    IPsec Extensions to Support Robust Header Compression over IPsec

Abstract

   Integrating Robust Header Compression (ROHC) with IPsec (ROHCoIPsec)
   offers the combined benefits of IP security services and efficient
   bandwidth utilization.  However, in order to integrate ROHC with
   IPsec, extensions to the Security Policy Database (SPD) and Security
   Association Database (SAD) are required.  This document describes the
   IPsec extensions required to support ROHCoIPsec.

RFC 5858         IPsec Extensions to Support ROHCoIPsec         may 2010

1.  Introduction

   Using IPsec ([IPSEC]) protection offers various security services for
   IP traffic.  However, these benefits come at the cost of additional
   packet headers, which increase packet overhead.  By compressing the
   inner headers of these packets, the integration of Robust Header
   Compression (ROHC, [ROHC]) with IPsec (ROHCoIPsec, [ROHCOIPSEC]) can
   reduce the packet overhead associated with IPsec-protected flows.

   IPsec-protected traffic is carried over Security Associations (SAs),
   whose parameters are negotiated on a case-by-case basis.  The
   Security Policy Database (SPD) specifies the services that are to be
   offered to IP datagrams, and the parameters associated with SAs that
   have been established are stored in the Security Association Database
   (SAD).  For ROHCoIPsec, various extensions to the SPD and SAD that
   incorporate ROHC-relevant parameters are required.

   In addition, three extensions to IPsec processing are required.
   First, a mechanism for identifying ROHC packets must be defined.
   Second, a mechanism to ensure the integrity of the decompressed
   packet is needed.  Finally, the order of the inbound and outbound
   processing must be enumerated when nesting IP Compression (IPComp
   [IPCOMP]), ROHC, and IPsec processing.

2.  Terminology

   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 [BRA97].

3.  Extensions to IPsec Databases

   The following subsections specify extensions to the SPD and the SAD
   that MUST be supported for ROHCoIPsec.  The ROHCoIPsec fields in the
   SPD are used to populate the ROHCoIPsec parameters in the SAD during
   the initialization or rekey of a child SA.

   It is noted that these extensions do not have any implications on
   existing SPD fields or SAD parameters.  Therefore, a ROHCoIPsec
   implementation is backwards-compatible with an IPsec implementation
   that does not support header compression.

   Appendix A provides an example ASN.1 representation of an SPD that is
   extended to support ROHC.

3.1.  Security Policy Database (SPD)

   In general, the SPD is responsible for specifying the security
   services that are offered to IP datagrams.  Entries in the SPD
   specify how to derive the corresponding values for SAD entries.  To
   support ROHC, the SPD is extended to include per-channel ROHC
   parameters.  Together, the existing IPsec SPD parameters and the ROHC
   parameters will dictate the security and header compression services
   that are provided to packets.

   The fields contained within each SPD entry are defined in RFC 4301
   [IPSEC], Section 4.4.1.2.  To support ROHC, several processing info
   fields are added to the SPD; these fields contain information
   regarding the ROHC profiles and channel parameters supported by the
   local ROHC instance.

   If the processing action associated with the selector sets is
   PROTECT, then the processing info must be extended with the following
   ROHC channel parameters:

      MAX_CID: This field indicates the highest context ID that will be
      decompressed by the local decompressor.  MAX_CID MUST be at least
      0 and at most 16383 (the value 0 implies having one context).

      MRRU: The MRRU parameter indicates the size of the largest
      reconstructed unit (in octets) that the local decompressor is
      expected to reassemble from ROHC segments.  This size includes the
      Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) and the ROHC Integrity Check Value
      (ICV).  NOTE: Since in-order delivery of ROHC packets cannot be
      guaranteed, the MRRU parameter SHOULD be set to 0 (as stated in
      Section 5.2.5.1 of RFC 5795 [ROHC] and Section 6.1 of RFC 5225
      [ROHCV2]), which indicates that no segment headers are allowed on
      the ROHCoIPsec channel.

      PROFILES: This field is a list of ROHC profiles supported by the
      local decompressor.  Possible values for this list are contained
      in the "RObust Header Compression (ROHC) Profile Identifiers"
      registry [ROHCPROF].

   In addition to these ROHC channel parameters, a ROHC integrity
   algorithm and a ROHC ICV Length field MUST be included within the
   SPD:

      ROHC INTEGRITY ALGORITHM: This field is a list of integrity
      algorithms supported by the ROHCoIPsec instance.  This will be
      used by the ROHC process to ensure that packet headers are
      properly decompressed (see Section 4.2).  Authentication
      algorithms that MUST be supported are specified in the

Ertekin, et al.              Standards Track                    [Page 4]
RFC 5858         IPsec Extensions to Support ROHCoIPsec         may 2010

      "Authentication Algorithms" table in Section 3.1.1 ("ESP
      Encryption and Authentication Algorithms") of RFC 4835
      [CRYPTO-ALG] (or its successor).

      ROHC ICV LENGTH: This field specifies the length of the ICV that
      is used in conjunction with the ROHC integrity algorithm.

   Several other ROHC channel parameters are omitted from the SPD,
   because they are set implicitly.  The omitted channel parameters are
   LARGE_CIDS and FEEDBACK_FOR.  The LARGE_CIDS channel parameter MUST
   be set based on the value of MAX_CID (i.e., if MAX_CID is <= 15,
   LARGE_CIDS is assumed to be 0).  Finally, the ROHC FEEDBACK_FOR
   channel parameter MUST be set to the ROHC channel associated with the
   SA in the reverse direction.  If an SA in the reverse direction does
   not exist, the FEEDBACK_FOR channel parameter is not set, and ROHC
   MUST NOT operate in bi-directional Mode.

3.2.  Security Association Database (SAD)

   Each entry within the SAD defines the parameters associated with each
   established SA.  Unless the "populate from packet" (PFP) flag is
   asserted for a particular field, SAD entries are determined by the
   corresponding SPD entries during the creation of the SA.

   The data items contained within the SAD are defined in RFC 4301
   [IPSEC], Section 4.4.2.1.  To support ROHC, the SAD must include a
   "ROHC Data Item"; this data item contains parameters used by ROHC
   instance.  The ROHC Data Item exists for both inbound and outbound
   SAs.

   The ROHC Data Item includes the ROHC channel parameters for the SA.
   These channel parameters (i.e., MAX_CID, PROFILES, MRRU) are
   enumerated above in Section 3.1.  For inbound SAs, the ROHC Data Item
   MUST specify the ROHC channel parameters that are used by the local
   decompressor instance; conversely, for outbound SAs, the ROHC Data
   Item MUST specify the ROHC channel parameters that are used by local
   compressor instance.

   In addition to these ROHC channel parameters, the ROHC Data Item for
   both inbound and outbound SAs MUST include three additional
   parameters.  Specifically, these parameters store the integrity
   algorithm, the algorithm's respective key, and the ICV length that is
   used by the ROHC process (see Section 3.2).  The integrity algorithm
   and its associated key are used to calculate a ROHC ICV of the
   specified length; this ICV is used to verify the packet headers post-
   decompression.

Ertekin, et al.              Standards Track                    [Page 5]
RFC 5858         IPsec Extensions to Support ROHCoIPsec         may 2010

   Finally, for inbound SAs, the ROHC Data Item MUST include a
   FEEDBACK_FOR parameter.  The parameter is a reference to a ROHC
   channel in the opposite direction (i.e., the outbound SA) between the
   same compression endpoints.  A ROHC channel associated with an
   inbound SA and a ROHC channel associated with an outbound SA MAY be
   coupled to form a bi-directional ROHC channel as defined in Sections
   6.1 and 6.2 in RFC 3759 [ROHC-TERM].

   "ROHC Data Item" values MAY be initialized manually (i.e.,
   administratively configured for manual SAs), or initialized via a key
   exchange protocol (e.g., IKEv2 [IKEV2]) that has been extended to
   support the signaling of ROHC parameters [IKE-ROHC].

4.  Extensions to IPsec Processing

4.1.  Identification of Header-Compressed Traffic

   A "ROHC" protocol identifier is used to identify header-compressed
   traffic on a ROHC-enabled SA.  If an outbound packet has a compressed
   header, the Next Header field of the security protocol header (e.g.,
   Authentication Header (AH) [AH], Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP)
   [ESP]) MUST be set to the "ROHC" protocol identifier.  If the packet
   header has not been compressed by ROHC, the Next Header field does
   not contain the "ROHC" protocol identifier.  Conversely, for an
   inbound packet, the value of the security protocol Next Header field
   MUST be checked to determine if the packet includes a ROHC header, in
   order to determine if it requires ROHC decompression.

   Use of the "ROHC" protocol identifier for purposes other than
   ROHCoIPsec is currently not defined.  Future protocols that make use
   of the allocation (e.g., other applications of ROHC in multi-hop
   environments) require specification of the logical compression
   channel between the ROHC compressor and decompressor.  In addition,
   these specifications will require the investigation of the security
   considerations associated with use of the "ROHC" protocol identifier
   outside the context of the Next Header field of security protocol
   headers.

4.2.  Verifying the Integrity of Decompressed Packet Headers

   As documented in Section 6.1.4 of [ROHCOIPSEC], ROHC is inherently a
   lossy compression algorithm: the consequences of significant packet
   reordering or loss between ROHC peers may include undetected
   decompression failures, where erroneous packets are forwarded into
   the protected domain.

Ertekin, et al.              Standards Track                    [Page 6]
RFC 5858         IPsec Extensions to Support ROHCoIPsec         may 2010

   To ensure that a decompressed header is identical to the original
   header, ROHCoIPsec MAY use an additional integrity algorithm (and
   respective key) to compute a second Integrity Check Value (ICV).
   This ROHC ICV MUST be computed over the uncompressed IP header, as
   well at the higher-layer headers and the packet payload.  When
   computed, the ICV is appended to the ROHC-compressed packet.  At the
   decompressor, the decompressed packet (including the uncompressed IP
   header, higher-layer headers, and packet payload; but not including
   the authentication data) will be used with the integrity algorithm
   (and its respective key) to compute a value that will be compared to
   the appended ICV.  If these values are not identical, the
   decompressed packet MUST be dropped.

   Figure 1 illustrates the composition of a ROHCoIPsec-processed IPv4
   packet.  In the example, TCP/IP compression is applied, and the
   packet is processed with tunnel mode ESP.

                BEFORE COMPRESSION AND APPLICATION OF ESP

   Figure 1.  Example of a ROHCoIPsec-Processed Packet

   Note: At the decompressor, the ROHC ICV field is not included in the
   calculation of the ROHC ICV.

4.2.1.  ICV Computation and Integrity Verification

   In order to correctly verify the integrity of the decompressed
   packets, the processing steps for ROHCoIPsec MUST be implemented in a
   specific order, as given below.

   For outbound packets that are processed by ROHC and are IPsec-
   protected:

   o  Compute an ICV for the uncompressed packet with the negotiated
      (ROHC) integrity algorithm and its respective key.

   o  Compress the packet headers (as specified by the ROHC process).

Ertekin, et al.              Standards Track                    [Page 7]
RFC 5858         IPsec Extensions to Support ROHCoIPsec         may 2010

   o  Append the ICV to the compressed packet.

   o  Apply AH or ESP processing to the packet, as specified in the
      appropriate SAD entry.

   For inbound packets that are to be decompressed by ROHC:

   o  Apply AH or ESP processing, as specified in the appropriate SAD
      entry.

   o  Remove the ICV from the packet.

   o  Decompress the packet header(s).

   o  Compute an ICV for the decompressed packet with the negotiated
      (ROHC) integrity algorithm and its respective key.

   o  Compare the computed ICV to the original ICV calculated at the
      compressor: if these two values differ, the packet MUST be
      dropped; otherwise, resume IPsec processing.

4.3.  ROHC Segmentation and IPsec Tunnel MTU

   In certain scenarios, a ROHCoIPsec-processed packet may exceed the
   size of the IPsec tunnel MTU.  RFC 4301 [IPSEC] currently stipulates
   the following for outbound traffic that exceeds the SA Path MTU
   (PMTU):

       Case 1: Original (cleartext) packet is IPv4 and has the Don't
               Fragment (DF) bit set.  The implementation should
               discard the packet and send a PMTU ICMP message.

       Case 2: Original (cleartext) packet is IPv4 and has the DF
               bit clear.  The implementation should fragment (before or
               after encryption per its configuration) and then forward
               the fragments.  It should not send a PMTU ICMP message.

       Case 3: Original (cleartext) packet is IPv6.  The implementation
               should discard the packet and send a PMTU ICMP message.

   For the ROHCoIPsec processing model, there is one minor change to the
   procedure stated above.  This change applies to pre-encryption
   fragmentation for Case 2.  Since current ROHC compression profiles do
   not support compression of IP packet fragments, pre-encryption
   fragmentation MUST NOT occur before ROHC processing.

Ertekin, et al.              Standards Track                    [Page 8]
RFC 5858         IPsec Extensions to Support ROHCoIPsec         may 2010

   If the compressed packet exceeds the SA PMTU, and the MRRU is non-
   zero, ROHC segmentation MAY be used to divide the packet, where each
   segment conforms to the tunnel MTU.  ROHC segmentation MUST occur
   before AH or ESP processing.  Because in-order delivery of ROHC
   segments is not guaranteed, the use of ROHC segmentation is not
   recommended.

   If segmentation is applied, the process MUST account for the
   additional overhead imposed by the IPsec process (e.g., AH or ESP
   overhead, crypto synchronization data, the additional IP header,
   etc.) such that the final IPsec-processed segments are less than the
   tunnel MTU.  After segmentation, each ROHC segment is consecutively
   processed by the appropriate security protocol (e.g., AH, ESP)
   instantiated on the ROHC-enabled SA.  Since ROHC segments are
   processed consecutively, the associated AH/ESP sequence number MUST
   be incremented by one for each segment transmitted over the ROHC
   channel.  As such, after all ROHC segments receive AH/ESP processing,
   these segments can be identified (at the remote IPsec implementation)
   by a range of contiguous AH/ESP sequence numbers.

   For channels where the MRRU is non-zero, the ROHCoIPsec decompressor
   MUST re-assemble the ROHC segments that are received.  To accomplish
   this, the decompressor MUST identify the ROHC segments (as documented
   in Section 5.2 of RFC 5795 [ROHC]), and attempt reconstruction using
   the ROHC segmentation protocol (Section 5.2.5 of RFC 5795 [ROHC]).
   To assist the reconstruction process, the AH/ESP sequence number
   SHOULD be used to identify segments that may have been subject to
   reordering.  If reconstruction fails, the packet MUST be discarded.

   As stated in Section 3.2.1, if the ROHC integrity algorithm is used
   to verify the decompression of packet headers, this ICV is appended
   to the compressed packet.  If ROHC segmentation is performed, the
   segmentation algorithm is executed on the compressed packet and the
   appended ICV.  Note that the ICV is not appended to each ROHC
   segment.

   Under certain circumstances, IPsec implementations will not process
   (or receive) unprotected ICMP messages, or they will not have a Path
   MTU estimated value.  In these cases, the IPsec implementation SHOULD
   NOT attempt to segment the ROHC-compressed packet, as it does not
   have full insight into the path MTU in the unprotected domain.

4.4.  Nested IPComp and ROHCoIPsec Processing

   IPComp ([IPCOMP]) is another mechanism that can be implemented to
   reduce the size of an IP datagram.  If IPComp and ROHCoIPsec are
   implemented in a nested fashion, the following steps MUST be followed
   for outbound and inbound packets.

Ertekin, et al.              Standards Track                    [Page 9]
RFC 5858         IPsec Extensions to Support ROHCoIPsec         may 2010

   For outbound packets that are to be processed by IPComp and ROHC:

   o  The ICV is computed for the uncompressed packet, and the
      appropriate ROHC compression profile is applied to the packet.

   o  IPComp is applied, and the packet is sent to the IPsec process.

   o  The security protocol is applied to the packet.

   Conversely, for inbound packets that are to be both ROHC- and IPComp-
   decompressed:

   o  A packet received on a ROHC-enabled SA is IPsec-processed.

   o  The datagram is decompressed based on the appropriate IPComp
      algorithm.

   o  The packet is sent to the ROHC module for header decompression and
      integrity verification.

5.  Security Considerations

   A ROHCoIPsec implementer should consider the strength of protection
   provided by the integrity check algorithm used to verify decompressed
   headers.  Failure to implement a strong integrity check algorithm
   increases the probability for an invalidly decompressed packet to be
   forwarded by a ROHCoIPsec device into a protected domain.

   The implementation of ROHCoIPsec may increase the susceptibility for
   traffic flow analysis, where an attacker can identify new traffic
   flows by monitoring the relative size of the encrypted packets (i.e.,
   a group of "long" packets, followed by a long series of "short"
   packets may indicate a new flow for some ROHCoIPsec implementations).
   To mitigate this concern, ROHC padding mechanisms may be used to
   arbitrarily add padding to transmitted packets to randomize packet
   sizes.  This technique, however, reduces the overall efficiency
   benefit offered by header compression.

6.  IANA Considerations

   IANA has allocated the value 142 to "ROHC" within the "Protocol
   Numbers" registry [PROTOCOL].  This value will be used to indicate
   that the next-level protocol header is a ROHC header.

Appendix A.  ASN.1 Representation for ROHCoIPsec

   This appendix is included as an additional way to describe the
   ROHCoIPsec parameters that are included in the IPsec SPD.  It uses
   portions of the ASN.1 syntax provided in Appendix C of RFC 4301
   [IPSEC].  In addition, several new structures are defined.

   This syntax has been successfully compiled.  However, it is merely
   illustrative and need not be employed in an implementation to achieve
   compliance.

   The "Processing" data structure, defined in Appendix C of RFC 4301,
   is augmented to include a ROHC parameters element as follows:

         Processing ::= SEQUENCE {
             extSeqNum   BOOLEAN, -- TRUE 64 bit counter, FALSE 32 bit
             seqOverflow BOOLEAN, -- TRUE rekey, FALSE terminate & audit
             fragCheck   BOOLEAN, -- TRUE stateful fragment checking,
                                  -- FALSE no stateful fragment checking
