Robust Scheduling against Selective Jamming in 6TiSCH Networks
draft-tiloca-6tisch-robust-scheduling-01
Abstract
This document defines a method to generate robust TSCH schedules in a
6TiSCH (IPv6 over the TSCH mode of IEEE 802.15.4-2015) network, so as
to protect network nodes against selective jamming attack. Network
nodes independently compute the new schedule at each slotframe, by
altering the one originally available from 6top or alternative
protocols, while preserving a consistent and collision-free
communication pattern. This method can be added on top of the
minimal security framework for 6TiSCH.

1. Introduction
Nodes in a 6TiSCH network communicate using the IEEE 802.15.4-2015
standard and its Timeslotted Channel Hopping (TSCH) mode. Some
properties of TSCH make schedule units, i.e. cells, and their usage
predictable, even if security services are used at the MAC layer.
This allows an external adversary to easily derive the communication
pattern of a victim node. After that, the adversary can perform a
selective jamming attack, by covertly, efficiently, and effectively
transmitting over the only exact cell(s) in the victim's schedule.
This document describes a method to counteract such an attack. At
each slotframe, every node autonomously computes a TSCH schedule, as
a pseudo-random permutation of the one originally available from 6top
[RFC8480] or alternative protocols.
Tiloca, et al. Expires June 20, 2019 [Page 2]
Internet-Draft Robust Scheduling in 6TiSCH Networks December 2018
The resulting schedule is provided to TSCH and used to communicate
during the next slotframe. In particular, the new communication
pattern results unpredictable for an external adversary. Besides,
since all nodes compute the same pseudo-random permutation, the new
communication pattern remains consistent and collision-free.
The proposed solution is intended to operate on slotframes that are
used for data transmission by current network nodes, and that are not
used to join the network. In fact, since the TSCH schedule is
altered at each slotframe, the proposed method cannot be applied to
slotframes that include a "minimal cell" [RFC8180] and possible other
randez-vouz cells used for joining the 6TiSCH network.
This document specifies also how this method can be added on top of
the minimal security framework for 6TiSCH and its Constrained Join
Protocol (CoJP) [I-D.ietf-6tisch-minimal-security].
1.1. Terminology
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.
Readers are expected to be familiar with terms and concepts defined
in [I-D.ietf-6tisch-minimal-security], [I-D.ietf-6tisch-terminology]
and [RFC8152].
This document refers also to the following terminology.
o Permutation key. A cryptographic key shared by network nodes and
used to permute schedules. Different keys are used to permute the
utilization pattern of timeslots and of channelOffsets.
2. Properties of TSCH that Simplify Selective Jamming
This section highlights a number of properties of the TSCH cell usage
that greatly simplify the performance of the selective jamming attack
described in Section 3.
Given:
o N_S as the size of slotframes in timeslots;
o N_C as the number of available channelOffsets;
Tiloca, et al. Expires June 20, 2019 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft Robust Scheduling in 6TiSCH Networks December 2018
o The channel 'f' to communicate at timeslot 's' with ASN and
channelOffset 'chOff' computed as f = F[(ASN + chOff) mod N_C];
And assuming for simplicity that:
o N_S and N_C are coprime values;
o The channel hopping sequence is N_C in size and equal to {0, 1,
..., N_C - 1};
Then, the following properties hold:
o Periodicity property. The sequence of channels used for
communication by a certain cell repeats with period (N_C x N_S)
timeslots.
o Usage property. Within a period, every cell uses all the
available channels, each of which only once.
o Offset property. All cells follow the same sequence of channels
with a certain offset.
o Predictability property. For each cell, the sequence of channels
is predictable. That is, by knowing the channel used by a cell in
a given timeslot, it is possible to compute the remaining channel
hopping sub-sequence.
In fact, given a cell active on channel 'f' and timeslot 's' on
slotframe 'T', and since ASN = (s + T x N_S), it holds that
f = [(s + T x N_S + c) mod N_C] (Eq. 1)
By solving this equation in 'c', one can predict the channels used
by the cell in the next sloframes. Note that, in order to do
that, one does not need to know the absolute number 'T' of the
slotframe (and thus the exact ASN) in which timeslot 's' uses a
certain channel 'f'. In fact, one can re-number slotframes
starting from any arbitrarily assumed "starting-slotframe".
3. Selective Jamming Attack
This section describes how an adversary can exploit the properties
listed in Section 2, and determine the full schedule of a victim
node, even if security services at the MAC layer are used.
This allows the adversary to selectively jam only the exact cell(s)
in the victim's schedule, while greatly limiting the exposure to
detection. At the same time, the attack is highly effective in
Tiloca, et al. Expires June 20, 2019 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft Robust Scheduling in 6TiSCH Networks December 2018
jeopardizing victim's communications, and is highly energy-efficient,
i.e., can be carried out on battery.
For simplicity, the following description also assumes that a victim
node actually transmits/receives during all its allocated cells at
each slotframe.
3.1. Adversary Model
This specification addresses an adversary with the following
properties.
o The adversary is external, i.e. it does not control any node
registered in the 6TiSCH network.
o The adversary wants to target precise network nodes and their
traffic. That is, it does not target the 6TiSCH network as a
whole, and does not perform a wide-band constant jamming.
o The adversary is able to target multiple victim nodes at the same
time. This may require multiple jamming sources and/or multiple
antennas per jamming source to carry out the attack.
Furthermore, compared to wide-band constant jamming, the considered
selective jamming attack deserves special attention to be addressed,
due to the following reasons.
o It is much more energy efficient.
o It minimizes the adversary's exposure and hence the chances to be
detected.
o It has the same effectiveness on the intended victim nodes. That
is, it achieves the same goal, while avoiding the unnecessarily
exposure and costs of wide-band constant jamming.
It is worth noting that a wide-band constant jamming can achieve the
same result more easily, in the extreme cases where the target
slotframe is (nearly) fully used by a few nodes only, or the
adversary has as many antennas as the number of available channels.
However, this would still come at the cost of high exposure and
higher energy consumption for the adversary.
3.2. Attack Example
The following example considers Figure 1, where N_S = 3, N_C = 4, and
the channel hopping sequence is {0,1,2,3}. The shown schedule refers
to a network node that uses three cells 'L_1', 'L_2' and 'L_3', with
Tiloca, et al. Expires June 20, 2019 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft Robust Scheduling in 6TiSCH Networks December 2018
{0,3}, {1,1} and {2,0} as pairs {timeslot, channelOffset},
respectively.

Figure 1: Attack Example with Slotframe Re-numbering
1. The adversary starts the attack at absolute slotframe T = 1,
which is assumed as "starting-slotframe" and thus renamed as
slotframe t = 0. The renaming is possible due to the offset and
predictability properties.
2. The adversary picks a channel 'f*' at random, and monitors it for
N_C consecutive slotframes to determine the timeslots in which
the victim node communicates on that channel. Due to the usage
property, the number of such timeslots is equal to the number of
cells assigned to the victim node.
With reference to Figure 1, if, for example, f* = 1, the
adversary determines that the victim node uses channel 'f*' in
timeslots s = 1 and s = 2 of slotframe t = 0 and in timeslot s =
0 of slotframe t = 1. The adversary can then deduce that the
victim node uses three different cells 'L_1', 'L_2' and 'L_3', in
timeslots 0, 1 and 2, respectively.
3. The adversary determines the channels on which the victim node is
going to transmit in the next slotframes, by exploiting the
predictability property.
Tiloca, et al. Expires June 20, 2019 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft Robust Scheduling in 6TiSCH Networks December 2018
That is, by instantiating Equation 1 for cell L_1, timeslot s = 0
and slotframe t = 1, one gets [1 = (3 + c_1) mod 4], which has
solution for c_1 = 2. Hence, the function to predict the channel
'f_1' to be used by cell 'L_1' in a slotframe 't', t >= 1, is f_1
= [(2 + 3 x t) mod 4], which produces the correct periodic
sequence of channels {1, 0, 3, 2}. Similarly, one can instantiate
Equation 1 for cells 'L_2' and 'L_3', so producing the respective
periodic sequence of channels {1,0,3,2} and {1,0,3,2}.
4. The adversary has discovered the full schedule of the victim node
and can proceed with the actual selective jamming attack. That
is, according to the found schedule, the adversary transmits over
the exact cells used by the victim node for transmission/
reception, while staying quiet and saving energy otherwise. This
results in a highly effective, highly efficient and hard to
detect attack against communications of network nodes.
4. Building Robust Schedules
This section defines a method to protect network nodes against the
selective jamming attack described in Section 3. The proposed method
alters the communication pattern of all network nodes at every
slotframe, in a way unpredictable for the adversary.
At each slotframe 'T', network nodes autonomously compute the
communication pattern for the next slotframe 'T+1' as a pseudo-random
permutation of the one originally available. In order to ensure that
the new communication pattern remains consistent and collision-free,
all nodes compute the same permutation of the original one. In
particular, at every slotframe, each node separately and
independently permutes its timeslot utilization pattern (optionally)
as well as its channelOffset utilization pattern.
To perform the required permutations, all network nodes rely on a
same secure pseudo-random number generator (SPRNG) as shown in
Figure 2, where E(x,y) denotes a cipher which encrypts a plaintext
'y' by means of a key 'x'. Network nodes MUST support the AES-CCM-
16-64-128 algorithm.
unsigned random(unsigned K, unsigned z) {
unsigned val = E(K,z);
return val;
}
Figure 2: Secure Pseudo-Random Number Generator
All network nodes share the same following pieces of information.
Tiloca, et al. Expires June 20, 2019 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft Robust Scheduling in 6TiSCH Networks December 2018
o K_s, a permutation key used to permute the timeslot utilization
pattern, and used as input to the random() function in Figure 2.
K_s is provided upon joining the network, and MAY be provided as
described in Section 5.
o K_c, a permutation key used to permute the channelOffset
utilization pattern, and used as input to the random() function in
Figure 2. K_c is provided upon joining the network, and MAY be
provided as described in Section 5.
o z_s, a counter used to permute the timeslot utilization pattern,
and used as input to the random() function in Figure 2. At the
beginning of each slotframe, z_s is equal to the ASN value of the
first timeslot of that slotframe. Then, z_s grows by N_S from the
beginning of a slotframe to the beginning of the next one.
o z_c, a counter used to permute the channelOffset utilization
pattern, and used as input to the random() function in Figure 2.
At the beginning of each slotframe, z_c is equal to [N_C x
floor(ASN* / N_S)], where ASN* is the ASN value of the first
timeslot of that slotframe. Then, z_c grows by N_C from the
beginning of a slotframe to the beginning of the next one.
Then, at every slotframe, each network node takes the following
steps, and generates its own permuted communication schedule to be
used at the following slotframe. The actual permutation of cells
relies on the well-known Fisher-Yates algorithm, that requires to
generate n pseudo-random numbers in order to pseudo-randomly shuffle
a vector of n elements.
1. First, a pseudo-random permutation is performed on the timeslot
dimension of the slotframe. This requires N_S invocations of
random(K,z), consistently with the Fisher-Yates algorithm. In
particular, K = K_s, while z_s is passed as second argument and
is incremented by 1 after each invocation. The result of this
step is a permuted timeslot utilization pattern, while the
channelOffset utilization pattern is not permuted yet.
2. Second, a pseudo-random permutation is performed on the
channelOffset dimension of the slotframe. This requires N_C
invocations of random(K,z), consistently with the Fisher-Yates
algorithm. In particular, K = K_c, while z_c is passed as second
argument and is incremented by 1 after each invocation. The
result of this step is a fully shuffled communication pattern.
The resulting schedule is then provided to TSCH and considered for
sending/receiving traffic during the next slotframe.
Tiloca, et al. Expires June 20, 2019 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft Robust Scheduling in 6TiSCH Networks December 2018
As further discussed in Section 6.3, it is possible, although NOT
RECOMMENDED, to skip step 1 above, and hence permute only the
channelOffset utilization pattern, while keeping a static timeslot
utilization pattern.
Note for implementation: the process described above can be
practically implemented by using two vectors, i.e. one for shuffling
the timeslot utilization pattern and one for shuffling the
channelOffset utilization pattern.
5. Adaptation to the 6TiSCH Minimal Security Framework
The security mechanism described in this specification can be added
on top of the minimal security framework for 6TiSCH
[I-D.ietf-6tisch-minimal-security].
That is, the two permutation keys K_s and K_c can be provided to a
pledge when performing the Constrained Join Protocol (CoJP) defined
in Section 8 of [I-D.ietf-6tisch-minimal-security].
To this end, the Configuration CBOR object [RFC7049] used as payload
of the Join Response Message and defined in Section 8.4.2 of
[I-D.ietf-6tisch-minimal-security] is extended with two new CoJP
parameters defined in this specification, namely 'permutation key
set' and 'permutation cipher'. The resulting payload of the Join
Response message is as follows.
Configuration = {
? 2 : [ +Link_Layer_Key ], ; link-layer key set
? 3 : Short_Identifier, ; short identifier
? 4 : bstr, ; JRC address
? 6 : [ *bstr ], ; blacklist
? 7 : uint, ; join rate
? TBD : [ +Permutation_Key ], ; permutation key set
? TBD : Permutation_Cipher ; permutation cipher
}
The parameter 'permutation key set' is an array encompassing one or
two permutation keys encoded as byte strings. That is, the encoding
of each individual permutation key is as follows.
Permutation_Key = (
key_value : bstr
(
If the 6TiSCH network uses the security mechanism described in this
specification, the parameter 'permutation key set' MUST be included
Tiloca, et al. Expires June 20, 2019 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft Robust Scheduling in 6TiSCH Networks December 2018
in the CoJP Join Response message and the pledge MUST interpret it as
follows.
o In case only one permutation key is present, it is used as K_c to
permute the channelOffset utilization pattern as per Section 4.
o In case two permutation keys are present, the first one is used as
K_s to permute the timeslot utilization pattern, while the second
one is used as K_c to permute the channelOffset utilization
pattern, as per Section 4. The two keys MUST have the same
length.
The parameter 'permutation cipher' indicates the encryption algorithm
used for the secure pseudo-random number generator as per Figure 2 in
Section 4. The value is one of the encryption algorithms defined for
COSE [RFC8152], and is taken from Tables 9, 10 and 11 of [RFC8152].
In case the parameter is omitted, the default value of AES-CCM-
16-64-128 (COSE algorithm encoding: 10) MUST be assumed.
5.1. Error Handling
In case 'permutation key set' includes two permutation keys with
different length or more than two permutation keys, the pledge
considers 'permutation key set' not valid and MUST signal the error
as specified in Section 8.3.1 of [I-D.ietf-6tisch-minimal-security].
The pledge MUST validate that keys included in 'permutation key set'
are appropriate for the encryption algorithm specified in
'permutation cipher' or assumed as default. In case of failed
validation, the pledge MUST signal the error as specified in
Section 8.3.1 of [I-D.ietf-6tisch-minimal-security].
6. Security Considerations
With reference to Section 3.9 of [RFC7554], this specification
achieves an additional "Secure Communication" objective, namely it
defines a mechanism to build and enforce a TSCH schedule which is
robust against selective jamming attack, while at the same time
consistent and collision-free.
Furthermore, the same security considerations from the minimal
security framework for 6TiSCH [I-D.ietf-6tisch-minimal-security] hold
for this document. The rest of this section discusses a number of
additional security considerations.
Tiloca, et al. Expires June 20, 2019 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft Robust Scheduling in 6TiSCH Networks December 2018
6.1. Effectiveness of Schedule Shuffling
The countermeasure defined in Section 4 practically makes each node's
schedule look random to an external observer. Hence, it prevents the
adversary from performing the attack described in Section 3.
Then, a still available strategy for the adversary is to jam a number
of cells selected at random, possibly on a per-slotframe basis. This
considerably reduces the attack effectiveness in successfully
jeopardizing victims' communications.
At the same time, nodes using different cells than the intended
victims' would experience an overall slightly higher fraction of
corrupted messages. In fact, the communications of such accidental
victims might be corrupted by the adversary, when they occur during a
jammed timeslot and exactly over the channelOffset chosen at random.
6.2. Renewal of Key Material
It is RECOMMENDED that the two permutation keys K_s and K_c are
revoked and renewed every time a node leaves the network. This
prevents a leaving node to keep the permutation keys, which may be
exploited to selectively jam communications in the network.
This rekeying operation is supposed to be performed anyway upon every
change of network membership, in order to preserve backward and
forward security. In particular, new IEEE 802.15.4 link-layer keys
are expected to be distributed before a new pledge can join the
network, or after one or more nodes have left the network.
The specific approach to renew the two permutation keys, possibly
together with other security material, is out of the scope of this
specification.
6.3. Static Timeslot Allocations
As mentioned in Section 4 and Section 5, it is possible to permute
only the channelOffset utilization pattern, while preserving the
originally scheduled timeslot utilization pattern. This can be
desirable, or even unavoidable in some scenarios, in order to
guarantee end-to-end latencies in multi-hop networks, as per
accordingly designed schedules.
However, it is NOT RECOMMENDED to preserve a static timeslot
utilization pattern, as this would considerably increase the attack
surface for a random jammer adversary. That is, the adversary would
immediately learn the timeslot utilization pattern of a victim node,
Tiloca, et al. Expires June 20, 2019 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft Robust Scheduling in 6TiSCH Networks December 2018
and would have a chance to successfully jam a victim's cell equal to
(1 / N_C).
6.4. Network Joining Through Randez-vous Cells
As described in [I-D.ietf-6tisch-minimal-security], a pledge joins a
6TiSCH network through a Join Proxy (JP), according to the
Constrained Join Protocol (CoJP) and based on the information
conveyed in broadcast Enhanced Beacons (EBs). In particular, the
pledge will communicate with the JP over randez-vous cells indicated
in the EBs.
In practice, such cells are commonly part of a separate slotframe,
which includes one scheduled "minimal cell" [RFC8180], typically used
also for broadcasting EBs. Such slotframe, i.e. Slotframe 0, usually
differs from the slotframe(s) used for both EBs and data
transmission.
In order to keep the join process feasible and deterministic, the
solution described in this specification is not applied to Slotframe
0 or any other slotframes that include randez-vous cells for joining.
As a consequence, an adversary remains able to selectively jam the
"minimal cell" (or any randez-vous cell used for joining), so
potentially jeopardizing the CoJP and preventing pledges to join the
network altogether.
