1. Introduction
The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) [FIPS-197] has become the go-
to algorithm for encryption. It is now the most commonly used
algorithm in many areas, including IPsec Virtual Private Networks
(VPNs). On most modern platforms, AES is anywhere from four to ten
times as fast as the previously popular cipher, Triple Data
Encryption Standard (3DES) [SP800-67]. 3DES also uses a 64-bit
block; this means that the amount of data that can be encrypted
before rekeying is required is limited. These reasons make AES not
only the best choice, but the only viable choice for IPsec.
The problem is that if future advances in cryptanalysis reveal a
weakness in AES, VPN users will be in an unenviable position. With
the only other widely supported cipher for IPsec implementations
being the much slower 3DES, it is not feasible to reconfigure IPsec
installations away from AES. [Standby-Cipher] describes this issue
and the need for a standby cipher in greater detail.
This document proposes the fast and secure ChaCha20 stream cipher as
such a standby cipher in an Authenticated Encryption with Associated
Data (AEAD) construction with the Poly1305 authenticator for use with
the Encapsulated Security Protocol (ESP) [RFC4303] and the Internet
Key Exchange Protocol version 2 (IKEv2) [RFC7296]. The algorithms
are described in a separate document ([RFC7539]). This document only
describes the IPsec-specific things.

RFC 7634 ChaCha20 & Poly1305 for IPsec August 2015
1.1. Conventions Used in This Document
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].
2. ChaCha20 and Poly1305 for ESP
AEAD_CHACHA20_POLY1305 ([RFC7539]) is a combined mode algorithm, or
AEAD. Usage follows the AEAD construction in Section 2.8 of RFC
7539:
o The Initialization Vector (IV) is 64 bits and is used as part of
the nonce. The IV MUST be unique for each invocation for a
particular security association (SA) but does not need to be
unpredictable. The use of a counter or a linear feedback shift
register (LFSR) is RECOMMENDED.
o A 32-bit Salt is prepended to the 64-bit IV to form the 96-bit
nonce. The salt is fixed per SA, and it is not transmitted as
part of the ESP packet.
o The encryption key is 256 bits.
o The Internet Key Exchange Protocol generates a bitstring called
KEYMAT using a pseudorandom function (PRF). That KEYMAT is
divided into keys for encryption, message authentication, and
whatever else is needed. The KEYMAT requested for each
ChaCha20-Poly1305 key is 36 octets. The first 32 octets are the
256-bit ChaCha20 key, and the remaining 4 octets are used as the
Salt value in the nonce.
The ChaCha20 encryption algorithm requires the following parameters:
a 256-bit key, a 96-bit nonce, and a 32-bit Initial Block Counter.
For ESP, we set these as follows:
o The key is set as mentioned above.
o The 96-bit nonce is formed from a concatenation of the 32-bit Salt
and the 64-bit IV, as described above.
o The Initial Block Counter is set to one (1). The reason that one
is used for the initial counter rather than zero is that zero is
reserved for generating the one-time Poly1305 key (see below).
Nir Standards Track [Page 3]
RFC 7634 ChaCha20 & Poly1305 for IPsec August 2015
As the ChaCha20 block function is not applied directly to the
plaintext, no padding should be necessary. However, in keeping with
the specification in RFC 4303, the plaintext always has a pad length
octet and a Next Header octet, and it may require padding octets so
as to align the buffer to an integral multiple of 4 octets.
The same key and nonce, along with a block counter of zero, are
passed to the ChaCha20 block function, and the top 256 bits of the
result are used as the Poly1305 key.
Finally, the Poly1305 function is run on the data to be
authenticated, which is, as specified in Section 2.8 of [RFC7539], a
concatenation of the following in the order below:
o The Authenticated Additional Data (AAD); see Section 2.1.
o Zero-octet padding that rounds the length up to 16 octets. This
is 4 or 8 octets depending on the length of the AAD.
o The ciphertext.
o Zero-octet padding that rounds the total length up to an integral
multiple of 16 octets.
o The length of the AAD in octets (as a 64-bit integer encoded in
little-endian byte order).
o The length of the ciphertext in octets (as a 64-bit integer
encoded in little-endian byte order).
The 128-bit output of Poly1305 is used as the tag. All 16 octets are
included in the packet.

o The IV field is 64 bits. It is the final 64 bits of the 96-bit
nonce. If the counter method is used for generating unique IVs,
then the final 32 bits of the IV will be equal to the Sequence
Number field.
o The length of the Padding field need not exceed 4 octets.
However, neither RFC 4303 nor this specification require using the
minimal padding length.
o The Integrity Check Value field contains the 16-octet tag.
2.1. AAD Construction
The construction of the Additional Authenticated Data (AAD) is
similar to the one in [RFC4106]. For security associations (SAs)
with 32-bit sequence numbers, the AAD is 8 octets: a 4-octet SPI
followed by a 4-octet sequence number ordered exactly as it is in the
packet. For SAs with an Extended Sequence Number (ESN), the AAD is
12 octets: a 4-octet SPI followed by an 8-octet sequence number as a
64-bit integer in big-endian byte order.
Nir Standards Track [Page 5]
RFC 7634 ChaCha20 & Poly1305 for IPsec August 2015
3. Use in IKEv2
AEAD algorithms can be used in IKE, as described in [RFC5282]. More
specifically:
o The Encrypted Payload is as described in Section 3 of RFC 5282.
o The ChaCha20-Poly1305 keying material is derived similarly to ESP:
36 octets are requested for each of SK_ei and SK_er, of which the
first 32 form the key and the last 4 form the salt. No octets are
requested for SK_ai and SK_ar.
o The IV is 64 bits, as described in Section 2, and is included
explicitly in the Encrypted payload.
o The sender SHOULD include no padding and set the Pad Length field
to zero. The receiver MUST accept any length of padding.
o The AAD is as described in Section 5.1 of RFC 5282, so it is 32
octets (28 for the IKEv2 header plus 4 octets for the encrypted
payload header), assuming no unencrypted payloads.
4. Negotiation in IKEv2
When negotiating the ChaCha20-Poly1305 algorithm for use in IKE or
IPsec, the value ENCR_CHACHA20_POLY1305 (28) should be used in the
transform substructure of the SA payload as the ENCR (type 1)
transform ID. As with other AEAD algorithms, INTEG (type 3)
transform substructures MUST NOT be specified, or just one INTEG
transform MAY be included with value NONE (0).
5. Security Considerations
The ChaCha20 cipher is designed to provide 256-bit security.
The Poly1305 authenticator is designed to ensure that forged messages
are rejected with a probability of 1-(n/(2^102)) for a 16n-octet
message, even after sending 2^64 legitimate messages, so it is
SUF-CMA (strong unforgeability against chosen-message attacks) in the
terminology of [AE].
The most important security consideration in implementing this
document is the uniqueness of the nonce used in ChaCha20. The nonce
should be selected uniquely for a particular key, but
unpredictability of the nonce is not required. Counters and LFSRs
are both acceptable ways of generating unique nonces.
Nir Standards Track [Page 6]
RFC 7634 ChaCha20 & Poly1305 for IPsec August 2015
Another issue with implementing these algorithms is avoiding side
channels. This is trivial for ChaCha20, but requires some care for
Poly1305. Considerations for implementations of these algorithms are
in [RFC7539].
The Salt value in used nonce construction in ESP and IKEv2 is derived
from the keystream, same as the encryption key. It is never
transmitted on the wire, but the security of the algorithm does not
depend on its secrecy. Thus, implementations that keep keys and
other secret material within some security boundary MAY export the
Salt from the security boundary. This may be useful if the API
provided by the library accepts the nonce as a parameter rather than
the IV.
6. IANA Considerations
IANA has assigned the value 28 as a transform identifier for the
algorithm described in this document in the "Transform Type 1 -
Encryption Algorithm Transform IDs" registry with name
ENCR_CHACHA20_POLY1305 and this document as reference for both ESP
and IKEv2.

RFC 7634 ChaCha20 & Poly1305 for IPsec August 2015
Appendix A. ESP Example
For this example, we will use a tunnel-mode ESP SA using the
ChaCha20-Poly1305 algorithm. The keying material is as follows:
KEYMAT:
000 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 8a 8b 8c 8d 8e 8f ................

032 a0 a1 a2 a3 ....
Obviously not a great PRF. The first 32 octets are the key and the
final 4 octets (0xa0 0xa1 0xa2 0xa3) are the salt. For the packet,
we will use an ICMP packet from 198.51.100.5 to 192.0.2.5:
Source Packet:

080 34 35 36 37 4567
The SA details are as follows:
o The key and Salt are as above.
o The SPI is 0x01 0x02 0x03 0x04.
o The next sequence number is 5; ESN is not enabled.
o The gateway IP address for this side is 203.0.113.153; The peer
address is 203.0.113.5.
o NAT was not detected.
The 64-bit IV is 0x10 0x11 0x12 0x13 0x14 0x15 0x16 0x17. Putting
together the salt and IV we get the nonce:
The nonce:

With the key, nonce, and plaintext available, we can call the
ChaCha20 function and encrypt the packet, producing the ciphertext:

To calculate the tag, we need a one-time Poly1305 key, which we
calculate by calling the ChaCha20 function again with the same key
and nonce, but a block count of zero.

Appendix B. IKEv2 Example
For the IKEv2 example, we'll use the following:
o The key is 0x80..0x9f, the same as in Appendix A.
o The Salt is 0xa0 0xa1 0xa2 0xa3.
o The IV will also be the same as in the previous example. The fact
that the IV and Salt are both the same means that the nonce is
also the same.
o Because the key and nonce are the same, so is the one-time
Poly1305 key.
o The packet will be an INFORMATIONAL request carrying a single
payload: a Notify payload with type SET_WINDOW_SIZE, setting the

RFC 7634 ChaCha20 & Poly1305 for IPsec August 2015
Ciphertext:
000 61 03 94 70 1f 8d 01 7f 7c 12 92 48 89 a..p....|..H.
The AAD is constructed by appending the IKE header to the encrypted
payload header. Note that the length field in the IKE header and the
length field in the encrypted payload header have to be calculated
before constructing the AAD:
AAD:
000 c0 c1 c2 c3 c4 c5 c6 c7 d0 d1 d2 d3 d4 d5 d6 d7 ................
016 2e 20 25 00 00 00 00 09 00 00 00 45 29 00 00 29 . %........E)..)
In this case, the length of the AAD is an integral multiple of 16, so
when constructing the input to Poly1305 there was no need for
padding. The ciphertext is 13 octets long, so it is followed by 3
zero octets. The input to Poly1305 is 32 octets of AAD, 13 octets of
ciphertext, 3 octets of zero padding, and two 8-octet length fields
in little-endian byte order.

The below file in the snoop format [RFC1761] contains three packets:
The first is the ICMP packet from the example in Appendix A, the
second is the ESP packet from the same appendix, and the third is the
IKEv2 packet from this appendix. To convert this text back into a
file, you can use a Unix command line tool such as
"openssl enc -d -a":
