Internet-Draft ECC Algorithms for MIKEY June 2007
1. Introduction
This document describes additional algorithms for use in MIKEY. The
document assumes that the reader is familiar with the MIKEY protocol.
The MIKEY protocol [RFC3830] defines three methods for transporting
or establishing keys: with the use of a pre-shared key, public-key
encryption (MIKEY-RSA), and Diffie-Hellman (DH) key exchange (MIKEY-
DHSIGN). This document extends MIKEY-DHSIGN to use Elliptic Curve
Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) or Elliptic Curve German Digital
Signature Algorithm (ECGDSA) as the signature algorithm and further
extends MIKEY-DHSIGN to use Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH)
groups. In addition, this document introduces two new methods based
on the the Elliptic Curve Integrated Encryption Scheme (ECIES) and
Elliptic Curve Menezes-Qu-Vanstone (ECMQV). The ECIES method (MIKEY-
ECIES) is similar to MIKEY-RSA method, and the ECMQV method (MIKEY-
ECMQV) is similar to MIKEY-DHSIGN method.
Implementations have shown that elliptic curve algorithms can
significantly improve performance and security-per-bit over other
recommended algorithms. The purpose of this document is to expand
the options available to implementers of MIKEY to take advantage of
these benefits.
In addition, elliptic curve algorithms are capable of providing
security consistent with AES keys of 128, 192, and 256 bits without
extensive growth in asymmetric key sizes. The following table, taken
from [HOF] and [LEN], gives approximate comparable key sizes for
symmetric systems, ECC systems, and DH/DSA/RSA systems. The
estimates are based on the running times of the best algorithms known
today.
Symmetric | ECC2N | ECP | DH/DSA/RSA
80 | 163 | 192 | 1024
128 | 283 | 256 | 3072
192 | 409 | 384 | 7680
256 | 571 | 521 | 15360
Table 1: Comparable key sizes
Thus, for example, when securing a 192-bit symmetric key, it is
prudent to use either 409-bit ECC2N, 384-bit ECP, or 7680-bit DH/DSA/
RSA. With smaller key sizes the symmetric keys would be
underprotected.
Section 2 describes the extension of MIKEY-DHSIGN to use the ECDSA or
ECGDSA signature algorithm. Section 3 describes the extension of
MIKEY-DHSIGN to use ECDH groups. Section 4 describes the MIKEY-ECIES

method. Section 5 describes the MIKEY-ECMQV method. Section 6
describes additional payloads required to support these new methods.
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].

2. MIKEY-DHSIGN with ECDSA or ECGDSA
MIKEY-DHSIGN is described in Section 3.3 of [RFC3830]. The
Initiator's message includes SIGNi, a signature covering the
Initiator's message. As well, the Responder's message includes
SIGNr, a signature covering the Responder's message. According to
Section 4.2.6 of [RFC3830], the signature algorithm applied is
defined by, and dependent on the certificate used. It is MANDATORY
to support RSA PKCS#1, v1.5, and it is RECOMMENDED to support RSA
PSS. Instead of these signature algorithms, ECDSA or ECGDSA may be
used to allow shorter and more efficient signatures.
ECDSA signatures are detailed in [ANSI-X9.62] and ECGDSA signatures
are detailed in [ISO-IEC-15946-2]. Curve selection and other
parameters will be defined by, and dependent on the certificate used.
When generating signatures, the hash function that MUST be used
depends on the key size, as follows:
ECC2N | ECP | Hash To Use
163 | 192 | SHA-1
233 | 224 | SHA-224
283 | 256 | SHA-256
409 | 384 | SHA-384
571 | 521 | SHA-512
Table 2: Hash to use with ECDSA and ECGDSA
The signature payload (SIGN) specified in Section 6.5 of [RFC3830]
can be used without modification. Two additional S types for ECDSA
and ECGDSA are defined as follows:
S type | Value | Comments
-------------------------------------
ECDSA | 2 | ECDSA signature [ANSI_X9.62]
ECGDSA | 3 | ECGDSA signature [ISO/IEC_15946-2]
[RFC3279] describes algorithms and identifiers for Internet X.509
certificates and CRLs. It includes ECC algorithms and identifiers.
To use the ECDSA or ECGDSA signature algorithm with Elliptic Curve
Diffie-Hellman, this extension to MIKEY-DHSIGN may be combined with
the extension described in Section 3.

3. MIKEY-DHSIGN with ECDH
MIKEY-DHSIGN is described in Section 3.3 of [RFC3830]. According to
Section 4.2.7 of [RFC3830], the support for OAKLEY 5 is MANDATORY and
support for OAKLEY 1 and OAKLEY 2 are OPTIONAL. Instead of these
Diffie-Hellman (DH) groups, elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH)
groups may significantly improve performance and security.
The ECDH groups to be used by MIKEY are the groups recommended by
NIST in FIPS 186-2 [FIPS-186-2]. Detailed descriptions of the ECDH
groups can be found in each of FIPS 186-2 [FIPS-186-2] and SEC 2
[SEC2]. The ECDH groups use elliptic curves over GF[2^N] with N
prime or over GF[P] with P prime. Eleven of the groups proposed here
have been assigned identifiers by IANA [IANA] and the remaining five
might later be assigned identifiers by IANA. The group with IANA
number 6 is described in [ANSI-X9.62] and [SEC2], with object
identifier sect163r1, but it is not one of the fifteen curves that
NIST recommends [FIPS-186-2]. The remaining NIST recommended groups
are suggested and anticipated to be assigned IANA numbers as
specified in Table 3.

The ECDH groups in Table 3 are arranged into 5 classes, corresponding
Brown, et al. Expires December 13, 2007 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft ECC Algorithms for MIKEY June 2007
to approximately equivalent security strengths. To encourage
interoperability, implementations that support one of these classes,
SHOULD support the one group in that class that is defined over a
prime field (which will be one of P-192, P-224, P-256, P-384, or
P-521). Implementations SHOULD support one of P-256 or P-384.
Implementations MAY support any set of groups.
The DH data payload (DH) specified in Section 6.4 of [RFC3830] can be
used without modification. Additional DH-Group identifiers are
required as follows:
DH-Group | Value

ECPRGF192Random / P-192 / secp192r1 | 3

EC2NGF571Random / B-571 / sect571r1 | 17
EC2NGF571Koblitz / K-571 / sect571k1 | 18
When using the ECDH groups, the DH-value in the DH data payload (DH)
is the octet string representation specified in ANSI X9.62
[ANSI-X9.62] and [SEC1].
If the initiator chooses secret i and the responder chooses secret r,
then the raw shared secret is the x-coordinate(only) of (ir)*G.
To use ECDH and ECDSA signature algorithm or to use ECDH and ECGDSA
signature algorithm, this extension to MIKEY-DHSIGN may be combined
with the extension described in Section 2.

Internet-Draft ECC Algorithms for MIKEY June 2007
4. MIKEY-ECIES
The Elliptic Curve Integrated Encryption Scheme (ECIES) is a public-
key encryption scheme based on ECC. Section 3.2 of [RFC3830] already
specifies a public-key encryption method (MIKEY-RSA). Here we
describe the new MIKEY-ECIES method.
Initiator Responder
I_MESSAGE =
HDR, T, RAND, [IDi|CERTi], [IDr], {SP},
KEMAC, [CHASH], PKE, SIGNi --->
R_MESSAGE =
[<---] HDR, T, [IDr], V
As with the MIKEY-RSA case, the main objective of the Initiator's
message is to transport one or more TGKs and a set of security
parameters to the Responder in a secure manner. In general, the
MIKEY-ECIES and MIKEY-RSA methods are exactly the same, except that
the supported signature algorithm and the public key encryption
algorithm are different.
The signature algorithm applied is defined by, and dependent on the
certificate used. The MIKEY-ECIES method supports ECDSA as described
in [ANSI-X9.62] and ECGDSA as described in [ISO-IEC-15946-2]. The
SIGNi will use either ECDSA or ECGDSA as a signature algorithm, as
described in Section 2.
The public key encryption algorithm applied is defined by, and
dependent on the certificate used. The MIKEY-ECIES method supports
ECIES as described in detail in [SEC1]. For ECIES, the key
derivation function that MUST be used is ANSI-X9.63-KDF as described
in [SEC1]. As well, the MAC scheme that MUST be used is HMAC-SHA-1-
160. The 'standard' elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman primitive MUST be
used (as opposed to 'cofactor'). The symmetric encryption scheme
that MUST be used depends on the key size, as follows:
ECC2N | ECP | Symmetric Cipher To Use
163 | 192 | 3DES-CBC
233 | 224 | AES-128-CBC
283 | 256 | AES-128-CBC
409 | 384 | AES-256-CBC
571 | 521 | AES-256-CBC

Internet-Draft ECC Algorithms for MIKEY June 2007
5. MIKEY-ECMQV
ECMQV (Elliptic Curve Menezes-Qu-Vanstone) is defined in ANSI X9.63
[ANSI-X9.63]. ECMQV provides mutual authentication between the
communicating parties and key establishment for the secure transport
of data. Here we describe the new MIKEY-ECMQV method based on the
2-pass protocol.
Initiator Responder
I_MESSAGE =
HDR, T, RAND, [IDi|CERTi], [IDr],
{SP}, ECCPTi, SIGNi --->
R_MESSAGE =
[<---] HDR, T, [IDr|CERTr],
IDi, ECCPTr, ECCPTi, V
The MIKEY-ECMQV method is similar to the MIKEY-DHSIGN method, except
that with MIKEY-ECMQV, a variable-length shared secret is created
using ECMQV instead of a fixed-length shared secret. Same as the
MIKEY-DHSIGN method, this method cannot be used to create group keys;
it can only be used to create single peer-to-peer keys.
The MIKEY-ECMQV method create a variable-length shared secret. From
this shared secret, the TGK and the auth_key for the Responder's
verification message are derived. The first portion of the shared
secret is the TGK, and the second portion of the shared secret is the
auth_key. The length of TGK is specified in ECCPT payload by the
Initiator. The length of auth_key is derived from the authentication
algorithm, which is also specified in ECCPT payload by the Initiator.
The main objective of the Initiator's message is to provide the
Responder with its ephemeral public key represented by the elliptic
curve point (ECCPTi), and a set of security protocol parameters.
These parameters include the authentication algorithm for the
Responder's verification message, the length of TGK, and the key
validity information.
The SIGNi is a signature covering the Initiator's message using the
Initiator's signature key from the Initiator's certificate. The
signature algorithm applied is defined by, and dependent on the
certificate used. The MIKEY-ECMQV method supports ECDSA as described
in [ANSI-X9.62] and ECGDSA as described in [ISO-IEC-15946-2]. The
SIGNi will use either ECDSA or ECGDSA as a signature algorithm, as
described in Section 2.
The main objective of the Responder's message is to provide the
Brown, et al. Expires December 13, 2007 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft ECC Algorithms for MIKEY June 2007
Initiator with its ephemeral public key represented by the elliptic
curve point (ECCPTr). The set of security protocol parameters are
the same as the one in the Initiator's message.
If the Initiator's message is authenticated and accepted by the
Responder, and the ECMQV shared secret is created successfully, then
the verification message (V) is created using the auth_key. V is
calculated in the same way as in the MIKEY-PSA method (see Section
5.2 of [RFC3830]).
If the Responder does not support the set of parameters suggested by
the Initiator, the error message SHOULD include the supported
parameters (see Section 5.1.1 of [ANSI-X9.63]).
The error message is formed as:
HDR, T, {ERR}, {SP}, [SIGNr]
In case of error, the ECMQV shared secret should not be computed.
Without the shared secret, V cannot be generated. As a result, the
error message should include a SIGNr instead of V, in the cases when
the Responder is able to authenticate the Initiator's message.
The SIGNr is a signature covering the Responder's error message using
the Responder's signature key from the Responder's certificate. The
signature algorithm applied is defined by, and dependent on the
certificate used. The MIKEY-ECMQV method support ECDSA as described
in [ANSI-X9.62] and ECGDSA as described in [ISO-IEC-15946-2]. The
SIGNi will use either ECDSA or ECGDSA as a signature algorithm, as
described in Section 2.
2-pass ECMQV is described in detail in ANSI X9.63 [ANSI-X9.63].

32-bit boundary, encoded in octet string representation specified

values.
* TGK len (16 bits): the length of the TGK (in bytes).
* KV (4 bits): indicates the type of key validity period specified.
This may be done by using an SPI (alternatively an MKI in SRTP) or
by providing an interval in which the key is valid (e.g., in the
latter case, for SRTP this will be the index range where the key
is valid). See Section 6.13 of [RFC3830] for pre-defined values.
* KV data (variable length): This includes either the SPI/MKI or an
interval (see Section 6.14 of [RFC3830]). If KV is NULL, this
field is not included.

7. Security Considerations
Since this document proposes new methods for use within MIKEY, many
of the security considerations contained within [RFC3830] apply here
as well. Some of the methods proposed in this document offer higher
cryptographic strength than those proposed in [RFC3830]. In
particular, there are elliptic curves corresponding to each of the
symmetric key sizes 80 bits, 128 bits, 192 bits, and 256 bits. This
allows the MIKEY key exchange to offer security comparable with
higher-strength AES algorithms and SHA implementations. The methods
proposed in this document are among those standardized by NIST in
FIPS 186-2 [FIPS-186-2], by the SECG in SEC2 [SEC2], and by ANSI in
ANSI X9.62 [ANSI-X9.62] and X9.63 [ANSI-X9.63].

This document adds entries to existing MIKEY namespaces in Section 2
(S types in signature payloads), Section 3 (DH Group identifier in DH
payloads), Section 6.1 (ECCPT payload identifier), and Section 6.1
(ECC curve).
