8: Network Security 8-484

What is network security?

Confidentiality: only sender, intended receiver should “understand” message contents

sender encrypts message

receiver decrypts message

Authentication: sender, receiver want to confirm identity of each other

Message Integrity: sender, receiver want to ensure message not altered (in transit, or afterwards) without detection

Access and Availability: services must be accessible and available to users

8: Network Security 8-485

Friends and enemies: Alice, Bob, Trudy well-known in network security world

Bob, Alice (lovers!) want to communicate “securely”

Trudy (intruder) may intercept, delete, add messages

secure sender

secure receiver

channel data, control messages

data data

Alice Bob

Trudy

8: Network Security 8-486

Who might Bob, Alice be?

… well, real-life Bobs and Alices! Web browser/server for electronic transactions (e.g., on-line purchases) on-line banking client/server DNS servers routers exchanging routing table updates other examples?

8: Network Security 8-487

There are bad guys (and girls) out there!

Q: What can a “bad guy” do? A: a lot!

eavesdrop: intercept messages actively insert messages into connection impersonation: can fake (spoof) source address in packet (or any field in packet) hijacking: “take over” ongoing connection by removing sender or receiver, inserting himself in place denial of service: prevent service from being used by others (e.g., by overloading resources)

more on this later ……

The language of cryptography

symmetric key crypto: sender, receiver keys identical

public-key crypto: encryption key public, decryption key secret (private)

plaintext plaintext ciphertext

K A

encryption algorithm

Alice’s encryption key

Bob’s decryption key

8: Network Security 8-490

Symmetric key cryptography

substitution cipher: substituting one thing for another monoalphabetic cipher: substitute one letter for another

plaintext: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

ciphertext: mnbvcxzasdfghjklpoiuytrewq

Plaintext: bob. i love you. alice

ciphertext: nkn. s gktc wky. mgsbc

E.g.:

Q: How hard to break this simple cipher?: brute force (how hard?) other?

8: Network Security 8-491

Symmetric key cryptography

symmetric key crypto: Bob and Alice share know same (symmetric) key: K e.g., key is knowing substitution pattern in mono alphabetic substitution cipher Q: how do Bob and Alice agree on key value?

8: Network Security 8-492

Symmetric key crypto: DES

DES: Data Encryption Standard

US encryption standard [NIST 1993]

56-bit symmetric key, 64-bit plaintext input

How secure is DES?

DES Challenge: 56-bit-key-encrypted phrase (“Strong cryptography makes the world a safer place”) decrypted (brute force) in 4 months

no known “backdoor” decryption approach

making DES more secure:

use three keys sequentially (3-DES) on each datum

use cipher-block chaining

7

8: Network Security 8-493

Symmetric key crypto: DES

initial permutation

16 identical “rounds” of function application, each using different 48 bits of key

final permutation

DES operation

8: Network Security 8-494

AES: Advanced Encryption Standard

new (Nov. 2001) symmetric-key NIST standard, replacing DES

processes data in 128 bit blocks

128, 192, or 256 bit keys

brute force decryption (try each key) taking 1 sec on DES, takes 149 trillion years for AES

8

8: Network Security 8-495

Public Key Cryptography

symmetric key crypto

requires sender, receiver know shared secret key

Q: how to agree on key in first place (particularly if never “met”)?

public key cryptography

radically different approach [Diffie-Hellman76, RSA78]

sender, receiver do not share secret key

public encryption key known to all

private decryption key known only to receiver

8: Network Security 8-496

Public key cryptography

8: Network Security 8-498

RSA: Choosing keys

1. Choose two large prime numbers p, q. (e.g., 1024 bits each)

2. Compute n = pq, z = (p-1)(q-1)

3. Choose e (with e<n) that has no common factors with z. (e, z are “relatively prime”).

4. Choose d such that ed-1 is exactly divisible by z. (in other words: ed mod z = 1 ).

5. Public key is (n,e). Private key is (n,d).

K B + K

8: Network Security 8-499

RSA: Encryption, decryption

0. Given (n,e) and (n,d) as computed above

1. To encrypt bit pattern, m, compute

c = m mod n e (i.e., remainder when m is divided by n) e

2. To decrypt received bit pattern, c, compute

m = c mod n d (i.e., remainder when c is divided by n) d

m = (m mod n) e mod n d Magic happens!

c

8: Network Security 8-500

RSA example: Bob chooses p=5, q=7. Then n=35, z=24.

e=5 (so e, z relatively prime). d=29 (so ed-1 exactly divisible by z.

8: Network Security 8-501

RSA: Why is that m = (m mod n) e mod n d

(m mod n) e mod n = m mod n d ed

Useful number theory result: If p,q prime and n = pq, then:

x mod n = x mod n y y mod (p-1)(q-1)

= m mod n ed mod (p-1)(q-1)

= m mod n 1

= m

(using number theory result above)

(since we chose ed to be divisible by (p-1)(q-1) with remainder 1 )

8: Network Security 8-502

RSA: another important property

The following property will be very useful later:

K (K (m)) = m B B

- + K (K (m))

B B + -

=

use public key first, followed by private key

use private key first, followed by public key

Result is the same!

Authentication

Goal: Bob wants Alice to “prove” her identity to him

Protocol ap1.0: Alice says “I am Alice”

Failure scenario?? “I am Alice”

13

8: Network Security 8-505

Authentication

Goal: Bob wants Alice to “prove” her identity to him

Protocol ap1.0: Alice says “I am Alice”

in a network, Bob can not “see” Alice, so Trudy simply declares herself to be Alice

“I am Alice”

8: Network Security 8-506

Authentication: another try

Protocol ap2.0: Alice says “I am Alice” in an IP packet containing her source IP address

Failure scenario??

“I am Alice” Alice’s IP address

14

8: Network Security 8-507

Authentication: another try

Protocol ap2.0: Alice says “I am Alice” in an IP packet containing her source IP address

Trudy can create a packet “spoofing” Alice’s address “I am Alice”

Alice’s IP address

8: Network Security 8-508

Authentication: another try

Protocol ap3.0: Alice says “I am Alice” and sends her secret password to “prove” it.

Failure scenario??

“I’m Alice” Alice’s IP addr

Alice’s password

OK Alice’s IP addr

15

8: Network Security 8-509

Authentication: another try

Protocol ap3.0: Alice says “I am Alice” and sends her secret password to “prove” it.

playback attack: Trudy records Alice’s packet and later plays it back to Bob

“I’m Alice” Alice’s IP addr

Alice’s password

OK Alice’s IP addr

“I’m Alice” Alice’s IP addr

Alice’s password

8: Network Security 8-510

Authentication: yet another try

Protocol ap3.1: Alice says “I am Alice” and sends her encrypted secret password to “prove” it.

Failure scenario??

“I’m Alice” Alice’s IP addr

encrypted password

OK Alice’s IP addr

record and playback still works!

“I’m Alice” Alice’s IP addr

encrypted password

OK Alice’s IP addr

“I’m Alice” Alice’s IP addr

encrypted password

8: Network Security 8-512

Authentication: yet another try

Goal: avoid playback attack

Failures, drawbacks?

Nonce: number (R) used only once –in-a-lifetime

ap4.0: to prove Alice “live”, Bob sends Alice nonce, R. Alice must return R, encrypted with shared secret key

“I am Alice”

R

K (R) A-B

Alice is live, and only Alice knows key to encrypt nonce, so it must be Alice!

17

8: Network Security 8-513

Authentication: ap5.0

ap4.0 requires shared symmetric key

can we authenticate using public key techniques?

ap5.0: use nonce, public key cryptography

“I am Alice”

R Bob computes

K (R) A -

“send me your public key”

K A

(K (R)) = R A

ap5.0: security hole Man (woman) in the middle attack: Trudy poses as

Alice (to Bob) and as Bob (to Alice)

Difficult to detect: Bob receives everything that Alice sends, and vice

versa. (e.g., so Bob, Alice can meet one week later and recall conversation)

problem is that Trudy receives all messages as well!

8.8 Security in many layers

19

8: Network Security 8-517

Digital Signatures

Cryptographic technique analogous to hand-written signatures. sender (Bob) digitally signs document, establishing he is document owner/creator.

verifiable, nonforgeable: recipient (Alice) can prove to someone that Bob, and no one else (including Alice), must have signed document

8: Network Security 8-518

Digital Signatures

Simple digital signature for message m: Bob signs m by encrypting with his private key KB, creating “signed” message, KB(m) - -

Bob’s message, m

Public key encryption algorithm

Bob’s private key

K B -

K B - (m)

20

8: Network Security 8-519

Digital Signatures (more)

Suppose Alice receives msg m, digital signature KB(m)

Alice verifies m signed by Bob by applying Bob’s public key KB to KB(m) then checks KB(KB(m) ) = m.

If KB(KB(m) ) = m, whoever signed m must have used Bob’s private key.

Alice thus verifies that: Bob signed m. No one else signed m. Bob signed m and not m’.

Non-repudiation: Alice can take m, and signature KB(m) to court and prove that Bob signed m.

8: Network Security 8-520

Message Digests

Computationally expensive to public-key-encrypt long messages

Goal: fixed-length, easy- to-compute digital “fingerprint”

apply hash function H to m, get fixed size message digest, H(m).

Hash function properties:

many-to-1

produces fixed-size msg digest (fingerprint)

given message digest x, computationally infeasible to find m such that x = H(m)

large message m

H: Hash Function

H(m)

21

8: Network Security 8-521

Internet checksum: poor crypto hash function

Internet checksum has some properties of hash function:

produces fixed length digest (16-bit sum) of message

is many-to-one

But given message with given hash value, it is easy to find another message with same hash value:

I O U 10 0 . 99 B O B

49 4F 55 3130 30 2E 3939 42 D2 42

Digital signature = signed message digest

22

8: Network Security 8-523

Hash Function Algorithms

MD5 hash function widely used (RFC 1321)

computes 128-bit message digest in 4-step process.

arbitrary 128-bit string x, appears difficult to construct msg m whose MD5 hash is equal to x.

SHA-1 is also used.

160-bit message digest

Trusted Intermediaries

Symmetric key problem: How do two entities establish shared secret key over network?

Solution: trusted key distribution center (KDC) acting as intermediary between entities

Public key problem: When Alice obtains Bob’s public key (from web site, e-mail, diskette), how does she know it is Bob’s public key, not Trudy’s?

Solution: trusted certification authority (CA)

8: Network Security 8-526

Key Distribution Center (KDC)

Alice, Bob need shared symmetric key.

KDC: server shares different secret key with each registered user (many users)

Alice, Bob know own symmetric keys, KA-KDC KB-KDC , for

communicating with KDC.

Bob knows to use R1 to communicate with Alice

Alice and Bob communicate: using R1 as session key for shared symmetric encryption

Q: How does KDC allow Bob, Alice to determine shared symmetric secret key to communicate with each other?

KDC generates R1

8: Network Security 8-528

Certification Authorities

Certification authority (CA): binds public key to particular entity, E.

E (person, router) registers its public key with CA. E provides “proof of identity” to CA.

CA creates certificate binding E to its public key.

certificate containing E’s public key digitally signed by CA – CA says “this is E’s public key”

8.7 Attacks and counter measures

8.8 Security in many layers

8: Network Security 8-532

Firewalls

isolates organization’s internal net from larger Internet, allowing some packets to pass, blocking others.

firewall

administered network

public Internet

firewall

27

8: Network Security 8-533

Firewalls: Why

prevent denial of service attacks:

SYN flooding: attacker establishes many bogus TCP connections, no resources left for “real” connections.

prevent illegal modification/access of internal data.

e.g., attacker replaces CIA’s homepage with something else

allow only authorized access to inside network (set of authenticated users/hosts)

two types of firewalls:

application-level

packet-filtering

8: Network Security 8-534

Packet Filtering

internal network connected to Internet via router firewall router filters packet-by-packet, decision to forward/drop packet based on:

source IP address, destination IP address TCP/UDP source and destination port numbers ICMP message type TCP SYN and ACK bits

Should arriving packet be allowed in? Departing packet let out?

28

8: Network Security 8-535

Packet Filtering

Example 1: block incoming and outgoing datagrams with IP protocol field = 17 and with either source or dest port = 23.

All incoming and outgoing UDP flows and telnet connections are blocked.

Example 2: Block inbound TCP segments with ACK=0.

Prevents external clients from making TCP connections with internal clients, but allows internal clients to connect to outside.

8: Network Security 8-536

Application gateways

Filters packets on application data as well as on IP/TCP/UDP fields.

Example: allow select internal users to telnet outside.

host-to-gateway telnet session

gateway-to-remote host telnet session

application gateway

router and filter

1. Require all telnet users to telnet through gateway.

2. For authorized users, gateway sets up telnet connection to dest host. Gateway relays data between 2 connections

3. Router filter blocks all telnet connections not originating from gateway.

29

8: Network Security 8-537

Limitations of firewalls and gateways

IP spoofing: router can’t know if data “really” comes from claimed source

if multiple app’s. need special treatment, each has own app. gateway.

client software must know how to contact gateway.

e.g., must set IP address of proxy in Web browser

filters often use all or nothing policy for UDP.

tradeoff: degree of communication with outside world, level of security

many highly protected sites still suffer from attacks.

8: Network Security 8-539

Internet security threats Mapping:

before attacking: “case the joint” – find out what services are implemented on network

Use ping to determine what hosts have addresses on network

Port-scanning: try to establish TCP connection to each port in sequence (see what happens)

nmap (http://www.insecure.org/nmap/) mapper: “network exploration and security auditing”

Countermeasures?

8: Network Security 8-540

Internet security threats Mapping: countermeasures

record traffic entering network

look for suspicious activity (IP addresses, pots being scanned sequentially)

31

8: Network Security 8-541

Internet security threats Packet sniffing:

broadcast media

promiscuous NIC reads all packets passing by

can read all unencrypted data (e.g. passwords)

e.g.: C sniffs B’s packets

A

B

C

src:B dest:A payload

Countermeasures?

A

B

C

src:B dest:A payload

32

8: Network Security 8-543

Internet security threats IP Spoofing:

can generate “raw” IP packets directly from application, putting any value into IP source address field

receiver can’t tell if source is spoofed

e.g.: C pretends to be B

A

B

C

src:B dest:A payload

Countermeasures?

8: Network Security 8-544

Internet security threats IP Spoofing: ingress filtering

routers should not forward outgoing packets with invalid source addresses (e.g., datagram source address not in router’s network)

great, but ingress filtering can not be mandated for all networks

C

src:B dest:A payload

8: Network Security 8-545

Secure sockets layer (SSL)

transport layer security to any TCP-based app using SSL services.

used between Web browsers, servers for e-commerce (shttp).

security services: server authentication

data encryption

client authentication (optional)

server authentication: SSL-enabled browser includes public keys for trusted CAs. Browser requests server certificate, issued by trusted CA. Browser uses CA’s public key to extract server’s public key from certificate.

check your browser’s security menu to see its trusted CAs.

8: Network Security 8-554

SSL (continued)

Encrypted SSL session:

Browser generates symmetric session key, encrypts it with server’s public key, sends encrypted key to server.

Using private key, server decrypts session key.

Browser, server know session key

All data sent into TCP socket (by client or server) encrypted with session key.

SSL: basis of IETF Transport Layer Security (TLS).

SSL can be used for non-Web applications, e.g., IMAP.

Client authentication can be done with client certificates.

IPsec: Network Layer Security

Network-layer secrecy:

sending host encrypts the data in IP datagram

TCP and UDP segments; ICMP and SNMP messages.

Network-layer authentication

destination host can authenticate source IP address

Two principle protocols:

authentication header (AH) protocol

encapsulation security payload (ESP) protocol

For both AH and ESP, source, destination handshake:

create network-layer logical channel called a security association (SA)

Each SA unidirectional.

Uniquely determined by:

security protocol (AH or ESP)

source IP address

32-bit connection ID

8: Network Security 8-556

Authentication Header (AH) Protocol

provides source authentication, data integrity, no confidentiality

AH header inserted between IP header, data field.

protocol field: 51

intermediate routers process datagrams as usual

AH header includes:

connection identifier

authentication data: source- signed message digest calculated over original IP datagram.

next header field: specifies type of data (e.g., TCP, UDP, ICMP)

IP header data (e.g., TCP, UDP segment) AH header

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP):

authentication as in protocol ap4.0

host requests authentication from access point

access point sends 128 bit nonce

host encrypts nonce using shared symmetric key

access point decrypts nonce, authenticates host

no key distribution mechanism

authentication: knowing the shared key is enough

8: Network Security 8-560

WEP data encryption

Host/AP share 40 bit symmetric key (semi-permanent)

Host appends 24-bit initialization vector (IV) to create 64-bit key

64 bit key used to generate stream of keys, kiIV

kiIV used to encrypt ith byte, di, in frame:

ci = di XOR kiIV

IV and encrypted bytes, ci sent in frame

Breaking 802.11 WEP encryption

Security hole: 24-bit IV, one IV per frame, -> IV’s eventually reused

IV transmitted in plaintext -> IV reuse detected

Attack:

Trudy causes Alice to encrypt known plaintext d1 d2 d3 d4 …

Trudy sees: ci = di XOR kiIV

Trudy knows ci di, so can compute kiIV

Trudy knows encrypting key sequence k1IV k2

IV k3IV …

Ad hoc mode

no base stations

nodes can only transmit to other nodes within link coverage

nodes organize themselves into a network: route among themselves

6: Wireless and Mobile Networks 6-576

Wireless Link Characteristics

Differences from wired link ….

decreased signal strength: radio signal attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss) interference from other sources: standardized wireless network frequencies (e.g., 2.4 GHz) shared by other devices (e.g., phone); devices (motors) interfere as well multipath propagation: radio signal reflects off objects ground, arriving ad destination at slightly different times

…. make communication across (even a point to point) wireless link much more “difficult”

Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA)

used in several wireless broadcast channels (cellular, satellite, etc) standards unique “code” assigned to each user; i.e., code set partitioning all users share same frequency, but each user has own “chipping” sequence (i.e., code) to encode data encoded signal = (original data) X (chipping sequence) decoding: inner-product of encoded signal and chipping sequence allows multiple users to “coexist” and transmit simultaneously with minimal interference (if codes are “orthogonal”)

802.11: Channels, association

802.11b: 2.4GHz-2.485GHz spectrum divided into 11 channels at different frequencies; 3 non-overlapping

AP admin chooses frequency for AP

interference possible: channel can be same as that chosen by neighboring AP!

host: must associate with an AP scans channels, listening for beacon frames containing AP’s name (SSID) and MAC address

selects AP to associate with; initiates association protocol

may perform authentication

will typically run DHCP to get IP address in AP’s subnet

53

6: Wireless and Mobile Networks 6-585

IEEE 802.11: multiple access

Like Ethernet, uses CSMA: random access

carrier sense: don’t collide with ongoing transmission

Unlike Ethernet: no collision detection – transmit all frames to completion

acknowledgment – because without collision detection, you don’t know if your transmission collided or not

Why no collision detection? difficult to receive (sense collisions) when transmitting due to weak received signals (fading)

can’t sense all collisions in any case: hidden terminal, fading

Goal: avoid collisions: CSMA/C(ollision)A(voidance)

6: Wireless and Mobile Networks 6-586

IEEE 802.11 MAC Protocol: CSMA/CA

802.11 sender

1 if sense channel idle for DIFS then

- transmit entire frame (no CD)

2 if sense channel busy then

- start random backoff time

- timer counts down while channel idle

- transmit when timer expires

- if no ACK, increase random backoff interval, repeat 2

802.11 receiver if frame received OK

- return ACK after SIFS (ACK needed due to hidden terminal problem)

sender receiver

DIFS

SIFS

ACK

54

6: Wireless and Mobile Networks 6-587

RTS/CTS idea: allow sender to “reserve” channel rather than random

access of data frames: avoid collisions of long data frames optional; not typically used sender first transmits small request-to-send (RTS) packets to AP using CSMA

RTSs may still collide with each other (but they’re short) AP broadcasts clear-to-send CTS in response to RTS CTS heard by all nodes

sender transmits data frame other stations defer transmissions

Avoid data frame collisions completely

using small reservation packets!

Mobility: Vocabulary home network: permanent

“home” of mobile (e.g., 128.119.40/24)

Permanent address:

correspondent: wants to

communicate with

mobile

6: Wireless and Mobile Networks 6-604

How do you contact a mobile friend:

search all phone books?

call her parents?

expect her to let you know where he/she is?

I wonder where

Alice moved to? Consider friend frequently changing

addresses, how do you find her?

63

6: Wireless and Mobile Networks 6-605

Mobility: approaches

Let routing handle it: routers advertise permanent address of mobile-nodes-in-residence via usual routing table exchange.

routing tables indicate where each mobile located

no changes to end-systems

Let end-systems handle it:

indirect routing: communication from correspondent to mobile goes through home agent, then forwarded to remote

direct routing: correspondent gets foreign address of mobile, sends directly to mobile

Mobile uses two addresses:

foreign agent functions may be done by mobile itself

triangle routing: correspondent-home-network-mobile

inefficient when

correspondent, mobile

are in same network

6: Wireless and Mobile Networks 6-610

Indirect Routing: moving between networks

suppose mobile user moves to another network

registers with new foreign agent

new foreign agent registers with home agent

home agent update care-of-address for mobile

packets continue to be forwarded to mobile (but with new care-of-address)

mobility, changing foreign networks transparent: on going connections can be maintained!

Handling mobility in cellular networks

home network: network of cellular provider you subscribe to (e.g., Sprint PCS, Verizon)

home location register (HLR): database in home network containing permanent cell phone #, profile information (services, preferences, billing), information about current location (could be in another network)

visited network: network in which mobile currently resides

visitor location register (VLR): database with entry for each user currently in network could be home network

GSM: handoff with common MSC

Handoff goal: route call via new base station (without interruption)

reasons for handoff: stronger signal to/from new BSS (continuing connectivity, less battery drain)

load balance: free up channel in current BSS

GSM doesn’t mandate why to perform handoff (policy), only how (mechanism)

handoff initiated by old BSS

new BSS

1. old BSS informs MSC of impending

handoff, provides list of 1+ new BSSs

2. MSC sets up path (allocates resources)

to new BSS

3. new BSS allocates radio channel for

use by mobile

4. new BSS signals MSC, old BSS: ready

5. old BSS tells mobile: perform handoff to

new BSS

6. mobile, new BSS signal to activate new

channel

7. mobile signals via new BSS to MSC:

handoff complete. MSC reroutes call

Wireless, mobility: impact on higher layer protocols

logically, impact should be minimal …

best effort service model remains unchanged

TCP and UDP can (and do) run over wireless, mobile

… but performance-wise:

packet loss/delay due to bit-errors (discarded packets, delays for link-layer retransmissions), and handoff

TCP interprets loss as congestion, will decrease congestion window un-necessarily

delay impairments for real-time traffic

limited bandwidth of wireless links
