. Abstract 
    
   The Windows 2000 implementation of Kerberos introduces a new 
   encryption type based on the RC4 encryption algorithm and using an 
   MD5 HMAC for checksum. This is offered as an alternative to using 
   the existing DES based encryption types. 
    
   The RC4-HMAC encryption types are used to ease upgrade of existing 
   Windows NT environments, provide strong crypto (128-bit key 
   lengths), and provide exportable (meet United States government 
   export restriction requirements) encryption. 
    
   The Windows 2000 implementation of Kerberos contains new encryption 
   and checksum types for two reasons: for export reasons early in the 
   development process, 56 bit DES encryption could not be exported, 
   and because upon upgrade from Windows NT 4.0 to Windows 2000, 
   accounts will not have the appropriate DES keying material to do the 
   standard DES encryption. Furthermore, 3DES is not available for 
   export, and there was a desire to use a single flavor of encryption 
   in the product for both US and international products. 
    
   As a result, there are two new encryption types and one new checksum 
   type introduced in Windows 2000.

   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 RFC-2119 [2]. 
    
. Key Generation 
    
   On upgrade from existing Windows NT domains, the user accounts would 
   not have a DES based key available to enable the use of DES base 
   encryption types specified in RFC 1510. The key used for RC4-HMAC is 
   the same as the existing Windows NT key (NT Password Hash) for 
   compatibility reasons. Once the account password is changed, the DES 
   based keys are created and maintained. Once the DES keys are 
   available DES based encryption types can be used with Kerberos.  
    
   The RC4-HMAC String to key function is defined as follow: 
    
   String2Key(password) 
    
        K = MD4(UNICODE(password)) 
         
   The RC4-HMAC keys are generated by using the Windows UNICODE version 
   of the password. Each Windows UNICODE character is encoded in 
   little-endian format of 2 octets each. Then performing an MD4 [6] 
   hash operation on just the UNICODE characters of the password (not 
   including the terminating zero octets). 
    
   For an account with a password of "foo", this String2Key("foo") will 
   return: 
    
        0xac, 0x8e, 0x65, 0x7f, 0x83, 0xdf, 0x82, 0xbe, 
        0xea, 0x5d, 0x43, 0xbd, 0xaf, 0x78, 0x00, 0xcc 
    
. Basic Operations 
    
   The MD5 HMAC function is defined in [3]. It is used in this 
   encryption type for checksum operations. Refer to [3] for details on 
   its operation. In this document this function is referred to as 
   HMAC(Key, Data) returning the checksum using the specified key on 
   the data. 
    
   The basic MD5 hash operation is used in this encryption type and 
   defined in [7]. In this document this function is referred to as 
   MD5(Data) returning the checksum of the data. 
    
   RC4 is a stream cipher licensed by RSA Data Security [RSADSI]. A       
   compatible cipher is described in [8]. In this document the function 
   is referred to as RC4(Key, Data) returning the encrypted data using 
   the specified key on the data. 
    
   These encryption types use key derivation as defined in [9] (RFC-
   1510BIS) in Section titled "Key Derivation". With each message, the 
   message type (T) is used as a component of the keying material. This 
   summarizes the different key derivation values used in the various

   operations. Note that these differ from the key derivations used in 
   other Kerberos encryption types. 
    
        T = 1 for TS-ENC-TS in the AS-Request 
        T = 8 for the AS-Reply  
        T = 7 for the Authenticator in the TGS-Request 
        T = 8 for the TGS-Reply  
        T = 2 for the Server Ticket in the AP-Request 
        T = 11 for the Authenticator in the AP-Request 
        T = 12 for the Server returned AP-Reply 
        T = 15 in the generation of checksum for the MIC token 
        T = 0 in the generation of sequence number for the MIC token  
        T = 13 in the generation of checksum for the WRAP token 
        T = 0 in the generation of sequence number for the WRAP token  
        T = 0 in the generation of encrypted data for the WRAPPED token 
    
   All strings in this document are ASCII unless otherwise specified. 
   The lengths of ASCII encoded character strings include the trailing 
   terminator character (0). 
    
   The concat(a,b,c,...) function will return the logical concatenation 
   (left to right) of the values of the arguments. 
    
   The nonce(n) function returns a pseudo-random number of "n" octets. 
    
. Checksum Types 
    
   There is one checksum type used in this encryption type. The 
   Kerberos constant for this type is: 
        #define KERB_CHECKSUM_HMAC_MD5 (-138) 
    
   The function is defined as follows: 
    
   K - is the Key 
   T - the message type, encoded as a little-endian four byte integer 
    
   CHKSUM(K, T, data) 
    
        Ksign = HMAC(K, "signaturekey")  //includes zero octet at end 
        tmp = MD5(concat(T, data)) 
        CHKSUM = HMAC(Ksign, tmp) 
    
    
. Encryption Types 
    
   There are two encryption types used in these encryption types. The 
   Kerberos constants for these types are: 
        #define KERB_ETYPE_RC4_HMAC             23 
        #define KERB_ETYPE_RC4_HMAC_EXP         24 
    
   The basic encryption function is defined as follow: 
    
   T = the message type, encoded as a little-endian four byte integer.

   including the Checksum in the RC4_MDx_HEADER.

   The character constant "fortybits" evolved from the time when a 40-
   bit key length was all that was exportable from the United States. 
   It is now used to recognize that the key length is of "exportable" 
   length. In this description, the key size is actually 56-bits. 
    
. Key Strength Negotiation 
    
   A Kerberos client and server can negotiate over key length if they 
   are using mutual authentication. If the client is unable to perform 
   full strength encryption, it may propose a key in the "subkey" field 
   of the authenticator, using a weaker encryption type. The server 
   must then either return the same key or suggest its own key in the 
   subkey field of the AP reply message. The key used to encrypt data 
   is derived from the key returned by the server. If the client is 
   able to perform strong encryption but the server is not, it may 
   propose a subkey in the AP reply without first being sent a subkey 
   in the authenticator. 

. GSSAPI Kerberos V5 Mechanism Type  

.1 Mechanism Specific Changes 
    
   The GSSAPI per-message tokens also require new checksum and 
   encryption types. The GSS-API per-message tokens must be changed to 
   support these new encryption types (See [5] Section 1.2.2). The 
   sealing algorithm identifier (SEAL_ALG) for an RC4 based encryption 
   is: 
        Byte 4..5 SEAL_ALG      0x10 0x00 - RC4 
    
   The signing algorithm identifier (SGN_ALG) for MD5 HMAC is: 
        Byte 2..3 SGN ALG       0x11 0x00 - HMAC 
    
   The only support quality of protection is: 
        #define GSS_KRB5_INTEG_C_QOP_DEFAULT    0x0 
    
   In addition, when using an RC4 based encryption type, the sequence 
   number is sent in big-endian rather than little-endian order. 
    
   The Windows 2000 implementation also defines new GSSAPI flags in the 
   initial token passed when initializing a security context. These 
   flags are passed in the checksum field of the authenticator (See [5] 
   Section 1.1.1). 
    
   GSS_C_DCE_STYLE - This flag was added for use with MicrosoftÆs 
   implementation of DCE RPC, which initially expected three legs of 
   authentication. Setting this flag causes an extra AP reply to be 
   sent from the client back to the server after receiving the serverÆs 
   AP reply. In addition, the context negotiation tokens do not have 
   GSSAPI framing - they are raw AP message and do not include object 
   identifiers. 
        #define GSS_C_DCE_STYLE                 0x1000

\f
               Windows 2000 RC4-HMAC Kerberos E-Type       June 2000 


   GSS_C_IDENTIFY_FLAG - This flag allows the client to indicate to the 
   server that it should only allow the server application to identify 
   the client by name and ID, but not to impersonate the client. 
        #define GSS_C_IDENTIFY_FLAG             0x2000 
         
   GSS_C_EXTENDED_ERROR_FLAG - Setting this flag indicates that the 
   client wants to be informed of extended error information. In 
   particular, Windows 2000 status codes may be returned in the data 
   field of a Kerberos error message. This allows the client to 
   understand a server failure more precisely. In addition, the server 
   may return errors to the client that are normally handled at the 
   application layer in the server, in order to let the client try to 
   recover. After receiving an error message, the client may attempt to 
   resubmit an AP request. 
        #define GSS_C_EXTENDED_ERROR_FLAG       0x4000 
    
   These flags are only used if a client is aware of these conventions 
   when using the SSPI on the Windows platform, they are not generally 
   used by default. 
    
   When NetBIOS addresses are used in the GSSAPI, they are identified 
   by the GSS_C_AF_NETBIOS value. This value is defined as: 
        #define GSS_C_AF_NETBIOS                0x14 
   NetBios addresses are 16-octet addresses typically composed of 1 to                                                                  th   15 characters, trailing blank (ascii char 20) filled, with a 16  
   octet of 0x0. 
    
.2 GSSAPI Checksum Type 
    
   The GSSAPI checksum type and algorithm is defined in Section 5. Only 
   the first 8 octets of the checksum are used. The resulting checksum 
   is stored in the SGN_CKSUM field (See [5] Section 1.2) for 
   GSS_GetMIC() and GSS_Wrap(conf_flag=FALSE). 
    
        MIC (K, fRC4_EXP, seq_num, MIC_hdr, msg, msg_len, 
             MIC_seq, MIC_checksum)

.3 GSSAPI Encryption Types 
    
   There are two encryption types for GSSAPI message tokens, one that 
   is 128 bits in strength, and one that is 56 bits in strength as 
   defined in Section 6. 
    
   All padding is rounded up to 1 byte. One byte is needed to say that 
   there is 1 byte of padding. The DES based mechanism type uses 8 byte 
   padding. See [5] Section 1.2.2.3. 
    
   The encryption mechanism used for GSS wrap based messages is as 
   follow: 
    
    
        WRAP (K, fRC4_EXP, seq_num, WRAP_hdr, msg, msg_len, 
              WRAP_seq, WRAP_checksum, edata, edata_len) 
        { 
            HMAC (K, SK, 13, K7); 
            T = 13; 
            PAD = 1; 
            memcpy (T_hdr_conf_msg_pad + 00, &T, 4); 
            memcpy (T_hdr_conf_msg_pad + 04, WRAP_hdr, 8); // 0101 1100 
        FFFFFFFF 
            memcpy (T_hdr_conf_msg_pad + 12, msg, msg_len); 
            memcpy (T_hdr_conf_msg_pad + 12 + msg_len, &PAD, 1); 
            MD5 (T_hdr_conf_msg_pad, 
                 4 + 8 + 8 + msg_len + 1, 
                 MD5_of_T_hdr_conf_msg_pad); 
            HMAC (K7, MD5_of_T_hdr_conf_msg_pad, CHKSUM); 
            memcpy (WRAP_checksum, CHKSUM, 8); // use only first 8 
        bytes 
          
            T = 0; 
            if (fRC4_EXP){  
                *((DWORD *)(L40+10)) = T; 
                HMAC (K, L40, 14, K8); 
            }else{ 
                HMAC (K, &T, 4, K8);

        edata); /* skip T & hdr */

   The character constant "fortybits" evolved from the time when a 40-
   bit key length was all that was exportable from the United States. 
   It is now used to recognize that the key length is of "exportable" 
   length. In this description, the key size is actually 56-bits. 
    
. Security Considerations 

   Care must be taken in implementing this encryption type because it 
   uses a stream cipher. If a different IV isnÆt used in each direction 
   when using a session key, the encryption is weak. By using the 
   sequence number as an IV, this is avoided.
