [5]. It deals with issues relating authentication, authenticity and integrity of
the information, with the purpose to address the achievement of interoperability across REM service providers,
implemented according the aforementioned specifications.
The present document covers all the options to profile REM services for both styles of operation: S&N and S&F.
The mandatory requirements defined in the aforementioned referenced REM services specifications are not normally
repeated here but, when necessary, the present document contains some references to them.
More specifically, the present document:
a) Defines generalities on profiling.
b) Defines constraints for SMTP profile.

3.3 Terminology
Since Registered Electronic Email Services are specific types of Electronic Registered Delivery Services, the present
document uses the terms and definitions from ETSI EN 319 521 [i.12] and ETSI EN 319 522 [1], [2] and [3].
ETSI EN 319 532-2 [5 ], clause 4.1 specifies the usage of prefixes ERD versus REM or ERDS versus REMS for
naming concepts and/or structures.
The naming convention used in the present document is that constructs whose content is completely generated by the
REMS are prefixed with "ERDS" or "REMS", while constructs whose content includes user generated data is prefixed
with "ERD" or "REM".
4 General requirements
4.1 Introduction
The present document provides one profile as intended in ISO/IEC TR 10000 [i.2]: "the identification of chosen classes,
conforming subsets, options and parameters of base standards, or International Standardized Profiles necessary to
accomplish a particular function". In the present document the concept of profile embraces references like architectural,
protocol detail, semantic and implementation aspects, as well as technical standard and service interoperability aspects.
More specifically, the present document specifies a profile for REM service that use the same formats (S/MIME based)
and the same transport protocols (SMTP). This is rather an intra-operability profile acting, theoretically, on a pure and
homogeneous environment.
4.2 Compliance requirements
Requirements are grouped in three different categories, each one having its corresponding identifier. Table 1 defines
these categories and their identifiers.
Table 1: Requirements categories
Identifier Requirement to implement
M System shall implement the element
R System should implement the element
O System may implement the element

All the requirements shall be defined in tabular form.
Table 2: Requirements template
Nº Service/Protocol EN reference Requirement Implementation Notes
element guidance




Column Nº shall identify a unique number for the requirements. This number shall start from 1 in each clause. The
eventual references to it would also include the clause number to avoid any ambiguity.
Column Service/Protocol element shall identify the service element or protocol element the requirement applies to.
Column EN Reference shall reference the relevant clause of the standard where the element is defined. The reference is
to ETSI EN 319 522-1 [1], ETSI EN 319 522-2 [2], ETSI EN 319 532-1 [4] or ETSI EN 319 532-3 [6] except where
explicitly indicated otherwise.
Column Requirement shall contain an identifier, as defined in table 1.
ETSI

---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------
9 ETSI EN 319 532-4 V1.1.1 (2018-09)
Column Implementation guidance shall contain numbers referencing notes and/or letters referencing additional
requirements. It is intended either to explain how the requirement is implemented or to include any other information
not mandatory.
Column Notes shall contain additional notes to the requirement.
NOTE: Within a REMID, a provision different from the ones specified in the present document is viable if and
only if such REMID does not envisage to interoperate with other REMIDs.
5 SMTP interoperability profile
5.1 General requirements
This clause defines a profile for interoperability among REMSPs based on SMTP relay protocol and on the same
formats. Under this basis, although many aspects defined here are valid and reusable in other contexts, format and
protocols, all the sentences of the present part of the document mainly refer to interactions among REM services
providers using - as transfer protocol for REM messages - SMTP and its related updates, extensions and improvements
(e.g. ESMTP or SMTP-AUTH, etc.).
In particular the concepts defined in IETF RFC 5321 [7], clause 2.3.1 regarding envelope and content of the Mail
Objects, and the concepts defined in IETF RFC 5322 [8], clause 2.2 and IETF RFC 2045 [9] regarding the collection of
header fields, structure, formats and message representation shall apply.
5.2 Style of operation
From an interoperability standpoint, no impact is expected to occur because of the adopted style of operation by REMS
(Store-And-Forward vs. Store-And-Notify). Therefore, the present document shall deal with both on the same profile.
The reason for that lies in the fact that any REM message exchanged between two REMSPs (even REM messages that
contain a reference to the REM Object in a Store-And-Notify context) is conveyed using the Relay Interface that, within
the present interoperability profile, is based on the SMTP protocol. Henceforth protocols, message formats and
evidence formats are the same in the two cases.
Then, all the REMS operating under Store-And-Notify style of operation also need a REMS operating under Store-And-
Forward style of operation that represents a common layer between the two styles of operations.
Differences only arise in the set of mandatory evidence, which is specified within the two styles of operations, as
described in clause 5.5.

Implementation guidance:
a) The Message Submission Interface shall be implemented with a protocol that shall secure the communication
from the originating mail User Agent to the SMTP server. More specifically this protocol shall ensure proper
identification and authentication of the user, confidentiality of the communication, authenticity and integrity of
the submitted data. As an example, SMTP on TLS according to IETF RFC 7817 [i.13] or SSL plus check of
credential over SMTP-AUTH may be used.

communication from the sender/recipient mail User Agent to the REMSP server. More specifically this
protocol shall ensure proper identification and authentication of the user, confidentiality of the communication,
authenticity and integrity of the retrieved data. As an example, IMAP or POP or HTTP on TLS according to
IETF RFC 7817 [i.13] or SSL may be used.

NOTE: This is a profile for SMTP relay protocol among REMSPs and it is reflected in this requirement.

Implementation guidance:
a) The Relay Interface shall be implemented using SMTP protocol securing the communication from the sender
REMSP server to the recipient REMSP server using TLS according to IETF RFC 3207 [10].
NOTE: Particular attention has to be paid to measures preserving confidentiality, authenticity, integrity,
identification and authentication. TLS and the best practices recommended in Annex A give the necessary
provision to accomplish these requirements. Further IETF work about MTA-to-MTA (TLS everywhere)
dialogue is actually under a draft status and not added as reference in the present document. However, it
is a desirable practice in addition to opportunistic STARTTLS/DANE (see NIST Special Publication
800-177 [i.6] for more details).
5.3.5 CSI: Common Service Interface
The services used throughout this interface are not necessarily provided by a REMS (see note) and, for the purpose of
the present profile, the following three main elements shall be considered:
1) Routing
2) Trusting
3) Capability discovery
NOTE 1: For this reason, the prefix REM is omitted before the definition of the interface.
ETSI EN 319 532-2 [5], clause 9 shall identify the semantic requirements that apply to CSI.

5 Draft ETSI EN 319 532-4 V1.0.0 (2018-05)
Introduction
Registered Electronic Mail (REM) is a particular instance of An "Electronic Registered Delivery Service (ERDS).
Standard email, used as backbone, makes interoperability smooth and increases usability. At the same time, the
application of additional security mechanisms ensures integrity, confidentiality and non-repudiation (of submission,
consignment, handover, etc.), and protects against risk of loss, theft, damage and any illegitimate modification.
The present document aims to cover the common and worldwide-recognized requirements to address electronic
registered delivery in a secure and reliable way. Particular attention is paid to the Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 [i.1].
However, the legal effects are outside the scope of the present document.

ETSI

---------------------- Page: 5 ----------------------
6 Draft ETSI EN 319 532-4 V1.0.0 (2018-05)
1 Scope
The present document specifies the interoperability profiles of the Registered Electronic Mail (REM) messages
according to the formats defined in ETSI EN 319 532-3 [6] and the concepts and semantic defined in ETSI
EN 319 532-1 [4] and ETSI EN 319 532-2 [5]. It deals with issues relating authentication, authenticity and integrity of
the information, with the purpose to address the achievement of interoperability across REM service providers,
implemented according the aforementioned specifications.
The present document covers all the options to profile REM services for both styles of operation: S&N and S&F.
The mandatory requirements defined in the aforementioned referenced REM services specifications are not normally
repeated here but, when necessary, the present document contains some references to them.
More specifically, the present document:
a) Defines generalities on profiling.
b) Defines constraints for SMTP profile.

3.3 Terminology
Since Registered Electronic Email Services are specific types of Electronic Registered Delivery Services, the present
document uses the terms and definitions from ETSI EN 319 521 [i.12] and ETSI EN 319 522 [1], [2] and [3].
ETSI EN 319 532-2 [5 ], clause 4.1 specifies the usage of prefixes ERD versus REM or ERDS versus REMS for
naming concepts and/or structures.
The naming convention used in the present document is that constructs whose content is completely generated by the
REMS are prefixed with "ERDS" or "REMS", while constructs whose content includes user generated data is prefixed
with "ERD" or "REM".
4 General requirements
4.1 Introduction
The present document provides one profile as intended in ISO/IEC TR 10000 [i.2]: "the identification of chosen classes,
conforming subsets, options and parameters of base standards, or International Standardized Profiles necessary to
accomplish a particular function". In the present document the concept of profile embraces references like architectural,
protocol detail, semantic and implementation aspects, as well as technical standard and service interoperability aspects.
More specifically, the present document specifies a profile for REM service that use the same formats (S/MIME based)
and the same transport protocols (SMTP). This is rather an intra-operability profile acting, theoretically, on a pure and
homogeneous environment.
4.2 Compliance requirements
Requirements are grouped in three different categories, each one having its corresponding identifier. Table 1 defines
these categories and their identifiers.
Table 1: Requirements categories
Identifier Requirement to implement
M System shall implement the element
R System should implement the element
O System may implement the element

All the requirements shall be defined in tabular form.

Column Nº shall identify a unique number for the requirements. This number shall start from 1 in each clause. The
eventual references to it would also include the clause number to avoid any ambiguity.
Column Service/Protocol element shall identify the service element or protocol element the requirement applies to.
Column EN Reference shall reference the relevant clause of the standard where the element is defined. The reference is
to ETSI EN 319 522-1 [1], ETSI EN 319 522-2 [2], ETSI EN 319 532-1 [4] or ETSI EN 319 532-3 [6] except where
explicitly indicated otherwise.
Column Requirement shall contain an identifier, as defined in table 1.

Column Implementation guidance shall contain numbers referencing notes and/or letters referencing additional
requirements. It is intended either to explain how the requirement is implemented or to include any other information
not mandatory.
Column Notes shall contain additional notes to the requirement.
NOTE: Within a REMID, a provision different from the ones specified in the present document is viable if and
only if such REMID does not envisage to interoperate with other REMIDs.
5 SMTP interoperability profile
5.1 General requirements
This clause defines a profile for interoperability among REMSPs based on SMTP relay protocol and on the same
formats. Under this basis, although many aspects defined here are valid and reusable in other contexts, format and
protocols, all the sentences of the present part of the document mainly refer to interactions among REM services
providers using - as transfer protocol for REM messages - SMTP and its related updates, extensions and improvements
(e.g. ESMTP or SMTP-AUTH, etc.).
In particular the concepts defined in IETF RFC 5321 [7], clause 2.3.1 regarding envelope and content of the Mail
Objects, and the concepts defined in IETF RFC 5322 [8], clause 2.2 and IETF RFC 2045 [9] regarding the collection of
header fields, structure, formats and message representation shall apply.
5.2 Style of operation
From an interoperability standpoint, no impact is expected to occur because of the adopted style of operation by REMS
(Store-And-Forward vs. Store-And-Notify). Therefore, the present document shall deal with both on the same profile.
The reason for that lies in the fact that any REM message exchanged between two REMSPs (even REM messages that
contain a reference to the REM Object in a Store-And-Notify context) is conveyed using the Relay Interface that, within
the present interoperability profile, is based on the SMTP protocol. Henceforth protocols, message formats and
evidence formats are the same in the two cases.
Then, all the REMS operating under Store-And-Notify style of operation also need a REMS operating under Store-And-
Forward style of operation that represents a common layer between the two styles of operations.
Differences only arise in the set of mandatory evidence, which is specified within the two styles of operations, as
described in clause 5.5.
5.3 REMS - interfaces constraints

communication from the sender/recipient mail User Agent to the REMSP server. More specifically this
protocol shall ensure proper identification and authentication of the user, confidentiality of the communication,
authenticity and integrity of the retrieved data. As an example, IMAP or POP or HTTP on TLS according to
IETF RFC 7817 [i.13] or SSL may be used.

Implementation guidance:
a) The Relay Interface shall be implemented using SMTP protocol securing the communication from the sender
REMSP server to the recipient REMSP server using TLS according to IETF RFC 3207 [10].
NOTE: Particular attention has to be paid to measures preserving confidentiality, authenticity, integrity,
identification and authentication. TLS and the best practices recommended in Annex A give the necessary
provision to accomplish these requirements. Further IETF work about MTA-to-MTA (TLS everywhere)
dialogue is actually under a draft status and not added as reference in the present document. However, it
is a desirable practice in addition to opportunistic STARTTLS/DANE (see NIST Special Publication
800-177 [i.6] for more details).
5.3.5 CSI: Common Service Interface
The services used throughout this interface are not necessarily provided by a REMS (see note) and, for the purpose of
the present profile, the following three main elements shall be considered:
1) Routing
2) Trusting
3) Capability discovery
NOTE 1: For this reason, the prefix REM is omitted before the definition of the interface.
ETSI EN 319 532-2 [5], clause 9 shall identify the semantic requirements that apply to CSI.

Implementation guidance:
a) Its value shall be one of the 4 strings defined in table 2 of ETSI EN 319 532-3 [6], clause 6.1, related to the
MD13 component.
b) Its value shall be the G03 component, as defined in table 2 of ETSI EN 319 532-3 [6], clause 6.1. It shall be
composed by the URI in column 1, table 3 of ETSI EN 319 522-3 [3], clause 5.2.2.5.
c) Its value shall be the G01 component corresponding to the evidence identifier "Id" defined inside the Evidence
root element structure in ETSI EN 319 522-3 [3], clause 5.2.2.3.
d) Its value shall be the G04 component corresponding to a URI defined in table 4 of ETSI EN 319 522-3 [3],
clause 5.2.2.7. EventReasons is a multivalue element. This property reflects in REM message with a list of
REM-ReasonIdentifier header fields, each with the corresponding URI value.
NOTE: Item Nº 4 in table 7 facilitates achieving of interoperability that, however, can also be reached without it.
