[TLS] Poly1305 vs GCM

2015-12-17 Thread James Cloos
Given the issues w/ gcm currently under discussion, and that poly1305 was originally proposed to use w/ aes, should tls recommend aes-poly1305 instead of aes-gcm for those who want to continue to use aes? Or does chacha-poly1305 not fall victim to the 2^36 attack not because of the aead but rather

Re: [TLS] [tls13-spec] resetting the sequence number to zero for each record key. (#379)

2015-12-17 Thread Cedric Fournet
As explained below, we propose that the record-layer sequence numbers be reset to 0 whenever new keys are installed (as in TLS 1.2): https://github.com/tlswg/tls13-spec/pull/379 Cédric Fournet, on behalf of the miTLS team. While working on a formal model of the TLS 1.3 record layer, I bumped in

I have mentioned this in private conversations but let me say this here: I would prefer that the nonces be explicitly concatenated to the handshake hash. That is, handshake_hash = Hash( client random|| server random

So the actual impact here is that an attacker who has compromised a key can introduce a gap. Aren't there other options available to such an attacker? Scarier options? On 18 December 2015 at 07:01, Cedric Fournet wrote: > > We propose to revert this change (that is, to reset the sequence > numb
