Completely Encrypting RTP Header Extensions and Contributing Sources
Abstract
While the Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP) provides
confidentiality for the contents of a media packet, a significant
amount of metadata is left unprotected, including RTP header
extensions and contributing sources (CSRCs). However, this data can
be moderately sensitive in many applications. While there have been
previous attempts to protect this data, they have had limited
deployment, due to complexity as well as technical limitations.
This document updates RFC 3711, the SRTP specification, and defines
Cryptex as a new mechanism that completely encrypts header extensions
and CSRCs and uses simpler Session Description Protocol (SDP)
signaling with the goal of facilitating deployment.

1. Introduction
1.1. Problem Statement
The Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP) [RFC3711] mechanism
provides message authentication for the entire RTP packet but only
encrypts the RTP payload. This has not historically been a problem,
as much of the information carried in the header has minimal
sensitivity (e.g., RTP timestamp); in addition, certain fields need
to remain as cleartext because they are used for key scheduling
(e.g., RTP synchronization source (SSRC) and sequence number).
However, as noted in [RFC6904], the security requirements can be
different for information carried in RTP header extensions, including
the per-packet sound levels defined in [RFC6464] and [RFC6465], which
are specifically noted as being sensitive in the Security
Considerations sections of those RFCs.
In addition to the contents of the header extensions, there are now
enough header extensions in active use that the header extension
identifiers themselves can provide meaningful information in terms of
determining the identity of the endpoint and/or application.
Accordingly, these identifiers can be considered a fingerprinting
issue.
Finally, the CSRCs included in RTP packets can also be sensitive,
potentially allowing a network eavesdropper to determine who was
speaking and when during an otherwise secure conference call.
1.2. Previous Solutions
Encryption of Header Extensions in SRTP [RFC6904] was proposed in
2013 as a solution to the problem of unprotected header extension
values. However, it has not seen significant adoption and has a few
technical shortcomings.
First, the mechanism is complicated. Since it allows encryption to
be negotiated on a per-extension basis, a fair amount of signaling
logic is required. And in the SRTP layer, a somewhat complex
transform is required to allow only the selected header extension
values to be encrypted. One of the most popular SRTP implementations
had a significant bug in this area that was not detected for five
years.
Second, the mechanism only protects the header extension values and
not their identifiers or lengths. It also does not protect the
CSRCs. As noted above, this leaves a fair amount of potentially
sensitive information exposed.
Third, the mechanism bloats the header extension space. Because each
extension must be offered in both unencrypted and encrypted forms,
twice as many header extensions must be offered, which will in many
cases push implementations past the 14-extension limit for the use of
one-byte extension headers defined in [RFC8285]. Accordingly, in
many cases, implementations will need to use two-byte headers, which
are not supported well by some existing implementations.
Finally, the header extension bloat combined with the need for
backward compatibility results in additional wire overhead. Because
two-byte extension headers may not be handled well by existing
implementations, one-byte extension identifiers will need to be used
for the unencrypted (backward-compatible) forms, and two-byte for the
encrypted forms. Thus, deployment of encryption for header
extensions [RFC6904] will typically result in multiple extra bytes in
each RTP packet, compared to the present situation.
1.3. Goals
From the previous analysis, the desired properties of a solution are:
* Built on the existing SRTP framework [RFC3711] (simple to
understand)
* Built on the existing header extension framework [RFC8285] (simple
to implement)
* Protection of header extension identifiers, lengths, and values
* Protection of CSRCs when present
* Simple signaling
* Simple crypto transform and SRTP interactions
* Backward compatibility with unencrypted endpoints, if desired
* Backward compatibility with existing RTP tooling
The last point deserves further discussion. While other possible
solutions that would have encrypted more of the RTP header (e.g., the
number of CSRCs) were considered, the inability to parse the
resultant packets with current tools and a generally higher level of
complexity outweighed the slight improvement in confidentiality in
these solutions. Hence, a more pragmatic approach was taken to solve
the problem described in Section 1.1.
2. Terminology
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.
3. Design
This specification proposes a mechanism to negotiate encryption of
all RTP header extensions (ids, lengths, and values) as well as CSRC
values. It reuses the existing SRTP framework, is accordingly simple
to implement, and is backward compatible with existing RTP packet
parsing code, even when support for the mechanism has been
negotiated.
Except when explicitly stated otherwise, Cryptex reuses all the
framework procedures, transforms, and considerations described in
[RFC3711].
4. SDP Considerations
Cryptex support is indicated via a new "a=cryptex" SDP attribute
defined in this specification.
The new "a=cryptex" attribute is a property attribute as defined in
Section 5.13 of [RFC8866]; it therefore takes no value and can be
used at the session level or media level.
The presence of the "a=cryptex" attribute in the SDP (in either an
offer or an answer) indicates that the endpoint is capable of
receiving RTP packets encrypted with Cryptex, as defined below.
Once each peer has verified that the other party supports receiving
RTP packets encrypted with Cryptex, senders can unilaterally decide
whether or not to use the Cryptex mechanism on a per-packet basis.
If BUNDLE is in use as per [RFC9143] and the "a=cryptex" attribute is
present for a media line, it MUST be present for all RTP-based "m="
sections belonging to the same bundle group. This ensures that the
encrypted Media Identifier (MID) header extensions can be processed,
allowing RTP streams to be associated with the correct "m=" section
in each BUNDLE group as specified in Section 9.2 of [RFC9143]. When
used with BUNDLE, this attribute is assigned to the TRANSPORT
category [RFC8859].
Both endpoints can change the Cryptex support status by modifying the
session as specified in Section 8 of [RFC3264]. Generating
subsequent SDP offers and answers MUST use the same procedures for
including the "a=cryptex" attribute as the ones on the initial offer
and answer.
5. RTP Header Processing
A General Mechanism for RTP Header Extensions [RFC8285] defines two
values for the "defined by profile" field for carrying one-byte and
two-byte header extensions. In order to allow a receiver to
determine if an incoming RTP packet is using the encryption scheme in
this specification, two new values are defined:
* 0xC0DE for the encrypted version of the one-byte header extensions
(instead of 0xBEDE).
* 0xC2DE for the encrypted versions of the two-byte header
extensions (instead of 0x100).
In the case of using two-byte header extensions, the extension
identifier with value 256 MUST NOT be negotiated, as the value of
this identifier is meant to be contained in the "appbits" of the
"defined by profile" field, which are not available when using the
values above.
Note that as per [RFC8285], it is not possible to mix one-byte and
two-byte headers on the same RTP packet. Mixing one-byte and two-
byte headers on the same RTP stream requires negotiation of the
"extmap-allow-mixed" SDP attribute as defined in Section 6 of
[RFC8285].
Peers MAY negotiate both Cryptex and the Encryption of Header
Extensions mechanism defined in [RFC6904] via SDP offer/answer as
described in Section 4, and if both mechanisms are supported, either
one can be used for any given packet. However, if a packet is
encrypted with Cryptex, it MUST NOT also use header extension
encryption [RFC6904], and vice versa.
If one of the peers has advertised the ability to receive both
Cryptex and header extensions encrypted as per [RFC6904] in the SDP
exchange, it is RECOMMENDED that the other peer use Cryptex rather
than the mechanism in [RFC6904] when sending RTP packets so that all
the header extensions and CSRCS are encrypted. However, if there is
a compelling reason to use the mechanism in [RFC6904] (e.g., a need
for some header extensions to be sent in the clear so that so they
are processable by RTP middleboxes), the other peer SHOULD use the
mechanism in [RFC6904] instead.
5.1. Sending
When the mechanism defined by this specification has been negotiated,
sending an RTP packet that has any CSRCs or contains any header
extensions [RFC8285] follows the steps below. This mechanism MUST
NOT be used with header extensions other than the variety described
in [RFC8285].
If the RTP packet contains one-byte headers, the 16-bit RTP header
extension tag MUST be set to 0xC0DE to indicate that the encryption
has been applied and the one-byte framing is being used. If the RTP
packet contains two-byte headers, the header extension tag MUST be
set to 0xC2DE to indicate encryption has been applied and the two-
byte framing is being used.
If the packet contains CSRCs but no header extensions, an empty
extension block consisting of the 0xC0DE tag and a 16-bit length
field set to zero (explicitly permitted by [RFC3550]) MUST be
appended, and the X bit MUST be set to 1 to indicate an extension
block is present. This is necessary to provide the receiver an
indication that the CSRCs in the packet are encrypted.
The RTP packet MUST then be encrypted as described in Section 6.2
("Encryption Procedure").
5.2. Receiving
When receiving an RTP packet that contains header extensions, the
"defined by profile" field MUST be checked to ensure the payload is
formatted according to this specification. If the field does not
match one of the values defined above, the implementation MUST
instead handle it according to the specification that defines that
value.
Alternatively, if the implementation considers the use of this
specification mandatory and the "defined by profile" field does not
match one of the values defined above, it MUST stop the processing of
the RTP packet and report an error for the RTP stream.
If the RTP packet passes this check, it is then decrypted as
described in Section 6.3 ("Decryption Procedure") and passed to the
next layer to process the packet and its extensions. In the event
that a zero-length extension block was added as indicated above, it
can be left as is and will be processed normally.

Figure 1: A Protected SRTP Packet
Note that, as required by [RFC8285], the 4 bytes at the start of the
extension block are not encrypted.
Specifically, the Encrypted Portion MUST include any CSRC
identifiers, any RTP header extension (except for the first 4 bytes),
and the RTP payload.
6.2. Encryption Procedure
The encryption procedure is identical to that of [RFC3711] except for
the Encrypted Portion of the SRTP packet. The plaintext input to the
cipher is as follows:
Plaintext = CSRC identifiers (if used) || header extension data ||
RTP payload || RTP padding (if used) || RTP pad count (if used)
Here "header extension data" refers to the content of the RTP
extension field, excluding the first four bytes (the extension header
[RFC8285]). The first 4 * CSRC count (CC) bytes of the ciphertext
are placed in the CSRC field of the RTP header. The remainder of the
ciphertext is the RTP payload of the encrypted packet.
To minimize changes to surrounding code, the encryption mechanism can
choose to replace a "defined by profile" field from [RFC8285] with
its counterpart defined in Section 5 ("RTP Header Processing") and
encrypt at the same time.
For Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data (AEAD) ciphers
(e.g., AES-GCM), the 12-byte fixed header and the four-byte header
extension header (the "defined by profile" field and the length) are
considered additional authenticated data (AAD), even though they are
non-contiguous in the packet if CSRCs are present.
Associated Data: fixed header || extension header (if X=1)
Here "fixed header" refers to the 12-byte fixed portion of the RTP
header, and "extension header" refers to the four-byte extension
header [RFC8285] ("defined by profile" and extension length).
Implementations can rearrange a packet so that the AAD and plaintext
are contiguous by swapping the order of the extension header and the
CSRC identifiers, resulting in an intermediate representation of the
form shown in Figure 2. After encryption, the CSRCs (now encrypted)
and extension header would need to be swapped back to their original
positions. A similar operation can be done when decrypting to create
contiguous ciphertext and AAD inputs.

reference for implementations and is not meant to be sent on the
wire.
6.3. Decryption Procedure
The decryption procedure is identical to that of [RFC3711] except for
the Encrypted Portion of the SRTP packet, which is as shown in the
section above.
To minimize changes to surrounding code, the decryption mechanism can
choose to replace the "defined by profile" field with its no-
encryption counterpart from [RFC8285] and decrypt at the same time.
7. Backward Compatibility
This specification attempts to encrypt as much as possible without
interfering with backward compatibility for systems that expect a
certain structure from an RTPv2 packet, including systems that
perform demultiplexing based on packet headers. Accordingly, the
first two bytes of the RTP packet are not encrypted.
This specification also attempts to reuse the key scheduling from
SRTP, which depends on the RTP packet sequence number and SSRC
identifier. Accordingly, these values are also not encrypted.
8. Security Considerations
All security considerations in Section 9 of [RFC3711] are applicable
to this specification; the exception is Section 9.4, because
confidentiality of the RTP Header is the purpose of this
specification.
The risks of using weak or NULL authentication with SRTP, described
in Section 9.5 of [RFC3711], apply to encrypted header extensions as
well.
This specification extends SRTP by expanding the Encrypted Portion of
the RTP packet, as shown in Section 6.1 ("Packet Structure"). It
does not change how SRTP authentication works in any way. Given that
more of the packet is being encrypted than before, this is
necessarily an improvement.
The RTP fields that are left unencrypted (see rationale above) are as
follows:
* RTP version
* padding bit
* extension bit
* number of CSRCs
* marker bit
* payload type
* sequence number
* timestamp
* SSRC identifier
* number of header extensions [RFC8285]
These values contain a fixed set (i.e., one that won't be changed by
extensions) of information that, at present, is observed to have low
sensitivity. In the event any of these values need to be encrypted,
SRTP is likely the wrong protocol to use and a fully encapsulating
protocol such as DTLS is preferred (with its attendant per-packet
overhead).
9. IANA Considerations
This document updates the "attribute-name (formerly "att-field")"
subregistry of the "Session Description Protocol (SDP) Parameters"
registry (see Section 8.2.4 of [RFC8866]). Specifically, it adds the
SDP "a=cryptex" attribute for use at both the media level and the
session level.
Contact name: IETF AVT Working Group or IESG if the AVT Working
Group is closed
Contact email address: avt@ietf.org
Attribute name: cryptex
Attribute syntax: This attribute takes no values.
Attribute semantics: N/A
Attribute value: N/A
Usage level: session, media
Charset dependent: No
Purpose: The presence of this attribute in the SDP indicates that
the endpoint is capable of receiving RTP packets encrypted with
Cryptex as described in this document.
O/A procedures: SDP O/A procedures are described in Section 4 of
this document.
