        Terminology for Post-Quantum Traditional Hybrid Schemes
                draft-driscoll-pqt-hybrid-terminology-02

Abstract

   One aspect of the transition to post-quantum algorithms in
   cryptographic protocols is the development of hybrid schemes that
   incorporate both post-quantum and traditional asymmetric algorithms.
   This document defines terminology for such schemes.  It is intended
   to be used as a reference and, hopefully, to ensure consistency and
   clarity across different protocols, standards, and organisations.

1.  Introduction

   The mathematical problems of integer factorisation and discrete
   logarithms over finite fields or elliptic curves underpin most of the
   asymmetric algorithms used for key establishment and digital
   signatures on the internet.  These problems, and hence the algorithms
   based on them, will be vulnerable to attacks using Shor's Algorithm
   on a sufficiently large general-purpose quantum computer, known as a
   Cryptographically Relevant Quantum Computer (CRQC).  It is difficult
   to predict when, or if, such a device will exist.  However, it is
   necessary to anticipate and prepare to defend against such a
   development.  Data encrypted today (2023) with an algorithm
   vulnerable to a quantum computer could be stored for decryption by a
   future attacker with a CRQC.  Signing algorithms in products that are
   expected to be in use for many years are also at risk if a CRQC is
   developed during the operational lifetime of that product.

   Preparing for the potential development of a CRQC requires modifying
   established (standardised) protocols to use asymmetric algorithms
   that are perceived to be secure against quantum computers as well as
   today's classical computers.  These algorithms are called post-
   quantum, while algorithms based on integer factorisation, finite-
   field discrete logarithms or elliptic-curve discrete logarithms are
   called traditional algorithms.

   During the transition from traditional to post-quantum algorithms,
   there may be a desire or a requirement for protocols that use both
   algorithm types.  A designer may choose to combine a post-quantum
   algorithm with a traditional algorithm to add protection against an
   attacker with a CRQC to the security properties provided by the
   traditional algorithm.  They may also choose to implement a post-
   quantum algorithm alongside a traditional algorithm for ease of
   migration from an ecosystem where only traditional algorithms are
   implemented and used, to one that only uses post-quantum algorithms.
   Examples of solutions that could use both types of algorithm include,
   but are not limited to, [I-D.ietf-ipsecme-ikev2-multiple-ke],
   [I-D.ietf-tls-hybrid-design], [I-D.ounsworth-pq-composite-sigs], and
   [I-D.ietf-lamps-cert-binding-for-multi-auth].  Schemes that combine
   post-quantum and traditional algorithms for key establishment or
   digital signatures are often called hybrids.  For example:

   *  NIST defines hybrid key establishment to be a "scheme that is a
      combination of two or more components that are themselves
      cryptographic key-establishment schemes" [NIST_PQC_FAQ];

   *  ETSI defines hybrid key exchanges to be "constructions that
      combine a traditional key exchange ... with a post-quantum key
      exchange ... into a single key exchange" [ETSI_TS103774].

   The word "hybrid" is also used in cryptography to describe encryption
   schemes that combine asymmetric and symmetric algorithms [RFC4949],
   so using it in the post-quantum context overloads it and risks
   misunderstandings.  However, this terminology is well-established
   amongst the post-quantum cryptography (PQC) community.  Therefore, an
   attempt to move away from its use for PQC could lead to multiple
   definitions for the same concept, resulting in confusion and lack of
   clarity.

   This document provides language for constructions that combine
   traditional and post-quantum algorithms.  Specific solutions for
   enabling use of multiple asymmetric algorithms in cryptographic
   schemes may be more general than this, allowing the use of solely
   traditional or solely post-quantum algorithms.  However, where
   relevant, we focus on post-quantum traditional combinations as these
   are the motivation for the wider work in the IETF.  This document is
   intended as a reference terminology guide for other documents to add
   clarity and consistency across different protocols, standards, and
   organisations.  Additionally, this document aims to reduce
   misunderstanding about use of the word "hybrid" as well as defining a
   shared language for different types of post-quantum traditional
   hybrid constructions.

   In this document, a "cryptographic algorithm" is defined, as in
   [NIST_SP_800-152], to be a "well-defined computational procedure that
   takes variable inputs, often including a cryptographic key, and
   produces an output".  Examples include RSA, ECDH, CRYSTALS-Kyber and
   CRYSTALS-Dilithium.  The expression "cryptographic scheme" is used to
   refer to a construction that uses a cryptographic algorithm or a
   group of cryptographic algorithms to achieve a particular
   cryptographic outcome, e.g., key agreement.  A cryptographic scheme
   may be made up of a number of functions.  For example, a Key
   Encapsulation Mechanism (KEM) is a cryptographic scheme consisting of
   three functions: Key Generation, Encapsulation, and Decapsulation.  A
   cryptographic protocol incorporates one or more cryptographic
   schemes.  For example, TLS [RFC8446] is a cryptographic protocol that
   includes schemes for key agreement, record layer encryption, and
   server authentication.

2.  Primitives

   This section introduces terminology related to cryptographic
   algorithms and to hybrid constructions for cryptographic schemes.

   *Traditional Algorithm*:  An asymmetric cryptographic algorithm based
      on integer factorisation, finite field discrete logarithms or
      elliptic curve discrete logarithms.

   *Post-Quantum Algorithm*:  An asymmetric cryptographic algorithm that
      is believed to be secure against attacks using quantum computers
      as well as classical computers.

   *Component Algorithm*:  Each cryptographic algorithm that forms part
      of a cryptographic scheme.

   *Single-Algorithm Scheme*:  A cryptographic scheme with one component
      algorithm.

      A single-algorithm scheme could use either a traditional algorithm
      or a post-quantum algorithm.

   *Multi-Algorithm Scheme*:  A cryptographic scheme with more than one
      component algorithm.

      In a multi-algorithm scheme all component algorithms are of the
      same type; e.g., all are signature algorithms or all are Public
      Key Encryption (PKE) algorithms.  Component algorithms could be
      all traditional, all post-quantum, or a mixture of the two.

   *Post-Quantum Traditional (PQ/T) Hybrid Scheme*:  A multi-algorithm

Internet-Draft           PQ/T Hybrid Terminology              March 2023


      scheme where at least one component algorithm is a post-quantum
      algorithm and at least one is a traditional algorithm.

   *PQ/T Hybrid Key Encapsulation Mechanism (KEM)*:  A multi-algorithm
      KEM made up of two or more component KEM algorithms where at least
      one is a post-quantum algorithm and at least one is a traditional
      algorithm.

   *PQ/T Hybrid Public Key Encryption (PKE)*:  A multi-algorithm PKE
      scheme made up of two or more component PKE algorithms where at
      least one is a post-quantum algorithm and at least one is a
      traditional algorithm.

   *PQ/T Hybrid Digital Signature*:  A multi-algorithm digital signature
      scheme made up of two or more component digital signature
      algorithms where at least one is a post-quantum algorithm and at
      least one is a traditional algorithm.

      PQ/T hybrid KEMs, PQ/T hybrid PKE, and PQ/T hybrid digital
      signatures are all examples of PQ/T hybrid schemes.

   *PQ/T Hybrid Combiner*:  A method that takes two or more component
      algorithms and combines them to form a PQ/T hybrid scheme.

   *PQ/PQ Hybrid Scheme*:  A multi-algorithm scheme where all components
      are post-quantum algorithms.

      The definitions for types of PQ/T hybrid schemes can adapted to
      define types of PQ/PQ hybrid schemes, which are multi-algorithm
      schemes where all component algorithms are Post-Quantum
      algorithms.

3.  Cryptographic Elements

   This section introduces terminology related to cryptographic elements
   and their inclusion in hybrid schemes.

   *Cryptographic Element*:  Any data type (private or public) that
      contains an input or output value for a cryptographic algorithm or
      for a function making up a cryptographic algorithm.

      Types of cryptographic elements include public keys, private keys,
      plaintexts, ciphertexts, shared secrets, and signature values.

   *Component Cryptographic Element*:  A cryptographic element of a
      component algorithm in a multi-algorithm scheme.

Internet-Draft           PQ/T Hybrid Terminology              March 2023


      For example, in [I-D.ietf-tls-hybrid-design], the client's
      keyshare contains two component public keys, one for a post-
      quantum algorithm and one for a traditional algorithm.

   *Composite Cryptographic Element*:  A cryptographic element that
      incorporates multiple component cryptographic elements of the same
      type in a multi-algorithm scheme.

      For example, a composite cryptographic public key is made up of
      two component public keys.

   *Cryptographic Element Combiner*:  A method that takes two or more
      component cryptographic elements of the same type and combines
      them to form a composite cryptographic element.

      A cryptographic element combiner could be concatenation, such as
      where two component public keys are concatenated to form a
      composite public key as in [I-D.ietf-tls-hybrid-design], or
      something more involved such as the dualPRF defined in [BINDEL].

4.  Protocols

   This section introduces terminology related to the use of post-
   quantum and traditional algorithms together in protocols.

   *PQ/T Hybrid Protocol*:  A protocol that uses two or more component
      algorithms providing the same cryptographic functionality, where
      at least one is a post-quantum algorithm and at least one is a
      traditional algorithm.

      For example, a PQ/T hybrid protocol providing confidentiality
      could use a PQ/T hybrid KEM such as in
      [I-D.ietf-tls-hybrid-design], or it could combine the output of a
      post-quantum KEM and a traditional KEM at the protocol level to
      generate a single shared secret, such as in
      [I-D.ietf-ipsecme-ikev2-multiple-ke].  Similarly, a PQ/T hybrid
      protocol providing authentication could use a PQ/T hybrid digital
      signature scheme, or it could include both post-quantum and
      traditional single-algorithm digital signature schemes.

   *Composite PQ/T Hybrid Protocol*:  A protocol that incorporates one
      or more PQ/T hybrid schemes in such a way that the protocol fields
      and message flow are the same as those in a version of the
      protocol that uses single-algorithm schemes.

      In a composite PQ/T hybrid protocol, changes are primarily made to
      the formats of the cryptographic elements, while the protocol
      fields and message flow remain largely unchanged.  In



Driscoll                Expires 8 September 2023                [Page 6]

Internet-Draft           PQ/T Hybrid Terminology              March 2023


      implementations, most changes are likely to be made to the
      cryptographic libraries, with minimal changes to the protocol
      libraries.

   *Non-composite PQ/T Hybrid Protocol*:  A protocol that incorporates
      multiple single-algorithm schemes of the same type, where at least
      one uses a post-quantum algorithm and at least one uses a
      traditional algorithm, in such a way that the formats of the
      component cryptographic elements are the same as when they are
      used as part of single-algorithm schemes.

      In a non-composite PQ/T hybrid protocol, changes are primarily
      made to the protocol fields, the message flow, or both, while
      changes to cryptographic elements are minimised.  In
      implementations, most changes are likely to be made to the
      protocol libraries, with minimal changes to the cryptographic
      libraries.

   It is possible for a PQ/T hybrid protocol to be designed that is
   neither entirely composite nor entirely non-composite.  For example,
   in a protocol that offers both confidentiality and authentication,
   the key establishment could be done in a composite manner while the
   authentication is done in a non-composite manner.

5.  Functionality

   This section describes properties that may be desired from or
   achieved by a PQ/T hybrid scheme or PQ/T hybrid protocol.

   *PQ/T Hybrid Confidentiality*:  The property that confidentiality is
      achieved by a PQ/T hybrid scheme or PQ/T hybrid protocol as long
      as at least one component algorithm that aims to provide this
      property remains secure.

   *PQ/T Hybrid Authentication*:  The property that authentication is
      achieved by a PQ/T hybrid scheme or a PQ/T hybrid protocol as long
      as at least one component algorithm that aims to provide this
      property remains secure.

   EDNOTE 1: It may be useful to distinguish between source
   authentication (i.e., authentication of the sender of a particular
   message) and identity authentication (i.e., authentication of the
   identity of the sender).

   The security properties of a PQ/T hybrid scheme or protocol depend on
   the security of its component algorithms, the choice of PQ/T hybrid
   combiner, and the capability of an attacker.  Changes to the security
   of a component algorithm can impact the security properties of a PQ/T



Driscoll                Expires 8 September 2023                [Page 7]

Internet-Draft           PQ/T Hybrid Terminology              March 2023


   hybrid scheme providing hybrid confidentiality or hybrid
   authentication.  For example, if the post-quantum component algorithm
   of a PQ/T hybrid scheme is broken, the scheme will remain secure
   against an attacker with a classical computer, but will be vulnerable
   to an attacker with a CRQC.

   PQ/T hybrid protocols that offer both confidentiality and
   authentication do not necessarily offer both hybrid confidentiality
   and hybrid authentication.  For example, [I-D.ietf-tls-hybrid-design]
   provides hybrid confidentiality but does not address hybrid
   authentication.  Therefore, if the design in
   [I-D.ietf-tls-hybrid-design] is used with X.509 certificates as
   defined in [RFC5280] only authentication with a single algorithm is
   achieved.

   *PQ/T Hybrid Interoperability*:  The property that a PQ/T hybrid
      scheme or PQ/T hybrid protocol can be completed successfully
      provided that both parties share support for at least one
      component algorithm.

      For example, a PQ/T hybrid digital signature might achieve hybrid
      interoperability if the signature can be verified by either
      verifying the traditional or the post-quantum component, such as
      in the OR modes described in [I-D.ounsworth-pq-composite-sigs].

   In the case of a protocol that aims to achieve both authentication
   and confidentiality, PQ/T hybrid interoperability requires that at
   least one component authentication algorithm and at least one
   component algorithm for confidentiality is supported by both parties.

   It is not possible for a PQ/T hybrid scheme to achieve both PQ/T
   hybrid interoperability and PQ/T hybrid confidentiality without
   additional functionality at a protocol level.  For PQ/T hybrid
   interoperability a scheme needs to work whenever one component
   algorithm is supported by both parties, while to achieve PQ/T hybrid
   confidentiality all component algorithms need to be used.  However,
   both properties can be achieved in a PQ/T hybrid protocol by building
   in downgrade protection external to the cryptographic schemes.  For
   example, in [I-D.ietf-tls-hybrid-design], the client uses the TLS
   supported groups extension to advertise support for a PQ/T hybrid
   scheme and the server can select this group if it supports the
   scheme.  This is protected using TLS's existing downgrade protection,
   so achieves PQ/T hybrid confidentiality, but the connection can still
   be made if either the client or server does not support the PQ/T
   hybrid scheme, so PQ/T hybrid interoperability is achieved.

Internet-Draft           PQ/T Hybrid Terminology              March 2023


   The same is true for PQ/T hybrid interoperability and PQ/T hybrid
   authentication.  It is not possible to achieve both with a PQ/T
   hybrid scheme alone, but it is possible with a PQ/T hybrid protocol
   that has appropriate downgrade protection.

   EDNOTE 2: Other properties may be desired from a PQ/T Hybrid scheme
   e.g. backwards compatibility, crypt agility.  Should these be defined
   here?

6.  Certificates

   This section introduces terminology related to the use of
   certificates in hybrid schemes.

   *PQ/T Hybrid Certificate*:  A digital certificate that contains
      public keys for two or more component algorithms where at least
      one is a traditional algorithm and at least one is a post-quantum
      algorithm.

      A PQ/T hybrid certificate could be used to facilitate a PQ/T
      hybrid authentication protocol.  However, a PQ/T hybrid
      authentication protocol does not need to use a PQ/T hybrid
      certificate; separate certificates could be used for individual
      component algorithms.

      The component public keys in a PQ/T hybrid certificate could be
      included as a composite public key or as individual component
      public keys.

   The use of a PQ/T hybrid certificate does not necessarily achieve
   hybrid authentication of the identity of the sender; this is
   determined by properties of the chain of trust.  For example, an end-
   entity certificate that contains a composite public key as defined in
   [I-D.ounsworth-pq-composite-keys] but which is signed using a single-
   algorithm digital signature scheme could be used to provide hybrid
   authentication of the source of a message, but would not achieve
   hybrid authentication of the identity of the sender.

   *Post-Quantum Certificate*:  A digital certificate that contains a
      single public key for a post-quantum digital signature algorithm.

   *Traditional Certificate*:  A digital certificate that contains a
      single public key for a traditional digital signature algorithm.








Driscoll                Expires 8 September 2023                [Page 9]

Internet-Draft           PQ/T Hybrid Terminology              March 2023


      X.509 certificates as defined in [RFC5280] could be either
      traditional or post-quantum certificates depending on the
      algorithm in the Subject Public Key Info.  For example, a
      certificate containing a Dilithium public key, as defined in
      [I-D.ietf-lamps-dilithium-certificates], would be a post-quantum
      certificate.

   *Post-Quantum Certificate Chain*:  A certificate chain where each
      certificate includes a public key for a post-quantum algorithm and
      is signed using a post-quantum digital signature scheme.

   *Traditional Certificate Chain*:  A certificate chain where all
      certificates includes a public key for a traditional algorithm and
      is signed using a traditional digital signature scheme.

   *PQ/T Hybrid Certificate Chain*:  A certificate chain where all
      certificates are PQ/T hybrid certificates and each certificate is
      signed with two or more component algorithms where at least one is
      a traditional algorithm and at least one is a post-quantum
      algorithm.

   A PQ/T hybrid certificate chain is one way of achieving hybrid
   authentication of the identity of a sender in a protocol, but is not
   the only way.  An alternative is to incorporate both a post-quantum
   certificate chain and a traditional certificate chain in a protocol.

   It would be possible to construct a certificate chain containing a
   mixture of post-quantum certificates, traditional certificates and
   PQ/T hybrid certificates.  For example, a post-quantum end-entity
   certificate could be signed by a traditional intermediate
   certificate, which in turn could be signed by a traditional root.
   The security properties of a certificate chain that mixes post-
   quantum and traditional algorithms would need to be analysed on a
   case-by-case basis.

   EDNOTE 3: Do we want a definition of multi-cert authentication or
   something similar?

7.  Algorithm Specification

   This section introduces terminology for specifying the component
   algorithms used in PQ/T hybrid schemes or PQ/T hybrid protocols.

   *PQ/T Hybrid Scheme Identifier*:  A single code point that specifies
      all component algorithms used in a PQ/T hybrid scheme.

8.  Security Considerations

   This document defines security-relevant terminology to be used in
   documents specifying PQ/T hybrid protocols and schemes.  However, the
   document itself does not have a security impact on Internet
   protocols.  The security considerations for each PQ/T hybrid protocol
   are specific to that protocol and should be discussed in the relevant
   specification documents.
