1. Introduction
This document describes how QUIC [QUIC-TRANSPORT] is secured using
TLS [TLS13].
TLS 1.3 provides critical latency improvements for connection
establishment over previous versions. Absent packet loss, most new
connections can be established and secured within a single round
trip; on subsequent connections between the same client and server,
the client can often send application data immediately, that is,
using a zero round trip setup.
This document describes how TLS acts as a security component of QUIC.
2. Notational Conventions
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.
This document uses the terminology established in [QUIC-TRANSPORT].
For brevity, the acronym TLS is used to refer to TLS 1.3, though a
newer version could be used (see Section 4.2).
2.1. TLS Overview
TLS provides two endpoints with a way to establish a means of
communication over an untrusted medium (that is, the Internet) that
ensures that messages they exchange cannot be observed, modified, or
forged.
Internally, TLS is a layered protocol, with the structure shown in
Figure 1.

+---------------------------------------------------+
Figure 1: TLS Layers
Each Handshake layer message (e.g., Handshake, Alerts, and
Application Data) is carried as a series of typed TLS records by the
Record layer. Records are individually cryptographically protected
and then transmitted over a reliable transport (typically TCP) which
provides sequencing and guaranteed delivery.
The TLS authenticated key exchange occurs between two endpoints:
client and server. The client initiates the exchange and the server
responds. If the key exchange completes successfully, both client
and server will agree on a secret. TLS supports both pre-shared key
(PSK) and Diffie-Hellman over either finite fields or elliptic curves
((EC)DHE) key exchanges. PSK is the basis for 0-RTT; the latter
provides perfect forward secrecy (PFS) when the (EC)DHE keys are
destroyed.
After completing the TLS handshake, the client will have learned and
authenticated an identity for the server and the server is optionally
able to learn and authenticate an identity for the client. TLS
supports X.509 [RFC5280] certificate-based authentication for both
server and client.
The TLS key exchange is resistant to tampering by attackers and it
produces shared secrets that cannot be controlled by either
participating peer.
TLS provides two basic handshake modes of interest to QUIC:
* A full 1-RTT handshake in which the client is able to send
Application Data after one round trip and the server immediately
responds after receiving the first handshake message from the
client.
Thomson & Turner Expires 21 November 2020 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft Using TLS to Secure QUIC May 2020
* A 0-RTT handshake in which the client uses information it has
previously learned about the server to send Application Data
immediately. This Application Data can be replayed by an attacker
so it MUST NOT carry a self-contained trigger for any non-
idempotent action.
A simplified TLS handshake with 0-RTT application data is shown in
Figure 2.

Figure 2: TLS Handshake with 0-RTT
Figure 2 omits the EndOfEarlyData message, which is not used in QUIC;
see Section 8.3. Likewise, neither ChangeCipherSpec nor KeyUpdate
messages are used by QUIC. ChangeCipherSpec is redundant in TLS 1.3;
see Section 8.4. QUIC has its own key update mechanism; see
Section 6.
Data is protected using a number of encryption levels:
* Initial Keys
* Early Data (0-RTT) Keys
* Handshake Keys
* Application Data (1-RTT) Keys
Application Data may appear only in the Early Data and Application
Data levels. Handshake and Alert messages may appear in any level.
Thomson & Turner Expires 21 November 2020 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft Using TLS to Secure QUIC May 2020
The 0-RTT handshake is only possible if the client and server have
previously communicated. In the 1-RTT handshake, the client is
unable to send protected Application Data until it has received all
of the Handshake messages sent by the server.
3. Protocol Overview
QUIC [QUIC-TRANSPORT] assumes responsibility for the confidentiality
and integrity protection of packets. For this it uses keys derived
from a TLS handshake [TLS13], but instead of carrying TLS records
over QUIC (as with TCP), TLS Handshake and Alert messages are carried
directly over the QUIC transport, which takes over the
responsibilities of the TLS record layer, as shown in Figure 3.

+---------------------------------------------+
Figure 3: QUIC Layers
QUIC also relies on TLS for authentication and negotiation of
parameters that are critical to security and performance.
Rather than a strict layering, these two protocols cooperate: QUIC
uses the TLS handshake; TLS uses the reliability, ordered delivery,
and record layer provided by QUIC.
At a high level, there are two main interactions between the TLS and
QUIC components:
* The TLS component sends and receives messages via the QUIC
component, with QUIC providing a reliable stream abstraction to
TLS.
Thomson & Turner Expires 21 November 2020 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft Using TLS to Secure QUIC May 2020
* The TLS component provides a series of updates to the QUIC
component, including (a) new packet protection keys to install (b)
state changes such as handshake completion, the server
certificate, etc.
Figure 4 shows these interactions in more detail, with the QUIC
packet protection being called out specially.

Figure 4: QUIC and TLS Interactions
Unlike TLS over TCP, QUIC applications which want to send data do not
send it through TLS "application_data" records. Rather, they send it
as QUIC STREAM frames or other frame types which are then carried in
QUIC packets.
4. Carrying TLS Messages
QUIC carries TLS handshake data in CRYPTO frames, each of which
consists of a contiguous block of handshake data identified by an
offset and length. Those frames are packaged into QUIC packets and
encrypted under the current TLS encryption level. As with TLS over
TCP, once TLS handshake data has been delivered to QUIC, it is QUIC's
responsibility to deliver it reliably. Each chunk of data that is
produced by TLS is associated with the set of keys that TLS is
currently using. If QUIC needs to retransmit that data, it MUST use
the same keys even if TLS has already updated to newer keys.
Thomson & Turner Expires 21 November 2020 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft Using TLS to Secure QUIC May 2020
One important difference between TLS records (used with TCP) and QUIC
CRYPTO frames is that in QUIC multiple frames may appear in the same
QUIC packet as long as they are associated with the same packet
number space. For instance, an endpoint can bundle a Handshake
message and an ACK for some Handshake data into the same packet.
Some frames are prohibited in different packet number spaces. The
rules here generalize those of TLS, in that frames associated with
establishing the connection can usually appear in packets in any
packet number space, whereas those associated with transferring data
can only appear in the application data packet number space:
* PADDING, PING, and CRYPTO frames MAY appear in any packet number
space.
* CONNECTION_CLOSE frames signaling errors at the QUIC layer (type
0x1c) MAY appear in any packet number space. CONNECTION_CLOSE
frames signaling application errors (type 0x1d) MUST only appear
in the application data packet number space.
* ACK frames MAY appear in any packet number space, but can only
acknowledge packets which appeared in that packet number space.
However, as noted below, 0-RTT packets cannot contain ACK frames.
* All other frame types MUST only be sent in the application data
packet number space.
Note that it is not possible to send the following frames in 0-RTT
packets for various reasons: ACK, CRYPTO, HANDSHAKE_DONE, NEW_TOKEN,
PATH_RESPONSE, and RETIRE_CONNECTION_ID. A server MAY treat receipt
of these frames in 0-RTT packets as a connection error of type
PROTOCOL_VIOLATION.
Because packets could be reordered on the wire, QUIC uses the packet
type to indicate which keys were used to protect a given packet, as
shown in Table 1. When packets of different types need to be sent,
endpoints SHOULD use coalesced packets to send them in the same UDP
datagram.

Table 1: Encryption Keys by Packet Type
Section 17 of [QUIC-TRANSPORT] shows how packets at the various
encryption levels fit into the handshake process.
4.1. Interface to TLS
As shown in Figure 4, the interface from QUIC to TLS consists of four
primary functions:
* Sending and receiving handshake messages
* Processing stored transport and application state from a resumed
session and determining if it is valid to accept early data
* Rekeying (both transmit and receive)
* Handshake state updates
Additional functions might be needed to configure TLS.
4.1.1. Handshake Complete
In this document, the TLS handshake is considered complete when the
TLS stack has reported that the handshake is complete. This happens
when the TLS stack has both sent a Finished message and verified the
peer's Finished message. Verifying the peer's Finished provides the
endpoints with an assurance that previous handshake messages have not
been modified. Note that the handshake does not complete at both
endpoints simultaneously. Consequently, any requirement that is
based on the completion of the handshake depends on the perspective
of the endpoint in question.
Thomson & Turner Expires 21 November 2020 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft Using TLS to Secure QUIC May 2020
4.1.2. Handshake Confirmed
In this document, the TLS handshake is considered confirmed at the
server when the handshake completes. At the client, the handshake is
considered confirmed when a HANDSHAKE_DONE frame is received.
A client MAY consider the handshake to be confirmed when it receives
an acknowledgement for a 1-RTT packet. This can be implemented by
recording the lowest packet number sent with 1-RTT keys, and
comparing it to the Largest Acknowledged field in any received 1-RTT
ACK frame: once the latter is greater than or equal to the former,
the handshake is confirmed.
4.1.3. Sending and Receiving Handshake Messages
In order to drive the handshake, TLS depends on being able to send
and receive handshake messages. There are two basic functions on
this interface: one where QUIC requests handshake messages and one
where QUIC provides handshake packets.
Before starting the handshake QUIC provides TLS with the transport
parameters (see Section 8.2) that it wishes to carry.
A QUIC client starts TLS by requesting TLS handshake bytes from TLS.
The client acquires handshake bytes before sending its first packet.
A QUIC server starts the process by providing TLS with the client's
handshake bytes.
At any time, the TLS stack at an endpoint will have a current sending
encryption level and receiving encryption level. Encryption levels
determine the packet type and keys that are used for protecting data.
Each encryption level is associated with a different sequence of
bytes, which is reliably transmitted to the peer in CRYPTO frames.
When TLS provides handshake bytes to be sent, they are appended to
the current flow. Any packet that includes the CRYPTO frame is
protected using keys from the corresponding encryption level. Four
encryption levels are used, producing keys for Initial, 0-RTT,
Handshake, and 1-RTT packets. CRYPTO frames are carried in just
three of these levels, omitting the 0-RTT level. These four levels
correspond to three packet number spaces: Initial and Handshake
encrypted packets use their own separate spaces; 0-RTT and 1-RTT
packets use the application data packet number space.
QUIC takes the unprotected content of TLS handshake records as the
content of CRYPTO frames. TLS record protection is not used by QUIC.
QUIC assembles CRYPTO frames into QUIC packets, which are protected
using QUIC packet protection.
Thomson & Turner Expires 21 November 2020 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft Using TLS to Secure QUIC May 2020
QUIC is only capable of conveying TLS handshake records in CRYPTO
frames. TLS alerts are turned into QUIC CONNECTION_CLOSE error
codes; see Section 4.10. TLS application data and other message
types cannot be carried by QUIC at any encryption level and is an
error if they are received from the TLS stack.
When an endpoint receives a QUIC packet containing a CRYPTO frame
from the network, it proceeds as follows:
* If the packet was in the TLS receiving encryption level, sequence
the data into the input flow as usual. As with STREAM frames, the
offset is used to find the proper location in the data sequence.
If the result of this process is that new data is available, then
it is delivered to TLS in order.
* If the packet is from a previously installed encryption level, it
MUST NOT contain data which extends past the end of previously
received data in that flow. Implementations MUST treat any
violations of this requirement as a connection error of type
PROTOCOL_VIOLATION.
* If the packet is from a new encryption level, it is saved for
later processing by TLS. Once TLS moves to receiving from this
encryption level, saved data can be provided. When providing data
from any new encryption level to TLS, if there is data from a
previous encryption level that TLS has not consumed, this MUST be
treated as a connection error of type PROTOCOL_VIOLATION.
Each time that TLS is provided with new data, new handshake bytes are
requested from TLS. TLS might not provide any bytes if the handshake
messages it has received are incomplete or it has no data to send.
Once the TLS handshake is complete, this is indicated to QUIC along
with any final handshake bytes that TLS needs to send. TLS also
provides QUIC with the transport parameters that the peer advertised
during the handshake.
Once the handshake is complete, TLS becomes passive. TLS can still
receive data from its peer and respond in kind, but it will not need
to send more data unless specifically requested - either by an
application or QUIC. One reason to send data is that the server
might wish to provide additional or updated session tickets to a
client.
When the handshake is complete, QUIC only needs to provide TLS with
any data that arrives in CRYPTO streams. In the same way that is
done during the handshake, new data is requested from TLS after
providing received data.

Internet-Draft Using TLS to Secure QUIC May 2020
4.1.4. Encryption Level Changes
As keys for new encryption levels become available, TLS provides QUIC
with those keys. Separately, as keys at a given encryption level
become available to TLS, TLS indicates to QUIC that reading or
writing keys at that encryption level are available. These events
are not asynchronous; they always occur immediately after TLS is
provided with new handshake bytes, or after TLS produces handshake
bytes.
TLS provides QUIC with three items as a new encryption level becomes
available:
* A secret
* An Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data (AEAD) function
* A Key Derivation Function (KDF)
These values are based on the values that TLS negotiates and are used
by QUIC to generate packet and header protection keys (see Section 5
and Section 5.4).
If 0-RTT is possible, it is ready after the client sends a TLS
ClientHello message or the server receives that message. After
providing a QUIC client with the first handshake bytes, the TLS stack
might signal the change to 0-RTT keys. On the server, after
receiving handshake bytes that contain a ClientHello message, a TLS
server might signal that 0-RTT keys are available.
Although TLS only uses one encryption level at a time, QUIC may use
more than one level. For instance, after sending its Finished
message (using a CRYPTO frame at the Handshake encryption level) an
endpoint can send STREAM data (in 1-RTT encryption). If the Finished
message is lost, the endpoint uses the Handshake encryption level to
retransmit the lost message. Reordering or loss of packets can mean
that QUIC will need to handle packets at multiple encryption levels.
During the handshake, this means potentially handling packets at
higher and lower encryption levels than the current encryption level
used by TLS.
In particular, server implementations need to be able to read packets
at the Handshake encryption level at the same time as the 0-RTT
encryption level. A client could interleave ACK frames that are
protected with Handshake keys with 0-RTT data and the server needs to
process those acknowledgments in order to detect lost Handshake
packets.
Thomson & Turner Expires 21 November 2020 [Page 13]
Internet-Draft Using TLS to Secure QUIC May 2020
QUIC also needs access to keys that might not ordinarily be available
to a TLS implementation. For instance, a client might need to
acknowledge Handshake packets before it is ready to send CRYPTO
frames at that encryption level. TLS therefore needs to provide keys
to QUIC before it might produce them for its own use.

Internet-Draft Using TLS to Secure QUIC May 2020
Figure 5 shows the multiple packets that form a single "flight" of
messages being processed individually, to show what incoming messages
trigger different actions. New handshake messages are requested
after all incoming packets have been processed. This process might
vary depending on how QUIC implementations and the packets they
receive are structured.
4.2. TLS Version
This document describes how TLS 1.3 [TLS13] is used with QUIC.
In practice, the TLS handshake will negotiate a version of TLS to
use. This could result in a newer version of TLS than 1.3 being
negotiated if both endpoints support that version. This is
acceptable provided that the features of TLS 1.3 that are used by
QUIC are supported by the newer version.
A badly configured TLS implementation could negotiate TLS 1.2 or
another older version of TLS. An endpoint MUST terminate the
connection if a version of TLS older than 1.3 is negotiated.
4.3. ClientHello Size
The first Initial packet from a client contains the start or all of
its first cryptographic handshake message, which for TLS is the
ClientHello. Servers might need to parse the entire ClientHello
(e.g., to access extensions such as Server Name Identification (SNI)
or Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN)) in order to decide
whether to accept the new incoming QUIC connection. If the
ClientHello spans multiple Initial packets, such servers would need
to buffer the first received fragments, which could consume excessive
resources if the client's address has not yet been validated. To
avoid this, servers MAY use the Retry feature (see Section 8.1 of
[QUIC-TRANSPORT]) to only buffer partial ClientHello messages from
clients with a validated address.
QUIC packet and framing add at least 36 bytes of overhead to the
ClientHello message. That overhead increases if the client chooses a
connection ID without zero length. Overheads also do not include the
token or a connection ID longer than 8 bytes, both of which might be
required if a server sends a Retry packet.
Thomson & Turner Expires 21 November 2020 [Page 15]
Internet-Draft Using TLS to Secure QUIC May 2020
A typical TLS ClientHello can easily fit into a 1200 byte packet.
However, in addition to the overheads added by QUIC, there are
several variables that could cause this limit to be exceeded. Large
session tickets, multiple or large key shares, and long lists of
supported ciphers, signature algorithms, versions, QUIC transport
parameters, and other negotiable parameters and extensions could
cause this message to grow.
For servers, in addition to connection IDs and tokens, the size of
TLS session tickets can have an effect on a client's ability to
connect efficiently. Minimizing the size of these values increases
the probability that clients can use them and still fit their
ClientHello message in their first Initial packet.
The TLS implementation does not need to ensure that the ClientHello
is sufficiently large. QUIC PADDING frames are added to increase the
size of the packet as necessary.
4.4. Peer Authentication
The requirements for authentication depend on the application
protocol that is in use. TLS provides server authentication and
permits the server to request client authentication.
A client MUST authenticate the identity of the server. This
typically involves verification that the identity of the server is
included in a certificate and that the certificate is issued by a
trusted entity (see for example [RFC2818]).
A server MAY request that the client authenticate during the
handshake. A server MAY refuse a connection if the client is unable
to authenticate when requested. The requirements for client
authentication vary based on application protocol and deployment.
A server MUST NOT use post-handshake client authentication (as
defined in Section 4.6.2 of [TLS13]), because the multiplexing
offered by QUIC prevents clients from correlating the certificate
request with the application-level event that triggered it (see
[HTTP2-TLS13]). More specifically, servers MUST NOT send post-
handshake TLS CertificateRequest messages and clients MUST treat
receipt of such messages as a connection error of type
PROTOCOL_VIOLATION.
Thomson & Turner Expires 21 November 2020 [Page 16]
Internet-Draft Using TLS to Secure QUIC May 2020
4.5. Session Resumption
QUIC can use the session resumption feature of TLS 1.3. It does this
by carrying NewSessionTicket messages in CRYPTO frames after the
handshake is complete. Session resumption is the basis of 0-RTT, but
can be used without also enabling 0-RTT.
Endpoints that use session resumption might need to remember some
information about the current connection when creating a resumed
connection. TLS requires that some information be retained; see
Section 4.6.1 of [TLS13]. QUIC itself does not depend on any state
being retained when resuming a connection, unless 0-RTT is also used;
see Section 4.6 and Section 7.3.1 of [QUIC-TRANSPORT]. Application
protocols could depend on state that is retained between resumed
connections.
Clients can store any state required for resumption along with the
session ticket. Servers can use the session ticket to help carry
state.
Session resumption allows servers to link activity on the original
connection with the resumed connection, which might be a privacy
issue for clients. Clients can choose not to enable resumption to
avoid creating this correlation. Client SHOULD NOT reuse tickets as
that allows entities other than the server to correlate connections;
see Section C.4 of [TLS13].
4.6. Enabling 0-RTT
To communicate their willingness to process 0-RTT data, servers send
a NewSessionTicket message that contains the "early_data" extension
with a max_early_data_size of 0xffffffff; the amount of data which
the client can send in 0-RTT is controlled by the "initial_max_data"
transport parameter supplied by the server. Servers MUST NOT send
the "early_data" extension with a max_early_data_size set to any
value other than 0xffffffff. A client MUST treat receipt of a
NewSessionTicket that contains an "early_data" extension with any
other value as a connection error of type PROTOCOL_VIOLATION.
A client that wishes to send 0-RTT packets uses the "early_data"
extension in the ClientHello message of a subsequent handshake (see
Section 4.2.10 of [TLS13]). It then sends the application data in
0-RTT packets.
Thomson & Turner Expires 21 November 2020 [Page 17]
Internet-Draft Using TLS to Secure QUIC May 2020
4.7. Accepting and Rejecting 0-RTT
A server accepts 0-RTT by sending an early_data extension in the
EncryptedExtensions (see Section 4.2.10 of [TLS13]). The server then
processes and acknowledges the 0-RTT packets that it receives.
A server rejects 0-RTT by sending the EncryptedExtensions without an
early_data extension. A server will always reject 0-RTT if it sends
a TLS HelloRetryRequest. When rejecting 0-RTT, a server MUST NOT
process any 0-RTT packets, even if it could. When 0-RTT was
rejected, a client SHOULD treat receipt of an acknowledgement for a
0-RTT packet as a connection error of type PROTOCOL_VIOLATION, if it
is able to detect the condition.
When 0-RTT is rejected, all connection characteristics that the
client assumed might be incorrect. This includes the choice of
application protocol, transport parameters, and any application
configuration. The client therefore MUST reset the state of all
streams, including application state bound to those streams.
A client MAY attempt to send 0-RTT again if it receives a Retry or
Version Negotiation packet. These packets do not signify rejection
of 0-RTT.
4.8. Validating 0-RTT Configuration
When a server receives a ClientHello with the "early_data" extension,
it has to decide whether to accept or reject early data from the
client. Some of this decision is made by the TLS stack (e.g.,
checking that the cipher suite being resumed was included in the
ClientHello; see Section 4.2.10 of [TLS13]). Even when the TLS stack
has no reason to reject early data, the QUIC stack or the application
protocol using QUIC might reject early data because the configuration
of the transport or application associated with the resumed session
is not compatible with the server's current configuration.
QUIC requires additional transport state to be associated with a
0-RTT session ticket. One common way to implement this is using
stateless session tickets and storing this state in the session
ticket. Application protocols that use QUIC might have similar
requirements regarding associating or storing state. This associated
state is used for deciding whether early data must be rejected. For
example, HTTP/3 ([QUIC-HTTP]) settings determine how early data from
the client is interpreted. Other applications using QUIC could have
different requirements for determining whether to accept or reject
early data.
Thomson & Turner Expires 21 November 2020 [Page 18]
Internet-Draft Using TLS to Secure QUIC May 2020
4.9. HelloRetryRequest
In TLS over TCP, the HelloRetryRequest feature (see Section 4.1.4 of
[TLS13]) can be used to correct a client's incorrect KeyShare
extension as well as for a stateless round-trip check. From the
perspective of QUIC, this just looks like additional messages carried
in Initial packets. Although it is in principle possible to use this
feature for address verification in QUIC, QUIC implementations SHOULD
instead use the Retry feature (see Section 8.1 of [QUIC-TRANSPORT]).
HelloRetryRequest is still used to request key shares.
4.10. TLS Errors
If TLS experiences an error, it generates an appropriate alert as
defined in Section 6 of [TLS13].
A TLS alert is converted into a QUIC connection error. The alert
description is added to 0x100 to produce a QUIC error code from the
range reserved for CRYPTO_ERROR. The resulting value is sent in a
QUIC CONNECTION_CLOSE frame of type 0x1c.
The alert level of all TLS alerts is "fatal"; a TLS stack MUST NOT
generate alerts at the "warning" level.
QUIC permits the use of a generic code in place of a specific error
code; see Section 11 of [QUIC-TRANSPORT]. For TLS alerts, this
includes replacing any alert with a generic alert, such as
handshake_failure (0x128 in QUIC). Endpoints MAY use a generic error
code to avoid possibly exposing confidential information.
4.11. Discarding Unused Keys
After QUIC moves to a new encryption level, packet protection keys
for previous encryption levels can be discarded. This occurs several
times during the handshake, as well as when keys are updated; see
Section 6.
Packet protection keys are not discarded immediately when new keys
are available. If packets from a lower encryption level contain
CRYPTO frames, frames that retransmit that data MUST be sent at the
same encryption level. Similarly, an endpoint generates
acknowledgements for packets at the same encryption level as the
packet being acknowledged. Thus, it is possible that keys for a
lower encryption level are needed for a short time after keys for a
newer encryption level are available.
Thomson & Turner Expires 21 November 2020 [Page 19]
Internet-Draft Using TLS to Secure QUIC May 2020
An endpoint cannot discard keys for a given encryption level unless
it has both received and acknowledged all CRYPTO frames for that
encryption level and when all CRYPTO frames for that encryption level
have been acknowledged by its peer. However, this does not guarantee
that no further packets will need to be received or sent at that
encryption level because a peer might not have received all the
acknowledgements necessary to reach the same state.
Though an endpoint might retain older keys, new data MUST be sent at
the highest currently-available encryption level. Only ACK frames
and retransmissions of data in CRYPTO frames are sent at a previous
encryption level. These packets MAY also include PADDING frames.
4.11.1. Discarding Initial Keys
Packets protected with Initial secrets (Section 5.2) are not
authenticated, meaning that an attacker could spoof packets with the
intent to disrupt a connection. To limit these attacks, Initial
packet protection keys can be discarded more aggressively than other
keys.
The successful use of Handshake packets indicates that no more
Initial packets need to be exchanged, as these keys can only be
produced after receiving all CRYPTO frames from Initial packets.
Thus, a client MUST discard Initial keys when it first sends a
Handshake packet and a server MUST discard Initial keys when it first
successfully processes a Handshake packet. Endpoints MUST NOT send
Initial packets after this point.
This results in abandoning loss recovery state for the Initial
encryption level and ignoring any outstanding Initial packets.
4.11.2. Discarding Handshake Keys
An endpoint MUST discard its handshake keys when the TLS handshake is
confirmed (Section 4.1.2). The server MUST send a HANDSHAKE_DONE
frame as soon as it completes the handshake.
4.11.3. Discarding 0-RTT Keys
0-RTT and 1-RTT packets share the same packet number space, and
clients do not send 0-RTT packets after sending a 1-RTT packet
(Section 5.6).
Therefore, a client SHOULD discard 0-RTT keys as soon as it installs
1-RTT keys, since they have no use after that moment.
Thomson & Turner Expires 21 November 2020 [Page 20]
Internet-Draft Using TLS to Secure QUIC May 2020
Additionally, a server MAY discard 0-RTT keys as soon as it receives
a 1-RTT packet. However, due to packet reordering, a 0-RTT packet
could arrive after a 1-RTT packet. Servers MAY temporarily retain
0-RTT keys to allow decrypting reordered packets without requiring
their contents to be retransmitted with 1-RTT keys. After receiving
a 1-RTT packet, servers MUST discard 0-RTT keys within a short time;
the RECOMMENDED time period is three times the Probe Timeout (PTO,
see [QUIC-RECOVERY]). A server MAY discard 0-RTT keys earlier if it
determines that it has received all 0-RTT packets, which can be done
by keeping track of missing packet numbers.
5. Packet Protection
As with TLS over TCP, QUIC protects packets with keys derived from
the TLS handshake, using the AEAD algorithm negotiated by TLS.
5.1. Packet Protection Keys
QUIC derives packet protection keys in the same way that TLS derives
record protection keys.
Each encryption level has separate secret values for protection of
packets sent in each direction. These traffic secrets are derived by
TLS (see Section 7.1 of [TLS13]) and are used by QUIC for all
encryption levels except the Initial encryption level. The secrets
for the Initial encryption level are computed based on the client's
initial Destination Connection ID, as described in Section 5.2.
The keys used for packet protection are computed from the TLS secrets
using the KDF provided by TLS. In TLS 1.3, the HKDF-Expand-Label
function described in Section 7.1 of [TLS13] is used, using the hash
function from the negotiated cipher suite. Other versions of TLS
MUST provide a similar function in order to be used with QUIC.
The current encryption level secret and the label "quic key" are
input to the KDF to produce the AEAD key; the label "quic iv" is used
to derive the IV; see Section 5.3. The header protection key uses
the "quic hp" label; see Section 5.4. Using these labels provides
key separation between QUIC and TLS; see Section 9.6.
The KDF used for initial secrets is always the HKDF-Expand-Label
function from TLS 1.3 (see Section 5.2).
5.2. Initial Secrets
Initial packets are protected with a secret derived from the
Destination Connection ID field from the client's Initial packet.
Specifically:
Thomson & Turner Expires 21 November 2020 [Page 21]
Internet-Draft Using TLS to Secure QUIC May 2020
initial_salt = 0xc3eef712c72ebb5a11a7d2432bb46365bef9f502
initial_secret = HKDF-Extract(initial_salt,
client_dst_connection_id)
client_initial_secret = HKDF-Expand-Label(initial_secret,
"client in", "",
Hash.length)
server_initial_secret = HKDF-Expand-Label(initial_secret,
"server in", "",
Hash.length)
The hash function for HKDF when deriving initial secrets and keys is
SHA-256 [SHA].
The connection ID used with HKDF-Expand-Label is the Destination
Connection ID in the Initial packet sent by the client. This will be
a randomly-selected value unless the client creates the Initial
packet after receiving a Retry packet, where the Destination
Connection ID is selected by the server.
The value of initial_salt is a 20 byte sequence shown in the figure
in hexadecimal notation. Future versions of QUIC SHOULD generate a
new salt value, thus ensuring that the keys are different for each
version of QUIC. This prevents a middlebox that only recognizes one
version of QUIC from seeing or modifying the contents of packets from
future versions.
The HKDF-Expand-Label function defined in TLS 1.3 MUST be used for
Initial packets even where the TLS versions offered do not include
TLS 1.3.
The secrets used for protecting Initial packets change when a server
sends a Retry packet to use the connection ID value selected by the
server. The secrets do not change when a client changes the
Destination Connection ID it uses in response to an Initial packet
from the server.
Note: The Destination Connection ID is of arbitrary length, and it
could be zero length if the server sends a Retry packet with a
zero-length Source Connection ID field. In this case, the Initial
keys provide no assurance to the client that the server received
its packet; the client has to rely on the exchange that included
the Retry packet for that property.
Appendix A contains test vectors for packet encryption.
Thomson & Turner Expires 21 November 2020 [Page 22]
Internet-Draft Using TLS to Secure QUIC May 2020
5.3. AEAD Usage
The Authentication Encryption with Associated Data (AEAD) [AEAD]
function used for QUIC packet protection is the AEAD that is
negotiated for use with the TLS connection. For example, if TLS is
using the TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256, the AEAD_AES_128_GCM function is
used.
Packets are protected prior to applying header protection
(Section 5.4). The unprotected packet header is part of the
associated data (A). When removing packet protection, an endpoint
first removes the header protection.
All QUIC packets other than Version Negotiation and Retry packets are
protected with an AEAD algorithm [AEAD]. Prior to establishing a
shared secret, packets are protected with AEAD_AES_128_GCM and a key
derived from the Destination Connection ID in the client's first
Initial packet (see Section 5.2). This provides protection against
off-path attackers and robustness against QUIC version unaware
middleboxes, but not against on-path attackers.
QUIC can use any of the ciphersuites defined in [TLS13] with the
exception of TLS_AES_128_CCM_8_SHA256. A ciphersuite MUST NOT be
negotiated unless a header protection scheme is defined for the
ciphersuite. This document defines a header protection scheme for
all ciphersuites defined in [TLS13] aside from
TLS_AES_128_CCM_8_SHA256. These ciphersuites have a 16-byte
authentication tag and produce an output 16 bytes larger than their
input.
Note: An endpoint MUST NOT reject a ClientHello that offers a
ciphersuite that it does not support, or it would be impossible to
deploy a new ciphersuite. This also applies to
TLS_AES_128_CCM_8_SHA256.
The key and IV for the packet are computed as described in
Section 5.1. The nonce, N, is formed by combining the packet
protection IV with the packet number. The 62 bits of the
reconstructed QUIC packet number in network byte order are left-
padded with zeros to the size of the IV. The exclusive OR of the
padded packet number and the IV forms the AEAD nonce.
The associated data, A, for the AEAD is the contents of the QUIC
header, starting from the flags byte in either the short or long
header, up to and including the unprotected packet number.
The input plaintext, P, for the AEAD is the payload of the QUIC
packet, as described in [QUIC-TRANSPORT].
Thomson & Turner Expires 21 November 2020 [Page 23]
Internet-Draft Using TLS to Secure QUIC May 2020
The output ciphertext, C, of the AEAD is transmitted in place of P.
Some AEAD functions have limits for how many packets can be encrypted
under the same key and IV (see for example [AEBounds]). This might
be lower than the packet number limit. An endpoint MUST initiate a
key update (Section 6) prior to exceeding any limit set for the AEAD
that is in use.
5.4. Header Protection
Parts of QUIC packet headers, in particular the Packet Number field,
are protected using a key that is derived separate to the packet
protection key and IV. The key derived using the "quic hp" label is
used to provide confidentiality protection for those fields that are
not exposed to on-path elements.
This protection applies to the least-significant bits of the first
byte, plus the Packet Number field. The four least-significant bits
of the first byte are protected for packets with long headers; the
five least significant bits of the first byte are protected for
packets with short headers. For both header forms, this covers the
reserved bits and the Packet Number Length field; the Key Phase bit
is also protected for packets with a short header.
The same header protection key is used for the duration of the
connection, with the value not changing after a key update (see
Section 6). This allows header protection to be used to protect the
key phase.
This process does not apply to Retry or Version Negotiation packets,
which do not contain a protected payload or any of the fields that
are protected by this process.
5.4.1. Header Protection Application
Header protection is applied after packet protection is applied (see
Section 5.3). The ciphertext of the packet is sampled and used as
input to an encryption algorithm. The algorithm used depends on the
negotiated AEAD.
The output of this algorithm is a 5 byte mask which is applied to the
protected header fields using exclusive OR. The least significant
bits of the first byte of the packet are masked by the least
significant bits of the first mask byte, and the packet number is
masked with the remaining bytes. Any unused bytes of mask that might
result from a shorter packet number encoding are unused.
Thomson & Turner Expires 21 November 2020 [Page 24]

Figure 6 shows a sample algorithm for applying header protection.
Removing header protection only differs in the order in which the
packet number length (pn_length) is determined.
mask = header_protection(hp_key, sample)
pn_length = (packet[0] & 0x03) + 1
if (packet[0] & 0x80) == 0x80:
# Long header: 4 bits masked
packet[0] ^= mask[0] & 0x0f
else:
# Short header: 5 bits masked
packet[0] ^= mask[0] & 0x1f
# pn_offset is the start of the Packet Number field.
packet[pn_offset:pn_offset+pn_length] ^= mask[1:1+pn_length]

header packet. Figure 7 shows the fields in each header that are

Figure 7: Header Protection and Ciphertext Sample
Before a TLS ciphersuite can be used with QUIC, a header protection
algorithm MUST be specified for the AEAD used with that ciphersuite.
This document defines algorithms for AEAD_AES_128_GCM,
AEAD_AES_128_CCM, AEAD_AES_256_GCM (all AES AEADs are defined in
[AEAD]), and AEAD_CHACHA20_POLY1305 [CHACHA]. Prior to TLS selecting
a ciphersuite, AES header protection is used (Section 5.4.3),
matching the AEAD_AES_128_GCM packet protection.
5.4.2. Header Protection Sample
The header protection algorithm uses both the header protection key
and a sample of the ciphertext from the packet Payload field.
Thomson & Turner Expires 21 November 2020 [Page 26]
Internet-Draft Using TLS to Secure QUIC May 2020
The same number of bytes are always sampled, but an allowance needs
to be made for the endpoint removing protection, which will not know
the length of the Packet Number field. In sampling the packet
ciphertext, the Packet Number field is assumed to be 4 bytes long
(its maximum possible encoded length).
An endpoint MUST discard packets that are not long enough to contain
a complete sample.
To ensure that sufficient data is available for sampling, packets are
padded so that the combined lengths of the encoded packet number and
protected payload is at least 4 bytes longer than the sample required
for header protection. The ciphersuites defined in [TLS13] - other
than TLS_AES_128_CCM_8_SHA256, for which a header protection scheme
is not defined in this document - have 16-byte expansions and 16-byte
header protection samples. This results in needing at least 3 bytes
of frames in the unprotected payload if the packet number is encoded
on a single byte, or 2 bytes of frames for a 2-byte packet number
encoding.
The sampled ciphertext for a packet with a short header can be
determined by the following pseudocode:
sample_offset = 1 + len(connection_id) + 4
sample = packet[sample_offset..sample_offset+sample_length]
For example, for a packet with a short header, an 8 byte connection
ID, and protected with AEAD_AES_128_GCM, the sample takes bytes 13 to
28 inclusive (using zero-based indexing).
A packet with a long header is sampled in the same way, noting that
multiple QUIC packets might be included in the same UDP datagram and
that each one is handled separately.
sample_offset = 7 + len(destination_connection_id) +
len(source_connection_id) +
len(payload_length) + 4
if packet_type == Initial:
sample_offset += len(token_length) +
len(token)
sample = packet[sample_offset..sample_offset+sample_length]

5.4.3. AES-Based Header Protection
This section defines the packet protection algorithm for
AEAD_AES_128_GCM, AEAD_AES_128_CCM, and AEAD_AES_256_GCM.
AEAD_AES_128_GCM and AEAD_AES_128_CCM use 128-bit AES [AES] in
electronic code-book (ECB) mode. AEAD_AES_256_GCM uses 256-bit AES
in ECB mode.
This algorithm samples 16 bytes from the packet ciphertext. This
value is used as the input to AES-ECB. In pseudocode:
mask = AES-ECB(hp_key, sample)
5.4.4. ChaCha20-Based Header Protection
When AEAD_CHACHA20_POLY1305 is in use, header protection uses the raw
ChaCha20 function as defined in Section 2.4 of [CHACHA]. This uses a
256-bit key and 16 bytes sampled from the packet protection output.
The first 4 bytes of the sampled ciphertext are the block counter. A
ChaCha20 implementation could take a 32-bit integer in place of a
byte sequence, in which case the byte sequence is interpreted as a
little-endian value.
The remaining 12 bytes are used as the nonce. A ChaCha20
implementation might take an array of three 32-bit integers in place
of a byte sequence, in which case the nonce bytes are interpreted as
a sequence of 32-bit little-endian integers.
The encryption mask is produced by invoking ChaCha20 to protect 5
zero bytes. In pseudocode:
counter = sample[0..3]
nonce = sample[4..15]
mask = ChaCha20(hp_key, counter, nonce, {0,0,0,0,0})
5.5. Receiving Protected Packets
Once an endpoint successfully receives a packet with a given packet
number, it MUST discard all packets in the same packet number space
with higher packet numbers if they cannot be successfully unprotected
with either the same key, or - if there is a key update - the next
packet protection key (see Section 6). Similarly, a packet that
appears to trigger a key update, but cannot be unprotected
successfully MUST be discarded.
Thomson & Turner Expires 21 November 2020 [Page 28]
Internet-Draft Using TLS to Secure QUIC May 2020
Failure to unprotect a packet does not necessarily indicate the
existence of a protocol error in a peer or an attack. The truncated
packet number encoding used in QUIC can cause packet numbers to be
decoded incorrectly if they are delayed significantly.
5.6. Use of 0-RTT Keys
If 0-RTT keys are available (see Section 4.6), the lack of replay
protection means that restrictions on their use are necessary to
avoid replay attacks on the protocol.
A client MUST only use 0-RTT keys to protect data that is idempotent.
A client MAY wish to apply additional restrictions on what data it
sends prior to the completion of the TLS handshake. A client
otherwise treats 0-RTT keys as equivalent to 1-RTT keys, except that
it MUST NOT send ACKs with 0-RTT keys.
A client that receives an indication that its 0-RTT data has been
accepted by a server can send 0-RTT data until it receives all of the
server's handshake messages. A client SHOULD stop sending 0-RTT data
if it receives an indication that 0-RTT data has been rejected.
A server MUST NOT use 0-RTT keys to protect packets; it uses 1-RTT
keys to protect acknowledgements of 0-RTT packets. A client MUST NOT
attempt to decrypt 0-RTT packets it receives and instead MUST discard
them.
Once a client has installed 1-RTT keys, it MUST NOT send any more
0-RTT packets.
Note: 0-RTT data can be acknowledged by the server as it receives
it, but any packets containing acknowledgments of 0-RTT data
cannot have packet protection removed by the client until the TLS
handshake is complete. The 1-RTT keys necessary to remove packet
protection cannot be derived until the client receives all server
handshake messages.
5.7. Receiving Out-of-Order Protected Frames
Due to reordering and loss, protected packets might be received by an
endpoint before the final TLS handshake messages are received. A
client will be unable to decrypt 1-RTT packets from the server,
whereas a server will be able to decrypt 1-RTT packets from the
client. Endpoints in either role MUST NOT decrypt 1-RTT packets from
their peer prior to completing the handshake.
Thomson & Turner Expires 21 November 2020 [Page 29]
Internet-Draft Using TLS to Secure QUIC May 2020
Even though 1-RTT keys are available to a server after receiving the
first handshake messages from a client, it is missing assurances on
the client state:
* The client is not authenticated, unless the server has chosen to
use a pre-shared key and validated the client's pre-shared key
binder; see Section 4.2.11 of [TLS13].
* The client has not demonstrated liveness, unless a RETRY packet
was used.
* Any received 0-RTT data that the server responds to might be due
to a replay attack.
Therefore, the server's use of 1-RTT keys MUST be limited to sending
data before the handshake is complete. A server MUST NOT process
incoming 1-RTT protected packets before the TLS handshake is
complete. Because sending acknowledgments indicates that all frames
in a packet have been processed, a server cannot send acknowledgments
for 1-RTT packets until the TLS handshake is complete. Received
packets protected with 1-RTT keys MAY be stored and later decrypted
and used once the handshake is complete.
Note: TLS implementations might provide all 1-RTT secrets prior to
handshake completion. Even where QUIC implementations have 1-RTT
read keys, those keys cannot be used prior to completing the
handshake.
The requirement for the server to wait for the client Finished
message creates a dependency on that message being delivered. A
client can avoid the potential for head-of-line blocking that this
implies by sending its 1-RTT packets coalesced with a handshake
packet containing a copy of the CRYPTO frame that carries the
Finished message, until one of the handshake packets is acknowledged.
This enables immediate server processing for those packets.
A server could receive packets protected with 0-RTT keys prior to
receiving a TLS ClientHello. The server MAY retain these packets for
later decryption in anticipation of receiving a ClientHello.
5.8. Retry Packet Integrity
Retry packets (see the Retry Packet section of [QUIC-TRANSPORT])
carry a Retry Integrity Tag that provides two properties: it allows
discarding packets that have accidentally been corrupted by the
network, and it diminishes off-path attackers' ability to send valid
Retry packets.
Thomson & Turner Expires 21 November 2020 [Page 30]
Internet-Draft Using TLS to Secure QUIC May 2020
The Retry Integrity Tag is a 128-bit field that is computed as the
output of AEAD_AES_128_GCM [AEAD] used with the following inputs:
* The secret key, K, is 128 bits equal to
0x4d32ecdb2a2133c841e4043df27d4430.
* The nonce, N, is 96 bits equal to 0x4d1611d05513a552c587d575.
* The plaintext, P, is empty.
* The associated data, A, is the contents of the Retry Pseudo-
Packet, as illustrated in Figure 8:
The secret key and the nonce are values derived by calling HKDF-
Expand-Label using
0x656e61e336ae9417f7f0edd8d78d461e2aa7084aba7a14c1e9f726d55709169a as
the secret, with labels being "quic key" and "quic iv" (Section 5.1).

Original Destination Connection ID (0..160),
Header Form (1) = 1,
Fixed Bit (1) = 1,

}
Figure 8: Retry Pseudo-Packet
The Retry Pseudo-Packet is not sent over the wire. It is computed by
taking the transmitted Retry packet, removing the Retry Integrity Tag
and prepending the two following fields:
ODCID Length: The ODCID Len contains the length in bytes of the
Original Destination Connection ID field that follows it, encoded
as an 8-bit unsigned integer.
Original Destination Connection ID: The Original Destination
Connection ID contains the value of the Destination Connection ID
from the Initial packet that this Retry is in response to. The
length of this field is given in ODCID Len. The presence of this
field mitigates an off-path attacker's ability to inject a Retry
packet.

Internet-Draft Using TLS to Secure QUIC May 2020
6. Key Update
Once the handshake is confirmed (see Section 4.1.2), an endpoint MAY
initiate a key update.
The Key Phase bit indicates which packet protection keys are used to
protect the packet. The Key Phase bit is initially set to 0 for the
first set of 1-RTT packets and toggled to signal each subsequent key
update.
The Key Phase bit allows a recipient to detect a change in keying
material without needing to receive the first packet that triggered
the change. An endpoint that notices a changed Key Phase bit updates
keys and decrypts the packet that contains the changed value.
This mechanism replaces the TLS KeyUpdate message. Endpoints MUST
NOT send a TLS KeyUpdate message. Endpoints MUST treat the receipt
of a TLS KeyUpdate message as a connection error of type 0x10a,
equivalent to a fatal TLS alert of unexpected_message (see
Section 4.10).
Figure 9 shows a key update process, where the initial set of keys
used (identified with @M) are replaced by updated keys (identified
with @N). The value of the Key Phase bit is indicated in brackets
[].

Internet-Draft Using TLS to Secure QUIC May 2020
6.1. Initiating a Key Update
Endpoints maintain separate read and write secrets for packet
protection. An endpoint initiates a key update by updating its
packet protection write secret and using that to protect new packets.
The endpoint creates a new write secret from the existing write
secret as performed in Section 7.2 of [TLS13]. This uses the KDF
function provided by TLS with a label of "quic ku". The
corresponding key and IV are created from that secret as defined in
Section 5.1. The header protection key is not updated.
For example, to update write keys with TLS 1.3, HKDF-Expand-Label is
used as:
secret_<n+1> = HKDF-Expand-Label(secret_<n>, "quic ku",
"", Hash.length)
The endpoint toggles the value of the Key Phase bit and uses the
updated key and IV to protect all subsequent packets.
An endpoint MUST NOT initiate a key update prior to having confirmed
the handshake (Section 4.1.2). An endpoint MUST NOT initiate a
subsequent key update prior unless it has received an acknowledgment
for a packet that was sent protected with keys from the current key
phase. This ensures that keys are available to both peers before
another key update can be initiated. This can be implemented by
tracking the lowest packet number sent with each key phase, and the
highest acknowledged packet number in the 1-RTT space: once the
latter is higher than or equal to the former, another key update can
be initiated.
Note: Keys of packets other than the 1-RTT packets are never
updated; their keys are derived solely from the TLS handshake
state.
The endpoint that initiates a key update also updates the keys that
it uses for receiving packets. These keys will be needed to process
packets the peer sends after updating.
An endpoint SHOULD retain old keys so that packets sent by its peer
prior to receiving the key update can be processed. Discarding old
keys too early can cause delayed packets to be discarded. Discarding
packets will be interpreted as packet loss by the peer and could
adversely affect performance.
Thomson & Turner Expires 21 November 2020 [Page 33]
Internet-Draft Using TLS to Secure QUIC May 2020
6.2. Responding to a Key Update
A peer is permitted to initiate a key update after receiving an
acknowledgement of a packet in the current key phase. An endpoint
detects a key update when processing a packet with a key phase that
differs from the value last used to protect the last packet it sent.
To process this packet, the endpoint uses the next packet protection
key and IV. See Section 6.3 for considerations about generating
these keys.
If a packet is successfully processed using the next key and IV, then
the peer has initiated a key update. The endpoint MUST update its
send keys to the corresponding key phase in response, as described in
Section 6.1. Sending keys MUST be updated before sending an
acknowledgement for the packet that was received with updated keys.
By acknowledging the packet that triggered the key update in a packet
protected with the updated keys, the endpoint signals that the key
update is complete.
An endpoint can defer sending the packet or acknowledgement according
to its normal packet sending behaviour; it is not necessary to
immediately generate a packet in response to a key update. The next
packet sent by the endpoint will use the updated keys. The next
packet that contains an acknowledgement will cause the key update to
be completed. If an endpoint detects a second update before it has
sent any packets with updated keys containing an acknowledgement for
the packet that initiated the key update, it indicates that its peer
has updated keys twice without awaiting confirmation. An endpoint
MAY treat consecutive key updates as a connection error of type
KEY_UPDATE_ERROR.
An endpoint that receives an acknowledgement that is carried in a
packet protected with old keys where any acknowledged packet was
protected with newer keys MAY treat that as a connection error of
type KEY_UPDATE_ERROR. This indicates that a peer has received and
acknowledged a packet that initiates a key update, but has not
updated keys in response.
6.3. Timing of Receive Key Generation
Endpoints responding to an apparent key update MUST NOT generate a
timing side-channel signal that might indicate that the Key Phase bit
was invalid (see Section 9.4). Endpoints can use dummy packet
protection keys in place of discarded keys when key updates are not
yet permitted. Using dummy keys will generate no variation in the
timing signal produced by attempting to remove packet protection, and
results in all packets with an invalid Key Phase bit being rejected.
Thomson & Turner Expires 21 November 2020 [Page 34]
Internet-Draft Using TLS to Secure QUIC May 2020
The process of creating new packet protection keys for receiving
packets could reveal that a key update has occurred. An endpoint MAY
perform this process as part of packet processing, but this creates a
timing signal that can be used by an attacker to learn when key
updates happen and thus the value of the Key Phase bit in certain
packets. Endpoints MAY instead defer the creation of the next set of
receive packet protection keys until some time after a key update
completes, up to three times the PTO; see Section 6.5.
Once generated, the next set of packet protection keys SHOULD be
retained, even if the packet that was received was subsequently
discarded. Packets containing apparent key updates are easy to forge
and - while the process of key update does not require significant
effort - triggering this process could be used by an attacker for
DoS.
For this reason, endpoints MUST be able to retain two sets of packet
protection keys for receiving packets: the current and the next.
Retaining the previous keys in addition to these might improve
performance, but this is not essential.
6.4. Sending with Updated Keys
An endpoint always sends packets that are protected with the newest
keys. Keys used for packet protection can be discarded immediately
after switching to newer keys.
Packets with higher packet numbers MUST be protected with either the
same or newer packet protection keys than packets with lower packet
numbers. An endpoint that successfully removes protection with old
keys when newer keys were used for packets with lower packet numbers
MUST treat this as a connection error of type KEY_UPDATE_ERROR.
6.5. Receiving with Different Keys
For receiving packets during a key update, packets protected with
older keys might arrive if they were delayed by the network.
Retaining old packet protection keys allows these packets to be
successfully processed.
As packets protected with keys from the next key phase use the same
Key Phase value as those protected with keys from the previous key
phase, it can be necessary to distinguish between the two. This can
be done using packet numbers. A recovered packet number that is
lower than any packet number from the current key phase uses the
previous packet protection keys; a recovered packet number that is
higher than any packet number from the current key phase requires the
use of the next packet protection keys.
Thomson & Turner Expires 21 November 2020 [Page 35]
Internet-Draft Using TLS to Secure QUIC May 2020
Some care is necessary to ensure that any process for selecting
between previous, current, and next packet protection keys does not
expose a timing side channel that might reveal which keys were used
to remove packet protection. See Section 9.5 for more information.
Alternatively, endpoints can retain only two sets of packet
protection keys, swapping previous for next after enough time has
passed to allow for reordering in the network. In this case, the Key
Phase bit alone can be used to select keys.
An endpoint MAY allow a period of approximately the Probe Timeout
(PTO; see [QUIC-RECOVERY]) after a key update before it creates the
next set of packet protection keys. These updated keys MAY replace
the previous keys at that time. With the caveat that PTO is a
subjective measure - that is, a peer could have a different view of
the RTT - this time is expected to be long enough that any reordered
packets would be declared lost by a peer even if they were
acknowledged and short enough to allow for subsequent key updates.
Endpoints need to allow for the possibility that a peer might not be
able to decrypt packets that initiate a key update during the period
when it retains old keys. Endpoints SHOULD wait three times the PTO
before initiating a key update after receiving an acknowledgment that
confirms that the previous key update was received. Failing to allow
sufficient time could lead to packets being discarded.
An endpoint SHOULD retain old read keys for no more than three times
the PTO. After this period, old read keys and their corresponding
secrets SHOULD be discarded.
6.6. Key Update Frequency
Key updates MUST be initiated before usage limits on packet
protection keys are exceeded. For the cipher suites mentioned in
this document, the limits in Section 5.5 of [TLS13] apply. Other
cipher suites MUST define usage limits in order to be used with QUIC.
6.7. Key Update Error Code
The KEY_UPDATE_ERROR error code (0xE) is used to signal errors
related to key updates.
Thomson & Turner Expires 21 November 2020 [Page 36]
Internet-Draft Using TLS to Secure QUIC May 2020
7. Security of Initial Messages
Initial packets are not protected with a secret key, so they are
subject to potential tampering by an attacker. QUIC provides
protection against attackers that cannot read packets, but does not
attempt to provide additional protection against attacks where the
attacker can observe and inject packets. Some forms of tampering -
such as modifying the TLS messages themselves - are detectable, but
some - such as modifying ACKs - are not.
For example, an attacker could inject a packet containing an ACK
frame that makes it appear that a packet had not been received or to
create a false impression of the state of the connection (e.g., by
modifying the ACK Delay). Note that such a packet could cause a
legitimate packet to be dropped as a duplicate. Implementations
SHOULD use caution in relying on any data which is contained in
Initial packets that is not otherwise authenticated.
It is also possible for the attacker to tamper with data that is
carried in Handshake packets, but because that tampering requires
modifying TLS handshake messages, that tampering will cause the TLS
handshake to fail.
8. QUIC-Specific Adjustments to the TLS Handshake
QUIC uses the TLS handshake for more than just negotiation of
cryptographic parameters. The TLS handshake provides preliminary
values for QUIC transport parameters and allows a server to perform
return routability checks on clients.
8.1. Protocol Negotiation
QUIC requires that the cryptographic handshake provide authenticated
protocol negotiation. TLS uses Application Layer Protocol
Negotiation (ALPN) [ALPN] to select an application protocol. Unless
another mechanism is used for agreeing on an application protocol,
endpoints MUST use ALPN for this purpose.
When using ALPN, endpoints MUST immediately close a connection (see
Section 10.3 of [QUIC-TRANSPORT]) with a no_application_protocol TLS
alert (QUIC error code 0x178; see Section 4.10) if an application
protocol is not negotiated. While [ALPN] only specifies that servers
use this alert, QUIC clients MUST use error 0x178 to terminate a
connection when ALPN negotiation fails.
An application protocol MAY restrict the QUIC versions that it can
operate over. Servers MUST select an application protocol compatible
with the QUIC version that the client has selected. The server MUST
Thomson & Turner Expires 21 November 2020 [Page 37]
Internet-Draft Using TLS to Secure QUIC May 2020
treat the inability to select a compatible application protocol as a
connection error of type 0x178 (no_application_protocol). Similarly,
a client MUST treat the selection of an incompatible application
protocol by a server as a connection error of type 0x178.
8.2. QUIC Transport Parameters Extension
QUIC transport parameters are carried in a TLS extension. Different
versions of QUIC might define a different method for negotiating
transport configuration.
Including transport parameters in the TLS handshake provides
integrity protection for these values.
enum {
quic_transport_parameters(0xffa5), (65535)
} ExtensionType;
The extension_data field of the quic_transport_parameters extension
contains a value that is defined by the version of QUIC that is in
use.
The quic_transport_parameters extension is carried in the ClientHello
and the EncryptedExtensions messages during the handshake. Endpoints
MUST send the quic_transport_parameters extension; endpoints that
receive ClientHello or EncryptedExtensions messages without the
quic_transport_parameters extension MUST close the connection with an
error of type 0x16d (equivalent to a fatal TLS missing_extension
alert, see Section 4.10).
While the transport parameters are technically available prior to the
completion of the handshake, they cannot be fully trusted until the
handshake completes, and reliance on them should be minimized.
However, any tampering with the parameters will cause the handshake
to fail.
Endpoints MUST NOT send this extension in a TLS connection that does
not use QUIC (such as the use of TLS with TCP defined in [TLS13]). A
fatal unsupported_extension alert MUST be sent by an implementation
that supports this extension if the extension is received when the
transport is not QUIC.
8.3. Removing the EndOfEarlyData Message
The TLS EndOfEarlyData message is not used with QUIC. QUIC does not
rely on this message to mark the end of 0-RTT data or to signal the
change to Handshake keys.
Thomson & Turner Expires 21 November 2020 [Page 38]
Internet-Draft Using TLS to Secure QUIC May 2020
Clients MUST NOT send the EndOfEarlyData message. A server MUST
treat receipt of a CRYPTO frame in a 0-RTT packet as a connection
error of type PROTOCOL_VIOLATION.
As a result, EndOfEarlyData does not appear in the TLS handshake
transcript.
8.4. Prohibit TLS Middlebox Compatibility Mode
Appendix D.4 of [TLS13] describes an alteration to the TLS 1.3
handshake as a workaround for bugs in some middleboxes. The TLS 1.3
middlebox compatibility mode involves setting the legacy_session_id
field to a 32-byte value in the ClientHello and ServerHello, then
sending a change_cipher_spec record. Both field and record carry no
semantic content and are ignored.
This mode has no use in QUIC as it only applies to middleboxes that
interfere with TLS over TCP. QUIC also provides no means to carry a
change_cipher_spec record. A client MUST NOT request the use of the
TLS 1.3 compatibility mode. A server SHOULD treat the receipt of a
TLS ClientHello that with a non-empty legacy_session_id field as a
connection error of type PROTOCOL_VIOLATION.
9. Security Considerations
All of the security considerations that apply to TLS also apply to
the use of TLS in QUIC. Reading all of [TLS13] and its appendices is
the best way to gain an understanding of the security properties of
QUIC.
This section summarizes some of the more important security aspects
specific to the TLS integration, though there are many security-
relevant details in the remainder of the document.
9.1. Session Linkability
Use of TLS session tickets allows servers and possibly other entities
to correlate connections made by the same client; see Section 4.5 for
details.
9.2. Replay Attacks with 0-RTT
As described in Section 8 of [TLS13], use of TLS early data comes
with an exposure to replay attack. The use of 0-RTT in QUIC is
similarly vulnerable to replay attack.
Thomson & Turner Expires 21 November 2020 [Page 39]
Internet-Draft Using TLS to Secure QUIC May 2020
Endpoints MUST implement and use the replay protections described in
[TLS13], however it is recognized that these protections are
imperfect. Therefore, additional consideration of the risk of replay
is needed.
QUIC is not vulnerable to replay attack, except via the application
protocol information it might carry. The management of QUIC protocol
state based on the frame types defined in [QUIC-TRANSPORT] is not
vulnerable to replay. Processing of QUIC frames is idempotent and
cannot result in invalid connection states if frames are replayed,
reordered or lost. QUIC connections do not produce effects that last
beyond the lifetime of the connection, except for those produced by
the application protocol that QUIC serves.
Note: TLS session tickets and address validation tokens are used to
carry QUIC configuration information between connections. These
MUST NOT be used to carry application semantics. The potential
for reuse of these tokens means that they require stronger
protections against replay.
A server that accepts 0-RTT on a connection incurs a higher cost than
accepting a connection without 0-RTT. This includes higher
processing and computation costs. Servers need to consider the
probability of replay and all associated costs when accepting 0-RTT.
Ultimately, the responsibility for managing the risks of replay
attacks with 0-RTT lies with an application protocol. An application
protocol that uses QUIC MUST describe how the protocol uses 0-RTT and
the measures that are employed to protect against replay attack. An
analysis of replay risk needs to consider all QUIC protocol features
that carry application semantics.
Disabling 0-RTT entirely is the most effective defense against replay
attack.
QUIC extensions MUST describe how replay attacks affect their
operation, or prohibit their use in 0-RTT. Application protocols
MUST either prohibit the use of extensions that carry application
semantics in 0-RTT or provide replay mitigation strategies.
9.3. Packet Reflection Attack Mitigation
A small ClientHello that results in a large block of handshake
messages from a server can be used in packet reflection attacks to
amplify the traffic generated by an attacker.
Thomson & Turner Expires 21 November 2020 [Page 40]
Internet-Draft Using TLS to Secure QUIC May 2020
QUIC includes three defenses against this attack. First, the packet
containing a ClientHello MUST be padded to a minimum size. Second,
if responding to an unverified source address, the server is
forbidden to send more than three UDP datagrams in its first flight
(see Section 8.1 of [QUIC-TRANSPORT]). Finally, because
acknowledgements of Handshake packets are authenticated, a blind
attacker cannot forge them. Put together, these defenses limit the
level of amplification.
9.4. Header Protection Analysis
[NAN] analyzes authenticated encryption algorithms which provide
nonce privacy, referred to as "Hide Nonce" (HN) transforms. The
general header protection construction in this document is one of
those algorithms (HN1). Header protection uses the output of the
packet protection AEAD to derive "sample", and then encrypts the
header field using a pseudorandom function (PRF) as follows:
protected_field = field XOR PRF(hp_key, sample)
The header protection variants in this document use a pseudorandom
permutation (PRP) in place of a generic PRF. However, since all PRPs
are also PRFs [IMC], these variants do not deviate from the HN1
construction.
As "hp_key" is distinct from the packet protection key, it follows
that header protection achieves AE2 security as defined in [NAN] and
therefore guarantees privacy of "field", the protected packet header.
Future header protection variants based on this construction MUST use
a PRF to ensure equivalent security guarantees.
Use of the same key and ciphertext sample more than once risks
compromising header protection. Protecting two different headers
with the same key and ciphertext sample reveals the exclusive OR of
the protected fields. Assuming that the AEAD acts as a PRF, if L
bits are sampled, the odds of two ciphertext samples being identical
approach 2^(-L/2), that is, the birthday bound. For the algorithms
described in this document, that probability is one in 2^64.
To prevent an attacker from modifying packet headers, the header is
transitively authenticated using packet protection; the entire packet
header is part of the authenticated additional data. Protected
fields that are falsified or modified can only be detected once the
packet protection is removed.
Thomson & Turner Expires 21 November 2020 [Page 41]
Internet-Draft Using TLS to Secure QUIC May 2020
9.5. Header Protection Timing Side-Channels
An attacker could guess values for packet numbers or Key Phase and
have an endpoint confirm guesses through timing side channels.
Similarly, guesses for the packet number length can be trialed and
exposed. If the recipient of a packet discards packets with
duplicate packet numbers without attempting to remove packet
protection they could reveal through timing side-channels that the
packet number matches a received packet. For authentication to be
free from side-channels, the entire process of header protection
removal, packet number recovery, and packet protection removal MUST
be applied together without timing and other side-channels.
For the sending of packets, construction and protection of packet
payloads and packet numbers MUST be free from side-channels that
would reveal the packet number or its encoded size.
During a key update, the time taken to generate new keys could reveal
through timing side-channels that a key update has occurred.
Alternatively, where an attacker injects packets this side-channel
could reveal the value of the Key Phase on injected packets. After
receiving a key update, an endpoint SHOULD generate and save the next
set of receive packet protection keys, as described in Section 6.3.
By generating new keys before a key update is received, receipt of
packets will not create timing signals that leak the value of the Key
Phase.
This depends on not doing this key generation during packet
processing and it can require that endpoints maintain three sets of
packet protection keys for receiving: for the previous key phase, for
the current key phase, and for the next key phase. Endpoints can
instead choose to defer generation of the next receive packet
protection keys until they discard old keys so that only two sets of
receive keys need to be retained at any point in time.
9.6. Key Diversity
In using TLS, the central key schedule of TLS is used. As a result
of the TLS handshake messages being integrated into the calculation
of secrets, the inclusion of the QUIC transport parameters extension
ensures that handshake and 1-RTT keys are not the same as those that
might be produced by a server running TLS over TCP. To avoid the
possibility of cross-protocol key synchronization, additional
measures are provided to improve key separation.
The QUIC packet protection keys and IVs are derived using a different
label than the equivalent keys in TLS.
Thomson & Turner Expires 21 November 2020 [Page 42]
Internet-Draft Using TLS to Secure QUIC May 2020
To preserve this separation, a new version of QUIC SHOULD define new
labels for key derivation for packet protection key and IV, plus the
header protection keys. This version of QUIC uses the string "quic".
Other versions can use a version-specific label in place of that
string.
The initial secrets use a key that is specific to the negotiated QUIC
version. New QUIC versions SHOULD define a new salt value used in
calculating initial secrets.
10. IANA Considerations
This document does not create any new IANA registries, but it
registers the values in the following registries:
* TLS ExtensionType Values Registry [TLS-REGISTRIES] - IANA is to
register the quic_transport_parameters extension found in
Section 8.2. The Recommended column is to be marked Yes. The TLS
1.3 Column is to include CH and EE.
* QUIC Transport Error Codes Registry [QUIC-TRANSPORT] - IANA is to
register the KEY_UPDATE_ERROR (0xE), as described in Section 6.7.

Appendix A. Sample Packet Protection
This section shows examples of packet protection so that
implementations can be verified incrementally. Samples of Initial
packets from both client and server, plus a Retry packet are defined.
These packets use an 8-byte client-chosen Destination Connection ID
of 0x8394c8f03e515708. Some intermediate values are included. All
values are shown in hexadecimal.
A.1. Keys
The labels generated by the HKDF-Expand-Label function are:
client in: 00200f746c73313320636c69656e7420696e00
server in: 00200f746c7331332073657276657220696e00
quic key: 00100e746c7331332071756963206b657900
quic iv: 000c0d746c733133207175696320697600
quic hp: 00100d746c733133207175696320687000

The initial secret is common:
initial_secret = HKDF-Extract(initial_salt, cid)
= 524e374c6da8cf8b496f4bcb69678350
7aafee6198b202b4bc823ebf7514a423
The secrets for protecting client packets are:
client_initial_secret
= HKDF-Expand-Label(initial_secret, "client in", _, 32)
= fda3953aecc040e48b34e27ef87de3a6
098ecf0e38b7e032c5c57bcbd5975b84
key = HKDF-Expand-Label(client_initial_secret, "quic key", _, 16)
= af7fd7efebd21878ff66811248983694
iv = HKDF-Expand-Label(client_initial_secret, "quic iv", _, 12)
= 8681359410a70bb9c92f0420
hp = HKDF-Expand-Label(client_initial_secret, "quic hp", _, 16)
= a980b8b4fb7d9fbc13e814c23164253d
The secrets for protecting server packets are:
server_initial_secret
= HKDF-Expand-Label(initial_secret, "server in", _, 32)
= 554366b81912ff90be41f17e80222130

key = HKDF-Expand-Label(server_initial_secret, "quic key", _, 16)
= 5d51da9ee897a21b2659ccc7e5bfa577
iv = HKDF-Expand-Label(server_initial_secret, "quic iv", _, 12)
= 5e5ae651fd1e8495af13508b
hp = HKDF-Expand-Label(server_initial_secret, "quic hp", _, 16)
= a8ed82e6664f865aedf6106943f95fb8
A.2. Client Initial
The client sends an Initial packet. The unprotected payload of this
packet contains the following CRYPTO frame, plus enough PADDING
frames to make a 1162 byte payload:

0101001c00024001
The unprotected header includes the connection ID and a 4 byte packet
number encoding for a packet number of 2:
c3ff00001c088394c8f03e5157080000449e00000002
Protecting the payload produces output that is sampled for header
protection. Because the header uses a 4 byte packet number encoding,
the first 16 bytes of the protected payload is sampled, then applied
to the header:
sample = 535064a4268a0d9d7b1c9d250ae35516
mask = AES-ECB(hp, sample)[0..4]
= 833b343aaa
header[0] ^= mask[0] & 0x0f
= c0
header[18..21] ^= mask[1..4]
= 3b343aa8
header = c0ff00001c088394c8f03e5157080000449e3b343aa8
The resulting protected packet is:

A.3. Server Initial
The server sends the following payload in response, including an ACK
frame, a CRYPTO frame, and no PADDING frames:

Thomson & Turner Expires 21 November 2020 [Page 48]
Internet-Draft Using TLS to Secure QUIC May 2020
The header from the server includes a new connection ID and a 2-byte
packet number encoding for a packet number of 1:
c1ff00001c0008f067a5502a4262b50040740001
As a result, after protection, the header protection sample is taken
starting from the third protected octet:
sample = 7002596f99ae67abf65a5852f54f58c3
mask = 38168a0c25
header = c9ff00001c0008f067a5502a4262b5004074168b
The final protected packet is then:

A.4. Retry
This shows a Retry packet that might be sent in response to the
Initial packet in Appendix A.2. The integrity check includes the
client-chosen connection ID value of 0x8394c8f03e515708, but that
value is not included in the final Retry packet:
