Introduction DISCLAIMER: This draft is a preliminary proposal with insufficient security analysis. It should not be used in production systems. Duke Expires 8 November 2021 [Page 2] Internet-Draft protected-initial May 2021 The QUIC Initial Packet [QUIC-TRANSPORT] is encrypted using a key derived from the Destination Connection ID in the packet cleartext and a well-known salt (see Section 5.2 of [QUIC-TLS]). Section 7 of that draft describes security vulnerabilities resulting from the resulting lack of authentication. This also has privacy implications, as observers can decrypt the packet and inspect the contents, which contain the TLS Client Hello and Server Hello Messages ([RFC8446]). The former contains QUIC Transport Parameters, which reveal even more information about the traffic. Furthermore, packets vulnerable to deep inspection create an ossification vector. Intermediaries that expect the contents of these messages to match a certain format and template might drop packets that do not, preventing the use of new protocol extensions or improved security protocols. This document proposes a new version of QUIC where the client obtains a public key generated by the server and uses it to encrypt a shared secret, sent in the Initial packet header, that both endpoints can then use to protect Initial packets. This mechanism leverages the public key that would be distributed via DNS (or other out-of-band mechanism) to support Encrypted Client Hello [ECHO]. That design uses Hybrid Public Key Exchange (HPKE) ([HPKE] to authenticate some HPKE configuration information and the "outer client hello" that is in plaintext, while encrypting the "inner client hello" that contains privacy-sensitive information. This document uses the widespread configuration that will exist if ECHO is widely deployed, but only sends the subset of information necessary to seed the QUIC key generation process. The version of QUIC described in this specification is identical to QUIC version 1 [QUIC-TRANSPORT] except where described in this document. 1.1. Relationship to ECH and Version Aliasing Encrypted Client Hello [ECHO] and QUIC Version Aliasing [VERSION-ALIASING] also exist in the solution space of concealing parts of the Initial packet exchange from observers. The following table summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of each. Duke Expires 8 November 2021 [Page 3] Internet-Draft protected-initial May 2021 +===================+==============+=============+=============+ | Property | ECH | Protected | Version | | | | Initials | Aliasing | +===================+==============+=============+=============+ | Fields Protected | Some of | All Initial | All Initial | | | Client Hello | Payloads | Payloads | +-------------------+--------------+-------------+-------------+ | Delay when server | 1 RTT | 2 RTT | 2 RTT | | loses its keys | | | | +-------------------+--------------+-------------+-------------+ | Works with TLS | Yes | No | No | | over TCP | | | | +-------------------+--------------+-------------+-------------+ | First-connection | Yes | Yes | No | | protection | | | | +-------------------+--------------+-------------+-------------+ | No trial | No | Yes | Yes | | decryption | | | | +-------------------+--------------+-------------+-------------+ | Prevents Initial | No | Yes | Yes | | packet injection | | | | | attacks | | | | +-------------------+--------------+-------------+-------------+ | Symmetric | No | No | Yes | | Encryption Only | | | | +-------------------+--------------+-------------+-------------+ | Greases the | No | No | Yes | | Version Field | | | | +-------------------+--------------+-------------+-------------+ | Prevents Retry | No | No | Yes | | injection attacks | | | | +-------------------+--------------+-------------+-------------+ Table 1 The more complex properties in the table are discussed in Section 14. Both ECH and Protected Initials are complimentary with Version Aliasing: they provide a computationally expensive way to protect parts of the Initial packet during the first connection between client and server, after which Version Aliasing can protect future exchanges with several additional desirable properties. 2. Conventions 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 RFC 2119 [RFC2119]. Duke Expires 8 November 2021 [Page 4] Internet-Draft protected-initial May 2021 3. Key Configuration The client obtains the Encrypted ClientHello Configuration (ECHConfig) described in Section 4 of [ECHO], which provides the context that allows protection of Initial packets. The ECHConfig is available via a DNS record or other out-of- band system. 4. Version Number The version field in long headers is TBD. Note: for interoperability exercises, use the provisional value 0xff454900. 5. Key Derivation Labels The labels used to derive keying material in [QUIC-TLS] change from "quic key", "quic iv", "quic hp", and "quic ku" to "quicpi key", "quicpi iv", "quicpi hp", and "quicpi ku", respectively. 6. Initial Packet Header The figure below is presented in the format from [QUIC-TRANSPORT], and adds a variable-length Encryption Context preceded by a length field: Initial Packet { Header From (1) = 1, Fixed Big (1) = 1, Long Packet Type (2) = 0, Reserved Bits (2), Packet Number Length (2), Version (32), Destination Connection ID Length (8), Destination Connection ID (0..160), Source Connection ID Length (8), Source Connection ID (0..160), Encryption Context Length (8), Encryption Context (..), Token Length (i), Token (..), Length (i), Packet Number (8..32), } Encryption Context Length: A variable-length integer specifying the length of the encryption context, in bytes. Servers MUST set this field to zero; a client that receives a non-zero length MUST either discard the packet or generate a connection error of type PROTOCOL_VIOLATION. Duke Expires 8 November 2021 [Page 5] Internet-Draft protected-initial May 2021 If a client has received a valid Server Initial packet, it SHOULD set this field to zero. Until then, clients MUST use a nonzero value. If a client Initial packet has a zero Encryption Context Length, and the server has not sent an Initial Packet, the server MUST either discard the packet or generate a connection error of type PROTOCOL_VIOLATION. 6.1. Encryption Context The encryption context, if nonzero length, has the following format: Encryption Context { Config ID (8), SCKDF (16), SCAEADID (16), Encapsulated Secret (..), } Config ID: An 8-bit integer identifying the configuration parameters, obtained from the ECHConfig. This ID implicitly identifies the public key, Key Encapsulation Mechanism, and the set of symmetric suites from which the following fields are selected. SCKDF: Symmetric Cipher Key Derivation Function. The client selects this from the cipher suites listed in the ECHConfig. This is the cipher used to encrypt the Initial Packet. The values are listed in Section 7.2 of [HPKE]. All endpoints MUST support HKDF-SHA256 (0x0001), which is used for QUIC Version 1 Initial packets. SCAEADID: Symmetric Cipher Key Derivation Function. The client selects this from the cipher suites listed in the ECHConfig. This is the cipher used to encrypt the Initial Packet. The values are listed in Section 7.3 of [HPKE]. all endpoints MUST support AES-128-GCM (0x0001), which is used for QUIC Version 1 Initial packets. The Encapsulated Secret is HPKE encapsulated. Its length is inferred from the Encryption Context Length field. 7. Client Packet Protection Procedure An client extracts the public key pkR and uses it to generate a shared_secret: pkR = Deserialize(ECHConfig.contents.public_key) shared_secret, enc = Encap(pkR) initial_secret = HKDF-Extract(shared_secret, client_dst_connection_id || ECHConfig) Duke Expires 8 November 2021 [Page 6] Internet-Draft protected-initial May 2021 enc is the Encapsulated Secret, and is written into that subfield of the Encryption Context Field. The initial_secret above is used to generate client_initial_secret and server_initial_secret as described in Section 5.2 of [QUIC-TLS]. When applying header protection, the Context Length and Encryption Context are not Protected. Additionally, the client bitwise-XORs the first eight octets of the Destination Connection ID with the first eight octets of the public key to form a 64 bit unsigned integer. This integer is added to the packet length, modulo 2^62, and written into the packet length field instead of the actual packet length. This derivation is performed once per connection. Subsequent Initial Packets use the same keys and the same offset to the packet number, regardless of additional Encryption Context fields or changed connection IDs. 8. Server Packet Protection Procedure The server reads the Config ID and Encapsulated Secret (enc) from the Initial Packet. It looks up its private key (skR) associated with the Config ID. Prior to any other operations, including sending any Retry packet, the server bitwise-XORs the first eight octets of its public key and the destination connection ID and subtracts this from the value in the packet length field, modulo 2^62, to find the true packet length. Any result that exceeds the size of the received datagram indicates with high assurance that the client's received ECHConfig does not match the server's state, possibly due to a misconfiguration. The probability this test results in a false negative, when an incorrect key generates a result less than the datagram size, is typically less than 1 in 2^51. The server MUST discard the packet and SHOULD send a Version Negotiation packet (see Section 10). Otherwise, the server generates the Initial secrets: shared_secret = Decap(enc, skR) initial_secret = HKDF-Extract(shared_secret, client_dst_connection_id || ECHConfig) The server now has sufficient context to send a Retry packet and MAY choose to do so at this point (see Section 9). If not, it decrypts the Initial packet. Duke Expires 8 November 2021 [Page 7] Internet-Draft protected-initial May 2021 The remainder is identical to the client procedure. All server- generated Initial packets use the keys generated in this process. 9. Retry Integrity Tag The Retry packet is identical to QUIC version 1, except that the key and nonce used for the Retry Integrity Tag (Sec 5.8 of [I-D.ietf-quic-tls] change to: secret = 0xe453a2e22377289f08a4458ee1c9a90a4e39696e026372ffc33190b8de5a0123 key = 0xbe0c690b9f66575a1d766b54e368c84e nonce = 0x461599d35d632bf2239825bb 10. Fallback Endpoints that support QUIC Protected Initials MUST support at least one other version of QUIC (in case the endpoints cannot agree on the ECHConfig), and therefore MUST also support [QUIC-VN]. Note that QUIC version 1 is not compatible with QUIC Protected Initials, as it does not contain the information necessary to generate subsequent Initial packets correctly. Conversely, QUIC Protected Initials are compatible with QUIC version 1. However, since the versions have identical properties after the Initial packet exchange, there is little value in such a transition. When decoding a client Initial packet length, the server may conclude that the client does not have the server's correct configuration (see Section 8). In this case, it SHOULD send a Version Negotiation packet and that packet MUST include the version the client attempted to connect with. This contradicts the usual semantics in Section 5 of [QUIC-VN], and clients that support Protected Initials MUST accept these packets, as well as further transport parameters that advertise support for Protected Initials. Because of the vulnerabilities described in Section 14.1, additional measures are required to protect against an attacker forcing version downgrade. If the client chooses to attempt a reconnection, it MUST choose a version listed in the Version Negotiation packet that does not include Protected Initials. When connecting with that version, the client MUST include the public_key_failed transport parameter with the Config ID and public key it attempted to use. Duke Expires 8 November 2021 [Page 8] Internet-Draft protected-initial May 2021 The server checks the Config ID and public key to see if it should successfully process a Protected Initial with these parameters. If it would have, it MUST terminate the connection with a VERSION_NEGOTIATION_ERROR to indicate that there has been a downgrade attack. If the server would not have successfully decoded the packet with those parameters, it MUST send its own public_key_failed transport parameter to acknowledge the parameter was successfully processed. It MAY also send a ECHConfig transport parameter to allow use of Protected Initials in subsequent connections, a Version Aliasing transport parameter (see [VERSION-ALIASING]) to enable a different means of Initial Protection, both, or neither. If the client does not receive a public_key_failed transport parameter in response to sending a public_key_failed transport parameter, it MUST terminate the connection with a TRANSPORT_PARAMETER_ERROR. 11. New Transport Parameters 11.1. public_key_failed The system to detect version downgrade in [QUIC-VN] is insufficient to do so for Protection Initials (see Section 14.1). The public_key_failed transport parameter solves this problem. For details on use, see Section 10. Its provisional type is 0x706b66. When sent by a client, the content of the transport parameter is as follows: { Config ID (8), Public Key (..), } These fields are populated using the ECHConfig that the client attempted to use. The length of the Public Key is inferred from the length field of the transport parameter. When sent by a server, the transport parameter has no value field. Endpoints MUST respond to a malformed transport parameter by closing the connection with a TRANSPORT_PARAMETER_ERROR. Duke Expires 8 November 2021 [Page 9] Internet-Draft protected-initial May 2021 Note that this transport parameter is always sent as a result of a fallback from a Protected Initial, and therefore in a connection of a different version. Therefore, if received in a Protected Initial connection, the receiving endpoint MUST terminate the connection with a TRANSPORT_PARAMETER_ERROR. 11.2. ECHConfig The ECHConfig transport parameter allows servers to directly provide clients a valid configuration. Its provisional type is 0x454348. Its format is equivalent to ECHConfigList, as defined in Section 4 of [ECHO]. Note that, like public_key_failed, this transport parameter is sent in response to a failed attempt to use Protected Initials, and therefore only occurs in other versions of QUIC. If this transport parameter does not match this format, is received by a server, or is received in a connection that uses Protected Initials, the receiver MUST terminate the connection with a TRANSPORT_PARAMETER_ERROR. 12. Intermediaries In the topology proposed in Section 3.1 of [ECHO], where a client- facing server has its own public name and potentially fronts a number of independent domains, only the client-facing server has the private keys. Thus, it modifies incoming Initial Packets before forwarding to the back-end server. The back-end server uses a modified technique for decrypting Initial packets. A common use case of this topology is a load balancer fronting multiple domains using the same IP address, which makes routing decisions based on the SNI in the Client Hello. 12.1. Client-Facing Server If an incoming client Initial has a non-zero length Encryption Context field, the client-facing server MUST rewrite the Config ID field as zero, replaces the Encapsulated Secret with the shared secret in plaintext, and updates the Encryption Context Length accordingly. To avoid authentication failure, the client-facing server MUST re- encrypt the Initial packet with the new header as associated data. Duke Expires 8 November 2021 [Page 10] Internet-Draft protected-initial May 2021 Non-Initial packets, as well as Initial packets that have a zero- length Encryption Context, pass unmodified through the client-facing server. Note that client-facing servers cannot inspect any packet payloads except for Initial packets. 12.2. Back-End Server Back-end servers use the plaintext shared secret to generate Initial keys. Back-end servers MUST have an up-to-date copy of the ECHConfigList the client- facing server is using, though it need not hold the private key, in order to properly process the relevant transport parameters. In all other respects they operate as Protected Initial servers. 13. Applicability This version of QUIC provides no change from QUIC version 1 relating to the capabilities available to applications. Therefore, all Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) ([RFC7301]) codepoints specified to operate over QUICv1 can also operate over this version of QUIC. 14. Security and Privacy Considerations Sections 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, and 10.6 of [ECHO] apply to QUIC Protected Initials as well. Section 7.8 of [VERSION-ALIASING] is also applicable. 14.1. Key Loss and Version Downgrade ECH and Protected Initials both rely on shared cryptographic configuration state between client and server, delivered by an out- of-band method, usually DNS. In the event this synchronization fails in ECH, the client-facing server can complete the handshake, authenticate itself against the "public name" in the unprotected part of the Client Hello, and provide updated configuration state, allowing a resumed attempt after 1 RTT. Duke Expires 8 November 2021 [Page 11] Internet-Draft protected-initial May 2021 With Protected Initials, when decryption fails there is not enough context to complete any sort of authentication to update the crypto context. Instead, the server sends a Version Negotiation Packet that causes the client to fall back to a version of QUIC with unprotected Initials, in which it could connect to the public name and only then acquire the updated crypto context. Note that this incurs an additional 1-RTT penalty over ECH, although loss of key synchronization is hopefully a rare occurrence. Furthermore, Version Negotiation Packets are not authenticated, which opens up the possibility of Version Downgrade attacks. The weak form of this attack simply observes the Client Initial and delivers a Version Negotiation Packet before the client responds. Clients SHOULD wait for an interval (roughly the QUIC Probe Timeout, see [I-D.ietf-quic-recovery]) before acting on a Version Negotiation Packet that indicates a lack of support for Protected Initials when a DNS record indicating such support exists, to allow a later valid server response to arrive. If it does, the client MUST ignore the Version Negotiation packet. The strong form of this attack requires the attacker to drop either the Client Initial or the Server Initial. In this case, the client has no recourse but to connect with an unprotected Initial. As described above, the client can obtain an updated context from the public name and then assume subsequent Version Negotiation packets are invalid with high probability. Regardless, an attacker with these capabilities can always block a secured handshake of any kind, and can force the client choose between an insecure handshake and not communicating at all. However, QUIC is designed to fail the connection if an attacker forces a downgrade. Unfortunately, the existing detection mechanism in [QUIC-VN] is insufficient to detect these in the case of Protected Initials. Because some clients may have the correct configuration and others not, servers might send Version Negotiation to a subset of clients that attempt to use Protected Initials. To validate if it would have accepted a "Previously Attempted Version," the server would have to track the clients to which it recently sent Version Negotiation packets. Duke Expires 8 November 2021 [Page 12] Internet-Draft protected-initial May 2021 However, even this is insufficient. An attacker can simply drop a Protected Initial Packet, send Version Negotiation, and then send an improperly encrypted Initial Packet to the server using the client's IP to trigger a Version Negotiation. As servers do not authenticate client Initials before sending Version Negotiation, the server has to actually understand the crypto context the client was attempting to use. This is the reason for the public_key_failed transport parameter. 14.2. Initial Packet Injection QUIC version 1 handshakes are vulnerable to DoS from observers for the short interval that endpoints keep Initial keys (usually ~1.5 RTTS), since Initial Packets are not authenticated. With version aliasing, attackers do not have the necessary keys to launch such an attack. QUIC version 1 can use a fixed symmetric cipher for its Initial Packets because the encryption is not providing true security. As this design aspires to stonger guarantees, the Encryption Context field of the Initial header provides the codepoints to enable use of other symmetric ciphers should AES-128-GCM be compromised in the future. This is to provide cryptographic agility in accordance with [RFC7696]. 14.3. Retry Injection This version of QUIC does not improve the security of Retry packets with respect to QUIC version 1. The Retry Integrity Tag uses a well- known key and relies on data in the Initial that triggered the Retry. It therefore protects against transmission errors and injection of Retry packets by off-path attackers that cannot observe the Initial. To detect Retry packets injected by observers, it relies on the subsequent exchange of transport parameters. An attacker that consistently injects Retry packets in front of a server that also consistently sends Retry can result in a Denial of Service, as clients cannot accept two Retries in the same connection. An alternate design would use the shared secret derived from the Client Initial Packet to generate keys for the Retry Integrity Tag, which would allow the client to immediately discard Retries injected by other parties. Unfortunately, this would require servers to perform an asymmetric crypto operation to send a Retry packet, when in a state where it is likely computationally limited. Duke Expires 8 November 2021 [Page 13] Internet-Draft protected-initial May 2021 It is possible to enhance the security of Retry by assuming this added computational cost. Such a design could also eliminate the complexity associated with adding an arbitrary value to the Packet Length field. The purpose of this addition is to avoid trial decryption to verify the configuration is correct, but this cost is negligible compared to extracting the shared secret. 14.4. Less Trial Decryption Unlike ECH, Protected Initials can use the Packet Length Offset mechanism to detect key mismatches without trial decryption, saving resources in the case of genuine misconfiguration. However, an attacker attempting to force trial decryption can easily force a decryption that will ultimately result in the packet being silently dropped. 15. IANA Considerations 15.1.
