Introduction This document defines security features for the Bundle Protocol [RFC5050] intended for use in delay-tolerant networks, in order to provide Delay-Tolerant Networking (DTN) security services. The Bundle Protocol is used in DTNs that overlay multiple networks, some of which may be challenged by limitations such as intermittent and possibly unpredictable loss of connectivity, long or variable delay, asymmetric data rates, and high error rates. The purpose of the Bundle Protocol is to support interoperability across such stressed networks. The Bundle Protocol is layered on top of Birrane Expires January 16, 2014 [Page 2] Internet-Draft SBSP July 2013 underlay-network-specific convergence layers, on top of network- specific lower layers, to enable an application in one network to communicate with an application in another network, both of which are spanned by the DTN. Security is important for the Bundle Protocol. The stressed environment of the underlying networks over which the Bundle Protocol operates makes it important for the DTN to be protected from unauthorized use, and this stressed environment poses unique challenges for the mechanisms needed to secure the Bundle Protocol. Furthermore, DTNs may be deployed in environments where a portion of the network might become compromised, posing the usual security challenges related to confidentiality, integrity, and availability. This document describes the Streamlined Bundle Security Protocol (SBSP), which provides security services for blocks within a bundle from the bundle source to the bundle destination. Specifically, the SBSP provides authentication, integrity, and confidentiality for bundles along a path through a network. SBSP applies, by definition, only to those nodes that implement it, known as "security-aware" nodes. There MAY be other nodes in the DTN that do not implement SBSP. All nodes can interoperate with the exception that SBSP security operations can only happen at SBSP security-aware nodes. 1.1. Related Documents This document is best read and understood within the context of the following other DTN documents: "Delay-Tolerant Networking Architecture" [RFC4838] defines the architecture for delay-tolerant networks, but does not discuss security at any length. The DTN Bundle Protocol [RFC5050] defines the format and processing of the blocks used to implement the Bundle Protocol, excluding the security-specific blocks defined here. The Bundle Security Protocol [RFC6257] introduces the concepts of security blocks for authentication, confidentiality, and integrity. The SBSP is based off of this document. Birrane Expires January 16, 2014 [Page 3] Internet-Draft SBSP July 2013 1.2. Terminology The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119]. We introduce the following terminology for purposes of clarity: o Source - the bundle node from which a bundle originates. o Destination - the bundle node to which a bundle is ultimately destined. o Forwarder - the bundle node that forwarded the bundle on its most recent hop. o Intermediate Receiver or "Next Hop" - the neighboring bundle node to which a forwarder forwards a bundle. o Path - the ordered sequence of nodes through which a bundle passes on its way from source to destination. This may or may not be known by the bundle, or any of the bundle nodes. Figure 1 below is adapted from [RFC5050] and shows four bundle nodes (denoted BN1, BN2, BN3, and BN4) that reside above some transport layer(s). Three distinct transport and network protocols (denoted T1 /N1, T2/N2, and T3/N3) are also shown. +---------v-| +->>>>>>>>>>v-+ +->>>>>>>>>>v-+ +-^---------+ | BN1 v | | ^ BN2 v | | ^ BN3 v | | ^ BN4 | +---------v-+ +-^---------v-+ +-^---------v-+ +-^---------+ | T1 v | + ^ T1/T2 v | + ^ T2/T3 v | | ^ T3 | +---------v-+ +-^---------v-+ +-^---------v + +-^---------+ | N1 v | | ^ N1/N2 v | | ^ N2/N3 v | | ^ N3 | +---------v-+ +-^---------v + +-^---------v-+ +-^---------+ | >>>>>>>>^ >>>>>>>>>>^ >>>>>>>>^ | +-----------+ +------------+ +-------------+ +-----------+ | | | | |<-- An Internet --->| |<--- An Internet --->| | | | | Figure 1: Bundle Nodes Sit at the Application Layer of the Internet Model BN1 originates a bundle that it forwards to BN2. BN2 forwards the bundle to BN3, and BN3 forwards the bundle to BN4. BN1 is the source Birrane Expires January 16, 2014 [Page 4] Internet-Draft SBSP July 2013 of the bundle and BN4 is the destination of the bundle. BN1 is the first forwarder, and BN2 is the first intermediate receiver; BN2 then becomes the forwarder, and BN3 the intermediate receiver; BN3 then becomes the last forwarder, and BN4 the last intermediate receiver, as well as the destination. If node BN2 originates a bundle (for example, a bundle status report or a custodial signal), which is then forwarded on to BN3, and then to BN4, then BN2 is the source of the bundle (as well as being the first forwarder of the bundle) and BN4 is the destination of the bundle (as well as being the final intermediate receiver). We introduce the following security-specific DTN terminology: o Security-Service - the security features supported by this specification: authentication, integrity, and confidentiality. o Security-Source - a bundle node that adds a security block to a bundle. o Security-Destination - a bundle node that evaluates a security block from a bundle. When a security-service is applied hop-by- hop, the security-destination is the next intermediate receiver. Otherwise, the security-destination is the same as the bundle destination. o Security-Target - the portion of a bundle (e.g., the primary block, payload block, extension block, or entire bundle) that receives a security-service as part of a security-operation. o Security Block - a single instance of a SBSP extension block in a bundle. o Security-Operation - the application of a security-service to a specific security-target, notated as OP(security-service, security-target). For example, OP(authentication, bundle) or OP(confidentiality, payload). Every security-operation in a bundle must be unique, meaning that a security-service can only be applied to a security-target once in a bundle. A security- operation may be implemented by one or more security blocks. Referring to Figure 1 again: If the bundle that originates at BN1 is given security blocks by BN1, then BN1 is the security-source for those blocks as well as being the source of the bundle. If the bundle that originates at BN1 is then given a security block by BN2, then BN2 is the security-source for that block even though BN1 remains the bundle source. Birrane Expires January 16, 2014 [Page 5] Internet-Draft SBSP July 2013 A bundle MAY have multiple security blocks and these blocks MAY have different security-sources. Each security block in a bundle will be associated with a specific security-operation. All security blocks comprising a security-operation MUST have the same security-source and security-destination. The destination of all security blocks in a bundle MUST be the bundle destination, with the exception of authentication security blocks, whose destination is the next hop along the bundle path. In a DTN, there is typically no guarantee that a bundle will visit a particular intermediate receiver during its journey, or that a particular series of intermediate receivers will be visited in a particular order. Security-destinations different from bundle destinations would place a tight (and possibly intractable) coupling between security and routing services in an overlay network. In cases where paths are both known and unchanging, security tunnels may be constructed separately from this security protocol specification. As required in [RFC5050], forwarding nodes MUST transmit blocks in a bundle in the same order in which they were received. This requirement applies to all DTN nodes, not just ones that implement security processing. Blocks in a bundle MAY be added or deleted according to the applicable specification, but those blocks that are both received and transmitted MUST be transmitted in the same order that they were received. If a node is not security-aware, then it forwards the security blocks in the bundle unchanged unless the bundle's block processing flags specify otherwise. If a network has some nodes that are not security-aware, then the block processing flags SHOULD be set such that security blocks are not discarded at those nodes solely because they cannot be processed there. Except for this, the non-security- aware nodes are transparent relay points and are invisible as far as security processing is concerned. 2. Security Block Definitions There are three types of security blocks that MAY be included in a bundle. These are the Bundle Authentication Block (BAB), the Block Integrity Block (BIB), and the Block Confidentiality Block (BCB). The BAB is used to ensure the authenticity and integrity of the bundle along a single hop from forwarder to intermediate receiver. As such, BABs operate between topologically adjacent nodes. Security-aware nodes MAY require BABs from a given neighbor in the network in order to receive and process a received bundle. Birrane Expires January 16, 2014 [Page 6] Internet-Draft SBSP July 2013 The BIB is used to ensure the authenticity and integrity of its security-target from the BIB security-source, which creates the BIB, to the bundle destination, which verifies the BIB authenticator. The authentication information in the BIB MAY (when possible) be verified by any node in between the BIB security-source and the bundle destination. The BCB indicates that the security-target has been encrypted, in whole or in part, at the BCB security-source in order to protect its content while in transit to the bundle destination. Certain ciphersuites may allow or require multiple instances of a block to appear in the bundle. For example, an authentication ciphersuite may require two security blocks, one before the payload block and one after. Despite the presence of two security blocks, they both comprise the same security-operation - OP(authentication,bundle) in this example. A security-operation MAY NOT be applied more than once in a bundle. For example, the two security-operations: OP(integrity, payload) and OP(integrity, payload) are redudant and may not appear together in a bundle. However, the two security operations OP(integrity, payload) and OP(integrity, extension_block_1) MAY both be present in the bundle. Also, the two security operations OP(integrity, extension_block_1) and OP(integrity, extension_block_2) are unique and may both appear in the same bundle. Each security block uses the Canonical Bundle Block Format as defined in [RFC5050]. That is, each security block is comprised of the following elements: o Block-type code o Block processing control flags o Block EID-reference list (OPTIONAL) o Block data length o Block-type-specific data fields Since the three security blocks have most fields in common, we can shorten the description of the Block-type-specific data fields of each security block if we first define an abstract security block (ASB) and then specify each of the real blocks in terms of the fields that are present/absent in an ASB. Note that no bundle ever contains an actual ASB, which is simply a specification artifact. Birrane Expires January 16, 2014 [Page 7] Internet-Draft SBSP July 2013 2.1. Abstract Security Block The structure of an Abstract Security Block is given in Figure 2. Although the diagram hints at a fixed-format layout, this is purely for the purpose of exposition. Except for the "type" field, all fields are variable in length. Many of the fields below use the Self-Delimiting Numeric Value (SDNV) type whose format and encoding is as defined in [RFC5050]. +-----------------------------+----------------------------------+ | Block Type Code (BYTE) | Processing Control Flags (SDNV) | +-----------------------------+----------------------------------+ | EID Reference Count and List (Compound List) | +-----------------------------+----------------------------------+ | Block Length (SDNV) | Security Target (Compound) | +-----------------------------+----------------------------------+ | Ciphersuite ID (SDNV) | Ciphersuite Flags (SDNV) | +-----------------------------+----------------------------------+ | Params Length (SDNV) | Params Data (Compound) | +-----------------------------+----------------------------------+ | Result Length (SDNV) | Result Data (Compound) | +-----------------------------+----------------------------------+ Figure 2: Abstract Security Block Structure An ASB consists of the following fields, some of which are optional. o Block-Type Code (Byte) - as described in [RFC5050]. The block- type codes for security blocks are: BundleAuthenticationBlock - BAB: 0x02 BlockIntegrityBlock - BIB: 0x03 BlockConfidentialityBlock - BCB: 0x04 o Block Processing Control Flags (SDNV) - as described in [RFC5050]. There are no general constraints on the use of the block processing control flags, and some specific requirements are discussed later. o (OPTIONAL) EID Reference Count and List - as described in [RFC5050]. Presence of the EID-reference field is indicated by the setting of the "Block contains an EID-reference field" (EID_REF) bit of the block processing control flags. If no EID fields are present, then the composite field itself MUST be omitted entirely and the EID_REF bit MUST be unset. A count field of zero is not permitted. The possible EIDs are: Birrane Expires January 16, 2014 [Page 8] Internet-Draft SBSP July 2013 (OPTIONAL) Security-source - specifies the security-source for the block. If this is omitted, then the source of the bundle is assumed to be the security-source unless otherwise indicated by policy or associated ciphersuite definition. When present, the Security-Source MUST be the first EID in the list. (OPTIONAL) Unique Identifier - specifies the bundle-unique identifier for the block. This is discussed in more detail in the Security-Target section below. o Block Length (SDNV) - as described in [RFC5050]. o Block-type-specific data fields as follows: * Security-Target (Compound) - Uniquely identifies the target of the associated security-operation. The security-target for any security block MUST be unambiguous in the context of the bundle in which it resides. Currently, [RFC5050] provides no mechanism for uniquely identifying a block within a bundle. Absent a formal mechanism for block identification, we RECOMMEND the following algorithm for uniquely identifying a block within a bundle. Each block may be given a unique EID in its EID references using the block type as its scheme and a subscript as its scheme-specific part. For guaranteed unique block types (such as the payload block) the associated SSP is set at 0. For block types that are not guaranteed to be unique, the SSP will be used to uniquely identify the block. A security-target may specify this and nodes may first select on block type and then subselect by subscript when matching the security-target to an actual extension block. * Ciphersuite ID (SDNV) * Ciphersuite flags (SDNV) * (OPTIONAL) Ciphersuite-Parameters - compound field of the next two items. + Ciphersuite-parameters length (SDNV) - specifies the length of the next field, which is the ciphersuite-parameters data field. + Ciphersuite-parameters data - parameters to be used with the ciphersuite in use, e.g., a key identifier or initialization Birrane Expires January 16, 2014 [Page 9] Internet-Draft SBSP July 2013 vector (IV). See Section 2.7 for a list of potential parameters and their encoding rules. The particular set of parameters that is included in this field is defined as part of a ciphersuite specification. * (OPTIONAL) Security-Result - compound field of the next two items. + Security-result length (SDNV) - contains the length of the next field, which is the security-result data field. + Security-result data - contains the results of the appropriate ciphersuite-specific calculation (e.g., a signature, Message Authentication Code (MAC), or ciphertext block key). The structure of the ciphersuite flags field is shown in Figure 3. In each case, the presence of an optional field is indicated by setting the value of the corresponding flag to one. A value of zero indicates the corresponding optional field is missing. Presently, there are three flags defined for the field; for convenience, these are shown as they would be extracted from a single-byte SDNV. Future additions may cause the field to grow to the left so, as with the flags fields defined in [RFC5050], the description below numbers the bit positions from the right rather than the standard RFC definition, which numbers bits from the left. bits 6-3 are reserved for future use. src - bit 2 indicates whether the EID-reference field of the ASB contains the optional reference to the security-source. parm - bit 1 indicates whether or not the ciphersuite-parameters length and ciphersuite-parameters data fields are present. res - bit 0 indicates whether or not the ASB contains the security-result length and security-result data fields.

Block Ordering Birrane Expires January 16, 2014 [Page 10] Internet-Draft SBSP July 2013 A security-operation may be implemented in a bundle using either one or two security blocks. For example, the operation OP(authentication, bundle) MAY be accomplished by a single BAB block in the bundle, or it MAY be accomplished by two BAB blocks in the bundle. To avoid confusion, we use the following terminology to identify the block or blocks comprising a security-operation. The terms "First" and "Last" are used ONLY when describing multiple security blocks comprising a single security-operation. A "First" block refers to the security block that is closest to the primary block in the canonical form of the bundle. A "Last" block refers to the security block that is furthest from the primary block in the canonical form of the bundle. If a single security block implements the security-operation, then it is referred to as a "Lone" block. For example, when a bundle authentication ciphersuite requires a single BAB block we refer to it as a Lone BAB. When a bundle authentication ciphersuite requires two BAB blocks we refer to them as the First BAB and the Last BAB. This specification and individual ciphersuites impose restrictions on what optional fields must and must not appear in First blocks, Last blocks, and Lone blocks. 2.3. Bundle Authentication Block This section describes typical field values for the BAB, which is solely used to implement OP(authentication, bundle). The block-type code field value MUST be 0x02. The block processing control flags value can be set to whatever values are required by local policy. Ciphersuite designers should carefully consider the effect of setting flags that either discard the block or delete the bundle in the event that this block cannot be processed. The security-target MUST be the entire bundle, which MUST be represented by a type of 0x00. The ciphersuite ID MUST be documented as a hop-by-hop authentication-ciphersuite. When a Lone BAB is used, the ciphersuite MUST be documented as requiring one instance of the BAB. When a First BAB and Last BAB are used, the ciphersuite MUST be documented as requiring two instances of the BAB. The ciphersuite-parameters field MAY be present, if so specified in the ciphersuite specification. Birrane Expires January 16, 2014 [Page 11] Internet-Draft SBSP July 2013 An EID-reference to the security-source MAY be present in either a First BAB or a Lone BAB. An EID-reference to the security-source MAY NOT be present in a Last BAB. The security-result captures the result of applying the ciphersuite calculation (e.g., the MAC or signature) to the relevant parts of the bundle, as specified in the ciphersuite definition. This field MUST be present in either a Lone BAB or a Last BAB. This field MUST NOT be present in a First BAB. Notes: o When multiple BAB blocks are used, the mandatory fields of the Last BAB must match those of the First BAB. o The First BAB or Lone BAB, when present, SHOULD immediately follow the primary block. o A Last BAB, when present, SHOULD be the last block in the bundle. o Since OP(authentication, bundle) is allowed only once in a bundle, it is RECOMMENDED that users wishing to support multiple authentication signatures define a multi-target ciphersuite, capturing multiple security results in ciphersuite parameters. 2.4. Block Integrity Block A BIB is an ASB with the following additional restrictions: The block-type code value MUST be 0x03. The block processing control flags value can be set to whatever values are required by local policy. Ciphersuite designers should carefully consider the effect of setting flags that either discard the block or delete the bundle in the event that this block cannot be processed. The security-target MUST uniquely identify a block within the bundle. The reserved block type 0x01 specifies the payload block. The reserved type 0x00 specifies the primary block. The security- target for a BIB MAY NOT reference a security block defined in this specification (BAB, BIB, or BCB). The ciphersuite ID MUST be documented as an end-to-end authentication-ciphersuite or as an end-to-end error-detection- ciphersuite. Birrane Expires January 16, 2014 [Page 12] Internet-Draft SBSP July 2013 The ciphersuite-parameters field MAY be present in either a Lone BIB or a First BIB. This field MAY NOT be present in a Last BIB. An EID-reference to the security-source MAY be present in either a Lone BIB or a First BIB. This field MAY NOT be present in a Last BIB. The security-result captures the result of applying the ciphersuite calculation (e.g., the MAC or signature) to the relevant parts of the security-target, as specified in the ciphersuite definition. This field MUST be present in either a Lone BIB or a Last BIB. This field MUST NOT be present in a First BIB. The ciphersuite MAY process less than the entire security-target. If the ciphersuite processes less than the complete, original security-target, the ciphersuite-parameters MUST specify which bytes of the security-target are protected. Notes: o Since OP(integrity, target) is allowed only once in a bundle per target, it is RECOMMENDED that users wishing to support multiple integrity signatures for the same target define a multi-signature ciphersuite, capturing multiple security results in ciphersuite parameters. o For some ciphersuites, (e.g., those using asymmetric keying to produce signatures or those using symmetric keying with a group key), the security information MAY be checked at any hop on the way to the destination that has access to the required keying information, in accordance with Section 2.6. o The use of a generally available key is RECOMMENDED if custodial transfer is employed and all nodes SHOULD verify the bundle before accepting custody. 2.5. Block Confidentiality Block A BCB is an ASB with the following additional restrictions: The block-type code value MUST be 0x04. The block processing control flags value can be set to whatever values are required by local policy, except that a Lone BCB or First BCB MUST have the "replicate in every fragment" flag set. This flag SHOULD NOT be set otherwise. Ciphersuite designers should carefully consider the effect of setting flags that either Birrane Expires January 16, 2014 [Page 13] Internet-Draft SBSP July 2013 discard the block or delete the bundle in the event that this block cannot be processed. The security-target MUST uniquely identify a block within the bundle. The security-target for a BCB MAY reference the payload block, a non-security extension block, or a BIB block. The reserved type 0x01 specifies the payload block. The ciphersuite ID MUST be documented as a confidentiality ciphersuite. Key-information, if available, MUST appear only in a Lone BCB or a First BCB. Any additional bytes generated as a result of encryption and/or authentication processing of the security-target SHOULD be placed in an "integrity check value" field (see Section 2.7) in the security-result of the Lone BCB or First BCB. The ciphersuite-parameters field MAY be present in either a Lone BCB or a First BCB. This field MAY NOT be present in a Last BCB. An EID-reference to the security-source MAY be present in either a Lone BCB or a First BCB. This field MAY NOT be present in a Last BCB. The security-source can also be specified as part of key- information described in Section 2.7. The security-result MAY be present in either a Lone BCB or a Last BCB. This field MAY NOT be present in a First BCB. This compound field normally contains fields such as an encrypted EK and/or authentication tag. The BCB is the only security block that modifies the contents of its security-target. When a BCB is applied, the security-target body data are encrypted "in-place". Following encryption, the security- target body data contains ciphertext, not plaintext. Other security- target block fields (such as type, processing control flags, and length) remain unmodified. Fragmentation, reassembly, and custody transfer are adversely affected by a change in size of the payload due to ambiguity about what byte range of the block is actually in any particular fragment. Therefore, when the security-target of a BCB is the bundle payload, the BCB MUST NOT alter the size of the payload block body data. Ciphersuites SHOULD place any block expansion, such as authentication tags (integrity check values) and any padding generated by a block- mode cipher, into an integrity check value item in the security- result field (see Section 2.7) of the BCB. This "in-place" Birrane Expires January 16, 2014 [Page 14] Internet-Draft SBSP July 2013 encryption allows fragmentation, reassembly, and custody transfer to operate without knowledge of whether or not encryption has occurred. Notes: o The ciphersuite MAY process less than the entire original security-target body data. If the ciphersuite processes less than the complete, original security-target body data, the BCB for that security-target MUST specify, as part of the ciphersuite- parameters, which bytes of the body data are protected. o The BCB's "discard" flag may be set independently from its security-target's "discard" flag. Whether or not the BCB's "discard" flag is set is an implementation/policy decision for the encrypting node. (The "discard" flag is more properly called the "Discard if block cannot be processed" flag.) o A BCB MAY include information as part of additional authenticated data to address parts of the target block, such as EID references, that are not converted to ciphertext. At the bundle destination, the processes described above are reversed. 2.6. Block Interactions The three security-block types defined in this specification are designed to be as independent as possible. While correlating multiple block instances may result in minor space savings due to shared information, such correlation also has the potential to increase computational complexity and processing ambiguity. However, there are some cases where security blocks may share a security- target creating processing dependencies. If confidentiality is being applied to a target that already has integrity applied to it, then an undesireable condition occurs where a security-aware intermediate node would be unable to check the integrity result of a block because the block contents have been encrupted after the integrity signature was generated. To address this concern, the following processing rules MUST be followed. o If confidentiality is to be applied to a target, it MUST also be applied to every integrity operation already defined for that target. This means that is a BCB is added to encrypt a block, another BCB MUST also be added to encrypt a BIB also targeting that block. Birrane Expires January 16, 2014 [Page 15] Internet-Draft SBSP July 2013 o An integrity value MAY NOT be evaluated if the BIB providing the integrity value is the security target of an existing BCB block in the bundle. In such a case, the BIB data contains ciphertext as it has been encrypted. o An integrity value MAY NOT be evaluated if the security-target of the BIB is also the security-target of a BCB in the bundle. In such a case, the security-target data contains ciphertext as it has been encrypted. o As mentioned in Section 2.5, a BIB MAY NOT has a BCB as its security target. BCBs may embed integrity results as part of ciphersuite parameters. 2.7. Parameters and Result Fields Various ciphersuites include several items in the security-parameters and/or security-result fields. Which items MAY appear is defined by the particular ciphersuite description. A ciphersuite MAY support several instances of the same type within a single block. Each item is represented as a type-length-value. Type is a single byte indicating which item this is. Length is the count of data bytes to follow, and is an SDNV-encoded integer. Value is the data content of the item. Item types are 0: Reserved 1: Initialization Vector (IV) 2: Reserved 3: Key-Information 4: Content-Range (offset and length as a pair of SDNVs) 5: Integrity Signature 6: Unassigned 7: Salt 8: BCB Integrity Check Value (ICV), which is also referred to as the Authentication Tag in this specification. 9 - 255: reserved Birrane Expires January 16, 2014 [Page 16] Internet-Draft SBSP July 2013 The following descriptions apply to the usage of these items for all ciphersuites. Additional characteristics are noted in the discussion for specific suites. o Initialization Vector (IV): random value, typically eight to sixteen bytes. o Key-Information: key material encoded or protected by the key management system and used to transport an ephemeral key protected by a long-term key. o Content-Range: pair of SDNV values (offset then length) specifying the range of payload bytes to which a particular operation applies. The offset value MUST be the offset within the original bundle, which might not be the offset within the current bundle if the current bundle is already a fragment. o Integrity Signature: result of BAB or BIB digest or signing operation. o Salt: an IV-like value used by certain confidentiality suites. o BCB integrity check value (ICV): output from certain confidentiality ciphersuite operations to be used at the destination to verify that the protected data has not been modified. This value MAY contain padding if required by the ciphersuite. 2.8. BSP Block Example An example of SBSP blocks applied to a bundle is illustrated in Figure 4. In this figure the first column represents blocks within a bundle and the second column represents a unique identifier for each block, suitable for use as the security-target of a SBSP security- block. Since the mechnism and format of a security-target is not specified in this document, the terminology B1...Bn is used to identify blocks in the bundle for the purposes of illustration. Block in Bundle ID +=================================+====+ | Primary Block | B1 | +---------------------------------+----+ | First BAB | B2 | | OP(authentication, Bundle) | | +---------------------------------+----+ | Lone BIB | B3 | | OP(integrity, target=B1) | | Birrane Expires January 16, 2014 [Page 17] Internet-Draft SBSP July 2013 +---------------------------------+----+ | Lone BCB | B4 | | OP(confidentiality, target=B5) | | +---------------------------------+----+ | Extension Block | B5 | +---------------------------------+----+ | Lone BIB | B6 | | OP(integrity, target=B7) | | +---------------------------------+----+ | Extension Block | B7 | +---------------------------------+----+ | Lone BCB | B8 | | OP(confidentiality, target=B9) | | +---------------------------------+----+ | Lone BIB (encrypted by B8) | B9 | | OP(integrity, target=B11) | | +---------------------------------+----+ | Lone BCB |B10 | | OP(confidentiality, target=B11) | | +---------------------------------+----+ | Payload Block |B11 | +---------------------------------+----+ | Last BAB |B12 | | OP(authentication, Bundle) | | +---------------------------------+----+ Figure 4: Sample Use of BSP Blocks In this example a bundle has four non-security-related blocks: the primary block, two extension blocks, and a payload block. The following security applications are applied to this bundle. o Authentication over the bundle. This is accomplished by two BAB blocks: B2 and B12. o An integrity signature applied to the primary block. This is accomplished by a single BIB, B3. o Confidentiality for the first extension block. This is accomplished by a single BCB block, B4. o Integrity for the second extension block. This is accomplished by a single BIB block, B6. o An integrity signature on the payload. This is accomplished by a single BIB block, B9. Birrane Expires January 16, 2014 [Page 18] Internet-Draft SBSP July 2013 o Confidentiality for the payload block and it's integrity signature. This is accomplished by two Lone BCB blocks: B8 encrypting B9, and B10 encrypting B11. 3. Security Processing This section describes the security aspects of bundle processing. 3.1. Canonical Forms In order to verify a signature or MAC on a bundle, the exact same bits, in the exact same order, MUST be input to the calculation upon verification as were input upon initial computation of the original signature or MAC value. Consequently, a node MUST NOT change the encoding of any URI [RFC3986] in the dictionary field, e.g., changing the DNS part of some HTTP URL from lower case to upper case. Because bundles MAY be modified while in transit (either correctly or due to implementation errors), canonical forms of security-targets MUST be defined. 3.1.1. Bundle Canonicalization Bundle canonicalization permits no changes at all to the bundle between the security-source and the destination, with the exception of one of the Block Processing Control Flags, as described below. It is intended for use in BAB ciphersuites. This algorithm conceptually catenates all blocks in the order presented, but omits all security- result data fields in security blocks having the bundle as their security-target. For example, when a BAB ciphersuite specifies this algorithm, we omit the BAB security-result from the catenation. Security-result length fields MAY or MAY NOT be included, even though their corresponding security-result data fields are omitted, as specified by the ciphersuite. Notes: o In the Block Processing Control Flags field, in every block other than the Primary Block, the flag at bit 5, "Block was forwarded without being processed" is zeroed out. The Block Processing Control Flags field, which is an SDNV, is unpacked into a fixed- width field, and some bits are masked out. The unpacked field is ANDed with mask 0xFFFF FFFF FFFF FFDF to set to zero the "Block was forwarded without being processed" bit. If this flag is not zeroed out, then a bundle passes through a non-security aware node, this flag will be set. This will then change the message digest, and a BAB block will fail to verify. Birrane Expires January 16, 2014 [Page 19] Internet-Draft SBSP July 2013 o In the above, we specify that security-result data is omitted. This means that no bytes of the security-result data are input. If the security-result length is included in the catenation, we assume that the security-result length will be known to the module that implements the ciphersuite before the security-result is calculated, and require that this value be in the security-result length field even though the security-result data itself will be omitted. o The 'res' bit of the ciphersuite ID, which indicates whether or not the security-result length and security-result data field are present, is part of the canonical form. o The value of the block data length field, which indicates the length of the block, is also part of the canonical form. Its value indicates the length of the entire block when the block includes the security-result data field. 3.1.2. Block Canonicalization This algorithm protects those parts of a block that SHOULD NOT be changed in transit. Many fields in various blocks are stored as variable-length SDNVs. These are canonicalized in unpacked form, as eight-byte fixed-width fields in network byte order. The size of eight bytes is chosen because implementations MAY handle larger values as invalid, as noted in [RFC5050]. There are three types of blocks that may undergo block canonicalization: the primary block, the payload block, or an extension block. 3.1.2.1. Primary Block Canonicalization The canonical form of the primary block is shown in Figure 5. Essentially, it de-references the dictionary block, adjusts lengths where necessary, and ignores flags that MAY change in transit. +----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+ | Version | Processing flags (incl. COS and SRR) | +----------------+----------------+---------------------------------+ | Canonical primary block length | +----------------+----------------+---------------------------------+ | Destination endpoint ID length | +----------------+----------------+---------------------------------+ | Destination endpoint ID | +----------------+----------------+---------------------------------+ Birrane Expires January 16, 2014 [Page 20] Internet-Draft SBSP July 2013 | Source endpoint ID length | +----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+ | Source endpoint ID | +----------------+----------------+---------------------------------+ | Report-to endpoint ID length | +----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+ | Report-to endpoint ID | +----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+ + Creation Timestamp (2 x SDNV) + +---------------------------------+---------------------------------+ | Lifetime | +----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+ Figure 5: The Canonical Form of the Primary Bundle Block The fields shown in Figure 5 are as follows: o The version value is the single-byte value in the primary block. o The processing flags value in the primary block is an SDNV, and includes the class-of-service (COS) and status report request (SRR) fields. For purposes of canonicalization, the SDNV is unpacked into a fixed-width field, and some bits are masked out. The unpacked field is ANDed with mask 0x0000 0000 0007 C1BE to set to zero all reserved bits and the "bundle is a fragment" bit. o The canonical primary block length value is a four-byte value containing the length (in bytes) of this structure, in network byte order. o The destination endpoint ID length and value are the length (as a four-byte value in network byte order) and value of the destination endpoint ID from the primary bundle block. The URI is simply copied from the relevant part(s) of the dictionary block and is not itself canonicalized. Although the dictionary entries contain "null-terminators", the null-terminators are not included in the length or the canonicalization. o The source endpoint ID length and value are handled similarly to the destination. o The report-to endpoint ID length and value are handled similarly to the destination. o The creation timestamp (2 x SDNV) and lifetime (SDNV) are simply copied from the primary block, with the SDNV values being represented as eight-byte unpacked values, in network byte order. Birrane Expires January 16, 2014 [Page 21] Internet-Draft SBSP July 2013 o Fragment offset and total application data unit length are ignored, as is the case for the "bundle is a fragment" bit mentioned above. If the payload data to be canonicalized is less than the complete, original bundle payload, the offset and length are specified in the security-parameters. 3.1.2.2. Payload Block Canonicalization Payload blocks are canonicalized as-is, with the exception that, in some instances, only a portion of the payload data is to be protected. In such a case, only those bytes are included in the canonical form, and additional ciphersuite-parameters are required to specify which part of the payload is protected, as discussed further below. 3.1.2.3. Extension Block Canonicalization When canonicalizing an extension block, the block processing control flags value used for canonicalization is the unpacked SDNV value with reserved and mutable bits masked to zero. The unpacked value is ANDed with mask 0x0000 0000 0000 0057 to zero reserved bits, the "last block" flag and the "Block was forwarded without being processed" bit. The "last block" flag is ignored because BABs and other security blocks MAY be added for some parts of the journey but not others, so the setting of this bit might change from hop to hop. The "Block was forwarded without being processed" flag is ignored because the bundle may pass through nodes that do not understand that extension block and this flag would be set. Endpoint ID references in blocks are canonicalized using the de- referenced text form in place of the reference pair. The reference count is not included, nor is the length of the endpoint ID text. The EID reference is, therefore, canonicalized as :, which includes the ":" character. The block-length is canonicalized as an eight-byte unpacked value in network byte order. If the data to be canonicalized is less than the complete, original block data, this field contains the size of the data being canonicalized (the "effective block") rather than the actual size of the block. 3.1.3. Considerations o The canonical forms for the bundle and various extension blocks is not transmitted. It is simply an artifact used as input to digesting. Birrane Expires January 16, 2014 [Page 22] Internet-Draft SBSP July 2013 o We omit the reserved flags because we cannot determine if they will change in transit. The masks specified above will have to be revised if additional flags are defined and they need to be protected. o Our URI encoding does not preserve the null-termination convention from the dictionary field, nor do we canonicalize the scheme and scheme-specific part (SSP) separately. Instead, the byte array < scheme name > : < scheme-specific part (SSP)> is used in the canonicalization. o Since neither the length of the canonicalized EID text nor a null- terminator is used in EID canonicalization, a separator token MUST be used to determine when one EID ends and another begins. When multiple EIDs are canonicalized together, the character "," SHALL be placed between adjacent instances of EID text. o The URI encoding will cause errors if any node rewrites the dictionary content (e.g., changing the DNS part of an HTTP URL from lower case to upper case). This could happen transparently when a bundle is synched to disk using one set of software and then read from disk and forwarded by a second set of software. Because there are no general rules for canonicalizing URIs (or IRIs), this problem may be an unavoidable source of integrity failures. o All SDNV fields here are canonicalized as eight-byte unpacked values in network byte order. Length fields are canonicalized as four-byte values in network byte order. Encoding does not need optimization since the values are never sent over the network. o These canonicalization algorithms assume that endpoint IDs themselves are immutable and they are unsuitable for use in environments where that assumption might be violated. o Ciphersuites MAY define their own canonicalization algorithms and require the use of those algorithms over the ones provided in this specification. 3.2. Endpoint ID Confidentiality Every bundle MUST contain a primary block that contains the source and destination endpoint IDs, and possibly other EIDs (in the dictionary field), and that cannot be encrypted. If endpoint ID confidentiality is required, then bundle-in-bundle encapsulation can solve this problem in some instances. Birrane Expires January 16, 2014 [Page 23] Internet-Draft SBSP July 2013 Similarly, confidentiality requirements MAY also apply to other parts of the primary block (e.g., the current-custodian), and that is supported in the same manner. 3.3. Bundles Received from Other Nodes Security blocks MUST be processed in a specific order when received by a security-aware node. The processing order is as follows. o All BAB blocks in the bundle MUST be evaluated prior to evaluating any other block in the bundle. o All BCB blocks in the bundle SHOULD be evaluated prior to evaluating any BIBs in the bundle. When BIBs and BCBs share a security-target, BCBs MUST be evaluated first and BIBs second. Nodes implementing this specification SHALL consult their security policy to determine whether or not a received bundle is required by policy to include a BAB. If the bundle has no BAB, and one is not required, then BAB processing on the received bundle is complete, and the bundle is ready to be further processed for BIB/BCB handling or delivery or forwarding. If the bundle is required to have a BAB but does not, then the bundle MUST be discarded and processed no further. If the BAB security- source cannot be determined or the security-result value check fails, the bundle has failed to authenticate, and the bundle MUST be discarded and processed no further. If the BAB verifies, or if a BAB is not required, the bundle is ready for further processing as determined by extension blocks and/or policy. A BAB received in a bundle MUST be stripped before the bundle is forwarded. A new BAB MAY be added as required by policy. This MAY require correcting the "last block" field of the to-be-forwarded bundle. If the bundle has a BIB and the receiving node is the destination for the bundle, the node MUST verify the security-target in accordance with the ciphersuite specification. If the security-target fails to verify, it MUST be processed in accordance with the security policy of the node. If the security policy of a security-aware node specifies that a bundle SHOULD apply integrity to a specific security-target and no such BIB is present in the bundle, then the node MUST process this security-target in accordance with the security policy. This MAY involve removing the security-target from the bundle. If the removed security-target is the payload or primary block, the bundle MAY be Birrane Expires January 16, 2014 [Page 24] Internet-Draft SBSP July 2013 discarded. This action MAY occur at any node that has the ability to verify an integrity signature, not just the bundle destination. If the bundle has a BCB and the receiving node is the destination for the bundle, the node MUST decrypt the relevant parts of the security- target in accordance with the ciphersuite specification. If the relevant parts of an encrypted payload cannot be decrypted (i.e., the decryption key cannot be deduced or decryption fails), then the bundle MUST be discarded and processed no further; in this case, a bundle deletion status report (see [RFC5050]) indicating the decryption failure MAY be generated. If any other encrypted security-target cannot be decrypted then the associated security- target and all security blocks associated with that target MUST be discarded and processed no further. When a BCB is decrypted, the recovered plaintext MUST replace the ciphertext in the security-target body data If the bundle has one or more BIBs and the receiving node is the bundle's destination, the node MUST verify the value in each BIB security-result field(s) in accordance with the ciphersuite specification. If a BIB check fails, the security-target has failed to authenticate and the security-target SHALL be processed according to the security policy. A bundle status report indicating the failure MAY be generated. Otherwise, if the BIB verifies, the security-target is ready to be processed for delivery. If the bundle has a BIB and the receiving node is not the bundle destination, the receiving node MAY attempt to verify the value in the security-result field. If it is able to check and the check fails, the node SHALL process the security-target in accordance to local security policy. It is RECOMMENDED that if a payload integrity check fails that the bundle be discarded and that if an extension block integrity check fails, the block and all security blocks using it as their security-target be removed from the bundle. 3.4. Bundle Fragmentation and Reassembly If it is necessary for a node to fragment a bundle and security services have been applied to that bundle, the fragmentation rules described in [RFC5050] MUST be followed. As defined there and repeated here for completeness, only the payload MAY be fragmented; security blocks, like all extension blocks, can never be fragmented. In addition, the following security-specific processing is REQUIRED: Birrane Expires January 16, 2014 [Page 25] Internet-Draft SBSP July 2013 o The security policy requirements for a bundle MUST be applied individually to all the bundles resulting from a fragmentation event. o If the original bundle contained the security-operation OP(integrity, payload), then each of the associated BIB blocks MUST be included in some fragment. o If the original bundle contained the security-operation OP(confidentiality, payload), then the "first" BCB block, which contains key-information, MUST have the "replicate in every fragment" flag set, and thereby be replicated in every fragment. This is to ensure that the canonical block-sequence can be recovered during reassembly. The Last BCB for this security- operation, if any, MUST be included in some fragment but SHOULD NOT be sent more than once. They MUST be placed in a fragment in accordance with the fragmentation rules described in [RFC5050]. o Due to the complexity of bundle fragmentation, including the possibility of fragmenting bundle fragments, integrity and confidentiality operations are not to be applied to a bundle fragment. Specifically, a BCB or BIB may not be added to a bundle fragment, even if the security-target of the security block is not the payload. When integrity and confidentiality must be applied to a fragment, we RECOMMEND that encapsulation be used instead. o Ciphersuites that support applying security-services to less than the complete, original security-target MUST specify, as part of the ciphersuite-parameters, which bytes of the security-target are affected. When verification occurs, only the specified range of the security-target bytes are used for verification. o A BAB ciphersuite MAY specified that it only applied to non- fragmented bundles and not to bundle fragments. o A ciphersuite MAY be specified to apply to only a portion of a security-target, regardless of whether the security-target is a fragment. o The decision to fragment a bundle MUST be made prior to adding authentication to the bundle. A bundle with BAB blocks MAY NOT be fragmented. Instead, the bundle MUST first be fragmented and authentication applied to each individual fragment. 3.5. Reactive Fragmentation When a partial bundle has been received, the receiving node SHALL consult its security policy to determine if it MAY fragment the Birrane Expires January 16, 2014 [Page 26] Internet-Draft SBSP July 2013 bundle, converting the received portion into a bundle fragment for further forwarding. Whether or not reactive fragmentation is permitted SHALL depend on the security policy and the ciphersuite used to calculate the BAB authentication information, if required. 4. Key Management Key management in delay-tolerant networks is recognized as a difficult topic and is one that this specification does not attempt to solve. 5. Security Considerations Certain applications of DTN need to both sign and encrypt a message, and there are security issues to consider with this. If the intent is to provide an assurance that a message did, in fact, come from a specific source and has not been changed, then it should be signed first and then encrypted. A signature on an encrypted message does not establish any relationship between the signer and the original plaintext message. On the other hand, if the intent is to reduce the threat of denial- of-service attacks, then signing the encrypted message is appropriate. A message that fails the signature check will not be processed through the computationally intensive decryption pass. A more extensive discussion of these points is in S/MIME 3.2 Message Specification [RFC5751], especially in Section 3.6. If a security-destination were to generate reports in the event that some security validation step fails, then that might leak information about the internal structure or policies of the DTN containing the security-destination. This is sometimes considered bad security practice, so it SHOULD only be done with care. 6. Conformance All implementations are strongly RECOMMENDED to provide at least a BAB ciphersuite. A relay node, for example, might not deal with end- to-end confidentiality and data integrity, but it SHOULD exclude unauthorized traffic and perform hop-by-hop bundle verification. 7. IANA Considerations This protocol has fields that have been registered by IANA. 7.1. Bundle Block Types Birrane Expires January 16, 2014 [Page 27] Internet-Draft SBSP July 2013 This specification allocates three codepoints from the existing "Bundle Block Types" registry defined in [RFC6255].
