Abstract
This document describes new Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) groups
for use in the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) and Internet Key Exchange
version 2 (IKEv2) protocols in addition to previously defined groups.
Specifically, the new curve groups are based on modular arithmetic
rather than binary arithmetic. These new groups are defined to align
IKE and IKEv2 with other ECC implementations and standards,
particularly NIST standards. In addition, the curves defined here
can provide more efficient implementation than previously defined ECC
groups.

RFC 4753 ECP Groups for IKE and IKEv2 January 2007 1. Introduction This document describes default Diffie-Hellman groups for use in IKE and IKEv2 in addition to the Oakley groups included in [IKE] and the additional groups defined since [IANA-IKE]. This document assumes that the reader is familiar with the IKE protocol and the concept of Oakley Groups, as defined in RFC 2409 [IKE]. RFC 2409 [IKE] defines five standard Oakley Groups: three modular exponentiation groups and two elliptic curve groups over GF[2^N]. One modular exponentiation group (768 bits - Oakley Group 1) is mandatory for all implementations to support, while the other four are optional. Thirteen additional groups subsequently have been defined and assigned values by IANA. All of these additional groups are optional. Of the eighteen groups defined so far, eight are MODP groups (exponentiation groups modulo a prime), and ten are EC2N groups (elliptic curve groups over GF[2^N]). See [RFC3526] for more information on MODP groups. The purpose of this document is to expand the options available to implementers of elliptic curve groups by adding three ECP groups (elliptic curve groups modulo a prime). The reasons for adding such groups include the following. - The groups proposed afford efficiency advantages in software applications since the underlying arithmetic is integer arithmetic modulo a prime rather than binary field arithmetic. (Additional computational advantages for these groups are presented in [GMN].) - The groups proposed encourage alignment with other elliptic curve standards. The proposed groups are among those standardized by NIST, the Standards for Efficient Cryptography Group (SECG), ISO, and ANSI. (See Section 5 for details.) - The groups proposed are capable of providing security consistent with the new Advanced Encryption Standard. These groups could also be defined using the New Group Mode, but including them in this RFC will encourage interoperability of IKE implementations based upon elliptic curve groups. In addition, the availability of standardized groups will result in optimizations for a particular curve and field size and allow precomputation that could result in faster implementations. In summary, due to the performance advantages of elliptic curve groups in IKE implementations and the need for further alignment with other standards, this document defines three elliptic curve groups based on modular arithmetic.

RFC 4753 ECP Groups for IKE and IKEv2 January 2007 2. Requirements Terminology The keywords "MUST" and "SHOULD" that appear in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119]. 3. Additional ECC Groups The notation adopted in RFC 2409 [IKE] is used below to describe the new groups proposed. 3.1. 256-bit Random ECP Group IKE and IKEv2 implementations SHOULD support an ECP group with the following characteristics. The curve is based on the integers modulo the generalized Mersenne prime p given by p = 2^(256)-2^(224)+2^(192)+2^(96)-1 The equation for the elliptic curve is: y^2 = x^3 - 3 x + b Field Size: 256 Group Prime/Irreducible Polynomial: FFFFFFFF 00000001 00000000 00000000 00000000 FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF Group Curve b: 5AC635D8 AA3A93E7 B3EBBD55 769886BC 651D06B0 CC53B0F6 3BCE3C3E 27D2604B Group Order: FFFFFFFF 00000000 FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF BCE6FAAD A7179E84 F3B9CAC2 FC632551 The group was chosen verifiably at random using SHA-1 as specified in [IEEE-1363] from the seed: C49D3608 86E70493 6A6678E1 139D26B7 819F7E90 The generator for this group is given by g=(gx,gy) where gx: 6B17D1F2 E12C4247 F8BCE6E5 63A440F2 77037D81 2DEB33A0 F4A13945 D898C296 gy: 4FE342E2 FE1A7F9B 8EE7EB4A 7C0F9E16 2BCE3357 6B315ECE CBB64068 37BF51F5 Fu & Solinas Informational [Page 3]

RFC 4753 ECP Groups for IKE and IKEv2 January 2007 4. Security Considerations Since this document proposes new groups for use within IKE and IKEv2, many of the security considerations contained within [IKE] and [IKEv2] apply here as well. The groups proposed in this document correspond to the symmetric key sizes 128 bits, 192 bits, and 256 bits. This allows the IKE key exchange to offer security comparable with the AES algorithms [AES]. 5. Alignment with Other Standards The following table summarizes the appearance of these three elliptic curve groups in other standards. 256-bit 384-bit 521-bit Random Random Random Standard ECP Group ECP Group ECP Group ----------- ------------ ------------ ------------ NIST [DSS] P-256 P-384 P-521 ISO/IEC [ISO-15946-1] P-256 ISO/IEC [ISO-18031] P-256 P-384 P-521 ANSI [X9.62-1998] Sect. J.5.3, Example 1 ANSI [X9.62-2005] Sect. L.6.4.3 Sect. L.6.5.2 Sect. L.6.6.2 ANSI [X9.63] Sect. J.5.4, Sect. J.5.5 Sect. J.5.6 Example 2 SECG [SEC2] secp256r1 secp384r1 secp521r1 See also [NIST], [ISO-14888-3], [ISO-15946-2], [ISO-15946-3], and [ISO-15946-4]. 6. IANA Considerations IANA has updated its registries of Diffie-Hellman groups for IKE in [IANA-IKE] and for IKEv2 in [IANA-IKEv2] to include the groups defined above. In [IANA-IKE], the groups appear as new entries in the list of Diffie-Hellman groups given by Group Description (attribute class 4). The descriptions are "256-bit random ECP group", "384-bit random ECP Fu & Solinas Informational [Page 6]
RFC 4753 ECP Groups for IKE and IKEv2 January 2007 group", and "521-bit random ECP group". In each case, the group type (attribute class 5) has the value 2 (ECP, elliptic curve group over GF[P]). In [IANA-IKEv2], the groups appear as new entries in the list of IKEv2 transform type values for Transform Type 4 (Diffie-Hellman groups). 7. ECP Key Exchange Data Formats In an ECP key exchange, the Diffie-Hellman public value passed in a KE payload consists of two components, x and y, corresponding to the coordinates of an elliptic curve point. Each component MUST have bit length as given in the following table. Diffie-Hellman group component bit length ------------------------ -------------------- 256-bit Random ECP Group 256 384-bit Random ECP Group 384 521-bit Random ECP Group 528 This length is enforced, if necessary, by prepending the value with zeros. The Diffie-Hellman public value is obtained by concatenating the x and y values. The format of the Diffie-Hellman shared secret value is the same as that of the Diffie-Hellman public value. 8. Test Vectors The following are examples of the IKEv2 key exchange payload for each of the three groups specified in this document. We denote by g^n the scalar multiple of the point g by the integer n; it is another point on the curve. In the literature, the scalar multiple is typically denoted ng; the notation g^n is used in order to conform to the notation used in [IKE] and [IKEv2]. Fu & Solinas Informational [Page 7]
