      Transport Layer Security (TLS) Cached Information Extension
                   draft-ietf-tls-cached-info-20.txt

Abstract

   Transport Layer Security (TLS) handshakes often include fairly static
   information, such as the server certificate and a list of trusted
   certification authorities (CAs).  This information can be of
   considerable size, particularly if the server certificate is bundled
   with a complete certificate chain (i.e., the certificates of
   intermediate CAs up to the root CA).

   This document defines an extension that allows a TLS client to inform
   a server of cached information, allowing the server to omit already
   available information.

1.  Introduction

   Reducing the amount of information exchanged during a Transport Layer
   Security handshake to a minimum helps to improve performance in
   environments where devices are connected to a network with a low
   bandwidth, and lossy radio technology.  With Internet of Things such
   environments exist, for example, when devices use IEEE 802.15.4 or
   Bluetooth Smart.  For more information about the challenges with
   smart object deployments please see [RFC6574].

   This specification defines a TLS extension that allows a client and a
   server to exclude transmission information cached in an earlier TLS
   handshake.

   A typical example exchange may therefore look as follows.  First, the
   client and the server executes the full TLS handshake.  The client
   then caches the certificate provided by the server.  When the TLS
   client connects to the TLS server some time in the future, without
   using session resumption, it then attaches the cached_info extension
   defined in this document to the client hello message to indicate that

Internet-Draft      TLS Cached Information Extension        October 2015


   it had cached the certificate, and it provides the fingerprint of it.
   If the server's certificate has not changed then the TLS server does
   not need to send its' certificate and the corresponding certificate
   chain again.  In case information has changed, which can be seen from
   the fingerprint provided by the client, the certificate payload is
   transmitted to the client to allow the client to update the cache.

2.  Terminology

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "MUST", "MUST NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].

   This document refers to the TLS protocol but the description is
   equally applicable to DTLS as well.

3.  Cached Information Extension

   This document defines a new extension type (cached_info(TBD)), which
   is used in client hello and server hello messages.  The extension
   type is specified as follows.


         enum {
              cached_info(TBD), (65535)
         } ExtensionType;

   The extension_data field of this extension, when included in the
   client hello, MUST contain the CachedInformation structure.  The
   client MAY send multiple CachedObjects of the same
   CachedInformationType.  This may, for example, be the case when the
   client has cached multiple certificates from a server.

         enum {
              cert(1), cert_req(2) (255)
         } CachedInformationType;

         struct {
              select (type) {
                case client:
                  CachedInformationType type;
                  opaque hash_value<1..255>;
                case server:
                  CachedInformationType type;
              } body;
         } CachedObject;

         struct {
              CachedObject cached_info<1..2^16-1>;
         } CachedInformation;

   This document defines the following two types:

   'cert' Type for not sending the complete Server Certificate Message:


      With the type field set to 'cert', the client MUST include the
      fingerprint of the Certificate message in the hash_value field.
      For this type the fingerprint MUST be calculated using the
      procedure described in Section 5 with the Certificate message as
      input data.

   'cert_req' Type for not sending the complete CertificateRequest
   Message:

      With the type set to 'cert_req', the client MUST include the
      fingerprint of the CertificateRequest message in the hash_value
      field.  For this type the fingerprint MUST be calculated using the
      procedure described in Section 5 with the CertificateRequest
      message as input data..

   New cached info types can be added following the policy described in
   the IANA considerations section, see Section 8.  New message digest
   algorithms for use with these types can also be added by registering
   a new type that makes use of the updated message digest algorithm.
   There are no specific requirements for the use of specific hash
   algorithms but for practical reason it is useful to re-use algorithms
   already available with TLS ciphersuites to avoid additional code and
   to keep the collision probably low.

Internet-Draft      TLS Cached Information Extension        October 2015


4.  Exchange Specification

   Clients supporting this extension MAY include the "cached_info"
   extension in the (extended) client hello.  If the client includes the
   extension then it MUST contain one or more CachedObject attributes.

   A server supporting this extension MAY include the "cached_info"
   extension in the (extended) server hello.  By returning the
   "cached_info" extension the server indicates that it supports the
   cached info types.  For each indicated cached info type the server
   MUST alter the transmission of respective payloads, according to the
   rules outlined with each type.  If the server includes the extension
   it MUST only include CachedObjects of a type also supported by the
   client (as expressed in the client hello).  For example, if a client
   indicates support for 'cert' and 'cert_req' then the server cannot
   respond with a "cached_info" attribute containing support for ('foo-
   bar'.

   Since the client includes a fingerprint of information it cached (for
   each indicated type) the server is able to determine whether cached
   information is stale.  If the server supports this specification and
   notices a mismatch between the data cached by the client and its own
   information then the server MUST include the information in full and
   MUST NOT list the respective type in the "cached_info" extension.

   Note: If a server is part of a hosting environment then the client
   may have cached multiple data items for a single server.  To allow
   the client to select the appropriate information from the cache it is
   RECOMMENDED that the client utilizes the Server Name Indication
   extension [RFC6066].

   Following a successful exchange of the "cached_info" extension in the
   client and server hello, the server alters sending the corresponding
   handshake message.  How information is altered from the handshake
   messages is defined in Section 4.1, and in Section 4.2 for the types
   defined in this specification.

   Appendix A shows an example hash calculation and Section 6 shows an
   example protocol exchange.

4.1.  Server Certificate Message

   When a ClientHello message contains the "cached_info" extension with
   a type set to 'cert' then the server MAY send the Certificate message
   shown in Figure 1 under the following conditions:

   o  The server software implements the "cached_info" extension defined
      in this specification.



Santesson & Tschofenig   Expires April 21, 2016                 [Page 5]

Internet-Draft      TLS Cached Information Extension        October 2015


   o  The 'cert' cached info extension is enabled (for example, a policy
      allows the use of this extension).

   o  The server compared the value in the hash_value field of the
      client-provided "cached_info" extension with the fingerprint of
      the Certificate message it normally sends to clients.  This check
      ensures that the information cached by the client is current.  The
      procedure for calculating the fingerprint is described in
      Section 5.

   The original Certificate handshake message syntax is defined in RFC
   5246 [RFC5246] and has been extended with RFC 7250 [RFC7250].  RFC
   7250 allows the certificate payload to contain only the
   SubjectPublicKeyInfo instead of the full information typically found
   in a certificate.  Hence, when this specification is used in
   combination with [RFC7250] and the negotiated certificate type is a
   raw public key then the TLS server omits sending a Certificate
   payload that contains an ASN.1 Certificate structure with the
   included SubjectPublicKeyInfo rather than the full certificate chain.
   As such, this extension is compatible with the raw public key
   extension defined in RFC 7250.

   When the cached info specification is used then a modified version of
   the Certificate message is exchanged.  The modified structure is
   shown in Figure 1.


         struct {
             opaque hash_value[1..255];
         } Certificate;

                Figure 1: Cached Info Certificate Message.

4.2.  CertificateRequest Message

   When a fingerprint for an object of type 'cert_req' is provided in
   the client hello, the server MAY send the CertificateRequest message
   shown in Figure 2 message under the following conditions:

   o  The server software implements the "cached_info" extension defined
      in this specification.

   o  The 'cert_req' cached info extension is enabled (for example, a
      policy allows the use of this extension).

   o  The server compared the value in the hash_value field of the
      client-provided "cached_info" extension with the fingerprint of
      the CertificateRequest message it normally sends to clients.  This

Internet-Draft      TLS Cached Information Extension        October 2015


      check ensures that the information cached by the client is
      current.  The procedure for calculating the fingerprint is
      described in Section 5.

   o  The server wants to request a certificate from the client.

   The original CertificateRequest handshake message syntax is defined
   in RFC 5246 [RFC5246].  The modified structure of the
   CertificateRequest message is shown in Figure 2.


         struct {
             opaque hash_value<1..255>;
         } CertificateRequest;

             Figure 2: Cached Info CertificateRequest Message.

   The CertificateRequest payload is the input parameter to the
   fingerprint calculation described in Section 5.

5.  Fingerprint Calculation

   The fingerprint MUST be computed as follows:

   1.  Compute the SHA-256 [RFC4634] hash of the input data.  The input
       data depends on the cached info type.  This document defines two
       cached info types, described in Section 4.1 and in Section 4.2.
       Note that the computed hash only covers the input data structure
       (and not any type and length information of the record layer).

   2.  Truncate the output of the SHA-256 hash.  When a hash value is
       truncated to 32 bits, the leftmost 32 bits (that is, the most
       significant 32 bits in network byte order) from the binary
       representation of the hash value MUST be used as the truncated
       value.  An example of a 256-bit hash output truncated to 32 bits
       is shown in Figure 3.


   256-bit hash:
   0x265357902fe1b7e2a04b897c6025d7a2265357902fe1b7e2a04b897c6025d7a2

   32-bit truncated hash:
   0x26535790

                     Figure 3: Truncated Hash Example.

   The purpose of the fingerprint provided by the client is to help the
   server select the correct information.  For example, in case of the



Santesson & Tschofenig   Expires April 21, 2016                 [Page 7]

Internet-Draft      TLS Cached Information Extension        October 2015


   certificate message the fingerprint identifies the server certificate
   (and the corresponding private key) for use for with the rest of the
   handshake.  Servers may have more than one certificate and therefore
   a hash needs to be long enough to keep the probably of hash
   collisions low.  On the other hand, the cached info design aims to
   reduce the amount of data being exchanged.  The security of the
   handshake depends on the private key and not on the size of the
   fingerprint.  Hence, the fingerprint is a way to prevent the server
   from accidentally selecting the wrong information.  If an attacker
   injects an incorrect fingerprint then two outcomes are possible: (1)
   The fingerprint does not relate to any cached state and the server
   has to fall back to a full exchange. (2) If the attacker manages to
   inject a fingerprint that refers to data the client has not cached
   then the exchange will fail later when the client continues with the
   handshake and aims to verify the digital signature.  The signature
   verification will fail since the public key cached by the client will
   not correspond to the private key that was used by server to sign the
   message.

6.  Example

   Figure 4 illustrates an example exchange using the TLS cached info
   extension.  In the normal TLS handshake exchange shown in flow (A)
   the TLS server provides its certificate in the Certificate payload to
   the client, see step [1].  This allows the client to store the
   certificate for future use.  After some time the TLS client again
   interacts with the same TLS server and makes use of the TLS cached
   info extension, as shown in flow (B).  The TLS client indicates
   support for this specification via the "cached_info" extension, see
   [2], and indicates that it has stored the certificate from the
   earlier exchange (by indicating the 'cert' type).  With [3] the TLS
   server acknowledges the supports of the 'cert' type and by including
   the value in the server hello informs the client that the content of
   the certificate payload contains the fingerprint of the certificate
   instead of the RFC 5246-defined payload of the certificate message in
   message [4].

7.  Security Considerations

   This specification defines a mechanism to reference stored state
   using a fingerprint.  Sending a fingerprint of cached information in
   an unencrypted handshake, as the client and server hello is, may



Santesson & Tschofenig   Expires April 21, 2016                 [Page 9]

Internet-Draft      TLS Cached Information Extension        October 2015


   allow an attacker or observer to correlate independent TLS exchanges.
   While some information elements used in this specification, such as
   server certificates, are public objects and usually do not contain
   sensitive information, other not yet defined types may.  Those who
   implement and deploy this specification should therefore make an
   informed decision whether the cached information is inline with their
   security and privacy goals.  In case of concerns, it is advised to
   avoid sending the fingerprint of the data objects in clear.

   The use of the cached info extension allows the server to send
   significantly smaller TLS messages.  Consequently, these omitted
   parts of the messages are not included in the transcript of the
   handshake in the TLS Finish message.  However, since the client and
   the server communicate the hash values of the cached data in the
   initial handshake messages the fingerprints are included in the TLS
   Finish message.

   Clients MUST ensure that they only cache information from legitimate
   sources.  For example, when the client populates the cache from a TLS
   exchange then it must only cache information after the successful
   completion of a TLS exchange to ensure that an attacker does not
   inject incorrect information into the cache.  Failure to do so allows
   for man-in-the-middle attacks.

   Security consideratios for the fingerprint calculation are discussed
   in Section 5.

8.  IANA Considerations

8.1.  New Entry to the TLS ExtensionType Registry

   IANA is requested to add an entry to the existing TLS ExtensionType
   registry, defined in RFC 5246 [RFC5246], for cached_info(TBD) defined
   in this document.

8.2.  New Registry for CachedInformationType

   IANA is requested to establish a registry for TLS
   CachedInformationType values.  The first entries in the registry are

   o  cert(1)

   o  cert_req(2)

   The policy for adding new values to this registry, following the
   terminology defined in RFC 5226 [RFC5226], is as follows:

                Figure 5: ASN.1-based Certificate: Example.

   To include the certificate shown in Figure 5 in a TLS/DTLS
   Certificate message it is prepended with a message header.  This
   Certificate message header in our example is 0b 00 02 36 00 02 33 00
   02 00 02 30, which indicates:

   Message Type:  0b -- 1 byte type field indicating a Certificate
      message

   Length:  00 02 36 -- 3 byte length field indicating a 566 bytes
      payload

   Certificates Length:  00 02 33 -- 3 byte length field indicating 563
      bytes for the entire certificates_list structure, which may
      contain multiple certificates.  In our example only one
      certificate is included.

   Certificate Length:  00 02 30 -- 3 byte length field indicating 560
      bytes of the actual certificate following immediately afterwards.

      In our example, this is the certificate content with 30 82 02 ....
      9E 57 45 shown in Figure 6.

   The hex encoding of the ASN.1 encoded certificate payload shown in
   Figure 5 leads to the following encoding.

            Figure 6: Hex Encoding of the Example Certificate.

   Applying the SHA-256 hash function to the Certificate message, which
   is starts with 0b 00 02 and ends with 9E 57 45, produces
   0x086eefb4859adfe977defac494fff6b73033b4ce1f86b8f2a9fc0c6bf98605af.
