Introduction + + This document describes the use of AES [AES]in Galois Counter Mode + (GCM) [GCM] (AES-GCM) with RSA based key exchange as a ciphersuite + for TLS. This mechanism is not only efficient and secure, hardware + implementations can achieve high speeds with low cost and low + latency, because the mode can be pipelined. Applications like + CAPWAP, which uses DTLS, can benefit from the high-speed + implementations when wireless termination points (WTPs) and + controllers (ACs) have to meet requirements to support higher + throughputs in the future. AES-GCM has been specified as a mode that + can be used with IPsec ESP [RFC4106] and 802.1AE MAC Security + [IEEE8021AE]. It also is part of the NSA suite B ciphersuites for + TLS [I-D.rescorla-tls-suiteb]; however in order to meet Suite B + requirements these ciphersuites require ECC base key exchange and TLS + 1.2. The ciphersuites defined in this document are based on RSA + which allows the use of AES-GCM in environments that have not + deployed ECC algorithms and do not need to meet NSA Suite B + requirements. AES-GCM is an authenticated encryption with associated + data (AEAD) operation, as used in TLS 1.2[I-D.ietf-tls-rfc4346-bis]. + The ciphersuites defined in this draft may be used with DTLS defined + in [RFC4347] and [I-D.ietf-tls-ctr]. This memo uses GCM in a way + similar to [I-D.rescorla-tls-suiteb]. + + +2. Conventions Used In This Document + + The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", + "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this + document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119] + + +3. RSA Based AES-GCM Cipher Suites + + The ciphersuites defined in this document are based on the the AES- + GCM authenticated encryption with associated data (AEAD) algorithms + AEAD_AES_128_GCM and AEAD_AES_256_GCM described in + [I-D.mcgrew-auth-enc]. Note that this specification uses a 128-bit + authentication tag with GCM. The following ciphersuites are defined: + + CipherSuite TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 = {TBD1,TBD1} + CipherSuite TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 = {TBD2,TBD2} + CipherSuite TLS_RSA_DHE_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 = {TBD3,TBD3} + CipherSuite TLS_RSA_DHE_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 = {TBD4,TBD4} + + These ciphersuites make use of the AEAD capability in TLS 1.2 + [I-D.ietf-tls-rfc4346-bis]. The "nonce" SHALL be 12 bytes long and + constructed from a salt and a counter as follows: + + + +Salowey, et al. Expires August 29, 2007 [Page 3] + +Internet-Draft RSA AES-GCM Ciphersuites February 2007 + + + Struct{ + uint32 salt; + uint64 counter; + } GCMNonce + + The salt is derived form the TLS key block as follows: + + struct { + case client: + uint32 client_write_IV; // low order 32-bits + case server: + uint32 server_write_IV; // low order 32-bits + } salt + + + In the case of TLS the counter is the 64 bit sequence number. In the + case of DTLS the counter is formed from the concatenation of the 16- + bit epoch with the 48-bit sequence number. + + The RSA and RSA-DHE key exchange is performed as defined in + [I-D.ietf-tls-rfc4346-bis]. + + Recall that an AEAD operation replaces the use of HMAC as a MAC, but + not as a PRF for the purposes of key derivation. Consequently, the + hash function for the TLS PRF must be explicitly specified by the + ciphersuite. For TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 and + TLS_RSA_DHE_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 the hash function is SHA256. For + TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 and + TLS_RSA_DHE_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 the hash function is SHA384. + + +4. TLS Versions + + These ciphersuites make use of the authenticated encryption with + additional data defined in TLS 1.2 [I-D.ietf-tls-rfc4346-bis]. They + MUST NOT be negotiated in older versions of TLS. Clients MUST NOT + offer these cipher suites if they do not offer TLS 1.2 or later. + Servers which select an earlier version of TLS MUST NOT select one of + these cipher suites. Because TLS has no way for the client to + indicate that it supports TLS 1.2 but not earlier, a non-compliant + server might potentially negotiate TLS 1.1 or earlier and select one + of the cipher suites in this document. Clients MUST check the TLS + version and generate a fatal "illegal_parameter" alert if they detect + an incorrect version. + + + + + + + +Salowey, et al. Expires August 29, 2007 [Page 4] + +Internet-Draft RSA AES-GCM Ciphersuites February 2007 + + +5. IANA Considerations + + IANA has assigned the following values for the ciphersuites defined + in this draft: + + CipherSuite TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 = {TBD1,TBD1} + CipherSuite TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 = {TBD2,TBD2} + CipherSuite TLS_RSA_DHE_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 = {TBD3,TBD3} + CipherSuite TLS_RSA_DHE_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 = {TBD4,TBD4} + + +6. Security Considerations + +6.1. Perfect Forward Secrecy + + The perfect forward secrecy properties of RSA based TLS ciphersuites + are discussed in the security analysis of [RFC4346]. It should be + noted that only the ephemeral Diffie-Hellman based ciphersuites are + capable of providing perfect forward secrecy. + +6.2. Counter Reuse + + AES-GCM security requires that the counter is never reused. The IV + construction in Section 3 is designed to prevent counter reuse. + + +7.
