1. Introduction
This specification supplements [RFC 3279], "Algorithms
and Identifiers for the Internet X.509 Public Key
Infrastructure Certificate and Certificate Revocation
List (CRL) Profile" and extends the list of
algorithms defined for use in the Internet PKI. This
document specifies algorithm identifiers and ASN.1 [X.660]
encoding rules for DSA and ECDSA digital signatures in
certificates and CRLs when using one of the SHA-2 hash
algorithms (SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512) as the
hash algorithm.
This specification defines the contents of the
signatureAlgorithm, signatureValue and signature fields
within Internet X.509 certificates and CRLs when these
objects are signed using DSA or ECDSA with a SHA-2 hash
algorithm. These fields are more fully described in
[RFC 5280].
This document profiles material presented in the "Secure
Hash Standard" [FIPS 180-3], "Public Key Cryptography for
the Financial Services Industry: The Elliptic Curve
Digital Signature Standard (ECDSA)" [X9.62], and the
"Digital Signature Standard" [FIPS 186-3].
Algorithm identifiers and encoding rules for RSA, DSA and
ECDSA when used with SHA-1 are specified in [RFC 3279].
Algorithm identifiers and encoding rules for RSA when used
with SHA-2 are specified in [RFC 4055].
2. One-way Hash Functions
This section identifies four additional hash algorithms
for use with DSA and ECDSA in the Internet X.509
certificate and CRL profile [RFC 5280].
SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 produce a 224-bit,
256-bit, 384-bit and 512-bit "hash" of the input
Expires December 2008 [Page 3]
Internet-DraftDSA/ECDSA Algorithm Identifiers June 19 2008
respectively and are fully described in the Federal
Information Processing Standard 180-3 [FIPS 180-3].
The listed one-way hash functions are identified by the
following object identifiers (OIDs):
id-sha224 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { joint-iso-itu-t(2) country(16)
us(840) organization(1) gov(101) csor(3) nistalgorithm(4)
hashalgs(2) 4 }
id-sha256 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { joint-iso-itu-t(2) country(16)
us(840) organization(1) gov(101) csor(3) nistalgorithm(4)
hashalgs(2) 1 }
id-sha384 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { joint-iso-itu-t(2) country(16)
us(840) organization(1) gov(101) csor(3) nistalgorithm(4)
hashalgs(2) 2 }
id-sha512 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { joint-iso-itu-t(2) country(16)
us(840) organization(1) gov(101) csor(3) nistalgorithm(4)
hashalgs(2) 3 }
When one of these OIDs appears in an AlgorithmIdentifier,
all implementations MUST accept both NULL and absent
parameters as legal and equivalent encodings.
3. Signature Algorithm
Certificates and CRLs conforming to [RFC 5280] may be
signed with any public key signature algorithm. The
certificate or CRL indicates the algorithm through an
identifier, which appears in the signatureAlgorithm field
within the Certificate or CertificateList. This algorithm
identifier is an OID and has optionally associated
parameters. This section denotes algorithm identifiers and
parameters that MUST be used in the signatureAlgorithm
field in a Certificate or CertificateList.
Signature algorithms are always used in conjunction with a
one-way hash function. This section identifies OIDs for
DSA and ECDSA with SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512.
The contents of the parameters component for each
signature algorithm vary; details are provided for each
algorithm.
The data to be signed (e.g., the one-way hash function
output value) is formatted for the signature algorithm to
Expires December 2008 [Page 4]
Internet-DraftDSA/ECDSA Algorithm Identifiers June 19 2008
be used. Then, a private key operation (e.g., DSA
encryption) is performed to generate the signature value.
This signature value is then ASN.1 encoded as a BIT STRING
and included in the Certificate or CertificateList in the
signature field. More detail on how digital signatures are
generated can be found in [FIPS 186-3].
Entities that validate DSA signatures MUST support SHA-224
and SHA-256. Entities that validate ECDSA signatures MUST
support SHA-224 and SHA-256 and should support SHA-384 and
SHA-512.
3.1. DSA Signature Algorithm
The DSA is defined in the Digital Signature Standard (DSS)
[FIPS 186-3]. DSA was developed by the U.S. Government,
and can be used in conjunction with a SHA2 one-way hash
function such as SHA-224 or SHA-256. DSA is fully
described in [FIPS 186-3].
[FIPS 186-3] specifies four size-choices for a DSA key
pair of the form (public key size, private key size) in
bits. The four choices are (1024, 160), (2048, 224),
(2048, 256), and (3072, 256). More information can be
found in [FIPS 186-3].
DSA key pairs of the sizes (1024, 160) and (2048, 224) may
be used with SHA-224. DSA key pairs of all the
four sizes may use SHA-256. The following are the OIDs of
the DSA digital signature algorithm when used with SHA-224
or SHA-256.
When SHA-224 is used, the OID is:
dsa-with-sha224 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { joint-iso-ccitt(2)
country(16) us(840) organization(1) gov(101) csor(3)
algorithms(4) id-dsa-with-sha2(3) 1 }
When SHA-256 is used, the OID is:
dsa-with-sha256 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { joint-iso-ccitt(2)
country(16) us(840) organization(1) gov(101) csor(3)
algorithms(4) id-dsa-with-sha2(3) 2 }
The(3072, 256) DSA key pair provides 128 bits of security
and provides the most security among all the four sizes of
DSA key pairs. More information on security strength
Expires December 2008 [Page 5]
Internet-DraftDSA/ECDSA Algorithm Identifiers June 19 2008
assessments of DSA and other cryptographic algorithms can
be found in [SP 800-57]. A digital signature algorithm has
the same security strength as its asymmetric key algorithm
like DSA or ECDSA only if its hashing algorithm has at
least the same security strength as the asymmetric key
algorithm. Therefore, a 128-bit security strength hashing
algorithm which is SHA-256 will be sufficient to build a
128-bit security strength DSA digital signature algorithm
when a DSA key pair of the size (3072, 256) is used.
Therefore, it is only needed to specify DSA with SHA-224
and SHA-256 because SHA-256 provides sufficient security for
using with any DSA key pair of any of the four size
choices. More information on security strengths of the
hash functions SHAs specified in [FIPS 180-3] and the
digital signature algorithms specified in [FIPS 186-3] can
be found in [SP 800-107] and [SP 800-57].
When the id-dsa-with-sha224 or id-dsa-with-sha256
algorithm identifier appears in the algorithm field as an
AlgorithmIdentifier, the encoding SHALL omit the
parameters field. That is, the AlgorithmIdentifier SHALL
be a SEQUENCE of one component, the OID id-dsa-with-sha224
or id-dsa-with-sha256.
Encoding rules for DSA signature values are specified in
[RFC 3279]. For completeness, this information is repeated
below:
When signing, the DSA algorithm generates two values
commonly referred to as r and s. To easily transfer these
two values as one signature, they SHALL be ASN.1 encoded
using the following ASN.1 structure:
Dss-Sig-Value ::= SEQUENCE {
r INTEGER,
s INTEGER }
The DSA parameters in the subjectPublicKeyInfo field of
the certificate of the issuer SHALL apply to the
verification of the signature.
3.2. ECDSA Signature Algorithm
The Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) is
defined in, "Public Key Cryptography for the Financial
Services Industry: The Elliptic Curve Digital Signature
Standard (ECDSA)" [X9.62]. [X9.62] provides alternative
mechanisms for specifying the hash algorithm used in the
Expires December 2008 [Page 6]
Internet-DraftDSA/ECDSA Algorithm Identifiers June 19 2008
signature generation process. Three methods are specified
in that document.
1) The signature OID may explicitly identify the hash
algorithm, as specified in Section 3.2.1 below.
2) The signature OID may specify that the signer used the
recommended hash algorithm for a given key size, as
described in Section 3.2.2. A verifier infers from the
size of the public key which hash algorithm was used.
3) The signature OID may indicate that the hash algorithm
is specified as a parameter of the signature OID. The
verifier identifies the appropriate hash algorithm
according to the hash algorithm OID in the parameters
field. The hash algorithm must be one of the SHA-2 hash
algorithms.
Conforming CA implementations MUST specify the hash
algorithm explicitly, using the OIDs specified in Section
3.2.1, when encoding ECDSA/SHA-2 signatures in
certificates and CRLs.
Conforming client implementations that process ECDSA
signatures with any of the SHA-2 hash algorithms when
processing certificates and CRLs MUST recognize the
corresponding OIDs specified in Section 3.2.1. Conforming
client implementations MAY also recognize the signature
OIDs specified in Sections 3.2.2 and 3.2.3.
Encoding rules for ECDSA signature values are specified in
[RFC 3279]. For completeness, this information is repeated
below:
When signing, the ECDSA algorithm generates two values
commonly referred to as r and s. To easily transfer these
two values as one signature, they MUST be ASN.1 encoded
using the following ASN.1 structure:
Ecdsa-Sig-Value ::= SEQUENCE {
r INTEGER,
s INTEGER }
The elliptic curve parameters in the subjectPublicKeyInfo
field of the certificate of the issuer MUST be applied to
the verification of the signature. The
subjectPublicKeyInfo field must be compliant with
Expires December 2008 [Page 7]
Internet-DraftDSA/ECDSA Algorithm Identifiers June 19 2008
requirements for Subject Public Key Information field in
[Elliptic Curve].
3.2.1. ECDSA with SHA-2 Hash Algorithms
The ASN.1 OIDs used to specify that an ECDSA signature was
generated using SHA224, SHA256, SHA384 or SHA 512
respectively:
ecdsa-with-SHA224 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) member-body(2)
us(840) ansi-X9-62(10045) signatures(4) ecdsa-with-SHA2(3) 1 }
ecdsa-with-SHA256 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) member-body(2)
us(840) ansi-X9-62(10045) signatures(4) ecdsa-with-SHA2(3) 2 }
ecdsa-with-SHA384 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) member-body(2)
us(840) ansi-X9-62(10045) signatures(4) ecdsa-with-SHA2(3) 3 }
ecdsa-with-SHA512 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) member-body(2)
us(840) ansi-X9-62(10045) signatures(4) ecdsa-with-SHA2(3) 4 }
When the ecdsa-with-SHA224, ecdsa-with-SHA256, ecdsa-with-
SHA384 or ecdsa-with-SHA512 algorithm identifier appears
in the algorithm field as an AlgorithmIdentifier, the
encoding MUST omit the parameters field. That is, the
AlgorithmIdentifier SHALL be a SEQUENCE of one component:
the OID: ecdsa-with-SHA224, ecdsa-with-SHA256, ecdsa-with-
SHA384 or ecdsa-with-SHA512.
3.2.2. ECDSA with Recommended Hash Algorithm
The following object identifier identifies the hash
function to be used for message digesting implicitly,
based on the size of the signer's public key:
ecdsa-with-Recommended OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1)
member-body(2) us(840) ansi-X9-62(10045) signatures(4)
recommended(2) }
The recommended hash functions are given in [X9.62], and
are determined as follows. Among the hash functions SHA-1,
SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, the recommended one
has the largest bit size that does not require bit
truncation during the signing process. Bit truncation
Expires December 2008 [Page 8]
Internet-DraftDSA/ECDSA Algorithm Identifiers June 19 2008
occurs when the hash output bit-length is greater than the
bit length of n, the order of the base point G. (Note:
even if bit truncation does not occur, modular reduction
can occur.)
Conforming CA implementations MUST NOT specify the ecdsa-
with-Recommended OID when encoding certificates and CRLs.
To maximize interoperability, conforming client
implementations MAY recognize the ecdsa-with-Recommended
OID when processing certificates and CRLs.
3.2.3. ECDSA with Specified Hash Algorithm
The following object identifier identifies the hash
function to be used for message digesting is the one
specified in the parameters field of the algorithm
identifier:
ecdsa-with-Specified OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1)
member-body(2) us(840) ansi-X9-62(10045) signatures(4)
ecdsa-with-SHA2(3) }
For signatures generated using one of the SHA-2 hash
algorithms, the parameters field would contain the
appropriate OID from Section 2.
Conforming CA implementations MUST NOT specify the ecdsa-
with-Specified OID when encoding certificates and CRLs.
To maximize interoperability, conforming client
implementations MAY recognize the ecdsa-with-Specified OID
when processing certificates and CRLs.

END -- Definitions
5. Security Considerations
This specification supplements [RFC 3279]. The Security
Considerations section of that document applies, but is
specific to the RSA algorithm and this document covers the
DSA and ECDSA algorithms and the associated
considerations.
The appropriate use of the hash functions in terms of the
algorithm strengths and expected time frames for secure
use as defined by NIST can be found in Special
Publications 800-78-1 [SP 800-78-1], 800-57 [SP 800-57]
and 800-107 [SP 800-107].
For security reasons, in [FIPS 186-3] NIST recommends three
types of elliptic curves for use in conjunction with one of
the described hash functions: curves over prime fields, curves
over binary fields, and Koblitz curves (anomalous binary
curves). FIPS 186-3 provides a table listing the uses and
time periods for each algorithm and key size combinations
for various applications. For further details, see the
referenced document.
The one-way hash algorithms discussed in this document,
SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 each have a
recommended lifetime when used in combination with a
digital signature algorithm. NIST provides information on
the appropriate time periods for which each combination
should be used based upon the security needs of the
service and information being protected in NIST Special
Publication 800-57. A table outlines the year in which
NIST deems it is no longer safe to use specific
combinations of key lengths and algorithms of various
strengths for RSA, DSA, and ECDSA. NIST also provides
Recommendation for using NIST-approved hash algorithms in
the digital signature applications in [SP 800-107].
Expires December 2008 [Page 11]
Internet-DraftDSA/ECDSA Algorithm Identifiers June 19 2008
The Special Publication 800-57 also discusses the "best
practices" for key management to be used by both
developers and system administrators. The document covers
the aspects of key management from algorithm selection and
key sizes with associated key usage period to key usage
(preventing key overlap), the compromise of keys and
keying material, and key destruction. Specific guidelines
are offered for key usage periods such as the lifetime of
a private signature key may be shorter than the lifetime
of the public verification key for practical applications.
The specification also provides recommendations on the
number of years various key types should be used such as
public and private signature keys, public and private
authentication keys, etc.
NIST Special Publication 800-78-1 also lists time frames
for the use of combined hash algorithms and digital
signature algorithms for specific key types, including the
O Personal Identity Verification (PIV) authentication
key,
O Card authentication key,
O Digital signature key, and
O Key management key.
Specific requirements on the PIV can be found in
[FIPS 201].
The recommendation for the size of digital signatures and
key management keys is more restrictive than that of
authentication keys, because they are used to protect data
for longer periods of time. Therefore, the transition
dates to larger key sizes are earlier in general.
Guidelines for the protection of domain parameters,
initialization vectors (IVs), and per message secret
numbers for use with digital signature algorithms, DSA and
ECSDA are provided in [FIPS 186-3]. An assurance of
integrity should be obtained prior to using all keying
material for the generation of digital signatures using
DSA and ECDSA. Recommendation for Obtaining Assurances for
Digital Signature Applications can be found in [SP 800-89].
The purpose of this is to ensure the keying material
is in the proper format, the domain parameters are valid,
Expires December 2008 [Page 12]
Internet-DraftDSA/ECDSA Algorithm Identifiers June 19 2008
the possession of the private key, the validity of the
public key, and that the request is coming from an
authorized source.
Algorithm implementations MUST follow the appropriate
specification to ensure the generation of secure keys. The
SHA-2 algorithms are fully defined in [FIPS 180-3]. FIPS
186-3 defines the requirements for the digital signature
standard specifying the requirements for both DSA and
ECDSA. ECDSA is fully specified in [X9.62].
Certificate Authorities (CAs) that issue certificates
using the DSA and ECDSA algorithms for key generation
SHOULD adhere to the recommended security guidelines for
key management in the NIST Special Publication 800-57. A
CA should use the same size or greater hash function than
what is used when generating keys for subscriber signature
certificates.
