  1. The IKE (Internet Key Exchange) Protocol Sheila Frankel Systems and Network Security Group NIST sheila.frankel@nist.gov

  2. IKE Overview • Negotiate: • Communication Parameters • Security Features • Authenticate Communicating Peer • Protect Identity • Generate, Exchange, and Establish Keys in a Secure Manner • Manage and Delete Security Associations

  3. IKE Overview (continued) • Threat Mitigation • Denial of Service • Replay • Man in Middle • Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) • Usable by IPsec and other domains

  4. IKE Overview (continued) • Components: • Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol (ISAKMP) RFC 2408 • Internet Key Exchange (IKE) <draft-ietf-ipsec-ike-01.txt> • Oakley Key Determination Protocol RFC 2412 • IPSec Domain of Interpretation (IPsec DOI) RFC 2407

  5. Constructs Underlying IKE • Security Association (SA) • Security Association Database (SAD) • Security Parameter Index (SPI)

  6. IKE Negotiations - Phase 1 • Purpose: • Establish ISAKMP SA (“Secure Channel”) • Steps (4-6 messages exchanged): • Negotiate Security Parameters • Diffie-Hellman Exchange • Authenticate Identities • Main Mode vs. Aggressive Mode vs. Base Mode

  7. Phase 1 Attributes • Authentication Method • Pre-shared key • Digital signatures (DSS or RSA) • Public key encryption (RSA or El-Gamal) • Group Description (pre-defined) • Group Type (negotiated) • MODP (modular exponentiation group) • ECP (elliptic curve group over GF[P]) • EC2N (elliptic curve group over GF[2^N])

  8. Phase 1 Attributes (continued) • MODP Group Characteristics • Prime • Generator • EC2N Group Characteristics • Field Size • Irreducible Polynomial • Generators (One and Two) • Curves (A and B) • Order

  9. Phase 1 Attributes (continued) • Encryption algorithm • Key Length • Block size • Hash algorithm • Life duration (seconds and/or kilobytes)

  10. IKE’s Pre-Defined Groups • MODP • Prime: 768-bit, 1024-bit, 1536-bit • Generator: 2 • EC2N • GF[2^155], GF[2^185] • GF[2^163] (2 groups), GF[2^283] (2 groups)

  15. Key Derivation • SKEYID • Pre-shared keys: HMAC_H(pre-shared-key, Ni_b | Nr_b • Digital signatures: HMAC_H(H(Ni_b | Nr_b), g^ir) • Public key encryption: HMAC_H(H(Ni_b | Nr_b), CKY-I | CKY-R)

  16. Key Derivation(continued) • SKEYID_d (used to derive keying material for IPsec SA): HMAC_H(SKEYID, g^ir | CKY-I | CKY-R | 0) • SKEYID_a (auth key for ISAKMP SA): HMAC_H(SKEYID, SKEYID_a|g^ir|CKY-I|CKY-R|1) • SKEYID_e (enc key for ISAKMP SA): HMAC_H(SKEYID, SKEYID_a|g^ir|CKY-I|CKY-R|2)

  17. Hash Calculations • HASH_I: HMAC_H(SKEYID, g^i | g^r | CKY-I | CKY-R | Sai_b | ID_i1_b) • HASH_R: HMAC_H(SKEYID, g^r | g^i | CKY-R | CKY-I | Sai_b | ID_r1_b)

  18. IKE Negotiations - Phase 2 • Purpose: • Establish IPsec SA • Steps (3-4 messages exchanged): • Negotiate Security Parameters • Optional Diffie-Hellman Exchange (for PFS) • Optional Exchange of Identities • Final Verification • Quick Mode • New Groups Mode

  19. Phase 2 Attributes • Group description (for PFS) • Encryption algorithm (if any) • Key length • Key rounds • Authentication algorithm (if any) • Life duration (seconds and/or kilobytes) • Encapsulation mode (transport or tunnel)
