Abstract
RC4 is extremely weak as shown by RFC 6649 and RFC 7457, is
prohibited in TLS by RFC 7465, is prohibited in Kerberos by RFC xxxx
and it needs to be prohibited in all IETF protocols. Documents that
provide technology that can only use RC4 are obsoleted by this
document, so this document obsoletes and moves to Historic RFC 3078
"Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption (MPPE) Protocol" (only supports
RC4, RFC 3079 that is also part of that protocol is also obsoleted),
RFC 4345 "Improved Arcfour Modes for the Secure Shell (SSH) Transport
Layer Protocol" (note Arcfour and RC4 are synonymous), RFC 4757 "The
RC4-HMAC Kerberos Encryption Types Used by Microsoft Windows" (only
supports RC4) and RFC 6229 "Test Vectors for the Stream Cipher RC4"
(provides test vectors for historic cryptography). RFC 2118,
RFC 3501, RFC 3961, RFC 4120, RFC 4253, RFC 6150, RFC 6649, RFC 6733,
RFC 7457, RFC 7905 and RFC xxxx are updated to note the deprecation
of RC4 in all IETF protocols. (Please do not confuse RFC 4757 with
RFC 7457.)

1. Introduction
RC4 is extremely weak [RFC6649, RFC7457, RFCxxxx] and this document
deprecates its use in all IETF protocols, including Kerberos and
Secure Shell (SSH). The reasons for obsoleting RFC 3078, RFC 3079,
RFC 4345 and RFC 4757 and moving them to Historic are discussed in
Section 2. The updates to RFC 2118, RFC 3501, RFC 3961, RFC 4120,
RFC 4253, RFC 6150, RFC 6649, RFC 6733, RFC 7457, RFC 7905 and
RFC xxxx and the reasons for doing them are specified in sections 3,
4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14, respectively. The status of
Camara Expires January 4, 2018 [Page 2]
Internet-Draft Deprecating RC4 in all Protocols July 2017
the updated RFCs as of the writing of this document is available in
Appendix A.
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 [RFC2119, RFC8174].
2. Why obsolete those RFCs and move them to Historic
RFC 3078 is no longer used by supported Microsoft Windows versions
and is moved to Historic and obsoleted by this document as it only
supports RC4 for encryption. RFC 2118 is updated to note the
moving of RFC 3078 (that updated RFC 2118) to Historic and its
obsoleting. RFC 3079, that is effectively part of RFC 3078, is also
moved to Historic as it only supports RC4 for encryption.
RFC 4345 defines the "arcfour-128" and "arcfour-256" modes for Secure
Shell (SSH), and is moved to Historic as RC4 is extremely
weak [RFC6649, RFC7457, RFCxxxx] and there is research that is at
least 5 years old that totally breaks all practical usage of
RC4 [RFC6649].
RFC 4757 is obsoleted and moved to Historic as it is no longer used
by supported Microsoft Windows versions (support for Windows XP ended
8 April 2014, any unofficial support for officially unsupported
Microsoft Windows versions will certainly remove RC4) and specifies
RC4-HMAC as used by Microsoft Windows in Kerberos, that should have
been obsoleted, not updated, by RFC 6649. RFC xxxx also obsoletes
RFC 4757. Additionally, MD4 is extremely weak and not
one-way [RFC6150] and this is another reason to move RFC 4757 to
Historic, as well as the myriads of other reasons specified
in [RFC6150].
RFC 6229 provides test vectors for RC4 and is obsoleted and moved to
Historic by this document as RC4 is deprecated in all IETF protocols.
3. Updates to RFC 2118
RFC 2118 is updated to note the obsoleting of RFC 3078 and the
moving of RFC 3078 to Historic (see Section 2).
4. Updates to RFC 3501
In Section 11.1 of [RFC3501], it is stated that:
"""
IMAP client and server implementations MUST implement the
TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5 {TLS} cipher suite, and SHOULD implement the
TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA {TLS} cipher suite. This is
important as it assures that any two compliant implementations can be
Camara Expires January 4, 2018 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft Deprecating RC4 in all Protocols July 2017
configured to interoperate. All other cipher suites are OPTIONAL.
Note that this is a change from section 2.1 of {IMAP_TLS}.
"""
[[References were replaced with curly braces to avoid nits. When
publishing, revert back to references.]]
The above paragraph of [RFC3501] required that implementations of
IMAP clients and servers implement a RC4 cipher suite in TLS
(contradicts [RFC7465]) and recommends implementing a weak cipher
suite (DSA is not recommended by some sources and 3DES is used in
the suite). Unfortunately, at the time of writing of RFC 3501,
AES cipher suites were extremely new (the first AES cipher suites
were defined in RFC 3268, published in June 2002), less than 1 year
old and the strongest choice they have come up with at the time was
TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA.
As the document is over 14 years old, the above paragraph of [RFC3501]
is replaced with the following paragraph:
"""
IMAP client and server implementations were formerly required to
implement TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5 {TLS}, an extremely weak cipher
suite [RFC6151, RFC6649, RFC7457, RFCxxxx, RFCyyyy] that TLS clients
MUST NOT implement per [RFC7465]. Compatibility requirements were
removed in the grounds of security, and all clients and servers
SHOULD implement TLS 1.2 {TLS} and the
TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 {TLS} cipher suite.
"""
The TLS reference in [RFC3501] should be replaced with a reference to
RFC 5246, and references to RFC 6151, RFC 6649, RFC 7457, RFC 7465,
RFC xxxx and this document (as RFC yyyy) should be added.
5. Updates to RFC 3961
RFC 3961 is updated to note the deprecation of rc4-hmac and
rc4-hmac-exp (referred to in Section 8 of [RFC3961]). rc4-hmac is
NOT RECOMMENDED by [RFCxxxx] and rc4-hmac-exp is NOT RECOMMENDED
by [RFC6649].
6. Updates to RFC 4120
RFC 4120 is updated to note the deprecation of rc4-hmac and
rc4-hmac-exp.
7. Updates to RFC 4253
RFC 4253 is updated to note the deprecation of arcfour and 3des-cbc.
Camara Expires January 4, 2018 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft Deprecating RC4 in all Protocols July 2017
This document changes "OPTIONAL" to "NOT RECOMMENDED" for arcfour and
"REQUIRED" to "OPTIONAL" for 3des-cbc in the table of
Section 6.3 of [RFC4253] as 3DES is weak and maintaining the
requirement will compromise systems. [RFC4253] was published in 2006,
11 years ago, and states that """At some future time, it is expected
that another algorithm, one with better strength, will become so
prevalent and ubiquitous that the use of "3des-cbc" will be
deprecated by another STANDARDS ACTION."""
The "future time" referred to by [RFC4253] is set to 2017, the
"STANDARDS ACTION" is set to the publication of this document and
the "algorithm" is set to the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), as
AES is ubiquitous in Kerberos implementations (see Section 11).
The paragraph on RC4 (called "arcfour" in [RFC4253]) in
Section 6.3 of [RFC4253] currently reads:
"""
The "arcfour" cipher is the Arcfour stream cipher with 128-bit keys.
The Arcfour cipher is believed to be compatible with the RC4 cipher
[SCHNEIER]. Arcfour (and RC4) has problems with weak keys, and
should be used with caution.
"""
It should read:
"""
The "arcfour" cipher is the Arcfour stream cipher with 128-bit keys.
The Arcfour cipher is believed to be compatible with the RC4 cipher
[SCHNEIER]. Arcfour (and RC4) are extremely weak [RFC6649, RFC7457,
RFCxxxx, RFCyyyy] and therefore their use is NOT RECOMMENDED.
"""
References to RFC 6649, RFC 7457, RFC xxxx and this document (the
reference to this document is RFCyyyy in the above paragraph) should
be added to Section 6.3 of [RFC4253].
8. Updates to RFC 6150
RFC 6150 moves MD4 to Historic. Note the RFC contains a typo: "MD2"
should be "MD4". RFC 6150 references RFC 4757, obsoleted by this
document, as using MD4. The expression "with the one exception of
Microsoft's use of MD4 as part of RC4-HMAC in Windows,", as well as
all expressions indicating algorithms using RC4 are a problem to the
deprecation of MD4, should be removed from Section 4 of [RFC6150].
9. Updates to RFC 6649
RFC 6649, also known as BCP 179, deprecates DES, RC4-HMAC-EXP and
other weak cryptography in Kerberos. It is updated to note the
deprecation of rc4-hmac and the deprecation of RC4 in all IETF
protocols.
Camara Expires January 4, 2018 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft Deprecating RC4 in all Protocols July 2017
The security considerations of [RFC6649] (Section 6 of [RFC6649])
read, in their last paragraph:
"""
The security considerations of [RFC4757] continue to apply to
RC4-HMAC, including the known weaknesses of RC4 and MD4, and this
document does not change the Informational status of [RFC4757] for
now. The main reason to not actively discourage the use of RC4-HMAC
is that it is the only encryption type that interoperates with older
versions of Microsoft Windows once DES and RC4-HMAC-EXP are removed.
These older versions of Microsoft Windows will likely be in use until
at least 2015.
"""
This is updated to note that Windows XP is without official support
for 3 years (support for Windows XP ended 8 April 2014).
An important quote from [RFC6649] (Section 6 of [RFC6649]):
"""
Removing support for single DES improves security because DES is
considered to be insecure. RC4-HMAC-EXP has a similarly inadequate
key size, so removing support for it also improves security.
"""
10. Updates to RFC 6733
Section 13.1. of [RFC6733] currently reads:
"""
Diameter nodes MUST be able to negotiate the following TLS/TCP and
DTLS/SCTP cipher suites:
TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5
TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA
TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA
Diameter nodes SHOULD be able to negotiate the following TLS/TCP and
DTLS/SCTP cipher suite:
TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA
Note that it is quite possible that support for the
TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA cipher suite will be REQUIRED at some
future date. Diameter nodes MAY negotiate other TLS/TCP and DTLS/
SCTP cipher suites.
"""
The above paragraphs required that clients implement two RC4 cipher
suites and a 3DES cipher suite (but recommends implementing an AES
cipher suite).
Camara Expires January 4, 2018 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft Deprecating RC4 in all Protocols July 2017
RFC 6733 was published in October 2012, and the above paragraphs
of [RFC6733] are to be replaced with:
"""
Diameter nodes were formerly required to implement insecure RC4
cipher suites and weak 3DES cipher suites. RC4 MUST NOT be used
because it is prohibited by RFC 7465.
Diameter nodes MUST support at least one of the following cipher
suites:
TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256
TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256
TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA
TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA
TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA was not chosen to be absolutely required
as Diameter nodes may require all connections to use forward secrecy
by only implementing cipher suites with forward secrecy.
TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA is not a forward secrecy cipher suite
because all connections can be decrypted once the private RSA key is
known by an attacker.
"""
Several choices were given because of patent concerns with Elliptic
Curve Cryptography (ECC) and problems of older implementations with
ECC and GCM cipher suites.
11. Updates to RFC 7457
RFC 7457, an Informational RFC describing attacks against Transport
Layer Security (TLS) and Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS), is
updated to note the deprecation of RC4 in all IETF protocols.
12. Updates to RFC 7465
RFC 7465 prohibits RC4 cipher suites in Transport Layer Security
(TLS) and is updated to note the deprecation of RC4 in all IETF
protocols.
13. Updates to RFC 7905
RFC 7905, describing the ChaCha20-Poly1305 stream cipher to replace
RC4 in Transport Layer Security (TLS), is updated to note the
deprecation of RC4 in all IETF protocols, including TLS. [RFC7465],
Camara Expires January 4, 2018 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft Deprecating RC4 in all Protocols July 2017
that prohibited RC4 cipher suites, did not update RFC 7905, so this
document will do so.
14. Updates to RFC xxxx
RFC xxxx deprecates 3DES and RC4 in Kerberos, obsoletes RFC 4757 and
updates RFC 3961, and is updated by this document to note the
moving of RC4 RFCs (RFC 4345 and RFC 6229) and Microsoft technology
dependent on RC4 (RFC 3078 and RFC 4757).
An important quote from [RFCxxxx] (Section 5.4 of [RFCxxxx]):
"""
Fortuntately, modern (i.e., supported) Kerberos implementations
support a secure alternative to RC4, in the form of AES. Windows has
supported AES since 2007-2008 with the release of Windows Vista and
Server 2008, respectively; MIT Kerberos [MITKRB5] has fully supported
AES (including the GSSAPI mechanism) since 2004 with the release of
version 1.3.2; Heimdal [HEIMDAL] has fully supported AES since 2005
with the release of version 0.7. Though there may still be issues
running ten-year-old unsupported software in mixed environments with
new software, issues of that sort seem unlikely to be unique to
Kerberos, and the aministrators of such environments are expected to
be capable of devising workarounds.
"""
(note the quote contains typos: "Fortuntately" and "aministrators")
15. Action to be taken
RC4 MUST NOT be used in new implementations of IETF protocols, and
RC4 MUST be eliminated as fast as possible from the existing Internet
infrastructure, as RC4 is extremely weak [RFC6649, RFC7457, RFCxxxx].
New RFCs MAY use the phrase "RC4 is extremely weak [RFC6649, RFC7457,
RFCxxxx]" with references to RFC 6649, RFC 7457 and RFC xxxx. Whether
the references to these documents is normative or informative is
determined by BCP 9 and BCP 97, whose relevant documents for this
purpose are RFC 2026, RFC 3967, RFC 4897, RFC 6410 and RFC 8067.
Microsoft Corporation SHOULD take action to eradicate RC4 in all
its software and systems.
New IETF protocols MUST NOT allow RC4, and new versions of existing
IETF protocols MUST either not allow RC4 or recommend not to use RC4
(for example, using "NOT RECOMMENDED" or "SHOULD NOT").
16. IANA Considerations
IANA may need to take action as the status for RC4 and 3DES
algorithms for Secure Shell (SSH) is changed by this document
(see Section 6, that updates [RFC4253]).

several attacks that render it useless have been published [RFC6649].
