1.  Introduction

   OAuth 2.0 Token Introspection [RFC7662] specifies a method for a
   protected resource to query an OAuth 2.0 authorization server to
   determine the state of an access token and obtain data associated
   with the access token.  This enables deployments to implement opaque
   access tokens in an interoperable way.

   The introspection response, as specified in OAuth 2.0 Token
   Introspection [RFC7662], is a plain JSON object.  However, there are
   use cases where the resource server requires stronger assurance that
   the authorization server issued the token introspection response for
   an access token, including cases where the authorization server
   assumes liability for the content of the token introspection
   response.  An example is a resource server using verified person data
   to create certificates, which in turn are used to create qualified
   electronic signatures.

Internet-Draft                JWT Response                September 2021


   In such use cases it may be useful or even required to return a
   signed JWT [RFC7519] as the introspection response.  This
   specification extends the token introspection endpoint with the
   capability to return responses as JWTs.

2.  Requirements Notation and Conventions

   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.  Resource Server Management

   The authorization server (AS) and the resource server (RS) maintain a
   strong two-way trust relationship.  The resource server relies on the
   authorization server to obtain authorization, user and other data as
   input to its access control decisions and service delivery.  The
   authorization server relies on the resource server to handle the
   provided data appropriately.

   In the context of this specification, the token introspection
   endpoint is used to convey such security data and potentially also
   privacy sensitive data related to an access token.

   In order to process the introspection requests in a secure and
   privacy-preserving manner, the authorization server MUST be able to
   identify, authenticate and authorize resource servers.

   The authorization server MAY additionally encrypt the token
   introspection response JWTs.  If encryption is used the authorization
   server is provisioned with encryption keys and algorithms for the RS.

   The authorization server MUST be able to determine whether an RS is
   the audience for a particular access token and what data it is
   entitled to receive, otherwise the RS is not authorized to obtain
   data for the access token.  The AS has the discretion how to fulfil
   this requirement.  The AS could, for example, maintain a mapping
   between scope values and resource servers.

   The requirements given above imply that the authorization server
   maintains credentials and other configuration data for each RS.

   One way is by utilizing dynamic client registration [RFC7591] and
   treating every RS as an OAuth client.  In this case, the
   authorization server is assumed to at least maintain a "client_id"
   and a "token_endpoint_auth_method" with complementary authentication

   method metadata, such as "jwks" or "client_secret".  In cases where
   the AS needs to acquire consent to transmit data to a RS, the
   following client metadata fields are recommended: "client_name",
   "client_uri", "contacts", "tos_uri", "policy_uri".

   The AS MUST restrict the use of client credentials by a RS to the
   calls it requires, e.g. the AS MAY restrict such a client to call the
   token introspection endpoint only.  How the AS implements this
   restriction is beyond the scope of this specification.

   This specification further introduces client metadata to manage the
   configuration options required to sign and encrypt token
   introspection response JWTs.

4.  Requesting a JWT Response

   A resource server requests a JWT introspection response by sending an
   introspection request with an "Accept" HTTP header field set to
   "application/token-introspection+jwt".

   The AS MUST authenticate the caller at the token introspection
   endpoint.  Authentication can utilize client authentication methods
   or a separate access token issued to the resource server and
   identifying it as subject.

   The following is a non-normative example request, with the resource
   server authenticating with a private key JWT:

   POST /introspect HTTP/1.1
   Host: as.example.com
   Accept: application/token-introspection+jwt
   Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

   token=2YotnFZFEjr1zCsicMWpAA&
   client_assertion_type=
    urn%3Aietf%3Aparams%3Aoauth%3Aclient-assertion-type%3Ajwt-bearer&
   client_assertion=PHNhbWxwOl[...omitted for brevity...]ZT

5.  JWT Response

   The introspection endpoint responds with a JWT, setting the "Content-
   Type" HTTP header field to "application/token-introspection+jwt" and
   the JWT "typ" ("type") header parameter to "token-introspection+jwt".

   The JWT MUST include the following top-level claims:

   iss     MUST be set to the issuer URL of the authorization server.

Internet-Draft                JWT Response                September 2021


   aud     MUST identify the resource server receiving the token
           introspection response.

   iat     MUST be set to the time when the introspection response was
           created by the authorization server.

   token_introspection  A JSON object containing the members of the
           token introspection response as specified in [RFC7662],
           section 2.2.  The separation of the introspection response
           members into a dedicated containing JWT claim is intended to
           prevent conflict and confusion with top-level JWT claims that
           may bear the same name.

           If the access token is invalid, expired, revoked, or not
           intended for the calling resource server (audience), the
           authorization server MUST set the value of the "active"
           member in the "token_introspection" claim to "false" and MUST
           NOT include other members.  Otherwise, the "active" member is
           set to "true".

           The AS SHOULD narrow down the "scope" value to the scopes
           relevant to the particular RS.

           As specified in section 2.2 of [RFC7662], implementations MAY
           extend the token introspection response with service-specific
           claims.  In the context of this specification, such claims
           will be added as top-level members of the
           "token_introspection" claim.

           Token introspection response parameter names intended to be
           used across domains MUST be registered in the OAuth Token
           Introspection Response registry
           [IANA.OAuth.Token.Introspection] defined by [RFC7662].

           When the AS acts as a provider of resource owner identity
           claims to the RS, the AS determines based on its RS-specific
           policy what identity claims to return in the token
           introspection response.  The AS MUST ensure the release of
           any privacy-sensitive data is legally based (see Section 9).

           Further content of the introspection response is determined
           by the RS-specific policy at the AS.

   The JWT MAY include other claims, including those from the "JSON Web
   Token Claims" registry established by [RFC7519].  The JWT SHOULD NOT
   include the "sub" and "exp" claims, as an additional prevention
   against misuse of the JWT as an access token (see Section 8.1).

Internet-Draft                JWT Response                September 2021


   Note: Although the JWT format is widely used as an access token
   format, the JWT returned in the introspection response is not an
   alternative representation of the introspected access token and is
   not intended to be used as an access token.

   This specification registers the "application/token-
   introspection+jwt" media type, which is used as value of the "typ"
   ("type") header parameter of the JWT to indicate that the payload is
   a token introspection response.

   The JWT is cryptographically secured as specified in [RFC7519].

   Depending on the specific resource server policy the JWT is either
   signed, or signed and encrypted.  If the JWT is signed and encrypted
   it MUST be a Nested JWT, as defined in JWT [RFC7519].

   Note: An AS compliant with this specification MUST refuse to serve
   introspection requests that don't authenticate the caller, and return
   an HTTP status code 400.  This is done to ensure token data is
   released to legitimate recipients only and prevent downgrading to
   [RFC7662] behavior (see Section 8.2).

   The following is a non-normative example response (with line breaks
   for display purposes only):

   HTTP/1.1 200 OK

   {
     "typ": "token-introspection+jwt",
     "alg": "RS256",
     "kid": "wG6D"
   }

   The example response JWT payload contains the following JSON
   document:

   {
     "iss":"https://as.example.com/",
     "aud":"https://rs.example.com/resource",
     "iat":1514797892,

           "jti":"t1FoCCaZd4Xv4ORJUWVUeTZfsKhW30CQCrWDDjwXy6w"
        }
   }

6.  Client Metadata

   The authorization server determines the algorithm to secure the JWT
   for a particular introspection response.  This decision can be based
   on registered metadata parameters for the resource server, supplied
   via dynamic client registration [RFC7591] with the resource server
   acting as a client, as specified below.

   The parameter names follow the pattern established by OpenID Connect
   Dynamic Client Registration [OpenID.Registration] for configuring
   signing and encryption algorithms for JWT responses at the UserInfo
   endpoint.

   The following client metadata parameters are introduced by this
   specification:

   introspection_signed_response_alg  OPTIONAL.  JWS [RFC7515] algorithm




Lodderstedt & Dzhuvinov   Expires 8 March 2022                  [Page 7]

Internet-Draft                JWT Response                September 2021


           ("alg" value) as defined in JWA [RFC7518] for signing
           introspection responses.  If this is specified, the response
           will be signed using JWS and the configured algorithm.  The
           default, if omitted, is "RS256".

   introspection_encrypted_response_alg  OPTIONAL.  JWE [RFC7516]
           algorithm ("alg" value) as defined in JWA [RFC7518] for
           content key encryption.  If this is specified, the response
           will be encrypted using JWE and the configured content
           encryption algorithm
           ("introspection_encrypted_response_enc").  The default, if
           omitted, is that no encryption is performed.  If both signing
           and encryption are requested, the response will be signed
           then encrypted, with the result being a Nested JWT, as
           defined in JWT [RFC7519].

   introspection_encrypted_response_enc  OPTIONAL.  JWE [RFC7516]
           algorithm ("enc" value) as defined in JWA [RFC7518] for
           content encryption of introspection responses.  The default,
           if omitted, is "A128CBC-HS256".  Note: This parameter MUST
           NOT be specified without setting
           "introspection_encrypted_response_alg".

   Resource servers may register their public encryption keys using the
   "jwks_uri" or "jwks" metadata parameters.

7.  Authorization Server Metadata

   Authorization servers SHOULD publish the supported algorithms for
   signing and encrypting the JWT of an introspection response by
   utilizing OAuth 2.0 Authorization Server Metadata [RFC8414]
   parameters.  Resource servers use this data to parametrize their
   client registration requests.

   The following parameters are introduced by this specification:

   introspection_signing_alg_values_supported  OPTIONAL.  JSON array
           containing a list of the JWS [RFC7515] signing algorithms
           ("alg" values) as defined in JWA [RFC7518] supported by the
           introspection endpoint to sign the response.

   introspection_encryption_alg_values_supported  OPTIONAL.  JSON array
           containing a list of the JWE [RFC7516] encryption algorithms
           ("alg" values) as defined in JWA [RFC7518] supported by the
           introspection endpoint to encrypt the content encryption key
           for introspection responses (content key encryption).

   introspection_encryption_enc_values_supported  OPTIONAL.  JSON array

           containing a list of the JWE [RFC7516] encryption algorithms
           ("enc" values) as defined in JWA [RFC7518] supported by the
           introspection endpoint to encrypt the response (content
           encryption).

8.  Security Considerations

8.1.  Cross-JWT Confusion

   The "iss" and potentially the "aud" claim of a token introspection
   JWT can resemble those of a JWT-encoded access token.  An attacker
   could try to exploit this and pass a JWT token introspection response
   as an access token to the resource server.  The "typ" ("type") JWT
   header "token-introspection+jwt" and the encapsulation of the token
   introspection members such as "sub" and "scope" in the
   "token_introspection" claim is intended to prevent such substitution
   attacks.  Resource servers MUST therefore check the "typ" JWT header
   value of received JWT-encoded access tokens and ensure all minimally
   required claims for a valid access token are present.

   Resource servers MUST additionally apply the countermeasures against
   replay as described in [I-D.ietf-oauth-security-topics], section 3.2.

   JWT Confusion and other attacks involving JWTs are discussed in
   [I-D.ietf-oauth-jwt-bcp].

8.2.  Token Data Leakage

   The authorization server MUST use Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.2
   (or higher) per BCP 195 [RFC7525] in order to prevent token data
   leakage.

   Section 2.1 of [RFC7662] permits requests to the introspection
   endpoint to be authorized with an access token which doesn't identify
   the caller.  To prevent introspection of tokens by parties that are
   not the intended consumer the authorization server MUST require all
   requests to the token introspection endpoint to be authenticated.

9.  Privacy Considerations

   The token introspection response can be used to transfer personal
   identifiable information (PII) from the AS to the RS.  The AS MUST
   conform to legal and jurisdictional constraints for the data transfer
   before any data is released to a particular RS.  The details and
   determining of these constraints varies by jurisdiction and is
   outside the scope of this document.

Internet-Draft                JWT Response                September 2021


   A commonly found way to establish the legal basis for releasing PII
   is by explicit user consent gathered from the resource owner by the
   AS during the authorization flow.

   It is also possible that the legal basis is established out of band,
   for example in an explicit contract or by the client gathering the
   resource owner's consent.

   If the AS and the RS belong to the same legal entity (1st party
   scenario), there is potentially no need for an explicit user consent
   but the terms of service and policy of the respective service
   provider MUST be enforced at all times.

   In any case, the AS MUST ensure that the scope of the legal basis is
   enforced throughout the whole process.  The AS MUST retain the scope
   of the legal basis with the access token, e.g. in the scope value, it
   MUST authenticate the RS, and the AS MUST determine the data a
   resource server is allowed to receive based on the resource server's
   identity and suitable token data, e.g. the scope value.

   Implementers should be aware that a token introspection request lets
   the AS know when the client (and potentially the user) is accessing
   the RS, which is also an indication of when the user is using the
   client.  If this implication is not acceptable, implementers MUST use
   other means to relay access token data, for example by directly
   transferring the data needed by the RS within the access token.
