                Generic Raw Public Key Support for IKEv2
                draft-kivinen-ipsecme-oob-pubkey-14.txt

Abstract

   The Internet Key Exchange Version 2 (IKEv2) protocol did have support
   for raw public keys, but it only supported RSA Raw public keys.  In
   constrained environments it is useful to make use of other types of
   public keys, such as those based on Elliptic Curve Cryptography.
   This document updates RFC 7296, adding support for other types of raw
   public keys to IKEv2.

1.  Introduction

   This document replaces an algorithm-specific version of raw public
   keys of Internet Key Exchange Version 2 (IKEv2) [RFC7296] with a
   generic version of raw public keys that is algorithm agnostic.

   In [RFC5996] IKEv2 had support for PKCS #1 encoded RSA keys, i.e., a
   DER-encoded RSAPublicKey structure (see [RSA] and [RFC3447]).  Other
   raw public key types are, however, not supported.  In [RFC7296] this
   feature was removed, and this document adds support for raw public
   keys back to IKEv2 in a more generic way.

   DNSSEC allows public keys to be associated with domain names for
   usage with security protocols like IKEv2 and Transport Layer Security
   (TLS) [RFC5246] but it relies on extensions in those protocols to be
   specified.

   The Raw Public Keys in Transport Layer Security specification
   ([RFC7250]) adds generic support for raw public keys to TLS by re-
   using the SubjectPublicKeyInfo format from the X.509 Public Key
   Infrastructure Certificate profile [RFC5280].

   This document is similar to the Raw Public Keys in Transport Layer
   Security specification and applies the concept to IKEv2 to support
   all public key formats defined by PKIX.  This approach also allows
   future public key extensions to be supported without the need to
   introduce further enhancements to IKEv2.

Internet-Draft  Generic Raw Public Key Support for IKEv2    October 2015


   To support new types of public keys in IKEv2 the following changes
   are needed:

   o  A new Certificate Encoding format needs to be defined for carrying
      the SubjectPublicKeyInfo structure.  Section 3 specifies this new
      encoding format.

   o  A new Certificate Encoding type needs to be allocated from the
      IANA registry.  Section 5 contains this request to IANA.

   The base IKEv2 specification includes support for RSA and DSA
   signatures, but the Signature Authentication in IKEv2 [RFC7427]
   extended IKEv2 so that signature methods over any key type can be
   used.  Implementations using raw public keys SHOULD use the Digital
   Signature method described in the RFC7427.

   When using raw public keys, the authenticated identity is not usually
   the identity from the ID payload, but instead the public key itself
   is used as identity for the other end.  This means that ID payload
   contents might not be useful for authentication purposes.  It might
   still be used for policy decisions, for example to simplify the
   policy lookup etc.  Alternatively, the ID_NULL type [RFC7619] can be
   used to indicate that the ID payload is not relevant to this
   authentication.

2.  Terminology

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].

3.  Certificate Encoding Payload

   Section 3.6 of RFC 7296 defines the Certificate payload format as
   shown in Figure 1.

   To support raw public keys, the field values are as follows:

   o  Certificate Encoding (1 octet) - This field indicates the type of
      certificate or certificate-related information contained in the
      Certificate Data field.

      Certificate Encoding                 Value
      ----------------------------------------------------
      Raw Public Key                       TBD

   o  Certificate Data (variable length) - Actual encoding of the
      certificate data.

   In order to provide a simple and standard way to indicate the key
   type when the encoding type is 'Raw Public Key', the
   SubjectPublicKeyInfo structure of the PKIX certificate is used.  This
   is a very simple encoding, as most of the ASN.1 part can be included
   literally, and recognized by block comparison.  See [RFC7250]
   Appendix A for a detailed breakdown.  In addition, Appendix A has
   several examples.

   In addition to the Certificate payload, the Cert Encoding for Raw
   Public Key can be used in the Certificate Request payload.  In that
   case the Certification Authority field MUST be empty if the "Raw
   Public Key" certificate encoding is used.

   For RSA keys, the implementations MUST follow the public key
   processing rules of section 1.2 of the Additional Algorithms and
   Identifiers for RSA Cryptography for PKIX ([RFC4055]) even when the
   SubjectPublicKeyInfo is not part of a certificate, but rather sent as
   a Certificate Data field.  This means that RSASSA-PSS and RSASSA-PSS-
   params inside the SubjectPublicKeyInfo structure MUST be sent when
   applicable.

4.  Security Considerations

   An IKEv2 deployment using raw public keys needs to utilize an out-of-
   band public key validation procedure to be confident in the
   authenticity of the keys being used.  One way to achieve this goal is
   to use a configuration mechanism for provisioning raw public keys
   into the IKEv2 software.  "Smart object" deployments are likely to
   use such preconfigured public keys.

   Another approach is to rely on secure DNS to associate public keys
   with domain names using the IPSECKEY DNS RRtype [RFC4025].  More
   information can be found in DNS-Based Authentication of Named
   Entities (DANE) [RFC6394].

   This document does not change the security assumptions made by the
   IKEv2 specification since "Raw RSA Key" support was already available
   in IKEv2 in [RFC5996].  This document only generalizes raw public key
   support.

5.  IANA Considerations

   This document allocates a new value from the IKEv2 Certificate
   Encodings registry:

   TBD      Raw Public Key

Appendix A.  Examples

   This appendix provides examples of the actual payloads sent on the
   wire.

A.1.  ECDSA Example

   This first example uses the 256-bit ECDSA private/public key pair
   defined in section 8.1 of the IKEv2 ECDSA document [RFC4754].

   The public key is as follows:

   o  Algorithm : id-ecPublicKey (1.2.840.10045.2.1)

   o  Fixed curve: secp256r1 (1.2.840.10045.3.1.7)

   o  Public key x coordinate : cb28e099 9b9c7715 fd0a80d8 e47a7707
      9716cbbf 917dd72e 97566ea1 c066957c

   o  Public key y coordinate : 2b57c023 5fb74897 68d058ff 4911c20f
      dbe71e36 99d91339 afbb903e e17255dc

   The SubjectPublicKeyInfo ASN.1 object is as follows:

   0000 :     SEQUENCE
   0002 :       SEQUENCE
   0004 :         OBJECT IDENTIFIER  id-ecPublicKey (1.2.840.10045.2.1)
   000d :         OBJECT IDENTIFIER  secp256r1 (1.2.840.10045.3.1.7)
   0017 :       BIT STRING  (66 bytes)
   00000000: 0004 cb28 e099 9b9c 7715 fd0a 80d8 e47a
   00000010: 7707 9716 cbbf 917d d72e 9756 6ea1 c066
   00000020: 957c 2b57 c023 5fb7 4897 68d0 58ff 4911
   00000030: c20f dbe7 1e36 99d9 1339 afbb 903e e172
   00000040: 55dc

   The first byte (00) of the bit string indicates that there is no
   "number of unused bits", and the second byte (04) indicates
   uncompressed form ([RFC5480]).  Those two octets are followed by the
   values of X and Y.

   The final encoded SubjectPublicKeyInfo object is as follows:

   00000000: 3059 3013 0607 2a86 48ce 3d02 0106 082a
   00000010: 8648 ce3d 0301 0703 4200 04cb 28e0 999b
   00000020: 9c77 15fd 0a80 d8e4 7a77 0797 16cb bf91

   00000050: d913 39af bb90 3ee1 7255 dc

   This will result in the final IKEv2 Certificate Payload:

   00000000: NN00 0060 XX30 5930 1306 072a 8648 ce3d
   00000010: 0201 0608 2a86 48ce 3d03 0107 0342 0004
   00000020: cb28 e099 9b9c 7715 fd0a 80d8 e47a 7707
   00000030: 9716 cbbf 917d d72e 9756 6ea1 c066 957c
   00000040: 2b57 c023 5fb7 4897 68d0 58ff 4911 c20f
   00000050: dbe7 1e36 99d9 1339 afbb 903e e172 55dc

   Where NN is the next payload type (i.e., the type of the payload that
   immediately follows this Certificate payload).

   Note to the RFC editor / IANA, replace the XX above with the newly
   allocated Raw Public Key number (in hex notation), and remove this
   note.

A.2.  RSA Example

   This second example uses a random 1024-bit RSA key.

   The public key is as follows:

   o  Algorithm : rsaEncryption (1.2.840.113549.1.1.1)

   o  Modulus n (1024 bits, decimal):
      1323562071162740912417075551025599045700

   o  Exponent e (17 bits, decimal): 65537

   o  Exponent e (17 bits, hexadecimal): 10001

   The SubjectPublicKeyInfo ASN.1 object is as follows:

   0000 :     SEQUENCE
   0003 :       SEQUENCE
   0005 :         OBJECT IDENTIFIER rsaEncryption (1.2.840.113549.1.1.1)
   0016 :         NULL
   0018 :       BIT STRING  (141 bytes)
   00000000: 0030 8189 0281 8100 bc7b 4347 49c7 b386
   00000010: 00bf a84b 44f8 8187 9a2d da08 d1f0 145a
   00000020: f580 6c2a ed6a 6172 ff0d c3d4 cd60 1638
   00000030: e8ca 348e bdca 5742 31ca dc97 12e2 09b1
   00000040: fddb a58a 8c62 b369 038a 3d1e aa72 7c1f
   00000050: 39ae 49ed 6ebc 30f8 d9b5 2e23 385a 4019
   00000060: 1585 8c59 be72 f343 fb1e b87b 16ff c5ab
   00000070: 0f8f 8fe9 f7cb 3e66 3d8f e9f9 ecfa 1230
   00000080: 66f3 6835 8cea efd3 0203 0100 01

   The first byte (00) of the bit string indicates that there is no
   "number of unused bits".  Inside that bit string there is an ASN.1
   sequence having 2 integers.  The second byte (30) indicates that this
   is beginning of the sequence, and the next byte (81) indicates the
   length does not fit in 7 bits, but requires one byte, so the length
   is in the next byte (89).  Then starts the first integer with tag
   (02) and length (81 81).  After that we have the modulus (prefixed
   with 0 so it will not be a negative number).  After the modulus there
   follows the tag (02) and length (03) of the exponent, and the last 3
   bytes are the exponent.

   The final encoded SubjectPublicKeyInfo object is as follows:

   00000000: 3081 9f30 0d06 092a 8648 86f7 0d01 0101
   00000010: 0500 0381 8d00 3081 8902 8181 00bc 7b43
   00000020: 4749 c7b3 8600 bfa8 4b44 f881 879a 2dda
   00000030: 08d1 f014 5af5 806c 2aed 6a61 72ff 0dc3
   00000040: d4cd 6016 38e8 ca34 8ebd ca57 4231 cadc
   00000050: 9712 e209 b1fd dba5 8a8c 62b3 6903 8a3d
   00000060: 1eaa 727c 1f39 ae49 ed6e bc30 f8d9 b52e
   00000070: 2338 5a40 1915 858c 59be 72f3 43fb 1eb8
   00000080: 7b16 ffc5 ab0f 8f8f e9f7 cb3e 663d 8fe9
   00000090: f9ec fa12 3066 f368 358c eaef d302 0301
   000000a0: 0001

   This will result in the final IKEv2 Certificate Payload:

   Where NN is the next payload type (i.e., the type of the payload that
   immediately follows this Certificate payload).

   Note to the RFC editor / IANA, replace the XX above with the newly
   allocated Raw Public Key number, and remove this note.
