+ A Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Response Code for Rejected Calls
+
+Abstract
+
+ This document defines the 608 (Rejected) Session Initiation Protocol
+ (SIP) response code. This response code enables calling parties to
+ learn that an intermediary rejected their call attempt. No one will
+ deliver, and thus answer, the call. As a 6xx code, the caller will
+ be aware that future attempts to contact the same User Agent Server
+ will likely fail. The initial use case driving the need for the 608
+ response code is when the intermediary is an analytics engine. In
+ this case, the rejection is by a machine or other process. This
+ contrasts with the 607 (Unwanted) SIP response code in which a human
+ at the target User Agent Server indicates the user did not want the
+ call. In some jurisdictions, this distinction is important. This
+ document also defines the use of the Call-Info header field in 608
+ responses to enable rejected callers to contact entities that blocked
+ their calls in error. This provides a remediation mechanism for
+ legal callers that find their calls blocked.

+1. Introduction
+
+ The IETF has been addressing numerous issues surrounding how to
+ handle unwanted and, depending on the jurisdiction, illegal calls
+ [RFC5039]. Secure Telephone Identity Revisited (STIR) [RFC7340] and
+ Signature-based Handling of Asserted information using toKENs
+ (SHAKEN) [SHAKEN] address the cryptographic signing and attestation,
+ respectively, of signaling to ensure the integrity and authenticity
+ of the asserted caller identity.
+
+ This document describes a new Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
+ [RFC3261] response code, 608, which allows calling parties to learn
+ that an intermediary rejected their call. As described below, we
+ need a distinct indicator to differentiate between a user rejection
+ and an intermediary's rejection of a call. In some jurisdictions,
+ service providers may not be permitted to block calls, even if
+ unwanted by the user, unless there is an explicit user request.
+ Moreover, users may misidentify the nature of a caller.
+
+ For example, a legitimate caller may call a user who finds the call
+ to be unwanted. However, instead of marking the call as unwanted,
+ the user may mark the call as illegal. With that information, an
+ analytics engine may determine to block all calls from that source.
+ However, in some jurisdictions, blocking calls from that source for
+ other users may not be legal. Likewise, one can envision
+ jurisdictions that allow an operator to block such calls, but only if
+ there is a remediation mechanism in place to address false positives.
+
+ Some call-blocking services may return responses such as 604 (Does
+ Not Exist Anywhere). This might be a strategy to try to get a
+ destination's address removed from a calling database. However,
+ other network elements might also interpret this to mean the user
+ truly does not exist, which might result in the user not being able
+ to receive calls from anyone, even if they wanted to receive the
+ calls. In many jurisdictions, providing such false signaling is also
+ illegal.
+
+ The 608 response code addresses this need of remediating falsely
+ blocked calls. Specifically, this code informs the SIP User Agent
+ Client (UAC) that an intermediary blocked the call and provides a
+ redress mechanism that allows callers to contact the operator of the
+ intermediary.
+
+ In the current call handling ecosystem, users can explicitly reject a
+ call or later mark a call as being unwanted by issuing a 607 SIP
+ response code (Unwanted) [RFC8197]. Figures 1 and 2 show the
+ operation of the 607 SIP response code. The User Agent Server (UAS)
+ indicates the call was unwanted. As [RFC8197] explains, not only
+ does the called party desire to reject that call, they can let their
+ proxy know that they consider future calls from that source unwanted.
+ Upon receipt of the 607 response from the UAS, the proxy may send
+ unwanted call indicators, such as the value of the From header field
+ and other information elements, to a call analytics engine. For
+ various reasons described in [RFC8197], if a network operator
+ receives multiple reports of unwanted calls, that may indicate that
+ the entity placing the calls is likely to be a source of unwanted
+ calls for many people. As such, other customers of the service
+ provider may want the service provider to automatically reject calls
+ on their behalf.
+
+ There is another value of the 607 rejection code. Presuming the
+ proxy forwards the response code to the UAC, the calling UAC or
+ intervening proxies will also learn the user is not interested in
+ receiving calls from that sender.

+
+ Figure 1: Unwanted (607) Call Flow
+
+ For calls rejected with a 607 from a legitimate caller, receiving a
+ 607 response code can inform the caller to stop attempting to call
+ the user. Moreover, if a legitimate caller believes the user is
+ rejecting their calls in error, they can use other channels to
+ contact the user. For example, if a pharmacy calls a user to let
+ them know their prescription is available for pickup and the user
+ mistakenly thinks the call is unwanted and issues a 607 response
+ code, the pharmacy, having an existing relationship with the
+ customer, can send the user an email or push a note to the pharmacist
+ to ask the customer to consider not rejecting their calls in the
+ future.
+
+ Many systems that allow the user to mark the call unwanted (e.g.,
+ with the 607 response code) also allow the user to change their mind
+ and unmark such calls. This mechanism is relatively easy to
+ implement as the user usually has a direct relationship with the
+ service provider that is blocking calls.
+
+ However, things become more complicated if an intermediary, such as a
+ third-party provider of call management services that classifies
+ calls based on the relative likelihood that the call is unwanted,
+ misidentifies the call as unwanted. Figure 3 shows this case. Note
+ that the UAS typically does not receive an INVITE since the called
+ party proxy rejects the call on behalf of the user. In this
+ situation, it would be beneficial for the caller to learn who
+ rejected the call so they can correct the misidentification.

+
+ Figure 3: Rejected (608) Call Flow
+
+ In this situation, one might consider having the intermediary use the
+ 607 response code. 607 indicates to the caller that the subscriber
+ does not want the call. However, [RFC8197] specifies that one of the
+ uses of 607 is to inform analytics engines that a user (human) has
+ rejected a call. The problem here is that network elements
+ downstream from the intermediary might interpret the 607 as coming
+ from a user (human) who has marked the call as unwanted, as opposed
+ to coming from an algorithm using statistics or machine learning to
+ reject the call. An algorithm can be vulnerable to the base-rate
+ fallacy [BaseRate] rejecting the call. In other words, those
+ downstream entities should not rely on another entity "deciding" the
+ call is unwanted. By distinguishing between a (human) user rejection
+ and an intermediary engine's statistical rejection, a downstream
+ network element that sees a 607 response code can weigh it as a human
+ rejection in its call analytics, versus deciding whether to consider
+ a 608 at all, and if so, weighing it appropriately.
+
+ It is useful for blocked callers to have a redress mechanism. One
+ can imagine that some jurisdictions will require it. However, we
+ must be mindful that most of the calls that intermediaries block
+ will, in fact, be illegal and eligible for blocking. Thus, providing
+ alternate contact information for a user would be counterproductive
+ to protecting that user from illegal communications. This is another
+ reason we do not propose to simply allow alternate contact
+ information in a 607 response message.
+
+ Why do we not use the same mechanism an analytics service provider
+ offers their customers? Specifically, why not have the analytics
+ service provider allow the called party to correct a call blocked in
+ error? The reason is that while there is an existing relationship
+ between the customer (called party) and the analytics service
+ provider, it is unlikely there is a relationship between the caller
+ and the analytics service provider. Moreover, there are numerous
+ call blocking providers in the ecosystem. Therefore, we need a
+ mechanism for indicating an intermediary rejected a call that also
+ provides contact information for the operator of that intermediary
+ without exposing the target user's contact information.
+
+ The protocol described in this document uses existing SIP protocol
+ mechanisms for specifying the redress mechanism. In the Call-Info
+ header field passed back to the UAC, we send additional information
+ specifying a redress address. We choose to encode the redress
+ address using jCard [RFC7095]. As we will see later in this
+ document, this information needs to have its own application-layer
+ integrity protection. Thus, we use jCard rather than vCard
+ [RFC6350], as we have a marshaling mechanism for creating a
+ JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) [RFC8259] object, such as a jCard,
+ and a standard integrity format for such an object, namely, JSON Web
+ Signature (JWS) [RFC7515]. The SIP community is familiar with this
+ concept as it is the mechanism used by STIR [RFC8224].
+
+ Integrity protecting the jCard with a cryptographic signature might
+ seem unnecessary at first, but it is essential to preventing
+ potential network attacks. Section 6 describes the attack and why we
+ sign the jCard in more detail.
+
+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. Protocol Operation
+
+ This section uses the term "intermediary" to mean the entity that
+ acts as a SIP UAS on behalf of the user in the network as opposed to
+ the user's UAS (usually, but not necessarily, their phone). The
+ intermediary could be a back-to-back user agent (B2BUA) or a SIP
+ Proxy.
+
+ Figure 4 shows an overview of the call flow for a rejected call.

+
+3.1. Intermediary Operation
+
+ An intermediary MAY issue the 608 response code in a failure response
+ for an INVITE, MESSAGE, SUBSCRIBE, or other out-of-dialog SIP
+ [RFC3261] request to indicate that an intermediary rejected the
+ offered communication as unwanted by the user. An intermediary MAY
+ issue the 608 as the value of the "cause" parameter of a SIP reason-
+ value in a Reason header field [RFC3326].
+
+ If an intermediary issues a 608 code and there are no indicators the
+ calling party will use the contents of the Call-Info header field for
+ malicious purposes (see Section 6), the intermediary MUST include a
+ Call-Info header field in the response.
+
+ If there is a Call-Info header field, it MUST have the "purpose"
+ parameter of "jwscard". The value of the Call-Info header field MUST
+ refer to a valid JSON Web Signature (JWS) [RFC7515] encoding of a
+ jCard [RFC7095] object. The following section describes the
+ construction of the JWS.
+
+ Proxies need to be mindful that a downstream intermediary may reject
+ the attempt with a 608 while other paths may still be in progress.
+ In this situation, the requirements stated in Section 16.7 of
+ [RFC3261] apply. Specifically, the proxy should cancel pending
+ transactions and must not create any new branches. Note this is not
+ a new requirement but simply pointing out the existing 6xx protocol
+ mechanism in SIP.
+
+3.2. JWS Construction
+
+ The intermediary constructs the JWS of the jCard as follows.
+
+3.2.1. JOSE Header
+
+ The Javascript Object Signing and Encryption (JOSE) header MUST
+ include the typ, alg, and x5u parameters from JWS [RFC7515]. The typ
+ parameter MUST have the value "vcard+json". Implementations MUST
+ support ES256 as JSON Web Algorithms (JWA) [RFC7518] defines it and
+ MAY support other registered signature algorithms. Finally, the x5u
+ parameter MUST be a URI that resolves to the public key certificate
+ corresponding to the key used to digitally sign the JWS.
+
+3.2.2. JWT Payload
+
+ The payload contains two JSON values. The first JSON Web Token (JWT)
+ claim that MUST be present is the "iat" (issued at) claim [RFC7519].
+ The "iat" MUST be set to the date and time of the issuance of the 608
+ response. This mandatory component protects the response from replay
+ attacks.
+
+ The second JWT claim that MUST be present is the "jcard" claim. The
+ value of the jcard [RFC7095] claim is a JSON array conforming to the
+ JSON jCard data format defined in [RFC7095]. Section 5.3 describes
+ the registration. In the construction of the jcard claim, the
+ "jcard" MUST include at least one of the URL, EMAIL, TEL, or ADR
+ properties. UACs supporting this specification MUST be prepared to
+ receive a full jCard. Call originators (at the UAC) can use the
+ information returned by the jCard to contact the intermediary that
+ rejected the call to appeal the intermediary's blocking of the call
+ attempt. What the intermediary does if the blocked caller contacts
+ the intermediary is outside the scope of this document.
+
+3.2.3. JWS Signature
+
+ JWS [RFC7515] specifies the procedure for calculating the signature
+ over the jCard JWT. Section 4 of this document has a detailed
+ example on constructing the JWS, including the signature.
+
+3.3. UAC Operation
+
+ A UAC conforming to this specification MUST include the sip.608
+ feature-capability indicator in the Feature-Caps header field of the
+ INVITE request.
+
+ Upon receiving a 608 response, UACs perform normal SIP processing for
+ 6xx responses.
+
+ As for the disposition of the jCard itself, the UAC MUST check the
+ "iat" claim in the JWT. As noted in Section 3.2.2, we are concerned
+ about replay attacks. Therefore, the UAC MUST reject jCards that
+ come with an expired "iat". The definition of "expired" is a matter
+ of local policy. A reasonable value would be on the order of a
+ minute due to clock drift and the possibility of the playing of an
+ audio announcement before the delivery of the 608 response.
+
+3.4. Legacy Interoperation
+
+ If the UAC indicates support for 608 and the intermediary issues a
+ 608, life is good, as the UAC will receive all the information it
+ needs to remediate an erroneous block by an intermediary. However,
+ what if the UAC does not understand 608? For example, how can we
+ support callers from a legacy, non-SIP, public-switched network
+ connecting to the SIP network via a media gateway?
+
+ We address this situation by having the first network element that
+ conforms with this specification play an announcement. See
+ Section 3.5 for requirements on the announcement. The simple rule is
+ a network element that inserts the sip.608 feature capability MUST be
+ able to convey at a minimum how to contact the operator of the
+ intermediary that rejected the call attempt.
+
+ The degenerate case is the intermediary is the only element that
+ understands the semantics of the 608 response code. Obviously, any
+ SIP device will understand that a 608 response code is a 6xx error.
+ However, there are no other elements in the call path that understand
+ the meaning of the value of the Call-Info header field. The
+ intermediary knows this is the case as the INVITE request will not
+ have the sip.608 feature capability. In this case, one can consider
+ the intermediary to be the element "inserting" a virtual sip.608
+ feature capability. If the caveats described in Sections 3.5 and 6
+ do not hold, the intermediary MUST play the announcement.
+
+ Now we take the case where a network element that understands the 608
+ response code receives an INVITE for further processing. A network
+ element conforming with this specification MUST insert the sip.608
+ feature capability per the behaviors described in Section 4.2 of
+ [RFC6809].
+
+ Do note that even if a network element plays an announcement
+ describing the contents of the 608 response message, the network
+ element MUST forward the 608 response code message as the final
+ response to the INVITE.
+
+ One aspect of using a feature capability is that only the network
+ elements that will either consume (UAC) or play an announcement
+ (media gateway, session border controller (SBC) [RFC7092], or proxy)
+ need to understand the sip.608 feature capability. If the other
+ network elements conform to Section 16.6 of [RFC3261], they will pass
+ header fields such as "Feature-Caps: *;+sip.608" unmodified and
+ without need for upgrade.
+
+ Because the ultimate disposition of the call attempt will be a
+ 600-class response, the network element conveying the announcement in
+ the legacy direction MUST use the 183 Session Progress response to
+ establish the media session. Because of the small chance the UAC is
+ an extremely old legacy device and is using UDP, the UAC MUST include
+ support for 100rel [RFC3262] in its INVITE, the network element
+ conveying the announcement MUST Require 100rel in the 183, and the
+ UAC MUST issue a Provisional Response ACKnowledgement (PRACK) to
+ which the network element MUST respond 200 OK PRACK.
+
+3.5. Announcement Requirements
+
+ There are a few requirements on the element that handles the
+ announcement for legacy interoperation.
+
+ As noted above, the element that inserts the sip.608 feature
+ capability is responsible for conveying the information referenced by
+ the Call-Info header field in the 608 response message. However,
+ this specification does not mandate how to convey that information.
+
+ Let us take the case where a telecommunications service provider
+ controls the element inserting the sip.608 feature capability. It
+ would be reasonable to expect the service provider would play an
+ announcement in the media path towards the UAC (caller). It is
+ important to note the network element should be mindful of the media
+ type requested by the UAC as it formulates the announcement. For
+ example, it would make sense for an INVITE that only indicated audio
+ codecs in the Session Description Protocol (SDP) [RFC4566] to result
+ in an audio announcement. Likewise, if the INVITE only indicated
+ real-time text [RFC4103] and the network element can render the
+ information in the requested media format, the network element should
+ send the information in a text format.
+
+ It is also possible for the network element inserting the sip.608
+ feature capability to be under the control of the same entity that
+ controls the UAC. For example, a large call center might have legacy
+ UACs, but have a modern outbound calling proxy that understands the
+ full semantics of the 608 response code. In this case, it is enough
+ for the outbound calling proxy to digest the Call-Info information
+ and handle the information digitally rather than "transcoding" the
+ Call-Info information for presentation to the caller.
+
+4. Examples
+
+ These examples are not normative, do not include all protocol
+ elements, and may have errors. Review the protocol documents for
+ actual syntax and semantics of the protocol elements.
+

+
+ With this jCard, we can now construct the JWT:
+
+ {
+ "iat":1546008698,
+ "jcard":["vcard",
+ [
+ ["version", {}, "text", "4.0"],
+ ["fn", {}, "text", "Robocall Adjudication"],
+ ["email", {"type":"work"},
+ "text", "remediation@blocker.example.net"]
+ ]
+ ]
+ }
+
+ To calculate the signature, we need to encode the JSON Object Signing
+ and Encryption (JOSE) header and JWT into base64url. As an
+ implementation note, one can trim whitespace in the JSON objects to
+ save a few bytes. UACs MUST be prepared to receive pretty-printed,
+ compact, or bizarrely formatted JSON. For the purposes of this
+ example, we leave the objects with pretty whitespace. Speaking of
+ pretty vs. machine formatting, these examples have line breaks in the
+ base64url encodings for ease of publication in the RFC format. The
+ specification of base64url allows for these line breaks, and the
+ decoded text works just fine. However, those extra line-break octets
+ would affect the calculation of the signature. Implementations MUST
+ NOT insert line breaks into the base64url encodings of the JOSE
+ header or JWT. This also means UACs MUST be prepared to receive
+ arbitrarily long octet streams from the URI referenced by the Call-
+ Info header field.

+
+ For an intermediary that provides a Web site for adjudication, the
+ jCard could contain the following. Note that we do not show the
+ calculation of the JWS; the URI reference in the Call-Info header
+ field would be to the JWS of the signed jCard.
+
+ ["vcard",
+ [
+ ["version", {}, "text", "4.0"],
+ ["fn", {}, "text", "Robocall Adjudication"],
+ ["url", {"type":"work"},
+ "text", "https://blocker.example.net/adjudication-form"]
+ ]
+ ]
+
+4.3. Multi-modal jCard
+
+ For an intermediary that provides a telephone number and a postal
+ address, the jCard could contain the following. Note that we do not
+ show the calculation of the JWS; the URI reference in the Call-Info
+ header field would be to the JWS of the signed jCard.
+
+ ["vcard",
+ [
+ ["version", {}, "text", "4.0"],
+ ["fn", {}, "text", "Robocall Adjudication"],
+ ["adr", {"type":"work"}, "text",
+ ["Argument Clinic",
+ "12 Main St","Anytown","AP","000000","Somecountry"]
+ ]
+ ["tel", {"type":"work"}, "uri", "tel:+1-555-555-0112"]
+ ]
+ ]
+
+ Note that it is up to the UAC to decide which jCard contact modality,
+ if any, it will use.
+
+4.4. Legacy Interoperability
+
+ Figure 5 depicts a call flow illustrating legacy interoperability.
+ In this non-normative example, we see a UAC that does not support the
+ full semantics for 608. However, there is an SBC that does support
+ 608. Per [RFC6809], the SBC can insert "*;+sip.608" into the
+ Feature-Caps header field for the INVITE. When the intermediary,
+ labeled "Called Party Proxy" in the figure, rejects the call, it
+ knows it can simply perform the processing described in this
+ document. Since the intermediary saw the sip.608 feature capability,
+ it knows it does not need to send any media describing whom to
+ contact in the event of an erroneous rejection. For illustrative
+ purposes, the figure shows generic SIP Proxies in the flow. Their
+ presence or absence or the number of proxies is not relevant to the
+ operation of the protocol. They are in the figure to show that
+ proxies that do not understand the sip.608 feature capability can
+ still participate in a network offering 608 services.

+
+ Figure 5: Legacy Operation
+
+ When the SBC receives the 608 response code, it correlates that with
+ the original INVITE from the UAC. The SBC remembers that it inserted
+ the sip.608 feature capability, which means it is responsible for
+ somehow alerting the UAC the call failed and disclosing whom to
+ contact. At this point, the SBC can play a prompt, either natively
+ or through a mechanism such as NETANN [RFC4240], that sends the
+ relevant information in the appropriate media to the UAC. Since this
+ is a potentially long transaction and there is a chance the UAC is
+ using an unreliable transport protocol, the UAC will have indicated
+ support for provisional responses, the SBC will indicate it requires
+ a PRACK from the UAC in the 183 response, the UAC will provide the
+ PRACK, and the SBC will acknowledge receipt of the PRACK before
+ playing the announcement.
+
+ As an example, the SBC could extract the FN and TEL jCard fields and
+ play something like a special information tone (see Section 6.21.2.1
+ of Telcordia [SR-2275] or Section 7 of ITU-T E.180 [ITU.E.180.1998]),
+ followed by "Your call has been rejected by...", followed by a text-
+ to-speech translation of the FN text, followed by "You can reach them
+ on...", followed by a text-to-speech translation of the telephone
+ number in the TEL field.
+
+ Note that the SBC also still sends the full 608 response code,
+ including the Call-Info header field, towards the UAC.
+
+5. IANA Considerations
+
+5.1. SIP Response Code
+
+ This document defines a new SIP response code, 608, in the "Response
+ Codes" subregistry of the "Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
+ Parameters" registry defined in [RFC3261].
+
+ Response code: 608
+ Description: Rejected
+ Reference: RFC 8688
+
+5.2. SIP Feature-Capability Indicator
+
+ This document defines the feature capability, sip.608, in the "SIP
+ Feature-Capability Indicator Registration Tree" registry defined in
+ [RFC6809].
+
+ Name: sip.608
+ Description: This feature-capability indicator, when included in a
+ Feature-Caps header field of an INVITE request,
+ indicates that the entity associated with the indicator
+ will be responsible for indicating to the caller any
+ information contained in the 608 SIP response code,
+ specifically, the value referenced by the Call-Info
+ header field.
+ Reference: RFC 8688
+
+5.3. JSON Web Token Claim
+
+ This document defines the new JSON Web Token claim in the "JSON Web
+ Token Claims" subregistry created by [RFC7519]. Section 3.2.2
+ defines the syntax. The required information is:
+
+ Claim Name: jcard
+ Claim Description: jCard data
+ Change Controller: IESG
+ Reference: RFC 8688, [RFC7095]
+
+5.4. Call-Info Purpose
+
+ This document defines the new predefined value "jwscard" for the
+ "purpose" header field parameter of the Call-Info header field. This
+ modifies the "Header Field Parameters and Parameter Values"
+ subregistry of the "Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Parameters"
+ registry by adding this RFC as a reference to the line for the header
+ field "Call-Info" and parameter name "purpose":
+
+ Header Field: Call-Info
+ Parameter Name: purpose
+ Predefined Values: Yes
+ Reference: RFC 8688
+
+6. Security Considerations
+
+ Intermediary operators need to be mindful to whom they are sending
+ the 608 response. The intermediary could be rejecting a truly
+ malicious caller. This raises two issues. The first is the caller,
+ now alerted that an intermediary is automatically rejecting their
+ call attempts, may change their call behavior to defeat call-blocking
+ systems. The second, and more significant risk, is that by providing
+ a contact in the Call-Info header field, the intermediary may be
+ giving the malicious caller a vector for attack. In other words, the
+ intermediary will be publishing an address that a malicious actor may
+ use to launch an attack on the intermediary. Because of this,
+ intermediary operators may wish to configure their response to only
+ include a Call-Info header field for INVITE, or other signed
+ initiating methods, that pass validation by STIR [RFC8224].
+
+ Another risk is as follows. Consider an attacker that floods a proxy
+ that supports the sip.608 feature. However, the SDP in the INVITE
+ request refers to a victim device. Moreover, the attacker somehow
+ knows there is a 608-aware gateway connecting to the victim who is on
+ a segment that lacks the sip.608 feature capability. Because the
+ mechanism described here can result in sending an audio file to the
+ target of the SDP, an attacker could use the mechanism described by
+ this document as an amplification attack, given a SIP INVITE can be
+ under 1 kilobyte and an audio file can be hundreds of kilobytes. One
+ remediation for this is for devices that insert a sip.608 feature
+ capability to only transmit media to what is highly likely to be the
+ actual source of the call attempt. A method for this is to only play
+ media in response to a STIR-signed INVITE that passes validation.
+ Beyond requiring a valid STIR signature on the INVITE, the
+ intermediary can also use remediation procedures such as doing the
+ connectivity checks specified by Interactive Connectivity
+ Establishment [RFC8445]. If the target did not request the media,
+ the check will fail.
+
+ Yet another risk is a malicious intermediary that generates a
+ malicious 608 response with a jCard referring to a malicious agent.
+ For example, the recipient of a 608 may receive a TEL URI in the
+ vCard. When the recipient calls that address, the malicious agent
+ could ask for personally identifying information. However, instead
+ of using that information to verify the recipient's identity, they
+ are phishing the information for nefarious ends. A similar scenario
+ can unfold if the malicious agent inserts a URI that points to a
+ phishing or other site. As such, we strongly recommend the recipient
+ validates to whom they are communicating with if asking to adjudicate
+ an erroneously rejected call attempt. Since we may also be concerned
+ about intermediate nodes modifying contact information, we can
+ address both issues with a single solution. The remediation is to
+ require the intermediary to sign the jCard. Signing the jCard
+ provides integrity protection. In addition, one can imagine
+ mechanisms such as used by [SHAKEN].
+
+ Similarly, one can imagine an adverse agent that maliciously spoofs a
+ 608 response with a victim's contact address to many active callers
+ who may then all send redress requests to the specified address (the
+ basis for a denial-of-service attack). The process would occur as
+ follows: (1) a malicious agent senses INVITE requests from a variety
+ of UACs and (2) spoofs 608 responses with an unsigned redress address
+ before the intended receivers can respond, causing (3) the UACs to
+ all contact the redress address at once. The jCard encoding allows
+ the UAC to verify the blocking intermediary's identity before
+ contacting the redress address. Specifically, because the sender
+ signs the jCard, we can cryptographically trace the sender of the
+ jCard. Given the protocol machinery of having a signature, one can
+ apply local policy to decide whether to believe that the sender of
+ the jCard represents the owner of the contact information found in
+ the jCard. This guards against a malicious agent spoofing 608
+ responses.
+
+ Specifically, one could use policies around signing certificate
+ issuance as a mechanism for traceback to the entity issuing the
+ jCard. One check could be verifying that the identity of the subject
+ of the certificate relates to the To header field of the initial SIP
+ request, similar to validating that the intermediary was vouching for
+ the From header field of a SIP request with that identity. Note that
+ we are only protecting against a malicious intermediary and not a
+ hidden intermediary attack (formerly known as a "man-in-the-middle
+ attack"). Thus, we only need to ensure the signature is fresh, which
+ is why we include "iat". For most implementations, we assume that
+ the intermediary has a single set of contact points and will generate
+ the jCard on demand. As such, there is no need to directly correlate
+ HTTPS fetches to specific calls. However, since the intermediary is
+ in control of the jCard and Call-Info response, an intermediary may
+ choose to encode per-call information in the URI returned in a given
+ 608 response. However, if the intermediary does go that route, the
+ intermediary MUST use a non-deterministic URI reference mechanism and
+ be prepared to return dummy responses to URI requests referencing
+ calls that do not exist so that attackers attempting to glean call
+ metadata by guessing URIs (and thus calls) will not get any
+ actionable information from the HTTPS GET.
+
+ Since the decision of whether to include Call-Info in the 608
+ response is a matter of policy, one thing to consider is whether a
+ legitimate caller can ascertain whom to contact without including
+ such information in the 608. For example, in some jurisdictions, if
+ only the terminating service provider can be the intermediary, the
+ caller can look up who the terminating service provider is based on
+ the routing information for the dialed number. Thus, the Call-Info
+ jCard could be redundant information. However, the factors going
+ into a particular service provider's or jurisdiction's choice of
+ whether to include Call-Info is outside the scope of this document.
