Dynamic Symmetric Key Provisioning Protocol (DSKPP)
draft-ietf-keyprov-dskpp-11.txt

Abstract

DSKPP is a client-server protocol for initialization (and configuration) of symmetric keys to locally and remotely accessible cryptographic modules. The protocol can be run with or without private-key capabilities in the cryptographic modules, and with or without an established public-key infrastructure.

Two variations of the protocol support multiple usage scenarios. With the four-pass variant, keys are mutually generated by the provisioning server and cryptographic module; provisioned keys are not transferred over-the-wire or over-the-air. The two-pass variant enables secure and efficient download and installation of pre-generated symmetric keys to a cryptographic module.

This document builds on information contained in [RFC4758] (RSA, The Security Division of EMC, “Cryptographic Token Key Initialization Protocol (CT-KIP),” November 2006.), adding specific enhancements in response to implementation experience and liaison requests.

1.  Introduction

Symmetric key based cryptographic systems (e.g., those providing authentication mechanisms such as one-time passwords and challenge-response) offer performance and operational advantages over public key schemes. Such use requires a mechanism for provisioning of symmetric keys providing equivalent functionality to mechanisms such as CMP [RFC4210] (Adams, C., Farrell, S., Kause, T., and T. Mononen, “Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure Certificate Management Protocol (CMP),” September 2005.) and CMC [RFC5272] (Schaad, J. and M. Myers, “Certificate Management over CMS (CMC),” June 2008.) in a Public Key Infrastructure.

Traditionally, cryptographic modules have been provisioned with keys during device manufacturing, and the keys have been imported to the cryptographic server using, e.g., a CD-ROM disc shipped with the devices. Some vendors also have proprietary provisioning protocols, which often have not been publicly documented (CT-KIP is one exception [RFC4758] (RSA, The Security Division of EMC, “Cryptographic Token Key Initialization Protocol (CT-KIP),” November 2006.)).

This document describes the Dynamic Symmetric Key Provisioning Protocol (DSKPP), a client-server protocol for provisioning symmetric keys between a cryptographic module (corresponding to DSKPP client) and a key provisioning server (corresponding to DSKPP server).

DSKPP provides an open and interoperable mechanism for initializing and configuring symmetric keys to cryptographic modules that are accessible over the Internet. The description is based on the information contained in [RFC4758] (RSA, The Security Division of EMC, “Cryptographic Token Key Initialization Protocol (CT-KIP),” November 2006.), and contains specific enhancements, such as User Authentication and support for the [PSKC] (, “Portable Symmetric Key Container,” 2008.) format for transmission of keying material.

DSKPP has two principal protocol variants. The four-pass protocol variant permits a symmetric key to be established that includes randomness contributed by both the client and the server. The two-pass protocol requires only one round trip instead of two and permits a server specified key to be established.

1.1.  Key Words

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] (, “Key words for use in RFCs to Indicate Requirement Levels,” March 1997.).



 TOC 

1.2.  Versions

There is a provision made in the syntax for an explicit version number. Only version "1.0" is currently specified.

The purpose for versioning the protocol is to provide a mechanism by which changes to required cryptographic algorithms (e.g., SHA-256) and attributes (e.g., key size) can be deployed without disrupting existing implementations; likewise, out-dated implementations can be de-commissioned without disrupting operations involving newer protocol versions.



 TOC 

1.3.  Namespace Identifiers

This document uses Uniform Resource Identifiers [RFC2396] (Berners-Lee, T., Fielding, R., and L. Masinter, “Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI): Generic Syntax,” August 1998.) to identify resources, algorithms, and semantics.



 TOC 

1.3.1.  Defined Identifiers

The XML namespace [XMLNS] (W3C, “Namespaces in XML,” January 1999.) URI for Version 1.0 of DSKPP protocol is:

xmlns:dskpp="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:keyprov:dskpp"

References to qualified elements in the DSKPP schema defined herein use the prefix "dskpp".



 TOC 

1.3.2.  Identifiers Defined in Related Specifications

This document relies on qualified elements already defined in the Portable Symmetric Key Container [PSKC] (, “Portable Symmetric Key Container,” 2008.) namespace, which is represented by the prefix "pskc" and declared as:

xmlns:pskc="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:keyprov:pskc"



 TOC 

1.3.3.  Referenced Identifiers

Finally, the DSKPP syntax presented in this document relies on algorithm identifiers defined in the XML Signature [XMLDSIG] (W3C, “XML Signature Syntax and Processing,” February 2002.) namespace:

xmlns:ds="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#"

References to algorithm identifiers in the XML Signature namespace are represented by the prefix "ds".

3.  DSKPP Overview

The following sub-sections provide a high-level view of protocol internals and how they interact with external provisioning applications. Usage scenarios are provided in Appendix A (Usage Scenarios).



 TOC 

3.1.  Protocol Entities

A DSKPP provisioning transaction has three entities:

Server:
The DSKPP provisioning server.
Cryptographic Module:
The cryptographic module to which the symmetric keys are to be provisioned, e.g., an authentication token.
Client:
The DSKPP client which manages communication between the cryptographic module and the key provisioning server.

The principal syntax is XML and it is layered on a transport mechanism such as HTTP. While it is highly desirable for the entire communication between the DSKPP client and server to be protected by means of a transport providing confidentiality and integrity protection such as HTTP over Transport Layer Security (TLS), such protection is not sufficient to protect the exchange of the symmetric key data between the server and the cryptographic module and the DSKPP protocol is designed to permit implementations that satisfy this requirement.

The server only communicates to the client. As far as the server is concerned, the client and cryptographic module may be considered to be a single entity.

From a client-side security perspective, however, the client and the cryptographic module are separate logical entities and may in some implementations be separate physical entities as well.

It is assumed that a device will host an application layered above the cryptographic module, and this application will manage communication between the DSKPP client and cryptographic module. The manner in which the communicating application will transfer DSKPP protocol elements to and from the cryptographic module is transparent to the DSKPP server. One method for this transfer is described in [CT‑KIP‑P11] (RSA Laboratories, “PKCS #11 Mechanisms for the Cryptographic Token Key Initialization Protocol,” December 2005.).

3.2.  Basic DSKPP Exchange



 TOC 

3.2.1.  User Authentication

In a DSKPP message flow, the user has obtained a new hardware or software device embedded with a cryptographic module. The goal of DSKPP is to provision the same symmetric key and related information to the cryptographic module and the key management server, and associate the key with the correct user name (or other account identifier) on the server. To do this, the DSKPP Server MUST authenticate the user to be sure he is authorized for the new key.

User authentication occurs within the protocol itself after the DSKPP client initiates the first message. In this case, the DSKPP client MUST have access to the DSKPP Server URL.

Alternatively, a DSKPP web service or other form of web application can authenticate a user before the first message is exchanged. In this case, the DSKPP server MUST trigger the DSKPP client to initiate the first message in the protocol transaction.



 TOC 

3.2.2.  Protocol Initiated by the DSKPP Client

In the following example, the DSKPP client first initiates DSKPP, and then the user is authenticated using a Client ID and Authentication Code.

 Figure 1: Basic DSKPP Exchange 

Before DSKPP begins:

In Step 1, the client establishes a TLS connection, and authenticates the server (that is, validates the certificate, and compares the host name in the URL with the certificate).

Next, the DSKPP Client and DSKPP Server exchange DSKPP messages (which are sent over HTTPS). In these messages:

After the protocol run has been successfully completed, the cryptographic modules stores the contents of the key package. Likewise, the DSKPP provisioning server stores the contents of the key package with the cryptographic server, and associates these with the correct user name. The user can now use the their device to perform symmetric-key based operations.

The exact division of work between the cryptographic module and the DSKPP client -- and key Provisioning server and DSKPP server -- are not specified in this document. The figure above shows one possible case, but this is intended for illustrative purposes only.

3.2.3.  Protocol Triggered by the DSKPP Server

In the first message flow (previous section), the Client ID and Authentication Code were delivered to the client by some out-of-band means (such as paper sent to the user).

 Figure 2: DSKPP Exchange with Web-Based Authentication 

In the second message flow, the user first authenticates to a web server (for example, IT department's "self-service" Intranet page), using an ordinary web browser and some existing credentials.

The user then requests (by clicking a link or submitting a form) provisioning of a new key to the cryptographic module. The web server will reply with a <KeyProvTrigger> message that contains the Client ID, Authentication Code, and URL of the DSKPP server. This information is also needed by the DSKPP server; how the web server and DSKPP server interact is beyond the scope of this document.

The <KeyProvTrigger> message is sent in a HTTP response, and it is marked with MIME type "application/vnd.ietf.keyprov.dskpp+xml". It is assumed the web browser has been configured to recognize this MIME type; the browser will start the DSKPP client, and provides it with the <KeyProvTrigger> message.

The DSKPP client then contacts the DSKPP server, and uses the Client ID and Authentication Code (from the <KeyProvTrigger> message) the same way as in the first message flow.

3.2.4.  Variants

As noted in the previous section, once the protocol has started, the client and server MAY engage in either a two-pass or four-pass message exchange. The four-pass and two-pass protocols are appropriate in different deployment scenarios. The biggest differentiator between the two is that the two-pass protocol supports transport of an existing key to a cryptographic module, while the four-pass involves key generation on-the-fly via key agreement. In either case, both protocol variants support algorithm agility through negotiation of encryption mechanisms and key types at the beginning of each protocol run.

 TOC 

3.3.  Status Codes

Upon transmission or receipt of a message for which the Status attribute's value is not "Success" or "Continue", the default behavior, unless explicitly stated otherwise below, is that both the DSKPP server and the DSKPP client MUST immediately terminate the DSKPP protocol run. DSKPP servers and DSKPP clients MUST delete any secret values generated as a result of failed runs of the DSKPP protocol. Session identifiers MAY be retained from successful or failed protocol runs for replay detection purposes, but such retained identifiers MUST NOT be reused for subsequent runs of the protocol.

When possible, the DSKPP client SHOULD present an appropriate error message to the user.

These status codes are valid in all DSKPP Response messages unless explicitly stated otherwise:

Continue:
The DSKPP server is ready for a subsequent request from the DSKPP client. It cannot be sent in the server's final message
Success:
Successful completion of the DSKPP session. It can only be sent in the server's final message
Abort:
The DSKPP server rejected the DSKPP client's request for unspecified reasons
AccessDenied:
The DSKPP client is not authorized to contact this DSKPP server
MalformedRequest:
The DSKPP server failed to parse the DSKPP client's request
UnknownRequest:
The DSKPP client made a request that is unknown to the DSKPP server
UnknownCriticalExtension:
A critical DSKPP extension (see below) used by the DSKPP client was not supported or recognized by the DSKPP server
UnsupportedVersion:
The DSKPP client used a DSKPP protocol version not supported by the DSKPP server. This error is only valid in the DSKPP server's first response message
NoSupportedKeyTypes:
"NoSupportedKeyTypes" indicates that the DSKPP client only suggested key types that are not supported by the DSKPP server. This error is only valid in the DSKPP server's first response message
NoSupportedEncryptionAlgorithms:
The DSKPP client only suggested encryption algorithms that are not supported by the DSKPP server. This error is only valid in the DSKPP server's first response message
NoSupportedMacAlgorithms:
The DSKPP client only suggested MAC algorithms that are not supported by the DSKPP server. This error is only valid in the DSKPP server's first response message
NoProtocolVariants:
The DSKPP client only suggested a protocol variant (either 2-pass or 4-pass) that is not supported by the DSKPP server. This error is only valid in the DSKPP server's first response message
NoSupportedKeyPackages:
The DSKPP client only suggested key package formats that are not supported by the DSKPP server. This error is only valid in the DSKPP server's first response message
AuthenticationDataMissing:
The DSKPP client didn't provide authentication data that the DSKPP server required
AuthenticationDataInvalid:
The DSKPP client supplied user authentication data that the DSKPP server failed to validate
InitializationFailed:
The DSKPP server could not generate a valid key given the provided data. When this status code is received, the DSKPP client SHOULD try to restart DSKPP, as it is possible that a new run will succeed
ProvisioningPeriodExpired:
The provisioning period set by the DSKPP server has expired. When the status code is received, the DSKPP client SHOULD report the reason for key initialization failure to the user and the user MUST register with the DSKPP server to initialize a new key


 TOC 

3.4.  Basic Constructs

The following calculations are used in both DSKPP protocol variants.



 TOC 

3.4.1.  User Authentication Data, AD

User authentication data (AD) is derived from a Client ID and Authentication Code that the user enters before the first DSKPP message is sent.

Note: The user will typically enter the Client ID and Authentication Code manually, possibly on a device with only numeric keypad. Thus, they are often short numeric values (for example, 8 decimal digits). However, the DSKPP Server is free to generate them in any way it wishes.



 TOC 

3.4.1.1.  Authentication Code Format

AC is encoded in Type-Length-Value (TLV) format. The format consists of a minimum of two TLVs and a variable number of additional TLVs, depending on implementation.

The TLV fields are defined as follows:

Type (1 byte)
The integer value identifying the type of information contained in the value field.
Length (1 byte)
The length, in hexadecimal, of the value field to follow.
Value (variable length)
A variable-length hexadecimal value containing the instance-specific information for this TLV.

A 1 byte type field identifies the specific TLV, and a 1 byte length, in hexadecimal, indicates the length of the value field contained in the TLV. A TLV MUST start on a 4 byte boundary. Pad bytes MUST be placed at the end of the previous TLV in order to align the next TLV. These pad bytes are not counted in the length field of the TLV.

The following table summarizes the TLVs defined in this document. Optional TLVs are allowed for vendor-specific extensions with the constraint that the high bit MUST be set to indicate a vendor-specific type. Other TLVs are left for later revisions of this protocol.

+------+------------+-------------------------------------------+
| Type | TLV Name   | Conformance | Example Usage               |
+------+------------+-------------------------------------------+
|  1   | Client ID  | Mandatory   | { "AC00000A" }              |
+------+------------+-------------+-----------------------------+
|  2   | Password   | Mandatory   | { "3582" }                  |
+------+------------+-------------+-----------------------------+
|  3   | Checksum   | Optional    | { 0x5F8D }                  |
+------+------------+-------------+-----------------------------+

The Client ID is a mandatory TLV that represents the requester's identifier of maximum length 128. The value is represented as an ASCII string that identifies the key request. The ClientID MUST be HEX encoded. For example, suppose ClientID is set to "AC00000A", the hexadecimal equivalent is 0x4143303030303041, resulting in a TLV of {0x1, 0x8, 0x4143303030303041}.

The Password is a mandatory TLV the contains a one-time use shared secret known by the user and the Provisioning Server. The password value is unique and SHOULD be a random string to make AC more difficult to guess. The string MUST be UTF-8 encoded in accordance with [RFC3629] (Yergeau, F., “UTF-8, a transformation format of ISO10646,” November 2003.). For example, suppose password is set to "3582", then the TLV would be {0x2, 0x4, UTF-8("3582")}.

The Checksum is an OPTIONAL TLV, which is generated by the issuing server and sent to the user as part of the AC. If the TLV is provided, the checksum value MUST be computed using the CRC16 algorithm [ISO3309] (, “ISO Information Processing Systems - Data Communication - High-Level Data Link Control Procedure - Frame Structure,” October 1984.). When the user enters the AC, the typed password is verified with the checksum to ensure it is correctly entered by the user. For example, suppose the Password is set to "3582", then the CRC16 calculation would generate a checksum of 0x5F8D, resulting in TLV {0x3, 0x2, 0x5F8D}.



 TOC 

3.4.1.2.  User Authentication Data Calculation

The Authentication Data consists of a Client ID (extracted from the AC) and a value, which is derived from AC as follows (refer to Section 3.4.2 (The DSKPP One-Way Pseudorandom Function, DSKPP-PRF) for a description of DSKPP-PRF in general and Appendix D (Example of DSKPP-PRF Realizations) for a description of DSKPP-PRF-AES):

MAC = DSKPP-PRF(K_AC, AC->ClientID||URL_S||R_C||[R_S], 16)

In four-pass DSKPP, the cryptographic module uses R_C, R_S, and URL_S to calculate the MAC, where URL_S is the URL the DSKPP client uses when contacting the DSKPP server. In two-pass DSKPP, the cryptographic module does not have access to R_S, therefore only R_C is used in combination with URL_S to produce the MAC. In either case, K_AC MUST be derived from AC->password as follows [PKCS‑5] (RSA Laboratories, “Password-Based Cryptography Standard,” March 1999.):

K_AC = PBKDF2(AC->password, R_C || K, iter_count, 16)

One of the following values for K MUST be used:

a.
In four-pass:
  • The public key of the DSKPP server (K_SERVER), or (in the pre-shared key variant) the pre-shared key between the client and the server (K_SHARED)

b.
In two-pass:
  • The public key of the DSKPP client, or the public key of the device when a device certificate is available
  • The pre-shared key between the client and the server (K_SHARED)
  • A passphrase-derived key


The iteration count, iter_count, MUST be set to at least 100,000 except in the last two two-pass cases (where K is set to K_SHARED or a passphrase-derived key), in which case iter_count MUST be set to 1.



 TOC 

3.4.2.  The DSKPP One-Way Pseudorandom Function, DSKPP-PRF

Regardless of the protocol variant employed, there is a requirement for a cryptographic primitive that provides a deterministic transformation of a secret key k and a varying length octet string s to a bit string of specified length dsLen.

This primitive must meet the same requirements as for a keyed hash function: It MUST take an arbitrary length input, and generate an output that is one-way and collision-free (for a definition of these terms, see, e.g., [FAQ] (RSA Laboratories, “Frequently Asked Questions About Today's Cryptography,” 2000.)). Further, its output MUST be unpredictable even if other outputs for the same key are known.

From the point of view of this specification, DSKPP-PRF is a "black-box" function that, given the inputs, generates a pseudorandom value and MAY be realized by any appropriate and competent cryptographic technique. Appendix D (Example of DSKPP-PRF Realizations) contains two example realizations of DSKPP-PRF.

DSKPP-PRF(k, s, dsLen)

Input:

k
secret key in octet string format
s
octet string of varying length consisting of variable data distinguishing the particular string being derived
dsLen
desired length of the output

Output:

DS
pseudorandom string, dsLen-octets long

For the purposes of this document, the secret key k MUST be at least 16 octets long.



 TOC 

3.4.3.  The DSKPP Message Hash Algorithm

When sending its last message in a protocol run, the DSKPP server generates a MAC that is used by the client for key confirmation. Computation of the MAC MUST include a hash of all DSKPP messages sent by the client and server during the transaction. To compute a message hash for the MAC given a sequence of DSKPP messages msg_1, ..., msg_n, the following operations MUST be carried out:

a.
The sequence of messages contains all DSKPP Request and Response messages up to but not including this message.
b.
Re-transmitted messages are removed from the sequence of messages.Note: The resulting sequence of messages MUST be an alternating sequence of DSKPP Request and DSKPP Response messages
c.
The contents of each message is concatenated together.
d.
The resultant string is hashed using SHA-256 in accordance with [FIPS180‑SHA] (National Institute of Standards and Technology, “Secure Hash Standard,” February 2004.).

4.  Four-Pass Protocol Usage

This section describes the methods and message flow that comprise the four-pass protocol variant. Four-pass DSKPP depends on a client-server key agreement mechanism.



 TOC 

4.1.  The Key Agreement Mechanism

With 4-pass DSKPP, the symmetric key that is the target of provisioning, is generated on-the-fly without being transferred between the DSKPP client and DSKPP server. The data flow and computation are described below.

4.1.1.  Data Flow

A sample data flow showing key generation during the 4-pass protocol is shown in Figure 3 (Principal data flow for DSKPP key generation - using public server key).

      DSKPP Server                              DSKPP Client
 Figure 3: Principal data flow for DSKPP key generation - using public server key 

The inclusion of the two random nonces (R_S and R_C) in the key generation provides assurance to both sides (the cryptographic module and the DSKPP server) that they have contributed to the key's randomness and that the key is unique. The inclusion of the encryption key (K) ensures that no man-in-the-middle may be present, or else the cryptographic module will end up with a key different from the one stored by the legitimate DSKPP server.

Conceptually, although R_C is one pseudorandom string, it may be viewed as consisting of two components, R_C1 and R_C2, where R_C1 is generated during the protocol run, and R_C2 can be pre-generated and loaded on the cryptographic module before the device is issued to the user. In that case, the latter string, R_C2, SHOULD be unique for each cryptographic module.

A man-in-the-middle (in the form of corrupt client software or a mistakenly contacted server) may present his own public key to the cryptographic module. This will enable the attacker to learn the client's version of K_TOKEN. However, the attacker is not able to persuade the legitimate server to derive the same value for K_TOKEN, since K_TOKEN is a function of the public key involved, and the attacker's public key must be different than the correct server's (or else the attacker would not be able to decrypt the information received from the client). Therefore, once the attacker is no longer "in the middle," the client and server will detect that they are "out of sync" when they try to use their keys. In the case of encrypting R_C with K_SERVER, it is therefore important to verify that K_SERVER really is the legitimate server's key. One way to do this is to independently validate a newly generated K_TOKEN against some validation service at the server (e.g. using a connection independent from the one used for the key generation).



 TOC 

4.1.2.  Computation

In DSKPP, the client and server both generate K_TOKEN and K_MAC by deriving them from a provisioning key (K_PROV) using the DSKPP-PRF function (refer to Section 3.4.2 (The DSKPP One-Way Pseudorandom Function, DSKPP-PRF)) as follows:

K_PROV = DSKPP-PRF(k,s,dsLen), where

k = R_C (i.e., the secret random value chosen by the DSKPP client)

s = "Key generation" || K || R_S (where K is the key used to encrypt R_C and R_S is the random value chosen by the DSKPP server)

dsLen = (desired length of K_PROV whose first half constitutes K_MAC and second half constitutes K_TOKEN)

Then K_TOKEN and K_MAC are derived from K_PROV, where

K_PROV = K_MAC || K_TOKEN

When computing K_PROV, the derived keys, K_MAC and K_TOKEN, MAY be subject to an algorithm-dependent transform before being adopted as a key of the selected type. One example of this is the need for parity in DES keys.



 TOC 

4.2.  Message Flow

The four-pass protocol flow consists of two message exchanges:

1:
Pass 1 = <KeyProvClientHello>, Pass 2 = <KeyProvServerHello>
2:
Pass 3 = <KeyProvClientNonce>, Pass 4 = <KeyProvServerFinished>

The first pair of messages negotiate cryptographic algorithms and exchange nonces. The second pair of messages establishes a symmetric key using mutually authenticated key agreement.

The purpose and content of each message are described below. XML format and examples are in Section 8 (DSKPP XML Schema) and Appendix B (Examples).

When this message is sent:

The "trigger" message is optional. The DSKPP server sends this message after the following out-of-band steps are performed:

1.
A user directed their browser to a key provisioning web application and signs in (i.e., authenticates)
2.
The user requests a key
3.
The web application processes the request and returns an authentication code to the user, e.g., in the form of an email message
4.
The web application retrieves the authentication code from the user (possibly by asking the user to enter it using a web form, or alternatively by the user selecting a URL in which the authentication code is embedded)
5.
The web application derives authentication data (AD) from the authentication code as described in Section 3.4.1 (User Authentication Data, AD)
6.
The web application passes AD, and possibly a DeviceID (identifies a particular device to which the key MUST be provisioned) and/or KeyID (identifies a key that will be replaced) to the DSKPP server

Purpose of this message:

To start a DSKPP session: The DSKPP server uses this message to trigger a client-side application to send the first DSKPP message.

To provide a way for the key provisioning system to get the DSKPP server URL to the DSKPP client.

So the key provisioning system can point the DSKPP client to a particular cryptographic module that was pre-configured in the DSKPP provisioning server.

In the case of key renewal, to identify the key to be replaced.

What is contained in this message:

AD MUST be provided to allow the DSKPP server to authenticate the user before completing the protocol run.

A DeviceID MAY be included to allow a key provisioning application to bind the provisioned key to a specific device.

A KeyID MAY be included to allow the key provisioning application to identify a key to be replaced, e.g., in the case of key renewal.

The Server URL MAY be included to allow the key provisioning application to inform the DSKPP client of which server to contact

        SAL, [AD],
        [DeviceID], [KeyID]     --->

When this message is sent:

When a DSKPP client first connects to a DSKPP server, it is required to send the <KeyProvClientHello> as its first message. The client can also send a <KeyProvClientHello> in response to a <KeyProvTrigger>.

What is contained in this message:

The Security Attribute List (SAL) included with <KeyProvClientHello> contains the combinations of DSKPP versions, variants, key package formats, key types, and cryptographic algorithms that the DSKPP client supports in order of the client's preference (favorite choice first).

If <KeyProvClientHello> was preceded by a <KeyProvTrigger>, then this message MUST also include the Authentication (AD), DeviceID, and/or KeyID that was provided with the trigger.

If <KeyProvClientHello> was not preceded by a <KeyProvTrigger>, then this message MAY contain a device ID that was pre-shared with the DSKPP server, and a key ID associated with a key previously provisioned by the DSKPP provisioning server.

Application note:

If this message is preceded by trigger message <KeyProvTrigger>, then the application will already have AD available (see Section 4.2.1 (KeyProvTrigger)). However, if this message was not preceded by <KeyProvTrigger>, then the application MUST retrieve the user authentication code, possibly by prompting the user to manually enter their authentication code, e.g., on a device with only a numeric keypad.

The application MUST also derive Authentication Data (AD) from the authentication code, as described in Section 3.4.1 (User Authentication Data, AD), and save it for use in its next message, <KeyProvClientNonce>.

How the DSKPP server uses this message:

The DSKPP server will look for an acceptable combination of DSKPP version, variant (in this case, four-pass), key package format, key type, and cryptographic algorithms. If the DSKPP Client's SAL does not match the capabilities of the DSKPP Server, or does not comply with key provisioning policy, then the DSKPP Server will set the Status attribute to something other than "Continue". Otherwise, Status will be set to "Continue".

If included in <KeyProvClientHello>, the DSKPP server will validate the Authentication Data (AD), DeviceID, and KeyID. The DSKPP server MUST NOT accept the DeviceID unless the server sent the DeviceID in a preceding trigger message. Note that it is also legitimate for a DSKPP client to initiate the DSKPP protocol run without having received a <KeyProvTrigger> message from a server, but in this case any provided DeviceID MUST NOT be accepted by the DSKPP server unless the server has access to a unique key for the identified device and that key will be used in the protocol.

                              <---    SAL, R_S, [K], [MAC]

When this message is sent:

The DSKPP server will send this message in response to a <KeyProvClientHello> message after it looks for an acceptable combination of DSKPP version, variant (in this case, four-pass), key package format, key type, and set of cryptographic algorithms. If it could not find an acceptable combination, then it will still send the message, but with a failure status.

Purpose of this message:

With this message, the context for the protocol run is set. Furthermore, the DSKPP server uses this message to transmit a random nonce, which is required for each side to agree upon the same symmetric key (K_TOKEN).

What is contained in this message:

A status attribute equivalent to the server's return code to <KeyProvClientHello>. If the server found an acceptable set of attributes from the client's SAL, then it sets status to Continue and returns an SAL (selected from the SAL that it received in <KeyProvClientHello>). The Server's SAL specifies the DSKPP version and variant (in this case, four-pass), key type, cryptographic algorithms, and key package format that the DSKPP Client MUST use for the remainder of the protocol run.

A random nonce (R_S) for use in generating a symmetric key through key agreement; the length of R_S may depend on the selected key type.

A key (K) for the DSKPP Client to use for encrypting the client nonce included with <KeyProvClientNonce>. K represents the server's public key (K_SERVER) or a pre-shared secret key (K_SHARED).

A MAC MUST be present if a key is being renewed so that the DSKPP client can confirm that the replacement key came from a trusted server. This MAC MUST be computed using DSKPP-PRF (see Section 3.4.2 (The DSKPP One-Way Pseudorandom Function, DSKPP-PRF)), where the input parameter k MUST be set to the existing MAC key K_MAC' (i.e., the value of the MAC key that existed before this protocol run; the implementation MAY specify K_MAC' to be the value of the K_TOKEN that is being replaced, or a version of K_MAC from the previous protocol run), and input parameter dsLen MUST be set to the length of R_S.

How the DSKPP client uses this message:

When the Status attribute is not set to "Continue", this indicates failure and the DSKPP client MUST abort the protocol.

If successful execution of the protocol will result in the replacement of an existing key with a newly generated one, the DSKPP client MUST verify the MAC provided in <KeyProvServerHello>. The DSKPP client MUST terminate the DSKPP session if the MAC does not verify, and MUST delete any nonces, keys, and/or secrets associated with the failed run.

If Status is set to "Continue" the cryptographic module generates a random nonce (R_C) using the cryptographic algorithm specified in the SAL. The length of the nonce R_C will depend on the selected key type.

Encrypt R_C using K and the encryption algorithm included in the SAL.

The method the DSKPP client MUST use to encrypt R_C:

If K is equivalent to K_SERVER (i.e., the public key of the DSKPP server), then an RSA encryption scheme from PKCS #1 [PKCS‑1] (RSA Laboratories, “RSA Cryptography Standard,” June 2002.) MAY be used. If K is equivalent to K_SERVER, then the cryptographic module SHOULD verify the server's certificate before using it to encrypt R_C in accordance with [RFC5280] (Cooper, D., Santesson, S., Farrell, S., Boeyen, S., Housley, R., and W. Polk, “Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure Certificate and Certificate Revocation List (CRL) Profile,” May 2008.).

If K is equivalent to K_SHARED, the DSKPP client MAY use the DSKPP-PRF function to avoid dependence on other algorithms. In this case, the client uses K_SHARED as input parameter k (K_SHARED SHOULD be used solely for this purpose) as follows:

dsLen = len(R_C), where "len" is the length of R_C
DS = DSKPP-PRF(K_SHARED, "Encryption" || R_S, dsLen)

This will produce a pseudorandom string DS of length equal to R_C. Encryption of R_C MAY then be achieved by XOR-ing DS with R_C:

E(DS, R_C) = DS ^ R_C

The DSKPP server will then perform the reverse operation to extract R_C from E(DS, R_C).

        ------------                         ------------
        E(K,R_C), AD          --->

When this message is sent:

The DSKPP client will send this message immediately following a <KeyProvServerHello> message whose status was set to "Continue".

Purpose of this message:

With this message the DSKPP client transmits user authentication data (AD) and a random nonce encrypted with the DSKPP server's key (K). The client's random nonce is required for each side to agree upon the same symmetric key (K_TOKEN).

What is contained in this message:

Authentication Data (AD) that was derived from an authentication code entered by the user before <KeyProvClientHello> was sent (refer to Section 3.2 (Basic DSKPP Exchange)).

The DSKPP client's random nonce (R_C), which was encrypted as described in Section 4.2.3 (KeyProvServerHello).

How the DSKPP server uses this message:

The DSKPP server MUST use AD to authenticate the user. If authentication fails, then the DSKPP server MUST set the return code to a failure status.

If user authentication passes, the DSKPP server decrypts R_C using its key (K). The decryption method is based on whether K that was transmitted to the client in <KeyProvServerHello> was equal to the server's public key (K_SERVER) or a pre-shared key (K_SHARED) (refer to Section 4.2.3 (KeyProvServerHello) for a description of how the DSKPP client encrypts R_C).

After extracting R_C, the DSKPP server computes K_TOKEN using a combination of the two random nonces R_S and R_C and its encryption key, K, as described in Section 4.1.2 (Computation). The particular realization of DSKPP-PRF (e.g., those defined in Appendix D (Example of DSKPP-PRF Realizations) depends on the MAC algorithm contained in the <KeyProvServerHello> message. The DSKPP server then generates a key package that contains key usage attributes such as expiry date and length. The key package MUST NOT include K_TOKEN since in the four-pass variant K_TOKEN is never transmitted between the DSKPP server and client. The server stores K_TOKEN and the key package with the user's account on the cryptographic server.


Finally, the server generates a key confirmation MAC that the client will use to avoid a false "Commit" message that would cause the cryptographic module to end up in state in which the server does not recognize the stored key.

The MAC used for key confirmation MUST be calculated as follows:

msg_hash = SHA-256(msg_1, ..., msg_n)

dsLen = len(msg_hash)

MAC = DSKPP-PRF (K_MAC, "MAC 1 computation" || msg_hash, dsLen)

where

MAC
The DSKPP Pseudo-Random Function defined in Section 3.4.2 (The DSKPP One-Way Pseudorandom Function, DSKPP-PRF) is used to compute the MAC. The particular realization of DSKPP-PRF (e.g., those defined in Appendix D (Example of DSKPP-PRF Realizations) depends on the MAC algorithm contained in the <KeyProvServerHello> message. The MAC MUST be computed using the existing MAC key (K_MAC), and a string that is formed by concatenating the (ASCII) string "MAC 1 computation" and a msg_hash
K_MAC
The key derived from K_PROV, as described in Section 4.1.2 (Computation).
msg_hash
The message hash (defined in Section 3.4.3 (The DSKPP Message Hash Algorithm)) of messages msg_1, ..., msg_n.

4.2.5.  KeyProvServerFinished

        DSKPP Client                         DSKPP Server
        ------------                         ------------
                               <---               KP, MAC

When this message is sent:

The DSKPP server will send this message after authenticating the user and, if authentication passed, generating K_TOKEN and a key package, and associating them with the user's account on the cryptographic server.

Purpose of this message:

With this message the DSKPP server confirms generation of the key (K_TOKEN), and transmits the associated identifier and application-specific attributes, but not the key itself, in a key package to the client for protocol completion.

What is contained in this message:

A status attribute equivalent to the server's return code to <KeyProvClientNonce>. If user authentication passed, and the server successfully computed K_TOKEN, generated a key package, and associated them with the user's account on the cryptographic server, then it sets Status to Continue.

If status is Continue, then this message acts as a "commit" message, instructing the cryptographic module to store the generated key (K_TOKEN) and associate the given key identifier with this key. As such, a key package (KP) MUST be included in this message, which holds an identifier for the generated key (but not the key itself) and additional configuration, e.g., the identity of the DSKPP server, key usage attributes, etc. The default symmetric key package format MUST be based on the Portable Symmetric Key Container (PSKC) defined in [PSKC] (, “Portable Symmetric Key Container,” 2008.). Alternative formats MAY include [SKPC‑ASN.1] (, “Symmetric Key Package Content Type,” 2007.), PKCS#12 [PKCS‑12] (, “Personal Information Exchange Syntax Standard,” 2005.), or PKCS#5 XML [PKCS‑5‑XML] (RSA Laboratories, “XML Schema for PKCS #5 Version 2.0,” October 2006.) format.

With KP, the server includes a key confirmation MAC that the client uses to avoid a false "Commit". The MAC algorithm is the same DSKPP-PRF that was sent in the <KeyProvServerHello> message.

How the DSKPP client uses this message:

When the Status attribute is not set to "Continue", this indicates failure and the DSKPP client MUST abort the protocol.

After receiving a <KeyProvServerFinished> message with Status = "Success", the DSKPP client MUST verify the key confirmation MAC that was transmitted with this message. The DSKPP client MUST terminate the DSKPP session if the MAC does not verify, and MUST, in this case, also delete any nonces, keys, and/or secrets associated with the failed run of the protocol.

If <KeyProvServerFinished> has Status = "Success" and the MAC was verified, then the DSKPP client MUST calculate K_TOKEN from the combination of the two random nonces R_S and R_C and the server's encryption key, K, as described in Section 4.1.2 (Computation). The DSKPP-PRF is the same one used for MAC computation. The DSKPP client associates the key package contained in <KeyProvServerFinished> with the generated key, K_TOKEN, and stores this data permanently on the cryptographic module.

After this operation, it MUST NOT be possible to overwrite the key unless knowledge of an authorizing key is proven through a MAC on a later <KeyProvServerHello> (and <KeyProvServerFinished>) message.

5.  Two-Pass Protocol Usage

This section describes the methods and message flow that comprise the two-pass protocol variant. Two-pass DSKPP is essentially a transport of keying material from the DSKPP server to the DSKPP client. The DSKPP server transmits keying material in a key package formatted in accordance with [PSKC] (, “Portable Symmetric Key Container,” 2008.), [SKPC‑ASN.1] (, “Symmetric Key Package Content Type,” 2007.), PKCS#12 [PKCS‑12] (, “Personal Information Exchange Syntax Standard,” 2005.), or PKCS#5 XML [PKCS‑5‑XML] (RSA Laboratories, “XML Schema for PKCS #5 Version 2.0,” October 2006.).

The keying material includes a provisioning master key, K_PROV, from which the DSKPP client derives two keys: the symmetric key to be established in the cryptographic module, K_TOKEN, and a key, K_MAC, used for server authentication (in the case of key renewal) and key confirmation. The keying material also includes key usage attributes, such as expiry date and length.

The DSKPP server encrypts K_PROV to ensure that it is not exposed to any other entity than the DSKPP server and the cryptographic module itself. The DSKPP server uses any of three key protection methods to encrypt K_PROV: Key Transport, Key Wrap, and Passphrase-Based Key Wrap Key Protection Methods.

While the DSKPP client and server may negotiate the key protection method to use, the actual key protection is carried out in the KeyPackage. For example, the default KeyPackage format urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:keyprov:pskc#KeyContainer from [PSKC] (, “Portable Symmetric Key Container,” 2008.) specifies how a key should be protected, including the three key protection methods described here.



 TOC 

5.1.  Key Protection Methods

This section introduces three key protection methods for the two-pass variant. Additional methods MAY be defined by external entities or through the IETF process.



 TOC 

5.1.1.  Key Transport

Purpose of this method:

This method is intended for PKI-capable devices. The DSKPP server encrypts keying material and transports it to the DSKPP client. The server encrypts the keying material using the public key of the DSKPP client, whose private key part resides in the cryptographic module. The DSKPP client decrypts the keying material and uses it to derive the symmetric key, K_TOKEN.

This method is identified with the following URN:

urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:keyprov:dskpp#transport

The DSKPP server and client MUST support the following mechanism:

http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#rsa-1_5 encryption mechanism defined in [XMLENC] (W3C, “XML Encryption Syntax and Processing,” December 2002.).



 TOC 

5.1.2.  Key Wrap

Purpose of this method:

This method is ideal for pre-keyed devices, e.g., SIM cards. The DSKPP server encrypts keying material using a pre-shared key wrapping key and transports it to the DSKPP client. The DSKPP client decrypts the keying material, and uses it to derive the symmetric key, K_TOKEN.

This method is identified with the following URN:

urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:keyprov:dskpp#wrap

The DSKPP server and client MUST support one of the following key wrapping mechanisms:

KW-AES128 without padding; refer to http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#kw-aes128 in [XMLENC] (W3C, “XML Encryption Syntax and Processing,” December 2002.)

KW-AES128 with padding; refer to http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#kw-aes128 in [XMLENC] (W3C, “XML Encryption Syntax and Processing,” December 2002.) and [AESKWPAD] (Housley, R. and M. Dworkin, “Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) Key Wrap with Padding Algorithm,” March 2009.)

AES-CBC-128; refer to [FIPS197‑AES] (National Institute of Standards and Technology, “Specification for the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES),” November 2001.)



 TOC 

5.1.3.  Passphrase-Based Key Wrap

Purpose of this method:

This method is a variation of the Key Wrap Method that is applicable to constrained devices with keypads, e.g., mobile phones. The DSKPP server encrypts keying material using a wrapping key derived from a user-provided passphrase, and transports the encrypted material to the DSKPP client. The DSKPP client decrypts the keying material, and uses it to derive the symmetric key, K_TOKEN.

To preserve the property of not exposing K_TOKEN to any other entity than the DSKPP server and the cryptographic module itself, the method SHOULD be employed only when the device contains facilities (e.g. a keypad) for direct entry of the passphrase.

This method is identified with the following URN:

urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:keyprov:dskpp#passphrase-wrap

The DSKPP server and client MUST support the following:



 TOC 

5.2.  Message Flow

The two-pass protocol flow consists of one exchange:

1:
Pass 1 = <KeyProvClientHello>, Pass 2 = <KeyProvServerFinished>

Although there is no exchange of the <ServerHello> message or the <ClientNonce> message, the DSKPP client is still able to specify algorithm preferences and supported key types in the <KeyProvClientHello> message.

The purpose and content of each message are described below. XML format and examples are in Section 8 (DSKPP XML Schema) and Appendix B (Examples).



 TOC 

5.2.1.  KeyProvTrigger

The trigger message is used in exactly the same way for the two-pass variant as for the four-pass variant; refer to Section 4.2.1 (KeyProvTrigger).



 TOC 

5.2.2.  KeyProvClientHello

        DSKPP Client                         DSKPP Server
        ------------                         ------------
        SAL, AD, R_C,
        [DeviceID], [KeyID],
        KPML                   --->

When this message is sent:

When a DSKPP client first connects to a DSKPP server, it is required to send the <KeyProvClientHello> as its first message. The client can also send <KeyProvClientHello> in response to a <KeyProvTrigger> message.

Purpose of this message:

With this message, the DSKPP client specifies its algorithm preferences and supported key types as well as which DSKPP versions, protocol variants (in this case "two-pass"), key package formats, and key protection methods that it supports. Furthermore, the DSKPP client facilitates user authentication by transmitting the authentication data (AD) that was provided by the user before the first DSKPP message was sent.

Application note:

This message MUST send user authentication data (AD) to the DSKPP server. If this message is preceded by trigger message <KeyProvTrigger>, then the application will already have AD available (see Section 4.2.1 (KeyProvTrigger)). However, if this message was not preceded by <KeyProvTrigger>, then the application MUST retrieve the user authentication code, possibly by prompting the user to manually enter their authentication code, e.g., on a device with only a numeric keypad. The application MUST also derive Authentication Data (AD) from the authentication code, as described in Section 3.4.1 (User Authentication Data, AD), and save it for use in its next message, <KeyProvClientNonce>.

What is contained in this message:

The Security Attribute List (SAL) included with <KeyProvClientHello> contains the combinations of DSKPP versions, variants, key package formats, key types, and cryptographic algorithms that the DSKPP client supports in order of the client's preference (favorite choice first).

Authentication Data (AD) that was either included with <KeyProvTrigger>, or generated as described in the "Application Note" above.

The DSKPP client's random nonce (R_C), which is used to compute provisioning key (K_PROV). By inserting R_C into the DSKPP session, the DSKPP client is able to ensure the DSKPP server is live before committing the key.

If <KeyProvClientHello> was preceded by a <KeyProvTrigger>, then this message MUST also include the DeviceID and/or KeyID that was provided with the trigger. Otherwise, if a trigger message did not precede <KeyProvClientHello>, then this message MAY include a device ID that was pre-shared with the DSKPP server, and MAY contain a key ID associated with a key previously provisioned by the DSKPP provisioning server.


The list of key protection methods (KPML) that the DSKPP client supports. Each item in the list MAY include an encryption key "payload" for the DSKPP server to use to protect keying material that it sends back to the client. The payload MUST be of type <ds:KeyInfoType> ([XMLDSIG] (W3C, “XML Signature Syntax and Processing,” February 2002.)). For each key protection method, the allowable choices for <ds:KeyInfoType> are:

How the DSKPP server uses this message:

The DSKPP server will look for an acceptable combination of DSKPP version, variant (in this case, two-pass), key package format, key type, and cryptographic algorithms. If the DSKPP Client's SAL does not match the capabilities of the DSKPP Server, or does not comply with key provisioning policy, then the DSKPP Server will set the Status attribute to something other than "Continue". Otherwise, Status will be set to "Continue".

The DSKPP server will validate the DeviceID and KeyID if included in <KeyProvClientHello>. The DSKPP server MUST NOT accept the DeviceID unless the server sent the DeviceID in a preceding trigger message. Note that it is also legitimate for a DSKPP client to initiate the DSKPP protocol run without having received a <KeyProvTrigger> message from a server, but in this case any provided DeviceID MUST NOT be accepted by the DSKPP server unless the server has access to a unique key for the identified device and that key will be used in the protocol.

The DSKPP server MUST use AD to authenticate the user. If authentication fails, then the DSKPP server MUST set the return code to a failure status, and MUST, in this case, also delete any nonces, keys, and/or secrets associated with the failed run of the protocol.

If user authentication passes, the DSKPP server generates a key K_PROV, which MUST consist of two parts of equal length, where the first half constitutes K_MAC and the second half constitutes K_TOKEN, i.e.,

K_PROV = K_MAC || K_TOKEN

The length of K_TOKEN (and hence also the length of K_MAC) is determined by the type of K_TOKEN, which MUST be one of the key types supported by the DSKPP client. In cases where the desired key length for K_TOKEN is different from the length of K_MAC for the underlying MAC algorithm, the greater length of the two MUST be chosen to generate K_PROV. The actual MAC key is truncated from the resulting K_MAC when it is used in the MAC algorithm when K_MAC is longer than necessary in order to match the desired K_TOKEN length. If K_TOKEN is longer than needed in order to match the K_MAC length, the provisioning server and the receiving client must determine the actual secret key length from the target key algorithm and store only the truncated portion of the K_TOKEN. The truncation MUST take the beginning bytes of the desired length from K_TOKEN or K_MAC for the actual key. For example, when a provisioning server provisions an event based HOTP secret key with length 20 and MAC algorithm DSKPP-PRF-SHA256 (Appendix D (Example of DSKPP-PRF Realizations)), K_PROV length will be 64. The derived K_TOKEN and K_MAC will each consist of 32 bytes. The actual HOTP key should be the first 20 bytes of the K_TOKEN.

Once K_PROV is computed, the DSKPP server selects one of the key protection methods from the DSKPP client's KPML, and uses that method and corresponding payload to encrypt K_PROV.

The DSKPP server generates a key package to transport the key encryption method information and the encrypted provisioning key (K_PROV). The encrypted data format is subject to the choice supported by the selected key package. The key package MUST specify and use the selected key protection method and the key information that was received in <KeyProvClientHello>.

The key package also includes key usage attributes such as expiry date and length. The server stores the key package and K_TOKEN with a user account on the cryptographic server.

The server generates a MAC for key confirmation, which the client will use to avoid a false "Commit" message that would cause the cryptographic module to end up in state in which the server does not recognize the stored key. In addition, the server generates a second MAC if an existing key is being renewed so that the DSKPP client will use to confirm that the replacement key came from a trusted server.

The method the DSKPP server MUST use to calculate the key confirmation MAC:

msg_hash = SHA-256(msg_1, ..., msg_n)

dsLen = len(msg_hash)

MAC = DSKPP-PRF (K_MAC, "MAC 1 computation" || msg_hash || ServerID, dsLen)

where

MAC
The MAC MUST be calculated using the already established MAC algorithm and MUST be computed on the (ASCII) string "MAC 1 computation", msg_hash, and ServerID using the existing the MAC key K_MAC.
K_MAC
The key, along with K_TOKEN, that is derived from K_PROV which the DSKPP server MUST provide to the cryptographic module.
msg_hash
The message hash, defined in Section 3.4.3 (The DSKPP Message Hash Algorithm), of messages msg_1, ..., msg_n.
ServerID
The identifier that the DSKPP server MUST include in the <KeyPackage> element of <KeyProvServerFinished>.

If DSKPP-PRF (defined in Section 3.4.2 (The DSKPP One-Way Pseudorandom Function, DSKPP-PRF)) is used as the MAC algorithm, then the input parameter s MUST consist of the concatenation of the (ASCII) string "MAC 1 computation", msg_hash, and ServerID, and the parameter dsLen MUST be set to the length of msg_hash.

The method the DSKPP server MUST use to calculate the server authentication MAC:

The MAC MUST be computed on the (ASCII) string "MAC 2 computation", the server identifier ServerID, and R, using a pre-existing MAC key K_MAC' (the MAC key that existed before this protocol run). Note that the implementation may specify K_MAC' to be the value of the K_TOKEN that is being replaced, or a version of K_MAC from the previous protocol run.

If DSKPP-PRF is used as the MAC algorithm, then the input parameter s MUST consist of the concatenation of the (ASCII) string "MAC 2 computation" ServerID, and R. The parameter dsLen MUST be set to at least 16 (i.e. the length of the MAC MUST be at least 16 octets):

dsLen >= 16

MAC = DSKPP-PRF (K_MAC', "MAC 2 computation" || ServerID || R, dsLen)

The MAC algorithm MUST be the same as the algorithm used by the DSKPP server to calculate the key confirmation MAC.

When this message is sent:

The DSKPP server will send this message after authenticating the user and, if authentication passed, generating K_TOKEN and a key package, and associating them with the user's account on the cryptographic server.

Purpose of this message:

With this message the DSKPP server transports a key package containing the encrypted provisioning key (K_PROV) and key usage attributes.

What is contained in this message:

A status attribute equivalent to the server's return code to <KeyProvClientHello>. If the server found an acceptable set of attributes from the client's SAL, then it sets status to Continue.

The confirmation message MUST include the Key Package (KP) that holds the DSKPP Server's ID, key ID, key type, encrypted provisioning key (K_PROV), encryption method, and additional configuration information. The default symmetric key package format is based on the Portable Symmetric Key Container (PSKC) defined in [PSKC] (, “Portable Symmetric Key Container,” 2008.). Alternative formats MAY include [SKPC‑ASN.1] (, “Symmetric Key Package Content Type,” 2007.), PKCS#12 [PKCS‑12] (, “Personal Information Exchange Syntax Standard,” 2005.), or PKCS#5 XML [PKCS‑5‑XML] (RSA Laboratories, “XML Schema for PKCS #5 Version 2.0,” October 2006.).

Finally, this message MUST include a MAC that the DSKPP client will use for key confirmation. In addition, this message MUST also include a server authentication MAC (AD) if an existing key is being replaced. These MACs are calculated as described in the previous section.

How the DSKPP client uses this message:

After receiving a <KeyProvServerFinished> message with Status = "Success", the DSKPP client MUST verify both MACs (MAC and AD). The DSKPP client MUST terminate the DSKPP protocol run if either MAC does not verify, and MUST, in this case, also delete any nonces, keys, and/or secrets associated with the failed run of the protocol.

If <KeyProvServerFinished> has Status = "Success" and the MACs were verified, then the DSKPP client MUST extract K_PROV from the provided key package, and derive K_TOKEN. Finally, the DSKPP client initializes the cryptographic module with K_TOKEN and the corresponding key usage attributes. After this operation, it MUST NOT be possible to overwrite the key unless knowledge of an authorizing key is proven through a MAC on a later <KeyProvServerFinished> message.

6.  Protocol Extensions

DSKPP has been designed to be extensible. However, it is possible that the use of extensions will harm interoperability; therefore, any use of extensions SHOULD be carefully considered. For example, if a particular implementation relies on the presence of a proprietary extension, then it may not be able to interoperate with independent implementations that have no knowledge of this extension.



 TOC 

6.1.  The ClientInfoType Extension

The ClientInfoType extension MAY contain any client-specific data required of an application. This extension MAY be present in a <KeyProvClientHello> or <KeyProvClientNonce> message. DSKPP servers MUST support this extension. DSKPP servers MUST NOT attempt to interpret the data it carries and, if received, MUST include it unmodified in the current protocol run's next server response. DSKPP servers need not retain the ClientInfoType data.



 TOC 

6.2.  The ServerInfoType Extension

The ServerInfoType extension MAY contain any server-specific data required of an application, e.g., state information. This extension is only valid in <KeyProvServerHello> messages for which the Status attribute is set to "Continue". DSKPP clients MUST support this extension. DSKPP clients MUST NOT attempt to interpret the data it carries and, if received, MUST include it unmodified in the current protocol run's next client request (i.e., the <KeyProvClientNonce> message). DSKPP clients need not retain the ServerInfoType data.

7.2.  HTTP/1.1 Binding for DSKPP

This section presents a binding of the previous messages to HTTP/1.1 [RFC2616] (Fielding, R., Gettys, J., Mogul, J., Frystyk, H., Masinter, L., Leach, P., and T. Berners-Lee, “Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1,” June 1999.). Note that the HTTP client will normally be different from the DSKPP client (i.e., the HTTP client will "proxy" DSKPP messages from the DSKPP client to the DSKPP server). Likewise, on the HTTP server side, the DSKPP server MAY receive DSKPP message from a "front-end" HTTP server. The DSKPP server will be identified by a specific URL, which may be pre-configured, or provided to the client during initialization.

7.2.1.  Identification of DSKPP Messages

The MIME-type for all DSKPP messages MUST be

application/vnd.ietf.keyprov.dskpp+xml



 TOC 

7.2.2.  HTTP Headers

In order to avoid caching of responses carrying DSKPP messages by proxies, the following holds:

To handle content negotiation, HTTP requests MAY include an HTTP Accept header field. This header field SHOULD should be identified using the MIME type specified in Section 7.2.1 (Identification of DSKPP Messages). The Accept header MAY include additional content types defined by future versions of this protocol.

There are no other restrictions on HTTP headers, besides the requirement to set the Content-Type header value to the MIME type specified in Section 7.2.1 (Identification of DSKPP Messages).



 TOC 

7.2.3.  HTTP Operations

Persistent connections as defined in HTTP/1.1 are OPTIONAL. DSKPP requests are mapped to HTTP requests with the POST method. DSKPP responses are mapped to HTTP responses.

For the 4-pass DSKPP, messages within the protocol run are bound together. In particular, <KeyProvServerHello> is bound to the preceding <KeyProvClientHello> by being transmitted in the corresponding HTTP response. <KeyProvServerHello> MUST have a SessionID attribute, and the SessionID attribute of the subsequent <KeyProvClientNonce> message MUST be identical. <KeyProvServerFinished> is then once again bound to the rest through HTTP (and possibly through a SessionID).



 TOC 

7.2.4.  HTTP Status Codes

A DSKPP HTTP responder that refuses to perform a message exchange with a DSKPP HTTP requester SHOULD return a 403 (Forbidden) response. In this case, the content of the HTTP body is not significant. In the case of an HTTP error while processing a DSKPP request, the HTTP server MUST return a 500 (Internal Server Error) response. This type of error SHOULD be returned for HTTP-related errors detected before control is passed to the DSKPP processor, or when the DSKPP processor reports an internal error (for example, the DSKPP XML namespace is incorrect, or the DSKPP schema cannot be located). If a request is received that is not a DSKPP client message, the DSKPP responder MUST return a 400 (Bad request) response.

In these cases (i.e., when the HTTP response code is 4xx or 5xx), the content of the HTTP body is not significant.

Redirection status codes (3xx) apply as usual.

Whenever the HTTP POST is successfully invoked, the DSKPP HTTP responder MUST use the 200 status code and provide a suitable DSKPP message (possibly with DSKPP error information included) in the HTTP body.



 TOC 

7.2.5.  HTTP Authentication

No support for HTTP/1.1 authentication is assumed.



 TOC 

7.2.6.  Initialization of DSKPP

If a user requests key initialization in a browsing session, and if that request has an appropriate Accept header (e.g., to a specific DSKPP server URL), the DSKPP server MAY respond by sending a DSKPP initialization message in an HTTP response with Content-Type set according to Section 7.2.1 (Identification of DSKPP Messages) and response code set to 200 (OK). The initialization message MAY carry data in its body, such as the URL for the DSKPP client to use when contacting the DSKPP server. If the message does carry data, the data MUST be a valid instance of a <KeyProvTrigger> element.

Note that if the user's request was directed to some other resource, the DSKPP server MUST NOT respond by combining the DSKPP content type with response code 200. In that case, the DSKPP server SHOULD respond by sending a DSKPP initialization message in an HTTP response with Content-Type set according to Section 7.2.1 (Identification of DSKPP Messages) and response code set to 406 (Not Acceptable).

8.  DSKPP XML Schema



 TOC 

8.1.  General Processing Requirements

Some DSKPP elements rely on the parties being able to compare received values with stored values. Unless otherwise noted, all elements that have the XML Schema "xs:string" type, or a type derived from it, MUST be compared using an exact binary comparison. In particular, DSKPP implementations MUST NOT depend on case-insensitive string comparisons, normalization or trimming of white space, or conversion of locale-specific formats such as numbers.

Implementations that compare values that are represented using different character encodings MUST use a comparison method that returns the same result as converting both values to the Unicode character encoding, Normalization Form C [UNICODE] (Davis, M. and M. Duerst, “Unicode Normalization Forms,” March 2001.), and then performing an exact binary comparison.

No collation or sorting order for attributes or element values is defined. Therefore, DSKPP implementations MUST NOT depend on specific sorting orders for values.

9.  Conformance Requirements

In order to assure that all implementations of DSKPP can interoperate, the DSKPP server:

a.
MUST implement the four-pass variation of the protocol (Section 4 (Four-Pass Protocol Usage))
b.
MUST implement the two-pass variation of the protocol (Section 5 (Two-Pass Protocol Usage))
c.
MUST support user authentication (Section 3.2.1 (User Authentication))
d.
MUST support the following key derivation functions:
e.
MUST support the following encryption mechanisms for protection of the client nonce in the four-pass protocol:
f.
MUST support one of the following encryption algorithms for symmetric key operations, e.g., key wrap:
g.
MUST support the following encryption algorithms for asymmetric key operations, e.g., key transport:
h.
MUST support the following integrity/KDF MAC functions:
i.
MUST support the PSKC key package [PSKC] (, “Portable Symmetric Key Container,” 2008.); all three PSKC key protection methods (Key Transport, Key Wrap, and Passphrase-Based Key Wrap) MUST be implemented
j.
MAY support the ASN.1 key package as defined in [SKPC‑ASN.1] (, “Symmetric Key Package Content Type,” 2007.)

DSKPP clients MUST support either the two-pass or the four-pass variant of the protocol. DSKPP clients MUST fulfill all requirements listed in item (c) - (j).

Of course, DSKPP is a security protocol, and one of its major functions is to allow only authorized parties to successfully initialize a cryptographic module with a new symmetric key. Therefore, a particular implementation may be configured with any of a number of restrictions concerning algorithms and trusted authorities that will prevent universal interoperability.



 TOC 

10.  Security Considerations



 TOC 

10.1.  General

DSKPP is designed to protect generated keying material from exposure. No other entities than the DSKPP server and the cryptographic module will have access to a generated K_TOKEN if the cryptographic algorithms used are of sufficient strength and, on the DSKPP client side, generation and encryption of R_C and generation of K_TOKEN take place as specified in the cryptographic module. This applies even if malicious software is present in the DSKPP client. However, as discussed in the following sub-sections, DSKPP does not protect against certain other threats resulting from man-in-the-middle attacks and other forms of attacks. DSKPP SHOULD, therefore, be run over a transport providing confidentiality and integrity, such as HTTP over Transport Layer Security (TLS) with a suitable ciphersuite, when such threats are a concern. Note that TLS ciphersuites with anonymous key exchanges are not suitable in those situations.



 TOC 

10.2.  Active Attacks



 TOC 

10.2.1.  Introduction

An active attacker MAY attempt to modify, delete, insert, replay, or reorder messages for a variety of purposes including service denial and compromise of generated keying material.



 TOC 

10.2.2.  Message Modifications

Modifications to a <KeyProvTrigger> message will either cause denial-of-service (modifications of any of the identifiers or the authentication code) or will cause the DSKPP client to contact the wrong DSKPP server. The latter is in effect a man-in-the-middle attack and is discussed further in Section 10.2.7 (Man-in-the-Middle).

An attacker may modify a <KeyProvClientHello> message. This means that the attacker could indicate a different key or device than the one intended by the DSKPP client, and could also suggest other cryptographic algorithms than the ones preferred by the DSKPP client, e.g., cryptographically weaker ones. The attacker could also suggest earlier versions of the DSKPP protocol, in case these versions have been shown to have vulnerabilities. These modifications could lead to an attacker succeeding in initializing or modifying another cryptographic module than the one intended (i.e., the server assigning the generated key to the wrong module), or gaining access to a generated key through the use of weak cryptographic algorithms or protocol versions. DSKPP implementations MAY protect against the latter by having strict policies about what versions and algorithms they support and accept. The former threat (assignment of a generated key to the wrong module) is not possible when the shared-key variant of DSKPP is employed (assuming existing shared keys are unique per cryptographic module), but is possible in the public-key variation. Therefore, DSKPP servers MUST NOT accept unilaterally provided device identifiers in the public-key variation. This is also indicated in the protocol description. In the shared-key variation, however, an attacker may be able to provide the wrong identifier (possibly also leading to the incorrect user being associated with the generated key) if the attacker has real-time access to the cryptographic module with the identified key. The result of this attack could be that the generated key is associated with the correct cryptographic module but the module is associated with the incorrect user. See further Section 10.5 (Attacks on the Interaction between DSKPP and User Authentication) for a discussion of this threat and possible countermeasures.

An attacker may also modify a <KeyProvServerHello> message. This means that the attacker could indicate different key types, algorithms, or protocol versions than the legitimate server would, e.g., cryptographically weaker ones. The attacker may also provide a different nonce than the one sent by the legitimate server. Clients MAY protect against the former through strict adherence to policies regarding permissible algorithms and protocol versions. The latter (wrong nonce) will not constitute a security problem, as a generated key will not match the key generated on the legitimate server. Also, whenever the DSKPP run would result in the replacement of an existing key, the <Mac> element protects against modifications of R_S.

Modifications of <KeyProvClientNonce> messages are also possible. If an attacker modifies the SessionID attribute, then, in effect, a switch to another session will occur at the server, assuming the new SessionID is valid at that time on the server. It still will not allow the attacker to learn a generated K_TOKEN since R_C has been wrapped for the legitimate server. Modifications of the <EncryptedNonce> element, e.g., replacing it with a value for which the attacker knows an underlying R'C, will not result in the client changing its pre-DSKPP state, since the server will be unable to provide a valid MAC in its final message to the client. The server MAY, however, end up storing K'TOKEN rather than K_TOKEN. If the cryptographic module has been associated with a particular user, then this could constitute a security problem. For a further discussion about this threat, and a possible countermeasure, see Section 10.5 (Attacks on the Interaction between DSKPP and User Authentication) below. Note that use of TLS does not protect against this attack if the attacker has access to the DSKPP client (e.g., through malicious software, "Trojans").

Finally, attackers may also modify the <KeyProvServerFinished> message. Replacing the <Mac> element will only result in denial-of-service. Replacement of any other element may cause the DSKPP client to associate, e.g., the wrong service with the generated key. DSKPP SHOULD be run over a transport providing confidentiality and integrity when this is a concern.



 TOC 

10.2.3.  Message Deletion

Message deletion will not cause any other harm than denial-of-service, since a cryptographic module MUST NOT change its state (i.e., "commit" to a generated key) until it receives the final message from the DSKPP server and successfully has processed that message, including validation of its MAC. A deleted <KeyProvServerFinished> message will not cause the server to end up in an inconsistent state vis-a-vis the cryptographic module if the server implements the suggestions in Section 10.5 (Attacks on the Interaction between DSKPP and User Authentication).



 TOC 

10.2.4.  Message Insertion

An active attacker may initiate a DSKPP run at any time, and suggest any device identifier. DSKPP server implementations MAY receive some protection against inadvertently initializing a key or inadvertently replacing an existing key or assigning a key to a cryptographic module by initializing the DSKPP run by use of the <KeyProvTrigger>. The <AuthenticationData> element allows the server to associate a DSKPP protocol run with, e.g., an earlier user-authenticated session. The security of this method, therefore, depends on the ability to protect the <AuthenticationData> element in the DSKPP initialization message. If an eavesdropper is able to capture this message, he may race the legitimate user for a key initialization. DSKPP over a transport providing confidentiality and integrity, coupled with the recommendations in Section 10.5 (Attacks on the Interaction between DSKPP and User Authentication), is RECOMMENDED when this is a concern.

Insertion of other messages into an existing protocol run is seen as equivalent to modification of legitimately sent messages.



 TOC 

10.2.5.  Message Replay

During 4-pass DSKPP, attempts to replay a previously recorded DSKPP message will be detected, as the use of nonces ensures that both parties are live. For example, a DSKPP client knows that a server it is communicating with is "live" since the server MUST create a MAC on information sent by the client.

The same is true for 2-pass DSKPP thanks to the requirement that the client sends R in the <KeyProvClientHello> message and that the server includes R in the MAC computation.



 TOC 

10.2.6.  Message Reordering

An attacker may attempt to re-order 4-pass DSKPP messages but this will be detected, as each message is of a unique type. Note: Message re-ordering attacks cannot occur in 2-pass DSKPP since each party sends at most one message each.



 TOC 

10.2.7.  Man-in-the-Middle

In addition to other active attacks, an attacker posing as a man-in-the-middle may be able to provide his own public key to the DSKPP client. This threat and countermeasures to it are discussed in Section 4.1.1 (Data Flow). An attacker posing as a man-in-the-middle may also be acting as a proxy and, hence, may not interfere with DSKPP runs but still learn valuable information; see Section 10.3 (Passive Attacks).



 TOC 

10.3.  Passive Attacks

Passive attackers may eavesdrop on DSKPP runs to learn information that later on may be used to impersonate users, mount active attacks, etc.

If DSKPP is not run over a transport providing confidentiality, a passive attacker may learn:

Whenever the above is a concern, DSKPP SHOULD be run over a transport providing confidentiality. If man-in-the-middle attacks for the purposes described above are a concern, the transport SHOULD also offer server-side authentication.



 TOC 

10.4.  Cryptographic Attacks

An attacker with unlimited access to an initialized cryptographic module may use the module as an "oracle" to pre-compute values that later on may be used to impersonate the DSKPP server. Section 4.1.1 (Data Flow) contains a discussion of this threat and steps RECOMMENDED to protect against it.

Implementers SHOULD also be aware that cryptographic algorithms become weaker with time. As new cryptographic techniques are developed and computing performance improves, the work factor to break a particular cryptographic algorithm will reduce. Therefore, cryptographic algorithm implementations SHOULD be modular allowing new algorithms to be readily inserted. That is, implementers SHOULD be prepared to regularly update the algorithms in their implementations.



 TOC 

10.5.  Attacks on the Interaction between DSKPP and User Authentication

If keys generated in DSKPP will be associated with a particular user at the DSKPP server (or a server trusted by, and communicating with the DSKPP server), then in order to protect against threats where an attacker replaces a client-provided encrypted R_C with his own R'C (regardless of whether the public-key variation or the shared-secret variation of DSKPP is employed to encrypt the client nonce), the server SHOULD NOT commit to associate a generated K_TOKEN with the given cryptographic module until the user simultaneously has proven both possession of the device that hosts the cryptographic module containing K_TOKEN and some out-of-band provided authenticating information (e.g., an authentication code). For example, if the cryptographic module is a one-time password token, the user could be required to authenticate with both a one-time password generated by the cryptographic module and an out-of-band provided authentication code in order to have the server "commit" to the generated OTP value for the given user. Preferably, the user SHOULD perform this operation from another host than the one used to initialize keys on the cryptographic module, in order to minimize the risk of malicious software on the client interfering with the process.

Note: This scenario, wherein the attacker replaces a client-provided R_C with his own R'C, does not apply to 2-pass DSKPP as the client does not provide any entropy to K_TOKEN. The attack as such (and its countermeasures) still applies to 2-pass DSKPP, however, as it essentially is a man-in-the-middle attack.

Another threat arises when an attacker is able to trick a user to authenticate to the attacker rather than to the legitimate service before the DSKPP protocol run. If successful, the attacker will then be able to impersonate the user towards the legitimate service, and subsequently receive a valid DSKPP trigger. If the public-key variant of DSKPP is used, this may result in the attacker being able to (after a successful DSKPP protocol run) impersonate the user. Ordinary precautions MUST, therefore, be in place to ensure that users authenticate only to legitimate services.



 TOC 

10.6.  Miscellaneous Considerations



 TOC 

10.6.1.  Client Contributions to K_TOKEN Entropy

In 4-pass DSKPP, both the client and the server provide randomizing material to K_TOKEN, in a manner that allows both parties to verify that they did contribute to the resulting key. In the 2-pass DSKPP version defined herein, only the server contributes to the entropy of K_TOKEN. This means that a broken or compromised (pseudo-)random number generator in the server may cause more damage than it would in the 4-pass variant. Server implementations SHOULD therefore take extreme care to ensure that this situation does not occur.



 TOC 

10.6.2.  Key Confirmation

4-pass DSKPP servers provide key confirmation through the MAC on R_C in the <KeyProvServerFinished> message. In the 2-pass DSKPP variant described herein, key confirmation is provided by the MAC including R, using K_MAC.



 TOC 

10.6.3.  Server Authentication

DSKPP servers MUST authenticate themselves whenever a successful DSKPP 2-pass protocol run would result in an existing K_TOKEN being replaced by a K_TOKEN', or else a denial-of-service attack where an unauthorized DSKPP server replaces a K_TOKEN with another key would be possible. In 2-pass DSKPP, servers authenticate by including the AuthenticationDataType extension containing a MAC as described in Section 5 (Two-Pass Protocol Usage) for two-pass DSKPP.



 TOC 

10.6.4.  User Authentication

A DSKPP server MUST authenticate a client to ensure that K_TOKEN is delivered to the intended device. The following measures SHOULD be considered:



 TOC 

10.6.5.  Key Protection in Two-Pass DSKPP

Three key protection methods are defined for the different usages of 2-pass DSKPP, which MUST be supported by a key package format, such as [PSKC] (, “Portable Symmetric Key Container,” 2008.) and [SKPC‑ASN.1] (, “Symmetric Key Package Content Type,” 2007.). Therefore, key protection in the two-pass DSKPP is dependent upon the security of the key package format selected for a protocol run. Some considerations for the Passphrase-Based Key Wrap method follow.

The passphrase-based key wrap method SHOULD depend upon the PBKDF2 function from [PKCS‑5] (RSA Laboratories, “Password-Based Cryptography Standard,” March 1999.) to generate an encryption key from a passphrase and salt string. It is important to note that passphrase-based encryption is generally limited in the security that it provides despite the use of salt and iteration count in PBKDF2 to increase the complexity of attack. Implementations SHOULD therefore take additional measures to strengthen the security of the passphrase-based key wrap method. The following measures SHOULD be considered where applicable:



 TOC 

10.6.6.  Algorithm Agility

Many protocols need to be algorithm agile. One reason for this is that in the past many protocols had fixed sized fields for information such as hash outputs, keys, etc. This is not the case for DSKPP, except for the key size in the computation of DSKPP-PRF. Another reason was that protocols did not support algorithm negotiation. This is also not the case for DSKPP, except for the use of SHA-256 in the MAC confirmation message. Updating the key size for DSKPP-PRF or the MAC confirmation message algorithm will require a new version of the protocol, which is supported with the Version attribute.



 TOC 

11.  Internationalization Considerations

The DSKPP protocol is mostly meant for machine-to-machine communications; as such, most of its elements are tokens not meant for direct human consumption. If these tokens are presented to the end user, some localization may need to occur. DSKPP exchanges information using XML. All XML processors are required to understand UTF-8 [RFC3629] (Yergeau, F., “UTF-8, a transformation format of ISO10646,” November 2003.) and UTF-16 [RFC2781] (Hoffman, P. and F. Yergeau, “UTF-16, an encoding of ISO 10646,” February 2000.) encoding, and therefore all DSKPP clients and servers MUST understand UTF-8 and UTF-16 encoded XML. Additionally, DSKPP servers and clients MUST NOT encode XML with encodings other than UTF-8 or UTF-16.

Appendix A.  Usage Scenarios

DSKPP is expected to be used to provision symmetric keys to cryptographic modules in a number of different scenarios, each with its own special requirements, as described below. This appendix forms an informative part of the document.



 TOC 

A.1.  Single Key Request

The usual scenario is that a cryptographic module makes a request for a symmetric key from a provisioning server that is located on the local network or somewhere on the Internet. Depending upon the deployment scenario, the provisioning server may generate a new key on-the-fly or use a pre-generated key, e.g., one provided by a legacy back-end issuance server. The provisioning server assigns a unique key ID to the symmetric key and provisions it to the cryptographic module.



 TOC 

A.2.  Multiple Key Requests

A cryptographic module makes multiple requests for symmetric keys from the same provisioning server. The symmetric keys need not be of the same type, i.e., the keys may be used with different symmetric key cryptographic algorithms, including one-time password authentication algorithms, and the AES encryption algorithm.



 TOC 

A.3.  User Authentication

In some deployment scenarios, a key issuer may rely on a third party provisioning service. In this case, the issuer directs provisioning requests from the cryptographic module to the provisioning service. As such, it is the responsibility of the issuer to authenticate the user through some out-of-band means before granting him rights to acquire keys. Once the issuer has granted those rights, the issuer provides an authentication code to the user and makes it available to the provisioning service, so that the user can prove that he is authorized to acquire keys.



 TOC 

A.4.  Provisioning Time-Out Policy

An issuer may provide a time-limited authentication code to a user during registration, which the user will input into the cryptographic module to authenticate themselves with the provisioning server. The server will allow a key to be provisioned to the cryptographic module hosted by the user's device when user authentication is required only if the user inputs a valid authentication code within the fixed time period established by the issuer.



 TOC 

A.5.  Key Renewal

A cryptographic module requests renewal of the symmetric key material attached to a key ID, as opposed to keeping the key value constant and refreshing the metadata. Such a need may occur in the case when a user wants to upgrade her device that houses the cryptographic module or when a key has expired. When a user uses the same cryptographic module to, for example, perform strong authentication at multiple Web login sites, keeping the same key ID removes the need for the user to register a new key ID at each site.



 TOC 

A.6.  Pre-Loaded Key Replacement

This scenario represents a special case of symmetric key renewal in which a local administrator can authenticate the user procedurally before initiating the provisioning process. It also allows for a device issuer to pre-load a key onto a cryptographic module with a restriction that the key is replaced with a new key prior to use of the cryptographic module. Another variation of this scenario is the organization who recycles devices. In this case, a key issuer would provision a new symmetric key to a cryptographic module hosted on a device that was previously owned by another user.

Note that this usage scenario is essentially the same as the previous scenario wherein the same key ID is used for renewal.



 TOC 

A.7.  Pre-Shared Manufacturing Key

A cryptographic module is loaded onto a smart card after the card is issued to a user. The symmetric key for the cryptographic module will then be provisioned using a secure channel mechanism present in many smart card platforms. This allows a direct secure channel to be established between the smart card chip and the provisioning server. For example, the card commands (i.e., Application Protocol Data Units, or APDUs) are encrypted with a pre-issued card manufacturer's key and sent directly to the smart card chip, allowing secure post-issuance in-the-field provisioning. This secure flow can pass Transport Layer Security (TLS) and other transport security boundaries.

Note that two pre-conditions for this usage scenario are for the protocol to be tunneled and the provisioning server to know the correct pre-established manufacturer's key.



 TOC 

A.8.  End-to-End Protection of Key Material

In this scenario, transport layer security does not provide end-to-end protection of keying material transported from the provisioning server to the cryptographic module. For example, TLS may terminate at an application hosted on a PC rather than at the cryptographic module (i.e., the endpoint) located on a data storage device. Mutually authenticated key agreement provides end-to-end protection, which TLS cannot provide.

Appendix B.  Examples

This appendix contains example messages that illustrate parameters, encoding, and semantics in four-and two- pass DSKPP exchanges. The examples are written using XML, and are syntactically correct. MAC and cipher values are fictitious however. This appendix forms an informative part of the document.

B.3.3.  Example Using the Passphrase-Based Key Wrap Method

The client sends a request similar to that in Appendix B.3.1 (Example Using the Key Transport Method) with authentication data based on an authentication code, and the server responds using the Passphrase-Based Key Wrap method to encrypt the provisioning key (note that the encryption is derived from the password component of the authentication code). The authentication data is set in clear text when it is sent over a secure transport channel such as TLS.

Appendix C.  Integration with PKCS #11

A DSKPP client that needs to communicate with a connected cryptographic module to perform a DSKPP exchange MAY use PKCS #11 [PKCS‑11] (RSA Laboratories, “Cryptographic Token Interface Standard,” June 2004.) as a programming interface as described herein. This appendix forms an informative part of the document.



 TOC 

C.1.  The 4-pass Variant

When performing 4-pass DSKPP with a cryptographic module using the PKCS #11 programming interface, the procedure described in [CT‑KIP‑P11] (RSA Laboratories, “PKCS #11 Mechanisms for the Cryptographic Token Key Initialization Protocol,” December 2005.), Appendix B, is RECOMMENDED.



 TOC 

C.2.  The 2-pass Variant

A suggested procedure to perform 2-pass DSKPP with a cryptographic module through the PKCS #11 interface using the mechanisms defined in [CT‑KIP‑P11] (RSA Laboratories, “PKCS #11 Mechanisms for the Cryptographic Token Key Initialization Protocol,” December 2005.) is as follows:

a.
On the client side,
1.
The client selects a suitable slot and token (e.g., through use of the <DeviceIdentifier> or the <PlatformInfo> element of the DSKPP trigger message).
2.
A nonce R is generated, e.g. by calling C_SeedRandom and C_GenerateRandom.
3.
The client sends its first message to the server, including the nonce R.
b.
On the server side,
1.
A generic key K_PROV = K_TOKEN | K_MAC (where '|' denotes concatenation) is generated, e.g. by calling C_GenerateKey (using key type CKK_GENERIC_SECRET). The template for K_PROV MUST allow it to be exported (but only in wrapped form, i.e. CKA_SENSITIVE MUST be set to CK_TRUE and CKA_EXTRACTABLE MUST also be set to CK_TRUE), and also to be used for further key derivation. From K, a token key K_TOKEN of suitable type is derived by calling C_DeriveKey using the PKCS #11 mechanism CKM_EXTRACT_KEY_FROM_KEY and setting the CK_EXTRACT_PARAMS to the first bit of the generic secret key (i.e. set to 0). Likewise, a MAC key K_MAC is derived from K_PROV by calling C_DeriveKey using the CKM_EXTRACT_KEY_FROM_KEY mechanism, this time setting CK_EXTRACT_PARAMS to the length of K_PROV (in bits) divided by two.
2.
The server wraps K_PROV with either the public key of the DSKPP client or device, the pre-shared secret key, or the derived shared secret key by using C_WrapKey. If use of the DSKPP key wrap algorithm has been negotiated then the CKM_KIP_WRAP mechanism MUST be used to wrap K. When calling C_WrapKey, the hKey handle in the CK_KIP_PARAMS structure MUST be set to NULL_PTR. The pSeed parameter in the CK_KIP_PARAMS structure MUST point to the nonce R provided by the DSKPP client, and the ulSeedLen parameter MUST indicate the length of R. The hWrappingKey parameter in the call to C_WrapKey MUST be set to refer to the key wrapping key.
3.
Next, the server needs to calculate a MAC using K_MAC. If use of the DSKPP MAC algorithm has been negotiated, then the MAC is calculated by calling C_SignInit with the CKM_KIP_MAC mechanism followed by a call to C_Sign. In the call to C_SignInit, K_MAC MUST be the signature key, the hKey parameter in the CK_KIP_PARAMS structure MUST be set to NULL_PTR, the pSeed parameter of the CT_KIP_PARAMS structure MUST be set to NULL_PTR, and the ulSeedLen parameter MUST be set to zero. In the call to C_Sign, the pData parameter MUST be set to the concatenation of the string ServerID and the nonce R, and the ulDataLen parameter MUST be set to the length of the concatenated string. The desired length of the MAC MUST be specified through the pulSignatureLen parameter and MUST be set to the length of R.
4.
If the server also needs to authenticate its message (due to an existing K_TOKEN being replaced), the server MUST calculate a second MAC. Again, if use of the DSKPP MAC algorithm has been negotiated, then the MAC is calculated by calling C_SignInit with the CKM_KIP_MAC mechanism followed by a call to C_Sign. In this call to C_SignInit, the K_MAC' existing before this DSKPP protocol run MUST be the signature key (the implementation may specify K_MAC' to be the value of the K_TOKEN that is being replaced, or a version of K_MAC from the previous protocol run), the hKey parameter in the CK_KIP_PARAMS structure MUST be set to NULL, the pSeed parameter of the CT_KIP_PARAMS structure MUST be set to NULL_PTR, and the ulSeedLen parameter MUST be set to zero. In the call to C_Sign, the pData parameter MUST be set to the concatenation of the string ServerID and the nonce R, and the ulDataLen parameter MUST be set to the length of concatenated string. The desired length of the MAC MUST be specified through the pulSignatureLen parameter and MUST be set to the length of R.
5.
The server sends its message to the client, including the wrapped key K_TOKEN, the MAC and possibly also the authenticating MAC.
c.
On the client side,
1.
The client calls C_UnwrapKey to receive a handle to K. After this, the client calls C_DeriveKey twice: Once to derive K_TOKEN and once to derive K_MAC. The client MUST use the same mechanism (CKM_EXTRACT_KEY_FROM_KEY) and the same mechanism parameters as used by the server above. When calling C_UnwrapKey and C_DeriveKey, the pTemplate parameter MUST be used to set additional key attributes in accordance with local policy and as negotiated and expressed in the protocol. In particular, the value of the <KeyID> element in the server's response message MAY be used as CKA_ID for K_TOKEN. The key K_PROV MUST be destroyed after deriving K_TOKEN and K_MAC.
2.
The MAC is verified in a reciprocal fashion as it was generated by the server. If use of the CKM_KIP_MAC mechanism has been negotiated, then in the call to C_VerifyInit, the hKey parameter in the CK_KIP_PARAMS structure MUST be set to NULL_PTR, the pSeed parameter MUST be set to NULL_PTR, and ulSeedLen MUST be set to 0. The hKey parameter of C_VerifyInit MUST refer to K_MAC. In the call to C_Verify, pData MUST be set to the concatenation of the string ServerID and the nonce R, and the ulDataLen parameter MUST be set to the length of the concatenated string, pSignature to the MAC value received from the server, and ulSignatureLen to the length of the MAC. If the MAC does not verify the protocol session ends with a failure. The token MUST be constructed to not "commit" to the new K_TOKEN or the new K_MAC unless the MAC verifies.
3.
If an authenticating MAC was received (REQUIRED if the new K_TOKEN will replace an existing key on the token), then it is verified in a similar vein but using the K_MAC' associated with this server and existing before the protocol run (the implementation may specify K_MAC' to be the value of the K_TOKEN that is being replaced, or a version of K_MAC from the previous protocol run). Again, if the MAC does not verify the protocol session ends with a failure, and the token MUST be constructed no to "commit" to the new K_TOKEN or the new K_MAC unless the MAC verifies.

Appendix D.  Example of DSKPP-PRF Realizations



 TOC 

D.1.  Introduction

This example appendix defines DSKPP-PRF in terms of AES [FIPS197‑AES] (National Institute of Standards and Technology, “Specification for the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES),” November 2001.) and HMAC [RFC2104] (Krawzcyk, H., Bellare, M., and R. Canetti, “HMAC: Keyed-Hashing for Message Authentication,” February 1997.). This appendix forms an informative part of the document.

D.2.1.  Identification

For cryptographic modules supporting this realization of DSKPP-PRF, the following URL MAY be used to identify this algorithm in DSKPP:

http://www.ietf.org/keyprov/dskpp#dskpp-prf-aes-128

When this URL is used to identify the encryption algorithm, the method for encryption of R_C values described in Section 4.2.4 (KeyProvClientNonce) MUST be used.



 TOC 

D.2.2.  Definition

DSKPP-PRF-AES (k, s, dsLen)

Input:

k
Encryption key to use
s
Octet string consisting of randomizing material. The length of the string s is sLen.
dsLen
Desired length of the output

Output:

DS
A pseudorandom string, dsLen-octets long

Steps:

1.
Let bLen be the output block size of AES in octets:
bLen = (AES output block length in octets)
(normally, bLen = 16)

2.
If dsLen > (2**32 - 1) * bLen, output "derived data too long" and stop
3.
Let n be the number of bLen-octet blocks in the output data, rounding up, and let j be the number of octets in the last block:
n = CEILING( dsLen / bLen)
j = dsLen - (n - 1) * bLen

4.
For each block of the pseudorandom string DS, apply the function F defined below to the key k, the string s and the block index to compute the block:
B1 = F (k, s, 1) ,
B2 = F (k, s, 2) ,
...
Bn = F (k, s, n)

The function F is defined in terms of the CMAC construction from [NIST‑SP800‑38B] (International Organization for Standardization, “Recommendations for Block Cipher Modes of Operation: The CMAC Mode for Authentication,” May 2005.), using AES as the block cipher:

F (k, s, i) = CMAC-AES (k, INT (i) || s)

where INT (i) is a four-octet encoding of the integer i, most significant octet first, and the output length of CMAC is set to bLen.

Concatenate the blocks and extract the first dsLen octets to product the desired data string DS:

DS = B1 || B2 || ... || Bn<0..j-1>

Output the derived data DS.



 TOC 

D.2.3.  Example

If we assume that dsLen = 16, then:

D.3.2.  Definition

DSKPP-PRF-SHA256 (k, s, dsLen)

Input:

k
Encryption key to use
s
Octet string consisting of randomizing material. The length of the string s is sLen.
dsLen
Desired length of the output

Output:

DS
A pseudorandom string, dsLen-octets long

Steps:

1.
Let bLen be the output size of SHA-256 in octets of [FIPS180‑SHA] (National Institute of Standards and Technology, “Secure Hash Standard,” February 2004.) (no truncation is done on the HMAC output):
bLen = 32
(normally, bLen = 16)

2.
If dsLen > (2**32 - 1) * bLen, output "derived data too long" and stop
3.
Let n be the number of bLen-octet blocks in the output data, rounding up, and let j be the number of octets in the last block:
n = CEILING( dsLen / bLen)
j = dsLen - (n - 1) * bLen

4.
For each block of the pseudorandom string DS, apply the function F defined below to the key k, the string s and the block index to compute the block:
B1 = F (k, s, 1),
B2 = F (k, s, 2),
...
Bn = F (k, s, n)

The function F is defined in terms of the HMAC construction from [RFC2104] (Krawzcyk, H., Bellare, M., and R. Canetti, “HMAC: Keyed-Hashing for Message Authentication,” February 1997.), using SHA-256 as the digest algorithm:

F (k, s, i) = HMAC-SHA256 (k, INT (i) || s)

where INT (i) is a four-octet encoding of the integer i, most significant octet first, and the output length of HMAC is set to bLen.

Concatenate the blocks and extract the first dsLen octets to product the desired data string DS:

DS = B1 || B2 || ... || Bn<0..j-1>

Output the derived data DS.

D.3.3.  Example

If we assume that sLen = 256 (two 128-octet long values) and dsLen = 16, then:

n = CEILING( 16 / 32 ) = 1

j = 16 - (1 - 1) * 32 = 16

B1 = F (k, s, 1) = HMAC-SHA256 (k, INT (1) || s)

DS = B1<0 ... 15>

That is, the result will be the first 16 octets of the HMAC output.
