|
|
This document describes the format of an NTP symmetric key file.
|
|
For a description of the use of this type of file, see the
|
|
.Qq Authentication Support
|
|
section of the
|
|
.Xr ntp.conf 5
|
|
page.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Xr ntpd 8
|
|
reads its keys from a file specified using the
|
|
.Fl k
|
|
command line option or the
|
|
.Ic keys
|
|
statement in the configuration file.
|
|
While key number 0 is fixed by the NTP standard
|
|
(as 56 zero bits)
|
|
and may not be changed,
|
|
one or more keys numbered between 1 and 65535
|
|
may be arbitrarily set in the keys file.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The key file uses the same comment conventions
|
|
as the configuration file.
|
|
Key entries use a fixed format of the form
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.D1 Ar keyno type key opt_IP_list
|
|
.Pp
|
|
where
|
|
.Ar keyno
|
|
is a positive integer (between 1 and 65535),
|
|
.Ar type
|
|
is the message digest algorithm,
|
|
.Ar key
|
|
is the key itself, and
|
|
.Ar opt_IP_list
|
|
is an optional comma-separated list of IPs
|
|
where the
|
|
.Ar keyno
|
|
should be trusted.
|
|
that are allowed to serve time.
|
|
Each IP in
|
|
.Ar opt_IP_list
|
|
may contain an optional
|
|
.Cm /subnetbits
|
|
specification which identifies the number of bits for
|
|
the desired subnet of trust.
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar opt_IP_list
|
|
is empty,
|
|
any properly-authenticated message will be
|
|
accepted.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar key
|
|
may be given in a format
|
|
controlled by the
|
|
.Ar type
|
|
field.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar type
|
|
.Li MD5
|
|
is always supported.
|
|
If
|
|
.Li ntpd
|
|
was built with the OpenSSL library
|
|
then any digest library supported by that library may be specified.
|
|
However, if compliance with FIPS 140-2 is required the
|
|
.Ar type
|
|
must be either
|
|
.Li SHA
|
|
or
|
|
.Li SHA1 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
What follows are some key types, and corresponding formats:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width RMD160 -compact
|
|
.It Li MD5
|
|
The key is 1 to 16 printable characters terminated by
|
|
an EOL,
|
|
whitespace,
|
|
or
|
|
a
|
|
.Li #
|
|
(which is the "start of comment" character).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.It Li SHA
|
|
.It Li SHA1
|
|
.It Li RMD160
|
|
The key is a hex-encoded ASCII string of 40 characters,
|
|
which is truncated as necessary.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that the keys used by the
|
|
.Xr ntpq 8
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr ntpdc 8
|
|
programs are checked against passwords
|
|
requested by the programs and entered by hand,
|
|
so it is generally appropriate to specify these keys in ASCII format.
