The need...  In CERTs 2001 annual report it listed 52,000 security incidents  the most serious involving:  IP spoofing  intruders creating packets with false address then taking advantages of OS exploits  eavesdropping and sniffing  attackers listen for userids and passwords and then just walk into target systems  as a result the IAB included authentication and encryption in the next generation IP (IPv6) arun saraswat6

IP Security Scenario arun saraswat4

IP Security Overview IPSec is not a single protocol. Instead, IPSec provides a set of security algorithms plus a general framework that allows a pair of communicating entities to use whichever algorithms provide security appropriate for the communication. arun saraswat8

IP Security Overview Applications of IPSec ◦ Secure branch office connectivity over the Internet ◦ Secure remote access over the Internet ◦ Establsihing extranet and intranet connectivity with partners ◦ Enhancing electronic commerce security arun saraswat9

IP Security Architecture IPSec documents: ◦ RFC 2401: An overview of security architecture ◦ RFC 2402: Description of a packet encryption extension to IPv4 and IPv6 ◦ RFC 2406: Description of a packet emcryption extension to IPv4 and IPv6 ◦ RFC 2408: Specification of key managament capabilities arun saraswat10

IPSec general IP Security mechanisms provides ◦ authentication ◦ confidentiality ◦ key management applicable to use over LANs, across public & private WANs, & for the Internet arun saraswat12

IPSec Services Two protocols are used to provide security: – Authentication Header Protocol (AH) – Encapsulation Security Payload (ESP) Services provided are: – Access control – Connectionless integrity – Data origin authentication – Rejection of replayed packets a form of partial sequence integrity – Confidentiality (encryption) – Limited traffic flow confidentiality arun saraswat13

Security Associations a one-way relationship between sender & receiver that affords security for traffic flow defined by 3 parameters: – Security Parameters Index (SPI) a bit string – IP Destination Address only unicast allowed could be end user, firewall, router – Security Protocol Identifier indicates if SA is AH or ESP has a number of other parameters – seq no, AH & EH info, lifetime etc have a database of Security Associations arun saraswat14

Transport and Tunnel Modes Both AH and ESP have two modes ◦ transport mode is used to encrypt & optionally authenticate IP data  data protected but header left in clear  can do traffic analysis but is efficient  good for ESP host to host traffic ◦ tunnel mode encrypts entire IP packet  add new header for next hop  good for VPNs, gateway to gateway security arun saraswat15

arun saraswat16 Transport Mode SA Tunnel Mode SA AH Authenticates IP payload and selected portions of IP header and IPv6 extension headers Authenticates entire inner IP packet plus selected portions of outer IP header ESP Encrypts IP payload and any IPv6 extesion header Encrypts inner IP packet ESP with authentication Encrypts IP payload and any IPv6 extesion header. Authenticates IP payload but no IP header Encrypts inner IP packet. Authenticates inner IP packet.

arun saraswat19 Tunnel Mode (AH Authentication)

arun saraswat20 Authentication Header Provides support for data integrity and authentication (MAC code) of IP packets. Guards against replay attacks.

arun saraswat21 Encapsulating Security Payload ESP provides confidentiality services

Encryption and Authentication Algorithms Encryption: ◦ Three-key triple DES ◦ RC5 ◦ IDEA ◦ Three-key triple IDEA ◦ CAST ◦ Blowfish Authentication: ◦ HMAC-MD5-96 ◦ HMAC-SHA-1-96 arun saraswat22

Key Management Two types: ◦ Manual ◦ Automated  Oakley Key Determination Protocol  Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol (ISAKMP) arun saraswat29

Oakley Three authentication methods: ◦ Digital signatures ◦ Public-key encryption ◦ Symmetric-key encryption arun saraswat30
