RFC 5054 Using SRP for TLS Authentication November 2007
1. Introduction
At the time of writing TLS [TLS] uses public key certificates, pre-
shared keys, or Kerberos for authentication.
These authentication methods do not seem well suited to certain
applications now being adapted to use TLS ([IMAP], for example).
Given that many protocols are designed to use the user name and
password method of authentication, being able to safely use user
names and passwords provides an easier route to additional security.
SRP ([SRP], [SRP-6]) is an authentication method that allows the use
of user names and passwords over unencrypted channels without
revealing the password to an eavesdropper. SRP also supplies a
shared secret at the end of the authentication sequence that can be
used to generate encryption keys.
This document describes the use of the SRP authentication method for
TLS.
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 [REQ].
2. SRP Authentication in TLS
2.1. Notation and Terminology
The version of SRP used here is sometimes referred to as "SRP-6"
[SRP-6]. This version is a slight improvement over "SRP-3", which
was described in [SRP] and [SRP-RFC]. For convenience, this document
and [SRP-RFC] include the details necessary to implement SRP-6;
[SRP-6] is cited for informative purposes only.
Taylor, et al. Informational [Page 3]
RFC 5054 Using SRP for TLS Authentication November 2007
This document uses the variable names defined in [SRP-6]:
N, g: group parameters (prime and generator)
s: salt
B, b: server's public and private values
A, a: client's public and private values
I: user name (aka "identity")
P: password
v: verifier
k: SRP-6 multiplier
The | symbol indicates string concatenation, the ^ operator is the
exponentiation operation, and the % operator is the integer remainder
operation.
Conversion between integers and byte-strings assumes the most
significant bytes are stored first, as per [TLS] and [SRP-RFC]. In
the following text, if a conversion from integer to byte-string is
implicit, the most significant byte in the resultant byte-string MUST
be non-zero. If a conversion is explicitly specified with the
operator PAD(), the integer will first be implicitly converted, then
the resultant byte-string will be left-padded with zeros (if
necessary) until its length equals the implicitly-converted length of
N.
2.2. Handshake Protocol Overview
The advent of [SRP-6] allows the SRP protocol to be implemented using
the standard sequence of handshake messages defined in [TLS].
The parameters to various messages are given in the following
diagram.

Figure 1
2.3. Text Preparation
The user name and password strings SHALL be UTF-8 encoded Unicode,
prepared using the [SASLPREP] profile of [STRINGPREP].
2.4. SRP Verifier Creation
The verifier is calculated as described in Section 3 of [SRP-RFC].
We give the algorithm here for convenience.
The verifier (v) is computed based on the salt (s), user name (I),
password (P), and group parameters (N, g). The computation uses the
[SHA1] hash algorithm:
x = SHA1(s | SHA1(I | ":" | P))
v = g^x % N
2.5. Changes to the Handshake Message Contents
This section describes the changes to the TLS handshake message
contents when SRP is being used for authentication. The definitions
of the new message contents and the on-the-wire changes are given in
Section 2.8.
Taylor, et al. Informational [Page 5]
RFC 5054 Using SRP for TLS Authentication November 2007
2.5.1. Client Hello
The user name is appended to the standard client hello message using
the extension mechanism defined in [TLSEXT] (see Section 2.8.1).
This user name extension is henceforth called the "SRP extension".
The following subsections give details of its use.
2.5.1.1. Session Resumption
When a client attempts to resume a session that uses SRP
authentication, the client MUST include the SRP extension in the
client hello message, in case the server cannot or will not allow
session resumption, meaning a full handshake is required.
If the server does agree to resume an existing session, the server
MUST ignore the information in the SRP extension of the client hello
message, except for its inclusion in the finished message hashes.
This is to ensure that attackers cannot replace the authenticated
identity without supplying the proper authentication information.
2.5.1.2. Missing SRP Extension
The client may offer SRP cipher suites in the hello message but omit
the SRP extension. If the server would like to select an SRP cipher
suite in this case, the server SHOULD return a fatal
"unknown_psk_identity" alert (see Section 2.9) immediately after
processing the client hello message.
A client receiving this alert MAY choose to reconnect and resend the
hello message, this time with the SRP extension. This allows the
client to advertise that it supports SRP, but not have to prompt the
user for his user name and password, nor expose the user name in the
clear, unless necessary.
2.5.1.3. Unknown SRP User Name
If the server doesn't have a verifier for the user name in the SRP
extension, the server MAY abort the handshake with an
"unknown_psk_identity" alert (see Section 2.9). Alternatively, if
the server wishes to hide the fact that this user name doesn't have a
verifier, the server MAY simulate the protocol as if a verifier
existed, but then reject the client's finished message with a
"bad_record_mac" alert, as if the password was incorrect.
To simulate the existence of an entry for each user name, the server
must consistently return the same salt (s) and group (N, g) values
for the same user name. For example, the server could store a secret
"seed key" and then use HMAC-SHA1(seed_key, "salt" | user_name) to
Taylor, et al. Informational [Page 6]
RFC 5054 Using SRP for TLS Authentication November 2007
generate the salts [HMAC]. For B, the server can return a random
value between 1 and N-1 inclusive. However, the server should take
care to simulate computation delays. One way to do this is to
generate a fake verifier using the "seed key" approach, and then
proceed with the protocol as usual.
2.5.2. Server Certificate
The server MUST send a certificate if it agrees to an SRP cipher
suite that requires the server to provide additional authentication
in the form of a digital signature. See Section 2.7 for details of
which cipher suites defined in this document require a server
certificate to be sent.
2.5.3. Server Key Exchange
The server key exchange message contains the prime (N), the generator
(g), and the salt value (s) read from the SRP password file based on
the user name (I) received in the client hello extension.
The server key exchange message also contains the server's public
value (B). The server calculates this value as B = k*v + g^b % N,
where b is a random number that SHOULD be at least 256 bits in length
and k = SHA1(N | PAD(g)).
If the server has sent a certificate message, the server key exchange
message MUST be signed.
The group parameters (N, g) sent in this message MUST have N as a
safe prime (a prime of the form N=2q+1, where q is also prime). The
integers from 1 to N-1 will form a group under multiplication % N,
and g MUST be a generator of this group. In addition, the group
parameters MUST NOT be specially chosen to allow efficient
computation of discrete logarithms.
The SRP group parameters in Appendix A satisfy the above
requirements, so the client SHOULD accept any parameters from this
appendix that have large enough N values to meet her security
requirements.
The client MAY accept other group parameters from the server, if the
client has reason to believe that these parameters satisfy the above
requirements, and the parameters have large enough N values. For
example, if the parameters transmitted by the server match parameters
on a "known-good" list, the client may choose to accept them. See
Section 3 for additional security considerations relevant to the
acceptance of the group parameters.
Taylor, et al. Informational [Page 7]
RFC 5054 Using SRP for TLS Authentication November 2007
Group parameters that are not accepted via one of the above methods
MUST be rejected with an "insufficient_security" alert (see
Section 2.9).
The client MUST abort the handshake with an "illegal_parameter" alert
if B % N = 0.
2.5.4. Client Key Exchange
The client key exchange message carries the client's public value
(A). The client calculates this value as A = g^a % N, where a is a
random number that SHOULD be at least 256 bits in length.
The server MUST abort the handshake with an "illegal_parameter" alert
if A % N = 0.
2.6. Calculating the Premaster Secret
The premaster secret is calculated by the client as follows:
I, P = <read from user>
N, g, s, B = <read from server>
a = random()
A = g^a % N
u = SHA1(PAD(A) | PAD(B))
k = SHA1(N | PAD(g))
x = SHA1(s | SHA1(I | ":" | P))
<premaster secret> = (B - (k * g^x)) ^ (a + (u * x)) % N
The premaster secret is calculated by the server as follows:
N, g, s, v = <read from password file>
b = random()
k = SHA1(N | PAD(g))
B = k*v + g^b % N
A = <read from client>
u = SHA1(PAD(A) | PAD(B))
<premaster secret> = (A * v^u) ^ b % N
The finished messages perform the same function as the client and
server evidence messages (M1 and M2) specified in [SRP-RFC]. If
either the client or the server calculates an incorrect premaster
secret, the finished messages will fail to decrypt properly, and the
other party will return a "bad_record_mac" alert.
If a client application receives a "bad_record_mac" alert when
performing an SRP handshake, it should inform the user that the
entered user name and password are incorrect.
Taylor, et al. Informational [Page 8]
RFC 5054 Using SRP for TLS Authentication November 2007
2.7. Ciphersuite Definitions
The following cipher suites are added by this document. The usage of
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) cipher suites is as defined in
[AESCIPH].
CipherSuite TLS_SRP_SHA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA = { 0xC0,0x1A };
CipherSuite TLS_SRP_SHA_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA = { 0xC0,0x1B };
CipherSuite TLS_SRP_SHA_DSS_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA = { 0xC0,0x1C };
CipherSuite TLS_SRP_SHA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA = { 0xC0,0x1D };
CipherSuite TLS_SRP_SHA_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA = { 0xC0,0x1E };
CipherSuite TLS_SRP_SHA_DSS_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA = { 0xC0,0x1F };
CipherSuite TLS_SRP_SHA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA = { 0xC0,0x20 };
CipherSuite TLS_SRP_SHA_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA = { 0xC0,0x21 };
CipherSuite TLS_SRP_SHA_DSS_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA = { 0xC0,0x22 };
Cipher suites that begin with TLS_SRP_SHA_RSA or TLS_SRP_SHA_DSS
require the server to send a certificate message containing a
certificate with the specified type of public key, and to sign the
server key exchange message using a matching private key.
Cipher suites that do not include a digital signature algorithm
identifier assume that the server is authenticated by its possession
of the SRP verifier.
Implementations conforming to this specification MUST implement the
TLS_SRP_SHA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA cipher suite, SHOULD implement the
TLS_SRP_SHA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA and TLS_SRP_SHA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA
cipher suites, and MAY implement the remaining cipher suites.
2.8. New Message Structures
This section shows the structure of the messages passed during a
handshake that uses SRP for authentication. The representation
language used is the same as that used in [TLS].
Taylor, et al. Informational [Page 9]
RFC 5054 Using SRP for TLS Authentication November 2007
2.8.1. Client Hello
A new extension "srp", with value 12, has been added to the
enumerated ExtensionType defined in [TLSEXT]. This value MUST be
used as the extension number for the SRP extension.
The "extension_data" field of the SRP extension SHALL contain:
opaque srp_I<1..2^8-1>;
where srp_I is the user name, encoded per Section 2.3.
2.8.2. Server Key Exchange
A new value, "srp", has been added to the enumerated
KeyExchangeAlgorithm originally defined in [TLS].
When the value of KeyExchangeAlgorithm is set to "srp", the server's
SRP parameters are sent in the server key exchange message, encoded
in a ServerSRPParams structure.
If a certificate is sent to the client, the server key exchange
message must be signed.
enum { rsa, diffie_hellman, srp } KeyExchangeAlgorithm;
struct {
select (KeyExchangeAlgorithm) {
case diffie_hellman:
ServerDHParams params;
Signature signed_params;
case rsa:
ServerRSAParams params;
Signature signed_params;
case srp: /* new entry */
ServerSRPParams params;
Signature signed_params;
};
} ServerKeyExchange;
struct {
opaque srp_N<1..2^16-1>;
opaque srp_g<1..2^16-1>;
opaque srp_s<1..2^8-1>;
opaque srp_B<1..2^16-1>;
} ServerSRPParams; /* SRP parameters */
Taylor, et al. Informational [Page 10]
RFC 5054 Using SRP for TLS Authentication November 2007
2.8.3. Client Key Exchange
When the value of KeyExchangeAlgorithm is set to "srp", the client's
public value (A) is sent in the client key exchange message, encoded
in a ClientSRPPublic structure.
struct {
select (KeyExchangeAlgorithm) {
case rsa: EncryptedPreMasterSecret;
case diffie_hellman: ClientDiffieHellmanPublic;
case srp: ClientSRPPublic; /* new entry */
} exchange_keys;
} ClientKeyExchange;
struct {
opaque srp_A<1..2^16-1>;
} ClientSRPPublic;
2.9. Error Alerts
This document introduces four new uses of alerts:
o "unknown_psk_identity" (115) - this alert MAY be sent by a server
that would like to select an offered SRP cipher suite, if the SRP
extension is absent from the client's hello message. This alert
is always fatal. See Section 2.5.1.2 for details.
o "unknown_psk_identity" (115) - this alert MAY be sent by a server
that receives an unknown user name. This alert is always fatal.
See Section 2.5.1.3 for details.
o "insufficient_security" (71) - this alert MUST be sent by a client
that receives unknown or untrusted (N, g) values. This alert is
always fatal. See Section 2.5.3 for details.
o "illegal_parameter" (47) - this alert MUST be sent by a client or
server that receives a key exchange message with A % N = 0 or B %
N = 0. This alert is always fatal. See Section 2.5.3 and
Section 2.5.4 and for details.
The "insufficient_security" and "illegal_parameter" alerts are
defined in [TLS]. The "unknown_psk_identity" alert is defined in
[PSK].
Taylor, et al. Informational [Page 11]
RFC 5054 Using SRP for TLS Authentication November 2007
3. Security Considerations
3.1. General Considerations for Implementors
The checks described in Section 2.5.3 and Section 2.5.4 on the
received values for A and B are CRUCIAL for security and MUST be
performed.
The private values a and b SHOULD be at least 256-bit random numbers,
to give approximately 128 bits of security against certain methods of
calculating discrete logarithms. See [TLS], Section D.1, for advice
on choosing cryptographically secure random numbers.
3.2. Accepting Group Parameters
An attacker who could calculate discrete logarithms % N could
compromise user passwords, and could also compromise the
confidentiality and integrity of TLS sessions. Clients MUST ensure
that the received parameter N is large enough to make calculating
discrete logarithms computationally infeasible.
An attacker may try to send a prime value N that is large enough to
be secure, but that has a special form for which the attacker can
more easily compute discrete logarithms (e.g., using the algorithm
discussed in [TRAPDOOR]). If the client executes the protocol using
such a prime, the client's password could be compromised. Because of
the difficulty of checking for such primes in real time, clients
SHOULD only accept group parameters that come from a trusted source,
such as those listed in Appendix A, or parameters configured locally
by a trusted administrator.
3.3. Protocol Characteristics
If an attacker learns a user's SRP verifier (e.g., by gaining access
to a server's password file), the attacker can masquerade as the real
server to that user, and can also attempt a dictionary attack to
recover that user's password.
An attacker could repeatedly contact an SRP server and try to guess a
legitimate user's password. Servers SHOULD take steps to prevent
this, such as limiting the rate of authentication attempts from a
particular IP address or against a particular user name.
The client's user name is sent in the clear in the Client Hello
message. To avoid sending the user name in the clear, the client
could first open a conventional anonymous or server-authenticated
connection, then renegotiate an SRP-authenticated connection with the
handshake protected by the first connection.
Taylor, et al. Informational [Page 12]
RFC 5054 Using SRP for TLS Authentication November 2007
If the client receives an "unknown_psk_identity" alert in response to
a client hello, this alert may have been inserted by an attacker.
The client should be careful about making any decisions, or forming
any conclusions, based on receiving this alert.
It is possible to choose a (user name, password) pair such that the
resulting verifier will also match other, related, (user name,
password) pairs. Thus, anyone using verifiers should be careful not
to assume that only a single (user name, password) pair matches the
verifier.
3.4. Hash Function Considerations
This protocol uses SHA-1 to derive several values:
o u prevents an attacker who learns a user's verifier from being
able to authenticate as that user (see [SRP-6]).
o k prevents an attacker who can select group parameters from being
able to launch a 2-for-1 guessing attack (see [SRP-6]).
o x contains the user's password mixed with a salt.
Cryptanalytic attacks against SHA-1 that only affect its collision-
resistance do not compromise these uses. If attacks against SHA-1
are discovered that do compromise these uses, new cipher suites
should be specified to use a different hash algorithm.
In this situation, clients could send a Client Hello message
containing new and/or old SRP cipher suites along with a single SRP
extension. The server could then select the appropriate cipher suite
based on the type of verifier it has stored for this user.
4. IANA Considerations
This document defines a new TLS extension "srp" (value 12), whose
value has been assigned from the TLS ExtensionType Registry defined
in [TLSEXT].
This document defines nine new cipher suites, whose values have been
assigned from the TLS Ciphersuite registry defined in [TLS].
CipherSuite TLS_SRP_SHA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA = { 0xC0,0x1A };
CipherSuite TLS_SRP_SHA_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA = { 0xC0,0x1B };
CipherSuite TLS_SRP_SHA_DSS_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA = { 0xC0,0x1C };
Taylor, et al. Informational [Page 13]
RFC 5054 Using SRP for TLS Authentication November 2007
CipherSuite TLS_SRP_SHA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA = { 0xC0,0x1D };
CipherSuite TLS_SRP_SHA_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA = { 0xC0,0x1E };
CipherSuite TLS_SRP_SHA_DSS_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA = { 0xC0,0x1F };
CipherSuite TLS_SRP_SHA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA = { 0xC0,0x20 };
CipherSuite TLS_SRP_SHA_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA = { 0xC0,0x21 };
CipherSuite TLS_SRP_SHA_DSS_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA = { 0xC0,0x22 };

The 1024-, 1536-, and 2048-bit groups are taken from software
developed by Tom Wu and Eugene Jhong for the Stanford SRP
distribution, and subsequently proven to be prime. The larger primes
are taken from [MODP], but generators have been calculated that are
primitive roots of N, unlike the generators in [MODP].
The 1024-bit and 1536-bit groups MUST be supported.
1. 1024-bit Group
