<title>RFC 9185: DTLS Tunnel between a Media Distributor and Key Distributor to Facilitate Key Exchange</title>
<meta content="Paul E. Jones" name="author">
<meta content="Paul M. Ellenbogen" name="author">

<meta content="
This document defines a protocol for tunneling DTLS traffic in multimedia
conferences that enables a Media Distributor to facilitate key
exchange between an endpoint in a conference and the Key Distributor.
The protocol is designed to ensure that the keying material used for
hop-by-hop encryption and authentication is accessible to the Media
Distributor, while the keying material used for end-to-end encryption
and authentication is inaccessible to the Media Distributor.

<h1 id="title">DTLS Tunnel between a Media Distributor and Key Distributor to Facilitate Key Exchange</h1>
<section id="section-abstract">
<h2 id="abstract"><a href="#abstract" class="selfRef">Abstract</a></h2>
<p id="section-abstract-1">This document defines a protocol for tunneling DTLS traffic in multimedia
conferences that enables a Media Distributor to facilitate key
exchange between an endpoint in a conference and the Key Distributor.
The protocol is designed to ensure that the keying material used for
hop-by-hop encryption and authentication is accessible to the Media
Distributor, while the keying material used for end-to-end encryption
and authentication is inaccessible to the Media Distributor.<a href="#section-abstract-1" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>

</h2>
<p id="section-1-1">An objective of Privacy-Enhanced RTP Conferencing (PERC) <span>[<a href="#RFC8871" class="xref">RFC8871</a>]</span> is to
ensure that endpoints in a multimedia conference have access to the
end-to-end (E2E) and hop-by-hop (HBH) keying material used to encrypt
and authenticate Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP)
packets <span>[<a href="#RFC3550" class="xref">RFC3550</a>]</span>, while the Media Distributor has access only to the HBH
keying material for encryption and authentication.<a href="#section-1-1" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-1-2">This specification defines a tunneling protocol that enables the Media
Distributor to tunnel DTLS messages <span>[<a href="#RFC9147" class="xref">RFC9147</a>]</span> between an endpoint
and a Key Distributor, thus allowing an endpoint to use DTLS for the Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (DTLS-SRTP)
<span>[<a href="#RFC5764" class="xref">RFC5764</a>]</span> for establishing encryption and authentication keys with
the Key Distributor.<a href="#section-1-2" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-1-3">The tunnel established between the Media Distributor and Key
Distributor is a TLS connection <span>[<a href="#RFC8446" class="xref">RFC8446</a>]</span> that is established before any
messages are forwarded by the Media Distributor on behalf of
endpoints. DTLS packets received from an endpoint are encapsulated by
the Media Distributor inside this tunnel as data to be sent to the Key
Distributor. Likewise, when the Media Distributor receives data from
the Key Distributor over the tunnel, it extracts the DTLS message
inside and forwards the DTLS message to the endpoint. In this way,
the DTLS association for the DTLS-SRTP procedures is established
between an endpoint and the Key Distributor, with the Media
Distributor forwarding DTLS messages between the two entities via the
established tunnel to the Key Distributor and having no visibility into
the confidential information exchanged.<a href="#section-1-3" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-1-4">Following the existing DTLS-SRTP procedures, the endpoint and Key
Distributor will arrive at a selected cipher and keying material,
which are used for HBH encryption and authentication by both the
endpoint and the Media Distributor. However, since the Media
Distributor would not have direct access to this information, the Key
Distributor explicitly shares the HBH key information with the Media
Distributor via the tunneling protocol defined in this document.
Additionally, the endpoint and Key Distributor will agree on a cipher
for E2E encryption and authentication. The Key Distributor will
transmit keying material to the endpoint for E2E operations but will
not share that information with the Media Distributor.<a href="#section-1-4" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-1-5">By establishing this TLS tunnel between the Media Distributor and Key
Distributor and implementing the protocol defined in this document, it
is possible for the Media Distributor to facilitate the establishment
of a secure DTLS association between an endpoint and the Key
Distributor in order for the endpoint to generate E2E and HBH keying
material. At the same time, the Key Distributor can securely provide
the HBH keying material to the Media Distributor.<a href="#section-1-5" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>

</h2>
<p id="section-9-1">Since the procedures in this document rely on TLS <span>[<a href="#RFC8446" class="xref">RFC8446</a>]</span> for transport
security, the security considerations for TLS should be reviewed when
implementing the protocol defined in this document.<a href="#section-9-1" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-9-2">While the tunneling protocol defined in this document does not use
DTLS-SRTP <span>[<a href="#RFC5764" class="xref">RFC5764</a>]</span> directly, it does convey and negotiate some of the
same information (e.g., protection profile data). As such, a review of the
security considerations found in that document may be useful.<a href="#section-9-2" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-9-3">This document describes a means of securely exchanging keying material and
cryptographic transforms for both E2E and HBH encryption and authentication of
media between an endpoint and a Key Distributor via a Media Distributor.
Additionally, the procedures result in delivering HBH information to the
intermediary Media Distributor. The Key Distributor and endpoint are the only
two entities with access to both the E2E and HBH keys, while the Media
Distributor has access to only HBH information. <span><a href="https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8871#section-8.2" class="relref">Section 8.2</a> of [<a href="#RFC8871" class="xref">RFC8871</a>]</span>
enumerates various attacks against which one must guard when implementing a
Media Distributor; these scenarios are important to note.<a href="#section-9-3" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-9-4">A requirement in this document is that a TLS connection between the Media
Distributor and the Key Distributor be mutually authenticated. The reason
for this requirement is to ensure that only an authorized Media Distributor
receives the HBH keying material. If an unauthorized Media Distributor gains
access to the HBH keying material, it can easily cause service degradation or
denial by transmitting HBH-valid packets that ultimately fail E2E
authentication or replay protection checks (see <span><a href="https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3711#section-3.3.2" class="relref">Section 3.3.2</a> of [<a href="#RFC3711" class="xref">RFC3711</a>]</span>).
Even if service does not appear degraded in any way, transmitting and
processing bogus packets are a waste of both computational and network
resources.<a href="#section-9-4" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-9-5">The procedures defined in this document assume that the Media Distributor
will properly convey DTLS messages between the endpoint and Key Distributor.
Should it fail in that responsibility by forwarding DTLS messages from
endpoint A advertised as being from endpoint B, this will result in
a failure at the DTLS layer of those DTLS sessions. This could be an additional
attack vector that Key Distributor implementations should consider.<a href="#section-9-5" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-9-6">While E2E keying material passes through the Media Distributor via the protocol
defined in this document, the Media Distributor has no means of gaining access
to that information and therefore cannot affect the E2E media processing
function in the endpoint except to present it with invalid or replayed data.
That said, any entity along the path that interferes with the DTLS exchange
between the endpoint and the Key Distributor, including a malicious Media
Distributor that is not properly authorized, could prevent an endpoint from
properly communicating with the Key Distributor and therefore prevent
successful conference participation.<a href="#section-9-6" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-9-7">It is worth noting that a compromised Media Distributor can convey
information to an adversary, such as participant IP addresses,
negotiated protection profiles, or other metadata.
While <span>[<a href="#RFC8871" class="xref">RFC8871</a>]</span> explains that
a malicious or compromised Media Distributor can disrupt communications,
an additional attack vector introduced by this protocol is the potential
disruption of DTLS negotiation or premature removal of a participant from
a conference by sending an <code>EndpointDisconnect</code> message to the
Key Distributor.<a href="#section-9-7" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-9-8">The Key Distributor should be aware of the possibility that a malicious
Media Distributor might transmit an <code>EndpointDisconnect</code> message to the Key
Distributor when the endpoint is in fact still connected.<a href="#section-9-8" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-9-9">While the Security Considerations section of <span>[<a href="#RFC8871" class="xref">RFC8871</a>]</span> describes various
attacks one needs to consider with respect to the Key Distributor and
denial of service, use of this protocol introduces another possible
attack vector. Consider the case where a malicious endpoint sends unsolicited
DTLS-SRTP messages to a Media Distributor. The Media Distributor will normally
forward those messages to the Key Distributor and, if found invalid, such
messages only serve to consume resources on both the Media Distributor and
Key Distributor.<a href="#section-9-9" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
