1. Introduction
The Kerberos protocol [RFC4120] commonly uses password-derived long-
term keys to secure the initial authentication exchange between a
Kerberos client and a Key Distribution Center (KDC). As noted in
Section 10 of [RFC4120], an attacker can perform an offline
dictionary attack against the password; this is performed either by
initiating an authentication exchange to a principal for which the
KDC does not require pre-authentication or after eavesdropping on a
legitimate authentication exchange that uses encrypted timestamp pre-
authentication (Section 5.2.7.2 of [RFC4120]).
This document defines a pre-authentication mechanism that
authenticates using long-term keys but is resistant to offline
dictionary attacks. The mechanism additionally enables the use of
second-factor authentication without the need for a separately
established secure channel, by leveraging the trust relationship
established by the shared long-term key.
1.1. Properties of PAKE
Password-authenticated key exchange (PAKE) algorithms [RFC8125]
provide several properties that defend against offline dictionary
attacks and make them ideal for use in a Kerberos pre-authentication
mechanism.
1. Each side of the exchange contributes entropy.
2. Passive attackers cannot determine the shared key.
3. Active attackers cannot perform a machine-in-the-middle attack.
These properties of PAKE allow us to establish high-entropy
encryption keys resistant to offline brute-force attacks, even when
the passwords used are weak (low entropy).
1.2. PAKE Algorithm Selection
The SPAKE algorithm (defined in [SPAKE]) works by encrypting the
public keys of a Diffie-Hellman (DH) key exchange with a shared
secret. SPAKE is selected for this pre-authentication mechanism for
the following properties:
1. SPAKE's encryption method ensures that the result is a member of
the underlying group, so it can be used with elliptic curve
cryptography, which is believed to provide equivalent security
levels to finite-field DH key exchange at much smaller key sizes.
2. It can compute the shared key after just one message from each
party, minimizing the need for additional round trips and state.
3. It requires a small number of group operations; therefore, it can
be implemented simply and efficiently.
1.3. PAKE and Two-Factor Authentication
Using PAKE in a pre-authentication mechanism also has another benefit
when used as a component of two-factor authentication (2FA). 2FA
methods often require the secure transfer of plaintext material to
the KDC for verification. This includes one-time passwords,
challenge/response signatures, and biometric data. Encrypting this
data using the long-term secret results in packets that are
vulnerable to offline brute-force attacks on the password, using
either an authentication tag or statistical properties of the 2FA
credentials to determine whether a password guess is correct.
In "One-Time Password (OTP) Pre-Authentication" [RFC6560], this
problem is mitigated using flexible authentication secure tunneling
(FAST) (Section 5.4 of [RFC6113]), which uses a secondary trust
relationship to create a secure encryption channel within which pre-
authentication data can be sent. However, the requirement for a
secondary trust relationship has proven to be cumbersome to deploy
and often introduces third parties into the trust chain (such as
certification authorities). These requirements make it difficult to
enable FAST without manual configuration of client hosts. In
contrast, SPAKE pre-authentication, can create a secure encryption
channel implicitly, using the key exchange to negotiate a high-
entropy encryption key. This key can then be used to securely
encrypt 2FA plaintext data without the need for a secondary trust
relationship. Further, if the second-factor verifiers are sent at
the same time as the first-factor verifier, and the KDC is careful to
prevent timing attacks, then an online brute-force attack cannot be
used to attack the factors separately.
For these reasons, this document departs from the advice given in
Section 1 of [RFC6113], which states: "Mechanism designers should
design FAST factors, instead of new pre-authentication mechanisms
outside of FAST." However, the SPAKE pre-authentication mechanism
does not intend to replace FAST and may be used with it to further
conceal the metadata of the Kerberos messages.
1.4. SPAKE Overview
The SPAKE algorithm can be broadly described in a series of four
steps:
1. Calculation and exchange of the public key
2. Calculation of the shared secret (K)
3. Derivation of an encryption key (K')
4. Verification of the derived encryption key (K')
In this mechanism, key verification happens implicitly by a
successful decryption of the 2FA data or of a placeholder value when
no second factor is required. This mechanism uses a tailored method
of deriving encryption keys from the calculated shared secret K, for
several reasons:
* to fit within the framework of [RFC3961],
* to ensure negotiation integrity using a transcript hash,
* to derive different keys for each use, and
* to bind the KDC-REQ-BODY to the pre-authentication exchange.
2. Document Conventions
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
BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.
This document refers to numerous terms and protocol messages defined
in [RFC4120].
The terms "encryption type", "key generation seed length", and
"random-to-key" are defined in [RFC3961].
The terms "FAST", "PA-FX-COOKIE", "KDC_ERR_PREAUTH_EXPIRED",
"KDC_ERR_MORE_PREAUTH_DATA_REQUIRED", "KDC_ERR_PREAUTH_FAILED", "pre-
authentication facility", and "authentication set" are defined in
[RFC6113].
[SPAKE] defines SPAKE as a family of two key-exchange algorithms
differing only in derivation of the final key. This mechanism uses a
derivation similar to the second algorithm (SPAKE2). For simplicity,
this document refers to the algorithm as "SPAKE".
The terms "Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1)" and "Distinguished
Encoding Rules (DER)" are defined in [ITU-T.X680.2021] and
[ITU-T.X690.2021], respectively.
When discussing operations within algebraic groups, this document
uses additive notation (as described in Section 2.2 of [RFC6090]).
Group elements are denoted with uppercase letters, while scalar
multiplier values are denoted with lowercase letters.
3. Prerequisites
3.1. PA-ETYPE-INFO2
This mechanism requires the initial KDC pre-authentication state to
contain a singular reply key. Therefore, a KDC that offers SPAKE
pre-authentication as a stand-alone mechanism MUST supply a PA-ETYPE-
INFO2 value containing a single ETYPE-INFO2-ENTRY, following the
guidance in Section 2.1 of [RFC6113]. PA-ETYPE-INFO2 is specified in
Section 5.2.7.5 of [RFC4120].
3.2. Cookie Support
KDCs that implement SPAKE pre-authentication MUST have some secure
mechanism for retaining state between authentication service requests
(AS-REQs). For stateless KDC implementations, this method will most
commonly be an encrypted PA-FX-COOKIE. Clients that implement SPAKE
pre-authentication MUST support PA-FX-COOKIE, as described in
Section 5.2 of [RFC6113].
3.3. More Pre-authentication Data Required
Both KDCs and clients that implement SPAKE pre-authentication MUST
support the use of KDC_ERR_MORE_PREAUTH_DATA_REQUIRED, as described
in Section 5.2 of [RFC6113].
4. SPAKE Pre-authentication Message Protocol
This mechanism uses the reply key and provides the client
authentication and strengthening reply key pre-authentication
facilities (Section 3 of [RFC6113]). When the mechanism completes
successfully, the client will have proved knowledge of the original
reply key and possibly a second factor, and the reply key will be
strengthened to a more uniform distribution based on the PAKE
exchange. This mechanism also ensures the integrity of the KDC-REQ-
BODY contents. This mechanism can be used in an authentication set;
no pa-hint value is required or defined.
This mechanism negotiates a choice of group for the SPAKE algorithm.
Groups are defined in the "Kerberos SPAKE Groups" registry created by
this document (see Section 12.2). Each group definition specifies an
associated hash function, which will be used for transcript
protection and key derivation. Clients and KDCs MUST implement the
edwards25519 group, but they MAY choose not to offer or accept it by
default.
The subsections that follow will describe the flow of messages when
performing SPAKE pre-authentication. We will begin by explaining the
most verbose version of the protocol, which all implementations MUST
support. Then, we will describe several optional optimizations to
reduce round trips.
Mechanism messages are communicated using PA-DATA elements within the
padata field of KDC-REQ messages or within the METHOD-DATA in the
e-data field of KRB-ERROR messages. All PA-DATA elements for this
mechanism MUST use the following padata-type:
PA-SPAKE 151
The padata-value for all PA-SPAKE PA-DATA values MUST be empty or
contain a DER encoding for the ASN.1 type PA-SPAKE.
PA-SPAKE ::= CHOICE {
support [0] SPAKESupport,
challenge [1] SPAKEChallenge,
response [2] SPAKEResponse,
encdata [3] EncryptedData,
...
}
4.1. First Pass
The SPAKE pre-authentication exchange begins when the client sends an
initial authentication service request (AS-REQ) without pre-
authentication data. Upon receipt of this AS-REQ, a KDC that
requires pre-authentication and supports SPAKE SHOULD (unless
configuration indicates otherwise) reply with a
KDC_ERR_PREAUTH_REQUIRED error, with METHOD-DATA containing an empty
PA-SPAKE PA-DATA element (possibly in addition to other PA-DATA
elements). This message indicates to the client that the KDC
supports SPAKE pre-authentication.
4.2. Second Pass
Once the client knows that the KDC supports SPAKE pre-authentication
and the client wants to use it, the client will generate a new AS-REQ
message containing a PA-SPAKE PA-DATA element using the support
choice. This message indicates to the KDC which groups the client
prefers for the SPAKE operation. The group numbers are defined in
the "Kerberos SPAKE Groups" registry (see Section 12.2). The group's
sequence is ordered from the most preferred group to the least
preferred group.
SPAKESupport ::= SEQUENCE {
groups [0] SEQUENCE (SIZE(1..MAX)) OF Int32,
...
}
Upon receipt of the support message, the KDC will select a group.
The KDC SHOULD choose a group from the groups provided by the support
message. However, if the support message does not contain any group
that is supported by the KDC, the KDC MAY select another group in
hopes that the client might support it. Otherwise, the KDC MUST
respond with a KDC_ERR_PREAUTH_FAILED error.
The group selection determines the group order, which shall be a
large prime p multiplied by a small cofactor h (possibly 1), a
generator P of a prime-order subgroup, and two masking points M and
N. The KDC selects a random integer x in the range 0 <= x < h*p,
which MUST be divisible by h. The KDC computes a public key
T=x*P+w*M, where w is computed from the initial reply key according
to Section 5.
The KDC will reply to the client with a
KDC_ERR_MORE_PREAUTH_DATA_REQUIRED error containing a PA-SPAKE PA-
DATA element using the challenge choice.
SPAKEChallenge ::= SEQUENCE {
group [0] Int32,
pubkey [1] OCTET STRING,
factors [2] SEQUENCE (SIZE(1..MAX)) OF SPAKESecondFactor,
...
}
The group field indicates the KDC-selected group used for all SPAKE
calculations as defined in the "Kerberos SPAKE Groups" registry (see
Section 12.2).
The pubkey field indicates the KDC's public key T, serialized
according to Section 5.
The factors field contains an unordered list of second factors, which
can be used to complete the authentication. Each second factor is
represented by a SPAKESecondFactor.
SPAKESecondFactor ::= SEQUENCE {
type [0] Int32,
data [1] OCTET STRING OPTIONAL
}
The type field is a unique integer that identifies the second-factor
type. The factors field of SPAKEChallenge MUST NOT contain more than
one SPAKESecondFactor with the same type value.
The data field contains optional challenge data. The contents in
this field will depend upon the second-factor type chosen. Note that
this challenge is initially transmitted as unauthenticated plaintext;
see Section 10.2.
The client and KDC will each initialize a transcript hash (Section 6)
using the hash function associated with the chosen group and update
it with the concatenation of the DER-encoded PA-SPAKE messages sent
by the client and the KDC.
4.3. Third Pass
Upon receipt of the challenge message, the client observes which
group was selected by the KDC and deserializes the KDC's public key
T. The client selects a random integer y in the range 0 <= x < h*p,
which MUST be divisible by h. The client computes a public key
S=y*P+w*N, where w is computed from the initial reply key according
to Section 5. The client computes a shared group element
K=y*(T-w*M).
The client will then choose one of the second-factor types listed in
the factors field of the challenge message and gather whatever data
is required for the chosen second-factor type, possibly using the
associated challenge data. Finally, the client will send an AS-REQ
containing a PA-SPAKE PA-DATA element using the response choice.
SPAKEResponse ::= SEQUENCE {
pubkey [0] OCTET STRING,
factor [1] EncryptedData, -- SPAKESecondFactor
...
}
The client and KDC will update the transcript hash with the pubkey
value and use the resulting hash for all encryption key derivations.
The pubkey field indicates the client's public key S, serialized
according to Section 5.
The factor field indicates the client's chosen second-factor data.
The key for this field is K'[1] (specified in Section 7). The kvno
field of the EncryptedData sequence is omitted. The key usage number
for the encryption is KEY_USAGE_SPAKE. The plaintext inside the
EncryptedData is an encoding of the SPAKESecondFactor. Once decoded,
the SPAKESecondFactor provides the type of the second factor and any
optional data used. The contents of the data field will depend on
the second-factor type chosen. The client MUST NOT send a response
containing a second-factor type that was not listed in the factors
field of the challenge message.
When the KDC receives the response message from the client, it
deserializes the client's public key S, and computes the shared group
element K=x*(S-w*N). The KDC derives K'[1] and decrypts the factors
field. If decryption is successful, the first factor is successfully
validated. The KDC then validates the second factor. If either
factor fails to validate, the KDC MUST respond with a
KDC_ERR_PREAUTH_FAILED error.
If validation of the second factor requires further round trips, the
KDC MUST reply to the client with a
KDC_ERR_MORE_PREAUTH_DATA_REQUIRED error containing a PA-SPAKE PA-
DATA element using the encdata choice. The kvno field of the
EncryptedData sequence is omitted. The key for the EncryptedData
value is K'[2] (specified in Section 7), and the key usage number is
KEY_USAGE_SPAKE. The plaintext of this message contains a DER-
encoded SPAKESecondFactor message. As before, the type field of this
message will contain the second-factor type and the data field will,
optionally, contain data specific to the second-factor type.
4.4. Subsequent Passes
Any number of additional round trips may occur using the encdata
choice. The contents of the plaintexts are specific to the second-
factor type. If a client receives a PA-SPAKE PA-DATA element using
the encdata choice from the KDC, it MUST reply with a subsequent AS-
REQ with a PA-SPAKE PA-DATA element using the encdata choice or abort
the AS exchange.
The key for client-originated encdata messages in subsequent passes
is K'[3] (specified in Section 7) for the first subsequent pass,
K'[5] for the second, and so on. The key for KDC-originated encdata
messages is K'[4] for the first subsequent pass, K'[6] for the
second, and so on.
4.5. Reply Key Strengthening
When the KDC has successfully validated both factors, the reply key
is strengthened and the mechanism is complete. The strengthening of
the reply key is accomplished by the client and KDC replacing it with
K'[0] (as specified in Section 7). The KDC then replies with a KDC-
REP message or continues on to the next mechanism in the
authentication set. There is no final PA-SPAKE PA-DATA message from
the KDC to the client.
Reply key strengthening occurs only once: at the end of the exchange.
The client and KDC MUST use the initial reply key as the base key for
all K'[n] derivations.
4.6. Optimizations
The full protocol has two possible optimizations.
First, the KDC MAY reply to the initial AS-REQ (containing no pre-
authentication data) with a PA-SPAKE PA-DATA element using the
challenge choice instead of an empty padata-value. In this case, the
KDC optimistically selects a group that the client may not support.
If the group chosen by the challenge message is supported by the
client, the client MUST skip to the third pass by issuing an AS-REQ
with a PA-SPAKE message using the response choice. In this case, no
SPAKESupport message is sent by the client, so the first update to
the transcript hash contains only the KDC's optimistic challenge. If
the KDC's chosen group is not supported by the client, the client
MUST continue to the second pass. In this case, both the client and
KDC MUST reinitialize the transcript hash for the client's support
message. Clients MUST support this optimization.
Second, clients MAY skip the first pass and send an AS-REQ with a PA-
SPAKE PA-DATA element using the support choice. If the KDC accepts
the support message and generates a challenge, it MUST include a PA-
ETYPE-INFO2 value within the METHOD-DATA of the
KDC_ERR_MORE_PREAUTH_DATA_REQUIRED error response, as the client may
not otherwise be able to compute the initial reply key. If the KDC
cannot continue with SPAKE (either because the initial reply key type
is incompatible with SPAKE or because it does not support any of the
client's groups) but can offer other pre-authentication mechanisms,
the KDC MUST respond with a KDC_ERR_PREAUTH_FAILED error containing
METHOD-DATA for the available mechanisms. A client supporting this
optimization MUST continue after a KDC_ERR_PREAUTH_FAILED error as
described in Section 2 of [RFC6113]. KDCs MUST support this
optimization.
5. SPAKE Parameters and Conversions
Group elements are converted to and from octet strings using the
serialization method defined in the "Kerberos SPAKE Groups" registry
(see Section 12.2).
The SPAKE algorithm requires constants M and N for each group. These
constants are defined in the "Kerberos SPAKE Groups" registry (see
Section 12.2).
The SPAKE algorithm requires a shared secret input w to be used as a
scalar multiplier. This value MUST be produced from the initial
reply key as follows:
1. Determine the length of the multiplier octet string as defined in
the "Kerberos SPAKE Groups" registry (see Section 12.2).
2. Compose a pepper string by concatenating the string "SPAKEsecret"
and the group number as a big-endian four-byte two's complement
binary number.
3. Produce an octet string of the required length using PRF+(K,
pepper), where K is the initial reply key and PRF+ is as defined
in Section 5.1 of [RFC6113].
4. Convert the octet string to a multiplier scalar using the
multiplier conversion method defined in the "Kerberos SPAKE
Groups" registry (see Section 12.2).
The KDC chooses a secret scalar value x and the client chooses a
secret scalar value y. As required by the SPAKE algorithm, these
values are chosen randomly and uniformly. The KDC and client MUST
NOT reuse x or y values for authentications involving different
initial reply keys (see Section 10.4).
6. Transcript Hash
The transcript hash is an octet string of length equal to the output
length of the hash function associated with the selected group. All
bits are set to zero in the initial value.
When the transcript hash is updated with an octet string input, the
new value is the hash function computed over the concatenation of the
old value and the input.
In the normal message flow or with the second optimization described
in Section 4.6, the transcript hash is:
1. updated with the concatenation of the client's support message
and the KDC's challenge, then
2. updated a second time with the client's pubkey value.
Therefore, it incorporates the client's supported groups, the KDC's
chosen group, the KDC's initial second-factor messages, and the
client and KDC public values. Once the transcript hash is finalized,
it is used without change for all key derivations (Section 7). In
particular, encrypted second-factor messages are not included in the
transcript hash.
If the first optimization described in Section 4.6 is used
successfully, the transcript hash is first updated with the KDC's
challenge message and updated a second time with the client's pubkey
value.
If the first optimization is used unsuccessfully (i.e., the client
does not accept the KDC's selected group), the transcript hash is
computed as in the normal message flow, without including the KDC's
optimistic challenge.
7. Key Derivation
Implementations MUST NOT use the shared group element (denoted by K)
directly for any cryptographic operation. Instead, the SPAKE result
is used to derive keys K'[n] (defined in this section).
First, compute the hash function associated with the selected group
over the concatenation of the following values:
* The fixed string "SPAKEkey".
* The group number as a big-endian four-byte two's complement binary
number.
* The encryption type of the initial reply key as a big-endian four-
byte two's complement binary number.
* The PRF+ output used to compute the initial secret input w (as
specified in Section 5).
* The SPAKE result K, converted to an octet string (as specified in
Section 5).
* The transcript hash.
* The KDC-REQ-BODY encoding for the request being sent or responded
to. Within a FAST channel, the inner KDC-REQ-BODY encoding MUST
be used.
* The value n as a big-endian, four-byte, and unsigned binary
number.
* A single-byte block counter with the initial value 0x01.
If the hash output is too small for the encryption type's key
generation seed length, the block counter value is incremented and
the hash function is recomputed to produce as many blocks as are
required. The result is truncated to the key generation seed length,
and the random-to-key function is used to produce an intermediate key
with the same encryption type as the initial reply key.
The key K'[n] has the same encryption type as the initial reply key,
and has the value KRB-FX-CF2(initial-reply-key, intermediate-key,
"SPAKE", "keyderiv"), where KRB-FX-CF2 is defined in Section 5.1 of
[RFC6113].
8. Second-Factor Types
This document defines one second-factor type:
SF-NONE 1
This second-factor type indicates that no second factor is used.
Whenever a SPAKESecondFactor is used with SF-NONE, the data field
MUST be omitted. The SF-NONE second factor always successfully
validates.
9. Hint for Authentication Sets
If a KDC offers SPAKE pre-authentication as part of an authentication
set (Section 5.3 of [RFC6113]), it SHOULD provide a pa-hint value
containing the DER encoding of the ASN.1 type PA-SPAKE-HINT. This
helps the client determine whether SPAKE pre-authentication is likely
to succeed if the authentication set is chosen.
PA-SPAKE-HINT ::= SEQUENCE {
groups [0] SEQUENCE (SIZE(1..MAX)) OF Int32,
factors [1] SEQUENCE (SIZE(1..MAX)) OF SPAKESecondFactor
}
The groups field indicates the KDC's supported groups. The factors
field indicates the KDC's supported second factors. The KDC MAY omit
the data field of values in the factors list.
A KDC MUST NOT include a PA-SPAKE-HINT message directly in a pa-value
field; hints must only be provided within authentication sets. A KDC
SHOULD include a hint if SPAKE pre-authentication is offered as the
second or later element of an authentication set.
The PA-SPAKE-HINT message is not part of the transcript, and it does
not replace any part of the SPAKE message flow.
10. Security Considerations
10.1. SPAKE Computations
The deserialized public keys S and T MUST be verified to be elements
of the group to prevent invalid curve attacks. It is not necessary
to verify that they are members of the prime-order subgroup; the
computation of K by both parties involves a multiplication by the
cofactor h.
The aforementioned cofactor multiplication is accomplished by
choosing private scalars x and y, which are divisible by the
cofactor. If the client or KDC chooses a scalar that might not be
divisible by the cofactor, an attacker might be able to coerce values
of K that are not members of the prime-order subgroup and deduce a
limited amount of information about w from the order of K.
The scalars x and y MUST be chosen uniformly. They MUST NOT be
reused for different initial reply keys. If an x or y value is
reused for pre-authentications involving two different initial reply
keys, an attacker who observes both authentications and knows one of
the initial reply keys can conduct an offline dictionary attack to
recover the other one.
The M and N values for a group MUST NOT have known discrete logs. An
attacker who knows the discrete log of M or N can perform an offline
dictionary attack on passwords. Therefore, it is important to
demonstrate that the M and N values for each group were computed
without multiplying a known value by the generator P.
10.2. Unauthenticated Plaintext
This mechanism includes unauthenticated plaintext in the support and
challenge messages. Beginning with the third pass, the integrity of
this plaintext is ensured by incorporating the transcript hash into
the derivation of the final reply key and second-factor encryption
keys. Downgrade attacks on support and challenge messages will
result in the client and KDC deriving different reply keys and
EncryptedData keys. The KDC-REQ-BODY contents are also incorporated
into key derivation, ensuring their integrity. The unauthenticated
plaintext in the KDC-REP message is not protected by this mechanism.
Unless FAST is used, the factors field of a challenge message is not
integrity protected until the response is verified. Second-factor
types MUST account for this when specifying the semantics of the data
field. In particular, second-factor data in the challenge should not
be included in user prompts: it could be modified by an attacker to
contain misleading or offensive information.
Unless FAST is used, the factors field of a challenge message is
visible to an attacker, who can use it to determine whether a second
factor is required for the client.
Subsequent factor data, including the data in the response, are
encrypted in a derivative of the shared secret K. Therefore, it is
not possible to exploit the untrustworthiness of the challenge to
turn the client into an encryption or signing oracle for the second-
factor credentials, unless the attacker knows the client's long-term
key.
Unless FAST is used, any PA-SPAKE-HINT messages are unauthenticated
and are not protected by the transcript hash if they are included
when SPAKE is advertised in authentication sets. Since hints do not
replace any part of the message flow, manipulation of hint messages
can only affect the client's decision to use or not use an
authentication set, which could more easily be accomplished by
removing authentication sets entirely.
10.3. Side Channels
An implementation of the SPAKE pre-authentication mechanism can have
the property of indistinguishability, meaning that an attacker who
guesses a long-term key and a second-factor value cannot determine
whether one of the factors was correct unless both are correct.
Indistinguishability is only maintained if the second factor can be
validated solely based on the data in the response; the use of
additional round trips will reveal to the attacker whether the long-
term key is correct. Indistinguishability also requires that there
are no side channels. When the KDC processes a response message,
whether or not it decrypts the factor field, it must reply with the
same error fields, take the same amount of time, and make the same
observable communications to other servers.
Both the size of the EncryptedData and the number of EncryptedData
messages used for second-factor data (including the factor field of
the SPAKEResponse message and messages using the encdata PA-SPAKE
choice) may reveal information about the second factor used in an
authentication. Care should be taken to keep second-factor messages
as small and as few as possible.
Any side channels in the creation of the shared secret input w, or in
the multiplications wM and wN, could allow an attacker to recover the
client long-term key. Implementations MUST take care to avoid side
channels, particularly timing channels. Generation of the secret
scalar values x and y need not take constant time, but the amount of
time taken MUST NOT provide information about the resulting value.
The conversion of the scalar multiplier for the SPAKE w parameter may
produce a multiplier that is larger than the order of the group.
Some group implementations may be unable to handle such a multiplier.
Others may silently accept such a multiplier but proceed to perform
multiplication that is not constant time. This is only a minor risk
in most commonly used groups, but it is a more serious risk for P-521
due to the extra seven high bits in the input octet string. A common
solution to this problem is achieved by reducing the multiplier
modulo the group order, taking care to ensure constant time
operation.
10.4. KDC State
A stateless KDC implementation generally must use a PA-FX-COOKIE
value to remember its private scalar value x and the transcript hash.
The KDC MUST maintain confidentiality and integrity of the cookie
value, perhaps by encrypting it in a key known only to the realm's
KDCs. Cookie values may be replayed by attackers, perhaps by
splicing them into different SPAKE exchanges. The KDC SHOULD limit
the time window of replays using a timestamp, and it SHOULD prevent
cookie values from being applied to other pre-authentication
mechanisms or other client principals. Within the validity period of
a cookie, an attacker can replay the final message of a pre-
authentication exchange to any of the realm's KDCs and make it appear
that the client has authenticated.
The SPAKE pre-authentication mechanism is not designed to provide
forward secrecy. Nevertheless, some measure of forward secrecy may
result depending on implementation choices. A passive attacker who
determines the client long-term key after the exchange generally will
not be able to recover the ticket session key; however, an attacker
who also determines the PA-FX-COOKIE encryption key (if the KDC uses
an encrypted cookie) will be able to recover the ticket session key.
If the KDC or client retains the x or y value for reuse with the same
client long-term key, an attacker who recovers the x or y value and
the long-term key will be able to recover the ticket session key.
10.5. Dictionary Attacks
Although the SPAKE pre-authentication mechanism is designed to
prevent an offline dictionary attack by an active attacker posing as
the KDC, such an attacker can attempt to downgrade the client to the
encrypted timestamp pre-authentication mechanism. Client
implementations SHOULD provide a configuration option to enable or
disable the encrypted timestamp mechanism on a per-realm basis to
mitigate this attack.
If the user enters the wrong password, the client might fall back to
the encrypted timestamp mechanism after receiving a
KDC_ERR_PREAUTH_FAILED error from the KDC, if the encrypted timestamp
mechanism is offered by the KDC and not disabled by client
configuration. This fallback will enable a passive attacker to mount
an offline dictionary attack against the incorrect password, which
may be similar to the correct password. Client implementations
SHOULD assume that the encrypted timestamp and encrypted challenge
mechanisms are unlikely to succeed if SPAKE pre-authentication fails
in the second pass and SF-NONE was used.
Like any other pre-authentication mechanism using the client long-
term key, the SPAKE pre-authentication mechanism does not prevent
online password guessing attacks. The KDC is made aware of
unsuccessful guesses and can apply facilities such as rate limiting
to mitigate the risk of online attacks.
10.6. Brute-Force Attacks
The selected group's resistance to offline brute-force attacks may
not correspond to the size of the reply key. For performance
reasons, a KDC MAY select a group whose brute-force work factor is
less than the reply key length. A passive attacker who solves the
group discrete logarithm problem after the exchange will be able to
conduct an offline attack against the client long-term key. Although
the use of password policies and costly, salted string-to-key
functions may increase the cost of such an attack, the resulting cost
will likely not be higher than the cost of solving the group discrete
logarithm.
10.7. Denial-of-Service Attacks
Elliptic curve group operations are more computationally expensive
than secret-key operations. As a result, the use of this mechanism
may affect the KDC's performance under normal load and its resistance
to denial-of-service attacks.
10.8. Reflection Attacks
The encdata choice of PA-SPAKE can be used in either direction; the
factor-specific plaintext does not necessarily indicate a direction.
However, each encdata message is encrypted using a derived key K'[n],
with client-originated messages using only odd values of n and KDC-
originated messages using only even values. Therefore, an attempted
reflection attack would result in a failed decryption.
10.9. Reply Key Encryption Type
This mechanism does not upgrade the encryption type of the initial
reply key and relies on that encryption type for confidentiality,
integrity, and pseudorandom functions. If the client long-term key
uses a weak encryption type, an attacker might be able to subvert the
exchange, and the replaced reply key will also be of the same weak
encryption type.
10.10. KDC Authentication
This mechanism does not directly provide the KDC Authentication pre-
authentication facility because it does not send a key confirmation
from the KDC to the client. When used as a stand-alone mechanism,
the preexisting KDC authentication provided by the KDC-REP enc-part
still applies.
11. Assigned Constants
The following key usage values are assigned for this mechanism:

12. IANA Considerations
IANA has assigned the following number for PA-SPAKE in the "Pre-

+==========+=======+===========+
| PA-SPAKE | 151 | RFC 9588 |
+----------+-------+-----------+
Table 1
This document establishes two registries (see Sections 12.1 and 12.2)
with the following procedure, in accordance with [RFC8126]:
Registry entries are to be evaluated using the Specification Required
method. All specifications must be published prior to entry
inclusion in the registry. Once published, they can be submitted
directly to the krb5-spake-review@ietf.org mailing list, where there
will be a three-week-long review period by designated experts.
The designated experts ensure that the specification is publicly
available. They may provide additional in-depth reviews, but their
approval should not be taken as endorsement of the specification.
Prior to the end of the review period, the designated experts must
approve or deny the request. This decision is conveyed to both IANA
and the submitter. Since the mailing list archives are not public,
it should include both a reasonably detailed explanation in the case
of a denial as well as whether the request can be resubmitted.
IANA must only accept registry updates from the designated experts
and should direct all requests for registration to the review mailing
list.

Appendix B. SPAKE M and N Value Selection
The M and N values for the initial contents of the SPAKE group
registry were generated using the following Python snippet, which
assumes an elliptic curve implementation following the interface of
Edwards25519Point.stdbase() and Edwards448Point.stdbase() in
Appendix A of [RFC8032]:
def iterhash(seed, n):
h = seed
for i in range(n):
h = hashlib.sha256(h).digest()
return h
def bighash(seed, start, sz):
n = -(-sz // 32)
hashes = [iterhash(seed, i) for i in range(start, start + n)]
return b''.join(hashes)[:sz]
def canon_pointstr(ecname, s):
if ecname == 'edwards25519':
return s
elif ecname == 'edwards448':
return s[:-1] + bytes([s[-1] & 0x80])
else:
return bytes([(s[0] & 1) | 2]) + s[1:]
def gen_point(seed, ecname, ec):
for i in range(1, 1000):
hval = bighash(seed, i, len(ec.encode()))
pointstr = canon_pointstr(ecname, hval)
try:
p = ec.decode(pointstr)
if p != ec.zero_elem() and p * p.l() == ec.zero_elem():
return pointstr, i
except Exception:
pass
The initial seed strings are as follows:
* For group 1 M: edwards25519 point generation seed (M)
* For group 1 N: edwards25519 point generation seed (N)
* For group 2 M: 1.2.840.10045.3.1.7 point generation seed (M)
* For group 2 N: 1.2.840.10045.3.1.7 point generation seed (N)
* For group 3 M: 1.3.132.0.34 point generation seed (M)
* For group 3 N: 1.3.132.0.34 point generation seed (N)
* For group 4 M: 1.3.132.0.35 point generation seed (M)
* For group 4 N: 1.3.132.0.35 point generation seed (N)
Appendix C. Test Vectors
For the following text vectors:
* The key is the string-to-key of "password" with the salt
"ATHENA.MIT.EDUraeburn" for the designated initial reply key
encryption type.
* x and y were chosen randomly within the order of the designated
group, then multiplied by the cofactor.
* The SPAKESupport message contains only the designated group's
number.
* The SPAKEChallenge message offers only the SF-NONE second-factor
type.
* The KDC-REQ-BODY message does not contain KDC options, but does
contain the client principal name "raeburn@ATHENA.MIT.EDU", the
server principal name "krbtgt/ATHENA.MIT.EDU", the realm
"ATHENA.MIT.EDU", the till field "19700101000000Z", the nonce
zero, and an etype list containing only the designated encryption
type.

There are currently no encryption types with a seed size large enough
to require multiple hash blocks during key derivation with any of the
assigned hash functions. To exercise this possibility, the following
test vector illustrates what keys would be derived if there were a
copy of the edwards25519 group with group number -1 and associated
hash function SHA-1:
AES256 edwards25519 SHA-1 group number -1
