Abstract
This document describes eight Diffie-Hellman groups that can be used
in conjunction with IETF protocols to provide security for Internet
communications. The groups allow implementers to use the same groups
with a variety of security protocols, e.g., SMIME, SSH, TLS, and IKE.
All of these groups comply in form and structure with relevant
standards from ISO, ANSI, NIST and the IEEE. These groups are

Internet-Draft draft-lepinski-dh-groups-03 November 2007
compatible with all IETF standards that make use of Diffie-Hellman or
Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman crypto.
These groups and the associated test data are defined by NIST on
their web site [EX80056A], but have not yet (as of this writing) been
published in a formal NIST document. Publication of these groups and
associated test data as an RFC will facilitate development of
interoperable implementations and support FIPS validation of
implementations that make use of these groups.

1. Introduction
This document provides parameters and test data for several Diffie-
Hellman (D-H) groups that can be used with IETF protocols that employ
D-H keys, (e.g., IKE, TLS, SSH, and SMIME) and with IETF standards
such as PKIX (for certificates that carry D-H keys). These groups
complement others already documented for the IETF, including the
"Oakley" groups defined in RFC 2409 [RFC2409] for use with IKEv1, and
several additional D-H groups defined later, e.g., [RFC3526] and
[RFC4492].
The initial impetus for the definition of D-H groups (in the IETF)
arose in the IPsec (IKE) context, because of the use of an ephemeral,
unauthenticated D-H exchange as the starting point for that protocol.
RFC 2409 defined five standard Oakley Groups: three modular
exponentiation groups and two elliptic curve groups over GF[2^N]. One
modular exponentiation group (768 bits - Oakley Group 1) was declared
to be mandatory for all IKEv1 implementations to support, while the
other four were optional. Sixteen additional groups subsequently
have been defined and registered with IANA for use with IKEv1,
including eight that have also been registered for use with IKEv2.
All of these additional groups are optional in the IKE context. Of
the twenty-one groups defined so far for use with IKE, eight are MODP
groups (exponentiation groups modulo a prime), ten are EC2N groups
(elliptic curve groups over GF[2^N]) and three are ECP groups
(elliptic curve groups over GF[P]).
The purpose of this document is to provide the parameters and test
data for eight additional groups, in a format consistent with
existing RFCs, along with instructions on how these groups can be
used with IETF protocols such as SMIME, SSH, TLS, and IKE. Three of
these groups were previously specified for use with IKE [RFC4753],
and five of these groups were previously specified for use with TLS
[RFC4492]. (The latter document does not provide or reference test
data for the specified groups). By combining the specification of all
eight groups with test data and instructions for use in a variety of
protocols, this document serves as a resource for implementers who
may wish to offer the same Diffie-Hellman groups for use with
multiple IETF protocols.

All of these groups are compatible with applicable ISO [ISO-14888-3],
ANSI [X9.62], and NIST [NIST80056A] standards for Diffie-Hellman key
exchange. These groups and the associated test data are defined by
NIST on their web site [EX80056A], but have not yet (as of this
writing) been published in a formal NIST document. Publication of
these groups with associated test data as an RFC will facilitate
development of interoperable implementations and support FIPS
validation of implementations that make use of these groups.
2. Additional Diffie-Hellman Groups
This section contains the specification for 8 groups for use in IKE,
TLS, SSH, etc. There are three standard prime modulus groups and five
elliptic curve groups. All groups were taken from publications of
the National Institute of Standards and Technology, specifically
[DSS] and [NIST80056A]. Test data for each group is provided in
Appendix A.

3. Using these Groups with IETF Standards
3.1. X.509 Certificates
Representation of both MODP and Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman public
keys (and associated parameters) in X.509 certificates is defined in
[RFC3279]. The MODP groups defined above MUST be represented via the
syntax defined in Section 2.3.3, and the elliptic curve groups via
the syntax defined in Section in 2.3.5 of that RFC. When a Diffie-
Hellman public key is encoded in a certificate, if the KeyUsage
extension is present, the keyAgreement bits MUST be asserted, and
encipherOnly or decipherOnly (but not both) MAY be asserted.
3.2. IKE
Use of MODP Diffie-Hellman groups with IKEv2 is defined in [RFC4306]
and the use of MODP groups with IKEv1 is defined in [RFC2409].
However, in the case of ECP Diffie-Hellman groups, the format of
key exchange payloads and the derivation of a shared secret has
thus far been specified on a group-by-group basis. For the ECP
Diffie-Hellman groups defined in this document, the key exchange
payload format and shared key derivation procedure specified in
[RFC4753] MUST be used (with both IKEv2 and IKEv1).
To enable use of these additional groups in IKE, it is required that
IANA update the registries of Diffie-Hellman groups (for both
versions of IKE) to include five of the groups defined above (for
which no group numbers were previously assigned). Section 6 details
the required IANA actions. The following table provides the Transform
IDs of each of the Diffie-Hellman groups as registered in both [IANA-
IKE] and [IANA-IKE2].

3.3. TLS
Use of MODP Diffie-Hellman groups in TLS 1.1 is defined in [RFC4346].
TLS 1.0, the widely deployed predecessor of TLS 1.1, is specified in
[RFC2246] and is the same as TLS 1.1 with respect to the use of
(MODP) Diffie-Hellman to compute a pre-Master secret. (Currently, the
TLS working group is in the process of producing a specification for
TLS 1.2. It is unlikely that TLS 1.2 will make significant changes to
the use of Diffie-Hellman, and thus the following will likely also be
applicable to TLS 1.2.)
A server may employ a certificate containing (fixed) Diffie-Hellman
parameters, and likewise for a client using a certificate. Thus the
relevant PKIX RFCs (see 3.1 above) are applicable. Alternatively, a
server may send ephemeral Diffie-Hellman parameters in the server key
exchange message, where the message signature is verified using an
RSA or DSS-signed server certificate. The details for accomplishing
this for MODP Diffie-Hellman groups are provided in [RFC2246].
Use of Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman in TLS 1.1 (and 1.0) is defined
in [RFC4492]. The Elliptic Curves in this document appear in the IANA
EC Named Curve Registry [IANA-TLS], although the names in the
registry are taken from the SECG specification [SECG] and differ from
the names appearing in NIST publications. The following table
provides the EC Named Curve ID for each of the elliptic curves along
with both the NIST name and the SECG name for the curve.

3.4. SSH
Use of Diffie-Hellman with SSH was defined initially in [RFC4253].
That RFC defined two MODP Diffie-Hellman groups, and called for
registration of additional groups via an IANA registry. However,
[RFC4419] extended the original model to allow MODP Diffie-Hellman
parameters to be transmitted as part of the key exchange messages.
Thus, using RFC 4419, no additional specifications (or IANA registry
actions) are required to enable use of the MODP groups defined in
this document. At this time no RFC describes use of Elliptic Curve
Diffie-Hellman with SSH. However, the Internet Draft [SSH-ECC],
currently a work in progress, provides a description of how to make
use of Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman with SSH.
3.5. SMIME
Use of Diffie-Hellman in SMIME is defined via a discussion of CMS
enveloped data [RFC3852]. For MODP Diffie-Hellman, the appropriate
reference is [RFC2631]. This specification calls for a sender to
extract the Diffie-Hellman (MODP) parameters from a recipient's
certificate, and thus the PKIX specifications for representation of
Diffie-Hellman parameters suffice. The sender transmits his public
key via the OriginatorIdentifierorKey field, or via a reference to
the sender's certificate.
Use of Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman in CMS is defined in [RFC3278].
As with use of MODP Diffie-Hellman in the CMS context, the sender is
assumed to acquire the recipients public key and parameters from a
certificate. The sender includes his Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman
public key in the KeyAgreeRecipientInfo originator field. (See
Section 8.2 of RFC 3278 for details of the ECC-CMS-SharedInfo.)
4. Security Considerations
The strength of a key derived from a Diffie-Hellman exchange using
any of the groups defined here depends on the inherent strength of
the group, the size of the exponent used, and the entropy provided by
the random number generator used. The groups defined in this document
were chosen to make the work factor for solving the discrete
logarithm problem roughly comparable to an attack on the subgroup.
Using secret keys of an appropriate size is crucial to the security
of a Diffie-Hellman exchange. For modular exponentiation groups the
size of the secret key should be equal to the size of q (the size of
the prime order subgroup). 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
Lepinski and Kent Expires May 2008 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft draft-lepinski-dh-groups-03 November 2007
absolutely no additional security and using smaller secret keys is
likely to result in dramatically less security. (See [NIST80056A] for
more information on selecting secret keys.)
When secret keys of an appropriate size are used, an approximation of
the strength of each of the Diffie-Hellman groups is provided in the
table below. For each group, the table contains an RSA key size and
symmetric key size that provide roughly equivalent levels of
security. This data is based on the recommendations in [NIST80057].

1024-bit MODP with 160-bit Prime Subgroup | 80 | 1024
2048-bit MODP with 224-bit Prime Subgroup | 112 | 2048
2048-bit MODP with 256-bit Prime Subgroup | 112 | 2048
192-bit Random ECP Group | 80 | 1024
224-bit Random ECP Group | 112 | 2048
256-bit Random ECP Group | 128 | 3072
384-bit Random ECP Group | 192 | 7680
521-bit Random ECP Group | 256 | 15360
5. IANA Considerations
When this document becomes an RFC, the following actions are required
of IANA:
Update the IKE and IKEv2 registries to include the following five
groups defined in this document: (Note that the other three ECP
groups defined in this document have already been added to the IKE
registry.)
o 1024-bit MODP Group with 160-bit Prime Order Subgroup
o 2048-bit MODP Group with 224-bit Prime Order Subgroup
o 2048-bit MODP Group with 256-bit Prime Order Subgroup
o 192-bit Random ECP Group
o 224-bit Random ECP Group
In [IANA-IKE] and [IANA-IKE2], the groups are to appear as new
entries in the list of Diffie-Hellman groups given by Group
Description. The descriptions are to be as stated above. These values
are then to be filled into the table in Section 3.2 of this document.
