WHO SMART Trust, published by WHO. This guide is not an authorized publication; it is the continuous build for version 1.1.5 built by the FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) CI Build. This version is based on the current content of https://github.com/costateixeira/smart-trust/ and changes regularly. See the Directory of published versions
This repository contains the template for building onboarding information for the Smart Trust Network Attendees. This includes CSCAs, Auth information, signing information and other relevant files for onboarding a participant. Videos guides to the steps described here are available on this page.
Onboarding Process
Create a private git repository on github. One for each Environment (DEV, UAT, PROD)
Please check Create private repository video for reference
- From Github profile, go to repositories
- Click on New
- Enter Repository name, follow the convention, it has to contain the ISO 3 letter. All the rest is optional
- Click on Create Repository
Create PAT (Personal Access Token) for Github account if not created already
Clone the new Github repo in your local repo
- git clone https://(your account PAT)@github.com/(your account or organization)/(repo).git
- cd (repo)
- git remote add template-repo https://github.com/WorldHealthOrganization/tng-participant-template.git
- git pull template-repo main
Please check Invite tng-bot to private repository video for reference
Note: Before generating a new GPG key, make sure you've verified your email address. If you haven't verified your email address, you won't be able to sign commits and tags with GPG. Please check GPG key Creation video for reference
If you are on version 2.1.17 or greater, paste the text below to generate a GPG key pair.
Shell
gpg --full-generate-key
If you are not on version 2.1.17 or greater, the gpg –full-generate-key command doesn't work. Paste the text below and skip to step 4.
Shell
gpg --default-new-key-algo rsa4096 --gen-key
Note: When asked to enter your email address, ensure that you enter the verified email address for your GitHub account. To keep your email address private, use your GitHub-provided no-reply email address. For more information, see "Verifying your email address" and "Setting your commit email address."
Shell
gpg --list-secret-keys --keyid-format=long
Some GPG installations on Linux may require you to use gpg2 –list-keys –keyid-format LONG to view a list of your existing keys instead. In this case you will also need to configure Git to use gpg2 by running git config –global gpg.program gpg2.
From the list of GPG keys, copy the long form of the GPG key ID you'd like to use. In this example, the GPG key ID is 3AA5C34371567BD2:
Shell
$ gpg --list-secret-keys --keyid-format=long
/Users/hubot/.gnupg/secring.gpg

uid Hubot <hubot@example.com>
ssb 4096R/4BB6D45482678BE3 2016-03-10
Paste the text below, substituting in the GPG key ID you'd like to use. In this example, the GPG key ID is 3AA5C34371567BD2:
Shell
gpg --armor --export 3AA5C34371567BD2
# Prints the GPG key ID, in ASCII armor format
Please check Adding GPG key to repository video for reference
Disclaimer: The script generates self-signed certificates not intended to be used on production environments. for DEV and UAT environments you may use the conf files and the certgen bash script as a guideline according to the Certificate Preparation
You must adapt the following default certificate parameter of DN_template.cnf file which will used in gen_all_certs.sh to your needs:
Configuration Template for Certificate Generation, Modify for your own needs in DN_template.cnf file as it will be used as argument while running the script "gen_all_certs.sh".
export OSSL_COUNTRY_NAME="XC"
export OSSL_STATE_NAME="Test State"
export OSSL_LOCALITY_NAME="TEST"
export OSSL_ORGANIZATION_NAME="WHO"
export OSSL_ORGANIZATIONAL_UNIT_NAME="R&D"
Note: OSSL_COUNTRY_NAME should be ISO 2 letter name of the country mapped to the name used in repository.
While execution of the "gen_all_certs.sh" script, Please provide script argument "DN_template.cnf" file
which consists of country related information to generate all required certificates (TLS,SCA,UP)
For Mac/Unix
cd scripts/certgen
./gen_all_certs.sh DN_template.cnf
zsh ./gen_all_certs.sh DN_template.cnf ## If you are using Ubuntu OS
For Windows:
cd scripts/certgen
./gen_all_certs.ps1
Execution On Windows
Windows platform you can use gen_all_certs.ps1 instead. Please note that you need to have OpenSSL installed (e.g. Win64 OpenSSL v3.3.0 Light) and added to your PATH environment variable. Also you may need allow the execution by setting an execution policy.
```
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope Process
```
Prepare Folders
Note: keep your private keys safe and secure. Do not share them with anyone. Copy the generated certificates to the respective folders and change the file names to match the naming convention. For the case of self-signed TLS certificates, the CA.pem is just a copy of the TLS.pem (check to have keyCertSign in the keyUsage). The CA.pem should exist, since it is used to verify the TLS client certificate when connecting to the TNG application. Files to be copied in respective folders are as follows:
- SCA.pem -> onboarding/DCC/SCA
- UP.pem -> onboarding/DCC/UP
- CA.pem -> onboarding/DCC/TLS
- TLS.pem -> onboarding/DCC/TLS
Note: On DEV and UAT environment, if the files are generated using a script, delete the generated folder before committing the files.
This guide follows the certificate templates defined in the certificate governance. Public Key Certificates generated by following this guide will include the minimal required fields - further fields can be added in the configuration files if needed.Self-signed certificates are typically used in DEV and UAT environments.
For production, It is strongly recommended to use certificates signed by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA). This is just an example reference on how to use a Trusted CA certificate in a production environment. You should refer to the specific procedures provided by the public Trusted Certificate Authority (CA) of your choice for accurate and detailed instructions Reference- Recommendation to use Trusted Public CA Certificate in Prod

Certificate generation: Open a command line prompt in the folder where the sca.conf is located and use the following OpenSSL command to create the private key (CAprivkey.key) and the certificate (CAcert.pem):
openssl req -x509 -new -days 1461 -newkey ec:<(openssl ecparam -name prime256v1) -extensions ext -keyout CAprivkey.key -nodes -out CAcert.pem -config sca.conf
DSC generation example Document Signer Certificates (DSCs) must be signed by the SCA. Hence, you have to create the SCA certificate (with the corresponding private key) before you can issue DSCs.
DSC.conf: Please check DSC generation and deletion video for reference
Create a new file called DSC.conf in the folder where your CA’s private key is located and add the following fields:
[ext]
keyUsage = critical, digitalSignature
subjectKeyIdentifier = hash
authorityKeyIdentifier = keyid:always
crlDistributionPoints = URI:http://crl.exampledomain.example/CRL/SCA.crl
extendedKeyUsage = 1.3.6.1.4.1.1847.2021.1.1,1.3.6.1.4.1.1847.2021.1.2,1.3.6.1.4.1.1847.2021.1.3
It is recommended that a SCA provides certificate revocation lists. Therefore, replace the crlDistributionPoints URI with the information for your jurisdiction.
The extendedKeyUsage field is optional, for Covid certificates the below values are recommend to be used to further restrict the DSC certificate as follows:
Field Value
extendedKeyUsage 1.3.6.1.4.1.1847.2021.1.1 for Test Issuers
extendedKeyUsage 1.3.6.1.4.1.1847.2021.1.2 for Vaccination Issuers
extendedKeyUsage 1.3.6.1.4.1.1847.2021.1.3 for Recovery Issuers\
The above example contains all three extended key usages.
Create a certificate signing request (CSR):In order to create a certificate for a Document Signer, first create a Certificate Signing Request preferably on the machine that will use the certificate in order to avoid copying the private key (DSC01privkey.key) to this machine later. The CSR must contain the Distinguished Name (DN) information that will be included in the DSC. Open a command prompt and use the following command to create the CSR:
openssl req -newkey ec:<(openssl ecparam -name prime256v1) -keyout DSC01privkey.key -nodes -out DSC01csr.pem
If needed, you can repeat this procedure to create multiple CSRs for different DSCs (on different machines). When prompted, enter the necessary information (e.g. C= your jurisdiction (MUST), O = your Organization (OPTIONAL), CN = non-empty and unique CN (MUST), …).
Issue the certificate: Copy the CSR (DSC01csr.pem) to the folder where the private key of your CA is located. Open a command prompt and use the following command to issue the DSC (DSCcert.pem):
openssl x509 -req -in DSC01csr.pem -CA CAcert.pem -CAkey CAprivkey.key -CAcreateserial -days 730 -extensions ext -extfile DSC.conf -out DSCcert.pem

RSA Public Key Certificates
In case you want to use RSA certificates you can still use the configuration files provided above. During the CSR/certificate creation, replace the -newkey ec:<(openssl ecparam -name prime256v1) with -newkey rsa:4096 for a 4096 Bit RSA key.
Please be aware that RSA is NOT RECOMMENDED for the DSC and if you want to use RSA as your document signing algorithm, please create either a 2048 bit RSA key or at maximum a 3072 bit RSA key due to the space limitations on the QR codes.
Please check Signing (tag) certificates video for reference
Git Commands for Configuring, Committing, and Pushing Signed Commits are also available here
Finally commit push changes and make a signed tag for the version you want to take into use, by following the steps below:
List all the GPG keys available on your system
gpg --list-key
gpg --list-key
/home/test/.gnupg/pubring.kbx
-----------------------------
pub rsa4096 2024-09-19 [SC]

uid [ultimate] Test User1 (This GPG Key is for XXC test Country) <youruser@yourdomain.com>
sub rsa4096 2024-09-19 [E]
```
**Note**: The PUB ID in above output is CD822874C7862BA4BB6B950E40CC62009D9A00B0 , In your case you need to
replace with << replace with your Pub ID >> with your actual GPG public key ID to configure Git to use a GPG
key for signing commits or tags in next command.
Configure the signing key to be used globally for Git commits and tag
git config --global user.signingkey << replace with your Pub ID >>
git config --get user.signingkey
git config --global user.name "Your Git UserName"
git config --global user.email "Your email Id"
git add .
git commit -sm "added all certificates files"
git tag -s v1.2 -m 'my signed 1.2 tag'
Displays the details of a specific tag
git show v1.2
git push --tags
Everyone Must Sign - Always a good idea Signing tags and commits is great, but if you decide to use this in your normal workflow, you’ll have to make sure that everyone on your team understands how to do so. This can be achieved by asking everyone working with the repository to run git config –local commit.gpgsign true to automatically have all of their commits in the repository signed by default. If you don’t, you’ll end up spending a lot of time helping people figure out how to rewrite their commits with signed versions. Make sure you understand GPG and the benefits of signing things before adopting this as part of your standard workflow.
TNG-WHO Endpoints:
DEV: https://tng-dev.who.int
curl -v https://tng-dev.who.int/trustList --cert TLS.pem --key TLS_key.pem
You should see a output like:
[

Create an Document Signer Certificate and sign it by the SCA Refer and DSC generation example
Create an CMS Package with the following Command:
Note: Step 3 and 4 could be achieved through two method, commandline and script respectively .
Method 1 - Commandline .
openssl x509 -outform der -in cert.pem -out cert.der
openssl cms -sign -nodetach -in cert.der -signer signing.crt -inkey signing.key -out signed.der -outform DER -binary
openssl base64 -in signed.der -out cms.b64 -e -A
Note: cert.der is your DSC, signing.crt is the TNPUP.
Method 2 - Scripts
The DSC generation and upload of CMS package to TNG Gateway could be achieved through the below mentioned scripts. For DEV and UAT environments you may use script.
The Distinguished Name ( DN) configuration file while will parse as source DN_template.cnf is an example.
Please replace with your actual OSSL_COUNTRY_NAME, OSSL_STATE_NAME etc parameters accordingly of DN_template.cnf file.
The script expects at least two arguments: A configuration file (DN_template.cnf) that contains the Distinguished Name (DN) template. A subdirectory where the SCA (Signing Certificate Authority) PEM and KEY files are located. An optional third argument can be provided to specify the purpose of the DSC (e.g., test, vax, rec). If this argument is not provided, the DSC will be generated for all purposes.
How to to run DSC Generate Script gen_dsh.sh
./script_name.sh DN_template.cnf directory_of_SCA_files [test/vax/rec-purpose]
How to run upload.sh script: upload_dsc.sh
- ./upload_dsc.sh: Replace this with the actual name of your script.
- /path/to/subdir: Path to the directory containing UP.pem and UP.key.
- /path/to/DSC_dir: Path to the directory containing the DSC files (DSC.pem, DSC.key).
DCC: The domain name to be used. If omitted, the script will default to DCC.
./upload_dsc.sh /path/to/subdir-up_pem_key /path/to/DSC_dir [DCC]
curl -v https://tng-dev.who.int/trustList/DSC/XC --cert TLS.pem --key TLS.key
curl -v -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/cms" --cert TLS.pem --key TLS_key.pem --data @cms.b64 https://tng-dev.who.int/signerCertificate
curl -v https://tng-dev.who.int/trustList/DSC/XC --cert TLS.pem --key TLS.key
Note: Some versions of curl don’t attach the client certificates automatically. This can be checked via curl –version Ensure that the used version is linked to OpenSSL. Especially under Windows (https://curl.se/windows/):
Curl verson on Unix/Mac: We strongly recommend updating curl and nss to newer latest versions for full compatibility with modern cryptographic standards.The outdated version of curl or nss and may not support modern SSL/TLS protocols or elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) cipher suites properly.

Here’s how you can replace the placeholders with the signed certificate: cp signed_CA_cert.pem ${subdir}/CAcert.pem cp CAprivkey.key ${subdir}/CAprivkey.key
Signing Your Work
Git is cryptographically secure, but it’s not foolproof. If you’re taking work from others on the internet and want to verify that commits are actually from a trusted source, Git has a few ways to sign and verify work using GPG.
First of all, if you want to sign anything you need to get GPG configured and your personal key installed.
$ gpg --list-secret-keys --keyid-format=long
/Users/hubot/.gnupg/secring.gpg
------------------------------------
sec 4096R/3AA5C34371567BD2 2016-03-10 [expires: 2017-03-10]
uid Hubot <hubot@example.com>
ssb 4096R/4BB6D45482678BE3 2016-03-10
If you don’t have a key installed, you can generate one with gpg –gen-key.
$ gpg --gen-key
Once you have a private key to sign with, you can configure Git to use it for signing things by setting the user.signingkey config setting.
$ git config --global user.signingkey 3AA5C34371567BD2!
Now Git will use your key by default to sign tags and commits if you want.
Signing Tags
If you have a GPG private key set up, you can now use it to sign new tags. All you have to do is use -s instead of -a:
$ git tag -s v1.5 -m 'my signed 1.5 tag'
You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
user: "Ben Straub <ben@straub.cc>"
2048-bit RSA key, ID 800430EB, created 2014-05-04
If you run git show on that tag, you can see your GPG signature attached to it:
$ git show v1.5
tag v1.5
Tagger: Ben Straub <ben@straub.cc>
Date: Sat May 3 20:29:41 2014 -0700

Verifying Tags
To verify a signed tag, you use git tag -v
$ git tag -v v1.4.2.1

Signing Commits
In more recent versions of Git (v1.7.9 and above), you can now also sign individual commits. If you’re interested in signing commits directly instead of just the tags, all you need to do is add a -S to your git commit command.
$ git commit -a -S -m 'Signed commit'
You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for

Here we can see that only the latest commit is signed and valid and the previous commits are not.
In Git 1.8.3 and later, git merge and git pull can be told to inspect and reject when merging a commit that does not carry a trusted GPG signature with the –verify-signatures command.
If you use this option when merging a branch and it contains commits that are not signed and valid, the merge will not work.
$ git merge --verify-signatures non-verify
fatal: Commit ab06180 does not have a GPG signature.
If the merge contains only valid signed commits, the merge command will show you all the signatures it has checked and then move forward with the merge.
