+
+1. Introduction
+
+ The STIR problem statement [RFC7340] reviews the difficulties facing
+ the telephone network that are enabled by impersonation, including
+ various forms of robocalling, voicemail hacking, and swatting
+ [RFC7375]. One of the most important components of a system to
+ prevent impersonation is the implementation of credentials that
+ identify the parties who control telephone numbers. The STIR
+ certificate specification [RFC8226] describes a credential system
+ based on version 3 certificates [X.509] in accordance with [RFC5280]
+ for that purpose. Those credentials can then be used by STIR
+ authentication services [RFC8224] to sign PASSporT objects [RFC8225]
+ carried in SIP [RFC3261] requests.
+
+ [RFC8226] specifies an extension to X.509 that defines a Telephony
+ Number (TN) Authorization List that may be included by certification
+ authorities (CAs) in certificates. This extension provides
+ additional information that relying parties can use when validating
+ transactions with the certificate. When a SIP request, for example,
+ arrives at a terminating administrative domain, the calling number
+ attested by the SIP request can be compared to the TN Authorization
+ List of the certificate that signed the PASSporT to determine if the
+ caller is authorized to use that calling number.
+
+ Initial deployment of [RFC8226] has focused on the use of Service
+ Provider Codes (SPCs) to attest to the scope of authority of a
+ certificate. Typically, these codes are internal telephone network
+ identifiers such as the Operating Company Numbers (OCNs) assigned to
+ carriers in the United States. However, these network identifiers
+ are effectively unavailable to non-carrier entities, and this has
+ raised questions about how such entities might best participate in
+ STIR when needed. Additionally, a carrier may sometimes operate
+ numbers that are formally assigned to another carrier. [RFC8226]
+ gives an overview of a certificate enrollment model based on
+ "delegation", whereby the holder of a certificate might allocate a
+ subset of that certificate's authority to another party. This
+ specification details how delegation of authority works for STIR
+ certificates.
+
+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.
+
+ This specification also uses the following terms:
+
+ delegation: The concept of STIR certificate delegation and its terms
+ are defined in [RFC8226].
+
+ legitimate spoofing: The practice of selecting an alternative
+ presentation number for a telephone caller legitimately.
+
+3. Motivation
+
+ The most pressing need for delegation in STIR arises in a set of use
+ cases where callers want to use a particular calling number, but for
+ whatever reason, their outbound calls will not pass through the
+ authentication service of the service provider that controls that
+ numbering resource.
+
+ One example would be an enterprise that places outbound calls through
+ a set of service providers; for each call, a provider is chosen based
+ on a least-cost routing algorithm or similar local policy. The
+ enterprise was assigned a calling number by a particular service
+ provider, but some calls originating from that number will go out
+ through other service providers.
+
+ A user might also roam from their usual service provider to a
+ different network or administrative domain for various reasons. Most
+ "legitimate spoofing" examples are of this form, where a user wants
+ to be able to use the main callback number for their business as a
+ calling party number, even when the user is away from the business.
+
+ These sorts of use cases could be addressed if the carrier who
+ controls the numbering resource were able to delegate a credential
+ that could be used to sign calls regardless of which network or
+ administrative domain handles the outbound routing for the call. In
+ the absence of something like a delegation mechanism, outbound
+ carriers may be forced to sign calls with credentials that do not
+ cover the originating number in question. Unfortunately, that
+ practice would be difficult to distinguish from malicious spoofing,
+ and if it becomes widespread, it could erode trust in STIR overall.
+
+4. Delegation of STIR Certificates
+
+ STIR delegate certificates are certificates containing a TNAuthList
+ object that have been signed with the private key of a parent
+ certificate that itself contains a TNAuthList object (either by value
+ or by reference; see Section 4.1). The parent certificate needs to
+ contain a basic constraints extension with the cA boolean set to
+ "true" [RFC5280], indicating that the subject can sign certificates.
+ Every STIR delegate certificate identifies its parent certificate
+ with a standard Authority Key Identifier extension [RFC5280].
+
+ The authority bestowed on the holder of the delegate certificate by
+ the parent certificate is recorded in the delegate certificate's
+ TNAuthList. Because STIR certificates use the TNAuthList object
+ rather than the Subject Name for indicating the scope of their
+ authority, traditional name constraints [RFC5280] are not directly
+ applicable to STIR. In a manner similar to the Resource Public Key
+ Infrastructure (RPKI) [RFC6480] "encompassing" semantics, each
+ delegate certificate MUST have a TNAuthList scope that is equal to or
+ a subset of its parent certificate's scope: it must be "encompassed".
+ For example, a parent certificate with a TNAuthList that attested
+ authority for the numbering range +1-212-555-1000 through 1999 could
+ issue a certificate to one delegate attesting authority for the range
+ +1-212-555-1500 through 1599 and, to another delegate, a certificate
+ for the individual number +1-212-555-1824.
+
+ Delegate certificates MAY also contain a basic constraints extension
+ with the cA boolean set to "true", indicating that they can sign
+ subordinate certificates for further delegates. As only end-entity
+ certificates can actually sign PASSporTs, the holder of a STIR
+ certificate with a "true" cA boolean may create a separate end-entity
+ certificate with either an identical TNAuthList to its parent or a
+ subset of the parent's authority, which would be used to sign
+ PASSporTs.
+
+4.1. Scope of Delegation
+
+ The TNAuthList of a STIR certificate may contain one or more SPCs,
+ one or more telephone number ranges, or even a mix of SPCs and
+ telephone number ranges. When delegating from a STIR certificate, a
+ child certificate may inherit from its parent either or both of the
+ above, and this specification explicitly permits SPC-only parent
+ certificates to delegate individual telephone numbers or ranges to a
+ child certificate, as this will be necessary in some operating
+ environments. Depending on the sort of numbering resources that a
+ delegate has been assigned, various syntaxes can be used to capture
+ the delegated resource.
+
+ Some non-carrier entities may be assigned large and complex
+ allocations of telephone numbers, which may be only partially
+ contiguous or entirely disparate. Allocations may also change
+ frequently in minor or significant ways. These resources may be so
+ complex, dynamic, or extensive that listing them in a certificate is
+ prohibitively difficult. Section 10.1 of [RFC8226] describes one
+ potential way to address this: including the TNAuthList (specified in
+ [RFC8226]) in the certificate by reference rather than by value,
+ where a URL in the certificate points to a secure, dynamically
+ updated list of the telephone numbers in the scope of authority of a
+ certificate. For entities that are carriers in all but name, another
+ alternative is the allocation of an SPC; this yields much the same
+ property, as the SPC is effectively a pointer to an external database
+ that dynamically tracks the numbers associated with the SPC. Either
+ of these approaches may make sense for a given deployment.
+ Certification path construction as detailed below treats by-reference
+ TNAuthLists in a certificate as if they had been included by value.
+
+ Other non-carrier entities may have straightforward telephone number
+ assignments, such as enterprises receiving a set of a thousand blocks
+ from a carrier that may be kept for years or decades. Particular
+ freephone numbers may also have a long-term association with an
+ enterprise and its brand. For these sorts of assignments, assigning
+ an SPC may seem like overkill, and using the TN ranges of the
+ TNAuthList (by value) is sufficient.
+
+ Whichever approach is taken to represent the delegated resource,
+ there are fundamental trade-offs regarding when and where in the
+ architecture a delegation is validated -- that is, when the delegated
+ TNAuthList is checked and determined to be "encompassed" by the
+ TNAuthList of its parent. This might be performed at the time the
+ delegate certificate is issued, at the time that a verification
+ service receives an inbound call, or potentially both. It is
+ generally desirable to offload as much of this as possible to the
+ certification process as verification occurs during call setup; thus,
+ additional network dips could lead to perceptible delay, whereas
+ certification happens outside of call processing as a largely
+ administrative function. Ideally, if a delegate certificate can
+ supply a by-value TN range, then a verification service could
+ ascertain that an attested calling party number is within the scope
+ of the provided certificate without requiring any additional
+ transactions with a service. In practice, verification services may
+ already incorporate network queries into their processing (for
+ example, to dereference the "x5u" field of a PASSporT) that could
+ piggyback any additional information needed by the verification
+ service.
+
+ Note that the permission semantics of the TNAuthList [RFC8226] are
+ additive: that is, the scope of a certificate is the superset of all
+ of the SPCs and telephone number ranges enumerated in the TNAuthList.
+ As SPCs themselves are effectively pointers to a set of telephone
+ number ranges, and a telephone number may belong to more than one
+ SPC, this may introduce some redundancy to the set of telephone
+ numbers specified as the scope of a certificate. The presence of one
+ or more SPCs and one or more sets of telephone number ranges are
+ similarly treated additively, even if the telephone number ranges
+ turn out to be redundant to the scope of an SPC.
+
+5. Authentication Service Signing with Delegate Certificates
+
+ Authentication service behavior varies from [RFC8224] as follows,
+ although the same checks are performed by the authentication service
+ when comparing the calling party number attested in call signaling
+ with the scope of the authority of the signing certificate.
+ Authentication services SHOULD NOT use a delegate certificate without
+ validating that its scope of authority is encompassed by that of its
+ parent certificate, and if that certificate has its own parent, the
+ entire certification path SHOULD be validated.
+
+ This delegation architecture does not require that a non-carrier
+ entity act as its own authentication service. That function may be
+ performed by any authentication service that holds the private key
+ corresponding to the delegate certificate, including one run by an
+ outbound service provider, a third party in an enterprise's outbound
+ call path, or in the SIP User Agent itself.
+
+ Note that authentication services creating a PASSporT for a call
+ signed with a delegate certificate MUST provide an "x5u" link
+ corresponding to the entire certification path rather than just the
+ delegate certificate used to sign the call, as described in
+ Section 7.
+
+6. Verification Service Behavior for Delegate Certificate Signatures
+
+ The responsibility of a verification service validating PASSporTs
+ signed with delegate certificates, while largely following baseline
+ specifications [RFC8224] and [RFC8225], requires some additional
+ procedures. When the verification service dereferences the "x5u"
+ parameter, it will acquire a certificate list rather than a single
+ certificate. It MUST then validate all of the credentials in the
+ list, identifying the parent certificate for each delegate through
+ its Authority Key Identifier extension.
+
+ While relying parties ordinarily have significant latitude in
+ certification path construction when validating a certification path,
+ STIR assumes a more rigid hierarchical subordination model rather
+ than one where relying parties may want to derive their own
+ certification path to particular trust anchors. If the certificates
+ acquired from the "x5u" element of a PASSporT do not lead to an
+ anchor that the verification service trusts, it treats the validation
+ no differently than it would when a non-delegated certificate was
+ issued by an untrusted root; in SIP, it MAY return a 437 "Unsupported
+ Credential" response if the call should be failed for lack of a valid
+ Identity header.
+
+7. Acquiring Multiple Certificates in STIR
+
+ PASSporT [RFC8225] uses the "x5u" element to convey the URL where
+ verification services can acquire the certificate used to sign a
+ PASSporT. This value is mirrored by the "info" parameter of the
+ Identity header when a PASSporT is conveyed via SIP. Commonly, this
+ is an HTTPS URI.
+
+ When a STIR delegate certificate is used to sign a PASSporT, the
+ "x5u" element in the PASSporT will contain a URI indicating where a
+ certificate list is available. While the baseline JSON Web Signature
+ (JWS) also supports an "x5c" element specifically for certificate
+ chains, in operational practice, certification paths are already
+ being delivered in the STIR environment via the "x5u" element, so
+ this specification RECOMMENDS that implementations continue to use
+ "x5u". "x5c" is OPTIONAL for environments where it is known to be
+ supported. That list will be a concatenation of certificates encoded
+ with Privacy Enhanced Mail (PEM) of the type "application/pem-
+ certificate-chain" defined in [RFC8555]. The certificate path
+ [RFC5280] ordering MUST be ordered from the signer to the trust
+ anchor. The list begins with the certificate used to sign the
+ PASSporT, followed by its parent, and then any subsequent
+ grandparents, great-grandparents, and so on. The key identifier in
+ the Authority Key Identifier extension in the first certificate MUST
+ appear in the Subject Key Identifier extension in the second
+ certificate. The key identifier pairing MUST match in this way
+ throughout the entire chain of certificates. Note that Automatic
+ Certificate Management Environment (ACME) [RFC8555] requires the
+ first element in a pem-certificate-chain to be an end-entity
+ certificate.
+
+8. Certification Authorities and Service Providers
+
+ Once a telephone service provider has received a CA certificate
+ attesting to their numbering resources, they may delegate resources
+ from it as they see fit. Note that the allocation to a service
+ provider of a certificate with a basic constraints extension with the
+ cA boolean set to "true" does not require that a service provider act
+ as a certification authority itself; serving as a certification
+ authority is a function requiring specialized expertise and
+ infrastructure. Certification authorities are, for example,
+ responsible for maintaining certificate revocation lists and related
+ functions as well as publishing certification practice statements. A
+ third-party certification authority, including the same one that
+ issued the service provider its parent certificate, could act as the
+ CA that issues delegate certificates for the service provider if the
+ necessary business relationships permit it. A service provider might
+ in this case act as a Token Authority (see Section 8.1) granting its
+ customers permissions to receive certificates from the CA.
+
+ Note that if the same CA that issued the parent certificate is also
+ issuing a delegate certificate, it may be possible to shorten the
+ certification path, which reduces the work required of verification
+ services. The trade-off here is that if the CA simply issued a non-
+ delegate certificate (whose parent is the CA's trust anchor) with the
+ proper TNAuthList value, relying parties might not be able to
+ ascertain which service provider owned those telephone numbers,
+ information that might be used to make an authorization decision on
+ the terminating side. However, some additional object in the
+ certificate outside of the TNAuthList could preserve that
+ information; this is a potential area for future work, and longer
+ certification paths are the only mechanism currently defined.
+
+ All CAs must detail in their practices and policies a requirement to
+ validate that the "encompassing" of a delegate certificate is done by
+ its parent. Note that this requires that CAs have access to the
+ necessary industry databases to ascertain whether, for example, a
+ particular telephone number is encompassed by an SPC. Alternatively,
+ a CA may acquire an Authority Token (see Section 8.1) that affirms
+ that a delegation is in the proper scope. Exactly what operational
+ practices this entails may vary in different national telephone
+ administrations and are thus left to the Certificate Policy /
+ Certification Practice Statement (CP/CPS) [RFC3647].
+
+8.1. ACME and Delegation
+
+ STIR deployments commonly use ACME [RFC8555] for certificate
+ acquisition, and it is anticipated that delegate certificates will
+ also be acquired through an ACME interface. An entity can acquire a
+ certificate from a particular CA by requesting an Authority Token
+ [ACME-CHAL] from the parent with the desired TNAuthList [ACME-TOKEN]
+ object. Note that if the client intends to do further subdelegation
+ of its own, it should request a token with the "ca" Authority Token
+ flag set.
+
+ The entity then presents that Authority Token to a CA to acquire a
+ STIR delegate certificate. ACME returns an "application/pem-
+ certificate-chain" object, and that object would be suitable for
+ publication as an HTTPS resource for retrieval with the PASSporT
+ "x5u" mechanism as discussed in Section 7. If the Certificate
+ Signing Request (CSR) presented to the ACME server is for a
+ certificate with the cA boolean set to "true", then the ACME server
+ makes a policy decision to determine whether or not it is appropriate
+ to issue that certificate to the requesting entity. That policy
+ decision will be reflected by the "ca" flag in the Authority Token.
+
+ Service providers that want the capability to rapidly age out
+ delegated certificates can rely on the ACME Short-Term, Automatically
+ Renewed (STAR) [RFC8739] mechanism to automate the process of short-
+ term certificate expiry.
+
+8.2. Handling Multiple Certificates
+
+ In some deployments, non-carrier entities may receive telephone
+ numbers from several different carriers. This could lead to
+ enterprises needing to maintain a sort of STIR keyring, with
+ different certificates delegated to them from different providers.
+ These certificates are potentially issued by different CAs, which
+ enterprises choose between when signing a call. This could be the
+ case regardless of which syntax is used in the TNAuthList to
+ represent the scope of the delegation (see Section 4.1). As noted in
+ Section 8, if the parent certs use the same CA, it may be possible to
+ shorten the certification path.
+
+ For non-carrier entities handling a small number of certificates,
+ this is probably not a significant burden. For cases where it
+ becomes burdensome, a few potential approaches exist. A delegate
+ certificate could be cross-certified with another delegate
+ certificate via an Authority Information Access (AIA) field
+ containing the URL of a Certificate Authority Issuer so that a signer
+ would only need to sign with a single certificate to inherit the
+ privileges of the other certificate(s) with which it has cross-
+ certified. In very complex delegation cases, it might make more
+ sense to establish a bridge CA that cross-certifies with all of the
+ certificates held by the enterprise rather than requiring a mesh of
+ cross-certification between a large number of certificates. Again,
+ this bridge CA function would likely be performed by some existing CA
+ in the STIR ecosystem. These procedures would, however, complicate
+ the fairly straightforward certification path reconstruction approach
+ described in Section 7 and would require further specification.
+
+9. Alternative Solutions
+
+ At the time this specification was written, STIR was only starting to
+ see deployment. In some future environment, the policies that govern
+ CAs may not permit them to issue intermediate certificates with a
+ TNAuthList object and a cA boolean set to "true" in the basic
+ constraints certificate extension [RFC5280]. Similar problems in the
+ web PKI space motivated the development of TLS subcerts [TLS-CRED],
+ which substitutes a signed "delegated credential" token for a
+ certificate for such environments. A comparable mechanism could be
+ developed for the STIR space, which would allow STIR certificates to
+ sign a data object that contains effectively the same data as the
+ delegate certificate specified here, including a public key that
+ could sign PASSporTs. The TLS subcerts system has further explored
+ leveraging ACME to issue short-lived certificates for temporary
+ delegation as a means of obviating the need for revocation.
+ Specification of a mechanism similar to TLS subcerts for STIR is
+ future work and will be undertaken only if the market requires it.
+
+10. IANA Considerations
+
+ This document has no IANA actions.
+
+11. Privacy Considerations
+
+ Any STIR certificate that identifies a narrow range of telephone
+ numbers potentially exposes information about the entities that are
+ placing calls. As such a telephone number range is a necessary
+ superset of the calling party number that is openly signaled during
+ call setup, the privacy risks associated with this mechanism are not
+ substantially greater than baseline STIR. See [RFC8224] for guidance
+ on the use of anonymization mechanisms in STIR.
+
+12. Security Considerations
+
+ This document is entirely about security. As delegation can allow
+ signing-in scenarios where unauthenticated "legitimate" spoofing
+ would otherwise be used, the hope is that delegation will improve the
+ overall security of the STIR ecosystem. For further information on
+ certificate security and practices, see [RFC5280], particularly its
+ security considerations. Also see the security considerations of
+ [RFC8226] for general guidance on the implications of the use of
+ certificates in STIR and [RFC7375] for the STIR threat model.
+
+ Much of the security of delegation depends on the implementation of
+ the encompassing semantics described in Section 4. When delegating
+ from an SPC-based TNAuthList to a set of telephone number ranges,
+ understanding the encompassing semantics may require access to
+ industry databases that track the numbering assets of service
+ providers associated with a given SPC. In some operating
+ environments, such databases might not exist. How encompassing is
+ policed is therefore a matter outside the scope of this document and
+ specific to operational profiles of STIR.
+
+ The use of by-reference TNAuthLists as described in Section 4 means
+ that the TNAuthList associated with a certificate can change over
+ time; see the security considerations of [RFC3986] for more on the
+ implications of this property. It is considered a useful feature
+ here due to the potential dynamism of large lists of telephone
+ numbers, but this dynamism means that a relying party might at one
+ point accept that a particular telephone number is associated with a
+ certificate but later reject it for the same certificate as the
+ dynamic list changes. Also note that if the HTTPS service housing
+ the by-reference telephone number list is improperly secured, that
+ too can lead to vulnerabilities. Ultimately, the CA that issued a
+ delegated certificate populates the URL in the AIA field and is
+ responsible for making a secure selection. Service providers acting
+ as CAs are directed to the cautionary words about running a CA in
+ Section 8 regarding the obligations this entails for certificate
+ revocation and so on.
