1. Introduction
This document defines two encryption types and two corresponding
checksum types for Kerberos 5 using AES with 128-bit or 256-bit keys.
To avoid ciphertext expansion, we use a variation of the CBC-CS3 mode
defined in [SP800-38A+], also referred to as ciphertext stealing or
CTS mode. The new types conform to the framework specified in
[RFC3961], but do not use the simplified profile, as the simplified
profile is not compliant with modern cryptographic best practices
such as calculating Message Authentication Codes (MACs) over
ciphertext rather than plaintext.
The encryption and checksum types defined in this document are
intended to support environments that desire to use SHA-256 or
SHA-384 (defined in [FIPS180]) as the hash algorithm. Differences
between the encryption and checksum types defined in this document
and the pre-existing Kerberos AES encryption and checksum types
specified in [RFC3962] are:
* The pseudorandom function (PRF) used by PBKDF2 is HMAC-SHA-256 or
HMAC-SHA-384. (HMAC is defined in [RFC2104].)
* A key derivation function from [SP800-108] using the SHA-256 or
SHA-384 hash algorithm is used to produce keys for encryption,
integrity protection, and checksum operations.
Jenkins, et al. Informational [Page 2]
RFC 8009 AES-CTS HMAC-SHA2 For Kerberos 5 October 2016
* The HMAC is calculated over the cipher state concatenated with the
AES output, instead of being calculated over the confounder and
plaintext. This allows the message receiver to verify the
integrity of the message before decrypting the message.
* The HMAC algorithm uses the SHA-256 or SHA-384 hash algorithm for
integrity protection and checksum operations.
2. Protocol Key Representation
The AES key space is dense, so we can use random or pseudorandom
octet strings directly as keys. The byte representation for the key
is described in [FIPS197], where the first bit of the bit string is
the high bit of the first byte of the byte string (octet string).
3. Key Derivation Function
We use a key derivation function from Section 5.1 of [SP800-108],
which uses the HMAC algorithm as the PRF.
function KDF-HMAC-SHA2(key, label, [context,] k):
k-truncate(K1)
where the value of K1 is computed as below.
key: The source of entropy from which subsequent keys are derived.
(This is known as "Ki" in [SP800-108].)
label: An octet string describing the intended usage of the derived
key.
context: This parameter is optional. An octet string containing the
information related to the derived keying material. This
specification does not dictate a specific format for the context
field. The context field is only used by the pseudorandom function
defined in Section 5, where it is set to the pseudorandom function's
octet-string input parameter. The content of the octet-string input
parameter is defined by the application that uses it.
k: Length in bits of the key to be outputted, expressed in big-endian
binary representation in 4 bytes. (This is called "L" in
[SP800-108].) Specifically, k=128 is represented as 0x00000080, 192
as 0x000000C0, 256 as 0x00000100, and 384 as 0x00000180.
When the encryption type is aes128-cts-hmac-sha256-128, k must be no
greater than 256 bits. When the encryption type is
aes256-cts-hmac-sha384-192, k must be no greater than 384 bits.
Jenkins, et al. Informational [Page 3]
RFC 8009 AES-CTS HMAC-SHA2 For Kerberos 5 October 2016
The k-truncate function is defined in Section 5.1 of [RFC3961]. It
returns the 'k' leftmost bits of the bit-string input.
In all computations in this document, "|" indicates concatenation.
When the encryption type is aes128-cts-hmac-sha256-128, then K1 is
computed as follows:
If the context parameter is not present:
K1 = HMAC-SHA-256(key, 0x00000001 | label | 0x00 | k)
If the context parameter is present:
K1 = HMAC-SHA-256(key, 0x00000001 | label | 0x00 | context | k)
When the encryption type is aes256-cts-hmac-sha384-192, then K1 is
computed as follows:
If the context parameter is not present:
K1 = HMAC-SHA-384(key, 0x00000001 | label | 0x00 | k)
If the context parameter is present:
K1 = HMAC-SHA-384(key, 0x00000001 | label | 0x00 | context | k)
In the definitions of K1 above, '0x00000001' is the i parameter (the
iteration counter) from Section 5.1 of [SP800-108].
4. Key Generation from Pass Phrases
As defined below, the string-to-key function uses PBKDF2 [RFC2898]
and KDF-HMAC-SHA2 to derive the base-key from a passphrase and salt.
The string-to-key parameter string is 4 octets indicating an unsigned
number in big-endian order, consistent with [RFC3962], except that
the default is decimal 32768 if the parameter is not specified.
To ensure that different long-term base-keys are used with different
enctypes, we prepend the enctype name to the salt, separated by a
null byte. The enctype-name is "aes128-cts-hmac-sha256-128" or
"aes256-cts-hmac-sha384-192" (without the quotes).
Jenkins, et al. Informational [Page 4]
RFC 8009 AES-CTS HMAC-SHA2 For Kerberos 5 October 2016
The user's long-term base-key is derived as follows:
iter_count = string-to-key parameter, default is decimal 32768
saltp = enctype-name | 0x00 | salt
tkey = random-to-key(PBKDF2(passphrase, saltp,
iter_count, keylength))
base-key = random-to-key(KDF-HMAC-SHA2(tkey, "kerberos",
keylength))
where "kerberos" is the octet-string 0x6B65726265726F73.
where PBKDF2 is the function of that name from RFC 2898, the
pseudorandom function used by PBKDF2 is HMAC-SHA-256 when the enctype
is "aes128-cts-hmac-sha256-128" and HMAC-SHA-384 when the enctype is
"aes256-cts-hmac-sha384-192", the value for keylength is the AES key
length (128 or 256 bits), and the algorithm KDF-HMAC-SHA2 is defined
in Section 3.
5. Kerberos Algorithm Protocol Parameters
The cipher state defined in RFC 3961 that maintains cryptographic
state across different encryption operations using the same key is
used as the formal initialization vector (IV) input into CBC-CS3.
The plaintext is prepended with a 16-octet random value generated by
the message originator, known as a confounder.
The ciphertext is a concatenation of the output of AES in CBC-CS3
mode and the HMAC of the cipher state concatenated with the AES
output. The HMAC is computed using either SHA-256 or SHA-384
depending on the encryption type. The output of HMAC-SHA-256 is
truncated to 128 bits, and the output of HMAC-SHA-384 is truncated to
192 bits. Sample test vectors are given in Appendix A.
Decryption is performed by removing the HMAC, verifying the HMAC
against the cipher state concatenated with the ciphertext, and then
decrypting the ciphertext if the HMAC is correct. Finally, the first
16 octets of the decryption output (the confounder) is discarded, and
the remainder is returned as the plaintext decryption output.
The following parameters apply to the encryption types
aes128-cts-hmac-sha256-128 and aes256-cts-hmac-sha384-192.
protocol key format: as defined in Section 2.
specific key structure: three derived keys: { Kc, Ke, Ki }.
Kc: the checksum key, inputted into HMAC to provide the checksum
mechanism defined in Section 6.
Jenkins, et al. Informational [Page 5]
RFC 8009 AES-CTS HMAC-SHA2 For Kerberos 5 October 2016
Ke: the encryption key, inputted into AES encryption and decryption
as defined in "encryption function" and "decryption function" below.
Ki: the integrity key, inputted into HMAC to provide authenticated
encryption as defined in "encryption function" and "decryption
function" below.
required checksum mechanism: as defined in Section 6.
key-generation seed length: key size (128 or 256 bits).
string-to-key function: as defined in Section 4.
default string-to-key parameters: iteration count of decimal 32768.
random-to-key function: identity function.
key-derivation function: KDF-HMAC-SHA2 as defined in Section 3. The
key usage number is expressed as 4 octets in big-endian order.
If the enctype is aes128-cts-hmac-sha256-128:
Kc = KDF-HMAC-SHA2(base-key, usage | 0x99, 128)
Ke = KDF-HMAC-SHA2(base-key, usage | 0xAA, 128)
Ki = KDF-HMAC-SHA2(base-key, usage | 0x55, 128)
If the enctype is aes256-cts-hmac-sha384-192:
Kc = KDF-HMAC-SHA2(base-key, usage | 0x99, 192)
Ke = KDF-HMAC-SHA2(base-key, usage | 0xAA, 256)
Ki = KDF-HMAC-SHA2(base-key, usage | 0x55, 192)
cipher state: a 128-bit CBC initialization vector derived from a
previous ciphertext (if any) using the same encryption key, as
specified below.
initial cipher state: all bits zero.
encryption function: as follows, where E() is AES encryption in
CBC-CS3 mode, and h is the size of truncated HMAC (128 bits or 192
bits as described above).
N = random value of length 128 bits (the AES block size)
IV = cipher state
C = E(Ke, N | plaintext, IV)
H = HMAC(Ki, IV | C)
ciphertext = C | H[1..h]
Jenkins, et al. Informational [Page 6]
RFC 8009 AES-CTS HMAC-SHA2 For Kerberos 5 October 2016
Steps to compute the 128-bit cipher state:
L = length of C in bits
portion C into 128-bit blocks, placing any remainder of less
than 128 bits into a final block
if L == 128: cipher state = C
else if L mod 128 > 0: cipher state = last full (128-bit) block
of C (the next-to-last
block)
else if L mod 128 == 0: cipher state = next-to-last block of C
(Note that L will never be less than 128 because of the
presence of N in the encryption input.)
decryption function: as follows, where D() is AES decryption in
CBC-CS3 mode, and h is the size of truncated HMAC.
(C, H) = ciphertext
(Note: H is the last h bits of the ciphertext.)
IV = cipher state
if H != HMAC(Ki, IV | C)[1..h]
stop, report error
(N, P) = D(Ke, C, IV)
(Note: N is set to the first block of the decryption output; P is
set to the rest of the output.)
cipher state = same as described above in encryption function
pseudorandom function:
If the enctype is aes128-cts-hmac-sha256-128:
PRF = KDF-HMAC-SHA2(input-key, "prf", octet-string, 256)
If the enctype is aes256-cts-hmac-sha384-192:
PRF = KDF-HMAC-SHA2(input-key, "prf", octet-string, 384)
where "prf" is the octet-string 0x707266
6. Checksum Parameters
The following parameters apply to the checksum types
hmac-sha256-128-aes128 and hmac-sha384-192-aes256, which are the
associated checksums for aes128-cts-hmac-sha256-128 and
aes256-cts-hmac-sha384-192, respectively.
associated cryptosystem: aes128-cts-hmac-sha256-128 or
aes256-cts-hmac-sha384-192 as appropriate.
Jenkins, et al. Informational [Page 7]
RFC 8009 AES-CTS HMAC-SHA2 For Kerberos 5 October 2016
get_mic: HMAC(Kc, message)[1..h].
where h is 128 bits for checksum type hmac-sha256-128-aes128 and
192 bits for checksum type hmac-sha384-192-aes256
verify_mic: get_mic and compare.

8. Security Considerations
This specification requires implementations to generate random
values. The use of inadequate pseudorandom number generators (PRNGs)
can result in little or no security. The generation of quality
random numbers is difficult. [RFC4086] offers guidance on random
number generation.
This document specifies a mechanism for generating keys from
passphrases or passwords. The use of PBKDF2, a salt, and a large
iteration count adds some resistance to offline dictionary attacks by
passive eavesdroppers. Salting prevents "rainbow table" attacks,
while large iteration counts slow password-guess attempts.
Nonetheless, computing power continues to rapidly improve, including
the potential for use of graphics processing units (GPUs) in
password-guess attempts. It is important to choose strong
passphrases. Use of Kerberos extensions that protect against offline
dictionary attacks should also be considered, as should the use of
public key cryptography for initial Kerberos authentication [RFC4556]
to eliminate the use of passwords or passphrases within the Kerberos
protocol.
Jenkins, et al. Informational [Page 8]
RFC 8009 AES-CTS HMAC-SHA2 For Kerberos 5 October 2016
The NIST guidance in Section 5.3 of [SP800-38A], requiring that CBC
initialization vectors be unpredictable, is satisfied by the use of a
random confounder as the first block of plaintext. The confounder
fills the cryptographic role typically played by an initialization
vector. This approach was chosen to align with other Kerberos
cryptosystem approaches.
8.1. Random Values in Salt Strings
The NIST guidance in Section 5.1 of [SP800-132] requires at least 128
bits of the salt to be randomly generated. The string-to-key
function as defined in [RFC3961] requires the salt to be valid UTF-8
strings [RFC3629]. Not every 128-bit random string will be valid
UTF-8, so a UTF-8-compatible encoding would be needed to encapsulate
the random bits. However, using a salt containing a random portion
may have the following issues with some implementations:
* Keys for cross-realm krbtgt services [RFC4120] are typically
managed by entering the same password at two Key Distribution
Centers (KDCs) to get the same keys. If each KDC uses a random
salt, they won't have the same keys.
* Random salts may interfere with checking of password history.
8.2. Algorithm Rationale
This document has been written to be consistent with common
implementations of AES and SHA-2. The encryption and hash algorithm
sizes have been chosen to create a consistent level of protection,
with consideration to implementation efficiencies. So, for instance,
SHA-384, which would normally be matched to AES-192, is instead
matched to AES-256 to leverage the fact that there are efficient
hardware implementations of AES-256. Note that, as indicated by the
enc-type name "aes256-cts-hmac-sha384-192", the truncation of the
HMAC-SHA-384 output to 192 bits results in an overall 192-bit level
of security.
