+ establish and maintain security associations using the Kerberos
+ authentication system. KINK reuses the Quick Mode payloads of the
+ Internet Key Exchange (IKE), which should lead to substantial reuse
+ of existing IKE implementations.

+RFC 4430 KINK March 2006
+
+
+1. Introduction
+
+ KINK is designed to provide a secure, scalable mechanism for
+ establishing keys between communicating entities within a centrally
+ managed environment in which it is important to maintain consistent
+ security policy. The security goals of KINK are to provide privacy,
+ authentication, and replay protection of key management messages and
+ to avoid denial of service vulnerabilities whenever possible. The
+ performance goals of the protocol are to have a low computational
+ cost, low latency, and a small footprint. It is also to avoid or
+ minimize the use of public key operations. In particular, the
+ protocol provides the capability to establish IPsec security
+ associations (SAs) in two messages with minimal computational effort.
+ These requirements are described in RFC 3129 [REQ4KINK].
+
+ Kerberos [KERBEROS] provides an efficient authentication mechanism
+ for clients and servers using a trusted third-party model. Kerberos
+ also provides a mechanism for cross-realm authentication natively. A
+ client obtains a ticket from an online authentication server, the Key
+ Distribution Center (KDC). The ticket is then used to construct a
+ credential for authenticating the client to the server. As a result
+ of this authentication operation, the server will also share a secret
+ key with the client. KINK uses this property as the basis of
+ distributing keys for IPsec.
+
+ The central key management provided by Kerberos is efficient because
+ it limits computational cost and limits complexity versus IKE's
+ necessity of using public key cryptography [IKE]. Initial
+ authentication to the KDC may be performed using either symmetric
+ keys, or asymmetric keys using the Public Key Cryptography for
+ Initial Authentication in Kerberos [PKINIT]; however, subsequent
+ requests for tickets as well as authenticated exchanges between the
+ client and servers always utilize symmetric cryptography. Therefore,
+ public key operations (if any) are limited and are amortized over the
+ lifetime of the credentials acquired in the initial authentication
+ operation to the KDC. For example, a client may use a single public
+ key exchange with the KDC to efficiently establish multiple SAs with
+ many other servers in the realm of the KDC. Kerberos also scales
+ better than direct peer-to-peer keying when symmetric keys are used.
+ The reason is that since the keys are stored in the KDC, the number
+ of principal keys is O(n+m) rather than O(n*m), where "n" is the
+ number of clients and "m" is the number of servers.
+
+1.1. Conventions Used in This Document
+
+ The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
+ "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
+ document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].

+
+RFC 4430 KINK March 2006
+
+
+ It is assumed that the readers are familiar with the terms and
+ concepts described in Kerberos Version 5 [KERBEROS], IPsec [IPSEC],
+ and IKE [IKE].
+
+2. Protocol Overview
+
+ KINK is a command/response protocol that can create, delete, and
+ maintain IPsec SAs. Each command or response contains a common
+ header along with a set of type-length-value payloads. The type of a
+ command or a response constrains the payloads sent in the messages of
+ the exchange. KINK itself is a stateless protocol in that each
+ command or response does not require storage of hard state for KINK.
+ This is in contrast to IKE, which uses Main Mode to first establish
+ an Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol (ISAKMP)
+ SA followed by subsequent Quick Mode exchanges.
+
+ KINK uses Kerberos mechanisms to provide mutual authentication and
+ replay protection. For establishing SAs, KINK provides
+ confidentiality for the payloads that follow the Kerberos AP-REQ
+ payload. The design of KINK mitigates denial of service attacks by
+ requiring authenticated exchanges before the use of any public key
+ operations and the installation of any state. KINK also provides a
+ means of using Kerberos User-to-User mechanisms when there is not a
+ key shared between the server and the KDC. This is typically, but
+ not limited to, the case with IPsec peers using PKINIT for initial
+ authentication.
+
+ KINK directly reuses Quick Mode payloads defined in section 5.5 of
+ [IKE], with some minor changes and omissions. In most cases, KINK
+ exchanges are a single command and its response. An optional third
+ message is required when creating SAs, only if the responder rejects
+ the first proposal from the initiator or wants to contribute the
+ keying materials. KINK also provides rekeying and dead peer
+ detection.
+
+3. Message Flows
+
+ All KINK message flows follow the same pattern between the two peers:
+ a command, a response, and an optional acknowledgement in a CREATE
+ flow. A command is a GETTGT, CREATE, DELETE, or STATUS message; a
+ response is a REPLY message; and an acknowledgement is an ACK
+ message.
+
+ KINK uses Kerberos as the authentication mechanism; therefore, a KINK
+ host needs to get a service ticket for each peer before actual key
+ negotiations. This is basically a pure Kerberos exchange and the
+ actual KDC traffic here is for illustrative purposes only. In
+ practice, when a principal obtains various tickets is a subject of
+
+
+
+Sakane, et al. Standards Track [Page 4]
+
+RFC 4430 KINK March 2006
+
+
+ Kerberos and local policy consideration. As an exception, the GETTGT
+ message flow of KINK (described in section 3.1) is used when a User-
+ to-User authentication is required. In this flow, we assume that
+ both A and B have ticket-granting tickets (TGTs) from their KDCs.
+
+ After a service ticket is obtained, KINK uses the CREATE message flow
+ (section 3.2), DELETE message flow (section 3.3), and STATUS message
+ flow (section 3.4) to manage SAs. In these flows, we assume that A
+ has a service ticket for B.
+
+3.1. GETTGT Message Flow
+
+ This flow is used to retrieve a TGT from the remote peer in User-to-
+ User authentication mode.
+
+ If the initiator determines that it will not be able to get a normal
+ (non-User-to-User) service ticket for the responder, it can try a
+ User-to-User authentication. In this case, it first fetches a TGT
+ from the responder in order to get a User-to-User service ticket:
+
+ A B KDC
+ ------ ------ ---
+ 1 GETTGT+KINK_TGT_REQ------>
+
+ 2 <-------REPLY+KINK_TGT_REP
+
+ 3 TGS-REQ+TGT(B)------------------------------------>
+
+ 4 <-------------------------------------------TGS-REP
+
+ Figure 1: GETTGT Message Flow
+
+ The initiator MAY support the following events as triggers to go to
+ the User-to-User path. Note that the two errors described below will
+ not be authenticated, and how to act on them depends on the policy.
+
+ o The local policy says that the responder requires a User-
+ to-User authentication.
+
+ o A KRB_AP_ERR_USER_TO_USER_REQUIRED error is returned from
+ the responder.
+
+ o A KDC_ERR_MUST_USE_USER2USER error is returned from the
+ KDC.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Sakane, et al. Standards Track [Page 5]
+
+RFC 4430 KINK March 2006
+
+
+3.2. CREATE Message Flow
+
+ This flow creates SAs. The CREATE command takes an "optimistic"
+ approach, where SAs are initially created on the expectation that the
+ responder will choose the initial proposed payload. The optimistic
+ proposal is placed in the first transform payload(s) of the first
+ proposal. The initiator MUST check to see if the optimistic proposal
+ was selected by comparing all transforms and attributes, which MUST
+ be identical to those in the initiator's optimistic proposal with the
+ exceptions of LIFE_KILOBYTES and LIFE_SECONDS. Each of these
+ attributes MAY be set to a lower value by the responder and still
+ expect optimistic keying, but MUST NOT be set to a higher value that
+ MUST generate a NO-PROPOSAL-CHOSEN error. The initiator MUST use the
+ shorter lifetime.
+
+ When a CREATE command contains an existing Security Parameter Index
+ (SPI), the responder MUST reject it and SHOULD return an ISAKMP
+ notification with INVALID-SPI.
+
+ When a key exchange (KE) payload is sent from the initiator but the
+ responder does not support it, the responder MUST reject it with an
+ ISAKMP notification of INVALID-PAYLOAD-TYPE containing a KE payload
+ type as its notification data. When the initiator receives this
+ error, it MAY retry without a KE payload (as another transaction) if
+ its policy allows that.

+
+RFC 4430 KINK March 2006
+
+
+ Creating SAs has two modes: 2-way handshake and 3-way handshake.
+ The initiator usually begins a negotiation expecting a 2-way
+ handshake. When the optimistic proposal is not chosen by the
+ responder, the negotiation is switched to a 3-way handshake. When
+ and only when the initiator uses a KE payload, 3-way handshake is
+ expected from the beginning.
+
+ A 2-way handshake is performed in the following steps:
+
+ 1) The host A creates an inbound SA (B->A) in its SA database
+ using the optimistic proposal in the ISAKMP SA proposal. It is
+ then ready to receive any messages from B.
+ 2) A then sends the CREATE message to B.
+ 3) If B agrees to A's optimistic proposal, B creates an inbound SA
+ (A->B) and an outbound SA (B->A) in its database. If B does
+ not choose the first proposal or wants to add a Nonce payload,
+ switch to step 3 of the 3-way handshake described below.
+ 4) B then sends a REPLY to A without a Nonce payload and without
+ requesting an ACK.
+ 5) Upon receipt of the REPLY, A creates an outbound SA (A->B).
+
+ A 3-way handshake is performed in the following steps:
+
+ 1) The host A sends the CREATE message to B without creating any
+ SA.
+ 2) B chooses one proposal according to its policy.
+ 3) B creates an inbound SA (A->B) and sends the actual choice in
+ the REPLY. It SHOULD send the optional Nonce payload (as it
+ does not increase message count and generally increases entropy
+ sources) and MUST request that the REPLY be acknowledged.
+ 4) Upon receipt of the REPLY, A creates the inbound SA (B->A) (or
+ modifies it as necessary, if switched from 2-way), and the
+ outbound SA (A->B).
+ 5) A now sends the ACK message.
+ 6) Upon receipt of the ACK, B installs the final outbound SA
+ (B->A).
+
+ If B does not choose the first proposal, adds a nonce, or accepts the
+ KE exchange, then it MUST request an ACK (i.e., set the ACKREQ bit)
+ so that it can install the final outbound SA. The initiator MUST
+ always generate an ACK if the ACKREQ bit is set in the KINK header,
+ even if it believes that the responder was in error.
+
+3.2.1. CREATE Key Derivation Considerations
+
+ The CREATE command's optimistic approach allows an SA to be created
+ in two messages rather than three. The implication of a two-message
+ exchange is that B will not contribute to the key since A must set up
+
+
+
+Sakane, et al. Standards Track [Page 7]
+
+RFC 4430 KINK March 2006
+
+
+ the inbound SA before it receives any additional keying material from
+ B. This may be suspect under normal circumstances; however, KINK
+ takes advantage of the fact that the KDC provides a reliable source
+ of randomness which is used in key derivation. In many cases, this
+ will provide an adequate session key so that B will not require an
+ acknowledgement. Since B is always at liberty to contribute to the
+ keying material, this is strictly a trade-off between the key
+ strength versus the number of messages, which KINK implementations
+ may decide as a matter of policy.
+
+3.3. DELETE Message Flow
+
+ The DELETE command deletes existing SAs. The domain of
+ interpretation (DOI)-specific payloads describe the actual SA to be
+ deleted. For the IPsec DOI, those payloads will include an ISAKMP
+ payload containing the list of the SPIs to be deleted.
+
+ A B KDC
+ ------ ------ ---
+
+ A deletes outbound SA to B.
+
+ 1 DELETE+ISAKMP------------>
+
+ B deletes inbound and outbound SA to A.
+
+ 2 <-------------REPLY+ISAKMP
+
+ A deletes inbound SA to B.
+
+ Figure 3: DELETE Message Flow
+
+ The DELETE command takes a "pessimistic" approach, which does not
+ delete inbound SAs until it receives acknowledgement that the other
+ host has received the DELETE. The exception to the pessimistic
+ approach is if the initiator wants to immediately cease all activity
+ on an inbound SA. In this case, it MAY delete the inbound SA as well
+ in step 1, above.
+
+ The ISAKMP payload contains ISAKMP Delete payload(s) that indicate
+ the inbound SA(s) for the initiator of this flow. KINK does not
+ allow half-open SAs; thus, when the responder receives a DELETE
+ command, it MUST delete SAs of both directions, and MUST reply with
+ ISAKMP Delete payload(s) that indicate the inbound SA(s) for the
+ responder of this flow. If the responder cannot find an appropriate
+ SPI to be deleted, it MUST return an ISAKMP notification with
+ INVALID_SPI, which also serves to inform the initiator that it can
+ delete the inbound SA.
+
+
+
+Sakane, et al. Standards Track [Page 8]
+
+RFC 4430 KINK March 2006
+
+
+ A race condition with the DELETE flow exists. Due to network
+ reordering, etc., packets in flight while the DELETE operation is
+ taking place may arrive after the diagrams above, which recommend
+ deleting the inbound SA. A KINK implementation SHOULD implement a
+ grace timer that SHOULD be set to a period of at least two times the
+ average round-trip time, or to a configurable value. A KINK
+ implementation MAY choose to set the grace period to zero at
+ appropriate times to delete an SA ungracefully. The behavior
+ described here is referred from the behavior of the TCP [RFC793]
+ flags FIN and RST.
+
+3.4. STATUS Message Flow
+
+ This flow is used to send any information to a peer or to elicit any
+ information from a peer. An initiator may send a STATUS command to
+ the responder at any time, optionally with DOI-specific ISAKMP
+ payloads. In the case of the IPsec DOI, these are generally in the
+ form of ISAKMP Notification payloads. A STATUS command is also used
+ as a means of dead peer detection described in section 3.7.
+
+ A B KDC
+ ------ ------ ---
+
+ 1 STATUS[+ISAKMP]---------->
+
+ 2 <-----------REPLY[+ISAKMP]
+
+ Figure 4: STATUS Message Flow
+
+3.5. Reporting Errors
+
+ When the responder detects an error in a received command, it can
+ send a DOI-specific payload to indicate the error in a REPLY message.
+ There are three types of payloads that can indicate errors:
+ KINK_KRB_ERROR payloads for Kerberos errors, KINK_ERROR payloads for
+ KINK errors, and KINK_ISAKMP payloads for ISAKMP errors. Details are
+ described in sections 4.2.3, 4.2.8, and 4.2.6, respectively.
+
+ If the initiator detects an error in a received reply, there is no
+ means to report it back to the responder. The initiator SHOULD log
+ the event and MAY take a remedial action by reinitiating the initial
+ command.
+
+ If the server clock and the client clock are off by more than the
+ policy-determined clock skew limit (usually 5 minutes), the server
+ MUST return a KRB_AP_ERR_SKEW. The optional client's time in the
+ KRB-ERROR SHOULD be filled out. If the server protects the error by
+ adding the Cksum field and returning the correct client's time, the
+
+
+
+Sakane, et al. Standards Track [Page 9]
+
+RFC 4430 KINK March 2006
+
+
+ client SHOULD compute the difference (in seconds) between the two
+ clocks based upon the client and server time contained in the
+ KRB-ERROR message. The client SHOULD store this clock difference and
+ use it to adjust its clock in subsequent messages. If the error is
+ not protected, the client MUST NOT use the difference to adjust
+ subsequent messages, because doing so would allow an attacker to
+ construct authenticators that can be used to mount replay attacks.
+
+3.6. Rekeying Security Associations
+
+ KINK expects the initiator of an SA to be responsible for rekeying
+ the SA for two reasons. The first reason is to prevent needless
+ duplication of SAs as the result of collisions due to an initiator
+ and responder both trying to renew an existing SA. The second reason
+ is due to the client/server nature of Kerberos exchanges, which
+ expects the client to get and maintain tickets. While KINK expects
+ that a KINK host is able to get and maintain tickets, in practice it
+ is often advantageous for servers to wait for clients to initiate
+ sessions so that they do not need to maintain a large ticket cache.
+
+ There are no special semantics for rekeying SAs in KINK. That is, in
+ order to rekey an existing SA, the initiator must CREATE a new SA
+ followed by either deleting the old SA with the DELETE flow or
+ letting it time out. When identical flow selectors are available on
+ different SAs, KINK implementations SHOULD choose the SA most
+ recently created. It should be noted that KINK avoids most of the
+ problems of [IKE] rekeying by having a reliable delete mechanism.
+
+ Normally, a KINK implementation that rekeys existing SAs will try to
+ rekey the SA ahead of an SA termination, which may include the hard
+ lifetime in time/bytecount or the overflow of the sequence number
+ counter. We call this time "soft lifetime". The soft lifetime MUST
+ be randomized to avoid synchronization with similar implementations.
+ In the case of the lifetime in time, one reasonable approach to
+ determine the soft lifetime is picking a random time between T-rekey
+ and T-retrans and subtracting it from the hard lifetime. Here,
+ T-rekey is the reasonable maximum rekeying margin, and T-retrans is
+ the amount of time it would take to go through a full retransmission
+ cycle. T-rekey SHOULD be at least twice as high as T-retrans.
+
+3.7. Dead Peer Detection
+
+ In order to determine that a KINK peer has lost its security database
+ information, KINK peers MUST record the current epoch for which they
+ have valid SA information for a peer and reflect that epoch in each
+ AP-REQ and AP-REP message. When a KINK peer creates state for a
+ given SA, it MUST also record the principal's epoch. If it discovers
+
+
+
+
+Sakane, et al. Standards Track [Page 10]
+
+RFC 4430 KINK March 2006
+
+
+ on a subsequent message that the principal's epoch has changed, it
+ MUST consider all SAs created by that principal as invalid, and take
+ some action such as tearing those SAs down.
+
+ While a KINK peer SHOULD use feedback from routing (in the form of
+ ICMP messages) as a trigger to check whether or not the peer is still
+ alive, a KINK peer MUST NOT conclude the peer is dead simply based on
+ unprotected routing information (said ICMP messages).
+
+ If there is suspicion that a peer may be dead (based on any
+ information available to the KINK peer, including lack of IPsec
+ traffic, etc.), the KINK STATUS message SHOULD be used to coerce an
+ acknowledgement out of the peer. Since nothing is negotiated about
+ dead peer detection in KINK, each peer can decide its own metric for
+ "suspicion" and also what timeouts to use before declaring a peer
+ dead due to lack of response to the STATUS message. This is
+ desirable, and does not break interoperability.
+
+ The STATUS message has a twofold effect. First, it elicits a
+ cryptographically secured (and replay-protected) response from the
+ peer, which tells us whether or not the peer is reachable/alive.
+ Second, it carries the epoch number of the peer, so we know whether
+ or not the peer has rebooted and lost all state. This is crucial to
+ the KINK protocol: In IKE, if a peer reboots, we lose all
+ cryptographic context, and no cryptographically secure communication
+ is possible without renegotiating keys. In KINK, due to Kerberos
+ tickets, we can communicate securely with a peer, even if the peer
+ rebooted, as the shared cryptographic key used is carried in the
+ Kerberos ticket. Thus, active cryptographic communication is not an
+ indication that the peer has not rebooted and lost all state, and the
+ epoch is needed.
+
+ Assume a Peer A sending a STATUS and a peer B sending the REPLY (see
+ section 3.4). Peer B MAY assume that the sender is alive, and the
+ epoch in the STATUS message will indicate whether or not the peer A
+ has lost state. Peer B MUST acknowledge the STATUS message with a
+ REPLY message, as described in section 3.4.
+
+ The REPLY message will indicate to peer A that the peer is alive, and
+ the epoch in the REPLY will indicate whether peer B has lost its
+ state or not. If peer A does not receive a REPLY message from peer B
+ in a suitable timeout, peer A MAY send another STATUS message. It is
+ up to peer A to decide how aggressively to declare peer B dead. The
+ level of aggressiveness may depend on many factors such as rapid fail
+ over versus number of messages sent by nodes with large numbers of
+ SAs.
+
+
+
+
+
+Sakane, et al. Standards Track [Page 11]
+
+RFC 4430 KINK March 2006
+
+
+ Note that peer B MUST NOT make any inferences about a lack of STATUS
+ message from peer A. Peer B MAY use a STATUS message from peer A as
+ an indication of A's aliveness, but peer B MUST NOT expect another
+ STATUS message at any time (i.e., dead peer detection is not periodic
+ keepalives).
+
+ Strategies for sending STATUS messages are the following: Peer A may
+ decide to send a STATUS message only after a prolonged period where
+ no traffic was sent in either direction over the IPsec SAs with the
+ peer. Once there is traffic, peer A may want to know if the traffic
+ is going into a black hole, and send a STATUS message.
+ Alternatively, peer A may use an idle timer to detect lack of traffic
+ with the peer, and send STATUS messages in the quiet phase to make
+ sure the peer is still alive for when traffic needs to finally be

+3.7.1. Coping with Dead User-to-User Peers
+
+ When an initiator uses a User-to-User ticket and a responder has lost
+ its previous TGT, the usual dead peer detection (DPD) mechanism does
+ not work, because the responder cannot decrypt the ticket with its
+ new TGT. In this case, the following actions are taken.
+
+ o When the responder receives a KINK command with a User-to-User
+ ticket that cannot be decrypted with its TGT, it returns a
+ REPLY with a KINK_TGT_REP payload containing the TGT.
+
+ o When the initiator receives a KINK_TGT_REP, it retrieves a new
+ service ticket with the TGT and retries the command.
+
+ This does not directly define a method to detect a dead User-to-User
+ peer, but to recover from the situation that the responder does not
+ have an appropriate TGT to decrypt a service ticket sent from the
+ initiator. After recovery, they can exchange their epochs, and usual
+ DPD mechanism will detect a dead peer if it really has been dead.
+
+ The initiator MUST NOT think the peer has been dead on the receipt of
+ a KINK_TGT_REP because of two reasons. One is that the message is
+ not authenticated, and the other is that losing a TGT does not
+ necessarily mean losing the SA database information. The initiator
+ SHOULD NOT forget the previous service ticket until the new one is
+ successfully obtained in order to reduce the cost when a forged
+ KINK_TGT_REP is received.

+
+ o RESRVED (4 bits) -- Reserved and MUST be zero when sent, MUST
+ be ignored when received.
+
+ o Length (2 octets) -- Length of the message in octets. It is
+ not forbidden in KINK that there are unnecessary data after
+ the message, but the Length field MUST represent the actual
+ length of the message.
+
+ o DOI (4 octets) -- The domain of interpretation. All DOIs must
+ be registered with the IANA in the ISAKMP Domain of
+ Interpretation section of the isakmp-registry [ISAKMP-REG].
+ The IANA Assigned Number for the Internet IP Security DOI
+ [IPDOI] is one (1). This field defines the context of all
+ sub-payloads in this message. If sub-payloads have a DOI
+ field (e.g., Security Association Payload), then the DOI in
+ that sub-payload MUST be checked against the DOI in this
+ header, and the values MUST be the same.
+
+ o XID (4 octets) -- The transaction ID. A KINK transaction is
+ bound together by a transaction ID, which is created by the
+ command initiator and replicated in subsequent messages in the
+ transaction. A transaction is defined as a command, a reply,
+ and an optional acknowledgement. Transaction IDs are used by
+ the initiator to discriminate between multiple outstanding
+ requests to a responder. It is not used for replay protection
+ because that functionality is provided by Kerberos. The value
+ of XID is chosen by the initiator and MUST be unique with all
+ outstanding transactions. XIDs MAY be constructed by using a
+ monotonic counter or random number generator.
+
+ o NextPayload (1 octet) -- Indicates the type of the first
+ payload after the message header.
+
+ o A, or ACKREQ (1 bit) -- ACK Request. Set to one if the
+ responder requires an explicit acknowledgement that a REPLY
+ was received. An initiator MUST NOT set this flag, nor should
+ a responder except for a REPLY to a CREATE when the optimistic
+ proposal is chosen.
+
+ o RESERVED2 (7 bits) -- Reserved and MUST be zero on send, MUST
+ be ignored by a receiver.
+
+ o CksumLen (2 octets) -- CksumLen is the length in octets of the
+ cryptographic checksum of the message. A CksumLen of zero
+ implies that the message is unauthenticated.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Sakane, et al. Standards Track [Page 14]
+
+RFC 4430 KINK March 2006
+
+
+ o Cksum (variable) -- Kerberos keyed checksum over the entire
+ message excluding the Cksum field itself. When any padding
+ bytes are required between the last payload and the Cksum
+ field, they MUST be included in the calculation. This field
+ MUST always be present whenever a key is available via an
+ AP-REQ or AP-REP payload. The key used MUST be the session
+ key in the ticket. When a key is not available, this field is
+ not present, and the CksumLen field is set to zero. The
+ content of this field is the output of the Kerberos 5 get_mic
+ function [KCRYPTO]. The get_mic function used is specified by
+ a checksum type, which is a "required checksum mechanism" of
+ the etype for the Kerberos session key in the Kerberos ticket.
+ If the checksum type is not a keyed algorithm, the message
+ MUST be rejected.
+
+ To compute the checksum, the CksumLen field is zeroed out and
+ the Length field is filled with the total packet length
+ without the checksum. Then, the packet is passed to the
+ get_mic function and its output is appended to the packet.
+ Any KINK padding after the Cksum field is not allowed, except
+ the Kerberos internal one, which may be included in the output
+ of the get_mic function. Finally, the CksumLen field is
+ filled with the checksum length and the Length field is filled
+ with the total packet length including the checksum.
+
+ To verify the checksum, a length-without-checksum is
+ calculated from the value of Length field, subtracting the
+ CksumLen. The Length field is filled with the length-
+ without-checksum value and the CksumLen field is zeroed out.
+ Then, the packet without checksum (offset from 0 to length-
+ without-checksum minus 1 of the received packet) and the
+ checksum (offset from length-without-checksum to the last) are
+ passed to the verify_mic function. If verification fails, the
+ message MUST be dropped.
+
+ The KINK header is followed immediately by a series of
+ Type/Length/Value fields, defined in section 4.2.
+
+4.1. KINK Alignment Rules
+
+ KINK has the following rules regarding alignment and padding:
+
+ o All length fields MUST reflect the actual number of octets in
+ the structure; i.e., they do not account for padding bytes
+ required by KINK alignments.
+
+ o KINK headers, payloads, and the Cksum field MUST be aligned on
+ 4-octet boundaries.
+
+
+
+Sakane, et al. Standards Track [Page 15]
+
+RFC 4430 KINK March 2006
+
+
+ o Variable length fields (except the Cksum field) MUST always
+ start immediately after the last octet of the previous field.
+ That is, they are not aligned to 4-octet boundaries.
+
+4.2. KINK Payloads
+
+ Immediately following the header, there is a list of
+ Type/Length/Value (TLV) payloads. There can be any number of
+ payloads following the header. Each payload MUST begin with a
+ payload header. Each payload header is built on the generic payload
+ header. Any data immediately follows the generic header. Payloads
+ are all implicitly aligned to 4-octet boundaries, though the payload
+ length field MUST accurately reflect the actual number of octets in
+ the payload.

+
+ The KINK_AP_REQ payload relays a Kerberos AP-REQ to the responder.
+ The AP-REQ MUST request mutual authentication.
+
+ This document does not specify how to generate the principal name.
+ That is, complete principal names may be stored in local policy,
+ Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDNs) may be converted to principal
+ names, IP addresses may be converted to principal names by secure
+ name services, etc., but see the first paragraph of the Security
+ Considerations section.
+
+ If the peer's principal name for the KINK service is generated from
+ an FQDN, the principal name, which the initiator starts from, will be
+ "kink/fqdn@REALM"; where "kink" is a literal string for the KINK
+ IPsec service, "fqdn" is the fully qualified domain name of the
+ service host, and "REALM" is the Kerberos realm of the service. A
+ principal name is case sensitive, and "fqdn" part MUST be lowercase
+ as described in [KERBEROS].

+4.2.3. KINK_KRB_ERROR Payload
+
+ The KINK_KRB_ERROR payload relays Kerberos type errors back to the
+ initiator. The initiator MUST be prepared to receive any valid
+ Kerberos error type [KERBEROS].
+
+ KINK implementations SHOULD make use of a KINK Cksum field when
+ returning KINK_KRB_ERROR and the appropriate service key is
+ available. Especially in the case of clock skew errors, protecting
+ the error at the server creates a better user experience because it
+ does not require clocks to be synchronized. However, many Kerberos
+ implementations do not make it easy to obtain the session key in
+ order to protect error packets. For unauthenticated Kerberos errors,
+ the initiator MAY choose to act on them, but SHOULD take precautions
+ against make-work kinds of attacks.
+
+ Note that KINK does not make use of the text or e_data field of the
+ Kerberos error message, though a compliant KINK implementation MUST
+ be prepared to receive them and MAY log them.

+ o PrincName -- The name of the principal that the initiator
+ wants to communicate with. It is assumed that the initiator
+ knows the responder's principal name (including the realm
+ name) in the same way as the non-User-to-User case. The TGT
+ returned MUST NOT be an inter-realm TGT and its cname and
+ crealm MUST match the requested principal name, so that the
+ initiator can rendezvous with the responder at the responder's
+ realm.
+
+ PrincName values are octet string representations of a
+ principal and realm name formatted just like the octet string
+ used in the "NAME" component of Generic Security Service
+ Application Program Interface (GSS-API) [RFC2743] exported
+ name token for the Kerberos V5 GSS-API mechanism [RFC1964].
+ See RFC 1964, section 2.1.3.
+
+ If the responder is not the requested principal and is unable to get
+ a TGT for the name, it MAY return a KRB_AP_ERR_NOT_US. If the
+ administrative policy prohibits returning a TGT, it MAY return a
+ KINK_U2UDENIED.

+
+ The KINK_ISAKMP payload encapsulates the IKE Quick Mode (phase 2)
+ payloads to take the appropriate action dependent on the KINK
+ command. There may be any number of KINK_ISAKMP payloads within a
+ single KINK message. While [IKE] is somewhat fuzzy about whether
+ multiple different SAs may be created within a single IKE message,
+ KINK explicitly requires that a new ISAKMP header be used for each
+ discrete SA operation. In other words, a KINK implementation MUST
+ NOT send multiple Quick Mode transactions within a single KINK_ISAKMP
+ payload.
+
+ The purpose of the Quick Mode version is to allow backward
+ compatibility with IKE and ISAKMP if there are subsequent revisions.
+ At the present time, the Quick Mode major and minor versions are set
+ to one and zero (1.0), respectively. These versions do not
+ correspond to the ISAKMP version in the ISAKMP header. A compliant
+ KINK implementation MUST support receipt of 1.0 payloads. It MAY
+ support subsequent versions (both sending and receiving), and SHOULD
+ provide a means to resort back to Quick Mode version 1.0 if the KINK
+ peer is unable to process future versions. A compliant KINK
+ implementation MUST NOT mix Quick Mode versions in any given
+ transaction.
+
+4.2.7. KINK_ENCRYPT Payload
+
+ The KINK_ENCRYPT payload encapsulates other KINK payloads and is
+ encrypted using the session key and the algorithm specified by its
+ etype. This payload MUST be the final one in the outer payload chain
+ of the message. The KINK_ENCRYPT payload MUST be encrypted before
+ the final KINK checksum is applied.

+ o InnerNextPload -- First payload type of the inner series of
+ encrypted KINK payloads.
+
+ o RESERVED2 -- Reserved and MUST be zero when sent, MUST be
+ ignored when received.
+
+ The coverage of the encrypted data begins at InnerNextPload so that
+ the first payload's type is kept confidential. Thus, the number of
+ encrypted octets is PayloadLength - 4.
+
+ The format of the encryption payload follows the normal Kerberos
+ semantics. Its content is the output of an encrypt function defined
+ in the Encryption Algorithm Profile section of [KCRYPTO]. Parameters
+ such as encrypt function itself, specific-key, and initial state are
+ defined with the etype. The encrypt function may have padding in
+ itself and there may be some garbage data at the end of the decrypted
+ plaintext. A KINK implementation MUST be prepared to ignore such
+ padding after the last sub-payload inside the KINK_ENCRYPT payload.
+ Note that each encrypt function has its own integrity protection
+ mechanism. It is redundant with the checksum in the KINK header, but
+ this is unavoidable because it is not always possible to remove the
+ integrity protection part from the encrypt function.
+
+4.2.8. KINK_ERROR Payload
+
+ The KINK_ERROR payload type provides a protocol-level mechanism of
+ returning an error condition. This payload should not be used for
+ either Kerberos-generated errors or DOI-specific errors that have
+ their own payloads defined. The error code is in network order.

+ the initiator MAY retry with the non-User-to-User mode (if it has not
+ yet been tried).
+
+ In general, the responder MAY choose to return these errors in reply
+ to unauthenticated commands, but SHOULD take care to avoid being

+5. Differences from IKE Quick Mode
+
+ KINK directly uses ISAKMP payloads to negotiate SAs. In particular,
+ KINK uses IKE phase 2 payload types (aka Quick Mode). In general,
+ there should be very few changes necessary to an IKE implementation
+ to establish the SAs, and unless there is a note to the contrary in
+ the memo, all capabilities and requirements in [IKE] MUST be
+ supported. IKE phase 1 payloads MUST NOT be sent.
+
+ Unlike IKE, KINK defines specific commands for creation, deletion,
+ and status of SAs, mainly to facilitate predictable SA
+ creation/deletion (see sections 3.2 and 3.3). As such, KINK places
+ certain restrictions on what payloads may be sent with which
+ commands, and some additional restrictions and semantics of some of
+ the payloads. Implementors should refer to [IKE] and [ISAKMP] for
+ the actual format and semantics. If a particular IKE phase 2 payload
+ is not mentioned here, it means that there are no differences in its
+ use.
+
+
+ o The Security Association Payload header for IP is defined in
+ section 4.6.1 of [IPDOI]. For this memo, the Domain of
+ Interpretation MUST be set to 1 (IPsec) and the Situation
+ bitmap MUST be set to 1 (SIT_IDENTITY_ONLY). All other fields
+ are omitted (because SIT_IDENTITY_ONLY is set).
+
+ o KINK also expands the semantics of IKE in that it defines an
+ optimistic proposal for CREATE commands to allow SA creation to
+ complete in two messages.
+
+ o IKE Quick Mode (phase 2) uses the hash algorithm used in main
+ mode (phase 1) to generate the keying material. For this
+ purpose, KINK MUST use a pseudo-random function determined by
+ the etype of the session key.
+
+ o KINK does not use the HASH payload at all.
+
+ o KINK allows the Nonce payload Nr to be optional to facilitate
+ optimistic keying.

+
+
+5.1. Security Association Payloads
+
+ KINK supports the following SA attributes from [IPDOI]:
+
+ class value type
+ -------------------------------------------------
+ SA Life Type 1 B
+ SA Life Duration 2 V
+ Encapsulation Mode 4 B
+ Authentication Algorithm 5 B
+ Key Length 6 B
+ Key Rounds 7 B
+
+ Refer to [IPDOI] for the actual definitions of these attributes.
+
+5.2. Proposal and Transform Payloads
+
+ KINK directly uses the Proposal and Transform payloads with no
+ differences. KINK, however, places additional relevance to the first
+ proposal and first transform of each conjugate for optimistic keying.
+
+5.3. Identification Payloads
+
+ The Identification payload carries information that is used to
+ identify the traffic that is to be protected by the SA that will be
+ established. KINK restricts the ID types, which are defined in
+ section 4.6.2.1 of [IPDOI], to the following values:
+
+ ID Type Value
+ ------- -----
+ ID_IPV4_ADDR 1
+ ID_IPV4_ADDR_SUBNET 4
+ ID_IPV6_ADDR 5
+ ID_IPV6_ADDR_SUBNET 6
+ ID_IPV4_ADDR_RANGE 7
+ ID_IPV6_ADDR_RANGE 8
+
+5.4. Nonce Payloads
+
+ The Nonce payload contains random data that MUST be used in key
+ generation. It MUST be sent by the initiating KINK peer, and MAY be
+ sent by the responding KINK peer. See section 7 for the discussion
+ of its use in key generation.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Sakane, et al. Standards Track [Page 26]
+
+RFC 4430 KINK March 2006
+
+
+5.5. Notify Payloads
+
+ Notify payloads are used to transmit several informational data, such
+ as error conditions and state transitions to a peer. For example,
+ notification information transmit can be error messages specifying
+ why an SA could not be established. It can also be status data that
+ a process managing an SA database wishes to communicate with a peer
+ process.
+
+ Types in the range 0 - 16383 are intended for reporting errors
+ [ISAKMP]. An implementation receiving a type in this range that it
+ does not recognize in a response MUST assume that the corresponding
+ request has failed entirely. Unrecognized error types in a request
+ and status types in a request or response MUST be ignored, and they
+ SHOULD be logged. Notify payloads with status types MAY be added to
+ any message and MUST be ignored if not recognized. They are intended
+ to indicate capabilities, and as part of SA negotiation are used to
+ negotiate non-cryptographic parameters.
+
+ The table below lists the Notification messages and their
+ corresponding values. PAYLOAD-MALFORMED denotes some error types
+ defined by [ISAKMP]. Hence INVALID-PROTOCOL-ID, for example, is not
+ used in this document. INVALID-MAJOR-VERSION and INVALID-MINOR-
+ VERSION are not used because KINK_BADQMVERS is used to tell the
+ initiator that the version of IKE is not supported.
+
+ NOTIFY MESSAGES - ERROR TYPES Value
+ ----------------------------- -----
+ INVALID-PAYLOAD-TYPE 1
+
+ Sent if the ISAKMP payload type is not recognized. It is also
+ sent when the KE payload is not supported by the responder.
+ Notification Data MUST contains the one-octet payload type.
+
+ INVALID-SPI 11
+
+ Sent if the responder has an SPI indicated by the initiator in
+ case of CREATE flow, or if the responder does not have an SPI
+ indicated by the initiator in case of DELETE flow.
+
+ NO-PROPOSAL-CHOSEN 14
+
+ Sent if none of the proposals in the SA payload was
+ acceptable.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Sakane, et al. Standards Track [Page 27]
+
+RFC 4430 KINK March 2006
+
+
+ PAYLOAD-MALFORMED 16
+
+ Sent if the KINK_ISAKMP payload received was invalid because
+ some type, length, or value was out of range. It is also sent
+ when the request was rejected for reason that was not matched
+ with other error types.
+
+5.6. Delete Payloads
+
+ KINK directly uses ISAKMP Delete payloads with no changes.
+
+5.7. KE Payloads
+
+ IKE requires that perfect forward secrecy (PFS) be supported through
+ the use of the KE payload. KINK retains the ability to use PFS, but
+ relaxes the requirement from must implement to SHOULD implement. The
+ reasons are described in the Security Considerations section.
+
+6. Message Construction and Constraints for IPsec DOI
+
+ All commands, responses, and acknowledgements are bound together by
+ the XID field of the message header. The XID is normally a
+ monotonically incrementing field, and is used by the initiator to
+ differentiate between outstanding requests to a responder. The XID
+ field does not provide replay protection as that functionality is
+ provided by the Kerberos mechanisms. In addition, commands and
+ responses MUST use a cryptographic checksum over the entire message
+ if the two peers share a key via a ticket exchange.
+
+ In all cases in this section, if a message contains a KINK_AP_REQ or
+ KINK_AP_REP payload, other KINK payloads MAY be encapsulated in a
+ KINK_ENCRYPT payload.
+
+6.1. REPLY Message
+
+ The REPLY message is a generic reply that MUST contain either a
+ KINK_AP_REP, a KINK_KRB_ERROR, or a KINK_ERROR payload. REPLY
+ messages MAY contain additional DOI-specific payloads such as ISAKMP
+ payloads that are defined in the following sections.
+
+6.2. ACK Message
+
+ ACKs are sent only when the ACKREQ bit is set in a REPLY message. An
+ ACK message MUST contain an AP-REQ payload and no other payload.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Sakane, et al. Standards Track [Page 28]
+
+RFC 4430 KINK March 2006
+
+
+6.3. CREATE Message
+
+ This message initiates an establishment of new security
+ association(s). The CREATE message must contain an AP-REQ payload
+ and any DOI-specific payloads.
+
+ CREATE KINK Header
+ KINK_AP_REQ
+ [KINK_ENCRYPT]
+ KINK_ISAKMP payloads
+ SA Payload
+ Proposal Payloads
+ Transform Payloads
+ Nonce Payload (Ni)
+ [KE]
+ [IDci, IDcr]
+ [Notification Payloads]
+
+ Replies are of the following forms:
+
+ REPLY KINK Header
+ KINK_AP_REP
+ [KINK_ENCRYPT]
+ KINK_ISAKMP payloads
+ SA Payload
+ Proposal Payloads
+ Transform Payload
+ [Nonce Payload (Nr)]
+ [KE]
+ [IDci, IDcr]
+ [Notification Payloads]
+
+ Note that there MUST be at least a single proposal payload and a
+ single transform payload in REPLY messages. There will be multiple
+ proposal payloads only when an SA bundle is negotiated. Also: unlike
+ IKE, the Nonce payload Nr is not required, and if it exists, an
+ acknowledgement must be requested to indicate that the initiator's
+ outgoing SAs must be modified. If any of the first proposals are not
+ chosen by the recipient, it SHOULD include the Nonce payload.
+
+ KINK, like IKE, allows the creation of many SAs in one create
+ command. If any of the optimistic proposals are not chosen by the
+ responder, it MUST request an ACK.
+
+ If an IPsec DOI-specific error is encountered, the responder must
+ reply with a Notify payload describing the error:
+
+
+
+
+
+Sakane, et al. Standards Track [Page 29]
+
+RFC 4430 KINK March 2006
+
+
+ REPLY KINK Header
+ KINK_AP_REP
+ [KINK_ENCRYPT]
+ [KINK_ERROR]
+ KINK_ISAKMP payloads
+ [Notification Payloads]
+
+ If the responder finds a Kerberos error for which it can produce a
+ valid authenticator, the REPLY takes the following form:
+
+ REPLY KINK Header
+ KINK_AP_REP
+ [KINK_ENCRYPT]
+ KINK_KRB_ERROR
+
+ Finally, if the responder finds a Kerberos or KINK type of error for
+ which it cannot create an AP-REP, it MUST reply with a lone
+ KINK_KRB_ERROR or KINK_ERROR payload:
+
+ REPLY KINK Header
+ [KINK_KRB_ERROR]
+ [KINK_ERROR]
+
+6.4. DELETE Message
+
+ This message indicates that the sending peer has deleted or will
+ shortly delete Security Association(s) with the other peer.
+
+ DELETE KINK Header
+ KINK_AP_REQ
+ [KINK_ENCRYPT]
+ KINK_ISAKMP payloads
+ Delete Payloads
+ [Notification Payloads]
+
+ There are three forms of replies for a DELETE. The normal form is:
+
+ REPLY KINK Header
+ KINK_AP_REP
+ [KINK_ENCRYPT]
+ [KINK_ERROR]
+ KINK_ISAKMP payloads
+ Delete Payloads
+ [Notification Payloads]
+
+ If an IPsec DOI-specific error is encountered, the responder must
+ reply with a Notify payload describing the error:
+
+
+
+
+Sakane, et al. Standards Track [Page 30]
+
+RFC 4430 KINK March 2006
+
+
+ REPLY KINK Header
+ KINK_AP_REP
+ [KINK_ENCRYPT]
+ [KINK_ERROR]
+ KINK_ISAKMP payloads
+ [Notification Payloads]
+
+ If the responder finds a Kerberos error for which it can produce a
+ valid authenticator, the REPLY takes the following form:
+
+ REPLY KINK Header
+ KINK_AP_REP
+ [KINK_ENCRYPT]
+ KINK_KRB_ERROR
+
+ If the responder finds a KINK or Kerberos type of error, it MUST
+ reply with a lone KINK_KRB_ERROR or KINK_ERROR payload:
+
+ REPLY KINK Header
+ [KINK_KRB_ERROR]
+ [KINK_ERROR]
+
+6.5. STATUS Message
+
+ The STATUS command is used in two ways:
+
+ 1) As a means to relay an ISAKMP Notification message.
+
+ 2) As a means of probing a peer whether its epoch has changed for
+ dead peer detection.
+
+ STATUS contains the following payloads:
+ KINK Header
+ KINK_AP_REQ
+ [[KINK_ENCRYPT]
+ KINK_ISAKMP payload
+ [Notification Payloads]]
+
+ There are three forms of replies for a STATUS. The normal form is:
+
+ REPLY KINK Header
+ KINK_AP_REP
+ [[KINK_ENCRYPT]
+ [KINK_ERROR]
+ KINK_ISAKMP payload
+ [Notification Payloads]]
+
+
+
+
+
+Sakane, et al. Standards Track [Page 31]
+
+RFC 4430 KINK March 2006
+
+
+ If the responder finds a Kerberos error for which it can produce a
+ valid authenticator, the REPLY takes the following form:
+
+ REPLY KINK Header
+ KINK_AP_REP
+ [KINK_ENCRYPT]
+ KINK_KRB_ERROR
+
+ If the responder finds a KINK or Kerberos type of error, it MUST
+ reply with a lone KINK_KRB_ERROR or KINK_ERROR payload:
+
+ REPLY KINK Header
+ [KINK_KRB_ERROR]
+ [KINK_ERROR]
+
+6.6. GETTGT Message
+
+ A GETTGT command is only used to carry a Kerberos TGT and is not
+ related to SA management; therefore, it contains only KINK_TGT_REQ
+ payload and does not contain any DOI-specific payload.
+
+ There are two forms of replies for a GETTGT. In the normal form,
+ where the responder is allowed to return its TGT, the REPLY contains
+ KINK_TGT_REP payload. If the responder is not allowed to return its
+ TGT, it MUST reply with a KINK_ERROR payload.
+
+7. ISAKMP Key Derivation
+
+ KINK uses the same key derivation mechanisms defined in section 5.5
+ of [IKE], which is:
+
+ KEYMAT = prf(SKEYID_d, [g(qm)^xy |] protocol | SPI | Ni_b [| Nr_b])
+
+ The following differences apply:
+
+ o prf is the pseudo-random function corresponding to the session
+ key's etype. They are defined in [KCRYPTO].
+
+ o SKEYID_d is the session key in the Kerberos service ticket
+ from the AP-REQ. Note that subkeys are not used in KINK and
+ MUST be ignored if received.
+
+ o Both Ni_b and Nr_b are the part of the Nonce payloads (Ni and
+ Nr, respectively) as described in section 3.2 of [IKE]. Nr_b
+ is optional, which means that Nr_b is treated as if a zero
+ length value was supplied when the responder's nonce (Nr) does
+ not exist. When Nr exists, Nr_b MUST be included in the
+ calculation.
+
+
+
+Sakane, et al. Standards Track [Page 32]
+
+RFC 4430 KINK March 2006
+
+
+ Note that g(qm)^xy refers to the keying material generated when KE
+ payloads are supplied using Diffie-Hellman key agreement. This is
+ explained in section 5.5 of [IKE].
+
+ The rest of the key derivation (e.g., how to expand KEYMAT) follows
+ IKE. How to use derived keying materials is up to each service
+ (e.g., section 4.5.2 of [IPSEC]).
+
+8. Key Usage Numbers for Kerberos Key Derivation
+
+ Kerberos encrypt/decrypt functions and get_mic/verify_mic functions
+ require "key usage numbers". They are used to generate specific keys
+ for cryptographic operations so that different keys are used for
+ different purposes/objects. KINK uses two usage numbers, listed
+ below.
+
+ Purpose Usage number
+ ------- ------------
+ KINK_ENCRYPT payload (for encryption) 39
+ Cksum field (for checksum) 40
+
+9. Transport Considerations
+
+ KINK uses UDP on port 910 to transport its messages. There is one
+ timer T which SHOULD take into consideration round-trip
+ considerations and MUST implement a truncated exponential back-off
+ mechanism. The state machine is simple: any message that expects a
+ response MUST retransmit the request using timer T. Since Kerberos
+ requires that messages be retransmitted with new times for replay
+ protection, the message MUST be re-created each time including the
+ checksum of the message. Both commands and replies with the ACKREQ
+ bit set are kept on retransmit timers. When a KINK initiator
+ receives a REPLY with the ACKREQ bit set, it MUST retain the ability
+ to regenerate the ACK message for the transaction for a minimum of
+ its full retransmission timeout cycle or until it notices that
+ packets have arrived on the newly constructed SA, whichever comes
+ first.
+
+ When a KINK peer retransmits a message, it MUST create a new Kerberos
+ authenticator for the AP-REQ so that the peer can differentiate
+ between replays and dropped packets. This results in a potential
+ race condition when a retransmission occurs before an in-flight reply
+ is received/processed. To counter this race condition, the
+ retransmitting party SHOULD keep a list of valid authenticators that
+ are outstanding for any particular transaction.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Sakane, et al. Standards Track [Page 33]
+
+RFC 4430 KINK March 2006
+
+
+ When a KINK peer retransmits a command, it MUST use the same ticket
+ within the retransmissions. This is to avoid race conditions on
+ using different keys, which result in different KEYMATs between an
+ initiator and a responder. For this reason, (1) an initiator MUST
+ obtain a ticket whose lifetime is greater than the initiator's
+ maximum transaction time including timeouts, or (2) it MUST continue
+ to use the same ticket within a set of retransmissions, and iff it
+ receives an error (most likely KRB_AP_ERR_TKT_EXPIRED) from the
+ responder, it starts a new transaction with a new ticket.
+
+10. Security Considerations
+
+ The principal names are the identities of the KINK services, but the
+ traffic protected by SAs are identified by DOI-specific selectors (IP
+ addresses, port numbers, etc.). This may lead to a breakaway of
+ SA-protected data from authentication. For example, if two different
+ hosts claim that they have the same IP address, it may be impossible
+ to predict which principal's key protects the data. Thus, an
+ implementation must take care for the binding between principal names
+ and the SA selectors.
+
+ Sending errors without cryptographic protection must be handled very
+ carefully. There is a trade-off between wanting to be helpful in
+ diagnosing a problem and wanting to avoid being a dupe in a denial of
+ service attack.
+
+ KINK cobbles together and reuses many parts of both Kerberos and IKE,
+ the latter which in turn is cobbled together from many other memos.
+ As such, KINK inherits many of the weaknesses and considerations of
+ each of its components. However, KINK uses only IKE phase 2 payloads
+ to create and delete SAs; the security considerations which pertain
+ to IKE phase 1 may be safely ignored. However, being able to ignore
+ IKE's authentication phase necessarily means that KINK inherits all
+ of the security considerations of Kerberos authentication as outlined
+ in [KERBEROS]. For one, a KDC, like an Authentication,
+ Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) server, is a point of attack and
+ all that implies. Much has been written about various shortcomings
+ and mitigations of Kerberos, and they should be evaluated for any
+ deployment.
+
+ KINK's use of Kerberos presents a couple of considerations. First,
+ KINK explicitly expects that the KDC will provide adequate entropy
+ when it generates session keys. Second, Kerberos is used as a user
+ authentication protocol with the possibility of dictionary attacks on
+ user passwords. This memo does not describe a particular method to
+ avoid these pitfalls, but recommends that suitable randomly generated
+
+
+
+
+
+Sakane, et al. Standards Track [Page 34]
+
+RFC 4430 KINK March 2006
+
+
+ keys should be used for the service principals such as using the
+ -randomkey option with MIT's "kadmin addprinc" command as well as for
+ clients when that is practical.
+
+ Kerberos does not currently provide perfect forward secrecy in
+ general. KINK with the KE payload can provide PFS for a service key
+ from a Kerberos key, but the KE is not mandatory because of the
+ computational cost. This is a trade-off and operators can choose the
+ PFS over the cost, and vice versa. KINK itself should be secure from
+ offline analysis from compromised principal passphrases if PFS is
+ used, but from an overall system's standpoint, the existence of other
+ Kerberized services that do not provide PFS makes this a less than
+ optimal situation.
+
+11. IANA Considerations
+
+ The IANA has assigned a well-known port number for KINK.
+
+ The IANA has created a new registry for KINK parameters, and has
+ registered the following identifiers.
+
+ KINK Message Types (section 4)
+ KINK Next Payload Types (section 4.2)
+ KINK Error Codes (section 4.2.8)
+
+ Changes and additions to this registry follow the policies described
+ below. Their meanings are described in [BCP26].
+
+ o Using the numbers in the "Private Use" range is Private Use.
+
+ o Assignment from the "RESERVED TO IANA" range needs Standards
+ Action, or non-standards-track RFCs with Expert Review.
+ (Though the full specification may be a public and permanent
+ document of a standards body other than IETF, an RFC referring
+ it is needed.)
+
+ o Other change requires Standards Action.
+
+12. Forward Compatibility Considerations
+
+ KINK can accommodate future versions of Quick Mode through the use of
+ the version field in the ISAKMP payload as well as new domains of
+ interpretation. In this memo, the only supported Quick Mode version
+ is 1.0, which corresponds to [IKE]. Likewise, the only DOI supported
+ is the IPsec domain of interpretation [IPDOI]. New Quick Mode
+ versions and DOIs MUST be described in subsequent memos.
+
+
+
+
+
+Sakane, et al. Standards Track [Page 35]
+
+RFC 4430 KINK March 2006
+
+
+ KINK implementations MUST reject ISAKMP versions that are greater
+ than the highest currently supported version with a KINK_BADQMVERS
+ error type. A KINK implementation that receives a KINK_BADQMVERS
+ message SHOULD be capable of reverting back to version 1.0.
+
+12.1. New Versions of Quick Mode
+
+ The IPsec working group is defining the next-generation IKE protocol
+ [IKEv2], which does not use Quick Mode, but it is similar to the one
+ in IKEv1. The difference between the two is summarized in Appendix A
+ of [IKEv2]. Each of them must be considered in order to use IKEv2
+ with KINK.
+
+12.2. New DOI
+
+ The KINK message header contains a field called "Domain of
+ Interpretation (DOI)" to allow other domains of interpretation to use
+ KINK as a secure transport mechanism for keying.
+
+ As one example of a new DOI, the MSEC working group defined the Group
+ Domain of Interpretation [GDOI], which defines a few new messages,
+ which look like ISAKMP messages, but are not defined in ISAKMP.
+
+ In order to carry GDOI messages in KINK, the DOI field in the KINK
+ header would indicate that GDOI is being used, instead of IPSEC-DOI,
+ and the KINK_ISAKMP payload would contain the payloads defined in the
+ GDOI document rather than the payloads used by [IKE] Quick Mode. The
+ version number in the KINK_ISAKMP header is related to the DOI in the
+ KINK header, so a maj.min version 1.0 under DOI GDOI is different
+ from a maj.min version 1.0 under DOI IPSEC-DOI.
+
+13. Related Work
+
+ The IPsec working group has defined a number of protocols that
+ provide the ability to create and maintain cryptographically secure
+ SAs at layer three (i.e., the IP layer). This effort has produced
+ two distinct protocols:
+
+ o a mechanism for encrypting and authenticating IP datagram
+ payloads that assumes a shared secret between the sender and
+ receiver
+
+ o a mechanism for IPsec peers to perform mutual authentication
+ and exchange keying material
+
+ The IPsec working group has defined a peer-to-peer authentication and
+ keying mechanism, IKE (RFC 2409). One of the drawbacks of a peer-
+ to-peer protocol is that each peer must know and implement a site's
+
+
+
+Sakane, et al. Standards Track [Page 36]
+
+RFC 4430 KINK March 2006
+
+
+ security policy, which in practice can be quite complex. In
+ addition, the peer-to-peer nature of IKE requires the use of Diffie-
+ Hellman (DH) to establish a shared secret. DH, unfortunately, is
+ computationally quite expensive and prone to denial of service
+ attacks. IKE also relies on X.509 certificates to realize scalable
+ authentication of peers. Digital signatures are also computationally
+ expensive, and certificate-based trust models are difficult to deploy
+ in practice. While IKE does allow for a pre-shared key, key
+ distribution is required between all peers -- an O(n^2) problem --
+ which is problematic for large deployments.
+
+14. Acknowledgements
+
+ Many have contributed to the KINK effort, including our working group
+ chairs Derek Atkins and Jonathan Trostle. The original inspiration
+ came from CableLab's PacketCable effort, which defined a simplified
+ version of Kerberized IPsec, including Sasha Medvinsky, Mike Froh,
+ and Matt Hur and David McGrew. The inspiration for wholly reusing
+ IKE phase 2 is the result of Tero Kivinen's document suggesting
+ grafting Kerberos authentication onto Quick Mode.
