<section anchor="conventions-and-definitions"><name>Conventions and Definitions</name>
<t>The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED",
"MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 <xref target="RFC2119"/> <xref target="RFC8174"/> when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here.</t>
<t>The roles of "issuer", "holder", and "verifier" are used as defined by the VC Data Model <xref target="VC-DATA-MODEL-2.0"/>.  The term "presentation" is also used as defined by this source, but the term "credential" is avoided in this specification to minimize confusion with other definitions.</t>
</section>

<section anchor="terminology"><name>Terminology</name>
<t>The terms "JSON Web Signature (JWS)", "Base64url Encoding", "Header Parameter", "JOSE Header", "JWS Payload", "JWS Signature", and "JWS Protected Header" are defined by <xref target="RFC7515"/>.</t>
<t>The terms "JSON Web Proof (JWP)", "JWP Payload", "JWP Proof", and "JWP Protected Header" are defined by <xref target="I-D.ietf-jose-json-web-proof"/>.</t>
<t>These terms are defined by this specification:</t>

<dl spacing="compact">
<dt>Stable Key:</dt>
<dd>An asymmetric key-pair used by an issuer that is also shared via an out-of-band mechanism to a verifier to validate the signature.</dd>

<dd>An asymmetric key-pair that is generated by a holder and used to ensure that a presentation is not able to be replayed by any other party.</dd>
</dl>
</section>

<section anchor="background"><name>Background</name>
<t>JWP defines a container binding together a protected header, one or more payloads, and a cryptographic proof.  It does not define any details about the interactions between an application and the cryptographic libraries that implement proof-supporting algorithms.</t>
<t>Due to the nature of ZKPs, this specification also documents the subtle but important differences in proof algorithms versus those defined by the JSON Web Algorithms <xref target="RFC7518"/>.  These differences help support more advanced capabilities such as blinded signatures and predicate proofs.</t>
</section>

<section anchor="algorithm-basics"><name>Algorithm Basics</name>
<t>The four principal interactions that every proof algorithm MUST support are <tt>[issue](#issue)</tt>, <tt>[confirm](#confirm)</tt>, <tt>[present](#present)</tt>, and <tt>[verify](#verify)</tt>.</t>

<section anchor="issue"><name>Issue</name>
<t>The JWP is first created as the output of a JPA's <tt>issue</tt> operation.</t>
<t>Every algorithm MUST support a JSON issuer protected header along with one or more octet string payloads.  The algorithm MAY support using additional items provided by the holder for issuance such as blinded payloads, keys for replay prevention, etc.</t>
<t>All algorithms MUST provide integrity protection for the issuer header and all payloads and MUST specify all digest and/or hash2curve methods used.</t>
</section>

<section anchor="confirm"><name>Confirm</name>
<t>Performed by the holder to validate that the issued JWP is correctly formed and protected.</t>
<t>Each algorithm MAY support using additional input items options, such as those sent to the issuer for issuance. After confirmation, an algorithm MAY return a modified JWP for serialized storage without the local state (such as with blinded payloads now unblinded).</t>
<t>The algorithm MUST fully verify the issued proof value against the issuer protected header and all payloads.  If given a presented JWP instead of an issued one, the confirm process MUST return an error.</t>
</section>

<section anchor="present"><name>Present</name>
<t>Used to apply any selective disclosure choices and perform any unlinkability transformations, as well as to show binding.</t>
<t>An algorithm MAY support additional input options from the requesting party, such as for predicate proofs and verifiable computation requests.</t>
<t>Every algorithm MUST support the ability to hide any or all payloads.  It MUST always include the issuer protected header unmodified in the presentation.</t>
<t>The algorithm MUST replace the issued proof value and generate a new presented proof value.  It also MUST include a new presentation protected header that provides replay protection.</t>
</section>

<section anchor="verify"><name>Verify</name>
<t>Performed by the verifier to verify the protected headers along with any disclosed payloads and/or assertions about them from the proving party, while also verifying they are the same payloads and ordering as witnessed by the issuer.</t>
<t>The algorithm MUST verify the integrity of all disclosed payloads and MUST also verify the integrity of both the issuer and presentation protected headers.</t>
<t>If the presented proof contains any assertions about the hidden payloads, the algorithm MUST also verify all of those assertions.
It MAY support additional options, such as those sent to the holder to generate the presentation.</t>
<t>If given an issued JWP for verification, the algorithm MUST return an error.</t>
</section>
</section>

<section anchor="algorithm-specifications"><name>Algorithm Specifications</name>
<t>This section defines how to use specific algorithms for JWPs.</t>

<section anchor="single-use"><name>Single Use</name>
<t>The Single Use (SU) algorithm is based on composing multiple traditional asymmetric signatures into a single JWP proof.  It enables a very simple form of selective disclosure without requiring any advanced cryptographic techniques.</t>
<t>It does not support unlinkability if the same JWP is presented multiple times, therefore when privacy is required the holder will need to interact with the issuer again to receive new single-use JWPs (dynamically or in batches).</t>

<section anchor="jws-algorithm"><name>JWS Algorithm</name>
<t>The Single Use algorithm is based on using multiple signatures to cover the individual payloads, all of which are generated with the same Asymmetric JSON Web Algorithm (JWA).  The internal signing algorithm to use is part of the registration for a new Single Use algorithm identifier.</t>
<t>The chosen JWA MUST be an asymmetric signing algorithm so that each signature can be verified without sharing any private values between the parties.  This ensures that the verifier cannot brute force any non-disclosed payloads based only on their disclosed individual signatures.</t>
</section>

<section anchor="holder-setup"><name>Holder Setup</name>
<t>In order to support the protection of a presentation by a holder to a verifier, the holder MUST use a Presentation Key during the issuance and the presentation of every Single Use JWP.  This Presentation Key MUST be generated and used for only one JWP.</t>
<t>The issuer MUST verify that the holder has possession of this key.  The holder-issuer communication to exchange this information is out of scope of this specification, but can be accomplished by the holder using this key to generate a JWS that signs a value the issuer can verify as unique.</t>
</section>

<section anchor="issuer-setup"><name>Issuer Setup</name>
<t>To create a Single Use JWP, the issuer first generates a unique Ephemeral Key using the selected internal algorithm.  This key-pair will be used to sign each of the payloads of a single JWP and then discarded.</t>
</section>

<section anchor="signing-payloads"><name>Signing payloads</name>
<t>Each individual payload is signed using the selected internal algorithm using the Ephemeral Key.</t>
</section>

<section anchor="issuer-protected-header"><name>Issuer Protected Header</name>
<t>The issuer's Ephemeral Key MUST be included in the issuer protected header via the Proof Key header parameter.</t>
<t>The holder's Presentation Key MUST be included in issuer protected header via the Presentation Key header parameter.</t>
<t>The issuer protected header is signed using the given JWA and the issuer's Stable Key.</t>
</section>

<section anchor="payloads"><name>Payloads</name>
<t>Each JWP payload is processed in order and signed using the given JWA using the issuer's Ephemeral Key.</t>
</section>

<section anchor="proof"><name>Proof</name>
<t>The proof value is an octet string array. The first entry is the octet string of the issuer protected header signature, with an additional entry for each payload signature.</t>
</section>

<section anchor="presentation-protected-header"><name>Presentation Protected Header</name>
<t>To generate a new presentation, the holder first creates a presentation protected header that is specific to the verifier being presented to.  This header MUST contain a parameter that both the holder and verifier trust as being unique and non-replayable.
Use of the <tt>nonce</tt> header parameter is RECOMMENDED for this purpose.</t>
<t>This specification registers the <tt>nonce</tt> header parameter for the presentation protected header that contains a string value either generated by the verifier or derived from values provided by the verifier.  When present, the verifier MUST ensure the nonce value matches during verification.</t>
<t>The presentation protected header MAY contain other header parameters that are either provided by the verifier or by the holder.  These presentation header parameters SHOULD NOT contain values that are common across multiple presentations and SHOULD be unique to a single presentation and verifier.</t>
</section>

<section anchor="presentation"><name>Presentation</name>
<blockquote><t>Editor's Note: The current definition here is incomplete, the holder's signature needs to also incorporate the presented proof.</t>
</blockquote><t>The holder derives a new proof as part of presentation.  The presented proof value will always contain the issuer's Stable Key signature for the issuer protected header as the first element.</t>
<t>The second element of the presented proof is the holder's signature of the presentation protected header using the holder's presentation key. This signature is constructed using the same algorithm described in generating the issuer's signature over the issuer protected header. Signing only the presentation header with the Presentation Key is sufficient to protect the entire presentation since that key is private to the holder and only the contents of the presentation header are used for replay prevention.</t>
<t>For each payload which is to be disclosed, the corresponding payload signature (from the issued JWP) is included in the proof. If a payload is omitted from the presented JWP, the signature value will NOT be includeed, and the presentation proof will have one less part.</t>
<t>For example, if the second and fifth of five payloads are not disclosed, then the holder's derived proof would consist of the issuer's signature over the issuer protected header, the holder's signature over the holder's protected header, the ephemeral key signature over the first, third and fourth payloads.</t>
<t>Since the individual signatures in the proof value are unique and remain unchanged across multiple presentations, a Single Use JWP SHOULD only be presented a single time to each verifier in order for the holder to remain unlinkable across multiple presentations.</t>
</section>

<section anchor="verification"><name>Verification</name>
<t>The verifier MUST verify the issuer protected header octets against the first part in the proof using the issuer's Stable Key. It MUST also verify the presentation protected header octets against the second part in the proof value using the holder's Presentation Key, as provided in the Presentation Key header parameter.</t>
<t>With the headers verified, the Proof Key header parameter can then be used to verify each of the disclosed payload signatures.</t>
</section>

<section anchor="SU-registration"><name>JPA Registration</name>
<t>The proposed JWP <tt>alg</tt> value is of the format "SU-" appended with the relevant JWS <tt>alg</tt> value for the chosen public and ephemeral key-pair algorithm, for example "SU-ES256".</t>
</section>
</section>

<section anchor="bbs"><name>BBS</name>
<t>The BBS Signature Scheme <xref target="I-D.irtf-cfrg-bbs-signatures"/> is under active development within the CRFG.</t>
<t>This algorithm supports both selective disclosure and unlinkability, enabling the holder to generate multiple presentations from one issued JWP without a verifier being able to correlate those presentations together based on the proof.</t>

<section anchor="BBS-registration"><name>JPA Algorithms</name>
<t>The <tt>BBS</tt> algorithm corresponds to a ciphersuite identifier of <tt>BBS_BLS12381G1_XMD:SHA-256_SSWU_RO_</tt>.</t>
</section>

<section anchor="key-format"><name>Key Format</name>
<t>The key used for the <tt>BBS</tt> algorithm is an elliptic curve-based key pair, specifically against the G_2 subgroup of a pairing friendly curve. Additional details on key generation can be found in <xref target="I-D.irtf-cfrg-bbs-signatures" sectionFormat="bare" section="Section 3.4"/>. The JWK and Cose Key Object representations of the key are detailed in <xref target="I-D.ietf-cose-bls-key-representations"/>.</t>
<t>There is no additional holder presentation key necessary for presentation proofs.</t>
</section>

<section anchor="issuance"><name>Issuance</name>
<t>Issuance is performed using the <tt>Sign</tt> operation from <xref target="I-D.irtf-cfrg-bbs-signatures" sectionFormat="of" section="3.5.1"/>. This operation utilizes the issuer's BLS12-381 G2 key pair as <tt>SK</tt> and <tt>PK</tt>, along with desired protected header and payloads as the octets <tt>header</tt> and the octets array <tt>messages</tt>.</t>
<t>The octets resulting from this operation form a single octet string in the issuance proof array, to be used along with the protected header and payloads to serialize the JWP.</t>
</section>

<section anchor="issuance-proof-verification"><name>Issuance Proof Verification</name>
<t>Holder verification of the signature on issuance form is performed using the <tt>Verify</tt> operation from <xref target="I-D.irtf-cfrg-bbs-signatures" sectionFormat="of" section="3.5.2"/>.</t>
<t>This operation utilizes the issuer's public key as <tt>PK</tt>, the proof as <tt>signature</tt>, the protected header octets as <tt>header</tt> and the array of payload octets as <tt>messages</tt>.</t>
</section>

<section anchor="presentation-1"><name>Presentation</name>
<t>Derivation of a presentation is done by the holder using the <tt>ProofGen</tt> operation from <xref target="I-D.irtf-cfrg-bbs-signatures" sectionFormat="of" section="3.5.3"/>.</t>
<t>This operation utilizes the issuer's public key as <tt>PK</tt>, the issuer protected header as <tt>header</tt>, the issuance proof as <tt>signature</tt>, the issuance payloads as <tt>messages</tt>, and the holder's presentation protected header as <tt>ph</tt>.</t>
<t>The operation also takes a vector of indexes into <tt>messages</tt>, describing which payloads the holder wishes to disclose. All payloads are required for proof generation, but only these indicated payloads will be required to be disclosed for later proof verification.</t>
<t>The output of this operation is the presentation proof, as a single octet string.</t>
<t>Presentation serialization leverages the two protected headers and presentation proof, along with the disclosed payloads. Non-disclosed payloads are represented with the absent value of <tt>null</tt> in JSON serialization and a zero-length string in compact serialization.</t>
</section>

<section anchor="presentation-verification"><name>Presentation Verification</name>
<t>Verification of a presentation is done by the verifier using the <tt>ProofVerify</tt> operation from <xref target="I-D.irtf-cfrg-bbs-signatures" sectionFormat="bare" section="Section 3.5.4"/>.</t>
<t>This operation utilizes the issuer's public key as <tt>PK</tt>, the issuer protected header as <tt>header</tt>, the issuance proof as <tt>signature</tt>, the holder's presentation protected header as <tt>ph</tt>, and the payloads as <tt>disclosed_messages</tt>.</t>
<t>In addition, the <tt>disclosed_indexes</tt> scalar array is calculated from the payloads provided. Values disclosed in the presented payloads have a zero-based index in this array, while the indices of absent payloads are omitted.</t>
</section>
</section>

<section anchor="message-authentication-code"><name>Message Authentication Code</name>
<t>The Message Authentication Code (MAC) JPA uses a MAC to both generate ephemeral keys and compute authentication codes to protect the issuer header and each payload individually.</t>
<t>Like the the Single Use algorithm family, it also does not support unlinkability if the same JWP is presented multiple times. and requires an individually issued JWP for each presentation in order to fully protect privacy.  When compared to the JWS approach, using a MAC requires less computation but can result in potentially larger presentation proof values.</t>
<t>The design is intentionally minimal and only involves using a single standardized MAC method instead of a mix of MAC/hash methods or a custom hash-based construct.  It is able to use any published cryptographic MAC method such as HMAC <xref target="RFC2104"/> or <eref target="https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/SpecialPublications/NIST.SP.800-185.pdf">KMAC</eref>.  It uses traditional public-key based signatures to verify the authenticity of the issuer and holder.</t>

<section anchor="holder-setup-1"><name>Holder Setup</name>
<t>Prior to the issuer creating a new JWP, the issuer MUST have a presentation public key provided by the holder.</t>
<t>The holder's presentation key MUST be included in the issuer's protected header using the Presentation Key header parameter.</t>
</section>

<section anchor="issuer-setup-1"><name>Issuer Setup</name>
<t>To use the MAC algorithm, the issuer must have a stable public key pair to perform signing.  To start the issuance process, a single 32-byte random Shared Secret must first be generated.  This value will be shared privately to the holder as part of the issuer's JWP proof value.</t>
<t>The Shared Secret is used by both the issuer and holder as the MAC method's key to generate a new set of unique ephemeral keys.  These keys are then used as the input to generate a MAC that protects each payload.</t>
</section>

<section anchor="combined-mac-representation"><name>Combined MAC Representation</name>
<t>The combined MAC representation is a single octet string representing the MAC values of the issuer protected header, along with each payload provided by the issuer. This representation is signed by the issuer, but not shared - parties will recreate this octet string and verify the signature to verify the integrity of supplied issuer protected header and the integrity of any disclosed payloads.</t>
<t>The issuer protected header is included in this value as a MAC created using the fixed key "issuer_header" in UTF-8 encoded octets. The value is the issuer header JSON as a UTF-8 encoded octet string.</t>
<t>A unique key is generated for each payload using a MAC, with the Shared Secret as the key and a value of "payload_X" as UTF-8 encoded octets, where "X" is replaced by the zero-based array index of the payload, for example "payload_0", "payload_1", etc.</t>
<t>Each payload then itself has a corresponding MAC, using the above per-payload key and the payload octet string.</t>
<t>The combined MAC representation is the octet string formed by the the concatentation of the issuer protected header MAC output, along with each payload MAC output.</t>
</section>

<section anchor="issuer-proof"><name>Issuer Proof</name>
<t>The issuer proof consists of two octet strings.</t>
<t>The first octet string is the issuer signature over the combined MAC representation. The issuer signs the JWS using its stable public key, and a fixed header containing the <tt>alg</tt> associated with signing algorithm in use.</t>
<t><tt>jws_header = '{"alg":"ES256"}'</tt></t>
<t>The signature value of the JWS is extracted and base64url-decoded into an octet string.</t>
<t>The second octet string is the Shared Secret used to generate the per-payload keys for the combined representation.</t>
</section>

<section anchor="presentation-protected-header-1"><name>Presentation Protected Header</name>
<t>See the JWS <eref target="#presentation-protected-header">Presentation Protected Header</eref> section.</t>
</section>

<section anchor="presentation-proof"><name>Presentation Proof</name>
<blockquote><t>Editor's Note: The current definition here is incomplete, the holder's signature needs to also incorporate the presented proof.</t>
</blockquote><t>The first value in the presentation proof is the presentation signature. This is a signature over the presentation protected header, using the key specified by the Presentation Key header parameter in the issuer protected header.</t>
<t>The second value is the issuer signature over the Combined MAC Representation provided with the issued form.</t>
<t>The remaining values are used by the verifier to reconstruct the combined MAC representation without access to the Shared Secret. There is one value corresponding to each payload, whether it has been disclosed or not.</t>
<t>If a payload is disclosed, the unique per-payload key derived from the shared secret is used as the payload's entry in the proof array.</t>
<t>If a payload is not disclosed, the payload's MAC in the combined MAC representation is used as the payload's entry in the proof array.</t>
</section>

<section anchor="verification-of-the-presentation-proof"><name>Verification of the Presentation Proof</name>
<t>The verifier must recreate the Combined MAC Representation from the presentation proof to verify integrity over the disclosed information.</t>
<t>The issuer protected header MAC is recreated using the same mechanism described above.</t>
<t>For each payload in the presentation:</t>

<ul>
<li><t>If the payload is disclosed, then the presentation proof contains the unique per-payload key. The corresponding payload MAC can be computed by performing the MAC operation with this key and the corresponding payload.</t>
</li>
<li><t>If the payload is not disclosed, then the presentation proof contains the payload MAC, which can be used directly</t>
</li>
</ul>
<t>The concatenation of the octets of the issuer protected header MAC and each payload MAC forms the Combined MAC Representation. The issuer signature in the proof is then verified by converting these values to a JWS as described above, and verifying that JWS.</t>
</section>

<section anchor="MAC-registration"><name>JPA Registration</name>

</section>

<section anchor="iana-considerations"><name>IANA Considerations</name>
<t>The following registration procedure is used for all the
registries established by this specification.</t>
<t>Values are registered on a Specification Required <xref target="RFC5226"/> basis
after a three-week review period on the jose-reg-review@ietf.org
mailing list, on the advice of one or more Designated Experts.
However, to allow for the allocation of values prior to publication,
the Designated Experts may approve registration once they are
satisfied that such a specification will be published.</t>
<t>Registration requests sent to the mailing list for review should use
an appropriate subject (e.g., "Request to register JWP algorithm: example").</t>
<t>Within the review period, the Designated Experts will either approve or deny
the registration request, communicating this decision to the review list and IANA.
Denials should include an explanation and, if applicable,
suggestions as to how to make the request successful.
Registration requests that are undetermined for
a period longer than 21 days can be brought to the IESG's attention
(using the iesg@ietf.org mailing list) for resolution.</t>
<t>Criteria that should be applied by the Designated Experts include
determining whether the proposed registration duplicates existing functionality,
whether it is likely to be of general applicability
or useful only for a single application,
and whether the registration description is clear.</t>
<t>IANA must only accept registry updates from the Designated Experts and should direct
all requests for registration to the review mailing list.</t>
<t>It is suggested that multiple Designated Experts be appointed who are able to
represent the perspectives of different applications using this specification,
in order to enable broadly informed review of registration decisions.
In cases where a registration decision could be perceived as
creating a conflict of interest for a particular Expert,
that Expert should defer to the judgment of the other Experts.</t>

<section anchor="AlgsReg"><name>JSON Web Proof Algorithms Registry</name>
<t>This specification establishes the
IANA "JSON Web Proof Algorithms" registry
for values of the JWP <tt>alg</tt> (algorithm) parameter in JWP Header Parameters.
The registry records the algorithm name, the algorithm description,
the algorithm usage locations,
the implementation requirements, the change controller,
and a reference to the specification that defines it.
The same algorithm name can be registered multiple times,
provided that the sets of usage locations are disjoint.</t>
<t>It is suggested that the length of the key be included in the algorithm
name when multiple variations of algorithms are being
registered that use keys of different lengths and the key lengths for
each need to be fixed (for instance, because they will be created by
key derivation functions).
This allows readers of the JSON text to more easily make security decisions.</t>
<t>The Designated Experts should perform reasonable due diligence
that algorithms being registered either are currently considered
cryptographically credible or are being registered as Deprecated
or Prohibited.</t>
<t>The implementation requirements of an algorithm may be changed
over time as the
cryptographic landscape evolves, for instance,
to change the status of an algorithm to Deprecated or
to change the status of an algorithm from Optional
to Recommended+ or Required.
Changes of implementation requirements are only permitted
on a Specification Required basis after review by the Designated Experts,
with the new specification
defining the revised implementation requirements level.</t>

<section anchor="example-jwps"><name>Example JWPs</name>
<t>The following examples use algorithms defined in JSON Proof Algorithms and also contain the keys used, so that implementations can validate these samples.</t>

<section anchor="example-single-use-jwp"><name>Example Single-Use JWP</name>
<t>This example uses the Single-Use Algorithm as defined in JSON Proof Algorithms to create a JSON Proof Token.  It demonstrates how to apply selective disclosure using an array of traditional JWS-based signatures.  Unlinkability is only achieved by using each JWP one time, as multiple uses are inherently linkable via the traditional ECDSA signature embedded in the proof.</t>
<t>To begin, we need two asymmetric keys for Single Use: one that represents the JPT Issuer's stable key and the other is an ephemeral key generated by the Issuer just for this JWP.</t>
<t>This is the Issuer's stable private key used in this example in the JWK format:</t>

<t>The Single Use algorithm utilizes multiple individual JWS Signatures.  Each signature value is generated by creating a JWS with a single Protected Header with the associated <tt>alg</tt> value. In this example, the fixed header used for each JWS is the serialized JSON Object <tt>{"alg":"ES256"}</tt>. This protected header will be used to generate a signature over each corresponding payload in the JWP. The corresponding octet value in the proof is the octet string (base64url-decoded) value of the signature.</t>
<t>The final proof value from the Issuer is an array with the octets of the header signature, followed by entries for each payload signature.</t>
<t>The resulting JSON serialized JPT using the above examples is:</t>

<t>The holder will take the issuer proof (including shared secret) and derive the same individual payload MAC values (above).</t>
<t>In this case, the holder has decided not to disclose the last three claims provided by the issuer (corresponding to <tt>email</tt>, <tt>address</tt>, and <tt>age_over_21</tt>)</t>
<t>For the disclosed payloads, the holder will provide the corresponding derived key. For the non-disclosed payloads, the holder will provide the corresponding MAC value.</t>
<t>The final presented proof value is an array of octet strings. The contents are presentation header signature, followed by the issuer signature, then the value disclosed by the holder for each payload. This results in the following proof:</t>
