Internet-Draft          Integrating rxgk with AFS             March 2013


1.  Introduction

   rxgk [I-D.wilkinson-afs3-rxgk] is a new GSSAPI-based [RFC2743]
   security layer for the RX [RX] remote procedure call system.  The
   rxgk specification details how it may be used with a generic RX
   application.  This document provides additional detail specific to
   integrating rxgk with the AFS-3 distributed file system.

1.1.  The AFS-3 Distributed File System

   AFS-3 is a global distributed network file system.  The system is
   split into a number of cells, with a cell being the administrative
   boundary.  Typically an organisation will have one (or more) cells,
   but a cell will not span organisations.  Each cell contains a number
   of fileservers which contain collections of files ("volumes") which
   they make available to clients using the AFS-3 protocol.  Clients
   access these files using a service known as the cache manager.

   In order to determine which server a particular file is located upon,
   the cache manager looks up the location in the volume location
   database (vldb) by contacting the vlserver.  Each cell has one or
   more vlservers, which are synchronised using an out-of-band
   mechanism.

1.2.  rxgk and AFS

   This document describes special integration steps needed to use rxgk
   with AFS-3 database servers (the PR and VL rx services) and file
   servers (the RXAFS, RXAFSCB, and AFSVol rx services), as well as
   specifying application-specific portions of the rxgk specification
   for use by these services.  Other AFS-3 services are not covered by
   this document; the generic rxgk document applies to them.  AFS-3
   differs from the standard rxgk implementation in that it does not
   require GSSAPI negotiation with each server.  Instead, a client
   performs GSSAPI negotiation just once (with the vlserver), receiving
   a token usable with any server in the cell that has the cell-wide
   key.  Traditional AFS rxkad authentication required that the cell-
   wide key be distributed to all servers in the cell, both database
   servers and file servers. rxgk can operate in such a fashion, with
   the cell-wide key shared amongst all servers.

   For more complex cell topologies, rxgk also supports configurations
   where (some) file servers do not have the cell-wide key, by means of
   an extended version of the CombineTokens RPC.  This new RPC,
   AFSCombineTokens, takes a server identifier, and will return a token
   encrypted with a key for a specific server.  AFSCombineTokens also
   provides support for indicating whether a specific server is rxgk
   capable, allowing cells to securely migrate to rxgk from other

Internet-Draft          Integrating rxgk with AFS             March 2013


   security mechanisms.

   We also define mechanisms for securing the callback channel that is
   created between fileserver and client.

1.3.  Requirements Language

   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 RFC 2119 [RFC2119].


2.  Security Index

   When used within the AFS protocol, rxgk has an RX securityIndex value
   of 4.


3.  Key Negotiation

   An AFS cell wishing to support rxgk MUST run an rxgk key negotiation
   service, as specified in [I-D.wilkinson-afs3-rxgk], on each of its
   vlservers.  The service MUST listen on the same port as the vlserver.

   The GSS identity afs-rxgk@_afs.<cellname> of nametype
   GSS_C_NT_HOSTBASED_SERVICE is the acceptor identity for this service.
   Where multiple vlservers exist for a single cell, all of these
   servers must have access to the key material for this identity, which
   MUST be identical across the cell.  Clients MAY use the presence of
   this identity as an indicator of rxgk support for a particular cell.
   Clients that wish to support cells using other rx security objects
   MAY downgrade if this identity is not available.

   Tokens returned from the GSSNegotiate call MUST only be used with
   database servers.  Tokens for fileservers MUST be obtained by calling
   AFSCombineTokens before each server is contacted.

3.1.  The AFSCombineTokens Operation

   AFS extends the existing CombineTokens operation to provide a general
   token manipulation service.  This operation takes a user token, an
   optional cache manager token, options for enctype and security level
   negotiation with the server, and a destination identifier.  It
   returns a token specific to the specified destination, and a
   structure containing some cleartext information describing the
   returned token.

       AFSCombineTokens(IN RXGK_Data *token0,
                        IN RXGK_Data *token1,
                        IN RXGK_CombineOptions *options,
                        IN afsUUID destination,
                        OUT RXGK_Data *new_token,
                        OUT RXGK_TokenInfo *token_info) = 3;

   token0:  An rxgk token obtained using the GSSNegotiate RPC.

   token1:  Either an rxgk token obtained using the GSSNegotiate RPC, or
         empty (zero-length).

   options:  An RXGK_CombineOpeions structure containing a list of
         enctypes acceptable to the client and a list of security levels
         acceptable to the client.

   destination:  The UUID of the server new_token is intended for.
         Fileserver UUIDs may be obtained from the VLDB in the same call
         that returns their addresses.

   new_token:  The output rxgk token, or empty (zero-length).

   token_info:  Information describing the returned token.

   The AFSCombineTokens call MUST only be performed over a secured rxgk
   connection.  AFSCombineTokens MUST NOT be offered over an
   RXGK_LEVEL_CLEAR connection.  Servers MUST reject all attempts to
   perform this operation over channels that do not offer integrity
   protection.

   Clients which are caching the results of RPCs on behalf of multiple
   users (such as a traditional AFS Cache Manager), SHOULD provide both
   the user's token (as token0) and a token generated from an identity
   that is private to the cache manager (as token1).  This prevents a
   user from poisoning the cache for other users.  Recommendations on
   keying cache managers are contained in Section 6.1.

   Clients which are working on behalf of a single user can provide an
   empty token1, but MUST use AFSCombineTokens to obtain a destination
   specific token for each fileserver they contact.

   Clients using a printed token (see Section 7.1) MUST provide that
   token as token0. token1 MUST be empty.  Printed tokens cannot be
   combined with any other token, and servers MUST reject attempts to do
   so.

   If the server is unable to perform the AFSCombineTokens operation
   with the given arguments, a nonzero value is returned in the

   errorcode field of token_info; errorcode is zero for a successful
   AFSCombineTokens operation.  If errorcode is nonzero, the values of
   the other fields in token_info and the value of new_token are
   undefined.

   If the returned token is zero-length, then the destination does not
   support rxgk, and the client MAY fall back to using a different
   authentication mechanism for that server.  An rxgk capable client
   operating within an rxgk enabled cell MUST NOT downgrade its choice
   of security layer in any other situation.

   Other aspects of the operation of AFSCombineTokens, including the
   values for the errorcode field of token_info and the combination of
   keys and tokens, are the same as the CombineTokens RPC, documented in
   CombineTokens call, documented in [I-D.wilkinson-afs3-rxgk].


4.  Tokens

4.1.  Container

   rxgk tokens for AFS take the form of some key management data,
   followed by an encrypted data blob.  The key management data (a
   version number, followed by an [RFC3961] encryption type) allows the
   server receiving a token to identify which pre-shared key has been
   used to encrypt the core token data.

       struct RXGK_TokenContainer {
         afs_int32 kvno;
         afs_int32 enctype;
         opaque    encrypted_token<>;
       };

   The RXGK_TokenContainer structure is XDR encoded and transported
   within the 'token' field of the RXGK_ClientInfo structure specified
   in [I-D.wilkinson-afs3-rxgk].

4.2.  Token Encryption

   Token contents are encrypted using a pre-shared key. rxgk supports
   both the use of a single cell-wide key and the use of per-server
   keys.  The cell-wide key must be installed on all servers which are
   capable of accepting cell-wide tokens.  Cell-wide keys should be for
   a selected RFC3961 encryption mechanism that is supported by all
   servers within the cell that will accept cell-wide tokens.  Per-
   server keys should be for an encryption mechanism that is supported
   by both the destination server and the negotiation service.  The
   management of per-server keys is discussed in more detail in

Internet-Draft          Integrating rxgk with AFS             March 2013


   Section 13.2.

   Key rollover is permitted by means of a key version number.  When the
   key is changed, a different key version number MUST be selected.
   Servers SHOULD accept tokens using old keys until the lifetime of all
   existing tokens has elapsed.

   Encryption is performed over the XDR encoded RXGK_Token structure,
   using the RFC3961 encrypt operation, with a key usage value of
   RXGK_SERVER_ENC_TOKEN (defined in [I-D.wilkinson-afs3-rxgk]).  The
   enrypted data is stored in the encryted_token field of the
   TokenContainer structure described in Section 4.1.

4.3.  Token Contents

   The token itself contains the information expressed by the following
   RPC-L:

       struct RXGK_Token {
         afs_int32 enctype;
         opaque K0<>;
         RXGK_Level level;
         rxgkTime start_time;
         afs_int32 lifetime;
         afs_int32 bytelife;
         rxgkTime expirationtime;
         struct PrAuthName identities<>;
       };

   enctype:  The RFC3961 encryption type of the session key contained
         within this ticket.

   K0:   The session key (see [I-D.wilkinson-afs3-rxgk] for details of
         how this key is negotiated between client and negotiation
         service).

   level:  The security level, as defined in [I-D.wilkinson-afs3-rxgk],
         that MUST be used for this connection.

   start_time:  The time at which the token's validity begins.  Servers
         MUST reject attempts to use tokens with a start_time value
         later than the current time.

   lifetime:  The maximum number of seconds that a key derived from K0
         may be used for, before the connection is rekeyed.  If 0, keys
         have no time-based limit.

Internet-Draft          Integrating rxgk with AFS             March 2013


   bytelife:  The maximum amount of data (expressed as the log base 2 of
         the number of bytes) that may be transferred using a key
         derived from K0 before the connection is rekeyed.  If 0, there
         is no data-based limit on key usage.

   expirationtime:  The time (expressed as an rxgkTime) beyond which
         this token may no longer be used.  Servers MUST reject attempts
         to use connections secured with this token after this time.  A
         time of 0 indicates that this token never expires.

   identities:  A list of identities represented by this token. struct
         PrAuthName is the identity structure defined in
         [I-D.brashear-afs3-pts-extended-names].


5.  Authenticator Data

   The appdata opaque within the RXGK_Authenticator structure contains
   the results of XDR encoding the RXGK_Authenticator_AFSAppData
   structure.  The uuid field contains the UUID of the client.

       struct RXGK_Authenticator_AFSAppData {
       afsUUID uuid;
       };


6.  Client Tokens

   In order to protect users of a multi-user cache manager from each
   other, it must be impossible for an individual user to determine the
   key used to protect operations which affect the cache.  This requires
   that the cache manager have key material of its own which can be
   combined with that of the user.  This functionality is provided by
   the AFSCombineTokens call specified earlier in this document.
   However, this call requires that a cache manager have access to a
   token for this purpose.

6.1.  Keyed Clients

   When a host already has key material for a GSSAPI mechanism supported
   by rxgk, that material MAY be used to key the client.  The client
   simply calls the rxgk negotiation service using the relevant
   material, and obtains a token.  The client SHOULD frequently
   regenerate this token, to avoid combined tokens having unnecessarily
   close expiration times.  The client SHOULD NOT regenerate this token
   so often so as to place excessive load on the vlservers.

   It is recommended that identities created specifically for use by a

Internet-Draft          Integrating rxgk with AFS             March 2013


   cache manager have the name afs3-callback@<hostname> where <hostname>
   is the fully qualified domain name of the cache manager.

6.2.  Unkeyed Clients

   When a client has no key material, it is possible that an anonymous
   GSSAPI connection may succeed.  Clients MAY attempt to negotiate such
   a connection by calling GSS_Init_sec_context() with the anon_req_flag
   [RFC2743] and the default credentials set.


7.  Server to Server Communication

   A number of portions of the AFS protocol require that servers
   communicate amongst themselves.  To secure this with rxgk we require
   both a mechanism of generating tokens for these servers to use, and a
   definition of which identities are permitted for authorisation
   purposes.  We refer to the process of forging tokens for local use,
   given access to the cell-wide pre-shared key, as "token printing".

7.1.  Token Printing

   A server with access to the cell-wide pre-shared key may print its
   own tokens for server to server access.  To do so, it should
   construct a token with suitable values.  The list of identities in
   such a token MUST be empty.  It can then encrypt this token using the
   pre-shared key, and use it in the same way as a normal rxgk token.
   The receiving server can identify it is a printed token by the empty
   identity list.

   The session key within a printed token MUST use the same encryption
   type as the pre-shared key.  When connecting to a fileserver, a
   client SHOULD use the AFSCombineTokens service as discussed above to
   ensure that they are using the correct key for the fileserver.


8.  Declaring rxgk Support for a Fileserver

   The AFSCombineTokens call has specific behaviour when a destination
   endpoint does not support rxgk.  Implementing this behaviour requires
   that the vlserver be aware of whether a fileserver supports rxgk.

   Fileservers currently register with the vlserver using the
   VL_RegisterAddrs RPC.  Fileservers which support rxgk MUST call this
   RPC over a rxgk protected connection.  The vlserver then infers rxgk
   support from the rx security layer used in registration.  To prevent
   downgrade attacks, once a fileserver has registered as being rxgk
   capable, the vlserver MUST NOT remove that registration without

Internet-Draft          Integrating rxgk with AFS             March 2013


   administrator intervention.

   Once a fileserver has been marked as supporting rxgk,
   VL_RegisterAddrs calls for that fileserver MUST only be accepted over
   an rxgk protected connection. vlservers MUST only accept calls to
   VL_RegisterAddrs from a printed token, an administrator, or the
   identity registered for the fileserver using a prior call to
   VL_RegisterAddrsandKey.


9.  Per Server Keys

   The provisioning of servers with their own keys, rather than the
   cell-wide master key, requires the ability to maintain a directory of
   these keys on the vlserver, so that the AFSCombineTokens RPC can
   encrypt the outgoing token with the correct key.  The manner in which
   this directory is maintained is left to the implementor, who MAY
   decide to use a manual, or out of band, key management system.
   Otherwise, the automated keying mechanism described as follows will
   be used.

   Implementations supporting automatic key management through the AFS-3
   protocol MUST provide the VL_RegisterAddrsAndKey RPC (similar to the
   VL_RegisterAddrs RPC).  This RPC is called by a fileserver to
   register itself with the VLDB; it MUST be called over an rxgk-secured
   connection.  For the purpose of this RPC, the fileserver acts as the
   client and the vlserver as the server.  Once the RPC completes, the
   client can generate a key to be used as the fileserver's server key.

   vlservers MUST NOT permit calls to VL_RegisterAddrsAndKey for UUIDs
   which already exist within the vldb, unless that UUID already has a
   server-specific key registered.  When a new fileserver first
   registers with the vldb using VL_RegisterAddrsAndKey, the vlserver
   MUST store the identity used to make this connection.  The vlserver
   MUST only permit subsequent calls to VL_RegisterAddrsAndKey for this
   UUID when they come from this identity, an administrator, or a
   printed token.  New fileserver UUIDs register themselves with the
   vldb in a "leap of faith", binding a GSSAPI identity to the
   fileserver UUID for future authenticated operations.  Fileservers
   SHOULD use VL_RegisterAddrsAndKey to rekey themselves periodically,
   in accordance with key lifetime best practices.

   The VL_RegisterAddrsAndKey RPC is described by the following RPC-L:

   ipaddr:  The list of addresses to register as belonging to this
         fileserver.

   secIndex:  The index of the security mechanism for which a key is
         being set.  For rxgk, this value MUST be 4.

   keyDataRequest:  An opaque blob of data, specific to the security
         mechanism defined by secIndex.  For rxgk, it is the XDR-encoded
         representation of an RXGK_ServerKeyDataRequest structure.

   keyDataResponse:  An opaque blob of data, specific to the security
         mechanism defined by secIndex.  For rxgk, it is the XDR-encoded
         representation of an RXGK_ServerDataResponse structure.

   The client provides, in the RXGK_ServerKeyDataRequest structure, a
   list of the RFC3961 encryption types that it will accept as a server
   key.  It also provides a nonce containing 20 random data bytes.

   The server selects an encryption type shared by it and the client,
   and returns that, along with 20 bytes of random data that it has
   generated, in RXGK_ServerKeyDataResponse.  If there is no common
   encryption type, then the server MUST fail the request.

   The server key can then be derived by both client and server using

        random-to-key(PRF+(K0, K, nonce1 || nonce2));

   random-to-key is the function specified by the RFC3961 profile of the
   encryption type chosen by the server and returned in enctype.

   PRF+ is the function of that name specified by [RFC4402].

   K0 is the master key of the current rxgk session, as originally
   determined by the GSSNegotiate call.

   K is the key generation seed length as specified in enctype's RFC3961
   profile.

   || is the concatenation operation.


10.  Securing the Callback Channel

   AFS has traditionally had an unprotected callback channel.  However,
   extended callbacks [I-D.benjamin-extendedcallbackinfo] require a
   mechanism for ensuring that callback breaks and, critically, data
   updates, are protected.  This requires that there is a strong
   connection between the key material used initially to perform the
   RPC, and that which is used to protect any resulting callback.  We
   achieve this using the cache manager token discussed in Section 6.1,
   which is required in order for a client to accept secure callbacks.

   A cache manager may set a key for secure callbacks by issuing the
   following RPC (in the RXAFS service):

        RXAFS_SetCallBackKey(afs_int32 securityIndex,
                             opaque mech_data<>) = XXX;

   securityIndex:  The securityIndex of the mechanism for which this key
         is being set.  In the rxgk case, this will be rxgk's security
         index, 4.

   mech_data:  This contains the security object specific data.  In
         rxgk's case this is an XDR encoded RXGK_Token structure.

   When used with rxgk, this RPC MUST be performed over an rxgk
   protected connection established using solely the cache manager's
   token.  This connection MUST have a security level of
   RXGK_LEVEL_CRYPT.

   If a fileserver receives an RXAFS_SetCallBackKey call protected with

Internet-Draft          Integrating rxgk with AFS             March 2013


   a different cache manager identity than the previous call from that
   client, it MUST break all secure callbacks held by that client using
   the old key before this RPC completes.

   Only RPCs issued over an rxgk protected connection should receive
   rxgk protected callbacks.

   The fileserver MUST only send rxgk protected callbacks when one of
   the identities performing the RPC establishing that callback matches
   the identity associated with that clients callback channel.


11.  IANA Considerations

   This memo includes no request to IANA.


12.  AFS-3 Registry Considerations

   This document requrests that the AFS-3 registry allocate code points
   for the new RPCs AFSCombineTokens (for the RXGK service),
   RegisterAddrsAndKey (for the VL service), and SetCallBackKey (for the
   RXAFS service).


13.  Security Considerations

13.1.  Downgrade attacks

   Using the presence of a GSSAPI key to determine a cell's ability to
   perform rxgk is vulnerable to a downgrade attack, as an attacker may
   forge error responses.  Cells which no longer support rxkad should
   remove their afs@REALM and afs/cell@REALM Kerberos keys.

13.2.  Per Server Keys

   The mechanism for automatically registering per-server keys is
   potentially vulnerable, as it trades a short-lived key (the rxgk
   session key, which protects the key exchange) for a long-lived one
   (the server key).  There is precedent for this sort of key exchange,
   such as when using kadmin to extract a new kerberos keytab.

13.3.  Combined Key Materials

   As described in Section 6, combined tokens are used to prevent cache
   poisoning attacks on multi-user systems.  In order for this
   protection to be effective, cache managers MUST NOT provide user
   access to keys produced through the combine tokens operation, unless

   those keys will not be used by the cache manger itself.
