6.4.  Checksums

   The following is the ASN.1 definition used for a checksum:

            Checksum ::=   SEQUENCE {
                           cksumtype[0]   INTEGER,
                           checksum[1]    OCTET STRING
            }

   cksumtype This field indicates the algorithm used to generate the
             accompanying checksum.

   checksum  This field contains the checksum itself, encoded
             as an octet string.

   Detailed specification of selected checksum types appear later in
   this section.  Negative values for the checksum type are reserved for
   local use.  All non-negative values are reserved for officially
   assigned type fields and interpretations.

   Checksums used by Kerberos can be classified by two properties:
   whether they are collision-proof, and whether they are keyed.  It is
   infeasible to find two plaintexts which generate the same checksum
   value for a collision-proof checksum.  A key is required to perturb
   or initialize the algorithm in a keyed checksum.  To prevent
   message-stream modification by an active attacker, unkeyed checksums
   should only be used when the checksum and message will be
   subsequently encrypted (e.g., the checksums defined as part of the
   encryption algorithms covered earlier in this section).  Collision-
   proof checksums can be made tamper-proof as well if the checksum
   value is encrypted before inclusion in a message.  In such cases, the
   composition of the checksum and the encryption algorithm must be
   considered a separate checksum algorithm (e.g., RSA-MD5 encrypted
   using DES is a new checksum algorithm of type RSA-MD5-DES).  For most
   keyed checksums, as well as for the encrypted forms of collisionproof
   checksums, Kerberos prepends a confounder before the checksum is
   calculated.

6.4.1. The CRC-32 Checksum (crc32)

   The CRC-32 checksum calculates a checksum based on a cyclic
   redundancy check as described in ISO 3309 [14].  The resulting
   checksum is four (4) octets in length.  The CRC-32 is neither keyed
   nor collision-proof.  The use of this checksum is not recommended.
   An attacker using a probabilistic chosen-plaintext attack as
   described in [13] might be able to generate an alternative message
   that satisfies the checksum.  The use of collision-proof checksums is
   recommended for environments where such attacks represent a
ToP   noToC   RFC1510 - Page 75
   significant threat.

6.4.2. The RSA MD4 Checksum (rsa-md4)

   The RSA-MD4 checksum calculates a checksum using the RSA MD4
   algorithm [15].  The algorithm takes as input an input message of
   arbitrary length and produces as output a 128-bit (16 octet)
   checksum.  RSA-MD4 is believed to be collision-proof.

6.4.3. RSA MD4 Cryptographic Checksum Using DES (rsa-md4des)

   The RSA-MD4-DES checksum calculates a keyed collisionproof checksum
   by prepending an 8 octet confounder before the text, applying the RSA
   MD4 checksum algorithm, and encrypting the confounder and the
   checksum using DES in cipher-block-chaining (CBC) mode using a
   variant of the key, where the variant is computed by eXclusive-ORing
   the key with the constant F0F0F0F0F0F0F0F0 (A variant of the key is
   used to limit the use of a key to a particular function, separating
   the functions of generating a checksum from other encryption
   performed using the session key.  The constant F0F0F0F0F0F0F0F0 was
   chosen because it maintains key parity.  The properties of DES
   precluded the use of the complement.  The same constant is used for
   similar purpose in the Message Integrity Check in the Privacy
   Enhanced Mail standard.).  The initialization vector should be zero.
   The resulting checksum is 24 octets long (8 octets of which are
   redundant).  This checksum is tamper-proof and believed to be
   collision-proof.

   The DES specifications identify some "weak keys"; those keys shall
   not be used for generating RSA-MD4 checksums for use in Kerberos.

   The format for the checksum is described in the following diagram:

      +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--
      |  des-cbc(confounder
      +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--

                    +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
                        rsa-md4(confounder+msg),key=var(key),iv=0)  |
                    +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+

   The format cannot be described in ASN.1, but for those who prefer an
   ASN.1-like notation:

   rsa-md4-des-checksum ::=   ENCRYPTED       UNTAGGED SEQUENCE {
                              confounder[0]   UNTAGGED OCTET STRING(8),
                              check[1]        UNTAGGED OCTET STRING(16)
   }
ToP   noToC   RFC1510 - Page 76
6.4.4. The RSA MD5 Checksum (rsa-md5)

   The RSA-MD5 checksum calculates a checksum using the RSA MD5
   algorithm [16].  The algorithm takes as input an input message of
   arbitrary length and produces as output a 128-bit (16 octet)
   checksum.  RSA-MD5 is believed to be collision-proof.

6.4.5. RSA MD5 Cryptographic Checksum Using DES (rsa-md5des)

   The RSA-MD5-DES checksum calculates a keyed collisionproof checksum
   by prepending an 8 octet confounder before the text, applying the RSA
   MD5 checksum algorithm, and encrypting the confounder and the
   checksum using DES in cipher-block-chaining (CBC) mode using a
   variant of the key, where the variant is computed by eXclusive-ORing
   the key with the constant F0F0F0F0F0F0F0F0.  The initialization
   vector should be zero.  The resulting checksum is 24 octets long (8
   octets of which are redundant).  This checksum is tamper-proof and
   believed to be collision-proof.

   The DES specifications identify some "weak keys"; those keys shall
   not be used for encrypting RSA-MD5 checksums for use in Kerberos.

   The format for the checksum is described in the following diagram:

      +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--
      |  des-cbc(confounder
      +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--

                     +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
                         rsa-md5(confounder+msg),key=var(key),iv=0)  |
                     +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+

   The format cannot be described in ASN.1, but for those who prefer an
   ASN.1-like notation:

   rsa-md5-des-checksum ::=   ENCRYPTED       UNTAGGED SEQUENCE {
                              confounder[0]   UNTAGGED OCTET STRING(8),
                              check[1]        UNTAGGED OCTET STRING(16)
   }

6.4.6. DES cipher-block chained checksum (des-mac)

   The DES-MAC checksum is computed by prepending an 8 octet confounder
   to the plaintext, performing a DES CBC-mode encryption on the result
   using the key and an initialization vector of zero, taking the last
   block of the ciphertext, prepending the same confounder and
   encrypting the pair using DES in cipher-block-chaining (CBC) mode
   using a a variant of the key, where the variant is computed by
ToP   noToC   RFC1510 - Page 77
   eXclusive-ORing the key with the constant F0F0F0F0F0F0F0F0.  The
   initialization vector should be zero.  The resulting checksum is 128
   bits (16 octets) long, 64 bits of which are redundant. This checksum
   is tamper-proof and collision-proof.

   The format for the checksum is described in the following diagram:

      +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--
      |   des-cbc(confounder
      +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--

                     +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
                       des-mac(conf+msg,iv=0,key),key=var(key),iv=0) |
                     +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+

   The format cannot be described in ASN.1, but for those who prefer an
   ASN.1-like notation:

   des-mac-checksum ::=    ENCRYPTED       UNTAGGED SEQUENCE {
                           confounder[0]   UNTAGGED OCTET STRING(8),
                           check[1]        UNTAGGED OCTET STRING(8)
   }

   The DES specifications identify some "weak" and "semiweak" keys;
   those keys shall not be used for generating DES-MAC checksums for use
   in Kerberos, nor shall a key be used whose veriant is "weak" or
   "semi-weak".

6.4.7. RSA MD4 Cryptographic Checksum Using DES alternative
       (rsa-md4-des-k)

   The RSA-MD4-DES-K checksum calculates a keyed collision-proof
   checksum by applying the RSA MD4 checksum algorithm and encrypting
   the results using DES in cipherblock-chaining (CBC) mode using a DES
   key as both key and initialization vector. The resulting checksum is
   16 octets long. This checksum is tamper-proof and believed to be
   collision-proof.  Note that this checksum type is the old method for
   encoding the RSA-MD4-DES checksum and it is no longer recommended.

6.4.8. DES cipher-block chained checksum alternative (desmac-k)

   The DES-MAC-K checksum is computed by performing a DES CBC-mode
   encryption of the plaintext, and using the last block of the
   ciphertext as the checksum value. It is keyed with an encryption key
   and an initialization vector; any uses which do not specify an
   additional initialization vector will use the key as both key and
   initialization vector.  The resulting checksum is 64 bits (8 octets)
   long. This checksum is tamper-proof and collision-proof.  Note that
ToP   noToC   RFC1510 - Page 78
   this checksum type is the old method for encoding the DESMAC checksum
   and it is no longer recommended.

   The DES specifications identify some "weak keys"; those keys shall
   not be used for generating DES-MAC checksums for use in Kerberos.

7.  Naming Constraints

7.1.  Realm Names

   Although realm names are encoded as GeneralStrings and although a
   realm can technically select any name it chooses, interoperability
   across realm boundaries requires agreement on how realm names are to
   be assigned, and what information they imply.

   To enforce these conventions, each realm must conform to the
   conventions itself, and it must require that any realms with which
   inter-realm keys are shared also conform to the conventions and
   require the same from its neighbors.

   There are presently four styles of realm names: domain, X500, other,
   and reserved.  Examples of each style follow:

        domain:   host.subdomain.domain (example)
          X500:   C=US/O=OSF (example)
         other:   NAMETYPE:rest/of.name=without-restrictions (example)
      reserved:   reserved, but will not conflict with above

   Domain names must look like domain names: they consist of components
   separated by periods (.) and they contain neither colons (:) nor
   slashes (/).

   X.500 names contain an equal (=) and cannot contain a colon (:)
   before the equal.  The realm names for X.500 names will be string
   representations of the names with components separated by slashes.
   Leading and trailing slashes will not be included.

   Names that fall into the other category must begin with a prefix that
   contains no equal (=) or period (.) and the prefix must be followed
   by a colon (:) and the rest of the name. All prefixes must be
   assigned before they may be used.  Presently none are assigned.

   The reserved category includes strings which do not fall into the
   first three categories.  All names in this category are reserved. It
   is unlikely that names will be assigned to this category unless there
   is a very strong argument for not using the "other" category.

   These rules guarantee that there will be no conflicts between the
ToP   noToC   RFC1510 - Page 79
   various name styles.  The following additional constraints apply to
   the assignment of realm names in the domain and X.500 categories: the
   name of a realm for the domain or X.500 formats must either be used
   by the organization owning (to whom it was assigned) an Internet
   domain name or X.500 name, or in the case that no such names are
   registered, authority to use a realm name may be derived from the
   authority of the parent realm.  For example, if there is no domain
   name for E40.MIT.EDU, then the administrator of the MIT.EDU realm can
   authorize the creation of a realm with that name.

   This is acceptable because the organization to which the parent is
   assigned is presumably the organization authorized to assign names to
   its children in the X.500 and domain name systems as well.  If the
   parent assigns a realm name without also registering it in the domain
   name or X.500 hierarchy, it is the parent's responsibility to make
   sure that there will not in the future exists a name identical to the
   realm name of the child unless it is assigned to the same entity as
   the realm name.

7.2.  Principal Names

   As was the case for realm names, conventions are needed to ensure
   that all agree on what information is implied by a principal name.
   The name-type field that is part of the principal name indicates the
   kind of information implied by the name.  The name-type should be
   treated as a hint.  Ignoring the name type, no two names can be the
   same (i.e., at least one of the components, or the realm, must be
   different).  This constraint may be eliminated in the future.  The
   following name types are defined:

      name-type      value   meaning
      NT-UNKNOWN       0     Name type not known
      NT-PRINCIPAL     1     Just the name of the principal as in
                             DCE, or for users
      NT-SRV-INST      2     Service and other unique instance (krbtgt)
      NT-SRV-HST       3     Service with host name as instance
                             (telnet, rcommands)
      NT-SRV-XHST      4     Service with host as remaining components
      NT-UID           5     Unique ID

   When a name implies no information other than its uniqueness at a
   particular time the name type PRINCIPAL should be used.  The
   principal name type should be used for users, and it might also be
   used for a unique server.  If the name is a unique machine generated
   ID that is guaranteed never to be reassigned then the name type of
   UID should be used (note that it is generally a bad idea to reassign
   names of any type since stale entries might remain in access control
   lists).
ToP   noToC   RFC1510 - Page 80
   If the first component of a name identifies a service and the
   remaining components identify an instance of the service in a server
   specified manner, then the name type of SRV-INST should be used.  An
   example of this name type is the Kerberos ticket-granting ticket
   which has a first component of krbtgt and a second component
   identifying the realm for which the ticket is valid.

   If instance is a single component following the service name and the
   instance identifies the host on which the server is running, then the
   name type SRV-HST should be used. This type is typically used for
   Internet services such as telnet and the Berkeley R commands.  If the
   separate components of the host name appear as successive components
   following the name of the service, then the name type SRVXHST should
   be used.  This type might be used to identify servers on hosts with
   X.500 names where the slash (/) might otherwise be ambiguous.

   A name type of UNKNOWN should be used when the form of the name is
   not known. When comparing names, a name of type UNKNOWN will match
   principals authenticated with names of any type.  A principal
   authenticated with a name of type UNKNOWN, however, will only match
   other names of type UNKNOWN.

   Names of any type with an initial component of "krbtgt" are reserved
   for the Kerberos ticket granting service.  See section 8.2.3 for the
   form of such names.

7.2.1. Name of server principals

   The principal identifier for a server on a host will generally be
   composed of two parts: (1) the realm of the KDC with which the server
   is registered, and (2) a two-component name of type NT-SRV-HST if the
   host name is an Internet domain name or a multi-component name of
   type NT-SRV-XHST if the name of the host is of a form such as X.500
   that allows slash (/) separators.  The first component of the two- or
   multi-component name will identify the service and the latter
   components will identify the host.  Where the name of the host is not
   case sensitive (for example, with Internet domain names) the name of
   the host must be lower case.  For services such as telnet and the
   Berkeley R commands which run with system privileges, the first
   component will be the string "host" instead of a service specific
   identifier.

8.  Constants and other defined values

8.1.  Host address types

   All negative values for the host address type are reserved for local
   use.  All non-negative values are reserved for officially assigned
ToP   noToC   RFC1510 - Page 81
   type fields and interpretations.

   The values of the types for the following addresses are chosen to
   match the defined address family constants in the Berkeley Standard
   Distributions of Unix.  They can be found in <sys/socket.h> with
   symbolic names AF_xxx (where xxx is an abbreviation of the address
   family name).


   Internet addresses

      Internet addresses are 32-bit (4-octet) quantities, encoded in MSB
      order.  The type of internet addresses is two (2).

   CHAOSnet addresses

      CHAOSnet addresses are 16-bit (2-octet) quantities, encoded in MSB
      order.  The type of CHAOSnet addresses is five (5).

   ISO addresses

      ISO addresses are variable-length.  The type of ISO addresses is
      seven (7).

   Xerox Network Services (XNS) addresses

      XNS addresses are 48-bit (6-octet) quantities, encoded in MSB
      order.  The type of XNS addresses is six (6).

   AppleTalk Datagram Delivery Protocol (DDP) addresses

      AppleTalk DDP addresses consist of an 8-bit node number and a 16-
      bit network number.  The first octet of the address is the node
      number; the remaining two octets encode the network number in MSB
      order. The type of AppleTalk DDP addresses is sixteen (16).

   DECnet Phase IV addresses

      DECnet Phase IV addresses are 16-bit addresses, encoded in LSB
      order.  The type of DECnet Phase IV addresses is twelve (12).

8.2.  KDC messages

8.2.1. IP transport

   When contacting a Kerberos server (KDC) for a KRB_KDC_REQ request
   using IP transport, the client shall send a UDP datagram containing
   only an encoding of the request to port 88 (decimal) at the KDC's IP
ToP   noToC   RFC1510 - Page 82
   address; the KDC will respond with a reply datagram containing only
   an encoding of the reply message (either a KRB_ERROR or a
   KRB_KDC_REP) to the sending port at the sender's IP address.

8.2.2. OSI transport

   During authentication of an OSI client to and OSI server, the mutual
   authentication of an OSI server to an OSI client, the transfer of
   credentials from an OSI client to an OSI server, or during exchange
   of private or integrity checked messages, Kerberos protocol messages
   may be treated as opaque objects and the type of the authentication
   mechanism will be:

   OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {iso (1), org(3), dod(5),internet(1),
                          security(5), kerberosv5(2)}

   Depending on the situation, the opaque object will be an
   authentication header (KRB_AP_REQ), an authentication reply
   (KRB_AP_REP), a safe message (KRB_SAFE), a private message
   (KRB_PRIV), or a credentials message (KRB_CRED).  The opaque data
   contains an application code as specified in the ASN.1 description
   for each message.  The application code may be used by Kerberos to
   determine the message type.

8.2.3. Name of the TGS

   The principal identifier of the ticket-granting service shall be
   composed of three parts: (1) the realm of the KDC issuing the TGS
   ticket (2) a two-part name of type NT-SRVINST, with the first part
   "krbtgt" and the second part the name of the realm which will accept
   the ticket-granting ticket.  For example, a ticket-granting ticket
   issued by the ATHENA.MIT.EDU realm to be used to get tickets from the
   ATHENA.MIT.EDU KDC has a principal identifier of "ATHENA.MIT.EDU"
   (realm), ("krbtgt", "ATHENA.MIT.EDU") (name).  A ticket-granting
   ticket issued by the ATHENA.MIT.EDU realm to be used to get tickets
   from the MIT.EDU realm has a principal identifier of "ATHENA.MIT.EDU"
   (realm), ("krbtgt", "MIT.EDU") (name).

9.  Interoperability requirements

   Version 5 of the Kerberos protocol supports a myriad of options.
   Among these are multiple encryption and checksum types, alternative
   encoding schemes for the transited field, optional mechanisms for
   pre-authentication, the handling of tickets with no addresses,
   options for mutual authentication, user to user authentication,
   support for proxies, forwarding, postdating, and renewing tickets,
   the format of realm names, and the handling of authorization data.

   In order to ensure the interoperability of realms, it is necessary to
   define a minimal configuration which must be supported by all
   implementations.  This minimal configuration is subject to change as
   technology does. For example, if at some later date it is discovered
   that one of the required encryption or checksum algorithms is not
   secure, it will be replaced.

9.1.  Specification 1

   This section defines the first specification of these options.
   Implementations which are configured in this way can be said to
   support Kerberos Version 5 Specification 1 (5.1).

   Encryption and checksum methods

   The following encryption and checksum mechanisms must be supported.
   Implementations may support other mechanisms as well, but the
   additional mechanisms may only be used when communicating with
   principals known to also support them: Encryption: DES-CBC-MD5
   Checksums: CRC-32, DES-MAC, DES-MAC-K, and DES-MD5

   Realm Names

   All implementations must understand hierarchical realms in both the
   Internet Domain and the X.500 style.  When a ticket granting ticket
   for an unknown realm is requested, the KDC must be able to determine
   the names of the intermediate realms between the KDCs realm and the
   requested realm.
ToP   noToC   RFC1510 - Page 87
   Transited field encoding

   DOMAIN-X500-COMPRESS (described in section 3.3.3.1) must be
   supported.  Alternative encodings may be supported, but they may be
   used only when that encoding is supported by ALL intermediate realms.

   Pre-authentication methods

   The TGS-REQ method must be supported.  The TGS-REQ method is not used
   on the initial request. The PA-ENC-TIMESTAMP method must be supported
   by clients but whether it is enabled by default may be determined on
   a realm by realm basis. If not used in the initial request and the
   error KDC_ERR_PREAUTH_REQUIRED is returned specifying PA-ENCTIMESTAMP
   as an acceptable method, the client should retry the initial request
   using the PA-ENC-TIMESTAMP preauthentication method. Servers need not
   support the PAENC-TIMESTAMP method, but if not supported the server
   should ignore the presence of PA-ENC-TIMESTAMP pre-authentication in
   a request.

   Mutual authentication

   Mutual authentication (via the KRB_AP_REP message) must be supported.

   Ticket addresses and flags

   All KDC's must pass on tickets that carry no addresses (i.e.,  if a
   TGT contains no addresses, the KDC will return derivative tickets),
   but each realm may set its own policy for issuing such tickets, and
   each application server will set its own policy with respect to
   accepting them. By default, servers should not accept them.

   Proxies and forwarded tickets must be supported.  Individual realms
   and application servers can set their own policy on when such tickets
   will be accepted.

   All implementations must recognize renewable and postdated tickets,
   but need not actually implement them.  If these options are not
   supported, the starttime and endtime in the ticket shall specify a
   ticket's entire useful life.  When a postdated ticket is decoded by a
   server, all implementations shall make the presence of the postdated
   flag visible to the calling server.

   User-to-user authentication

   Support for user to user authentication (via the ENC-TKTIN-SKEY KDC
   option) must be provided by implementations, but individual realms
   may decide as a matter of policy to reject such requests on a per-
   principal or realm-wide basis.
ToP   noToC   RFC1510 - Page 88
   Authorization data

   Implementations must pass all authorization data subfields from
   ticket-granting tickets to any derivative tickets unless directed to
   suppress a subfield as part of the definition of that registered
   subfield type (it is never incorrect to pass on a subfield, and no
   registered subfield types presently specify suppression at the KDC).

   Implementations must make the contents of any authorization data
   subfields available to the server when a ticket is used.
   Implementations are not required to allow clients to specify the
   contents of the authorization data fields.

9.2.  Recommended KDC values

   Following is a list of recommended values for a KDC implementation,
   based on the list of suggested configuration constants (see section
   4.4).

   minimum lifetime                5 minutes

   maximum renewable lifetime      1 week

   maximum ticket lifetime         1 day

   empty addresses                 only when suitable restrictions appear
                                   in authorization data

   proxiable, etc.                 Allowed.

10.  Acknowledgments

   Early versions of this document, describing version 4 of the
   protocol, were written by Jennifer Steiner (formerly at Project
   Athena); these drafts provided an excellent starting point for this
   current version 5 specification.  Many people in the Internet
   community have contributed ideas and suggested protocol changes for
   version 5. Notable contributions came from Ted Anderson, Steve
   Bellovin and Michael Merritt [17], Daniel Bernstein, Mike Burrows,
   Donald Davis, Ravi Ganesan, Morrie Gasser, Virgil Gligor, Bill
   Griffeth, Mark Lillibridge, Mark Lomas, Steve Lunt, Piers McMahon,
   Joe Pato, William Sommerfeld, Stuart Stubblebine, Ralph Swick, Ted
   T'so, and Stanley Zanarotti.  Many others commented and helped shape
   this specification into its current form.
