Introduction 77 The Diameter EAP application [RFC4072] defines the EAP-Master- 78 Session-Key and EAP-Key-Name AVPs for the purpose of transporting 79 cryptographic keying material derived during the execution of certain 80 The Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) [RFC3748] methods (for 81 example, EAP-TLS [RFC5216]). At most one instance of either of these 82 AVPs is allowed in any Diameter message. 84 However, recent work (see, for example, [RFC5295]) has specified 85 methods to derive other keys from the keying material created during 86 EAP method execution that may require transport in addition to the 87 MSK. In addition, the EAP Re-authentication Protocol (ERP) [RFC5296] 88 specifies new keys that may need to be transported between Diameter 89 nodes. 91 This note specifies a set of AVPs allowing the transport of multiple 92 cryptographic keys in a single Diameter message. 94 2. Terminology 96 2.1. Standards Language 98 The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", 99 "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this 100 document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119]. 102 2.2. Technical Terms and Acronyms 104 DSRK 105 Domain-Specific Root Key [RFC5295]. 107 MSK 108 Master Session Key [RFC3748]. 110 rMSK 111 reauthentication MSK [RFC5296]. This is a per-authenticator key, 112 derived from the rRK (see Paragraph 4). 114 rRK 115 reauthentication Root Key, derived from the EMSK Extended Master 116 Session Key [RFC3748] or DSRK [RFC5296]. 118 3. Attribute-Value Pair Definitions 120 This section defines new AVPs for the transport of cryptographic keys 121 in the Diameter EAP application [RFC4072], as well as other Diameter 122 applications. 124 3.1. Key AVP 126 The Key AVP (AVP Code ) is of type Grouped [RFC3588]. It 127 contains the type and keying material and, optionally, an indication 128 of the usable lifetime of the key, the name of the key and a Security 129 Parameter Index (SPI) with which the key is associated. 131 Key ::= < AVP Header: AC1 > 132 < Key-Type > 133 { Keying-Material } 134 [ Key-Lifetime ] 135 [ Key-Name ] 136 [ Key-SPI ] 137 * [ AVP ] 139 3.1.1. Key-Type AVP 141 The Key-Type AVP (AVP Code ) is of type Enumerated and signifies 142 the type of the key being sent. The following values are defined in 143 this document: 145 MSK (0) 146 The EAP Master Session Key [RFC3748] 148 DSRK (1) 149 A Domain-Specific Root Key [RFC5295]. 151 rRK (2) 152 A reauthentication Root Key [RFC5296]. 154 rMSK (3) 155 A reauthentication Master Session Key [RFC5296]. 157 IKEv2-PSK (4) A pre-shared key for use in IKE-V2 key exchange 158 [I-D.ietf-dime-ikev2-psk-diameter]. 160 If additional values are needed, they are to be assigned by IANA 161 according to the policy stated in Section 5.2 163 3.1.2. Key-Name AVP 165 The Key-Name AVP is of type OctetString. It contains an opaque key 166 identifier. Exactly how this name is generated and used depends on 167 the key type and usage in question, and is beyond the scope of this 168 document (see [RFC5247] and [RFC5295] for discussions of key name 169 generation in the context of EAP). 171 3.1.3. Keying-Material AVP 173 The Keying-Material AVP (AVP Code ) is of type OctetString. The 174 exact usage of this keying material depends upon several factors, 175 including the link layer in use and the type of the key; it is beyond 176 the scope of this document. 178 3.1.4. Key-Lifetime AVP 180 The Key-Lifetime AVP (AVP Code ) is of type Integer64 [RFC3588] 181 and represents the period of time (in seconds) for which the contents 182 of the Keying-Material AVP Section 3.1.3 is valid. 184 NOTE: 185 Applications using this value SHOULD consider the beginning of the 186 lifetime to be the point in time when the message containing the 187 keying material is received. 189 3.1.5. Key-SPI 191 The Key-SPI AVP (AVP Code ) is of type Unsigned32 and contains a 192 SPI value that can be used with other parameters for identifying 193 associated keying material. 195 4. Security Considerations 197 The security considerations applicable to the Diameter Base Protocol 198 [RFC3588] are also applicable to this document, as are those in 199 Section 8.4 of RFC 4072 [RFC4072]. 201 5. IANA Considerations 203 Upon publication of this memo as an RFC, IANA is requested to assign 204 values as described in the following sections. 206 5.1. AVP Codes 208 Codes must be assigned for the following AVPs using the policy 209 specified in RFC 3588, Section 11.1.1: 211 o Key (, Section 3.1) 213 o Key-Type (, Section 3.1.1) 215 o Keying-Material (, Section 3.1.3) 217 o Key-Lifetime (, Section 3.1.4) 219 o Key-SPI (, Section 3.1.5) 221 5.2. AVP Values 223 IANA is requested to create a new registry for values assigned to the 224 Key-Type AVP and populated with the values defined in this document 225 (Section 3.1.1). New values may be assigned for the Key-Type AVP 226 using the "Expert Review" policy [RFC5226]; once values have been 227 assigned, they MUST NOT be deleted, replaced, modified or deprecated. 229 6.
