Abstract
|
||
|
||
This memo defines protocols, procedures, and conventions to be
|
||
employed by peers implementing the Generic Security Service
|
||
Application Program Interface (GSS-API as specified in [RFC-2743])
|
||
when using the Kerberos Version 5 mechanism (as specified in
|
||
[KRBCLAR]).
|
||
|
||
[RFC-1964] is updated and incremental changes are proposed in
|
||
response to recent developments such as the introduction of Kerberos
|
||
crypto framework [KCRYPTO]. These changes support the inclusion of
|
||
new cryptosystems based on crypto profiles [KCRYPTO], by defining
|
||
new per-message and context-deletion tokens along with their
|
||
encryption and checksum algorithms.
|
||
|
||
Conventions used in this document
|
||
|
||
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
|
||
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
|
||
document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC-2119].
|
||
|
||
1. Introduction
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Zhu Internet Draft 1
|
||
Kerberos Version 5 GSS-API September 2003
|
||
|
||
|
||
[KCRYPTO] defines a generic framework for describing encryption and
|
||
checksum types to be used with the Kerberos protocol and associated
|
||
protocols.
|
||
|
||
[RFC-1964] describes the GSS-API mechanism for Kerberos Version 5.
|
||
It defines the format of context initiation, per-message and context
|
||
deletion tokens and uses algorithm identifiers for each cryptosystem
|
||
in per message and context deletion tokens.
|
||
|
||
The approach taken in this document obviates the need for algorithm
|
||
identifiers. This is accomplished by using the same encryption and
|
||
checksum algorithms specified by the crypto profile [KCRYPTO] for
|
||
the session key or subkey that is created during context
|
||
negotiation. Message layouts of the per-message and context
|
||
deletion tokens are therefore revised to remove algorithm indicators
|
||
and also to add extra information to support the generic crypto
|
||
framework [KCRYPTO].
|
||
|
||
Tokens transferred between GSS-API peers for security context
|
||
initiation are also described in this document. The data elements
|
||
exchanged between a GSS-API endpoint implementation and the Kerberos
|
||
KDC are not specific to GSS-API usage and are therefore defined
|
||
within [KRBCLAR] rather than within this specification.
|
||
|
||
The new token formats specified in this memo MUST be used with all
|
||
"newer" encryption types [KRBCLAR] and MAY be used with "older"
|
||
encryption types, provided that the initiator and acceptor know,
|
||
from the context establishment, that they can both process these new
|
||
token formats.
|
||
|
||
"Newer" encryption types are those which have been specified along
|
||
with or since the new Kerberos cryptosystem specification [KCRYPTO],
|
||
as defined in section 3.1.3 of [KRBCLAR].
|
||
|
||
Note that in this document, the term "little endian order" is used
|
||
for brevity to refer to the least-significant-byte-first encoding,
|
||
while the term "big endian order" is for the most-significant-byte-
|
||
first encoding.
|
||
|
||
2. Key Derivation for Per-Message and Context Deletion Tokens
|
||
|
||
To limit the exposure of a given key, [KCRYPTO] adopted "one-way"
|
||
"entropy-preserving" derived keys, for different purposes or key
|
||
usages, from a base key or protocol key. This document defines four
|
||
key usage values below for signing and sealing messages:
|
||
|
||
Name Value
|
||
-------------------------------------
|
||
KG-USAGE-ACCEPTOR-SEAL 22
|
||
KG-USAGE-ACCEPTOR-SIGN 23
|
||
KG-USAGE-INITIATOR-SEAL 24
|
||
KG-USAGE-INITIATOR-SIGN 25
|
||
|
||
|
||
Zhu Internet Draft 2
|
||
Kerberos Version 5 GSS-API September 2003
|
||
|
||
|
||
When the sender is the context acceptor, KG-USAGE-ACCEPTOR-SIGN is
|
||
used as the usage number in the key derivation function for deriving
|
||
keys to be used in MIC and context deletion tokens, and KG-USAGE-
|
||
ACCEPTOR-SEAL is used for Wrap tokens; similarly when the sender is
|
||
the context initiator, KG-USAGE-INITIATOR-SIGN is used as the usage
|
||
number in the key derivation function for MIC and context deletion
|
||
tokens, KG-USAGE-INITIATOR-SEAL is used for Wrap Tokens. Even if
|
||
the Wrap token does not provide for confidentiality the same usage
|
||
values specified above are used.
|
||
|
||
During context initiation, the acceptor MAY assert a subkey, and if
|
||
so, subsequent messages MUST use this subkey as the protocol key and
|
||
these messages MUST be flagged as "AcceptorSubkey" as described in
|
||
section 4.2.2.
|
||
|
||
3. Quality of Protection
|
||
|
||
The GSS-API specification [RFC-2743] provides for Quality of
|
||
Protection (QOP) values that can be used by applications to request
|
||
a certain type of encryption or signing. A zero QOP value is used
|
||
to indicate the "default" protection; applications which use the
|
||
default QOP are not guaranteed to be portable across implementations
|
||
or even inter-operate with different deployment configurations of
|
||
the same implementation. Using an algorithm that is different from
|
||
the one for which the key is defined may not be appropriate.
|
||
Therefore, when the new method in this document is used, the QOP
|
||
value is ignored.
|
||
|
||
The encryption and checksum algorithms in per-message and context
|
||
deletion tokens are now implicitly defined by the algorithms
|
||
associated with the session key or subkey. Algorithms identifiers
|
||
as described in [RFC-1964] are therefore no longer needed and
|
||
removed from the new token headers.
|
||
|
||
4. Definitions and Token Formats
|
||
|
||
This section provides terms and definitions, as well as descriptions
|
||
for tokens specific to the Kerberos Version 5 GSS-API mechanism.
|
||
|
||
4.1. Initial Context Tokens
|
||
|
||
Per [RFC-2743], all context initiation tokens emitted by the
|
||
Kerberos V5 GSS-API mechanism will have the framing shown below:
|
||
|
||
GSS-API DEFINITIONS ::=
|
||
|
||
BEGIN
|
||
|
||
MechType ::= OBJECT IDENTIFIER
|
||
-- representing Kerberos V5 mechanism
|
||
|
||
GSSAPI-Token ::=
|
||
-- option indication (delegation, etc.) indicated within
|
||
-- mechanism-specific token
|
||
|
||
Zhu Internet Draft 3
|
||
Kerberos Version 5 GSS-API September 2003
|
||
|
||
|
||
[APPLICATION 0] IMPLICIT SEQUENCE {
|
||
thisMech MechType,
|
||
innerToken ANY DEFINED BY thisMech
|
||
-- contents mechanism-specific
|
||
-- ASN.1 structure not required
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
END
|
||
|
||
The innerToken field starts with a two-byte token-identifier
|
||
(TOK_ID) expressed in big endian order, followed by a Kerberos
|
||
message.
|
||
|
||
Here are the TOK_ID values used in the initial tokens:
|
||
|
||
Token TOK_ID Value in Hex
|
||
-----------------------------------------
|
||
KRB_AP_REQUEST 01 00
|
||
KRB_AP_REPLY 02 00
|
||
KRB_ERROR 03 00
|
||
|
||
Where Kerberos message KRB_AP_REQUEST, KRB_AP_REPLY, and KRB_ERROR
|
||
are defined in [KRBCLAR].
|
||
|
||
If an unknown token ID is received in the first context token, the
|
||
receiver MUST return GSS_S_CONTINUE_NEEDED major status, and the
|
||
returned output token MUST contain a KRB_ERROR message with the
|
||
error code KRB_AP_ERR_MSG_TYPE [KRBCLAR].
|
||
|
||
4.1.1. Authenticator Checksum
|
||
|
||
The authenticator in the KRB_AP_REQ message MUST include the
|
||
optional sequence number and the checksum field. The checksum field
|
||
is used to convey service flags, channel bindings, and optional
|
||
delegation information. It MUST have a type of 0x8003. The length
|
||
of the checksum MUST be 24 bytes when delegation is not used. When
|
||
delegation is used, a ticket-granting ticket will be transferred in
|
||
a KRB_CRED message. The ticket SHOULD have its forwardable flag
|
||
set. The KRB_CRED message MUST be encrypted in the session key of
|
||
the ticket used to authenticate the context.
|
||
|
||
The format of the authenticator checksum field is as follows.
|
||
|
||
Byte Name Description
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
0..3 Lgth Number of bytes in Bnd field; Currently contains
|
||
hex value 10 00 00 00 (16, represented in little-
|
||
endian order)
|
||
4..19 Bnd Channel binding information, as describe in
|
||
section 4.1.1.2.
|
||
20..23 Flags Four-byte context-establishment flags in little-
|
||
endian order as described in section 4.1.1.1.
|
||
24..25 DlgOpt The Delegation Option identifier (=1) [optional]
|
||
26..27 Dlgth The length of the Deleg field [optional]
|
||
|
||
|
||
Zhu Internet Draft 4
|
||
Kerberos Version 5 GSS-API September 2003
|
||
|
||
|
||
28..n Deleg A KRB_CRED message (n = Dlgth + 29) [optional]
|
||
|
||
4.1.1.1. Checksum Flags Field
|
||
|
||
The checksum "Flags" field is used to convey service options or
|
||
extension negotiation information. The following context
|
||
establishment flags are defined in [RFC-2744].
|
||
|
||
Flag Name Value
|
||
---------------------------------
|
||
GSS_C_DELEG_FLAG 1
|
||
GSS_C_MUTUAL_FLAG 2
|
||
GSS_C_REPLAY_FLAG 4
|
||
GSS_C_SEQUENCE_FLAG 8
|
||
GSS_C_CONF_FLAG 16
|
||
GSS_C_INTEG_FLAG 32
|
||
GSS_C_ANON_FLAG 64
|
||
|
||
Context establishment flags are exposed to the calling application.
|
||
If the calling application desires a particular service option then
|
||
it requests that option via GSS_Init_sec_context() [RFC-2743]. An
|
||
implementation that supports a particular option or extension SHOULD
|
||
then set the appropriate flag in the checksum Flags field.
|
||
|
||
The receiver MUST ignore unknown checksum flags.
|
||
|
||
4.1.1.2. Channel Binding Information
|
||
|
||
Channel bindings are user-specified tags to identify a given context
|
||
to the peer application. These tags are intended to be used to
|
||
identify the particular communications channel that carries the
|
||
context.
|
||
|
||
When using C language bindings, channel bindings are communicated to
|
||
the GSS-API using the following structure [RFC-2744]:
|
||
|
||
typedef struct gss_channel_bindings_struct {
|
||
OM_uint32 initiator_addrtype;
|
||
gss_buffer_desc initiator_address;
|
||
OM_uint32 acceptor_addrtype;
|
||
gss_buffer_desc acceptor_address;
|
||
gss_buffer_desc application_data;
|
||
} *gss_channel_bindings_t;
|
||
|
||
The member fields and constants used for different address types are
|
||
defined in [RFC-2744].
|
||
|
||
The "Bnd" field contains the MD5 hash of channel bindings, taken
|
||
over all non-null components of bindings, in order of declaration.
|
||
Integer fields within channel bindings are represented in little-
|
||
endian order for the purposes of the MD5 calculation.
|
||
|
||
In computing the contents of the Bnd field, the following detailed
|
||
points apply:
|
||
|
||
|
||
Zhu Internet Draft 5
|
||
Kerberos Version 5 GSS-API September 2003
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
(1) Each integer field shall be formatted into four bytes, using
|
||
little endian byte ordering, for purposes of MD5 hash computation.
|
||
|
||
(2) All input length fields within gss_buffer_desc elements of a
|
||
gss_channel_bindings_struct even those which are zero-valued, shall
|
||
be included in the hash calculation; the value elements of
|
||
gss_buffer_desc elements shall be dereferenced, and the resulting
|
||
data shall be included within the hash computation, only for the
|
||
case of gss_buffer_desc elements having non-zero length specifiers.
|
||
|
||
(3) If the caller passes the value GSS_C_NO_BINDINGS instead of a
|
||
valid channel binding structure, the Bnd field shall be set to 16
|
||
zero-valued bytes.
|
||
|
||
4.2. Per-Message and Context Deletion Tokens
|
||
|
||
Three classes of tokens are defined in this section: "MIC" tokens,
|
||
emitted by calls to GSS_GetMIC() and consumed by calls to
|
||
GSS_VerifyMIC(), "Wrap" tokens, emitted by calls to GSS_Wrap() and
|
||
consumed by calls to GSS_Unwrap(), and context deletion tokens,
|
||
emitted by calls to GSS_Delete_sec_context() and consumed by calls
|
||
to GSS_Process_context_token().
|
||
|
||
The new per-message and context deletion tokens introduced here do
|
||
not include the pseudo ASN.1 header used by the initial context
|
||
tokens. These new tokens are designed to be used with newer crypto
|
||
systems that can, for example, have variable-size checksums.
|
||
|
||
4.2.1. Sequence Number and Direction Indicator
|
||
|
||
To distinguish intentionally-repeated messages from maliciously-
|
||
replayed ones, per-message and context deletion tokens contain a
|
||
sequence number field, which is a 64 bit integer expressed in big
|
||
endian order. One separate bit is used as the direction-indicator
|
||
in the Flags field as described in section 4.2.2, thus preventing an
|
||
adversary from sending back the same message in the reverse
|
||
direction and having it accepted. Both the sequence number and the
|
||
direction-indicator are protected by the encryption and checksum
|
||
procedures specified in section 4.2.4.
|
||
|
||
After sending a GSS_GetMIC() or GSS_Wrap() token, the sender's
|
||
sequence numbers are incremented by one.
|
||
|
||
4.2.2. Flags Field
|
||
|
||
The "Flags" field is a one-byte integer used to indicate a set of
|
||
attributes. The meanings of bits in this field (the least
|
||
significant bit is bit 0) are as follows:
|
||
|
||
Bit Name Description
|
||
---------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
0 SentByAcceptor When set, this flag indicates the sender
|
||
is the context acceptor. When not set,
|
||
|
||
|
||
Zhu Internet Draft 6
|
||
Kerberos Version 5 GSS-API September 2003
|
||
|
||
|
||
it indicates the sender is the context
|
||
initiator.
|
||
1 Sealed When set in Wrap tokens, this flag
|
||
indicates confidentiality is provided
|
||
for. It SHALL NOT be set in MIC and
|
||
context deletion tokens.
|
||
2 AcceptorSubkey A subkey asserted by the context acceptor
|
||
is used to protect the message.
|
||
|
||
The rest of available bits are reserved for future use and MUST be
|
||
cleared. The receiver MUST ignore unknown flags.
|
||
|
||
4.2.3. EC Field
|
||
|
||
The "EC" (Extra Count) field is a two-byte integer field expressed
|
||
in big endian order.
|
||
|
||
In Wrap tokens with confidentiality, the EC field is used to encode
|
||
the number of bytes in the filler, as described in section 4.2.4.
|
||
|
||
In Wrap tokens without confidentiality, the EC field is used to
|
||
encode the number of bytes in the trailing checksum, as described in
|
||
section 4.2.4.
|
||
|
||
4.2.4. Encryption and Checksum Operations
|
||
|
||
The encryption algorithms defined by the crypto profiles provide for
|
||
integrity protection [KCRYPTO]. Therefore no separate checksum is
|
||
needed.
|
||
|
||
The result of decryption can be longer than the original plaintext
|
||
[KCRYPTO] and the extra trailing bytes are called "crypto-system
|
||
garbage". However, given the size of any plaintext data, one can
|
||
always find the next (possibly larger) size so that, when padding
|
||
the to-be-encrypted text to that size, there will be no crypto-
|
||
system garbage added [KCRYPTO].
|
||
|
||
In Wrap tokens that provide for confidentiality, the first 16 bytes
|
||
of the Wrap token (the "header") are appended to the plaintext data
|
||
before encryption. Filler bytes can be inserted between the
|
||
plaintext-data and the "header", and the values and size of the
|
||
filler octets are chosen by implementations, such that there is no
|
||
crypto-system garbage present after the decryption. The resulting
|
||
Wrap token is {"header" | encrypt(plaintext-data | filler |
|
||
"header")}, where encrypt() is the encryption operation (which
|
||
provides for integrity protection) defined in the crypto profile
|
||
[KCRYPTO], and the RRC field in the to-be-encrypted header contains
|
||
the hex value 00 00.
|
||
|
||
In Wrap tokens that do not provide for confidentiality, the checksum
|
||
is calculated first over the plaintext data, and then the first 16
|
||
bytes of the Wrap token (the "header"). Both the EC field and the
|
||
RRC field in the token header are filled with zeroes for the purpose
|
||
of calculating the checksum. The resulting Wrap token is {"header"
|
||
|
||
|
||
Zhu Internet Draft 7
|
||
Kerberos Version 5 GSS-API September 2003
|
||
|
||
|
||
| plaintext-data | get_mic(plaintext-data | "header")}, where
|
||
get_mic() is the checksum operation defined in the crypto profile
|
||
[KCRYPTO].
|
||
|
||
The parameters for the key and the cipher-state in the encrypt() and
|
||
get_mic() operations have been omitted for brevity.
|
||
|
||
For MIC tokens, the checksum is first calculated over the first 16
|
||
bytes of the MIC token and then the to-be-signed plaintext data.
|
||
|
||
The resulting Wrap and MIC tokens bind the data to the token header,
|
||
including the sequence number and the directional indicator.
|
||
|
||
For context deletion tokens, the checksum is calculated over the
|
||
first 16 bytes of the token message.
|
||
|
||
4.2.5. RRC Field
|
||
|
||
The "RRC" (Right Rotation Count) field in Wrap tokens is added to
|
||
allow the data to be encrypted in-place by existing [SSPI]
|
||
applications that do not provide an additional buffer for the
|
||
trailer (the cipher text after the in-place-encrypted data) in
|
||
addition to the buffer for the header (the cipher text before the
|
||
in-place-encrypted data). The resulting Wrap token in the previous
|
||
section, excluding the first 16 bytes of the token header, is
|
||
rotated to the right by "RRC" bytes. The net result is that "RRC"
|
||
bytes of trailing octets are moved toward the header. Consider the
|
||
following as an example of this rotation operation: Assume that the
|
||
RRC value is 3 and the token before the rotation is {"header" | aa |
|
||
bb | cc | dd | ee | ff | gg | hh}, the token after rotation would be
|
||
{"header" | ff | gg | hh | aa | bb | cc | dd | ee }, where {aa | bb
|
||
| cc |...| hh} is used to indicate the byte sequence.
|
||
|
||
The RRC field is expressed as a two-byte integer in big endian
|
||
order.
|
||
|
||
The rotation count value is chosen by the sender based on
|
||
implementation details, and the receiver MUST be able to interpret
|
||
all possible rotation count values.
|
||
|
||
4.2.6. Message Layouts
|
||
|
||
Per-message and context deletion token messages start with a two-
|
||
byte token identifier (TOK_ID) field, expressed in big endian order.
|
||
These tokens are defined separately in subsequent sub-sections.
|
||
|
||
4.2.6.1. MIC Tokens
|
||
|
||
Use of the GSS_GetMIC() call yields a token, separate from the user
|
||
data being protected, which can be used to verify the integrity of
|
||
that data as received. The token has the following format:
|
||
|
||
|

||
-----------------------------------------------------------------
|
||

|
||
GSS_GetMIC() contain the hex value 04 04
|
||
expressed in big endian order in this field.
|
||

session key or subkey.
|
||
|
||
The Filler field is included in the checksum calculation for
|
||
simplicity. This is common to both MIC and context deletion token
|
||
checksum calculations.
|
||
|
||
4.2.6.2. Wrap Tokens
|
||
|
||
Use of the GSS_Wrap() call yields a token, which consists of a
|
||
descriptive header, followed by a body portion that contains either
|
||
the input user data in plaintext concatenated with the checksum, or
|
||
the input user data encrypted. The GSS_Wrap() token has the
|
||
following format:
|
||
|
||
Byte no Name Description
|
||
---------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
0..1 TOK_ID Identification field. Tokens emitted by
|
||
GSS_Wrap() contain the the hex value 05 04
|
||
expressed in big endian order in this field.
|
||
2 Flags Attributes field, as described in section
|
||
4.2.2.
|
||
3 Filler Contains the hex value FF.
|
||
4..5 EC Contains the "extra count" field, in big
|
||
endian order as described in section 4.2.3.
|
||
6..7 RRC Contains the "right rotation count" in big
|
||
endian order, as described in section 4.2.5.
|
||
8..15 SND_SEQ Sequence number field in clear text,
|
||
expressed in big endian order.
|
||
16..last Data Encrypted data for Wrap tokens with
|
||
confidentiality, or plaintext data followed
|
||
by the checksum for Wrap tokens without
|
||
confidentiality, as described in section
|
||
4.2.4, where the encryption or checksum
|
||
algorithm is defined by the crypto profile
|
||
for the session key or subkey.
|
||
|
||
4.2.6.3. Context Deletion Tokens
|
||
|
||
The token emitted by GSS_Delete_sec_context() is based on the packet
|
||
format for tokens emitted by GSS_GetMIC(). The context-deletion
|
||
token has the following format:

expressed in big endian order.
|
||
16..N SGN_CKSUM Checksum of byte 0..15, where the checksum
|
||
algorithm is defined by the crypto profile
|
||
for the session key or subkey.

||
5. Parameter Definitions
|
||
|
||
This section defines parameter values used by the Kerberos V5 GSS-
|
||
API mechanism. It defines interface elements in support of
|
||
portability, and assumes use of C language bindings per [RFC-2744].
|
||
|
||
5.1. Minor Status Codes
|
||
|
||
This section recommends common symbolic names for minor_status
|
||
values to be returned by the Kerberos V5 GSS-API mechanism. Use of
|
||
these definitions will enable independent implementers to enhance
|
||
application portability across different implementations of the
|
||
mechanism defined in this specification. (In all cases,
|
||
implementations of GSS_Display_status() will enable callers to
|
||
convert minor_status indicators to text representations.) Each
|
||
implementation should make available, through include files or other
|
||
means, a facility to translate these symbolic names into the
|
||
concrete values which a particular GSS-API implementation uses to
|
||
represent the minor_status values specified in this section.
|
||
|
||
It is recognized that this list may grow over time, and that the
|
||
need for additional minor_status codes specific to particular
|
||
implementations may arise. It is recommended, however, that
|
||
implementations should return a minor_status value as defined on a
|
||
mechanism-wide basis within this section when that code is
|
||
accurately representative of reportable status rather than using a
|
||
separate, implementation-defined code.
|
||
|
||
5.1.1. Non-Kerberos-specific codes
|
||
|
||
GSS_KRB5_S_G_BAD_SERVICE_NAME
|
||
/* "No @ in SERVICE-NAME name string" */
|
||
GSS_KRB5_S_G_BAD_STRING_UID
|
||
/* "STRING-UID-NAME contains nondigits" */
|
||
GSS_KRB5_S_G_NOUSER
|
||
/* "UID does not resolve to username" */
|
||
GSS_KRB5_S_G_VALIDATE_FAILED
|
||
/* "Validation error" */
|
||
GSS_KRB5_S_G_BUFFER_ALLOC
|
||
/* "Couldn't allocate gss_buffer_t data" */
|
||
|
||
|
||

|
||

|
||
/* "Buffer is the wrong size" */
|
||
GSS_KRB5_S_G_BAD_USAGE
|
||
/* "Credential usage type is unknown" */
|
||
GSS_KRB5_S_G_UNKNOWN_QOP
|
||
/* "Unknown quality of protection specified" */
|
||
|
||
5.1.2. Kerberos-specific-codes
|
||
|
||
GSS_KRB5_S_KG_CCACHE_NOMATCH
|
||
/* "Client principal in credentials does not match
|
||
specified name" */
|
||
GSS_KRB5_S_KG_KEYTAB_NOMATCH
|
||
/* "No key available for specified service principal" */
|
||
GSS_KRB5_S_KG_TGT_MISSING
|
||
/* "No Kerberos ticket-granting ticket available" */
|
||
GSS_KRB5_S_KG_NO_SUBKEY
|
||
/* "Authenticator has no subkey" */
|
||
GSS_KRB5_S_KG_CONTEXT_ESTABLISHED
|
||
/* "Context is already fully established" */
|
||
GSS_KRB5_S_KG_BAD_SIGN_TYPE
|
||
/* "Unknown signature type in token" */
|
||
GSS_KRB5_S_KG_BAD_LENGTH
|
||
/* "Invalid field length in token" */
|
||
GSS_KRB5_S_KG_CTX_INCOMPLETE
|
||
/* "Attempt to use incomplete security context" */
|
||
|
||
5.2. Buffer Sizes
|
||
|
||
All implementations of this specification shall be capable of
|
||
accepting buffers of at least 16K bytes as input to GSS_GetMIC(),
|
||
GSS_VerifyMIC(), and GSS_Wrap(), and shall be capable of accepting
|
||
the output_token generated by GSS_Wrap() for a 16K byte input buffer
|
||
as input to GSS_Unwrap(). Support for larger buffer sizes is
|
||
optional but recommended.
|
||
|
||
6. Backwards Compatibility Considerations
|
||
|
||
The new token formats defined in this document will only be
|
||
recognized by new implementations. To address this, implementations
|
||
can always use the explicit sign or seal algorithm in [RFC-1964]
|
||
when the key type corresponds to "older" enctypes. An alternative
|
||
approach might be to retry sending the message with the sign or seal
|
||
algorithm explicitly defined as in [RFC-1964]. However this would
|
||
require either the use of a mechanism such as [RFC-2478] to securely
|
||
negotiate the method or the use out of band mechanism to choose
|
||
appropriate mechanism. For this reason, it is RECOMMENDED that the
|
||
new token formats defined in this document SHOULD be used only if
|
||
both peers are known to support the new mechanism during context
|
||
negotiation, for example, either because of the use of "new"
|
||
enctypes or because of the use of Kerberos Version 5 extensions.

||

|
||
7. Security Considerations
|
||
|
||
Under the current mechanism, no negotiation of algorithm types
|
||
occurs, so server-side (acceptor) implementations cannot request
|
||
that clients not use algorithm types not understood by the server.
|
||
However, administration of the server's Kerberos data (e.g., the
|
||
service key) has to be done in communication with the KDC, and it is
|
||
from the KDC that the client will request credentials. The KDC
|
||
could therefore be given the task of limiting session keys for a
|
||
given service to types actually supported by the Kerberos and GSSAPI
|
||
software on the server.
|
||
|
||
This does have a drawback for cases where a service principal name
|
||
is used both for GSSAPI-based and non-GSSAPI-based communication
|
||
(most notably the "host" service key), if the GSSAPI implementation
|
||
does not understand (for example) AES [AES-KRB5] but the Kerberos
|
||
implementation does. It means that AES session keys cannot be
|
||
issued for that service principal, which keeps the protection of
|
||
non-GSSAPI services weaker than necessary. KDC administrators
|
||
desiring to limit the session key types to support interoperability
|
||
with such GSSAPI implementations should carefully weigh the
|
||
reduction in protection offered by such mechanisms against the
|
||
benefits of interoperability.

The authors wish to acknowledge the contributions from the following
|
||
individuals:
|

use of generic profiles and were instrumental in the creation of this
|
||
draft.

||
|
||
The text for security considerations was contributed by Ken Raeburn.
|
||

||
Sam Hartman and Ken Raeburn suggested the "floating trailer" idea,
|
||
namely the encoding of the RRC field.
|
||
|
||
Sam Hartman and Nicolas Williams recommended the replacing our
|
||
earlier key derivation function for directional keys with different
|
||
key usage numbers for each direction as well as retaining the
|
||
directional bit for maximum compatibility.

|
||
|
||
Scott Field, Richard Ward, Dan Simon, and Kevin Damour also provided
