Introduction The HKDF algorithm [RFC5869] is a key derivation function based on the Hashed Message Authentication Code (HMAC). This document assigns algorithm identifiers to the HKDF algorithm when used with three common one-way hash functions. These algorithm identifiers are needed to make use of the HKDF in some security protocols, such as theTheCryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) [RFC5652]. 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. 1.2. ASN.1 In this specification, values are generated using ASN.1 [X.680] using the Basic Encoding Rules (BER) and the Distinguished Encoding Rules (DER) [X.690]. 2. HKDF Algorithm Identifiers This section assigns three algorithmidentifieridentifiers to HKDF [RFC5869] used with three common one-way hash functions that are specified in[SHS],[SHS]: SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512. When any of these three object identifiersappearsappear within the ASN.1 type AlgorithmIdentifier, the parameters component of that type SHALL be absent. The specification of AlgorithmIdentifier is available in [RFC5911], whichis an evolutionevolved from the original definition in X.509 [X.509-88]. The assigned object identifiers are: id-alg-hkdf-with-sha256 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) member-body(2) us(840) rsadsi(113549) pkcs(1) pkcs-9(9) smime(16) alg(3)TBD128 } id-alg-hkdf-with-sha384 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) member-body(2) us(840) rsadsi(113549) pkcs(1) pkcs-9(9) smime(16) alg(3)TBD229 } id-alg-hkdf-with-sha512 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) member-body(2) us(840) rsadsi(113549) pkcs(1) pkcs-9(9) smime(16) alg(3)TBD330 } 3. ASN.1 Module This section contains the ASN.1 module for the HKDF algorithm identifiers. This module imports types from other ASN.1 modules that are defined in [RFC5912]. HKDF-OID-2019 { iso(1) member-body(2) us(840) rsadsi(113549) pkcs(1) pkcs-9(9) smime(16) modules(0)id-mod-hkdf-oid-2019(TBD0)id-mod-hkdf-oid-2019(68) } DEFINITIONS IMPLICIT TAGS ::= BEGIN -- EXPORTS All IMPORTS AlgorithmIdentifier{}, KEY-DERIVATION FROM AlgorithmInformation-2009 -- [RFC5912] { iso(1) identified-organization(3) dod(6) internet(1) security(5) mechanisms(5) pkix(7) id-mod(0) id-mod-algorithmInformation-02(58) } ; -- -- Object Identifiers -- id-alg-hkdf-with-sha256 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) member-body(2) us(840) rsadsi(113549) pkcs(1) pkcs-9(9) smime(16) alg(3)TBD128 } id-alg-hkdf-with-sha384 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) member-body(2) us(840) rsadsi(113549) pkcs(1) pkcs-9(9) smime(16) alg(3)TBD229 } id-alg-hkdf-with-sha512 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) member-body(2) us(840) rsadsi(113549) pkcs(1) pkcs-9(9) smime(16) alg(3)TBD330 } -- -- Key Derivation Algorithm Identifiers -- KeyDevAlgs KEY-DERIVATION ::= { kda-hkdf-with-sha256 | kda-hkdf-with-sha384 | kda-hkdf-with-sha512, ... } kda-hkdf-with-sha256 KEY-DERIVATION ::= { IDENTIFIER id-alg-hkdf-with-sha256 PARAMS ARE absent SMIME-CAPS { IDENTIFIED BY id-alg-hkdf-with-sha256 } } kda-hkdf-with-sha384 KEY-DERIVATION ::= { IDENTIFIER id-alg-hkdf-with-sha384 PARAMS ARE absent SMIME-CAPS { IDENTIFIED BY id-alg-hkdf-with-sha384 } } kda-hkdf-with-sha512 KEY-DERIVATION ::= { IDENTIFIER id-alg-hkdf-with-sha512 PARAMS ARE absent SMIME-CAPS { IDENTIFIED BY id-alg-hkdf-with-sha512 } } END 4. Security ConsiderationsIn spite ofDespite the simplicity of HKDF, there are many security considerations that have been taken into account in the design and analysis of this construction. An exposition of all of these aspects is well beyond the scope of this document. Please refer to [EPRINT] for detailed information, including rationale for the HKDF design. 5. IANA Considerations One object identifier for the ASN.1 module intheSection 3 was assigned in theSMI"SMI Security for S/MIME Module Identifiers(1.2.840.113549.1.9.16.0) [IANA-MOD] registry:(1.2.840.113549.1.9.16.0)" registry [IANA-MOD]: id-mod-hkdf-oid-2019 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) member-body(2) us(840) rsadsi(113549) pkcs(1) pkcs-9(9) smime(16) mod(0)TBD068 } Three object identifiers for the HKDF algorithm identifiers were assigned in theSMI"SMI Security for S/MIMEMail SecurityAlgorithms(1.2.840.113549.1.9.16.3) [IANA-ALG] registry:(1.2.840.113549.1.9.16.3)" registry [IANA-ALG]: id-alg-hkdf-with-sha256 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) member-body(2) us(840) rsadsi(113549) pkcs(1) pkcs-9(9) smime(16) alg(3)TBD128 } id-alg-hkdf-with-sha384 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) member-body(2) us(840) rsadsi(113549) pkcs(1) pkcs-9(9) smime(16) alg(3)TBD229 } id-alg-hkdf-with-sha512 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) member-body(2) us(840) rsadsi(113549) pkcs(1) pkcs-9(9) smime(16) alg(3)TBD330 } 6.
