Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman Over COSE (EDHOC)
draft-ietf-lake-edhoc-03
Abstract
This document specifies Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman Over COSE (EDHOC), a
very compact, and lightweight authenticated Diffie-Hellman key
exchange with ephemeral keys. EDHOC provides mutual authentication,
perfect forward secrecy, and identity protection. EDHOC is intended
for usage in constrained scenarios and a main use case is to
establish an OSCORE security context. By reusing COSE for
cryptography, CBOR for encoding, and CoAP for transport, the
additional code size can be kept very low.

1. Introduction
Security at the application layer provides an attractive option for
protecting Internet of Things (IoT) deployments, for example where
protection needs to work over a variety of underlying protocols. IoT
devices may be constrained in various ways, including memory,
storage, processing capacity, and energy [RFC7228]. A method for
protecting individual messages at the application layer suitable for
constrained devices, is provided by CBOR Object Signing and
Encryption (COSE) [RFC8152]), which builds on the Concise Binary
Object Representation (CBOR) [RFC8949]. Object Security for
Constrained RESTful Environments (OSCORE) [RFC8613] is a method for
application-layer protection of the Constrained Application Protocol
(CoAP), using COSE.
In order for a communication session to provide forward secrecy, the
communicating parties can run an Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH)
key exchange protocol with ephemeral keys, from which shared key
material can be derived. This document specifies Ephemeral Diffie-
Hellman Over COSE (EDHOC), a lightweight key exchange protocol
providing perfect forward secrecy and identity protection.
Authentication is based on credentials established out of band, e.g.
from a trusted third party, such as an Authorization Server as
specified by [I-D.ietf-ace-oauth-authz]. The construction provided
by EDHOC can be applied to authenticate raw public keys (RPK) and
public key certificates. This version of the protocol is focusing on
RPK and certificates by reference which is the initial focus for the
LAKE WG (see Section 2.2 of [I-D.ietf-lake-reqs]).
After successful completion of the EDHOC protocol, application keys
and other application specific data can be derived using the EDHOC-
Exporter interface. A main use case for EDHOC is to establish an
OSCORE security context. EDHOC uses COSE for cryptography, CBOR for
Selander, et al. Expires June 21, 2021 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman Over COSE (EDHOC) December 2020
encoding, and CoAP for transport. By reusing existing libraries, the
additional code footprint can be kept very low.
EDHOC is designed for highly constrained settings making it
especially suitable for low-power wide area networks [RFC8376] such
as Cellular IoT, 6TiSCH, and LoRaWAN. Compared to the DTLS 1.3
handshake [I-D.ietf-tls-dtls13] with ECDH and connection ID, the
number of bytes in EDHOC + CoAP can be less than 1/6 when RPK
authentication is used, see
[I-D.ietf-lwig-security-protocol-comparison]. Figure 1 shows two
examples of message sizes for EDHOC with different kinds of
authentication keys and different COSE header parameters for
identification: static Diffie-Hellman keys identified by 'kid'
[RFC8152], and X.509 signature certificates identified by a hash
value using 'x5t' [I-D.ietf-cose-x509]. Further reductions of
message sizes are possible, for example by eliding redundant length
indications.

Total 103 245
=================================
Figure 1: Example of message sizes in bytes.
The ECDH exchange and the key derivation follow known protocol
constructions such as [SIGMA], NIST SP-800-56A [SP-800-56A], and
Extract-and-Expand [RFC5869]. CBOR [RFC8949] and COSE [RFC8152] are
used to implement these standards. The use of COSE provides crypto
agility and enables use of future algorithms and headers designed for
constrained IoT.
This document is organized as follows: Section 2 describes how EDHOC
authenticated with digital signatures builds on SIGMA-I, Section 3
specifies general properties of EDHOC, including message flow and
formatting of the ephemeral public keys, Section 4 specifies the key
derivation, Section 5 specifies EDHOC with signature key and static
Diffie-Hellman key authentication, Section 6 specifies the EDHOC
error message, and Section 7 describes how EDHOC can be transferred
in CoAP and used to establish an OSCORE security context.

Internet-Draft Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman Over COSE (EDHOC) December 2020
1.1. Rationale for EDHOC
Many constrained IoT systems today do not use any security at all,
and when they do, they often do not follow best practices. One
reason is that many current security protocols are not designed with
constrained IoT in mind. Constrained IoT systems often deal with
personal information, valuable business data, and actuators
interacting with the physical world. Not only do such systems need
security and privacy, they often need end-to-end protection with
source authentication and perfect forward secrecy. EDHOC and OSCORE
[RFC8613] enables security following current best practices to
devices and systems where current security protocols are impractical.
EDHOC is optimized for small message sizes and can therefore be sent
over a small number of radio frames. The message size of a key
exchange protocol may have a large impact on the performance of an
IoT deployment, especially in constrained environments. For example,
in a network bootstrapping setting a large number of devices turned
on in a short period of time may result in large latencies caused by
parallel key exchanges. Requirements on network formation time in
constrained environments can be translated into key exchange
overhead. In network technologies with duty cycle, each additional
frame significantly increases the latency even if no other devices
are transmitting.
Power consumption for wireless devices is highly dependent on message
transmission, listening, and reception. For devices that only send a
few bytes occasionally, the battery lifetime may be impacted by a
heavy key exchange protocol. A key exchange may need to be executed
more than once, e.g. due to a device rebooting or for security
reasons such as perfect forward secrecy.
EDHOC is adapted to primitives and protocols designed for the
Internet of Things: EDHOC is built on CBOR and COSE which enables
small message overhead and efficient parsing in constrained devices.
EDHOC is not bound to a particular transport layer, but it is
recommended to transport the EDHOC message in CoAP payloads. EDHOC
is not bound to a particular communication security protocol but
works off-the-shelf with OSCORE [RFC8613] providing the necessary
input parameters with required properties. Maximum code complexity
(ROM/Flash) is often a constraint in many devices and by reusing
already existing libraries, the additional code footprint for EDHOC +
OSCORE can be kept very low.

Internet-Draft Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman Over COSE (EDHOC) December 2020
1.2. Use of EDHOC
EDHOC is designed as a lightweight AKE for OSCORE, i.e. to provide
authentication and session key establishment for IoT use cases such
as those built on CoAP [RFC7252]. CoAP is a specialized web transfer
protocol for use with constrained nodes and networks, providing a
request/response interaction model between application endpoints. As
such, EDHOC is targeting a large variety of use cases involving
'things' with embedded microcontrollers, sensors and actuators.
A typical setting is when one of the endpoints is constrained or in a
constrained network, and the other endpoint is a node on the Internet
(such as a mobile phone) or at the edge of the constrained network
(such as a gateway). Thing-to-thing interactions over constrained
networks are also relevant since both endpoints would then benefit
from the lightweight properties of the protocol. EDHOC could e.g. be
run when a device/device(s) connect(s) for the first time, or to
establish fresh keys which are not compromised by a later compromise
of the long-term keys. (Further security properties are described in
Section 8.1.)
1.3. Terminology and Requirements Language
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP
14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.
Readers are expected to be familiar with the terms and concepts
described in CBOR [RFC8949], CBOR Sequences [RFC8742], COSE
[RFC8152], and CDDL [RFC8610]. The Concise Data Definition Language
(CDDL) is used to express CBOR data structures [RFC8949]. Examples
of CBOR and CDDL are provided in Appendix A.1.
2. EDHOC Outline
EDHOC specifies different authentication methods of the Diffie-
Hellman key exchange: digital signatures and static Diffie-Hellman
keys. This section outlines the digital signature based method.
Further details of protocol elements and other authentication methods
are provided in the remainder of this document.
SIGMA (SIGn-and-MAc) is a family of theoretical protocols with a
large number of variants [SIGMA]. Like IKEv2 [RFC7296] and (D)TLS
1.3 [RFC8446], EDHOC authenticated with digital signatures is built
on a variant of the SIGMA protocol which provide identity protection
of the initiator (SIGMA-I), and like IKEv2 [RFC7296], EDHOC
Selander, et al. Expires June 21, 2021 [Page 6]

implements the SIGMA-I variant as MAC-then-Sign. The SIGMA-I
protocol using an authenticated encryption algorithm is shown in

Figure 2: Authenticated encryption variant of the SIGMA-I protocol.
The parties exchanging messages are called Initiator (I) and
Responder (R). They exchange ephemeral public keys, compute the
shared secret, and derive symmetric application keys.
o G_X and G_Y are the ECDH ephemeral public keys of I and R,
respectively.
o CRED_I and CRED_R are the credentials containing the public
authentication keys of I and R, respectively.
o ID_CRED_I and ID_CRED_R are data enabling the recipient party to
retrieve the credential of I and R, respectively.
o Sig(I; . ) and S(R; . ) denote signatures made with the private
authentication key of I and R, respectively.
o AEAD(K; . ) denotes authenticated encryption with additional data
using a key K derived from the shared secret.
In order to create a "full-fledged" protocol some additional protocol
elements are needed. EDHOC adds:
o Explicit connection identifiers C_I, C_R chosen by I and R,
respectively, enabling the recipient to find the protocol state.
o Transcript hashes (hashes of message data) TH_2, TH_3, TH_4 used
for key derivation and as additional authenticated data.
o Computationally independent keys derived from the ECDH shared
secret and used for authenticated encryption of different
messages.

o Verification of a common preferred cipher suite:
* The Initiator lists supported cipher suites in order of
preference
* The Responder verifies that the selected cipher suite is the
first supported cipher suite
o Method types and error handling.
o Transport of opaque auxiliary data.
EDHOC is designed to encrypt and integrity protect as much
information as possible, and all symmetric keys are derived using as
much previous information as possible. EDHOC is furthermore designed
to be as compact and lightweight as possible, in terms of message
sizes, processing, and the ability to reuse already existing CBOR,
COSE, and CoAP libraries.
To simplify for implementors, the use of CBOR and COSE in EDHOC is
summarized in Appendix A and test vectors including CBOR diagnostic
notation are given in Appendix B.
3. Protocol Elements
3.1. General
EDHOC consists of three messages (message_1, message_2, message_3)
between Initiator and Responder, plus an EDHOC error message. EDHOC
messages are CBOR Sequences [RFC8742], see Figure 3. The protocol
elements in the figure are introduced in the following sections.
Message formatting and processing is specified in Section 5 and
Section 6. An implementation may support only Initiator or only
Responder.
Application data is protected using the agreed application algorithms
(AEAD, hash) in the selected cipher suite (see Section 3.4) and the
application can make use of the established connection identifiers
C_I and C_R (see Section 3.2.4). EDHOC may be used with the media
type application/edhoc defined in Section 9.
The Initiator can derive symmetric application keys after creating
EDHOC message_3, see Section 4.1. Application protected data can
therefore be sent in parallel with EDHOC message_3, optionally in the
same CoAP message [I-D.palombini-core-oscore-edhoc].

3.2. Method and Correlation
The first data item of message_1, METHOD_CORR (see Section 5.2.1), is
an integer specifying the method and the correlation properties of
the transport, which are described in this section.
3.2.1. Method
EDHOC supports authentication with signature or static Diffie-Hellman
keys, as defined in the four authentication methods: 0, 1, 2, and 3,
see Figure 4. (Method 0 corresponds to the case outlined in
Section 2 where both Initiator and Responder authenticate with
signature keys.)
An implementation may support only a single method. The Initiator
and the Responder need to have agreed on a single method to be used
for EDHOC, see Appendix C.

Selander, et al. Expires June 21, 2021 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman Over COSE (EDHOC) December 2020
3.2.2. Connection Identifiers
EDHOC includes connection identifiers (C_I, C_R) to correlate
messages. The connection identifiers C_I and C_R do not have any
cryptographic purpose in EDHOC. They contain information
facilitating retrieval of the protocol state and may therefore be
very short. One byte connection identifiers are realistic in many
scenarios as most constrained devices only have a few connections.
In cases where a node only has one connection, the identifiers may
even be the empty byte string.
The connection identifier MAY be used with an application protocol
(e.g. OSCORE) for which EDHOC establishes keys, in which case the
connection identifiers SHALL adhere to the requirements for that
protocol. Each party choses a connection identifier it desires the
other party to use in outgoing messages. (For OSCORE this results in
the endpoint selecting its Recipient ID, see Section 3.1 of
[RFC8613]).
3.2.3. Transport
Cryptographically, EDHOC does not put requirements on the lower
layers. EDHOC is not bound to a particular transport layer, and can
be used in environments without IP. The transport is responsible to
handle message loss, reordering, message duplication, fragmentation,
and denial of service protection, where necessary.
The Initiator and the Responder need to have agreed on a transport to
be used for EDHOC, see Appendix C. It is recommended to transport
EDHOC in CoAP payloads, see Section 7.
3.2.4. Message Correlation
If the transport provides a mechanism for correlating messages, some
of the connection identifiers may be omitted. There are four cases:
o corr = 0, the transport does not provide a correlation mechanism.
o corr = 1, the transport provides a correlation mechanism that
enables the Responder to correlate message_2 and message_1.
o corr = 2, the transport provides a correlation mechanism that
enables the Initiator to correlate message_3 and message_2.
o corr = 3, the transport provides a correlation mechanism that
enables both parties to correlate all three messages.
Selander, et al. Expires June 21, 2021 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman Over COSE (EDHOC) December 2020
For example, if the key exchange is transported over CoAP, the CoAP
Token can be used to correlate messages, see Section 7.1.
3.3. Authentication Parameters
3.3.1. Authentication Keys
The authentication key MUST be a signature key or static Diffie-
Hellman key. The Initiator and the Responder MAY use different types
of authentication keys, e.g. one uses a signature key and the other
uses a static Diffie-Hellman key. When using a signature key, the
authentication is provided by a signature. When using a static
Diffie-Hellman key the authentication is provided by a Message
Authentication Code (MAC) computed from an ephemeral-static ECDH
shared secret which enables significant reductions in message sizes.
The MAC is implemented with an AEAD algorithm. When using a static
Diffie-Hellman keys the Initiator's and Responder's private
authentication keys are called I and R, respectively, and the public
authentication keys are called G_I and G_R, respectively.
o Only the Responder SHALL have access to the Responder's private
authentication key.
o Only the Initiator SHALL have access to the Initiator's private
authentication key.
3.3.2. Identities
EDHOC assumes the existence of mechanisms (certification authority,
trusted third party, manual distribution, etc.) for specifying and
distributing authentication keys and identities. Policies are set
based on the identity of the other party, and parties typically only
allow connections from a specific identity or a small restricted set
of identities. For example, in the case of a device connecting to a
network, the network may only allow connections from devices which
authenticate with certificates having a particular range of serial
numbers in the subject field and signed by a particular CA. On the
other side, the device may only be allowed to connect to a network
which authenticate with a particular public key (information of which
may be provisioned, e.g., out of band or in the Auxiliary Data, see
Section 3.6).
The EDHOC implementation must be able to receive and enforce
information from the application about what is the intended peer
endpoint, and in particular whether it is a specific identity or a
set of identities.
Selander, et al. Expires June 21, 2021 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman Over COSE (EDHOC) December 2020
o When a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is used, the trust anchor
is a Certification Authority (CA) certificate, and the identity is
the subject whose unique name (e.g. a domain name, NAI, or EUI) is
included in the endpoint's certificate. Before running EDHOC each
party needs at least one CA public key certificate, or just the
public key, and a specific identity or set of identities it is
allowed to communicate with. Only validated public-key
certificates with an allowed subject name, as specified by the
application, are to be accepted. EDHOC provides proof that the
other party possesses the private authentication key corresponding
to the public authentication key in its certificate. The
certification path provides proof that the subject of the
certificate owns the public key in the certificate.
o When public keys are used but not with a PKI (RPK, self-signed
certificate), the trust anchor is the public authentication key of
the other party. In this case, the identity is typically directly
associated to the public authentication key of the other party.
For example, the name of the subject may be a canonical
representation of the public key. Alternatively, if identities
can be expressed in the form of unique subject names assigned to
public keys, then a binding to identity can be achieved by
including both public key and associated subject name in the
protocol message computation: CRED_I or CRED_R may be a self-
signed certificate or COSE_Key containing the public
authentication key and the subject name, see Section 3.3.3.
Before running EDHOC, each endpoint needs a specific public
authentication key/unique associated subject name, or a set of
public authentication keys/unique associated subject names, which
it is allowed to communicate with. EDHOC provides proof that the
other party possesses the private authentication key corresponding
to the public authentication key.
3.3.3. Authentication Credentials
The authentication credentials, CRED_I and CRED_R, contain the public
authentication key of the Initiator and the Responder, respectively.
The Initiator and the Responder MAY use different types of
credentials, e.g. one uses an RPK and the other uses a public key
certificate.
The credentials CRED_I and CRED_R are signed or MAC:ed (depending on
method) by the Initiator and the Responder, respectively, see
Section 5.4 and Section 5.3.
When the credential is a certificate, CRED_x is an end-entity
certificate (i.e. not the certificate chain) encoded as a CBOR bstr.
In X.509 certificates, signature keys typically have key usage
Selander, et al. Expires June 21, 2021 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman Over COSE (EDHOC) December 2020
"digitalSignature" and Diffie-Hellman keys typically have key usage
"keyAgreement"
When the credential is a COSE_Key, CRED_x is a CBOR map only
containing specific fields from the COSE_Key:
o For COSE_Keys of type OKP the CBOR map SHALL only include the
parameters 1 (kty), -1 (crv), and -2 (x-coordinate).
o For COSE_Keys of type EC2 the CBOR map SHALL only include the
parameters 1 (kty), -1 (crv), -2 (x-coordinate), and -3
(y-coordinate).
To prevent misbinding attacks in systems where an attacker can
register public keys without proving knowledge of the private key,
SIGMA [SIGMA] enforces a MAC to be calculated over the "Identity",
which in case of a X.509 certificate would be the 'subject' and
'subjectAltName' fields. EDHOC follows SIGMA by calculating a MAC
over the whole certificate. While SIGMA paper only focuses on the
identity, the same principle is true for any information such as
policies connected to the public key.
If the parties have agreed on an identity besides the public key, the
identity is included in the CBOR map with the label "subject name",
otherwise the subject name is the empty text string. The parameters
SHALL be encoded in decreasing order with int labels first and text
string labels last. An example of CRED_x when the RPK contains an
X25519 static Diffie-Hellman key and the parties have agreed on an
EUI-64 identity is shown below:
CRED_x = {
1: 1,
-1: 4,
-2: h'b1a3e89460e88d3a8d54211dc95f0b90
3ff205eb71912d6db8f4af980d2db83a',
"subject name" : "42-50-31-FF-EF-37-32-39"
}
3.3.4. Identification of Credentials
ID_CRED_I and ID_CRED_R are identifiers of the public authentication
keys of the Initiator and the Responder, respectively. ID_CRED_I and
ID_CRED_R do not have any cryptographic purpose in EDHOC.
o ID_CRED_R is intended to facilitate for the Initiator to retrieve
the Responder's public authentication key.
Selander, et al. Expires June 21, 2021 [Page 13]
Internet-Draft Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman Over COSE (EDHOC) December 2020
o ID_CRED_I is intended to facilitate for the Responder to retrieve
the Initiator's public authentication key.
The identifiers ID_CRED_I and ID_CRED_R are COSE header_maps, i.e.
CBOR maps containing COSE Common Header Parameters, see Section 3.1
of [RFC8152]). In the following we give some examples of COSE
header_maps.
Raw public keys are most optimally stored as COSE_Key objects and
identified with a 'kid' parameter:
o ID_CRED_x = { 4 : kid_x }, where kid_x : bstr, for x = I or R.
Public key certificates can be identified in different ways. Header
parameters for identifying X.509 certificates are defined in
[I-D.ietf-cose-x509], for example:
o by a hash value with the 'x5t' parameter;
* ID_CRED_x = { 34 : COSE_CertHash }, for x = I or R,
o by a URL with the 'x5u' parameter;
* ID_CRED_x = { 35 : uri }, for x = I or R,
ID_CRED_x MAY contain the actual credential used for authentication,
CRED_x. It is RECOMMENDED that they uniquely identify the public
authentication key as the recipient may otherwise have to try several
keys. ID_CRED_I and ID_CRED_R are transported in the ciphertext, see
Section 5.4 and Section 5.3.
When ID_CRED_x does not contain the actual credential it may be very
short. One byte credential identifiers are realistic in many
scenarios as most constrained devices only have a few keys. In cases
where a node only has one key, the identifier may even be the empty
byte string.
3.4. Cipher Suites
An EDHOC cipher suite consists of an ordered set of COSE code points
from the "COSE Algorithms" and "COSE Elliptic Curves" registries:
o EDHOC AEAD algorithm
o EDHOC hash algorithm
o EDHOC ECDH curve
Selander, et al. Expires June 21, 2021 [Page 14]
Internet-Draft Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman Over COSE (EDHOC) December 2020
o EDHOC signature algorithm
o EDHOC signature algorithm curve
o Application AEAD algorithm
o Application hash algorithm
Each cipher suite is identified with a pre-defined int label.
EDHOC can be used with all algorithms and curves defined for COSE.
Implementation can either use one of the pre-defined cipher suites
(Section 9.1) or use any combination of COSE algorithms to define
their own private cipher suite. Private cipher suites can be
identified with any of the four values -24, -23, -22, -21.
The following cipher suites are for constrained IoT where message
overhead is a very important factor:
0. ( 10, -16, 4, -8, 6, 10, -16 )
(AES-CCM-16-64-128, SHA-256, X25519, EdDSA, Ed25519,
AES-CCM-16-64-128, SHA-256)
1. ( 30, -16, 4, -8, 6, 10, -16 )
(AES-CCM-16-128-128, SHA-256, X25519, EdDSA, Ed25519,
AES-CCM-16-64-128, SHA-256)
2. ( 10, -16, 1, -7, 1, 10, -16 )
(AES-CCM-16-64-128, SHA-256, P-256, ES256, P-256,
AES-CCM-16-64-128, SHA-256)
3. ( 30, -16, 1, -7, 1, 10, -16 )
(AES-CCM-16-128-128, SHA-256, P-256, ES256, P-256,
AES-CCM-16-64-128, SHA-256)
The following cipher suite is for general non-constrained
applications. It uses very high performance algorithms that also are
widely supported:
4. ( 1, -16, 4, -7, 1, 1, -16 )
(A128GCM, SHA-256, X25519, ES256, P-256,
A128GCM, SHA-256)
The following cipher suite is for high security application such as
government use and financial applications. It is compatible with the
CNSA suite [CNSA].
Selander, et al. Expires June 21, 2021 [Page 15]
Internet-Draft Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman Over COSE (EDHOC) December 2020
5. ( 3, -43, 2, -35, 2, 3, -43 )
(A256GCM, SHA-384, P-384, ES384, P-384,
A256GCM, SHA-384)
The different methods use the same cipher suites, but some algorithms
are not used in some methods. The EDHOC signature algorithm and the
EDHOC signature algorithm curve are not used in methods without
signature authentication.
The Initiator needs to have a list of cipher suites it supports in
order of preference. The Responder needs to have a list of cipher
suites it supports. SUITES_I is a CBOR array containing cipher
suites that the Initiator supports. SUITES_I is formatted and
processed as detailed in Section 5.2.1 to secure the cipher suite
negotation.
3.5. Ephemeral Public Keys
The ECDH ephemeral public keys are formatted as a COSE_Key of type
EC2 or OKP according to Sections 13.1 and 13.2 of [RFC8152], but only
the 'x' parameter is included G_X and G_Y. For Elliptic Curve Keys
of type EC2, compact representation as per [RFC6090] MAY be used also
in the COSE_Key. If the COSE implementation requires an 'y'
parameter, any of the possible values of the y-coordinate can be
used, see Appendix C of [RFC6090]. COSE [RFC8152] always use compact
output for Elliptic Curve Keys of type EC2.
3.6. Auxiliary Data
In order to reduce round trips and number of messages, and in some
cases also streamline processing, certain security applications may
be integrated into EDHOC by transporting auxiliary data together with
the messages. One example is the transport of third-party
authorization information protected outside of EDHOC
[I-D.selander-ace-ake-authz]. Another example is the embedding of a
certificate enrolment request or a newly issued certificate.
EDHOC allows opaque auxiliary data (AD) to be sent in the EDHOC
messages. Unprotected Auxiliary Data (AD_1, AD_2) may be sent in
message_1 and message_2, respectively. Protected Auxiliary Data
(AD_3) may be sent in message_3.
Since data carried in AD_1 and AD_2 may not be protected, and the
content of AD_3 is available to both the Initiator and the Responder,
special considerations need to be made such that the availability of
the data a) does not violate security and privacy requirements of the
service which uses this data, and b) does not violate the security
properties of EDHOC.
Selander, et al. Expires June 21, 2021 [Page 16]
Internet-Draft Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman Over COSE (EDHOC) December 2020
3.7. Communication of Protocol Features
EDHOC allows the communication or negotiation of various protocol
features during the execution of the protocol.
o The Initiator proposes a cipher suite (see Section 3.4), and the
Responder either accepts or rejects, and may make a counter
proposal.
o The Initiator decides on the correlation parameter corr (see
Section 3.2.4). This is typically given by the transport which
the Initiator and the Responder have agreed on beforehand. The
Responder either accepts or rejects.
o The Initiator decides on the method parameter, see Figure 4. The
Responder either accepts or rejects.
o The Initiator and the Responder decide on the representation of
the identifier of their respective credentials, ID_CRED_I and
ID_CRED_R. The decision is reflected by the label used in the
CBOR map, see for example Section 3.3.4.
Editor's note: This section needs to be aligned with Appendix C.
4. Key Derivation
EDHOC uses Extract-and-Expand [RFC5869] with the EDHOC hash algorithm
in the selected cipher suite to derive keys. Extract is used to
derive fixed-length uniformly pseudorandom keys (PRK) from ECDH
shared secrets. Expand is used to derive additional output keying
material (OKM) from the PRKs. The PRKs are derived using Extract.
PRK = Extract( salt, IKM )
If the EDHOC hash algorithm is SHA-2, then Extract( salt, IKM ) =
HKDF-Extract( salt, IKM ) [RFC5869]. If the EDHOC hash algorithm is
SHAKE128, then Extract( salt, IKM ) = KMAC128( salt, IKM, 256, "" ).
If the EDHOC hash algorithm is SHAKE256, then Extract( salt, IKM ) =
KMAC256( salt, IKM, 512, "" ).
PRK_2e is used to derive key and IV to encrypt message_2. PRK_3e2m
is used to derive keys and IVs produce a MAC in message_2 and to
encrypt message_3. PRK_4x3m is used to derive keys and IVs produce a
MAC in message_3 and to derive application specific data.
PRK_2e is derived with the following input:
Selander, et al. Expires June 21, 2021 [Page 17]
Internet-Draft Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman Over COSE (EDHOC) December 2020
o The salt SHALL be the empty byte string. Note that [RFC5869]
specifies that if the salt is not provided, it is set to a string
of zeros (see Section 2.2 of [RFC5869]). For implementation
purposes, not providing the salt is the same as setting the salt
to the empty byte string.
o The input keying material (IKM) SHALL be the ECDH shared secret
G_XY (calculated from G_X and Y or G_Y and X) as defined in
Section 12.4.1 of [RFC8152].
Example: Assuming the use of SHA-256 the extract phase of HKDF
produces PRK_2e as follows:
PRK_2e = HMAC-SHA-256( salt, G_XY )
where salt = 0x (the empty byte string).
The pseudorandom keys PRK_3e2m and PRK_4x3m are defined as follow:
o If the Responder authenticates with a static Diffie-Hellman key,
then PRK_3e2m = Extract( PRK_2e, G_RX ), where G_RX is the ECDH
shared secret calculated from G_R and X, or G_X and R, else
PRK_3e2m = PRK_2e.
o If the Initiator authenticates with a static Diffie-Hellman key,
then PRK_4x3m = Extract( PRK_3e2m, G_IY ), where G_IY is the ECDH
shared secret calculated from G_I and Y, or G_Y and I, else
PRK_4x3m = PRK_3e2m.
Example: Assuming the use of curve25519, the ECDH shared secrets
G_XY, G_RX, and G_IY are the outputs of the X25519 function
[RFC7748]:
G_XY = X25519( Y, G_X ) = X25519( X, G_Y )
The keys and IVs used in EDHOC are derived from PRK using Expand
[RFC5869] where the EDHOC-KDF is instantiated with the EDHOC AEAD
algorithm in the selected cipher suite.
OKM = EDHOC-KDF( PRK, transcript_hash, label, length )
= Expand( PRK, info, length )
where info is the CBOR encoding of
Selander, et al. Expires June 21, 2021 [Page 18]
Internet-Draft Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman Over COSE (EDHOC) December 2020
info = [
edhoc_aead_id : int / tstr,
transcript_hash : bstr,
label : tstr,
length : uint
]
where
o edhoc_aead_id is an int or tstr containing the algorithm
identifier of the EDHOC AEAD algorithm in the selected cipher
suite encoded as defined in [RFC8152]. Note that a single fixed
edhoc_aead_id is used in all invocations of EDHOC-KDF, including
the derivation of K_2e and invocations of the EDHOC-Exporter.
o transcript_hash is a bstr set to one of the transcript hashes
TH_2, TH_3, or TH_4 as defined in Sections 5.3.1, 5.4.1, and 4.1.
o label is a tstr set to the name of the derived key or IV, i.e.
"K_2m", "IV_2m", "K_2e", "IV_2e", "K_3m", "IV_3m", "K_3ae", or
"IV_3ae".
o length is the length of output keying material (OKM) in bytes
If the EDHOC hash algorithm is SHA-2, then Expand( PRK, info, length
) = HKDF-Expand( PRK, info, length ) [RFC5869]. If the EDHOC hash
algorithm is SHAKE128, then Expand( PRK, info, length ) = KMAC128(
PRK, info, L, "" ). If the EDHOC hash algorithm is SHAKE256, then
Expand( PRK, info, length ) = KMAC256( PRK, info, L, "" ).
K_2e and IV_2e are derived using the transcript hash TH_2 and the
pseudorandom key PRK_2e. K_2m and IV_2m are derived using the
transcript hash TH_2 and the pseudorandom key PRK_3e2m. K_3ae and
IV_3ae are derived using the transcript hash TH_3 and the
pseudorandom key PRK_3e2m. K_3m and IV_3m are derived using the
transcript hash TH_3 and the pseudorandom key PRK_4x3m. IVs are only
used if the EDHOC AEAD algorithm uses IVs.
4.1. EDHOC-Exporter Interface
Application keys and other application specific data can be derived
using the EDHOC-Exporter interface defined as:
EDHOC-Exporter(label, length)
= EDHOC-KDF(PRK_4x3m, TH_4, label, length)
where label is a tstr defined by the application and length is a uint
defined by the application. The label SHALL be different for each
Selander, et al. Expires June 21, 2021 [Page 19]
Internet-Draft Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman Over COSE (EDHOC) December 2020
different exporter value. The transcript hash TH_4 is a CBOR encoded
bstr and the input to the hash function is a CBOR Sequence.
TH_4 = H( TH_3, CIPHERTEXT_3 )
where H() is the hash function in the selected cipher suite. Example
use of the EDHOC-Exporter is given in Sections 7.1.1.
To provide forward secrecy in an even more efficient way than re-
running EDHOC, EDHOC provides the function EDHOC-Exporter-FS. When
EHDOC-Exporter-FS is called the old PRK_4x3m is deleted and the new
PRk_4x3m is calculated as a "hash" of the old key using the Extract
function as illustrated by the following pseudocode:
EHDOC-Exporter-FS( nonce ):
PRK_4x3m = Extract( [ "TH_4", nonce ], PRK_4x3m )
5. Message Formatting and Processing
This section specifies formatting of the messages and processing
steps. Error messages are specified in Section 6.
An EDHOC message is encoded as a sequence of CBOR data (CBOR
Sequence, [RFC8742]). Additional optimizations are made to reduce
message overhead.
While EDHOC uses the COSE_Key, COSE_Sign1, and COSE_Encrypt0
structures, only a subset of the parameters is included in the EDHOC
messages. The unprotected COSE header in COSE_Sign1, and
COSE_Encrypt0 (not included in the EDHOC message) MAY contain
parameters (e.g. 'alg').
5.1. Encoding of bstr_identifier
Byte strings are encoded in CBOR as two or more bytes, whereas
integers in the interval -24 to 23 are encoded in CBOR as one byte.
bstr_identifier is a special encoding of byte strings, used
throughout the protocol to enable the encoding of the shortest byte
strings as integers that only require one byte of CBOR encoding.
The bstr_identifier encoding is defined as follows: Byte strings in
the interval h'00' to h'2f' are encoded as the corresponding integer
minus 24, which are all represented by one byte CBOR ints. Other
byte strings are encoded as CBOR byte strings.
Selander, et al. Expires June 21, 2021 [Page 20]
Internet-Draft Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman Over COSE (EDHOC) December 2020
For example, the byte string h'59e9' encoded as a bstr_identifier is
equal to h'59e9', while the byte string h'2a' is encoded as the
integer 18.
The CDDL definition of the bstr_identifier is given below:
bstr_identifier = bstr / int
Note that, despite what could be interpreted by the CDDL definition
only, bstr_identifier once decoded are always byte strings.
5.2. EDHOC Message 1
5.2.1. Formatting of Message 1
message_1 SHALL be a CBOR Sequence (see Appendix A.1) as defined
below
message_1 = (
METHOD_CORR : int,
SUITES_I : [ selected : suite, supported : 2* suite ] / suite,
G_X : bstr,
C_I : bstr_identifier,
? AD_1 : bstr,
)
suite = int
where:
o METHOD_CORR = 4 * method + corr, where method = 0, 1, 2, or 3 (see
Figure 4) and the correlation parameter corr is chosen based on
the transport and determines which connection identifiers that are
omitted (see Section 3.2.4).
o SUITES_I - cipher suites which the Initiator supports in order of
(decreasing) preference. The list of supported cipher suites can
be truncated at the end, as is detailed in the processing steps
below. One of the supported cipher suites is selected. The
selected suite is the first suite in the SUITES_I CBOR array. If
a single supported cipher suite is conveyed then that cipher suite
is selected and the selected cipher suite is encoded as an int
instead of an array.
o G_X - the ephemeral public key of the Initiator
o C_I - variable length connection identifier, encoded as a
bstr_identifier (see Section 5.1).
Selander, et al. Expires June 21, 2021 [Page 21]
Internet-Draft Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman Over COSE (EDHOC) December 2020
o AD_1 - bstr containing unprotected opaque auxiliary data
5.2.2. Initiator Processing of Message 1
The Initiator SHALL compose message_1 as follows:
o The supported cipher suites and the order of preference MUST NOT
be changed based on previous error messages. However, the list
SUITES_I sent to the Responder MAY be truncated such that cipher
suites which are the least preferred are omitted. The amount of
truncation MAY be changed between sessions, e.g. based on previous
error messages (see next bullet), but all cipher suites which are
more preferred than the least preferred cipher suite in the list
MUST be included in the list.
o Determine the cipher suite to use with the Responder in message_1.
If the Initiator previously received from the Responder an error
message to a message_1 with diagnostic payload identifying a
cipher suite that the Initiator supports, then the Initiator SHALL
use that cipher suite. Otherwise the first supported (i.e. the
most preferred) cipher suite in SUITES_I MUST be used.
o Generate an ephemeral ECDH key pair as specified in Section 5 of
[SP-800-56A] using the curve in the selected cipher suite and
format it as a COSE_Key. Let G_X be the 'x' parameter of the
COSE_Key.
o Choose a connection identifier C_I and store it for the length of
the protocol.
o Encode message_1 as a sequence of CBOR encoded data items as
specified in Section 5.2.1
5.2.3. Responder Processing of Message 1
The Responder SHALL process message_1 as follows:
o Decode message_1 (see Appendix A.1).
o Verify that the selected cipher suite is supported and that no
prior cipher suite in SUITES_I is supported.
o Pass AD_1 to the security application.
If any verification step fails, the Responder MUST send an EDHOC
error message back, formatted as defined in Section 6, and the
protocol MUST be discontinued. If the Responder does not support the
selected cipher suite, then SUITES_R MUST include one or more
Selander, et al. Expires June 21, 2021 [Page 22]
Internet-Draft Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman Over COSE (EDHOC) December 2020
supported cipher suites. If the Responder does not support the
selected cipher suite, but supports another cipher suite in SUITES_I,
then SUITES_R MUST include the first supported cipher suite in
SUITES_I.
5.3. EDHOC Message 2
5.3.1. Formatting of Message 2
message_2 and data_2 SHALL be CBOR Sequences (see Appendix A.1) as
defined below
message_2 = (
data_2,
CIPHERTEXT_2 : bstr,
)
data_2 = (
? C_I : bstr_identifier,
G_Y : bstr,
C_R : bstr_identifier,
)
where:
o G_Y - the ephemeral public key of the Responder
o C_R - variable length connection identifier, encoded as a
bstr_identifier (see Section 5.1).
5.3.2. Responder Processing of Message 2
The Responder SHALL compose message_2 as follows:
o If corr (METHOD_CORR mod 4) equals 1 or 3, C_I is omitted,
otherwise C_I is not omitted.
o Generate an ephemeral ECDH key pair as specified in Section 5 of
[SP-800-56A] using the curve in the selected cipher suite and
format it as a COSE_Key. Let G_Y be the 'x' parameter of the
COSE_Key.
o Choose a connection identifier C_R and store it for the length of
the protocol.
o Compute the transcript hash TH_2 = H(message_1, data_2) where H()
is the hash function in the selected cipher suite. The transcript
Selander, et al. Expires June 21, 2021 [Page 23]
Internet-Draft Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman Over COSE (EDHOC) December 2020
hash TH_2 is a CBOR encoded bstr and the input to the hash
function is a CBOR Sequence.
o Compute an inner COSE_Encrypt0 as defined in Section 5.3 of
[RFC8152], with the EDHOC AEAD algorithm in the selected cipher
suite, K_2m, IV_2m, and the following parameters:
* protected = << ID_CRED_R >>
+ ID_CRED_R - identifier to facilitate retrieval of CRED_R,
see Section 3.3.4
* external_aad = << TH_2, CRED_R, ? AD_2 >>
+ CRED_R - bstr containing the credential of the Responder,
see Section 3.3.4.
+ AD_2 = bstr containing opaque unprotected auxiliary data
* plaintext = h''
COSE constructs the input to the AEAD [RFC5116] as follows:
* Key K = EDHOC-KDF( PRK_3e2m, TH_2, "K_2m", length )
* Nonce N = EDHOC-KDF( PRK_3e2m, TH_2, "IV_2m", length )
* Plaintext P = 0x (the empty string)
* Associated data A =
[ "Encrypt0", << ID_CRED_R >>, << TH_2, CRED_R, ? AD_2 >> ]
MAC_2 is the 'ciphertext' of the inner COSE_Encrypt0.
o If the Responder authenticates with a static Diffie-Hellman key
(method equals 1 or 3), then Signature_or_MAC_2 is MAC_2. If the
Responder authenticates with a signature key (method equals 0 or
2), then Signature_or_MAC_2 is the 'signature' of a COSE_Sign1
object as defined in Section 4.4 of [RFC8152] using the signature
algorithm in the selected cipher suite, the private authentication
key of the Responder, and the following parameters:
* protected = << ID_CRED_R >>
* external_aad = << TH_2, CRED_R, ? AD_2 >>
* payload = MAC_2
Selander, et al. Expires June 21, 2021 [Page 24]
Internet-Draft Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman Over COSE (EDHOC) December 2020
COSE constructs the input to the Signature Algorithm as:
* The key is the private authentication key of the Responder.
* The message M to be signed =
[ "Signature1", << ID_CRED_R >>, << TH_2, CRED_R, ? AD_2 >>,
MAC_2 ]
o Compute an outer COSE_Encrypt0 as defined in Section 5.3 of
[RFC8152], with the EDHOC AEAD algorithm in the selected cipher
suite, K_2e, IV_2e, and the following parameters. The protected
header SHALL be empty.
* plaintext = ( ID_CRED_R / bstr_identifier, Signature_or_MAC_2,
? AD_2 )
+ Note that if ID_CRED_R contains a single 'kid' parameter,
i.e., ID_CRED_R = { 4 : kid_R }, only the byte string kid_R
is conveyed in the plaintext encoded as a bstr_identifier,
see Section 3.3.4 and Section 5.1.
COSE constructs the input to the AEAD [RFC5116] as follows:
* Key K = EDHOC-KDF( PRK_2e, TH_2, "K_2e", length )
* Nonce N = EDHOC-KDF( PRK_2e, TH_2, "IV_2e", length )
* Plaintext P = ( ID_CRED_R / bstr_identifier,
Signature_or_MAC_2, ? AD_2 )
* Associated data A = [ "Encrypt0", h'', TH_2 ]
CIPHERTEXT_2 is the 'ciphertext' of the outer COSE_Encrypt0 with
the tag removed.
o Encode message_2 as a sequence of CBOR encoded data items as
specified in Section 5.3.1.
5.3.3. Initiator Processing of Message 2
The Initiator SHALL process message_2 as follows:
o Decode message_2 (see Appendix A.1).
o Retrieve the protocol state using the connection identifier C_I
and/or other external information such as the CoAP Token and the
5-tuple.
Selander, et al. Expires June 21, 2021 [Page 25]
Internet-Draft Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman Over COSE (EDHOC) December 2020
o Decrypt CIPHERTEXT_2 by computing an outer COSE_Encrypt0 as
defined in see Section 5.3.2 and XORing CIPHERTEXT_2 with the
'ciphertext' of the outer COSE_Encrypt0 with the tag removed.
o Verify that the identity of the Responder is an allowed identity
for this connection, see Section 3.3.
o Verify Signature_or_MAC_2 using the algorithm in the selected
cipher suite. The verification process depends on the method, see
Section 5.3.2.
o Pass AD_2 to the security application.
If any verification step fails, the Responder MUST send an EDHOC
error message back, formatted as defined in Section 6, and the
protocol MUST be discontinued.
5.4. EDHOC Message 3
5.4.1. Formatting of Message 3
message_3 and data_3 SHALL be CBOR Sequences (see Appendix A.1) as
defined below
message_3 = (
data_3,
CIPHERTEXT_3 : bstr,
)
data_3 = (
? C_R : bstr_identifier,
)
5.4.2. Initiator Processing of Message 3
The Initiator SHALL compose message_3 as follows:
o If corr (METHOD_CORR mod 4) equals 2 or 3, C_R is omitted,
otherwise C_R is not omitted.
o Compute the transcript hash TH_3 = H(TH_2 , CIPHERTEXT_2, data_3)
where H() is the hash function in the the selected cipher suite.
The transcript hash TH_3 is a CBOR encoded bstr and the input to
the hash function is a CBOR Sequence.
o Compute an inner COSE_Encrypt0 as defined in Section 5.3 of
[RFC8152], with the EDHOC AEAD algorithm in the selected cipher
suite, K_3m, IV_3m, and the following parameters:
Selander, et al. Expires June 21, 2021 [Page 26]
Internet-Draft Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman Over COSE (EDHOC) December 2020
* protected = << ID_CRED_I >>
+ ID_CRED_I - identifier to facilitate retrieval of CRED_I,
see Section 3.3.4
* external_aad = << TH_3, CRED_I, ? AD_3 >>
+ CRED_I - bstr containing the credential of the Initiator,
see Section 3.3.4.
+ AD_3 = bstr containing opaque protected auxiliary data
* plaintext = h''
COSE constructs the input to the AEAD [RFC5116] as follows:
* Key K = EDHOC-KDF( PRK_4x3m, TH_3, "K_3m", length )
* Nonce N = EDHOC-KDF( PRK_4x3m, TH_3, "IV_3m", length )
* Plaintext P = 0x (the empty string)
* Associated data A =
[ "Encrypt0", << ID_CRED_I >>, << TH_3, CRED_I, ? AD_3 >> ]
MAC_3 is the 'ciphertext' of the inner COSE_Encrypt0.
o If the Initiator authenticates with a static Diffie-Hellman key
(method equals 2 or 3), then Signature_or_MAC_3 is MAC_3. If the
Initiator authenticates with a signature key (method equals 0 or
1), then Signature_or_MAC_3 is the 'signature' of a COSE_Sign1
object as defined in Section 4.4 of [RFC8152] using the signature
algorithm in the selected cipher suite, the private authentication
key of the Initiator, and the following parameters:
* protected = << ID_CRED_I >>
* external_aad = << TH_3, CRED_I, ? AD_3 >>
* payload = MAC_3
COSE constructs the input to the Signature Algorithm as:
* The key is the private authentication key of the Initiator.
* The message M to be signed =
Selander, et al. Expires June 21, 2021 [Page 27]
Internet-Draft Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman Over COSE (EDHOC) December 2020
[ "Signature1", << ID_CRED_I >>, << TH_3, CRED_I, ? AD_3 >>,
MAC_3 ]
o Compute an outer COSE_Encrypt0 as defined in Section 5.3 of
[RFC8152], with the EDHOC AEAD algorithm in the selected cipher
suite, K_3ae, IV_3ae, and the following parameters. The protected
header SHALL be empty.
* external_aad = TH_3
* plaintext = ( ID_CRED_I / bstr_identifier, Signature_or_MAC_3,
? AD_3 )
+ Note that if ID_CRED_I contains a single 'kid' parameter,
i.e., ID_CRED_I = { 4 : kid_I }, only the byte string kid_I
is conveyed in the plaintext encoded as a bstr_identifier,
see Section 3.3.4 and Section 5.1.
COSE constructs the input to the AEAD [RFC5116] as follows:
* Key K = EDHOC-KDF( PRK_3e2m, TH_3, "K_3ae", length )
* Nonce N = EDHOC-KDF( PRK_3e2m, TH_3, "IV_3ae", length )
* Plaintext P = ( ID_CRED_I / bstr_identifier,
Signature_or_MAC_3, ? AD_3 )
* Associated data A = [ "Encrypt0", h'', TH_3 ]
CIPHERTEXT_3 is the 'ciphertext' of the outer COSE_Encrypt0.
o Encode message_3 as a sequence of CBOR encoded data items as
specified in Section 5.4.1.
Pass the connection identifiers (C_I, C_R) and the application
algorithms in the selected cipher suite to the application. The
application can now derive application keys using the EDHOC-Exporter
interface.
After sending message_3, the Initiator is assured that no other party
than the Responder can compute the key PRK_4x3m (implicit key
authentication). The Initiator does however not know that the
Responder has actually computed the key PRK_4x3m. While the
Initiator can securely send protected application data, the Initiator
SHOULD NOT store the keying material PRK_4x3m and TH_4 until the
Initiator is assured that the Responder has actually computed the key
PRK_4x3m (explicit key confirmation). Explicit key confirmation is
Selander, et al. Expires June 21, 2021 [Page 28]
Internet-Draft Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman Over COSE (EDHOC) December 2020
e.g. assured when the Initiator has verified an OSCORE message from
the Responder.
5.4.3. Responder Processing of Message 3
The Responder SHALL process message_3 as follows:
o Decode message_3 (see Appendix A.1).
o Retrieve the protocol state using the connection identifier C_R
and/or other external information such as the CoAP Token and the
5-tuple.
o Decrypt and verify the outer COSE_Encrypt0 as defined in
Section 5.3 of [RFC8152], with the EDHOC AEAD algorithm in the
selected cipher suite, K_3ae, and IV_3ae.
o Verify that the identity of the Initiator is an allowed identity
for this connection, see Section 3.3.
o Verify Signature_or_MAC_3 using the algorithm in the selected
cipher suite. The verification process depends on the method, see
Section 5.4.2.
o Pass AD_3, the connection identifiers (C_I, C_R), and the
application algorithms in the selected cipher suite to the
security application. The application can now derive application
keys using the EDHOC-Exporter interface.
If any verification step fails, the Responder MUST send an EDHOC
error message back, formatted as defined in Section 6, and the
protocol MUST be discontinued.
After verifying message_3, the Responder is assured that the
Initiator has calculated the key PRK_4x3m (explicit key confirmation)
and that no other party than the Responder can compute the key. The
Responder can securely send protected application data and store the
keying material PRK_4x3m and TH_4.
6. Error Handling
6.1. EDHOC Error Message
This section defines a message format for the EDHOC error message,
used during the protocol. An EDHOC error message can be sent by both
parties as a reply to any non-error EDHOC message. After sending an
error message, the protocol MUST be discontinued. Errors at the
EDHOC layer are sent as normal successful messages in the lower
Selander, et al. Expires June 21, 2021 [Page 29]
Internet-Draft Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman Over COSE (EDHOC) December 2020
layers (e.g. CoAP POST and 2.04 Changed). An advantage of using
such a construction is to avoid issues created by usage of cross
protocol proxies (e.g. UDP to TCP).
error SHALL be a CBOR Sequence (see Appendix A.1) as defined below
error = (
? C_x : bstr_identifier,
ERR_MSG : tstr,
? SUITES_R : [ supported : 2* suite ] / suite,
)
where:
o C_x - (optional) variable length connection identifier, encoded as
a bstr_identifier (see Section 5.1). If error is sent by the
Responder and corr (METHOD_CORR mod 4) equals 0 or 2 then C_x is
set to C_I, else if error is sent by the Initiator and corr
(METHOD_CORR mod 4) equals 0 or 1 then C_x is set to C_R, else C_x
is omitted.
o ERR_MSG - text string containing the diagnostic payload, defined
in the same way as in Section 5.5.2 of [RFC7252]. ERR_MSG MAY be
a 0-length text string. This text string is mandatory and
characteristic for error messages, which enables the receiver to
distinguish between a normal message and an error message of the
protocol.
o SUITES_R - (optional) cipher suites from SUITES_I or the EDHOC
cipher suites registry that the Responder supports. SUITES_R MUST
only be included in replies to message_1. If a single supported
cipher suite is conveyed then the supported cipher suite is
encoded as an int instead of an array.
After receiving SUITES_R, the Initiator can determine which selected
cipher suite to use for the next EDHOC run with the Responder. If
the Initiator intends to contact the Responder in the future, the
Initiator SHOULD remember which selected cipher suite to use until
the next message_1 has been sent, otherwise the Initiator and
Responder will likely run into an infinite loop. After a successful
run of EDHOC, the Initiator MAY remember the selected cipher suite to
use in future EDHOC runs. Note that if the Initiator or Responder is
updated with new cipher suite policies, any cached information may be
outdated.

6.1.1. Example Use of EDHOC Error Message with SUITES_R
Assuming that the Initiator supports the five cipher suites 5, 6, 7,
8, and 9 in decreasing order of preference, Figures 5 and 6 show
examples of how the Initiator can truncate SUITES_I and how SUITES_R
is used by the Responder to give the Initiator information about the
cipher suites that the Responder supports.
In Figure 5, the Responder supports cipher suite 6 but not the
initially selected cipher suite 5.

Figure 5: Example use of error message with SUITES_R.
In Figure 6, the Responder supports cipher suite 7 and 9 but not the
more preferred (by the Initiator) cipher suites 5 and 6. The order
of cipher suites in SUITES_R does not matter.

+------------------------------------------------------------------>|
| message_1 |
Figure 6: Example use of error message with SUITES_R.
Note that the Initiator's list of supported cipher suites and order
of preference is fixed (see Section 5.2.1 and Section 5.2.2).
Furthermore, the Responder shall only accept message_1 if the
Selander, et al. Expires June 21, 2021 [Page 31]
Internet-Draft Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman Over COSE (EDHOC) December 2020
selected cipher suite is the first cipher suite in SUITES_I that the
Responder supports (see Section 5.2.3). Following this procedure
ensures that the selected cipher suite is the most preferred (by the
Initiator) cipher suite supported by both parties.
If the selected cipher suite is not the first cipher suite which the
Responder supports in SUITES_I received in message_1, then Responder
MUST discontinue the protocol, see Section 5.2.3. If SUITES_I in
message_1 is manipulated then the integrity verification of message_2
containing the transcript hash TH_2 = H( message_1, data_2 ) will
fail and the Initiator will discontinue the protocol.
7. Transferring EDHOC and Deriving an OSCORE Context
7.1. Transferring EDHOC in CoAP
It is recommended to transport EDHOC as an exchange of CoAP [RFC7252]
messages. CoAP is a reliable transport that can preserve packet
ordering and handle message duplication. CoAP can also perform
fragmentation and protect against denial of service attacks. It is
recommended to carry the EDHOC messages in Confirmable messages,
especially if fragmentation is used.
By default, the CoAP client is the Initiator and the CoAP server is
the Responder, but the roles SHOULD be chosen to protect the most
sensitive identity, see Section 8. By default, EDHOC is transferred
in POST requests and 2.04 (Changed) responses to the Uri-Path:
"/.well-known/edhoc", but an application may define its own path that
can be discovered e.g. using resource directory
[I-D.ietf-core-resource-directory].
By default, the message flow is as follows: EDHOC message_1 is sent
in the payload of a POST request from the client to the server's
resource for EDHOC. EDHOC message_2 or the EDHOC error message is
sent from the server to the client in the payload of a 2.04 (Changed)
response. EDHOC message_3 or the EDHOC error message is sent from
the client to the server's resource in the payload of a POST request.
If needed, an EDHOC error message is sent from the server to the
client in the payload of a 2.04 (Changed) response.
An example of a successful EDHOC exchange using CoAP is shown in
Figure 7. In this case the CoAP Token enables the Initiator to
correlate message_1 and message_2 so the correlation parameter corr =
1.

The exchange in Figure 7 protects the client identity against active
attackers and the server identity against passive attackers. An
alternative exchange that protects the server identity against active
attackers and the client identity against passive attackers is shown
in Figure 8. In this case the CoAP Token enables the Responder to
correlate message_2 and message_3 so the correlation parameter corr =

Figure 8: Transferring EDHOC in CoAP when the Initiator is CoAP
Server
To protect against denial-of-service attacks, the CoAP server MAY
respond to the first POST request with a 4.01 (Unauthorized)
containing an Echo option [I-D.ietf-core-echo-request-tag]. This
forces the initiator to demonstrate its reachability at its apparent
network address. If message fragmentation is needed, the EDHOC
messages may be fragmented using the CoAP Block-Wise Transfer
mechanism [RFC7959].
7.1.1. Deriving an OSCORE Context from EDHOC
When EDHOC is used to derive parameters for OSCORE [RFC8613], the
parties make sure that the EDHOC connection identifiers are unique,
i.e. C_R MUST NOT be equal to C_I. The CoAP client and server MUST
be able to retrieve the OSCORE protocol state using its chosen
connection identifier and optionally other information such as the
5-tuple. In case that the CoAP client is the Initiator and the CoAP
server is the Responder:
o The client's OSCORE Sender ID is C_R and the server's OSCORE
Sender ID is C_I, as defined in this document
o The AEAD Algorithm and the hash algorithm are the application AEAD
and hash algorithms in the selected cipher suite.
Selander, et al. Expires June 21, 2021 [Page 34]
Internet-Draft Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman Over COSE (EDHOC) December 2020
o The Master Secret and Master Salt are derived as follows where
length is the key length (in bytes) of the application AEAD
Algorithm.
Master Secret = EDHOC-Exporter( "OSCORE Master Secret", length )
Master Salt = EDHOC-Exporter( "OSCORE Master Salt", 8 )
8. Security Considerations
8.1. Security Properties
EDHOC inherits its security properties from the theoretical SIGMA-I
protocol [SIGMA]. Using the terminology from [SIGMA], EDHOC provides
perfect forward secrecy, mutual authentication with aliveness,
consistency, peer awareness. As described in [SIGMA], peer awareness
is provided to the Responder, but not to the Initiator.
EDHOC protects the credential identifier of the Initiator against
active attacks and the credential identifier of the Responder against
passive attacks. The roles should be assigned to protect the most
sensitive identity/identifier, typically that which is not possible
to infer from routing information in the lower layers.
Compared to [SIGMA], EDHOC adds an explicit method type and expands
the message authentication coverage to additional elements such as
algorithms, auxiliary data, and previous messages. This protects
against an attacker replaying messages or injecting messages from
another session.
EDHOC also adds negotiation of connection identifiers and downgrade
protected negotiation of cryptographic parameters, i.e. an attacker
cannot affect the negotiated parameters. A single session of EDHOC
does not include negotiation of cipher suites, but it enables the
Responder to verify that the selected cipher suite is the most
preferred cipher suite by the Initiator which is supported by both
the Initiator and the Responder.
As required by [RFC7258], IETF protocols need to mitigate pervasive
monitoring when possible. One way to mitigate pervasive monitoring
is to use a key exchange that provides perfect forward secrecy.
EDHOC therefore only supports methods with perfect forward secrecy.
To limit the effect of breaches, it is important to limit the use of
symmetrical group keys for bootstrapping. EDHOC therefore strives to
make the additional cost of using raw public keys and self-signed
certificates as small as possible. Raw public keys and self-signed
certificates are not a replacement for a public key infrastructure,
but SHOULD be used instead of symmetrical group keys for
bootstrapping.
Selander, et al. Expires June 21, 2021 [Page 35]
Internet-Draft Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman Over COSE (EDHOC) December 2020
Compromise of the long-term keys (private signature or static DH
keys) does not compromise the security of completed EDHOC exchanges.
Compromising the private authentication keys of one party lets an
active attacker impersonate that compromised party in EDHOC exchanges
with other parties, but does not let the attacker impersonate other
parties in EDHOC exchanges with the compromised party. Compromise of
the long-term keys does not enable a passive attacker to compromise
future session keys. Compromise of the HDKF input parameters (ECDH
shared secret) leads to compromise of all session keys derived from
that compromised shared secret. Compromise of one session key does
not compromise other session keys.
If supported by the device, it is RECOMMENDED that at least the long-
term private keys is stored in a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE)
and that sensitive operations using these keys are performed inside
the TEE. To achieve even higher security additional operation such
as ephemeral key generation, all computations of shared secrets, and
storage of the PRK keys can be done inside the TEE. Optimally, the
whole EDHOC protocol can be implemented inside the TEE. Typically an
adversary with physical access to a device can be assumed to gain
access to all information outside of the TEE, but none of the
information inside the TEE.
Key compromise impersonation (KCI): In EDHOC authenticated with
signature keys, EDHOC provides KCI protection against an attacker
having access to the long term key or the ephemeral secret key. With
static Diffie-Hellman key authentication, KCI protection would be
provided against an attacker having access to the long-term Diffie-
Hellman key, but not to an attacker having access to the ephemeral
secret key. Note that the term KCI has typically been used for
compromise of long-term keys, and that an attacker with access to the
ephemeral secret key can only attack that specific protocol run.
Repudiation: In EDHOC authenticated with signature keys, the
Initiator could theoretically prove that the Responder performed a
run of the protocol by presenting the private ephemeral key, and vice
versa. Note that storing the private ephemeral keys violates the
protocol requirements. With static Diffie-Hellman key
authentication, both parties can always deny having participated in
the protocol.
8.2. Cryptographic Considerations
The security of the SIGMA protocol requires the MAC to be bound to
the identity of the signer. Hence the message authenticating
functionality of the authenticated encryption in EDHOC is critical:
authenticated encryption MUST NOT be replaced by plain encryption
only, even if authentication is provided at another level or through
Selander, et al. Expires June 21, 2021 [Page 36]
Internet-Draft Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman Over COSE (EDHOC) December 2020
a different mechanism. EDHOC implements SIGMA-I using the same Sign-
then-MAC approach as TLS 1.3.
To reduce message overhead EDHOC does not use explicit nonces and
instead rely on the ephemeral public keys to provide randomness to
each session. A good amount of randomness is important for the key
generation, to provide liveness, and to protect against interleaving
attacks. For this reason, the ephemeral keys MUST NOT be reused, and
both parties SHALL generate fresh random ephemeral key pairs.
The choice of key length used in the different algorithms needs to be
harmonized, so that a sufficient security level is maintained for
certificates, EDHOC, and the protection of application data. The
Initiator and the Responder should enforce a minimum security level.
The data rates in many IoT deployments are very limited. Given that
the application keys are protected as well as the long-term
authentication keys they can often be used for years or even decades
before the cryptographic limits are reached. If the application keys
established through EDHOC need to be renewed, the communicating
parties can derive application keys with other labels or run EDHOC
again.
8.3. Cipher Suites
Cipher suite number 0 (AES-CCM-16-64-128, SHA-256, X25519, EdDSA,
Ed25519, AES-CCM-16-64-128, SHA-256) is mandatory to implement.
Implementations only need to implement the algorithms needed for
their supported methods. For many constrained IoT devices it is
problematic to support more than one cipher suites, so some
deployments with P-256 may not support the mandatory cipher suite.
This is not a problem for local deployments.
The HMAC algorithm HMAC 256/64 (HMAC w/ SHA-256 truncated to 64 bits)
SHALL NOT be supported for use in EDHOC.
8.4. Unprotected Data
The Initiator and the Responder must make sure that unprotected data
and metadata do not reveal any sensitive information. This also
applies for encrypted data sent to an unauthenticated party. In
particular, it applies to AD_1, ID_CRED_R, AD_2, and ERR_MSG. Using
the same AD_1 in several EDHOC sessions allows passive eavesdroppers
to correlate the different sessions. Another consideration is that
the list of supported cipher suites may potentially be used to
identify the application.
Selander, et al. Expires June 21, 2021 [Page 37]
Internet-Draft Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman Over COSE (EDHOC) December 2020
The Initiator and the Responder must also make sure that
unauthenticated data does not trigger any harmful actions. In
particular, this applies to AD_1 and ERR_MSG.
8.5. Denial-of-Service
EDHOC itself does not provide countermeasures against Denial-of-
Service attacks. By sending a number of new or replayed message_1 an
attacker may cause the Responder to allocate state, perform
cryptographic operations, and amplify messages. To mitigate such
attacks, an implementation SHOULD rely on lower layer mechanisms such
as the Echo option in CoAP [I-D.ietf-core-echo-request-tag] that
forces the initiator to demonstrate reachability at its apparent
network address.
8.6. Implementation Considerations
The availability of a secure pseudorandom number generator and truly
random seeds are essential for the security of EDHOC. If no true
random number generator is available, a truly random seed must be
provided from an external source. As each pseudorandom number must
only be used once, an implementation need to get a new truly random
seed after reboot, or continuously store state in nonvolatile memory,
see ([RFC8613], Appendix B.1.1) for issues and solution approaches
for writing to nonvolatile memory. If ECDSA is supported,
"deterministic ECDSA" as specified in [RFC6979] is RECOMMENDED.
The referenced processing instructions in [SP-800-56A] must be
complied with, including deleting the intermediate computed values
along with any ephemeral ECDH secrets after the key derivation is
completed. The ECDH shared secret, keys, and IVs MUST be secret.
Implementations should provide countermeasures to side-channel
attacks such as timing attacks. Depending on the selected curve, the
parties should perform various validations of each other's public
keys, see e.g. Section 5 of [SP-800-56A].
The Initiator and the Responder are responsible for verifying the
integrity of certificates. The selection of trusted CAs should be
done very carefully and certificate revocation should be supported.
The private authentication keys MUST be kept secret.
The Initiator and the Responder are allowed to select the connection
identifiers C_I and C_R, respectively, for the other party to use in
the ongoing EDHOC protocol as well as in a subsequent application
protocol (e.g. OSCORE [RFC8613]). The choice of connection
identifier is not security critical in EDHOC but intended to simplify
the retrieval of the right security context in combination with using
short identifiers. If the wrong connection identifier of the other
Selander, et al. Expires June 21, 2021 [Page 38]
Internet-Draft Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman Over COSE (EDHOC) December 2020
party is used in a protocol message it will result in the receiving
party not being able to retrieve a security context (which will
terminate the protocol) or retrieve the wrong security context (which
also terminates the protocol as the message cannot be verified).
The Responder MUST finish the verification step of message_3 before
passing AD_3 to the application.
If two nodes unintentionally initiate two simultaneous EDHOC message
exchanges with each other even if they only want to complete a single
EDHOC message exchange, they MAY terminate the exchange with the
lexicographically smallest G_X. If the two G_X values are equal, the
received message_1 MUST be discarded to mitigate reflection attacks.
Note that in the case of two simultaneous EDHOC exchanges where the
nodes only complete one and where the nodes have different preferred
cipher suites, an attacker can affect which of the two nodes'
preferred cipher suites will be used by blocking the other exchange.
8.7. Other Documents Referencing EDHOC
EDHOC has been analyzed in several other documents. A formal
verification of EDHOC was done in [SSR18], an analysis of EDHOC for
certificate enrollment was done in [Kron18], the use of EDHOC in
LoRaWAN is analyzed in [LoRa1] and [LoRa2], the use of EDHOC in IoT
bootstrapping is analyzed in [Perez18], and the use of EDHOC in
6TiSCH is described in [I-D.ietf-6tisch-dtsecurity-zerotouch-join].

9.6. Expert Review Instructions
The IANA Registries established in this document is defined as
"Expert Review". This section gives some general guidelines for what
the experts should be looking for, but they are being designated as
experts for a reason so they should be given substantial latitude.
Expert reviewers should take into consideration the following points:
o Clarity and correctness of registrations. Experts are expected to
check the clarity of purpose and use of the requested entries.
Expert needs to make sure the values of algorithms are taken from
the right registry, when that's required. Expert should consider
requesting an opinion on the correctness of registered parameters
from relevant IETF working groups. Encodings that do not meet
these objective of clarity and completeness should not be
registered.
Selander, et al. Expires June 21, 2021 [Page 42]
Internet-Draft Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman Over COSE (EDHOC) December 2020
o Experts should take into account the expected usage of fields when
approving point assignment. The length of the encoded value
should be weighed against how many code points of that length are
left, the size of device it will be used on, and the number of
code points left that encode to that size.
o Specifications are recommended. When specifications are not
provided, the description provided needs to have sufficient
information to verify the points above.

Appendix A. Use of CBOR, CDDL and COSE in EDHOC
This Appendix is intended to simplify for implementors not familiar
with CBOR [RFC8949], CDDL [RFC8610], COSE [RFC8152], and HKDF
[RFC5869].
A.1. CBOR and CDDL
The Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) [RFC8949] is a data
format designed for small code size and small message size. CBOR
builds on the JSON data model but extends it by e.g. encoding binary
data directly without base64 conversion. In addition to the binary
CBOR encoding, CBOR also has a diagnostic notation that is readable
and editable by humans. The Concise Data Definition Language (CDDL)
[RFC8610] provides a way to express structures for protocol messages
and APIs that use CBOR. [RFC8610] also extends the diagnostic
notation.
CBOR data items are encoded to or decoded from byte strings using a
type-length-value encoding scheme, where the three highest order bits
of the initial byte contain information about the major type. CBOR
supports several different types of data items, in addition to
integers (int, uint), simple values (e.g. null), byte strings (bstr),
and text strings (tstr), CBOR also supports arrays [] of data items,
maps {} of pairs of data items, and sequences [RFC8742] of data
Selander, et al. Expires June 21, 2021 [Page 47]
Internet-Draft Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman Over COSE (EDHOC) December 2020
items. Some examples are given below. For a complete specification
and more examples, see [RFC8949] and [RFC8610]. We recommend
implementors to get used to CBOR by using the CBOR playground
[CborMe].

{ 4 : h'cd' } 0xa10441cd map
<< 1, 2, null >> 0x430102f6 byte string
[ 1, 2, null ] 0x830102f6 array
( 1, 2, null ) 0x0102f6 sequence
1, 2, null 0x0102f6 sequence
------------------------------------------------------------------
A.2. COSE
CBOR Object Signing and Encryption (COSE) [RFC8152] describes how to
create and process signatures, message authentication codes, and
encryption using CBOR. COSE builds on JOSE, but is adapted to allow
more efficient processing in constrained devices. EDHOC makes use of
COSE_Key, COSE_Encrypt0, and COSE_Sign1 objects.
Appendix B. Test Vectors
This appendix provides detailed test vectors to ease implementation
and ensure interoperability. In addition to hexadecimal, all CBOR
data items and sequences are given in CBOR diagnostic notation. The
test vectors use the default mapping to CoAP where the Initiator acts
as CoAP client (this means that corr = 1).
A more extensive test vector suite covering more combinations of
authentication method used between Initiator and Responder and
related code to generate them can be found at https://github.com/
lake-wg/edhoc/tree/master/test-vectors .
B.1. Test Vectors for EDHOC Authenticated with Signature Keys (x5t)
EDHOC with signature authentication and X.509 certificates is used.
In this test vector, the hash value 'x5t' is used to identify the
certificate.

CoAP is used as transport and the Initiator acts as CoAP client:
corr (the Initiator can correlate message_1 and message_2)
1
From there, METHOD_CORR has the following value:
METHOD_CORR (4 * method + corr) (int)
1
No unprotected opaque auxiliary data is sent in the message
exchanges.
The list of supported cipher suites of the Initiator in order of
preference is the following:
Supported Cipher Suites (4 bytes)
00 01 02 03
The cipher suite selected by the Initiator is the most preferred:
Selected Cipher Suite (int)

The mandatory-to-implement cipher suite 0 is supported by both the
Initiator and the Responder, see Section 8.3.

Since the list of supported cipher suites needs to contain the
selected cipher suite, the initiator truncates the list of supported
cipher suites to one cipher suite only, 00.
Because one single selected cipher suite is conveyed, it is encoded
as an int instead of an array:

Note that since C_R is a byte string of length one, it is encoded as
the corresponding integer subtracted by 24 (see bstr_identifier in

is equal to 0x13.

Note that since C_I is a byte strings of length one, it is encoded as
the corresponding integer - 24 (see bstr_identifier in Section 5.1),
i.e. 0x16 = 22, 22 - 24 = -2, and -2 in CBOR encoding is equal to
0x21.

Since the list of supported cipher suites needs to contain the

cipher suites to one cipher suite only, 00.
Because one single selected cipher suite is conveyed, it is encoded

CIPHERTEXT_2 is the ciphertext resulting from XOR encrypting a
plaintext constructed from the following parameters and the key K_2e.
o plaintext = CBOR Sequence of the items ID_CRED_R and the CBOR
encoded Signature_or_MAC_2, in this order. Note that since
ID_CRED_R contains a single 'kid' parameter, i.e., ID_CRED_R = { 4
: kid_R }, only the byte string kid_R is conveyed in the plaintext
encoded as a bstr_identifier. kid_R is encoded as the
corresponding integer - 24 (see bstr_identifier in Section 5.1),
i.e. 0x07 = 7, 7 - 24 = -17, and -17 in CBOR encoding is equal to
0x30.

Appendix C. Applicability Statement Template
EDHOC requires certain parameters to be agreed upon between Initiator
and Responder. A cipher suite is negotiated with the protocol, but
certain other parameters need to be agreed beforehand:
1. Method and correlation of underlying transport messages
(METHOD_CORR, see Section 3.2.1 and Section 3.2.4).
2. Type of authentication credentials (CRED_I, CRED_R, see
Section 3.3.4).
3. Type for identifying authentication credentials (ID_CRED_I,
ID_CRED_R, see Section 3.3.4).
4. Type and use of Auxiliary Data AD_1, AD_2, AD_3 (see
Section 3.6).
5. Identifier used as identity of endpoint (see Section 3.3).
An example of an applicability statement is shown in the next
section.
Note that for some of the parameters, like METHOD_CORR, ID_CRED_x,
type of AD_x, the receiver is able to assert whether it supports the
parameter or not and thus, if it fails, to infer why.
For other parameters, like type of authentication credential, it may
be more difficult to detect if the receiver got the wrong type since
the credential is not necessarily transported, and a failed integrity
of the received message may be caused by other circumstances. For
example in the case of public key certificates there is a large
variety of profiles and alternative encodings, which the
applicability statement needs to nail down.
Note also that it is not always necessary for the endpoints to agree
on the transport for the EDHOC messages. For example, a mix of CoAP
and HTTP may be used along the path and still allow correlation
between message_1 and message_2.
C.1. Use of EDHOC in the XX Protocol
For use of EDHOC in the XX protocol, the following assumptions are
made on the parameters.

* corr = 1 (CoAP Token or other transport data enables
correlation between message_1 and message_2.)
o CRED_I is an 802.1AR IDevID encoded as a CBOR Certificate of type
0
* R acquires CRED_I out-of-band, indicated in AD_1
