1.  Abstract


This document describes protocol extensions (hereafter called PKINIT)
to the Kerberos protocol specification (RFC 1510bis [1]).  These
extensions provide a method for integrating public key cryptography
into the initial authentication exchange, by passing digital
certificates and associated authenticators in preauthentication data
fields.



2.  Introduction


A client typically authenticates itself to a service in Kerberos
using three distinct though related exchanges.  First, the client
requests a ticket-granting ticket (TGT) from the Kerberos
authentication server (AS).  Then, it uses the TGT to request a
service ticket from the Kerberos ticket-granting server (TGS).
Usually, the AS and TGS are integrated in a single device known as
a Kerberos Key Distribution Center, or KDC.  (In this document, we will
refer to both the AS and the TGS as the KDC.) Finally, the client
uses the service ticket to authenticate itself to the service.


The advantage afforded by the TGT is that the client need
explicitly request a ticket and expose his credentials only once.  The
TGT and its associated session key can then be used for any
subsequent requests.  One result of this is that all further
authentication is independent of the method by which the initial
authentication was performed.  Consequently, initial authentication
provides a convenient place to integrate public-key cryptography
into Kerberos authentication.


As defined, Kerberos authentication exchanges use symmetric-key
cryptography, in part for performance.  One cost of using
symmetric-key cryptography is that the keys must be shared, so that
before a client can authenticate itself, he must already be
registered with the KDC.


Conversely, public-key cryptography (in conjunction with an
established Public Key Infrastructure) permits authentication
without prior registration with a KDC.  Adding it to Kerberos allows the
widespread use of Kerberized applications by clients without requiring
them to register first with a KDC: a requirement that has no inherent 
security benefit.


As noted above, a convenient and efficient place to introduce
public-key cryptography into Kerberos is in the initial
authentication exchange.  This document describes the methods and
data formats for integrating public-key cryptography into Kerberos
initial authentication.



3.  Extensions


This section describes extensions to RFC 1510bis for supporting the
use of public-key cryptography in the initial request for a ticket.


Briefly, this document defines the following extensions to RFC 1510bis:


    1.  The client indicates the use of public-key authentication by
        including a special preauthenticator in the initial request. 
        This preauthenticator contains the client's public-key data 
        and a signature.


2.     2.  The KDC tests the client's request against its policy and
        trusted Certification Authorities (CAs).


    3.  If the request passes the verification tests, the KDC
        replies as usual, but the reply is encrypted using either:


        a.  a symmetric encryption key, signed using the KDC?s
            signature key and encrypted using the client?s encryption
            key; or


        b.  a key generated through a Diffie-Hellman exchange with
            the client, signed using the KDC's signature key.


        Any keying material required by the client to obtain the 
        Encryption key is returned in a preauthentication field in 
        the usual reply.


    4.  The client obtains the encryption key, decrypts the reply,
        and then proceeds as usual.


Section 3.1 of this document defines the necessary message formats.
Section 3.2 describes their syntax and use in greater detail.



3.1.  Definitions



3.1.1.  Required Algorithms


All PKINIT implementations MUST support the following algorithms:


    - Reply key (or DH-derived key): AES256-CTS-HMAC-SHA1-96 etype;
    
    - Signature algorithm: SHA-1 digest and RSA;


    - Reply key delivery method: ephemeral-ephemeral Diffie-Hellman
      with a non-zero nonce;


    - Unkeyed checksum type for the paChecksum member of
      PKAuthenticator: SHA1 (unkeyed).



3.1.2.  Defined Message and Encryption Types


PKINIT makes use of the following new preauthentication types:


    PA-PK-AS-REQ                             TBD
    PA-PK-AS-REP                             TBD
    PA-PK-OCSP-REQ                           TBD
    PA-PK-OCSP-REP                           TBD


PKINIT also makes use of the following new authorization data type:


    AD-INITIAL-VERIFIED-CAS                  TBD


PKINIT introduces the following new error codes:


    KDC_ERR_CLIENT_NOT_TRUSTED                62
    KDC_ERR_KDC_NOT_TRUSTED                   63
    KDC_ERR_INVALID_SIG                       64
    KDC_ERR_KEY_SIZE                          65
    KDC_ERR_CERTIFICATE_MISMATCH              66
    KDC_ERR_CANT_VERIFY_CERTIFICATE           70
    KDC_ERR_INVALID_CERTIFICATE               71
    KDC_ERR_REVOKED_CERTIFICATE               72
    KDC_ERR_REVOCATION_STATUS_UNKNOWN         73
    KDC_ERR_CLIENT_NAME_MISMATCH              75


PKINIT uses the following typed data types for errors:


    TD-DH-PARAMETERS                         TBD
    TD-TRUSTED-CERTIFIERS                    104
    TD-CERTIFICATE-INDEX                     105


PKINIT defines the following encryption types, for use in the AS-REQ
message (to indicate acceptance of the corresponding encryption OIDs
in PKINIT):


    dsaWithSHA1-CmsOID                         9
    md5WithRSAEncryption-CmsOID               10
    sha1WithRSAEncryption-CmsOID              11
    rc2CBC-EnvOID                             12
    rsaEncryption-EnvOID   (PKCS1 v1.5)       13
    rsaES-OAEP-EnvOID      (PKCS1 v2.0)       14
    des-ede3-cbc-EnvOID                       15


The above encryption types are used by the client only within the 
KDC-REQ-BODY to indicate which CMS [2] algorithms it supports.  Their 
use within Kerberos EncryptedData structures is not specified by this 
document.



3.1.3.  Algorithm Identifiers


PKINIT does not define, but does make use of, the following
algorithm identifiers.


PKINIT uses the following algorithm identifier for Diffie-Hellman
key agreement [9]:


    dhpublicnumber


PKINIT uses the following signature algorithm identifiers [8, 12]:


    sha-1WithRSAEncryption (RSA with SHA1)
    md5WithRSAEncryption   (RSA with MD5)
    id-dsa-with-sha1       (DSA with SHA1)


PKINIT uses the following encryption algorithm identifiers [5] for
encrypting the temporary key with a public key:


    rsaEncryption          (PKCS1 v1.5)
    id-RSAES-OAEP          (PKCS1 v2.0)


PKINIT uses the following algorithm identifiers [2] for encrypting
the reply key with the temporary key:


    des-ede3-cbc           (three-key 3DES, CBC mode)
    rc2-cbc                (RC2, CBC mode)


Kerberos data structures require the use of integer etypes, while CMS 
objects use OIDs. Therefore, each cryptographic algorithm supported 
by PKINIT is identified both by a CMS OID and by an equivalent 
Kerberos etype (defined in section 3.1.2).


3.2.  PKINIT Preauthentication Syntax and Use


This section defines the syntax and use of the various
preauthentication fields employed by PKINIT.



3.2.1.  Client Request


The initial authentication request (AS-REQ) is sent as per RFC
1510bis; the preauthentication field contains data signed by the
client's private signature key as follows:


    PA-PK-AS-REQ ::= SEQUENCE {
        signedAuthPack          [0] ContentInfo,
                                    -- Defined in CMS [2].
                                    -- Type is SignedData.
                                    -- Content is AuthPack

                                    -- certificate, if the client
                                    -- already has it.
        encryptionCert          [3] IssuerAndSerialNumber OPTIONAL,
                                    -- May identify the client's

                                    -- or an RSA encryption key
                                    -- certificate.
        ...
    }


    TrustedCA ::= CHOICE {
        caName                  [0] Name,
                                    -- Fully qualified X.500 name
                                    -- as defined in RFC 3280 [4].

        ...
    }

        ...
    }


    PKAuthenticator ::= SEQUENCE {
        cusec                   [0] INTEGER,
        ctime                   [1] KerberosTime,
                                    -- cusec and ctime are used as

        ...
    }


    IMPORTS
        -- from RFC 3280 [4]
        SubjectPublicKeyInfo, AlgorithmIdentifier, Name
            FROM PKIX1Explicit88 { iso (1) identified-organization (3)
              dod (6) internet (1) security (5) mechanisms (5)
              pkix (7) id-mod (0) id-pkix1-explicit (18) }


    IMPORTS
        -- from RFC 2630 [2]
        ContentInfo, IssuerAndSerialNumber
            FROM CryptographicMessageSyntax { iso(1) member-body(2)
              us(840) rsadsi(113549) pkcs(1) pkcs-9(9) smime(16)
              modules(0) cms(1) }


    IMPORTS
        -- from RFC 1510bis [1]
        KerberosTime, Checksum
            FROM KerberosV5Spec2 { iso(1) identified-organization(3)
              dod(6) internet(1) security(5) kerberosV5(2) modules(4)
              krb5spec2(2) }


The ContentInfo in the signedAuthPack is filled out as follows:


    1.  The eContent field contains data of type AuthPack.  It MUST
        contain the pkAuthenticator, and MAY also contain the
        client's Diffie-Hellman public value (clientPublicValue).


    2.  The eContentType field MUST contain the OID value for
        pkauthdata: { iso (1) org (3) dod (6) internet (1)
        security (5) kerberosv5 (2) pkinit (3) pkauthdata (1)}


    3.  The signerInfos field MUST contain the signature over the
        AuthPack.


    4.  The certificates field MUST contain at least a signature
        verification certificate chain that the KDC can use to
        verify the signature over the AuthPack.  Additionally, the
        client MAY insert an encryption certificate chain, if
        (for example) the client is not using ephemeral-ephemeral
        Diffie-Hellman.


    5.  If a Diffie-Hellman key is being used, the parameters SHOULD
        be chosen from the First or Second defined Oakley Groups.
        (See RFC 2409 [10].)


    6.  The KDC may wish to use cached Diffie-Hellman parameters.
        To indicate acceptance of caching, the client sends zero in
        the nonce field of the pkAuthenticator.  Zero is not a valid
        value for this field under any other circumstances.  Since
        zero is used to indicate acceptance of cached parameters,
        message binding in this case is performed using only the
        nonce in the main request.



3.2.2.  Validation of Client Request


Upon receiving the client's request, the KDC validates it.  This
section describes the steps that the KDC MUST (unless otherwise
noted) take in validating the request.


The KDC must look for a client certificate in the signedAuthPack.
If it cannot find one signed by a CA it trusts, it sends back an
error of type KDC_ERR_CANT_VERIFY_CERTIFICATE.  The accompanying
e-data for this error is a SEQUENCE OF TYPED-DATA:


    TYPED-DATA ::= SEQUENCE {
                                    -- As defined in RFC 1510bis.
        data-type               [0] INTEGER,
        data-value              [1] OCTET STRING
    }


    IMPORTS
        -- from RFC 1510bis [1]
        TYPED-DATA, Checksum
            FROM KerberosV5Spec2 { iso(1) identified-organization(3)
              dod(6) internet(1) security(5) kerberosV5(2) modules(4)
              krb5spec2(2) }


For this error, the data-type is TD-TRUSTED-CERTIFIERS, and the
data-value is an OCTET STRING containing the DER encoding of


    TrustedCertifiers ::= SEQUENCE OF Name


If, while verifying the certificate chain, the KDC determines that
the signature on one of the certificates in the signedAuthPack is
invalid, it returns an error of type KDC_ERR_INVALID_CERTIFICATE.
The accompanying e-data for this error is a SEQUENCE OF TYPED-DATA,
whose data-type is TD-CERTIFICATE-INDEX, and whose data-value is an
OCTET STRING containing the DER encoding of the index into the
CertificateSet field, ordered as sent by the client:


    CertificateIndex ::= IssuerAndSerialNumber
                                    -- IssuerAndSerialNumber of
                                    -- certificate with invalid signature


If more than one certificate signature is invalid, the KDC MAY send one
TYPED-DATA per invalid signature.


The KDC MAY also check whether any of the certificates in the client's
chain have been revoked.  If any of them have been revoked, the KDC
MUST return an error of type KDC_ERR_REVOKED_CERTIFICATE; if the KDC
attempts to determine the revocation status but is unable to do so,
it SHOULD return an error of type KDC_ERR_REVOCATION_STATUS_UNKNOWN.
The certificate or certificates affected are identified exactly as
for an error of type KDC_ERR_INVALID_CERTIFICATE (see above).


In addition to validating the certificate chain, the KDC MUST also
check that the certificate properly maps to the client's principal name
as specified in the AS-REQ as follows:


    1.  If the KDC has its own mapping from the name in the
        certificate to a Kerberos name, it uses that Kerberos
        name.


    2.  Otherwise, if the certificate contains a SubjectAltName
        extension with a Kerberos name in the otherName field,
        it uses that name. The otherName field (of type AnotherName) in
        the SubjectAltName extension MUST contain the following:


        The type-id is:


        krb5PrincipalName OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso (1) org (3) dod (6)
        internet (1) security (5) kerberosv5 (2) 2 }


        The value is:


        KRB5PrincipalName ::= SEQUENCE {
            realm                   [0] Realm,
            principalName           [1] PrincipalName
        }


        IMPORTS
            -- from RFC 3280 [4]
            GeneralName
                FROM PKIX1Explicit88 { iso (1) identified-organization (3)
                  dod (6) internet (1) security (5) mechanisms (5)
                  pkix (7) id-mod (0) id-pkix1-explicit (18) }


        IMPORTS
            -- from RFC 1510bis [1]
            PrincipalName, Realm
                FROM KerberosV5Spec2 { iso(1) identified-organization(3)
                  dod(6) internet(1) security(5) kerberosV5(2) modules(4)
                  krb5spec2(2) }


If the KDC does not have its own mapping and there is no Kerberos
name present in the certificate, or if the name in the request does
not match the name in the certificate (including the realm name), or
if there is no name in the request, the KDC MUST return error code
KDC_ERR_CLIENT_NAME_MISMATCH.  There is no accompanying e-data
for this error.  If the name in the request is [special "blank"
name], the KDC MAY insert a different name in the reply.


Even if the chain is validated, and the names in the certificate and
the request match, the KDC may decide not to trust the client.  For
example, the certificate may include an Enxtended Key Usage (EKU) OID 
in the extensions field.  As a matter of local policy, the KDC may 
decide to reject requests on the basis of the absence or presence of 
specific EKU OIDs.  In this case, the KDC MUST return error code 
KDC_ERR_CLIENT_NOT_TRUSTED. The PKINIT EKU OID is defined as:


      { iso (1) org (3) dod (6) internet (1) security (5)
        kerberosv5 (2) pkinit (3) pkekuoid (4) }


If the client's signature on the signedAuthPack fails to verify, the KDC
MUST return error KDC_ERR_INVALID_SIG.  There is no accompanying
e-data for this error.


The KDC MUST check the timestamp to ensure that the request is not
a replay, and that the time skew falls within acceptable limits.
The recommendations clock skew times in RFC 1510bis [1] apply here.
If the check fails, the KDC MUSTreturn error code KRB_AP_ERR_REPEAT 
or KRB_AP_ERR_SKEW, respectively.


If the clientPublicValue is filled in, indicating that the
client wishes to use ephemeral-ephemeral Diffie-Hellman, the KDC
checks to see if the parameters satisfy its policy.  If they do not,
it MUST return error code KDC_ERR_KEY_SIZE.  The accompanying e-data is 
a SEQUENCE OF TYPED-DATA, whose data-type is TD-DH-PARAMETERS, and whose 
data-value is an OCTET STRING containing the DER encoding of a 
DomainParameters (see [3]), including appropriate Diffie-Hellman 
parameters with which to retry the request.


The KDC MUST return error code KDC_ERR_CERTIFICATE_MISMATCH if the 
client included a kdcCert field in the PA-PK-AS-REQ and the KDC does not 
have the corresponding certificate.


The KDC MUST return error code KDC_ERR_KDC_NOT_TRUSTED if the client did 
not include a kdcCert field, but did include a trustedCertifiers field, 
and the KDC does not possesses a certificate issued by one of the listed 
certifiers.



3.2.3.  KDC Reply


Assuming that the client's request has been properly validated, the
KDC proceeds as per RFC 1510bis, except as follows.


The KDC MUST set the initial flag and include an authorization data of 
type AD-INITIAL-VERIFIED-CAS in the issued ticket.  The value is an 
OCTET STRING containing the DER encoding of InitialVerifiedCAs:


    InitialVerifiedCAs ::= SEQUENCE OF SEQUENCE {
        ca                      [0] Name,
        Validated               [1] BOOLEAN,
        ...
    }


The KDC MAY wrap any AD-INITIAL-VERIFIED-CAS data in AD-IF-RELEVANT 
containers if the list of CAs satisfies the KDC's realm's policy. 
(This corresponds to the TRANSITED-POLICY-CHECKED ticket flag.) 
Furthermore, any TGS must copy such authorization data from tickets 
used in a PA-TGS-REQ of the TGS-REQ to the resulting ticket, 
including the AD-IF-RELEVANT container, if present. 


AP servers that understand this authorization data type SHOULD apply 
local policy to determine whether a given ticket bearing such a type 
(not contained within an AD-IF-RELEVANT container) is acceptable. 
(This corresponds to the AP server checking the transited field when 
the TRANSITED-POLICY-CHECKED flag has not been set.)  If such a data 
type is contained within an AD-IF-RELEVANT container, AP servers 
MAY apply local policy to determine whether the authorization 
data is acceptable.


The AS-REP is otherwise unchanged from RFC 1510bis.  The KDC encrypts 
the reply as usual, but not with the client's long-term key.
Instead, it encrypts it with either a generated encryption key, or a 
key derived from a Diffie-Hellman exchange. The contents of the 
PA-PK-AS-REP indicate the type of encryption key that was used:


    PA-PK-AS-REP ::= CHOICE {
        dhSignedData            [0] ContentInfo,
                                    -- Type is SignedData.
                                    -- Content is KDCDHKeyInfo
                                    -- (defined below).
        encKeyPack              [1] ContentInfo,
                                    -- Type is SignedData.
                                    -- Content is ReplyKeyPack
                                    -- (defined below).
        ...
    }


    KDCDHKeyInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
        subjectPublicKey        [0] BIT STRING,
                                    -- Equals public exponent
                                    -- (g^a mod p).
                                    -- INTEGER encoded as payload
                                    -- of BIT STRING.
        nonce                   [1] INTEGER,
                                    -- Binds reply to request.
                                    -- Exception: A value of zero
                                    -- indicates that the KDC is
                                    -- using cached values.
        dhKeyExpiration         [2] KerberosTime OPTIONAL,
                                    -- Expiration time for KDC's
                                    -- cached values.
        ...
    }


The fields of the ContentInfo for dhSignedData are to be filled in
as follows:


    1.  The eContent field contains data of type KDCDHKeyInfo.


    2.  The eContentType field contains the OID value for
        pkdhkeydata: { iso (1) org (3) dod (6) internet (1)
        security (5) kerberosv5 (2) pkinit (3) pkdhkeydata (2) }


    3.  The signerInfos field contains a single signerInfo, which is
        the signature of the KDCDHKeyInfo.


    4.  The certificates field contains a signature verification
        certificate chain that the client will use to verify the
        KDC's signature over the KDCDHKeyInfo.  This field may only 
        be left empty if the client did include a kdcCert field in 
        the PA-PK-AS-REQ, indicating that it has the KDC's certificate.


    5.  If the client and KDC agree to use cached parameters, the
        KDC MUST return a zero in the nonce field and include the
        expiration time of the cached values in the dhKeyExpiration
        field.  If this time is exceeded, the client MUST NOT use
        the reply.  If the time is absent, the client MUST NOT use
        the reply and MAY resubmit a request with a non-zero nonce,
        thus indicating non-acceptance of the cached parameters.


The key is derived as follows: Both the KDC and the client calculate
the value g^(ab) mod p, where a and b are the client's and KDC's
private exponents, respectively.  They both take the first k bits of
this secret value as a key generation seed, where the parameter k
(the size of the seed) is dependent on the selected key type, as
specified in [6].  The seed is then converted into a protocol key by 
applying to it a random-to-key function, which is also dependent on 
key type.


    1.  For example, if the encryption type is DES with MD4, k = 64
        bits and the random-to-key function consists of replacing
        some of the bits with parity bits, according to FIPS PUB 74
        [9].


    2.  If the encryption type is three-key 3DES with HMAC-SHA1,
        k = 168 bits and the random-to-key function is
        DES3random-to-key as defined in [6].  This function inserts
        parity bits to create a 192-bit 3DES protocol key that is
        compliant with FIPS PUB 74 [9].  This key is used to
        generate additional keys Ke and Ki, for encryption and
        integrity protection, respectively, using the key usage
        value of 3, as per [6] for the handling of the encrypted
        part of the AS-REP.


If the KDC and client are not using Diffie-Hellman, the KDC encrypts
the reply with an encryption key, packed in the encKeyPack, which
contains data of type ReplyKeyPack:


    ReplyKeyPack ::= SEQUENCE {
        replyKey                [0] EncryptionKey,
                                    -- Defined in RFC 1510bis.
                                    -- Used to encrypt main reply.
                                    -- MUST be at least as strong
                                    -- as session key.  (Using the
                                    -- same enctype and a strong
                                    -- prng should suffice, if no
                                    -- stronger encryption system
                                    -- is available.)
        nonce                   [1] INTEGER,
                                    -- Binds reply to request.
                                    -- MUST be 0 < nonce < 2^32.
        ...
    }


    IMPORTS
        -- from RFC 1510bis [1]
        EncryptionKey
            FROM KerberosV5Spec2 { iso(1) identified-organization(3)
              dod(6) internet(1) security(5) kerberosV5(2) modules(4)
              krb5spec2(2) }


The fields of the ContentInfo for encKeyPack MUST be filled in as
follows:


    1.  The content is of type SignedData.  The eContent for
        the SignedData is of type ReplyKeyPack.


    2.  The eContentType for the SignedData contains the OID value for
        pkrkeydata: { iso (1) org (3) dod (6) internet (1)
        security (5) kerberosv5 (2) pkinit (3) pkrkeydata (3) }


    3.  The signerInfos field contains a single signerInfo, which is
        the signature of the ReplyKeyPack.


    4.  The certificates field contains a signature verification
        certificate chain that the client will use to verify the
        KDC's signature over the ReplyKeyPack.  This field may only 
        be left empty if the client did include a kdcCert field in 
        the PA-PK-AS-REQ, indicating that it has the KDC's certificate.


    5.  The encryptedContentType for the EnvelopedData contains the OID
        value for id-signedData: { iso (1) member-body (2) us (840)
        rsadsi (113549) pkcs (1) pkcs7 (7) signedData (2) }


    6.  The recipientInfos field is a SET which MUST contain exactly
        one member of type KeyTransRecipientInfo.  The encryptedKey
        for this member contains the temporary key which is
        encrypted using the client's public key.


    7.  The unprotectedAttrs or originatorInfo fields MAY be present.



3.2.4.  Validation of KDC Reply


Upon receipt of the KDC's reply, the client proceeds as follows.  If
the PA-PK-AS-REP contains a dhSignedData, the client obtains and
verifies the Diffie-Hellman parameters, and obtains the shared key
as described above.  Otherwise, the message contains an encKeyPack,
and the client decrypts and verifies the temporary encryption key.
In either case, the client then decrypts the main reply with the
resulting key, and then proceeds as described in RFC 1510bis.



3.2.5.  Support for OCSP


OCSP (Online Certificate Status Protocol) [8] allows the use of
on-line requests for a client or server to determine the validity of
each other's certificates.  It is particularly useful for clients
authenticating each other across a constrained network.  These
clients will not have to download the entire CRL to check for the
validity of the KDC's certificate.


In these cases, the KDC generally has better connectivity to the
OCSP server, and it therefore processes the OCSP request and
response and sends the results to the client.  The mechanism defined
in this section allow a client to request an OCSP response from the
KDC when using PKINIT.  This is similar to the way that OCSP is
handled in [7].


OCSP support is provided in PKINIT through the use of additional
preauthentication data.  The following new preauthentication types
are defined:


    PA-PK-OCSP-REQ ::= SEQUENCE {
                                    -- PAType TBD
        responderIDList         [0] SEQUENCE of ResponderID OPTIONAL,
                                    -- ResponderID is a DER-encoded
                                    -- ASN.1 type defined in [8]
        requestExtensions       [1] Extensions OPTIONAL
                                    -- Extensions is a DER-encoded
                                    -- ASN.1 type defined in [8]
    }


    PA-PK-OCSP-REP ::= SEQUENCE of OCSPResponse
                                    -- OCSPResponse is a DER-encoded
                                    -- ASN.1 type defined in [8]


A KDC that receives a PA-PK-OCSP-REQ MAY send a PA-PK-OCSP-REP.
KDCs MUST NOT send a PA-PK-OCSP-REP if they do not first receive a
PA-PK-OCSP-REQ from the client.  The KDC MAY either send a cached
OCSP response or send an on-line request to the OCSP server.


In the case that a responderIDList is not sent or is empty, the OCSP
response must be signed by the authority that issued the
certificate, unless specified otherwise by a mutually agreed policy
between the client and the KDC.


When using OCSP, the response is signed by the OCSP server, which is
trusted by the client.  Depending on local policy, further
verification of the validity of the OCSP server may need to be done.



4.  Security Considerations


PKINIT raises certain security considerations beyond those that can
be regulated strictly in protocol definitions.  We will address them
in this section.


PKINIT extends the cross-realm model to the public-key
infrastructure.  Users of PKINIT must understand security policies 
and procedures appropriate to the use of Public Key Infrastructures.


Standard Kerberos allows the possibility of interactions between 
cryptosystems of varying strengths; this document adds interactions 
with public-key cryptosystems to Kerberos.  Some administrative 
policies may allow the use of relatively weak public keys.  Using 
such keys to wrap data encrypted under stronger conventional 
cryptosystems may be inappropriate.


PKINIT requires keys for symmetric cryptosystems to be generated. 
Some such systems contain "weak" keys.  For recommendations regarding 
these weak keys, see RFC 1510bis.


PKINIT allows the use of a zero nonce in the PKAuthenticator when 
cached Diffie-Hellman keys are used.  In this case, message binding 
is performed using the nonce in the main request in the same way as 
it is done for ordinary AS-REQs (without the PKINIT 
pre-authenticator).  The nonce field in the KDC request body is 
signed through the checksum in the PKAuthenticator, which 
cryptographically binds the PKINIT pre-authenticator to the main body 
of the AS Request and also provides message integrity for the full 
AS Request.


However, when a PKINIT pre-authenticator in the AS-REP has a 
zero-nonce, and an attacker has somehow recorded this 
pre-authenticator and discovered the corresponding Diffie-Hellman 
private key (e.g., with a brute-force attack), the attacker will be 
able to fabricate his own AS-REP messages that impersonate the KDC 
with this same pre-authenticator.  This compromised pre-authenticator 
will remain valid as long as its expiration time has not been reached 
and it is therefore important for clients to check this expiration 
time and for the expiration time to be reasonably short, which 
depends on the size of the Diffie-Hellman group.


If a client also caches its Diffie-Hellman keys, then the session key 
 could remain the same during multiple AS-REQ/AS-REP exchanges and an 
 attacker which compromised the session key could fabricate his own 
AS-REP messages with a pre-recorded pre-authenticator until the 
client starts using a new Diffie-Hellman key pair and while the KDC 
pre-authenticator has not yet expired.  It is therefore not 
recommended for KDC clients to also cache their Diffie-Hellman keys.


Care should be taken in how certificates are chosen for the purposes
of authentication using PKINIT.  Some local policies may require
that key escrow be used for certain certificate types.  Deployers of 
PKINIT should be aware of the implications of using certificates that 
have escrowed keys for the purposes of authentication.


PKINIT does not provide for a "return routability" test to prevent
attackers from mounting a denial-of-service attack on the KDC by
causing it to perform unnecessary and expensive public-key
operations.  Strictly speaking, this is also true of standard
Kerberos, although the potential cost is not as great, because
standard Kerberos does not make use of public-key cryptography.




5.  Acknowledgements


Some of the ideas on which this document is based arose during
discussions over several years between members of the SAAG, the IETF
CAT working group, and the PSRG, regarding integration of Kerberos
and SPX.  Some ideas have also been drawn from the DASS system.
These changes are by no means endorsed by these groups.  This is an
attempt to revive some of the goals of those groups, and this
document approaches those goals primarily from the Kerberos
perspective.  Lastly, comments from groups working on similar ideas
in DCE have been invaluable.
