1. Introduction

[Editor

[RFC Editor remark] All instances of RFC xxxx should be replaced
with the RFC number of this document, when published. Furthermore,
all instances of RFC yyyy should be replaced with the RFC number
of the MIKEY (Multimedia Internet KEYing) document [MIKEY], when
published.

There has recently been work to define a security framework profile for the
protection of real-time applications running over RTP, [SRTP].
However, a security protocol needs a key management solution to
exchange keys and security parameters, manage and refresh keys, etc.

A key management protocol is executed prior to the security protocol
protocol's execution. The key management protocol's main goal is to,
in a secure and reliable way, establish a security association for
the security protocol. This includes one or more cryptographic keys
and the set of necessary parameters for the security protocol, e.g.,
cipher and authentication algorithm algorithms to be used. The key management
protocol has similarities with, e.g., SIP [SIP] and RTSP [RTSP] in
the sense that it negotiates necessary information in order to be
able to setup the session.

The focus in the following sections is to describe a new SDP
attribute and RTSP header extension to support key management, and
the integration to
show how these can be integrated within SIP and RTSP. A framework is therefore
described in the following. This The resulting
framework is completed by one or more key management protocols, to describe how the framework is used,
e.g. which is the data to be carried in
use the extensions. extensions provided.

Some of the motivations to create a framework with the possibility to
include the key management in the session establishment are:

* Just as the codec information is a description of how to encode and
decode the audio (or video) stream, the key management data is a
description of how to encrypt and decrypt the data.

* The possibility to negotiate the security for the entire multimedia
session at the same time.

* The knowledge of the media at the session establishment makes it easy
to tie the key management to the multimedia sessions.

* This approach may be more efficient than setting up the security
later, as that approach might force extra roundtrips, possibly
also a separate set-up for each stream, hence implying more delay
to the actual setup of the media session.

* The possibility to negotiate keying material end-to-end without
applying end-to-end protection of the SDP (instead, hop-by-hop
security mechanisms can be used which may be useful if
intermediate proxies needs access to the SDP).

Currently in SDP [SDPnew], there exists one field exists to transport keys, i.e.
the "k=" field. However, this is not enough for a key management
protocol as there are many more parameters that need to be
transported.
transported, and the "k=" field is not extendible. The approach here used
is to use and extend the SDP description to through a number of attributes that
transport the key management offer/answer and also to associate it
with the media sessions. SIP uses the offer/answer model [OAM]
whereby extensions to SDP will be enough. However, RTSP [RTSP] does
not use the offer/answer model with SDP, so a new RTSP header is
introduced to convey key management data.

The document also defines the use of the described framework together
with the key management protocol Multimedia Internet KEYing (MIKEY)
[MIKEY].

1.1. Notational Conventions

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

2. Extensions to SDP and RTSP

This section describes common attributes that are to can be included in
an SDP description
or in an RTSP header when an integrated key management protocol is used. The
attribute values MUST follow the general SDP or and RTSP guidelines (see
[SDPnew] and [RTSP]).

For both SDP and RTSP, the general method of adding the key
management protocol is to introduce new attributes, one identifier to
identify the specific key management protocol, and one data field
where the key management protocol data is placed. The key management
protocol data contains the necessary information to establish the
security protocol, e.g., keys and cryptographic parameters. All
parameters and keys are protected by the key management protocol.

The key management data SHALL be base64 [RFC3548] encoded and comply
with the base64 grammar as defined in [SDPnew]. The key management
protocol identifier, KMID, is defined as below (where ALPHA and DIGIT are as
defined in [RFC2234]). Augmented Backus-
Naur Form grammar (ABNF) [RFC2234].

KMID = 1*(ALPHA/DIGIT) 1*(ALPHA / DIGIT)

Values for the identifier, KMID, are registered and defined in
accordance to Section 6. 8. Note that the KMID will be case sensitive
and it is therefore RECOMMENDED that values registered are lower case letters.

2.1. SDP Extensions

This section provides an Augmented Backus-Naur Form (ABNF) ABNF grammar (as used in [SDPnew]) for the
key management extensions to SDP.

Note that the new definitions are compliant with the definition of an
attribute field, i.e.

attribute = (att-field ":" att-value) | att-field

One new attribute

The att-field and att-value for SDP is defined:

key-mgmt the key management extensions are as
follow:

key-mgmt-att-field = "key-mgmt: " "key-mgmt"
key-mgmt-att-value = 0*1SP prtcl-id SP keymgmt-data

prtcl-id = KMID
; e.g. "mikey"

keymgmt-data = text base64
SP = 0x20

where KMID is as previously defined, "text" defined in Section 2 of this memo, base64 is as
defined in SDP [SDPnew]. Prtcl-id refers to the set of values defined
for KMID in Section 6. "text" is consistent with the requirement of base64-
encoded data, and KMID is consistent with the standard definition of
non-ws-string. 7.

The attribute may MAY be used at session level, media level, or at both
levels. An attribute defined at media level overrides an attribute
defined at session level. In other words, if the media level
attribute is present, the session level attribute MUST be ignored for
this media. Section 3 3.1 describes in detail how the attributes are
used and how the SDP is handled in different usage scenarios.

2.2. RTSP Extensions

To support the needed attribute, key management attributes, the following RTSP header
is defined:

KeyMgmt = "keymgmt" "KeyMgmt" ":" 1#key-mgmt-spec key-mgmt-spec 0*("," key-mgmt-spec)

key-mgmt-spec = "prot" "=" KMID ";" ["uri" "=" <"> rtsp_URL <"> ";"]
"data" "=" quoted-string base64

where KMID is as previously defined in Section 2 of this memo, "base64" as
defined in [SDPnew], and "quoted-string" "rtsp_URL" as defined in
the RTSP specification [RTSP]. "quoted-string" is consistent with

The "uri" parameter identifies the
requirement of base64-encoded data, context for which the key
management data applies, and KMID is consistent with the
standard definition RTSP URI SHALL match a (session or
media) URI present in the description of token. the session. If the RTSP
aggregated control URI is included it indicates that the key
management message is on session level (and similarly the RTSP media
control URI, that it applies to the media level). If no "uri"
parameter is present in a key-mgmt-spec the specification applies to
the context identified by the RTSP request URI.

The KeyMgmt header should MAY be possible to use used in the messages and directions
described in the table below.

We define one new RTSP status code to report error due to any failure
during the key management processing (Section 3.2):

Status-Code = "463" ; Key management failure

A 463 response MAY contain a KeyMgmt header with a key management
protocol message that further indicates the nature of the error.

3. Usage with SIP SDP, SIP, RTSP, and RTSP SAP

This section gives rules and recommendations of how/when to include
the defined key management attribute when SIP and/or RTSP are used
together with SDP.

When a key management protocol is integrated with SIP/SDP and RTSP,
the following general requirements are placed on the key management:

* It MUST be possible to execute the key management protocol in at
most one roundtrip in case the answerer accepts the offer. request-response message exchange.

* It MUST be possible from the SIP/SDP and RTSP application, using
the key management API, to receive key management data, and
information of whether a message is accepted or not.

Today, the MIKEY protocol [MIKEY] has adopted the key management
extensions to work together with SIP and RTSP. Other protocols MAY
use the described attribute and header, e.g. Kerberos [KERB], however
this is subject to future standardization.

3.1. General SDP processing

When an SDP message is created, the following procedure SHALL be
applied:

The identifier content of the key management protocol used MUST be placed
in messages depends on the prtcl-id field. The protocol identifier values are
specified by IANA (see Section 6).

* The list of key
management protocol identifiers that is provided by used. However, the SDP application
to (each) content of such key
management protocol, as defined in Section 3.4. (to
defeat bidding-down attacks).

* The keymgmt-data field MUST messages might be created expected to be roughly as follows. follow. The
key management protocol MUST be used to create Initiator (e.g. the offerer) includes the key
management
message. This message SHALL be base64 encoded [RFC3548] by the SDP
application and then encapsulated data in a first message, containing the keymgmt-data attribute.
The media description
it should apply to. This data may e.g. be a MIKEY message (see [MIKEY], Section 7).

A received SDP message that contains in general consists of the security
parameters (including key management attributes
SHALL be processed in material) needed to secure the
communication, together with the necessary authentication information
(to assure that the message is authentic).

At the Responder's side, the following manner:

* The key management protocol is identified according to checks the
validity of the prtcl-id
field. The protocol identifier values are specified by IANA
(Section 6).

* The key management data from message, together with the keymgmt-data field MUST be
extracted, base64 decoded to reconstruct
availability of the original message, parameters offered, and then passed to provides the key
management protocol.

* The list of protocol identifiers is provided by data to be included in the SDP application answer. This answer may
typically authenticate the Responder to the key management protocol, as defined in Section 3.4. Note
that depending on key management protocol, some extra parameters
might Initiator, and also be requested by the specific API, such as state
if the
source/destination network address/port(s) for initial offer was accepted or not. Certain protocols might
require the specified media
(however, this will be implementation specific depending on Responder to include a selection of the
actual API). The extra security
parameters that a key management protocol
might need (other than the ones defined here) SHOULD be
documented, describing their use, as well as he is willing to support. Again, the interaction actual content

that such response is dependent on the particular key management protocol with SDP and RTSP.

* If
protocol.

Section 6 describes a realization of the MIKEY protocol using these
mechanisms. Procedures to be used when mapping new key management processing is successful, then
protocols onto this framework are described in Section 5.

3.1. Use of SDP

This section describes the answerer
sends back processing rules for the answer. Otherwise, if different
applications which use SDP for the key management rejects management.

3.1.1 General processing

The processing when SDP is used is slightly different according to
the offer, an error way SDP is sent back ("606 Not Acceptable") transported, and if it uses an offer/answer or
announcement. The processing can be divided into four different
steps:

1) How to create the
session is aborted. See Section 3.2 for further details.

Note initial offer.
2) How to handle a received offer.
3) How to create an answer.
4) How to handle a received answer.

It should be noted that the key management attribute MAY last two steps may not always be repeated more than once
(e.g., one at session level and one at media level). Consequently,
the process is repeated
applicable, as there are cases where an answer can not or will not be
sent back.

The general processing for each creating an initial offer SHALL follow the
following actions:

* The identifier of the key management attribute detected.
However, protocol used MUST be placed
in case the prtcl-id field of failure SDP. A table of the legal protocols
identifiers is maintained by IANA (see Section 8).

* The keymgmt-data field MUST be created as follows. The key
management (on either session
or media level), protocol MUST be used to create the session setup key management
message. This message SHALL be aborted (see also Section
3.2 and Section 3.3 for more details).

In base64 encoded [RFC3548] by the Offer/Answer case, SDP
application and then encapsulated in general when there the keymgmt-data attribute.
Note though that the semantics of the encapsulated message is an answer, if
more than one
dependent on the key management protocol that is supported, multiple
instances of the key management attribute MAY be included in the
initial offer, each transporting used.

The general processing for handling a different received offer SHALL follow the
following actions:

* The key management data,
thus indicating supported alternatives.

If protocol is identified according to the prtcl-id
field. A table of legal protocols identifiers is maintained by
IANA (Section 8).

* The key management data from the keymgmt-data field MUST be
extracted, base64 decoded to reconstruct the original message, and
then passed to the sender includes more than one key management protocol
attribute at session level (analogous for processing. Note
that depending on key management protocol, some extra parameters
might also be requested by the specific API, such as the
source/destination network address/port(s) for the specified media level), these
SHOULD
(however, this will be listed in order of preference (the first being implementation specific depending on the
preferred).
actual API). The receiver selects the extra parameters that a key management protocol it
wishes to use and includes only that attribute in
might need (other than the answer. If ones defined here) SHOULD be
documented, describing their use, as well as the
receiver does not support any interaction of
that key management protocol with SDP and RTSP.

* If errors occur, or the sender's suggested key management protocols, offer is rejected, the receiver returns an
session SHALL be aborted. Possible error message (see
section 3.2 and section 3.3), whereby the sender MUST abort messages are dependent
on the
current setup procedure.

Note that specific session establishment protocol.

At this stage, the placement of multiple key management offers in will have either accepted or
rejected the offered parameters. This MAY cause a single response message has the disadvantage that to
be generated, depending on the message expands key management protocol and the
computational workload for
application scenario.

If an answer is to be generated, the offerer will increase drastically.
Unless the guidelines of Section 3.4 are followed, multiple lines may
open up for bidding-down attacks.

The following Sections describe the specific use with SIP and RTSP
respectively. There are general actions SHALL
be performed:

* The identifier of course other cases where SDP is used, such
as SAP and HTTP. If SDP is transported in an Offer-Answer model
fashion, then the guidelines in Section 3.2 can key management protocol used MUST be used. However, for
one-way SDP distribution (i.e. without back channel), placed
in the above
guidelines can prtcl-id field.

* The keymgmt-data field MUST be used though with certain restrictions. First, the created as follows. The key
management protocol MUST support one-way messages, and secondly,
only one be used to create the key management protocol
message. This message SHALL be offered (i.e. no
negotiation will be possible).

This document does NOT address one-to-many distribution scenarios, as
this would require different types of key management protocols. The
support for such scenarios is for future standardization.

3.2. SIP usage

When used with SIP base64 encoded [RFC3548] by the SDP
application and then encapsulated in the offer/answer model, keymgmt-data attribute.
The semantics of the offerer SHOULD
include encapsulated message is dependent on the key
management data within an offer protocol that contains the
media description it should apply to. At the answerer's side, is used.

The general processing for handling a received answer SHALL follow
the following actions:

* The key management protocol checks the validity of is identified according to the prtcl-id
field.

* The key management
message, together with data from the availability of keymgmt-data field MUST be
extracted, base64 decoded to reconstruct the offered attribute
values, original message, and
then provides passed to the key management data to be included in
the answer. protocol for processing.

* If errors occur, or the key management offer is not accepted, rejected, the answerer SHOULD return a "606 Not
Acceptable" message, including one or more Warning headers (e.g. a
306 "Attribute not understood" when one
session SHALL be aborted. If possible an error message indicating
the failure SHOULD be sent back. Otherwise, if all the steps are
successful, the normal setup proceeds.

3.1.2 Use of SDP with offer/answer and SIP

This section defines additional processing rules, to the parameters is not
supported). The session is then aborted general one
defined in Section 3.1.1, applicable only to applications using SDP
with the offer-answer model [OAM] (and it in particular SIP).

When an initial offer is up to local policy
or end user to decide how to continue).

Re-keying can created, the following offer-answer specific
procedure SHALL be handled as a new offer, i.e. a re-INVITE should applied:

* Before creating the key management data field, the list of protocol
identifiers MUST be
sent with provided by the new proposed parameters. The answerer treats this SDP application to (each) key
management protocol, as defined in Section 3.1.4 (to defeat
bidding-down attacks).

For a
new received SDP offer where that contains the key management is attributes,
the issue of change. In
general, following offer-answer specific procedure SHALL be applied:

* Before, or in conjunction with, passing the re-INVITE (and key management data to
the key exchange) must be finalized
before management protocol, the security complete list of protocol can change
identifier from the offer message is provided by the SDP
application to the keys. The same key management protocol used (as defined in Section
3.1.4).

When an answer is created, the original INVITE following offer-answer specific
procedure SHALL also be used in
the re-INVITE carrying re-keying. applied:

* If the re-INVITE carrying re-keying
fails (e.g., key management rejects the authentication verification fails), offer, the answerer SHOULD send return
a "606 Not Acceptable" message, message and optionally also including one
or more Warning headers (at least a 306). The offerer MUST then abort the
security setup.

3.3. RTSP usage

RTSP does (a 306 "Attribute not use understood" when one
of the offer/answer model, as SIP does. This causes
some problems, as it parameters is not possible (without abusing RTSP) supported, and a 399 "Miscellaneous
warning" with arbitrary information to send
back an answer be presented to the server (as the server will a human
user or logged, see Section 20.43 in most cases be the
one initiating [SIP]). Further details about
the security parameter exchange). To solve this, a new
header has been introduced (Section 2.2). This also assumes that cause of failure MAY be described in an included message from
the key management also has some kind of binding protocol. The session is then aborted (and it
is up to the media, so local policy or end user to decide how to continue).

Note that the response key management attribute (related to the server will same key
management protocol) MAY be processed as required.

To obtain a present both at session description, the client initially contacts the
server via a DESCRIBE message (according to RTSP, a level and at
media description
could also level. Consequently, the process SHALL be obtained by other means e.g. using http). The initial repeated for each
such key management message from the RTSP server is sent to the client in attribute detected. In case the SDP key management
processing of any such attribute does not succeed (e.g.
authentication failure, parameters not supported etc.), on either
session or media level, the 200 OK in response to the DESCRIBE. When responding to
this, the client uses entire session setup SHALL be aborted,
including those parts of the new RTSP header to send back an answer
(included in session which successfully completed
their part of the SETUP message). key management.

If a server receives a SETUP message
in which it expects a more than one key management message, but none protocol is included, a
403 Forbidden SHOULD be returned to the client, whereby the current
setup MUST be aborted.

The processing of creating a key management header in RTSP SHALL be
as follow:

* The identifier supported, multiple
instances of the key management protocol used (e.g. MIKEY)
MUST attribute MAY be placed included in the "prot" field of the header. The prot values
are specified by IANA (Section 6).

* The list of protocol identifiers is sent by
initial offer when using the RTSP application to
(each) offer-answer model, each transporting a
different key management protocol as described in Section 3.4. (to
defeat bidding-down attacks).

* The keymgmt-data field MUST be created as follows. The protocol, thus indicating supported
alternatives.

If the offerer includes more than one key management protocol MUST be used to create
attribute at session level (analogous for the key management
message. This message SHALL media level), these
SHOULD be base64 encoded by the SDP
application and then encapsulated listed in the "data" field order of preference (the first being the
header.
preferred). The data may e.g. be a MIKEY message (see [MIKEY], Section
7).

A received key management header SHALL be processed in answerer selects the following
manner:

* The key management protocol is identified it
wishes to use, and processes only it, on either session or media
level, or on both, according to where located. If the "prot"
field.

* The answerer does
not support any of the offerer's suggested key management data from the "data" field MUST be extracted,
base64 decoded to reconstruct protocols,
the original receiver returns a "606 Not Acceptable" error message, and then
passed to whereby
the key management protocol. sender MUST abort the current setup procedure.

Note that depending on the placement of multiple key management protocol, some extra parameters might of course be
requested by offers in a single
message has the specific API, such as disadvantage that the source/destination
network address/port(s) message expands and the
computational workload for the specified media (however, this offerer will be implementation specific depending on the actual API).

* Depending on increase drastically.
Unless the outcome guidelines of Section 3.1.4 are followed, multiple lines
may open up bidding-down attacks.

The offerer MUST include the key management processing (i.e.
whether it was successful or not), data within an offer that
contains the processing can proceed
according to normal rules (see also below).

The server MAY provide re-keying/updating facilities by sending media description it applies to.

Re-keying MUST be handled as a new
key management message in an ANNOUNCE message. The ANNOUNCE message
contains an SDP message including offer, with the key management new proposed
parameters. The
response message is put in the answerer treats this as a new RTSP header in the response from
the client to the server. Note that offer where the ANNOUNCE messages MUST be
supported if this feature is to be used.

3.4. Bidding-down attack prevention

The possibility to support multiple key
management protocols may,
unless properly handled, introduce so-called bidding-down attacks.
Specifically, a man-in-the-middle could "peel off" cryptographically
strong offers (deleting key-mgmt lines from the message), leaving
only weaker ones as the responder�s choice. To avoid this, is the list
of identifiers issue of the proposed key management protocols MUST be
authenticated. change. The authentication re-keying exchange MUST be done separately by each key
management
finalized before the security protocol (see e.g. Section 7.1 in [MIKEY]).

Accordingly, it MUST be specified (in can change the keys. The same
key management protocol
specification itself or used in a companion document) how the list of key
management protocol identifiers can be processed to original offer SHALL also be authenticated
from used
in the offerer to new offer carrying re-keying. If the new offer carrying re-
keying fails (e.g., the authentication verification fails), the
answerer by SHOULD send a "606 Not Acceptable" message, including one or
more Warning headers (at least a 306). The offerer MUST then abort
the specific key management
protocol. session.

Note that, in multicast scenarios, unlike unicast, there is only a
single view of the stream [OAM], hence there MUST be a uniform
agreement of the security parameters.

3.1.3 Use of SDP with SAP

There are cases where SDP is used without conforming to the
offer/answer model; instead it is a one-way SDP distribution (i.e.
without back channel), such as when used with SAP and HTTP.

The processing follows the two first steps of the general SDP
processing (see Section 3.1.1). It can be noted that the processing
in this case differs from the offer/answer case in the fact that even if only
one key management protocol is used, SHALL be offered (i.e. no negotiation
will be possible). This implies that still MUST authenticate its own protocol identifier. the bidding down attack is not
an issue; therefore the countermeasure is not needed. The list of key
management protocol identifiers used MUST then be given support one-way messages.

3.1.4 Bidding-down attack prevention

The possibility to each of the
selected (offered) support multiple key management protocols by may,
unless properly handled, introduce bidding-down attacks.
Specifically, a man-in-the-middle could "peel off" cryptographically
strong offers (deleting the application with
";" separated identifiers. All key management lines from the offered protocol message),
leaving only weaker ones as the Responder's choice. To avoid this,
the list of identifiers of the proposed key management protocols MUST
be included, in the same order as they appear in the corresponding
SDP description. authenticated. The protocol list can formally authentication MUST be described as

prtcl-list = KMID done separately by each
key management protocol.

Accordingly, it MUST be specified (in the key management protocol
specification itself or in a companion document) how the list of key
management protocol identifiers can be processed to be authenticated
from the offerer to the answerer by the specific key management
protocol. Note that even if only one key management protocol is used,
that still MUST authenticate its own protocol identifier.

The list of protocol identifiers MUST then be given to each of the
selected (offered) key management protocols by the application with
";" separated identifiers. All the offered protocol identifiers MUST
be included, in the same order as they appear in the corresponding
SDP description.

The protocol list can formally be described as

prtcl-list = KMID *(";" KMID)

where KMID is as defined defined in Section 2.

For example, if the offered protocols are MIKEY and two yet-to-be-
invented protocols KEYP1, KEYP2, the SDP is:

a=rtpmap:98 AMR/8000
m=video 42000 RTP/SAVP 31
a=rtpmap:31 H261/90000

The protocol list, "mikey;keyp1;keyp2", would be generated from
the SDP description and used as input to each specified key
management protocol (together with the data for that protocol).
Each of the three protocols includes this protocol identifier
list in its authentication coverage (according to its protocol
specification).

If more than one protocol is supported by the offerer, it is
RECOMMENDED that all acceptable protocols are included in the first
offer, rather than making single, subsequent alternative offers in
response to error messages, see "Security Considerations".

3.2. RTSP usage

RTSP does not use the offer/answer model, as SIP does. This causes
some problems, as it is not possible (without modifying RTSP) to send
back an answer. To solve this, a new header has been introduced
(Section 2.2). This also assumes that the key management also has
some kind of binding to the media, so that the response to the server
will be processed as required.

The server SHALL be the Initiator of the key management exchange for
sessions in PLAY mode, i.e. transporting media from server to client.
The below text describes the behavior for PLAY mode. For any other
mode the behavior is not defined in this specification.

To obtain a session description, the client initially contacts the
server via a DESCRIBE message (according to RTSP, a media description
could also be obtained by other means e.g. using http). The initial
key management message from the RTSP server is sent to the client in
the SDP of the 200 OK in response to the DESCRIBE. Note that only one
key management protocol SHALL be used per session / media level. A
server MAY allow the SDP with key-management attribute(s) to be
distributed to the client though other means than RTSP.

The "uri" parameter of the KeyMgmt header is used to indicate for the
key management protocol on what context the carried message applies.
For key management messages on the SDP session level, the answer MUST
contain the RTSP aggregated control URL to indicate this. For Key
management messages initially on SDP media level, the key management
response message in the KeyMgmt header MAY use the RTSP media level
URL. For RTSP sessions not using aggregated control, i.e. no session
level control URI is defined, the key management protocol SHALL only
be invoked on individual media streams. In this case also, the key
management response SHALL be on individual media streams (i.e. one
RTSP key management header per media).

When responding to the initial key management message, the client
uses the new RTSP header (KeyMgmt) to send back an answer. How this
is done depends on the usage context.

* Key management protocol responses for the initial establishment of
security parameters for an aggregated RTSP session SHALL be sent
in the first SETUP of the session. This means that if the key
management is declared for the whole session but is setup in non-
aggregated fashion, i.e. one media per RTSP session, each SETUP
MUST carry the same response for the session level context. When
performing a setup of the second or any subsequent media in a RTSP
session the same key management parameters as established for the
first media also applies to these setups.

* Key management responses for the initial establishment of security
parameters for an individual media SHALL only be included in SETUP
for the corresponding media stream.

If a server receives a SETUP message in which it expects a key
management message, but none is included, a 403 Forbidden SHOULD be
returned to the client, whereby the current setup MUST be aborted.

When the server creates an initial SDP message, the procedure SHALL
be the same as described in Section 3.1.1.

The client processing of the initial SDP message from the server
SHALL follow the same procedures as described in Section 3.1.1,
except that, if there is an error, the session is aborted (no error
is sent back).

The client SHALL create the response, using the key management header
in RTSP, as follows:

* The identifier of the key management protocol used (e.g. MIKEY)
MUST be placed in the "prot" field of the header. The prot values
are maintained by IANA (Section 8).

* The keymgmt-data field MUST be created as follows. The key
management protocol MUST be used to create the key management
message. This message SHALL be base64 encoded by the RTSP
application and then encapsulated in the "data" field of the
header. The semantic of the encapsulated message is dependent on
the key management protocol that is used.

* Include if necessary the URL to indicate the context in the "uri"
parameter.

The server SHALL process a received key management header in RTSP as
follow:

* The key management protocol is identified according to the "prot"
field.

* The key management data from the "data" field MUST be extracted,
base64 decoded to reconstruct the original message, and then
passed to the key management protocol for processing.

* If the key management protocol is successful, the processing can
proceed according to normal rules.

* Otherwise, if the key management fails (e.g. due to authentication
failure or parameter not supported), an error is sent back as the
SETUP response using RTSP error code 463 (see Section 2.2) and the
session is aborted. It is up to the key management protocol to
specify (within the RTSP status code message or through key
management messages) details about the type of error that
occurred.

Re-keying within RTSP is for further study, given that media updating
mechanisms within RTSP are unspecified at the time this document is
written.

4. Example scenarios

The following examples utilizes MIKEY [MIKEY] as key management
protocol to be integrated into SDP and RTSP (see Section 5.1.).

Example 1 (SIP/SDP)

A SIP call is taking place between Alice and Bob. Alice sends an
Invite message consisting of the following offer:

v=0
o=alice 2891092738 2891092738 IN IP4 w-land.example.com
s=Cool stuff
e=alice@w-land.example.com
t=0 0
c=IN IP4 w-land.example.com
a=key-mgmt:mikey uiSDF9sdhs727ghsd/dhsoKkdOokdo7eWsnDSJD...
m=audio 49000 RTP/SAVP 98
a=rtpmap:98 AMR/8000
m=video 52230 RTP/SAVP 31
a=rtpmap:31 H261/90000

i.e. Alice proposes to set up one audio stream and one video stream
that run over SRTP (signaled by the use of the SAVP profile). She
uses MIKEY to set up the security parameters for SRTP (Section 6).
The MIKEY message contains the security parameters, together with the
necessary key material. Note that MIKEY is exchanging the crypto
suite for both streams, as it is placed at the session level. Also,
MIKEY provides its own security, i.e. when Bob processes Alice's
MIKEY message, he will also find the signaling of the security
parameters used to secure the MIKEY exchange. Alice's authentication
information is also carried within the MIKEY message, to prove that
the message is authentic.

Upon receiving the offer, Bob checks the validity of the received
MIKEY message, and, in case of successful verification, he accepts
the offer and sends an answer back to Alice (with his authentication
information, and, if necessary, also some key material from his
side):

v=0
o=bob 2891092897 2891092897 IN IP4 foo.example.com
s=Cool stuff
e=bob@foo.example.com
t=0 0
c=IN IP4 foo.example.com
a=key-mgmt:mikey skaoqDeMkdwRW278HjKVB...
m=audio 49030 RTP/SAVP 98
a=rtpmap:98 AMR/8000
m=video 52230 RTP/SAVP 31
a=rtpmap:31 H261/90000

Upon receiving the answer, Alice verifies the correctness of it. In
case of success, at this point Alice and Bob share the security
parameters and the keys needed for a secure RTP communication.

Example 2 (SDP)

This example shows how Alice would have done if she wished to protect
only the audio stream. She would have placed the MIKEY line at media
level for the audio stream only (also specifying the use of the SRTP
profile there, SAVP). The semantic of the MIKEY messages is as in Section 2.

For example, if the offered protocols are MIKEY and two yet-to-be-
invented protocols KEYP1, KEYP2,
previous case, but applies only to the SDP is: audio stream.

v=0
o=alice 2891092738 2891092738 IN IP4 lost.example.com
s=Secret discussion w-land.example.com
s=Cool stuff
e=alice@w-land.example.com
t=0 0
c=IN IP4 lost.example.com
a=key-mgmt:mikey <data1>
a=key-mgmt:keyp1 <data2>
a=key-mgmt:keyp2 <data3> w-land.example.com
m=audio 39000 49000 RTP/SAVP 98
a=rtpmap:98 AMR/8000
a=key-mgmt:mikey uiSDF9sdhs727ghsd/dhsoKkdOokdo7eWsnDSJD...
m=video 42000 RTP/SAVP 52230 RTP/AVP 31
a=rtpmap:31 H261/90000

The protocol list, "mikey;keyp1;keyp2",

Bob would be generated from
the SDP description and used then act as input to each specified key
management protocol (together with described in the data previous example, including
the MIKEY answer at the media level for the audio stream (as Alice
did).

Note that protocol).
Each of even if the three protocols includes this protocol identifier
list in its authentication coverage (according to its protocol
specification).

If more than one protocol are supported by key management attribute were specified at
session level, the offerer, it video part would not be affected by this (as a
security profile is
RECOMMENDED that all acceptable protocols are included in not used, instead the first
offer, rather than making single, subsequent alternative offers in
response to error messages, see "Security Considerations".

3.5. Example scenarios RTP/AVP profile is
signaled).

Example 1 (SIP) 3 (RTSP)

A SIP call is taking place between Alice client wants to set up a streaming session and Bob. Alice requests a media
description from the streaming server.

DESCRIBE rtsp://server.example.com/fizzle/foo RTSP/1.0
CSeq: 312
Accept: application/sdp
From: user@example.com

The server sends back an
Invite OK message consisting including an SDP description,
together with the MIKEY message. The MIKEY message contains the
necessary security parameters that the server is willing of offering
to the client, together with authentication information (to prove
that the message is authentic) and the key material. The SAVP profile
also signals the use of SRTP for securing the following offer: media sessions.

i.e. Alice proposes
a=control:rtsp://movie.example.com/action/video

The client checks the validity of the received MIKEY message, and, in
case of successful verification, it accept the message. The client
then includes its key management data in the SETUP request going back
to set up one audio stream and one video stream
that run over SRTP. To set up the security parameters for SRTP, she
uses MIKEY. Note server, the client authentication information (to prove that MIKEY is negotiating
the crypto suite for both
streams (as it message is placed authentic) and, if necessary, some key material.

The server processes the request including checking the validity of

Note than in this case the key management line was specified at the
session level).

Bob accepts level, the offer and sends an answer back to Alice:

Example 2 (SDP)

This example shows how Alice would have done if she wished to protect key management information only goes into the audio
SETUP related to the first stream.

a=rtpmap:31 H261/90000

Note The "uri" indicates to the server
that even if the key management attribute were specified at context is for the whole aggregated session level, the video part would not be affected by this (as a
security profile is not used).

Each RTSP header are inserted in the SETUP related to the audio and

data="RW278HjKVBskaoqDeMkdw..."

Note: The client is now ready "uri" parameter could be excluded from the two SETUP
messages in this example.

5. Adding further Key management protocols

This framework cannot be used with all key management protocols. The
key management protocol needs to setup comply with the requirements
described in Section 3. In addition to this, the following needs to
be defined:

* The key management protocol identifier to be used as the protocol
identifier should be registered at IANA according to Section 8.

* The information that the key management needs from SDP and RTSP,
and vice versa, as described in Section 3. The exact API is
implementation specific, but it SHOULD at least support the sessions. It includes
exchange of the specified information.

* The key management data in the first message going back protocol to be added MUST be such, that the server (i.e.
processing in Section 3 (describing its interactions with SDP and
RTSP) can be applied. Note in particular, Section 3.1.4 requires
each key management protocol to specify how the SETUP message).

SETUP rtsp://movie.example.com/action/audio RTSP/1.0
CSeq: 313
Transport: RTP/SAVP/UDP;unicast;client_port=3056-3057
keymgmt: prot=mikey; data="skaoqDeMkdwRW278HjKVB..." list of protocol
identifiers is authenticated inside that key management protocol.
The server processes the request including checking key management MUST always be given the validity protocol identifier(s)
of the key management header.

RTSP/1.0 200 OK
CSeq: 313
Session: 12345678
Transport: RTP/SAVP/UDP;unicast;client_port=3056-3057;
server_port=5000-5001
The RTSP then proceeds as usual (with e.g. a SETUP message for protocol(s) included in the
video followed offer in the
correct order as they appear.

Finally, it is obviously crucial to analyze possible security
implications induced by the introduction of a PLAY message).

4. Adding further Key management protocols

This framework cannot be used with all new key management protocols. The
protocol in the described framework.

Today, the MIKEY protocol [MIKEY] has adopted the key management protocol needs
extensions to comply work together with SIP and RTSP (see Section 6). Other
protocols MAY use the described attribute and header, e.g. Kerberos
[KERB], however this is subject to future standardization.

6. Integration of MIKEY

[MIKEY] describes a key management protocol for real-time
applications (both for peer-to-peer communication and group
communication). MIKEY can be integrated within SDP and RTSP,
following the rules and guidelines described in this document.

MIKEY satisfies the requirements described in Section 3. In addition The MIKEY
message is formed as defined in [MIKEY], then passed from MIKEY to this,
the following needs to
be defined:

* SDP application that base64 encodes it, and encapsulates it in
the keymgmt-data attribute. The examples in Section 4 use MIKEY,
where the semantic of the exchange is also briefly explained.

The key management protocol identifier (KMID) to be used as the
protocol identifier should SHALL be "mikey" and is registered at IANA according to IANA, see
in detail Section 6
(e.g. "mikey" for MIKEY).

* 8.

The information that the key management needs from SDP and RTSP, and
vice versa, as described in follows Section 3. To avoid bidding-down attacks, the
directives in Section 3.1.4 are followed. The exact API list of protocol
identifiers is
implementation specific, but authenticated within MIKEY by placing such list in a
General Extension Payload (of type "SDP IDs", [MIKEY]), which then
automatically will be integrity protected/signed. The receiver SHALL
then match the list in the General Extension Payload with the list
included in SDP and SHOULD (according to policy) if they differ, or
if integrity/signature verification fails, reject the offer.

To signal the MIKEY identity of the client to the server in the
DESCRIBE, it is RECOMMENDED to include the From header field in RTSP.

6.1 MIKEY Interface

This subsection describes some aspects, which implementers SHOULD
consider. If the MIKEY implementation is separate from the
SDP/SIP/RTSP, an application programming interface (API) between
MIKEY and those protocols is needed with certain functionality
(however, exactly what it looks like is implementation dependent).

Implementers of MIKEY are RECOMMENDED to consider providing at least support
the following functionality:

* the possibility for MIKEY to
exchange receive information about the specified information. sessions
negotiated. This is to some extent implementation dependent. But
it is RECOMMENDED that, in the case of SRTP streams, the number of
SRTP streams is included (and the direction of these). It is also
RECOMMENDED to provide the destination addresses and ports to
MIKEY. When referring to streams described in SDP, MIKEY allocated
two consecutive numbers for the related Crypto Session indexes (as
each stream can be bi-directional). An example: if the SDP
contains two m lines (specifying whatever direction of the
streams), and MIKEY is at the session level, then MIKEY allocates
e.g. the CS IDs '1' and '2' for the first m line, and '3' and '4'
for the second m line.

* The key management protocol the possibility for MIKEY to receive incoming MIKEY messages and
return a status code from/to the SIP/RTSP application.

* the possibility for the SIP or RTSP applications to receive
information from MIKEY. This would typically include the receiving
of the CSB ID (to later be added MUST be such, that able to identify the
processing in Section 3 (describing its interactions with SDP active MIKEY
session), and
RTSP) the SSRCs and the ROC for SRTP usage. It is also
RECOMMENDED that extra information about errors can be applied. Note in particular, Section 3.4 requires
each key management protocol received.

* the possibility for the SIP or RTSP application to specify how receive outgoing
MIKEY messages.

* the list of protocol
identifiers possibility to tear down a MIKEY CSB (e.g. if the SIP session
is authenticated inside that key management protocol.
The key management MUST always be given closed, the protocol identifier(s) CSB SHOULD also be closed).

7. Security Considerations

The framework for transfer of the key management protocol(s) included in the offer in the
correct order data as they appear.

Finally, it described here
is obviously crucial intended to analyze possible provide the security
implications induced by parameters for the introduction end-to-end
protection of a new key management
protocol in the described framework.

5. Security Considerations

As a general practice, it media session. It is a furthermore good thing, not only to try to secure
the session, but also practice to
secure the session setup. setup (e.g. SDP, SIP, RTSP, SAP). However, it
might be that the security of the session setup might is not possible on an end-to-end
basis, but the setup may require to be protected on a hop-by-hop
basis (this is generally the case for SIP/SDP when
achieve end-to-end, but only hop-by-hop. For example, SIP requires
intermediate proxies needs to obtain information about have access to part of the sessions etc, c.f. SIP message, and
sometimes also to the SDP description (c.f. [E2M]). In fact, General security
considerations for the focus of this session setup can be found in SDP [SDPnew],
SIP [SIP], and RTSP [RTSP]. The framework defined in this memo is mainly
useful when end-to-
end protection of the session setup is not used, protected in an end-to-end
fashion, but where the media streams needs to be end-to-end protected. General security
considerations for protected,
hence the session setup can be found in SDP [SDPnew],
SIP [SIP], and RTSP [RTSP]. security parameters such as keys are not wanted revealed to
intermediaries.

The security will also depend on the encapsulated level of security
the key management protocol offers. It follows that, under the
assumption that the key management schemes are secure, the SDP can be
passed along unprotected without affecting the key management as
such, and the media streams will still be secure even if some
attackers gained knowledge of the SDP contents. Further security
considerations can be found for each key management protocol (for
MIKEY these can be found in [MIKEY]).

However, if the SDP messages are not sent authenticated between the
parties, it is possible for an active attacker to change attributes
without being detected. As the key management protocol may
(indirectly) rely on some of the session information from SDP (e.g.,
address information), an attack on SDP may have indirect consequences
on the key management. Even if the key management protocol does not
rely on parameters of SDP and will not be affected by manipulation of
these, different DoS attacks aimed at SDP (e.g. the SIMCAP
extensions) may lead to undesired
interruption in the setup.

The use of multiple key management protocols in the same offer may
open up the possibility of a bidding-down attack, as specified in
Section 3.4. 3.1.4. To exclude such possibility, the authentication of the
protocol identifier list is used. Note though, that the security
level of the authenticated protocol identifier will be as high (or
low), as the "weakest" protocol. Therefore, it is discouraged to
offer protocols with too different security levels.

Note that it is impossible to assure the authenticity of a declined
offer, since even if it comes from the true respondent, the fact that
the answerer declines the offer usually means that he does not
support the protocol(s) offered, and consequently cannot be expected
to authenticate the response either. This means that if the initiator Initiator
is unsure of which protocol(s) the responder Responder supports, we RECOMMEND
that the initiator Initiator offers all acceptable protocols in a single offer.
If not, this opens up the possibility for a "man-in-the-middle"
(MITM) to affect the outcome of the eventually agreed upon protocol,
by faking unauthenticated error messages until the initiator Initiator
eventually offers a protocol "to the liking" of the MITM. This is not
really a security problem, but rather a mild form of denial of
service that can be avoided by following the above recommendation. In
the case that the response declines any security (therefore there is
impossibility of authenticating it), the session setup SHALL be
aborted.

8. IANA Considerations

6.1.

8.1. SDP Attribute Registration

A new SDP attribute needs to be registered for the purpose of key
management protocol integration with SDP.

Contact: Fredrik Lindholm
mailto: fredrik.lindholm@ericsson.com
tel: +46 8 58531705

SDP Attribute Field ("att-field"):

Name: key-mgmt key-mgmt-att-field
Long form: key management protocol attribute field
Type of name: att-field
Type of attribute: Media and session level
Purpose: See RFC xxxx, Section 2.
Reference: RFC xxxx, Section 2.1
Values: See RFC xxxx, Section 6.3

6.2. 2.1 and 8.3.

8.2. RTSP Header Registration

A new RTSP Header needs to be registered for the purpose of key
management protocol integration with RTSP.

Following the guidelines of [RTSP], the registration is defined as
follows:

Header name: keymgmt
Header syntax: see RFC xxxx, Section 2.2
Intended usage: see RFC xxxx, Section 2.2
Proxy treatment: Proxies SHOULD forward SHALL NOT add, change, or delete the header
header. The proxy does not need to read this
header.
Purpose: see RFC xxxx, Section 2

6.3.

The RTSP Status-Code "463" [RFC xxxx], with the default string "Key
management failure", needs to be registered.

8.3. Protocol Identifier Registration

This document defines one new name space space, the "SDP/RTSP key
management protocol identifier", associated with the protocol
identifier, KMID, defined in Section 2 to be used with the above
registered key-mgmt attributes in SDP and RTSP.

A new registry needs to be set up for the KMID parameter, with the
following registration created initially: "mikey".

Contact: Fredrik Lindholm
mailto: fredrik.lindholm@ericsson.com
tel: +46 8 58531705

Value name: mikey
Long name: Multimedia Internet KEYing
Purpose: Usage of MIKEY with the key-mgmt key-mgmt-att-field
attribute and the keymgmt RTSP header
Reference: Section 7 in RFC yyyy

Note that this registration will imply that the protocol identifier,
KMID, name space will be shared between SDP and RTSP.

Further values may be registered according to the "Specification
Required" policy as defined in [RFC2434]. Each new registration needs
to indicate the parameter name, and register it within IANA. Note
that the parameter name is case sensitive and it is recommended RECOMMENDED that
the name should to be in lower case letters. For each new registration, it
is mandatory that a permanent, stable, and publicly accessible
document exists that specifies the semantics of the registered
parameter and the requested details of interaction between the key
management protocol and SDP, as specified in RFC xxxx.

The registration itself of new values should be sent to IANA.
Registrations should SHALL include the following information:

* Contact: the contact name and email address
* Value name: the name of the value being registered (which MUST
comply with the KMID as defined in Section 2)
* Long Name: long-form name in English (optional)
* Purpose: short explanation of the purpose of the registered name.
* Reference: a reference to the specification (e.g. RFC number) of
the draft
providing the usage guidelines in accordance to Section
4 5 (and
also complying to the specified requirements).
