Introduction + + SATP is a mixture of a generic encapsulation protocol like GRE [4] + and a secure tunneling protocol as IPsec [5] in tunnel mode. It can + be used to build redundant virtual private network (VPN) connections. + It supports peer to peer tunnels, where tunnel endpoints can be any + combination of unicast, multicast or anycast hosts, so it defines a + Host Anycast Service [6]. Encryption is done per packet, so the + protocol is robust against packet loss and routing changes. To save + some header overhead it uses the encryption techniques of SRTP [1]. + +1.1. Notational Conventions + + The keywords "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]. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +Gsenger Expires December 24, 2007 [Page 3] + +Internet-Draft secure anycast tunneling protocol (SATP) June 2007 + + +2. Motivation and usage scenarios + + This section gives an overview of possible usage scenarios. Please + note, that the protocols used in the figures are only examples and + that SATP itself does not care about either transport protocols or + encapsulated protocols. Routing is not done by SATP and each + implemetation MAY choose it's own way of doing this task (e.g. using + functions provided by the operating system). SATP is used only to + encapsulate and encrypt data. + +2.1. Usage scenarions + +2.1.1.

This router makes a routing + descision based on the underlying protocol and transmits a new SATP + package to one or more unicast hosts depending on the routing + descition. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +Gsenger Expires December 24, 2007 [Page 4] + +Internet-Draft secure anycast tunneling protocol (SATP) June 2007 + + +2.1.2.

It can also be used the other way to virtually + locate a unicast service within anycasted networks. + +2.1.3.

This is done to build a redundant encrypted + tunnel connection between the two networks. All tunnel endpoints of + network A share the same anycast address and all tunnel endpoints of + network B share another anycast address. When a packet from network + A gets transmitted to network B, it first arrives on one of network + A's border routers. Which router is used is determined by network + A's internal routing. This router encapsulates the package and sends + it to the anycast address of the network B routers. The SATP packet + arrives at one of network B's routers and gets decapsulated and + routed to it's destination within network B. + +2.2.

Every anycast receiver + has it's own replay list, which SHOULDN'T be syncronised, because of + massive overhead. This leads to an additional possible attack. A + attacker is able to replay a captured packet once to every anycast + receiver. This attack is considered of be very unlikely, because + multiple attack hosts in different loactions are needed to reach the + seperate anycast receivers and the number of replays is limited to + the count of receivers - 1. Such replays might also happen because + of routing problems, so a payload protocol HAS TO be robust against a + small number of duplicated packages. The window size and position + HAS TO be syncronised between multible anycast receivers to limit + this attack. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +Gsenger Expires December 24, 2007 [Page 12] + +Internet-Draft secure anycast tunneling protocol (SATP) June 2007 + + +6.
