The OPAQUE Asymmetric PAKE Protocol

Abstract

This document describes the OPAQUE protocol, a secure asymmetric password-authenticated key exchange (aPAKE) that supports mutual authentication in a client-server setting without reliance on PKI and with security against pre-computation attacks upon server compromise. In addition, the protocol provides forward secrecy and the ability to hide the password from the server, even during password registration. This document specifies the core OPAQUE protocol and one instantiation based on 3DH.

Table of Contents

1. Introduction

Password authentication is ubiquitous in many applications. In a common implementation, a client authenticates to a server by sending its client ID and password to the server over a secure connection. This makes the password vulnerable to server mishandling, including accidentally logging the password or storing it in plaintext in a database. Server compromise resulting in access to these plaintext passwords is not an uncommon security incident, even among security-conscious organizations. Moreover, plaintext password authentication over secure channels such as TLS is also vulnerable to cases where TLS may fail, including PKI attacks, certificate mishandling, termination outside the security perimeter, visibility to TLS-terminating intermediaries, and more.

Asymmetric (or Augmented) Password Authenticated Key Exchange (aPAKE) protocols are designed to provide password authentication and mutually authenticated key exchange in a client-server setting without relying on PKI (except during client registration) and without disclosing passwords to servers or other entities other than the client machine. A secure aPAKE should provide the best possible security for a password protocol. Indeed, some attacks are inevitable, such as online impersonation attempts with guessed client passwords and offline dictionary attacks upon the compromise of a server and leakage of its credential file. In the latter case, the attacker learns a mapping of a client's password under a one-way function and uses such a mapping to validate potential guesses for the password. Crucially important is for the password protocol to use an unpredictable one-way mapping. Otherwise, the attacker can pre-compute a deterministic list of mapped passwords leading to almost instantaneous leakage of passwords upon server compromise.

This document describes OPAQUE, a PKI-free secure aPAKE that is secure against pre-computation attacks. OPAQUE provides forward secrecy with respect to password leakage while also hiding the password from the server, even during password registration. OPAQUE allows applications to increase the difficulty of offline dictionary attacks via iterated hashing or other key stretching schemes. OPAQUE is also extensible, allowing clients to safely store and retrieve arbitrary application data on servers using only their password.

OPAQUE is defined and proven as the composition of three functionalities: an oblivious pseudorandom function (OPRF), a key recovery mechanism, and an authenticated key exchange (AKE) protocol. It can be seen as a "compiler" for transforming any suitable AKE protocol into a secure aPAKE protocol. (See Section 10 for requirements of the OPRF and AKE protocols.) This document specifies one OPAQUE instantiation based on [_3DH]. Other instantiations are possible, as discussed in Appendix C, but their details are out of scope for this document. In general, the modularity of OPAQUE's design makes it easy to integrate with additional AKE protocols, e.g., TLS or HMQV, and with future ones such as those based on post-quantum techniques.

OPAQUE consists of two stages: registration and authenticated key exchange. In the first stage, a client registers its password with the server and stores information used to recover authentication credentials on the server. Recovering these credentials can only be done with knowledge of the client password. In the second stage, a client uses its password to recover those credentials and subsequently uses them as input to an AKE protocol. This stage has additional mechanisms to prevent an active attacker from interacting with the server to guess or confirm clients registered via the first phase. Servers can use this mechanism to safeguard registered clients against this type of enumeration attack; see Section 10.9 for more discussion.

The name OPAQUE is a homonym of O-PAKE where O is for Oblivious. The name OPAKE was taken.

This draft complies with the requirements for PAKE protocols set forth in [RFC8125].

1.1. Requirements Notation

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.

1.2. Notation

The following functions are used throughout this document:

  • I2OSP and OS2IP: Convert a byte string to and from a non-negative integer as described in Section 4 of [RFC8017]. Note that these functions operate on byte strings in big-endian byte order.
  • concat(x0, ..., xN): Concatenate byte strings. For example, concat(0x01, 0x0203, 0x040506) = 0x010203040506.
  • random(n): Generate a cryptographically secure pseudorandom byte string of length n bytes.
  • xor(a,b): Apply XOR to byte strings. For example, xor(0xF0F0, 0x1234) = 0xE2C4. It is an error to call this function with arguments of unequal length.
  • ct_equal(a, b): Return true if a is equal to b, and false otherwise. The implementation of this function must be constant-time in the length of a and b, which are assumed to be of equal length, irrespective of the values a or b.

Except if said otherwise, random choices in this specification refer to drawing with uniform distribution from a given set (i.e., "random" is short for "uniformly random"). Random choices can be replaced with fresh outputs from a cryptographically strong pseudorandom generator, according to the requirements in [RFC4086], or pseudorandom function. For convenience, we define nil as a lack of value.

All protocol messages and structures defined in this document use the syntax from [RFC8446], Section 3.

2. Cryptographic Dependencies

OPAQUE depends on the following cryptographic protocols and primitives:

This section describes these protocols and primitives in more detail. Unless said otherwise, all random nonces and seeds used in these dependencies and the rest of the OPAQUE protocol are of length Nn and Nseed bytes, respectively, where Nn = Nseed = 32.

2.1. Oblivious Pseudorandom Function

An Oblivious Pseudorandom Function (OPRF) is a two-party protocol between client and server for computing a PRF such that the client learns the PRF output and neither party learns the input of the other. This specification depends on the prime-order OPRF construction specified in [OPRF], draft version -09, using the OPRF mode (0x00) from [OPRF], Section 3.1.

The following OPRF client APIs are used:

  • Blind(element): Create and output (blind, blinded_element), consisting of a blinded representation of input element, denoted blinded_element, along with a value to revert the this blinding process, denoted blind.
  • Finalize(element, blind, evaluated_element): Finalize the OPRF evaluation using input element, random inverter blind, and evaluation output evaluated_element, yielding output oprf_output.

Moreover, the following OPRF server APIs:

  • Evaluate(k, blinded_element): Evaluate blinded input element blinded_element using input key k, yielding output element evaluated_element. This is equivalent to the Evaluate function described in [OPRF], Section 3.3.1, where k is the private key parameter.
  • DeriveKeyPair(seed, info): Derive a private and public key pair deterministically from a seed, as described in [OPRF], Section 3.2. In this specification, the info parameter to DeriveKeyPair is set to "OPAQUE-DeriveKeyPair".

Finally, this specification makes use of the following shared APIs and parameters:

  • SerializeElement(element): Map input element to a fixed-length byte array buf.
  • DeserializeElement(buf): Attempt to map input byte array buf to an OPRF group element. This function can raise a DeserializeError upon failure; see [OPRF], Section 2.1 for more details.
  • Noe: The size of a serialized OPRF group element output from SerializeElement.
  • Nok: The size of an OPRF private key as output from DeriveKeyPair.

This specification uses the OPRF mode (0x00) from [OPRF], Section 3.1.

2.2. Key Derivation Function and Message Authentication Code

A Key Derivation Function (KDF) is a function that takes some source of initial keying material and uses it to derive one or more cryptographically strong keys. This specification uses a KDF with the following API and parameters:

  • Extract(salt, ikm): Extract a pseudorandom key of fixed length Nx bytes from input keying material ikm and an optional byte string salt.
  • Expand(prk, info, L): Expand a pseudorandom key prk using optional string info into L bytes of output keying material.
  • Nx: The output size of the Extract() function in bytes.

This specification also makes use of a collision resistant Message Authentication Code (MAC) with the following API and parameters:

  • MAC(key, msg): Compute a message authentication code over input msg with key key, producing a fixed-length output of Nm bytes.
  • Nm: The output size of the MAC() function in bytes.

2.3. Hash Functions

This specification makes use of a collision-resistant hash function with the following API and parameters:

  • Hash(msg): Apply a cryptographic hash function to input msg, producing a fixed-length digest of size Nh bytes.
  • Nh: The output size of the Hash() function in bytes.

A Key Stretching Function (KSF) is a slow and expensive cryptographic hash function with the following API:

  • Stretch(msg, params): Apply a key stretching function with parameters params to stretch the input msg and harden it against offline dictionary attacks. This function also needs to satisfy collision resistance.

2.4. Key Recovery Method

OPAQUE relies on a key recovery mechanism for storing authentication material on the server and recovering it on the client. This material is encapsulated in an envelope, whose structure, encoding, and size must be specified by the key recovery mechanism. The size of the envelope is denoted Ne and may vary between mechanisms.

The key recovery storage mechanism takes as input a private seed and outputs an envelope. The retrieval process takes as input a private seed and envelope and outputs authentication material. The signatures for these functionalities are as follows:

  • Store(private_seed): build and return an Envelope structure and the client's public key.
  • Recover(private_seed, envelope): recover and return the authentication material for the AKE from the Envelope. This function raises an error if the private seed cannot be used for recovering authentication material from the input envelope.

The key recovery mechanism MUST return an error when trying to recover authentication material from an envelope with a private seed that was not used in producing the envelope.

Moreover, it MUST be compatible with the chosen AKE. For example, the key recovery mechanism specified in Section 4.1 directly recovers a private key from a seed, and the cryptographic primitive in the AKE must therefore support such a possibility.

If applications implement Section 10.9, they MUST use the same mechanism throughout their lifecycle in order to avoid activity leaks due to switching.

2.5. Authenticated Key Exchange (AKE) Protocol

OPAQUE additionally depends on a three-message Authenticated Key Exchange (AKE) protocol which satisfies the forward secrecy and KCI properties discussed in Section 10.

The AKE must define three messages AuthInit, AuthResponse and AuthFinish and provide the following functions for the client:

  • Start(): Initiate the AKE by producing message AuthInit.
  • ClientFinish(client_identity, client_private_key, server_identity, server_public_key, AuthInit): upon receipt of the server's response AuthResponse, complete the protocol for the client, produce AuthFinish.

The AKE protocol must provide the following functions for the server:

  • Response(server_identity, server_private_key, client_identity, client_public_key, AuthInit): upon receipt of a client's request AuthInit, engage in the AKE.
  • ServerFinish(AuthFinish): upon receipt of a client's final AKE message AuthFinish, complete the protocol for the server.

Both ClientFinish and ServerFinish return an error if authentication failed. In this case, clients and servers MUST NOT use any outputs from the protocol, such as session_key or export_key (defined below).

Prior to the execution of these functions, both the client and the server MUST agree on a configuration; see Section 7 for details.

This specification defines one particular AKE based on 3DH; see Section 6.4. 3DH assumes a prime-order group as described in [OPRF], Section 2.1.

3. Protocol Overview

OPAQUE consists of two stages: registration and authenticated key exchange. In the first stage, a client registers its password with the server and stores its credential file on the server. In the second stage the client recovers its authentication material and uses it to perform a mutually authenticated key exchange.

3.1. Setup

Previously to both stages, the client and server agree on a configuration, which fully specifies the cryptographic algorithm dependencies necessary to run the protocol; see Section 7 for details. The client chooses its password, and the server chooses its own pair of keys (server_private_key and server_public_key) for the AKE, and chooses a seed (oprf_seed) of Nh bytes for the OPRF. The server can use the same pair of keys with multiple clients and can opt to use multiple seeds (so long as they are kept consistent for each client).

3.2. Offline Registration

Registration is the only part in OPAQUE that requires a server-authenticated and confidential channel, either physical, out-of-band, PKI-based, etc.

The client inputs its credentials, which includes its password and user identifier, and the server inputs its parameters, which includes its private key and other information.

The client output of this stage is a single value export_key that the client may use for application-specific purposes, e.g., to encrypt additional information for storage on the server. The server does not have access to this export_key.

The server output of this stage is a record corresponding to the client's registration that it stores in a credential file alongside other client registrations as needed.

The registration flow is shown below:

    creds                                   parameters
      |                                         |
      v                                         v
    Client                                    Server
    ------------------------------------------------
                registration request
             ------------------------->
                registration response
             <-------------------------
                      record
             ------------------------->
   ------------------------------------------------
      |                                         |
      v                                         v
  export_key                                 record

These messages are named RegistrationRequest, RegistrationResponse, and Record, respectively. Their contents and wire format are defined in Section 5.1.

3.3. Online Authenticated Key Exchange

In this second stage, a client obtains credentials previously registered with the server, recovers private key material using the password, and subsequently uses them as input to the AKE protocol. As in the registration phase, the client inputs its credentials, including its password and user identifier, and the server inputs its parameters and the credential file record corresponding to the client. The client outputs two values, an export_key (matching that from registration) and a session_key, the latter of which is the primary AKE output. The server outputs a single value session_key that matches that of the client. Upon completion, clients and servers can use these values as needed.

The authenticated key exchange flow is shown below:

    creds                             (parameters, record)
      |                                         |
      v                                         v
    Client                                    Server
    ------------------------------------------------
                   AKE message 1
             ------------------------->
                   AKE message 2
             <-------------------------
                   AKE message 3
             ------------------------->
   ------------------------------------------------
      |                                         |
      v                                         v
(export_key, session_key)                  session_key

These messages are named KE1, KE2, and KE3, respectively. They carry the messages of the concurrent execution of the key recovery process (OPRF) and the authenticated key exchange (AKE):

  • KE1 is composed of the CredentialRequest and AuthInit messages
  • KE2 is composed of the CredentialResponse and AuthResponse messages
  • KE3 represents the AuthFinish message

The CredentialRequest and CredentialResponse message contents and wire format are specified in Section 6.3, and those of AuthInit, AuthResponse and AuthFinish are specified in Section 6.4.1.

The rest of this document describes the details of these stages in detail. Section 4 describes how client credential information is generated, encoded, stored on the server on registration, and recovered on login. Section 5 describes the first registration stage of the protocol, and Section 6 describes the second authentication stage of the protocol. Section 7 describes how to instantiate OPAQUE using different cryptographic dependencies and parameters.

4. Client Credential Storage and Key Recovery

OPAQUE makes use of a structure called Envelope to manage client credentials. The client creates its Envelope on registration and sends it to the server for storage. On every login, the server sends this Envelope to the client so it can recover its key material for use in the AKE.

Future variants of OPAQUE may use different key recovery mechanisms. See Section 4.1 for details.

Applications may pin key material to identities if desired. If no identity is given for a party, its value MUST default to its public key. The following types of application credential information are considered:

These credential values are used in the CleartextCredentials structure as follows:

struct {
  uint8 server_public_key[Npk];
  uint8 server_identity<1..2^16-1>;
  uint8 client_identity<1..2^16-1>;
} CleartextCredentials;

The function CreateCleartextCredentials constructs a CleartextCredentials structure given application credential information.

CreateCleartextCredentials

Input:
- server_public_key, The encoded server public key for the AKE protocol.
- client_public_key, The encoded client public key for the AKE protocol.
- server_identity, The optional encoded server identity.
- client_identity, The optional encoded client identity.

Output:
- cleartext_credentials, a CleartextCredentials structure.

def CreateCleartextCredentials(server_public_key, client_public_key,
                               server_identity, client_identity):
  # Set identities as public keys if no application-layer identity is provided
  if server_identity == nil
    server_identity = server_public_key
  if client_identity == nil
    client_identity = client_public_key

  Create CleartextCredentials cleartext_credentials with
    (server_public_key, server_identity, client_identity)
  return cleartext_credentials

4.1. Key Recovery

This specification defines a key recovery mechanism that uses the stretched OPRF output as a seed to directly derive the private and public key using the DeriveAuthKeyPair() function defined in Section 6.4.2.

4.1.1. Envelope Structure

The key recovery mechanism defines its Envelope as follows:

struct {
  uint8 nonce[Nn];
  uint8 auth_tag[Nm];
} Envelope;

nonce: A unique nonce of length Nn used to protect this Envelope.

auth_tag: Authentication tag protecting the contents of the envelope, covering the envelope nonce, and CleartextCredentials.

4.1.2. Envelope Creation

Clients create an Envelope at registration with the function Store defined below.

Store

Input:
- randomized_pwd, randomized password.

- client_identity, The optional encoded client identity.

Output:
- envelope, the client's `Envelope` structure.
- client_public_key, the client's AKE public key.
- masking_key, an encryption key used by the server with the sole purpose
  of defending against client enumeration attacks.
- export_key, an additional client key.

def Store(randomized_pwd, server_public_key, server_identity, client_identity):
  envelope_nonce = random(Nn)
  masking_key = Expand(randomized_pwd, "MaskingKey", Nh)
  auth_key = Expand(randomized_pwd, concat(envelope_nonce, "AuthKey"), Nh)
  export_key = Expand(randomized_pwd, concat(envelope_nonce, "ExportKey"), Nh)
  seed = Expand(randomized_pwd, concat(envelope_nonce, "PrivateKey"), Nseed)
  (_, client_public_key) = DeriveAuthKeyPair(seed)

  cleartext_creds =
    CreateCleartextCredentials(server_public_key, client_public_key,
                               server_identity, client_identity)
  auth_tag = MAC(auth_key, concat(envelope_nonce, cleartext_creds))

  Create Envelope envelope with (envelope_nonce, auth_tag)
  return (envelope, client_public_key, masking_key, export_key)

4.1.3. Envelope Recovery

Clients recover their Envelope during login with the Recover function defined below.

Recover

Input:
- randomized_pwd, randomized password.
- server_public_key, The encoded server public key for the AKE protocol.
- envelope, the client's `Envelope` structure.
- server_identity, The optional encoded server identity.

def Recover(randomized_pwd, server_public_key, envelope,
            server_identity, client_identity):
  auth_key = Expand(randomized_pwd, concat(envelope.nonce, "AuthKey"), Nh)
  export_key = Expand(randomized_pwd, concat(envelope.nonce, "ExportKey", Nh)
  seed = Expand(randomized_pwd, concat(envelope.nonce, "PrivateKey"), Nseed)
  (client_private_key, client_public_key) = DeriveAuthKeyPair(seed)

  cleartext_creds = CreateCleartextCredentials(server_public_key,
                      client_public_key, server_identity, client_identity)
  expected_tag = MAC(auth_key, concat(envelope.nonce, cleartext_creds))
  If !ct_equal(envelope.auth_tag, expected_tag)
    raise EnvelopeRecoveryError
  return (client_private_key, export_key)

5. Offline Registration

The registration process proceeds as follows. The client inputs the following values:

The server inputs the following values:

The registration protocol then runs as shown below:

  Client                                         Server
 ------------------------------------------------------
 (request, blind) = CreateRegistrationRequest(password)

                        request
              ------------------------->

 response = CreateRegistrationResponse(request,
                                       server_public_key,
                                       credential_identifier,
                                       oprf_seed)

                        response
              <-------------------------

 (record, export_key) = FinalizeRequest(response,
                                        server_identity,
                                        client_identity)

                        record
              ------------------------->

Section 5.2 describes details of the functions and the corresponding parameters referenced above.

Both client and server MUST validate the other party's public key before use. See Section 10.7 for more details. Upon completion, the server stores the client's credentials for later use. Moreover, the client MAY use the output export_key for further application-specific purposes; see Section 10.5.

See Section 6 for details about the output export_key usage.

Upon completion of this function, the client MUST send record to the server.

5.3. Finalize Registration

The server stores the record object as the credential file for each client along with the associated credential_identifier and client_identity (if different). Note that the values oprf_seed and server_private_key from the server's setup phase must also be persisted. The oprf_seed value SHOULD be used for all clients; see Section 10.9. The server_private_key may be unique for each client.

6. Online Authenticated Key Exchange

The generic outline of OPAQUE with a 3-message AKE protocol includes three messages ke1, ke2, and ke3, where ke1 and ke2 include key exchange shares, e.g., DH values, sent by the client and server, respectively, and ke3 provides explicit client authentication and full forward security (without it, forward secrecy is only achieved against eavesdroppers, which is insufficient for OPAQUE security).

This section describes the online authenticated key exchange protocol flow, message encoding, and helper functions. This stage is composed of a concurrent OPRF and key exchange flow. The key exchange protocol is authenticated using the client and server credentials established during registration; see Section 5. In the end, the client proves its knowledge of the password, and both client and server agree on (1) a mutually authenticated shared secret key and (2) any optional application information exchange during the handshake.

In this stage, the client inputs the following values:

The server inputs the following values:

The client receives two outputs: a session secret and an export key. The export key is only available to the client, and may be used for additional application-specific purposes, as outlined in Section 10.5. The output export_key MUST NOT be used in any way before the protocol completes successfully. See Appendix B for more details about this requirement. The server receives a single output: a session secret matching the client's.

The protocol runs as shown below:

  Client                                         Server
 ------------------------------------------------------
  ke1 = ClientInit(password)

                         ke1
              ------------------------->

  ke2 = ServerInit(server_identity, server_private_key,
                    server_public_key, record,
                    credential_identifier, oprf_seed, ke1)

                         ke2
              <-------------------------

    (ke3,
    session_key,
    export_key) = ClientFinish(client_identity, password,
                              server_identity, ke2)

                         ke3
              ------------------------->

                       session_key = ServerFinish(ke3)

Both client and server may use implicit internal state objects to keep necessary material for the OPRF and AKE, client_state and server_state, respectively.

The client state may have the following named fields:

The server state may have the following fields:

The rest of this section describes these authenticated key exchange messages and their parameters in more detail. Section 6.3 discusses internal functions used for retrieving client credentials, and Section 6.4 discusses how these functions are used to execute the authenticated key exchange protocol.

6.1. Client Authentication Functions

ClientInit

State:
- state, a ClientState structure.

Input:
- password, an opaque byte string containing the client's password.

Output:
- ke1, a KE1 message structure.

def ClientInit(password):
  request, blind = CreateCredentialRequest(password)
  state.blind = blind
  ake_1 = Start(request)
  Output KE1(request, ake_1)
ClientFinish

State:
- state, a ClientState structure.

Input:
- client_identity, the optional encoded client identity, which is set
  to client_public_key if not specified.
- server_identity, the optional encoded server identity, which is set
  to server_public_key if not specified.
- ke2, a KE2 message structure.

Output:
- ke3, a KE3 message structure.
- session_key, the session's shared secret.
- export_key, an additional client key.

def ClientFinish(client_identity, server_identity, ke2):
  (client_private_key, server_public_key, export_key) =
    RecoverCredentials(state.password, state.blind, ke2.CredentialResponse,
                       server_identity, client_identity)
  (ke3, session_key) =
    ClientFinalize(client_identity, client_private_key, server_identity,
                    server_public_key, ke2)
  return (ke3, session_key)

6.2. Server Authentication Functions

ServerInit

Input:
- server_identity, the optional encoded server identity, which is set to
  server_public_key if nil.
- server_private_key, the server's private key.
- server_public_key, the server's public key.
- record, the client's RegistrationRecord structure.
- credential_identifier, an identifier that uniquely represents the credential.
- oprf_seed, the server-side seed of Nh bytes used to generate an oprf_key.
- ke1, a KE1 message structure.
- client_identity, the encoded client identity.

Output:
- ke2, a KE2 structure.

def ServerInit(server_identity, server_private_key, server_public_key,
               record, credential_identifier, oprf_seed, ke1, client_identity):
  response = CreateCredentialResponse(ke1.request, server_public_key, record,
    credential_identifier, oprf_seed)
  ake_2 = Response(server_identity, server_private_key,
    client_identity, record.client_public_key, ke1, response)
  return KE2(response, ake_2)

Since the OPRF is a two-message protocol, KE3 has no element of the OPRF. We can therefore call the AKE's ServerFinish() directly. The ServerFinish() function MUST take KE3 as input and MUST verify the client authentication material it contains before the session_key value can be used. This verification is paramount in order to ensure forward secrecy against active attackers.

This function MUST NOT return the session_key value if the client authentication material is invalid, and may instead return an appropriate error message.

6.3. Credential Retrieval

6.3.1. Credential Retrieval Messages

struct {
  uint8 blinded_message[Noe];
} CredentialRequest;
data

A serialized OPRF group element.

struct {
  uint8 evaluated_message[Noe];
  uint8 masking_nonce[Nn];
  uint8 masked_response[Npk + Ne];
} CredentialResponse;
data

A serialized OPRF group element.

masking_nonce

A nonce used for the confidentiality of the masked_response field.

masked_response

An encrypted form of the server's public key and the client's Envelope structure.

6.3.2. Credential Retrieval Functions

6.3.2.1. CreateCredentialRequest
CreateCredentialRequest

Input:
- password, an opaque byte string containing the client's password.

Output:
- request, a CredentialRequest structure.
- blind, an OPRF scalar value.

def CreateCredentialRequest(password):
  (blind, blinded_element) = Blind(password)
  blinded_message = SerializeElement(blinded_element)
  Create CredentialRequest request with blinded_message
  return (request, blind)
6.3.2.2. CreateCredentialResponse

There are two scenarios to handle for the construction of a CredentialResponse object: either the record for the client exists (corresponding to a properly registered client), or it was never created (corresponding to a client that has yet to register).

In the case of an existing record with the corresponding identifier credential_identifier, the server invokes the following function to produce a CredentialResponse:

CreateCredentialResponse

Input:
- request, a CredentialRequest structure.
- server_public_key, the public key of the server.
- record, an instance of RegistrationRecord which is the server's
  output from registration.
- credential_identifier, an identifier that uniquely represents the credential.
- oprf_seed, the server-side seed of Nh bytes used to generate an oprf_key.

Output:
- response, a CredentialResponse structure.

Exceptions:
- DeserializeError, when OPRF element deserialization fails.

def CreateCredentialResponse(request, server_public_key, record,
                             credential_identifier, oprf_seed):
  seed = Expand(oprf_seed, concat(credential_identifier, "OprfKey"), Nok)
  (oprf_key, _) = DeriveKeyPair(seed, "OPAQUE-DeriveKeyPair")

  blinded_element = DeserializeElement(request.blinded_message)
  evaluated_element = Evaluate(oprf_key, blinded_element)
  evaluated_message = SerializeElement(evaluated_element)

  masking_nonce = random(Nn)
  credential_response_pad = Expand(record.masking_key,
                                   concat(masking_nonce, "CredentialResponsePad"),
                                   Npk + Ne)
  masked_response = xor(credential_response_pad,
                        concat(server_public_key, record.envelope))
  Create CredentialResponse response with (evaluated_message, masking_nonce, masked_response)

  return response

In the case of a record that does not exist and if client enumeration prevention is desired, the server MUST respond to the credential request to fake the existence of the record. The server SHOULD invoke the CreateCredentialResponse function with a fake client record argument that is configured so that:

  • record.client_public_key is set to a randomly generated public key of length Npk
  • record.masking_key is set to a random byte string of length Nh
  • record.envelope is set to the byte string consisting only of zeros of length Ne

It is RECOMMENDED that a fake client record is created once (e.g. as the first user record of the application) and stored alongside legitimate client records. This allows servers to locate the record in time comparable to that of a legitimate client record.

Note that the responses output by either scenario are indistinguishable to an adversary that is unable to guess the registered password for the client corresponding to credential_identifier.

6.3.2.3. RecoverCredentials
RecoverCredentials

Input:
- password, an opaque byte string containing the client's password.
- blind, an OPRF scalar value.
- response, a CredentialResponse structure.
- server_identity, The optional encoded server identity.
- client_identity, The encoded client identity.

Output:
- client_private_key, the client's private key for the AKE protocol.
- server_public_key, the public key of the server.
- export_key, an additional client key.

Exceptions:
- DeserializeError, when OPRF element deserialization fails.

def RecoverCredentials(password, blind, response,
                       server_identity, client_identity):
  evaluated_element = DeserializeElement(response.evaluated_message)

  oprf_output = Finalize(password, blind, evaluated_element)
  stretched_oprf_output = Stretch(oprf_output, params)
  randomized_pwd = Extract("", concat(oprf_output, stretched_oprf_output))

  masking_key = Expand(randomized_pwd, "MaskingKey", Nh)
  credential_response_pad = Expand(masking_key,
                                   concat(response.masking_nonce, "CredentialResponsePad"),
                                   Npk + Ne)
  concat(server_public_key, envelope) = xor(credential_response_pad,
                                              response.masked_response)
  (client_private_key, export_key) =
    Recover(randomized_pwd, server_public_key, envelope,
            server_identity, client_identity)

  return (client_private_key, server_public_key, export_key)

6.4. AKE Protocol

This section describes the authenticated key exchange protocol for OPAQUE using 3DH, a 3-message AKE which satisfies the forward secrecy and KCI properties discussed in Section 10.

The AKE client state client_ake_state mentioned in Section 6 has the following named fields:

  • client_secret, an opaque byte string of length Nsk; and
  • ke1, a value of type KE1.

The server state server_ake_state mentioned in Section 6 has the following fields:

  • expected_client_mac, an opaque byte string of length Nm; and
  • session_key, an opaque byte string of length Nx.

Section 6.4.4 and Section 6.4.5 specify the inner workings of client and server functions, respectively.

6.4.1. AKE Messages

struct {
  uint8 client_nonce[Nn];
  uint8 client_keyshare[Npk];
} AuthInit;

client_nonce : A fresh randomly generated nonce of length Nn.

client_keyshare : Client ephemeral key share of fixed size Npk.

struct {
  uint8 server_nonce[Nn];
  uint8 server_keyshare[Npk];
  uint8 server_mac[Nm];
} AuthResponse;

server_nonce : A fresh randomly generated nonce of length Nn.

server_keyshare : Server ephemeral key share of fixed size Npk, where Npk depends on the corresponding prime order group.

server_mac : An authentication tag computed over the handshake transcript computed using Km2, defined below.

struct {
  uint8 client_mac[Nm];
} AuthFinish;

client_mac : An authentication tag computed over the handshake transcript computed using Km2, defined below.

6.4.2. Key Creation

We assume the following functions to exist for all candidate groups in this setting:

  • DeriveAuthKeyPair(seed): Derive a private and public authentication key pair deterministically from the input seed. This function is implemented as DeriveKeyPair(seed, "OPAQUE-DeriveAuthKeyPair"), where DeriveKeyPair is as specified in [OPRF], Section 3.2.
  • GenerateAuthKeyPair(): Return a randomly generated private and public key pair. This can be implemented by invoking DeriveAuthKeyPair with Nseed random bytes as input.
  • SerializeElement(element): A member function of the underlying group that maps element to a unique byte array, mirrored from the definition of the similarly-named function of the OPRF group described in [OPRF], Section 2.1.

6.4.3. Key Schedule Functions

6.4.3.1. Transcript Functions

The OPAQUE-3DH key derivation procedures make use of the functions below, re-purposed from TLS 1.3 [RFC8446].

Expand-Label(Secret, Label, Context, Length) =
    Expand(Secret, CustomLabel, Length)

Where CustomLabel is specified as:

struct {
  uint16 length = Length;
  opaque label<8..255> = "OPAQUE-" + Label;
  uint8 context<0..255> = Context;
} CustomLabel;

Derive-Secret(Secret, Label, Transcript-Hash) =
    Expand-Label(Secret, Label, Transcript-Hash, Nx)

Note that the Label parameter is not a NULL-terminated string.

OPAQUE-3DH can optionally include shared context information in the transcript, such as configuration parameters or application-specific info, e.g. "appXYZ-v1.2.3".

The OPAQUE-3DH key schedule requires a preamble, which is computed as follows.

7. Configurations

An OPAQUE-3DH configuration is a tuple (OPRF, KDF, MAC, Hash, KSF, Group, Context) such that the following conditions are met:

Context is the shared parameter used to construct the preamble in Section 6.4.3.1. This parameter SHOULD include any application-specific configuration information or parameters that are needed to prevent cross-protocol or downgrade attacks.

Absent an application-specific profile, the following configurations are RECOMMENDED:

Future configurations may specify different combinations of dependent algorithms, with the following considerations:

  1. The size of AKE public and private keys -- Npk and Nsk, respectively -- must adhere to the output length limitations of the KDF Expand function. If HKDF is used, this means Npk, Nsk <= 255 * Nx, where Nx is the output size of the underlying hash function. See [RFC5869] for details.
  2. The output size of the Hash function SHOULD be long enough to produce a key for MAC of suitable length. For example, if MAC is HMAC-SHA256, then Nh could be 32 bytes.

8. Application Considerations

Beyond choosing an appropriate configuration, there are several parameters which applications can use to control OPAQUE:

9. Implementation Considerations

This section documents considerations for OPAQUE implementations. This includes implementation safeguards and error handling considerations.

9.1. Implementation Safeguards

Certain information created, exchanged, and processed in OPAQUE is sensitive. Specifically, all private key material and intermediate values, along with the outputs of the key exchange phase, are all secret. Implementations should not retain these values in memory when no longer needed. Moreover, all operations, particularly the cryptographic and group arithmetic operations, should be constant-time and independent of the bits of any secrets. This includes any conditional branching during the creation of the credential response, as needed to mitigate against client enumeration attacks.

As specified in Section 5 and Section 6, OPAQUE only requires the client password as input to the OPRF for registration and authentication. However, implementations can incorporate the client identity alongside the password as input to the OPRF. This provides additional client-side entropy which can supplement the entropy that should be introduced by the server during an honest execution of the protocol. This also provides domain separation between different clients that might otherwise share the same password.

Finally, note that online guessing attacks (against any aPAKE) can be done from both the client side and the server side. In particular, a malicious server can attempt to simulate honest responses in order to learn the client's password. Implementations and deployments of OPAQUE SHOULD consider additional checks to mitigate this type of attack: for instance, by ensuring that there is a server-authenticated channel over which OPAQUE registration and login is run.

9.2. Error Considerations

Some functions included in this specification are fallible. For example, the authenticated key exchange protocol may fail because the client's password was incorrect or the authentication check failed, yielding an error. The explicit errors generated throughout this specifiation, along with conditions that lead to each error, are as follows:

  • EnvelopeRecoveryError: The envelope Recover function failed to produce any authentication key material; Section 4.1.3.
  • ServerAuthenticationError: The client failed to complete the authenticated key exchange protocol with the server; Section 6.4.4.
  • ClientAuthenticationError: The server failed to complete the authenticated key exchange protocol with the client; Section 6.4.5.

Beyond these explicit errors, OPAQUE implementations can produce implicit errors. For example, if protocol messages sent between client and server do not match their expected size, an implementaton should produce an error. More generally, if any protocol message received from the peer is invalid, perhaps because the message contains an invalid public key (indicated by the AKE DeserializeElement function failing) or an invalid OPRF element (indicated by the OPRF DeserializeElement), then an implementation should produce an error.

The errors in this document are meant as a guide for implementors. They are not an exhaustive list of all the errors an implementation might emit. For example, an implementation might run out of memory.

10. Security Considerations

OPAQUE is defined as the composition of two functionalities: an OPRF and an AKE protocol. It can be seen as a "compiler" for transforming any AKE protocol (with KCI security and forward secrecy; see below) into a secure aPAKE protocol. In OPAQUE, the client stores a secret private key at the server during password registration and retrieves this key each time it needs to authenticate to the server. The OPRF security properties ensure that only the correct password can unlock the private key while at the same time avoiding potential offline guessing attacks. This general composability property provides great flexibility and enables a variety of OPAQUE instantiations, from optimized performance to integration with existing authenticated key exchange protocols such as TLS.

10.1. Notable Design Differences

[[RFC EDITOR: Please delete this section before publication.]]

The specification as written here differs from the original cryptographic design in [JKX18] and the corresponding CFRG document [I-D.krawczyk-cfrg-opaque-03], both of which were used as input to the CFRG PAKE competition. This section describes these differences, including their motivation and explanation as to why they preserve the provable security of OPAQUE based on [JKX18].

The following list enumerates important functional differences that were made as part of the protocol specification process to address application or implementation considerations.

  • Clients construct envelope contents without revealing the password to the server, as described in Section 5, whereas the servers construct envelopes in [JKX18]. This change adds to the security of the protocol. [JKX18] considered the case where the envelope was constructed by the server for reasons of compatibility with previous UC modeling. An upcoming paper analyzes the registration phase as specified in this document. This change was made to support registration flows where the client chooses the password and wishes to keep it secret from the server, and it is compatible with the variant in [JKX18] that was originally analyzed.
  • Envelopes do not contain encrypted credentials. Instead, envelopes contain information used to derive client private key material for the AKE. This variant is also analyzed in the new paper referred to in the previous item. This change improves the assumption behind the protocol by getting rid of equivocability and random key robustness for the encryption function. The latter property is only required for authentication and achieved by a collision-resistant MAC. This change was made for two reasons. First, it reduces the number of bytes stored in envelopes, which is an helpful improvement for large applications of OPAQUE with many registered users. Second, it removes the need for client applications to generate authentication keys during registration. Instead, this responsibility is handled by OPAQUE, thereby simplifying the client interface to the protocol.
  • Envelopes are masked with a per-user masking key as a way of preventing client enumeration attacks. See Section 10.9 for more details. This extension is not needed for the security of OPAQUE as an aPAKE but only used to provide a defense against enumeration attacks. In the analysis, the masking key can be simulated as a (pseudo) random key. This change was made to support real-world use cases where client or user enumeration is a security (or privacy) risk.
  • Per-user OPRF keys are derived from a client identity and cross-user PRF seed as a mitigation against client enumeration attacks. See Section 10.9 for more details. The analysis of OPAQUE assumes OPRF keys of different users are independently random or pseudorandom. Deriving these keys via a single PRF (i.e., with a single cross-user key) applied to users' identities satisfies this assumption. This change was made to support real-world use cases where client or user enumeration is a security (or privacy) risk.
  • The protocol outputs an export key for the client in addition to shared session key that can be used for application-specific purposes. This key is a pseudorandom value independent of other values in the protocol and has no influence in the security analysis (it can be simulated with a random output). This change was made to support more application use cases for OPAQUE, such as use of OPAQUE for end-to-end encrypted backups; see [WhatsAppE2E].
  • The protocol admits optional application-layer client and server identities. In the absence of these identities, client and server are authenticated against their public keys. Binding authentication to identities is part of the AKE part of OPAQUE. The type of identities and their semantics are application dependent and independent of the protocol analysis. This change was made to simplify client and server interfaces to the protocol by removing the need to specify additional identities alongside their corresponding public authentication keys when not needed.
  • The protocol admits application-specific context information configured out-of-band in the AKE transcript. This allows domain separation between different application uses of OPAQUE. This is a mechanism for the AKE component and is best practice as for domain separation between different applications of the protocol. This change was made to allow different applications to use OPAQUE without risk of cross-protocol attacks.
  • Servers use a separate identifier for computing OPRF evaluations and indexing into the password file storage, called the credential_identifier. This allows clients to change their application-layer identity (client_identity) without inducing server-side changes, e.g., by changing an email address associated with a given account. This mechanism is part of the derivation of OPRF keys via a single PRF. As long as the derivation of different OPRF keys from a single OPRF have different PRF inputs, the protocol is secure. The choice of such inputs is up to the application.

The following list enumerates notable differences and refinements from the original cryptographic design in [JKX18] and the corresponding CFRG document [I-D.krawczyk-cfrg-opaque-03] that were made to make this specification suitable for interoperable implementations.

  • [JKX18] used a generic prime-order group for the DH-OPRF and HMQV operations, and includes necessary prime-order subgroup checks when receiving attacker-controlled values over the wire. This specification instantiates the prime-order group using for 3DH using prime-order groups based on elliptic curves, as described in [I-D.irtf-cfrg-voprf], Section 2.1. This specification also delegates OPRF group choice and operations to [I-D.irtf-cfrg-voprf]. As such, the prime-order group as used in the OPRF and 3DH as specified in this document both adhere to the requirements as [JKX18].
  • [JKX18] specified DH-OPRF (see Appendix B) to instantiate the OPRF functionality in the protocol. A critical part of DH-OPRF is the hash-to-group operation, which was not instantiated in the original analysis. However, the requirements for this operation were included. This specification instantiates the OPRF functionality based on the [I-D.irtf-cfrg-voprf], which is identical to the DH-OPRF functionality in [JKX18] and, concretely, uses the hash-to-curve functions in [I-D.irtf-cfrg-hash-to-curve]. All hash-to-curve methods in [I-D.irtf-cfrg-hash-to-curve] are compliant with the requirement in [JKX18], namely, that the output be a member of the prime-order group.
  • [JKX18] and [I-D.krawczyk-cfrg-opaque-03] both used HMQV as the AKE for the protocol. However, this document fully specifies 3DH instead of HMQV (though a sketch for how to instantiate OPAQUE using HMQV is included in Appendix C.1). Since 3DH satisfies the essential requirements for the AKE as described in [JKX18] and [I-D.krawczyk-cfrg-opaque-03], as recalled in Section 10.2, this change preserves the overall security of the protocol. 3DH was chosen for its simplicity and ease of implementation.
  • The DH-OPRF and HMQV instantiation of OPAQUE in [JKX18], Figure 12 uses a different transcript than that which is described in this specification. In particular, the key exchange transcript specified in Section 6.4 is a superset of the transcript as defined in [JKX18]. This was done to align with best practices, such as is done for key exchange protocols like TLS 1.3 [RFC8446].
  • Neither [JKX18] nor [I-D.krawczyk-cfrg-opaque-03] included wire format details for the protocol, which is essential for interoperability. This specification fills this gap by including such wire format details and corresponding test vectors; see Appendix D.

10.2. Security Analysis

Jarecki et al. [JKX18] proved the security of OPAQUE in a strong aPAKE model that ensures security against pre-computation attacks and is formulated in the Universal Composability (UC) framework [Canetti01] under the random oracle model. This assumes security of the OPRF function and the underlying key exchange protocol. In turn, the security of the OPRF protocol from [OPRF] is proven in the random oracle model under the One-More Diffie-Hellman assumption [JKKX16].

OPAQUE's design builds on a line of work initiated in the seminal paper of Ford and Kaliski [FK00] and is based on the HPAKE protocol of Xavier Boyen [Boyen09] and the (1,1)-PPSS protocol from Jarecki et al. [JKKX16]. None of these papers considered security against pre-computation attacks or presented a proof of aPAKE security (not even in a weak model).

The KCI property required from AKE protocols for use with OPAQUE states that knowledge of a party's private key does not allow an attacker to impersonate others to that party. This is an important security property achieved by most public-key based AKE protocols, including protocols that use signatures or public key encryption for authentication. It is also a property of many implicitly authenticated protocols, e.g., HMQV, but not all of them. We also note that key exchange protocols based on shared keys do not satisfy the KCI requirement, hence they are not considered in the OPAQUE setting. We note that KCI is needed to ensure a crucial property of OPAQUE: even upon compromise of the server, the attacker cannot impersonate the client to the server without first running an exhaustive dictionary attack. Another essential requirement from AKE protocols for use in OPAQUE is to provide forward secrecy (against active attackers).

10.4. Identities

AKE protocols generate keys that need to be uniquely and verifiably bound to a pair of identities. In the case of OPAQUE, those identities correspond to client_identity and server_identity. Thus, it is essential for the parties to agree on such identities, including an agreed bit representation of these identities as needed.

Applications may have different policies about how and when identities are determined. A natural approach is to tie client_identity to the identity the server uses to fetch envelope (hence determined during password registration) and to tie server_identity to the server identity used by the client to initiate an offline password registration or online authenticated key exchange session. server_identity and client_identity can also be part of the envelope or be tied to the parties' public keys. In principle, identities may change across different sessions as long as there is a policy that can establish if the identity is acceptable or not to the peer. However, we note that the public keys of both the server and the client must always be those defined at the time of password registration.

The client identity (client_identity) and server identity (server_identity) are optional parameters that are left to the application to designate as aliases for the client and server. If the application layer does not supply values for these parameters, then they will be omitted from the creation of the envelope during the registration stage. Furthermore, they will be substituted with client_identity = client_public_key and server_identity = server_public_key during the authenticated key exchange stage.

The advantage to supplying a custom client_identity and server_identity (instead of simply relying on a fallback to client_public_key and server_public_key) is that the client can then ensure that any mappings between client_identity and client_public_key (and server_identity and server_public_key) are protected by the authentication from the envelope. Then, the client can verify that the client_identity and server_identity contained in its envelope match the client_identity and server_identity supplied by the server.

However, if this extra layer of verification is unnecessary for the application, then simply leaving client_identity and server_identity unspecified (and using client_public_key and server_public_key instead) is acceptable.

10.5. Export Key Usage

The export key can be used (separately from the OPAQUE protocol) to provide confidentiality and integrity to other data which only the client should be able to process. For instance, if the server is expected to maintain any client-side secrets which require a password to access, then this export key can be used to encrypt these secrets so that they remain hidden from the server.

10.6. Static Diffie-Hellman Oracles

While one can expect the practical security of the OPRF function (namely, the hardness of computing the function without knowing the key) to be in the order of computing discrete logarithms or solving Diffie-Hellman, Brown and Gallant [BG04] and Cheon [Cheon06] show an attack that slightly improves on generic attacks. For typical curves, the attack requires an infeasible number of calls to the OPRF or results in insignificant security loss; see [OPRF] for more information. For OPAQUE, these attacks are particularly impractical as they translate into an infeasible number of failed authentication attempts directed at individual users.

10.7. Input Validation

Both client and server MUST validate the other party's public key(s) used for the execution of OPAQUE. This includes the keys shared during the offline registration phase, as well as any keys shared during the online key agreement phase. The validation procedure varies depending on the type of key. For example, for OPAQUE instantiations using 3DH with P-256, P-384, or P-521 as the underlying group, validation is as specified in Section 5.6.2.3.4 of [keyagreement]. This includes checking that the coordinates are in the correct range, that the point is on the curve, and that the point is not the point at infinity. Additionally, validation MUST ensure the Diffie-Hellman shared secret is not the point at infinity.

10.8. OPRF Key Stretching

Applying a key streching function to the output of the OPRF greatly increases the cost of an offline attack upon the compromise of the credential file at the server. Applications SHOULD select parameters that balance cost and complexity. Note that in OPAQUE, the key stretching function is executed by the client, as opposed to the server. This means that applications must consider a tradeoff between the performance of the protocol on clients (specifically low-end devices) and protection against offline attacks after a server compromise.

10.9. Client Enumeration

Client enumeration refers to attacks where the attacker tries to learn extra information about the behavior of clients that have registered with the server. There are two types of attacks we consider:

1) An attacker tries to learn whether a given client identity is registered with a server, and 2) An attacker tries to learn whether a given client identity has recently completed registration, re-registered (e.g. after a password change), or changed its identity.

OPAQUE prevents these attacks during the authentication flow. The first is prevented by requiring servers to act with unregistered client identities in a way that is indistinguishable from its behavior with existing registered clients. Servers do this by simulating a fake CredentialResponse as specified in Section 6.3.2.2 for unregistered users, and also encrypting both CredentialResponse using a masking key. In this way, real and fake CredentialResponse messages are indistinguishable from one another. Implementations must also take care to avoid side-channel leakage (e.g., timing attacks) from helping differentiate these operations from a regular server response. Note that this may introduce possible abuse vectors since the server's cost of generating a CredentialResponse is less than that of the client's cost of generating a CredentialRequest. Server implementations may choose to forego the construction of a simulated credential response message for an unregistered client if these client enumeration attacks can be mitigated through other application-specific means or are otherwise not applicable for their threat model.

Preventing the second type of attack requires the server to supply a credential_identifier value for a given client identity, consistently between the registration response and credential response; see Section 5.2.2 and Section 6.3.2.2. Note that credential_identifier can be set to client_identity for simplicity.

In the event of a server compromise that results in a re-registration of credentials for all compromised clients, the oprf_seed value MUST be resampled, resulting in a change in the oprf_key value for each client. Although this change can be detected by an adversary, it is only leaked upon password rotation after the exposure of the credential files, and equally affects all registered clients.

Finally, applications must use the same key recovery mechanism when using this prevention throughout their lifecycle. The envelope size may vary between mechanisms, so a switch could then be detected.

OPAQUE does not prevent either type of attack during the registration flow. Servers necessarily react differently during the registration flow between registered and unregistered clients. This allows an attacker to use the server's response during registration as an oracle for whether a given client identity is registered. Applications should mitigate against this type of attack by rate limiting or otherwise restricting the registration flow.

10.10. Password Salt and Storage Implications

In OPAQUE, the OPRF key acts as the secret salt value that ensures the infeasibility of pre-computation attacks. No extra salt value is needed. Also, clients never disclose their passwords to the server, even during registration. Note that a corrupted server can run an exhaustive offline dictionary attack to validate guesses for the client's password; this is inevitable in any aPAKE protocol. (OPAQUE enables defense against such offline dictionary attacks by distributing the server so that an offline attack is only possible if all - or a minimal number of - servers are compromised [JKX18].) Furthermore, if the server does not sample this OPRF key with sufficiently high entropy, or if it is not kept hidden from an adversary, then any derivatives from the client's password may also be susceptible to an offline dictionary attack to recover the original password.

Some applications may require learning the client's password for enforcing password rules. Doing so invalidates this important security property of OPAQUE and is NOT RECOMMENDED. Applications should move such checks to the client. Note that limited checks at the server are possible to implement, e.g., detecting repeated passwords.

10.11. AKE Private Key Storage

Server implementations of OPAQUE do not need access to the raw AKE private key. They only require the ability to compute shared secrets as specified in Section 6.4.3. Thus, applications may store the server AKE private key in a Hardware Security Module (HSM) or similar. Upon compromise of the OPRF seed and client envelopes, this would prevent an attacker from using this data to mount a server spoofing attack. Supporting implementations need to consider allowing separate AKE and OPRF algorithms in cases where the HSM is incompatible with the OPRF algorithm.

Appendix B. Alternate Key Recovery Mechanisms

Client authentication material can be stored and retrieved using different key recovery mechanisms, provided these mechanisms adhere to the requirements specified in Section 2.4. Any key recovery mechanism that encrypts data in the envelope MUST use an authenticated encryption scheme with random key-robustness (or key-committing). Deviating from the key-robustness requirement may open the protocol to attacks, e.g., [LGR20]. This specification enforces this property by using a MAC over the envelope contents.

We remark that export_key for authentication or encryption requires no special properties from the authentication or encryption schemes as long as export_key is used only after authentication material is successfully recovered, i.e., after the MAC in RecoverCredentials passes verification.

Appendix C. Alternate AKE Instantiations

It is possible to instantiate OPAQUE with other AKEs, such as HMQV [HMQV] and SIGMA-I. HMQV is similar to 3DH but varies in its key schedule. SIGMA-I uses digital signatures rather than static DH keys for authentication. Specification of these instantiations is left to future documents. A sketch of how these instantiations might change is included in the next subsection for posterity.

OPAQUE may also be instantiated with any post-quantum (PQ) AKE protocol that has the message flow above and security properties (KCI resistance and forward secrecy) outlined in Section 10. Note that such an instantiation is not quantum-safe unless the OPRF is quantum-safe. However, an OPAQUE instantiation where the AKE is quantum-safe, but the OPRF is not, would still ensure the confidentiality of application data encrypted under session_key (or a key derived from it) with a quantum-safe encryption function.

C.1. HMQV Instantiation Sketch

An HMQV instantiation would work similar to OPAQUE-3DH, differing primarily in the key schedule [HMQV]. First, the key schedule preamble value would use a different constant prefix -- "HMQV" instead of "3DH" -- as shown below.

preamble = concat("HMQV",
                  I2OSP(len(client_identity), 2), client_identity,
                  KE1,
                  I2OSP(len(server_identity), 2), server_identity,
                  KE2.credential_response,
                  KE2.AuthResponse.server_nonce, KE2.AuthResponse.server_keyshare)

Second, the IKM derivation would change. Assuming HMQV is instantiated with a cyclic group of prime order p with bit length L, clients would compute IKM as follows:

u' = (eskU + u \* skU) mod p
IKM = (epkS \* pkS^s)^u'

Likewise, servers would compute IKM as follows:

s' = (eskS + s \* skS) mod p
IKM = (epkU \* pkU^u)^s'

In both cases, u would be computed as follows:

hashInput = concat(I2OSP(len(epkU), 2), epkU,
                   I2OSP(len(info), 2), info,
                   I2OSP(len("client"), 2), "client")
u = Hash(hashInput) mod L

Likewise, s would be computed as follows:

hashInput = concat(I2OSP(len(epkS), 2), epkS,
                   I2OSP(len(info), 2), info,
                   I2OSP(len("server"), 2), "server")
s = Hash(hashInput) mod L

Hash is the same hash function used in the main OPAQUE protocol for key derivation. Its output length (in bits) must be at least L.

C.2. SIGMA-I Instantiation Sketch

A SIGMA-I instantiation differs more drastically from OPAQUE-3DH since authentication uses digital signatures instead of Diffie Hellman. In particular, both KE2 and KE3 would carry a digital signature, computed using the server and client private keys established during registration, respectively, as well as a MAC, where the MAC is computed as in OPAQUE-3DH.

The key schedule would also change. Specifically, the key schedule preamble value would use a different constant prefix -- "SIGMA-I" instead of "3DH" -- and the IKM computation would use only the ephemeral key shares exchanged between client and server.

Appendix D. Test Vectors

This section contains real and fake test vectors for the OPAQUE-3DH specification. Each real test vector in Appendix D.1 specifies the configuration information, protocol inputs, intermediate values computed during registration and authentication, and protocol outputs.

Similarly, each fake test vector in Appendix D.2 specifies the configuration information, protocol inputs, and protocol outputs computed during authentication of an unknown or unregistered user. Note that masking_key, client_private_key, and client_public_key are used as additional inputs as described in Section 6.3.2.2. client_public_key is used as the fake record's public key, and masking_key for the fake record's masking key parameter.

All values are encoded in hexadecimal strings. The configuration information includes the (OPRF, Hash, KSF, KDF, MAC, Group, Context) tuple, where the Group matches that which is used in the OPRF. These test vectors were generated using draft-09 of [OPRF].
