Abstract

   The Group Domain of Interpretation (RFC 6407) includes the ability
   for a Group Controller/Key Server (GCKS) to provide a set of current
   Group Member (GM) devices with additional security associations
   (e.g., to rekey expiring security associations).  This memo adds the
   ability of a GCKS to request the GM devices to return an
   acknowledgement of receipt of its rekey message, and specifies the
   acknowledgement method.

1.  Introduction

   The Group Domain of Interpretation (RFC 6407) is a group key
   management method by which a Group Controller/Key Server (GCKS)
   distributes security associations (i.e., cryptographic policy and
   keying material) to a set of Group Member (GM) devices.  GDOI meets
   the requirement of the Multicast Security (MSEC) Group Key Management
   Architecture [RFC4046], and defines both a Registration Protocol and
   Rekey Protocol.  GDOI describes the Rekey Protocol as a GROUPKEY-PUSH
   message.

   A GDOI GCKS uses a GROUPKEY-PUSH message to alert group members to
   updates in policy for the group, including new policy and keying
   material, replacement policy and keying material, and indications of
   deleted policy and keying material.  Usually the GCKS does not
   require a notification that the group member actually received the
   policy.  However, in some cases it is beneficial for a GCKS to be
   told by each receiving GM that it received the rekey message and by
   implication has reacted to the policy contained within.  For example,
   a GCKS policy can use the acknowledgements to determine which GMs are
   receiving the current group policy and which members may no longer be
   members of the group.

   This memo introduces a method by which a GM returns an acknowledgment
   message to the GCKS.  Initially a GCKS requests GM to acknowledge
   GROUPKEY-PUSH messages as part of distributed group policy.  Then
   (shown in Figure 1) when the GCKS delivers a GROUPKEY-PUSH message,
   each GM that honors the GCKS request returns a GROUPKEY-PUSH
   Acknowledgement Message.  The rest of this memo describe this method
   in detail.

2.  Acknowledgement Message Request

   When a GM is ready to join a group, it contacts the GCKS with a
   GROUPKEY-PULL Registration Protocol.  When the GCKS has authenticated
   and verified that the GM is an authorized member of the group it
   download several sets of policy in a Security Association (SA)
   payload.  If the group includes the use of a GROUPKEY-PUSH Rekey
   Protocol, the SA payload includes an SA KEK payload (Section 5.3 of
   [RFC6407]).  When necessary the GROUPKEY-PUSH Rekey Protocol also
   contains an SA payload that includes SA KEK policy.  The SA KEK
   policy indicates how the GM will be receiving and handling the
   GROUPKEY-PUSH Rekey Protocol.

   When the GCKS policy includes the use of the GROUPKEY-PUSH
   Acknowledgement Message, the GCKS reports this policy to the GM
   within the SA KEK policy.  The GCKS includes a new KEK Attribute with
   the name KEK_ACK_REQUESTED (value TBD-1), which indicates that the GM
   is requested to return a GROUPKEY-PUSH Acknowledgement Message.  A GM
   receiving the KEK_ACK_REQUESTED attribute can choose to ignore it,
   thus appearing as if it does not support the KEK_ACK_REQUESTED
   attribute.  However, GCKS policy may consider a non-responsive GM to
   no longer desire to be a member of the group.

   The following values of the KEK_ACK_REQUESTED are defined in this
   memo.

2.1.  REKEY_ACK_KEK Type

   This type of Rekey ACK indicates the message defined in this memo,
   where the base_key (defined in Section 3.2) is the KEK_ALGORITHM_KEY
   used to decrypt the GROUPKEY-PUSH message.

2.2.  REKEY_ACK_LKH Type

   This type of Rekey ACK can be used when the KEK_MANAGEMENT_ALGORITHM
   KEK attribute has a value representing LKH.  The base_key is the Key
   Data taken from the first LKH Key structure in an LKH_DOWNLOAD_ARRAY
   attribute (see Section 5.6.3.1 of [RFC6407]).  This is a private key
   that the GCKS shares with the group member.

3.  GROUPKEY-PUSH Acknowledgement Message

   The GROUPKEY-PUSH message defined in [RFC6407] is reproduced in
   Figure 2.  The SA and KD payloads contain the actual policy and
   keying material being distributed to the GM.  The SEQ payload
   containing a sequence number that is used by the GM for replay
   protection.  This sequence number defines a unique rekey message
   delivered to that GM.

                GM                                   GCKS
                --                                    ----
                    <---- HDR*, SEQ, [D,] SA, KD, SIG

        * Protected by the Rekey SA KEK; encryption occurs after HDR

                   Figure 2: GROUPKEY-PUSH from RFC 6407

   When the GM has received a KEK_ACK_REQUESTED attribute in an SA KEK
   and it chooses to respond, it returns the value of the Sequence
   Number taken from the GROUPKEY-PUSH message to the GCKS along with
   its identity.  This tuple alerts the GCKS that the GM has received
   the GROUPKEY-PUSH message and implemented the policy contained
   therein.  The GROUPKEY-PUSH Acknowledgement Message is shown in
   Figure 3.

                      GM                              GCKS
                      --                              ----
                         HDR, HASH, SEQ, ID   ---->

              Figure 3: GROUPKEY-PUSH Acknowledgement Message

   The IP header for the GROUPKEY-PUSH Acknowledgement Message is
   constructed as if it were a reply to the GROUPKEY-PUSH message.  That
   is, the Source Address of the GROUPKEY-PUSH message becomes the
   Destination Address of the GROUPKEY-PUSH Acknowledgement Message and
   the GM includes its own IP address as the Source Address of the
   GROUPKEY-PUSH Acknowledgement Message.  The Source port in the
   GROUPKEY-PUSH message UDP header becomes the Destination port of the
   GROUPKEY-PUSH Acknowledgement Message UDP header, and the Destination
   port of the GROUPKEY-PUSH message UDP header becomes the Source port
   of the GROUPKEY-PUSH Acknowledgement Message UDP header.

   The following sections describe the payloads in the GROUPKEY-PUSH
   Acknowledgement Message.

3.1.  ISAKMP HDR

   The message begins with an ISAKMP [RFC2408] header.  The fields in
   the HDR must be initialized as follows.  The Cookies of a GROUPKEY-
   PUSH message act as a Security Parameter Index (SPI) and are copied
   to the Acknowledgement Message.  Next Payload identifies a Hash
   payload (8).  Major Version is 1 and Minor Version is 0.  The
   Exchange Type has value 35 for the GDOI GROUPKEY-PUSH Acknowledgment
   Message.  Flags are set to 0.  Message ID MUST be set to zero.
   Length is according to ISAKMP (Section 3.1 of [RFC2408]).

3.2.  HASH

   The HASH payload is defined in ISAKMP [RFC2408].  The hash data in
   the HASH payload is created as follows:

        HASH = prf(ack_key, SEQ | ID)

   where:

   o  prf is PRF-HMAC-SHA-256 [RFC4868].

   o  "|" indicates concatenation.

   o  SEQ and ID represent the bytes comprising the Sequence Number and
      Identification Payloads

   The ack_key is computed from a KDF that conforms to KDF in Feedback
   Mode as defined in NIST SP800-108 [SP800-108] where the length of the
   derived keying material is the same as the output of the PRF, there
   is no initialization vector, and the optional counter is not used.

        ack_key = prf(base_key, "GROUPKEY-PUSH ACK" | SPI | L)

   where:

   o  prf is PRF-HMAC-SHA-256 [RFC4868].

   o  base_key is specific to the KEK_ACK_REQUESTED value, and is
      described as part of that description.

   o  "|" indicates concatenation.

   o  "GROUPKEY-PUSH ACK" is a label encoded as a null terminated ASCII
      string.

   o  SPI is the Initiator Cookie followed by the Responder Cookie taken
      from the GROUPKEY-PUSH message HDR, which describes the Context of

      the key usage.

   o  L is a length field matching the number of bits in the ack_key.  L
      MUST match the length of the base_key.  The value L is represented
      as two octets

3.3.  SEQ

   The Sequence Number Payload is defined in [RFC6407].  The value in
   the GROUPKEY-PUSH SEQ payload is copied to the SEQ payload.

3.4.  ID

   The Identification payload is defined in ISAKMP [RFC2408].  The ID
   payload contains an ID Type of ID_IPV4_ADDR or ID_IPV6_ADDR as
   defined in [RFC2407].  Protocol ID and Port fields MUST be set to 0.
   The address provided in the ID payload represents the IP address of
   the GM, and MUST match the source IP address used for the most recent
   GROUPKEY-PULL exchange.

4.  Group Member Operations

   When a GM receives an SA KEK payload (in a GROUPKEY-PULL exchange or
   GROUPKEY-PUSH message) including an KEK_ACK_REQUESTED attribute, it
   records in its group state some indication that it is expected to
   return a GROUPKEY-PUSH ACK message.  A GM SHOULD honor the
   KEK_ACK_REQUESTED attribute by sending acknowledgments, because it
   can be expected that the GCKS is likely to take some policy-specific
   action regarding non-responsive GMs, including ceasing to deliver
   GROUPKEY-PUSH messages to it.

   If a GM does not intend to respond with Acknowledgements, or cannot
   respond with the requested type of Acknowledgement, it continues with
   protocol exchange and participates in the group.  In any case, if a
   GM stops receiving GROUPKEY-PUSH messages from a GCKS it will re-
   register before existing security associations expire, so omitting
   sending Acknowledgements should not be critical.

   When a GM receives a GROUPKEY-PUSH message, it processes the message
   according to RFC 6407.  When it concludes successful processing of
   the message, it formulates the GROUPKEY-PUSH ACK messages as
   described in Section 3 and delivers the message to the GCKS from
   which the GROUPKEY-PUSH message was received.  A GROUPKEY-PUSH ACK
   message is sent even if the GROUPKEY-PUSH message contains a Delete
   payload for the KEK used to protect the GROUPKEY-PUSH message.

Internet-Draft              GROUPKEY-PUSH ACK               October 2013

5.  GCKS Operations

   When a GCKS policy includes requesting a GROUPKEY-PUSH ACK message
   from Group Members, it includes the KEK_ACK_REQUESTED attribute in
   the SA KEK payload.  It does this each time the SA KEK is delivered,
   in both a GROUPKEY-PULL exchange and GROUPKEY-PUSH message.  The
   value of the KEK_ACK_REQUESTED attribute will depend upon the type SA
   KEK, as described in Section 2.

   When a GCKS receives a GROUPKEY-PUSH ACK message (identified by an
   Exchange type of GROUPKEY-PUSH-ACK), it first verifies that the group
   policy includes receiving GROUPKEY-PUSH ACK messages.  If not, the
   message is discarded.

   If the message is expected, the GCKS validates the format of the
   message, and verifies that the HASH has been properly constructed as
   described in Section 3.2.  If validation fails, the message is
   discarded.  The GCKS extracts the sequence number and identity of the
   GM from the SEQ and ID payloads respectively, and records the fact
   that the GM received the GROUPKEY-PUSH message represented by its
   serial number.  The GCKS MAY be configured with additional policy
   actions such as alerting its administrators of GMs that do not return
   several consecutive acknowledgement messages or even removing
   unresponsive GMs from the group.  However, a GCKS with a policy of
   removing GMs from the group needs to be aware that GMs that chose not
   to respond will not receive newer group policy until it initiates
   contact with the GCKS again.

   When a GROUPKEY-PUSH message includes a Delete payload for the KEK
   used to protect the GROUPKEY-PUSH message, the GCKS should not itself
   delete the KEK until it has given GMs time to acknowledge receiving
   the GROUPKEY-PUSH message.

6.  Security Considerations

   There are three areas of security considerations to consider: the
   protection of the GROUPKEY-PUSH ACK message, whether the GM should
   transmit a GROUPKEY-PUSH ACK, and whether a KS should accept a
   GROUPKEY-PUSH ACK.

6.1.  Protection of the GROUPKEY-PUSH ACK

   The GROUPKEY-PUSH ACK message is an ISAKMP [RFC2408] message.
   Message authentication and Man-in-the-Middle Attack Protection is
   provided by the inclusion of a HASH payload, which includes the
   output of an HMAC computation (PRF-HMAC-SHA-256) over the bytes of
   the message.

   When the value of REKEY_ACK_KEK is specified, because the KEK is a
   group secret impersonation of a victim GM by another authorized GM is
   possible.  However, security considerations of the impersonation are
   limited to a false claim that a victim GM has received a GROUPKEY-
   PUSH when the victim GM has in fact not received it (e.g., because an
   active attacker has discarded the GROUPKEY-PUSH).  If a GCKS policy
   includes sending retransmissions of the GROUPKEY-PUSH message to that
   victim GM, then the victim GM may not receive replacement security
   associations.  However, this adds no additional threats over a use
   case where the GROUPKEY-PUSH ACK is not deployed and GROUPKEY-PUSH
   messages are withheld from a victim GM by an active attacker.  These
   threats can be mitigated by using a value of REKEY_ACK_LKH, due to
   the use of a secret pairwise key shared between the GCKS and
   individual GM.

   Confidentiality is not provided for the GROUPKEY-PUSH ACK message.
   The contents of the message can be observed by a passive attacker,
   which includes the hash value, the sequence number of in the
   GROUPKEY-PUSH message to which it is acknowledging receipt, and the
   identity of the GM.  Observation of a hash value or set of hash
   values will not compromise the hash key.  The identity of the GM is
   also available to the passive attacker as the source IP address of
   the packet.  The sequence number does reveal the sequence number that
   was included in the GROUPKEY-PUSH, which was previously not available
   to the attacker.  However, the attacker is assumed to not be in
   possession of the key used to encrypt the message, and thus cannot
   create a spoofed GROUPKEY-PUSH message.  Therefore, there is no
   direct value that the attacker derives from the knowledge of the
   sequence number.

Internet-Draft              GROUPKEY-PUSH ACK               October 2013

6.2.  Transmitting a GROUPKEY-PUSH ACK

   A GM transmits an ACK only when the policy of the most recently
   received SA KEK includes a request by the GCKS for ACKs, and only is
   returned after processing the GROUPKEY-PUSH message according to
   Section 4.4 of [RFC6407].  In other words, the form of the GROUPKEY-
   PUSH message will have been validated, replay protection completed,
   and the digital signature verified as being genuine.  Therefore, the
   threats of a GM responding to a spoofed or resent GROUPKEY-PUSH
   message, and the possibility of the GM being used to propagate a
   Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack on a GCKS are mitigated.
   For more information, see the security considerations of a GROUPKEY-
   PUSH message described in Section 7.3 of [RFC6407].

6.3.  Receiving a GROUPKEY-PUSH ACK

   A KS receiving ACK messages will follow the validation steps
   described in Section 5 before interpreting the contents of the
   message.  The GCKS will then be sure to operate only on messages that
   have been sent by an authorized GM.

   A GCKS SHOULD be prepared to receive GROUPKEY-PUSH ACK messages from
   each GM to which it was sent.  That is, needs to ensure it has
   sufficient resources (e.g., receive queue size) so that it does not
   unnecessarily drop ACK messages.  An GCKS should be aware that a
   large number of replayed or invalid GROUPKEY-PUSH messages could be
   addressed to it.  However, this is no worse a threat than if it
   received a large number of other types of replayed or invalid ISAKMP
   messages containing a HASH payload.

   GCKS implementations SHOULD keep a record (e.g., a hash value) of
   recently received GROUPKEY-PUSH Acknowledgment messages and reject
   duplicate messages prior to performing cryptographic operations.
   This enables an early discard of the replayed messages.

   How a GCKS processes the serial number and identity included in an
   ACK message is a matter of local policy and is outside the scope of
   this memo.

7.  IANA Considerations

   The following additions are made to the GDOI Payloads [GDOI-REG]
   registry.

   A new attribute is added to the SA KEK Payload Values - KEK
   Attributes registry.  The ID Class name is KEK_ACK_REQUESTED with a
   value of TBD-1, and is a Basic attribute.  Values for this attribute
   are shown in the following table.  The terms Reserved, Unassigned,
   and Private Use are to be applied as defined in [RFC5226].  The
   registration procedure is Specification Required.

                       Value            Type
                      -------           ----
                         0              Reserved
                         1              REKEY_ACK_KEK
                         2              REKEY_ACK_LKH
                        3-128           Unassigned
                      129-255           Private Use

   A new registry is added to GDOI Payloads [GDOI-REG] defining
   Additional Exchange values for the GDOI DOI.  The registration
   procedure is Specification Required.  The terms Reserved and
   Unassigned are to be applied as defined in [RFC5226].
