Reviewer comments:
I added a recommendation as well. I think this can be merged.
Looks fine to me, merging
states Then has which is using -15 (SHA-256/64), not -16 (SHA-256) for the hash. How was this decision arrived at?
Thanks for the comment. The hash algorithm used in x5t is independent of the EDHOC cipher suite, that should probably be mentioned in the draft. I will make a PR with some text on this.I don't think there was any discussion on this, but SHA-256/64 feels like a natural choice. As EDHOC integrity protects the whole certificate the length of the hash does not have any security relevance, the hash is just used to find the certificate, not to prove it is the correct one. Using SHA-256 would increase overhead with 24 bytes per message without any benefits. An implementation supporting SHA-256 can easily support SHA-256/64 (as it is just a truncated SHA-256).
NAME Than I need to run an update on test vectors for p256 as I have switched to SHA256. I will make an update to use SHA256/64 and pull request
Yes, please do. Using SHA-256 in x5t is just a waste of 24 bytes in message2 and message3. We should maybe give some recommendations in the draft regarding this, but I think it is hard to give normative requirements as x5t is just one example and future COSE header parameters and EAD might use cryptographic algorithms. The algortithms in X.509 in another example on algorithms not controlled by the cipher suite, Somebody might use a cert with a P-521 authentication key where the CA used RSA-PSS to sign the certificate together with cipher suite 2/3. Maybe the draft should recommend the use of algorithms from the ciphersuite also in cose headers, EAD, X.509, CWT, etc. In the case of x5t the recommendation could be to use the same hash function but with as much truncation as possible.
Can we close this now?
Works for me - thanks.
