## 1. Introduction

Many cryptographic protocols require a procedure that encodes an arbitrary input, e.g., a password, to a point on an elliptic curve. This procedure is known as hashing to an elliptic curve, where the hashing procedure provides collision resistance and does not reveal the discrete logarithm of the output point. Prominent examples of cryptosystems that hash to elliptic curves include password-authenticated key exchanges [BM92] [J96] [BMP00] [p1363.2], Identity-Based Encryption [BF01], Boneh-Lynn-Shacham signatures [BLS01] [BLS-SIG], Verifiable Random Functions [MRV99] [VRF], and Oblivious Pseudorandom Functions [NR97] [OPRFs].¶

Unfortunately for implementors, the precise hash function that is suitable for a given protocol implemented using a given elliptic curve is often unclear from the protocol's description. Meanwhile, an incorrect choice of hash function can have disastrous consequences for security.¶

This document aims to bridge this gap by providing a comprehensive set of recommended algorithms for a range of curve types. Each algorithm conforms to a common interface: it takes as input an arbitrary-length byte string and produces as output a point on an elliptic curve. We provide implementation details for each algorithm, describe the security rationale behind each recommendation, and give guidance for elliptic curves that are not explicitly covered. We also present optimized implementations for internal functions used by these algorithms.¶

Readers wishing to quickly specify or implement a conforming hash function should consult Section 8, which lists recommended hash-to-curve suites and describes both how to implement an existing suite and how to specify a new one.¶

This document does not specify probabilistic rejection sampling methods, sometimes referred to as "try-and-increment" or "hunt-and-peck," because the goal is to specify algorithms that can plausibly be computed in constant time. Use of these probabilistic rejection methods is NOT RECOMMENDED, because they have been a perennial cause of side-channel vulnerabilities. See Dragonblood [VR20] as one example of this problem in practice, and see Appendix A for an informal description of rejection sampling methods and the timing side-channels they introduce.¶

## 2. Background

### 2.1. Elliptic Curves

The following is a brief definition of elliptic curves, with an emphasis on important parameters and their relation to hashing to curves. For further reference on elliptic curves, consult [CFADLNV05] or [W08].¶

Let F be the finite field GF(q) of prime characteristic p > 3. (This document does not consider elliptic curves over fields of characteristic 2 or 3.) In most cases, F is a prime field, so q = p. Otherwise, F is an extension field, so q = p^m for an integer m > 1. This document writes elements of extension fields in a primitive element or polynomial basis, i.e., as a vector of m elements of GF(p) written in ascending order by degree. The entries of this vector are indexed in ascending order starting from 1, i.e., x = (x_1, x_2, ..., x_m). For example, if q = p^2 and the primitive element basis is (1, I), then x = (a, b) corresponds to the element a + b * I, where x_1 = a and x_2 = b. (Note that all choices of basis are isomorphic, but certain choices may result in a more efficient implementation; this document does not make any particular assumptions about choice of basis.)¶

An elliptic curve E is specified by an equation in two variables and a finite field F. An elliptic curve equation takes one of several standard forms, including (but not limited to) Weierstrass, Montgomery, and Edwards.¶

The curve E induces an algebraic group of order n, meaning that the group has n distinct elements. (This document uses additive notation for the elliptic curve group operation.) Elements of an elliptic curve group are points with affine coordinates (x, y) satisfying the curve equation, where x and y are elements of F. In addition, all elliptic curve groups have a distinguished element, the identity point, which acts as the identity element for the group operation. On certain curves (including Weierstrass and Montgomery curves), the identity point cannot be represented as an (x, y) coordinate pair.¶

For security reasons, cryptographic applications of elliptic curves generally require using a (sub)group of prime order. Let G be such a subgroup of the curve of prime order r, where n = h * r. In this equation, h is an integer called the cofactor. An algorithm that takes as input an arbitrary point on the curve E and produces as output a point in the subgroup G of E is said to "clear the cofactor." Such algorithms are discussed in Section 7.¶

Certain hash-to-curve algorithms restrict the form of the curve equation, the characteristic of the field, or the parameters of the curve. For each algorithm presented, this document lists the relevant restrictions.¶

The table below summarizes quantities relevant to hashing to curves:¶

Table 1: Summary of Symbols and Their Definitions
Symbol | Meaning | Relevance
--- | --- | ---
F,q,p | A finite field F of characteristic p and #F = q = p^m. | For prime fields, q = p; otherwise, q = p^m and m>1.
E | Elliptic curve. | E is specified by an equation and a field F.
n | Number of points on the elliptic curve E. | n = h * r, for h and r defined below.
G | A prime-order subgroup of the points on E. | G is a destination group to which byte strings are encoded.
r | Order of G. | r is a prime factor of n (usually, the largest such factor).
h | Cofactor, h >= 1. | h is an integer satisfying n = h * r.

### 2.2. Terminology

In this section, we define important terms used throughout the document.¶

#### 2.2.1. Mappings

A mapping is a deterministic function from an element of the field F to a point on an elliptic curve E defined over F.¶

In general, the set of all points that a mapping can produce over all possible inputs may be only a subset of the points on an elliptic curve (i.e., the mapping may not be surjective). In addition, a mapping may output the same point for two or more distinct inputs (i.e., the mapping may not be injective). For example, consider a mapping from F to an elliptic curve having n points: if the number of elements of F is not equal to n, then this mapping cannot be bijective (i.e., both injective and surjective), since the mapping is defined to be deterministic.¶

Mappings may also be invertible, meaning that there is an efficient algorithm that, for any point P output by the mapping, outputs an x in F such that applying the mapping to x outputs P. Some of the mappings given in Section 6 are invertible, but this document does not discuss inversion algorithms.¶

#### 2.2.2. Encodings

Encodings are closely related to mappings. Like a mapping, an encoding is a function that outputs a point on an elliptic curve. In contrast to a mapping, however, the input to an encoding is an arbitrary-length byte string.¶

This document constructs deterministic encodings by composing a hash function Hf with a deterministic mapping. In particular, Hf takes as input an arbitrary string and outputs an element of F. The deterministic mapping takes that element as input and outputs a point on an elliptic curve E defined over F. Since Hf takes arbitrary-length byte strings as inputs, it cannot be injective: the set of inputs is larger than the set of outputs, so there must be distinct inputs that give the same output (i.e., there must be collisions). Thus, any encoding built from Hf is also not injective.¶

Like mappings, encodings may be invertible, meaning that there is an efficient algorithm that, for any point P output by the encoding, outputs a string s such that applying the encoding to s outputs P. However, the instantiation of Hf used by all encodings specified in this document (Section 5) is not invertible; thus, those encodings are also not invertible.¶

In some applications of hashing to elliptic curves, it is important that encodings do not leak information through side channels. [VR20] is one example of this type of leakage leading to a security vulnerability. See Section 10.3 for further discussion.¶

#### 2.2.3. Random Oracle Encodings

A random-oracle encoding satisfies a strong property: it can be proved indifferentiable from a random oracle [MRH04] under a suitable assumption.¶

Both constructions described in Section 3 are indifferentiable from random oracles [MRH04] when instantiated following the guidelines in this document. The constructions differ in their output distributions: one gives a uniformly random point on the curve, the other gives a point sampled from a nonuniform distribution.¶

A random-oracle encoding with a uniform output distribution is suitable for use in many cryptographic protocols proven secure in the random-oracle model. See Section 10.1 for further discussion.¶

#### 2.2.4. Serialization

A procedure related to encoding is the conversion of an elliptic curve point to a bit string. This is called serialization, and it is typically used for compactly storing or transmitting points. The inverse operation, deserialization, converts a bit string to an elliptic curve point. For example, [SEC1] and [p1363a] give standard methods for serialization and deserialization.¶

Deserialization is different from encoding in that only certain strings (namely, those output by the serialization procedure) can be deserialized. In contrast, this document is concerned with encodings from arbitrary strings to elliptic curve points. This document does not cover serialization or deserialization.¶

#### 2.2.5. Domain Separation

Cryptographic protocols proven secure in the random-oracle model are often analyzed under the assumption that the random oracle only answers queries associated with that protocol (including queries made by adversaries) [BR93]. In practice, this assumption does not hold if two protocols use the same function to instantiate the random oracle. Concretely, consider protocols P1 and P2 that query a random-oracle RO: if P1 and P2 both query RO on the same value x, the security analysis of one or both protocols may be invalidated.¶

A common way of addressing this issue is called domain separation, which allows a single random oracle to simulate multiple, independent oracles. This is effected by ensuring that each simulated oracle sees queries that are distinct from those seen by all other simulated oracles. For example, to simulate two oracles RO1 and RO2 given a single oracle RO, one might define¶

    RO1(x) := RO("RO1" || x)
    RO2(x) := RO("RO2" || x)

¶

where || is the concatenation operator. In this example, "RO1" and "RO2" are called domain separation tags (DSTs); they ensure that queries to RO1 and RO2 cannot result in identical queries to RO, meaning that it is safe to treat RO1 and RO2 as independent oracles.¶

In general, domain separation requires defining a distinct injective encoding for each oracle being simulated. In the above example, "RO1" and "RO2" have the same length and thus satisfy this requirement when used as prefixes. The algorithms specified in this document take a different approach to ensuring injectivity; see Sections 5.3 and 10.7 for more details.¶

## 3. Encoding Byte Strings to Elliptic Curves

This section presents a general framework and interface for encoding byte strings to points on an elliptic curve. The constructions in this section rely on three basic functions:¶

- The function hash_to_field hashes arbitrary-length byte strings to a list of one or more elements of a finite field F; its implementation is defined in Section 5.¶

      hash_to_field(msg, count)

      Input:
      - msg, a byte string containing the message to hash.
      - count, the number of elements of F to output.

      Output:
      - (u_0, ..., u_(count - 1)), a list of field elements.

      Steps: defined in Section 5.

  ¶

- The function map_to_curve calculates a point on the elliptic curve E from an element of the finite field F over which E is defined. Section 6 describes mappings for a range of curve families.¶

      map_to_curve(u)

      Input: u, an element of field F.
      Output: Q, a point on the elliptic curve E.
      Steps: defined in Section 6.

  ¶

- The function clear_cofactor sends any point on the curve E to the subgroup G of E. Section 7 describes methods to perform this operation.¶

      clear_cofactor(Q)

      Input: Q, a point on the elliptic curve E.
      Output: P, a point in G.
      Steps: defined in Section 7.

  ¶

The two encodings (Section 2.2.2) defined in this section have the same interface and are both random-oracle encodings (Section 2.2.3). Both are implemented as a composition of the three basic functions above. The difference between the two is that their outputs are sampled from different distributions:¶

- encode_to_curve is a nonuniform encoding from byte strings to points in G. That is, the distribution of its output is not uniformly random in G: the set of possible outputs of encode_to_curve is only a fraction of the points in G, and some points in this set are more likely to be output than others. Section 10.4 gives a more precise definition of encode_to_curve's output distribution.¶

      encode_to_curve(msg)

      Input: msg, an arbitrary-length byte string.
      Output: P, a point in G.

      Steps:
      1. u = hash_to_field(msg, 1)
      2. Q = map_to_curve(u[0])
      3. P = clear_cofactor(Q)
      4. return P

  ¶

- hash_to_curve is a uniform encoding from byte strings to points in G. That is, the distribution of its output is statistically close to uniform in G.¶

  This function is suitable for most applications requiring a random oracle returning points in G, when instantiated with any of the map_to_curve functions described in Section 6. See Section 10.1 for further discussion.¶

      hash_to_curve(msg)

      Input: msg, an arbitrary-length byte string.
      Output: P, a point in G.

      Steps:
      1. u = hash_to_field(msg, 2)
      2. Q0 = map_to_curve(u[0])
      3. Q1 = map_to_curve(u[1])
      4. R = Q0 + Q1              # Point addition
      5. P = clear_cofactor(R)
      6. return P

  ¶

Each hash-to-curve suite in Section 8 instantiates one of these encoding functions for a specific elliptic curve.¶

### 3.1. Domain Separation Requirements

All uses of the encoding functions defined in this document MUST include domain separation (Section 2.2.5) to avoid interfering with other uses of similar functionality.¶

Applications that instantiate multiple, independent instances of either hash_to_curve or encode_to_curve MUST enforce domain separation between those instances. This requirement applies in both the case of multiple instances targeting the same curve and the case of multiple instances targeting different curves. (This is because the internal hash_to_field primitive (Section 5) requires domain separation to guarantee independent outputs.)¶

Domain separation is enforced with a domain separation tag (DST), which is a byte string constructed according to the following requirements:¶

1. Tags MUST be supplied as the DST parameter to hash_to_field, as described in Section 5.¶
2. Tags MUST have nonzero length. A minimum length of 16 bytes is RECOMMENDED to reduce the chance of collisions with other applications.¶
3. Tags SHOULD begin with a fixed identification string that is unique to the application.¶
4. Tags SHOULD include a version number.¶
5. For applications that define multiple ciphersuites, each ciphersuite's tag MUST be different. For this purpose, it is RECOMMENDED to include a ciphersuite identifier in each tag.¶
6. For applications that use multiple encodings, to either the same curve or different curves, each encoding MUST use a different tag. For this purpose, it is RECOMMENDED to include the encoding's Suite ID (Section 8) in the domain separation tag. For independent encodings based on the same suite, each tag SHOULD also include a distinct identifier, e.g., "ENC1" and "ENC2".¶

As an example, consider a fictional application named Quux that defines several different ciphersuites, each for a different curve. A reasonable choice of tag is "QUUX-V<xx>-CS<yy>-<suiteID>", where <xx> and <yy> are two-digit numbers indicating the version and ciphersuite, respectively, and <suiteID> is the Suite ID of the encoding used in ciphersuite <yy>.¶

As another example, consider a fictional application named Baz that requires two independent random oracles to the same curve. Reasonable choices of tags for these oracles are "BAZ-V<xx>-CS<yy>-<suiteID>-ENC1" and "BAZ-V<xx>-CS<yy>-<suiteID>-ENC2", respectively, where <xx>, <yy>, and <suiteID> are as described above.¶

The example tags given above are assumed to be ASCII-encoded byte strings without null termination, which is the RECOMMENDED format. Other encodings can be used, but in all cases the encoding as a sequence of bytes MUST be specified unambiguously.¶

## 4. Utility Functions

Algorithms in this document use the utility functions described below, plus standard arithmetic operations (addition, multiplication, modular reduction, etc.) and elliptic curve point operations (point addition and scalar multiplication).¶

For security, implementations of these functions SHOULD be constant time: in brief, this means that execution time and memory access patterns SHOULD NOT depend on the values of secret inputs, intermediate values, or outputs. For such constant-time implementations, all arithmetic, comparisons, and assignments MUST also be implemented in constant time. Section 10.3 briefly discusses constant-time security issues.¶

Guidance on implementing low-level operations (in constant time or otherwise) is beyond the scope of this document; readers should consult standard reference material [MOV96] [CFADLNV05].¶

- CMOV(a, b, c): If c is False, CMOV returns a; otherwise, it returns b. For constant-time implementations, this operation must run in a time that is independent of the value of c.¶
- AND, OR, NOT, and XOR are standard bitwise logical operators. For constant-time implementations, short-circuit operators MUST be avoided.¶

- is_square(x): This function returns True whenever the value x is a square in the field F. By Euler's criterion, this function can be calculated in constant time as¶

      is_square(x) := { True,  if x^((q - 1) / 2) is 0 or 1 in F;
                      { False, otherwise.

  ¶

  In certain extension fields, is_square can be computed in constant time more quickly than by the above exponentiation. [AR13] and [S85] describe optimized methods for extension fields. Appendix I.5 gives an optimized straight-line method for GF(p^2).¶

- sqrt(x): The sqrt operation is a multi-valued function, i.e., there exist two roots of x in the field F whenever x is square (except when x = 0). To maintain compatibility across implementations while allowing implementors leeway for optimizations, this document does not require sqrt() to return a particular value. Instead, as explained in Section 6.4, any function that calls sqrt also specifies how to determine the correct root.¶

  The preferred way of computing square roots is to fix a deterministic algorithm particular to F. We give several algorithms in Appendix I.¶

- sgn0(x): This function returns either 0 or 1 indicating the "sign" of x, where sgn0(x) == 1 just when x is "negative". (In other words, this function always considers 0 to be positive.) Section 4.1 defines this function and discusses its implementation.¶

- inv0(x): This function returns the multiplicative inverse of x in F, extended to all of F by fixing inv0(0) == 0. A straightforward way to implement inv0 in constant time is to compute¶

      inv0(x) := x^(q - 2).

  ¶

  Notice that on input 0, the output is 0 as required. Certain fields may allow faster inversion methods; detailed discussion of such methods is beyond the scope of this document.¶

- I2OSP and OS2IP: These functions are used to convert a byte string to and from a non-negative integer as described in [RFC8017]. (Note that these functions operate on byte strings in big-endian byte order.)¶
- a || b: denotes the concatenation of byte strings a and b. For example, "ABC" || "DEF" == "ABCDEF".¶
- substr(str, sbegin, slen): For a byte string str, this function returns the slen-byte substring starting at position sbegin; positions are zero indexed. For example, substr("ABCDEFG", 2, 3) == "CDE".¶
- len(str): For a byte string str, this function returns the length of str in bytes. For example, len("ABC") == 3.¶
- strxor(str1, str2): For byte strings str1 and str2, strxor(str1, str2) returns the bitwise XOR of the two strings. For example, strxor("abc", "XYZ") == "9;9" (the strings in this example are ASCII literals, but strxor is defined for arbitrary byte strings). In this document, strxor is only applied to inputs of equal length.¶

### 4.1. The sgn0 Function

This section defines a generic sgn0 implementation that applies to any field F = GF(p^m). It also gives simplified implementations for the cases F = GF(p) and F = GF(p^2).¶

The definition of the sgn0 function for extension fields relies on the polynomial basis or vector representation of field elements, and iterates over the entire vector representation of the input element. As a result, sgn0 depends on the primitive polynomial used to define the polynomial basis; see Section 8 for more information about this basis, and see Section 2.1 for a discussion of representing elements of extension fields as vectors.¶

    sgn0(x)

    Parameters:
    - F, a finite field of characteristic p and order q = p^m.
    - p, the characteristic of F (see immediately above).
    - m, the extension degree of F, m >= 1 (see immediately above).

    Input: x, an element of F.
    Output: 0 or 1.

    Steps:
    1. sign = 0
    2. zero = 1
    3. for i in (1, 2, ..., m):
    4.   sign_i = x_i mod 2
    5.   zero_i = x_i == 0
    6.   sign = sign OR (zero AND sign_i) # Avoid short-circuit logic ops
    7.   zero = zero AND zero_i
    8. return sign

¶

When m == 1, sgn0 can be significantly simplified:¶

    sgn0_m_eq_1(x)

    Input: x, an element of GF(p).
    Output: 0 or 1.

    Steps:
    1. return x mod 2

¶

The case m == 2 is only slightly more complicated:¶

    sgn0_m_eq_2(x)

    Input: x, an element of GF(p^2).
    Output: 0 or 1.

    Steps:
    1. sign_0 = x_0 mod 2
    2. zero_0 = x_0 == 0
    3. sign_1 = x_1 mod 2
    4. s = sign_0 OR (zero_0 AND sign_1) # Avoid short-circuit logic ops
    5. return s

¶

## 5. Hashing to a Finite Field

The hash_to_field function hashes a byte string msg of arbitrary length into one or more elements of a field F. This function works in two steps: it first hashes the input byte string to produce a uniformly random byte string, and then interprets this byte string as one or more elements of F.¶

For the first step, hash_to_field calls an auxiliary function expand_message. This document defines two variants of expand_message: one appropriate for hash functions like SHA-2 [FIPS180-4] or SHA-3 [FIPS202], and another appropriate for extendable-output functions such as SHAKE128 [FIPS202]. Security considerations for each expand_message variant are discussed below (Sections 5.3.1 and 5.3.2).¶

Implementors MUST NOT use rejection sampling to generate a uniformly random element of F, to ensure that the hash_to_field function is amenable to constant-time implementation. The reason is that rejection sampling procedures are difficult to implement in constant time, and later well-meaning "optimizations" may silently render an implementation non-constant-time. This means that any hash_to_field function based on rejection sampling would be incompatible with constant-time implementation.¶

The hash_to_field function is also suitable for securely hashing to scalars. For example, when hashing to the scalar field for an elliptic curve (sub)group with prime order r, it suffices to instantiate hash_to_field with target field GF(r).¶

The hash_to_field function is designed to be indifferentiable from a random oracle [MRH04] when expand_message (Section 5.3) is modeled as a random oracle (see Section 10.5 for details about its indifferentiability). Ensuring indifferentiability requires care; to see why, consider a prime p that is close to 3/4 * 2^256. Reducing a random 256-bit integer modulo this p yields a value that is in the range [0, p / 3] with probability roughly 1/2, meaning that this value is statistically far from uniform in [0, p - 1].¶

To control bias, hash_to_field instead uses random integers whose length is at least ceil(log2(p)) + k bits, where k is the target security level for the suite in bits. Reducing such integers mod p gives bias at most 2^-k for any p; this bias is appropriate when targeting k-bit security. For each such integer, hash_to_field uses expand_message to obtain L uniform bytes, where¶

    L = ceil((ceil(log2(p)) + k) / 8)

¶

These uniform bytes are then interpreted as an integer via OS2IP. For example, for a 255-bit prime p, and k = 128-bit security, L = ceil((255 + 128) / 8) = 48 bytes.¶

Note that k is an upper bound on the security level for the corresponding curve. See Section 10.8 for more details and Section 8.9 for guidelines on choosing k for a given curve.¶

### 5.1. Efficiency Considerations in Extension Fields

The hash_to_field function described in this section is inefficient for certain extension fields. Specifically, when hashing to an element of the extension field GF(p^m), hash_to_field requires expanding msg into m * L bytes (for L as defined above). For extension fields where log2(p) is significantly smaller than the security level k, this approach is inefficient: it requires expand_message to output roughly m * log2(p) + m * k bits, whereas m * log2(p) + k bytes suffices to generate an element of GF(p^m) with bias at most 2^-k. In such cases, applications MAY use an alternative hash_to_field function, provided it meets the following security requirements:¶

- The function MUST output one or more field elements that are uniformly random except with bias at most 2^-k.¶
- The function MUST NOT use rejection sampling.¶
- The function SHOULD be amenable to straight-line implementations.¶

For example, Pornin [P20] describes a method for hashing to GF(9767^19) that meets these requirements while using fewer output bits from expand_message than hash_to_field would for that field.¶

### 5.2. hash_to_field Implementation

The following procedure implements hash_to_field.¶

The expand_message parameter to this function MUST conform to the requirements given in Section 5.3. Section 3.1 discusses the REQUIRED method for constructing DST, the domain separation tag. Note that hash_to_field may fail (ABORT) if expand_message fails.¶

    hash_to_field(msg, count)

    Parameters:
    - DST, a domain separation tag (see Section 3.1).
    - F, a finite field of characteristic p and order q = p^m.
    - p, the characteristic of F (see immediately above).
    - m, the extension degree of F, m >= 1 (see immediately above).
    - L = ceil((ceil(log2(p)) + k) / 8), where k is the security
      parameter of the suite (e.g., k = 128).
    - expand_message, a function that expands a byte string and
      domain separation tag into a uniformly random byte string
      (see Section 5.3).

    Input:
    - msg, a byte string containing the message to hash.
    - count, the number of elements of F to output.

    Output:
    - (u_0, ..., u_(count - 1)), a list of field elements.

    Steps:
    1. len_in_bytes = count * m * L
    2. uniform_bytes = expand_message(msg, DST, len_in_bytes)
    3. for i in (0, ..., count - 1):
    4.   for j in (0, ..., m - 1):
    5.     elm_offset = L * (j + i * m)
    6.     tv = substr(uniform_bytes, elm_offset, L)
    7.     e_j = OS2IP(tv) mod p
    8.   u_i = (e_0, ..., e_(m - 1))
    9. return (u_0, ..., u_(count - 1))

### 5.3. expand_message

expand_message is a function that generates a uniformly random byte string. It takes three arguments:¶

1. msg, a byte string containing the message to hash,¶
2. DST, a byte string that acts as a domain separation tag, and¶
3. len_in_bytes, the number of bytes to be generated.¶

This document defines the following two variants of expand_message:¶

- expand_message_xmd (Section 5.3.1) is appropriate for use with a wide range of hash functions, including SHA-2 [FIPS180-4], SHA-3 [FIPS202], BLAKE2 [RFC7693], and others.¶
- expand_message_xof (Section 5.3.2) is appropriate for use with extendable-output functions (XOFs), including functions in the SHAKE [FIPS202] or BLAKE2X [BLAKE2X] families.¶

These variants should suffice for the vast majority of use cases, but other variants are possible; Section 5.3.4 discusses requirements.¶

#### 5.3.1. expand_message_xmd

The expand_message_xmd function produces a uniformly random byte string using a cryptographic hash function H that outputs b bits. For security, H MUST meet the following requirements:¶

- The number of bits output by H MUST be b >= 2 * k, where k is the target security level in bits, and b MUST be divisible by 8. The first requirement ensures k-bit collision resistance; the second ensures uniformity of expand_message_xmd's output.¶
- H MAY be a Merkle-Damgaard hash function like SHA-2. In this case, security holds when the underlying compression function is modeled as a random oracle [CDMP05]. (See Section 10.6 for discussion.)¶
- H MAY be a sponge-based hash function like SHA-3 or BLAKE2. In this case, security holds when the inner function is modeled as a random transformation or as a random permutation [BDPV08].¶
- Otherwise, H MUST be a hash function that has been proved indifferentiable from a random oracle [MRH04] under a reasonable cryptographic assumption.¶

SHA-2 [FIPS180-4] and SHA-3 [FIPS202] are typical and RECOMMENDED choices. As an example, for the 128-bit security level, b >= 256 bits and either SHA-256 or SHA3-256 would be an appropriate choice.¶

The hash function H is assumed to work by repeatedly ingesting fixed-length blocks of data. The length in bits of these blocks is called the input block size (s). As examples, s = 1024 for SHA-512 [FIPS180-4] and s = 576 for SHA3-512 [FIPS202]. For correctness, H requires b <= s.¶

The following procedure implements expand_message_xmd.¶

    expand_message_xmd(msg, DST, len_in_bytes)

    Parameters:
    - H, a hash function (see requirements above).
    - b_in_bytes, b / 8 for b the output size of H in bits.
      For example, for b = 256, b_in_bytes = 32.
    - s_in_bytes, the input block size of H, measured in bytes (see
      discussion above). For example, for SHA-256, s_in_bytes = 64.

    Input:
    - msg, a byte string.
    - DST, a byte string of at most 255 bytes.
      See below for information on using longer DSTs.
    - len_in_bytes, the length of the requested output in bytes,
      not greater than the lesser of (255 * b_in_bytes) or 2^16-1.

    Output:
    - uniform_bytes, a byte string.

    Steps:
    1.  ell = ceil(len_in_bytes / b_in_bytes)
    2.  ABORT if ell > 255 or len_in_bytes > 65535 or len(DST) > 255
    3.  DST_prime = DST || I2OSP(len(DST), 1)
    4.  Z_pad = I2OSP(0, s_in_bytes)
    5.  l_i_b_str = I2OSP(len_in_bytes, 2)
    6.  msg_prime = Z_pad || msg || l_i_b_str || I2OSP(0, 1) || DST_prime
    7.  b_0 = H(msg_prime)
    8.  b_1 = H(b_0 || I2OSP(1, 1) || DST_prime)
    9.  for i in (2, ..., ell):
    10.    b_i = H(strxor(b_0, b_(i - 1)) || I2OSP(i, 1) || DST_prime)
    11. uniform_bytes = b_1 || ... || b_ell
    12. return substr(uniform_bytes, 0, len_in_bytes)

¶

Note that the string Z_pad (step 6) is prefixed to msg before computing b_0 (step 7). This is necessary for security when H is a Merkle-Damgaard hash, e.g., SHA-2 (see Section 10.6). Hashing this additional data means that the cost of computing b_0 is higher than the cost of simply computing H(msg). In most settings, this overhead is negligible, because the cost of evaluating H is much less than the other costs involved in hashing to a curve.¶

It is possible, however, to entirely avoid this overhead by taking advantage of the fact that Z_pad depends only on H, and not on the arguments to expand_message_xmd. To do so, first precompute and save the internal state of H after ingesting Z_pad. Then, when computing b_0, initialize H using the saved state. Further details are implementation dependent and are beyond the scope of this document.¶

#### 5.3.2. expand_message_xof

The expand_message_xof function produces a uniformly random byte string using an extendable-output function (XOF) H. For security, H MUST meet the following criteria:¶

- The collision resistance of H MUST be at least k bits.¶
- H MUST be an XOF that has been proved indifferentiable from a random oracle under a reasonable cryptographic assumption.¶

The SHAKE XOF family [FIPS202] is a typical and RECOMMENDED choice. As an example, for 128-bit security, SHAKE128 would be an appropriate choice.¶

The following procedure implements expand_message_xof.¶

    expand_message_xof(msg, DST, len_in_bytes)

    Parameters:
    - H(m, d), an extendable-output function that processes
      input message m and returns d bytes.

    Input:
    - msg, a byte string.
    - DST, a byte string of at most 255 bytes.
      See below for information on using longer DSTs.
    - len_in_bytes, the length of the requested output in bytes.

    Output:
    - uniform_bytes, a byte string.

    Steps:
    1. ABORT if len_in_bytes > 65535 or len(DST) > 255
    2. DST_prime = DST || I2OSP(len(DST), 1)
    3. msg_prime = msg || I2OSP(len_in_bytes, 2) || DST_prime
    4. uniform_bytes = H(msg_prime, len_in_bytes)
    5. return uniform_bytes

¶

#### 5.3.3. Using DSTs Longer than 255 Bytes

The expand_message variants defined in this section accept domain separation tags of at most 255 bytes. If applications require a domain separation tag longer than 255 bytes, e.g., because of requirements imposed by an invoking protocol, implementors MUST compute a short domain separation tag by hashing, as follows:¶

- For expand_message_xmd using hash function H, DST is computed as¶

      DST = H("H2C-OVERSIZE-DST-" || a_very_long_DST)

  ¶

- For expand_message_xof using extendable-output function H, DST is computed as¶

      DST = H("H2C-OVERSIZE-DST-" || a_very_long_DST, ceil(2 * k / 8))

  ¶

Here, a_very_long_DST is the DST whose length is greater than 255 bytes, "H2C-OVERSIZE-DST-" is a 17-byte ASCII string literal, and k is the target security level in bits.¶

#### 5.3.4. Defining Other expand_message Variants

When defining a new expand_message variant, the most important consideration is that hash_to_field models expand_message as a random oracle. Thus, implementors SHOULD prove indifferentiability from a random oracle under an appropriate assumption about the underlying cryptographic primitives; see Section 10.5 for more information.¶

In addition, expand_message variants:¶

- MUST give collision resistance commensurate with the security level of the target elliptic curve.¶
- MUST be built on primitives designed for use in applications requiring cryptographic randomness. As examples, a secure stream cipher is an appropriate primitive, whereas a Mersenne twister pseudorandom number generator [MT98] is not.¶
- MUST NOT use rejection sampling.¶
- MUST give independent values for distinct (msg, DST, length) inputs. Meeting this requirement is subtle. As a simplified example, hashing msg || DST does not work, because in this case distinct (msg, DST) pairs whose concatenations are equal will return the same output (e.g., ("AB", "CDEF") and ("ABC", "DEF")). The variants defined in this document use a suffix-free encoding of DST to avoid this issue.¶
- MUST use the domain separation tag DST to ensure that invocations of cryptographic primitives inside of expand_message are domain-separated from invocations outside of expand_message. For example, if the expand_message variant uses a hash function H, an encoding of DST MUST be added either as a prefix or a suffix of the input to each invocation of H. Adding DST as a suffix is the RECOMMENDED approach.¶
- SHOULD read msg exactly once, for efficiency when msg is long.¶

In addition, each expand_message variant MUST specify a unique EXP_TAG that identifies that variant in a Suite ID. See Section 8.10 for more information.¶

## 6. Deterministic Mappings

The mappings in this section are suitable for implementing either nonuniform or uniform encodings using the constructions in Section 3. Certain mappings restrict the form of the curve or its parameters. For each mapping presented, this document lists the relevant restrictions.¶

Note that mappings in this section are not interchangeable: different mappings will almost certainly output different points when evaluated on the same input.¶

### 6.1. Choosing a Mapping Function

This section gives brief guidelines on choosing a mapping function for a given elliptic curve. Note that the suites given in Section 8 are recommended mappings for the respective curves.¶

If the target elliptic curve is a Montgomery curve (Section 6.7), the Elligator 2 method (Section 6.7.1) is recommended. Similarly, if the target elliptic curve is a twisted Edwards curve (Section 6.8), the twisted Edwards Elligator 2 method (Section 6.8.2) is recommended.¶

The remaining cases are Weierstrass curves. For curves supported by the Simplified Shallue-van de Woestijne-Ulas (SWU) method (Section 6.6.2), that mapping is the recommended one. Otherwise, the Simplified SWU method for AB == 0 (Section 6.6.3) is recommended if the goal is best performance, while the Shallue-van de Woestijne method (Section 6.6.1) is recommended if the goal is simplicity of implementation. (The reason for this distinction is that the Simplified SWU method for AB == 0 requires implementing an isogeny map in addition to the mapping function, while the Shallue-van de Woestijne method does not.)¶

The Shallue-van de Woestijne method (Section 6.6.1) works with any curve and may be used in cases where a generic mapping is required. Note, however, that this mapping is almost always more computationally expensive than the curve-specific recommendations above.¶

### 6.2. Interface

The generic interface shared by all mappings in this section is as follows:¶

        (x, y) = map_to_curve(u)

¶

The input u and outputs x and y are elements of the field F. The affine coordinates (x, y) specify a point on an elliptic curve defined over F. Note, however, that the point (x, y) is not a uniformly random point.¶

### 6.3. Notation

As a rough guide, the following conventions are used in pseudocode:¶

- All arithmetic operations are performed over a field F, unless explicitly stated otherwise.¶
- u: the input to the mapping function. This is an element of F produced by the hash_to_field function.¶
- (x, y), (s, t), (v, w): the affine coordinates of the point output by the mapping. Indexed variables (e.g., x1, y2, ...) are used for candidate values.¶
- tv1, tv2, ...: reusable temporary variables.¶
- c1, c2, ...: constant values, which can be computed in advance.¶

### 6.4. Sign of the Resulting Point

In general, elliptic curves have equations of the form y^2 = g(x). The mappings in this section first identify an x such that g(x) is square, then take a square root to find y. Since there are two square roots when g(x) != 0, this may result in an ambiguity regarding the sign of y.¶

When necessary, the mappings in this section resolve this ambiguity by specifying the sign of the y-coordinate in terms of the input to the mapping function. Two main reasons support this approach: first, this covers elliptic curves over any field in a uniform way, and second, it gives implementors leeway in optimizing square-root implementations.¶

### 6.5. Exceptional Cases

Mappings may have exceptional cases, i.e., inputs u on which the mapping is undefined. These cases must be handled carefully, especially for constant-time implementations.¶

For each mapping in this section, we discuss the exceptional cases and show how to handle them in constant time. Note that all implementations SHOULD use inv0 (Section 4) to compute multiplicative inverses, to avoid exceptional cases that result from attempting to compute the inverse of 0.¶

### 6.6. Mappings for Weierstrass Curves

The mappings in this section apply to a target curve E defined by the equation¶

        y^2 = g(x) = x^3 + A * x + B

¶

where 4 * A^3 + 27 * B^2 != 0.¶

#### 6.6.1. Shallue-van de Woestijne Method

Shallue and van de Woestijne [SW06] describe a mapping that applies to essentially any elliptic curve. (Note, however, that this mapping is more expensive to evaluate than the other mappings in this document.)¶

The parameterization given below is for Weierstrass curves; its derivation is detailed in [W19]. This parameterization also works for Montgomery curves (Section 6.7) and twisted Edwards curves (Section 6.8) via the rational maps given in Appendix D: first, evaluate the Shallue-van de Woestijne mapping to an equivalent Weierstrass curve, then map that point to the target Montgomery or twisted Edwards curve using the corresponding rational map.¶

Preconditions: A Weierstrass curve y^2 = x^3 + A * x + B.¶

Constants:¶

- A and B, the parameter of the Weierstrass curve.¶

- Z, a non-zero element of F meeting the below criteria. Appendix H.1 gives a Sage script [SAGE] that outputs the RECOMMENDED Z.¶

  1. g(Z) != 0 in F.¶
  2. -(3 * Z^2 + 4 * A) / (4 * g(Z)) != 0 in F.¶
  3. -(3 * Z^2 + 4 * A) / (4 * g(Z)) is square in F.¶
  4. At least one of g(Z) and g(-Z / 2) is square in F.¶

Sign of y: Inputs u and -u give the same x-coordinate for many values of u. Thus, we set sgn0(y) == sgn0(u).¶

Exceptions: The exceptional cases for u occur when (1 + u^2 * g(Z)) * (1 - u^2 * g(Z)) == 0. The restrictions on Z given above ensure that implementations that use inv0 to invert this product are exception free.¶

Operations:¶

    1. tv1 = u^2 * g(Z)
    2. tv2 = 1 + tv1
    3. tv1 = 1 - tv1
    4. tv3 = inv0(tv1 * tv2)
    5. tv4 = sqrt(-g(Z) * (3 * Z^2 + 4 * A))    # can be precomputed
    6. If sgn0(tv4) == 1, set tv4 = -tv4        # sgn0(tv4) MUST equal 0
    7. tv5 = u * tv1 * tv3 * tv4
    8. tv6 = -4 * g(Z) / (3 * Z^2 + 4 * A)      # can be precomputed
    9.  x1 = -Z / 2 - tv5
    10. x2 = -Z / 2 + tv5
    11. x3 = Z + tv6 * (tv2^2 * tv3)^2
    12. If is_square(g(x1)), set x = x1 and y = sqrt(g(x1))
    13. Else If is_square(g(x2)), set x = x2 and y = sqrt(g(x2))
    14. Else set x = x3 and y = sqrt(g(x3))
    15. If sgn0(u) != sgn0(y), set y = -y
    16. return (x, y)

¶

Appendix F.1 gives an example straight-line implementation of this mapping.¶

#### 6.6.2. Simplified Shallue-van de Woestijne-Ulas Method

The function map_to_curve_simple_swu(u) implements a simplification of the Shallue-van de Woestijne-Ulas mapping [U07] described by Brier et al. [BCIMRT10], which they call the "simplified SWU" map. Wahby and Boneh [WB19] generalize and optimize this mapping.¶

Preconditions: A Weierstrass curve y^2 = x^3 + A * x + B where A != 0 and B != 0.¶

Constants:¶

- A and B, the parameters of the Weierstrass curve.¶

- Z, an element of F meeting the below criteria. Appendix H.2 gives a Sage script [SAGE] that outputs the RECOMMENDED Z. The criteria are as follows:¶

  1. Z is non-square in F,¶
  2. Z != -1 in F,¶
  3. the polynomial g(x) - Z is irreducible over F, and¶
  4. g(B / (Z * A)) is square in F.¶

Sign of y: Inputs u and -u give the same x-coordinate. Thus, we set sgn0(y) == sgn0(u).¶

Exceptions: The exceptional cases are values of u such that Z^2 * u^4 + Z * u^2 == 0. This includes u == 0 and may include other values that depend on Z. Implementations must detect this case and set x1 = B / (Z * A), which guarantees that g(x1) is square by the condition on Z given above.¶

Operations:¶

    1. tv1 = inv0(Z^2 * u^4 + Z * u^2)
    2.  x1 = (-B / A) * (1 + tv1)
    3.  If tv1 == 0, set x1 = B / (Z * A)
    4. gx1 = x1^3 + A * x1 + B
    5.  x2 = Z * u^2 * x1
    6. gx2 = x2^3 + A * x2 + B
    7.  If is_square(gx1), set x = x1 and y = sqrt(gx1)
    8.  Else set x = x2 and y = sqrt(gx2)
    9.  If sgn0(u) != sgn0(y), set y = -y
    10. return (x, y)

¶

Appendix F.2 gives a general and optimized straight-line implementation of this mapping. For more information on optimizing this mapping, see Section 4 of [WB19] or the example code found at [hash2curve-repo].¶

#### 6.6.3. Simplified SWU for AB == 0

Wahby and Boneh [WB19] show how to adapt the Simplified SWU mapping to Weierstrass curves having A == 0 or B == 0, which the mapping of Section 6.6.2 does not support. (The case A == B == 0 is excluded because y^2 = x^3 is not an elliptic curve.)¶

This method applies to curves like secp256k1 [SEC2] and to pairing-friendly curves in the Barreto-Lynn-Scott family [BLS03], Barreto-Naehrig family [BN05], and other families.¶

This method requires finding another elliptic curve E' given by the equation¶

        y'^2 = g'(x') = x'^3 + A' * x' + B'

¶

that is isogenous to E and has A' != 0 and B' != 0. (See [WB19], Appendix A, for one way of finding E' using [SAGE].) This isogeny defines a map iso_map(x', y') given by a pair of rational functions. iso_map takes as input a point on E' and produces as output a point on E.¶

Once E' and iso_map are identified, this mapping works as follows: on input u, first apply the Simplified SWU mapping to get a point on E', then apply the isogeny map to that point to get a point on E.¶

Note that iso_map is a group homomorphism, meaning that point addition commutes with iso_map. Thus, when using this mapping in the hash_to_curve construction discussed in Section 3, one can effect a small optimization by first mapping u0 and u1 to E', adding the resulting points on E', and then applying iso_map to the sum. This gives the same result while requiring only one evaluation of iso_map.¶

Preconditions: An elliptic curve E' with A' != 0 and B' != 0 that is isogenous to the target curve E with isogeny map iso_map from E' to E.¶

Helper functions:¶

- map_to_curve_simple_swu is the mapping of Section 6.6.2 to E'¶
- iso_map is the isogeny map from E' to E¶

Sign of y: For this map, the sign is determined by map_to_curve_simple_swu. No further sign adjustments are necessary.¶

Exceptions: map_to_curve_simple_swu handles its exceptional cases. Exceptional cases of iso_map are inputs that cause the denominator of either rational function to evaluate to zero; such cases MUST return the identity point on E.¶

Operations:¶

    1. (x', y') = map_to_curve_simple_swu(u)    # (x', y') is on E'
    2.   (x, y) = iso_map(x', y')               # (x, y) is on E
    3. return (x, y)

¶

See [hash2curve-repo] or Section 4.3 of [WB19] for details on implementing the isogeny map.¶

### 6.7. Mappings for Montgomery Curves

The mapping defined in this section applies to a target curve M defined by the equation¶

        K * t^2 = s^3 + J * s^2 + s

¶

#### 6.7.1. Elligator 2 Method

Bernstein, Hamburg, Krasnova, and Lange give a mapping that applies to any curve with a point of order 2 [BHKL13], which they call Elligator 2.¶

Preconditions: A Montgomery curve K * t^2 = s^3 + J * s^2 + s where J != 0, K != 0, and (J^2 - 4) / K^2 is non-zero and non-square in F.¶

Constants:¶

- J and K, the parameters of the elliptic curve.¶
- Z, a non-square element of F. Appendix H.3 gives a Sage script [SAGE] that outputs the RECOMMENDED Z.¶

Sign of t: This mapping fixes the sign of t as specified in [BHKL13]. No additional adjustment is required.¶

Exceptions: The exceptional case is Z * u^2 == -1, i.e., 1 + Z * u^2 == 0. Implementations must detect this case and set x1 = -(J / K). Note that this can only happen when q = 3 (mod 4).¶

Operations:¶

    1.  x1 = -(J / K) * inv0(1 + Z * u^2)
    2.  If x1 == 0, set x1 = -(J / K)
    3. gx1 = x1^3 + (J / K) * x1^2 + x1 / K^2
    4.  x2 = -x1 - (J / K)
    5. gx2 = x2^3 + (J / K) * x2^2 + x2 / K^2
    6.  If is_square(gx1), set x = x1, y = sqrt(gx1) with sgn0(y) == 1.
    7.  Else set x = x2, y = sqrt(gx2) with sgn0(y) == 0.
    8.   s = x * K
    9.   t = y * K
    10. return (s, t)

¶

Appendix F.3 gives an example straight-line implementation of this mapping. Appendix G.2 gives optimized straight-line procedures that apply to specific classes of curves and base fields.¶

### 6.8. Mappings for Twisted Edwards Curves

Twisted Edwards curves (a class of curves that includes Edwards curves) are given by the equation¶

        a * v^2 + w^2 = 1 + d * v^2 * w^2

¶

with a != 0, d != 0, and a != d [BBJLP08].¶

These curves are closely related to Montgomery curves (Section 6.7): every twisted Edwards curve is birationally equivalent to a Montgomery curve ([BBJLP08], Theorem 3.2). This equivalence yields an efficient way of hashing to a twisted Edwards curve: first, hash to an equivalent Montgomery curve, then transform the result into a point on the twisted Edwards curve via a rational map. This method of hashing to a twisted Edwards curve thus requires identifying a corresponding Montgomery curve and rational map. We describe how to identify such a curve and map immediately below.¶

#### 6.8.1. Rational Maps from Montgomery to Twisted Edwards Curves

There are two ways to select a Montgomery curve and rational map for use when hashing to a given twisted Edwards curve. The selected Montgomery curve and rational map MUST be specified as part of the hash-to-curve suite for a given twisted Edwards curve; see Section 8.¶

1. When hashing to a standardized twisted Edwards curve for which a corresponding Montgomery form and rational map are also standardized, the standard Montgomery form and rational map SHOULD be used to ensure compatibility with existing software.¶

   In certain cases, e.g., edwards25519 [RFC7748], the sign of the rational map from the twisted Edwards curve to its corresponding Montgomery curve is not given explicitly. In this case, the sign MUST be fixed such that applying the rational map to the twisted Edwards curve's base point yields the Montgomery curve's base point with correct sign. (For edwards25519, see [RFC7748] and [Err4730].)¶

   When defining new twisted Edwards curves, a Montgomery equivalent and rational map SHOULD also be specified, and the sign of the rational map SHOULD be stated explicitly.¶

2. When hashing to a twisted Edwards curve that does not have a standardized Montgomery form or rational map, the map given in Appendix D SHOULD be used.¶

#### 6.8.2. Elligator 2 Method

Preconditions: A twisted Edwards curve E and an equivalent Montgomery curve M meeting the requirements in Section 6.8.1.¶

Helper functions:¶

- map_to_curve_elligator2 is the mapping of Section 6.7.1 to the curve M.¶
- rational_map is a function that takes a point (s, t) on M and returns a point (v, w) on E. This rational map should be chosen as defined in Section 6.8.1.¶

Sign of t (and v): For this map, the sign is determined by map_to_curve_elligator2. No further sign adjustments are required.¶

Exceptions: The exceptions for the Elligator 2 mapping are as given in Section 6.7.1. The exceptions for the rational map are as given in Section 6.8.1. No other exceptions are possible.¶

The following procedure implements the Elligator 2 mapping for a twisted Edwards curve. (Note that the output point is denoted (v, w) because it is a point on the target twisted Edwards curve.)¶

    map_to_curve_elligator2_edwards(u)

    Input: u, an element of F.
    Output: (v, w), a point on E.

    1. (s, t) = map_to_curve_elligator2(u)      # (s, t) is on M
    2. (v, w) = rational_map(s, t)              # (v, w) is on E
    3. return (v, w)

¶

## 7. Clearing the Cofactor

The mappings of Section 6 always output a point on the elliptic curve, i.e., a point in a group of order h * r (Section 2.1). Obtaining a point in G may require a final operation commonly called "clearing the cofactor," which takes as input any point on the curve and produces as output a point in the prime-order (sub)group G (Section 2.1).¶

The cofactor can always be cleared via scalar multiplication by h. For elliptic curves where h = 1, i.e., the curves with a prime number of points, no operation is required. This applies, for example, to the NIST curves P-256, P-384, and P-521 [FIPS186-4].¶

In some cases, it is possible to clear the cofactor via a faster method than scalar multiplication by h. These methods are equivalent to (but usually faster than) multiplication by some scalar h_eff whose value is determined by the method and the curve. Examples of fast cofactor clearing methods include the following:¶

- For certain pairing-friendly curves having subgroup G2 over an extension field, Scott et al. [SBCDK09] describe a method for fast cofactor clearing that exploits an efficiently computable endomorphism. Fuentes-Castañeda et al. [FKR11] propose an alternative method that is sometimes more efficient. Budroni and Pintore [BP17] give concrete instantiations of these methods for Barreto-Lynn-Scott pairing-friendly curves [BLS03]. This method is described for the specific case of BLS12-381 in Appendix G.3.¶
- Wahby and Boneh ([WB19], Section 5) describe a trick due to Scott for fast cofactor clearing on any elliptic curve for which the prime factorization of h and the structure of the elliptic curve group meet certain conditions.¶

The clear_cofactor function is parameterized by a scalar h_eff. Specifically,¶

        clear_cofactor(P) := h_eff * P

¶

where * represents scalar multiplication. When a curve does not support a fast cofactor clearing method, h_eff = h and the cofactor MUST be cleared via scalar multiplication.¶

When a curve admits a fast cofactor clearing method, clear_cofactor MAY be evaluated either via that method or via scalar multiplication by the equivalent h_eff; these two methods give the same result. Note that in this case scalar multiplication by the cofactor h does not generally give the same result as the fast method and MUST NOT be used.¶

## 8. Suites for Hashing

This section lists recommended suites for hashing to standard elliptic curves.¶

A hash-to-curve suite fully specifies the procedure for hashing byte strings to points on a specific elliptic curve group. Section 8.1 describes how to implement a suite. Applications that require hashing to an elliptic curve should use either an existing suite or a new suite specified as described in Section 8.9.¶

All applications using a hash-to-curve suite MUST choose a domain separation tag (DST) in accordance with the guidelines in Section 3.1. In addition, applications whose security requires a random oracle that returns uniformly random points on the target curve MUST use a suite whose encoding type is hash_to_curve; see Section 3 and immediately below for more information.¶

A hash-to-curve suite comprises the following parameters:¶

- Suite ID, a short name used to refer to a given suite. Section 8.10 discusses the naming conventions for Suite IDs.¶
- encoding type, either uniform (hash_to_curve) or nonuniform (encode_to_curve). See Section 3 for definitions of these encoding types.¶
- E, the target elliptic curve over a field F.¶
- p, the characteristic of the field F.¶
- m, the extension degree of the field F. If m > 1, the suite MUST also specify the polynomial basis used to represent extension field elements.¶
- k, the target security level of the suite in bits. (See Section 10.8 for discussion.)¶
- L, the length parameter for hash_to_field (Section 5).¶
- expand_message, one of the variants specified in Section 5.3 plus any parameters required for the specified variant (for example, H, the underlying hash function).¶
- f, a mapping function from Section 6.¶
- h_eff, the scalar parameter for clear_cofactor (Section 7).¶

In addition to the above parameters, the mapping f may require additional parameters Z, M, rational_map, E', or iso_map. When applicable, these MUST be specified.¶

The table below lists suites RECOMMENDED for some elliptic curves. The corresponding parameters are given in the following subsections. Applications instantiating cryptographic protocols whose security analysis relies on a random oracle that outputs points with a uniform distribution MUST NOT use a nonuniform encoding. Moreover, applications that use a nonuniform encoding SHOULD carefully analyze the security implications of nonuniformity. When the required encoding is not clear, applications SHOULD use a uniform encoding for security.¶

### 8.1. Implementing a Hash-to-Curve Suite

A hash-to-curve suite requires the following functions. Note that some of these require utility functions from Section 4.¶

1. Base field arithmetic operations for the target elliptic curve, e.g., addition, multiplication, and square root.¶
2. Elliptic curve point operations for the target curve, e.g., point addition and scalar multiplication.¶
3. The hash_to_field function; see Section 5. This includes the expand_message variant (Section 5.3) and any constituent hash function or XOF.¶
4. The suite-specified mapping function; see the corresponding subsection of Section 6.¶
5. A cofactor clearing function; see Section 7. This may be implemented as scalar multiplication by h_eff or as a faster equivalent method.¶
6. The desired encoding function; see Section 3. This is either hash_to_curve or encode_to_curve.¶

### 8.9. Defining a New Hash-to-Curve Suite

For elliptic curves not listed elsewhere in Section 8, a new hash-to-curve suite can be defined by the following:¶

1. E, F, p, and m are determined by the elliptic curve and its base field.¶
2. k is an upper bound on the target security level of the suite (Section 10.8). A reasonable choice of k is ceil(log2(r) / 2), where r is the order of the subgroup G of the curve E (Section 2.1).¶
3. Choose encoding type, either hash_to_curve or encode_to_curve (Section 3).¶
4. Compute L as described in Section 5.¶
5. Choose an expand_message variant from Section 5.3 plus any underlying cryptographic primitives (e.g., a hash function H).¶
6. Choose a mapping following the guidelines in Section 6.1, and select any required parameters for that mapping.¶
7. Choose h_eff to be either the cofactor of E or, if a fast cofactor clearing method is to be used, a value appropriate to that method as discussed in Section 7.¶
8. Construct a Suite ID following the guidelines in Section 8.10.¶

### 8.10. Suite ID Naming Conventions

Suite IDs MUST be constructed as follows:¶

    CURVE_ID || "_" || HASH_ID || "_" || MAP_ID || "_" || ENC_VAR || "_"

¶

The fields CURVE_ID, HASH_ID, MAP_ID, and ENC_VAR are ASCII-encoded strings of at most 64 characters each. Fields MUST contain only ASCII characters between 0x21 and 0x7E (inclusive), except that underscore (i.e., 0x5F) is not allowed.¶

As indicated above, each field (including the last) is followed by an underscore ("_", ASCII 0x5F). This helps to ensure that Suite IDs are prefix free. Suite IDs MUST include the final underscore and MUST NOT include any characters after the final underscore.¶

Suite ID fields MUST be chosen as follows:¶

- CURVE_ID: a human-readable representation of the target elliptic curve.¶

- HASH_ID: a human-readable representation of the expand_message function and any underlying hash primitives used in hash_to_field (Section 5). This field MUST be constructed as follows:¶

        EXP_TAG || ":" || HASH_NAME

  ¶

  EXP_TAG indicates the expand_message variant:¶

  - "XMD" for expand_message_xmd (Section 5.3.1).¶
  - "XOF" for expand_message_xof (Section 5.3.2).¶

  HASH_NAME is a human-readable name for the underlying hash primitive. As examples:¶

  1. For expand_message_xof (Section 5.3.2) with SHAKE128, HASH_ID is "XOF:SHAKE128".¶
  2. For expand_message_xmd (Section 5.3.1) with SHA3-256, HASH_ID is "XMD:SHA3-256".¶

  Suites that use an alternative hash_to_field function that meets the requirements in Section 5.1 MUST indicate this by appending a tag identifying that function to the HASH_ID field, separated by a colon (":", ASCII 0x3A).¶

- MAP_ID: a human-readable representation of the map_to_curve function as defined in Section 6. These are defined as follows:¶

  - "SVDW" for Shallue and van de Woestijne (Section 6.6.1).¶
  - "SSWU" for Simplified SWU (Sections 6.6.2 and 6.6.3).¶
  - "ELL2" for Elligator 2 (Sections 6.7.1 and 6.8.2).¶

- ENC_VAR: a string indicating the encoding type and other information. The first two characters of this string indicate whether the suite represents a hash_to_curve or an encode_to_curve operation (Section 3), as follows:¶

  - If ENC_VAR begins with "RO", the suite uses hash_to_curve.¶
  - If ENC_VAR begins with "NU", the suite uses encode_to_curve.¶
  - ENC_VAR MUST NOT begin with any other string.¶

  ENC_VAR MAY also be used to encode other information used to identify variants, for example, a version number. The RECOMMENDED way to do so is to add one or more subfields separated by colons. For example, "RO:V02" is an appropriate ENC_VAR value for the second version of a uniform encoding suite, while "RO:V02:FOO01:BAR17" might be used to indicate a variant of that suite.¶

## 9. IANA Considerations

This document has no IANA actions.¶

## 10. Security Considerations

This section contains additional security considerations about the hash-to-curve mechanisms described in this document.¶

### 10.1. Properties of Encodings

Each encoding type (Section 3) accepts an arbitrary byte string and maps it to a point on the curve sampled from a distribution that depends on the encoding type. It is important to note that using a nonuniform encoding or directly evaluating one of the mappings of Section 6 produces an output that is easily distinguished from a uniformly random point. Applications that use a nonuniform encoding SHOULD carefully analyze the security implications of nonuniformity. When the required encoding is not clear, applications SHOULD use a uniform encoding.¶

Both encodings given in Section 3 can output the identity element of the group G. The probability that either encoding function outputs the identity element is roughly 1/r for a random input, which is negligible for cryptographically useful elliptic curves. Further, it is computationally infeasible to find an input to either encoding function whose corresponding output is the identity element. (Both of these properties hold when the encoding functions are instantiated with a hash_to_field function that follows all guidelines in Section 5.) Protocols that use these encoding functions SHOULD NOT add a special case to detect and "fix" the identity element.¶

When the hash_to_curve function (Section 3) is instantiated with a hash_to_field function that is indifferentiable from a random oracle (Section 5), the resulting function is indifferentiable from a random oracle ([MRH04] [BCIMRT10] [FFSTV13] [LBB19] [H20]). In many cases, such a function can be safely used in cryptographic protocols whose security analysis assumes a random oracle that outputs uniformly random points on an elliptic curve. As Ristenpart et al. discuss in [RSS11], however, not all security proofs that rely on random oracles continue to hold when those oracles are replaced by indifferentiable functionalities. This limitation should be considered when analyzing the security of protocols relying on the hash_to_curve function.¶

### 10.2. Hashing Passwords

When hashing passwords using any function described in this document, an adversary who learns the output of the hash function (or potentially any intermediate value, e.g., the output of hash_to_field) may be able to carry out a dictionary attack. To mitigate such attacks, it is recommended to first execute a more costly key derivation function (e.g., PBKDF2 [RFC8018], scrypt [RFC7914], or Argon2 [RFC9106]) on the password, then hash the output of that function to the target elliptic curve. For collision resistance, the hash underlying the key derivation function should be chosen according to the guidelines listed in Section 5.3.1.¶

### 10.3. Constant-Time Requirements

Constant-time implementations of all functions in this document are STRONGLY RECOMMENDED for all uses, to avoid leaking information via side channels. It is especially important to use a constant-time implementation when inputs to an encoding are secret values; in such cases, constant-time implementations are REQUIRED for security against timing attacks (e.g., [VR20]). When constant-time implementations are required, all basic operations and utility functions must be implemented in constant time, as discussed in Section 4. In some applications (e.g., embedded systems), leakage through other side channels (e.g., power or electromagnetic side channels) may be pertinent. Defending against such leakage is outside the scope of this document, because the nature of the leakage and the appropriate defense depend on the application.¶

### 10.4. encode_to_curve: Output Distribution and Indifferentiability

The encode_to_curve function (Section 3) returns points sampled from a distribution that is statistically far from uniform. This distribution is bounded roughly as follows: first, it includes at least one eighth of the points in G, and second, the probability of points in the distribution varies by at most a factor of four. These bounds hold when encode_to_curve is instantiated with any of the map_to_curve functions in Section 6.¶

The bounds above are derived from several works in the literature. Specifically:¶

- Shallue and van de Woestijne [SW06] and Fouque and Tibouchi [FT12] derive bounds on the Shallue-van de Woestijne mapping (Section 6.6.1).¶
- Fouque and Tibouchi [FT10] and Tibouchi [T14] derive bounds for the Simplified SWU mapping (Sections 6.6.2 and 6.6.3).¶
- Bernstein et al. [BHKL13] derive bounds for the Elligator 2 mapping (Sections 6.7.1 and 6.8.2).¶

Indifferentiability of encode_to_curve follows from an argument similar to the one given by Brier et al. [BCIMRT10]; we briefly sketch this argument as follows. Consider an ideal random oracle Hc() that samples from the distribution induced by the map_to_curve function called by encode_to_curve, and assume for simplicity that the target elliptic curve has cofactor 1 (a similar argument applies for non-unity cofactors). Indifferentiability holds just if it is possible to efficiently simulate the "inner" random oracle in encode_to_curve, namely, hash_to_field. The simulator works as follows: on a fresh query msg, the simulator queries Hc(msg) and receives a point P in the image of map_to_curve (if msg is the same as a prior query, the simulator just returns the value it gave in response to that query). The simulator then computes the possible preimages of P under map_to_curve, i.e., elements u of F such that map_to_curve(u) == P (Tibouchi [T14] shows that this can be done efficiently for the Shallue-van de Woestijne and Simplified SWU maps, and Bernstein et al. show the same for Elligator 2). The simulator selects one such preimage at random and returns this value as the simulated output of the "inner" random oracle. By hypothesis, Hc() samples from the distribution induced by map_to_curve on a uniformly random input element of F, so this value is uniformly random and induces the correct point P when passed through map_to_curve.¶

### 10.5. hash_to_field Security

The hash_to_field function, defined in Section 5, is indifferentiable from a random oracle [MRH04] when expand_message (Section 5.3) is modeled as a random oracle. Since indifferentiability proofs are composable, this also holds when expand_message is proved indifferentiable from a random oracle relative to an underlying primitive that is modeled as a random oracle. When following the guidelines in Section 5.3, both variants of expand_message defined in that section meet this requirement (see also Section 10.6).¶

We very briefly sketch the indifferentiability argument for hash_to_field. Notice that each integer mod p that hash_to_field returns (i.e., each element of the vector representation of F) is a member of an equivalence class of roughly 2^k integers of length log2(p) + k bits, all of which are equal modulo p. For each integer mod p that hash_to_field returns, the simulator samples one member of this equivalence class at random and outputs the byte string returned by I2OSP. (Notice that this is essentially the inverse of the hash_to_field procedure.)¶

### 10.6. expand_message_xmd Security

The expand_message_xmd function, defined in Section 5.3.1, is indifferentiable from a random oracle [MRH04] when one of the following holds:¶

1. H is indifferentiable from a random oracle,¶
2. H is a sponge-based hash function whose inner function is modeled as a random transformation or random permutation [BDPV08], or¶
3. H is a Merkle-Damgaard hash function whose compression function is modeled as a random oracle [CDMP05].¶

For cases (1) and (2), the indifferentiability of expand_message_xmd follows directly from the indifferentiability of H.¶

For case (3), i.e., where H is a Merkle-Damgaard hash function, indifferentiability follows from [CDMP05], Theorem 5. In particular, expand_message_xmd computes b_0 by prefixing the message with one block of zeros plus auxiliary information (length, counter, and DST). Then, each of the output blocks b_i, i >= 1 in expand_message_xmd is the result of invoking H on a unique, prefix-free encoding of b_0. This is true, first because the length of the input to all such invocations is equal and fixed by the choice of H and DST, and second because each such input has a unique suffix (because of the inclusion of the counter byte I2OSP(i, 1)).¶

The essential difference between the construction discussed in [CDMP05] and expand_message_xmd is that the latter hashes a counter appended to strxor(b_0, b_(i - 1)) ({#hashtofield-expand-xmd}, step 10) rather than to b_0. This approach increases the Hamming distance between inputs to different invocations of H, which reduces the likelihood that nonidealities in H affect the distribution of the b_i values.¶

We note that expand_message_xmd can be used to instantiate a general-purpose indifferentiable functionality with variable-length output based on any hash function meeting one of the above criteria. Applications that use expand_message_xmd outside of hash_to_field should ensure domain separation by picking a distinct value for DST.¶

### 10.7. Domain Separation for expand_message Variants

As discussed in Section 2.2.5, the purpose of domain separation is to ensure that security analyses of cryptographic protocols that query multiple independent random oracles remain valid even if all of these random oracles are instantiated based on one underlying function H.¶

The expand_message variants in this document (Section 5.3) ensure domain separation by appending a suffix-free-encoded domain separation tag DST_prime to all strings hashed by H, an underlying hash or extendable-output function. (Other expand_message variants that follow the guidelines in Section 5.3.4 are expected to behave similarly, but these should be analyzed on a case-by-case basis.) For security, applications that use the same function H outside of expand_message should enforce domain separation between those uses of H and expand_message, and they should separate all of these from uses of H in other applications.¶

This section suggests four methods for enforcing domain separation from expand_message variants, explains how each method achieves domain separation, and lists the situations in which each is appropriate. These methods share a high-level structure: the application designer fixes a tag DST_ext distinct from DST_prime and augments calls to H with DST_ext. Each method augments calls to H differently, and each may impose additional requirements on DST_ext.¶

These methods can be used to instantiate multiple domain-separated functions (e.g., H1 and H2) by selecting distinct DST_ext values for each (e.g., DST_ext1, DST_ext2).¶

1. (Suffix-only domain separation.) This method is useful when domain-separating invocations of H from expand_message_xmd or expand_message_xof. It is not appropriate for domain-separating expand_message from HMAC-H [RFC2104]; for that purpose, see method 4.¶

   To instantiate a suffix-only domain-separated function Hso, compute¶

       Hso(msg) = H(msg || DST_ext)

   ¶

   DST_ext should be suffix-free encoded (e.g., by appending one byte encoding the length of DST_ext) to make it infeasible to find distinct (msg, DST_ext) pairs that hash to the same value.¶

   This method ensures domain separation because all distinct invocations of H have distinct suffixes, since DST_ext is distinct from DST_prime.¶

2. (Prefix-suffix domain separation.) This method can be used in the same cases as the suffix-only method.¶

   To instantiate a prefix-suffix domain-separated function Hps, compute¶

       Hps(msg) = H(DST_ext || msg || I2OSP(0, 1))

   ¶

   DST_ext should be prefix-free encoded (e.g., by adding a one-byte prefix that encodes the length of DST_ext) to make it infeasible to find distinct (msg, DST_ext) pairs that hash to the same value.¶

   This method ensures domain separation because appending the byte I2OSP(0, 1) ensures that inputs to H inside Hps are distinct from those inside expand_message. Specifically, the final byte of DST_prime encodes the length of DST, which is required to be nonzero (Section 3.1, requirement 2), and DST_prime is always appended to invocations of H inside expand_message.¶

3. (Prefix-only domain separation.) This method is only useful for domain-separating invocations of H from expand_message_xmd. It does not give domain separation for expand_message_xof or HMAC-H.¶

   To instantiate a prefix-only domain-separated function Hpo, compute¶

       Hpo(msg) = H(DST_ext || msg)

   ¶

   In order for this method to give domain separation, DST_ext should be at least b bits long, where b is the number of bits output by the hash function H. In addition, at least one of the first b bits must be nonzero. Finally, DST_ext should be prefix-free encoded (e.g., by adding a one-byte prefix that encodes the length of DST_ext) to make it infeasible to find distinct (msg, DST_ext) pairs that hash to the same value.¶

   This method ensures domain separation as follows. First, since DST_ext contains at least one nonzero bit among its first b bits, it is guaranteed to be distinct from the value Z_pad (Section 5.3.1, step 4), which ensures that all inputs to H are distinct from the input used to generate b_0 in expand_message_xmd. Second, since DST_ext is at least b bits long, it is almost certainly distinct from the values b_0 and strxor(b_0, b_(i - 1)), and therefore all inputs to H are distinct from the inputs used to generate b_i, i >= 1, with high probability.¶

4. (XMD-HMAC domain separation.) This method is useful for domain-separating invocations of H inside HMAC-H (i.e., HMAC [RFC2104] instantiated with hash function H) from expand_message_xmd. It also applies to HKDF-H (i.e., HKDF [RFC5869] instantiated with hash function H), as discussed below.¶

   Specifically, this method applies when HMAC-H is used with a non-secret key to instantiate a random oracle based on a hash function H (note that expand_message_xmd can also be used for this purpose; see Section 10.6). When using HMAC-H with a high-entropy secret key, domain separation is not necessary; see discussion below.¶

   To choose a non-secret HMAC key DST_key that ensures domain separation from expand_message_xmd, compute¶

       DST_key_preimage = "DERIVE-HMAC-KEY-" || DST_ext || I2OSP(0, 1)
       DST_key = H(DST_key_preimage)

   ¶

   Then, to instantiate the random oracle Hro using HMAC-H, compute¶

       Hro(msg) = HMAC-H(DST_key, msg)

   ¶

   The trailing zero byte in DST_key_preimage ensures that this value is distinct from inputs to H inside expand_message_xmd (because all such inputs have suffix DST_prime, which cannot end with a zero byte as discussed above). This ensures domain separation because, with overwhelming probability, all inputs to H inside of HMAC-H using key DST_key have prefixes that are distinct from the values Z_pad, b_0, and strxor(b_0, b_(i - 1)) inside of expand_message_xmd.¶

   For uses of HMAC-H that instantiate a private random oracle by fixing a high-entropy secret key, domain separation from expand_message_xmd is not necessary. This is because, similarly to the case above, all inputs to H inside HMAC-H using this secret key almost certainly have distinct prefixes from all inputs to H inside expand_message_xmd.¶

   Finally, this method can be used with HKDF-H [RFC5869] by fixing the salt input to HKDF-Extract to DST_key, computed as above. This ensures domain separation for HKDF-Extract by the same argument as for HMAC-H using DST_key. Moreover, assuming that the input keying material (IKM) supplied to HKDF-Extract has sufficiently high entropy (say, commensurate with the security parameter), the HKDF-Expand step is domain-separated by the same argument as for HMAC-H with a high-entropy secret key (since a pseudorandom key is exactly that).¶

### 10.8. Target Security Levels

Each ciphersuite specifies a target security level (in bits) for the underlying curve. This parameter ensures the corresponding hash_to_field instantiation is conservative and correct. We stress that this parameter is only an upper bound on the security level of the curve and is neither a guarantee nor endorsement of its suitability for a given application. Mathematical and cryptographic advancements may reduce the effective security level for any curve.¶

## Appendix A. Related Work

The problem of mapping arbitrary bit strings to elliptic curve points has been the subject of both practical and theoretical research. This section briefly describes the background and research results that underlie the recommendations in this document. This section is provided for informational purposes only.¶

A naive but generally insecure method of mapping a string msg to a point on an elliptic curve E having n points is to first fix a point P that generates the elliptic curve group, and a hash function Hn from bit strings to integers less than n; then compute Hn(msg) * P, where the * operator represents scalar multiplication. The reason this approach is insecure is that the resulting point has a known discrete log relationship to P. Thus, except in cases where this method is specified by the protocol, it must not be used; doing so risks catastrophic security failures.¶

Boneh et al. [BLS01] describe an encoding method they call MapToGroup, which works roughly as follows: first, use the input string to initialize a pseudorandom number generator, then use the generator to produce a value x in F. If x is the x-coordinate of a point on the elliptic curve, output that point. Otherwise, generate a new value x in F and try again. Since a random value x in F has probability about 1/2 of corresponding to a point on the curve, the expected number of tries is just two. However, the running time of this method, which is generally referred to as a probabilistic try-and-increment algorithm, depends on the input string. As such, it is not safe to use in protocols sensitive to timing side channels, as was exemplified by the Dragonblood attack [VR20].¶

Schinzel and Skalba [SS04] introduce a method of constructing elliptic curve points deterministically, for a restricted class of curves and a very small number of points. Skalba [S05] generalizes this construction to more curves and more points on those curves. Shallue and van de Woestijne [SW06] further generalize and simplify Skalba's construction, yielding concretely efficient maps to a constant fraction of the points on almost any curve. Fouque and Tibouchi [FT12] give a parameterization of this mapping for Barreto-Naehrig pairing-friendly curves [BN05].¶

Ulas [U07] describes a simpler version of the Shallue-van de Woestijne map, and Brier et al. [BCIMRT10] give a further simplification, which the authors call the "Simplified SWU" map. That simplified map applies only to fields of characteristic p = 3 (mod 4); Wahby and Boneh [WB19] generalize to fields of any characteristic and give further optimizations.¶

Boneh and Franklin give a deterministic algorithm mapping to certain supersingular curves over fields of characteristic p = 2 (mod 3) [BF01]. Icart gives another deterministic algorithm that maps to any curve over a field of characteristic p = 2 (mod 3) [Icart09]. Several extensions and generalizations follow this work, including [FSV09], [FT10], [KLR10], [F11], and [CK11].¶

Following the work of Farashahi [F11], Fouque et al. [FJT13] describe a mapping to curves over fields of characteristic p = 3 (mod 4) having a number of points divisible by 4. Bernstein et al. [BHKL13] optimize this mapping and describe a related mapping that they call "Elligator 2," which applies to any curve over a field of odd characteristic having a point of order 2. This includes Curve25519 and Curve448, both of which are CFRG-recommended curves [RFC7748]. Bernstein et al. [BLMP19] extend the Elligator 2 map to a class of supersingular curves over fields of characteristic p = 3 (mod 4).¶

An important caveat regarding all of the above deterministic mapping functions is that none of them map to the entire curve, but rather to some fraction of the points. This means that they cannot be used directly to construct a random oracle that outputs points on the curve.¶

Brier et al. [BCIMRT10] give two solutions to this problem. The first, which Brier et al. prove applies to Icart's method, computes f(H0(msg)) + f(H1(msg)) for two distinct hash functions H0 and H1 from bit strings to F and a mapping f from F to the elliptic curve E. The second, which applies to essentially all deterministic mappings but is more costly, computes f(H0(msg)) + H2(msg) * P, where P is a generator of the elliptic curve group, H2 is a hash from bit strings to integers modulo r, and r is the order of the elliptic curve group.¶

Farashahi et al. [FFSTV13] improve the analysis of the first method, showing that it applies to essentially all deterministic mappings. Tibouchi and Kim [TK17] further refine the analysis and describe additional optimizations.¶

Complementary to the problem of mapping from bit strings to elliptic curve points, Bernstein et al. [BHKL13] study the problem of mapping from elliptic curve points to uniformly random bit strings, giving solutions for a class of curves that includes Montgomery and twisted Edwards curves. Tibouchi [T14] and Aranha et al. [AFQTZ14] generalize these results. This document does not deal with this complementary problem.¶

## Appendix B. Hashing to ristretto255

ristretto255 [ristretto255-decaf448] provides a prime-order group based on curve25519 [RFC7748]. This section describes hash_to_ristretto255, which implements a random-oracle encoding to this group that has a uniform output distribution (Section 2.2.3) and the same security properties and interface as the hash_to_curve function (Section 3).¶

The ristretto255 API defines a one-way map ([ristretto255-decaf448], Section 4.3.4); this section refers to that map as ristretto255_map.¶

The hash_to_ristretto255 function MUST be instantiated with an expand_message function that conforms to the requirements given in Section 5.3. In addition, it MUST use a domain separation tag constructed as described in Section 3.1, and all domain separation recommendations given in Section 10.7 apply when implementing protocols that use hash_to_ristretto255.¶

    hash_to_ristretto255(msg)

    Parameters:
    - DST, a domain separation tag (see discussion above).
    - expand_message, a function that expands a byte string and
      domain separation tag into a uniformly random byte string
      (see discussion above).
    - ristretto255_map, the one-way map from the ristretto255 API.

    Input: msg, an arbitrary-length byte string.
    Output: P, an element of the ristretto255 group.

    Steps:
    1. uniform_bytes = expand_message(msg, DST, 64)
    2. P = ristretto255_map(uniform_bytes)
    3. return P

¶

Since hash_to_ristretto255 is not a hash-to-curve suite, it does not have a Suite ID. If a similar identifier is needed, it MUST be constructed following the guidelines in Section 8.10, with the following parameters:¶

- CURVE_ID: "ristretto255"¶
- HASH_ID: as described in Section 8.10¶
- MAP_ID: "R255MAP"¶
- ENC_VAR: "RO"¶

For example, if expand_message is expand_message_xmd using SHA-512, the REQUIRED identifier is:¶

    ristretto255_XMD:SHA-512_R255MAP_RO_

¶

## Appendix C. Hashing to decaf448

Similar to ristretto255, decaf448 [ristretto255-decaf448] provides a prime-order group based on curve448 [RFC7748]. This section describes hash_to_decaf448, which implements a random-oracle encoding to this group that has a uniform output distribution (Section 2.2.3) and the same security properties and interface as the hash_to_curve function (Section 3).¶

The decaf448 API defines a one-way map ([ristretto255-decaf448], Section 5.3.4); this section refers to that map as decaf448_map.¶

The hash_to_decaf448 function MUST be instantiated with an expand_message function that conforms to the requirements given in Section 5.3. In addition, it MUST use a domain separation tag constructed as described in Section 3.1, and all domain separation recommendations given in Section 10.7 apply when implementing protocols that use hash_to_decaf448.¶

    hash_to_decaf448(msg)

    Parameters:
    - DST, a domain separation tag (see discussion above).
    - expand_message, a function that expands a byte string and
      domain separation tag into a uniformly random byte string
      (see discussion above).
    - decaf448_map, the one-way map from the decaf448 API.

    Input: msg, an arbitrary-length byte string.
    Output: P, an element of the decaf448 group.

    Steps:
    1. uniform_bytes = expand_message(msg, DST, 112)
    2. P = decaf448_map(uniform_bytes)
    3. return P

¶

Since hash_to_decaf448 is not a hash-to-curve suite, it does not have a Suite ID. If a similar identifier is needed, it MUST be constructed following the guidelines in Section 8.10, with the following parameters:¶

- CURVE_ID: "decaf448"¶
- HASH_ID: as described in Section 8.10¶
- MAP_ID: "D448MAP"¶
- ENC_VAR: "RO"¶

For example, if expand_message is expand_message_xof using SHAKE256, the REQUIRED identifier is:¶

    decaf448_XOF:SHAKE256_D448MAP_RO_

¶

## Appendix D. Rational Maps

This section gives rational maps that can be used when hashing to twisted Edwards or Montgomery curves.¶

Given a twisted Edwards curve, Appendix D.1 shows how to derive a corresponding Montgomery curve and how to map from that curve to the twisted Edwards curve. This mapping may be used when hashing to twisted Edwards curves as described in Section 6.8.¶

Given a Montgomery curve, Appendix D.2 shows how to derive a corresponding Weierstrass curve and how to map from that curve to the Montgomery curve. This mapping can be used to hash to Montgomery or twisted Edwards curves via the Shallue-van de Woestijne method (Section 6.6.1) or Simplified SWU method (Section 6.6.2), as follows:¶

- For Montgomery curves, first map to the Weierstrass curve, then convert to Montgomery coordinates via the mapping.¶
- For twisted Edwards curves, compose the mapping from Weierstrass to Montgomery with the mapping from Montgomery to twisted Edwards (Appendix D.1) to obtain a Weierstrass curve and a mapping to the target twisted Edwards curve. Map to this Weierstrass curve, then convert to Edwards coordinates via the mapping.¶

### D.1. Generic Mapping from Montgomery to Twisted Edwards

This section gives a generic birational map between twisted Edwards and Montgomery curves.¶

The map in this section is a simplified version of the map given in [BBJLP08], Theorem 3.2. Specifically, this section's map handles exceptional cases in a simplified way that is geared towards hashing to a twisted Edwards curve's prime-order subgroup.¶

The twisted Edwards curve¶

        a * v^2 + w^2 = 1 + d * v^2 * w^2

¶

is birationally equivalent to the Montgomery curve¶

        K * t^2 = s^3 + J * s^2 + s

¶

which has the form required by the Elligator 2 mapping of Section 6.7.1. The coefficients of the Montgomery curve are¶

- J = 2 * (a + d) / (a - d)¶
- K = 4 / (a - d)¶

The rational map from the point (s, t) on the above Montgomery curve to the point (v, w) on the twisted Edwards curve is given by¶

- v = s / t¶
- w = (s - 1) / (s + 1)¶

This mapping is undefined when t == 0 or s == -1, i.e., when the denominator of either of the above rational functions is zero. Implementations MUST detect exceptional cases and return the value (v, w) = (0, 1), which is the identity point on all twisted Edwards curves.¶

The following straight-line implementation of the above rational map handles the exceptional cases.¶

    monty_to_edw_generic(s, t)

    Input: (s, t), a point on the curve K * t^2 = s^3 + J * s^2 + s.
    Output: (v, w), a point on an equivalent twisted Edwards curve.

    1. tv1 = s + 1
    2. tv2 = tv1 * t        # (s + 1) * t
    3. tv2 = inv0(tv2)      # 1 / ((s + 1) * t)
    4.   v = tv2 * tv1      # 1 / t
    5.   v = v * s          # s / t
    6.   w = tv2 * t        # 1 / (s + 1)
    7. tv1 = s - 1
    8.   w = w * tv1        # (s - 1) / (s + 1)
    9.   e = tv2 == 0
    10.  w = CMOV(w, 1, e)  # handle exceptional case
    11. return (v, w)

¶

For completeness, we also give the inverse relations. (Note that this map is not required when hashing to twisted Edwards curves.) The coefficients of the twisted Edwards curve corresponding to the above Montgomery curve are¶

- a = (J + 2) / K¶
- d = (J - 2) / K¶

The rational map from the point (v, w) on the twisted Edwards curve to the point (s, t) on the Montgomery curve is given by¶

- s = (1 + w) / (1 - w)¶
- t = (1 + w) / (v * (1 - w))¶

The mapping is undefined when v == 0 or w == 1. When the goal is to map into the prime-order subgroup of the Montgomery curve, it suffices to return the identity point on the Montgomery curve in the exceptional cases.¶

### D.2. Mapping from Weierstrass to Montgomery

The rational map from the point (s, t) on the Montgomery curve¶

        K * t^2 = s^3 + J * s^2 + s

¶

to the point (x, y) on the equivalent Weierstrass curve¶

        y^2 = x^3 + A * x + B

¶

is given by¶

- A = (3 - J^2) / (3 * K^2)¶
- B = (2 * J^3 - 9 * J) / (27 * K^3)¶
- x = (3 * s + J) / (3 * K)¶
- y = t / K¶

The inverse map, from the point (x, y) to the point (s, t), is given by¶

- s = (3 * K * x - J) / 3¶
- t = y * K¶

This mapping can be used to apply the Shallue-van de Woestijne method (Section 6.6.1) or Simplified SWU method (Section 6.6.2) to Montgomery curves.¶

## Appendix E. Isogeny Maps for Suites

This section specifies the isogeny maps for the secp256k1 and BLS12-381 suites listed in Section 8.¶

These maps are given in terms of affine coordinates. Wahby and Boneh ([WB19], Section 4.3) show how to evaluate these maps in a projective coordinate system (Appendix G.1), which avoids modular inversions.¶

## Appendix G. Curve-Specific Optimized Sample Code

This section gives sample implementations optimized for some of the elliptic curves listed in Section 8. Sample Sage code [SAGE] for each algorithm can also be found in [hash2curve-repo].¶

### G.1. Interface and Projective Coordinate Systems

The sample code in this section uses a different interface than the mappings of Section 6. Specifically, each mapping function in this section has the following signature:¶

        (xn, xd, yn, yd) = map_to_curve(u)

¶

The resulting affine point (x, y) is given by (xn / xd, yn / yd).¶

The reason for this modified interface is that it enables further optimizations when working with points in a projective coordinate system. This is desirable, for example, when the resulting point will be immediately multiplied by a scalar, since most scalar multiplication algorithms operate on projective points.¶

Projective coordinates are also useful when implementing random-oracle encodings (Section 3). One reason is that, in general, point addition is faster using projective coordinates. Another reason is that, for Weierstrass curves, projective coordinates allow using complete addition formulas [RCB16]. This is especially convenient when implementing a constant-time encoding, because it eliminates the need for a special case when Q0 == Q1, which incomplete addition formulas usually do not handle.¶

The following are two commonly used projective coordinate systems and the corresponding conversions:¶

- A point (X, Y, Z) in homogeneous projective coordinates corresponds to the affine point (x, y) = (X / Z, Y / Z); the inverse conversion is given by (X, Y, Z) = (x, y, 1). To convert (xn, xd, yn, yd) to homogeneous projective coordinates, compute (X, Y, Z) = (xn * yd, yn * xd, xd * yd).¶
- A point (X', Y', Z') in Jacobian projective coordinates corresponds to the affine point (x, y) = (X' / Z'^2, Y' / Z'^3); the inverse conversion is given by (X', Y', Z') = (x, y, 1). To convert (xn, xd, yn, yd) to Jacobian projective coordinates, compute (X', Y', Z') = (xn * xd * yd^2, yn * yd^2 * xd^3, xd * yd).¶

### G.3. Cofactor Clearing for BLS12-381 G2

The curve BLS12-381, whose parameters are defined in Section 8.8.2, admits an efficiently computable endomorphism, psi, that can be used to speed up cofactor clearing for G2 [SBCDK09] [FKR11] [BP17] (see also Section 7). This section implements the endomorphism psi and a fast cofactor clearing method described by Budroni and Pintore [BP17].¶

The functions in this section operate on points whose coordinates are represented as ratios, i.e., (xn, xd, yn, yd) corresponds to the point (xn / xd, yn / yd); see Appendix G.1 for further discussion of projective coordinates. When points are represented in affine coordinates, one can simply ignore the denominators (xd == 1 and yd == 1).¶

The following function computes the Frobenius endomorphism for an element of F = GF(p^2) with basis (1, I), where I^2 + 1 == 0 in F. (This is the base field of the elliptic curve E defined in Section 8.8.2.)¶

    frobenius(x)

    Input: x, an element of GF(p^2).
    Output: a, an element of GF(p^2).

    Notation: x = x0 + I * x1, where x0 and x1 are elements of GF(p).

    Steps:
    1. a = x0 - I * x1
    2. return a

    Output: Q, a point on the same curve.

    Constants:
    1. c1 = 1 / (1 + I)^((p - 1) / 3)           # in GF(p^2)
    2. c2 = 1 / (1 + I)^((p - 1) / 2)           # in GF(p^2)

    Steps:
    1. qxn = c1 * frobenius(xn)
    2. qxd = frobenius(xd)
    3. qyn = c2 * frobenius(yn)

    Constants:

    Steps:
    1. qxn = c1 * xn
    2. qyn = -yn
    3. return (qxn, xd, qyn, yd)

¶

The following function maps any point on the elliptic curve E (Section 8.8.2) into the prime-order subgroup G2. This function returns a point equal to h_eff * P, where h_eff is the parameter given in Section 8.8.2.¶

    clear_cofactor_bls12381_g2(P)

    Input: P, a point (xn / xd, yn / yd) on the curve E (see above).
    Output: Q, a point in the subgroup G2 of BLS12-381.

    Constants:
    1. c1 = -15132376222941642752       # the BLS parameter for BLS12-381
                                        # i.e., -0xd201000000010000

    Notation: in this procedure, + and - represent elliptic curve point
    addition and subtraction, respectively, and * represents scalar
    multiplication.

    Steps:
    1.  t1 = c1 * P
    2.  t2 = psi(P)
    3.  t3 = 2 * P
    4.  t3 = psi2(t3)
    5.  t3 = t3 - t2
    6.  t2 = t1 + t2
    7.  t2 = c1 * t2
    8.  t3 = t3 + t2
    9.  t3 = t3 - t1

    - F, a finite field of characteristic p and order q = p^m.

    Input: x, an element of F.
    Output: z, an element of F such that (z^2) == x, if x is square in F.

    Constants:
    1. c1 = sqrt(-1) in F, i.e., (c1^2) == -1 in F
    2. c2 = sqrt(c1) in F, i.e., (c2^2) == c1 in F
    3. c3 = sqrt(-c1) in F, i.e., (c3^2) == -c1 in F
    4. c4 = (q + 7) / 16         # Integer arithmetic

    Procedure:
    1. tv1 = x^c4
    2. tv2 = c1 * tv1
    3. tv3 = c2 * tv1
    4. tv4 = c3 * tv1
    5.  e1 = (tv2^2) == x
    6.  e2 = (tv3^2) == x
    7. tv1 = CMOV(tv1, tv2, e1)  # Select tv2 if (tv2^2) == x
    8. tv2 = CMOV(tv4, tv3, e2)  # Select tv3 if (tv3^2) == x
    9.  e3 = (tv2^2) == x
    10.  z = CMOV(tv1, tv2, e3)  # Select the sqrt from tv1 and tv2
    11. return z

### I.4. Constant-Time Tonelli-Shanks Algorithm

This algorithm is a constant-time version of the classic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm ([C93], Algorithm 1.5.1) due to Sean Bowe, Jack Grigg, and Eirik Ogilvie-Wigley [jubjub-fq], adapted and optimized by Michael Scott.¶

This algorithm applies to GF(p) for any p. Note, however, that the special-purpose algorithms given in the prior sections are faster, when they apply.¶

    sqrt_ts_ct(x)

    Parameters:
    - F, a finite field of characteristic p and order q = p^m.

    Input x, an element of F.
    Output: z, an element of F such that z^2 == x, if x is square in F.

    Constants:
    1. c1, the largest integer such that 2^c1 divides q - 1.
    2. c2 = (q - 1) / (2^c1)        # Integer arithmetic
    3. c3 = (c2 - 1) / 2            # Integer arithmetic
    4. c4, a non-square value in F
    5. c5 = c4^c2 in F

    Procedure:
    1.  z = x^c3
    2.  t = z * z
    3.  t = t * x
    4.  z = z * x
    5.  b = t
    6.  c = c5
    7.  for i in (c1, c1 - 1, ..., 2):
    8.    for j in (1, 2, ..., i - 2):
    9.      b = b * b
    10.   e = b == 1
    11.   zt = z * c
    12.   z = CMOV(zt, z, e)
    13.   c = c * c
    14.   tt = t * c
    15.   t = CMOV(tt, t, e)
    16.   b = t
    17. return z

### I.5. is_square for F = GF(p^2)

The following is_square method applies to any field F = GF(p^2) with basis (1, I) represented as described in Section 2.1, i.e., an element x = (x_1, x_2) = x_1 + x_2 * I.¶

Other optimizations of this type are possible in other extension fields; see, for example, [AR13] for more information.¶

    is_square(x)

    Parameters:
    - F, an extension field of characteristic p and order q = p^2
      with basis (1, I).

    Input: x, an element of F.
    Output: True if x is square in F, and False otherwise.

    Constants:
    1. c1 = (p - 1) / 2         # Integer arithmetic

    Procedure:
    1. tv1 = x_1^2
    2. tv2 = I * x_2
    3. tv2 = tv2^2
    4. tv1 = tv1 - tv2
    5. tv1 = tv1^c1
    6.  e1 = tv1 != -1          # Note: -1 in F
    7. return e1

## Appendix J. Suite Test Vectors

This section gives test vectors for each suite defined in Section 8. The test vectors in this section were generated using code that is available from [hash2curve-repo].¶

Each test vector in this section lists values computed by the appropriate encoding function, with variable names defined as in Section 3. For example, for a suite whose encoding type is random oracle, the test vector gives the value for msg, u, Q0, Q1, and the output point P.¶

## Appendix K. Expand Test Vectors

This section gives test vectors for expand_message variants specified in Section 5.3. The test vectors in this section were generated using code that is available from [hash2curve-repo].¶

Each test vector in this section lists the expand_message name, hash function, and DST, along with a series of tuples of the function inputs (msg and len_in_bytes), output (uniform_bytes), and intermediate values (dst_prime and msg_prime). DST and msg are represented as ASCII strings. Intermediate and output values are represented as byte strings in hexadecimal.¶
