Encryption
==========
Bitmessage uses the Elliptic Curve Integrated Encryption Scheme
`(ECIES) <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_Encryption_Scheme>`_
to encrypt the payload of the Message and Broadcast objects.
The scheme uses Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman
`(ECDH) <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECDH>`_ to generate a shared secret used
to generate the encryption parameters for Advanced Encryption Standard with
256bit key and Cipher-Block Chaining
`(AES-256-CBC) <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard>`_.
The encrypted data will be padded to a 16 byte boundary in accordance to
`PKCS7 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographic_Message_Syntax>`_. This
means that the data is padded with N bytes of value N.
The Key Derivation Function
`(KDF) <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_derivation_function>`_ used to
generate the key material for AES is
`SHA512 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sha512>`_. The Message Authentication
Code (MAC) scheme used is `HMACSHA256 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hmac>`_.
Format
------
(See also: :doc:`protocol`)
.. include:: encrypted_payload.rst
In order to reconstitute a usable (65 byte) public key (starting with 0x04),
the X and Y components need to be expanded by prepending them with 0x00 bytes
until the individual component lengths are 32 bytes.
Encryption
----------
1. The destination public key is called K.
2. Generate 16 random bytes using a secure random number generator.
Call them IV.
3. Generate a new random EC key pair with private key called r and public key
called R.
4. Do an EC point multiply with public key K and private key r. This gives you
public key P.
5. Use the X component of public key P and calculate the SHA512 hash H.
6. The first 32 bytes of H are called key_e and the last 32 bytes are called
key_m.
7. Pad the input text to a multiple of 16 bytes, in accordance to PKCS7.
8. Encrypt the data with AES-256-CBC, using IV as initialization vector,
key_e as encryption key and the padded input text as payload. Call the
output cipher text.
9. Calculate a 32 byte MAC with HMACSHA256, using key_m as salt and
IV + R + cipher text as data. Call the output MAC.
The resulting data is: IV + R + cipher text + MAC
Decryption
----------
1. The private key used to decrypt is called k.
2. Do an EC point multiply with private key k and public key R. This gives you
public key P.
3. Use the X component of public key P and calculate the SHA512 hash H.
4. The first 32 bytes of H are called key_e and the last 32 bytes are called
key_m.
5. Calculate MAC' with HMACSHA256, using key_m as salt and
IV + R + cipher text as data.
6. Compare MAC with MAC'. If not equal, decryption will fail.
7. Decrypt the cipher text with AES-256-CBC, using IV as initialization
vector, key_e as decryption key and the cipher text as payload. The output
is the padded input text.
