Introduction + + The main scenario that motivated this document is a VPN end user + establishing a VPN with a Security Gateway when at least one of the + peers has multiple interfaces. Figure 1 represents the case when the + VPN end user has multiple interfaces, Figure 2 represents the case + when the Security Gateway has multiple interfaces, and Figure 3 + represents the case when both the VPN end user and the Security + Gateway have multiple interfaces. With Figure 1 and Figure 2, one of + the peers has n = 2 interfaces and the other has a single interface. + This results in the creation of up to n = 2 VPNs. With Figure 3, the + VPN end user has n = 2 interfaces and the Security Gateway has m = 2 + interfaces. This may lead to up to m x n VPNs. + + +------------+ +------------+ + | | Interface_0 : VPN_0 | | + | ================= | | + | VPN | v | Security | + | End User | ================== Gateway | + | ================^ | | + | | Interface_1 : VPN_1 | | + +------------+ +------------+ + + Figure 1: VPN End User with Multiple Interfaces + + +------------+ +------------+ + | | Interface_0 : VPN_0 | | + | | ================== | + | VPN | v | Security | + | End User ================= | Gateway | + | | ^================= | + | | Interface_1 : VPN_1 | | + +------------+ +------------+ + + Figure 2: Security Gateway with Multiple Interfaces + + +------------+ +------------+ + | | Interface_0 Interface_0' | | + | ================================== | + | VPN | \\ // | Security | + | End User | // \\ | Gateway | + | ================================== | + | | Interface_1 Interface_1' | | + +------------+ +------------+ + + Figure 3: VPN End User and Security Gateway with Multiple Interfaces + + + + + +Migault & Smyslov Standards Track [Page 3] + +RFC 7791 Cloning IKE SA March 2016 + + + With the current IKEv2 protocol [RFC7296], each VPN requires an IKE + SA, and setting an IKE SA requires an authentication. Authentication + might require multiple round trips and an activity from the end user + (like EAP-SIM [RFC4186] or EAP-TLS [RFC5216]) as well as crypto + operations that would introduce an additional delay. + + Another scenario is a load-balancing solution. Load-sharing clusters + are often built to be transparent for VPN end users. In the case of + IPsec, this means that IKE and IPsec SA states are duplicated on + every cluster node where the load balancer can redirect packets. The + drawback of such an approach is that anti-replay related data (in + particular, Sequence Number) must be reliably synchronized between + participating nodes per every outgoing Authentication Header (AH) or + Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) packet, which makes building + high-speed systems problematic. Another approach for building load- + balancing systems is to make VPN end users aware of them, which + allows for having two or more Security Gateways sharing the same ID, + but each having its own IP address. In this case, the VPN end user + first establishes an IKE SA with one of these gateways. Then, at + some point of time the gateway makes a decision to move the client to + a different cluster node. This can be done with Redirect Mechanism + for IKEv2 [RFC5685]. The drawback of such an approach is that it + requires a new IKE SA to be established from scratch, including full + authentication. In some cases, this could be avoided by using IKEv2 + Session Resumption [RFC5723] with a new gateway. However, this + requires the VPN end user to know beforehand which new gateway to + connect to. So, it is desirable to be able to clone the existing IKE + SA, move it to a different Security Gateway, and then indicate to the + VPN end user to use this new SA. This would allow participating + Security Gateways to share the load between them. + + This document introduces the possibility of cloning the IKE SA in the + Internet Key Exchange Protocol Version 2 (IKEv2). The main idea is + that the peer with multiple interfaces sets the first IKE SA as + usual. Then it takes advantage of the fact that this SA is completed + and derives as many new parallel IKE SAs from it as the desired + number of VPNs. On each IKE SA a VPN is negotiated by creating one + or more IPsec SAs. This results in coexisting parallel VPNs. Then + the VPN end user moves each IPsec SA to its proper location using the + IKEv2 Mobility and Multihoming Protocol (MOBIKE) [RFC4555]. + Alternatively, the VPN end user may first move the IKE SAs and then + create the IPsec SAs. + + Note that it is up to the host's local policy to decide which + additional VPNs to create and when to do it. The process of + selecting address pairs for migration is a local matter. + + + + + +Migault & Smyslov Standards Track [Page 4] + +RFC 7791 Cloning IKE SA March 2016 + + + Furthermore, in the case of multiple interfaces on both ends, care + should be taken to avoid the VPNs being duplicated by both ends or + moved to both interfaces. + + In addition, multiple MOBIKE operations may be involved from the + Security Gateway or the VPN end user. Suppose, as depicted in + Figure 3 for example, that the cloned VPN is between Interface _0 and + Interface_0', and the VPN end user and the Security Gateway want to + move it to Interface_1 and Interface_1'. The VPN end user may + initiate a MOBIKE exchange in order to move it to Interface_1, in + which case the cloned VPN is now between Interface_1 and + Interface_0'. Then the Security Gateway may also initiate a MOBIKE + exchange in order to move the VPN to Interface_1', in which case the + VPN has reached its final destination. + + The combination of the IKE SA cloning with MOBIKE protocol provides + IPsec communications with multiple interfaces the following + advantages. First, cloning the IKE SA requires very few + modifications to already existing IKEv2 implementations. Then, it + takes advantage of the already existing and widely deployed MOBIKE + protocol. Finally, it keeps a dedicated IKE SA for each VPN, which + simplifies reachability tests and VPN maintenance. + + Note also that the cloning of the IKE SA is independent from MOBIKE + and can also address other future scenarios not described in the + current document. + +2. Requirements Notation + + 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]. + +3. Terminology + + This section defines terms and acronyms used in this document. + + - VPN: Virtual Private Network -- one or more Child (IPsec) SAs + created in tunnel mode between two peers. + + - VPN End User: designates the end user that initiates the VPN with + a Security Gateway. This end user may be mobile and move its + VPN from one Security Gateway to another. + + + + + + + + +Migault & Smyslov Standards Track [Page 5] + +RFC 7791 Cloning IKE SA March 2016 + + + - Security Gateway: designates a point of attachment for the VPN + service. In this document, the VPN service is provided by + multiple Security Gateways. Each Security Gateway may be + considered as a specific hardware. + + - IKE SA: IKE Security Association as defined in [RFC7296]. + +4. Protocol Overview + + This document specifies how to clone existing IKE SAs without + performing new authentication. In order to achieve this goal, this + document proposes that the two peers agree upon their ability to + clone the IKE SA. This is done during the IKE_AUTH exchange by + exchanging the CLONE_IKE_SA_SUPPORTED notifications. To create a new + parallel IKE SA, one of the peers initiates a CREATE_CHILD_SA + exchange as if it would rekey the existing IKE SA. In order to + indicate that the current IKE SA must not be deleted, the initiator + includes the CLONE_IKE_SA notification in the CREATE_CHILD_SA + exchange. This results in two parallel IKE SAs. + + Note that without the CLONE_IKE_SA notification, the old IKE SA would + be deleted after the rekey is successfully completed (as specified in + Section 2.8 of [RFC7296]. + +5. Protocol Details + +5.1. Support Negotiation + + The initiator and the responder indicate their support for cloning + IKE SA by exchanging the CLONE_IKE SA_SUPPORTED notifications. This + notification MUST be sent in the IKE_AUTH exchange (in case of + multiple IKE_AUTH exchanges -- in the first IKE_AUTH message from + initiator and in the last IKE_AUTH message from responder). If both + initiator and responder send this notification during the IKE_AUTH + exchange, peers may clone this IKE SA. In the other case, the IKE SA + MUST NOT be cloned. + + Initiator Responder + ------------------------------------------------------------------- + HDR, SA, KEi, Ni --> + <-- HDR, SA, KEr, Nr + HDR, SK {IDi, AUTH, + SA, TSi, TSr, + N(CLONE_IKE_SA_SUPPORTED)} --> + <-- HDR, SK {IDr, AUTH, + SA, TSi, TSr, + N(CLONE_IKE_SA_SUPPORTED)} + + + + +Migault & Smyslov Standards Track [Page 6] + +RFC 7791 Cloning IKE SA March 2016 + + +5.2. Cloning the IKE SA + + The initiator of the rekey exchange includes the CLONE_IKE_SA + notification in a CREATE_CHILD_SA request for rekeying the IKE SA. + The CLONE_IKE_SA notification indicates that the current IKE SA will + not be immediately deleted once the new IKE SA is created. Instead, + two parallel IKE SAs are expected to coexist. The current IKE SA + becomes the old IKE SA and the newly negotiated IKE SA becomes the + new IKE SA. The CLONE_IKE_SA notification MUST appear only in the + request message of the CREATE_CHILD_SA exchange concerning the IKE SA + rekey. If the CLONE_IKE_SA notification appears in any other + message, it MUST be ignored. + + Initiator Responder + ------------------------------------------------------------------- + HDR, SK {N(CLONE_IKE_SA), SA, Ni, KEi} --> + + If the CREATE_CHILD_SA request is concerned with an IKE SA rekey and + contains the CLONE_IKE_SA notification, the responder proceeds to the + IKE SA rekey, creates the new IKE SA, and keeps the old IKE SA. No + additional Notify Payloads are included in the CREATE_CHILD_SA + response as represented below: + + <-- HDR, SK {SA, Nr, KEr} + + When the IKE SA is cloned, peers MUST NOT transfer existing Child SAs + that were created by the old IKE SA to the newly created IKE SA. So, + all signaling messages concerning those Child SAs would continue to + be sent over the old IKE SA. This is different from the regular IKE + SA rekey in IKEv2. + +5.3. Error Handling + + There may be conditions when the responder for some reason is unable + or unwilling to clone the IKE SA. This inability may be temporary or + permanent. + + Temporary inability occurs when the responder doesn't have enough + resources at the moment to clone an IKE SA or when the IKE SA is + being deleted by the responder. In this case, the responder SHOULD + reject the request to clone the IKE SA with the TEMPORARY_FAILURE + notification. + + <-- HDR, SK {N(TEMPORARY_FAILURE)} + + After receiving this notification, the initiator MAY retry its + request after waiting some period of time. See Section 2.25 of + [RFC7296] for details. + + + +Migault & Smyslov Standards Track [Page 7] + +RFC 7791 Cloning IKE SA March 2016 + + + In some cases, the responder may have restrictions on the number of + coexisting IKE SAs with one peer. These restrictions may be either + implicit (some devices may have enough resources to handle only a few + IKE SAs) or explicit (provided by some configuration parameter). If + the initiator wants to clone more IKE SAs than the responder is able + or is configured to handle, the responder SHOULD reject the request + with the NO_ADDITIONAL_SAS notification. + + <-- HDR, SK {N(NO_ADDITIONAL_SAS)} + + This condition is considered permanent and the initiator SHOULD NOT + retry cloning an IKE SA until some of the existing SAs with the + responder are deleted. + +6. Payload Description + + Figure 4 illustrates the Notify Payload packet format as described in + Section 3.10 of [RFC7296]. This format is used for both the + CLONE_IKE_SA and the CLONE_IKE_SA_SUPPORTED notifications. + + The CLONE_IKE_SA_SUPPORTED notification is used in an IKEv2 exchange + of type IKE_AUTH and the CLONE_IKE_SA is used in an IKEv2 exchange of + type CREATE_CHILD_SA. + + 1 2 3 + 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | Next Payload |C| RESERVED | Payload Length | + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | Protocol ID | SPI Size | Notify Message Type | + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + + Figure 4: Notify Payload + + The fields Next Payload, Critical Bit, RESERVED, and Payload Length + are defined in [RFC7296].

Security Considerations + + The protocol defined in this document does not modify IKEv2. + Security considerations for cloning an IKE SA are mostly the same as + those for the base IKEv2 protocol described in [RFC7296]. + + Cloning an IKE SA allows an initiator to duplicate existing SAs. As + a result, it may influence any accounting or control mechanisms based + on a single IKE SA per authentication. + + Suppose a system has a limit on the number of IKE SAs it can handle. + In this case, cloning an IKE SA may provide a way for resource + exhaustion, as a single end user may populate multiple IKE SAs. + + Suppose a system shares the IPsec resources by limiting the number of + Child SAs per IKE SA. With a single IKE SA per end user, this + provides an equal resource sharing. In this case, cloning the IKE SA + provides the means for an end user to overpass this limit. Such a + system should evaluate the number of Child SAs over the number of all + IKE SAs associated to an end user. + + Note that these issues are not unique to the ability of cloning the + IKE SA, as multiple IKE SAs between two peers may be created without + involving a cloning method. Note also that implementation can always + limit the number of cloned IKE SAs. + + Suppose the VPN or any other IPsec-based service monitoring is based + on the liveliness of the first IKE SA. Such a system considers a + service is accessed or used from the time IKE performs an + authentication to the time the IKE SA is deleted. Such accounting + methods were fine as any IKE SA required an authentication exchange. + As cloning the IKE SA skips the authentication phase, it may make it + possible to delete the initial IKE SA while the service is being used + on the cloned IKE SA. Such accounting methods should consider that + the service is being used from the first IKE SA establishment to + until the last IKE SA is removed. + + + + + +Migault & Smyslov Standards Track [Page 9] + +RFC 7791 Cloning IKE SA March 2016 + + + When this solution is used to build load-balancing systems, then + there is a necessity to transfer IKE SA states between nodes of a + load-sharing cluster. Since IKE SA state contains sensitive + information, such as session keys, implementations must take all due + precautions. Such precautions might include using technical and/or + administrative means to protect IKE SA state data. The details of + what is transferred and how it is protected are out of scope of this + document. + +9. References + +9.1.

Setting a VPN on Multiple Interfaces + + This section is informational and exposes how a VPN end user, as + illustrated in Figure 1, can build two VPNs on its two interfaces + without multiple authentications. Other cases represented in + Figure 2 and Figure 3 are similar and can be easily derived from this + case. The mechanism is based on cloning the IKE SA and the MOBIKE + extension [RFC4555]. + +A.1. Setting VPN_0 + + First, the VPN end user negotiates a VPN using one interface. This + involves regular IKEv2 exchanges. In addition, the VPN end user and + the Security Gateway advertise their support for MOBIKE. At the end + of the IKE_AUTH exchange, VPN_0 is set as represented in Figure 5. + + +------------+ +------------+ + | | Interface_0 : VPN_0 | | + | ================= | | + | VPN | v | Security | + | End User | ================== Gateway | + | = | | + | | Interface_1 | | + +------------+ +------------+ + + Figure 5: VPN End User Establishing VPN_0 + + The exchanges are completely described in [RFC7296] and [RFC4555]. + First, peers negotiate IKE SA parameters and exchange nonces and + public keys in the IKE_SA_INIT exchange.

Optionally, the initiator and the responder can advertise + their multiple interfaces using the ADDITIONAL_IP4_ADDRESS and/or + ADDITIONAL_IP6_ADDRESS notifications. + + (IP_I0:4500 -> IP_R:4500) + HDR, SK {IDi, AUTH, + SA, TSi, TSr, + N(MOBIKE_SUPPORTED), + [N(ADDITIONAL_IP*_ADDRESS)+,] + N(CLONE_IKE_SA_SUPPORTED)} --> + + <-- (IP_R:4500 -> IP_I0:4500) + HDR, SK {IDr, AUTH, + SA, TSi, TSr, + N(MOBIKE_SUPPORTED), + [N(ADDITIONAL_IP*_ADDRESS)+,] + N(CLONE_IKE_SA_SUPPORTED)} + +A.2. Creating an Additional IKE SA + + In this case, the VPN end user wants to establish an additional VPN + with its Interface_1. The VPN end user will first establish a + parallel IKE SA using a CREATE_CHILD_SA that concerns an IKE SA rekey + associated with a CLONE_IKE_SA notification. This results in two + separate IKE SAs between the VPN end user and the Security Gateway. + Currently both IKE SAs are set using Interface_0 of the VPN end user. + + Initiator Responder + ------------------------------------------------------------------- + (IP_I0:4500 -> IP_R:4500) + HDR, SK {N(CLONE_IKE_SA), + SA, Ni, KEi} --> + <-- (IP_R:4500 -> IP_I0:4500) + HDR, SK {SA, Nr, KEr} + +A.3. Creating the Child SA for VPN_1 + + Once the new IKE SA has been created, the VPN end user can initiate a + CREATE_CHILD_SA exchange that concerns the creation of a Child SA for + VPN_1. The newly created VPN_1 will use Interface_0 of the VPN end + user. + + It is out of scope for this document to define how the VPN end user + handles traffic with multiple interfaces. The VPN end user can use + the same inner IP address on its multiple interfaces. In this case, + the same Traffic Selectors (that is, the IP address used for VPN_0 + and VPN_1) can match for both VPNs VPN_0 and VPN_1. The VPN end user + must be aware of such a match and be able to manage it. It can, for + + + +Migault & Smyslov Standards Track [Page 12] + +RFC 7791 Cloning IKE SA March 2016 + + + example, use distinct Traffic Selectors on both VPNs using different + ports, manage the order of its Security Policy Database (SPD), or + have SPD defined per interfaces. Defining these mechanisms is out of + scope for this document. Alternatively, the VPN end user can use a + different inner IP address for each interface. + + The creation of VPN_1 is performed via the newly created IKE SA as + follows: + + Initiator Responder + ------------------------------------------------------------------- + (IP_I0:4500 -> IP_R:4500) + HDR(new), SK(new) {SA, TSi, TSr} --> + + <-- (IP_R:4500 -> IP_I0:4500) + HDR(new), SK(new) {SA, TSi, TSr} + + The resulting configuration is depicted in Figure 6.
