IESG Note
Section 4.4.4.2 states, "All implememtations within the IPSEC DOI
MUST support ESP_DES...". Recent work in the area of cryptanalysis
suggests that DES may not be sufficiently strong for many
applications. Therefore, it is very likely that the IETF will
deprecate the use of ESP_DES as a mandatory cipher suite in the near
future. It will remain as an optional use protocol. Although the
IPsec working group and the IETF in general have not settled on an
alternative algorithm (taking into account concerns of security and
performance), implementers may want to heed the recommendations of
section 4.4.4.3 on the use of ESP_3DES.
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, payloads, and processing guidelines
that occur within a given Domain of Interpretation (DOI). This
document defines the Internet IP Security DOI (IPSEC DOI), which
instantiates ISAKMP for use with IP when IP uses ISAKMP to negotiate
security associations.
For a list of changes since the previous version of the IPSEC DOI,
please see Section 7.
Piper Standards Track [Page 1]
RFC 2407 IP Security Domain of Interpretation November 1998
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 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
authentication, integrity, and/or confidentiality for IP packets sent
between cooperating host systems and/or firewalls.
For a description of the overall IPSEC architecture, see [ARCH],
[AH], and [ESP].
The keywords MUST, MUST NOT, REQUIRED, SHALL, SHALL NOT, SHOULD,
SHOULD NOT, RECOMMENDED, MAY, and OPTIONAL, when they appear in this
document, are to be interpreted as described in [RFC 2119].
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 (IPSEC DOI) is one (1). Within the IPSEC
DOI, all well-known identifiers MUST be registered with the IANA
under the IPSEC DOI. Unless otherwise noted, all tables within this
document refer to IANA Assigned Numbers for the IPSEC DOI. See
Section 6 for further information relating to the IANA registry for
the IPSEC DOI.
All multi-octet binary values are stored in network byte order.
Piper Standards Track [Page 2]
RFC 2407 IP Security Domain of Interpretation November 1998
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
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 ([IKE], 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.
The SIT_SECRECY type specifies that the security association is being
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.
Piper Standards Track [Page 3]
RFC 2407 IP Security Domain of Interpretation November 1998
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.
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.
It is expected that many systems choosing to implement ISAKMP will
strive to provide a protected domain of execution for a combined IKE
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 IP Security
architecture does not place any requirements for structure or flow
between a host TCP/IP kernel and its key management provider.
Piper Standards Track [Page 4]
RFC 2407 IP Security Domain of Interpretation November 1998
Host systems that implement static keys, either for use directly by
IPSEC, or for authentication purposes (see [IKE] Section 5.4), 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.
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.
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
Piper Standards Track [Page 5]
RFC 2407 IP Security Domain of Interpretation November 1998
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.
The following sections list the Assigned Numbers for the IPSEC DOI:
Situation Identifiers, Protocol Identifiers, Transform Identifiers,
AH, ESP, and IPCOMP Transform Identifiers, Security Association
Attribute Type Values, Labeled Domain Identifiers, ID Payload Type
Values, and Notify Message Type Values.
The ISAKMP proposal syntax was specifically designed to allow for the
simultaneous negotiation of multiple Phase II 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 PROTO_ISAKMP type specifies message protection required during
Phase I of the ISAKMP protocol. The specific protection mechanism
used for the IPSEC DOI is described in [IKE]. All implementations
within the IPSEC DOI MUST support PROTO_ISAKMP.
NB: ISAKMP reserves the value one (1) across all DOI definitions.
Piper Standards Track [Page 6]
RFC 2407 IP Security Domain of Interpretation November 1998
The PROTO_IPSEC_AH type specifies IP packet authentication. The
default AH transform provides data origin authentication, integrity
protection, and replay detection. For export control considerations,
confidentiality MUST NOT be provided by any PROTO_IPSEC_AH transform.
The PROTO_IPSEC_ESP type specifies IP packet confidentiality.
Authentication, if required, must be provided as part of the ESP
transform. The default ESP transform includes data origin
authentication, integrity protection, replay detection, and
confidentiality.
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_IKE 1
Within the ISAKMP and IPSEC DOI framework it is possible to define
key establishment protocols other than IKE (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].
Piper Standards Track [Page 7]
RFC 2407 IP Security Domain of Interpretation November 1998
The KEY_IKE type specifies the hybrid ISAKMP/Oakley Diffie-Hellman
key exchange (IKE) as defined in the [IKE] document. All
implementations within the IPSEC DOI MUST support KEY_IKE.
The Authentication Header Protocol (AH) defines one mandatory and
several optional transforms used to provide authentication,
integrity, and replay detection. The following table lists the
defined AH Transform Identifiers for the ISAKMP Proposal Payload for
the IPSEC DOI.
Note: the Authentication Algorithm attribute MUST be specified to
identify the appropriate AH protection suite. For example, AH_MD5
can best be thought of as a generic AH transform using MD5. To
request the HMAC construction with AH, one specifies the AH_MD5
transform ID along with the Authentication Algorithm attribute set to
HMAC-MD5. This is shown using the "Auth(HMAC-MD5)" notation in the
following sections.
Transform ID Value
------------ -----
RESERVED 0-1
AH_MD5 2
AH_SHA 3
AH_DES 4
Note: all mandatory-to-implement algorithms are listed as "MUST"
implement (e.g. AH_MD5) in the following sections. All other
algorithms are optional and MAY be implemented in any particular
implementation.
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 Auth(HMAC-MD5) attribute. This suite is defined as the
HMAC-MD5-96 transform described in [HMACMD5].
The AH_MD5 type along with the Auth(KPDK) attribute specifies the AH
transform (Key/Pad/Data/Key) described in RFC-1826.
Piper Standards Track [Page 8]
RFC 2407 IP Security Domain of Interpretation November 1998
Use of AH_MD5 with any other Authentication Algorithm attribute value
is currently undefined.
The AH_SHA type specifies a generic AH transform using SHA-1. The
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 MUST support AH_SHA along
with the Auth(HMAC-SHA) attribute. This suite is defined as the
HMAC-SHA-1-96 transform described in [HMACSHA].
Use of AH_SHA with any other Authentication Algorithm attribute value
is currently undefined.
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 a DES-MAC transform. Implementations are not required to
support this mode.
Use of AH_DES with any other Authentication Algorithm attribute value
is currently undefined.
The Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) defines one mandatory and
many optional transforms used to provide data confidentiality. The
following table lists the defined ESP Transform Identifiers for the
ISAKMP Proposal Payload for the IPSEC DOI.
Note: when authentication, integrity protection, and replay detection
are required, the Authentication Algorithm attribute MUST be
specified to identify the appropriate ESP protection suite. For
example, to request HMAC-MD5 authentication with 3DES, one specifies
the ESP_3DES transform ID with the Authentication Algorithm attribute
set to HMAC-MD5. For additional processing requirements, see Section
4.5 (Authentication Algorithm).

Note: all mandatory-to-implement algorithms are listed as "MUST"
implement (e.g. ESP_DES) in the following sections. All other
algorithms are optional and MAY be implemented in any particular
implementation.
The ESP_DES type specifies a generic DES transform using DES-CBC.
The actual protection suite is determined in concert with an
associated SA attribute list. A generic transform is currently
undefined.
All implementations within the IPSEC DOI MUST support ESP_DES along
with the Auth(HMAC-MD5) attribute. This suite is defined as the
[DES] transform, with authentication and integrity provided by HMAC
MD5 [HMACMD5].
The ESP_3DES type specifies a generic triple-DES transform. The
actual protection suite is determined in concert with an associated
SA attribute list. The generic transform is currently undefined.
All implementations within the IPSEC DOI are strongly encouraged to
support ESP_3DES along with the Auth(HMAC-MD5) attribute. This suite
is defined as the [ESPCBC] transform, with authentication and
integrity provided by HMAC MD5 [HMACMD5].
Piper Standards Track [Page 10]
RFC 2407 IP Security Domain of Interpretation November 1998
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, integrity protection, and replay
detection.
All implementations within the IPSEC DOI MUST support ESP_NULL. The
ESP NULL transform is defined in [ESPNULL]. See the Authentication
Algorithm attribute description in Section 4.5 for additional
requirements relating to the use of ESP_NULL.
The IP Compression (IPCOMP) transforms define optional compression
algorithms that can be negotiated to provide for IP payload
compression ([IPCOMP]). The following table lists the defined IPCOMP

identifies the specific vendor algorithm.
The following SA attribute definitions are used in Phase II of an IKE
negotiation. Attribute types can be either Basic (B) or Variable-
Length (V). Encoding of these attributes is defined in the base
ISAKMP specification.
Attributes described as basic MUST NOT be encoded as variable.
Variable length attributes MAY be encoded as basic attributes if
their value can fit into two octets. See [IKE] for further
information on attribute encoding in the IPSEC DOI. All restrictions
listed in [IKE] also apply to the IPSEC DOI.

Compression Private Algorithm
Specifies a private vendor compression algorithm. The first
three (3) octets must be an IEEE assigned company_id (OUI).
The next octet may be a vendor specific compression subtype,
followed by zero or more octets of vendor data.
To ensure basic interoperability, all implementations MUST be
prepared to negotiate all of the following attributes.
SA Life Type
SA Duration
Auth Algorithm
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. Currently, the only attributes which requires this
treatment are Life Type and Duration.
To see why this is important, the following example shows the binary
encoding of a four entry attribute list that specifies an 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:
0x80010001 (AF = 1, type = SA Life Type, value = seconds)
Attribute #2:
0x00020004 (AF = 0, type = SA Duration, length = 4 bytes)
0x00015180 (value = 0x15180 = 86400 seconds = 24 hours)
Attribute #3:
0x80010002 (AF = 1, type = SA Life Type, value = KB)
Piper Standards Track [Page 15]
RFC 2407 IP Security Domain of Interpretation November 1998
Attribute #4:
0x00020004 (AF = 0, type = 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.
If an implementation receives a defined IPSEC DOI attribute (or
attribute value) which it does not support, an ATTRIBUTES-NOT-SUPPORT
SHOULD be sent and the security association setup MUST be aborted,
unless the 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.
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
initiator indicating the responder's true lifetime. The choice of
what the responder actually does is implementation specific and/or
based on local policy.
To ensure interoperability in the latter case, the IPSEC DOI requires
the following only when the responder wishes to notify the initiator:
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. Section 4.6.3.1 defines the payload layout for the
RESPONDER-LIFETIME Notification Message type which MUST be used for
this purpose.
The following diagram illustrates the content of the Security
Association Payload for the IPSEC DOI. See Section 4.2 for a
description of the Situation bitmap.

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 authentication and integrity without confidentiality (AH)
from a certain set of IP addresses and full authentication with
confidentiality (ESP) from another range of IP addresses. The
Identification Payload provides information that can be used by the
responder to make this decision.
During Phase I negotiations, the ID port and protocol fields MUST be
set to zero or to UDP port 500. If an implementation receives any
other values, this MUST be treated as an error and the security
association setup MUST be aborted. This event SHOULD be auditable.

o RESERVED (1 octet) - Unused, must be zero (0).
o Payload Length (2 octets) - Length, in octets, of the
identification data, including the generic header.
o Identification Type (1 octet) - Value describing the identity
information found in the Identification Data field.
Piper Standards Track [Page 19]
RFC 2407 IP Security Domain of Interpretation November 1998
o Protocol ID (1 octet) - Value specifying an associated IP
protocol ID (e.g. UDP/TCP). A value of zero means that the
Protocol ID field should be ignored.
o Port (2 octets) - Value specifying an associated port. A value
of zero means that the Port field should be ignored.
o Identification Data (variable length) - Value, as indicated by
the Identification Type.
The following table lists the assigned values for the Identification
Type field found in the Identification Payload.
ID Type Value
------- -----
RESERVED 0
ID_IPV4_ADDR 1
ID_FQDN 2
ID_USER_FQDN 3
ID_IPV4_ADDR_SUBNET 4
ID_IPV6_ADDR 5
ID_IPV6_ADDR_SUBNET 6
ID_IPV4_ADDR_RANGE 7
ID_IPV6_ADDR_RANGE 8
ID_DER_ASN1_DN 9
ID_DER_ASN1_GN 10
ID_KEY_ID 11
For types where the ID entity is variable length, the size of the ID
entity is computed from size in the ID payload header.
When an IKE exchange is authenticated using certificates (of any
format), any ID's used for input to local policy decisions SHOULD be
contained in the certificate used in the authentication of the
exchange.
The ID_FQDN type specifies a fully-qualified domain name string. An
example of a ID_FQDN is, "foo.bar.com". The string should not
contain any terminators.
Piper Standards Track [Page 20]
RFC 2407 IP Security Domain of Interpretation November 1998
The ID_USER_FQDN type specifies a fully-qualified username string, An
example of a ID_USER_FQDN is, "piper@foo.bar.com". The string should
not contain any terminators.
The ID_IPV4_ADDR_SUBNET type specifies a range of IPv4 addresses,
represented by two four (4) octet values. The first value is an IPv4
address. The second is an IPv4 network mask. Note that ones (1s) in
the network mask indicate that the corresponding bit in the address
is fixed, while zeros (0s) indicate a "wildcard" bit.
The ID_IPV6_ADDR_SUBNET type specifies a range of IPv6 addresses,
represented by two sixteen (16) octet values. The first value is an
IPv6 address. The second is an IPv6 network mask. Note that ones
(1s) in the network mask indicate that the corresponding bit in the
address is fixed, while zeros (0s) indicate a "wildcard" bit.
The ID_IPV4_ADDR_RANGE type specifies a range of IPv4 addresses,
represented by two four (4) octet values. The first value is the
beginning IPv4 address (inclusive) and the second value is the ending
IPv4 address (inclusive). All addresses falling between the two
specified addresses are considered to be within the list.
The ID_IPV6_ADDR_RANGE type specifies a range of IPv6 addresses,
represented by two sixteen (16) octet values. The first value is the
beginning IPv6 address (inclusive) and the second value is the ending
IPv6 address (inclusive). All addresses falling between the two
specified addresses are considered to be within the list.
The ID_DER_ASN1_DN type specifies the binary DER encoding of an ASN.1
X.500 Distinguished Name [X.501] of the principal whose certificates
are being exchanged to establish the SA.
Piper Standards Track [Page 21]
RFC 2407 IP Security Domain of Interpretation November 1998
The ID_DER_ASN1_GN type specifies the binary DER encoding of an ASN.1
X.500 GeneralName [X.509] of the principal whose certificates are
being exchanged to establish the SA.
The ID_KEY_ID type specifies an opaque byte stream which may be used
to pass vendor-specific information necessary to identify which pre-
shared key should be used to authenticate Aggressive mode
negotiations.
ISAKMP defines two blocks of Notify Message codes, one for errors and
one for status messages. ISAKMP also allocates a portion of each
block for private use within a DOI. The IPSEC DOI defines the
following private message types for its own use.
Notify Messages - Error Types Value
----------------------------- -----
RESERVED 8192
Notify Messages - Status Types Value
------------------------------ -----
RESPONDER-LIFETIME 24576
REPLAY-STATUS 24577
INITIAL-CONTACT 24578
Notification Status Messages MUST be sent under the protection of an
ISAKMP SA: either as a payload in the last Main Mode exchange; in a
separate Informational Exchange after Main Mode or Aggressive Mode
processing is complete; or as a payload in any Quick Mode exchange.
These messages MUST NOT be sent in Aggressive Mode exchange, since
Aggressive Mode does not provide the necessary protection to bind the
Notify Status Message to the exchange.
Nota Bene: a Notify payload is fully protected only in Quick Mode,
where the entire payload is included in the HASH(n) digest. In Main
Mode, while the notify payload is encrypted, it is not currently
included in the HASH(n) digests. As a result, an active substitution
attack on the Main Mode ciphertext could cause the notify status
message type to be corrupted. (This is true, in general, for the
last message of any Main Mode exchange.) While the risk is small, a
corrupt notify message might cause the receiver to abort the entire
negotiation thinking that the sender encountered a fatal error.
Piper Standards Track [Page 22]
RFC 2407 IP Security Domain of Interpretation November 1998
Implementation Note: the ISAKMP protocol does not guarantee delivery
of Notification Status messages when sent in an ISAKMP Informational
Exchange. To ensure receipt of any particular message, the sender
SHOULD include a Notification Payload in a defined Main Mode or Quick
Mode exchange which is protected by a retransmission timer.
The RESPONDER-LIFETIME status message may be used to communicate the
IPSEC SA lifetime chosen by the responder.
When present, the Notification Payload MUST have the following
format:
o Payload Length - set to length of payload + size of data (var)
o DOI - set to IPSEC DOI (1)
o Protocol ID - set to selected Protocol ID from chosen SA
o SPI Size - set to either sixteen (16) (two eight-octet ISAKMP
cookies) or four (4) (one IPSEC SPI)
o Notify Message Type - set to RESPONDER-LIFETIME (Section 4.6.3)
o SPI - set to the two ISAKMP cookies or to the sender's inbound
IPSEC SPI
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.
The REPLAY-STATUS status message may be used for positive
confirmation of the responder's election on whether or not he is to
perform anti-replay detection.
When present, the Notification Payload MUST have the following
format:
o Payload Length - set to length of payload + size of data (4)
o DOI - set to IPSEC DOI (1)
o Protocol ID - set to selected Protocol ID from chosen SA
o SPI Size - set to either sixteen (16) (two eight-octet ISAKMP
cookies) or four (4) (one IPSEC SPI)
o Notify Message Type - set to REPLAY-STATUS
o SPI - set to the two ISAKMP cookies or to the sender's inbound
IPSEC SPI
o Notification Data - a 4 octet value:
Piper Standards Track [Page 23]
RFC 2407 IP Security Domain of Interpretation November 1998
0 = replay detection disabled
1 = replay detection enabled
The INITIAL-CONTACT status message may be used when one side wishes
to inform the other that this is the first SA being established with
the remote system. The receiver of this Notification Message might
then elect to delete any existing SA's it has for the sending system
under the assumption that the sending system has rebooted and no
longer has access to the original SA's and their associated keying
material. When used, the content of the Notification Data field
SHOULD be null (i.e. the Payload Length should be set to the fixed
length of Notification Payload).
When present, the Notification Payload MUST have the following
format:
o Payload Length - set to length of payload + size of data (0)
o DOI - set to IPSEC DOI (1)
o Protocol ID - set to selected Protocol ID from chosen SA
o SPI Size - set to sixteen (16) (two eight-octet ISAKMP cookies)
o Notify Message Type - set to INITIAL-CONTACT
o SPI - set to the two ISAKMP cookies
o Notification Data - <not included>
This entire memo pertains to the Internet Key Exchange protocol
([IKE]), which combines ISAKMP ([ISAKMP]) and Oakley ([OAKLEY]) to
provide for the derivation of cryptographic keying material 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 and in the cipher references.
This document contains many "magic" numbers to be maintained by the
IANA. This section explains the criteria to be used by the IANA to
assign additional numbers in each of these lists. All values not
explicitly defined in previous sections are reserved to IANA.
Piper Standards Track [Page 24]
RFC 2407 IP Security Domain of Interpretation November 1998
The Situation Definition is a 32-bit bitmask which represents the
environment under which the IPSEC SA proposal and negotiation is
carried out. Requests for assignments of new situations must be
accompanied by an RFC which describes the interpretation for the
associated bit.
If the RFC is not on the standards-track (i.e., it is an
informational or experimental RFC), it must be explicitly reviewed
and approved by the IESG before the RFC is published and the
transform identifier is assigned.
The upper two bits are reserved for private use amongst cooperating
systems.
The Security Protocol Identifier is an 8-bit value which identifies a
security protocol suite being negotiated. Requests for assignments
of new security protocol identifiers must be accompanied by an RFC
which describes the requested security protocol. [AH] and [ESP] are
examples of security protocol documents.
If the RFC is not on the standards-track (i.e., it is an
informational or experimental RFC), it must be explicitly reviewed
and approved by the IESG before the RFC is published and the
transform identifier is assigned.
The values 249-255 are reserved for private use amongst cooperating
systems.
The IPSEC ISAKMP Transform Identifier is an 8-bit value which
identifies a key exchange protocol to be used for the negotiation.
Requests for assignments of new ISAKMP transform identifiers must be
accompanied by an RFC which describes the requested key exchange
protocol. [IKE] is an example of one such document.
If the RFC is not on the standards-track (i.e., it is an
informational or experimental RFC), it must be explicitly reviewed
and approved by the IESG before the RFC is published and the
transform identifier is assigned.
The values 249-255 are reserved for private use amongst cooperating
systems.
Piper Standards Track [Page 25]
RFC 2407 IP Security Domain of Interpretation November 1998
The IPSEC AH Transform Identifier is an 8-bit value which identifies
a particular algorithm to be used to provide integrity protection for
AH. Requests for assignments of new AH transform identifiers must be
accompanied by an RFC which describes how to use the algorithm within
the AH framework ([AH]).
If the RFC is not on the standards-track (i.e., it is an
informational or experimental RFC), it must be explicitly reviewed
and approved by the IESG before the RFC is published and the
transform identifier is assigned.
The values 249-255 are reserved for private use amongst cooperating
systems.
The IPSEC ESP Transform Identifier is an 8-bit value which identifies
a particular algorithm to be used to provide secrecy protection for
ESP. Requests for assignments of new ESP transform identifiers must
be accompanied by an RFC which describes how to use the algorithm
within the ESP framework ([ESP]).
If the RFC is not on the standards-track (i.e., it is an
informational or experimental RFC), it must be explicitly reviewed
and approved by the IESG before the RFC is published and the
transform identifier is assigned.
The values 249-255 are reserved for private use amongst cooperating
systems.
The IPSEC IPCOMP Transform Identifier is an 8-bit value which
identifier a particular algorithm to be used to provide IP-level
compression before ESP. Requests for assignments of new IPCOMP
transform identifiers must be accompanied by an RFC which describes
how to use the algorithm within the IPCOMP framework ([IPCOMP]). In
addition, the requested algorithm must be published and in the public
domain.
If the RFC is not on the standards-track (i.e., it is an
informational or experimental RFC), it must be explicitly reviewed
and approved by the IESG before the RFC is published and the
transform identifier is assigned.
Piper Standards Track [Page 26]
RFC 2407 IP Security Domain of Interpretation November 1998
The values 1-47 are reserved for algorithms for which an RFC has been
approved for publication. The values 48-63 are reserved for private
use amongst cooperating systems. The values 64-255 are reserved for
future expansion.
The IPSEC Security Association Attribute consists of a 16-bit type
and its associated value. IPSEC SA attributes are used to pass
miscellaneous values between ISAKMP peers. Requests for assignments
of new IPSEC SA attributes must be accompanied by an Internet Draft
which describes the attribute encoding (Basic/Variable-Length) and
its legal values. Section 4.5 of this document provides an example
of such a description.
The values 32001-32767 are reserved for private use amongst
cooperating systems.
The IPSEC Labeled Domain Identifier is a 32-bit value which
identifies a namespace in which the Secrecy and Integrity levels and
categories values are said to exist. Requests for assignments of new
IPSEC Labeled Domain Identifiers should be granted on demand. No
accompanying documentation is required, though Internet Drafts are
encouraged when appropriate.
The values 0x80000000-0xffffffff are reserved for private use amongst
cooperating systems.
The IPSEC Identification Type is an 8-bit value which is used as a
discriminant for interpretation of the variable-length Identification
Payload. Requests for assignments of new IPSEC Identification Types
must be accompanied by an RFC which describes how to use the
identification type within IPSEC.
If the RFC is not on the standards-track (i.e., it is an
informational or experimental RFC), it must be explicitly reviewed
and approved by the IESG before the RFC is published and the
transform identifier is assigned.
The values 249-255 are reserved for private use amongst cooperating
systems.
Piper Standards Track [Page 27]
RFC 2407 IP Security Domain of Interpretation November 1998
The IPSEC Notify Message Type is a 16-bit value taken from the range
of values reserved by ISAKMP for each DOI. There is one range for
error messages (8192-16383) and a different range for status messages
(24576-32767). Requests for assignments of new Notify Message Types
must be accompanied by an Internet Draft which describes how to use
the identification type within IPSEC.
The values 16001-16383 and the values 32001-32767 are reserved for
private use amongst cooperating systems.
