Abstract

Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman over COSE (EDHOC) [1] is an authentication protocol that aims to replace TLS for resource constrained Internet of Things (IoT) devices using a selection of lightweight ciphers and formats. It is inspired by the newest Internet Draft of TLS 1.3 [2] and includes reduced round-trip modes. Unlike TLS 1.3, EDHOC is designed from scratch, and does not have to support legacy versions of the protocol. As the protocol is neither well-known nor has been used in practice it has not been scrutinized to the extent it should be.
The objective of this paper is to verify security properties of the protocol, including integrity, secrecy, and perfect forward secrecy properties. We use ProVerif [3] to analyze these properties formally. We describe violations of specific security properties for the reduced round-trip modes. The flaws were reported to the authors of the EDHOC protocol.

The original SIGMA-I protocol uses a message authentication code (MAC), and then encrypts the signature and the authentication code with a symmetric encryption scheme for identity protection and binding: the use of authenticated encryption here serves this combined purpose.

As discussed in Sect. 2.2, draft 08 warns against the reuse of \( KID \), but does not prescribe a standard mechanism to avoid such reuse.

The use of \(\mathbf {phase}\) is a ProVerif-specific extension to the Applied Pi-calculus, which intuitively disables a process in a later phase to interact with processes from previous phases, though the attacker’s information is carried through phases. For a more detailed description of how phases work, we refer to the ProVerif manual [3].
