1. Introduction
This document provides guidance on the use of external Pre-Shared
Keys (PSKs) in Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.3 [RFC8446]. This
guidance also applies to Datagram TLS (DTLS) 1.3
[I-D.ietf-tls-dtls13] and Compact TLS 1.3 [I-D.ietf-tls-ctls]. For
readability, this document uses the term TLS to refer to all such
versions. External PSKs are symmetric secret keys provided to the

Internet-Draft Guidance for External PSK Usage in TLS October 2021
TLS protocol implementation as external inputs. External PSKs are
provisioned out-of-band. This document lists TLS security properties
provided by PSKs under certain assumptions and demonstrates how
violations of these assumptions lead to attacks. This document
discusses PSK use cases, provisioning processes, and TLS stack
implementation support in the context of these assumptions. This
document also provides advice for applications in various use cases
to help meet these assumptions.
There are many resources that provide guidance for password
generation and verification aimed towards improving security.
However, there is no such equivalent for external Pre-Shared Keys
(PSKs) in TLS. This document aims to reduce that gap.
2. Conventions and Definitions
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.
3. Notation
For purposes of this document, a "logical node" is a computing
presence that other parties can interact with via the TLS protocol.
A logical node could potentially be realized with multiple physical
instances operating under common administrative control, e.g., a
server farm. An "endpoint" is a client or server participating in a
connection.
4. PSK Security Properties
When using external PSK authentication, the use of previously
established PSKs allows TLS endpoints to authenticate the endpoint
identities. However, these keys do not provide privacy protection of
endpoint identities (see Section 5), nor do they provide non-
repudiation (one endpoint in a connection can deny the conversation).
PSK authentication security implicitly assumes one fundamental
property: each PSK is known to exactly one client and one server, and
that these never switch roles. If this assumption is violated, then
the security properties of TLS are severely weakened as discussed
below.
Housley, et al. Expires 16 April 2022 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft Guidance for External PSK Usage in TLS October 2021
4.1. Shared PSKs
As discussed in Section 6, there are use cases where it is desirable
for multiple clients or multiple servers to share a PSK. If this is
done naively by having all members share a common key, then TLS
authenticates only group membership, and the security of the overall
system is inherently rather brittle. There are a number of obvious
weaknesses here:
1. Any group member can impersonate any other group member.
2. If PSK is combined with DH, then compromise of a group member
that knows the resulting DH shared secret will enable the
attacker to read (and modify) traffic.
3. If PSK is not combined with DH, then compromise of any group
member allows the attacker to passively read (and actively
modify) all traffic.
Additionally, a malicious non-member can reroute handshakes between
honest group members to connect them in unintended ways, as described
below. Note that a partial mitigiation against this class of attack
is available: each group member includes the SNI extension [RFC6066]
and terminates the connection on mismatch between the presented SNI
value and the receiving member's known identity. See [Selfie] for
details.
To illustrate the rerouting attack, consider the group of peers who
know the PSK be A, B, and C. The attack proceeds as follows:
1. A sends a ClientHello to B.
2. The attacker intercepts the message and redirects it to C.
3. C responds with a second flight (ServerHello, ...) to A.
4. A sends a Finished message to B. A has completed the handshake,
ostensibly with B.
5. The attacker redirects the Finished message to C. C has
completed the handshake with A.
Housley, et al. Expires 16 April 2022 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft Guidance for External PSK Usage in TLS October 2021
In this attack, peer authentication is not provided. Also, if C
supports a weaker set of cipher suites than B, cryptographic
algorithm downgrade attacks might be possible. This rerouting is a
type of identity misbinding attack [Krawczyk][Sethi]. Selfie attack
[Selfie] is a special case of the rerouting attack against a group
member that can act both as TLS server and client. In the Selfie
attack, a malicious non-member reroutes a connection from the client
to the server on the same endpoint.
Finally, in addition to these weaknesses, sharing a PSK across nodes
may negatively affect deployments. For example, revocation of
individual group members is not possible without establishing a new
PSK for all of the non-revoked members.
4.2. PSK Entropy
Entropy properties of external PSKs may also affect TLS security
properties. In particular, if a high entropy PSK is used, then PSK-
only key establishment modes are secure against both active and
passive attack. However, they lack forward security. Forward
security may be achieved by using a PSK-DH mode.
In contrast, if a low entropy PSK is used, then PSK-only key
establishment modes are subject to passive exhaustive search passive
attacks which will reveal the traffic keys. PSK-DH modes are subject
to active attacks in which the attacker impersonates one side. The
exhaustive search phase of these attacks can be mounted offline if
the attacker captures a single handshake using the PSK, but those
attacks will not lead to compromise of the traffic keys for that
connection because those also depend on the Diffie-Hellman (DH)
exchange. Low entropy keys are only secure against active attack if
a PAKE is used with TLS. The Crypto Forum Research Group (CFRG) is
currently working on specifying recommended PAKEs (see
[I-D.irtf-cfrg-cpace] and [I-D.irtf-cfrg-opaque], for the symmetric
and asymmetric cases, respectively).
5. Privacy Considerations
PSK privacy properties are orthogonal to security properties
described in Section 4. TLS does little to keep PSK identity
information private. For example, an adversary learns information
about the external PSK or its identifier by virtue of it appearing in
cleartext in a ClientHello. As a result, a passive adversary can
link two or more connections together that use the same external PSK
on the wire. Depending on the PSK identity, a passive attacker may
also be able to identify the device, person, or enterprise running
the TLS client or TLS server. An active attacker can also use the
PSK identity to suppress handshakes or application data from a

Internet-Draft Guidance for External PSK Usage in TLS October 2021
specific device by blocking, delaying, or rate-limiting traffic.
Techniques for mitigating these risks require further analysis and
are out of scope for this document.
In addition to linkability in the network, external PSKs are
intrinsically linkable by PSK receivers. Specifically, servers can
link successive connections that use the same external PSK together.
Preventing this type of linkability is out of scope.
6. External PSK Use Cases and Provisioning Processes
PSK ciphersuites were first specified for TLS in 2005. Now, PSKs are
an integral part of the TLS version 1.3 specification [RFC8446]. TLS
1.3 also uses PSKs for session resumption. It distinguishes these
resumption PSKs from external PSKs which have been provisioned out-
of-band (OOB). Below, we list some example use-cases where pair-wise
external PSKs (i.e., external PSKs that are shared between only one
server and one client) have been used for authentication in TLS.
* Device-to-device communication with out-of-band synchronized keys.
PSKs provisioned out-of-band for communicating with known
identities, wherein the identity to use is discovered via a
different online protocol.
* Intra-data-center communication. Machine-to-machine communication
within a single data center or PoP may use externally provisioned
PSKs, primarily for the purposes of supporting TLS connections
with early data.
* Certificateless server-to-server communication. Machine-to-
machine communication may use externally provisioned PSKs,
primarily for the purposes of establishing TLS connections without
requiring the overhead of provisioning and managing PKI
certificates.
* Internet of Things (IoT) and devices with limited computational
capabilities. [RFC7925] defines TLS and DTLS profiles for
resource-constrained devices and suggests the use of PSK
ciphersuites for compliant devices. The Open Mobile Alliance
Lightweight Machine to Machine Technical Specification [LwM2M]
states that LwM2M servers MUST support the PSK mode of DTLS.
* Use of PSK ciphersuites are optional when securing RADIUS
[RFC2865] with TLS as specified in [RFC6614].
* The Generic Authentication Architecture (GAA) defined by 3GGP
mentions that TLS-PSK can be used between a server and user
equipment for authentication [GAA].
Housley, et al. Expires 16 April 2022 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft Guidance for External PSK Usage in TLS October 2021
* Smart Cards. The electronic German ID (eID) card supports
authentication of a card holder to online services with TLS-PSK
[SmartCard].
* Quantum resistance: Some deployments may use PSKs (or combine them
with certificate-based authentication as described in [RFC8773])
because of the protection they provide against quantum computers.
There are also use cases where PSKs are shared between more than two
entities. Some examples below (as noted by Akhmetzyanova et
al.[Akhmetzyanova]):
* Group chats. In this use-case, group participants may be
provisioned an external PSK out-of-band for establishing
authenticated connections with other members of the group.
* Internet of Things (IoT) and devices with limited computational
capabilities. Many PSK provisioning examples are possible in this
use-case. For example, in a given setting, IoT devices may all
share the same PSK and use it to communicate with a central server
(one key for n devices), have their own key for communicating with
a central server (n keys for n devices), or have pairwise keys for
communicating with each other (n^2 keys for n devices).
The exact provisioning process depends on the system requirements and
threat model. Whenever possible, avoid sharing a PSK between nodes;
however, sharing a PSK among several node is sometimes unavoidable.
When PSK sharing happens, other accommodations SHOULD be used as
discussed in Section 7.
6.1. Provisioning Examples
* Many industrial protocols assume that PSKs are distributed and
assigned manually via one of the following approaches: typing the
PSK into the devices, or using a Trust On First Use (TOFU)
approach with a device completely unprotected before the first
login did take place. Many devices have very limited UI. For
example, they may only have a numeric keypad or even less number
of buttons. When the TOFU approach is not suitable, entering the
key would require typing it on a constrained UI.
* Some devices provision PSKs via an out-of-band, cloud-based
syncing protocol.
* Some secrets may be baked into or hardware or software device
components. Moreover, when this is done at manufacturing time,
secrets may be printed on labels or included in a Bill of
Materials for ease of scanning or import.
Housley, et al. Expires 16 April 2022 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft Guidance for External PSK Usage in TLS October 2021
6.2. Provisioning Constraints
PSK provisioning systems are often constrained in application-
specific ways. For example, although one goal of provisioning is to
ensure that each pair of nodes has a unique key pair, some systems do
not want to distribute pair-wise shared keys to achieve this. As
another example, some systems require the provisioning process to
embed application-specific information in either PSKs or their
identities. Identities may sometimes need to be routable, as is
currently under discussion for EAP-TLS-PSK
[I-D.mattsson-emu-eap-tls-psk].
7. Recommendations for External PSK Usage
If an application uses external PSKs, the external PSKs MUST adhere
to the following requirements:
1. Each PSK SHOULD be derived from at least 128 bits of entropy,
MUST be at least 128 bits long, and SHOULD be combined with a DH
exchange, e.g., by using the "psk_dhe_ke" Pre-Shared Key Exchange
Mode in TLS 1.3, for forward secrecy. As discussed in Section 4,
low entropy PSKs, i.e., those derived from less than 128 bits of
entropy, are subject to attack and SHOULD be avoided. If only
low-entropy keys are available, then key establishment mechanisms
such as Password Authenticated Key Exchange (PAKE) that mitigate
the risk of offline dictionary attacks SHOULD be employed. Note
that no such mechanisms have yet been standardised, and further
that these mechanisms will not necessarily follow the same
architecture as the process for incorporating EPSKs described in
[I-D.ietf-tls-external-psk-importer].
2. Unless other accommodations are made to mitigate the risks of
PSKs know to a group, each PSK MUST be restricted in its use to
at most two logical nodes: one logical node in a TLS client role
and one logical node in a TLS server role. (The two logical
nodes MAY be the same, in different roles.) Two acceptable
accommodations are described in
[I-D.ietf-tls-external-psk-importer]: (1) exchanging client and
server identifiers over the TLS connection after the handshake,
and (2) incorporating identifiers for both the client and the
server into the context string for an EPSK importer.
Housley, et al. Expires 16 April 2022 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft Guidance for External PSK Usage in TLS October 2021
3. Nodes SHOULD use external PSK importers
[I-D.ietf-tls-external-psk-importer] when configuring PSKs for a
client-server pair when applicable. Importers make provisioning
external PSKs easier and less error prone by deriving a unique,
imported PSK from the external PSK for each key derivation
function a node supports. See the Security Considerations in
[I-D.ietf-tls-external-psk-importer] for more information.
4. Where possible the main PSK (that which is fed into the importer)
SHOULD be deleted after the imported keys have been generated.
This prevents an attacker from bootstrapping a compromise of one
node into the ability to attack connections between any node;
otherwise the attacker can recover the main key and then re-run
the importer itself.
7.1. Stack Interfaces
Most major TLS implementations support external PSKs. Stacks
supporting external PSKs provide interfaces that applications may use
when configuring PSKs for individual connections. Details about some
existing stacks at the time of writing are below.
* OpenSSL and BoringSSL: Applications can specify support for
external PSKs via distinct ciphersuites in TLS 1.2 and below.
They also then configure callbacks that are invoked for PSK
selection during the handshake. These callbacks must provide a
PSK identity and key. The exact format of the callback depends on
the negotiated TLS protocol version, with new callback functions
added specifically to OpenSSL for TLS 1.3 [RFC8446] PSK support.
The PSK length is validated to be between [1, 256] bytes. The PSK
identity may be up to 128 bytes long.
* mbedTLS: Client applications configure PSKs before creating a
connection by providing the PSK identity and value inline.
Servers must implement callbacks similar to that of OpenSSL. Both
PSK identity and key lengths may be between [1, 16] bytes long.
* gnuTLS: Applications configure PSK values, either as raw byte
strings or hexadecimal strings. The PSK identity and key size are
not validated.
* wolfSSL: Applications configure PSKs with callbacks similar to
OpenSSL.

Internet-Draft Guidance for External PSK Usage in TLS October 2021
7.1.1. PSK Identity Encoding and Comparison
Section 5.1 of [RFC4279] mandates that the PSK identity should be
first converted to a character string and then encoded to octets
using UTF-8. This was done to avoid interoperability problems
(especially when the identity is configured by human users). On the
other hand, [RFC7925] advises implementations against assuming any
structured format for PSK identities and recommends byte-by-byte
comparison for any operation. When PSK identities are configured
manually it is important to be aware that due to encoding issues
visually identical strings may, in fact, differ.
TLS version 1.3 [RFC8446] follows the same practice of specifying the
PSK identity as a sequence of opaque bytes (shown as opaque
identity<1..2^16-1> in the specification) that thus is compared on a
byte-by-byte basis. [RFC8446] also requires that the PSK identities
are at least 1 byte and at the most 65535 bytes in length. Although
[RFC8446] does not place strict requirements on the format of PSK
identities, we do however note that the format of PSK identities can
vary depending on the deployment:
* The PSK identity MAY be a user configured string when used in
protocols like Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) [RFC3748].
gnuTLS for example treats PSK identities as usernames.
* PSK identities MAY have a domain name suffix for roaming and
federation. In applications and settings where the domain name
suffix is privacy sensitive, this practice is NOT RECOMMENDED.
* Deployments should take care that the length of the PSK identity
is sufficient to avoid collisions.
7.1.2. PSK Identity Collisions
It is possible, though unlikely, that an external PSK identity may
clash with a resumption PSK identity. The TLS stack implementation
and sequencing of PSK callbacks influences the application's behavior
when identity collisions occur. When a server receives a PSK
identity in a TLS 1.3 ClientHello, some TLS stacks execute the
application's registered callback function before checking the
stack's internal session resumption cache. This means that if a PSK
identity collision occurs, the application's external PSK usage will
typically take precedence over the internal session resumption path.

Internet-Draft Guidance for External PSK Usage in TLS October 2021
8. Security Considerations
Security considerations are provided throughout this document. It
bears repeating that there are concerns related to the use of
external PSKs regarding proper identification of TLS 1.3 endpoints
and additional risks when external PSKs are known to a group.
It is NOT RECOMMENDED to share the same PSK between more than one
client and server. However, as discussed in Section 6, there are
application scenarios that may rely on sharing the same PSK among
multiple nodes. [I-D.ietf-tls-external-psk-importer] helps in
mitigating rerouting and Selfie style reflection attacks when the PSK
is shared among multiple nodes. This is achieved by correctly using
the node identifiers in the ImportedIdentity.context construct
specified in [I-D.ietf-tls-external-psk-importer]. One solution
would be for each endpoint to select one globally unique identifier
and uses it in all PSK handshakes. The unique identifier can, for
example, be one of its MAC addresses, a 32-byte random number, or its
Universally Unique IDentifier (UUID) [RFC4122].
Each endpoint SHOULD know the identifier of the other endpoint with
which its wants to connect and SHOULD compare it with the other
endpoint's identifier used in ImportedIdentity.context. It is
however important to remember that endpoints sharing the same group
PSK can always impersonate each other.
