Description
PFS generates each new encryption key independently from the previous key. Without PFS, compromise of one key will compromise all communications. The phase 2 (Quick Mode) Security Association (SA) is used to create an IPsec session key. Hence, its rekey or key regeneration procedure is very important. The phase 2 rekey can be performed with or without Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS). With PFS, every time a new IPsec Security Association is negotiated during the Quick Mode, a new Diffie-Hellman (DH) exchange occurs. The new DH shared secret will be included with original keying material (SYKEID_d, initiator nonce, and responder nonce from phase 1) for generating a new IPsec session key. If PFS is not used, the IPsec session key will always be completely dependent on the original keying material from the Phase-1. Hence, if an older key is compromised at any time, it is possible that all new keys may be compromised. The DH exchange is performed in the same manner as was done in phase 1 (Main or Aggressive Mode). However, the phase 2 exchange is protected by encrypting the phase 2 packets with the key derived from the phase 1 negotiation. Because DH negotiations during phase 2 are encrypted, the new IPsec session key has an added element of secrecy.

Who does this work

10 NICE work roles and 9 EC-Council certifications.

This is an inference across published mappings, not a single claim by anyone. This check maps to a control, which maps to a Cybersecurity Framework outcome, which NIST assigns to the work roles below. EC-Council separately maps its certifications to those same roles.

A certification prepares someone for a role. It is not evidence that a holder is qualified, and neither NIST nor EC-Council has stated that any certification here addresses this check.

Work-role assignments published by NIST (NICE Framework Components 2.2.0 and the CSF 2.0 OLIR crosswalk). Certification mappings published by EC-Council.

Details

Check Text (C-214680r385561_chk)

Examine all IPsec profiles to verify PFS is enabled. [edit] show security ipsec policy If PFS is not configured, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-15879r297628_fix)

Configure the VPN gateway to ensure PFS is enabled. The following commands configure an IPsec policy, enabling PFS using Diffie-Hellman group 14 and associates the IPsec proposal configured in the previous example. [edit] set security ipsec policy <IPSEC-POLICY> perfect-forward-secrecy keys group14 set security ipsec policy <IPSEC-POLICY> proposals <IPSEC-PROPOSAL>
