                 PASSporT Extension for Diverted Calls
                   draft-ietf-stir-passport-divert-09

Abstract

   PASSporT is specified in RFC 8225 to convey cryptographically-signed
   information about the people involved in personal communications.
   This document extends PASSporT to include an indication that a call
   has been diverted from its original destination to a new one.  This
   information can greatly improve the decisions made by verification
   services in call forwarding scenarios.  Also specified here is an
   encapsulation mechanism for nesting a PASSporT within another
   PASSporT that assists relying parties in some diversion scenarios.

1.  Introduction

   A Personal Assertion Token (PASSporT [RFC8225]) is a token format
   based on the JSON Web Token (JWT [RFC7519]) for conveying
   cryptographically-signed information about the people involved in
   personal communications; it is used by the Secure Telephone Identity
   Revisited (STIR [RFC8224]) protocol to convey a signed assertion of
   the identity of the participants in real-time communications
   established via a protocol like SIP.  This specification extends
   PASSporT to include an indication that a call has been diverted from
   its original destination to a new one.

   Although the STIR problem statement [RFC7340] is focused on
   preventing the impersonation of the caller's identity, which is a
   common enabler for threats such as robocalling and voicemail hacking
   on the telephone network today, it also provides a signature over the

   called number at the time that the authentication service sees it.
   As [RFC8224] Section 12.1 describes, this protection over the
   contents of the To header field is intended to prevent a class of
   cut-and-paste attacks.  If Alice calls Bob, for example, Bob might
   attempt to cut-and-paste the Identity header field in Alice's INVITE
   into a new INVITE that Bob sends to Carol, and thus be able to fool
   Carol into thinking the call came from Alice and not Bob. With the
   signature over the To header field value, the INVITE Carol sees will
   clearly have been destined originally for Bob, and thus Carol can
   view the INVITE as suspect.

   However, as [RFC8224] Section 12.1.1 points out, it is difficult for
   Carol to confirm or reject these suspicions based on the information
   she receives from the baseline PASSporT object.  The common "call
   forwarding" service serves as a good example of the reality that the
   original called party number is not always the number to which a call
   is delivered.  There are a number of potential ways for
   intermediaries to indicate that such a forwarding operating has taken
   place.  The address in the To header field value of SIP requests is
   not supposed to change, according to baseline SIP behavior [RFC3261];
   instead, it is the Request-URI that is supposed to be updated when a
   call is retargeted.  Practically speaking, however, many operational
   environments do alter the To header field.  The History-Info header
   field [RFC7044] was created to store the Request-URIs that are
   discarded by a call in transit.  The SIP Diversion header field
   [RFC5806], though historic, is still used for this purpose by some
   operators today.  Neither of these header fields provide any
   cryptographic assurance of secure redirection, and they both record
   entries for minor syntactical changes in URIs that do not reflect a
   change to the actual target of a call.

   This specification therefore extends PASSporT with an explicit
   indication that the original called number in PASSporT no longer
   reflects the destination to which a call is intended to be delivered.
   For this purpose, it specifies a Divert PASSporT type ("div") for use
   in common SIP retargeting cases; it is expected that in this case,
   SIP INVITE requests will carry multiple Identity header fields, each
   containing its own PASSporT.  Throughout this document, PASSporTs
   that contain a "div" element will be referred to as "div" PASSporTs.
   Verification services and the relying parties who make authorization
   decisions about communications may use this diversion indication to
   confirm that a legitimate retargeting of the call has taken place,
   rather than a cut-and-paste attack.  For out-of-band
   [I-D.ietf-stir-oob] use cases, and other non-SIP applications of
   PASSporT, a separate "div-o" PASSporT type is also specified, which
   defines an "opt" PASSporT element for carrying nested PASSporTs
   within a PASSporT.  These shall in turn be referred to in this
   document as "div-o" PASSporTs.

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.  The 'div' PASSporT Type and Claim

   This specification defines a PASSporT [RFC8225] type called "div"
   that may be employed by authentication services located at
   retargeting entities.  All "div" PASSporTs MUST contain a new JSON
   Web Token "div" claim, also specified in this document, which
   indicates a previous destination for a call during its routing
   process.  When a retargeting entity receives a call signed with a
   PASSporT, it may act as an authentication service and create a new
   PASSporT containing the "div" claim to attach to the call.

   Note that a new PASSporT is only necessary when the canonical form of
   the "dest" identifier (per the canonicalization procedures in
   [RFC8224] Section 8.3) changes due to this retargeting.  If the
   canonical form of the "dest" identifier is not changed during
   retargeting, then a new PASSporT with a "div" claim MUST NOT be
   produced.

   The headers of the new PASSporTs generated by retargeting entities
   MUST include the "div" PASSporT type, and an "x5u" field pointing to
   a credential that the retargeting entity controls. "div" PASSporTs
   MUST use full form instead of compact form.  The new PASSporT header
   will look as follows:

   { "typ":"passport",
     "ppt":"div",
     "alg":"ES256",
     "x5u":"https://www.example.com/cert.cer" }

   A "div" PASSporT claims set is populated with elements drawn from the
   PASSporT(s) received for a call by the retargeting entity: at a high
   level, the original identifier for the called party in the "dest"
   object will become the "div" claim in the new PASSporT.  If the
   "dest" object of the original PASSporT contains multiple identifiers,
   because it contains one or more name/value pairs with an array as its
   value, the retargeting entity MUST select only one identifier from
   the value(s) of the "dest" object to occupy the value of the "div"
   field in the new PASSporT.  Moreover, it MUST select an identifier
   that is within the scope of the credential that the retargeting

   entity will specify in the "x5u" of the PASSporT header (as described
   below).

   The new target for the call selected by the retargeting entity
   becomes the value of the "dest" object of the new PASSporT.  The
   "orig" object MUST be copied into the new PASSporT from the original
   PASSporT received by the retargeting entity.  The retargeting entity
   SHOULD retain the "iat" object from the original PASSporT, though if
   in the underlying signaling protocol (e.g.  SIP) the retargeting
   entity changes the date and time information in the retargeted
   request, the new PASSporT should instead reflect that date and time.
   No other claims or extensions are to be copied from the original
   PASSporT to the "div" PASSporT.

   So, for an original PASSporT claims set of the form:

      { "dest":{"tn":["12155551213"]},
        "iat":1443208345,
        "orig":{"tn":"12155551212"} }

   If the retargeting entity is changing the target from 12155551213 to
   12155551214, the claims set of a "div" PASSpoRT generated by the
   retargeting entity would look as follows:

      { "dest":{"tn":["12155551214"]},
        "div":{"tn":"121555551213"},
        "iat":1443208345,
        "orig":{"tn":"12155551212"} }

   The combined full form PASSporT (with a signature covered by the
   ES256 keys given in Appendix A) would look as follows:

    eyJhbGciOiJFUzI1NiIsInBwdCI6ImRpdiIsInR5cCI6InBhc3Nwb3J0IiwieDV1Ij \
    oiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZXhhbXBsZS5jb20vY2VydC5jZXIifQ.eyJkZXN0Ijp7InRuI \
    jpbIjEyMTU1NTUxMjE0Il19LCJkaXYiOnsidG4iOiIxMjE1NTU1NTEyMTMifSwiaWF \

    J8a6TsdX6xUXAnblsFiGUiAxwLiv0HLC9IICj6eG9jQd6WzeSSjHRBwxmChHhVIiMT \
    SqIlk3yCNkg

   The same "div" PASSporT would result if the "dest" object of the
   original PASSporT contained an array value, such as
   {"tn":["12155551213","19995551234"]}, and the retargeting entity
   chose to retarget from the first telephone number in the array.
   Every "div" PASSporT is diverting from only one identifier.

   Note that the "div" element may contain other name/value pairs than
   just a destination, including a History-Info indicator (see
   Section 8).  After the PASSporT header and claims have been

   constructed, their signature is generated per the guidance in
   [RFC8225] - except for the credential required to sign it.  While in
   the ordinary construction of a PASSporT, the credential used to sign
   will have authority over the identity in the "orig" claim (for
   example, a certificate with authority over the telephone number in
   "orig" per [RFC8226]), for all PASSporTs using the "div" type the
   signature MUST be created with a credential with authority over the
   identity present in the "div" claim.  So for the example above, where
   the original "dest" is "12155551213", the signer of the new PASSporT
   object MUST have authority over that telephone number, and need not
   have any authority over the telephone number present in the "orig"
   claim.

   Note that Identity header fields are not ordered in a SIP request,
   and in a case where there is a multiplicity of Identity header fields
   in a request, some sorting may be required to match "div" PASSporTs
   to their originals.

   PASSporTs of type "div" MUST NOT contain an "opt" (see Section 6)
   element in their payload.

4.  Using 'div' in SIP

   This section specifies SIP-specific usage for the "div" PASSporT type
   and its handling in the SIP Identity header field "ppt" parameter
   value.  Other protocols using PASSporT may define behavior specific
   to their use of the "div" claim.

4.1.  Authentication Service Behavior

   An authentication service only adds an Identity header field value
   containing the "div" PASSporT type to a SIP request that already
   contains at least one Identity header field value; it MUST NOT add a
   "div" PASSporT to an INVITE that contains no Identity header field.
   The retargeting entity SHOULD act as a verification service and
   validate the existing Identity header field value(s) in the request
   before proceeding; in some high-volume environments, it may instead
   put that burden of validating the chain entirely on the terminating
   verification service.  As the authentication service will be adding a
   new PASSporT that refers to an original, it MUST NOT remove the
   original request's Identity header field value before forwarding.

   As was stated in Section 3, the authentication service MUST sign any
   "div" PASSporT with a credential that has a scope of authority
   covering the identity it populates in the "div" element value.  Note
   that this is a significant departure from baseline STIR
   authentication service behavior, in which the PASSporT is signed by a
   credential with authority over the "orig" field.  The "div" value



Peterson                Expires January 14, 2021                [Page 6]

Internet-Draft              PASSporT Diverted                  July 2020


   reflects the URI that caused the call to be routed to the retargeting
   entity, so in ordinary operations, it would already be the STIR
   entity holding the appropriate private keying material for calls
   originating from that identity.

   A SIP authentication service typically will derive the "dest" element
   value of a "div" PASSporT from a new Request-URI that is set for the
   SIP request before it is forwarded.  Older values of the Request-URI
   may appear in header fields like Diversion or History-Info; this
   document specifies an optional interaction with History-Info below in
   Section 8.  Note as well that because PASSporT operates on
   canonicalized telephone numbers and normalized URIs, many smaller
   changes to the syntax of identifiers that might be captured by other
   mechanisms that record retargeting (like History-Info) will likely
   not require a "div" PASSporT.

   When adding an Identity header field with a PASSporT claims set
   containing a "div" claim, SIP authentication services MUST also add a
   "ppt" parameter to that Identity header with a value of "div".  For
   the example PASSporT given in Section 3, the new Identity header
   added after retargeting might look as follows:


    Identity:eyJhbGciOiJFUzI1NiIsInBwdCI6ImRpdiIsInR5cCI6InBhc3Nwb3J0I \
    iwieDV1IjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZXhhbXBsZS5jb20vY2VydC5jZXIifQ.eyJkZXN0 \

    ChHhVIiMTSqIlk3yCNkg; \
    info=<https://www.example.com/cert.cer>;ppt="div"


   Note that in some deployments, an authentication service will need to
   generate "div" PASSporTs for a request that contains multiple
   non-"div" Identity header field values.  For example, a request
   arriving at a retargeting entity might contain in different Identity
   header fields a baseline [RFC8224] PASSporT and a PASSporT of type
   "rph" [RFC8443] signed by a separate authority.  Provided that these
   PASSporTs share the same "orig" and "dest" values, the retargeting
   entity's authentication service SHOULD generate only one "div"
   PASSporT.  If the "orig" or "dest" of these PASSporTs differ,
   however, one "div" PASSporT SHOULD be generated for each non-"div"
   PASSporT.  Note that this effectively creates multiple chains of
   "div" PASSporTs in a single request, which complicates the procedures
   that need to be performed at verification services.

   Furthermore, a request may also be retargeted a second time, at which
   point the subsequent retargeting entity SHOULD generate one "div"



Peterson                Expires January 14, 2021                [Page 7]

Internet-Draft              PASSporT Diverted                  July 2020


   PASSporT for each previous "div" PASSporT in the request which
   contains a "dest" object with the value of the current target - but
   not for "div" PASSporTs with earlier targets.  Ordinarily, the
   current target will be readily identifiable, as it will be in the
   last "div" PASSporT in each chain, and in SIP cases it will
   correspond to the Request-URI received by the retargeting entity.
   Moreover, the current target will be an identifier that the
   retargeting entity possesses a credential to sign for, which may not
   be true for earlier targets.  Ultimately, on each retargeting, the
   number of PASSporTs added to a request will be equal to the number of
   non-"div" PASSporTs that do not share the same "orig" and "dest"
   object values.

4.2.  Verification Service Behavior

   [RFC8224] Section 6.2 Step 5 requires that specifications defining
   "ppt" values describe any additional or alternative verifier
   behavior.  The job of a SIP verification service handling one or more
   "div" PASSporTs is very different from that of a traditional
   verification service.  At a high level, the immediate responsibility
   of the verification service is to extract all PASSporTs from the two
   or more Identity header fields in a request, identify which are "div"
   PASSporTs and which are not, and then order and link the "div"
   PASSporTs to the original PASSporT(s) in order to build one or more
   chains of retargeting.

   In order to validate a SIP request using the "div" PASSporT type, a
   verification service needs to inspect all of the valid Identity
   header field values associated with a request, as an Identity header
   field value containing "div" necessarily refers to an earlier
   PASSporT already in the message.  For each "div" PASSporT, the
   verification service MUST find an earlier PASSporT that contains a
   "dest" claim with a value equivalent to the "div" claim in each "div"
   PASSporT.  It is possible that this earlier PASSporT will also
   contain a "div", and that it will in turn chain to a still earlier
   PASSporT stored in a different Identity header field value.  If a
   complete chain cannot be constructed, the verification service cannot
   complete "div" validation; it MAY still validate any non-"div"
   PASSporTs in the request per normal [RFC8224] procedures.  If a chain
   has been successfully constructed, the verification service extracts
   from the outermost (that is, the most recent) PASSporT in the chain a
   "dest" field; this will be a "div" PASSporT that no other "div"
   PASSporT in the SIP request refers to.  Its "dest" element value will
   be referred to in the procedures that follow as the value of the
   "outermost "dest" field."

   Ultimately, by looking at this chain of transformations and
   validating the associated signatures, the verification service will



Peterson                Expires January 14, 2021                [Page 8]

Internet-Draft              PASSporT Diverted                  July 2020


   be able to ascertain that the appropriate parties were responsible
   for the retargeting of the call to its current destination.  This can
   help the verification service to determine that the original PASSporT
   in the call was not simply used in a cut-and-paste attack and inform
   any associated authorization decisions in terms of how the call will
   be treated - though, per [RFC8224] Section 6.2.1, that decision is a
   matter of local policy and is thus outside the scope of this
   specification.

   A verification service parses a chain of PASSporTs as follows:

      First, the verification service MUST compare the value in the
      outermost "dest" field to the target of the call.  As it is
      anticipated that SIP authentication services that create "div"
      PASSporTs will populate the "dest" header from the retargeted
      Request-URI (see Section 4.1), in ordinary SIP operations, the
      Request-URI is where verification services will find the latest
      call target.  Note however that after a "div" PASSporT has been
      added to a SIP request, the Request-URI may have been updated
      during normal call processing to an identifier that no longer
      contains the logical destination of a call; in this case, the
      verification service MAY compare the "dest" field to a provisioned
      telephone number for the recipient.

      Second, the verification service MUST validate the signature over
      the outermost "div" PASSporT, and establish that the credential
      that signed the "div" PASSporT has the authority to attest for the
      identifier in the "div" element of the PASSporT (per [RFC8224]
      Section 6.2 Step 3).

      Third, the verification service MUST validate that the "orig"
      field of the innermost PASSporT of the chain (the only PASSporT in
      the chain which will not be of PASSporT type "div") is equivalent
      to the "orig" field of the outermost "div" PASSporT; in other
      words, that the original calling identifier has not been altered
      by retargeting authentication services.  If the "orig" value has
      changed, the verification service MUST treat the entire PASSporT
      chain as invalid.  The verification service MUST also verify that
      all other "div" PASSporTs in the chain share the same "orig"
      value.  Then the verification service validates the relationship
      of the "orig" field to the SIP-level call signaling per the
      guidance in [RFC8224] Section 6.2 Step 2.

      Fourth, the verification service MUST check the date freshness in
      the outermost "div" PASSporT per [RFC8224] Section 6.2 Step 4.  It
      is furthermore RECOMMENDED that the verification service check
      that the "iat" field of the innermost PASSporT is also within the
      date freshness interval; otherwise the verification service could

      allow attackers to replay an old, stale PASSporT embedded in a
      fresh "div".  However, note that in some use cases, including
      certain ways that call transfers are implemented, it is possible
      that an established call will be retargeted long after it has
      originally been placed, and verification services may want to
      allow a longer window for the freshness of the innermost PASSporT
      if the call is transferred from a trusted party (as an upper
      bound, a freshness window on the order of three hours might
      suffice).

      Fifth, the verification service MUST inspect and validate the
      signatures on each and every PASSporT object in the chain between
      the outermost "div" PASSporT and the innermost PASSporT.  Note
      that (per Section 4.1) a chain may terminate at more than one
      innermost PASSporT, in cases where a single "div" is used to
      retarget from multiple innermost PASSporTs.  Also note that
      [RFC8224] Section 6.2 Step 1 applies to the chain validation
      process: if the innermost PASSporT contains an unsupported "ppt",
      its chain MUST be ignored.

   Note that the To header field is not used in the first step above.
   Optionally, the verification service MAY verify that the To header
   field value of the received SIP signaling is equal to the "dest"
   value in the innermost PASSporT; however, as has been observed in
   some deployments, the original To header field value may be altered
   by intermediaries to reflect changes of target.  Deployments that
   change the original To header field value to conceal the original
   destination of the call from the ultimate recipient should note that
   the original destination of a call may be preserved in the innermost
   PASSporT.  Future work on "div" might explore methods to implement
   that sort of policy while retaining a secure chain of redirection.

5.  The 'div-o' PASSporT Type

   This specification defines a "div-o" PASSporT type that uses the
   "div" claim element in conjunction with the "opt" (Section 6) claim
   element.  As is the case with "div" PASSporT type, a "div-o" PASSporT
   is created by an authentication service acting for a retargeting
   entity, but instead of generating a separate "div" PASSporT to be
   conveyed alongside an original PASSporT, the authentication service
   in this case embeds the original PASSporT inside the "opt" element of
   the "div-o" PASSporT.  The "div-o" extension is designed for use in
   non-SIP or gatewayed SIP environments where the conveyance of
   PASSporTs in separate Identity header fields in impossible, such as
   out-of-band [I-D.ietf-stir-oob] STIR scenarios.

   The syntax of "div-o" PASSporTs is very similar to "div".  A "div-o"
   PASSporT header object might look as follows:



Peterson                Expires January 14, 2021               [Page 10]

Internet-Draft              PASSporT Diverted                  July 2020


   { "typ":"passport",
     "ppt":"div-o",
     "alg":"ES256",
     "x5u":"https://www.example.com/cert.cer" }

   Whereas a "div" PASSporT claims set contains only the "orig", "dest",
   "iat", and "div" elements, the "div-o" additionally MUST contain an
   "opt" element (see Section 6), which encapsulates the full form of
   the previous PASSporT from which the call was retargeted, triggering
   the generation of this "div-o".  The format of the "opt" element is
   identical to the encoded PASSporT format given in Appendix A of
   [RFC8225].

   So, for an original PASSporT claims set of the form:

      { "orig":{"tn":"12155551212"},
        "dest":{"tn":["12155551213"]},
        "iat":1443208345 }

   If the retargeting entity is changing the target from 12155551213 to
   12155551214, the new PASSporT claims set for "div-o" would look as
   follows:

    { "orig":{"tn":"12155551212"},
      "dest":{"tn":["12155551214"]},
      "iat":1443208345,
      "div":{"tn":"121555551213"},
      "opt":"eyJhbGciOiJFUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6InBhc3Nwb3J0IiwieDV1IjoiaHR0c \

   While in ordinary operations, it is not expected that SIP would carry
   a "div-o" PASSporT, it might be possible in some gatewaying
   scenarios.  The resulting full form Identity header field with a
   "div-o" PASSporT would look as follows:

5.1.  Processing 'div-o' PASSporTs

   The authentication and verification service procedures required for
   "div-o" closely follow the guidance given in Section 4.1 and
   Section 4.2, with the major caveats being first, that they do store
   or retrieve PASSporTs via the Identity header field values of SIP
   requests, and second, that they process nested PASSporTs in the "opt"
   claim element.  But transposing the rest of the behaviors described
   above to creating and validating "div-o" PASSporTs is
   straightforward.

   For the "div-o" PASSporT type, retargeting authentication services
   that handle calls with one or more existing PASSporTs will create a
   corresponding "div-o" PASSporT for each received PASSporT.  Each
   "div-o" PASSporT MUST contain an "opt" claim set element with the
   value of the original PASSporT from which the "div-o" was created;
   and as specified in Section 4.1, the authentication service MUST
   populate the "div" claim set element of the "div-o" PASSporT with the
   "dest" field fo the original PASSporT.  Each received PASSporT may in
   turn contain its own "opt" claim set element, if the retargeting
   authentication service is not the first in its chain.  Note that if
   the retargeting authentication service is handling a call with
   multiple PASSporTs, which in ordinary SIP operation would result in
   the construction of multiple "div" chains, it will in effect be
   generating one "div-o" PASSporT per chain.

   The job of a verification service is in many ways easier for "div-o"
   than for "div", as the verification service has no need to correlate
   the PASSporTs it receives and assemble them into chains, as any
   chains in "div-o" will be nested through the "opt" element.
   Nonetheless, the verification services MUST perform the same chain
   validation described in Section 4.2 to validate that each nested
   PASSporT shares the same "orig" field as its enclosing PASSporT, and
   that the "dest" field of each nested PASSporT corresponds to the

Internet-Draft              PASSporT Diverted                  July 2020


   "div" field of its enclosing PASSporT.  The same checks MUST also be
   performed for freshness, signature validation, and so on.  It is
   similarly OPTIONAL for the verification service to determine that the
   "dest" claims element of the outermost PASSporT corresponds to the
   called party indication of receive telephone signaling, where such
   indication would vary depending on the using protocol.

   How authentication services or verification services receive or
   transport PASSporTs for "div-o" is outside the scope of this
   document, and dependent on the using protocol.

6.  Definition of 'opt'

   The presence of an "Original PASSporT" ("opt") claims set element
   signifies that a PASSporT encapsulates another entire PASSporT within
   it, typically a PASSporT that was transformed in some way to create
   the current PASSporT.  Relying parties may need to consult the
   encapsulated PASSporT in order to validate the identity of a caller.
   "opt" as defined in this specification may be used by future PASSporT
   extensions as well as in conjunction with "div-o".

   "opt" MUST contain a quoted full-form PASSporT as specified by
   [RFC8225] Appendix A; it MUST NOT contain a compact form PASSporT.
   For an example of a "div-o" PASSporT containing "opt," see Section 5.

7.  'div' and Redirection

   The "div" mechanism exists primarily to prevent false negatives at
   verification services when an arriving SIP request, due to
   intermediary retargeting, does not appear to be intended for its
   eventual recipient, because the original PASSporT "dest" value
   designates a different destination.

   Any intermediary that assigns a new target to a request can, instead
   of retargeting and forwarding the request, instead redirect with a
   3xx response code.  In ordinary operations, a redirection poses no
   difficulties for the operations of baseline STIR: when the user agent
   client (UAC) receives the 3xx response, it will initiate a new
   request to the new target (typically the target carried in the
   Contact header field value of the 3xx), and the "dest" of the
   PASSporT created for the new request will match that new target.  As
   no impersonation attack can arise from this case, it creates no new
   requirements for STIR.

   However, some UACs record the original target of a call with
   mechanisms like History-Info [RFC7044] or Diversion [RFC5806], and
   may want to leverage STIR to demonstrate to the ultimate recipient
   that the call has been redirected securely: that is, that the



Peterson                Expires January 14, 2021               [Page 13]

Internet-Draft              PASSporT Diverted                  July 2020


   original destination was the one that sent the redirection message
   that led to the recipient receiving the request.  The semantics of
   the PASSporT necessary for that assertion are the same as those for
   the "div" retargeting cases above.  The only wrinkle is that the
   PASSporT needs to be generated by the redirecting entity and sent
   back to the originating user agent client within the 3xx response.

   This introduces more complexity than might immediately be apparent.
   In the first place, a 3xx response can convey multiple targets
   through the Contact header field value; to accommodate this, the
   "div" PASSporT MAY include one "dest" object array value per Contact,
   but if the retargeting entity wants to keep the Contact list private
   from targets, it may need to generate one PASSporT per Contact.  Bear
   in mind as well that the original SIP request could have carried
   multiple Identity header field values that had been added by
   different authentication services in the request path, so a
   redirecting entity might need to generate one "div" PASSporT for each
   PASSporT in the original request.  Often, this will mean just one
   "div" PASSporT, but for some deployment scenarios, it could require
   an impractical number of combinations.  But in very complex call
   routing scenarios, attestation of source identity would only add
   limited value anyway.

   STIR-aware SIP intermediaries that redirect requests MAY therefore
   convey one or more PASSporTs in the backwards direction within
   Identity header fields.  These redirecting entities will act as
   authentication services for "div" as described in Section 4.1.  This
   document consequently updates [RFC8224] to permit carrying Identity
   header fields in SIP 300-class responses.  It is left to the
   originating user agent to determine which Identity header fields
   should be copied from the 3xx into any new requests resulting from
   the redirection, if any: use of these Identity header fields by
   entities receiving a 3xx response is OPTIONAL.

   Finally, note that if an intermediary in the response path consumes
   the 3xx and explores new targets itself while performing sequential
   forking, it will effectively retarget the call on behalf of the
   redirecting server, and this will create the same need for "div"
   PASSporTs as any other retargeted call.  These intermediaries MAY
   also copy PASSporTs from the 3xx response and insert them into
   sequential forking requests, if appropriate.

8.  Extending 'div' to work with Service Logic Tracking

   It is anticipated that "div" may be used in concert with History-Info
   [RFC7044] in some deployments.  It may not be clear from the "orig"
   and "dest" values which History-Info header a given PASSporT
   correlates to, especially because some of the target changes tracked



Peterson                Expires January 14, 2021               [Page 14]

Internet-Draft              PASSporT Diverted                  July 2020


   by History-Info will not be reflected in a "div" PASSporT (see
   Section 1).  Therefore an "hi" element as defined here may appear in
   "div" corresponding to the History-Info header field index parameter
   value.  So for a History-Info header field with an index value of
   "1.2.1", the claims set of the corresponding PASSporT with "div"
   might look like:

      { "orig":{"tn":"12155551212"},
        "dest":{"tn":["12155551214"]},
        "iat":1443208345,
        "div":{"tn":"121555551213",
               "hi":"1.2.1"} }

   Past experience has shown that there may be additional information
   about the motivation for retargeting that relying parties might
   consider when making authorization decisions about a call, see for
   example the "reason" associated with the SIP Diversion header field
   [RFC5806].  Future extensions to this specification might incorporate
   reasons into "div".

   https://www.iana.org/assignments/passport/passport.xhtml#passport-
   extensions.  They are:

      "div" as defined in [RFCThis] Section 3.

      "div-o" as defined in [RFCThis] Section 5.

11.  Privacy Considerations

   There is an inherent trade-off in any mechanism that tracks in SIP
   signaling how calls are routed through a network, as routing
   decisions may expose policies set by users for how calls are
   forwarded, potentially revealing relationships between different
   identifiers representing the same user.  Note however that in
   ordinary operations, this information is revealed to the user agent
   service of the called party, not the calling party.  It is usually
   the called party who establishes these forwarding relationships, and
   if indeed some other party is responsible for calls being forwarded
   to the called party, many times the called party should likely be
   entitled to information about why they are receiving these calls.
   Similarly, a redirecting entity who sends a 3xx in the backwards
   direction knowingly shares information about service logic with the
   caller's network.  However, as there may be unforeseen circumstances
   where the revelation of service logic to the called party poses a
   privacy risk, implementers and users of this or similar diversion-
   tracking techniques should understand the trade-off.

   Furthermore, it is a general privacy risk of identity mechanisms
   overall that they do not interface well with anonymization services;
   the interaction of STIR with anonymization services is detailed in
   [RFC8224] Section 11.  Any forwarding service that acts as an
   anonymizing proxy may not be able to provide a secure chain of
   retargeting due to the obfuscation of the originating identity.

   Also see [RFC8224] Section 11 for further considerations on the
   privacy of using PASSporTs in SIP.

12.  Security Considerations

   This specification describes a security feature, and is primarily
   concerned with increasing security when calls are forwarded.
   Including information about how calls were retargeted during the
   routing process can allow downstream entities to infer particulars of
   the policies used to route calls through the network.  However,
   including this information about forwarding is at the discretion of
   the retargeting entity, so if there is a requirement to keep an
   intermediate called number confidential, no PASSporT should be
   created for that retargeting - the only consequence will be that
   downstream entities will be unable to correlate an incoming call with
   the original PASSporT without access to some prior knowledge of the
   policies that could have caused the retargeting.

   Any extension that makes PASSporTs larger creates a potential
   amplification mechanism for SIP-based DDoS attacks.  Since diversion
   PASSporTs are created as a part of normal forwarding activity, this
   risk arises at the discretion of the retargeting domain: simply using
   3xx response redirections rather than retargeting (by supplying a
   "div" per Section 7) mitigates the potential impact.  Under unusual
   traffic loads, even domains that might ordinarily retarget requests
   can switch to redirection.

   SIP has an inherent capability to redirect requests, including
   forking them to multiple parties -- potentially a very large numbers
   of parties.  The use of the "div" PASSporT type does not grant any
   additional powers to attackers who hope to place bulk calls; if
   present, the "div" PASSporT instead identifies the party responsible
   for the forwarding.  As such, senders of bulk unsolicited traffic are
   unlikely to find the use of "div" attractive.
