The pre-shared key in IPsec (really IKE) is for authentication of an 
IKE SA. The key used to protect traffic (integrity and 
confidentiality) is the result of a ephemeral DH exchange, and is 
thus unique per SA. Also, multiple SAs between a pair of peers is 
supported. If the IKE authentication key is changed at one peer 
during the life of an SA, that does not affect the extent SA. Given 
this more detailed characterization of keying for IPsec, I'm not sure 
what aspects of IPsec keying you were alluding to above.

AH, this is what you were trying to say! Yes, if one peer changes an 
IKE authentication key AND the other end has not changed to that key, 
AND if the SA needs to be replaced, then creation of the new SA would 
fail. But, you have not described examples of circumstances that 
would trigger the need to create a new SA. If one uses the MD5 
option, as soon as the key is changed at either end, that would seem 
to kill the existing TCP connection, which requires much more careful 
sync of key changes compared to IPsec use. Certainly one needs to be 
careful to avoid an auth key change near the time that an SA would 
timeout, based on the SA lifetime parameters.

Given the different use of the IKE auth key, vs. the traffic keys, 
one also needs to ask what frequency of auth key change is 
appropriate.

DPD will kill the IKE SA if there is a temporary network disruption
while the key change is in progress.

Regardless, the IPSEC key turnover is more robust with respect to
synchronization when compared to TCP-MD5.

That raises the issue of whether short-timeout DPD makes sense in this 
environment.  I suspect that it does not.  Routers don't change the IP 
address they use for BGP particularly often.  BGP peering associations 
come and go on a scale of weeks, not hours; you're unlikely to recover 
resources you need for another BGP-over-IPsec session.  And outages 
tend not to be permanent; they last until the fiber rangers drive off 
the predatory backhoes.

For that matter, the need for an SA operation to rekey is very 
different for BGP.  This is an authentication key, not a 
confidentiality key; it does an attacker no good to to recover a key 
after it's no longer in use.  

My suggestion is to turn off DPD and have a session key lifetime 
measured in days or possibly a small number of weeks, to permit easy 
synchronization of changes to long-term secrets.

I'm an IPsec novice, so please pardon the naive question: would this
permit keys to change without breaking the TCP connection?  IMHO, this
is an absolute requirement, as we have enough BGP flap out there already.

If properly implemented, it would.  In fact, it's a major advantage of 
IPsec over TCP-MD5.  The IPsec header includes an "SPI" -- security 
parameter index -- that identifies (among other things) the actual key 
used to protect the packet.  During rekeying (which doesn't need to be 
too frequent in any event, as I mentioned) more than one SPI is 
accepted by the receiver; thus, both old and new keys can be accepted.

With IKEv1, you could rekey the IKE SA without rekeying the IPSEC SAs or
vice versa.

IKEv2 coupled the two together, but I think rekeying the parent SA (IKE)
without
rekeying the children remains possible.

IPSEC SAs are the ones that protect the BGP traffic.

Folks,

Please review the draft at the following URL:

   http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-bonica-tcp-auth-04.txt

An abstract follows:

   "This memo describes a TCP extension that enhances security for BGP,
   LDP and other TCP-based protocols.  It is intended for applications
   where secure administrative access to both the end-points of the TCP
   connection is normally available.  TCP peers can use this extension
   to authenticate messages passed between one another.

   The strategy described herein improves upon current practice, which
   is described in RFC 2385.  Using this new strategy, TCP peers can
   update authentication keys during the lifetime of a TCP connection.
   TCP peers can also use stronger authentication algorithms to
   authenticate routing messages."

                                   Ron

Y'all:

A second attempt.... See below for a proposed new charter. This should 
be one of the items on the WG meeting agenda at Dallas. I've taken out 
the first work item, although I'm not certain it's the right thing to do.

Please comment, so we can see if there's concensus to move forward.

Thanks!

The lack of a common set of security requirements and methods for
routing protocols has resulted in a wide variety of security
mechanisms for individual routing protocols. Ongoing work on
requirements for the next generation routing system and future work on
the actual mechanisms for it will require well documented routing
security requirements.

The products of this working group will be used by routing protocol
designers to ensure adequate coverage of security in the future,
including well known and possible threats.

The scope of work is limited to router-to-router protocols for unicast
and multicast systems, and does NOT include host-to-router protocol
such as IGMP, ICMP, ARP, or ND. It is also a non-goal at this point to
produce new or change the current security mechanisms in the existing
routing protocols.

The RPSEC working group is charged with the following tasks:

- - Document threat models for routing systems

- - Document security requirements for routing systems

- - Document security analysis and requirements for specific routing
   protocols (e.g., OSPF, BGP)

- - Provide a common area for discussion between security and routing
   experts on the topic of securing the routing system

Goals and Milestones:

July 06 Submit BGP Attack-Tree analysis for publication as
Informational RFC.

July 06 Submit OSPF vulnerability analysis for publication as
Informational RFC.

July 06 Submit BGP security requirements for publication as
Informational RFC.

December 06 Submit initial document discussing security requirements in an
OSPFv3 mobile ad hoc environment

December 06 Evaluate progress, recharter with new goals or shutdown.

Still, it is true that there is increased risk during the occasional 
change of IKE pre-shared authentication key. There must exist a window 
during which two operational staffs agree to change the key and hope 
that a) they both change the key before the IKE SA lifetime is over, and 
b) that neither BGP router reboots. (The latter case will of course 
bring down the BGP session anyway, but if the IKE authentication keys 
don't match no subsequent BGP session can be setup.)

This is *far* less risky than use of RFC 2385. But a risk still exists, 
which is why I said earlier that the operators needed to evaluate the 
risk and decide whether they could live with it or not. (Thanks, Shane 
for sharing your view that the risk *would* be acceptable.)

With IPSec and IKE the keys could well be public-key certificates 
valid for year(s)[1]. Expiry would be known *well* in advance and 
could be done well in advance as part of planned maintenance, without 
co-ordination.

Ie worrying about PSK updates is, imho, possibly short-sighted.

1. Some RIRs already operate as PKI cert. authorities. Whatever form 
of secure BGP is adopted likely will just further reinforce the need 
for RIRs to operate as in such a role.

Could you clarify this last statement ?

i.e. Under what conditions would a subsequent BGP session start up?

I'm all in favor of that approach, although it does imply the 
capability to process certs.

SIDR has a charter item that talks about certs being issued to for 
authorization and authentication in support of routing security. 
Certs issued by RIRs (and by ISPs), to attest to address space and AS 
number holdings are consistent with these charter items.

In discussions on the list, use of the cert extensions defined in RFC 
3779 was cited as a likely starting point for this infrastructure. 
This would provide an ISP with the ability to issue certs to its 
routers, identifying them as being affiliated with the AS number(s) 
of the ISP. That seems to be a reasonable basis for deciding whether 
a router is an appropriate peer. So, yes, I think we may head down a 
path that would provide certs suitable for use with IPsec in securing 
(e)BGP sessions.

Russ,

I think the discussion over the last couple of weeks suggests that 
adding a new, narrowly-defined charter item to address point-to-point 
security to protect BGP sessions between border routers is worthwhile 
and has support from  a number of WG members.

Maybe we need to start with a requirements document, and then move on 
to consider the proposals that are being put forth.

Steve

I would suggest that there is a difference between generating requirements 
and considering proposed solutions

I thought the plan was to define requrements in RPSEC and look at solutions 
in other working groups, such as SIDR.

If we decide to go the way of certs, I think we need to make sure
that we don't end up with a serious bootstrapping problem.

That is,=20

1) Need network to validate cert
2) Need validated cert to get the network going
3) Go to step 1

I do not think the capability to process certs is especially
difficult to add to a box that is capable of running BGP.

For the bootstrap problem, I guess we could use a model similar to
SSL certs as they exist in browsers today.

There was quite a bit of talk about this a while back on this list, I
think.

Bora

Yes, but that still requires a charter change in rpsec, to do the req's doc.

Below is the latest I have....

Thoughts welcome. We'll probably sumbit this to the IESG in about a 
week's time unless there's a large discussion and more changes.

Thanks!

The lack of a common set of security requirements and methods for
routing protocols has resulted in a wide variety of security
mechanisms for individual routing protocols. Ongoing work on
requirements for the next generation routing system and future work on
the actual mechanisms for it will require well documented routing
security requirements.

The products of this working group will be used by routing protocol
designers to ensure adequate coverage of security in the future,
including well known and possible threats.

The scope of work is limited to router-to-router protocols for unicast
and multicast systems, and does NOT include host-to-router protocol
such as IGMP, ICMP, ARP, or ND. It is also a non-goal at this point to
produce new or change the current security mechanisms in the existing
routing protocols.

The RPSEC working group is charged with the following tasks:

- - Document threat models for routing systems

- - Document security requirements for routing systems

- - Document security analysis and requirements for specific routing
   protocols (e.g., OSPF, BGP)

- - Provide a common area for discussion between security and routing
   experts on the topic of securing the routing system

Goals and Milestones:

July 06 Submit BGP Attack-Tree analysis for publication as
Informational RFC.

July 06 Submit OSPF vulnerability analysis for publication as
Informational RFC.

July 06 Submit BGP security requirements for publication as
Informational RFC.

July 06 Initial draft of requirements for point-to-point security of
BGP peering sessions.

December 06 Submit initial document discussing security requirements in 
an OSPFv3 mobile ad hoc environment

December 06 Evaluate progress, recharter with new goals or shutdown.

Bora,

Good observation re the potential circularity.

However, with appropriate caching it is not always necessary to use 
the net to access data for cert validation. Cert chains and OCSP 
responses or CRLs can be passed between peers, for example, to avoid 
the need to retrieve this data from repositories. With reasonable 
parameters for the required "freshness" for revocation status data, 
this should all be manageable.

Steve

It's not being short-sighted, it's being pragmatic. You're absolutely 
correct about public-key certificates conveniently solving the key 
rollover problem. But to use public-key certificates exclusively, an ISP 
must agree to share a Certificate Authority with every one of its peers 
(i.e., competitors) as well as its customers.  And practically speaking, 
those CAs will need to be arranged in a PKI.

There is no such PKI today. (RIR CAs aren't building certificates for 
*routers*). As Steve Kent points out, there may in the future be a large 
PKI structure for routing which could provide router certificates. But 
large PKIs don't get put in place quickly. Pre-shared keys are are a 
necessity for some time to come.

Pre-shared keys are much easier to deal with in many cases - if I  
turn up a new router it is much easier to just paste a pre-shared key  
into the config than to go to my CA, generate a key and cert request,  
sign the cert request, copy the new cert and key, etc. This is  
especially true for smaller, less technical companies - I think that  
you will find that the majority of IPSec deployed in smaller  
companies use pre-shared keys because of their ease of use.

Changing a pre-shared key (or a bunch of pre-shared keys) is also  
much easier than having to change all of your certs if the person  
running your CA leaves the company (or your CA gets compromised).

Don't get me wrong, I am not denying the increased security and (in  
most cases) increased ease of management of certificates, just that  
pre-shared keys have their place too.

Nor would they in the future, one strongly hopes.

Indeed. And despite the lack of any IDR security solution involving 
PKI, some RIRs still seem to be investigating it and either are 
experimenting with PKI infrastructure related directly to routing, or 
gaining operational PKI experience in other ways.

It's a question for the operational community more than anything, but 
I have a suspicion they'd welcome something better than statically 
keyed transport security. But:

> Pre-shared keys are are a necessity for some time to come.

Yes, agreed. And as already stated an IKE implementation can allow 
for PSK changeover too, with just a mild amount of care. Failing 
that, the care can still potentially be applied administratively.

IMHO we would do our "users" a huge favour to adopt IPSec as 
transport security for BGP, agreeing on a small set of required 
'profiles' (as someone suggested), and then deprecate TCP-MD5.

We'd gain for operators a wider choice in additional authentication 
methods, all far more manageable than shared-keys (e.g. RADIUS and 
GSS methods for within a single administrative domain, maybe even 
IXes).

It'd also allow the RIRs to figure out details of and gain 
operational PKI experience of cross-domain authentication while work 
in SIDR would be (presumably) ongoing. Which potentially could be 
useful to SIDR itself.
