I was just working on implementing draft-harris-ssh-rsa-kex-01, and I
ran into a question.

Everything is clear for the first kex.  But what about re-keying?  Is
the server reusing the same K_T as for a previous kex a MUST, SHOULD,
MAY, SHOULD NOT, or MUST NOT?

My intention was that different key exchanges (whether in the same or
different sessions) SHOULD use different RSA keys, largely so as to limit
that number of session keys that an attacker gains access to by cracking a
single RSA key.  I seem to have forgotten to actually write that down
anywhere, though.  I'll fix that in -02.

This does make rekeying a bit of a pain for a single-threaded (or rather,
single-thread-per-session) server, but that's why it's a SHOULD.

That would be good.  Since it appears to be designed as an adaptation
of historical ssh1 practice to the ssh2 world, I would have assumed
there was an expectation that different sessions share the same K_T
when they occurred within reasonable temporal proximity to one another
(since something very much like that is what ssh1 did).

It's also a pain for any server running on hardware slow enough that
generating a key is an expensive operation.

I suspect what I'll do is simply use the most current available key at
any time (blocking if no key has been generated yet) and kick off a new
key generation in the background whenever a key is used.  Arranging to
background key generation should be interesting, but, I believe,
thoroughly solvable....

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

	Title		: GSSAPI Authentication and Key Exchange for the Secure 
			  Shell Protocol
	Author(s)	: J. Hutzelman, et al.
	Filename	: draft-ietf-secsh-gsskeyex-09.txt
	Pages		: 34
	Date		: 2005-5-9
	
The Secure Shell protocol (SSH) is a protocol for secure remote login
   and other secure network services over an insecure network.

   The Generic Security Service Application Program Interface (GSS-API)
   [GSSAPI] provides security services to callers in a mechanism-
   independent fashion.

Hi.

The IESG has received a request to publish
draft-harris-ssh-arcfour-fixes-02 as a proposed standard.  I'm aware
that this draft has been discussed by participants in the secsh
working group.

Does the secsh working group wish to adopt this draft as a work item
or shall I proceed with this draft as an individual submission?

(There's a third option: the working group could argue that this draft
should not be published at all.  Based on discussion on the list I
don't expect this option to be taken.)

I was looking up a past message at 
<ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf-mail-archive/secsh> just now, and noticed that 
our mail archive stops on 2005-04-14.  Does anyone know who to poke to get 
it going again?  The private archive on mail.netbsd.org could be used to 
fill in the gap if necessary.

Last time this was mentioned (in March, ISTR), there was no comment on
Bill Sommerfeld's suggestion that it be sent to the IESG as an individual
submission.  I don't know about anyone else, but I couldn't see any
great advantage to turning it into a WG document, so I submitted it
individually.

I think handling it as an individual submission is fine, but the
working group effectively gets right of first refusal.

Just so this doesn't happen out of sheer apathy...

What advantage would there be to the working group
taking this on as opposed to it proceeding as an
individual submission?

I asked this question of the working group about a month ago and got an
apathetic response.

I don't see any requirement for the WG to take ownership.

as WG chair I don't see any problem with this going forward as an
individual submission.

I actually think there are advantages to it going forward as an
individual submission provided the quality is reasonable.  IT can go
faster.

The working group should take the document if it believes it needs
consensus-based revisions or believes the review it will get as an
individual submission would be insufficient.

Is there any likelihood of the draft-ietf-secsh-break being revived?  It's 
reasonably simple and seems to be widely implemented.  I'm happy to take 
on the job of editing it if necessary.

Yes!! It has been on my todo list for 6 weeks now!

If you wouild please just edit it with the IDNITS fixed and the Informative 
references updated, I'd appreciate that and resubmit it to the WG.  I just 
haven't had time.

Thanks!

I've done that, and put it at
<http://bjh21.me.uk/junk/draft-ietf-secsh-break-04a.xml> and
<http://bjh21.me.uk/junk/draft-ietf-secsh-break-04a.txt>.

I've also corrected various other problems (unexplained abbreviations, 
references in the Abstract, miscapitalisation of "Telnet", no reference to 
RFC 2119, no explanation of data types, incorrect informative/normative 
split, and maybe others) and put the result at
<http://bjh21.me.uk/junk/draft-ietf-secsh-break-04b.xml> and
<http://bjh21.me.uk/junk/draft-ietf-secsh-break-04b.txt>.

Use whichever you want, and I'm sorry for the delay in sorting this out.

THANKS to Ben Harris at Vandyke for stepping up and editing this.  It has
been languishing for months on my TO DO list.  I plan to resubmit this draft
for SSH over break to this noble body.

All just nits and tweaks, the content is unchanged, largely.  But comments
are most welcome!!

Internet-Draft             SSH Break Extension                  May 2005


1.  Introduction

   The Secure Shell (SSH) session channel provides a mechanism for the
   client-user to interactively enter commands and receive output from a
   remote host while taking advantage of the SSH transport's privacy and
   integrity features.  SSH is increasingly being used to replace Telnet
   for terminal access applications.

   A common application of the Telnet protocol is the "Console Server"
   [7] whereby a Telnet Network Virtual Terminal (NVT) can be connected
   to a physical RS-232/V.24 asynchronous port, making the Telnet NVT
   appear as a locally attached terminal to that port, and making that
   physical port appear as a network addressable device.  A number of
   major computer equipment vendors provide high level administrative
   functions through an asynchronous serial port and generally expect
   the attached terminal to be capable of send a BREAK signal.

   A BREAK signal is defined as the TxD signal being held in a SPACE
   ("0") state for a time greater than a whole character time.  In
   practice, a BREAK signal is typically 250 to 500 ms in length.

   The Telnet protocol furnishes a means to send a "BREAK" signal, which
   RFC0854 defines as "a signal outside the USASCII set which is
   currently given local meaning within many systems." [1]  Console
   Server vendors interpret the TELNET BREAK signal as a physical BREAK
   signal, which can then allow access to the full range of
   adminisrative functions available on an asynchronous serial console
   port.

   The lack of a similar facility in the SSH session channel has forced
   users to continue the use of Telnet for the "Console Server"
   function.

3.  The Break Request

   The following channel specific request can be sent over a
   session channel to request that the remote host perform a BREAK
   operation.

        byte      SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_REQUEST
        uint32    recipient channel
        string    "break"
        boolean   want_reply
        uint32    break-length in milliseconds

   If the BREAK length cannot be controlled by the application receiving
   this request, the BREAK length parameter SHOULD be ignored and the
   default BREAK signal length of the chipset or underlying chipset
   driver SHOULD be sent.

   If the application receiving this request can control the BREAK-
   length, the following suggestions are made regarding BREAK duration.
   If a BREAK duration request of greater than 3000ms is received, it
   SHOULD be processed as a 3000ms BREAK, in order to prevent an
   unreasonably long BREAK request causing the port to become
   unavailable for as long as 49.7 days while executing the BREAK.
   Applications that require a longer BREAK may choose to ignore this
   requirement.  If  BREAK duration request of less than 500ms, is
   requested a BREAK of 500ms SHOULD be sent since most devices will
   recognize a BREAK of that length.  In the event that an application
   needs a shorter BREAK, this suggestion can be ignored.  If the BREAK-
   length parameter is 0, the BREAK SHOULD be sent as 500ms or the
   default BREAK signal length of the chipset or underlying chipset
   driver.

   If the SSH connection does not terminate on a physical serial port,
   the BREAK indication SHOULD be handled in a manner consistent with
   the general use of BREAK as an attention/interrupt signal; for
   instance, a service processor could use some other out-of-band
   facility to get the attention of a system it manages.

   In a case where an SSH connection cascades to another connection, the
   BREAK SHOULD be passed along the cascaded connection.  For example, a
   Telnet session from an SSH shell should carry along an SSH initiated
   BREAK and an SSH client initiated from a Telnet connection SHOULD pass
   a BREAK indication from the Telnet connection.

   If the 'want_reply' boolean is set, the server MUST reply using an
   SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_SUCCESS or SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_FAILURE [5] message.  If a
   BREAK of any kind was preformed, SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_SUCCESS MUST be
   sent.  If no BREAK was preformed, SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_FAILURE MUST be

   sent.

   This operation SHOULD be supported by any general purpose SSH client.

4.  Security Considerations

   Many computer systems treat serial consoles as local and secured, and
   interpret a BREAK signal as an instruction to halt execution of the
   operating system or to enter privileged configuration modes.  Because
   of this, extra care should be taken to ensure that SSH access to
   BREAK-enabled ports are limited to users with appropriate privileges
   to execute such functions.  Alternatively, support for the BREAK
   facility MAY be implemented configurable or a per port or per server
   basis.

   Implementations that literally interpret the BREAK length parameter
   without imposing the suggested BREAK  time limit may cause a denial
   of service to or unexpected results from attached devices receiving
   the very long BREAK signal.

   IANA is requested to assign the Connection Protocol Channel Request
   Name "break" in accordance with [6].

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

I have some copy-edit comments on it.  Indented lines are quotes from

It is identical to aes256-cbc, but we may remove it in the future.

Subject: newmodes-03 buglet: *-ctr modes' blocksizes?
Sender: ietf-ssh-owner@NetBSD.org
Precedence: list
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Looking at newmodes-03, I see various *-ctr modes described.  But they
are basically stream ciphers, and as such, do not really have a
blocksize any more than (say) arcfour does.

But for interoperability everyone has to agree on what their blocksize
is for purposes of ssh use.  For the -ctr modes I've already
implemented (blowfish-ctr and 3des-ctr) this hasn't mattered because
their "native" blocksize is 64 bits, and strema ciphers are treated as
having 64-bit blocks for purposes of ssh's stream blocking.  But now I
want to do the aes*-ctr modes, and this suddenly matters.

So, I think newmodes-03 needs to be updated to clarify this: do these
*-ctr modes run as stream ciphers, blocking the data stream to 64-bit
blocks like any stream cipher, or do they run as block ciphers (which
happen to be implemented as stream ciphers) with block sizes copied
from their underlying block algorithms?  (Or something else?)

Hello,

I'm confronted to an interesting problem that might require some =
precisions in the "SSH file transfer protocol".

Many Windows or Unix modern applications can transparently operate =
text-files even if they are not in their native format (I.E: Unix texte =
file for a Windows application).
Stating about the ability for SFTP servers to do so might be intersting =
since different behaviours could lead to different results.
Since a proper local file format cannot always be guaranteed (I.E: for =
shared filesystems) a same operation could give very different results.

By example if we compare a text file transfer originating from two kinds =
of SFTP theorical servers (a "strict" one and a "relaxed" one) it could =
lead to very different results.
A strict application only recognize its own local newline format.
A relaxed application is capable of reading more than it's own file =
format (A windows or Unix application that can read both LF and CRLF as =
a newline).

A Unix text file transfered with a strict SFTP Windows server would be =
send unchanged (if we imagine that the client has no hint about the file =
format).
A Unix text file transfered with a relaxed SFTP Windows server would be =
send transcoded (LF -> CRLF with the default newline convention).

A Windows text transfered with a strict SFTP Unix server would be send =
transcoded (CRLF -> CRCRLF with the default newline convention).
A Windows text transfered with a relaxed SFTP Unix server would be send =
transcoded differently (CRLF -> CRLF with the default newline =
convention).

From the client side, the resulting file could be very different.

I have restricted the case to Windows and Unix but the problem concerns =
every kind of SFTP server and text file.

I think that either a relaxed text-file detection should be forbidden or =
there must be some way to avoid mistakes.

I hope I was clear enough.

What is your opinion ?

Farid

Subject: more interop testing?
Sender: ietf-ssh-owner@NetBSD.org
Precedence: list
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

I've just added the aes* algorithms (and some rijndael-* algorithms) to
my implementation, and I'd like to try some basic interop testing, at
least for the aes* algorithms.  (The one rijndael-* algorithm I expect
anyone else to have implemented is rijndael-cbc@lysator.liu.se, and I
feel confident that if my aes256-cbc works, so will my
rijndael-cbc@lysator.liu.se.)  I've done a little interop testing with
"SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_3.6.1 NetBSD_Secure_Shell-20030917", and it seems to
work OK.  Anybody else up for it?

I'd especially like to do interop with anyone who does Rijndael with a
block size other than 128 bits (ie, other than the AES variants); one
of us may need to add a new name, but I'm perfectly willing to be that
one if necessary.

That's the only item I knew about, and I had forgotten we weren't expecting 
any more comments before last call.  Bill, can we start a WGLC on this?

Hi.  I noticed that a new draft has been posted but we have not yet
had a WG last call.  It's my understanding that we were going to see
if the host key change advice was sufficient by seeing if it got
objections during last call.  Are we waiting for anything else before
starting last call?
