<span class="h1">Integrity Check Value and Timestamp TLV Definitions</span>
<span class="h1">for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs)</span>
Abstract
This document describes general and flexible TLVs for representing
cryptographic Integrity Check Values (ICVs) (i.e., digital signatures
or Message Authentication Codes (MACs)) as well as timestamps, using
the generalized Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) packet/message format
defined in <a href="./rfc5444">RFC 5444</a>. It defines two Packet TLVs, two Message TLVs,
and two Address Block TLVs for affixing ICVs and timestamps to a
packet, a message, and an address, respectively.

<span class="grey"><a href="./rfc6622">RFC 6622</a> ICV and Timestamp TLVs for MANETs May 2012</span>
<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-1" href="#section-1">1</a>. Introduction</span>
This document specifies
o Two TLVs for carrying Integrity Check Values (ICVs) and timestamps
in packets, messages, and address blocks as defined by [<a href="./rfc5444" title=""Generalized Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) Packet/Message Format"">RFC5444</a>].
o A generic framework for ICVs, accounting (for Message TLVs) for
mutable message header fields (<msg-hop-limit> and
<msg-hop-count>), where these fields are present in messages.
This document sets up IANA registries for recording code points for
hash-function and ICV calculation, respectively.
Moreover, in <a href="#section-12">Section 12</a>, this document defines the following:
o One common method for generating ICVs as a cryptographic function,
calculated over the hash value of the content.
<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-2" href="#section-2">2</a>. Terminology</span>
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
[<a href="./rfc2119" title=""Key words for use in RFCs to Indicate Requirement Levels"">RFC2119</a>].
This document uses the terminology and notation defined in [<a href="./rfc5444" title=""Generalized Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) Packet/Message Format"">RFC5444</a>].
In particular, the following TLV fields from [<a href="./rfc5444" title=""Generalized Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) Packet/Message Format"">RFC5444</a>] are used in
this specification:
<msg-hop-limit> is the hop limit of a message, as specified in
<a href="./rfc5444#section-5.2">Section 5.2 of [RFC5444]</a>.
<msg-hop-count> is the hop count of a message, as specified in
<a href="./rfc5444#section-5.2">Section 5.2 of [RFC5444]</a>.
<length> is the length of a TLV in octets, as specified in
<a href="./rfc5444#section-5.4.1">Section 5.4.1 of [RFC5444]</a>.
<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-3" href="#section-3">3</a>. Applicability Statement</span>
MANET routing protocols using the format defined in [<a href="./rfc5444" title=""Generalized Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) Packet/Message Format"">RFC5444</a>] are
accorded the ability to carry additional information in control
messages and packets, through the inclusion of TLVs. Information so
included MAY be used by a MANET routing protocol, or by an extension
of a MANET routing protocol, according to its specification.

<span class="grey"><a href="./rfc6622">RFC 6622</a> ICV and Timestamp TLVs for MANETs May 2012</span>
This document specifies how to include an ICV for a packet, a
message, and addresses in address blocks within a message, by way of
such TLVs. This document also specifies a) how to treat "mutable"
fields, specifically the <msg-hop-count> and <msg-hop-limit> fields,
if present in the message header when calculating ICVs, such that the
resulting ICV can be correctly verified by any recipient, and b) how
to include this ICV.
This document describes a generic framework for creating ICVs, and
how to include these ICVs in TLVs. In <a href="#section-12">Section 12</a>, an example method
for calculating such ICVs is given, using a cryptographic function
over the hash value of the content.
<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-4" href="#section-4">4</a>. Security Architecture</span>
Basic MANET routing protocol specifications are often "oblivious to
security"; however, they have a clause allowing a control message to
be rejected as "badly formed" or "insecure" prior to the message
being processed or forwarded. MANET routing protocols such as the
Neighborhood Discovery Protocol (NHDP) [<a href="./rfc6130" title=""Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) Neighborhood Discovery Protocol (NHDP)"">RFC6130</a>] and the Optimized
Link State Routing Protocol version 2 [<a href="#ref-OLSRv2" title=""The Optimized Link State Routing Protocol version 2"">OLSRv2</a>] recognize external
reasons (such as failure to verify an ICV) for rejecting a message
that would be considered "invalid for processing". This architecture
is a result of the observation that with respect to security in
MANETs, "one size rarely fits all" and that MANET routing protocol
deployment domains have varying security requirements ranging from
"unbreakable" to "virtually none". The virtue of this approach is
that MANET routing protocol specifications (and implementations) can
remain "generic", with extensions providing proper security
mechanisms specific to a deployment domain.
The MANET routing protocol "security architecture", in which this
specification situates itself, can therefore be summarized as
follows:
o Security-oblivious MANET routing protocol specifications, with a
clause allowing an extension to reject a message (prior to
processing/forwarding) as "badly formed" or "insecure".
o MANET routing protocol security extensions, rejecting messages as
"badly formed" or "insecure", as appropriate for a given security
requirement specific to a deployment domain.
o Code points and an exchange format for information, necessary for
specification of such MANET routing protocol security extensions.

<span class="grey"><a href="./rfc6622">RFC 6622</a> ICV and Timestamp TLVs for MANETs May 2012</span>
This document addresses the last of the issues listed above by
specifying a common exchange format for cryptographic ICVs, making
reservations from within the Packet TLV, Message TLV, and Address
Block TLV registries of [<a href="./rfc5444" title=""Generalized Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) Packet/Message Format"">RFC5444</a>], to be used (and shared) among
MANET routing protocol security extensions.
For the specific decomposition of an ICV into a cryptographic
function over a hash value (specified in <a href="#section-12">Section 12</a>), this document
establishes two IANA registries for code points for hash functions
and cryptographic functions adhering to [<a href="./rfc5444" title=""Generalized Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) Packet/Message Format"">RFC5444</a>].
With respect to [<a href="./rfc5444" title=""Generalized Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) Packet/Message Format"">RFC5444</a>], this document is
o Intended to be used in the non-normative, but intended, mode of
use described in <a href="./rfc5444#appendix-B">Appendix B of [RFC5444]</a>.
o A specific example of the Security Considerations section of
[<a href="./rfc5444" title=""Generalized Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) Packet/Message Format"">RFC5444</a>] (the authentication part).
<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-5" href="#section-5">5</a>. Overview and Functioning</span>
This document specifies a syntactical representation of security-
related information for use with [<a href="./rfc5444" title=""Generalized Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) Packet/Message Format"">RFC5444</a>] addresses, messages, and
packets, and also establishes IANA registrations of TLV types and
type extension registries for these TLV types.
Moreover, this document provides guidelines for how MANET routing
protocols and MANET routing protocol extensions using this
specification should treat ICV and Timestamp TLVs, and mutable fields
in messages. This specification does not represent a stand-alone
protocol; MANET routing protocols and MANET routing protocol
extensions, using this specification, MUST provide instructions as to
how to handle packets, messages, and addresses with security
information, associated as specified in this document.
This document assigns TLV types from the registries defined for
Packet, Message, and Address Block TLVs in [<a href="./rfc5444" title=""Generalized Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) Packet/Message Format"">RFC5444</a>]. When a TLV
type is assigned from one of these registries, a registry for type
extensions for that TLV type is created by IANA. This document
utilizes these type extension registries so created, in order to
specify internal structure (and accompanying processing) of the
<value> field of a TLV.
For example, and as defined in this document, an ICV TLV with type
extension = 0 specifies that the <value> field has no pre-defined
internal structure but is simply a sequence of octets. An ICV TLV
with type extension = 1 specifies that the <value> field has a
pre-defined internal structure and defines its interpretation.

<hr class='noprint'/><!--NewPage--><pre class='newpage'><span id="page-6" ></span>
<span class="grey"><a href="./rfc6622">RFC 6622</a> ICV and Timestamp TLVs for MANETs May 2012</span>
(Specifically, the <value> field consists of a cryptographic
operation over a hash value, with fields indicating which hash
function and cryptographic operation have been used; this is
specified in <a href="#section-12">Section 12</a>.)
Other documents can request assignments for other type extensions; if
they do so, they MUST specify their internal structure (if any) and
interpretation.
<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-6" href="#section-6">6</a>. General ICV TLV Structure</span>
The value of the ICV TLV is
<value> := <ICV-value>
where
<ICV-value> is a field, of <length> octets, which contains the
information to be interpreted by the ICV verification process, as
specified by the type extension.
Note that this does not stipulate how to calculate the <ICV-value>
nor the internal structure thereof, if any; such information MUST be
specified by way of the type extension for the ICV TLV type. See
<a href="#section-13">Section 13</a>. This document specifies two such type extensions -- one
for ICVs without pre-defined structures, and one for ICVs constructed
by way of a cryptographic operation over a hash value.
<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-7" href="#section-7">7</a>. General Timestamp TLV Structure</span>
The value of the Timestamp TLV is
<value> := <time-value>
where
<time-value> is an unsigned integer field, of length <length>, which
contains the timestamp.
Note that this does not stipulate how to calculate the
<time-value> nor the internal structure thereof, if any; such
information MUST be specified by way of the type extension for the
TIMESTAMP TLV type. See <a href="#section-13">Section 13</a>.

<hr class='noprint'/><!--NewPage--><pre class='newpage'><span id="page-7" ></span>
<span class="grey"><a href="./rfc6622">RFC 6622</a> ICV and Timestamp TLVs for MANETs May 2012</span>
A timestamp is essentially "freshness information". As such, its
setting and interpretation are to be determined by the MANET routing
protocol, or MANET routing protocol extension, that uses the
timestamp and can, for example, correspond to a UNIX timestamp, GPS
timestamp, or a simple sequence number.
<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-8" href="#section-8">8</a>. Packet TLVs</span>
Two Packet TLVs are defined: one for including the cryptographic ICV
of a packet and one for including the timestamp indicating the time
at which the cryptographic ICV was calculated.
<span class="h3"><a class="selflink" id="section-8.1" href="#section-8.1">8.1</a>. Packet ICV TLV</span>
A Packet ICV TLV is an example of an ICV TLV as described in
<a href="#section-6">Section 6</a>.
The following considerations apply:
o Because packets as defined in [<a href="./rfc5444" title=""Generalized Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) Packet/Message Format"">RFC5444</a>] are never forwarded by
routers, no special considerations are required regarding mutable
fields (e.g., <msg-hop-count> and <msg-hop-limit>), if present,
when calculating the ICV.
o Any Packet ICV TLVs already present in the Packet TLV block MUST
be removed before calculating the ICV, and the Packet TLV block
size MUST be recalculated accordingly. Removed ICV TLVs MUST be
restored after having calculated the ICV value.
The rationale for removing any Packet ICV TLV already present prior
to calculating the ICV is that several ICVs may be added to the same
packet, e.g., using different ICV functions.
<span class="h3"><a class="selflink" id="section-8.2" href="#section-8.2">8.2</a>. Packet TIMESTAMP TLV</span>
A Packet TIMESTAMP TLV is an example of a Timestamp TLV as described
in <a href="#section-7">Section 7</a>. If a packet contains a TIMESTAMP TLV and an ICV TLV,
the TIMESTAMP TLV SHOULD be added to the packet before any ICV TLV,
in order that it be included in the calculation of the ICV.

<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-9" href="#section-9">9</a>. Message TLVs</span>
Two Message TLVs are defined: one for including the cryptographic ICV
of a message and one for including the timestamp indicating the time
at which the cryptographic ICV was calculated.
<span class="h3"><a class="selflink" id="section-9.1" href="#section-9.1">9.1</a>. Message ICV TLV</span>
A Message ICV TLV is an example of an ICV TLV as described in
<a href="#section-6">Section 6</a>. When determining the <ICV-value> for a message, the
following considerations MUST be applied:
o The fields <msg-hop-limit> and <msg-hop-count>, if present, MUST
both be assumed to have the value 0 (zero) when calculating
the ICV.
o Any Message ICV TLVs already present in the Message TLV block MUST
be removed before calculating the ICV, and the message size as
well as the Message TLV block size MUST be recalculated
accordingly. Removed ICV TLVs MUST be restored after having
calculated the ICV value.
The rationale for removing any Message ICV TLV already present prior
to calculating the ICV is that several ICVs may be added to the same
message, e.g., using different ICV functions.
<span class="h3"><a class="selflink" id="section-9.2" href="#section-9.2">9.2</a>. Message TIMESTAMP TLV</span>
A Message TIMESTAMP TLV is an example of a Timestamp TLV as described
in <a href="#section-7">Section 7</a>. If a message contains a TIMESTAMP TLV and an ICV TLV,
the TIMESTAMP TLV SHOULD be added to the message before the ICV TLV,
in order that it be included in the calculation of the ICV.
<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-10" href="#section-10">10</a>. Address Block TLVs</span>
Two Address Block TLVs are defined: one for associating a
cryptographic ICV to an address and one for including the timestamp
indicating the time at which the cryptographic ICV was calculated.
<span class="h3"><a class="selflink" id="section-10.1" href="#section-10.1">10.1</a>. Address Block ICV TLV</span>
An Address Block ICV TLV is an example of an ICV TLV as described in
<a href="#section-6">Section 6</a>. The ICV is calculated over the address, concatenated with
any other values -- for example, any other Address Block TLV <value>
fields -- associated with that address. A MANET routing protocol or
MANET routing protocol extension using Address Block ICV TLVs MUST
specify how to include any such concatenated attribute of the address

<span class="grey"><a href="./rfc6622">RFC 6622</a> ICV and Timestamp TLVs for MANETs May 2012</span>
in the verification process of the ICV. When determining the
<ICV-value> for an address, the following consideration MUST be
applied:
o If other TLV values are concatenated with the address for
calculating the ICV, these TLVs MUST NOT be Address Block ICV TLVs
already associated with the address.
The rationale for not concatenating the address with any ICV TLV
values already associated with the address when calculating the ICV
is that several ICVs may be added to the same address, e.g., using
different ICV functions.
<span class="h3"><a class="selflink" id="section-10.2" href="#section-10.2">10.2</a>. Address Block TIMESTAMP TLV</span>
An Address Block TIMESTAMP TLV is an example of a Timestamp TLV as
described in <a href="#section-7">Section 7</a>. If both a TIMESTAMP TLV and an ICV TLV are
associated with an address, the TIMESTAMP TLV <value> MUST be covered
when calculating the value of the ICV to be contained in the ICV TLV
value (i.e., concatenated with the associated address and any other
values as described in <a href="#section-10.1">Section 10.1</a>).
<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-11" href="#section-11">11</a>. ICV: Basic</span>
The basic ICV, represented by way of an ICV TLV with type
extension = 0, is a simple bit-field containing the cryptographic
ICV. This assumes that the mechanism stipulating how ICVs are
calculated and verified is established outside of this specification,
e.g., by way of administrative configuration or external out-of-band
signaling. Thus, the <ICV-value>, when using type extension = 0, is
<ICV-value> := <ICV-data>
where
<ICV-data> is an unsigned integer field, of length <length>, which
contains the cryptographic ICV.
<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-12" href="#section-12">12</a>. ICV: Cryptographic Function over a Hash Value</span>
One common way of calculating an ICV is applying a cryptographic
function over a hash value of the content. This decomposition is
specified in this section, using a type extension = 1 in the
ICV TLVs.

<span class="h3"><a class="selflink" id="section-12.1" href="#section-12.1">12.1</a>. General ICV TLV Structure</span>
The following data structure allows representation of a cryptographic
ICV, including specification of the appropriate hash function and
cryptographic function used for calculating the ICV:
<ICV-value> := <hash-function>
<cryptographic-function>
<key-id-length>
<key-id>
<ICV-data>
where
<hash-function> is an 8-bit unsigned integer field specifying the
hash function.
<cryptographic-function> is an 8-bit unsigned integer field
specifying the cryptographic function.
<key-id-length> is an 8-bit unsigned integer field specifying the
length of the <key-id> field in number of octets. The value 0x00
is reserved for using a pre-installed, shared key.
<key-id> is a field specifying the key identifier of the key that
was used to calculate the ICV of the message, which allows unique
identification of different keys with the same originator. It is
the responsibility of each key originator to make sure that
actively used keys that it issues have distinct key identifiers.
If <key-id-length> equals 0x00, the <key-id> field is not
contained in the TLV, and a pre-installed, shared key is used.
<ICV-data> is an unsigned integer field, whose length is
<length> - 3 - <key-id-length>, and which contains the
cryptographic ICV.
The version of this TLV, specified in this section, assumes that
calculating the ICV can be decomposed into
ICV-value = cryptographic-function(hash-function(content))
The hash function and the cryptographic function correspond to the
entries in two IANA registries, which are set up by this
specification and are described in <a href="#section-13">Section 13</a>.

<span class="h4"><a class="selflink" id="section-12.1.1" href="#section-12.1.1">12.1.1</a>. Rationale</span>
The rationale for separating the hash function and the cryptographic
function into two octets instead of having all combinations in a
single octet -- possibly as a TLV type extension -- is that adding
further hash functions or cryptographic functions in the future may
lead to a non-contiguous number space.
The rationale for not including a field that lists parameters of the
cryptographic ICV in the TLV is that, before being able to validate a
cryptographic ICV, routers have to exchange or acquire keys (e.g.,
public keys). Any additional parameters can be provided together
with the keys in that bootstrap process. It is therefore not
necessary, and would even entail an extra overhead, to transmit the
parameters within every message. One implicitly available parameter
is the length of the ICV, which is <length> - 3 - <key-id-length>,
and which depends on the choice of the cryptographic function.

<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-13" href="#section-13">13</a>. IANA Considerations</span>
This specification defines the following:
o Two Packet TLV types, which have been allocated from the 0-223
range of the "Packet TLV Types" repository of [<a href="./rfc5444" title=""Generalized Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) Packet/Message Format"">RFC5444</a>], as
specified in Table 1.
o Two Message TLV types, which have been allocated from the 0-127
range of the "Message TLV Types" repository of [<a href="./rfc5444" title=""Generalized Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) Packet/Message Format"">RFC5444</a>], as
specified in Table 2.
o Two Address Block TLV types, which have been allocated from the
0-127 range of the "Address Block TLV Types" repository of
[<a href="./rfc5444" title=""Generalized Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) Packet/Message Format"">RFC5444</a>], as specified in Table 3.
This specification created the following:
o A type extension registry for each of these TLV types with initial
values as listed in Tables 1, 2, and 3.
IANA has assigned the same numerical value to the Packet TLV, Message
TLV, and Address Block TLV types with the same name.
The following terms are used as defined in [<a href="#ref-BCP26" title="">BCP26</a>]: "Namespace",
"Registration", and "Designated Expert".
The following policy is used as defined in [<a href="#ref-BCP26" title="">BCP26</a>]: "Expert Review".
<span class="h3"><a class="selflink" id="section-13.1" href="#section-13.1">13.1</a>. Expert Review: Evaluation Guidelines</span>
For TLV type extensions registries where an Expert Review is
required, the Designated Expert SHOULD take the same general
recommendations into consideration as those specified by [<a href="./rfc5444" title=""Generalized Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) Packet/Message Format"">RFC5444</a>].
For the Timestamp TLV, the same type extensions for all Packet,
Message, and Address Block TLVs SHOULD be numbered identically.

Table 5: Cryptographic Function Registry
<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-14" href="#section-14">14</a>. Security Considerations</span>
This document does not specify a protocol. It provides a syntactical
component for cryptographic ICVs of messages and packets, as defined
in [<a href="./rfc5444" title=""Generalized Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) Packet/Message Format"">RFC5444</a>]. It can be used to address security issues of a MANET
routing protocol or MANET routing protocol extension. As such, it
has the same security considerations as [<a href="./rfc5444" title=""Generalized Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) Packet/Message Format"">RFC5444</a>].
In addition, a MANET routing protocol or MANET routing protocol
extension that uses this specification MUST specify how to use the
framework, and the TLVs presented in this document. In addition, the
protection that the MANET routing protocol or MANET routing protocol
extensions attain by using this framework MUST be described.

<hr class='noprint'/><!--NewPage--><pre class='newpage'><span id="page-19" ></span>
<span class="grey"><a href="./rfc6622">RFC 6622</a> ICV and Timestamp TLVs for MANETs May 2012</span>
As an example, a MANET routing protocol that uses this component to
reject "badly formed" or "insecure" messages if a control message
does not contain a valid ICV SHOULD indicate the security assumption
that if the ICV is valid, the message is considered valid. It also
SHOULD indicate the security issues that are counteracted by this
measure (e.g., link or identity spoofing) as well as the issues that
are not counteracted (e.g., compromised keys).
