Outline • Challenges in key distribution, trust bootstrapping • Pre-setup keys (point-to-point, public) • Resurrected ducking • PGP trust graph • Trusted third party (TTP) • Kerberos, SPINS • PKI • Key infection • Random-key predistribution
Key Management • Goal: set up and maintain secure keys • Public keys for signature verification or node-to-node key setup • Shared keys for confidentiality or authenticity • Group keys for secure group communication • Challenges • Trust establishment (Class example?) • Node compromise • Dynamic node addition/removal
Network Architectures • Closed networks, centralized deployment (trusted authority controls and deploys nodes) • All-pairs shared keys, or all public keys • PKI, TTP (Kerberos, SPINS) • Zhou & Haas threshold key management • Randomkey predistribution • Open networks, autonomous deployment • Resurrected duckling • PGP web of trust • Key infection
Full Key Deployment • Symmetric case • All-pairs shared keys (need O(n2) keys) • Challenge: node addition • Asymmetric case • Distribute every node’s public key (n keys) • Nodes can easily set up secure shared keys
Trusted Key Management Center • Symmetric case • Trusted third party (TTP) shares key with each node (n keys) • Set up key between two nodes through TTP • Kerberos, SPINS key agreement protocol • Asymmetric case • Public-key infrastructure (PKI) • Certification authority (CA) signs public keys of nodes • All nodes know CA’s public key
Zhou & Haas Key Management • PKI drawbacks • Revocation requires on-line PKI • Single point of failure, CA replication increases vulnerability to node compromise • Distributed CA Model, tolerates t faulty nodes • Threshold signatures • Signing needs coalition of t+1 correct nodes • Secret sharing prevents t malicious nodes from reconstructing CA private key • Proactive security • Defend against mobile adversary
Discussion • How can share refreshing tolerate faulty nodes? • How can we tolerate compromised combiner? • Who decides to be a combiner? • How can we bootstrap this system? • How can we introduce a new node? • Why should node sign a message? • How does node authenticate message? • Is signature combination expensive if we have t faulty nodes? • How efficient are these mechanisms?
Randomkey Predistribution • Scenario: deploy 104 mote sensor from airplane • Goal: set up secure node-to-node keys • Simple approaches impractical • Network-wide secret key • Pairwise shared key with every other node • Pairwise shared key with neighbors • Public key infrastructure
Basic Random Key Scheme • Eschenauer and Gligor, ACM CCS 2002 • Observation: no need for all pairs of nodes to be able to communicate to get a connected network • For any 2 nodes, if they can communicate with some probability p, then the network is a random graph that is connected with high probability (e.g. 0.999) • p is a given parameter, dictated by communication range and density of deployment of the nodes
Randomly choose |P| keys Key ring of node A Pick |P| s.t probability of any 2 nodes sharing at least 1 key = p Key Pool P Randomly choose m keys Key ring of node B Basic Random Key Scheme 2128 Total Key Space
Key capture • Security of the basic scheme is dependent on the adversary not knowing the key pool P • Suppose adversary can compromise sensor nodes and read the keys off their key rings • E.g., adversary captures node X and discovers key k. If node A and B were communicating using key k, the adversary can now eavesdrop although neither A or B was compromised. • How can we improve resilience to node capture?
q-Composite Keys scheme • Require any 2 nodes to share at least q keys to communicate • Adversary must discover all q keys to eavesdrop • To maintain probability of communication between any 2 nodes = p, must reduce size of key pool (samples from a smaller pool are more likely to overlap) • Smaller key pool keys are more likely to be reused
Duckling Key Establishment • Anderson and Stajano, IWSP ‘99 • Problem: how can we set up keys in a ubiquitous computing environment? • Devices use wireless communication • How to set up a key between household devices and PDA? • Solution: set up keys using trusted communication channel • Physical contact establishes a secure channel
Duckling Security Model 1 • Assumes wireless communication • Goals • Availability • Guard against jamming and battery exhaustion • “Sleep deprivation torture attack” • Secure transient association with device • Even in absence of a trusted server • Security assiciations keep changing, as devices change owners, or owner changes controller
Duckling Security Model 2 • Life cycle “similarities” • Life cycle of a device • Buy device in store • Unpack it at home • Device breaks or gets a new owner • Life cycle of a duckling • Duckling is in egg • When duckling hatches, first object is viewed as mother: imprinting • Duckling dies • Device ownership similar to duck’s soul
Duckling Security Model 3 • Device life cycle • Imprinting: device meets master when it wakes up • Reverse metempsychosis: device dies and gets new owner • Escrowed seppuku: manufacturer can kill device to enable renewed imprinting • Physical contact establishes secure key during imprinting phase
PGP Web of Trust • Problem: how can we establish shared keys in ad hoc network without trusted PKI? • Approach: use PGP web of trust approach • Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Srđan Čapkun and Levente Buttyán: The Quest for Security in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks, MobiHoc 2001
Distributed storage of local certificates • Nodes issue certificates (sign others’ keys), as in PGP • Each node stores thecertificates that it issued (out-bound certificates)and the certificates that other nodes issued for it (in-bound certificates) v u
Creating the subgraphs • Each node builds up its own out-bound and in-bound subgraphs • To establish secure communication, u and v merge their subgraphs and see if they intersect v u
Key Infection • Ross Anderson and Adrian Perrig, 2001 • Goal: Light-weight key setup among neighbors • Assumptions: • Attacker nodes have same capability as good nodes • Attacker nodes less dense than good nodes • Attacker compromises small fraction of good nodes • Basic key agreement protocol • A * : A, KA • B A : { A, B, KB }KA • KAB = H( A | B | KA | KB )
Key Infection • Broadcast keys with maximum signal strength M1 M4 M3 B A M2
Key Whispering Extension • Broadcast keys with minimum signal strength to reach neighbor M1 M4 M3 B A M2
Secrecy Amplification • A & B share KAB, A & C share KAC, , etc. • Strengthen secrecy of K’AB • A C : { B, A, NA }KAC • C B : { B, A, NA }KCB • B D : { A, B, NB }KBD • D E : { A, B, NB }KDE • E A : { A, B, NB }KAE • K’AB = H( KAB| NA | NB ) C B A E D
Key Infection Summary • Highly efficient • Detailed analysis in progress • Preliminary simulation results: • Nodes uniformly distributed over a plane • D (density): average # of nodes within radio range • # of attacker nodes = 1% of good nodes • Table shows fraction of compromised links
Discussion • Tradeoff • Trust perimeter and security? • Security and management?
