Introduction This document describes the use of the SEED [RFC4269] block cipher algorithm in the Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP) [RFC3711] for providing confidentiality for the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) [RFC3550] traffic and for the control traffic for RTP, the Real-time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP) [RFC3550]. 1.1. SEED SEED is a Korean National Industrial Association standard and is widely used in South Korea for electronic commerce and financial services that are operated on wired and wireless communications. SEED is a 128-bit symmetric key block cipher that has been developed by KISA (Korea Information Security Agency) and a group of experts since 1998. The input/output block size of SEED is 128-bit and the key length is also 128-bit. SEED has a 16-round Feistel structure. 1.2. Terminology 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 [RFC2119]. 1.3. Definitions || concatenation XOR exclusive or Yoon, et al. Expires December 15, 2009 [Page 3] Internet-Draft SEED-SRTP June 15, 2009 2. Cryptographic Transforms All symmetric block cipher algorithms share common characteristics including mode, key size, weak keys, and block size. The following sections contain descriptions of the relevant characteristics of SEED. SEED does not have any restrictions for modes of operation that are used with this block cipher. We define three modes of running SEED, (1) SEED in Counter Mode, (2) SEED in Counter with CBC-MAC (CCM) Mode and (3) SEED in Galois/Counter Mode (GCM) Mode. 2.1. Counter Section 4.1.1 of [RFC3711] defines AES counter mode encryption, which it refers to as AES-CM. SEED counter mode is defined in a similar manner, and is denoted as SEED-CTR. The plaintext inputs to the block cipher are formed as in AES-CM, and the block cipher outputs are processed as in AES-CM. The only difference in the processing is that SEED-CTR uses SEED as the underlying encryption primitive. When SEED- CTR is used, it MUST be used only in conjunction with an authentication function. 2.1.1. Message Authentication/Integrity: HMAC-SHA1 HMAC-SHA1 [RFC2104], as defined in section 4.2.1 of [RFC3711], SHALL be the default message authentication code to be used with SEED-CTR. The default session authentication key-length SHALL be 160 bits, the default authentication tag length SHALL be 80 bits, and the SRTP_PREFIX_LENGTH SHALL be zero for HMAC-SHA1. For SRTP, smaller values are NOT RECOMMENDED, but MAY be used after careful consideration of the issues in section 7.5 and 9.5 of [RFC3711]. 2.2. Counter with CBC-MAC (CCM) CCM is a generic authenticate-and-encrypt block cipher mode [RFC3610]. In this specification, CCM used with the SEED block cipher is denoted as SEED-CCM. Section 3.3 of [RFC3711] defines procedures to construct or to authenticate and decrypt SRTP packets. For SEED-CCM however, the sender performs Step 7 before Step 5 and the receiver performs the second half of Step 5 (performs verification) after Step 6. This means that authentication is performed on the plaintext rather than the ciphertext. This applies equally to SRTCP. All SRTP packets MUST be authenticated and encrypted. Unlike SRTP, SRTCP packet encryption is optional (but authentication is Yoon, et al. Expires December 15, 2009 [Page 4] Internet-Draft SEED-SRTP June 15, 2009 mandatory). A sender can select which packets to encrypt, and indicates this choice with a 1-bit encryption flag (located in the leftmost bit of the 32-bit word that contains the SRTCP index). SEED-CCM has two parameters: M M indicates the size of the authentication tag. In SRTP, a full 80-bit authentication-tag SHOULD be used and implementation of this specification MUST support M values of 10 octets. L L indicates the size of the length field in octets. The number of octets in the nonce MUST be 12, i.e., L is 3. SEED-CCM has four inputs: Key A single key is used to calculate the authentication tag using CBC-MAC and to perform payload encryption using counter mode. SEED only supports a key size of 128 bits. Nonce The size of the nonce depends on the value selected for the parameter L. It is 15-L octets. L equals 3 and hence the nonce size equals 12 octets. Plaintext In case of SRTP, the payload of the RTP packet and the RTP padding and RTP pad count field (if the latter two fields are present). In case of SRTCP, when the encryption flag is set to 1, the Encrypted Portion described in Fig.2 of [RFC3711] is treated as plaintext. When the encryption flag is set to 0, the plaintext is zero-length. Yoon, et al. Expires December 15, 2009 [Page 5] Internet-Draft SEED-SRTP June 15, 2009 Additional Authentication Data (AAD) In case of SRTP, the header of the RTP packet including contributing source (CSRC) identifier (if present) and the RTP header extension (if present). In case of SRTCP, when the encryption flag is set to 0, the Authentication Portion described in Fig.2 of [RFC3711] is treated as AAD. When the encryption flag is set to 1, the first 8-octets, the encryption flag and SRTCP index are treated as AAD. SEED-CCM accepts these four inputs and returns a ciphertext field. 2.3. Galois/Counter Mode (GCM) GCM is a block cipher mode of operation providing both confidentiality and data origin authentication [GCM]. GCM used with the SEED block cipher is denoted as SEED-GCM. SEED-GCM has four inputs: a key, a plaintext, a nonce and the additional authenticated data (AAD) all described in section 2.2. The bit length of the tag, denoted t, is 12, and an authentication tag with a length of 12 octets (96 bits) is used. 3. Nonce Format for CCM and GCM 3.1. Nonce for SRTP The nonce for SRTP SHALL be formed in the following way: Nonce = (16 bits of zeroes || SSRC || ROC || SEQ) XOR Salt The 4-octet SSRC and the 2-octet SEQ SHALL be taken from the RTP header. The 4-octet ROC is from the cryptographic context. The 12- octet Salt SHALL be produced by the SRTP Key Derivation Function. 3.2. Nonce for SRTCP The nonce for SRTCP SHALL be formed in the following way: Nonce = (16 bits of zeroes || SSRC || 16 bits of zeroes || SRTCP index) XOR Salt The 4-octet SSRC SHALL be taken from the RTCP header and The 31-bit SRTCP index (packed zero-filled, right justified into a 4-octet Yoon, et al. Expires December 15, 2009 [Page 6] Internet-Draft SEED-SRTP June 15, 2009 field) is from each packet. The 12-octet Salt SHALL be produced by the SRTP Key Derivation Function. 4. Key Derivation: SEED-CTR PRF Section 4.3.3 of [RFC3711] defines the AES-128 counter mode key derivation function, which it refers to as "AES-CM PRF". The SEED-CTR PRF is defined in a similar manner, but with each invocation of AES replaced with an invocation of SEED. The currently defined PRF, keyed by the 128-bit master key, has input block size m = 128 and can produce n-bit outputs for n up to 2^23. SEED-PRF_n(k_master, x) SHALL be SEED in Counter Mode as described in section 2.1, applied to key k_master, and IV equal to (x*2^16), and with the output keystream truncated to the n first (left-most) bits. 5. Mandatory-to-implement Transforms "Mandatory-to-implement" means conformance to the specification, and that Table 1 does not supersede a similar table in Section 5 of [RFC3711]. An RTP implementation that supports SEED MUST implement the modes listed in Table 1. mandatory-to-implement optional encryption SEED-CTR SEED-CCM,SEED-GCM message integrity HMAC-SHA1 SEED-CCM,SEED-GCM key derivation (PRF) SEED-CTR - Table 1: Mandatory-to-implement and optional transforms in SRTP and SRTCP. 6. Security Considerations No security problem has been found on SEED. SEED is secure against all known attacks including Differential cryptanalysis, linear cryptanalysis, and related key attacks. The best known attack is only an exhaustive search for the key. For further security considerations, the reader is encouraged to read [SEED-EVAL]. See [RFC3610] and [GCM] for security considerations regarding the CCM and GCM Modes of Operation, respectively. In the context of SRTP, the procedures in [RFC3711] ensure the critical property of non-reuse of counter values. Yoon, et al. Expires December 15, 2009 [Page 7] Internet-Draft SEED-SRTP June 15, 2009 7. IANA Considerations [RFC4568] defines SRTP "crypto suites". In order to allow SDP to signal the use of the algorithms defined in this document, IANA will register the following crypto suites into the subregistry for SRTP crypto suites under the SRTP transport of the SDP Security Descriptions: srtp-crypto-suite-ext = "SEED_CTR_128_HMAC_SHA1_80"/ "SEED_128_CCM_80"/ "SEED_128_GCM_96"/ srtp-crypto-suite-ext 8.
