                   PASSporT SHAKEN Extension (SHAKEN)
                   draft-ietf-stir-passport-shaken-02

Abstract

   This document extends PASSporT, which is a token object that conveys
   cryptographically-signed information about the participants involved
   in communications, to include information defined as part of the
   SHAKEN specification from ATIS (Alliance for Telecommunications
   Industry Solutions) and the SIP Forum IP-NNI Joint Task Force.  These
   extensions provide a level of confidence in the correctness of the
   originating identity for a telephone network that has communications
   coming from both STIR participating originating communications as
   well as communications that does not include STIR information.

1.  Introduction

   The SHAKEN [ATIS-1000074] specification defines a framework for using
   STIR protocols including PASSporT [RFC8225], RFC4474bis [RFC8224] and
   the STIR certificate framework [RFC8226] for implementing the
   cryptographic validation of an authorized originator of telephone
   calls using SIP.  Because the current telephone network contains both
   VoIP and TDM/SS7 originated traffic, there are many scenarios that
   need to be accounted for where PASSporT signatures may represent
   either direct or indirect call origination scenarios.  The SHAKEN
   [ATIS-1000074] specification defines levels of attestation of the
   origination of the call as well as an origination identifier that can
   help create a unique association with the origination of calls from
   various parts of the VoIP or TDM telephone network.  This document
   specifies these indicators as a specified PASSporT extension.

2.  Terminology

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].

3.  Overview of 'shaken' PASSporT extension

   The SHAKEN framework is designed to use PASSporT [RFC8225] as a
   method of asserting the telephone number calling identity.  In
   addition to the PASSporT base claims, there are two additional claims
   that have been defined for the needs of a service provider to signal
   information beyond just the telephone identity.  First, in order to
   help bridge the transition of the state of the current telephone
   network which has calls with no authentication and non-SIP [RFC3261]
   signaling not compatible with the use of PASSporT and Secure
   Telephone Identity (STI) in general, there is an attestation claim.
   This provides three levels of attestation, including a full
   attestation when the service provider can fully attest to the calling
   identity, a partial attestation, when the service provider originated
   a telephone call but can not fully attest to the calling identity,
   and a gateway attestation which is the lowest level of attestation
   and represents the service provider receiving a call from a non
   PASSporT or STI supporting telephone gateway.

   The second claim is a unique origination identifier that should be
   used by the service provider to identify different sources of
   telephone calls to support a traceback mechanism that can be used for
   enforcement and identification of a source of illegitimate calls.

   The next two sections define these new claims.

4.  PASSporT 'attest' Claim

   This indicator allows for both identifying the service provider that
   is vouching for the call as well as clearly indicating what
   information the service provider is attesting to.  The 'attest' claim
   can be one of the following three values, 'A', 'B', or 'C' as defined
   in [ATIS-1000074].

   'A' represents 'Full Attestation' where the signing provider MUST
   satisfy all of the following conditions:

   o  Is responsible for the origination of the call onto the IP based
      service provider voice network.

   o  Has a direct authenticated relationship with the initiator of the
      call and can identify the customer associated with the initiator.

   o  Has established a verified association with the calling party
      telephone number used for the call.

   'B' represents 'Partial Attestation' where the signing provider MUST
   satisfy all of the following conditions:

Wendt & Barnes         Expires September 20, 2018               [Page 3]
Internet-Draft                   shaken                       March 2018

   o  Is responsible for the origination of the call onto its IP-based
      voice network.

   o  Has a direct authenticated relationship with the initiator of the
      call and can identify the customer associated with the initiator.

   o  Has NOT established a verified association with the calling party
      telephone number being used for the call.

   'C' represents 'Gateway Attestation' where the signing provider MUST
   satisfy all of the following conditions:

   o  Is the entry point of the call into its VoIP network.

   o  Has no relationship with the initiator of the call (e.g.,
      international gateways)

5.  PASSporT 'origid' Claim

   The purpose of the unique origination identifier is to assign an
   opaque identifier corresponding to the service provider-initiated
   calls themselves, customers, classes of devices, or other groupings
   that a service provider might want to use for determining things like
   reputation or trace back identification of customers or gateways.
   The value of 'origid' claim is a UUID as defined in [RFC4122].
   SHAKEN isn't prescriptive in the exact usage of origid other than the
   UUID format as a globally unique identifier representing the
   originator of the call to whatever granularity the PASSporT signer
   determines is sufficient for the ability to trace the original
   origination point of the call.  There will likely be best practices
   documents that more precisely guide it's usage in real deployments.

      "origid":"123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426655440000"
   }

7.  Using 'shaken' in SIP

   The use of the 'shaken' PASSporT type and the claims 'attest' and
   'origid' are formally defined in [ATIS-1000074] for usage in SIP
   [RFC3261] aligned with the use of the identity header defined in
   [RFC8224].

8.  Order of Claim Keys

   The order of the claim keys MUST follow the rules of [RFC8225]
   Section 9 and be in lexixgraphic order.  Therefore, the claim keys
   MUST appear in the PASSporT Payload in the following order,

   o  attest

   o  dest

   o  iat

   o  orig

   o  origid

9.  IANA Considerations

9.1.  JSON Web Token claims

   This specification requests that the IANA add two new claims to the
   JSON Web Token Claims registry as defined in [RFC7519].
