Internet-Draft                ECMQV in TLS                  October 2006


1.  Introduction

   This document describes the changes necessary to permit TLS to
   support the Elliptic Curve Menezes-Qu-Vanstone Key Agreement (ECMQV)
   with ECDSA- and RSA-signed certificates.  These changes permit the
   use of Full MQV in TLS [2] and are applicable to TLS Version 1.0 [4]
   and TLS Version 1.1 [9].

   The ECMQV key exchange algorithm is designed to provide a variety of
   security goals such as mutual implicit key authentication, known-key
   security, and forward secrecy [2] [13].  Each of these security goals
   is achieved through the use of Full MQV with mutually authenticated
   peers.  The use of Full MQV with anonymous clients is also defined.

   Note: the addition of ECMQV to TLS was first proposed in ECC Cipher
   Suites for TLS (draft-ietf-tls-ecc-00.txt, March 13, 1998), a
   predecessor of [10].  This document provides an update to ECC Cipher
   Suites for TLS [10].

   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 RFC 2119 [3].

2.  ECMQV Key Exchange Algorithms

   The ECMQV_ECDSA and ECMQV_RSA key exchange algorithms are added to
   TLS.  These key exchange algorithms use fixed ECMQV-capable keys in
   certificates.  Two ephemeral ECMQV public keys are also exchanged.
   The exchange of ephemeral public keys occurs in the ServerKeyExchange
   and ClientKeyExchange messages (see Section 4.2 and Section 4.5,
   respectively).

   In ECMQV_ECDSA, the server MUST have a certificate containing an
   ECMQV-capable key.  Both the client and server MUST generate an
   ephemeral ECMQV key.  The client MUST provide the server with either
   a certificate containing an ECMQV-capable key, a static ECMQV key, or
   a second ephemeral ECMQV key.  If the client has a suitable
   certificate then it MUST send that certificate in the
   ClientCertificate message.  This message has the same format and
   meaning as the message defined in [10].

   The option to provide a static ECMQV key to the server allows for the
   possibility that the server has another means of validating the
   binding of that public key to the client.  We differentiate between
   static and ephemeral keys: no binding exists between an ephemeral key
   and the peer generating it.

   In the absence of both a suitable certificate and a static key the
   client MUST send a second ephemeral key.  The two ephemeral keys sent
   in this case MAY be the same key.

   An ECMQV-capable key is an ECC key whose use in ECMQV is permitted.
   All key-pairs MUST be generated using the same elliptic curve
   parameters and the client's certificate MUST be eligible for use with
   client authentication.  Each certificate MUST be signed with ECDSA
   [1].

   Note that there is no structural difference between ECDSA and ECMQV
   keys.  A certificate issuer MAY use the X.509 v3 keyUsage and
   extendedKeyUsage extensions to restrict the use of an ECC public key
   to certain computations [6].  X509 certificates containing ECC public
   keys or signed using ECDSA MUST comply with [5] or another RFC that
   replaces or extends it.  Clients SHOULD use the elliptic curve domain
   parameters recommended in ANSI X9.62 [1], FIPS 186-2 [12], and SEC 2
   [14].

   The ECMQV_RSA key exchange algorithm is the same as ECMQV_ECDSA,
   except that each certificate MUST be signed with RSA [8].

   The ECMQV_RSA key exchange algorithm allows the certificate issuer to
   continue using existing RSA certificates for signing whereas the

   ECMQV_ECDSA key exchange algorithm requires the certificate issuer to
   adopt an ECC certificate.  Regardless of the key exchange algorithm
   used, the server MUST adopt an ECC certificate.

   Figure 1 shows all of the messages in the TLS key establishment
   protocol.  The addition of ECMQV has a direct impact on the
   ServerCertificate, ServerKeyExchange, CertificateRequest,
   ClientCertificate, ClientKeyExchange, and CertificateVerify messages.
   Each of these messages are discussed in Section 4.

   All other messages have the format and meaning defined in [10].

3.  Client Authentication

   The ECDSA_mqv and RSA_mqv client authentication mechanisms are added
   to TLS.  These authentication mechanisms permit the client's
   certified ECMQV public key to participate in the key exchange.

   If the server sends a CertificateRequest message containing the
   ECDSA_mqv authentication type, then the client SHOULD send the server
   both a certificate containing an ECMQV-capable public key and an
   ephemeral ECMQV public key.  The client's certificate is signed with
   ECDSA and sent in the ClientCertificate message and the ephemeral
   ECMQV public key is provided in the ClientKeyExchange message (see
   Section 4.5).

   If the client does not have a certificate eligible for client
   authentication then the client MUST provide the server with either a
   static ECMQV key or a second ephemeral ECMQV key.  The public half of
   this ECMQV key is sent to the server in the ClientKeyExchange message
   (see Section 4.5).

   A certificate is eligible for client authentication if the ECMQV
   public key contained in that certificate uses the same elliptic curve
   domain parameters as the server's public keys and if it respects the
   server's choice of point format.

   All ECMQV keys sent by the client MUST be generated using the same
   elliptic curve parameters used to generate the server's public keys.

   The RSA_mqv client authentication mechanism is the same as the
   ECDSA_mqv client authentication mechanism, except that the client's
   certificate is signed with RSA.

4.  Data Structures and Computations

   The TLS presentation language is used to specify new data structures
   required to support the ECMQV key exchange algorithm (see [9] and
   [4]).  These specifications extend the TLS protocol specification and
   MUST be merged with those in TLS [4] and in any other specifications
   which extend TLS ([7], [9], and [10]).

4.1.  Server Certificate

   The section updates Table 3, "Server certificate types" in [10],
   otherwise this message is exactly as defined in [10].

   This message is sent in the ECMQV_ECDSA and ECMQV_RSA key
   establishment methods.

   Meaning of this message:

   This message is used to convey the server's ephemeral ECMQV public

                 select (KeyExchangeAlgorithm) {
                   case ec_menezes_qu_vanstone:
                     ServerMQVPublic    public;
                 };
               } ServerKeyExchange;

   ec_menezes_qu_vanstone: Indicates the ServerKeyExchange message
      contains an ECMQV public key.

   public: Specifies the ECMQV public key.

   Actions of the sender:

   The server generates an ephemeral ECMQV public key corresponding to
   the curve parameters of the server's ECMQV-capable public key sent in
   the Server Certificate message.  This key is used in the Full MQV
   Scheme described in Section 6.10 of X9.63 [2].

   It conveys this information to the client in the ServerKeyExchange
   message using the format defined above.

   Actions of the recipient:

   The client retrieves the server's ephemeral ECMQV public key from the
   ServerKeyExchange message.

4.3.  Certificate Request

   The TLS CertificateRequest message is extended as follows.

               enum {
                 ecdsa_mqv(??), rsa_mqv(??), (255)
               } ClientCertificateType;

   ecdsa_mqv and rsa_mqv indicate that the server would like to use the
   corresponding client authentication method (see Section 3).

   This message is otherwise exactly as defined in [10].

4.4.  Client Certificate

   The section updates Table 4, "Client certificate types" in [10],
   otherwise this message is exactly as defined in [10].  (The client

   establishment methods.

   Meaning of the message:

   This message is used to convey ephemeral data relating to the ECMQV
   key exchange belonging to the client.  When the client does not have
   a suitable certificate or client authentication is not requested this
   message MUST contain a second ECMQV public key.

               enum { implicit, explicit } PublicValueEncoding;

               implicit
                If the client certificate already contains a suitable
                ECMQV key, then it does not need to be sent again. In
                this case, the ClientKeyExchange message will be sent,
                but this value will be empty.

              explicit
                An ECMQV public key needs to be sent.

               struct {

                   case implicit: struct {};
                   case explicit: ECPoint ecmqv;
                 } ecmqv_public;
                 ECPoint ecmqv_ephemeral;

                  } exchange_keys;
                } ClientKeyExchange;

   Actions of the sender:

   If the client has sent a certificate with an MQV key, ecmqv_ephemeral
   will contain the client's ephemeral public key for the MQV operation;
   otherwise ecmqv_ephemeral will contain an ephemeral public key that
   is used as the ephemeral public key for the MQV operation and ecmqv
   will contain a second ECMQV public key which takes the place of the
   certified key.

   Actions of the recipient:

   The server retrieves the client's ECMQV public keys from the
   ClientKeyExchange message and checks that it is on the same elliptic
   curve as the server's ECMQV key.

4.6.  Certificate Verify

   The CertificateVerify message is never used.  The client's ability to
   arrive at the same premaster secret as the server is sufficient to
   demonstrate its control over the private half of the certified ECMQV
   public key.

4.7.  ECMQV, ECDSA, and RSA Computations

   All ECMQV calculations (including the elliptic curve parameters, key
   generation, and the shared secret calculation) are performed
   according to the Full MQV Scheme described in Section 6.10 of X9.63
   [2].

   All ECDSA computations MUST be performed according to ANSI X9.62 [1]
   or its successors.  Data to be signed or verified is hashed and the
   result run directly through the ECDSA algorithm with no additional
   hashing.  The default hash function is SHA-1 [11] and sha_size
   Section 4.7) is 20.  However, an alternative hash function, such as
   one of the new SHA hash functions specified in FIPS 180-2 [11], MAY
   be used instead if the certificate containing the EC public key
   explicitly requires use of another hash function.  (The mechanism for
   specifying the required hash function has not been standardized but
   this provision anticipates such standardization and obviates the need
   to update this document in response.  Future PKIX RFCs may choose,
   for example, to specify the hash function to be used with a public
   key in the parameters field of subjectPublicKeyInfo.)

   All RSA signatures MUST be verified according to [8], or its
   successors.

6.  Security Considerations

   This document is based on X9.62 [1], RFC 2246 [4], RFC 3268 [15], RFC
   4346 [9], RFC 4492 [10], and IEEE 1363 [16].  The appropriate
   security considerations of those documents apply.

   Implementors SHOULD select security levels appropriate for their
   application.  X9.62 [1] measures security level in bits.  The
   approved security levels are: 80-, 112-, 128-, 192-, and 265-bits.

   The security level provided by ECDSA is dependent upon the security
   level of each cryptographic component used in an ECDSA operation.  In
   general, the hash algorithm used for ECDSA signature generation
   SHOULD more or less match the symmetric key size shown in the
   following table (reproduced for convenience from [10]).

               +---------------+-------------+------------+
               | Symmetric Key | ECDSA/ECMQV | DH/DSA/RSA |
               +---------------+-------------+------------+
               |       80      |     163     |    1024    |
               |               |             |            |
               |      112      |     233     |    2048    |
               |               |             |            |
               |      128      |     283     |    3072    |
               |               |             |            |
               |      192      |     409     |    7680    |
               |               |             |            |
               |      256      |     571     |    15360   |
