Introduction As the culmination of a four-year competitive process, NIST (the National Institute of Standards and Technology) has selected the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), the successor to the venerable DES (Data Encryption Standard). The competition was an open one, with public participation and comment solicited at each step of the process. The AES [AES], formerly known as Rijndael, was chosen from a field of five finalists. The AES selection was made on the basis of several characteristics: + security + unclassified + publicly disclosed + available royalty-free, worldwide + capable of handling a block size of at least 128 bits + at a minimum, capable of handling key sizes of 128, 192, and 256 bits + computational efficiency and memory requirements on a variety of software and hardware, including smart cards + flexibility, simplicity and ease of implementation The AES will be the government's designated encryption cipher. The expectation is that the AES will suffice to protect sensitive (unclassified) government information until at least the next century. It is also expected to be widely adopted by businesses and financial institutions. Frankel, et al. Standards Track [Page 2]
RFC 3602 AES-CBC Cipher Algorithm Use with IPsec September 2003 It is the intention of the IETF IPsec Working Group that AES will eventually be adopted as the default IPsec ESP cipher and will obtain the status of MUST be included in compliant IPsec implementations. The remainder of this document specifies the use of the AES within the context of IPsec ESP. For further information on how the various pieces of ESP fit together to provide security services, refer to [ARCH], [ESP], and [ROAD]. 1.1. Specification of Requirements The keywords "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" that appear in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC-2119]. 2. The AES Cipher Algorithm All symmetric block cipher algorithms share common characteristics and variables, including mode, key size, weak keys, block size, and rounds. The following sections contain descriptions of the relevant characteristics of the AES cipher. 2.1. Mode NIST has defined 5 modes of operation for AES and other FIPS-approved ciphers [MODES]: CBC (Cipher Block Chaining), ECB (Electronic CodeBook), CFB (Cipher FeedBack), OFB (Output FeedBack) and CTR (Counter). The CBC mode is well-defined and well-understood for symmetric ciphers, and is currently required for all other ESP ciphers. This document specifies the use of the AES cipher in CBC mode within ESP. This mode requires an Initialization Vector (IV) that is the same size as the block size. Use of a randomly generated IV prevents generation of identical ciphertext from packets which have identical data that spans the first block of the cipher algorithm's block size. The IV is XOR'd with the first plaintext block before it is encrypted. Then for successive blocks, the previous ciphertext block is XOR'd with the current plaintext, before it is encrypted. More information on CBC mode can be obtained in [MODES, CRYPTO-S]. For the use of CBC mode in ESP with 64-bit ciphers, see [CBC]. Frankel, et al. Standards Track [Page 3]
RFC 3602 AES-CBC Cipher Algorithm Use with IPsec September 2003 2.2. Key Size and Number of Rounds AES supports three key sizes: 128 bits, 192 bits, and 256 bits. The default key size is 128 bits, and all implementations MUST support this key size. Implementations MAY also support key sizes of 192 bits and 256 bits. AES uses a different number of rounds for each of the defined key sizes. When a 128-bit key is used, implementations MUST use 10 rounds. When a 192-bit key is used, implementations MUST use 12 rounds. When a 256-bit key is used, implementations MUST use 14 rounds. 2.3. Weak Keys At the time of writing this document there are no known weak keys for the AES. Some cipher algorithms have weak keys or keys that MUST not be used due to their interaction with some aspect of the cipher's definition. If weak keys are discovered for the AES, then weak keys SHOULD be checked for and discarded when using manual key management. When using dynamic key management, such as [IKE], weak key checks SHOULD NOT be performed as they are seen as an unnecessary added code complexity that could weaken the intended security [EVALUATION]. 2.4. Block Size and Padding The AES uses a block size of sixteen octets (128 bits). Padding is required by the AES to maintain a 16-octet (128-bit) blocksize. Padding MUST be added, as specified in [ESP], such that the data to be encrypted (which includes the ESP Pad Length and Next Header fields) has a length that is a multiple of 16 octets. Because of the algorithm specific padding requirement, no additional padding is required to ensure that the ciphertext terminates on a 4- octet boundary (i.e., maintaining a 16-octet blocksize guarantees that the ESP Pad Length and Next Header fields will be right aligned within a 4-octet word). Additional padding MAY be included, as specified in [ESP], as long as the 16-octet blocksize is maintained. 2.5. Additional Information AES was invented by Joan Daemen from Banksys/PWI and Vincent Rijmen from ESAT-COSIC, both in Belgium, and is available world-wide on a royalty-free basis. It is not covered by any patents, and the Rijndael homepage contains the following statement: "Rijndael is Frankel, et al. Standards Track [Page 4]
RFC 3602 AES-CBC Cipher Algorithm Use with IPsec September 2003 available for free. You can use it for whatever purposes you want, irrespective of whether it is accepted as AES or not." AES's description can be found in [AES]. The Rijndael homepage is: http://www.esat.kuleuven.ac.be/~rijmen/rijndael/. The AES homepage, http://www.nist.gov/aes, contains a wealth of information about the AES, including a definitive description of the AES algorithm, performance statistics, test vectors and intellectual property information. This site also contains information on how to obtain an AES reference implementation from NIST. 2.6. Performance For a comparison table of the estimated speeds of AES and other cipher algorithms, please see [PERF-1], [PERF-2], [PERF-3], or [PERF-4]. The AES homepage has pointers to other analyses. 3. ESP Payload The ESP payload is made up of the IV followed by raw cipher-text. Thus the payload field, as defined in [ESP], is broken down according to the following diagram: +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ | | + Initialization Vector (16 octets) + | | +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ | | ~ Encrypted Payload (variable length, a multiple of 16 octets) ~ | | +---------------------------------------------------------------+ The IV field MUST be the same size as the block size of the cipher algorithm being used. The IV MUST be chosen at random, and MUST be unpredictable. Including the IV in each datagram ensures that decryption of each received datagram can be performed, even when some datagrams are dropped, or datagrams are re-ordered in transit. To avoid CBC encryption of very similar plaintext blocks in different packets, implementations MUST NOT use a counter or other low-Hamming distance source for IVs. Frankel, et al. Standards Track [Page 5]
RFC 3602 AES-CBC Cipher Algorithm Use with IPsec September 2003 3.1. ESP Algorithmic Interactions Currently, there are no known issues regarding interactions between the AES and other aspects of ESP, such as use of certain authentication schemes. 3.2. Keying Material The minimum number of bits sent from the key exchange protocol to the ESP algorithm must be greater than or equal to the key size. The cipher's encryption and decryption key is taken from the first <x> bits of the keying material, where <x> represents the required key size. 4. Test Vectors The first 4 test cases test AES-CBC encryption. Each test case includes the key, the plaintext, and the resulting ciphertext. The values of keys and data are either hexadecimal numbers (prefixed by "0x") or ASCII character strings (surrounded by double quotes). If a value is an ASCII character string, then the AES-CBC computation for the corresponding test case DOES NOT include the trailing null character ('\0') of the string. The computed cyphertext values are all hexadecimal numbers. The last 4 test cases illustrate sample ESP packets using AES-CBC for encryption. All data are hexadecimal numbers (not prefixed by "0x"). These test cases were verified using 2 independent implementations: the NIST AES-CBC reference implementation and an implementation provided by the authors of the Rijndael algorithm (http://csrc.nist.gov/encryption/aes/rijndael/ rijndael-unix-refc.tar).

IKE Interactions 5.1. Phase 1 Identifier For Phase 1 negotiations, IANA has assigned an Encryption Algorithm ID of 7 for AES-CBC. 5.2. Phase 2 Identifier For Phase 2 negotiations, IANA has assigned an ESP Transform Identifier of 12 for ESP_AES. 5.3. Key Length Attribute Since the AES allows variable key lengths, the Key Length attribute MUST be specified in both a Phase 1 exchange [IKE] and a Phase 2 exchange [DOI]. 5.4. Hash Algorithm Considerations A companion competition, to select the successor to SHA-1, the widely-used hash algorithm, recently concluded. The resulting hashes, called SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512 [SHA2-1, SHA2-2] are capable of producing output of three different lengths (256, 384 and 512 bits), sufficient for the generation (within IKE) and authentication (within ESP) of the three AES key sizes (128, 192 and 256 bits). However, HMAC-SHA-1 [HMAC-SHA] and HMAC-MD5 [HMAC-MD5] are currently considered of sufficient strength to serve both as IKE generators of 128-bit AES keys and as ESP authenticators for AES encryption using 128-bit keys. Frankel, et al. Standards Track [Page 10]
RFC 3602 AES-CBC Cipher Algorithm Use with IPsec September 2003 6. Security Considerations Implementations are encouraged to use the largest key sizes they can when taking into account performance considerations for their particular hardware and software configuration. Note that encryption necessarily impacts both sides of a secure channel, so such consideration must take into account not only the client side, but the server as well. However, a key size of 128 bits is considered secure for the foreseeable future. For more information regarding the necessary use of random IV values, see [CRYPTO-B]. For further security considerations, the reader is encouraged to read [AES]. 7. IANA Considerations IANA has assigned Encryption Algorithm ID 7 to AES-CBC. IANA has assigned ESP Transform Identifier 12 to ESP_AES. 8.
