+ Personal Assertion Token (PaSSporT) Extension for Signature-based
+ Handling of Asserted information using toKENs (SHAKEN)
+
+Abstract
+
+ This document extends the Personal Assertion Token (PASSporT), which
+ is a token object that conveys cryptographically signed information
+ about the participants involved in communications. The extension is
+ defined based on the "Signature-based Handling of Asserted
+ information using toKENs (SHAKEN)" specification by the ATIS/SIP
+ Forum IP-NNI Task Group. It provides both (1) a specific set of
+ levels of confidence in the correctness of the originating identity
+ of a call originated in a SIP-based telephone network as well as (2)
+ an identifier that allows the Service Provider (SP) to uniquely
+ identify the origin of the call within its network.
+

+RFC 8588 SHAKEN May 2019
+
+
+1. Introduction
+
+ The Signature-based Handling of Asserted information using toKENs
+ (SHAKEN) [ATIS-1000074] specification defines a framework for using
+ Secure Telephone Identity Revisited (STIR) protocols including the
+ Personal Assertion Token (PASSporT) [RFC8225], SIP Authenticated
+ Identity Management [RFC8224], and the STIR certificate framework
+ [RFC8226] for implementing the cryptographic validation of an
+ authorized originator of telephone calls using SIP. Because the
+ current telephone network contains traffic originated from both VoIP
+ and TDM/SS7 (Time Division Multiplexing / Signaling System 7), there
+ are many scenarios that need to be accounted for where PASSporT
+ signatures may represent either direct or indirect call origination
+ scenarios. The SHAKEN [ATIS-1000074] specification defines levels of
+ attestation of the origination of the call as well as an origination
+ identifier that can help create a unique association between the
+ origin of a particular call to the point in the VoIP or TDM telephone
+ network the call came from to identify, for example, either a
+ customer or class of service that call represents. This document
+ specifies these values as claims to extend the base set of PASSporT
+ claims.
+
+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.
+
+ In addition, the following terms are used in this document:
+
+ o Verified association: Typically defined as an authenticated
+ relationship between a customer and a device that initiated a call
+ on behalf of that customer, for example, a subscriber account with
+ a specific SIM card or set of SIP credentials.
+
+ o PASSporT: Defined in [RFC8225] is a JSON Web Token [RFC7519]
+ defined specifically for securing the identity of an initiator of
+ personal communication. This document defines a specific
+ extension to PASSporT.

+
+
+3. Overview of "shaken" PASSporT Extension
+
+ The SHAKEN framework is designed to use PASSporT [RFC8225] as a
+ method of asserting the caller's telephone identity. In addition to
+ the PASSporT base claims, there are two additional claims that have
+ been defined for the needs of a service provider to signal
+ information beyond just the telephone identity. First, in order to
+ help bridge the transition of the state of the current telephone
+ network (which has calls with no authentication and non-SIP [RFC3261]
+ signaling not compatible with the use of PASSporT and Secure
+ Telephone Identity (STI) in general), there is an attestation claim.
+ This provides three levels of attestation: a full attestation when
+ the service provider can fully attest to the calling identity, a
+ partial attestation when the service provider originated a telephone
+ call but cannot fully attest to the calling identity, and a gateway
+ attestation, which is the lowest level of attestation and represents
+ the service provider receiving a call from a telephone gateway that
+ does not support PASSporT or STI.
+
+ The second claim is a unique origination identifier that should be
+ used by the service provider to identify different sources of
+ telephone calls to support a traceback mechanism that can be used for
+ enforcement and identification of a source of illegitimate calls.
+
+ The use of the compact form of PASSporT is not specified in this
+ document and is not specified for use in SHAKEN [ATIS-1000074].
+
+ The next two sections define these new claims.
+
+4. PASSporT "attest" Claim
+
+ This indicator allows for both identifying the service provider that
+ is vouching for the call as well as clearly indicating what
+ information the service provider is attesting to. The "attest" claim
+ can be one of the following three values: 'A', 'B', or 'C'. These
+ values correspond to 'Full Attestation', 'Partial Attestation', and
+ 'Gateway Attestation', respectively. See [ATIS-1000074] for the
+ definitions of these three levels of attestation.
+
+5. PASSporT "origid" Claim
+
+ The purpose of the "origid" claim is described in [ATIS-1000074].
+ The value of "origid" claim is a Universally Unique Identifier (UUID)
+ as defined in [RFC4122]. Please refer to Section 10 for a discussion
+ of the privacy considerations around the use of this value.

+6. Example "shaken" PASSporT
+
+ Protected Header
+ {
+ "alg":"ES256",
+ "typ":"passport",
+ "ppt":"shaken",
+ "x5u":"https://cert.example.org/passport.cer"
+ }
+ Payload
+ {
+ "attest":"A"
+ "dest":{"tn":["12155550131"]}
+ "iat":"1443208345",
+ "orig":{"tn":"12155550121"},
+ "origid":"123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426655440000"
+ }
+
+7. Using "shaken" in SIP
+
+ The use of the "shaken" PASSporT type and the "attest" and "origid"
+ claims for SIP is formally defined in [ATIS-1000074] using the SIP
+ [RFC3261] Identity header field defined in [RFC8224].
+
+8. Order of Claim Keys
+
+ The order of the claim keys MUST follow the rules of Section 9 of
+ [RFC8225]; the claim keys MUST appear in lexicographic order.
+ Therefore, the claim keys discussed in this document appear in the
+ PASSporT Payload in the following order:
+
+ o attest
+
+ o dest
+
+ o iat
+
+ o orig
+
+ o origid

+
+
+9. Security Considerations
+
+ This document defines a new PASSporT [RFC8225] extension. The
+ considerations related to the security of the PASSporT object itself
+ are the same as those described in [RFC8225].
+
+ [RFC8224] defines how to compare the values of the "dest", "orig",
+ and "iat" claims against fields in a SIP message containing a
+ PASSporT as part of validating that request. The values of the new
+ "attest" and "origid" claims added by this extension are not used in
+ such a validation step. They are not compared to fields in the SIP
+ message. Instead, they simply carry additional information from the
+ signer to the consumer of the PASSporT. This new information shares
+ the same integrity protection and non-repudiation properties as the
+ base claims in the PASSporT.
+
+10. Privacy Considerations
+
+ As detailed in Section 26 of [RFC3261], SIP messages inherently carry
+ identifying information of the caller and callee. The addition of
+ STIR cryptographically attests that the signing party vouches for the
+ information given about the callee, as is discussed in the Privacy
+ Considerations of [RFC8224].
+
+ SHAKEN [ATIS-1000074] furthermore adds an "origid" value to the STIR
+ PASSporT, which is an opaque unique identifier representing an
+ element on the path of a given SIP request. This identifier is
+ generated by an originating telephone service provider to identify
+ where within their network (e.g. a gateway or particular service
+ element) a call was initiated; "origid" can facilitate forensic
+ analysis of call origins when identifying and stopping bad actors
+ trying to spoof identities or make fraudulent calls.
+
+ The opacity of the "origid" claim value is intended to minimize
+ exposure of information about the origination of calls labeled with
+ an "origid" value. It is therefore RECOMMENDED that implementations
+ generate a unique "origid" value per call in such a way that only the
+ generator of the "origid" can determine when two "origid" values
+ represent the same or different elements. If deployed systems
+ instead use a common or related "origid" for service elements in
+ their network, the potential for discovering patterns through
+ correlation of those calls exists. This could allow a recipient of
+ calls to, for instance, learn that a set of callers are using a
+ particular service or coming through a common gateway. It is
+ expected that SHAKEN PASSporTs are shared only within an [RFC3324]
+ trust domain and will be stripped before calls exit that trust
+ domain, but this information still could be used by analytics on
+
+
+
+
+Wendt & Barnes Standards Track [Page 6]
+
+RFC 8588 SHAKEN May 2019
+
+
+ intermediary and terminating systems to reveal information that could
+ include geographic location and even device-level information,
+ depending on how the "origid" is generated.
+
+11. IANA Considerations
+
+11.1. JSON Web Token claims
+
+ IANA has added two new claims to the "JSON Web Token Claims" registry
+ as defined in [RFC7519].
+
+ Claim Name: attest
+ Claim Description: Attestation level as defined in SHAKEN framework
+ Change Controller: IESG
+ Specification Document(s): RFC 8588
+
+ Claim Name: origid
+ Claim Description: Originating Identifier as defined in SHAKEN
+ framework
+ Change Controller: IESG
+ Specification Document(s): RFC 8588
+
+11.2. PASSporT Types
+
+ IANA has added a new entry in the "Personal Assertion Token
+ (PASSporT) Extensions" registry for the type "shaken", which is
+ specified in this document.
