Abstract
This document describes how the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature
Algorithm (ECDSA) may be used as the authentication method within the
Internet Key Exchange (IKE) and Internet Key Exchange version 2
(IKEv2) protocols. ECDSA may provide benefits including
computational efficiency, small signature sizes, and minimal
bandwidth compared to other available digital signature methods.
This document adds ECDSA capability to IKE and IKEv2 without
introducing any changes to existing IKE operation.

RFC 4754 IKE and IKEv2 Authentication Using ECDSA January 2007
1. Introduction
The Internet Key Exchange, or IKE [IKE], is a key agreement and
security negotiation protocol; it is used for key establishment in
IPsec. In the initial set of exchanges, both parties must
authenticate each other using a negotiated authentication method. In
the original version of IKE, this occurs in Phase 1; in IKEv2, it
occurs in the exchange called IKE-AUTH. One option for the
authentication method is digital signatures using public key
cryptography. Currently, there are two digital signature methods
defined for use within Phase 1 and IKE-AUTH: RSA signatures and
Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) Digital Signature Standard (DSS)
signatures. This document introduces ECDSA signatures as a third
method.
For any given level of security against the best attacks known, ECDSA
signatures are smaller than RSA signatures, and ECDSA keys require
less bandwidth than DSA keys [LV]; there are also advantages of
computational speed and efficiency in many settings. Additional
efficiency may be gained by simultaneously using ECDSA for IKE/IKEv2
authentication and using elliptic curve groups for the IKE/IKEv2 key
exchange. Implementers of IPsec and IKE/IKEv2 may therefore find it
desirable to use ECDSA as the Phase 1/IKE-AUTH authentication method.
2. Requirements Terminology
The key word "SHALL" in this document is to be interpreted as
described in [RFC2119].
3. ECDSA
The Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) is the
elliptic curve analogue of the DSA (DSS) signature method [DSS]. It
is defined in the ANSI X9.62 standard [X9.62-2003]. Other compatible
specifications include FIPS 186-2 [DSS], IEEE 1363 [IEEE-1363], IEEE
1363A [IEEE-1363A], and SEC1 [SEC].
ECDSA signatures are smaller than RSA signatures of similar
cryptographic strength. ECDSA public keys (and certificates) are
smaller than similar strength DSA keys, resulting in improved
communications efficiency. Furthermore, on many platforms, ECDSA
operations can be computed more quickly than similar strength RSA or
DSA operations (see [LV] for a security analysis of key sizes across
public key algorithms). These advantages of signature size,
bandwidth, and computational efficiency may make ECDSA an attractive
choice for many IKE and IKEv2 implementations.

4. Specifying ECDSA within IKE and IKEv2
The original IKE key negotiation protocol consists of two phases,
Phase 1 and Phase 2. Within Phase 1, the two negotiating parties
authenticate each other using either pre-shared keys, digital
signatures, or public key encryption.
The IKEv2 key negotiation protocol begins with two exchanges,
IKE-SA-INIT and IKE-AUTH. When not using extensible authentication,
the IKE-AUTH exchange includes a digital signature or Message
Authentication Code (MAC) on a block of data.
The IANA-assigned attribute number for authentication using generic
ECDSA in IKE is 8 (see [IANA-IKE]), but the corresponding list of
IKEv2 authentication methods does not include ECDSA (see
[IANA-IKEv2]). Moreover, ECDSA cannot be specified for IKEv2
independently of an associated hash function since IKEv2 does not
have a transform type for hash functions. For this reason, it is
necessary to specify the hash function as part of the signature
algorithm. Furthermore, the elliptic curve group must be specified
since the choice of hash function depends on it as well. As a
result, it is necessary to specify three signature algorithms, named
ECDSA-256, ECDSA-384, and ECDSA-521. Each of these algorithms
represents an instantiation of the ECDSA algorithm using a particular
elliptic curve group and hash function. The three hash functions are
specified in [SHS]. For reasons of consistency, this document
defines the signatures for IKE in the same way.
Digital
Signature
Algorithm Elliptic Curve Group Hash Function
----------- -------------------------- ---------------
ECDSA-256 256-bit random ECP group SHA-256
ECDSA-384 384-bit random ECP group SHA-384
ECDSA-521 521-bit random ECP group SHA-512
The elliptic curve groups, including their base points, are specified
in [IKE-ECP].
5. Security Considerations
Since this document proposes new digital signatures for use within
IKE and IKEv2, many of the security considerations contained within
[IKE] and [IKEv2] apply here as well. Implementers should ensure
that appropriate security measures are in place when they deploy
ECDSA within IKE or IKEv2.
Fu & Solinas Standards Track [Page 3]
RFC 4754 IKE and IKEv2 Authentication Using ECDSA January 2007
ECDSA-256, ECDSA-384, and ECDSA-521 are designed to offer security
comparable with the AES-128, AES-192, and AES-256 respectively.
6. IANA Considerations
IANA updated its registry of IPsec authentication methods in
[IANA-IKE] and its registry of IKEv2 authentication methods in
[IANA-IKEv2] to include ECDSA-256, ECDSA-384, and ECDSA-521.
7. ECDSA Data Formats
When ECDSA-256, ECDSA-384, or ECDSA-521 is used as the digital
signature in IKE or IKEv2, the signature payload SHALL contain an
encoding of the computed signature consisting of the concatenation of
a pair of integers r and s. The definitions of r and s are given in
Section 8 of this document.
Digital
Signature Bit Lengths Bit Length
Algorithm of r and s of Signature
----------- ------------- --------------
ECDSA-256 256 512
ECDSA-384 384 768
ECDSA-521 528 1056
The bit lengths of r and s are enforced, if necessary, by pre-pending
the value with zeros.
8. Test Vectors
The following are examples of the IKEv2 authentication payload for
each of the three signatures specified in this document.
The following notation is used. The Diffie-Hellman group is given by
the elliptic curve y^2 = (x^3 - 3 x + b) modulo p. If (x,y) is a
point on the curve (i.e., x and y satisfy the above equation), then
(x,y)^n denotes the scalar multiple of the point (x,y) by the integer
n; it is another point on the curve. In the literature, the scalar
multiple is typically denoted n(x,y); the notation (x,y)^n is used to
conform to the notation used in [IKE], [IKEv2], and [IKE-ECP].
The group order for the curve group is denoted q. The generator is
denoted g=(gx,gy). The hash of the message is denoted h. The
signer's static private key is denoted w; it is an integer between
zero and q. The signer's static public key is g^w=(gwx,gwy). The
ephemeral private key is denoted k; it is an integer between zero and
q. The ephemeral public key is g^k=(gkx,gky). The quantity kinv is
the integer between zero and q such that k*kinv = 1 modulo q. The
Fu & Solinas Standards Track [Page 4]
RFC 4754 IKE and IKEv2 Authentication Using ECDSA January 2007
first signature component is denoted r; it is equal to gkx reduced
modulo q. The second signature component is denoted s; it is equal
to (h+r*w)*kinv reduced modulo q.
The test vectors below also include the data for verifying the ECDSA
signature. The verifier computes h and the quantity sinv, which is
the integer between zero and q such that s*sinv = 1 modulo q. The
verifier computes
u = h*sinv modulo q
and
v = r*sinv modulo q.
The verifier computes (gx,gy)^u = (gux,guy) and (gwx,gwy)^v =
(gwvx,gwvy). The verifier computes the sum
(sumx,sumy) = (gux,guy) + (gwvx,gwvy)
where + denotes addition of points on the elliptic curve. The
signature is verified if
sumx modulo q = r.

The signature is valid since sumx modulo q equals r.
If the signature (r,s) were the one appearing in the authentication
payload, then the payload would be as follows.
