RFC 8645 Re-keying Mechanisms for Symmetric Keys August 2019
1. Introduction
A certain maximum amount of data can be safely encrypted when
encryption is performed under a single key. Hereinafter, this amount
will be referred to as the "key lifetime". The need for such a
limitation is dictated by the following methods of cryptanalysis:
1. Methods based on the combinatorial properties of the used block
cipher mode of operation
These methods do not depend on the underlying block cipher.
Common mode restrictions derived from such methods are of
order 2^{n/2}, where n is a block size defined in Section 3.
[Sweet32] includes an example of an attack that is based on
such methods.
2. Methods based on side-channel analysis issues
In most cases, these methods do not depend on the used
encryption modes and weakly depend on the used cipher
features. Limitations resulting from these considerations are
usually the most restrictive ones. [TEMPEST] is an example of
an attack that is based on such methods.
3. Methods based on the properties of the used block cipher
The most common methods of this type are linear and
differential cryptanalysis [LDC]. In most cases, these
methods do not depend on the used modes of operation. In the
case of secure block ciphers, bounds resulting from such
methods are roughly the same as the natural bounds of 2^n and
are dominated by the other bounds above. Therefore, they can
be excluded from the considerations here.
As a result, it is important to replace a key when the total size of
the processed plaintext under that key approaches the lifetime
limitation. A specific value of the key lifetime should be
determined in accordance with some safety margin for protocol
security and the methods outlined above.
Suppose L is a key lifetime limitation in some protocol P. For
simplicity, assume that all messages have the same length m. Hence,
the number of messages q that can be processed with a single key K
should be such that m * q <= L. This can be depicted graphically as
a rectangle with sides m and q enclosed by area L (see Figure 1).

+------------------------+
Figure 1: Graphic Display of the Key Lifetime Limitation
In practice, the amount of data that corresponds to limitation L may
not be enough. The simplest and obvious solution in this situation
is a regular renegotiation of an initial key after processing this
threshold amount of data L. However, this reduces the total
performance, since it usually entails termination of application data
transmission, additional service messages, the use of a random number
generator, and many other additional calculations, including
resource-intensive public key cryptography.
For protocols based on block ciphers or stream ciphers, a more
efficient way to increase the key lifetime is to use various
re-keying mechanisms. This specification considers re-keying
mechanisms for block ciphers only; re-keying mechanisms typical for
stream ciphers (e.g., [Pietrzak2009], [FPS2012]) are beyond the scope
of this document.
Re-keying mechanisms can be applied at the different protocol levels:
the block cipher level (this approach is known as fresh re-keying and
is described, for instance, in [FRESHREKEYING]; the block cipher mode
of operation level (see Section 6); and the protocol level above the
block cipher mode of operation (see Section 5). The usage of the
first approach is highly inefficient due to the key changing after
each message block is processed. Moreover, fresh re-keying
mechanisms can change the block cipher internal structure and,
consequently, can require an additional security analysis for each
particular block cipher. As a result, this approach depends on
particular primitive properties and cannot be applied to any
arbitrary block cipher without additional security analysis.
Therefore, fresh re-keying mechanisms go beyond the scope of this
document.
Thus, this document contains the list of recommended re-keying
mechanisms that can be used in the symmetric encryption schemes based
on the block ciphers. These mechanisms are independent from the
Smyshlyaev Informational [Page 5]
RFC 8645 Re-keying Mechanisms for Symmetric Keys August 2019
particular block cipher specification, and their security properties
rely only on the standard block cipher security assumption.
This specification presents two basic approaches to extending the
lifetime of a key while avoiding renegotiation, which were introduced
in [AAOS2017]:
1. External re-keying
External re-keying is performed by a protocol, and it is
independent of the underlying block cipher and the mode of
operation. External re-keying can use parallel and serial
constructions. In the parallel case, data processing keys K^1,
K^2, ... are generated directly from the initial key K
independently of each other. In the serial case, every data-
processing key depends on the state that is updated after the
generation of each new data-processing key.
As a generalization of external parallel re-keying, an external
tree-based mechanism can be considered. It is specified in
Section 5.2.3 and can be viewed as the tree generalization in
[GGM]. Similar constructions are used in the one-way tree
mechanism ([OWT]) and [AESDUKPT] standard.
2. Internal re-keying
Internal re-keying is built into the mode, and it depends heavily
on the properties of the mode of operation and the block size.
The re-keying approaches extend the key lifetime for a single initial
key by allowing the leakages to be limited (via side channels) and by
improving the combinatorial properties of the used block cipher mode
of operation.
In practical applications, re-keying can be useful for protocols that
need to operate in hostile environments or under restricted resource
conditions (e.g., those that require lightweight cryptography, where
ciphers have a small block size that imposes strict combinatorial
limitations). Moreover, mechanisms that use external or internal
re-keying may provide some protection against possible future attacks
(by limiting the number of plaintext-ciphertext pairs that an
adversary can collect) and some properties of forward or backward
security (meaning that past or future data-processing keys remain
secure even if the current key is compromised; see [AbBell] for more
details). External or internal re-keying can be used in network
protocols as well as in the systems for data-at-rest encryption.
Smyshlyaev Informational [Page 6]
RFC 8645 Re-keying Mechanisms for Symmetric Keys August 2019
Depending on the concrete protocol characteristics, there might be
situations in which both external and internal re-keying mechanisms
(see Section 7) can be applied. For example, a similar approach was
used in Taha's tree construction (see [TAHA]).
Note that there are key-updating (key regression) algorithms (e.g.,
[FKK2005] and [KMNT2003]) that are called "re-keying" as well, but
they pursue goals other than increasing the key lifetime. Therefore,
key regression algorithms are excluded from the considerations here.
This document represents the consensus of the Crypto Forum Research
Group (CFRG).

4. Choosing Constructions and Security Parameters
External re-keying is an approach assuming that a key is transformed
after encrypting a limited number of entire messages. The external
re-keying method is chosen at the protocol level, regardless of the
underlying block cipher or the encryption mode. External re-keying
is recommended for protocols that process relatively short messages
or protocols that have a way to divide a long message into manageable
pieces. Through external re-keying, the number of messages that can
be securely processed with a single initial key K is substantially
increased without a loss of message length.
External re-keying has the following advantages
1. It increases the lifetime of an initial key by increasing the
number of messages processed with this key.
2. It has minimal impact on performance when the number of messages
processed under one initial key is sufficiently large.
3. It provides forward and backward security of data-processing
keys.
However, the use of external re-keying has the following
disadvantage: in cases with restrictive key lifetime limitations, the
message sizes can become obstructive due to the impossibility of
processing sufficiently large messages, so it may be necessary to
perform additional fragmentation at the protocol level. For example,
if the key lifetime L is 1 GB and the message length m = 3 GB, then
this message cannot be processed as a whole, and it should be divided
into three fragments that will be processed separately.
Internal re-keying is an approach assuming that a key is transformed
during each separate message processing. Such procedures are
integrated into the base modes of operations, so every internal
re-keying mechanism is defined for the particular operation mode and
the block size of the used cipher. Internal re-keying is recommended
for protocols that process long messages: the size of each single
message can be substantially increased without loss in the number of
messages that can be securely processed with a single initial key.
Internal re-keying has the following advantages:
1. It increases the lifetime of an initial key by increasing the
size of the messages processed with one initial key.
2. It has minimal impact on performance.
Smyshlyaev Informational [Page 9]
RFC 8645 Re-keying Mechanisms for Symmetric Keys August 2019
3. Internal re-keying mechanisms without a master key do not affect
short-message transformation at all.
4. It is transparent (works like any mode of operation): it does not
require changes of initialization vectors (IVs) and a restart of
MACing.
However, the use of internal re-keying has the following
disadvantages:
1. a specific method must not be chosen independently of a mode of
operation.
2. internal re-keying mechanisms without a master key do not provide
backward security of data-processing keys.
Any block cipher modes of operations with internal re-keying can be
jointly used with any external re-keying mechanisms. Such joint
usage increases both the number of messages processed with one
initial key and their maximum possible size.
If the adversary has access to the data-processing interface, the use
of the same cryptographic primitives both for data-processing and
re-keying transformation decreases the code size but can lead to some
possible vulnerabilities (the possibility of mounting a chosen-
plaintext attack may lead to the compromise of the following keys).
This vulnerability can be eliminated by using different primitives
for data processing and re-keying, e.g., block cipher for data
processing and hash for re-keying (see Section 5.2.2 and
Section 5.3.2). However, in this case, the security of the whole
scheme cannot be reduced to standard notions like a pseudorandom
function (PRF) or pseudorandom permutation (PRP), so security
estimations become more difficult and unclear.
Summing up the abovementioned issues briefly:
1. If a protocol assumes processing of long records (e.g., [CMS]),
internal re-keying should be used. If a protocol assumes
processing of a significant number of ordered records, which can
be considered as a single data stream (e.g., [TLS], [SSH]),
internal re-keying may also be used.
2. For protocols that allow out-of-order delivery and lost records
(e.g., [DTLS], [ESP]), external re-keying should be used as, in
this case, records cannot be considered as a single data stream.
If the records are also long enough, internal re-keying should
also be used during each separate message processing.
Smyshlyaev Informational [Page 10]
RFC 8645 Re-keying Mechanisms for Symmetric Keys August 2019
For external re-keying:
1. If it is desirable to separate transformations used for data
processing and key updates, hash function-based re-keying should
be used.
2. If parallel data processing is required, then parallel external
re-keying should be used.
3. If restrictive key lifetime limitations are present, external
tree-based re-keying should be used.
For internal re-keying:
1. If the property of forward and backward security is desirable for
data-processing keys and if additional key material can be easily
obtained for the data-processing stage, internal re-keying with a
master key should be used.
5. External Re-keying Mechanisms
This section presents an approach to increasing the initial key
lifetime by using a transformation of a data-processing key (frame
key) after processing a limited number of entire messages (frame).
The approach provides external parallel and serial re-keying
mechanisms (see [AbBell]). These mechanisms use initial key K only
for frame key generation and never use it directly for data
processing. Such mechanisms operate outside of the base modes of
operations and do not change them at all; therefore, they are called
"external re-keying" mechanisms in this document.
External re-keying mechanisms are recommended for usage in protocols
that process quite small messages, since the maximum gain in
increasing the initial key lifetime is achieved by increasing the
number of messages.
External re-keying increases the initial key lifetime through the
following approach. Suppose there is a protocol P with some mode of
operation (base encryption or authentication mode). Let L1 be a key
lifetime limitation induced by side-channel analysis methods (side-
channel limitation), let L2 be a key lifetime limitation induced by
methods based on the combinatorial properties of a used mode of
operation (combinatorial limitation), and let q1, q2 be the total
numbers of messages of length m that can be safely processed with an
initial key K according to these limitations.
Smyshlyaev Informational [Page 11]
RFC 8645 Re-keying Mechanisms for Symmetric Keys August 2019
Let L = min(L1, L2), q = min(q1, q2), and q * m <= L. As the L1
limitation is usually much stronger than the L2 limitation (L1 < L2),
the final key lifetime restriction is equal to the most restrictive
limitation L1. Thus, as displayed in Figure 2, without re-keying,
only q1 (q1 * m <= L1) messages can be safely processed.

Figure 2: Basic Principles of Message Processing
without External Re-keying
Suppose that the safety margin for the protocol P is fixed and the
external re-keying approach is applied to the initial key K to
generate the sequence of frame keys. The frame keys are generated in
such a way that the leakage of a previous frame key does not have any
impact on the following one, so the side-channel limitation L1 is
switched off. Thus, the resulting key lifetime limitation of the
initial key K can be calculated on the basis of a new combinatorial
limitation L2'. It is proven (see [AbBell]) that the security of the
mode of operation that uses external re-keying leads to an increase
when compared to base mode without re-keying (thus, L2 < L2').
Hence, as displayed in Figure 3, the resulting key lifetime
limitation if using external re-keying can be increased up to L2'.

Figure 3: Basic Principles of Message Processing
with External Re-keying
Note: The key transformation process is depicted in a simplified
form. A specific approach (parallel and serial) is described below.
Consider an example. Let the message size in a protocol P be equal
to 1 KB. Suppose L1 = 128 MB and L2 = 1 TB. Thus, if an external
re-keying mechanism is not used, the initial key K must be
renegotiated after processing 128 MB / 1 KB = 131072 messages.
If an external re-keying mechanism is used, the key lifetime
limitation L1 goes off. Hence, the resulting key lifetime limitation
L2' can be set to more than 1 TB. Thus, if an external re-keying
mechanism is used, more than 1 TB / 1 KB = 2^30 messages can be
processed before the initial key K is renegotiated. This is 8192
times greater than the number of messages that can be processed when
an external re-keying mechanism is not used.
Smyshlyaev Informational [Page 13]
RFC 8645 Re-keying Mechanisms for Symmetric Keys August 2019
5.1. Methods of Key Lifetime Control
Suppose L is an amount of data that can be safely processed with one
frame key. For i in {1, 2, ... , t}, the frame key K^i (see Figures
4 and 6) should be transformed after processing q_i messages, where
q_i can be calculated in accordance with one of the following
approaches:
Explicit approach:
q_i is such that |M^{i,1}| + ... + |M^{i,q_i}| <= L, |M^{i,1}| +
... + |M^{i,q_i+1}| > L.
This approach allows use of the frame key K^i in an almost optimal
way, but it can be applied only when messages cannot be lost or
reordered (e.g., TLS records).
Implicit approach:
q_i = L / m_max, i = 1, ... , t.
The amount of data processed with one frame key K^i is calculated
under the assumption that every message has the maximum length
m_max. Hence, this amount can be considerably less than the key
lifetime limitation L. On the other hand, this approach can be
applied when messages may be lost or reordered (e.g., DTLS
records).
Dynamic key changes:
We can organize the key change using the Protected Point to Point
([P3]) solution by building a protected tunnel between the
endpoints in which the information about frame key updating can be
safely passed across. This can be useful, for example, when we
want the adversary to not detect the key change during the
protocol evaluation.
5.2. Parallel Constructions
External parallel re-keying mechanisms generate frame keys K^1, K^2,
... directly from the initial key K independently of each other.
The main idea behind external re-keying with a parallel construction
is presented in Figure 4:

5.2.1. Parallel Construction Based on a KDF on a Block Cipher
The ExtParallelC re-keying mechanism is based on the key derivation
function on a block cipher and is used to generate t frame keys as
follows:

5.2.2. Parallel Construction Based on a KDF on a Hash Function
The ExtParallelH re-keying mechanism is based on the key derivation
function HKDF-Expand, described in [RFC5869], and is used to generate
t frame keys as follows:
K^1 | K^2 | ... | K^t = ExtParallelH(K, t * k) = HKDF-Expand(K,
label, t * k),
where label is a string (may be a zero-length string) that is defined
by a specific protocol.
5.2.3. Tree-Based Construction
The application of an external tree-based mechanism leads to the
construction of the key tree with the initial key K (root key) at the
0 level and the frame keys K^1, K^2, ... at the last level, as
described in Figure 5.

Figure 5: External Tree-Based Mechanism
The tree height h and the number of keys Wj, j in {1, ... , h}, which
can be partitioned from the "parent" key, are defined in accordance
with a specific protocol and key lifetime limitations for the used
derivation functions.
Smyshlyaev Informational [Page 16]
RFC 8645 Re-keying Mechanisms for Symmetric Keys August 2019
Each j-level key K{j,w}, where j in {1, ... , h}, w in {1, ... , W1 *
... * Wj}, is derived from the (j-1)-level "parent" key K{j-1,
ceil(w/Wi)} (and other appropriate input data) using the j-th level
derivation function. This function can be based on the block cipher
function or on the hash function and is defined in accordance with a
specific protocol.
The i-th frame K^i, i in {1, 2, ... , W1*...*Wh}, can be calculated
as follows:
K^i = ExtKeyTree(K, i) = KDF_h(KDF_{h-1}(... KDF_1(K, ceil(i / (W2
* ... * Wh)) ... , ceil(i / Wh)), i),
where KDF_j is the j-th level derivation function that takes two
arguments (the parent key value and the integer in a range from 1 to
W1 * ... * Wj) and outputs the j-th level key value.
The frame key K^i is updated after processing a certain number of
messages (see Section 5.1).
In order to create an efficient implementation, during frame key K^i
generation, the derivation functions KDF_j, j in {1, ... , h-1}
should be used only when ceil(i / (W{j+1} * ... * Wh)) != ceil((i -
1) / (W{j+1} * ... * Wh)); otherwise, it is necessary to use a
previously generated value. This approach also makes it possible to
take countermeasures against side-channel attacks.
Consider an example. Suppose h = 3, W1 = W2 = W3 = W, and KDF_1,
KDF_2, KDF_3 are key derivation functions based on the
KDF_GOSTR3411_2012_256 (hereafter simply KDF) function described in
[RFC7836]. The resulting ExtKeyTree function can be defined as
follows:
ExtKeyTree(K, i) = KDF(KDF(KDF(K, "level1", ceil(i / W^2)),
"level2", ceil(i / W)), "level3", i).
where i in {1, 2, ... , W^3}.
A structure similar to the external tree-based mechanism can be found
in Section 6 of [NISTSP800-108].
5.3. Serial Constructions
External serial re-keying mechanisms generate frame keys, each of
which depends on the secret state (K*_1, K*_2, ...) that is updated
after the generation of each new frame key; see Figure 6. Similar
approaches are used in the [SIGNAL] protocol and the [TLS] updating
Smyshlyaev Informational [Page 17]
RFC 8645 Re-keying Mechanisms for Symmetric Keys August 2019
traffic key mechanism and were proposed for use in the [U2F]
protocol.
External serial re-keying mechanisms have the obvious disadvantage of
being impossible to implement in parallel, but they may be the
preferred option if additional forward secrecy is desirable. If all
keys are securely deleted after usage, the compromise of a current
secret state at some point does not lead to a compromise of all
previous secret states and frame keys. In terms of [TLS], compromise
of application_traffic_secret_N does not compromise all previous
application_traffic_secret_i, i < N.
The main idea behind external re-keying with a serial construction is
presented in Figure 6:
Maximum message size = m_max.

5.3.1. Serial Construction Based on a KDF on a Block Cipher
The frame key K^i is calculated using the ExtSerialC transformation
as follows:
K^i = ExtSerialC(K, i) =
MSB_k(E_{K*_i}(Vec_n(0)) |E_{K*_i}(Vec_n(1)) | ... |
E_{K*_i}(Vec_n(J - 1))),
where J = ceil(k / n), i = 1, ... , t, K*_i is calculated as follows:
K*_1 = K,
K*_{j+1} = MSB_k(E_{K*_j}(Vec_n(J)) | E_{K*_j}(Vec_n(J + 1)) |
... |
E_{K*_j}(Vec_n(2 * J - 1))),
where j = 1, ... , t - 1.
5.3.2. Serial Construction Based on a KDF on a Hash Function
The frame key K^i is calculated using the ExtSerialH transformation
as follows:
K^i = ExtSerialH(K, i) = HKDF-Expand(K*_i, label1, k),
where i = 1, ... , t; HKDF-Expand is the HMAC-based key derivation
function, as described in [RFC5869]; and K*_i is calculated as
follows:
K*_1 = K,
K*_{j+1} = HKDF-Expand(K*_j, label2, k), where j = 1, ... , t - 1,
where label1 and label2 are different strings from V* that are
defined by a specific protocol (see, for example, the algorithm for
updating traffic keys in TLS 1.3 [TLS]).
5.4. Using Additional Entropy during Re-keying
In many cases, using additional entropy during re-keying won't
increase security but may give a false sense of that. Therefore, one
can rely on additional entropy only after conducting a deep security
analysis. For example, good PRF constructions do not require
additional entropy for the quality of keys, so, in most cases, there
is no need to use additional entropy with external re-keying
mechanisms based on secure KDFs. However, in some situations, mixed-
in entropy can still increase security in the case of a time-limited
Smyshlyaev Informational [Page 19]
RFC 8645 Re-keying Mechanisms for Symmetric Keys August 2019
but complete breach of the system when an adversary can access the
frame-key generation interface but cannot reveal the master keys
(e.g., when the master keys are stored in a Hardware Security Module
(HSM)).
For example, an external parallel construction based on a KDF on a
hash function with a mixed-in entropy can be described as follows:
K^i = HKDF-Expand(K, label_i, k),
where label_i is additional entropy that must be sent to the
recipient (e.g., sent jointly with an encrypted message). The
entropy label_i and the corresponding key K^i must be generated
directly before message processing.
6. Internal Re-keying Mechanisms
This section presents an approach to increasing the key lifetime by
using a transformation of a data-processing key (section key) during
each separate message processing. Each message is processed starting
with the same key (the first section key), and each section key is
updated after processing N bits of the message (section).
This section provides internal re-keying mechanisms called ACPKM
(Advanced Cryptographic Prolongation of Key Material) and ACPKM-
Master that do not use a master key and use a master key,
respectively. Such mechanisms are integrated into the base modes of
operation and actually form new modes of operation. Therefore, they
are called "internal re-keying" mechanisms in this document.
Internal re-keying mechanisms are recommended to be used in protocols
that process large single messages (e.g., CMS messages), since the
maximum gain in increasing the key lifetime is achieved by increasing
the length of a message, while it provides almost no increase in the
number of messages that can be processed with one initial key.
Internal re-keying increases the key lifetime through the following
approach. Suppose protocol P uses some base mode of operation. Let
L1 and L2 be a side channel and combinatorial limitations,
respectively, and for some fixed number of messages q, let m1, m2 be
the lengths of messages that can be safely processed with a single
initial key K according to these limitations.
Thus, the approach without re-keying (analogous to Section 5) yields
a final key lifetime restriction equal to L1, and only q messages of
the length m1 can be safely processed; see Figure 7.

Figure 7: Basic Principles of Message Processing
without Internal Re-keying
Suppose that the safety margin for the protocol P is fixed and the
internal re-keying approach is applied to the base mode of operation.
Suppose further that every message is processed with a section key,
which is transformed after processing N bits of data, where N is a
parameter. If q * N does not exceed L1, then the side-channel
limitation L1 goes off, and the resulting key lifetime limitation of
the initial key K can be calculated on the basis of a new
combinatorial limitation L2'. The security of the mode of operation
that uses internal re-keying increases when compared to the base mode
of operation without re-keying (thus, L2 < L2'). Hence, as displayed
in Figure 8, the resulting key lifetime limitation if using internal
re-keying can be increased up to L2'.

Figure 8: Basic Principles of Message Processing
with Internal Re-keying
Note: The key transformation process is depicted in a simplified
form. A specific approach (ACPKM and ACPKM-Master re-keying
mechanisms) is described below.
Smyshlyaev Informational [Page 21]
RFC 8645 Re-keying Mechanisms for Symmetric Keys August 2019
Since the performance of encryption can slightly decrease for rather
small values of N, the maximum possible value should be selected for
parameter N for a particular protocol in order to provide the
necessary key lifetime for the considered security models.
Consider an example. Suppose L1 = 128 MB and L2 = 10 TB. Let the
message size in the protocol be large/unlimited (which may exhaust
the whole key lifetime L2). The most restrictive resulting key
lifetime limitation is equal to 128 MB.
Thus, there is a need to put a limit on the maximum message size
m_max. For example, if m_max = 32 MB, it may happen that the
renegotiation of initial key K would be required after processing
only four messages.
If an internal re-keying mechanism with section size N = 1 MB is
used, more than L1 / N = 128 MB / 1 MB = 128 messages can be
processed before the renegotiation of initial key K (instead of four
messages when an internal re-keying mechanism is not used). Note
that only one section of each message is processed with the section
key K^i, and, consequently, the key lifetime limitation L1 goes off.
Hence, the resulting key lifetime limitation L2' can be set to more
than 10 TB (in cases when a single large message is processed using
the initial key K).
6.1. Methods of Key Lifetime Control
Suppose L is an amount of data that can be safely processed with one
section key and N is a section size (fixed parameter). Suppose
M^{i}_1 is the first section of message M^{i}, i = 1, ... , q (see
Figures 9 and 10); the parameter q can then be calculated in
accordance with one of the following two approaches:
o Explicit approach:
q_i is such that |M^{1}_1| + ... + |M^{q}_1| <= L, |M^{1}_1| + ...
+ |M^{q+1}_1| > L
This approach allows use of the section key K^i in an almost
optimal way, but it can be applied only when messages cannot be
lost or reordered (e.g., TLS records).
o Implicit approach:
q = L / N.
The amount of data processed with one section key K^i is
calculated under the assumption that the length of every message
is equal to or greater than section size N and thus can be
considerably less than the key lifetime limitation L. On the
other hand, this approach can be applied when messages may be lost
or reordered (e.g., DTLS records).

6.2. Constructions that Do Not Require a Master Key
This section describes the block cipher modes that use the ACPKM
re-keying mechanism, which does not use a master key; an initial key
is used directly for the data encryption.
6.2.1. ACPKM Re-keying Mechanisms
This section defines a periodical key transformation without a master
key, which is called the ACPKM re-keying mechanism. This mechanism
can be applied to one of the base encryption modes (CTR and GCM block
cipher modes) to get an extension of this encryption mode that uses
periodical key transformation without a master key. This extension
can be considered as a new encryption mode.
An additional parameter that defines the functioning of base
encryption modes with the ACPKM re-keying mechanism is the section
size N. The value of N is measured in bits and is fixed within a
specific protocol based on the requirements of the system capacity
and the key lifetime. The section size N MUST be divisible by the
block size n.
The main idea behind internal re-keying without a master key is
presented in Figure 9:
Section size = const = N,
maximum message size = m_max.

During the processing of the input message M with the length m in
some encryption mode that uses the ACPKM key transformation of the
initial key K, the message is divided into l = ceil(m / N) sections
(denoted as M = M_1 | M_2 | ... | M_l, where M_i is in V_N for i in
{1, 2, ... , l - 1} and M_l is in V_r, r <= N). The first section of
each message is processed with the section key K^1 = K. To process
the (i + 1)-th section of each message, the section key K^{i+1} is
calculated using the ACPKM transformation as follows:
K^{i+1} = ACPKM(K^i) = MSB_k(E_{K^i}(D_1) | ... | E_{K^i}(D_J)),
where J = ceil(k/n) and D_1, D_2, ... , D_J are in V_n and are
calculated as follows:
D_1 | D_2 | ... | D_J = MSB_{J * n}(D),
where D is the following constant in V_{1024}:
D = ( 80 | 81 | 82 | 83 | 84 | 85 | 86 | 87
| 88 | 89 | 8a | 8b | 8c | 8d | 8e | 8f

Note: The constant D is such that D_1, ... , D_J are pairwise
different for any allowed n and k values.
Note: The highest bit of each octet of the constant D is equal to 1.
This condition is important as, in conjunction with a certain mode
message length limitation, it allows prevention of collisions of
block cipher permutation inputs in cases with key transformation and
message processing (for more details, see Section 4.4 of [AAOS2017]).

6.2.2. CTR-ACPKM Encryption Mode
This section defines a CTR-ACPKM encryption mode that uses the ACPKM
internal re-keying mechanism for the periodical key transformation.
The CTR-ACPKM mode can be considered as the base encryption mode CTR
(see [MODES]) extended by the ACPKM re-keying mechanism.
The CTR-ACPKM encryption mode can be used with the following
parameters:
o 64 <= n <= 512.
o 128 <= k <= 512.
o The number c of bits in a specific part of the block to be
incremented is such that 32 <= c <= 3 / 4 n, where c is a multiple
of 8.
o The maximum message size m_max = n * 2^{c-1}.
The CTR-ACPKM mode encryption and decryption procedures are defined
as follows:

The initial counter nonce (ICN) value for each message that is
encrypted under the given initial key K must be chosen in a unique
manner.
6.2.3. GCM-ACPKM Authenticated Encryption Mode
This section defines the GCM-ACPKM authenticated encryption mode that
uses the ACPKM internal re-keying mechanism for the periodical key
transformation.
The GCM-ACPKM mode can be considered as the base authenticated
encryption mode GCM (see [GCM]) extended by the ACPKM re-keying
mechanism.
The GCM-ACPKM authenticated encryption mode can be used with the
following parameters:
o n in {128, 256}.
o 128 <= k <= 512.
o The number c of bits in a specific part of the block to be
incremented is such that 1 / 4 n <= c <= 1 / 2 n, c is a multiple
of 8.
o Authentication tag length t.
o The maximum message size m_max = min{n * (2^{c-1} - 2), 2^{n/2} -
1}.

manner.
The key for computing values E_{K}(ICB_0) and H is not updated and is
equal to the initial key K.
6.3. Constructions that Require a Master Key
This section describes the block cipher modes that use the ACPKM-
Master re-keying mechanism, which use the initial key K as a master
key, so K is never used directly for data processing but is used for
key derivation.
6.3.1. ACPKM-Master Key Derivation from the Master Key
This section defines periodical key transformation with a master key,
which is called the ACPKM-Master re-keying mechanism. This mechanism
can be applied to one of the base modes of operation (CTR, GCM, CBC,
CFB, OMAC modes) for getting an extension that uses periodical key
transformation with a master key. This extension can be considered
as a new mode of operation.
Additional parameters that define the functioning of modes of
operation that use the ACPKM-Master re-keying mechanism are the
section size N, the change frequency T* of the master keys K*_1,
K*_2, ... (see Figure 10), and the size d of the section key
material. The values of N and T* are measured in bits and are fixed
within a specific protocol based on the requirements of the system
capacity and the key lifetime. The section size N MUST be divisible
by the block size n. The master key frequency T* MUST be divisible
by d and by n.

The main idea behind internal re-keying with a master key is
presented in Figure 10:

Figure 10: Internal Re-keying with a Master Key
During the processing of the input message M with the length m in
some mode of operation that uses ACPKM-Master key transformation with
the initial key K and the master key frequency T*, the message M is
divided into l = ceil(m / N) sections (denoted as M = M_1 | M_2 |
... | M_l, where M_i is in V_N for i in {1, 2, ... , l - 1} and M_l
is in V_r, r <= N). The j-th section of each message is processed
with the key material K[j], j in {1, ... , l}, |K[j]| = d, which is
calculated with the ACPKM-Master algorithm as follows:
K[1] | ... | K[l] = ACPKM-Master(T*, K, d, l) = CTR-ACPKM-Encrypt
(T*, K, 1^{n/2}, 0^{d*l}).
Note: The parameters d and l MUST be such that d * l <= n *

7. Joint Usage of External and Internal Re-keying
Both external re-keying and internal re-keying have their own
advantages and disadvantages, which are discussed in Section 1. For
instance, using external re-keying can essentially limit the message
length, while in the case of internal re-keying, the section size,
which can be chosen as the maximal possible for operational
properties, limits the number of separate messages. Therefore, the
choice of re-keying mechanism (either external or internal) depends
on particular protocol features. However, some protocols may have
features that require the advantages of both the external and
internal re-keying mechanisms: for example, the protocol mainly
transmits short messages, but it must additionally support processing
of very long messages. In such situations, it is necessary to use
external and internal re-keying jointly, since these techniques
negate each other's disadvantages.
For composition of external and internal re-keying techniques, any
mechanism described in Section 5 can be used with any mechanism
described in Section 6.
Smyshlyaev Informational [Page 42]
RFC 8645 Re-keying Mechanisms for Symmetric Keys August 2019
For example, consider the GCM-ACPKM mode with external serial
re-keying based on a KDF on a hash function. Denote the number of
messages in each frame (in the case of the implicit approach to the
key lifetime control) for external re-keying as a frame size.
Let L be a key lifetime limitation. The section size N for internal
re-keying and the frame size q for external re-keying must be chosen
in such a way that q * N must not exceed L.
Suppose that t messages (ICN_i, P_i, A_i), with initial counter nonce
ICN_i, plaintext P_i, and additional authenticated data A_i will be
processed before renegotiation.
For authenticated encryption of each message (ICN_i, P_i, A_i), i =
1, ..., t, the following algorithm can be applied:
1. j = ceil(i / q),
2. K^j = ExtSerialH(K, j),
3. C_i | T_i = GCM-ACPKM-Encrypt(N, K^j, ICN_i, P_i, A_i).
Note that nonces ICN_i that are used under the same frame key must be
unique for each message.
8. Security Considerations
Re-keying should be used to increase a priori security properties of
ciphers in hostile environments (e.g., with side-channel
adversaries). If efficient attacks on a cipher are known, the cipher
must not be used. Thus, re-keying cannot be used as a patch for
vulnerable ciphers. Base cipher properties must be well analyzed
because the security of re-keying mechanisms is based on the security
of a block cipher as a pseudorandom function.
Re-keying is not intended to solve any postquantum security issues
for symmetric cryptography, since the reduction of security caused by
Grover's algorithm is not connected with a size of plaintext
transformed by a cipher -- only a negligible (sufficient for key
uniqueness) material is needed -- and the aim of re-keying is to
limit the size of plaintext transformed under one initial key.
Re-keying can provide backward security only if previous key material
is securely deleted after usage by all parties.
9. IANA Considerations
