15 Caveat Emptor The Composition Theorem makes it possible to construct secure networks from smaller components: Theorem (Composition Theorem [1]) Let ρ, φ, π be protocols such that ρ uses φ as subre and π UC-emulates φ. Then protocol ρ φ π UC-emulates ρ. Setup Assumptions No non-trivial protocols can be proven secure the bare model [2]. Setup assumptions alleviate this problem: Common Reference Strgs [1], Public-Key Infrastructures [3], Tamper-Proof Hardware [4] Universally Composable Firewall Architectures usg Trusted Hardware 13/23

17 Our Setup Assumption: A Trusted Packet Comparator An idealised description of trusted hardware hw Keep a local cache realised as an unordered list. Upon receivg packet p on terface i: If there is another put terface j i, and a correspondg entry (j, q) with p q the cache: Remove (j, q) from the cache, put p. Otherwise, store (i, p) the cache. This is a much simpler functionality than that of a firewall! Universally Composable Firewall Architectures usg Trusted Hardware 14/23

19 Security of Two Firewalls The ideal functionality of two firewalls F ideal Upon receivg (put, p): Ask the adversary if p should be delivered. If yes, let fw k be the non-corrupted party; calculate F fwk (p,, s) = (p, i, s ). Write p to the put tape of hw, if p and i. Else, do nothg. Save the new ternal state s. This is not an absolute guarantee! We state what the adversary s capabilities ideally should be. Universally Composable Firewall Architectures usg Trusted Hardware 15/23

26 The ideal functionality of the two-firewall approach The ideal functionality of two firewalls with packet reorderg F ideal2 Upon receivg (put, p): Let w.l.o.g fw 1 be the non-corrupted party; calculate F fw1 (p,, s) = (p, i, s ). If p and i, save p an dexed memory structure m at the next free dex. Save new ternal state s. Give p to the adversary. Upon receivg (deliver, j) from the adversary: If m[j] contas a valid packet, write (, m[j]) to the put tape of hw and clear m[j]; else do nothg. This explicitly models the adversary s ability to schedule packets! Universally Composable Firewall Architectures usg Trusted Hardware 17/23

33 Fix: Packet Accountg Keep a local cache for each comg terface realised as an unordered list. Upon receivg packet p on terface i: Check if the cache of terface i contas an entry q with p q. If so, delete q and halt. Check if there exists an terface j i with an entry q with p q the cache of that terface: Remove q from the cache, put p, add an entry p to the cache of all other terfaces k with k i and k j. Otherwise, store p the cache of terface i. Universally Composable Firewall Architectures usg Trusted Hardware 20/23

34 Conclusion We vestigated the idea of actively compromised firewalls. Goal: Combe several candidate implementations to one secure firewall. Serial concatenation does not work, even with trusted hardware. The quorum does work. Future Work: Model availability UC, Bounded Queues.
