Network Working Group V. Cakulev Internet-Draft G. Sundaram Intended status: Informational Alcatel Lucent Expires: September 11, 2011 March 10, 2011 MIKEY-IBAKE: Identity-Based Mode of Key Distribution in Multimedia Internet KEYing (MIKEY) draft-cakulev-mikey-ibake-06.txt Abstract This document describes a key management protocol variant for the multimedia Internet keying (MIKEY) protocol which relies on a trusted key management service. In particular, this variant utilizes Identity Based Authenticated Key Exchange framework which allows the participating clients to perform mutual authentication and derive a session key in an asymmetric identity based encryption framework. This protocol, in addition to providing mutual authentication, eliminates the key escrow problem that is common in standard Identity Based Encryption and provides perfect forward and backward secrecy.

Introduction The Multimedia Internet Keying (MIKEY) [RFC3830] specification describes several modes of key distribution solution that address multimedia scenarios using pre-shared keys, public keys, and optionally a Diffie-Hellman key exchange. Multiple extensions of MIKEY have been specified, such as HMAC-Authenticated Diffie-Hellman [RFC4650] and MIKEY-RSA-R [RFC4738]. To address deployment scenarios in which security systems serve a large number of users, a key management service is often preferred. With such a service in place, it would be possible for a user to request credentials for any other user when they are needed. Some proposed solutions [I-D.mattsson-mikey-ticket] rely on Key Management Services (KMS) in the network that create, distribute, and manage keys in a real time. Due to this broad functionality, key management services would have to be online, maintain high availability, and have to be networked across operator boundaries. This document describes a solution in which KMS's are low availability servers that communicate with end-user clients periodically (e.g., once a month). The on-line transactions between the end-user clients (for media plane security) are based on Identity Based Encryption [BF]. These on-line transactions between the end- user clients allow them to perform mutual authentication and derive a session key not known to any external entity (including KMS's). This protocol, in addition to providing keys not known to any external entity, and allowing for end-user clients to mutually authenticate each other (at the media plane layer), provides perfect forward and backward secrecy. In this protocol the KMS to client exchange is used sparingly (e.g., once a month) - hence the KMS is no longer required to be a high availability server, and in particular different KMS's don't have to communicate with each other (across operator boundaries). Moreover, given that an identity-based encryption is used, the need for costly Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and all the operational costs of certificate management and revocation are eliminated. This is achieved by concatenating public keys with a date field, thereby ensuring corresponding private keys change with the date, and more importantly limiting the damage due to loss of a private key to just that date while not requiring endpoints involved in communication to be time synchronized. The granularity in the date field is a matter of security policy and deployment scenario. For instance, an operator may choose to use one key per day and hence the KMS may issue private keys for a whole subscription cycle at the beginning of a subscription cycle. Therefore, unlike in the PKI systems, where issued certificate is typically valid for period of time thereby requiring revocation procedures to limit their validity, the scheme described in this document uses time-bound Cakulev & Sundaram Expires September 11, 2011 [Page 3] Internet-Draft MIKEY-IBAKE March 2011 public identities, which automatically expire at the end of a time span indicated in the identity itself. With the self-expiration of the public identities, the traditional real time validity verification and revocation is not required. For example, if the public identity is bound to one day, than at the end of the day the public/private key pair issued to this peer will simply not be valid anymore. Nevertheless, just like with public-key based certificate systems, if there is a need to revoke keys before the designated expiry time, communication with a third party will be needed. Additionally, various call scenarios are securely supported - this includes secure forking, retargeting, deferred delivery and pre- encoded content. MIKEY is widely used in the 3GPP community. This specification is intended primarily for use with 3GPP media security, but may also be applicable in Internet applications.

Use Case Scenarios This section describes some of the use case scenarios supported by MIKEY-IBAKE, in addition to regular two party communication. 3.1. Forking Forking is the delivery of a request (e.g., SIP INVITE message) to multiple end points. This happens when a single user is registered more than once. An example of forking is when a user has a desk phone, PC client, and mobile handset all registered with the same public identity. +---+ +-------+ +---+ +---+ | A | | PROXY | | B | | C | +---+ +-------+ +---+ +---+ Request --------------------> Request --------------------> Request -------------------------------------> Figure 1: Forking 3.2. Retargeting Retargeting is a scenario in which a functional element decides to redirect the session to a different destination. This decision to redirect a session may be made for different reasons by a number of different functional elements, and at different points in the establishment of the session. There are two basic scenarios of session redirection. In scenario one, a functional element (e.g., Proxy) decides to redirect the session by passing the new destination information to the originator. As a result the originator initiates a new session to the redirected destination provided by the Proxy. For the case of MIKEY-IBAKE this means that the originator will initiate a new session with the identity of the redirected destination. This scenario is depicted in Figure 2 below. Cakulev & Sundaram Expires September 11, 2011 [Page 7] Internet-Draft MIKEY-IBAKE March 2011 +---+ +-------+ +---+ +---+ | A | | PROXY | | B | | C | +---+ +-------+ +---+ +---+ Request --------------------> Request --------------------> Redirect <-------------------- Redirect <------------------- Request ----------------------------------------------------------> Figure 2: Retargeting In the second scenario, a proxy decides to redirect the session without informing the originator. This is a common scenario specified in SIP [RFC3261]. 3.3. Deferred Delivery Deferred delivery is a type of service such that the session content cannot be delivered to the destination at the time that it is being sent (e.g., the destination user is not currently online). Nevertheless, the sender expects the network to deliver the message as soon as the recipient becomes available. A typical example of deferred delivery is voicemail. Cakulev & Sundaram Expires September 11, 2011 [Page 8] Internet-Draft MIKEY-IBAKE March 2011 4. MIKEY-IBAKE Protocol Description 4.1. Overview Most of the previously defined MIKEY modes consist of a single (or half) roundtrip between two peers. MIKEY-IBAKE consists of up to three roundtrips. In the first roundtrip, users (Initiator and Responder) obtain their Private Key(s) (K_PR) from the KMS. This roundtrip can be performed at anytime, and as explained earlier takes place for example once a month (or once per subscription cycle). The second and the third roundtrip are between the Initiator and the Responder. Observe that the Key Management Service is only involved in the first roundtrip. In Figure 3, a conceptual signaling diagram for the MIKEY-IBAKE mode is depicted. +---+ +------+ +------+ +---+ | I | | KMS1 | | KMS2 | | R | +---+ +------+ +------+ +---+ REQUEST_KEY_INIT REQUEST_KEY_INIT ------------------> <---------------------- REQUEST_KEY_RESP REQUEST_KEY_RESP <------------------ ----------------------> I_MESSAGE_1 -----------------------------------------------------------> R_MESSAGE_1 <----------------------------------------------------------- I_MESSAGE_2 -----------------------------------------------------------> R_MESSAGE_2 <----------------------------------------------------------- Figure 3: Example Message Exchange The Initiator (I) wants to establish a secure media session with the Responder (R). The Initiator and the Responder trust a third party, the Key Management Service (KMS), with which they both have, or can establish, shared credentials. These pre-established trust relations are used by a user (i.e., Initiator and Responder) to obtain private keys. Rather than a single KMS, several different KMSs may be involved, e.g. one for the Initiator and one for the Responder as shown in Figure 3 above. The Initiator and the Responder do not share any credentials; however, the Initiator knows Responder's public identity. The assumed trust model is illustrated in Figure 4. Cakulev & Sundaram Expires September 11, 2011 [Page 9] Internet-Draft MIKEY-IBAKE March 2011 +---+ +------+ +------+ +---+ | I | | KMS1 | | KMS2 | | R | +---+ +------+ +------+ +---+ Pre-established Pre-established trust relation trust relation <-----------------> <---------------------> Security association based on mutual authentication performed during MIKEY-IBAKE exchange <----------------------------------------------------------> Figure 4: Trust Model Below, a description of how private keys are obtained using MIKEY messages is provided. An alternative way for obtaining private keys using HTTP is described in [RFC5408]. The Initiator obtains Private Key(s) from the KMS by sending a REQUEST_KEY_INIT message. The REQUEST_KEY_INIT message includes Initiator's public identity(s) (if the Initiator has more than one public identity it may request Private Keys for every identity registered) and is protected via a MAC based on a pre-shared key or via a signature (similar to the MIKEY-PSK and MIKEY-RSA modes). If the request is authorized, the KMS generates the requested keys, encodes them, and returns them in a REQUEST_KEY_RESP message. This exchange takes place periodically and does not need to be performed every time an Initiator needs to establish a secure connection with a Responder. The Initiator next chooses a random x and computes [x]P, where P is a point on elliptic curve E known to all users. The Initiator uses the Responder's public identity to generate Responder's public key (e.g., K_PUBr=H1(IDRr||date)), where Hi is hash function known to all users, and the granularity in date is a matter of security policy and known publicly. The Initiator then uses this generated public key to encrypt [x]P, IDRi and IDRr and includes this encrypted information in a I_MESSAGE_1 message, which is sent to the Responder. The encryption is Identity Based Encryption (IBE) as specified in [RFC5091] and [RFC5408]. The Responder in turn IBE-decrypts the received message using its private key for that date, chooses random y and computes [y]P. Next, the Responder uses Initiator's identity obtained from I_MESSAGE_1 to generate Initiator's public key (e.g., K_PUBi=H1(IDRi||date)) and IBE-encrypts (IDRi, IDRr, [x]P, [y]P) using K_PUBi, and includes it in R_MESSAGE_1 message sent to the Initiator. At this point the Responder is able to generate the session key as [x][y]P. This session key is then used to generate TGK Cakulev & Sundaram Expires September 11, 2011 [Page 10] Internet-Draft MIKEY-IBAKE March 2011 as specified in Section 5.1. The Initiator upon receiving and IBE-decrypting R_MESSAGE_1 message verifies the received [x]P. At this point the Initiator is able to generate the same session key as [x][y]P. Upon successful verification, the Initiator sends I_MESSAGE_2 message to the Responder, including IBE-encrypted IDRi, IDRr and previously received [y]P. The Responder sends a R_MESSAGE_2 message to the Initiator as verification. The above described is the most typical use case; in Section 3, some alternative use cases are discussed. MIKEY-IBAKE is based on [RFC3830], therefore the same terminology, processing and considerations still apply unless otherwise stated. Payloads containing EC Diffie-Hellman values and keys exchanged in I_MESSAGE/R_MESSAGE are IBE encrypted as specified in [RFC5091] and [RFC5408], while the keys exchanged in KEY_REQUES_INIT/ KEY_REQUEST_RESPONSE are encrypted as specified in [RFC3830]. In all exchanges encryption is only applied to the payloads containing keys and EC Diffie-Hellman values and not to the entire messages. 4.2. Message Exchanges and Processing 4.2.1. REQUEST_KEY_INIT/REQUEST_KEY_RESP Message Exchange This exchange is used by a user (e.g. Initiator or Responder) to request private keys from a trusted Key Management Service, with which the user has pre-shared credentials. A full roundtrip is required for a user to receive keys. As this message must ensure the identity of the user to the KMS, it is protected via a MAC based on a pre-shared key or via a signature. The initiation message REQUEST_KEY_INIT comes in two variants corresponding to the pre- shared key (PSK) and public-key encryption (PKE) methods of [RFC3830]. The response message REQUEST_KEY_RESP is the same for the two variants and SHALL be protected by using the pre-shared/envelope key indicated in the REQUEST_KEY_INIT message. Cakulev & Sundaram Expires September 11, 2011 [Page 11] Internet-Draft MIKEY-IBAKE March 2011 Initiator/Responder KMS REQUEST_KEY_INIT_PSK = ----> HDR, T, RAND, (IDRi/r), IDRkms, [IDRpsk], [KEMAC], V <---- REQUEST_KEY_RESP = HDR, T, [IDRi/r], [IDRkms], KEMAC, V REQUEST_KEY_INIT_PKE = ----> HDR, T, RAND, (IDRi/r), {CERTi/r}, IDRkms, <---- REQUEST_KEY_RESP = [KEMAC], [CHASH], HDR, T, [IDRi/r], [IDRkms], PKE, SIGNi/r KEMAC, V 4.2.1.1. Components of the REQUEST_KEY_INIT Message The main objective of the REQUEST_KEY_INIT message is for a user to request one or more Private Keys (K_PR) from the KMS. The user may request a K_PR for each public identity it possesses, as well as for multiple dates. The REQUEST_KEY_INIT message MUST always include the Header (HDR), Timestamp (T), and RAND payloads. The CSB ID (Crypto Session Bundle ID) SHALL be assigned as in [RFC3830]. The user SHALL include it in the CSB ID field of the Header. The user SHALL set the #CS field to '0' since CS (Crypto Session(s)) SHALL NOT be handled. The CS ID map type SHALL be the "Empty map" as defined in [RFC4563]. IDRi/r contains the identity of the user. Since the user may have multiple identities, multiple IDRi/r fields may appear in the message. IDRkms SHALL be included. The KEMAC payload SHALL be used only when the user needs to use specific keys. Otherwise, this payload SHALL NOT be used. 4.2.1.1.1. Components of the REQUEST_KEY_INIT_PSK Message The IDRpsk payload MAY be used to indicate the pre-shared key used. The last payload SHALL be a Verification payload (V) where the authentication key (auth_key) is derived from the pre-shared key (see Section 4.1.4 of [RFC3830] for key derivation specification). Cakulev & Sundaram Expires September 11, 2011 [Page 12] Internet-Draft MIKEY-IBAKE March 2011 4.2.1.1.2. Components of the REQUEST_KEY_INIT_PKE Message The certificate CERT payload SHOULD be included. If a certificate chain is to be provided, each certificate in the chain MUST be included in a separate CERT payload. The PKE payload contains the encrypted envelope key: PKE = E(PKkms, env_key). It is encrypted using the KMS's public key (PKkms). If the KMS possesses several public keys, the user can indicate the key used in the CHASH payload. SIGNi/r is a signature covering the entire MIKEY message, using the Initiator's signature key. 4.2.1.2. Processing of the REQUEST_KEY_INIT Message If the KMS can verify the integrity of the received message and the message can be correctly parsed, the KMS MUST check the Initiator's authorization. If the Initiator is authorized to receive the requested private key(s), the KMS MUST send a REQUEST_KEY_RESP message. Unexpected payloads in the REQUEST_KEY_INIT message SHOULD be ignored. Errors are handled as described in [RFC3830]. 4.2.1.3. Components of the REQUEST_KEY_RESP Message The version, PRF func and CSB ID, #CS, and CS ID map type fields in the HDR payload SHALL be identical to the corresponding fields in the REQUEST_KEY_INIT message. The KMS SHALL set the V flag to 0 and the user receiving it SHALL ignore it as it has no meaning in this context. The timestamp type and value SHALL be identical to the one used in the REQUEST_KEY_INIT message. KEMAC = E(encr_key, (ID || K_PR)) The KEMAC payload SHOULD use the NULL authentication algorithm, as a MAC is included in the V payload. Depending on the type of REQUEST_KEY_INIT message, either the pre-shared key or the envelope key SHALL be used to derive the encr_key. The last payload SHALL be a Verification payload (V). Depending on the type of REQUEST_KEY_INIT message, either the pre-shared key or the envelope key SHALL be used to derive the auth_key. Cakulev & Sundaram Expires September 11, 2011 [Page 13] Internet-Draft MIKEY-IBAKE March 2011 4.2.1.4. Processing of the REQUEST_KEY_RESP Message If the Initiator/Responder can correctly parse the received message, the received session information SHOULD be stored. Otherwise the Initiator/Responder SHOULD silently discard the message and abort the protocol. 4.2.2. I_MESSAGE/R_MESSAGE Message Exchanges This exchange is used for Initiator and Responder to mutually authenticate each other and to exchange EC Diffie-Hellman values used to generate TGK. These exchanges are modeled after the pre-shared key mode, with the exception that the Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman values and Secret Keys (SKs) are encoded in IBAKE and ESK payloads instead of a KEMAC payload. Two full roundtrips are required for this exchange to successfully complete. The messages are preferably included in the session setup signaling (e.g. SIP INVITE). Initiator Responder I_MESSAGE_1 = ----> HDR, T, RAND, IDRi, IDRr, IBAKE, [ESK] <---- R_MESSAGE_1 = HDR, T, IDRi, IDRr, IBAKE I_MESSAGE_2 = ----> HDR, T, RAND, IDRi, IDRr, IBAKE, [ESK] <---- R_MESSAGE_2 = HDR, T, [IDRi], [IDRr], [IBAKE], V 4.2.2.1. Components of the I_MESSAGE_1 Message The I_MESSAGE_1 message MUST always include the Header (HDR), Timestamp (T), and RAND payloads. The CSB ID (Crypto Session Bundle ID) SHALL be randomly selected by the Initiator. As the R_MESSAGE_1 message is mandatory, the Initiator indicates with the V flag that a verification message is expected. The IDRi and IDRr payloads SHALL be included. The IBAKE payload contains Initiator's Identity and EC Diffie-Hellman values (ECCPTi), and Responder's Identity all encrypted using Responder's public key (i.e. encr_key = K_PUBr) as follows: Cakulev & Sundaram Expires September 11, 2011 [Page 14] Internet-Draft MIKEY-IBAKE March 2011 IBAKE = E(encr_key, IDRi || ECCPTi || IDRr) Optionally, Encrypted Secret Key (ESK) payload MAY be included. If included, ESK contains an identity and a Secret Key (SK) encrypted using intended Responder's Public Key (i.e. encr_key = K_PUBr). ESK = E(encr_key, ID || SK) 4.2.2.2. Processing of the I_MESSAGE_1 Message The parsing of I_MESSAGE_1 message SHALL be done as in [RFC3830]. If the received message is correctly parsed, the Responder SHALL use the Private Key (K_PRr) corresponding to the received IDRr to decrypt the IBAKE payload. If the message contains encrypted ESK payload, the Responder SHALL decrypt the SK and use it to decrypt the received IBAKE payload. Otherwise, if the Responder is not able to decrypt the IBAKE payload, the Responder SHALL indicate it to the Initiator by including only its own EC Diffie-Hellman value (ECCPTr) in the next message (i.e. R_MESSAGE_1) it sends to the Initiator. If the received message cannot be correctly parsed, the Responder SHOULD silently discard the message and abort the protocol. 4.2.2.3. Components of the R_MESSAGE_1 Message The version, PRF func, CSB ID, #CS, and CS ID map type fields in the HDR payload SHALL be identical to the corresponding fields in the I_MESSAGE_1 message. The V flag SHALL be set to 1 as I_MESSAGE_2 message is mandatory. The timestamp type and value SHALL be identical to the one used in the I_MESSAGE_1 message. The IDRi and IDRr payloads SHALL be included. The IDRi payload SHALL be as received in the I_MESSAGE_1. In the IDRr payload, the Responder SHALL include its own identity. Note that this identity might be different from the identity contained in the IDRr payload received in I_MESSAGE_1 message. The IDRr payloads of I_MESSAGE_1 and R_MESSAGE_1 will be different in the case of forking, retargeting and deferred delivery. The Responder's IBAKE payload contains the Initiator's EC Diffie- Hellman value (ECCPTi) received in I_MESSAGE_1 (if successfully decrypted), and Initiator's EC Diffie-Hellman value generated by Responder (ECCPTr), as well as corresponding Initiator and Responder's identities. If the responder is unable to decrypt the IBAKE payload received in I_MESSAGE_1 (e.g., the message is received Cakulev & Sundaram Expires September 11, 2011 [Page 15] Internet-Draft MIKEY-IBAKE March 2011 by the intended Responder's mailbox), the Responder SHALL include only its own EC Diffie-Hellman value (ECCPTr). The IBAKE payload in R_MESSAGE_1 is encrypted using Initiator's public key (i.e. encr_key = P_PUBi) as follows: IBAKE = E(encr_key, IDRi || {ECCPTi} || IDRr || ECCPTr) 4.2.2.4. Processing of the R_MESSAGE_1 Message The parsing of R_MESSAGE_1 message SHALL be done as in [RFC3830]. If the received message is correctly parsed, the Initiator shall use the Private Key corresponding to the received IDRi to decrypt the IBAKE payload. If the ECCPTi sent in I_MESSAGE_1 is not present in the received IBAKE payload (e.g., the Responder is currently offline and the R_MESSAGE_1 is received from Responder's mailbox), the Initiator SHALL include ECCPTi again in the next message, I_MESSAGE_2. In this case I_MESSAGE_2 SHALL also contain a ESK payload encrypted using intended recipient's K_PUB. If the received message cannot be correctly parsed, the Initiator SHOULD silently discard the message and abort the protocol. 4.2.2.5. Components of the I_MESSAGE_2 Message The I_MESSAGE_2 message MUST always include the Header (HDR), Timestamp (T), and RAND payloads. The version, PRF func, CSB ID, #CS, and CS ID map type fields in the HDR payload SHALL be identical to the corresponding fields in the R_MESSAGE_2 message. As the R_MESSAGE_2 message is mandatory, the Initiator indicates with the V flag that a verification message is expected. The IDRi and IDRr payloads SHALL be included. The IDRr payload SHALL be the same as the IDRr payload received in the R_MESSAGE_1. The Initiator's IBAKE payload SHALL contain Initiator's EC Diffie- Hellman value (ECCPTi) if the ECCPTi was not received in R_MESSAGE_1. Otherwise, ECCPTi SHALL NOT be included. The IBAKE payload in I_MESSAGE_2 SHALL contain the Initiator's and Responder's identities as well as Responder's EC Diffie-Hellman value received in message R_MESSAGE_1. IBAKE payload SHALL be encrypted using Responder's public key (i.e. encr_key = K_PUBr) as follows: IBAKE = E(encr_key, IDRi || {ECCPTi} || IDRr || ECCPTr) Optionally, Encrypted Secret Key (ESK) payload can be included. ESK SHALL be included in case R_MESSAGE_1 did not contain Initiator's EC Cakulev & Sundaram Expires September 11, 2011 [Page 16] Internet-Draft MIKEY-IBAKE March 2011 Diffie-Hellman value (ECCPTi) (e.g., in the case of deferred delivery). If included, it contains an Initiator's identity and Initiator generated Secret Key (SK) encrypted using intended recipient Public Key (i.e. encr_key = K_PUB) as follows: ESK = E(encr_key, ID || SK) 4.2.2.6. Processing of the I_MESSAGE_2 Message The parsing of I_MESSAGE_2 message SHALL be done as in [RFC3830]. If the received message is correctly parsed, the Responder shall use the K_PRr corresponding to the received IDRr to decrypt the IBAKE payload. If ESK is received, the responder SHALL store it for the future use (e.g., the Responder is a mailbox and will forward the key to the user once the user is online). If the received message cannot be correctly parsed, the Responder SHOULD silently discard the message and abort the protocol. 4.2.2.7. Components of the R_MESSAGE_2 Message The version, PRF func, CSB ID, #CS, and CS ID map type fields in the HDR payload SHALL be identical to the corresponding fields in the I_MESSAGE_2 message. The V flag SHALL be set to 0 by the Responder and ignored by the Initiator. The timestamp type and value SHALL be identical to the one used in the I_MESSAGE_2 message. The IDRi and IDRr payloads SHOULD be included. If Initiator's EC Diffie-Hellman value (ECCPTi) was received in I_MESSAGE_2, the Responder SHALL also include the IBAKE payload. If included, the IBAKE payload SHALL contain Initiator's EC Diffie- Hellman value (ECCPTi), and the Initiator's identity previously received in I_MESSAGE_2, encrypted using Initiator's public key (i.e. encr_key = K_PUBi) as follows: IBAKE = E(encr_key, IDRi || ECCPTi) The last payload SHALL be a Verification payload (V) where the authentication key (auth_key) is derived as specified in Section 5.2. Cakulev & Sundaram Expires September 11, 2011 [Page 17] Internet-Draft MIKEY-IBAKE March 2011 4.2.2.8. Processing of the R_MESSAGE_2 Message The parsing of R_MESSAGE_2 message SHALL be done as in [RFC3830]. If the received message is correctly parsed, and if it contains the IBAKE payload, the Initiator SHALL use the K_PRi corresponding to the received IDRi to decrypt the IBAKE payload. If the received message cannot be correctly parsed, the Initiator SHOULD silently discard the message and abort the protocol. Cakulev & Sundaram Expires September 11, 2011 [Page 18] Internet-Draft MIKEY-IBAKE March 2011 5. Key Management The keys used in REQUEST_KEY_INIT/REQUEST_KEY_RESP exchange are derived from the pre-shared key or the envelope key as specified in [RFC3830]. As crypto sessions are not handled in this exchange, further keying material (i.e TEKs) for this message exchanges SHALL NOT be derived. 5.1. Generating Keys from the Session Key As stated above, the session key [x][y]P is generated using exchanged EC Diffie-Hellman values, where x and y are randomly chosen by Initiator and Responder. The session key as a point on an elliptic curve is then converted into octet string as specified in [SEC1]. This octet string K_SESSION is then used to generate MPK and TGK. Finally, the traffic encryption keys (e.g., TEK) are generated from TGK as specified in [RFC3830]. The MPK and TGK are generated from K_SESSION as follows. inkey : K_SESSION inkey_len : bit length of the MPK label : constant || 0xFF || 0xFFFFFFFF || RAND outkey_len : desired bit length of the output key (MPK or TGK) The constant depends on the derived key type as summarized below. +-------------+------------+ | Derived Key | Constant | +-------------+------------+ | MPK | 0x220E99A2 | | | | | TGK | 0x1F4D675B | +-------------+------------+ Table 1: Constants for key derivation The constants are taken from the decimal digits of e as described in [RFC3830]. 5.2. Generating Keys for MIKEY Messages The keys for MIKEY messages are used to protect the MIKEY messages exchanged between the Initiator and Responder (i.e., I_MESSAGE and R_MESSAGE). In the REQUEST_KEY_INIT/REQUEST_KEY_RESP exchange, the key derivation SHALL be done exactly as in [RFC3830]. Cakulev & Sundaram Expires September 11, 2011 [Page 19] Internet-Draft MIKEY-IBAKE March 2011 MIKEY Protection Key (MPK) for I_MESSAGE/R_MESSAGE exchange is generated as described in Section 5.1. This MPK is then used to derive keys to protect R_MESSAGE_2 message. inkey : MPK inkey_len : bit length of the MPK label : constant || 0xFF || csb_id || RAND outkey_len : desired bit length of the output key where the constants are as defined in [RFC3830]. 5.3. CSB Update Similar to [RFC3830], MIKEY-IBAKE provides means for updating the CSB (Crypto Session Bundle), e.g. transporting new EC Diffe-Hellman values or adding new crypto sessions. The CSB updating is done by executing the exchange of I_MESSAGE_1/R_MESSAGE_1. The CSB updating MAY be started by either the Initiator or the Responder. Initiator Responder I_MESSAGE_1 = ----> HDR, T, [IDRi], [IDRr], [IBAKE] <---- R_MESSAGE_1 = HDR, T, [IDRi], [IDRr], [IBAKE], V Responder Initiator I_MESSAGE_1 = ----> HDR, T, [IDRr], [IDRi], [IBAKE] <---- R_MESSAGE_1 = HDR, T, [IDRi], [IDRr], [IBAKE], V The new message exchange MUST use the same CSB ID as the initial exchange, but MUST use a new timestamp. Other payloads that were provided in the initial exchange SHOULD NOT be included. New RANDs MUST NOT be included in the message exchange (the RANDs will only have effect in the initial exchange). IBAKE payload with new EC Diffie-Hellman values SHOULD be included. If new EC Diffie-Hellman values are being exchanged during CSB updating, messages SHALL be protected with keys derived from EC Diffie-Hellman values exchanged as specified in Section 5.2. Cakulev & Sundaram Expires September 11, 2011 [Page 20] Internet-Draft MIKEY-IBAKE March 2011 Otherwise, if new EC Diffie-Hellman values are not being exchanged during CSB update exchange, messages SHALL be protected with the keys that protected the I_MESSAGE/R_MESSAGE messages in the initial exchange. 5.4. Generating MAC and Verification Message Authentication tag in all MIKEY-IBAKE messages is generated as described in [RFC3830]. The MPK as described above is used to derive the auth_key. The MAC/Signature in the V/SIGN payloads covers the entire MIKEY message, except the MAC/Signature field itself and if there is an ESK payload in the massage it SHALL be omitted from MAC/ Signature calculation. The identities (not whole payloads) of the involved parties MUST directly follow the MIKEY message in the Verification MAC/Signature calculation. Note that in the I_MESSAGE/ R_MESSAGE exchange, IDRr in R_MESSAGE_1 MAY not be the same as that appearing in I_MESSAGE_1.

Security Considerations Unless explicitly stated, the security properties of the MIKEY protocol as described in [RFC3830] apply to MIKEY-IBAKE as well. In addition, MIKEY-IBAKE is based on the basic Identity Based Encryption protocol, as specified in [RFC5091], [RFC5408] and [RFC5409], and as such inherits some properties of that protocol. For instance, by concatenating the "date" with the identity (to derive the public key), the need for any key revocation mechanisms is virtually eliminated. Moreover, by allowing the participants to acquire multiple private keys (e.g., for duration of contract) the availability requirements on the KMS are also reduced without any reduction in security. 7.1. General Security Considerations MIKEY-IBAKE protocol relies on the use of Identity-Based Encryption. [RFC5091] describes attacks on the cryptographic algorithms used in Identity Based Encryption. In addition, [RFC5091] provides recommendations for security parameters for described IBE algorithms. It is assumed that the Key Management Services are secure, not compromised, trusted, and will not engage in launching active attacks independently or in a collaborative environment. However, any malicious insider could potentially launch passive attacks (by decryption of one or more message exchanges offline). While it is in the best interest of administrators to prevent such attacks, it is hard to eliminate this problem. Hence, it is assumed that such problems will persist, and hence the protocols are designed to protect participants from passive adversaries. 7.2. IBAKE Protocol Security Considerations For the basic IBAKE protocol from a cryptographic perspective following security considerations apply. In every step Identity Based Encryption (IBE) is used, with the recipient's public key. This guarantees that only the intended recipient of the message can decrypt the message [BF]. Next, the use of identities within the encrypted payload is intended to eliminate some basic reflection attacks. For instance, suppose identities were not used as part of the encrypted payload, in the first step of the IBAKE protocol (i.e., I_MESSAGE_1 of Figure 3 in Section 4.1). Furthermore, assume an adversary who has access to the conversation between initiator and responder and can actively snoop into packets and drop/modify them before routing them to the destination. For instance, assume that the IP source address and Cakulev & Sundaram Expires September 11, 2011 [Page 29] Internet-Draft MIKEY-IBAKE March 2011 destination address can be modified by the adversary. After the first message is sent by the initiator (to the responder), the adversary can take over and trap the packet. Next, the adversary can modify the IP source address to include adversary's IP address, before routing it onto the responder. The responder will assume the request for an IBAKE session came from the adversary, and will execute step 2 of the IBAKE protocol (i.e., R_MESSAGE_1 of Figure 3 in Section 4.1) but encrypt it using the adversary's public key. The above message can be decrypted by the adversary (and only by the adversary). In particular, since the second message includes the challenge sent by the initiator to the responder, the adversary will now learn the challenge sent by the initiator. Following this, the adversary can carry on a conversation with the initiator "pretending" to be the responder. This attack will be eliminated if identities are used as part of the encrypted payload. In summary, at the end of the exchange both initiator and responder can mutually authenticate each other and agree on a session key. Recall that Identity Based Encryption guarantees that only the recipient of the message can decrypt the message using the private key. The caveat being, the KMS which generated the private key of recipient of message can decrypt the message as well. However, the KMS cannot learn the session key [x][y]P given [x]P and [y]P based on the Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman problem. This property of resistance to passive key escrow from the KMS, is not applicable to the basic IBE protocols proposed in [RFC5091], [RFC5408] and [RFC5409]. Observe that the protocol works even if the initiator and responder belong to two different Key Management Services. In particular, the parameters used for encryption to the responder and parameters used for encryption to the initiator can be completely different and independent of each other. Moreover, the Elliptic Curve used to generate the session key [x][y]P can be completely different. If such flexibility is desired, then it would be advantageous to add optional extra data to the protocol to exchange the algebraic primitives used in deriving the session key. In addition to mutual authentication, and resistance to passive escrow, the Diffie-Hellman property of the session key exchange guarantees perfect secrecy of keys. In others, accidental leakage of one session key does not compromise past or future session keys between the same initiator and responder. 7.3. Forking In the Forking feature, given that there are multiple potential responders, it is important to observe that there is one "common Cakulev & Sundaram Expires September 11, 2011 [Page 30] Internet-Draft MIKEY-IBAKE March 2011 responder" identity (and corresponding public and private keys) and each responder has a unique identity (and corresponding public and private keys). Observe that, in this framework if one responder responds to the invite from the initiator it uses its unique identity such that the protocol guarantees that no other responder learns the session key. 7.4. Retargeting In the Retargeting feature, the forwarding server does not learn the private key of the intended responder since it is encrypted using the retargeted responder's public key. Additionally, the initiator will learn that the retargeted responder answered the phone (and not the intended responder) since the retargeted responder includes its own identity in the message sent to the initiator. This will allow the initiator to decide whether or not to carry on the conversation. Finally, the session key cannot be discovered by intended responder since the random number chosen by the retargeted responder is not known to the intended responder. 7.5. Deferred Delivery In the Deferred Delivery feature, the initiator and the responder's mailbox will mutually authenticate each other thereby preventing server side "phishing" attacks and conversely guarantees to the server (and eventually to the responder) the identity of the initiator. Moreover, the key used by initiator to encrypt the contents of the message is completely independent from the session key derived between the initiator and the server. Finally, the key used to encrypt the message is encrypted using the responder's public key which allows the contents of the message to remain unknown to the mailbox server.

IANA Considerations This document defines several new values for the namespaces Data Type, Next Payload, and Key Data Type defined in [RFC3830]. The following IANA assignments were added to the MIKEY Payload registry (in bracket is a reference to the table containing the registered values): o Data Type (see Table 2) o Next Payload (see Table 3) o Key Data Type (see Table 4) The ECCPT payload defines an 8-bit ECC Curve field for which IANA is to create and maintain a new namespace in the MIKEY Payload registry. Assignments consist of a ECC curve and its associated value. Values in the range 1-239 SHOULD be approved by the process of Specification Required, values in the range 240-254 are for Private Use, and the values 0 and 255 are Reserved according to [RFC5226]. The initial contents of the registry should be as follows: Value ECC curve ------- ------------------------------------ 0 Reserved 1 ECPRGF192Random / P-192 / secp192r1 2 EC2NGF163Random / B-163 / sect163r2 3 EC2NGF163Koblitz / K-163 / sect163k1 4 EC2NGF163Random2 / none / sect163r1 5 ECPRGF224Random / P-224 / secp224r1 6 EC2NGF233Random / B-233 / sect233r1 7 EC2NGF233Koblitz / K-233 / sect233k1 8 ECPRGF256Random / P-256 / secp256r1 9 EC2NGF283Random / B-283 / sect283r1 10 EC2NGF283Koblitz / K-283 / sect283k1 11 ECPRGF384Random / P-384 / secp384r1 12 EC2NGF409Random / B-409 / sect409r1 13 EC2NGF409Koblitz / K-409 / sect409k1 14 ECPRGF521Random / P-521 / secp521r1 15 EC2NGF571Random / B-571 / sect571r1 16 EC2NGF571Koblitz / K-571 / sect571k1 17-239 Unassigned 240-254 Private Use 255 Reserved The SK sub-payload defines a 4-bit Type field for which IANA is to create and maintain a new namespace in the MIKEY Payload registry.
