Abstract

   This document describes the use of the RSAES-OAEP key transport
   method of key management within the Cryptographic Message Syntax
   (CMS).

1. Introduction

   PKCS #1 Version 1.5 [PKCS#1v1.5] specifies a widely deployed variant
   of the RSA key transport algorithm.  PKCS #1 Version 1.5 key



Housley                                                         [Page 1]


INTERNET DRAFT                                                 July 2002


   transport is vulnerable to adaptive chosen ciphertext attacks,
   especially when it is used to for key management in interactive
   applications.  This attack is often referred to as the "Million
   Message Attack," and it explained in [RSALABS] and [CRYPTO98].
   Exploitation of this vulnerability, which reveals the result of a
   particular RSA decryption, requires access to an oracle which will
   respond to hundreds of thousands of ciphertexts, which are
   constructed adaptively in response to previously received replies
   that provide information on the successes or failures of attempted
   decryption operations.

   The attack is significantly less feasible in store-and-forward
   environments, such as S/MIME.  RFC 3218 [MMA] discussed the
   countermeasures to this attack that are available when PKCS #1
   Version 1.5 key transport is used in conjunction with the
   Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) [CMS].

   When PKCS #1 Version 1.5 key transport is applied as an intermediate
   encryption layer within an interactive request-response
   communications environment, exploitation could be more feasible.
   However, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) [SSL] and Transport Layer
   Security (TLS) [TLS] protocol implementations could include
   countermeasures that detect and prevent the Million Message Attack
   and other chosen-ciphertext attacks.  These countermeasures are
   performed within the protocol level.

   In the interest of long-term security assurance, it is prudent to
   adopt an improved cryptographic technique rather than embedding
   countermeasures within protocols.  To this end, an updated version of
   PKCS #1 has been published.  PKCS #1 Version 2.0 [PKCS#1v2.0]
   supersedes RFC 2313.  It preserves support for the PKCS #1 Version
   1.5 encryption padding format, and it also defines a new one.  To
   resolve the adaptive chosen ciphertext vulnerability, the PKCS #1
   Version 2.0 specifies and recommends use of Optimal Asymmetric
   Encryption Padding (OAEP) for RSA key transport.

   This document specifies the use of RSAES-OAEP key transport algorithm
   in the CMS.  The CMS can be used in either a store-and-forward or an
   interactive request-response environment.

   The CMS supports variety of architectures for certificate-based key
   management, particularly the one defined by the PKIX working group
   [PROFILE].  PKCS #1 Version 1.5 and PKCS #1 Version 2.0 require the
   same RSA public key information.  Thus, a certified RSA public key
   may be used with either RSA key transport technique.

   The CMS uses ASN.1 [X.208-88], the Basic Encoding Rules (BER)
   [X.209-88], and the Distinguished Encoding Rules (DER) [X.509-88].

INTERNET DRAFT                                                 July 2002


   Throughout this document, when the terms "MUST," "MUST NOT,"
   "SHOULD," and "MAY" are used in capital letters, their use conforms
   to the definitions in RFC 2119 [STDWORDS].  These key word
   definitions help make the intent of standards documents as clear as
   possible.  These key words are used in this document to help
   implementers achieve interoperability.

2. Enveloped-data Conventions

   The CMS enveloped-data content type consists of an encrypted content
   and wrapped content-encryption keys for one or more recipients.  The
   RSAES-OAEP key transport algorithm is used to wrap the content-
   encryption key for one recipient.

   Compliant software MUST meet the requirements for constructing an
   enveloped-data content type stated in [CMS] Section 6, "Enveloped-
   data Content Type".

   A content-encryption key MUST be randomly generated for each instance
   of an enveloped-data content type.  The content-encryption key is
   used to encipher the content.

2.1. EnvelopedData Fields

   The enveloped-data content type is ASN.1 encoded using the
   EnvelopedData syntax.  The fields of the EnvelopedData syntax MUST be
   populated as described in this section when RSAES-OAEP key transport
   is employed for one or more recipients.

   The EnvelopedData version MUST be 0, 2, or 3.

   The EnvelopedData originatorInfo field is not used for the RSAES-OAEP
   key transport algorithm.  However, this field MAY be present to
   support recipients using other key management algorithms.

   The EnvelopedData recipientInfos CHOICE MUST be
   KeyTransRecipientInfo.  See section 2.2 for further discussion of
   KeyTransRecipientInfo.

   The EnvelopedData encryptedContentInfo contentEncryptionAlgorithm
   field MUST be a symmetric encryption algorithm identifier.

   The EnvelopedData unprotectedAttrs MAY be present.

2.2. KeyTransRecipientInfo Fields

   The fields of the KeyTransRecipientInfo syntax MUST be populated as
   described in this section when RSAES-OAEP key transport is employed



Housley                                                         [Page 3]


INTERNET DRAFT                                                 July 2002


   for one or more recipients.

   The KeyTransRecipientInfo version MUST be 0 or 2.  If the
   RecipientIdentifier uses the issuerAndSerialNumber alternative, then
   the version MUST be 0.  If the RecipientIdentifier uses the
   subjectKeyIdentifier alternative, then the version MUST be 2.

   The KeyTransRecipientInfo RecipientIdentifier provides two
   alternatives for specifying the recipient's certificate, and thereby
   the recipient's public key.  The recipient's certificate MUST contain
   a RSA public key.  The content-encryption key is encrypted with the
   recipient's RSA public key.  The issuerAndSerialNumber alternative
   identifies the recipient's certificate by the issuer's distinguished
   name and the certificate serial number; the subjectKeyIdentifier
   identifies the recipient's certificate by the X.509
   subjectKeyIdentifier extension value.

   The KeyTransRecipientInfo keyEncryptionAlgorithm specifies use of the
   RSAES-OAEP algorithm, and its associated parameters, to encrypt the
   content-encryption key for the recipient.  The key-encryption process
   is described in [PKCS#1v2.0].  See section 3 of this document for the
   algorithm identifier and the parameter syntax.

   The KeyTransRecipientInfo encryptedKey is the result of encrypting
   the content-encryption key in the recipient's RSA public key using
   the RSAES-OAEP algorithm.  The RSA public key MUST be at least 1024
   bits in length.  When using a Triple-DES [3DES] content-encryption
   key, implementations MUST adjust the parity bits to ensure odd parity
   for each octet of each DES key comprising the Triple-DES key prior to
   RSAES-OAEP encryption.

3. RSAES-OAEP Algorithm Identifiers and Parameters

   The RSAES-OAEP key transport algorithm is the RSA encryption scheme
   defined in RFC 2437 [PKCS#1v2.0], where the message to be encrypted
   is the content-encryption key.  The algorithm identifier for RSAES-
   OAEP is:

      id-RSAES-OAEP  OBJECT IDENTIFIER  ::=  { iso(1) member-body(2)
        us(840) rsadsi(113549) pkcs(1) pkcs-1(1) 7 }

   The AlgorithmIdentifier parameters field MUST be present, and the
   parameters field MUST contain RSAES-OAEP-params.  RSAES-OAEP-params
   has the following syntax:







Housley                                                         [Page 4]


INTERNET DRAFT                                                 July 2002


      RSAES-OAEP-params  ::=  SEQUENCE  {
        hashFunc    [0] AlgorithmIdentifier DEFAULT sha1Identifier,
        maskGenFunc [1] AlgorithmIdentifier DEFAULT mgf1SHA1Identifier,
        pSourceFunc [2] AlgorithmIdentifier DEFAULT
                            pSpecifiedEmptyIdentifier  }

      sha1Identifier  AlgorithmIdentifier  ::=  { id-sha1, NULL }

      mgf1SHA1Identifier  AlgorithmIdentifier  ::=
                            { id-mgf1, sha1Identifier }

      pSpecifiedEmptyIdentifier  AlgorithmIdentifier ::=
                            { id-pSpecified, nullOctetString }

      nullOctetString  OCTET STRING (SIZE (0))  ::=  { ''H }

      id-sha1  OBJECT IDENTIFIER  ::=  { iso(1)
                            identified-organization(3) oiw(14)
                            secsig(3) algorithms(2) 26 }

      pkcs-1  OBJECT IDENTIFIER  ::=  { iso(1) member-body(2)
                            us(840) rsadsi(113549) pkcs(1) pkcs-1(1) }

      id-mgf1  OBJECT IDENTIFIER  ::=  { pkcs-1 8 }

      id-pSpecified  OBJECT IDENTIFIER  ::=  { pkcs-1 9 }

   The fields within RSAES-OAEP-params have the following meanings:

      hashFunc identifies the one-way hash function.  Implementations
      MUST support SHA-1 [SHA1], and implementations MAY support other
      one-way hash functions.  The SHA-1 algorithm identifier is
      comprised of the id-sha1 object identifier and a parameter of
      NULL.  Implementations that perform encryption MUST omit the
      hashFunc field when SHA-1 is used, indicating that the default
      algorithm was used.  Implementations that perform decryption MUST
      recognize both the id-sha1 object identifier and an absent
      hashFunc field as an indication that SHA-1 was used.

      maskGenFunc identifies the mask generation function.
      Implementations MUST support MFG1 [PKCS#1v2.0].  MFG1 requires a
      one-way hash function, and it is identified in the parameter field
      of the MFG1 algorithm identifier.  Implementations MUST support
      SHA-1 [SHA1], and implementations MAY support other one-way hash
      functions.  The MFG1 algorithm identifier is comprised of the id-
      mgf1 object identifier and a parameter that contains the algorithm
      identifier of the one-way hash function employed with MFG1.  The
      SHA-1 algorithm identifier is comprised of the id-sha1 object



Housley                                                         [Page 5]


INTERNET DRAFT                                                 July 2002


      identifier and a parameter of NULL.  Implementations that perform
      encryption MUST omit the maskGenFunc field when MFG1 with SHA-1 is
      used, indicating that the default algorithm was used.
      Implementations that perform decryption MUST recognize both the
      id-mgf1 and id-sha1 object identifiers as well as an absent
      maskGenFunc field as an indication that MFG1 with SHA-1 was used.

      pSourceFunc identifies the source (and possibly the value) of the
      encoding parameters, commonly called P.  Implementations MUST
      represent P by an algorithm identifier, id-pSpecified, indicating
      that P is explicitly provided as an OCTET STRING in the
      parameters.  The default value for P is an empty string.  In this
      case, pHash in EME-OAEP contains the hash of a zero length string.
      Implementations MUST support a zero length P value.
      Implementations that perform encryption MUST omit the pSourceFunc
      field when a zero length P value is used, indicating that the
      default value was used.  Implementations that perform decryption
      MUST recognize both the id-pSpecified object identifier and an
      absent pSourceFunc field as an indication that a zero length P
      value was used.

4. SMIMECapabilities Attribute Conventions

   RFC 2633 [MSG], Section 2.5.2 defines the SMIMECapabilities signed
   attribute (defined as a SEQUENCE of SMIMECapability SEQUENCEs) to be
   used to specify a partial list of algorithms that the software
   announcing the SMIMECapabilities can support.  When constructing a
   signedData object, compliant software MAY include the
   SMIMECapabilities signed attribute announcing that it supports the
   RSAES-OAEP algorithm.

   When all of the default settings are selected, the SMIMECapability
   SEQUENCE representing RSAES-OAEP MUST include the id-RSAES-OAEP
   object identifier in the capabilityID field and MUST include an empty
   SEQUENCE in the parameters field.  In this case, RSAES-OAEP is
   represented by the rSAES-OAEP-Default-Identifier:

      rSAES-OAEP-Default-Identifier  AlgorithmIdentifier  ::=
                            { id-RSAES-OAEP,
                               { sha1Identifier,
                                 mgf1SHA1Identifier,
                                 pSpecifiedEmptyIdentifier } }

   The SMIMECapability SEQUENCE representing rSAES-OAEP-Default-
   Identifier MUST be DER-encoded as the following hexadecimal string:

      30 0D 06 09 2A 86 48 86 F7 0D 01 01 07 30 00




Housley                                                         [Page 6]


INTERNET DRAFT                                                 July 2002


   When settings other than the defaults are selected, the
   SMIMECapability SEQUENCE representing RSAES-OAEP MUST include the
   id-RSAES-OAEP object identifier in the capabilityID field and MUST
   include the RSAES-OAEP-params SEQUENCE that identifies the
   non-default settings in the parameters field.

   When SHA-256 is used in the hashFunc and SHA-256 is used with MGF1 in
   the maskGenFunc, the SMIMECapability SEQUENCE representing RSAES-OAEP
   is the rSAES-OAEP-SHA256-Identifier, as specified in Appendix A.  The
   SMIMECapability SEQUENCE representing rSAES-OAEP-SHA256-Identifier
   MUST be DER-encoded as the following hexadecimal string:

      30 38 06 09 2A 86 48 86 F7 0D 01 01 07 30 2B 30
      0D 06 09 60 86 48 01 65 03 04 02 01 05 00 30 1A
      06 09 2A 86 48 86 F7 0D 01 01 08 30 0D 06 09 60
      86 48 01 65 03 04 02 01 05 00

   When SHA-384 is used in the hashFunc and SHA-384 is used with MGF1 in
   the maskGenFunc, the SMIMECapability SEQUENCE representing RSAES-OAEP
   is the rSAES-OAEP-SHA384-Identifier, as specified in Appendix A.  The
   SMIMECapability SEQUENCE representing rSAES-OAEP-SHA384-Identifier
   MUST be DER-encoded as the following hexadecimal string:

      30 38 06 09 2A 86 48 86 F7 0D 01 01 07 30 2B 30
      0D 06 09 60 86 48 01 65 03 04 02 02 05 00 30 1A
      06 09 2A 86 48 86 F7 0D 01 01 08 30 0D 06 09 60
      86 48 01 65 03 04 02 02 05 00

   When SHA-512 is used in the hashFunc and SHA-512 is used with MGF1 in
   the maskGenFunc, the SMIMECapability SEQUENCE representing RSAES-OAEP
   is the rSAES-OAEP-SHA512-Identifier, as specified in Appendix A.  The
   SMIMECapability SEQUENCE representing rSAES-OAEP-SHA512-Identifier
   MUST be DER-encoded as the following hexadecimal string:

      30 38 06 09 2A 86 48 86 F7 0D 01 01 07 30 2B 30
      0D 06 09 60 86 48 01 65 03 04 02 03 05 00 30 1A
      06 09 2A 86 48 86 F7 0D 01 01 08 30 0D 06 09 60
      86 48 01 65 03 04 02 03 05 00

6. Security Considerations

   Implementations must protect the RSA private key and the content-
   encryption key.  Compromise of the RSA private key may result in the
   disclosure of all messages protected with that key.  Compromise of
   the content-encryption key may result in disclosure of the associated
   encrypted content.

   The generation of RSA public/private key pairs relies on a random
   numbers.  The use of inadequate pseudo-random number generators
   (PRNGs) to generate cryptographic keys can result in little or no
   security.  An attacker may find it much easier to reproduce the PRNG
   environment that produced the keys, searching the resulting small set
   of possibilities, rather than brute force searching the whole key
   space.  The generation of quality random numbers is difficult.  RFC
   1750 [RANDOM] offers important guidance in this area.

   Generally, good cryptographic practice employs a given RSA key pair
   in only one scheme.  This practice avoids the risk that vulnerability
   in one scheme may compromise the security of the other, and may be
   essential to maintain provable security.  While PKCS #1 Version 1.5
   [PKCS#1v1.5] has been employed for both key transport and digital
   signature without any known bad interactions, such a combined use of
   an RSA key pair is not recommended in the future.  Therefore, an RSA
   key pair used for RSAES-OAEP key transport should not also be used
   for other purposes.

   This specification requires implementation to support the SHA-1 one-

   way hash function for interoperability, but support for other one-way
   hash function is permitted.  At the time of this writing, the best
   (known) collision attacks against SHA-1 are generic attacks with
   complexity 2^80, where 80 is one-half the bit length of the hash
   value.  When a one-way hash function is used with a digital signature
   scheme, a collision attack is easily translated into a signature
   forgery.  Therefore, the use of SHA-1 in a digital signature scheme
   provides a security level of no more than 80 bits.  If a greater
   level of security is desired, then a secure one-way hash function
   with a longer hash value is needed.  SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512
   are likely candidates [SHA2].

   The metrics for choosing a one-way hash function for use in digital
   signatures do not directly apply to the RSAES-OAEP key transport
   algorithm, since a collision attack on the one-way hash function does
   not directly translate into an attack on the key transport algorithm,
   unless the encoding parameters P varies (in which case a collision
   the hash value for different encoding parameters might be exploited).
   Nevertheless, for consistency with the practice for digital signature
   schemes, and in case the encoding parameters P is not the empty
   string, it is recommended that the same rule of thumb be applied to
   selection of a one-way hash function for use with RSAES-OAEP.  That
   is, the one-way hash function should be selected so that the bit
   length of the hash value is at least twice as long as the desired
   security level in bits.

   A 1024-bit RSA public key and SHA-1 both provide a security level of
   about 80 bits.  In [NISTGUIDE], the National Institute of Standards
   and Technology suggests that a security level of 80 bits is adequate
   for most applications until 2015.  If a security level greater than
   80 bits is needed, then a longer RSA public key and a secure one-way
   hash function with a longer hash value are needed.  Again, SHA-256,
   SHA-384, and SHA-512 are likely candidates for such a one-way hash
   function.  For this reason, the algorithm identifiers for these one-
   way hash functions are included in the ASN.1 module in Appendix A.

   The same one-way hash function should be employed for the hashFunc
   and the maskGenFunc, but it is not required.  Using the same one-way
   hash function reduces the potential for implementation errors.
