|
|
|
|
<t>The Layer 3 Discovery and Liveness protocol [old ref because new
|
|
draft not yet pushed] <xref target="I-D.ietf-lsvr-lsoe"/> provides
|
|
for the OPEN PDU to contain an algorithm specifier and a key which
|
|
can be used to verify signatures on subsequent PDUs. This document
|
|
describes two methods of key generation and signing for use by L3DL,
|
|
Trust On First Use, AKA TOFU, and a PKI-based mechanism.</t>
|
|
|
|
<t>To the receiver, the two methods are indistinguishable, the key
|
|
provided in the OPEN PDU is used to verify the signatures on the
|
|
subsequent PDUs. The difference is how that key is generated.</t>
|
|
|
|
<t>In the TOFU method the OPEN key is believed without question and
|
|
is used to verify all subsequent PDUs with the same Key Type.</t>
|
|
|
|
<t>In the PKI method the OPEN key MUST be verified against the trust
|
|
anchor for the operational domain. It is then used to verify all
|
|
subsequent PDUs with the same Key Type.</t>
|
|
|
|
<t>The Key in the OPEN PDU SHOULD be the public half of an
|
|
asymmetric key pair. The sender signs with the private key, of
|
|
course. The device sending the OPEN may use one key for all links,
|
|
a different key for each link, or some aggregation(s) thereof.</t>

|
<t>Modern key management allows for agility in 'rolling' to a new
|
|
key or even algorithm in case of key compromise or merely prudence.
|
|
Declaring a new key with an L3DL OPEN PDU would cause serious churn
|
|
in topology as a new OPEN causes a withdraw of previously announced
|
|
encapsulations. Therefore, a gentler rekeying is needed.</t>

<t>The New Key Type, New Key Length, and New Key fields declare the

replacement algorithm suite and key.</t>
|
|
|
|
<t>The NEWKEY PDU is signed using the current (soon to be old)
|
|
algorithm suite and key.</t>
|
|
|
|
<t>The sender and the receiver should be cautious of algorithm suite
|
|
downgrade attacks.</t>
|
|
|
|
<t>To avoid possible race conditions, the receiver SHOULD accept
|
|
signatures using either the new or old key for a configurable time
|
|
(default 30 seconds). This is intended to accommodate situations
|
|
such as senders with high peer out-degree and a single per-device
|
|
asymmetric key.</t>
|
|
|
|
<t>If the sender does not receive an ACK in the normal window,
|
|
including retransmission, then the sender MAY choose to allow a
|
|
session reset by either issuing a new OPEN or by letting the
|
|
receiver eventually have a signature failure (error code 3) on a
|
|
PDU.</t>
