+Abstract
+
+ This document describes an extension to the TLS protocol to allow TLS
+ clients to authenticate with legacy credentials using the Extensible
+ Authentication Protocol (EAP).
+
+ This work follows the example of IKEv2, where EAP has been added to
+ the IKEv2 protocol to allow clients to use different credentials such
+ as passwords, token cards, and shared secrets.
+
+ When TLS is used with EAP, additional records are sent after the
+ ChangeCipherSpec protocol message, effectively creating an extended
+ handshake before the application layer data can be sent. Each EapMsg
+ handshake record contains exactly one EAP message. Using EAP for
+ client authentication allows TLS to be used with various AAA back-end
+ servers such as RADIUS or Diameter.
+
+ TLS with EAP may be used for securing a data connection such as HTTP
+ or POP3, where the ability of EAP to work with backend servers can
+ remove that burden from the application layer.
+
+ This document is a protocol model, rather than a full protocol
+ specification.

+
+
+1. Introduction
+
+ This document describes a new extension to [TLS]. This extension
+ allows a TLS client to authenticate using [EAP] instead of using a
+ certificate, or alternatively performing the authentication at the
+ application level. The extension follows [TLS-EXT]. For the
+ remainder of this document we will refer to this extension as TEE
+ (TLS with EAP Extension). The document is a protocol model as
+ described in [RFC4101].
+
+ TEE extends the TLS handshake beyond the regular setup, to allow the
+ EAP protocol to run between the TLS server (called an "authenticator"
+ in EAP) and the TLS client (called a "supplicant"). This allows the
+ TLS architecture to handle client authentication before exposing the
+ server application software to an unauthenticated client. In doing
+ this, we follow the approach taken for IKEv2 in [IKEv2]. However,
+ similar to regular TLS, we protect the user identity by only sending
+ the client identity after the server has authenticated. In this our
+ solution defers from that of IKEv2.
+
+ Currently used applications use TLS to authenticate the server only.
+ After that, the application takes over, and presents a login screen
+ where the user is expected to present their credentials.
+
+ This creates several problems. It allows a client to access the
+ application before authentication, thus creating a potential for
+ anonymous attacks on non-hardened applications. Additionally, web
+ pages are not particularly well suited for long shared secrets and
+ for certain devices such as USB tokens.
+
+ TEE allows full mutual authentication to occur for all these
+ applications within the TLS exchange. The application receives
+ control only when the user is identified and authenticated. The
+ authentication can be built into the server infrastructure by
+ connecting to an AAA server. The client side can be integrated into
+ client software such as web browsers and mail clients. An EAP
+ infrastructure is already built-in to some operating systems
+ providing a user interface for each authentication method within EAP.
+
+ We intend TEE to be used for various protocols that use TLS such as
+ HTTPS, in cases where certificate based authentication is not
+ practical. This includes web-based mail services, online banking,
+ premium content websites and mail clients.
+
+ Another class of applications that may see benefit from TEE are TLS
+ based VPN clients used as part of so-called "SSL VPN" products. No
+ such client protocols have so far been standardized.

+
+ TEE will work between a client application and a server application,
+ taking care of all encryption and authentication.

+
+ The above diagram shows the typical deployment. The client has
+ software that either includes a UI for some EAP methods, or else is
+ able to invoke some operating system EAP infrastructure that takes
+ care of the user interaction. The server is configured with the
+ address and protocol of the AAA server. Typically the AAA server
+ communicates using the RADIUS protocol with EAP ([RADIUS] and
+ [RAD-EAP]), or the Diameter protocol ([Diameter] and [Dia-EAP]).
+
+ As stated in the introduction, we expect TEE to be used in both
+ browsers and applications. Further uses may be authentication and
+ key generation for other protocols, and tunneling clients, which so
+ far have not been standardized.

+3. Protocol Overview
+
+ The TEE extension defines the following:
+ o A new extension type called tee_supported, used to indicate that
+ the client supports this extension.
+ o A new message type for the handshake protocol, called InterimAuth,
+ which is used to sign previous messages.
+ o A new message type for the handshake protocol, called EapMsg,
+ which is used to carry a single EAP message.
+
+ The diagram below outlines the protocol structure. For illustration
+ purposes only, we use the [I-D.dpotter-pppext-eap-mschap] EAP method
+ .
+
+ Client Server
+ ------ ------
+
+ ClientHello(*) -------->
+ ServerHello(*)
+ (Certificate)
+ ServerKeyExchange

+ InterimAuth
+ EapMsg(MS-CHAP-v2-Request)
+ <--------
+ EapMsg(MS-CHAP-v2-Reply) -------->
+ EapMsg(Success)
+ <-------- Finished
+ Finished -------->
+
+ (*) The ClientHello and ServerHello include the tee_supported
+ extension to indicate support for TEE
+
+
+ The client indicates in the first message its support for TEE. The
+ server sends an EAP identity request in the reply. The client sends
+ the identity reply after the handshake completion. The EAP request-
+ response sequence continues until the client is either authenticated
+ or rejected.

+
+
+3.1. The tee_supported Extension
+
+ The tee_supported extension is a ClientHello and ServerHello
+ extension as defined in section 2.3 of [TLS-EXT]. The extension_type
+ field is TBA by IANA. The extension_data is zero-length.
+
+3.2. The InterimAuth Handshake Message
+
+ The InterimAuth message is identical in syntax to the Finished
+ message described in section 7.4.9 of [TLS]. It is calculated in
+ exactly the same way.
+
+ The semantics, however, are somewhat different. The "Finished"
+ message indicates that application data may now be sent. The
+ "InterimAuth" message does not indicate this. Instead, further
+ handshake messages are needed.
+
+ Depending on the EAP method used, the Finished message may be
+ calculated differently. See Section 3.4 for details.
+
+ The HandshakeType value for the InterimAuth handshake message is TBA
+ by IANA.
+
+3.3. The EapMsg Handshake Message
+
+ The EapMsg handshake message carries exactly one EAP message as
+ defined in [EAP].
+
+ The HandshakeType value for the EapMsg handshake message is TBA by
+ IANA.
+
+ The EapMsg message is used to tunnel EAP messages between the
+ authentication server, which may be the co-located with the TLS
+ server, or may be a separate AAA server, and the supplicant, which is
+ co-located with the TLS client. TLS on either side receives the EAP
+ data from the EAP infrastructure, and treats it as opaque. TLS does
+ not make any changes to the EAP payload or make any decisions based
+ on the contents of an EapMsg handshake message.
+
+3.4. Calculating the Finished message
+
+ If the EAP method is key-generating, the Finished message is
+ calculated as follows:
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Nir, et al. Expires August 25, 2007 [Page 8]
+\f
+Internet-Draft TEE PM February 2007
+
+
+ struct {
+ opaque verify_data[12];
+ } Finished;
+
+ verify_data
+ PRF(MSK, finished_label, MD5(handshake_messages) +
+ SHA-1(handshake_messages)) [0..11];
+
+ The finished_label is defined exactly as in section 7.4.9 of [TLS].
+
+ The handshake_messages, similar to regular TLS is all of the data
+ from all messages in this handshake, including any EapMsg and
+ InterimAuth messages, up to but not including this Finished message.
+ This is the concatenation of all the Handshake structures, as defined
+ in section 7.4 of [TLS] and here, exchanged thus far.
+
+ The MSK is typically received from the AAA server over the RADIUS or
+ Diameter protocol.
+
+ If the EAP method is not key-generating, then the Finished message is
+ calculated exactly as described in [TLS]. Such methods however, are
+ NOT RECOMMENDED. See Section 4.1 for details.

+
+
+4. Security Considerations
+
+4.1. InterimAuth vs. Finished
+
+ In regular TLS, the Finished message provides two functions: it signs
+ all previous messages, and it signals that application data can now
+ be used. In TEE, we sign the previous messages twice.
+
+ Some EAP methods, such as EAP-TLS, EAP-IKEv2 and EAP-SIM generate
+ keys in addition to authenticating clients. Such methods are said to
+ be resistant to MITM attacks as discussed in [MITM]. Such methods
+ are called key-generating methods.
+
+ To realize the benefit of such methods, we need to verify the key
+ that was generated within the EAP method. This is referred to as the
+ MSK in EAP. In TEE, the InterimAuth message signs all previous
+ messages with the master_secret, just like the Finished message in
+ regular TLS. The Finished message signs all previous messages using
+ the MSK if such exists. If not, then the messages are signed with
+ the master_secret as in regular TLS.
+
+ The need for signing twice arises from the fact that we need to use
+ both the master_secret and the MSK. It was possible to use just one
+ Finished record and blend the MSK into the master_secret. However,
+ this would needlessly complicate the protocol and make security
+ analysis more difficult. Instead, we have decided to follow the
+ example of IKEv2, where two AUTH payloads are exchanged.
+
+ It should be noted that using non-key-generating methods may expose
+ the client to a MITM attack if the same MITM method is used in some
+ other situation, in which the EAP is done outside of a protected
+ tunnel with an authenticated server. Unless it can be determined
+ that the EAP method is never used in such a situation, non-key-
+ generating methods SHOULD NOT be used.
+
+4.2. Identity Protection
+
+ Unlike [TLS-PSK], TEE provides identity protection for the client.
+ The client's identity is hidden from a passive eavesdropper using TLS
+ encryption, and it is not sent to the server until after the server's
+ identity has been authenticated by verifying the certificate.
+
+ Active attacks are thwarted by the server authentication using a
+ certificate or by using a suitable EAP method.
+
+ We could save one round-trip by having the client send its identity
+ within the Client Hello message. This is similar to TLS-PSK.
+ However, we believe that identity protection is a worthy enough goal,
+
+
+
+Nir, et al. Expires August 25, 2007 [Page 10]

+
+ so as to justify the extra round-trip.

+
+
+5. Performance Considerations
+
+ Regular TLS adds two round-trips to a TCP connection. However,
+ because of the stream nature of TCP, the client does not really need
+ to wait for the server's Finished message, and can begin sending
+ application data immediately after its own Finished message. In
+ practice, many clients do so, and TLS only adds one round-trip of
+ delay.
+
+ TEE adds as many round-trips as the EAP method requires. For
+ example, EAP-MD5 requires 1 round-trip, while EAP-SIM requires 2
+ round-trips. Additionally, the client MUST wait for the EAP-Success
+ message before sending its own Finished message, so we need at least
+ 3 round-trips for the entire handshake. The best a client can do is
+ two round-trips plus however many round-trips the EAP method
+ requires.
+
+ It should be noted, though, that these extra round-trips save
+ processing time at the application level. Two extra round-trips take
+ a lot less time than presenting a log-in web page and processing the
+ user's input.
+
+ It should also be noted, that TEE reverses the order of the Finished
+ messages. In regular TLS the client sends the Finished message
+ first. In TEE it is the server that sends the Finished message
+ first. This should not affect performance, and it is clear that the
+ client may send application data immediately after the Finished
+ message.
