                   Camellia Encryption for Kerberos 5

Abstract

   This document specifies two encryption types and two corresponding
   checksum types for the Kerberos cryptosystem framework defined in RFC
   3961.  The new types use the Camellia block cipher in CBC mode with
   ciphertext stealing and the CMAC algorithm for integrity protection.

1.  Introduction

   The Camellia block cipher, described in [RFC3713], has a 128-bit
   block size and a 128-bit, 192-bit, or 256-bit key size, similar to
   AES.  This document specifies Kerberos encryption and checksum types
   for Camellia using 128-bit or 256-bit keys.  The new types conform to
   the framework specified in [RFC3961] but do not use the simplified
   profile.

   Like the simplified profile, the new types use key derivation to
   produce keys for encryption, integrity protection, and checksum
   operations.  Instead of the key derivation function described in
   [RFC3961], Section 5.1, the new types use a key derivation function
   from the family specified in [SP800-108].

   The new types use the CMAC algorithm for integrity protection and
   checksum operations.  As a consequence, they do not rely on a hash
   algorithm except when generating keys from strings.

   Like the AES encryption types [RFC3962], the new encryption types use
   CBC mode with ciphertext stealing [RFC3962] to avoid the need for
   padding.  They also use the same PBKDF2 algorithm for key generation
   from strings, with a modification to the salt string to ensure that
   different keys are generated for Camellia and AES encryption types.

2.  Protocol Key Representation

   The Camellia key space is dense, so we use random octet strings
   directly as keys.  The first bit of the Camellia bit string is the
   high bit of the first byte of the random octet string.

3.  Key Derivation

   We use a key derivation function from the family specified in
   [SP800-108], Section 5.2, "KDF in Feedback Mode".  The PRF parameter
   of the key derivation function is CMAC with Camellia-128 or
   Camellia-256 as the underlying block cipher; this PRF has an output
   size of 128 bits.  A block counter is used with a length of 4 bytes,
   represented in big-endian order.  The length of the output key in
   bits (denoted as k) is also represented as a 4-byte string in big-
   endian order.  The label input to the KDF is the usage constant
   supplied to the key derivation function, and the context is unused.
   In the following summary, | indicates concatenation.  The random-to-
   key function is the identity function, as defined in Section 6.  The
   k-truncate function is defined in [RFC3961], Section 5.1.

   n = ceiling(k / 128)
   K(0) = zeros
   K(i) = CMAC(key, K(i-1) | i | constant | 0x00 | k)
   DR(key, constant) = k-truncate(K(1) | K(2) | ... | K(n))
   KDF-FEEDBACK-CMAC(key, constant) = random-to-key(DR(key, constant))

   The constants used for key derivation are the same as those used in
   the simplified profile.

4.  Key Generation from Strings

   We use a variation on the key generation algorithm specified in
   [RFC3962], Section 4.

   First, to ensure that different long-term keys are used with Camellia
   and AES, we prepend the enctype name to the salt string, separated by
   a null byte.  The enctype name is "camellia128-cts-cmac" or
   "camellia256-cts-cmac" (without the quotes).

   Second, the final key derivation step uses the algorithm described in
   Section 3 instead of the key derivation algorithm used by the
   simplified profile.

   Third, if no string-to-key parameters are specified, the default
   number of iterations is raised to 32768.

   saltp = enctype-name | 0x00 | salt
   tkey = random-to-key(PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA1(passphrase, saltp,
                                         iter_count, keylength))
   key = KDF-FEEDBACK-CMAC(tkey, "kerberos")

5.  CMAC Checksum Algorithm

   For integrity protection and checksums, we use the CMAC function
   defined in [SP800-38B], with Camellia-128 or Camellia-256 as the
   underlying block cipher.  The output length (Tlen) is 128 bits for
   both key sizes.

6.  Encryption Algorithm Parameters

   The following parameters, required by [RFC3961], Section 3, apply to
   the encryption types camellia128-cts-cmac, which uses a 128-bit
   protocol key, and camellia256-cts-cmac, which uses a 256-bit protocol
   key.

   Protocol key format: as defined in Section 2.

   Specific key structure: three protocol format keys: { Kc, Ke, Ki }.

   Required checksum mechanism: as defined in Section 7.

   Key generation seed length: the key size (128 or 256 bits).

   String-to-key function: as defined in Section 4.

   Random-to-key function: identity function.

   Key-derivation function: as indicated below, with usage represented
   as 4 octets in big-endian order.

   String-to-key parameter format: 4 octets indicating a 32-bit
   iteration count in big-endian order.  Implementations may limit the
   count as specified in [RFC3962], Section 4.

   Default string-to-key parameters: 00 00 80 00.

   Kc = KDF-FEEDBACK-CMAC(base-key, usage | 0x99)
   Ke = KDF-FEEDBACK-CMAC(base-key, usage | 0xAA)
   Ki = KDF-FEEDBACK-CMAC(base-key, usage | 0x55)

   Cipher state: a 128-bit CBC initialization vector.

   Initial cipher state: all bits zero.

   Encryption function: as follows, where E() is Camellia encryption in
   CBC-CTS mode, with the next-to-last block used as the CBC-style ivec,
   or the last block if there is only one.

   conf = Random string of 128 bits
   (C, newstate) = E(Ke, conf | plaintext, oldstate)
   M = CMAC(Ki, conf | plaintext)
   ciphertext = C | M

   Decryption function: as follows, where D() is Camellia decryption in
   CBC-CTS mode, with the ivec treated as in E().  To separate the
   ciphertext into C and M components, use the final 16 bytes for M and
   all of the preceding bytes for C.

   (C, M) = ciphertext
   (P, newIV) = D(Ke, C, oldstate)
   if (M != CMAC(Ki, P)) report error
   newstate = newIV

   Pseudo-random function: as follows.

   Kp = KDF-FEEDBACK-CMAC(protocol-key, "prf")
   PRF = CMAC(Kp, octet-string)

7.  Checksum Parameters

   The following parameters, required by [RFC3961], Section 4, apply to
   the checksum types cmac-camellia128 and cmac-camellia256, which are
   the associated checksum for camellia128-cts-cmac and camellia256-cts-
   cmac, respectively.

   Associated cryptosystem: Camellia-128 or Camellia-256 as appropriate
   for the checksum type.

   get_mic: CMAC(Kc, message).

   verify_mic: get_mic and compare.

8.  Security Considerations

   Chapter 4 of [CRYPTOENG] discusses weaknesses of the CBC cipher mode.
   An attacker who can observe enough messages generated with the same
   key to encounter a collision in ciphertext blocks could recover the
   XOR of the plaintexts of the previous blocks.  Observing such a
   collision becomes likely as the number of blocks observed approaches
   2^64.  This consideration applies to all previously standardized
   Kerberos encryption types and all uses of CBC encryption with 128-bit
   block ciphers in other protocols.  Kerberos deployments can mitigate
   this concern by rolling over keys often enough to make observing 2^64
   messages unlikely.

   Because the new checksum types are deterministic, an attacker could
   pre-compute checksums for a known plain-text message in 2^64 randomly
   chosen protocol keys.  The attacker could then observe checksums
   legitimately computed in different keys until a collision with one of
   the pre-computed keys is observed; this becomes likely after the
   number of observed checksums approaches 2^64.  Observing such a
   collision allows the attacker to recover the protocol key.  This
   consideration applies to most previously standardized Kerberos
   checksum types and most uses of 128-bit checksums in other protocols.

   Kerberos deployments should not migrate to the Camellia encryption
   types simply because they are newer, but should use them only if
   business needs require the use of Camellia, or if a serious flaw is
   discovered in AES which does not apply to Camellia.

   The security considerations described in [RFC3962], Section 8,
   regarding the string-to-key algorithm also apply to the Camellia
   encryption types.

   At the time of writing this document, there are no known weak keys
   for Camellia, and no security problem has been found on Camellia (see
   [NESSIE], [CRYPTREC], and [LNCS5867]).

9.  IANA Considerations

   IANA has assigned the following numbers from the Encryption Type
   Numbers and Checksum Type Numbers registries defined in [RFC3961],
   Section 11.
