Abstract This memorandum describes a method whereby one can use GSS-API [RFC2078] to supply a secure channel between a client and server, authenticating the client with a password, and server with a public key certificate. As such, it is analogous to the common low infrastructure usage of the Transport Layer Service (TLS) protocol [RFC2246]. The method leverages the existing Simple Public Key Mechanism (SPKM) [RFC2025], and is specified as a separate GSS-API mechanism (LIPKEY) layered on top of SPKM.

Introduction 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]. This memorandum describes a new security mechanism under the GSS-API called the Low Infrastructure Public Key Mechanism (LIPKEY). GSS-API provides a way for an application protocol to implement authentication, integrity, and privacy. TLS is another way. While TLS is in many ways simpler for an application to incorporate than GSS- API, there are situations where GSS-API might be more suitable. Certainly this is the case with application protocols that run over connectionless protocols. It is also the case with application protocols such as ONC RPC [RFC1831] [RFC2203], which have their own security architecture, and so don't easily mesh with a protocol like TLS that is implemented as a layer that encapsulates the upper layer application protocol. GSS-API allows the application protocol to encapsulate as much of the application protocol as necessary. Despite the flexibility of GSS-API, it compares unfavorably with TLS with respect to the perception of the amount of infrastructure required to deploy it. The better know GSS-API mechanisms, Kerberos V5 [RFC1964] and SPKM require a great deal of infrastructure to set up. Compare this to the typical TLS deployment scenario, which consists of a client with no public key certificate accessing a server with a public key certificate. The client: * obtains the server's certificate, * verifies that it was signed by a trusted certificate authority (CA), * generates a random session symmetric key, * encrypts the session key with the server's public key, and * sends the encrypted session key to the server. At this point, the client and server have a secure channel. TLS is most frequently used with a http, and the http server will then presents the client with an html page that prompts for a user name and password. This information is then encrypted with the session key and sent to the server. The server then authenticates the client. Note that the client is not required to have certificate. The only security infrastructure required, other than a TLS implementation, is a public key certificate and password database on the server. Most Expires: August 1999 [Page 3] INTERNET-DRAFT LIPKEY February 1999 operating systems that the http server would run on already have a native password database, so the net additional infrastructure is a server certificate. Hence the term "low infrastructure security model" to identify this typical TLS deployment scenario. By using unilateral authentication, and using the SPKM-1 mechanism type, SPKM can offer many aspects of the previously described low infrastructure security model. An application that uses GSS-API is certainly free use GSS-API's GSS_Wrap() routine to encrypt a user name and password and send them to the server, for it to decrypt and verify. Applications often have application protocols associated with them, and there might not be any provision in the protocol to specify a password. Layering a thin GSS-API mechanism over SPKM-1 can mitigate this problem. This can be a useful approach to avoid versioning applications that have already bound to GSS-API, assuming the applications have not been written to statically bind to specific GSS-API mechanisms. The remainder of this memorandum describes section defines the thin mechanism: Low Infrastructure Public Key Mechanism (LIPKEY). 2. LIPKEY Requirements of SPKM SPKM-1 with unilateral authentication is close to the desired low infrastructure model described earlier. This section describes some additional changes to how SPKM-1 operates in order to realize the low infrastructure model. 2.1. Mechanism Type LIPKEY uses only SPKM-1 and so the SPKM implementation must support this mechanism type as described in RFC 2025: { iso(1) identifier-organization(3) dod(6) internet(1) security(5) mechanisms(5) spkm(1) spkm-1(1) } 2.2. Name Type RFC 2025 defines no required name types of SPKM. LIPKEY requires that the SPKM-1 implementation support all the mechanism independent name types in RFC 2078. 2.3. Algorithms RFC 2025 defines various algorithms for integrity, confidentiality, key establishment, and subkey derivation. SPKM is designed to extensible with regard to new algorithms. In order for LIPKEY to work correctly and securely, the following algorithms are MUST be Expires: August 1999 [Page 4] INTERNET-DRAFT LIPKEY February 1999 implemented in SPKM: * Integrity algorithm (I-ALG) Because the initiator may not have a certificate for itself, nor for the target, it is not possible it to calculate an Integrity value in the initiator's REQ-TOKEN that is sent to the target. So we define, in ASN.1 [CCITT] syntax, a null I-ALG that returns a zero length bit string regardless of the input passed to it: NULL-MAC ::= { -- OID to be defined } The other consequence of the initiator not having a certificate is that it cannot use the md5WithRSAEncryption integrity algorithm. RFC 2025 notes that the DES-MAC I-ALG is RECOMMENDED; LIPKEY MUST have this algorithm present in SPKM-1. Note that we still need and so continue to REQUIRE md5WithRSAEncryption for the checksumming the target's context token. * Confidentiality algorithm (C-ALG). RFC 2025 does not have a MANDATORY confidentiality algorithm, and instead has RECOMMENDED a 56 bit DES algorithm. Since the LIPKEY initiator needs to send a password to the target, and since 56 bit DES has been demonstrated as inadequate [EFF], LIPKEY MUST be layered over an SPKM-1 implementation that supports this triple DES algorithm: DES-EDE3-CBC OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) member-body(2) US(840) rsadsi(113549) encryptionAlgorithm(3) 7 } The reference for this algorithm OID of this algorithm is [RSA]. The reference for the algorithm's description is believed to be [X9.52]. * Key Establishment Algorithm (K-ALG) RFC 2025 lists dhKeyAgreement [PKCS-3] as an apparently optional algorithm. As will be described later, the required RSAEncryption key establishment algorithm is of no use for a low infrastructure security mechanism as defined by this memorandum. Hence, dhKeyAgreement is a REQUIRED key establishment algorithm: Expires: August 1999 [Page 5] INTERNET-DRAFT LIPKEY February 1999 dhKeyAgreement OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) member-body(2) US(840) rsadsi(113549) pkcs(1) pkcs-3(3) 1 } The REQUIRED Key Establishment (K-ALG), Integrity (I-ALG) and One-Way Functions for Subkey Derivation (O-ALG) algorithms listed in RFC 2025 continue to be REQUIRED. 2.4. Context Establish Tokens RFC 2025 sets up a context with a initiator first token (REQ-TOKEN), a target reply (REP-TI-TOKEN), and finally an initiator second token (REP-TI-TOKEN) to reply to the target's reply. Since LIPKEY uses SPKM-1 with unilateral authentication, the REP-TI-TOKEN is not used. LIPKEY has certain requirements on the contents of the REQ-TOKEN and REP-TI-TOKEN. 2.4.1. REQ-TOKEN Content Requirements 2.4.1.1. algId and req-integrity If the initiator cannot calculate a req-integrity field due to the lack of a target certificate, it should use the NULL-MAC I-ALG described earlier in this memorandum. This will produce a zero length bit string the Integrity field. 2.4.1.2. Req-contents Because RFC 2025 requires that the RSAEncryption K-ALG be present, SPKM must be able to map the target (targ-name) to its public key certificate, and thus SPKM can use the RSAEncryption algorithm to fill in the key-estb-req field. Because LIPKEY assumes a low infrastructure deployment, SPKM MUST be prepared to be unable to map the targ-name field of the Req-contents field. This is a contradiction which is resolved by LIPKEY requiring that the SPKM-1 implementation support the dhKeyAgreement algorithm. Note that if an SPKM-1 implementation tries to map the target to a certificate, and succeeds, it is free to use the RSAEncryption K-ALG algorithm. It is also free to use an algID other than NULL-MAC in the REQ-TOKEN type. 2.4.1.2.1. Options LIPKEY REQUIRES that the SPKM implementation set the target-certif- data-required bit to 1 if the only K-ALG in in the key-estb-set field of Req-contents is dhKeyAgreement. This would normally occur if the Expires: August 1999 [Page 6] INTERNET-DRAFT LIPKEY February 1999 SPKM implementation cannot resolve the target name to a certificate. 2.4.1.2.2. Conf-Algs If the SPKM implementation supports an algorithm weaker than DES- EDE3-CBC, DES-EDE3-CBC MUST be listed first to encourage the target to negotiate the stronger algorithm. 2.4.1.2.3. Intg-Algs Because the initiator will be anonymous (at the SPKM-1 level) and will not have a certificate for itself, the initiator cannot use an integrity algorithm that supports non-repudiation. 2.4.2. REP-TI-TOKEN Content Requirements With the previously described requirements on REQ-TOKEN, the contents of REP-TI-TOKEN can for the most part be derived from specification of RFC 2025. The exceptions are the algId and rep-ti-integ fields. 2.4.2.1. algId The target must never use a NULL-MAC I-ALG; it MUST use md5WithRSAEncryption. 2.4.2.2. rep-ti-integ If the req-token has an algId of NULL-MAC, then the target MUST compute the rep-ti-integ on the concatenation of the req-contents and rep-ti-contents. 3. How LIPKEY Uses SPKM 3.1. Tokens LIPKEY will invoke SPKM-1 to produce SPKM tokens. Since the mechanism that the application uses is LIPKEY, LIPKEY will wrap some of the SPKM-1 tokens with LIPKEY prefixes. The exact definition of the tokens is described later in this memorandum. 3.2. Initiator 3.2.1. GSS_Import_name The initiator uses GSS_Import_name to import the target's name, typically using the GSS_C_NT_HOSTBASED_SERVICE name type. Ultimately, Expires: August 1999 [Page 7] INTERNET-DRAFT LIPKEY February 1999 the output of GSS_Import_name will apply to an SPKM-1 mechanism type because a LIPKEY target is an SPKM-1 target. 3.2.2. GSS_Acquire_cred The initiator calls GSS_Acquire_cred. The credentials that are acquired are LIPKEY credentials, a user name and password. How the user name and password is acquired is dependent upon the operating environment. A application that invokes GSS_Acquire_cred() while the application's user has has a graphical user interface running might trigger the appearance of a pop up window that prompts for the information. A application embedded into the operating system, such as an NFS [Sandberg] client implemented as a native file system might broadcast a message to the user's terminals telling him to invoke a command that prompts for the information. 3.2.3. GSS_Init_sec_context When a program invokes GSS_Init_sec_context on the LIPKEY mechanism type, if the context handle is NULL, the LIPKEY mechanism will in turn invoke GSS_Init_sec_context on an SPKM-1 mechanisms implemented according the requirements described previously. This call to SPKM-1 MUST have the following attributes: * claimant_cred_handle is NULL * targ_name is from the previously mentioned GSS_Import_name call * mutual_req_flag is FALSE * anon_req_flag is TRUE * input_token is NULL All other arguments are derived from the LIPKEY GSS_Init_sec_context arguments. The call to the SPKM-1 GSS_Init_sec_context will create a context handle. The LIPKEY implementation will want to record this within a LIPKEY context handle, and return the LIPKEY context handle, along with the rest of the outputs of the SPKM-1 call back to the caller of the LIPKEY GSS_Init_sec_context call. Since the major status will be GSS_S_CONTINUED_NEEDED, the caller of LIPKEY will send the output_token to the target. The initiator then gets back the response token, and invokes the LIPKEY GSS_Init_sec_context routine again. LIPKEY invokes the SPKM-1 GSS_Init_sec_context again, and upon return, the major status should be GSS_S_COMPLETE. However, LIPKEY is not yet done, because now it must send the user name and password Expires: August 1999 [Page 8] INTERNET-DRAFT LIPKEY February 1999 that was passed to it in the claimant_cred_handle on the first call to the LIPKEY GSS_Init_sec_context. LIPKEY uses the established SPKM-1 context handle as the input to GSS_Wrap (with conf_req_flag set to TRUE) to encrypt what the claimant_cred_handle refers to (user name and password), and returns that as the output token to caller (provided the conf_state output of GSS_Wrap is TRUE), along with a major status of GSS_S_CONTINUED_NEEDED. The caller sends its second token to the target, and waits for either GSS_S_COMPLETE response from the target, indicating that the user name and password was accepted, or a and error indicting rejection of user name and password (GSS_NO_CRED), or some other appropriate error. The SPKM-1 context remains established while LIPKEY context is established. If the SPKM-1 context expires before the LIPKEY context is destroyed, the LIPKEY implementation should expire the LIPKEY context and return the appropriate error on the next operation. 3.2.4. Other operations For other operations, the LIPKEY context acts as a pass through to the SPKM-1 context. Operations that affect or inquire context state, such as GSS_Delete_sec_context, GSS_Export_sec_context, GSS_Import_sec_context, and GSS_Inquire_context will require a pass through to the SPKM-1 context and a state modification of the LIPKEY context. 3.3. Target 3.3.1. GSS_Import_name As with initiator, the imported name will be that of the target. 3.3.2. GSS_Acquire_cred The acceptor calls the LIPKEY GSS_Acquire_cred to get a credential for an SPKM-1 target, via the SPKM-1 GSS_Acquire_cred routine. The desired_name is the output_name from GSS_Import_name. 3.3.3. GSS_Accept_sec_context When a program invokes GSS_Accept_sec_context on the LIPKEY mechanism type, if the context handle is NULL, the LIPKEY mechanism will in turn invoke GSS_Accept_sec_context on an SPKM-1 mechanisms implemented according the requirements described previously. This call first SPKM-1 is no different than what one would expect for an Expires: August 1999 [Page 9] INTERNET-DRAFT LIPKEY February 1999 layered call to GSS_Accept_sec_context. If all goes well, the SPKM-1 GSS_Accept_sec_context call succeeds with GSS_S_COMPLETE, and the LIPKEY GSS_Accept_sec_context call returns the output_token to caller, but with a major status of GSS_S_CONTINUED_NEEDED because the LIPKEY initiator is still expected to send the user name and password. Once the SPKM-1 context is in a GSS_S_COMPLETE state, the next token the target receives will contain the user name and password, wrapped by the output of an SPKM-1 GSS_Wrap call. The target invokes the LIPKEY GSS_Accept_sec_context, which in turn invokes SPKM-1 GSS_Unwrap routine. The LIPKEY GSS_Accept_sec_context routine then compares the user name and password with its user name name and password database. If the initiator's user name and password are valid, GSS_S_COMPLETE is returned to the caller. Otherwise GSS_NO_CRED is returned. In either case, a zero length output_token is returned to the caller. The target should send the major status to the initiator and expect no more context tokens for that context. 4. LIPKEY Description 4.1. Mechanism Type The Object Identifier for LIPKEY is to be defined. 4.2. Name Types LIPKEY uses only the mechanism independent name types defined in RFC 2078. 4.3. Token Formats 4.3.1. Context Tokens GSS-API defines the context tokens as: InitialContextToken ::= -- option indication (delegation, etc.) indicated within -- mechanism-specific token [APPLICATION 0] IMPLICIT SEQUENCE { thisMech MechType, innerContextToken ANY DEFINED BY thisMech -- contents mechanism-specific -- ASN.1 structure not required } Expires: August 1999 [Page 10] INTERNET-DRAFT LIPKEY February 1999 SubsequentContextToken ::= innerContextToken ANY -- interpretation based on predecessor InitialContextToken -- ASN.1 structure not required The contents of the innerContextToken depend on whether the SPKM-1 context is established or not. 4.3.1.1. Context Tokens Prior to SPKM-1 Context Establishment In a LIPKEY InitialContextToken, thisMech will be the Object identifier for LIPKEY. However, as long as LIPKEY has not established the SPKM-1 mechanism, the innerContextToken for both the InitialContextToken and the SubsequentContextToken will be the output of an SPKM GSS_Init_sec_context or GSS_Accept_sec_context. So the LIPKEY innerContextToken would be either: * An InitialContextToken, with thisMech set to the object identifier for SPKM-1, with innerContextToken defined to be an SPKMInnerContextToken, as defined in RFC 2025. * A SubsequentContextToken, with innerContextToken defined to be SPKMInnerContextToken 4.3.1.2. Post-SPKM-1 Context Establishment Token Once the SPKM-1 context is established, there is just one token sent from the initiator to the target, and no token returned to initiator. This token is the result of a GSS_Wrap (conf_req is set to TRUE) of a user name and password by the SPKM-1 context. This is the SPKM-WRAP token and is partially reproduced here from RFC 2025: SPKM-WRAP ::= SEQUENCE { wrap-header Wrap-Header, wrap-body Wrap-Body } Wrap-Body ::= SEQUENCE { int-cksum BIT STRING, -- Checksum of header and data, -- calculated according to -- algorithm specified in int-alg -- field of wrap-header data BIT STRING -- encrypted data. } The "data" field of Wrap-Body is contains the result of encrypting this type: Expires: August 1999 [Page 11] INTERNET-DRAFT LIPKEY February 1999 UserName-Password ::= SEQUENCE { user-name OCTET STRING, -- each octet is an octet of a -- UTF-8 [RFC2279] string password OCTET STRING -- each octet is an octet of a -- UTF-8 [RFC2279] string } 4.3.2. Tokens from GSS_GetMIC and GSS_Wrap RFC 2078 defines the token emitted by GSS_GetMIC and GSS_Wrap as: PerMsgToken ::= -- as emitted by GSS_GetMIC and processed by GSS_VerifyMIC -- ASN.1 structure not required innerMsgToken ANY SealedMessage ::= -- as emitted by GSS_Wrap and processed by GSS_Unwrap -- includes internal, mechanism-defined indicator -- of whether or not encrypted -- ASN.1 structure not required sealedUserData ANY As one can seem there are no mechanism independent prefixes in PerMSGToken or SealedMessage, and no explicit mechanism specific information either. Since LIPKEY doesn't add any value to GSS_GetMIC and GSS_Wrap other than passing the message to the SPKM-1 GSS_GetMIC and GSS_Wrap, the PerMsgToken and SealedMessage tokens are exactly what SPKM-1's GSS_GetMIC and GSS_Wrap routines produce. 4.4. Quality of Protection LIPKEY, being a pass through for GSS_Wrap and GSS_GetMIC to SPKM-1, doesn't interpret or alter the QOPs passed to the aforementioned routines or received from their complements, GSS_Unwrap, and GSS_VerifyMIC. The SPKM-1 initiator and target negotiate the set of algorithms they mutually support. If a QOP of zero is specified, then the initiator and target will use the first C-ALG (privacy), and I-ALG integrity algorithm negotiated. SPKM also lets one explicitly specify mechanism specific and implementation specific algorithms, but the QOPs for additional algorithms outside of RFC 2025 both appear to be indeterminate. Since this memorandum adds a triple DES algorithm, it would be desirable to the the application ensure that it is used. Expires: August 1999 [Page 12] INTERNET-DRAFT LIPKEY February 1999 SPKM has a type of QOP that lets one specify a algorithm by relative strength. Since the key length of triple DES is 112 bits, one can specify a QOP of 0x14000002 to get strong privacy with DES_MAC integrity. Or just 0x2 to get just DES_MAC integrity. See section 5.2 of RFC 2025 to a fuller explanation. 5. Security Considerations 5.1. Password Management LIPKEY sends the clear text password encrypted by triple DES, so the risk in this approach is in how the target manages the password after it is done with it. Provided the target clears the memory (primary and secondary, such as disk) buffers that contained the password, and any hash of the password immediately after if has verify the user's password, this approach should be safe. 5.2. Certificate Authorities The initiator must have a list of trusted Certificate authorities in order to verify the checksum on the SPKM-1 target's context reply token. It if encounters a certificate signed by an unknown certificate authority, the initiator MUST NOT silently accept the certificate. If it does wish to accept the certificate, it MUST get confirmation from the user running the application that is using GSS-API.
