=== 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.

Note that we are setting the SSL option <tt>cipher_server_preference</tt>. 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:
    port: 5280
    module: ejabberd_http
    web_admin: true
    http_poll: true
    http_bind: true
    captcha: true
    certfile: "/path/to/ssl.pem"
    tls: true
 
==== Tested with Versions ====
* 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, [
        {access, c2s},
        {shaper, c2s_shaper},
        {max_stanza_size, 65536},
        starttls,
        starttls_required,
        {certfile, "/etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.pem"}
        ]},
    ]}.
 
{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.

    ssl_cert = "etc/test.cert";
    ssl_dh_params = "etc/dh.pem";
    # set ssld_count as number of cores - 1
    ssld_count = 1;
};
listen {
    sslport = 6697;
};
 
=== 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.

The same protocols are available for forward proxy settings and should be adjusted accordingly: In your local policy file add the following section:
<ssl>
    DENY server.connection.negotiated_ssl_version=(SSLV2, SSLV3)
Disabling protocols and ciphers in a forward proxy environment could lead to unexpected results on certain (misconfigured?) webservers (i.e. ones accepting only SSLv2/3 protocol connections)

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.
 
{| class="wikitable sortable options"
|-
||
|| 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.

==== 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.
 
==== MIT krb5 ====
 
===== KDC configuration =====
In <tt>/etc/krb5kdc/kdc.conf</tt> set the following in your realm’s configuration:
 
; Encryption flags for MIT krb5 KDC
supported_enctypes = aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96:normal camellia256-cts-cmac:normal aes128-cts-hmac-sha1-96:normal camellia128-cts-cmac:normal
default_principal_flags = +preauth
In <tt>/etc/krb5.conf</tt> set in the <tt>[libdefaults]</tt> section:
 
; Encryption flags for MIT krb5 client
[libdefaults]
allow_weak_crypto = false
permitted_enctypes= aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96 camellia256-cts-cmac aes128-cts-hmac -sha1-96 camellia128-cts-cmac
default_tkt_enctypes= aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96 camellia256-cts-cmac aes128-cts-hmac-sha1-96 camellia128-cts-cmac
default_tgs_enctypes= aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96 camellia256-cts-cmac aes128-cts-hmac-sha1-96 camellia128-cts-cmac
 
===== 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 *
 
{| class="wikitable sortable options"
|-
||
|| 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
Master keys for Principal: K/M@EXAMPLE.COM
KVNO: 2, Enctype: aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96, No activate time set
KVNO: 1, Enctype: des-cbc-crc, Active on: Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 UTC 1970 *
Set the new master key as the active master key by giving its KVNO. The active master key will be indicated by an asterisk in the master key list.
root@kdc.example.com:~# kdb5_util use_mkey 2
root@kdc.example.com:~# kdb5_util list_mkeys
Master keys for Principal: K/M@EXAMPLE.COM
KVNO: 2, Enctype: aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96, Active on: Wed May 13 14:14:18 UTC 2015 *
KVNO: 1, Enctype: des-cbc-crc, Active on: Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 UTC 1970
Reencrypt all principals to the new master key.
root@kdc.example.com:~# kdb5_util update_princ_encryption
Re-encrypt all keys not using master key vno 2?
(type 'yes' to confirm)? yes
504 principals processed: 504 updated, 0 already current
After verifying that everything still works as desired it is possible to remove unused master keys.
root@kdc.example.com:~# kdb5_util purge_mkeys
Will purge all unused master keys stored in the 'K/M@EXAMPLE.COM' principal, are you sure?
(type 'yes' to confirm)? yes
OK, purging unused master keys from 'K/M@EXAMPLE.COM'...
Purging the following master key(s) from K/M@EXAMPLE.COM:
KVNO: 1
1 key(s) purged.
