           Host Identity Protocol (HIP) Rendezvous Extension

Abstract

   This document defines a rendezvous extension for the Host Identity
   Protocol (HIP).  The rendezvous extension extends HIP and the HIP
   Registration Extension for initiating communication between HIP nodes
   via HIP rendezvous servers.  Rendezvous servers improve reachability
   and operation when HIP nodes are multihomed or mobile.  This document
   obsoletes RFC 5204.

1.  Introduction

   "The Host Identity Protocol (HIP) Architecture" [HIP-ARCH] introduces
   the rendezvous mechanism to help a HIP node to contact a frequently
   moving HIP node.  The rendezvous mechanism involves a third party,
   the rendezvous server (RVS), which serves as an initial contact point
   ("rendezvous point") for its clients.  The clients of an RVS are HIP
   nodes that use the HIP Registration Extension [RFC8003] to register
   their HIT->IP address mappings with the RVS.  After this
   registration, other HIP nodes can initiate a base exchange using the
   IP address of the RVS instead of the current IP address of the node
   they attempt to contact.  Essentially, the clients of an RVS become
   reachable at the RVS's IP address.  Peers can initiate a HIP base
   exchange with the IP address of the RVS, which will relay this
   initial communication such that the base exchange may successfully
   complete.







RFC 8004                HIP Rendezvous Extension            October 2016


2.  Terminology

   This section defines terms used throughout the remainder of this
   specification.

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].

   In addition to the terminology defined in the HIP specification
   [RFC7401] and the HIP Registration Extension [RFC8003], this document
   defines and uses the following terms:

   Rendezvous Service
      A HIP service provided by an RVS to its rendezvous clients.  The
      RVS offers to relay some of the arriving base exchange packets
      between the Initiator and Responder.

   Rendezvous Server (RVS)
      A HIP registrar providing rendezvous service.

   Rendezvous Client
      A HIP requester that has registered for rendezvous service at an
      RVS.

   Rendezvous Registration
      A HIP registration for rendezvous service, established between an
      RVS and a rendezvous client.

3.  Overview of Rendezvous Server Operation

   Figure 1 shows a simple HIP base exchange without an RVS, in which
   the Initiator initiates the exchange directly with the Responder by
   sending an I1 packet to the Responder's IP address, as per the HIP
   specification [RFC7401].

                      +-----+                +-----+
                      |     |-------I1------>|     |
                      |  I  |<------R1-------|  R  |
                      |     |-------I2------>|     |
                      |     |<------R2-------|     |
                      +-----+                +-----+

   The End-Host Mobility and Multihoming with the HIP specification
   [HIP-HOST-MOB] allows a HIP node to notify its peers about changes in
   its set of IP addresses.  This specification presumes initial
   reachability of the two nodes with respect to each other.

   However, such a HIP node MAY also want to be reachable to other
   future correspondent peers that are unaware of its location change.
   The HIP Architecture [HIP-ARCH] introduces RVSs with whom a HIP node
   MAY register its Host Identity Tags (HITs) and current IP addresses.
   An RVS relays HIP packets arriving for these HITs to the node's
   registered IP addresses.  When a HIP node has registered with an RVS,
   it SHOULD record the IP address of its RVS in its DNS record, using
   the HIP DNS resource record type defined in the HIP DNS Extension
   [RFC8005].

                                  +-----+
                         +--I1--->| RVS |---I1--+
                         |        +-----+       |
                         |                      v
                      +-----+                +-----+
                      |     |<------R1-------|     |
                      |  I  |-------I2------>|  R  |
                      |     |<------R2-------|     |
                      +-----+                +-----+

           Figure 2: HIP Base Exchange with a Rendezvous Server

   Figure 2 shows a HIP base exchange involving an RVS.  It is assumed
   that HIP node R previously registered its HITs and current IP
   addresses with the RVS, using the HIP Registration Extension
   [RFC8003].  When the Initiator I tries to establish contact with the
   Responder R, it must send the I1 of the base exchange either to one
   of R's IP addresses (if known via DNS or other means) or to one of
   R's RVSs.  Here, I obtains the IP address of R's RVS from R's DNS
   record and then sends the I1 packet of the HIP base exchange to RVS.
   RVS, noticing that the HIT contained in the arriving I1 packet is not
   one of its own, MUST check its current registrations to determine if
   it needs to relay the packets.  Here, it determines that the HIT
   belongs to R and then relays the I1 packet to the registered IP
   address.  R then completes the base exchange without further
   assistance from RVS by sending an R1 directly to the I's IP address,
   as obtained from the I1 packet.  In this specification, the client of
   the RVS is always the Responder.  However, there might be reasons
   (such as NAT and firewall traversal) to allow a client to initiate a
   base exchange through its own RVS.  This specification does not
   address such scenarios, which should be specified in other documents.

3.1.  Diagram Notation

   Notation       Significance
   --------       ------------

   I, R           I and R are the respective source and destination IP
                  addresses in the IP header.

   HIT-I, HIT-R   HIT-I and HIT-R are the Initiator's and the
                  Responder's HITs in the packet, respectively.

   REG_REQ        A REG_REQUEST parameter is present in the HIP header.

   REG_RES        A REG_RESPONSE parameter is present in the HIP header.

   FROM:I         A FROM parameter containing the IP address I is
                  present in the HIP header.

   RVS_HMAC       An RVS_HMAC parameter containing an Hashed Message

3.2.  Rendezvous Client Registration

   Before an RVS starts to relay HIP packets to a rendezvous client, the
   rendezvous client needs to register with the RVS to receive
   rendezvous service by using the HIP Registration Extension [RFC8003]
   as illustrated in the following schema:

          Rendezvous Client Registering with a Rendezvous Server







RFC 8004                HIP Rendezvous Extension            October 2016


3.3.  Relaying the Base Exchange

   If a HIP node and one of its RVSs have a rendezvous registration, the
   RVSs relay inbound I1 packets (that contain one of the client's HITs)
   by rewriting the IP header.  They replace the destination IP address
   of the I1 packet with one of the IP addresses of the owner of the
   HIT, i.e., the rendezvous client.  They MUST also recompute the IP
   checksum accordingly.

   Because of ingress filtering on the path from the RVS to the client
   [RFC2827] [RFC3013], a HIP RVS SHOULD replace the source IP address,
   i.e., the IP address of I, with one of its own IP addresses.  The
   replacement IP address SHOULD be chosen according to relevant IPv4
   and IPv6 specifications [RFC1122] [RFC6724].  Because this
   replacement conceals the Initiator's IP address, the RVS MUST append
   a FROM parameter containing the original source IP address of the
   packet.  This FROM parameter MUST be integrity protected by an
   RVS_HMAC keyed with the corresponding rendezvous registration
   integrity key [RFC8003].

                                             I1(RVS, R, HIT-I, HIT-R
       I1(I, RVS, HIT-I, HIT-R) +---------+     FROM:I, RVS_HMAC)
       +----------------------->|         |--------------------+
       |                        |   RVS   |                    |
       |                        |         |                    |
       |                        +---------+                    |
       |                                                       V
      +-----+        R1(R, I, HIT-R, HIT-I, VIA:RVS)       +-----+
      |     |<---------------------------------------------|     |
      |     |                                              |     |
      |  I  |            I2(I, R, HIT-I, HIT-R)            |  R  |
      |     |--------------------------------------------->|     |
      |     |<---------------------------------------------|     |
      +-----+             R2(R, I, HIT-R, HIT-I)           +-----+

                 Rendezvous Server Rewriting IP Addresses

   This modification of HIP packets at an RVS can be problematic because
   HIP uses integrity checks.  Because the I1 does not include HMAC or
   SIGNATURE parameters, these two end-to-end integrity checks are
   unaffected by the operation of RVSs.

   The RVS SHOULD verify the checksum field of an I1 packet before doing
   any modifications.  After modification, it MUST recompute the
   checksum field using the updated HIP header, which possibly included
   new FROM and RVS_HMAC parameters, and a pseudo-header containing the





RFC 8004                HIP Rendezvous Extension            October 2016


   updated source and destination IP addresses.  This enables the
   Responder to validate the checksum of the I1 packet "as is", without
   having to parse any FROM parameters.

4.  Rendezvous Server Extensions

   This section describes extensions to the HIP Registration Extension
   [RFC8003], allowing a HIP node to register with an RVS for rendezvous
   service and to notify the RVS aware of changes to its current
   location.  It also describes an extension to the HIP specification
   [RFC7401] itself, allowing establishment of HIP associations via one
   or more HIP RVSs.

4.1.  RENDEZVOUS Registration Type

   This specification defines an additional registration for the HIP
   Registration Extension [RFC8003] that allows registering with an RVS
   for rendezvous service.

   Number   Registration Type
   ------   -----------------
   1        RENDEZVOUS

4.2.  Parameter Formats and Processing

4.2.1.  RVS_HMAC Parameter

   The RVS_HMAC is a non-critical parameter whose only difference with
   the HMAC parameter defined in the HIP specification [RFC7401] is its
   "type" code.  This change causes it to be located after the FROM
   parameter (as opposed to the HMAC):

   Type        65500
   Length      Variable.  Length in octets, excluding Type, Length, and
               Padding.

   HMAC        HMAC computed over the HIP packet, excluding the
               RVS_HMAC parameter and any following parameters.  The
               HMAC is keyed with the appropriate HIP integrity key
               (HIP-lg or HIP-gl) established when rendezvous
               registration happened.  The HIP "checksum" field MUST be
               set to zero, and the HIP header length in the HIP common
               header MUST be calculated not to cover any excluded
               parameter when the HMAC is calculated.  The size of the
               HMAC is the natural size of the hash computation
               output depending on the used hash function.





RFC 8004                HIP Rendezvous Extension            October 2016


   To allow a rendezvous client and its RVS to verify the integrity of
   packets flowing between them, both SHOULD protect packets with an
   added RVS_HMAC parameter keyed with the HIP-lg or HIP-gl integrity
   key established while registration occurred.  A valid RVS_HMAC SHOULD
   be present on every packet flowing between a client and a server and
   MUST be present when a FROM parameter is processed.

    Type        65498
    Length      16
    Address     An IPv6 address or an IPv4-in-IPv6 format IPv4 address.

   An RVS MUST add a FROM parameter containing the original source IP
   address of a HIP packet whenever the source IP address in the IP
   header is rewritten.  If one or more FROM parameters are already
   present, the new FROM parameter MUST be appended after the existing
   ones.

   Whenever an RVS inserts a FROM parameter, it MUST insert an RVS_HMAC
   protecting the packet integrity, especially the IP address included
   in the FROM parameter.

    Type        65502
    Length      Variable
    Address     An IPv6 address or an IPv4-in-IPv6 format IPv4 address.

   After the Responder receives a relayed I1 packet, it can begin to
   send HIP packets addressed to the Initiator's IP address, without
   further assistance from an RVS.  For debugging purposes, it MUST
   append a newly created VIA_RVS parameter at the end of the R1 packet
   that contains the IP address of the RVS that relayed the I1 packet.
   Including more than one IP address in the VIA_RVS parameter is
   outside the scope of this specification.  The main goal of using the
   VIA_RVS parameter is to allow operators to diagnose possible issues
   encountered while establishing a HIP association via an RVS.

4.3.  Modified Packets Processing

   The following subsections describe the differences of the processing
   of I1 and R1 while an RVS is involved in the base exchange.

4.3.1.  Processing Outgoing I1 Packets

   An Initiator SHOULD NOT send an opportunistic I1 with a NULL
   destination HIT to an IP address that is known to be a rendezvous
   server address, unless it wants to establish a HIP association with
   the RVS itself and does not know its HIT.





RFC 8004                HIP Rendezvous Extension            October 2016


   When an RVS rewrites the source IP address of an I1 packet due to
   egress filtering, it MUST add a FROM parameter to the I1 that
   contains the Initiator's source IP address.  This FROM parameter MUST
   be protected by an RVS_HMAC keyed with the integrity key established
   at rendezvous registration.

4.3.2.  Processing Incoming I1 Packets

   When an RVS receives an I1 whose destination HIT is not its own, it
   consults its registration database to find a registration for the
   rendezvous service established by the HIT owner.  If it finds an
   appropriate registration, it relays the packet to the registered IP
   address.  If it does not find an appropriate registration, it drops
   the packet.

   An RVS SHOULD interpret any incoming opportunistic I1 (i.e., an I1
   with a NULL destination HIT) as an I1 addressed to itself and SHOULD
   NOT attempt to relay it to one of its clients.

   When a rendezvous client receives an I1, it MUST validate any present
   RVS_HMAC parameter.  If the RVS_HMAC cannot be verified, the packet
   SHOULD be dropped.  If the RVS_HMAC cannot be verified and a FROM
   parameter is present, the packet MUST be dropped.

   A rendezvous client acting as Responder SHOULD drop opportunistic I1s
   that include a FROM parameter, because this indicates that the I1 has
   been relayed.

4.3.3.  Processing Outgoing R1 Packets

   When a Responder replies to an I1 relayed via an RVS, it MUST append
   to the regular R1 header a VIA_RVS parameter containing the IP
   addresses of the traversed RVSs.

4.3.4.  Processing Incoming R1 Packets

   The HIP specification [RFC7401] mandates that a system receiving an
   R1 MUST first check to see if it has sent an I1 to the originator of
   the R1 (i.e., the system is in state I1-SENT).  When the R1 is
   replying to a relayed I1, this check SHOULD be based on HITs only.
   In case the IP addresses are also checked, then the source IP address
   MUST be checked against the IP address included in the VIA_RVS
   parameter.

5.  Security Considerations

   This section discusses the known threats introduced by these HIP
   extensions and the implications on the overall security of HIP.  In
   particular, it argues that the extensions described in this document
   do not introduce additional threats to HIP.

   It is difficult to encompass the whole scope of threats introduced by
   RVSs because their presence has implications both at the IP and HIP
   layers.  In particular, these extensions might allow for redirection,
   amplification, and reflection attacks at the IP layer, as well as
   attacks on the HIP layer itself, for example, man-in-the-middle
   attacks against the HIP base exchange.

   If an Initiator has a priori knowledge of the Responder's host
   identity when it first contacts the Responder via an RVS, it has a
   means to verify the signatures in the HIP base exchange, which
   protects against man-in-the-middle attacks.

   If an Initiator does not have a priori knowledge of the Responder's
   host identity (so-called "opportunistic Initiators"), it is almost
   impossible to defend the HIP exchange against these attacks, because
   the public keys exchanged cannot be authenticated.  The only approach
   would be to mitigate hijacking threats on HIP state by requiring an
   R1 answering an opportunistic I1 to come from the same IP address
   that originally sent the I1.  This procedure retains a level of
   security that is equivalent to what exists in the Internet today.

   However, for reasons of simplicity, this specification does not allow
   the establishment of a HIP association via an RVS in an opportunistic
   manner.
