Secure Frame (SFrame)
draft-ietf-sframe-enc-07
Abstract
This document describes the Secure Frame (SFrame) end-to-end
encryption and authentication mechanism for media frames in a
multiparty conference call, in which central media servers (selective
forwarding units or SFUs) can access the media metadata needed to
make forwarding decisions without having access to the actual media.
The proposed mechanism differs from the Secure Real-Time Protocol
(SRTP) in that it is independent of RTP (thus compatible with non-RTP
media transport) and can be applied to whole media frames in order to
be more bandwidth efficient.

1. Introduction
Modern multi-party video call systems use Selective Forwarding Unit
(SFU) servers to efficiently route media streams to call endpoints
based on factors such as available bandwidth, desired video size,
codec support, and other factors. An SFU typically does not need
access to the media content of the conference, allowing for the media
to be "end-to-end" encrypted so that it cannot be decrypted by the
Omara, et al. Expires 1 September 2024 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft SFrame February 2024
SFU. In order for the SFU to work properly, though, it usually needs
to be able to access RTP metadata and RTCP feedback messages, which
is not possible if all RTP/RTCP traffic is end-to-end encrypted.
As such, two layers of encryption and authentication are required:
1. Hop-by-hop (HBH) encryption of media, metadata, and feedback
messages between the the endpoints and SFU
2. End-to-end (E2E) encryption (E2EE) of media between the endpoints
The Secure Real-Time Protocol (SRTP) is already widely used for HBH
encryption [RFC3711]. The SRTP "double encryption" scheme defines a
way to do E2E encryption in SRTP [RFC8723]. Unfortunately, this
scheme has poor efficiency and high complexity, and its entanglement
with RTP makes it unworkable in several realistic SFU scenarios.
This document proposes a new E2EE protection scheme known as SFrame,
specifically designed to work in group conference calls with SFUs.
SFrame is a general encryption framing that can be used to protect
media payloads, agnostic of transport.
2. Terminology
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP
14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.
MAC: Message Authentication Code
E2EE: End to End Encryption
HBH: Hop By Hop
We use "Selective Forwarding Unit (SFU)" and "media stream" in a less
formal sense than in [RFC7656]. An SFU is a selective switching
function for media payloads, and a media stream a sequence of media
payloads, in both cases regardless of whether those media payloads
are transported over RTP or some other protocol.
3. Goals
SFrame is designed to be a suitable E2EE protection scheme for
conference call media in a broad range of scenarios, as outlined by
the following goals:
Omara, et al. Expires 1 September 2024 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft SFrame February 2024
1. Provide a secure E2EE mechanism for audio and video in conference
calls that can be used with arbitrary SFU servers.
2. Decouple media encryption from key management to allow SFrame to
be used with an arbitrary key management system.
3. Minimize packet expansion to allow successful conferencing in as
many network conditions as possible.
4. Independence from the underlying transport, including use in non-
RTP transports, e.g., WebTransport [I-D.ietf-webtrans-overview].
5. When used with RTP and its associated error resilience
mechanisms, i.e., RTX and FEC, require no special handling for
RTX and FEC packets.
6. Minimize the changes needed in SFU servers.
7. Minimize the changes needed in endpoints.
8. Work with the most popular audio and video codecs used in
conferencing scenarios.
4. SFrame
This document defines an encryption mechanism that provides effective
E2EE, is simple to implement, has no dependencies on RTP, and
minimizes encryption bandwidth overhead. This section describes how
the mechanism works, including details of how applications utilize
SFrame for media protection, as well as the actual mechanics of E2EE
for protecting media.
4.1. Application Context
SFrame is a general encryption framing, intended to be used as an
E2EE layer over an underlying HBH-encrypted transport such as SRTP or
QUIC [RFC3711][I-D.ietf-moq-transport].
The scale at which SFrame encryption is applied to media determines
the overall amount of overhead that SFrame adds to the media stream,
as well as the engineering complexity involved in integrating SFrame
into a particular environment. Two patterns are common: Either using
SFrame to encrypt whole media frames (per-frame) or individual
transport-level media payloads (per-packet).
For example, Figure 1 shows a typical media sender stack that takes
media from some source, encodes it into frames, divides those frames
into media packets, and then sends those payloads in SRTP packets.
Omara, et al. Expires 1 September 2024 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft SFrame February 2024
The receiver stack performs the reverse operations, reassembling
frames from SRTP packets and decoding. Arrows indicate two different
ways that SFrame protection could be integrated into this media
stack, to encrypt whole frames or individual media packets.
Applying SFrame per-frame in this system offers higher efficiency,
but may require a more complex integration in environments where
depacketization relies on the content of media packets. Applying
SFrame per-packet avoids this complexity, at the cost of higher
bandwidth consumption. Some quantitative discussion of these trade-
offs is provided in Appendix C.
As noted above, however, SFrame is a general media encapsulation, and
can be applied in other scenarios. The important thing is that the
sender and receivers of an SFrame-encrypted object agree on that
object's semantics. SFrame does not provide this agreement; it must
be arranged by the application.

Figure 1
Like SRTP, SFrame does not define how the keys used for SFrame are
exchanged by the parties in the conference. Keys for SFrame might be
distributed over an existing E2E-secure channel (see Section 5.1), or
derived from an E2E-secure shared secret (see Section 5.2). The key
management system MUST ensure that each key used for encrypting media
is used by exactly one media sender, in order to avoid reuse of
nonces.

4.2. SFrame Ciphertext
An SFrame ciphertext comprises an SFrame header followed by the
output of an AEAD encryption of the plaintext [RFC5116], with the
header provided as additional authenticated data (AAD).
The SFrame header is a variable-length structure described in detail
in Section 4.3. The structure of the encrypted data and
authentication tag are determined by the AEAD algorithm in use.

+--- Encrypted Portion Authenticated Portion ---+
When SFrame is applied per-packet, the payload of each packet will be
an SFrame ciphertext. When SFrame is applied per-frame, the SFrame
ciphertext representing an encrypted frame will span several packets,
with the header appearing in the first packet and the authentication
tag in the last packet. It is the responsibility of the application
to reassemble an encrypted frame from individual packets, accounting
for packet loss and reordering as necessary.
4.3. SFrame Header
The SFrame header specifies two values from which encryption
parameters are derived:
* A Key ID (KID) that determines which encryption key should be used
* A counter (CTR) that is used to construct the nonce for the
encryption
Omara, et al. Expires 1 September 2024 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft SFrame February 2024
Applications MUST ensure that each (KID, CTR) combination is used for
exactly one SFrame encryption operation. A typical approach to
achieving this guarantee is outlined in Section 9.1.

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+------------+------------+
|X| K |Y| C | KID... | CTR... |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+------------+------------+
Figure 2: SFrame header
The SFrame Header has the overall structure shown in Figure 2. The
first byte is a "config byte", with the following fields:
Extended Key Id Flag (X, 1 bit): Indicates if the K field contains
the key id or the Key ID length.
Key or Key Length (K, 3 bits): If the X flag is set to 0, this field
contains the Key ID. If the X flag is set to 1, then it contains
the length of the Key ID, minus one.
Extended Counter Flag (Y, 1 bit): Indicates if the C field contains
the counter or the counter length.
Counter or Counter Length (C, 3 bits): This field contains the
counter (CTR) if the Y flag is set to 0, or the counter length,
minus one, if set to 1.
The Key ID and Counter fields are encoded as compact unsigned
integers in network (big-endian) byte order. If the value of one of
these fields is in the range 0-7, then the value is carried in the
corresponding bits of the config byte (K or C) and the corresponding
flag (X or Y) is set to zero. Otherwise, the value MUST be encoded
with the minimum number of bytes required and appended after the
configuration byte, with the Key ID first and Counter second. The
header field (K or C) is set to the number of bytes in the encoded
value, minus one. The value 000 represents a length of 1, 001 a
length of 2, etc. This allows a 3-bit length field to represent the
value lengths 1-8.
The SFrame header can thus take one of the four forms shown in
Figure 3, depending on which of the X and Y flags are set.

4.4. Encryption Schema
SFrame encryption uses an AEAD encryption algorithm and hash function
defined by the cipher suite in use (see Section 4.5). We will refer
to the following aspects of the AEAD and the hash algorithm below:
* AEAD.Encrypt and AEAD.Decrypt - The encryption and decryption
functions for the AEAD. We follow the convention of RFC 5116
[RFC5116] and consider the authentication tag part of the
ciphertext produced by AEAD.Encrypt (as opposed to a separate
field as in SRTP [RFC3711]).
* AEAD.Nk - The size in bytes of a key for the encryption algorithm
* AEAD.Nn - The size in bytes of a nonce for the encryption
algorithm
* AEAD.Nt - The overhead in bytes of the encryption algorithm
(typically the size of a "tag" that is added to the plaintext)
* AEAD.Nka - For cipher suites using the compound AEAD described in
Section 4.5.1, the size in bytes of a key for the underlying AES-
CTR algorithm
* Hash.Nh - The size in bytes of the output of the hash function

Internet-Draft SFrame February 2024
4.4.1. Key Selection
Each SFrame encryption or decryption operation is premised on a
single secret base_key, which is labeled with an integer KID value
signaled in the SFrame header.
The sender and receivers need to agree on which base_key should be
used for a given KID. Moreover, senders and receivers need to agree
on whether a base_key will be used for encryption or decryption only.
The process for provisioning base_key values and their KID values is
beyond the scope of this specification, but its security properties
will bound the assurances that SFrame provides. For example, if
SFrame is used to provide E2E security against intermediary media
nodes, then SFrame keys need to be negotiated in a way that does not
make them accessible to these intermediaries.
For each known KID value, the client stores the corresponding
symmetric key base_key. For keys that can be used for encryption,
the client also stores the next counter value CTR to be used when
encrypting (initially 0).
When encrypting a plaintext, the application specifies which KID is
to be used, and the counter is incremented after successful
encryption. When decrypting, the base_key for decryption is selected
from the available keys using the KID value in the SFrame Header.
A given base_key MUST NOT be used for encryption by multiple senders.
Such reuse would result in multiple encrypted frames being generated
with the same (key, nonce) pair, which harms the protections provided
by many AEAD algorithms. Implementations MUST mark each base_key as
usable for encryption or decryption, never both.
Note that the set of available keys might change over the lifetime of
a real-time session. In such cases, the client will need to manage
key usage to avoid media loss due to a key being used to encrypt
before all receivers are able to use it to decrypt. For example, an
application may make decryption-only keys available immediately, but
delay the use of keys for encryption until (a) all receivers have
acknowledged receipt of the new key or (b) a timeout expires.
4.4.2. Key Derivation
SFrame encryption and decryption use a key and salt derived from the
base_key associated to a KID. Given a base_key value, the key and
salt are derived using HKDF [RFC5869] as follows:
Omara, et al. Expires 1 September 2024 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft SFrame February 2024
def derive_key_salt(KID, base_key):
sframe_secret = HKDF-Extract("", base_key)
sframe_key_label = "SFrame 1.0 Secret key " + KID + cipher_suite
sframe_key = HKDF-Expand(sframe_secret, info, AEAD.Nk)
sframe_salt_label = "SFrame 1.0 Secret salt " + KID + cipher_suite
sframe_salt = HKDF-Expand(sframe_secret, info, AEAD.Nn)
return sframe_key, sframe_salt
In the derivation of sframe_secret:
* The + operator represents concatenation of byte strings.
* The KID value is encoded as an 8-byte big-endian integer, not the
compressed form used in the SFrame header.
* The cipher_suite value is a 2-byte big-endian integer representing
the cipher suite in use (see Section 8.1).
The hash function used for HKDF is determined by the cipher suite in
use.
4.4.3. Encryption
SFrame encryption uses the AEAD encryption algorithm for the cipher
suite in use. The key for the encryption is the sframe_key and the
nonce is formed by XORing the sframe_salt with the current counter,
encoded as a big-endian integer of length AEAD.Nn.
The encryptor forms an SFrame header using the CTR, and KID values
provided. The encoded header is provided as AAD to the AEAD
encryption operation, together with application-provided metadata
about the encrypted media (see Section 9.4).
Omara, et al. Expires 1 September 2024 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft SFrame February 2024
def encrypt(CTR, KID, metadata, plaintext):
sframe_key, sframe_salt = key_store[KID]
# encode_big_endian(x, n) produces an n-byte string encoding the integer x in
# big-endian byte order.
ctr = encode_big_endian(CTR, AEAD.Nn)
nonce = xor(sframe_salt, CTR)
# encode_sframe_header produces a byte string encoding the provided KID and
# CTR values into an SFrame Header.
header = encode_sframe_header(CTR, KID)
aad = header + metadata
ciphertext = AEAD.Encrypt(sframe_key, nonce, aad, plaintext)
return header + ciphertext
For example, the metadata input to encryption allows for frame
metadata to be authenticated when SFrame is applied per-frame. After
encoding the frame and before packetizing it, the necessary media
metadata will be moved out of the encoded frame buffer, to be sent in
some channel visible to the SFU (e.g., an RTP header extension).

4.4.4. Decryption
Before decrypting, a receiver needs to assemble a full SFrame
ciphertext. When an SFrame ciphertext may be fragmented into
multiple parts for transport (e.g., a whole encrypted frame sent in
multiple SRTP packets), the receiving client collects all the
fragments of the ciphertext, using an appropriate sequencing and
start/end markers in the transport. Once all of the required
fragments are available, the client reassembles them into the SFrame
Omara, et al. Expires 1 September 2024 [Page 14]
Internet-Draft SFrame February 2024
ciphertext, then passes the ciphertext to SFrame for decryption.
The KID field in the SFrame header is used to find the right key and
salt for the encrypted frame, and the CTR field is used to construct
the nonce. The SFrame decryption procedure is as follows:
def decrypt(metadata, sframe_ciphertext):
KID, CTR, header, ciphertext = parse_ciphertext(sframe_ciphertext)
sframe_key, sframe_salt = key_store[KID]
ctr = encode_big_endian(CTR, AEAD.Nn)
nonce = xor(sframe_salt, ctr)
aad = header + metadata
return AEAD.Decrypt(sframe_key, nonce, aad, ciphertext)
If a ciphertext fails to decrypt because there is no key available
for the KID in the SFrame header, the client MAY buffer the
ciphertext and retry decryption once a key with that KID is received.
If a ciphertext fails to decrypt for any other reason, the client
MUST discard the ciphertext. Invalid ciphertexts SHOULD be discarded
in a way that is indistinguishable (to an external observer) from
having processed a valid ciphertext.

4.5. Cipher Suites
Each SFrame session uses a single cipher suite that specifies the
following primitives:
* A hash function used for key derivation
Omara, et al. Expires 1 September 2024 [Page 16]
Internet-Draft SFrame February 2024
* An AEAD encryption algorithm [RFC5116] used for frame encryption,
optionally with a truncated authentication tag
This document defines the following cipher suites, with the constants
defined in Section 4.4:
+============================+====+=====+====+====+====+
| Name | Nh | Nka | Nk | Nn | Nt |
+============================+====+=====+====+====+====+
| AES_128_CTR_HMAC_SHA256_80 | 32 | 16 | 48 | 12 | 10 |
+----------------------------+----+-----+----+----+----+
| AES_128_CTR_HMAC_SHA256_64 | 32 | 16 | 48 | 12 | 8 |

+----------------------------+----+-----+----+----+----+
| AES_256_GCM_SHA512_128 | 64 | n/a | 32 | 12 | 16 |
+----------------------------+----+-----+----+----+----+
Table 1: SFrame cipher suite constants
Numeric identifiers for these cipher suites are defined in the IANA
registry created in Section 8.1.
In the suite names, the length of the authentication tag is indicated
by the last value: "_128" indicates a hundred-twenty-eight-bit tag,
"_80" indicates a eighty-bit tag, "_64" indicates a sixty-four-bit
tag and "_32" indicates a thirty-two-bit tag.
In a session that uses multiple media streams, different cipher
suites might be configured for different media streams. For example,
in order to conserve bandwidth, a session might use a cipher suite
with eighty-bit tags for video frames and another cipher suite with
thirty-two-bit tags for audio frames.
4.5.1. AES-CTR with SHA2
In order to allow very short tag sizes, we define a synthetic AEAD
function using the authenticated counter mode of AES together with
HMAC for authentication. We use an encrypt-then-MAC approach, as in
SRTP [RFC3711].
Omara, et al. Expires 1 September 2024 [Page 17]
Internet-Draft SFrame February 2024
Before encryption or decryption, encryption and authentication
subkeys are derived from the single AEAD key. The overall length of
the AEAD key is Nka + Nh, where Nka represents the key size for the
AES block cipher in use and Nh represents the output size of the hash
function (as in Table 2). The encryption subkey comprises the first
Nka bytes and the authentication subkey comprises the remaining Nh
bytes.
def derive_subkeys(sframe_key):
enc_key = sframe_key[..Nka]
auth_key = sframe_key[Nka..]
return enc_key, auth_key
The AEAD encryption and decryption functions are then composed of
individual calls to the CTR encrypt function and HMAC. The resulting
MAC value is truncated to a number of bytes Nt fixed by the cipher
suite.
def truncate(tag, n):
# Take the first `n` bytes of `tag`
return tag[..n]
def compute_tag(auth_key, nonce, aad, ct):
aad_len = encode_big_endian(len(aad), 8)
ct_len = encode_big_endian(len(ct), 8)
tag_len = encode_big_endian(Nt, 8)
auth_data = aad_len + ct_len + tag_len + nonce + aad + ct
tag = HMAC(auth_key, auth_data)
return truncate(tag, Nt)
def AEAD.Encrypt(key, nonce, aad, pt):
enc_key, auth_key = derive_subkeys(key)
initial_counter = nonce + 0x00000000 # append four zero bytes
ct = AES-CTR.Encrypt(enc_key, initial_counter, pt)
tag = compute_tag(auth_key, nonce, aad, ct)
return ct + tag
def AEAD.Decrypt(key, nonce, aad, ct):
inner_ct, tag = split_ct(ct, tag_len)
enc_key, auth_key = derive_subkeys(key)
candidate_tag = compute_tag(auth_key, nonce, aad, inner_ct)
if !constant_time_equal(tag, candidate_tag):
raise Exception("Authentication Failure")
initial_counter = nonce + 0x00000000 # append four zero bytes
return AES-CTR.Decrypt(enc_key, initial_counter, inner_ct)

5. Key Management
SFrame must be integrated with an E2E key management framework to
exchange and rotate the keys used for SFrame encryption. The key
management framework provides the following functions:
* Provisioning KID / base_key mappings to participating clients
* Updating the above data as clients join or leave
It is the responsibility of the application to provide the key
management framework, as described in Section 9.2.
5.1. Sender Keys
If the participants in a call have a pre-existing E2E-secure channel,
they can use it to distribute SFrame keys. Each client participating
in a call generates a fresh base_key value that it will use to
encrypt media. The client then uses the E2E-secure channel to send
their encryption key to the other participants.
In this scheme, it is assumed that receivers have a signal outside of
SFrame for which client has sent a given frame (e.g., an RTP SSRC).
SFrame KID values are then used to distinguish between versions of
the sender's base_key.
Key IDs in this scheme have two parts, a "key generation" and a
"ratchet step". Both are unsigned integers that begin at zero. The
key generation increments each time the sender distributes a new key
to receivers. The "ratchet step" is incremented each time the sender
ratchets their key forward for forward secrecy:
base_key[i+1] = HKDF-Expand(
HKDF-Extract("", base_key[i]),
"SFrame 1.0 Ratchet", CipherSuite.Nh)
For compactness, we do not send the whole ratchet step. Instead, we
send only its low-order R bits, where R is a value set by the
application. Different senders may use different values of R, but
each receiver of a given sender needs to know what value of R is used
by the sender so that they can recognize when they need to ratchet
(vs. expecting a new key). R effectively defines a re-ordering
window, since no more than 2^R ratchet steps can be active at a given
time. The key generation is sent in the remaining 64 - R bits of the
key ID.
KID = (key_generation << R) + (ratchet_step % (1 << R))

<---------------> <------------>
+-----------------+--------------+
| Key Generation | Ratchet Step |
+-----------------+--------------+
Figure 6: Structure of a KID in the Sender Keys scheme
The sender signals such a ratchet step update by sending with a KID
value in which the ratchet step has been incremented. A receiver who
receives from a sender with a new KID computes the new key as above.
The old key may be kept for some time to allow for out-of-order
delivery, but should be deleted promptly.
If a new participant joins in the middle of a session, they will need
to receive from each sender (a) the current sender key for that
sender and (b) the current KID value for the sender. Evicting a
participant requires each sender to send a fresh sender key to all
receivers.
It is up to the application to decide when sender keys are updated.
A sender key may be updated by sending a new base_key (updating the
key generation) or by hashing the current base_key (updating the
ratchet step). Ratcheting the key forward is useful when adding new
receivers to an SFrame-based interaction, since it assures that the
new receivers can't decrypt any media encrypted before they were
added. If a sender wishes to assure the opposite property when
removing a receiver (i.e., ensuring that the receiver can't decrypt
media after they are removed), then the sender will need to
distribute a new sender key.
5.2. MLS
The Messaging Layer Security (MLS) protocol provides group
authenticated key exchange [MLS-ARCH] [MLS-PROTO]. In principle, it
could be used to instantiate the sender key scheme above, but it can
also be used more efficiently directly.
MLS creates a linear sequence of keys, each of which is shared among
the members of a group at a given point in time. When a member joins
or leaves the group, a new key is produced that is known only to the
augmented or reduced group. Each step in the lifetime of the group
is known as an "epoch", and each member of the group is assigned an
"index" that is constant for the time they are in the group.
To generate keys and nonces for SFrame, we use the MLS exporter
function to generate a base_key value for each MLS epoch. Each
member of the group is assigned a set of KID values, so that each
Omara, et al. Expires 1 September 2024 [Page 20]
Internet-Draft SFrame February 2024
member has a unique sframe_key and sframe_salt that it uses to
encrypt with. Senders may choose any KID value within their assigned
set of KID values, e.g., to allow a single sender to send multiple
uncoordinated outbound media streams.
base_key = MLS-Exporter("SFrame 1.0 Base Key", "", AEAD.Nk)
For compactness, we do not send the whole epoch number. Instead, we
send only its low-order E bits, where E is a value set by the
application. E effectively defines a re-ordering window, since no
more than 2^E epochs can be active at a given time. Receivers MUST
be prepared for the epoch counter to roll over, removing an old epoch
when a new epoch with the same E lower bits is introduced.
Let S be the number of bits required to encode a member index in the
group, i.e., the smallest value such that group_size <= (1 << S).
The sender index is encoded in the S bits above the epoch. The
remaining 64 - S - E bits of the KID value are a context value chosen
by the sender (context value 0 will produce the shortest encoded
KID).
KID = (context << (S + E)) + (sender_index << E) + (epoch % (1 << E))

Once an SFrame stack has been provisioned with the
sframe_epoch_secret for an epoch, it can compute the required KID
values on demand (as well as the resulting SFrame keys/nonces derived
from the base_key and KID), as it needs to encrypt or decrypt for a
given member.

6. Media Considerations
6.1. Selective Forwarding Units
Selective Forwarding Units (SFUs) (e.g., those described in
Section 3.7 of [RFC7667]) receive the media streams from each
participant and select which ones should be forwarded to each of the
other participants. There are several approaches for stream
selection, but in general, the SFU needs to access metadata
associated to each frame and modify the RTP information of the
incoming packets when they are transmitted to the received
participants.
This section describes how this normal SFU modes of operation
interact with the E2EE provided by SFrame.
Omara, et al. Expires 1 September 2024 [Page 22]
Internet-Draft SFrame February 2024
6.1.1. LastN and RTP stream reuse
The SFU may choose to send only a certain number of streams based on
the voice activity of the participants. To avoid the overhead
involved in establishing new transport streams, the SFU may decide to
reuse previously existing streams or even pre-allocate a predefined
number of streams and choose in each moment in time which participant
media will be sent through it.
This means that in the same transport-level stream (e.g., an RTP
stream defined by either SSRC or MID) may carry media from different
streams of different participants. As different keys are used by
each participant for encoding their media, the receiver will be able
to verify which is the sender of the media coming within the RTP
stream at any given point in time, preventing the SFU trying to
impersonate any of the participants with another participant's media.
Note that in order to prevent impersonation by a malicious
participant (not the SFU), a mechanism based on digital signature
would be required. SFrame does not protect against such attacks.
6.1.2. Simulcast
When using simulcast, the same input image will produce N different
encoded frames (one per simulcast layer) which would be processed
independently by the frame encryptor and assigned an unique counter
for each.
6.1.3. SVC
In both temporal and spatial scalability, the SFU may choose to drop
layers in order to match a certain bitrate or forward specific media
sizes or frames per second. In order to support the SFU selectively
removing layers, the sender MUST encapsulate each layer in a
different SFrame ciphertext.
6.2. Video Key Frames
Forward Security and Post-Compromise Security require that the E2EE
keys (base keys) are updated any time a participant joins or leaves
the call.
Omara, et al. Expires 1 September 2024 [Page 23]
Internet-Draft SFrame February 2024
The key exchange happens asynchronously and on a different path than
the SFU signaling and media. So it may happen that when a new
participant joins the call and the SFU side requests a key frame, the
sender generates the E2EE frame with a key not known by the receiver,
so it will be discarded. When the sender updates his sending key
with the new key, it will send it in a non-key frame, so the receiver
will be able to decrypt it, but not decode it.
The new Receiver will then re-request a key frame, but due to sender
and SFU policies, that new key frame could take some time to be
generated.
If the sender sends a key frame after the new E2EE key is in use, the
time required for the new participant to display the video is
minimized.
Note that this issue does not arise for media streams that do not
have dependencies among frames, e.g., audio streams. In these
streams, each frame is independently decodeable, so there is never a
need to process two frames together which might be on two sides of a
key rotation.
6.3. Partial Decoding
Some codecs support partial decoding, where individual packets can be
decoded without waiting for the full frame to arrive. When SFrame is
applied per-frame, this won't be possible because the decoder cannot
access data until an entire frame has arrived and has been decrypted.
7. Security Considerations
7.1. No Header Confidentiality
SFrame provides integrity protection to the SFrame Header (the key ID
and counter values), but does not provide confidentiality protection.
Parties that can observe the SFrame header may learn, for example,
which parties are sending SFrame payloads (from KID values) and at
what rates (from CTR values). In cases where SFrame is used for end-
to-end security on top of hop-by-hop protections (e.g., running over
SRTP as described in Appendix C.5), the hop-by-hop security
mechanisms provide confidentiality protection of the SFrame header
between hops.
Omara, et al. Expires 1 September 2024 [Page 24]
Internet-Draft SFrame February 2024
7.2. No Per-Sender Authentication
SFrame does not provide per-sender authentication of media data. Any
sender in a session can send media that will be associated with any
other sender. This is because SFrame uses symmetric encryption to
protect media data, so that any receiver also has the keys required
to encrypt packets for the sender.
7.3. Key Management
Key exchange mechanism is out of scope of this document, however
every client SHOULD change their keys when new clients joins or
leaves the call for forward secrecy and post compromise security.
7.4. Replay
The handling of replay is out of the scope of this document.
However, senders MUST reject requests to encrypt multiple times with
the same key and nonce, since several AEAD algorithms fail badly in
such cases (see, e.g., Section 5.1.1 of [RFC5116]).
7.5. Risks due to Short Tags
The SFrame ciphersuites based on AES-CTR allow for the use of short
authentication tags, which bring a higher risk that an attacker will
be able to cause an SFrame receiver to accept an SFrame ciphertext of
the attacker's choosing.
Assuming that the authentication properties of the ciphersuite are
robust, the only attack that an attacker can mount is an attempt to
find an acceptable (ciphertext, tag) combination through brute force.
Such a brute-force attack will have an expected sucess rate of the
following form:
attacker_success_rate = attempts_per_second / 2^(8*Nt)
For example, a gigabit ethernet connection is able to transmit
roughly 2^20 packets per second. If an attacker saturated such a
link with guesses against a 32-bit authentication tag (Nt=4), then
the attacker would succeed on average roughly once every 2^12
seconds, or about once an hour.
In a typical SFrame usage in a real-time media application, there are
a few approaches to mitigating this risk:
Omara, et al. Expires 1 September 2024 [Page 25]
Internet-Draft SFrame February 2024
* Receivers only accept SFrame ciphertexts over HBH-secure channels
(e.g., SRTP security associations or QUIC connections). If this
is the case, only an entity that is part of such a channel can
mount the above attack.
* The expected packet rate for a media stream is very predictable
(and typically far lower than the above example). On the one
hand, attacks at this rate will succeed even less often than the
high-rate attack described above. On the other hand, the
application may use an elevated packet arrival rate as a signal of
a brute-force attack. This latter approach is common in other
settings, e.g., mitigating brute-force attacks on passwords.
* Media applications typically do not provide feedback to media
senders as to which media packets failed to decrypt. When media
quality feedback mechanisms are used, decryption failures will
typically appear as packet losses, but only at an aggregate level.
* Anti-replay mechanisms (see Section 7.4) prevent the attacker from
re-using valid ciphertexts (either observed or guessed by the
attacker). A receiver applying anti-replay controls will only
accept one valid plaintext per CTR value. Since the CTR value is
covered by SFrame authentication, an attacker has to do a fresh
search for a valid tag for every forged ciphertext, even if the
encrypted content is unchanged. In other words, when the above
brute force attack succeeds, it only allows the attacker to send a
single SFrame ciphertext; the ciphertext cannot be reused because
either it will have the same CTR value and be discarded as a
replay, or else it will have a different CTR value its tag will no
longer be valid.
Nonetheless, without these mitigations, an application that makes use
of short tags will be at heightened risk of forgery attacks. In many
cases, it is simpler to use full-size tags and tolerate slightly
higher bandwidth usage rather than add the additional defenses
necessary to safely use short tags.
8. IANA Considerations
This document requests the creation of the following new IANA
registry:
* SFrame Cipher Suites (Section 8.1)
This registry should be under a heading of "SFrame", and assignments
are made via the Specification Required policy [RFC8126].

9. Application Responsibilities
To use SFrame, an application needs to define the inputs to the
SFrame encryption and decryption operations, and how SFrame
ciphertexts are delivered from sender to receiver (including any
fragmentation and reassembly). In this section, we lay out
additional requirements that an integration must meet in order for
SFrame to operate securely.
Omara, et al. Expires 1 September 2024 [Page 27]
Internet-Draft SFrame February 2024
In general, an application using SFrame is responsible for
configuring SFrame. The application must first define when SFrame is
applied at all. When SFrame is applied, the application must define
which cipher suite is to be used. If new versions of SFrame are
defined in the future, it will be up to the application to determine
which version should be used.
This division of responsibilities is similar to the way other media
parameters (e.g., codecs) are typically handled in media
applications, in the sense that they are set up in some signaling
protocol, and then not described in the media. Applications might
find it useful to extend the protocols used for negotiating other
media parameters (e.g., SDP [RFC4566]) to also negotiate parameters
for SFrame.
9.1. Header Value Uniqueness
Applications MUST ensure that each (base_key, KID, CTR) combination
is used for at most one SFrame encryption operation. This ensures
that the (key, nonce) pairs used by the underlying AEAD algorithm are
never reused. Typically this is done by assigning each sender a KID
or set of KIDs, then having each sender use the CTR field as a
monotonic counter, incrementing for each plaintext that is encrypted.
In addition to its simplicity, this scheme minimizes overhead by
keeping CTR values as small as possible.
9.2. Key Management Framework
It is up to the application to provision SFrame with a mapping of KID
values to base_key values and the resulting keys and salts. More
importantly, the application specifies which KID values are used for
which purposes (e.g., by which senders). An application's KID
assignment strategy MUST be structured to assure the non-reuse
properties discussed in Section 9.1.
It is also up to the application to define a rotation schedule for
keys. For example, one application might have an ephemeral group for
every call and keep rotating keys when end points join or leave the
call, while another application could have a persistent group that
can be used for multiple calls and simply derives ephemeral symmetric
keys for a specific call.
Omara, et al. Expires 1 September 2024 [Page 28]
Internet-Draft SFrame February 2024
It should be noted that KID values are not encrypted by SFrame, and
are thus visible to any application-layer intermediaries that might
handle an SFrame ciphertext. If there are application semantics
included in KID values, then this information would be exposed to
intermediaries. For example, in the scheme of Section 5.1, the
number of ratchet steps per sender is exposed, and in the scheme of
Section 5.2, the number of epochs and the MLS sender ID of the SFrame
sender are exposed.
9.3. Anti-Replay
It is the responsibility of the application to handle anti-replay.
Replay by network attackers is assumed to be prevented by network-
layer facilities (e.g., TLS, SRTP). As mentioned in Section 7.4,
senders MUST reject requests to encrypt multiple times with the same
key and nonce.
It is not mandatory to implement anti-replay on the receiver side.
Receivers MAY apply time or counter based anti-replay mitigations.
For example, Section 3.3.2 of [RFC3711] specifies a counter-based
anti-replay mitigation, which could be adapted to use with SFrame,
using the CTR field as the counter.
9.4. Metadata
The metadata input to SFrame operations is pure application-specified
data. As such, it is up to the application to define what
information should go in the metadata input and ensure that it is
provided to the encryption and decryption functions at the
appropriate points. A receiver MUST NOT use SFrame-authenticated
metadata until after the SFrame decrypt function has authenticated
it, unless the purpose of such usage is to prepare an SFrame
ciphertext for SFrame decryption. Essentially, metadata may be used
"upstream of SFrame" in a processing pipeline, but only to prepare
for SFrame decryption.
For example, consider an application where SFrame is used to encrypt
audio frames that are sent over SRTP, with some application data
included in the RTP header extension. Suppose the application also
includes this application data in the SFrame metadata, so that the
SFU is allowed to read, but not modify the application data. A
receiver can use the application data in the RTP header extension as
part of the standard SRTP decryption process, since this is required
to recover the SFrame ciphertext carried in the SRTP payload.
However, the receiver MUST NOT use the application data for other
purposes before SFrame decryption has authenticated the application
data.

Appendix A. Acknowledgements
The authors wish to specially thank Dr. Alex Gouaillard as one of the
early contributors to the document. His passion and energy were key
to the design and development of SFrame.
Appendix B. Example API
*This section is not normative.*
This section describes a notional API that an SFrame implementation
might expose. The core concept is an "SFrame context", within which
KID values are meaningful. In the key management scheme described in
Section 5.1, each sender has a different context; in the scheme
described in Section 5.2, all senders share the same context.
An SFrame context stores mappings from KID values to "key contexts",
which are different depending on whether the KID is to be used for
sending or receiving (an SFrame key should never be used for both
operations). A key context tracks the key and salt associated to the
KID, and the current CTR value. A key context to be used for sending
also tracks the next CTR value to be used.
The primary operations on an SFrame context are as follows:
* *Create an SFrame context:* The context is initialized with a
ciphersuite and no KID mappings.
* *Adding a key for sending:* The key and salt are derived from the
base key, and used to initialize a send context, together with a
zero counter value.
* *Adding a key for receiving:* The key and salt are derived from
the base key, and used to initialize a send context.
* *Encrypt a plaintext:* Encrypt a given plaintext using the key for
a given KID, including the specified metadata.
* *Decrypt an SFrame ciphertext:* Decrypt an SFrame ciphertext with
the KID and CTR values specified in the SFrame Header, and the
provided metadata.
Figure 9 shows an example of the types of structures and methods that
could be used to create an SFrame API in Rust.

Appendix C. Overhead Analysis
Any use of SFrame will impose overhead in terms of the amount of
bandwidth necessary to transmit a given media stream. Exactly how
much overhead will be added depends on several factors:
* How many senders are involved in a conference (length of KID)
* How long the conference has been going on (length of CTR)
* The cipher suite in use (length of authentication tag)
* Whether SFrame is used to encrypt packets, whole frames, or some
other unit
Omara, et al. Expires 1 September 2024 [Page 33]
Internet-Draft SFrame February 2024
Overall, the overhead rate in kilobits per second can be estimated
as:
OverheadKbps = (1 + |CTR| + |KID| + |TAG|) * 8 * CTPerSecond / 1024
Here the constant value 1 reflects the fixed SFrame header; |CTR|
and |KID| reflect the lengths of those fields; |TAG| reflects the
cipher overhead; and CTPerSecond reflects the number of SFrame
ciphertexts sent per second (e.g., packets or frames per second).
In the remainder of this secton, we compute overhead estimates for a
collection of common scenarios.
C.1. Assumptions
In the below calculations, we make conservative assumptions about
SFrame overhead, so that the overhead amounts we compute here are
likely to be an upper bound on those seen in practice.
+==============+=======+============================+
| Field | Bytes | Explanation |
+==============+=======+============================+
| Fixed header | 1 | Fixed |
+--------------+-------+----------------------------+
| Key ID (KID) | 2 | >255 senders; or MLS epoch |
| | | (E=4) and >16 senders |
+--------------+-------+----------------------------+
| Counter | 3 | More than 24 hours of |
| (CTR) | | media in common cases |
+--------------+-------+----------------------------+
| Cipher | 16 | Full GCM tag (longest |
| overhead | | defined here) |
+--------------+-------+----------------------------+
Table 3
In total, then, we assume that each SFrame encryption will add 22
bytes of overhead.
We consider two scenarios, applying SFrame per-frame and per-packet.
In each scenario, we compute the SFrame overhead in absolute terms
(Kbps) and as a percentage of the base bandwidth.
C.2. Audio
In audio streams, there is typically a one-to-one relationship
between frames and packets, so the overhead is the same whether one
uses SFrame at a per-packet or per-frame level.
Omara, et al. Expires 1 September 2024 [Page 34]
Internet-Draft SFrame February 2024
The below table considers three scenarios, based on recommended
configurations of the Opus codec [RFC6716]:
* Narrow-band speech: 120ms packets, 8Kbps
* Full-band speech: 20ms packets, 32Kbps
* Full-band stereo music: 10ms packets, 128Kbps
+===============+=====+===========+===============+============+
| Scenario | fps | Base Kbps | Overhead Kbps | Overhead % |
+===============+=====+===========+===============+============+
| NB speech, | 8.3 | 8 | 1.4 | 17.9% |
| 120ms packets | | | | |
+---------------+-----+-----------+---------------+------------+
| FB speech, | 50 | 32 | 8.6 | 26.9% |
| 20ms packets | | | | |
+---------------+-----+-----------+---------------+------------+

| 10ms packets | | | | |
+---------------+-----+-----------+---------------+------------+
Table 4: SFrame overhead for audio streams
C.3. Video
Video frames can be larger than an MTU and thus are commonly split
across multiple frames. Table 5 and Table 6 show the estimated
overhead of encrypting a video stream, where SFrame is applied per-
frame and per-packet, respectively. The choices of resolution,
frames per second, and bandwidth are chosen to roughly reflect the
capabilities of modern video codecs across a range from very low to
very high quality.

+-------------+-----+-----+-----------+---------------+------------+
Table 6: SFrame overhead for a video stream encrypted per-packet
In the per-frame case, the SFrame percentage overhead approaches zero
as the quality of the video goes up, since bandwidth is driven more
by picture size than frame rate. In the per-packet case, the SFrame
percentage overhead approaches the ratio between the SFrame overhead
per packet and the MTU (here 22 bytes of SFrame overhead divided by
an assumed 1200-byte MTU, or about 1.8%).
C.4. Conferences
Real conferences usually involve several audio and video streams.
The overhead of SFrame in such a conference is the aggregate of the
overhead over all the individual streams. Thus, while SFrame incurs
a large percentage overhead on an audio stream, if the conference
also involves a video stream, then the audio overhead is likely
negligible relative to the overall bandwidth of the conference.
Omara, et al. Expires 1 September 2024 [Page 36]
Internet-Draft SFrame February 2024
For example, Table 7 shows the overhead estimates for a two person
conference where one person is sending low-quality media and the
other sending high-quality. (And we assume that SFrame is applied
per-frame.) The video streams dominate the bandwidth at the SFU, so
the total bandwidth overhead is only around 1%.
+=====================+===========+===============+============+

+=====================+===========+===============+============+
| Participant 1 audio | 8 | 1.4 | 17.9% |
+---------------------+-----------+---------------+------------+
| Participant 1 video | 45 | 1.3 | 2.9% |
+---------------------+-----------+---------------+------------+
| Participant 2 audio | 32 | 9 | 26.9% |
+---------------------+-----------+---------------+------------+
| Participant 2 video | 1500 | 5 | 0.3% |
+---------------------+-----------+---------------+------------+
| Total at SFU | 1585 | 16.5 | 1.0% |
+---------------------+-----------+---------------+------------+

C.5. SFrame over RTP
SFrame is a generic encapsulation format, but many of the
applications in which it is likely to be integrated are based on RTP.
This section discusses how an integration between SFrame and RTP
could be done, and some of the challenges that would need to be
overcome.
As discussed in Section 4.1, there are two natural patterns for
integrating SFrame into an application: applying SFrame per-frame or
per-packet. In RTP-based applications, applying SFrame per-packet
means that the payload of each RTP packet will be an SFrame
ciphertext, starting with an SFrame Header, as shown in Figure 10.
Applying SFrame per-frame means that different RTP payloads will have
different formats: The first payload of a frame will contain the
SFrame headers, and subsequent payloads will contain further chunks
of the ciphertext, as shown in Figure 11.
In order for these media payloads to be properly interpreted by
receivers, receivers will need to be configured to know which of the
above schemes the sender has applied to a given sequence of RTP
packets. SFrame does not provide a mechanism for distributing this
configuration information. In applications that use SDP for
negotiating RTP media streams [RFC4566], an appropriate extension to
SDP could provide this function.
Omara, et al. Expires 1 September 2024 [Page 37]
Internet-Draft SFrame February 2024
Applying SFrame per-frame also requires that packetization and
depacketization be done in a generic manner that does not depend on
the media content of the packets, since the content being packetized
/ depacketized will be opaque ciphertext (except for the SFrame
header). In order for such a generic packetization scheme to work
interoperably one would have to be defined, e.g., as proposed in
[I-D.codec-agnostic-rtp-payload-format].

Appendix D. Test Vectors
This section provides a set of test vectors that implementations can
use to verify that they correctly implement SFrame encryption and
decryption. In addition to test vectors for the overall process of
SFrame encryption/decryption, we also provide test vectors for header
encoding/decoding, and for AEAD encryption/decryption using the AES-
CTR construction defined in Section 4.5.1.
Omara, et al. Expires 1 September 2024 [Page 39]
Internet-Draft SFrame February 2024
All values are either numeric or byte strings. Numeric values are
represented as hex values, prefixed with 0x. Byte strings are
represented in hex encoding.
Line breaks and whitespace within values are inserted to conform to
the width requirements of the RFC format. They should be removed
before use.
These test vectors are also available in JSON format at
[TestVectors]. In the JSON test vectors, numeric values are JSON
numbers and byte string values are JSON strings containing the hex
encoding of the byte strings.
D.1. Header encoding/decoding
For each case, we provide:
* kid: A KID value
* ctr: A CTR value
* header: An encoded SFrame header
An implementation should verify that:
* Encoding a header with the KID and CTR results in the provided
header value
* Decoding the provided header value results in the provided KID and
CTR values
