FIELD
[0001] The embodiments discussed herein relate to a mutual authentication method, an authentication apparatus, and an authentication program.
BACKGROUND
[0002] When a plurality of information processing devices perform data communication with each other via a network, various security risks exist. For example, data could be stolen or falsified by a third party on a communication path or a third party could fraudulently log on by using an unauthorized information processing device. Against this background, to ensure security, cryptographic communication technology can be used. Examples of the cryptographic communication technology include Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS). SSL and TLS can be used in various types of data communication such as World Wide Web (WWW) communication, transmission of electronic mail, and Virtual Private Network (VPN) communication.
[0003] In cryptographic communication technology, there are cases in which handshakes are performed by using public key cryptography technology. For example, when two information processing devices perform a handshake, each of the two information processing devices that wish to perform data communication encrypts a key material such as a random number by using a public key of its communication peer and transmits the encrypted key material. The key material encrypted by using the public key can be decrypted only by an authorized information processing device having a private key that corresponds to the public key. Thus, when each of the two information processing devices determines that its communication peer has properly recognized the corresponding encrypted key material, each of the two information processing devices can validate its communication peer.
[0004] In addition, for example, when a handshake is performed, two information processing devices can independently generate a shared key on the basis of a predetermined key generation algorithm and a key material exchanged between the two information processing devices. If the two information processing devices are authorized information processing devices, the two information processing devices generate the same shared key. Thus, the two information processing devices can agree on the shared key, without transmitting the shared key itself. Thereafter, the two information processing devices can encrypt and transmit data on the basis of the agreed shared key.
[0005] Identity-based (ID-based) cryptography has been proposed as a kind of public key cryptography technology. In ID-based cryptography, instead of using a mathematically-generated numerical value as a public key, any identifier that can be recognized by humans such as a network address, a host name, or a device number or a numerical value obtained by converting such an identifier is used as a public key. In ID-based cryptography, cryptographic processing can be performed when an identifier of a communication peer is known, and there are cases in which a certificate that certifies that a public key is assigned to the communication peer is not needed.
[0006] See, for example, Japanese Laid-open Patent Publication No.
2010-4288.
[0007] US 2011/005567 A1 describes one or more secure key management protocols for use in communication environments such as a media plane ofa multimedia communication system. For example, a method for performing an authenticated key agreement protocol, in accordance with a multimedia communication system, between a first party and a second party comprises, at the first party, the following steps. Note that encryption/decryption is performed in accordance with an identity based encryption operation. At least one private key for the first party is obtained from a key service. A first message comprising an encrypted first random key component is sent from the first party to the second party, the first random key component having been computed at the first party, and the first message having been encrypted using a public key ofthe second party. A second message comprising an encrypted random key component pair is received at the first party from the second party, the random key component pair having been formed from the first random key component and a second random key component computed at the second party, and the second message having been encrypted at the second party using a public key of the first party. The second message is decrypted by the first party using the private key obtained by the first party from the key service to obtain the second random key component. A third message comprising the second random key component is sent from the first party to the second party, the third message having been encrypted using the public key ofthe second party. The first party computes a secure key based on the second random key component, the secure key being used for conducting at least one call session with the second party via a media plane ofthe multimedia communication system.
[0008] In cryptographic communication technology, for example, two information processing devices can perform a handshake in accordance with the following procedure. One information processing device accesses the other information processing device. The latter information processing device transmits a key material obtained by performing encryption by using a public key of the former information processing device. The former information processing device transmits a key material obtained by performing encryption by using a public key of the latter information processing device. In addition, the former information processing device generates verification data for determining whether a shared key has accurately been generated from the key material and transmits the verification data. The latter information processing device also generates and transmits verification data. When each of the two information processing devices verifies its corresponding verification data, the two information processing devices determine that the shared key has been agreed upon.
[0009] However, in accordance with the above handshake procedure, four communications are performed between the two information processing devices. If the number of communications can be reduced, the authentication time can be shortened, and the overhead before the start of data communication can be reduced.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS
[0014] Embodiments will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference characters refer to like elements throughout.
<1. First embodiment>
[0015] A first embodiment will be described.
[0016] FIG. 1 illustrates an example of an authentication system according to a first embodiment.
[0017] The authentication system according to the first embodiment includes authentication devices 10 and 20. The authentication devices 10 and 20 perform mutual authentication and agree on a shared key to be used in data communication. The authentication devices 10 and 20 perform communication via a network. For example, various types of information described in the first embodiment may be included in messages on a protocol such as Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/Internet Protocol (IP) and then transmitted. For example, the communication procedure described in the first embodiment may be applied to cryptographic communication technology such as SSL/TLS.
[0018] The authentication devices 10 and 20 may be devices called information processing devices or computers. The authentication devices 10 and 20 may be portable devices such as mobile phones and laptop personal computers (PC) or may be stationary devices such as desktop PCs and server computers. In the first embodiment, first, the authentication device 10 accesses the authentication device 20. Thus, the authentication device 10 may be called a client, and the authentication device 20 may be called a server.
[0019] The authentication device 10 includes a communication unit 11 and a control unit 12. The authentication device 20 includes a communication unit 21 and a control unit 22. Each of the communication units 11 and 21 is a communication interface that communicates with the other device. Each of the communication units 11 and 21 may be a wired interface that performs communication via a cable or may be a wireless interface that performs communication via a wireless link.
[0020] For example, each of the control units 12 and 22 is a processor such as a central processing unit (CPU) or a digital signal processor (DSP). However, each of the control units 12 and 22 may include an electronic circuit for specific use such as an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) or a field programmable gate array (FPGA). These processors execute programs stored in memories such as random access memories (RAMs). The programs include an authentication program in which the processing to be described below is written. A group of processors (multiprocessor) may be referred to as a "processor."
[0021] Identification information 13 (first identification information) is associated with the authentication device 10. The identification information 13 is information about the authentication device 10 or a user of the authentication device 10. For example, an IP address, a host name, or a device number of the authentication device 10 may be used as the identification information 13. For example, a user ID or a telephone number of the user of the authentication device 10 may be used. Likewise, identification information 23 (second identification information) is associated with the authentication device 20. The identification information 23 is information about the authentication device 20 or a user of the authentication device 20.
[0022] Regarding the authentication device 10, a public key 14 (a first public key) and a private key 15 (a first private key) used in public key crytography technology are defined. While the public key 14 has been made public, the private key 15 is secretly held only by the authentication device 10. Data encrypted with the public key 14 can be decrypted only with the private key 15. The public key 14 and the private key 15 are associated with the identification information 13. Likewise, regarding the authentication device 20, a public key 24 (a second public key) and a private key 25 (a second private key) used in public key crytography technology are defined. While the public key 24 has been made public, the private key 25 is secretly held only by the authentication device 20. Data encrypted with the public key 24 can be decrypted only with the private key 25. The public key 24 and the private key 25 are associated with the identification information 23.
[0023] If ID-based cryptography is used as public key crytography technology, the authentication device 10 can generate the public key 24 from the identification information 23. In addition, the authentication device 20 can generate the public key 14 from the identification information 13. However, in the first embodiment, public key crytography technology other than ID-based cryptography may be used. The authentication device 10 may search a database that exists inside or outside the authentication device 10 for the public key 24 corresponding to the identification information 23 or may directly acquire the public key 24 from the authentication device 20. The authentication device 20 may search a database that exists inside or outside the authentication device 20 for the public key 14 corresponding to the identification information 13 or may directly acquire the public key 14 from the authentication device 10.
[0024] The communication unit 11 performs communication with the authentication device 20 as follows. The communication unit 11 transmits the identification information 13 and 23 and encrypted data 18 (first encrypted data) to the authentication device 20. After transmitting the encrypted data 18, the communication unit 11 receives encrypted data 28 (second encrypted data) and verification data 29 (second verification data) from the authentication device 20. After receiving the verification data 29, the communication unit 11 transmits verification data 19 (first verification data) to the authentication device 20.
[0025] The control unit 12 generates the encrypted data 18 by generating a random number 17 (a first random number) and encrypting the random number 17 by using the public key 24 corresponding to the identification information 23. When the communication unit 11 receives the encrypted data 28, the control unit 12 generates a shared-key candidate 16 (a first shared-key candidate) from the random number 17, the encrypted data 28, and the private key 15. The control unit 12 generates the verification data 19 by using the shared-key candidate 16. For example, the verification data 19 is encrypted with the shared-key candidate 16. When the communication unit 11 receives the verification data 29, the control unit 12 examines the verification data 29 by using the shared-key candidate 16. For example, the control unit 12 creates verification data that corresponds to the verification data 29 in the same method as that used by the authentication device 20 and compares the created verification data with the verification data 29. In this case, if both of the verification data match, the control unit 12 verifies the verification data. If not, the control unit 12 does not verify the verification data.
[0026] The communication unit 21 performs communication with the authentication device 10 as follows. The communication unit 21 receives the identification information 13 and 23 and the encrypted data 18 from the authentication device 10. After receiving the encrypted data 18, the communication unit 21 transmits the encrypted data 28 and the verification data 29 to the authentication device 10. After transmitting the verification data 29, the communication unit 21 receives the verification data 19 from the authentication device 10.
[0027] When the communication unit 21 receives the identification information 13, the control unit 22 generates the encrypted data 28 by generating a random number 27 (a second random number) and encrypting the random number 27 by using the public key 14 corresponding to the identification information 13. When the communication unit 21 receives the encrypted data 18, the control unit 22 generates a shared-key candidate 26 (a second shared-key candidate) from the random number 27, the encrypted data 18, and the private key 25. The control unit 22 generates the verification data 29 by using the shared-key candidate 26. For example, the verification data 29 is encrypted with the shared-key candidate 26. When the communication unit 21 receives the verification data 19, the control unit 22 examines the verification data 19 by using the shared-key candidate 26. For example, the control unit 22 creates verification data that corresponds to the verification data 19 in the same method as that used by the authentication device 10 and compares the created verification data with the verification data 19. In this case, if both of the verification data match, the control unit 22 verifies the verification data. If not, the control unit 22 does not verify the verification data.
[0028] If the control units 12 and 22 verify the verification data 19 and 29, the shared-key candidates 16 and 26 are determined to be the same. Namely, a shared key is agreed between the authentication devices 10 and 20. Thereafter, the authentication device 10 performs cryptographic communication by using the shared-key candidate 16 as the shared key, and the authentication device 20 performs cryptographic communication by using the shared-key candidate 26 as the shared key.
[0029] In addition, since the random number 17 is encrypted with the public key 24 of the authentication device 20, only the authentication device 20 having the private key 25 corresponding to the public key 24 can recognize the random number 17. In addition, since the random number 27 is encrypted with the public key 14 of the authentication device 10, only the authentication device 10 having the private key 15 corresponding to the public key 14 can recognize the random number 27. Thus, by determining that the same shared key has been generated, each of the authentication devices 10 and 20 can authenticate its communication peer.
[0030] When the communication unit 21 receives the identification information 13 and 23, the control unit 22 may determine whether to accept the identification information 13 and 23. If the control unit 22 accepts the identification information 13 and 23, the control unit 22 continues the above processing. However, if the control unit 22 does not accept at least one of the identification information 13 and 23, the control unit 22 may terminate the communication with the authentication device 10. For example, the control unit 22 does not accept the identification information 13 when the identification information 13 is not included in a predetermined whitelist or is listed in a predetermined blacklist. For example, the control unit 22 does not accept the identification information 23 when the identification information 23 does not represent the authentication device 20 or when the identification information 23 is expired. In this case, the control unit 22 may choose different identification information as the identification information 23 of the authentication device 20 and give a chance for retransmission of the encrypted data 18.
[0031] Next, the efficiency of the communication procedure according to the first embodiment will be examined.
[0032] The following communication procedure is possible as another example of the communication procedure performed by the authentication devices 10 and 20. First, the authentication device 10 transmits the identification information 13 to the authentication device 20. In response to the access by the authentication device 10, the authentication device 20 transmits the identification information 23 and the encrypted data 28 to the authentication device 10. Since the authentication device 20 has not received the encrypted data 18 yet, the authentication device 20 does not transmit the verification data 29 at this point. The authentication device 10 transmits the encrypted data 18 and the verification data 19 to the authentication device 20. The authentication device 20 transmits the verification data 29 to the authentication device 10. In accordance with this example of the communication procedure, four communications are performed between the authentication devices 10 and 20.
[0033] In contrast, in accordance with the communication procedure according to the first embodiment, the encrypted data 18 is transmitted earlier from the authentication device 10 to the authentication device 20 along with the identification information 13. Namely, the encrypted data 18 is transmitted before the encrypted data 28 is transmitted. Thus, as a reply to this transmission, the verification data 29 can be transmitted from the authentication device 20 to the authentication device 10 along with the encrypted data 28. Namely, the verification data 29 is transmitted before the verification data 19 is transmitted. As a result, after the verification data 19 is transmitted from the authentication device 10 to the authentication device 20, since the authentication device 20 does not need to transmit the verification data 29 to the authentication device 10, the number of communications is reduced to 3. Thus, the authentication time between the authentication devices 10 and 20 is shortened.
<2. Second embodiment>
[0034] Next, a second embodiment will be described. The second embodiment provides a mechanism of reducing the communication load caused when a handshake is performed by using cryptographic communication technology such as SSL or TLS.
[0035] In a handshake performed when a TLS communication is started, messages such as a ClientHello, a ServerHello, a ServerHelloDone, a ChangeCipherSpec, a Certificate(S), a ServerKeyExchange, a ClientKeyExchange, a Finished(C), and a Finished(S) are exchanged. When ephemeral Diffie-Hellman key exchange (DHE) is performed in mutual authentication, the following messages are exchanged between a client device that operates as a handshake initiator and a server device that operates as a responder.
[0036] First, the client device transmits a ClientHello. When receiving the ClientHello, the server device transmits a ServerHello, a Certificate(S), and a ServerKeyExchange to the client device. A certificate is included in the Certificate(S). A key material (server-generated key material) used when the client device generates a shared key is included in the ServerKeyExchange. How a server-generated key material is generated will be described below.
[0037] When receiving the ServerKeyExchange, the client device examines the certificate in the Certificate(S) and generates a key material (client-generated key material) by using a public key of the server device included in the certificate. The client device generates master private information by using the key material (client-generated key material) used when the server device generates a shared key and the server-generated key material. In addition, the client device generates a verifier (client-generated verifier) by using the master private information. How the client-generated key material and the master private information are generated will be described below.
[0038] The client device includes the client-generated key material in a ClientKeyExchange, includes the client-generated verifier in a Finished(C), and transmits the ClientKeyExchange and the Finished(C) to the server device. When receiving the ClientKeyExchange and the Finished(C), the server device generates master private information, which is the same as that generated by the client device, by using the server-generated key material and the client-generated key material. The server device examines the client-generated verifier and generates a verifier (server-generated verifier) by using the master private information.
[0039] The server device includes the server-generated verifier in the Finished(S) and transmits the Finished(S) to the client device. When receiving the Finished(S), the client device examines the server-generated verifier included in the Finished(S). If the client-generated verifier and the server-generated verifier are verified, it is determined that no key material has been falsified during the processing. Namely, it is determined that key exchange and key agreement have accurately been performed. Thereafter, the client device and the server device are able to perform secure data communication by using the master private information.
[0040] The above sequence is only an example. For example, as a variation, the processing about the Certificate(S) or the like and the verification processing about the certificate may be omitted. In addition, as a variation, ID-based cryptography may be used in the generation of the key material included in the ServerKeyExchange or the ClientKeyExchange and in the generation of the master private information. In addition, as a variation, an identifier may be included in the ClientHello or the ServerHello to be transmitted. As a variation, public parameters for ID-based cryptography may be included in the ClientHello.
[0041] The technique according to the second embodiment provides a mechanism of reducing the number of times of communication of a group of messages that can be transmitted continuously without receiving a reply from a communication peer when a handshake as described above is performed.
[0042] Next, a mechanism of key exchange, including a method of generating a key and key material, will be described.
[0043] Hereinafter, a characteristic will be denoted by p, and an additive cyclic group on an elliptic curve defined by a prime field F
p will be denoted by E(F
p). In addition, a largest prime number with which the order #E(F
p) of E(F
p) is dividable will be denoted by r, and k that satisfies r|p
k-1 will be referred to as an embedding degree. In addition, r|p
k-1 represents that r is a divisor of p
k-1. In addition, an additive subgroup of the order r in E(F
p) will be denoted by E(F
p){r}.
[0044] A bilinear map e is defined by the following expression (1). The bilinear map e is represented by a function (pairing function) that receives an element of a cyclic group G
1 and an element of a cyclic group G
2 as inputs and outputs an element on an extension field G
3. G/H represents a quotient group or a factor group of G with respect to H. In addition, F
pk*/(F
pk*)
r represents a cyclic group formed by elements of F
pk* that represents 1 when raised to the r-th power.
[0045] In addition, a group of integers from 0 to (r - 1) will be denoted by Z
r. Regarding elements α of Z
r (α ∈ Z
r) and an element P of the cyclic group G
1 or G
2 (P ∈ G
1 or G
2), the scalar multiplication αP is defined as an operation in which addition of P is performed α times. In addition, regarding elements x of the extension field G
3 (x ∈ G
3), the power multiplication x
α is defined as an operation in which multiplication of x is performed α times. In this case, bilinearity is a property that satisfies the following expression (2).
[0046] A private key generator (PKG) that determines and secretly holds a master private key s (s ∈ Z
r) determines P (P ∈ G
1), Q (Q ∈ G
2), e, H (hash function), and P
0 (P
0 = sP ∈ G
1) as public parameters and makes these public parameters (P,Q,e,H,Po) public. The master private key s is different from the above master private information.
[0047] For example, assuming that the server device and the client device correspond to an identifier ID
A and an identifier ID
B, respectively, and that the server device and the client device know the identifier ID
A and ID
B, a public key P
A corresponding to the identifier ID
A is defined by the following expression (3) and can be calculated by anyone by using the public parameters. Likewise, a public key P
B corresponding to the identifier ID
B is defined by the following expression (4) and can be calculated by anyone by using the public parameters.
[0048] A private key S
A corresponding to the identifier ID
A is defined by the following expression (5) and can be calculated by the PKG holding the master private key s. Likewise, a private key S
B corresponding to the identifier ID
B is defined by the following expression (6) and can be calculated by the PKG holding the master private key s. The PKG provides an authorized entity (the server device) that has a right to be authenticated by means of the identifier ID
A with the private key S
A. In addition, the PKG provides an authorized entity (the client device) that has a right to be authenticated by means of the identifier ID
B with the private key S
B.
[0049] When key exchange is performed between the client device and the server device, the server device generates a random number r
A and generates a server-generated key material R
A (R
A = r
AP
B) by using the public key P
B. Next, the server device transmits the server-generated key material R
A to the client device. The client device generates a random number r
B and generates a client-generated key material R
B (R
B = r
BP
A) by using the public key P
A. Next, the client device transmits the client-generated key material R
B to the server device.
[0050] When receiving the server-generated key material R
A, the client device calculates a shared key Z
B (Z
B = e(R
A,r
BS
B)) by using the private key S
B, the server-generated key material R
A, the random number r
B, and a public parameter. When receiving the client-generated key material R
B, the server device calculates a shared key Z
A (Z
A = e (R
B, r
AS
A)) by using the private key S
A, the client-generated key material R
B, the random number r
A, and a public parameter. These keys generated as described above are sometimes called session keys. However, herein, these keys will be called shared keys.
[0051] Unless the server-generated key material R
A and the client-generated key material R
B are falsified while transmitted, the above shared keys Z
A and Z
B match, as calculated by the following expressions (7) and (8). Namely, the server device and the client device are able to obtain a shared key, and the key exchange is completed. In the handshake performed when the TLS communication is started, whether falsification has been performed is determined by using a client-generated verifier and a server-generated verifier.
[0052] Other than the above way, there is another way of performing key exchange using ID-based cryptography. For example, a random number may be encrypted with a public key of a communication peer, and the encrypted random number may be used as the key material. In this case, since the communication peer that has received the key material can decrypt the random number from the key material by using the private key, the decrypted random number can be used as a shared key.
[0053] In TLS, the above shared keys Z
A and Z
B are used as pre-master private information, and master private information is generated from the pre-master private information. Next, by encrypting communication data with the master private information, cryptographic communication between the client device and the server device is realized. A mechanism of generating the master private information from the pre-master private information is determined as follows in the TLS specification.
[0055] In the above expression (9), "master secret" represents a byte string corresponding to a fixed character string (label) "master secret." In addition, ClientHello.random and ServerHello.random are random numbers transmitted in a ClientHello and a ServerHello, respectively. In addition, {0..47} signifies the initial 48 bytes of an output value outputted by a PRF that can output a byte string of any length. The PRF is defined as indicated by the following expression (10).
[0056] In the above expression (10), "secret" is a private key. Assuming that the "secret" is divided into two portions of a first half and a second half in terms of bytes, S
01 is a byte string of the first half and S
02 is a byte string of the second half. If the number of bytes of the "secret" is an odd number, the byte of the center of the "secret" is used redundantly as the last byte of the byte string S
01 and as the first byte of the byte string S
02. In addition, "+" signifies concatenation of byte strings.
[0057] P_hash (secret, seed) generates a byte string of any length from the private value "secret" and additional information "seed" by using a hash function hash. This P_hash(secret,seed) is defined as indicated by the following expression (11). HMAC_hash(secret,value) is a hash-based message authentication code (HMAC) with respect to a value. In addition, when i = 1, 2, 3,..., a function A is defined as indicated by the following expression (12).
[0058] The master private information is given as a result obtained by performing XOR on a value extended to 48 bytes by HMAC-MD1 and a value extended to 48 bytes by HMAC-SHA-1, using the pre-master private information as a private key and concatenation of the random numbers included in a ClientHello and a ServerHello as the additional information (seed).
[2-1. System]
[0059] Next, a system according to a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 2. FIG. 2 illustrates an example of the system according to the second embodiment.

[0086] Functions of the storage unit 211 may be realized by using hardware resources corresponding to the above RAM 102 or HDD 103, for example. Functions of the key material generation unit 213, the shared-key generation unit 214, and the verification processing unit 215 may be realized by using hardware resources corresponding to the above CPU 101, for example. Functions of the communication unit 212 may be realized by using hardware resources corresponding to the above CPU 101 or communication interface 107, for example.
[0087] Server identification information 211a is stored in the storage unit 211. The server identification information 211a is identification information for identifying the server device 200.

In addition, the verification processing unit 215 examines the client-generated verifier included in a message received from the client device 100.
[0090] Functions of the client device 100 and server device 200 have thus been described.
[2-4. Flow of processing]
[0091] Next, a flow of authentication processing that the client device 100 and server device 200 perform when performing a handshake will be described.
(Sequence: when there is no error in server identification information)
[0092] First, a flow of authentication processing (without an error) performed when the server device 200 accepts the identifier transmitted from the client device 100 to the server device 200 as the server identification information used in the authentication processing will be described with reference to FIG. 6. FIG. 6 is a sequence diagram illustrating a flow of authentication processing (without an error) according to the second embodiment.
[0093] The following description assumes that the client device 100 and the server device 200 hold the public parameters (P,Q,e,H,P
0) made public by the PKG. Among the parameters, P represents a generator of the cyclic group G
1, Q represents a generator of the cyclic group G
2, e represents a bilinear map given by the above expression (1), H represents a hash function, P
0 represents a generator of the cyclic group G
1 generated from the master private key s secretly held by the PKG and P (Po = sP ∈ G
1).
[0094] In addition, the following description assumes that the client device 100 holds a private key Sc (Sc = (H(IDc) + s)
-1Q) provided by the PKG and that the server device 200 holds at least a private key S
S0 (S
S0 = (H(ID
S0) + s)
-1Q) or a private key S
S1 (S
S1 = (H(ID
S1) + s)
-1Q) provided by the PKG. In addition, the following description assumes that at least an identifier ID
S0 or an identifier ID
S1 can be used as an identifier that identifies the server device 200.
[0095] (S101) The communication unit 113 includes the client identification information 111a (an identifier ID
C) and the server identification information 111b (the identifier IDso) used in the authentication processing in a ClientHello. As needed, such a ClientHello including the identifiers ID
C and ID
S0 will be referred to as a ClientHello{ID
C,ID
S0}. The communication unit 113 transmits the ClientHello{ID
C,ID
S0} to the server device 200.
[0096] (S102) The key material generation unit 112 generates a random number rc. In addition, the key material generation unit 112 generates a public key P
S0 (P
S0 = H(ID
S0) P + P
0) of the server device 200 by using the public parameters H, P, and P
0 and the identifier ID
S0. Next, the key material generation unit 112 generates a client-generated key material R
C0 (R
C0 = r
CP
S0) by using the random number rc and the public key Pso of the server device 200.
[0097] The communication unit 113 includes the client-generated key material Rco in a ClientKeyExchange. As needed, such a ClientKeyExchange including the client-generated key material Rco will be referred to as a ClientKeyExchange{R
C0}. The communication unit 113 transmits the ClientKeyExchange{R
C0} to the server device 200.
[0098] The client device 100 can transmit these ClientHello and ClientKeyExchange to the server device 200 without receiving a reply from the server device 200. Thus, in the example in FIG. 6, the client device 100 transmits the ClientHello{ID
C,ID
S0} and the ClientKeyExchange{R
C0} as a message group (Com#1) that the client device 100 can transmit without receiving a reply from the server device 200. As needed, transmission of such a message group will be referred to as a flight. For example, Com#1 is a single flight.
[0099] (S103) The communication unit 212 receives the ClientHello{ID
C,ID
S0} and the ClientKeyExchange{R
C0}.
[0100] The key material generation unit 213 generates a random number rso. In addition, the key material generation unit 213 generates a public key Pc (Pc = H(IDc)P + P
0) of the client device 100 by using the public parameters H, P, and P
0 and the identifier IDc extracted from the ClientHello. In addition, the key material generation unit 213 generates a server-generated key material R
S0 (R
S0 = r
S0P
C) by using the random number r
S0 and the public key Pc.
[0101] The shared-key generation unit 214 generates a shared key Z
S by using the client-generated key material R
C0 extracted from the ClientKeyExchange, the random number rso, the private key Sso corresponding to the identifier ID
S0, and the public parameter e. In this case, the shared key Z
S is given by the following expression (13). In addition, in accordance with the TLS specification (see the above expressions (9) to (12)), the shared-key generation unit 214 generates master private information Ms by using the shared key Z
S as pre-master private information.
[0102] (S104) The communication unit 212 includes the identifier IDso used to generate the shared key Z
S in S103 in a ServerHello. As needed, such a ServerHello including the identifier ID
S0 will be referred to as a ServerHello{ID
S0}. The communication unit 212 transmits the ServerHello{ID
S0} to the client device 100.
[0103] (S105) The communication unit 212 includes the server-generated key material Rso generated in S103 in a ServerKeyExchange. As needed, such a ServerKeyExchange including the server-generated key material R
S0 will be referred to as a ServerKeyExchange{R
S0}. The communication unit 212 transmits the ServerKeyExchange{R
S0} to the client device 100.
[0104] (S106) The verification processing unit 215 generates a server-generated verifier (verifier verify_data) by using the master private information M
S. The verifier verify_data is a byte string of 12 bytes. In the TLS specification, the verifier verify_data is defined as indicated by the following expression (14).
[0105] In the above expression (14), "master secret" represents the master private information M
S, and "finished_label" is a byte string corresponding to a fixed character string (label). In the case of the server-generated verifier, "finished_label" is set to a byte string "server finished." In the case of a client-generated verifier to be described below, "finished_label" is set to a byte string "client finished." In addition, "handshake_messages" is a byte string obtained by connecting all the messages exchanged prior to a Finished in which verify_data is included in a handshake.
[0106] The verifier verify_data is given as a result obtained by performing XOR on a value extended to 12 bytes by HMAC-MD1 and a value extended to 12 bytes by HMAC-SHA-1, using the master private information as a private key and a byte string obtained by concatenating an MD5 hash value and an SHA-1 hash value of a byte string obtained by connecting all the messages exchanged prior to a Finished in which this verify_data is included as additional information (seed). In addition, {0..11} signifies the initial 11 bytes of an output value outputted by a PRF that can output a byte string of any length.
[0107] In accordance with the above expression (14), the verification processing unit 215 generates the verifier verify_data by using the master private information M
S and uses the generated verifier verify_data as the server-generated verifier. The communication unit 212 includes the server-generated verifier in a Finished(S). Next, the communication unit 212 transmits the Finished(S) to the client device 100.
[0108] The server device 200 can transmit these ServerHello, ServerKeyExchange, and Finished(S) to the client device 100 without receiving a reply from the client device 100. Thus, in the example in FIG. 6, the server device 200 transmits the ServerHello{ID
S0}, the ServerKeyExchange{R
S0}, and the Finished(S) as a message group (Com#2) that the server device 200 can transmit without receiving a reply from the client device 100. Namely, Com#2 is a single flight.
[0109] (S107) The communication unit 113 receives the ServerHello{ID
S0}, the ServerKeyExchange{R
S0}, and the Finished(S).
[0110] The shared-key generation unit 114 generates a shared key Z
C by using the server-generated key material Rso extracted from the ServerKeyExchange, the random number r
C, the private key Sc corresponding to the identifier ID
c, and the public parameter e. In this case, the shared key Z
c is given by the following expression (15). Next, in accordance with the TLS specification (see the above expressions (9) to (12)), the shared-key generation unit 114 generates master private information M
C by using the shared key Z
C as pre-master private information.
[0111] (S108) The verification processing unit 115 generates a client-generated verifier (verifier verify_data) by using the master private information M
C. In S108, the verification processing unit 115 generates the verifier verify_data by using the same method as that is used for the above master private information M
S. However, the generation method differs in that the master private information Mc is used as master_secret and a byte string "client finished" is used as finished_label.
[0112] The verification processing unit 115 determines whether the server-generated verifier extracted from the Finished(S) and the client-generated verifier match. If the server-generated verifier and the client-generated verifier match, success of the authentication is determined. In contrast, if the server-generated verifier and the client-generated verifier do not match, failure of the authentication is determined.
[0113] (S109) The communication unit 113 includes the client-generated verifier in a Finished(C). Next, the communication unit 113 transmits the Finished(C) to the server device 200. Since the client device 100 can transmit the Finished(C) (Com#3) without receiving a reply from the server device 200 in response to other messages, this transmission is made in a single flight.
[0114] (S110) The verification processing unit 215 determines whether the client-generated verifier extracted from the Finished(C) and the server-generated verifier generated in S106 match. If the server-generated verifier and the client-generated verifier match, success of the authentication is determined. In contrast, if the server-generated verifier and the client-generated verifier do not match, failure of the authentication is determined.
[0115] After completion of the processing in S110, the series of processing illustrated in FIG. 6 is ended. As described above, as illustrated in the sequence in FIG. 6, three flights (Com#1, #2, #3) are performed in a handshake.
(Sequence: when there is an error in server identification information)
[0116] Next, a flow of authentication processing (with an error) performed when the server device 200 does not accept the identifier transmitted from the client device 100 to the server device 200 as the server identification information used in the authentication processing will be described with reference to FIG. 7. FIG. 7 is a sequence diagram illustrating a flow of authentication processing (with an error) according to the second embodiment.
[0117] (S121) The communication unit 113 includes the client identification information 111a (an identifier ID
C) and the server identification information 111b (an identifier ID
S0) used in the authentication processing in a ClientHello. The communication unit 113 transmits the ClientHello{ID
C,ID
S0} to the server device 200.
[0118] (S122) The key material generation unit 112 generates a random number r
C0. In addition, the key material generation unit 112 generates a public key P
S0 (P
S0 = H (ID
S0) P + P
0) of the server device 200 by using the public parameters H, P, and P
0 and the identifier ID
S0. Next, the key material generation unit 112 generates a client-generated key material Rco (Rco = rcoPso) by using the random number rco and the public key Pso of the server device 200.
[0119] The communication unit 113 includes the client-generated key material Rco in a ClientKeyExchange. Next, the communication unit 113 transmits the ClientKeyExchange{Rco} to the server device 200.
[0120] (S123) The communication unit 212 extracts the identifier ID
S0 from the ClientHello and determines whether to accept the identifier ID
S0 as the identifier used in this authentication processing. In the example in FIG. 7, the identifier ID
S0 is not accepted. For example, the identifier ID
S0 is not accepted when the validity period of the identifier ID
S0 is expired.
[0121] (S124) The communication unit 212 includes an error, which is information indicating occurrence of an error, and an identifier ID
S1, which is acceptable as the identifier used in the authentication processing, in a ServerHello. As needed, such a ServerHello including the error and the identifier ID
S1 will be expressed as a ServerHello{error,ID
S1}. The communication unit 212 transmits the ServerHello{error,ID
S1} to the client device 100.
[0122] (S125) When receiving the ServerHello{error,ID
S1}, the communication unit 113 determines whether to accept the identifier ID
S1 and proceed with the authentication processing by using the identifier IDsi. In the example in FIG. 7, the identifier IDsi is accepted.
[0123] The key material generation unit 112 generates a random number r
C1. In addition, the key material generation unit 112 generates a public key Psi (Psi = H(ID
S1)P + P
0) of the server device 200 by using the public parameters H, P, and P
0 and the identifier IDsi. Next, the key material generation unit 112 generates a client-generated key material R
C1 (R
C1 = r
C1P
S1) by using the random number r
C1 and the public key P
S1 of the server device 200.
[0124] The communication unit 113 includes the client-generated key material R
C1 in a ClientKeyExchange. Next, the communication unit 113 transmits the ClientKeyExchange{Rci} to the server device 200.
[0125] (S126) The communication unit 212 receives the ClientKeyExchange{R
C1}. Next, the key material generation unit 213 generates a random number r
S1. In addition, the key material generation unit 213 generates a public key P
C (Pc = H(IDc)P + P
0) of the client device 100 by using the public parameters H, P, and P
0 and the identifier IDc extracted from the ClientHello. In addition, the key material generation unit 213 generates a server-generated key material R
S1 (R
S1 = r
S1P
C) by using the random number r
S1 and the public key P
C.
[0126] The shared-key generation unit 214 generates a shared key Z
S by using the client-generated key material R
C1 extracted from the ClientKeyExchange, the random number rsi, the private key S
S1 corresponding to the identifier ID
S1, and the public parameter e. In this case, the shared key Z
S is given by the following expression (16). In addition, in accordance with the TLS specification (see the above expressions (9) to (12)), the shared-key generation unit 214 generates master private information M
S by using the shared key Z
S as pre-master private information.
[0127] (S127) The communication unit 212 includes the server-generated key material R
S1 generated in S126 in a ServerKeyExchange. Next, the communication unit 212 transmits the ServerKeyExchange{R
S1} to the client device 100.
[0128] (S128) The verification processing unit 215 generates a server-generated verifier (verifier verify_data) by using the master private information M
S. The communication unit 212 includes the server-generated verifier in a Finished(S). Next, the communication unit 212 transmits the Finished(S) to the client device 100.
[0129] (S129) The communication unit 113 receives the ServerKeyExchange{Rsi} and the Finished(S).
[0130] The shared-key generation unit 114 generates a shared key Zc by using the server-generated key material R
S1 extracted from the ServerKeyExchange, the random number r
C1, the private key Sc corresponding to the identifier IDc, and the public parameter e. In this case, the shared key Z
c is given by the following expression (17). Next, in accordance with the TLS specification (see the above expressions (9) to (12)), the shared-key generation unit 114 generates master private information Mc by using the shared key Z
C as pre-master private information.
[0131] (S130) The verification processing unit 115 generates a client-generated verifier (verifier verify_data) by using the master private information Mc. In addition, the verification processing unit 115 determines whether the server-generated verifier extracted from the Finished(S) and the client-generated verifier match. If the server-generated verifier and the client-generated verifier match, success of the authentication is determined. In contrast, if the server-generated verifier and the client-generated verifier do not match, failure of the authentication is determined.
[0132] (S131) The communication unit 113 includes the client-generated verifier in a Finished(C). Next, the communication unit 113 transmits the Finished(C) to the server device 200.

[0228] If the communication unit 212 accepts the identifier ID
C, the key material generation unit 213 extracts a client-generated key material R
C0 from the ClientKeyExchange and generates a random number r
S0. In addition, the key material generation unit 213 generates a public key P
C (P
C = H(ID
C)P + P
0) of the client device 100 by using the public parameters H, P, and P
0 and the identifier ID
C extracted from the ClientHello. In addition, the key material generation unit 213 generates a server-generated key material R
S0 (R
S0 = r
S0P
C) by using the random number r
S0 and the public key P
C.
[0229] The shared-key generation unit 214 generates a shared key Z
S by using the client-generated key material R
C0 extracted from the ClientKeyExchange, the random number r
S0, the private key S
S0 corresponding to an identifier ID
S0, and the public parameter e. Next, in accordance with the TLS specification, the shared-key generation unit 214 generates master private information Ms by using the shared key Z
S as pre-master private information.
[0230] The communication unit 212 includes the identifier ID
S0 in a ServerHello. In addition, the communication unit 212 includes the server-generated key material R
S0 in a ServerKeyExchange. Next, the communication unit 212 transmits the ServerHello{ID
S0} and the ServerKeyExchange{R
S0} to the client device 100. The verification processing unit 215 generates a server-generated verifier (verifier verify_data) by using the master private information M
S. The communication unit 212 includes the server-generated verifier in a Finished(S) and transmits the Finished(S) to the client device 100.
(Transition S03)
[0231] The condition regarding the transition S03 is met when the server device 200 in the state S0 receives a ClientHello and a ClientKeyExchange and does not accept an ID
S0 in the ClientHello. For example, if the validity period of the identifier IDso is expired, the server device 200 does not accept the identifier ID
S0.
[0232] In the transition S03, the communication unit 212 extracts an identifier ID
C from the ClientHello and determines whether to accept the identifier ID
C as the identifier of the client device 100 that wishes to be the communication peer in the authentication processing.
[0233] For example, when a validity period is set to the identifier IDc, unless the validity period is expired, the communication unit 212 accepts the identifier ID
C. When the server device 200 holds a list of the identifiers of the client devices authorized as handshake peers, if the identifier ID
C is included in the list, the communication unit 212 accepts the identifier ID
C. If the communication unit 212 does not accept the identifier ID
C, failure of the handshake is determined.
[0234] If the communication unit 212 does not accept the identifier ID
C, the communication unit 212 determines an alternative identifier ID
S1 acceptable as the identifier used in the authentication. The key material generation unit 213 extracts a client-generated key material Rci from the ClientKeyExchange and generates a random number rsi. In addition, the key material generation unit 213 generates a public key P
C (P
C = H(ID
C)P + P
0) of the client device 100 by using the public parameters H, P, and P
0 and the identifier ID
C extracted from the ClientHello. Next, the key material generation unit 213 generates a server-generated key material R
S1 (R
S1 = r
S1P
C) by using the random number rsi and the public key P
C.
[0235] The communication unit 212 includes an error, which is information indicating occurrence of an error, and the identifier ID
S1 in a ServerHello and transmits the ServerHello{error,ID
S1} to the client device 100. In addition, the communication unit 212 includes the server-generated key material R
S1 in a ServerKeyExchange and transmits the ServerKeyExchange{R
S1} to the client device 100.
(Transition S32)
[0236] The condition regarding the transition S32 is met when the server device 200 in the state S3 receives a ClientKeyExchange.
[0237] In the transition S32, the key material generation unit 213 extracts a client-generated key material R
C1 from the ClientKeyExchange and generates a random number r
S1. In addition, the key material generation unit 213 generates a public key P
C (P
C = H(ID
C)P + P
0) of the client device 100 by using the public parameters H, P, and P
0 and the identifier ID
C extracted from the ClientHello. In addition, the key material generation unit 213 generates a server-generated key material R
S1 (R
S1 = r
S1P
C) by using the random number r
S1 and the public key P
C.
[0238] The shared-key generation unit 214 generates a shared key Z
S by using the client-generated key material R
C1 extracted from the ClientKeyExchange, the random number rsi, the private key S
S1 corresponding to the identifier ID
S1, and the public parameter e. Next, in accordance with the TLS specification, the shared-key generation unit 214 generates master private information M
S by using the shared key Z
S as pre-master private information.
[0239] The verification processing unit 215 generates a server-generated verifier (verifier verify_data) by using the master private information M
S. In addition, the verification processing unit 215 determines whether a client-generated verifier extracted from the Finished(C) and the server-generated verifier match. If the server-generated verifier and the client-generated verifier do not match, failure of the handshake is determined. If the server-generated verifier and the client-generated verifier match, the communication unit 212 includes the server-generated verifier in a Finished(S) and transmits the Finished(S) to the client device 100.
(Transition S12)
[0240] The condition regarding the transition S12 is met when the server device 200 in the state S1 receives a Finished(C).
[0241] The verification processing unit 215 determines whether a client-generated verifier extracted from the Finished(C) and the server-generated verifier match. If the server-generated verifier and the client-generated verifier do not match, failure of the handshake is determined.
[0242] The second embodiment has thus been described.
[0243] According to one aspect, the authentication time is reduced.
