Abstract
The current IKEv2 proposal [1] lacks an address management
feature. As it includes a NAT traversal capability, this document
extends it to a complete address management with support for NAT
traversal, multi-homing and mobility.
1. Introduction
In this document, the addresses used to transport IKE messages are
named the "peer addresses" (term introduced by [2]). These peer
addresses should no more be directly or indirectly included in
identities ([3] and [4]) as it is commonly done for IKEv1.
draft-dupont-ikev2-addrmgmt-01.txt [Page 1]
INTERNET-DRAFT Address Management for IKEv2 Feb 2003
The current IKEv2 draft [1] often makes the assumption that an
address identifies a node when nodes behind a NAT can share the
same address and a node can use many different addresses. This must
be fixed.
NAT traversal, multi-homing and mobility should take benefit from
this flexibility but the current IKEv2 draft [1] takes only account
of NAT traversal in a flawed way [5]. This document describes the
goals of an address management for IKEv2, including the
requirements for NAT traversal, multi-homing and mobility support,
and finishes by a concrete proposal.
In this document, open questions are introduced by the word NOTE.
2. Goals
The goals of the address management proposed in the document can be
divided in some general goals and in requirements for the three
mechanisms which can change the peer addresses.
2.1 General goals
2.1.1 Simplicity, Performance and Security
The address management should be as simple as possible, i.e., it
should introduce minimal changes to the current IKEv2 draft [1]
and each changes should be justified.
The performance is an important criterion. For instance, rekeying
can update the peer addresses of an IKE SA or of an IPsec SA pair,
but rekeying is too expensive and a specific solution is needed.
As a security protocol, IKEv2 should get a high security
level. Unfortunately we already showed that the NAT traversal
feature comes with a security issue (the transient pseudo-NAT
attack [5]). Such problems introduced by the peer address
flexibility must be described in this document and at least be
mitigated by options in configurations. For instance, the NAT
traversal feature should never be enabled when one knows that
there can not be a NAT as in today IPv6.
2.1.4 Extensions of the IKEv2 draft
The first things to fix in the current IKEv2 draft [1] are the
notifications for NAT traversal (NAT-DETECTION-*-IP):
- They use a hash of the SPIs, address and port, following
a specification for IKEv1. This makes no sense for IKEv2
when the peer does not want to keep its address secret.
- There is no specified way to request the inclusion of
these notifications in messages.
draft-dupont-ikev2-addrmgmt-01.txt [Page 2]
INTERNET-DRAFT Address Management for IKEv2 Feb 2003
- There can be multiple source notifications. IMHO this is a good
idea but the rationale (the sender does not know what address
it uses) is weak. The API to get the address used for UDP
packets to a destination is very standard.
NOTE: is it really needed to do NAT detection in the first
exchange? In fact, the question is whether the responder can
detect NATs from the third message.
The second missing thing in the current IKEv2 draft [1] is about
some misusage of the peer addresses:
- At the reception of a message, the lookup of the corresponding
IKE SA MUST be done using only the SPIs, never using the peer
addresses.
- An INITIAL-CONTACT notification deletes old IKE SAs associated
to the peer Identity, not to the peer address. Current wording
is a bit misleading.
- The revised identity proposal [3] should be integrated in the
IKEv2 specifications. According to IAB recommendations [4],
addresses should not be used as or associated to identities.
Note that the last point stresses the issue of the lack of
protection of peer addresses.
The last thing to fix in the current IKEv2 draft [1] is the
support of the proxy case: the setup of transport mode IPsec SAs
on the behalf of another party.
2.2 NAT traversal requirements
The NAT traversal feature is the support of en-route peer address
modifications:
- NATs must be detected, including their position, i.e., the
receiver of an IKE message should be able to detect any peer
address alteration.
- The peer addresses are included in the pseudo IP header of
transport checksums when a transport mode IPsec SA is used. The
peers must know the original peer address of their correspondent.
- When there are several VPN clients behind a NAT, the ability to
request a three way handshake (a.k.a. a return routability
check) is needed [6].
- As NATs can be used to hide a peer address, a way to keep a
peer address secret should be specified.
- Peers have no control on NATs between them: explicit mechanisms
for peer address update have no advantage.
draft-dupont-ikev2-addrmgmt-01.txt [Page 3]
INTERNET-DRAFT Address Management for IKEv2 Feb 2003
2.3 Multi-homing requirements
In this document, the support of multi-homing is the support of
nodes with several global addresses. Some of the addresses can be
"better" than others, or "better" for some destinations. Some can,
from time to time, be unavailable.
The main requirement for the support of multi-homing is the
management of a set of peer addresses for each peer. The set can
be partially ordered or some subset can be loosely associated with
some destinations (i.e., some subset of the other peer address
set).
For the communication between multi-addressed hosts, the support
of the proxy case can be useful because it provides an easy way to
setup transport mode IPsec SAs with different addresses from one
IKE SA. In such cases the other party is in fact the same host,
this dramatically simplifies the authorization issue.
2.4 Mobility requirements
In the context of Mobile IPv6 ([7] and for the special case of
Home Agents [8]), the interaction of Mobility and IPsec was
analyzed in another document [9]. This document assumes an IPv6
context as Mobile IPv6 is the most powerful mobility proposal
available today.
An IPv6 mobile node is another type of multi-addressed node with:
- a care-of address in a prefix of the visited link.
The care-of address is used to route packets.
- the home address in a prefix of the home link.
The home address is used to identify the mobile node.
The care-of address is transient and usually the mobile node can
not provide a proof that it is the node using it. So it must be
trusted and a return routability check (i.e., an enforced answer
from this address) should be used if it is not.
With a common correspondent, the mobility is transparent and
there is no reason to use another address than the home address.
With the home agent, there are three main cases (c.f. [8]):
- The mobility signaling which is mandatory protected and
raises a specific issue in its initial phase: the IKE SA
must be setup using the care-of address as the peer address
but this IKE SA is used to build an IPsec SA pair with
the home address as traffic selector. This IPsec SA will
protect the home registration which will make the home
address available. This can be considered as a special
proxy case.
draft-dupont-ikev2-addrmgmt-01.txt [Page 4]
INTERNET-DRAFT Address Management for IKEv2 Feb 2003
- Other genuine communications between the home agent and
the mobile node can be covered by the proxy case support
too. Note this is the only case at the exception of signaling
where mobility behaves in a different way than a mobile IPsec
VPN (so we proposed to relax the corresponding rule in a
future version of [7] and [8]).
- The traffic relayed by the home agent through a tunnel with the
mobile node can be partially or fully protected by IPsec SA
pair(s). Encapsulation should be performed only once, including
for degenerated (but not for free) encapsulation like the home
address option or the mobility routing header.
In all cases of interaction with the home agent, the mobile node
peer address should be a care-of address. When the mobile node
moves, another care-of address is used and some SAs, including the
IKE SA, must be updated to use the new address.
Usually the previous peer address is no more usable. In order to
avoid a trivial denial of services, a strong sequencing of updates
is required with a way to cancel possible pending updates when
fast multiple handoff happen.
The IPsec pair which protects the mobility signaling uses the home
address as its traffic selector for the mobile node. It must not
be updated at each handoff. The update mechanism must provide a
fine grain (i.e., per SA) update.
3. Proposal
The proposal for an address management in IKEv2 is mainly an
extension of the NAT traversal notifications with a new peer
address update notification. But there are some points that have
to be kept as they are in the current IKEv2 draft [1].
3.1 Kept points from draft 04
A peer address change has to be supported but not at any time:
the peer addresses MUST NOT change during an exchange, i.e.,
they are allowed to change only between two exchanges.
This address stability requirement applies in fact only to the
Initial exchange as it is the only exchange with more than two
messages specified today.
The peer addresses are used to transport messages. The reply to
a request MUST be sent to the source of the request from the
destination request, i.e., addresses and ports are reversed
between the request and its reply. There is no exception to this
rule.
draft-dupont-ikev2-addrmgmt-01.txt [Page 5]
INTERNET-DRAFT Address Management for IKEv2 Feb 2003
For tunnel mode IPsec SAs, the endpoint addresses are the peer
addresses. We don't propose an alternate way to specify them.
The same requirement applies to transport mode IPsec SAs at the
exception of the proxy case.
3.2 Small points
In the proxy case, the initiator is acting as a client negotiator
on the behalf of another party. The address of this other party is
sent in the initiator traffic selector and will become the address
of this end of the transport mode IPsec SA pair. A proper
authorization in the local policy of the responder is
REQUIRED. Note that the IPsec SAs built in such cases are not
managed in the proposal of these document, and that the proxy case
is limited to the transport mode.
The INITIAL-CONTACT notification uses only identities. All the
references to peer addresses must be removed from or fixed in the
current wording.
In retransmission of requests or responses, copies of messages do
not include peer addresses. So a peer MAY retransmit a message
from or to a different address.
3.3 Peer address notifications
The peer address notifications replace the current
NAT-DETECTION-SOURCE-IP and NAT-DETECTION-DESTINATION-IP
notifications. They includes the peer source or destination
address and the source or destination port. They SHOULD be used
only in protected messages (i.e., not in the first exchange)
and SHOULD be ignored when they are not protected, i.e., outside
an encrypted payload.
NOTE: in fact we have the choice between to replace NAT detection
notifications or to specify new notifications. Here we assume
the second was chosen.
The peer address notifications support IPv4, IPv6 and a hashed
format of peer addresses when a peer wants to keep its address
secret and to perform NAT detection.
For NAT traversal, they are used to detect NATs and their
position, and they provide the original peer addresses for
transport mode. For multi-homing and mobility, they provide a
cryptographically proof of no alteration en-route of the peer
addresses and, when multiple peer address notifications for the
same peer are included, they encode its whole peer address set.
To allow the reduction of the peer address set to one address,
an address MAY be repeated.
draft-dupont-ikev2-addrmgmt-01.txt [Page 6]
INTERNET-DRAFT Address Management for IKEv2 Feb 2003
A new notification has to be defined for the peer address
notification request by the responder. Typically a responder
asking for either NAT traversal or a peer address protection (i.e.,
the opposite) will put this notification in the second message of
the initial exchange. All following messages MUST include the
requested peer address notifications.
NOTE: is a way to request source or destination protection needed?
For the initiator a simple way to request peer address
notifications is to include then in requests: when peer address
notifications are required, peer address notifications MUST be
included in the encrypted payload of requests. When a peer address
notification is included in a request, peer address notifications
are required, all following messages MUST include the peer address
protection notification(s), beginning by the reply message.
NOTE: a simpler proposal is to make peer address notifications
mandatory for any message at the exception of the first exchange.
If multiple peer address notifications for the same peer are
included in a message, the first one SHOULD for the source and
MUST for the destination be the used peer address. The extra
addresses describe the other possible peer addresses, i.e., there
is at least one peer address notification per address in the peer
address set.
In order to associate some possible peer source addresses to
possible peer destination addresses, the source and destination
peer addresses notifications MAY be mixed (i.e., not in the common
order source(s) first, destination(s) after). For instance S1, S2,
D1, S3, D2, D3 is a hint: S1 or S2 should be used in conjunction
with D1, S3 with D2 or D3.
In case of a mismatch of a peer address with the corresponding
peer address notifications, a NAT is detected:
- if the peer address notifications are not protected, they are
ignored. (this can happen only in the first exchange)
- in the Initial exchange:
* if NAT traversal is enabled, both peers MUST switch to
port 4500 for following exchanges and new IPsec SAs.
* if NAT traversal is disabled, the receiving peer MUST
ignore the compromised message and send an error notification
to its peer.
- after the Initial exchange and when NAT traversal is disabled,
this kind of messages can be dangling updates or attacks.
If the possibly compromised message is a new request, its content
MUST be ignored and an error notification sent, but the message
counter MUST be incremented in order to accept the next request.
If it is a retransmitted request, the cached reply MUST be sent.
If it is a reply, the corresponding request MUST be retransmitted.
draft-dupont-ikev2-addrmgmt-01.txt [Page 7]
INTERNET-DRAFT Address Management for IKEv2 Feb 2003
NOTE: the error notification is fatal only in the Initial
exchange. Perhaps the wording should be better, i.e., error
implies fatal in [1]?
NOTE: if the peer has moved between two retransmissions of a
request, it can interleave an explicit address update of at
least the IKE SA.
3.4 Implicit address update
For address update, there is a choice between implicit and
explicit mechanisms for IPsec SAs and IKE SAs.
We claim that the implicit mechanism for IPsec SAs is far too
unsecure for controlled contexts: this mechanism is very (too?)
simple. When a packet is received from another address, the peer
addresses of all SAs are updated. This opens the door to easy
denial of service attacks and assumes extra-processing by the
receiver device.
So the implicit mechanism is restricted to the case where a NAT
was detected, i.e., when IPsec runs over the port 4500. In this
case, the update is performed on all SAs (the IKE SA and all
non-proxy IPsec SAs built with it). This update function SHOULD
be accessible from the outside, see Annex D.
For the implicit mechanism for IKE SAs the things are even
simpler. The implicit mechanism is mainly activated by keepalive
exchanges: to switch from the implicit mechanism to the explicit
one, only an update notification has to be included. The real
difference is in the explicit case an observed peer address change
is only a trigger.
NOTE: should we specify a mechanism to advertise the other peer?
3.5 Explicit address update
The explicit mechanism MUST be used when NAT traversal is disabled
and only it this case. A new notification has to be defined.
We propose to copy it from the delete payload, see Annex C.
The new peer address notification has strong sequencing
requirements. It MUST be processed in order and when a pending
exchange with a peer address update has to be overrided by a more
recent one, the peer address update notification MUST be
canceled by retransmission from the new peer address.
NOTE: IKEv2 messages have a protected sequence number so the
only sequencing issues are the window of processing and pending
exchanges.
draft-dupont-ikev2-addrmgmt-01.txt [Page 8]
INTERNET-DRAFT Address Management for IKEv2 Feb 2003
When the receiver of an update request has to check the validity
of the new peer address, it MAY use a return routability check
sending an informational request at the new address and waiting
for an answer. As informational exchanges are protected no more is
needed.
Example of a return routability check:
I --- address update request --> R
I <-- informational RR request - R
I --- informational RR reply --> R
now the responder knows the initiator should be where it said.
I <--- address update reply ---- R
As for the delete notification, the peer address update
notification specifies the SPIs of the IPsec and IKE SAs it
applies to. But a simple way to specify all SAs (i.e., the IKE SA
and all the non-proxy IPsec SAs it negotiated) is needed.
4. Security Considerations
Great care was used to avoid to introduce security threats.
The NAT traversal feature comes with a security flaw (the transient
pseudo-NAT attack [5]) which can not be easily avoid. IMHO the NAT
traversal feature should be enabled only when the presence of NATs
is likely/possible.
When the NAT traversal feature is disabled, the other peer address
can not be changed en-route by an attacker but the proofs the peer
is really at its address are:
- the trust in the peer
- the proof that the peer can receive messages sent to its address
The second (a.k.a. the return routability check) works only with at
least three messages, i.e., for the initial exchange (with the
address stability requirement) and for the explicit optional
checks. IMHO these checks SHOULD be required by default.
5. Acknowledgments
The need for an address management for IKEv2 was explained at the
ipsec session of the Yokohama IETF meeting. It seems most people
agree but do not propose concrete solutions.
The rare people in the Mobility world with IPsec interests, or in
the IPsec world with Mobility interest, should receive all thanks
because without them we (me and all the future co-authors) have
given up for a long time.
Tero Kivinen helped to improve the NAT traversal part of this
proposal.

In this scenario, both protected endpoints of the IP connection

management is not supported for the IPsec SAs between the two
protected endpoints because the negotiator endpoint has no

The notification header is for IKE SA (Protocol-ID 0, SPI Size 0
and no SPI. The Address Family is from IANA Address Family Numbers
(IPv4 is 1 and IPv6 2) with a special meaning for the family 0:
when the address family is 0, the real address is hashed using
the negotiated digest algorithm for the IKE SA.
NOTE: is this hash = prf(SK_a, <address>)?
The proposed names are PEER-ADDRESS-SOURCE and
PEER-ADDRESS-DESTINATION.
NOTE: we can reused 24582 and 24583 for the notify message types
or get new values.

o Protocol-Id (1 octet) - Must be zero for an IKE-SA, 50 for
ESP, or 51 for AH.
o SPI Size (1 octet) - Length in octets of the SPI as defined by
the Protocol-Id. Zero for IKE (SPI is in message header)
or four for AH and ESP.
o All (1 bit) - MUST be set to one when all SAs (the IKE SA and
all non-proxy outgoing IPsec SAs negotiated by it) are
updated. In this case the update is for the IKE-SA (Protocol-ID
0, SPI size 0, no SPI and number of SPIs 0). MUST be set to zero
when an individual SA is updated.
o # of SPIs (2 octets) - The number of SPIs contained in the Peer
Address Update Notification. The size of each SPI is defined by
the SPI Size field.
draft-dupont-ikev2-addrmgmt-01.txt [Page 12]
INTERNET-DRAFT Address Management for IKEv2 Feb 2003
o Security Parameter Index(es) (variable length) - Identifies the
specific security association(s) to delete. The lengths of these
fields are determined by the SPI Size and # of SPIs fields.
ESP and AH SAs always exist in pairs, with one SA in each direction.
When an SA is updated for a peer address, both members of the pair
MUST be updated. When SAs are nested, as when data (and IP headers
if in tunnel mode) are encapsulated first with IPcomp, then with
ESP, and finally with AH between the same pair of endpoints, all of
the SAs MUST be updated together. Each endpoint MUST update the SAs
it sends on and allow the other endpoint to update the other SA in
each pair. To update a peer address of an SA, an Informational
Exchange with one or more peer address update notifications is sent
listing the SPIs (as they would be placed in the headers of outbound
packets) of the SAs to be updated. The recipient MUST update the
designated SAs. Normally, the reply in the Informational Exchange
will contain peer address update notifications for the paired SAs
going in the other direction. Note there is no special case for
update collision.
The proposed name is PEER-ADDRESS-UPDATE.
NOTE: a payload should be better.
Annex D. PF_KEY version 2 SADB_X_ADDUPD
This annex describes an extension to PF_KEYv2 [10] which provides
a way to ask a peer address update of an IPsec SA and all its
siblings (i.e., an update with the All flag set to one).
The format of the message is:
<base, SA(*), address(SD), new_address(SD)>
and is sent the registered socket listeners by or via the kernel.
No answer is needed because if it fails it will be done again.
New values are needed for SADB_X_ADDUPD and for
SADB_X_EXT_NEW_ADDRESS_SRC and SADB_X_EXT_NEW_ADDRESS_DST
which should have the same layout than SADB_EXT_ADDRESS_*,
i.e., sadb_address structure.
NOTE: IKE itself needs a PF_KEYv2 extension for individual
updating of an IPsec SA.
