This proposal introduces four new ciphersuites for TLS, using the SIV mode of authenticated encryption with RSA and Diffie-Hellman key exchange. SIV is resistant to nonce misuse and is suitable for applications where nonce management is outside the cryptographic engine.

RSA-AES-SIV TLS Ciphersuites Dan Harkins
RSA-AES-SIV Ciphersuites • What is being proposed? • New ciphersuites for TLS using SIV mode of authenticated encryption. • RSA key exchange and Diffie-Hellman key exchange both with RSA authentication and SIV using two different key sizes Four new ciphersuites. • Draft modeled closely on draft-ietf-tls-rsa-aes-gcm but minus some of the verbage on nonce management.
RSA-AES-SIV Ciphersuites • Why is it being proposed? • Unlike other authenticated encryption modes SIV is resistant to nonce misuse. • Uniquely suited when nonce management is outside the cryptographic engine– e.g. when applications receive TLS services via an API to a library. • For control-plane (versus data plane) applications where a two-pass mode is not onerous and where resistance to unintentional programming errors, misconfiguration, and intentional misuse are needed, e.g. CAPWAP’s control channel.
What is SIV? • An Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data (AEAD) cipher mode. • Uses AES in CTR mode and CMAC mode. • PRF construction takes a vector of associated data (plus plaintext), a component in that vector is the nonce. • If a nonce is reused authenticity is retained and confidentiality is affected only to the extent that an adversary knows the same nonce was used with the same plaintext and key twice. • Provable security!
