AES Encryption with HMAC-SHA2 for Kerberos 5
Abstract
This document specifies two encryption types and two corresponding
checksum types for Kerberos 5. The new types use AES in CTS mode
(CBC mode with ciphertext stealing) for confidentiality and HMAC with
a SHA-2 hash for integrity.

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.
