Introduction + + Section 23.4 of RFC 3261 [1] describes an integrity mechanism that + relies on signing tunneled 'message/sip' MIME bodies within SIP + requests. The purpose of this mechanism is to replicate the headers + of a SIP request within a body carried in that request in order to + provide a digital signature over these headers. The signature on + this body also provides authentication. + + The core requirement that motivates the tunneled 'message/sip' + mechanism is the problem of providing a cryptographically verifiable + identity within a SIP request. The baseline SIP protocol allows a + user agent to express the identity of its user in any of a number of + headers. The primary place for identity information asserted by the + sender of a request is the From header. The From header field + contains a URI (like 'sip:alice@example.com') and an optional + display-name (like "Alice") that identifies the originator of the + request. A user may have many identities that are used in different + contexts. + + Typically, this URI is an address-of-record that can be de-referenced + in order to contact the originator of the request; specifically, it + is usually the same address-of-record under which a user registers + their devices in order to receive incoming requests. This address- + of-record is assigned and maintained by the administrator of the SIP + service in the domain identified by the host portion of the address- + of-record. However, the From field of a request can usually be set + + + +Peterson Standards Track [Page 2] + +RFC 3893 SIP Authenticated Identity Body (AIB) FormatSeptember 2004 + + + arbitrarily by the user of a SIP user agent; the From header of a + message provides no internal assurance that the originating user can + legitimately claim the given identity. Nevertheless, many SIP user + agents will obligingly display the contents of the From field as the + identity of the originator of a received request (as a sort of caller + identification function), much as email implementations display the + From field as the sender's identity. + + In order to provide the recipient of a SIP message with greater + assurance of the identity of the sender, a cryptographic signature + can be provided over the headers of the SIP request, which allows the + signer to assert a verifiable identity. Unfortunately, a signature + over the From header alone is insufficient because it could be cut- + and-pasted into a replay or forwarding attack, and more headers are + therefore needed to correlate a signature with a request. RFC 3261 + therefore recommends copying all of the headers from the request into + a signed MIME body; however, SIP messages can be large, and many of + the headers in a SIP message would not be relevant in determining the + identity of the sender or assuring reference integrity with the + request, and moreover some headers may change in transit for + perfectly valid reasons. Thus, this large tunneled 'message/sip' + body will almost necessarily be at variance with the headers in a + request when it is received by the UAS, and the burden in on the UAS + to determine which header changes were legitimate, and which were + security violations. It is therefore desirable to find a happy + medium - to provide a way of signing just enough headers that the + identity of the sender can be ascertained and correlated with the + request. 'message/sipfrag' [4] provides a way for a subset of SIP + headers to be included in a MIME body; the Authenticated Identity + Body (AIB) format described in Section 2 is based on + 'message/sipfrag'. + + For reasons of end-to-end privacy, it may also be desirable to + encrypt AIBs; procedures for this encryption are given in Section 8. + + This document proposes that the AIB format should be used instead of + the existing tunneled 'message/sip' mechanism described in RFC 3261, + section 23.4, in order to provide the identity of the caller; if + integrity over other, unrelated headers is required, then the + 'message/sip' mechanism should be used. + +1.1. Requirements Notation + + The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", + "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this + document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14, RFC 2119 [2]. + + + + + +Peterson Standards Track [Page 3] + +RFC 3893 SIP Authenticated Identity Body (AIB) FormatSeptember 2004 + + +2. AIB Format + + As a way of sharing authenticated identity among parties in the + network, a special type of MIME body format, the Authenticated + Identity Body (AIB) format, is defined in this section. AIBs allow a + party in a SIP transaction to cryptographically sign the headers that + assert the identity of the originator of a message, and provide some + other headers necessary for reference integrity. + + An AIB is a MIME body of type 'message/sipfrag' - for more + information on constructing sipfrags, including examples, see [4]. + This MIME body MUST have a Content-Disposition [3] disposition-type + of 'aib', a new value defined in this document specifically for + authenticated identity bodies. The Content-Disposition header SHOULD + also contain a 'handling' parameter indicating that this MIME body is + optional (i.e., if this mechanism is not supported by the user agent + server, it can still attempt to process the request). + + AIBs using the 'message/sipfrag' MIME type MUST contain the following + headers when providing identity for an INVITE request: From, Date, + Call-ID, and Contact; they SHOULD also contain the To and CSeq + header. The security properties of these headers, and circumstances + in which they should be used, are described in Section 10. AIBs MAY + contain any other headers that help to uniquely identify the + transaction or provide related reference integrity. An example of + the AIB format for an INVITE is: + + Content-Type: message/sipfrag + Content-Disposition: aib; handling=optional + + From: Alice <sip:alice@example.com> + To: Bob <sip:bob@example.net> + Contact: <sip:alice@pc33.example.com> + Date: Thu, 21 Feb 2002 13:02:03 GMT + Call-ID: a84b4c76e66710 + CSeq: 314159 INVITE + + Unsigned AIBs MUST be treated by any recipients according to the + rules set out in Section 7 for AIBs that do not validate. After the + AIB has been signed, it SHOULD be added to existing MIME bodies in + the request (such as SDP), if necessary by transitioning the + outermost MIME body to a 'multipart/mixed' format. + + + + + + + + + +Peterson Standards Track [Page 4] + +RFC 3893 SIP Authenticated Identity Body (AIB) FormatSeptember 2004 + + +3. Example of a Request with AIB + + The following shows a full SIP INVITE request with an AIB: + + INVITE sip:bob@example.net SIP/2.0 + Via: SIP/2.0/UDP pc33.example.com;branch=z9hG4bKnashds8 + To: Bob <sip:bob@example.net> + From: Alice <sip:alice@example.com>;tag=1928301774 + Call-ID: a84b4c76e66710 + CSeq: 314159 INVITE + Max-Forwards: 70 + Date: Thu, 21 Feb 2002 13:02:03 GMT + Contact: <sip:alice@pc33.example.com> + Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=unique-boundary-1 + + --unique-boundary-1 + + Content-Type: application/sdp + Content-Length: 147 + + v=0 + o=UserA 2890844526 2890844526 IN IP4 example.com + s=Session SDP + c=IN IP4 pc33.example.com + t=0 0 + m=audio 49172 RTP/AVP 0 + a=rtpmap:0 PCMU/8000 + + --unique-boundary-1 + Content-Type: multipart/signed; + protocol="application/pkcs7-signature"; + micalg=sha1; boundary=boundary42 + Content-Length: 608 + + --boundary42 + Content-Type: message/sipfrag + Content-Disposition: aib; handling=optional + + From: Alice <sip:alice@example.com> + To: Bob <sip:bob@example.net> + Contact: <sip:alice@pc33.example.com> + Date: Thu, 21 Feb 2002 13:02:03 GMT + Call-ID: a84b4c76e66710 + CSeq: 314159 INVITE + + --boundary42 + Content-Type: application/pkcs7-signature; name=smime.p7s + Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 + + + +Peterson Standards Track [Page 5] + +RFC 3893 SIP Authenticated Identity Body (AIB) FormatSeptember 2004 + + + Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=smime.p7s; + handling=required + + ghyHhHUujhJhjH77n8HHGTrfvbnj756tbB9HG4VQpfyF467GhIGfHfYT6 + 4VQpfyF467GhIGfHfYT6jH77n8HHGghyHhHUujhJh756tbB9HGTrfvbnj + n8HHGTrfvhJhjH776tbB9HG4VQbnj7567GhIGfHfYT6ghyHhHUujpfyF4 + 7GhIGfHfYT64VQbnj756 + + --boundary42-- + + --unique-boundary-1-- + +4. AIBs for Identifying Third-Parties + + There are special-case uses of the INVITE method in which some SIP + messages are exchanged with a third party before an INVITE is sent, + and in which the identity of the third party needs to be carried in + the subsequent INVITE. The details of addressing identity in such + contexts are outside the scope of this document. At a high level, it + is possible that identity information for a third party might be + carried in a supplemental AIB. The presence of a supplemental AIB + within a message would not preclude the appearance of a 'regular' AIB + as specified in this document. + + Example cases in which supplemental AIBs might appear include: + + The use of the REFER [5] method, for example, has a requirement + for the recipient of an INVITE to ascertain the identity of the + referrer who caused the INVITE to be sent. + + Third-party call control (3PCC [6]) has an even more complicated + identity problem. A central controller INVITEs one party, gathers + identity information (and session context) from that party, and + then uses this information to INVITE another party. Ideally, the + controller would also have a way to share a cryptographic identity + signature given by the first party INVITEd by the controller to + the second party invited by the controller. + + In both of these cases, the Call-ID and CSeq of the original request + (3PCC INVITE or REFER) would not correspond with that of the request + in by the subsequent INVITE, nor would the To or From. In both the + REFER case and the 3PCC case, the Call-ID and CSeq cannot be used to + guarantee reference integrity, and it is therefore much harder to + correlate an AIB to a subsequent INVITE request. + + Thus, in these cases some other headers might be used to provide + reference integrity between the headers in a supplemental AIB with + the headers of a 3PCC or REFER-generated INVITE, but this usage is + + + +Peterson Standards Track [Page 6] + +RFC 3893 SIP Authenticated Identity Body (AIB) FormatSeptember 2004 + + + outside of the scope of this document. In order for AIBs to be used + in these third-party contexts, further specification work is required + to determine which additional headers, if any, need to be included in + an AIB in a specific third-party case, and how to differentiate the + primary AIB in a message from a third-party AIB. + +5. Identity in non-INVITE Requests + + The requirements for populating an AIB in requests within a dialog + generally parallel those of the INVITE: From, Call-ID, Date, and + Contact header fields are REQUIRED. + + Some non-INVITE requests, however, may have different identity + requirements. New SIP methods or extensions that leverage AIB + security MUST identify any special identity requirements in the + Security Considerations of their specification. + +6. Identity in Responses + + Many of the practices described in the preceding sections can be + applied to responses as well as requests. Note that a new set of + headers must be generated to populate the AIB in a response. The + From header field of the AIB in the response to an INVITE MUST + correspond to the address-of-record of the responder, NOT to the From + header field received in the request. The To header field of the + request MUST NOT be included. A new Date header field and Contact + header field should be generated for the AIB in a response. The + Call-ID and CSeq should, however, be copied from the request. + + Generally, the To header field of the request will correspond to the + address-of-record of the responder. In some architectures where re- + targeting is used, however, this need not be the case. Some + recipients of response AIBs may consider it a cause for security + concern if the To header field of the request is not the same as the + address-of-record in the From header field of the AIB in a response. + +7. Receiving an AIB + + When a user agent receives a request containing an AIB, it MUST + verify the signature, including validating the certificate of the + signer, and compare the identity of the signer (the subjectAltName) + with, in the INVITE case, the domain portion of the URI in the From + header field of the request (for non-INVITE requests, other headers + MAY be subject to this comparison). The two should correspond + exactly; if they do not, the user agent MUST report this condition to + its user before proceeding. User agents MAY distinguish between + plausibly minor variations (the difference between 'example.com' and + 'sip.example.com') and major variations ('example.com' vs. + + + +Peterson Standards Track [Page 7] + +RFC 3893 SIP Authenticated Identity Body (AIB) FormatSeptember 2004 + + + 'example.org') when reporting these discrepancies in order to give + the user some idea of how to handle this situation. Analysis and + comparison of the Date, Call-ID, and Contact header fields as + described in Section 10 MUST also be performed. Any discrepancies or + violations MUST be reported to the user. + + When the originating user agent of a request receives a response + containing an AIB, it SHOULD compare the identity in the From header + field of the AIB of the response with the original value of the To + header field in the request. If these represent different + identities, the user agent SHOULD render the identity in the AIB of + the response to its user. Note that a discrepancy in these identity + fields is not necessarily an indication of a security breach; normal + re-targeting may simply have directed the request to a different + final destination. Implementors therefore may consider it + unnecessary to alert the user of a security violation in this case. + +8. Encryption of Identity + + Many SIP entities that support the use of S/MIME for signatures also + support S/MIME encryption, as described in RFC 3261, Section 23.4.3. + + While encryption of AIBs entails that only the holder of a specific + key can decrypt the body, that single key could be distributed + throughout a network of hosts that exist under common policies. The + security of the AIB is therefore predicated on the secure + distribution of the key. However, for some networks (in which there + are federations of trusted hosts under a common policy), the + widespread distribution of a decryption key could be appropriate. + Some telephone networks, for example, might require this model. + + When an AIB is encrypted, the AIB SHOULD be encrypted before it is + signed. Implementations MUST still accept AIBs that have been signed + and then encrypted. + +9. Example of Encryption + + The following is an example of an encrypted and signed AIB (without + any of the preceding SIP headers). In a rendition of this body sent + over the wire, the text wrapped in asterisks would be in ciphertext. + + Content-Type: multipart/signed; + protocol="application/pkcs7-signature"; + micalg=sha1; boundary=boundary42 + Content-Length: 568 + Content-Disposition: aib; handling=optional + + --boundary42 + + + +Peterson Standards Track [Page 8] + +RFC 3893 SIP Authenticated Identity Body (AIB) FormatSeptember 2004 + + + Content-Type: application/pkcs7-mime; smime-type=enveloped-data; + name=smime.p7m + Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 + Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=smime.p7m + handling=required + Content-Length: 231 + + *********************************************************** + * Content-Type: message/sipfrag * + * Content-Disposition: aib; handling=optional * + * * + * From: sip:alice@example.com * + * Call-ID: a84b4c76e66710 * + * Contact: sip:alice@device21.example.com * + * Date: Thu, 21 Feb 2002 13:02:03 GMT * + *********************************************************** + + --boundary42 + + Content-Type: application/pkcs7-signature; name=smime.p7s + Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 + Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=smime.p7s; + handling=required + + ghyHhHUujhJhjH77n8HHGTrfvbnj756tbB9HG4VQpfyF467GhIGfHfYT6 + 4VQpfyF467GhIGfHfYT6jH77n8HHGghyHhHUujhJh756tbB9HGTrfvbnj + n8HHGTrfvhJhjH776tbB9HG4VQbnj7567GhIGfHfYT6ghyHhHUujpfyF4 + 7GhIGfHfYT64VQbnj756 + + --boundary42-- + +10. Security Considerations + + The purpose of an AIB is to provide an identity for the sender of a + SIP message. This identity is held in the From header field of an + AIB. While other headers are also included, they are provided solely + to assist in detection of replays and cut-and-paste attacks leveraged + to impersonate the caller. The contents of the From header field of + a valid AIB are suitable for display as a "Caller ID" for the sender + of the SIP message. + + This document mandates the inclusion of the Contact, Date, Call-ID, + and From header fields within an AIB, and recommends the inclusion of + CSeq and To header fields, when 'message/sipfrag' is used to + represent the identity of a request's sender. If these headers are + omitted, some important security properties of AIB are lost. In + general, the considerations related to the inclusion of various + headers in an AIB are the same as those given in RFC 3261 for + + + +Peterson Standards Track [Page 9] + +RFC 3893 SIP Authenticated Identity Body (AIB) FormatSeptember 2004 + + + including headers in tunneled 'message/sip' MIME bodies (see Section + 23 in particular). + + The From header field indicates the identity of the sender of the + message; were this header to be excluded, the creator of the AIB + essentially would not be asserting an identity at all. The Date and + Contact headers provide reference integrity and replay protection, as + described in RFC 3261, Section 23.4.2. Implementations of this + specification MUST follow the rules for acceptance of the Date header + field in tunneled 'message/sip' requests described in RFC 3261, + Section 23.4.2; this ensures that outdated AIBs will not be replayed + (the suggested interval is that the Date header must indicate a time + within 3600 seconds of the receipt of a message). Implementations + MUST also record Call-IDs received in AIBs, and MUST remember those + Call-IDs for at least the duration of a single Date interval (i.e., + 3600 seconds). Accordingly, if an AIB is replayed within the Date + interval, receivers will recognize that it is invalid because of a + Call-ID duplication; if an AIB is replayed after the Date interval, + receivers will recognize that it is invalid because the Date is + stale. The Contact header field is included to tie the AIB to a + particular device instance that generated the request. Were an + active attacker to intercept a request containing an AIB, and cut- + and-paste the AIB into their own request (reusing the From, Contact, + Date, and Call-ID fields that appear in the AIB), they would not be + eligible to receive SIP requests from the called user agent, since + those requests are routed to the URI identified in the Contact header + field. + + The To and CSeq header fields provide properties that are generally + useful, but not for all possible applications of AIBs. If a new AIB + is issued each time a new SIP transaction is initiated in a dialog, + the CSeq header field provides a valuable property (replay protection + for this particular transaction). If, however, one AIB is used for + an entire dialog, subsequent transactions in the dialog would use the + same AIB that appeared in the INVITE transaction. Using a single AIB + for an entire dialog reduces the load on the generator of the AIB. + The To header field usually designates the original URI that the + caller intended to reach, and therefore it may vary from the + Request-URI if re-targeting occurs at some point in the network. + Accordingly, including the To header field in the AIB helps to + identify cut-and-paste attacks in which an AIB sent to a particular + destination is re-used to impersonate the sender to a different + destination. However, the inclusion of the To header field probably + would not make sense for many third-party AIB cases (as described in + Section 4), nor is its inclusion necessary for responses. + + + + + + +Peterson Standards Track [Page 10] + +RFC 3893 SIP Authenticated Identity Body (AIB) FormatSeptember 2004 + + +11.
