-
-2. Introduction
-
- The SSH transport layer is a secure low level transport protocol. It
- provides strong encryption, cryptographic host authentication, and
- integrity protection.
-
- Authentication in this protocol level is host-based; this protocol
- does not perform user authentication. A higher level protocol for
- user authentication can be designed on top of this protocol.
-
- The protocol has been designed to be simple, flexible, to allow
- parameter negotiation, and to minimize the number of round-trips.
- Key exchange method, public key algorithm, symmetric encryption
- algorithm, message authentication algorithm, and hash algorithm are
- all negotiated. It is expected that in most environments, only 2
- round-trips will be needed for full key exchange, server
- authentication, service request, and acceptance notification of
- service request. The worst case is 3 round-trips.
-
-3. Conventions Used in This Document
-
- The keywords "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT",
- and "MAY" that appear in this document are to be interpreted as
- described in [RFC2119].
-
- The used data types and terminology are specified in the architecture
- document [SSH-ARCH].
-
- The architecture document also discusses the algorithm naming
- conventions that MUST be used with the SSH protocols.
-
-4. Connection Setup
-
- SSH works over any 8-bit clean, binary-transparent transport. The
- underlying transport SHOULD protect against transmission errors as
- such errors cause the SSH connection to terminate.
-
-
-

-
-
- The client initiates the connection.
-
-4.1 Use over TCP/IP
-
- When used over TCP/IP, the server normally listens for connections on
- port 22. This port number has been registered with the IANA, and has
- been officially assigned for SSH.
-
-4.2 Protocol Version Exchange
-
- When the connection has been established, both sides MUST send an
- identification string of the form "SSH-protoversion-softwareversion
- comments", followed by carriage return and newline characters (ASCII
- 13 and 10, respectively). Both sides MUST be able to process
- identification strings without carriage return character. No null
- character is sent. The maximum length of the string is 255
- characters, including the carriage return and newline.
-
- The part of the identification string preceding carriage return and
- newline is used in the Diffie-Hellman key exchange (see Section
- Section 7).
-
- The server MAY send other lines of data before sending the version
- string. Each line SHOULD be terminated by a carriage return and
- newline. Such lines MUST NOT begin with "SSH-", and SHOULD be
- encoded in ISO-10646 UTF-8 [RFC2279] (language is not specified).
- Clients MUST be able to process such lines; they MAY be silently
- ignored, or MAY be displayed to the client user; if they are
- displayed, control character filtering discussed in [SSH-ARCH] SHOULD
- be used. The primary use of this feature is to allow TCP-wrappers to
- display an error message before disconnecting.
-
- Version strings MUST consist of printable US-ASCII characters, not
- including whitespaces or a minus sign (-). The version string is
- primarily used to trigger compatibility extensions and to indicate
- the capabilities of an implementation. The comment string should
- contain additional information that might be useful in solving user
- problems.
-
- The protocol version described in this document is 2.0.
-
- Key exchange will begin immediately after sending this identifier.
- All packets following the identification string SHALL use the binary
- packet protocol, to be described below.
-
-4.3 Compatibility With Old SSH Versions
-
- During the transition period, it is important to be able to work in a
-
-
-
-Ylonen & Moffat, Editor Expires March 31, 2004 [Page 4]
-
-Internet-Draft SSH Transport Layer Protocol Oct 2003
-
-
- way that is compatible with the installed SSH clients and servers
- that use an older version of the protocol. Information in this
- section is only relevant for implementations supporting compatibility
- with SSH versions 1.x. There is no standards track or informational
- draft available that defines the SSH 1.x protocol. The only known
- documentation of the 1.x protocol is contained in README files that
- are shipped along with the source code.
-
-4.3.1 Old Client, New Server
-
- Server implementations MAY support a configurable "compatibility"
- flag that enables compatibility with old versions. When this flag is
- on, the server SHOULD identify its protocol version as "1.99".
- Clients using protocol 2.0 MUST be able to identify this as identical
- to "2.0". In this mode the server SHOULD NOT send the carriage
- return character (ASCII 13) after the version identification string.
-
- In the compatibility mode the server SHOULD NOT send any further data
- after its initialization string until it has received an
- identification string from the client. The server can then determine
- whether the client is using an old protocol, and can revert to the
- old protocol if required. In the compatibility mode, the server MUST
- NOT send additional data before the version string.
-
- When compatibility with old clients is not needed, the server MAY
- send its initial key exchange data immediately after the
- identification string.
-
-4.3.2 New Client, Old Server
-
- Since the new client MAY immediately send additional data after its
- identification string (before receiving server's identification), the
- old protocol may already have been corrupted when the client learns
- that the server is old. When this happens, the client SHOULD close
- the connection to the server, and reconnect using the old protocol.
-
-5. Binary Packet Protocol
-
- Each packet is in the following format:
-
- uint32 packet_length
- byte padding_length
- byte[n1] payload; n1 = packet_length - padding_length - 1
- byte[n2] random padding; n2 = padding_length
- byte[m] mac (message authentication code); m = mac_length
-
- packet_length
-
-
-
-
-Ylonen & Moffat, Editor Expires March 31, 2004 [Page 5]
-
-Internet-Draft SSH Transport Layer Protocol Oct 2003
-
-
- The length of the packet (bytes), not including MAC or the
- packet_length field itself.
-
- padding_length
- Length of padding (bytes).
-
- payload
- The useful contents of the packet. If compression has been
- negotiated, this field is compressed. Initially, compression
- MUST be "none".
-
- random padding
- Arbitrary-length padding, such that the total length of
- (packet_length || padding_length || payload || padding) is a
- multiple of the cipher block size or 8, whichever is larger.
- There MUST be at least four bytes of padding. The padding
- SHOULD consist of random bytes. The maximum amount of padding
- is 255 bytes.
-
- mac
- Message authentication code. If message authentication has
- been negotiated, this field contains the MAC bytes. Initially,
- the MAC algorithm MUST be "none".
-
-
- Note that length of the concatenation of packet length, padding
- length, payload, and padding MUST be a multiple of the cipher block
- size or 8, whichever is larger. This constraint MUST be enforced
- even when using stream ciphers. Note that the packet length field is
- also encrypted, and processing it requires special care when sending
- or receiving packets.
-
- The minimum size of a packet is 16 (or the cipher block size,
- whichever is larger) bytes (plus MAC); implementations SHOULD decrypt
- the length after receiving the first 8 (or cipher block size,
- whichever is larger) bytes of a packet.
-
-5.1 Maximum Packet Length
-
- All implementations MUST be able to process packets with uncompressed
- payload length of 32768 bytes or less and total packet size of 35000
- bytes or less (including length, padding length, payload, padding,
- and MAC.). The maximum of 35000 bytes is an arbitrary chosen value
- larger than uncompressed size. Implementations SHOULD support longer
- packets, where they might be needed, e.g. if an implementation wants
- to send a very large number of certificates. Such packets MAY be
- sent if the version string indicates that the other party is able to
- process them. However, implementations SHOULD check that the packet
-
-
-
-Ylonen & Moffat, Editor Expires March 31, 2004 [Page 6]
-
-Internet-Draft SSH Transport Layer Protocol Oct 2003
-
-
- length is reasonable for the implementation to avoid
- denial-of-service and/or buffer overflow attacks.
-
-5.2 Compression
-
- If compression has been negotiated, the payload field (and only it)
- will be compressed using the negotiated algorithm. The length field
- and MAC will be computed from the compressed payload. Encryption will
- be done after compression.
-
- Compression MAY be stateful, depending on the method. Compression
- MUST be independent for each direction, and implementations MUST
- allow independently choosing the algorithm for each direction.
-
- The following compression methods are currently defined:
-
- none REQUIRED no compression
- zlib OPTIONAL ZLIB (LZ77) compression
-
- The "zlib" compression is described in [RFC1950] and in [RFC1951].
- The compression context is initialized after each key exchange, and
- is passed from one packet to the next with only a partial flush being
- performed at the end of each packet. A partial flush means that the
- current compressed block is ended and all data will be output. If the
- current block is not a stored block, one or more empty blocks are
- added after the current block to ensure that there are at least 8
- bits counting from the start of the end-of-block code of the current
- block to the end of the packet payload.
-
- Additional methods may be defined as specified in [SSH-ARCH].
-
-5.3 Encryption
-
- An encryption algorithm and a key will be negotiated during the key
- exchange. When encryption is in effect, the packet length, padding
- length, payload and padding fields of each packet MUST be encrypted
- with the given algorithm.
-
- The encrypted data in all packets sent in one direction SHOULD be
- considered a single data stream. For example, initialization vectors
- SHOULD be passed from the end of one packet to the beginning of the
- next packet. All ciphers SHOULD use keys with an effective key length
- of 128 bits or more.
-
- The ciphers in each direction MUST run independently of each other,
- and implementations MUST allow independently choosing the algorithm
- for each direction (if multiple algorithms are allowed by local
- policy).
-

-
-
- The following ciphers are currently defined:
-
- 3des-cbc REQUIRED three-key 3DES in CBC mode
- blowfish-cbc OPTIONALi Blowfish in CBC mode
- twofish256-cbc OPTIONAL Twofish in CBC mode,
- with 256-bit key
- twofish-cbc OPTIONAL alias for "twofish256-cbc" (this
- is being retained for
- historical reasons)
- twofish192-cbc OPTIONAL Twofish with 192-bit key
- twofish128-cbc OPTIONAL Twofish with 128-bit key
- aes256-cbc OPTIONAL AES (Rijndael) in CBC mode,
- with 256-bit key
- aes192-cbc OPTIONAL AES with 192-bit key
- aes128-cbc RECOMMENDED AES with 128-bit key
- serpent256-cbc OPTIONAL Serpent in CBC mode, with
- 256-bit key
- serpent192-cbc OPTIONAL Serpent with 192-bit key
- serpent128-cbc OPTIONAL Serpent with 128-bit key
- arcfour OPTIONAL the ARCFOUR stream cipher
- idea-cbc OPTIONAL IDEA in CBC mode
- cast128-cbc OPTIONAL CAST-128 in CBC mode
- none OPTIONAL no encryption; NOT RECOMMENDED
-
- The "3des-cbc" cipher is three-key triple-DES
- (encrypt-decrypt-encrypt), where the first 8 bytes of the key are
- used for the first encryption, the next 8 bytes for the decryption,
- and the following 8 bytes for the final encryption. This requires 24
- bytes of key data (of which 168 bits are actually used). To
- implement CBC mode, outer chaining MUST be used (i.e., there is only
- one initialization vector). This is a block cipher with 8 byte
- blocks. This algorithm is defined in [FIPS-46-3]
-
- The "blowfish-cbc" cipher is Blowfish in CBC mode, with 128 bit keys
- [SCHNEIER]. This is a block cipher with 8 byte blocks.
-
- The "twofish-cbc" or "twofish256-cbc" cipher is Twofish in CBC mode,
- with 256 bit keys as described [TWOFISH]. This is a block cipher with
- 16 byte blocks.
-
- The "twofish192-cbc" cipher. Same as above but with 192-bit key.
-
- The "twofish128-cbc" cipher. Same as above but with 128-bit key.
-
- The "aes256-cbc" cipher is AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)
- [FIPS-197], formerly Rijndael, in CBC mode. This version uses 256-bit
- key.

-
- The "aes128-cbc" cipher. Same as above but with 128-bit key.
-
- The "serpent256-cbc" cipher in CBC mode, with 256-bit key as
- described in the Serpent AES submission.
-
- The "serpent192-cbc" cipher. Same as above but with 192-bit key.
-
- The "serpent128-cbc" cipher. Same as above but with 128-bit key.
-
- The "arcfour" is the Arcfour stream cipher with 128 bit keys. The
- Arcfour cipher is believed to be compatible with the RC4 cipher
- [SCHNEIER]. RC4 is a registered trademark of RSA Data Security Inc.
- Arcfour (and RC4) has problems with weak keys, and should be used
- with caution.
-
- The "idea-cbc" cipher is the IDEA cipher in CBC mode [SCHNEIER].
-
- The "cast128-cbc" cipher is the CAST-128 cipher in CBC mode
- [RFC2144].
-
- The "none" algorithm specifies that no encryption is to be done.
- Note that this method provides no confidentiality protection, and it
- is not recommended. Some functionality (e.g. password
- authentication) may be disabled for security reasons if this cipher
- is chosen.
-
- Additional methods may be defined as specified in [SSH-ARCH].
-
-5.4 Data Integrity
-
- Data integrity is protected by including with each packet a message
- authentication code (MAC) that is computed from a shared secret,
- packet sequence number, and the contents of the packet.
-
- The message authentication algorithm and key are negotiated during
- key exchange. Initially, no MAC will be in effect, and its length
- MUST be zero. After key exchange, the selected MAC will be computed
- before encryption from the concatenation of packet data:
-
- mac = MAC(key, sequence_number || unencrypted_packet)
-
- where unencrypted_packet is the entire packet without MAC (the length
- fields, payload and padding), and sequence_number is an implicit
- packet sequence number represented as uint32. The sequence number is
- initialized to zero for the first packet, and is incremented after
- every packet (regardless of whether encryption or MAC is in use). It
-
-
-
-Ylonen & Moffat, Editor Expires March 31, 2004 [Page 9]
-
-Internet-Draft SSH Transport Layer Protocol Oct 2003
-
-
- is never reset, even if keys/algorithms are renegotiated later. It
- wraps around to zero after every 2^32 packets. The packet sequence
- number itself is not included in the packet sent over the wire.
-
- The MAC algorithms for each direction MUST run independently, and
- implementations MUST allow choosing the algorithm independently for
- both directions.
-
- The MAC bytes resulting from the MAC algorithm MUST be transmitted
- without encryption as the last part of the packet. The number of MAC
- bytes depends on the algorithm chosen.
-
- The following MAC algorithms are currently defined:
-
- hmac-sha1 REQUIRED HMAC-SHA1 (digest length = key
- length = 20)
- hmac-sha1-96 RECOMMENDED first 96 bits of HMAC-SHA1 (digest
- length = 12, key length = 20)
- hmac-md5 OPTIONAL HMAC-MD5 (digest length = key
- length = 16)
- hmac-md5-96 OPTIONAL first 96 bits of HMAC-MD5 (digest
- length = 12, key length = 16)
- none OPTIONAL no MAC; NOT RECOMMENDED
-
- Figure 1
-
- The "hmac-*" algorithms are described in [RFC2104] The "*-n" MACs use
- only the first n bits of the resulting value.
-
- The hash algorithms are described in [SCHNEIER].
-
- Additional methods may be defined as specified in [SSH-ARCH].
-
-5.5 Key Exchange Methods
-
- The key exchange method specifies how one-time session keys are
- generated for encryption and for authentication, and how the server
- authentication is done.
-
- Only one REQUIRED key exchange method has been defined:
-
- diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 REQUIRED
-
- This method is described later in this document.
-
- Additional methods may be defined as specified in [SSH-ARCH].

-
-
-5.6 Public Key Algorithms
-
- This protocol has been designed to be able to operate with almost any
- public key format, encoding, and algorithm (signature and/or
- encryption).
-
- There are several aspects that define a public key type:
- o Key format: how is the key encoded and how are certificates
- represented. The key blobs in this protocol MAY contain
- certificates in addition to keys.
- o Signature and/or encryption algorithms. Some key types may not
- support both signing and encryption. Key usage may also be
- restricted by policy statements in e.g. certificates. In this
- case, different key types SHOULD be defined for the different
- policy alternatives.
- o Encoding of signatures and/or encrypted data. This includes but is
- not limited to padding, byte order, and data formats.
-
- The following public key and/or certificate formats are currently defined:
-
- ssh-dss REQUIRED sign Raw DSS Key
- ssh-rsa RECOMMENDED sign Raw RSA Key
- x509v3-sign-rsa OPTIONAL sign X.509 certificates (RSA key)
- x509v3-sign-dss OPTIONAL sign X.509 certificates (DSS key)
- spki-sign-rsa OPTIONAL sign SPKI certificates (RSA key)
- spki-sign-dss OPTIONAL sign SPKI certificates (DSS key)
- pgp-sign-rsa OPTIONAL sign OpenPGP certificates (RSA key)
- pgp-sign-dss OPTIONAL sign OpenPGP certificates (DSS key)
-
- Additional key types may be defined as specified in [SSH-ARCH].
-
- The key type MUST always be explicitly known (from algorithm
- negotiation or some other source). It is not normally included in
- the key blob.
-
- Certificates and public keys are encoded as follows:
-
- string certificate or public key format identifier
- byte[n] key/certificate data
-
- The certificate part may have be a zero length string, but a public
- key is required. This is the public key that will be used for
- authentication; the certificate sequence contained in the certificate
- blob can be used to provide authorization.
-
- Public key / certifcate formats that do not explicitly specify a
- signature format identifier MUST use the public key / certificate
- format identifier as the signature identifier.
-
-
-
-Ylonen & Moffat, Editor Expires March 31, 2004 [Page 11]
-
-Internet-Draft SSH Transport Layer Protocol Oct 2003
-
-
- Signatures are encoded as follows:
- string signature format identifier (as specified by the
- public key / cert format)
- byte[n] signature blob in format specific encoding.
-
-
- The "ssh-dss" key format has the following specific encoding:
-
- string "ssh-dss"
- mpint p
- mpint q
- mpint g
- mpint y
-
- Here the p, q, g, and y parameters form the signature key blob.
-
- Signing and verifying using this key format is done according to the
- Digital Signature Standard [FIPS-186] using the SHA-1 hash. A
- description can also be found in [SCHNEIER].
-
- The resulting signature is encoded as follows:
-
- string "ssh-dss"
- string dss_signature_blob
-
- dss_signature_blob is encoded as a string containing r followed by s
- (which are 160 bits long integers, without lengths or padding,
- unsigned and in network byte order).
-
- The "ssh-rsa" key format has the following specific encoding:
-
- string "ssh-rsa"
- mpint e
- mpint n
-
- Here the e and n parameters form the signature key blob.
-
- Signing and verifying using this key format is done according to
- [SCHNEIER] and [PKCS1] using the SHA-1 hash.
-
- The resulting signature is encoded as follows:
-
- string "ssh-rsa"
- string rsa_signature_blob
-
- rsa_signature_blob is encoded as a string containing s (which is an
- integer, without lengths or padding, unsigned and in network byte
- order).

- The "spki-sign-rsa" method indicates that the certificate blob
- contains a sequence of SPKI certificates. The format of SPKI
- certificates is described in [RFC2693]. This method indicates that
- the key (or one of the keys in the certificate) is an RSA-key.
-
- The "spki-sign-dss". As above, but indicates that the key (or one of
- the keys in the certificate) is a DSS-key.
-
- The "pgp-sign-rsa" method indicates the certificates, the public key,
- and the signature are in OpenPGP compatible binary format
- ([RFC2440]). This method indicates that the key is an RSA-key.
-
- The "pgp-sign-dss". As above, but indicates that the key is a

-
-6. Key Exchange
-
- Key exchange begins by each side sending lists of supported
- algorithms. Each side has a preferred algorithm in each category, and
- it is assumed that most implementations at any given time will use
- the same preferred algorithm. Each side MAY guess which algorithm
- the other side is using, and MAY send an initial key exchange packet
- according to the algorithm if appropriate for the preferred method.
-
- Guess is considered wrong, if:
- o the kex algorithm and/or the host key algorithm is guessed wrong
- (server and client have different preferred algorithm), or
- o if any of the other algorithms cannot be agreed upon (the
- procedure is defined below in Section Section 6.1).
-
- Otherwise, the guess is considered to be right and the optimistically
- sent packet MUST be handled as the first key exchange packet.
-
- However, if the guess was wrong, and a packet was optimistically sent
- by one or both parties, such packets MUST be ignored (even if the
- error in the guess would not affect the contents of the initial
- packet(s)), and the appropriate side MUST send the correct initial
- packet.
-
- Server authentication in the key exchange MAY be implicit. After a
- key exchange with implicit server authentication, the client MUST
- wait for response to its service request message before sending any
- further data.
-

-
- kex_algorithms
- Key exchange algorithms were defined above. The first
- algorithm MUST be the preferred (and guessed) algorithm. If
- both sides make the same guess, that algorithm MUST be used.
- Otherwise, the following algorithm MUST be used to choose a key
- exchange method: iterate over client's kex algorithms, one at a
- time. Choose the first algorithm that satisfies the following
- conditions:
- + the server also supports the algorithm,
- + if the algorithm requires an encryption-capable host key,
- there is an encryption-capable algorithm on the server's
- server_host_key_algorithms that is also supported by the
- client, and
- + if the algorithm requires a signature-capable host key,
- there is a signature-capable algorithm on the server's
- server_host_key_algorithms that is also supported by the
- client.
- + If no algorithm satisfying all these conditions can be
- found, the connection fails, and both sides MUST disconnect.

-
- server_host_key_algorithms
- List of the algorithms supported for the server host key. The
- server lists the algorithms for which it has host keys; the

- (There MAY be multiple host keys for a host, possibly with
- different algorithms.)
-
- Some host keys may not support both signatures and encryption
- (this can be determined from the algorithm), and thus not all
- host keys are valid for all key exchange methods.
-
- Algorithm selection depends on whether the chosen key exchange
- algorithm requires a signature or encryption capable host key.
- It MUST be possible to determine this from the public key
- algorithm name. The first algorithm on the client's list that
- satisfies the requirements and is also supported by the server
- MUST be chosen. If there is no such algorithm, both sides MUST
- disconnect.
-
- encryption_algorithms
- Lists the acceptable symmetric encryption algorithms in order
- of preference. The chosen encryption algorithm to each

- This is a comma-separated list of language tags in order of
- preference [RFC3066]. Both parties MAY ignore this list. If
- there are no language preferences, this list SHOULD be empty.
- Language tags SHOULD NOT be present unless they are known to be
- needed by the sending party.
-
- first_kex_packet_follows
- Indicates whether a guessed key exchange packet follows. If a
- guessed packet will be sent, this MUST be TRUE. If no guessed
- packet will be sent, this MUST be FALSE.
-
- After receiving the SSH_MSG_KEXINIT packet from the other side,
- each party will know whether their guess was right. If the
- other party's guess was wrong, and this field was TRUE, the
- next packet MUST be silently ignored, and both sides MUST then
- act as determined by the negotiated key exchange method. If
- the guess was right, key exchange MUST continue using the
- guessed packet.
-
- After the KEXINIT packet exchange, the key exchange algorithm is run.
- It may involve several packet exchanges, as specified by the key
- exchange method.
-
-6.2 Output from Key Exchange
-
- The key exchange produces two values: a shared secret K, and an
- exchange hash H. Encryption and authentication keys are derived from
- these. The exchange hash H from the first key exchange is
- additionally used as the session identifier, which is a unique
- identifier for this connection. It is used by authentication methods
- as a part of the data that is signed as a proof of possession of a
- private key. Once computed, the session identifier is not changed,
- even if keys are later re-exchanged.
-
-
- Each key exchange method specifies a hash function that is used in
- the key exchange. The same hash algorithm MUST be used in key
- derivation. Here, we'll call it HASH.
-
-
- Encryption keys MUST be computed as HASH of a known value and K as
- follows:
-
-
-
-
-Ylonen & Moffat, Editor Expires March 31, 2004 [Page 16]
-
-Internet-Draft SSH Transport Layer Protocol Oct 2003
-
-
- o Initial IV client to server: HASH(K || H || "A" || session_id)
- (Here K is encoded as mpint and "A" as byte and session_id as raw
- data."A" means the single character A, ASCII 65).
- o Initial IV server to client: HASH(K || H || "B" || session_id)
- o Encryption key client to server: HASH(K || H || "C" || session_id)
- o Encryption key server to client: HASH(K || H || "D" || session_id)
- o Integrity key client to server: HASH(K || H || "E" || session_id)
- o Integrity key server to client: HASH(K || H || "F" || session_id)
-
- Key data MUST be taken from the beginning of the hash output. 128
- bits (16 bytes) MUST be used for algorithms with variable-length
- keys. The only variable key length algorithm defined in this document
- is arcfour). For other algorithms, as many bytes as are needed are
- taken from the beginning of the hash value. If the key length needed
- is longer than the output of the HASH, the key is extended by
- computing HASH of the concatenation of K and H and the entire key so
- far, and appending the resulting bytes (as many as HASH generates) to
- the key. This process is repeated until enough key material is
- available; the key is taken from the beginning of this value. In
- other words:
-
- K1 = HASH(K || H || X || session_id) (X is e.g. "A")
- K2 = HASH(K || H || K1)
- K3 = HASH(K || H || K1 || K2)
- ...
- key = K1 || K2 || K3 || ...
-
- This process will lose entropy if the amount of entropy in K is
- larger than the internal state size of HASH.
-
-6.3 Taking Keys Into Use
-
- Key exchange ends by each side sending an SSH_MSG_NEWKEYS message.
- This message is sent with the old keys and algorithms. All messages
- sent after this message MUST use the new keys and algorithms.
-
-
- When this message is received, the new keys and algorithms MUST be
- taken into use for receiving.
-
-
- This message is the only valid message after key exchange, in
- addition to SSH_MSG_DEBUG, SSH_MSG_DISCONNECT and SSH_MSG_IGNORE
- messages. The purpose of this message is to ensure that a party is
- able to respond with a disconnect message that the other party can
- understand if something goes wrong with the key exchange.
- Implementations MUST NOT accept any other messages after key exchange
- before receiving SSH_MSG_NEWKEYS.

-7. Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange
-
- The Diffie-Hellman key exchange provides a shared secret that can not
- be determined by either party alone. The key exchange is combined
- with a signature with the host key to provide host authentication.
-
-
- In the following description (C is the client, S is the server; p is
- a large safe prime, g is a generator for a subgroup of GF(p), and q
- is the order of the subgroup; V_S is S's version string; V_C is C's
- version string; K_S is S's public host key; I_C is C's KEXINIT
- message and I_S S's KEXINIT message which have been exchanged before
- this part begins):
-
-
- 1. C generates a random number x (1 < x < q) and computes e = g^x
- mod p. C sends "e" to S.
-
- 2. S generates a random number y (0 < y < q) and computes f = g^y
- mod p. S receives "e". It computes K = e^y mod p, H = hash(V_C
- || V_S || I_C || I_S || K_S || e || f || K) (these elements are
- encoded according to their types; see below), and signature s on
- H with its private host key. S sends "K_S || f || s" to C. The
- signing operation may involve a second hashing operation.
-
- 3. C verifies that K_S really is the host key for S (e.g. using
- certificates or a local database). C is also allowed to accept
- the key without verification; however, doing so will render the
- protocol insecure against active attacks (but may be desirable
- for practical reasons in the short term in many environments). C
- then computes K = f^x mod p, H = hash(V_C || V_S || I_C || I_S ||
- K_S || e || f || K), and verifies the signature s on H.
-
- Either side MUST NOT send or accept e or f values that are not in the
- range [1, p-1]. If this condition is violated, the key exchange
- fails.
-
-
- This is implemented with the following messages. The hash algorithm
- for computing the exchange hash is defined by the method name, and is
- called HASH. The public key algorithm for signing is negotiated with
- the KEXINIT messages.
-
- First, the client sends the following:
-
-
-
-
-Ylonen & Moffat, Editor Expires March 31, 2004 [Page 18]
-
-Internet-Draft SSH Transport Layer Protocol Oct 2003
-
-
- byte SSH_MSG_KEXDH_INIT
- mpint e
-
-
- The server responds with the following:
-
- byte SSH_MSG_KEXDH_REPLY
- string server public host key and certificates (K_S)
- mpint f
- string signature of H
-
- The hash H is computed as the HASH hash of the concatenation of the
- following:
-
- string V_C, the client's version string (CR and NL excluded)
- string V_S, the server's version string (CR and NL excluded)
- string I_C, the payload of the client's SSH_MSG_KEXINIT
- string I_S, the payload of the server's SSH_MSG_KEXINIT
- string K_S, the host key
- mpint e, exchange value sent by the client
- mpint f, exchange value sent by the server
- mpint K, the shared secret
-
- This value is called the exchange hash, and it is used to
- authenticate the key exchange. The exchange hash SHOULD be kept
- secret.
-
-
- The signature algorithm MUST be applied over H, not the original
- data. Most signature algorithms include hashing and additional
- padding. For example, "ssh-dss" specifies SHA-1 hashing; in that
- case, the data is first hashed with HASH to compute H, and H is then
- hashed with SHA-1 as part of the signing operation.
-
-7.1 diffie-hellman-group1-sha1
-
- The "diffie-hellman-group1-sha1" method specifies Diffie-Hellman key
- exchange with SHA-1 as HASH, and Oakley group 14 [RFC3526] (2048-bit
- MODP Group). It is included below in hexadecimal and decimal.
-
- The prime p is equal to 2^1024 - 2^960 - 1 + 2^64 * floor( 2^894 Pi +
- 129093 ). Its hexadecimal value is:

- FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF C90FDAA2 2168C234 C4C6628B 80DC1CD1

- 467627007.
-
- The generator used with this prime is g = 2. The group order q is (p
- - 1) / 2.
-
-8. Key Re-Exchange
-
- Key re-exchange is started by sending an SSH_MSG_KEXINIT packet when
- not already doing a key exchange (as described in Section Section
- 6.1). When this message is received, a party MUST respond with its
- own SSH_MSG_KEXINIT message except when the received SSH_MSG_KEXINIT
- already was a reply. Either party MAY initiate the re-exchange, but
- roles MUST NOT be changed (i.e., the server remains the server, and
- the client remains the client).
-
-
- Key re-exchange is performed using whatever encryption was in effect
- when the exchange was started. Encryption, compression, and MAC
- methods are not changed before a new SSH_MSG_NEWKEYS is sent after
- the key exchange (as in the initial key exchange). Re-exchange is
- processed identically to the initial key exchange, except for the
- session identifier that will remain unchanged. It is permissible to
- change some or all of the algorithms during the re-exchange. Host
- keys can also change. All keys and initialization vectors are
- recomputed after the exchange. Compression and encryption contexts
- are reset.
-
-
- It is recommended that the keys are changed after each gigabyte of
- transmitted data or after each hour of connection time, whichever
- comes sooner. However, since the re-exchange is a public key
- operation, it requires a fair amount of processing power and should
- not be performed too often.
-
-
- More application data may be sent after the SSH_MSG_NEWKEYS packet
- has been sent; key exchange does not affect the protocols that lie
- above the SSH transport layer.

-
-9. Service Request
-
- After the key exchange, the client requests a service. The service is
- identified by a name. The format of names and procedures for defining
- new names are defined in [SSH-ARCH].
-
-
- Currently, the following names have been reserved:
-
- ssh-userauth
- ssh-connection
-
- Similar local naming policy is applied to the service names, as is
- applied to the algorithm names; a local service should use the
- "servicename@domain" syntax.
-
- byte SSH_MSG_SERVICE_REQUEST
- string service name
-
- If the server rejects the service request, it SHOULD send an
- appropriate SSH_MSG_DISCONNECT message and MUST disconnect.
-
-
- When the service starts, it may have access to the session identifier
- generated during the key exchange.
-
-
- If the server supports the service (and permits the client to use
- it), it MUST respond with the following:
-
- byte SSH_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT
- string service name
-
- Message numbers used by services should be in the area reserved for
- them (see Section 6 in [SSH-ARCH]). The transport level will
- continue to process its own messages.
-
-
- Note that after a key exchange with implicit server authentication,
- the client MUST wait for response to its service request message
- before sending any further data.
-
