ClientInit, initiated by the client, and contains the client's certificate, list of available cipher suites, and a session resumption attempt.The handshake protocol consists of four messages, sent in plaintext: The elliptic curve used in the key exchange is Curve25519. The certificate chains to a trusted signing service verification key, with the leaf being an Elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman key, that is eventually used for key exchange. Unlike TLS, in ALTS both parties - server and client - have a certificate proving their respective identities. The ALTS handshake protocol is based on authenticated Diffie-Hellman key exchange scheme, and supports both perfect forward secrecy (access to current keys does not compromise future security) and session resumption (noticeable speedups in the protocol after the first session between the parties). RPC) to be used with multiple naming schemes, in order to simplify microservice replication, load balancing and rescheduling between hosts.ĭetails Handshake protocol In TLS, the server side is committed to its own domain name (and corresponding naming scheme), while Google needed the same identity (i.e. As Google was in full control over the machines that needed secure transport of RPCs, deployment of systems was relatively easy, and so Google developers could afford designing their own system from scratch.Īnother requirement that deemed a new system necessary is different trust models: At that time the dominant Application layer protocols were SSL and TLS 1.1 (TLS 1.2 was only published as an RFC in 2008 ), those supported many legacy algorithms and had poor security standards. The ALTS whitepaper was published in December 2017. Google began developing ATLS in 2007 in order to create a security system solution for the company’s infrastructure. Background ĪLTS, similar to TLS, was designed specifically for Google’s data centers and relies on two protocols, Handshake and Record. Google started its development in 2007, as a tailored modification of TLS.
