Abstract:
Many different attacks have been reported as part of revelations
associated with pervasive surveillance. Some of the reported attacks
involved compromising the smart card supply chain, such as attacking
SIM card manufacturers and operators in an effort to compromise
shared secrets stored on these cards. Since the publication of those
reports, manufacturing and provisioning processes have gained much
scrutiny and have improved. However, the danger of resourceful
attackers for these systems is still a concern. Always assuming
breach such as key compromise and minimizing the impact of breach are
essential zero-trust principles.
This specification updates RFC 9048, the improved Extensible
Authentication Protocol Method for 3GPP Mobile Network Authentication
and Key Agreement (EAP-AKA'), with an optional extension. Similarly,
this specification also updates the earlier version of the EAP-AKA'
specification in RFC 5448. The extension, when negotiated, provides
Forward Secrecy for the session key generated as a part of the
authentication run in EAP-AKA'. This prevents an attacker who has
gained access to the long-term pre-shared secret in a Subscriber
Identity Module (SIM) card from being able to decrypt any past
communications. In addition, if the attacker stays merely a passive
eavesdropper, the extension prevents attacks against future sessions.
This forces attackers to use active attacks instead.
