  Deterministic ECDSA and EdDSA Signatures with Additional Randomness
               draft-mattsson-cfrg-det-sigs-with-noise-01

Abstract

   Deterministic elliptic-curve signatures such as deterministic ECDSA
   and EdDSA have gained popularity over randomized ECDSA as their
   security do not depend on a source of high-quality randomness.
   Recent research has however found that implementations of these
   signature algorithms may be vulnerable to certain side-channel and
   fault injection attacks due to their determinism.  One countermeasure
   to such attacks is to re-add randomness to the otherwise
   deterministic calculation of the per-message secret number.  This
   document updates RFC 6979 and RFC 8032 to recommend constructions
   with additional randomness for deployments where side-channel attacks
   and fault injection attacks are a concern.

1.  Introduction

   In Elliptic-Curve Cryptography (ECC) signature algorithms, the per-
   message secret number has traditionally been generated from a random
   number generator (RNG).  The security of such algorithms depends on
   the cryptographic quality of the random number generation and biases
   in the randomness may have catastrophic effects such as compromising
   private keys.  Repeated per-message secret numbers have caused
   several severe security accidents in practice.  As stated in
   [RFC6979], the need for a cryptographically secure source of
   randomness is also a hindrance to deployment of randomized ECDSA
   [FIPS-186-4] in architectures where secure random number generation
   is challenging, in particular, embedded IoT systems and smartcards.
   [ABFJLM17] does however state that smartcards typically has a high-
   quality RNG on board, which makes it significantly easier and faster
   to use the RNG instead of doing a hash computation.

   In deterministic ECC signatures schemes such as Deterministic
   Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) [RFC6979] and
   Edwards-curve Digital Signature Algorithm (EdDSA) [RFC8032], the per-
   message secret number is instead generated in a fully-deterministic
   way as a function of the message and the private key.  Except for key
   generation, the security of such deterministic signatures does not
   depend on a source of high-quality randomness.  As they are presumed
   to be safer, deterministic signatures have gained popularity and are
   referenced and recommended by a large number of recent RFCs [RFC8037]
   [RFC8080] [RFC8152] [RFC8225] [RFC8387] [RFC8410] [RFC8411] [RFC8419]

   [RFC8208] [RFC8608].

   Side-channel attacks are potential attack vectors for implementations
   of cryptographic algorithms.  Side-Channel attacks can in general be
   classified along three orthogonal axes: passive vs. active, physical
   vs. logical, and local vs. remote [SideChannel].  It has been
   demonstrated how side-channel attacks such as power analysis
   [BCPST14] and timing attacks [Minerva19] [TPM-Fail19] allow for
   practical recovery of the private key in some existing
   implementations of randomized ECDSA.  [BSI] summarizes minimum
   requirements for evaluating side-channel attacks of elliptic curve
   implementations and writes that deterministic ECDSA and EdDSA
   requires extra care.  The deterministic ECDSA specification [RFC6979]
   notes that the deterministic generation of per-message secret numbers
   may be useful to an attacker in some forms of side-channel attacks
   and as stated in [Minerva19], deterministic signatures like [RFC6979]
   and [RFC8032] might help an attacker to reduce the noise in the side-
   channel when the same message it signed multiple times.  Recent
   research [SH16] [BP16] [RP17] [ABFJLM17] [SBBDS17] [PSSLR17] [SB18]
   [WPB19] [AOTZ19] [FG19] have theoretically and experimentally
   analyzed the resistance of deterministic ECC signature algorithms
   against side-channel and fault injection attacks.  The conclusions
   are that deterministic signature algorithms have theoretical
   weaknesses against certain instances of these types of attacks and
   that the attacks are practically feasibly in some environments.
   These types of attacks may be of particular concern for hardware
   implementations such as embedded IoT devices and smartcards where the
   adversary can be assumed to have access to the device to induce
   faults and measure its side-channels such as timing information with
   low signal-to-noise ratio, power consumption, electromagnetic leaks,
   or sound.  Fault attacks may also be possible without physical access
   to the device.  RowHammer [RowHammer14] showed how an attacker to
   induce DRAM bit-flips in memory areas the attacker should not have
   access to and Plundervolt [Plundervolt19] showed how an attacker with
   root access can use frequency and voltage scaling interfaces to
   induce faults that bypasses even secure execution technologies.
   RowHammer can e.g. be used in operating systems with several
   processes or cloud scenarios with virtualized servers.  Protocols
   like TLS, SSH, and IKEv2 that adds a random number to the message to
   be signed mitigate some types of attacks [PSSLR17].

   Government agencies are clearly concerned about these attacks.  In
   [Notice-186-5] and [Draft-186-5], NIST warns about side-channel and
   fault injection attacks, but states that deterministic ECDSA may be
   desirable for devices that lack good randomness.  BSI has published
   [BSI] and researchers from BSI have co-authored two research papers
   [ABFJLM17] [PSSLR17] on attacks on deterministic signatures.  For

   many industries it is important to be compliant with both RFCs and
   government publications, alignment between IETF, NIST, and BSI
   recommendations would be preferable.

   One countermeasure to side-channel and fault injection attacks
   recommended by [RP17] [ABFJLM17] [SBBDS17] [PSSLR17] [SB18] [AOTZ19]
   [FG19] and implemented in [XEdDSA] [libSodium] [libHydrogen] is to
   re-introduce some additional randomness to the otherwise
   deterministic generation of the per-message secret number.  This
   combines the security benefits of fully-randomized per-message secret
   numbers with the security benefits of fully-deterministic secret
   numbers.  Such a construction protects against key compromise due to
   weak random number generation, but still effectively prevents many
   side-channel and fault injection attacks that exploit determinism.
   Deterministic ECDSA with additional randomness can be made compliant
   with [FIPS-186-4] but would not be compliant with the recommendations
   in many RFCs.  Adding randomness to EdDSA is not compliant with
   [RFC8032].

   This document updates [RFC6979] and [RFC8032] to recommend
   constructions with additional randomness for deployments where side-
   channel and fault injection attacks are a concern.  Produced
   signatures remain fully compatible with unmodified ECDSA and EdDSA
   verifiers and existing key pairs can continue to be used.  As the
   precise use of the noise is specified, test vectors can still be
   produced and implementations can be tested against them.

2.  Updates to RFC 8032 (EdDSA)

   For Ed25519ph, Ed25519ctx, and Ed25519: In deployments where side-
   channel and fault injection attacks are a concern, the following step
   is RECOMMENDED instead of step (2) in Section 5.1.6 of [RFC8032]:

      2.  Compute SHA-512(dom2(F, C) || Z || prefix || PH(M)), where M
          is the message to be signed, Z is 32 octets of random data.
          Interpret the 64-octet digest as a little-endian integer r.

   For Ed448ph and Ed448: In deployments where side-channel and fault
   injection attacks are a concern, the following step is RECOMMENDED
   instead of step (2) in Section 5.3.6 of [RFC8032]:

      2.  Compute SHAKE256(dom4(F, C) || Z || prefix || PH(M), 114),
          where M is the message to be signed, and Z is 57 octets of
          random data, F is 1 for Ed448ph, 0 for Ed448, and C is the
          context to use. Interpret the 114-octet digest as a
          little-endian integer r.

3.  Updates to RFC 6979 (Deterministic ECDSA)

   For Deterministic ECDSA: In existing ECDSA deployments where side-
   channel and fault injection attacks are a concern, the following
   steps is RECOMMENDED instead of steps (d) and (f) in Section 3.2 of
   [RFC6979]:

    d.  Set:

        K = HMAC_K(V || 0x00 || Z || int2octets(x) || bits2octets(h1))

        where '||' denotes concatenation.  In other words, we compute
        HMAC with key K, over the concatenation of the following, in
        order: the current value of V, a sequence of eight bits of value
        0, random data Z (of the same length as int2octets(x)), the
        encoding of the (EC)DSA private key x, and the hashed
        message (possibly truncated and extended as specified by the
        bits2octets transform).  The HMAC result is the new value of K.
        Note that the private key x is in the [1, q-1] range, hence a
        proper input for int2octets, yielding rlen bits of output, i.e.,
        an integral number of octets (rlen is a multiple of 8).

    f.  Set:

        K = HMAC_K(V || 0x01 || Z || int2octets(x) || bits2octets(h1))

   In new deployments, EdDSA with additional randomness as specified in
   Section 2 is RECOMMENDED.

4.  Security Considerations

   The constructions in this document follows the high-level approach in
   [XEdDSA] to calculate the per-message secret number from the hash of
   the private key and the message, but add random additional randomness
   into the calculation for greater resilience.  This does not re-
   introduce the strong security requirement of randomness needed by
   randomized ECDSA [FIPS-186-4].  The randomness of Z does not need to
   be perfect, but SHALL be generated a cryptographically secure pseudo
   random number generator (PRNG) and SHALL be secret.  Even if the same
   random number Z is used to sign two different messages, the security
   will be the same as deterministic ECDSA and EdDSA and an attacker
   will not be able to compromise the private key with algebraic means
   as in fully-randomized ECDSA [FIPS-186-4].  With the construction
   specified in this document, two signatures over two equal messages
   are different which prevents information leakage in use cases where
   signatures but not messages are public.

   [SBBDS17] states that [XEdDSA] would not prevent their attack due to
   insufficient mixing of the hashed private key with the additional
   randomness.  [SBBDS17] suggest a construction where the randomness is
   padded with zeroes so that the first 1024-bit SHA-512 block is
   composed only of the hashed private key and the random value, but not
   the message.  This solution does however increase the number of hash
   function invocations and the amount of padding is dependent on the
   block size.

   Another countermeasure to fault attacks is to force the signer to
   verify the signature in the last step of the signature generation or
   to calculate the signature twice and compare the results.  These
   countermeasure would catch a single fault but would not protect
   against attackers that are able to precisely inject faults several
   times [RP17] [PSSLR17] [SB18].  Adding an additional sign or
   verification operation would also significantly affect performance,
   especially verification which is a heavier operation than signing in
   ECDSA and EdDSA.

   [ABFJLM17] suggests using both additional randomness and a counter,
   which makes the signature generation stateful.  While most used
   signatures have traditionally been stateless, stateful signatures
   like XMSS [RFC8391] and LMS [RFC8554] have now been standardized and
   deployed.  [I-D.irtf-cfrg-randomness-improvements] specifies a PRNG
   construction with a random seed, a secret key, a context string, and
   a nonce, which makes the random number generation stateful.  The
   generation of the per-message secret number in this document is not
   stateful, but it can be used with a stateful PRNG.  The exact
   construction in [I-D.irtf-cfrg-randomness-improvements] is however
   not recommended in deployments where side-channel and fault injection
   attacks are a concern as it relies on deterministic signatures.

   With the construction in this document, the repetition of the same
   per-message secret number for two different messages is highly
   unlikely even with an imperfect random number generator, but not
   impossible.  As an extreme countermeasure, previously used secret
   numbers can be tracked to ensure their uniqueness for a given key,
   and a different random number can be used if a collision is detected.
   This document does not mandate nor stop an implementation from taking
   such a precaution.

   Implementations need to follow best practices on how to protect
   against all side-channel attacks, not just attacks that exploits
   determinism, see for example [BSI].

5.  TODOs and Other Considerations

   o  EdDSA hedge construction - It should be discussed what the best
      construction is for achieving protection against fault and side-
      channel attacks, simplicity and ease of implementation, as well as
      efficiency.  For reference the construction in [XEdDSA] is

      SHA-512(dom2(F, C) || prefix || PH(M) || Z)

      where Z is 64 octets of random data.  The construction suggested
      in [SBBDS17] is

      SHA-512(dom2(F, C) || prefix || 000... || Z || PH(M))

      where the number of zeroes is chosen so that the first 1024-bit
      block is composed only of the hashed private key and the random
      value, but not the message.  E.g. 80 bytes of zeroes and 16 octets
      of random data.  There might be reasons to have different
      constructions for Ed25519 (SHA-512) and Ed448 (SHAKE256).

   o  ECDSA hedge construction - The current construction for ECDSA is
      modelled after the construction for EdDSA.  There might be reasons
      to have different constructions for EdDSA and deterministic ECDSA
      as ECDSA can be used with any hash function (e.g.  SHA-2 or SHAKE)
      and the construction in [RFC6979] uses HMAC.  NIST is planning to
      approve SHAKE for use in ECDSA [Draft-186-5].  Deterministic ECDSA
      would then use HMAC-SHAKE instead of the more optimal KMAC, but it
      is not clear if an update is worth doing, or if people should be
      adviced to move to EdDSA instead.  But, even if EdDSA is superior
      to ECDSA, ECDSA is widely deployed and will be used for a long
      time.  Small changes that are compatible with existing signature
      verification implementations are worth doing.

   o  Amount of randomness - The current construction uses 32 bytes of
      randomness for Ed25519.  XEdDSA uses 64 bytes of randomness which
      might be overkill.  As discussed in [SBBDS17], the amount of
      randomness needed depends on the targeted security level. 32 bytes
      of randomness should be enough for Ed448 and 16 bytes of
      randomness should be enough for Ed25519.  Even less than that is
      likely sufficient to prevent practical attacks.

   o  EdDSA hash algorithm - For protection against side-channel
      attacks, the use of SHA-512 may not be optimal.  [SBBDS17] states
      that protection against side-channel attacks would be easier and
      more robust with a hash function like SHAKE128, but this may not
      matter when randomness is added.  The use of SHA-512 in Ed25519 is
      suitable for software implementations in web servers and may not
      be optimal for embedded IoT devices and smart cards as it likely

      requires them to implement one more cryptographic hash algorithms.
      If CFRG decides to do an update to RFC 8032 addressing IoT devices
      vulnerable to fault injection and side-channel attacks it should
      be considered if other changes should be made as well.  Currently,
      most embedded IoT devices implements SHA-256, but in the future
      they may implement a sponge function like Keccak or Gimli and use
      that to construct XOF, PRF, and AEAD.  Ed25519 with Keccak is
      discussed in [I-D.moskowitz-small-crypto] and Ed25519 with Gimli
      is implemented in [libHydrogen].  NIST is planning to approve
      SHAKE for use in ECDSA [Draft-186-5].  Using a XOF like

      SHAKE128(..., 64)

      instead of SHA-512 in Ed25519 would be straightforward, while
      using SHA-256 would require more invocations of the hash function
      like

      SHA-256(... || 0x00) || SHA-256(... || 0x01)
