Introduction The JOSE working group produced a set of documents that defined how to perform encryption, signatures and message authentication (MAC) operations for JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) documents and then to encode the results using the JSON format [RFC7159]. This document does the same work for use with the Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) [RFC7049] document format. While there is a strong attempt to keep the flavor of the original JOSE documents, two considerations are taking into account: o CBOR has capabilities that are not present in JSON and should be used. One example of this is the fact that CBOR has a method of encoding binary directly without first converting it into a base64 encoded sting. o The authors did not always agree with some of the decisions made by the JOSE working group. Many of these decisions have been re- examined, and where it seems to the authors to be superior or simpler, replaced. 1.1. Design changes from JOSE o Define a top level message structure so that encrypted, signed and MAC-ed messages can easily identified and still have a consistent view. o Signed messages separate the concept of protected and unprotected attributes that are for the content and the signature. o Key management has been made to be more uniform. All key management techniques are represented as a recipient rather than only have some of them be so. o MAC messages are separated from signed messages. o MAC messages have the ability to do key management on the MAC key. o Use binary encodings for binary data rather than base64url encodings. Schaad Expires December 12, 2015 [Page 3] Internet-Draft CBOR Encoded Message Syntax June 2015 o Remove the authentiction tag for encryption algorithms as a separate item. o Remove the flattened mode of encoding. Forcing the use of an array of recipients at all times forces the message size to be two bytes larger, but one gets a corresponding decrease in the implementation size that should compenstate for this. 1.2. Requirements Terminology 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 [RFC2119]. When the words appear in lower case, their natural language meaning is used. 1.3. CBOR Grammar There currently is no standard CBOR grammar available for use by specifications. In this document, we use the grammar defined in the CBOR data definition language (CDDL) [I-D.greevenbosch-appsawg-cbor-cddl]. 2. The COSE_MSG structure The COSE_MSG structure is a top level CBOR object which corresponds to the DataContent type in [RFC5652]. This structure allows for a top level message to be sent which could be any of the different security services, where the security service is identified. The presence of this structure does not preclude a protocol to use one of the individual structures as a stand alone component. COSE_MSG = {msg_type=>1, COSE_Sign} / {msg_type=>2, COSE_encrypt} / {msg_type=>3, COSE_mac} COSE_Tagged_MSG = #6.999(COSE_MSG) ; Replace 999 with TBD1 The top level of each of the COSE message structures are encoded as arrays. We use an integer to distingish bettwen the different security message types. By looking at the integer in the first element, one can determine which security message is being used and thus what the syntax is for the rest of the elements in the array. Schaad Expires December 12, 2015 [Page 4] Internet-Draft CBOR Encoded Message Syntax June 2015 Implementations SHOULD be prepared to find an integer in the location which does not correspond to the values 1 to 3. If this is found then the client MUST stop attempting to parse the structure and fail. Clients need to recognize that the set of values could be extended at a later date, but should not provide a security service based on guesses of what is there. 3. Header Parameters The structure of COSE has been designed to have two buckets of information that are not considered to be part of the message structure itself, but are used for holding information about algorithms, keys, or evaluation hints for the processing of the layer. These two buckets are available for use in all of the structures in this document except for keys. While these buckets can be present, they may not all be usable in all instances. For example, while the protected bucket is present for recipient structures, most of the algorithms that are-used for recipients do not provide the necessary functionality to provide the needed protection and thus the element is not used. Both buckets are implemented as CBOR maps. The maps can be keyed by negative integers, unsigned integers and strings. The negative and unsigned integers are used for compactness of encoding. The value portion is dependent on the key definition. Both maps use the same set of key/value pairs. The integer key range has been divided into several sections with a standard range, a private range, and a range that is dependent on the algorithm selected. The tables of keys defined can be found in Appendix E. Two buckets are provided for each layer: protected contains attributes about the layer which are to be cryptographically protected. This bucket MUST NOT be used if it is not going to be included in a cryptographic computation. unprotected contains attributes about the layer which are not cryptographically protected. Both of the buckets are optional and are omitted if there are no items contained in the map. The CDDL fragment which describes the two buckets is: Schaad Expires December 12, 2015 [Page 5] Internet-Draft CBOR Encoded Message Syntax June 2015 keys = int / tstr header_map = {+ keys => any } Headers = ( ? protected => bstr, ? unprotected => header_map ) 3.1. COSE Headers TODO: Do we need to repeat definitions for all or just for some and refer to the JOSE documents? TODO: Should we move table Appendix E to here or leave it as an appendix. Some what redundant if we document things in text. 4. Signing Structure The signature structure allows for one or more signatures to be applied to a message payload. There are provisions for attributes about the content and attributes about the signature to be carried along with the signature itself. These attributes may be authenticated by the signature, or just present. Examples of attributes about the content would be the type of content, when the content was created, and who created the content. Examples of attributes about the signature would be the algorithm and key used to create the signature, when the signature was created, and counter- signatures. When more than one signature is present, the successful validation of one signature associated with a given signer is usually treated as a successful signature by that signer. However, there are some application environments where other rules are needed. An application that employs a rule other than one valid signature for each signer must specify those rules. Also, where simple matching of the signer identifier is not sufficient to determine whether the signatures were generated by the same signer, the application specification must describe how to determine which signatures were generated by the same signer. Support of different communities of recipients is the primary reason that signers choose to include more than one signature. For example, the COSE_Sign structure might include signatures generated with the RSA signature algorithm and with the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) signature algorithm. This allows recipients to verify the signature associated with one algorithm or the other. (Source of text is [RFC5652].) More detailed information on multiple signature evaluation can be found in [RFC5752]. Schaad Expires December 12, 2015 [Page 6] Internet-Draft CBOR Encoded Message Syntax June 2015 The CDDL grammar structure for a signature message is: COSE_Sign = ( Headers, ? payload => bstr, signatures=> [+{COSE_signature}] ) The keys in the COSE_Sign map are keyed by the values in Appendix D. While other keys can be present in the map, it is not generally a recommended practice. The other keys can be either of integer or string type, use of other types is strongly discouraged. See the note in {{CBOR-Canonical} about options for allowing or disallowing other keys. The fields is the structure have the following semantics: protected contains attributes about the payload which are to be protected by the signature. An example of such an attribute would be the content type ('cty') attribute. The content is a CBOR map of attributes which is encoded to a byte stream. This field MUST NOT contain attributes about the signature, even if those attributes are common across multiple signatures. This fields in this map are typically keyed by Appendix E. Other keys can be used either as int or tstr values. Other types MUST NOT be present in the map as key values. unprotected contains attributes about the payload which are not protected by the signature. An example of such an attribute would be the content type ('cty') attribute. This field MUST NOT contain attributes about a signature, even if the attributes are common across multiple signatures. This fields int his map are typically keyed by Appendix E. Other keys can be used either as int or tstr values. Other types MUST NOT be present in the map as key values. payload contains the serialized content to be signed. If the payload is not present in the message, the application is required to supply the payload separately. The payload is wrapped in a bstr to ensure that it is transported without changes, if the payload is transported separately it is the responsibility of the application to ensure that it will be transported without changes. signatures is an array of signature items. Each of these items uses the COSE_signature structure for its representation. Schaad Expires December 12, 2015 [Page 7] Internet-Draft CBOR Encoded Message Syntax June 2015 The keys in the COSE_signature map are keyed by the values in Appendix D. While other keys can be present in the map, it is not generally a recommended practice. The other keys can be either of integer or string type, use of other types is strongly discouraged. See the note in {{CBOR-Canonical} about options for allowing or disallowing other keys. The CDDL grammar structure for a signature is: COSE_signature = ( ? protected => bstr, ? unprotected => header_map, signature => bstr ) The fields in the structure have the following semantics: protected contains additional information to be authenticated by the signature. The field holds data about the signature operation. The field MUST NOT hold attributes about the payload being signed. The content is a CBOR map of attributes which is encoded to a byte stream. At least one of protected and unprotected MUST be present. unprotected contains attributes about the signature which are not protected by the signature. This field MUST NOT contain attributes about the payload being signed. At least one of protected and unprotected MUST be present. signature contains the computed signature value. The COSE structure used to create the byte stream to be signed uses the following CDDL grammar structure: Sig_structure = [ body_protected => bstr, sign_protected => bstr, payload => bstr ] How to compute a signature: 1. Create a Sig_structure object and populate it with the appropriate fields. For body_protected and sign_protected, if the fields are not present in their corresponding maps, an bstr of length zero is be used. Schaad Expires December 12, 2015 [Page 8] Internet-Draft CBOR Encoded Message Syntax June 2015 2. Create the value to be hashed by encoding the Sig_structure to a byte string. 3. Comput the hash value from the byte string. 4. Sign the hash 5. Place the signature value into the appropriate signature field. 5. Encryption object In this section we describe the structure and methods to be used when doing an encryption in COSE. In COSE, we use the same techniques and structures for encrypting both the plain text and the keys used to protect the text. This is different from the approach used by both [RFC5652] and [RFC7516] where different structures are used for the plain text and for the different key management techniques. One of the byproducts of using the same technique for encrypting and encoding both the content and the keys using the various key management techniques, is a requirement that all of the key management techniques use an Authenticated Encryption (AE) algorithm. (For the purpose of this document we use a slightly loose definition of AE algorithms.) When encrypting the plain text, it is normal to use an Authenticated Encryption with Additional Data (AEAD) algorithm. For key management, either AE or AEAD algorithms can be used. See Appendix A for more details about the different types of algorithms. I don't follow/understand this text{:aeds} The CDDL grammar structure for encryption is: COSE_encrypt = ( Headers, ? iv => bstr, ? aad => bstr, ? ciphertext => bstr, ? recipients => [+COSE_encrypt_a] ) COSE_encrypt_a = {COSE_encrypt} Description of the fields: protected contains the information about the plain text or encryption process that is to be integrity protected. The field Schaad Expires December 12, 2015 [Page 9] Internet-Draft CBOR Encoded Message Syntax June 2015 is encoded in CBOR as a 'bstr'. The contents of the protected field is a CBOR map of the protected data names and values. The map is CBOR encoded before placing it into the bstr. Only values associated with the current cipher text are to be placed in this location even if the value would apply to multiple recipient structures. unprotected contains information about the plain text that is not integrity protected. Only values associated with the current cipher text are to be placed in this location even if the value would apply to multiple recipient structures. iv contains the initialization vector (IV), or it's equivalent, if one is needed by the encryption algorithm. aad contains additional authenticated data (aad) supplied by the application. This field contains information about the plain text data that is authenticated, but not encrypted. cipherText contains the encrypted plain text. If the cipherText is to be transported independently of the control information about the encryption process (i.e. detached content) then the field is omitted. recipients contains the recipient information. The field can have one of two data types: o An array of COSE_encrypt elements, one for each recipient. 5.1. Key Management Methods There are a number of different key management methods that can be used in the COSE encryption system. In this section we will discuss each of the key management methods and what fields need to be specified to deal with each of them. The names of the key management methods used here are the same as are defined in [RFC7517]. Other specifications use different terms for the key management methods or do not support some of the key management methods. At the moment we do not have any key management methods that allow for the use of protected headers. This may be changed in the future if, for example, the AES-GCM Key wrap method defined in [RFC7518] were extended to allow for authenticated data. In that event the use of the 'protected' field, which is current forbidden below, would be permitted. Schaad Expires December 12, 2015 [Page 10] Internet-Draft CBOR Encoded Message Syntax June 2015 5.1.1. Direct Encryption In direct encryption mode, a shared secret between the sender and the recipient is used as the CEK. When direct encryption mode is used, it MUST be the only mode used on the message. It is a massive security leak to have both direct encryption and a different key management mode on the same message. For JOSE, direct encryption key management is the only key management method allowed for doing MAC-ed messages. In COSE, all of the key management methods can be used for MAC-ed messages. The COSE_encrypt structure for the recipient is organized as follows: o The 'protected', 'iv', 'aad', 'ciphertext' and 'recipients' fields MUST be absent. o At a minimum, the 'unprotected' field SHOULD contain the 'alg' parameter as well as a parameter identifying the shared secret. 5.1.2. Key Wrapping In key wrapping mode, the CEK is randomly generated and that key is then encrypted by a shared secret between the sender and the recipient. All of the currently defined key wrapping algorithms for JOSE (and thus for COSE) are AE algorithms. Key wrapping mode is considered to be superior to direct encryption if the system has any capability for doing random key generation. This is because the shared key is used to wrap random data rather than data has some degree of organization and may in fact be repeating the same content. The COSE_encrypt structure for the recipient is organized as follows: o The 'protected', 'aad', and 'recipients' fields MUST be absent. o The plain text to be encrypted is the key from next layer down (usually the content layer). o At a minimum, the 'unprotected' field SHOULD contain the 'alg' parameter as well as a parameter identifying the shared secret. o Use of the 'iv' field will depend on the key wrap algorithm. 5.1.3. Key Encryption Key Encryption mode is also called key transport mode in some standards. Key Encryption mode differs from Key Wrap mode in that it uses an asymmetric encryption algorithm rather than a symmetric Schaad Expires December 12, 2015 [Page 11] Internet-Draft CBOR Encoded Message Syntax June 2015 encryption algorithm to protect the key. The only current Key Encryption mode algorithm supported is RSAES-OAEP. The COSE_encrypt structure for the recipient is organized as follows: o The 'protected', 'aad', and 'iv' fields MUST be absent. o The plain text to be encrypted is the key from next layer down (usually the content layer). o At a minimum, the 'unprotected' field SHOULD contain the 'alg' parameter as well as a parameter identifying the asymmetric key. 5.1.4. Direct Key Agreement Direct Key Agreement derives the CEK from the shared secret computed by the key agreement operation. When direct key agreement mode is used, it SHOULD be the only mode used on the message. This method creates the CEK directly and that makes it difficult to mix with additional recipients. The COSE_encrypt structure for the recipient is organized as follows: o The 'protected', 'aad', and 'iv' fields MUST be absent. o At a minimum, the 'unprotected' field SHOULD contain the 'alg' parameter as well as a parameter identifying the asymmetric key. o The 'unprotected' field MUST contain the 'epk' parameter. 5.1.5. Key Agreement with Key Wrapping Key Agreement with Key Wrapping uses a randomly generated CEK. The CEK is then encrypted using a Key Wrapping algorithm and a key derived from the shared secret computed by the key agreement algorithm. The COSE_encrypt structure for the recipient is organized as follows: o The 'protected', 'aad', and 'iv' fields MUST be absent. o The plain text to be encrypted is the key from next layer down (usually the content layer). o At a minimum, the 'unprotected' field SHOULD contain the 'alg' parameter, a parameter identifying the recipient asymmetric key, and a parameter with the sender's asymmetric public key. Schaad Expires December 12, 2015 [Page 12] Internet-Draft CBOR Encoded Message Syntax June 2015 5.2. Encryption Algorithm for AEAD algorithms The encryption algorithm for AEAD algorithms is fairly simple. In order to get a consistent encoding of the data to be authenticated, the Enc_structure is used to have canonical form of the AAD. Enc_structure = [ protected => bstr, aad => bstr ] 1. If there is protected data, CBOR encode the map to a byte string and place in the protected field of the Enc_structure and the COSE_Encrypt structure. 2. Copy the 'aad' field from the COSE_Encrypt structure to the Enc_Structure. 3. Encode the Enc_structure using a CBOR Canonical encoding Section 8 to get the AAD value. 4. Encrypt the plain text and place it in the 'ciphertext' field. The AAD value is passed in as part of the encryption process. 5. For recipient of the message, recursively perform the encryption algorithm for that recipient using the encryption key as the plain text. 5.3. Encryption algorithm for AE algorithms 1. Verify that the 'protected' field is absent. 2. Verify that the 'aad' field is absent. 3. Encrypt the plain text and place in the 'ciphertext' field. 6. MAC objects In this section we describe the structure and methods to be used when doing MAC authentication in COSE. JOSE used a variant of the signature structure for doing MAC operations and it is restricted to using a single pre-shared secret to do the authentication. This document allows for the use of all of the same methods of key management as are allowed for encryption. Schaad Expires December 12, 2015 [Page 13] Internet-Draft CBOR Encoded Message Syntax June 2015 When using MAC operations, there are two modes in which it can be used. The first is just a check that the content has not been changed since the MAC was computed. Any of the key management methods can be used for this purpose. The second mode is to both check that the content has not been changed since the MAC was computed, and to use key management to verify who sent it. The key management modes that support this are ones that either use a pre- shared secret, or do static-static key agreement. In both of these cases the entity MAC-ing the message can be validated by a key binding. (The binding of identity assumes that there are only two parties involved and you did not send the message yourself.) COSE_mac = ( Headers, ? payload => bstr, tag => bstr, ? recipients => [+COSE_encrypt_a] ) Field descriptions: protected contains attributes about the payload which are to be protected by the MAC. An example of such an attribute would be the content type ('cty') attribute. The content is a CBOR map of attributes which is encoded to a byte stream. This field MUST NOT contain attributes about the recipient, even if those attributes are common across multiple recipients. At least one of protected and unprotected MUST be present. unprotected contains attributes about the payload which are not protected by the MAC. An example of such an attribute would be the content type ('cty') attribute. This field MUST NOT contain attributes about a recipient, even if the attributes are common across multiple recipients. At least one of protected and unprotected MUST be present. payload contains the serialized content to be MAC-ed. If the payload is not present in the message, the application is required to supply the payload separately. The payload is wrapped in a bstr to ensure that it is transported without changes, if the payload is transported separately it is the responsibility of the application to ensure that it will be transported without changes. tag contains the MAC value. Schaad Expires December 12, 2015 [Page 14] Internet-Draft CBOR Encoded Message Syntax June 2015 recipients contains the recipient information. See the description under COSE_Encryption for more info. MAC_structure = [ protected => bstr, payload => bstr ] How to compute a MAC: 1. Create a MAC_structure and copy the protected and payload elements from the COSE_mac structure. 2. Encode the MAC_structure using a canonical CBOR encoder. The resulting bytes is the value to compute the MAC on. 3. Compute the MAC and place the result in the 'tag' field of the COSE_mac structure. 4. Encrypt and encode the MAC key for each recipient of the message. 7. Key Structure There are only a few changes between JOSE and COSE for how keys are formatted. As with JOSE, COSE uses a map to contain the elements of a key. Those values, which in JOSE, are base64url encoded because they are binary values, are encoded as bstr values in COSE. For COSE we use the same set of fields that were defined in [RFC7517]. COSE_Key = { kty => tstr / int, ? key_ops => [+tstr / int ], ? alg => tstr / int, ? kid => bstr, * keys => values } COSE_KeySet = [+COSE_Key] The element "kty" is a required element in a COSE_Key map. All other elements are optional and not all of the elements listed in [RFC7517] or [RFC7518] have been listed here even though they can all appear in a COSE_Key map. Schaad Expires December 12, 2015 [Page 15] Internet-Draft CBOR Encoded Message Syntax June 2015 The "key_ops" element is prefered over the "use" element as the information provided that way is more finely detailed about the operations allowed. It is strongly suggested that this element be present for all keys. The same fields defined in [RFC7517] are used here with the following changes in rules: o Any item which is base64 encoded in JWK, is bstr encoded for COSE. o Any item which is integer encoded in JWK, is int encoded for COSE. o Any item which is string (but not base64) encoded in JWK, is tstr encoded for COSE. Exceptions to this are the following fields: kid is always bstr encoded rather than tstr encoded. This change in encoded is due to the fact that frequently, values such as a hash of the public key is used for a kid value. Since the field is defined as not having a specific structure, making it binary rather than textual makes sense. 8. CBOR Encoder Restrictions There as been an attempt to resrict the number of places where the document needs to impose restrictions on how the CBOR Encoder needs to work. We have managed to narrow it down to the following restrictions: o The restriction applies to the encoding the Sig_structure, the Enc_structure, and the MAC_structure. o The rules for Canonical CBOR (Section 3.9 of RFC 7049) MUST be used in these locations. The main rule that needs to be enforced is that all lengths in these structures MUST be encoded such that they are encoded using definite lengths and the minimum length encoding is used. o All parsers used SHOULD fail on both parsing and generation if the same key is used twice in a map. While it is permitted to have key values other than those specified in this document in the outer maps (COSE_Sign, COSE_Signature, COSE_encrypt, COSE_recipient and COSE_mac), doing so is not encouraged. Applications should make a determination if it will be Schaad Expires December 12, 2015 [Page 16] Internet-Draft CBOR Encoded Message Syntax June 2015 permitted for that application. In general, any needed new fields can be accomadated by the introduction of new header fields to be carried in the protected or unprotected fields.

Without this change, old applications will not see and process the new fields. 9. IANA Considerations 9.1. CBOR Tag assignment It is requested that IANA assign a new tag from the "Concise Binary Object Represetion (CBOR) Tags" registry. It is requested that the tag be assigned in the 0 to 23 value range. Tag Value: TBD1 Data Item: CBOR map Semantics: COSE security message. 9.2. COSE Parameter Table 9.3. COSE Header Key Table It is requested that IANA create a new registry entitled "COSE Header Key". The columns of the registry are: name The name is present to make it easier to refer to and discuss the registration entry. The value is not used in the protocol. Names are to be unique in the table. key This is the value used for the key. The key can be either an integer or a string. Registration in the table is based on the value of the key requested. Integer values between 0 and 255 and strings of length 1 are designated as Standards Track Document required. Integer values from 256 to 65535 and strings of length 2 are designated as Specification Required. Integer values of greater than 65535 and strings of length greater than 2 are designated as first come first server. Integer values in the range -1 to -65536 are delegated to the "COSE Header Algorithm Key" registry. Integer values beyond -65536 are marked as private use. value This contains the CBOR type for the value portion of the key.

Protect private keys Schaad Expires December 12, 2015 [Page 20] Internet-Draft CBOR Encoded Message Syntax June 2015 2. MAC messages with more than one recipient means one cannot figure out who sent the message 3. Use of direct key with other recipient structures hands the key to other recipients. 4. Use of direcct ECDH direct encryption is easy for people to leak information on if there are other recipients in the message. 5. Considerations about protected vs unprotected header fields. 11.

AEAD and AE algorithms The set of encryption algorithms that can be used with this specification is restricted to authenticated encryption (AE) and authenticated encryption with additional data (AEAD) algorithms. This means that there is a strong check that the data decrypted by the recipient is the same as what was encrypted by the sender. Encryption modes such as counter have no check on this at all. The CBC encryption mode had a weak check that the data is correct, given a random key and random data, the CBC padding check will pass one out of 256 times. There have been several times that a normal encryption mode has been combined with an integrity check to provide a content encryption mode that does provide the necessary authentication. AES- GCM [AES-GCM], AES-CCM [RFC3610], AES-CBC-HMAC [I-D.mcgrew-aead-aes-cbc-hmac-sha2] are examples of these composite modes. 2PKCS v1.5 RSA key transport does not qualify as an AE algorithm. There are only three bytes in the encoding that can be checked as having decrypted correctly, the rest of the content can only be probabilistically checked as having decrypted correctly. For this reason, PKCS v1.5 RSA key transport MUST NOT be used with this Schaad Expires December 12, 2015 [Page 22] Internet-Draft CBOR Encoded Message Syntax June 2015 specification. RSA-OAEP was designed to have the necessary checks that that content correctly decrypted and does qualify as an AE algorithm. When dealing with authenticated encryption algorithms, there is always some type of value that needs to be checked to see if the authentication level has passed. This authentication value may be: o A separately generated tag computed by both the encrypter and decrypter and then compared by the decryptor. This tag value may be either placed at the end of the cipher text (the decision we made) or kept separately (the decision made by the JOSE working group). This is the approach followed by AES-GCM [AES-GCM] and AES-CCM [RFC3610]. o A fixed value which is part of the encoded plain text. This is the approach followed by the AES key wrap algorithm [RFC3394]. o A computed value is included as part of the encoded plain text. The computed value is then checked by the decryptor using the same computation path. This is the approach followed by RSAES-OAEP [RFC3447]. Appendix B. Three Levels of Recipient Information All of the currently defined Key Management methods only use two levels of the COSE_Encrypt structure. The first level is the message content and the second level is the content key encryption. However, if one uses a key management technique such as RSA-KEM (see Appendix A of RSA-KEM [RFC5990], then it make sense to have three levels of the COSE_Encrypt structure. These levels would be: o Level 0: The content encryption level. This level contains the payload of the message. o Level 1: The encryption of the CEK by a KEK. o Level 2: The encryption of a long random secret using an RSA key and a key derivation function to convert that secret into the KEK.
