ACE Working Group M. Tiloca Internet-Draft RISE AB Intended status: Standards Track J. Park Expires: December 20, 2020 Universitaet Duisburg-Essen F. Palombini Ericsson AB June 18, 2020 Key Management for OSCORE Groups in ACE draft-ietf-ace-key-groupcomm-oscore-07 Abstract This specification defines an application profile of the ACE framework for Authentication and Authorization, to request and provision keying material in group communication scenarios that are based on CoAP and secured with Group Object Security for Constrained RESTful Environments (OSCORE). This application profile delegates the authentication and authorization of Clients that join an OSCORE group through a Resource Server acting as Group Manager for that group. This application profile leverages protocol-specific transport profiles of ACE to achieve communication security, server authentication and proof-of-possession for a key owned by the Client and bound to an OAuth 2.0 access token.

Introduction Object Security for Constrained RESTful Environments (OSCORE) [RFC8613] is a method for application-layer protection of the Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) [RFC7252], using CBOR Object Signing and Encryption (COSE) [I-D.ietf-cose-rfc8152bis-struct][I-D.ietf-cose-rfc8152bis-algs] and enabling end-to-end security of CoAP payload and options. As described in [I-D.ietf-core-oscore-groupcomm], Group OSCORE is used to protect CoAP group communication over IP multicast [I-D.ietf-core-groupcomm-bis]. This relies on a Group Manager, which is responsible for managing an OSCORE group and enables the group members to exchange CoAP messages secured with Group OSCORE. The Group Manager can be responsible for multiple groups, coordinates the joining process of new group members, and is entrusted with the distribution and renewal of group keying material. This specification is an application profile of [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm], which itself builds on the ACE framework for Authentication and Authorization [I-D.ietf-ace-oauth-authz]. Message exchanges among the participants as well as message formats and processing follow what specified in [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm] for provisioning and renewing keying material in group communication scenarios, where Group OSCORE is used to protect CoAP group communication over IP multicast. Tiloca, et al. Expires December 20, 2020 [Page 3] Internet-Draft Key Management for OSCORE Groups in ACE June 2020 1.1. Terminology The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 [RFC2119][RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here. Readers are expected to be familiar with: o The terms and concepts described in the ACE framework for authentication and authorization [I-D.ietf-ace-oauth-authz]. The terminology for entities in the considered architecture is defined in OAuth 2.0 [RFC6749]. In particular, this includes Client (C), Resource Server (RS), and Authorization Server (AS). o The terms and concepts related to the CoAP protocol described in [RFC7252][I-D.ietf-core-groupcomm-bis]. Unless otherwise indicated, the term "endpoint" is used here following its OAuth definition, aimed at denoting resources such as /token and /introspect at the AS and /authz-info at the RS. This document does not use the CoAP definition of "endpoint", which is "An entity participating in the CoAP protocol". o The terms and concept related to the message formats and processing specified in [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm], for provisioning and renewing keying material in group communication scenarios. o The terms and concepts for protection and processing of CoAP messages through OSCORE [RFC8613] and through Group OSCORE [I-D.ietf-core-oscore-groupcomm] in group communication scenarios. These include the concept of Group Manager, as the entity responsible for a set of groups where communications are secured with Group OSCORE. In this specification, the Group Manager acts as Resource Server. Additionally, this document makes use of the following terminology. o Group name is used as a synonym for group identifier in [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm]. o Requester: member of an OSCORE group that sends request messages to other members of the group. o Responder: member of an OSCORE group that receives request messages from other members of the group. A responder may reply Tiloca, et al. Expires December 20, 2020 [Page 4] Internet-Draft Key Management for OSCORE Groups in ACE June 2020 back, by sending a response message to the requester which has sent the request message. o Monitor: member of an OSCORE group that is configured as responder and never replies back to requesters after receiving request messages. This corresponds to the term "silent server" used in [I-D.ietf-core-oscore-groupcomm]. o Signature verifier: entity external to the OSCORE group and intended to verify the countersignature of messages exchanged in the group. An authorized signature verifier does not join the OSCORE group as an actual member, yet it can retrieve the public keys of the current group members from the Group Manager. 2. Protocol Overview Group communication for CoAP over IP multicast has been enabled in [I-D.ietf-core-groupcomm-bis] and can be secured with Group Object Security for Constrained RESTful Environments (OSCORE) [RFC8613] as described in [I-D.ietf-core-oscore-groupcomm]. A network node joins an OSCORE group by interacting with the responsible Group Manager. Once registered in the group, the new node can securely exchange messages with other group members. This specification describes how to use [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm] and [I-D.ietf-ace-oauth-authz] to perform a number of authentication, authorization and key distribution actions, as defined in Section 2 of [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm], for an OSCORE group. With reference to [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm]: o The node wishing to joining the OSCORE group, i.e. the joining node, is the Client. o The Group Manager is the Key Distribution Center (KDC), acting as a Resource Server. o The Authorization Server associated to the Group Manager is the AS. All communications between the involved entities MUST be secured. In particular, communications between the Client and the Group Manager leverage protocol-specific transport profiles of ACE to achieve communication security, proof-of-possession and server authentication. Note that it is expected that in the commonly referred base-case of this specification, the transport profile to Tiloca, et al. Expires December 20, 2020 [Page 5] Internet-Draft Key Management for OSCORE Groups in ACE June 2020 use is pre-configured and well-known to nodes participating in constrained applications. 2.1. Overview of the Joining Process A node performs the steps described in Section 4.2 of [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm] in order to join an OSCORE group. The format and processing of messages exchanged among the participants are further specified in Section 3 and Section 5 of this document. 2.2. Overview of the Group Rekeying Process If the application requires backward and forward security, the Group Manager MUST generate new keying material and distribute it to the group (rekeying) upon membership changes. That is, the group is rekeyed when a node joins the group as a new member, or after a current member leaves the group. By doing so, a joining node cannot access communications in the group prior its joining, while a leaving node cannot access communications in the group after its leaving. The keying material distributed through a group rekeying MUST include: o a new Group Identifier (Gid) for the group, used as ID Context parameter of the OSCORE Common Security Context of that group (see Section 2 of [I-D.ietf-core-oscore-groupcomm]). Note that the Gid differs from the plain group name introduced in Section 1.1, which is a plain, stable and invariant identifier, with no cryptographic relevance and meaning. o a new value for the Master Secret parameter of the OSCORE Common Security Context of that group (see Section 2 of [I-D.ietf-core-oscore-groupcomm]). Also, the distributed keying material MAY include a new value for the Master Salt parameter of the OSCORE Common Security Context of that group. Upon generating the new group keying material and before starting its distribution, the Group Manager MUST increment the version number of the group keying material. When rekeying a group, the Group Manager MUST preserve the current value of the Sender ID of each member in that group. Tiloca, et al. Expires December 20, 2020 [Page 6] Internet-Draft Key Management for OSCORE Groups in ACE June 2020 The Group Manager MUST support the Group Rekeying Process described in Section 16. Future application profiles may define alternative message formats and distribution schemes to perform group rekeying. 3. Joining Node to Authorization Server This section describes how the joining node interacts with the AS in order to be authorized to join an OSCORE group under a given Group Manager. In particular, it considers a joining node that intends to contact that Group Manager for the first time. The message exchange between the joining node and the AS consists of the messages Authorization Request and Authorization Response defined in Section 3 of [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm]. Note that what is defined in [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm] applies, and only additions or modifications to that specification are defined here. 3.1. Authorization Request The Authorization Request message is as defined in Section 3.1 of [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm], with the following additions. o If the 'scope' parameter is present: * The group name of each OSCORE group to join under the Group Manager is encoded as a CBOR text string (REQ1). * Accepted values for role identifiers in the OSCORE group to join are: "requester", "responder", and "monitor" (REQ2). Possible combinations are: ["requester" , "responder"]. An additional role identifier is "verifier", denoting an external signature verifier that does not join the OSCORE group. Each role identifier MUST be encoded as a CBOR integer (REQ2), by using for abbreviation the values specified in Figure 1 (OPT7) (see Appendix A). +-----------+------------+ | Name | CBOR Value | +-----------+------------+ | requester | TBD8 | | responder | TBD9 | | monitor | TBD10 | | verifier | TBD11 | +-----------+------------+ Figure 1: CBOR Abbreviations for Role Identifiers in the Group Tiloca, et al. Expires December 20, 2020 [Page 7] Internet-Draft Key Management for OSCORE Groups in ACE June 2020 3.2. Authorization Response The Authorization Response message is as defined in Section 3.2 of [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm], with the following additions: o The AS MUST include the 'expires_in' parameter. Other means for the AS to specify the lifetime of Access Tokens are out of the scope of this specification. o The AS MUST include the 'scope' parameter, when the value included in the Access Token differs from the one specified by the joining node in the request. In such a case, the second element of each scope entry MUST be present, and includes the role or CBOR array of roles that the joining node is actually authorized to take in the OSCORE group for that scope entry, encoded as specified in Section 3.1 of this document. 4. Interface at the Group Manager The Group Manager provides the interface defined in Section 4.1 of [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm], with the following additional resource: o /group-oscore/GROUPNAME/active: this sub-resource is fixed and supports the GET method, whose handler is defined in Section 4.1. 4.1. GET Handler The handler expects a GET request. The handler verifies that the group identifier of the /group- oscore/GROUPNAME/active path is a subset of the 'scope' stored in the Access Token associated to the requesting client. If verification fails, the Group Manager MUST respond with a 4.01 (Unauthorized) error message. If verification succeeds, the handler returns a 2.05 (Content) message containing the CBOR simple value True if the group is currently active, or the CBOR simple value False otherwise. The group is considered active if it is set to allow new members to join, and if communication within the group is expected. The method to set the current group status, i.e. active or inactive, is out of the scope of this specification, and is defined for the administrator interface of the Group Manager specified in [I-D.tiloca-ace-oscore-gm-admin]. Tiloca, et al. Expires December 20, 2020 [Page 8] Internet-Draft Key Management for OSCORE Groups in ACE June 2020 5. Token POST and Group Joining The following subsections describe the interactions between the joining node and the Group Manager, i.e. the sending of the Access Token and the Request-Response exchange to join the OSCORE group. The message exchange between the joining node and the KDC consists of the messages defined in Section 3.3 and 4.2 of [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm]. Note that what is defined in [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm] applies, and only additions or modifications to that specification are defined here. A signature verifier provides the Group Manager with an Access Token, as described in Section 5.1, just as any another joining node does. However, unlike candidate group members, it does not join any OSCORE group, i.e. it does not perform the joining process defined in Section 5.2. After a successful token posting, a signature verifier is authorized to perform only the operations specified in Section 9, to retrieve the public keys of group members, and only for the OSCORE groups specified in the validated Access Token. The Group Manager MUST respond with a 4.01 (Unauthorized) error message, in case a signature verifier attempts to access any other endpoint than /group- oscore/GROUPNAME/pub-key at the Group Manager. 5.1. Token Post The Token post exchange is defined in Section 3.3 of [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm]. Additionally to what defined in [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm], the following applies. o The 'kdcchallenge' parameter contains a dedicated nonce N_S generated by the Group Manager. For the N_S value, it is RECOMMENDED to use a 8-byte long random nonce. The joining node may use this nonce in order to prove the possession of its own private key, upon joining the group (see Section 5.2). The 'kdcchallenge' parameter MAY be omitted from the 2.01 (Created) response, if the 'scope' of the Access Token includes only the role "monitor" or only the role "verifier", for each of the specified groups. o If the 'sign_info' parameter is present in the response, the following applies for each element 'sign_info_entry'. * In the 'id' element, every group name is encoded as a CBOR text string (REQ1) (see Appendix A). Tiloca, et al. Expires December 20, 2020 [Page 9] Internet-Draft Key Management for OSCORE Groups in ACE June 2020 * 'sign_alg' takes value from the "Value" column of the "COSE Algorithms" Registry [COSE.Algorithms], if not encoding the CBOR simple value Null. * If not encoding the CBOR simple value Null, 'sign_parameters' is a CBOR array including the following two elements: + 'sign_alg_capab', encoded as a CBOR array. Its precise format and value is the same as the COSE capabilities entry in the "Capabilities" column of the "COSE Algorithms" Registry [COSE.Algorithms], for the algorithm indicated in 'sign_alg' (REQ4). + 'sign_key_type_capab', encoded as a CBOR array. Its precise format and value is the same as the COSE capabilities entry in the "Capabilities" column of the "COSE Key Types" Registry [COSE.Key.Types], for the algorithm indicated in 'sign_alg' (REQ4). * If not encoding the CBOR simple value Null, 'sign_key_parameters' is a CBOR array. Its precise format and value is the same as the COSE capabilities entry in the "Capabilities" column of the "COSE Key Types" Registry [COSE.Key.Types], for the algorithm indicated in 'sign_alg' (REQ5). * If 'pub_key_enc_res' is present, it takes value 1 ("COSE_Key") from the 'Confirmation Key' column of the "CWT Confirmation Method" Registry defined in [RFC8747], so indicating that public keys in the OSCORE group are encoded as COSE Keys [I-D.ietf-cose-rfc8152bis-struct]. Future specifications may define additional values for this parameter. Note that, other than through the above parameters as defined in Section 3.3 of [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm], the joining node MAY have previously retrieved this information by other means, e.g. by using the approach described in [I-D.tiloca-core-oscore-discovery]. Additionally, if allowed by the used transport profile of ACE, the joining node may instead provide the Access Token to the Group Manager by other means, e.g. during a secure session establishment (see Section 3.3.1 of [I-D.ietf-ace-dtls-authorize]). 5.2. Sending the Joining Request The joining node requests to join the OSCORE group, by sending a Joining Request message to the related group-membership resource at Tiloca, et al. Expires December 20, 2020 [Page 10] Internet-Draft Key Management for OSCORE Groups in ACE June 2020 the Group Manager, as per Section 4.2 of [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm]. Additionally to what defined in [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm], the following applies. o The string "group-oscore" is used instead of "ace-group" (see Section 4.1 of [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm]) as the top level path to the group-membership resource. The url-path /group-oscore/ is a default name of this specifications: implementations are not required to use this name, and can define their own instead. o The 'get_pub_keys' parameter is present only if the joining node wants to retrieve the public keys of the group members from the Group Manager during the joining process (see Section 6). Otherwise, this parameter MUST NOT be present. o 'cnonce' contains a dedicated nonce N_C generated by the joining node. For the N_C value, it is RECOMMENDED to use a 8-byte long random nonce. o The signature encoded in the 'client_cred_verify' parameter is computed by the joining node by using the same private key and countersignature algorithm it intends to use for signing messages in the OSCORE group. Moreover, N_S is as defined in Section 5.2.1. 5.2.1. Value of the N_S Challenge The value of the N_S challenge is determined as follows. 1. If the joining node has posted the Access Token to the /authz- info endpoint of the Group Manager as in Section 5.1, N_S takes the same value of the most recent 'kdcchallenge' parameter received by the joining node from the Group Manager. This can be either the one specified in the 2.01 (Created) response to the Token POST, or the one possibly specified in a 4.00 (Bad Request) response to a following Joining Request (see Section 5.3). 2. If the Token posting has relied on the DTLS profile of ACE [I-D.ietf-ace-dtls-authorize] with the Access Token as content of the "psk_identity" field of the ClientKeyExchange message [RFC6347], N_S is an exporter value computed as defined in Section 7.5 of [RFC8446]. Specifically, N_S is exported from the DTLS session between the joining node and the Group Manager, using an empty 'context_value', 32 bytes as 'key_length', and the exporter label "EXPORTER-ACE-Sign-Challenge-coap-group-oscore- app" defined in Section 18.7 of this specification. Tiloca, et al. Expires December 20, 2020 [Page 11] Internet-Draft Key Management for OSCORE Groups in ACE June 2020 It is up to applications to define how N_S is computed in further alternative settings. Section 17.3 provides security considerations on the reusage of the N_S challenge. 5.3. Processing the Joining Request The Group Manager processes the Joining Request as defined in Section 4.1.2.1 of [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm]. Additionally, the following applies. o In case the Joining Request does not include the 'client_cred' parameter, the joining process fails if the Group Manager either: i) does not store a public key with an accepted format for the joining node; or ii) stores multiple public keys with an accepted format for the joining node. o To compute the signature contained in 'client_cred_verify', the GM considers: i) as signed value, N_S concatenated with N_C, where N_S is determined as described in Section 5.2.1, while N_C is the nonce provided in the 'cnonce' parameter of the Joining Request; ii) the countersignature algorithm used in the OSCORE group, and possible correponding parameters; and iii) the public key of the joining node, either retrieved from the 'client_cred' parameter, or already stored as acquired from previous interactions with the joining node. o A 4.00 Bad Request response from the Group Manager to the joining node MUST have content format application/ace+cbor. The response payload is a CBOR map which MUST contain the 'sign_info' parameter, including a single element 'sign_info_entry' pertaining the OSCORE group that the joining node tried to join with the Joining Request. o The Group Manager MUST return a 4.00 (Bad Request) response in case the Joining Request includes the 'client_cred' parameter but does not include both the 'cnonce' and 'client_cred_verify' parameters. o The Group Manager MUST return a 4.00 (Bad Request) response in case it cannot retrieve a public key with an accepted format for the joining node, either from the 'client_cred' parameter or as already stored. o When receiving a 4.00 Bad Request response, the joining node SHOULD send a new Joining Request to the Group Manager, where: Tiloca, et al. Expires December 20, 2020 [Page 12] Internet-Draft Key Management for OSCORE Groups in ACE June 2020 * The 'cnonce' parameter MUST include a new dedicated nonce N_C generated by the joining node. * The 'client_cred' parameter MUST include a public key compatible with the encoding, countersignature algorithm and possible associated parameters indicated by the Group Manager. * The 'client_cred_verify' parameter MUST include a signature computed as described in Section 5.2, by using the public key indicated in the current 'client_cred' parameter, with the countersignature algorithm and possible associated parameters indicated by the Group Manager. If the error response from the Group Manager included the 'kdcchallenge' parameter, the joining node MUST use its content as new N_S challenge to compute the signature. 5.4. Joining Response If the processing of the Joining Request described in Section 5.3 is successful, the Group Manager updates the group membership by registering the joining node NODENAME as a new member of the OSCORE group GROUPNAME, as described in Section 4.1.2.1 of [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm]. If the joining node is not exclusively configured as monitor, the Group Manager performs also the following actions. o The Group Manager selects an available OSCORE Sender ID in the OSCORE group, and exclusively assigns it to the joining node. o The Group Manager stores the association between i) the public key of the joining node; and ii) the Group Identifier (Gid), i.e. the OSCORE ID Context, associated to the OSCORE group together with the OSCORE Sender ID assigned to the joining node in the group. The Group Manager MUST keep this association updated over time. Then, the Group Manager replies to the joining node, providing the updated security parameters and keying meterial necessary to participate in the group communication. This success Joining Response is formatted as defined in Section 4.1.2.1 of [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm], with the following additions: o The 'gkty' parameter identifies a key of type "Group_OSCORE_Security_Context object", defined in Section 18.2 of this specification. o The 'key' parameter includes what the joining node needs in order to set up the OSCORE Security Context as per Section 2 of Tiloca, et al. Expires December 20, 2020 [Page 13] Internet-Draft Key Management for OSCORE Groups in ACE June 2020 [I-D.ietf-core-oscore-groupcomm]. This parameter has as value a Group_OSCORE_Security_Context object, which is defined in this specification and extends the OSCORE_Security_Context object encoded in CBOR as defined in Section 3.2.1 of [I-D.ietf-ace-oscore-profile]. In particular, it contains the additional parameters 'cs_alg', 'cs_params', 'cs_key_params' and 'cs_key_enc' defined in Section 18.3 of this specification. More specifically, the 'key' parameter is composed as follows. * The 'ms' parameter MUST be present and includes the OSCORE Master Secret value. * The 'clientId' parameter, if present, has as value the OSCORE Sender ID assigned to the joining node by the Group Manager, as described above. This parameter is not present if the node joins the group exclusively as monitor, according to what specified in the Access Token (see Section 3.2). In any other case, this parameter MUST be present. * The 'hkdf' parameter, if present, has as value the KDF algorithm used in the group. * The 'alg' parameter, if present, has as value the AEAD algorithm used in the group. * The 'salt' parameter, if present, has as value the OSCORE Master Salt. * The 'contextId' parameter MUST be present and has as value the Group Identifier (Gid), i.e. the OSCORE ID Context of the OSCORE group. * The 'cs_alg' parameter MUST be present and specifies the algorithm used to countersign messages in the group. This parameter takes values from the "Value" column of the "COSE Algorithms" Registry [COSE.Algorithms]. * The 'cs_params' parameter MAY be present and specifies the parameters for the counter signature algorithm. This parameter is a CBOR array, which includes the following two elements: + 'sign_alg_capab', with the same encoding as defined in Section 5.1. The value is the same as in the Token Post response where the 'sign_parameters' value was non-null. + 'sign_key_type_capab', with the same encoding as defined in Section 5.1. The value is the same as in the Token Post response where the 'sign_parameters' value was non-null. Tiloca, et al. Expires December 20, 2020 [Page 14] Internet-Draft Key Management for OSCORE Groups in ACE June 2020 * The 'cs_key_params' parameter MAY be present and specifies the parameters for the key used with the counter signature algorithm. This parameter is a CBOR array, with the same non- null encoding and value as 'sign_key_parameters' of the Section 5.1. * The 'cs_key_enc' parameter MAY be present and specifies the encoding of the public keys of the group members. This parameter is a CBOR integer, whose value is 1 ("COSE_Key") taken from the 'Confirmation Key' column of the "CWT Confirmation Method" Registry defined in [RFC8747], so indicating that public keys in the OSCORE group are encoded as COSE Keys [I-D.ietf-cose-rfc8152bis-struct]. Future specifications may define additional values for this parameter. If this parameter is not present, 1 ("COSE_Key") MUST be assumed as default value. o The 'num' parameter MUST be present. o The 'ace-groupcomm-profile' parameter MUST be present and has value coap_group_oscore_app (TBD1), which is defined in Section 18.1 of this specification. o The 'exp' parameter MUST be present. o The 'pub_keys' parameter, if present, includes the public keys of the group members that are relevant to the joining node. That is, it includes: i) the public keys of the responders currently in the group, in case the joining node is configured (also) as requester; and ii) the public keys of the requesters currently in the group, in case the joining node is configured (also) as responder or monitor. If public keys are encoded as COSE_Keys, each of them has as 'kid' the Sender ID that the corresponding owner has in the group, thus used as group member identifier. o The 'group_policies' parameter SHOULD be present, and SHOULD include the elements "Sequence Number Synchronization Method" and "Key Update Check Interval" defined in Section 4.1.2 of [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm], as well as the element "Group OSCORE Pairwise Mode Support" defined in Section 5.5 of this specification. Finally, the joining node uses the information received in the Joining Response to set up the OSCORE Security Context, as described in Section 2 of [I-D.ietf-core-oscore-groupcomm]. In addition, the joining node maintains an association between each public key retrieved from the 'pub_keys' parameter and the role(s) that the corresponding group member has in the group. Tiloca, et al. Expires December 20, 2020 [Page 15] Internet-Draft Key Management for OSCORE Groups in ACE June 2020 From then on, the joining node can exchange group messages secured with Group OSCORE as described in [I-D.ietf-core-oscore-groupcomm]. When doing so: o The joining node MUST NOT process an incoming request message, if signed by a group member whose public key is not associated to the role "Requester". o The joining node MUST NOT process an incoming response message, if signed by a group member whose public key is not associated to the role "Responder". If the application requires backward security, the Group Manager MUST generate updated security parameters and group keying material, and provide it to the current group members upon the new node's joining (see Section 16). As a consequence, the joining node is not able to access secure communication in the group occurred prior its joining. 5.5. ACE Groupcomm Policy for Group OSCORE Pairwise Mode Support This specifications defines the group policy "Group OSCORE Pairwise Mode Support", for which it registers an entry in the "ACE Groupcomm Policy" IANA Registry defined in Section 8.8 of [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm]. The corresponding element in the 'group_policies' parameter of the Joining Response (see Section 5.4) encodes the CBOR simple value True, if the OSCORE group supports the pairwise mode of Group OSCORE [I-D.ietf-core-oscore-groupcomm], or the CBOR simple value False otherwise (REQ14). 6. Public Keys of Joining Nodes Source authentication of a message sent within the group and protected with Group OSCORE is ensured by means of a digital counter signature embedded in the message (in group mode), or by integrity- protecting the message with pairwise keying material derived from the asymmetric keys of sender and recipient (in pairwise mode). Therefore, group members must be able to retrieve each other's public key from a trusted key repository, in order to verify source authenticity of incoming group messages. As also discussed in [I-D.ietf-core-oscore-groupcomm], the Group Manager acts as trusted repository of the public keys of the group members, and provides those public keys to group members if requested to. Upon joining an OSCORE group, a joining node is thus expected to provide its own public key to the Group Manager. Tiloca, et al. Expires December 20, 2020 [Page 16] Internet-Draft Key Management for OSCORE Groups in ACE June 2020 In particular, one of the following four cases can occur when a new node joins an OSCORE group. o The joining node is going to join the group exclusively as monitor. That is, it is not going to send messages to the group, and hence to produce signatures with its own private key. In this case, the joining node is not required to provide its own public key to the Group Manager, which thus does not have to perform any check related to the public key encoding, or to a countersignature algorithm and possible associated parameters for that joining node. In case that joining node still provides a public key in the 'client_cred' parameter of the Joining Request (see Section 5.2), the Group Manager silently ignores that parameter, as well as related the parameters 'cnonce' and 'client_cred_verify'. o The Group Manager already acquired the public key of the joining node during a past joining process. In this case, the joining node MAY choose not to provide again its own public key to the Group Manager, in order to limit the size of the Joining Request. The joining node MUST provide its own public key again if it has provided the Group Manager with multiple public keys during past joining processes, intended for different OSCORE groups. If the joining node provides its own public key, the Group Manager performs consistency checks as per Section 5.3 and, in case of success, considers it as the public key associated to the joining node in the OSCORE group. o The joining node and the Group Manager use an asymmetric proof-of- possession key to establish a secure communication channel. Then, two cases can occur. 1. The proof-of-possession key is compatible with the encoding as well as with the counter signature algorithm and possible associated parameters used in the OSCORE group. Then, the Group Manager considers the proof-of-possession key as the public key associated to the joining node in the OSCORE group. If the joining node is aware that the proof-of-possession key is also valid for the OSCORE group, it MAY not provide it again as its own public key to the Group Manager. The joining node MUST provide its own public key again if it has provided the Group Manager with multiple public keys during past joining processes, intended for different OSCORE groups. If the joining node provides its own public key in the 'client_cred' parameter of the Joining Request (see Section 5.2), the Group Manager performs consistency checks as per Section 5.3 and, in case of success, considers it as the public key associated to the joining node in the OSCORE group. Tiloca, et al. Expires December 20, 2020 [Page 17] Internet-Draft Key Management for OSCORE Groups in ACE June 2020 2. The proof-of-possession key is not compatible with the encoding or with the counter signature algorithm and possible associated parameters used in the OSCORE group. In this case, the joining node MUST provide a different compatible public key to the Group Manager in the 'client_cred' parameter of the Joining Request (see Section 5.2). Then, the Group Manager performs consistency checks on this latest provided public key as per Section 5.3 and, in case of success, considers it as the public key associated to the joining node in the OSCORE group. o The joining node and the Group Manager use a symmetric proof-of- possession key to establish a secure communication channel. In this case, upon performing a joining process with that Group Manager for the first time, the joining node specifies its own public key in the 'client_cred' parameter of the Joining Request targeting the group-membership endpoint (see Section 5.2). 7. Retrieval of Updated Keying Material At some point, a group member considers the OSCORE Security Context invalid and to be renewed. This happens, for instance, after a number of unsuccessful security processing of incoming messages from other group members, or when the Security Context expires as specified by the 'exp' parameter of the Joining Response. When this happens, the group member retrieves updated security parameters and group keying material. This can occur in the two different ways described below. 7.1. Retrieval of Group Keying Material If the group member wants to retrieve only the latest group keying material, it sends a Key Distribution Request to the Group Manager. In particular, it sends a CoAP GET request to the endpoint /group- oscore/GROUPNAME at the Group Manager. The Group Manager processes the Key Distribution Request according to Section 4.1.2.2 of [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm]. The Key Distribution Response is formatted as defined in Section 4.1.2.2 of [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm]. In particular, the 'key' parameter is formatted as defined in Section 5.4 of this specification, with the difference that it does not include the 'clientId' parameter. Upon receiving the Key Distribution Response, the group member retrieves the updated security parameters and group keying material, and, if they differ from the current ones, use them to set up the new Tiloca, et al. Expires December 20, 2020 [Page 18] Internet-Draft Key Management for OSCORE Groups in ACE June 2020 OSCORE Security Context as described in Section 2 of [I-D.ietf-core-oscore-groupcomm]. 7.2. Retrieval of Group Keying Material and Sender ID If the group member wants to retrieve the latest group keying material as well as the Sender ID that it has in the OSCORE group, it sends a Key Distribution Request to the Group Manager. In particular, it sends a CoAP GET request to the endpoint /group- oscore/GROUPNAME/nodes/NODENAME at the Group Manager. The Group Manager processes the Key Distribution Request according to Section 4.1.6.2 of [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm]. The Key Distribution Response is formatted as defined in Section 4.1.6.2 of [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm]. In particular, the 'key' parameter is formatted as defined in Section 5.4 of this specification, with the difference that if the requesting group member is configured exclusively as monitor, no 'clientId' is specified within the 'key' parameter. Note that, in any other case, the current Sender ID of the group member is not specified as a separate parameter, but rather specified as 'clientId' within the 'key' parameter. Upon receiving the Key Distribution Response, the group member retrieves the updated security parameters, group keying material and Sender ID, and, if they differ from the current ones, use them to set up the new OSCORE Security Context as described in Section 2 of [I-D.ietf-core-oscore-groupcomm]. 8. Retrieval of New Keying Material As discussed in Section 2.4.2 of [I-D.ietf-core-oscore-groupcomm], a group member may at some point exhaust its Sender Sequence Numbers in the group. When this happens, the group member MUST send a Key Renewal Request message to the Group Manager, as per Section 4.4 of [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm]. In particular, it sends a CoAP PUT request to the endpoint /group-oscore/GROUPNAME/nodes/NODENAME at the Group Manager. Upon receiving the Key Renewal Request, the Group Manager processes it as defined in Section 4.1.6.1 of [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm], and performs one of the following actions. Tiloca, et al. Expires December 20, 2020 [Page 19] Internet-Draft Key Management for OSCORE Groups in ACE June 2020 1. If the requesting group member is configured exclusively as monitor, the Group Manager replies with a 4.00 (Bad Request) error response. 2. Otherwise, depending on the configured policies (OPT8), the Group Manager takes one of the following actions. a. The Group Manager rekeys the OSCORE group. That is, the Group Manager generates new group keying material for that group (see Section 16), and replies to the group member with a group rekeying message as defined in Section 16, providing the new group keying material. Then, the Group Manager rekeys the rest of the OSCORE group, as discussed in Section 16. b. The Group Manager generates a new Sender ID for that group member and replies with a Key Renewal Response, formatted as defined in Section 4.1.6.1 of [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm]. In particular, the CBOR Map in the response payload includes a single parameter 'clientId' defined in Section 18.5 of this document, specifying the new Sender ID of the group member encoded as a CBOR byte string. 9. Retrieval of Public Keys of Group Members A group member or a signature verifier may need to retrieve the public keys of (other) group members. To this end, the group member or signature verifier sends a Public Key Request message to the Group Manager, as per Section 4.5 of [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm]. In particular, it sends the request to the endpoint /group- oscore/GROUPNAME/pub-key at the Group Manager. If the Public Key Request uses the method FETCH, the Public Key Request is formatted as defined in Section 4.1.3.1 of [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm]. In particular, each element of the 'get_pub_keys' parameter is a CBOR byte string, which encodes the Sender ID of the group member for which the associated public key is requested. Upon receiving the Public Key Request, the Group Manager processes it as per Section 4.1.3.1 or 4.1.3.2 of [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm], depending on the request method being FETCH or GET, respectively. Additionally, if the Public Key Request uses the method FETCH, the Group Manager silently ignores identifiers included in the 'get_pub_keys' parameter of the request that are not associated to any current group member. Tiloca, et al. Expires December 20, 2020 [Page 20] Internet-Draft Key Management for OSCORE Groups in ACE June 2020 The success Public Key Response is formatted as defined in Section 4.1.3.1 or 4.1.3.2 of [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm], depending on the request method being FETCH or GET, respectively. 10. Update of Public Key A group member may need to provide the Group Manager with its new public key to use in the group from then on, hence replacing the current one. This can be the case, for instance, if the countersignature algorithm and possible associated parameters used in the OSCORE group have been changed, and the current public key is not compatible with them. To this end, the group member sends a Public Key Update Request message to the Group Manager, as per Section 4.6 of [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm]. In particular, it sends a CoAP POST request to the endpoint /group-oscore/GROUPNAME/nodes/NODENAME/pub- key at the Group Manager. Upon receiving the Group Leaving Request, the Group Manager processes it as per Section 4.1.7.1 of [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm], with the following additions. o If the requesting group member is configured exclusively as monitor, the Group Manager replies with a 4.00 (Bad request) error response. o The N_S signature challenge is computed as per point (3) in Section 5.2.1 (REQ17). o If the request is successfully processed, the Group Manager stores the association between i) the new public key of the group member; and ii) the Group Identifier (Gid), i.e. the OSCORE ID Context, associated to the OSCORE group together with the OSCORE Sender ID assigned to the group member in the group. The Group Manager MUST keep this association updated over time. 11. Retrieval of Group Policies A group member may request the current policies used in the OSCORE group. To this end, the group member sends a Policies Request, as per Section 4.7 of [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm]. In particular, it sends a CoAP GET request to the endpoint /group-oscore/GROUPNAME/ policies at the Group Manager, where GROUPNAME is the name of the OSCORE group. Upon receiving the Policies Request, the Group Manager processes it as per Section 4.1.4.1 of [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm]. The success Tiloca, et al. Expires December 20, 2020 [Page 21] Internet-Draft Key Management for OSCORE Groups in ACE June 2020 Policies Response is formatted as defined in Section 4.1.4.1 of [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm]. 12. Retrieval of Keying Material Version A group member may request the current version of the keying material used in the OSCORE group. To this end, the group member sends a Version Request, as per Section 4.8 of [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm]. In particular, it sends a CoAP GET request to the endpoint /group- oscore/GROUPNAME/ctx-num at the Group Manager, where GROUPNAME is the name of the OSCORE group. Upon receiving the Version Request, the Group Manager processes it as per Section 4.1.5.1 of [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm]. The success Version Response is formatted as defined in Section 4.1.5.1 of [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm]. 13. Retrieval of Group Status A group member may request the current status of the the OSCORE group, i.e. active or inactive. To this end, the group member sends a Group Status Request to the Group Manager. In particular, the group member sends a CoAP GET request to the endpoint /group-oscore/GROUPNAME/active at the Group Manager defined in Section 4 of this specification, where GROUPNAME is the name of the OSCORE group. The success Group Version Response is formatted as defined in Section 4 of this specification. Upon learning from a 2.05 (Content) response that the group is currently inactive, the group member SHOULD stop taking part in communications within the group, until it becomes active again. Upon learning from a 2.05 (Content) response that the group has become active again, the group member can resume taking part in communications within the group. Figure 2 gives an overview of the exchange described above. Group Group Member Manager | | |------ Group Status Request: GET ace-group/GID/active ------>| | | |<---------- Group Status Response: 2.05 (Content) -----------| | | Figure 2: Message Flow of Group Status Request-Response Tiloca, et al. Expires December 20, 2020 [Page 22] Internet-Draft Key Management for OSCORE Groups in ACE June 2020 14. Request to Leave the Group A group member may request to leave the OSCORE group. To this end, the group member sends a Group Leaving Request, as per Section 4.9 of [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm]. In particular, it sends a CoAP DELETE request to the endpoint /group-oscore/GROUPNAME/nodes/NODENAME at the Group Manager. Upon receiving the Group Leaving Request, the Group Manager processes it as per Section 4.1.6.3 of [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm]. 15. Removal of a Group Member Other than after a spontaneous request to the Group Manager as described in Section 14, a node may be forcibly removed from the OSCORE group, e.g. due to expired or revoked authorization. If, upon joining the group (see Section 5.2), the leaving node specified a URI in the 'control_path' parameter defined in Section 4.1.2.1 of [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm], the Group Manager MUST inform the leaving node of its eviction, by sending a DELETE request targeting the URI specified in the 'control_path' parameter (OPT9). If the leaving node is not configured exclusively as monitor, the Group Manager performs the following actions. o The Group Manager frees the OSCORE Sender ID value of the leaving node, which becomes available for possible upcoming joining nodes. o The Group Manager cancels the association between, on one hand, the public key of the leaving node and, on the other hand, the Group Identifier (Gid) associated to the OSCORE group together with the freed OSCORE Sender ID value. The Group Manager deletes the public key of the leaving node, if that public key has no remaining association with any pair (Gid, Sender ID). If the application requires forward security, the Group Manager MUST generate updated security parameters and group keying material, and provide it to the remaining group members (see Section 16). As a consequence, the leaving node is not able to acquire the new security parameters and group keying material distributed after its leaving. Same considerations in Section 5 of [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm] apply here as well, considering the Group Manager acting as KDC. Tiloca, et al. Expires December 20, 2020 [Page 23] Internet-Draft Key Management for OSCORE Groups in ACE June 2020 16. Group Rekeying Process In order to rekey the OSCORE group, the Group Manager distributes a new Group Identifier (Gid), i.e. a new OSCORE ID Context; a new OSCORE Master Secret; and, optionally, a new OSCORE Master Salt for that group. When doing so, the Group Manager MUST increment the version number of the group keying material, before starting its distribution. Furthermore, the Group Manager MUST preserve the same unchanged Sender IDs for all group members. This avoids affecting the retrieval of public keys from the Group Manager as well as the verification of message countersignatures. The Group Manager MUST support at least the following group rekeying scheme. Future application profiles may define alternative message formats and distribution schemes. As group rekeying message, the Group Manager uses the same format of the Joining Response message in Section 5.4. In particular: o Only the parameters 'gkty', 'key', 'num', 'ace-groupcomm-profile' and 'exp' are present. o The 'ms' parameter of the 'key' parameter specifies the new OSCORE Master Secret value. o The 'contextId' parameter of the 'key' parameter specifies the new Group ID. The Group Manager separately sends a group rekeying message to each group member to be rekeyed. Each rekeying message MUST be secured with the pairwise secure communication channel between the Group Manager and the group member used during the joining process. In particular, each rekeying message can target the 'control_path' URI path defined in Section 4.1.2.1 of [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm] (OPT9), if provided by the intended recipient upon joining the group (see Section 5.2). It is RECOMMENDED that the Group Manager gets confirmation of successful distribution from the group members, and admits a maximum number of individual retransmissions to non-confirming group members. This approach requires group members to act (also) as servers, in order to correctly handle unsolicited group rekeying messages from the Group Manager. In particular, if a group member and the Group Manager use OSCORE [RFC8613] to secure their pairwise communications, Tiloca, et al. Expires December 20, 2020 [Page 24] Internet-Draft Key Management for OSCORE Groups in ACE June 2020 the group member MUST create a Replay Window in its own Recipient Context upon establishing the OSCORE Security Context with the Group Manager, e.g. by means of the OSCORE profile of ACE [I-D.ietf-ace-oscore-profile]. Group members and the Group Manager SHOULD additionally support alternative rekeying approaches that do not require group members to act (also) as servers. A number of such approaches are defined in Section 4.3 of [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm]. In particular, a group member may subscribe for updates to the group-membership resource of the group, at the endpoint /group-oscore/GROUPNAME/nodes/NODENAME of the Group Manager. This can rely on CoAP Observe [RFC7641] or on a full-fledged Pub-Sub model [I-D.ietf-core-coap-pubsub] with the Group Manager acting as Broker. In case the rekeying terminates and some group members have not received the new keying material, they will not be able to correctly process following secured messages exchanged in the group. These group members will eventually contact the Group Manager, in order to retrieve the current keying material and its version. Some of these group members may be in multiple groups, each associated to a different Group Manager. When failing to correctly process messages secured with the new keying material, these group members may not have sufficient information to determine which exact Group Manager they should contact, in order to retrieve the current keying material they are missing. If the Gid is formatted as described in Appendix C of [I-D.ietf-core-oscore-groupcomm], the Group Prefix can be used as a hint to determine the right Group Manager, as long as no collisions among Group Prefixes are experienced. Otherwise, a group member needs to contact the Group Manager of each group, e.g. by first requesting only the version of the current group keying material (see Section 12) and then possibly requesting the current keying material (see Section 7.1). Furthermore, some of these group members can be in multiple groups, all of which associated to the same Group Manager. In this case, these group members may also not have sufficient information to determine which exact group they should refer to, when contacting the right Group Manager. Hence, they need to contact a Group Manager multiple times, i.e. separately for each group they belong to and associated to that Group Manager. Tiloca, et al. Expires December 20, 2020 [Page 25] Internet-Draft Key Management for OSCORE Groups in ACE June 2020 17. Security Considerations Security considerations for this profile are inherited from [I-D.ietf-ace-key-groupcomm], the ACE framework for Authentication and Authorization [I-D.ietf-ace-oauth-authz], and the specific transport profile of ACE signalled by the AS, such as [I-D.ietf-ace-dtls-authorize] and [I-D.ietf-ace-oscore-profile]. The following security considerations also apply for this profile. 17.1. Management of OSCORE Groups This profile leverages the following management aspects related to OSCORE groups and discussed in the sections of [I-D.ietf-core-oscore-groupcomm] referred below. o Management of group keying material (see Section 3.1 of [I-D.ietf-core-oscore-groupcomm]). The Group Manager is responsible for the renewal and re-distribution of the keying material in the groups of its competence (rekeying). According to the specific application requirements, this can include rekeying the group upon changes in its membership. In particular, renewing the group keying material is required upon a new node's joining or a current node's leaving, in case backward security and forward security have to be preserved, respectively. o Provisioning and retrieval of public keys (see Section 2 of [I-D.ietf-core-oscore-groupcomm]). The Group Manager acts as key repository of public keys of group members, and provides them upon request. o Synchronization of sequence numbers (see Section 6.1 of [I-D.ietf-core-oscore-groupcomm]). This concerns how a responder node that has just joined an OSCORE group can synchronize with the sequence number of requesters in the same group. Before sending the Joining Response, the Group Manager MUST verify that the joining node actually owns the associated private key. To this end, the Group Manager can rely on the proof-of-possession challenge-response defined in Section 5. Alternatively, the joining node can use its own public key as asymmetric proof-of-possession key to establish a secure channel with the Group Manager, e.g. as in Section 3.2 of [I-D.ietf-ace-dtls-authorize]. However, this requires such proof-of-possession key to be compatible with the encoding as well as with the countersignature algorithm and possible associated parameters used in the OSCORE group. Tiloca, et al. Expires December 20, 2020 [Page 26] Internet-Draft Key Management for OSCORE Groups in ACE June 2020 A node may have joined multiple OSCORE groups under different non- synchronized Group Managers. Therefore, it can happen that those OSCORE groups have the same Group Identifier (Gid). It follows that, upon receiving a Group OSCORE message addressed to one of those groups, the node would have multiple Security Contexts matching with the Gid in the incoming message. It is up to the application to decide how to handle such collisions of Group Identifiers, e.g. by trying to process the incoming message using one Security Context at the time until the right one is found. 17.2. Size of Nonces for Signature Challenge With reference to the Joining Request message in Section 5.2, the proof-of-possession signature included in 'client_cred_verify' is computed over the challenge N_C | N_S, where | denotes concatenation. For the N_C challenge share, it is RECOMMENDED to use a 8-byte long random nonce. Furthermore, N_C is always conveyed in the 'cnonce' parameter of the Joining Request, which is always sent over the secure communication channel between the joining node and the Group Manager. As defined in Section 5.2.1, the way the N_S value is computed depends on the particular way the joining node provides the Group Manager with the Access Token, as well as on following interactions between the two. o If the Access Token is not explicitly posted to the /authz-info endpoint of the Group Manager, then N_S is computed as a 32-byte long challenge share (see points 2 of Section 5.2.1). o If the Access Token has been explicitly posted to the /authz-info endpoint of the Group Manager, N_S takes the most recent value specified to the client by the Group Manager in the 'kdcchallenge' parameter (see point 1 of Section 5.2.1). This is specified either in the 2.01 response to the Token Post (see Section 5.1), or in a 4.00 response to a following Joining Request (see Section 5.3). In either case, it is RECOMMENDED to use a 8-byte long random challenge as value for N_S. If we consider both N_C and N_S to take 8-byte long values, the following considerations hold. o Let us consider both N_C and N_S as taking random values, and the Group Manager to never change the value of the N_S provided to a Client during the lifetime of an Access Token. Then, as per the birthday paradox, the average collision for N_S will happen after 2^32 new posted Access Tokens, while the average collision for N_C Tiloca, et al. Expires December 20, 2020 [Page 27] Internet-Draft Key Management for OSCORE Groups in ACE June 2020 will happen after 2^32 new Joining Requests. This amounts to considerably more token provisionings than the expected new joinings of OSCORE groups under a same Group Manager, as well as to considerably more requests to join OSCORE groups from a same Client using a same Access Token under a same Group Manager. o Section 7 of [I-D.ietf-ace-oscore-profile] as well Appendix B.2 of [RFC8613] recommend the use of 8-byte random values as well. Unlike in those cases, the values of N_C and N_S considered in this specification are not used for as sensitive operations as the derivation of a Security Context, with possible implications in the security of AEAD ciphers. 17.3. Reusage of Nonces for Signature Challenge As long as the Group Manager preserves the same N_S value currently associated to an Access Token, i.e. the latest value provided to a Client in a 'kdcchallenge' parameter, the Client is able to successfully reuse the same signature challenge for multiple Joining Requests to that Group Manager. In particular, the client can reuse the same N_C value for every Joining Request to the Group Manager, and combine it with the same unchanged N_S value. This results in reusing the same signature challenge for producing the signature to include in the 'client_cred_verify' parameter of the Joining Requests. Unless the Group Manager maintains a list of N_C values already used by that Client since the latest update to the N_S value associated to the Access Token, the Group Manager can be forced to falsely believe that the Client possesses its own private key at that point in time, upon verifying the signature in the 'client_cred_verify' parameter. 18.
