RFC 1115 Mail Privacy: Algorithms August 1989
1. Executive Summary
This RFC provides definitions, references, and citations for algorithms,
usage modes, and associated identifiers used in RFC-1113 and RFC-1114
in support of privacy-enhanced electronic mail in the Internet
community. As some parts of this material are cited by both RFC-1113
and RFC-1114, and as it is anticipated that some of the definitions
herein may be changed, added, or replaced without affecting the citing
RFCs, algorithm-specific material has been placed into this separate
RFC. The text is organized into three primary sections; dealing with
symmetric encryption algorithms, asymmetric encryption algorithms, and
integrity check algorithms.
2. Symmetric Encryption Algorithms and Modes
This section identifies alternative symmetric encryption algorithms
and modes which may be used to encrypt DEKs, MICs, and message text,
and assigns them character string identifiers to be incorporated in
encapsulated header fields to indicate the choice of algorithm
employed. (Note: all alternatives presently defined in this category
correspond to different usage modes of the DEA-1 (DES) algorithm,
rather than to other algorithms per se.)
2.1. DES Modes
The Block Cipher Algorithm DEA-1, defined in ANSI X3.92-1981 [3] may
be used for message text, DEKs, and MICs. The DEA-1 is equivalent to
the Data Encryption Standard (DES), as defined in FIPS PUB 46 [4].
The ECB and CBC modes of operation of DEA-1 are defined in ISO IS 8372
[5].
2.1.1. DES in ECB mode (DES-ECB)
The string "DES-ECB" indicates use of the DES algorithm in Electronic
Codebook (ECB) mode. This algorithm/mode combination is used for DEK
and MIC encryption.
2.1.2. DES in EDE mode (DES-EDE)
The string "DES-EDE" indicates use of the DES algorithm in
Encrypt-Decrypt-Encrypt (EDE) mode as defined by ANSI X9.17 [2] for
key encryption and decryption with pairs of 64-bit keys. This
algorithm/mode combination is used for DEK and MIC encryption.
Linn [Page 2]
RFC 1115 Mail Privacy: Algorithms August 1989
2.1.3. DES in CBC mode (DES-CBC)
The string "DES-CBC" indicates use of the DES algorithm in Cipher
Block Chaining (CBC) mode. This algorithm/mode combination is used
for message text encryption only. The CBC mode definition in IS 8372
is equivalent to that provided in FIPS PUB 81 [6] and in ANSI X3.106-
1983 [7].
3. Asymmetric Encryption Algorithms and Modes
This section identifies alternative asymmetric encryption algorithms and
modes which may be used to encrypt DEKs and MICs, and assigns them
character string identifiers to be incorporated in encapsulated
header fields to indicate the choice of algorithm employed. (Note:
only one alternative is presently defined in this category.)
3.1. RSA
The string "RSA" indicates use of the RSA public-key encryption
algorithm, as described in [8]. This algorithm is used for DEK and
MIC encryption, in the following fashion: the product n of a
individual's selected primes p and q is used as the modulus for the
RSA encryption algorithm, comprising, for our purposes, the
individual's public key. A recipient's public key is used in
conjunction with an associated public exponent (either 3 or 1+2**16)
as identified in the recipient's certificate.
When a MIC must be padded for RSA encryption, the MIC will be
right-justified and padded on the left with zeroes. This is also
appropriate for padding of DEKs on singly-addressed messages, and for
padding of DEKs on multi-addressed messages if and only if an exponent
of 3 is used for no more than one recipient. On multi-addressed
messages in which an exponent of 3 is used for more than one recipient,
it is recommended that a separate 64-bit pseudorandom quantity be
generated for each recipient, in the same manner in which IVs are
generated. (Reference [9] discusses the rationale for this
recommendation.) At least one copy of the pseudorandom quantity should
be included in the input to RSA encryption, placed to the left of the
DEK.
4. Integrity Check Algorithms
This section identifies the alternative algorithms which may be used
to compute Message Integrity Check (MIC) and Certificate Integrity
Check (CIC) values, and assigns the algorithms character string
identifiers for use in encapsulated header fields and within
certificates to indicate the choice of algorithm employed.
Linn [Page 3]
RFC 1115 Mail Privacy: Algorithms August 1989
MIC algorithms which utilize DEA-1 cryptography are computed using a key
which is a variant of the DEK used for message text encryption. The
variant is formed by modulo-2 addition of the hexadecimal quantity
F0F0F0F0F0F0F0F0 to the encryption DEK.
For compatibility with this specification, a privacy-enhanced mail
implementation must be able to process both MAC (Section 2.1) and
RSA-MD2 (Section 2.2) MICs on incoming messages. It is a sender option
whether MAC or RSA-MD2 is employed on an outbound message addressed to
only one recipient. However, use of MAC is strongly discouraged for
messages sent to more than a single recipient. The reason for this
recommendation is that the use of MAC on multi-addressed mail fails to
prevent other intended recipients from tampering with a message in a
manner which preserves the message's appearance as an authentic message
from the sender. In other words, use of MAC on multi-addressed mail
provides source authentication at the granularity of membership in the
message's authorized address list (plus the sender) rather than at a
finer (and more desirable) granularity authenticating the individual
sender.
4.1. Message Authentication Code (MAC)
A message authentication code (MAC), denoted by the string "MAC", is
computed using the DEA-1 algorithm in the fashion defined in FIPS PUB
113 [1]. This algorithm is used only as a MIC algorithm, not as a CIC
algorithm.
As noted above, use of the MAC is not recommended for multicast
messages, as it does not preserve authentication and integrity among
individual recipients, i.e., it is not cryptographically strong enough
for this purpose. The message's canonically encoded text is padded at
the end, per FIPS PUB 113, with zero-valued octets as needed in order to
form an integral number of 8-octet encryption quanta. These padding
octets are inserted implicitly and are not transmitted with a message.
The result of a MAC computation is a single 64-bit value.
4.2. RSA-MD2 Message Digest Algorithm
4.2.1. Discussion
The RSA-MD2 Message Digest Algorithm, denoted by the string "RSA-MD2",
is computed using an algorithm defined in this section. It has been
provided by Ron Rivest of RSA Data Security, Incorporated for use in
support of privacy-enhanced electronic mail, free of licensing
restrictions. This algorithm should be used as a MIC algorithm
whenever a message is addressed to multiple recipients. It is also
the only algorithm currently defined for use as CIC. While its
continued use as the standard CIC algorithm is anticipated, RSA-MD2
Linn [Page 4]
RFC 1115 Mail Privacy: Algorithms August 1989
may be supplanted by later recommendations for MIC algorithm
selections.
The RSA-MD2 message digest algorithm accepts as input a message of any
length and produces as output a 16-byte quantity. The attached
reference implementation serves to define the algorithm; implementors
may choose to develop optimizations suited to their operating
environments.
