 EAP-TLS 1.3: Using the Extensible Authentication Protocol with TLS 1.3

Abstract

   The Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), defined in RFC 3748,
   provides a standard mechanism for support of multiple authentication
   methods.  This document specifies the use of EAP-TLS with TLS 1.3
   while remaining backwards compatible with existing implementations of
   EAP-TLS.  TLS 1.3 provides significantly improved security and
   privacy, and reduced latency when compared to earlier versions of
   TLS.  EAP-TLS with TLS 1.3 (EAP-TLS 1.3) further improves security
   and privacy by always providing forward secrecy, never disclosing the
   peer identity, and by mandating use of revocation checking when
   compared to EAP-TLS with earlier versions of TLS.  This document also
   provides guidance on authentication, authorization, and resumption
   for EAP-TLS in general (regardless of the underlying TLS version
   used).  This document updates RFC 5216.

1.  Introduction

   The Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), defined in [RFC3748],
   provides a standard mechanism for support of multiple authentication
   methods.  EAP-TLS [RFC5216] specifies an EAP authentication method
   with certificate-based mutual authentication utilizing the TLS
   handshake protocol for cryptographic algorithms and protocol version
   negotiation and establishment of shared secret keying material.  EAP-
   TLS is widely supported for authentication and key establishment in
   IEEE 802.11 [IEEE-802.11] (Wi-Fi) and IEEE 802.1AE [IEEE-802.1AE]
   (MACsec) networks using IEEE 802.1X [IEEE-802.1X] and it's the
   default mechanism for certificate-based authentication in 3GPP 5G
   [TS.33.501] and MulteFire [MulteFire] networks.  Many other EAP
   methods such as Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling (EAP-
   FAST) [RFC4851], Tunneled Transport Layer Security (EAP-TTLS)
   [RFC5281], the Tunnel Extensible Authentication Protocol (TEAP)
   [RFC7170], as well as vendor-specific EAP methods such as the
   Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP) [PEAP], depend on
   TLS and EAP-TLS.

   EAP-TLS [RFC5216] references TLS 1.0 [RFC2246] and TLS 1.1 [RFC4346]
   but can also work with TLS 1.2 [RFC5246].  TLS 1.0 and 1.1 are
   formally deprecated and prohibited from being negotiated or used
   [RFC8996].  Weaknesses found in TLS 1.2 as well as new requirements
   for security, privacy, and reduced latency have led to the
   specification of TLS 1.3 [RFC8446], which obsoletes TLS 1.2
   [RFC5246].  TLS 1.3 is in large part a complete remodeling of the TLS
   handshake protocol including a different message flow, different
   handshake messages, different key schedule, different cipher suites,
   different resumption mechanism, different privacy protection, and
   different record padding.  This means that significant parts of the
   normative text in the previous EAP-TLS specification [RFC5216] are
   not applicable to EAP-TLS with TLS 1.3.  Therefore, aspects such as
   resumption, privacy handling, and key derivation need to be
   appropriately addressed for EAP-TLS with TLS 1.3.

   This document updates [RFC5216] to define how to use EAP-TLS with TLS
   1.3.  When older TLS versions are negotiated, RFC 5216 applies to
   maintain backwards compatibility.  However, this document does
   provide additional guidance on authentication, authorization, and
   resumption for EAP-TLS regardless of the underlying TLS version used.
   This document only describes differences compared to [RFC5216].  When
   EAP-TLS is used with TLS 1.3, some references are updated as
   specified in Appendix A.  All message flows are example message flows
   specific to TLS 1.3 and do not apply to TLS 1.2.  Since EAP-TLS
   couples the TLS handshake state machine with the EAP state machine,
   it is possible that new versions of TLS will cause incompatibilities
   that introduce failures or security issues if they are not carefully
   integrated into the EAP-TLS protocol.  Therefore, implementations
   MUST limit the maximum TLS version they use to 1.3, unless later
   versions are explicitly enabled by the administrator.

   This document specifies EAP-TLS 1.3 and does not specify how other
   TLS-based EAP methods use TLS 1.3.  The specification for how other
   TLS-based EAP methods use TLS 1.3 is left to other documents such as
   [TLS-EAP-TYPES].

   In addition to the improved security and privacy offered by TLS 1.3,
   there are other significant benefits of using EAP-TLS with TLS 1.3.
   Privacy, which in EAP-TLS means that no information about the
   underlying peer identity is disclosed, is mandatory and achieved
   without any additional round trips.  Revocation checking is mandatory
   and simplified with Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP)
   stapling, and TLS 1.3 introduces more possibilities to reduce
   fragmentation when compared to earlier versions of TLS.

1.1.  Requirements and Terminology

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP
   14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
   capitals, as shown here.

   Readers are expected to be familiar with the terms and concepts used
   in EAP-TLS [RFC5216] and TLS [RFC8446].  The term EAP-TLS peer is
   used for the entity acting as EAP peer and TLS client.  The term EAP-
   TLS server is used for the entity acting as EAP server and TLS
   server.

   This document follows the terminology from [TLS-bis] where the master
   secret is renamed to the main secret and the exporter_master_secret
   is renamed to the exporter_secret.

2.  Protocol Overview

2.1.  Overview of the EAP-TLS Conversation

   This section updates Section 2.1 of [RFC5216] by amending it in
   accordance with the following discussion.

   If the TLS implementation correctly implements TLS version
   negotiation, EAP-TLS will automatically leverage that capability.
   The EAP-TLS implementation needs to know which version of TLS was
   negotiated to correctly support EAP-TLS 1.3 as well as to maintain
   backward compatibility with EAP-TLS 1.2.

   TLS 1.3 changes both the message flow and the handshake messages
   compared to earlier versions of TLS.  Therefore, much of Section 2.1
   of [RFC5216] does not apply for TLS 1.3.  Except for Sections 2.2 and
   5.7, this update applies only when TLS 1.3 is negotiated.  When TLS
   1.2 is negotiated, then [RFC5216] applies.

   TLS 1.3 introduces several new handshake messages including
   HelloRetryRequest, NewSessionTicket, and KeyUpdate.  In general,
   these messages will be handled by the underlying TLS libraries and
   are not visible to EAP-TLS; however, there are a few things to note:

   *  The HelloRetryRequest is used by the server to reject the
      parameters offered in the ClientHello and suggest new parameters.
      When this message is encountered, it will increase the number of
      round trips used by the protocol.

   *  The NewSessionTicket message is used to convey resumption
      information and is covered in Sections 2.1.2 and 2.1.3.

   *  The KeyUpdate message is used to update the traffic keys used on a
      TLS connection.  EAP-TLS does not encrypt significant amounts of
      data so this functionality is not needed.  Implementations SHOULD
      NOT send this message; however, some TLS libraries may
      automatically generate and process this message.

   *  Early Data MUST NOT be used in EAP-TLS.  EAP-TLS servers MUST NOT
      send an early_data extension and clients MUST NOT send an
      EndOfEarlyData message.

   *  Post-handshake authentication MUST NOT be used in EAP-TLS.
      Clients MUST NOT send a "post_handshake_auth" extension and
      Servers MUST NOT request post-handshake client authentication.

   After receiving an EAP-Request packet with EAP-Type=EAP-TLS as
   described in [RFC5216], the conversation will continue with the TLS
   handshake protocol encapsulated in the data fields of EAP-Response
   and EAP-Request packets.  When EAP-TLS is used with TLS version 1.3,
   the formatting and processing of the TLS handshake SHALL be done as
   specified in version 1.3 of TLS.  This update only lists additional
   and different requirements, restrictions, and processing compared to
   [RFC8446] and [RFC5216].

2.1.1.  Authentication

   This section updates Section 2.1.1 of [RFC5216] by amending it in
   accordance with the following discussion.

   The EAP-TLS server MUST authenticate with a certificate and SHOULD
   require the EAP-TLS peer to authenticate with a certificate.
   Certificates can be of any type supported by TLS including raw public
   keys.  Pre-Shared Key (PSK) authentication SHALL NOT be used except
   for resumption.  The full handshake in EAP-TLS with TLS 1.3 always
   provides forward secrecy by exchange of ephemeral "key_share"
   extensions in the ClientHello and ServerHello (e.g., containing
   Ephemeral Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDHE) public keys).
   SessionID is deprecated in TLS 1.3; see Sections 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 of
   [RFC8446].  TLS 1.3 introduced early application data that like all
   application data (other than the protected success indication
   described below) is not used in EAP-TLS; see Section 4.2.10 of
   [RFC8446] for additional information on the "early_data" extension.
   Resumption is handled as described in Section 2.1.3.  As a protected
   success indication [RFC3748], the EAP-TLS server always sends TLS
   application data 0x00; see Section 2.5.  Note that a TLS
   implementation MAY not allow the EAP-TLS layer to control in which
   order things are sent and the application data MAY therefore be sent
   before a NewSessionTicket.  TLS application data 0x00 is therefore to
   be interpreted as success after the EAP-Request that contains TLS
   application data 0x00.  After the EAP-TLS server has sent an EAP-
   Request containing the TLS application data 0x00 and received an EAP-
   Response packet of EAP-Type=EAP-TLS and no data, the EAP-TLS server
   sends EAP-Success.

   Figure 1 shows an example message flow for a successful EAP-TLS full
   handshake with mutual authentication (and neither HelloRetryRequest
   nor post-handshake messages are sent).

2.1.2.  Ticket Establishment

   This is a new section when compared to [RFC5216].

   To enable resumption when using EAP-TLS with TLS 1.3, the EAP-TLS
   server MUST send one or more post-handshake NewSessionTicket messages
   (each associated with a PSK, a PSK identity, a ticket lifetime, and
   other parameters) in the initial authentication.  Note that TLS 1.3
   [RFC8446] limits the ticket lifetime to a maximum of 604800 seconds
   (7 days) and EAP-TLS servers MUST respect this upper limit when
   issuing tickets.  The NewSessionTicket is sent after the EAP-TLS
   server has received the client Finished message in the initial
   authentication.  The NewSessionTicket can be sent in the same flight
   as the TLS server Finished or later.  The PSK associated with the
   ticket depends on the client Finished and cannot be pre-computed (so
   as to be sent in the same flight as the TLS server Finished) in
   handshakes with client authentication.  The NewSessionTicket message
   MUST NOT include an "early_data" extension.  If the "early_data"
   extension is received, then it MUST be ignored.  Servers should take
   into account that fewer NewSessionTickets will likely be needed in
   EAP-TLS than in the usual HTTPS connection scenario.  In most cases,
   a single NewSessionTicket will be sufficient.  A mechanism by which
   clients can specify the desired number of tickets needed for future
   connections is defined in [TICKET-REQUESTS].

   Figure 2 shows an example message flow for a successful EAP-TLS full
   handshake with mutual authentication and ticket establishment of a
   single ticket.

2.1.3.  Resumption

   This section updates Section 2.1.2 of [RFC5216] by amending it in
   accordance with the following discussion.

   EAP-TLS is typically used with client authentication and typically
   fragments the TLS flights into a large number of EAP-requests and
   EAP-responses.  Resumption significantly reduces the number of round
   trips and enables the EAP-TLS server to omit database lookups needed
   during a full handshake with client authentication.  TLS 1.3 replaces
   the session resumption mechanisms in earlier versions of TLS with a
   new PSK exchange.  When EAP-TLS is used with TLS version 1.3, EAP-TLS
   SHALL use a resumption mechanism compatible with version 1.3 of TLS.

   For TLS 1.3, resumption is described in Section 2.2 of [RFC8446].  If
   the client has received a NewSessionTicket message from the EAP-TLS
   server, the client can use the PSK identity associated with the
   ticket to negotiate the use of the associated PSK.  If the EAP-TLS
   server accepts it, then the resumed session has been deemed to be
   authenticated and securely associated with the prior authentication
   or resumption.  It is up to the EAP-TLS peer to use resumption, but
   it is RECOMMENDED that the EAP-TLS peer use resumption if it has a
   valid ticket that has not been used before.  It is left to the EAP-
   TLS server whether to accept resumption, but it is RECOMMENDED that
   the EAP-TLS server accept resumption if the ticket that was issued is
   still valid.  However, the EAP-TLS server MAY choose to require a
   full handshake.  In the case a full handshake is required, the
   negotiation proceeds as if the session was a new authentication, and
   the resumption attempt is ignored.  The requirements of Sections
   2.1.1 and 2.1.2 then apply in their entirety.  As described in
   Appendix C.4 of [RFC8446], reuse of a ticket allows passive observers
   to correlate different connections.  EAP-TLS peers and EAP-TLS
   servers SHOULD follow the client tracking preventions in Appendix C.4
   of [RFC8446].

   It is RECOMMENDED to use Network Access Identifiers (NAIs) with the
   same realm during resumption and the original full handshake.  This
   requirement allows EAP packets to be routed to the same destination
   as the original full handshake.  If this recommendation is not
   followed, resumption is likely impossible.  When NAI reuse can be
   done without privacy implications, it is RECOMMENDED to use the same
   NAI in the resumption as was used in the original full handshake
   [RFC7542].  For example, the NAI @realm can safely be reused since it
   does not provide any specific information to associate a user's
   resumption attempt with the original full handshake.  However,
   reusing the NAI P2ZIM2F+OEVAO21nNWg2bVpgNnU=@realm enables an on-path
   attacker to associate a resumption attempt with the original full
   handshake.  The TLS PSK identity is typically derived by the TLS
   implementation and may be an opaque blob without a routable realm.
   The TLS PSK identity on its own is therefore unsuitable as an NAI in
   the Identity Response.

   Figure 3 shows an example message flow for a subsequent successful
   EAP-TLS resumption handshake where both sides authenticate via a PSK
   provisioned via an earlier NewSessionTicket and where the server
   provisions a single new ticket.

                        Figure 3: EAP-TLS Resumption

   As specified in Section 2.2 of [RFC8446], the EAP-TLS peer SHOULD
   supply a "key_share" extension when attempting resumption, which
   allows the EAP-TLS server to potentially decline resumption and fall
   back to a full handshake.  If the EAP-TLS peer did not supply a
   "key_share" extension when attempting resumption, the EAP-TLS server
   needs to send a HelloRetryRequest to signal that additional
   information is needed to complete the handshake, and the EAP-TLS peer
   needs to send a second ClientHello containing that information.
   Providing a "key_share" and using the "psk_dhe_ke" pre-shared key
   exchange mode is also important in order to limit the impact of a key
   compromise.  When using "psk_dhe_ke", TLS 1.3 provides forward
   secrecy meaning that compromise of the PSK used for resumption does
   not compromise any earlier connections.  The "psk_dh_ke" key exchange
   mode MUST be used for resumption unless the deployment has a local
   requirement to allow configuration of other mechanisms.

2.1.4.  Termination

   This section updates Section 2.1.3 of [RFC5216] by amending it in
   accordance with the following discussion.

   TLS 1.3 changes both the message flow and the handshake messages
   compared to earlier versions of TLS.  Therefore, some normative text
   in Section 2.1.3 of [RFC5216] does not apply for TLS 1.3.  The two
   paragraphs below replace the corresponding paragraphs in
   Section 2.1.3 of [RFC5216] when EAP-TLS is used with TLS 1.3.  The
   other paragraphs in Section 2.1.3 of [RFC5216] still apply with the
   exception that SessionID is deprecated.

      If the EAP-TLS peer authenticates successfully, the EAP-TLS server
      MUST send an EAP-Request packet with EAP-Type=EAP-TLS containing
      TLS records conforming to the version of TLS used.  The message
      flow ends with a protected success indication from the EAP-TLS
      server, followed by an EAP-Response packet of EAP-Type=EAP-TLS and
      no data from the EAP-TLS peer, followed by EAP-Success from the
      server.

      If the EAP-TLS server authenticates successfully, the EAP-TLS peer
      MUST send an EAP-Response message with EAP-Type=EAP-TLS containing
      TLS records conforming to the version of TLS used.

   Figures 4, 5, and 6 illustrate message flows in several cases where
   the EAP-TLS peer or EAP-TLS server sends a TLS Error alert message.
   In earlier versions of TLS, error alerts could be warnings or fatal.
   In TLS 1.3, error alerts are always fatal and the only alerts sent at
   warning level are "close_notify" and "user_canceled", both of which
   indicate that the connection is not going to continue normally; see
   [RFC8446].

   In TLS 1.3 [RFC8446], error alerts are not mandatory to send after a
   fatal error condition.  Failure to send TLS Error alerts means that
   the peer or server would have no way of determining what went wrong.
   EAP-TLS 1.3 strengthens this requirement.  Whenever an implementation
   encounters a fatal error condition, it MUST send an appropriate TLS
   Error alert.

   Figure 4 shows an example message flow where the EAP-TLS server
   rejects the ClientHello with an error alert.  The EAP-TLS server can
   also partly reject the ClientHello with a HelloRetryRequest; see
   Section 2.1.6.

2.1.6.  Hello Retry Request

   This is a new section when compared to [RFC5216].

   As defined in TLS 1.3 [RFC8446], EAP-TLS servers can send a
   HelloRetryRequest message in response to a ClientHello if the EAP-TLS
   server finds an acceptable set of parameters but the initial
   ClientHello does not contain all the needed information to continue
   the handshake.  One use case is if the EAP-TLS server does not
   support the groups in the "key_share" extension (or there is no
   "key_share" extension) but supports one of the groups in the
   "supported_groups" extension.  In this case, the client should send a
   new ClientHello with a "key_share" that the EAP-TLS server supports.

   Figure 8 shows an example message flow for a successful EAP-TLS full
   handshake with mutual authentication and HelloRetryRequest.  Note the
   extra round trip as a result of the HelloRetryRequest.

2.1.7.  Identity

   This is a new section when compared to [RFC5216].

   It is RECOMMENDED to use anonymous NAIs [RFC7542] in the Identity
   Response as such identities are routable and privacy-friendly.  While
   opaque blobs are allowed by [RFC3748], such identities are NOT
   RECOMMENDED as they are not routable and should only be considered in
   local deployments where the EAP-TLS peer, EAP authenticator, and EAP-
   TLS server all belong to the same network.  Many client certificates
   contain an identity such as an email address, which is already in NAI
   format.  When the client certificate contains an NAI as subject name
   or alternative subject name, an anonymous NAI SHOULD be derived from
   the NAI in the certificate; see Section 2.1.8.  More details on
   identities are described in Sections 2.1.3, 2.1.8, 2.2, and 5.8.

2.1.8.  Privacy

   This section updates Section 2.1.4 of [RFC5216] by amending it in
   accordance with the following discussion.

   EAP-TLS 1.3 significantly improves privacy when compared to earlier
   versions of EAP-TLS.  EAP-TLS 1.3 forbids cipher suites without
   confidentiality, which means that TLS 1.3 is always encrypting large
   parts of the TLS handshake including the certificate messages.

   EAP-TLS peer and server implementations supporting TLS 1.3 MUST
   support anonymous Network Access Identifiers (NAIs) (Section 2.4 of
   [RFC7542]).  A client supporting TLS 1.3 MUST NOT send its username
   (or any other permanent identifiers) in cleartext in the Identity
   Response (or any message used instead of the Identity Response).
   Following [RFC7542], it is RECOMMENDED to omit the username (i.e.,
   the NAI is @realm), but other constructions such as a fixed username
   (e.g., anonymous@realm) or an encrypted username (e.g.,
   xCZINCPTK5+7y81CrSYbPg+RKPE3OTrYLn4AQc4AC2U=@realm) are allowed.
   Note that the NAI MUST be a UTF-8 string as defined by the grammar in
   Section 2.2 of [RFC7542].

   The HelloRequest message used for privacy in EAP-TLS 1.2 does not
   exist in TLS 1.3 but as the certificate messages in TLS 1.3 are
   encrypted, there is no need to send an empty certificate_list and
   perform a second handshake for privacy (as needed by EAP-TLS with
   earlier versions of TLS).  When EAP-TLS is used with TLS version 1.3,
   the EAP-TLS peer and EAP-TLS server SHALL follow the processing
   specified by version 1.3 of TLS.  This means that the EAP-TLS peer
   only sends an empty certificate_list if it does not have an
   appropriate certificate to send, and the EAP-TLS server MAY treat an
   empty certificate_list as a terminal condition.

   EAP-TLS with TLS 1.3 is always used with privacy.  This does not add
   any extra round trips and the message flow with privacy is just the
   normal message flow as shown in Figure 1.

2.1.9.  Fragmentation

   This section updates Section 2.1.5 of [RFC5216] by amending it in
   accordance with the following discussion.

   Including ContentType (1 byte), ProtocolVersion (2 bytes), and length
   (2 bytes) headers, a single TLS record may be up to 16645 octets in
   length.  EAP-TLS fragmentation support is provided through addition
   of a flags octet within the EAP-Response and EAP-Request packets, as
   well as a (conditional) TLS Message Length field of four octets.
   Implementations MUST NOT set the L bit in unfragmented messages, but
   they MUST accept unfragmented messages with and without the L bit
   set.

   Some EAP implementations and access networks may limit the number of
   EAP packet exchanges that can be handled.  To avoid fragmentation, it
   is RECOMMENDED to keep the sizes of EAP-TLS peer, EAP-TLS server, and
   trust anchor certificates small and the length of the certificate
   chains short.  In addition, it is RECOMMENDED to use mechanisms that
   reduce the sizes of Certificate messages.  For a detailed discussion
   on reducing message sizes to prevent fragmentation, see [RFC9191].

2.2.  Identity Verification

   This section replaces Section 2.2 of [RFC5216] with the following
   discussion.  The guidance in this section is relevant for EAP-TLS in
   general (regardless of the underlying TLS version used).

   The EAP peer identity provided in the EAP-Response/Identity is not
   authenticated by EAP-TLS.  Unauthenticated information MUST NOT be
   used for accounting purposes or to give authorization.  The
   authenticator and the EAP-TLS server MAY examine the identity
   presented in EAP-Response/Identity for purposes such as routing and
   EAP method selection.  EAP-TLS servers MAY reject conversations if
   the identity does not match their policy.  Note that this also
   applies to resumption; see Sections 2.1.3, 5.6, and 5.7.

   The EAP server identity in the TLS server certificate is typically a
   fully qualified domain name (FQDN) in the SubjectAltName (SAN)
   extension.  Since EAP-TLS deployments may use more than one EAP
   server, each with a different certificate, EAP peer implementations
   SHOULD allow for the configuration of one or more trusted root
   certificates (CA certificate) to authenticate the server certificate
   and one or more server names to match against the SubjectAltName
   (SAN) extension in the server certificate.  If any of the configured
   names match any of the names in the SAN extension, then the name
   check passes.  To simplify name matching, an EAP-TLS deployment can
   assign a name to represent an authorized EAP server and EAP Server
   certificates can include this name in the list of SANs for each
   certificate that represents an EAP-TLS server.  If server name
   matching is not used, then it degrades the confidence that the EAP
   server with which it is interacting is authoritative for the given
   network.  If name matching is not used with a public root CA, then
   effectively any server can obtain a certificate that will be trusted
   for EAP authentication by the peer.  While this guidance to verify
   domain names is new, and was not mentioned in [RFC5216], it has been
   widely implemented in EAP-TLS peers.  As such, it is believed that
   this section contains minimal new interoperability or implementation
   requirements on EAP-TLS peers and can be applied to earlier versions
   of TLS.

   The process of configuring a root CA certificate and a server name is
   non-trivial; therefore, automated methods of provisioning are
   RECOMMENDED.  For example, the eduroam federation [RFC7593] provides
   a Configuration Assistant Tool (CAT) to automate the configuration
   process.  In the absence of a trusted root CA certificate (user
   configured or system-wide), EAP peers MAY implement a trust on first
   use (TOFU) mechanism where the peer trusts and stores the server
   certificate during the first connection attempt.  The EAP peer
   ensures that the server presents the same stored certificate on
   subsequent interactions.  Use of a TOFU mechanism does not allow for
   the server certificate to change without out-of-band validation of
   the certificate and is therefore not suitable for many deployments
   including ones where multiple EAP servers are deployed for high
   availability.  TOFU mechanisms increase the susceptibility to traffic
   interception attacks and should only be used if there are adequate
   controls in place to mitigate this risk.

2.3.  Key Hierarchy

   This section updates Section 2.3 of [RFC5216] by replacing it in
   accordance with the following discussion.

   TLS 1.3 replaces the TLS pseudorandom function (PRF) used in earlier
   versions of TLS with the HMAC-based Key Derivation Function (HKDF)
   and completely changes the key schedule.  The key hierarchies shown
   in Section 2.3 of [RFC5216] are therefore not correct when EAP-TLS is
   used with TLS version 1.3.  For TLS 1.3 the key schedule is described
   in Section 7.1 of [RFC8446].

   When EAP-TLS is used with TLS version 1.3, the Key_Material and
   Method-Id SHALL be derived from the exporter_secret using the TLS
   exporter interface [RFC5705] (for TLS 1.3, this is defined in
   Section 7.5 of [RFC8446]).  Type is the value of the EAP Type field
   defined in Section 2 of [RFC3748].  For EAP-TLS, the Type field has
   value 0x0D.

   Type = 0x0D
   Key_Material = TLS-Exporter("EXPORTER_EAP_TLS_Key_Material",
                               Type, 128)
   Method-Id    = TLS-Exporter("EXPORTER_EAP_TLS_Method-Id",
                               Type, 64)
   Session-Id   = Type || Method-Id

   The MSK and EMSK are derived from the Key_Material in the same manner
   as with EAP-TLS [RFC5216], Section 2.3.  The definitions are repeated
   below for simplicity:

   MSK          = Key_Material(0, 63)
   EMSK         = Key_Material(64, 127)

   Other TLS-based EAP methods can use the TLS exporter in a similar
   fashion; see [TLS-EAP-TYPES].

   [RFC5247] deprecates the use of an Initialization Vector (IV).  Thus,
   RECV-IV and SEND-IV are not exported in EAP-TLS with TLS 1.3.  As
   noted in [RFC5247], lower layers use the MSK in a lower-layer-
   dependent manner.  EAP-TLS with TLS 1.3 exports the MSK and does not
   specify how it is used by lower layers.

   Note that the key derivation MUST use the length values given above.
   While in TLS 1.2 and earlier it was possible to truncate the output
   by requesting less data from the TLS-Exporter function, this practice
   is not possible with TLS 1.3.  If an implementation intends to use
   only a part of the output of the TLS-Exporter function, then it MUST
   ask for the full output and then only use the desired part.  Failure
   to do so will result in incorrect values being calculated for the
   above keying material.

   By using the TLS exporter, EAP-TLS can use any TLS 1.3 implementation
   that provides a public API for the exporter.  Note that when TLS 1.2
   is used with the EAP-TLS exporter [RFC5705] it generates the same key
   material as in EAP-TLS [RFC5216].

2.4.  Parameter Negotiation and Compliance Requirements

   This section updates Section 2.4 of [RFC5216] by amending it in
   accordance with the following discussion.

   TLS 1.3 cipher suites are defined differently than in earlier
   versions of TLS (see Appendix B.4 of [RFC8446]), and the cipher
   suites discussed in Section 2.4 of [RFC5216] can therefore not be
   used when EAP-TLS is used with TLS version 1.3.

   When EAP-TLS is used with TLS version 1.3, the EAP-TLS peers and EAP-
   TLS servers MUST comply with the compliance requirements (mandatory-
   to-implement cipher suites, signature algorithms, key exchange
   algorithms, extensions, etc.) defined in Section 9 of [RFC8446].  In
   EAP-TLS with TLS 1.3, only cipher suites with confidentiality SHALL
   be supported.

   While EAP-TLS does not protect any application data except for the
   0x00 byte that serves as protected success indication, the negotiated
   cipher suites and algorithms MAY be used to secure data as done in
   other TLS-based EAP methods.

2.5.  EAP State Machines

   This is a new section when compared to [RFC5216] and only applies to
   TLS 1.3.  [RFC4137] offers a proposed state machine for EAP.

   TLS 1.3 [RFC8446] introduces post-handshake messages.  These post-
   handshake messages use the handshake content type and can be sent
   after the main handshake.  Examples of post-handshake messages are
   NewSessionTicket, which is used for resumption and KeyUpdate, which
   is not useful and not expected in EAP-TLS.  After sending TLS
   Finished, the EAP-TLS server may send any number of post-handshake
   messages in one or more EAP-Requests.

   To provide a protected success result indication and to decrease the
   uncertainty for the EAP-TLS peer, the following procedure MUST be
   followed:

   When an EAP-TLS server has successfully processed the TLS client
   Finished and sent its last handshake message (Finished or a post-
   handshake message), it sends an encrypted TLS record with application
   data 0x00.  The encrypted TLS record with application data 0x00 is a
   protected success result indication, as defined in [RFC3748].  After
   sending an EAP-Request that contains the protected success result
   indication, the EAP-TLS server must not send any more EAP-Requests
   and may only send an EAP-Success.  The EAP-TLS server MUST NOT send
   an encrypted TLS record with application data 0x00 before it has
   successfully processed the client Finished and sent its last
   handshake message.

   TLS Error alerts SHOULD be considered a failure result indication, as
   defined in [RFC3748].  Implementations following [RFC4137] set the
   alternate indication of failure variable altReject after sending or
   receiving an error alert.  After sending or receiving a TLS Error
   alert, the EAP-TLS server may only send an EAP-Failure.  Protected
   TLS Error alerts are protected failure result indications, and
   unprotected TLS Error alerts are not.

   The keying material can be derived after the TLS server Finished has
   been sent or received.  Implementations following [RFC4137] can then
   set the eapKeyData and aaaEapKeyData variables.

   The keying material can be made available to lower layers and the
   authenticator after the authenticated success result indication has
   been sent or received.  Implementations following [RFC4137] can set
   the eapKeyAvailable and aaaEapKeyAvailable variables.

3.  Detailed Description of the EAP-TLS Protocol

   There are no updates to Section 3 of [RFC5216].

4.  IANA Considerations

   This section provides guidance to the Internet Assigned Numbers
   Authority (IANA) regarding registration of values related to EAP-TLS
   1.3 in accordance with [RFC8126].

   Per this document, IANA has added the following labels to the "TLS
   Exporter Labels" registry defined by [RFC5705].  These labels are
   used in derivation of Key_Material and Method-Id as defined in
   Section 2.3:

     +===============================+=========+=============+======+
     | Value                         | DTLS-OK | Recommended | Note |
     +===============================+=========+=============+======+
     | EXPORTER_EAP_TLS_Key_Material |    N    |      Y      |      |
     +-------------------------------+---------+-------------+------+
     | EXPORTER_EAP_TLS_Method-Id    |    N    |      Y      |      |
     +-------------------------------+---------+-------------+------+

                       Table 1: TLS Exporter Labels

5.  Security Considerations

   The security considerations of TLS 1.3 [RFC8446] apply to EAP-TLS
   1.3.

5.1.  Security Claims

   Using EAP-TLS with TLS 1.3 does not change the security claims for
   EAP-TLS as given in Section 5.1 of [RFC5216].  However, it
   strengthens several of the claims as described in the following
   updates to the notes given in Section 5.1 of [RFC5216].

   [1] Mutual authentication:  By mandating revocation checking of
       certificates, the authentication in EAP-TLS with TLS 1.3 is
       stronger as authentication with revoked certificates will always
       fail.

   [2] Confidentiality:  The TLS 1.3 handshake offers much better
       confidentiality than earlier versions of TLS.  EAP-TLS with TLS
       1.3 mandates use of cipher suites that ensure confidentiality.
       TLS 1.3 also encrypts certificates and some of the extensions.
       When using EAP-TLS with TLS 1.3, the use of privacy is mandatory
       and does not cause any additional round trips.

   [3] Cryptographic strength:  TLS 1.3 only defines strong algorithms
       without major weaknesses and EAP-TLS with TLS 1.3 always provides
       forward secrecy; see [RFC8446].  Weak algorithms such as 3DES,
       CBC mode, RC4, SHA-1, MD5, P-192, and RSA-1024 have not been
       registered for use in TLS 1.3.

   [4] Cryptographic negotiation:  The TLS layer handles the negotiation
       of cryptographic parameters.  When EAP-TLS is used with TLS 1.3,
       EAP-TLS inherits the cryptographic negotiation of the AEAD
       algorithm, HKDF hash algorithm, key exchange groups, and
       signature algorithm; see Section 4.1.1 of [RFC8446].

5.2.  Peer and Server Identities

   No updates to Section 5.2 of [RFC5216].  Note that Section 2.2 has
   additional discussion on identities.

5.3.  Certificate Validation

   No updates to Section 5.3 of [RFC5216].  In addition to Section 5.3
   of [RFC5216], guidance on server certificate validation can be found
   in [RFC6125].

5.4.  Certificate Revocation

   This section updates Section 5.4 of [RFC5216] by amending it in
   accordance with the following discussion.

   There are a number of reasons (e.g., key compromise, CA compromise,
   privilege withdrawn, etc.) why EAP-TLS peer, EAP-TLS server, or sub-
   CA certificates have to be revoked before their expiry date.
   Revocation of the EAP-TLS server's certificate is complicated by the
   fact that the EAP-TLS peer may not have Internet connectivity until
   authentication completes.

   When EAP-TLS is used with TLS 1.3, the revocation status of all the
   certificates in the certificate chains MUST be checked (except the
   trust anchor).  An implementation may use the Certificate Revocation
   List (CRL), Online Certificate Status Protocol (OSCP), or other
   standardized/proprietary methods for revocation checking.  Examples
   of proprietary methods are non-standard formats for distribution of
   revocation lists as well as certificates with very short lifetime.

   EAP-TLS servers supporting TLS 1.3 MUST implement Certificate Status
   Requests (OCSP stapling) as specified in [RFC6066] and
   Section 4.4.2.1 of [RFC8446].  It is RECOMMENDED that EAP-TLS peers
   and EAP-TLS servers use OCSP stapling for verifying the status of the
   EAP-TLS server's certificate chain.  When an EAP-TLS peer uses
   Certificate Status Requests to check the revocation status of the
   EAP-TLS server's certificate chain, it MUST treat a CertificateEntry
   (but not the trust anchor) without a valid CertificateStatus
   extension as invalid and abort the handshake with an appropriate
   alert.  The OCSP status handling in TLS 1.3 is different from earlier
   versions of TLS; see Section 4.4.2.1 of [RFC8446].  In TLS 1.3, the
   OCSP information is carried in the CertificateEntry containing the
   associated certificate instead of a separate CertificateStatus
   message as in [RFC6066].  This enables sending OCSP information for
   all certificates in the certificate chain (except the trust anchor).

   To enable revocation checking in situations where EAP-TLS peers do
   not implement or use OCSP stapling, and where network connectivity is
   not available prior to authentication completion, EAP-TLS peer
   implementations MUST also support checking for certificate revocation
   after authentication completes and network connectivity is available.
   An EAP peer implementation SHOULD NOT trust the network (and any
   services) until it has verified the revocation status of the server
   certificate after receiving network connectivity.  An EAP peer MUST
   use a secure transport to verify the revocation status of the server
   certificate.  An EAP peer SHOULD NOT send any other traffic before
   revocation checking for the server certificate is complete.

5.5.  Packet Modification Attacks

   This section updates Section 5.5 of [RFC5216] by amending it in
   accordance with the following discussion.

   As described in [RFC3748] and Section 5.5 of [RFC5216], the only
   information that is integrity and replay protected in EAP-TLS are the
   parts of the TLS Data that TLS protects.  All other information in
   the EAP-TLS message exchange including EAP-Request and EAP-Response
   headers, the identity in the Identity Response, EAP-TLS packet header
   fields, Type, Flags, EAP-Success, and EAP-Failure can be modified,
   spoofed, or replayed.

   Protected TLS Error alerts are protected failure result indications
   and enable the EAP-TLS peer and EAP-TLS server to determine that the
   failure result was not spoofed by an attacker.  Protected failure
   result indications provide integrity and replay protection but MAY be
   unauthenticated.  Protected failure results do not significantly
   improve availability as TLS 1.3 treats most malformed data as a fatal
   error.

5.6.  Authorization

   This is a new section when compared to [RFC5216].  The guidance in
   this section is relevant for EAP-TLS in general (regardless of the
   underlying TLS version used).

   EAP servers will usually require the EAP peer to provide a valid
   certificate and will fail the connection if one is not provided.
   Some deployments may permit no peer authentication for some or all
   connections.  When peer authentication is not used, EAP-TLS server
   implementations MUST take care to limit network access appropriately
   for unauthenticated peers, and implementations MUST use resumption
   with caution to ensure that a resumed session is not granted more
   privilege than was intended for the original session.  An example of
   limiting network access would be to invoke a vendor's walled garden
   or quarantine network functionality.

   EAP-TLS is typically encapsulated in other protocols such as PPP
   [RFC1661], RADIUS [RFC2865], Diameter [RFC6733], or the Protocol for
   Carrying Authentication for Network Access (PANA) [RFC5191].  The
   encapsulating protocols can also provide additional, non-EAP
   information to an EAP-TLS server.  This information can include, but
   is not limited to, information about the authenticator, information
   about the EAP-TLS peer, or information about the protocol layers
   above or below EAP (MAC addresses, IP addresses, port numbers, Wi-Fi
   Service Set Identifiers (SSIDs), etc.).  EAP-TLS servers implementing
   EAP-TLS inside those protocols can make policy decisions and enforce
   authorization based on a combination of information from the EAP-TLS
   exchange and non-EAP information.

   As noted in Section 2.2, the identity presented in EAP-Response/
   Identity is not authenticated by EAP-TLS and is therefore trivial for
   an attacker to forge, modify, or replay.  Authorization and
   accounting MUST be based on authenticated information such as
   information in the certificate or the PSK identity and cached data
   provisioned for resumption as described in Section 5.7.  Note that
   the requirements for Network Access Identifiers (NAIs) specified in
   Section 4 of [RFC7542] still apply and MUST be followed.

   EAP-TLS servers MAY reject conversations based on non-EAP information
   provided by the encapsulating protocol, for example if the MAC
   address of the authenticator does not match the expected policy.

   In addition to allowing configuration of one or more trusted root
   certificates (CA certificate) to authenticate the server certificate
   and one or more server names to match against the SubjectAltName
   (SAN) extension, EAP peer implementations MAY allow binding the
   configured acceptable SAN to a specific CA (or CAs) that should have
   issued the server certificate to prevent attacks from rogue or
   compromised CAs.

5.7.  Resumption

   This is a new section when compared to [RFC5216].  The guidance in
   this section is relevant for EAP-TLS in general (regardless of the
   underlying TLS version used).

   There are a number of security issues related to resumption that are
   not described in [RFC5216].  The problems, guidelines, and
   requirements in this section therefore apply to EAP-TLS when it is
   used with any version of TLS.

   When resumption occurs, it is based on cached information at the TLS
   layer.  To perform resumption securely, the EAP-TLS peer and EAP-TLS
   server need to be able to securely retrieve authorization information
   such as certificate chains from the initial full handshake.  This
   document uses the term "cached data" to describe such information.
   Authorization during resumption MUST be based on such cached data.
   The EAP-TLS peer and EAP-TLS server MAY perform fresh revocation
   checks on the cached certificate data.  Any security policies for
   authorization MUST be followed also for resumption.  The certificates
   may have been revoked since the initial full handshake and the
   authorizations of the other party may have been reduced.  If the
   cached revocation data is not sufficiently current, the EAP-TLS peer
   or EAP-TLS server MAY force a full TLS handshake.

   There are two ways to retrieve the cached data from the original full
   handshake.  The first method is that the EAP-TLS server and client
   cache the information locally.  The cached information is identified
   by an identifier.  For TLS versions before 1.3, the identifier can be
   the session ID; for TLS 1.3, the identifier is the PSK identity.  The
   second method for retrieving cached information is via [RFC5077] or
   [RFC8446], where the EAP-TLS server avoids storing information
   locally and instead encapsulates the information into a ticket that
   is sent to the client for storage.  This ticket is encrypted using a
   key that only the EAP-TLS server knows.  Note that the client still
   needs to cache the original handshake information locally and will
   obtain it while determining the session ID or PSK identity to use for
   resumption.  However, the EAP-TLS server is able to decrypt the
   ticket or PSK to obtain the original handshake information.

   The EAP-TLS server or EAP client MUST cache data during the initial
   full handshake sufficient to allow authorization decisions to be made
   during resumption.  If cached data cannot be retrieved securely,
   resumption MUST NOT be done.

   The above requirements also apply if the EAP-TLS server expects some
   system to perform accounting for the session.  Since accounting must
   be tied to an authenticated identity, and resumption does not supply
   such an identity, accounting is impossible without access to cached
   data.  Therefore, systems that expect to perform accounting for the
   session SHOULD cache an identifier that can be used in subsequent
   accounting.

   As suggested in [RFC8446], EAP-TLS peers MUST NOT store resumption
   PSKs or tickets (and associated cached data) for longer than 604800
   seconds (7 days) regardless of the PSK or ticket lifetime.  The EAP-
   TLS peer MAY delete them earlier based on local policy.  The cached
   data MAY also be removed on the EAP-TLS server or EAP-TLS peer if any
   certificate in the certificate chain has been revoked or has expired.
   In all such cases, an attempt at resumption results in a full TLS
   handshake instead.

   Information from the EAP-TLS exchange (e.g., the identity provided in
   EAP-Response/Identity) as well as non-EAP information (e.g., IP
   addresses) may change between the initial full handshake and
   resumption.  This change creates a "time-of-check time-of-use"
   (TOCTOU) security vulnerability.  A malicious or compromised user
   could supply one set of data during the initial authentication, and a
   different set of data during resumption, potentially allowing them to
   obtain access that they should not have.

   If any authorization, accounting, or policy decisions were made with
   information that has changed between the initial full handshake and
   resumption, and if change may lead to a different decision, such
   decisions MUST be reevaluated.  It is RECOMMENDED that authorization,
   accounting, and policy decisions are reevaluated based on the
   information given in the resumption.  EAP-TLS servers MAY reject
   resumption where the information supplied during resumption does not
   match the information supplied during the original authentication.
   If a safe decision is not possible, EAP-TLS servers SHOULD reject the
   resumption and continue with a full handshake.

   Sections 2.2 and 4.2.11 of [RFC8446] provide security considerations
   for TLS 1.3 resumption.

5.8.  Privacy Considerations

   This is a new section when compared to [RFC5216].

   TLS 1.3 offers much better privacy than earlier versions of TLS as
   discussed in Section 2.1.8.  In this section, we only discuss the
   privacy properties of EAP-TLS with TLS 1.3.  For privacy properties
   of TLS 1.3 itself, see [RFC8446].

   EAP-TLS sends the standard TLS 1.3 handshake messages encapsulated in
   EAP packets.  Additionally, the EAP-TLS peer sends an identity in the
   first EAP-Response.  The other fields in the EAP-TLS Request and the
   EAP-TLS Response packets do not contain any cleartext privacy-
   sensitive information.

   Tracking of users by eavesdropping on Identity Responses or
   certificates is a well-known problem in many EAP methods.  When EAP-
   TLS is used with TLS 1.3, all certificates are encrypted, and the
   username part of the Identity Response is not revealed (e.g., using
   anonymous NAIs).  Note that even though all certificates are
   encrypted, the server's identity is only protected against passive
   attackers while the client's identity is protected against both
   passive and active attackers.  As with other EAP methods, even when
   privacy-friendly identifiers or EAP tunneling is used, the domain
   name (i.e., the realm) in the NAI is still typically visible.  How
   much privacy-sensitive information the domain name leaks is highly
   dependent on how many other users are using the same domain name in
   the particular access network.  If all EAP-TLS peers have the same
   domain, no additional information is leaked.  If a domain name is
   used by a small subset of the EAP-TLS peers, it may aid an attacker
   in tracking or identifying the user.

   Without padding, information about the size of the client certificate
   is leaked from the size of the EAP-TLS packets.  The EAP-TLS packets
   sizes may therefore leak information that can be used to track or
   identify the user.  If all client certificates have the same length,
   no information is leaked.  EAP-TLS peers SHOULD use record padding;
   see Section 5.4 of [RFC8446] to reduce information leakage of
   certificate sizes.

   If anonymous NAIs are not used, the privacy-friendly identifiers need
   to be generated with care.  The identities MUST be generated in a
   cryptographically secure way so that it is computationally infeasible
   for an attacker to differentiate two identities belonging to the same
   user from two identities belonging to different users in the same
   realm.  This can be achieved, for instance, by using random or
   pseudo-random usernames such as random byte strings or ciphertexts
   and only using the pseudo-random usernames a single time.  Note that
   the privacy-friendly usernames also MUST NOT include substrings that
   can be used to relate the identity to a specific user.  Similarly,
   privacy-friendly usernames MUST NOT be formed by a fixed mapping that
   stays the same across multiple different authentications.

   An EAP-TLS peer with a policy allowing communication with EAP-TLS
   servers supporting only TLS 1.2 without privacy and with a static RSA
   key exchange is vulnerable to disclosure of the EAP-TLS peer
   username.  An active attacker can in this case make the EAP-TLS peer
   believe that an EAP-TLS server supporting TLS 1.3 only supports TLS
   1.2 without privacy.  The attacker can simply impersonate the EAP-TLS
   server and negotiate TLS 1.2 with static RSA key exchange and send a
   TLS alert message when the EAP-TLS peer tries to use privacy by
   sending an empty certificate message.  Since the attacker
   (impersonating the EAP-TLS server) does not provide a proof-of-
   possession of the private key until the Finished message when a
   static RSA key exchange is used, an EAP-TLS peer may inadvertently
   disclose its identity (username) to an attacker.  Therefore, it is
   RECOMMENDED for EAP-TLS peers to not use EAP-TLS with TLS 1.2 and
   static RSA-based cipher suites without privacy.  This implies that an
   EAP-TLS peer SHOULD NOT continue the EAP authentication attempt if a
   TLS 1.2 EAP-TLS server sends an EAP-TLS/Request with a TLS alert
   message in response to an empty certificate message from the peer.

5.9.  Pervasive Monitoring

   This is a new section when compared to [RFC5216].

   Pervasive monitoring refers to widespread surveillance of users.  In
   the context of EAP-TLS, pervasive monitoring attacks can target EAP-
   TLS peer devices for tracking them (and their users) when they join a
   network.  By encrypting more information, mandating the use of
   privacy, and always providing forward secrecy, EAP-TLS with TLS 1.3
   offers much better protection against pervasive monitoring.  In
   addition to the privacy attacks discussed above, surveillance on a
   large scale may enable tracking of a user over a wide geographical
   area and across different access networks.  Using information from
   EAP-TLS together with information gathered from other protocols
   increases the risk of identifying individual users.

   In TLS 1.3, the post-handshake key update mechanism provides forward
   secrecy for the traffic secrets.  EAP-TLS 1.3 does not provide a
   similar mechanism for MSK and EMSK.  Implementation using the
   exported MSK and EMSK can achieve forward secrecy by frequently
   deriving new keys in a similar way as described in Section 7.2 of
   [RFC8446].

5.10.  Discovered Vulnerabilities

   This is a new section when compared to [RFC5216].

   Over the years, there have been several serious attacks on earlier
   versions of Transport Layer Security (TLS), including attacks on its
   most commonly used ciphers and modes of operation.  [RFC7457]
   summarizes the attacks that were known at the time of publishing, and
   BCP 195 [RFC7525] [RFC8996] provides recommendations and requirements
   for improving the security of deployed services that use TLS.
   However, many of the attacks are less serious for EAP-TLS as EAP-TLS
   only uses the TLS handshake and does not protect any application
   data.  EAP-TLS implementations MUST mitigate known attacks.  EAP-TLS
   implementations need to monitor and follow new EAP- and TLS-related
   security guidance and requirements such as [RFC8447] and [RFC9155].

5.11.  Cross-Protocol Attacks

   This is a new section when compared to [RFC5216].

   Allowing the same certificate to be used in multiple protocols can
   potentially allow an attacker to authenticate via one protocol and
   then "resume" that session in another protocol.  Section 2.2 suggests
   that certificates typically have one or more FQDNs in the SAN
   extension.  However, those fields are for EAP validation only and do
   not indicate that the certificates are suitable for use with HTTPS or
   other protocols on the named host.

   Section 2.1.3 suggests that authorization rules should be reapplied
   on resumption but does not mandate this behavior.  As a result, this
   cross-protocol resumption could allow the attacker to bypass
   authorization policies and to obtain undesired access to secured
   systems.  Along with making sure that appropriate authorization
   information is available and used during resumption, using different
   certificates and resumption caches for different protocols is
   RECOMMENDED to help keep different protocol usages separate.
