`Definitions
`
`3DES (Triple DES)
`Using three DE_S_ encryptions on a single data block, with at least two different keys, to get higher
`security than is available from a single DES pass- The three—key version of 3DES is the default
`encryption algorithm for _I:_,__i_1"’!T'|;‘|“§*(ml:l‘§§§_/“wé;El‘_.
`
`_I;[iS_l;1Q aiways does SDES with three different keys, as required by RFC 2451. For an explanation
`Of the tW0—key Variant, S66 :mo_.1;_cy_t_1.:i.plel_3_E§. Both use an
`enc1'ypt—dec1‘ypt-encrpyt
`sequence of operations.
`
`Single DES is
`
`Double DES is ineffective. Using two 56-bit keys, one might expect an attacker to have to do 2112
`work. to break it. In fact, only 257 work is required with a rr1_c_=.__t_:_t_-_i_r_1_;_t_li_e;«mn_1i§,i_t,i,l,emattacl-;, though a
`large amount of memory is also required. Triple DES is vulnerable to a similar attack, but that just
`reduces the work factor from the 2163 one might expect to 2112. That provides adequate protection
`against ];t;ute__£ot;c_e attacks, and no better attack is lcnown.
`
`3DES can be somewhat slow compared to other ciphers. It requires three DES encryptions per
`block. DES was designed for hardware implementation and includes some operations which are
`difficult in software. However, the speed we get is quite acceptable for many uses. See
`b_e_nchinark_s below for details.
`
`Active attack
`An attack in which the attacker does not merely eavesdrop (see ajttack) but takes action to
`change, delete, reroute, add, forge or divert data. Perhaps the best-known active attack is
`tl;i__e;_rr_1ifi_d1__e. In general, alighegigatipn is a usefiil defense against active attacks.
`AES '
`being developed
`standard to replace
`The Advanced Encryption Standard, a new
`by §~I_I_S__'l:, the US National Institute of Standards and Technology. DES used 64-bit blocks and a
`56~bit key. AES ciphers use A 128-bit block and are required to support 128, 192 and 256-bit keys.
`Some ofthem support other sizes as we1l..'Ihe larger block size helps resist hir_t11_day_aLtacks while

`Authentication
`Ensuring that a message originated from the expected sender and has not been altered on route.
`IPSEC uses authentication in two places:
`l_3_‘i_f_i1e;_‘_¥_Ie-,l1r3t1_ayri key exchanges to prevent
`- authenticating the players in
`__I31§gL.Ll_e_a_‘ttaclg§. This can be done in a number ofways. The methods supported by
`FreeS/WAN are discussed in our configuration document.
`0 authenticating paeketson an established §_._A_.__, either with a separate gn_._rt_hentig_at_ign___headei: or
`with the optional authentication in the ESL’, protocol. In either case, packet authentication
`"uses a hashed rnessaggathentication code technique.
`
`4
`
`Outside IPSEC, passwords are perhaps the most common authentication mechanism. Their
`filnction is essentially to authenticate the person's identity to the system. ?asswo1'ds are generally
`only as secure as the network they travel over. If you send a cleartext password over a tapped
`phone line or over a network with a packet sniffer on it, the security provided by that password
`becomes zero. Sending an encrypted password is no better, the attacker merely records it and
`reuses it at his convenience. This is called a gala: attack.
`A common solution to this problem is a g;_,__a_l_l_enge_~_rs_§po_nse system. This defeats simple
`eavesdropping and replay attacks. Ofcourse an attacker might still try to break the cryptographic
`algorithm used, or the
`generator.
`

`A mode in which keys are automatically generated at connection establisment and new keys

`
`
`
`IPSEC uses the Diffie- ellman ke exchange protocol to create keys. An authentication
`mechansim is required for this. The methods supported by FreeS/WAN are discussed in our
`coniimtration document-
`
`Having an attacker break the authentication is emphaticaliy not a good idea. An attacker that
`breaks authentication, and manages to subvert some other network entities (DNS, routers or
`gateways), can use a rn_a;_1;j_rr-,the_1nigl_dl§_a;ta_c_1g to break the security of your IPSEC connections.
`
`However, having an attacker break the authentication in automatic keying is not quite as bad as
`losingthe key in manual keying.
`- An attacker who reads /6tC./lpSBC.COI1fEl1’ld gets the keys for a manually keyed connection
`can, without further effort, read all messages encrypted with those keys, including any old
`messages he may have archived.
`9 Automatic keying has a property called perfect forward secrecy. An attacker who breaks the
`authentication gets none of the automatically generated keys and cannot immediately read
`any messages. He has to mount a successful m_a__n—__in;_tl1_e;_
`at:
`in real time before he
`
`can read anything. He cannot read old archived messages
`11 will not be able to read
`any future messages not caught by man-in-thevmiddle tricks.
`That said, the secrets used for authentication, stored in ,i1;:._5:».€.3_c.:.§_€_;.tT,,;‘_o;:nt;;:.(.’.§”), should still be protected as
`tightly as cryptographic keys.

`Birthday attack
`A cryptographic attack based on the mathematics exemplified by the bir,tl;§_1__ay__,p,ar_a_do2g. This math

`
`example, see our document on the insecurity of DES with its 56-bit key. For an analysis of key
`sizes required to resist plausible brute force attacks, see this paper.
`
`Longer keys protect against brute force attacks. Each extra bit in the key doubles the number of
`possible keys and therefore doubles the work a brute force attack must do. A large enough key
`defeats any brute force attack.
`
`For example, the EFF‘s DES Cracker searches a 56-bit key space in an average of a few days- Let
`us assume an attacker that can find a 64-bit key (256 times harder) by brute force search in a
`second (a few hundred thousand times faster). For a 96-bit key, that attacker needs 232 seconds,
`just over a century. Against a 128-bit key, he needs 232 centuries or about 400,000,DO0,000 years.
`Your data is then obviously secure against brute force attacks. Even if our estimate of the
`attackers speed is offby a factor of a rniilion, it still takes him 400,000 years to crack a message.
`
`This is why
`- single Djifi is now considered da_ngerously___in_secu_r_e
`- any cipher we add to Linux FreeS/‘WAN will have at least a 90-bit key
`- all of the current generation of Iglock_c_ipher_s use a 128-bit or longer key
`0
`ciphers support keysizes 128, 192 and 256 bits
`Cautions:
`r
`Inadequate keyiength always indicates a weak cipher but it is important to note that adequate ‘
`keylength does not necessarily indicate a strong cipher. There are many attacks other than brute
`force, and adequate keylength only guarantees resistance to brute force. Any cipher, whatever its
`key size, will be weak if design or implementation flaws allow other attacks.
`
`Also, once you have adequateykeylength (somewhere around 90 or 100 bits), adding more key bits
`make no practical difi:reriee,_e\_z.en against brute force. Consider our 128-bit example above that
`takes 400 biiiion years to break by brute force. Do we care if an extra 16 bits of key put that into
`the quadrillions? No. What about 16 fewer bits reducing it to the 1 12-bit security level of yang
`Q13.-_S_, which our example attacker could break in just over a billion years‘? No again, unless we're
`being really paranoid about safety margins.
`
`There may be reasons of convenience in the design of the cipher to support larger keys. For
`example _];‘§l,o,y_yf§l_1_ allows up to 448 bits and 1309,51. up to 2048, but beyond 100-odd bits it makes no
`difference to practical security.

`Denial of service (DOS) attack
`A11 attack that aims at denying some service to legitimate users of a system, rather than providing
`a service to the attacker.
`0 One variant is a flooding attack, overwhelming the system with too many packets, to much
`email, or whatever.
`-
`o A closely related variant is a resource exhaustion attack. For example, consider a "TCP
`SYN flood" attack. Setting up a TCP connection involves a three-packet exchange:
`0 Initiator: Connection please (SYN)
`o Responder: OK (ACK)
`0 Initiator: OK here too
`Ifthe attacker puts bogus source information in the first packet, such that the second is
`never delivered, the responder may wait a long time for the third to come back. Ifresponder
`has already allocated memory for the connection data structures, and ifmany of these bogus
`packets arrive, the responder may run out of memory.
`o Another variant is to feed the system undigesfble data, hoping to make it sick. For example,
`IP packets are limited in size to 64K bytes and a fragment carries information on where it
`starts within that 64K and how long it is. The "ping of deat " delivers fragments that say,
`for example, that they start at 60K and are 20K. long. Attempting to reassemble thse
`without checking for overflow can be fatal.
`.
`The two example attacks discussed were both quite effective when first discovered, capable of

`be much faster than 333138 and almost certainly more secure than DES, However, since it is not in
`the RFCs other IPSEC implementations cannot be expected to have it.

`- DH
`
`'
`see _I}_if_fe:_H_e,1LmWan
`Difl-’1e—Hellman (DH) key exchange protocol
`A protocol that allows two parties without any initial shared secret to create one in a manner
`immune to eavesdropping. Once they have done this, they can communicate privately by using
`that shared secret as a key for a block cipher or as the basis for key exchange.
`
`The protocol is secure against all passive attacks, but it is not at all resistant to active rnan—iu—th§;
`gddl_<_:; a__tj;ag_.1gs. If a third party can impersonate Bob to Alice and vice versa, then no useful secret
`can be created. Authentication is a prerequisite for safe Diffie-Hellman key exchange.
`
`IPSEC can use any of several authenjcicatiygn mechanisirns. Those supported by FreeS/WAN are
`discussed in our
`document.
`
`Digital signature
`Take a inemsswagedigest of a document and encrypt it with your private key for some public,1_<:§_y
`s3£3!T£2I<_2_S_3{§!:_<_3,t_1_:r. I can decrypt with your public key and verify that the result matches the digest I
`calculate. This proves that the encrypted digest was created with your private key.
`
`Such an encrypted message digest can be treated as a signattire since it cannot be created Without
`both the document and the private key which only you should possess. The legal issues are
`complex, but several countries are moving in the direction of Iegal recognition for digital
`signatures.

`
`The sequence is:
`o Encrypt with keyl
`o Decrypt with kcy2
`.
`- Encrypt with key3
`For the two~key version, keyl=lrey3.
`
`The "advantage" of this EDE order of operations is that it makes it simple to interoperate with
`older devices offering only single DES. Set key1=key2~=l<ey3 and you have the worst of both
`worlds, the overhead of triple DES with the security of single DES. Since _s_i_ngle_L2_E_S_,_is__‘,i_nsecp,re,
`this is a rather dubious "advantage".
`
`The EDE two—l<ey variant can also interoperate with the EDE three—key variant used in _I_1?_S_.,EQ;
`just set k1=k3.

`Extruded subnet
`i
`_
`A situation in which something IP sees as one network is actually in two or more places.
`
`For example, the Internet may route all traffic for a particular company to that firnfs corporate
`gateway. It then becomes the company's problem to get packets to various machines on their
`fllmefi in various departments. They may decide to treat abranch office tike a subnet, giving it IP
`addresses "on" their corporate net. This becomes an extruded subnet.
`'
`
`Packets bound for it are delivered to the corporate gateway, since as far as the outside world is
`concerned, that subnet is part of the corporate network. However, instead of going onto the
`corporate LAN (as they would for, say, the accounting department) they are then encapsulated and
`sent back onto the Internet for delivery to the branch office.

`- For HMAC usage, you initiaiise the internal variables from the key. Only someone with the

`The exact techniques used in
