TCP-AO Test Vectors
draft-ietf-tcpm-ao-test-vectors-09.txt
Abstract
This document provides test vectors to validate implementations of
the two mandatory authentication algorithms specified for the TCP
Authentication Option over both IPv4 and IPv6. This includes
validation of the key derivation function (KDF) based on a set of
test connection parameters as well as validation of the message
authentication code (MAC). Vectors are provided for both currently
required pairs of KDF and MAC algorithms: KDF_HMAC_SHA1 and HMAC-
SHA-1-96, and KDF_AES_128_CMAC and AES-128-CMAC-96. The vectors also
validate both whole TCP segments as well as segments whose options
are excluded for middlebox traversal.

1. Introduction
This document provides test vectors to validate the correct
implementation of the TCP Authentication Option (TCP-AO) [RFC5925]
and its mandatory cryptographic algorithms defined in [RFC5926]. It
includes the specification of all endpoint parameters to generate
the variety of TCP segments covered by different keys and MAC
coverage, i.e., both the default case and the variant where TCP
options are ignored for middlebox traversal. It also includes both
default key derivation functions (KDFs) and MAC generation

algorithms [RFC5926] and lists common pitfalls of implementing the
algorithms correctly.
The experimental extension to support NAT traversal [RFC6978] is not
included in the provided test vectors.
This document provides test vectors from multiple implementations
that have been validated against each other for interoperability.
2. Conventions used in this document
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.
3. Input Test Vectors
3.1. TCP Connection Parameters
The following parameters are used throughout this suite of test
vectors. The terms 'active' and 'passive' are used as defined for
TCP [RFC793].
3.1.1. TCP-AO parameters
The following values are used for all exchanges. This suite does not
test key switchover. The KeyIDs are as indicated for TCP-AO
[RFC5925]. The Master_Key is used to derive the traffic keys
[RFC5926].
Active (client) side KeyID: 61 decimal (0x3d hexadecimal)
Passive (server) side KeyID: 84 decimal (0x54 hexadecimal)
Master_Key: "testvector" (length = 10 bytes)
3.1.2. Active (client) side parameters
The following endpoint parameters are used on the active side of the
TCP connection, i.e., the side that initiates the TCP SYN.
For IPv4: 10.11.12.13 (dotted decimal)
For IPv6: fd00::1 (IPv6 hexadecimal)
Touch Expires September 3, 2022 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft TCP-AO Test Vectors March 2022
TCP port: (varies)
3.1.3. Passive (server) side parameters
The following endpoint parameters are used for the passive side of
the TCP connection, i.e., the side that responds with a TCP SYN-ACK.
For IPv4: 172.27.28.29 (dotted decimal)
For IPv6: fd00::2 (IPv6 hexadecimal)
TCP port = 179 decimal (BGP)
3.1.4. Other IP fields and options
No IP options are used in these test vectors.
All IPv4 packets use the following other parameters [RFC791]: DSCP =
111000 binary (CS7) as is typical for BGP, ECN = 00 binary, set DF,
and clear MF.
IPv4 uses a TTL of 255 decimal; IPv6 uses a hop limit of 255
decimal.
All IPv6 packets use the following other parameters [RFC8200]:
traffic class = 0xe0 hexadecimal (DSCP = 111000 binary CS7, as is
typical for BGP, with ECN = 00 binary) and no EHs.
3.1.5. Other TCP fields and options
The SYN and SYN-ACK segments include MSS [RFC793], NOP, WindowScale
[RFC7323], SACK Permitted [RFC2018], TimeStamp [RFC7323], and TCP-AO
[RFC5925], in that order.
All other example segments include NOP, NOP, TimeStamp, and TCP-AO,
in that order.
All segment URG pointers are zero [RFC793]. All segments with data
set the PSH flag [RFC793].
Each TCP connection below uses the Initial Sequence Numbers (ISNs)
as indicated at the front of each corresponding section.
4. IPv4 SHA-1 Output Test Vectors
The SHA-1 KDF and MAC algorithms, KDF_HMAC_SHA1 and HMAC-SHA-1-96,
are computed as specified for TCP-AO [RFC5926].

hexadecimal values with spacing per line representing the contents

8. Observed Implementation Errors
The following is a partial list of implementation errors that this
set of test vectors is intended to validate.
8.1. Algorithm issues
o Underlying implementation of HMAC-SHA-1-96 or AES-128-CMAC-96
does not pass their corresponding test vectors [RFC2202]
[RFC4493]
o The SNE algorithm does not consider corner cases, possibly
because the pseudocode in [RFC5925] was not intended as complete,
as discussed in [RFC9187], the latter of which includes its own
validation sequence.
8.2. Algorithm parameters
o KDF context length is incorrect, e.g., it does not include TCP
header length + payload length (it should, per 5.2 of TCP-AO
[RFC5925])
o KDF calculation does not start from counter i = 1 (it should, per
Sec. 3.1.1 of the TCP-AO crypto algorithms [RFC5926])
o KDF calculation does not include output length in bits, contained
in two bytes in network byte order (it should, per Sec. 3.1.1 of
the TCP-AO crypto algorithms [RFC5926])
Touch Expires September 3, 2022 [Page 25]
Internet-Draft TCP-AO Test Vectors March 2022
o KDF uses keys generated from current TCP segment sequence numbers
(KDF should use only local and remote ISNs or zero, as indicated
in Sec. 5.2 of TCP-AO [RFC5925])
8.3. String handling issues
The strings indicated in TCP-AO and its algorithms are indicated as
a sequence of bytes of known length. In some implementations, string
lengths are indicated by a terminal value (e.g., zero in C). This
terminal value is not included as part of the string for
calculations.
o Password includes the last zero-byte (it should not)
o Label "TCP-AO" includes the last zero byte (it should not)
8.4. Header coverage issues
o TCP checksum and/or MAC is not zeroed properly before calculation
(both should be)
o TCP header is not included in the MAC calculation (it should be)
o TCP options are not included in the MAC calculation by default.
There is a separate parameter in the Master Key Tuple (MKT)
[RFC5925] to ignore options; this document provides test vectors for
both options-included and options-excluded cases.
9. Security Considerations
This document is intended to assist in the validation of
implementations of TCP-AO, to further enable its more widespread use
as a security mechanism to authenticate not only TCP payload
contents but the TCP headers and protocol.
The Master_Key of "testvector" used here for test vector generation
SHOULD NOT be used operationally.
10. IANA Considerations
This document contains no IANA issues. This section should be
removed upon publication as an RFC.
