1.  Introduction

   Traditionally, TLS client and server public keys are obtained in PKIX
   containers in-band as part of the TLS handshake procedure and are
   validated using trust anchors based on a PKIX certification authority
   (CA) [RFC5280].  This method can add a complicated trust relationship
   that is difficult to validate.  Examples of such complexity can be
   seen in [Defeating-SSL].

   Alternative methods are available that allow a TLS clients/servers to
   obtain the TLS servers/client public key:

   o  TLS clients can obtain the TLS server public key from a DNSSEC
      secured resource records using DANE [RFC6698].

   o  The TLS client or server public key is obtained from a certificate
      chain via a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) [RFC4511]
      server or web page.

Wouters, et al.          Expires April 22, 2014                 [Page 2]
Internet-Draft      Using Raw Public Keys in TLS/DTLS       October 2013

   o  The TLS client and server public key is provisioned into the
      operating system firmware image, and updated via software updates.
      For example:

      Some smart objects use the UDP-based Constrained Application
      Protocol (CoAP) [I-D.ietf-core-coap] to interact with a Web server
      to upload sensor data at a regular intervals, such as temperature
      readings.  CoAP [I-D.ietf-core-coap] can utilize DTLS for securing
      the client-to-server communication.  As part of the manufacturing
      process, the embedded device may be configured with the address
      and the public key of a dedicated CoAP server, as well as a public
      /private key pair for the client itself.

   This document introduces the use of raw public keys in TLS/DTLS.  Raw
   public key thereby means that only a sub-set of the information found
   in typical certificates is utilized, namely the SubjectPublicKeyInfo
   structure of a PKIX certificates that carries the parameters
   necessary to describe the public key.  Other parameters also found in
   a PKIX certificate are omitted.  A consequence of omitting various
   certificate related structures is that the resulting raw public key
   is fairly small (compared to the original certificate) and does not
   require codepaths for the ASN.1 parser, for certificate path
   validation and other PKIX related processing tasks.  To further
   reduce the size of the exchanged information this specification can
   be combined with the TLS Cached Info extension
   [I-D.ietf-tls-cached-info], which enables TLS endpoints to just
   exchange fingerprints of their public keys (rather than the full
   public keys).

   The mechanism defined herein only provides authentication when an
   out-of-band mechanism is also used to bind the public key to the
   entity presenting the key.

   This document is structured as follows: Section 3 defines the
   structure of the two new TLS extensions "client_certificate_type" and
   "server_certificate_type", which can be used as part of an extended
   TLS handshake when raw public keys are to be used.  Section 4 defines
   the behavior of the TLS client and the TLS server.  Example exchanges
   are described in Section 5.  Finally, in Section 7 this document also
   registers a new value to the IANA certificate types registry for the
   support of raw public keys.

2.  Terminology

   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 [RFC2119].

   We use the terms 'TLS server' and 'server' as well as 'TLS client'
   and 'client' interchangable.

3.  Structure of the Raw Public Key Extension

   This section defines the two TLS extensions 'client_certificate_type'
   and 'server_certificate_type', which can be used as part of an
   extended TLS handshake when raw public keys are used.  Section 4
   defines the behavior of the TLS client and the TLS server using this
   extension.

   This specification reuses the SubjectPublicKeyInfo structure to
   encode the raw public key and to convey that information within the
   TLS handshake the Certificate payload is utilized as a container, as
   shown in Figure 1.  The shown Certificate structure is an adaptation
   of its original form [RFC5246].

   opaque ASN.1Cert<1..2^24-1>;

   struct {
       select(certificate_type){

           // certificate type defined in this document.
           case RawPublicKey:
             opaque ASN.1_subjectPublicKeyInfo<1..2^24-1>;

           // X.509 certificate defined in RFC 5246
           case X.509:
             ASN.1Cert certificate_list<0..2^24-1>;

           // Additional certificate type based on TLS
           // Certificate Type Registry
       };
   } Certificate;

   Figure 1: Certificate Payload as a Container for the Raw Public Key.

   The SubjectPublicKeyInfo structure is defined in Section 4.1 of RFC
   5280 [RFC5280] and does not only contain the raw keys, such as the
   public exponent and the modulus of an RSA public key, but also an
   algorithm identifier.  The algorithm identifier can also include
   parameters.  The structure, as shown in Figure 2, is represented in a
   DER encoded ASN.1 format [X.690] and therefore contains length
   information as well.  An example is provided in Appendix A.

           algorithm               AlgorithmIdentifier,

              Figure 2: SubjectPublicKeyInfo ASN.1 Structure.

   The algorithm identifiers are Object Identifiers (OIDs).  RFC 3279
   [RFC3279] and [RFC5480], for example, define the following OIDs shown
   in Figure 3.  Note that this list is not exhaustive and more OIDs may
   be defined in future RFCs.  RFC 5480 also defines a number of OIDs.

   The extension format for extended client hellos and extended server,
   via the "extension_data" field, is used to carry the
   ClientCertTypeExtension and the ServerCertTypeExtension structures.
   These two structures are shown in Figure 4.  The CertificateType
   structure is an enum with values taken from the 'TLS Certificate
   Type' registry [TLS-Certificate-Types-Registry].

           select(ClientOrServerExtension)
               case client:

               case server:
                 CertificateType client_certificate_type;
           }
   } ClientCertTypeExtension;

   } ServerCertTypeExtension;

4.  TLS Client and Server Handshake Behavior

   This specification extends the ClientHello and the ServerHello
   messages, according to the extension procedures defined in [RFC5246].
   It does not extend or modify any other TLS message.

   Note: No new cipher suites are required to use raw public keys.  All
   existing cipher suites that support a key exchange method compatible
   with the defined extension can be used.

   The high-level message exchange in Figure 5 shows the
   'client_certificate_type' and 'server_certificate_type' extensions
   added to the client and server hello messages.

    client_hello,
    client_certificate_type,
    server_certificate_type   ->

                              <-  server_hello,
                                  client_certificate_type,
                                  server_certificate_type,

4.1.  Client Hello

   In order to indicate the support of raw public keys, clients include
   the 'client_certificate_type' and/or the 'server_certificate_type'
   extensions in an extended client hello message.  The hello extension
   mechanism is described in Section 7.4.1.4 of TLS 1.2 [RFC5246].

   The 'client_certificate_type' sent in the client hello indicates the
   certificate types the client is able to provide to the server, when
   requested using a certificate_request message.

   The 'server_certificate_type' in the client hello indicates the types
   of certificates the client is able to process when provided by the
   server in a subsequent certificate payload.

   The 'client_certificate_type' and 'server_certificate_type' sent in
   the client hello may carry a list of supported certificate types,
   sorted by client preference.  It is a list in the case where the
   client supports multiple certificate types.

   The TLS client MUST omit the 'client_certificate_type' extension in
   the client hello if it does not possess a client certificate or is
   not configured to use one with the given TLS server.  The TLS client
   MUST omit the 'server_certificate_type' extension in the client hello
   if it is unable to process any certificate types from the server
   (which is a situation that should not occur in normal circumstances).

4.2.  Server Hello

   If the server receives a client hello that contains the
   'client_certificate_type' and 'server_certificate_type' extensions
   and chooses a cipher suite then three outcomes are possible:

   1.  The server does not support the extension defined in this
       document.  In this case the server returns the server hello
       without the extensions defined in this document.

   2.  The server supports the extension defined in this document but it
       does not have a certificate type in common with the client.  Then
       the server terminates the session with a fatal alert of type
       "unsupported_certificate".

   3.  The server supports the extensions defined in this document and
       has at least one certificate type in common with the client.  In
       this case the processing rules described below are followed.

Wouters, et al.          Expires April 22, 2014                 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft      Using Raw Public Keys in TLS/DTLS       October 2013

   If the client hello indicates support of raw public keys in the
   'client_certificate_type' extension and the server chooses to use raw
   public keys then the TLS server MUST place the SubjectPublicKeyInfo
   structure into the Certificate payload.

   If the TLS server also requests a certificate from the client (via
   the certificate_request message) it MUST include the
   'client_certificate_type' extension with a value chosen from the list
   of client-supported certificates types (as provided in the
   'client_certificate_type' of the client hello).

   If the server does not send a certificate_request payload (for
   example, because client authentication happens at the application
   layer or no client authentication is required) or none of the
   certificates supported by the client (as indicated in the
   'server_certificate_type' in the client hello) match the server-
   supported certificate types then the 'server_certificate_type'
   payload in the server hello is omitted.

4.3.  Client Authentication

   Authentication of the TLS client to the TLS server is supported only
   through authentication of the received client SubjectPublicKeyInfo
   via an out-of-band method.

5.  Examples

   This section illustrates a number of possible usage scenarios.

5.1.  TLS Server uses Raw Public Key

   This section shows an example where the TLS client indicates its
   ability to receive and validate raw public keys from the server.  In
   our example the client is quite restricted since it is unable to
   process other certificate types sent by the server.  It also does not
   have credentials (at the TLS layer) it could send to the server and
   therefore omits the 'client_certificate_type' extension.  Hence, the
   client only populates the 'server_certificate_type' extension with
   the raw public key type, as shown in [1].

   When the TLS server receives the client hello it processes the
   extension.  Since it has a raw public key it indicates in [2] that it
   had chosen to place the SubjectPublicKeyInfo structure into the
   Certificate payload [3].

   The client uses this raw public key in the TLS handshake together
   with an out-of-band validation technique, such as DANE, to verify it.

5.2.  TLS Client and Server use Raw Public Keys

   This section shows an example where the TLS client as well as the TLS
   server use raw public keys.  This is a use case envisioned for smart
   object networking.  The TLS client in this case is an embedded device
   that is configured with a raw public key for use with TLS and is also
   able to process raw public keys sent by the server.  Therefore, it
   indicates these capabilities in [1].  As in the previously shown
   example the server fulfills the client's request, indicates this via
   the "RawPublicKey" value in the server_certificate_type payload, and
   provides a raw public key into the Certificate payload back to the
   client (see [3]).  The TLS server, however, demands client
   authentication and therefore a certificate_request is added [4].  The
   certificate_type payload in [2] indicates that the TLS server accepts
   raw public keys.  The TLS client, who has a raw public key pre-
   provisioned, returns it in the Certificate payload [5] to the server.

   client_hello,
   client_certificate_type=(RawPublicKey) // [1]
   server_certificate_type=(RawPublicKey) // [1]
                            ->
                            <-  server_hello,

5.3.  Combined Usage of Raw Public Keys and X.509 Certificate

   This section shows an example combining raw public keys and X.509
   certificates.  The client uses a raw public key for client
   authentication but the server provides an X.509 certificate.  This
   exchange starts with the client indicating its ability to process
   X.509 certificates provided by the server, and the ability to send
   raw public keys (see [1]).  The server provides the X.509 certificate
   in [3] with the indication present in [2].  For client authentication
   the server indicates in [4] that it selected the raw public key
   format and requests a certificate from the client in [5].  The TLS
   client provides a raw public key in [6] after receiving and
   processing the TLS server hello message.

   server_certificate_type=(X.509)
   client_certificate_type=(RawPublicKey) // [1]

                            <-  server_hello,

6.  Security Considerations

   The transmission of raw public keys, as described in this document,
   provides benefits by lowering the over-the-air transmission overhead
   since raw public keys are quite naturally smaller than an entire
   certificate.  There are also advantages from a code size point of
   view for parsing and processing these keys.  The cryptographic
   procedures for associating the public key with the possession of a
   private key also follows standard procedures.

   The main security challenge is, however, how to associate the public
   key with a specific entity.  Without a secure binding between
   identity and key, the protocol will be vulnerable to masquerade and
   man-in-the-middle attacks.  This document assumes that such binding
   can be made out-of-band and we list a few examples in Section 1.
   DANE [RFC6698] offers one such approach.  In order to address these
   vulnerabilities, specifications that make use of the extension MUST
   specify how the identity and public key are bound.  In addition to
   ensuring the binding is done out-of-band an implementation also needs
   to check the status of that binding.

      If public keys are obtained using DANE, these public keys are
      authenticated via DNSSEC.  Pre-configured keys is another out of
      band method for authenticating raw public keys.  While pre-
      configured keys are not suitable for a generic Web-based
      e-commerce environment such keys are a reasonable approach for
      many smart object deployments where there is a close relationship
      between the software running on the device and the server-side
      communication endpoint.  Regardless of the chosen mechanism for
      out-of-band public key validation an assessment of the most
      suitable approach has to be made prior to the start of a
      deployment to ensure the security of the system.

   A downgrading attack is another possibility for an adversary to gain
   advantages.  Thereby, an attacker might try to influence the
   handshake exchange to make the parties select different certificate
   types than they would normally choose.

   For this attack, an attacker must actively change one or more
   handshake messages.  If this occurs, the client and server will

Wouters, et al.          Expires April 22, 2014                [Page 11]
Internet-Draft      Using Raw Public Keys in TLS/DTLS       October 2013

   compute different values for the handshake message hashes.  As a
   result, the parties will not accept each others' Finished messages.
   Without the master_secret, the attacker cannot repair the Finished
   messages, so the attack will be discovered.

7.  IANA Considerations

   IANA is asked to register a new value in the "TLS Certificate Types"
   registry of Transport Layer Security (TLS) Extensions
   [TLS-Certificate-Types-Registry], as follows:

   Value: 2
   Description: Raw Public Key
   Reference: [[THIS RFC]]

   This document asks IANA to allocate two new TLS extensions,
   "client_certificate_type" and "server_certificate_type", from the TLS
   ExtensionType registry defined in [RFC5246].  These extensions are
   used in both the client hello message and the server hello message.
   The new extension type is used for certificate type negotiation.  The
   values carried in these extensions are taken from the TLS Certificate
   Types registry [TLS-Certificate-Types-Registry].
