RFC 8332 Use of RSA Keys with SHA-256 and SHA-512 March 20181. Overview and Rationale Secure Shell (SSH) is a common protocol for secure communication on the Internet. In [RFC4253], SSH originally defined the public key algorithms "ssh-rsa" for server and client authentication using RSA with SHA-1, and "ssh-dss" using 1024-bit DSA and SHA-1. These algorithms are now considered deficient. For US government use, NIST has disallowed 1024-bit RSA and DSA, and use of SHA-1 for signing [NIST.800-131A]. This memo updates RFCs 4252 and 4253 to define new public key algorithms allowing for interoperable use of existing and new RSA keys with SHA-256 and SHA-512.1.1. Requirements 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 inBCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here.1.2. Wire Encoding Terminology The wire encoding types in this document -- "boolean", "byte", "string", "mpint" -- have meanings as described in [RFC4251].2. Public Key Format vs. Public Key Algorithm In [RFC4252], the concept "public key algorithm" is used to establish a relationship between one algorithm name, and: A. procedures used to generate and validate a private/public keypair; B. a format used to encode a public key; and C. procedures used to calculate, encode, and verify a signature. This document uses the term "public key format" to identify only A and B in isolation. The term "public key algorithm" continues to identify all three aspects -- A, B, and C.Bider Standards Track [Page 3]
RFC 8332 Use of RSA Keys with SHA-256 and SHA-512 March 20183. New RSA Public Key Algorithms This memo adopts the style and conventions of [RFC4253] in specifying how use of a public key algorithm is indicated in SSH. The following new public key algorithms are defined: rsa-sha2-256 RECOMMENDED sign Raw RSA key rsa-sha2-512 OPTIONAL sign Raw RSA key These algorithms are suitable for use both in the SSH transport layer [RFC4253] for server authentication and in the authentication layer [RFC4252] for client authentication. Since RSA keys are not dependent on the choice of hash function, the new public key algorithms reuse the "ssh-rsa" public key format as defined in [RFC4253]: string "ssh-rsa" mpint e mpint n All aspects of the "ssh-rsa" format are kept, including the encoded string "ssh-rsa". This allows existing RSA keys to be used with the new public key algorithms, without requiring re-encoding or affecting already trusted key fingerprints. Signing and verifying using these algorithms is performed according to the RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 scheme in [RFC8017] using SHA-2 [SHS] as hash. For the algorithm "rsa-sha2-256", the hash used is SHA-256. For the algorithm "rsa-sha2-512", the hash used is SHA-512. The resulting signature is encoded as follows: string "rsa-sha2-256" / "rsa-sha2-512" string rsa_signature_blob The value for 'rsa_signature_blob' is encoded as a string that contains an octet string S (which is the output of RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5) and that has the same length (in octets) as the RSA modulus. When S contains leading zeros, there exist signers that will send a shorter encoding of S that omits them. A verifier MAY accept shorter encodings of S with one or more leading zeros omitted.Bider Standards Track [Page 4]
RFC 8332 Use of RSA Keys with SHA-256 and SHA-512 March 20183.1. Use for Server Authentication To express support and preference for one or both of these algorithms for server authentication, the SSH client or server includes one or both algorithm names, "rsa-sha2-256" and/or "rsa-sha2-512", in the name-list field "server_host_key_algorithms" in the SSH_MSG_KEXINIT packet [RFC4253]. If one of the two host key algorithms is negotiated, the server sends an "ssh-rsa" public key as part of the negotiated key exchange method (e.g., in SSH_MSG_KEXDH_REPLY) and encodes a signature with the appropriate signature algorithm name -- either "rsa-sha2-256" or "rsa-sha2-512".3.2. Use for Client Authentication To use this algorithm for client authentication, the SSH client sends an SSH_MSG_USERAUTH_REQUEST message [RFC4252] encoding the "publickey" method and encoding the string field "public key algorithm name" with the value "rsa-sha2-256" or "rsa-sha2-512". The "public key blob" field encodes the RSA public key using the "ssh-rsa" public key format. For example, as defined in [RFC4252] and [RFC4253], an SSH "publickey" authentication request using an "rsa-sha2-512" signature would be properly encoded as follows: byte SSH_MSG_USERAUTH_REQUEST string user name string service name string "publickey" boolean TRUE string "rsa-sha2-512" string public key blob: string "ssh-rsa" mpint e mpint n string signature: string "rsa-sha2-512" string rsa_signature_blob If the client includes the signature field, the client MUST encode the same algorithm name in the signature as in SSH_MSG_USERAUTH_REQUEST -- either "rsa-sha2-256" or "rsa-sha2-512". If a server receives a mismatching request, it MAY apply arbitrary authentication penalties, including but not limited to authentication failure or disconnect.Bider Standards Track [Page 5]
RFC 8332 Use of RSA Keys with SHA-256 and SHA-512 March 2018 OpenSSH 7.2 (but not 7.2p2) incorrectly encodes the algorithm in the signature as "ssh-rsa" when the algorithm in SSH_MSG_USERAUTH_REQUEST is "rsa-sha2-256" or "rsa-sha2-512". In this case, the signature does actually use either SHA-256 or SHA-512. A server MAY, but is not required to, accept this variant or another variant that corresponds to a good-faith implementation and is considered safe to accept.3.3. Discovery of Public Key Algorithms Supported by Servers Implementation experience has shown that there are servers that apply authentication penalties to clients attempting public key algorithms that the SSH server does not support. Servers that accept rsa-sha2-* signatures for client authentication SHOULD implement the extension negotiation mechanism defined in [RFC8308], including especially the "server-sig-algs" extension. When authenticating with an RSA key against a server that does not implement the "server-sig-algs" extension, clients MAY default to an "ssh-rsa" signature to avoid authentication penalties. When the new rsa-sha2-* algorithms have been sufficiently widely adopted to warrant disabling "ssh-rsa", clients MAY default to one of the new algorithms.4. IANA Considerations IANA has updated the "Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol Parameters" registry, established with [RFC4250], to extend the table "Public Key Algorithm Names" [IANA-PKA] as follows. - To the immediate right of the column "Public Key Algorithm Name", a new column has been added, titled "Public Key Format". For existing entries, the column "Public Key Format" has been assigned the same value as under "Public Key Algorithm Name". - Immediately following the existing entry for "ssh-rsa", two sibling entries have been added: P. K. Alg. Name P. K. Format Reference Note rsa-sha2-256 ssh-rsaRFC 8332 Section 3 rsa-sha2-512 ssh-rsaRFC 8332 Section 3Bider Standards Track [Page 6]
RFC 8332 Use of RSA Keys with SHA-256 and SHA-512 March 20185. Security Considerations The security considerations of [RFC4251] apply to this document.5.1. Key Size and Signature Hash The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication 800-131A, Revision 1 [NIST.800-131A] disallows RSA and DSA keys shorter than 2048 bits for US government use. The same document disallows the SHA-1 hash function for digital signature generation, except under NIST's protocol-specific guidance. It is prudent to follow this advice also outside of US government use.5.2. Transition This document is based on the premise that RSA is used in environments where a gradual, compatible transition to improved algorithms will be better received than one that is abrupt and incompatible. It advises that SSH implementations add support for new RSA public key algorithms along with SSH_MSG_EXT_INFO and the "server-sig-algs" extension to allow coexistence of new deployments with older versions that support only "ssh-rsa". Nevertheless, implementations SHOULD start to disable "ssh-rsa" in their default configurations as soon as the implementers believe that new RSA signature algorithms have been widely adopted.5.3. PKCS #1 v1.5 Padding and Signature Verification This document prescribes RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 signature padding because: (1) RSASSA-PSS is not universally available to all implementations; (2) PKCS #1 v1.5 is widely supported in existing SSH implementations; (3) PKCS #1 v1.5 is not known to be insecure for use in this scheme. Implementers are advised that a signature with RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 padding MUST NOT be verified by applying the RSA key to the signature, and then parsing the output to extract the hash. This may give an attacker opportunities to exploit flaws in the parsing and vary the encoding. Verifiers MUST instead apply RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 padding to the expected hash, then compare the encoded bytes with the output of the RSA operation.Bider Standards Track [Page 7]
