Are there any crypto analysis papers that I can peruse in case I am
interested?

Subject: [Jose-reg-review] Request to register JOSE algorithms for the FIDO
Alliance

 

Hi,

 

The FIDO Alliance would like to register the following algorithms in the
IANA "JSON Web Signature and Encryption Algorithms" registry:

1. "ED256", see
<https://fidoalliance.org/specs/fido-v2.0-id-20180227/fido-ecdaa-algorithm-v
2.0-id-20180227.html#iana-considerations>
https://fidoalliance.org/specs/fido-v2.0-id-20180227/fido-ecdaa-algorithm-v2
.0-id-20180227.html#iana-considerations

2. "ED512", see
<https://fidoalliance.org/specs/fido-v2.0-id-20180227/fido-ecdaa-algorithm-v
2.0-id-20180227.html#iana-considerations>
https://fidoalliance.org/specs/fido-v2.0-id-20180227/fido-ecdaa-algorithm-v2
.0-id-20180227.html#iana-considerations

3. "ED638", see
<https://fidoalliance.org/specs/fido-v2.0-id-20180227/fido-ecdaa-algorithm-v
2.0-id-20180227.html#iana-considerations>
https://fidoalliance.org/specs/fido-v2.0-id-20180227/fido-ecdaa-algorithm-v2
.0-id-20180227.html#iana-considerations

4. "ED256-2", 

    - Name "ED256-2"

    - Algorithm Description: ECDAA algorithm based on ECC_BN_DSD_P256 (
<https://fidoalliance.org/specs/fido-v2.0-id-20180227/fido-ecdaa-algorithm-v
2.0-id-20180227.html#bib-DevScoDah2007>
https://fidoalliance.org/specs/fido-v2.0-id-20180227/fido-ecdaa-algorithm-v2
.0-id-20180227.html#bib-DevScoDah2007) curve using SHA256 algorithm.

    - Algorithm Usage Locations: "alg", i.e. used with JWS.

    - JOSE Implementation Requirements: optional

    - Change Controller: FIDO Alliance,  <https://fidoalliance.org/contact/>
https://fidoalliance.org/contact/ 

    - Sections 3. FIDO ECDAA Attestation (
<https://fidoalliance.org/specs/fido-v2.0-id-20180227/fido-ecdaa-algorithm-v
2.0-id-20180227.html#fido-ecdaa-attestation>
https://fidoalliance.org/specs/fido-v2.0-id-20180227/fido-ecdaa-algorithm-v2
.0-id-20180227.html#fido-ecdaa-attestation) and 4. FIDO ECDAA Object Formats
and Algorithm Details (
<https://fidoalliance.org/specs/fido-v2.0-id-20180227/fido-ecdaa-algorithm-v
2.0-id-20180227.html#fido-ecdaa-object-formats-and-algorithm-details>
https://fidoalliance.org/specs/fido-v2.0-id-20180227/fido-ecdaa-algorithm-v2
.0-id-20180227.html#fido-ecdaa-object-formats-and-algorithm-details) of
[FIDOEcdaaAlgorithm].

    - Algorithm Analysis Document(s):
<https://fidoalliance.org/specs/fido-v2.0-id-20180227/fido-ecdaa-algorithm-v
2.0-id-20180227.html#bib-FIDO-DAA-Security-Proof>
https://fidoalliance.org/specs/fido-v2.0-id-20180227/fido-ecdaa-algorithm-v2
.0-id-20180227.html#bib-FIDO-DAA-Security-Proof 

("ED256-2" should have also been in the IANA Considerations section but
isn't due to a clerical error.)

 

These names are related to cryptographic algorithms for Direct Anonymous
Attestation.  The relevant details are described in
<https://fidoalliance.org/specs/fido-v2.0-id-20180227/fido-ecdaa-algorithm-v
2.0-id-20180227.html#iana-considerations>
https://fidoalliance.org/specs/fido-v2.0-id-20180227/fido-ecdaa-algorithm-v2
.0-id-20180227.html#iana-considerations. 

The algorithms were developed by Jan Camenisch of IBM (cc'ed) - a
cryptographic expert.  They are in production use in FIDO deployments.

 

Kind regards,
