    I have what I thought was a simple question about the properties of AES=
.  But, I have not been able to find an answer.  Possibly that means the qu=
estion itself is flawed (but I haven't been able to figure that out either)=
...

   With AES, does the order of the functions matter, i.e. does EK(DK(P)) =
=3D DK(EK(P))?

AES block encryption with a specific key is a permutation of 2^128 =20
values -- a bijection from the set to itself.  Decryption with the =20
same key is just the inverse of that permutation.  Both E(D(P)) and =20
D(E(P)) perform some permutation and then reverse it, giving you back =20=

the starting value.

The same argument applies to block cipher modes of encryption that =20
operate on multiple blocks, in cases that don't do any message =20
expansion.  They're still reversible permutations, just over larger =20
sets.  But, for example, if your encryption mode is "CBC encryption =20
with padding", and P isn't a multiple of the block size, then D(E(P)) =20=

=3D P' where P' has padding added, and E(D(P)) just doesn't work because =
=20
D requires its input to be a multiple of the block size.

As Ken responded, if the plaintext is a multiple of the block size, because EK
and DK are inverses, the result is the identity function, so the answer to the
above is that the order does not make a difference.

BUT, I expect what you might have been trying to ask is whether EK1(DK2(P)) =
DK2(EK1(P)), i.e. your question above, but using two different keys.  In this
case, the analyses is not as simple, and I would guess that the answer is that
no they are not the same.  But I could be wrong.  You should be able to verify
the "NO" answer with a simple experiment.

UDT itself belongs in the Transport Area, either in TSVWG or in a new WG
or as an individual submission.  UDT security docs probably belong there
as well, but should be reviewed by the security area.

Now, from the looks of your document, it's early enough that you're
really just asking for advice on how to add end-to-end security to UDT.
SAAG is the right place to seek such advice.  This mailing list is good
enough to start, but if you want you can ask for time to make a short
presentation on UDT at the Hiroshima meeting (in which case it's the
Security Area Directors who would be giving you a time slot).

I see three options for authentication and end-to-end security:

a) GSS-API
b) DTLS
c) IPsec

d) SASL/GSS-API for authentication + channel binding to DTLS, DTLS for
   data integrity/confidentiality protection

e) SASL/GSS-API for authentication + channel binding to IPsec, IPsec for
   data integrity/confidentiality protection

(a) is probably the easiest to implement, followed closely by (b), for
the simple reason that these are easy to use and there exist multiple
implementations.  DTLS is newer, and TLS has lots of options, so it's
probably a bit harder to use than the GSS-API.

(The GSS-API is a rather large API, but for applications like this one,
one need only use a small subset of that API.  Don't let the size of the
API intimidate you.)

(c) is very hard to use.  Right now you can't really drive the use of
IPsec from applications, which means that you'd have to rely on the
sender and receiver to be configured properly.  That won't work for
Internet-scale deployments.  BTNS WG work on IPsec APIs would help, but
it will be a long time before those are widely available.  In other
words, (c) is not a very realistic option.

(OTOH, if you have a no-security option for UDT, then (c) can be done by
the sysadmin if they want, without even having to tell the UDT app.)

(d) is only useful if you're interested in the sum of user/host
authentication options available with SASL, GSS-API and DTLS.  It's
worth considering, though mostly because of the very unfortunate reality
that authentication mechanisms are not equally available in all these
authentication frameworks :(

(e) is like (d), but using IPsec; see (c) for why (e) not a realistic
option.

Of these I'd say the best choice is to do (a), (b) and leave room for
adding (d) later.

The protocol would look roughly like:

 - First authenticate (exchange opaque GSS context / DTLS handshake
   messages until authenticated) (for (d) you'd do both... we can
   discuss that later).

 - Then use per-message token functions (GSS-API) or DTLS record layer
   (DTLS) to protect UDT messages.

   Interleaving could be an issue.  You might need a separate security
   context per-channel.

This is another option, minimizing overhead,

This is something I will take into consideration. The draft is intended to 
cover a wide area of security options in considering security UDT.

Additional references to RFC 5554    and 5238 will be incorporated to this 
ID.
The protocol suggested above requires amplification.
