1. Introduction
While it is possible to transmit highly sensitive documents using
traditional telephony encryption devices, secure fax on the Public
Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) was never widely considered or
prioritized. This was mainly because of the challenges involved with
malevolent physical access to telephony equipment. As real-time
communications transition to IP networks, where information might
potentially be intercepted or spoofed, an appropriate level of
security for fax that offers integrity and confidentiality protection
is vital.
The overwhelmingly predominant fax transport protocol is UDPTL-based
[ITU.T38.2010]. The protocol stack for fax transport using UDPTL is
shown in Table 1.

Table 1: Protocol stack for UDPTL over UDP
Implementations exist today for securing this fax transport type.
Some of these mechanisms are:
o [ITU.T30.2005] Annex H specifies integrity and confidentiality
protection of fax in the application layer, independent of
protocol for fax transport.
o [ITU.T38.2010] specifies fax transport over RTP/SAVP which enables
integrity and confidentiality protection of fax in IP network.
Despite these mechanisms to secure fax, there is no transport layer
security offering integrity and confidentiality protection for UDPTL.
This issue was addressed in a study by the 3rd Generation Partnership
Project (3GPP) on how to provide secure fax in the IP Multimedia
Subsystem (IMS). They concluded that secure fax shall be transported
using UDPTL over DTLS.
This document specifies fax transport using UDPTL over DTLS
[RFC6347], which enables integrity and confidentiality protection of
fax in IP networks. The protocol stack which enhances fax transport
to offer integrity and confidentiality using UDPTL over DTLS is shown
in Table 2.

Internet-Draft UDPTL over DTLS February 2014
The primary motivations for the mechanism in this document are:
o The design of DTLS [RFC6347] is clearly defined, well understood
and implementations are widely available.
o No DTLS extensions are required in order to enable UDPTL transport
over DTLS.
o Fax transport using UDPTL over DTLS only requires insertion of the
DTLS layer between the UDPTL layer and the UDP layer, as shown in
Table 2. The UDPTL layer and layers above UDPTL layer require no
modification.
o UDPTL [ITU.T38.2010] is by far the most widely deployed fax
transport protocol in IP networks.
o 3GPP and the IP fax community need a mechanism to transport UDPTL
over DTLS in order to provide secure fax in IMS and other SIP-
based networks.
This document specifies the transport of UDPTL over DTLS using the
DTLS record layer "application_data" packets [RFC5246] [RFC6347].
Since the DTLS record layer "application_data" packet does not
indicate whether it carries UDPTL, or some other protocol, the usage
of a dedicated DTLS association for transport of UDPTL needs to be
negotiated, e.g. using the Session Description Protocol (SDP)
[RFC4566] and the SDP offer/answer mechanism [RFC3264].
Therefore, this document specifies a new <proto> value [RFC4566] for
the SDP media description ("m=" line) [RFC3264], in order to indicate
UDPTL over DTLS in SDP messages [RFC4566].
2. Conventions
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 BCP 14, RFC 2119
[RFC2119].
DTLS uses the term "session" to refer to a long-lived set of keying
material that spans DTLS associations. In this document, in order to
be consistent with SIP/SDP usage of "session" terminology, we use
"session" to refer to a multimedia session and use the term "DTLS
session" to refer to the DTLS construct. We use the term "DTLS
association" to refer to a particular DTLS cipher suite and keying
material set that is associated with a single host/port quartet. The
same DTLS session can be used to establish the keying material for
multiple DTLS associations. For consistency with other SIP/SDP
usage, we use the term "connection" when what's being referred to is
a multimedia stream that is not specifically DTLS.

Internet-Draft UDPTL over DTLS February 2014
3. Secure Channel
3.1. Secure Channel Establishment
The SDP offer/answer mechanism [RFC3264] is used by other protocols,
e.g. the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) [RFC3261], to negotiate
and establish multimedia sessions.
In addition to the usual contents of an SDP media description ("m="
line) specified for UDPTL over UDP, each SDP media description for
UDPTL over DTLS over UDP will also contain several SDP attributes,
which were introduced in the context of TCP [RFC4145] and TLS
[RFC4572], and are re-used in this document.
The SDP offer and the SDP answer MUST conform to the following
requirements:
o The endpoint MUST set the "proto" field of the "m=" line to the
token specified in Table 3.
o In order to negotiate the TLS roles, the endpoint MUST use the SDP
setup attribute [RFC4145]. The offerer SHOULD assign the SDP
setup attribute with a setup:actpass value, and MAY assign the SDP
setup attribute with a setup:active value or setup:passive value.
The offerer MUST NOT assign the SDP setup attribute with a
setup:holdconn value. If the offerer assigns the SDP setup
attribute with a setup:actpass value or setup:passive value, it
MUST be prepared to receive a DTLS client_hello message before it
receives the SDP answer. If the answerer accepts the media
stream, then it MUST assign the SDP setup attribute with either a
setup:active value or setup:passive value, according to the
procedures in [RFC4145]. The answerer MUST NOT assign an SDP
setup attribute with a setup:holdconn value. Whichever party is
active, it MUST initiate a DTLS handshake by sending a ClientHello
over each flow (host/port quartet).
o If the endpoint supports, and is willing to use, a cipher suite
with an associated certificate, it MUST include an SDP fingerprint
attribute [RFC4572] in the SDP.
o If a cipher suite with an associated certificate is selected
during the DTLS handshake, the certificate received during the
DTLS handshake MUST match the fingerprint received in the SDP
fingerprint attribute. If the fingerprint does not match the
hashed certificate, then the endpoint MUST tear down the media
session immediately. Note that it is permissible to wait until
the other side's fingerprint has been received before establishing
the connection; however, this may have undesirable latency
effects.
o The endpoint MUST NOT use the SDP connection attribute [RFC4145].
Holmberg, et al. Expires August 5, 2014 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft UDPTL over DTLS February 2014
3.2. Secure Channel Usage
DTLS is used as specified in [RFC6347]. Once the DTLS handshake is
successfully completed (in order to prevent facsimile data from being
transmitted insecurely), the UDPTL packets SHALL be transported in
DTLS record layer "application_data" packets.
4. Miscellaneous Considerations
4.1. Anonymous Calls
When making anonymous calls, a new self-signed certificate SHOULD be
used for each call and attributes inside the certificate SHALL NOT
contain information that either allows correlation or identification
of the user making anonymous calls. This is particularly important
for the subjectAltName and commonName attributes.
4.2. Middlebox Interaction
4.2.1. NAT Traversal With ICE
When ICE [RFC5245] is being used, the ICE connectivity checks are
performed before the DTLS handshake begins. Note that if aggressive
nomination mode is used, multiple candidate pairs may be marked valid
before ICE finally converges on a single candidate pair. UAs MUST
treat all ICE candidate pairs associated with a single component as
part of the same DTLS association. Thus, there will be only one DTLS
handshake even if there are multiple valid candidate pairs. Note
that this may mean adjusting the endpoint IP addresses if the
selected candidate pair shifts, just as if the DTLS packets were an
ordinary media stream.
4.2.2. NAT Traversal Without ICE
When ICE [RFC5245] is not being used and the DTLS handshake has not
completed upon receiving the other side's SDP, then the passive side
MUST do a single unauthenticated STUN [RFC5389] connectivity check in
order to open up the appropriate pinhole. All UAs MUST be prepared
to answer this request during the handshake period even if they do
not otherwise do ICE. However, the active side MUST proceed with the
DTLS handshake as appropriate even if no such STUN check is received
and the passive side MUST NOT wait for a STUN answer before sending
its ServerHello.
Holmberg, et al. Expires August 5, 2014 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft UDPTL over DTLS February 2014
4.2.3. STUN Interaction
The UA SHALL send the STUN packets [RFC5389] directly over UDP, not
over DTLS.
The UA MUST demultiplex packets arriving on the IP address and port
associated with the DTLS association, e.g. as follows:
o If the value of the first byte of the packet is 0 or 1, then the
packet is STUN.
o If the value of the first byte of the packet is between 20 and 63
(inclusive), the packet is DTLS.
4.3. Rekeying
After the DTLS handshake caused by rekeying has completed, because of
possible packet reordering on the wire, packets protected by the
previous set of keys can arrive. To compensate for this fact,
receivers MUST maintain both sets of keys for some time in order to
be able to decrypt and verify older packets. The duration of
maintaining the previous set of keys after the finish of the DTLS
handshake is out of scope for this document.
5. Security Considerations
Fax may be used to transmit a wide range of sensitive data, including
personal, corporate, and governmental information. It is therefore
critical to be able to protect against threats to the confidentiality
and integrity of the transmitted data.
The mechanism in this document provides integrity and confidentiality
protection for fax by specifying fax transport using UDPTL over DTLS
[RFC6347].
DTLS media signaled with SIP requires a mechanism to ensure that the
communicating peers' certificates are correct.
The standard DTLS strategy for authenticating the communicating
parties is to give the server (and optionally the client) a PKIX
[RFC5280] certificate. The client then verifies the certificate and
checks that the name in the certificate matches the server's domain
name. This works because there are a relatively small number of
servers with well-defined names; a situation that does not usually
occur in the VoIP context.
The design described in this document is intended to leverage the
authenticity of the signaling channel (while not requiring
confidentiality). As long as each side of the connection can verify
Holmberg, et al. Expires August 5, 2014 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft UDPTL over DTLS February 2014
the integrity of the SDP received from the other side, then the DTLS
handshake cannot be hijacked via a man-in-the-middle attack. This
integrity protection is easily provided by the caller to the callee
via the SIP Identity [RFC4474] mechanism. Other mechanisms, such as
the S/MIME mechanism [RFC3261], or perhaps future mechanisms yet to
be specified could also serve this purpose.
While this mechanism can still be used without such integrity
mechanisms, the security provided is limited to defense against
passive attack by intermediaries. An active attack on the signaling
plus an active attack on the media plane can allow an attacker to
attack the connection (R-SIG-MEDIA in the notation of [RFC5479]).
6. IANA Considerations
This document updates the "Session Description Protocol (SDP)
Parameters" registry as specified in Section 8.2.2 of [RFC4566].
Specifically, it adds the values in Table 3 to the table for the SDP
"proto" field registry.
+-------+-----------------+------------+
| Type | SDP Name | Reference |
+-------+-----------------+------------+
| proto | "UDP/TLS/UDPTL" | [RFC-XXXX] |

Appendix A. Examples
A.1. General
Prior to establishing the session, both Alice and Bob generate self-
signed certificates which are used for a single session or, more
likely, reused for multiple sessions.
The SIP signaling from Alice to her proxy is transported over TLS to
ensure an integrity protected channel between Alice and her identity
service. Alice's identity service asserts identity of Alice and
Holmberg, et al. Expires August 5, 2014 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft UDPTL over DTLS February 2014
protects the SIP message, e.g. using SIP Identity. Transport between
proxies should also be protected somehow.
Only one element is shown for Alice's and Bob's proxies for the
purposes of simplification.
For the sake of brevity and simplicity, only the mandatory SDP T.38
attributes are shown.
A.2. Basic Message Flow
Figure 1 shows an example message flow of session establishment for
T.38 fax securely transported using UDPTL over DTLS.
In this example flow, Alice acts as the passive endpoint of the DTLS
association and Bob acts as the active endpoint of the DTLS
association.

Internet-Draft UDPTL over DTLS February 2014
When Bob receives the certificate of Alice via DTLS, Bob checks
whether the certificate fingerprint calculated from Alice's
certificate received via DTLS matches the certificate fingerprint
received in the a=fingerprint SDP attribute of Figure 3. In this
message flow, the check is successful and thus session setup
continues.
Message (5):
Figure 4 shows a SIP 200 (OK) response to the initial SIP INVITE
request, sent by Bob to Bob's proxy. The SIP 200 (OK) response
contains an SDP answer.
The "m=" line in the SDP answer indicates T.38 fax using UDPTL
over DTLS.
The SDP setup:active attribute in the SDP answer indicates that
Bob has requested to be the active endpoint.
The SDP fingerprint attribute in the SDP answer contains the
certificate fingerprint computed from Bob's self-signed
certificate.

A.3. Message Flow Of T.38 Fax Replacing Audio Media Stream in An
Existing Audio-Only Session
Traditionally, most sessions with non-secure transport of T.38 fax,
transported using UDPTL, are established by modifying an ongoing
audio session into a fax session. Figure 6 shows an example message
flow of modifying an existing audio session into a session with T.38
fax securely transported using UDPTL over DTLS.

In this example flow, Alice acts as the passive endpoint of the DTLS
association and Bob acts as the active endpoint of the DTLS
association.

Message (1):
Session establishment of audio-only session. The proxies decide
not to record-route.
Message (2):
Alice sends SIP re-INVITE request. The SDP offer included in the
SIP re-INVITE request is shown in Figure 7.
The first "m=" line in the SDP offer indicates audio media stream
being removed. The second "m=" line in the SDP offer indicates
T.38 fax using UDPTL over DTLS being added.
The SDP setup:actpass attribute in the SDP offer indicates that
Alice has requested to be either the active or passive endpoint.
