Introduction This binding document provides the transport specific information necessary convey iCalendar Transport-independent Interoperability Protocol [ITIP] over a real-time transport. 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; [IMIP] - specifies a messaging-based 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. 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, Courtemanche/Mansour/O'Leary 2 Expires February 1998 Internet Draft iRIP August 3, 1998 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. 2. Architecture iRIP enables real-time interoperability between scheduling systems using the iCalendar [ICAL] format for information exchange. iRIP is designed primarily to allow Calendar Services (CS) as defined in [ICSM] to forward real-time requests on behalf of Calendar User Agents (CUA). The goal of iRIP is to allow two or more CS's to establish connections between them and operate as a single Calendar Domain. iRIP allows a CS to initiate a session and perform operations on behalf of multiple CUA's without the need to reauthenticate the session for each CUA. The design of iRIP does not preclude its use from a CUA directly to a CS. iRIP does not support client access functions such as calendar browsing, retrieval, and search. Terms used in the following discussion include: User - the CU that initiates a request. Sender - the agent used to contact a receiving device, send commands, and receive replies Receiver - the agent that accepts commands and sends replies. The Sender and Receiver can take on varying roles of CUA and CS as described in [ICMS]. iRIP allows two CS's to establish different levels of trust so that scheduling operations can be performed as efficiently as possible. When an iRIP connection is first established, both parties to the connection authenticate one another using the AUTHENTICATE command. The Sender can then initiate commands which the Receiver MUST interpret relative to the Sender's access control. The AUTHENTICATE command supports proxy operations via [SASL]. 2.1 State Diagram An iRIP session begins when a TCP/IP connection is made on port 5228. The protocol begins in the Connected state. The AUTHENTICATE command, when successful, begins the Authenticated state. From the Authenticated state, the sender can initiate a request using the RECIPIENT command. The Sender can then issues as many RECIPIENT commands as the operation in progress requires until sending an ICALDATA command. After completing the ICALDATA command, the Sender must wait for a response from the receiver. The Receiver can respond that the request has been completed or that the request could not be completed in the time specified by the Sender. When the Receive has ended, the Sender returns to the Authenticated state where another request can be initiated. Implementations should be prepared to handle a DISCONNECT at any point in this state diagram.

IRIP uses the following forms of URI. [protocol:]//host.domain[:port]/CSID mailto:CSID@host.domain where: CSID is an identifier that uniquely identifies the calendar store. There is no implied structure in a CSID, it is an arbitrary string of characters. It may refer to the calendar of a user or of a resource such as a conference room. protocol is optional. Its default value is "IRIP". port is optional. Its default value is 5228. Examples: mailto:user1@example.com irip://calendar.example.com/user1 irip://calendar.example.com/conferenceRoomA irip://calendar.example.com/89798-098-zytytasd 2.3 Bounded Latency iRIP is designed so that the Sender can either obtain an immediate response from a request or discover within a known amount of time that the request cannot be completed. When the Sender initiates a command that the Receiver cannot complete within a given amount of time, the Receiver can return an error code to the Sender indicating this condition. The Sender then issues either a CONTINUE or ABORT command. The ABORT command immediately terminates the command in progress. The CONTINUE command instructs the Receiver to continue processing the Courtemanche/Mansour/O'Leary 4 Expires February 1998 Internet Draft iRIP August 3, 1998 command. The ABORT command causes the Receiver to discard the current command and return to the Authenticated state. 3. Commands In the examples below, lines preceded with "S:" refer to the Sender and lines preceded with "R:" refer to the Receiver. Reply codes MAY be followed by arbitrary text. The length of the reply code, any subsequent text, and the terminating MUST be l024 characters or less. 3.1 ABORT The ABORT command is issued by the Sender to stop an ICALDATA request from being processed further. When the latency time is specified on the ICALDATA command, the Receiver must issue a reply to the Sender within the specified time. The reply may be a reply code indicating that the server has not yet processed the request. The Sender must then tell the server whether to continue or abort. The ABORT command can also be issued at any time by the Sender after the ICALDATA command has been completed but before the Sender receives a reply. Example: ... S: ICALDATA:10 R: 2.0.1 Start ICAL input; end with . S: Content-Type:text/calendar; method=REQUEST; charset=US-ASCII S: Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable S: S: BEGIN:VCALENDAR S: ... S: END:VCALENDAR S: . <10 seconds elapse...> R: . R: 7.0 TIMEOUT S: ABORT R: 2.0 OK S: 3.2 AUTHENTICATE The authentication mechanism used in iRIP is based on [SASL]. This allows the iRIP senders and receivers to dynamically negotiate authentication and encryption mechanisms. SASL defines authentication methods such as ANONYMOUS and encapsulates concepts of PROXY used in iRIP. The AUTHENTICATE command is used by the client to identify itself to the server. Authenticate is required before any other command can be used and must be the first one sent following the server's welcome message. The format of the command is of the following: AUTHENTICATE Courtemanche/Mansour/O'Leary 5 Expires February 1998 Internet Draft iRIP August 3, 1998 from which the standard SASL interchange will take place as defined in the SASL profile. Example of an authentication session with kerberose version 4: R: 2.0 Welcome IRIP Server S: AUTHENTICATE KERBEROS_V4 744RTU3r# S: sfdkjgs;lfdjg s;ldfkj gslkfdjgwrt949jsl4ns.dlngsdf S: slkfjgsdlfjg;dslfjgdsfg S: ;lasfgsdfg 45243 z!$14325dc R: 2.0 OK Kerberos V4 authentication successful 3.2.1 Authentication with Proxy Access The proxy mechanism is the ability to have data posted from through an indirect source. To handle this requirement, SASL mechanisms have a separate "Authentication" and "authorization" identity. Thus, server A could authenticate to server B using server A's credentials with the authorization identity of user X. This effectively allows PROXY operations between servers. Some older SASL mechanisms do not support both authentication and authorization and therefore can't be used when PROXY operations are required. As per the SASL profile, the authorization identity is the one used to determine if the operation should be allowed or not. The authentication identity ensures the transaction is originating from a trusted sender. 3.2.2 Authentication for Anonymous Access SASL defines an ANONYMOUS authentication mechanism that must be used if anonymous access is to be implemented by an iRIP capable server. This is done by using the standard SASL authentication method and requesting the ANONYMOUS mechanism. The mechanism consists of a single message from the client to the server. The client sends optional trace information in the for of a human readable string. It is recommended that the trace information take one of three forms: An [RFC-822] Internet e-mail address, an opaque ASCII string wich does not contain the "@" character and can be interpreted by the system administrator of the client's domain or nothing. The following is an example of anonymous access using an opaque ASCII string: R: S: R: 2.0 AboutTime iRIPServer@xyx.com Ready S: AUTHENTICATE ANONYMOUS R: + S: c21yaGM R: 2.0 Welcome anonymous 3.2.3 Authentication whit plain text password: An example SASL allows for a server implementation to support simultaniousely many different authentication mechanism, one of them being the well known plain text password. Altough plain text password is a very vulnerable authentication mechanism, it may be adequate for some applications and is illustrated here because it is well known and understood. To properly implement the PLAIN authentication mechanism, refer to [PLAINTRAN-SASL] as listed in the bibliography section of this Courtemanche/Mansour/O'Leary 6 Expires February 1998 Internet Draft iRIP August 3, 1998 document. R: S: R: 2.0 AboutTime iRIPServer@xyx.com Ready S: AUTHENTICATE PLAIN johndoe@xyz.com \0 open-sesame R: 2.0 Welcome johndoe@xyz.com 3.3 CAPABILITY The CAPABILITY command tells the server to return a list of capabilities it supports. The server must return a CAPABILITY response with "IRIPrev1" as one of the listed capabilities. The CAPBILITY command can be issued in any connection state and the reply is not dependent upon the connection state. A capability name which begins with "AUTH=" indicates that the server supports that particular authentication mechanism. Example: S: CAPABILITY R: CAPABILITY IRIPrev1 AUTH=KERBEROS_V4 AUTH=PLAIN R: 2.0 OK 3.4 CONTINUE The CONTINUE command is issued by the Sender to allow an ICALDATA request to continue being processed. When the latency time is specified on the ICALDATA command, the Receiver must issue a reply to the Sender within the specified time. The reply may be a reply code indicating that the server has not yet processed the request. The Sender must then tell the server whether to continue or abort. The CONTINUE has the following form: CONTINUE[:latencyTime] If the optional latencyTime is present, it specifies the maximum number of seconds the client will wait for the next response. In this example, the Sender requests some sort of response from the server every 10 seconds. ... S: ICALDATA:10 R: 2.0.1 Start ICAL input; end with . S: BEGIN:VCALENDAR S: END:VCALENDAR S: . R: . R: 2.0.2 Reply Pending S: CONTINUE:10 R: BEGIN:VCALENDAR R: END:VCALENDAR R: . Courtemanche/Mansour/O'Leary 7 Expires February 1998 Internet Draft iRIP August 3, 1998 R: 2.0 OK 3.5 DISCONNECT The DISCONNECT command signals the end of communication between the Sender and Receiver. Example: S: DISCONNECT R: 2.1 EXAMPLE.COM IRIP Service closing transmission channel 3.6 ICALDATA The ICALDATA is used specify the iCalendar Object that is to be delivered to one or more recipients specified in the RECIPIENT command. The format of the command is: S: ICALDATA[:latencyTime] S: S: . R: R: . R: The optional latencyTime value specifies the maximum number of seconds the Sender can wait for a reply. If it is not present, the client places no time limit on the server for a reply. Following the ICALDATA keyword is the iCalendar Object data. The data is terminated by the special sequence .. The server reply may optionally contain an iCalendar Object, the special sequence . followed by a reply code. S: ICALDATA R: 2.0.1 Start ICAL input; end with . S: Content-Type:text/calendar; method=REQUEST; charset=US-ASCII S: Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit S: S: BEGIN:VCALENDAR S: END:VCALENDAR S: . R: . R: 2.0 OK 3.7 RECIPIENT The RECIPIENT command is used to identify a recipient of the iCalendar Object. Use multiple RECIPIENT commands to specify multiple recipients. The command format is: RECIPIENT 3.8 SWITCH The SWITCH command is used to allow the Sender and Receiver to change roles. Its format is: SWITCH Courtemanche/Mansour/O'Leary 8 Expires February 1998 Internet Draft iRIP August 3, 1998 The SWITCH command is useful in environments where the firewall of a Sender would not allow the Receiver to initiate a connection. The SWITCH command is issued by the Sender to give the Receiver the opportunity to take the role of the Sender. The Sender must be in the authenticated state before the SWITCH command can be used. The Receiver must respond in one of the following fashions: a) send an OK reply and take on the role of Sender b) send a error reply indicating refusal and retain the role of Receiver If program-A is currently the Sender and sends the SWITCH command and receives an OK reply then program-A becomes the Receiver. Program-A is then in its initial state and sends a service ready greeting message. If program-B is currently the Receiver and sends an OK reply in response to a SWITCH command then program-B becomes the Sender. Program-B is then in the initial state as if the transmission channel just opened, and expects to receive a service ready greeting. 3.9 Error Codes iRIP error codes follow the format defined for Status Replies in [ITIP]. All Status Replies as defined in [ITIP] are valid error codes when returned by an iRIP command. In addition to those defined in [ITIP], iRIP defines the following error codes: 2.0.1 START-ICALDATA Start ICAL input; end with . 2.0.2 REPLY-PENDING A timeout has occurred. The server is still working on the reply. Use CONTINUE to continue waiting for the reply or ABORT to terminate the command. 6.0 AUTHORIZATION FAILED General authorization failure 6.1 TRANSITION-NEEDED Indicates the transition from a legacy database to a more secure password mechanism, and reports that the new mechanism is not usable until "AUTHENTICATE PLAIN" or a login procedure is used. 6.2 AUTH-TOO-WEAK Indicates that multiple remote services are offered, and therefore there is no practical way to transition every remote service. So, the mechanism must not allow users to have different passwords for different services. The error code reports that no new plaintext passwords will be accepted from the user at a later date. It could also indicate that the requested mechanism is not available. Courtemanche/Mansour/O'Leary 9 Expires February 1998 Internet Draft iRIP August 3, 1998 6.3 ENCRYPT-NEEDED Indicates that the requested mechanism it to be used in conjunction with a strong external encryption layer. 7.0 TIMEOUT The requested operation could not be completed in the time allotted. Command execution is suspended pending a reply to continue or abort. 8.0 GENERAL FAILURE A failure has occurred in the Receiver that prevents the operation from succeeding. 8.1 SERVER TOO BUSY Sent when a connection cannot be established because the iRIP Receiver is too busy. 9.0 INVALID IRIP COMMAND An unrecongnized command was received. 10.0 NOT HERE The Receiver does not know how to contact the Calendar Store for the specified RECIPIENT. 10.1 REFERRAL Accompanied by an alternate address. The RECIPIENT specified should be contacted at the given alternate address. 4. Security Considerations The security of iRIP with SASL support is highly dependent on the mechanism used to authenticate the client and whether or not the security layer is further negotiated. Without a robust security layer, iRIP transactions are subject to eavesdropping and the integrity of iRIP transactions may be compromised. Since iRIP is designed specifically for real time Internet transactions, it is recommended that implementations use the highest degree of authentication and transmission security possible. Authentication is fundamental to iRIP. It is the basis for granting and denying access. Without a robust security layer iRIP will be subject to many possible attacks and the full contents of the server itself may be at risk. 4.1 SASL ANONYMOUS Mechanism Implementing support for the Anonymous SASL significantly increases the vulnerability of the calendar server and its data. Refer to [ANON-SASL] for further information on many threats specific to Anonymous SASL access. 4.2 SASL Profile Definition for the protocol The implementation of SASL in iRIP requires the server and client to comply to the following profile extension: AUTHENTICATE command. Full description of the challenge/response definition. Starting octet. Interpretation of the authorization identity passed should be interpreted. Courtemanche/Mansour/O'Leary 10 Expires February 1998 Internet Draft iRIP August 3, 1998 4.3 ITIP Threats Threat: Spoofing the organizer or attendee. Solution: The entire protection for spoofing attendees or organizer of a meeting resides in the fact that the connection needs to be authenticated. Spoofing would be possible in the absence of authentication. Threat: Eavesdropping on the traffic. Solution: If SASL is used to negotiate with the server a security layer, then traffic is no longer in the clear and eavesdropping will not be restricted. Threat: Flooding of a calendar Solution: Implementation of iRIP should limit the size and traffic of transaction from a given source. Threat: Procedural Alarms Solution: Implementation of iRIP should remove or disallow procedural alarms before delivery. 4.4 IRIP-Specific Threats Threat: Flooding of connections Solution: Connections that have not been authenticated within 3 seconds should be disconnected. 5.
