+1. Introduction
+
+ Message authentication provides data integrity and data origin
+ authentication with respect to the original message source. A
+ Message Authentication Code (MAC) is a key-dependent one way hash
+ function. One popular way to construct a MAC algorithm is to use a
+ block cipher in conjunction with the Cipher-Block-Chaining (CBC) mode
+ of operation. The classic CBC-MAC algorithm, while secure for
+ messages of a pre-selected fixed length [CBC-MAC-2], has been shown
+ to be insecure across messages of varying lengths such as the type
+ found in typical IP datagrams [CBC-MAC-2, section 5]. In fact, it is
+ trivial to produce forgeries for a second message given the MAC of a
+ prior message. [HANDBOOK, section 9.62, p. 354]
+
+ This memo specifies the use of AES [AES] in CBC mode [MODES] with a
+ set of extensions [XCBC-MAC-1] to overcome this limitation. This new
+ algorithm is named AES-XCBC-MAC-96. Using the AES block cipher, with
+ its increased block size (128 bits) and increased key length (128
+ bits), provides the new algorithm with the ability to withstand
+ continuing advances in crypto-analytic techniques and computational
+ capability. AES-XCBC-MAC-96 is used as an authentication mechanism
+ within the context of the IPsec Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP)
+ and the Authentication Header (AH) protocols. For further
+ information on ESP, refer to [ESP] and [ROADMAP]. For further
+ information on AH, refer to [AH] and [ROADMAP].
+
+ The goal of AES-XCBC-MAC-96 is to ensure that the datagram is
+ authentic and cannot be modified in transit. Data integrity and data
+ origin authentication as provided by AES-XCBC-MAC-96 are dependent
+ upon the scope of the distribution of the secret key. If the key is
+ known only by the source and destination, this algorithm will provide
+ both data origin authentication and data integrity for datagrams sent
+ between the two parties. In addition, only a party with the
+ identical key can verify the hash.
+
+2. Specification of Requirements
+
+ The keywords "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
+ "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" that
+ appear in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14,
+ RFC 2119 [RFC-2119].

+
+
+3. Basic CBC-MAC with Obligatory 10* Padding
+
+ CBC-MAC uses a block cipher for encryption; the block cipher
+ transforms b bits of plaintext to b bits of ciphertext. The basic
+ CBC-MAC [CBC-MAC-1, CBC-MAC-2] with Obligatory 10* Padding over a
+ b-bit block cipher is calculated as follows for a message M:
+
+ (1) Append a single 1 bit to M. Then append the minimum number of 0
+ bits to M such that the length of M is a multiple of b.
+ [NOTE: This is 1 of several padding schemes that can be used for
+ CBC-MAC. Several others are described in [MODES].]
+
+ (2) Break M into n blocks, M[1] ... M[n], where the blocksize of
+ blocks M[1] ... M[n] is b bits
+
+ (3) Define E[0] = 0x00000000000000000000000000000000
+
+ (4) For each block M[i], where i = 1 ... n:
+ XOR M[i] with E[i-1], then encrypt the result with Key K,
+ yielding E[i].
+
+ (5) E[n] is the b-bit authenticator.
+
+ Basic CBC-MAC with obligatory 10* padding has been shown to be secure
+ for messages up to (but not including) a pre-selected fixed length,
+ in which the length is a multiple of the blocksize. This algorithm
+ is not suitable for IPsec for the following reasons:
+
+ + Any IPsec authenticator must be able to handle messages of
+ arbitrary length. However, the basic CBC-MAC cannot securely
+ handle messages that exceed the pre-selected fixed length.
+
+ + For messages shorter than the pre-selected fixed length, padding
+ the message to the pre-selected fixed length may necessitate
+ additional encryption operations, adding an unacceptable
+ computational penalty.
+
+4. AES-XCBC-MAC-96
+
+ [AES] describes the underlying AES algorithm, while [CBC-MAC-1] and
+ [XCBC-MAC-1] describe the AES-XCBC-MAC algorithm.
+
+ The AES-XCBC-MAC-96 algorithm is a variant of the basic CBC-MAC with
+ obligatory 10* padding; however, AES-XCBC-MAC-96 is secure for
+ messages of arbitrary length. The AES-XCBC-MAC-96 calculations
+ require numerous encryption operations; this encryption MUST be
+ accomplished using AES with a 128-bit key. Given a 128-bit secret
+ key K, AES-XCBC-MAC-96 is calculated as follows for a message M that
+
+
+
+Frankel & Herbert Standards Track [Page 3]
+
+RFC 3566 AES-XCBC-MAC-96 Algorithm September 2003
+
+
+ consists of n blocks, M[1] ... M[n], in which the blocksize of blocks
+ M[1] ... M[n-1] is 128 bits and the blocksize of block M[n] is
+ between 1 and 128 bits:
+
+ (1) Derive 3 128-bit keys (K1, K2 and K3) from the 128-bit secret
+ key K, as follows:
+ K1 = 0x01010101010101010101010101010101 encrypted with Key K
+ K2 = 0x02020202020202020202020202020202 encrypted with Key K
+ K3 = 0x03030303030303030303030303030303 encrypted with Key K
+
+ (2) Define E[0] = 0x00000000000000000000000000000000
+
+ (3) For each block M[i], where i = 1 ... n-1:
+ XOR M[i] with E[i-1], then encrypt the result with Key K1,
+ yielding E[i].
+
+ (4) For block M[n]:
+
+ a) If the blocksize of M[n] is 128 bits:
+ XOR M[n] with E[n-1] and Key K2, then encrypt the result with
+ Key K1, yielding E[n].
+
+ b) If the blocksize of M[n] is less than 128 bits:
+
+ i) Pad M[n] with a single "1" bit, followed by the number of
+ "0" bits (possibly none) required to increase M[n]'s
+ blocksize to 128 bits.
+
+ ii) XOR M[n] with E[n-1] and Key K3, then encrypt the result
+ with Key K1, yielding E[n].
+
+ (5) The authenticator value is the leftmost 96 bits of the 128-bit
+ E[n].
+
+ NOTE1: If M is the empty string, pad and encrypt as in (4)(b) to
+ create M[1] and E[1]. This will never be the case for ESP or AH, but
+ is included for completeness sake.
+
+ NOTE2: [CBC-MAC-1] defines K1 as follows:
+ K1 = Constant1A encrypted with Key K |
+ Constant1B encrypted with Key K.
+
+ However, the second encryption operation is only needed for
+ AES-XCBC-MAC with keys greater than 128 bits; thus, it is not
+ included in the definition of AES-XCBC-MAC-96.

+
+RFC 3566 AES-XCBC-MAC-96 Algorithm September 2003
+
+
+ AES-XCBC-MAC-96 verification is performed as follows:
+ Upon receipt of the AES-XCBC-MAC-96 authenticator, the entire
+ 128-bit value is computed and the first 96 bits are compared to
+ the value stored in the authenticator field.
+
+4.1. Keying Material
+
+ AES-XCBC-MAC-96 is a secret key algorithm. For use with either ESP or
+ AH a fixed key length of 128-bits MUST be supported. Key lengths
+ other than 128-bits MUST NOT be supported (i.e., only 128-bit keys are
+ to be used by AES-XCBC-MAC-96).
+
+ AES-XCBC-MAC-96 actually requires 384 bits of keying material (128
+ bits for the AES keysize + 2 times the blocksize). This keying
+ material can either be provided through the key generation mechanism
+ or it can be generated from a single 128-bit key. The latter approach
+ has been selected for AES-XCBC-MAC-96, since it is analogous to other
+ authenticators used within IPsec. The reason AES-XCBC-MAC-96 uses 3
+ keys is so the length of the input stream does not need to be known
+ in advance. This may be useful for systems that do one-pass assembly
+ of large packets.
+
+ A strong pseudo-random function MUST be used to generate the required
+ 128-bit key. This key, along with the 3 derived keys (K1, K2 and K3),
+ should be used for no purposes other than those specified in the
+ algorithm. In particular, they should not be used as keys in another
+ cryptographic setting. Such abuses will invalidate the security of
+ the authentication algorithm.
+
+ At the time of this writing there are no specified weak keys for use
+ with AES-XCBC-MAC-96. This does not mean to imply that weak keys do
+ not exist. If, at some point, a set of weak keys for AES-XCBC-MAC-96
+ are identified, the use of these weak keys MUST be rejected followed
+ by a request for replacement keys or a newly negotiated Security
+ Association.
+
+ [ARCH] describes the general mechanism for obtaining keying material
+ when multiple keys are required for a single SA (e.g., when an ESP SA
+ requires a key for confidentiality and a key for authentication).
+
+ In order to provide data origin authentication, the key distribution
+ mechanism must ensure that unique keys are allocated and that they
+ are distributed only to the parties participating in the
+ communication.
+
+
+

+RFC 3566 AES-XCBC-MAC-96 Algorithm September 2003
+
+
+ Current attacks do not necessitate a specific recommended frequency
+ for key changes. However, periodic key refreshment is a fundamental
+ security practice that helps against potential weaknesses of the
+ function and the keys, reduces the information available to a
+ cryptanalyst, and limits the damage resulting from a compromised key.
+
+4.2. Padding
+
+ AES-XCBC-MAC-96 operates on 128-bit blocks of data. Padding
+ requirements are specified in [CBC-MAC-1] and are part of the XCBC
+ algorithm. If you build AES-XCBC-MAC-96 according to [CBC-MAC-1] you
+ do not need to add any additional padding as far as AES-XCBC-MAC-96
+ is concerned. With regard to "implicit packet padding" as defined in
+ [AH], no implicit packet padding is required.
+
+4.3. Truncation
+
+ AES-XCBC-MAC produces a 128-bit authenticator value. AES-XCBC-MAC-96
+ is derived by truncating this 128-bit value as described in [HMAC]
+ and verified in [XCBC-MAC-2]. For use with either ESP or AH, a
+ truncated value using the first 96 bits MUST be supported. Upon
+ sending, the truncated value is stored within the authenticator
+ field. Upon receipt, the entire 128-bit value is computed and the
+ first 96 bits are compared to the value stored in the authenticator
+ field. No other authenticator value lengths are supported by
+ AES-XCBC-MAC-96.
+
+ The length of 96 bits was selected because it is the default
+ authenticator length as specified in [AH] and meets the security
+ requirements described in [XCBC-MAC-2].
+
+4.4. Interaction with the ESP Cipher Mechanism
+
+ As of this writing, there are no known issues which preclude the use
+ of AES-XCBC-MAC-96 with any specific cipher algorithm.
+
+4.5. Performance
+
+ For any CBC MAC variant, the major computational effort is expended
+ in computing the underlying block cipher. This algorithm uses a
+ minimum number of AES invocations, one for each block of the message
+ or fraction thereof, resulting in performance equivalent to classic
+ CBC-MAC.
+
+ The key expansion requires 3 additional AES encryption operations,
+ but these can be performed once in advance for each secret key.

+
+5. Security Considerations
+
+ The security provided by AES-XCBC-MAC-96 is based upon the strength
+ of AES. At the time of this writing there are no practical
+ cryptographic attacks against AES or AES-XCBC-MAC-96.
+
+ As is true with any cryptographic algorithm, part of its strength
+ lies in the correctness of the algorithm implementation, the security
+ of the key management mechanism and its implementation, the strength
+ of the associated secret key, and upon the correctness of the
+ implementation in all of the participating systems. This document
+ contains test vectors to assist in verifying the correctness of
+ AES-XCBC-MAC-96 code.
+
+6. IANA Considerations
+
+ IANA has assigned AH Transform Identifier 9 to AH_AES-XCBC-MAC. IANA
+ has assigned AH/ESP Authentication Algorithm Value 9 to AES-XCBC-MAC.
+
+7. Intellectual Property Rights Statement
+
+ The IETF takes no position regarding the validity or scope of any
+ intellectual property or other rights that might be claimed to
+ pertain to the implementation or use of the technology described in
+ this document or the extent to which any license under such rights
+ might or might not be available; neither does it represent that it
+ has made any effort to identify any such rights. Information on the
+ IETF's procedures with respect to rights in standards-track and
+ standards-related documentation can be found in BCP-11. Copies of
+ claims of rights made available for publication and any assurances of
+ licenses to be made available, or the result of an attempt made to
+ obtain a general license or permission for the use of such
+ proprietary rights by implementers or users of this specification can
+ be obtained from the IETF Secretariat.
