1. Introduction

 This document defines an efficient use of Identity-Based Encryption
 (IBE) based on bilinear pairings.  The Sakai-Kasahara IBE
 cryptosystem [S-K] is described for establishment of a shared secret
 value.  This document adds to the IBE options available in [RFC5091],
 providing an efficient primitive and an additional family of curves.
 This document is restricted to a particular family of curves (see
 Section 2.1) that have the benefit of a simple and efficient method
 of calculating the pairing on which the Sakai-Kasahara IBE
 cryptosystem is based.
 IBE schemes allow public and private keys to be derived from
 Identifiers.  In fact, the Identifier can itself be viewed as
 corresponding to a public key or certificate in a traditional public
 key system.  However, in IBE, the Identifier can be formed by both
 Sender and Receiver, which obviates the necessity of providing public
 keys through a third party or of transmitting certified public keys

Groves Informational [Page 2] RFC 6508 SAKKE February 2012

 during each session establishment.  Furthermore, in an IBE system,
 calculation of keys can occur as needed, and indeed, messages can be
 sent to users who are yet to enroll.
 The Sakai-Kasahara primitive described in this document supports
 simplex transmission of messages from a Sender to a Receiver.  The
 choice of elliptic curve pairing on which the primitive is based
 allows simple and efficient implementations.
 The Sakai-Kasahara Key Encryption scheme described in this document
 is drawn from the Sakai-Kasahara Key Encapsulation Mechanism (SK-KEM)
 scheme (as modified to support multi-party communications) submitted
 to the IEEE P1363 Working Group in [SK-KEM].

1.1. Requirements Terminology

 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].

2. Notation and Definitions

2.1. Notation

 n      A security parameter; the size of symmetric keys in bits to be
        exchanged by SAKKE.
 p      A prime, which is the order of the finite field F_p.  In this
        document, p is always congruent to 3 modulo 4.
 F_p    The finite field of order p.
 F*     The multiplicative group of the non-zero elements in the field
        F; e.g., (F_p)* is the multiplicative group of the finite
        field F_p.
 q      An odd prime that divides p + 1.  To provide the desired level
        of security, lg(q) MUST be greater than 2*n.
 E      An elliptic curve defined over F_p, having a subgroup of order
        q.  In this document, we use supersingular curves with
        equation y^2 = x^3 - 3 * x modulo p.  This curve is chosen
        because of the efficiency and simplicity advantages it offers.
        The choice of -3 for the coefficient of x provides advantages
        for elliptic curve arithmetic that are explained in [P1363].
        A further reason for this choice of curve is that Barreto's
        trick [Barreto] of eliminating the computation of the
        denominators when calculating the pairing applies.

Groves Informational [Page 3] RFC 6508 SAKKE February 2012

 E(F)   The additive group of points of affine coordinates (x,y) with
        x, y in the field F, that satisfy the curve equation for E.
 P      A point of E(F_p) that generates the cyclic subgroup of order
        q.  The coordinates of P are given by P = (P_x,P_y).  These
        coordinates are in F_p, and they satisfy the curve equation.
 0      The null element of any additive group of points on an
        elliptic curve, also called the point at infinity.
 F_p^2  The extension field of degree 2 of the field F_p.  In this
        document, we use a particular instantiation of this field;
        F_p^2 = F_p[i], where i^2 + 1 = 0.
 PF_p   The projectivization of F_p.  We define this to be
        (F_p^2)*/(F_p)*.  Note that PF_p is cyclic and has order
        p + 1, which is divisible by q.
 G[q]   The q-torsion of a group G.  This is the subgroup generated by
        points of order q in G.
 < , >  A version of the Tate-Lichtenbaum pairing.  In this document,
        this is a bilinear map from E(F_p)[q] x E(F_p)[q] onto the
        subgroup of order q in PF_p.  A full definition is given in
        Section 3.2.
 Hash   A cryptographic hash function.
 lg(x)  The base 2 logarithm of the real value x.
 The following conventions are assumed for curve operations:
    Point addition - If A and B are two points on a curve E, their sum
       is denoted as A + B.
    Scalar multiplication - If A is a point on a curve, and k an
       integer, the result of adding A to itself a total of k times is
       denoted [k]A.
 We assume that the following concrete representations of mathematical
 objects are used:
    Elements of F_p - The p elements of F_p are represented directly
       using the integers from 0 to p-1.
    Elements of F_p^2 - The elements of F_p^2 = F_p[i] are represented
       as x_1 + i * x_2, where x_1 and x_2 are elements of F_p.

Groves Informational [Page 4] RFC 6508 SAKKE February 2012

    Elements of PF_p - Elements of PF_p are cosets of (F_p)* in
       (F_p^2)*.  Every element of F_p^2 can be written unambiguously
       in the form x_1 + i * x_2, where x_1 and x_2 are elements of
       F_p.  Thus, elements of PF_p (except the unique element of
       order 2) can be represented unambiguously by x_2/x_1 in F_p.
       Since q is odd, every element of PF_p[q] can be represented by
       an element of F_p in this manner.
 This representation of elements in PF_p[q] allows efficient
 implementation of PF_p[q] group operations, as these can be defined
 using arithmetic in F_p.  If a and b are elements of F_p representing
 elements A and B of PF_p[q], respectively, then A * B in PF_p[q] is
 represented by (a + b)/(1 - a * b) in F_p.

2.2. Definitions

 Identifier - Each user of an IBE system MUST have a unique,
    unambiguous identifying string that can be easily derived by all
    valid communicants.  This string is the user's Identifier.  An
    Identifier is an integer in the range 2 to q-1.  The method by
    which Identifiers are formed MUST be defined for each application.
 Key Management Service (KMS) - The Key Management Service is a
    trusted third party for the IBE system.  It derives system secrets
    and distributes key material to those authorized to obtain it.
    Applications MAY support mutual communication between the users of
    multiple KMSs.  We denote KMSs by KMS_T, KMS_S, etc.
 Public parameters - The public parameters are a set of parameters
    that are held by all users of an IBE system.  Such a system MAY
    contain multiple KMSs.  Each application of SAKKE MUST define the
    set of public parameters to be used.  The parameters needed are p,
    q, E, P, g=<P,P>, Hash, and n.
 Master Secret (z_T) - The Master Secret z_T is the master key
    generated and privately kept by KMS_T and is used by KMS_T to
    generate the private keys of the users that it provisions; it is
    an integer in the range 2 to q-1.
 KMS Public Key: Z_T = [z_T]P - The KMS Public Key Z_T is used to form
    Public Key Establishment Keys for all users provisioned by KMS_T;
    it is a point of order q in E(F_p).  It MUST be provisioned by
    KMS_T to all who are authorized to send messages to users of the
    IBE system.

Groves Informational [Page 5] RFC 6508 SAKKE February 2012

 Receiver Secret Key (RSK) - Each user enrolled in an IBE system is
    provisioned with a Receiver Secret Key by its KMS.  The RSK
    provided to a user with Identifier 'a' by KMS_T is denoted
    K_(a,T).  In SAKKE, the RSK is a point of order q in E(F_p).
 Shared Secret Value (SSV) - The aim of the SAKKE scheme is for the
    Sender to securely transmit a shared secret value to the Receiver.
    The SSV is an integer in the range 0 to (2^n) - 1.
 Encapsulated Data - The Encapsulated Data are used to transmit secret
    information securely to the Receiver.  They can be computed
    directly from the Receiver's Identifier, the public parameters,
    the KMS Public Key, and the SSV to be transmitted.  In SAKKE, the
    Encapsulated Data are a point of order q in E(F_p) and an integer
    in the range 0 to (2^n) - 1.  They are formatted as described in
    Section 4.

2.3. Parameters to Be Defined or Negotiated

 In order for an application to make use of the SAKKE algorithm, the
 communicating hosts MUST agree on values for several of the
 parameters described above.  The curve equation (E) and the pairing
 (< , >) are constant and used for all applications.
 For the following parameters, each application MUST either define an
 application-specific constant value or define a mechanism for hosts
 to negotiate a value:
  • n
  • p
  • q
  • P = (P_x,P_y)
  • g = <P,P>
  • Hash

Groves Informational [Page 6] RFC 6508 SAKKE February 2012

3. Elliptic Curves and Pairings

 E is a supersingular elliptic curve (of j-invariant 1728).  E(F_p)
 contains a cyclic subgroup of order q, denoted E(F_p)[q], whereas the
 larger object E(F_p^2) contains the direct product of two cyclic
 subgroups of order q, denoted E(F_p^2)[q].
 P is a generator of E(F_p)[q].  It is specified by the (affine)
 coordinates (P_x,P_y) in F_p, satisfying the curve equation.
 Routines for point addition and doubling on E(F_p) can be found in
 Appendix A.10 of [P1363].

3.1. E(F_p^2) and the Distortion Map

 If (Q_x,Q_y) are (affine) coordinates in F_p for some point (denoted
 Q) on E(F_p)[q], then (-Q_x,iQ_y) are (affine) coordinates in F_p^2
 for some point on E(F_p^2)[q].  This latter point is denoted [i]Q, by
 analogy with the definition for scalar multiplication.  The two
 points P and [i]P together generate E(F_p^2)[q].  The map [i]: E(F_p)
 -> E(F_p^2) is sometimes termed the distortion map.

3.2. The Tate-Lichtenbaum Pairing

 We proceed to describe the pairing < , > to be used in SAKKE.  We
 will need to evaluate polynomials f_R that depend on points on
 E(F_p)[q].  Miller's algorithm [Miller] provides a method for
 evaluation of f_R(X), where X is some element of E(F_p^2)[q] and R is
 some element of E(F_p)[q] and f_R is some polynomial over F_p whose
 divisor is (q)(R) - (q)(0).  Note that f_R is defined only up to
 scalars of F_p.
 The version of the Tate-Lichtenbaum pairing used in this document is
 given by <R,Q> = f_R([i]Q)^c / (F_p)*.  It satisfies the bilinear
 relation <[x]R,Q> = <R,[x]Q> = <R,Q>^x for all Q, R in E(F_p)[q], for
 all integers x.  Note that the domain of definition is restricted to
 E(F_p)[q] x E(F_p)[q] so that certain optimizations are natural.
 We provide pseudocode for computing <R,Q>, with elliptic curve
 arithmetic expressed in affine coordinates.  We make use of Barreto's
 trick [Barreto] for avoiding the calculation of denominators.  Note
 that this section does not fully describe the most efficient way of
 computing the pairing; it is possible to compute the pairing without
 any explicit reference to the extension field F_p^2.  This reduces
 the number and complexity of the operations needed to compute the
 pairing.

4. Representation of Values

 This section provides canonical representations of values that MUST
 be used to ensure interoperability of implementations.  The following
 representations MUST be used for input into hash functions and for
 transmission.
 Integers           Integers MUST be represented as an octet string,
                    with bit length a multiple of 8.  To achieve this,
                    the integer is represented most significant bit
                    first, and padded with zero bits on the left until
                    an octet string of the necessary length is
                    obtained.  This is the octet string representation
                    described in Section 6 of [RFC6090].
 F_p elements       Elements of F_p MUST be represented as integers in
                    the range 0 to p-1 using the octet string
                    representation defined above.  Such octet strings
                    MUST have length L = Ceiling(lg(p)/8).
 PF_p elements      Elements of PF_p MUST be represented as an element
                    of F_p using the algorithm in Section 3.2.  They
                    are therefore represented as octet strings as
                    defined above and are L octets in length.
                    Representation of the unique element of order 2 in
                    PF_p will not be required.
 Points on E        Elliptic curve points MUST be represented in
                    uncompressed form as defined in Section 2.2 of
                    [RFC5480].  For an elliptic curve point (x,y) with
                    x and y in F_p, this representation is given by

Groves Informational [Page 9] RFC 6508 SAKKE February 2012

                    0x04 || x' || y', where x' is the octet string
                    representing x, y' is the octet string
                    representing y, and || denotes concatenation.  The
                    representation is 2*L+1 octets in length.
 Encapsulated Data  The Encapsulated Data MUST be represented as an
                    elliptic curve point concatenated with an integer
                    in the range 0 to (2 ^ n) - 1.  Since the length
                    of the representation of elements of F_p is well
                    defined given p, these data can be unambiguously
                    parsed to retrieve their components.  The
                    Encapsulated Data is 2*L + n + 1 octets in length.

5. Supporting Algorithms

5.1. Hashing to an Integer Range

 We use the function HashToIntegerRange( s, n, hashfn ) to hash
 strings to an integer range.  Given a string (s), a hash function
 (hashfn), and an integer (n), this function returns a value between 0
 and n - 1.
 Input:
  • an octet string, s
  • an integer, n ⇐ (2^hashlen)^hashlen
  • a hash function, hashfn, with output length hashlen bits
 Output:
  • an integer, v, in the range 0 to n-1
 Method:
    1) Let A = hashfn( s )
    2) Let h_0 = 00...00, a string of null bits of length hashlen bits
    3) Let l = Ceiling(lg(n)/hashlen)
    4) For each i in 1 to l, do:
       a) Let h_i = hashfn(h_(i - 1))
       b) Let v_i = hashfn(h_i || A), where || denotes concatenation

Groves Informational [Page 10] RFC 6508 SAKKE February 2012

    5) Let v' = v_1 || ...  || v_l
    6) Let v = v' mod n

6. The SAKKE Cryptosystem

 This section describes the Sakai-Kasahara Key Encryption algorithm.
 It draws from the cryptosystem first described in [S-K].

6.1. Setup

 All users share a set of public parameters with a KMS.  In most
 circumstances, it is expected that a system will only use a single
 KMS.  However, it is possible for users provisioned by different KMSs
 to interoperate, provided that they use a common set of public
 parameters and that they each possess the necessary KMS Public Keys.
 In order to facilitate this interoperation, it is anticipated that
 parameters will be published in application-specific standards.
 KMS_T chooses its KMS Master Secret, z_T.  It MUST randomly select a
 value in the range 2 to q-1, and assigns this value to z_T.  It MUST
 derive its KMS Public Key, Z_T, by performing the calculation Z_T =
 [z_T]P.

6.1.1. Secret Key Extraction

 The KMS derives each RSK from an Identifier and its KMS Master
 Secret.  It MUST derive a RSK for each user that it provisions.
 For Identifier 'a', the RSK K_(a,T) provided by KMS_T MUST be derived
 by KMS_T as K_(a,T) = [(a + z_T)^-1]P, where 'a' is interpreted as an
 integer, and the inversion is performed modulo q.

6.1.2. User Provisioning

 The KMS MUST provide its KMS Public Key to all users through an
 authenticated channel.  RSKs MUST be supplied to all users through a
 channel that provides confidentiality and mutual authentication.  The
 mechanisms that provide security for these channels are beyond the
 scope of this document: they are application specific.
 Upon receipt of key material, each user MUST verify its RSK.  For
 Identifier 'a', RSKs from KMS_T are verified by checking that the
 following equation holds: < [a]P + Z, K_(a,T) > = g, where 'a' is
 interpreted as an integer.

Groves Informational [Page 11] RFC 6508 SAKKE February 2012

6.2. Key Exchange

 A Sender forms Encapsulated Data and sends it to the Receiver, who
 processes it.  The result is a shared secret that can be used as
 keying material for securing further communications.  We denote the
 Sender A with Identifier 'a'; we denote the Receiver B with
 Identifier 'b'; Identifiers are to be interpreted as integers in the
 algorithms below.  Let A be provisioned by KMS_T and B be provisioned
 by KMS_S.

6.2.1. Sender

 In order to form Encapsulated Data to send to device B who is
 provisioned by KMS_S, A needs to hold Z_S.  It is anticipated that
 this will have been provided to A by KMS_T along with its User
 Private Keys.  The Sender MUST carry out the following steps:
    1) Select a random ephemeral integer value for the SSV in the
       range 0 to 2^n - 1;
    2) Compute r = HashToIntegerRange( SSV || b, q, Hash );
    3) Compute R_(b,S) = [r]([b]P + Z_S) in E(F_p);
    4) Compute the Hint, H;
       a) Compute g^r.  Note that g is an element of PF_p[q]
          represented by an element of F_p.  Thus, in order to
          calculate g^r, the operation defined in Section 2.1 for
          calculation of A * B in PF_p[q] is to be used as part of a
          square and multiply (or similar) exponentiation algorithm,
          rather than the regular F_p operations;
       b) Compute H := SSV XOR HashToIntegerRange( g^r, 2^n, Hash );
    5) Form the Encapsulated Data ( R_(b,S), H ), and transmit it
       to B;
    6) Output SSV for use to derive key material for the application
       to be keyed.

6.2.2. Receiver

 Device B receives Encapsulated Data from device A.  In order to
 process this, it requires its RSK, K_(b,S), which will have been
 provisioned in advance by KMS_S.  The method by which keys are
 provisioned by the KMS is application specific.  The Receiver MUST
 carry out the following steps to derive and verify the SSV:

Groves Informational [Page 12] RFC 6508 SAKKE February 2012

    1) Parse the Encapsulated Data ( R_(b,S), H ), and extract R_(b,S)
       and H;
    2) Compute w := < R_(b,S), K_(b,S) >.  Note that by bilinearity,
       w = g^r;
    3) Compute SSV = H XOR HashToIntegerRange( w, 2^n, Hash );
    4) Compute r = HashToIntegerRange( SSV || b, q, Hash );
    5) Compute TEST = [r]([b]P + Z_S) in E(F_p).  If TEST does not
       equal R_(b,S), then B MUST NOT use the SSV to derive key
       material;
    6) Output SSV for use to derive key material for the application
       to be keyed.

6.3. Group Communications

 The SAKKE scheme can be used to exchange SSVs for group
 communications.  To provide a shared secret to multiple Receivers, a
 Sender MUST form Encapsulated Data for each of their Identifiers and
 transmit the appropriate data to each Receiver.  Any party possessing
 the group SSV MAY extend the group by forming Encapsulated Data for a
 new group member.
 While the Sender needs to form multiple Encapsulated Data, the fact
 that the sending operation avoids pairings means that the extension
 to multiple Receivers can be carried out more efficiently than for
 alternative IBE schemes that require the Sender to compute a pairing.

7. Security Considerations

 This document describes the SAKKE cryptographic algorithm.  We assume
 that the security provided by this algorithm depends entirely on the
 secrecy of the secret keys it uses, and that for an adversary to
 defeat this security, he will need to perform computationally
 intensive cryptanalytic attacks to recover a secret key.  Note that a
 security proof exists for SAKKE in the Random Oracle Model [SK-KEM].
 When defining public parameters, guidance on parameter sizes from
 [SP800-57] SHOULD be followed.  Note that the size of the F_p^2
 discrete logarithm on which the security rests is 2*lg(p).  Table 1
 shows bits of security afforded by various sizes of p.  If k bits of
 security are needed, then lg(q) SHOULD be chosen to be at least 2*k.
 Similarly, if k bits of security are needed, then a hash with output
 size at least 2*k SHOULD be chosen.

Groves Informational [Page 13] RFC 6508 SAKKE February 2012

       Bits of Security | lg(p)
       -------------------------
       80               |   512
       112              |  1024
       128              |  1536
       192              |  3840
       256              |  7680
    Table 1: Comparable Strengths, Taken from Table 2 of [SP800-57]
 The KMS Master Secret provides the security for each device
 provisioned by the KMS.  It MUST NOT be revealed to any other entity.
 Each user's RSK protects the SAKKE communications it receives.  This
 key MUST NOT be revealed to any entity other than the trusted KMS and
 the authorized user.
 In order to ensure that the RSK is received only by an authorized
 device, it MUST be provided through a secure channel.  The security
 offered by this system is no greater than the security provided by
 this delivery channel.
 Note that IBE systems have different properties than other asymmetric
 cryptographic schemes with regard to key recovery.  The KMS (and
 hence any administrator with appropriate privileges) can create RSKs
 for arbitrary Identifiers, and procedures to monitor the creation of
 RSKs, such as logging of administrator actions, SHOULD be defined by
 any functioning implementation of SAKKE.
 Identifiers MUST be defined unambiguously by each application of
 SAKKE.  Note that it is not necessary to hash the data in a format
 for Identifiers (except in the case where its size would be greater
 than that of q).  In this way, any weaknesses that might be caused by
 collisions in hash functions can be avoided without reliance on the
 structure of the Identifier format.  Applications of SAKKE MAY
 include a time/date component in their Identifier format to ensure
 that Identifiers (and hence RSKs) are only valid for a fixed period
 of time.
 The randomness of values stipulated to be selected at random in
 SAKKE, as described in this document, is essential to the security
 provided by SAKKE.  If the ephemeral value r selected by the Sender
 is not chosen at random, then the SSV, which is used to provide key
 material for further communications, could be predictable.  Guidance
 on the generation of random values for security can be found in
 [RFC4086].
