5. Process uChoose your project partner You can work alone, or with another person uChose a subject for your project Can be something already familiar Project presentation #1 at this point! uFormulate an “abstraction” of system Separate relevant and irrelevant details Identify security properties of interest uChoose a tool and method uComplete your study. Success! Clear explanation of security goals Possible bugs or insecure configurations Identify proper, improper use

6. Key Management uOut of band Can set up some keys this way (Kerberos) uPublic-key infrastructure (PKI) Leverage small # of public signing keys uProtocols for session keys Generate short-lived session key Avoid extended use of important secret Don’t use same key for encryption and signing Forward secrecy Cryptography reduces many problems to key management

7. Public-Key Infrastructure Certificate Authority ClientServer Known public signature verification key Ka Sign(Ka, Ks), Sign(Ks, msg) Certificate Sign(Ka, Ks) Ks Server certificate can be verified by any client that has CA key Ka Certificate authority is “off line”

8. Key Distribution: Kerberos Idea Client KeyCenter Server Shared symmetric key Kc Shared symmetric key Ks {Kcs, {Kcs} Ks } Kc {Kcs} Ks { msg } Kcs Key Center generates session key Kcs and distributes using shared long-term keys

9. Key Exchange uParties may have initial information uGenerate and agree on session key Authentication – know ID of other party Secrecy – key not known to any others Avoid replay attack Forward secrecy Avoid denial of service Identity protection – disclosure to others Other properties you can think of???

10. Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange uAssume finite group G =  S,   Generator g so every x  S is x = g n Example: integers modulo prime p uProtocol g a mod p g b mod p A B Alice, Bob share g ab mod p not known to anyone else

11. Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange Authentication? Secrecy? Replay attack Forward secrecy? Denial of service? Identity protection? g a mod p g b mod p A B

12. IPSec: Network Layer Security uAuthentication Header (AH) Access control and authenticate data origins replay protection No confidentiality uEncapsulated Secure Payload (ESP) Encryption and/or authentication uInternet Key Management (IKE) Determine and distribute secret keys Oakley + ISAKMP Algorithm independent uSecurity policy database (SPD) discarded, or bypass

13. IKE: Many modes uMain mode Authentication by pre-shared keys Auth with digital signatures Auth with public-key encryption Auth with revised public-key encryption uQuick mode Compress number of messages Also four authentication options

14. Aug 2001 Position Statement u In the several years since the standardization of the IPSEC protocols (ESP, AH, and ISAKMP/IKE), … several security problems…, most notably IKE. uFormal and semi-formal analyses by Meadows, Schneier et al, and Simpson, have shown … security problems in IKE stem directly from its complexity. uIt seems … only a matter of time before serious *implementation* problems become apparent, again due to the complex nature of the protocol, and the complex implementation that must surely follow. uThe Security Area Directors have asked the IPSEC working group to come up with a replacement for IKE.

15. How to study complex protocol

16. General Problem in Security uDivide-and-conquer is fundamental Decompose system requirements into parts Develop independent software modules Combine modules to produce required system uCommon belief: Security properties do not compose Difficult system development problem

17. Example protocol Protocol P1 A  B : {message} KB A  B : KA -1 uThis satisfies basic requirements Message is transmitted under encryption Revealing secret key KA -1 does not reveal message

18. Similar protocol Protocol P2 B  A : {message’} KA B  A : KB -1 uTransmits msg securely from B to A Message is transmitted under encryption Revealing secret key KB -1 does not reveal message

19. Composition P1; P2 uSequential composition of two protocols A  B : {message} KB A  B : KA -1 B  A : {message’} KA B  B : KB -1 uDefinitely not secure Eavesdropper learns both keys, decrypts messages

20. STS family m=g x, n=g y k=g xy STS 0H STS a STS aH STS H STS 0 STS PH JFK 1 distribute certificates cookie open responder JFK 0 symmetric hash JFK protect identities RFK STS P

21. Example uConstruct protocol with properties: Shared secret Authenticated Identity Protection DoS Protection uDesign requirements for IKE, JFK, IKEv2 (IPSec key exchange protocol)

22. Component 1 uDiffie-Hellman A  B: g a B  A: g b Shared secret (with someone) –A deduces: Knows(Y, g ab)  (Y = A) ۷ Knows(Y,b) Authenticated Identity Protection DoS Protection

23. Component 2 uChallenge Response: A  B: m, A B  A: n, sig B {m, n, A} A  B: sig A {m, n, B} Shared secret (with someone) Authenticated –A deduces: Received (B, msg1) Λ Sent (B, msg2) Identity Protection DoS Protection

24. Composition uISO 9798-3 protocol: A  B: g a, A B  A: g b, sig B {g a, g b, A} A  B: sig A {g a, g b, B} Shared secret: gab Authenticated Identity Protection DoS Protection m := g a n := g b

25. Refinement uEncrypt signatures: A  B: g a, A B  A: g b, E K {sig B {g a, g b, A}} A  B: E K {sig A {g a, g b, B}} Shared secret: gab Authenticated Identity Protection DoS Protection

26. Transformation uUse cookie: JFK core protocol A  B: g a, A B  A: g b, hash KB {g b, g a } A  B: g a, g b, hash KB {g b, g a } E K {sig A {g a, g b, B}} B  A: g b, E K {sig B {g a, g b, A}} Shared secret: gab Authenticated Identity Protection DoS Protection (Here B must store b in step 2, but we’ll fix this later…)

27. Cookie transformation uTypical protocol Client sends request to server Server sets up connection, responds Client may complete session or not (DOS) uCookie version Client sends request to server Server sends hashed data back –Send message #2 later after client confirms Client confirms by returning hashed data Need extra step to send postponed message

28. Cookie in JFK uProtocol susceptible to DOS A  B: g a, A B  A: g b, E K {sig B {g a, g b, A}} A  B: E K {sig A {g a, g b, B}} uUse cookie: JFK core protocol A  B: g a, A B  A: g b, hash KB {g b, g a } A  B: g a, g b, hash KB {g b, g a }, eh2 B  A: g b, eh1 eh1 eh2

29. Efficiency: Reuse D-H key uCostly to compute g a, g b, g ab uSolution Keep medium-term g a, g b (change ~10 min) Replace g a by pair g a, nonce uJFKi, JFKr protocols (except cert or grpinfo, …) A  B: Na, g a, A B  A: Nb, g b, hash KB {Nb, Na, g b, g a } A  B: Na, Nb, g a, g b, hash KB {Nb, Na, g b, g a }, E K {sig A {Na, Nb, g a, g b, B}} B  A: g b, E K {sig B {Na, Nb, g a, g b, A}} Note: B does not need to store any short-term data in step 2

30. Conclusion uMany protocol properties Authentication Secrecy Prevent replay Forward secrecy Denial of service Identity protection uSystematic understanding is possible But be careful; easy to make mistakes State of the art: need to analyze complete protocol
