Introduction + + PASSporT [RFC8225] is a token format based on JSON Web Token (JWT) + [RFC7519] for conveying cryptographically signed information about + the identities involved in personal communications. PASSporT with + Secure Telephone Identity Revisited (STIR) [RFC8224] provides a + mechanism by which an authority on the originating side of a call, + using a protocol like SIP [RFC3261], can provide a cryptographic + assurance of the validity of the calling party telephone number in + order to prevent impersonation attacks. + + + + +Singh, et al. Standards Track [Page 2] + +RFC 8443 PASSporT-ext August 2018 + + + [RFC4412] defines a mechanism to prioritize access to SIP-signaled + resources during periods of communications resource scarcity using + the SIP 'Resource-Priority' header. As specified in [RFC4412], the + SIP 'Resource-Priority' header field may be used by SIP user agents + (UAs) [RFC3261] (including Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) + gateways and SIP proxy servers) to influence prioritization afforded + to communication sessions, including PSTN calls (e.g., to manage + scarce network resources during network congestion scenarios). + However, the SIP 'Resource-Priority' header field could be spoofed + and abused by unauthorized entities, the threat models and use cases + of which are described in [RFC7375] and [RFC7340], respectively. + + Compromise of the SIP 'Resource-Priority' header field [RFC4412] + could lead to misuse of network resources (i.e., during congestion + scenarios), impacting the application services supported using the + SIP 'Resource-Priority' header field. + + [RFC8225] allows extensions by which an authority on the originating + side verifying the authorization of a particular communication for + the SIP 'Resource-Priority' header field can use a PASSPorT claim to + cryptographically sign the SIP 'Resource-Priority' header field and + convey assertion of the authorization for the SIP 'Resource-Priority' + header field. A signed SIP 'Resource-Priority' header field will + allow a receiving entity (including entities located in different + network domains/boundaries) to verify the validity of assertions + authorizing the SIP 'Resource-Priority' header field and to act on + the information with confidence that the information has not been + spoofed or compromised. + + This specification documents an extension to PASSporT and the + associated STIR mechanisms to provide a function to cryptographically + sign the SIP 'Resource-Priority' header field. This PASSporT object + is used to provide attestation of a calling-user authorization for + priority communications. This is necessary in addition to the + PASSporT object that is used for calling-user telephone-number + attestation. How this extension to PASSporT is used for real-time + communications supported using the SIP 'Resource-Priority' header + field is outside the scope of this document. In addition, the + PASSPorT extension defined in this document is intended for use in + environments where there are means to verify that the signer of the + SIP 'Resource-Priority' header field is authoritative. + + + + + + + + + + +Singh, et al. Standards Track [Page 3] + +RFC 8443 PASSporT-ext August 2018 + + +2. Terminology + + The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", + "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and + "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in + BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all + capitals, as shown here. + +3. PASSporT "rph" Claim + + This specification defines a new JSON Web Token claim for "rph" that + provides an assertion for information in the SIP 'Resource-Priority' + header field. + + The creator of a PASSporT object adds a "ppt" value of "rph" to the + header of a PASSporT object. The PASSporT claims MUST contain an + "rph" claim, and any entities verifying the PASSporT object will be + required to understand the "ppt" extension in order to process the + PASSporT in question. A PASSPorT header with the "ppt" included will + look as follows: + + { + "typ":"passport", + "ppt":"rph", + "alg":"ES256", + "x5u":"https://www.example.org/cert.cer" + } + + The "rph" claim will provide an assertion of authorization, "auth", + for information in the SIP 'Resource-Priority' header field based on + [RFC4412]. The syntax is: + + { + Resource-Priority = "Resource-Priority" : r-value, + r-value = namespace "." r-priority + } + + Specifically, the "rph" claim includes an assertion of the priority + level of the user to be used for a given communication session. The + value of the "rph" claim is an object with one or more keys. Each + key is associated with a JSON array. These arrays contain strings + that correspond to the r-values indicated in the SIP 'Resource- + Priority' header field. + + + + + + + + +Singh, et al. Standards Track [Page 4] + +RFC 8443 PASSporT-ext August 2018 + + + The following is an example "rph" claim for a SIP 'Resource-Priority' + header field with one r-value of "ets.0" and with another r-value of + "wps.0": + + { + "orig":{"tn":"12155550112"}, + "dest":{["tn":"12125550113"]}, + "iat":1443208345, + "rph":{"auth":["ets.0", "wps.0"]} + } + + After the header and claims PASSporT objects have been constructed, + their signature is generated normally per the guidance in [RFC8225] + using the full form of PASSPorT. The credentials (i.e., Certificate) + used to create the signature must have authority over the namespace + of the "rph" claim, and there is only one authority per claim. The + authority MUST use its credentials associated with the specific + service supported by the resource priority namespace in the claim. + If r-values are added or dropped by the intermediaries along the + path, the intermediaries must generate a new "rph" header and sign + the claim with their own authority. + + The use of the compact form of PASSporT is not specified in this + document. + +4. "rph" in SIP + + This section specifies SIP-specific usage for the "rph" claim in + PASSporT. + +4.1. Authentication Service Behavior + + The Authentication Service will create the "rph" claim using the + values discussed in Section 3 of this document that are based on + [RFC4412]. The construction of the "rph" claim follows the steps + described in Section 4.1 of [RFC8224]. + + The resulting Identity header for "rph" might look as follows + (backslashes shown for line folding only): + + Identity:eyJhbGciOiJFUzI1NiIsInBwdCI6InJwaCIsInR5cCI6InBhc3Nwb3J0\ + IiwieDV1IjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZXhhbXBsZS5jb20vY2VydC5jZXIifQo.eyJkZ\ + XN0Ijp7WyJ0biI6IjEyMTI1NTUwMTEzIl19LCJpYXQiOiIxNDQzMjA4MzQ1Iiwib3\ + JpZyI6eyJ0biI6IjEyMTU1NTUwMTEyIn0sInJwaCI6eyJhdXRoIjpbImV0cy4wIiw\ + id3BzLjAiXX19Cg.s37S6VC8HM6Dl6YzJeQDsrZcwJ0lizxhUrA7f_98oWBHvo-cl\ + -n8MIhoCr18vYYFy3blXvs3fslM_oos2P2Dyw;info=<https://www.example.\ + org/cert.cer>;alg=ES256;ppt="rph" + + + + +Singh, et al. Standards Track [Page 5] + +RFC 8443 PASSporT-ext August 2018 + + + A SIP authentication service will derive the value of "rph" from the + SIP 'Resource-Priority' header field based on policy associated with + service-specific use of r-values, defined as follows in [RFC4412]: + + r-value = namespace "." r-priority + + The authentication service derives the value of the PASSPorT claim by + verifying the authorization for the SIP 'Resource-Priority' header + field (i.e., verifying a calling-user privilege for the SIP + 'Resource-Priority' header field based on its identity). The + authorization might be derived from customer-profile data or access + to external services. + + [RFC4412] allows multiple "namespace "." priority value" pairs, + either in a single SIP 'Resource-Priority' header field or across + multiple SIP 'Resource-Priority' header fields. An authority is + responsible for signing all the content of a SIP 'Resource-Priority' + header field for which it has the authority. + +4.2. Verification Service Behavior + + [RFC8224], Section 6.2, Step 5 requires that specifications defining + "ppt" values describe any additional verifier behavior. The behavior + specified for the "ppt" values of "rph" is as follows: + + The verification service MUST extract the value associated with the + "auth" key in a full-form PASSPorT with a "ppt" value of "rph". If + the signature validates, then the verification service can use the + value of the "rph" claim as validation that the calling party is + authorized for SIP 'Resource-Priority' header fields as indicated in + the claim. This value would, in turn, be used for priority treatment + in accordance with local policy for the associated communication + service. If the signature validation fails, the verification service + should infer that the calling party is not authorized for SIP + 'Resource-Priority' header fields as indicated in the claim. In such + cases, the priority treatment for the associated communication + service is handled as per the local policy of the verifier. In such + scenarios, the SIP 'Resource-Priority' header field SHOULD be + stripped from the SIP request, and the network entities should treat + the call as an ordinary call. + + In addition, [RFC8224], Section 6.2, Step 4 requires the "iat" value + in "rph" claim to be verified. + + + + + + + + +Singh, et al. Standards Track [Page 6] + +RFC 8443 PASSporT-ext August 2018 + + + The behavior of a SIP UA upon receiving an INVITE containing a + PASSporT object with an "rph" claim will largely remain a matter of + implementation policy for the specific communication service. In + most cases, implementations would act based on confidence in the + veracity of this information. + +5. Further Information Associated with the SIP 'Resource-Priority' + Header Field + + There may be additional information about the calling party or the + call that could be relevant to authorization for the SIP 'Resource- + Priority' header field. This may include information related to the + device subscription of the caller, to any institutions that the + caller or device is associated with, or even to categories of + institutions. All of these data elements would benefit from the + secure attestations provided by the STIR and PASSporT frameworks. + The specification of the "rph" claim could entail the optional + presence of one or more such additional information fields applicable + to the SIP 'Resource-Priority' header field. + + A new IANA registry has been defined to hold potential values of the + "rph" array; see Section 6.2. The definition of the "rph" claim may + have one or more such additional information field(s). Details of + how an "rph" claim encompasses other data elements are left for + future specifications. + +6. IANA Considerations + +6.1. JSON Web Token Claims + + IANA has added a new claim to the "JSON Web Token Claims" registry as + defined in [RFC7519]. + + o Claim Name: "rph" + + o Claim Description: Resource Priority Header Authorization + + o Change Controller: IESG + + o Specification Document(s): Section 3 of RFC 8443 + +6.2. PASSporT Types + + IANA has created a new entry in the "Personal Assertion Token + (PASSporT) Extensions" registry for the type "rph", which is + specified in this document. In addition, the "PASSporT Resource + Priority Header (rph) Types" registry has been created in which each + entry must contain two fields: the name of the "rph" type and the + + + +Singh, et al. Standards Track [Page 7] + +RFC 8443 PASSporT-ext August 2018 + + + specification in which the type is described. This registry has been + initially populated with the single value for "auth", which is + specified in this document. Registration of new "rph" types shall be + under the Specification Required policy[RFC8126]. + +7. Security Considerations + + The security considerations discussed in [RFC8224], Section 12, are + applicable here. + +7.1. Avoidance of Replay and Cut-and-Paste Attacks + + The PASSporT extension with a "ppt" value of "rph" MUST only be sent + with SIP INVITE when the SIP 'Resource-Priority' header field is used + to convey the priority of the communication, as defined in [RFC4412]. + To avoid replay and cut-and-paste attacks, the recommendations + provided in Section 12.1 of [RFC8224] MUST be followed. + +7.2. Solution Considerations + + Using extensions to PASSporT tokens with a "ppt" value of "rph" + requires knowledge of the authentication, authorization, and + reputation of the signer to attest to the identity being asserted, + including validating the digital signature and the associated + certificate chain to a trust anchor. The following considerations + should be recognized when using PASSporT extensions with a "ppt" + value of "rph": + + o A signer is only allowed to sign the content of a SIP 'Resource- + Priority' header field for which it has the proper authorization. + Before signing tokens, the signer MUST have a secure method for + authentication of the end user or the device being granted a + token. + + o The verification of the signature MUST include means of verifying + that the signer is authoritative for the signed content of the + resource priority namespace in the PASSporT. + +8.
