draft-irtf-cfrg-re-keying-02
Abstract
If encryption is performed under a single key, there is a certain
maximum threshold amount of data that can be safely encrypted. This
amount is called key lifetime. This specification contains a
description of a variety of methods to increase the lifetime of
symmetric keys. It provides external and internal re-keying
mechanisms based on hash functions and on block ciphers that can be
used with such modes of operations as CTR, GCM, CCM, CBC, CFB, OFB
and OMAC.

Internet-Draft Re-keying Mechanisms for Symmetric Keys June 2017
1. Introduction
If encryption is performed under a single key, there is a certain
maximum threshold amount of data that can be safely encrypted. This
amount is called key lifetime and can be calculated from the
following considerations:
1. Methods based on the combinatorial properties of used encryption
mode
[Sweet32] is an example of attack that is based on such
methods. These methods do not depend on the used block cipher
permutation E_{K}. Сommon encryption modes restrictions
resulting from such methods are of order 2^{n/2}.
2. Methods based on side-channel analysis issues
In most cases these methods do not depend on the used
encryption modes and weakly depend on the used block cipher
features. Restrictions resulting from these methods are
usually the strongest ones.
3. Methods based on the properties of the used block cipher
permutation E_{K}
The most common methods of this type are linear and
differential cryptanalysis [LDC]. In most cases these methods
do not depend on the used encryption modes. In case of secure
block ciphers, restrictions resulting from such methods are
roughly the same as the natural limitation 2^n and so can be
excluded from consideration as they become trivial.
Therefore, as soon as the total size of a plaintext processed with a
single key reaches the key lifetime limitation, that key must be
replaced. A specific value of the key lifetime is determined in
accordance with safety margin for protocol security and methods
outlined above.
Suppose L is a key lifetime limitation in some protocol P. For
simplicity, assume that all messages have the same length m. Hence
the number of messages q that can be processed with a single key K
should be such that m*q <= L. This can be depicted graphically as a
rectangle with sides m and q which is enclosed by area L:
Smyshlyaev Expires December 7, 2017 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft Re-keying Mechanisms for Symmetric Keys June 2017
+------------------------+
| L |
| +--------m---------+ |
| |==================| |
| |==================| |
| q==================| | m*q <= L
| |==================| |
| |==================| |
| +------------------+ |
+------------------------+
Thus, with increasing one of the parameters m or q, the second
parameter should be reduced in proportion to the first.
In practice, such amount of data that corresponds to limitation L may
not be enough. The most simple and obvious way in this situation is
a regular renegotiation of a session key. However, this reduces the
total performance since it usually entails termination of application
data transmission, additional service messages, the use of random
number generator and many other additional calculations, including
resource-intensive asymmetric cryptography.
This specification presents the description of two approaches that
allow to avoid renegotiation by extending the key lifetime for a
single agreed key: external and internal re-keying. External re-
keying is chosen at a protocol level independently of a block cipher
and encryption mode, while an internal re-keying is chosen depending
on block and key sizes of a used block cipher and its encryption
mode.
The re-keying approaches extend the key lifetime for a single agreed
key by providing the possibility to strictly limit the key leakage
(to meet side channel limitations) and by improving combinatorial
properties of a used block cipher encryption mode.
Re-keying has already been applied in TLS 1.3 protocol. As for
practical issues, re-keying can be particularly useful in such fields
as protocols functioning in hostile environments (additional side
channel resistance against DPA or EMI style attacks) or lightweight
cryptography (usage of ciphers with small block size leads to very
strong combinatorial limitations). Moreover, many mechanisms that
use external and internal re-keying provide particular types of PFS
security. Also re-keying can provide additional security against
possible future attacks on the used ciphers (by limiting the number
of plaintext-ciphertext pairs collected by an adversary), however, it
must not be used as a method to prolong life of ciphers that are
already known to be vulnerable.

4. Principles of Choice of Constructions and Security Parameters
External re-keying provides an approach, decording to which a key is
transformed after encrypting a limited number of messages. A
specific external re-keying method is chosen at the protocol level
regardless of a used block cipher or encryption mode. External re-
keying approach is recommended for usage in protocols that process
quite small messages.
The use of external re-keying has the following advantages:
1. the lifetime of a negotiated key drastically increases by
increasing the number of messages processed with one key;
2. it almost does not affect performance in case when a number of
messages processed with one key is sufficiently large;
3. provides forward and backward security of session keys for all
messages.
Homever, the use of external re-keying has the following
disadvantages:
Smyshlyaev Expires December 7, 2017 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft Re-keying Mechanisms for Symmetric Keys June 2017
1. in case of restrictive key lifetime limitations the message sizes
can become inconvenient due to impossibility of processing
sufficiently large messages, so it could be necessary to perform
additional fragmentation at the protocol level;
2. it is not transparent: procedures (like IVs generation) must be
handled separately.
Internal re-keying provides an approach according to which a key is
transformed during each separate message processing. Such approaches
are integrated into the base modes of operations so every internal
re-keying mechanism is defined for a particular mode and block cipher
(e.g. depending of block and key sizes). Internal re-keying approach
is recommended to be used in protocols that process large messages.
The use of internal re-keying has the following advantages:
1. the lifetime of a negotiated key drastically increases by
increasing the size of messages processed with one key;
2. it almost does not affect performance for long messages;
3. internal re-keying mechanisms without master key does not affect
short messages transformation at all;
4. transparent (works like any encryption mode): does not require
changes of IV's and restarting MACing.
Homever, the use of internal re-keying has the following
disadvantages:
1. a specific method must not be chosen independently of a mode of
operation;
2. internal re-keying mechanisms with master key provide backward
security of sessin keys only for one separate message;
3. internal re-keying mechanisms without master key do not provide
backward security of session keys.
Any block cipher modes of operations with internal re-keying can be
jointly used with any external re-keying mechanisms. Such joint
usage increases both the number of messages processed with one key
and their maximum possible size.
The use of the same cryptographic primitives both for data processing
and re-keying transformation decreases the code size but can lead to
some possible vulnerabilities because the adversary always have an
Smyshlyaev Expires December 7, 2017 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft Re-keying Mechanisms for Symmetric Keys June 2017
access to the data processing interface. This vulnerability can be
eliminated by using different primitives for data processing and re-
keying, however, in this case the security of the whole scheme cannot
be reduced to standard notions like PRF or PRP so security
estimations become more difficult and unclear.
5. External Re-keying Mechanisms
This section presents an approach to increase the key lifetime by
using a transformation of a previously negotiated key after
processing a limited number of integral messages. It provides an
external parallel and serial re-keying mechanisms (see [AbBell]).
These mechanisms use an initial (negotiated) key as a master key,
which is never used directly for the data processing but is used for
key generation. Such mechanisms operate outside of the base modes of
operations and do not change them at all, therefore they are called
"external re-keying" mechanisms in this document.
External re-keying mechanisms are recommended for usage in protocols
that process quite small messages (e.g. TLS records are 2^14 bytes
or less) since the maximum gain in increasing the key lifetime is
achieved by increasing the number of messages.
External re-keying increases the key lifetime through the following
approach. Suppose there is a protocol P with some mode of operation
(base encryption or authentication mode). Let L1 be a key lifetime
limitation induced by side-channel analysis methods (side-channel
limitation), let L2 be a key lifetime limitation induced by methods
based on the combinatorial properties of used mode of operation
(combinatorial limitation) and let q1, q2 be the total numbers of
messages of length m, that can be safely processed with a single key
K according to these limitations.
As L1 limitation is usually much stronger then L2 limitation (L1 <
L2), the final key lifetime restriction is equal to the most
restrictive limitation L1. Thus, without re-keying only q1 (q1*m <=
L1 ) messages can be safely processed.

Suppose that the safety margin for the protocol P is fixed and the
external re-keying approach is applied. As the key is transformed
with an external re-keying mechanism, the leakage of a previous key
does not have any impact on the following one, so the side channel
limitation L1 goes off. Thus, the resulting key lifetime limitation
of the negotiated key K can be calculated on the basis of a new
combinatorial limitation L2'. It is proven (see [AbBell]) that the
security of the mode of operation that uses external re-keying leads
to an increase when compared to base mode without re-keying (thus, L2
< L2'). Hence the resulting key lifetime limitation in case of using
external re-keying can be increased up to L2'.

Note: the key transformation process is depicted in a simplified
form. A specific approach (parallel and serial) is described below.
Consider an example. Let the message size in protocol P be equal to
1 KB. Suppose L1 = 128 MB and L2 = 1 TB. Thus, if an external re-
keying mechanism is not used, the key K must be renegotiated after
processing 128 MB / 1 KB = 131072 messages.
If an external re-keying mechanism is used, the key lifetime
limitation L1 goes off. Hence the resulting key lifetime limitation
in case of using external re-keying can be set to 1 TB (and even
more). Thus if an external re-keying mechanism is used, then 1 TB /
1 KB = 2^30 messages can be processed before the master key K is
renegotiated. This is 8192 times greater than the number of messages
that can be processed, when external re-keying mechanism is not used.
5.1. Methods of Key Lifetime Control
Suppose L is an amount of data that can be safely processed with one
key (without re-keying). For i in {1, 2, ..., t} the key K^i (see
Figure 1 and Figure 2) should be transformed after processing q_i
Smyshlyaev Expires December 7, 2017 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft Re-keying Mechanisms for Symmetric Keys June 2017
integral messages, where q_i can be calculated in accordance with one
of the following two approaches:
o Explicit approach:
|M^{i,1}| + ... + |M^{i,q_i}| <= L, |M^{i,1}| + ... + |M^{i,q_i +
1}| > L.
This approach allows to use the key K^i in almost optimal way but
it cannot be applied in case when messages may be lost or
reordered (e.g. DTLS packets).
o Implicit approach:
q_i = L / m_max, i = 1, ... , t.
The amount of data processed with one key K^i is calculated under
the assumption that every message has the maximum length m_max.
Hence this amount can be considerably less than the key lifetime
limitation L. On the other hand this approach can be applied in
case when messages may be lost or reordered (e.g. DTLS packets).
5.2. Parallel Constructions
The main idea behind external re-keying with parallel construction is
presented in Fig.1:

5.2.1. Parallel Construction Based on a KDF on a Block Cipher
ExtParallelC re-keying mechanism is based on key derivation function
on a block cipher and is used to generate t keys for t sections as
follows:
K^1 | K^2 | ... | K^t = ExtParallelC(K, t*k) =
MSB_{t*k}(E_{K}(0) | E_{K}(1) | ... | E_{K}(R-1)),
where R = ceil(t*k/n).

ExtParallelH re-keying mechanism is based on HMAC key derivation
function HKDF-Expand, described in [RFC5869], and is used to generate
t keys for t sections as follows:

where j = 1, ... , t-1.
5.3.2. Serial Construction Based on HKDF
The key K^i is calculated using ExtSerialH transformation as follows:
K^i = ExtSerialH(K, i) = HKDF-Expand(K*_i, label1, k),
where i = 1, ... , t, HKDF-Expand is an HMAC-based key derivation
function, described in [RFC5869], K*_i is calculated as follows:
K*_1 = K,
K*_{j+1} = HKDF-Expand(K*_j, label2, k), where j = 1, ... , t-1,
where label1 and label2 are different strings (can be a zero-length
strings) that are defined by a specific protocol (see, for example,
TLS 1.3 updating traffic keys algorithm [TLSDraft]).
6. Internal Re-keying Mechanisms
This section presents an approach to increase the key lifetime by
using a transformation of a previously negotiated key during each
separate message processing.
It provides internal re-keying mechanisms called ACPKM (Advanced
cryptographic prolongation of key material) and ACPKM-Master that do
not use and use a master key respectively. Such mechanisms are
integrated into the base modes of operations and actually form new
modes of operation, therefore they are called "internal re-keying"
mechanisms in this document.
Internal re-keying mechanism is recommended to be used in protocols
that process large single messages (e.g. CMS messages) since the
maximum gain in increasing the key lifetime is achieved by increasing
the length of a message, while it almost does not affect performance
for increasing the number of messages.
Internal re-keying increases the key lifetime through the following
approach. Suppose there is a protocol P with some base mode of
operation. Let L1 and L2 be a side channel and combinatorial
Smyshlyaev Expires December 7, 2017 [Page 14]
Internet-Draft Re-keying Mechanisms for Symmetric Keys June 2017
limitations respectively and for some fixed amount of messages q let
m1, m2 be the length of each separate message, that can be safely
processed with a single key K according to these limitations.
Thus, by analogy with the Section 5 without re-keying the final key
lifetime restriction is equal to L1 and only q messages of the length
m1 can be safely processed.

Suppose that the safety margin for the protocol P is fixed and
internal re-keying approach is applied to the base mode of operation.
Suppose further that for every message the key is transformed after
processing N bits of data, where N is a parameter. If q*N does not
exceed L1 then the side channel limitation L1 goes off and the
resulting key lifetime limitation of the negotiated key K can be
calculated on the basis of a new combinatorial limitation L2'. The
security of the mode of operation that uses external re-keying must
lead to an increase when compared to base mode of operation without
re-keying (thus, L2 < L2'). Hence the resulting key lifetime
limitation in case of using external re-keying can be increased up to
L2'.

Note: the key transformation process is depicted in a simplified
form. A specific approach (ACPKM and ACPKM-Master re-keying
mechanisms) is described below.
Since the performance of encryption can slightly decrease for rather
small values of N, the parameter N should be selected for a
particular protocol as maximum possible to provide necessary key
lifetime for the adversary models that are considered.
Consider an example. Suppose L1 = 128 MB and L2 = 10 TB. Let the
message size in the protocol be large/unlimited (may exhaust the
whole key lifetime L2'). The most restrictive resulting key lifetime
limitation is equal to 128 MB.
Thus, there is a need to put a limit on the maximum message size
m_max. For example, if m_max = 32 MB, it may happen that the
renegotiation of key K would be required after processing only four
messages.
If an internal re-keying mechanism with section size N = 1 MB (see
Figure 3 and Figure 4) is used, more then L1 / N = 128 MB / 1 MB =
128 messages can be processed before the renegotiation of key K
(instead of 4 messages in case when an internal re-keying mechanism
is not used). Note that only one section of each message is
processed with one key K^i, and, consequently, the key lifetime
limitation L1 goes off. Hence the resulting key lifetime limitation
in case of using external re-keying can be set to at least 10 TB (in
the case when the single large message is processed using the key K).
6.1. Methods of Key Lifetime Control
Suppose L is an amount of data that can be safely processed with one
key (without re-keying), N is a section size (fixed parameter).
Suppose M^{i}_1 is the first section of message M^{i}, i = 1, ... , q
Smyshlyaev Expires December 7, 2017 [Page 16]
Internet-Draft Re-keying Mechanisms for Symmetric Keys June 2017
(see Figure 3 and Figure 4), then the parameter q can be calculated
in accordance with one of the following two approaches:
o Explicit approach:
|M^{1}_1| + ... + |M^{q}_1| <= L, |M^{1}_1| + ... + |M^{q+1}_1| >
L
This approach allows to use the key K^i in an almost optimal way
but it cannot be applied in case when messages may be lost or
reordered (e.g. DTLS packets).
o Implicit approach:
q = L / N.
The amount of data processed with one key K^i is calculated under
the assumption that the length of every message is equal or more
then section size N and so it can be considerably less than the
key lifetime limitation L. On the other hand this approach can be
applied in case when messages may be lost or reordered (e.g. DTLS
packets).
6.2. Constructions that Do Not Require Master Key
This section describes the block cipher modes that use the ACPKM re-
keying mechanism, which does not use master key: an initial key is
used directly for the encryption of the data.
6.2.1. ACPKM Re-keying Mechanisms
This section defines periodical key transformation with no master key
which is called ACPKM re-keying mechanism. This mechanism can be
applied to one of the basic encryption modes (CTR and GCM block
cipher modes) for getting an extension of this encryption mode that
uses periodical key transformation with no master key. This
extension can be considered as a new encryption mode.
An additional parameter that defines the functioning of base
encryption modes with the ACPKM re-keying mechanism is the section
size N. The value of N is measured in bits and is fixed within a
specific protocol based on the requirements of the system capacity
and key lifetime (some recommendations on choice of N will be
provided in Section 8). The section size N MUST be divisible by the
block size n.
The main idea behind internal re-keying with no master key is
presented in Fig.3:

Figure 3: Internal re-keying with no master key
During the processing of the input message M with the length m in
some encryption mode that uses ACPKM key transformation of the key K
the message is divided into l = ceil(m/N) sections (denoted as M =
M_1 | M_2 | ... | M_l, where M_i is in V_N for i = 1, 2, ... , l-1
and M_l is in V_r, r <= N). The first section of each message is
processed with the initial key K^1 = K. To process the (i+1)-th
section of each message the K^{i+1} key value is calculated using
ACPKM transformation as follows:
K^{i+1} = ACPKM(K^i) = MSB_k(E_{K^i}(D_1) | ... | E_{K^i}(D_J)),
where J = ceil(k/n), parameter c is fixed by a specific encryption
mode which uses ACPKM key transformation and D_1, D_2, ... , D_J are
in V_n and are calculated as follows:
D_1 | D_2 | ... | D_J = MSB_{J*n}(D),

6.2.2. CTR-ACPKM Encryption Mode
This section defines a CTR-ACPKM encryption mode that uses internal
ACPKM re-keying mechanism for the periodical key transformation.
The CTR-ACPKM mode can be considered as the extended by the ACPKM re-

The * operation on (pairs of) the 2^n possible blocks corresponds to
the multiplication operation for the binary Galois (finite) field of
2^n elements defined by the polynomial f as follows (by analogy with
[GCM]):
n = 128: f = a^128 + a^7 + a^2 + a^1 + 1.
n = 256: f = a^256 + a^10 + a^5 + a^2 + 1.
The initial vector IV value for each message that is encrypted under
the given key must be chosen in a unique manner.
The plaintext size MUST NOT exceed n*(2^{c-1} - 2) bits.
The key for computing values E_{K}(ICB_0) and H is not updated and is
equal to the initial key K.
6.2.4. CCM Mode Key Meshing
This section defines a CCM-ACPKM authenticated encryption block
cipher mode that uses internal ACPKM re-keying mechanism for the
periodical key transformation.
The CCM-ACPKM mode can be considered as the extended by the ACPKM re-
keying mechanism basic authenticated encryption mode CCM (see
[RFC3610]).
Smyshlyaev Expires December 7, 2017 [Page 23]
Internet-Draft Re-keying Mechanisms for Symmetric Keys June 2017
Since [RFC3610] defines CCM authenticated encryption mode only for
128-bit block size, the CCM-ACPKM authenticated encryption mode can
be used only with the parameter n = 128. However, the CCM-ACPKM
design principles can easily be applied to other block sizes, but
these modes will require their own specifications.
The CCM-ACPKM authenticated encryption mode differs from CCM mode in
keys that are used for encryption during CBC-MAC calculation (see
Section 2.2 of [RFC3610]) and key stream blocks generation (see
Section 2.3 of [RFC3610]).
The CCM mode uses the same initial key K block cipher encryption
operations, while the CCM-ACPKM mode uses the keys K^1, K^2, ...,
which are generated from the key K as follows:
K^1 = K,
K^{i+1} = ACPKM( K^i ).
The keys K^1, K^2, ..., which are used as follows.
CBC-MAC calculation: under a separate message processing during the
first N/n block cipher encryption operations the key K^1 is used, the
key K^2 is used for the next N/n block cipher encryption operations
and so on. For example, if N = 2n, then CBC-MAC calculation for a
sequence of t blocks B_0, B_1, ..., B_t is as follows:
X_1 = E( K^1, B_0 ),
X_2 = E( K^1, X_1 XOR B_1 ),
X_3 = E( K^2, X_2 XOR B_2 ),
X_4 = E( K^2, X_3 XOR B_3 ),
X_5 = E( K^3, X_4 XOR B_4 ),
...
T = first-M-bytes( X_t+1 )
The key stream blocks generation: under a separate message processing
during the first N/n block cipher encryption operations the key K^1
is used, the key K^2 is used for the next N/n block cipher encryption
operations and so on. For example, if N = 2n, then the key stream
blocks are generated as follows:
S_0 = E( K^1, A_0 ),
S_1 = E( K^1, A_1 ),
S_2 = E( K^2, A_2 ),
S_3 = E( K^2, A_3 ),
S_4 = E( K^3, A_4 ),
...

6.3. Constructions that Require Master Key
This section describes the block cipher modes that uses the ACPKM-
Master re-keying mechanism, which use the initial key K as a master
key K, so K is never used directly for the data processing but is
used for key derivation.
6.3.1. ACPKM-Master Key Derivation from the Master Key
This section defines periodical key transformation with master key K
which is called ACPKM-Master re-keying mechanism. This mechanism can
be applied to one of the basic modes of operation (CTR, GCM, CBC,
CFB, OFB, OMAC modes) for getting an extension of this modes of
operations that uses periodical key transformation with master key.
This extension can be considered as a new mode of operation .
Additional parameters that defines the functioning of basic modes of
operation with the ACPKM-Master re-keying mechanism are the section
size N and change frequency T* of the key K. The values of N and T*
are measured in bits and are fixed within a specific protocol based
on the requirements of the system capacity and key lifetime (some
recommendations on choosing N and T* will be provided in Section 8).
The section size N MUST be divisible by the block size n. The key
frequency T* MUST be divisible by n.
The main idea behind internal re-keying with master key is presented

The * operation on (pairs of) the 2^n possible blocks corresponds to
the multiplication operation for the binary Galois (finite) field of
2^n elements defined by the polynomial f as follows (by analogy with
[GCM]):
n = 128: f = a^128 + a^7 + a^2 + a^1 + 1.
n = 256: f = a^256 + a^10 + a^5 + a^2 + 1.
The initial vector IV value for each message that is encrypted under
the given key must be chosen in a unique manner.

6.3.4. CCM Mode Key Meshing
This section defines a CCM-ACPKM-Master authenticated encryption mode
of operations that uses internal ACPKM-Master re-keying mechanism for
the periodical key transformation.
The CCM-ACPKM-Master authenticated encryption mode is differed from
CCM-ACPKM mode in the way the keys K^1, K^2, ... are generated. For
CCM-ACPKM-Master mode the keys are generated as follows: K^i = K[i],
where |K^i|=k and K[1]|K[2]|...|K[l] = ACPKM-Master( T*, K, k*l ).
6.3.5. CBC Mode Key Meshing
This section defines a CBC-ACPKM-Master encryption mode that uses
internal ACPKM-Master re-keying mechanism for the periodical key
transformation.
The CBC-ACPKM-Master encryption mode can be considered as the
extended by the ACPKM-Master re-keying mechanism basic encryption
mode CBC (see [MODES]).
The CBC-ACPKM-Master encryption mode can be used with the following
parameters:
o 64 <= n <= 512;
o 128 <= k <= 512.
In the specification of the CBC-ACPKM-Master mode the plaintext and
ciphertext must be a sequence of one or more complete data blocks.
If the data string to be encrypted does not initially satisfy this
property, then it MUST be padded to form complete data blocks. The
padding methods are outside the scope of this document. An example
of a padding method can be found in Appendix A of [MODES].
The key material K[j] that is used for one section processing is
equal to K^j, |K^j| = k bits.
We will denote by D_{K} the decryption function which is a
permutation inverse to the E_{K}.
The CBC-ACPKM-Master mode encryption and decryption procedures are
defined as follows:

6.3.8. OMAC Mode Key Meshing
This section defines an OMAC-ACPKM-Master message authentication code

for the periodical key transformation.
Smyshlyaev Expires December 7, 2017 [Page 37]
Internet-Draft Re-keying Mechanisms for Symmetric Keys June 2017
The OMAC-ACPKM-Master mode can be considered as the extended by the
ACPKM-Master re-keying mechanism basic message authentication code
calculation mode OMAC, which is also known as CMAC (see [RFC4493]).
The OMAC-ACPKM-Master message authentication code calculation mode
can be used with the following parameters:
o n in {64, 128, 256};
o 128 <= k <= 512.
The key material K[j] that is used for one section processing is
equal to K^j | K^j_1, where |K^j| = k and |K^j_1| = n.
The following is a specification of the subkey generation process of
OMAC:
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Generate_Subkey(K1, r) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Input: |
| - Key K1, |
| Output: |
| - Key SK. |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 1. If r = n then return K1 |
| 2. If r < n then |
| if MSB_1(K1) = 0 |
| return K1 << 1 |
| else |
| return (K1 << 1) (xor) R_n |
| |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
Where R_n takes the following values:
o n = 64: R_{64} = 0^{59} | 11011;
o n = 128: R_{128} = 0^{120} | 10000111;
o n = 256: R_{256} = 0^{145} | 10000100101.
The OMAC-ACPKM-Master message authentication code calculation mode is
defined as follows:

| Output: |
| - message authentication code T. |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 1. C_0 = 0^n |
| 2. l = ceil(b*n / N) |
| 3. K^1 | K^1_1 | ... | K^l | K^l_1 = ACPKM-Master(T*, K, (k+n)*l |
| 4. For j = 1, 2, ... , b-1 do |
| i = ceil(j*n / N), |
| C_j = E_{K^i}(M_j (xor) C_{j-1}) |
| 5. SK = Generate_Subkey(K^l_1, |M_b|) |
| 6. If |M_b| = n then M*_b = M_b |
| else M*_b = M_b | 1 | 0^{n - 1 -|M_b|} |
| 7. T = E_{K^l}(M*_b (xor) C_{b-1} (xor) SK) |
| 8. Return T |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
The message size MUST NOT exceed 2^{n/2}*n^2*N / (k + n) bits.
7. Joint Usage of External and Internal Re-keying
Any mechanism described in Section 5 can be used with any mechanism
described in Section 6.
8. Security Considerations
Re-keying should be used to increase "a priori" security properties
of ciphers in hostile environments (e.g. with side-channel
adversaries). If some non-negligible attacks are known for a cipher,
it must not be used. So re-keying cannot be used as a patch for
vulnerable ciphers. Base cipher properties must be well analyzed,
because security of re-keying mechanisms is based on security of a
block cipher as a pseudorandom function.
Re-keying is not intended to solve any post-quantum security issues
for symmetric crypto since the reduction of security caused by
Grover's algorithm is not connected with a size of plaintext
transformed by a cipher - only a negligible (sufficient for key
uniqueness) material is needed and the aim of re-keying is to limit a
size of plaintext transformed on one key.
