The SSH agent protocol is described in
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-miller-ssh-agent
This file documents OpenSSH's extensions to the agent protocol.
1. [email protected] extension
This extension allows a ssh client to bind an agent connection to a
particular SSH session identifier as derived from the initial key
exchange (as per RFC4253 section 7.2) and the host key used for that
exchange. This binding is verifiable at the agent by including the
initial KEX signature made by the host key.
The message format is:
byte SSH_AGENTC_EXTENSION (0x1b)
string [email protected]
string hostkey
string session identifier
string signature
bool is_forwarding
Where 'hostkey' is the encoded server host public key, 'session
identifier' is the exchange hash derived from the initial key
exchange, 'signature' is the server's signature of the session
identifier using the private hostkey, as sent in the final
SSH2_MSG_KEXDH_REPLY/SSH2_MSG_KEXECDH_REPLY message of the initial key
exchange. 'is_forwarding' is a flag indicating whether this connection
should be bound for user authentication or forwarding.
When an agent received this message, it will verify the signature and
check the consistency of its contents, including refusing to accept
a duplicate session identifier, or any attempt to bind a connection
previously bound for authentication. It will then record the
binding for the life of the connection for use later in testing per-key
destination constraints.
2. [email protected] key constraint extension
The key constraint extension supports destination- and forwarding path-
restricted keys. It may be attached as a constraint when keys or
smartcard keys are added to an agent.
byte SSH_AGENT_CONSTRAIN_EXTENSION (0xff)
string [email protected]
constraint[] constraints
Where a constraint consists of:
string from_username (must be empty)
string from_hostname
keyspec[] from_hostkeys
string to_username
string to_hostname
keyspec[] to_hostkeys
And a keyspec consists of:
string keyblob
bool is_ca
When receiving this message, the agent will ensure that the
'from_username' field is empty, and that 'to_hostname' and 'to_hostkeys'
have been supplied (empty 'from_hostname' and 'from_hostkeys' are valid
and signify the initial hop from the host running ssh-agent). The agent
will then record the constraint against the key.
Subsequent operations on this key including add/remove/request
identities and, in particular, signature requests will check the key
constraints against the [email protected] bindings recorded for
the agent connection over which they were received.
3. SSH_AGENT_CONSTRAIN_MAXSIGN key constraint
This key constraint allows communication to an agent of the maximum
number of signatures that may be made with an XMSS key. The format of
the constraint is:
byte SSH_AGENT_CONSTRAIN_MAXSIGN (0x03)
uint32 max_signatures
This option is only valid for XMSS keys.
3. [email protected] key constraint extension
The key constraint extension allows certificates to be associated
with private keys as they are loaded from a PKCS#11 token.
byte SSH_AGENT_CONSTRAIN_EXTENSION (0xff)
string [email protected]
bool certs_only
string certsblob
Where "certsblob" consists of one or more certificates encoded as public
key blobs:
string[] certificates
This extension is only valid for SSH_AGENTC_ADD_SMARTCARD_KEY_CONSTRAINED
requests. When an agent receives this extension, it will attempt to match
each certificate in the request with a corresponding private key loaded
from the requested PKCS#11 token. When a matching key is found, the
agent will graft the certificate contents to the token-hosted private key
and store the result for subsequent use by regular agent operations.
If the "certs_only" flag is set, then this extension will cause ONLY
the resultant certificates to be loaded to the agent. The default
behaviour is to load the PKCS#11-hosted private key as well as the
resultant certificate.
A SSH_AGENTC_ADD_SMARTCARD_KEY_CONSTRAINED will return SSH_AGENT_SUCCESS
if any key (plain private or certificate) was successfully loaded, or
SSH_AGENT_FAILURE if no key was loaded.
