Dawson/Mansour/Silverberg 1 Expires May 1998 Internet DraftiCalendar Message-based Interoperability Protocol (iMIP) October 24, 1997 1 Introduction This binding document provides the transport specific information necessary convey iCalendar Transport-independent Interoperability Protocol [ITIP] over MIME as defined in [RFC-822] and [RFC-2045]. 1.1 Related Memos Implementors will need to be familar with several other memos that, along with this memo, form a framework for Internet calendaring and scheduling standards. This document - specifies an Internet email binding for [ITIP]. [ICMS] - specifies a common terminology and abstract; [ICAL] - specifies a core specification of objects, data types, properties and property parameters; [ITIP] - specifies an interoperability protocol for scheduling between different implementations; [IRIP] - specifies an Internet real time protocol binding for [ITIP]. This memo does not attempt to repeat the specification of concepts or definitions from these other memos. Where possible, references are made to the memo that provides for the specification of these concepts or definitions. 1.2 Formatting Conventions The mechanisms defined in this memo are defined in propose. In order to refer to elements of the calendaring and scheduling model, core object or interoperability protocol defined in [ICMS], [ICAL] and [ITIP] some formatting conventions have been used. Calendaring and scheduling roles defined by [ICMS] are referred to in quoted-strings of text with the first character of each word in upper case. For example, "Organizer" refers to a role of a "Calendar User" within the scheduling protocol defined by [ITIP] Calendar components defined by [ICAL] are referred to with capitalized, quoted-strings of text. All calendar components start with the letter "V". For example, "VEVENT" refers to the event calendar component, "VTODO" refers to the to-do calendar component and "VJOURNAL" refers to the daily journal calendar component. Scheduling methods defined by [ITIP] are referred to with capitalized, quoted-strings of text. For example, "REQUEST" refers to the method for requesting a scheduling calendar component be created or modified, "REPLY" refers to the method a recipient of a request uses to update their status with the "Organizer" of the calendar component. Dawson/Mansour/Silverberg 2 Expires May 1998 Internet DraftiCalendar Message-based Interoperability Protocol (iMIP) October 24, 1997 Properties defined by [ICAL] are referred to with capitalized, quoted-strings of text, followed by the word "property". For example, "ATTENDEE" property refers to the iCalendar property used to convey the calendar address of a calendar user. Property parameters defined by [ICAL] are referred to with lower case, quoted-strings of text, followed by the word "parameter". For example, "VALUE" parameter refers to the iCalendar property parameter used to override the default data type for a property value. 1.3 Terminology The email terms used in this memo are defined in [RFC-822] and [RFC- 2045]. The calendaring and scheduling terms used in this memo are defined in [ICMS], [ICAL] and [ITIP] 2 MIME Message Format Binding This section defines the message binding to the MIME electronic mail transport. The sections below refer to the "originator" and the "respondent" of an iMIP message. Typically, the originator is the owner or oganizer of an event. The respondent is an attendee of the event. In a well-organized email message the Reply-To header contains the email address of the originator or respondent of an event. However, this cannot be guaranteed as Mail User Agents (MUA) are not required to enforce iMIP semantics. 2.1 MIME Media Type A MIME entity containing content information formatted according to this design document will be referenced as a "text/calendar" content type. It is assumed that this content type will be transported through a MIME electronic mail transport. 2.2 Security This section addresses several aspects of security including Authentication, Authorization and Confidentiality. Authentication and confidentiality can be achieved using RFC 1847 which specifies the Security Multiparts for MIME. This framework defines new content types and subtypes of multipart: signed and encrypted. Each contains two body parts: one for the protected data and another for the control information necessary to remove the protection. 2.2.1 Authorization Per the [ICSM], only the organizer has authorization to modify or cancel calendar entries they organize. That is, spoof@xyz.com should not be able to modify or cancel a meeting that was organized by Dawson/Mansour/Silverberg 3 Expires May 1998 Internet DraftiCalendar Message-based Interoperability Protocol (iMIP) October 24, 1997 a@xyz.com. Furthermore, only the respondent has the authorization to indicate their status to the organizer. That is, spoof@xyz.com should not be able to tell the organizer that b@xyz.com declines a meeting invitation. Hence, iMIP implementations must verify the authenticity of the sender of an iCalendar object before taking any action. This could be done by utilizing a Multipart/signed implementation of either PGP/MIME or S/MIME. 2.2.2 Authentication Authentication can be performed using an implementation of RFC 1847 Multipart/signed that supports public/private key certificates. However, since most MUAs provide for the forwarding of messages, the organizer of an event and the sender of the message may be different. Therefore authentication may not be possible. 2.2.3 Confidentiality To ensure confidentiality using iMIP implementations should utilize RFC 1847 compliant encryption. The protocol does not restrict a CUA from forwarding Requests or Responses to other users or agents. 2.3 RFC 822 Addresses The calendar address specified within the "ATTENDEE" property in an iCalendar object MUST be a fully qualified, RFC 822 address specification for the corresponding "Owner", "Organizer" or "Attendee" of the "VEVENT" or "VTODO". The address MUST be the RFC 822 address for the calendaring and scheduling mailbox for the attendee. For purposes of authentication and authorization the RFC 822 "Sender" and "Reply-to" value MUST be the same as the address value for the "Organizer". Because [ITIP] does not preclude "Attendees" from forwarding "VEVENTS" or "VTODOS" to others, the RFC-822 "Sender" value may not equal that of the organizer. In these cases, authentication cannot be verified. Additionally, the "Organizer" cannot be inferred by the RFC-822 "Sender" or "Reply-to" values. Instead, it MUST be derived by opening the proper text/calendar MIME body part. 2.4 Content Type A MIME body part containing content information that conforms to this design document MUST have a Content-Type value of "text/calendar". The content type header field MUST also include the type parameter "method". The parameter value MUST be one of the message types defined by this method. The value MUST also be the same as the value of the METHOD calendar property within the iCalendar object. This means that if a MIME message containing multiple iCalendar objects with different method values, then they must be further encapsulated Dawson/Mansour/Silverberg 4 Expires May 1998 Internet DraftiCalendar Message-based Interoperability Protocol (iMIP) October 24, 1997 with a "multipart/mixed" MIME entity. This will allow each of the iCalendar objects to be encapsulated within their own "text/calendar" MIME entity. A CHARSET parameter MUST be present when the "text/calendar" is used. RFC-2046 discusses the selection of an appropriate CHARSET value. The optional Content-Type COMPONENT parameter defines the iCalendar component type contained within the iCalendar object. The following is an example of this header field with a value that indicates an event message. Content-Type:text/calendar; method=request; charset=UTF-8; component=vevent The "text/calendar" content type allows for the scheduling message type to be included in a MIME message with other content information (i.e., multipart/mixed) or included in a MIME message with a clear- text, human-readable form of the scheduling message (i.e., multipart/alternative). In order to permit the information in the scheduling message to be understood by MIME user agents (UA) that do not support the text/calendar content type, scheduling messages should be sent with an alternative, human-readable form of the information. 2.5 Content-Transfer-Encoding Note that the default character set for iCalendar objects is UTF-8. A transfer encoding SHOULD be used for iCalendar objects containing any characters that are not part of the US-ASCII character set. Content-Transfer-Encoding:quoted-printable 3 Security Considerations [ITIP] details the security threats that applications must address when implementing ITIP. Two spoofing threats are identified: Spoofing the "Organizer", and Spoofing an "Attendee". To address these threats, the originator of an iCalendar object must be authenticated by a recipient. Once authenticated, a determination can be made as to whether or not the originator is authorized to perform the requested operation. Applications requiring protection from this type of threat SHOULD provide a mechanism based on Security Multiparts for MIME [RFC1847] to authenticate the originator of the iCalendar object. The steps are described below: 1. The iCalendar object must be signed by the "Organizer" sending an update or the "Attendee" sending a reply. 2. Using the RFC1847-compliant security mechanism, determine who signed the iCalendar object. This is the "signer". Note that the Dawson/Mansour/Silverberg 5 Expires May 1998 Internet DraftiCalendar Message-based Interoperability Protocol (iMIP) October 24, 1997 signer is not necessarily the person sending an e-mail message. An e-mail message can be forwarded. 3. Correlate the "signer" to an "ATTENDEE" property in the iCalendar object. If the signer cannot be correlated to an "ATTENDEE" property, ignore the message. 4. Determine whether or not the "ATTENDEE" is authorized to perform the operation. ITIP states: (a) the "Organizer" is the only person authorized to make changes to an existing "VEVENT", "VTODO", "VJOURNAL" calendar component and redistribute the updates to the "Attendees" (b) an "Attendee" of a "VEVENT", "VTODO", "VJOURNAL" calendar component is the only person authorized to update any parameter associated with their "ATTENDEE" property and send it to the "Organizer" If these conditions are not met, ignore the message. 5. If all the above conditions are met, the message can be processed. 4 Examples 4.1 Single Component With An ATTACH Property This minimal message shows a how a an iCalendar object references an attachment.
