The RSA Key Encapsulation Mechanism (RSA-KEM) algorithm is a one-pass(store-and-forward) cryptographic mechanism for an originator to securelysend keying material to a recipient using the recipient's RSA public key.The RSA-KEM algorithm is specified in Clause 11.5 of[ISO18033-2].¶
The RSA-KEM algorithm takes a different approach than other RSA keytransport mechanisms[RFC8017] with the goal of providing highersecurity assurance while also satisfying the KEM interface. TheRSA-KEM algorithm encrypts a random integer with the recipient'sRSA public key and derives a shared secret from the random integer. Theoriginator and recipient can derive a symmetric key from the sharedsecret. For example, a key-encryption key (KEK) can be derived from the sharedsecret to wrap a content-encryption key (CEK).¶
In the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS)[RFC5652] usingKEMRecipientInfo[RFC9629], the shared-secret valueis input to a key derivation function (KDF) to compute a key-encryption key andwrap a symmetric content-encryption key with the key-encryption key. Inthis way, the originator and the recipient end up with the samecontent-encryption key.¶
For completeness, a specification of the RSA-KEM algorithm is given inAppendix A of this document. ASN.1 syntax is given inAppendix B.¶
The RSA-KEM algorithm provides higher security assurance than other variants of the RSA cryptosystem for two reasons. First, the input to the underlying RSA operation is a string-encoded random integer between 0 and n-1, where n is the RSA modulus, so it does not have any structure that could be exploited by an adversary. Second, the input is independent of the keying material, so the result of the RSA decryption operation is not directly available to an adversary. As a result, the RSA-KEM algorithm enjoys a "tight" security proof in the random oracle model. (In other padding schemes, such as PKCS #1 v1.5[RFC8017], the input has structure and depends on the keying material. Additionally, the provable security assurances are not as strong.)¶
The approach is also architecturally convenient because thepublic-key operations are separate from the symmetric operations on thekeying material. Another benefit is that the length of the keying materialis determined by the symmetric algorithms, not the size of the RSA modulus.¶
All KEM algorithms provide three functions: KeyGen(), Encapsulate(),and Decapsulate().¶
The following summarizes these three functions for the RSA-KEM algorithm:¶
Generate the public key (pk) and a private key (sk) as described inSection 3 of [RFC8017].¶
Given the recipient's public key (pk), produce a ciphertext (ct) to be passed to the recipient and a shared secret (SS) for use by the originator as follows:¶
Encrypt the integer z with the recipient's RSA public key to obtain the ciphertext:¶
ct = z^e mod n¶
Derive a shared secret from the integer z using a Key Derivation Function (KDF):¶
SS = KDF(Z, ssLen)¶
The ciphertext and the shared secret are returned by the function. The originator sends the ciphertext to the recipient.¶
Given the private key (sk) and the ciphertext (ct), produce the shared secret (SS) for the recipient as follows:¶
To support the RSA-KEM algorithm, the CMS originatorMUST implement Encapsulate().¶
Given a content-encryption key CEK, the RSA-KEM algorithm processing by the originator to produce the values that are carried in the CMS KEMRecipientInfo can be summarized as follows:¶
Obtain the shared secret using the Encapsulate() function of the RSA-KEM algorithm and the recipient's RSA public key:¶
(ct, SS) = Encapsulate(pk)¶
Derive a key-encryption key KEK from the shared secret:¶
KEK = KDF(SS, kekLength, otherInfo)¶
Wrap the CEK with the KEK to obtain wrapped keying material WK:¶
WK = WRAP(KEK, CEK)¶
The originator sends the ciphertext and WK to the recipient in the CMS KEMRecipientInfo structure.¶
To support the RSA-KEM algorithm, the CMS recipientMUST implement Decapsulate().¶
The RSA-KEM algorithm recipient processing of the values obtained from the KEMRecipientInfo structure is summarized as follows:¶
Obtain the shared secret using the Decapsulate() function of the RSA-KEM algorithm and the recipient's RSA private key:¶
SS = Decapsulate(sk, ct)¶
Derive a key-encryption key KEK from the shared secret:¶
KEK = KDF(SS, kekLength, otherInfo)¶
Unwrap the WK with the KEK to obtain the content-encryption key CEK:¶
CEK = UNWRAP(KEK, WK)¶
Note that the KDF used to process the KEMRecipientInfo structureMAY bedifferent from the KDF used to derive the shared secret in the RSA-KEMalgorithm.¶
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.¶
CMS values are generated using ASN.1[X.680], which uses the BasicEncoding Rules (BER) and the Distinguished Encoding Rules (DER)[X.690].¶
RFC 5990[RFC5990] specified the conventions for using the RSA-KEM algorithmin CMS as a key transport algorithm. That is, it used KeyTransRecipientInfo[RFC5652]for each recipient. Since the publication of RFC 5990, a new KEMRecipientInfostructure[RFC9629] has been defined to support KEMalgorithms. When the id-rsa-kem algorithm identifier appears in theSubjectPublicKeyInfo field of a certificate, the complex parameter structuredefined in RFC 5990 can be omitted; however, the parameters are allowed forbackward compatibility. Also, to avoid visual confusion with id‑kem‑rsa, id‑rsa‑kem‑spki is introduced as an alias for id-rsa-kem.¶
RFC 5990 used EK as the EncryptedKey, which is the concatenation ofthe ciphertext C and the wrapped key WK, EK = (C || WK). The use of EK wasnecessary to align with the KeyTransRecipientInfo structure. In thisdocument, the ciphertext and the wrapped key are sent in separate fields ofthe KEMRecipientInfo structure. In particular, the ciphertext is carried inthe kemct field, and the wrapped key is carried in the encryptedKeyfield. SeeAppendix A for details about the computation of the ciphertext.¶
RFC 5990 included support for Camellia and Triple-DES block ciphers;discussion of these block ciphers does not appear in this document, butthe algorithm identifiers remain in the ASN.1 module (seeAppendix B.2).¶
RFC 5990 included support for SHA-1 hash function; discussion of thishash function does not appear this document, but the algorithm identifierremains in the ASN.1 module (seeAppendix B.2).¶
RFC 5990 required support for the KDF3 key derivation function[ANS-X9.44]; this document continues to require support for the KDF3 key derivation function, but it requires support for SHA-256[SHS] as the hash function.¶
RFC 5990 recommended support for alternatives to KDF3 and AES-Wrap-128;this document simply states that other key derivation functions and otherkey-encryption algorithmsMAY be supported.¶
RFC 5990 supported the future definition of additional KEM algorithms thatuse RSA; this document supports only one, and it is identified by theid-kem-rsa object identifier.¶
RFC 5990 included an ASN.1 module; this document provides an alternativeASN.1 module that follows the conventions established in[RFC5911],[RFC5912], and[RFC6268]. The new ASN.1 module (Appendix B.2)produces the same bits-on-the-wire as the one in RFC 5990.¶
The RSA-KEM algorithmMAY be employed for one or more recipients in theCMS enveloped-data content type[RFC5652], the CMS authenticated-datacontent type[RFC5652], or the CMS authenticated-enveloped-datacontent type[RFC5083]. In each case, the KEMRecipientInfo[RFC9629] is used with the RSA-KEM algorithmto securely transfer the content-encryption key from the originator tothe recipient.¶
A CMS implementation that supports the RSA-KEM algorithmMUST support atleast the following underlying components:¶
For the key derivation function, an implementationMUST supportKDF3[ANS-X9.44] with SHA-256[SHS].¶
For key-wrapping, an implementationMUST support theAES-Wrap-128[RFC3394] key-encryption algorithm.¶
An implementationMAY also support other key derivation functions andother key-encryption algorithms.¶
When the RSA-KEM algorithm is employed for a recipient, theRecipientInfo alternative for that recipientMUST beOtherRecipientInfo using the KEMRecipientInfo structure[RFC9629]. The fields of theKEMRecipientInfoMUST have the following values:¶
NOTE: For backward compatibility, implementationsMAY also supportthe RSA-KEM Key Transport algorithm, identified by id-rsa-kem-spki, which usesKeyTransRecipientInfo as specified in[RFC5990].¶
The conventions specified in this section augment RFC 5280[RFC5280].¶
A recipient who employs the RSA-KEM algorithmMAY identify the public key in a certificate by the same AlgorithmIdentifier as for PKCS #1 v1.5, that is, using the rsaEncryption object identifier[RFC8017]. The fact that the recipient will accept the RSA-KEM algorithm with this public key is not indicated by the use of this object identifier. The willingness to accept the RSA-KEM algorithmMAY be signaled by the use of the SMIMECapabilities Attribute as specified inSection 2.5.2 of [RFC8551] or the SMIMECapabilities certificate extension as specified in[RFC4262].¶
If the recipient wishes only to employ the RSA-KEM algorithm with a given public key, the recipientMUST identify the public key in the certificate using the id-rsa-kem-spki object identifier; seeAppendix B. The use of the id-rsa-kem-spki object identifier allows certificates that were issued to be compatible with the RSA-KEM Key Transport algorithm to also be used with this specification. When the id-rsa-kem-spki object identifier appears in the SubjectPublicKeyInfo algorithm field of the certificate, the parameters field from AlgorithmIdentifierSHOULD be absent. That is, the AlgorithmIdentifierSHOULD be a SEQUENCE of one component, the id-rsa-kem-spki object identifier. With absent parameters, the KDF3 key derivation function[ANS-X9.44] with SHA-256[SHS] are used to derive the shared secret.¶
When the AlgorithmIdentifier parameters are present, theGenericHybridParametersMUST be used. Within the kem element, the algorithmidentifierMUST be set to id-kem-rsa, and RsaKemParametersMUST be included.As described inSection 2.4, the GenericHybridParameters constrain the valuesthat can be used with the RSA public key for the kdf, kekLength, and wrapfields of the KEMRecipientInfo structure.¶
Regardless of the AlgorithmIdentifier used, the RSA public keyMUST becarried in the subjectPublicKey BIT STRING within the SubjectPublicKeyInfofield of the certificate using the RSAPublicKey type defined in[RFC8017].¶
The intended application for the public keyMAY be indicated in the key usagecertificate extension as specified inSection 4.2.1.3 of [RFC5280]. If thekeyUsage extension is present in a certificate that conveys an RSA public keywith the id-rsa-kem-spki object identifier as discussed above, then the keyusage extensionMUST contain only the following value:¶
keyEncipherment¶
Other keyUsage extension valuesMUST NOT bepresent. That is, a public key intended to be employed only with theRSA-KEM algorithmMUST NOT also be employed for data encryption orfor digital signatures. Good cryptographic practice employs a given RSAkey pair in only one scheme. This practice avoids the risk that vulnerabilityin one scheme may compromise the security of the other and may be essentialto maintain provable security.¶
Section 2.5.2 of [RFC8551] defines the SMIMECapabilities attribute toannounce a partial list of algorithms that an S/MIME implementation cansupport. When constructing a CMS signed-data content type[RFC5652],a compliant implementationMAY include the SMIMECapabilities attributethat announces support for the RSA-KEM algorithm.¶
The SMIMECapability SEQUENCE representing the RSA-KEM algorithmMUSTinclude the id-rsa-kem-spki object identifier in the capabilityID field;seeAppendix B for the object identifier value andAppendix Cfor examples. When the id-rsa-kem-spki object identifier appears in thecapabilityID field and the parameters are present, then the parametersfieldMUST use the GenericHybridParameters type.¶
GenericHybridParameters ::= SEQUENCE { kem KeyEncapsulationMechanism, dem DataEncapsulationMechanism }¶
The fields of the GenericHybridParameters type have the following meanings:¶
kem is an AlgorithmIdentifer. The algorithm fieldMUST be set to id-kem-rsa,and the parameters fieldMUST be RsaKemParameters, which is a SEQUENCE of anAlgorithmIdentifier that identifies the supported key derivation functionand a positive INTEGER that identifies the length of the key-encryptionkey in octets.¶
dem is an AlgorithmIdentifier. The algorithm fieldMUST be present, and itidentifies the key-encryption algorithm. The parameters are optional. If theGenericHybridParameters are present, then the provided dem valueMUST beused in the wrap field of KEMRecipientInfo.¶
If the GenericHybridParameters are present, then the provided kem valueMUSTbe used as the key derivation function in the kdf field of KEMRecipientInfoand the provided key lengthMUST be used in the kekLength of KEMRecipientInfo.¶
The RSA-KEM algorithm should be considered as a replacement for the key transport portion of thewidely implemented PKCS #1 v1.5[RFC8017] for new applicationsthat use CMS to avoid potential vulnerabilities to chosen-ciphertextattacks and gain a tighter security proof. However, the RSA-KEM algorithmhas the disadvantage of slightly longer encrypted keying material. WithPKCS #1 v1.5, the originator encrypts the key-encryption key directly withthe recipient's RSA public key. With the RSA-KEM algorithm, the key-encryption keyis encrypted separately.¶
The security of the RSA-KEM algorithm can be shown to be tightly relatedto the difficulty of either solving the RSA problem or breaking the underlyingsymmetric key-encryption algorithm if the underlying key derivation functionis modeled as a random oracle, assuming that the symmetric key-encryptionalgorithm satisfies the properties of a data encapsulation mechanism[SHOUP]. While in practice a random-oracle result does not providean actual security proof for any particular key derivation function, theresult does provide assurance that the general construction is reasonable; akey derivation function would need to be particularly weak to lead to anattack that is not possible in the random-oracle model.¶
The RSA key size and the underlying components need to be selectedconsistent with the desired security level. Several security levelshave been identified in the NIST SP 800-57 Part 1[NISTSP800-57pt1r5]. For example, one wayto achieve 128-bit security, the RSA key size would be at least 3072 bits,the key derivation function would be SHA-256, and the symmetrickey-encryption algorithm would be AES Key Wrap with a 128-bit key.¶
ImplementationsMUST protect the RSA private key, the key-encryption key,the content-encryption key, message-authentication key, and thecontent-authenticated-encryption key. Disclosure of the RSA private keycould result in the compromise of all messages protected with that key.Disclosure of the key-encryption key, the content-encryption key, or thecontent-authenticated-encryption key could result in compromise of theassociated encrypted content. Disclosure of the key-encryption key, themessage-authentication key, or the content-authenticated-encryption keycould allow modification of the associated authenticated content.¶
Additional considerations related to key management may be found in[NISTSP800-57pt1r5].¶
The security of the RSA-KEM algorithm depends on a quality random numbergenerator. For further discussion on random number generation,see[RFC4086].¶
The RSA-KEM algorithm does not use an explicit padding scheme. Instead,an encoded random value (z) between zero and the RSA modulus minus one (n-1)is directly encrypted with the recipient's RSA public key. TheIntegerToString(z, nLen) encoding produces a string that is the full length ofthe RSA modulus. In addition, the random value is passed through a KDF to reduce possible harm from a poorly implemented random numbersource or a maliciously chosen random value (z). ImplementationsMUST NOTuse z directly for any purpose.¶
As long as a fresh random integer z is chosen as part of each invocationof the Encapsulate() function, the RSA-KEM algorithm does not degrade as the number ofciphertexts increases. Since RSA encryption provides a bijective map,a collision in the KDF is the only way that the RSA-KEM algorithm can produce more thanone ciphertext that encapsulates the same shared secret.¶
The RSA-KEM algorithm provides a fixed-length ciphertext. The recipientMUSTcheck that the received byte string is the expected length and the lengthcorresponds to an integer in the expected range prior to attempting decryptionwith their RSA private key as described in Steps 1 and 2 ofAppendix A.2.¶
ImplementationsSHOULD NOT reveal information about intermediatevalues or calculations, whether by timing or other "side channels";otherwise, an opponent may be able to determine information aboutthe keying data and/or the recipient's private key. Although not allintermediate information may be useful to an opponent, it ispreferable to conceal as much information as is practical, unlessanalysis specifically indicates that the information would not beuseful to an opponent.¶
Generally, good cryptographic practice employs a given RSA key pairin only one scheme. This practice avoids the risk that vulnerabilityin one scheme may compromise the security of the other, and may beessential to maintain provable security. RSA public keys have oftenbeen employed for multiple purposes such as key transport and digitalsignature without any known bad interactions; however, such combined useof an RSA key pair isNOT RECOMMENDED in the future (unless the differentschemes are specifically designed to be used together).¶
Accordingly, an RSA key pair used for the RSA-KEM algorithmSHOULD NOTalso be used for digital signatures. Indeed, the Accredited StandardsCommittee X9 (ASC X9) requires such a separation between key pairs usedfor key establishment and key pairs used for digital signature[ANS-X9.44]. Continuing this principle of key separation, a key pairused for the RSA-KEM algorithmSHOULD NOT be used with other keyestablishment schemes, or for data encryption, or with morethan one set of underlying algorithm components.¶
It is acceptable to use the same RSA key pair for the RSA-KEM Key Transport algorithm as specified in[RFC5990] and this specification. This is acceptable because the operations involving the RSA public key and the RSA private key are identical in the two specifications.¶
Parties can gain assurance that implementations are correct throughformal implementation validation, such as the NIST CryptographicModule Validation Program (CMVP)[CMVP].¶
For the ASN.1 Module inAppendix B.2, IANA has assigned anobject identifier (OID) for the module identifier. The OID for the modulehas been allocated in the "SMI Security for S/MIME Module Identifier"registry (1.2.840.113549.1.9.16.0), and the Description for the new OIDhas been set to "id-mod-cms-rsa-kem-2023".¶
IANA has updated the id-alg-rsa-kem entry in the "SMI Security for S/MIME Algorithms (1.2.840.113549.1.9.16.3)" repository to refer to this document. In addition, IANA has added the following note to the registry:¶
Value 14, "id-alg-rsa-kem," is also referred to as "id-rsa-kem-spki."¶
The RSA-KEM algorithm is a one-pass (store-and-forward) cryptographicmechanism for an originator to securely send keying material to a recipientusing the recipient's RSA public key.¶
With the RSA-KEM algorithm, an originator encrypts a random integer (z) withthe recipient's RSA public key to produce a ciphertext (ct), and the originatorderives a shared secret (SS) from the random integer (z). The originator thensends the ciphertext (ct) to the recipient. The recipient decrypts theciphertext (ct) using their private key to recover the random integer (z),and the recipient derives a shared secret (SS) from the random integer (z). Inthis way, the originator and recipient obtain the same shared secret (SS).¶
The RSA-KEM algorithm depends on a key derivation function (KDF), which isused to derive the shared secret (SS). Many key derivation functions supportthe inclusion of other information in addition to the shared secret (SS) inthe input to the function; however, no other information is included as aninput to the KDF by the RSA-KEM algorithm.¶
Let (n,e) be the recipient's RSA public key; see[RFC8017] for details.¶
Let nLen denote the length in bytes of the modulus n, i.e., the leastinteger such that 2(8*nLen) > n.¶
The originator performs the following operations:¶
Generate a random integer z between 0 and n-1 (see NOTE below), and convert z to a byte string Z of length nLen, most significant byte first:¶
z = RandomInteger (0, n-1) Z = IntegerToString (z, nLen)¶
Encrypt the random integer z using the recipient's RSA public key (n,e) and convert the resulting integer c to a ciphertext C, a byte string of length nLen:¶
c = z^e mod n ct = IntegerToString (c, nLen)¶
Derive a symmetric shared secret SS of length ssLen bytes (whichMUST be the length of the key-encryption key) from thebyte string Z using the underlying key derivation function:¶
SS = KDF (Z, ssLen)¶
Output the shared secret SS and the ciphertext ct. Send theciphertext ct to the recipient.¶
NOTE: The random integer zMUST be generated independently at randomfor different encryption operations, whether for the same or differentrecipients.¶
Let (n,d) be the recipient's RSA private key; see[RFC8017] for details,but other private key formats are allowed.¶
Let ct be the ciphertext received from the originator.¶
Let nLen denote the length in bytes of the modulus n.¶
The recipient performs the following operations:¶
If the length of the encrypted keying material is less than nLenbytes, output "decryption error", and stop.¶
Convert the ciphertext ct to an integer c, most significant bytefirst (see NOTE below):¶
c = StringToInteger (ct)¶
If the integer c is not between 0 and n-1, output "decryption error", and stop.¶
Decrypt the integer c using the recipient's private key (n,d) to recover an integer z (see NOTE below):¶
z = c^d mod n¶
Convert the integer z to a byte string Z of length nLen, mostsignificant byte first (see NOTE below):¶
Z = IntegerToString (z, nLen)¶
Derive a shared secret SS of length ssLen bytes from the bytestring Z using the key derivation function (see NOTE below):¶
SS = KDF (Z, ssLen)¶
Output the shared secret SS.¶
NOTE: ImplementationsSHOULD NOT reveal information about theinteger z, the string Z, or about the calculation of theexponentiation in Step 2, the conversion in Step 3, or the keyderivation in Step 4, whether by timing or other "side channels".The observable behavior of the implementationSHOULD be the same atthese steps for all ciphertexts C that are in range. For example,IntegerToString conversion should take the same amount of timeregardless of the actual value of the integer z. The integer z, thestring Z, and other intermediate resultsMUST be securely deletedwhen they are no longer needed.¶
The ASN.1 syntax for identifying the RSA-KEM algorithmis an extension of the syntax for the "generic hybrid cipher" inANS X9.44[ANS-X9.44].¶
The ASN.1 Module is unchanged from RFC 5990. The id-rsa-kem-spkiobject identifier is used in a backward compatible mannerin certificates[RFC5280] and SMIMECapabilities[RFC8551].Of course, the use of the id-kem-rsa object identifier in thenew KEMRecipientInfo structure[RFC9629]was not yet defined at the time that RFC 5990 was written.¶
Implementations that conform to this specificationMUST supportthe KDF3[ANS-X9.44] key derivation function using SHA-256[SHS].¶
KDF2[ANS-X9.44] and KDF3 are both key derivation functions based ona hash function. The only difference between KDF2 and KDF3 is the orderof the components to be hashed.¶
KDF2 calculates T as: T = T || Hash (Z || D || otherInfo) KDF3 calculates T as: T = T || Hash (D || Z || otherInfo)¶
The object identifier for KDF3 is:¶
id-kdf-kdf3 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { x9-44-components kdf3(2) }¶
The KDF3 parameters identify the underlying hash function. Foralignment with ANS X9.44, the hash functionMUST be an ASC X9-approvedhash function. While the SHA-1 hash algorithm is included in theASN.1 definitions, SHA-1MUST NOT be used. SHA-1 is consideredto be obsolete; see[RFC6194]. SHA-1 remains in the ASN.1 module forcompatibility with RFC 5990. In addition, other hash functionsMAY beused with CMS.¶

Implementations that conform to this specificationMUST supportthe AES Key Wrap[RFC3394] key-encryption algorithm with a 128-bitkey. There are three object identifiers for the AES Key Wrap, one foreach permitted size of the key-encryption key. There are three objectidentifiers imported from[RFC5912], and none of these algorithmidentifiers have associated parameters:¶

This example shows the establishment of an AES-128 content-encryptionkey using:¶
RSA-KEM with a 3072-bit key and KDF3 with SHA-256;¶
KEMRecipientInfo key derivation using KDF3 with SHA-256; and¶
KEMRecipientInfo Key Wrap using AES-128-KEYWRAP.¶
In real-world use, the originator would encrypt the content-encryptionkey in a manner that would allow decryption with their own private keyas well as the recipient's private key. This is omitted in an attemptto simplify the example.¶
