1. Introduction
-
The Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP) [RFC3711] is a profile of the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) [RFC3550], which can provide confidentiality, message authentication, and replay protection to the RTP traffic and to the control traffic for RTP, the Real-time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP). It is important to note that the outgoing SRTP packets from a single endpoint may be originating from several independent data sources.
Authenticated Encryption [BN00] is a form of encryption that, in addition to providing confidentiality for the Plaintext that is encrypted, provides a way to check its integrity and authenticity. Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data, or AEAD [R02], adds the ability to check the integrity and authenticity of some Associated Data (AD), also called "Additional Authenticated Data" (AAD), that is not encrypted. This specification makes use of the interface to a generic AEAD algorithm as defined in [RFC5116].
The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a block cipher that provides a high level of security and can accept different key sizes. AES Galois/Counter Mode (AES-GCM) [GCM] is a family of AEAD algorithms based upon AES. This specification makes use of the AES versions that use 128-bit and 256-bit keys, which we call "AES-128" and "AES-256", respectively.
Any AEAD algorithm provides an intrinsic authentication tag. In many applications, the authentication tag is truncated to less than full length. In this specification, the authentication tag MUST NOT be truncated. The authentications tags MUST be a full 16 octets in length. When used in SRTP/SRTCP, AES-GCM will have two configurations:
AEAD_AES_128_GCM AES-128 with a 16-octet authentication tag AEAD_AES_256_GCM AES-256 with a 16-octet authentication tagThe key size is set when the session is initiated and SHOULD NOT be altered.
The Galois/Counter Mode of operation (GCM) is an AEAD mode of operation for block ciphers. GCM uses Counter Mode to encrypt the data, an operation that can be efficiently pipelined. Further, GCM authentication uses operations that are particularly well suited to efficient implementation in hardware, making it especially appealing for high-speed implementations, or for implementations in an efficient and compact circuit.
In summary, this document defines how to use an AEAD algorithm, particularly AES-GCM, to provide confidentiality and message authentication within SRTP and SRTCP packets.

3. Overview of the SRTP/SRTCP AEAD Security Architecture
-
SRTP/SRTCP AEAD security is based upon the following principles:
-
a) Both privacy and authentication are based upon the use of
-
symmetric algorithms. An AEAD algorithm such as AES-GCM
combines privacy and authentication into a single process.
-
-
b) A secret master key is shared by all participating endpoints --
-
both those originating SRTP/SRTCP packets and those receiving these packets. Any given master key MAY be used simultaneously by several endpoints to originate SRTP/SRTCP packets (as well as one or more endpoints using this master key to process inbound data).
c) A Key Derivation Function (KDF) is applied to the shared master
-
key value to form separate encryption keys, authentication keys, and salting keys for SRTP and for SRTCP (a total of six keys). This process is described in Section 4.3 of [RFC3711]. The master key MUST be at least as large as the encryption key derived from it. Since AEAD algorithms such as AES-GCM combine encryption and authentication into a single process, AEAD algorithms do not make use of separate authentication keys.
d) Aside from making modifications to IANA registries to allow
-
AES-GCM to work with Security Descriptions (SDES), Datagram Transport Layer Security for Secure RTP (DTLS-SRTP), and Multimedia Internet KEYing (MIKEY), the details of how the master key is established and shared between the participants are outside the scope of this document. Similarly, any mechanism for rekeying an existing session is outside the scope of the document.
e) Each time an instantiation of AES-GCM is invoked to encrypt and
-
authenticate an SRTP or SRTCP data packet, a new Initialization Vector (IV) is used. SRTP combines the 4-octet Synchronization Source (SSRC) identifier, the 4-octet Rollover Counter (ROC), and the 2-octet Sequence Number (SEQ) with the 12-octet encryption salt to form a 12-octet IV (see Section 8.1). SRTCP combines the SSRC and 31-bit SRTCP index with the encryption salt to form a 12-octet IV (see Section 9.1).
-
4. Terminology
-
The following terms have very specific meanings in the context of this RFC:
-
Instantiation:
-
-
-
-
In AEAD, an instantiation is an (Encryption_key, salt) pair together with all of the data structures (for example, counters) needed for it to function properly. In SRTP/SRTCP, each endpoint will need two instantiations of the AEAD algorithm for each master key in its possession: one instantiation for SRTP traffic and one instantiation for SRTCP traffic.
-
-
-
Invocation: SRTP/SRTCP data streams are broken into packets. Each packet is processed by a single invocation of the appropriate instantiation of the AEAD algorithm.In many applications, each endpoint will have one master key for processing outbound data but may have one or more separate master keys for processing inbound data.
-
5. Generic AEAD Processing
5.1. Types of Input Data
-
-
Associated Data:
-
-
-
-
Data that is to be authenticated but not encrypted.
-
-
-
Plaintext: Data that is to be both encrypted and authenticated. Raw Data: Data that is to be neither encrypted nor authenticated.Which portions of SRTP/SRTCP packets that are to be treated as Associated Data, which are to be treated as Plaintext, and which are to be treated as Raw Data are covered in Sections 8.2, 9.2, and 9.3.
-
5.2. AEAD Invocation Inputs and Outputs
5.2.1. Encrypt Mode
-
-
Inputs:
Encryption_key Octet string, either 16 or 32 octets long Initialization_Vector Octet string, 12 octets long Associated_Data Octet string of variable length Plaintext Octet string of variable length-
Outputs:
Ciphertext* Octet string, length = length(Plaintext) + tag_length-
(*):
-
In AEAD, the authentication tag in embedded in the ciphertext. When GCM is being used, the ciphertext consists of the encrypted Plaintext followed by the authentication tag.
-
5.2.2. Decrypt Mode
-
-
Inputs:
Encryption_key Octet string, either 16 or 32 octets long Initialization_Vector Octet string, 12 octets long Associated_Data Octet string of variable length Ciphertext Octet string of variable length-
Outputs:
Plaintext Octet string, length = length(Ciphertext) - tag_length Validity_Flag Boolean, TRUE if valid, FALSE otherwise -
5.3. Handling of AEAD Authentication
-
AEAD requires that all incoming packets MUST pass AEAD authentication before any other action takes place. Plaintext and Associated Data MUST NOT be released until the AEAD authentication tag has been validated. Further, the ciphertext MUST NOT be decrypted until the AEAD tag has been validated.
Should the AEAD tag prove to be invalid, the packet in question is to be discarded and a Validation Error flag raised. Local policy determines how this flag is to be handled and is outside the scope of this document.
6. Counter Mode Encryption
-
Each outbound packet uses a 12-octet IV and an encryption key to form two outputs:
- a 16-octet first_key_block, which is used in forming the authentication tag, and
- a keystream of octets, formed in blocks of 16 octets each
The first 16-octet block of the key is saved for use in forming the authentication tag, and the remainder of the keystream is XORed to the Plaintext to form the cipher. This keystream is formed one block at a time by inputting the concatenation of a 12-octet IV (see Sections 8.1 and 9.1) with a 4-octet block to AES. The pseudocode below illustrates this process:
def GCM_keystream( Plaintext_len, IV, Encryption_key ):
assert Plaintext_len <= (2**36) - 32 ## measured in octets key_stream = "" block_counter = 1 first_key_block = AES_ENC( data=IV||block_counter, key=Encryption_key ) while len(key_stream) < Plaintext_len: block_counter = block_counter + 1 key_block = AES_ENC( data=IV||block_counter, key=Encryption_key ) key_stream = key_stream||key_block key_stream = truncate( key_stream, Plaintext_len ) return( first_key_block, key_stream )In theory, this keystream generation process allows for the encryption of up to (2^36) - 32 octets per invocation (i.e., per packet), far longer than is actually required.
With any counter mode, if the same (IV, Encryption_key) pair is used twice, precisely the same keystream is formed. As explained in Section 9.1 of [RFC3711], this is a cryptographic disaster. For GCM, the consequences are even worse, since such a reuse compromises GCM's integrity mechanism not only for the current packet stream but for all future uses of the current encryption_key.
7. Unneeded SRTP/SRTCP Fields
-
AEAD Counter Mode encryption removes the need for certain existing SRTP/SRTCP mechanisms.
7.1. SRTP/SRTCP Authentication Tag Field
-
The AEAD message authentication mechanism MUST be the primary message authentication mechanism for AEAD SRTP/SRTCP. Additional SRTP/SRTCP authentication mechanisms SHOULD NOT be used with any AEAD algorithm, and the optional SRTP/SRTCP authentication tags are NOT RECOMMENDED and SHOULD NOT be present. Note that this contradicts Section 3.4 of [RFC3711], which makes the use of the SRTCP authentication tag field mandatory, but the presence of the AEAD authentication renders the older authentication methods redundant.
-
Rationale: Some applications use the SRTP/SRTCP authentication tag as a means of conveying additional information, notably [RFC4771]. This document retains the authentication tag field primarily to preserve compatibility with these applications.
-
7.2. RTP Padding
-
AES-GCM does not require that the data be padded out to a specific block size, reducing the need to use the padding mechanism provided by RTP. It is RECOMMENDED that the RTP padding mechanism not be used unless it is necessary to disguise the length of the underlying Plaintext.

Figure 1: AES-GCM SRTP Initialization Vector Formation
-
The 12-octet IV used by AES-GCM SRTP is formed by first concatenating 2 octets of zeroes, the 4-octet SSRC, the 4-octet rollover counter (ROC), and the 2-octet sequence number (SEQ). The resulting 12-octet value is then XORed to the 12-octet salt to form the 12-octet IV.
8.2. Data Types in SRTP Packets
-
All SRTP packets MUST be both authenticated and encrypted. The data fields within the RTP packets are broken into Associated Data, Plaintext, and Raw Data, as follows (see Figure 2):
-
Associated Data:
-
-
-
-
The version V (2 bits), padding flag P (1 bit), extension flag X (1 bit), Contributing Source (CSRC) count CC (4 bits), marker M (1 bit), Payload Type PT (7 bits), sequence number (16 bits), timestamp (32 bits), SSRC (32 bits), optional CSRC identifiers (32 bits each), and optional RTP extension (variable length).
-
-
-
Plaintext: The RTP payload (variable length), RTP padding (if used, variable length), and RTP pad count (if used, 1 octet). Raw Data: The optional variable-length SRTP Master Key Identifier (MKI) and SRTP authentication tag (whose use is NOT RECOMMENDED). These fields are appended after encryption has been performed. 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ A |V=2|P|X| CC |M| PT | sequence number | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ A | timestamp | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ A | synchronization source (SSRC) identifier | +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ A | contributing source (CSRC) identifiers (optional) | A | .... | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ A | RTP extension (OPTIONAL) | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ P | payload ... | P | +-------------------------------+ P | | RTP padding | RTP pad count | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-

Figure 2: Structure of an RTP Packet before Authenticated Encryption
Since the AEAD ciphertext is larger than the Plaintext by exactly the length of the AEAD authentication tag, the corresponding SRTP-encrypted packet replaces the Plaintext field with a slightly larger field containing the cipher. Even if the Plaintext field is empty, AEAD encryption must still be performed, with the resulting cipher consisting solely of the authentication tag. This tag is to be placed immediately before the optional variable-length SRTP MKI and SRTP authentication tag fields.

8.3. Handling Header Extensions
-
RTP header extensions were first defined in [RFC3550]. [RFC6904] describes how these header extensions are to be encrypted in SRTP.
When RFC 6904 is in use, a separate keystream is generated to encrypt selected RTP header extension elements. For the AEAD_AES_128_GCM algorithm, this keystream MUST be generated in the manner defined in [RFC6904], using the AES Counter Mode (AES-CM) transform. For the
AEAD_AES_256_GCM algorithm, the keystream MUST be generated in the manner defined for the AES_256_CM transform. The originator must perform any required header extension encryption before the AEAD algorithm is invoked.
As with the other fields contained within the RTP header, both encrypted and unencrypted header extensions are to be treated by the AEAD algorithm as Associated Data (AD). Thus, the AEAD algorithm does not provide any additional privacy for the header extensions, but it does provide integrity and authentication.
8.4. Prevention of SRTP IV Reuse
-
In order to prevent IV reuse, we must ensure that the (ROC,SEQ,SSRC) triple is never used twice with the same master key. The following two scenarios illustrate this issue:
-
Counter Management:
-
-
-
-
-
A rekey MUST be performed to establish a new master key before the (ROC,SEQ) pair cycles back to its original value. Note that this scenario implicitly assumes that either (1) the outgoing RTP process is trusted to not attempt to repeat a (ROC,SEQ) value or (2) the encryption process ensures that both the SEQ and ROC numbers of the packets presented to it are always incremented in the proper fashion. This is particularly important for GCM, since using the same (ROC,SEQ) value twice compromises the authentication mechanism. For GCM, the (ROC,SEQ) and SSRC values used MUST be generated or checked by either the SRTP implementation or a module (e.g., the RTP application) that can be considered equally trustworthy. While [RFC3711] allows the detection of SSRC collisions after they happen, SRTP using GCM with shared master keys MUST prevent an SSRC collision from happening even once.
-
-
-
-
SSRC Management: For a given master key, the set of all SSRC values used with that master key must be partitioned into disjoint pools, one pool for each endpoint using that master key to originate outbound data. Each such originating endpoint MUST only issue SSRC values from the pool it has been assigned. Further, each originating endpoint MUST maintain a history of outbound SSRC-
-
-
-
-
-
identifiers that it has issued within the lifetime of the current master key, and when a new SSRC requests an SSRC identifier it MUST NOT be given an identifier that has been previously issued. A rekey MUST be performed before any of the originating endpoints using that master key exhaust their pools of SSRC values. Further, the identity of the entity giving out SSRC values MUST be verified, and the SSRC signaling MUST be integrity protected.
-
-
-
-
-
-
9. AES-GCM Processing of SRTCP Compound Packets
-
All SRTCP compound packets MUST be authenticated, but unlike SRTP, SRTCP packet encryption is optional. A sender can select which packets to encrypt and indicates this choice with a 1-bit Encryption flag (located just before the 31-bit SRTCP index).
9.1. SRTCP IV Formation for AES-GCM
-
The 12-octet IV used by AES-GCM SRTCP is formed by first concatenating 2 octets of zeroes, the 4-octet SSRC identifier, 2 octets of zeroes, a single "0" bit, and the 31-bit SRTCP index. The resulting 12-octet value is then XORed to the 12-octet salt to form the 12-octet IV.

Figure 5: AEAD SRTCP Inputs When Encryption Flag = 1
(The fields are defined in RFC 3550.)
-
When the Encryption flag is set to 1, the SRTCP packet is broken into Plaintext, Associated Data, and Raw (untouched) Data (as shown above in Figure 5):
-
Associated Data:
-
-
-
-
The packet version V (2 bits), padding flag P (1 bit), reception report count RC (5 bits), Packet Type (8 bits), length (2 octets), SSRC (4 octets), Encryption flag (1 bit), and SRTCP index (31 bits).
-
-
-
Raw Data: The optional variable-length SRTCP MKI and SRTCP authentication tag (whose use is NOT RECOMMENDED). Plaintext: All other data.Note that the Plaintext comes in one contiguous field. Since the AEAD cipher is larger than the Plaintext by exactly the length of the AEAD authentication tag, the corresponding SRTCP-encrypted packet replaces the Plaintext field with a slightly larger field containing the cipher. Even if the Plaintext field is empty, AEAD encryption must still be performed, with the resulting cipher consisting solely of the authentication tag. This tag is to be placed immediately before the Encryption flag and SRTCP index.

Figure 6: AEAD SRTCP Inputs When Encryption Flag = 0
-
When the Encryption flag is set to 0, the SRTCP compound packet is broken into Plaintext, Associated Data, and Raw (untouched) Data, as follows (see Figure 6):
Plaintext: None. Raw Data: The variable-length optional SRTCP MKI and SRTCP authentication tag (whose use is NOT RECOMMENDED).-
Associated Data: All other data.
Even though there is no ciphertext in this RTCP packet, AEAD encryption returns a cipher field that is precisely the length of the AEAD authentication tag. This cipher is to be placed before the Encryption flag and the SRTCP index in the authenticated SRTCP packet.
-
9.4. Prevention of SRTCP IV Reuse
-
A new master key MUST be established before the 31-bit SRTCP index cycles back to its original value. Ideally, a rekey should be performed and a new master key put in place well before the SRTCP index cycles back to the starting value.
The comments on SSRC management in Section 8.4 also apply.
10. Constraints on AEAD for SRTP and SRTCP
-
In general, any AEAD algorithm can accept inputs with varying lengths, but each algorithm can accept only a limited range of lengths for a specific parameter. In this section, we describe the constraints on the parameter lengths that any AEAD algorithm must support to be used in AEAD-SRTP. Additionally, we specify a complete parameter set for one specific family of AEAD algorithms, namely AES-GCM.
All AEAD algorithms used with SRTP/SRTCP MUST satisfy the five constraints listed below:
Parameter Meaning Value --------------------------------------------------------------------- A_MAX maximum Associated MUST be at least 12 octets. Data length N_MIN minimum nonce (IV) MUST be 12 octets. length N_MAX maximum nonce (IV) MUST be 12 octets. length P_MAX maximum Plaintext GCM: MUST be <= 2^36 - 32 octets. length per invocation C_MAX maximum ciphertext GCM: MUST be <= 2^36 - 16 octets. length per invocationFor the sake of clarity, we specify three additional parameters:
AEAD authentication tag length MUST be 16 octets Maximum number of invocations SRTP: MUST be at most 2^48 for a given instantiation SRTCP: MUST be at most 2^31 Block Counter size GCM: MUST be 32 bitsThe reader is reminded that the ciphertext is longer than the Plaintext by exactly the length of the AEAD authentication tag.
11. Key Derivation Functions
-
A Key Derivation Function (KDF) is used to derive all of the required encryption and authentication keys from a secret value shared by the endpoints. The AEAD_AES_128_GCM algorithm MUST use the (128-bit) AES_CM PRF KDF described in [RFC3711]. AEAD_AES_256_GCM MUST use the AES_256_CM_PRF KDF described in [RFC6188].
12. Summary of AES-GCM in SRTP/SRTCP
-
For convenience, much of the information about the use of the AES-GCM family of algorithms in SRTP is collected in the tables contained in this section.
The AES-GCM family of AEAD algorithms is built around the AES block cipher algorithm. AES-GCM uses AES-CM for encryption and Galois Message Authentication Code (GMAC) for authentication. A detailed description of the AES-GCM family can be found in [RFC5116]. The following members of the AES-GCM family may be used with SRTP/SRTCP:
Name Key Size AEAD Tag Size Reference ================================================================ AEAD_AES_128_GCM 16 octets 16 octets [RFC5116] AEAD_AES_256_GCM 32 octets 16 octets [RFC5116]
Table 1: AES-GCM Algorithms for SRTP/SRTCP
-
Any implementation of AES-GCM SRTP MUST support both AEAD_AES_128_GCM and AEAD_AES_256_GCM. Below, we summarize parameters associated with these two GCM algorithms:
+--------------------------------+------------------------------+ | Parameter | Value | +--------------------------------+------------------------------+ | Master key length | 128 bits | | Master salt length | 96 bits | | Key Derivation Function | AES_CM PRF [RFC3711] | | Maximum key lifetime (SRTP) | 2^48 packets | | Maximum key lifetime (SRTCP) | 2^31 packets | | Cipher (for SRTP and SRTCP) | AEAD_AES_128_GCM | | AEAD authentication tag length | 128 bits | +--------------------------------+------------------------------+

13. Security Considerations
13.1. Handling of Security-Critical Parameters
-
As with any security process, the implementer must take care to ensure that cryptographically sensitive parameters are properly handled. Many of these recommendations hold for all SRTP cryptographic algorithms, but we include them here to emphasize their importance.
- If the master salt is to be kept secret, it MUST be properly erased when no longer needed.
- The secret master key and all keys derived from it MUST be kept secret. All keys MUST be properly erased when no longer needed.
- At the start of each packet, the Block Counter MUST be reset to 1. The Block Counter is incremented after each block key has been produced, but it MUST NOT be allowed to exceed 2^32 - 1 for GCM. Note that even though the Block Counter is reset at the start of each packet, IV uniqueness is ensured by the inclusion of SSRC/ROC/SEQ or the SRTCP index in the IV. (The reader is reminded that the first block of key produced is reserved for use in authenticating the packet and is not used to encrypt Plaintext.)
- Each time a rekey occurs, the initial values of both the 31-bit SRTCP index and the 48-bit SRTP packet index (ROC||SEQ) MUST be saved in order to prevent IV reuse.
- Processing MUST cease if either the 31-bit SRTCP index or the 48-bit SRTP packet index (ROC||SEQ) cycles back to its initial value. Processing MUST NOT resume until a new SRTP/SRTCP session has been established using a new SRTP master key. Ideally, a rekey should be done well before any of these counters cycle.
13.2. Size of the Authentication Tag
-
We require that the AEAD authentication tag be 16 octets, in order to effectively eliminate the risk of an adversary successfully introducing fraudulent data. Though other protocols may allow the use of truncated authentication tags, the consensus of the authors and the working group is that risks associated with using truncated AES-GCM tags are deemed too high to allow the use of truncated authentication tags in SRTP/SRTCP.
14. IANA Considerations
14.1. SDES
-
"Session Description Protocol (SDP) Security Descriptions for Media Streams" [RFC4568] defines SRTP "crypto suites". A crypto suite corresponds to a particular AEAD algorithm in SRTP. In order to allow security descriptions to signal the use of the algorithms defined in this document, IANA has registered the following crypto suites in the "SRTP Crypto Suite Registrations" subregistry of the "Session Description Protocol (SDP) Security Descriptions" registry. The ABNF [RFC5234] syntax is as follows:
srtp-crypto-suite-ext = "AEAD_AES_128_GCM" / "AEAD_AES_256_GCM" / srtp-crypto-suite-ext
14.2. DTLS-SRTP
-
DTLS-SRTP [RFC5764] defines DTLS-SRTP "SRTP protection profiles". These profiles also correspond to the use of an AEAD algorithm in SRTP. In order to allow the use of the algorithms defined in this document in DTLS-SRTP, IANA has registered the following SRTP protection profiles:
SRTP_AEAD_AES_128_GCM = {0x00, 0x07} SRTP_AEAD_AES_256_GCM = {0x00, 0x08}Below, we list the SRTP transform parameters for each of these protection profiles. Unless separate parameters for SRTP and SRTCP are explicitly listed, these parameters apply to both SRTP and SRTCP.
SRTP_AEAD_AES_128_GCM
cipher: AES_128_GCM cipher_key_length: 128 bits cipher_salt_length: 96 bits aead_auth_tag_length: 16 octets auth_function: NULL auth_key_length: N/A auth_tag_length: N/A maximum lifetime: at most 2^31 SRTCP packets and at most 2^48 SRTP packetsSRTP_AEAD_AES_256_GCM
cipher: AES_256_GCM cipher_key_length: 256 bits cipher_salt_length: 96 bits aead_auth_tag_length: 16 octets auth_function: NULL auth_key_length: N/A auth_tag_length: N/A maximum lifetime: at most 2^31 SRTCP packets and at most 2^48 SRTP packetsNote that these SRTP protection profiles do not specify an auth_function, auth_key_length, or auth_tag_length, because all of these profiles use AEAD algorithms and thus do not use a separate auth_function, auth_key, or auth_tag. The term "aead_auth_tag_length" is used to emphasize that this refers to the authentication tag provided by the AEAD algorithm and that this tag is not located in the authentication tag field provided by SRTP/SRTCP.
14.3. MIKEY
-
In accordance with "MIKEY: Multimedia Internet KEYing" [RFC3830], IANA maintains several subregistries under "Multimedia Internet KEYing (MIKEY) Payload Name Spaces". Per this document, additions have been made to two of the MIKEY subregistries.
In the "MIKEY Security Protocol Parameters" subregistry, the following has been added:
Type | Meaning | Possible Values -------------------------------------------------------- 20 | AEAD authentication tag length | 16 octetsThis list is, of course, intended for use with GCM. It is conceivable that new AEAD algorithms introduced at some point in the future may require a different set of authentication tag lengths.
In the "Encryption algorithm (Value 0)" subregistry (derived from Table 6.10.1.b of [RFC3830]), the following has been added:
SRTP Encr. | Value | Default Session | Default Auth. Algorithm | | Encr. Key Length | Tag Length ----------------------------------------------------------- AES-GCM | 6 | 16 octets | 16 octetsThe encryption algorithm, session encryption key length, and AEAD authentication tag sizes received from MIKEY fully determine the AEAD algorithm to be used. The exact mapping is described in Section 15.
15. Parameters for Use with MIKEY
-
MIKEY specifies the algorithm family separately from the key length (which is specified by the Session Encryption key length) and the authentication tag length (specified by the AEAD authentication tag length).
+------------+-------------+-------------+ | Encryption | Encryption | AEAD Auth. | | Algorithm | Key Length | Tag Length | +============+=============+=============+ AEAD_AES_128_GCM | AES-GCM | 16 octets | 16 octets | +------------+-------------+-------------+ AEAD_AES_256_GCM | AES-GCM | 32 octets | 16 octets | +============+=============+=============+
Table 4: Mapping MIKEY Parameters to AEAD Algorithms
-
Section 11 of this document restricts the choice of KDF for AEAD algorithms. To enforce this restriction in MIKEY, we require that the SRTP Pseudorandom Function (PRF) has value AES-CM whenever an AEAD algorithm is used. Note that, according to Section 6.10.1 of [RFC3830], the input key length of the KDF (i.e., the SRTP master key length) is always equal to the session encryption key length. This means, for example, that AEAD_AES_256_GCM will use AES_256_CM_PRF as the KDF.
16. Some RTP Test Vectors

consisting of a 12-octet header (8040f17b 8041f8d3 5501a0b2) and a 38-octet payload (47616c6c 69612065 7374206f 6d6e6973 20646976 69736120 696e2070 61727465 73207472 6573), which is just the ASCII string "Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres". The salt used (51756964 2070726f 2071756f) comes from the ASCII string "Quid pro quo". The 16-octet (128-bit) key is 00 01 02 ... 0f, and the 32-octet (256-bit) key is 00 01 02 ... 1f. At the time this document was written, the RTP payload type (1000000 binary = 64 decimal) was an unassigned value.
As shown in Section 8.1, the IV is formed by XORing two 12-octet values. The first 12-octet value is formed by concatenating two zero octets, the 4-octet SSRC (found in the ninth through 12th octets of the packet), the 4-octet rollover counter (ROC) maintained at each end of the link, and the 2-octet sequence number (SEQ) (found in the third and fourth octets of the packet). The second 12-octet value is the salt, a value that is held constant at least until the key is changed.

The examples in this section are all based upon the same RTCP packet:

with 32-bit SRTCP index 000005d4.
As shown in Section 9.1, the IV is formed by XORing two 12-octet values. The first 12-octet value is formed by concatenating two zero octets, the 4-octet SSRC (found in the fifth through eighth octets of the RTP packet), another two padding octets, and the 31-bit SRTCP index, right-justified in a 32-bit = 4-octet field with a single "0" bit prepended as padding. An example of SRTCP IV formation is shown below:
| Pad | SSRC | Pad | 0+SRTCP | 00 00 4d 61 72 73 00 00 00 00 05 d4 salt 51 75 69 64 20 70 72 6f 20 71 75 6f ------------------------------------ IV 51 75 24 05 52 03 72 6f 20 71 70 bbIn an SRTCP packet, a 1-bit Encryption flag is prepended to the 31-bit SRTCP index to form a 32-bit value we shall call the "ESRTCP word". The E-flag is one if the SRTCP packet has been encrypted and zero if it has been tagged but not encrypted. Note that the ESRTCP field is only present in an SRTCP packet, not in an RTCP packet. The full ESRTCP word is part of the AAD.
When encrypting and tagging an RTCP packet (E-flag = 1), the SRTCP packet consists of the following fields in the following order:
- The first 8 octets of the RTCP packet (part of the AAD).
- The cipher.
- The ESRTCP word (the final part of the AAD).
- Any Raw Data that might have been appended to the end of the original RTCP packet.
Recall that AEAD treats the authentication tag as an integral part of the cipher, and in fact the authentication tag is the last 8 or 16 octets of the cipher.
The reader is reminded that when the RTCP packet is to be tagged but not encrypted (E-flag = 0), GCM will produce a cipher that consists solely of the 8-octet or 16-octet authentication tag. The tagged SRTCP consists of the following fields in the order listed below:
- All of the AAD, except for the ESRTCP word.
- The cipher (= the authentication tag).
- The ESRTCP word (the final part of the AAD).
- Any Raw Data that might have been appended to the end of the original RTCP packet.
