RFC 5904               RADIUS Attributes for PKMv1             June 2010

1.  Introduction

   Privacy Key Management Version 1 (PKMv1) [IEEE.802.16-2004] is a
   public-key-based authentication and key establishment protocol
   typically used in fixed wireless broadband network deployments.  The
   protocol utilizes X.509 v3 certificates [RFC2459], RSA encryption
   [RFC2437], and a variety of secret key cryptographic methods to allow
   an 802.16 Base Station (BS) to authenticate a Subscriber Station (SS)
   and perform key establishment and maintenance between an SS and BS.

   This document defines a set of RADIUS Attributes that are designed to
   provide support for PKMv1.  The target audience for this document
   consists of those developers implementing RADIUS support for PKMv1;
   therefore, familiarity with both RADIUS [RFC2865] and the IEEE
   802.16-2004 standard is assumed.

   Please note that this document relies on IEEE.802.16-2004, which
   references RFC 2437 and RFC 2459, rather than any more recent RFCs on
   RSA and X.509 certificates (e.g., RFC 3447 and RFC 5280).

2.  Acronyms

   CA
      Certification Authority; a trusted party issuing and signing X.509
      certificates.

   For further information on the following terms, please see Section 7
   of [IEEE.802.16-2004].

      140 PKM-Cryptosuite-List

      141 PKM-SAID

      142 PKM-SA-Descriptor

      143 PKM-Auth-Key

3.1.  PKM-SS-Cert

   Description

      The PKM-SS-Cert Attribute is variable length and MAY be
      transmitted in the Access-Request message.  The Value field is of
      type string and contains the X.509 certificate [RFC2459] binding a
      public key to the identifier of the Subscriber Station.

      The minimum size of an SS certificate exceeds the maximum size of
      a RADIUS attribute.  Therefore, the client MUST encapsulate the
      certificate in the Value fields of two or more instances of the
      PKM-SS-Cert Attribute, each (except possibly the last) having a
      length of 255 octets.  These multiple PKM-SS-Cert Attributes MUST
      appear consecutively and in order within the packet.  Upon
      receipt, the RADIUS server MUST recover the original certificate
      by concatenating the Value fields of the received PKM-SS-Cert
      Attributes in order.

   A summary of the PKM-SS-Cert Attribute format is shown below.  The
   fields are transmitted from left to right.

3.2.  PKM-CA-Cert

   Description

      The PKM-CA-Cert Attribute is variable length and MAY be
      transmitted in the Access-Request message.  The Value field is of
      type string and contains the X.509 certificate [RFC2459] used by
      the CA to sign the SS certificate carried in the PKM-SS-Cert
      attribute (Section 3.1) in the same message.

      The minimum size of a CA certificate exceeds the maximum size of a
      RADIUS attribute.  Therefore, the client MUST encapsulate the
      certificate in the Value fields of two or more instances of the
      PKM-CA-Cert Attribute, each (except possibly the last) having a
      length of 255 octets.  These multiple PKM-CA-Cert Attributes MUST
      appear consecutively and in order within the packet.  Upon
      receipt, the RADIUS server MUST recover the original certificate
      by concatenating the Value fields of the received PKM-CA-Cert
      Attributes in order.

   A summary of the PKM-CA-Cert Attribute format is shown below.  The
   fields are transmitted from left to right.

3.3.  PKM-Config-Settings

   Description

      The PKM-Config-Settings Attribute is of type string [RFC2865].  It
      is 30 octets in length and consists of seven independent fields,
      each of which is conceptually an unsigned integer.  Each of the
      fields contains a timeout value and corresponds to a Type-Length-
      Value (TLV) tuple encapsulated in the IEEE 802.16 "PKM
      configuration settings" attribute; for details on the contents of
      each field, see Section 11.9.19 of [IEEE.802.16-2004].  One
      instance of the PKM-Config-Settings Attribute MAY be included in
      the Access-Accept message.

   A summary of the PKM-Config-Settings Attribute format is shown below.
   The fields are transmitted from left to right.

RFC 5904               RADIUS Attributes for PKMv1             June 2010

   Auth Wait Timeout

      The Auth Wait Timeout field is 4 octets in length and corresponds
      to the "Authorize wait timeout" field of the 802.16 "PKM
      configuration settings" attribute.

   Reauth Wait Timeout

      The Reauth Wait Timeout field is 4 octets in length and
      corresponds to the "Reauthorize wait timeout" field of the 802.16
      "PKM configuration settings" attribute.

   Auth Grace Time

      The Auth Grace Time field is 4 octets in length and corresponds to
      the "Authorize grace time" field of the 802.16 "PKM configuration
      settings" attribute.

   Op Wait Timeout

      The Op Wait Timeout field is 4 octets in length and corresponds to
      the "Operational wait timeout" field of the 802.16 "PKM
      configuration settings" attribute.

   Rekey Wait Timeout

      The Rekey Wait Timeout field is 4 octets in length and corresponds
      to the "Rekey wait timeout" field of the 802.16 "PKM configuration
      settings" attribute.

   TEK Grace Time

      The TEK Grace Time field is 4 octets in length and corresponds to
      the "TEK grace time" field of the 802.16 "PKM configuration
      settings" attribute.

   Auth Rej Wait Timeout

3.4.  PKM-Cryptosuite-List

   Description

      The PKM-Cryptosuite-List Attribute is of type string [RFC2865] and
      is variable length; it corresponds roughly to the "Cryptographic-
      Suite-List" 802.16 attribute (see Section 11.19.15 of
      [IEEE.802.16-2004]), the difference being that the RADIUS
      Attribute contains only the list of 3-octet cryptographic suite
      identifiers, omitting the IEEE Type and Length fields.

      The PKM-Cryptosuite-List Attribute MAY be present in an Access-
      Request message.  Any message in which the PKM-Cryptosuite-List
      Attribute is present MUST also contain an instance of the Message-
      Authenticator Attribute [RFC3579].

      Implementation Note

         The PKM-Cryptosuite-List Attribute is used as a building block
         to create the 802.16 "Security-Capabilities" attribute
         ([IEEE.802.16-2004], Section 11.9.13); since this document only
         pertains to PKM version 1, the "Version" sub-attribute in that
         structure MUST be set to 0x01 when the RADIUS client constructs
         it.

   A summary of the PKM-Cryptosuite-List Attribute format is shown
   below.  The fields are transmitted from left to right.

                        1                   2                   3

      The Value field is variable length and contains a sequence of one
      or more cryptosuite identifiers, each of which is 3 octets in
      length and corresponds to the Value field of an IEEE 802.16
      Cryptographic-Suite attribute.

3.5.  PKM-SAID

   Description

      The PKM-SAID Attribute is of type string [RFC2865].  It is 4
      octets in length and contains a PKM Security Association
      Identifier ([IEEE.802.16-2004], Section 11.9.7).  It MAY be
      included in an Access-Request message.

   Type

      143 for PKM-AUTH-Key

   Len

      135

   Lifetime

      The Lifetime field is 4 octets in length and represents the
      lifetime, in seconds, of the authorization key.  For more
      information, see Section 11.9.4 of [IEEE.802.16-2004].

   Sequence

      The Sequence field is one octet in length.  The contents
      correspond to those of the Value field of an IEEE 802.16 Key-
      Sequence-Number attribute (see [IEEE.802.16-2004], Section
      11.9.5).

   Key

      The Key field is 128 octets in length.  The contents correspond to
      those of the Value field of an IEEE 802.16 AUTH-Key attribute.
      The Key field MUST be encrypted under the public key from the
      Subscriber Station certificate (Section 3.1) using RSA encryption
      [RFC2437]; see Section 7.5 of [IEEE.802.16-2004] for further
      details.

      Implementation Note

         It is necessary that a plaintext copy of this field be returned
         in the Access-Accept message; appropriate precautions MUST be
         taken to ensure the confidentiality of the key.

RFC 5904               RADIUS Attributes for PKMv1             June 2010

3.7.1.  AUTH-Key Protection

   The PKM-AUTH-Key Attribute (Section 3.7) contains the AUTH-Key
   encrypted with the SS's public key.  The BS also needs the AK, so a
   second copy of the AK needs to be returned in the Access-Accept
   message.

   It is RECOMMENDED that the AK is encapsulated in an instance of the
   MS-MPPE-Send-Key Attribute [RFC2548].  However, see Section 4.3.4 of
   RFC 3579 [RFC3579] for details regarding weaknesses in the encryption
   scheme used.

   If better means for protecting the Auth-Key are available (such as
   RADIUS key attributes with better security properties, or means of
   protecting the whole Access-Accept message), they SHOULD be used
   instead of (or in addition to) the MS-MPPE-Send-Key Attribute.

4.  Table of Attributes

   The following table provides a guide to which attributes may be found
   in which kinds of packets, and in what quantity.

   Request Accept Reject Challenge Acct-Req  #   Attribute
   0+      0      0      0         0        137 PKM-SS-Cert [Note 1]
   0+      0      0      0         0        138 PKM-CA-Cert [Note 2]
   0       0-1    0      0         0        139 PKM-Config-Settings
   0-1     0      0      0         0        140 PKM-Cryptosuite-List
   0-1     0      0      0         0        141 PKM-SAID
   0       0+     0      0         0        142 PKM-SA-Descriptor
   0       0-1    0      0         0        143 PKM-Auth-Key
   0       0-1    0      0         0             MS-MPPE-Send-Key
                                                    [Note 3]

   [Note 1]
      No more than one Subscriber Station Certificate may be transferred
      in an Access-Request packet.

   [Note 2]
      No more than one CA Certificate may be transferred in an Access-
      Request packet.

   [Note 3]
      MS-MPPE-Send-Key is one possible attribute that can be used to
      convey the AK to the BS; other attributes can be used instead (see
      Section 3.7.1).

Zorn                          Informational                    [Page 12]
RFC 5904               RADIUS Attributes for PKMv1             June 2010

   The following table defines the meaning of the above table entries.

   0   This attribute MUST NOT be present in packet
   0+  Zero or more instances of this attribute MAY be present in packet
   0-1 Zero or one instance of this attribute MAY be present in packet
   1   Exactly one instance of this attribute MUST be present in packet

5.  Diameter Considerations

   Since the Attributes defined in this document are allocated from the
   standard RADIUS type space (see Section 7), no special handling is
   required by Diameter nodes.

6.  Security Considerations

   Section 4 of RFC 3579 [RFC3579] discusses vulnerabilities of the
   RADIUS protocol.

   Section 3 of the paper "Security Enhancements for Privacy and Key
   Management Protocol in IEEE 802.16e-2005" [SecEn] discusses the
   operation and vulnerabilities of the PKMv1 protocol.

   If the Access-Request message is not subject to strong integrity
   protection, an attacker may be able to modify the contents of the
   PKM-Cryptosuite-List Attribute, weakening 802.16 security or
   disabling data encryption altogether.

   If the Access-Accept message is not subject to strong integrity
   protection, an attacker may be able to modify the contents of the
   PKM-Auth-Key Attribute.  For example, the Key field could be replaced
   with a key known to the attacker.

   See Section 3.7.1 for security considerations of sending the
   authorization key to the BS.

7.  IANA Considerations

   IANA has assigned numbers for the following Attributes:

      137 PKM-SS-Cert

      138 PKM-CA-Cert

      139 PKM-Config-Settings

      140 PKM-Cryptosuite-List

      141 PKM-SAID

Zorn                          Informational                    [Page 13]
RFC 5904               RADIUS Attributes for PKMv1             June 2010

      142 PKM-SA-Descriptor

      143 PKM-Auth-Key

   The Attribute numbers are to be allocated from the standard RADIUS
   Attribute type space according to the "IETF Review" policy [RFC5226].
