Abstract
This document proposes the addition of new cipher suites to the
Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol to support the Camellia
encryption algorithm as a bulk cipher algorithm.
1. Introduction
This document proposes the addition of new cipher suites to the
TLS protocol [TLS] to support the Camellia encryption algorithm as
a bulk cipher algorithm. This proposal provides a new option for
fast and efficient bulk cipher algorithms.
Note: This work was done when the first author worked for NTT.

Internet-Draft Camellia Ciphersuites for TLS October 2004
1.1. Camellia
Camellia was selected as a recommended cryptographic primitive by
the EU NESSIE (New European Schemes for Signatures, Integrity and
Encryption) project [NESSIE] and included in the list of
cryptographic techniques for Japanese e-Government systems, which
were selected by the Japan CRYPTREC (Cryptography Research and
Evaluation Committees) [CRYPTREC]. Camellia is also included in
specification of the TV-Anytime Forum [TV-ANYTIME]. The TV-Anytime
Forum is an association of organizations that seeks to develop
specifications to enable audio-visual and other services based on
mass-market high volume digital storage in consumer
platforms. Camellia is specified as Ciphersuite in TLS used by
Phase 1 S-7 (Bi-directional Metadata Delivery Protection)
specification and S-5 (TV-Anytime Rights Management and Protection
Information for Broadcast Applications) specification. Camellia
has been submitted to other several standardization bodies such as
ISO (ISO/IEC 18033) and IETF S/MIME Mail Security Working Group
[Camellia-CMS].
Camellia supports 128-bit block size and 128-, 192-, and 256-bit
key sizes, i.e. the same interface specifications as the Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES) [AES].
Camellia was jointly developed by NTT and Mitsubishi Electric
Corporation in 2000. It was carefully designed to withstand all
known cryptanalytic attacks and even to have a sufficiently large
security leeway. It has been scrutinized by worldwide
cryptographic experts.
Camellia was also designed to have suitability for both software
and hardware implementations and to cover all possible encryption
applications that range from low-cost smart cards to high-speed
network systems. Compared to the AES, Camellia offers at least
comparable encryption speed in software and hardware. In
addition, a distinguishing feature is its small hardware design.
Camellia perfectly meets one of the current TLS market
requirements, where low power consumption is a mandatory
condition.
The algorithm specification and object identifiers are described
in [Camellia-Desc]. The Camellia homepage,
http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/camellia/, contains a wealth of
information about camellia, including detailed specification,
security analysis, performance figures, reference implementation
and test vectors.
1.2. Terminology
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHOULD", "SHOULD
NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document (in
uppercase, as shown) are to be interpreted as described in
[RFC2119].

2. Proposed Cipher Suites
The new ciphersuites proposed here have the following definitions:
CipherSuite TLS_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_128_CBC_SHA = { 0x00,0x41 };
CipherSuite TLS_DH_DSS_WITH_CAMELLIA_128_CBC_SHA = { 0x00,0x42 };
CipherSuite TLS_DH_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_128_CBC_SHA = { 0x00,0x43 };
CipherSuite TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_CAMELLIA_128_CBC_SHA = { 0x00,0x44 };
CipherSuite TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_128_CBC_SHA = { 0x00,0x45 };
CipherSuite TLS_DH_anon_WITH_CAMELLIA_128_CBC_SHA = { 0x00,0x46 };
CipherSuite TLS_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA = { 0x00,0x84 };
CipherSuite TLS_DH_DSS_WITH_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA = { 0x00,0x85 };
CipherSuite TLS_DH_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA = { 0x00,0x86 };
CipherSuite TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA = { 0x00,0x87 };
CipherSuite TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA = { 0x00,0x88 };
CipherSuite TLS_DH_anon_WITH_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA = { 0x00,0x89 };
3. CipherSuite Definitions
3.1. Cipher
All the ciphersuites described here use Camellia in cipher block
chaining (CBC) mode as a bulk cipher algorithm. Camellia is a
128-bit block cipher with 128-, 192-, and 256-bit key sizes,
i.e. it supports the same block and key sizes as the Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES). However, this document only defines
ciphersuites for 128- and 256-bit keys as well as AES ciphersuites
for TLS [AES-TLS]. They are enough for use in efficient and
practical cases as well as high-security applications.
Key Expanded Effective IV Block
Cipher Type Material Key Material Key Bits Size Size
CAMELLIA_128_CBC Block 16 16 128 16 16
CAMELLIA_256_CBC Block 32 32 256 16 16
3.2. Hash
All the ciphersuites described here use SHA-1 [SHA-1] in an HMAC
construction as described in section 5 of [TLS].
3.3. Key exchange
The ciphersuites defined here differ in the type of certificate
and key exchange method. They use the following options:
CipherSuite Key Exchange Algorithm
TLS_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_128_CBC_SHA RSA
TLS_DH_DSS_WITH_CAMELLIA_128_CBC_SHA DH_DSS
TLS_DH_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_128_CBC_SHA DH_RSA
Moriai, Kato, Kanda [Page 3]
Internet-Draft Camellia Ciphersuites for TLS October 2004
TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_CAMELLIA_128_CBC_SHA DHE_DSS
TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_128_CBC_SHA DHE_RSA
TLS_DH_anon_WITH_CAMELLIA_128_CBC_SHA DH_anon
TLS_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA RSA
TLS_DH_DSS_WITH_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA DH_DSS
TLS_DH_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA DH_RSA
TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA DHE_DSS
TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA DHE_RSA
TLS_DH_anon_WITH_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA DH_anon
For the meanings of the terms RSA, DH_DSS, DH_RSA, DHE_DSS,
DHE_RSA and DH_anon, please refer to sections 7.4.2 and 7.4.3 of
[TLS].
4. Security Considerations
It is not believed that the new ciphersuites are ever less secure
than the corresponding older ones. Camellia is considered to be
secure, and it has withstood extensive cryptanalytic efforts in
several open, worldwide cryptographic evaluation projects
[CRYPTREC][NESSIE].
At the time of writing this document there are no known weak keys
for Camellia.
For other security considerations, please refer to the security
considerations of the corresponding older ciphersuites described
in [TLS] and [AES-TLS].
