Introduction This document describes the use of the SEED [RFC4269] block cipher algorithm in the Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP) [RFC3711] for providing confidentiality for Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) [RFC3550] traffic and for the control traffic for RTP, the Real-time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP) [RFC3550]. 1.1. SEED SEED is a symmetric encryption algorithm that was developed by the Korea Information Security Agency (KISA) and a group of experts, beginning in 1998. The input/output block size of SEED is 128-bit and the key length is also 128-bit. SEED has the 16-round Feistel structure. A 128-bit input is divided into two 64-bit blocks and the right 64-bit block is an input to the round function with a 64-bit subkey generated from the key scheduling. SEED is easily implemented in various software and hardware because it is designed to increase the efficiency of memory storage and the simplicity of generating keys without degrading the security of the algorithm. In particular, it can be effectively adopted in a computing environment that has restricted resources such as mobile devices, smart cards, and so on. SEED is a national industrial association standard [TTASSEED] and is widely used in South Korea for electronic commerce and financial services operated on wired and wireless PKI. The algorithm specification and object identifiers are described in [RFC4269]. The SEED homepage, http://seed.kisa.or.kr/eng/main.jsp, contains a wealth of information about SEED, including detailed specification, evaluation report, test vectors, and so on. 1.2. Terminology The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119]. 1.3. Definitions || concatenation XOR exclusive or Yoon, et al. Standards Track [Page 3] RFC 5669 SEED-SRTP August 2010 2. Cryptographic Transforms All symmetric block cipher algorithms share common characteristics, including mode, key size, weak keys, and block size. The following sections contain descriptions of the relevant characteristics of SEED. SEED does not have any restrictions for modes of operation that are used with this block cipher. We define three modes of running SEED: (1) SEED in counter mode, (2) SEED in counter mode with CBC-MAC (CCM), and (3) SEED in Galois/Counter Mode (GCM). 2.1. Counter Section 4.1.1 of [RFC3711] defines AES counter mode encryption, which that document refers to as AES-CM. SEED counter mode is defined in a similar manner and is denoted as SEED-CTR. The plaintext inputs to the block cipher are formed as in AES-CM, and the block cipher outputs are processed as in AES-CM. The only difference in the processing is that SEED-CTR uses SEED as the underlying encryption primitive. When SEED-CTR is used, it MUST be used only in conjunction with an authentication function. 2.1.1. Message Authentication/Integrity: HMAC-SHA1 HMAC-SHA1 [RFC2104], as defined in Section 4.2.1 of [RFC3711], SHALL be the default message-authentication code to be used with SEED-CTR. The default session-authentication key length SHALL be 160 bits, the default authentication tag length SHALL be 80 bits, and the SRTP_PREFIX_LENGTH SHALL be zero for HMAC-SHA1. For SRTP, smaller values are NOT RECOMMENDED but MAY be used after careful consideration of the issues discussed in Sections 7.5 and 9.5 of [RFC3711]. 2.2. Counter with CBC-MAC (CCM) CCM [RFC3610] is a generic authenticate-and-encrypt block cipher mode. In this specification, CCM used with the SEED block cipher is denoted as SEED-CCM. Section 3.3 of [RFC3711] defines procedures to construct or to authenticate and decrypt SRTP packets. For SEED-CCM, however, the sender performs Step 7 before Step 5 and the receiver performs the second half of Step 5 (verification) after Step 6. This means that authentication is performed on the plaintext rather than the ciphertext. This applies equally to SRTCP. Yoon, et al. Standards Track [Page 4] RFC 5669 SEED-SRTP August 2010 All SRTP packets MUST be authenticated and encrypted. Unlike SRTP, Secure Real-time Transport Control Protocol (SRTCP) packet encryption is optional (but authentication is mandatory). A sender can select which packets to encrypt and indicates this choice with a 1-bit encryption flag (located in the leftmost bit of the 32-bit word that contains the SRTCP index). SEED-CCM has two parameters: M M indicates the size of the authentication tag. In SRTP, a full 80-bit authentication tag SHOULD be used and implementation of this specification MUST support M values of 10 octets. L L indicates the size of the length field in octets. The number of octets in the nonce MUST be 12, i.e., L is 3. SEED-CCM has four inputs: Key A single key is used to calculate the authentication tag (using CBC-MAC) and to perform payload encryption using counter mode. SEED only supports a key size of 128 bits. Nonce The size of the nonce depends on the value selected for the parameter L. It is 15-L octets. L equals 3, and hence the nonce size equals 12 octets. Plaintext In the case of SRTP, the payload of the RTP packet, the RTP padding, and the RTP pad count field (if the latter two fields are present) are treated as plaintext. In the case of SRTCP, when the encryption flag is set to 1, the Encrypted Portion described in Fig.2 of [RFC3711] is treated as plaintext. When the encryption flag is set to 0, the plaintext is zero-length. Additional Authentication Data (AAD) In the case of SRTP, the header of the RTP packet, including the contributing source (CSRC) identifier (if present) and the RTP header extension (if present), is considered AAD. Yoon, et al. Standards Track [Page 5] RFC 5669 SEED-SRTP August 2010 In the case of SRTCP, when the encryption flag is set to 0, the Authentication Portion described in Fig.2 of [RFC3711] is treated as AAD. When the encryption flag is set to 1, the first 8 octets, the encryption flag, and the SRTCP index are treated as AAD. SEED-CCM accepts these four inputs and returns a ciphertext field. 2.3. Galois/Counter Mode (GCM) GCM is a block cipher mode of operation providing both confidentiality and data origin authentication [GCM]. GCM used with the SEED block cipher is denoted as SEED-GCM. SEED-GCM has four inputs: a key, a plaintext, a nonce, and the additional authenticated data (AAD), all described in Section 2.2. The bit length of the tag, denoted t, is 12, and an authentication tag with a length of 12 octets (96 bits) is used. 3. Nonce Format for CCM and GCM 3.1. Nonce for SRTP The nonce for SRTP SHALL be formed in the following way: Nonce = (16 bits of zeroes || SSRC || ROC || SEQ) XOR Salt The 4-octet SSRC and the 2-octet SEQ SHALL be taken from the RTP header. The 4-octet ROC is from the cryptographic context. The 12-octet Salt SHALL be produced by the SRTP key derivation function. 3.2. Nonce for SRTCP The nonce for SRTCP SHALL be formed in the following way: Nonce = (16 bits of zeroes || SSRC || 16 bits of zeroes || SRTCP index) XOR Salt The 4-octet SSRC SHALL be taken from the RTCP header and the 31-bit SRTCP index (packed zero-filled and right-justified into a 4-octet field) is from each packet. The 12-octet Salt SHALL be produced by the SRTP key derivation function. Yoon, et al. Standards Track [Page 6] RFC 5669 SEED-SRTP August 2010 4. Key Derivation: SEED-CTR PRF Section 4.3.3 of [RFC3711] defines the AES-128 counter mode key derivation function, which it refers to as "AES-CM PRF". The SEED- CTR PRF is defined in a similar manner, but with each invocation of AES replaced with an invocation of SEED. The currently defined PRF, keyed by the 128-bit master key, has input block size m = 128 and can produce n-bit outputs for n up to 2^23. SEED-PRF_n(k_master, x) SHALL be SEED in counter mode, as described in Section 2.1; it SHALL be applied to key k_master, have IV equal to (x*2^16), and have the output keystream truncated to the first n (leftmost) bits. 5. Mandatory-to-Implement Transforms "Mandatory-to-implement" means conformance to this specification, and that Table 1 in this document does not supercede a similar table in Section 5 of [RFC3711]. An RTP implementation that supports SEED MUST implement the modes listed in Table 1 of this document. mandatory-to-implement optional encryption SEED-CTR SEED-CCM,SEED-GCM message integrity HMAC-SHA1 SEED-CCM,SEED-GCM key derivation (PRF) SEED-CTR - Table 1: Mandatory-to-implement and optional transforms in SRTP and SRTCP 6. Security Considerations No security problem has been found on SEED. SEED is secure against all known attacks, including differential cryptanalysis, linear cryptanalysis, and related key attacks. The best known attack is only an exhaustive search for the key. For further security considerations, the reader is encouraged to read [SEED-EVAL]. See [RFC3610] and [GCM] for security considerations regarding the CCM and GCM Modes of Operation, respectively. In the context of SRTP, the procedures in [RFC3711] ensure the critical property of non-reuse of counter values. Yoon, et al. Standards Track [Page 7] RFC 5669 SEED-SRTP August 2010 7. IANA Considerations [RFC4568] defines SRTP "crypto suites". In order to allow the Session Description Protocol (SDP) to signal the use of the algorithms defined in this document, IANA has registered the following crypto suites into the subregistry for SRTP crypto suites under the Media Stream Transports of the SDP Security Descriptions: SEED_CTR_128_HMAC_SHA1_80 SEED_128_CCM_80 SEED_128_GCM_96 8.
