| 5. Protocol overview | | 5. Channel Bindings | |
| | | | |
| | | [[This section is tentative further discussion on the topic. This | |
| | | was written to provide an example of how the details of how one | |
| | | approach to this concept could look like. There are other approaches | |
| | | that may be preferable.]] | |
| | | | |
| | | The GS2 mechanism provide its own token field for channel bindings, | |
| | | in addition to the "chan_binding" parameter in the GSS-API context | |
| | | functions. The reason for this is that the GS2 mechanism wish to | |
| | | provide an option to proceed even if the channel bindings does not | |
| | | match. The GSS-API framework specifies that authentication cannot | |
| | | proceed if channel bindings does not match. The GSS-API framework | |
| | | also does not specify the kind of privacy layer the channel binding | |
| | | should be transferred under, thus making it possible for attackers to | |
| | | modify it to always make channel binding negotiation succeed. | |
| | | | |
| | | The client can select, using the "Native Channel Bindings" bit, | |
| | | whether it wishes to use the "chan_bindings" parameter in the GSS-API | |
| | | layer or not. If it wishes to use this, it is not possible to | |
| | | continue after a failed channel binding negotiation. | |
| | | | |
| | | A client that wish to continue with the authentication even if the | |
| | | channel bindings does not match, set the "Native Channel Binding" bit | |
| | | to 0. It MUST use the channel binding field in the GS2 token. It | |
| | | MUST set the "chan_binding" parameter in the calls to | |
| | | GSS_Init_sec_context to GSS_Accept_sec_context to NULL. The | |
| | | application MUST set the "client_qops" field to include privacy | |
| | | protection (to protect the SASL application data), and MAY set the | |
| | | "client_cbqops" to no security layer (to avoid performance | |
| | | degradation due to two security layers). | |
| | | | |
| | | If a client do not wish to continue the authentication if channel | |
| | | binding negotiation fails, or wishes to use the channel binding in | |
| | | the GSS-API layer, it will set the "Native Channel Binding" bit to 1 | |
| | | in its first token. It MUST use both the channel binding field in | |
| | | the GS2 token and the "chan_binding" parameter in the calls to | |
| | | GSS_Init_sec_context and GSS_Accept_sec_context. The authentication | |
| | | will fail in the GSS-API layer if the channel bindings does not | |
| | | match, and thus the "client_qops" and "client_cbqops" MUST be set to | |
| | | the same value. It MAY be set to no security layer (to avoid | |
| | | performance degradation due to two security layers). | |
| | | | |
| | | For TLS, the channel binding data is specified in the next section. | |
| | | For other security layers, channel binding data will have to | |
| | | specified elsewhere, and this specification will have to be updated | |
| | | with explicit considerations. | |
| | | | |
| | | [[All channel bindings should go into a separate document.]] | |
| | | | |
| | | 5.1. Name Of Tls Channel For Use As Channel Binding | |
| | | | |
| | | The TLS Pseudo-Random Function (PRF) generate, using the constant | |
| | | string "TLS channel binding", and based on the master secret and the | |
| | | random values established during a TLS handshake, a 64 octet string | |
| | | that make up the SASL channel binding data. | |
| | | | |
| | | Using the terminology of TLS [13], the channel binding data is | |
| | | computed as follows: | |
| | | | |
| | | SASL_channel_binding = | |
| | | PRF(SecurityParameters.master_secret, | |
| | | "TLS channel binding", | |
| | | SecurityParameters.server_random + | |
| | | SecurityParameters.client_random) [0..64]; | |
| | | | |
| | | The derived data is intended to be used as a name of the TLS channel | |
| | | that is cryptographically bound to the channel, for use in | |
| | | authentication mechanisms tunneled over TLS. | |
| | | | |
