Introduction - - {{ An introduction to the differences between RFC 4306 [IKEV2] and - this document is given at the end of Section 1. It is put there - (instead of here) to preserve the section numbering of RFC 4306. }} - - IP Security (IPsec) provides confidentiality, data integrity, access - control, and data source authentication to IP datagrams. These - services are provided by maintaining shared state between the source - and the sink of an IP datagram. This state defines, among other - things, the specific services provided to the datagram, which - cryptographic algorithms will be used to provide the services, and - the keys used as input to the cryptographic algorithms. - - Establishing this shared state in a manual fashion does not scale - well. Therefore, a protocol to establish this state dynamically is - needed. This memo describes such a protocol -- the Internet Key - Exchange (IKE). Version 1 of IKE was defined in RFCs 2407 [DOI], - 2408 [ISAKMP], and 2409 [IKEV1]. IKEv2 was defined in [IKEV2] and - clarified in [Clarif]. This single document is intended to replace - all of those RFCs. - - IKE performs mutual authentication between two parties and - establishes an IKE security association (SA) that includes shared - secret information that can be used to efficiently establish SAs for - Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) [ESP] and/or Authentication - Header (AH) [AH] and a set of cryptographic algorithms to be used by - the SAs to protect the traffic that they carry. In this document, - the term "suite" or "cryptographic suite" refers to a complete set of - algorithms used to protect an SA. An initiator proposes one or more - suites by listing supported algorithms that can be combined into - suites in a mix-and-match fashion. IKE can also negotiate use of IP - Compression (IPComp) [IPCOMP] in connection with an ESP and/or AH SA. - We call the IKE SA an "IKE_SA". The SAs for ESP and/or AH that get - set up through that IKE_SA we call "CHILD_SAs". - - All IKE communications consist of pairs of messages: a request and a - response. The pair is called an "exchange". We call the first - messages establishing an IKE_SA IKE_SA_INIT and IKE_AUTH exchanges - and subsequent IKE exchanges CREATE_CHILD_SA or INFORMATIONAL - exchanges. In the common case, there is a single IKE_SA_INIT - exchange and a single IKE_AUTH exchange (a total of four messages) to - establish the IKE_SA and the first CHILD_SA. In exceptional cases, - there may be more than one of each of these exchanges. In all cases, - all IKE_SA_INIT exchanges MUST complete before any other exchange - type, then all IKE_AUTH exchanges MUST complete, and following that - any number of CREATE_CHILD_SA and INFORMATIONAL exchanges may occur - in any order. In some scenarios, only a single CHILD_SA is needed - - - -Kaufman, et al. Expires August 28, 2008 [Page 5] - -Internet-Draft IKEv2bis February 2008 - - - between the IPsec endpoints, and therefore there would be no - additional exchanges. Subsequent exchanges MAY be used to establish - additional CHILD_SAs between the same authenticated pair of endpoints - and to perform housekeeping functions. - - IKE message flow always consists of a request followed by a response. - It is the responsibility of the requester to ensure reliability. If - the response is not received within a timeout interval, the requester - needs to retransmit the request (or abandon the connection). - - The first request/response of an IKE session (IKE_SA_INIT) negotiates - security parameters for the IKE_SA, sends nonces, and sends Diffie- - Hellman values. - - The second request/response (IKE_AUTH) transmits identities, proves - knowledge of the secrets corresponding to the two identities, and - sets up an SA for the first (and often only) AH and/or ESP CHILD_SA. - - The types of subsequent exchanges are CREATE_CHILD_SA (which creates - a CHILD_SA) and INFORMATIONAL (which deletes an SA, reports error - conditions, or does other housekeeping). Every request requires a - response. An INFORMATIONAL request with no payloads (other than the - empty Encrypted payload required by the syntax) is commonly used as a - check for liveness. These subsequent exchanges cannot be used until - the initial exchanges have completed. - - In the description that follows, we assume that no errors occur. - Modifications to the flow should errors occur are described in - Section 2.21. - -1.1. Usage Scenarios - - IKE is expected to be used to negotiate ESP and/or AH SAs in a number - of different scenarios, each with its own special requirements. - -1.1.1. Security Gateway to Security Gateway Tunnel - - +-+-+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+-+-+ - | | IPsec | | - Protected |Tunnel | tunnel |Tunnel | Protected - Subnet <-->|Endpoint |<---------->|Endpoint |<--> Subnet - | | | | - +-+-+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+-+-+ - - Figure 1: Security Gateway to Security Gateway Tunnel - - In this scenario, neither endpoint of the IP connection implements - IPsec, but network nodes between them protect traffic for part of the - - - -Kaufman, et al. Expires August 28, 2008 [Page 6] - -Internet-Draft IKEv2bis February 2008 - - - way. Protection is transparent to the endpoints, and depends on - ordinary routing to send packets through the tunnel endpoints for - processing. Each endpoint would announce the set of addresses - "behind" it, and packets would be sent in tunnel mode where the inner - IP header would contain the IP addresses of the actual endpoints. - -1.1.2. Endpoint-to-Endpoint Transport - - +-+-+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+-+-+ - | | IPsec transport | | - |Protected| or tunnel mode SA |Protected| - |Endpoint |<---------------------------------------->|Endpoint | - | | | | - +-+-+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+-+-+ - - Figure 2: Endpoint to Endpoint - - In this scenario, both endpoints of the IP connection implement - IPsec, as required of hosts in [IPSECARCH]. Transport mode will - commonly be used with no inner IP header. If there is an inner IP - header, the inner addresses will be the same as the outer addresses. - A single pair of addresses will be negotiated for packets to be - protected by this SA. These endpoints MAY implement application - layer access controls based on the IPsec authenticated identities of - the participants. This scenario enables the end-to-end security that - has been a guiding principle for the Internet since [ARCHPRINC], - [TRANSPARENCY], and a method of limiting the inherent problems with - complexity in networks noted by [ARCHGUIDEPHIL]. Although this - scenario may not be fully applicable to the IPv4 Internet, it has - been deployed successfully in specific scenarios within intranets - using IKEv1. It should be more broadly enabled during the transition - to IPv6 and with the adoption of IKEv2. - - It is possible in this scenario that one or both of the protected - endpoints will be behind a network address translation (NAT) node, in - which case the tunneled packets will have to be UDP encapsulated so - that port numbers in the UDP headers can be used to identify - individual endpoints "behind" the NAT (see Section 2.23). - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Kaufman, et al. Expires August 28, 2008 [Page 7] - -Internet-Draft IKEv2bis February 2008 - - -1.1.3. Endpoint to Security Gateway Tunnel - - +-+-+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+-+-+ - | | IPsec | | Protected - |Protected| tunnel |Tunnel | Subnet - |Endpoint |<------------------------>|Endpoint |<--- and/or - | | | | Internet - +-+-+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+-+-+ - - Figure 3: Endpoint to Security Gateway Tunnel - - In this scenario, a protected endpoint (typically a portable roaming - computer) connects back to its corporate network through an IPsec- - protected tunnel. It might use this tunnel only to access - information on the corporate network, or it might tunnel all of its - traffic back through the corporate network in order to take advantage - of protection provided by a corporate firewall against Internet-based - attacks. In either case, the protected endpoint will want an IP - address associated with the security gateway so that packets returned - to it will go to the security gateway and be tunneled back. This IP - address may be static or may be dynamically allocated by the security - gateway. {{ Clarif-6.1 }} In support of the latter case, IKEv2 - includes a mechanism (namely, configuration payloads) for the - initiator to request an IP address owned by the security gateway for - use for the duration of its SA. - - In this scenario, packets will use tunnel mode. On each packet from - the protected endpoint, the outer IP header will contain the source - IP address associated with its current location (i.e., the address - that will get traffic routed to the endpoint directly), while the - inner IP header will contain the source IP address assigned by the - security gateway (i.e., the address that will get traffic routed to - the security gateway for forwarding to the endpoint). The outer - destination address will always be that of the security gateway, - while the inner destination address will be the ultimate destination - for the packet. - - In this scenario, it is possible that the protected endpoint will be - behind a NAT. In that case, the IP address as seen by the security - gateway will not be the same as the IP address sent by the protected - endpoint, and packets will have to be UDP encapsulated in order to be - routed properly. - -1.1.4. Other Scenarios - - Other scenarios are possible, as are nested combinations of the - above. One notable example combines aspects of 1.1.1 and 1.1.3. A - subnet may make all external accesses through a remote security - - - -Kaufman, et al. Expires August 28, 2008 [Page 8] - -Internet-Draft IKEv2bis February 2008 - - - gateway using an IPsec tunnel, where the addresses on the subnet are - routed to the security gateway by the rest of the Internet. An - example would be someone's home network being virtually on the - Internet with static IP addresses even though connectivity is - provided by an ISP that assigns a single dynamically assigned IP - address to the user's security gateway (where the static IP addresses - and an IPsec relay are provided by a third party located elsewhere). - -1.2. The Initial Exchanges - - Communication using IKE always begins with IKE_SA_INIT and IKE_AUTH - exchanges (known in IKEv1 as Phase 1). These initial exchanges - normally consist of four messages, though in some scenarios that - number can grow. All communications using IKE consist of request/ - response pairs. We'll describe the base exchange first, followed by - variations. The first pair of messages (IKE_SA_INIT) negotiate - cryptographic algorithms, exchange nonces, and do a Diffie-Hellman - exchange [DH]. - - The second pair of messages (IKE_AUTH) authenticate the previous - messages, exchange identities and certificates, and establish the - first CHILD_SA. Parts of these messages are encrypted and integrity - protected with keys established through the IKE_SA_INIT exchange, so - the identities are hidden from eavesdroppers and all fields in all - the messages are authenticated. - - In the following descriptions, the payloads contained in the message - are indicated by names as listed below. - - Notation Payload - ----------------------------------------- - AUTH Authentication - CERT Certificate - CERTREQ Certificate Request - CP Configuration - D Delete - E Encrypted - EAP Extensible Authentication - HDR IKE Header - IDi Identification - Initiator - IDr Identification - Responder - KE Key Exchange - Ni, Nr Nonce - N Notify - SA Security Association - TSi Traffic Selector - Initiator - TSr Traffic Selector - Responder - V Vendor ID - - - -Kaufman, et al. Expires August 28, 2008 [Page 9] - -Internet-Draft IKEv2bis February 2008 - - - The details of the contents of each payload are described in section - 3. Payloads that may optionally appear will be shown in brackets, - such as [CERTREQ], indicate that optionally a certificate request - payload can be included. - - The initial exchanges are as follows: - - Initiator Responder - ------------------------------------------------------------------- - HDR, SAi1, KEi, Ni --> - - HDR contains the Security Parameter Indexes (SPIs), version numbers, - and flags of various sorts. The SAi1 payload states the - cryptographic algorithms the initiator supports for the IKE_SA. The - KE payload sends the initiator's Diffie-Hellman value. Ni is the - initiator's nonce. - - <-- HDR, SAr1, KEr, Nr, [CERTREQ] - - The responder chooses a cryptographic suite from the initiator's - offered choices and expresses that choice in the SAr1 payload, - completes the Diffie-Hellman exchange with the KEr payload, and sends - its nonce in the Nr payload. - - At this point in the negotiation, each party can generate SKEYSEED, - from which all keys are derived for that IKE_SA. All but the headers - of all the messages that follow are encrypted and integrity - protected. The keys used for the encryption and integrity protection - are derived from SKEYSEED and are known as SK_e (encryption) and SK_a - (authentication, a.k.a. integrity protection). A separate SK_e and - SK_a is computed for each direction. In addition to the keys SK_e - and SK_a derived from the DH value for protection of the IKE_SA, - another quantity SK_d is derived and used for derivation of further - keying material for CHILD_SAs. The notation SK { ... } indicates - that these payloads are encrypted and integrity protected using that - direction's SK_e and SK_a. - - HDR, SK {IDi, [CERT,] [CERTREQ,] - [IDr,] AUTH, SAi2, - TSi, TSr} --> - - The initiator asserts its identity with the IDi payload, proves - knowledge of the secret corresponding to IDi and integrity protects - the contents of the first message using the AUTH payload (see - Section 2.15). It might also send its certificate(s) in CERT - payload(s) and a list of its trust anchors in CERTREQ payload(s). If - any CERT payloads are included, the first certificate provided MUST - contain the public key used to verify the AUTH field. The optional - - - -Kaufman, et al. Expires August 28, 2008 [Page 10] - -Internet-Draft IKEv2bis February 2008 - - - payload IDr enables the initiator to specify which of the responder's - identities it wants to talk to. This is useful when the machine on - which the responder is running is hosting multiple identities at the - same IP address. The initiator begins negotiation of a CHILD_SA - using the SAi2 payload. The final fields (starting with SAi2) are - described in the description of the CREATE_CHILD_SA exchange. - - <-- HDR, SK {IDr, [CERT,] AUTH, - SAr2, TSi, TSr} - - The responder asserts its identity with the IDr payload, optionally - sends one or more certificates (again with the certificate containing - the public key used to verify AUTH listed first), authenticates its - identity and protects the integrity of the second message with the - AUTH payload, and completes negotiation of a CHILD_SA with the - additional fields described below in the CREATE_CHILD_SA exchange. - - The recipients of messages 3 and 4 MUST verify that all signatures - and MACs are computed correctly and that the names in the ID payloads - correspond to the keys used to generate the AUTH payload. - - {{ Clarif-4.2}} If creating the CHILD_SA during the IKE_AUTH exchange - fails for some reason, the IKE_SA is still created as usual. The - list of responses in the IKE_AUTH exchange that do not prevent an - IKE_SA from being set up include at least the following: - NO_PROPOSAL_CHOSEN, TS_UNACCEPTABLE, SINGLE_PAIR_REQUIRED, - INTERNAL_ADDRESS_FAILURE, and FAILED_CP_REQUIRED. - - {{ Clarif-4.3 }} Note that IKE_AUTH messages do not contain KEi/KEr - or Ni/Nr payloads. Thus, the SA payloads in the IKE_AUTH exchange - cannot contain Transform Type 4 (Diffie-Hellman Group) with any value - other than NONE. Implementations SHOULD omit the whole transform - substructure instead of sending value NONE. - -1.3. The CREATE_CHILD_SA Exchange - - {{ This is a heavy rewrite of most of this section. The major - organization changes are described in Clarif-4.1 and Clarif-5.1. }} - - The CREATE_CHILD_SA exchange is used to create new CHILD_SAs and to - rekey both IKE_SAs and CHILD_SAs. This exchange consists of a single - request/response pair, and some of its function was referred to as a - phase 2 exchange in IKEv1. It MAY be initiated by either end of the - IKE_SA after the initial exchanges are completed. - - All messages following the initial exchange are cryptographically - protected using the cryptographic algorithms and keys negotiated in - the first two messages of the IKE exchange. These subsequent - - - -Kaufman, et al. Expires August 28, 2008 [Page 11] - -Internet-Draft IKEv2bis February 2008 - - - messages use the syntax of the Encrypted Payload described in - Section 3.14. All subsequent messages include an Encrypted Payload, - even if they are referred to in the text as "empty". For both - messages in the CREATE_CHILD_SA, the message following the header is - encrypted and the message including the header is integrity protected - using the cryptographic algorithms negotiated for the IKE_SA. - - The CREATE_CHILD_SA is also used for rekeying IKE_SAs and CHILD_SAs. - An SA is rekeyed by creating a new SA and then deleting the old one. - This section describes the first part of rekeying, the creation of - new SAs; Section 2.8 covers the mechanics of rekeying, including - moving traffic from old to new SAs and the deletion of the old SAs. - The two sections must be read together to understand the entire - process of rekeying. - - Either endpoint may initiate a CREATE_CHILD_SA exchange, so in this - section the term initiator refers to the endpoint initiating this - exchange. An implementation MAY refuse all CREATE_CHILD_SA requests - within an IKE_SA. - - The CREATE_CHILD_SA request MAY optionally contain a KE payload for - an additional Diffie-Hellman exchange to enable stronger guarantees - of forward secrecy for the CHILD_SA. The keying material for the - CHILD_SA is a function of SK_d established during the establishment - of the IKE_SA, the nonces exchanged during the CREATE_CHILD_SA - exchange, and the Diffie-Hellman value (if KE payloads are included - in the CREATE_CHILD_SA exchange). - - If a CREATE_CHILD_SA exchange includes a KEi payload, at least one of - the SA offers MUST include the Diffie-Hellman group of the KEi. The - Diffie-Hellman group of the KEi MUST be an element of the group the - initiator expects the responder to accept (additional Diffie-Hellman - groups can be proposed). If the responder selects a proposal using a - different Diffie-Hellman group (other than NONE), the responder MUST - reject the request and indicate its preferred Diffie-Hellman group in - the INVALID_KE_PAYLOAD Notification payload. {{ 3.10.1-17 }} There - are two octets of data associated with this notification: the - accepted D-H Group number in big endian order.

It requests that the CHILD_SA use transport - mode rather than tunnel mode for the SA created. If the request is - accepted, the response MUST also include a notification of type - USE_TRANSPORT_MODE. If the responder declines the request, the - CHILD_SA will be established in tunnel mode. If this is unacceptable - to the initiator, the initiator MUST delete the SA. Note: Except - when using this option to negotiate transport mode, all CHILD_SAs - will use tunnel mode. - - {{ 3.10.1-16394 }} The ESP_TFC_PADDING_NOT_SUPPORTED notification - asserts that the sending endpoint will NOT accept packets that - contain Traffic Flow Confidentiality (TFC) padding over the CHILD_SA - being negotiated. {{ Clarif-4.5 }} If neither endpoint accepts TFC - padding, this notification is included in both the request and the - response. If this notification is included in only one of the - messages, TFC padding can still be sent in the other direction. - - - - -Kaufman, et al.

Rekeying IKE_SAs with the CREATE_CHILD_SA Exchange - - The CREATE_CHILD_SA request for rekeying an IKE_SA is: - - Initiator Responder - ------------------------------------------------------------------- - HDR, SK {SA, Ni, [KEi]} --> - - The initiator sends SA offer(s) in the SA payload, a nonce in the Ni - payload, and a Diffie-Hellman value in the KEi payload.

The INFORMATIONAL Exchange - - At various points during the operation of an IKE_SA, peers may desire - to convey control messages to each other regarding errors or - notifications of certain events. To accomplish this, IKE defines an - INFORMATIONAL exchange. INFORMATIONAL exchanges MUST ONLY occur - after the initial exchanges and are cryptographically protected with - the negotiated keys. - - Control messages that pertain to an IKE_SA MUST be sent under that - IKE_SA. Control messages that pertain to CHILD_SAs MUST be sent - under the protection of the IKE_SA which generated them (or its - successor if the IKE_SA was replaced for the purpose of rekeying). - - Messages in an INFORMATIONAL exchange contain zero or more - Notification, Delete, and Configuration payloads. The Recipient of - an INFORMATIONAL exchange request MUST send some response (else the - Sender will assume the message was lost in the network and will - retransmit it). That response MAY be a message with no payloads. - The request message in an INFORMATIONAL exchange MAY also contain no - payloads. This is the expected way an endpoint can ask the other - endpoint to verify that it is alive. - - {{ Clarif-5.6 }} ESP and AH SAs always exist in pairs, with one SA in - each direction. When an SA is closed, both members of the pair MUST - be closed (that is, deleted). Each endpoint MUST close its incoming - SAs and allow the other endpoint to close the other SA in each pair. - - - -Kaufman, et al. Expires August 28, 2008 [Page 15] - -Internet-Draft IKEv2bis February 2008 - - - To delete an SA, an INFORMATIONAL exchange with one or more delete - payloads is sent listing the SPIs (as they would be expected in the - headers of inbound packets) of the SAs to be deleted.

There is - one exception. If by chance both ends of a set of SAs independently - decide to close them, each may send a delete payload and the two - requests may cross in the network. If a node receives a delete - request for SAs for which it has already issued a delete request, it - MUST delete the outgoing SAs while processing the request and the - incoming SAs while processing the response. In that case, the - responses MUST NOT include delete payloads for the deleted SAs, since - that would result in duplicate deletion and could in theory delete - the wrong SA. - - {{ Demoted the SHOULD }} Half-closed ESP or AH connections are - anomalous, and a node with auditing capability should probably audit - their existence if they persist. Note that this specification - nowhere specifies time periods, so it is up to individual endpoints - to decide how long to wait. A node MAY refuse to accept incoming - data on half-closed connections but MUST NOT unilaterally close them - and reuse the SPIs.

Informational Messages outside of an IKE_SA - - If an encrypted IKE request packet arrives on port 500 or 4500 with - an unrecognized SPI, it could be because the receiving node has - recently crashed and lost state or because of some other system - malfunction or attack. If the receiving node has an active IKE_SA to - the IP address from whence the packet came, it MAY send a - notification of the wayward packet over that IKE_SA in an - INFORMATIONAL exchange. If it does not have such an IKE_SA, it MAY - send an Informational message without cryptographic protection to the - source IP address. Such a message is not part of an informational - exchange, and the receiving node MUST NOT respond to it. Doing so - could cause a message loop. - - {{ 3.10.1-11 }} The INVALID_SPI notification MAY be sent in an IKE - INFORMATIONAL exchange when a node receives an ESP or AH packet with - an invalid SPI. The Notification Data contains the SPI of the - invalid packet. This usually indicates a node has rebooted and - forgotten an SA. If this Informational Message is sent outside the - context of an IKE_SA, it should only be used by the recipient as a - "hint" that something might be wrong (because it could easily be - forged). - - {{ Clarif-7.7 }} There are two cases when such a one-way notification - is sent: INVALID_IKE_SPI and INVALID_SPI. These notifications are - sent outside of an IKE_SA. Note that such notifications are - explicitly not Informational exchanges; these are one-way messages - that must not be responded to. In case of INVALID_IKE_SPI, the - message sent is a response message, and thus it is sent to the IP - address and port from whence it came with the same IKE SPIs and the - Message ID copied. In case of INVALID_SPI, however, there are no IKE - SPI values that would be meaningful to the recipient of such a - notification. Using zero values or random values are both - acceptable. - -1.6.

Differences Between RFC 4306 and This Document - - {{ Added this entire section, including this recursive remark. }} - - This document contains clarifications and amplifications to IKEv2 - [IKEV2]. The clarifications are mostly based on [Clarif]. The - changes listed in that document were discussed in the IPsec Working - Group and, after the Working Group was disbanded, on the IPsec - mailing list. That document contains detailed explanations of areas - that were unclear in IKEv2, and is thus useful to implementers of - IKEv2. - - The protocol described in this document retains the same major - version number (2) and minor version number (0) as was used in RFC - 4306. - - This document makes the figures and references a bit more regular - than in [IKEV2]. - - IKEv2 developers have noted that the SHOULD-level requirements are - often unclear in that they don't say when it is OK to not obey the - requirements. They also have noted that there are MUST-level - requirements that are not related to interoperability. This document - has more explanation of some of these requirements. All non- - capitalized uses of the words SHOULD and MUST now mean their normal - English sense, not the interoperability sense of [MUSTSHOULD]. - - IKEv2 (and IKEv1) developers have noted that there is a great deal of - material in the tables of codes in Section 3.10.1. This leads to - implementers not having all the needed information in the main body - of the docment. Much of the material from those tables has been - moved into the associated parts of the main body of the document. - - In the body of this document, notes that are enclosed in double curly - braces {{ such as this }} point out changes from IKEv2. Changes that - come from [Clarif] are marked with the section from that document, - such as "{{ Clarif-2.10 }}". Changes that come from moving - descriptive text out of the tables in Section 3.10.1 are marked with - that number and the message type that contained the text, such as "{{ - 3.10.1-16384 }}". - - This document removes discussion of nesting AH and ESP. This was a - mistake in RFC 4306 caused by the lag between finishing RFC 4306 and - RFC 4301. Basically, IKEv2 is based on RFC 4301, which does not - include "SA bundles" that were part of RFC 2401. While a single - packet can go through IPsec processing multiple times, each of these - passes uses a separate SA, and the passes are coordinated by the - forwarding tables.

IKE Protocol Details and Variations - - IKE normally listens and sends on UDP port 500, though IKE messages - may also be received on UDP port 4500 with a slightly different - format (see Section 2.23). Since UDP is a datagram (unreliable) - protocol, IKE includes in its definition recovery from transmission - errors, including packet loss, packet replay, and packet forgery. - IKE is designed to function so long as (1) at least one of a series - of retransmitted packets reaches its destination before timing out; - and (2) the channel is not so full of forged and replayed packets so - as to exhaust the network or CPU capacities of either endpoint. Even - in the absence of those minimum performance requirements, IKE is - designed to fail cleanly (as though the network were broken). - - Although IKEv2 messages are intended to be short, they contain - structures with no hard upper bound on size (in particular, X.509 - certificates), and IKEv2 itself does not have a mechanism for - fragmenting large messages. IP defines a mechanism for fragmentation - of oversize UDP messages, but implementations vary in the maximum - message size supported. Furthermore, use of IP fragmentation opens - an implementation to denial of service attacks [DOSUDPPROT]. - Finally, some NAT and/or firewall implementations may block IP - fragments. - - All IKEv2 implementations MUST be able to send, receive, and process - IKE messages that are up to 1280 octets long, and they SHOULD be able - to send, receive, and process messages that are up to 3000 octets - long. {{ Demoted the SHOULD }} IKEv2 implementations need to be aware - of the maximum UDP message size supported and MAY shorten messages by - leaving out some certificates or cryptographic suite proposals if - - - -Kaufman, et al. Expires August 28, 2008 [Page 19] - -Internet-Draft IKEv2bis February 2008 - - - that will keep messages below the maximum. Use of the "Hash and URL" - formats rather than including certificates in exchanges where - possible can avoid most problems. {{ Demoted the SHOULD }} - Implementations and configuration need to keep in mind, however, that - if the URL lookups are possible only after the IPsec SA is - established, recursion issues could prevent this technique from - working. - - {{ Clarif-7.5 }} The UDP payload of all packets containing IKE - messages sent on port 4500 MUST begin with the prefix of four zeros; - otherwise, the receiver won't know how to handle them. - -2.1. Use of Retransmission Timers - - All messages in IKE exist in pairs: a request and a response. The - setup of an IKE_SA normally consists of two request/response pairs. - Once the IKE_SA is set up, either end of the security association may - initiate requests at any time, and there can be many requests and - responses "in flight" at any given moment. But each message is - labeled as either a request or a response, and for each request/ - response pair one end of the security association is the initiator - and the other is the responder. - - For every pair of IKE messages, the initiator is responsible for - retransmission in the event of a timeout. The responder MUST never - retransmit a response unless it receives a retransmission of the - request. In that event, the responder MUST ignore the retransmitted - request except insofar as it triggers a retransmission of the - response. The initiator MUST remember each request until it receives - the corresponding response. The responder MUST remember each - response until it receives a request whose sequence number is larger - than or equal to the sequence number in the response plus its window - size (see Section 2.3). - - IKE is a reliable protocol, in the sense that the initiator MUST - retransmit a request until either it receives a corresponding reply - OR it deems the IKE security association to have failed and it - discards all state associated with the IKE_SA and any CHILD_SAs - negotiated using that IKE_SA. - - {{ Clarif-2.3 }} Retransmissions of the IKE_SA_INIT request require - some special handling. When a responder receives an IKE_SA_INIT - request, it has to determine whether the packet is retransmission - belonging to an existing "half-open" IKE_SA (in which case the - responder retransmits the same response), or a new request (in which - case the responder creates a new IKE_SA and sends a fresh response), - or it belongs to an existing IKE_SA where the IKE_AUTH request has - been already received (in which case the responder ignores it). - - - -Kaufman, et al. Expires August 28, 2008 [Page 20] - -Internet-Draft IKEv2bis February 2008 - - - It is not sufficient to use the initiator's SPI and/or IP address to - differentiate between these three cases because two different peers - behind a single NAT could choose the same initiator SPI. Instead, a - robust responder will do the IKE_SA lookup using the whole packet, - its hash, or the Ni payload. - -2.2. Use of Sequence Numbers for Message ID - - Every IKE message contains a Message ID as part of its fixed header. - This Message ID is used to match up requests and responses, and to - identify retransmissions of messages. - - The Message ID is a 32-bit quantity, which is zero for the - IKE_SA_INIT messages (including retries of the message due to - responses such as COOKIE and INVALID_KE_PAYLOAD {{ Clarif-2.2 }}), - and incremented for each subsequent exchange. Thus, the first pair - of IKE_AUTH messages will have ID of 1, the second (when EAP is used) - will be 2, and so on. {{ Clarif-3.10 }} - - Each endpoint in the IKE Security Association maintains two "current" - Message IDs: the next one to be used for a request it initiates and - the next one it expects to see in a request from the other end. - These counters increment as requests are generated and received. - Responses always contain the same message ID as the corresponding - request. That means that after the initial exchange, each integer n - may appear as the message ID in four distinct messages: the nth - request from the original IKE initiator, the corresponding response, - the nth request from the original IKE responder, and the - corresponding response. If the two ends make very different numbers - of requests, the Message IDs in the two directions can be very - different. There is no ambiguity in the messages, however, because - the (I)nitiator and (R)esponse bits in the message header specify - which of the four messages a particular one is. - - Note that Message IDs are cryptographically protected and provide - protection against message replays. In the unlikely event that - Message IDs grow too large to fit in 32 bits, the IKE_SA MUST be - closed. Rekeying an IKE_SA resets the sequence numbers. - -2.3. Window Size for Overlapping Requests - - In order to maximize IKE throughput, an IKE endpoint MAY issue - multiple requests before getting a response to any of them if the - other endpoint has indicated its ability to handle such requests. - For simplicity, an IKE implementation MAY choose to process requests - strictly in order and/or wait for a response to one request before - issuing another. Certain rules must be followed to ensure - interoperability between implementations using different strategies. - - - -Kaufman, et al. Expires August 28, 2008 [Page 21] - -Internet-Draft IKEv2bis February 2008 - - - After an IKE_SA is set up, either end can initiate one or more - requests. These requests may pass one another over the network. An - IKE endpoint MUST be prepared to accept and process a request while - it has a request outstanding in order to avoid a deadlock in this - situation. {{ Downgraded the SHOULD }} An IKE endpoint may also - accept and process multiple requests while it has a request - outstanding. - - {{ 3.10.1-16385 }} The SET_WINDOW_SIZE notification asserts that the - sending endpoint is capable of keeping state for multiple outstanding - exchanges, permitting the recipient to send multiple requests before - getting a response to the first. The data associated with a - SET_WINDOW_SIZE notification MUST be 4 octets long and contain the - big endian representation of the number of messages the sender - promises to keep. The window size is always one until the initial - exchanges complete. - - An IKE endpoint MUST wait for a response to each of its messages - before sending a subsequent message unless it has received a - SET_WINDOW_SIZE Notify message from its peer informing it that the - peer is prepared to maintain state for multiple outstanding messages - in order to allow greater throughput. - - An IKE endpoint MUST NOT exceed the peer's stated window size for - transmitted IKE requests. In other words, if the responder stated - its window size is N, then when the initiator needs to make a request - X, it MUST wait until it has received responses to all requests up - through request X-N. An IKE endpoint MUST keep a copy of (or be able - to regenerate exactly) each request it has sent until it receives the - corresponding response. An IKE endpoint MUST keep a copy of (or be - able to regenerate exactly) the number of previous responses equal to - its declared window size in case its response was lost and the - initiator requests its retransmission by retransmitting the request. - - An IKE endpoint supporting a window size greater than one ought to be - capable of processing incoming requests out of order to maximize - performance in the event of network failures or packet reordering. - - {{ Clarif-7.3 }} The window size is normally a (possibly - configurable) property of a particular implementation, and is not - related to congestion control (unlike the window size in TCP, for - example). In particular, it is not defined what the responder should - do when it receives a SET_WINDOW_SIZE notification containing a - smaller value than is currently in effect. Thus, there is currently - no way to reduce the window size of an existing IKE_SA; you can only - increase it. When rekeying an IKE_SA, the new IKE_SA starts with - window size 1 until it is explicitly increased by sending a new - SET_WINDOW_SIZE notification. - - - -Kaufman, et al.

State Synchronization and Connection Timeouts - - An IKE endpoint is allowed to forget all of its state associated with - an IKE_SA and the collection of corresponding CHILD_SAs at any time. - This is the anticipated behavior in the event of an endpoint crash - and restart.

If a cryptographically protected - - - -Kaufman, et al.

If there has only been outgoing traffic on all of - the SAs associated with an IKE_SA, it is essential to confirm - liveness of the other endpoint to avoid black holes.

The minor - version number indicates new capabilities, and MUST be ignored by a - node with a smaller minor version number, but used for informational - purposes by the node with the larger minor version number. For - example, it might indicate the ability to process a newly defined - notification message. The node with the larger minor version number - would simply note that its correspondent would not be able to - understand that message and therefore would not send it. - - {{ 3.10.1-5 }} If an endpoint receives a message with a higher major - version number, it MUST drop the message and SHOULD send an - unauthenticated notification message of type INVALID_MAJOR_VERSION - containing the highest (closest) version number it supports. If an - endpoint supports major version n, and major version m, it MUST - support all versions between n and m. If it receives a message with - a major version that it supports, it MUST respond with that version - number. In order to prevent two nodes from being tricked into - corresponding with a lower major version number than the maximum that - they both support, IKE has a flag that indicates that the node is - capable of speaking a higher major version number. - - Thus, the major version number in the IKE header indicates the - version number of the message, not the highest version number that - the transmitter supports. If the initiator is capable of speaking - versions n, n+1, and n+2, and the responder is capable of speaking - versions n and n+1, then they will negotiate speaking n+1, where the - initiator will set a flag indicating its ability to speak a higher - version. If they mistakenly (perhaps through an active attacker - sending error messages) negotiate to version n, then both will notice - that the other side can support a higher version number, and they - MUST break the connection and reconnect using version n+1. - - - -Kaufman, et al.

TS payloads specify - the selection criteria for packets that will be forwarded over the - newly set up SA. This can serve as a consistency check in some - scenarios to assure that the SPDs are consistent. In others, it - guides the dynamic update of the SPD. - - Two TS payloads appear in each of the messages in the exchange that - creates a CHILD_SA pair. Each TS payload contains one or more - Traffic Selectors. Each Traffic Selector consists of an address - range (IPv4 or IPv6), a port range, and an IP protocol ID. - - The first of the two TS payloads is known as TSi (Traffic Selector- - initiator). The second is known as TSr (Traffic Selector-responder). - TSi specifies the source address of traffic forwarded from (or the - destination address of traffic forwarded to) the initiator of the - CHILD_SA pair. TSr specifies the destination address of the traffic - forwarded to (or the source address of the traffic forwarded from) - the responder of the CHILD_SA pair. For example, if the original - initiator requests the creation of a CHILD_SA pair, and wishes to - tunnel all traffic from subnet 192.0.1.* on the initiator's side to - subnet 192.0.2.* on the responder's side, the initiator would include - a single traffic selector in each TS payload.

Traffic Selectors Violating Own Policy - - {{ Clarif-4.12 }} - - When creating a new SA, the initiator needs to avoid proposing - traffic selectors that violate its own policy. If this rule is not - followed, valid traffic may be dropped. - - This is best illustrated by an example. Suppose that host A has a - policy whose effect is that traffic to 192.0.1.66 is sent via host B - encrypted using AES, and traffic to all other hosts in 192.0.1.0/24 - is also sent via B, but must use 3DES. Suppose also that host B - - - -Kaufman, et al.

Even if host A creates a new SA only for - 192.0.1.66 that uses AES, host B may freely continue to use the first - SA for the traffic. In this situation, when proposing the SA, host A - should have followed its own policy, and included a TSr containing - ((192.0.1.0-192.0.1.65),(192.0.1.67-192.0.1.255)) instead. - - In general, if (1) the initiator makes a proposal "for traffic X - (TSi/TSr), do SA", and (2) for some subset X' of X, the initiator - does not actually accept traffic X' with SA, and (3) the initiator - would be willing to accept traffic X' with some SA' (!=SA), valid - traffic can be unnecessarily dropped since the responder can apply - either SA or SA' to traffic X'. - -2.10. Nonces - - The IKE_SA_INIT messages each contain a nonce. These nonces are used - as inputs to cryptographic functions. The CREATE_CHILD_SA request - and the CREATE_CHILD_SA response also contain nonces. These nonces - are used to add freshness to the key derivation technique used to - obtain keys for CHILD_SA, and to ensure creation of strong pseudo- - random bits from the Diffie-Hellman key. Nonces used in IKEv2 MUST - be randomly chosen, MUST be at least 128 bits in size, and MUST be at - least half the key size of the negotiated prf. ("prf" refers to - "pseudo-random function", one of the cryptographic algorithms - negotiated in the IKE exchange.) {{ Clarif-7.4 }} However, the - initiator chooses the nonce before the outcome of the negotiation is - known. Because of that, the nonce has to be long enough for all the - PRFs being proposed. If the same random number source is used for - both keys and nonces, care must be taken to ensure that the latter - use does not compromise the former. - -2.11. Address and Port Agility - - IKE runs over UDP ports 500 and 4500, and implicitly sets up ESP and - AH associations for the same IP addresses it runs over. The IP - addresses and ports in the outer header are, however, not themselves - cryptographically protected, and IKE is designed to work even through - Network Address Translation (NAT) boxes. An implementation MUST - accept incoming requests even if the source port is not 500 or 4500, - and MUST respond to the address and port from which the request was - received. It MUST specify the address and port at which the request - was received as the source address and port in the response. IKE - - - -Kaufman, et al.

Reuse of Diffie-Hellman Exponentials - - IKE generates keying material using an ephemeral Diffie-Hellman - exchange in order to gain the property of "perfect forward secrecy". - This means that once a connection is closed and its corresponding - keys are forgotten, even someone who has recorded all of the data - from the connection and gets access to all of the long-term keys of - the two endpoints cannot reconstruct the keys used to protect the - conversation without doing a brute force search of the session key - space. - - Achieving perfect forward secrecy requires that when a connection is - closed, each endpoint MUST forget not only the keys used by the - connection but also any information that could be used to recompute - those keys. In particular, it MUST forget the secrets used in the - Diffie-Hellman calculation and any state that may persist in the - state of a pseudo-random number generator that could be used to - recompute the Diffie-Hellman secrets. - - Since the computing of Diffie-Hellman exponentials is computationally - expensive, an endpoint may find it advantageous to reuse those - exponentials for multiple connection setups. There are several - reasonable strategies for doing this. An endpoint could choose a new - exponential only periodically though this could result in less-than- - perfect forward secrecy if some connection lasts for less than the - lifetime of the exponential. Or it could keep track of which - exponential was used for each connection and delete the information - associated with the exponential only when some corresponding - connection was closed. This would allow the exponential to be reused - without losing perfect forward secrecy at the cost of maintaining - more state. - - Decisions as to whether and when to reuse Diffie-Hellman exponentials - is a private decision in the sense that it will not affect - interoperability. An implementation that reuses exponentials MAY - choose to remember the exponential used by the other endpoint on past - exchanges and if one is reused to avoid the second half of the - calculation. - -2.13. Generating Keying Material - - In the context of the IKE_SA, four cryptographic algorithms are - negotiated: an encryption algorithm, an integrity protection - algorithm, a Diffie-Hellman group, and a pseudo-random function - (prf). The pseudo-random function is used for the construction of - keying material for all of the cryptographic algorithms used in both - - - -Kaufman, et al. Expires August 28, 2008 [Page 40] - -Internet-Draft IKEv2bis February 2008 - - - the IKE_SA and the CHILD_SAs. - - We assume that each encryption algorithm and integrity protection - algorithm uses a fixed-size key and that any randomly chosen value of - that fixed size can serve as an appropriate key. For algorithms that - accept a variable length key, a fixed key size MUST be specified as - part of the cryptographic transform negotiated (see Section 3.3.5 for - the defintion of the Key Length transform attribute). For algorithms - for which not all values are valid keys (such as DES or 3DES with key - parity), the algorithm by which keys are derived from arbitrary - values MUST be specified by the cryptographic transform. For - integrity protection functions based on Hashed Message Authentication - Code (HMAC), the fixed key size is the size of the output of the - underlying hash function. - - It is assumed that pseudo-random functions (PRFs) accept keys of any - length, but have a preferred key size. The preferred key size is - used as the length of SK_d, SK_pi, and SK_pr (see Section 2.14). For - PRFs based on the HMAC construction, the preferred key size is equal - to the length of the output of the underlying hash function. Other - types of PRFs MUST specify their preferred key size. - - Keying material will always be derived as the output of the - negotiated prf algorithm. Since the amount of keying material needed - may be greater than the size of the output of the prf algorithm, we - will use the prf iteratively. We will use the terminology prf+ to - describe the function that outputs a pseudo-random stream based on - the inputs to a prf as follows: (where | indicates concatenation) - - prf+ (K,S) = T1 | T2 | T3 | T4 | ... - - where: - T1 = prf (K, S | 0x01) - T2 = prf (K, T1 | S | 0x02) - T3 = prf (K, T2 | S | 0x03) - T4 = prf (K, T3 | S | 0x04) - - continuing as needed to compute all required keys. The keys are - taken from the output string without regard to boundaries (e.g., if - the required keys are a 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) - key and a 160-bit HMAC key, and the prf function generates 160 bits, - the AES key will come from T1 and the beginning of T2, while the HMAC - key will come from the rest of T2 and the beginning of T3). - - The constant concatenated to the end of each string feeding the prf - is a single octet. prf+ in this document is not defined beyond 255 - times the size of the prf output. - - - - -Kaufman, et al.

A quantity called SKEYSEED - is calculated from the nonces exchanged during the IKE_SA_INIT - exchange and the Diffie-Hellman shared secret established during that - exchange. SKEYSEED is used to calculate seven other secrets: SK_d - used for deriving new keys for the CHILD_SAs established with this - IKE_SA; SK_ai and SK_ar used as a key to the integrity protection - algorithm for authenticating the component messages of subsequent - exchanges; SK_ei and SK_er used for encrypting (and of course - decrypting) all subsequent exchanges; and SK_pi and SK_pr, which are - used when generating an AUTH payload. The lengths of SK_d, SK_pi, - and SK_pr are the preferred key length of the agreed-to PRF. - - SKEYSEED and its derivatives are computed as follows: - - SKEYSEED = prf(Ni | Nr, g^ir) - - {SK_d | SK_ai | SK_ar | SK_ei | SK_er | SK_pi | SK_pr } - = prf+ (SKEYSEED, Ni | Nr | SPIi | SPIr ) - - (indicating that the quantities SK_d, SK_ai, SK_ar, SK_ei, SK_er, - SK_pi, and SK_pr are taken in order from the generated bits of the - prf+). g^ir is the shared secret from the ephemeral Diffie-Hellman - exchange. g^ir is represented as a string of octets in big endian - order padded with zeros if necessary to make it the length of the - modulus. Ni and Nr are the nonces, stripped of any headers. For - historical backwards-compatibility reasons, there are two PRFs that - are treated specially in this calculation. If the negotiated PRF is - AES-XCBC-PRF-128 [RFC4434] or AES-CMAC-PRF-128 [RFC4615], only the - first 64 bits of Ni and the first 64 bits of Nr are used in the - calculation. - - The two directions of traffic flow use different keys. The keys used - to protect messages from the original initiator are SK_ai and SK_ei. - The keys used to protect messages in the other direction are SK_ar - and SK_er. - -2.15. Authentication of the IKE_SA - - When not using extensible authentication (see Section 2.16), the - peers are authenticated by having each sign (or MAC using a shared - secret as the key) a block of data. For the responder, the octets to - be signed start with the first octet of the first SPI in the header - of the second message (IKE_SA_INIT response) and end with the last - octet of the last payload in the second message. Appended to this - (for purposes of computing the signature) are the initiator's nonce - Ni (just the value, not the payload containing it), and the value - - - -Kaufman, et al. Expires August 28, 2008 [Page 42] - -Internet-Draft IKEv2bis February 2008 - - - prf(SK_pr,IDr') where IDr' is the responder's ID payload excluding - the fixed header. Note that neither the nonce Ni nor the value - prf(SK_pr,IDr') are transmitted. Similarly, the initiator signs the - first message (IKE_SA_INIT request), starting with the first octet of - the first SPI in the header and ending with the last octet of the - last payload. Appended to this (for purposes of computing the - signature) are the responder's nonce Nr, and the value - prf(SK_pi,IDi'). In the above calculation, IDi' and IDr' are the - entire ID payloads excluding the fixed header. It is critical to the - security of the exchange that each side sign the other side's nonce. - - {{ Clarif-3.1 }} - - The initiator's signed octets can be described as: - - InitiatorSignedOctets = RealMessage1 | NonceRData | MACedIDForI - GenIKEHDR = [ four octets 0 if using port 4500 ] | RealIKEHDR - RealIKEHDR = SPIi | SPIr | . . . | Length - RealMessage1 = RealIKEHDR | RestOfMessage1 - NonceRPayload = PayloadHeader | NonceRData - InitiatorIDPayload = PayloadHeader | RestOfIDPayload - RestOfInitIDPayload = IDType | RESERVED | InitIDData - MACedIDForI = prf(SK_pi, RestOfInitIDPayload) - - The responder's signed octets can be described as: - - ResponderSignedOctets = RealMessage2 | NonceIData | MACedIDForR - GenIKEHDR = [ four octets 0 if using port 4500 ] | RealIKEHDR - RealIKEHDR = SPIi | SPIr | . . . | Length - RealMessage2 = RealIKEHDR | RestOfMessage2 - NonceIPayload = PayloadHeader | NonceIData - ResponderIDPayload = PayloadHeader | RestOfIDPayload - RestOfRespIDPayload = IDType | RESERVED | InitIDData - MACedIDForR = prf(SK_pr, RestOfRespIDPayload) - - Note that all of the payloads are included under the signature, - including any payload types not defined in this document.

In particular, the initiator may be using a - shared key while the responder may have a public signature key and - certificate. It will commonly be the case (but it is not required) - that if a shared secret is used for authentication that the same key - is used in both directions. - - Note that it is a common but typically insecure practice to have a - shared key derived solely from a user-chosen password without - incorporating another source of randomness. This is typically - insecure because user-chosen passwords are unlikely to have - sufficient unpredictability to resist dictionary attacks and these - attacks are not prevented in this authentication method. - (Applications using password-based authentication for bootstrapping - and IKE_SA should use the authentication method in Section 2.16, - which is designed to prevent off-line dictionary attacks.) {{ Demoted - the SHOULD }} The pre-shared key needs to contain as much - unpredictability as the strongest key being negotiated. In the case - of a pre-shared key, the AUTH value is computed as: - - AUTH = prf(prf(Shared Secret,"Key Pad for IKEv2"), ) - - where the string "Key Pad for IKEv2" is 17 ASCII characters without - null termination. The shared secret can be variable length. The pad - string is added so that if the shared secret is derived from a - password, the IKE implementation need not store the password in - cleartext, but rather can store the value prf(Shared Secret,"Key Pad - for IKEv2"), which could not be used as a password equivalent for - protocols other than IKEv2. As noted above, deriving the shared - secret from a password is not secure. This construction is used - because it is anticipated that people will do it anyway. The - management interface by which the Shared Secret is provided MUST - accept ASCII strings of at least 64 octets and MUST NOT add a null - terminator before using them as shared secrets. It MUST also accept - a hex encoding of the Shared Secret.

Extensible Authentication Protocol Methods - - In addition to authentication using public key signatures and shared - secrets, IKE supports authentication using methods defined in RFC - 3748 [EAP].

Expires August 28, 2008 [Page 53] - -Internet-Draft IKEv2bis February 2008 - - -2.23. NAT Traversal - - Network Address Translation (NAT) gateways are a controversial - subject. This section briefly describes what they are and how they - are likely to act on IKE traffic. Many people believe that NATs are - evil and that we should not design our protocols so as to make them - work better. IKEv2 does specify some unintuitive processing rules in - order that NATs are more likely to work. - - NATs exist primarily because of the shortage of IPv4 addresses, - though there are other rationales. IP nodes that are "behind" a NAT - have IP addresses that are not globally unique, but rather are - assigned from some space that is unique within the network behind the - NAT but that are likely to be reused by nodes behind other NATs. - Generally, nodes behind NATs can communicate with other nodes behind - the same NAT and with nodes with globally unique addresses, but not - with nodes behind other NATs. There are exceptions to that rule. - When those nodes make connections to nodes on the real Internet, the - NAT gateway "translates" the IP source address to an address that - will be routed back to the gateway. Messages to the gateway from the - Internet have their destination addresses "translated" to the - internal address that will route the packet to the correct endnode. - - NATs are designed to be "transparent" to endnodes. Neither software - on the node behind the NAT nor the node on the Internet requires - modification to communicate through the NAT. Achieving this - transparency is more difficult with some protocols than with others. - Protocols that include IP addresses of the endpoints within the - payloads of the packet will fail unless the NAT gateway understands - the protocol and modifies the internal references as well as those in - the headers. Such knowledge is inherently unreliable, is a network - layer violation, and often results in subtle problems. - - Opening an IPsec connection through a NAT introduces special - problems. If the connection runs in transport mode, changing the IP - addresses on packets will cause the checksums to fail and the NAT - cannot correct the checksums because they are cryptographically - protected. Even in tunnel mode, there are routing problems because - transparently translating the addresses of AH and ESP packets - requires special logic in the NAT and that logic is heuristic and - unreliable in nature. For that reason, IKEv2 can negotiate UDP - encapsulation of IKE and ESP packets. This encoding is slightly less - efficient but is easier for NATs to process. In addition, firewalls - may be configured to pass IPsec traffic over UDP but not ESP/AH or - vice versa. - - It is a common practice of NATs to translate TCP and UDP port numbers - as well as addresses and use the port numbers of inbound packets to - - - -Kaufman, et al. Expires August 28, 2008 [Page 54] - -Internet-Draft IKEv2bis February 2008 - - - decide which internal node should get a given packet. For this - reason, even though IKE packets MUST be sent from and to UDP port - 500, they MUST be accepted coming from any port and responses MUST be - sent to the port from whence they came. This is because the ports - may be modified as the packets pass through NATs. Similarly, IP - addresses of the IKE endpoints are generally not included in the IKE - payloads because the payloads are cryptographically protected and - could not be transparently modified by NATs. - - Port 4500 is reserved for UDP-encapsulated ESP and IKE. When working - through a NAT, it is generally better to pass IKE packets over port - 4500 because some older NATs handle IKE traffic on port 500 cleverly - in an attempt to transparently establish IPsec connections between - endpoints that don't handle NAT traversal themselves. Such NATs may - interfere with the straightforward NAT traversal envisioned by this - document. {{ Clarif-7.6 }} An IPsec endpoint that discovers a NAT - between it and its correspondent MUST send all subsequent traffic - from port 4500, which NATs should not treat specially (as they might - with port 500). - - The specific requirements for supporting NAT traversal [NATREQ] are - listed below. Support for NAT traversal is optional. In this - section only, requirements listed as MUST apply only to - implementations supporting NAT traversal. - - o IKE MUST listen on port 4500 as well as port 500. IKE MUST - respond to the IP address and port from which packets arrived. - - o Both IKE initiator and responder MUST include in their IKE_SA_INIT - packets Notify payloads of type NAT_DETECTION_SOURCE_IP and - NAT_DETECTION_DESTINATION_IP. Those payloads can be used to - detect if there is NAT between the hosts, and which end is behind - the NAT. The location of the payloads in the IKE_SA_INIT packets - are just after the Ni and Nr payloads (before the optional CERTREQ - payload). - - o {{ 3.10.1-16388 }} The data associated with the - NAT_DETECTION_SOURCE_IP notification is a SHA-1 digest of the SPIs - (in the order they appear in the header), IP address, and port on - which this packet was sent. There MAY be multiple - NAT_DETECTION_SOURCE_IP payloads in a message if the sender does - not know which of several network attachments will be used to send - the packet. - - o {{ 3.10.1-16389 }} The data associated with the - NAT_DETECTION_DESTINATION_IP notification is a SHA-1 digest of the - SPIs (in the order they appear in the header), IP address, and - port to which this packet was sent. - - - -Kaufman, et al. Expires August 28, 2008 [Page 55] - -Internet-Draft IKEv2bis February 2008 - - - o {{ 3.10.1-16388 }} {{ 3.10.1-16389 }} The recipient of either the - NAT_DETECTION_SOURCE_IP or NAT_DETECTION_DESTINATION_IP - notification MAY compare the supplied value to a SHA-1 hash of the - SPIs, source IP address, and port, and if they don't match it - SHOULD enable NAT traversal. In the case of a mismatching - NAT_DETECTION_SOURCE_IP hash, the recipient MAY reject the - connection attempt if NAT traversal is not supported. In the case - of a mismatching NAT_DETECTION_DESTINATION_IP hash, it means that - the system receiving the NAT_DETECTION_DESTINATION_IP payload is - behind a NAT and that system SHOULD start sending keepalive - packets as defined in [UDPENCAPS]; alternately, it MAY reject the - connection attempt if NAT traversal is not supported. - - o If none of the NAT_DETECTION_SOURCE_IP payload(s) received matches - the expected value of the source IP and port found from the IP - header of the packet containing the payload, it means that the - system sending those payloads is behind NAT (i.e., someone along - the route changed the source address of the original packet to - match the address of the NAT box). In this case, the system - receiving the payloads should allow dynamic update of the other - systems' IP address, as described later. - - o If the NAT_DETECTION_DESTINATION_IP payload received does not - match the hash of the destination IP and port found from the IP - header of the packet containing the payload, it means that the - system receiving the NAT_DETECTION_DESTINATION_IP payload is - behind a NAT. In this case, that system SHOULD start sending - keepalive packets as explained in [UDPENCAPS]. - - o The IKE initiator MUST check these payloads if present and if they - do not match the addresses in the outer packet MUST tunnel all - future IKE and ESP packets associated with this IKE_SA over UDP - port 4500. - - o To tunnel IKE packets over UDP port 4500, the IKE header has four - octets of zero prepended and the result immediately follows the - UDP header. To tunnel ESP packets over UDP port 4500, the ESP - header immediately follows the UDP header. Since the first four - octets of the ESP header contain the SPI, and the SPI cannot - validly be zero, it is always possible to distinguish ESP and IKE - messages. - - o Implementations MUST process received UDP-encapsulated ESP packets - even when no NAT was detected. - - o The original source and destination IP address required for the - transport mode TCP and UDP packet checksum fixup (see [UDPENCAPS]) - are obtained from the Traffic Selectors associated with the - - - -Kaufman, et al.

In the case of NAT traversal, the Traffic Selectors - MUST contain exactly one IP address, which is then used as the - original IP address. - - o There are cases where a NAT box decides to remove mappings that - are still alive (for example, the keepalive interval is too long, - or the NAT box is rebooted). To recover in these cases, hosts - that are not behind a NAT SHOULD send all packets (including - retransmission packets) to the IP address and port from the last - valid authenticated packet from the other end (i.e., dynamically - update the address). A host behind a NAT SHOULD NOT do this - because it opens a DoS attack possibility.

Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) - - When IPsec tunnels behave as originally specified in [IPSECARCH-OLD], - ECN usage is not appropriate for the outer IP headers because tunnel - decapsulation processing discards ECN congestion indications to the - detriment of the network. ECN support for IPsec tunnels for IKEv1- - based IPsec requires multiple operating modes and negotiation (see - [ECN]).

Security Association Payload - - The Security Association Payload, denoted SA in this memo, is used to - negotiate attributes of a security association. Assembly of Security - Association Payloads requires great peace of mind. An SA payload MAY - contain multiple proposals. If there is more than one, they MUST be - ordered from most preferred to least preferred. Each proposal - contains a single IPsec protocol (where a protocol is IKE, ESP, or - AH), each protocol MAY contain multiple transforms, and each - transform MAY contain multiple attributes. When parsing an SA, an - implementation MUST check that the total Payload Length is consistent - with the payload's internal lengths and counts. Proposals, - Transforms, and Attributes each have their own variable length - encodings. They are nested such that the Payload Length of an SA - includes the combined contents of the SA, Proposal, Transform, and - Attribute information. The length of a Proposal includes the lengths - of all Transforms and Attributes it contains. The length of a - Transform includes the lengths of all Attributes it contains. - - The syntax of Security Associations, Proposals, Transforms, and - Attributes is based on ISAKMP; however the semantics are somewhat - different. The reason for the complexity and the hierarchy is to - allow for multiple possible combinations of algorithms to be encoded - in a single SA. Sometimes there is a choice of multiple algorithms, - whereas other times there is a combination of algorithms. For - example, an initiator might want to propose using ESP with either - (3DES and HMAC_MD5) or (AES and HMAC_SHA1). - - One of the reasons the semantics of the SA payload has changed from - ISAKMP and IKEv1 is to make the encodings more compact in common - cases. - - The Proposal structure contains within it a Proposal # and an IPsec - protocol ID. Each structure MUST have a proposal number one (1) - greater than the previous structure. The first Proposal in the - initiator's SA payload MUST have a Proposal # of one (1). A proposal - of AH or ESP would have two proposal structures, one for AH with - Proposal #1 and one for ESP with Proposal #2. - - Each Proposal/Protocol structure is followed by one or more transform - structures. The number of different transforms is generally - determined by the Protocol. AH generally has two transforms: - Extended Sequence Numbers (ESN) and an integrity check algorithm. - ESP generally has three: ESN, an encryption algorithm and an - - - -Kaufman, et al. Expires August 28, 2008 [Page 63] - -Internet-Draft IKEv2bis February 2008 - - - integrity check algorithm. IKE generally has four transforms: a - Diffie-Hellman group, an integrity check algorithm, a prf algorithm, - and an encryption algorithm. If an algorithm that combines - encryption and integrity protection is proposed, it MUST be proposed - as an encryption algorithm and an integrity protection algorithm MUST - NOT be proposed. For each Protocol, the set of permissible - transforms is assigned transform ID numbers, which appear in the - header of each transform. - - If there are multiple transforms with the same Transform Type, the - proposal is an OR of those transforms. If there are multiple - Transforms with different Transform Types, the proposal is an AND of - the different groups. For example, to propose ESP with (3DES or AES- - CBC) and (HMAC_MD5 or HMAC_SHA), the ESP proposal would contain two - Transform Type 1 candidates (one for 3DES and one for AEC-CBC) and - two Transform Type 3 candidates (one for HMAC_MD5 and one for - HMAC_SHA). This effectively proposes four combinations of - algorithms. If the initiator wanted to propose only a subset of - those, for example (3DES and HMAC_MD5) or (IDEA and HMAC_SHA), there - is no way to encode that as multiple transforms within a single - Proposal. Instead, the initiator would have to construct two - different Proposals, each with two transforms. - - A given transform MAY have one or more Attributes. Attributes are - necessary when the transform can be used in more than one way, as - when an encryption algorithm has a variable key size. The transform - would specify the algorithm and the attribute would specify the key - size. Most transforms do not have attributes. A transform MUST NOT - have multiple attributes of the same type. To propose alternate - values for an attribute (for example, multiple key sizes for the AES - encryption algorithm), and implementation MUST include multiple - Transforms with the same Transform Type each with a single Attribute. - - Note that the semantics of Transforms and Attributes are quite - different from those in IKEv1. In IKEv1, a single Transform carried - multiple algorithms for a protocol with one carried in the Transform - and the others carried in the Attributes. - - 1 2 3 - 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 - +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ - | Next Payload |C| RESERVED | Payload Length | - +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ - | | - ~ ~ - | | - +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ - - - - -Kaufman, et al.

Meaning of INTERNAL_IP4_SUBNET/INTERNAL_IP6_SUBNET - - {{ Section added based on Clarif-6.3 }} - - INTERNAL_IP4/6_SUBNET attributes can indicate additional subnets, - ones that need one or more separate SAs, that can be reached through - the gateway that announces the attributes. INTERNAL_IP4/6_SUBNET - attributes may also express the gateway's policy about what traffic - should be sent through the gateway; the client can choose whether - other traffic (covered by TSr, but not in INTERNAL_IP4/6_SUBNET) is - sent through the gateway or directly to the destination. Thus, - traffic to the addresses listed in the INTERNAL_IP4/6_SUBNET - attributes should be sent through the gateway that announces the - attributes. If there are no existing IPsec SAs whose traffic - selectors cover the address in question, new SAs need to be created. - - For instance, if there are two subnets, 192.0.1.0/26 and - 192.0.2.0/24, and the client's request contains the following: - - CP(CFG_REQUEST) = - INTERNAL_IP4_ADDRESS() - TSi = (0, 0-65535, 0.0.0.0-255.255.255.255) - TSr = (0, 0-65535, 0.0.0.0-255.255.255.255) - - then a valid response could be the following (in which TSr and - INTERNAL_IP4_SUBNET contain the same information): - - CP(CFG_REPLY) = - INTERNAL_IP4_ADDRESS(192.0.1.234) - INTERNAL_IP4_SUBNET(192.0.1.0/255.255.255.192) - INTERNAL_IP4_SUBNET(192.0.2.0/255.255.255.0) - TSi = (0, 0-65535, 192.0.1.234-192.0.1.234) - TSr = ((0, 0-65535, 192.0.1.0-192.0.1.63), - (0, 0-65535, 192.0.2.0-192.0.2.255)) - - In these cases, the INTERNAL_IP4_SUBNET does not really carry any - useful information. - - A different possible reply would have been this: - - - -Kaufman, et al.

Then a response like this would indicate to the client that if - it wants access to the second subnet, it needs to create a separate - SA: - - CP(CFG_REPLY) = - INTERNAL_IP4_ADDRESS(192.0.1.234) - INTERNAL_IP4_SUBNET(192.0.1.0/255.255.255.192) - INTERNAL_IP4_SUBNET(192.0.2.0/255.255.255.0) - TSi = (0, 0-65535, 192.0.1.234-192.0.1.234) - TSr = (0, 0-65535, 192.0.1.0-192.0.1.63) - - INTERNAL_IP4_SUBNET can also be useful if the client's TSr included - only part of the address space. For instance, if the client requests - the following: - - CP(CFG_REQUEST) = - INTERNAL_IP4_ADDRESS() - TSi = (0, 0-65535, 0.0.0.0-255.255.255.255) - TSr = (0, 0-65535, 192.0.2.155-192.0.2.155) - - then the gateway's reply might be: - - CP(CFG_REPLY) = - INTERNAL_IP4_ADDRESS(192.0.1.234) - INTERNAL_IP4_SUBNET(192.0.1.0/255.255.255.192) - INTERNAL_IP4_SUBNET(192.0.2.0/255.255.255.0) - TSi = (0, 0-65535, 192.0.1.234-192.0.1.234) - TSr = (0, 0-65535, 192.0.2.155-192.0.2.155) - - Because the meaning of INTERNAL_IP4_SUBNET/INTERNAL_IP6_SUBNET is in - CFG_REQUESTs is unclear, they cannot be used reliably in - CFG_REQUESTs. - - - - - -Kaufman, et al.

Configuration payloads for IPv6 - - {{ Added this section from Clarif-6.5 }} - - The configuration payloads for IPv6 are based on the corresponding - IPv4 payloads, and do not fully follow the "normal IPv6 way of doing - things". In particular, IPv6 stateless autoconfiguration or router - advertisement messages are not used; neither is neighbor discovery. - - A client can be assigned an IPv6 address using the - INTERNAL_IP6_ADDRESS configuration payload. A minimal exchange might - look like this: - - CP(CFG_REQUEST) = - INTERNAL_IP6_ADDRESS() - INTERNAL_IP6_DNS() - TSi = (0, 0-65535, :: - FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF) - TSr = (0, 0-65535, :: - FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF) - - CP(CFG_REPLY) = - INTERNAL_IP6_ADDRESS(2001:DB8:0:1:2:3:4:5/64) - INTERNAL_IP6_DNS(2001:DB8:99:88:77:66:55:44) - TSi = (0, 0-65535, 2001:DB8:0:1:2:3:4:5 - 2001:DB8:0:1:2:3:4:5) - TSr = (0, 0-65535, :: - FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF) - - The client MAY send a non-empty INTERNAL_IP6_ADDRESS attribute in the - CFG_REQUEST to request a specific address or interface identifier. - The gateway first checks if the specified address is acceptable, and - if it is, returns that one. If the address was not acceptable, the - gateway attempts to use the interface identifier with some other - prefix; if even that fails, the gateway selects another interface - identifier. - - The INTERNAL_IP6_ADDRESS attribute also contains a prefix length - field. When used in a CFG_REPLY, this corresponds to the - INTERNAL_IP4_NETMASK attribute in the IPv4 case. - - Although this approach to configuring IPv6 addresses is reasonably - simple, it has some limitations. IPsec tunnels configured using - IKEv2 are not fully-featured "interfaces" in the IPv6 addressing - architecture sense [IPV6ADDR]. In particular, they do not - necessarily have link-local addresses, and this may complicate the - use of protocols that assume them, such as [MLDV2]. - -3.15.4.

Conformance Requirements - - In order to assure that all implementations of IKEv2 can - interoperate, there are "MUST support" requirements in addition to - those listed elsewhere. Of course, IKEv2 is a security protocol, and - one of its major functions is to allow only authorized parties to - successfully complete establishment of SAs. So a particular - implementation may be configured with any of a number of restrictions - concerning algorithms and trusted authorities that will prevent - universal interoperability. - - IKEv2 is designed to permit minimal implementations that can - interoperate with all compliant implementations. There are a series - of optional features that can easily be ignored by a particular - implementation if it does not support that feature. Those features - include: - - o Ability to negotiate SAs through a NAT and tunnel the resulting - ESP SA over UDP. - - o Ability to request (and respond to a request for) a temporary IP - address on the remote end of a tunnel. - - o Ability to support various types of legacy authentication. - - o Ability to support window sizes greater than one. - - o Ability to establish multiple ESP and/or AH SAs within a single - IKE_SA. - - o Ability to rekey SAs. - - To assure interoperability, all implementations MUST be capable of - parsing all payload types (if only to skip over them) and to ignore - payload types that it does not support unless the critical bit is set - in the payload header. If the critical bit is set in an unsupported - payload header, all implementations MUST reject the messages - containing those payloads. - - Every implementation MUST be capable of doing four-message - IKE_SA_INIT and IKE_AUTH exchanges establishing two SAs (one for IKE, - one for ESP and/or AH). Implementations MAY be initiate-only or - respond-only if appropriate for their platform. Every implementation - MUST be capable of responding to an INFORMATIONAL exchange, but a - minimal implementation MAY respond to any INFORMATIONAL message with - an empty INFORMATIONAL reply (note that within the context of an - IKE_SA, an "empty" message consists of an IKE header followed by an - Encrypted payload with no payloads contained in it). A minimal - - - -Kaufman, et al. Expires August 28, 2008 [Page 104] - -Internet-Draft IKEv2bis February 2008 - - - implementation MAY support the CREATE_CHILD_SA exchange only in so - far as to recognize requests and reject them with a Notify payload of - type NO_ADDITIONAL_SAS. A minimal implementation need not be able to - initiate CREATE_CHILD_SA or INFORMATIONAL exchanges. When an SA - expires (based on locally configured values of either lifetime or - octets passed), and implementation MAY either try to renew it with a - CREATE_CHILD_SA exchange or it MAY delete (close) the old SA and - create a new one. If the responder rejects the CREATE_CHILD_SA - request with a NO_ADDITIONAL_SAS notification, the implementation - MUST be capable of instead deleting the old SA and creating a new - one. - - Implementations are not required to support requesting temporary IP - addresses or responding to such requests. If an implementation does - support issuing such requests, it MUST include a CP payload in - message 3 containing at least a field of type INTERNAL_IP4_ADDRESS or - INTERNAL_IP6_ADDRESS. All other fields are optional. If an - implementation supports responding to such requests, it MUST parse - the CP payload of type CFG_REQUEST in message 3 and recognize a field - of type INTERNAL_IP4_ADDRESS or INTERNAL_IP6_ADDRESS. If it supports - leasing an address of the appropriate type, it MUST return a CP - payload of type CFG_REPLY containing an address of the requested - type. {{ Demoted the SHOULD }} The responder may include any other - related attributes. - - A minimal IPv4 responder implementation will ignore the contents of - the CP payload except to determine that it includes an - INTERNAL_IP4_ADDRESS attribute and will respond with the address and - other related attributes regardless of whether the initiator - requested them. - - A minimal IPv4 initiator will generate a CP payload containing only - an INTERNAL_IP4_ADDRESS attribute and will parse the response - ignoring attributes it does not know how to use. - - For an implementation to be called conforming to this specification, - it MUST be possible to configure it to accept the following: - - o PKIX Certificates containing and signed by RSA keys of size 1024 - or 2048 bits, where the ID passed is any of ID_KEY_ID, ID_FQDN, - ID_RFC822_ADDR, or ID_DER_ASN1_DN. - - o Shared key authentication where the ID passed is any of ID_KEY_ID, - ID_FQDN, or ID_RFC822_ADDR. - - o Authentication where the responder is authenticated using PKIX - Certificates and the initiator is authenticated using shared key - authentication. - - - -Kaufman, et al.

Security Considerations - - While this protocol is designed to minimize disclosure of - configuration information to unauthenticated peers, some such - disclosure is unavoidable. One peer or the other must identify - itself first and prove its identity first. To avoid probing, the - initiator of an exchange is required to identify itself first, and - usually is required to authenticate itself first. The initiator can, - however, learn that the responder supports IKE and what cryptographic - protocols it supports. The responder (or someone impersonating the - responder) can probe the initiator not only for its identity, but - using CERTREQ payloads may be able to determine what certificates the - initiator is willing to use. - - Use of EAP authentication changes the probing possibilities somewhat. - When EAP authentication is used, the responder proves its identity - before the initiator does, so an initiator that knew the name of a - valid initiator could probe the responder for both its name and - certificates. - - Repeated rekeying using CREATE_CHILD_SA without additional Diffie- - Hellman exchanges leaves all SAs vulnerable to cryptanalysis of a - single key or overrun of either endpoint. Implementers should take - note of this fact and set a limit on CREATE_CHILD_SA exchanges - between exponentiations. This memo does not prescribe such a limit. - - The strength of a key derived from a Diffie-Hellman exchange using - any of the groups defined here depends on the inherent strength of - the group, the size of the exponent used, and the entropy provided by - the random number generator used. Due to these inputs, it is - difficult to determine the strength of a key for any of the defined - groups. Diffie-Hellman group number two, when used with a strong - random number generator and an exponent no less than 200 bits, is - common for use with 3DES. Group five provides greater security than - group two. Group one is for historic purposes only and does not - provide sufficient strength except for use with DES, which is also - for historic use only. Implementations should make note of these - estimates when establishing policy and negotiating security - parameters. - - Note that these limitations are on the Diffie-Hellman groups - themselves. There is nothing in IKE that prohibits using stronger - groups nor is there anything that will dilute the strength obtained - from stronger groups (limited by the strength of the other algorithms - negotiated including the prf function). In fact, the extensible - framework of IKE encourages the definition of more groups; use of - elliptical curve groups may greatly increase strength using much - smaller numbers. - - - -Kaufman, et al. Expires August 28, 2008 [Page 106] - -Internet-Draft IKEv2bis February 2008 - - - It is assumed that all Diffie-Hellman exponents are erased from - memory after use. In particular, these exponents MUST NOT be derived - from long-lived secrets like the seed to a pseudo-random generator - that is not erased after use. - - The strength of all keys is limited by the size of the output of the - negotiated prf function. For this reason, a prf function whose - output is less than 128 bits (e.g., 3DES-CBC) MUST NOT be used with - this protocol. - - The security of this protocol is critically dependent on the - randomness of the randomly chosen parameters. These should be - generated by a strong random or properly seeded pseudo-random source - (see [RANDOMNESS]). Implementers should take care to ensure that use - of random numbers for both keys and nonces is engineered in a fashion - that does not undermine the security of the keys. - - For information on the rationale of many of the cryptographic design - choices in this protocol, see [SIGMA] and [SKEME]. Though the - security of negotiated CHILD_SAs does not depend on the strength of - the encryption and integrity protection negotiated in the IKE_SA, - implementations MUST NOT negotiate NONE as the IKE integrity - protection algorithm or ENCR_NULL as the IKE encryption algorithm. - - When using pre-shared keys, a critical consideration is how to assure - the randomness of these secrets. The strongest practice is to ensure - that any pre-shared key contain as much randomness as the strongest - key being negotiated. Deriving a shared secret from a password, - name, or other low-entropy source is not secure. These sources are - subject to dictionary and social engineering attacks, among others. - - The NAT_DETECTION_*_IP notifications contain a hash of the addresses - and ports in an attempt to hide internal IP addresses behind a NAT. - Since the IPv4 address space is only 32 bits, and it is usually very - sparse, it would be possible for an attacker to find out the internal - address used behind the NAT box by trying all possible IP addresses - and trying to find the matching hash. The port numbers are normally - fixed to 500, and the SPIs can be extracted from the packet. This - reduces the number of hash calculations to 2^32. With an educated - guess of the use of private address space, the number of hash - calculations is much smaller. Designers should therefore not assume - that use of IKE will not leak internal address information. - - When using an EAP authentication method that does not generate a - shared key for protecting a subsequent AUTH payload, certain man-in- - the-middle and server impersonation attacks are possible [EAPMITM]. - These vulnerabilities occur when EAP is also used in protocols that - are not protected with a secure tunnel. Since EAP is a general- - - - -Kaufman, et al. Expires August 28, 2008 [Page 107] - -Internet-Draft IKEv2bis February 2008 - - - purpose authentication protocol, which is often used to provide - single-signon facilities, a deployed IPsec solution that relies on an - EAP authentication method that does not generate a shared key (also - known as a non-key-generating EAP method) can become compromised due - to the deployment of an entirely unrelated application that also - happens to use the same non-key-generating EAP method, but in an - unprotected fashion. Note that this vulnerability is not limited to - just EAP, but can occur in other scenarios where an authentication - infrastructure is reused. For example, if the EAP mechanism used by - IKEv2 utilizes a token authenticator, a man-in-the-middle attacker - could impersonate the web server, intercept the token authentication - exchange, and use it to initiate an IKEv2 connection. For this - reason, use of non-key-generating EAP methods SHOULD be avoided where - possible. Where they are used, it is extremely important that all - usages of these EAP methods SHOULD utilize a protected tunnel, where - the initiator validates the responder's certificate before initiating - the EAP exchange. {{ Demoted the SHOULD }} Implementers should - describe the vulnerabilities of using non-key-generating EAP methods - in the documentation of their implementations so that the - administrators deploying IPsec solutions are aware of these dangers. - - An implementation using EAP MUST also use strong authentication of - the server to the client before the EAP exchange begins, even if the - EAP method offers mutual authentication. This avoids having - additional IKEv2 protocol variations and protects the EAP data from - active attackers. - - If the messages of IKEv2 are long enough that IP-level fragmentation - is necessary, it is possible that attackers could prevent the - exchange from completing by exhausting the reassembly buffers. The - chances of this can be minimized by using the Hash and URL encodings - instead of sending certificates (see Section 3.6). Additional - mitigations are discussed in [DOSUDPPROT]. - -5.1. Traffic selector authorization - - {{ Added this section from Clarif-4.13 }} - - IKEv2 relies on information in the Peer Authorization Database (PAD) - when determining what kind of IPsec SAs a peer is allowed to create. - This process is described in [IPSECARCH] Section 4.4.3. When a peer - requests the creation of an IPsec SA with some traffic selectors, the - PAD must contain "Child SA Authorization Data" linking the identity - authenticated by IKEv2 and the addresses permitted for traffic - selectors. - - For example, the PAD might be configured so that authenticated - identity "sgw23.example.com" is allowed to create IPsec SAs for - - - -Kaufman, et al. Expires August 28, 2008 [Page 108] - -Internet-Draft IKEv2bis February 2008 - - - 192.0.2.0/24, meaning this security gateway is a valid - "representative" for these addresses. Host-to-host IPsec requires - similar entries, linking, for example, "fooserver4.example.com" with - 192.0.1.66/32, meaning this identity a valid "owner" or - "representative" of the address in question. - - As noted in [IPSECARCH], "It is necessary to impose these constraints - on creation of child SAs to prevent an authenticated peer from - spoofing IDs associated with other, legitimate peers." In the - example given above, a correct configuration of the PAD prevents - sgw23 from creating IPsec SAs with address 192.0.1.66, and prevents - fooserver4 from creating IPsec SAs with addresses from 192.0.2.0/24. - - It is important to note that simply sending IKEv2 packets using some - particular address does not imply a permission to create IPsec SAs - with that address in the traffic selectors. For example, even if - sgw23 would be able to spoof its IP address as 192.0.1.66, it could - not create IPsec SAs matching fooserver4's traffic. - - The IKEv2 specification does not specify how exactly IP address - assignment using configuration payloads interacts with the PAD. Our - interpretation is that when a security gateway assigns an address - using configuration payloads, it also creates a temporary PAD entry - linking the authenticated peer identity and the newly allocated inner - address. - - It has been recognized that configuring the PAD correctly may be - difficult in some environments. For instance, if IPsec is used - between a pair of hosts whose addresses are allocated dynamically - using DHCP, it is extremely difficult to ensure that the PAD - specifies the correct "owner" for each IP address. This would - require a mechanism to securely convey address assignments from the - DHCP server, and link them to identities authenticated using IKEv2. - - Due to this limitation, some vendors have been known to configure - their PADs to allow an authenticated peer to create IPsec SAs with - traffic selectors containing the same address that was used for the - IKEv2 packets. In environments where IP spoofing is possible (i.e., - almost everywhere) this essentially allows any peer to create IPsec - SAs with any traffic selectors. This is not an appropriate or secure - configuration in most circumstances. See [H2HIPSEC] for an extensive - discussion about this issue, and the limitations of host-to-host - IPsec in general. - - -6.

Summary of changes from IKEv1 - - The goals of this revision to IKE are: - - - - - - -Kaufman, et al. Expires August 28, 2008 [Page 115] - -Internet-Draft IKEv2bis February 2008 - - - 1. To define the entire IKE protocol in a single document, - replacing RFCs 2407, 2408, and 2409 and incorporating subsequent - changes to support NAT Traversal, Extensible Authentication, and - Remote Address acquisition; - - 2. To simplify IKE by replacing the eight different initial - exchanges with a single four-message exchange (with changes in - authentication mechanisms affecting only a single AUTH payload - rather than restructuring the entire exchange) see - [EXCHANGEANALYSIS]; - - 3. To remove the Domain of Interpretation (DOI), Situation (SIT), - and Labeled Domain Identifier fields, and the Commit and - Authentication only bits; - - 4. To decrease IKE's latency in the common case by making the - initial exchange be 2 round trips (4 messages), and allowing the - ability to piggyback setup of a CHILD_SA on that exchange; - - 5. To replace the cryptographic syntax for protecting the IKE - messages themselves with one based closely on ESP to simplify - implementation and security analysis; - - 6. To reduce the number of possible error states by making the - protocol reliable (all messages are acknowledged) and sequenced. - This allows shortening CREATE_CHILD_SA exchanges from 3 messages - to 2; - - 7. To increase robustness by allowing the responder to not do - significant processing until it receives a message proving that - the initiator can receive messages at its claimed IP address; - - 8. To fix cryptographic weaknesses such as the problem with - symmetries in hashes used for authentication documented by Tero - Kivinen; - - 9. To specify Traffic Selectors in their own payloads type rather - than overloading ID payloads, and making more flexible the - Traffic Selectors that may be specified; - - 10. To specify required behavior under certain error conditions or - when data that is not understood is received in order to make it - easier to make future revisions in a way that does not break - backwards compatibility; - - 11. To simplify and clarify how shared state is maintained in the - presence of network failures and Denial of Service attacks; and - - - - -Kaufman, et al. Expires August 28, 2008 [Page 116] - -Internet-Draft IKEv2bis February 2008 - - - 12. To maintain existing syntax and magic numbers to the extent - possible to make it likely that implementations of IKEv1 can be - enhanced to support IKEv2 with minimum effort. - - -Appendix B. Diffie-Hellman Groups - - There are two Diffie-Hellman groups defined here for use in IKE. - These groups were generated by Richard Schroeppel at the University - of Arizona.

Changes Between Internet Draft Versions - - This section will be removed before publication as an RFC, but should - be left intact until then so that reviewers can follow what has - changed. - -D.1. Changes from IKEv2 to draft -00 - - There were a zillion additions from RFC 4718. These are noted with - "{{ Clarif-nn }}". - - Cleaned up many of the figures. Made the table headings consistent. - Made some tables easier to read by removing blank spaces. Removed - - - -Kaufman, et al. Expires August 28, 2008 [Page 121] - -Internet-Draft IKEv2bis February 2008 - - - the "reserved to IANA" and "private use" text wording and moved it - into the tables. - - Changed many SHOULD requirements to better match RFC 2119. These are - also marked with comments such as "{{ Demoted the SHOULD }}". - - In Section 2.16, changed the MUST requirement of authenticating the - responder from "public key signature based" to "strong" because that - is what most current IKEv2 implementations do, and it better matches - the actual security requirement. - -D.2. Changes from draft -00 to draft -01 - - The most significant technical change was to make KE optional but - strongly recommended in Section 1.3.2. - - Updated all references to the IKEv2 Clarifications document to RFC - 4718. - - Moved a lot of the protocol description out of the long tables in - Section 3.10.1 into the body of the document.
