+Abstract
+
+ This document describes a framework for defining encryption and
+ checksum mechanisms for use with the Kerberos protocol, defining an
+ abstraction layer between the Kerberos protocol and related
+ protocols, and the actual mechanisms themselves. The document also
+ defines several mechanisms. Some are taken from RFC 1510, modified
+ in form to fit this new framework and occasionally modified in
+ content when the old specification was incorrect. New mechanisms are
+ presented here as well. This document does NOT indicate which
+ mechanisms may be considered "required to implement".

+1. Introduction
+
+ The Kerberos protocols [Kerb] are designed to encrypt messages of
+ arbitrary sizes, using block encryption ciphers or, less commonly,
+ stream encryption ciphers. Encryption is used to prove the
+ identities of the network entities participating in message
+ exchanges. However, nothing in the Kerberos protocol requires that
+ any specific encryption algorithm be used, as long as the algorithm
+ includes certain operations.
+
+ The following sections specify the encryption and checksum mechanisms
+ currently defined for Kerberos, as well as a framework for defining
+ future mechanisms. The encoding, chaining, padding, and other
+ requirements for each are described. Appendix A gives test vectors
+ for several functions.
+
+2. Concepts
+
+ Both encryption and checksum mechanisms are profiled in later
+ sections. Each profile specifies a collection of operations and
+ attributes that must be defined for a mechanism. A Kerberos
+ encryption or checksum mechanism specification is not complete if it
+ does not define all of these operations and attributes.
+
+ An encryption mechanism must provide for confidentiality and
+ integrity of the original plaintext. (Incorporating a checksum may
+ permit integrity checking, if the encryption mode does not provide an
+ integrity check itself.) It must also provide non-malleability
+
+
+
+

+
+RFC 3961 Encryption and Checksum Specifications February 2005
+
+
+ [Bellare98] [Dolev91]. Use of a random confounder prepended to the
+ plaintext is recommended. It should not be possible to determine if
+ two ciphertexts correspond to the same plaintext without the key.
+
+ A checksum mechanism [1] must provide proof of the integrity of the
+ associated message and must preserve the confidentiality of the
+ message in case it is not sent in the clear. Finding two plaintexts
+ with the same checksum should be infeasible. It is NOT required that
+ an eavesdropper be unable to determine whether two checksums are for
+ the same message, as the messages themselves would presumably be
+ visible to any such eavesdropper.
+
+ Due to advances in cryptography, some cryptographers consider using
+ the same key for multiple purposes unwise. Since keys are used in
+ performing a number of different functions in Kerberos, it is
+ desirable to use different keys for each of these purposes, even
+ though we start with a single long-term or session key.
+
+ We do this by enumerating the different uses of keys within Kerberos
+ and by making the "usage number" an input to the encryption or
+ checksum mechanisms; such enumeration is outside the scope of this
+ document. Later sections define simplified profile templates for
+ encryption and checksum mechanisms that use a key derivation function
+ applied to a CBC mode (or similar) cipher and a checksum or hash
+ algorithm.
+
+ We distinguish the "base key" specified by other documents from the
+ "specific key" for a specific encryption or checksum operation. It
+ is expected but not required that the specific key be one or more
+ separate keys derived from the original protocol key and the key
+ usage number. The specific key should not be explicitly referenced
+ outside of this document. The typical language used in other
+ documents should be something like, "encrypt this octet string using
+ this key and this usage number"; generation of the specific key and
+ cipher state (described in the next section) are implicit. The
+ creation of a new cipher-state object, or the re-use of one from a
+ previous encryption operation, may also be explicit.
+
+ New protocols defined in terms of the Kerberos encryption and
+ checksum types should use their own key usage values. Key usages are
+ unsigned 32-bit integers; zero is not permitted.
+
+ All data is assumed to be in the form of strings of octets or eight-
+ bit bytes. Environments with other byte sizes will have to emulate
+ this behavior in order to get correct results.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Raeburn Standards Track [Page 3]
+
+RFC 3961 Encryption and Checksum Specifications February 2005
+
+
+ Each algorithm is assigned an encryption type (or "etype") or
+ checksum type number, for algorithm identification within the
+ Kerberos protocol. The full list of current type number assignments
+ is given in section 8.
+
+3. Encryption Algorithm Profile
+
+ An encryption mechanism profile must define the following attributes
+ and operations. The operations must be defined as functions in the
+ mathematical sense. No additional or implicit inputs (such as
+ Kerberos principal names or message sequence numbers) are permitted.
+
+ protocol key format
+ This describes which octet string values represent valid keys.
+ For encryption mechanisms that don't have perfectly dense key
+ spaces, this will describe the representation used for encoding
+ keys. It need not describe invalid specific values; all key
+ generation routines should avoid such values.
+
+ specific key structure
+ This is not a protocol format at all, but a description of the
+ keying material derived from the chosen key and used to encrypt or
+ decrypt data or compute or verify a checksum. It may, for
+ example, be a single key, a set of keys, or a combination of the
+ original key with additional data. The authors recommend using
+ one or more keys derived from the original key via one-way key
+ derivation functions.
+
+ required checksum mechanism
+ This indicates a checksum mechanism that must be available when
+ this encryption mechanism is used. Since Kerberos has no built in
+ mechanism for negotiating checksum mechanisms, once an encryption
+ mechanism is decided, the corresponding checksum mechanism can be
+ used.
+
+ key-generation seed length, K
+ This is the length of the random bitstring needed to generate a
+ key with the encryption scheme's random-to-key function (described
+ below). This must be a fixed value so that various techniques for
+ producing a random bitstring of a given length may be used with
+ key generation functions.
+
+ key generation functions
+ Keys must be generated in a number of cases, from different types
+ of inputs. All function specifications must indicate how to
+ generate keys in the proper wire format and must avoid generating
+ keys that significantly compromise the confidentiality of
+ encrypted data, if the cryptosystem has such. Entropy from each
+
+
+
+Raeburn Standards Track [Page 4]
+
+RFC 3961 Encryption and Checksum Specifications February 2005
+
+
+ source should be preserved as much as possible. Many of the
+ inputs, although unknown, may be at least partly predictable
+ (e.g., a password string is likely to be entirely in the ASCII
+ subset and of fairly short length in many environments; a semi-
+ random string may include time stamps). The benefit of such
+ predictability to an attacker must be minimized.
+
+ string-to-key (UTF-8 string, UTF-8 string, opaque)->(protocol-key)
+ This function generates a key from two UTF-8 strings and an opaque
+ octet string. One of the strings is usually the principal's pass
+ phrase, but generally it is merely a secret string. The other
+ string is a "salt" string intended to produce different keys from
+ the same password for different users or realms. Although the
+ strings provided will use UTF-8 encoding, no specific version of
+ Unicode should be assumed; all valid UTF-8 strings should be
+ allowed. Strings provided in other encodings MUST first be
+ converted to UTF-8 before applying this function.
+
+ The third argument, the octet string, may be used to pass
+ mechanism-specific parameters into this function. Since doing so
+ implies knowledge of the specific encryption system, generating
+ non-default parameter values should be an uncommon operation, and
+ normal Kerberos applications should be able to treat this
+ parameter block as an opaque object supplied by the Key
+ Distribution Center or defaulted to some mechanism-specific
+ constant value.
+
+ The string-to-key function should be a one-way function so that
+ compromising a user's key in one realm does not compromise it in
+ another, even if the same password (but a different salt) is used.
+
+ random-to-key (bitstring[K])->(protocol-key)
+ This function generates a key from a random bitstring of a
+ specific size. All the bits of the input string are assumed to be
+ equally random, even though the entropy present in the random
+ source may be limited.
+
+ key-derivation (protocol-key, integer)->(specific-key)
+ In this function, the integer input is the key usage value, as
+ described above. An attacker is assumed to know the usage values.
+ The specific-key output value was described in section 2.
+
+ string-to-key parameter format
+ This describes the format of the block of data that can be passed
+ to the string-to-key function above to configure additional
+ parameters for that function. Along with the mechanism of
+ encoding parameter values, bounds on the allowed parameters should
+ also be described to avoid allowing a spoofed KDC to compromise
+
+
+
+Raeburn Standards Track [Page 5]
+
+RFC 3961 Encryption and Checksum Specifications February 2005
+
+
+ the user's password. If practical it may be desirable to
+ construct the encoding so that values unacceptably weakening the
+ resulting key cannot be encoded.
+
+ Local security policy might permit tighter bounds to avoid excess
+ resource consumption. If so, the specification should recommended
+ defaults for these bounds. The description should also outline
+ possible weaknesses if bounds checks or other validations are not
+ applied to a parameter string received from the network.
+
+ As mentioned above, this should be considered opaque to most
+ normal applications.
+
+ default string-to-key parameters (octet string)
+ This default value for the "params" argument to the string-to-key
+ function should be used when the application protocol (Kerberos or
+ other) does not explicitly set the parameter value. As indicated
+ above, in most cases this parameter block should be treated as an
+ opaque object.
+
+ cipher state
+ This describes any information that can be carried over from one
+ encryption or decryption operation to the next, for use with a
+ given specific key. For example, a block cipher used in CBC mode
+ may put an initial vector of one block in the cipher state. Other
+ encryption modes may track nonces or other data.
+
+ This state must be non-empty and must influence encryption so that
+ messages are decrypted in the same order they were a encrypted, if
+ the cipher state is carried over from one encryption to the next.
+ Distinguishing out-of-order or missing messages from corrupted
+ messages is not required. If desired, this can be done at a
+ higher level by including sequence numbers and not "chaining" the
+ cipher state between encryption operations.
+
+ The cipher state may not be reused in multiple encryption or
+ decryption operations. These operations all generate a new cipher
+ state that may be used for following operations using the same key
+ and operation.
+
+ The contents of the cipher state must be treated as opaque outside
+ of encryption system specifications.
+
+ initial cipher state (specific-key, direction)->(state)
+ This describes the generation of the initial value for the cipher
+ state if it is not being carried over from a previous encryption
+ or decryption operation.
+
+
+
+
+Raeburn Standards Track [Page 6]
+
+RFC 3961 Encryption and Checksum Specifications February 2005
+
+
+ This describes any initial state setup needed before encrypting
+ arbitrary amounts of data with a given specific key. The specific
+ key and the direction of operations to be performed (encrypt
+ versus decrypt) must be the only input needed for this
+ initialization.
+
+ This state should be treated as opaque in any uses outside of an
+ encryption algorithm definition.
+
+ IMPLEMENTATION NOTE: [Kerb1510] was vague on whether and to what
+ degree an application protocol could exercise control over the
+ initial vector used in DES CBC operations. Some existing
+ implementations permit setting the initial vector. This framework
+ does not provide for application control of the cipher state
+ (beyond "initialize" and "carry over from previous encryption"),
+ as the form and content of the initial cipher state can vary
+ between encryption systems and may not always be a single block of
+ random data.
+
+ New Kerberos application protocols should not assume control over
+ the initial vector, or that one even exists. However, a general-
+ purpose implementation may wish to provide the capability, in case
+ applications explicitly setting it are encountered.
+
+ encrypt (specific-key, state, octet string)->(state, octet string)
+ This function takes the specific key, cipher state, and a non-
+ empty plaintext string as input and generates ciphertext and a new
+ cipher state as outputs. If the basic encryption algorithm itself
+ does not provide for integrity protection (e.g., DES in CBC mode),
+ then some form of verifiable MAC or checksum must be included.
+ Some random factor such as a confounder should be included so that
+ an observer cannot know if two messages contain the same
+ plaintext, even if the cipher state and specific keys are the
+ same. The exact length of the plaintext need not be encoded, but
+ if it is not and if padding is required, the padding must be added
+ at the end of the string so that the decrypted version may be
+ parsed from the beginning.
+
+ The specification of the encryption function must indicate not
+ only the precise contents of the output octet string, but also the
+ output cipher state. The application protocol may carry the
+ output cipher state forward from one encryption with a given
+ specific key to another; the effect of this "chaining" must be
+ defined [2].
+
+ Assuming that values for the specific key and cipher state are
+ correctly-produced, no input octet string may result in an error
+ indication.
+
+
+
+Raeburn Standards Track [Page 7]
+
+RFC 3961 Encryption and Checksum Specifications February 2005
+
+
+ decrypt (specific-key, state, octet string)->(state, octet string)
+ This function takes the specific key, cipher state, and ciphertext
+ as inputs and verifies the integrity of the supplied ciphertext.
+ If the ciphertext's integrity is intact, this function produces
+ the plaintext and a new cipher state as outputs; otherwise, an
+ error indication must be returned, and the data discarded.
+
+ The result of the decryption may be longer than the original
+ plaintext, as, for example, when the encryption mode adds padding
+ to reach a multiple of a block size. If this is the case, any
+ extra octets must come after the decoded plaintext. An
+ application protocol that needs to know the exact length of the
+ message must encode a length or recognizable "end of message"
+ marker within the plaintext [3].
+
+ As with the encryption function, a correct specification for this
+ function must indicate not only the contents of the output octet
+ string, but also the resulting cipher state.
+
+ pseudo-random (protocol-key, octet-string)->(octet-string)
+ This pseudo-random function should generate an octet string of
+ some size that is independent of the octet string input. The PRF
+ output string should be suitable for use in key generation, even
+ if the octet string input is public. It should not reveal the
+ input key, even if the output is made public.
+
+ These operations and attributes are all that is required to support
+ Kerberos and various proposed preauthentication schemes.
+
+ For convenience of certain application protocols that may wish to use
+ the encryption profile, we add the constraint that, for any given
+ plaintext input size, a message size must exist between that given
+ size and that size plus 65,535 such that the length of the decrypted
+ version of the ciphertext will never have extra octets at the end.
+
+ Expressed mathematically, for every message length L1, there exists a
+ message size L2 such that
+
+ L2 >= L1
+ L2 < L1 + 65,536
+ for every message M with |M| = L2, decrypt(encrypt(M)) = M
+
+ A document defining a new encryption type should also describe known
+ weaknesses or attacks, so that its security may be fairly assessed,
+ and should include test vectors or other validation procedures for
+ the operations defined. Specific references to information that is
+ readily available elsewhere are sufficient.

+
+
+4. Checksum Algorithm Profile
+
+ A checksum mechanism profile must define the following attributes and
+ operations:
+
+ associated encryption algorithm(s)
+ This indicates the types of encryption keys this checksum
+ mechanism can be used with.
+
+ A keyed checksum mechanism may have more than one associated
+ encryption algorithm if they share the same wire-key format,
+ string-to-key function, default string-to-key-parameters, and key
+ derivation function. (This combination means that, for example, a
+ checksum type, key usage value, and password are adequate to get
+ the specific key used to compute a checksum.)
+
+ An unkeyed checksum mechanism can be used with any encryption
+ type, as the key is ignored, but its use must be limited to cases
+ where the checksum itself is protected, to avoid trivial attacks.
+
+ get_mic function
+ This function generates a MIC token for a given specific key (see
+ section 3) and message (represented as an octet string) that may
+ be used to verify the integrity of the associated message. This
+ function is not required to return the same deterministic result
+ for each use; it need only generate a token that the verify_mic
+ routine can check.
+
+ The output of this function will also dictate the size of the
+ checksum. It must be no larger than 65,535 octets.
+
+ verify_mic function
+ Given a specific key, message, and MIC token, this function
+ ascertains whether the message integrity has been compromised.
+ For a deterministic get_mic routine, the corresponding verify_mic
+ may simply generate another checksum and compare the two.
+
+ The get_mic and verify_mic operations must allow inputs of arbitrary
+ length; if any padding is needed, the padding scheme must be
+ specified as part of these functions.
+
+ These operations and attributes are all that should be required to
+ support Kerberos and various proposed preauthentication schemes.
+
+ As with encryption mechanism definition documents, documents defining
+ new checksum mechanisms should indicate validation processes and
+ known weaknesses.

+
+5. Simplified Profile for CBC Ciphers with Key Derivation
+
+ The profile outlined in sections 3 and 4 describes a large number of
+ operations that must be defined for encryption and checksum
+ algorithms to be used with Kerberos. Here we describe a simpler
+ profile that can generate both encryption and checksum mechanism
+ definitions, filling in uses of key derivation in appropriate places,
+ providing integrity protection, and defining multiple operations for
+ the cryptosystem profile based on a smaller set of operations. Not
+ all of the existing cryptosystems for Kerberos fit into this
+ simplified profile, but we recommend that future cryptosystems use it
+ or something based on it [4].
+
+ Not all the operations in the complete profiles are defined through
+ this mechanism; several must still be defined for each new algorithm
+ pair.
+
+5.1. A Key Derivation Function
+
+ Rather than define some scheme by which a "protocol key" is composed
+ of a large number of encryption keys, we use keys derived from a base
+ key to perform cryptographic operations. The base key must be used
+ only for generating the derived keys, and this derivation must be
+ non-invertible and entropy preserving. Given these restrictions,
+ compromise of one derived key does not compromise others. Attack of
+ the base key is limited, as it is only used for derivation and is not
+ exposed to any user data.
+
+ To generate a derived key from a base key, we generate a pseudorandom
+ octet string by using an algorithm DR, described below, and generate
+ a key from that octet string by using a function dependent on the
+ encryption algorithm. The input length needed for that function,
+ which is also dependent on the encryption algorithm, dictates the
+ length of the string to be generated by the DR algorithm (the value
+ "k" below). These procedures are based on the key derivation in
+ [Blumenthal96].
+
+ Derived Key = DK(Base Key, Well-Known Constant)
+
+ DK(Key, Constant) = random-to-key(DR(Key, Constant))
+
+ DR(Key, Constant) = k-truncate(E(Key, Constant,
+ initial-cipher-state))
+
+ Here DR is the random-octet generation function described below, and
+ DK is the key-derivation function produced from it. In this
+ construction, E(Key, Plaintext, CipherState) is a cipher, Constant is
+ a well-known constant determined by the specific usage of this
+
+
+
+Raeburn Standards Track [Page 10]
+
+RFC 3961 Encryption and Checksum Specifications February 2005
+
+
+ function, and k-truncate truncates its argument by taking the first k
+ bits. Here, k is the key generation seed length needed for the
+ encryption system.
+
+ The output of the DR function is a string of bits; the actual key is
+ produced by applying the cryptosystem's random-to-key operation on
+ this bitstring.
+
+ If the Constant is smaller than the cipher block size of E, then it
+ must be expanded with n-fold() so it can be encrypted. If the output
+ of E is shorter than k bits, it is fed back into the encryption as
+ many times as necessary. The construct is as follows (where |
+ indicates concatentation):
+
+ K1 = E(Key, n-fold(Constant), initial-cipher-state)
+ K2 = E(Key, K1, initial-cipher-state)
+ K3 = E(Key, K2, initial-cipher-state)
+ K4 = ...
+
+ DR(Key, Constant) = k-truncate(K1 | K2 | K3 | K4 ...)
+
+ n-fold is an algorithm that takes m input bits and "stretches" them
+ to form n output bits with equal contribution from each input bit to
+ the output, as described in [Blumenthal96]:
+
+ We first define a primitive called n-folding, which takes a
+ variable-length input block and produces a fixed-length output
+ sequence. The intent is to give each input bit approximately
+ equal weight in determining the value of each output bit. Note
+ that whenever we need to treat a string of octets as a number, the
+ assumed representation is Big-Endian -- Most Significant Byte
+ first.
+
+ To n-fold a number X, replicate the input value to a length that
+ is the least common multiple of n and the length of X. Before
+ each repetition, the input is rotated to the right by 13 bit
+ positions. The successive n-bit chunks are added together using
+ 1's-complement addition (that is, with end-around carry) to yield
+ a n-bit result....
+
+ Test vectors for n-fold are supplied in appendix A [5].
+
+ In this section, n-fold is always used to produce c bits of output,
+ where c is the cipher block size of E.
+
+ The size of the Constant must not be larger than c, because reducing
+ the length of the Constant by n-folding can cause collisions.
+
+
+
+
+Raeburn Standards Track [Page 11]
+
+RFC 3961 Encryption and Checksum Specifications February 2005
+
+
+ If the size of the Constant is smaller than c, then the Constant must
+ be n-folded to length c. This string is used as input to E. If the
+ block size of E is less than the random-to-key input size, then the
+ output from E is taken as input to a second invocation of E. This
+ process is repeated until the number of bits accumulated is greater
+ than or equal to the random-to-key input size. When enough bits have
+ been computed, the first k are taken as the random data used to
+ create the key with the algorithm-dependent random-to-key function.
+
+ As the derived key is the result of one or more encryptions in the
+ base key, deriving the base key from the derived key is equivalent to
+ determining the key from a very small number of plaintext/ciphertext
+ pairs. Thus, this construction is as strong as the cryptosystem
+ itself.
+
+5.2. Simplified Profile Parameters
+
+ These are the operations and attributes that must be defined:

+ string-to-key function
+ default string-to-key parameters
+ key-generation seed length, k
+ random-to-key function
+ As above for the normal encryption mechanism profile.
+
+ unkeyed hash algorithm, H
+ This should be a collision-resistant hash algorithm with fixed-
+ size output, suitable for use in an HMAC [HMAC]. It must support
+ inputs of arbitrary length. Its output must be at least the
+ message block size (below).
+
+ HMAC output size, h
+ This indicates the size of the leading substring output by the
+ HMAC function that should be used in transmitted messages. It
+ should be at least half the output size of the hash function H,
+ and at least 80 bits; it need not match the output size.
+
+ message block size, m
+ This is the size of the smallest units the cipher can handle in
+ the mode in which it is being used. Messages will be padded to a
+ multiple of this size. If a block cipher is used in a mode that

+
+
+ can handle messages that are not multiples of the cipher block
+ size, such as CBC mode with cipher text stealing (CTS, see [RC5]),
+ this value would be one octet. For traditional CBC mode with
+ padding, it would be the underlying cipher's block size.
+
+ This value must be a multiple of eight bits (one octet).
+
+ encryption/decryption functions, E and D
+ These are basic encryption and decryption functions for messages
+ of sizes that are multiples of the message block size. No
+ integrity checking or confounder should be included here. For
+ inputs these functions take the IV or similar data, a protocol-
+ format key, and an octet string, returning a new IV and octet
+ string.
+
+ The encryption function is not required to use CBC mode but is
+ assumed to be using something with similar properties. In
+ particular, prepending a cipher block-size confounder to the
+ plaintext should alter the entire ciphertext (comparable to
+ choosing and including a random initial vector for CBC mode).
+
+ The result of encrypting one cipher block (of size c, above) must
+ be deterministic for the random octet generation function DR in
+ the previous section to work. For best security, it should also
+ be no larger than c.
+
+ cipher block size, c
+ This is the block size of the block cipher underlying the
+ encryption and decryption functions indicated above, used for key
+ derivation and for the size of the message confounder and initial
+ vector. (If a block cipher is not in use, some comparable
+ parameter should be determined.) It must be at least 5 octets.
+
+ This is not actually an independent parameter; rather, it is a
+ property of the functions E and D. It is listed here to clarify
+ the distinction between it and the message block size, m.
+
+ Although there are still a number of properties to specify, they are
+ fewer and simpler than in the full profile.
+
+5.3. Cryptosystem Profile Based on Simplified Profile
+
+ The above key derivation function is used to produce three
+ intermediate keys. One is used for computing checksums of
+ unencrypted data. The other two are used for encrypting and
+ checksumming plaintext to be sent encrypted.
+
+
+
+
+
+Raeburn Standards Track [Page 13]
+
+RFC 3961 Encryption and Checksum Specifications February 2005
+
+
+ The ciphertext output is the concatenation of the output of the basic
+ encryption function E and a (possibly truncated) HMAC using the
+ specified hash function H, both applied to the plaintext with a
+ random confounder prefix and sufficient padding to bring it to a
+ multiple of the message block size. When the HMAC is computed, the
+ key is used in the protocol key form.
+
+ Decryption is performed by removing the (partial) HMAC, decrypting
+ the remainder, and verifying the HMAC. The cipher state is an
+ initial vector, initialized to zero.
+
+ The substring notation "[1..h]" in the following table should be read
+ as using 1-based indexing; leading substrings are used.

+
+ These checksum types use no encryption keys and thus can be used in
+ combination with any encryption type, but they may only be used with
+ caution, in limited circumstances where the lack of a key does not
+ provide a window for an attack, preferably as part of an encrypted

+
+6.1.1. The RSA MD5 Checksum
+

+
+6.1.3. CRC-32 Checksum
+
+ This CRC-32 checksum calculates a checksum based on a cyclic
+ redundancy check as described in ISO 3309 [CRC] but modified as
+ described below. The resulting checksum is four (4) octets in
+ length. The CRC-32 is neither keyed nor collision-proof; thus, the
+ use of this checksum is not recommended. An attacker using a
+ probabilistic chosen-plaintext attack as described in [SG92] might be
+ able to generate an alternative message that satisfies the checksum.
+
+ The CRC-32 checksum used in the des-cbc-crc encryption mode is
+ identical to the 32-bit FCS described in ISO 3309 with two
+ exceptions: The sum with the all-ones polynomial times x**k is
+ omitted, and the final remainder is not ones-complemented. ISO 3309
+ describes the FCS in terms of bits, whereas this document describes
+ the Kerberos protocol in terms of octets. To clarify the ISO 3309
+ definition for the purpose of computing the CRC-32 in the des-cbc-crc
+ encryption mode, the ordering of bits in each octet shall be assumed
+ to be LSB first. Given this assumed ordering of bits within an
+ octet, the mapping of bits to polynomial coefficients shall be
+ identical to that specified in ISO 3309.

+6.2. DES-Based Encryption and Checksum Types
+
+ These encryption systems encrypt information under the Data
+ Encryption Standard [DES77] by using the cipher block chaining mode
+ [DESM80]. A checksum is computed as described below and placed in
+ the cksum field. DES blocks are eight bytes. As a result, the data
+ to be encrypted (the concatenation of confounder, checksum, and
+ message) must be padded to an eight byte boundary before encryption.
+ The values of the padding bytes are unspecified.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Raeburn Standards Track [Page 18]
+
+RFC 3961 Encryption and Checksum Specifications February 2005
+
+
+ Plaintext and DES ciphertext are encoded as blocks of eight octets,
+ which are concatenated to make the 64-bit inputs for the DES
+ algorithms. The first octet supplies the eight most significant bits
+ (with the octet's MSB used as the DES input block's MSB, etc.), the
+ second octet the next eight bits, and so on. The eighth octet
+ supplies the 8 least significant bits.
+
+ Encryption under DES using cipher block chaining requires an
+ additional input in the form of an initialization vector; this vector
+ is specified below for each encryption system.
+
+ The DES specifications [DESI81] identify four 'weak' and twelve
+ 'semi-weak' keys; these keys SHALL NOT be used for encrypting
+ messages for use in Kerberos. The "variant keys" generated for the
+ RSA-MD5-DES, RSA-MD4-DES, and DES-MAC checksum types by an
+ eXclusive-OR of a DES key with a constant are not checked for this
+ property.
+
+ A DES key is eight octets of data. This consists of 56 bits of
+ actual key data, and eight parity bits, one per octet. The key is
+ encoded as a series of eight octets written in MSB-first order. The
+ bits within the key are also encoded in MSB order. For example, if
+ the encryption key is
+ (B1,B2,...,B7,P1,B8,...,B14,P2,B15,...,B49,P7,B50,...,B56,P8), where
+ B1,B2,...,B56 are the key bits in MSB order, and P1,P2,...,P8 are the
+ parity bits, the first octet of the key would be B1,B2,...,B7,P1
+ (with B1 as the most significant bit). See the [DESM80] introduction
+ for reference.
+
+ Encryption Data Format
+
+ The format for the data to be encrypted includes a one-block
+ confounder, a checksum, the encoded plaintext, and any necessary
+ padding, as described in the following diagram. The msg-seq field
+ contains the part of the protocol message to be encrypted.
+
+ +-----------+----------+---------+-----+
+ |confounder | checksum | msg-seq | pad |
+ +-----------+----------+---------+-----+
+
+ One generates a random confounder of one block, placing it in
+ 'confounder'; zeros out the 'checksum' field (of length appropriate
+ to exactly hold the checksum to be computed); adds the necessary
+ padding; calculates the appropriate checksum over the whole sequence,
+ placing the result in 'checksum'; and then encrypts using the
+ specified encryption type and the appropriate key.

+
+
+ String or Random-Data to Key Transformation
+
+ To generate a DES key from two UTF-8 text strings (password and
+ salt), the two strings are concatenated, password first, and the
+ result is then padded with zero-valued octets to a multiple of eight
+ octets.
+
+ The top bit of each octet (always zero if the password is plain
+ ASCII, as was assumed when the original specification was written) is
+ discarded, and the remaining seven bits of each octet form a
+ bitstring. This is then fan-folded and eXclusive-ORed with itself to
+ produce a 56-bit string. An eight-octet key is formed from this
+ string, each octet using seven bits from the bitstring, leaving the
+ least significant bit unassigned. The key is then "corrected" by
+ correcting the parity on the key, and if the key matches a 'weak' or
+ 'semi-weak' key as described in the DES specification, it is
+ eXclusive-ORed with the constant 0x00000000000000F0. This key is
+ then used to generate a DES CBC checksum on the initial string with
+ the salt appended. The result of the CBC checksum is then
+ "corrected" as described above to form the result, which is returned
+ as the key.
+
+ For purposes of the string-to-key function, the DES CBC checksum is
+ calculated by CBC encrypting a string using the key as IV and the
+ final eight byte block as the checksum.
+
+ Pseudocode follows:
+
+ removeMSBits(8byteblock) {
+ /* Treats a 64 bit block as 8 octets and removes the MSB in
+ each octet (in big endian mode) and concatenates the
+ result. E.g., the input octet string:

+ The RSA-MD4-DES-K checksum calculates a keyed collision-proof
+ checksum by applying the RSA MD4 checksum algorithm and encrypting
+ the results by using DES in cipher block chaining (CBC) mode with a
+ DES key as both key and initialization vector. The resulting

+ believed to be collision-proof. Note that this checksum type is the
+ old method for encoding the RSA-MD4-DES checksum; it is no longer

+
+6.3. Triple-DES Based Encryption and Checksum Types
+
+ This encryption and checksum type pair is based on the Triple DES
+ cryptosystem in Outer-CBC mode and on the HMAC-SHA1 message
+ authentication algorithm.
+
+ A Triple DES key is the concatenation of three DES keys as described
+ above for des-cbc-md5. A Triple DES key is generated from random
+ data by creating three DES keys from separate sequences of random
+ data.
+
+ Encrypted data using this type must be generated as described in
+ section 5.3. If the length of the input data is not a multiple of
+ the block size, zero-valued octets must be used to pad the plaintext
+ to the next eight-octet boundary. The confounder must be eight
+ random octets (one block).
+
+ The simplified profile for Triple DES, with key derivation as defined
+ in section 5, is as follows:
+
+ des3-cbc-hmac-sha1-kd, hmac-sha1-des3-kd

+ sixteen (16). The hmac-sha1-des3-kd checksum algorithm is assigned a
+ checksum type number of twelve (12).
+
+6.3.1. Triple DES Key Production (random-to-key, string-to-key)
+
+ The 168 bits of random key data are converted to a protocol key value
+ as follows. First, the 168 bits are divided into three groups of 56
+ bits, which are expanded individually into 64 bits as follows:
+
+ DES3random-to-key:
+ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 p
+ 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 p
+ 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 p
+ 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 p
+ 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 p
+ 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 p
+ 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 p
+ 56 48 40 32 24 16 8 p
+
+ The "p" bits are parity bits computed over the data bits. The output
+ of the three expansions, each corrected to avoid "weak" and "semi-
+ weak" keys as in section 6.2, are concatenated to form the protocol
+ key value.
+
+
+
+Raeburn Standards Track [Page 29]
+
+RFC 3961 Encryption and Checksum Specifications February 2005
+
+
+ The string-to-key function is used to transform UTF-8 passwords into
+ DES3 keys. The DES3 string-to-key function relies on the "N-fold"
+ algorithm and DK function, described in section 5.
+
+ The n-fold algorithm is applied to the password string concatenated
+ with a salt value. For 3-key triple DES, the operation will involve
+ a 168-fold of the input password string, to generate an intermediate
+ key, from which the user's long-term key will be derived with the DK
+ function. The DES3 string-to-key function is shown here in
+ pseudocode:
+
+ DES3string-to-key(passwordString, salt, params)
+ if (params != emptyString)
+ error("invalid params");
+ s = passwordString + salt
+ tmpKey = random-to-key(168-fold(s))
+ key = DK (tmpKey, KerberosConstant)
+
+ Weak key checking is performed in the random-to-key and DK
+ operations. The KerberosConstant value is the byte string {0x6b 0x65
+ 0x72 0x62 0x65 0x72 0x6f 0x73}. These values correspond to the ASCII
+ encoding for the string "kerberos".
+
+7. Use of Kerberos Encryption Outside This Specification
+
+ Several Kerberos-based application protocols and preauthentication
+ systems have been designed and deployed that perform encryption and
+ message integrity checks in various ways. Although in some cases
+ there may be good reason for specifying these protocols in terms of
+ specific encryption or checksum algorithms, we anticipate that in
+ many cases this will not be true, and more generic approaches
+ independent of particular algorithms will be desirable. Rather than
+ have each protocol designer reinvent schemes for protecting data,
+ using multiple keys, etc., we have attempted to present in this
+ section a general framework that should be sufficient not only for
+ the Kerberos protocol itself but also for many preauthentication
+ systems and application protocols, while trying to avoid some of the
+ assumptions that can work their way into such protocol designs.
+
+ Some problematic assumptions we've seen (and sometimes made) include
+ the following: a random bitstring is always valid as a key (not true
+ for DES keys with parity); the basic block encryption chaining mode
+ provides no integrity checking, or can easily be separated from such
+ checking (not true for many modes in development that do both
+ simultaneously); a checksum for a message always results in the same
+ value (not true if a confounder is incorporated); an initial vector
+ is used (may not be true if a block cipher in CBC mode is not in
+ use).
+
+
+
+Raeburn Standards Track [Page 30]
+
+RFC 3961 Encryption and Checksum Specifications February 2005
+
+
+ Although such assumptions the may hold for any given set of
+ encryption and checksum algorithms, they may not be true of the next
+ algorithms to be defined, leaving the application protocol unable to
+ make use of those algorithms without updates to its specification.
+
+ The Kerberos protocol uses only the attributes and operations
+ described in sections 3 and 4. Preauthentication systems and
+ application protocols making use of Kerberos are encouraged to use
+ them as well. The specific key and string-to-key parameters should
+ generally be treated as opaque. Although the string-to-key
+ parameters are manipulated as an octet string, the representation for
+ the specific key structure is implementation defined; it may not even
+ be a single object.
+
+ We don't recommend doing so, but some application protocols will
+ undoubtedly continue to use the key data directly, even if only in
+ some of the currently existing protocol specifications. An
+ implementation intended to support general Kerberos applications may
+ therefore need to make the key data available, as well as the
+ attributes and operations described in sections 3 and 4 [8].

+
+9. Implementation Notes
+
+ The "interface" described here is the minimal information that must
+ be defined to make a cryptosystem useful within Kerberos in an
+ interoperable fashion. The use of functional notation used in some
+ places is not an attempt to define an API for cryptographic
+ functionality within Kerberos. Actual implementations providing
+ clean APIs will probably make additional information available, that
+ could be derived from a specification written to the framework given
+ here. For example, an application designer may wish to determine the
+ largest number of bytes that can be encrypted without overflowing a
+
+
+
+Raeburn Standards Track [Page 32]
+
+RFC 3961 Encryption and Checksum Specifications February 2005
+
+
+ certain size output buffer or conversely, the maximum number of bytes
+ that might be obtained by decrypting a ciphertext message of a given
+ size. (In fact, an implementation of the GSS-API Kerberos mechanism
+ [GSS-KRB5] will require some of these.)
+
+ The presence of a mechanism in this document should not be taken to
+ indicate that it must be implemented for compliance with any
+ specification; required mechanisms will be specified elsewhere.
+ Indeed, some of the mechanisms described here for backward
+ compatibility are now considered rather weak for protecting critical
+ data.
+
+10. Security Considerations
+
+ Recent years have brought so many advancements in large-scale attacks
+ capability against DES that it is no longer considered a strong
+ encryption mechanism. Triple-DES is generally preferred in its
+ place, despite its poorer performance. See [ESP-DES] for a summary
+ of some of the potential attacks and [EFF-DES] for a detailed
+ discussion of the implementation of particular attacks. However,
+ most Kerberos implementations still have DES as their primary
+ interoperable encryption type.
+
+ DES has four 'weak' keys and twelve 'semi-weak' keys, and the use of
+ single-DES here avoids them. However, DES also has 48 'possibly-
+ weak' keys [Schneier96] (note that the tables in many editions of the
+ reference contains errors) that are not avoided.
+
+ DES weak keys have the property that E1(E1(P)) = P (where E1 denotes
+ encryption of a single block with key 1). DES semi-weak keys, or
+ "dual" keys, are pairs of keys with the property that E1(P) = D2(P),
+ and thus E2(E1(P)) = P. Because of the use of CBC mode and the
+ leading random confounder, however, these properties are unlikely to
+ present a security problem.
+
+ Many of the choices concerning when to perform weak-key corrections
+ relate more to compatibility with existing implementations than to
+ any risk analysis.
+
+ Although checks are also done for the component DES keys in a
+ triple-DES key, the nature of the weak keys make it extremely
+ unlikely that they will weaken the triple-DES encryption. It is only
+ slightly more likely than having the middle of the three sub-keys
+ match one of the other two, which effectively converts the encryption
+ to single-DES - a case we make no effort to avoid.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Raeburn Standards Track [Page 33]
+
+RFC 3961 Encryption and Checksum Specifications February 2005
+
+
+ The true CRC-32 checksum is not collision-proof; an attacker could
+ use a probabilistic chosen-plaintext attack to generate a valid
+ message even if a confounder is used [SG92]. The use of collision-
+ proof checksums is of course recommended for environments where such
+ attacks represent a significant threat. The "simplifications" (read:
+ bugs) introduced when CRC-32 was implemented for Kerberos cause
+ leading zeros effectively to be ignored, so messages differing only
+ in leading zero bits will have the same checksum.
+
+ [HMAC] and [IPSEC-HMAC] discuss weaknesses of the HMAC algorithm.
+ Unlike [IPSEC-HMAC], the triple-DES specification here does not use
+ the suggested truncation of the HMAC output. As pointed out in
+ [IPSEC-HMAC], SHA-1 was not developed for use as a keyed hash
+ function, which is a criterion of HMAC. [HMAC-TEST] contains test
+ vectors for HMAC-SHA-1.
+
+ The mit_des_string_to_key function was originally constructed with
+ the assumption that all input would be ASCII; it ignores the top bit
+ of each input byte. Folding with XOR is also not an especially good
+ mixing mechanism for preserving randomness.
+
+ The n-fold function used in the string-to-key operation for des3-
+ cbc-hmac-sha1-kd was designed to cause each bit of input to
+ contribute equally to the output. It was not designed to maximize or
+ equally distribute randomness in the input, and conceivably
+ randomness may be lost in cases of partially structured input. This
+ should only be an issue for highly structured passwords, however.
+
+ [RFC1851] discusses the relative strength of triple-DES encryption.
+ The relatively slow speed of triple-DES encryption may also be an
+ issue for some applications.
+
+ [Bellovin91] suggests that analyses of encryption schemes include a
+ model of an attacker capable of submitting known plaintexts to be
+ encrypted with an unknown key, as well as be able to perform many
+ types of operations on known protocol messages. Recent experiences
+ with the chosen-plaintext attacks on Kerberos version 4 bear out the
+ value of this suggestion.
+
+ The use of unkeyed encrypted checksums, such as those used in the
+ single-DES cryptosystems specified in [Kerb1510], allows for cut-
+ and-paste attacks, especially if a confounder is not used. In
+ addition, unkeyed encrypted checksums are vulnerable to chosen-
+ plaintext attacks: An attacker with access to an encryption oracle
+ can easily encrypt the required unkeyed checksum along with the
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Raeburn Standards Track [Page 34]
+
+RFC 3961 Encryption and Checksum Specifications February 2005
+
+
+ chosen plaintext. [Bellovin99] These weaknesses, combined with a
+ common implementation design choice described below, allow for a
+ cross-protocol attack from version 4 to version 5.
+
+ The use of a random confounder is an important means to prevent an
+ attacker from making effective use of protocol exchanges as an
+ encryption oracle. In Kerberos version 4, the encryption of constant
+ plaintext to constant ciphertext makes an effective encryption oracle
+ for an attacker. The use of random confounders in [Kerb1510]
+ frustrates this sort of chosen-plaintext attack.
+
+ Using the same key for multiple purposes can enable or increase the
+ scope of chosen-plaintext attacks. Some software that implements
+ both versions 4 and 5 of the Kerberos protocol uses the same keys for
+ both versions. This enables the encryption oracle of version 4 to be
+ used to attack version 5. Vulnerabilities to attacks such as this
+ cross-protocol attack make it unwise to use a key for multiple
+ purposes.
+
+ This document, like the Kerberos protocol, does not address limiting
+ the amount of data a key may be used with to a quantity based on the
+ robustness of the algorithm or size of the key. It is assumed that
+ any defined algorithms and key sizes will be strong enough to support
+ very large amounts of data, or they will be deprecated once
+ significant attacks are known.
+
+ This document also places no bounds on the amount of data that can be
+ handled in various operations. To avoid denial of service attacks,
+ implementations will probably seek to restrict message sizes at some
+ higher level.
+
+11. IANA Considerations
+
+ Two registries for numeric values have been created: Kerberos
+ Encryption Type Numbers and Kerberos Checksum Type Numbers. These
+ are signed values ranging from -2147483648 to 2147483647. Positive
+ values should be assigned only for algorithms specified in accordance
+ with this specification for use with Kerberos or related protocols.
+ Negative values are for private use; local and experimental
+ algorithms should use these values. Zero is reserved and may not be
+ assigned.
+
+ Positive encryption- and checksum-type numbers may be assigned
+ following either of two policies described in [BCP26].
+
+ Standards-track specifications may be assigned values under the
+ Standards Action policy.
+
+
+
+
+Raeburn Standards Track [Page 35]
+
+RFC 3961 Encryption and Checksum Specifications February 2005
+
+
+ Specifications in non-standards track RFCs may be assigned values
+ after Expert Review. A non-IETF specification may be assigned values
+ by publishing an Informational or standards-track RFC referencing the
+ external specification; that specification must be public and
+ published in some permanent record, much like the IETF RFCs. It is
+ highly desirable, though not required, that the full specification be
+ published as an IETF RFC.
+
+ Smaller encryption type values should be used for IETF standards-
+ track mechanisms, and much higher values (16777216 and above) for
+ other mechanisms. (Rationale: In the Kerberos ASN.1 encoding,
+ smaller numbers encode to smaller octet sequences, so this favors
+ standards-track mechanisms with slightly smaller messages.) Aside
+ from that guideline, IANA may choose numbers as it sees fit.
+
+ Internet-Draft specifications should not include values for
+ encryption- and checksum-type numbers. Instead, they should indicate
+ that values would be assigned by IANA when the document is approved
+ as an RFC. For development and interoperability testing, values in
+ the private-use range (negative values) may be used but should not be
+ included in the draft specification.
+
+ Each registered value should have an associated unique reference
+ name. The lists given in section 8 were used to create the initial
+ registry; they include reservations for specifications in progress in
+ parallel with this document, and certain other values believed to
+ already be in use.

+
+ The function mit_des_string_to_key is defined in section 6.2. We

+ results. The fourth test demonstrates the use of UTF-8 with three
+ characters. The last two tests are specifically constructed so as to
+ trigger the weak-key fixups for the intermediate key produced by
+ fan-folding; we have no test cases that cause such fixups for the
+ final key.

+
+B. Significant Changes from RFC 1510
+
+ The encryption and checksum mechanism profiles are new. The old
+ specification defined a few operations for various mechanisms but
+ didn't outline what abstract properties should be required of new
+ mechanisms, or how to ensure that a mechanism specification is
+ complete enough for interoperability between implementations. The
+ new profiles differ from the old specification in a few ways:
+
+ Some message definitions in [Kerb1510] could be read as permitting
+ the initial vector to be specified by the application; the text
+ was too vague. It is explicitly not permitted in this
+ specification. Some encryption algorithms may not use
+ initialization vectors, so relying on chosen, secret
+ initialization vectors for security is unwise. Also, the
+ prepended confounder in the existing algorithms is roughly
+ equivalent to a per-message initialization vector that is revealed
+ in encrypted form. However, carrying state across from one
+ encryption to another is explicitly permitted through the opaque
+ "cipher state" object.
+
+ The use of key derivation is new.
+
+ Several new methods are introduced, including generation of a key
+ in wire-protocol format from random input data.
+
+ The means for influencing the string-to-key algorithm are laid out
+ more clearly.
+
+ Triple-DES support is new.
+
+ The pseudo-random function is new.
+
+ The des-cbc-crc, DES string-to-key and CRC descriptions have been
+ updated to align them with existing implementations.
+
+
+
+Raeburn Standards Track [Page 45]
+
+RFC 3961 Encryption and Checksum Specifications February 2005
+
+
+ [Kerb1510] did not indicate what character set or encoding might be
+ used for pass phrases and salts.
+
+ In [Kerb1510], key types, encryption algorithms, and checksum
+ algorithms were only loosely associated, and the association was not
+ well described. In this specification, key types and encryption
+ algorithms have a one-to-one correspondence, and associations between
+ encryption and checksum algorithms are described so that checksums
+ can be computed given negotiated keys, without requiring further
+ negotiation for checksum types.
+
+Notes
+
+ [1] Although Message Authentication Code (MAC) or Message Integrity
+ Check (MIC) would be more appropriate terms for many of the uses
+ in this document, we continue to use the term checksum for
+ historical reasons.
+
+ [2] Extending CBC mode across messages would be one obvious example
+ of this chaining. Another might be the use of counter mode, with
+ a counter randomly initialized and attached to the ciphertext; a
+ second message could continue incrementing the counter when
+ chaining the cipher state, thus avoiding having to transmit
+ another counter value. However, this chaining is only useful for
+ uninterrupted, ordered sequences of messages.
+
+ [3] In the case of Kerberos, the encrypted objects will generally be
+ ASN.1 DER encodings, which contain indications of their length in
+ the first few octets.
+
+ [4] As of the time of this writing, new modes of operation have been
+ proposed, some of which may permit encryption and integrity
+ protection simultaneously. After some of these proposals have
+ been subjected to adequate analysis, we may wish to formulate a
+ new simplified profile based on one of them.
+
+ [5] It should be noted that the sample vector in appendix B.2 of the
+ original paper appears to be incorrect. Two independent
+ implementations from the specification (one in C by Marc
+ Horowitz, and another in Scheme by Bill Sommerfeld) agree on a
+ value different from that in [Blumenthal96].
+
+ [6] For example, in MIT's implementation of [Kerb1510], the rsa-md5
+ unkeyed checksum of application data may be included in an
+ authenticator encrypted in a service's key.
+
+ [7] Using a variant of the key limits the use of a key to a
+ particular function, separating the functions of generating a
+
+
+
+Raeburn Standards Track [Page 46]
+
+RFC 3961 Encryption and Checksum Specifications February 2005
+
+
+ checksum from other encryption performed using the session key.
+ The constant 0xF0F0F0F0F0F0F0F0 was chosen because it maintains
+ key parity. The properties of DES precluded the use of the
+ complement. The same constant is used for similar purpose in the
+ Message Integrity Check in the Privacy Enhanced Mail standard.
+
+ [8] Perhaps one of the more common reasons for directly performing
+ encryption is direct control over the negotiation and to select a
+ "sufficiently strong" encryption algorithm (whatever that means
+ in the context of a given application). Although Kerberos
+ directly provides no direct facility for negotiating encryption
+ types between the application client and server, there are other
+ means to accomplish similar goals (for example, requesting only
+ "strong" session key types from the KDC, and assuming that the
+ type actually returned by the KDC will be understood and
+ supported by the application server).
