Brian, >>> I was thinking the obvious man in middle attack tampering with v6 header by intermediate node and possible impact to AH if used. >> >> If AH is used, wouldn't A add the signature, and C when validating would know that B added the header and could do verification accordingly? >> For a controlled domain where all of A,B and C are acting in cohort, then that wouldn't be too far fetched to assume. >> At least a lot more probable than that AH would be used at all. ;-) >> >> Any other security issues you see? > > Two comments on this thread: > > 1) It isn't just AH that is broken; any form whatever of cryptographic authentication of the packet header or the packet as a whole between A and C is impossible unless the key is shared between A and B. But whether that matters or not is a domain-specific decision. If I'm outside the domain, why would I care? Right. I think Gyan's point was that header insertion made it harder to secure the tunnel between A and C. So mainly a problem for the controlled domain itself. ESP NULL would work fine probably, since it doesn't include payload length in the signature. And you can ensure whatever is inserted is also treated as mutable. Regardless, this is an inside the controlled domain problem, and one could probably define a suitable security scheme for it if required. > 2) For me the test that matters is not whether this all works, but whether the fact that it's happening can in principle be detected from outside the domain. If it can't be detected from outside, why would I care? > > Note that NAT fails test 2. I'm not convinced that SRH insertion inside a tunnel does so. I suppose header insertion has to pass both tests. It has to be transparent to the outside, and it has to be possible to secure within the domain. Cheers, Ole
