1. Introduction
This document defines an efficient use of Identifier-Based Encryption
(IBE) based on bilinear pairings. The Sakai-Kasahara IBE
cryptosystem [S-K] is described for establishment of a shared secret
value. This document adds to the IBE options available in [RFC5091],
providing an efficient primitive and an additional family of curves.
This document is restricted to a particular family of curves (see
Section 2.1) which have the benefit of a simple and efficient method
of calculating the pairing on which the Sakai-Kasahara IBE
cryptosystem is based.
Identifier-Based Encryption schemes allow public and private keys to
be derived from Identifiers. In fact, the Identifier can itself be
Groves Informational [Page 2]
Internet Draft draft-groves-sakke-03 Oct 27, 2011
viewed as corresponding to a public key or certificate in a
traditional public key system. However, in IBE, the Identifier can
be formed by both Sender and Receiver, which obviates the necessity
of providing public keys through a third party or of transmitting
certified public keys during each session establishment.
Furthermore, in an IBE system, calculation of keys can occur as
needed, and indeed, messages can be sent to users who are yet to
enrol.
The Sakai-Kasahara primitive described in this document supports
simplex transmission of messages from a Sender to a Receiver. The
choice of elliptic curve pairing on which the primitive is based
allows simple and efficient implementations.
The Sakai-Kasahara Key Establishment scheme described in this
document is drawn from the SK-KEM scheme (as modified to support
multi-party communications) submitted to the IEEE P1363 Working Group
in [SK-KEM].
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 [RFC2119].
2. Notation and Definitions
2.1. Notation
n A security parameter; the size of symmetric keys in bits to
be exchanged by SAKKE.
p A prime, which is the order of the finite field F_p. In
this document p is always congruent to 3 modulo 4.
F_p The finite field of order p.
F* The multiplicative group of the non-zero elements in the
field F; e.g., (F_p)* is the multiplicative group of the
finite field F_p.
q An odd prime that divides p + 1. To provide the desired
level of security, lg(q) MUST be greater than 2*n.
E An elliptic curve defined over F_p, having a subgroup of
order q. In this document we use supersingular curves with
equation y^2 = x^3 - 3 * x modulo p. This curve is chosen
because of the efficiency and simplicity advantages it
offers. The choice of -3 for the coefficient of x provides
Groves Informational [Page 3]
Internet Draft draft-groves-sakke-03 Oct 27, 2011
advantages for elliptic curve arithmetic which are explained
in [P1363]. A further reason for this choice of curve is
that Barreto's trick [Barreto] of eliminating the
computation of the denominators when calculating the pairing
applies.
E(F) The additive group of points of affine coordinates (x,y)
with x, y in the field F, that satisfy the curve equation
for E.
P A point of E(F_p) that generates the cyclic subgroup of
order q. The coordinates of P are given by P = (P_x,P_y).
These coordinates are in F_p, and they satisfy the curve
equation.
0 The null element of any additive group of points on an
elliptic curve, also called the point at infinity.
F_p^2 The extension field of degree 2 of the field F_p. In this
document we use a particular instantiation of this field;
F_p^2 = F_p[i] where i^2 + 1 = 0.
PF_p The projectivisation of F_p. We define this to be
(F_p^2)*/(F_p)*. Note that PF_p is cyclic and has order p +
1, which is divisible by q.
G[q] The q-torsion of a group G. This is the subgroup generated
by points of order q in G.
< , > A version of the Tate-Lichtenbaum pairing. In this document
this is a bilinear map from E(F_p)[q] x E(F_p)[q] onto the
subgroup of order q in PF_p. A full definition is given in
Section 3.2.
Hash A cryptographic hash function.
lg(x) The base 2 logarithm of the real value x.
The following conventions are assumed for curve operations.
Point addition - If A and B are two points on a curve E, their sum
is denoted as A + B.
Scalar multiplication - If A is a point on a curve, and k an
integer, the result of adding A to itself a total of k times is
denoted [k]A.
We assume that the following concrete representations of mathematical
objects are used.
Elements of F_p - The p elements of F_p are represented directly
using the integers from 0 to p-1.
Groves Informational [Page 4]
Internet Draft draft-groves-sakke-03 Oct 27, 2011
Elements of F_p^2 - The elements of F_p^2 = F_p[i] are represented
as x_1 + i * x_2, where x_1 and x_2 are elements of F_p.
Elements of PF_p - Elements of PF_p are cosets of (F_p)* in
(F_p^2)*. Every element of F_p^2 can be written unambiguously in
the form x_1 + i * x_2, where x_1 and x_2 are elements of F_p.
Thus elements of PF_p (except the unique element of order 2) can
be represented unambiguously by x_2 / x_1 in F_p. Since q is odd,
every element of PF_p[q] can be represented by an element of F_p
in this manner.
This representation of elements in PF_p[q] allows efficient
implementation of PF_p[q] group operations, as these can be defined
using arithmetic in F_p. If a and b are elements of F_p representing
elements A and B of PF_p[q] respectively, then A * B in PF_p[q] is
represented by (a + b)/(1 - a * b) in F_p.
2.2. Definitions
Identifier - Each user of an IBE system MUST have a unique,
unambiguous identifying string that can be easily derived by all
valid communicants. This string is the user's Identifier. An
Identifier is an integer in the range 2 to q-1. The method by which
Identifiers are formed MUST be defined for each application.
Key Management Server (KMS) - The Key Management Server is a trusted
3rd party for the IBE system. It derives system secrets and
distributes key material to those authorised to obtain it.
Applications MAY support the use mutual communication between the
users of multiple KMSs. We denote KMSs by KMS_T, KMS_S etc.
Public parameters - The public parameters are a set of parameters
that are held by all users of an IBE system. Such a system MAY
contain multiple KMSs. Each application of SAKKE MUST define the set
of public parameters to be used. The parameters needed are p, q, E,
P, g=<P,P>, Hash and n.
Master Secret (z_T) - The Master Secret z_T is the master key
generated and privately kept by KMS_T and is used by KMS_T to
generate the private keys of the users that it provisions; it is an
integer in the range 2 to q-1.
KMS Public Key: Z_T = [z_T]P - The KMS Public Key Z_T is used to form
Public Key Establishment Keys for all users provisioned by KMS_T; it
is a point of order q in E(F_p). It MUST be provisioned by KMS_T to
all who are authorised to send messages to users of the IBE system.
Receiver Secret Key (RSK) - Each user enrolled in an IBE system is
provisioned with a Receiver Secret Key by its KMS. The RSK provided
to a user with Identifier a by KMS_T is denoted K_(a,T). In SAKKE,
Groves Informational [Page 5]
Internet Draft draft-groves-sakke-03 Oct 27, 2011
the RSK is a point of order q in E(F_p).
Shared Secret Value - The aim of the SAKKE scheme is for the Sender
to securely transmit a Shared Secret Value to the Receiver. The
Shared Secret Value is an integer in the range 0 to (2^n) - 1; it is
denoted SSV.
Encapsulated Data - The Encapsulated Data are used to transmit secret
information securely to the Receiver. They can be computed directly
from the Receiver's Identifier, the public parameters, the KMS Public
Key, and the Shared Secret Value to be transmitted. In SAKKE the
Encapsulated Data are a point of order q in E(F_p) and an integer in
the range 0 to (2^n) - 1. They are formatted as described in Section
4.
2.3. Parameters to be Defined or Negotiated
In order for an application to make use of the SAKKE algorithm, the
communicating hosts MUST agree on values for several of the
parameters described above. The curve equation (E) and the pairing
(< , >) are constant and used for all applications.
For the following parameters, each application MUST either define an
application-specific constant value or define a mechanism for hosts
to negotiate a value:
* n
* p
* q
* P = (P_x,P_y)
* g = <P,P>
* Hash
3. Elliptic Curves and Pairings
E is a supersingular elliptic curve (of j-invariant 1728). E(F_p)
contains a cyclic subgroup of order q, denoted E(F_p)[q], whereas the
larger object E(F_p^2) contains the direct product of two cyclic
subgroups of order q, denoted E(F_p^2)[q].
P is a generator of E(F_p)[q]. It is specified by the (affine)
coordinates (P_x,P_y) in F_p, satisfying the curve equation.
Routines for point addition and doubling on E(F_p) can be found in
Appendix A.10 of [P1363].
Groves Informational [Page 6]
Internet Draft draft-groves-sakke-03 Oct 27, 2011
3.1. E(F_p^2) and the Distortion Map
If (Q_x,Q_y) are (affine) coordinates in F_p for some point (denoted
Q) on E(F_p)[q], then (-Q_x,iQ_y) are (affine) coordinates in F_p^2
for some point on E(F_p^2)[q]. This latter point is denoted [i]Q, by
analogy with the definition for scalar multiplication. The two
points P and [i]P together generate E(F_p^2)[q]. The map [i]: E(F_p)
-> E(F_p^2) is sometimes termed the distortion map.
3.2. The Tate-Lichtenbaum Pairing
We proceed to describe the pairing < , > to be used in SAKKE. We
will need to evaluate polynomials f_R that depend on points on
E(F_p)[q]. Miller's algorithm [Miller] provides a method for
evaluation of f_R(X), where X is some element of E(F_p^2)[q] and R is
some element of E(F_p)[q] and f_R is some polynomial over F_p whose
divisor is (q)(R) - (q)(0). Note that f_R is defined only up to
scalars of F_p.
The version of the Tate-Lichtenbaum pairing used in this document is
given by <R,Q> = f_R([i]Q)^c / (F_p)*. It satisfies the bilinear
relation <[x]R,Q> = <R,[x]Q> = <R,Q>^x for all Q, R in E(F_p)[q], for
all integers x. Note that the domain of definition is restricted to
E(F_p)[q] x E(F_p)[q] so that certain optimisations are natural.
We provide pseudocode for computing <R,Q>, with elliptic curve
arithmetic expressed in affine coordinates. We make use of Barreto's
trick [Barreto] for avoiding the calculation of denominators. Note
that this section does not fully describe the most efficient way of
computing the pairing; it is possible to compute the pairing without
any explicit reference to the extension field F_p^2. This reduces
the number and complexity of the operations needed to compute the
pairing.

4. Representation of Values
This section provides canonical representations of values which MUST
be used to ensure interoperability of implementations. The following
representations MUST be used for input into hash functions and for
transmission.
Integers Integers MUST be represented as an octet string,
with bit length a multiple of 8. To achieve this,
the integer is represented most significant bit
first, and padded with zero bits on the left until
an octet string of the necessary length is
obtained. This is the Octet String representation
described in Section 6 of [RFC6090].
F_p elements Elements of F_p MUST be represented as integers in
the range 0 to p-1 using the octet string
representation defined above. Such octet strings
MUST have length L = Ceiling(lg(p)/8).
PF_p elements Elements of PF_p MUST be represented as an element
of F_p using the algorithm in Section 3.2. They
are therefore represented as octet strings as
defined above and are L octets in length.
Representation of the unique element of order 2 in
PF_p will not be required.
Points on E Elliptic Curve Points MUST be represented in
Uncompressed representation as defined in Section
2.2 of [RFC5480]. For an elliptic curve point ( x
, y ) with x and y in F_p, this representation is
given by 0x04 || x' || y' , where x' is the octet
string representing x, y' is the octet string
representing y and || denotes concatenation. The
representation is 2*L+1 octets in length.
Encapsulated Data The Encapsulated Data MUST be represented as an
Elliptic Curve Point concatenated with an integer
in the range 0 to (2 ^ n) - 1. Since the length
of the representation of elements of F_p is well
defined given p, these data can be unambiguously
parsed to retrieve their components. The
Encapsulated Data is 2*L + n + 1 octets in
length.
5. Supporting Algorithms
5.1. Hashing to an Integer Range
We use the function HashToIntegerRange( s, n, hashfn) to hash strings
Groves Informational [Page 9]
Internet Draft draft-groves-sakke-03 Oct 27, 2011
to an integer range. Given a string, s, a hash function, hashfn, and
an integer, n, this function returns a value between 0 and n - 1.
Input:
* an octet string, s
* an integer, n <= (2^hashlen)^hashlen
* a hash function, hashfn, with output length hashlen bits.
Output:
* an integer, v in the range 0 to n-1
Method:
1) Let A = hashfn( s )
2) Let h_0 = 00...00, a string of null bits of length hashlen bits
3) Let l = Ceiling( lg( n ) / hashlen )
4) For each i in 1 to l do:
a) Let h_i = hashfn(h_(i - 1))
b) Let v_i = hashfn(h_i || A), where || denotes concatenation
5) Let v' = v_1 || ... || v_l
6) Let v = v' mod n
6. The SAKKE Cryptosystem
This chapter describes the Sakai-Kasahara Key Establishment
algorithm. It draws from the cryptosystem first described in [S-K].
6.1. Setup
All users share a set of public parameters with a KMS. In most
circumstances it is expected that a system will only use a single
KMS. However, it is possible for users provisioned by different KMSs
to interoperate provided that they use a common set of public
parameters, and that they each possess the necessary KMS Public
Keys. In order to facilitate this interoperation, it is anticipated
that parameters will be published in application specific standards.
KMS_T chooses its KMS Master Secret, z_T. It MUST randomly select a
value in the range 2 to q-1, and assigns this value to z_T. It MUST
Groves Informational [Page 10]
Internet Draft draft-groves-sakke-03 Oct 27, 2011
derive its KMS Public Key, Z_T, by performing the calculation Z_T =
[z_T]P.
6.1.1. Secret Key Extraction
The KMS derives each Receiver Secret Key from an Identifier and its
KMS Master Secret. It MUST derive a Receiver Secret Key for each
user that it provisions.
For Identifier 'a', the Receiver Secret Key K_(a,T) provided by KMS_T
MUST be derived by KMS_T as K_(a,T) = [(a + z_T)^-1]P, where 'a' is
interpreted as an integer, and the inversion is performed modulo q.
6.1.2. User Provisioning
The KMS MUST provide its KMS Public Key to all users through an
authenticated channel. Receiver Secret Keys MUST be supplied to all
users through a channel that provides confidentiality and mutual
authentication. The mechanisms that provide security for these
channels are beyond the scope of this document: they are application
specific.
Upon receipt of key material, each user MUST verify its Receiver
Secret Key. For Identifier 'a', Receiver Secret Keys from KMS_T are
verified by checking that the following equation holds: < [a]P + Z ,
K_(a,T) > = g, where 'a' is interpreted as an integer.
6.2. Key Exchange
A Sender forms Encapsulated Data and sends it to the Receiver, who
processes it. The result is a shared secret which can be used as
keying material for securing further communications. We denote the
Sender "A", with Identifier a; we denote the Receiver "B", with
Identifier b; Identifiers are to be interpreted as integers in the
algorithms below. Let A be provisioned by KMS_T and B be provisioned
by KMS_S.
6.2.1. Sender
In order to form Encapsulated Data to send to device B who is
provisioned by KMS_S, A needs to hold Z_S. It is anticipated that
this will have been provided to A by KMS_T along with its User
Private Keys. The Sender MUST carry out the following steps.
1) Select a random ephemeral integer value for the Shared Secret
Value SSV in the range 0 to 2^n - 1.
2) Compute r = HashToIntegerRange( SSV || b , q , Hash ).
Groves Informational [Page 11]
Internet Draft draft-groves-sakke-03 Oct 27, 2011
3) Compute R_(b,S) = [r]([b]P + Z_S) in E(F_p).
4) Compute the Hint, H.
a) Compute g^r. Note that g is an element of PF_p[q]
represented by an element of F_p. Thus, in order to
calculate g^r, the operation defined in Section 2.1 for
calculation of A * B in PF_p[q] is to be used as part of a
square and multiply (or similar) exponentiation algorithm,
rather than the regular F_p operations.
b) Compute H := SSV xor HashToIntegerRange( g^r, 2^n, Hash ).
5) Form the Encapsulated Data ( R_(b,S) , H ) and transmit it to
B.
6) Output SSV for use to derive key material for the application
to be keyed.
6.2.2. Receiver
Device B receives Encapsulated Data from device A. In order to
process this, it requires its Receiver Secret Key, K_(b,S), which
will have been provisioned in advance by KMS_S. The method by which
keys are provisioned by the KMS is application specific. The
Receiver MUST carry out the following steps to derive and verify the
Shared Secret Value.
1) Parse the Encapsulated Data ( R_(b,S) , H ) and extract R_(b,S)
and H.
2) Compute w := < R_(b,S) , K_(b,S) >. Note that by bilinearity w
= g^r.
3) Compute SSV = H xor HashToIntegerRange( w, 2^n, Hash ).
4) Compute r = HashToIntegerRange( SSV || b , q , Hash ).
5) Compute TEST = [r]([b]P + Z_S) in E(F_p). If TEST does not
equal R_(b,S) then B MUST NOT use the SSV to derive key
material.
6) Output SSV for use to derive key material for the application
to be keyed.
6.3. Group Communications
The SAKKE scheme can be used to exchange Shared Secret Values for
group communications. To provide a Shared Secret to multiple
Groves Informational [Page 12]
Internet Draft draft-groves-sakke-03 Oct 27, 2011
Receivers, a Sender MUST form Encapsulated Data for each of their
Identifiers, and transmit the appropriate data to each Receiver. Any
party possessing the group Shared Secret Value MAY extend the group
by forming Encapsulated Data for a new group member.
Whilst the Sender needs to form multiple Encapsulated Data, the fact
that the sending operation avoids pairings means that the extension
to multiple Receivers can be carried out more efficiently than for
alternative IBE schemes which require the Sender to compute a
pairing.
7. Security Considerations
This document describes the SAKKE cryptographic algorithm. We assume
that the security provided by this algorithm depends entirely on the
secrecy of the secret keys it uses, and that for an adversary to
defeat this security, he will need to perform computationally
intensive cryptanalytic attacks to recover a secret key. Note that a
security proof exists for SAKKE in the Random Oracle Model [SK-KEM].
When defining public parameters, guidance on parameter sizes from
[SP800-57] SHOULD be followed. Note that the size of the F_p^2
discrete logarithm on which the security rests is 2*lg(p). Table 1
shows bits of security afforded by various sizes of p. If k bits of
security are needed, then lg(q) SHOULD be chosen to be at least 2*k.
Similarly, if k bits of security are needed, then a Hash with output
size at least 2*k SHOULD be chosen.
Bits of Security | lg(p)
-------------------------
80 | 512
112 | 1024
128 | 1536
192 | 3840
256 | 7680
Table 1: Comparable strengths, taken from Table 2 of [SP800-57]
The KMS Master Secret provides the security for each device
provisioned by the KMS. It MUST NOT be revealed to any other
entity. Each user's Receiver Secret Key protects the SAKKE
communications it receives. This key MUST NOT be revealed to any
other entity than the trusted KMS and the authorised user.
In order to ensure that the Receiver Secret Key is received only by
an authorised device, it MUST be provided through a secure channel.
The security offered by this system is no greater than the security
provided by this delivery channel.
Note that IBE systems have different properties than other asymmetric
Groves Informational [Page 13]
Internet Draft draft-groves-sakke-03 Oct 27, 2011
cryptographic schemes with regards to key recovery. The KMS (and
hence any administrator with appropriate privileges) can create
Receiver Secret Keys for arbitrary Identifiers, and procedures to
monitor the creation of Receiver Secret Keys such as logging of
administrator actions SHOULD be defined by any functioning
implementation of SAKKE.
Identifiers MUST be defined unambiguously by each application of
SAKKE. Note that it is not necessary to hash the data in a format
for Identifiers (except in the case where its size would be greater
than that of q). In this way any weaknesses that might be caused by
collisions in hash functions can be avoided without reliance on the
structure of the Identifier format. Applications of SAKKE MAY
include a time/date component in their Identifier format to ensure
that Identifiers (and hence Receiver Secret Keys) are only valid for
a fixed period of time.
The randomness of values stipulated to be selected at random in SAKKE
described in this document is essential to the security provided by
SAKKE. If the ephemeral value r selected by the Sender is not chosen
at random then the SSV, which is used to provide key material for
further communications, could be predictable. Guidance on the
generation of random values for security can be found in [RFC4086].

Appendix A. Test Data
This appendix provides test data for SAKKE with the public parameters
defined in Appendix A of [MIKEY-SAKKE]. "b" represents the
Identifier of the Responder. The value "mask" is the value used to
mask the SSV, and is defined to be HashToIntegerRange( g^r, 2^n, Hash
).
