Umgang mit Schlüsselmaterial
- Schlüsselmaterial identifiziert die kryptografischen Geheimnisse, aus denen ein Schlüssel besteht.
- Sämtliches Schlüsselmaterial muss als RESTRICTED-Daten behandelt werden
- Nur Personen mit spezieller Ausbildung und dem Bedarf an Wissen sollten Zugang zu Schlüsselmaterial haben.
- Das Schlüsselmaterial muss bei der Übertragung verschlüsselt werden.
- Schlüsselmaterial kann im Klartext gespeichert werden, aber nur mit einer angemessenen Zugangskontrolle (begrenzter Zugang).
- Dazu gehören
- OpenSSH server keys (/etc/ssh/ssh_host_*key)
- Client keys (~/.ssh/id_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa,ed25519} and ~/.ssh/identity).
Client key size and login latency
Figure out the impact on performance of using larger keys
- Such as RSA 4096 bytes keys - on the client side
- Tests
Idle, i7 4500 intel CPU
- OpenSSH_6.7p1
- OpenSSL 1.0.1l
- ed25519 server keys
The following command is ran 10 times
time ssh localhost -i .ssh/id_thekey exit
- Results
Client key | Minimum | Maximum | Average |
RSA 4096 | 120ms | 145ms | 127ms |
RSA 2048 | 120ms | 129ms | 127ms |
ed25519 | 117ms | 138ms | 120ms |
- Slower Machines
These numbers may differ on a slower machine
- This contains the complete login sequence
- Therefore is subject to variations
- Summery
- The latency differences are not significant
- It does not impact performance sufficiently

SSH Server
- SSH is used to
- remotely manage computer systems
- secururly transfer files over untrusted networks
- create "ad-hoc" virtual-private networks
OpenSSH
- OpenSSH is the most popular implementation of the SSH protocol
- It is maintained by the OpenBSD project
- portable versions are disitributed with many unix-like operating-systems and Windows Server
Tested with Version
- OpenSSH 6.6p1 (Gentoo)
- OpenSSH 6.6p1-2 on Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS
- OpenSSH 7.2p2 on Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS

Kompatibilität
- 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 [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

How to test
Connect a client with verbose logging enabled to the SSH server
$ ssh -vvv myserver.com
and observe the key exchange in the output.
Cisco ASA
Tested with Versions
- 9.1(3)
Settings
- crypto key generate rsa modulus 2048
- ssh version 2
- ssh key-exchange group dh-group14-sha1
- 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.

Cisco IOS
Tested Versions
Program Version | OS/Distribution/Version | Comment |
15.0 | IOS | |
15.1 | IOS | |
15.2 | IOS |
Settings
crypto key generate rsa modulus 4096 label SSH-KEYS ip ssh rsa keypair-name SSH-KEYS ip ssh version 2 ip ssh dh min size 2048 line vty 0 15 transport input ssh
- Same as with the ASA, also on IOS by default both SSH versions 1 and 2 are allowed and the DH-key-exchange only use a DH-group of 768 Bit.
- 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.

This guide is a basic SSH reference for all routers and switches. Pleaes refer to the specific documentation of the device and IOS version that you are configuring. |
How to test

and observe the key exchange in the output.
Ciphers and algorithms choice
- When CHACHA20 (OpenSSH 6.5+) is not available, AES-GCM (OpenSSH 6.1+) and any other algorithm using EtM (Encrypt then MAC) disclose the packet length - giving some information to the attacker.
- Only recent OpenSSH servers and client support CHACHA20.
- NIST curves (ecdh-sha2-nistp512,ecdh-sha2-nistp384,ecdh-sha2-nistp256) are listed for compatibility, but the use of curve25519 is generally preferred.
- SSH protocol 2 supports DH and ECDH key-exchange as well as forward secrecy.
- Regarding group sizes, please refer to Security/Guidelines/Key_Management.
The various algorithms supported by a particular OpenSSH version can be listed with the following commands:
$ ssh -Q cipher $ ssh -Q cipher-auth $ ssh -Q mac $ ssh -Q kex $ ssh -Q key
