<t>This document specify Chempat as a generic family of instantiated
Post-Quantum/Traditional (PQ/T) Hybrid Key Exchange Methods (KEMs).
The goal is to provide a generic combiner construct that can be
analysed separately for security assurance, and to offer concrete
instantiated algorithms for integration into protocol and
implementations.  Identified instances are provided based on some
combinations of traditional Diffie-Hellman key agreement using curves
P-256, P-384, X25519, X448, brainpoolP256, brainpoolP384 and
brainpoolP512 combined with post quantum methods ML-KEM-768,
ML-KEM-1024, Streamlined NTRU Prime sntrup761, Classic McEliece and
FrodoKEM.</t>

<section anchor="introduction"><name>Introduction</name>

<t>To hedge against attacks on a traditional key agreement algorithm such
as X25519 <xref target="RFC7748"/> and a post-quantum key encapsulation mechanism
(KEM) such as ML-KEM-768 <xref target="MLKEM"/>, it is possible to combine both
algorithms to derive a shared secret <xref target="GHP18"/> and define the
combination mechanism as a new KEM.  Using the terminology of
<xref target="RFC9794"/>, this combination forms a PQ/T Hybrid Key Encapsulation
Mechanism.</t>

<t>Chempat is a generic pattern to create a PQ/T Hybrid Key Encapsulation
Mechanism based on at least one post-quantum algorithm and at least
one traditional algorithm.  The idea is that the Chempat combiner can
be analyzed generally and some assurance can be had that it behaves
well.  For ease of presentation, this document combine one traditional
DH-Based KEM algorithm with one post-quantum KEM algorithm.</t>

<t>While a natural approach would be to integrate the generic key
combiner construct into protocols and have the protocol and
implementation negotiate parameters, that leads to complexity
detrimental to security.  Therefor this document describe specific
instances of Chempat applied on selected algorithms.</t>

</section>
<section anchor="motivation"><name>Motivation</name>

<t>There are many choices that can be made when specifying a hybrid KEM:
the constituent KEMs; their security levels; the combiner; and the
hash within, to name but a few.  Having too many similar options are a
burden to the ecosystem.</t>

<t>The above argues for having carefully selected instantiated hybrid
KEMs.  Each hybrid KEM should be analysed to meet security targets.
If that analysis assume specific behaviour of the combiner, or if the
analysis become more complex due to the combiner, that leads to more
work to re-use the analysis for other combinations.  While it would be
preferrable to only specify one hybrid KEM and analyse that, such as
<xref target="XWING"/>, cryptographic history suggests that algorithm preferences
varies over time.</t>

<t>The argument then is to establish a generic method that can be
analysed independent of its component algorithms, such as
<xref target="KEMCOMBINER"/>.  Generic methods can lead to parametrized protocols
and implementations that is more difficult to analyse, and a lack of
instantiated algorithm identifiers.</t>

<t>While non-hybrid approaches may eventually be preferrable, there are
doubts on what properties protocols demand from cryptographic
primitives, and some of the properties are different from what have
been expected from traditional algorithms <xref target="CDM23"/>.  This suggests
that some post-quantum KEM's should be used together with a other
algorithms to strengthen the properties.</t>

<t>Finally this leads up to our approach to describe a generic method
that can be analysed independently of the individual components, with
as few parameters as possible in the generic combiner, and to
instantiate it with common algorithm choices that make sense for
protocols and implementations.  That is the essence of Chempat.</t>

<section anchor="comparison-to-x-wing"><name>Comparison to X-Wing</name>

<t>X-Wing <xref target="XWING"/> is a Hybrid PQ/T KEM based on X25519 and ML-KEM-768.
Main differences:</t>

<t><list style="symbols">
  <t>Chempat is applicable to other algorithm combinations, X-Wing's
combiner does not extend securely to other KEM combinations.</t>
  <t>Chempat on X25519 with ML-KEM-768 will hash the ML-KEM ciphertext
and public key.</t>
  <t>Chempat on X25519 with ML-KEM-768 can provide a per-protocol
key-domain separation context string.</t>
</list></t>

</section>
<section anchor="comparison-to-hpke-x25519kyber768draft00"><name>Comparison to HPKE X25519Kyber768Draft00</name>

<t>HPKE's X25519Kyber768Draft00 <xref target="XYBERHPKE"/> is similar to X-Wing.  Main
differences to Chempat:</t>

<t><list style="symbols">
  <t>Chempat is applicable to other algorithm combinations,
X25519Kyber768Draft00's combiner does not extend securely to other
KEM combinations.</t>
  <t>Chempat hashes the shared secret, to be usable outside of HPKE.</t>
  <t>Chempat hashes the combined ciphertext and public keys.</t>
</list></t>

<t>There is also a different KEM called X25519Kyber768Draft00
<xref target="XYBERTLS"/> which is used in TLS.  This one should not be used
outside of TLS, as it assumes the presence of the TLS transcript to
ensure non malleability.</t>

</section>
<section anchor="comparison-to-kem-generic-combiner"><name>Comparison to KEM Generic Combiner</name>

<t>Chempat is most similar to the generic combiner in <xref target="KEMCOMBINER"/>.
Main differences:</t>

<t><list style="symbols">
  <t>Chempat offers instantiated identified Hybrid KEMs for direct use in
protocols and implementations.</t>
  <t>Chempat offers the possibility of a generic simpler security
argument for the combiner, whereas <xref target="KEMCOMBINER"/> is parametrized
with several algorithm choices and any security analysis needs to be
parametrized over the numerous options permitted.</t>
  <t>Chempat has a fixed 32 byte shared secret instead of a variable
length shared secret.</t>
  <t>Chempat hashes the public keys of the component KEM's.</t>
</list></t>

</section>
<section anchor="design-goals"><name>Design Goals</name>

<t>While Chempat share a lot with <xref target="XWING"/>, <xref target="XYBERHPKE"/> and
<xref target="KEMCOMBINER"/> the following goals set it apart:</t>

<t><list style="symbols">
  <t>Allow generic security analysis independent of combinations.</t>
  <t>Provide concrete instantiated algorithm identifiers for several
anticipated uses of Hybrid KEM combinations.</t>
</list></t>

<t>We aim for instantiated algorithms of Chempat to be usable for most
applications, including specifically HPKE <xref target="RFC9180"/>, TLS
<xref target="RFC8446"/>, OpenPGP <xref target="RFC4880"/> and SSH <xref target="RFC4251"/>.</t>

<t>The following terms are used throughout this document:</t>

<t>string - array of bytes</t>

<t>func1(), func2(a,b) - denote functions called FUNC1 and FUNC2 that
takes no parameters and two parameters a and b, respectively.</t>

<t>concat(x0, ..., xN): returns the concatenation of byte
strings. concat(0x01, 0x0203, 0x040506) = 0x010203040506.</t>

<t>random(n): return a pseudorandom byte string of length n bytes

<t>Chempat is defined as follows:</t>

<figure><artwork><![CDATA[
H = SHA3-256

hybrid_pk = concat(receiver_pk_TKEM, receiver_pk_PQKEM)

hybrid_ct = concat(sender_ct_TKEM, sender_ct_PQKEM)

hybrid_ss = H(concat(ss_TKEM,
                     ss_PQKEM,
                     H(hybrid_ct),
                     H(hybrid_pk),
                     context))
]]></artwork></figure>

<t>The hash function SHA3-256 is defined in <xref target="NIST.FIPS.202"></xref>.</t>

<t>The hybrid_pk string is the concatenation of the serialized
public-key output from the traditional (receiver_pk_TEM) and
post-quantum (receiver_pk_PQKEM) respectively.  To reduce memory
usage it is possible to hash the public keys to pre-compute
H(hybrid_pk) directly when hybrid_pk is received.</t>

<t>The hybrid_ct string is the concatenation of the serialized
ciphertext output from the traditional (receiver_ct_TEM) and
post-quantum (receiver_ct_PQKEM) respectively.  To reduce memory
usage it is possible to hash the ciphertext to pre-compute
H(hybrid_ct) directly when hybrid_ct is received.</t>

<t>The hybrid_ss string is the 32-byte output shared secret, formed as
the output of the SHA3-256 hash function.  The inputs to the hash
function is a concatenation of the shared secrets from the traditional
(ss_TKEM) and post-quantum (ss_PQKEM) KEMs with the hashes of the
ciphertexts (H(hybrid_ct)) and public keys (H(hybrid_pk)) together
with a variable-length protocol-specific context string.</t>

<t>The context string can be chosen uniquely by the protocol referencing
this document.  The purpose is to provide protocol domain separation
of the generated keys.  The content is arbitrary, and in practice the
name of the protocol will suffice.  Since this results in a new
Chempat instance, to reduce combinatorical complexity of parameters,
we provide one instance with the context variable set to the name of
the Chempat instance, for example "Chempat-X25519-sntrup761".</t>

<t>The convention for identifiers is "Chempat-TKEM-PQKEM" replacing
"TKEM" and "PQKEM" with a brief mnemonic identifying the traditional
and post-quantum algorithm respectively.</t>

<t>This is a set of mechanisms implemented the same way but with
different component algorithms and parameter lengths.</t>

<t>This algorithm is instantiated using the TKEM as DHKEM(X, HKDF-SHA512)
from <xref target="RFC9180"/> and PQKEM as a HPKE variant of M from <xref target="MCELIECE"/>
<xref target="CM-spec"/>, substituting X and M for the particular algorithm from
the tables below.  Sizes for DHKEM for X25519 and X448 as per
<xref section="7.1" sectionFormat="of" target="RFC9180"/>, and sizes for PQKEM as per <xref target="CM-spec"/>.</t>

<t>The f and non-f versions are interoperable.
The f versions have faster key generation, while the non-f versions have simpler key generation.
For example, a key generated with mceliece6688128f can decapsulate ciphertexts that were encapsulated with mceliece6688128, and vice versa.
The secret-key sizes (and formats) are the same, the encapsulation functions are the same, and the decapsulation functions are the same.
Implementations of this protocol can chose between f and non-f variants, however the name of the hybrid will use the non-f names.</t>

<t>This algorithm is instantiated using the TKEM as DHKEM(X25519,
HKDF-SHA256) from <xref target="RFC9180"/> and PQKEM as a HPKE variant of
ML-KEM-768 from <xref target="MLKEM"/>.</t>

<t>Protocols and implementation <bcp14>MAY</bcp14> consider <xref target="XWING"/> instead of
Chempat-X25519-ML-KEM-768, and the definition of
Chempat-X25519-ML-KEM-768 is here for situations when some property of
X-Wing is not wanted.  Informally and non-conclusively, X-Wing offers
better performance and Chempat-X25519-ML-KEM-768 offers re-use of the
generic security claims on Chempat and a per-protocol key-separation
context string.</t>

<t>The DHKEM.Nsecret, DHKEM.Nenc, DHKEM.Npk, DHKEM.Nsk are all 32 for
X25519 per <xref section="7.1" sectionFormat="of" target="RFC9180"/>.</t>

<t>The PQKEM.Nsecret is 32, PQKEM.Nenc is 1088, PQKEM.Npk is 1184 and
PQKEM.Nsk is 2400 for ML-KEM-768 per <xref target="MLKEM"/>.</t>

<t>Thus Nenc is 1120, Npk is 1216 and Nsk is 2432 for

<t>For X448 DHKEM.Nsecret is 64, DHKEM.Nenc is 56, DHKEM.Npk is 56,

<section anchor="security-considerations"><name>Security Considerations</name>

<t>Chempat is intended to be secure if SHA3-256 is secure and either the
traditional algorithm is secure or the post-quantum algorithm is
secure.</t>

<t>The security considerations of each component algorithm are inherited.</t>

<t>Cryptographic algorithms and parameters will be broken or weakened
over time.  Blindly implementing supported groups listed here is not
advised.  Implementers and users need to check that the cryptographic
algorithms listed continue to provide the expected level of security.</t>

</section>
<section anchor="iana-considerations"><name>IANA Considerations</name>

<t>Protocols that provide a Context variable will need to register their
own key-domain separate identifiers.  The registrations below are when
Chempat instances are used with their default value of Context.</t>

	 <t>   The migration to post-quantum cryptography often calls for performing
   multiple key encapsulations in parallel and then combining their
   outputs to derive a single shared secret.

   This document defines a comprehensible and easy to implement Keccak-
   based KEM combiner to join an arbitrary number of key shares, that is
   compatible with NIST SP 800-56Cr2 [SP800-56C] when viewed as a key
   derivation function.  The combiners defined here are practical split-
   key PRFs and are CCA-secure as long as at least one of the ingredient
   KEMs is.

      <t>The Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol is a protocol for secure remote login and other secure network services over an insecure network. This document describes the architecture of the SSH protocol, as well as the notation and terminology used in SSH protocol documents. It also discusses the SSH algorithm naming system that allows local extensions. The SSH protocol consists of three major components: The Transport Layer Protocol provides server authentication, confidentiality, and integrity with perfect forward secrecy. The User Authentication Protocol authenticates the client to the server. The Connection Protocol multiplexes the encrypted tunnel into several logical channels. Details of these protocols are described in separate documents. [STANDARDS-TRACK]</t>

    <abstract>
      <t>This document describes a scheme for hybrid public key encryption (HPKE). This scheme provides a variant of public key encryption of arbitrary-sized plaintexts for a recipient public key. It also includes three authenticated variants, including one that authenticates possession of a pre-shared key and two optional ones that authenticate possession of a key encapsulation mechanism (KEM) private key. HPKE works for any combination of an asymmetric KEM, key derivation function (KDF), and authenticated encryption with additional data (AEAD) encryption function. Some authenticated variants may not be supported by all KEMs. We provide instantiations of the scheme using widely used and efficient primitives, such as Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) key agreement, HMAC-based key derivation function (HKDF), and SHA2.</t>
