1.  Introduction

   This document provides guidance on the use of external Pre-Shared
   Keys (PSKs) in Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.3 [RFC8446].  This
   guidance also applies to Datagram TLS (DTLS) 1.3
   [I-D.ietf-tls-dtls13] [RFC9147] and
   Compact TLS 1.3 [I-D.ietf-tls-ctls]. [CTLS].  For readability, this document uses the term TLS
   "TLS" to refer to all such versions.

   External PSKs are symmetric secret keys provided to the TLS protocol
   implementation as external inputs.  External PSKs are provisioned
   out-of-band. out
   of band.

   This document lists TLS security properties provided by PSKs under
   certain assumptions and demonstrates how violations of these
   assumptions lead to attacks.  This document discusses PSK use cases,
   provisioning processes, and TLS stack implementation support in the
   context of these assumptions.  This document also provides advice for
   applications in various use cases to help meet these assumptions.

   There are many resources that provide guidance for password
   generation and verification aimed towards improving security.
   However, there is no such equivalent for external Pre-Shared Keys
   (PSKs) PSKs in TLS.  This
   document aims to reduce that gap.

2.  Conventions and Definitions

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
   BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
   capitals, as shown here.

3.  Notation

   For purposes of this document, a "logical node" is a computing
   presence that other parties can interact with via the TLS protocol.
   A logical node could potentially be realized with multiple physical
   instances operating under common administrative control, e.g., a
   server farm.  An "endpoint" is a client or server participating in a
   connection.

4.  PSK Security Properties

   The use of a previously established PSK allows TLS nodes to
   authenticate the endpoint identities.  It also offers other benefits,
   including resistance to attacks in the presence of quantum computers;
   see Section 4.2 for related discussion.  However, these keys do not
   provide privacy protection of endpoint identities, nor do they
   provide non-repudiation (one endpoint in a connection can deny the
   conversation); see Section 7 for related discussion.

   PSK authentication security implicitly assumes one fundamental
   property: each PSK is known to exactly one client and one server, server and
   that these
   they never switch roles.  If this assumption is violated, then the
   security properties of TLS are severely weakened as discussed below.

4.1.  Shared PSKs

   As discussed in Section 5.1, to demonstrate their attack, [AASS19]
   describes scenarios where multiple clients or multiple servers share
   a PSK.  If this is done naively by having all members share a common
   key, then TLS authenticates only group membership, and the security
   of the overall system is inherently rather brittle.  There are a
   number of obvious weaknesses here:

   1.  Any group member can impersonate any other group member.

   2.  If a PSK is combined with the result of a fresh ephemeral key
       exchange, then compromise of a group member that knows the
       resulting shared secret will enable the attacker to passively
       read traffic (and actively
       modify) traffic. modify it).

   3.  If a PSK is not combined with the result of a fresh ephemeral key
       exchange, then compromise of any group member allows the attacker
       to passively read all traffic (and actively modify) all traffic, modify it), including reading
       past traffic.

   Additionally, a malicious non-member can reroute handshakes between
   honest group members to connect them in unintended ways, as described
   below.  Note that a partial mitigation against for this class of attack is
   available: each group member includes the SNI Server Name Indication
   (SNI) extension [RFC6066] and terminates the connection on mismatch
   between the presented SNI value and the receiving member's known
   identity.  See [Selfie] for details.

   To illustrate the rerouting attack, consider three peers, A, B, and
   C, who all know the PSK.  The attack proceeds as follows:

   1.  A sends a ClientHello to B.

   2.  The attacker intercepts the message and redirects it to C.

   3.  C responds with a second flight (ServerHello, ...) to A.

   4.  A sends a Finished message to B.  A has completed the handshake,
       ostensibly with B.

   5.  The attacker redirects the Finished message to C.  C has
       completed the handshake with A.

   In this attack, peer authentication is not provided.  Also, if C
   supports a weaker set of cipher suites ciphersuites than B, cryptographic algorithm
   downgrade attacks might be possible.  This rerouting is a type of
   identity misbinding attack [Krawczyk][Sethi]. [Krawczyk] [Sethi].  Selfie attack
   [Selfie] is a special case of the rerouting attack against a group
   member that can act both as both a TLS server and a client.  In the Selfie
   attack, a malicious non-member reroutes a connection from the client
   to the server on the same endpoint.

   Finally, in addition to these weaknesses, sharing a PSK across nodes
   may negatively affect deployments.  For example, revocation of
   individual group members is not possible without establishing a new
   PSK for all of the non-revoked members. members that have not been revoked.

4.2.  PSK Entropy

   Entropy properties of external PSKs may also affect TLS security
   properties.  For example, if a high entropy high-entropy PSK is used, then PSK-
   only key establishment modes provide expected security properties for
   TLS, including establishing establishment of the same session keys between peers,
   secrecy of session keys, peer authentication, and downgrade
   protection.  See [RFC8446], Appendix E.1 of [RFC8446] for an explanation of
   these properties.  However, these modes lack forward security.
   Forward security may be achieved by using a PSK-DH mode, or, alternatively, mode or by using
   PSKs with short lifetimes.

   In contrast, if a low entropy low-entropy PSK is used, then PSK-only key
   establishment modes are subject to passive exhaustive search attacks attacks,
   which will reveal the traffic keys.  PSK-DH modes are subject to
   active attacks in which the attacker impersonates one side.  The
   exhaustive search phase of these attacks can be mounted offline if
   the attacker captures a single handshake using the PSK, but those
   attacks will not lead to compromise of the traffic keys for that
   connection because those also depend on the Diffie-Hellman (DH)
   exchange.  Low entropy  Low-entropy keys are only secure against active attack if
   a password-authenticated key exchange Password-Authenticated Key Exchange (PAKE) is used with TLS.  The  At
   the time of writing, the Crypto Forum Research Group (CFRG) is currently
   working on specifying recommended PAKEs (see [I-D.irtf-cfrg-cpace] [CPACE] and
   [I-D.irtf-cfrg-opaque], [OPAQUE] for
   the symmetric and asymmetric cases, respectively).

5.  External PSKs in Practice

   PSK ciphersuites were first specified for TLS in 2005.  PSKs are now
   an integral part of the TLS version 1.3 specification [RFC8446].  TLS 1.3
   also uses PSKs for session resumption.  It distinguishes these
   resumption PSKs from external PSKs which that have been provisioned out-
   of-band. out of
   band.  This section describes known use cases and provisioning
   processes for external PSKs with TLS.

5.1.  Use Cases

   This section lists some example use-cases use cases where pair-wise pairwise external
   PSKs, i.e.,
   PSKs (i.e., external PSKs that are shared between only one server and
   one client, client) have been used for authentication in TLS.  There was no
   attempt to prioritize the examples in any particular order.

   *  Device-to-device communication with out-of-band synchronized keys.
      PSKs provisioned out-of-band out of band for communicating with known
      identities, wherein the identity to use is discovered via a
      different online protocol.

   *  Intra-data-center communication.  Machine-to-machine communication
      within a single data center or point-of-presence Point of Presence (PoP) may use
      externally provisioned PSKs, PSKs; this is primarily for the purposes purpose of
      supporting TLS connections with early data; see data.  See Section 8 for
      considerations when using early data with external PSKs.

   *  Certificateless server-to-server communication.  Machine-to-
      machine communication may use externally provisioned PSKs, PSKs; this is
      primarily for the purposes of establishing TLS connections without
      requiring the overhead of provisioning and managing PKI
      certificates.

   *  Internet of Things (IoT) and devices with limited computational
      capabilities.  [RFC7925] defines TLS and DTLS profiles for
      resource-constrained devices and suggests the use of PSK
      ciphersuites for compliant devices.  The Open Mobile Alliance
      Lightweight Machine to Machine Machine-to-Machine (LwM2M) Technical Specification
      [LwM2M] states that LwM2M servers MUST support the PSK mode of
      DTLS.

   *  Securing RADIUS [RFC2865] with TLS.  PSK ciphersuites are optional
      for this use case, as specified in [RFC6614].

   *  3GPP server to user server-to-user equipment authentication.  The Generic
      Authentication Architecture (GAA) defined by 3GGP 3GPP mentions that
      TLS-PSK
      TLS PSK ciphersuites can be used between server and user equipment
      for authentication [GAA].

   *  Smart Cards.  The electronic German ID electronic Identity (eID) card supports
      authentication of a card holder to online services with TLS-PSK TLS PSK
      [SmartCard].

   *  Quantum resistance.  Some deployments may use PSKs (or combine
      them with certificate-based authentication as described in
      [RFC8773]) because of the protection they provide against quantum
      computers.

   There are also use cases where PSKs are shared between more than two
   entities.  Some examples below (as noted by Akhmetzyanova Akhmetzyanova, et al.
   [AASS19]):

   *  Group chats.  In this use-case, use case, group participants may be
      provisioned an external PSK out-of-band out of band for establishing
      authenticated connections with other members of the group.

   *  Internet of Things (IoT)  IoT and devices with limited computational capabilities.  Many PSK
      provisioning examples are possible in this
      use-case. use case.  For example,
      in a given setting, IoT devices may all share the same PSK and use
      it to communicate with a central server (one key for n devices),
      have their own key for communicating with a central server (n keys
      for n devices), or have pairwise keys for communicating with each
      other (n^2 keys for n devices).

5.2.  Provisioning Examples

   The exact provisioning process depends on the system requirements and
   threat model.  Whenever possible, avoid sharing a PSK between nodes;
   however, sharing a PSK among several nodes is sometimes unavoidable.
   When PSK sharing happens, other accommodations SHOULD be used as
   discussed in Section 6.

   Examples of PSK provisioning processes are included below.

   *  Many industrial protocols assume that PSKs are distributed and
      assigned manually via one of the following approaches: (1) typing
      the PSK into the devices, devices or (2) using a Trust On First Use trust-on-first-use (TOFU)
      approach with a device completely unprotected before the first
      login did take took place.  Many devices have a very limited UI.  For
      example, they may only have a numeric keypad or even fewer
      buttons.  When the TOFU approach is not suitable, entering the key
      would require typing it on a constrained UI.

   *  Some devices provision PSKs via an out-of-band, cloud-based
      syncing protocol.

   *  Some secrets may be baked into hardware or software device
      components.  Moreover, when this is done at manufacturing time,
      secrets may be printed on labels or included in a Bill of
      Materials for ease of scanning or import.

5.3.  Provisioning Constraints

   PSK provisioning systems are often constrained in application-
   specific ways.  For example, although one goal of provisioning is to
   ensure that each pair of nodes has a unique key pair, some systems do
   not want to distribute pair-wise pairwise shared keys to achieve this.  As
   another example, some systems require the provisioning process to
   embed application-specific information in either PSKs or their
   identities.  Identities may sometimes need to be routable, as is
   currently under discussion for EAP-TLS-PSK
   [I-D.mattsson-emu-eap-tls-psk]. [EAP-TLS-PSK].

6.  Recommendations for External PSK Usage

   Recommended requirements for applications using external PSKs are as
   follows:

   1.  Each PSK SHOULD be derived from at least 128 bits of entropy,
       MUST be at least 128 bits long, and SHOULD be combined with an
       ephemeral key exchange, e.g., by using the "psk_dhe_ke" Pre-
       Shared Key Exchange Mode in TLS 1.3, 1.3 for forward secrecy.  As
       discussed in Section 4, low entropy PSKs, i.e., low-entropy PSKs (i.e., those derived
       from less than 128 bits of entropy, entropy) are subject to attack and
       SHOULD be avoided.  If only low-entropy keys are available, then
       key establishment mechanisms such as Password Authenticated Key
       Exchange (PAKE) PAKE that mitigate the risk
       of offline dictionary attacks SHOULD be employed.  Note that no
       such mechanisms have yet been standardised, standardized, and further that
       these mechanisms will not necessarily follow the same
       architecture as the process for incorporating external PSKs
       described in
       [I-D.ietf-tls-external-psk-importer]. [RFC9258].

   2.  Unless other accommodations are made to mitigate the risks of
       PSKs known to a group, each PSK MUST be restricted in its use to
       at most two logical nodes: one logical node in a TLS client role
       and one logical node in a TLS server role.  (The two logical
       nodes MAY be the same, in different roles.)  Two acceptable
       accommodations are described in
       [I-D.ietf-tls-external-psk-importer]: [RFC9258]: (1) exchanging client
       and server identifiers over the TLS connection after the handshake,
       handshake and (2) incorporating identifiers for both the client
       and the server into the context string for an external PSK
       importer.

   3.  Nodes SHOULD use external PSK importers
       [I-D.ietf-tls-external-psk-importer] [RFC9258] when
       configuring PSKs for a client-server pair when applicable.
       Importers make provisioning external PSKs easier and less error error-
       prone by deriving a unique, imported PSK from the external PSK
       for each key derivation function a node supports.  See the
       Security Considerations in
       [I-D.ietf-tls-external-psk-importer] of [RFC9258] for more information.

   4.  Where possible possible, the main PSK (that which is fed into the
       importer) SHOULD be deleted after the imported keys have been
       generated.  This prevents an attacker from bootstrapping a
       compromise of one node into the ability to attack connections
       between any node;
       otherwise otherwise, the attacker can recover the main
       key and then re-run the importer itself.

6.1.  Stack Interfaces

   Most major TLS implementations support external PSKs.  Stacks
   supporting external PSKs provide interfaces that applications may use
   when configuring PSKs for individual connections.  Details about some
   existing stacks at the time of writing are below.

   *  OpenSSL and BoringSSL: Applications can specify support for
      external PSKs via distinct ciphersuites in TLS 1.2 and below.
      They also
      Also, they can then configure callbacks that are invoked for PSK
      selection during the handshake.  These callbacks must provide a
      PSK identity and key.  The exact format of the callback depends on
      the negotiated TLS protocol version, with new callback functions
      added specifically to OpenSSL for TLS 1.3 [RFC8446] PSK support.
      The PSK length is validated to be between [1, 256] bytes. 1-256 bytes (inclusive).
      The PSK identity may be up to 128 bytes long.

   *  mbedTLS: Client applications configure PSKs before creating a
      connection by providing the PSK identity and value inline.
      Servers must implement callbacks similar to that of OpenSSL.  Both
      PSK identity and key lengths may be between [1, 16] 1-16 bytes long. long
      (inclusive).

   *  gnuTLS: Applications configure PSK values, either values as either raw byte
      strings or hexadecimal strings.  The PSK identity and key size are
      not validated.

   *  wolfSSL: Applications configure PSKs with callbacks similar to
      OpenSSL.

6.1.1.  PSK Identity Encoding and Comparison

   Section 5.1 of [RFC4279] mandates that the PSK identity should be
   first converted to a character string and then encoded to octets
   using UTF-8.  This was done to avoid interoperability problems
   (especially when the identity is configured by human users).  On the
   other hand, [RFC7925] advises implementations against assuming any
   structured format for PSK identities and recommends byte-by-byte
   comparison for any operation.  When PSK identities are configured
   manually
   manually, it is important to be aware that due to encoding issues visually identical strings
   may, in fact, differ. differ due to encoding issues.

   TLS version 1.3 [RFC8446] follows the same practice of specifying the PSK
   identity as a sequence of opaque bytes (shown as opaque
   identity<1..2^16-1> in the specification) that thus is compared on a
   byte-by-byte basis.  [RFC8446] also requires that the PSK identities
   are at least 1 byte and at the most 65535 bytes in length.  Although
   [RFC8446] does not place strict requirements on the format of PSK
   identities, we do however note that the format of PSK identities can vary depending
   on the deployment:

   *  The PSK identity MAY be a user configured user-configured string when used in
      protocols like Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) [RFC3748].
      For example, gnuTLS for example treats PSK identities as usernames.

   *  PSK identities MAY have a domain name suffix for roaming and
      federation.  In applications and settings where the domain name
      suffix is privacy sensitive, this practice is NOT RECOMMENDED.

   *  Deployments should take care that the length of the PSK identity
      is sufficient to avoid collisions.

6.1.2.  PSK Identity Collisions

   It is possible, though unlikely, that an external PSK identity may
   clash with a resumption PSK identity.  The TLS stack implementation
   and sequencing of PSK callbacks influences the application's behavior
   when identity collisions occur.  When a server receives a PSK
   identity in a TLS 1.3 ClientHello, some TLS stacks execute the
   application's registered callback function before checking the
   stack's internal session resumption cache.  This means that if a PSK
   identity collision occurs, the application's external PSK usage will
   typically take precedence over the internal session resumption path.

   Since

   Because resumption PSK identities are assigned by the TLS stack
   implementation, it is RECOMMENDED that these identifiers be assigned
   in a manner that lets resumption PSKs be distinguished from external
   PSKs to avoid concerns with collisions altogether.

7.  Privacy Considerations

   PSK privacy properties are orthogonal to security properties
   described in Section 4.  TLS does little to keep PSK identity
   information private.  For example, an adversary learns information
   about the external PSK or its identifier by virtue of the identifier
   appearing in cleartext in a ClientHello.  As a result, a passive
   adversary can link two or more connections together that use the same
   external PSK on the wire.  Depending on the PSK identity, a passive
   attacker may also be able to identify the device, person, or
   enterprise running the TLS client or TLS server.  An active attacker
   can also use the PSK identity to suppress handshakes or application
   data from a specific device by blocking, delaying, or rate-limiting
   traffic.  Techniques for mitigating these risks require further
   analysis and are out of scope for this document.

   In addition to linkability in the network, external PSKs are
   intrinsically linkable by PSK receivers.  Specifically, servers can
   link successive connections that use the same external PSK together.
   Preventing this type of linkability is out of scope.

8.  Security Considerations

   Security considerations are provided throughout this document.  It
   bears repeating that there are concerns related to the use of
   external PSKs regarding proper identification of TLS 1.3 endpoints
   and additional risks when external PSKs are known to a group.

   It is NOT RECOMMENDED to share the same PSK between more than one
   client and server.  However, as discussed in Section 5.1, there are
   application scenarios that may rely on sharing the same PSK among
   multiple nodes.  [I-D.ietf-tls-external-psk-importer]  [RFC9258] helps in mitigating rerouting and Selfie Selfie-
   style reflection attacks when the PSK is shared among multiple nodes.
   This is achieved by correctly using the node identifiers in the
   ImportedIdentity.context construct specified in [I-D.ietf-tls-external-psk-importer]. [RFC9258].  One
   solution would be for each endpoint to select one globally unique
   identifier
   and to use it in all PSK handshakes.  The unique identifier can,
   for example, be one of its MAC Media Access Control (MAC) addresses, a
   32-byte random number, or its Universally Unique IDentifier (UUID)
   [RFC4122].  Note that such persistent, global identifiers have
   privacy implications; see Section 7.

   Each endpoint SHOULD know the identifier of the other endpoint with
   which it wants to connect and SHOULD compare it with the other
   endpoint's identifier used in ImportedIdentity.context.  It  However, it
   is
   however important to remember that endpoints sharing the same group PSK
   can always impersonate each other.

   Considerations for external PSK usage extend beyond proper
   identification.  When early data is used with an external PSK, the
   random value in the ClientHello is the only source of entropy that
   contributes to key diversity between sessions.  As a result, when an
   external PSK is used more than one time, the random number source on
   the client has a significant role in the protection of the early
   data.
