Abstract
   This document standardizes one particular Diffie-Hellman variant,
   based on the ANSI X9.42 draft, developed by the ANSI X9F1 working
   group. Diffie-Hellman is a key agreement algorithm used by two
   parties to agree on a shared secret. An algorithm for converting the
   shared secret into an arbitrary amount of keying material is
   provided. The resulting keying material is used as a symmetric
   encryption key.  The Diffie-Hellman variant described requires the
   recipient to have a certificate, but the originator may have a static
   key pair (with the public key placed in a certificate) or an
   ephemeral key pair.

1.  Introduction
   In [DH76] Diffie and Hellman describe a means for two parties to
   agree upon a shared secret in such a way that the secret will be
   unavailable to eavesdroppers. This secret may then be converted into
   cryptographic keying material for other (symmetric) algorithms.  A
   large number of minor variants of this process exist. This document
   describes one such variant, based on the ANSI X9.42 specification.
1.1.  Requirements Terminology
   Keywords "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT" and
   "MAY" that appear in this document are to be interpreted as described
   in [RFC2119].
2.  Overview Of Method
   Diffie-Hellman key agreement requires that both the sender and
   recipient of a message have key pairs. By combining one's private key
   and the other party's public key, both parties can compute the same
   shared secret number. This number can then be converted into
   cryptographic keying material.  That keying material is typically
   used as a key-encryption key (KEK) to encrypt (wrap) a content-
   encryption key (CEK) which is in turn used to encrypt the message
   data.
2.1.  Key Agreement
   The first stage of the key agreement process is to compute a shared
   secret number, called ZZ.  When the same originator and recipient
   public/private key pairs are used, the same ZZ value will result.
   The ZZ value is then converted into a shared symmetric cryptographic
   key. When the originator employs a static private/public key pair,
   the introduction of a public random value ensures that the resulting
   symmetric key will be different for each key agreement.

RFC 2631          Diffie-Hellman Key Agreement Method          June 1999
2.1.1.  Generation of ZZ
   X9.42 defines that the shared secret ZZ is generated as follows:
     ZZ = g ^ (xb * xa) mod p
   Note that the individual parties actually perform the computations:
     ZZ = (yb ^ xa)  mod p  = (ya ^ xb)  mod p
   where ^ denotes exponentiation
         ya is party a's public key; ya = g ^ xa mod p
         yb is party b's public key; yb = g ^ xb mod p
         xa is party a's private key
         xb is party b's private key
         p is a large prime
         q is a large prime
         g = h^{(p-1)/q} mod p, where
         h is any integer with 1 < h < p-1 such that h{(p-1)/q} mod p > 1
           (g has order q mod p; i.e. g^q mod p = 1 if g!=1)
         j a large integer such that p=qj + 1
         (See Section 2.2 for criteria for keys and parameters)
   In [CMS], the recipient's key is identified by the CMS
   RecipientIdentifier, which points to the recipient's certificate.
   The sender's public key is identified using the
   OriginatorIdentifierOrKey field, either by reference to the sender's
   certificate or by inline inclusion of a public key.
2.1.2.  Generation of Keying Material
   X9.42 provides an algorithm for generating an essentially arbitrary
   amount of keying material from ZZ. Our algorithm is derived from that
   algorithm by mandating some optional fields and omitting others.
     KM = H ( ZZ || OtherInfo)
   H is the message digest function SHA-1 [FIPS-180] ZZ is the shared
   secret value computed in Section 2.1.1. Leading zeros MUST be
   preserved, so that ZZ occupies as many octets as p. For instance, if
   p is 1024 bits, ZZ should be 128 bytes long.  OtherInfo is the DER
   encoding of the following structure:
     OtherInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
       keyInfo KeySpecificInfo,
       partyAInfo [0] OCTET STRING OPTIONAL,
       suppPubInfo [2] OCTET STRING

Rescorla                    Standards Track                     [Page 3]

RFC 2631          Diffie-Hellman Key Agreement Method          June 1999
     }
     KeySpecificInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
       algorithm OBJECT IDENTIFIER,
       counter OCTET STRING SIZE (4..4) }
   Note that these ASN.1 definitions use EXPLICIT tagging. (In ASN.1,
   EXPLICIT tagging is implicit unless IMPLICIT is explicitly
   specified.)
   algorithm is the ASN.1 algorithm OID of the CEK wrapping algorithm
     with which this KEK will be used. Note that this is NOT an
     AlgorithmIdentifier, but simply the OBJECT IDENTIFIER. No
     parameters are used.
   counter is a 32 bit number, represented in network byte order. Its
     initial value is 1 for any ZZ, i.e. the byte sequence 00 00 00 01
     (hex), and it is incremented by one every time the above key
     generation function is run for a given KEK.
   partyAInfo is a random string provided by the sender. In CMS, it is
     provided as a parameter in the UserKeyingMaterial field (encoded as
     an OCTET STRING). If provided, partyAInfo MUST contain 512 bits.
   suppPubInfo is the length of the generated KEK, in bits, represented
     as a 32 bit number in network byte order. E.g. for 3DES it would be
     the byte sequence 00 00 00 C0.
   To generate a KEK, one generates one or more KM blocks (incrementing
   counter appropriately) until enough material has been generated.  The
   KM blocks are concatenated left to right I.e. KM(counter=1) ||
   KM(counter=2)...
   Note that the only source of secret entropy in this computation is
   ZZ.  Even if a string longer than ZZ is generated, the effective key
   space of the KEK is limited by the size of ZZ, in addition to any
   security level considerations imposed by the parameters p and q.
   However, if partyAInfo is different for each message, a different KEK
   will be generated for each message. Note that partyAInfo MUST be used
   in Static-Static mode, but MAY appear in Ephemeral-Static mode.
2.1.3.  KEK Computation
   Each key encryption algorithm requires a specific size key (n). The
   KEK is generated by mapping the left n-most bytes of KM onto the key.
   For 3DES, which requires 192 bits of keying material, the algorithm
   must be run twice, once with a counter value of 1 (to generate K1',
   K2', and the first 32 bits of K3') and once with a counter value of 2

Rescorla                    Standards Track                     [Page 4]

RFC 2631          Diffie-Hellman Key Agreement Method          June 1999
   (to generate the last 32 bits of K3). K1',K2' and K3' are then parity
   adjusted to generate the 3 DES keys K1,K2 and K3.  For RC2-128, which
   requires 128 bits of keying material, the algorithm is run once, with
   a counter value of 1, and the left-most 128 bits are directly
   converted to an RC2 key. Similarly, for RC2-40, which requires 40
   bits of keying material, the algorithm is run once, with a counter
   value of 1, and the leftmost 40 bits are used as the key.
2.1.4.  Keylengths for common algorithms
   Some common key encryption algorithms have KEKs of the following
   lengths.
     3-key 3DES      192 bits
     RC2-128        128 bits
     RC2-40         40 bits
   RC2 effective key lengths are equal to RC2 real key lengths.
2.1.5.  Public Key Validation
   The following algorithm MAY be used to validate a received public key
   y.
     1. Verify that y lies within the interval [2,p-1]. If it does not,
        the key is invalid.
     2. Compute y^q mod p. If the result == 1, the key is valid.
        Otherwise the key is invalid.
   The primary purpose of public key validation is to prevent a small
   subgroup attack [LAW98] on the sender's key pair. If Ephemeral-Static
   mode is used, this check may not be necessary. See also [P1363] for
   more information on Public Key validation.
   Note that this procedure may be subject to pending patents.
2.1.6.  Example 1
   ZZ is the 20 bytes 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09
                      0a 0b 0c 0d 0e 0f 10 11 12 13
   The key wrap algorithm is 3DES-EDE wrap.
   No partyAInfo is used.
   Consequently, the input to the first invocation of SHA-1 is:
   00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0a 0b 0c 0d 0e 0f 10 11 12 13 ; ZZ

   f6 3e b5 fb 5f 56 d9 b6 a8 34 03 91 c2 d3 45 34 93 2e 11 30
   Consequently,
   K1'=a0 96 61 39 23 76 f7 04
   K2'=4d 90 52 a3 97 88 32 46
   K3'=b6 7f 5f 1e f6 3e b5 fb
   Note: These keys are not parity adjusted

   ZZ is the 20 bytes 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09
                      0a 0b 0c 0d 0e 0f 10 11 12 13
   The key wrap algorithm is RC2-128 key wrap, so we need 128 bits (16
   bytes) of keying material.

2.2.  Key and Parameter Requirements
   X9.42 requires that the group parameters be of the form p=jq + 1
   where q is a large prime of length m and j>=2. An algorithm for
   generating primes of this form (derived from the algorithms in FIPS
   PUB 186-1[FIPS-186] and [X942]can be found in appendix A.
   X9.42 requires that the private key x be in the interval [2, (q -
   2)].  x should be randomly generated in this interval. y is then
   computed by calculating g^x mod p.  To comply with this memo, m MUST
   be >=160 bits in length, (consequently, q MUST be at least 160 bits
   long). When symmetric ciphers stronger than DES are to be used, a
   larger m may be advisable. p must be a minimum of 512 bits long.
2.2.1.  Group Parameter Generation
   Agents SHOULD generate domain parameters (g,p,q) using the following
   algorithm, derived from [FIPS-186] and [X942]. When this algorithm is
   used, the correctness of the generation procedure can be verified by
   a third party by the algorithm of 2.2.2.

RFC 2631          Diffie-Hellman Key Agreement Method          June 1999
2.2.1.1.  Generation of p, q
   This algorithm generates a p, q pair where q is of length m and p is
   of length L.
   1. Set m' = m/160 where / represents integer division with rounding
      upwards. I.e. 200/160 = 2.
   2. Set L'=  L/160
   3. Set N'=  L/1024
   4. Select an arbitrary bit string SEED such that the length of SEED
      >= m
   5. Set U = 0
   6. For i = 0 to m' - 1
        U = U + (SHA1[SEED + i] XOR SHA1[(SEED + m' + i)) * 2^(160 * i)
   Note that for m=160, this reduces to the algorithm of [FIPS-186]
        U = SHA1[SEED] XOR SHA1[(SEED+1) mod 2^160 ].
   5. Form q from U by computing U mod (2^m) and setting the most
      significant bit (the 2^(m-1) bit) and the least significant bit to
      1. In terms of boolean operations, q = U OR 2^(m-1) OR 1. Note
      that 2^(m-1) < q < 2^m
   6. Use a robust primality algorithm to test whether q is prime.
   7. If q is not prime then go to 4.
   8. Let counter = 0
   9. Set R = seed + 2*m' + (L' * counter)
   10. Set V = 0
   12. For i = 0 to L'-1 do
       V = V + SHA1(R + i) * 2^(160 * i)
   13. Set W = V mod 2^L
   14. Set X = W OR 2^(L-1)

RFC 2631          Diffie-Hellman Key Agreement Method          June 1999
   Note that 0 <= W < 2^(L-1) and hence X >= 2^(L-1)
   15. Set p = X - (X mod (2*q)) + 1
   16. If p > 2^(L-1) use a robust primality test to test whether p is
       prime. Else go to 18.
   17. If p is prime output p, q, seed, counter and stop.
   18. Set counter = counter + 1
   19. If counter < (4096 * N) then go to 8.
   20. Output "failure"
   Note: A robust primality test is one where the probability of a non-
   prime number passing the test is at most 2^-80. [FIPS-186] provides a
   suitable algorithm, as does [X942].
2.2.1.2.  Generation of g
   This section gives an algorithm (derived from [FIPS-186]) for
   generating g.
   1. Let j = (p - 1)/q.
   2. Set h = any integer, where 1 < h < p - 1 and h differs
      from any value previously tried.
   3. Set g = h^j mod p
   4. If g = 1 go to step 2
2.2.2.  Group Parameter Validation
   The ASN.1 for DH keys in [PKIX] includes elements j and validation-
   Parms which MAY be used by recipients of a key to verify that the
   group parameters were correctly generated. Two checks are possible:
     1. Verify that p=qj + 1. This demonstrates that the parameters meet
        the X9.42 parameter criteria.
     2. Verify that when the p,q generation procedure of [FIPS-186]
        Appendix 2 is followed with seed 'seed', that p is found when
        'counter' = pgenCounter.
     This demonstrates that the parameters were randomly chosen and
     do not have a special form.

   Whether agents provide validation information in their certificates
   is a local matter between the agents and their CA.
2.3.  Ephemeral-Static Mode
   In Ephemeral-Static mode, the recipient has a static (and certified)
   key pair, but the sender generates a new key pair for each message
   and sends it using the originatorKey production. If the sender's key
   is freshly generated for each message, the shared secret ZZ will be
   similarly different for each message and partyAInfo MAY be omitted,
   since it serves merely to decouple multiple KEKs generated by the
   same set of pairwise keys. If, however, the same ephemeral sender key
   is used for multiple messages (e.g. it is cached as a performance
   optimization) then a separate partyAInfo MUST be used for each
   message. All implementations of this standard MUST implement
   Ephemeral-Static mode.
   In order to resist small subgroup attacks, the recipient SHOULD
   perform the check described in 2.1.5. If an opponent cannot determine
   success or failure of a decryption operation by the recipient, the
   recipient MAY choose to omit this check. See also [LL97] for a method
   of generating keys which are not subject to small subgroup attack.
2.4.  Static-Static Mode
   In Static-Static mode, both the sender and the recipient have a
   static (and certified) key pair. Since the sender's and recipient's
   keys are therefore the same for each message, ZZ will be the same for
   each message. Thus, partyAInfo MUST be used (and different for each
   message) in order to ensure that different messages use different
   KEKs. Implementations MAY implement Static-Static mode.
   In order to prevent small subgroup attacks, both originator and
   recipient SHOULD either perform the validation step described in
   Section 2.1.5 or verify that the CA has properly verified the
   validity of the key.  See also [LL97] for a method of generating keys
   which are not subject to small subgroup attack.

RFC 2631          Diffie-Hellman Key Agreement Method          June 1999
Security Considerations
   All the security in this system is provided by the secrecy of the
   private keying material. If either sender or recipient private keys
   are disclosed, all messages sent or received using that key are
   compromised. Similarly, loss of the private key results in an
   inability to read messages sent using that key.
   Static Diffie-Hellman keys are vulnerable to a small subgroup attack
   [LAW98]. In practice, this issue arises for both sides in Static-
   Static mode and for the receiver during Ephemeral-Static mode.
   Sections 2.3 and 2.4 describe appropriate practices to protect
   against this attack. Alternatively, it is possible to generate keys
   in such a fashion that they are resistant to this attack. See [LL97]
   The security level provided by these methods depends on several
   factors. It depends on the length of the symmetric key (typically, a
   2^l security level if the length is l bits); the size of the prime q
   (a 2^{m/2} security level); and the size of the prime p (where the
   security level grows as a subexponential function of the size in
   bits).  A good design principle is to have a balanced system, where
   all three security levels are approximately the same. If many keys
   are derived from a given pair of primes p and q, it may be prudent to
   have higher levels for the primes. In any case, the overall security
   is limited by the lowest of the three levels.
