   Perfect-Forward Secrecy for the Extensible Authentication Protocol
       Method for Authentication and Key Agreement (EAP-AKA' PFS)
                       draft-ietf-emu-aka-pfs-05

Abstract

   Many different attacks have been reported as part of revelations
   associated with pervasive surveillance.  Some of the reported attacks
   involved compromising smart cards, such as attacking SIM card
   manufacturers and operators in an effort to compromise shared secrets
   stored on these cards.  Since the publication of those reports,
   manufacturing and provisioning processes have gained much scrutiny
   and have improved.  However, the danger of resourceful attackers for
   these systems is still a concern.

   This specification is an optional extension to the EAP-AKA'
   authentication method which was defined in [I-D.ietf-emu-rfc5448bis].
   The extension, when negotiated, provides Perfect Forward Secrecy for
   the session key generated as a part of the authentication run in EAP-
   AKA'.  This prevents an attacker who has gained access to the long-
   term pre-shared secret in a SIM card from being able to decrypt any
   past communications.  In addition, if the attacker stays merely a
   passive eavesdropper, the extension prevents attacks against future
   sessions.  This forces attackers to use active attacks instead.

1.  Introduction

   Many different attacks have been reported as part of revelations
   associated with pervasive surveillance.  Some of the reported attacks
   involved compromising smart cards, such as attacking SIM card
   manufacturers and operators in an effort to compromise shared secrets
   stored on these cards.  Such attacks are conceivable, for instance,
   during the manufacturing process of cards, or during the transfer of
   cards and associated information to the operator.  Since the
   publication of reports about such attacks, manufacturing and
   provisioning processes have gained much scrutiny and have improved.

   However, the danger of resourceful attackers attempting to gain
   information about SIM cards is still a concern.  They are a high-
   value target and concern a large number of people.  Note that the
   attacks are largely independent of the used authentication
   technology; the issue is not vulnerabilities in algorithms or
   protocols, but rather the possibility of someone gaining unlawful
   access to key material.  While the better protection of manufacturing
   and other processes is essential in protecting against this, there is
   one question that we as protocol designers can ask.  Is there
   something that we can do to limit the consequences of attacks, should
   they occur?

   The authors want to provide a public specification of an extension
   that helps defend against one aspect of pervasive surveillance.  This
   is important, given the large number of users such practices may
   affect.  It is also a stated goal of the IETF to ensure that we
   understand the surveillance concerns related to IETF protocols and
   take appropriate countermeasures [RFC7258].  This document does that
   for EAP-AKA'.

   This specification is an optional extension to the EAP-AKA'
   authentication method [I-D.ietf-emu-rfc5448bis].  While optional, the
   use of this extension is RECOMMENDED.

   The extension, when negotiated, provides Perfect Forward Secrecy for
   the session key generated as a part of the authentication run in EAP-
   AKA'.  This prevents an attacker who has gained access to the long-
   term pre-shared secret in a SIM card from being able to decrypt any
   past communications.  In addition, if the attacker stays merely a
   passive eavesdropper, the extension prevents attacks against future
   sessions.  This forces attackers to use active attacks instead.  This
   is beneficial, because active attacks demand much more resources to
   launch, and can generally be detected much easier.  As with other

   protocols, an active attacker with access to the long-term key
   material will of course be able to attack all future communications,
   but risks detection, particularly if done at scale.

   Attacks against AKA authentication via compromising the long-term
   secrets in the SIM cards have been an active discussion topic in many
   contexts.  Perfect forward secrecy is on the list of features for the
   next release of 3GPP (5G Phase 2), and this document provides a basis
   for providing this feature in a particular fashion.

   It should also be noted that 5G network architecture includes the use
   of the EAP framework for authentication.  While any methods can be
   run, the default authentication method within that context will be
   EAP-AKA'.  As a result, improvements in EAP-AKA' security have a
   potential to improve security for large number of users.

2.  Protocol Design and Deployment Objectives

   This extension specified here re-uses large portions of the current
   structure of 3GPP interfaces and functions, with the rationale that
   this will make the construction more easily adopted.  In particular,
   the construction maintains the interface between the Universal
   Subscriber Identification Module (USIM) and the mobile terminal
   intact.  As a consequence, there is no need to roll out new
   credentials to existing subscribers.  The work is based on an earlier
   paper [TrustCom2015], and uses much of the same material, but applied
   to EAP rather than the underlying AKA method.

   It has been a goal to implement this change as an extension of the
   widely supported EAP-AKA' method, rather than a completely new
   authentication method.  The extension is implemented as a set of new,
   optional attributes, that are provided alongside the base attributes
   in EAP-AKA'.  Old implementations can ignore these attributes, but
   their presence will nevertheless be verified as part of base EAP-AKA'
   integrity verification process, helping protect against bidding down
   attacks.  This extension does not increase the number of rounds
   necessary to complete the protocol.

   The use of this extension is at the discretion of the authenticating
   parties.  It should be noted that PFS and defenses against passive
   attacks are by no means a panacea, but they can provide a partial
   defense that increases the cost and risk associated with pervasive
   surveillance.

   While adding perfect forward secrecy to the existing mobile network
   infrastructure can be done in multiple different ways, the authors
   believe that the approach chosen here is relatively easily
   deployable.  In particular:

Internet-Draft                EAP-AKA' PFS                  October 2020


   o  As noted above, no new credentials are needed; there is no change
      to SIM cards.

   o  PFS property can be incorporated into any current or future system
      that supports EAP, without changing any network functions beyond
      the EAP endpoints.

   o  Key generation happens at the endpoints, enabling highest grade
      key material to be used both by the endpoints and the intermediate
      systems (such as access points that are given access to specific
      keys).

   o  While EAP-AKA' is just one EAP method, for practical purposes
      perfect forward secrecy being available for both EAP-TLS [RFC5216]
      [I-D.ietf-emu-eap-tls13] and EAP-AKA' ensures that for many
      practical systems perfect forward secrecy can be enabled for
      either all or significant fraction of users.

3.  Background

3.1.  AKA

   AKA is based on challenge-response mechanisms and symmetric
   cryptography.  AKA typically runs in a UMTS Subscriber Identity
   Module (USIM) or a CDMA2000 (Removable) User Identity Module
   ((R)UIM).  In contrast with its earlier GSM counterparts, AKA
   provides long key lengths and mutual authentication.

   AKA works in the following manner:

   o  The identity module and the home environment have agreed on a
      secret key beforehand.

   o  The actual authentication process starts by having the home
      environment produce an authentication vector, based on the secret
      key and a sequence number.  The authentication vector contains a
      random part RAND, an authenticator part AUTN used for
      authenticating the network to the identity module, an expected
      result part XRES, a 128-bit session key for integrity check IK,
      and a 128-bit session key for encryption CK.

   o  The authentication vector is passed to the serving network, which
      uses it to authenticate the device.

   o  The RAND and the AUTN are delivered to the identity module.

   o  The identity module verifies the AUTN, again based on the secret
      key and the sequence number.  If this process is successful (the

Internet-Draft                EAP-AKA' PFS                  October 2020


      AUTN is valid and the sequence number used to generate AUTN is
      within the correct range), the identity module produces an
      authentication result RES and sends it to the serving network.

   o  The serving network verifies the correct result from the identity
      module.  If the result is correct, IK and CK can be used to
      protect further communications between the identity module and the
      home environment.

3.2.  EAP-AKA' Protocol

   When AKA are embedded into EAP, the authentication on the network
   side is moved to the home environment; the serving network performs
   the role of a pass-through authenticator.  Figure 1 describes the
   basic flow in the EAP-AKA' authentication process.  The definition of
   the full protocol behaviour, along with the definition of attributes
   AT_RAND, AT_AUTN, AT_MAC, and AT_RES can be found in
   [I-D.ietf-emu-rfc5448bis] and [RFC4187].

3.3.  Attacks Against Long-Term Shared Secrets in Smart Cards

   Current 3GPP systems use SIM pre-shared key based protocols and
   Authentication and Key Agreement (AKA) to authenticate subscribers.
   The general security properties and potential vulnerabilities of AKA
   and EAP-AKA' are discussed in [I-D.ietf-emu-rfc5448bis].

   An important vulnerability in that discussion relates to the recent
   reports of compromised long term pre-shared keys used in AKA
   [Heist2015].  These attacks are not specific to AKA or EAP-AKA', as
   all security systems fail at least to some extent if key material is
   stolen.  However, the reports indicate a need to look into solutions
   that can operate at least to an extent under these types of attacks.
   It is noted in [Heist2015] that some security can be retained even in
   the face of the attacks by providing Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS)
   [DOW1992] for the session key.  If AKA would have provided PFS,
   compromising the pre-shared key would not be sufficient to perform
   passive attacks; the attacker is, in addition, forced to be a Man-In-
   The-Middle (MITM) during the AKA run and subsequent communication
   between the parties.

4.  Requirements Language

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP
   14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
   capitals, as shown here.

5.  Protocol Overview

   Introducing PFS for EAP-AKA' can be achieved by using an Elliptic
   Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) exchange [RFC7748].  In EAP-AKA' PFS this
   exchange is run in an ephemeral manner, i.e., both sides generate
   temporary keys as specified in [RFC7748].  This method is referred to
   as ECDHE, where the last 'E' stands for Ephemeral.

   The enhancements in the EAP-AKA' PFS protocol are compatible with the
   signaling flow and other basic structures of both AKA and EAP-AKA'.
   The intent is to implement the enhancement as optional attributes
   that legacy implementations can ignore.

   The purpose of the protocol is to achieve mutual authentication
   between the EAP server and peer, and to establish keying material for
   secure communication between the two.  This document specifies the
   calculation of key material, providing new properties that are not
   present in key material provided by EAP-AKA' in its original form.

   Figure 2 below describes the overall process.  Since our goal has
   been to not require new infrastructure or credentials, the flow
   diagrams also show the conceptual interaction with the USIM card and
   the 3GPP authentication server (HSS).  The details of those
   interactions are outside the scope of this document, however, and the
   reader is referred to the 3GPP specifications .

       |         | Server now has an identity for the peer.        |
       |         | The server then asks the help of                |
       |         | HSS to run AKA algorithms, generating RAND,     |
       |         | AUTN, XRES, CK, IK. Typically, the HSS performs |
       |         | the first part of key derivations so that the   |
       |         | authentication server gets the CK' and IK' keys |

6.  Extensions to EAP-AKA'

6.1.  AT_PUB_ECDHE

   The AT_PUB_ECDHE carries an ECDHE value.

   The format of the AT_PUB_ECDHE attribute is shown below.

       0                   1                   2                   3

      +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+


   The fields are as follows:

   AT_PUB_ECDHE

      This is set to TBA1 BY IANA.

   Length

      The length of the attribute, set as other attributes in EAP-AKA
      [RFC4187].

   Value

      This value is the sender's ECDHE public value.  It is calculated
      as follows:

      *  For X25519/Curve25519, the length of this value is 32 bytes,
         encoded in binary as specified [RFC7748] Section 6.1.

      *  For P-256, the length of this value is 33 bytes, encoded in
         binary as specified in [FIPS186-4], using the compressed form
         from Section 2.7.1 of [SEC2].

      To retain the security of the keys, the sender SHALL generate a
      fresh value for each run of the protocol.

6.2.  AT_KDF_PFS

   The AT_KDF_PFS indicates the used or desired key generation function,
   if the Perfect Forward Secrecy extension is taken into use.  It will
   also at the same time indicate the used or desired ECDHE group.  A
   new attribute is needed to carry this information, as AT_KDF carries
   the legacy KDF value for those EAP peers that cannot or do not want
   to use this extension.

   The format of the AT_KDF_PFS attribute is shown below.

       0                   1                   2                   3

      | AT_KDF_PFS    | Length        |    Key Derivation Function    |
      +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+


   The fields are as follows:

   AT_KDF_PFS

      This is set to TBA2 BY IANA.

   Length

      The length of the attribute, MUST be set to 1.

   Key Derivation Function

      An enumerated value representing the key derivation function that
      the server (or peer) wishes to use.  See Section 6.3 for the
      functions specified in this document.  Note: This field has a
      different name space than the similar field in the AT_KDF
      attribute Key Derivation Function defined in
      [I-D.ietf-emu-rfc5448bis].

   Servers MUST send one or more AT_KDF_PFS attributes in the EAP-
   Request/AKA'-Challenge message.  These attributes represent the
   desired functions ordered by preference, the most preferred function
   being the first attribute.  The most preferred function is the only
   one that the server includes a public key value for, however.  So for
   a set of AT_KDF_PFS attributes, there is always only one AT_PUB_ECDHE
   attribute.

   Upon receiving a set of these attributes:

Internet-Draft                EAP-AKA' PFS                  October 2020


   o  If the peer supports and is willing to use the key derivation
      function indicated by the first AT_KDF_PFS attribute, and is
      willing and able to use the extension defined in this
      specification, the function is taken into use without any further
      negotiation.

   o  If the peer does not support this function or is unwilling to use
      it, it responds to the server with an indication that a different
      function is needed.  Similarly with the negotiation process
      defined in [I-D.ietf-emu-rfc5448bis] for AT_KDF, the peer sends
      EAP-Response/AKA'-Challenge message that contains only one
      attribute, AT_KDF_PFS with the value set to the desired
      alternative function from among the ones suggested by the server
      earlier.  If there is no suitable alternative, the peer has a
      choice of either falling back to EAP-AKA' or behaving as if AUTN
      had been incorrect and failing authentication (see Figure 3 of
      [RFC4187]).  The peer MUST fail the authentication if there are
      any duplicate values within the list of AT_KDF_PFS attributes
      (except where the duplication is due to a request to change the
      key derivation function; see below for further information).

   o  If the peer does not recognize the extension defined in this
      specification or is unwilling to use it, it ignores the AT_KDF_PFS
      attribute.

   Upon receiving an EAP-Response/AKA'-Challenge with AT_KDF_PFS from
   the peer, the server checks that the suggested AT_KDF_PFS value was
   one of the alternatives in its offer.  The first AT_KDF_PFS value in
   the message from the server is not a valid alternative.  If the peer
   has replied with the first AT_KDF_PFS value, the server behaves as if
   AT_MAC of the response had been incorrect and fails the
   authentication.  For an overview of the failed authentication process
   in the server side, see Section 3 and Figure 2 in [RFC4187].
   Otherwise, the server re-sends the EAP-Response/AKA'-Challenge
   message, but adds the selected alternative to the beginning of the
   list of AT_KDF_PFS attributes, and retains the entire list following
   it.  Note that this means that the selected alternative appears twice
   in the set of AT_KDF values.  Responding to the peer's request to
   change the key derivation function is the only legal situation where
   such duplication may occur.

   When the peer receives the new EAP-Request/AKA'-Challenge message, it
   MUST check that the requested change, and only the requested change
   occurred in the list of AT_KDF_PFS attributes.  If yes, it continues.
   If not, it behaves as if AT_MAC had been incorrect and fails the
   authentication.  If the peer receives multiple EAP-Request/AKA'-
   Challenge messages with differing AT_KDF_PFS attributes without

   having requested negotiation, the peer MUST behave as if AT_MAC had
   been incorrect and fail the authentication.

6.3.  New Key Derivation Functions

   Two new Key Derivation Function types are defined for "EAP-AKA' with
   ECDHE and X25519", represented by value 1, and "EAP-AKA' with ECDHE
   and P-256", represented by value 2.  These represent a particular
   choice of key derivation function and at the same time selects an
   ECDHE group to be used.

   The Key Derivation Function type value is only used in the AT_KDF_PFS
   attribute, and should not be confused with the different range of key
   derivation functions that can be represented in the AT_KDF attribute
   as defined in [I-D.ietf-emu-rfc5448bis].

   Key derivation in this extension produces exactly the same keys for
   internal use within one authentication run as
   [I-D.ietf-emu-rfc5448bis] EAP-AKA' does.  For instance, K_aut that is
   used in AT_MAC is still exactly as it was in EAP-AKA'.  The only
   change to key derivation is in re-authentication keys and keys
   exported out of the EAP method, MSK and EMSK.  As a result, EAP-AKA'
   attributes such as AT_MAC continue to be usable even when this
   extension is in use.

   When the Key Derivation Function field in the AT_KDF_PFS attribute is
   set to 1 and the Key Derivation Function field in the AT_KDF
   attribute is also set to 1, the Master Key (MK) is derived as follows
   below.

          MK       = PRF'(IK'|CK',"EAP-AKA'"|Identity)
          MK_ECDHE = PRF'(IK'|CK'|SHARED_SECRET,"EAP-AKA' PFS"|Identity)
          K_encr   = MK[0..127]
          K_aut    = MK[128..383]
          K_re     = MK_ECDHE[0..255]
          MSK      = MK_ECDHE[256..767]
          EMSK     = MK_ECDHE[768..1279]

   Where SHARED_SECRET is the shared secret computed via ECDHE, as
   specified in Section 6.1 of [RFC7748].

   Both the peer and the server MAY check for zero-value shared secret
   as specified in Section 6.1 of [RFC7748].  If such checking is
   performed and the SHARED_SECRET has a zero value, both parties MUST
   behave as if the current EAP-AKA' authentication process starts again
   from the beginning.

      Note: The way that shared secret is tested for zero can, if
      performed inappropriately, provide an ability for attackers to
      listen to CPU power usage side channels.  Refer to [RFC7748] for a
      description of how to perform this check in a way that it does not
      become a problem.

   The rest of computation proceeds as defined in Section 3.3 of
   [I-D.ietf-emu-rfc5448bis].

   For readability, an explanation of the notation used above is copied
   here: [n..m] denotes the substring from bit n to m.  PRF' is a new
   pseudo-random function specified in [I-D.ietf-emu-rfc5448bis].
   K_encr is the encryption key, 128 bits, K_aut is the authentication
   key, 256 bits, K_re is the re-authentication key, 256 bits, MSK is
   the Master Session Key, 512 bits, and EMSK is the Extended Master
   Session Key, 512 bits.  MSK and EMSK are outputs from a successful
   EAP method run [RFC3748].

   CK and IK are produced by the AKA algorithm.  IK' and CK' are derived
   as specified in [I-D.ietf-emu-rfc5448bis] from IK and CK.

   The value "EAP-AKA'" is an eight-characters-long ASCII string.  It is
   used as is, without any trailing NUL characters.  Similarly, "EAP-
   AKA' PFS" is a twelve-characters-long ASCII string, also used as is.

   Identity is the peer identity as specified in Section 7 of [RFC4187].

6.4.  ECDHE Groups

   The selection of suitable groups for the elliptic curve computation
   is necessary.  The choice of a group is made at the same time as
   deciding to use of particular key derivation function in AT_KDF_PFS.

   For "EAP-AKA' with ECDHE and X25519" the group is the Curve25519
   group specified in [RFC7748].  The support for this group is
   REQUIRED.

   For "EAP-AKA' with ECDHE and P-256" the group is the NIST P-256 group
   (SEC group secp256r1), specified in [FIPS186-4].  The support for
   this group is OPTIONAL.

6.5.  Message Processing

   This section specifies the changes related to message processing when
   this extension is used in EAP-AKA'.  It specifies when a message may
   be transmitted or accepted, which attributes are allowed in a
   message, which attributes are required in a message, and other
   message-specific details, where those details are different for this

   extension than the base EAP-AKA' or EAP-AKA protocol.  Unless
   otherwise specified here, the rules from [I-D.ietf-emu-rfc5448bis] or
   [RFC4187] apply.

6.5.1.  EAP-Request/AKA'-Identity

   No changes, except that the AT_KDF_PFS or AT_PUB_ECDHE attributes
   MUST NOT be added to this message.  The appearance of these messages
   in a received message MUST be ignored.

6.5.2.  EAP-Response/AKA'-Identity

   No changes, except that the AT_KDF_PFS or AT_PUB_ECDHE attributes
   MUST NOT be added to this message.  The appearance of these messages
   in a received message MUST be ignored.

6.5.3.  EAP-Request/AKA'-Challenge

   The server sends the EAP-Request/AKA'-Challenge on full
   authentication as specified by [RFC4187] and
   [I-D.ietf-emu-rfc5448bis].  The attributes AT_RAND, AT_AUTN, and
   AT_MAC MUST be included and checked on reception as specified in
   [RFC4187].  They are also necessary for backwards compatibility.

   In EAP-Request/AKA'-Challenge, there is no message-specific data
   covered by the MAC for the AT_MAC attribute.  The AT_KDF_PFS and
   AT_PUB_ECDHE attributes MUST be included.  The AT_PUB_ECDHE attribute
   carries the server's public Diffie-Hellman key.  If either AT_KDF_PFS
   or AT_PUB_ECDHE is missing on reception, the peer MUST treat them as
   if neither one was sent, and the assume that the extension defined in
   this specification is not in use.

   The AT_RESULT_IND, AT_CHECKCODE, AT_IV, AT_ENCR_DATA, AT_PADDING,
   AT_NEXT_PSEUDONYM, AT_NEXT_REAUTH_ID and other attributes may be
   included as specified in Section 9.3 of [RFC4187].

   When processing this message, the peer MUST process AT_RAND, AT_AUTN,
   AT_KDF_PFS, AT_PUB_ECDHE before processing other attributes.  Only if
   these attributes are verified to be valid, the peer derives keys and
   verifies AT_MAC.  If the peer is unable or unwilling to perform the

   occurs is specified in Section 6.3.1. of [RFC4187].

Internet-Draft                EAP-AKA' PFS                  October 2020


6.5.4.  EAP-Response/AKA'-Challenge

   The peer sends EAP-Response/AKA'-Challenge in response to a valid
   EAP-Request/AKA'-Challenge message, as specified by [RFC4187] and
   [I-D.ietf-emu-rfc5448bis].  If the peer supports and is willing to
   perform the extension specified in this protocol, and the server had
   made a valid request involving the attributes specified in
   Section 6.5.3, the peer responds per the rules specified below.
   Otherwise, the peer responds as specified in [RFC4187] and
   [I-D.ietf-emu-rfc5448bis] and ignores the attributes related to this
   extension.  If the peer has not received attributes related to this
   extension from the Server, and has a policy that requires it to
   always use this extension, it behaves as if AUTN had been incorrect
   and fails the authentication.

   The AT_MAC attribute MUST be included and checked as specified in
   [I-D.ietf-emu-rfc5448bis].  In EAP-Response/AKA'-Challenge, there is
   no message-specific data covered by the MAC.  The AT_PUB_ECDHE
   attribute MUST be included, and carries the peer's public Diffie-
   Hellman key.

   The AT_RES attribute MUST be included and checked as specified in
   [RFC4187].  When processing this message, the Server MUST process
   AT_RES before processing other attributes.  Only if these attribute
   is verified to be valid, the Server derives keys and verifies AT_MAC.

   If the Server has proposed the use of the extension specified in this
   protocol, but the peer ignores and continues the basic EAP-AKA'
   authentication, the Server makes policy decision of whether this is
   allowed.  If this is allowed, it continues the EAP-AKA'
   authentication to completion.  If it is not allowed, the Server MUST
   behave as if authentication failed.

   The AT_CHECKCODE, AT_RESULT_IND, AT_IV, AT_ENCR_DATA and other
   attributes may be included as specified in Section 9.4 of [RFC4187].

6.5.5.  EAP-Request/AKA'-Reauthentication

   No changes, but note that the re-authentication process uses the keys
   generated in the original EAP-AKA' authentication, which, if the
   extension specified in this documents is in use, employs key material
   from the Diffie-Hellman procedure.

6.5.6.  EAP-Response/AKA'-Reauthentication

   No changes, but as discussed in Section 6.5.5, re-authentication is
   based on the key material generated by EAP-AKA' and the extension
   defined in this document.

6.5.7.  EAP-Response/AKA'-Synchronization-Failure

   No changes, except that the AT_KDF_PFS or AT_PUB_ECDHE attributes
   MUST NOT be added to this message.  The appearance of these messages
   in a received message MUST be ignored.

6.5.8.  EAP-Response/AKA'-Authentication-Reject

   No changes, except that the AT_KDF_PFS or AT_PUB_ECDHE attributes
   MUST NOT be added to this message.  The appearance of these messages
   in a received message MUST be ignored.

6.5.9.  EAP-Response/AKA'-Client-Error

   No changes, except that the AT_KDF_PFS or AT_PUB_ECDHE attributes
   MUST NOT be added to this message.  The appearance of these messages
   in a received message MUST be ignored.

6.5.10.  EAP-Request/AKA'-Notification

   No changes.

6.5.11.  EAP-Response/AKA'-Notification

   No changes.

7.  Security Considerations

   This section deals only with the changes to security considerations
   as they differ from EAP-AKA', or as new information has been gathered
   since the publication of [I-D.ietf-emu-rfc5448bis].

   The possibility of attacks against key storage offered in SIM or
   other smart cards has been a known threat.  But as the discussion in
   Section 3.3 shows, the likelihood of practically feasible attacks has
   increased.  Many of these attacks can be best dealt with improved
   processes, e.g., limiting the access to the key material within the
   factory or personnel, etc.  But not all attacks can be entirely ruled
   out for well-resourced adversaries, irrespective of what the
   technical algorithms and protection measures are.

   This extension can provide assistance in situations where there is a
   danger of attacks against the key material on SIM cards by
   adversaries that can not or who are unwilling to mount active attacks
   against large number of sessions.  This extension is most useful when
   used in a context where EAP keys are used without further mixing that
   can provide Perfect Forward Secrecy.  For instance, when used with
   IKEv2 [RFC7296], the session keys produced by IKEv2 have this



Arkko, et al.              Expires May 3, 2021                 [Page 18]


Internet-Draft                EAP-AKA' PFS                  October 2020


   property, so better characteristics of EAP keys is not that useful.
   However, typical link layer usage of EAP does not involve running
   Diffie-Hellman, so using EAP to authenticate access to a network is
   one situation where the extension defined in this document can be
   helpful.

   This extension generates keying material using the ECDHE exchange in
   order to gain the PFS property.  This means that once an EAP-AKA'
   authentication run ends, the session that it was used to protect is
   closed, and the corresponding keys are forgotten, even someone who
   has recorded all of the data from the authentication run and session
   and gets access to all of the AKA long-term keys cannot reconstruct
   the keys used to protect the session or any previous session, without
   doing a brute force search of the session key space.

   Even if a compromise of the long-term keys has occurred, PFS is still
   provided for all future sessions, as long as the attacker does not
   become an active attacker.  Of course, as with other protocols, if
   the attacker has learned the keys and does become an active attacker,
   there is no protection that that can be provided for future sessions.
   Among other things, such an active attacker can impersonate any
   legitimate endpoint in EAP-AKA', become a MITM in EAP-AKA' or the
   extension defined in this document, retrieve all keys, or turn off
   PFS.  Still, past sessions where PFS was in use remain protected.

   Achieving PFS requires that when a connection is closed, each
   endpoint MUST forget not only the ephemeral keys used by the
   connection but also any information that could be used to recompute
   those keys.

   The following security properties of EAP-AKA' are impacted through
   this extension:

   Protected ciphersuite negotiation

      EAP-AKA' has a negotiation mechanism for selecting the key
      derivation functions, and this mechanism has been extended by the
      extension specified in this document.  The resulting mechanism
      continues to be secure against bidding down attacks.

      There are two specific needs in the negotiation mechanism:

      Negotiating key derivation function within the extension

         The negotiation mechanism allows changing the offered key
         derivation function, but the change is visible in the final
         EAP- Request/AKA'-Challenge message that the server sends to
         the peer.  This message is authenticated via the AT_MAC



Arkko, et al.              Expires May 3, 2021                 [Page 19]


Internet-Draft                EAP-AKA' PFS                  October 2020


         attribute, and carries both the chosen alternative and the
         initially offered list.  The peer refuses to accept a change it
         did not initiate.  As a result, both parties are aware that a
         change is being made and what the original offer was.

      Negotiating the use of this extension

         This extension is offered by the server through presenting the
         AT_KDF_PFS and AT_PUB_ECDHE attributes in the EAP-Request/AKA'-
         Challenge message.  These attributes are protected by AT_MAC,
         so attempts to change or omit them by an adversary will be
         detected.

         Except of course, if the adversary holds the long-term shared
         secret and is willing to engage in an active attack.  Such an
         attack can, for instance, forge the negotiation process so that
         no PFS will be provided.  However, as noted above, an attacker
         with these capabilities will in any case be able to impersonate
         any party in the protocol and perform MITM attacks.  That is
         not a situation that can be improved by a technical solution.
         However, as discussed in the introduction, even an attacker
         with access to the long-term keys is required to be a MITM on
         each AKA run and subsequent communication, which makes mass
         surveillance more laborous.

         The security properties of the extension also depend on a
         policy choice.  As discussed in Section 6.5.4, both the peer
         and the server make a policy decision of what to do when it was
         willing to peform the extension specified in this protocol, but
         the other side does not wish to use the extension.  Allowing
         this has the benefit of allowing backwards compatibility to
         equipment that did not yet support the extension.  When the
         extension is not supported or negotiated by the parties, no PFS
         can obviously provided.

         If turning off the extension specified in this protocol is not
         allowed by policy, the use of legacy equipment that does not
         support this protocol is no longer possible.  This may be
         appropriate when, for instance, support for the extension is
         sufficiently widespread, or required in a particular version of
         a mobile network.

   Key derivation

      This extension provides key material that is based on the Diffie-
      Hellman keys, yet bound to the authentication through the SIM
      card.  This means that subsequent payload communications between
      the parties are protected with keys that are not solely based on



Arkko, et al.              Expires May 3, 2021                 [Page 20]


Internet-Draft                EAP-AKA' PFS                  October 2020


      information in the clear (such as the RAND) and information
      derivable from the long-term shared secrets on the SIM card.  As a
      result, if anyone successfully recovers shared secret information,
      they are unable to decrypt communications protected by the keys
      generated through this extension.  Note that the recovery of
      shared secret information could occur either before or after the
      time that the protected communications are used.  When this
      extension is used, communications at time t0 can be protected if
      at some later time t1 an adversary learns of long-term shared
      secret and has access to a recording of the encrypted
      communications.

      Obviously, this extension is still vulnerable to attackers that
      are willing to perform an active attack and who at the time of the
      attack have access to the long-term shared secret.

      This extension does not change the properties related to re-
      authentication.  No new Diffie-Hellman run is performed during the
      re-authentication allowed by EAP-AKA'.  However, if this extension
      was in use when the original EAP-AKA' authentication was
      performed, the keys used for re-authentication (K_re) are based on
      the Diffie-Hellman keys, and hence continue to be equally safe
      against expose of the long-term secrets as the original
      authentication.

   In addition, it is worthwhile to discuss Denial-of-Service attacks
   and their impact on this protocol.  The calculations involved in
   public key cryptography require computing power, which could be used
   in an attack to overpower either the peer or the server.  While some
   forms of Denial-of-Service attacks are always possible, the following
   factors help mitigate the concerns relating to public key
   cryptography and EAP-AKA' PFS.

   o  In 5G context, other parts of the connection setup involve public
      key cryptography, so while performing additional operations in
      EAP-AKA' is an additional concern, it does not change the overall
      situation.  As a result, the relevant system components need to be
      dimensioned appropriately, and detection and management mechanisms
      to reduce the effect of attacks need to be in place.

   o  This specification is constructed so that a separation between the
      USIM and Peer on client side and the Server and HSS on network
      side is possible.  This ensures that the most sensitive (or
      legacy) system components can not be the target of the attack.
      For instance, EAP-AKA' and public key cryptography takes place in
      the phone and not the low-power SIM card.





Arkko, et al.              Expires May 3, 2021                 [Page 21]


Internet-Draft                EAP-AKA' PFS                  October 2020


   o  EAP-AKA' has been designed so that the first actual message in the
      authentication process comes from the Server, and that this
      message will not be sent unless the user has been identified as an
      active subscriber of the operator in question.  While the initial
      identity can be spoofed before authentication has succeeded, this
      reduces the efficiency of an attack.

   o  Finally, this memo specifies an order in which computations and
      checks must occur.  When processing the EAP-Request/AKA'-Challenge
      message, for instance, the AKA authentication must be checked and
      succeed before the peer proceeds to calculating or processing the
      PFS related parameters (see Section 6.5.4).  The same is true of
      EAP-Response/AKA'-Challenge (see Section 6.5.4).  This ensures
      that the parties need to show possession of the long-term secret
      in some way, and only then will the PFS calculations become
      active.  This limits the Denial-of-Service to specific, identified
      subscribers.  While botnets and other forms of malicious parties
      could take advantage of actual subscribers and their key material,
      at least such attacks are (a) limited in terms of subscribers they
      control, and (b) identifiable for the purposes of blocking the
      affected subscribers.

8.  IANA Considerations

   This extension of EAP-AKA' shares its attribute space and subtypes
   with EAP-SIM [RFC4186], EAP-AKA [RFC4186], and EAP-AKA'
   [I-D.ietf-emu-rfc5448bis].

   Two new Attribute Type value (TBA1, TBA2) in the skippable range need
   to be assigned for AT_PUB_ECDHE (Section 6.1) and AT_KDF_PFS
   (Section 6.2 in the EAP-AKA and EAP-SIM Parameters registry under
   Attribute Types.

   Also, a new registry should be created to represent Diffie-Hellman
   Key Derivation Function types.  The "EAP-AKA' with ECDHE and X25519"
   and "EAP-AKA' with ECDHE and P-256" types (1 and 2, see Section 6.3)
   need to be assigned, along with one reserved value.  The initial
   contents of this namespace are therefore as below; new values can be
   created through the Specification Required policy [RFC8126].

Appendix A.  Change Log

   The -05 version of the WG draft takes into account feedback from the
   working group list, about the number of bytes needed to encode P-256
   values.

   The -04 version of the WG draft takes into account feedback from the
   May 2020 WG interim meeting, correcting the reference to the NIST
   P-256 specification.

   The -03 version of the WG draft is first of all a refresh; there are
   no issues that we think need addressing, beyond the one for which
   there is a suggestion in -03: The specification now suggests an
   alternate group/curve as an optional one besides X25519.  The
   specific choice of particular groups and algorithms is still up to
   the working group.

   The -02 version of the WG draft took into account additional reviews,
   and changed the document to update RFC 5448 (or rather, its
   successor, [I-D.ietf-emu-rfc5448bis]), changed the wording of the
   recommendation with regards to the use of this extension, clarified
   the references to the definition of X25519 and Curve25519, clarified
   the distinction to ECDH methods that use partially static keys, and
   simplified the use of AKA and SIM card terminology.  Some editorial
   changes were also made.

   The -00 and -01 versions of the WG draft made no major changes, only
   updates to some references.

   The -05 version is merely a refresh while the draft was waiting for
   WG adoption.

   The -04 version of this draft made only editorial changes.

   The -03 version of this draft changed the naming of various protocol
   components, values, and notation to match with the use of ECDH in
   ephemeral mode.  The AT_KDF_PFS negotiation process was clarified in
   that exactly one key is ever sent in AT_KDF_ECDHE.  The option of
   checking for zero key values IN ECDHE was added.  The format of the
   actual key in AT_PUB_ECDHE was specified.  Denial-of-service
   considerations for the PFS process have been updated.  Bidding down
   attacks against this extension itself are discussed extensively.
   This version also addressed comments from reviewers, including the
   August review from Mohit Sethi, and comments made during IETF-102
   discussion.
