I am working on -04. These comments will be addressed. Regarding Section 6, I suggest: Implementations must protect the pre-shared key (PSK), key transport private key, the agreement private key, the key-derivation key, and the key-encryption key. Compromise of the PSK will make the encrypted content vulnerable to the future invention of a large-scale quantum computer. Compromise of the PSK and either the key transport private key or the agreement private key may result in the disclosure of all contents protected with that combination of keying material. Compromise of the PSK and the key-derivation key may result in disclosure of all contents protected with that combination of keying material. Compromise of the key-encryption key may result in the disclosure of all content-encryption keys or content-authenticated- encryption keys that were protected with that keying materail, which in turn may result in the disclosure of the content.

I guess the “may” hedges those statements and makes them still technically true. RFC 5652 says the same thing about the private keys, except in that case the disclosure of the keys would definitely allow disclosure of the protect content. So maybe in this draft you want to qualify that if the private keys and the PSK are disclosed, the protected content may also be disclosed. > > (nit) s/randomly generate key-derivation key/randomly generate key-derivation keys/ > (nit?) s/as well as the content-encryption key/as well as the content-encryption keys/ > (nit?) s/or content-authenticated-encryption key/or content-authenticated-encryption keys/ > (nit) s/If the key-encryption algorithm is different that/If the key-encryption algorithm is different than/ > (nit) s/Implementer should not/Implementers should not/ > (nit) s/send the same content in different in separate messages/send the same content in different/ > > Thanks, > Dan > > On 2018-03-05, 8:23 PM, "Spasm on behalf of Russ Housley" <spasm-bounces@ietf.org on behalf of housley@vigilsec.com> wrote: > > I would like to make people on this mail list aware of this Internet-Draft. > > Russ > > = = = = = = = = = = > > A new version of I-D, draft-housley-cms-mix-with-psk-03.txt > has been successfully submitted by Russell Housley and posted to the > IETF repository. > > Name: draft-housley-cms-mix-with-psk > Revision: 03 > Title: Using Pre-Shared Key (PSK) in the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) > Document date: 2018-03-05 > Group: Individual Submission > Pages: 13 > URL: https://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-housley-cms-mix-with-psk-03.txt > Status: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-housley-cms-mix-with-psk/ > Htmlized: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-housley-cms-mix-with-psk-03 > Htmlized: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-housley-cms-mix-with-psk-03 > Diff: https://www.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-housley-cms-mix-with-psk-03 > > Abstract: > The invention of a large-scale quantum computer would pose a serious > challenge for the cryptographic algorithms that are widely deployed > today.
