Internet-Draft    Using IKE with IPv6 Cryptographically Generated Address                    June 2003


1. Introduction and Problem Statement

   This document describes how to use IKE with IPv6 Cryptographically
   Generated Address (CGA).  This technique only requires slight
   modifications and can be used by one or both peers to achieve
   'Opportunistic IPsec' ([4]).

   One use of CGA is address proof-of-ownership, but it can also be used
   with authorization certificates (e.g.  SPKI, Keynote2) to enable a
   flexible authorization framework.  CGA's have been proposed to solve
   several security issues in the absence of any centralized trusted
   security infrastructure, for example, securing Binding Updates in
   Mobile IPv6, securing Neighbor Discovery for IPv6, and securing Group
   Membership in Multicast and Anycast communications.

   Until now, Opportunistic IPsec deployment has been severely limited
   because it constrains IP nodes to have either a pre-shared key or a
   common trusted root (e.g., a PKI infrastructure).  Thus, the lack of
   a global, Internet-wide, trusted infrastructure has precluded a
   straightforward application of IPsec between any two previously
   unknown nodes.  The impossibility of always having the choice of
   obtaining a security association by leveraging a centralized
   infrastructure has led to this type of cryptographic techniques
   commonly known as CGA or SUCV to be applied to IPsec.

   This note is organized as follows: we will first describe related
   work and some usage scenarios for a CGA-enabled peer authentication
   within an IKE exchange, then we will enumerate requirements for those
   ISAKMP payloads that need it, and finally, describe precisely how to
   validate the IKE_AUTH_SA and CREATE_CHILD_SA steps of such an IKE
   exchange.

2. Related work

   CGA usage has lacked generality as it has been applied either within
   specific frameworks like Mobile IP ([5], [6]) or using its own custom
   protocol, Statistically Unique and Cryptographically Verifiable
   protocol (sucvP) [5].  Lately, a proposal using Just Fast Keying
   (JFK) has been put forth ([9]).  Nevertheless, we believe that a
   full-blown key exchange protocol is redundant.  Moreover, because the
   design, implementation and debugging of a new security protocol is
   especially costly and error-prone, we think that it is not worth
   "reinventing the wheel".  From the point of view of implementation
   effort, the fact that this approach only requires the addition of
   stand-alone CGA validation routines into existing IKE daemons (e.g.
   racoon, isakmpd, pluto, etc) is another considerable advantage.

   Accordingly, this note presents an overview of how to use the
   Internet Key Exchange protocol [1] while one or both peers
   authenticate themselves via CGA proof-of-ownership.  This document
   details the slight modifications needed.  Additionally, it aims at
   capturing the current thinking about how to achieve proof-of-
   ownership in IKE via CGA in a standard manner, thus preventing
   subsequent conflicting definitions.

3. Terminology

   Cryptographically Generated Address (CGA): An adress which is
   obtained using cryptographic material as input parameter to a hash
   function.

   Crypto-Based Identifier (CBID): An identifier which is obtained using
   cryptographic material as input parameter to a hash function.

   CGA enabled Node: An IPv6 node that has one CGA configured as its
   IPv6 address.

   Opportunistic IPsec (OIPsec): Opportunistic IPsec denotes the use of
   the IPsec family of protocols between previously unknown nodes
   implementing an Opportunistic Security Policy.  This includes running
   IKE between those peers to establish an IPsec Security Association
   (ESP and/or AH in either Transport or Tunnel Mode).

   Opportunistic Security Gateway (OSGW): An opportunistic gateway is an
   IPsec security gateway which applies a tunnel mode Opportunistic
   Security Policy (OSP) to traffic originating from or sinking at its
   "local network".  It has a CBID instead of a CGA, and holds SPKI
   authorization certificates issued by the CGA's it protects with
   OIPsec.

   Opportunistic Security Policy (OSP): An Opportunistic Security Policy
   is a Security Policy that specifies that traffic towards any outbound
   destination (i.e., ::0/0) SHOULD be protected by IPsec, either
   transport mode or tunnel mode (transport mode for securing end-to-end
   traffic between two nodes and tunnel mode for securing traffic
   between two OSGW's, while in transit in the public internet).

4. Node Configuration and Requirements

   Each node needs to prove address ownership of their CGA.  Similarly,
   OSGW's only need to prove identifier ownership of their CBID.  Thus,
   they generates a public-private key pair, PK and SK, respectively.
   The nodes then use PK to obtain and configure a CGA and the OSGW's a
   CBID as specified in [5]:

      CBID = SHA1_128 ( PK )

      CGA = NetworkPrefix | SHA1_64 ( PK )

      Where PK can be a PK certificate (see below)

   Those nodes that want to prove that they own their CGA should use it
   as their so-called IKE "peer" address while sending IKE packets.
   OSGW's can use any of their addresses, but they need to have an SPKI
   authorization certificate issued on their behalf by each CGA holder:

      CGA_1 => CBID : OSGW

      CGA_2 => CBID : OSGW



      (...)



      CGA_n => CBID : OSGW



      Meaning that each CGA_i (0<i<n+1) authorize CBID to act as an
      OSGW.

   For practical reasons, we choose to define CBID and CGA as the hash
   of the node's X509 certificates, as they contains validity dates and
   other data that may be useful.  In order to limit the validity scope
   of the PK<->CGA mapping to the network prefix in which the CGA
   resides, the certificate is concatenated with this network prefix
   before hashing, as per [6].  This alleviate the problem of pre-
   computation attacks on the CGA key-space (2^62).  Thus, one is not
   able to re-use the results of a previous brute-force search attacks
   on CGA.

      CBID = SHA1_128 ( X509{PK} )

      CGA = NetworkPrefix | SHA1_64 ( X509Cert{PK} | NetworkPrefix)

   Notice that the CBID generated from a certificate is indeed very
   similar to the FullID proposal [7].  Another technique to generate
   CGA's with an increased security level of 112 bits (instead of the 62
   bits provided in the IID) has been described for SEND purposes [8].

5. Usage Scenarios

   CGA authentication within an IKE exchange can be applied in several
   different usage scenarios.  The following sections describe some of
   these scenarios while emphasizing on easiness of Opportunistic
   Security Policy configuration.

   Opportunistic IPsec bootstraps an IPsec Security Association between
   two previously unknown nodes.  Some schemes have been proposed to
   achieve this goal: FreeS/WAN Opportunistic IPsec uses the standard
   IKE protocol and DNS queries to retrieve IKE peers' public keys.
   While these schemes certainly allow to bootstrap such an SA, we argue
   that it is not convenient to rely on upper layer infrastructure
   (e.g., DNS) to secure the network layer.  This causes cyclic
   dependencies that ends up in a chicken-and-egg problem: DNS is
   carried over {TCP|UDP}/IP and a consistent Opportunistic security
   policy should require that this traffic be protected as well, thus
   requiring Opportunistic negotiation to secure needed KEY RR lookups.
   On the other hand, a CGA-based scheme achieves true independence
   because the security gateways can discover each other and verify
   authorization by relying solely on IP infrastructure.  We propose one
   CGA Opportunistic IPsec scheme per IPsec mode (transport and tunnel).

5.1 Transport Mode Opportunistic IPsec

   Transport Mode Opportunistic IPsec secures end-to-end communications
   between any two previously unknown CGA-enabled nodes implementing an
   OSP.  For instance, let's assume that Alice initially wants to send a
   data packet to Bob.  Transport Mode OSP requires protection of this
   data packet.  As no trust relationship exists between Alice and Bob
   prior to this, they needs to establish a Transport Mode IPsec
   Security Association.

   [Alice]<=i=p=s=e=c==t=r=a=n=s=p=o=r=t=>[Bob]

   Bootstrapping an IPsec SA between two CGA-enabled nodes is
   straightforward: the two peers merely prove ownership of their CGA's
   while performing the IKE exchange, and configure negotiated IPsec
   SA's.

   A typical Transport Mode OSP policy should look like that:

      INBOUND:

      ::0/0[ike] -> cga_addr/128[any] udp bypass

      ::0/0[any] -> cga_addr/128[ike] udp bypass

Internet-Draft    Using IKE with IPv6 Cryptographically Generated Address                    June 2003


      ::0/0[any] -> cga_addr/128[any] any require (ipsec/ah/esp/
      transport)

      OUTBOUND:

      cga_addr/128[any] -> ::0/0[ike] udp bypass

      cga_addr/128[ike] -> ::0/0[any] udp bypass

      cga_addr/128[any] -> ::0/0[any] any require (ipsec/ah/esp/
      transport)


5.2 Tunnel Mode Opportunistic IPsec

   This section uses the model and mechanism described in ([9]) applied
   with IKE.  Tunnel Mode Opportunistic IPsec is used to secure
   communications between two CGA-enabled nodes (Alice and Bob), while
   this traffic is in transit between Alice and Bob's OSGW's (GW_i
   denotes the IKE initiator and GW_r the responder).

   [Alice]<---[GW_i]<=i=p=s=e=c==t=u=n=n=e=l=>[GW_r]--->[Bob]

   Bootstrapping a tunnel mode IPsec SA between two CGA-enabled nodes is
   not as straightforward as it is for transport mode, because (1) the
   responder OSGW GW_r needs to be discovered by the initiator OSGW
   GW_i, and (2) both initiator and responder OSGW need to be authorized
   by the source and destination CGA's respectively of the data packet
   that initially triggered this exchange.  Thus, a Tunnel Mode OSP
   always contains an entry with the unspecified IPv6 address (i.e.,
   ::0) as a placeholder for both tunnel endpoints (local and remote).
   If we denote by NetworkPrefix/pflen the network prefix and associated
   length where Alice resides, a typical Tunnel Mode OSP should look
   like that on the interface of GW_i attached to the Internet:

      INBOUND:

      ::0/0[ike] -> GW_i/128[any] udp bypass

      ::0/0[any] -> GW_i/128[ike] udp bypass

      ::0/0[any] -> NetworkPrefix/pflen[any] any require (ipsec/ah/esp/
      tunnel=::0->::0)

      OUTBOUND:

      GW_i/128[any] -> ::0/0[ike] udp bypass

Internet-Draft    Using IKE with IPv6 Cryptographically Generated Address                    June 2003


      GW_i/128[ike] -> ::0/0[any] udp bypass

      NetworkPrefix/pflen[any] -> ::0/0[any] any require (ipsec/ah/esp/
      tunnel=::0->::0)

   GW_i can discover GW_r by initiating the IKE exchange towards a per
   network prefix anycast address allocated by IANA.  Others discovery
   means are also possible, like those described in [4] that makes use
   of DNS queries to retrieve the OSGW associated with a given host.
   OSGW authorization imply the verification of authorization (a.k.a.
   delegation) certificates with the TS_i and TS_r payloads.  Each GW
   holds a Crypto-Based Identifier (CBID) and each node that want its
   traffic to be protected by this gateway uses a CGA.  The gateway
   holds one SPKI authorization certificate per node it protects.  For
   instance, Alice should provide its OSGW GW_i with an authorization
   certificate issued by her CGA authorizing the CBID of GW_i to act as
   an OSGW:

      Alice_CGA =>GW_i_CBID : OSGW

   Bob should similarly provide its OSGW GW_r with a certificate issued
   by his CGA authorizing the CBID of GW_r to to act as an OSGW:

      Bob_CGA =>GW_r_CBID : OSGW

   When a packet from Alice to Bob triggers an IKE exchange, the two
   OSGW's GW_i and GW_r merely prove ownership of their CBID's and
   exchange authorization certificates issued by Alice and Bob's CGAs
   authorizing their respective OSGW's to act as such.  Following that,
   they negotiate and configure a pair of bidirectional SA's between the
   two gateways:

      GW_i -> GW_r spi=0x...  ipsec tunnel ah/esp keys=...

      GW_i -> GW_r spi=0x...  ipsec tunnel ah/esp keys=...

   And they finally add two news SPD entries specifying that subsequent
   communications between Alice and Bob's CGA's require IPsec
   protection:

      Alice_CGA/128[any] -> Bob_CGA/128[any] any require (ipsec/ah/esp/
      tunnel=GW_i->GW_r)

      Bob_CGA/128[any] -> Alice_CGA/128[any] any require (ipsec/ah/esp/
      tunnel=GW_i->GW_r)

6. ISAKMP Payload usage and requirements

   A peer implementing OIPsec has to use ISAKMP payloads in a specific
   manner.  The following subsections describe usage and requirements of
   some of the ISAKMP payloads while performing IKE_AUTH and
   CREATE_CHILD_SA exchanges.

6.1 Identification Payload

   The Identification (ID) Payload of IKE contains the name of the
   entity to be authenticated with the Authentication (AUTH) Payload.
   When using CGA, the name of the node is its CGA.  Though CGA are IPv6
   Addresses as well, a peer embedding its CGA within the ID payload
   under the type ID_IPV6_ADDR would not trigger any verification of the
   PK-CGA binding on the other side.  Hence, we believe that a new ID
   type is needed to explicitly state the cryptographic nature of a CGA
   and require verification of the binding.  Thus, a peer wanting to
   prove CGA ownership MUST use an ID payload of type ID_IPV6_CGADDR
   containing its CGA.  The value of type ID_IPV6_CGADDR is initially
   assigned out of the range 249-255 reserved for "private use amongst
   cooperating systems", as per [2].  If justified, a subsequent, more
   official assignment will imply IANA involvement.  As per CGA, CBID
   might require a new ID type as well.  This is however very similar to
   the already proposed FullID type [7].

6.2 Certificate Payload

   The Certificate (CERT) Payload provide a means to transport
   certificates within IKE packets.  When performing CGA ownership
   exchange, certificates should be used to transmit to the
   correspondent the public key used to generate the CGA.  When
   performing a tunnel mode CREATE_CHILD_SA exchange, authorization
   certificates issued by the data packet source and destination CGA's
   should be exchanged.  Though several types of certificates are
   specified in [1], we only use those that contains either a public key
   for CGA proof-of-ownership (i.e., PKCS7_WRAPP_X509_CERT, PGP_CERT,
   DNS_SIGNED_KEY, X509_CERT_SIGNATURE and SPKI_CERT) or an
   authorization certificates (i.e., SPKI_CERT).  A peer wanting to
   prove CGA ownership MUST send a CERT payload that contains the public
   key used when generating its CGA.  An OSGW's wanting to prove that it
   is authorized to act as an OSGW for a given CGA MUST send a CERT
   payload containing a SPKI authorization certificates issued by this
   CGA.

6.3 Certificate Request Payload

   The Certificate Request (CERTREQ) Payload is used by a peer to
   request preferred certificates to its correspondent.  A preference is

Internet-Draft    Using IKE with IPv6 Cryptographically Generated Address                    June 2003


   the type of certificate requested as well as an acceptable
   certificate authority for this type.  A peer can include multiples
   preferences using several CERTREQ payload.  For CGA, certificates
   used would usually be self-signed, though this does not preclude one
   to generate its CGA using a CA-signed certificate.

6.4 Authentication Payload

   The Authentication (AUTH) Payload contains data used to authenticate
   the entity named in the ID payload (i.e., the CGA owner).  Since CGA
   are generated using public key cryptography, the AUTH payload has to
   contain a digital signature of the message computed using the public
   key contained in the CERT payload.  Currently specified digital
   signature algorithms includes RSA and DSA, but this scheme could be
   used with any public key cryptographic algorithm.

6.5 Traffic Selector Payload

   The Traffic Selector (TS) Payload contains headers used to identify
   IP packet flows which need IPsec processing.  In the case of CGA
   OIPsec, those flows will fly between two CGA's.  Hence we require
   that the TS payloads used contains CGA's.  This imply that the TS
   Type is set to TS_IPV6_ADDR.  Those CGA's will subsequently need to
   be validated against X509 and possibly SPKI certificates contained in
   the CERT payloads exchanged.

7. IKE_AUTH and CREATE_CHILD_SA validation

   [1] does not mandate that two peers exchanging keys use the same
   means of authenticating themselves.  Available means of
   authentication are Digital Signatures, Public Key Encryption and Pre-
   shared Secret.  It is explicitly stated that end-points are not
   required to use the same means of authenticating themselves.  One
   could use pre-shared secret, while the other could use a digital
   signature.  This note does not conflict with that, allowing one or
   both entities to prove CGA ownership, thus allowing one to possibly
   use another means of authenticating itself.

   CGA-aware IKE peers wanting to exchange traffic with CGA enabled
   nodes (e.g.  nodes or OSGW's) MUST verify CGA ownership.  CGA-aware
   IKE implementation should thus be modified to handle CGA
   verification, which is very similar to how they currently handle
   self-signed certificates.  Apart from verifying the self-signed
   certificate, the implementation MUST verify that the public key
   contained in the certificate (or the certificate itself) generate the
   address used in the identity payload as previously detailed
   (ID_IPV6_CGA == SHA1(X509Cert{PK} | NetworkPrefix).

7.1 Opportunistic Transport Mode

   Validation of the IKE_SA_AUTH only requires CGA-PK binding
   verification.  Because the IKE peers that just prove CGA ownership
   will also be the endpoints of any subsequently created transport mode
   CHILD_SA, validation of future CREATE_CHILD_SA requests will
   obviously not require additional verification since the endpoints
   CGA's are already verified.

7.2 Opportunistic Tunnel Mode

   Tunnel Mode requires that an OSGW verify the PK-CBID binding of its
   correspondent OSGW (instead of PK-CGA), and the PK-CGA binding of the
   source and destination CGA's of the data packet that initially
   triggered this exchange.  Those CGA's are embedded within the TS_i
   and TS_r payloads.  Then the two OSGW's mutually prove themselves
   that they add been authorized to act as OSGW's for the traffic
   implied by TS_i and TS_r.

      o The responder verifies that it has an SPKI authorization
      certificate issued by the destination CGA embedded in the TS_r
      payload, and vice versa for the initiator.

      o The responder verify that it received a CERT payload containing
      a valid SPKI authorization certificate issued by the CGA embedded
      within the TS_i payload, and vice versa for the initiator.

8. Conclusion

   This note presents an overview of how IKE and CGA can be combined to
   achieve Opportunistic IPsec.  The CGA technique is sufficiently well
   understood and can use widely deployed and implemented mechanisms.
   This proposal works in the absence of any previously established
   direct or indirect (via a broker, AAA roaming operator or trusted
   third party) security relationship.  Because of this, these methods
   are a very practical and deployable means of using IPsec between
   previously unknown peers.

9. Security Considerations

   This document discusses possible use of IKE as a means to prove CGA
   ownership and exchange keys to bootstrap IPsec SA's.  Because IKE has
   already been specified and this technique only slightly modifies it,
   we believe that this should not raise other security concerns that
   those incurred by CGA proof-of-ownership.  Though the cryptographic
   algorithm used are the same, CGA proof-of-ownership is very different
   in nature to authentication.  One must be especially careful when
   establishing the security policy, as this technique allows nodes that
   use their own IPv6 CGA to be successfully authenticated as their
   "owner".  This is similar in essence to IKE used with self-signed
   certificates, with the additional consideration that CGA binds the
   address to the public key.  A CGA may be considered as a verifiable
   self-generated address.

   The Opportunistic IPsec application of this scheme might be subject
   to Denial of Service (DoS) attacks.  There is two types of such
   attacks: fake/malicious initiator and fake/malicious destination.

   A rogue opportunistic security gateway may attack from 'outside',
   trying to exhaust the gateway's resources by attempting to establish
   as many opportunistic IPsec tunnels as it can towards machine of the
   protected network prefix.  This is done by initiating many IKE
   exchanges.  The fake initiator typically sends a lot of spoofed
   packets with random source addresses.  This does not cause much harm
   as the IKE exchange will not progress any further.  On the other
   hand, the malicious initiator sends regular packets to progress into
   the IKE exchange.  Fortunately, as the gateway will refuse an
   exchange that is not about protecting a node for which it had a SPKI
   delegation certificate, the attacker need to know which protected
   node to attacks to succeed in its attack.  Solutions are either to
   perform a brute-force 'search' on a possible destination CGA while
   negotiating the CHILD-SA, but then the attacker is committed to
   complete an IKE exchange per attacked address.  This might eventually
   lead to a detection of the attack.

10. Open Issues

   This document introduce a new ID payload type, ID_IPV6_CGADDR.
   However, it is not yet clear what is the most appropriate means of
   requiring peers to verify the PK-CGA binding.  Other means are
   possible.  In particular, the revised identity proposal [7] seems to
   fulfill the requirements for CGA's and CBID's proof-of-ownership.
