  1. OTP Methods for TLS TLS Working Group IETF, Montreal July 2006 WORKING DRAFT: 6 July 2006

  2. Background • Original draft in One-Time Password Specification (OTPS) series, now draft-linn-otp-tls-00 • Goal: Enable use of One-Time Passwords in TLS by layering on TLS-PSK • Support multiple OTP methods, using OTP-derived PSKs • Methods must enable peers to generate matching OTP values independently (e.g., not RFC-2289 / S-KEY) • Approach applies ciphersuites defined in RFC 4279 and TLS extensions defined in RFC 3546

  3. Proposed Approach • TLS extensions not required if challenge is not needed and hardening is unnecessary or implicit • In ClientHello, client may use new TLS extensions to: • Request challenge data, if needed for OTP method • Suggest OTP hardening parameters • In ServerHello, server may use new TLS extensions to: • Provide challenge data (if asked for) • Determine hardening parameters (if suggested)

  4. From OTP to PSK (I) • PSK = PBKDF2 (OTP, RS || RC , iterationCount, keyLen) Where: • PBKDF2 defined in PKCS#5 (RFC 2898) • OTP is the current one-time password, • RS is the server_random value from the Server Hello • RC is the client_random value from the Client Hello • iterationCount is the iteration_count value from the otp_hardening extension • keyLen shall be set to 16 (128 bits).

  5. From OTP to PSK (II) • Three choices for key exchange scheme • Direct PSK: Likely requires OTP hardening • Ephemeral D-H: Likely requires OTP hardening too, if MITM is a concern • RSA: No need for OTP hardening, but requires PKI

  6. The Challenge_Data extension struct { ChallengeDataType challenge_data_type; select (ChallengeDataType) { case request: ChallengeRequestData; case response: ChallengeResponseData; } challenge_data; } ChallengeData; struct { opaque otp_algorithm<0..2^16-1>; opaque otp_user_id<0..2^16-1>; opaque otp_key_id<0..2^16-1>; } ChallengeRequestData; struct { opaque otp_challenge<1..2^16-1>; } ChallengeResponseData;

  7. The OTP_Hardening extension struct { uint16 iteration_count; } OTPHardeningData;

  8. Proposed Use of PSK_Identity • ClientKeyExchange psk_identity identifies user and/or key • Indicates use of OTP-based PSK, with method identified explicitly or implicitly • May also carry current counter value or time, depending on OTP method • Examples: • UI=J. R. User, T=20051222114204, OM= • KI=142857, C=285714, OM=OTP-Counter

  9. Proposed New Error Alerts • Unsupported_otp_algorithm • Otp_key_lost • Otp_key_expired • Otp_key_blocked • Otp_key_unknown • Pin_change_required

  10. Next Steps • Solicit continuing WG discussion on approach • Technical issues: • Layering as RFC-4279 profile vs. parallel TLS key exchange algorithm • PSK_Identity conventions, possible new extension to identify OTP usage and negotiate OTP algorithm • Use of alerts • Consider for Informational or standards-track RFC?
