IKE operates in two stages: .Pp In the first stage (Main or Identity Protection Mode), the two IKE daemons establish a secure link between themselves, fully authenticating each other and establishing key material for encrypting/authenticating future communications between them. This step is typically only performed once for every pair of IKE daemons. .Pp In the second stage (also called Quick Mode), the two IKE daemons create the pair of SAs for the parties that wish to communicate using IPsec. These parties may be the hosts the IKE daemons run on, a host and a network behind a firewall, or two networks behind their respective firewalls. At this stage, the exact parameters of the SAs (e.g., algorithms to use, encapsulation mode, lifetime) and the identities of the communicating parties (hosts, networks, etc.) are specified. The reason for the existence of Quick Mode is to allow for fast SA setup, once the more heavy-weight Main Mode has been completed. Generally, Quick Mode uses the key material derived from Main Mode to provide keys to the IPsec transforms to be used. Alternatively, a new Diffie-Hellman computation may be performed (significantly slowing down the exchange, but at the same time providing Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS)). Briefly, this means that even should an attacker manage to break long-term keys used in other sessions (or, specifically, if an attacker breaks the Diffie-Hellman exchange performed during Main Mode), they will not be able to decrypt this traffic. Normally, no PFS is provided (the key material used by the IPsec SAs established as a result of this exchange will be derived from the key material of the Main Mode exchange), allowing for a faster Quick Mode exchange (no public key computations). .Pp IKE proposals are "suggestions" by the initiator of an exchange to the responder as to what protocols and attributes should be used on a class of packets. For example, a given exchange may ask for ESP with 3DES and MD5 and AH with SHA1 (applied successively on the same packet), or just ESP with Blowfish and RIPEMD-160. The responder examines the proposals and determines which of them are acceptable, according to policy and any credentials. .Pp The following paragraphs assume some knowledge of the contents of the .Xr keynote 4 and .Xr keynote 5 man pages. .Pp In the KeyNote policy model for IPsec, no distinction is currently made based on the ordering of AH and ESP in the packet. Should this change in the future, an appropriate attribute (see below) will be added. .Pp The goal of security policy for IKE is thus to determine, based on local policy (provided in the .Nm isakmpd.policy file), credentials provided during the IKE exchanges (or obtained through other means), the SA attributes proposed during the exchange, and perhaps other (side-channel) information, whether a pair of SAs should be installed in the system (in fact, whether both the IPsec SAs and the flows should be installed). For each proposal suggested by or to the remote IKE daemon, the KeyNote system is consulted as to whether the proposal is acceptable based on local policy (contained in .Nm isakmpd.policy , in the form of policy assertions) and remote credentials (e.g., KeyNote credentials or X509 certificates provided by the remote IKE daemon). .Pp .Nm isakmpd.policy is simply a flat .Xr ascii 7 file containing KeyNote policy assertions, separated by blank lines (note that KeyNote assertions may not contain blank lines). .Nm isakmpd.policy is read when .Xr isakmpd 8 is first started, and every time it receives a .Dv SIGHUP signal. The new policies read will be used for all new Phase 2 (IPsec) SAs established from that point on (even if the associated Phase 1 SA was already established when the new policies were loaded). The policy change will not affect already established Phase 2 SAs. .Pp For more details on KeyNote assertion format, please see .Xr keynote 5 . Briefly, KeyNote policy assertions used in IKE have the following characteristics: .Pp .nf * The Authorizer field is typically "POLICY" (but see the examples below, for use of policy delegation). * The Licensees field can be an expression of passphrases used for authentication of the Main Mode exchanges, and/or public keys (typically, X509 certificates), and/or X509 distinguished names. * The Conditions field contains an expression of attributes from the IPsec policy action set (see below as well as the keynote syntax man page for more details). * The ordered return-values set for IPsec policy is "false, true". .fi .Pp For an explanation of these fields and their semantics, see .Xr keynote 5 . .Pp For example, the following policy assertion: .Bd -literal Authorizer: "POLICY" Licensees: "passphrase:foobar" || "x509-base64:abcd==" || "passphrase-md5-hex:3858f62230ac3c915f300c664312c63f" || "passphrase-sha1-hex:8843d7f92416211de9ebb963ff4ce28125932878" Conditions: app_domain == "IPsec policy" && esp_present == "yes" && esp_enc_alg != "null" -> "true"; .Ed .Pp says that any proposal from a remote host that authenticates using the passphrase "foobar" or the public key contained in the X509 certificate encoded as "abcd==" will be accepted, as long as it contains ESP with a non-null algorithm (i.e., the packet will be encrypted). The last two authorizers are the MD5 and SHA1 hashes respectively of the passphrase "foobar". This form may be used instead of the "passphrase:..." one to protect the passphrase as included in the policy file (or as distributed in a signed credential). .Pp The following policy assertion: .Bd -literal Authorizer: "POLICY" Licensees: "DN:/CN=CA Certificate" Conditions: app_domain == "IPsec policy" && esp_present == "yes" && esp_enc_alg != "null" -> "true"; .Ed .Pp is similar to the previous one, but instead of including a complete X509 credential in the Licensees field, only the X509 certificate's Subject Canonical Name needs to be specified (note that the "DN:" prefix is necessary). .Pp KeyNote credentials have the same format as policy assertions, with one difference: the Authorizer field always contains a public key, and the assertion is signed (and thus its integrity can be cryptographically verified). Credentials are used to build chains of delegation of authority. They can be exchanged during an IKE exchange, or can be retrieved through some out-of-band mechanism (no such mechanism is currently supported in this implementation however). See .Xr isakmpd.conf 5 on how to specify what credentials to send in an IKE exchange. .Pp Passphrases that appear in the Licensees field are encoded as the string "passphrase:", followed by the passphrase itself (case-sensitive). Alternatively (and preferably), they may be encoded using the "passphrase-md5-hex:" or "passphrase-sha1-hex:" prefixes, followed by the .Xr md5 1 or .Xr sha1 1 hash of the passphrase itself, encoded as a hexadecimal string (using lower-case letters only). .Pp When X509-based authentication is performed in Main Mode, any X509 certificates received from the remote IKE daemon are converted to very simple KeyNote credentials. The conversion is straightforward: the issuer of the X509 certificate becomes the Authorizer of the KeyNote credential, the subject becomes the only Licensees entry, while the Conditions field simply asserts that the credential is only valid for "IPsec policy" use (see the app_domain action attribute below). .Pp Similarly, any X509 CA certificates present in the directory pointed to by the appropriate .Xr isakmpd.conf 5 entry, are converted to such pseudo-credentials. This allows one to write KeyNote policies that delegate specific authority to CAs (and the keys those CAs certify, recursively). .Pp For more details on KeyNote assertion format, see .Xr keynote 5 . .Pp Information about the proposals, the identity of the remote IKE daemon, the packet classes to be protected, etc. are encoded in what is called an action set. The action set is composed of name-value attributes, similar in some ways to shell environment variables. These values are initialized by .Nm isakmpd before each query to the KeyNote system, and can be tested against in the Conditions field of assertions. See .Xr keynote 4 and .Xr keynote 5 for more details on the format and semantics of the Conditions field. .Pp Note that assertions and credentials can make references to non-existent attributes without catastrophic failures (access may be denied, depending on the overall structure, but will not be accidentally granted). One reason for credentials referencing non-existent attributes is that they were defined within a specific implementation or network only. .Pp In the following attribute set, IPv4 addresses are encoded as ASCII strings in the usual dotted-quad format. However, all quads are three digits long. For example, the IPv4 address .Va 10.128.1.12 would be encoded as .Va 010.128.001.012 . Similarly, IPv6 addresses are encoded in the standard x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x format, where the 'x's are the hexadecimal values of the eight 16-bit pieces of the address. All 'x's are four digits long. For example, the address .Va 1080:0:12:0:8:800:200C:417A would be encoded as .Va 1080:0000:0012:0000:0008:0800:200C:417A . .Pp The following attributes are currently defined: .Bl -tag -width -indent .It app_domain Always set to .Va IPsec policy . .It doi Always set to .Va ipsec . .It initiator Set to .Va yes if the local daemon is initiating the Phase 2 SA, .Va no otherwise. .It phase_1 Set to .Va aggressive if aggressive mode was used to establish the Phase 1 SA, or .Va main if main mode was used instead. .It pfs Set to .Va yes if a Diffie-Hellman exchange will be performed during this Quick Mode, .Va no otherwise. .It ah_present, esp_present, comp_present Set to .Va yes if an AH, ESP, or compression proposal was received respectively, .Va no otherwise. .It ah_hash_alg One of .Va md5 , .Va sha , .Va ripemd , or .Va des , based on the hash algorithm specified in the AH proposal.

If no lifetime was proposed for the corresponding protocol (e.g., there was no proposal for AH), the corresponding attribute will be set to zero. .It ah_encapsulation, esp_encapsulation, comp_encapsulation Set to .Va tunnel or .Va transport , based on the AH, ESP, and compression proposal. .It ah_ecn, esp_ecn, comp_ecn Set to .Va yes or .Va no , based on whether ECN was requested for the IPsec tunnel. .It comp_dict_size Specifies the log2 maximum size of the dictionary, according to the compression proposal. .It comp_private_alg Set to an integer specifying the private algorithm in use, according to the compression proposal. .It ah_key_length, esp_key_length The number of key bits to be used by the authentication and encryption algorithms respectively (for variable key-size algorithms). .It ah_key_rounds, esp_key length The number of rounds of the authentication and encryption algorithms respectively (for variable round algorithms). .It ah_group_desc, esp_group_desc, comp_group_desc The Diffie-Hellman group identifier from the AH, ESP, and compression proposal, used for PFS during Quick Mode (see the pfs attribute above). If more than one of these attributes are set to a value other than zero, they should have the same value (in valid IKE proposals). Valid values are 1 (768-bit MODP), 2 (1024-bit MODP), 3 (155-bit EC), 4 (185-bit EC), and 5 (1536-bit MODP). .It phase1_group_desc The Diffie-Hellman group identifier used in IKE Phase 1.

For .Va IPv4 subnet or .Va IPv6 subnet , these contain the lowest address in the specified subnet. .It remote_filter, local_filter, remote_id When the corresponding filter_type specifies an address range or subnet, these are set to the upper and lower part of the address space separated by a dash ('-') character (if the type specifies a single address, they are set to that address). .Pp For FQDN and User FQDN types, these are set to the respective string. For Key ID, these are set to the hexadecimal representation of the associated byte string (lower-case letters used) if the Key ID payload contains non-printable characters. Otherwise, they are set to the respective string. .Pp For ASN1 DN, these are set to the text encoding of the Distinguished Name in the payload sent or received. The format is the same as that used in the Licensees field. .It remote_filter_port, local_filter_port, remote_id_port Set to the transport protocol port. .It remote_filter_proto, local_filter_proto, remote_id_proto Set to .Va etherip , .Va tcp , .Va udp , or the transport protocol number, depending on the transport protocol set in the IDci, IDcr, and Main Mode peer ID respectively. .It remote_negotiation_address Set to the IPv4 or IPv6 address of the remote IKE daemon. .It local_negotiation_address Set to the IPv4 or IPv6 address of the local interface used by the local IKE daemon for this exchange. .It GMTTimeOfDay Set to the UTC date/time, in YYYYMMDDHHmmSS format. .It LocalTimeOfDay Set to the local date/time, in YYYYMMDDHHmmSS format. .El .Sh FILES .Bl -tag -width /etc/isakmpd/isakmpd.policy .It Pa /etc/isakmpd/isakmpd.policy The default .Nm isakmpd policy configuration file. .It Pa /usr/share/ipsec/isakmpd/policy A sample .Nm isakmpd policy configuration file. .El .Sh EXAMPLES .Bd -literal Authorizer: "POLICY" Comment: This bare-bones assertion accepts everything Authorizer: "POLICY" Licensees: "passphrase-md5-hex:10838982612aff543e2e62a67c786550" Comment: This policy accepts anyone using shared-secret authentication using the password mekmitasisgoat, and does ESP with some form of encryption (not null).
