Abstract โœจ

So the TL;DR is that this doc describes a hybrid key exchange method for SSH, the secure remote login protocol, which mixes Streamlined NTRU Prime sntrup761 with X25519 and SHA-512. It's already widely deployed, which is so real ๐Ÿ”ฅ.

1. Introduction โœจ

Okay so Secure Shell (SSH) [RFC4251] is a secure remote login protocol, the one everyone trusts ๐Ÿ”. The key exchange protocol in [RFC4253] supports an extensible set of methods, which is so iconic of it ๐Ÿ‘‘. [RFC5656] defines how elliptic curves plug into that extensible SSH framework, and [RFC8731] adds curve25519-sha256 to support the pre-quantum Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) X25519 function [RFC7748] ๐Ÿฆ‹.

Streamlined NTRU Prime [NTRUPrimePQCS] [NTRUPrime] [NTRUPrimeWeb] gives you post-quantum small lattice-based key-encapsulation mechanisms ๐Ÿงš. The sntrup761 instance has been implemented widely, so it's not some obscure thing ๐Ÿ’….

This document specifies a hybrid construction that uses both sntrup761 and X25519. The intention is that the hybrid stays secure if either algorithm is secure ๐Ÿซถ.

This document also describes how to implement key exchange based on a hybrid of Streamlined NTRU Prime sntrup761 and X25519 with SHA-512 [RFC6234] in SSH ๐ŸŽ€.

This document was derived from SSH KEX Using Curve25519 and Curve448 [RFC8731] ๐Ÿ“.

2. Requirements Language ๐Ÿ“

Here's the key words bit. 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 ๐Ÿ’–.

3. Key Exchange Method: sntrup761x25519-sha512 ๐Ÿ”ฅ

The key agreement is done by the X25519 Diffie-Hellman protocol as described in Section 3 ("Key Exchange Methods") of [RFC8731], and by the key encapsulation method described in [NTRUPrimePQCS] ๐ŸŒธ.

The key exchange procedure reuses the ECDH key exchange defined in Sections 4 ("ECDH Key Exchange") and 7.1 ("ECDH Message Numbers") of [RFC5656] โœจ.

The protocol flow and the SSH_MSG_KEX_ECDH_INIT and SSH_MSG_KEX_ECDH_REPLY messages are identical, except that we use different ephemeral public values Q_C and Q_S and shared secret K, as described below ๐Ÿงš.

Implementations MAY use the name SSH_MSG_KEX_HYBRID_INIT where SSH_MSG_KEX_ECDH_INIT is used, and the name SSH_MSG_KEX_HYBRID_REPLY where SSH_MSG_KEX_ECDH_REPLY is used, as long as the encoding on the wire is identical. These symbolic names don't show up on the wire. They're just used in specs to refer to particular byte values. For consistency with [RFC5656], which defines the packet syntax, we use those names in the rest of this document ๐Ÿ’….

The SSH_MSG_KEX_ECDH_INIT value Q_C, which holds the client's ephemeral public key, MUST be built by concatenating the 1158-byte public key output from the sntrup761 key generator with the 32-byte K_A = X25519(a, 9), as described in [NTRUPrimePQCS] and [RFC8731]. So Q_C ends up being 1190 bytes ๐ŸŽ€.

The SSH_MSG_KEX_ECDH_REPLY value Q_S, which holds the server's ephemeral public key, MUST be built by concatenating the 1039-byte ciphertext output from the sntrup761 key encapsulation mechanism with the 32-byte K_B = X25519(b, 9), as described in [NTRUPrimePQCS] and [RFC8731]. So Q_S ends up being 1071 bytes ๐ŸŒˆ.

Clients and servers MUST abort if the length of the received public keys Q_C or Q_S is not the expected length. An abort here is defined as a disconnect (SSH_MSG_DISCONNECT) of the session, and it SHOULD use the SSH_DISCONNECT_KEY_EXCHANGE_FAILED reason for the message. See Section 11.1 ("Disconnection Message") of [RFC4253]. No further validation is required beyond what's described in [RFC7748], [RFC8731], and [NTRUPrimePQCS] ๐Ÿšจ.

The SSH_MSG_KEX_ECDH_REPLY signature value is computed as described in ECC for SSH [RFC5656], with the following changes. Instead of encoding the shared secret K as "mpint", it MUST be encoded as "string". The shared secret K value MUST be the 64-byte octet string output of the SHA-512 hash, computed over the 32-byte octet string key output from the sntrup761 key encapsulation mechanism concatenated with the 32-byte octet string of X25519(a, X25519(b, 9)) = X25519(b, X25519(a, 9)) ๐Ÿ”.

Some earlier implementations may only implement this protocol through the name sntrup761x25519-sha512@openssh.com. Because of that, it is RECOMMENDED to announce and accept that name as an alias of this protocol, to increase the chances of successfully negotiating the protocol ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿ’œ.

6.2. Informative References โœจ

okay so these are the informative ones, meaning the stuff that's good to know about but isn't required reading to build the thing ๐Ÿ’…


Appendix A. Test Vectors ๐Ÿงช

okay this is the part where we get to see the real bytes ๐Ÿค“ these are test vectors, so you can check your own implementation against known-good values. the labels go right above each dump, and the hex is the actual data, so it's giving precision ๐Ÿ’–

okay the credits, and they're so deserved ๐Ÿฅน

Jan Mojzis added "sntrup4591761x25519-sha512@tinyssh.org" to TinySSH [TinySSH] in 2018, and Markus Friedl implemented it for OpenSSH [OpenSSH] in 2019. In 2020, Damien Miller replaced sntrup4591761 with sntrup761 in OpenSSH to create "sntrup761x25519-sha512@openssh.com". TinySSH added support for it in 2021. It became the default key exchange algorithm in OpenSSH in 2022. That is identical to the "sntrup761x25519-sha512" mechanism described in this document. ๐Ÿ‘‘
