Introduction This document specifies a new Authorization Data container for Kerberos, called AD-CAMMAC (Container Authenticated by Multiple MACs), that supersedes AD-KDC-ISSUED. The container allows both the receiving application service and the Key Distribution Center (KDC) itself to verify the authenticity of the contained authorization data. The AD-CAMMAC container can also include additional verifiers that "trusted services" can use to verify the contained authorization data. 2. Requirements Language 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]. 3. Validation Kerberos ticket authorization data are highly sensitive and must be validated to insure that no tampering has occurred. Although authorization data are in the encrypted part of a Kerberos ticket and therefore have their integrity protected by the ticket encryption, clients can request that KDCs insert potentially arbitrary authorization data into tickets on their behalf. The Kerberos protocol specifications allow this client behavior because the originally envisioned usage of authorization data was to serve as restrictions on the client's privileges. Services that need to interpret specific authorization data as granting increased privileges need some way to ensure that the KDC originated those authorization data. In order to validate any information, the receiving application service needs to be able to cryptographically verify the data. This is done by introducing a new AuthorizationData element called AD- CAMMAC that contains enough information to bind the contents to a principal in a way that a receiving application service can verify autonomously without further contact with the KDC. The following information is needed: o The KDC MAC o The Service MAC Sorce, et al. Expires January 15, 2014 [Page 3] Internet-Draft Container Authenticated by Multiple MACs July 2013 o Optional Trusted Service MAC The KDC MAC is required to allow the KDC to validate the data without needing to recompute the contents at every Ticket Granting Service (TGS) request. The Service MAC is required so that the Service can verify that the authorization data has been validated by the KDC. The Trusted Service MAC is useful to verify the authenticity of the contents on the same host, when the data is received by a less trusted service and passed to a more trusted service on the same host without the need for additional round trips to the KDC. The ad-type for AD-CAMMAC is (TBD). 4. Encoding The Kerberos protocol is defined in [RFC4120] using Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) [X.680][X.690]. As such, this specification also uses the ASN.1 syntax for specifying both the abstract layout of the AD-CAMMAC attributes, as well as its encoding. Sorce, et al.

AD-CAMMAC KerberosV5CAMMAC DEFINITIONS EXPLICIT TAGS ::= BEGIN AD-CAMMAC ::= SEQUENCE { elements [0] AuthorizationData, kdc-verifier [1] Verifier-MAC, svc-verifier [2] Verifier-MAC OPTIONAL, other-verifiers [3] SEQUENCE OF Verifier } Verifier ::= CHOICE { mac Verifier-MAC, ... } Verifier-MAC ::= SEQUENCE { identifier [0] PrincipalName OPTIONAL, kvno [1] UInt32, enctype [2] Int32, mac [3] Checksum } AD-CAMMAC-BINDING ::= OCTET STRING END elements: A sequence of authorization data elements issued by the KDC. These elements are the authorization data that the verifier fields authenticate. Verifier: A CHOICE type that currently contains only one alternative: Verifier-MAC. Future extensions might add support for public-key signatures. Verifier-MAC: Contains a MAC computed over the encoding of the AuthorizationData value in the elements field of the AD-CAMMAC. The identifier, kvno, and enctype fields help the recipient locate the key required for verifying the MAC. Sorce, et al. Expires January 15, 2014 [Page 5] Internet-Draft Container Authenticated by Multiple MACs July 2013 AD-CAMMAC-BINDING: An optional AuthorizationData element that binds the CAMMAC contents to the enclosing ticket. This AuthorizationData element has ad-type number TBD, and if it appears in the AD-CAMMAC, it MUST be the first member of the elements field of the AD-CAMMAC. The contents of the AD-CAMMAC-BINDING element are a local matter for the KDC implementation. A KDC can use this element to checksum portions of the ticket outside of the CAMMAC, to ensure that a service has not tampered with them. This can be useful if the KDC implements a capability resembling the Windows Constrained Delegation (S4U2Proxy) [MS-SFU] extension. kdc-verifier: A Verifier-MAC where the key is the TGS key. The checksum type is the mandatory checksum type for the TGS key. svc-verifier: A Verifier-MAC where the key is the long-term key of the service for which the ticket is issued. The checksum type is the mandatory checksum type for the long-term key of the service. This field MUST be present if the service principal of the ticket is not the local TGS, including when the ticket is a cross-realm TGT. other-verifiers: A sequence of additional verifiers. In each additional Verifier- MAC, the key is the long-term key of the principal name specified in the identifier field. The PrincipalName MUST be present and be a valid principal in the realm. KDCs MAY add one or more 'trusted service' verifiers. Unless otherwise administratively configured, the 'trusted service' SHOULD be found by replacing the service identifier component of the principal name of the svc-verifier with 'host'. The checksum type is the mandatory checksum type for the long-term key (which one?) of the principal. The key usage is TBD. 5. Assigned numbers TBD 6. IANA Considerations TBD. Sorce, et al. Expires January 15, 2014 [Page 6] Internet-Draft Container Authenticated by Multiple MACs July 2013 7. Security Considerations Although authorization data are generally conveyed within the encrypted part of a ticket and are thereby protected by the existing encryption methods on the ticket, some authorization data requires the additional protection provided by the CAMMAC. Extracting a CAMMAC from a ticket for use as a credential removes it from the context of the ticket. In the general case, this could turn it into a bearer token, with all of the associated security implications. Also, the CAMMAC does not itself necessarily contain sufficient information to identify the client principal. Therefore, application protocols that rely on extracted CAMMACs might need to duplicate a substantial portion of the ticket contents and include that duplicated information in the authorization data contained within the CAMMAC. A KDC that needs to verify the contents of a CAMMAC in a non-TGS service ticket MUST ensure that the CAMMAC in the ticket is the same one that it inserted into the ticket. A malicious service could substitute legitimate CAMMACs from other tickets that it has received (but not fabricate completely new CAMMACs) into a service ticket. A CAMMAC by itself does not contain sufficient information to accomplish this. 8. Acknowledgements TBD. 9. References 9.1.
