1. Introduction

This document specifies cipher suites for the Transport Layer Security (TLS) [RFC5246] protocol to support the ARIA [RFC5794] encryption algorithm as a block cipher algorithm. The cipher suites include variants using the SHA-2 family of cryptographic hash functions and ARIA Galois counter mode. Elliptic curve cipher suites and pre-shared key (PSK) cipher suites are also defined.

The cipher suites with SHA-1 are not included in this document. Due to recent analytic work on SHA-1 [Wang05], the IETF is gradually moving away from SHA-1 and towards stronger hash algorithms.

1.1. ARIA

ARIA is a general-purpose block cipher algorithm developed by Korean cryptographers in 2003. It is an iterated block cipher with 128-, 192-, and 256-bit keys and encrypts 128-bit blocks in 12, 14, and 16 rounds, depending on the key size. It is secure and suitable for most software and hardware implementations on 32-bit and 8-bit processors. It was established as a Korean standard block cipher algorithm in 2004 [ARIAKS] and has been widely used in Korea, especially for government-to-public services. It was included in PKCS #11 in 2007 [ARIAPKCS]. The algorithm specification and object identifiers are described in [RFC5794].

1.2. Terminology

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].

2. Proposed Cipher Suites

2.1. HMAC-Based Cipher Suites

The first twenty cipher suites use ARIA [RFC5794] in Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) mode with a SHA-2 family Hashed Message Authentication Code (HMAC). Eight out of twenty use elliptic curves.

   CipherSuite TLS_RSA_WITH_ARIA_128_CBC_SHA256         = { 0xC0,0x3C };
   CipherSuite TLS_RSA_WITH_ARIA_256_CBC_SHA384         = { 0xC0,0x3D };
   CipherSuite TLS_DH_DSS_WITH_ARIA_128_CBC_SHA256      = { 0xC0,0x3E };
   CipherSuite TLS_DH_DSS_WITH_ARIA_256_CBC_SHA384      = { 0xC0,0x3F };
   CipherSuite TLS_DH_RSA_WITH_ARIA_128_CBC_SHA256      = { 0xC0,0x40 };
   CipherSuite TLS_DH_RSA_WITH_ARIA_256_CBC_SHA384      = { 0xC0,0x41 };
   CipherSuite TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_ARIA_128_CBC_SHA256     = { 0xC0,0x42 };
   CipherSuite TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_ARIA_256_CBC_SHA384     = { 0xC0,0x43 };

   CipherSuite TLS_DH_anon_WITH_ARIA_128_CBC_SHA256     = { 0xC0,0x46 };
   CipherSuite TLS_DH_anon_WITH_ARIA_256_CBC_SHA384     = { 0xC0,0x47 };
   
   CipherSuite TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_ARIA_128_CBC_SHA256 = { 0xC0,0x48 };
   CipherSuite TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_ARIA_256_CBC_SHA384 = { 0xC0,0x49 };
   CipherSuite TLS_ECDH_ECDSA_WITH_ARIA_128_CBC_SHA256  = { 0xC0,0x4A };
   CipherSuite TLS_ECDH_ECDSA_WITH_ARIA_256_CBC_SHA384  = { 0xC0,0x4B };
   CipherSuite TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_ARIA_128_CBC_SHA256   = { 0xC0,0x4C };

   CipherSuite TLS_ECDH_RSA_WITH_ARIA_128_CBC_SHA256    = { 0xC0,0x4E };
   CipherSuite TLS_ECDH_RSA_WITH_ARIA_256_CBC_SHA384    = { 0xC0,0x4F };

2.2. GCM-Based Cipher Suites

The next twenty cipher suites use the same asymmetric algorithms as those in the previous section but use the authenticated encryption modes defined in TLS 1.2 with the ARIA in Galois Counter Mode (GCM) [GCM].

   CipherSuite TLS_RSA_WITH_ARIA_128_GCM_SHA256         = { 0xC0,0x50 };
   CipherSuite TLS_RSA_WITH_ARIA_256_GCM_SHA384         = { 0xC0,0x51 };
   CipherSuite TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_ARIA_128_GCM_SHA256     = { 0xC0,0x52 };
   CipherSuite TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_ARIA_256_GCM_SHA384     = { 0xC0,0x53 };
   CipherSuite TLS_DH_RSA_WITH_ARIA_128_GCM_SHA256      = { 0xC0,0x54 };
   CipherSuite TLS_DH_RSA_WITH_ARIA_256_GCM_SHA384      = { 0xC0,0x55 };
   CipherSuite TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_ARIA_128_GCM_SHA256     = { 0xC0,0x56 };
   CipherSuite TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_ARIA_256_GCM_SHA384     = { 0xC0,0x57 };
   CipherSuite TLS_DH_DSS_WITH_ARIA_128_GCM_SHA256      = { 0xC0,0x58 };
   CipherSuite TLS_DH_DSS_WITH_ARIA_256_GCM_SHA384      = { 0xC0,0x59 };
   CipherSuite TLS_DH_anon_WITH_ARIA_128_GCM_SHA256     = { 0xC0,0x5A };
   CipherSuite TLS_DH_anon_WITH_ARIA_256_GCM_SHA384     = { 0xC0,0x5B };
   
   CipherSuite TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_ARIA_128_GCM_SHA256 = { 0xC0,0x5C };
   CipherSuite TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_ARIA_256_GCM_SHA384 = { 0xC0,0x5D };
   CipherSuite TLS_ECDH_ECDSA_WITH_ARIA_128_GCM_SHA256  = { 0xC0,0x5E };
   CipherSuite TLS_ECDH_ECDSA_WITH_ARIA_256_GCM_SHA384  = { 0xC0,0x5F };
   CipherSuite TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_ARIA_128_GCM_SHA256   = { 0xC0,0x60 };
   CipherSuite TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_ARIA_256_GCM_SHA384   = { 0xC0,0x61 };
   CipherSuite TLS_ECDH_RSA_WITH_ARIA_128_GCM_SHA256    = { 0xC0,0x62 };
   CipherSuite TLS_ECDH_RSA_WITH_ARIA_256_GCM_SHA384    = { 0xC0,0x63 };

2.3. PSK Cipher Suites

The next fourteen cipher suites describe PSK cipher suites. Eight cipher suites use an HMAC and six cipher suites use the ARIA Galois Counter Mode.

   CipherSuite TLS_PSK_WITH_ARIA_128_CBC_SHA256         = { 0xC0,0x64 };
   CipherSuite TLS_PSK_WITH_ARIA_256_CBC_SHA384         = { 0xC0,0x65 };
   CipherSuite TLS_DHE_PSK_WITH_ARIA_128_CBC_SHA256     = { 0xC0,0x66 };
   CipherSuite TLS_DHE_PSK_WITH_ARIA_256_CBC_SHA384     = { 0xC0,0x67 };
   CipherSuite TLS_RSA_PSK_WITH_ARIA_128_CBC_SHA256     = { 0xC0,0x68 };
   CipherSuite TLS_RSA_PSK_WITH_ARIA_256_CBC_SHA384     = { 0xC0,0x69 };
   CipherSuite TLS_PSK_WITH_ARIA_128_GCM_SHA256         = { 0xC0,0x6A };
   CipherSuite TLS_PSK_WITH_ARIA_256_GCM_SHA384         = { 0xC0,0x6B };
   CipherSuite TLS_DHE_PSK_WITH_ARIA_128_GCM_SHA256     = { 0xC0,0x6C };
   CipherSuite TLS_DHE_PSK_WITH_ARIA_256_GCM_SHA384     = { 0xC0,0x6D };
   CipherSuite TLS_RSA_PSK_WITH_ARIA_128_GCM_SHA256     = { 0xC0,0x6E };
   CipherSuite TLS_RSA_PSK_WITH_ARIA_256_GCM_SHA384     = { 0xC0,0x6F };
   CipherSuite TLS_ECDHE_PSK_WITH_ARIA_128_CBC_SHA256   = { 0xC0,0x70 };
   CipherSuite TLS_ECDHE_PSK_WITH_ARIA_256_CBC_SHA384   = { 0xC0,0x71 };

3. Cipher Suite Definitions

3.1. Key Exchange

The RSA, DHE_RSA, DH_RSA, DHE_DSS, DH_DSS, DH_anon, ECDH, and ECDHE key exchanges are performed as defined in [RFC5246].

3.2. Cipher

The ARIA_128_CBC cipher suites use ARIA [RFC5794] in CBC mode with a 128-bit key and 128-bit Initialization Vector (IV); the ARIA_256_CBC cipher suites use a 256-bit key and 128-bit IV.

AES-authenticated encryption with additional data algorithms, AEAD_AES_128_GCM, and AEAD_AES_256_GCM are described in [RFC5116]. AES GCM cipher suites for TLS are described in [RFC5288]. AES and ARIA share common characteristics, including key sizes and block length. ARIA_128_GCM and ARIA_256_GCM are defined according to those characteristics of AES.

3.3. PRFs

The pseudorandom functions (PRFs) SHALL be as follows:

a. For cipher suites ending with _SHA256, the PRF is the TLS PRF: [RFC5246] using SHA-256 as the hash function.

b. For cipher suites ending with _SHA384, the PRF is the TLS PRF: [RFC5246] using SHA-384 as the hash function.

3.4. PSK Cipher Suites

   Pre-shared key cipher suites for TLS are described in [RFC4279],
   [RFC4785], [RFC5487], and [RFC5489].

4. Security Considerations

At the time of writing this document, no security problems have been found on ARIA (see [YWL]).

   The security considerations in the following RFCs apply to this
   document as well: [RFC4279] [RFC4785] [RFC5116] [RFC5288] [RFC5289]
   [RFC5487] and [GCM].
