+Internet-Draft TLS ECC New MAC June 2007
+
+
+1. Introduction
+
+ RFC 4492 [RFC4492] describes Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) cipher
+ suites for Transport Layer Security (TLS). However, all of the RFC
+ 4492 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. This document
+ specifies TLS ECC cipher suites which replace SHA-256 and SHA-384
+ rather than SHA-1.
+
+ TLS 1.2 [I-D.ietf-tls-rfc4346-bis], adds support for authenticated
+ encryption with additional data (AEAD) cipher modes
+ [I-D.mcgrew-auth-enc]. This document also specifies a set of ECC
+ cipher suites using one such mode, Galois Counter Mode (GCM) [GCM].
+ Another document [I-D.salowey-tls-rsa-aes-gcm], provides support for
+ GCM with other key establishment methods.
+
+1.1. Conventions Used In This Document
+
+ The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
+ "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
+ document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
+
+
+2. Cipher Suites
+
+ This document defines 8 new cipher suites to be added to TLS. All
+ use Elliptic Curve Cryptography for key exchange and digital
+ signature, as defined in RFC 4492.
+
+2.1. HMAC-based Cipher Suites
+
+ The first four cipher suites use AES [AES] in CBC [CBC] mode with an
+ HMAC-based MAC:
+
+ CipherSuite TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256 = {0xXX,XX};
+ CipherSuite TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384 = {0xXX,XX};
+ CipherSuite TLS_ECDH_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256 = {0xXX,XX};
+ CipherSuite TLS_ECDH_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384 = {0xXX,XX};
+
+ These four cipher suites are the same as the corresponding cipher
+ suites in RFC 4492 (TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,
+ TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA,
+ TLS_ECDH_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, and
+ TLS_ECDH_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA) except for the hash and PRF
+ algorithms, which are SHA-256 and SHA-384 [SHS] as follows.

+ TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384 HMAC-SHA-384 P_SHA-384
+ TLS_ECDH_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256 HMAC-SHA-256 P_SHA-256
+ TLS_ECDH_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384 HMAC-SHA-384 P_SHA-384
+
+2.2. Galois Counter Mode-based Cipher Suites
+
+ The second four cipher suites use the new authenticated encryption
+ modes defined in TLS 1.2 with AES in Galois Counter Mode (GCM) [GCM]:
+
+ CipherSuite TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 = {0xXX,XX};
+ CipherSuite TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 = {0xXX,XX};
+ CipherSuite TLS_ECDH_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 = {0xXX,XX};
+ CipherSuite TLS_ECDH_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 = {0xXX,XX};
+
+ These cipher suites use authenticated encryption with additional data
+ algorithms AEAD_AES_128_GCM and AEAD_AES_256_GCM described in
+ [I-D.mcgrew-auth-enc]. The "nonce" input to the AEAD algorithm SHALL
+ be 12 bytes long, and is "partially implicit" (see Section 3.2.1 of
+ [I-D.mcgrew-auth-enc]) part of the nonce is generated as part of the
+ handshake process and is static for the entire session and part is
+ carried in each packet.
+
+ struct {
+ opaque salt[4];
+ opaque explicit_nonce_part[8];
+ } GCMNonce.
+
+ The salt value is either the client_write_IV if the client is sending
+ or the server_write_IV if the server is sending. These IVs SHALL be
+ 4 bytes long.
+
+ The explicit_nonce_part is chosen by the sender and included in the
+ packet. Each value of the explicit_nonce_part MUST be distinct from
+ all other values, for any fixed key. Failure to meet this uniqueness
+ requirement can significantly degrade security. The
+ explicit_nonce_part is carried in the IV field of the
+ GenericAEADCipher structure. Therefore, for all the algorithms
+ defined in this section, SecurityParameters.iv_length=8.
+
+ In the case of TLS the counter MAY be the 64-bit sequence number. In
+ the case of Datagram TLS [RFC4347] [NOTE: there needs to be a new
+ DTLS draft for AEAD, this is a placeholder] the counter MAY be formed
+ from the concatenation of the 16-bit epoch with the 48-bit sequence
+ number.
+
+
+

+
+Internet-Draft TLS ECC New MAC June 2007
+
+
+ The PRF algorithms SHALL be as follows:
+
+ For TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 and
+ TLS_ECDH_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 it SHALL be P_SHA-256.
+
+ For TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 and
+ TLS_ECDH_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 it SHALL be P_SHA-384.
+
+2.3. Acknowledgements
+
+ This work was supported by the US Department of Defense.
+
+ David McGrew contributed substantual sections of the GCM nonce text
+ as well as providing a review of this document.
+
+2.4. TLS Versions
+
+ Because these cipher suites depend on features available only in TLS
+ 1.2 (PRF flexibility and combined authenticated encryption cipher
+ modes), they MUST NOT be negotiated by older versions of TLS.
+ Clients MUST NOT offer these cipher suites if they do not offer TLS
+ 1.2 or later. Servers which select an earlier version of TLS MUST
+ NOT select one of these cipher suites. Because TLS has no way for
+ the client to indicate that it supports TLS 1.2 but not earlier, a
+ non-compliant server might potentially negotiate TLS 1.1 or earlier
+ and select one of the cipher suites in this document. Clients MUST
+ check the TLS version and generate a fatal "illegal_parameter" alert
+ if they detect an incorrect version.
+
+2.5. Security Considerations
+
+ The security considerations in RFC 4346 and RFC 4492 apply to this
+ document as well. The remainder of this section describes security
+ considerations specific to the cipher suites described in this
+ document.
+
+2.5.1. Downgrade Attack
+
+ TLS negotiation is only as secure as the weakest cipher suite that is
+ supported. For instance, an implementation which supports both 160-
+ bit and 256-bit elliptic curves can be subject to an active downgrade
+ attack to the 160-bit security level. An attacker who can attack
+ that can then forge the Finished handshake check and successfully
+ mount a man-in-the-middle attack.

+
+
+2.5.2. Perfect Forward Secrecy
+
+ The static ECDH cipher suites specified in this document do not
+ provide perfect forward secrecy (PFS). Thus, compromise of a single
+ static key leads to potential decryption of all traffic protected
+ using that key. Implementors of this specification SHOULD provide at
+ least one ECDHE mode of operation.
+
+2.5.3. Counter Reuse with GCM
+
+ AES-GCM is only secure if the counter is never reused. The IV
+ construction algorithm above is designed to ensure that this cannot
+ happen.
+
+2.6. IANA Considerations
+
+ IANA has assigned the following values for these cipher suites:
+
+ CipherSuite TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256 = {0xXX,XX};
+ CipherSuite TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384 = {0xXX,XX};
+ CipherSuite TLS_ECDH_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256 = {0xXX,XX};
+ CipherSuite TLS_ECDH_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384 = {0xXX,XX};
+ CipherSuite TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 = {0xXX,XX};
+ CipherSuite TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 = {0xXX,XX};
+ CipherSuite TLS_ECDH_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 = {0xXX,XX};
+ CipherSuite TLS_ECDH_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 = {0xXX,XX};
