1. Introduction
The HKDF algorithm [RFC5869] is a key derivation function based on
the Hashed Message Authentication Code (HMAC). This document assigns
algorithm identifiers to the HKDF algorithm when used with three
common one-way hash functions. These algorithm identifiers are
needed to make use of the HKDF in some security protocols, such as
the The Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) [RFC5652].
1.1. Terminology
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP
14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.
1.2. ASN.1
In this specification, values are generated using ASN.1 [X.680] using
the Basic Encoding Rules (BER) and the Distinguished Encoding Rules
(DER) [X.690].
2. HKDF Algorithm Identifiers
This section assigns algorithm identifier to HKDF [RFC5869] used with
three common one-way hash functions that are specified in [SHS],
SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512. When any of these three object
identifiers appears within the ASN.1 type AlgorithmIdentifier, the
parameters component of that type SHALL be absent.
The specification of AlgorithmIdentifier is available in [RFC5911],
which is an evolution from the original definition in X.509
[X.509-88].

The assigned object identifiers are:
id-alg-hkdf-with-sha256 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) member-body(2)
us(840) rsadsi(113549) pkcs(1) pkcs-9(9) smime(16) alg(3) TBD1 }

us(840) rsadsi(113549) pkcs(1) pkcs-9(9) smime(16) alg(3) TBD3 }
3. ASN.1 Module
This section contains the ASN.1 module for the HKDF algorithm
identifiers. This module imports types from other ASN.1 modules that
are defined in [RFC5912].

4. Security Considerations
In spite of the simplicity of HKDF, there are many security
considerations that have been taken into account in the design and
analysis of this construction. An exposition of all of these aspects
is well beyond the scope of this document. Please refer to [EPRINT]
for detailed information, including rationale for the HKDF design.
5. IANA Considerations
One object identifier for the ASN.1 module in the Section 3 was
assigned in the SMI Security for S/MIME Module Identifiers
(1.2.840.113549.1.9.16.0) [IANA-MOD] registry:
id-mod-hkdf-oid-2019 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
iso(1) member-body(2) us(840) rsadsi(113549) pkcs(1)
pkcs-9(9) smime(16) mod(0) TBD0 }
Three object identifiers for the HKDF algorithm identifiers were
assigned in the SMI Security for S/MIME Mail Security Algorithms
