To establish distinct roles for the two hosts in each connection, To establish distinct roles for the two hosts in each connection,
tcpcrypt depends on the role-negotiation mechanism of TCP-ENO. As tcpcrypt depends on the role-negotiation mechanism of TCP-ENO. As
one result of the negotiation process, TCP-ENO assigns hosts unique one result of the negotiation process, TCP-ENO assigns hosts unique
roles abstractly called "A" at one end of the connection and "B" at roles abstractly called "A" at one end of the connection and "B" at
the other. Generally, an active opener plays the "A" role and a the other. Generally, an active opener plays the "A" role and a
passive opener plays the "B" role; but in the case of simultaneous passive opener plays the "B" role, but in the case of simultaneous
open, an additional mechanism breaks the symmetry and assigns a open, an additional mechanism breaks the symmetry and assigns a
distinct role to each host. TCP-ENO uses the terms "host A" and distinct role to each host. TCP-ENO uses the terms "host A" and
"host B" to identify each end of a connection uniquely, and this "host B" to identify each end of a connection uniquely, and this
document employs those terms in the same way. document employs those terms in the same way.
An ENO suboption includes a flag "v" which indicates the presence of An ENO suboption includes a flag "v" which indicates the presence of

Given a session secret "ss[i]", the two sides compute a series of Given a session secret "ss[i]", the two sides compute a series of
master keys as follows: master keys as follows:
mk[0] = CPRF(ss[i], CONST_REKEY, K_LEN) mk[0] = CPRF(ss[i], CONST_REKEY | sn[i], K_LEN)
mk[j] = CPRF(mk[j-1], CONST_REKEY, K_LEN) mk[j] = CPRF(mk[j-1], CONST_REKEY, K_LEN)
The process of advancing through the series of master keys is The process of advancing through the series of master keys is
described in Section 3.8. described in Section 3.8. The values "sn[i]" are "session nonces."
For the initial session with "i = 0", the session nonce is zero bytes

The resumption nonce MUST have a minimum length of zero bytes and
maximum length of eight bytes. The value MUST be chosen randomly or
using a mechanism that guarantees uniqueness even in the face of
virtual machine cloning or other re-execution of the same session.
An attacker who can force either side of a connection to reuse a
session secret with the same nonce will completely break the security
of tcpcrypt. Reuse of session secrets is possible in the event of
virtual machine cloning or reuse of system-level hibernation state.
Implementations SHOULD provide an API through which to set the
resumption nonce length, and MUST default to eight bytes if they
cannot prohibit the reuse of session secrets.
The resumption identifier is calculated from a session secret "ss[i]" The resumption identifier is calculated from a session secret "ss[i]"
as follows: as follows:
resume[i] = CPRF(ss[i], CONST_RESUME, 18) resume[i] = CPRF(ss[i], CONST_RESUME, 18)
