+1. Introduction
+
+ The benefits of pre-shared symmetric-key vs. public-/private-key pair
+ based authentication for the key exchange in TLS have been explained
+ in the Introduction of [RFC4279]. This document leverages the
+ already defined algorithms for the application of newer, generally
+ regarded stronger, cryptographic primitives and building blocks.
+
+ TLS 1.2 [RFC5246] adds support for authenticated encryption with
+ additional data (AEAD) cipher modes [RFC5116]. This document
+ describes the use of Advanced Encryption Standard [AES] in Galois
+ Counter Mode [GCM] (AES-GCM) with various pre-shared key (PSK)
+ authenticated key exchange mechanisms ([RFC4279] and [RFC4785]) in
+ cipher suites for TLS.
+
+ This document also specifies PSK cipher suites for TLS that replace
+ SHA-1 by SHA-256 or SHA-384 [SHS]. RFC 4279 [RFC4279] and RFC 4785
+ [RFC4785] describe PSK cipher suites for TLS. However, all of the
+ RFC 4279 and the RFC 4785 cipher suites use HMAC-SHA1 as their MAC
+ algorithm. Due to recent analytic work on SHA-1 [Wang05], the IETF
+ is gradually moving away from SHA-1 and towards stronger hash
+ algorithms.
+
+ Related TLS cipher suites with key exchange algorithms that are
+ authenticated using public/private key pairs have recently been
+ specified:
+
+ o RSA-, DSS-, and Diffie-Hellman-based cipher suites in [RFC5288],
+ and
+
+
+
+
+Badra Standards Track [Page 2]
+
+RFC 5487 TLS PSK New MAC and AES-GCM March 2009
+
+
+ o ECC-based cipher suites with SHA-256/384 and AES-GCM in [RFC5289].
+
+ The reader is expected to become familiar with these two memos prior
+ to studying this document.
+
+1.1. Applicability Statement
+
+ The cipher suites defined in Section 3 can be negotiated, whatever
+ the negotiated TLS version is.
+
+ The cipher suites defined in Section 2 can be negotiated in TLS
+ version 1.2 or higher.
+
+ The applicability statement in [RFC4279] applies to this document as
+ well.
+
+1.2. 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].
+
+2. PSK, DHE_PSK, and RSA_PSK Key Exchange Algorithms with AES-GCM
+
+ The following six cipher suites use the new authenticated encryption
+ modes defined in TLS 1.2 with AES in Galois Counter Mode [GCM]. The
+ cipher suites with the DHE_PSK key exchange algorithm
+ (TLS_DHE_PSK_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 and
+ TLS_DHE_PSK_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA348) provide Perfect Forward Secrecy
+ (PFS).
+
+ CipherSuite TLS_PSK_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 = {0x00,0xA8};
+ CipherSuite TLS_PSK_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 = {0x00,0xA9};
+ CipherSuite TLS_DHE_PSK_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 = {0x00,0xAA};
+ CipherSuite TLS_DHE_PSK_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 = {0x00,0xAB};
+ CipherSuite TLS_RSA_PSK_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 = {0x00,0xAC};
+ CipherSuite TLS_RSA_PSK_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 = {0x00,0xAD};
+
+ These cipher suites use authenticated encryption with additional data
+ (AEAD) algorithms, AEAD_AES_128_GCM and AEAD_AES_256_GCM, as
+ described in RFC 5116. GCM is used as described in [RFC5288].
+
+ The PSK, DHE_PSK, and RSA_PSK key exchanges are performed as defined
+ in [RFC4279].
+

+
+RFC 5487 TLS PSK New MAC and AES-GCM March 2009
+
+
+ The Pseudo-Random Function (PRF) algorithms SHALL be as follows:
+
+ o For cipher suites ending with _SHA256, the PRF is the TLS PRF
+ [RFC5246] with SHA-256 as the hash function.
+
+ o For cipher suites ending with _SHA384, the PRF is the TLS PRF
+ [RFC5246] with SHA-384 as the hash function.
+
+ Implementations MUST send a TLS Alert 'bad_record_mac' for all types
+ of failures encountered in processing the AES-GCM algorithm.
+
+3. PSK, DHE_PSK, and RSA_PSK Key Exchange with SHA-256/384
+
+ The first two cipher suites described in each of the following three
+ sections use AES [AES] in Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) mode [MODES]
+ for data confidentiality, whereas the other two cipher suites do not
+ provide data confidentiality; all cipher suites provide integrity
+ protection and authentication using HMAC-based MACs.
+
+3.1. PSK Key Exchange Algorithm with SHA-256/384
+
+ CipherSuite TLS_PSK_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256 = {0x00,0xAE};
+ CipherSuite TLS_PSK_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384 = {0x00,0xAF};
+ CipherSuite TLS_PSK_WITH_NULL_SHA256 = {0x00,0xB0};
+ CipherSuite TLS_PSK_WITH_NULL_SHA384 = {0x00,0xB1};
+
+ The above four cipher suites are the same as the corresponding cipher
+ suites in RFC 4279 and RFC 4785 (with names ending in "_SHA" in place
+ of "_SHA256" or "_SHA384"), except for the hash and PRF algorithms,
+ as explained below.
+
+ o For cipher suites with names ending in "_SHA256":
+
+ * The MAC is HMAC [RFC2104] with SHA-256 as the hash function.
+
+ * When negotiated in a version of TLS prior to 1.2, the PRF from
+ that version is used; otherwise, the PRF is the TLS PRF
+ [RFC5246] with SHA-256 as the hash function.
+
+ o For cipher suites with names ending in "_SHA384":
+
+ * The MAC is HMAC [RFC2104] with SHA-384 as the hash function.
+
+ * When negotiated in a version of TLS prior to 1.2, the PRF from
+ that version is used; otherwise, the PRF is the TLS PRF
+ [RFC5246] with SHA-384 as the hash function.

+
+
+3.2. DHE_PSK Key Exchange Algorithm with SHA-256/384
+
+ CipherSuite TLS_DHE_PSK_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256 = {0x00,0xB2};
+ CipherSuite TLS_DHE_PSK_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384 = {0x00,0xB3};
+ CipherSuite TLS_DHE_PSK_WITH_NULL_SHA256 = {0x00,0xB4};
+ CipherSuite TLS_DHE_PSK_WITH_NULL_SHA384 = {0x00,0xB5};
+
+ The above four cipher suites are the same as the corresponding cipher
+ suites in RFC 4279 and RFC 4785 (with names ending in "_SHA" in place
+ of "_SHA256" or "_SHA384"), except for the hash and PRF algorithms,
+ as explained in Section 3.1.
+
+3.3. RSA_PSK Key Exchange Algorithm with SHA-256/384
+
+ CipherSuite TLS_RSA_PSK_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256 = {0x00,0xB6};
+ CipherSuite TLS_RSA_PSK_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384 = {0x00,0xB7};
+ CipherSuite TLS_RSA_PSK_WITH_NULL_SHA256 = {0x00,0xB8};
+ CipherSuite TLS_RSA_PSK_WITH_NULL_SHA384 = {0x00,0xB9};
+
+ The above four cipher suites are the same as the corresponding cipher
+ suites in RFC 4279 and RFC 4785 (with names ending in "_SHA" in place
+ of "_SHA256" or "_SHA384"), except for the hash and PRF algorithms,
+ as explained in Section 3.1.
+
+4. Security Considerations
+
+ The security considerations in [RFC4279], [RFC4785], and [RFC5288]
+ apply to this document as well. In particular, as authentication-
+ only cipher suites (with no encryption) defined here do not support
+ confidentiality, care should be taken not to send sensitive
+ information (such as passwords) over connections protected with one
+ of the cipher suites with NULL encryption defined in this document.
+
+5. IANA Considerations
+
+ IANA has assigned the following values for the cipher suites defined
+ in this document:
+
+ CipherSuite TLS_PSK_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 = {0x00,0xA8};
+ CipherSuite TLS_PSK_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 = {0x00,0xA9};
+ CipherSuite TLS_DHE_PSK_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 = {0x00,0xAA};
+ CipherSuite TLS_DHE_PSK_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 = {0x00,0xAB};
+ CipherSuite TLS_RSA_PSK_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 = {0x00,0xAC};
+ CipherSuite TLS_RSA_PSK_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 = {0x00,0xAD};
+ CipherSuite TLS_PSK_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256 = {0x00,0xAE};
+ CipherSuite TLS_PSK_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384 = {0x00,0xAF};
+ CipherSuite TLS_PSK_WITH_NULL_SHA256 = {0x00,0xB0};
+ CipherSuite TLS_PSK_WITH_NULL_SHA384 = {0x00,0xB1};
