Introduction A tunnel-based Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) method is an EAP method that establishes a secure tunnel and executes other EAP methods under the protection of that secure tunnel. A tunnel-based EAP method can be used in any lower-layer protocol that supports EAP authentication. There are several existing tunnel-based EAP methods that use Transport Layer Security (TLS) [RFC8446] to establish the secure tunnel. EAP methods supporting this include Protected EAP (PEAP) [PEAP], EAP Tunneled Transport Layer Security (EAP-TTLS) [RFC5281], and EAP Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling (EAP- FAST) [RFC4851]. However, they all are either vendor-specific or informational, and the industry calls for a Standards Track tunnel- based EAP method. [RFC6678] outlines the list of requirements for a standard tunnel-based EAP method. This document describes the Tunnel Extensible Authentication Protocol (TEAP) version 1, which is based on EAP-FAST [RFC4851]. The changes from EAP-FAST to TEAP are largely minor, in order to meet the requirements outlined in [RFC6678] for a standard tunnel-based EAP method. DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 5] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 This specification describes TEAPv1, and defines cryptographic derivations for TLS 1.2 and earlier. When TLS 1.3 is used, the definitions of cryptographic derivations in [RFC9427] MUST be used instead of the ones given here. 1.1. Specification Requirements 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 BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here. 1.2. Terminology Much of the terminology in this document comes from [RFC3748]. Additional terms are defined below: Type-Length-Value (TLV) The TEAP protocol utilizes objects in TLV format. The TLV format is defined in Section 4.2. Inner method An authentication method which is sent as application data inside of a TLS exchange which is carried over TEAP. The inner method can be an EAP authentication method, a username / password authentication, or a vendor-specific authentication method. Where the TLS connection is authenticated, the inner method could also be a PKCS exchange. 2. Protocol Overview TEAP authentication occurs in two phases after the initial EAP Identity request/response exchange. In the first phase, TEAP employs the TLS [RFC8446] handshake to provide an authenticated key exchange and to establish a protected tunnel. Once the tunnel is established, the second phase begins with the peer and server engaging in further conversations to establish the required authentication and authorization policies. TEAP makes use of TLV objects to carry out the inner authentication, results, and other information, such as channel-binding information. As discussed in [RFC9190] Section 2.1.7 and [RFC9427] Section 3.1, the outer EAP Identity SHOULD be an anonymous NAI Network Access Identifier (NAI) [RFC7542]. While [RFC3748] Section 5.1 places no limits on the contents of the Identity field, [RFC7542] Section 2.6 DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 6] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 states that Identities which do not follow the NAI format cannot be transported in an Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) proxy network. As such, Identities in non-NAI form are likely to not work outside of limited and local networks. Any inner identities (EAP or otherwise) SHOULD also follow the recommendations of [RFC9427] Section 3.1. [RFC7170] defined a Protected Access Credential (PAC) to mirror EAP- FAST [RFC4851]. However, implementation experience and analysis determined that the PAC was not necessary. Instead, TEAP performs session resumption using the NewSessionTicket message as defined in [RFC9190] Section 2.1.2 and Section 2.1.3. As such, the PAC has been removed from this document. The TEAP conversation is used to establish or resume an existing session to typically establish network connectivity between a peer and the network. Upon successful execution of TEAP, the EAP peer and EAP server both derive strong session key material (Master Session Key [RFC3748]) that can then be communicated to the network access server (NAS) for use in establishing a link-layer security association. 2.1. Architectural Model The network architectural model for TEAP usage is shown below: +----------+ +----------+ +----------+ +----------+ | | | | | | | Inner | | Peer |<---->| Authen- |<---->| TEAP |<---->| Method | | | | ticator | | server | | server | | | | | | | | | +----------+ +----------+ +----------+ +----------+ Figure 1: TEAP Architectural Model The Peer and Authenticator are defined in Section 1.2 of [RFC3748]. The TEAP server is the "backend authentication server" defined in Section 1.2 of [RFC3748]. The "Inner Method server" is usually part of the TEAP server, and handles the application data (inner methods, EAP, passwords, etc.) inside of the TLS tunnel. The entities depicted above are logical entities and may or may not correspond to separate network components. For example, the TEAP server and Inner Method server might be a single entity; the authenticator and TEAP server might be a single entity; or the functions of the authenticator, TEAP server, and Inner Method server might be combined into a single physical device. For example, DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 7] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 typical IEEE 802.11 deployments place the authenticator in an access point (AP) while a RADIUS server may provide the TEAP and inner method server components. The above diagram illustrates the division of labor among entities in a general manner and shows how a distributed system might be constructed; however, actual systems might be realized more simply. The security considerations in Section 7.3 provide an additional discussion of the implications of separating the TEAP server from the Inner Method server. 2.2. Protocol-Layering Model TEAP packets are encapsulated within EAP; EAP in turn requires a transport protocol. TEAP packets encapsulate TLS, which is then used to encapsulate user authentication information. Thus, TEAP messaging can be described using a layered model, where each layer encapsulates the layer above it. The following diagram clarifies the relationship between protocols: +------------------------------------------+ | Inner EAP Method | Other TLV information | |------------------------------------------| | TLV Encapsulation (TLVs) | |------------------------------------------+---------------------+ | TLS | Optional Outer TLVs | |----------------------------------------------------------------| | TEAP | |----------------------------------------------------------------| | EAP | |----------------------------------------------------------------| | Carrier Protocol (EAP over LAN, RADIUS, Diameter, etc.) | +----------------------------------------------------------------+ Figure 2: Protocol-Layering Model The TLV layer is a payload with TLV objects as defined in Section 4.2. The TLV objects are used to carry arbitrary parameters between an EAP peer and an EAP server. All data exchanges in the TEAP protected tunnel are encapsulated in a TLV layer. Methods for encapsulating EAP within carrier protocols are already defined. For example, IEEE 802.1X [IEEE.802-1X.2013] may be used to transport EAP between the peer and the authenticator; RADIUS [RFC3579] or Diameter [RFC4072] may be used to transport EAP between the authenticator and the EAP server. DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 8] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 2.3. Outer TLVs versus Inner TLVs TEAP packets may include TLVs both inside and outside the TLS tunnel defined as follows: Outer TLVs This term is used to refer to optional TLVs outside the TLS tunnel, which are only allowed in the first two messages in the TEAP protocol. That is the first EAP-server-to-peer message and first peer-to-EAP-server message. If the message is fragmented, the whole set of fragments is counted as one message. Inner TLVs This term is used to refer to TLVs sent within the TLS tunnel. In TEAP Phase 1, Outer TLVs are used to help establish the TLS tunnel, but no Inner TLVs are used. In Phase 2 of TEAP, TLS records may encapsulate zero or more Inner TLVs, but no Outer TLVs are used. 3. TEAP Protocol The operation of the protocol, including Phase 1 and Phase 2, is the topic of this section. The format of TEAP messages is given in Section 4, and the cryptographic calculations are given in Section 5. 3.1. Version Negotiation TEAP packets contain a 3-bit Version field, following the TLS Flags field, which enables future TEAP implementations to be backward compatible with previous versions of the protocol. This specification documents the TEAP version 1 protocol; implementations of this specification MUST use a Version field set to 1. Version negotiation proceeds as follows: 1. In the first EAP-Request sent with EAP type=TEAP, the EAP server MUST set the Version field to the highest version it supports. 2. If the EAP peer supports this version of the protocol, it responds with an EAP-Response of EAP type=TEAP, including the version number proposed by the TEAP server. 3. If the TEAP peer does not support the proposed version but supports a lower version, it responds with an EAP-Response of EAP type=TEAP and sets the Version field to its highest supported version. DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 9] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 4. If the TEAP peer only supports versions higher than the version proposed by the TEAP server, then use of TEAP will not be possible. In this case, the TEAP peer sends back an EAP-Nak either to negotiate a different EAP type or to indicate no other EAP types are available. 5. If the TEAP server does not support the version number proposed by the TEAP peer, it MUST either terminate the conversation with an EAP Failure or negotiate a new EAP type. 6. If the TEAP server does support the version proposed by the TEAP peer, then the conversation continues using the version proposed by the TEAP peer. The version negotiation procedure guarantees that the TEAP peer and server will agree to the latest version supported by both parties. If version negotiation fails, then use of TEAP will not be possible, and another mutually acceptable EAP method will need to be negotiated if authentication is to proceed. The TEAP version is not protected by TLS and hence can be modified in transit. In order to detect a bid-down attack on the TEAP version, the peers MUST exchange the TEAP version number received during version negotiation using the Crypto-Binding TLV described in Section 4.2.13. The receiver of the Crypto-Binding TLV MUST verify that the version received in the Crypto-Binding TLV matches the version sent by the receiver in the TEAP version negotiation. Intermediate results are signaled via the Intermediate-Result TLV. However, the Crypto-Binding TLV MUST be validated before any Intermediate-Result TLV or Result TLV is examined. If the Crypto- Binding TLV fails to be validated for any reason, then it is a fatal error and is handled as described in Section 3.9.3. The true success or failure of TEAP is conveyed by the Result TLV, with value Success or Failure. However, as EAP terminates with either a cleartext EAP Success or Failure, a peer will also receive a cleartext EAP Success or Failure. The received cleartext EAP Success or Failure MUST match that received in the Result TLV; the peer SHOULD silently discard those cleartext EAP Success or Failure messages which do not coincide with the status sent in the protected Result TLV. DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 10] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 3.2. TEAP Authentication Phase 1: Tunnel Establishment TEAP relies on the TLS handshake [RFC8446] to establish an authenticated and protected tunnel. The TLS version offered by the peer and server MUST be TLS version 1.2 [RFC5246] or later. This version of the TEAP implementation MUST support the following TLS cipher suites: * TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 * TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 Other cipher suites MAY be supported. Implementations MUST implement the recommended cipher suites in [RFC9325] Section 4.2 for TLS 1.2, and in [RFC9325] Section 4.2 for TLS 1.3. It is REQUIRED that anonymous cipher suites such as TLS_DH_anon_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA [RFC5246] only be used in the case when the inner method provides mutual authentication, key generation, and resistance to man-in-the-middle and dictionary attacks. TLS cipher suites that do not provide confidentiality MUST NOT be used. During the TEAP Phase 1, the TEAP endpoints MAY negotiate TLS compression. During TLS tunnel establishment, TLS extensions MAY be used. For instance, the Certificate Status Request extension [RFC6066] and the Multiple Certificate Status Request extension [RFC6961] can be used to leverage a certificate-status protocol such as Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) [RFC6960] to check the validity of server certificates. TLS renegotiation indications defined in RFC 5746 [RFC5746] MUST be supported. Use of TLS-PSK is NOT RECOMMENDED. TEAP has not been designed to work with TLS-PSK, and no use-cases, security analyses, or implementations have been done. TLS-PSK may work (or not) with TEAP, depending on the status of a particular implementation, and it is therefore not useful to deploy it. The EAP server initiates the TEAP conversation with an EAP request containing a TEAP/Start packet. This packet includes a set Start (S) bit, the TEAP version as specified in Section 3.1, and an authority identity TLV. The TLS payload in the initial packet is empty. The authority identity TLV (Authority-ID TLV) is used to provide the peer a hint of the server's identity that may be useful in helping the peer select the appropriate credential to use. Assuming that the peer supports TEAP, the conversation continues with the peer sending an EAP-Response packet with EAP type of TEAP with the Start (S) bit clear and the version as specified in Section 3.1. This message encapsulates one or more TLS handshake messages. If the TEAP version negotiation is successful, then the TEAP conversation continues until DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 11] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 the EAP server and EAP peer are ready to enter Phase 2. When the full TLS handshake is performed, then the first payload of TEAP Phase 2 MAY be sent along with a server-finished handshake message to reduce the number of round trips. TEAP implementations MUST support mutual peer authentication during tunnel establishment using the TLS cipher suites specified in this section. The TEAP peer does not need to authenticate as part of the TLS exchange but can alternatively be authenticated through additional exchanges carried out in Phase 2. The TEAP tunnel protects peer identity information exchanged during Phase 2 from disclosure outside the tunnel. Implementations that wish to provide identity privacy for the peer identity need to carefully consider what information is disclosed outside the tunnel prior to Phase 2. TEAP implementations SHOULD support the immediate renegotiation of a TLS session to initiate a new handshake message exchange under the protection of the current cipher suite. This allows support for protection of the peer's identity when using TLS client authentication. An example of the exchanges using TLS renegotiation to protect privacy is shown in Appendix C. 3.3. Server Certificate Requirements Server Certificates MAY be constructed with a SubjectDN containing a single element, "CN=" containing the FQDN of the server. It is also permissible for the server to have an empty subjectDN as recommended by {!{I-D.ietf-uta-rfc6125bis}}. Server Certificates MUST include a subjectAltName extension, with the dnsName attribute containing an FQDN string. The KeyUsage extension MAY be included, but are not required. The ExtendedKeyUsage extensions defined in [RFC5280] MAY also be included, but their use is discouraged. Systems SHOULD use a a private Certification Authority (CA) for EAP in preference to public CAs. 3.4. Server Certificate Validation As part of the TLS negotiation, the server usually presents a certificate to the peer. In most cases the certificate needs to be validated, but there are a number of situations where the EAP peer need not do certificate validation: * when the peer has the Server's End Entity (EE) certificate pinned or loaded directly into it's Trusted Anchor store [RFC4949]; DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 12] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 * when the peer is requesting server unauthenticated provisioning; * when the peer is certain that it will be using an authenticated inner method. In some cases such as onboarding (or "bootstrapping"), the certificate validation may be delayed. However, once the onboarding has taken place, the validation steps described below MUST still be performed. In all other cases, the EAP peer MUST validate the server certificate. This validation is done in the same manner as is done for EAP-TLS, which is discussed in [RFC9190] Section 5.3 and in [RFC5216] Section 5.3. Further guidance on server certificate validation can be found in [I-D.ietf-uta-rfc6125bis]. Where the EAP peer has an NAI, EAP peers MUST use the realm to perform the DNS-ID validation as per [I-D.ietf-uta-rfc6125bis] Section 6, The realm is used both to construct the list of reference identifiers as defined in [I-D.ietf-uta-rfc6125bis] Section 6.2.1, and as the "source domain" field of that same section. When performing server certificate validation, implementations MUST also support the rules in [RFC5280] for validating certificates against a known trust anchor. In addition, implementations MUST support matching the realm portion of the peer's NAI against a SubjectAltName of type dnsName within the server certificate. However, in certain deployments, this comparison might not be appropriate or enabled. In most situations, the EAP peer will have no network access during the authentication process. It will therefore no way of correlating the server identity given in the certificate presented by the EAP server with a hostname, as is done with other protocols such as HTTPS. Therefore, if the EAP peer has no preconfigured trust anchor, it will have few, if any ways of validating the servers certificate. 3.4.1. Client Certificates sent during Phase 1 Note that since TLS client certificates are sent in the clear with TLS 1.2 and earlier, if identity protection is required, then it is possible for the TLS authentication to be renegotiated after the first server authentication. To accomplish this, the server will typically not request a certificate in the server_hello; then, after the server_finished message is sent and before TEAP Phase 2, the server MAY send a TLS hello_request. This allows the peer to perform client authentication by sending a client_hello if it wants to or send a no_renegotiation alert to the server indicating that it wants DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 13] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 to continue with TEAP Phase 2 instead. Assuming that the peer permits renegotiation by sending a client_hello, then the server will respond with server_hello, certificate, and certificate_request messages. The peer replies with certificate, client_key_exchange, and certificate_verify messages. Since this renegotiation occurs within the encrypted TLS channel, it does not reveal client certificate details. It is possible to perform certificate authentication using EAP (for example, EAP-TLS) within the TLS session in TEAP Phase 2 instead of using TLS handshake renegotiation. When TLS 1.3 or later is used, it is RECOMMENDED that client certificates are sent in Phase 1, instead of via Phase 2 and EAP-TLS. Doing so will reduce the number of round trips. Further discussion of this issue is given below in Section 3.6.4 3.5. Resumption For resumption, [RFC9190] Section 5.7 discusses EAP-TLS resumption for all versions of TLS, and is incorporated herein by reference. [RFC9427] Section 4 is also incorporated by reference, as it provides generic discussion of resumption for TLS-based EAP methods when TLS 1.3 is used. This document only describes TEAP issues when resumption is used for TLS versions of 1.2 and earlier. It also describes resumption issues which are specific to TEAP for TLS 1.3. If the server agrees to resume the session, Phase 2 is bypassed entirely. If the server does not agree to resume the session, then the server rejects the resumption as per [RFC9190] Section 5.7. It then continues with a full handshake. After the full TLS handshake has completed, both EAP server and peer MUST proceed with Phase 2. All TEAP implementations MUST support resumption. Using resumption can significantly improve the scalability and stability of authentication systems. For example, some environments such as universities may have users re-authenticating multiple times a day, if not hourly. Failure to implement resumption would increase the load on the user database by orders of magnitude, leading to unnecessary cost. The following sections describe how a TEAP session can be resumed based on server-side or client-side state. DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 14] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 3.5.1. TLS Session Resumption Using Server State TEAP session resumption is achieved in the same manner TLS achieves session resumption. To support session resumption, the server and peer cache the Session ID, master secret, and cipher suite. The peer attempts to resume a session by including a valid Session ID from a previous TLS handshake in its ClientHello message. If the server finds a match for the Session ID and is willing to establish a new connection using the specified session state, the server will respond with the same Session ID and proceed with the TEAP Phase 1 tunnel establishment based on a TLS abbreviated handshake. 3.5.2. TLS Session Resumption Using Client State TEAP supports the resumption of sessions based on state being stored on the client side using the TLS SessionTicket extension techniques described in [RFC5077] and [RFC9190]. 3.6. TEAP Authentication Phase 2: Tunneled Authentication The second portion of the TEAP authentication occurs immediately after successful completion of Phase 1. Phase 2 occurs even if both peer and authenticator are authenticated in the Phase 1 TLS negotiation. Phase 2 MUST NOT occur if the Phase 1 TLS handshake fails, as that will compromise the security as the tunnel has not been established successfully. Phase 2 consists of a series of requests and responses encapsulated in TLV objects defined in Section 4.2. Phase 2 MUST always end with a Crypto-Binding TLV exchange described in Section 4.2.13 and a protected termination exchange described in Section 3.6.5. If the peer is not authenticated in Phase 1, the TEAP peer SHOULD send one or more Identity-Hint TLVs (Section 4.2.20 as soon as the TLS connection has been established. This information lets the TEAP server choose an authentication type which is appropriate for that identity. When the TEAP peer does not provide an Identity-Hint TLV, the TEAP server does not know which inner method is supported by the peer. It must necessarily choose an inner method, and propose it to the peer, which may reject that inner method. The result will be that the peer fails to authenticate, and fails to obtain network access. The TLV exchange includes the execution of zero or more inner methods within the protected tunnel as described in Section 3.6.1 and Section 3.6.2. A server MAY proceed directly to the protected termination exchange, without performing any inner authentication if it does not wish to request further authentication from the peer. A server MAY request one or more authentications within the protected DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 15] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 tunnel. After completion of each inner method, the server decides whether or not to begin another inner method, or to send a Result TLV. Implementations MUST support at least two sequential inner methods, which allows both Machine and User authentication to be performed. Implementations SHOULD also limit the number of sequential inner authentications, as there is no reason to perform a large number of inner authentications in one TEAP conversation. Implementations wishing to use their own proprietary authentication method, may substitute the EAP-Payload or Basic-Password-Auth-Req TLV for the Vendor-Specific TLV which carries another authentication method. Any vendor-specific authentication method MUST support calculation of the Crypto-Binding TLV, and MUST use Intermediate- Result TLV and Result TLV as is done with other authentication methods. Implementations SHOULD support both EAP and basic password for inner methods. Implementations which support multiple types of inner method MUST support all of those methods in any order or combination. That is, it is explicitly permitted to "mix and match" inner methods. However, the peer and server MUST NOT assume that either will skip inner methods or other TLV exchanges, as the other peer might have a different security policy. The peer may have roamed to a network that requires conformance with a different authentication policy, or the peer may request the server take additional action (e.g., channel binding) through the use of the Request-Action TLV as defined in Section 4.2.9. The completion of each inner method is signaled by an Intermediate- Result TLV. Where the Intermediate-Result TLV indicates failure, an Error TLV SHOULD also be included, using the most descriptive error code possible. The Intermediate-Result TLV may be accompanied by another TLV indicating that the server wishes to perform a subsequent authentication. When the authentication sequence completes, the server MUST send a Result TLV indicating success or failure instead of a TLV which carries an inner method. 3.6.1. Inner EAP Authentication EAP [RFC3748] prohibits use of multiple authentication methods within a single EAP conversation in order to limit vulnerabilities to man- in-the-middle attacks. TEAP addresses man-in-the-middle attacks through support for cryptographic protection of the inner EAP exchange and cryptographic binding of the inner EAP method(s) to the protected tunnel. Inner methods are executed serially in a sequence. DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 16] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 This version of TEAP does not support initiating multiple inner methods simultaneously in parallel. The inner methods need not be distinct. For example, EAP-TLS ([RFC5216] and [RFC9190]) could be run twice as an inner method, first using machine credentials followed by a second instance using user credentials. When EAP is used as an inner method, the EAP messages are carried within EAP-Payload TLVs defined in Section 4.2.10. Note that in this use-case, TEAP is simply a carrier for EAP, much as RADIUS is a carrier for EAP. The full EAP state machine is run as normal, and is carried over the EAP-Payload TLV. Each distinct EAP authentication MUST be managed as a separate EAP state machine. A TEAP server therefore MUST begin an EAP authentication with an EAP- Request/Identity (carried in an EAP-Payload TLV). However, a TEAP server MUST NOT finish the EAP conversation with an EAP Success or EAP Failure packet, the Intermediate-Result TLV is used instead. Upon completion of each EAP authentication in the tunnel, the server MUST send an Intermediate-Result TLV indicating the result of that authentication. When the result indicates, success it MUST be accompanied by a Crypto-Binding TLV. The peer MUST respond to the Intermediate-Result TLV indicating its own result and similarly on success MUST accompany the TLV with it's own Crypto-Binding TLV. The Crypto-Binding TLV is further discussed in Section 4.2.13 and Section 5.3. The Intermediate-Result TLVs can be included with other TLVs which indicate a subsequent authentication, or with the Result TLV used in the protected termination exchange. If both peer and server indicate success, then the authentication is considered successful. If either indicates failure, then the authentication is considered failed. The result of failure of an EAP authentication does not always imply a failure of the overall authentication. If one inner method fails, the server may attempt to authenticate the peer with a different method (EAP or password). If a particular inner method succeeds, the server MUST NOT attempt a subsequent inner method for the same Identity-Type. For example, if a user is authenticated via an inner method of EAP-TLS, there is no benefit to also requesting additional authentication via a different inner method. DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 17] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 3.6.2. Inner Password Authentication The authentication server initiates password authentication by sending a Basic-Password-Auth-Req TLV defined in Section 4.2.14. If the peer wishes to participate in password authentication, then it responds with a Basic-Password-Auth-Resp TLV as defined in Section 4.2.15 that contains the username and password. If it does not wish to perform password authentication, then it responds with a NAK TLV indicating the rejection of the Basic-Password-Auth-Req TLV. The basic password authentication defined here is similar in functionality to that used by EAP-TTLS ([RFC5281]) with inner password authentication. It shares a similar security and risk analysis. Multiple round trips of password authentication requests and responses MAY be used to support some "housekeeping" functions such as a password or pin change before a user is considered to be authenticated. Multiple rounds MAY also be used to communicate a users password, and separately a one-time password such as TOTP [RFC6238]. Implementations MUST limit the number of rounds trips for password authentication. It is reasonable to use one or two round trips. Further round trips are likely to be problematic, and SHOULD be avoided. The first Basic-Password-Auth-Req TLV received in a session MUST include a prompt, which the peer displays to the user. Subsequent authentication rounds SHOULD include a prompt, but it is not always necessary. When the peer first receives a Basic-Password-Auth-Req TLV, it should allow the user to enter both a Username and a Password, which are then placed in the Basic-Password-Auth-Resp TLV. If the peer receives subsequent Basic-Password-Auth-Req TLVs in the same authentication session, it MUST NOT prompt for a Username, and instead allow the user to enter only a password. The peer MUST copy the Username used in the first Basic-Password-Auth-Resp TLV into all subsequent Basic-Password-Auth-Resp TLVs. Servers MUST track the Username across multiple password rounds, and reject authentication if the identity changes from one Basic- Password-Auth-Resp TLV to the next. There is no reason for a user (or machine) to change identities in the middle of authentication. DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 18] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 Upon reception of a Basic-Password-Auth-Resp TLV in the tunnel, the server MUST send an Intermediate-Result TLV indicating the result. The peer MUST respond to the Intermediate-Result TLV indicating its result. If the result indicates success, the Intermediate-Result TLV MUST be accompanied by a Crypto-Binding TLV. The Crypto-Binding TLV is further discussed in Section 4.2.13 and Section 5.3. The Intermediate-Result TLVs can be included with other TLVs which indicate a subsequent authentication, or with the Result TLV used in the protected termination exchange. The use of EAP-FAST-GTC as defined in RFC 5421 [RFC5421] is NOT RECOMMENDED with TEAPv1 because EAP-FAST-GTC is not compliant with EAP-GTC defined in [RFC3748]. Implementations should instead make use of the password authentication TLVs defined in this specification. 3.6.3. EAP-MSCHAPv2 If using EAP-MSCHAPv2 [KAMATH] as an inner EAP method, the EAP-FAST- MSCHAPv2 variant defined in Section 3.2.3 of [RFC5422] MUST be used, instead of the derivation defined in [MSCHAP]. The difference between EAP-MSCHAPv2 and EAP-FAST-MSCHAPv2 is that the first and the second 16 octets of EAP-MSCHAPv2 MSK are swapped when it is used as the Inner Method Session Keys (IMSK) for TEAP. 3.6.4. Limitations on inner methods Tunneled EAP methods such as (PEAP) [PEAP], EAP-TTLS [RFC5281], and EAP- FAST [RFC4851] MUST NOT be used for inner EAP authentication. There is no reason to have multiple layers of TLS to protect a password exchange. The EAP methods defined in [RFC3748] Section 5 such as MD5-Challenge, One-Time Password (OTP), and Generic Token Card (GTC) do not derive an EMSK, and are vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks. The construction of the OTP and GTC methods makes this attack less relevant, as the information being sent is a one-time token. However, MD5-Challenge has no such safety, and TEAP implementations MUST NOT permit the use of MD5-Challenge or other inner methods which fail to perform crypto-binding of the inner method to the TLS session. Similarly, EAP-OTP and EAP-GTC MUST NOT be used for inner EAP authentication. They offer no benefit over the basic password authentication defined in Section 3.6.2. DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 19] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 Implementations SHOULD limit the permitted inner EAP methods to a small set such as EAP-TLS, EAP-MSCHAPv2, and perhaps EAP-pwd. There are few reasons for allowing all possible EAP methods to be used in Phase 2. Implementations MUST NOT permit resumption for the inner EAP methods such as EAP-TLS. If the user or machine needs to be authenticated, it should use a method which provides full authentication. If the user or machine needs to do resumption, it can perform a full authentication once, and then rely on the outer TLS session for resumption. This restriction applies also to all TLS-based EAP methods which can tunnel other EAP methods. As a result, this document updates [RFC9427]. EAP-TLS is permitted in Phase 2 for two use-cases. The first is when TLS 1.2 is used, as the client certificate is not protected as with TLS 1.3. It is therefore RECOMMENDED that when TLS 1.3 is used, the client certificate is sent in Phase 1, instead of doing EAP-TLS in Phase 2. The second use-case for EAP-TLS in Phase 2 is where both the user and machine use client certificates for authentication. Since TLS only permits one client certificate to be presented, only one certificate can be used in Phase 1. The second certificate is then presented via EAP-TLS in Phase 2. For basic password authentication, it is RECOMMENDED that this method be only used for the exchange of one-time passwords. The existence of password-based EAP methods such as EAP-pwd ([RFC5931] and [RFC8146]) makes most clear-text password exchanges unnecessary. The updates to EAP-pwd in [RFC8146] permit it to be used with databases which store passwords in "salted" form, which greatly increases security. Where the inner method does not provide an MSK or EMSK, the Crypto- Binding TLV offers little protection, as it cannot tie the inner EMSK to the TLS session via the TLS-PRF. As a result, the TEAP session will be vulnerable to on-path active attacks. Implementations and deployments SHOULD adopt various mitigation strategies described in [RFC7029] Section 3.2. DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 20] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 3.6.5. Protected Termination and Acknowledged Result Indication A successful TEAP Phase 2 conversation MUST always end in a successful Crypto-Binding TLV and Result TLV exchange. A TEAP server may initiate the Crypto-Binding TLV and Result TLV exchange without initiating any inner methods in TEAP Phase 2. After the final Result TLV exchange, the TLS tunnel is terminated, and a cleartext EAP Success or EAP Failure is sent by the server. Peers implementing TEAP MUST NOT accept a cleartext EAP Success or failure packet prior to the peer and server reaching synchronized protected result indication. The Crypto-Binding TLV exchange is used to prove that both the peer and server participated in the tunnel establishment and sequence of authentications. It also provides verification of the TEAP type, version negotiated, and Outer TLVs exchanged before the TLS tunnel establishment. Except as noted below, the Crypto-Binding TLV MUST be exchanged and verified before the final Result TLV exchange, regardless of whether or not there is an inner method. The Crypto- Binding TLV and Intermediate-Result TLV MUST be included to perform cryptographic binding after each successful authentication in a sequence of one or more inner methods. The server may send the final Result TLV along with an Intermediate-Result TLV and a Crypto-Binding TLV to indicate its intention to end the conversation. If the peer requires nothing more from the server, it will respond with a Result TLV indicating success accompanied by a Crypto-Binding TLV and Intermediate-Result TLV if necessary. The server then tears down the tunnel and sends a cleartext EAP Success or EAP Failure. If the peer receives a Result TLV indicating success from the server, but its authentication policies are not satisfied (for example, it requires a particular authentication mechanism be run), it may request further action from the server using the Request-Action TLV. The Request-Action TLV is sent with a Status field indicating what EAP Success/Failure result the peer would expect if the requested action is not granted. The value of the Action field indicates what the peer would like to do next. The format and values for the Request-Action TLV are defined in Section 4.2.9. Upon receiving the Request-Action TLV, the server may process the request or ignore it, based on its policy. If the server ignores the request, it proceeds with termination of the tunnel and sends the cleartext EAP Success or Failure message based on the Status field of the peer's Request-Action TLV. If the server honors and processes the request, it continues with the requested action. The conversation completes with a Result TLV exchange. The Result TLV may be included with the TLV that completes the requested action. DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 21] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 Error handling for Phase 2 is discussed in Section 3.9.3. 3.7. Determining Peer-Id and Server-Id The Peer-Id and Server-Id [RFC5247] may be determined based on the types of credentials used during either the TEAP tunnel creation or authentication. In the case of multiple peer authentications, all authenticated peer identities and their corresponding identity types (Section 4.2.3) need to be exported. In the case of multiple server authentications, all authenticated server identities need to be exported. When X.509 certificates are used for peer authentication, the Peer-Id is determined by the subject and subjectAltName fields in the peer certificate. As noted in [RFC5280]: The subject field identifies the entity associated with the public key stored in the subject public key field. The subject name MAY be carried in the subject field and/or the subjectAltName extension. . . . If subject naming information is present only in the subjectAltName extension (e.g., a key bound only to an email address or URI), then the subject name MUST be an empty sequence and the subjectAltName extension MUST be critical. Where it is non-empty, the subject field MUST contain an X.500 distinguished name (DN). If an inner EAP authentication method is run, then the Peer-Id is obtained from that inner EAP authentication method. When the server uses an X.509 certificate to establish the TLS tunnel, the Server-Id is determined in a similar fashion as stated above for the Peer-Id, e.g., the subject and subjectAltName fields in the server certificate define the Server-Id. 3.8. TEAP Session Identifier For TLS 1.2 and earlier, the EAP session identifier [RFC5247] is constructed using the tls-unique from the Phase 1 outer tunnel at the beginning of Phase 2 as defined by Section 3.1 of [RFC5929]. The Session-Id is defined as follows: Session-Id = teap_type | tls-unique where | denotes concatenation, and teap_type is the EAP Type assigned to TEAP DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 22] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 tls-unique = tls-unique from the Phase 1 outer tunnel at the beginning of Phase 2 as defined by Section 3.1 of [RFC5929] The Session-Id derivation for TLS 1.3 is given in [RFC9427] Section 2.1 3.9. Error Handling TEAP uses the error-handling rules summarized below: 1. Errors in the outer EAP packet layer are handled as defined in Section 3.9.1. 2. Errors in the TLS layer are communicated via TLS alert messages in all phases of TEAP. 3. The Intermediate-Result TLVs carry success or failure indications of the individual inner methods in TEAP Phase 2. Errors within an EAP conversation in Phase 2 are expected to be handled by the individual EAP authentication methods. 4. Violations of the Inner TLV rules are handled using Result TLVs together with Error TLVs. 5. Tunnel-compromised errors (errors caused by a failed or missing Crypto-Binding) are handled using Result TLVs and Error TLVs. 3.9.1. Outer-Layer Errors Errors on the TEAP outer-packet layer are handled in the following ways: 1. If Outer TLVs are invalid or contain unknown values, they will be ignored. 2. The entire TEAP packet will be ignored if other fields (version, length, flags, etc.) are inconsistent with this specification. 3.9.2. TLS Layer Errors If the TEAP server detects an error at any point in the TLS handshake or the TLS layer, the server SHOULD send a TEAP request encapsulating a TLS record containing the appropriate TLS alert message rather than immediately terminating the TEAP exchange so as to allow the peer to inform the user of the cause of the failure. The TEAP peer MUST send a TEAP response to an alert message. The EAP-Response packet sent by the peer SHOULD contain a TEAP response with a zero-length message. The server MUST terminate the TEAP exchange with an EAP Failure DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 23] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 packet, no matter what the client says. If the TEAP peer detects an error at any point in the TLS layer, the TEAP peer SHOULD send a TEAP response encapsulating a TLS record containing the appropriate TLS alert message, and which contains a zero-length message. The server then MUST terminate the conversation with an EAP failure, as discussed in the previous paragraph. While [RFC8446] allows for the TLS conversation to be restarted, it is not clear when that would use useful (or used) for TEAP. Fatal TLS errors will cause the TLS conversation to fail. Non-fatal TLS errors can likely be ignored entirely. As a result, TEAP implementations MUST NOT permit TLS restarts. 3.9.3. Phase 2 Errors There are a large number of situations where errors can occur during Phase 2 processing. This section describes both those errors, and the recommended processing of them. When the server receives a Result TLV with a fatal Error TLV from the peer, it MUST terminate the TLS tunnel and reply with an EAP Failure. When the peer receives a Result TLV with a fatal Error TLV from the server, it MUST respond with a Result TLV indicating failure. The server MUST discard any data it receives from the peer, and reply with an EAP Failure. The final message from the peer is required by the EAP state machine, and serves only to allow the server to reply to the peer with the EAP Failure. The following items describe specific errors and processing in more detail. Fatal Error processing a TLV Any time the peer or the server finds a fatal error outside of the TLS layer during Phase 2 TLV processing, it MUST send a Result TLV of failure and an Error TLV using the most descriptive error code possible. Fatal Error during TLV Exchanges For errors involving the processing of the sequence of exchanges, such as a violation of TLV rules (e.g., multiple EAP-Payload TLVs), the error code is Unexpected TLVs Exchanged. Fatal Error due to tunnel compromise DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 24] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 For errors involving a tunnel compromise such as when the Crypto- Binding TLV fails validation, the error code is Tunnel Compromise Error. Non-Fatal Error due to inner method If there is a non-fatal error while running the inner method, the receiving side SHOULD NOT silently drop the inner method exchange. Instead, it SHOULD reply with an Error TLV containing using the most descriptive error code possible. If there is no error code which matches the particular issue, then the value Inner Method Error (1001) SHOULD be used. This response is a positive indication that there was an error processing the current inner method. The side receiving a non-fatal Error TLV MAY decide to start a new inner method instead or to send back a Result TLV to terminate the TEAP authentication session. 3.10. Fragmentation Fragmentation of EAP packets is discussed in [RFC5216] Section 2.1.5. There is no special handling of fragments for TEAP. 3.11. Services Requested by the Peer Several TEAP operations, including server unauthenticated provisioning, certificate provisioning, and channel binding, depend on the peer trusting the TEAP server. If the peer trusts the provided server certificate, then the server is authenticated. Typically, this authentication process involves the peer both validating the certificate to a trust anchor and confirming that the entity named by the certificate is the intended server. Server authentication also occurs when the procedures in Section 3.2 are used to resume a session where the peer and server were previously mutually authenticated. Alternatively, the server is deemed to be authenticated if an inner EAP method provides mutual authentication along with a Master Session Key (MSK) and/or Extended Master Session Key (EMSK). The inner method MUST also provide for cryptographic binding via the Compound Message Authentication Code (MAC), as discussed in Section 4.2.13. This issue is further described in Section 3.11.3. TEAP peers MUST track whether or not server authentication has taken place. When the server cannot be authenticated, the peer MUST NOT request any services such as certificate provisioning ({#cert- provisioning}) from it. DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 25] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 Peer implementations MUST be configured so that by default, the current authentication session fails if the server cannot be authenticated. However, it is possible to have a configuration flag which permits access to networks where the server cannot be authenticated. Such configurations are NOT recommended, and further discussion is outside of the scope of this specification. An additional complication arises when an inner method authenticates multiple parties such as authenticating both the peer machine and the peer user to the EAP server. Depending on how authentication is achieved, only some of these parties may have confidence in it. For example, if a strong shared secret is used to mutually authenticate the user and the EAP server, the machine may not have confidence that the EAP server is the authenticated party if the machine cannot trust the user not to disclose the shared secret to an attacker. In these cases, the parties who participate in the authentication need to be considered when evaluating whether the peer should request these services, or whether the server should provide them. The server MUST also authenticate the peer before providing these services. The alternative is to send provisioning data to unauthenticated and potentially malicious peers, which can have negative impacts on security. When a device is provisioned via TEAP, any subsequent authorization MUST be done on the authenticated credentials. That is, there may be no credentials (or anonymous credentials) passed in Phase 1, but there will be credentials passed or provisioned in Phase 2. If later authorizations are done on the Phase 1 identity, then a device could obtain the wrong authorization. If instead authorization is done on the authenticated credentials, then the device will obtain the correct kind of network access. The correct authorization must also be applied to any resumption, as noted in [RFC9190] Section 5.7. However, as it is possible in TEAP for the credentials to change, the new credentials MUST be associated with the session ticket. If this association cannot be done, then the server MUST invalidate any session tickets for the current session. This invalidation will force a full re-authentication on any subsequent connection, at which point the correct authorization will be associated with any session ticket. Note that the act of re-provisioning a device is essentially indistinguishable from any initial provisioning. The device authentications, and obtains new credentials via the standard provisioning mechanisms. The only caveat is that the device SHOULD NOT discard the old credentials unless either they are known to have expired, or the new credentials have been verified to work. DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 26] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 3.11.1. Certificate Provisioning within the Tunnel Provisioning of a peer's certificate is supported in TEAP by performing the Simple PKI Request/Response from [RFC5272] using PKCS#10 and PKCS#7 TLVs, respectively. A peer sends the Simple PKI Request using a PKCS#10 CertificateRequest [RFC2986] encoded into the body of a PKCS#10 TLV (see Section 4.2.17). The TEAP server issues a Simple PKI Response using a PKCS#7 [RFC2315] degenerate (i.e. unsigned) "Certificates Only" message encoded into the body of a PKCS#7 TLV (see Section 4.2.16), only after an inner method has run and provided an identity proof on the peer prior to a certificate is being issued. In order to provide linking identity and proof-of-possession by including information specific to the current authenticated TLS session within the signed certification request, the peer generating the request SHOULD obtain the tls-unique value from the TLS subsystem as defined in "Channel Bindings for TLS" [RFC5929]. The TEAP peer operations between obtaining the tls-unique value through generation of the Certification Signing Request (CSR) that contains the current tls-unique value and the subsequent verification of this value by the TEAP server are the "phases of the application protocol during which application-layer authentication occurs" that are protected by the synchronization interoperability mechanism described in the interoperability note in "Channel Bindings for TLS" ([RFC5929], Section 3.1). When performing renegotiation, TLS "secure_renegotiation" [RFC5746] MUST be used. The tls-unique value is base-64-encoded as specified in Section 4 of [RFC4648], and the resulting string is placed in the certification request challengePassword field ([RFC2985], Section 5.4.1). The challengePassword field is limited to 255 octets (Section 7.4.9 of [RFC5246] indicates that no existing cipher suite would result in an issue with this limitation). If tls-unique information is not embedded within the certification request, the challengePassword field MUST be empty to indicate that the peer did not include the optional channel-binding information (any value submitted is verified by the server as tls-unique information). The server SHOULD verify the tls-unique information. This ensures that the authenticated TEAP peer is in possession of the private key used to sign the certification request. The Simple PKI Request/Response generation and processing rules of [RFC5272] SHALL apply to TEAP, with the exception of error conditions. In the event of an error, the TEAP server SHOULD respond with an Error TLV using the most descriptive error code possible; it MAY ignore the PKCS#10 request that generated the error. DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 27] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 3.11.2. Certificate Content and Uses It is not enough to verify that the CSR provided by the peer to the authenticator is from an authenticated user. The CSR itself should also be examined by the authenticator or Certification Authority (CA) before any certificate is issued. The format of a CSR is complex, and contain a substantial amount of information. That information could be incorrect, such as a user claiming a wrong physical address, email address, etc. Alternatively, the supplied information could contain private data which should not be sent over a TLS 1.2 connection where that data would be exposed. It is RECOMMENDED that systems provisioning these certificates validate that the CSR both contains the expected data, and also that is does not contain unexpected data. For example, a CA could refuse to issue the certificate if the CSR contained unknown fields, or a known field contained an unexpected value. We note that there is no requirement for a CA to sign any and all CSRs which are presented to it. The CA can refuse a particular CSR for any reasons, including local site policy. Once an EAP peer receives the signed certificate, that certificate could potentially be used for in TLS contexts other than TEAP. For example, the certificate could be used with EAP-TLS, or even with HTTPS. It is NOT RECOMMENDED to use certificates provisioned via TEAP with any other protocol which uses TLS. One method of enforcing this restriction is to have different CAs (or different intermediate CAs) which issue certificates for different uses. For example, TLS-based EAP methods could share one CA, and HTTPS servers could use a different CA. The different protocols could therefore be configured to validate client certificates only from their preferred CA. Another method of limiting the uses of a certificate is to provision it with an appropriate value for the Extended Key Usage field [RFC7299]. For example, the id-kp-eapOverLAN [RFC4334] value could be used to indicate that this certificate is intended for use only with EAP. It is difficult to give more detailed recommendations than the above. Each CA or organization may have its own local policy as to what is permitted or forbidden in a certificate. All we can do in this document is to highlight the issues, and make the reader aware that they have to be addressed. DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 28] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 3.11.3. Server Unauthenticated Provisioning Mode In Server Unauthenticated Provisioning Mode, an unauthenticated tunnel is established in Phase 1, and the peer and server negotiate an inner method or methods in Phase 2. This inner method MUST support mutual authentication, provide key derivation, and be resistant to attacks such as man-in-the-middle and dictionary attacks. In most cases, this inner method will be an EAP authentication method. Example inner methods which satisfy these criteria include EAP-pwd [RFC5931] and EAP-EKE [RFC6124], but not EAP-FAST-MSCHAPv2. This provisioning mode enables the bootstrapping of peers when the peer lacks the ability to authenticate the server during Phase 1. This includes both cases in which the cipher suite negotiated does not provide authentication and in which the cipher suite negotiated provides the authentication but the peer is unable to validate the identity of the server for some reason. Upon successful completion of the inner method in Phase 2, the peer and server exchange a Crypto-Binding TLV to bind the inner method with the outer tunnel and ensure that a man-in-the-middle attack has not been attempted. Support for the Server Unauthenticated Provisioning Mode is optional. The cipher suite TLS_DH_anon_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA is RECOMMENDED when using Server Unauthenticated Provisioning Mode, but other anonymous cipher suites MAY be supported as long as the TLS pre-master secret is generated from contribution from both peers. When a strong inner method is not used with Server Unauthenticated Provisioning Mode, it is possible for an attacker to perform a man- in-the-middle attack. In effect, Server Unauthenticated Provisioning Mode has similar security issues as just running the inner method in the open, without the protection of TLS. All of the information in the tunnel should be assumed to be visible to, and modifiable by, an attacker. Implementations SHOULD exchange minimal data in Server Unauthenticated Provisioning Mode. Instead, they should use that mode to set up a secure / authenticated tunnel, and then use that tunnel to perform any needed data exchange. It is RECOMMENDED that client implementations and deployments authenticate TEAP servers if at all possible. Authenticating the server means that a client can be provisioned securely with no chance of an attacker eaves-dropping on the connection. DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 29] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 Note that server unauthenticated provisioning can only use anonymous cipher suites in TLS 1.2 and earlier. These cipher suites have been deprecated in TLS 1.3 ([RFC8446] Section C.5). For TLS 1.3, the server MUST provide a certificate, and the peer performs server unauthenticated provisioning by not validating the certificate chain or any of its contents. 3.11.4. Channel Binding [RFC6677] defines channel bindings for WAP which solve the "lying NAS" and the "lying provider" problems, using a process in which the EAP peer gives information about the characteristics of the service provided by the authenticator to the Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) server protected within the EAP authentication method. This allows the server to verify the authenticator is providing information to the peer that is consistent with the information received from this authenticator as well as the information stored about this authenticator. TEAP supports EAP channel binding using the Channel-Binding TLV defined in Section 4.2.7. If the TEAP server wants to request the channel-binding information from the peer, it sends an empty Channel- Binding TLV to indicate the request. The peer responds to the request by sending a Channel-Binding TLV containing a channel-binding message as defined in [RFC6677]. The server validates the channel- binding message and sends back a Channel-Binding TLV with a result code. If the server didn't initiate the channel-binding request and the peer still wants to send the channel-binding information to the server, it can do that by using the Request-Action TLV along with the Channel-Binding TLV. The peer MUST only send channel-binding information after it has successfully authenticated the server and established the protected tunnel. 4. Message Formats The following sections describe the message formats used in TEAP. The fields are transmitted from left to right in network byte order. 4.1. TEAP Message Format A summary of the TEAP Request/Response packet format is shown below. DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 30] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Code | Identifier | Length | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Type | Flags | Ver | Message Length : +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ : Message Length | Outer TLV Length +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ : Outer TLV Length | TLS Data... +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Outer TLVs... +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Code The Code field is one octet in length and is defined as follows: 1 Request 2 Response Identifier The Identifier field is one octet and aids in matching responses with requests. The Identifier field MUST be changed on each Request packet. The Identifier field in the Response packet MUST match the Identifier field from the corresponding request. Length The Length field is two octets and indicates the length of the EAP packet including the Code, Identifier, Length, Type, Flags, Ver, Message Length, TLS Data, and Outer TLVs fields. Octets outside the range of the Length field should be treated as Data Link Layer padding and should be ignored on reception. Type 55 for TEAP Flags DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 31] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 0 1 2 3 4 +-+-+-+-+-+ |L M S O R| +-+-+-+-+-+ L Length included; set to indicate the presence of the four-octet Message Length field. It MUST be present for the first fragment of a fragmented message. It MUST NOT be present for any other message. M More fragments; set on all but the last fragment. S TEAP start; set in a TEAP Start message sent from the server to the peer. O Outer TLV length included; set to indicate the presence of the four-octet Outer TLV Length field. It MUST be present only in the initial request and response messages. If the initial message is fragmented, then it MUST be present only on the first fragment. R Reserved (MUST be zero and ignored upon receipt) Ver This field contains the version of the protocol. This document describes version 1 (001 in binary) of TEAP. Message Length The Message Length field is four octets and is present only if the L bit is set. This field provides the total length of the message that may be fragmented over the data fields of multiple packets. Outer TLV Length The Outer TLV Length field is four octets and is present only if the O bit is set. This field provides the total length of the Outer TLVs if present. TLS Data When the TLS Data field is present, it consists of an encapsulated TLS packet in TLS record format. A TEAP packet with Flags and Version fields, but with zero length TLS Data field, is used to indicate TEAP acknowledgment for either a fragmented message, a TLS Alert message, or a TLS Finished message. DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 32] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 Outer TLVs The Outer TLVs consist of the optional data used to help establish the TLS tunnel in TLV format. They are only allowed in the first two messages in the TEAP protocol. That is the first EAP-server- to-peer message and first peer-to-EAP-server message. The start of the Outer TLVs can be derived from the EAP Length field and Outer TLV Length field. 4.2. TEAP TLV Format and Support The TLVs defined here are TLV objects. The TLV objects could be used to carry arbitrary parameters between an EAP peer and EAP server within the protected TLS tunnel. The EAP peer may not necessarily implement all the TLVs supported by the EAP server. To allow for interoperability, TLVs are designed to allow an EAP server to discover if a TLV is supported by the EAP peer using the NAK TLV. The mandatory bit in a TLV indicates whether support of the TLV is required. If the peer or server does not support a TLV marked mandatory, then it MUST send a NAK TLV in the response, and all the other TLVs in the message MUST be ignored. If an EAP peer or server finds an unsupported TLV that is marked as optional, it can ignore the unsupported TLV. It MUST NOT send a NAK TLV for a TLV that is not marked mandatory. If all TLVs in a message are marked optional and none are understood by the peer, then a NAK TLV or Result TLV could be sent to the other side in order to continue the conversation. Note that a peer or server may support a TLV with the mandatory bit set but may not understand the contents. The appropriate response to a supported TLV with content that is not understood is defined by the individual TLV specification. EAP implementations compliant with this specification MUST support TLV exchanges as well as the processing of mandatory/optional settings on the TLV. Implementations conforming to this specification MUST support the following TLVs: * Authority-ID TLV * Identity-Type TLV * Result TLV * NAK TLV * Error TLV DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 33] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 * Request-Action TLV * EAP-Payload TLV * Intermediate-Result TLV * Crypto-Binding TLV * Basic-Password-Auth-Req TLV * Basic-Password-Auth-Resp TLV 4.2.1. General TLV Format TLVs are defined as described below. The fields are transmitted from left to right. If a peer or server receives a TLV which is not of the correct format, the TLV MUST be discarded. It is generally useful to log an error or debugging message which indicates which TLV had an issue, and what the problem is. However, TLVs which are malformed are invalid, and cannot be used. 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |M|R| TLV Type | Length | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Value... +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ M 0 Optional TLV 1 Mandatory TLV R Reserved, set to zero (0) TLV Type A 14-bit field, denoting the TLV type.

ID Hint of the identity of the server to help the peer to match the credentials available for the server. It should be unique across the deployment. 4.2.3. Identity-Type TLV The Identity-Type TLV allows an EAP server to send a hint to help the EAP peer select the right type of identity, for example, user or machine. TEAPv1 implementations MUST support this TLV. Only one Identity-Type TLV SHOULD be present in the TEAP request or response packet. The Identity-Type TLV request MUST come with an EAP-Payload TLV or Basic-Password-Auth-Req TLV. If the EAP peer does have an identity corresponding to the identity type requested, then the peer SHOULD respond with an Identity-Type TLV with the requested type. If the Identity-Type field does not contain one of the known values or if the EAP peer does not have an identity corresponding to the identity type requested, then the peer SHOULD respond with an Identity-Type TLV with the one of available identity types. If the server receives an identity type in the response that does not match the requested type, then the peer does not possess the requested credential type, and the server SHOULD proceed with authentication DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 36] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 for the credential type proposed by the peer, proceed with requesting another credential type, or simply apply the network policy based on the configured policy, e.g., sending Result TLV with Failure. The Identity-Type TLV is defined as follows: 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |M|R| TLV Type | Length | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Identity-Type | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ M Mandatory, set to one (1) R Reserved, set to zero (0) TLV Type 2 - Identity-Type TLV Length 2 Identity-Type The Identity-Type field is two octets. Values include: 1 User 2 Machine 4.2.4. Result TLV The Result TLV provides support for acknowledged success and failure messages for protected termination within TEAP. If the Status field does not contain one of the known values, then the peer or EAP server MUST treat this as a fatal error of Unexpected TLVs Exchanged. The behavior of the Result TLV is further discussed in Section 3.6.5 and Section 3.9.3 A Result TLV indicating failure MUST NOT be accompanied by the following TLVs: NAK, EAP-Payload TLV, or Crypto-Binding TLV. The Result TLV is defined as follows: DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 37] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |M|R| TLV Type | Length | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Status | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ M Mandatory, set to one (1) R Reserved, set to zero (0) TLV Type 3 - Result TLV Length 2 Status The Status field is two octets. Values include: 1 Success 2 Failure 4.2.5. NAK TLV The NAK TLV allows a peer to detect TLVs that are not supported by the other peer. A TEAP packet can contain 0 or more NAK TLVs. A NAK TLV should not be accompanied by other TLVs. A NAK TLV MUST NOT be sent in response to a message containing a Result TLV, instead a Result TLV of failure should be sent indicating failure and an Error TLV of Unexpected TLVs Exchanged. The NAK TLV is defined as follows: DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 38] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |M|R| TLV Type | Length | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Vendor-Id | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | NAK-Type | TLVs... +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ M Mandatory, set to one (1) R Reserved, set to zero (0) TLV Type 4 - NAK TLV Length >=6 Vendor-Id The Vendor-Id field is four octets and contains the Vendor-Id of the TLV that was not supported. The high-order octet is 0, and the low-order three octets are the Structure of Management Information (SMI) Network Management Private Enterprise Number of the Vendor in network byte order. The Vendor-Id field MUST be zero for TLVs that are not Vendor-Specific TLVs. NAK-Type The NAK-Type field is two octets. The field contains the type of the TLV that was not supported. A TLV of this type MUST have been included in the previous packet. TLVs This field contains a list of zero or more TLVs, each of which MUST NOT have the mandatory bit set. These optional TLVs are for future extensibility to communicate why the offending TLV was determined to be unsupported. DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 39] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 4.2.6. Error TLV The Error TLV allows an EAP peer or server to indicate errors to the other party. A TEAP packet can contain 0 or more Error TLVs. The Error-Code field describes the type of error. Error codes 1-999 represent successful outcomes (informative messages), 1000-1999 represent warnings, and 2000-2999 represent fatal errors. A fatal Error TLV MUST be accompanied by a Result TLV indicating failure, and the conversation is terminated as described in Section 3.9.3. Many of the error codes below refer to errors in inner method processing that may be retrieved if made available by the inner method. Implementations MUST take care that error messages do not reveal too much information to an attacker. For example, the usage of error message 1031 (User account credentials incorrect) is NOT RECOMMENDED, because it allows an attacker to determine valid usernames by differentiating this response from other responses. It should only be used for troubleshooting purposes. The Error TLV is defined as follows: 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |M|R| TLV Type | Length | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Error-Code | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ M Mandatory, set to one (1) R Reserved, set to zero (0) TLV Type 5 - Error TLV Length 4 Error-Code DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 40] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 The Error-Code field is four octets.

Channel-Binding TLV The Channel-Binding TLV provides a mechanism for carrying channel- binding data from the peer to the EAP server and a channel-binding response from the EAP server to the peer as described in [RFC6677]. TEAPv1 implementations MAY support this TLV, which cannot be responded to with a NAK TLV. If the Channel-Binding data field does not contain one of the known values or if the EAP server does not support this TLV, then the server MUST ignore the value. The Channel-Binding TLV is defined as follows: DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 42] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |M|R| TLV Type | Length | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Data ... +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ M 0 - Optional TLV R Reserved, set to zero (0) TLV Type 6 - Channel-Binding TLV Length variable Data The data field contains a channel-binding message as defined in Section 5.3 of [RFC6677]. 4.2.8. Vendor-Specific TLV The Vendor-Specific TLV is available to allow vendors to support their own extended attributes not suitable for general usage. A Vendor-Specific TLV attribute can contain one or more TLVs, referred to as Vendor TLVs. The TLV type of a particular Vendor TLV is defined by the vendor. All the Vendor TLVs inside a single Vendor- Specific TLV belong to the same vendor. There can be multiple Vendor-Specific TLVs from different vendors in the same message. Error handling in the Vendor TLV could use the vendor's own specific error-handling mechanism or use the standard TEAP error codes defined. Vendor TLVs may be optional or mandatory. Vendor TLVs sent with Result TLVs MUST be marked as optional. If the Vendor-Specific TLV is marked as mandatory, then it is expected that the receiving side needs to recognize the vendor ID, parse all Vendor TLVs within, and deal with error handling within the Vendor-Specific TLV as defined by the vendor. DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 43] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 Where a Vendor-Specific TLV carries an authentication protocol in the inner method, it MUST define values for MSK and EMSK. Where these values cannot be derived from cryptographic primitives, they MUST be set to zero, as happens when Basic-Password-Auth-Req is used. The Vendor-Specific TLV is defined as follows: 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |M|R| TLV Type | Length | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Vendor-Id | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Vendor TLVs.... +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ M 0 or 1 R Reserved, set to zero (0) TLV Type 7 - Vendor-Specific TLV Length 4 + cumulative length of all included Vendor TLVs Vendor-Id The Vendor-Id field is four octets and contains the Vendor-Id of the TLV. The high-order octet is 0, and the low-order 3 octets are the SMI Network Management Private Enterprise Number of the Vendor in network byte order. Vendor TLVs This field is of indefinite length. It contains Vendor-Specific TLVs, in a format defined by the vendor. DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 44] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 4.2.9. Request-Action TLV The Request-Action TLV MAY be sent at any time. The Request-Action TLV allows the peer or server to request that other side negotiates additional inner methods or process TLVs which are passed inside of the Request-Action TLV. The receiving side MUST process this TLV. The processing for the TLV is as follows: The receiving entity MAY choose to process any of the TLVs that are included in the message. If the receiving entity chooses NOT to process any TLV in the list, then it sends back a Result TLV with the same code in the Status field of the Request-Action TLV. If multiple Request-Action TLVs are in the request, the session can continue if any of the TLVs in any Request-Action TLV are processed. If multiple Request-Action TLVs are in the request and none of them is processed, then the most fatal status should be used in the Result TLV returned. If a status code in the Request-Action TLV is not understood by the receiving entity, then it should be treated as a fatal error. After processing the TLVs or inner method in the request, another round of Result TLV exchange would occur to synchronize the final status on both sides. The peer or the server MAY send multiple Request-Action TLVs to the other side. Two Request-Action TLVs MUST NOT occur in the same TEAP packet if they have the same Status value. The order of processing multiple Request-Action TLVs is implementation dependent. If the receiving side processes the optional (non-fatal) items first, it is possible that the fatal items will disappear at a later time. If the receiving side processes the fatal items first, the communication time will be shorter. The peer or the server MAY return a new set of Request-Action TLVs after one or more of the requested items has been processed and the other side has signaled it wants to end the EAP conversation. The Request-Action TLV is defined as follows: DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 45] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |M|R| TLV Type | Length | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Status | Action | TLVs.... +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+--+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- M Mandatory, set to one (1) R Reserved, set to zero (0) TLV Type 8 - Request-Action TLV Length 2 + cumulative length of all included TLVs Status The Status field is one octet. This indicates the result if the party who receives this TLV does not process the action. Values include: 1 Success 2 Failure Action The Action field is one octet. Values include: 1 Process-TLV 2 Negotiate-EAP TLVs This field is of indefinite length. It contains TLVs that the peer wants the server to process. DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 46] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 4.2.10. EAP-Payload TLV To allow piggybacking an EAP request or response with other TLVs, the EAP-Payload TLV is defined, which includes an encapsulated EAP packet and a list of optional TLVs. The optional TLVs are provided for future extensibility to provide hints about the current EAP authentication. Only one EAP-Payload TLV is allowed in a message. The EAP-Payload TLV is defined as follows: 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |M|R| TLV Type | Length | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | EAP packet... +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | TLVs... +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ M Mandatory, set to one (1) R Reserved, set to zero (0) TLV Type 9 - EAP-Payload TLV Length length of embedded EAP packet + cumulative length of additional TLVs EAP packet This field contains a complete EAP packet, including the EAP header (Code, Identifier, Length, Type) fields. The length of this field is determined by the Length field of the encapsulated EAP packet. TLVs DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 47] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 This (optional) field contains a list of TLVs associated with the EAP packet field. The TLVs MUST NOT have the mandatory bit set. The total length of this field is equal to the Length field of the EAP-Payload TLV, minus the Length field in the EAP header of the EAP packet field. 4.2.11. Intermediate-Result TLV The Intermediate-Result TLV signals intermediate Success and Failure messages for all inner methods. The Intermediate-Result TLV MUST be be used for all inner methods. An Intermediate-Result TLV indicating Success MUST be accompanied by a Crypto-Binding TLV. An Intermediate-Result TLV indicating Failure SHOULD be accompanied by an Error TLV which indicates why the authentication failed. The optional TLVs associated with this TLV are provided for future extensibility to provide hints about the current result. The Intermediate-Result TLV is defined as follows: 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |M|R| TLV Type | Length | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Status | TLVs... +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ M Mandatory, set to one (1) R Reserved, set to zero (0) TLV Type 10 - Intermediate-Result TLV Length 2 + cumulative length of the embedded associated TLVs Status DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 48] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 The Status field is two octets. Values include: 1 Success 2 Failure TLVs This field is of indeterminate length and contains zero or more of the TLVs associated with the Intermediate Result TLV. The TLVs in this field MUST NOT have the mandatory bit set. 4.2.12. PAC TLV [RFC7170] defined a Protected Access Credential (PAC) to mirror EAP- FAST [RFC4851]. However, implementation experience and analysis determined that the PAC was not necessary. Instead, TEAP performs session resumption using the NewSessionTicket message as defined in [RFC9190] Section 2.1.2 and Section 2.1.3. As such, the PAC TLV been removed from this document. 4.2.13. Crypto-Binding TLV The Crypto-Binding TLV is used to prove that both the peer and server participated in the tunnel establishment and sequence of authentications. It also provides verification of the TEAP type, version negotiated, and Outer TLVs exchanged before the TLS tunnel establishment. The Crypto-Binding TLV MUST be exchanged and validated before any Intermediate-Result or Result TLV value is examined, regardless of whether there is an inner method or not. It MUST be included with the Intermediate-Result TLV to perform cryptographic binding after each successful inner method in a sequence of inner methods, before proceeding with another inner method. If no MSK or EMSK has been generated and a Crypto-Binding TLV is required then the MSK Compound MAC field contains the MAC using keys generated according to Section 5.3. The Crypto-Binding TLV is valid only if the following checks pass: * The Crypto-Binding TLV version is supported. * The MAC verifies correctly. * The received version in the Crypto-Binding TLV matches the version sent by the receiver during the EAP version negotiation. DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 49] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 * The subtype is set to the correct value. If any of the above checks fails, then the TLV is invalid. An invalid Crypto-Binding TLV is a fatal error and is handled as described in Section 3.9.3 The Crypto-Binding TLV is defined as follows: 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |M|R| TLV Type | Length | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Reserved | Version | Received Ver.| Flags|Sub-Type| +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | | ~ Nonce ~ | | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | | ~ EMSK Compound MAC ~ | | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | | ~ MSK Compound MAC ~ | | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ M Mandatory, set to one (1) R Reserved, set to zero (0) TLV Type 12 - Crypto-Binding TLV Length 76 Reserved Reserved, set to zero (0) DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 50] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 Version The Version field is a single octet, which is set to the version of Crypto-Binding TLV the TEAP method is using. For an implementation compliant with this version of TEAP, the version number MUST be set to one (1). Received Ver The Received Ver field is a single octet and MUST be set to the TEAP version number received during version negotiation. Note that this field only provides protection against downgrade attacks, where a version of EAP requiring support for this TLV is required on both sides. Flags The Flags field is four bits. Defined values include 1 EMSK Compound MAC is present 2 MSK Compound MAC is present 3 Both EMSK and MSK Compound MAC are present Sub-Type The Sub-Type field is four bits. Defined values include 0 Binding Request < 1 Binding Response Nonce The Nonce field is 32 octets. It contains a 256-bit nonce that is temporally unique, used for Compound MAC key derivation at each end. The nonce in a request MUST have its least significant bit set to zero (0), and the nonce in a response MUST have the same value as the request nonce except the least significant bit MUST be set to one (1). EMSK Compound MAC The EMSK Compound MAC field is 20 octets. This can be the Server MAC (B1_MAC) or the Client MAC (B2_MAC). The computation of the MAC is described in Section 5.3. DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 51] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 Note that this field is always 20 octets in length. Any larger MAC is simply truncated. All validations or comparisons MUST be done on the truncated value. MSK Compound MAC The MSK Compound MAC field is 20 octets. This can be the Server MAC (B1_MAC) or the Client MAC (B2_MAC). The computation of the MAC is described in Section 5.3. Note that this field is always 20 octets in length. Any larger MAC is simply truncated. All validations or comparisons MUST be done on the truncated value. 4.2.14. Basic-Password-Auth-Req TLV The Basic-Password-Auth-Req TLV is used by the authentication server to request a username and password from the peer. It contains an optional user prompt message for the request. The peer is expected to obtain the username and password and send them in a Basic- Password-Auth-Resp TLV. The Basic-Password-Auth-Req TLV is defined as follows: 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |M|R| TLV Type | Length | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Prompt .... +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ M Mandatory, set to one (1) R Reserved, set to zero (0) TLV Type 13 - Basic-Password-Auth-Req TLV Length variable DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 52] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 Prompt optional user prompt message in UTF-8 [RFC3629] format 4.2.15. Basic-Password-Auth-Resp TLV The Basic-Password-Auth-Resp TLV is used by the peer to respond to a Basic-Password-Auth-Req TLV with a username and password. The TLV contains a username and password. The username and password are in UTF-8 [RFC3629] format. The Basic-Password-Auth-Resp TLV is defined as follows: 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |M|R| TLV Type | Length | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Userlen | Username +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ ...

DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 53] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 Username Username in UTF-8 [RFC3629] format The content of Username SHOULD follow the guidelines set in [RFC9427] Section 3.1. Passlen Length of Password field in octets The value of Passlen MUST NOT be zero. Password Password in UTF-8 [RFC3629] format Note that there is no requirement that passwords be humanly readable. Octets in a passwords may have values less than 0x20, including 0x00. 4.2.16. PKCS#7 TLV The PKCS#7 TLV is used by the EAP server to deliver certificate(s) to the peer. The format consists of a certificate or certificate chain in binary DER encoding [X.690] in a degenerate Certificates Only PKCS#7 SignedData Content as defined in [RFC5652]. When used in response to a Trusted-Server-Root TLV request from the peer, the EAP server MUST send the PKCS#7 TLV inside a Trusted- Server-Root TLV. When used in response to a PKCS#10 certificate enrollment request from the peer, the EAP server MUST send the PKCS#7 TLV without a Trusted-Server-Root TLV. The PKCS#7 TLV is always marked as optional, which cannot be responded to with a NAK TLV. TEAP implementations that support the Trusted-Server-Root TLV or the PKCS#10 TLV MUST support this TLV. Peers MUST NOT assume that the certificates in a PKCS#7 TLV are in any order. TEAP servers MAY return self-signed certificates. Peers that handle self-signed certificates or trust anchors MUST NOT implicitly trust these certificates merely due to their presence in the certificate bag. Note: Peers are advised to take great care in deciding whether to use a received certificate as a trust anchor. The authenticated nature of the tunnel in which a PKCS#7 bag is received can provide a level of authenticity to the certificates contained therein. Peers are advised to take into account the implied authority of the EAP server and to constrain the trust it can achieve through the trust anchor received in a PKCS#7 TLV. DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 54] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 The PKCS#7 TLV is defined as follows: 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |M|R| TLV Type | Length | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | PKCS#7 Data... +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-++-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- M 0 - Optional TLV R Reserved, set to zero (0) TLV Type 15 - PKCS#7 TLV Length The length of the PKCS#7 Data field. PKCS#7 Data This field contains the DER-encoded X.509 certificate or certificate chain in a Certificates-Only PKCS#7 SignedData message. 4.2.17. PKCS#10 TLV The PKCS#10 TLV is used by the peer to initiate the "simple PKI" Request/Response from [RFC5272]. The format of the request is as specified in Section 6.4 of [RFC4945]. The PKCS#10 TLV is always marked as optional, which cannot be responded to with a NAK TLV. The PKCS#10 TLV is defined as follows: 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |M|R| TLV Type | Length | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | PKCS#10 Data... +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-++-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 55] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 M 0 - Optional TLV R Reserved, set to zero (0) TLV Type 16 - PKCS#10 TLV Length The length of the PKCS#10 Data field. PKCS#10 Data This field contains the DER-encoded PKCS#10 certificate request. 4.2.18. Trusted-Server-Root TLV Trusted-Server-Root TLV facilitates the request and delivery of a trusted server root certificate. The Trusted-Server-Root TLV can be exchanged in regular TEAP authentication mode or provisioning mode. The Trusted-Server-Root TLV is always marked as optional and cannot be responded to with a Negative Acknowledgment (NAK) TLV. The Trusted-Server-Root TLV MUST only be sent as an Inner TLV (inside the protection of the tunnel). After the peer has determined that it has successfully authenticated the EAP server and validated the Crypto-Binding TLV, it MAY send one or more Trusted-Server-Root TLVs (marked as optional) to request the trusted server root certificates from the EAP server. The EAP server MAY send one or more root certificates with a Public Key Cryptographic System #7 (PKCS#7) TLV inside the Trusted-Server-Root TLV. The EAP server MAY also choose not to honor the request. The Trusted-Server-Root TLV allows the peer to send a request to the EAP server for a list of trusted roots. The server may respond with one or more root certificates in PKCS#7 [RFC2315] format. If the EAP server sets the credential format to PKCS#7-Server- Certificate-Root, then the Trusted-Server-Root TLV should contain the root of the certificate chain of the certificate issued to the EAP server packaged in a PKCS#7 TLV. If the server certificate is a self-signed certificate, then the root is the self-signed certificate. DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 56] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 If the Trusted-Server-Root TLV credential format contains a value unknown to the peer, then the EAP peer should ignore the TLV. The Trusted-Server-Root TLV is defined as follows: 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |M|R| TLV Type | Length | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Credential-Format | Cred TLVs... +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-++-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- M 0 - Optional TLV R Reserved, set to zero (0) TLV Type 17 - Trusted-Server-Root TLV Length >=2 octets Credential-Format The Credential-Format field is two octets. Values include: 1 - PKCS#7-Server-Certificate-Root Cred TLVs This field is of indefinite length. It contains TLVs associated with the credential format. The peer may leave this field empty when using this TLV to request server trust roots. DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 57] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 4.2.19. CSR-Attributes TLV The CSR-Attributes TLV provides information from the server to the peer on how certificate signing requests should be formed. The purpose of CSR attributes is described in Section 4.5 of [RFC7030]. Servers MAY send the CSR-Attributes TLV directly after the TLS session has been established. A server MAY also send in the same message a Request Action frame for a PKCS#10 TLV. This is an indication to the peer that the server would like the peer to renew its certificate using the parameters provided in this TLV. Servers shall construct the contents of the CSR-Attributes TLV as specified in [RFC7030] Section 4.5.2 with the exception that the DER encoding MUST NOT be encoded in base64. The base64 encoding in used in [RFC7030] because the transport protocol used there requires textual encoding. In contrast, TEAP attributes can transport arbitrary binary data. Servers and peers MUST follow the guidance provided in [I-D.ietf-lamps-rfc7030-csrattrs] when creating the CSR-Attributes TLV. Peers MAY ignore the contents of the TLV if they are unable to do so, but then servers may not process PKCS#10 certificate requests for this or any other reason. The CSR-Attributes TLV is defined as follows: 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |M|R| TLV Type | Length | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | DER Encoded CSR Attributes | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-++-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- M 0 - Optional TLV R Reserved, set to zero (0) TLV Type 18 - CSR-Attributes Length >=2 octets DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 58] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 4.2.20. Identity-Hint TLV The Identity-Hint TLV is an optional TLV which can sent by the peer to the server at the beginning of the Phase 2 TEAP conversation. The purpose of the TLV is to provide a "hint" as to the identity or identities which the peer will be using by subsequent inner methods. The purpose of this TLV is to solve the "bootstrapping" problem for the server. In order to perform authentication, the server must choose an inner method. However, the server has no knowledge of what methods are supported by the peer. Without an identity hint, the server needs to propose a method, and then have the peer return a response indicating that the requested method is not available. This negotiation increases the number of round trips required for TEAP to conclude, with no additional benefit. When the Identity-Hint is use, the peer can signal which identities it has available, which enables the server to choose an inner method which is appropriate for that identity. The peer SHOULD send an Identity-Hint TLV for each Identity-Type which is available to it. For example, if the peer can do both Machine and User authentication, it can send two Identity-Hint TLVs, with values "host/name.example.com" (for a machine with hostname "name.example.com"), and "user@example.com" (for a person with identity "user@example.com"). The contents of the Identity-Hint TLV SHOULD be in the format of an NAI [RFC7542], but we note that as given in the example above, Machine identities might not follow that format. As these identities are never used for AAA routing as discussed in [RFC7542] Section 3, the format and definition of these identities is entirely site local. Robust implementations MUST support arbitrary data in the content of this TLV, including binary octets. As the Identity-Hint TLV is a "hint", server implementations are free to ignore the hints given, and do whatever is required by site-local policies. The Identity-Hint TLV is used only as a guide to selecting which inner methods to use. This TLV has no other meaning, and it MUST NOT be used for any other purpose. Specifically. server implementations MUST NOT compare the identities given this TLV to later identities given as part of the inner methods. There is no issue with the hint(s) failing to match any subsequent identity which is used. The Identity-Hint TLV is defined as follows: DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 59] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |M|R| TLV Type | Length | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Identity Hint | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-++-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- M 0 - Optional TLV R Reserved, set to zero (0) TLV Type 19 - Identity-Hint Length >=2 octets 4.3. TLV Rules To save round trips, multiple TLVs can be sent in a single TEAP packet. However, multiple EAP Payload TLVs, multiple Basic Password Authentication TLVs, or an EAP Payload TLV with a Basic Password Authentication TLV within one single TEAP packet is not supported in this version and MUST NOT be sent. If the peer or EAP server receives multiple EAP Payload TLVs, then it MUST terminate the connection with the Result TLV. The order in which TLVs are encoded in a TEAP packet does not matter, however there is an order in which TLVs in a packet must be processed: 1. Crypto-Binding TLV 2. Intermediate-Result TLV 3. Result TLV or Request-Action TLV 4. Identity-Type TLV 5. EAP-Payload TLV[Identity-Request] or Basic-Password-Auth-Req TLV 6. Other TLVs DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 60] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 That is, cryptographic binding is checked before any result is used, and identities are checked before proposing an inner method, as the identity may influence the chosen inner method. The following define the meaning of the table entries in the sections below: 0 This TLV MUST NOT be present in the message. 0+ Zero or more instances of this TLV MAY be present in the message. 0-1 Zero or one instance of this TLV MAY be present in the message. 1 Exactly one instance of this TLV MUST be present in the message. 4.3.1. Outer TLVs The following table provides a guide to which TLVs may be included in the TEAP packet outside the TLS channel, which kind of packets, and in what quantity: Request Response Success Failure TLVs 0-1 0 0 0 Authority-ID 0-1 0-1 0 0 Identity-Type 0+ 0+ 0 0 Vendor-Specific Outer TLVs MUST be marked as optional. Vendor TLVs inside of a Vendor-Specific TLV MUST be marked as optional when included in Outer TLVs. Outer TLVs MUST NOT be included in messages after the first two TEAP messages sent by peer and EAP-server respectively. That is the first EAP-server-to-peer message and first peer-to-EAP-server message. If the message is fragmented, the whole set of messages is counted as one message. If Outer TLVs are included in messages after the first two TEAP messages, they MUST be ignored. 4.3.2. Inner TLVs The following table provides a guide to which Inner TLVs may be encapsulated in TLS in TEAP Phase 2, in which kind of packets, and in what quantity. The messages are as follows: Request is a TEAP Request, Response is a TEAP Response, Success is a message containing a successful Result TLV, and Failure is a message containing a failed Result TLV. DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 61] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 Request Response Success Failure TLVs 0-1 0-1 0 0 Identity-Type 0-1 0-1 1 1 Result 0+ 0+ 0 0 NAK 0+ 0+ 0+ 0+ Error 0-1 0-1 0 0 Channel-Binding 0+ 0+ 0+ 0+ Vendor-Specific 0+ 0+ 0+ 0+ Request-Action 0-1 0-1 0 0 EAP-Payload 0-1 0-1 0-1 0-1 Intermediate-Result 0-1 0-1 0-1 0-1 Crypto-Binding 0-1 0 0 0 Basic-Password-Auth-Req 0 0-1 0 0 Basic-Password-Auth-Resp 0-1 0 0-1 0 PKCS#7 0 0-1 0 0 PKCS#10 0-1 0-1 0-1 0 Trusted-Server-Root 0-1 0 0 0 CSR-Attributes TLV 0 0+ 0 0 Identity-Hint TLV NOTE: Vendor TLVs (included in Vendor-Specific TLVs) sent with a Result TLV MUST be marked as optional. Also, the CSR-Attributes TLV is never transmitted by the peer, and so is treated as a request in this table. 5. Cryptographic Calculations For key derivation and crypto-binding, TEAP uses the Pseudorandom Function (PRF) and MAC algorithms negotiated in the underlying TLS session. Since these algorithms depend on the TLS version and cipher suite, TEAP implementations need a mechanism to determine the version and cipher suite in use for a particular session. The implementation can then use this information to determine which PRF and MAC algorithm to use. 5.1. TEAP Authentication Phase 1: Key Derivations With TEAPv1, the TLS master secret is generated as specified in TLS. If session resumption is used, then the master secret is obtained as described in [RFC5077]. TEAPv1 makes use of the TLS Keying Material Exporters defined in [RFC5705] to derive the session_key_seed as follows: session_key_seed = TLS-Exporter( "EXPORTER: teap session key seed",, 40) No context data is used in the export process. DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 62] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 The session_key_seed is used by the TEAP authentication Phase 2 conversation to both cryptographically bind the inner method(s) to the tunnel as well as generate the resulting TEAP session keys. The other TLS keying materials are derived and used as defined in [RFC5246]. 5.2. Intermediate Compound Key Derivations The session_key_seed derived as part of TEAP Phase 2 is used in TEAP Phase 2 to generate an Intermediate Compound Key (IMCK) used to verify the integrity of the TLS tunnel after each successful inner authentication and in the generation of Master Session Key (MSK) and Extended Master Session Key (EMSK) defined in [RFC3748]. Note that the IMCK MUST be recalculated after each successful inner method. The first step in these calculations is the generation of the base compound key, IMCK[j] from the session_key_seed, and any session keys derived from the successful execution of j'th inner methods. The inner method(s) MUST provide Inner Method Session Keys (IMSKs), IMSK[1]..IMSK[n], corresponding to inner method 1 through n. When a particular inner method does not provide key material (such as with password exchange) then a special "all zero" IMSK is used as described below. If an inner method supports export of an Extended Master Session Key (EMSK), then the IMSK SHOULD be derived from the EMSK as defined in [RFC5295]. The optional data parameter is not used in the derivation. IMSK[j] = First 32 octets of TLS-PRF( EMSK[j], "TEAPbindkey@ietf.org", 0x00 | 0x00 | 0x40) where "|" denotes concatenation and the TLS-PRF is defined in [RFC5246] as: PRF(secret, label, seed) = P_(secret, label | seed) The secret is the EMSK from the j'th inner method, the usage label used is "TEAPbindkey@ietf.org" consisting of the ASCII value for the label "TEAPbindkey@ietf.org" (without quotes), the seed consists of the "\0" null delimiter (0x00) and 2-octet unsigned integer length of 64 octets in network byte order (0x00 | 0x40) specified in [RFC5295]. DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 63] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 If an inner method does not support export of an Extended Master Session Key (EMSK), then the IMSK is derived from the MSK of the inner method. The MSK is truncated at 32 octets if it is longer than 32 octets or padded to a length of 32 octets with zeros if it is less than 32 octets. In this case, IMSK[j] is the adjusted MSK. An inner method may not provider either EMSK or MSK, such as when basic password authentication is used or when no inner method has been run and the crypto-binding TLV for the Result TLV needs to be generated. In this case, IMSK[j] is set to all zeroes (i.e., IMSK[j] = MSK = 32 octets of 0x00s). Note that using a MSK of all zeroes opens up TEAP to man-in-the- middle attacks, as discussed below in {#separation-p1-p2}. It is therefore NOT RECOMMENDED to use inner methods which fail to generate an EMSK or MSK. These methods should only be used in conjunction with another inner method which does provide for EMSK or MSK generation. It is also RECOMMENDED that TEAP peers order authentication such that methods which generate EMSKs are performed before methods which do not generate EMSKs. For example, Phase 2 could perform both Machine authentication using EAP-TLS, followed by User authentication via the Basic Password Authentication TLVs. In that case, the use of EAP-TLS would allow an attacker to be detected before the User password was sent. However, it is possible that the peer and server sides might not have the same capability to export EMSK. In order to maintain maximum flexibility while prevent downgrading attack, the following mechanism is in place. On the sender of the Crypto-Binding TLV side: If the EMSK is not available, then the sender computes the Compound MAC using the MSK of the inner method. If the EMSK is available and the sender's policy accepts MSK-based MAC, then the sender computes two Compound MAC values. The first is computed with the EMSK. The second one is computed using the MSK. Both MACs are then sent to the other side. If the EMSK is available but the sender's policy does not allow downgrading to MSK-generated MAC, then the sender SHOULD only send EMSK-based MAC. On the receiver of the Crypto-Binding TLV side: DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 64] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 If the EMSK is not available and an MSK-based Compound MAC was sent, then the receiver validates the Compound MAC and sends back an MSK-based Compound MAC response. If the EMSK is not available and no MSK-based Compound MAC was sent, then the receiver handles like an invalid Crypto-Binding TLV with a fatal error. If the EMSK is available and an EMSK-based Compound MAC was sent, then the receiver validates it and creates a response Compound MAC using the EMSK. If the EMSK is available but no EMSK-based Compound MAC was sent and its policy accepts MSK-based MAC, then the receiver validates it using the MSK and, if successful, generates and returns an MSK- based Compound MAC. If the EMSK is available but no EMSK Compound MAC was sent and its policy does not accept MSK-based MAC, then the receiver handles like an invalid Crypto-Binding TLV with a fatal error. If an inner method results in failure, then it is not included in this calculation. The derivation of S-IMCK is as follows: S-IMCK[0] = session_key_seed For j = 1 to n-1 do IMCK[j] = the first 60 octets of TLS-PRF(S-IMCK[j-1], "Inner Methods Compound Keys", IMSK[j]) S-IMCK[j] = first 40 octets of IMCK[j] CMK[j] = last 20 octets of IMCK[j] where TLS-PRF is the PRF described above negotiated as part of TLS handshake [RFC5246]. The value j refers to a corresponding inner method 1 through n. The special value of S-IMCK[0] is used to bootstrap the calculations, and can be done as soon as the TLS connection is established, and before any inner methods are run. In practice, the requirement to use either MSK or EMSK means that an implement MUST track two independent derivations of IMCK[j], one which depends on the MSK, and another which depends on EMSK. That is, we have both values derived from MSK: IMSK_MSK[j] S-IMCK_MSK[j] CMK_MSK[j] DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 65] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 and then also values derived from EMSK: IMSK_EMSK[j] S-IMCK_EMSK[j] CMK_EMSK[j] 5.3. Computing the Compound MAC For inner methods that generate keying material, further protection against man-in-the-middle attacks is provided through cryptographically binding keying material established by both TEAP Phase 1 and TEAP Phase 2 conversations. After each successful inner EAP authentication, EAP EMSK and/or MSKs are cryptographically combined with key material from TEAP Phase 1 to generate a Compound Session Key (CMK). The CMK is used to calculate the Compound MAC as part of the Crypto-Binding TLV described in Section 4.2.13, which helps provide assurance that the same entities are involved in all communications in TEAP. During the calculation of the Compound MAC, the MAC field is filled with zeros. The Compound MAC computation is as follows: Compound-MAC = the first 20 octets of MAC( CMK[n], BUFFER ) where n is the number of the last successfully executed inner method, MAC is the MAC function negotiated in TLS (e.g. TLS 1.2 in [RFC5246]), and BUFFER is created after concatenating these fields in the following order: 1. The entire Crypto-Binding TLV attribute with both the EMSK and MSK Compound MAC fields zeroed out. 2. The EAP Type sent by the other party in the first TEAP message, which MUST be TEAP, encoded as one octet of 0x37. 3. All the Outer TLVs from the first TEAP message sent by EAP server to peer. If a single TEAP message is fragmented into multiple TEAP packets, then the Outer TLVs in all the fragments of that message MUST be included. 4. All the Outer TLVs from the first TEAP message sent by the peer to the EAP server. If a single TEAP message is fragmented into multiple TEAP packets, then the Outer TLVs in all the fragments of that message MUST be included. is run then no EMSK or MSK will be generated. If an IMSK needs to be generated then the MSK and therefore the IMSK is set to all zeroes (i.e., IMSK = MSK = 32 octets of 0x00s). DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 66] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 5.4. EAP Master Session Key Generation TEAP authentication assures the Master Session Key (MSK) and Extended Master Session Key (EMSK) output from running TEAP are the combined result of all inner methods by generating an Intermediate Compound Key (IMCK). The IMCK is mutually derived by the peer and the server as described in Section 5.2 by combining the MSKs from inner methods with key material from TEAP Phase 1. The resulting MSK and EMSK are generated from the final ("n"th) inner method, as part of the IMCK[n] key hierarchy via the following derivation: MSK = the first 64 octets of TLS-PRF(S-IMCK[n], "Session Key Generating Function") EMSK = the first 64 octets of TLS-PRF(S-IMCK[n], "Extended Session Key Generating Function") The TLS-PRF is defined in [RFC5246] as PRF(secret, label, seed) = P_(secret, label | seed). where "|" denotes concatenation. The secret is S-IMCK[n] where n is the number of the last generated S-IMCK[j] from Section 5.2. The label is is the ASCII value for the string without quotes. The seed is empty (0 length) and is omitted from the derivation. The EMSK is typically only known to the TEAP peer and server and is not provided to a third party. The derivation of additional keys and transportation of these keys to a third party are outside the scope of this document. If no inner method has created an EMSK or MSK, the MSK and EMSK will be generated directly from the session_key_seed meaning S-IMCK[0] = session_key_seed. As we noted above, not all inner methods generate both MSK and EMSK, so we have to maintain two independent derivations of S-IMCK[j], one for each of MSK[j] and EMSK[j]. The final derivation using S-IMCK[n] must choose only one of these keys. If the Crypto-Binding TLV contains an EMSK compound MAC, then the derivation is taken from the S_IMCK_EMSK[n]. Otherwise it is taken from the S_IMCK_MSK[n]. 6. IANA Considerations This section provides guidance to the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) regarding registration of values related to the TEAP protocol, in accordance with BCP 26 [RFC5226].

Security Considerations TEAP is designed with a focus on wireless media, where the medium itself is inherent to eavesdropping. Whereas in wired media an attacker would have to gain physical access to the wired medium, wireless media enables anyone to capture information as it is transmitted over the air, enabling passive attacks. Thus, physical security can not be assumed, and security vulnerabilities are far greater. The threat model used for the security evaluation of TEAP is defined in EAP [RFC3748]. 7.1. Mutual Authentication and Integrity Protection As a whole, TEAP provides message and integrity protection by establishing a secure tunnel for protecting the inner method(s). The confidentiality and integrity protection is defined by TLS and provides the same security strengths afforded by TLS employing a strong entropy shared master secret. The integrity of the key generating inner methods executed within the TEAP tunnel is verified through the calculation of the Crypto-Binding TLV. This ensures that the tunnel endpoints are the same as the inner method endpoints. 7.2. Method Negotiation As is true for any negotiated EAP protocol, EAP NAK message used to suggest an alternate EAP authentication method are sent unprotected and, as such, are subject to spoofing. During unprotected EAP method negotiation, NAK packets may be interjected as active attacks to bid- down to a weaker form of authentication, such as EAP-MD5 (which only provides one-way authentication and does not derive a key). Both the peer and server should have a method selection policy that prevents them from negotiating down to weaker methods. Inner method negotiation resists attacks because it is protected by the mutually authenticated TLS tunnel established. Selection of TEAP as an authentication method does not limit the potential inner methods, so TEAP should be selected when available. DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 69] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 An attacker cannot readily determine the inner method used, except perhaps by traffic analysis. It is also important that peer implementations limit the use of credentials with an unauthenticated or unauthorized server. 7.3. Separation of Phase 1 and Phase 2 Servers Separation of the TEAP Phase 1 from the Phase 2 conversation is NOT RECOMMENDED. Allowing the Phase 1 conversation to be terminated at a different server than the Phase 2 conversation can introduce vulnerabilities if there is not a proper trust relationship and protection for the protocol between the two servers. Some vulnerabilities include: * Loss of identity protection * Offline dictionary attacks * Lack of policy enforcement * on-path active attacks (as described in [RFC7029]) There may be cases where a trust relationship exists between the Phase 1 and Phase 2 servers, such as on a campus or between two offices within the same company, where there is no danger in revealing the inner identity and credentials of the peer to entities between the two servers. In these cases, using a proxy solution without end-to-end protection of TEAP MAY be used. The TEAP encrypting/decrypting gateway MUST, at a minimum, provide support for IPsec, TLS, or similar protection in order to provide confidentiality for the portion of the conversation between the gateway and the EAP server. In addition, separation of the TEAP server and Inner servers allows for crypto-binding based on the inner method MSK to be thwarted as described in [RFC7029]. If the inner method derives an EMSK, then this threat is mitigated as TEAP uses the Crypto-Binding TLV tie the inner EMSK to the TLS session via the TLS-PRF, as described above in Section 5. On the other hand, if the inner method is not deriving EMSK as with password authentication or unauthenticated provisioning, then this threat still exists. Implementations therefore need to limit the use of inner methods as discussed above in Section 3.6.4 7.4. Mitigation of Known Vulnerabilities and Protocol Deficiencies TEAP addresses the known deficiencies and weaknesses in some EAP authentication methods. By employing a shared secret between the peer and server to establish a secured tunnel, TEAP enables: DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 70] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 * Per-packet confidentiality and integrity protection * User identity protection * Better support for notification messages * Protected inner method negotiation, including EAP method * Sequencing of inner methods, including EAP methods * Strong mutually derived MSKs * Acknowledged success/failure indication * Faster re-authentications through session resumption * Mitigation of offline dictionary attacks * Mitigation of man-in-the-middle attacks * Mitigation of some denial-of-service attacks It should be noted that in TEAP, as in many other authentication protocols, a denial-of-service attack can be mounted by adversaries sending erroneous traffic to disrupt the protocol. This is a problem in many authentication or key agreement protocols and is therefore noted for TEAP as well. TEAP was designed with a focus on protected inner methods that typically rely on weak credentials, such as password-based secrets. To that extent, the TEAP authentication mitigates several vulnerabilities, such as offline dictionary attacks, by protecting the weak credential-based inner method. The protection is based on strong cryptographic algorithms in TLS to provide message confidentiality and integrity. The keys derived for the protection relies on strong random challenges provided by both peer and server as well as an established key with strong entropy. Implementations should follow the recommendation in [RFC4086] when generating random numbers. 7.4.1. User Identity Protection and Verification The initial identity request response exchange is sent in cleartext outside the protection of TEAP. Typically, the Network Access Identifier (NAI) [RFC7542] in the identity response is useful only for the realm of information that is used to route the authentication requests to the right EAP server. This means that the identity response may contain an anonymous identity and just contain realm DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 71] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 information. In other cases, the identity exchange may be eliminated altogether if there are other means for establishing the destination realm of the request. In no case should an intermediary place any trust in the identity information in the identity response since it is unauthenticated and may not have any relevance to the authenticated identity. TEAP implementations should not attempt to compare any identity disclosed in the initial cleartext EAP Identity response packet with those Identities authenticated in Phase 2. Identity request/response exchanges sent after the TEAP tunnel is established are protected from modification and eavesdropping by attackers. When a client certificate is sent outside of the TLS tunnel in Phase 1, the peer MUST include Identity-Type as an outer TLV, in order to signal the type of identity which that client certificate is for. Further, when a client certificate is sent outside of the TLS tunnel, the server MUST proceed with Phase 2. If there is no Phase 2 data, then the EAP server MUST reject the session. Issues related to confidentiality of a client certificate are discussed above in Section 3.4.1 Note that the Phase 2 data could simply be a Result TLV with value Success, along with a Crypto-Binding TLV. This Phase 2 data serves as a protected success indication as discussed in [RFC9190] Section 2.1.1 7.5. Dictionary Attack Resistance TEAP was designed with a focus on protected inner methods that typically rely on weak credentials, such as password-based secrets. TEAP mitigates offline dictionary attacks by allowing the establishment of a mutually authenticated encrypted TLS tunnel providing confidentiality and integrity to protect the weak credential-based inner method. TEAP mitigates dictionary attacks by permitting inner methods such as EAP-pwd which are not vulnerable to dictionary attacks. TEAP implementations can mitigate against online "brute force" dictionary attempts by limiting the number of failed authentication attempts for a particular identity. 7.5.1. Protection against Man-in-the-Middle Attacks TEAP provides protection from man-in-the-middle attacks in a few ways: DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 72] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 1. By using a certificates or a session ticket to mutually authenticate the peer and server during TEAP authentication Phase 1 establishment of a secure TLS tunnel. 2. When the TLS tunnel is not secured, by using the keys generated by the inner method (if the inner methods are key generating) in the crypto-binding exchange and in the generation of the key material exported by the inner method described in Section 5. TEAP crypto binding does not guarantee man-in-the-middle protection if the client allows a connection to an untrusted server, such as in the case where the client does not properly validate the server's certificate. If the TLS cipher suite derives the master secret solely from the contribution of secret data from one side of the conversation (such as cipher suites based on RSA key transport), then an attacker who can convince the client to connect and engage in authentication can impersonate the client to another server even if a strong inner method is executed within the tunnel. If the TLS cipher suite derives the master secret from the contribution of secrets from both sides of the conversation (such as in cipher suites based on Diffie-Hellman), then crypto binding can detect an attacker in the conversation if a strong inner method is used. 7.6. Protecting against Forged Cleartext EAP Packets EAP Success and EAP Failure packets are, in general, sent in cleartext and may be forged by an attacker without detection. Forged EAP Failure packets can be used to attempt to convince an EAP peer to disconnect. Forged EAP Success packets may be used to attempt to convince a peer that authentication has succeeded, even though the authenticator has not authenticated itself to the peer. By providing message confidentiality and integrity, TEAP provides protection against these attacks. Once the peer and authentication server (AS) initiate the TEAP authentication Phase 2, compliant TEAP implementations MUST silently discard all cleartext EAP messages, unless both the TEAP peer and server have indicated success or failure using a protected mechanism. Protected mechanisms include the TLS alert mechanism and the protected termination mechanism described in Section 3.6.5. The success/failure decisions within the TEAP tunnel indicate the final decision of the TEAP authentication conversation. After a success/failure result has been indicated by a protected mechanism, the TEAP peer can process unprotected EAP Success and EAP Failure messages; however, the peer MUST ignore any unprotected EAP Success or Failure messages where the result does not match the result of the protected mechanism. DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 73] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 To abide by [RFC3748], the server sends a cleartext EAP Success or EAP Failure packet to terminate the EAP conversation. However, since EAP Success and EAP Failure packets are not retransmitted, the final packet may be lost. While a TEAP-protected EAP Success or EAP Failure packet should not be a final packet in a TEAP conversation, it may occur based on the conditions stated above, so an EAP peer should not rely upon the unprotected EAP Success and Failure messages. 7.7.

Requirement 4.6.5: Method Metadata TEAPv1 meets this requirement by supporting the Identity-Type TLV as defined in Section 4.2.3 to indicate whether the authentication is for a user or a machine. Appendix B. Major Differences from EAP-FAST This document is a new standard tunnel EAP method based on revision of EAP-FAST version 1 [RFC4851] that contains improved flexibility, particularly for negotiation of cryptographic algorithms. The major changes are: 1. The EAP method name has been changed from EAP-FAST to TEAP; this change thus requires that a new EAP Type be assigned. 2. This version of TEAP MUST support TLS 1.2 [RFC5246]. TLS 1.1 and earlier MUST NOT be used with TEAP. 3. The key derivation now makes use of TLS keying material exporters [RFC5705] and the PRF and hash function negotiated in TLS. This is to simplify implementation and better support cryptographic algorithm agility. 4. TEAP is in full conformance with TLS ticket extension [RFC5077]. 5. Support is provided for passing optional Outer TLVs in the first two message exchanges, in addition to the Authority-ID TLV data in EAP-FAST. DeKok (Ed) Expires 7 March 2024 [Page 80] Internet-Draft TEAP September 2023 6. Basic password authentication on the TLV level has been added in addition to the existing inner EAP method. 7. Additional TLV types have been defined to support EAP channel binding and metadata. They are the Identity-Type TLV and Channel-Binding TLVs, defined in Section 4.2. Appendix C. Examples C.1.
