% ChaCha20 and Poly1305 for IETF protocols % Y. Nir (Check Point), A. Langley (Google Inc), D. McNamee (Galois, Inc) % July 28, 2014 ## Abstract This document defines the ChaCha20 stream cipher, as well as the use of the Poly1305 authenticator, both as stand-alone algorithms, and as a "combined mode", or Authenticated Encryption with Additional Data (AEAD) algorithm. This document does not introduce any new crypto, but is meant to serve as a stable reference and an implementation guide. This version of the document is a translation of the IETF draft document draft-irtf-cfrg-chacha20-poly1305 into "literate Cryptol". This document can be loaded and executed by a Cryptol interpreter. There is an open source implementation of Cryptol available at http://cryptol.net ## Copyright Notice Copyright (c) 2014 IETF Trust and the persons identified as the document authors.

Its efficient design, wide implementation, and hardware support allow for high performance in many areas. On most modern platforms, AES is anywhere from 4x to 10x as fast as the previous most-used cipher, 3-key Data Encryption Standard (3DES - [FIPS-46]), which makes it not only the best choice, but the only practical choice. The problem is that if future advances in cryptanalysis reveal a weakness in AES, users will be in an unenviable position. With the only other widely supported cipher being the much slower 3DES, it is not feasible to re-configure implementations to use 3DES. [standby-cipher] describes this issue and the need for a standby cipher in greater detail. This document defines such a standby cipher. We use ChaCha20 ([chacha]) with or without the Poly1305 ([poly1305]) authenticator. These algorithms are not just fast. They are fast even in software- only C-language implementations, allowing for much quicker deployment when compared with algorithms such as AES that are significantly accelerated by hardware implementations. This document does not introduce these new algorithms. They have been defined in scientific papers by D. J. Bernstein, which are referenced by this document. The purpose of this document is to serve as a stable reference for IETF documents making use of these algorithms. These algorithms have undergone rigorous analysis. Several papers discuss the security of Salsa and ChaCha ([LatinDances], [Zhenqing2012]). ## Conventions Used in This Document The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119]. The description of the ChaCha algorithm will at various time refer to the ChaCha state as a "vector" or as a "matrix". This follows the use of these terms in DJB's paper. The matrix notation is more visually convenient, and gives a better notion as to why some rounds are called "column rounds" while others are called "diagonal rounds". Here's a diagram of how matrices relate to vectors (using the C language convention of zero being the index origin). ```example 0 , 1 , 2 , 3, 4 , 5 , 6 , 7, 8 , 9 , 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 ``` The elements in this vector or matrix are 32-bit unsigned integers. ```cryptol module ChaCha20 where type ChaChaState = [16][32] ``` The algorithm name is "ChaCha". "ChaCha20" is a specific instance where 20 "rounds" (or 80 quarter rounds - see "The ChaCha Quarter Round", below) are used. Other variations are defined, with 8 or 12 rounds, but in this document we only describe the 20-round ChaCha, so the names "ChaCha" and "ChaCha20" will be used interchangeably. # The Algorithms The subsections below describe the algorithms used and the AEAD construction. ## The ChaCha Quarter Round The basic operation of the ChaCha algorithm is the quarter round. It operates on four 32-bit unsigned integers, denoted a, b, c, and d. The operation is as follows: ```cryptol ChaChaQuarterround : [4][32] -> [4][32] ChaChaQuarterround [a, b, c, d] = [a'', b'', c'', d''] where a' = a + b d' = (d ^ a') <<< 16 c' = c + d' b' = (b ^ c') <<< 12 a'' = a' + b' d'' = (d' ^ a'') <<< 8 c'' = c' + d'' b'' = (b' ^ c'') <<< 7 ``` Where "+" denotes integer addition without carry, "^" denotes a bitwise XOR, and "<<< n" denotes an n-bit left rotation (towards the high bits). For example, let's see the add, XOR and roll operations from the first two lines with sample numbers: * b = 0x01020304 * a = 0x11111111 * d = 0x01234567 * a = a + b = 0x11111111 + 0x01020304 = 0x12131415 * d = d ^ a = 0x01234567 ^ 0x12131415 = 0x13305172 * d = d<<<16 = 0x51721330 ### Test Vector for the ChaCha Quarter Round For a test vector, we will use the same numbers as in the example, adding something random for c. After running a Quarter Round on these 4 numbers, we get these: ```cryptol property ChaChaQuarterround_passes_test = ChaChaQuarterround [ 0x11111111 // a , 0x01020304 // b , 0x9b8d6f43 // c , 0x01234567 // d ] == [ 0xea2a92f4 , 0xcb1cf8ce , 0x4581472e , 0x5881c4bb ] ``` ## A Quarter Round on the ChaCha State The ChaCha state does not have 4 integer numbers, but 16. So the quarter round operation works on only 4 of them - hence the name. Each quarter round operates on 4 pre-determined numbers in the ChaCha state. We will denote by QUATERROUND(x,y,z,w) a quarter-round operation on the numbers at indexes x, y, z, and w of the ChaCha state when viewed as a vector. For example, if we apply QUARTERROUND(1,5,9,13) to a state, this means running the quarter round operation on the elements marked with an asterisk, while leaving the others alone: ```example 0 *a 2 3 4 *b 6 7 8 *c 10 11 12 *d 14 15 ``` Note that this run of quarter round is part of what is called a "column round". ### Test Vector for the Quarter Round on the ChaCha state For a test vector, we will use a ChaCha state that was generated randomly: Sample ChaCha State ```example 879531e0 c5ecf37d 516461b1 c9a62f8a 44c20ef3 3390af7f d9fc690b 2a5f714c 53372767 b00a5631 974c541a 359e9963 5c971061 3d631689 2098d9d6 91dbd320 ``` We will apply the QUARTERROUND(2,7,8,13) operation to this state. For obvious reasons, this one is part of what is called a "diagonal round": After applying QUARTERROUND(2,7,8,13) ```example 879531e0 c5ecf37d bdb886dc c9a62f8a 44c20ef3 3390af7f d9fc690b cfacafd2 e46bea80 b00a5631 974c541a 359e9963 5c971061 ccc07c79 2098d9d6 91dbd320 ``` Note that only the numbers in positions 2, 7, 8, and 13 changed. In the Cryptol implementation of ChaCha20, the ChaChaQuarterround is called on four elements at a time, and there is no destructive state modification, so it would be artificial to reproduce the above example of the partially-destructively modified matrix. Instead, we show the output of calling ChaChaQuarterround on the diagonal elements identified above: ```cryptol property ChaChaQuarterround_passes_column_test = ChaChaQuarterround [ 0x516461b1 // a , 0x2a5f714c // b , 0x53372767 // c , 0x3d631689 // d ] == [ 0xbdb886dc , 0xcfacafd2 , 0xe46bea80 , 0xccc07c79 ] ``` ## The ChaCha20 block Function The ChaCha block function transforms a ChaCha state by running multiple quarter rounds. The inputs to ChaCha20 are: * A 256-bit key, treated as a concatenation of 8 32-bit little-endian integers. * A 96-bit nonce, treated as a concatenation of 3 32-bit little-endian integers. * A 32-bit block count parameter, treated as a 32-bit little-endian integer. The output is 64 random-looking bytes. ```cryptol ChaCha20Block : ChaChaKey -> [96] -> [32] -> ChaChaState ``` The ChaCha algorithm described here uses a 256-bit key. The original algorithm also specified 128-bit keys and 8- and 12-round variants, but these are out of scope for this document. In this section we describe the ChaCha block function. ```cryptol type ChaChaKey = [256] ``` Note also that the original ChaCha had a 64-bit nonce and 64-bit block count. We have modified this here to be more consistent with recommendations in section 3.2 of [RFC5116]. This limits the use of a single (key,nonce) combination to 2^32 blocks, or 256 GB, but that is enough for most uses. In cases where a single key is used by multiple senders, it is important to make sure that they don't use the same nonces. This can be assured by partitioning the nonce space so that the first 32 bits are unique per sender, while the other 64 bits come from a counter. The ChaCha20 state is initialized as follows: * The first 4 words (0-3) are constants: 0x61707865, 0x3320646e, 0x79622d32, 0x6b206574. ```cryptol FirstRow = [0x61707865, 0x3320646e, 0x79622d32, 0x6b206574] property FirstRow_correct = groupBy`{8}(join [ littleendian (split w) | w <- FirstRow ]) == "expand 32-byte k" ``` * The next 8 words (4-11) are taken from the 256-bit key by reading the bytes in little-endian order, in 4-byte chunks. ```cryptol KeyToRows : ChaChaKey -> [8][32] KeyToRows key = [littleendian (split words) | words <- (split key)] ``` * Word 12 is a block counter. Since each block is 64-byte, a 32-bit word is enough for 256 Gigabytes of data. * Words 13-15 are a nonce, which should not be repeated for the same key. The 13th word is the first 32 bits of the input nonce taken as a little-endian integer, while the 15th word is the last 32 bits. ```verbatim Initial state structure: cccccccc cccccccc cccccccc cccccccc kkkkkkkk kkkkkkkk kkkkkkkk kkkkkkkk kkkkkkkk kkkkkkkk kkkkkkkk kkkkkkkk bbbbbbbb nnnnnnnn nnnnnnnn nnnnnnnn c=constant k=key b=blockcount n=nonce ``` ```cryptol NonceToRow : [96] -> [32] -> [4][32] NonceToRow n i = [i] # [ littleendian (split words) | words <- groupBy`{32} n ] ``` ```cryptol BuildState : ChaChaKey -> [96] -> [32] -> [16][32] BuildState key nonce i = split (join (FirstRow # KeyToRows key # NonceToRow nonce i)) ``` ChaCha20 runs 20 rounds, alternating between "column" and "diagonal" rounds. Each round is 4 quarter-rounds, and they are run as follows. Rounds 1-4 are part of the "column" round, while 5-8 are part of the "diagonal" round: ```cryptol columns = [ 0, 4, 8, 12, // round 1 - column round 1, 5, 9, 13, // round 2 2, 6, 10, 14, // round 3 3, 7, 11, 15 ] // round 4 diags = [ 0, 5, 10, 15, // round 5 - diagonal round 1, 6, 11, 12, // round 6 2, 7, 8, 13, // round 7 3, 4, 9, 14 ] // round 8 ``` The Cryptol pattern of using the `@@` operator on permutations of the indices of the matrix creates a new matrix that consists of rows that correspond to the quarter-round calls. To restore the element-indices to their original ordering, after each application we perform the inverse permutation. Since the column round is just a square matrix transposition, it inverts itself, but the diagonal round needs to have an inverse permutation calculated, which we do here: ```cryptol inversePermutation (perms:[a+1]b) = [ indexOf i perms | i <- [ 0 .. a ] ] invDiags = inversePermutation diags invCols = inversePermutation columns // which happens to be the same as columns ChaChaTwoRounds (xs:ChaChaState) = xs'' where xs' = join [ChaChaQuarterround x | x <- groupBy`{4}(xs@@columns) ] @@ invCols xs'' = (join [ChaChaQuarterround x | x <- groupBy`{4}(xs'@@diags ) ]) @@ invDiags ChaCha : ChaChaState -> [8] -> ChaChaState ChaCha s n = chain@n where chain = [s] # [ ChaChaTwoRounds ci | ci <- chain | i <- [0 .. 9] ] ``` At the end of 20 rounds, the original input words are added to the output words, and the result is serialized by sequencing the words one-by-one in little-endian order. ```cryptol // ChaCha20Block : ChaChaKey -> [96] -> [32] -> ChaChaState (repeated from above) ChaCha20Block key nonce i = (ChaCha initialState 10) + initialState where initialState = BuildState key nonce i ``` ### Test Vector for the ChaCha20 Block Function For a test vector, we will use the following inputs to the ChaCha20 block function: ```cryptol TestKey : ChaChaKey TestKey = join (parseHexString ( "00:01:02:03:04:05:06:07:08:09:0a:0b:0c:0d:0e:0f:10:11:12:13:" # "14:15:16:17:18:19:1a:1b:1c:1d:1e:1f.") ) ``` The key is a sequence of octets with no particular structure before we copy it into the ChaCha state. ```cryptol TestNonce : [96] TestNonce = join (parseHexString "00:00:00:09:00:00:00:4a:00:00:00:00.") ``` After setting up the ChaCha state, it looks like this: ChaCha State with the key set up. ```cryptol TestState = BuildState TestKey TestNonce 1 property BuildState_correct = TestState == [ 0x61707865, 0x3320646e, 0x79622d32, 0x6b206574, 0x03020100, 0x07060504, 0x0b0a0908, 0x0f0e0d0c, 0x13121110, 0x17161514, 0x1b1a1918, 0x1f1e1d1c, 0x00000001, 0x09000000, 0x4a000000, 0x00000000 ] ``` After running 20 rounds (10 column rounds interleaved with 10 diagonal rounds), the ChaCha state looks like this: ChaCha State after 20 rounds ```cryptol ChaCha20_state1 = [ 0x837778ab, 0xe238d763, 0xa67ae21e, 0x5950bb2f, 0xc4f2d0c7, 0xfc62bb2f, 0x8fa018fc, 0x3f5ec7b7, 0x335271c2, 0xf29489f3, 0xeabda8fc, 0x82e46ebd, 0xd19c12b4, 0xb04e16de, 0x9e83d0cb, 0x4e3c50a2 ] property ChaChaStateAfter20_correct = ChaCha TestState 10 == ChaCha20_state1 ``` Finally we add the original state to the result (simple vector or matrix addition), giving this: ChaCha State at the end of the ChaCha20 operation ```cryptol ChaCha20_block_1 = [ 0xe4e7f110, 0x15593bd1, 0x1fdd0f50, 0xc47120a3, 0xc7f4d1c7, 0x0368c033, 0x9aaa2204, 0x4e6cd4c3, 0x466482d2, 0x09aa9f07, 0x05d7c214, 0xa2028bd9, 0xd19c12b5, 0xb94e16de, 0xe883d0cb, 0x4e3c50a2 ] property ChaCha20_test1 = ChaCha20Block TestKey TestNonce 1 == ChaCha20_block_1 ``` ## The ChaCha20 encryption algorithm ChaCha20 is a stream cipher designed by D. J. Bernstein. It is a refinement of the Salsa20 algorithm, and uses a 256-bit key. ChaCha20 successively calls the ChaCha20 block function, with the same key and nonce, and with successively increasing block counter parameters. ChaCha20 then serializes the resulting state by writing the numbers in little-endian order, creating a key-stream block. Concatenating the key-stream blocks from the successive blocks forms a key stream, which is then XOR-ed with the plaintext. Alternatively, each key-stream block can be XOR-ed with a plaintext block before proceeding to create the next block, saving some memory. There is no requirement for the plaintext to be an integral multiple of 512-bits. If there is extra keystream from the last block, it is discarded. Specific protocols MAY require that the plaintext and ciphertext have certain length. Such protocols need to specify how the plaintext is padded, and how much padding it receives. The inputs to ChaCha20 are: * A 256-bit key * A 32-bit initial counter. This can be set to any number, but will usually be zero or one. It makes sense to use 1 if we use the zero block for something else, such as generating a one-time authenticator key as part of an AEAD algorithm. * A 96-bit nonce. In some protocols, this is known as the Initialization Vector. * an arbitrary-length plaintext The output is an encrypted message of the same length. ```cryptol // TODO: reorder args below, and get rid of this wrapper ChaCha20Encrypt : {a} (fin a) => ChaChaKey -> [32] -> [96] -> [a][8] -> [a][8] ChaCha20Encrypt k i n msg = ChaCha20EncryptBytes msg k n i ChaCha20EncryptBytes msg k n i= [ m ^ kb | m <- msg | kb <- keystream ] where keystream = groupBy`{8}(join (join (ChaCha20ExpandKey k n i))) ChaCha20ExpandKey : ChaChaKey -> [96] -> [32] -> [inf]ChaChaState ChaCha20ExpandKey k n i = [ ToLittleEndian (ChaCha20Block k n j) | j <- ([i ...]:[_][32]) ] ``` Decryption is done in the same way. The ChaCha20 block function is used to expand the key into a key stream, which is XOR-ed with the ciphertext giving back the plaintext. ```cryptol ChaCha20DecryptBytes = ChaCha20EncryptBytes ``` ### Example and Test Vector for the ChaCha20 Cipher For a test vector, we will use the following inputs to the ChaCha20 block function: ```cryptol Sunscreen_Key = join (parseHexString ( "00:01:02:03:04:05:06:07:08:09:0a:0b:0c:0d:0e:0f:10:11:12:13:" # "14:15:16:17:18:19:1a:1b:1c:1d:1e:1f." ) ) Sunscreen_Nonce = join (parseHexString "00:00:00:00:00:00:00:4a:00:00:00:00.") Sunscreen_Initial_Counter = 1 ``` We use the following for the plaintext. It was chosen to be long enough to require more than one block, but not so long that it would make this example cumbersome (so, less than 3 blocks): Plaintext Sunscreen: ```cryptol Plaintext_Sunscreen = "Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of '99: " # "If I could offer you only one tip for the " # "future, sunscreen would be it." ``` The following figure shows 4 ChaCha state matrices: 1. First block as it is set up. 1. Second block as it is set up. Note that these blocks are only two bits apart - only the counter in position 12 is different. 1. Third block is the first block after the ChaCha20 block operation. 1. Final block is the second block after the ChaCha20 block operation was applied. After that, we show the keystream. First block setup: ```cryptol Sunscreen_State1 = [ 0x61707865, 0x3320646e, 0x79622d32, 0x6b206574, 0x03020100, 0x07060504, 0x0b0a0908, 0x0f0e0d0c, 0x13121110, 0x17161514, 0x1b1a1918, 0x1f1e1d1c, 0x00000001, 0x00000000, 0x4a000000, 0x00000000 ] property SunscreenBuildState_correct = BuildState Sunscreen_Key Sunscreen_Nonce 1 == Sunscreen_State1 ``` Second block setup: ```cryptol Sunscreen_State2 = [ 0x61707865, 0x3320646e, 0x79622d32, 0x6b206574, 0x03020100, 0x07060504, 0x0b0a0908, 0x0f0e0d0c, 0x13121110, 0x17161514, 0x1b1a1918, 0x1f1e1d1c, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x4a000000, 0x00000000 ] property SunscreenBuildState2_correct = BuildState Sunscreen_Key Sunscreen_Nonce 2 == Sunscreen_State2 ``` First block after block operation: ```cryptol SunscreenAfterBlock1 = [ 0xf3514f22, 0xe1d91b40, 0x6f27de2f, 0xed1d63b8, 0x821f138c, 0xe2062c3d, 0xecca4f7e, 0x78cff39e, 0xa30a3b8a, 0x920a6072, 0xcd7479b5, 0x34932bed, 0x40ba4c79, 0xcd343ec6, 0x4c2c21ea, 0xb7417df0 ] property SunscreenBlock1_correct = ChaCha20Block Sunscreen_Key Sunscreen_Nonce 1 == SunscreenAfterBlock1 ``` Second block after block operation: ```cryptol SunscreenAfterBlock2 = [ 0x9f74a669, 0x410f633f, 0x28feca22, 0x7ec44dec, 0x6d34d426, 0x738cb970, 0x3ac5e9f3, 0x45590cc4, 0xda6e8b39, 0x892c831a, 0xcdea67c1, 0x2b7e1d90, 0x037463f3, 0xa11a2073, 0xe8bcfb88, 0xedc49139 ] property SunscreenBlock2_correct = ChaCha20Block Sunscreen_Key Sunscreen_Nonce 2 == SunscreenAfterBlock2 ``` Keystream: ```cryptol SunscreenKeystream = (parseHexString ( "22:4f:51:f3:40:1b:d9:e1:2f:de:27:6f:b8:63:1d:ed:8c:13:1f:82:3d:2c:06:" # "e2:7e:4f:ca:ec:9e:f3:cf:78:8a:3b:0a:a3:72:60:0a:92:b5:79:74:cd:ed:2b:" # "93:34:79:4c:ba:40:c6:3e:34:cd:ea:21:2c:4c:f0:7d:41:b7:69:a6:74:9f:3f:" # "63:0f:41:22:ca:fe:28:ec:4d:c4:7e:26:d4:34:6d:70:b9:8c:73:f3:e9:c5:3a:" # "c4:0c:59:45:39:8b:6e:da:1a:83:2c:89:c1:67:ea:cd:90:1d:7e:2b:f3:63." ) ) SunscreenKeystream_correct (skref:[skwidth][8]) = take`{skwidth} (groupBy`{8} (join (join(ChaCha20ExpandKey Sunscreen_Key Sunscreen_Nonce 1)))) == skref ``` Finally, we XOR the Keystream with the plaintext, yielding the Ciphertext: ```cryptol Ciphertext_Sunscreen = [0x6e, 0x2e, 0x35, 0x9a, 0x25, 0x68, 0xf9, 0x80, 0x41, 0xba, 0x07, 0x28, 0xdd, 0x0d, 0x69, 0x81, 0xe9, 0x7e, 0x7a, 0xec, 0x1d, 0x43, 0x60, 0xc2, 0x0a, 0x27, 0xaf, 0xcc, 0xfd, 0x9f, 0xae, 0x0b, 0xf9, 0x1b, 0x65, 0xc5, 0x52, 0x47, 0x33, 0xab, 0x8f, 0x59, 0x3d, 0xab, 0xcd, 0x62, 0xb3, 0x57, 0x16, 0x39, 0xd6, 0x24, 0xe6, 0x51, 0x52, 0xab, 0x8f, 0x53, 0x0c, 0x35, 0x9f, 0x08, 0x61, 0xd8, 0x07, 0xca, 0x0d, 0xbf, 0x50, 0x0d, 0x6a, 0x61, 0x56, 0xa3, 0x8e, 0x08, 0x8a, 0x22, 0xb6, 0x5e, 0x52, 0xbc, 0x51, 0x4d, 0x16, 0xcc, 0xf8, 0x06, 0x81, 0x8c, 0xe9, 0x1a, 0xb7, 0x79, 0x37, 0x36, 0x5a, 0xf9, 0x0b, 0xbf, 0x74, 0xa3, 0x5b, 0xe6, 0xb4, 0x0b, 0x8e, 0xed, 0xf2, 0x78, 0x5e, 0x42, 0x87, 0x4d] property ChaCha_encrypt_sunscreen_correct = ChaCha20EncryptBytes Plaintext_Sunscreen Sunscreen_Key Sunscreen_Nonce 1 == Ciphertext_Sunscreen property Sunscreen_decrypt_correct = ChaCha20DecryptBytes Ciphertext_Sunscreen Sunscreen_Key Sunscreen_Nonce 1 == Plaintext_Sunscreen ``` # The Poly1305 algorithm Poly1305 is a one-time authenticator designed by D. J. Bernstein. Poly1305 takes a 32-byte one-time key and a message and produces a 16-byte tag. The original article ([poly1305]) is entitled "The Poly1305-AES message-authentication code", and the MAC function there requires a 128-bit AES key, a 128-bit "additional key", and a 128-bit (non- secret) nonce. AES is used there for encrypting the nonce, so as to get a unique (and secret) 128-bit string, but as the paper states, "There is nothing special about AES here. One can replace AES with an arbitrary keyed function from an arbitrary set of nonces to 16- byte strings." Regardless of how the key is generated, the key is partitioned into two parts, called "r" and "s". The pair ``(r,s)`` should be unique, and MUST be unpredictable for each invocation (that is why it was originally obtained by encrypting a nonce), while "r" MAY be constant, but needs to be modified as follows before being used: ("r" is treated as a 16-octet little-endian number): * r[3], r[7], r[11], and r[15] are required to have their top four bits clear (be smaller than 16) ```cryptol Om = 15 // odd masks - for 3, 7, 11 & 15 ``` * r[4], r[8], and r[12] are required to have their bottom two bits clear (be divisible by 4) The following Cryptol code clamps "r" to be appropriate: ```cryptol Em = 252 // even masks - for 4, 8 & 12 nm = 255 // no mask PolyMasks : [16][8] // mask indices PolyMasks = [ nm, nm, nm, Om, // 0-3 Em, nm, nm, Om, // 4-7 Em, nm, nm, Om, // 8-11 Em, nm, nm, Om ] // 12-15 Poly1305_clamp : [16][8] -> [16][8] Poly1305_clamp r = [ re && mask | re <- r | mask <- PolyMasks ] ``` The "s" should be unpredictable, but it is perfectly acceptable to generate both "r" and "s" uniquely each time. Because each of them is 128-bit, pseudo-randomly generating them (see "Generating the Poly1305 key using ChaCha20") is also acceptable. The inputs to Poly1305 are: * A 256-bit one-time key * An arbitrary length message (comprised of `floorBlocks` 16-byte blocks, and `rem` bytes left over) The output is a 128-bit tag. ```cryptol Poly1305 : {m} (fin m) => [256] -> [m][8] -> [16][8] ``` Set the constant prime "P" be 2^130-5. ```cryptol P : [136] P = 2^^130 - 5 ``` First, the "r" value should be clamped. ```cryptol Poly1305 key msg = result where type floorBlocks = m / 16 type rem = m - floorBlocks*16 [ru, su] = split key r : [136] // internal arithmetic on (128+8)-bit numbers r = littleendian ((Poly1305_clamp (split ru)) # [0x00]) s = littleendian ((split su) # [0x00]) ``` Next, divide the message into 16-byte blocks. The last block might be shorter: * Read each block as a little-endian number. * Add one bit beyond the number of octets. For a 16-byte block this is equivalent to adding 2^128 to the number. For the shorter block it can be 2^120, 2^112, or any power of two that is evenly divisible by 8, all the way down to 2^8. ```cryptol // pad all the blocks uniformly (we'll handle the final block later) paddedBlocks = [ 0x01 # (littleendian block) | block <- groupBy`{16}(msg # (zero:[inf][8])) ] ``` * If the block is not 17 bytes long (the last block), then left-pad it with zeros. This is meaningless if you're treating it them as numbers. ```cryptol lastBlock : [136] lastBlock = zero # 0x01 # (littleendian (drop`{16*floorBlocks} msg)) ``` * Add the current block to the accumulator. * Multiply by "r" * Set the accumulator to the result modulo p. To summarize: ``accum[i+1] = ((accum[i]+block)*r) % p``. ```cryptol accum:[_][136] accum = [zero:[136]] # [ computeElt a b r P | a <- accum | b <- paddedBlocks ] // ^ the accumulator starts at zero ``` * If the block division leaves no remainder, the last value of the accumulator is good otherwise compute the special-case padded block, and compute the final value of the accumulator ```cryptol lastAccum : [136] lastAccum = if `rem == 0 then accum@`floorBlocks else computeElt (accum@`floorBlocks) lastBlock r P ``` Finally, the value of the secret key "s" is added to the accumulator, and the 128 least significant bits are serialized in little-endian order to form the tag. ```cryptol result = reverse (groupBy`{8} (drop`{8}(lastAccum + s))) // Compute ((a + b) * r ) % P being pedantic about bit-widths computeElt : [136] -> [136] -> [136] -> [136] -> [136] computeElt a b r p = (drop`{137}bigResult) where bigResult : [273] aPlusB : [137] aPlusB = (0b0#a) + (0b0#b) // make room for carry timesR : [273] timesR = ((zero:[136])#aPlusB) * ((zero:[137])#r) // [a]*[b]=[a+b] bigResult = timesR % ((zero:[137])#p) ``` ### Poly1305 Example and Test Vector For our example, we will dispense with generating the one-time key using AES, and assume that we got the following keying material: * Key Material: 85:d6:be:78:57:55:6d:33:7f:44:52:fe:42:d5:06:a8:01: 03:80:8a:fb:0d:b2:fd:4a:bf:f6:af:41:49:f5:1b ```cryptol Poly1305TestKey = join (parseHexString ( "85:d6:be:78:57:55:6d:33:7f:44:52:fe:42:d5:06:a8:01:" # "03:80:8a:fb:0d:b2:fd:4a:bf:f6:af:41:49:f5:1b." ) ) ``` * s as an octet string: 01:03:80:8a:fb:0d:b2:fd:4a:bf:f6:af:41:49:f5:1b * s as a 128-bit number: 1bf54941aff6bf4afdb20dfb8a800301 ```cryptol Poly1305Test_s = parseHexString "01:03:80:8a:fb:0d:b2:fd:4a:bf:f6:af:41:49:f5:1b."

Since Poly1305 works in 16-byte chunks, the 34-byte message divides into 3 blocks. In the following calculation, "Acc" denotes the accumulator and "Block" the current block: Here we define a Cryptol function that returns all of the intermediate values of the accumulator: ```cryptol // TODO: refactor the Poly function in terms of this AccumBlocks // challenge: doing so while maintaining the clean literate correspondence with the spec AccumBlocks : {m, floorBlocks, rem} (fin m, floorBlocks == m/16, rem == m - floorBlocks*16) => [256] -> [m][8] -> ([_][136], [136]) AccumBlocks key msg = (accum, lastAccum) where [ru, su] = split key r : [136] // internal arithmetic on (128+8)-bit numbers r = littleendian ((Poly1305_clamp (split ru)) # [0x00]) s = littleendian ((split su) # [0x00]) // pad all the blocks uniformly (we'll handle the final block later) paddedBlocks = [ 0x01 # (littleendian block) | block <- groupBy`{16}(msg # (zero:[inf][8])) ] lastBlock : [136] lastBlock = zero # 0x01 # (littleendian (drop`{16*floorBlocks} msg)) accum:[_][136] accum = [zero:[136]] # [ computeElt a b r P | a <- accum | b <- paddedBlocks ] // ^ the accumulator starts at zero lastAccum : [136] lastAccum = if `rem == 0 then accum@`floorBlocks else computeElt (accum@`floorBlocks) lastBlock r P ``` ```example Block #1 Acc = 00 Block = 6f4620636968706172676f7470797243 Block with 0x01 byte = 016f4620636968706172676f7470797243 Acc + block = 016f4620636968706172676f7470797243 (Acc+Block) * r = b83fe991ca66800489155dcd69e8426ba2779453994ac90ed284034da565ecf Acc = ((Acc+Block)*r) % P = 2c88c77849d64ae9147ddeb88e69c83fc Block #2 Acc = 2c88c77849d64ae9147ddeb88e69c83fc Block = 6f7247206863726165736552206d7572 Block with 0x01 byte = 016f7247206863726165736552206d7572 Acc + block = 437febea505c820f2ad5150db0709f96e (Acc+Block) * r = 21dcc992d0c659ba4036f65bb7f88562ae59b32c2b3b8f7efc8b00f78e548a26 Acc = ((Acc+Block)*r) % P = 2d8adaf23b0337fa7cccfb4ea344b30de Last Block Acc = 2d8adaf23b0337fa7cccfb4ea344b30de Block = 7075 Block with 0x01 byte = 017075 Acc + block = 2d8adaf23b0337fa7cccfb4ea344ca153 (Acc + Block) * r = 16d8e08a0f3fe1de4fe4a15486aca7a270a29f1e6c849221e4a6798b8e45321f ((Acc + Block) * r) % P = 28d31b7caff946c77c8844335369d03a7 ``` ```cryptol property polyBlocksOK = (blocks @ 1 == 0x02c88c77849d64ae9147ddeb88e69c83fc) && (blocks @ 2 == 0x02d8adaf23b0337fa7cccfb4ea344b30de) && (lastBlock == 0x028d31b7caff946c77c8844335369d03a7) where (blocks, lastBlock) = AccumBlocks Poly1305TestKey Poly1305TestMessage ``` Adding s we get this number, and serialize if to get the tag: Acc + s = 2a927010caf8b2bc2c6365130c11d06a8 Tag: a8:06:1d:c1:30:51:36:c6:c2:2b:8b:af:0c:01:27:a9 ```cryptol // Putting it all together and testing: Poly1305TestTag = "a8:06:1d:c1:30:51:36:c6:c2:2b:8b:af:0c:01:27:a9." property Poly1305_passes_test = Poly1305 Poly1305TestKey Poly1305TestMessage == parseHexString Poly1305TestTag ``` ## Generating the Poly1305 key using ChaCha20 As said in the "Poly 1305 Algorithm" section, it is acceptable to generate the one-time Poly1305 pseudo-randomly. This section proposes such a method. To generate such a key pair (r,s), we will use the ChaCha20 block function described in Section 2.3. This assumes that we have a 256- bit session key for the MAC function, such as SK_ai and SK_ar in IKEv2 ([RFC5996]), the integrity key in ESP and AH, or the client_write_MAC_key and server_write_MAC_key in TLS. Any document that specifies the use of Poly1305 as a MAC algorithm for some protocol must specify that 256 bits are allocated for the integrity key. Note that in the AEAD construction defined in Section 2.8, the same key is used for encryption and key generation, so the use of SK_a* or *_write_MAC_key is only for stand-alone Poly1305. The method is to call the block function with the following parameters: * The 256-bit session integrity key is used as the ChaCha20 key. * The block counter is set to zero. * The protocol will specify a 96-bit or 64-bit nonce. This MUST be unique per invocation with the same key, so it MUST NOT be randomly generated. A counter is a good way to implement this, but other methods, such as an LFSR are also acceptable. ChaCha20 as specified here requires a 96-bit nonce. So if the provided nonce is only 64-bit, then the first 32 bits of the nonce will be set to a constant number. This will usually be zero, but for protocols with multiple senders it may be different for each sender, but should be the same for all invocations of the function with the same key by a particular sender. After running the block function, we have a 512-bit state. We take the first 256 bits or the serialized state, and use those as the one- time Poly1305 key: The first 128 bits are clamped, and form "r", while the next 128 bits become "s". The other 256 bits are discarded. Note that while many protocols have provisions for a nonce for encryption algorithms (often called Initialization Vectors, or IVs), they usually don't have such a provision for the MAC function. In that case the per-invocation nonce will have to come from somewhere else, such as a message counter. ### Poly1305 Key Generation Test Vector For this example, we'll set: ```cryptol PolyKeyTest = join (parseHexString ( "80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 8a 8b 8c 8d 8e 8f " # "90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 9a 9b 9c 9d 9e 9f " )) PolyNonceTest : [96] PolyNonceTest = join ( parseHexString ("00 00 00 00 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 ")) ``` The ChaCha state set up with key, nonce, and block counter zero: ```cryptol PolyBuildState_testVector = [ 0x61707865, 0x3320646e, 0x79622d32, 0x6b206574, 0x83828180, 0x87868584, 0x8b8a8988, 0x8f8e8d8c, 0x93929190, 0x97969594, 0x9b9a9998, 0x9f9e9d9c, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x03020100, 0x07060504 ] property PolyBuildState_correct = BuildState PolyKeyTest PolyNonceTest 0 == PolyBuildState_testVector ``` The ChaCha state after 20 rounds: ```cryptol PolyChaChaState_testVector = [ 0x8ba0d58a, 0xcc815f90, 0x27405081, 0x7194b24a, 0x37b633a8, 0xa50dfde3, 0xe2b8db08, 0x46a6d1fd, 0x7da03782, 0x9183a233, 0x148ad271, 0xb46773d1, 0x3cc1875a, 0x8607def1, 0xca5c3086, 0x7085eb87 ] property PolyChaCha_correct = ChaCha20Block PolyKeyTest PolyNonceTest 0 == PolyChaChaState_testVector ``` And that output is also the 32-byte one-time key used for Poly1305. ```cryptol PolyOutput = join (parseHexString ( "8a d5 a0 8b 90 5f 81 cc 81 50 40 27 4a b2 94 71 " # "a8 33 b6 37 e3 fd 0d a5 08 db b8 e2 fd d1 a6 46 ")) GeneratePolyKeyUsingChaCha k n i = join [littleendian (groupBy`{8}b) | b <- take `{8}(ChaCha20Block k n i) ] property Poly_passes_test = GeneratePolyKeyUsingChaCha PolyKeyTest PolyNonceTest 0 == PolyOutput ``` ## A Pseudo-Random Function for ChaCha/Poly-1305 based Crypto Suites Some protocols such as IKEv2([RFC5996]) require a Pseudo-Random Function (PRF), mostly for key derivation. In the IKEv2 definition, a PRF is a function that accepts a variable-length key and a variable-length input, and returns a fixed-length output. This section does not specify such a function. Poly-1305 is an obvious choice, because MAC functions are often used as PRFs. However, Poly-1305 prohibits using the same key twice, whereas the PRF in IKEv2 is used multiple times with the same key. Adding a nonce or a counter to Poly-1305 can solve this issue, much as we do when using this function as a MAC, but that would require changing the interface for the PRF function. Chacha20 could be used as a key-derivation function, by generating an arbitrarily long keystream. However, that is not what protocols such as IKEv2 require. For this reason, this document does not specify a PRF, and recommends that crypto suites use some other PRF such as PRF_HMAC_SHA2_256 (section 2.1.2 of [RFC4868]) ## AEAD Construction AEAD_CHACHA20-POLY1305 is an authenticated encryption with additional data algorithm. The inputs to AEAD_CHACHA20-POLY1305 are: * A 256-bit key * A 96-bit nonce - different for each invocation with the same key. * An arbitrary length plaintext (fewer than 2^64 bytes) * Arbitrary length additional data (AAD) (fewer than 2^64 bytes) ```cryptol AEAD_CHACHA20_POLY1305 : {m, n} (fin m, 64 >= width m ,fin n, 64 >= width n ) => [256] -> [96] -> [m][8] -> [n][8] -> [m+16][8] AEAD_CHACHA20_POLY1305 k nonce p aad = (ct # tag) where ``` Some protocols may have unique per-invocation inputs that are not 96- bit in length. For example, IPsec may specify a 64-bit nonce. In such a case, it is up to the protocol document to define how to transform the protocol nonce into a 96-bit nonce, for example by concatenating a constant value. The ChaCha20 and Poly1305 primitives are combined into an AEAD that takes a 256-bit key and 96-bit nonce as follows: * First, a Poly1305 one-time key is generated from the 256-bit key and nonce using the procedure described in "Generating the Poly1305 key using ChaCha20". ```cryptol PolyKey = GeneratePolyKeyUsingChaCha k nonce 0 ``` * Next, the ChaCha20 encryption function is called to encrypt the plaintext, using the input key and nonce, and with the initial counter set to 1. ```cryptol ct = ChaCha20EncryptBytes p k nonce 1 ``` * Finally, the Poly1305 function is called with the Poly1305 key calculated above, and a message constructed as a concatenation of the following: * The AAD * padding1 - the padding is up to 15 zero bytes, and it brings the total length so far to an integral multiple of 16. If the length of the AAD was already an integral multiple of 16 bytes, this field is zero-length. * The ciphertext * padding2 - the padding is up to 15 zero bytes, and it brings the total length so far to an integral multiple of 16. If the length of the ciphertext was already an integral multiple of 16 bytes, this field is zero-length. * The length of the additional data in octets (as a 64-bit little-endian integer). * The length of the ciphertext in octets (as a 64-bit little- endian integer). ```cryptol ptlen : [8][8] ptlen = groupBy`{8}(littleendian (groupBy`{8}(`m:[64]))) adlen : [8][8] adlen = groupBy`{8}(littleendian (groupBy`{8}(`n:[64]))) // compute padding tag = Poly1305 PolyKey (AeadConstruction aad ct) //ct in this function has tag removed AeadConstruction (AAD : [n][8]) (CT : [m][8]) = (AAD # padding1 # CT # padding2 # adlen # ptlen) where padding1 = (zero:[(16-n%16)%16][8]) padding2 = (zero:[(16-m%16)%16][8]) adlen : [8][8] adlen = groupBy`{8}(littleendian (groupBy`{8}(`n:[64]))) ptlen : [8][8] ptlen = groupBy`{8}(littleendian (groupBy`{8}(`m:[64]))) ``` The output from the AEAD is twofold: * A ciphertext of the same length as the plaintext. * A 128-bit tag, which is the output of the Poly1305 function. Decryption is pretty much the same thing. ```cryptol AEAD_CHACHA20_POLY1305_DECRYPT : {m, n} (fin m, fin n ,64 >= width m, 64 >= width n) => [256] -> [96] -> [m+16][8] -> [n][8] -> ([m][8], Bit) AEAD_CHACHA20_POLY1305_DECRYPT k nonce ct ad = (pt, valid) where inTag = drop`{m}ct inCt = take`{m}ct PolyKey = GeneratePolyKeyUsingChaCha k nonce 0 pt = ChaCha20DecryptBytes inCt k nonce 1 ptlen : [8][8] ptlen = groupBy`{8}(littleendian (groupBy`{8}(`m:[64]))) adlen : [8][8] adlen = groupBy`{8}(littleendian (groupBy`{8}(`n:[64]))) tag = Poly1305 PolyKey (AeadConstruction ad inCt) valid = tag == inTag ``` A few notes about this design: 1. The amount of encrypted data possible in a single invocation is 2^32-1 blocks of 64 bytes each, because of the size of the block counter field in the ChaCha20 block function. This gives a total of 247,877,906,880 bytes, or nearly 256 GB. This should be enough for traffic protocols such as IPsec and TLS, but may be too small for file and/or disk encryption. For such uses, we can return to the original design, reduce the nonce to 64 bits, and use the integer at position 13 as the top 32 bits of a 64-bit block counter, increasing the total message size to over a million petabytes (1,180,591,620,717,411,303,360 bytes to be exact). 1. Despite the previous item, the ciphertext length field in the construction of the buffer on which Poly1305 runs limits the ciphertext (and hence, the plaintext) size to 2^64 bytes, or sixteen thousand petabytes (18,446,744,073,709,551,616 bytes to be exact). ### Example and Test Vector for AEAD_CHACHA20-POLY1305 For a test vector, we will use the following inputs to the AEAD_CHACHA20-POLY1305 function: Plaintext: ```cryptol AeadPt = "Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of '99: " # "If I could offer you only one tip for " # "the future, sunscreen would be it."

Section 2.3 describes the ChaCha block function as "adding the original input words". This implies that before starting the rounds on the ChaCha state, we copy it aside, only to add it in later. This is correct, but we can save a few operations if we instead copy the state and do the work on the copy. This way, for the next block you don't need to recreate the state, but only to increment the block counter. This saves approximately 5.5% of the cycles. It is not recommended to use a generic big number library such as the one in OpenSSL for the arithmetic operations in Poly1305. Such libraries use dynamic allocation to be able to handle any-sized integer, but that flexibility comes at the expense of performance as well as side-channel security. More efficient implementations that run in constant time are available, one of them in DJB's own library, NaCl ([NaCl]). A constant-time but not optimal approach would be to naively implement the arithmetic operations for a 288-bit integers, because even a naive implementation will not exceed 2^288 in the multiplication of (acc+block) and r. An efficient constant-time implementation can be found in the public domain library poly1305- donna ([poly1305_donna]). # Security Considerations The ChaCha20 cipher is designed to provide 256-bit security. The Poly1305 authenticator is designed to ensure that forged messages are rejected with a probability of 1-(n/(2^102)) for a 16n-byte message, even after sending 2^64 legitimate messages, so it is SUF- CMA in the terminology of [AE]. Proving the security of either of these is beyond the scope of this document. Such proofs are available in the referenced academic papers. The most important security consideration in implementing this draft is the uniqueness of the nonce used in ChaCha20. Counters and LFSRs are both acceptable ways of generating unique nonces, as is encrypting a counter using a 64-bit cipher such as DES. Note that it is not acceptable to use a truncation of a counter encrypted with a 128-bit or 256-bit cipher, because such a truncation may repeat after a short time. The Poly1305 key MUST be unpredictable to an attacker. Randomly generating the key would fulfill this requirement, except that Poly1305 is often used in communications protocols, so the receiver should know the key. Pseudo-random number generation such as by encrypting a counter is acceptable. Using ChaCha with a secret key and a nonce is also acceptable. The algorithms presented here were designed to be easy to implement in constant time to avoid side-channel vulnerabilities. The operations used in ChaCha20 are all additions, XORs, and fixed rotations. All of these can and should be implemented in constant time. Access to offsets into the ChaCha state and the number of operations do not depend on any property of the key, eliminating the chance of information about the key leaking through the timing of cache misses. For Poly1305, the operations are addition, multiplication and modulus, all on >128-bit numbers. This can be done in constant time, but a naive implementation (such as using some generic big number library) will not be constant time. For example, if the multiplication is performed as a separate operation from the modulus, the result will some times be under 2^256 and some times be above 2^256. Implementers should be careful about timing side-channels for Poly1305 by using the appropriate implementation of these operations. # IANA Considerations There are no IANA considerations for this document. # Acknowledgements ChaCha20 and Poly1305 were invented by Daniel J.

construction all work with the provided test vectors.
