+
+1. Introduction
+
+ Under the current mechanism [CLAR], the KDC must limit the ticket
+ session key enctype chosen for a given service to one it believes is
+ supported by both the client and the server. If both the client and
+ server understand a stronger enctype than is selected by the KDC,
+ they can not negotiate it. As the result, the protection of
+ application traffic is often weaker than necessary when different
+ application software that support different set of enctypes can be
+ used by the same server principal.
+
+ This document specifies an extension to Kerberos to allow clients and
+ servers to negotiate a different and possible stronger cryptosystem
+ to be used in subsequent communication.
+
+ This extension utilizes an authorization data element in the
+ authenticator of the KRB_AP_REQ message [CLAR]. The client sends the
+ list of enctypes that it supports to the server, the server then
+ informs the client its choice. The negotiated subkey is sent in the
+ KRB_AP_REP.

+
+
+3. Negotiation Protocol
+
+ If the client prefers an enctype over that of the service ticket
+ session key, then it MUST send the list of enctypes it supports
+ (including the one selected by the KDC), in decreasing preference
+ order.
+
+ The client sends the enctype list via the authorization-data of the
+ authenticator in the KRB_AP_REQ [CLAR]. A new authorization data
+ element type AD-ETYPE-NEGOTIATION (129) is defined. This
+ authorization data element itself is enclosed in the AD-IF-RELEVANT
+ container, thus a correctly implemented server that does not
+ understand this element should ignore it [CLAR]. The value of this
+ authorization element contains the DER [X60] encoding of the
+ following ASN.1 type:
+
+ EtypeList ::= SEQUENCE OF Int32
+ -- the client's proposed enctype list in decreasing
+ -- preference order, favorite choice first
+
+ If the EtypeList is present and the server prefers an enctype from
+ the client's enctype list over that of the KRB_AP_REQ authenticator
+ subkey (if that is present) or the service ticket session key, the
+ server MUST create a subkey using that enctype. This negotiated
+ subkey is sent in the subkey field of KRB_AP_REP message and it MUST
+ be used for subsequent communication.
+
+ Note that to preserve the quality of randomness provided by the KDC,
+ implementations of this protocol SHOULD consider using the service
+ ticket session key value as a source of additional entropy when
+ generating the negotiated subkey. If the KRB_AP_REQ authenticator
+ subkey is present, it MAY also be used as a source of entropy.
+
+ The policy by which the client or the server chooses an enctype
+ (i.e., how the preference order for the supported enctypes is
+ selected) is an implementation-specific local matter.

+
+
+4. Security Considerations
+
+ The client's enctype list and the server's reply enctype are part of
+ encrypted data, thus the security considerations are the same as
+ those of the Kerberos encrypted data.
+
+ In all cases, the communicating peers are exposed to the denial of
+ service threat.

+
+Appendix A. Leveraging this Enctype Negotiation in Windows SPNEGO
+ Implementations
+
+ The SPNEGO implementations in Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows
+ 2003 do not generate or verify the mechlistMIC field when it is
+ required [SPNEGOBIS].
+
+ When the SPNEGO implementations that are updated according to
+ [SPNEGOBIS], an SSPI initiator or acceptor needs to determine if the
+ peer is updated, so that it can generate the mechlistMIC token when
+ the peer can process it. With the bidirectional negotiation, the
+ updated SPNEGO implementation can achieve the following two goals:
+
+ o It can remain backward compatible with legacy implementations, if
+ local policy allows unsafe and unprotected negotiation with
+ downlevel implementations when the mechlistMIC token exchange
+ would otherwise be required by [SPNEGOBIS].
+ o The mechanism negotiation is protected according to [SPNEGOBIS]
+ when both peers are updated.
+
+ However, the updated SPNEGO implementation itself can not securely
+ inform the peer whether the local implementation is updated, thus it
+ has to obtain such information from the negotiated mechanism.
+
+ For Windows SPNEGO implementations, both the initiator and the
+ acceptor are assumed to have been updated if a "newer" [CLAR] or
+ different enctype is negotiated for use by the Kerberos GSS-API
+ mechanism.
