Internet-Draft        DHCPv6 Privacy considerations         October 2014


1.  Introduction

   DHCPv6 [RFC3315] is a protocol that is used to provide addressing and
   configuration information to IPv6 hosts.  The DHCPv6 protocol uses
   several identifiers that could become a source for gleaning
   additional information about the IPv6 host.  This information may
   include device type, operating system information, location(s) that
   the device may have previously visited, etc.  This document discusses
   the various identifiers used by DHCPv6 and the potential privacy
   issues [RFC6973].

   Future works may propose protocol changes to fix the privacy issues
   that have been analyzed in this document.  It is out of scope for
   this document.

   Editor notes: for now, the document is mainly considering the privacy
   of DHCPv6 client.  The privacy of DHCPv6 server and relay agent are
   considered less important because they are open for public services.
   However, this may be a subject to change if further study shows
   opposite result.

2.  Terminology

   This section clarifies the terminology used throughout this document.

   Stable identifier - any property disclosed by a DHCPv6 client that
   does not change over time or changes very infrequently and is unique
   for said client in a given context.  Examples include MAC address,
   client-id that does not change or a hostname.  Stable identifier may
   or may not be globally unique.

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].  When these
   words are not in ALL CAPS (such as "should" or "Should"), they have
   their usual English meanings, and are not to be interpreted as
   [RFC2119] key words.

3.  Identifiers in DHCPv6

   There are several identifiers used in DHCPv6.  This section provides
   an introduction to the various options that will be used further in
   the document.

Internet-Draft        DHCPv6 Privacy considerations         October 2014


3.1.  DUID

   Each DHCPv6 client and server has a DHCPv6 Unique Identifier (DUID)
   [RFC3315].  The DUID is designed to be unique across all DHCPv6
   clients and servers, and to remain stable after it has been initially
   generated.  The DUID can be of different forms.  Commonly used forms
   are based on the link-layer address of one of the device's network
   interfaces (with or without a timestamp), on the Universally Unique
   IDentifier (UUID) [RFC6355].  The default type, recommended by
   [RFC3315], is DUID-LLT that is based on link-layer address, which is
   commonly implemented in most popular clients.

   It is important to understand DUID lifecycle.  Clients and servers
   are expected to generate their DUID once (during first operation) and
   store it in a non-volatile storage or use the same deterministic
   algorithm to generate the same DUID value again.  This means that
   most implementations will use the available link-layer address during
   its first boot.  Even if the administrator enables privacy extensions
   (see [RFC4941]) and its equivalent for link-layer address
   randomization, it is likely that those privacy mechanisms were
   disabled during the first device boot.  Hence the original,
   unobfuscated link-layer address will likely end up being announced as
   client DUID, even if the link-layer address has changed (or even if
   being changed on a periodic basis).

3.2.  Client ID Option

   The Client Identifier Option (OPTION_CLIENTID) [RFC3315] is used to
   carry the DUID of a DHCPv6 client between a client and a server.
   There is an analogous Server Identifier Option but it is not as
   interesting in the privacy context (unless a host can be convinced to
   start acting as a server).  Client ID is an example of DUID.  See
   Section 3.1 for relevant discussion about DUIDs.

3.3.  IA_NA, IA_TA, IA_PD, IA Address and IA Prefix Options

   The Identity Association for Non-temporary Addresses (IA_NA) option
   [RFC3315] is used to carry the parameters and any non-temporary
   addresses associated with the given IA_NA.  The Identity Association
   for Temporary Addresses (IA_TA) option [RFC3315] is analogous to the
   IA_NA option but for temporary addresses.  The IA Address option
   [RFC3315] is used to specify IPv6 addresses associated with an IA_NA
   or an IA_TA and is encapsulated within the Options field of such an
   IA_NA or IA_TA option.  The Identity Association for Prefix
   Delegation (IA_PD) [RFC3633] option is used to carry the prefixes
   that are assigned to the requesting router.  IA Prefix option
   [RFC3633] is used to specify IPv6 prefixes associated with an IA_PD
   and is encapsulated within the Options field of such an IA_PD option.



Krishnan, et al.         Expires April 30, 2015                 [Page 4]


Internet-Draft        DHCPv6 Privacy considerations         October 2014


   To differentiate between instances of the same type of IA containers,
   each IA_NA, IA_TA and IA_PD options have an IAID field that is unique
   for each client/option type pair.  It is up to the client to pick
   unique IAID values.  At least one popular implementation uses last
   four octets of the link-layer address.  In most cases, that means
   that merely two bytes are missing for a full link-layer address
   reconstruction.  However, the first three octets in a typical link-
   layer address are vendor identifier.  That can be determined with
   high level of certainty using other means, thus allowing full link-
   layer address discovery.

3.4.  Interface ID

   A DHCPv6 relay includes the Interface ID [RFC3315] option to identify
   the interface on which it received the client message that is being
   relayed.

   Although in principle Interface ID can be arbitrarily long with
   completely random values, it is often a text string that includes the
   relay agent name followed by interface name.  This can be used for
   fingerprinting the relay or determining client's point of attachment.

3.5.  Subscriber ID

   A DHCPv6 relay includes a Subscriber ID option [RFC4580] to associate
   some provider-specific information with clients' DHCPv6 messages that
   is independent of the physical network configuration.

   In many deployments, the relay agent that inserts this option is
   configured to use client's link-layer address as Subscriber ID.

3.6.  Remote ID

   A DHCPv6 relay includes a Remote ID option [RFC4649] to identify the
   remote host end of the circuit.

   The remote-id is vendor specific, for which the vendor is indicated
   in the enterprise-number field.  The remote-id field may encode the
   information that identified the DHCPv6 clients:

   o  a "caller ID" telephone number for dial-up connection

   o  a "user name" prompted for by a Remote Access Server

   o  a remote caller ATM address o a "modem ID" of a cable data modem

   o  the remote IP address of a point-to-point link

Internet-Draft        DHCPv6 Privacy considerations         October 2014


   o  an interface or port identifier

3.7.  Client FQDN Option

   The Client Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) option [RFC4704] is
   used by DHCPv6 clients and servers to exchange information about the
   client's fully qualified domain name and about who has the
   responsibility for updating the DNS with the associated AAAA and PTR
   RRs.

   A client can use this option to convey all or part of its domain name
   to a DHCPv6 server for the IPv6-address-to-FQDN mapping.  In most
   case a client sends its hostname as a hint for the server.  The
   DHCPv6 server MAY be configured to modify the supplied name or to
   substitute a different name.  The server should send its notion of
   the complete FQDN for the client in the Domain Name field.

3.8.  Client Link-layer Address Option

   The Client link-layer address option [RFC6939] is used by first-hop
   DHCPv6 relays to provide the client's link-layer address towards the
   server.

   DHCPv6 relay agents that receive messages originating from clients
   may include the link-layer source address of the received DHCPv6
   message in the Client Link-Layer Address option, in relayed DHCPv6
   Relay-Forward messages.

3.9.  Option Request Option

   DHCPv6 clients include an Option Request option [RFC3315] in DHCPv6
   messages to inform the server about options the client wants the
   server to send to the client.

   The content of an Option Request option are the option codes for an
   option requested by the client.  The client may additionally include
   instances of those options that are identified in the Option Request
   option, with data values as hints to the server about parameter
   values the client would like to have returned.

3.10.  Vendor Class Option

   This Vendor Class option [RFC3315] is used by a DHCPv6 client to
   identify the vendor that manufactured the hardware on which the
   client is running.

   The information contained in the data area of this option is
   contained in one or more opaque fields that identify details of the

Internet-Draft        DHCPv6 Privacy considerations         October 2014


   hardware configuration, for example, the version of the operating
   system the client is running or the amount of memory installed on the
   client.

3.11.  Civic Location Option

   DHCPv6 servers use the Civic Location option [RFC4776] to delivery of
   location information (the civic and postal addresses) from the DHCPv6
   server to the DHCPv6 clients.  It may refer to three locations: the
   location of the DHCPv6 server, the location of the network element
   believed to be closest to the client, or the location of the client,
   identified by the "what" element within the option.

3.12.  Coordinate-Based Location Option

   The GeoLoc options [RFC6225] is used by DHCPv6 server to provide the
   coordinate- based geographic location information to the DHCPv6
   clients.  It enable a DHCPv6 client to obtain its location.

   After the relevant DHCPv6 exchanges have taken place, the location
   information is stored on the end device rather than somewhere else,
   where retrieving it might be difficult in practice.

3.13.  Client System Architecture Type Option

   The Client System Architecture Type option [RFC5970] is used by
   DHCPv6 client to send a list of supported architecture types to the
   DHCPv6 server.  It is used to provide configuration information for a
   node that must be booted using the network rather than from local
   storage.

4.  Existing Mechanisms That Affect Privacy

   This section describes available DHCPv6 mechanisms that one can use
   to protect or enhance one's privacy.

4.1.  Temporary addresses

   [RFC3315] defines a mechanism for a client to request temporary
   addresses.  The idea behind temporary addresses is that a client can
   request a temporary address for a specific purpose, use it, and then
   never renew it. i.e. let it expire.

   There are number of serious issues, both protocolar and
   implementational, that make them nearly useless for their original
   goal.  First, [RFC3315] does not include T1 and T2 renewal timers in
   IA_TA (a container for temporary addresses).  However, it mentions
   that temporary addresses can be renewed.  Many client implementations



Krishnan, et al.         Expires April 30, 2015                 [Page 7]


Internet-Draft        DHCPv6 Privacy considerations         October 2014


   renew those addresses during a renewal procedure initiated by other
   resources (non-temporary addresses or prefixes), thus forfeiting
   shortliveness.  Second, [RFC4704] allows servers to update DNS for
   assigned temporary addresses.  Publishing client's IPv6 address in
   DNS that is publicly available is a major privacy breach.

4.2.  DNS Updates

   DNS Updates [RFC4704] defines a mechanism that allows both clients
   and server to insert into DNS domain information about clients.  Both
   forward (AAAA) and reverse (PTR) resource records can be updated.
   This allows other nodes to conveniently refer to a host, despite the
   fact that its IPv6 address may be changing.

   This mechanism exposes two important pieces of information: current
   address (which can be mapped to current location) and client's
   hostname.  The stable hostname can then by used to correlate the
   client across different network attachments even when its IPv6
   address keeps changing.

4.3.  Allocation strategies

   A DHCPv6 server running in typical, stateful mode is given a task of
   managing one or more pools of IPv6 resources (currently non-temporary
   addresses, temporary addresses and/or prefixes, but more resource
   types may be defined in the future).  When a client requests a
   resource, server must pick a resource out of configured pool.
   Depending on the server's implementation, various allocation
   strategies are possible.  Choices in this regard may have privacy
   implications.

   Iterative allocation - a server may choose to allocate addresses one
   by one.  That strategy has the benefit of being very fast, thus can
   be favored in deployments that prefer performance.  However, it makes
   the resources very predictable.  Also, since the resources allocated
   tend to be clustered at the beginning of available pool, it makes
   scanning attacks much easier.

   Identifier-based allocation - a server may choose to allocate an
   address that is based on one of available identifiers, e.g.  IID or
   MAC address.  This has a property of being convenient for converting
   IP address to/from other identifiers, especially if the identifier is
   or contains MAC address.  It is also convenient, as returning client
   is very likely to get the same address, even if the server does not
   store previous client's address.  Those properties are convenient for
   system administrators, so DHCPv6 server implementors are sometimes
   requested to implement it.  There is at least one implementation that
   supports it.  On the other hand, the downside of such allocation is



Krishnan, et al.         Expires April 30, 2015                 [Page 8]


Internet-Draft        DHCPv6 Privacy considerations         October 2014


   that the client now discloses its identifier in its IPv6 address to
   all services it connects to.  That means that correlation of
   activities over time, location tracking, address scanning and OS/
   vendor discovery apply.

   Hash allocation - it's an extension of identifier based allocation.
   Instead of using the identifier directly, it is being hashed first.
   If the hash is implemented correctly, it removes the flaw of
   disclosing the identifier, a property that eliminates susceptibility
   to address scanning and OS/vendor discovery.  If the hash is poorly
   implemented (e.g. can be reverted), it introduces no improvement over
   identifier-based allocation.

   Random allocation - a server can pick a resource randomly out of
   available pool.  That strategy works well in scenarios where pool
   utilization is small, as the likelihood of collision (resulting in
   the server needing to repeat randomization) is small.  With the pool
   allocation increasing, the collision is disproportionally large, due
   to birthday paradox.  With high pool utilization (e.g. when 90% of
   available resources being allocated already), the server will use
   most computational resources to repeatedly pick a random resource,
   which will degrade its performance.  This allocation scheme
   essentially prevents returning clients from getting the same address
   or prefix again.  On the other hand, it is beneficial from privacy
   perspective as addresses and prefixes generated that way are not
   susceptible to correlation attacks, OS/vendor discovery attacks or
   identity discovery attacks.  Note that even though the address or
   prefix itself may be resilient to a given attack, the client may
   still be susceptible if additional information is disclosed other
   way, e.g. client's address can be randomized, but it still can leak
   its MAC address in client-id option.

   Other allocation strategies may be implemented.

5.  Attacks

5.1.  Device type discovery (fingerprinting)

   The type of device used by the client can be guessed by the attacker
   using the Vendor Class option, the Client Link-layer Address option,
   and by parsing the Client ID option.  All of those options may
   contain OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier) that represents the
   device's vendor.  That knowledge can be used for device-specific
   vulnerability exploitation attacks.  See Section 3.4 of
   [I-D.ietf-6man-ipv6-address-generation-privacy] for a discussion
   about this type of attack.





Krishnan, et al.         Expires April 30, 2015                 [Page 9]


Internet-Draft        DHCPv6 Privacy considerations         October 2014


5.2.  Operating system discovery (fingerprinting)

   The operating system running on a client can be guessed using the
   Vendor Class option, the Client System Architecture Type option, or
   by using fingerprinting techniques on the combination of options
   requested using the Option Request option.  See Section 3.4 of
   [I-D.ietf-6man-ipv6-address-generation-privacy] for a discussion
   about this type of attack.

5.3.  Finding location information

   The location information can be obtained by the attacker by many
   means.  The most direct way to obtain this information is by looking
   into a server initiated message that contains the Civic Location or
   GeoLoc option.  It can also be indirectly inferred using the Remote
   ID Option (e.g. using a telephone number), the Interface ID option
   (e.g.  if an access circuit on an Access Node corresponds to a civic
   location), or the Subscriber ID Option (if the attacker has access to
   subscriber info).

5.4.  Finding previously visited networks

   When DHCPv6 clients connect to a network, they attempt to obtain the
   same address they had used before they attached to the network.  They
   do this by putting the previously assigned address(es) in the IA
   Address Option(s) inside the IA_NA, IA_TA.  By observing these
   addresses, an attacker can identify the network the client had
   previously visited.

5.5.  Finding a stable identity

   An attacker might use a stable identity gleaned from DHCPv6 messages
   to correlate activities of a given client on unrelated networks.  The
   Client FQDN option, the Subscriber ID Option and the Client ID
   options can serve as long lived identifiers of DHCPv6 clients.  The
   Client FQDN option can also provide an identity that can easily be
   correlated with web server activity logs.

5.6.  Pervasive monitoring

   This is an enhancement, or a combination of most aforementioned
   mechanisms.  Operator, who controls non-trivial number of access
   points or network segments, may use obtained information about a
   single client and observer client's habits.

Internet-Draft        DHCPv6 Privacy considerations         October 2014


5.7.  Finding client's IP address or hostname

   Many DHCPv6 deployments use DNS Updates [RFC4704] that put client's
   information (current IP address, client's hostname).  Client ID is
   also disclosed, able it in not easily accessible form (SHA-256 digest
   of the client-id).  Although SHA-256 is irreversible, so DHCPv6
   client ID can't be converted back to client-id.  However, SHA-256
   digest can be used as a unique identifier that is accessible by any
   host.

5.8.  Correlation of activities over time

   As with other identifiers, an IPv6 address can be used to correlate
   the activities of a host for at least as long as the lifetime of the
   address.  If that address was generated from some other, stable
   identifier and that generation scheme can be deducted by an attacker,
   the duration of correlation attack extends to that identifier.  In
   many cases, its lifetime is equal to the lifetime of the device
   itself.  See Section 3.1 of
   [I-D.ietf-6man-ipv6-address-generation-privacy] for detailed
   discussion.

5.9.  Location tracking

   If a stable identifier is used for assigning an address and such
   mapping is discovered by an attacker (e.g. a server that uses IEEE-
   identifier-based IID to generate IPv6 address), all scenarios
   discussed in Section 3.2 of
   [I-D.ietf-6man-ipv6-address-generation-privacy] apply.  In particular
   both passive (a service that the client connects to can log client's
   address and draw conclusions regarding its location and movement
   patterns based on prefix it is connecting from) and active (attacker
   can send ICMPv6 echo requests or other probe packets to networks of
   suspected client locations).

5.10.  Leasequery & bulk leasequery

   Attackers may pretend as an access concentrator, either DHCPv6 relay
   agent or DHCPv6 client, to obtain location information directly from
   the DHCP server(s) using the DHCPv6 Leasequery [RFC5007] mechanism.

   Location information is information needed by the access concentrator
   to forward traffic to a broadband-accessible host.  This information
   includes knowledge of the host hardware address, the port or virtual
   circuit that leads to the host, and/or the hardware address of the
   intervening subscriber modem.

   Furthermore, the attackers may use DHCPv6 bulk leasequery [RFC5460]
   mechanism to obtain bulk information about DHCPv6 bindings, even
   without knowing the target bindings.

6.  Security Considerations

   TBD

7.  Privacy Considerations

   This document at its entirety discusses privacy considerations in
   DHCPv6.  As such, no separate section about this is needed.

8.  IANA Considerations

   This draft does not request any IANA action.

9.  Acknowledgements
