Diffie-Hellman Proof-of-Possession Algorithms

Abstract

This document describes two methods for producing an integrity check value from a Diffie-Hellman key pair and one method for producing an integrity check value from an Elliptic Curve key pair. This behavior is needed for such operations as creating the signature of a Public- Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS) #10 Certification Request. These algorithms are designed to provide a Proof-of-Possession of the private key and not to be a general purpose signing algorithm.

This document obsoletes RFC 2875.

1. Introduction

Among the responsibilities of a Certification Authority (CA) in issuing certificates is a requirement that it verifies the identity for the entity to which it is issuing a certificate and that the private key for the public key to be placed in the certificate is in the possession of that entity. The process of validating that the private key is held by the requester of the certificate is called Proof-of-Possession (POP). Further details on why POP is important can be found in Appendix C of RFC 4211 [CRMF].

This document is designed to deal with the problem of how to support POP for encryption-only keys. PKCS #10 [RFC2986] and the Certificate Request Message Format (CRMF) [CRMF] both define syntaxes for Certification Requests. However, while CRMF supports an alternative method to support POP for encryption-only keys, PKCS #10 does not. PKCS #10 assumes that the public key being requested for certification corresponds to an algorithm that is capable of producing a POP by a signature operation. Diffie-Hellman (DH) and Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) are key agreement algorithms and, as such, cannot be directly used for signing or encryption.

This document describes a set of three POP algorithms. Two methods use the key agreement process (one for DH and one for ECDH) to provide a shared secret as the basis of an integrity check value. For these methods, the value is constructed for a specific recipient/ verifier by using a public key of that verifier. The third method uses a modified signature algorithm (for DH). This method allows for arbitrary verifiers.

It should be noted that we did not create an algorithm that parallels the Elliptical Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) as was done for the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA). When using ECDH, the common practice is to use one of a set of predefined curves; each of these curves has been designed to be paired with one of the commonly used hash algorithms. This differs in practice from the DH case where the common practice is to generate a set of group parameters, either on a single machine or for a given community, that are aligned to encryption algorithms rather than hash algorithms. The implication is that, if a key has the ability to perform the modified DSA algorithm for ECDSA, it should be able to use the correct hash algorithm and perform the regular ECDSA signature algorithm with the correctly sized hash.

1.1. Changes since RFC 2875

The following changes have been made:

  • The Static DH POP algorithm has been rewritten for parameterization of the hash algorithm and the Message Authentication Code (MAC) algorithm.
  • New instances of the Static DH POP algorithm have been created using the Hashed Message Authentication Code (HMAC) paired with the SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 hash algorithms. However, the current SHA-1 algorithm remains identical.
  • The Discrete Logarithm Signature algorithm has been rewritten for parameterization of the hash algorithm.
  • New instances of the Discrete Logarithm Signature have been created for the SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 hash functions. However, the current SHA-1 algorithm remains identical.
  • A new Static ECDH POP algorithm has been added.
  • New instances of the Static ECDH POP algorithm have been created using HMAC paired with the SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 hash functions.

1.2. Requirements Terminology

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].

When the words are in lower case they have their natural language meaning.

2. Terminology

The following definitions will be used in this document:

DH certificate = a certificate whose SubjectPublicKey is a DH public value and is signed with any signature algorithm (e.g., RSA or DSA).

ECDH certificate = a certificate whose SubjectPublicKey is an ECDH public value and is signed with any signature algorithm (e.g., RSA or ECDSA).

Proof-of-Possession (POP) = a means that provides a method for a second party to perform an algorithm to establish with some degree of assurance that the first party does possess and has the ability to use a private key. The reasoning behind doing POP can be found in Appendix C in [CRMF].

Details on how to implement the HMAC version of a MAC function used in this document can be found in RFC 2104 [RFC2104], RFC 6234 [RFC6234], and RFC 4231 [RFC4231].

4. Static DH Proof-of-Possession Process

The Static DH POP algorithm is set up to use a Key Derivation Function (KDF) and a MAC. This algorithm requires that a common set of group parameters be used by both the creator and verifier of the POP value.

The steps for creating a DH POP are:

  1. An entity (E) chooses the group parameters for a DH key agreement.

This is done simply by selecting the group parameters from a certificate for the recipient of the POP process. A certificate with the correct group parameters has to be available.

Let the common DH parameters be g and p; and let the DH key pair from the certificate be known as the recipient (R) key pair (Rpub and Rpriv).

Rpub = g^x mod p (where x=Rpriv, the private DH value)

  1. The entity generates a DH public/private key pair using the group parameters from step 1.

For an entity (E):

       Epriv = DH private value = y
       Epub = DH public value = g^y mod p
  1. The POP computation process will then consist of the following steps:

(a) The value to be signed (text) is obtained. (For a PKCS #10

object, the value is the DER-encoded certificationRequestInfo field represented as an octet string.)

(b) A shared DH secret is computed as follows:

shared secret = ZZ = g^(x*y) mod p

[This is done by E as Rpub^y and by the recipient as Epub^x, where Rpub is retrieved from the recipient's DH certificate (or is provided in the protocol) and Epub is retrieved from the Certification Request.]

(c) A temporary key K is derived from the shared secret ZZ as

follows:

K = KDF(LeadingInfo | ZZ | TrailingInfo)

LeadingInfo ::= Subject Distinguished Name from recipient's certificate

TrailingInfo ::= Issuer Distinguished Name from recipient's certificate

(d) Using the defined MAC function, compute MAC(K, text).

The POP verification process requires the recipient to carry out steps (a) through (d) and then simply compare the result of step (d) with what it received as the signature component. If they match, then the following can be concluded:

(a) The entity possesses the private key corresponding to the public

key in the Certification Request because it needs the private key to calculate the shared secret; and

(b) Only the recipient that the entity sent the request to could

actually verify the request because it would require its own private key to compute the same shared secret. In the case where the recipient is a CA, this protects the entity from rogue CAs.

4.1. ASN.1 Encoding

The algorithm outlined above allows for the use of an arbitrary hash function in computing the temporary key and the MAC algorithm. In this specification, we define object identifiers for the SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 hash values and use HMAC for the MAC algorithm. The ASN.1 structures associated with the Static DH POP algorithm are:

           VALUE DhSigStatic

           PUBLIC-KEYS { pk-dh }
      }
      
      id-alg-dhPop-static-sha384-hmac-sha384 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
           id-pkix id-alg(6) 17
      }
      
      sa-dhPop-static-sha512-hmac-sha512 SIGNATURE-ALGORITHM ::= {

      id-alg-dhPop-static-sha512-hmac-sha512 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {

5. Discrete Logarithm Signature

When a single set of parameters is used for a large group of keys, the chance that a collision will occur in the set of keys, either by accident or design, increases as the number of keys used increases. A large number of keys from a single parameter set also encourages the use of brute force methods of attack, as the entire set of keys in the parameters can be attacked in a single operation rather than having to attack each key parameter set individually.

For this reason, we need to create a POP for DH keys that does not require the use of a common set of parameters.

This POP algorithm is based on DSA, but we have removed the restrictions dealing with the hash and key sizes imposed by the [FIPS-186-3] standard. The use of this method does impose some additional restrictions on the set of keys that may be used; however, if the key-generation algorithm documented in [RFC2631] is used, the required restrictions are met. The additional restrictions are the requirement for the existence of a q parameter. Adding the q parameter is generally accepted as a good practice, as it allows for checking of small subgroup attacks.

The following definitions are used in the rest of this section:

p is a large prime
g = h^((p-1)/q) mod p,
where h is any integer 1 < h < p-1 such that h^((p-1)/q) mod p > 1 (g has order q mod p)
q is a large prime
j is a large integer such that p = q*j + 1
x is a randomly or pseudo-randomly generated integer with 1 < x < q y = g^x mod p
HASH is a hash function such that
b = the output size of HASH in bits

Note:

These definitions match the ones in [RFC2631].

5.1. Expanding the Digest Value

Besides the addition of a q parameter, [FIPS-186-3] also imposes size restrictions on the parameters. The length of q must be 160 bits (matching the output length of the SHA-1 digest algorithm), and the length of p must be 1024 bits. The size restriction on p is eliminated in this document, but the size restriction on q is replaced with the requirement that q must be at least b bits in length. (If the hash function is SHA-1, then b=160 bits and the size restriction on b is identical with that in [FIPS-186-3].) Given that there is not a random length-hashing algorithm, a hash value of the message will need to be derived such that the hash is in the range from 0 to q-1. If the length of q is greater than b, then a method must be provided to expand the hash.

The method for expanding the digest value used in this section does not provide any additional security beyond the b bits provided by the hash algorithm. For this reason, the hash algorithm should be the largest size possible to match q. The value being signed is increased mainly to enhance the difficulty of reversing the signature process.

This algorithm produces m, the value to be signed.

Let L = the size of q (i.e., 2^L <= q < 2^(L+1)).
Let M be the original message to be signed.
Let b be the length of HASH output.

  1. Compute d = HASH(M), the digest of the original message.
  1. If L == b, then m = d.
  1. If L > b, then follow steps (a) through (d) below.
       (a)  Set n = FLOOR(L / b)

(b) Set m = d, the initial computed digest value

       (c)  For i = 0 to n - 1
            m = m | HASH(m)
       
       (d)  m = LEFTMOST(m, L-1)

Thus, the final result of the process meets the criteria that 0 <= m < q.

5.2. Signature Computation Algorithm

The signature algorithm produces the pair of values (r, s), which is the signature. The signature is computed as follows:

Given m, the value to be signed, as well as the parameters defined earlier in Section 5:

  1. Generate a random or pseudo-random integer k, such that 0 < k-1 < q.
  1. Compute r = (g^k mod p) mod q.
  1. If r is zero, repeat from step 1.
  1. Compute s = ((k^-1) * (m + x*r)) mod q.
  1. If s is zero, repeat from step 1.

5.3. Signature Verification Algorithm

The signature verification process is far more complicated than is normal for DSA, as some assumptions about the validity of parameters cannot be taken for granted.

Given a value m to be validated, the signature value pair (r, s) and the parameters for the key:

  1. Perform a strong verification that p is a prime number.
  1. Perform a strong verification that q is a prime number.
  1. Verify that q is a factor of p-1; if any of the above checks fail, then the signature cannot be verified and must be considered a failure.
  1. Verify that r and s are in the range [1, q-1].
  1. Compute w = (s^-1) mod q.
  1. Compute u1 = m*w mod q.
  1. Compute u2 = r*w mod q.
  1. Compute v = ((g^u1 * y^u2) mod p) mod q.
  1. Compare v and r; if they are the same, then the signature verified correctly.

5.4. ASN.1 Encoding

The signature algorithm is parameterized by the hash algorithm. The ASN.1 structures associated with the Discrete Logarithm Signature algorithm are:

      sa-dhPop-SHA1 SIGNATURE-ALGORITHM ::= {
         IDENTIFIER id-alg-dh-pop

6. Static ECDH Proof-of-Possession Process

The Static ECDH POP algorithm is set up to use a KDF and a MAC. This algorithm requires that a common set of group parameters be used by both the creator and the verifier of the POP value. Full details of how Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) works can be found in RFC 6090 [RFC6090].

The steps for creating an ECDH POP are:

  1. An entity (E) chooses the group parameters for an ECDH key agreement.

This is done simply by selecting the group parameters from a certificate for the recipient of the POP process. A certificate with the correct group parameters has to be available.

The ECDH parameters can be identified either by a named group or by a set of curve parameters. Section 2.3.5 of RFC 3279 [RFC3279] documents how the parameters are encoded for PKIX certificates. For PKIX-based applications, the parameters will almost always be defined by a named group. Designate G as the group from the ECDH parameters. Let the ECDH key pair associated with the certificate be known as the recipient key pair (Rpub and Rpriv).

       Rpub = Rpriv * G
  1. The entity generates an ECDH public/private key pair using the parameters from step 1.

For an entity (E):

Epriv = entity private value
Epub = ECDH public point = Epriv * G

  1. The POP computation process will then consist of the following steps:

(a) The value to be signed (text) is obtained. (For a PKCS #10

object, the value is the DER-encoded certificationRequestInfo field represented as an octet string.)

(b) A shared ECDH secret is computed as follows:

shared secret point (x, y) = Epriv * Rpub = Rpriv * Epub

shared secret value ZZ is the x coordinate of the computed point

(c) A temporary key K is derived from the shared secret ZZ as

follows:

            K = KDF(LeadingInfo | ZZ | TrailingInfo)

LeadingInfo ::= Subject Distinguished Name from certificate TrailingInfo ::= Issuer Distinguished Name from certificate

(d) Compute MAC(K, text).

The POP verification process requires the recipient to carry out steps (a) through (d) and then simply compare the result of step (d) with what it received as the signature component. If they match, then the following can be concluded:

(a) The entity possesses the private key corresponding to the public

key in the Certification Request because it needed the private key to calculate the shared secret; and

(b) Only the recipient that the entity sent the request to could

actually verify the request because it would require its own private key to compute the same shared secret. In the case where the recipient is a CA, this protects the entity from rogue CAs.

6.1. ASN.1 Encoding

The algorithm outlined above allows for the use of an arbitrary hash function in computing the temporary key and the MAC value. In this specification, we define object identifiers for the SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 hash values. The ASN.1 structures associated with the Static ECDH POP algorithm are:

      id-alg-ecdhPop-static-sha224-hmac-sha224 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
         id-pkix id-alg(6) 25
      }
      
      sa-ecdhPop-sha224-hmac-sha224 SIGNATURE-ALGORITHM ::= {
         IDENTIFIER id-alg-ecdhPop-static-sha224-hmac-sha224
         VALUE DhSigStatic
         PARAMS ARE absent
         PUBLIC-KEYS { pk-ec }
      }
      id-alg-ecdhPop-static-sha256-hmac-sha256 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
         id-pkix id-alg(6) 26
      }
      
      sa-ecdhPop-sha256-hmac-sha256 SIGNATURE-ALGORITHM ::= {
         IDENTIFIER id-alg-ecdhPop-static-sha256-hmac-sha256
         VALUE DhSigStatic
         PARAMS ARE absent
         PUBLIC-KEYS { pk-ec }
      }
      
      id-alg-ecdhPop-static-sha384-hmac-sha384 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
         id-pkix id-alg(6) 27
      }
      
      sa-ecdhPop-sha384-hmac-sha384 SIGNATURE-ALGORITHM ::= {
         IDENTIFIER id-alg-ecdhPop-static-sha384-hmac-sha384
         VALUE DhSigStatic
         PARAMS ARE absent
         PUBLIC-KEYS { pk-ec }
      }
      
      id-alg-ecdhPop-static-sha512-hmac-sha512 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
         id-pkix id-alg(6) 28
      }
      
      sa-ecdhPop-sha512-hmac-sha512 SIGNATURE-ALGORITHM ::= {
         IDENTIFIER id-alg-ecdhPop-static-sha512-hmac-sha512
         VALUE DhSigStatic
         PARAMS ARE absent
         PUBLIC-KEYS { pk-ec }
      }

These items reuse the DhSigStatic structure defined in Section 4. When used with these algorithms, the value to be placed in the field hashValue is that computed in step 3(d) (Section 6). In the above ASN.1, the following items are defined:

sa-ecdhPop-static-sha224-hmac-sha224

An ASN.1 SIGNATURE-ALGORITHM object that associates together the information describing this signature algorithm. The structure DhSigStatic represents the signature value, and the parameters MUST be absent.

id-ecdhPop-static-sha224-hmac-sha224

This OID identifies the Static ECDH POP algorithm that uses SHA-224 as the KDF and HMAC-SHA224 as the MAC function.

sa-ecdhPop-static-sha256-hmac-sha256

An ASN.1 SIGNATURE-ALGORITHM object that associates together the information describing this signature algorithm. The structure DhSigStatic represents the signature value, and the parameters MUST be absent.

id-ecdhPop-static-sha256-hmac-sha256

This OID identifies the Static ECDH POP algorithm that uses SHA-256 as the KDF and HMAC-SHA256 as the MAC function.

sa-ecdhPop-static-sha384-hmac-sha384

An ASN.1 SIGNATURE-ALGORITHM object that associates together the information describing this signature algorithm. The structure DhSigStatic represents the signature value, and the parameters MUST be absent.

id-ecdhPop-static-sha384-hmac-sha384

This OID identifies the Static ECDH POP algorithm that uses SHA-384 as the KDF and HMAC-SHA384 as the MAC function.

sa-ecdhPop-static-sha512-hmac-sha512

An ASN.1 SIGNATURE-ALGORITHM object that associates together the information describing this signature algorithm. The structure DhSigStatic represents the signature value, and the parameters MUST be absent.

id-ecdhPop-static-sha512-hmac-sha512

This OID identifies the Static ECDH POP algorithm that uses SHA-512 as the KDF and HMAC-SHA512 as the MAC function.

7. Security Considerations

None of the algorithms defined in this document are meant for use in general purpose situations. These algorithms are designed and purposed solely for use in doing POP with PKCS #10 and CRMF constructs.

In the Static DH POP and Static ECDH POP algorithms, an appropriate value can be produced by either party. Thus, these algorithms only provide integrity and not origination service. The Discrete Logarithm Signature algorithm provides both integrity checking and origination checking.

All the security in this system is provided by the secrecy of the private keying material. If either sender or recipient private keys are disclosed, all messages sent or received using those keys are compromised. Similarly, the loss of a private key results in an inability to read messages sent using that key.

Selection of parameters can be of paramount importance. In the selection of parameters, one must take into account the community/ group of entities that one wishes to be able to communicate with. In choosing a set of parameters, one must also be sure to avoid small groups. [FIPS-186-3] Appendixes A and B.2 contain information on the selection of parameters for DH. Section 10 of [RFC6090] contains information on the selection of parameters for ECC. The practices outlined in these documents will lead to better selection of parameters.

Appendix B. Example of Static DH Proof-of-Possession

The following example follows the steps described earlier in Section 4.

Step 1. Establishing common DH parameters: Assume the parameters are as in the DER-encoded certificate. The certificate contains a DH public key signed by a CA with a DSA signing key.

Step 2. Form the value to be signed and hash with SHA1. The result of the hash for this example is:

        5f a2 69 b6 4b 22 91 22 6f 4c fe 68 ec 2b d1 c6
        d4 21 e5 2c

Step 3. The hash value needs to be expanded, since |q| = 256. This is done by hashing the hash with SHA1 and appending it to the original hash. The value after this step is:

        5f a2 69 b6 4b 22 91 22 6f 4c fe 68 ec 2b d1 c6
        d4 21 e5 2c 64 92 8b c9 5e 34 59 70 bd 62 40 ad
        6f 26 3b f7 1c a3 b2 cb

Next, the first 255 bits of this value are taken to be the resulting "hash" value. Note that in this case a shift of one bit right is done, since the result is to be treated as an integer:

        2f d1 34 db 25 91 48 91 37 a6 7f 34 76 15 e8 e3
        6a 10 f2 96 32 49 45 e4 af 1a 2c b8 5e b1 20 56

Step 4. The signature value is computed. In this case, you get the values:

        A1 B5 B4 90 01 34 6B A0 31 6A 73 F5 7D F6 5C 14
