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].

3.  Signature Algorithms

   This section provides references to object identifiers and
   conventions to be employed by CMP implementations that support
   signature algorithms like RSA, ECDSA, or EdDSA.

   The signature algorithm is referred to as MSG_SIG_ALG in Appendices D
   and E of [RFC4210], in the Lightweight CMP Profile [RFC9483], and in
   Section 7.2.

   Signature algorithm identifiers are located in the:

   *  protectionAlg field of PKIHeader,
   *  algorithmIdentifier field of POPOSigningKey, and
   *  signatureAlgorithm field of CertificationRequest,
      SignKeyPairTypes, and SignerInfo

   Signature values are located in the:

   *  signature field of POPOSigningKey, and
   *  signature field of CertificationRequest and SignerInfo.

         us(840) ansi-X9-62(10045) curves(3) prime(1) 7 }
      secp384r1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1)

   Specific conventions to be considered are specified in Section 3.3 of
   [RFC5754].

   The signature algorithm ECDSA used with SHAKE message digest
   algorithms is identified by the following OIDs:

      id-ecdsa-with-shake128 OBJECT IDENTIFIER  ::=  { iso(1)
         identified-organization(3) dod(6) internet(1) security(5)

   Specific conventions to be considered are specified in [RFC8419].

   Note: The hash algorithm used to calculate the certHash in certConf
   messages MUST be SHA512 if the certificate to be confirmed has been
   signed using Ed25519 or SHAKE256 with d=512 if the certificate to be
   confirmed has been signed using Ed448.

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.

4.1.  Key Agreement Algorithms

   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).

   Key agreement algorithm identifiers are located in the:

   *  keyEncryptionAlgorithm field of KeyAgreeRecipientInfo.

   Key wrap algorithm identifiers are located in the:

   *  KeyWrapAlgorithm parameters within keyEncryptionAlgorithm field of
      KeyAgreeRecipientInfo.

   Wrapped content-encryption keys are located in the:

   *  encryptedKey field of RecipientEncryptedKeys.

   Specific conventions to be considered are specified in Section 4.1 of
   [RFC3370].

4.1.2.  ECDH

   The Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) key agreement is defined in
   [RFC5753] and SHALL be used in the ephemeral-static variant, as
   specified in [RFC5753], or the 1-Pass Elliptic Curve Menezes-Qu-
   Vanstone (ECMQV) variant, as specified in [RFC5753].  Static-static
   variants SHALL NOT be used.

         identified-organization(3) certicom(132) schemes(1) 15(15) 3 }

   As specified in [RFC5480], the NIST-recommended SECP curves are
   identified by the following OIDs:

      secp192r1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) member-body(2)
         us(840) ansi-X9-62(10045) curves(3) prime(1) 1 }
      secp224r1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1)
         identified-organization(3) certicom(132) curve(0) 33 }
      secp256r1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) member-body(2)
         us(840) ansi-X9-62(10045) curves(3) prime(1) 7 }
      secp384r1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1)

      secp521r1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1)
         identified-organization(3) certicom(132) curve(0) 35 }

   Specific conventions to be considered are specified in [RFC5753].

   The ECDH key agreement algorithm used together with curve25519 or
   curve448 is identified by the following OIDs:

      id-X25519 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1)
         identified-organization(3) thawte(101) 110 }
      id-X448 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1)
         identified-organization(3) thawte(101) 111 }

   Specific conventions to be considered are specified in [RFC8418].

4.2.  Key Transport Algorithms

   The key transport algorithm is also referred to as PROT_ENC_ALG in
   Appendices D and E of [RFC4210] and as KM_KT_ALG in the Lightweight
   CMP Profile [RFC9483] and Section 7.

   Key transport algorithms are only used in CMP when using CMS
   [RFC5652] EnvelopedData together with the key transport key
   management technique.

   Key transport algorithm identifiers are located in the:

   *  keyEncryptionAlgorithm field of KeyTransRecipientInfo.

   Key transport encrypted content-encryption keys are located in the:

   *  encryptedKey field of KeyTransRecipientInfo.

4.2.1.  RSA

   The RSA key transport algorithm is the RSA encryption scheme defined
   in [RFC8017].

   The algorithm identifier for RSA (PKCS #1 v1.5) is:

      rsaEncryption OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) member-body(2)
         us(840) rsadsi(113549) pkcs(1) pkcs-1(1) 1 }

   The algorithm identifier for RSAES-OAEP is:

      id-RSAES-OAEP  OBJECT IDENTIFIER  ::=  { iso(1) member-body(2)
         us(840) rsadsi(113549) pkcs(1) pkcs-1(1) 7 }

   Further conventions to be considered for PKCS #1 v1.5 are specified
   in Section 4.2.1 of [RFC3370] and for RSAES-OAEP in [RFC3560].

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)
         country(16) us(840) organization(1) gov(101) csor(3)
         nistAlgorithm(4) aes(1) 5 }
      id-aes192-wrap OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { joint-iso-itu-t(2)
         country(16) us(840) organization(1) gov(101) csor(3)
         nistAlgorithm(4) aes(1) 25 }
      id-aes256-wrap OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { joint-iso-itu-t(2)
         country(16) us(840) organization(1) gov(101) csor(3)
         nistAlgorithm(4) aes(1) 45 }

   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].

   Further conventions to be considered for AES key wrap are specified
   in Section 2.2 of [RFC3394] and Section 2.3.2 of [RFC3565].

4.4.  Key Derivation Algorithms

   The key derivation algorithm is also referred to as KM_KD_ALG in
   Section 7.2 and the Lightweight CMP Profile [RFC9483].

   Key derivation algorithms are only used in CMP when using CMS
   EnvelopedData [RFC5652] together with the password-based key
   management technique.

   Key derivation algorithm identifiers are located in the:

   *  keyDerivationAlgorithm field of PasswordRecipientInfo.

   When using the password-based key management technique with
   EnvelopedData as specified in CMP Updates [RFC9480] together with
   PKIProtection based on the message authentication code (MAC), the
   salt for the password-based MAC and key derivation function (KDF)
   must be chosen independently to ensure usage of independent symmetric
   keys.

4.4.1.  PBKDF2

   Password-based key derivation function 2 (PBKDF2) is defined in
   [RFC8018].

   PBKDF2 has the algorithm identifier:

      id-PBKDF2 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) member-body(2) us(840)
         rsadsi(113549) pkcs(1) pkcs-5(5) 12 }

   Further conventions to be considered for PBKDF2 are specified in
   Section 4.4.1 of [RFC3370] and Section 5.2 of [RFC8018].

5.  Content-Encryption Algorithms

   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:

   *  contentEncryptionAlgorithm field of EncryptedContentInfo.

   Encrypted content is located in the:

   *  encryptedContent field of EncryptedContentInfo.

5.1.  AES-CBC

   The AES encryption algorithm is defined in FIPS Pub 197
   [NIST.FIPS.197].

   AES Cipher Block Chaining (AES-CBC) content encryption has the
   algorithm identifier:

      id-aes128-CBC OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { joint-iso-itu-t(2)
         country(16) us(840) organization(1) gov(101) csor(3)
         nistAlgorithm(4) aes(1) 2 }
      id-aes192-CBC OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { joint-iso-itu-t(2)
         country(16) us(840) organization(1) gov(101) csor(3)
         nistAlgorithm(4) aes(1)22 }
      id-aes256-CBC OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { joint-iso-itu-t(2)
         country(16) us(840) organization(1) gov(101) csor(3)
         nistAlgorithm(4) aes(1)42 }

   Specific conventions to be considered for AES-CBC content encryption
   are specified in [RFC3565].

6.  Message Authentication Code Algorithms

   The message authentication code (MAC) is either used for shared
   secret-based CMP message protection or together with the password-
   based key derivation function (PBKDF2).

   The MAC algorithm is also referred to as MSG_MAC_ALG in Section 7,
   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
   specified in Section 6.2, using this derived key.

   MAC algorithm identifiers are located in the:

   *  protectionAlg field of PKIHeader.

   Message authentication code values are located in the:

   *  PKIProtection field of PKIMessage.

6.1.1.  PasswordBasedMac

   The PasswordBasedMac algorithm is defined in Section 5.1.3.1 of
   [RFC4210], Section 4.4 of [RFC4211], and "Algorithm Requirements

   Request Message Format (CRMF)" [RFC9045].

   The PasswordBasedMac algorithm is identified by the following OID:

      id-PasswordBasedMac OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) member-body(2)
         us(840) nt(113533) nsn(7) algorithms(66) 13 }

   Further conventions to be considered for PasswordBasedMac are
   specified in Section 5.1.3.1 of [RFC4210], Section 4.4 of [RFC4211],
   and "Algorithm Requirements Update to the Internet X.509 Public Key
   Infrastructure Certificate Request Message Format (CRMF)" [RFC9045].

6.1.2.  PBMAC1

   Password-Based Message Authentication Code 1 (PBMAC1) is defined in
   [RFC8018].  PBMAC1 combines a password-based key derivation function,
   like PBKDF2 (Section 4.4.1), with an underlying symmetric key-based
   message authentication scheme.

   PBMAC1 has the following OID:

      id-PBMAC1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) member-body(2) us(840)
         rsadsi(113549) pkcs(1) pkcs-5(5) 14 }

   Specific conventions to be considered for PBMAC1 are specified in
   Section 7.1 and Appendix A.5 of [RFC8018].

6.2.  Symmetric Key-Based MAC

   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.

7.1.  Algorithm Profile for PKI Management Message Profiles in RFC 4210

   The following table updates the definitions of algorithms used within
   PKI Management Message Profiles, as defined in Appendix D.2 of
   [RFC4210].

   The columns in the table are:

   Name:  An identifier used for message profiles

   Use:  Description of where and for what the algorithm is used

   Mandatory:  Algorithms that MUST be supported by conforming
      implementations

   The following are the mandatory algorithm identifiers and
   specifications:

   RSA:  sha256WithRSAEncryption with 2048 bit, see Section 3.1

   PasswordBasedMac:  id-PasswordBasedMac, see Section 6.1 (with id-
      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.
