Internet-Draft RFC 3278bis June 2008
1. Introduction
The Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) is cryptographic algorithm
independent. This specification defines a profile for the use of
Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) public key algorithms in the CMS.
The ECC algorithms are incorporated into the following CMS content
types:
- 'SignedData' to support ECC-based digital signature methods
(ECDSA) to sign content
- 'EnvelopedData' to support ECC-based public-key agreement
methods (ECDH and ECMQV) to generate pairwise key-encryption
keys to encrypt content-encryption keys used for content
encryption
- 'AuthenticatedData' to support ECC-based public-key agreement
methods (ECMQV) to generate pairwise key-encryption keys to
encrypt MAC keys used for content authentication and integrity.
- 'AuthEnvelopedData' to support ECC-based public-key agreement
methods (ECMQV) to generate pairwise key-encryption keys to
encrypt MAC keys used for authenticated encryption modes.
Certification of EC public keys is also described to provide public-
key distribution in support of the specified techniques.
1.1. Requirements Terminology

- Updated acknowledgements section.
2. SignedData using ECC
This section describes how to use ECC algorithms with the CMS
SignedData format to sign data.
2.1. SignedData using ECDSA
This section describes how to use the Elliptic Curve Digital
Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) with SignedData. ECDSA is specified in
[FIPS186-3]. The method is the elliptic curve analog of the Digital
Signature Algorithm (DSA) [FIPS186-3]. ECDSA is used with the Secure
Hash Algorithm (SHA) [FIPS180-3].
In an implementation that uses ECDSA with CMS SignedData, the
following techniques and formats MUST be used.
2.1.1. Fields of the SignedData
When using ECDSA with SignedData, the fields of SignerInfo are as in
[CMS], but with the following restrictions:
- digestAlgorithm MUST contain the algorithm identifier of the hash
algorithm (see Section 7.1) which MUST be one of the following:
id-sha1, id-sha224, id-sha256 identifies, id-sha384, and id-
sha512.
- signatureAlgorithm contains the signature algorithm identifier
(see Section 7.1): ecdsa-with-SHA1, ecdsa-with-SHA224, ecdsa-
with-SHA256, ecdsa-with-SHA384, or ecdsa-with-SHA512.
Turner & Brown Expires March 22, 2009 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft RFC 3278bis June 2008
- signature MUST contain the DER encoding (as an octet string) of a
value of the ASN.1 type ECDSA-Sig-Value (see Section 7.2).
When using ECDSA, the SignedData certificates field MAY include the
certificate(s) for the EC public key(s) used in the generation of the
ECDSA signatures in SignedData. ECC certificates are discussed in
Section 5.
2.1.2. Actions of the sending agent
When using ECDSA with SignedData, the sending agent uses the message
digest calculation process and signature generation process for
SignedData that are specified in [CMS]. To sign data, the sending
agent uses the signature method specified in [FIPS186-3].
The sending agent encodes the resulting signature using the
ECDSA-Sig-Value syntax (see Section 7.2) and places it in the
SignerInfo.signature field.
2.1.3. Actions of the receiving agent
When using ECDSA with SignedData, the receiving agent uses the
message digest calculation process and signature verification process
for SignedData that are specified in [CMS]. To verify SignedData,
the receiving agent uses the signature verification method specified
in [FIPS186-3].
In order to verify the signature, the receiving agent retrieves the
integers r and s from the SignerInfo signature field of the received
message.
3. EnvelopedData using ECC Algorithms
This section describes how to use ECC algorithms with the CMS
EnvelopedData format.
3.1. EnvelopedData using (ephemeral-static) ECDH
This section describes how to use the ephemeral-static Elliptic Curve
Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) key agreement algorithm with EnvelopedData,
method C(1, 1, ECC CDH) from [SP800-56A]. Ephemeral-static ECDH is
the elliptic curve analog of the ephemeral-static Diffie-Hellman key
agreement algorithm specified jointly in the documents [CMS-ALG] and
[CMS-DH].
In an implementation uses ECDH with CMS EnvelopedData, the following
techniques and formats MUST be used.
Turner & Brown Expires March 22, 2009 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft RFC 3278bis June 2008
The fields of EnvelopedData are as in [CMS], as ECDH is a key
agreement algorithm the RecipientInfo kari choice is used. When
using ECDH, the EnvelopedData originatorInfo field MAY include the
certificate(s) for the EC public key(s) used in the formation of the
pairwise key. ECC certificates are discussed in Section 5.
3.1.1. Fields of KeyAgreeRecipientInfo
When using ephemeral-static ECDH with EnvelopedData, the fields of
KeyAgreeRecipientInfo are as follows:
- version MUST be 3.
- originator MUST be the alternative originatorKey. The
originatorKey algorithm field MUST contain the id-ecPublicKey
object identifier (see Section 7.1). The parameters associated
with id-ecPublicKey MUST be absent or ECPoint. NOTE: The
previous version of this document required NULL be present,
support for this is OPTIONAL. The originatorKey publicKey field
MUST contain the value of the ASN.1 type ECPoint (see Section
7.2), which represents the sending agent's ephemeral EC public
key. The ECPoint in uncompressed form MUST be supported.
- ukm MAY be present or absent. However, message originators SHOULD
include the ukm. As specified in RFC 3852 [CMS], implementations
MUST support ukm message recipient processing, so
interoperability is not a concern if the ukm is present or
absent. When present, the ukm is used to ensure that a
different key-encryption key is generated, even when the
ephemeral private key is improperly used more than once, by
using the ECC-Shared-Info as input to in the key derivation
function (see Section 7.2).
- keyEncryptionAlgorithm MUST contain the key encryption algorithm
object identifier (see Section 7.1). The parameters field
contains KeyWrapAlgorithm. The KeyWrapAlgorithm is the
algorithm identifier that indicates the symmetric encryption
algorithm used to encrypt the content-encryption key (CEK) with
the key-encryption key (KEK) and any associated parameters.
Algorithm requirements are found in Section 8.
- recipientEncryptedKeys contains an identifier and an encrypted
key for each recipient. The RecipientEncryptedKey
KeyAgreeRecipientIdentifier MUST contain either the
issuerAndSerialNumber identifying the recipient's certificate or
the RecipientKeyIdentifier containing the subject key identifier
from the recipient's certificate. In both cases, the
Turner & Brown Expires March 22, 2009 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft RFC 3278bis June 2008
recipient's certificate contains the recipient's static ECDH
public key. RecipientEncryptedKey EncryptedKey MUST contain the
content-encryption key encrypted with the ephemeral-static,
ECDH-generated pairwise key-encryption key using the algorithm
specified by the KeyWrapAlgorithm.
3.1.2. Actions of the sending agent
When using ephemeral-static ECDH with EnvelopedData, the sending
agent first obtains the recipient's EC public key and domain
parameters (e.g. from the recipient's certificate). The sending
agent then determines an integer "keydatalen", which is the
KeyWrapAlgorithm symmetric key-size in bits, and also a bit string
"SharedInfo", which is the DER encoding of ECC-CMS-SharedInfo (see
Section 7.2). The sending agent then performs the key deployment and
the key agreement operation of the Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman
Scheme specified in [SP800-56A]. As a result the sending agent
obtains:
- an ephemeral public key, which is represented as a value of the
type ECPoint (see Section 7.2), encapsulated in a bit string and
placed in the KeyAgreeRecipientInfo originator field, and
- a shared secret bit string "K", which is used as the pairwise
key-encryption key for that recipient, as specified in [CMS].
3.1.3. Actions of the receiving agent
When using ephemeral-static ECDH with EnvelopedData, the receiving
agent determines the bit string "SharedInfo", which is the DER
encoding of ECC-CMS-SharedInfo (see Section 7.2), and the integer
"keydatalen" from the key-size, in bits, of the KeyWrapAlgorithm. The
receiving agent retrieves the ephemeral EC public key from the bit
string KeyAgreeRecipientInfo originator, with a value of the type
ECPoint (see Section 7.2) encapsulated as a bit string, and if
present original supplied additional user key material from the ukm
field. The receiving agent performs the key agreement operation of
the Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman Scheme specified in [SP800-56A].
As a result, the receiving agent obtains a shared secret bit string
"K", which is used as the pairwise key-encryption key to unwrap the
CEK.
3.2. EnvelopedData using 1-Pass ECMQV
This section describes how to use the 1-Pass elliptic curve MQV
(ECMQV) key agreement algorithm with EnvelopedData, method
C(1, 2, ECC MQV) from [SP800-56A]. Like the KEA algorithm [CMS-KEA],
Turner & Brown Expires March 22, 2009 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft RFC 3278bis June 2008
1-Pass ECMQV uses three key pairs: an ephemeral key pair, a static
key pair of the sending agent, and a static key pair of the receiving
agent. An advantage of using 1-Pass ECMQV is that it can be used
with both EnvelopedData and AuthenticatedData.
In an implementation uses 1-Pass ECMQV with CMS EnvelopedData, the
following techniques and formats MUST be used.
The fields of EnvelopedData are as in [CMS], as 1-Pass ECMQV is a key
agreement algorithm the RecipientInfo kari choice is used. When
using 1-Pass ECMQV, the EnvelopedData originatorInfo field MAY
include the certificate(s) for the EC public key(s) used in the
formation of the pairwise key. ECC certificates are discussed in
Section 5.
3.2.1. Fields of KeyAgreeRecipientInfo
When using 1-Pass ECMQV with EnvelopedData, the fields of
KeyAgreeRecipientInfo are:
- version MUST be 3.
- originator identifies the static EC public key of the sender. It
SHOULD be one of the alternatives, issuerAndSerialNumber or
subjectKeyIdentifier, and point to one of the sending agent's
certificates.
- ukm MUST be present. The ukm field MUST contain an octet string
which is the DER encoding of the type MQVuserKeyingMaterial (see
Section 7.2). The MQVuserKeyingMaterial ephemeralPublicKey
algorithm field MUST contain the id-ecPublicKey object
identifier (see Section 7.1). The parameters associated with id-
ecPublicKey MUST be abent or ECPoint. NOTE: The previous
version of this document required NULL be present, support is
OPTIONAL. The MQVuserKeyingMaterial ephemeralPublicKey
publicKey field MUST contain the DER-encoding of the ASN.1 type
ECPoint (see Section 7.2) representing the sending agent's
ephemeral EC public key. The MQVuserKeyingMaterial addedukm
field, if present, SHOULD contain an octet string of additional
user keying material of the sending agent.
- keyEncryptionAlgorithm MUST be the key encryption algorithm
identifier (see Section 7.1), with the parameters field
KeyWrapAlgorithm. The KeyWrapAlgorithm indicates the symmetric
encryption algorithm used to encrypt the CEK with the KEK
generated using the 1-Pass ECMQV algorithm and any associated
parameters. Algorithm requirements are found in Section 8.
Turner & Brown Expires March 22, 2009 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft RFC 3278bis June 2008
- recipientEncryptedKeys contains an identifier and an encrypted
key for each recipient. The RecipientEncryptedKey
KeyAgreeRecipientIdentifier MUST contain either the
issuerAndSerialNumber identifying the recipient's certificate or
the RecipientKeyIdentifier containing the subject key identifier
from the recipient's certificate. In both cases, the recipient's
certificate contains the recipient's static ECMQV public key.
RecipientEncryptedKey EncryptedKey MUST contain the content-
encryption key encrypted with the 1-Pass ECMQV-generated
pairwise key-encryption key using the algorithm specified by the
KeyWrapAlgorithm.
3.2.2. Actions of the sending agent
When using 1-Pass ECMQV with EnvelopedData, the sending agent first
obtains the recipient's EC public key and domain parameters (e.g.
from the recipient's certificate), and checks that the domain
parameters are the same, as the sender's domain parameters. The
sending agent then determines an integer "keydatalen", which is the
KeyWrapAlgorithm symmetric key-size in bits, and also a bit string
"SharedInfo", which is the DER encoding of ECC-CMS-SharedInfo (see
Section 7.2). The sending agent then performs the key deployment and
key agreement operations of the Elliptic Curve MQV Scheme specified
in [SP800-56A]. As a result, the sending agent obtains:
- an ephemeral public key, which is represented as a value of type
ECPoint (see Section 7.2), encapsulated in a bit string, placed
in an MQVuserKeyingMaterial ephemeralPublicKey publicKey field
(see Section 7.2), and
- a shared secret bit string "K", which is used as the pairwise
key-encryption key for that recipient, as specified in [CMS].
The ephemeral public key can be re-used with an AuthenticatedData for
greater efficiency.
3.2.3. Actions of the receiving agent
When using 1-Pass ECMQV with EnvelopedData, the receiving agent
determines the bit string "SharedInfo", which is the DER encoding of
ECC-CMS-SharedInfo (see Section 7.2), and the integer "keydatalen"
from the key-size, in bits, of the KeyWrapAlgorithm. The receiving
agent then retrieves the static and ephemeral EC public keys of the
originator, from the originator and ukm fields as described in
Section 3.2.1, and its static EC public key identified in the rid
field and checks that the domain parameters are the same. The
receiving agent then performs the key agreement operation of the
Turner & Brown Expires March 22, 2009 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft RFC 3278bis June 2008
Elliptic Curve MQV Scheme [SP800-56A]. As a result, the receiving
agent obtains a shared secret bit string "K" which is used as the
pairwise key-encryption key to unwrap the CEK.
4. AuthenticatedData and AuthEnvelopedData using ECC
This section describes how to use ECC algorithms with the CMS
AuthenticatedData format. AuthenticatedData lacks non-repudiation,
and so in some instances is preferable to SignedData. (For example,
the sending agent might not want the message to be authenticated when
forwarded.)
This section also describes how to use ECC algorithms with the CMS
AuthEnvelopedData format [CMS-AUTHENV]. AuthEnvelopedData supports
authentication and encryption, and in some instances is preferable to
signing and then encrypting data.
4.1. AuthenticatedData using 1-pass ECMQV
This section describes how to use the 1-Pass elliptic curve MQV
(ECMQV) key agreement algorithm with AuthenticatedData. ECMQV is
method C(1, 2, ECC MQV) from [SP800-56A]. An advantage of using 1-
Pass ECMQV is that it can be used with EnvelopedData,
AuthenticatedData, and AuthEnvelopedData.
When using ECMQV with AuthenticatedData, the fields of
AuthenticatedData are as in [CMS], but with the following
restrictions:
- macAlgorithm MUST contain the algorithm identifier of the message
authentication code algorithm (see Section 7.1) which MUST be
one of the following: id-hmacWithSHA1, id-hmacWITHSHA224, id-
hmacWITHSHA256, id-hmacWITHSHA384, and id-hmacWITHSHA512.
- digestAlgorithm MUST contain the algorithm identifier of the hash
algorithm (see Section 7.1) which MUST be one of the following:
id-sha1, id-sha224, id-sha256, id-sha384, and id-sha512.
The fields of AuthenticatedData are as in [CMS], as 1-Pass ECMQV is a
key agreement algorithm the RecipientInfo kari choice is used. When
using 1-Pass ECMQV, the AuthenticatedData originatorInfo field MAY
include the certificate(s) for the EC public key(s) used in the
formation of the pairwise key. ECC certificates are discussed in
Section 5.
Turner & Brown Expires March 22, 2009 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft RFC 3278bis June 2008
4.1.1. Fields of the KeyAgreeRecipientInfo
The AuthenticatedData KeyAgreeRecipientInfo fields are used in the
same manner as the fields for the corresponding EnvelopedData
KeyAgreeRecipientInfo fields of Section 3.2.1 of this document.
4.1.2. Actions of the sending agent
The sending agent uses the same actions as for EnvelopedData with
1-Pass ECMQV, as specified in Section 3.2.2 of this document.
The ephemeral public key can be re-used with an EnvelopedData for
greater efficiency.
Note: if there are multiple recipients, an attack is possible where
one recipient modifies the content without other recipients noticing
[BON]. A sending agent who is concerned with such an attack SHOULD
use a separate AuthenticatedData for each recipient.
4.1.3. Actions of the receiving agent
The receiving agent uses the same actions as for EnvelopedData with
1-Pass ECMQV, as specified in Section 3.2.3 of this document.
Note: see Note in Section 4.1.2.
4.2. AuthEnvelopedData using 1-pass ECMQV
This section describes how to use the 1-Pass elliptic curve MQV
(ECMQV) key agreement algorithm with AuthEnvelopedData. ECMQV is
method C(1, 2, ECC MQV) from [SP800-56A]. An advantage of using 1-
Pass ECMQV is that it can be used with EnvelopedData,
AuthenticatedData, and AuthEnvelopedData.
The fields of AuthEnvelopedData are as in [CMS], as 1-Pass ECMQV is a
key agreement algorithm the RecipientInfo kari choice is used. When
using 1-Pass ECMQV, the AuthEnvelopedData originatorInfo field MAY
include the certificate(s) for the EC public key(s) used in the
formation of the pairwise key. ECC certificates are discussed in
Section 5.
4.2.1. Fields of the KeyAgreeRecipientInfo
The AuthEnvelopedData KeyAgreeRecipientInfo fields are used in the
same manner as the fields for the corresponding EnvelopedData
KeyAgreeRecipientInfo fields of Section 3.2.1 of this document.
Turner & Brown Expires March 22, 2009 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft RFC 3278bis June 2008
4.2.2. Actions of the sending agent
The sending agent uses the same actions as for EnvelopedData with 1-
Pass ECMQV, as specified in Section 3.2.2 of this document.
The ephemeral public key can be re-used with an EnvelopedData for
greater efficiency.
4.2.3. Actions of the receiving agent
The receiving agent uses the same actions as for EnvelopedData with
1-Pass ECMQV, as specified in Section 3.2.3 of this document.
5. Certificates using ECC
Internet X.509 certificates [PKI] can be used in conjunction with
this specification to distribute agents' public keys. The use of ECC
algorithms and keys within X.509 certificates is specified in
[PKI-ALG].
6. SMIMECapabilities Attribute and ECC
A sending agent MAY announce to receiving agents that it supports one
or more of the ECC algorithms in this document by using the
SMIMECapabilities signed attribute [MSG].
The SMIMECapability value to indicate support for one of the ECDSA
signature algorithms is a SEQUENCE with the capabilityID field
containing the object identifier ecdsa-with-SHA* object identifiers
(where * is 1, 224, 256, 384, or 512) and with NULL parameters. The
DER encodings are:
ecdsa-with-SHA1: 30 0b 06 07 2a 86 48 ce 3d 04 01 05 00
ecdsa-with-SHA224: 30 0c 06 08 2a 86 48 ce 3d 04 03 01 05 00
ecdsa-with-SHA256: 30 0c 06 08 2a 86 48 ce 3d 04 03 02 05 00
ecdsa-with-SHA384: 30 0c 06 08 2a 86 48 ce 3d 04 03 03 05 00
ecdsa-with-SHA512: 30 0c 06 08 2a 86 48 ce 3d 04 03 04 05 00
Turner & Brown Expires March 22, 2009 [Page 13]
Internet-Draft RFC 3278bis June 2008
The SMIMECapability value to indicate support for
a) the standard ECDH key agreement algorithm,
b) the cofactor ECDH key agreement algorithm, or
c) the 1-Pass ECMQV key agreement algorithm
is a SEQUENCE with the capabilityID field containing the object
identifier
a) dhSinglePass-stdDH-sha*kdf-scheme,
b) dhSinglePass-cofactorDH-sha*kdf-scheme, or
c) mqvSinglePass-sha*kdf-scheme
respectively (where * is 1, 224, 256, 384, or 512) with the
parameters present. The parameters indicate the supported key-
encryption algorithm with the KeyWrapAlgorithm algorithm identifier.
Example DER encodings that indicate some capabilities are as follows
(KA is key agreement, KDF is key derivation function, and Wrap is key
wrap algorithm):

7. ASN.1 Syntax
The ASN.1 syntax used in this document is gathered in this section
for reference purposes.
7.1. Algorithm Identifiers
This section provides the object identifiers for the algorithms used
in this document along with any associated parameters.
7.1.1. Digest Algorithms
Digest algorithm object identifiers are used in the SignedData
digestAlgorithms and digestAlgorithm fields, the AuthenticatedData
digestAlgorithm field, and the AuthEnvelopedData digestAlgorithm
field. The digest algorithms used in this document are: SHA-1,
SHA224, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512. The object identifiers and
parameters associated with these algorithms are found in [SMIME-
SHA2].
7.1.2. Originator Public Key
The KeyAgreeRecipientInfo originator filed use the following object
identifier to indicate an elliptic curve public key:
id-ecPublicKey OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
ansi-x9-62 keyType(2) 1 }
where
ansi-x9-62 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
iso(1) member-body(2) us(840) 10045 }
When the object identifier id-ecPublicKey is used here with an
algorithm identifier, the associated parameters MUST be either absent
or ECPoint. Implementations MUST accept id-ecPublicKey with the
parameters field with absent, NULL, and ECPoint parameters. If
ECPoint is present its value is ignored. Implementations SHOULD
generate absent parameters for the id-ecPublicKey object identifier
in the KeyAgreeRecipientInfo originator field.
7.1.3. Signature Algorithms
Signature algorithm identifiers are used in the SignedData
signatureAlgorithm and signature field. The signature algorithms
used in this document are ECDSA with SHA-1, ECDSA with SHA-224, ECDSA
with SHA-256, ECDSA with SHA-384, and ECDSA with SHA-512. The object
Turner & Brown Expires March 22, 2009 [Page 16]
Internet-Draft RFC 3278bis June 2008
identifiers and parameters associated with these algorithms are found
in [PKI-ALG].
7.1.4. Key Agreement Algorithms
Key agreement algorithms are used in EnvelopedData,
AuthenticatedData, and AuthEnvelopedData in the KeyAgreeRecipientInfo
keyEncryptionAlgorithm field. The following object identifiers
indicate the key agreement algorithms used in this document [SP800-
56A]:
dhSinglePass-stdDH-sha1kdf-scheme OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
x9-63-scheme 2 }
dhSinglePass-stdDH-sha224kdf-scheme OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
secg-scheme 11 0 }

dhSinglePass-cofactorDH-sha256kdf-scheme OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
secg-scheme 14 1 }
dhSinglePass-cofactorDH-sha384kdf-scheme OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
secg-scheme 14 2 }
dhSinglePass-cofactorDH-sha512kdf-scheme OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {

mqvSinglePass-sha1kdf-scheme OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
x9-63-scheme 16 }
mqvSinglePass-sha224kdf-scheme OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {

where
x9-63-scheme OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
iso(1) identified-organization(3) tc68(133) country(16)
x9(840) x9-63(63) schemes(0) }
and
secg-scheme OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
iso(1) identified-organization(3) certicom(132) schemes(1) }
When the object identifiers are used here within an algorithm
identifier, the associated parameters field contains KeyWrapAlgorithm
to indicate the key wrap algorithm and any associated parameters.
7.1.5. Key Wrap Algorithms
Key wrap algorithms are used as part of the parameters in the key
agreement algorithm. The key wrap algorithms used in this document
are Triple-DES, AES-128, AES-192, AES-256. The object identifier and
parameters for these algorithms are found in [CMS-ALG] and [CMS-AES].
7.1.6. Content Encryption Algorithms
Content encryption algorithms are used in EnvelopedData and
AuthEnvelopedData in the EncryptedContentInfo
contentEncryptionAlgorithm field. The content encryption algorithms
used with EnvelopedData in this document are AES-128 in CBC mode,
AES-192 in CBC mode, and AES-256 in CBC mode. The object identifiers
and parameters associated with these algorithms are found in [CMS-
AES]. The content encryption algorithms used with AuthEnvelopedData
in this document are AES-128 in CCM mode, AES-192 in CCM mode, AES-
256 in CCM mode, AES-128 in GCM mode, AES-192 in GCM mode, and AES-
256 in GCM mode. The object identifiers and parameters associated
with these algorithms are found in [CMS-AESCG].
Turner & Brown Expires March 22, 2009 [Page 18]
Internet-Draft RFC 3278bis June 2008
7.1.7. Message Authentication Code Algorithms
Message authentication code algorithms are used in AuthenticatedData
and AuthEnvelopedData in the macAlgorithm field. The message
authentication code algorithms used in this document are HMAC with
SHA-1, HMAC with SHA-224, HMAC with SHA-1, HMAC with SHA-1, and HMAC
with SHA-1. The object identifiers and parameters associated with
these algorithms are found in [HMAC-SHA1] and [HMAC-SHA2].
7.2. Other Syntax
The following additional syntax is used here.
When using ECDSA with SignedData, ECDSA signatures are encoded using
the type:
ECDSA-Sig-Value ::= SEQUENCE {
r INTEGER,
s INTEGER }
ECDSA-Sig-Value is specified in [PKI-ALG]. Within CMS, ECDSA-Sig-
Value is DER-encoded and placed within a signature field of
SignedData.
When using ECDH and ECMQV with EnvelopedData, AuthenticatedData, and
AuthEnvelopedData, ephemeral and static public keys are encoded using
the type ECPoint. Implementations MUST support uncompressed keys and
MAY support compressed keys.
ECPoint ::= OCTET STRING
When using ECMQV with EnvelopedData, AuthenticatedData, and
AuthEnvelopedData, the sending agent's ephemeral public key and
additional keying material are encoded using the type:
MQVuserKeyingMaterial ::= SEQUENCE {
ephemeralPublicKey OriginatorPublicKey,
addedukm [0] EXPLICIT UserKeyingMaterial OPTIONAL }
The ECPoint syntax in used to represent the ephemeral public key and
placed in the ephemeralPublicKey field. The additional user keying
material is placed in the addedukm field. Then the
MQVuserKeyingMaterial value is DER-encoded and placed within a ukm
field of EnvelopedData, AuthenticatedData, or AuthEnvelopedData.
Turner & Brown Expires March 22, 2009 [Page 19]
Internet-Draft RFC 3278bis June 2008
When using ECDH or ECMQV with EnvelopedData, AuthenticatedData, or
AuthEnvelopedData, the key-encryption keys are derived by using the
type:
ECC-CMS-SharedInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
keyInfo AlgorithmIdentifier,
entityUInfo [0] EXPLICIT OCTET STRING OPTIONAL,
suppPubInfo [2] EXPLICIT OCTET STRING }
The fields of ECC-CMS-SharedInfo are as follows:
keyInfo contains the object identifier of the key-encryption
algorithm (used to wrap the CEK) and associated parameters. In
this specification, 3DES wrap has NULL parameters while the AES
wraps have absent parameters.
entityUInfo optionally contains additional keying material
supplied by the sending agent. When used with ECDH and CMS, the
entityUInfo field contains the octet string ukm. When used with
ECMQV and CMS, the entityUInfo contains the octet string addedukm
(encoded in MQVuserKeyingMaterial).
suppPubInfo contains the length of the generated KEK, in bits,
represented as a 32 bit number, as in [CMS-DH] and [CMS-AES].
(E.g. for AES-256 it would be 00 00 01 00.)
Within CMS, ECC-CMS-SharedInfo is DER-encoded and used as input to
the key derivation function, as specified in [SP800-56A].
Note that ECC-CMS-SharedInfo differs from the OtherInfo specified in
[CMS-DH]. Here, a counter value is not included in the keyInfo field
because the key derivation function specified in [SP800-56A] ensures
that sufficient keying data is provided.
8. Recommended Algorithms and Elliptic Curves
It is RECOMMEND that implementations of this specification support
SignedData. Support for EnvelopedData and AuthenticatedData is
OPTIONAL.
In order to encourage interoperability, implementations SHOULD use
the elliptic curve domain parameters specified by [PKI-ALG].

384, and ECDSA with SHA-512.

SHA-224, the P-256 curve be used with SHA-256, the P-384 curve be
used with SHA-384, and the P-521 curve be used with SHA-512.

aes192-wrap, and id-aes256-wrap key wrap algorithms and the id-
aes192-cbc and id-aes256-cbc content encryption algorithms.

9. Security Considerations
Cryptographic algorithms will be broken or weakened over time.
Implementers and users need to check that the cryptographic
algorithms listed in this document continue to provide the expected
level of security. The IETF from time to time may issue documents
dealing with the current state of the art.
Turner & Brown Expires March 22, 2009 [Page 22]
Internet-Draft RFC 3278bis June 2008
Cryptographic algorithms rely on random number. See [RANDOM] for
guidance on generation of random numbers.
Receiving agents that validate signatures and sending agents that
encrypt messages, need to be cautious of cryptographic processing
usage when validating signatures and encrypting messages using keys
larger than those mandated in this specification. An attacker could
send certificates with keys which would result in excessive
cryptographic processing, for example keys larger than those mandated
in this specification, which could swamp the processing element.
Agents which use such keys without first validating the certificate
to a trust anchor are advised to have some sort of cryptographic
resource management system to prevent such attacks.
Using secret keys of an appropriate size is crucial to the security
of a Diffie-Hellman exchange. For elliptic curve groups, the size of
the secret key must be equal to the size of n (the order of the group
generated by the point g). Using larger secret keys provides
absolutely no additional security, and using smaller secret keys is
likely to result in dramatically less security. (See [SP800-56A] for
more information on selecting secret keys.)
This specification is based on [CMS], [CMS-AUTHENV], [CMS-ALG],
[CMS-AESCG], [X9.62], [SEC1], and [SEC2] and the appropriate security
considerations of those documents apply.
In addition, implementors of AuthenticatedData should be aware of the
concerns expressed in [BON] when using AuthenticatedData to send
messages to more than one recipient. Also, users of MQV should be
aware of the vulnerability in [K].
When implementing EnvelopedData, AuthenticatedData, and
AuthEnvelopedData, there are five algorithm related choices that need
to be made:
1) What is the public key size?
2) What is the KDF?
3) What is the key wrap algorithm?
4) What is the content encryption algorithm?
5) What is the curve?
Consideration must be given to strength of the security provided by
each of these choices. Security is measured in bits, where a strong
symmetric cipher with a key of X bits is said to provide X bits of
security. It is recommended that the bits of security provided by
each are roughly equivalent. The following table provides comparable
minimum bits of security [SP800-57] for the ECDH/ECMQV key sizes,
Turner & Brown Expires March 22, 2009 [Page 23]
Internet-Draft RFC 3278bis June 2008
KDFs, key wrapping algorithms, and content encryption algorithms. It
also lists curves [PKI-ALG] for the key sizes.
