  1. The Cryptographic Token Key Initialization Protocol (CT-KIP) KEYPROV BOF IETF-67 San Diego November 2006 Andrea Doherty

  2. CT-KIP Primer • A client-server protocol for initialization and configuration of cryptographic tokens with shared keys • Intended for general use within computer and communications systems employing connected cryptographic tokens • Objectives are to provide a: • Secure and interoperable method of initializing cryptographic tokens with secret keys • Solution that is easy to administer and scales well • Solution which does not require private-key capabilities in tokens, nor the existence of a public-key infrastructure

  3. Current Status • IESG approved Version 1.0 for publication as RFC • Describes a 4-pass protocol for the initialization of cryptographic tokens with secret keys. Includes a public-key variant as well as a shared-key variant. • In December 2005 it was published as OTPS doc, then re-published as IETF I-D, which is now draft-nystrom-ct-kip-02 • Implementations exist and in production • 3rd draft of 1-, 2-pass variant also published as IETF I-D: • draft-nyström-ct-kip-two-pass-01.txt • Relatively stable and broad review solicited • CT-KIP SOAP binding recently published as IETF I-D: • draft-doherty-ct-kip-ws-00.txt • First draft; revision is coming • Implementations exist and in production

  4. Client Hello (2, 4-pass) Server Hello (4-pass) Client Nonce (4-pass) Server Finished (1, 2, 4-pass) CT-KIP 1, 2, 4-pass Comparison CT-KIP server CT-KIP client Smart Device

  5. CT-KIP 1- and 2-pass • New variants introduced to meet the needs of deployment scenarios with constraints, e.g., • No direct communication possible between cryptographic token and CT-KIP server • Network latency • Design limited to existing seeds from legacy systems • 1-, 2-pass CT-KIP are essentially a transport of key material from CT-KIP server to CT-KIP client • These variants maintain the property that no other entity than the token and the server will have access to generated / distributed keys

  6. CT-KIP ClientHello Extension

  7. CT-KIP ServerFinished Extension • New extension in ServerFinished is used by CT-KIP server to transfer key to CT-KIP client • Key material is wrapped in token’s public key or symmetric key • Token’s public key may have been included in payload of ClientHello • Symmetric key may be a shared secret • Symmetric key may be derived from a passphrase • Extension is applicable to both 1-pass and 2-pass variants of CT-KIP • Extension could easily be added to support PSKC defined in draft-vassilev-portable-symmetric-key-container-01.txt

  8. CT-KIP 1- and 2-pass Profiles

  9. Cryptographic properties (all variants) • Key confirmation • In all variants via MAC on exchanged data (and counter in 1-pass) • Replay protection • In 2- and 4-pass through inclusion of client-provided data in MAC • Suggested method for 1-pass based on counter • Server authentication • In all variants through MAC in ServerFinished message when replacing existing key • Protection against MITM • In all variants through use of shared keys, client certificates, or server public key usage • User authentication • Enabled in all variants through trigger message • Alternative methods rely on draft-doherty-ct-kip-ws-00 • Device authentication • In all variants if based on shared secret key • In 2-pass if device sends a certificate • Alternative methods rely on draft-doherty-ct-kip-ws-00

  10. Bindings (all variants) • SOAP Binding • Present in all variants • Web service interface is defined in draft-doherty-ct-kip-ws-00 • HTTP Binding • Present in all variants • Examples provided • Security Binding • Transport level encryption (e.g., TLS) is not required for seed protection in all variants • TLS/SSL is required if other parameters/attributes must be protected in transit

  11. Next steps • Broader review of IETF Internet Drafts • Suggest use of CT-KIP as the basis for a KEYPROV spec • Rationale: Implementation experience and maturity
