Internet-Draft Re-keying Mechanisms for Symmetric Keys February 2017
1. Introduction
Common attacks base their success on the ability to get many
encryptions under a single key. If encryption is performed under a
single key, there is a certain maximum threshold number of messages
that can be safely encrypted. These restrictions can come either
from combinatorial properties of the used cipher modes of operation
(for example, birthday attack [BDJR]) or from particular
cryptographic attacks on the used block cipher (for example, linear
cryptanalysis [Matsui]). Moreover, most strict restrictions here
follow from the need to resist side-channel attacks. The adversary's
opportunity to obtain an essential amount of data processed with a
single key leads not only to theoretic but also to practical
vulnerabilities (see [BL]). Therefore, when the total size of a
plaintext processed with a single key reaches threshold values, this
key cannot be used anymore and certain procedures with encryption
keys are needed.
The most simple and obvious way for overcoming the key lifetimes
limitations is a renegotiation of a regular session key. However,
this reduces the total performance since it usually entails the
frequent use of a public key cryptography.
Another way is to use a transformation of a previously negotiated
key. This specification presents the description of such mechanisms
and the description of the cases when these mechanisms should be
applied.

4. External Re-keying Mechanisms
This section presents an approach to increase the lifetime of
negotiated keys after processing a limited number of integral
messages. It provides an external parallel and serial re-keying
mechanisms (see [AbBell]). These mechanisms use an initial
(negotiated) key as a master key, which is never used directly for
the data processing but is used for key generation. Such mechanisms
operate outside of the base modes of operations and do not change
them at all, therefore they are called "external re-keying" in this
document.
4.1. Parallel Constructions
The main idea behind external re-keying with parallel construction is
presented in Fig.1:

4.1.1. Parallel Construction Based on a KDF on a Block Cipher
ExtParallelC re-keying mechanism is based on a block cipher and is
used to generate t keys for t sections as follows:
K^1 | K^2 | ... | K^t = ExtParallelC(K*, t*k) =
MSB_{t*k}(E_{K*}(0) | E_{K*}(1) | ... | E_{K*}(J-1)),
where J = ceil(k/n).
4.1.2. Parallel Construction Based on HKDF
ExtParallelH re-keying mechanism is based on HMAC-based key
derivation function HKDF-Expand, described in [RFC5869], and is used
to generate t keys for t sections as follows:
K^1 | K^2 | ... | K^t = ExtParallelH(K*, t*k) = HKDF-Expand(K*,
label, t*k),
Smyshlyaev, et al. Expires August 31, 2017 [Page 6]

where label is a string (can be a zero-length string) that is defined
by a specific protocol.
4.2. Serial Constructions
The main idea behind external re-keying with serial construction is
presented in Fig.2:
Lifetime of a key = L,
maximum message size = m_max.

The key K^i is calculated using ExtSerialC transformation as follows:
K^i = ExtSerialC(K*, i) = MSB_k(E_{K*_i}(0) | E_{K*_i}(1) | ... |
E_{K*_i}(J-1)),
where J = ceil(k/n), i = 1, ... , t, K*_i is calculated as follows:
K*_1 = K*,

K*_{j+1} = MSB_k(E_{K*_j}(J) | E_{K*_j}(J+1) | ... | E_{K*_j}(2J-
1)),
where j = 1, ... , t-1.
4.2.2. Serial Construction Based on HKDF
The key K^i is calculated using ExtSerialH transformation as follows:
K^i = ExtSerialH(K*, i) = HKDF-Expand(K*_i, label1, k),
where i = 1, ... , t, HKDF-Expand is an HMAC-based key derivation
function, described in [RFC5869], K*_i is calculated as follows:
K*_1 = K*,
K*_{j+1} = HKDF-Expand(K*_j, label2, k), where j = 1, ... , t-1,
where label1 and label2 are different strings (can be a zero-length
strings) that are defined by a specific protocol (see, for example,
TLS 1.3 updating traffic keys algorithm [TLSDraft]).
5. Internal Re-keying Mechanisms
This section presents an approach to increase the lifetime of
negotiated key by re-keying during each separate message processing.
It provides an internal re-keying mechanisms called ACPKM and ACPKM-
Master that do not use and use a master key respectively. Such
mechanisms are integrated into the base modes of operations and can
be considered as the base mode extensions, therefore they are called
"internal re-keying" in this document.
5.1. Constructions that Do Not Require Master Key
This section describes the block cipher modes that uses the ACPKM re-
keying mechanism (described in Section 5.1.1), which does not use
master key: an initial key is used directly for the encryption of the
data.
5.1.1. ACPKM Re-keying Mechanisms
This section defines periodical key transformation with no master key
which is called ACPKM re-keying mechanism. This mechanism can be
applied to one of the basic encryption modes (CTR and GCM block
cipher modes) for getting an extension of this encryption mode that
uses periodical key transformation with no master key. This
extension can be considered as a new encryption mode.
Smyshlyaev, et al. Expires August 31, 2017 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft Re-keying Mechanisms for Symmetric Keys February 2017
An additional parameter that defines the functioning of basic
encryption modes with the ACPKM re-keying mechanism is the section
size N. The value of N is measured in bits and is fixed within a
specific protocol based on the requirements of the system capacity
and key lifetime (some recommendations on choosing N will be provided
in Section 7). The section size N MUST be divisible by the block
size n.
The main idea behind internal re-keying with no master key is
presented in Fig.3:
Lifetime of a key = L,
section size = const = N,
maximum message size = m_max.

Figure 3: Key meshing with no master key
During the processing of the input message M with the length m in
some encryption mode that uses ACPKM key transformation of the key K
the message is divided into l = ceil(m/N) parts (denoted as M = M_1 |
M_2 | ... | M_l, where M_i is in V_N for i = 1, 2, ... , l-1 and M_l
is in V_r, r <= N). The first section is processed with the initial
key K^1 = K. To process the (i+1)-th section the K^{i+1} key value
is calculated using ACPKM transformation as follows:
K^{i+1} = ACPKM(K^i) = MSB_k(E_{K^i}(W_1) | ... | E_{K^i}(W_J)),
where J = ceil(k/n), W_t = phi_c(D_t) for any t in {1, ... ,J} and
D_1, D_2, ... , D_J are in V_n and are calculated as follows:

ACPKM re-keying mechanism for the periodical key transformation.

keying mechanism basic encryption mode CTR (see [MODES]).

5.2. Constructions that Require Master Key
This section describes the block cipher modes that uses the ACPKM-
Master re-keying mechanism (described in Section 5.2.1), which use
the initial key K as a master key K*, so K is never used directly for
the data processing but is used for key derivation.

5.2.1. ACPKM-Master Key Generation from the Master Key
This section defines periodical key transformation with master key K*
which is called ACPKM-Master re-keying mechanism. This mechanism can
be applied to one of the basic encryption modes (CTR, GCM, CBC, CFB,
OFB, OMAC encryption modes) for getting an extension of this
encryption mode that uses periodical key transformation with master
key. This extension can be considered as a new encryption mode.
Additional parameters that defines the functioning of basic
encryption modes with the ACPKM-Master re-keying mechanism are the
section size N and change frequency T* of the key K*. The values of
N and T* are measured in bits and are fixed within a specific
protocol based on the requirements of the system capacity and key
lifetime (some recommendations on choosing N and T* will be provided
in Section 7). The section size N MUST be divisible by the block
size n. The key frequency T* MUST be divisible by n.
The main idea behind internal re-keying with master key is presented
in Fig.4:

During the processing of the input message M with the length m in
some encryption mode that uses ACPKM-Master key transformation with
the master key K* and key frequency T* the message M is divided into
l = ceil(m/N) parts (denoted as M = M_1 | M_2 | ... | M_l, where M_i
is in V_N for i in {1, 2, ... , l-1} and M_l is in V_r, r <= N). The

| C_j = E_{K^i}(M_j (xor) C_{j-1}) |
| 5. [K] = Generate_Subkey(K^l_1, |M_b|) |
| 6. If |M_b| = n then M*_b = M_b |
| else M*_b = M_b | 1 | 0^{n - 1 -|M_b|} |
| 7. T = E_{K^l}(M*_b (xor) C_{b-1} (xor) [K]) |
| 8. Return T |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
The message size m MUST NOT exceed 2^{n/2}*n^2*N / (k + n) bits.
6. Joint Usage of External and Internal Re-keying
Any mechanism described in Section 4 can be used with any mechanism
described in Section 5.
7. Security Considerations
7.1. Principles of Choice of Constructions and Security Parameters
External re-keying mechanism is RECOMMENDED to be used in protocols
that process pretty small messages (e.g. TLS).
Internal re-keying mechanism is RECOMMENDED to be used in protocols
that can process large messages (e.g. IPSec).
For the protocols that process messages of different lengths it is
RECOMMENDED to use joint methods described in Section 6.

Internet-Draft Re-keying Mechanisms for Symmetric Keys February 2017
7.2. Requirements For Base Primitives
Re-keying should be used to increase "a priori" security properties
of ciphers in hoslile environments (e.g. with side-channel
adversaries). If some non-negligible attacks are known for a cipher,
it MUST NOT be used. So re-keying can not be used as a patch for
vulnerable ciphers. Base cipher properties must be well analyzed,
because security of re-keying mechanisms is based on security of a
block cipher as a pseudorandom function.
