                     Camellia Cipher Suites for TLS

Abstract

   This document specifies a set of cipher suites for the Transport
   Security Layer (TLS) protocol to support the Camellia encryption
   algorithm as a block cipher.  It amends the cipher suites originally
   specified in RFC 4132 by introducing counterparts using the newer
   cryptographic hash algorithms from the SHA-2 family.  This document
   obsoletes RFC 4132.

1.  Introduction

   This document proposes the addition of new cipher suites to the
   Transport Layer Security (TLS) [RFC5246] protocol to support the
   Camellia [RFC3713] encryption algorithm as a block cipher algorithm,
   adding variants using the SHA-2 family of cryptographic hash
   algorithms [FIPS180-3] to the TLS cipher suite portfolio originally
   specified in RFC 4132 [RFC4132].  This document obsoletes RFC 4132.

   The Camellia algorithm and its properties are described in [RFC3713].

1.1.  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 [RFC2119].

2.  Proposed Cipher Suites

   The cipher suites defined here have the following identifiers:

  CipherSuite TLS_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_128_CBC_SHA         = { 0x00,0x41 };
  CipherSuite TLS_DH_DSS_WITH_CAMELLIA_128_CBC_SHA      = { 0x00,0x42 };
  CipherSuite TLS_DH_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_128_CBC_SHA      = { 0x00,0x43 };
  CipherSuite TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_CAMELLIA_128_CBC_SHA     = { 0x00,0x44 };
  CipherSuite TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_128_CBC_SHA     = { 0x00,0x45 };
  CipherSuite TLS_DH_anon_WITH_CAMELLIA_128_CBC_SHA     = { 0x00,0x46 };

  CipherSuite TLS_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA         = { 0x00,0x84 };
  CipherSuite TLS_DH_DSS_WITH_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA      = { 0x00,0x85 };
  CipherSuite TLS_DH_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA      = { 0x00,0x86 };
  CipherSuite TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA     = { 0x00,0x87 };
  CipherSuite TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA     = { 0x00,0x88 };
  CipherSuite TLS_DH_anon_WITH_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA     = { 0x00,0x89 };

Kato, et al.                 Standards Track                    [Page 2]
RFC 5932             Camellia Cipher Suites for TLS            June 2010

  CipherSuite TLS_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_128_CBC_SHA256      = { 0x00,0xBA };
  CipherSuite TLS_DH_DSS_WITH_CAMELLIA_128_CBC_SHA256   = { 0x00,0xBB };
  CipherSuite TLS_DH_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_128_CBC_SHA256   = { 0x00,0xBC };
  CipherSuite TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_CAMELLIA_128_CBC_SHA256  = { 0x00,0xBD };
  CipherSuite TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_128_CBC_SHA256  = { 0x00,0xBE };
  CipherSuite TLS_DH_anon_WITH_CAMELLIA_128_CBC_SHA256  = { 0x00,0xBF };

  CipherSuite TLS_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA256      = { 0x00,0xC0 };
  CipherSuite TLS_DH_DSS_WITH_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA256   = { 0x00,0xC1 };
  CipherSuite TLS_DH_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA256   = { 0x00,0xC2 };
  CipherSuite TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA256  = { 0x00,0xC3 };
  CipherSuite TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA256  = { 0x00,0xC4 };
  CipherSuite TLS_DH_anon_WITH_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA256  = { 0x00,0xC5 };

3.  Cipher Suite Definitions

3.1.  Key Exchange

   The RSA, DHE_RSA, DH_RSA, DHE_DSS, DH_DSS, and DH_anon key exchanges
   are performed as defined in [RFC5246].

3.2.  Cipher

   The CAMELLIA_128_CBC cipher suites use Camellia [RFC3713] in Cipher
   Block Chaining (CBC) mode with a 128-bit key and 128-bit IV; the
   CAMELLIA_256_CBC cipher suites use a 256-bit key and 128-bit IV.

3.3.  Hash and Pseudorandom Function

3.3.1.  Hash and Pseudorandom Function for TLS 1.1

   The cipher suites ending with _SHA use HMAC-SHA1 as the MAC
   algorithm.

   When used with TLS versions prior to 1.2, the pseudorandom function
   (PRF) is calculated as specified in the appropriate version of the
   TLS specification.

3.3.2.  Hash and Pseudorandom Function for TLS 1.2

   The cipher suites ending with _SHA256 use HMAC-SHA-256 as the MAC
   algorithm.  The PRF is the TLS PRF [RFC5246] with SHA-256 as the hash
   function.  These cipher suites MUST NOT be negotiated by TLS 1.1 or
   earlier versions.  Clients MUST NOT offer these cipher suites if they
   do not offer TLS 1.2 or later.  Servers that select an earlier
   version of TLS MUST NOT select one of these cipher suites.

4.  IANA Considerations

   IANA has updated the entries for the following numbers that were
   allocated in RFC 4132 to reference this document:

  CipherSuite TLS_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_128_CBC_SHA         = { 0x00,0x41 };
  CipherSuite TLS_DH_DSS_WITH_CAMELLIA_128_CBC_SHA      = { 0x00,0x42 };
  CipherSuite TLS_DH_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_128_CBC_SHA      = { 0x00,0x43 };
  CipherSuite TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_CAMELLIA_128_CBC_SHA     = { 0x00,0x44 };
  CipherSuite TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_128_CBC_SHA     = { 0x00,0x45 };
  CipherSuite TLS_DH_anon_WITH_CAMELLIA_128_CBC_SHA     = { 0x00,0x46 };

  CipherSuite TLS_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA         = { 0x00,0x84 };
  CipherSuite TLS_DH_DSS_WITH_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA      = { 0x00,0x85 };
  CipherSuite TLS_DH_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA      = { 0x00,0x86 };
  CipherSuite TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA     = { 0x00,0x87 };
  CipherSuite TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA     = { 0x00,0x88 };
  CipherSuite TLS_DH_anon_WITH_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA     = { 0x00,0x89 };

   IANA has allocated the following numbers in the TLS Cipher Suite
   Registry:

  CipherSuite TLS_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_128_CBC_SHA256      = { 0x00,0xBA };
  CipherSuite TLS_DH_DSS_WITH_CAMELLIA_128_CBC_SHA256   = { 0x00,0xBB };
  CipherSuite TLS_DH_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_128_CBC_SHA256   = { 0x00,0xBC };
  CipherSuite TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_CAMELLIA_128_CBC_SHA256  = { 0x00,0xBD };
  CipherSuite TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_128_CBC_SHA256  = { 0x00,0xBE };
  CipherSuite TLS_DH_anon_WITH_CAMELLIA_128_CBC_SHA256  = { 0x00,0xBF };

  CipherSuite TLS_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA256      = { 0x00,0xC0 };
  CipherSuite TLS_DH_DSS_WITH_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA256   = { 0x00,0xC1 };
  CipherSuite TLS_DH_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA256   = { 0x00,0xC2 };
  CipherSuite TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA256  = { 0x00,0xC3 };
  CipherSuite TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA256  = { 0x00,0xC4 };
  CipherSuite TLS_DH_anon_WITH_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA256  = { 0x00,0xC5 };

5.  Security Considerations

   At the time of writing this document, there are no known weak keys
   for Camellia, and no security problem has been found on Camellia (see
   [NESSIE], [CRYPTREC], and [LNCS]).

   Also, security issues are discussed throughout RFC 5246 [RFC5246],
   especially in Appendices D, E, and F.
