Introduction Security at the application layer provides an attractive option for protecting Internet of Things (IoT) deployments, for example where transport layer security is not sufficient [I-D.hartke-core-e2e-security-reqs] or where the protocol needs to work on 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) [I-D.ietf-cose-msg]), which builds on the Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) [RFC7049]. Selander, et al. Expires October 27, 2017 [Page 2] Internet-Draft Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman Over COSE (EDHOC) April 2017 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), an authenticated ECDH protocol using CBOR and COSE objects. 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]. EDHOC supports authentication using pre-shared keys (PSK), raw public keys (RPK), and certificates (Cert). Note that this document focuses on authentication and key establishment: for integration with authorization of resource access, refer to [I-D.seitz-ace-oscoap-profile]. This document also specifies the derivation of shared key material. The ECDH exchange and the key derivation follow [SIGMA], NIST SP- 800-56a [SP-800-56a], and HKDF [RFC5869]. CBOR [RFC7049] and COSE [I-D.ietf-cose-msg] are used to implement these standards. 1.1. Terminology This document use the same informational CBOR Data Definition Language (CDDL) [I-D.greevenbosch-appsawg-cbor-cddl] grammar as COSE (see Section 1.3 of [I-D.ietf-cose-msg]). A vertical bar | denotes byte string concatenation. 1.2. Requirements Language The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119]. These words may also appear in this document in lowercase, absent their normative meanings. 2. Protocol Overview SIGMA (SIGn-and-MAc) is a family of theoretical protocols with a large number of variants [SIGMA]. Like IKEv2 and TLS 1.3, EDHOC is built on a variant of the SIGMA protocol which provide identity protection, and like TLS 1.3, EDHOC implements the SIGMA-I variant as Sign-then-MAC. The SIGMA-I protocol using an AEAD algorithm is shown in Figure 1. Selander, et al. Expires October 27, 2017 [Page 3] Internet-Draft Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman Over COSE (EDHOC) April 2017 Party U Party V | E_U | +------------------------------------------------------>| | | | E_V, Enc(K_2; ID_V, Sig(V; E_U, E_V);) | |<------------------------------------------------------+ | | | Enc(K_3; ID_U, Sig(U; E_V, E_U);) | +------------------------------------------------------>| | | Figure 1: AEAD variant of the SIGMA-I protocol The parties exchanging messages are called "U" and "V". They exchange identities and ephemeral public keys, compute the shared secret, and derive the keying material. The messages are signed, MACed, and encrypted. o E_U and E_V are the ECDH ephemeral public keys of U and V, respectively. o ID_U and ID_V are identifiers for the public keys of U and V, respectively. o Sig(U; . ) and S(V; . ) denote signatures made with the private key of U and V, respectively. o Enc(K; P; A) denotes AEAD encryption of plaintext P and additional authenticated data A using the key K derived from the shared secret. The AEAD MUST NOT be replaced by plain encryption, see Section 8. As described in Appendix B of [SIGMA], in order to create a "full- fledge" protocol some additional protocol elements are needed. EDHOC adds: o Explicit session identifiers S_U, S_V chosen by U and V, respectively. o Explicit nonces N_U, N_V chosen freshly and anew with each session by U and V, respectively. o Computationally independent keys derived from the ECDH shared secret and used for encryption of different messages. EDHOC also makes the following additions: Selander, et al. Expires October 27, 2017 [Page 4] Internet-Draft Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman Over COSE (EDHOC) April 2017 o Negotiation of key derivation, encryption, and signature algorithms: * U proposes one or more algorithms of the following kinds: + HKDF + AEAD + Signature verification + Signature generation * V selects one algorithm of each kind o Verification of common preferred ECDH curve: * U lists supported ECDH curves in order of preference * V verifies that the ECDH curve of the ephemeral key is the most preferred common curve o Transport of opaque application defined 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 and COSE libraries. EDHOC does not put any requirement on the lower layers and can therefore be also be used e.g. in environments without IP. This paper is organized as follows: Section 3 specifies general properties of EDHOC, including formatting of the ephemeral public keys and key derivation, Section 4 specifies EDHOC with asymmetric key authentication, Section 5 specifies EDHOC with symmetric key authentication, and Appendix A provides a wealth of test vectors to ease implementation and ensure interoperability. 3. EDHOC Overview EDHOC consists of three messages (message_1, message_2, message_3) that maps directly to the three messages in SIGMA-I, plus an EDHOC error message. All EDHOC messages consists of a CBOR array where the first element is an int specifying the message type (MSG_TYPE). After creating EDHOC message_3, Party U can derive the traffic key (master secret) and protected application data can therefore be sent Selander, et al. Expires October 27, 2017 [Page 5] Internet-Draft Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman Over COSE (EDHOC) April 2017 in parallel with EDHOC message_3. The application data may e.g. be protected using the negotiated AEAD algorithm. EDHOC may be used with the media type application/edhoc defined in Section 7. Party U Party V | | | ------------------ EDHOC message_1 -----------------> | | | | <----------------- EDHOC message_2 ------------------ | | | | ----------------- EDHOC message_3 ------------------> | | | | <----------- Protected Application Data ------------> | | | Figure 2: EDHOC message flow The EDHOC message exchange may be authenticated using pre-shared keys (PSK), raw public keys (RPK), or certificates (Cert). EDHOC assumes the existence of mechanisms (certification authority, manual distribution, etc.) for binding identities with authentication keys (public or pre-shared). EDHOC with symmetric key authentication is very similar to EDHOC with asymmetric key authentication, the difference being that information is only MACed, not signed. EDHOC also allows application data (APP_1, APP_2, APP_3) to be sent in the respective messages. APP_1 is unprotected, APP_2 is protected (encrypted and integrity protected), and APP_3 is protected and mutually authenticated. When EDHOC is used with asymmetric key authentication APP_2 is sent to an unauthenticated party, but with symmetric key authentication APP_2 is mutually authenticated. 3.1. Formatting of the Ephemeral Public Keys The ECDH ephemeral public key SHALL be formatted as a COSE_Key of type EC2 or OKP according to section 13.1 and 13.2 of [I-D.ietf-cose-msg]. The curve X25519 is mandatory to implement. For Elliptic Curve Keys of type EC2, point compression is mandatory to implement. 3.2. Key Derivation Key and IV derivation SHALL be done as specified in Section 11.1 of [I-D.ietf-cose-msg] with the following input: o The PRF SHALL be the HKDF [RFC5869] in the ECDH-SS w/ HKDF negotiated during the message exchange (HKDF_V). Selander, et al. Expires October 27, 2017 [Page 6] Internet-Draft Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman Over COSE (EDHOC) April 2017 o The secret SHALL be the ECDH shared secret as defined in Section 12.4.1 of [I-D.ietf-cose-msg]. o salt = PSK / nil o The context information SHALL be the serialized COSE_KDF_Context with the following values: * AlgorithmID = tstr / int * PartyInfo = ( nil, nil, nil ) * SuppPubInfo SHALL contain: + keyDataLength int + protected SHALL be a zero length bstr + other = aad_2 / aad_3 / exchange_hash exchange_hash = bstr where exchange_hash, in diagnostic non-normative notation, is: exchange_hash = H( H( message_1 | message_2 ) | message_3 ) where H() is the hash function in HKDF_V, and | denotes byte string concatenation. The salt SHALL only be present in the symmetric case. Symmetric keys and IVs SHALL be derived with the negotiated PRF (HKDF_V) and with the secret set to the ECDH shared secret. For message_i the key and IV, called K_i and IV_i, SHALL be derived using other = aad_i, where i = 2 or 3. The key SHALL be derived using AlgorithmID set to the negotiated AEAD (AEAD_V), and keyDataLength equal to the key length of AEAD_V. The IV SHALL be derived using AlgorithmID = "IV-GENERATION" as specified in section 12.1.2. of [I-D.ietf-cose-msg], and keyDataLength equal to the IV length of AEAD_V. Application specific traffic keys and other data SHALL be derived using other = exchange_hash. AlgorithmID is defined by the application and SHALL be different for different data being derived (an example is given in Appendix C.2). keyDataLength is set to the length of the data being derived.

Overview EDHOC supports authentication with raw public keys (RPK) and certificates (Cert) with the requirements that: o Party U's SHALL be able to identify Party V's public key using ID_V. o Party V's SHALL be able to identify Party U's public key using ID_U. ID_U and ID_V either enable the other party to retrieve the public key (kid, x5t, x5u) or they contain the public key (x5c), see [I-D.schaad-cose-x509]. Party U and party V MAY use different type of credentials, e.g. one uses RPK and the other Cert. Party U and party V MAY use different signature algorithms. EDHOC with asymmetric key authentication is illustrated in Figure 3.

Error Message Format This section defines a message format for an EDHOC error message, used during the protocol. This is an error on EDHOC level and is independent of the transport layer used. 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 array as defined below error = [ MSG_TYPE : int, ? ERR_MSG : tstr ] where: o MSG_TYPE = 0 o ERR_MSG is an optional text string containing the diagnostic payload, defined in the same way as in Section 5.5.2 of [RFC7252]. 7. IANA Considerations 7.1.

Security Considerations EDHOC builds on the SIGMA-I family of theoretical protocols that provides perfect forward secrecy and identity protection with a minimal number of messages. The encryption algorithm of the SIGMA-I protocol provides identity protection, but the security of the protocol requires the MAC to cover the identity of the signer. Hence the message authenticating functionality of the authenticated encryption in EDHOC is critical: authenticated encryption MUST NOT be Selander, et al. Expires October 27, 2017 [Page 22] Internet-Draft Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman Over COSE (EDHOC) April 2017 replaced by plain encryption only, even if authentication is provided at another level or through a different mechanism. EDHOC adds an explicit message type and expands the message authentication coverage to additional elements such as algorithms, application data, and previous messages. EDHOC uses the same Sign- then-MAC approach as TLS 1.3. EDHOC does not include negotiation of parameters related to the ephemeral key, but it enables Party V to verify that the ECDH curve used in the protocol is the most preferred curve by U which is supported by both U and V. Party U and V 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 APP_1 and APP_2 in the asymmetric case, and APP_1 and KID in the symmetric case. The communicating parties may therefore anonymize KID. Using the same KID or unprotected application data in several EDHOC sessions allows passive eavesdroppers to correlate the different sessions. Another consideration is that the list of supported algorithms may be used to identify the application. Party U and V must make sure that unprotected data does not trigger any harmful actions. In particular, this applies to APP_1 in the asymmetric case, and APP_1 and KID in the symmetric case. Party V should be aware that replays of EDHOC message_1 cannot be detected unless previous nonces are stored. 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. If ECDSA is supported, "deterministic ECDSA" as specified in RFC6979 is RECOMMENDED. Nonces MUST NOT be reused, both parties MUST generate fresh random nonces. Ephemeral keys SHOULD NOT be reused, both parties SHOULD generate fresh random ephemeral key pairs. Party V MAY reuse the ephemeral key to limit the effect of certain DoS attacks. For example, to reduce processing costs in the case of repeated uncompleted protocol runs, party V MAY pre-compute its ephemeral key E_V and reuse it for a small number of concurrent EDHOC executions, for example until a number of EDHOC protocol instances has been successfully completed, Selander, et al. Expires October 27, 2017 [Page 23] Internet-Draft Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman Over COSE (EDHOC) April 2017 which triggers party V to pre-compute a new ephemeral key E_V to use with subsequent protocol runs. 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. Party U and V 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 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. Party U and V should enforce a minimum security level. Note that, depending on the application, the keys established through the EDHOC protocol will need to be renewed, in which case the communicating parties need to run the protocol again. Implementations should provide countermeasures to side-channel attacks such as timing attacks. 9.

PSK Chaining An application using EDHOC with symmetric keys may have a security policy to change the PSK as a result of successfully completing the EDHOC protocol.
