Deterministic Usage of the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) and

Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA)

Abstract

This document defines a deterministic digital signature generation

procedure. Such signatures are compatible with standard Digital
Signature Algorithm (DSA) and Elliptic Curve Digital Signature
Algorithm (ECDSA) digital signatures and can be processed with
unmodified verifiers, which need not be aware of the procedure
described therein. Deterministic signatures retain the cryptographic
security features associated with digital signatures but can be more
easily implemented in various environments, since they do not need
access to a source of high-quality randomness.

1. Introduction

DSA [FIPS-186-4] and ECDSA [X9.62] are two standard digital signature
schemes. They provide data integrity and verifiable authenticity in
various protocols.

One characteristic of DSA and ECDSA is that they need to produce, for
each signature generation, a fresh random value (hereafter designated
as k). For effective security, k must be chosen randomly and
uniformly from a set of modular integers, using a cryptographically
secure process. Even slight biases in that process may be turned
into attacks on the signature schemes.

The need for a cryptographically secure source of randomness proves

to be a hindrance to deployment of DSA and ECDSA signature schemes in
some architectures in which secure random number generation is
challenging, in particular, embedded systems such as smartcards. In
those systems, the RSA signature algorithm, used as specified in
Public-Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS) #1 [RFC3447] (with "type 1"
padding, not the Probabilistic Signature Scheme (PSS)) and ISO 9796-2
[ISO-9796-2], is often preferred, even though it is computationally
more expensive, because RSA (with such padding schemes) is
deterministic and thus does not require a source of randomness.

The randomized nature of DSA and ECDSA also makes implementations

harder to test. Automatic tests cannot reliably detect whether the
implementation uses a source of randomness of high enough quality.
This makes the implementation process more vulnerable to catastrophic
failures, often discovered after the system has been deployed and
successfully attacked.

It is possible to turn DSA and ECDSA into deterministic schemes by

using a deterministic process for generating the "random" value k.
That process must fulfill some cryptographic characteristics in order
to maintain the properties of verifiability and unforgeability
expected from signature schemes; namely, for whoever does not know
the signature private key, the mapping from input messages to the
corresponding k values must be computationally indistinguishable from
what a randomly and uniformly chosen function (from the set of
messages to the set of possible k values) would return.

Pornin Informational [Page 3]

RFC 6979 Deterministic DSA and ECDSA August 2013

This document describes such a procedure. It has the following

features:

o Produced signatures remain fully compatible with plain DSA and

ECDSA. Entities that verify the signatures need not be changed or
even be aware of the process used to generate k.

o Key pair generation is not altered. Existing private keys can be

used with deterministic DSA and ECDSA.

o Using deterministic DSA and ECDSA implies no extra storage

requirement of any secret or public value.

o Deterministic DSA and ECDSA can be applied over the same inputs as
plain DSA and ECDSA, namely a hash value computed over the message
that is to be signed, with a cryptographically secure hash
function.

Some relatively arbitrary choices were taken in the definition of

deterministic (EC)DSA as specified in this document; this was done in
order to make it as universally applicable as possible, so as to
maximize usefulness of included test vectors. See Section 3.6 for a
discussion of some possible variants.

It shall be noted that key pair generation still requires a source of

randomness. In embedded systems where quality of randomness is an
issue, it can often be arranged that key pair generation occurs
within more controlled conditions (e.g., during a special smartcard
initialization procedure or under physical control of sworn agents)
or the key might even be generated elsewhere and imported in the
device. Deterministic DSA and ECDSA only deal with the need for
randomness at the time of signature generation.

1.1. Requirements Language

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 RFC 2119 [RFC2119].

2. DSA and ECDSA Notations

In this section, we succinctly describe DSA and ECDSA and define our
notations. The complete specifications for DSA and ECDSA can be
found in [FIPS-186-4] and [X9.62], respectively.

Pornin Informational [Page 4]

RFC 6979 Deterministic DSA and ECDSA August 2013

2.1. Key Parameters

DSA and ECDSA work over a large group of prime size, in which the
group operation is easy to compute, but the discrete logarithm is
computationally infeasible with existing and foreseeable technology.
The definition of the group is called the "key parameters". Key
parameters may be shared between different key pairs with no ill
effect on security; this is the usual case with ECDSA in particular.

DSA uses the following key parameters:

p a large prime number (at least 1024 bits)

q a sufficiently large prime number (at least 160 bits) that is

also a divisor of p-1

g a generator for the multiplicative subgroup of order q of

integers modulo p

The group on which DSA will be computed consists of the values

’g^j mod p’, where ’^’ denotes exponentiation and j ranges from 0 to
q-1 (inclusive). The size of the group is q.

ECDSA uses the following key parameters:

E an elliptic curve, defined over a given finite field

q a sufficiently large prime number (at least 160 bits) that is a

divisor of the curve order

G a point of E, of order q

The group on which ECDSA will be computed consists of the curve

points jG (multiplication of point G by integer j) where j ranges
from 0 to q-1. G is such that qG = 0 (the "point at infinity" on the
curve E). The size of the group is q. Note that these notations
slightly differ from those described in [X9.62]; we use them in order
to match those used for DSA.

2.2. Key Pairs

A DSA or ECDSA private key is an integer x taken modulo q. The

relevant standards prescribe that x shall not be 0; hence, x is an
integer in the range [1, q-1].

Pornin Informational [Page 5]

RFC 6979 Deterministic DSA and ECDSA August 2013

A DSA or ECDSA public key is computed from the private key x and the
key parameters:

o For DSA, the public key is the integer: y = g^x mod p

o For ECDSA, the public key is the curve point: U = xG

2.3. Integer Conversions

Let qlen be the binary length of q. qlen is the smallest integer

such that q is less than 2^qlen. This is the size of the binary
representation of q without a sign bit (note that q, being a big
prime, is odd, thus avoiding any ambiguity about the length of any
integer equal to a power of 2). We define five conversion functions,
which work on strings of bits, octets, and integers modulo q. qlen
is the main parameter for these conversions.

In the following subsections, we use two other lengths, called blen

and rlen. rlen is equal to qlen, rounded up to the next multiple of
8 (if qlen is already a multiple of 8, then rlen equals qlen;
otherwise, rlen is slightly larger, up to qlen+7). Note that rlen is
unrelated to the value r, the first half of a generated signature.
blen is the length (in bits) of an input sequence of bits and may
vary between calls. blen may be smaller than, equal to, or larger
than qlen.

2.3.1. Bits and Octets

Formally, all operations are defined on sequences of bits. A

sequence is ordered; the first bit is said to be leftmost, while the
last bit is rightmost.

On most software systems, bits are grouped into octets (sequences of

eight bits). Binary data, e.g., the output of a hash function, is
available as a sequence of octets. Whenever applicable, we consider
that bits within an octet are ordered from most significant to least
significant: the first (leftmost) bit within an octet has numerical
value 128, while the last (rightmost) has numerical value 1.

2.3.2. Bit String to Integer

The bits2int transform takes as input a sequence of blen bits and

outputs a non-negative integer that is less than 2^qlen. It consists
of the following steps:

Pornin Informational [Page 6]

RFC 6979 Deterministic DSA and ECDSA August 2013

1. The sequence is first truncated or expanded to length qlen:

* if qlen < blen, then the qlen leftmost bits are kept, and
subsequent bits are discarded;

* otherwise, qlen-blen bits (of value zero) are added to the

left of the sequence (i.e., before the input bits in the
sequence order).

2. The resulting sequence is then converted to an integer value

using the big-endian convention: if input bits are called b_0
(leftmost) to b_(qlen-1) (rightmost), then the resulting value
is:

b_0*2^(qlen-1) + b_1*2^(qlen-2) + ... + b_(qlen-1)*2^0

The bits2int transform can also be described in the following way:

the input bit sequence (of length blen) is transformed into an
integer using the big-endian convention. Then, if blen is greater
than qlen, the resulting integer is divided by two to the power
blen-qlen (Euclidian division: the remainder is discarded); in many
software implementations of arithmetics on big integers, that
division is equivalent to a "right shift" by blen-qlen bits.

2.3.3. Integer to Octet String

An integer value x less than q (and, in particular, a value that has

been taken modulo q) can be converted into a sequence of rlen bits,
where rlen = 8*ceil(qlen/8). This is the sequence of bits obtained
by big-endian encoding. In other words, the sequence bits x_i (for i
ranging from 0 to rlen-1) are such that:

x = x_0*2^(rlen-1) + x_1*2^(rlen-2) + ... + x_(rlen-1)

We call this transform int2octets. Since rlen is a multiple of 8

(the smallest multiple of 8 that is not smaller than qlen), then the
resulting sequence of bits is also a sequence of octets, hence the
name.

2.3.4. Bit String to Octet String

The bits2octets transform takes as input a sequence of blen bits and

outputs a sequence of rlen bits. It consists of the following steps:

1. The input sequence b is converted into an integer value z1

through the bits2int transform:

z1 = bits2int(b)

Pornin Informational [Page 7]

RFC 6979 Deterministic DSA and ECDSA August 2013

2. z1 is reduced modulo q, yielding z2 (an integer between 0 and

q-1, inclusive):

z2 = z1 mod q

Note that since z1 is less than 2^qlen, that modular reduction

can be implemented with a simple conditional subtraction:
z2 = z1-q if that value is non-negative; otherwise, z2 = z1.

3. z2 is transformed into a sequence of octets (a sequence of rlen

bits) by applying int2octets.

2.3.5. Usage

It is worth noting that int2octets is not the reverse of bits2int,

even for input sequences of length qlen: int2octets will add some
bits on the left, while bits2int will discard some bits on the right.
int2octets is the reverse of bits2int only when qlen is a multiple of
8 and bit sequences already have length qlen.

bits2int is used during signature generation and verification in

standard DSA and ECDSA to transform a hash value (computed over the
input message) into an integer modulo q. That is, the integer
obtained through bits2int is further reduced modulo q; since that
integer is less than 2^qlen, that reduction can be performed with at
most one subtraction.

int2octets is defined under the name "Integer-to-OctetString" in

Section 2.3.7 of SEC 1 [SEC1]. It is used in the specification of
the encoding of an ECDSA private key (x) within an ASN.1-based
structure.

bits2octets is not used in standard DSA or ECDSA. We will use it in

the specification of deterministic (EC)DSA.

2.4. Signature Generation

Signature generation uses a cryptographic hash function H and an

input message m. The message is first processed by H, yielding the
value H(m), which is a sequence of bits of length hlen. Normally, H
is chosen such that its output length hlen is roughly equal to qlen,
since the overall security of the signature scheme will depend on the
smallest of hlen and qlen; however, the relevant standards support
all combinations of hlen and qlen.

Pornin Informational [Page 8]

RFC 6979 Deterministic DSA and ECDSA August 2013

The following steps are then applied:

1. H(m) is transformed into an integer modulo q using the bits2int

transform and an extra modular reduction:

h = bits2int(H(m)) mod q

As was noted in the description of bits2octets, the extra modular

reduction is no more than a conditional subtraction.

2. A random value modulo q, dubbed k, is generated. That value

shall not be 0; hence, it lies in the [1, q-1] range. Most of
the remainder of this document will revolve around the process
used to generate k. In plain DSA or ECDSA, k should be selected
through a random selection that chooses a value among the q-1
possible values with uniform probability.

3. A value r (modulo q) is computed from k and the key parameters:

* For DSA:

r = g^k mod p mod q

(The exponentiation is performed modulo p, yielding a number

between 0 and p-1, which is then further reduced modulo q.)

* For ECDSA: the point kG is computed; its X coordinate (a

member of the field over which E is defined) is converted to
an integer, which is reduced modulo q, yielding r.

If r turns out to be zero, a new k should be selected and r

computed again (this is an utterly improbable occurrence).

4. The value s (modulo q) is computed:

s = (h+x*r)/k mod q

The pair (r, s) is the signature. How a signature is to be

encoded is not covered by the DSA and ECDSA standards themselves;
a common way is to use a DER-encoded ASN.1 structure (a SEQUENCE
of two INTEGERs, for r and s, in that order).

Pornin Informational [Page 9]

RFC 6979 Deterministic DSA and ECDSA August 2013

3. Deterministic DSA and ECDSA

Deterministic (EC)DSA is the process of generating an (EC)DSA

signature over an input message m by using the standard (EC)DSA
signature generation process (discussed in the previous section),
except that the value k, instead of being randomly generated, is
obtained through the process described in this section.

We use the notations described in Section 2.

3.1. Building Blocks

3.1.1. HMAC

HMAC [RFC2104] is a construction of a Message Authentication Code

using a hash function and a secret key. Here, we use HMAC with the
same hash function H as the one used to process the input message
prior to signature generation or verification.

We denote the process of applying HMAC with key K over data V by:

HMAC_K(V)

which returns a sequence of bits of length hlen (the output length of

the underlying hash function H).

3.2. Generation of k

Given the input message m, the following process is applied:

a. Process m through the hash function H, yielding:

h1 = H(m)

(h1 is a sequence of hlen bits).

b. Set:

V = 0x01 0x01 0x01 ... 0x01

such that the length of V, in bits, is equal to 8*ceil(hlen/8).

For instance, on an octet-based system, if H is SHA-256, then V
is set to a sequence of 32 octets of value 1. Note that in this
step and all subsequent steps, we use the same H function as the
one used in step ’a’ to process the input message; this choice
will be discussed in more detail in Section 3.6.

Pornin Informational [Page 10]

RFC 6979 Deterministic DSA and ECDSA August 2013

c. Set:

K = 0x00 0x00 0x00 ... 0x00

such that the length of K, in bits, is equal to 8*ceil(hlen/8).

d. Set:

K = HMAC_K(V || 0x00 || int2octets(x) || bits2octets(h1))

where ’||’ denotes concatenation. In other words, we compute

HMAC with key K, over the concatenation of the following, in
order: the current value of V, a sequence of eight bits of value
0, the encoding of the (EC)DSA private key x, and the hashed
message (possibly truncated and extended as specified by the
bits2octets transform). The HMAC result is the new value of K.
Note that the private key x is in the [1, q-1] range, hence a
proper input for int2octets, yielding rlen bits of output, i.e.,
an integral number of octets (rlen is a multiple of 8).

e. Set:

V = HMAC_K(V)

f. Set:

K = HMAC_K(V || 0x01 || int2octets(x) || bits2octets(h1))

Note that the "internal octet" is 0x01 this time.

g. Set:

V = HMAC_K(V)

h. Apply the following algorithm until a proper value is found for

k:

1. Set T to the empty sequence. The length of T (in bits) is

denoted tlen; thus, at that point, tlen = 0.

2. While tlen < qlen, do the following:

V = HMAC_K(V)

T = T || V

Pornin Informational [Page 11]

RFC 6979 Deterministic DSA and ECDSA August 2013

3. Compute:

k = bits2int(T)

If that value of k is within the [1,q-1] range, and is

suitable for DSA or ECDSA (i.e., it results in an r value
that is not 0; see Section 3.4), then the generation of k is
finished. The obtained value of k is used in DSA or ECDSA.
Otherwise, compute:

K = HMAC_K(V || 0x00)

V = HMAC_K(V)

and loop (try to generate a new T, and so on).

Please note that when k is generated from T, the result of bits2int

is compared to q, not reduced modulo q. If the value is not between
1 and q-1, the process loops. Performing a simple modular reduction
would induce biases that would be detrimental to signature security.

3.3. Alternate Description of the Generation of k

The process described in the previous section is actually derived

from the "HMAC_DRBG" pseudorandom number generator, described in
[SP800-90A] and Annex D of [X9.62]. Using the terminology from
[SP800-90A], the generation of k can be described as such:

a. Instantiate HMAC_DRBG using HMAC parameterized with the same hash

function H as the one used for processing the message that is to
be signed. Instantiation parameters are:

requested_instantiation_security_strength
Set this parameter to any value that the HMAC_DRBG
implementation will accept, when using H as base hash
function.

prediction_resistance_flag
Set this parameter to "false".

personalization_string
Set this parameter to "Null" (the empty bit sequence).

entropy_input
Use int2octets(x) as entropy string.

nonce
Use bits2octets(H(m)) as nonce.

Pornin Informational [Page 12]

RFC 6979 Deterministic DSA and ECDSA August 2013

Note that the last two parameters are not parameters to the
HMAC_DRBG instantiation function per se; instead, those values
are requested from the internal Get_entropy_input function during
instantiation. For deterministic (EC)DSA, we want HMAC_DRBG to
run with the entropy string and nonce that we specify, without
accessing an actual entropy source.

b. Generate a candidate value for k by requesting qlen bits from

HMAC_DRBG and converting the resulting bits into an integer with
the bits2int transform. Repeat this step until a value is
obtained, which is non-zero, less than q, and suitable for
(EC)DSA (see Section 3.4).

Note that we instantiate a new HMAC_DRBG instance for each signature

generation process. There is no "personalization string" and no
"additional input" when generating bits. The reseed function of
HMAC_DRBG is never invoked, neither externally nor as a consequence
of the internal HMAC_DRBG processing.

As shown above, we use the encoding of the private key as "entropy

string" and the hashed message (truncated and expanded by
bits2octets) as "nonce". In HMAC_DRBG, the entropy string and nonce
are simply concatenated into the initial seed; hence, the split
between "entropy" and "nonce" is quite arbitrary. Using qlen bits
for each ought to be compatible with most HMAC_DRBG implementation
input requirements.

3.4. Usage Notes

With DSA or ECDSA, the value k is used to compute the first half of
the signature, dubbed r (see Section 2.4). The DSA and ECDSA
standards mandate that, if r is zero, then a new k should be
selected. In that situation, this document specifies that the value
k is "unsuitable", and the generation process shall keep on looping.

This occurrence is utterly improbable. Actually, it would require

considerable computational effort (similar to breaking preimage
resistance of the hash function) to find a private key and a message
that lead to a zero value for r; hitting such a case by pure chance
is thus deemed implausible, and an attacker cannot force it with
carefully crafted messages. In practice, such a code path will not
be triggered and thus can be implemented with little optimization.

3.5. Rationale

The process described in the previous sections mimics the "Approved"

generation process of k described in Annex D of [X9.62], with the
"HMAC_DRBG" pseudorandom number generator. The main difference is

Pornin Informational [Page 13]

RFC 6979 Deterministic DSA and ECDSA August 2013

that we use the concatenation of the private key x and the hashed
message H(m) as the pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) seed. If
using a "security level" of n bits, then HMAC_DRBG should be used
with seed entropy at least n+64 bits; however, the key x should also
have been generated with that much entropy, and the length of x is
qlen, which is at least equal to 2*n and thus larger than n+64 (DSA
and ECDSA, as specified by the standards, require qlen >= 160). It
can then be argued that deterministic ECDSA fulfills the entropy
requirements of Annex D of [X9.62].

We use bits2octets(H(m)) instead of H(m) in order to ease

integration. Indeed, many existing signature systems offload the
message hashing; the signature engine (which has access to the
private key) receives only H(m). In some applications, where data
bandwidth is constrained, only the first qlen bits of H(m) are
transferred to the signature engine, on the basis that the bits2int
transform will ignore subsequent bits anyway. Possibly, in some
systems, the truncated H(m) could be externally reduced modulo q,
since that is the first thing that (EC)DSA performs on the hashed
message. With the definition of bits2octets, deterministic (EC)DSA
can be applied with the same input.

3.6. Variants

Many parts of the specification of deterministic (EC)DSA are quite

arbitrary. It is possible to define variants that are NOT
"deterministic (EC)DSA" but that may nonetheless be useful in some
contexts:

o It is possible to use H(m) directly, instead of bits2octets(H(m)),

as part of the HMAC input. As explained in Section 3.5, we use
bits2octets(H(m)) in order to ease integration into systems that
already use an (EC)DSA signature engine by sending it an already-
truncated hash value. Using the whole H(m) does not introduce any
vulnerability.

o Additional data may be added to the input of HMAC, concatenated

after bits2octets(H(m)):

K = HMAC_K(V || 0x00 || int2octets(x) || bits2octets(h1) || k’)

A use case may be a protocol that requires a non-deterministic

signature algorithm on a system that does not have access to a
high-quality random source. It suffices that the additional data
k’ is non-repeating (e.g., a signature counter or a monotonic
clock) to ensure "random-looking" signatures are
indistinguishable, in a cryptographic way, from plain (EC)DSA
signatures. In [SP800-90A] terminology, k’ is the "additional

Pornin Informational [Page 14]

RFC 6979 Deterministic DSA and ECDSA August 2013

input" that can be set as a parameter when generating pseudorandom

bits. This variant can be thought of as a "strengthening" of the
randomness of the source of the additional data k’.

o Instead of using x (the private key) as input to HMAC, it is

possible to use additional secret data, stored along with the
private key with the same security measures. The entropy of that
additional data SHALL be at least n bits, preferably n+64 bits or
more, where n is the target security level. Having additional
secret data may help in formally proving the security of
derandomization, but it implies an extra storage cost and
incompatibility with already-generated (EC)DSA private keys.

o Similarly, the private key could be a value z, from which both x

(the "private key" in the plain (EC)DSA sense) and another value
x’, to be used as input to HMAC in the generation of k, would be
derived through a suitable Pseudorandom Function (PRF) (such as
HMAC_DRBG). This would keep private key storage requirements to a
minimum while providing a more easily proven security, but it
would impact private key generation and would not be compatible
with already-generated key pairs.

o In this document, we use the same hash function H for processing

the input message and as a parameter to HMAC. Two distinct hash
functions could be used, provided that both are adequately secure.
The overall security will be limited by the weaker of the two hash
functions, i.e., the one with the smaller output. Using a
specific, constant hash function for HMAC may be useful for
constrained implementations that accept externally hashed
messages, regardless of what hash function was used for that, but
have resources for implementing only one hash function for HMAC.

The main disadvantage of any variant is that it ceases to be

verifiable against the test vectors published in this document.

4. Security Considerations

Proper implementation and usage of a cryptographic signature

algorithm require taking into account many parameters. In
particular, private key generation, storage, access control, and
disposal are sensitive operations, which this document does not
address in any way. Deterministic (EC)DSA shows how to achieve the
security characteristics of a standard DSA or ECDSA signature scheme
while removing the need for a source of strong randomness, or even
any source of randomness, during signature generation.

Pornin Informational [Page 15]

RFC 6979 Deterministic DSA and ECDSA August 2013

Private key generation, however, absolutely requires such a strongly

random source. In situations where deterministic (EC)DSA is to be
used due to the lack of an appropriate source of randomness, one must
assume that the private key has been generated externally and
imported into the signature generation system or was generated in a
context where randomness was available. For instance, one can
imagine a smartcard that generates its private key while still in the
factory under controlled environmental conditions, but for which
random data generation cannot be guaranteed once deployed in the
field, when physically in the hands of potential attackers.

Both removal of the random source requirement and the ability to test
an implementation against test vectors enhance security of DSA and
ECDSA signer implementations, in that they help avoid hard-to-test
failure conditions. Deterministic signature schemes may also help in
other situations, e.g., to avoid spurious duplicates, when the same
data element is signed several times with the same key: with a
deterministic signature scheme, the same signature is generated every
time, making duplicate detection much easier.

Conversely, lack of randomization may have adverse effects in some

advanced protocols, e.g., related to anonymity in some voting
schemes. As a rule of thumb, deterministic DSA or ECDSA can be used
in lieu of the genuine DSA or ECDSA, with no additional security
issues, if the overall protocol would tolerate another deterministic
signature scheme, in particular RSA as specified in PKCS #1 [RFC3447]
(with "type 1" padding, not PSS) or ISO 9796-2 [ISO-9796-2]. The
list of protocols in which deterministic DSA or ECDSA is appropriate
includes Transport Layer Security (TLS) [RFC5246], the Secure SHell
(SSH) Protocol [RFC4251], Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS)
[RFC5652] and derivatives, X.509 public key infrastructures
[RFC5280], and many others.

The construction described in this document is known as a

"derandomization". This has been proposed for various signature
schemes. Security relies on whether the generation of k is
indistinguishable from the output of a random oracle. Roughly
speaking, HMAC_DRBG is secure in that role as long as HMAC behaves as
a PRF (Pseudorandom Function). For details on the security of HMAC
and HMAC_DRBG, please refer to [H2008] and [B2006]. For a more
formal treatment of derandomization, see [LN2009].

One remaining issue with deterministic (EC)DSA, as presented in this

document, is the "double use" of the private key x, both as the
private key in the signature generation algorithm itself and as input
to the HMAC_DRBG-based pseudorandom oracle for producing the k value.
This requires HMAC_DRBG to keep on being a random oracle, even when

Pornin Informational [Page 16]

RFC 6979 Deterministic DSA and ECDSA August 2013

the public key (which is computed from x) is also known. Given the
lack of common structure between HMAC and discrete logarithms, this
seems a reasonable assumption.

Side-channel attacks are an important consideration whenever an

attacker can accurately measure aspects of an implementation such as
the length of time that it takes to perform a signing operation or
the power consumed at each point of a signing operation. The
determinism of the algorithms described in this note may be useful to
an attacker in some forms of side-channel attacks, so implementations
SHOULD use defensive measures to avoid leaking the private key
through a side channel.

5. Intellectual Property Status

To the best of our knowledge, deterministic (EC)DSA is not covered by

any active patent. The paper [BDLSY2011] points to two independent
publications of the idea of derandomization by Barwood and Wigley,
both in early 1997, and also to a patent application by Naccache,
M’Raihi, and Levy-dit-Vehel a few months later [NML1997], but the
application was withdrawn in 2003. We are not aware of any other
patent on the subject.

Appendix A. Examples

A.1. Detailed Example

We detail here the intermediate values obtained during the generation

of k on an example message and key. We use a binary curve because
that specific curve is standard and has a group order length (qlen)
that is not a multiple of 8; this illustrates the fine details of how
conversions are performed between integers and bit sequences.

A.1.1. Key Pair

We consider ECDSA on the curve K-163 described in [FIPS-186-4] (also

known as "ansix9t163k1" in [X9.62]). The curve is defined over a
field GF(2^163): field elements are encoded into 163-bit strings.
The order of the conventional base point is the prime value:

q = 0x4000000000000000000020108A2E0CC0D99F8A5EF

which has length qlen = 163 bits.

Our private key is:

x = 0x09A4D6792295A7F730FC3F2B49CBC0F62E862272F

The corresponding public key is the curve point U = xG. This point
has two coordinates, which are elements of the field GF(2^163).
These elements can be converted to integers using the procedure
described in Section A.5.6 of [X9.62], yielding the two public point
coordinates:

Ux = 0x79AEE090DB05EC252D5CB4452F356BE198A4FF96F

Uy = 0x782E29634DDC9A31EF40386E896BAA18B53AFA5A3

A.1.2. Generation of k

In this example, we use the hash function SHA-256 [FIPS-180-4]. The

input message is the UTF-8 encoding of the string "sample" (6 octets,
i.e., 48 bits).

The hashed input message h1 = SHA-256(m) is:

h1
AF 2B DB E1 AA 9B 6E C1 E2 AD E1 D6 94 F4 1F C7
1A 83 1D 02 68 E9 89 15 62 11 3D 8A 62 AD D1 BF

(32 octets; each octet value is listed in hexadecimal notation).

Pornin Informational [Page 20]

RFC 6979 Deterministic DSA and ECDSA August 2013

We convert the private key x to a sequence of octets using the

int2octets transform:

int2octets(x)
00 9A 4D 67 92 29 5A 7F 73 0F C3 F2 B4 9C BC 0F
62 E8 62 27 2F

Note: Although the specific value of x would numerically fit in 160

bits, i.e., 20 octets, we still encode x into 21 octets, because the
encoding length is driven by the length of q, which is 163 bits.

We also truncate and/or expand the hashed message using bits2octets:

bits2octets(h1)
01 79 5E DF 0D 54 DB 76 0F 15 6D 0D AC 04 C0 32
2B 3A 20 42 24

The steps b to g (see Section 3.2) then compute the values for the K
and V variables. These variables are sequences of 256 bits (the hash
function output length, rounded up to a multiple of 8). We reproduce
here the successive values:

V after step b:
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01

K after step c:
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

K after step d:

V after step e:

F6 B6 11 1C 23 85 00 D1 3C 73 43 A8 C0 1B EC F7

K after step f:
0C F2 FE 96 D5 61 9C 9E F5 3C B7 41 7D 49 D3 7E
A6 8A 4F FE D0 D7 E6 23 E3 86 89 28 99 11 BD 57

V after step g:
78 34 57 C1 CF 31 48 A8 F2 A9 AE 73 ED 47 2F A9
8E D9 CD 92 5D 8E 96 4C E0 76 4D EF 3F 84 2B 9A

Pornin Informational [Page 21]

RFC 6979 Deterministic DSA and ECDSA August 2013

In step h, we perform the final loop. Since we use HMAC with SHA-
256, which produces 256 bits worth of output, and we need only 163
bits for T, a single HMAC invocation yields the following T:

T (first try)
93 05 A4 6D E7 FF 8E B1 07 19 4D EB D3 FD 48 AA
20 D5 E7 65 6C BE 0E A6 9D 2A 8D 4E 7C 67 31 4A

which, when converted to an integer with bits2int, yields a first

candidate for k:

k1 = 0x4982D236F3FFC758838CA6F5E9FEA455106AF3B2B

Since that value is greater than q-1, we have to loop. This first
entails computing new values for K and V:

new K
75 CB 5C 05 B2 A7 8C 3D 81 DF 12 D7 4D 7B E0 A0
E9 4A B1 98 15 78 1D 4D 8E 29 02 A7 9D 0A 66 99

new V
DC B9 CA 12 61 07 A9 C2 7C E7 7B A5 8E A8 71 C8
C9 12 D8 35 EA DD C3 05 F2 44 5D 88 F6 6C 4C 43

then a new T:

T (second try)
C7 0C 78 60 8A 3B 5B E9 28 9B E9 0E F6 E8 1A 9E
2C 15 16 D5 75 1D 2F 75 F5 00 33 E4 5F 73 BD EB

and a new candidate for k:

k2 = 0x63863C30451DADF4944DF4877B740D4F160A8B6AB

Since k2 is also greater than q-1, we loop again:

new K (2)
0A 5A 64 B9 9C 05 95 20 10 36 86 CB 6F 36 BC FC
A7 88 EB 3B CF 69 BA 66 A5 BB 08 0B 05 93 BA 53

0B 3B 19 68 11 B1 9F 6C 6F 72 9C 43 F3 5B CF 0D
FD 72 5F 17 CA 34 30 E8 72 14 53 E5 55 50 A1 8F

T (third try)
47 5E 80 E9 92 14 05 67 FC C3 A5 0D AB 90 FE 84
BC D7 BB 03 63 8E 9C 46 56 A0 6F 37 F6 50 8A 7C

Pornin Informational [Page 22]

RFC 6979 Deterministic DSA and ECDSA August 2013

and we finally get an acceptable value for k:

k = 0x23AF4074C90A02B3FE61D286D5C87F425E6BDD81B

A.1.3. Signature

With our private key and the value of k that we just generated, we
can now compute the signature using the standard ECDSA mechanisms.
First, the point kG is computed, and the X coordinate of that point
is converted to an integer and then reduced modulo q, yielding the
first signature half:

r = 0x113A63990598A3828C407C0F4D2438D990DF99A7F

which we use, together with x (the private key), k (which we computed

above), and h = bits2int(h1), to compute the second signature half:

s = 0x1313A2E03F5412DDB296A22E2C455335545672D9F

An ECDSA signature is a pair of integers. In many protocols that

require a signature to be a sequence of bits (or octets), it is
customary to encode the signature as an ASN.1 SEQUENCE of two INTEGER
values, with DER rules. This results in the following 48-octet
signature:

30 2E 02 15 01 13 A6 39 90 59 8A 38 28 C4 07 C0
F4 D2 43 8D 99 0D F9 9A 7F 02 15 01 31 3A 2E 03
F5 41 2D DB 29 6A 22 E2 C4 55 33 55 45 67 2D 9F

Pornin Informational [Page 23]

RFC 6979 Deterministic DSA and ECDSA August 2013

A.2. Test Vectors

In the following sections, we give test vectors for various key sizes
and hash functions, both for DSA and ECDSA.

All numbers are given in hexadecimal notation. Each signature

consists of two integers, named r and s; many implementations will
encode those integers into a single ASN.1 structure or with some
other encoding convention, which is outside of the scope of this
document. We also show the k value used internally.

For every key, we list ten signatures, corresponding to two distinct

input messages, and five of the SHA [FIPS-180-4] functions: SHA-1,
SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512. The two input messages are
the UTF-8 encoding of the strings "sample" and "test" (without the
quotes), of length 48 and 32 bits, respectively.

The ECDSA examples use the standard curves described in [FIPS-186-4].

A.3. Sample Code

We include here a sample implementation of deterministic DSA. It is

meant for illustration purposes; for instance, this code makes no
attempt at avoiding side-channel leakage of the private key. It is
written in the Java programming language. The actual generation of
the "random" value k is done in the computek() method. The Java
virtual machine (JVM) is assumed to provide the implementation of the

/**
* Deterministic DSA signature generation. This is a sample
* implementation designed to illustrate how deterministic DSA
* chooses the pseudorandom value k when signing a given message.
* This implementation was NOT optimized or hardened against
* side-channel leaks.
*
* An instance is created with a hash function name, which must be
* supported by the underlying Java virtual machine ("SHA-1" and
* "SHA-256" should work everywhere). The data to sign is input
* through the {@code update()} methods. The private key is set with
* {@link #setPrivateKey}. The signature is obtained by calling
* {@link #sign}; alternatively, {@link #signHash} can be used to
* sign some data that has been externally hashed. The private key
* MUST be set before generating the signature itself, but message
* data can be input before setting the key.
*
* Instances are NOT thread-safe. However, once a signature has
* been generated, the same instance can be used again for another
* signature; {@link #setPrivateKey} need not be called again if the
* private key has not changed. {@link #reset} can also be called to
* cancel previously input data. Generating a signature with {@link
* #sign} (not {@link #signHash}) also implicitly causes a
* reset.
