A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.
This draft is a work item of the IP over DVB Working Group of the IETF.

    Title        : Address Resolution for IP Datagrams over MPEG-2 Networks
    Author(s)    : G. Fairhurst, M. Montpetit
    Filename    : draft-ietf-ipdvb-ar-03.txt
    Pages        : 0
    Date        : 2006-5-3
    
This document describes the process of binding/associating IPv4/IPv6
addresses with MPEG-2 Transport Streams (TS). This procedure is
known as Address Resolution (AR), or Neighbour Discovery (ND). Such
address resolution complements the higher layer resource discovery
tools that are used to advertise IP sessions.
    
In MPEG-2 Networks, an IP address must be associated with a Packet
ID (PID) value and a specific Transmission Multiplex. The document
reviews current methods. It also describes the interaction with
well-known protocols for address management including DHCP, ARP, and
the ND protocol, and provides guidance on usage.

Hi all,

   Can anyone tell which DVB-s receiver card is capable of working with
symbol rate below 1Msps? The WinTV Nova can't work below that rate. I
can't find any datasheet from Hauppage website to confirm the spec of
WinTV NOVA card. I also notice that most cards support 1 - 45 Msps only.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Ang Way Chuang

Hi all,

   Can anyone tell which DVB-s receiver card is capable of working with
symbol rate below 1Msps? The WinTV Nova can't work below that rate. I
can't find any datasheet from Hauppage website to confirm the spec of
WinTV NOVA card. I also notice that most cards support 1 - 45 Msps only.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Ang Way Chuang

May you be well and happy.

The AR draft has been udpated. The authors would like to request 
comments on this version of the draft from the list.

The current I-D is at:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipdvb-ar-03.txt

The differences between this and the previous I-D are at:
http://tools.ietf.org/wg/ipdvb/draft-ietf-ipdvb-ar/draft-ietf-ipdvb-ar-03-from-02.diff.html

To start the process, I am reposting a summary of some of some open 
comments (from a detailed comments to the rev -02 of the AR draft, sent 
by Rupert Goodings), in case you (or anyone else on the list) wish to 
respond and discuss these for the next rev of the document.

Please do send email with anything the authors have missed, or any other
comments!

Best wishes,

Gorry Fairhurst
(as AR I-D co-editor)


---------------
1) AR motivation.

<snip>

This is not an easy call to make in a general document, two-way 
satellite systems (as you hint) do not currently use IETF-defined 
protocols, and perform AR using other means. On the other hand, we've 
seen presentations at the IETF using ND,ARP over UDLR, and IETF-defined 
protocols are used in DOCSIS, etc.........

What else do you think we should/could say?

It is clearly within the Charter of the WG to define a new protocol, 
should there be demand and a clear requirement, and this should be done 
in the IETF. Is there interest in doing this?

---------------
2)  Bridging case.

Some new text added in rev-03, does it address your concerns, or did we 
miss some points?

---------------
2) Multicast AR. PIM, IGMP, ...

What do you suggest we add here, that is important to Address Resolution?

Should we add some text on this?

- If I understood, this concerns the RFC1112  mapping of IPv4
addresses to MAC addresses (and the corresponding IPv6 mapping)
which are static. One problem this raises is a lack of
differentiation between two IP multicast flows that map to the same MAC 
address - examples include:

(i) the "address overlap" (sets of IP (G) map to the same MAC),
(ii) a specified G destination address may be used by two different S
sources in SSM, therefore mapping G to a MAC address is not sufficient.
(iii) a local scope (two IP addresses are in different admin scopes and
hence are not the same group, but map to the same MAC - if sent on the 
same interface)

One solution to this, which came up at the mboned WG sometime ago
was to map some addresses to specific OTHER multicast addresses
using a differentmapping function. Such methods have been proposed
in the context of multicast Internet exchanges using L2 switches
to connect routers, where operators need to provide policy-based 
multicast routing between different exchange points and want to
avoid leaking and forwarding traffic that happens to map to the
same MAC address. This requires a multicast AR method to define
the "exceptions" or new mapping associations and inform all
receivers.

Have I understood your point?
What do you think we should say?

 >>> > [Later I note that the INT does seem to offer support
 >>> > for SSM?]

Yes.

4)  Additional references

Do you have a citation(s) that you think would be useful to relate this
document (e.g. to work within ETSI concerning AR). Provisional document 
titles may be OK, providing these are finalised by the time the I-D 
reaches the RFC-Editor (probably summer 2006).

Hello,
I'm a bit confused, sometime before we received similar draft from P.Pillai
on the same area ( secure ULE).
The security requirements discussed by "draft-ppillai-ipdvb-sule-00.txt" are
already discussed in detail by "draft-cruickshank-ipdvb-sec-req-01.txt".

In general, the DVB terminals are just a forwarders i.e. Forwards IP packets
from DVB interface to Ethernet interface (DVB-S/DVB-RCS) and forwards IP
packets from Ethernet interface to DVB interface (DVB-RCS). They don't do
much packet processing, that makes the DVB terminal simple and cheaper in
performance. I was wondering there was no discussion in these drafts about
the performance issues by implementing these security encryptions and
decryptions. In these drafts it was referred to IPSEC and its
functionalities, but at the same time we should not forget the IPSEC
performance degrades and hardware based accelerators

Hi William,

The draft (draft-ppillai-ipdvb-sule-00.txt) that I submitted a few days b=
ack
(3rd May) was to look into how the different security requirements of dat=
a
confidentiality, data authentication, data integrity and replay attacks
prevention can be met by using a modified ULE SNDU. It is not intended to=
 be a
=93security requirement=94 draft. The reason why I have added the securit=
y
requirement section in my draft is because the security requirements draf=
t
(draft-cruickshank-ipdvb-sec-req-00.txt) that was submitted a few months =
back
did not address all these security requirements.

The new revision of the security draft (draft-cruickshank-ipdvb-sec-req-0=
1.txt)
submitted on the 9th of May now addresses the need for these different se=
curity
features.

I agree with you that there are performance issues when security overhead=
s would
be added to ULE. But this is a price that one has to pay to get the secur=
ity
services. It is a trade-off. Also there are several hardware accelerators
present that do enhance the performances of these security algorithms (bo=
th for
encryption and generation of MACs)

Prashant Pillai

Hi William,

This draft ( draft-cruickshank-ipdvb-sec-req-01.txt) is about specifying
the actual security requirements before talking about solutions.  

Currently, there are two proposed solution: One is Preshant's document
(draft-ppillai-ipdvb-sule-00.txt).  We, the authors of this draft
(draft-cruickshank-ipdvb-sec-req-01.txt) also in the process of
submitting our solution to the ipdvb group. The two solutions have some
similarities and some differences.  We might converge in the future into
one solution.

However, regarding the security requirements, there were several
comments in the past from the ipdvb group about the old version of the
draft (draft-cruickshank-ipdvb-sec-req-00.txt).  The new version address
these issues.

Here is a summary of the major comments raised and the responses that
are included in the new draft:

* Comment: Section 1: Can you also identify what is it that is being
protected? (Security objectives 
** Response: The main objective of this document is to specify the
requirements for securing the link between the Encapsulation Gateways
(ULE source) and Receivers only.  I

* Comment: Section 1.1: SI issues: this document must identify the
control-plane dependencies that are a function of a MPEG-2 transmission
network. In
particular, what are the properties, potential threats, and the security
assumptions (e.g. The device generating MPEG-2 SI are trusted)
** Response: In MPEG-2 transmission network there are several signalling
messages that broadcast by the Network Control Centre (NCC).  Examples
of these signalling messages or (SI tables) are PAT - Program
Association Table, PMT - Program Map Table and NIT - Network Information
Table.  In existing MPEG-2 transmission network, these messages
broadcast in clear (no encryption or integrity checks).  The integrity
of these messages is important for the correct working ULE network.
However, securing these messages is out of scope for ULE security.

* Comment: What are the goals of the security integrity check
** Response: ULE source authentication and its packet integrity checks
are required.

* Comment: Section 3: Layer L2 terminal authentication. This point needs
more elaboration
** Response: This section is combined with the active threats.

*Comment: Section 4.2: There is a need to protect the identity of ULE
encapsulator/Receivers over the ULE broadcast medium; IPsec can not
provide this service. Is it that IPsec can not provide this. Or that
Ipsec is not well-suited to provide this.  The interfaces of these
devices also do not necessarily have IP addresses (they can be L2
devices).
** Response: this text is added  to the draft.

* Comment: Section 5.1: Another disadvantage. There is an additional
issue with key distribution in that a channel needs to be created to
distribute and control the use of the keys. IP-based methods to perform
this are well-known, and do not require new protocol machinery. This
point needs more elaboration
** Response: this text is added.

* Comment: Two other point that were raised in the WG meeting of
IETF-62: Are there any specific requirements on the crypto and IP-based
key management algorithms that can be used with this approach
** Response :  No .

Hello,
I'm a bit confused, sometime before we received similar draft from
P.Pillai on the same area ( secure ULE). The security requirements
discussed by "draft-ppillai-ipdvb-sule-00.txt" are already discussed in
detail by "draft-cruickshank-ipdvb-sec-req-01.txt".

In general, the DVB terminals are just a forwarders i.e. Forwards IP
packets from DVB interface to Ethernet interface (DVB-S/DVB-RCS) and
forwards IP packets from Ethernet interface to DVB interface (DVB-RCS).
They don't do much packet processing, that makes the DVB terminal simple
and cheaper in performance. I was wondering there was no discussion in
these drafts about the performance issues by implementing these security
encryptions and decryptions. In these drafts it was referred to IPSEC
and its functionalities, but at the same time we should not forget the
IPSEC performance degrades and hardware based accelerators

Prashat,

Thanks for submitting your draft. Focussing for the moment on the=20
security requirements and architecture:

Are there any issues that you think you should be addressed in the=20
security requirements document that are not currently captured in draft -=
01?

Or any areas that you think should also be considered?

Hi Gorry and Haitham,

The new version of the draft (draft-cruichshank-ipdvb-sec-req-01.txt) add=
resses
most of the security requirements that shall/may be required for the ULE =
links.
I have just a few comments on the draft.

1. Is there a particular reason why the security measurements are only ta=
ken for
wireless MPEG2 networks (as indicated in the Introduction section)? Why a=
re the
wireline MPEG2 networks more secure? I think that the security requiremen=
ts
should be for any MPEG2 networks, wired or wireless.

2. Network access control is also an important security requirement. Ther=
e is no
point to just secure the user traffic, when this user has not been authen=
ticated
and authorised for the connection. This may be coupled with key managemen=
t.

3. This document aims to basically highlight the security requirements th=
at are
important for securing (just) the MPEG2 link. Hence this is important fro=
m the
point of view of the MPEG2 Network Provider (NP).  As the MPEG2 Network
provider has no control on any end-to-end security mechanism, it is somet=
hing
that should not directly affect the security requirements on the ULE Link=
. ULE
Security should aim to provide all the security requirements. The text le=
ads to
confusion where the Section 2, Last paragraph mentions that the ULE
authentication and Integrity are required especially because active attac=
ks are
possible at the receiver end; while Section 3 suddenly states that these =
are
optional requirements.

There are contradicting sentences in the document, like in Section 5 2nd =
para,
the documents says that =93ULE link security is considered as an addition=
al
security mechanism to IP transport and application Layer security.=94 But=
 the
very next sentence says that =93It should provide similar functions to th=
at of
IPsec=85=94. It leads to a confusion as to why to we need same level of s=
ecurity at
two layers.

I agree with the fact that ULE security should provide high security simi=
lar to
IPSec, but just because their may be end-to-end mechanism present (which =
the
MPEG2 network provider cannot control anyways) we should not decide that =
the
other requirements (like source authentication, integrity etc) are option=
al.

4. There are quite a few typo errors in the document, but I guess this is=
 not so
important at this moment and could be looked into when we submit the draf=
t as a
WG item.

Prashant Pillai

Hi Gorry and Haitham,=0A=

The new version of the draft (draft-cruichshank-ipdvb-sec-req-01.txt) addre=
sses=0A=
most of the security requirements that shall/may be required for the ULE li=
nks.=0A=
I have just a few comments on the draft.=0A=
=0A=
1. Is there a particular reason why the security measurements are only take=
n for=0A=
wireless MPEG2 networks (as indicated in the Introduction section)? Why are=
 the=0A=
wireline MPEG2 networks more secure? I think that the security requirements=
=0A=
should be for any MPEG2 networks, wired or wireless.=0A=
=0A=
Haitham: You are right the requirements should cover both wired and wireles=
s environment. However, wireless environment is more vulnerable to security=
 attacks. For example eavesdroping is easier in wireless broadcast networks.=
=0A=
=0A=
2. Network access control is also an important security requirement. There =
is no=0A=
point to just secure the user traffic, when this user has not been authenti=
cated=0A=
and authorised for the connection. This may be coupled with key management.=
=0A=
=0A=
Haitham: I agree. The draft does address this issues.  May be we need to ma=
ke it clearer.=0A=
=0A=
3. This document aims to basically highlight the security requirements that=
 are=0A=
important for securing (just) the MPEG2 link. Hence this is important from =
the=0A=
point of view of the MPEG2 Network Provider (NP).  As the MPEG2 Network=0A=
provider has no control on any end-to-end security mechanism, it is somethi=
ng=0A=
that should not directly affect the security requirements on the ULE Link. =
ULE=0A=
Security should aim to provide all the security requirements. The text lead=
s to=0A=
confusion where the Section 2, Last paragraph mentions that the ULE=0A=
authentication and Integrity are required especially because active attacks=
 are=0A=
possible at the receiver end; while Section 3 suddenly states that these are=
=0A=
optional requirements.=0A=
=0A=
Haitham: There are two points here: One, is interworking of end-to-end and =
ULE link security. The draft highlights the fact that ULE security should n=
ot be an obstacle against end-to-end security, if such service exists. For =
example, if IPsec or transport layer end-to-end security is used, then ULE =
security should allow passing such traffic as long as it is compliant with =
general rules and plocies of that MPEG-2 transmission network. The second p=
oint is the optional authentication and Integrity: The reason is that we wa=
nt to leave a flexibility for the MPEG-2 transmission network to implement =
it depending on the specific policies for each service. Some services might=
 not need authentication or data integrity. Any comments from ipdvb group a=
re welcome on this issue.=0A=
=0A=
There are contradicting sentences in the document, like in Section 5 2nd pa=
ra,=0A=
the documents says that "ULE link security is considered as an additional=
=0A=
security mechanism to IP transport and application Layer security." But the=
=0A=
very next sentence says that "It should provide similar functions to that of=
=0A=
IPsec...". It leads to a confusion as to why to we need same level of secur=

two layers.=0A=
=0A=
Haitham: See answers above.=0A=
=0A=
I agree with the fact that ULE security should provide high security simila=

Hi Gorry and Haitham,

The new version of the draft (draft-cruichshank-ipdvb-sec-req-01.txt) addresses
most of the security requirements that shall/may be required for the ULE links.
I have just a few comments on the draft.

1. Is there a particular reason why the security measurements are only taken for
wireless MPEG2 networks (as indicated in the Introduction section)? Why are the
wireline MPEG2 networks more secure? I think that the security requirements
should be for any MPEG2 networks, wired or wireless.

Haitham: You are right the requirements should cover both wired and wireless environment. However, wireless environment is more vulnerable to security attacks. For example eavesdroping is easier in wireless broadcast networks.

2. Network access control is also an important security requirement. There is no
point to just secure the user traffic, when this user has not been authenticated
and authorised for the connection. This may be coupled with key management.

Haitham: I agree. The draft does address this issues.  May be we need to make it clearer.

3. This document aims to basically highlight the security requirements that are
important for securing (just) the MPEG2 link. Hence this is important from the
point of view of the MPEG2 Network Provider (NP).  As the MPEG2 Network
provider has no control on any end-to-end security mechanism, it is something
that should not directly affect the security requirements on the ULE Link. ULE
Security should aim to provide all the security requirements. The text leads to
confusion where the Section 2, Last paragraph mentions that the ULE
authentication and Integrity are required especially because active attacks are
possible at the receiver end; while Section 3 suddenly states that these are
optional requirements.

Haitham: There are two points here: One, is interworking of end-to-end and ULE link security. The draft highlights the fact that ULE security should not be an obstacle against end-to-end security, if such service exists. For example, if IPsec or transport layer end-to-end security is used, then ULE security should allow passing such traffic as long as it is compliant with general rules and plocies of that MPEG-2 transmission network. The second point is the optional authentication and Integrity: The reason is that we want to leave a flexibility for the MPEG-2 transmission network to implement it depending on the specific policies for each service. Some services might not need authentication or data integrity. Any comments from ipdvb group are welcome on this issue.

There are contradicting sentences in the document, like in Section 5 2nd para,
the documents says that "ULE link security is considered as an additional
security mechanism to IP transport and application Layer security." But the
very next sentence says that "It should provide similar functions to that of
IPsec...". It leads to a confusion as to why to we need same level of security at
two layers.

Haitham: See answers above.

I agree with the fact that ULE security should provide high security similar to
IPSec, but just because their may be end-to-end mechanism present (which the
MPEG2 network provider cannot control anyways) we should not decide that the
other requirements (like source authentication, integrity etc) are optional.

Haitham: See answers above.

4. There are quite a few typo errors in the document, but I guess this is not so
important at this moment and could be looked into when we submit the draft as a
WG item.

Haitham: Thanks.

Hi Haitham,

I have a few more comments on the draft:

1. As stated in Section 3 =96 =93Data confidentiality is the major requir=
ement
against passive threats (using encryption).  L2 encryption or L3 (IPsec)
Encryption can satisfy this requirement=94.  I disagree with this. L3 (IP=
SEC)
Encryption would not be able to prevent passice threats like traffic anal=
ysis
as the outer IP header is not encrypted. The only drive to provide L2 sec=
urity
is to provide encryption of the complete higher layer packets to prevent =
any
traffic analysis.

2. Regarding the optional authentication and integrity. I think we need t=
o be
careful with the wording in the draft.

- Is there a requirement for an =93optional authenticity/integrity mechan=
ism=94
(like you said that some service may not need it)? or
- Is there a definite requirement for authenticity/integrity mechanism ov=
er the
MPEG2 link? This may be optional at the ULE level when other
authentication/integrity mechanisms at other layers may be present (like =
IPSEC
AH or ESP with Auth).

I prefer the second option which emphasises on the requirement for
authenticity/integrity but keeps it as an optional service at ULE. Could =
the
other members of the group also voice their opinion on this?

3. Who would be in-charge of selecting the Secure ULE level =96 the user =
or the
NCC? Does the NCC decide on the level of security to be used (according t=
o the
user profile, pricing plan, etc) or can the user select the level of secu=
rity
(so the user can select different security levels for different sessions)=
?

4. What about content protection? Do we need to address the
support/interoperability with content protection mechanism (like DRM)?

5. What about Interworking with existing lower layer security mechanisms
especially the ones specified in DVB RCS (MKE, EKE, QKE)? Do we expect a =
user
to perform DVB RCS security setup (using MKE, EKE, QKE), then perform ano=
ther
set of security setup for Secure ULE (using GDOI/GSAKMP etc) and then a f=
inal
end-to-end IPSEC setup (using IKE/ISAKMP or even  GDOI/GSAKMP etc)?

Prashant

Hi Haitham,

I have a few more comments on the draft:

1. As stated in Section 3 - "Data confidentiality is the major
requirement against passive threats (using encryption).  L2 encryption
or L3 (IPsec) Encryption can satisfy this requirement".  I disagree with
this. L3 (IPSEC) Encryption would not be able to prevent passice threats
like traffic analysis as the outer IP header is not encrypted. The only
drive to provide L2 security is to provide encryption of the complete
higher layer packets to prevent any traffic analysis.

Haitham: As you know that if IPsec is used in Tunnel mode then it will
protect the inner IP header from traffic analysis.  Of course, we have
to live with the overheads of IPsec tunnel mode.

2. Regarding the optional authentication and integrity. I think we need
to be careful with the wording in the draft.

- Is there a requirement for an "optional authenticity/integrity
mechanism" (like you said that some service may not need it)? or
- Is there a definite requirement for authenticity/integrity mechanism
over the MPEG2 link? This may be optional at the ULE level when other
authentication/integrity mechanisms at other layers may be present (like
IPSEC AH or ESP with Auth).

I prefer the second option which emphasises on the requirement for
authenticity/integrity but keeps it as an optional service at ULE. Could
the other members of the group also voice their opinion on this?

3. Who would be in-charge of selecting the Secure ULE level - the user
or the NCC? Does the NCC decide on the level of security to be used
(according to the user profile, pricing plan, etc) or can the user
select the level of security (so the user can select different security
levels for different sessions)?

Haitham: The draft states that the ULE link security focuses on security
between the Encapsulation Gateways (ULE source) and Receivers.  The
level of security such as encryption key length and data integrity
methods are part of key management exchange that should happen before
ULE encryption or data integrity is performed.


4. What about content protection? Do we need to address the
support/interoperability with content protection mechanism (like DRM)?

Haitham:  I think this is out of scope for ipdvb group.

5. What about Interworking with existing lower layer security mechanisms
especially the ones specified in DVB RCS (MKE, EKE, QKE)? Do we expect a
user to perform DVB RCS security setup (using MKE, EKE, QKE), then
perform another set of security setup for Secure ULE (using GDOI/GSAKMP
etc) and then a final end-to-end IPSEC setup (using IKE/ISAKMP or even
GDOI/GSAKMP etc)?

Haitham:  The specific link layer system (DVB-RCS) is just one type of
MPEG2- transmission networks.  MKE, EKE and QKE are key agreement
protocols for DVB-RCS.  The ULE security draft mentions that key
management (or key agreement protocols) should be decoupled from the ULE
encryption/integrity.  The reason is that the implementers of ULE
security will be free to choose a suitable key management.  Of course,
the MSEC related protocols (GSAKMP/GDOI ...) are the best choices, in my
opinion.

Hi Haitham,

I agree with you that in the tunnel mode the inner packet is encrypted so
protected from traffic analysis. But the outer IP packet would still have the
IP address of the ULE receiver (which acts as the gateway for the tunnel mode)
at the user end. This could still be used for some form of traffic analysis
(especially as for the MPEG2 network the user would be the ULE receiver and not
the IP hosts connected behind it).

Regards
Prashant

Hi again Prashant,

Yes, you are right. In fact, one of the issues that we need to solve in
the ULE security system, how to hide the identity of the ULE sender and
receivers.  In draft  "draft-cruickshank-ipdvb-sec-01.txt", the proposal
is to use temporary NPA/MAC addresses.

Hi Haitham,

I agree with you that in the tunnel mode the inner packet is encrypted
so protected from traffic analysis. But the outer IP packet would still
have the IP address of the ULE receiver (which acts as the gateway for
the tunnel mode) at the user end. This could still be used for some form
of traffic analysis (especially as for the MPEG2 network the user would
be the ULE receiver and not the IP hosts connected behind it).

Prashant

Following on from what Prashat has been saying, the current text says:

"      - Optional hiding of Layer 2 MAC/NPA address.  This is needed
         particularly in the MPEG-2 broadcast networks to stop an
         intruder gaining information by observing the identity of the
         communicating parties and the volume of their traffic.
              - Layer L2 terminal authentication. This will be part of
         the key management. It will be performed during the initial
         key exchange and authentication phase. "

Some more thoughts:

* It probably is woirth being clear that by "optional" you mean that 
this is only needed in networks that require this additional service, 
and that you do not expect all networks to need to provide identity hiding.

* Is it possible to cite some references to similar services over other 
technologies?

* Some text to say why IPsec cannot provide this service would be good.

* Finally, is the second part meant to be second point? - Thsi notion of 
authentication at L2 seems different to that at L3 (are the goals 
different?).  Is authentication of Receivers optional in the 
architecture or required?

Hi Haitham and Sunny,

I have a few questions regarding your security
draft(draft-cruickshank-ipdvb-sec-01.txt):

1) I am not sure as to what is the main reason for encrypting the entire PDU
including the checksum as indicated by the draft on Page 4? As indicated in the
RFC4326, section 7.2 the receiver should be able validate the CRC as soon as it
gets the complete SNDU in the buffer. I do not think that encrypting of this
CRC is a good idea, as this would violate the standard processing of the ULE
SNDU, where it would be have to skip this CRC check and first perform
decryption of the packets and then come back and perform the CRC check. (Hence
it can no longer be just an extension header for ULE, as the processing has
changed)

2) Even if the CRC is not encrypted, another major conflict in the SNDU format
is the presence of the integrity block after your CRC. At the receiver side as
indicated in the RFC4326, section 7.2 the receiver should be able validate the
CRC as soon as it gets the complete SNDU in the buffer. At this stage the ideal
working of the receiver (for standard ULE) is to take the last 32 bits which
would be the CRC and perform the CRC check. But now the CRC is not at the end
and it may be difficult to extract the CRC from the SNDU especially because the
integrity block has not shown to have fixed size.

3) Also it is not clear why is the CRC required when the integrity block is
present. The integrity block would be using much complex algorithms like HMACs
etc to detect if there is any change in the transmitted data and the received
data. This change could have resulted by an attacker modifying the message or
could have also been due to transmission/processing errors. In either case the
packets should be discarded. So does this not mean that the CRC is only
duplicating the work and may not be really required when we have a stronger
integrity block?

Regards
Prashant

decryption of the packets and then come back and perform the CRC check. (Hence
it can no longer be just an extension header for ULE, as the processing has
changed)

2) Even if the CRC is not encrypted, another major conflict in the SNDU format
is the presence of the integrity block after your CRC. At the receiver side as
indicated in the RFC4326, section 7.2 the receiver should be able validate the
CRC as soon as it gets the complete SNDU in the buffer. At this stage the ideal
working of the receiver (for standard ULE) is to take the last 32 bits which

Prashant: The security processing should not be done before the CRC check and
handling of the SNDU. This would violate the normal processing of the ULE SNDU
and this would not be a standard extension (as you have proposed) as descirbed
in the ULE RFC. If this is supposed to be a standard header extension (as
described in Section 5 of RFC 4326) then the processing of the extension header
(in this case the security extension header) should take place only after the
the CRC check. Gorry, am I correct in saying this?

Prashant: The integrity block may increase complexity but there is definitely no
use to have them both.

Prashant: This is what I had proposed in my
draft(draft-ppillai-ipdvb-sule-00.txt). But you have to be careful as you have
proposed that the integrity block is optional. And also removing the CRC
modifies the recevier processing of the SNDU as explanined in my draft. And
this would not be a standard extension header.

The CRC also protects all extension headers, so it should be verified 
before inspecting/processing any extension headers.
If you do not generate ULE SNDUs following the general format, you will 
get lots of ugly CRC errors at non-ULE-security-aware receivers.

Repeating the question from Prashant:
What is the reason for encrypting the whole SNDU including the CRC32?

Is it a check if decryption was successful, thus avoiding to get wrong 
data up the receiver stack, e.g. if the transmitter/receiver keys are 
out of sync?

Cheers,
Christian.

Gorry: Extension headers do not impact the CRC-32. It therefore seems most
desirable to use a security format that preserves the ULE framing and CRC
usage that was defined in RFC 4326.

I'd like to see the integrity requirements expressed clearer in the

Do we need a stronger check than a CRC-32 at the link layer? - there seems
to be a trade-off between overhead and strength of check.

Hi Sunny,

I also wanted to ask one more thing- What is the reason to have an encrypted
Type field? What do we need to protect it for?

Prashant

Hi Haitham,

In my opinion there are two alternatives for the CRC problem: The first i=
s to
replace the CRC completly with the Integrity block. The receivers who are=
 not
configured for security will still use the CRC, while the others that are
configured for security would expect to have an integrity block at the en=
d of
the SNDU instead of the CRC and hence have to just skip the CRC check.
Christian, how feasible do you think this is?

I have another alternate solution for the Secure ULE. I think this could =
be used
in the combined security draft that we plan to write together.

The security extension header would be in complete accordance with the RF=

The processing of the ULE SNDU would also remain the same, and there woul=

Two new fields have been added:
S =96 Set to 1 if Sequence number is present else set to 0
A =96 Set to 1 of Message Authentication Code (Integrity block) is presen=

The ULE_secuirity_ID could be used to search the SAD to see if the option=

should provide faster processing of the SNDU (less searching from the
database).

The MAC would provide authenticity/integrity for the encrypted block (als=

the sequence number if required).

The processing steps at the transmitter would be:
i) The higher layer PDU is encrypted.
ii) The Encrypted PDU + Sequence Number + Key is used for generation of M=
AC
iii) Add all fields in the SNDU and then finally calculata the CRC and ad=

The processing steps at the receiver would be:
i) Perform CRC Check, Discard if mistmatch
ii) ULE SNDU processing starts, sees that it is the mandatory security ex=

header, reads the ULE SID
iii) The next two fields can be used to see if the optional sequence numb=

iv) If Sequence number is present, then it would be verified to prevent r=

v) Next the MAC is verified to make sure that there has been no modificat=

The security extension header would be in complete accordance with the RF=
C
4326.
The processing of the ULE SNDU would also remain the same, and there woul=
d
be no
violations. When the SNDU is received in the buffer, first the CRC check =
is
performed and then passed up for the processing of the SNDU.

Two new fields have been added:
S =A8C Set to 1 if Sequence number is present else set to 0
A =A8C Set to 1 of Message Authentication Code (Integrity block) is prese=
nt

The ULE_secuirity_ID could be used to search the SAD to see if the option=
al
fields are present or not. But I Prefer to have the two 1-bit fields whic=
h
should provide faster processing of the SNDU (less searching from the
database).

The MAC would provide authenticity/integrity for the encrypted block (als=
o
for
the sequence number if required).

The processing steps at the transmitter would be:
i) The higher layer PDU is encrypted.
ii) The Encrypted PDU + Sequence Number + Key is used for generation of M=
AC
iii) Add all fields in the SNDU and then finally calculata the CRC and ad=
d
it in
the end.

The processing steps at the receiver would be:
i) Perform CRC Check, Discard if mistmatch
ii) ULE SNDU processing starts, sees that it is the mandatory security
extension
header, reads the ULE SID
iii) The next two fields can be used to see if the optional sequence numb=
er
and
MAC are present or not
iv) If Sequence number is present, then it would be verified to prevent
replayed
packets
v) Next the MAC is verified to make sure that there has been no
modifications to
the PDU
vi) Finally the decryption of the higher layer PDU is done and the PDU is
passed
up.

There has been some discussion of requirements and objectives on this list
(and one new I-D with a security requirements section). I hope the
requirements I-D could be sufficiently well developed that we can table this
at the next IETF as a potential WG draft. It would now seem a good time to
try to capture this discussion by adding text to the security requirements
I-D. Would one of the current authors be willing to draft some modified text
based on these discussions and to update their I-D?

I'd also be interested to hear from others on the list who have experience
with security protocols or understand requirements.

Best wishes,

Gorry Fairhurst
(ipdvb WG Chair)

Dear All,

I have read the draft Address Resolution for IP Datagrams over
MPEG-2 Networks (draft-ietf-ipdvb-ar-03.txt) and got to some
questions.

Some nits:
-  In Section 6.2, 6.3, and 6.4 it reads that the Ethernet Type  
(EtherType) is
    IANA assigned. This is IMO wrong, since the Ethernet Types are  
allocated
    by the IEEE. IANA only maintains a list of used (or once seen) types
    (http://www.iana.org/assignments/ethernet-numbers).

- The section heading of 5.1 is too long, i.e., it is wrapped into  
two lines.

- I assume the document should be the part on Submit AR Framework to
   IESG of the WG charter. If so, it would be good if the document  
title or
   the introduction would reflect this.

Overall comments:

As stated in the above section about nits, I assume the document should
give the framework of address resolution for IP datagrams over MPEG-2
networks.

The document gives an excellent overview about the actuall problem
to be solved and the existing address resolution mechanisms in the IP
world plus their mapping to MPEG-2 networks. The coverage of not only
one technology but the inclusion of DVB, ATSC, DOCSIS and the
respective variants in system tables is very helpful to understand
the problem space and the trickiness of a fits all solution :-)

After reading the whole document I have been nevertheless confused
about it. When reading the title, I would expect a solution and after
reading the document I did not know what the real conclusion of
the document is. There are recommendations for the single
technologies/techniques, which are fully OK, but what would be the
next steps towards the address resolution solution? Can we reuse
the existing protocols or do we need to go ahead with a new
AR protocol (as the WG charter would let assume)?

Kind Regards,

     Martin Stiemerling
