SMB 2 and SMB 3 security in Windows 10: the anatomy of signing and cryptographic keys

Signing is an integral security feature in SMB2 since its inception. Encryption starts in SMB3 as an important security enhancement. This article reviews the security evolution of the authenticated session as well as computation of keys used in SMB 2.x through 3.1.1 dialects. It provides test vectors for key computation in SMB 3.0 and SMB 3.1.1. The samples illustrate the multichannel scenario and include step-by-step key calculation with pre-authentication integrity. Finally, the article highlights why Kerberos should be preferred over NTLMv2 whenever possible.

Introduction

The security model in MS-SMB2 relies upon authenticating the client-user identity before accessing a share on the server. Once the user is authenticated, the server may mandate message signing or encryption. The server also controls access to the share based on which users, groups, or claims are authorized to have various levels of access. This blog does not discuss authorization model.
This article focuses on how MS-SMB2 achieves message integrity and confidentially for the authenticated user. We elaborate on the link as well as the distinction between the GSS-authenticated user session and the SMB2 session.
SMB2 message integrity ensures that packets are not tampered or replayed while in-flight. Signing has always been part of the SMB2 protocol since its beginning in dialect 2.0.2 (Windows Vista). SMB 3.0 (Windows 8) adds a new signing algorithm and key calculation.
Confidentiality provides secure data access over untrusted networks by preventing data inspection. SMB 3.0 introduces end-to-end encryption built in the protocol. In SMB 3.1.1 (Windows 10), the encryption algorithm can be negotiated, and the cryptographic key computation is enhanced with pre-authentication integrity.

Windows versions and chronology of dialects in MS-SMB2

When a new Windows version introduces a new SMB dialect, all previous dialects are mostly available for backward compatibility with older versions. Although SMBv1 dialect is still around, it is on the way of being gradually phased out.

Deprecating SMB1

We have been asking the world to stop using the legacy SMBv1. Recently, US-CERT issued a security bulletin advising to disable SMBv1 and move to SMB 2.x or preferably SMB 3.x.
Windows XP and Windows 2003 have SMBv1 only. As you are probably aware, Windows XP support ended on April 8, 2014. Windows Server 2003 extended support ended on July 14, 2015. These non-serviced operating systems still command some footprint and everybody has not migrated yet from Windows XP and Windows Server 2003.
It will take an industry effort to overcome some of the challenges on the deprecation path. These challenges include old printers, scanners and NAS devices.

Dialects in Windows 10 v1703 implementation of MS-SMB2

In the following table, as in the rest of this article, we are only focusing on SMB protocols version 2 and 3 specified in MS-SMB2.
Client      ----   server   ----   dialect

8.1          ---    2012 R2    ---   3.0.2
10           ---    2016          ---   3.1.1
For a general discussion on SMB dialects in Windows 8.1 and Server 2012 R2, we encourage the reader to consult the following blog.

https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/josebda/2013/10/02/windows-server-2012-r2-which-version-of-the-smb-protocol-smb-1-0-smb-2-0-smb-2-1-smb-3-0-or-smb-3-02-are-you-using/
Windows 10 v1703 sends SMB2 Negotiate with supported dialects: 2.0.2, 2.1, 3.0, 3.0.2, 3.1.1 (i.e. Dialects array on the wire: 02 02 10 02 00 03 02 03 11 03). Windows Server 2016 responds with dialect revision: 3.1.1 (i.e. network bytes 11 03), whereas Windows 2012 R2 responds with dialect revision: 3.0.2 (i.e. 02 03), and so on for other versions.
The dialect is negotiated along with supported capabilities between the client and server (e.g. signing, encryption) among the capabilities defined in the scope of that dialect. SMB2 Negotiate is however unsigned since it occurs prior to authentication. This poses the problem of a man-in-the-middle (MITM) downgrading the dialect or tampering with the capabilities. SMB 3.0 attempted to solve this issue with a post-authentication validation of the Negotiate. SMB 3.1.1 integrated pre-authentication integrity into all the keys derived for the protocol.

Security considerations in SMB2 and SMB3

Key consideration

All cryptographic keys used in SMB 2.x and 3.x are derived from the SessionKey. Therefore, the security of SMB 2/3 signing and encryption relies in part on the session key. This key must be unique, kept secret, and genuinely impossible to guess.
The server should choose an authentication mechanism that provides unique and randomly generated session keys to ensure the security of the signing key, encryption key, and decryption key.

SessionKey

The SessionKey is set to the first 16 bytes of the cryptographic key queried from the GSS protocol (e.g. Kerberos [MS-KILE], NTLM [MS-NLMP]) for this authenticated context. If the cryptographic key is less than 16 bytes, it is right-padded with zero bytes.
Extracting the session key from GSS-API is implementation-dependent. In SSPI (Microsoft’s implementation of GSS-API), the session key is extracted by using QueryContextAttributes with SECPKG_ATTR_SESSION_KEY.

NTLM SessionKey

In NTLM security provider, the SessionKey is the ExportedSessionKey described in MS-NLMP.
NTLM is a challenge response protocol and its session key is based on password hashing that relies on weak cryptography.

  • NTLM does not support any modern cryptographic methods, such as AES or SHA-256. Its key derivation from the password is based on MD4 [RFC1320], DES [FIPS46-2], HMAC_MD5, and RC4.
  • NTLM does not use any salt. It is possible to observe a network packet trace and produce the same key if the attacker knows password, as shown in the appendix by an example of NTLMv2 session key calculation.
  • NTLM does not offer mutual authentication between client and server. The is no so such flag in the protocol.
  • The password length and complexity should be chosen carefully to mitigate brute force attacks.
  • At a minimum, NTLMv2 should be used, and auditing should be in place.

Despite its weakness, NTLM remains a widely-used authentication mechanism in non-domain environments.

See the following blog post for a discussion NTLM keys.

https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/openspecification/2010/04/19/ntlm-keys-and-sundry-stuff/
Note: Extended protection for authentication exists for NTLM over TLS. This binds the TLS session to the NTLM session. Unfortunately, SMB2 does use extended protection authentication because there is no outer authenticated session.
NTLM and Channel Binding Hash (aka Extended Protection for Authentication)
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/openspecification/2013/03/26/ntlm-and-channel-binding-hash-aka-extended-protection-for-authentication/

Kerberos SessionKey

In Kerberos [RFC4120] security provider, the SessionKey is either the sub-session key (subkey) if it was negotiated during KRB_AP_REQ/KRB_AP_REP exchange, or the session key from the ticket if no subkey was negotiated.
When the KDC issues a service ticket, it generates a random session key. Rather than using a pseudo-random number generator (PRNG), the session key should use a truly random number generator, such as one based on measurements of random physical phenomena.  See [RFC4086] for an in-depth discussion of randomness.
For the subkey, it is also strongly encouraged that any key derived by an application for subsequent use include the full key entropy derived from the KDC-generated session key carried in the ticket.
The KDC issues tickets with the strongest encryption type (etype) to protect the session key. The etype is based on configuration of what the KDC enforces and what client and server principals can support (AES256_HMAC_SHA1, AES128_HMAC_SHA1, RC4_HMAC_MD5, DES_CBC_MD5, DES_CBC_CRC).

https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/openspecification/2010/11/17/encryption-type-selection-in-kerberos-exchanges/

https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/openspecification/2011/05/30/windows-configurations-for-kerberos-supported-encryption-type/
https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/petergu/2013/04/14/interpreting-the-supportedencryptiontypes-registry-key/.
Beyond the etype, the security of the Kerberos SessionKey is substantially strengthened if all preceding Kerberos exchanges ([RFC4120] or [MS-KILE]) that lead to the service ticket have reinforced protection. For instance, the authentication service may leverage public key cryptography to protect the initial authentication (PKInit), as specified in [RFC4556], [MS-PKCA], e.g. for smart card authentication.
In its basic form, the security of the Kerberos authentication service depends on the strength of the password used to protect it.

GSS_GetMIC() and GSS_Wrap() or their Ex() extensions

Signing in SMB2 and SMB3 uses their respective algorithms HMAC-SHA256 and AES-128-CMAC. SMB2/3 signing does not use GSS-API GSS_GetMIC() or GSS_GetMICEx().
Likewise, SMB 3.x encryption uses its own encryption algorithms, i.e. AES-128-CCM and AES-128-GCM as introduced earlier in this article. GSS-API GSS_Wrap() or GSS_WrapEx() are not pertinent for SMB3 encryption.
The GSS-API keys should not be confused with SMB2/3 keys, though the latter are derived from the session key. In case of NTLM authentication, NTLM has his own signing and sealing keys, which serve for GSS_GetMICEx(), GSS_VerifyMICEx(), GSS_WrapEX(), GSS_UnwrapEX(). The same remarks apply for Kerberos GSS-API keys, and Kerberos GSS functions.

MS-SMB2 message integrity

SMB2 message integrity manifests on a signed session where signed packets flow from client to server. What happens to message integrity until the session is established?

Signed session

On a signed session, every signed packet includes a signature that the receiver can validate. Unlike SMB1 signing which uses MD5 [RFC1321] as hashing algorithm, SMB2 uses a better hashing for signing. SMB 2.02 and SMB 2.1 use HMAC SHA-256, whereas SMB 3.0 upgrades to AES-128-CMAC for its signing.
Before signing can happen, the client and server need to negotiate signing; and the client needs authenticate first to have a SessionKey from which a SigningKey is derived (more details on this later). SMB 2.x did not have a mechanism to detect MITM downgrading of negotiated capabilities.

Secure dialect negotiation in SMB 3.0.x

Dialect 3.0 implements secure dialect negotiation (SMB 3.0, 3.02) to protect against security-downgrade attacks. When SMB 3.0 is negotiated, the client must send a mandatory signed request to validate the Negotiate information. The validation occurs post-authentication and after the Tree Connect exchange.
https://blogs.msdn.com/b/openspecification/archive/2012/06/28/smb3-secure-dialect-negotiation.aspx
SMB 3.1.1 introduces pre-authentication integrity which supersedes the SMB 3.0.x secure dialect negotiation.

Pre-authentication integrity in SMB 3.1.1

SMB 3.1.1 pre-authentication integrity enhances protection against security-downgrade attacks by verifying the integrity of all messages preceding the session establishment. This mandatory feature protects against any tampering with Negotiate and Session Setup messages by leveraging cryptographic hashing SHA-512 [FIPS180-4]. Pre-authentication integrity also integrates a salt transmitted on the wire as part of the hash calculation. In Windows implementation, the pre-auth-integrity negotiate context has a salt of 32 bytes. The salt is randomly generated (e.g. PRNG) and not reused, otherwise it would allow surface attacks.
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/openspecification/2015/08/11/smb-3-1-1-pre-authentication-integrity-in-windows-10/

Keys in SMB 2.x through 3.1.1

Dialects 2.0.2 and 2.1

Prior to SMB 3.0, the 16-bytes SessionKey was the primary key.
SigningKey: Session.SigningKey is the same as Session.SessionKey.
Application’s session key for an authenticated context: the client returns Session.SessionKey.

Dialects 3.x

In SMB 3.x, two new keys are added to serve for encryption. The application’s session key for an authenticated context has become a key on its own.
The SMB 3.x keys have the following properties:

  • Key size: 128-bit i.e. 16 bytes each.
  • Session.SigningKey: Key used for signing the SMB2 messages on this session.
  • Channel.SigningKey: Key used for signing the SMB2 messages on this channel when session binding is used for multiple channels.
    o If the session is setup with SMB2_SESSION_FLAG_BINDING, Channel.SigningKey must be generated. Both master session and binding session must be from the same security principal, i.e. same security identifier (SID).
    o If SMB2_SESSION_FLAG_BINDING is not set, Channel.SigningKey is set to Session.SigningKey. Note that two security principals can still multiplex separate channels on the same connection.
  • Session.ApplicationKey: Key mainly queried by higher-layer applications. An example is SAMR protocol over named pipe SMB2 transport [MS-SAMR]. ApplicationKey is generated for non-binding sessions.
  • Session.EncryptionKey: Key used by the sender for encrypting messages. There is one encryption key for all sessions bound to a master session. This enables to send encrypted messages on any channel.
  • Session.DecryptionKey: Key used by the receiver for decrypting messages. Likewise, the decryption key is the same for all sessions bound to a master session. If a decrypted message contains compounded related SMB2 messages, these later must all belong to the same SessionId.

Upon authentication, SigningKey, and ApplicationKey are calculated. If encryption is supported (even if not negotiated), EncryptionKey and DecryptionKey are computed.
All these keys are derived using the SP800-108 key derivation function (KDF) (see more details

later in this article). SessionKey is the key derivation key (KDK), a parameter to the KDF.

Dialects 3.0 and 3.0.2

Apart from the KDK input, i.e. SessionKey, the other parameters to the KDF are constants defined for each type of key. (more details in subsequent Sections).

Dialect 3.1.1

SessionKey remains the KDF’s KDK. The context parameter is no longer a constant, instead it is PreauthIntegrityHashValue (see blog “SMB 3.1.1 Pre-authentication Integrity”). The remaining parameters to the KDF are constant, but they differ from the constants used in SMB 3.0.x key derivation. (see specifics in subsequent Sections).

SMB 3.x key derivation function

Ko = SMB3KDF (Ki, Label, Context)
SMB3KDF() is defined as the key derivation function (KDF) in Counter Mode, as specified in [SP800-108] section 5.1, with 'r' value of 32 and 'L' value of 128, and HMAC-SHA256 as the PRF.
Ki – The SessionKey is the key derivation key (KDK), used as an input to the KDF, for SMB 3.x.
Label – the purpose of this derived key, encoded as string and length for SMB 3.x.
Context – the context information of this derived key, encoded as string and length for SMB 3.x.
L – An integer that specifies the length of the derived keying material Ko, L is 128 bits for SMB 3.x cryptographic keys. Note that L is a constant since all SMB 3.x keys are 16 bytes in length.
Ko – Keying material output from the KDF, a binary string of length L, where Ko is the leftmost L bits of KDF result.

Parameters for Dialects 3.0 and 3.0.2 cryptographic keys

Label and context are constants for each type of cryptographic key.

  • SigningKey = SMB3KDF ( SessionKey, "SMB2AESCMAC\0", "SmbSign\0")
  • ApplicationKey = SMB3KDF (SessionKey, "SMB2APP\0", "SmbRpc\0")
  • EncryptionKey (Client) = DecryptionKey (Server) =  SMB3KDF (SessionKey, "SMB2AESCCM\0", "ServerIn \0")
  • EncryptionKey (Server) = DecryptionKey (Client) = SMB3KDF (SessionKey, "SMB2AESCCM\0", "ServerOut\0")

Parameters for Dialect 3.1.1 cryptographic keys

A new label is defined for each type of cryptographic key. The context is Session.PreauthIntegrityHashValue, as described in the “SMB 3.1.1 pre-authentication integrity” blog.

  • SigningKey = SMB3KDF (SessionKey, "SMBSigningKey\0", Session.PreauthIntegrityHashValue)
  • ApplicationKey = SMB3KDF (SessionKey, "SMBAppKey\0", Session.PreauthIntegrityHashValue)
  • EncryptionKey (Client) = DecryptionKey (Server) = SMB3KDF (SessionKey, "SMBC2SCipherKey\0", Session.PreauthIntegrityHashValue)
  • DecryptionKey (Client) = EncryptionKey (Server) = SMB3KDF (SessionKey, "SMBS2CCipherKey\0", Session.PreauthIntegrityHashValue)

SMB 3.x Session binding

SMB2_SESSION_FLAG_BINDING bit is set in the Flags field of the Session Setup request.
For session binding to multiple connections (multichannel), the server needs to call GSS_Accept_sec_context for each additional channel. This requires creating a new-temporary security context to have a SessionKey and derive a SigningKey for the binding channel. Note that the session binding request must be signed with the master session’s SigningKey, as described later in this article.
However, EncryptionKey, DecryptionKey, and ApplicationKey remain the same from the main channel, i.e. remain the same for all related channels.

SMB 3.1.1 Session binding and pre-authentication integrity

If this is a master or binding session setup and the dialect is 3.1.1 or higher, we allocate and initialize the session's pre-authentication integrity hash value starting with the connection's pre-authentication integrity hash. We always start with the pre-authentication hash resulting from processing Negotiate on that connection.
The client side logic is summarized below.
Set Session.PreauthIntegrityHashValue to Connection.PreauthIntegrityHashValue.
Update Session.PreauthIntegrityHashValue with the SessionSetup request.
if it's STATUS_MORE_PROCESSING_REQUIRED, update Session.PreauthIntegrityHashValue with the response, and process subsequent session setup exchange leg.
if it's STATUS_SUCCESS, use Session.PreauthIntegrityHashValue to generate cryptographic keys, then verify the signature of the SessionSetup response.
For the server side, the logic is similar except that we use Session.PreauthIntegrityHashValue when SMB2_SESSION_FLAG_BINDING is NOT set, and
PreauthSession.PreauthIntegrityHashValue when SMB2_SESSION_FLAG_BINDING is set.
This is important because there is no guarantee in which order session bindings will be processed. That way, each session setup processing is isolated from the other, but all use the connection's pre-authentication hash as the starting point.

Signing algorithms

For a signed message, the sender sets the Signature field and the SMB2_FLAGS_SIGNED bit in the Flags field of the SMB2 header. The sender calculates the signature as follows.

Signing in dialects 2.0.2 and 2.1

The signer computes a 32-byte hash by using HMAC-SHA256 over the entire message, beginning with the SMB2 header with the signature field zeroed, and using the provided SigningKey. The HMAC-SHA256 hash is specified in [FIPS180-2] and [RFC2104]
The signature is the first 16-bytes of the hash.

Signing in dialects 3.0, 3.0.2, 3.1.1

The signer computes the 16-byte signature by using AES-128-CMAC over the entire message, beginning with the SMB2 header with the signature field zeroed, and using the SigningKey provided. The AES-128-CMAC is specified in [RFC4493].
For dialect 3.x family, the server must sign the final SessionSetup Response. This excludes guest and anonymous sessions since there is no SigningKey available in those types of contexts.
Signing of the final SMB 3.x SessionSetup Response:

  • Connection.Dialect belongs to the 3.x dialect family:
  • If SMB2_SESSION_FLAG_BINDING is set in the SessionSetup, use Channel.SigningKey.
  • Otherwise, use Session.SigningKey.

For Dialect SMB 3.x, the session binding request is signed with the master session’s SigningKey.

When is the message signed?

Signing negotiation

The client and server negotiate signing by using the SecurityMode field in the SMB2 Negotiate request and response exchange. The client also communicates the SecurityMode in the SessionSetup Request.
SMB2_NEGOTIATE_SIGNING_ENABLED (0x0001)
SMB2_NEGOTIATE_SIGNING_REQUIRED (0x0002)
Windows SMB 2/3 clients always set SMB2_NEGOTIATE_SIGNING_ENABLED flag in the negotiate request and Windows-based servers set it likewise in the response since they all support signing.
MS-SMB2 require all SMB 2/3 servers to implement signing, regardless of whether they set the SMB2_NEGOTIATE_SIGNING_ENABLED flag.

Signing configuration

By default, Windows client and server have the following settings.
Get-SmbClientConfiguration  | fl EnableSecuritySignature,RequireSecuritySignature
EnableSecuritySignature  : True
RequireSecuritySignature : False
The corresponding registry keys on the client are under HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters
Get-SmbServerConfiguration | fl EnableSecuritySignature,RequireSecuritySignature
EnableSecuritySignature  : False
RequireSecuritySignature : False
The corresponding registry keys on the server are under HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters
For additional details on signing configuration and effective behavior, please consult the following blog:
The Basics of SMB Signing (covering both SMB1 and SMB2)
https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/josebda/2010/12/01/the-basics-of-smb-signing-covering-both-smb1-and-smb2/

Requiring signing

The session will have Session.SigningRequired = TRUE if one the following conditions is met:

  • Signing has been required by negotiation.
  • The server configuration requires message signing.
  • The SessionSetup requires signing.

NOTE: Signing cannot be required for guest or anonymous sessions as they do not have proper security context.

Signing the message

To sign a message, the first two prerequisites are:

  • Existence of the signing key: SessionId field has a non-zero value, otherwise there would be no possible signing key. The exception is a guest or anonymous session, which does not have a signing key even there’s a SessionId.
  • Signing requirement: SessionId requires signing, i.e. its Session.SigningRequired is equal to TRUE as outlined previously.

If those two prerequisites are met, the sender signs the message under these specific conditions:

  • It’s a TREE_CONNECT or the message belongs to an un-encrypted TreeId, i.e. its TreeConnect.EncryptData is equal to FALSE. If we are not encrypting, we begin to sign messages as soon the session is established, i.e. the signing key is available and the session requires signing.
  • Connection.Dialect is "3.1.1", and it’s a TREE_CONNECT and SessionId is not an encrypted session, i.e. its Session.EncryptData is equal to FALSE. If 3.1.1 dialect is negotiated, the protocol requires signing or encrypting all TREE_CONNECT sent in non-guest, non-anonymous sessions. When the whole session is not encrypted, we always sign the TREE_CONNECT since all SMB2/3 servers support signing.

There is one notable exception to the “Session.SigningRequired is equal to TRUE” prerequisite. Irrespective of Session.SigningRequired, FSCTL_VALIDATE_NEGOTIATE_INFO should always be signed. Note that if Session.EncryptData is equal to TRUE, the server would not need to verify the signature of FSCTL_VALIDATE_NEGOTIATE_INFO message (see Section “Built-in signing in SMB 3.x encryption”).

Which SigningKey is used?

With SMB 2.x, the signing key is Session.SessionKey.
With SMB 3.x, the notions of multichannel and session binding introduce new rules for whichever of Session.SessionKey or Channel.SigningKey is used.

  • For SessionSetup request, the signing key is Session.SessionKey. For instance, the signing key for session setup request for session binding (SMB2_SESSION_FLAG_BINDING) is Session.SessionKey.
  • For session set up response, if the status code is NOT equal to STATUS_SUCCESS, the signing key is Session.SessionKey. If the session setup response has STATUS_SUCCESS, the signing key is Channel.SigningKey.
  • For any other command, the signing key is Channel.SigningKey. Note that the session can be multiplexed on multiple channels across multiple connections. Since, each channel has their signing key, the sender looks up the Channel in Session.ChannelList that matches the same connection.

When is the message encrypted in SMB 3.x?

A detailed discussion is provided in the blogs mentioned in the following sub-sections.

Encryption negotiation in SMB 3.0

SMB 3.0.x client and server advertise encryption support via the SMB2_GLOBAL_CAP_ENCRYPTION capability flag during the NEGOTIATE. If encryption is enforced on the whole server, each session enables encryption by setting SMB2_SESSION_FLAG_ENCRYPT_DATA in the SessionFlags of SessionSetup response. For a per-share enabled encryption, ShareFlags of TreeConnect response includes SMB2_SHAREFLAG_ENCRYPT_DATA.
SMB 3.0 and SMB 3.0.2 support only the encryption algorithm AES-128-CCM.

SMB 3.1.1 client and server negotiate encryption support by exchanging supported cipher IDs 0x0002 (AES-128-GCM) and 0x0001 (AES-128-CCM) in SMB2_ENCRYPTION_CAPABILITIES negotiate context in the NEGOTIATE request and response.

SMB 3.1.1 Encryption in Windows 10

https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/openspecification/2015/09/09/smb-3-1-1-encryption-in-windows-10/

Encryption configuration summary

As discussed in the abovementioned blogs, the configuration items that affect encryption on Windows 8 / Windows Server 2012 and onward are:
Global level encryption on the server:
Set-SmbServerConfiguration -EncryptData <0|1>
If enabled, SessionSetup.Response.SessionFlags includes SMB2_SESSION_FLAG_ENCRYPT_DATA.
Share level encryption:
New-SmbShare -Name <share name> -Path <pathname> -EncryptData 1
Set-SmbShare -Name <share name> -EncryptData <0|1>
If enabled, TreeConnect.Response.ShareFlags sets SMB2_SHAREFLAG_ENCRYPT_DATA.
Server-wide encryption has precedence over share level encryption. If global encryption is enabled, you cannot selectively disable encryption for certain shares.
Keep in mind that a dynamic change of the share’s EncryptData property would mean different encryption experience if existing TreeIds prior to the change remain connected. New TreeId connections after the change would reflect the new value of the share’s EncryptData property. Thus, when the administrator reconfigures Share.EncryptData, is it recommended to force disconnection of all current connections to allow clients to pick the new configuration.
Unencrypted access:
Set-SmbServerConfiguration -RejectUnencryptedAccess <0|1>
This is for down-level clients. See discussion on security impact in Section “Unencrypted Access: RejectUnencryptedAccess” of blog entry “SMB 3.1.1 Encryption in Windows 10”.

Built-in signing in SMB 3.x encryption

Integrity (message authentication) is built into the algorithms used for encryption in SMB 3.x, i.e. AES-128-CCM and AES-128-GCM. These encryption algorithms incorporate the benefit of a message authentication code. Successful decryption means that SMB3 crypto processing has checked the integrity of the encrypted message. The receiver does not need to validate the signature of the inner SMB2 message itself. In general, signing the SMB2 message before encrypting it would be a waste of CPU cycles without any additional security.
SMB 3.x encryption supplants regular signing: it does not and should not turn off message signing. When SMB 3.x encryption is in use, we do not need regular signing. However, “RejectUnencryptedAccess set to FALSE” should not disable signing, i.e. does not mean bypass RequireMessageSigning. A message that is not encrypted shall be subject to the rules of regular signing.

Conclusion

We have discussed the anatomy of signing and cryptographic keys used in MS-SMB2 protocol for all dialects supported by Windows 10. These keys – directly or indirectly – support the following security features:
In SMB 2.0.2 and 2.1 dialects:

  • Message integrity across an authenticated session.

In SMB 3.0 dialect:

  • Message integrity (with a stronger algorithm) across an authenticated session.
  • Encryption of traffic between client and server.
  • Session binding to multiple connections (multichannel).
  • Validation of negotiated information.

In SMB 3.1.1 dialect:

  • All the above 3.0 dialect security features, except the validation of negotiated information.
  • Negotiation of encryption and integrity algorithms.
  • Protection of negotiation and session establishment.

NTLMv2 SessionKey calculation example

These steps show how the SessionKey is calculated for the master session used in the SMB 3.1.1 multichannel example.
These steps show that with the knowledge of the password and a packet sniff, one can derive the NTLM SessionKey.
The steps follow MS-NLMP, compute NTLMv2 SessionKey, and verify that it matches the ExportedSessionKey.
Recall the cryptographicKey (SessionKey) 0x270E1BA896585EEB7AF3472D3B4C75A7
(queried from GSS authenticated context)

(this matches the key queried from GSS-API)

For completeness, we also show here the computation of the remaining NTLM keys. Note those keys have no use in SMB2/3.

Check SIGNKEY() algorithm in MS-NLMP for specific details.

Because we have NTLMSSP_NEGOTIATE_EXTENDED_SESSIONSECURITY flag set:
Client Signing key = MD5(ConcatenationOf(ExportedSessionKey,
"session key to client-to-server signing key magic constant"))
Server Signing key = MD5(ConcatenationOf(ExportedSessionKey,
"session key to server-to-client signing key magic constant"))

Server Signing key = E1BD8B416B0B709D295E12F2CF18E6C5
Client Signing key = D43F36C44BCE0630250A09EA0C2E8C2C

Check SEALKEY() algorithm in MS-NLMP for specific details.

Because NTLMSSP_NEGOTIATE_EXTENDED_SESSIONSECURITY flag is set and
NTLMSSP_NEGOTIATE_128 is set:
Client Sealing Key = MD5(ConcatenationOf(ExportedSessionKey,
"session key to client-to-server sealing key magic constant"))
Server Sealing Key = MD5(ConcatenationOf(ExportedSessionKey,
"session key to server-to-client sealing key magic constant"))
