Internet-Draft SEED-SRTP July 14, 2008
1. Introduction
This document describes the use of SEED block cipher algorithm in the
Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP) for confidentiality to the
RTP traffic and to the control traffic for RTP, the Real-time
Transport Control Protocol (RTCP)
1.1. SEED
SEED is a national industrial association standard [TTASSEED] and is
widely used in South Korea for electronic commerce and financial
services that are operated on wired and wireless communications.
As of Sep 2003, its source code in C has been distributed to 600
businesses including academic and research institutes by KISA through
e-mail. Moreover, there are several international corporations in the
number of businesses.
The usage of SEED has been covered the security service applications
such as e-Commerce, e-mail, dedicated receiver with Broadcasting,
financial service, data storage, electronic toll collection, VPN,
Digital Right Management, etc.
The algorithm specification and object identifiers are described in
[ISOSEED] [SEED]. The SEED homepage, http://www.kisa.or.kr, contains
a wealth of information about SEED, including detailed specification,
evaluation report, test vectors, and so on.
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 [RFC-2119].

2. Cipher Suite Definitions
All symmetric block cipher algorithms share common characteristics
and valuables, including mode, key size, weak keys, block size, and
rounds. The following sections contain description of the relevant
characteristics of SEED.
2.1. Mode
2.1.1. 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_CM respectively. 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-CM use SEED. Implementations MUST use SEED-CM
in conjunction with an authentication function. The pre-defined
authentication transform for SRTP is HMAC-SHA1 [RFC 2104]. SEED-CM
use a 112-bit salt as an input, as does AES-CM.
2.1.2. Counter with CBC-MAC (CCM)
CCM is a generic authenticate-and-encrypt block cipher mode [CCM]. In
this specification, CCM is used with the SEED block cipher.
SEED CCM has two parameters:
M M indicates the size of the authentication tag. CCM defines
values of 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16 octets; In [RFC3711],
the default authentication tag size is 10 octets.
Implementation MUST support M values of 10 octets.
L L indicates the size of the length field in octets. CCM defines
values of L between 2 octets and 8 octets. Implementations
MUST support an L value of 4 octets, which accommodates a full
Jumbogram [JUMBO]; however, the length includes all of the
encrypted data.
SEED CCM has four inputs:
Key
An encryption key K suitable for the block cipher. SEED
supports 128-bit key, and implementations MUST support this
key size.

Internet-Draft SEED-SRTP July 14, 2008
Nonce
The size of the nonce depends on the value selected for the
parameter L. It is 15-L octets. Implementations MUST support a
nonce of 11 octets. SEED-CCM nonce is defined as the most
significant bit of the initialization vector (IV) defined in
section 4.1.1.
Payload
The payload of the RTP packet. The payload MUST NOT be longer
than 4,294,967,295 octets, which is the maximum size of a
Jumbogram.
AAD
The header of the RTP packet. CCM does not allow additional
authenticated data (AAD) to be longer than
18,446,744,073,709,551,615 octets.
2.1.3. Galois/Counter Mode (GCM)
GCM is a block cipher mode of operation providing both
confidentiality and data origin authentication [GCM].GCM is used with
the SEED block cipher.
SEED-GCM has four inputs: a key, an initialization vector (IV), a
payload, and an additional authenticated data (AAD). Four inputs
except IV are described in section 2.1.2.
SEED-GCM defines an IV. The size of the IV is 12 octets.
Implementations MUST support this octet size. SEED-GCM IV is defined
as the most significant bit of the initialization vector (IV) defined
in section 4.1.1.
2.2. Key Size and Number of Rounds
SEED supports 128-bit key and has the 16-round Feistel structure.
2.3. Block Size
SEED uses a block size of 16 octets (128 bits).
2.4. Performance
Performance figures of SEED are available at
http://www.kisa.or.kr/seed/seed_eng.html.

3. 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].
