8、Key management framework. 3 Definitions and Notation 3.1 Definitions This part of ISO/IEC 11770 does not explicitly address the issue of interdomain key management. This part of ISO/IEC 11770 also does not define the implementation of key management mechanisms; there may be different products that c

9、omply with this part of ISO/IEC 11770 and yet are not compatible. For the purposes of this part of ISO/IEC 11770 the definitions given in ISO/IEC 11770-l apply. In addition, this part of ISO/IEC 11770 makes use of the following terms: 3.1.1 distinguishing identifier: Information which unambiguously

10、distinguishes an entity. 1 To be published. 1 ISO/IEC 11770-2:1996(E) ISO/IEC 3.1.2 3.1.3 3.1.4 3.1.5 3.1.6 3.1.7 3.1.8 3.1.9 3.1.10 entity authentication: The corroboration that an entity is the one claimed. key confirmation: The assurance for one entity that another identified entity is in possess

11、ion of the correct key. key control: The ability to choose the key, or the parameters used in the key computation. key generating function: A function which takes as input a number of parameters, at least one of which shall be secret, and which gives as output keys appropriate for the intended algor

12、ithm and application. The function shall have the property that it shall be computationally infeasible to deduce the output without prior knowledge of the secret input. point-to-point key establishment: The direct establishment of keys between entities, without involving a third party. random number

13、: A time variant parameter whose value is unpredictable. redundancy: Any information that is known and can be checked. sequence number: A time variant parameter whose value is taken from a specified sequence which is non-repeating within a certain time period. time variant parameter: A data item use

14、d to verify that a message is not a replay, such as a random number, a sequence number, or a time stamp. 3.2 Notation Throughout this part of ISO/IEC 11770 the following notation is used: x is the distinguishing identifier of entity X. KDC denotes a Key Distribution Centre. KTC denotes a Key Transla

15、tion Centre. T is the distinguishing identifier of the Key Distribution Centre or the Key Translation Centre. F denotes keying material. KXY is a secret key associated with the entities X and Y. R is a random number. Rx is a random number issued by entity X. T/N is a time stamp or a sequence number.

18、s X and Y in that order. The fields Textl, Text2, . . . specified in the mechanisms may contain optional data for use in applications outside the scope of this part of ISO/IEC 11770 (they may be empty). Their relationship and contents depend upon the specific application. One such possible applicati

19、on is message authentication (see annex B for an example). Likewise, optional plaintext text fields may be prepended or appended to any of the messages. They have no security implications and are not explicitly included in the mechanisms specified in this part of ISO/IEC 11770. Data items that are o

20、ptional in the mechanisms are shown in italics. 4 Requirements The key establishment mechanisms specified in this part of ISO/IEC 11770 make use of symmetric cryptographic techniques, more specifically symmetric encipherment algorithms and/or key generating functions. The cryptographic algorithms an

21、d the key life-time shall be chosen such that it is computationally infeasible for a key to be deduced during its life-time. If the following additional requirements are not met, the key establishment process may be compromised or it cannot be implemented. For those mechanisms making use of a symmet

22、ric encipherment algorithm, either assumption a) or assumption b) is required. 4 The encipherment algorithm, its mode of operation and the redundancy in the plaintext shall provide the recipient with the means to detect forged or manipulated data. b) The integrity of the enciphered data shall be ens

23、ured by a data integrity mechanism. If a hash-function is used for this purpose the hash-code shall either be appended to the data before encipherment or be placed in a plaintext text field. ISO/IEC ISO/IEC 11770-2:1996(E) NOTES 5.1 Key Establishment Mechanism 1 1 - Modes of operation for block ciph

24、er algorithms are standardized in ISOiIEC 10116. 2 - A data integrity mechanism is standardized in ISO/IEC 9797. Hash-functions are standardized in ISO/IEC 10118. 3 - When a KDC or KTC is involved, assumptions a) and b) are not always equivalent in terms of the ability to detect unambiguously on whi

25、ch link an active attack is being performed. See Annex B for examples. In key establishment mechanism 1 the key K is derived from a time variant parameter TVP, e.g., a random number R, a time stamp T, or a sequence number N, using a key generating function. Key establishment mechanism 1 provides no

26、authentication of the key K established by the mechanism. fie mechanism requires that A is able to generate a TVP. IZI A (1) TwJ B In each exchange specified in the mechanisms of clauses 5, 6 and 7, the recipient of a message shall know the claimed identity of the originator. If this is not the case

27、 from the context in which the mechanism is being used then this could, e.g., be achieved by the inclusion of identifiers in additional plaintext text fields of certain of the messages. Keying material may be established using either secure or insecure communication channels. When using only symmetr

28、ic cryptographic techniques, at least the first key shall be exchanged between two entities using a secure channel in order to allow secure communications. The key establishment mechanisms in this part of ISO/IEC 11770 require the use of time variant parameters such as time stamps, sequence numbers,

29、 or random numbers. In this context the use of the term random number also includes unpredictable pseudo-random numbers. The properties of these parameters, in particular that they are non-repeating, are important for the security of these mechanisms. For additional information on time variant param

30、eters see Annex B of ISO/IEC 9798-2. Figure 1 - Mechanism 1 Steps: (1) A generates a random number R, a time stamp T, or a sequence number N and transfers it to B. (1 a) Both A and B then derive the key K by using a key generating function P with inputs the shared secret key KAB and the time variant

31、 parameter TVP: K = f(KAB, TVP). See Annex B for examples of possible key generating functions. NOTE - To also provide authentication, key establishment mechanism 1 may be combined with an authentication mechanism as specified in 9798-2 or 9798-4. See annex B for an example. 5 Point-to-Point Key Est

32、ablishment The basic mechanism of every key establishment scheme is point-to-point key establishment which requires that the entities already share a key so that further keys may be established directly between the entities. For the implementation of the mechanisms specified in this clause it is ass

33、umed that 5.2 Key Establishment Mechanism 2 In key establishment mechanism 2 the key K is supplied by entity A. The mechanism provides no authentication of the key K established by the mechanism nor does it provide entity authentication. l A key KAB is shared by the entities A and B. l At least one

36、ion mechanism of ISO/IEC 9798-2, clause 5.1.1. In this mechanism the key K is supplied by entity A. Key establishment mechanism 3 provides unilateral authentication, i.e., entity A is authenticated by the mechanism. Uniqueness/timeliness is controlled by time stamps or sequence numbers. The mechanis

In this mechanism the key K is supplied by entity A. Key establishment mechanism 4 provides unilateral authentication, i.e., ent

In environments where such attacks cannot occur, the identifier may be omitted. 5.5 Key Establishment Mechanism 5 Key establishment mechanism 5 is derived from the two pass mutual authentication mechanism of ISO/IEC 9798-2, clause 5.2.1. This mechanism enables both A and B to c

Uniqueness/timeliness is controlled by time stamps or sequence numbers. The mechanism requires that both A and B are able to ma
