Abstract

    This document describes the URLAUTH extension to the Internet
    Message Access Protocol (IMAP) (RFC 3501) and the IMAP URL Scheme
    (IMAPURL) (RFC 2192).  This extension provides a means by which an
    IMAP client can use URLs carrying authorization to access limited
    message data on the IMAP server.

    An IMAP server which supports this extension indicates this with a
    capability name of "URLAUTH".


Conventions Used in this Document

    The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", and "MAY"
    in this document are to be interpreted as defined in [KEYWORDS].

    The formal syntax uses the Augmented Backus-Naur Form (ABNF)
    notation including the core rules defined in Appendix A of [ABNF].

    In examples, "C:" and "S:" indicate lines sent by the client and
    server respectively.  If a single "C:" or "S:" label applies to
    multiple lines, then the line breaks between those lines are for
    editorial clarity only and are not part of the actual protocol
    exchange.


Introduction

    In [IMAPURL], a URL of the form imap://fred@example.com/INBOX/;uid=20
    requires authorization as userid "fred".

    The URLAUTH extension provides a means by which an authorized user of an
    IMAP server can create URLAUTH authorized IMAP URLs.  A URLAUTH
    authorized URL conveys authorization (not authentication) to the data
    addressed by that URL, and can be used in another IMAP session to access
    specific content on the IMAP server without otherwise providing
    authorization to any other data owned by the authorizing user (including
    other data in the mailbox specified in the URL).

    A URLAUTH authorized URL can be used in the argument to the BURL command
    in message composition, as described in [BURL], for such purposes as a
    memory (or other resource) constrainted client submitting a message
    forward or resend from an IMAP mailbox without requiring the client to
    fetch that message data.

    The URLAUTH is generated using an authorization mechanism name and an
    authorization token, which is generated using a secret mailbox
    access key.  An IMAP client can request the server to generate and
    assign a new mailbox access key (thus effectively revoking all current
    URLs using URLAUTH with the old mailbox access key) but can not set the
    mailbox access key to a key of its own choosing.


1. Concepts

1.1. URLAUTH

    The URLAUTH is a component, appended at the end of a URL, which conveys
    authorization to access the data addressed by that URL.  It contains an
    authorized access identifier, an authorization mechanism name, and an
    authorization token which is generated from the URL, the authorized access
    identifer, authorization mechanism name, and a mailbox access key.

1.2. Mailbox Access Key

    The mailbox access key is a random string with at least 128 bits of
    entropy.  It is generated by software (not by the human user), and MUST
    be unpredictable.

    Each user has a table of mailboxes and an associated mailbox access key
    for each mailbox.  Consequently, the mailbox access key is per-user and
    per-mailbox.  In other words, two users sharing the same mailbox each have
    a different mailbox access key for that mailbox; and each mailbox accessed
    by a single user also has a different mailbox access key.

1.3. Authorized Access Identifier

    The authorized access identifier restricts use of the URLAUTH authorized
    URL to certain users authorized on the server, as described in section 2.

1.4. Authorization Mechanism

    The authorization mechanism is the algorithm by which the URLAUTH is
    generated and subsequently verified, using the mailbox access key.

    This specification defines the INTERNAL mechanism, which uses a token
    generation algorithm of the server's choosing (a modern and reasonably
    secure [HMAC] such as HMAC-SHA1 is recommended) and does not involve
    disclosure of the mailbox access key to the client.

       Note: If, for any reason, it is necesary to change the token
       generation algorithm of the INTERNAL mechanism (e.g. because an
       attack against the current algorithm has been discovered), all
       currently existing URLAUTH authorized URLs are invalidated by the
       change in algorithm.  Since this would be an unpleasant surprise
       to applications which depend upon the validity of a URLAUTH
       authorized URL, and there is no good way to do a bulk update of
       existing deployed URLs, it is best to avoid this situation by
       using a secure algorithm as opposed to one that is "good enough".

    Although this specification is extensible for other mechanisms, none
    are defined in this document.  In addition to the mechanism name itself,
    other mechanisms may have mechanism specific data, which is to be
    interpreted according to the definition of that mechanism.

1.5. Authorization Token

    The authorization token is a deterministic string of at least 128 bits
    which an entity with knowledge of the secret mailbox access key and URL
    authorization mechanism can use to verify the URL.


2. IMAP URL Extensions

    [IMAPURL] is extended by allowing the addition of ;EXPIRE=<datetime>"
    and ";URLAUTH=<access>:<mech>:<token>" to IMAP URLs which refer to
    specific message or message parts.

    ";URLAUTH=<access>:<mech>:<token>" (the URLAUTH) MUST be at the end of
    the URL.

    URLAUTH does not apply to, and MUST NOT be used with, any IMAP URL which
    refers to an entire IMAP server, list of mailboxes, an entire IMAP
    mailbox, or IMAP search results.

    When ";EXPIRE=<datetime>" is used, this indicates the latest date and
    time that the URL is valid.  After that date and time, the URL has
    expired and server implementations MUST reject the URL.  If
    ";EXPIRE=<datetime>" is not used, the URL has no expiration, but still
    can be revoked as discussed below.

    ";URLAUTH=<access>:<mech>:<token>" indicates the access identifiers
    which are permitted to use this URL, the authorization mechanism, and
    the authorization token.

    The "submit+" access identifier, followed by a userid, indicates that
    only a userid authorized as a message submission entity on behalf of the
    specified userid is permitted to use this URL.  The IMAP server does not
    validate the specified userid but does validate that the IMAP session
    has an authorization identity that is authorized as a message submission
    entity.  The authorized message submission entity MUST validate the
    userid prior to contacting the IMAP server.

    The "user+" access identifier, followed by a userid, indicates that use
    of this URL is limited to IMAP sessions which are logged in as the
    specified userid (that is, have authorization identity as that userid).

       Note: if a SASL mechanism which provides both authorization and
       authentication identifiers is used to authenticate to the IMAP
       server, the "user+" access identifier must match the authorization
       identifier.

    The "authuser" access identifier indicates that use of this URL is
    limited to IMAP sessions which are logged in as an authorized user
    (that is, have authorization identity as an authorized user) of that
    IMAP server.  Use of this URL is prohibited to anonymous IMAP sessions.

    The "anonymous" access identifier indicates that use of this URL is
    not restricted by session authorization identity; that is, any IMAP
    session in authenticated or selected state (as defined in [IMAP]) may
    issue a URLFETCH using this URL including anonymous sessions.

    The authorization token is represented as an ASCII-encoded hexadecimal
    string, which is used to authorize the URL.  The length and the
    calculation of the authorization token depends upon the mechanism used;
    but in all cases the authorization token is at least 128 bits (and
    therefore at least 32 hexadecimal digits).


3. Discussion of URLAUTH Authorization Issues

    In [IMAPURL], the userid before the "@" in the URL has two purposes:
       1) It provides context for user-specific mailbox paths such
          as "INBOX".
       2) It specifies that resolution of the URL requires logging in as
          that user and limits use of that URL to only that user.
    An obvious limitation of using the same field for both purposes is that
    the URL can only be resolved by the mailbox owner.

    URLAUTH overrides the second purpose of the userid in the IMAP URL and
    by default permits the URL to be resolved by any user permitted by the
    access identifier.

    The "user+<userid>" access identifier limits resolution of that URL to a
    particular userid, whereas the "submit+<userid>" access identifier is
    more general and simply requires the session be authorized by a user
    that has been granted a "submit" role within the authentication system.
    Use of either of these access identifiers makes it impossible for an
    attacker, spying on the session, to use the same URL, either directly
    or by submission to a message submission entity.

    The "authuser" and "anonymous" access identifiers do not have this
    level protection, and should be used with caution.  These access
    identifiers are primarily useful for public export of data from an IMAP
    server, without requiring that it be copied to a web or anonymous FTP
    server.  Refer to the Security Considerations for more details.


4. Generation of URLAUTH authorized URLs

    A URLAUTH authorized URL is generated from an initial URL as follows.

    An initial URL is built, ending with ";URLAUTH=<access>" but without the
    ":<mech>:<token>" components.  An authorization mechanism is selected
    and used to calculate the authorization token, with the initial URL as
    the data and a secret known to the IMAP server as the key.  The URLAUTH
    authorized URL is generated by taking the initial URL and appending ":",
    the URL authorization mechanism name, ":", and the ASCII-encoded
    hexadecimal representation of the authorization token.

       Note: ASCII-encoded hexadecimal is used instead of BASE64 because a
       BASE64 representation may have "=" padding characters which would be
       problematic in a URL.

    In the INTERNAL mechanism, the mailbox access key for that mailbox is
    the secret known to the IMAP server, and a server-selected algorithm
    such as HMAC-SHA1 is used to to calculate the authorization token.


5. Validation of URLAUTH authorized URLs

    A URLAUTH authorized URL is validated as follows.

    The URL is split at the ":" which separates "<access>" from
    "<mech>:<token>" in the ";URLAUTH=<access>:<mech>:<token>" portion of
    the URL.  The "<mech>:<token>" portion is first parsed and saved as the
    authorization mechanism and the authorization token.  The URL is
    truncated, discarding the ":" described above, to create a "rump URL"
    (the URL minus the ":" and the "<mech>:<token>" portion).  The rump URL
    is then analyzed to identify the mailbox.

    If the mailbox cannot be identified, an authorization token is
    calculated on the rump URL, using random "plausible" keys (selected by
    the server) as needed, before returning a validation failure.  This
    prevents timing attacks aimed at identifying mailbox names.

    If the mailbox can be identified, the authorization token is calculated
    on the rump URL and a secret known to the IMAP server using the given
    URL authorization mechanism.  Validation is successful if, and only if,
    the calculated authorization token for that mechanism matches the
    authorization token supplied in ";URLAUTH=<access>:<mech>:<token>".

    Removal of the ":<mech>:<token>" portion of the URL MUST be the only
    operation applied to the URLAUTH authorized URL to get the rump URL.  In
    particular, URL percent escape decoding and case-folding MUST NOT occur.

    In the INTERNAL mechanism, the mailbox access key for that mailbox is
    used as the secret known to the IMAP server, and the same
    server-selected algorithm used for generating URLs is used to calculate
    the authorization token for verification.


6. Additional Commands

    These commands are extension to the [IMAP] base protocol.

    The section headings of these commands are intended to correspond with
    where they would be located in the base protocol document if they were
    part of that document.

BASE.6.3.RESETKEY.  RESETKEY Command

    Arguments:  optional mailbox name
                optional mechanism name(s)

    Responses:  none other than in result

    Result:     OK - RESETKEY completed, URLMECH containing new data
                NO - RESETKEY error: can't change key of that mailbox
                BAD - command unknown or arguments invalid

    The RESETKEY command has two forms.

    The first form accepts a mailbox name as an argument, and generates
    a new mailbox access key for the given mailbox in the user's
    mailbox access key table, replacing any previous mailbox access key
    (and revoking any URLs that were authorized with a URLAUTH using
    that key) in that table.  By default, the mailbox access key is
    generated for the INTERNAL mechanism; other mechanisms can be
    specified with the optional mechanism argument.

    The second form, with no arguments, removes all mailbox access keys
    in the user's mailbox access key table, revoking all URLs currently
    authorized using URLAUTH by the user.

    Any current IMAP session logged in as the user which has the mailbox
    selected will receive an untagged OK response with the URLMECH
    status response code (see below for more details about the URLMECH
    status response code).

    Example:

       C: a31 RESETKEY
       S: a31 OK All keys removed
       C: a32 RESETKEY INBOX
       S: a32 OK [URLMECH INTERNAL] mechs
       C: a33 RESETKEY INBOX XSAMPLE
       S: a33 OK [URLMECH INTERNAL XSAMPLE=P34OKhO7VEkCbsiYY8rGEg==] mechs


BASE.6.3.GENURLAUTH.  GENURLAUTH Command

    Argument:   one or more URL/mechanism pairs

    Response:   untagged response: GENURLAUTH

    Result:     OK - GENURLAUTH completed
                NO - GENURLAUTH error: can't generate a URLAUTH
                BAD - command unknown or arguments invalid

    The GENURLAUTH command requests the server to generate a URLAUTH
    authorized URL for each of the given URLs using the given URL
    authorization mechanism.

    If there is currently no mailbox access key for the given mailbox
    in the user's mailbox access key table, one is automatically
    generated.  That is, it is not necessary to use RESETKEY prior to
    first-time use of GENURLAUTH.

    If the command is successful, a GENURLAUTH response code is returned
    listing the requested URLs as URLAUTH authorized URLs.

    Example:

       C: a777 GENURLAUTH "imap://joe@example.com/INBOX/;uid=20/;section=1.2
          ;urlauth=submit+fred" INTERNAL
       S: * GENURLAUTH "imap://joe@example.com/INBOX/;uid=20/;section=1.2
          ;urlauth=submit+fred:internal:91354a473744909de610943775f92038"
       S: a777 OK GENURLAUTH completed


BASE.6.3.URLFETCH.  URLFETCH Command

    Argument:   one or more URLs

    Response:   untagged response: URLFETCH

    Result:     OK - urlfetch completed
                NO - urlfetch failed due to server internal error
                BAD - command unknown or arguments invalid

    The URLFETCH command requests that the server return the text data
    associated with the specified IMAP URLs, as described in [IMAPURL] and
    extended by this document.  The data is returned for all validated URLs,
    regardless of whether or not the session would otherwise be able to
    access the mailbox containing that data via SELECT or EXAMINE.

       Note: This command does not require that the URL refer to the
       selected mailbox; nor does it require that any mailbox be
       selected.  It also does not in any way interfere with any selected
       mailbox.

    The URLFETCH command MUST return an untagged URLFETCH response and
    a tagged OK response to any URLFETCH command that is syntactically
    valid.  A NO response indicates a server internal failure which may
    be resolved on later retry.

       Note: the possibility of a NO response is to accommodate
       implementations which would otherwise have to issue an
       untagged BYE with a fatal error due to an inability to
       respond to a valid request.  In an ideal world, a server
       SHOULD NOT issue a NO response.

    The server MUST return NIL for any IMAP URL which references an
    entire IMAP server, list of mailboxes, an entire IMAP mailbox, or
    IMAP search results.

    Example

       Note: for clarity, this example uses the LOGIN command which SHOULD
       NOT be used over a non-encrypted communication path.

       This example is of a submit server, obtaining a message segment for
       a message that it has already validated was submitted by "fred".

       S: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 URLAUTH] example.com IMAP server ready
       C: a001 LOGIN submitserver secret
       S: a001 OK submitserver logged in
       C: a002 URLFETCH "imap://joe@example.com/INBOX/;uid=20/;section=1.2
          ;urlauth=submit+fred:internal:91354a473744909de610943775f92038"
       S: * URLFETCH "imap://joe@example.com/INBOX/;uid=20/;section=1.2
          ;urlauth=submit+fred:internal:91354a473744909de610943775f92038" {28}
       S: Si vis pacem, para bellum.
       S:
       S: a002 OK URLFETCH completed


7. Additional Responses

    These responses are extensions to the [IMAP] base protocol.

    The section headings of these responses are intended to correspond with
    where they would be located in the base protocol document if they were
    part of that document.

BASE.7.1.URLMECH.  URLMECH Status Response Code

    The URLMECH status response code is followed by a list of URL authorization
    mechanism names.  Mechanism names other than INTERNAL may be appended
    with an "=" and BASE64 encoded form of mechanism specific data.

    This status response code is returned in an untagged OK response in
    response to a RESETKEY, SELECT, or EXAMINE command.

    Example:

       C: a33 RESETKEY INBOX XSAMPLE
       S: a33 OK [URLMECH INTERNAL XSAMPLE=P34OKhO7VEkCbsiYY8rGEg==] mechs

    In this example, the server supports the INTERNAL mechanism and an
    experimental mechanism called XSAMPLE which also holds some mechanism
    specific data (the name "XSAMPLE" is for illustrative purposes only).


BASE.7.4.GENURLAUTH.   GENURLAUTH Response

    Contents:   One or more URLs

    The GENURLAUTH response returns the URLAUTH authorized URL(s)
    requested by a GENURLAUTH command.

    Example:

       C: a777 GENURLAUTH "imap://joe@example.com/INBOX/;uid=20/;section=1.2
          ;urlauth=submit+fred" INTERNAL
       S: * GENURLAUTH "imap://joe@example.com/INBOX/;uid=20/;section=1.2
          ;urlauth=submit+fred:internal:91354a473744909de610943775f92038"
       S: a777 OK GENURLAUTH completed


BASE.7.4.URLFETCH.  URLFETCH Response

    Contents:   URL/nstring pair

    The URLFETCH response returns the message text data associated with an
    IMAP URLs, as described in [IMAPURL] and extended by this document.
    This response occurs as the result of a URLFETCH command.

    The returned data string is NIL if the URL is invalid for any reason
    (including validation failure).  If the URL is valid, but the IMAP
    fetch of the body part returned NIL (this should not happen), the
    returned data string should be the empty string ("") and not NIL.

       Note: This command does not require that the URL refer to the
       selected mailbox; nor does it require that any mailbox be
       selected.  It also does not in any way interfere with any selected
       mailbox.

    Example:

       C: a002 URLFETCH "imap://joe@example.com/INBOX/;uid=20/;section=1.2
          ;urlauth=submit+fred:internal:91354a473744909de610943775f92038"
       S: * URLFETCH "imap://joe@example.com/INBOX/;uid=20/;section=1.2
          ;urlauth=submit+fred:internal:91354a473744909de610943775f92038" {28}
       S: Si vis pacem, para bellum.
       S:
       S: a002 OK URLFETCH completed

8. Formal Syntax

    The following syntax specification uses the Augmented Backus-Naur
    Form (ABNF) notation as specified in [ABNF].

    The following modifications are made to the Formal Syntax in [IMAP]:

resetkey        = "RESETKEY" [SP mailbox *(SP mechanism)]

command-auth    =/ resetkey / genurlauth / urlfetch

resp-text-code  =/ "URLMECH" SP "INTERNAL" *(SP mechanism ["=" base64])

genurlauth      = "GENURLAUTH" 1*(SP url SP mechanism)

genurlauth-data = "*" SP "GENURLAUTH" 1*(SP url)

url             = astring
                    ; contains imapurl as defined below

urlfetch        = "URLFETCH" 1*(SP url)

urlfetch-data   = "*" SP "URLFETCH" 1*(SP url SP nstring)

    The following modifications are made to the Formal Syntax in [IMAPURL]:

enc-urlauth     = 32*HEXDIG

imessagepart    = enc_mailbox [uidvalidity] iuid [isection] [iurlauth]

iurlauth        = [expire] ";URLAUTH=" access ":" mechanism ":" enc-urlauth

access          = ("submit+" iuserauth) / ("user+" iuserauth) /
                   "authuser" / "anonymous"

expire          = ";EXPIRE=" date-time
                     ; date-time defined in [DATETIME]

mechanism       = "INTERNAL" / 1*(alpha / digit / "-" / ".")
                    ; case-insensitive
                    ; new mechanisms MUST be registered with IANA


9. Security Considerations

    Security considerations are discussed throughout this memo.

    The mailbox access key SHOULD have at least 128 bits of entropy (refer
    to [RANDOM] for more details) and MUST be unpredictable.

    The URLMECH status response code may expose sensitive data in the
    mechanism specific data for mechanisms other than INTERNAL.  A server
    implementation MUST implement a configuration that will not return
    a URLMECH status response code unless some mechanism is provided
    that protects the session from snooping, such as a TLS or SASL
    security layer that provides confidentiality protection.

    The calculation of a authorization token with a "plausible" key if the
    mailbox can not be identified is necessary to avoid attacks in which the
    server is probed to see if a particular mailbox exists on the server by
    measuring the amount of time taken to reject a known bad name vs. some
    other name.

    To protect against a computational denial-of-service attack, a server
    MAY impose progressively longer delays on multiple URL requests that
    fail validation.

    The decision to use the "authuser" access identifier should be made
    with caution.  An "authuser" access identifier can be used by any
    authorized user of the IMAP server; and therefore use of this access
    identifier should be limited to content which may be disclosed to any
    authorized user of the IMAP server.

    The decision to use the "anonymous" access identifier should be made
    with extreme caution.  An "anonymous" access identifier can be used by
    anyone; and therefore use of this access identifier should be limited
    to content which may be disclosed to anonymous.  Many IMAP servers do
    not permit anonymous access; in the case of such servers the
    "anonymous" access identifer is equivalent to "authuser", but this
    MUST NOT be relied upon.


IANA Considerations

    This document consitutes registration of the URLAUTH capability in
    the imap4-capabilities registry.

    URLAUTH authorization mechanisms are registered by publishing a
    standards track or IESG approved experimental RFC.  The registry is
    currently located at:

         [to be defined by IANA]

    This registry is case-insensitive.

    This document consitutes registration of the INTERNAL URLAUTH
    authorization mechanism.
