          Use of Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) Algorithms
                 in Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS)

Abstract

   This document describes how to use Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC)
   public key algorithms in the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS).  The
   ECC algorithms support the creation of digital signatures and the
   exchange of keys to encrypt or authenticate content.  The definition
   of the algorithm processing is based on the NIST FIPS 186-3 for
   digital signature, NIST SP800-56A and SEC1 for key agreement, RFC
   3370 and RFC 3565 for key wrap and content encryption, NIST FIPS
   180-3 for message digest, SEC1 for key derivation, and RFC 2104 and
   RFC 4231 for message authentication code standards.  This document
   obsoletes RFC 3278.

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 message-authentication keys used for content
      authentication and integrity; and

   -  'AuthEnvelopedData' to support ECC-based public key agreement
      methods (ECMQV) to generate pairwise key-encryption keys to
      encrypt message-authentication and content-encryption keys used
      for content authentication, integrity, and encryption.

   Certification of EC public keys is also described to provide public
   key distribution in support of the specified techniques.

   The document will obsolete [CMS-ECC].  The technical changes
   performed since RFC 3278 are detailed in Appendix B.

1.1.  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 [MUST].

2.  SignedData Using ECC

   This section describes how to use ECC algorithms with the CMS
   SignedData format to sign data.

RFC 5753              Use of ECC Algorithms in CMS          January 2010


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 7.1.1), which MUST be one of the following:
      id-sha1, id-sha224, id-sha256, id-sha384, or id-sha512.

   -  signatureAlgorithm contains the signature algorithm identifier
      (see Section 7.1.3): ecdsa-with-SHA1, ecdsa-with-SHA224, ecdsa-
      with-SHA256, ecdsa-with-SHA384, or ecdsa-with-SHA512.  The hash
      algorithm identified in the name of the signature algorithm MUST
      be the same as the digestAlgorithm (e.g., digestAlgorithm is id-
      sha256 therefore signatureAlgorithm is ecdsa-with-SHA256).

   -  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.

   This document does not specify the static-static ECDH, method C(0,2,
   ECC CDH) from [SP800-56A].  Static-static ECDH is analogous to
   static-static DH, which is specified in [CMS-ALG].  Ephemeral-static
   ECDH and 1-Pass ECMQV were specified because they provide better
   security due to the originator's ephemeral contribution to the key
   agreement scheme.

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.
   This algorithm has two variations:

   - 'Standard' ECDH, described as the 'Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman
     Scheme' with the 'Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman Primitive' in
     [SEC1], and

   - 'Co-factor' ECDH, described as the 'One-Pass Diffie-Hellman scheme'
     (method C(1, 1, ECC CDH)) in [SP800-56A].

   Both variations of ephemeral-static ECDH are elliptic curve analogs
   of the ephemeral-static Diffie-Hellman key agreement algorithm
   specified jointly in the documents [CMS-ALG] and [CMS-DH].

   If an implementation uses ECDH with CMS EnvelopedData, then the
   following techniques and formats MUST be used.

   The fields of EnvelopedData are as in [CMS]; as ECDH is a key
   agreement algorithm, the RecipientInfo kari choice is used.

RFC 5753              Use of ECC Algorithms in CMS          January 2010


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 7.1.2).  The parameters associated
      with id-ecPublicKey MUST be absent, ECParameters, or NULL.  The
      parameters associated with id-ecPublicKey SHOULD be absent or
      ECParameters, and NULL is allowed to support legacy
      implementations.  The previous version of this document required
      NULL to be present.  If the parameters are ECParameters, then they
      MUST be namedCurve.  The originatorKey publicKey field MUST
      contain the DER encoding of 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.  The ukm is
      placed in the entityUInfo field of the ECC-CMS-SharedInfo
      structure.  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-
      CMS-SharedInfo as an input to the key derivation function (see
      Section 7.2).

   -  keyEncryptionAlgorithm MUST contain the object identifier of the
      key-encryption algorithm, which in this case is a key agreement
      algorithm (see Section 7.1.4).  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 (see Section
      7.1.5).  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 recipient's
      certificate contains the recipient's static ECDH public key.



Turner & Brown                Informational                     [Page 6]
^L
RFC 5753              Use of ECC Algorithms in CMS          January 2010


      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 performs one of the two ECDH variations mentioned above:

   - If the value of keyEncryptionAlgorithm indicates the use of
     'standard' Diffie-Hellman, then the sending agent performs the
     'Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman Scheme' with the 'Elliptic Curve
     Diffie-Hellman Primitive' in [SEC1].

   - If the value of keyEncryptionAlgorithm indicates the use of 'co-
     factor' Diffie-Hellman, then the sending agent performs the 'One-
     Pass Diffie-Hellman scheme' (method C(1, 1, ECC CDH)) in
     [SP800-56A].

   In both of these cases, the sending agent uses the KDF defined in
   Section 3.6.1 of [SEC1] with the hash algorithm identified by the
   value of keyEncryptionAlgorithm.  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 originatorKey
      publicKey field, and

   -  a shared secret bit string "K", which is used as the pairwise key-
      encryption key for that recipient, as specified in [CMS].

   In a single message, if there are multiple layers for a recipient,
   then the ephemeral public key can be reused by the originator for
   that recipient in each of the different layers.

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



Turner & Brown                Informational                     [Page 7]
^L
RFC 5753              Use of ECC Algorithms in CMS          January 2010


   present, originally supplied additional user key material from the
   ukm field.  The receiving agent then performs one of the two ECDH
   variations mentioned above:

   - If the value of keyEncryptionAlgorithm indicates the use of
     'standard' Diffie-Hellman, then the receiving agent performs the
     'Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman Scheme' with the 'Elliptic Curve
     Diffie-Hellman Primitive' in [SEC1].

   - If the value of keyEncryptionAlgorithm indicates the use of 'co-
     factor' Diffie-Hellman, then the receiving agent performs the 'One-
     Pass Diffie-Hellman scheme' (method C(1, 1, ECC CDH)) in
     [SP800-56A].

   In both of these cases, the receiving agent uses the KDF defined in
   Section 3.6.1 of [SEC1] with the hash algorithm identified by the
   value of keyEncryptionAlgorithm.  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 Menezes-
   Qu-Vanstone (ECMQV) key agreement algorithm with EnvelopedData,
   method C(1, 2, ECC MQV) from [SP800-56A].  Like the KEA algorithm
   [CMS-KEA], 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.  Using an algorithm with the sender static key pair
   allows for knowledge of the message creator; this means that
   authentication can, in some circumstances, be obtained for
   AuthEnvelopedData and AuthenticatedData.  This means that 1-Pass
   ECMQV can be a common algorithm for EnvelopedData, AuthenticatedData,
   and AuthEnvelopedData, while ECDH can only be used in EnvelopedData.

   If an implementation uses 1-Pass ECMQV with CMS EnvelopedData, then
   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.

^L
RFC 5753              Use of ECC Algorithms in CMS          January 2010


3.2.1.  Fields of KeyAgreeRecipientInfo

   When using 1-Pass ECMQV with EnvelopedData, the fields of
   KeyAgreeRecipientInfo are as follows:

   -  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 is an octet string that MUST
      contain 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 7.1.2).  The parameters associated with id-
      ecPublicKey MUST be absent, ECParameters, or NULL.  The parameters
      associated with id-ecPublicKey SHOULD be absent or ECParameters,
      as NULL is allowed to support legacy implementations.  The
      previous version of this document required NULL to be present.  If
      the parameters are ECParameters, then they MUST be namedCurve.
      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, contains
      additional user keying material from the sending agent.

   -  keyEncryptionAlgorithm MUST contain the object identifier of the
      key-encryption algorithm, which in this case is a key agreement
      algorithm (see Section 7.1.4).  The parameters field contains
      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 (see Section 7.1.5).  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 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.

RFC 5753              Use of ECC Algorithms in CMS          January 2010


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], but uses the KDF defined in Section 3.6.1 of [SEC1].
   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].

   In a single message, if there are multiple layers for a recipient,
   then the ephemeral public key can be reused by the originator for
   that recipient in each of the different layers.

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 originator's domain parameters are the same
   as the recipient's domain parameters.  The receiving agent then
   performs the key agreement operation of the Elliptic Curve MQV Scheme
   [SP800-56A], but uses the KDF defined in Section 3.6.1 of [SEC1].  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.

   For both AuthenticatedData and AuthEnvelopedData, data origin
   authentication with 1-Pass ECMQV can only be provided when there is
   one and only one recipient.  When 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 or
   AuthEnvelopedData for each recipient.

   Using an algorithm with the sender static key pair allows for
   knowledge of the message creator; this means that authentication can,
   in some circumstances, be obtained for AuthEnvelopedData and
   AuthenticatedData.  This means that 1-Pass ECMQV can be a common
   algorithm for EnvelopedData, AuthenticatedData, and AuthEnvelopedData
   while ECDH can only be used in EnvelopedData.

4.1.  AuthenticatedData Using 1-Pass ECMQV

   This section describes how to use the 1-Pass ECMQV key agreement
   algorithm with AuthenticatedData.  ECMQV is method C(1, 2, ECC MQV)
   from [SP800-56A].

   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 (MAC) algorithm (see Section 7.1.7), which MUST
     be one of the following: hmac-SHA1, id-hmacWITHSHA224, id-
     hmacWITHSHA256, id-hmacWITHSHA384, or id-hmacWITHSHA512.

   - digestAlgorithm MUST contain the algorithm identifier of the hash
     algorithm (see Section 7.1.1), which MUST be one of the following:
     id-sha1, id-sha224, id-sha256, id-sha384, or id-sha512.

   As 1-Pass ECMQV is a key agreement algorithm, the RecipientInfo kari
   choice is used in the AuthenticatedData.  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.

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.

   In a single message, if there are multiple layers for a recipient,
   then the ephemeral public key can be reused by the originator for
   that recipient in each of the different layers.

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.

4.2.  AuthEnvelopedData Using 1-Pass ECMQV

   This section describes how to use the 1-Pass ECMQV key agreement
   algorithm with AuthEnvelopedData.  ECMQV is method C(1, 2, ECC MQV)
   from [SP800-56A].

   When using ECMQV with AuthEnvelopedData, the fields of
   AuthEnvelopedData are as in [CMS-AUTHENV].

   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 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.

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.

   In a single message, if there are multiple layers for a recipient,
   then the ephemeral public key can be reused by the originator for
   that recipient in each of the different layers.

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 specified in this document by using the
   SMIMECapabilities signed attribute [MSG] in either a signed message
   or a certificate [CERTCAP].

   The SMIMECapabilities attribute value indicates support for one of
   the ECDSA signature algorithms in a SEQUENCE with the capabilityID
   field containing the object identifier ecdsa-with-SHA1 with NULL
   parameters and ecdsa-with-SHA* (where * is 224, 256, 384, or 512)
   with absent 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 0a 06 08 2a 86 48 ce 3d 04 03 01

      ecdsa-with-SHA256: 30 0a 06 08 2a 86 48 ce 3d 04 03 02

      ecdsa-with-SHA384: 30 0a 06 08 2a 86 48 ce 3d 04 03 03

      ecdsa-with-SHA512: 30 0a 06 08 2a 86 48 ce 3d 04 03 04

   NOTE: The SMIMECapabilities attribute indicates that parameters for
   ECDSA with SHA-1 are NULL; however, the parameters are absent when
   used to generate a digital signature.

   The SMIMECapabilities attribute value indicates 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 and

   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.

   The DER encodings that indicate 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 [X.680], [X.681], [X.682], [X.683] 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 and the AuthenticatedData
   digestAlgorithm field.  The digest algorithms used in this document
   are SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512.  The object
   identifiers and parameters associated with these algorithms are found
   in [CMS-ALG] and [CMS-SHA2].

7.1.2.  Originator Public Key

   The KeyAgreeRecipientInfo originator field uses 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 ECParameters.  Implementations MUST accept id-ecPublicKey with
   absent and ECParameters parameters.  If ECParameters is present, its

^L
RFC 5753              Use of ECC Algorithms in CMS          January 2010


   value MUST match the recipient's ECParameters.  Implementations
   SHOULD generate absent parameters for the id-ecPublicKey object
   identifier in the KeyAgreeRecipientInfo originator field.

   [CMS-ECC] indicated the parameters were NULL.  Support for this
   legacy form is OPTIONAL.

7.1.3.  Signature Algorithms

   Signature algorithm identifiers are used in the SignedData
   signatureAlgorithm and signature fields.  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
   identifiers and parameters associated with these algorithms are found
   in [PKI-ALG].

   [CMS-ECC] indicated the parameters were NULL.  Support for this
   legacy form is OPTIONAL.

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], [SEC1]:

      dhSinglePass-stdDH-sha1kdf-scheme OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
        x9-63-scheme 2 }

      dhSinglePass-stdDH-sha224kdf-scheme OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
        secg-scheme 11 0 }

        secg-scheme 11 1 }

      dhSinglePass-stdDH-sha384kdf-scheme OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
        secg-scheme 11 2 }

      dhSinglePass-stdDH-sha512kdf-scheme OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
        secg-scheme 11 3 }

      dhSinglePass-cofactorDH-sha1kdf-scheme OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
        x9-63-scheme 3 }

      dhSinglePass-cofactorDH-sha224kdf-scheme OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
        secg-scheme 14 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 ::= {
        secg-scheme 14 3 }

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

      mqvSinglePass-sha224kdf-scheme OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
        secg-scheme 15 0 }

      mqvSinglePass-sha256kdf-scheme OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
        secg-scheme 15 1 }

      mqvSinglePass-sha384kdf-scheme OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
        secg-scheme 15 2 }

      mqvSinglePass-sha512kdf-scheme OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
        secg-scheme 15 3 }

   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, and AES-256.  The object
   identifiers 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 3-Key Triple DES in CBC
   mode, 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-ALG] and [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].

7.1.7.  Message Authentication Code Algorithms

   Message authentication code algorithms are used in AuthenticatedData
   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-256, HMAC with SHA-384, and HMAC with SHA-512.
   The object identifiers and parameters associated with these
   algorithms are found in [CMS-ALG] and [HMAC-SHA2].

   NOTE: [HMAC-SHA2] defines the object identifiers for HMAC with
   SHA-224, HMAC with SHA-256, HMAC with SHA-384, and HMAC with SHA-512,
   but there is no ASN.1 module from which to import these object
   identifiers.  Therefore, the object identifiers for these algorithms
   are included in the ASN.1 modules defined in Appendix A.

7.1.8.  Key Derivation Algorithm

   The KDF used in this document is as specified in Section 3.6.1 of
   [SEC1].  The hash algorithm is identified in the key agreement
   algorithm.  For example, dhSinglePass-stdDH-sha256kdf-scheme uses the
   KDF from [SEC1] but uses SHA-256 instead of SHA-1.

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 }




Turner & Brown                Informational                    [Page 24]
^L
RFC 5753              Use of ECC Algorithms in CMS          January 2010


   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,
   MAY support compressed keys, and MUST NOT support hybrid 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 is used to represent the ephemeral public key and
   is placed in the ephemeralPublicKey publicKey field.  The additional
   user keying material is placed in the addedukm field.  Then the
   MQVuserKeyingMaterial value is DER-encoded and placed within the ukm
   field of EnvelopedData, AuthenticatedData, or AuthEnvelopedData.

   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).

^L
RFC 5753              Use of ECC Algorithms in CMS          January 2010


      suppPubInfo contains the length of the generated KEK, in bits,
      represented as a 32-bit number, as in [CMS-DH] and [CMS-AES].
      (For example, 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 Section 3.6.1 of [SEC1].

   NOTE: 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 Section 3.6.1 of
   [SEC1] ensures that sufficient keying data is provided.

8.  Recommended Algorithms and Elliptic Curves

   It is RECOMMENDED that implementations of this specification support
   SignedData and EnvelopedData.  Support for AuthenticatedData and
   AuthEnvelopedData is OPTIONAL.

   In order to encourage interoperability, implementations SHOULD use
   the elliptic curve domain parameters specified by [PKI-ALG].

   Implementations that support SignedData with ECDSA:

      - MUST support ECDSA with SHA-256; and

      - MAY support ECDSA with SHA-1, ECDSA with SHA-224, ECDSA with
        SHA-384, and ECDSA with SHA-512; other digital signature
        algorithms MAY also be supported.

   When using ECDSA, to promote interoperability it is RECOMMENDED that
   the P-192, P-224, and P-256 curves be used with SHA-256; the P-384
   curve be used with SHA-384; and the P-521 curve be used with SHA-512.

   If EnvelopedData is supported, then ephemeral-static ECDH standard
   primitive MUST be supported.  Support for ephemeral-static ECDH co-
   factor is OPTIONAL, and support for 1-Pass ECMQV is also OPTIONAL.

   Implementations that support EnvelopedData with the ephemeral-static
   ECDH standard primitive:

        encryption algorithms; other algorithms MAY also be supported.

        algorithm, the id-aes128-wrap key wrap algorithm, and the id-

        algorithms; and the des-ede3-cbc, id-aes192-cbc, and id-
        aes256-cbc content encryption algorithms; other algorithms MAY

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.

   Cryptographic algorithms rely on random numbers.  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 keys and/or certificates with keys that would result in
   excessive cryptographic processing, for example, keys larger than
   those mandated in this specification, which could swamp the
   processing element.  Agents that 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.)

RFC 5753              Use of ECC Algorithms in CMS          January 2010


   This specification is based on [CMS], [CMS-AES], [CMS-AESCG],
   [CMS-ALG], [CMS-AUTHENV], [CMS-DH], [CMS-SHA2], [FIPS180-3],
   [FIPS186-3], and [HMAC-SHA2], and the appropriate security
   considerations of those documents apply.

   In addition, implementers of AuthenticatedData and AuthEnvelopedData
   should be aware of the concerns expressed in [BON] when using
   AuthenticatedData and AuthEnvelopedData to send messages to more than
   one recipient.  Also, users of MQV should be aware of the
   vulnerability described 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 the strength of the security provided
   by each of these choices.  Security algorithm strength is measured in
   bits, where bits is measured in equivalence to a symmetric cipher
   algorithm.  Thus, a strong symmetric cipher algorithm with a key of X
   bits is said to provide X bits of security.  For other algorithms,
   the key size is mapped to an equivalent symmetric cipher strength.
   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, KDFs, key
   wrapping algorithms, and content encryption algorithms.  It also
   lists curves [PKI-ALG] for the key sizes.

   When implementing SignedData, there are three algorithm-related
   choices that need to be made:

      1) What is the public key size?
      2) What is the hash algorithm?
      3) What is the curve?

   Consideration must be given to the bits of 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 choice are roughly equivalent.  The following table provides
   comparable minimum bits of security [SP800-57] for the ECDSA key
   sizes and message digest algorithms.  It also lists curves [PKI-ALG]
   for the key sizes.

10.  IANA Considerations

   This document makes extensive use of object identifiers to register
   originator public key types and algorithms.  The algorithm object
   identifiers are registered in the ANSI X9.62, ANSI X9.63, NIST, RSA,
   and SECG arcs.  Additionally, object identifiers are used to identify
   the ASN.1 modules found in Appendix A (there are two).  These are
   defined by the SMIME WG Registrar in an arc delegated by RSA to the
   SMIME Working Group: iso(1) member-body(2) us(840) rsadsi(113549)
   pkcs(1) pkcs-9(9) smime(16) modules(0).  No action by IANA is
   necessary for this document or any anticipated updates.

Appendix A.   ASN.1 Modules

   Appendix A.1 provides the normative ASN.1 definitions for the
   structures described in this specification using ASN.1 as defined in
   [X.680] for compilers that support the 1988 ASN.1.

   Appendix A.2 provides informative ASN.1 definitions for the
   structures described in this specification using ASN.1 as defined in
   [X.680], [X.681], [X.682], and [X.683] for compilers that support the
   2002 ASN.1.  This appendix contains the same information as Appendix
   A.1 in a more recent (and precise) ASN.1 notation; however, Appendix
   A.1 takes precedence in case of conflict.

Appendix B.  Changes since RFC 3278

   The following summarizes the changes:

   - Abstract: The basis of the document was changed to refer to NIST
     FIPS 186-3 and SP800-56A.  However, to maintain backwards
     compatibility the Key Derivation Function from ANSI/SEC1 is
     retained.

   - Section 1: A bullet was added to address AuthEnvelopedData.

   - Section 2.1: A sentence was added to indicate FIPS180-3 is used
     with ECDSA.  Replaced reference to ANSI X9.62 with FIPS186-3.

   - Section 2.1.1: The permitted digest algorithms were expanded from
     SHA-1 to SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512.

   - Section 2.1.2 and 2.1.3: The bullet addressing integer "e" was
     deleted.

   - Section 3: Added explanation of why static-static ECDH is not
     included.

   - Section 3.1: The reference for DH was changed from RFC 3852 to RFC
     3370.  Provided text to indicate fields of EnvelopedData are as in
     CMS.

   - Section 3.1.1: The text was updated to include description of all
     KeyAgreeRecipientInfo fields.  Parameters for id-ecPublicKey field
     changed from NULL to absent or ECParameter.  Additional information
     about ukm was added.

   - Section 3.2: The sentence describing the advantages of 1-Pass ECMQV
     was rewritten.

   - Section 3.2.1: The text was updated to include description of all
     fields.  Parameters for id-ecPublicKey field changed from NULL to
     absent or ECParameters.

   - Sections 3.2.2 and 4.1.2: The re-use of ephemeral keys paragraph
     was reworded.

   - Section 4.1:  The sentences describing the advantages of 1-Pass
     ECMQV was moved to Section 4.

   - Section 4.1.2: The note about the attack was moved to Section 4.

^L
RFC 5753              Use of ECC Algorithms in CMS          January 2010


   - Section 4.2: This section was added to address AuthEnvelopedData
     with ECMQV.

   - Section 5: This section was moved to Section 8.  The 1st paragraph
     was modified to recommend both SignedData and EnvelopedData.  The
     requirements were updated for hash algorithms and recommendations
     for matching curves and hash algorithms.  Also, the requirements
     were expanded to indicate which ECDH and ECMQV variants, key wrap
     algorithms, and content encryption algorithms are required for each
     of the content types used in this document.  The permitted digest
     algorithms used in KDFs were expanded from SHA-1 to SHA-1, SHA-224,
     SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512.

   - Section 6 (formerly 7): This section was updated to allow for
     SMIMECapabilities to be present in certificates.  The S/MIME
     capabilities for ECDSA with SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512
     were added to the list of S/MIME Capabilities.  Also, updated to
     include S/MIME capabilities for ECDH and ECMQV using the SHA-224,
     SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 algorithms as the KDF.

   - Section 7.1 (formerly 8.1): Added sub-sections for digest,
     signature, originator public key, key agreement, content
     encryption, key wrap, and message authentication code algorithms.
     Pointed to algorithms and parameters in appropriate documents for:
     SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 as well as SHA-224, SHA-256,
     SHA-384, and SHA-512 with ECDSA.  Also, added algorithm identifiers
     for ECDH std, ECDH cofactor, and ECMQV with SHA-224, SHA-256,
     SHA-384, and SHA-512 algorithms as the KDF.  Changed id-ecPublicKey
     parameters to be absent, NULL, or ECParameters, and if present the
     originator's ECParameters must match the recipient's ECParameters.

   - Section 7.2 (formerly 8.2): Updated to include AuthEnvelopedData.
     Also, added text to address support requirement for compressed,
     uncompressed, and hybrid keys; changed pointers from ANSI X9.61 to
     PKIX (where ECDSA-Sig-Value is imported); changed pointers from
     SECG to NIST specs; and updated example of suppPubInfo to be
     AES-256.  keyInfo's parameters changed from NULL to any associated
     parameters (AES wraps have absent parameters).

   - Section 9: Replaced text, which was a summary paragraph, with an
     updated security considerations section.  Paragraph referring to
     definitions of SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 is deleted.

   - Updated references.

   - Added ASN.1 modules.

   - Updated acknowledgements section.
