Networking Working Group R. Alexander Internet-Draft T. Tsao Intended status: Standards Track Cooper Power Systems Expires: March 16, 2013 September 12, 2012 Adapted Multimedia Internet KEYing (AMIKEY): An extension of Multimedia Internet KEYing (MIKEY) Methods for Generic LLN Environments draft-alexander-roll-mikey-lln-key-mgmt-04 Abstract Multimedia Internet Keying (MIKEY) is a key management protocol used for real-time applications. As standardized within RFC3830 it defines four key distribution methods, including pre-shared keys, public-key encryption, and Diffie-Hellman key exchange, with allowances for ready protocol extension. A number of additional methods have been developed and continue to be built from the base protocol (see for example, RFC4442, RFC4563, RFC4650, RFC4738, RFC5410, RFC6043 and RFC6267. However, in spite of its extensibility and more general applicability, MIKEY and its related extensions have primarily focused on the support of the Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP). This document specifies a simple adaptation of the MIKEY specification to allow the base protocol and its various key management mode extensions to be readily applied in more general environments beyond the multimedia SRTP domain. In particular, the document defines a repurposing of the MIKEY multimedia crypto sessions structure and introduces a set of message extensions to the base specification to allow the MIKEY key management methods to be applied within Low-power and Lossy Networks (LLNs) and other general constrained-device networks.

Introduction Any sufficiently large scale network offering security services requires an automated key management mechanism for the exchange of keys and the update of related security credentials [RFC4107]. Key management may be needed for individual session exchanges or for the long-term control and update of security parameters from which session keys may be derived. In many Low-power and Lossy Networks (LLN) and other constrained-device environments, key management emphasis is often on the management of long-term keys. This may automatically follow network associations based on device pre- configuration or may be based on specified key lifetimes or administrative or event-driven need for key credential changes. This would apply to the case of a network routing protocol like RPL ([RFC6550]) that employs security as well as to other secured communications layer protocols. Multimedia Internet Keying (MIKEY) is a key management protocol that has been used for real-time applications both for peer-to-peer and group communications. The capabilities of the protocol lend themselves just as readily to the management of long-term keys as to per-session or per association key control. MIKEY [RFC3830] defines four key distribution methods including pre-shared keys, public-key encryption, and Diffie-Hellman key exchange. Given its design simplicity, efficiency and flexibility a number of additional modes and extensions have indeed been developed and continue to be built from the base protocol (see for example, [RFC4442], [RFC4563], [RFC4650], [RFC4738], [RFC5410], [RFC6043] and [RFC6267]). MIKEY and its related RFC extensions have however primarily focused on the support of the SRTP and related Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) call scenarios [RFC3711]. This document specifies an adaptation of the MIKEY protocol specification to allow the base protocol and its various key management mode extensions to be more generally applied to LLN environments. In particular, the document defines a repurposing of the MIKEY multimedia crypto sessions structure to allow optional support for simultaneous management of multiple protocol or device interface key. The specification also introduces a set of message extensions to the base MIKEY protocol to allow its key management methods to be applied within generic LLN and constrained-device networks. 1.1. Motivation Key distribution describes the process of delivering cryptographic keys to the required communicating parties. The MIKEY protocol has defined the mechanisms for establishing the security context used by Alexander & Tsao Expires March 16, 2013 [Page 5] Internet-Draft MIKEY Extension for LLN September 2012 SRTP however the mechanisms for security parameter negotiation and update is just as readily extended to LLN protocols. The flexibly to employ different key distribution methods according to available network infrastructure and particular operating scenarios together with the compact efficiency of its binary specification makes MIKEY well suited for general LLN use. The wide range of key management support extending from light-weight, low latency half round-trip pre-shared key distribution methods to multi- exchange Diffie-Hellman key agreements protected with digital signatures or pre-shared keys offers great flexibility to meet the needs of diverse LLN application environments. The option to embed the MIKEY key management messages within an existing network signaling protocol or to be directly transported or UDP or TCP (using port 2269) also increases the ability to apply the methods in more general LLN domains. MIKEY has met its original stated design goals [RFC3830] of end-to- end security, simplicity, efficiency, tunneling (even beyond integration with Session Description Protocol (SDP) [RFC4566] or RTCP [RFC3605]), and independence of underlying transport. In so doing it offers an excellent base for a generic key management protocol for LLN application. Key management protocols are also difficult to design and validate (see [RFC4107] guidelines) providing a further motivation for reliance on an established protocol like MIKEY that has had the benefit of wider operational deployment and evaluation. 1.2. MIKEY Key Management Methods Background As noted in [RFC5197], several key distribution methods have been described for MIKEY, including: o Symmetric key distribution as defined in [RFC3830] (MIKEY-PSK) o Asymmetric key distribution as defined in [RFC3830] (MIKEY-RSA) o Diffie-Hellman key agreement protected by digital signatures as defined in [RFC3830] (MIKEY-DHSIGN) o Diffie-Hellman key agreement protected by symmetric pre-shared keys as defined in [RFC4650] (MIKEY-DHHMAC) o Asymmetric key distribution (based on asymmetric encryption) with in-band certificate provision as defined in [RFC4738] (MIKEY-RSA-R) Further extensions to MIKEY comprising algorithm enhancements and new Alexander & Tsao Expires March 16, 2013 [Page 6] Internet-Draft MIKEY Extension for LLN September 2012 payload definitions have since been defined generally motivated by the specific problems associated with SIP signaling and associated multimedia use case scenarios (see [RFC5197]for an earlier assessment). This specification proposes a new extension that is focused on a new domain of application. 1.3. Adapting MIKEY to General LLNs This document specifies a set of additional message information elements to the base MIKEY protocol that provide both algorithm and message payload extensions. These additions allow the adapted protocol to be used directly for key transport and security policy specification between communications generic network entities. Furthermore, through integration within the base MIKEY specification it will allow current and future key methods and extensions to be utilized outside of the current multimedia environment. The developed protocol adaption includes the specification of alternative default algorithms (in particular AES-based as widely available in emerging device hardware) and configurations that are particular to more constrained communications devices. MIKEY's general extensibility is also used to define new elements applicable to the LLN environment. An important element of the protocol extension is the re-use of the MIKEY crypto-session structure to apply to individual device communications protocol layers or interfaces instead of applying to multimedia streams. By maintaining this base protocol structure and re-purposing associated message identifiers, the specification minimizes the protocol changes needed for network adaptation. As with the original specification the intent is to allow MIKEY messages to be embedded into existing communications signaling protocols or to be independently transported between communicating entities over UDP or TCP transport connections. Note: While MIKEY and its extensions provide a variety of choices in terms of modes of operation, implementations for a given LLN application domain will be able to simplify node behavior by operating in a single mode. To ensure necessary interoperability within the LLN environment, mandatory methods within the Adapted MIKEY protocol (AMIKEY), akin to those of MIKEY, shall be specified. 1.4. Terminology and Definitions The following definitions have been taken from [RFC3830] with necessary augmentation for AMIKEY as indicated: Alexander & Tsao Expires March 16, 2013 [Page 7] Internet-Draft MIKEY Extension for LLN September 2012 (Data) Security Protocol The security protocol used to protect the actual data traffic. Examples of security protocols are IPsec and SRTP. For generic LLNs, security protocols may include secure versions of protocols such as RPL [RFC6550]. Data SA Data Security Association information for the security protocol, including a TEK and a set of parameters/policies. CS Crypto Session, uni- or bidirectional data stream(s) protected by a single instance of a security protocol. For AMIKEY the concept of a crypto-session is expanded to allow definition of a particular protocol layer, logical device interface, or other communications association for which key management support is provided. CSB Crypto Session Bundle, collection of one or more Crypto Sessions, which can have common TGKs (see below) and security parameters. CS ID Crypto Session ID, unique identifier for the CS within a CSB. For AMIKEY the CS ID is used to identify a specific protocol layer, logical device interface or other communications association for which AMIKEY is being used to support key management (establishment of re-keying update). CSB ID Crypto Session Bundle ID, unique identifier for the CSB. For AMIKEY the CSB ID in conjunction with the Timestamp filed is used as a unique key management exchange message reference identifier. This identifier will allow for the acknowledged key management message exchanges where applicable. The ID plus timestamp will also support the filtering of repeated or redundant AMIKEY messages when key management occurs over an unreliable transport network. TGK TEK Generation Key, a bit-string agreed upon by two or more parties, associated with CSB. From the TGK, Traffic-Encrypting Keys can then be generated without needing further communication. TEK Traffic-Encrypting Key, the key used by the security protocol to protect the CS (this key may be used directly by the security protocol or may be used to derive further keys depending on the security protocol). The TEKs are derived from the CSB's TGK. Alexander & Tsao Expires March 16, 2013 [Page 8] Internet-Draft MIKEY Extension for LLN September 2012 The following definitions have been added to the ones from [RFC3830] specifically related to supporting AMIKEY: Key Index The Key Index (KI) is used as identifier to allow for reference to the key(s) that are associated with a given CS. Where TEKs may be updated over time a TGK can be associated with a KI that is transported as a payload within the AMIKEY message from the Initiator. Any TEK generated from the AMIKEY TGK shall be assigned the key index value associated with the TGK. Within general LLN protocol communications related to a given CS (device layer protocol or interface), to ensure security association synchronization reference can be made to the key index that is being applied for the given protocol security. Following successfully TGK key establishment communicating devices can verify security contexts through reference to maintained KI (see Section 6.16). Key Source Identifier The Key Source Identifier (KSI) is used as a logical identifier to allow for reference to the entity associated with the origination of a given TGK. Where TEKs are dynamically generated or updated, each TGK can be associated with a specific key source. The KSI, when used, is transported as a payload within the AMIKEY message from the entity responsible for the TGK origination (see Section 6.17). 1.5. Document Outline Section 2 provides a brief general system overview of key management as introduced in MIKEY specification. This section generalizes the context in which the Adapted MIKEY (AMIKEY) protocol extension is applied. It also provides a reference to the common key management operating base of MIKEY and AMIKEY. Sections 3 to 4 go into further detail by identifying the specific section and subsection extensions and enhancements needed to support the MIKEY protocol adaptation. These Sections mirror those of MIKEY [RFC3830] and are used to show the necessary commonality and make reference to specific changes would be required for AMIKEY. Reference is made only to the applicable Sections and Subsections of [RFC3830] for which special changes are proposed. Section 6 includes the specific protocol specification elements that are needed to extend MIKEY for the support of the generic LLN key management requirements. The remaining document sections are place-holders for standard RFC Alexander & Tsao Expires March 16, 2013 [Page 9] Internet-Draft MIKEY Extension for LLN September 2012 draft sections. 1.6. Section Headings Notation This document is written as a delta document to [RFC3830]. For ease of cross-reference and to maintain consistency with the MIKEY specification document structure, Section heading and Table and Figure numbers are maintained consistent with the [RFC3830] usage. The notation of Section number followed by [RFC3830] "x.x. [RFC3830]" is used is this document for Sections specifically meant to align with [RFC3830]. Section numbers followed by [RFC3830] with additional heading text indicates some new element or clarification introduced by this specification. Section numbers followed by [RFC3830] without further heading text implies no change to [RFC3830] and is used only to align and maintain the current document headings structure. The new parameters introduced in this specification are made consistent with the MIKEY recommendations (see Section 4.2.9 [RFC3830]). 2. AMIKEY Overview This section provides an overview of AMIKEY. Material from MIKEY [RFC3830] is also repeated to clearly establish the common context in which MIKEY can be applied to LLN environments with the simple extension to the Adapted MIKEY (AMIKEY) specification. The objective of the AMIKEY extension is exactly the same as that of MIKEY - "to produce a data security association (SA) for a security protocol, including a Traffic-Encrypting Key (TEK), which is derived from a TEK Generation Key (TGK), and used as input for the security protocol." In the case of AMIKEY the objective is support generic security protocols and particularly those that may be associated with LLNs. AMIKEY uses the specified MIKEY mechanisms and features to "support the possibility of establishing keys and parameters for more than one security protocol (or for several instances of the same security protocol) at the same time." In MIKEY the Crypto Session Bundle (CSB), which derives from the multimedia (multi-stream) context, is used to denote this collection of one or more Crypto Sessions that can have a common TGK and security parameters, but that obtain distinct TEKs from MIKEY. In the AMIKEY extension, the concept of CSB is used to provide the Alexander & Tsao Expires March 16, 2013 [Page 10] Internet-Draft MIKEY Extension for LLN September 2012 option of simultaneously establishing multiple SAs on a given device. The individual Crypto Session (CS) SAs may be associated with different device layer or device interface security protocols. AMIKEY further uses the flexibility of the MIKEY specification to allow separate security policies to be defined in the SA established for each security protocol. The distribution mechanisms defined by MIKEY for re-keying and updating of established security associations is hence also directly applied. The ability to establish and maintain multiple SAs through a single key management association provides an important efficiency element in LLN domains. As specified in [RFC3830], Section 2.3, the procedure of setting up a CSB and creating a TEK (and Data SA), is done in accordance with Figure 1: 1. A set of security parameters and TGK(s) are agreed upon for the Crypto Session Bundle. This is done by one of many alternative key transport/exchange mechanisms (see [RFC3830], Section 3, as well as subsequent extension RFCs). 2. The TGK(s) is used to derive (in a cryptographically secure way) a TEK for each Crypto Session or associated security protocol. 3. The TEK, together with the security protocol parameters, represent the Data SA, which is used as the input to the security protocol(s).

An additional MIKEY message extension is also specified to define the security protocol parameters (policies) for generic LLNs. Whereas MIKEY CS IDs are associated with multimedia streams and have no intrinsic designation, in this specification the CS IDs are assigned values (public or private/vendor-specific) that are used to identify security protocols associated with specific device protocol layers or device interfaces. As considered for the device security model discussed in [I-D.ietf-roll-security-framework], Section 6.5, Figure 2 provides an overview of the key management context introduced by the AMIKEY extension defined in this specification. The multi-protocol key management capability (through the particular use of the MIKEY CS- IDs) allows for the efficient, simultaneous management and update of one or more protocol layer security parameters.

It is however up to the targeted security protocol and the associated security policy to define how the TEK is used. MIKEY can be used to update TEKs and the Crypto Sessions in a current Crypto Session Bundle (see [RFC3830], Section 4.5). This is done by executing the transport/exchange phase once again to obtain a new TGK (and consequently derive new TEKs) or to update some other specific CS parameters. Alexander & Tsao Expires March 16, 2013 [Page 13] Internet-Draft MIKEY Extension for LLN September 2012 3. AMIKEY Key Management Signaling The following subsections detail the proposed additions to the MIKEY specification [RFC3830] to support the AMIKEY extension. The MIKEY defined key management modes consist of a single (or half) round trip signaling exchange between network peers. In conjunction with the peer-to-peer modes, AMIKEY incorporates support for client- server infrastructures while retaining the maximum single round trip key signaling exchange. For AMIKEY, a client device may request a key assignment or update by sending a request message (Q_MESSAGE) to a key management server (KMS). The request message is protected by a pre-shared secret or a public key. The server initiates the key assignment and completes the exchange by sending a key Initiator message (I_MESSAGE) correspondingly protected by a pre-shared secret or a public key. Mutual authentication and key assignment confirmation is achieved at the requesting device upon receipt of the Initiator message. This signaling mode is shown in Figure 3. Key Assignment Key Initiator ReQuestor +-----+ +------+ | I | | Q | +-----+ +------+ Q_MESSAGE <----------------------------------------- I_MESSAGE -----------------------------------------> Figure 3: (Client) requested key assignment A KMS may also autonomously initiate a key assignment or update by sending a key Initiator message (I_MESSAGE) to a client, protected by a pre-shared secret or a public key. As dictated by the KMS, a key response message (R_MESSAGE) is returned by the key client (Responder) where mutual authentication and assignment confirmation is required. This key management signaling mode is shown in Figure 4. Alexander & Tsao Expires March 16, 2013 [Page 14] Internet-Draft MIKEY Extension for LLN September 2012 Key Assignment Key Initiator Responder +-----+ +------+ | I | | R | +-----+ +------+ I_MESSAGE -----------------------------------------> [Optional] R_MESSAGE <----------------------------------------- Figure 4: (Server) initiated key assignment As shown, the AMIKEY message flows will typically consist of a request followed by a response in the form on a Requestor-Initiator or Initiator-Responder exchange. It is the responsibility of the Requestor or the Initiator, respectively to ensure reliability of the key assignment signaling exchange. If a response is not received within a timeout interval the Requestor/Initiator needs to retransmit the request or abandon the connection. The timeout interval and the number of retries before a connection is abandoned shall be implementation defined according to the particular network application. 3.1. Pre-shared key The AMIKEY signaling flow and message information content for the Pre-shared key (PSK) method is as shown in Figure 5 below, in which "[]" indicates optional messages or elements: Alexander & Tsao Expires March 16, 2013 [Page 15] Internet-Draft MIKEY Extension for LLN September 2012 Requestor Q_MESSAGE = [<---] HDR, T, [IDq], V Initiator Responder I_MESSAGE = HDR, T, RAND, [IDi],[IDr], {SP}, KEMAC ---> R_MESSAGE = [<---] HDR, T, [IDr], V Figure 5: Signaling exchange and message content for the PSK method The format of the AMIKEY pre-shared key Requestor message (Q_MESSAGE) will follow that of the standard MIKEY Initiator and Responder messages (I_MESSAGE and R_MESSAGE, respectively). Beyond the header (HDR) and Timestamp (T) information elements, the message will include the Identity of the Requestor IDq and the message verification, V. The entire message SHALL be authenticated by V and sent in cleartext. The Requestor IDq MAY be left out only when it can be expected that the peer already knows the other party's ID (otherwise it cannot look up the pre-shared key). For example, this could be the case if the ID can be extracted from the signaling protocol in which the key management message is embedded. The Initiator's message securely transports one or more TGKs (carried in the KEMAC) and a set of security parameters (SPs) to the Responder using the pre-shared key to protect the message and its sub-payloads. The Responder message MAY be sent in response to a key assignment initiated by the Initiator I_MESSAGE. Since the verification message V from the Responder is optional, the Initiator indicates in the HDR whether it requires a verification message or not from the Responder. The verification message, V, is a MAC computed over the Responder's entire message, the timestamp (the same as the one that was included in the Initiator's message), and the two parties identities, using the authentication key. See [RFC3830] Section 5.2 for the exact definition of the Verification MAC calculation and [RFC3830] Section 6.9 for payload definition. The Initiator message SHALL indicate that the Responder message is not required when a Requestor message has been used to initiate the key exchange. In that case mutual authentication will be provided through the Initiator message sent in response to the triggering Alexander & Tsao Expires March 16, 2013 [Page 16] Internet-Draft MIKEY Extension for LLN September 2012 Requestor message. Where the key assignment is triggered by the AMIKEY Requestor message, the timestamp, T, of the Initiator message shall be the same as the one that was included in the Requestor's message. The CS ID map info of the Requestor message HDR will specify the requested protocol key(s) to be assigned (see Section 6.1). For AMIKEY the pre-shared key method is mandatory to implement. 3.2. Public-Key Encryption For the public-key encryption method, the signaling exchange and message content is similar to that of the PSK case as shown in Figure 6 below: Requestor Q_MESSAGE = [<---] HDR, T, [IDq|CERTq], SIGNq Initiator Responder I_MESSAGE = HDR, T, RAND, [IDi|CERTi], [IDr], (SP), KEMAC, [CHASH], PKE, SIGNi ---> R_MESSAGE = [<---] HDR, T, [IDr], V Figure 6: Signaling exchange and message content for the PK method The AMIKEY public key Requestor message follows the standard MIKEY format. Beyond the header (HDR) and Timestamp (T) information elements, the message may include the Identity or Certificate of the Requestor [IDq|CERTq] and a message Signature, SIGNq. The SIGNq is a signature covering the entire Requestor's AMIKEY message, Q_MESSAGE, using the Requestor's (private) signature key (see Section 5.2 [RFC3830] for the exact definition of the Signature calculation). The message SHALL be sent in cleartext, authenticated by the signature. The Requestor IDq and certificate SHOULD be included, but the CERTq MAY be left out when it can be expected that the peer can obtain the Alexander & Tsao Expires March 16, 2013 [Page 17] Internet-Draft MIKEY Extension for LLN September 2012 certificate in some other manner from the Requestor ID. The ID may be left out when it can be expected that the peer already knows the other party's ID. The Initiator's message securely transports one or more TGKs and a set of security parameters to the Responder. This is done using an envelope approach where the TGKs are encrypted (and integrity protected) with keys derived from a randomly/pseudo-randomly chosen "envelope key". The envelope key is sent to the Responder encrypted with the public key of the Responder. Where the key assignment is triggered by the Requestor message, the timestamp, T, of the Initiator message shall be the same as the one that was included in the Requestor's message. As for the PSK method, the CS ID map info of the Requestor message HDR will specify the requested protocol key(s) to be assigned (see Section 6.1). The Responder message MAY be sent in response to a key assignment initiated by the Initiator I_MESSAGE. The indication of the requirement to send the Responder verification message V as well as its calculation shall be the same as in the pre-shared key mode. The timestamp in a Responder message will be the same as the one that was included in the Initiator message. The Initiator message SHALL indicate that the Responder message is not required when a Requestor message has been used to initiate the key exchange. For AMIKEY the public key method is mandatory to implement. 3.3. [RFC3830] Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange For the Diffie-Hellman key exchange method, the peer-to-peer association in which both devices contribute equally to the key generation will be the same as given in [RFC3830] even with a key client-server network infrastructure. For AMIKEY this method is optional to implement. 3.4. Example of AMIKEY Applied to RPL The following sub-sections provide examples of how AMIKEY can be used to support key management for the RPL routing protocol [RFC6550]. 3.4.1. AMIKEY Key Assignment for RPL Join Process The process of a node joining a secured RPL instance is described in Section 10.2 of the RPL specification [RFC6550]. Where the DODAG Alexander & Tsao Expires March 16, 2013 [Page 18] Internet-Draft MIKEY Extension for LLN September 2012 operates in "authenticated mode", as indicated by the "A" bit being set in the DODAG Configuration option of the DIO messages, a joining node is required to access a key server to obtain the current key for securing RPL messages. AMIKEY is intended to support the requirements of the key management protocol that allows RPL nodes to be able to obtain (and receive) the dynamic DODAG security key (see Section 3.2.3 of [RFC6550]). For AMIKEY, the security of the key management protocol exchanges between the nodes and the key server may be based on a pre-shared key (PSK), public key (PKE) or Diffie- Hellman (DH) method as described in Section 3. Figure 7 illustrates how AMIKEY may be employed to obtain the DODAG security key. The figure depicts how the joining node uses AMIKEY to request the DODAG key when a pre-shared key is used for securing the key management exchange with the key server. Joining Node RPL Router Key Server | | | | 1. Secure DIS (KI=0) | | |----------------------------->| | | | | | 2. Secure DIO (KI=0,"A"bit set) | |<-----------------------------| | | | | | | | 3. AMIKEY: Q_MESSAGE (HDR, T, IDq, V) | |========================================================>| | 4. AMIKEY: I_MESSAGE (HDR, T, RAND, IDi, {SP}, KEMAC) | |<========================================================| | | | | 5. Secure DIS (KI=n) | |----------------------------->| | | | 6. Secure DIO (KI=n) | |<-----------------------------| | | Figure 7: Key Assignment with AMIKEY in the RPL Join Process 1. A joining node broadcasts a RPL Secure DIS message to request DIO information for joining the DODAG. The DIS message is secured using the pre-installed key (see [RFC6550], Section 3.2.3). The secure DIS message security header includes the Key Index, KI=0, Alexander & Tsao Expires March 16, 2013 [Page 19] Internet-Draft MIKEY Extension for LLN September 2012 that references the pre-installed key used to secure the message. 2. An existing DODAG RPL node responds with a secure DIO message that is similarly secured with the pre-installed key, even where that key differs from the DODAG RPL security key being used by nodes that have joined the DODAG (see [RFC6550], Section 10.2). This initial DIS/DIO exchange allows the joining node to operate as a leaf node and forward data traffic into the network without being part of the secure routing exchange. 3. Based on the A-bit being set within the Secure DIO message, the joining node uses its leaf node network access to initiate the key request to the key server to request the current DODAG security key; the joining node does this by sending an AMIKEY key request (Q_MESSAGE) to the key server (see Section 3). In the example in Figure 7 the Q_MESSAGE is secured based on the pre- shared key maintained between the joining node and the key server. The verification field (V) authenticates the message sent by the requesting node (see Section 4.2.4). 4. The key server responds to the request by assigning the current DODAG key within the I_MESSAGE (see Section 3.1). Like the Q_MESSAGE, the I_MESSAGE is secured based on the pre-shared key maintained between the joining node and the key server. The T field included in the I_MESSAGE is the same as that sent by the key requesting node in the Q_MESSAGE. This field in the form of a timestamp or counter allows for replay protection (and timeliness verification if network-wide time is supported in the DODAG). The KEMAC information element includes the DODAG key material assigned by the key server encrypted using the pre- shared key maintained between the joining node and the key server. 5. The assigned DODAG key (given by Key Index=n in the message security header) is used to secure the subsequent secure DIS message. 6. Once the secure DIS message is authenticated by the receiver a secure DIO message (with KI=n) is returned. That message provides current DODAG routing information and allows the joining node to be a full RPL participant of the secure DODAG. The particular information elements of the AMIKEY Q_MESSAGE include: Alexander & Tsao Expires March 16, 2013 [Page 20] Internet-Draft MIKEY Extension for LLN September 2012 HDR Header (common AMIKEY header) T Timestamp/counter IDq ID of the requestor (joining node) V Message verification The particular information elements of the AMIKEY I_MESSAGE include: HDR Header T Timestamp/counter RAND A (pseudo-)random bit-string used for generating the DODAG security key (using AMIKEY, the RPL DODAG key is generated from the key assigned by the key server) IDi ID of the assignment initiator (key server) SP Security Policy that defines the policy information of the secure RPL protocol for which the key assignment is being made KEMAC Key data transport payload that includes the assigned key generating key from which the RPL DODAG security key is derived Note: In conjunction with RPL, AMIKEY can also be applied to support proactive key assignment/update by the key server using an I_MESSAGE and R_MESSAGE exchange as discussed in Section 3. 3.4.2. AMIKEY Key Update for RPL Authenticated Mode The RPL security key for a DODAG operating in authenticated mode may be updated one or more times during the lifetime of the DODAG. Such key updates are initiated by the key server and pushed to individual RPL nodes using the AMIKEY protocol. Figure 8 illustrates how AMIKEY is employed for the key update. The scenario assumes a pre-shared key (PSK) for securing the key management exchange between the RPL nodes and the key server. Public key encryption (PKE) or Diffie-Hellman (DH) methods may also be used as described in Section 3. Alexander & Tsao Expires March 16, 2013 [Page 21] Internet-Draft MIKEY Extension for LLN September 2012 RPL Node i RPL Node j Key Server | | | | 1.

Secure DAO ACK | | (KI=n+1) | |------------------------->| | | Figure 8: Key Update during RPL Operation Using AMIKEY 1. An operating RPL node (Node i) transmits a Secure DIO message providing information on its DODAG routing connectivity. The DIO message is secured using the current DODAG security key indicated by the inclusion of the Key Index, KI=n, within the message Alexander & Tsao Expires March 16, 2013 [Page 22] Internet-Draft MIKEY Extension for LLN September 2012 security header. 2. In response to the DIO message the RPL routing peer (Node j) sends a Secure DAO message to establish/maintain its routing connectivity. The DAO message is secured with the current DODAG security key indicated by the inclusion of KI=n within the message security header. 3. The RPL node receiving the DAO message may acknowledge receipt of the message by sending a Secure DAO ACK message, also secured by the current DODAG key. 4. The key server can choose at any time to update the current DODAG key by making a new key assignment to each network node. The new key is encrypted within the KEMAC information element of the I_MESSAGE (see Section 3.1). In this example the I_MESSAGE is secured based on the pre-shared key maintained between each node and the key server. The T field included in the I_MESSAGE, in the form of a timestamp or counter allows for replay protection (and timeliness verification if network-wide time is supported). 5. The key assignment is acknowledged by the receiving node through the sending of the R_MESSAGE (see Section 3). The requirement for the sending of the R_MESSAGE is specified through the setting of the V-bit flag in the I_MESSAGE Header (HDR). For replay protection and timeliness verification on the part of the key server, the T field included in the R_MESSAGE, is copied and repeated from the I_MESSAGE. The verification field (V) authenticates the message sent by the responding node using the node-key server pre-shared secret. 6. The updated DODAG key, indicated by the Key Index=n+1 in the message security header, is used to secure the subsequent transmitted Secure DIO messages. 7. Following the key update the Secure DAO messages also use the newly assigned key (indicated by KI=n+1 in the message security header). 8. Any Secure DAO ACK messages are similarly protected using the newly assigned key. The particular information elements of the AMIKEY I_MESSAGE include: Alexander & Tsao Expires March 16, 2013 [Page 23] Internet-Draft MIKEY Extension for LLN September 2012 HDR Header (common AMIKEY header) T Timestamp/counter RAND A (pseudo-)random bit-string used for generating the DODAG security key (using AMIKEY, the RPL DODAG key is generated from the key assigned by the key server). IDi ID of the assignment initiator (key server) SP Security Policy that defines the policy information of the secure RPL protocol for which the key assignment is being made KEMAC Key data transport payload that includes the assigned key generating key from which the RPL DODAG security key is derived The particular information elements of the AMIKEY R_MESSAGE include: HDR Header T Timestamp/counter IDr ID of the responder (RPL node) V Message verification Note: In an ad hoc network there is the potential for nodes that have received a DODAG key update to initiate routing exchanges with nodes that have not yet received the update. This situation will be detected by the mis-match between the node's maintained DODAG key index and that of its corresponding peer. Where a received RPL message is secured by a key different from that maintained by the recipient node it will not be possible to verify the authenticity or validity of the message. To avoid potential denial of service attacks from forged or purported Secure RPL messages, a RPL node should silently discard such messages if it has not received an updated key. One consequence is the potential for broken RPL associations when the key update is not sufficiently synchronized across the DODAG. A key activation time can be used to limit the potential for such routing disruptions during the key update. The Key Activation time in the form of a UTC clock time or future count can be specified through the AMIKEY Key Validity information element (see [RFC3830] Key data sub-payload, Section 6.13). A node recovering from reset and receiving Secure DIO messages with a Key Index different from the one currently maintained can revert its status to a non-routing (leaf) node. The node can then initiate an AMIKEY key request to the key server to obtain the current DODAG key. Alexander & Tsao Expires March 16, 2013 [Page 24] Internet-Draft MIKEY Extension for LLN September 2012 4. [RFC3830] Selected Key Management Functions For AMIKEY all the key derivation functionality defined in MIKEY shall be based on a new default Pseudo-Random Function (PRF) given by the AES-based, AES-CMAC algorithm as specified in [RFC4493]. 4.1. [RFC3830] Key Calculation 4.1.1. [RFC3830] Assumptions For AMIKEY cs_id is defined so that session represents a protocol layer, logical device interface, or communications association. The cs-id values shall be as defined in this specification (see Section 6.1.2) and may be public or private/vendor-specific. 4.1.2. Default PRF Description For AMIKEY the default pseudo random function shall be AES-CMAC [RFC4493]. Note: AES-CMAC aligns with HMAC-SHA1 and HMAC-MD5 as PRFs. 4.1.3. [RFC3830] Generating Keys from TGK For AMIKEY the cs-id values shall be as defined in this specification (see Section 6.1.2). 4.1.4. [RFC3830] Generating Keys for MIKEY Messages from an Envelope/ Pre-shared Key Change from default PRF to the default AMIKEY PRF given in Section 4.1.2 of this specification. Note: For AMIKEY, the Authentication key constant SHALL be used for generating the single TEK in the case of authenticated encryption algorithms (such as AES-CCM). 4.2. [RFC3830] Pre-defined Transforms and Timestamp Formats 4.2.1. Hash Functions For AMIKEY the default hash function shall be AES-CMAC [RFC4493]. 4.2.2. Pseudo-Random Number Generator For AMIKEY it shall be MANDATORY to implement the new default AES- CMAC PRF specified in [RFC4493] (See Section 4.1.2 of this specification). Alexander & Tsao Expires March 16, 2013 [Page 25] Internet-Draft MIKEY Extension for LLN September 2012 4.2.3. [RFC3830] Key Data Transport Encryption As in MIKEY the default and mandatory-to-implement key transport encryption shall be AES in Counter mode using a 128-bit key (derived as defined in Section 4.1.4 above). The applied Counter shall be the IV defined in [RFC3830], Section 4.2.3. 4.2.4. [RFC3830] MAC Verification Message Function For AMIKEY AES-CCM-64 shall be the defined default for key message authentication. The Counter used shall be the IV defined in [RFC3830], Section 4.2.3. 4.3. [RFC3830] Certificates, Policies and Authorization 4.4. [RFC3830] Retrieving the Data SA For AMIKEY the retrieval of a Data SA will depend on the security protocol. The support for different security protocols shall be explicitly identified through the use of public CS ID values (see Section 6.1.2 of this specification). 5. [RFC3830] Behavior and Message Handling 5.1. [RFC3830] General 5.2. [RFC3830] Creating a message For AMIKEY where the key exchange is triggered by a Requestor, the messages from the Requestor MUST use a unique timestamp. The Initiator does not create a new timestamp but uses the timestamp used by the Requestor. When the key exchange is not triggered by a Requestor, the messages from the Initiator MUST use a unique timestamp. The Responder does not create a new timestamp, but uses the timestamp used by the Initiator. 6. [RFC3830] Payload Encoding The generic LLN security protocol parameters may be transported between peers as part of a key establishment or re-keying exchange. Based on IANA registration, MIKEY currently only defines two payloads for transporting the security policy information (see Section 6.10 of [RFC3830] and [RFC4442]). This section describes the extension of MIKEY to allow the transport of Generic LLN security policy Alexander & Tsao Expires March 16, 2013 [Page 26] Internet-Draft MIKEY Extension for LLN September 2012 information and associated key(s) as well as applicable PRF used for key derivation. This section describes, in detail, the payload for support of the Generic LLN security protocol(s) specified by the Adapted MIKEY protocol. As in RFC3830, for all encoding, network byte order is always used, and the sign ~ indicates a variable length field. 6.1.

To directly reference the MAC Address of the exchanged packets, where the IPv6 address has been derived from the device MAC address in conformance with [RFC4291] the ID len value will be set to zero and no ID data included in the value field (see Alexander & Tsao Expires March 16, 2013 [Page 32] Internet-Draft MIKEY Extension for LLN September 2012 [RFC3830]). Note: The ID payload may be used by a supported security protocol as implicit Key Source Identifier (see Section 6.17) for referencing key origination. 6.8. [RFC3830] Cert Hash Payload (CHASH) 6.9. [RFC3830] Ver msg payload (V) 6.10. Security Policy (SP) Payload The Security Policy payload defines a set of policies that apply to a specific security protocol. For AMIKEY the definition is based on the same security policy payload definition in [RFC3830], Section 6.10, with a new security protocol (Generic-LLN) as defined below. 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ !

See Section 6.1 of [RFC3830] for more details. o Policy no (8 bits): Each security policy payload must be given a distinct number for the current MIKEY session by the local peer. This number is used to map a cryptographic session to a specific policy (see also Section 6.1.1 of [RFC3830]). o Prot type (8 bits): This value defines the security protocol; For AMIKEY an additional value shall be assigned as given below.

The Policy param part is built up by a set of Type/Length/Value (TLV) payloads. For each security protocol, a set of possible type/value pairs can be negotiated as defined. 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ !

[RFC3830] SRTP Policy 6.10.2. AMIKEY Generic_LLN Policy This policy specifies the parameters for the Generic_LLN (G_LLN) protocol for which key management is being provided. The types/ values that can be negotiated are defined by the following table for the known, assigned CS ID values. For Vendor-specific, private CS ID values the applicable policy specification for a given crypto session will be left to the communicating parties.

[RFC3830] RAND Payload (RAND) 6.12. [RFC3830] Error Payload (ERR) 6.13. [RFC3830] Key Data Sub-Payload For AMIKEY, the key validity (KV) period for a TGK/TEK shall be specified using the KV Interval type indicating a potential key start and expiration time (see Section 6.14). 6.14. [RFC3830] Key Validity Data For AMIKEY the Key Validity Data element shall be used to specify the activation time and validity period of an assigned TGK. For AMIKEY, the key validity (KV) period for a TGK/TEK shall be specified using the KV Interval type (see [RFC3830] Section 6.13). The corresponding Valid From (VF) and Valid To (VT) information elements that define the applicable key lifetime may be specified using the Timestamp Counter type to specify time in seconds from the time given by included key message timestamp (T). A VF Length of zero (indicating Counter value of 0) specifies an immediate key activation time. A VT Counter value of all 1s indicates infinite key validity or no expiration time. 6.15. [RFC3830] General Extension Payload 6.16. Key Index Payload For AMIKEY the Key Index (KI) payload is used to specify the value of the key index associated with a given TGK. Alexander & Tsao Expires March 16, 2013 [Page 36] Internet-Draft MIKEY Extension for LLN September 2012 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ !

See Section 6.1 [RFC3830] for values. o KI len (8 bits): indicates the length of the key source identifier field. o KI value (variable length): indicates the value of the key index to be assigned to any CS TEK generated from the transported TGK. 6.17. Key Source Identifier Payload For AMIKEY, where an explicit reference is required, the Key Source Identifier payload is used to provide a logical reference to the entity associated with the origination of a given TGK. The specification of the Key Source Identifier (KSI) shall be given by the supported security protocol (for example, the secured RPL routing protocol [RFC6550] specifies the use of an 8-byte KSI). 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ !

See Section 6.1 [RFC3830] for values. o KSI len (8 bits): indicates the length of the key source identifier field. o KSI value (variable length): specifies the logical identifier assigned to the Source or Originator of a given TGK. Alexander & Tsao Expires March 16, 2013 [Page 37] Internet-Draft MIKEY Extension for LLN September 2012 7. [RFC3830] Transport Protocols As in [RFC3830], AMIKEY may be integrated within session establishment or other system signaling protocols or may be directly transported over UDP or TCP. Where AMIKEY messages are integrated into other LLN-related signaling protocols its transport shall be defined as part of those protocols. 8. Security Considerations A primary motivation for this RFC is the security that comes from a re-use of the key management methods and framework developed for MIKEY. The extensive deployment and on-going development provides the benefit of much wider vetting and validation essential to assuring greater security. 9. [RFC3830] Groups 10. Additional Specification Considerations Work had been previously initiated in developing support for an ECC- based asymmetric key management method ([I-D.ietf-msec-mikey-ecc], expired). In the context of LLNs application and subject to IPR considerations, related AMIKEY requirements may be developed. 11. IANA Considerations This document defines several new name spaces associated with the AMIKEY payloads. This section summarizes the name spaces for which IANA is requested to manage the allocation of values. IANA is requested to record the pre-defined values defined in the given sections for each name space. IANA is also requested to manage the definition of additional values in the future. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, values in the range 0-240 for each name space SHOULD be approved by the process of IETF consensus and values in the range 241-255 are reserved for Private Use, according to [RFC5226]. The name spaces for the new fields identified in this document are requested to be managed by IANA (in bracket is the reference to the table with the initially registered values): o Common Header payload (6.1.)
