Abstract

   The United States National Institute of Standards and Technology
   (NIST) has chosen a new Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), which is
   significantly faster and (it is believed) more secure than the old
   Data Encryption Standard (DES) algorithm.  This document is a
   specification for the addition of this algorithm to the Kerberos
   cryptosystem suite.

1.  Introduction

   This document defines encryption key and checksum types for Kerberos
   5 using the AES algorithm recently chosen by NIST.  These new types
   support 128-bit block encryption and key sizes of 128 or 256 bits.

   Using the "simplified profile" of [KCRYPTO], we can define a pair of
   encryption and checksum schemes.  AES is used with ciphertext
   stealing to avoid message expansion, and SHA-1 [SHA1] is the
   associated checksum function.

2.  Conventions used in this Document

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14, RFC 2119
   [KEYWORDS].

RFC 3962             AES Encryption for Kerberos 5         February 2005


3.  Protocol Key Representation

   The profile in [KCRYPTO] treats keys and random octet strings as
   conceptually different.  But since the AES key space is dense, we can
   use any bit string of appropriate length as a key.  We use the byte
   representation for the key described in [AES], where the first bit of
   the bit string is the high bit of the first byte of the byte string
   (octet string) representation.

4.  Key Generation from Pass Phrases or Random Data

   Given the above format for keys, we can generate keys from the
   appropriate amounts of random data (128 or 256 bits) by simply
   copying the input string.

   To generate an encryption key from a pass phrase and salt string, we
   use the PBKDF2 function from PKCS #5 v2.0 ([PKCS5]), with parameters
   indicated below, to generate an intermediate key (of the same length
   as the desired final key), which is then passed into the DK function
   with the 8-octet ASCII string "kerberos" as is done for des3-cbc-
   hmac-sha1-kd in [KCRYPTO].  (In [KCRYPTO] terms, the PBKDF2 function
   produces a "random octet string", hence the application of the
   random-to-key function even though it's effectively a simple identity
   operation.)  The resulting key is the user's long-term key for use
   with the encryption algorithm in question.

   tkey = random2key(PBKDF2(passphrase, salt, iter_count, keylength))
   key = DK(tkey, "kerberos")

   The pseudorandom function used by PBKDF2 will be a SHA-1 HMAC of the
   passphrase and salt, as described in Appendix B.1 to PKCS#5.

   The number of iterations is specified by the string-to-key parameters
   supplied.  The parameter string is four octets indicating an unsigned
   number in big-endian order.  This is the number of iterations to be
   performed.  If the value is 00 00 00 00, the number of iterations to
   be performed is 4,294,967,296 (2**32).  (Thus the minimum expressible
   iteration count is 1.)

   For environments where slower hardware is the norm, implementations
   of protocols such as Kerberos may wish to limit the number of
   iterations to prevent a spoofed response supplied by an attacker from
   consuming lots of client-side CPU time; if such a limit is
   implemented, it SHOULD be no less than 50,000.  Even for environments
   with fast hardware, 4 billion iterations is likely to take a fairly
   long time; much larger bounds might still be enforced, and it might
   be wise for implementations to permit interruption of this operation
   by the user if the environment allows for it.

RFC 3962             AES Encryption for Kerberos 5         February 2005


   If the string-to-key parameters are not supplied, the value used is
   00 00 10 00 (decimal 4,096, indicating 4,096 iterations).

   Note that this is not a requirement, nor even a recommendation, for
   this value to be used in "optimistic preauthentication" (e.g.,
   attempting timestamp-based preauthentication using the user's long-
   term key without having first communicated with the KDC) in the
   absence of additional information, or as a default value for sites to
   use for their principals' long-term keys in their Kerberos database.
   It is simply the interpretation of the absence of the string-to-key
   parameter field when the KDC has had an opportunity to provide it.

   Sample test vectors are given in Appendix B.

5.  Ciphertext Stealing

   Cipher block chaining is used to encrypt messages, with the initial
   vector stored in the cipher state.  Unlike previous Kerberos
   cryptosystems, we use ciphertext stealing to handle the possibly
   partial final block of the message.

   Ciphertext stealing is described on pages 195-196 of [AC], and
   section 8 of [RC5]; it has the advantage that no message expansion is
   done during encryption of messages of arbitrary sizes as is typically
   done in CBC mode with padding.  Some errata for [RC5] are listed in
   Appendix A and are considered part of the ciphertext stealing
   technique as used here.

   Ciphertext stealing, as defined in [RC5], assumes that more than one
   block of plain text is available.  If exactly one block is to be
   encrypted, that block is simply encrypted with AES (also known as ECB
   mode).  Input smaller than one block is padded at the end to one
   block; the values of the padding bits are unspecified.
   (Implementations MAY use all-zero padding, but protocols MUST NOT
   rely on the result being deterministic.  Implementations MAY use
   random padding, but protocols MUST NOT rely on the result not being
   deterministic.  Note that in most cases, the Kerberos encryption
   profile will add a random confounder independent of this padding.)

   For consistency, ciphertext stealing is always used for the last two
   blocks of the data to be encrypted, as in [RC5].  If the data length
   is a multiple of the block size, this is equivalent to plain CBC mode
   with the last two ciphertext blocks swapped.

   A test vector is given in Appendix B.

RFC 3962             AES Encryption for Kerberos 5         February 2005


   The initial vector carried out from one encryption for use in a
   subsequent encryption is the next-to-last block of the encryption
   output; this is the encrypted form of the last plaintext block.  When
   decrypting, the next-to-last block of the supplied ciphertext is
   carried forward as the next initial vector.  If only one ciphertext
   block is available (decrypting one block, or encrypting one block or
   less), then that one block is carried out instead.

6.  Kerberos Algorithm Profile Parameters

   This is a summary of the parameters to be used with the simplified

   These checksum types will be used with the corresponding encryption
   types defined above.

8.  Security Considerations

   This new algorithm has not been around long enough to receive the
   decades of intense analysis that DES has received.  It is possible
   that some weakness exists that has not been found by the
   cryptographers analyzing these algorithms before and during the AES
   selection process.

   The use of the HMAC function has drawbacks for certain pass phrase
   lengths.  For example, a pass phrase longer than the hash function
   block size (64 bytes, for SHA-1) is hashed to a smaller size (20
   bytes) before applying the main HMAC algorithm.  However, entropy is
   generally sparse in pass phrases, especially in long ones, so this
   may not be a problem in the rare cases of users with long pass
   phrases.

   Also, generating a 256-bit key from a pass phrase of any length may
   be deceptive, as the effective entropy in pass-phrase-derived key
   cannot be nearly that large given the properties of the string-to-key
   function described here.




Raeburn                     Standards Track                     [Page 5]


RFC 3962             AES Encryption for Kerberos 5         February 2005


   The iteration count in PBKDF2 appears to be useful primarily as a
   constant multiplier for the amount of work required for an attacker
   using brute-force methods.  Unfortunately, it also multiplies, by the
   same amount, the work needed by a legitimate user with a valid
   password.  Thus the work factor imposed on an attacker (who may have
   many powerful workstations at his disposal) must be balanced against
   the work factor imposed on the legitimate user (who may have a PDA or
   cell phone); the available computing power on either side increases
   as time goes on, as well.  A better way to deal with the brute-force
   attack is through preauthentication mechanisms that provide better
   protection of the user's long-term key.  Use of such mechanisms is
   out of the scope of this document.

   If a site does wish to use this means of protection against a brute-
   force attack, the iteration count should be chosen based on the
   facilities available to both attacker and legitimate user, and the
   amount of work the attacker should be required to perform to acquire
   the key or password.

   As an example:

      The author's tests on a 2GHz Pentium 4 system indicated that in
      one second, nearly 90,000 iterations could be done, producing a
      256-bit key.  This was using the SHA-1 assembly implementation
      from OpenSSL, and a pre-release version of the PBKDF2 code for
      MIT's Kerberos package, on a single system.  No attempt was made
      to do multiple hashes in parallel, so we assume an attacker doing
      so can probably do at least 100,000 iterations per second --
      rounded up to 2**17, for ease of calculation.  For simplicity, we
      also assume the final AES encryption step costs nothing.

      Paul Leach estimates [LEACH] that a password-cracking dictionary
      may have on the order of 2**21 entries, with capitalization,
      punctuation, and other variations contributing perhaps a factor of
      2**11, giving a ballpark estimate of 2**32.

      Thus, for a known iteration count N and a known salt string, an
      attacker with some number of computers comparable to the author's
      would need roughly N*2**15 CPU seconds to convert the entire
      dictionary plus variations into keys.

      An attacker using a dozen such computers for a month would have
      roughly 2**25 CPU seconds available.  So using 2**12 (4,096)
      iterations would mean an attacker with a dozen such computers
      dedicated to a brute-force attack against a single key (actually,
      any password-derived keys sharing the same salt and iteration





Raeburn                     Standards Track                     [Page 6]


RFC 3962             AES Encryption for Kerberos 5         February 2005


      count) would process all the variations of the dictionary entries
      in four months and, on average, would likely find the user's
      password in two months.

      Thus, if this form of attack is of concern, users should be
      required to change their passwords every few months, and an
      iteration count a few orders of magnitude higher should be chosen.
      Perhaps several orders of magnitude, as many users will tend to
      use the shorter and simpler passwords (to the extent they can,
      given a site's password quality checks) that the attacker would
      likely try first.

      Since this estimate is based on currently available CPU power, the
      iteration counts used for this mode of defense should be increased
      over time, at perhaps 40%-60% each year or so.

      Note that if the attacker has a large amount of storage available,
      intermediate results could be cached, saving a lot of work for the
      next attack with the same salt and a greater number of iterations
      than had been run at the point where the intermediate results were
      saved.  Thus, it would be wise to generate a new random salt
      string when passwords are changed.  The default salt string,
      derived from the principal name, only protects against the use of
      one dictionary of keys against multiple users.

   If the PBKDF2 iteration count can be spoofed by an intruder on the
   network, and the limit on the accepted iteration count is very high,
   the intruder may be able to introduce a form of denial of service
   attack against the client by sending a very high iteration count,
   causing the client to spend a great deal of CPU time computing an
   incorrect key.

   An intruder spoofing the KDC reply, providing a low iteration count
   and reading the client's reply from the network, may be able to
   reduce the work needed in the brute-force attack outlined above.
   Thus, implementations may seek to enforce lower bounds on the number
   of iterations that will be used.

   Since threat models and typical end-user equipment will vary widely
   from site to site, allowing site-specific configuration of such
   bounds is recommended.

   Any benefit against other attacks specific to the HMAC or SHA-1
   algorithms is probably achieved with a fairly small number of
   iterations.






Raeburn                     Standards Track                     [Page 7]


RFC 3962             AES Encryption for Kerberos 5         February 2005


   In the "optimistic preauthentication" case mentioned in section 3,
   the client may attempt to produce a key without first communicating
   with the KDC.  If the client has no additional information, it can
   only guess as to the iteration count to be used.  Even such
   heuristics as "iteration count X was used to acquire tickets for the
   same principal only N hours ago" can be wrong.  Given the
   recommendation above for increasing the iteration counts used over
   time, it is impossible to recommend any specific default value for
   this case; allowing site-local configuration is recommended.  (If the
   lower and upper bound checks described above are implemented, the
   default count for optimistic preauthentication should be between
   those bounds.)

   Ciphertext stealing mode, as it requires no additional padding in
   most cases, will reveal the exact length of each message being
   encrypted rather than merely bounding it to a small range of possible
   lengths as in CBC mode.  Such obfuscation should not be relied upon
   at higher levels in any case; if the length must be obscured from an
   outside observer, this should be done by intentionally varying the
   length of the message to be encrypted.

9.  IANA Considerations

   Kerberos encryption and checksum type values used in section 7 were
   previously reserved in [KCRYPTO] for the mechanisms defined in this
   document.  The registries have been updated to list this document as
   the reference.

   In Section 8, Description of RC5-CTS, of the encryption method,
   it says:

       1. Exclusive-or Pn-1 with the previous ciphertext
          block, Cn-2, to create Xn-1.

   It should say:

       1. Exclusive-or Pn-1 with the previous ciphertext
          block, Cn-2, to create Xn-1.  For short messages where
          Cn-2 does not exist, use IV.

   Reported By: Bob Baldwin; baldwin@plusfive.com
   Date: Mon, 22 Mar 2004 20:26:40 -0800

   In Section 8, first paragraph, second sentence says:

       This mode handles any length of plaintext and produces ciphertext
       whose length matches the plaintext length.

   In Section 8, first paragraph, second sentence should read:

       This mode handles any length of plaintext longer than one
       block and produces ciphertext whose length matches the
       plaintext length.

   In Section 8, step 6 of the decryption method says:

       6. Decrypt En to create Pn-1.

   In Section 8, step 6 of the decryption method should read:

       6. Decrypt En and exclusive-or with Cn-2 to create Pn-1.
          For short messages where Cn-2 does not exist, use the IV.
