<h1>KDC cookie format<a class="headerlink" href="#kdc-cookie-format" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p><span class="target" id="index-0"></span><a class="rfc reference external" href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6113.html"><strong>RFC 6113</strong></a> section 5.2 specifies a pa-data type PA-FX-COOKIE, which
clients are required to reflect back to the KDC during
pre-authentication. The MIT krb5 KDC uses the following formats for
cookies.</p>
<div class="section" id="trivial-cookie-version-0">
<h2>Trivial cookie (version 0)<a class="headerlink" href="#trivial-cookie-version-0" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>If there is no pre-authentication mechanism state information to save,
a trivial cookie containing the value “MIT” is used. A trivial cookie
is needed to indicate that the conversation can continue.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="secure-cookie-version-1">
<h2>Secure cookie (version 1)<a class="headerlink" href="#secure-cookie-version-1" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>In release 1.14 and later, a secure cookie can be sent if there is any
mechanism state to save for the next request. A secure cookie
contains the concatenation of the following:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>the four bytes “MIT1”</li>
<li>a four-byte big-endian kvno value</li>
<li>an <span class="target" id="index-1"></span><a class="rfc reference external" href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3961.html"><strong>RFC 3961</strong></a> ciphertext</li>
</ul>
<p>The ciphertext is encrypted in the cookie key with key usage
number 513. The cookie key is derived from a key in the local krbtgt
principal entry for the realm (e.g. <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">krbtgt/KRBTEST.COM@KRBTEST.COM</span></tt>
if the request is to the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">KRBTEST.COM</span></tt> realm). The first krbtgt key
for the indicated kvno value is combined with the client principal as
follows:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="n">cookie</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">key</span> <span class="o"><-</span> <span class="n">random</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">to</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">key</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">PRF</span><span class="o">+</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">tgt</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">key</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s">"COOKIE"</span> <span class="o">|</span> <span class="n">client</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">princ</span><span class="p">))</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>where <strong>random-to-key</strong> is the <span class="target" id="index-2"></span><a class="rfc reference external" href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3961.html"><strong>RFC 3961</strong></a> random-to-key operation for
the krbtgt key’s encryption type, <strong>PRF+</strong> is defined in <span class="target" id="index-3"></span><a class="rfc reference external" href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6113.html"><strong>RFC 6113</strong></a>,
and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">|</span></tt> denotes concatenation. <em>client-princ</em> is the request client
principal name with realm, marshalled according to <span class="target" id="index-4"></span><a class="rfc reference external" href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1964.html"><strong>RFC 1964</strong></a> section
2.1.1.</p>
<p>The plain text of the encrypted part of a cookie is the DER encoding
of the following ASN.1 type:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre>SecureCookie ::= SEQUENCE {
time INTEGER,
data SEQUENCE OF PA-DATA,
...
}
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The time field represents the cookie creation time; for brevity, it is
encoded as an integer giving the POSIX timestamp rather than as an
ASN.1 GeneralizedTime value. The data field contains one element for
each pre-authentication type which requires saved state. For
mechanisms which have separate request and reply types, the request
type is used; this allows the KDC to determine whether a cookie is
relevant to a request by comparing the request pa-data types to the
cookie data types.</p>
