The information transmitted in the third exchange of messages is protected by the encryption algorithm established in the first two exchanges. In aggressive mode, the initiator and recipient accomplish the same objectives as with main mode, but in only two exchanges, with a total of three messages:. When configuring aggressive mode with multiple proposals for Phase 1 negotiations, use the same DH group in all proposals because the DH group cannot be negotiated. Up to four proposals can be configured.
Second message—The recipient accepts the SA; authenticates the initiator; and sends a pseudorandom number, its IKE identity, and, if using certificates, the recipient's certificate. Third message—The initiator authenticates the recipient, confirms the exchange, and, if using certificates, sends the initiator's certificate.
Main and aggressive modes applies only to IKEv1 protocol. IKEv2 protocol does not negotiate using main and aggressive modes. After the participants have established a secure and authenticated channel, they proceed through Phase 2, in which they negotiate security associations SAs to secure the data to be transmitted through the IPsec tunnel. Similar to the process for Phase 1, the participants exchange proposals to determine which security parameters to employ in the SA.
Regardless of the mode used in Phase 1, Phase 2 always operates in quick mode and involves the exchange of three messages. In Phase 2, the peers exchange proxy IDs. A proxy ID consists of a local and remote IP address prefix. The proxy ID for both peers must match, which means that the local IP address specified for one peer must be the same as the remote IP address specified for the other peer.
PFS is a method for deriving Phase 2 keys independent from and unrelated to the preceding keys. A replay attack occurs when an unauthorized person intercepts a series of packets and uses them later either to flood the system, causing a denial of service DoS , or to gain entry to the trusted network. Junos OS provides a replay protection feature that enables devices to check every IPsec packet to see if it has been received previously.
If packets arrive outside a specified sequence range, Junos OS rejects them. Use of this feature does not require negotiation, because packets are always sent with sequence numbers. You simply have the option of checking or not checking the sequence numbers. The message exchange in IKEv2 are:. Negotiates the security attributes to establish the IPsec tunnel.
Each peer establishes or authenticates their identities while the IPsec tunnel is established. Peers perform liveliness detection, removing SA relationships, and reporting error messages. Configuration payload is an IKEv2 option offered to propagate provisioning information from a responder to an initiator. Rekeying establishes new keys for the IKE security association SA and resets message ID counters, but it does not reauthenticate the peers.
Reauthentication verifies that VPN peers retain their access to authentication credentials. IKEv2 reauthentication is disabled by default. You enable reauthentication by configuring a reauthentication frequency value between 1 and The reauthentication frequency is the number of IKE rekeys that occurs before reauthentication occurs. For example, if the configured reauthentication frequency is 1, reauthentication occurs every time there is an IKE rekey.
If the configured reauthentication frequency is 2, reauthentication occurs at every other IKE rekey. The Internet Key Exchange Protocol or IKE offers a means to automatically negotiate security parameters and derive suitable keying material.
Wile it may be possible to manually configure the parameters required to participate in an IPSEC Peer relationship, most system administrators will elect to use IKE if the option is available.
Oakley describes a series of key exchanges, called 'modes', and details the services provided by each. Basic Operation. The basic operation of IKE can be broken down into two phases. When Support Key exchange for subnets is not enabled on communicating Security Gateways, then a security association is negotiated between individual IP addresses; in effect, a unique SA per host.
Denial of Service DoS attacks are intended to reduce performance, block legitimate users from using a service, or even bring down a service. They are not direct security threats in the sense that no confidential data is exposed, and no user gains unauthorized privileges. However, they consume computer resources such as memory or CPU. Generally, there are two kinds of DoS attack.
One kind consists of sending malformed garbage packets in the hope of exploiting a bug and causing the service to fail. In the other kind of DoS attack, an attacker attempts to exploit a vulnerability of the service or protocol by sending well-formed packets.
IKE DoS attack protection deals with the second kind of attack. The Security Gateway replies, and receives another packet, which it then processes using the information gathered from the first packet.
The receiving Security Gateway is obliged to reply to each, and assign memory for each. This can consume all CPU resources, thereby preventing connections from legitimate users. This is known as an identified source. This is known as an unidentified source. When the number of simultaneous IKE negotiations handled exceeds the accepted threshold, it concludes that it is either under load or experiencing a Denial of Service attack.
In such a case, the Security Gateway can filter out peers that are the probable source of a potential Denial of Service attack. If the source is identified, protecting using Puzzles is over cautious, and may affect performance. A third possible setting is None , which means no DoS protection. For unidentified sources, Stateless protection may not be sufficient because an attacker may well control all the IP addresses from which the IKE requests appear to be sent.
Configure the protection by means of the following Global Properties. Values: Default: Determines the percentage of maximum concurrent ongoing negotiations, above which the Security Gateway will request DoS protection. If the threshold is set to 0, the Security Gateway will always request DoS protection.
Determines the level of the puzzles sent to known peer Security Gateways. This attribute also determines the maximum puzzle level a Security Gateway is willing to solve. Determines the maximum time in milliseconds a Security Gateway is willing to spend solving a DoS protection puzzle. Determines the maximum time in milliseconds a SecuRemote is willing to spend solving a DoS protection puzzle.
Values: None, Stateless, Puzzles. Default: Puzzles.
