1 Computer Science CSC 474Dr. Peng Ning1 CSC 474 Information Systems Security Topic 4.2: IPsec

2 Computer Science CSC 474Dr. Peng Ning2 Outline IPsec Objectives IPsec architecture & concepts IPsec authentication header IPsec encapsulating security payload

3 Computer Science CSC 474Dr. Peng Ning3 IPsec Objectives Why do we need IPsec? –IP V4 has no authentication IP spoofing Payload could be changed without detection. –IP V4 has no confidentiality mechanism Eavesdropping –Denial of service (DOS) attacks Cannot hold the attacker accountable due to the lack of authentication.

4 Computer Science CSC 474Dr. Peng Ning4 IPsec Objectives (contd) IP layer security mechanism for IPv4 and IPv6 –Not all applications need to be security aware –Can be transparent to users –Provide authentication and confidentiality mechanisms.

5 Computer Science CSC 474Dr. Peng Ning5 IPsec Architecture IPsec module 1IPsec module 2 SPD IKE SAD IPsec SPD IKE SAD IPsec SA SPD: Security Policy Database; IKE: Internet Key Exchange; SA: Security Association; SAD: Security Association Database.

6 Computer Science CSC 474Dr. Peng Ning6 IPsec Architecture (Contd) Two Protocols (Mechanisms) –Authentication Header (AH) –Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) IKE Protocol –Internet Key Management

7 Computer Science CSC 474Dr. Peng Ning7 IPsec Architecture (Contd) Can be implemented in –Host or gateway Can work in two Modes –Tunnel mode –Transport mode

8 Computer Science CSC 474Dr. Peng Ning8 Hosts & Gateways Hosts can implement IPsec to connect to: –Other hosts in transport or tunnel mode –Or Gateways in tunnel mode Gateways to gateways –Tunnel mode

9 Computer Science CSC 474Dr. Peng Ning9 AB Encrypted Tunnel Gateway New IP Header AH or ESP Header TCPDataOrig IP Header Encrypted Unencrypted Tunnel Mode

10 Computer Science CSC 474Dr. Peng Ning10 Outer IP header Inner IP header IPsec header Higher layer protocol ESP AH Real IP destination Destination IPsec entity Tunnel Mode (Contd) ESP applies only to the tunneled packet AH can be applied to portions of the outer header

11 Computer Science CSC 474Dr. Peng Ning11 AB New IP Header AH or ESP Header TCPData Encrypted/Authenticated Transport Mode

12 Computer Science CSC 474Dr. Peng Ning12 IP header IP options IPsec header Higher layer protocol ESP AH Real IP destination Transport Mode (Contd) ESP protects higher layer payload only AH can protect IP headers as well as higher layer payload

13 Computer Science CSC 474Dr. Peng Ning13 Security Association (SA) An association between a sender and a receiver –Consists of a set of security related parameters –E.g., sequence number, encryption key One way relationship Determine IPsec processing for senders Determine IPsec decoding for destination SAs are not fixed! Generated and customized per traffic flows

14 Computer Science CSC 474Dr. Peng Ning14 Security Parameters Index (SPI) A bit string assigned to an SA. Carried in AH and ESP headers to enable the receiving system to select the SA under which the packet will be processed. 32 bits SPI + Dest IP address + IPsec Protocol –Uniquely identifies each SA in SA Database (SAD)

15 Computer Science CSC 474Dr. Peng Ning15 SA Database (SAD) Holds parameters for each SA –Sequence number counter –Lifetime of this SA –AH and ESP information –Tunnel or transport mode Every host or gateway participating in IPsec has their own SA database

16 Computer Science CSC 474Dr. Peng Ning16 SA Bundle More than 1 SA can apply to a packet Example: ESP does not authenticate new IP header. How to authenticate? –Use SA to apply ESP w/out authentication to original packet –Use 2 nd SA to apply AH

17 Computer Science CSC 474Dr. Peng Ning17 Security Policy Database (SPD) Decide –What traffic to protect? –Has incoming traffic been properly secured? Policy entries define which SA or SA Bundles to use on IP traffic Each host or gateway has their own SPD Index into SPD by Selector fields –Selectors: IP and upper-layer protocol field values. –Examples: Dest IP, Source IP, Transport Protocol, IPSec Protocol, Source & Dest Ports, …

18 Computer Science CSC 474Dr. Peng Ning18 SPD Entry Actions Discard –Do not let in or out Bypass –Outbound: do not apply IPSec –Inbound: do not expect IPSec Protect – will point to an SA or SA bundle –Outbound: apply security –Inbound: security must have been applied

19 Computer Science CSC 474Dr. Peng Ning19 SPD Protect Action If the SA does not exist… –Outbound processing Trigger key management protocols to generate SA dynamically, or Request manual specification, or Other methods –Inbound processing Drop packet

20 Computer Science CSC 474Dr. Peng Ning20 Is it for IPsec? If so, which policy entry to select? … SPD (Policy) … SA Database IP Packet Outbound packet (on A) AB SPI & IPsec Packet Send to B Determine the SA and its SPI IPSec processing Outbound Processing

21 Computer Science CSC 474Dr. Peng Ning21 Use SPI to index the SAD … SA Database Original IP Packet SPI & Packet Inbound packet (on B) AB From A Inbound Processing … SPD (Policy) Was packet properly secured? un-process

22 Computer Science CSC 474Dr. Peng Ning22 Authentication Header (AH) Data integrity –Entire packet has not been tampered with Authentication –Can trust IP address source –Use MAC to authenticate Anti-replay feature Integrity check value

23 Computer Science CSC 474Dr. Peng Ning23 Integrity Check Value - ICV Message authentication code (MAC) calculated over –IP header fields that do not change or are predictable –IP header fields that are unpredictable are set to zero. –IPsec AH header with the ICV field set to zero. –Upper-level data Code may be truncated to first 96 bits

24 Computer Science CSC 474Dr. Peng Ning24 … SAD SPI Sequence Number ICV Next Header (TCP/UDP) Payload Length 6-2=4 Reserved IPsec Authentication Header

25 Computer Science CSC 474Dr. Peng Ning25 Encapsulated Security Protocol (ESP) Confidentiality for upper layer protocol Partial traffic flow confidentiality (Tunnel mode only) Data origin authentication and connectionless integrity (optional)

26 Computer Science CSC 474Dr. Peng Ning26 Outbound Packet Processing Form ESP payload Pad as necessary Encrypt result [payload, padding, pad length, next header] Apply authentication

27 Computer Science CSC 474Dr. Peng Ning27 Outbound Packet Processing... Sequence number generation –Increment then use –With anti-replay enabled, check for rollover and send only if no rollover –With anti-replay disabled, still needs to increment and use but no rollover checking ICV calculation –ICV includes whole ESP packet except for authentication data field. –Implicit padding of 0s between next header and authentication data is used to satisfy block size requirement for ICV algorithm –Not include the IP header.

28 Computer Science CSC 474Dr. Peng Ning28 SPI Sequence Number Original IP Header Integrity Check Value Authentication coverage Encrypted Payload (TCP Header and Data) Variable Length Pad Length Padding (0-255 bytes) Next Header ESP Transport Example

29 Computer Science CSC 474Dr. Peng Ning29 0 Sliding Window size >= 32 reject Check bitmap, verify if new verify Inbound Packet Processing Sequence number checking –Anti-replay is used only if authentication is selected –Sequence number should be the first ESP check on a packet upon looking up an SA –Duplicates are rejected!

30 Computer Science CSC 474Dr. Peng Ning30 Anti-replay Feature Optional Information to enforce held in SA entry Sequence number counter - 32 bit for outgoing IPsec packets Anti-replay window –32-bit –Bit-map for detecting replayed packets

31 Computer Science CSC 474Dr. Peng Ning31 Anti-replay Sliding Window Window should not be advanced until the packet has been authenticated Without authentication, malicious packets with large sequence numbers can advance window unnecessarily –Valid packets would be dropped!

32 Computer Science CSC 474Dr. Peng Ning32 Inbound Packet Processing... Packet decryption –Decrypt quantity [ESP payload,padding,pad length,next header] per SA specification –Processing (stripping) padding per encryption algorithm; In case of default padding scheme, the padding field SHOULD be inspected –Reconstruct the original IP datagram Authentication verification (option)
