IKEv2, ESP PFS. Which packets includes the configuration?

i am investigating currently the IKEv2 protocol with ESP payload encryption. For ESP i want to use PFS with DH Group 5 (which works).
However, i am not able to figure out in which packet this settings is sent to the partner.



In the first two packets (IKE_SA_INIT) i am able to find the DH group for the IKE SA. I assume that the setting is sent in the 3rd/4th message (IKE AUTH) _since all the CHILD_SA relevant stuff is in it (ENC/AUTH algorithm). But i can't find it (i decrypted the packet using wireshark isakmp decryption).



Where is this setting hidden?
Thanks

  • If you're using PFS, then how did Wireshark decrypt it?

  • doesn't answer my question. however, as far as i know for the first 4 packets (2x IKE_SA_INIT, 2x IKE_AUTH) PFS is not relevant since PFS is only used for the next CHILD_SA rekeying. To decrypt IKE_AUTH packets i used the computed SK_Ei, SK_Er

The first Child SA is negotiated within the IKE_AUTH Payload. It's called SA[i|r]2 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7296#section-1.2 . It's an extra SA Payload within the IKE_AUTH Payload.
The RFC states:




Note that IKE_AUTH messages do not contain KEi/KEr or Ni/Nr payloads.
Thus, the SA payloads in the IKE_AUTH exchange cannot contain
Transform Type 4 (Diffie-Hellman group) with any value other than
NONE. Implementations SHOULD omit the whole transform substructure
instead of sending value NONE.




To precisely answer your question: There is no PFS for the first CHILD_SA that is part of the IKE_AUTH exchanges. Any setting regarding PFS for CHILD_SAs only apply to CHILD_SA exchanges to create new CHILD_SAs after the initial exchanges.
