        EAP Session-Id Derivation for EAP-SIM, EAP-AKA, and PEAP
                  draft-ietf-emu-eap-session-id-07.txt

Abstract

   RFC 5247 is updated to define and clarity EAP Session-Id derivation
   for multiple EAP methods.  The derivation of Session-Id was not given
   for EAP-SIM or EAP-AKA when using the fast reconnect exchange instead
   of full authentication.  The derivation of Session-Id for full
   authentication is clarified for both EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA.  The
   deriviation of Session-Id for PEAP is also given.  The definition for
   PEAP follows the definition for other TLS-based EAP methods.

INTERNET-DRAFT          EAP Session-Id Derivation       3 September 2020


1.  Introduction

   EAP [RFC3748] Session-Id derivation has not been defined for EAP-SIM
   and EAP-AKA when using the fast reconnect exchange instead of full
   authentication.  [RFC5247] defines the Session-Id for these EAP
   methods, but that derivation is only applicable for the full
   authentication case.  The Session-Id derivation was not defined for
   EAP-AKA', but [AKAP] now defines it, along with other updates.  As
   such, the definition for EAP-AKA' is not included here.

   Further, the deriviation of Session-Id for full authentication is
   clarified, as the text in [RFC5247] is ambiguousl

   The IEEE has defined Fast Initial Link Setup (FILS) authentication
   [FILS], which needs the EAP Session-Id in order for the EAP Re-
   authentication Protocol (ERP) [RFC6696] to work.  It is therefore
   important to address the existing deficiencies in the definition of
   EAP Session-Id.

   Finally, [RFC5247] did not define Session-Id for PEAP [MS-PEAP],
   [PEAP]. We correct these deficiencies here by updating [RFC5247] with
   the Session-Id derivation during fast-reconnect exchange for EAP-SIM
   and EAP-AKA; clarfying the Session-Id derivation during full
   authentication for EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA; and defining the Session-Id
   derivation for PEAP which is the same for both full authentication
   and fast reconnect.

1.1.  Requirements Language

   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 BCP
   14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
   capitals, as shown here.

2.  Updates to RFC 5247 Appendix A

   This section updates [RFC5247] Appendix A to define Session-Id for
   fast reconnect exchange for EAP-AKA and EAP-SIM.

2.1.  EAP-AKA

   For EAP-AKA, [RFC5247] Appendix A says:

   EAP-AKA

      EAP-AKA is defined in [RFC4187].  The EAP-AKA Session-Id is the
      concatenation of the EAP Type Code (0x17) with the contents of the
      RAND field from the AT_RAND attribute, followed by the contents of
      the AUTN field in the AT_AUTN attribute:

      Session-Id = 0x17 || RAND || AUTN

   It should say:

   EAP-AKA

      EAP-AKA is defined in [RFC4187].  When using full authentication,
      the EAP-AKA Session-Id is the concatenation of the EAP Type Code
      (0x17) with the contents of the RAND field from the AT_RAND
      attribute, followed by the contents of the AUTN field in the
      AT_AUTN attribute:

      Session-Id = 0x17 || RAND || AUTN

      When using fast reconnect, the EAP-AKA Session-Id is the
      concatenation of the EAP Type Code (0x17) with the contents of the
      NONCE_S field from the AT_NONCE_S attribute, followed by the
      contents of the MAC field from the AT_MAC attribute from EAP-
      Request/AKA-Reauthentication:

      Session-Id = 0x17 || NONCE_S || MAC

2.2.  EAP-SIM

   Similarly for EAP-SIM, [RFC5247] Appendix A says:

   EAP-SIM

      EAP-SIM is defined in [RFC4186].  The EAP-SIM Session-Id is the
      concatenation of the EAP Type Code (0x12) with the contents of the
      RAND field from the AT_RAND attribute, followed by the contents of
      the NONCE_MT field in the AT_NONCE_MT attribute:



DeKok, Alan                 Proposed Standard                   [Page 5]

INTERNET-DRAFT          EAP Session-Id Derivation       3 September 2020


      Session-Id = 0x12 || RAND || NONCE_MT

   It should say:


   EAP-SIM

      EAP-SIM is defined in [RFC4186].  When using full authentication,
      the EAP-SIM Session-Id is the concatenation of the EAP Type Code
      (0x12) with the contents of the RAND field from the AT_RAND
      attribute, followed by the contents of the NONCE_MT field in the
      AT_NONCE_MT attribute.  RFC 4186 says that EAP server should
      obtain "n" GSM triplets where "n=2" or "n=3".

      For "n=2", the Session-Id is therefore defined as

      Session-Id = 0x12 || RAND1 || RAND2 || NONCE_MT

      which is 49 octets in length.

      For "n=3", the Session-Id is therefore defined as

      Session-Id = 0x12 || RAND1 || RAND2 || RAND3 || NONCE_MT

      which is 65 octets in length.

      Where RAND1, RAND2 and RAND3 correspond to the RAND value from the
      first, second and third GSM triplet respectively.

      When using fast reconnect, the EAP-SIM Session-Id is the
      concatenation of the EAP Type Code (0x12) with the contents of the
      NONCE_S field from the AT_NONCE_S attribute, followed by the
      contents of the MAC field from the AT_MAC attribute from EAP-
      Request/SIM/Reauthentication:

      Session-Id = 0x12 || NONCE_S || MAC

      which is 33 octets in length.

2.3.  Rationale for EAP-AKA and EAP-SIM updates

   [RFC5247] was supposed to define exported parameters for existing EAP
   methods in Appendix A. The way Session-Id was defined for EAP-AKA and
   EAP-SIM works only for the full authentication case, i.e., it cannot
   be used when the optional fast reconnect case is used since the used
   parameters (RAND, AUTN, NONCE_MT) are not used in the fast reconnect
   case. Based on [RFC4187] Section 5.2, and similar text in [RFC4186]
   Section 5.2, NONCE_S corresponds to RAND and MAC in EAP-Request/AKA-



DeKok, Alan                 Proposed Standard                   [Page 6]

INTERNET-DRAFT          EAP Session-Id Derivation       3 September 2020


   Reauthentication and EAP-Request/SIM/Reauthentication corresponds to
   AUTN. That would seem to imply that the Session-Id could be defined
   using NONCE_S and MAC instead of RAND and AUTN/NONCE_MT.

   This deriviation is done via a random value created by the server,
   along with a secret key and the peer's identity.  We believe that
   this deriviation is secure, though no formal analysis has been done.

3.  Session-Id for PEAP

   [RFC5247] did not define Session-Id for Microsoft's Protected EAP
   (PEAP).  For consistency with the EAP-TLS definition given in
   [RFC5216] Section 2.3, we define it as:

      Session-Id = 0x19 || client.random || server.random

   This definition is that same for both full authentication, and for
   fast reconnect.

   This definition is already in wide-spread use in all known PEAP
   implementations.

   Note that this definition for Session-Id only applies when TLS 1.2 or
   earlier is used.  A different derivation is defined for TLS 1.3 in
   [TLS-EAP-TYPES].

4.  Security Considerations

   This specification defines EAP Session-Ids for ERP with EAP-SIM and
   EAP-AKA.  It therefore enables ERP key hierarchy establishment using
   fast reconnect with EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA.

   The Session-Id definitions given here are unique per session and
   unforgeable and unguessable by an outside party, as per the
   requirements of [RFC5247] Section 10.

    The definitions used here have been widely deployed for years, in
   all major EAP implementations.  However, we acknowledge that very
   little security analysis has been done for these definitions.  As a
   result, any security issues would result in serious issues for the
   Internet as a whole.

   These updates do not modify the Security Considerations outlined in
   RFC5247.

5.  IANA Considerations

   There are no actions for IANA.  RFC EDITOR: This section may be
   removed before publication.
