1. Introduction
Appendix D.2 of [RFC4210] contains a set of algorithms that is
mandatory to be supported by implementations conforming to [RFC4210].
These algorithms were appropriate at the time CMP was released, but
as cryptographic algorithms weaken over time, some of them should no
longer be used. In general, new attacks are emerging due to research
in cryptanalysis or an increase in computing power. New algorithms
were introduced that are more resistant to today's attacks.
This document lists current cryptographic algorithms that can be used
with CMP to offer an easier way to maintain the list of suitable
algorithms over time.
1.1. 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
BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.
In the following sections, ASN.1 values and types are used to
indicate where algorithm identifier and output values are provided.
These ASN.1 values and types are defined in CMP [RFC4210],
Certificate Request Message Format (CRMF) [RFC4211], CMP Updates
[RFC9480], and Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) [RFC5652].
2. Message Digest Algorithms
This section provides references to object identifiers and
conventions to be employed by CMP implementations that support SHA2
or SHAKE message digest algorithms.
Digest algorithm identifiers are located in the:
* hashAlg field of OOBCertHash and CertStatus,
* owf field of Challenge, PBMParameter, and DHBMParameter,
* digestAlgorithms field of SignedData, and
* digestAlgorithm field of SignerInfo.
Digest values are located in the:
* hashVal field of OOBCertHash,
* certHash field of CertStatus, and
* witness field of Challenge.
In addition, digest values are input to signature algorithms.
2.1. SHA2
The SHA2 algorithm family is defined in FIPS Pub 180-4
[NIST.FIPS.180-4].
The message digest algorithms SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512
are identified by the following OIDs:
id-sha224 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { joint-iso-itu-t(2) country(16)
us(840) organization(1) gov(101) csor(3) nistalgorithm(4)
hashalgs(2) 4 }
id-sha256 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { joint-iso-itu-t(2) country(16)
us(840) organization(1) gov(101) csor(3) nistalgorithm(4)
hashalgs(2) 1 }
id-sha384 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { joint-iso-itu-t(2) country(16)
us(840) organization(1) gov(101) csor(3) nistalgorithm(4)
hashalgs(2) 2 }
id-sha512 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { joint-iso-itu-t(2) country(16)
us(840) organization(1) gov(101) csor(3) nistalgorithm(4)
hashalgs(2) 3 }
Specific conventions to be considered are specified in Section 2 of
[RFC5754].
2.2. SHAKE
The SHA-3 family of hash functions is defined in FIPS Pub 202
[NIST.FIPS.202] and consists of the fixed output length variants
SHA3-224, SHA3-256, SHA3-384, and SHA3-512, as well as the
extendable-output functions (XOFs) SHAKE128 and SHAKE256. Currently,
SHAKE128 and SHAKE256 are the only members of the SHA3-family that
are specified for use in X.509 certificates [RFC8692] and CMS
[RFC8702] as one-way hash functions for use with RSASSA-PSS and
ECDSA.
SHAKE is an extendable-output function, and FIPS Pub 202
[NIST.FIPS.202] prohibits using SHAKE as a general-purpose hash
function. When SHAKE is used in CMP as a message digest algorithm,
the output length MUST be 256 bits for SHAKE128 and 512 bits for
SHAKE256.
The message digest algorithms SHAKE128 and SHAKE256 are identified by
the following OIDs:
id-shake128 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { joint-iso-itu-t(2) country(16)
us(840) organization(1) gov(101) csor(3) nistAlgorithm(4)
hashalgs(2) 11 }
id-shake256 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { joint-iso-itu-t(2) country(16)
us(840) organization(1) gov(101) csor(3) nistAlgorithm(4)
hashalgs(2) 12 }
Specific conventions to be considered are specified in Section 3.1 of
[RFC8702].

4. Key Management Algorithms
CMP utilizes the following general key management techniques: key
agreement, key transport, and passwords.
CRMF [RFC4211] and CMP Updates [RFC9480] promote the use of CMS
EnvelopedData [RFC5652] by deprecating the use of EncryptedValue.

The key agreement algorithm is referred to as PROT_ENC_ALG in
Appendices D and E of [RFC4210] and as KM_KA_ALG in the Lightweight
CMP Profile [RFC9483] and Section 7.
Key agreement algorithms are only used in CMP when using CMS
EnvelopedData [RFC5652] together with the key agreement key
management technique. When a key agreement algorithm is used, a key-
encryption algorithm (Section 4.3) is needed next to the content-
encryption algorithm (Section 5).

4.3. Symmetric Key-Encryption Algorithms
The symmetric key-encryption algorithm is also referred to as
KM_KW_ALG in Section 7.2 and the Lightweight CMP Profile [RFC9483].
As the symmetric key-encryption key management technique is not used
by CMP, the symmetric key-encryption algorithm is only needed when
using the key agreement or password-based key management technique
with CMS [RFC5652] EnvelopedData.
Key wrap algorithm identifiers are located in the:
* parameters field of the KeyEncryptionAlgorithmIdentifier of
KeyAgreeRecipientInfo and PasswordRecipientInfo.
Wrapped content-encryption keys are located in the:
* encryptedKey field of RecipientEncryptedKeys (for key agreement)
and PasswordRecipientInfo (for password-based key management).
4.3.1. AES Key Wrap
The AES encryption algorithm is defined in FIPS Pub 197
[NIST.FIPS.197], and the key wrapping is defined in [RFC3394].
AES key encryption has the algorithm identifier:
id-aes128-wrap OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { joint-iso-itu-t(2)

The underlying encryption functions for the key wrap and content-
encryption algorithms (as specified in Section 5) and the key sizes
for the two algorithms MUST be the same (e.g., AES-128 key wrap
algorithm with AES-128 content-encryption algorithm); see [RFC8551].

The content-encryption algorithm is also referred to as PROT_SYM_ALG
in Appendices D and E of [RFC4210], in the Lightweight CMP Profile
[RFC9483], and in Section 7.
Content-encryption algorithms are used in CMP when using CMS
EnvelopedData [RFC5652] to transport a signed private key package in
case of central key generation or key archiving, a certificate to
facilitate implicit proof-of-possession, or a revocation passphrase
in encrypted form.
Content-encryption algorithm identifiers are located in the:

Appendices D and E of [RFC4210], and the Lightweight CMP Profile
[RFC9483].
6.1. Password-Based MAC
Password-based message authentication code (MAC) algorithms combine
the derivation of a symmetric key from a password or other shared
secret information and a symmetric key-based MAC function, as

Symmetric key-based message authentication code (MAC) algorithms are
used for deriving the symmetric encryption key when using PBKDF2, as
described in Section 4.4.1, as well as with password-based MAC, as
described in Section 6.1.
MAC algorithm identifiers are located in the:
* protectionAlg field of PKIHeader,
* messageAuthScheme field of PBMAC1,
* mac field of PBMParameter, and
* prf field of PBKDF2-params.
MAC values are located in the:
* PKIProtection field of PKIMessage.
6.2.1. SHA2-Based HMAC
The HMAC algorithm is defined in [RFC2104] and FIPS Pub 198-1
[NIST.FIPS.198-1].
The HMAC algorithm used with SHA2 message digest algorithms is
identified by the following OIDs:
id-hmacWithSHA224 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) member-body(2)
us(840) rsadsi(113549) digestAlgorithm(2) 8 }
id-hmacWithSHA256 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) member-body(2)
us(840) rsadsi(113549) digestAlgorithm(2) 9 }
id-hmacWithSHA384 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) member-body(2)
us(840) rsadsi(113549) digestAlgorithm(2) 10 }
id-hmacWithSHA512 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) member-body(2)
us(840) rsadsi(113549) digestAlgorithm(2) 11 }
Specific conventions to be considered for SHA2-based HMAC are
specified in Section 3.1 of [RFC4231].
6.2.2. AES-GMAC
The AES-GMAC algorithm is defined in FIPS Pub 197 [NIST.FIPS.197] and
NIST SP 800-38d [NIST.SP.800-38d].
Note: The AES-GMAC MUST NOT be used twice with the same parameter
set, especially the same nonce. Therefore, it MUST NOT be used
together with PBKDF2. When using it with PBMAC1, it MUST be ensured
that the AES-GMAC is only used as a message authentication scheme and
not for the key derivation function PBKDF2.
The AES-GMAC algorithm is identified by the following OIDs:
id-aes128-GMAC OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { joint-iso-itu-t(2)
country(16) us(840) organization(1) gov(101) csor(3)
nistAlgorithm(4) aes(1) 9 }
id-aes192-GMAC OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { joint-iso-itu-t(2)
country(16) us(840) organization(1) gov(101) csor(3)
nistAlgorithm(4) aes(1) 29 }
id-aes256-GMAC OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { joint-iso-itu-t(2)
country(16) us(840) organization(1) gov(101) csor(3)
nistAlgorithm(4) aes(1) 49 }
Specific conventions to be considered for the AES-GMAC are specified
in [RFC9044].
6.2.3. SHAKE-Based KMAC
The KMAC algorithm is defined in [RFC8702] and FIPS SP 800-185
[NIST.SP.800-185]].
The SHAKE-based KMAC algorithm is identified by the following OIDs:
id-KMACWithSHAKE128 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { joint-iso-itu-t(2)
country(16) us(840) organization(1) gov(101) csor(3)
nistAlgorithm(4) hashAlgs(2) 19 }
id-KMACWithSHAKE256 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { joint-iso-itu-t(2)
country(16) us(840) organization(1) gov(101) csor(3)
nistAlgorithm(4) hashAlgs(2) 20 }
Specific conventions to be considered for KMAC with SHAKE are
specified in Section 3.4 of [RFC8702].
7. Algorithm Use Profiles
This section provides profiles of algorithms and respective
conventions for different application use cases.
Recommendations like those described in Table 2 of NIST SP 800-57
"Recommendation for Key Management" [NIST.SP.800-57pt1r5] and
Section 4.6 of ECRYPT "Algorithms, Key Size and Protocols Report
(2018)" [ECRYPT.CSA.D5.4] provide general information on current
cryptographic algorithms.
The overall cryptographic strength of CMP implementations will depend
on several factors, including:
* capabilities of the end entity: What kind of algorithms does the
end entity support? The cryptographic strength of the system
SHOULD be at least as strong as the algorithms and keys used for
the certificate being managed.
* algorithm profile: The overall strength of the profile will be the
strength of the weakest algorithm it contains.
* message protection: The overall strength of the CMP message
protection.
- MAC-based protection: The entropy of the shared secret
information or password when MAC-based message protection is
used (MSG_MAC_ALG).
- signature-based protection: The strength of the key pair and
signature algorithm when signature-based protection is used
(MSG_SIG_ALG).
- protection of centrally generated keys: The strength of the
algorithms used for the key management technique (Section 7.1:
PROT_ENC_ALG or Section 7.2: KM_KA_ALG, KM_KT_ALG, KM_KD_ALG)
and the encryption of the content-encryption key and private
key (Section 7.1: SYM_PENC_ALG, PROT_SYM_ALG or Section 7.2:
KM_KW_ALG, PROT_SYM_ALG).
The following table shows the algorithms listed in this document
sorted by their bits of security. If an implementation intends to
enroll and manage certificates for keys of a specific security, it
SHALL implement and use algorithms of at least that strength for the
respective PKI management operation. If one row does not provide a
suitable algorithm, the implementer MUST choose one offering more
bits of security.

Table 2: Cryptographic Algorithms Sorted by Their Bits of
Security and Usage by CMP
To avoid consuming too many computational resources, choosing a set
of algorithms offering roughly the same level of security is
recommended. Below are several algorithm profiles that are balanced,
assuming the implementer chooses MAC secrets and/or certificate
profiles of at least equivalent strength.

sha256 as the owf parameter, see Section 2.1 and id-hmacWithSHA256
as the mac parameter, see Section 6.2.1)
PBMAC1: id-PBMAC1, see Section 6.1.2 (with id-PBKDF2 as the key
derivation function, see Section 4.4.1 and id-hmacWithSHA256 as

7.2. Algorithm Profile for Lightweight CMP Profile
The following table contains definitions of algorithms that MAY be
supported by implementations of the Lightweight CMP Profile
[RFC9483].
As the set of algorithms to be used for implementations of the
Lightweight CMP Profile heavily depends on the PKI management
operations implemented, the certificates used for message protection,
and the certificates to be managed, this document will not specify a
specific set that is mandatory to support for conforming
implementations.
The columns in the table are:
Name: An identifier used for message profiles
Use: Description of where and for what the algorithm is used
Examples: Lists the algorithms, as described in this document. The
list of algorithms depends on the set of PKI management operations
to be implemented.
Note: It is RECOMMENDED to prefer the usage of PBMAC1 instead of
PasswordBasedMac.

Table 4: Algorithms Used within the Lightweight CMP Profile
8. IANA Considerations
This document has no IANA actions.
9. Security Considerations
This document lists many cryptographic algorithms usable with CMP to
offer implementers a more up-to-date choice. Finally, the algorithms
to be supported also heavily depend on the certificates and PKI
management operations utilized in the target environment. The
algorithm with the lowest security strength and the entropy of shared
secret information defines the security of the overall solution; see
Section 7.
When using MAC-based message protection, the use of PBMAC1 is
preferable to that of PasswordBasedMac. First, PBMAC1 is a well-
known scrutinized algorithm, which is not true for PasswordBasedMac.
Second, the PasswordBasedMac algorithm as specified in Section 4.4 of
[RFC4211] is essentially PBKDF1 (as defined in Section 5.1 of
[RFC8018]) with an HMAC step at the end. Here, we update to use the
PBKDF2-HMAC construct defined as PBMAC1 in [RFC8018]. PBKDF2 is
superior to PBKDF1 in an improved internal construct for iterated
hashing and in removing PBKDF1's limitation of only being able to
derive keys up to the size of the underlying hash function.
Additionally, PBKDF1 is not recommended for new applications as
stated in Section 5.1 of [RFC8018] and is no longer an approved
algorithm by most standards bodies. Therefore, it presents
difficulties to implementers who are submitting their CMP
implementations for certification, hence moving to a PBKDF2-based
mechanism. This change is in alignment with [RFC9045], which updates
[RFC4211] to allow the use of PBMAC1 in CRMF.
The AES-GMAC MUST NOT be used as the pseudorandom function (PRF) in
PBKDF2; the use of the AES-GMAC more than once with the same key and
the same nonce will break the security.
In Section 7 of this document, there is also an update to
Appendix D.2 of [RFC4210] and a set of algorithms that MAY be
supported when implementing the Lightweight CMP Profile [RFC9483].
It is recognized that there may be older CMP implementations in use
that conform to the algorithm use profile from Appendix D.2 of
[RFC4210]. For example, the use of AES is now mandatory for
PROT_SYM_ALG, while 3-DES was mandatory in [RFC4210]. Therefore, it
is expected that many CMP systems may already support the recommended
algorithms in this specification. In such systems, the weakened
algorithms should be disabled from further use. If critical systems
cannot be immediately updated to conform to the recommended algorithm
use profile, it is recommended that a plan to migrate the
infrastructure to conforming profiles be adopted as soon as possible.
Symmetric key-based MAC algorithms as described in Section 6.2 MAY be
used as MSG_MAC_ALG. The implementer MUST choose a suitable PRF and
ensure that the key has sufficient entropy to match the overall
security level of the algorithm profile. These considerations are
outside the scope of the profile.
