| === lighttpd ===
| |
| | |
| ==== Tested with Versions ====
| |
| * lighttpd/1.4.31-4 with OpenSSL 1.0.1e on Debian Wheezy
| |
| * lighttpd/1.4.33 with OpenSSL 0.9.8o on Debian Squeeze (note that TLSv1.2 does not work in openssl 0.9.8 thus not all ciphers actually work)
| |
| * lighttpd/1.4.28-2 with OpenSSL 0.9.8o on Debian Squeeze (note that TLSv1.2 does not work in openssl 0.9.8 thus not all ciphers actually work)
| |
| * lighttpd/1.4.31, Ubuntu 14.04.2 Trusty with Openssl 1.0.1f
| |
| | |
| ==== Settings ====
| |
| Listing 3. SSL configuration for lighttpd
| |
| $SERVER["socket"] == "0.0.0.0:443" {
| |
| ssl.engine = "enable"
| |
| ssl.use-sslv2 = "disable"

| |
| }
| |
| Starting with lighttpd version 1.4.29 Diffie-Hellman and Elliptic-Curve Diffie-Hellman key agreement protocols are supported. By default, elliptic curve "prime256v1" (also "secp256r1") will be used, if no other is given. To select special curves, it is possible to set them using the configuration options <tt>ssl.dh-file</tt> and <tt>ssl.ec-curve</tt>.
| |
| Listing 4. SSL EC/DH configuration for lighttpd
| |
| <nowiki># use group16 dh parameters</nowiki>
| |
| ssl.dh-file = "/etc/lighttpd/ssl/dh4096.pem"
| |
| ssl.ec-curve = "secp384r1"
| |
| Please read section [https://bettercrypto.org/#dh A note on Diffie Hellman Key Exchanges] for more information on Diffie Hellman key exchange and elliptic curves.
| |
| | |
| ==== Additional settings ====
| |
| As for any other webserver, you might want to automatically redirect <tt>http://</tt> traffic toward <tt>https://</tt>. It is also recommended to set the environment variable <tt>HTTPS</tt>, so the PHP applications run by the webserver can easily detect that HTTPS is in use.
| |
| Listing 5. https auto-redirect configuration
| |
| $HTTP["scheme"] == "http" {
| |
| <nowiki># capture vhost name with regex condition -> %0 in redirect pattern</nowiki>
| |
| <nowiki># must be the most inner block to the redirect rule</nowiki>
| |
| $HTTP["host"] =~ ".*" {
| |
| url.redirect = (".*" => "https://%0$0")
| |
| }
| |
| <nowiki># Set the environment variable properly</nowiki>
| |
| setenv.add-environment = (
| |
| "HTTPS" => "on"
| |
| )
| |
| }
| |
| | |
| ==== Additional information ====
| |
| The config option <tt>honor-cipher-order</tt> is available since 1.4.30, the supported ciphers depend on the used OpenSSL-version (at runtime). ECDHE has to be available in OpenSSL at compile-time, which should be default. SSL compression should by deactivated by default at compile-time (if not, it’s active).
| |
| Support for other SSL-libraries like GnuTLS will be available in the upcoming 2.x branch, which is currently under development.

| ssl_dhparam file;
| |
| However, we advise you to read section [https://bettercrypto.org/#dh A note on Diffie Hellman Key Exchanges] and stay with the standard IKE/IETF parameters (as long as they are >1024 bits).
| |
| | |
| ==== Additional settings ====
| |
| If you decide to trust NIST’s ECC curve recommendation, you can add the following line to nginx’s configuration file to select special curves:
| |
| Listing 7. SSL EC/DH settings for nginx
| |
| ssl_ecdh_curve secp384r1;
| |
| You might want to redirect everything to <tt>https://</tt> if possible. In Nginx you can do this with the following setting:
| |
| Listing 8. https auto-redirect in nginx
| |
| return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
| |
| The variable <tt>$server_name</tt> refers to the first <tt>server_name</tt> entry in your config file. If you specify more than one <tt>server_name</tt> only the first will be taken. Please be sure to not use the <tt>$host</tt> variable here because it contains data controlled by the user.

| === MS IIS ===
| |
| To configure SSL/TLS on Windows Server [https://www.nartac.com/Products/IISCrypto/ IIS Crypto] can be used. Simply start the Programm, no installation required. The tool changes the registry keys described below. A restart is required for the changes to take effect.
| |

| When trying to avoid RC4 (RC4 biases) as well as CBC (BEAST-Attack) by using GCM and to support perfect forward secrecy, Microsoft SChannel (SSL/TLS, Auth,.. Stack) supports ECDSA but lacks support for RSA signatures (see [https://safecurves.cr.yp.to/rigid.html ECC suite B doubts]).
| |
| Since one is stuck with ECDSA, an elliptic curve certificate needs to be used.
| |
| The configuration of cipher suites MS IIS will use, can be configured in one of the following ways:# Group Policy: [https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/windows/desktop/SecAuthN/prioritizing-schannel-cipher-suites Prioritizing Schannel Cipher Suites]

For example insisting on SHA-2 algorithms (only first two lines) would eliminate all versions of Firefox, so the last line is needed to support this browser, but should be placed at the bottom, so capable browsers will choose the stronger SHA-2 algorithms.
| |
| <tt>TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA</tt> or equivalent should also be added if MS Terminal Server Connection is used (make sure to use this only in a trusted environment). This suite will not be used for SSL, since we do not use a RSA Key.

| === OpenSSH ===
| |
| [https://www.openssh.com/ OpenSSH] is the most popular implementation of the SSH protocol. It is maintained by the [https://openbsd.org/ OpenBSD] project and portable versions are disitributed with many unix-like operating-systems and Windows Server.

| || Older '''Linux''' systems won’t support SHA2. PuTTY (Windows) does not support RIPE-MD160. Curve25519, AES-GCM and UMAC are only available upstream (OpenSSH 6.6p1). DSA host keys have been removed on purpose, the DSS standard does not support for DSA keys stronger than 1024bit [[https://bettercrypto.org/#_footnotedef_5 5]] which is far below current standards (see section #section:keylengths). Legacy systems can use this configuration and simply omit unsupported ciphers, key exchange algorithms and MACs.

| || When the ASA is configured for SSH, by default both SSH versions 1 and 2 are allowed. In addition to that, only a group1 DH-key-exchange is used. This should be changed to allow only SSH version 2 and to use a key-exchange with group14. The generated RSA key should be 2048 bit (the actual supported maximum). A non-cryptographic best practice is to reconfigure the lines to only allow SSH-logins.

In IOS, a dedicated Key-pair can be bound to SSH to reduce the usage of individual keys-pairs. From IOS Version 15.0 onwards, 4096 Bit rsa keys are supported and should be used according to the paradigm "use longest supported key". Also, do not forget to disable telnet vty access.

| == Mailservers ==
| |
| This section documents the most common mail servers. Mail servers may usually be grouped into three categories:* Mail Submission Agent (MSA)
| |
| * Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) / Mail Exchanger (MX)
| |
| * Mail Delivery Agent (MDA)
| |
| An email client (mail user agent, MUA) submits mail to the MSA. This is usually been done using the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). Afterwards, the mail is transmitted by the MTA over the Internet to the MTA of the receiver. This happens again via SMTP. Finally, the mail client of the receiver will fetch mail from an MDA usually via the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) or the Post Office Protocol (POP).
| |
| As MSAs and MTAs both use SMTP as transfer protocols, both functionalities may often be implemented with the same software. On the other hand, MDA software might or might not implement both IMAP and POP.
| |
| | |
| === TLS usage in mail server protocols ===
| |
| Email protocols support TLS in two different ways. It may be added as a protocol wrapper on a different port. This method is referred to as Implicit TLS or as protocol variants SMTPS, IMAPS and POP3S. The other method is to establish a cleartext session first and switch to TLS afterwards by issuing the STARTTLS command.
| |
| SMTP between MTAs usually makes use of opportunistic TLS. This means that an MTA will accept TLS connections when asked for it but will not require it. MTAs should always try opportunistic TLS handshakes outgoing and always accept incoming opportunistic TLS.
| |
| | |
| === Recommended configuration ===
| |
| We recommend to use the following settings for Mail Transfer Agents:* correctly setup MX, A and PTR RRs without using CNAMEs at all
| |
| * the hostname used as HELO/EHLO in outgoing mail shall match the PTR RR
| |
| * enable opportunistic TLS, using the STARTTLS mechanism on port 25
| |
| * Implicit TLS on port 465 may be offered additionally
| |
| * use server and client certificates (most server certificates are client certificates as well)
| |
| * either the common name or at least an alternate subject name of the certificate shall match the PTR RR (client mode) or the MX RR (server mode)
| |
| * do not use self signed certificates
| |
| * accept all cipher suites, as the alternative would be to fall back to cleartext transmission
| |
| * an execption to the last sentence is that MTAs '''MUST NOT''' enable SSLv2 protocol support, due to the [https://drownattack.com/drown-attack-paper.pdf DROWN attack].
| |
| For MSA operation we recommend:* listen on submission port 587 with mandatory STARTTLS
| |
| * optionally listen on port 465 with Implicit TLS
| |
| * enforce SMTP AUTH even for local networks
| |
| * ensure that SMTP AUTH is not allowed on unencrypted connections
| |
| * only use the recommended cipher suites if all connecting MUAs support them
| |
| For MDA operation we recommend:* listen on the protocol port (143 for IMAP, 110 for POP3) with mandatory STARTTLS
| |
| * optionally listen on Implicit TLS ports (993 for IMAPS, 995 for POP3S)
| |
| * enforce authentication even for local networks
| |
| * make sure that authentication is not allowed on unencrypted connections
| |
| * use the recommended cipher suites if all connecting MUAs support them
| |
| * turn off SSLv2 (see: [https://drownattack.com/drown-attack-paper.pdf DROWN attack])

| ==== Settings ====
| |
| To activate SSL/TLS configure your certificate with
| |
| Listing 14. Activating TLS in cyrus
| |
| tls_cert_file: /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem
| |
| tls_key_file: /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key
| |
| Do not forget to add necessary intermediate certificates to the .pem file.
| |
| Limiting the ciphers provided may force (especially older) clients to connect without encryption at all! Sticking to the defaults is recommended.
| |
| If you still want to force strong encryption use
| |
| Listing 15. TLS cipher selection in cyrus
| |
| tls_cipher_list: EDH+CAMELLIA:EDH+aRSA:EECDH+aRSA+AESGCM:EECDH+aRSA+SHA256:EECDH:+CAMELLIA128:+AES128:+SSLv3:!aNULL:!eNULL:!LOW:!3DES:!MD5:!EXP:!PSK:!DSS:!RC4:!SEED:!IDEA:!ECDSA:kEDH:CAMELLIA128-SHA:AES128-SHA
| |
| cyrus-imapd loads hardcoded 1024 bit DH parameters using get_rfc2409_prime_1024() by default. If you want to load your own DH parameters add them PEM encoded to the certificate file given in tls_cert_file. Do not forget to re-add them after updating your certificate.
| |
| To prevent unencrypted connections on the STARTTLS ports you can set
| |
| Listing 16. Force encrypted connections in cyrus
| |
| allowplaintext: no
| |
| This way MUAs can only authenticate with plain text authentication schemes after issuing the STARTTLS command. Providing CRAM-MD5 or DIGEST-MD5 methods is not recommended.
| |
| To support POP3/IMAP on ports 110/143 with STARTTLS and POP3S/IMAPS on ports 995/993 check the SERVICES section in ''cyrus.conf''
| |
| Listing 17. STARTTLS for POP3/IMAP and POP3S/IMAPS in cyrus
| |
| SERVICES {
| |
| imap cmd="imapd -U 30" listen="imap" prefork=0 maxchild=100
| |
| imaps cmd="imapd -s -U 30" listen="imaps" prefork=0 maxchild=100
| |
| pop3 cmd="pop3d -U 30" listen="pop3" prefork=0 maxchild=50
| |
| pop3s cmd="pop3d -s -U 30" listen="pop3s" prefork=0 maxchild=50
| |
| }
| |
| | |
| ==== Limitations ====
| |
| cyrus-imapd currently (2.4.17, trunk) does not support elliptic curve cryptography. Hence, ECDHE will not work even if defined in your cipher list.
| |
| Currently there is no way to prefer server ciphers or to disable compression.
| |
| There is a working [https://bugzilla.cyrusimap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3823 patch] for all three features.

| ==== Settings ====
| |
| Postfix has five internal lists of ciphers, and the possibility to switch between those with <tt>smtpd_tls_ciphers</tt>. However, we leave this at its default value for server to server connections, as many mail servers only support outdated protocols and ciphers. We consider bad encryption still better than plain text transmission. For connections to MUAs, TLS is mandatory and the ciphersuite is modified.
| |
| | |
| ===== MX and SMTP client configuration: =====
| |
| As discussed in section [https://bettercrypto.org/#smtp_general [smtp_general]], because of opportunistic encryption we do not restrict the list of ciphers or protocols for communication with other mail servers to avoid transmission in plain text. There are still some steps needed to enable TLS, all in ''main.cf'':
| |
| Listing 18. Opportunistic TLS in Postfix
| |
| <nowiki># TLS parameters</nowiki>
| |
| smtpd_tls_cert_file=/etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem
| |
| smtpd_tls_key_file=/etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key
| |
| <nowiki># log TLS connection info</nowiki>
| |
| smtpd_tls_loglevel = 1
| |
| smtp_tls_loglevel = 1
| |
| <nowiki># enable opportunistic TLS support in the SMTP server and client</nowiki>
| |
| smtpd_tls_security_level = may
| |
| smtp_tls_security_level = may
| |
| <nowiki># if you have authentication enabled, only offer it after STARTTLS</nowiki>
| |
| smtpd_tls_auth_only = yes
| |
| tls_ssl_options = NO_COMPRESSION
| |
| | |
| ===== MSA: =====
| |
| For the MSA <tt>smtpd</tt> process which communicates with mail clients, we first define the ciphers that are acceptable for the “mandatory” security level, again in ''main.cf'':
| |
| Listing 19. MSA TLS configuration in Postfix
| |
| smtp_tls_mandatory_protocols = !SSLv2, !SSLv3
| |
| smtp_tls_protocols = !SSLv2, !SSLv3
| |
| lmtp_tls_mandatory_protocols = !SSLv2, !SSLv3
| |
| lmtp_tls_protocols = !SSLv2, !SSLv3
| |
| smtpd_tls_mandatory_protocols = !SSLv2, !SSLv3
| |
| smtpd_tls_protocols = !SSLv2, !SSLv3
| |
| smtpd_tls_mandatory_ciphers=high
| |
| tls_high_cipherlist=EDH+CAMELLIA:EDH+aRSA:EECDH+aRSA+AESGCM:EECDH+aRSA+SHA256:EECDH:+CAMELLIA128:+AES128:+SSLv3:!aNULL:!eNULL:!LOW:!3DES:!MD5:!EXP:!PSK:!DSS:!RC4:!SEED:!IDEA:!ECDSA:kEDH:CAMELLIA128-SHA:AES128-SHA
| |
| Then, we configure the MSA smtpd in ''master.cf'' with two additional options that are only used for this instance of smtpd:
| |
| Listing 20. MSA smtpd service configuration in Postfix
| |
| <nowiki># ==========================================================================</nowiki>
| |
| <nowiki># service type </nowiki> private unpriv chroot wakeup maxproc command + args
| |
| <nowiki># </nowiki> (yes) (yes) (no) (never) (100)
| |
| <nowiki># ==========================================================================</nowiki>
| |
| <nowiki># ...</nowiki>
| |
| submission inet n - - - - smtpd
| |
| -o smtpd_tls_security_level=encrypt
| |
| -o tls_preempt_cipherlist=yes
| |
| <nowiki># ...</nowiki>
| |
| For those users who want to use EECDH key exchange, it is possible to customize this via: The default value since Postfix 2.8 is “strong”.
| |
| Listing 21. EECDH customization in Postfix
| |
| smtpd_tls_eecdh_grade = ultra
| |
| | |
| ==== Limitations ====
| |
| <tt>tls_ssl_options</tt> is supported from Postfix 2.11 onwards. You can leave the statement in the configuration for older versions, it will be ignored.
| |
| <tt>tls_preempt_cipherlist</tt> is supported from Postfix 2.8 onwards. Again, you can leave the statement in for older versions.
| |
| | |
| ==== References ====
| |
| * Refer to [https://www.postfix.org/TLS_README.html https://www.postfix.org/TLS_README.html] for an in-depth discussion.
| |
| | |
| ==== Additional settings ====
| |
| Postfix has two sets of built-in DH parameters that can be overridden with the <tt>smtpd_tls_dh512_param_file</tt> and <tt>smtpd_tls_dh1024_param_file</tt> options. The “dh512” parameters are used for export ciphers, while the “dh1024” ones are used for all other ciphers.
| |
| The “bit length” in those parameter names is just a name, so one could use stronger parameter sets; it should be possible to e.g. use the IKE Group14 parameters (see section [https://bettercrypto.org/#DH [DH]] without much interoperability risk, but we have not tested this yet.
| |
| | |
| ==== How to test ====
| |
| You can check the effect of the settings with the following command:
| |
| $ zegrep "TLS connection established from.*with cipher" /var/log/mail.log | awk '{printf("%s %s %s %s\n", $12, $13, $14, $15)}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -n
| |
| 1 SSLv3 with cipher DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA
| |
| 23 TLSv1.2 with cipher DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384
| |
| 60 TLSv1 with cipher ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA
| |
| 270 TLSv1.2 with cipher ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384
| |
| 335 TLSv1 with cipher DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA

| |
| It is highly recommended to read [https://exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-encrypted_smtp_connections_using_tlsssl.html Encrypted SMTP connections using TLS/SSL] first.
| |
| | |
| ===== MSA mode (submission): =====
| |
| In the main config section of Exim add:
| |
| Listing 22. Certificate selection in Exim (MSA)
| |
| tls_certificate = /etc/ssl/exim.crt
| |
| tls_privatekey = /etc/ssl/exim.pem
| |
| Don’t forget to add intermediate certificates to the .pem file if needed.
| |
| Tell Exim to advertise STARTTLS in the EHLO answer to everyone:
| |
| Listing 23. TLS advertise in Exim (MSA)
| |
| tls_advertise_hosts = *
| |
| If you want to support legacy SMTPS on port 465, and STARTTLS on smtp(25)/submission(587) ports set
| |
| Listing 24. STARTTLS and SMTPS in Exim (MSA)
| |
| daemon_smtp_ports = smtp : smtps : submission
| |
| tls_on_connect_ports = 465
| |
| It is highly recommended to limit SMTP AUTH to SSL connections only. To do so add
| |
| Listing 25. SSL-only authentication in Exim (MSA)
| |
| server_advertise_condition = ${if eq{$tls_cipher}{}{no}{yes}}
| |
| to every authenticator defined.
| |
| Add the following rules on top of your acl_smtp_mail:
| |
| Listing 26. Submission mode in Exim (MSA)
| |
| acl_smtp_mail = acl_check_mail
| |
| acl_check_mail:
| |
| warn hosts = *
| |
| control = submission/sender_retain
| |
| accept
| |
| This switches Exim to submission mode and allows addition of missing “Message-ID” and “Date” headers.
| |
| It is not advisable to restrict the default cipher list for MSA mode if you don’t know all connecting MUAs. If you still want to define one please consult the Exim documentation or ask on the exim-users mailinglist.
| |
| The cipher used is written to the logfiles by default. You may want to add
| |
| log_selector = <whatever your log_selector already contains> +tls_certificate_verified +tls_peerdn +tls_sni
| |
| to get even more TLS information logged.
| |
| | |
| ===== Server mode (incoming): =====
| |
| In the main config section of Exim add:
| |
| Listing 27. Certificate selection in Exim (Server)
| |
| tls_certificate = /etc/ssl/exim.crt
| |
| tls_privatekey = /etc/ssl/exim.pem
| |
| Don’t forget to add intermediate certificates to the .pem file if needed.
| |
| Tell Exim to advertise STARTTLS in the EHLO answer to everyone:
| |
| Listing 28. TLS advertise in Exim (Server)
| |
| tls_advertise_hosts = *
| |
| Listen on smtp(25) port only:
| |
| Listing 29. STARTTLS on SMTP in Exim (Server)
| |
| daemon_smtp_ports = smtp
| |
| It is not advisable to restrict the default cipher list for opportunistic encryption as used by SMTP. Do not use cipher lists recommended for HTTPS! If you still want to define one please consult the Exim documentation or ask on the exim-users mailinglist.
| |
| If you want to request and verify client certificates from sending hosts set
| |
| Listing 30. TLS certificate verification in Exim (Server)
| |
| tls_verify_certificates = /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt
| |
| tls_try_verify_hosts = *
| |
| <tt>tls_try_verify_hosts</tt> only reports the result to your logfile. If you want to disconnect such clients you have to use
| |
| tls_verify_hosts = *
| |
| The cipher used is written to the logfiles by default. You may want to add
| |
| log_selector = <whatever your log_selector already contains> +tls_certificate_verified +tls_peerdn +tls_sni
| |
| to get even more TLS information logged.
| |
| | |
| ===== Client mode (outgoing): =====
| |
| Exim uses opportunistic encryption in the SMTP transport by default.
| |
| Client mode settings have to be done in the configuration section of the smtp transport (<tt>driver = smtp</tt>).
| |
| If you want to use a client certificate (most server certificates can be used as client certificate, too) set
| |
| Listing 31. Certificate selection in Exim (Client)
| |
| tls_certificate = /etc/ssl/exim.crt
| |
| tls_privatekey = /etc/ssl/exim.pem
| |
| This is recommended for MTA-MTA traffic.
| |
| Do not limit ciphers without a very good reason. In the worst case you end up without encryption at all instead of some weak encryption. Please consult the Exim documentation if you really need to define ciphers.
| |
| | |
| ===== OpenSSL: =====
| |
| Exim already disables SSLv2 by default. We recommend to add
| |
| openssl_options = +all +no_sslv2 +no_sslv3 +no_compression +cipher_server_preference
| |
| to the main configuration.
| |
| | |
| {| style="border-spacing:0;width:17cm;"
| |
| |- style="border:none;padding:0.049cm;"
| |
| ||
| |
| || <tt>+all</tt> is misleading here since OpenSSL only activates the most common workarounds. But that’s how <tt>SSL_OP_ALL</tt> is defined.
| |
| |-
| |
| |}
| |
| You do not need to set dh_parameters. Exim with OpenSSL by default uses parameter initialization with the “2048-bit MODP Group with 224-bit Prime Order Subgroup” defined in section 2.2 of RFC 5114 (ike23). If you want to set your own DH parameters please read the TLS documentation of exim.
| |
| | |
| ===== GnuTLS: =====
| |
| GnuTLS is different in only some respects to OpenSSL:* <tt>tls_require_ciphers</tt> needs a GnuTLS priority string instead of a cipher list. It is recommended to use the defaults by not defining this option. It highly depends on the version of GnuTLS used. Therefore it is not advisable to change the defaults.
| |
| * There is no option like <tt>openssl_options</tt>
| |
| | |
| {| style="border-spacing:0;width:17cm;"
| |
| |- style="border:none;padding:0.049cm;"
| |
| ||
| |
| || Exim string expansion
| |
| Most of the options accept expansion strings. This way you can e.g. set cipher lists or STARTTLS advertisement conditionally. Please follow the link to the official Exim documentation to get more information.
| |
| |-
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| ===== Limitations: =====
| |
| Exim currently (4.82) does not support elliptic curves with OpenSSL. This means that ECDHE is not used even if defined in your cipher list. There already is a working [https://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1397 patch] to provide support.

| After committing these changes in the CLI, you have to activate the use of TLS in several locations.
| |
| For inbound connections, first select the appropriate certificate in the settings of each listener you want to have TLS enabled on (Network → Listeners, see figure [https://bettercrypto.org/#ach_ironport_ssl_settings IronPort Default SSL Settings]). Afterwards, for each listener, configure all Mail Flow Policies which have their Connection Behavior set to “Accept” or “Relay” to at least prefer TLS (Mail Policies → Mail Flow Policies, see figure [https://bettercrypto.org/#ach_ironport_ssl_settings IronPort Default SSL Settings]). It is recommended to also enable TLS in the default Mail Flow Policy, because these settings will be inherited by newly created policies, unless specifically overwritten. + TLS can be enforced by creating a new Mail Flow Policy with TLS set to “required”, creating a new Sender Group defining the addresses of the sending mail servers for which you want to enforce encryption (Mail Policies → HAT Overview) and using this new Sender Group in conjunction with the newly created Mail Flow Policy.

| TLS settings for outbound connections have to be configured within the Destination Controls (Mail Policies → Destination Controls). Choose the appropriate SSL certificate within the global settings and configure TLS to be preferred in the default profile to enable it for all outbound connections. After these two steps the Destination Control overview page should look like figure [https://bettercrypto.org/#ach_ironport_dest_control IronPort Destination Control overview] on page . To enforce TLS for a specific destination domain, add an entry to the Destination Control Table and set “TLS Support” to “required”.

| ==== Limitations ====
| |
| All AsyncOS releases prior to version 9.5 use OpenSSL 0.9.8. Therefore TLS 1.2 is not supported in these versions and some of the suggested ciphers won’t work. Starting with AsyncOS 9.5 TLS 1.2 is fully supported. [[https://bettercrypto.org/#_footnotedef_8 8]] You can check the supported ciphers on the CLI by using the option <tt>verify</tt> from within the <tt>sslconfig</tt> command:
| |
| []> verify
| |
| Enter the ssl cipher you want to verify.

| ==== How to test ====
| |
| $ openssl s_client -starttls smtp -crlf -connect example.com:25
| |
| | |
| == Virtual Private Networks ==
| |
| Virtual Private Networks (VPN) provide means of connecting private networks over external / public transport networks. Since we do not control the transport networks we have to to take care about data integrity and privacy.
| |
| | |
| {| style="border-spacing:0;width:17cm;"
| |
| |- style="border:none;padding:0.049cm;"
| |
| ||
| |
| || Some providers also offer VPNs for connecting company networks via MPLS or simular technologies. The provider promises you that nobody else has access to your data trnfserred over their lines. You have to decide if this promise does fit to your information security requirements.
| |
| |-
| |
| |}
| |
| Basically there are two ways to ensure the privacy and integrity of the data sent via external lines. First you could utilize the built-in security of the Internet Protocol (IPsec). The other way are specific applications that encrypt the data before sending it over the line.
| |
| IPsec is an Internet standard (TODO RFC 6071). This guarantees the interoperability between implementations of different vendors. You can establish a secure connection with your customer or your supplier. On the other hand VPN applications mostly utilize TLS to secury the communication between the partners.
| |
| TODO: Descision criteria IPsec vs. VPN application.
| |
| | |
| === IPsec ===
| |
| IPsec is the Internet standard to encrypt the transport of data between private networks.
| |
| | |
| ==== Technology ====
| |
| We describe only the use the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) version 2 in this dodument. IKEv1 has some usage and security problems and should not be used any more. (TODO: reference).
| |
| | |
| ==== Authentication ====
| |
| IPsec authentication should optimally be performed via RSA signatures, with a key size of 2048 bits or more. Configuring only the trusted CA that issued the peer certificate provides for additional protection against fake certificates.
| |
| If you need to use Pre-Shared Key (PSK) authentication:* Choose a ''random'', ''long enough'' PSK (see below)
| |
| * Use a ''separate'' PSK for any IPsec connection
| |
| * Change the PSKs regularly
| |
| * Think aboute a ''secure'' way to exchange the PSK. Sending an SMS it ''not'' secure.
| |
| The size of the PSK should not be shorter than the output size of the hash algorithm used in IKE.footnote[It is used in a HMAC, see RFC2104 and the discussion starting in TODO: verify [http://www.vpnc.org/ietf-ipsec/02.ipsec/msg00268.html http://www.vpnc.org/ietf-ipsec/02.ipsec/msg00268.html].].
| |
| For a key composed only of upper- and lowercase letters, numbers, and two additional characters[[https://bettercrypto.org/#_footnotedef_9 9]], table #tab:IPSEC_psk_len gives the minimum lengths in characters.
| |
| | |
| ===== Cryptographic Suites: =====
| |
| IPSEC Cryptographic Suites are pre-defined settings for all the items of a configuration; they try to provide a balanced security level and make setting up VPNs easier. [[https://bettercrypto.org/#_footnotedef_10 10]]
| |
| When using any of those suites, make sure to enable “Perfect Forward Secrecy“ for Phase 2, as this is not specified in the suites. The equivalents to the recommended ciphers suites in section [https://bettercrypto.org/#recommendedciphers Recommended cipher suites] are shown in table #tab:IPSEC_suites.
| |
| | |
| ===== Phase 1: =====
| |
| TODO: Phase 1 and 2 are phrases from IKEv1. Re-write for IKEv2.
| |
| Alternatively to the pre-defined cipher suites, you can define your own, as described in this and the next section.
| |
| Phase 1 is the mutual authentication and key exchange phase; table #tab:IPSEC_ph1_params shows the parameters.
| |
| Use only “main mode“, as “aggressive mode“ has known security vulnerabilities [[https://bettercrypto.org/#_footnotedef_11 11]].
| |
| | |
| ===== Phase 2: =====
| |
| Phase 2 is where the parameters that protect the actual data are negotiated; recommended parameters are shown in table #tab:IPSEC_ph2_params.

| | |
| ===== Settings =====
| |
| | |
| ====== General ======
| |
| We describe a configuration with certificate-based authentication; see below for details on the <tt>easyrsa</tt> tool to help you with that.
| |
| OpenVPN uses TLS only for authentication and key exchange. The bulk traffic is then encrypted and authenticated with the OpenVPN protocol using those keys.
| |
| Note that while the <tt>tls-cipher</tt> option takes a list of ciphers that is then negotiated as usual with TLS, the <tt>cipher</tt> and <tt>auth</tt> options both take a single argument that must match on client and server.
| |
| OpenVPN duplexes the tunnel into a data and a control channel. The control channel is a usual TLS connection, the data channel currently uses encrypt-then-mac CBC, see [https://github.com/BetterCrypto/Applied-Crypto-Hardening/pull/91#issuecomment-75365286 https://github.com/BetterCrypto/Applied-Crypto-Hardening/pull/91#issuecomment-75365286]
| |
| | |
| ====== Server Configuration ======
| |
| | |
| ====== Client Configuration ======
| |
| Client and server have to use compatible configurations, otherwise they can’t communicate. The <tt>cipher</tt> and <tt>auth</tt> directives have to be identical.
| |
| | |
| ==== Justification for special settings ====
| |
| OpenVPN 2.3.1 changed the values that the <tt>tls-cipher</tt> option expects from OpenSSL to IANA cipher names. That means from that version on you will get ''Deprecated TLS cipher name'' warnings for the configurations above. You cannot use the selection strings from section [https://bettercrypto.org/#recommendedciphers Recommended cipher suites] directly from 2.3.1 on, which is why we give an explicit cipher list here.
| |
| In addition, there is a 256 character limit on configuration file line lengths; that limits the size of cipher suites, so we dropped all ECDHE suites.
| |
| The configuration shown above is compatible with all tested versions.
| |
| | |

| |
| | |
| ==== Additional settings ====
| |
| | |
| ===== Key renegotiation interval =====
| |
| The default for renegotiation of encryption keys is one hour (<tt>reneg-sec 3600</tt>). If you transfer huge amounts of data over your tunnel, you might consider configuring a shorter interval, or switch to a byte- or packet-based interval (<tt>reneg-bytes</tt> or <tt>reneg-pkts</tt>).
| |
| | |
| ===== Insecure ciphers =====
| |
| Sweet32[[https://bettercrypto.org/#_footnotedef_12 12]] is an attack on 64-bit block ciphers, such as <tt>3DES</tt> and <tt>Blowfish</tt> in OpenVPN. The following ciphers are affected, and should no longer be used:* BF-*
| |
| * DES* (including 3DES variants)
| |
| * RC2-*
| |
| The following ciphers are not affected:* AES-*
| |
| * CAMELLIA-*
| |
| * SEED-*
| |
| According to mitigation section on Sweet32 website[[https://bettercrypto.org/#_footnotedef_13 13]] users users should change the cipher from the DES or Blowfish to AES (<tt>cipher AES-128-CBC</tt>). If cipher change is not possible users can mitigate the attack by forcing frequent rekeying (<tt>reneg-bytes 64000000</tt>).
| |
| | |
| ===== Fixing “easy-rsa” =====
| |
| When installing an OpenVPN server instance, you are probably using <tt>easy-rsa</tt> to generate keys and certificates. The file <tt>vars</tt> in the easyrsa installation directory has a number of settings that should be changed to secure values:
| |
| This will enhance the security of the key generation by using RSA keys with a length of 4096 bits, and set a lifetime of one year for the server/client certificates and five years for the CA certificate.
| |
| | |
| {| style="border-spacing:0;width:17cm;"
| |
| |- style="border:none;padding:0.049cm;"
| |
| ||
| |
| || 4096 bits is only an example of how to do this with easy-rsa. See also section [https://bettercrypto.org/#keylengths Keylengths] for a discussion on keylengths.
| |
| |-
| |
| |}
| |
| In addition, edit the <tt>pkitool</tt> script and replace all occurrences of <tt>sha1</tt> with <tt>sha256</tt>, to sign the certificates with SHA256.
| |
| | |
| ==== Limitations ====
| |
| Note that the ciphersuites shown by <tt>openvpn --show-tls</tt> are ''known'', but not necessarily ''supported'' [[https://bettercrypto.org/#_footnotedef_14 14]].
| |
| Which cipher suite is actually used can be seen in the logs:
| |
| <tt>Control Channel: TLSv1, cipher TLSv1/SSLv3 DHE-RSA-CAMELLIA256-SHA, 2048 bit RSA</tt>
| |
| | |
| === PPTP ===
| |
| PPTP is considered insecure, Microsoft recommends to _use a more secure VPN tunnel_[[https://bettercrypto.org/#_footnotedef_15 15]].
| |
| There is a cloud service that cracks the underlying MS-CHAPv2 authentication protocol for the price of USD 200[[https://bettercrypto.org/#_footnotedef_16 16]], and given the resulting MD4 hash, all PPTP traffic for a user can be decrypted.
| |
| | |
| === Cisco ASA ===
| |
| The following settings reflect our recommendations as best as possible on the Cisco ASA platform. These are - of course - just settings regarding SSL/TLS (i.e. Cisco AnyConnect) and IPsec. For further security settings regarding this platform the appropriate Cisco guides should be followed.

| ==== Justification for special settings ====
| |
| New IPsec policies have been defined which do not make use of ciphers that may be cause for concern. Policies have a "Fallback" option to support legacy devices.
| |
| 3DES has been completely disabled as such Windows XP AnyConnect Clients will no longer be able to connect.
| |
| The Cisco ASA platform does not currently support RSA Keys above 2048bits.
| |
| Legacy ASA models (e.g. 5505, 5510, 5520, 5540, 5550) do not offer the possibility to configure for SHA256/SHA384/SHA512 nor AES-GCM for IKEv2 proposals.

| ===== Defaults =====
| |
| tinc uses 2048 bit RSA keys, Blowfish-CBC, and SHA1 as default settings and suggests the usage of CBC mode ciphers. Any key length up to 8192 is supported and it does not need to be a power of two. OpenSSL Ciphers and Digests are supported by tinc.
| |
| | |
| ===== Settings =====
| |
| Generate keys with
| |
| $ tincd -n NETNAME -K8192
| |
| Old keys will not be deleted (but disabled), you have to delete them manually. Add the following lines to your tinc.conf on all machines

| | |
| == PGP/GPG - Pretty Good Privacy ==
| |
| The [https://tools.ietf.org/search/rfc4880 OpenPGP protocol] defines a set of asymmetric- and symmetric encryption algorithms, signature methods and compression protocols. [https://gnupg.org/ GnuPG], a FOSS implementation of the OpenPGP standard, is widely used for mail encryption.
| |
| GnuPG signs a message, encrypts it symmetrically and encrypts the symmetric key and the hash with Bob’s public key asymmetrically.
| |
| Research on SHA-1 conducted back in 2005 (see: [https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2005/02/sha1_broken.html SHA-1 Broken]) as well as the first practical successful collision in early 2017 (see: [https://shattered.io/ SHAttered]) has made clear that collision attacks are a real threat to the security of the SHA-1 hash function.
| |
| Since SHA-1 is defined as a must implementation by the OpenPGP specification, GnuPG is still using it. Currently settings should be adapted to preferably avoid using SHA-1.
| |
| When using GnuPG, there are a couple of things to take care of:* keylengths (see: [https://bettercrypto.org/#keylengths Keylengths])
| |
| * randomness (see: [https://bettercrypto.org/#rngs Random Number Generators])
| |
| * preference of symmetric encryption algorithm (see: [https://bettercrypto.org/#ciphersuites Architectural overview])
| |
| * preference of hash function (see: [https://bettercrypto.org/#ciphersuites Architectural overview])
| |
| Properly dealing with key material, passphrases and the web-of-trust is outside of the scope of this document. The [https://www.gnupg.org/ GnuPG website] has a good tutorial on GnuPG.
| |
| After 31 December 2017 GnuPG version 2.0.x is no longer supported and [https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-announce/2017q3/000413.html shall not be used anymore]. Use the new long term version 2.1 instead.
| |
| | |
| === Hashing ===
| |
| Avoid SHA-1 by preferring better hashing methods. GnuPG. Edit <tt>$HOME/.gnupg/gpg.conf</tt>:
| |
| Listing 32. Digest selection in GnuPG
| |
| personal-digest-preferences SHA512

| |
| default-preference-list AES256 CAMELLIA256 AES192 CAMELLIA192 AES CAMELLIA128 TWOFISH SHA512 SHA384 SHA256 BZIP2 ZLIB ZIP
| |
| | |
| === Key Generation ===
| |
| Because of lack of forward secrecy (see: [https://bettercrypto.org/#pfs [pfs]]) in OpenPGP it is preferable to use large asymmetric keys for long term communication protection. A RSA key of <tt>4096</tt> bits should provide enough confidentiality for the next 10 years (see: [https://www.keylength.com/ Cryptographic Key Length Recommendation]).

| == Instant Messaging Systems ==

| | |
| === General server configuration recommendations ===
| |
| For servers, we mostly recommend to apply what’s proposed by the [https://github.com/stpeter/manifesto Peter’s manifesto].
| |
| In short:* require the use of TLS for both client-to-server and server-to-server connections
| |
| * prefer or require TLS cipher suites that enable forward secrecy
| |
| * deploy certificates issued by well-known and widely-deployed certification authorities (CAs)
| |
| The last point being out-of-scope for this section, we will only cover the first two points.

This enforces our cipher order when negotiating which ciphers are used, as the cipher order of [https://blog.thijsalkema.de/blog/2013/09/02/the-state-of-tls-on-xmpp-3/ some clients chooses weak ciphers] over stronger ciphers.
| |
| |-
| |
| |}
| |
| Starting with version 15.03[[https://bettercrypto.org/#_footnotedef_17 17]], it is possible to use custom Diffie-Hellman-Parameters. This allows us to negotiate stronger Diffie-Hellman-keys, and also helps us avoid problems with using common [https://weakdh.org/ weak Diffie-Hellman-Parameters]. You can generate your own parameter file by running:
| |
| $ openssl dhparam -out dhparams.pem 4096
| |
| By default, ejabberd provides an administration website (look for the ejabberd_http module). Enable TLS protection for it like this:

| * Debian Wheezy 2.1.10-4+deb7u1
| |
| | |
| ==== Settings ====
| |
| Older versions of ejabberd use a different configuration file syntax. In order to be compliant with the manifesto, you should adapt your configuration[[https://bettercrypto.org/#_footnotedef_18 18]] as follows:
| |
| | |
| {listen,
| |
| [
| |
| {5222, ejabberd_c2s, [

| | |
| {s2s_use_starttls, required_trusted}.
| |
| | |
| {s2s_certfile, "/etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.pem"}.
| |
| | |
| ==== Additional settings ====
| |
| Older versions of ejabberd (< 2.0.0) need to be [https://hyperstruct.net/2007/06/20/installing-the-startcom-ssl-certificate-in-ejabberd/ patched] to be able to parse all of the certificates in the CA chain. Specifying a custom cipher string is only possible starting with version 13.12 (see configuration for version 14.12 above).

| ==== How to test ====
| |
| [https://xmpp.net/ IM Observatory] is a useful website to test Jabber server configurations.
| |
| | |
| === Chat privacy - Off-the-Record Messaging (OTR) ===
| |
| [https://otr.cypherpunks.ca/Protocol-v3-4.1.1.html Off-the-Record Messaging Protocol] works on top of the Jabber protocol. It adds to popular chat clients (Adium, Pidgin…) the following properties for encrypted chats:* Authentication
| |
| * Integrity
| |
| * Confidentiality
| |
| * Forward secrecy
| |
| It basically uses Diffie-Hellman, AES and SHA1. Communicating over an insecure instant messaging network, OTR can be used for end to end encryption.
| |
| There are no specific configurations required but the protocol itself is worth to be mentioned.
| |
| | |
| === Charybdis ===
| |
| There are numerous implementations of IRC servers. In this section, we choose ''Charybdis'' which serves as basis for [https://github.com/freenode/ircd-seven ircd-seven], developed and used by freenode. Freenode is actually the biggest IRC network[[https://bettercrypto.org/#_footnotedef_19 19]]. ''Charybdis'' is part of the ''Debian'' & ''Ubuntu'' distributions.

| |
| };
| |
| | |
| === SILC ===
| |
| [http://www.silcnet.org/ SILC] is instant messaging protocol publicly released in 2000. SILC is a per-default [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SILC_(protocol) secure chat protocol] thanks to a generalized usage of symmetric encryption. Keys are generated by the server meaning that if compromised, communication could be compromised.
| |
| The protocol is not really popular anymore.

| == Proxy Solutions ==
| |
| Within enterprise networks and corporations with increased levels of paranoia or at least some defined security requirements it is common '''not''' to allow direct connections to the public internet.
| |
| For this reason proxy solutions are deployed on corporate networks to intercept and scan the traffic for potential threats within sessions.
| |
| For encrypted traffic there are four options:* Block the connection because it cannot be scanned for threats.
| |
| * Bypass the threat-mitigation and pass the encrypted session to the client, which results in a situation where malicious content is transferred directly to the client without visibility to the security system.
| |
| * Intercept (i.e. terminate) the session at the proxy, scan there and re-encrypt the session towards the client (effectively MITM).
| |
| * Deploy special Certificate Authorities to enable Deep Packet Inspection on the wire.
| |
| While the latest solution might be the most "up to date", it arises a new front in the context of this paper, because the most secure part of a client’s connection could only be within the corporate network, if the proxy-server handles the connection to the destination server in an insecure manner.
| |
| Conclusion: Don’t forget to check your proxy solutions SSL-capabilities. Also do so for your reverse proxies!
| |
| | |
| === Bluecoat / Symantec ===
| |
| Blue Coat Systems was a well-known manufacturer of enterprise proxy appliances. In 2016 it was acquired by Symantec. The products are now known as Symantec ProxySG and Advanced Secure Gateway (ASG).
| |
| The description below is for the original Blue Coat SG Operating System (SGOS).
| |
| BlueCoat Proxy SG Appliances can be used as forward and reverse proxies. The reverse proxy feature is rather under-developed, and while it is possible and supported, there only seems to be limited use of this feature "in the wild" - nonetheless there are a few cipher suites to choose from, when enabling SSL features.

| ==== Additional Settings ====
| |
| | |
| ==== Enable NPN Support: ====
| |
| bind *:443 ssl crt server.pem npn "http/1.1,http/1.0"
| |
| Append the npn command in the frontend configuration of HAProxy.
| |
| | |
| ==== Enable OCSP stapling: ====
| |
| HAProxy supports since version 1.5.0 OCSP stapling. To enable it you have to generate the OCSP singing file in the same folder, with the same name as your certificate file plus the extension .ocsp. (e.g. your certificate file is named server.crt then the OCSP file have to be named server.crt.oscp)To generate the OCSP file use these commands:
| |
| $ openssl x509 -in your.certificate.crt -noout -ocsp_uri # <- get your ocsp uri
| |
| $ openssl ocsp -noverify -issuer ca.root.cert.crt -cert your.certificate.crt -url "YOUR OCSP URI" -respout your.certificate.crt.ocsp
| |
| Reload HAProxy and now OCSP stapling should be enabled.Note: This OCSP signature file is only valid for a limited time. The simplest way of updating this file is by using cron.daily or something similar.
| |
| | |
| ==== Enable HPKP: ====
| |
| Get certificate informations:
| |
| $ openssl x509 -in server.crt -pubkey -noout | openssl rsa -pubin -outform der | openssl dgst -sha256 -binary | base64
| |
| Then you append the returned string in the HAProxy configuration. Add the following line to the backend configuration:
| |
| rspadd Public-Key-Pins:\ pin-sha256="YOUR_KEY";\ max-age=15768000;\ includeSubDomains
| |
| Reload HAProxy and HPKP should now be enabled.Note: Keep in mind to generate a backup key in case of problems with your primary key file.

| == Kerberos ==
| |
| This section discusses various implementations of the Kerberos 5 authentication protocol on Unix and Unix-like systems as well as on Microsoft Windows.
| |
| | |
| === Overview ===
| |
| Kerberos provides mutual authentication of two communicating parties, e.g. a user using a network service. The authentication process is mediated by a trusted third party, the Kerberos key distribution centre (KDC). Kerberos implements secure single-sign-on across a large number of network protocols and operating systems. Optionally, Kerberos can be used to create encrypted communications channels between the user and service.
| |
| | |
| ==== Recommended reading ====
| |
| An understanding of the Kerberos protocol is necessary for properly implementing a Kerberos setup. Also, in the following section some knowledge about the inner workings of Kerberos is assumed. Therefore we strongly recommend reading the excellent introduction [http://gost.isi.edu/publications/kerberos-neuman-tso.html Kerberos: An Authentication Service for Computer Networks] first.
| |
| No further overview over Kerberos terminology and functions will be provided, for a discussion and a selection of relevant papers refer to [https://web.mit.edu/kerberos/papers.html Kerberos Papers and Documentation].
| |
| The Kerberos protocol over time has been extended with a variety of extensions and Kerberos implementations provide additional services in addition to the aforementioned KDC. All discussed implementations provide support for trust relations between multiple realms, an administrative network service (kerberos-adm, kadmind) as well as a password changing service (kpasswd). Sometimes, alternative database backends for ticket storage, X.509 and SmartCard authentication are provided. Of those, only administrative and password changing services will be discussed.

| |
| || Protocol versions
| |
| Only the Kerberos 5 protocol and implementation will be discussed. Kerberos 4 is obsolete, insecure and its use is strongly discouraged.
| |
| |-
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| ==== Providing a suitable Setup for secure Kerberos Operations ====
| |
| The aim of Kerberos is to unify authentication across a wide range of services, for many different users and use cases and on many computer platforms. The resulting complexity and attack surface make it necessary to carefully plan and continuously evaluate the security of the overall ecosystem in which Kerberos is deployed. Several assumptions are made on which the security of a Kerberos infrastructure relies:* Every KDC in a realm needs to be trustworthy. The KDC’s principal database must not become known to or changed by an attacker. The contents of the principal database enables the attacker to impersonate any user or service in the realm.
| |
| * Synchronisation between KDCs must be secure, reliable and frequent. An attacker that is able to intercept or influence synchronisation messages obtains or influences parts of the principal database, enabling impersonation of affected principals. Unreliable or infrequent synchronisation enlarges the window of vulnerability after disabling principals or changing passwords that have been compromised or lost.
| |
| * KDCs must be available. An attacker is able to inhibit authentication for services and users by cutting off their access to a KDC.
| |
| * Users’ passwords must be secure. Since Kerberos is a single-sign-on mechanism, a single password may enable an attacker to access a large number of services.
| |
| * Service keytabs need to be secured against unauthorized access similarly to SSL/TLS server certificates. Obtaining a service keytab enables an attacker to impersonate a service.
| |
| * DNS infrastructure must be secure and reliable. Hosts that provide services need consistent forward and reverse DNS entries. The identity of a service is tied to its DNS name, similarly the realm a client belongs to as well as the KDC, kpasswd and kerberos-adm servers may be specified in DNS TXT and SRV records. Spoofed DNS entries will cause denial-of-service situations and might endanger ([https://bettercrypto.org/#bibliography-default-MITKrbDoc:realm_config i_mit_Realm configuration decisions_, 2013]) the security of a Kerberos realm.
| |
| * Clients and servers in Kerberos realms need to have synchronized clocks. Tickets in Kerberos are created with a limited, strictly enforced lifetime. This limits an attacker’s window of opportunity for various attacks such as the decryption of tickets in sniffed network traffic or the use of tickets read from a client computer’s memory. Kerberos will refuse tickets with old timestamps or timestamps in the future. This would enable an attacker with access to a systems clock to deny access to a service or all users logging in from a specific host.
| |
| Therefore we suggest:* Secure all KDCs at least as strongly as the most secure service in the realm.
| |
| * Dedicate physical (i.e. non-VM) machines to be KDCs. Do not run any services on those machines beyond the necessary KDC, kerberos-adm, kpasswd and kprop services.
| |
| * Restrict physical and administrative access to the KDCs as severely as possible. E.g. ssh access should be limited to responsible adminstrators and trusted networks.
| |
| * Encrypt and secure the KDCs backups.
| |
| * Replicate your primary KDC to at least one secondary KDC.
| |
| * Prefer easy-to-secure replication (propagation in Kerberos terms) methods.Especially avoid LDAP replication and database backends. LDAP enlarges the attack surface of your KDC and facilitates unauthorized access to the principal database e.g. by ACL misconfiguration.
| |
| * Use DNSSEC. If that is not possible, at least ensure that all servers and clients in a realm use a trustworthy DNS server contacted via secure network links.
| |
| * Use NTP on a trustworthy server via secure network links.
| |
| * Avoid services that require the user to enter a password which is then checked against Kerberos. Prefer services that are able to use authentication via service tickets, usually not requiring the user to enter a password except for the initial computer login to obtain a ticket-granting-ticket (TGT). This limits the ability of attackers to spy out passwords through compromised services.
| |
| | |
| === Implementations ===
| |
| | |
| ==== Cryptographic Algorithms in Kerberos Implementations ====
| |
| The encryption algorithms (commonly abbreviated ’etypes’ or ’enctypes’) in Kerberos exchanges are subject to negotiation between both sides of an exchange. Similarly, a ticket granting ticket (TGT), which is usually obtained on initial login, can only be issued if the principal contains a version of the password encrypted with an etype that is available both on the KDC and on the client where the login happens.
| |
| Therefore, to ensure interoperability among components using different implementations as shown in [https://bettercrypto.org/#kerberos_enctypes Commonly supported Kerberos encryption types by implementation. Algorithm names], a selection of available etypes is necessary. However, the negotiation process may be subject to downgrade attacks and weak hashing algorithms endanger integrity protection and password security.
| |
| | |
| {| style="border-spacing:0;width:17cm;"
| |
| |- style="border:none;padding:0.049cm;"
| |
| ||
| |
| || This means that the <tt>des3-cbc-sha1-kd</tt> or <tt>rc4-hmac algorithms</tt> should not be used, except if there is a concrete and unavoidable need to do so. Other <tt>des3-*</tt>, <tt>des-*</tt> and <tt>rc4-hmac-exp</tt> algorithms should never be used.
| |
| |-

| |
| Along the lines of cipher string B, the following etypes are recommended: <tt>aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96</tt> <tt>camellia256-cts-cmac</tt> <tt>aes128-cts-hmac-sha1-96</tt> <tt>camellia128-cts-cmac</tt>.

| ==== Existing installations ====
| |
| The configuration samples below assume new installations without preexisting principals.
| |
| For existing installations:* Existing setups should be migrated to a new master key if the current master key is using a weak enctype.
| |
| * When changing the list of supported_enctypes, principals where all enctypes are no longer supported will cease to work.
| |
| * Be aware that Kerberos 4 is obsolete and should not be used.
| |
| * Principals with weak enctypes pose an increased risk for password bruteforce attacks if an attacker gains access to the database.
| |
| To get rid of principals with unsupported or weak enctypes, a password change is usually the easiest way. Service principals can simply be recreated.

| ===== Upgrading a MIT krb5 database to a new enctype =====
| |
| To check if an upgrade is necessary, execute the following on the KDC in question:
| |
| root@kdc.example.com:~# kdb5_util list_mkeys
| |
| Master keys for Principal: K/M@EXAMPLE.COM
| |
| KVNO: 1, Enctype: des-cbc-crc, Active on: Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 UTC 1970 *
| |
| | |
| {| style="border-spacing:0;width:15.658cm;"
| |
| |- style="border:none;padding:0.049cm;"
| |
| ||
| |
| || In this case, an old unsafe enctype is in use as indicated by the star following the key line.
| |
| |-
| |
| |}
| |
| To upgrade, proceed as follows. First create a new master key for the database with the appropriate enctype. You will be prompted for a master password that can later be used to decrypt the database. A stash-file containing this encryption key will also be written.
| |
| root@kdc.example.com:~# kdb5_util add_mkey -s -e aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96
| |
| Creating new master key for master key principal 'K/M@EXAMPLE.COM'
| |
| You will be prompted for a new database Master Password.
| |
| It is important that you NOT FORGET this password.
| |
| Enter KDC database master key:
| |
| Re-enter KDC database master key to verify:
| |
| Verify that the new master key has been successfully created. Note the key version number (KVNO) of the new master key, in this case 2.
| |
| root@kdc.example.com:~# kdb5_util list_mkeys
