Re: [STDS-802-11-TGAI] Resolution of CIDs from LB201 concerning key derivation



My question to the TGai regulars is:

 

Is the following

 

the context is:

     rMSK if shared key authentication is being used without PFS

     rMSK || ss if shared key authentication is being used with PFS

     ss if public key authentication is being used

 

a) complete (i.e. there are no cases other than 1) shared w/o PFS, 2) shared w/ PFS and 3) public)

b) correct (i.e. the three cases have the right context for the KDF)

 

?

 

Mark

Here is text which may address the syntactical issue in 14/0692r0.

As is my wont, I've made various other editorial changes along

the way.  I have made my best efforts to keep my understanding of

the desired technical outcome but I cannot make any strong promises.

 

11.11.2.3.1 PMK key derivation with FILS authentication

 

For PMKSA generation, the inputs to the KDF are:

     the two nonces, NSTA and NAP

     a constant label

     the EAP-RP secret result, rMSK, if shared key authentication is being used

     the Diffie-Hellman shared secret, ss, if PFS is being used or public key authentication is being used

 

The KDF produces a PMK and a PMKID which is used to uniquely identify the PMKSA. The length of the PMK shall be 256 bits, and the length of the PMKID shall be 128 bits:

 

PMKID || PMK = KDF-384(NSTA || NAP, "FILS PMKSA Derivation", context)

 

where the context is:

     rMSK if shared key authentication is being used without PFS

     rMSK || ss if shared key authentication is being used with PFS

     ss if public key authentication is being used

 

Upon completion of PMK generation, ss and rMSK, if derived, shall be irretrievably destroyed.

 

Note that I have used || for concatenation rather than |, since that

seems to be the baseline usage.  This should, if adopted, be done

in 11.11.2.3.2 too.

  Hello,

 

  I have generated resolutions for the CIDs from LB201 related to the key derivation

section 11.11.2.3. Please take a look at document 11-14/0692r0 for the submission

and text changes being proposed and document 11-14/0694r0 for the proposed

resolution spreadsheet changes. Both are on mentor.

 

  regards,

 

  Dan.
