-
-
-1. Introduction
-
- This document describes the use of AES [AES]in Galois Counter Mode
- (GCM) [GCM] (AES-GCM) with various key exchange mechanisms as a
- ciphersuite for TLS. AES-GCM is not only efficient and secure, but
- hardware implementations can achieve high speeds with low cost and
- low latency, because the mode can be pipelined. Applications like
- CAPWAP, which uses DTLS, can benefit from the high-speed
- implementations when wireless termination points (WTPs) and
- controllers (ACs) have to meet requirements to support higher
- throughputs in the future. AES-GCM has been specified as a mode that
- can be used with IPsec ESP [RFC4106] and 802.1AE MAC Security
- [IEEE8021AE]. This document defines ciphersutes based on RSA, DSS
- and Diffie-Hellman key exchanges; ECC based ciphersuites are defined
- in a separate document [I-D.ietf-tls-ecc-new-mac]. AES-GCM is an
- authenticated encryption with associated data (AEAD) cipher, as
- defined in TLS 1.2 [I-D.ietf-tls-rfc4346-bis]. The ciphersuites
- defined in this draft may be used with Datagram TLS defined in
- [RFC4347]. This memo uses GCM in a way similar to
- [I-D.ietf-tls-ecc-new-mac].
-
-
-2. Conventions Used In This Document
-
- The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
- "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
- document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119]
-
-
-3. AES-GCM Cipher Suites
-
- The following ciphersuites use the new authenticated encryption modes
- defined in TLS 1.2 with AES in Galois Counter Mode (GCM) [GCM]:
-
- CipherSuite TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 = {TBD,TBD}
- CipherSuite TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 = {TBD,TBD}
- CipherSuite TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 = {TBD,TBD}
- CipherSuite TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 = {TBD,TBD}
- CipherSuite TLS_DH_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 = {TBD,TBD}
- CipherSuite TLS_DH_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 = {TBD,TBD}
- CipherSuite TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 = {TBD,TBD}
- CipherSuite TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 = {TBD,TBD}
- CipherSuite TLS_DH_DSS_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 = {TBD,TBD}
- CipherSuite TLS_DH_DSS_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 = {TBD,TBD}
- CipherSuite TLS_DH_anon_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 = {TBD,TBD}
- CipherSuite TLS_DH_anon_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 = {TBD,TBD}
-
- These ciphersuites use the AES-GCM authenticated encryption with
-
-
-
-Salowey, et al. Expires August 10, 2008 [Page 3]
-
-Internet-Draft AES-GCM Ciphersuites February 2008
-
-
- associated data (AEAD) algorithms AEAD_AES_128_GCM and
- AEAD_AES_256_GCM described in [RFC5116]. Note that each of these
- AEAD algorithms uses a 128-bit authentication tag with GCM. The
- "nonce" SHALL be 12 bytes long and it is "partially implicit" (see
- section 3.2.1 in [RFC5116]). Part of the nonce is generated as part
- of the handshake process and is static for the entire session and the
- other part is carried in each packet.
-
- Struct{
- opaque salt[4];
- opaque explicit_nonce_part[8];
- } GCMNonce
-
- The salt is the "implicit" part of the nonce and is not sent in the
- packet. It 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, therefore, for all the algorithms defined in this
- section, SecurityParameters.fixed_iv_length=4.
-
- The explicit_nonce_part is chosen by the sender and included in the
- packet. Each value of the explicit_nonce_part MUST be distinct for
- each distinct invocation of GCM encrypt function 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. For all the algorithms defined in this
- section, SecurityParameters.record_iv_length=8.
-
- In the case of TLS the explicit_nonce_part MAY be the 64-bit sequence
- number. In the case of Datagram TLS [RFC4347] the
- explicit_nonce_part MAY be formed from the concatenation of the 16-
- bit epoch with the 48-bit DTLS seq_num.
-
- The RSA, DHE_RSA, DH_RSA, DHE_DSS, DH_DSS, and DH_anon key exchanges
- are performed as defined in [I-D.ietf-tls-rfc4346-bis].
-
- The PRF algorithms SHALL be as follows:
-
- For ciphersuites ending in _SHA256 the hash function is SHA256.
-
- For ciphersuites ending in _SHA384 the hash function is SHA384.
-
-
-4. TLS Versions
-
- These ciphersuites make use of the authenticated encryption with
- additional data defined in TLS 1.2 [I-D.ietf-tls-rfc4346-bis]. They
- MUST NOT be negotiated in older versions of TLS. Clients MUST NOT
- offer these cipher suites if they do not offer TLS 1.2 or later.
-
-
-
-Salowey, et al. Expires August 10, 2008 [Page 4]
-
-Internet-Draft AES-GCM Ciphersuites February 2008
-
-
- 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.
-
-
-5. IANA Considerations
-
- IANA has assigned the following values for the ciphersuites defined
- in this draft:
-
- CipherSuite TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 = {TBD,TBD}
- CipherSuite TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 = {TBD,TBD}
- CipherSuite TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 = {TBD,TBD}
- CipherSuite TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 = {TBD,TBD}
- CipherSuite TLS_DH_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 = {TBD,TBD}
- CipherSuite TLS_DH_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 = {TBD,TBD}
- CipherSuite TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 = {TBD,TBD}
- CipherSuite TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 = {TBD,TBD}
- CipherSuite TLS_DH_DSS_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 = {TBD,TBD}
- CipherSuite TLS_DH_DSS_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 = {TBD,TBD}
- CipherSuite TLS_DH_anon_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 = {TBD,TBD}
- CipherSuite TLS_DH_anon_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 = {TBD,TBD}
-
-
-6. Security Considerations
-
- The security considerations in [I-D.ietf-tls-rfc4346-bis] apply to
- this document as well. The remainder of this section describes
- security considerations specific to the cipher suites described in
- this document.
-
-6.1. Counter Reuse
-
- AES-GCM security requires that the counter is never reused. The IV
- construction in Section 3 is designed to prevent counter reuse.
-
-6.2. Recommendations for Multiple Encryption Processors
-
- If multiple cryptographic processors are in use by the sender, then
- the sender MUST ensure that, for a particular key, each value of the
- explicit_nonce_part used with that key is distinct. In this case
- each encryption processor SHOULD include in the explicit_nonce_part a
- fixed value that is distinct for each processor. The recommended
- format is
-
-
-
-Salowey, et al. Expires August 10, 2008 [Page 5]
-
-Internet-Draft AES-GCM Ciphersuites February 2008
-
-
- explicit_nonce_part = FixedDistinct || Variable
-
- where the FixedDistinct field is distinct for each encryption
- processor, but is fixed for a given processor, and the Variable field
- is distinct for each distinct nonce used by a particular encryption
- processor. When this method is used, the FixedDistinct fields used
- by the different processors MUST have the same length.
-
- In the terms of Figure 2 in [RFC5116], the Salt is the Fixed-Common
- part of the nonce (it is fixed, and it is common across all
- encryption processors), the FixedDistinct field exactly corresponds
- to the Fixed-Distinct field, and the Variable field corresponds to
- the Counter field, and the explicit part exactly corresponds to the
- explicit_nonce_part.
-
- For clarity, we provide an example for TLS in which there are two
- distinct encryption processors, each of which uses a one-byte
- FixedDistinct field:
-
- Salt = eedc68dc
- FixedDistinct = 01 (for the first encryption processor)
- FixedDistinct = 02 (for the second encryption processor)
-
- The GCMnonces generated by the first encryption processor, and their
- corresponding explicit_nonce_parts, are:
-
- GCMNonce explicit_nonce_part
- ------------------------ ----------------------------
- eedc68dc0100000000000000 0100000000000000
- eedc68dc0100000000000001 0100000000000001
- eedc68dc0100000000000002 0100000000000002
- ...
-
- The GCMnonces generated by the second encryption processor, and their
- corresponding explicit_nonce_parts, are
-
- GCMNonce explicit_nonce_part
- ------------------------ ----------------------------
- eedc68dc0200000000000000 0200000000000000
