1. Introduction
The Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP) [RFC3711] is a profile
of the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) [RFC3550], which can
provide confidentiality, message authentication, and replay
protection to the RTP traffic and to the control traffic for RTP, the
Real-time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP). It is important to note
that the outgoing SRTP packets from a single endpoint may be
originating from several independent data sources.
Authenticated Encryption [BN00] is a form of encryption that, in
addition to providing confidentiality for the Plaintext that is
encrypted, provides a way to check its integrity and authenticity.
Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data, or AEAD [R02], adds
the ability to check the integrity and authenticity of some
Associated Data (AD), also called "Additional Authenticated Data"
(AAD), that is not encrypted. This specification makes use of the
interface to a generic AEAD algorithm as defined in [RFC5116].
The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a block cipher that
provides a high level of security and can accept different key sizes.
AES Galois/Counter Mode (AES-GCM) [GCM] is a family of AEAD
algorithms based upon AES. This specification makes use of the AES
versions that use 128-bit and 256-bit keys, which we call "AES-128"
and "AES-256", respectively.
Any AEAD algorithm provides an intrinsic authentication tag. In many
applications, the authentication tag is truncated to less than full
length. In this specification, the authentication tag MUST NOT be
truncated. The authentications tags MUST be a full 16 octets in
length. When used in SRTP/SRTCP, AES-GCM will have two
configurations:
AEAD_AES_128_GCM AES-128 with a 16-octet authentication tag
AEAD_AES_256_GCM AES-256 with a 16-octet authentication tag
McGrew & Igoe Standards Track [Page 3]
^L
RFC 7714 AES-GCM for SRTP December 2015
The key size is set when the session is initiated and SHOULD NOT be
altered.
The Galois/Counter Mode of operation (GCM) is an AEAD mode of
operation for block ciphers. GCM uses Counter Mode to encrypt the
data, an operation that can be efficiently pipelined. Further, GCM
authentication uses operations that are particularly well suited to
efficient implementation in hardware, making it especially appealing
for high-speed implementations, or for implementations in an
efficient and compact circuit.
In summary, this document defines how to use an AEAD algorithm,
particularly AES-GCM, to provide confidentiality and message
authentication within SRTP and SRTCP packets.
2. Conventions Used in This Document
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
[RFC2119].
3. Overview of the SRTP/SRTCP AEAD Security Architecture
SRTP/SRTCP AEAD security is based upon the following principles:
a) Both privacy and authentication are based upon the use of
symmetric algorithms. An AEAD algorithm such as AES-GCM
combines privacy and authentication into a single process.
b) A secret master key is shared by all participating endpoints --
both those originating SRTP/SRTCP packets and those receiving
these packets. Any given master key MAY be used simultaneously
by several endpoints to originate SRTP/SRTCP packets (as well
as one or more endpoints using this master key to process
inbound data).
c) A Key Derivation Function (KDF) is applied to the shared master
key value to form separate encryption keys, authentication
keys, and salting keys for SRTP and for SRTCP (a total of six
keys). This process is described in Section 4.3 of [RFC3711].
The master key MUST be at least as large as the encryption key
derived from it. Since AEAD algorithms such as AES-GCM combine
encryption and authentication into a single process, AEAD
algorithms do not make use of separate authentication keys.
McGrew & Igoe Standards Track [Page 4]
^L
RFC 7714 AES-GCM for SRTP December 2015
d) Aside from making modifications to IANA registries to allow
AES-GCM to work with Security Descriptions (SDES), Datagram
Transport Layer Security for Secure RTP (DTLS-SRTP), and
Multimedia Internet KEYing (MIKEY), the details of how the
master key is established and shared between the participants
are outside the scope of this document. Similarly, any
mechanism for rekeying an existing session is outside the scope
of the document.
e) Each time an instantiation of AES-GCM is invoked to encrypt and
authenticate an SRTP or SRTCP data packet, a new Initialization
Vector (IV) is used. SRTP combines the 4-octet Synchronization
Source (SSRC) identifier, the 4-octet Rollover Counter (ROC),
and the 2-octet Sequence Number (SEQ) with the 12-octet
encryption salt to form a 12-octet IV (see Section 8.1).
SRTCP combines the SSRC and 31-bit SRTCP index with the
encryption salt to form a 12-octet IV (see Section 9.1).
4. Terminology
The following terms have very specific meanings in the context of
this RFC:
Instantiation: In AEAD, an instantiation is an (Encryption_key,
salt) pair together with all of the data structures
(for example, counters) needed for it to function
properly. In SRTP/SRTCP, each endpoint will need
two instantiations of the AEAD algorithm for each
master key in its possession: one instantiation for
SRTP traffic and one instantiation for SRTCP
traffic.
Invocation: SRTP/SRTCP data streams are broken into packets.
Each packet is processed by a single invocation of
the appropriate instantiation of the AEAD
algorithm.
In many applications, each endpoint will have one master key for
processing outbound data but may have one or more separate master
keys for processing inbound data.

5. Generic AEAD Processing
5.1. Types of Input Data
Associated Data: Data that is to be authenticated but not
encrypted.
Plaintext: Data that is to be both encrypted and
authenticated.
Raw Data: Data that is to be neither encrypted nor
authenticated.
Which portions of SRTP/SRTCP packets that are to be treated as
Associated Data, which are to be treated as Plaintext, and which are
to be treated as Raw Data are covered in Sections 8.2, 9.2, and 9.3.
5.2. AEAD Invocation Inputs and Outputs
5.2.1. Encrypt Mode
Inputs:
Encryption_key Octet string, either 16 or
32 octets long
Initialization_Vector Octet string, 12 octets long
Associated_Data Octet string of variable length
Plaintext Octet string of variable length
Outputs:
Ciphertext* Octet string, length =
length(Plaintext) + tag_length
(*): In AEAD, the authentication tag in embedded in the
ciphertext. When GCM is being used, the ciphertext
consists of the encrypted Plaintext followed by the
authentication tag.
McGrew & Igoe Standards Track [Page 6]
^L
RFC 7714 AES-GCM for SRTP December 2015
5.2.2. Decrypt Mode
Inputs:
Encryption_key Octet string, either 16 or
32 octets long
Initialization_Vector Octet string, 12 octets long
Associated_Data Octet string of variable length
Ciphertext Octet string of variable length
Outputs:
Plaintext Octet string, length =
length(Ciphertext) - tag_length
Validity_Flag Boolean, TRUE if valid,
FALSE otherwise
5.3. Handling of AEAD Authentication
AEAD requires that all incoming packets MUST pass AEAD authentication
before any other action takes place. Plaintext and Associated Data
MUST NOT be released until the AEAD authentication tag has been
validated. Further, the ciphertext MUST NOT be decrypted until the
AEAD tag has been validated.
Should the AEAD tag prove to be invalid, the packet in question is to
be discarded and a Validation Error flag raised. Local policy
determines how this flag is to be handled and is outside the scope of
this document.
6. Counter Mode Encryption
Each outbound packet uses a 12-octet IV and an encryption key to form
two outputs:
o a 16-octet first_key_block, which is used in forming the
authentication tag, and
o a keystream of octets, formed in blocks of 16 octets each
McGrew & Igoe Standards Track [Page 7]
^L
RFC 7714 AES-GCM for SRTP December 2015
The first 16-octet block of the key is saved for use in forming the
authentication tag, and the remainder of the keystream is XORed to
the Plaintext to form the cipher. This keystream is formed one block
at a time by inputting the concatenation of a 12-octet IV (see
Sections 8.1 and 9.1) with a 4-octet block to AES. The pseudocode
below illustrates this process:
def GCM_keystream( Plaintext_len, IV, Encryption_key ):
assert Plaintext_len <= (2**36) - 32 ## measured in octets
key_stream = ""
block_counter = 1
first_key_block = AES_ENC( data=IV||block_counter,
key=Encryption_key )
while len(key_stream) < Plaintext_len:
block_counter = block_counter + 1
key_block = AES_ENC( data=IV||block_counter,
key=Encryption_key )
key_stream = key_stream||key_block
key_stream = truncate( key_stream, Plaintext_len )
return( first_key_block, key_stream )
In theory, this keystream generation process allows for the
encryption of up to (2^36) - 32 octets per invocation (i.e., per
packet), far longer than is actually required.
With any counter mode, if the same (IV, Encryption_key) pair is used
twice, precisely the same keystream is formed. As explained in
Section 9.1 of [RFC3711], this is a cryptographic disaster. For GCM,
the consequences are even worse, since such a reuse compromises GCM's
integrity mechanism not only for the current packet stream but for
all future uses of the current encryption_key.
7. Unneeded SRTP/SRTCP Fields
AEAD Counter Mode encryption removes the need for certain existing
SRTP/SRTCP mechanisms.
7.1. SRTP/SRTCP Authentication Tag Field
The AEAD message authentication mechanism MUST be the primary message
authentication mechanism for AEAD SRTP/SRTCP. Additional SRTP/SRTCP
authentication mechanisms SHOULD NOT be used with any AEAD algorithm,
and the optional SRTP/SRTCP authentication tags are NOT RECOMMENDED
and SHOULD NOT be present. Note that this contradicts Section 3.4 of
[RFC3711], which makes the use of the SRTCP authentication tag field
mandatory, but the presence of the AEAD authentication renders the
older authentication methods redundant.
McGrew & Igoe Standards Track [Page 8]
^L
RFC 7714 AES-GCM for SRTP December 2015
Rationale: Some applications use the SRTP/SRTCP authentication tag
as a means of conveying additional information, notably [RFC4771].
This document retains the authentication tag field primarily to
preserve compatibility with these applications.
7.2. RTP Padding
AES-GCM does not require that the data be padded out to a specific
block size, reducing the need to use the padding mechanism provided
by RTP. It is RECOMMENDED that the RTP padding mechanism not be used
unless it is necessary to disguise the length of the underlying
Plaintext.

The 12-octet IV used by AES-GCM SRTP is formed by first concatenating
2 octets of zeroes, the 4-octet SSRC, the 4-octet rollover counter
(ROC), and the 2-octet sequence number (SEQ). The resulting 12-octet
value is then XORed to the 12-octet salt to form the 12-octet IV.

8.2. Data Types in SRTP Packets
All SRTP packets MUST be both authenticated and encrypted. The data
fields within the RTP packets are broken into Associated Data,
Plaintext, and Raw Data, as follows (see Figure 2):
Associated Data: The version V (2 bits), padding flag P (1 bit),
extension flag X (1 bit), Contributing Source
(CSRC) count CC (4 bits), marker M (1 bit),
Payload Type PT (7 bits), sequence number
(16 bits), timestamp (32 bits), SSRC (32 bits),
optional CSRC identifiers (32 bits each), and
optional RTP extension (variable length).
Plaintext: The RTP payload (variable length), RTP padding
(if used, variable length), and RTP pad count (if
used, 1 octet).
Raw Data: The optional variable-length SRTP Master Key
Identifier (MKI) and SRTP authentication tag
(whose use is NOT RECOMMENDED). These fields are
appended after encryption has been performed.

RFC 7714 AES-GCM for SRTP December 2015
Since the AEAD ciphertext is larger than the Plaintext by exactly the
length of the AEAD authentication tag, the corresponding
SRTP-encrypted packet replaces the Plaintext field with a slightly
larger field containing the cipher. Even if the Plaintext field is
empty, AEAD encryption must still be performed, with the resulting
cipher consisting solely of the authentication tag. This tag is to
be placed immediately before the optional variable-length SRTP MKI
and SRTP authentication tag fields.

8.3. Handling Header Extensions
RTP header extensions were first defined in [RFC3550]. [RFC6904]
describes how these header extensions are to be encrypted in SRTP.
When RFC 6904 is in use, a separate keystream is generated to encrypt
selected RTP header extension elements. For the AEAD_AES_128_GCM
algorithm, this keystream MUST be generated in the manner defined in
[RFC6904], using the AES Counter Mode (AES-CM) transform. For the
McGrew & Igoe Standards Track [Page 11]
^L
RFC 7714 AES-GCM for SRTP December 2015
AEAD_AES_256_GCM algorithm, the keystream MUST be generated in the
manner defined for the AES_256_CM transform. The originator must
perform any required header extension encryption before the AEAD
algorithm is invoked.
As with the other fields contained within the RTP header, both
encrypted and unencrypted header extensions are to be treated by the
AEAD algorithm as Associated Data (AD). Thus, the AEAD algorithm
does not provide any additional privacy for the header extensions,
but it does provide integrity and authentication.
8.4. Prevention of SRTP IV Reuse
In order to prevent IV reuse, we must ensure that the (ROC,SEQ,SSRC)
triple is never used twice with the same master key. The following
two scenarios illustrate this issue:
Counter Management: A rekey MUST be performed to establish a new
master key before the (ROC,SEQ) pair cycles
back to its original value. Note that this
scenario implicitly assumes that either
(1) the outgoing RTP process is trusted to not
attempt to repeat a (ROC,SEQ) value or (2) the
encryption process ensures that both the SEQ
and ROC numbers of the packets presented to it
are always incremented in the proper fashion.
This is particularly important for GCM, since
using the same (ROC,SEQ) value twice
compromises the authentication mechanism. For
GCM, the (ROC,SEQ) and SSRC values used MUST
be generated or checked by either the SRTP
implementation or a module (e.g., the RTP
application) that can be considered equally
trustworthy. While [RFC3711] allows the
detection of SSRC collisions after they
happen, SRTP using GCM with shared master keys
MUST prevent an SSRC collision from happening
even once.
SSRC Management: For a given master key, the set of all SSRC
values used with that master key must be
partitioned into disjoint pools, one pool for
each endpoint using that master key to
originate outbound data. Each such
originating endpoint MUST only issue SSRC
values from the pool it has been assigned.
Further, each originating endpoint MUST
maintain a history of outbound SSRC
McGrew & Igoe Standards Track [Page 12]
^L
RFC 7714 AES-GCM for SRTP December 2015
identifiers that it has issued within the
lifetime of the current master key, and when a
new SSRC requests an SSRC identifier it
MUST NOT be given an identifier that has been
previously issued. A rekey MUST be performed
before any of the originating endpoints using
that master key exhaust their pools of SSRC
values. Further, the identity of the entity
giving out SSRC values MUST be verified, and
the SSRC signaling MUST be integrity
protected.
9. AES-GCM Processing of SRTCP Compound Packets
All SRTCP compound packets MUST be authenticated, but unlike SRTP,
SRTCP packet encryption is optional. A sender can select which
packets to encrypt and indicates this choice with a 1-bit
Encryption flag (located just before the 31-bit SRTCP index).
9.1. SRTCP IV Formation for AES-GCM
The 12-octet IV used by AES-GCM SRTCP is formed by first
concatenating 2 octets of zeroes, the 4-octet SSRC identifier,
2 octets of zeroes, a single "0" bit, and the 31-bit SRTCP index.
The resulting 12-octet value is then XORed to the 12-octet salt to
form the 12-octet IV.

When the Encryption flag is set to 1, the SRTCP packet is broken into
Plaintext, Associated Data, and Raw (untouched) Data (as shown above
in Figure 5):
Associated Data: The packet version V (2 bits), padding flag P
(1 bit), reception report count RC (5 bits),
Packet Type (8 bits), length (2 octets), SSRC
(4 octets), Encryption flag (1 bit), and SRTCP
index (31 bits).
Raw Data: The optional variable-length SRTCP MKI and SRTCP
authentication tag (whose use is
NOT RECOMMENDED).
Plaintext: All other data.
Note that the Plaintext comes in one contiguous field. Since the
AEAD cipher is larger than the Plaintext by exactly the length of the
AEAD authentication tag, the corresponding SRTCP-encrypted packet
replaces the Plaintext field with a slightly larger field containing
the cipher. Even if the Plaintext field is empty, AEAD encryption
must still be performed, with the resulting cipher consisting solely
of the authentication tag. This tag is to be placed immediately
before the Encryption flag and SRTCP index.

McGrew & Igoe Standards Track [Page 16]

RFC 7714 AES-GCM for SRTP December 2015
When the Encryption flag is set to 0, the SRTCP compound packet is
broken into Plaintext, Associated Data, and Raw (untouched) Data, as
follows (see Figure 6):
Plaintext: None.
Raw Data: The variable-length optional SRTCP MKI and SRTCP
authentication tag (whose use is
NOT RECOMMENDED).
Associated Data: All other data.
Even though there is no ciphertext in this RTCP packet, AEAD
encryption returns a cipher field that is precisely the length of the
AEAD authentication tag. This cipher is to be placed before the
Encryption flag and the SRTCP index in the authenticated SRTCP
packet.
9.4. Prevention of SRTCP IV Reuse
A new master key MUST be established before the 31-bit SRTCP index
cycles back to its original value. Ideally, a rekey should be
performed and a new master key put in place well before the SRTCP
index cycles back to the starting value.
The comments on SSRC management in Section 8.4 also apply.
10. Constraints on AEAD for SRTP and SRTCP
In general, any AEAD algorithm can accept inputs with varying
lengths, but each algorithm can accept only a limited range of
lengths for a specific parameter. In this section, we describe the
constraints on the parameter lengths that any AEAD algorithm must
support to be used in AEAD-SRTP. Additionally, we specify a complete
parameter set for one specific family of AEAD algorithms, namely
AES-GCM.
McGrew & Igoe Standards Track [Page 17]
^L
RFC 7714 AES-GCM for SRTP December 2015
All AEAD algorithms used with SRTP/SRTCP MUST satisfy the five
constraints listed below:
Parameter Meaning Value
---------------------------------------------------------------------
A_MAX maximum Associated MUST be at least 12 octets.
Data length
N_MIN minimum nonce (IV) MUST be 12 octets.
length
N_MAX maximum nonce (IV) MUST be 12 octets.
length
P_MAX maximum Plaintext GCM: MUST be <= 2^36 - 32 octets.
length per invocation
C_MAX maximum ciphertext GCM: MUST be <= 2^36 - 16 octets.
length per invocation
For the sake of clarity, we specify three additional parameters:
AEAD authentication tag length MUST be 16 octets
Maximum number of invocations SRTP: MUST be at most 2^48
for a given instantiation SRTCP: MUST be at most 2^31
Block Counter size GCM: MUST be 32 bits
The reader is reminded that the ciphertext is longer than the
Plaintext by exactly the length of the AEAD authentication tag.
11. Key Derivation Functions
A Key Derivation Function (KDF) is used to derive all of the required
encryption and authentication keys from a secret value shared by the
endpoints. The AEAD_AES_128_GCM algorithm MUST use the (128-bit)
AES_CM PRF KDF described in [RFC3711]. AEAD_AES_256_GCM MUST use the
AES_256_CM_PRF KDF described in [RFC6188].

12. Summary of AES-GCM in SRTP/SRTCP
For convenience, much of the information about the use of the AES-GCM
family of algorithms in SRTP is collected in the tables contained in
this section.
The AES-GCM family of AEAD algorithms is built around the AES block
cipher algorithm. AES-GCM uses AES-CM for encryption and Galois
Message Authentication Code (GMAC) for authentication. A detailed
description of the AES-GCM family can be found in [RFC5116]. The
following members of the AES-GCM family may be used with SRTP/SRTCP:
Name Key Size AEAD Tag Size Reference
================================================================
AEAD_AES_128_GCM 16 octets 16 octets [RFC5116]
AEAD_AES_256_GCM 32 octets 16 octets [RFC5116]
Table 1: AES-GCM Algorithms for SRTP/SRTCP
Any implementation of AES-GCM SRTP MUST support both AEAD_AES_128_GCM
and AEAD_AES_256_GCM. Below, we summarize parameters associated with
these two GCM algorithms:
+--------------------------------+------------------------------+
| Parameter | Value |
+--------------------------------+------------------------------+

| Master salt length | 96 bits |
| Key Derivation Function | AES_CM PRF [RFC3711] |

13. Security Considerations
13.1. Handling of Security-Critical Parameters
As with any security process, the implementer must take care to
ensure that cryptographically sensitive parameters are properly
handled. Many of these recommendations hold for all SRTP
cryptographic algorithms, but we include them here to emphasize their
importance.
- If the master salt is to be kept secret, it MUST be properly erased
when no longer needed.
- The secret master key and all keys derived from it MUST be kept
secret. All keys MUST be properly erased when no longer needed.
- At the start of each packet, the Block Counter MUST be reset to 1.
The Block Counter is incremented after each block key has been
produced, but it MUST NOT be allowed to exceed 2^32 - 1 for GCM.
Note that even though the Block Counter is reset at the start of
each packet, IV uniqueness is ensured by the inclusion of
SSRC/ROC/SEQ or the SRTCP index in the IV. (The reader is reminded
that the first block of key produced is reserved for use in
authenticating the packet and is not used to encrypt Plaintext.)
- Each time a rekey occurs, the initial values of both the 31-bit
SRTCP index and the 48-bit SRTP packet index (ROC||SEQ) MUST be
saved in order to prevent IV reuse.
- Processing MUST cease if either the 31-bit SRTCP index or the
48-bit SRTP packet index (ROC||SEQ) cycles back to its initial
value. Processing MUST NOT resume until a new SRTP/SRTCP session
has been established using a new SRTP master key. Ideally, a rekey
should be done well before any of these counters cycle.
McGrew & Igoe Standards Track [Page 20]
^L
RFC 7714 AES-GCM for SRTP December 2015
13.2. Size of the Authentication Tag
We require that the AEAD authentication tag be 16 octets, in order to
effectively eliminate the risk of an adversary successfully
introducing fraudulent data. Though other protocols may allow the
use of truncated authentication tags, the consensus of the authors
and the working group is that risks associated with using truncated
AES-GCM tags are deemed too high to allow the use of truncated
authentication tags in SRTP/SRTCP.
14. IANA Considerations
14.1. SDES
"Session Description Protocol (SDP) Security Descriptions for Media
Streams" [RFC4568] defines SRTP "crypto suites". A crypto suite
corresponds to a particular AEAD algorithm in SRTP. In order to
allow security descriptions to signal the use of the algorithms
defined in this document, IANA has registered the following crypto
suites in the "SRTP Crypto Suite Registrations" subregistry of the
"Session Description Protocol (SDP) Security Descriptions" registry.
The ABNF [RFC5234] syntax is as follows:
srtp-crypto-suite-ext = "AEAD_AES_128_GCM" /
"AEAD_AES_256_GCM" /
srtp-crypto-suite-ext
McGrew & Igoe Standards Track [Page 21]
^L
RFC 7714 AES-GCM for SRTP December 2015
14.2. DTLS-SRTP
DTLS-SRTP [RFC5764] defines DTLS-SRTP "SRTP protection profiles".
These profiles also correspond to the use of an AEAD algorithm in
SRTP. In order to allow the use of the algorithms defined in this
document in DTLS-SRTP, IANA has registered the following SRTP
protection profiles:
SRTP_AEAD_AES_128_GCM = {0x00, 0x07}
SRTP_AEAD_AES_256_GCM = {0x00, 0x08}
Below, we list the SRTP transform parameters for each of these
protection profiles. Unless separate parameters for SRTP and SRTCP
are explicitly listed, these parameters apply to both SRTP and SRTCP.
SRTP_AEAD_AES_128_GCM
cipher: AES_128_GCM
cipher_key_length: 128 bits
cipher_salt_length: 96 bits
aead_auth_tag_length: 16 octets
auth_function: NULL
auth_key_length: N/A
auth_tag_length: N/A
maximum lifetime: at most 2^31 SRTCP packets and
at most 2^48 SRTP packets
SRTP_AEAD_AES_256_GCM
cipher: AES_256_GCM
cipher_key_length: 256 bits
cipher_salt_length: 96 bits
aead_auth_tag_length: 16 octets
auth_function: NULL
auth_key_length: N/A
auth_tag_length: N/A
maximum lifetime: at most 2^31 SRTCP packets and
at most 2^48 SRTP packets
Note that these SRTP protection profiles do not specify an
auth_function, auth_key_length, or auth_tag_length, because all
of these profiles use AEAD algorithms and thus do not use a
separate auth_function, auth_key, or auth_tag. The term
"aead_auth_tag_length" is used to emphasize that this refers to
the authentication tag provided by the AEAD algorithm and that
this tag is not located in the authentication tag field provided by
SRTP/SRTCP.

RFC 7714 AES-GCM for SRTP December 2015
14.3. MIKEY
In accordance with "MIKEY: Multimedia Internet KEYing" [RFC3830],
IANA maintains several subregistries under "Multimedia Internet
KEYing (MIKEY) Payload Name Spaces". Per this document, additions
have been made to two of the MIKEY subregistries.
In the "MIKEY Security Protocol Parameters" subregistry, the
following has been added:
Type | Meaning | Possible Values
--------------------------------------------------------
20 | AEAD authentication tag length | 16 octets
This list is, of course, intended for use with GCM. It is
conceivable that new AEAD algorithms introduced at some point in the
future may require a different set of authentication tag lengths.
In the "Encryption algorithm (Value 0)" subregistry (derived from
Table 6.10.1.b of [RFC3830]), the following has been added:
SRTP Encr. | Value | Default Session | Default Auth.
Algorithm | | Encr. Key Length | Tag Length
-----------------------------------------------------------
AES-GCM | 6 | 16 octets | 16 octets
The encryption algorithm, session encryption key length, and AEAD
authentication tag sizes received from MIKEY fully determine the AEAD
algorithm to be used. The exact mapping is described in Section 15.
15. Parameters for Use with MIKEY
MIKEY specifies the algorithm family separately from the key length
(which is specified by the Session Encryption key length) and the
authentication tag length (specified by the AEAD authentication tag
length).
+------------+-------------+-------------+
| Encryption | Encryption | AEAD Auth. |
| Algorithm | Key Length | Tag Length |
+============+=============+=============+
AEAD_AES_128_GCM | AES-GCM | 16 octets | 16 octets |
+------------+-------------+-------------+
AEAD_AES_256_GCM | AES-GCM | 32 octets | 16 octets |
+============+=============+=============+
Table 4: Mapping MIKEY Parameters to AEAD Algorithms
McGrew & Igoe Standards Track [Page 23]
^L
RFC 7714 AES-GCM for SRTP December 2015
Section 11 of this document restricts the choice of KDF for AEAD
algorithms. To enforce this restriction in MIKEY, we require that
the SRTP Pseudorandom Function (PRF) has value AES-CM whenever an
AEAD algorithm is used. Note that, according to Section 6.10.1 of
[RFC3830], the input key length of the KDF (i.e., the SRTP master key
length) is always equal to the session encryption key length. This
means, for example, that AEAD_AES_256_GCM will use AES_256_CM_PRF as
the KDF.
16. Some RTP Test Vectors
The examples in this section are all based upon the same RTP packet
8040f17b 8041f8d3 5501a0b2 47616c6c
69612065 7374206f 6d6e6973 20646976

consisting of a 12-octet header (8040f17b 8041f8d3 5501a0b2) and a
38-octet payload (47616c6c 69612065 7374206f 6d6e6973 20646976
69736120 696e2070 61727465 73207472 6573), which is just the ASCII
string "Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres". The salt used
(51756964 2070726f 2071756f) comes from the ASCII string "Quid pro
quo". The 16-octet (128-bit) key is 00 01 02 ... 0f, and the
32-octet (256-bit) key is 00 01 02 ... 1f. At the time this document
was written, the RTP payload type (1000000 binary = 64 decimal) was
an unassigned value.
As shown in Section 8.1, the IV is formed by XORing two 12-octet
values. The first 12-octet value is formed by concatenating two
zero octets, the 4-octet SSRC (found in the ninth through 12th octets
of the packet), the 4-octet rollover counter (ROC) maintained at each
end of the link, and the 2-octet sequence number (SEQ) (found in the
third and fourth octets of the packet). The second 12-octet value is
the salt, a value that is held constant at least until the key is
changed.

17. RTCP Test Vectors
The examples in this section are all based upon the same RTCP packet:
81c8000e 4d617273 4e545031 4e545031
52545020 0000042a 0000eb98 4c756e61
deadbeef deadbeef deadbeef deadbeef
deadbeef
with 32-bit SRTCP index 000005d4.
As shown in Section 9.1, the IV is formed by XORing two 12-octet
values. The first 12-octet value is formed by concatenating
two zero octets, the 4-octet SSRC (found in the fifth through
eighth octets of the RTP packet), another two padding octets, and the
31-bit SRTCP index, right-justified in a 32-bit = 4-octet field with
a single "0" bit prepended as padding. An example of SRTCP IV
formation is shown below:
| Pad | SSRC | Pad | 0+SRTCP |
00 00 4d 61 72 73 00 00 00 00 05 d4
salt 51 75 69 64 20 70 72 6f 20 71 75 6f
------------------------------------
IV 51 75 24 05 52 03 72 6f 20 71 70 bb
In an SRTCP packet, a 1-bit Encryption flag is prepended to the
31-bit SRTCP index to form a 32-bit value we shall call the
"ESRTCP word". The E-flag is one if the SRTCP packet has been
encrypted and zero if it has been tagged but not encrypted. Note
that the ESRTCP field is only present in an SRTCP packet, not in an
RTCP packet. The full ESRTCP word is part of the AAD.
McGrew & Igoe Standards Track [Page 37]
^L
RFC 7714 AES-GCM for SRTP December 2015
When encrypting and tagging an RTCP packet (E-flag = 1), the SRTCP
packet consists of the following fields in the following order:
- The first 8 octets of the RTCP packet (part of the AAD).
- The cipher.
- The ESRTCP word (the final part of the AAD).
- Any Raw Data that might have been appended to the end of the
original RTCP packet.
Recall that AEAD treats the authentication tag as an integral part of
the cipher, and in fact the authentication tag is the last 8 or
16 octets of the cipher.
The reader is reminded that when the RTCP packet is to be tagged but
not encrypted (E-flag = 0), GCM will produce a cipher that consists
solely of the 8-octet or 16-octet authentication tag. The tagged
SRTCP consists of the following fields in the order listed below:
- All of the AAD, except for the ESRTCP word.
- The cipher (= the authentication tag).
- The ESRTCP word (the final part of the AAD).
- Any Raw Data that might have been appended to the end of the
original RTCP packet.
