1.  Introduction

   This document specifies the derivation of the content-encryption key
   for the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) enveloped-data content
   type [RFC5652], the content-encryption key for the CMS encrypted-data
   content type [RFC5652], or the content-authenticated-encryption key
   for the authenticated-enveloped-data content type [RFC5083].

   The use of this mechanism provides protection against where the
   attacker manipulates the content-encryption algorithm identifier or
   the content-authenticated-encryption algorithm identifier.  Johannes
   Roth and Falko Strenzke presented such an attack at IETF 118
   [RS2023], where:

   1.  The attacker intercepts a CMS Authenticated-Enveloped-Data
       content [RFC5083] that uses either AES-CCM or AES-GCM [RFC5084].

   2.  The attacker turns the intercepted content into a "garbage" CMS
       Enveloped-Data content Section 6 of [RFC5652] that is composed of
       AES-CBC guess blocks.

   3.  The attacker sends the "garbage" message to the victim, and the
       victim reveals the result of the decryption to the attacker.

   4.  If any of the transformed plaintext blocks match the guess for
       that block, then the attacker learns the plaintext for that
       block.

   With highly structured messages, one block can reveal the only
   sensitive part of the original message.

   This attack is thwarted if the encryption key depends upon the
   delivery of the unmodified algorithm identifier.

   The mitigation for this attack has three parts:

   *  Potential recipients include the id-alg-cek-hkdf-sha256 algorithm
      identifier (with no parameters) in S/MIME Capabilities to indicate
      support for this mitigation.

   *  As a flag to the recipient that this mitigation is being used,
      carry the id-alg-cek-hkdf-sha256 algorithm identifier as the
      contentEncryptionAlgorithm in the EncryptedContentInfo structure.
      This structure is used in the enveloped-data content type, the
      encrypted-data content type, and the authenticated-enveloped-data
      content type.  The parameters field of the id-alg-cek-hkdf-sha256
      algorithm identifier identifies the content-encryption algorithm
      or the content-authenticated-encryption algorithm and any
      associated parameters.

   *  Perform encryption with a derived content-encryption key or
      content-authenticated-encryption key:

         CEK' = HKDF(CEK, AlgorithmIdentifier)

1.1.  ASN.1

   CMS values are generated using ASN.1 [X680], using the Basic Encoding
   Rules (BER) and the Distinguished Encoding Rules (DER) [X690].

1.2.  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.

2.  Use of of HKDF with SHA-256 to Derive Encryption Keys

   The mitigation uses the HMAC-based Extract-and-Expand Key Derivation
   Function (HKDF) [RFC5869] to derive output keying materiam (OKM) from
   input key material (IKM).  HKDF is used with the SHA-256 hash
   function [FIPS180].  The derivation includes the DER-encoded
   AlgoritmIdentifier as the optional info input value.  This
   AlgoritmIdentifier is carried as the parameter to the id-alg-cek-
   hkdf-sha256 algorithm identifier.  If an attacker were to change the
   originator-provided AlgoritmIdentifier, then the recipient will
   derive a different content-encryption key or content-authenticated-
   encryption key.

   The CMS_CEK_HKDF_SHA256 function uses the HKDF-Extract and HKDF-
   Expand functions to derive the OKM from the IKM:

   Inputs:
      IKM      input keying material
      info     DER-encoded AlgoritmIdentifier

   Output:
      OKM      output keying material (same size as IKM)

   The output OKM is calculated as follows:

      OKM_SIZE = len(IKM)
      IF OKM_SIZE > 8160 THEN raise error

      salt = "The Cryptographic Message Syntax"
      PRK = HKDF-Extract(salt, IKM)

      OKM = HKDF-Expand(PRK, info, OKM_SIZE)

3.  The id-alg-cek-hkdf-sha256 Algorithm Identifier

   The id-alg-cek-hkdf-sha256 algoritm identifier indicates that the
   CMS_CEK_HKDF_SHA256 function defined in Section 2 is used to derive
   the content-encryption key or the content-authenticated-encryption
   key.

Internet-Draft      Encryption Key Derivation in CMS        January 2024


   The following object identifier identifies the id-alg-cek-hkdf-sha256
   algorithm:

      id-alg-cek-hkdf-sha256 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { TBD1 }

   The id-alg-cek-hkdf-sha256 parameters field has an ASN.1 type of
   AlgorithmIdentifier.

   Using the conventions from [RFC5911], the id-alg-cek-hkdf-sha256
   algorithm identifier is defined as:

     ContentEncryptionAlgorithmIdentifier ::=
       AlgorithmIdentifier{CONTENT-ENCRYPTION, { ... } }

     cea-CEKHKDFSHA256 CONTENT-ENCRYPTION ::= {
       IDENTIFIER id-alg-cek-hkdf-sha256
       PARAMS TYPE ContentEncryptionAlgorithmIdentifier ARE required
       SMIME-CAPS { IDENTIFIED BY id-alg-cek-hkdf-sha256 } }

4.  SMIMECapabilities Attribute Conventions

   The SMIMECapabilities Attribute is defined in Section 2.5.2 of
   [RFC8551].  An S/MIME client announces the set of cryptographic
   functions it supports using the SMIMECapabilities attribute.

   If an S/MIME client supports the mechanism in this document, the id-
   alg-cek-hkdf-sha256 object identifier SHOULD be included in the set
   of cryptographic functions.  The parameter with this encoding MUST be
   absent.

   The encoding for id-alg-cek-hkdf-sha256, in hexadecimal, is:

      30 TBD

5.  Use of HKDF with SHA-256 with CMS

   This section describes the originator and recipient processing to
   implement this mitigation for each of the CMS encrypting content
   types.

5.1.  Enveloped-Data Content Type

   The fourth step of constructing an Enveloped-data is repeated below
   from Section 6 of [RFC5652]:

   4.  The content is encrypted with the content-encryption key.
       Content encryption may require that the content be padded to a
       multiple of some block size; see Section 6.3 of [RFC5652].

Internet-Draft      Encryption Key Derivation in CMS        January 2024


   To implement this mitigation, the originator expands this step as
   follows:

   *  Include the id-alg-cek-hkdf-sha256 algorithm identifier in the
      contentEncryptionAlgorithm.algorithm field of the
      EncryptedContentInfo structure, and set the
      contentEncryptionAlgorithm.parameters field to the
      AlgorithmIdentifier for the content-encryption algorithm that will
      be used to encrypt the content, including both the algorithm and
      optional parameters.

   *  Derive the new content-encryption key (CEK') from the original
      content-encryption key (CEK) and the
      ContentEncryptionAlgorithmIdentifier, which is carried in the
      contentEncryptionAlgorithm.parameters field:

   CEK' = CMS_CEK_HKDF_SHA256(CEK, ContentEncryptionAlgorithmIdentifier)

   *  The content is encrypted with the new content-encryption key
      (CEK').  Content encryption may require that the content be padded
      to a multiple of some block size; see Section 6.3 of [RFC5652].

   The presence of the id-alg-cek-hkdf-sha256 algorithm identifier in
   the contentEncryptionAlgorithm.algorithm field of the
   EncryptedContentInfo structure tells the recipient to derive the new
   content-encryption key (CEK') as shown above, and then use it for
   decryption of the EncryptedContent.  If the id-alg-cek-hkdf-sha256
   algorithm identifier is not present in the
   contentEncryptionAlgorithm.algorithm field of the
   EncryptedContentInfo structure, then the recipient uses the original
   content-encryption key (CEK) for decryption of the EncryptedContent.

5.2.  Encrypted-Data Content Type

   As specified in Section 8 of [RFC5652], the content-encryption key is
   managed by other means.

   To implement this mitigation, the originator performs the following:

   *  Include the id-alg-cek-hkdf-sha256 algorithm identifier in the
      contentEncryptionAlgorithm.algorithm field of the
      EncryptedContentInfo structure, and set the
      contentEncryptionAlgorithm.parameters field to the
      AlgorithmIdentifier for the content-encryption algorithm that will
      be used to encrypt the content, including both the algorithm and
      optional parameters.

Internet-Draft      Encryption Key Derivation in CMS        January 2024


   *  Derive the new content-encryption key (CEK') from the original
      content-encryption key (CEK) and the
      ContentEncryptionAlgorithmIdentifier, which is carried in the
      contentEncryptionAlgorithm.parameters field:

   CEK' = CMS_CEK_HKDF_SHA256(CEK, ContentEncryptionAlgorithmIdentifier)

   *  The content is encrypted with the new content-encryption key
      (CEK').  Content encryption may require that the content be padded
      to a multiple of some block size; see Section 6.3 of [RFC5652].

   The presence of the id-alg-cek-hkdf-sha256 algorithm identifier in
   the contentEncryptionAlgorithm.algorithm field of the
   EncryptedContentInfo structure tells the recipient to derive the new
   content-encryption key (CEK') as shown above, and then use it for
   decryption of the EncryptedContent.  If the id-alg-cek-hkdf-sha256
   algorithm identifier is not present in the
   contentEncryptionAlgorithm.algorithm field of the
   EncryptedContentInfo structure, then the recipient uses the original
   content-encryption key (CEK) for decryption of the EncryptedContent.

5.3.  Authenticated-Enveloped-Data Content Type

   The fifth step of constructing an Authenticated-Enveloped-Data is
   repeated below from Section 2 of [RFC5083]:

   5.  The attributes collected in step 4 are authenticated and the CMS
       content is authenticated and encrypted with the content-
       authenticated-encryption key.  If the authenticated encryption
       algorithm requires either the additional authenticated data (AAD)
       or the content to be padded to a multiple of some block size,
       then the padding is added as described in Section 6.3 of
       [RFC5652].

   To implement this mitigation, the originator expands this step as
   follows:

   *  Include the id-alg-cek-hkdf-sha256 algorithm identifier in the
      contentEncryptionAlgorithm.algorithm field of the
      EncryptedContentInfo structure, and set the
      contentEncryptionAlgorithm.parameters field to the
      AlgorithmIdentifier for the content-authenticated-encryption
      algorithm that will be used for authenticated encryption of the
      content, including both the algorithm and optional parameters.

   *  Derive the new content-authenticated-encryption key (CEK') from
      the original content-authenticated-encryption key (CEK) and the
      ContentEncryptionAlgorithmIdentifier:

Internet-Draft      Encryption Key Derivation in CMS        January 2024


   CEK' = CMS_CEK_HKDF_SHA256(CEK, ContentEncryptionAlgorithmIdentifier)

   *  The attributes collected in step 4 are authenticated and the CMS
      content is authenticated and encrypted with the new content-
      authenticated-encryption key (CEK').  If the authenticated
      encryption algorithm requires either the additional authenticated
      data (AAD) or the content to be padded to a multiple of some block
      size, then the padding is added as described in Section 6.3 of
      [RFC5652].

   The presence of the id-alg-cek-hkdf-sha256 algorithm identifier in
   the contentEncryptionAlgorithm.algorithm field of the
   EncryptedContentInfo structure tells the recipient to derive the new
   content-authenticated-encryption key (CEK') as shown above, and then
   use it for authenticated decryption of the EncryptedContent and the
   authentication of the AAD.  If the id-alg-cek-hkdf-sha256 algorithm
   identifier is not present in the contentEncryptionAlgorithm.algorithm
   field of the EncryptedContentInfo structure, then the recipient uses
   the original content-authenticated-encryption (CEK) for decryption
   and authentication of the EncryptedContent and the authentication of
   the AAD.

6.  Security Considerations

   This mitigation always uses HKDF with SHA-256.  One KDF algorithm was
   selected to avoid the need for negotiation.  In the future, if a
   weakness is found in the KDF algorithm, a new attribute will need to
   be assigned for use with an alternative KDF algorithm.

   If the attacker removes the id-alg-cek-hkdf-sha256 object identifier
   from the contentEncryptionAlgorithm.algorithm field of the
   EncryptedContentInfo structure prior to delivery to the recipient,
   then the recipient will not attempt to derive CEK', which will deny
   the recipient access to the content, but will not assist the attacker
   in recovering the plaintext content.

   If the attacker changes contentEncryptionAlgorithm.parameters field
   of the EncryptedContentInfo structure prior to delivery to the
   recipient, then the recipient will derive a different CEK', which
   will not assist the attacker in recovering the plaintext content.
   Providing the object identifier as an inout to the key derivation
   function is sufficient to mitigate the attack described in [RS2023],
   but this mitigation includes both the object identifier and the
   parameters to protect against some yet-to-be-discovered attack that
   only manipulates the parameters.

Internet-Draft      Encryption Key Derivation in CMS        January 2024


   Implementations MUST protect the content-encryption keys and content-
   authenticated-encryption keys, this includes the CEK and CEK'.
   Compromise of a content-encryption key may result in disclosure of
   the associated encrypted content.  Compromise of a content-
   authenticated-encryption key may result in disclosure of the
   associated encrypted content or allow modification of the
   authenticated content and the additional authenticated data (AAD).

   Implementations MUST randomly generate content-encryption keys and
   content-authenticated-encryption keys.  Using an inadequate pseudo-
   random number generator (PRNG) to generate cryptographic keys can
   result in little or no security.  An attacker may find it much easier
   to reproduce the PRNG environment that produced the keys, and then
   searching the resulting small set of possibilities, rather than brute
   force searching the whole key space.  The generation of quality
   random numbers is difficult.  [RFC4086] offers important guidance on
   this topic.

7.  Privacy Considerations

   If the message-digest attribute is included in the AuthAttributes,
   then the attribute value will contain the unencrypted one-way hash
   value of the plaintext of the content.  Disclosure of this hash value
   enables content tracking, and it can be used to determine if the
   content matches one or more candidates.  For these reasons, the
   AuthAttributes SHOULD NOT contain the message-digest attribute.

8.  Operations Considerations

   CMS is often used to provide encryption in messaging environments,
   where various forms of unsolicited messages (such as spam and
   phishing) represent a significant volume of unwanted traffic.
   Mitigation strategies for unwanted message traffic involve analysis
   of message content plaintext.  When recipients accept unsolicited
   encrypted messages, they become even more vulnerable to unwanted
   traffic since many mitigation strategies will be unable to access the
   message content plaintext.  Therefore, software that receives
   messages that have been encrypted using CMS ought to provide
   alternate mechanisms to handle the unwanted message traffic.  One
   approach that does not require disclosure of keying material to a
   server is to reject or discard encrypted messages unless they purport
   to come from a member of a previously approved originator list.

9.  IANA Considerations

   For the ASN.1 Module in the Appendix A of this document, IANA is
   requested to assign an object identifier (OID) for the module
   identifier (TBD0) with a Description of "id-mod-CMS-CEK-HKDF-
   SHA256-2023".  The OID for the module should be allocated in the "SMI
   Security for S/MIME Module Identifier" registry
   (1.2.840.113549.1.9.16.0).

   For the id-alg-cek-hkdf-sha256 algorithm identifier in Section 3 of
   this document, IANA is requested to assign an object identifier (OID)
   (TBD1) with a Description of "id-alg-cek-hkdf-sha256".  The OID for
   the algoritm should be allocated in the "SMI Security for S/MIME
   Algorithms" registry (1.2.840.113549.1.9.16.3).
