1. Abstract

   The Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol
   (ISAKMP) defines a framework for security association management and
   cryptographic key establishment for the Internet.  This framework
   consists of defined exchanges and processing guidelines that occur
   within a given Domain of Interpretation (DOI).  This document details
   the Internet IP Security DOI, which is defined to cover the IP
   security protocols that use ISAKMP to negotiate their security
   associations.

   For a description of how the IPSEC DOI fits into the overall IP
   Security Documentation framework, please see [ROADMAP].

   For a list of changes since the previous version of the IPSEC DOI,
   please see Section 5.

2. Introduction

   Within ISAKMP, a Domain of Interpretation is used to group related
   protocols using ISAKMP to negotiate security associations.  Security
   protocols sharing a DOI choose security protocol and cryptographic
   transforms from a common namespace and share key exchange protocol

   identifiers.  They also share a common interpretation of DOI-specific
   payload data content, including the Security Association and
   Identification payloads.

   Overall, ISAKMP places the following requirements on a DOI
   definition:

     o  define the naming scheme for DOI-specific protocol identifiers
     o  define the interpretation for the Situation field
     o  define the set of applicable security policies
     o  define the syntax for DOI-specific SA Attributes (phase II)
     o  define the syntax for DOI-specific payload contents
     o  define additional mappings or Key Exchange types, if needed
     o  define additional Notification Message types, if needed

   The remainder of this document details the instantiation of these
   requirements for using the IP Security (IPSEC) protocols to provide
   data origin authentication
   authentication, integrity, and/or data confidentiality for IP packets sent
   between cooperating host systems and/or firewalls.

INTERNET DRAFT                 IPSEC DOI               February 28,              September 19, 1997


4.1 IPSEC Naming Scheme

   Within ISAKMP, all DOI's must be registered with the IANA in the
   ``Assigned Numbers'' RFC [STD-2].  The IANA Assigned Number for the
   Internet IP Security DOI is one (1).  Within the IPSEC DOI, all
   well-known identifiers MUST be registered with the IANA under the
   Internet IP Security DOI.  Unless otherwise noted, all tables within
   this document refer to IANA Assigned Numbers for the IPSEC DOI.

   All multi-octet binary values are stored in network byte order.

4.2 IPSEC Situation Definition

   Within ISAKMP, the Situation provides information that can be used by
   the responder to make a policy determination about how to process the
   incoming Security Association request.  For the IPSEC DOI, the
   Situation field is a four (4) octet bitmask with the following
   values.

       Situation                   Value
       ---------                   -----
       SIT_IDENTITY_ONLY           0x01
       SIT_SECRECY                 0x02
       SIT_INTEGRITY               0x04

   All other values are reserved to IANA.

4.2.1 SIT_IDENTITY_ONLY

   The SIT_IDENTITY_ONLY type specifies that the security association
   will be identified by source identity information present in an
   associated Identification Payload.  See Section 4.6.2 for a complete
   description of the various Identification types.  All IPSEC DOI
   implementations MUST support SIT_IDENTITY_ONLY by including an
   Identification Payload in at least one of the phase I Oakley
   exchanges ([IO], Section 5) and MUST abort any association setup that
   does not include an Identification Payload.

   If an initiator supports neither SIT_SECRECY nor SIT_INTEGRITY, the
   situation consists only of the 4 octet situation bitmap and does not
   include the Labeled Domain Identifier field (Figure 1, Section 4.6.1)
   or any subsequent label information.  Conversely, if the initiator
   supports either SIT_SECRECY or SIT_INTEGRITY, the Labeled Domain
   Identifier MUST be included in the situation payload.

4.2.2 SIT_SECRECY

   The SIT_SECRECY type specifies that the security association is being

INTERNET DRAFT                 IPSEC DOI               February 28,              September 19, 1997


   negotiated in an environment that requires labeled secrecy.  If
   SIT_SECRECY is present in the Situation bitmap, the Situation field
   will be followed by variable-length data that includes a sensitivity
   level and compartment bitmask.  See Section 4.6.1 for a complete
   description of the Security Association Payload format.

   If an initiator does not support SIT_SECRECY, SIT_SECRECY MUST NOT be
   set in the Situation bitmap and no secrecy level or category bitmaps
   shall be included.

   If a responder does not support SIT_SECRECY, a SITUATION-NOT-
   SUPPORTED Notification Payload SHOULD be returned and the security
   association setup MUST be aborted.

4.2.3 SIT_INTEGRITY

   The SIT_INTEGRITY type specifies that the security association is
   being negotiated in an environment that requires labeled integrity.
   If SIT_INTEGRITY is present in the Situation bitmap, the Situation
   field will be followed by variable-length data that includes an
   integrity level and compartment bitmask.  If SIT_SECRECY is also in
   use for the association, the integrity information immediately
   follows the variable-length secrecy level and categories.  See
   section 4.6.1 for a complete description of the Security Association
   Payload format.

   If an initiator does not support SIT_INTEGRITY, SIT_INTEGRITY MUST
   NOT be set in the Situation bitmap and no integrity level or category
   bitmaps shall be included.

   If a responder does not support SIT_INTEGRITY, a SITUATION-NOT-
   SUPPORTED Notification Payload SHOULD be returned and the security
   association setup MUST be aborted.

4.3 IPSEC Security Policy Requirement Requirements

   The IPSEC DOI does not impose specific security policy requirements
   on any implementation.  Host system policy issues are outside of the
   scope of this document.

   However, the following sections touch on some of the issues that must
   be considered when designing an IPSEC DOI host implementation.  This
   section should be considered only informational in nature.

4.3.1 Key Management Issues

   It is expected that many systems choosing to implement ISAKMP will
   strive to provide a protected domain of execution for a combined



Piper                     Expires in 6 months           	[Page 4] 5]

INTERNET DRAFT                 IPSEC DOI               February 28,              September 19, 1997


   ISAKMP/Oakley key management daemon.  On protected-mode multiuser
   operating systems, this key management daemon will likely exist as a
   separate privileged process.

   In such an environment, a formalized API to introduce keying material
   into the TCP/IP kernel may be desirable.  The PF_KEY API [PFKEY] is
   an example of one such API that provides an abstracted key management
   interface.  The IP Security architecture does not place any
   requirements for structure or flow between a host TCP/IP kernel and
   its key management provider.

4.3.2 Static Keying Issues

   Host systems that implement static keys, either for use directly by
   IPSEC, or for authentication purposes (see [IO] Section 5.3), should
   take steps to protect the static keying material when it is not
   residing in a protected memory domain or actively in use by the
   TCP/IP kernel.

   For example, on a laptop, one might choose to store the static keys
   in a configuration store that is, itself, encrypted under a private
   password.

   Depending on the operating system and utility software installed, it
   may not be possible to protect the static keys once they've been
   loaded into the TCP/IP kernel, however they should not be trivially
   recoverable on initial system startup without having to satisfy some
   additional form of authentication.

4.3.3 Host Policy Issues

   It is not realistic to assume that the transition to IPSEC will occur
   overnight.  Host systems must be prepared to implement flexible
   policy lists that describe which systems they desire to speak
   securely with and which systems they require speak securely to them.
   Some notion of proxy firewall addresses may also be required.

   A minimal approach is probably a static list of IP addresses, network
   masks, and a security required flag or flags.

   A more flexible implementation might consist of a list of wildcard
   DNS names (e.g. '*.foo.bar'), an in/out bitmask, and an optional
   firewall address.  The wildcard DNS name would be used to match
   incoming or outgoing IP addresses, the in/out bitmask would be used
   to determine whether or not security was to be applied and in which
   direction, and the optional firewall address would be used to
   indicate whether or not tunnel mode would be needed to talk to the
   target system though an intermediate firewall.

4.3.4 Certificate Management

INTERNET DRAFT                 IPSEC DOI               February 28,              September 19, 1997


4.3.4 Certificate Management

   Host systems implementing a certificate-based authentication scheme
   will need a mechanism for obtaining and managing a database of
   certificates.

   Secure DNS is to be one certificate distribution mechanism, however
   the pervasive availability of secure DNS zones, in the short term, is
   doubtful for many reasons.  What's far more likely is that hosts will
   need an ability to import certificates that they acquire through
   secure, out-of-band mechanisms, as well as an ability to export their
   own certificates for use by other systems.

   However, manual certificate management should not be done so as to
   preclude the ability to introduce dynamic certificate discovery
   mechanisms and/or protocols as they become available.

4.4 IPSEC Assigned Numbers

   The following sections list the Assigned Numbers for the IPSEC DOI
   Security Protocol Identifiers, Transform Identifiers, and Security
   Association Attribute Types.

4.4.1 IPSEC Security Protocol Identifiers

   The ISAKMP proposal syntax was specifically designed to allow for the
   simultaneous negotiation of multiple security protocol suites within
   a single negotiation.  As a result, the protocol suites listed below
   form the set of protocols that can be negotiated at the same time.
   It is a host policy decision as to what protocol suites might be
   negotiated together.

   The following table lists the values for the Security Protocol
   Identifiers referenced in an ISAKMP Proposal Payload for the IPSEC
   DOI.

       Protocol ID                         Value
       -----------                         -----
       RESERVED                            0
       PROTO_ISAKMP                        1
       PROTO_IPSEC_AH                      2
       PROTO_IPSEC_ESP                     3
       PROTO_IPCOMP                        4

   The size of this field is one octet.  The values 4-248 5-248 are reserved
   to IANA.  Values 249-255 are reserved for private use.

   used for the IPSEC DOI is described in [IO].  All implementations
   within the IPSEC DOI MUST support PROTO_ISAKMP.

   NB: ISAKMP reserves the value one (1) across all DOI definitions.

4.4.1.2 PROTO_IPSEC_AH

   The PROTO_IPSEC_AH type specifies IP packet data origin authentication.  The
   default AH transform includes provides data origin
   authentication authentication, integrity
   protection, and replay prevention.  For export control
   considerations, confidentiality MUST NOT be provided by any
   PROTO_IPSEC_AH transform.

4.4.1.3 PROTO_IPSEC_ESP

   The PROTO_IPSEC_ESP type specifies IP packet confidentiality.  Data
   origin authentication,
   Authentication, if required, must be provided as part of the ESP
   transform.  The default ESP transform includes data origin
   authentication, confidentiality, and integrity protection, replay prevention. prevention, and
   confidentiality.

4.4.1.4 PROTO_IPCOMP

   The PROTO_IPCOMP type specifies IP packet compression.

4.4.2 IPSEC ISAKMP Transform Values

   As part of an ISAKMP Phase I negotiation, the initiator's choice of
   Key Exchange offerings is made using some host system policy
   description.  The actual selection of Key Exchange mechanism is made
   using the standard ISAKMP Proposal Payload.  The following table
   lists the defined ISAKMP Phase I Transform Identifiers for the
   Proposal Payload for the IPSEC DOI.

       Transform                           Value
       ---------                           -----
       RESERVED                            0
       KEY_OAKLEY                          1
       KEY_MANUAL                          2
       KEY_KDC                             3

   The size of this field is one octet.  The values 4-248 2-248 are reserved
   to IANA.  Values 249-255 are reserved for private use.

   Within the ISAKMP and IPSEC DOI framework it is possible to define
   key establishment protocols other than Oakley.  Previous versions of
   this document defined types both for manual keying and for schemes
   based on use of a generic Key Distribution Center (KDC).  These

   identifiers have been removed from the current document.

   The IPSEC DOI can still be extended later to include values for
   additional non-Oakley key establishment protocols for ISAKMP and
   IPSEC, such as Kerberos [RFC-1510] or the Group Key Management
   Protocol (GKMP) [RFC-2093].

4.4.2.1 KEY_OAKLEY

   The KEY_OAKLEY type specifies the hybrid ISAKMP/Oakley Diffie-Hellman
   key exchange as defined in the [IO] document.  All implementations
   within the IPSEC DOI MUST support KEY_OAKLEY.

4.4.2.2 KEY_MANUAL

   The KEY_MANUAL type specifies that a shared secret key mechanism is

   to be used in lieu of a dynamic key mechanism.  Specific details of a
   static key establishment protocol will be described in a future
   document.

4.4.2.3 KEY_KDC

   The KEY_KDC type specifies that a secret-key based Key Distribution
   Center will be used to provide dynamic key exchange through a
   Kerberos-like ticket protocol.  Specific details of a KDC-based key
   establishment protocol will be described in a future document.

4.4.3 IPSEC AH Transform Values

4.4.3 IPSEC AH Transform Values

   The Authentication Header Protocol (AH) defines one mandatory and
   several optional transforms used to provide data origin
   authentication. authentication,
   integrity, and replay detection.  The following table lists the
   defined AH Transform Identifiers for the ISAKMP Proposal Payload for
   the IPSEC DOI.

       Transform ID                        Value
       ------------                        -----

   The size of this field is one octet.  The values 4-248 5-248 are reserved
   to IANA.  Values 249-255 are reserved for private use.

4.4.3.1 AH_MD5_KPDK

   The AH_MD5_KPDK type specifies the AH transform (Key/Pad/Data/Key)
   described in RFC-1826 and RFC-1828. RFC-1826.  This mode MAY be used negotiated for compatibility
   with existing older implementations.  Implementations are not required to
   support this mode.

4.4.3.2 AH_MD5

   The AH_MD5 type specifies a generic AH transform using MD5.  The
   actual protection suite is determined in concert with an associated
   SA attribute list.  A generic MD5 transform is currently undefined.

   All implementations within the IPSEC DOI MUST support AH_MD5 along
   with the HMAC and REPLAY attributes. Auth(HMAC-MD5) attribute.  This suite is defined as the
   HMAC-MD5
   HMAC-MD5-96 transform described in RFC-2085. [HMACMD5].

   actual protection suite is determined in concert with an associated
   SA attribute list.  A generic SHA transform is currently undefined.

   All implementations within the IPSEC DOI are strongly encouraged to
   support AH_SHA along with the HMAC and REPLAY attributes. Auth(HMAC-SHA) attribute.  This suite
   is defined as the HMAC-SHA HMAC-SHA-1-96 transform described in [HMACSHA].

4.4.3.4 AH_DES

   The AH_DES type specifies a generic AH transform using DES.  The
   actual protection suite is determined in concert with an associated
   SA attribute list.  A generic DES transform is currently undefined.


   The IPSEC DOI defines AH_DES along with the Auth(DES-MAC) attribute
   to be the DES-MAC transform described in [DESMAC].  Implementations
   are not required to support this mode.


4.4.4 IPSEC ESP Transform Identifiers

   The Encapsulating Security Protocol Payload (ESP) defines one mandatory and
   several
   many optional transforms used to provide data confidentiality.  The
   following table lists the defined ESP Transform Identifiers for the

   The ESP_NULL type specifies no confidentiality is to be provided by
   ESP.  ESP_NULL is used when ESP is being used to tunnel packets which
   require only authentication and integrity protection.  See the Auth
   Algorithm attribute description in Section 4.5 for additional
   requirements relating to the use of ESP_NULL.

4.5.2 Attribute List Parsing Requirement

   To allow for flexible semantics, the IPSEC DOI requires that a
   conforming ISAKMP implementation MUST correctly parse an attribute
   list that contains multiple instances of the same attribute class, so
   long as the different attribute entries do not conflict with one
   another.

   To see why this is important, the following example shows the binary

   encoding of a four entry attribute list that specifies an Encryption
   Key SA Lifetime
   of either 100MB or 24 hours.  (See Section 3.3 of [ISAKMP] for a
   complete description of the attribute encoding format.)

     Attribute #1:
       0x80030001
       0x80010001  (AF = 1, type = Enc Key SA Life Type, value = seconds)

     Attribute #2:
       0x00040004
       0x00020004  (AF = 0, type = Enc Key SA Duration, length = 4 bytes)
       0x00015180  (value = 0x15180 = 86400 seconds = 24 hours)

     Attribute #3:
       0x80030002
       0x80010002  (AF = 1, type = Enc Key SA Life Type, value = KB)

     Attribute #4:
       0x00040004
       0x00020004  (AF = 0, type = Enc Key SA Duration, length = 4 bytes)
       0x000186A0  (value = 0x186A0 = 100000KB = 100MB)

   If conflicting attributes are detected, an ATTRIBUTES-NOT-SUPPORTED
   Notification Payload SHOULD be returned and the security association
   setup MUST be aborted.

   4.5.3 Attribute Negotiation

   If an implementation receives a defined IPSEC Payload Content

   The following sections describe those ISAKMP payloads whose data
   representations are dependent on DOI attribute (or
   attribute value) which it does not support, an ATTRIBUTES-NOT-SUPPORT
   SHOULD be sent and the applicable DOI.

4.6.1 Security Association Payload

   The following diagram illustrates security association setup MUST be aborted,
   unless the content attribute value is in the reserved range.

   If an implementation receives an attribute value in the reserved
   range, an implementation MAY chose to continue based on local policy.

   4.5.4 Lifetime Notification

   When an initiator offers an SA lifetime greater than what the
   responder desires based on their local policy, the responder has
   three choices: 1) fail the negotiation entirely; 2) complete the
   negotiation but use a shorter lifetime than what was offered; 3)
   complete the negotiation and send an advisory notification to the

INTERNET DRAFT                 IPSEC DOI              September 19, 1997


   initiator with the responder's true lifetime.

   In the latter case, the IPSEC DOI requires the following: if the
   initiator offers an SA lifetime longer than the responder is willing
   to accept, the responder SHOULD include an ISAKMP Notification
   Payload in the exchange that includes the responder's IPSEC SA
   payload.  When present, the Notification Payload MUST have the
   following format:

     o  Payload Length - set to length of payload + size of Notify Data
     o  DOI - set to IPSEC DOI (1)
     o  Protocol ID - set to selected Protocol ID from chosen SA
     o  SPI Size - set to eight (8) (two four octet IPSEC SPI's)
     o  Notify Message Type - set to RESPONDER-LIFETIME (Section 4.6.3)
     o  SPI - set to the two IPSEC SPI's
     o  Notification Data - contains an ISAKMP attribute list with the
        responder's actual SA lifetime(s)

   Implementation Note: saying that the Notification Data field contains
   an attribute list is equivalent to saying that the Notification Data
   field has zero length and the Notification Payload has an associated
   attribute list.

4.6 IPSEC Payload Content

   The following sections describe those ISAKMP payloads whose data
   representations are dependent on the applicable DOI.

               Figure 1: Security Association Payload Format

   The Security Association Payload is defined as follows:

     o  Next Payload (2 octets) - Identifier for the payload type of
        the next payload in the message.  If the current payload is
        the last in the message, this field will be zero (0).

     o  RESERVED (1 octet) - Unused, must be zero (0).

     o  Payload Length (2 octets) - Length, in octets, of the current
        payload, including the generic header.

     o  Domain of Interpretation (4 octets) - Specifies the IPSEC DOI,
        which has been assigned the value one (1).

     o  Situation (4 octets) - Bitmask used to interpret the

   The values 1-0x7fffffff are reserved to IANA.  Values 0x8000000-
   0xffffffff are reserved for private use.

4.6.2 Identification Payload Content

   The Identification Payload is used to identify the initiator of the
   Security Association.  The identity of the initiator SHOULD be used
   by the responder to determine the correct host system security policy
   requirement for the association.  For example, a host might choose to
   require data origin authentication and integrity without confidentiality (AH)
   from a certain set of IP addresses and full authentication with
   confidentiality (Hughes) (ESP) from another range of IP addresses.  The
   Identification Payload provides information that can be used by the
   responder to make this decision.

   The following diagram illustrates the content of the Identification
   Payload.

INTERNET DRAFT Changes

   The following changes were made relative to the IPSEC DOI               February 28, 1997 V3, that
   was posted to the IPSEC mailing list prior to the Munich IETF:

     o  added ESP transform identifiers for NULL and ARCFOUR
     o  renamed HMAC Algorithm to Auth Algorithm to accommodate
        DES-MAC and optional authentication/integrity for ESP
     o  added AH and ESP DES-MAC algorithm identifiers
     o  removed KEY_MANUAL and KEY_KDC identifier definitions
     o  added lifetime duration MUST follow lifetype attribute to
        SA Life Type and SA Life Duration attribute definition
     o  added lifetime notification and IPSEC DOI message type table
     o  added optional authentication and confidentiality
        restrictions to MAC Algorithm attribute definition
     o  corrected attribute parsing example (used obsolete attribute)
     o  corrected several Internet Draft document references
     o  added ID_KEY_ID per ipsec list discussion (18-Mar-97)
     o  removed Group Description default for PFS QM ([IO] MUST)

6. Security Considerations

   This entire draft pertains to a hybrid negotiated key management protocol,
   combining Oakley ([OAKLEY]) with ISAKMP ([ISAKMP]), to negotiate which negotiates
   and derive derives keying material for security associations in a secure and
   authenticated manner.  Specific discussion of the various security
   protocols and transforms identified in this document can be found in
   the associated base documents. documents and in the cipher references.
