SIP Call-Info Parameters for Rich Call Data
draft-ietf-sipcore-callinfo-rcd-02
Abstract
This document describes a SIP Call-Info header field usage defined to
include rich data associated with the identity of the calling party
that can be rendered to a called party for providing more useful
information about the caller or the specific reason for the call.
This includes extended comprehensive information about the caller
such as what a jCard object can represent for describing the calling
party or other call specific information such as describing the
reason or intent of the call. The elements defined for this purpose
are intended to be extensible to accommodate related information
about calls that helps people decide whether to pick up the phone and
additionally, with the use of jCard and other elements, to be
compatible with the STIR/PASSporT Rich Call Data framework.

1. Introduction
Traditional telephone network signaling protocols have long supported
delivering a 'calling name' from the originating side, though in
practice, the terminating side is often left to derive a name from
the calling party number by consulting a local address book or an
external database. SIP similarly can carry a 'display-name' in the
From header field value from the originating to terminating side,
though it is an unsecured field that is not commonly trusted. The
same is true of information in the Call-Info header field.
To allow calling parties to initiate, and called parties to receive,
a more comprehensive, deterministic, and extensible rich call data
for incoming calls, we describe new tokens for the SIP [RFC3261]
Call-Info header field and a corresponding "purpose" parameter. We
also define a new parameter of Call-Info designed for carrying a
"reason" value. For this document, depending on the policies of the
communications system, calling parties could either be the end user
device or an originating service provider, and called parties could
also similarly be an end user device or the terminating service
provider acting on behalf of the recipient of the call.
Used on its own, this specification assumes that the called party
user agent can trust the SIP network or the SIP provider to deliver
the correct rich call data (RCD) information. This may not always be
the case and thus, the entity inserting the Call-Info header field
and the UAS relying on it SHOULD be part of the same trust domain
[RFC3324]. Alternatively, and likely the recommended approach, the
entity inserting the Call-Info header field should also sign the
caller information via STIR mechanisms [RFC8224] and specifically
through the [I-D.ietf-stir-passport-rcd]. This STIR signature would
likely be provided by the caller itself or the originating service
provider using an authoritative signature to authenticate the
information is from the originator and hasn't been tampered with in
transmission.
[RFC7852] provides a means of carrying additional data about callers
for the purposes of emergency services (especially its Section 4.4
Wendt & Peterson Expires August 26, 2021 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft Call-Info Rich Call Data February 2021
"Owner/Subscriber" information). This specification provides an
overlapping functionality for non-emergency cases. Rather than
overloading its "EmergencyCallData" Call-Info "purpose" parameter
value, this document defines a separate "purpose" parameter for the
more generic delivery of information via jCard [RFC7095]. This
document borrows from [RFC7852] the capability to carry a data
structure as a body, through the use of the "cid" URI scheme
[RFC2392].
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. Overview
The Call-Info header field, defined in [RFC3261] Section 20.9,
defines a purpose parameter currently with "info", "icon", and "card"
tokens. This document defines one new purpose value and one new
generic parameter for Call-Info.
The value "jcard" is to be used to associate rich call data related
to the identity of the calling party in the form of a jCard
[RFC7095]. While there is a "card" token that is already defined
with similar purpose, there are two primary reasons for the
definition and usage of jCard and the use of JSON over the XML based
vCard [RFC2426]. First, JSON has become the default and is generally
the widely accepted optimally supported format for transmission,
parsing, and manipulation of data on IP networks. Second, jCard has
also been defined in [I-D.ietf-stir-passport-rcd] and has been
adopted by PASSporT [RFC8225] because of the usage of JSON Web Tokens
(JWT) [RFC7519].
A generic parameter for "call-reason" is to be used to provide a
string or other object that is used to convey the intent or reason
the caller is calling to help the called party understand better the
context of the call and why they may want to answer the call.
4. "jcard" Call-Info Token
The use of the new Call-Info Token "jcard" is for the purpose of
supporting RCD associated with the identity of a calling party in a
SIP call [RFC3261] Section 20.9. The format of a Call-Info header
field when using the "jcard" is as follows.
Wendt & Peterson Expires August 26, 2021 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft Call-Info Rich Call Data February 2021
The Call-Info header field is defined to include a URI, where here
the resource pointed to by the URI is a jCard JSON object [RFC7095].
The web server serving this file MUST use the MIME media type for
JSON text as application/json with a default encoding of UTF-8
[RFC4627]. A jCard also MAY be carried in the body of the SIP
request bearing this Call-Info via the "cid" URI scheme [RFC2392].
Alternatively, the URI MUST define the use HTTPS or a transport that
can validate the integrity of the source of the resource as well as
the transport channel through which the resource is retrieved.
An example of a Call-Info header field is:
Call-Info: <https://example.com/qbranch.json>;purpose=jcard
An example contents of a URL linked jCard JSON file is shown as
follows:
["vcard",
[
["version",{},"text","4.0"],
["fn",{},"text","Q Branch"],
["org",{},"text","MI6;Q Branch Spy Gadgets"],
["photo",{},"uri","https://example.com/photos/q-256x256.png"],
["logo",{},"uri","https://example.com/logos/mi6-256x256.jpg"],
["logo",{},"uri","https://example.com/logos/mi6-64x64.jpg"]
]

An example SIP INVITE using the "cid" URI scheme is as follows.

5. "call-reason" Call-Info Parameter
In addition to the jCard value defined here, this specification also
defines a generic parameter of the Call-Info header called "call-
reason". The "call-reason" parameter is intended to convey a short
textual message suitable for display to an end user during call
alerting. As a general guideline, this message SHOULD be no longer
than 64 characters; displays that support this specification may be
forced to truncate messages that cannot fit onto a screen. This
message conveys the caller's intention in contacting the callee. It
is an optional parameter, and the sender of a SIP request cannot
Wendt & Peterson Expires August 26, 2021 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft Call-Info Rich Call Data February 2021
guarantee that its display will be supported by the terminating
endpoint. The manner in which this reason is set by the caller is
outside the scope of this specification.
One alternative approach would be to use the baseline [RFC3261]
Subject header field value to convey the reason for the call.
Because the Subject header has seen little historical use in SIP
implementations, however, and its specification describes its
potential use in filtering, it seems more prudent to define a new
means of carrying a call reason indication.
An example of a Call-Info header field value with the "call-reason"
parameter follows:
Call-Info: <https://example.com/jbond.json>;purpose=jcard;
call-reason="For your ears only"
One can readily imagine a need for more structured call reason data
that could be reliably processed automatically. Future versions of
this specification may explore ways to provide a structured data
object in place of a textual string to support things like
internationalization or categories of reason that can be parsed by
machines.
6. Usage of jCard and property specific usage
Beyond the definition of the specific properties or JSON arrays
associated with each property. This specification defines a few
rules above and beyond [RFC7095] specific to the use of jCard for
Call-Info and Rich Call Data making sure there is a minimum level of
supported properties that every implementation of this specification
should adhere to. This includes support for interpreting the value
of this property and the ability to render in some appropriate form
the display capabilities of common telephone devices, as well as
apps, and also includes requirements specific to either textual
displays and graphics capable displays.
6.1. Usage of URIs in jCard
When one or more URIs are used in a jCard, it is important to note
that any URI referenced data, with the exception of the top-level
usage of "jcl" as a URI to the jCard itself (unless updated by any
future extensions of this specification) MUST not contain any URI
references. In other words, the jCard can have URI references as
defined in the jCard specification and this document, but the content
referenced by those URIs MUST NOT have any URIs, and therefore MUST
be enforced by the client to fail verification or not render content
to the user if any URI are present in that specific URI linked
Wendt & Peterson Expires August 26, 2021 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft Call-Info Rich Call Data February 2021
content. The purpose of this is to control the security and more
specifically align with the content integrity mechanism defined in
[I-D.ietf-stir-passport-rcd]. It is the belief of the authors that
there isn't a scenario that deeper URI references would be required
or even supported by the current set of properties for the typical
use of jCard properties, but because jCard is extensible, this rule
is set to restrict further extension without the proper consideration
of security and integrity properties of both Call-Info usage as well
as the Rich Call Data and STIR signing of the data
[I-D.ietf-stir-passport-rcd], [RFC8224].
6.2. Usage of multimedia data in jCard
There are a few cases where jCards incorporate URIs or directly
include via Base64 encoding of digital images and sounds. We specify
a few recommended conventions to facilitate more consistent support
of the successful rendering of these images.
For images, such as for the photo and logo properties, the default
image formats should be png or jpg. These files are mostly commonly
used to support 24-bit RGB images which should consequently be the
default. There are some older telephone devices that may only
support bmp type of images with lower bit-range (e.g. 16-bit or 8-bit
or 1-bit), also with potentially only grayscale or 1-bit black and
white color displays. These exceptions are considered optional to
support.
For the cases where image files are referenced by URIs as file
resources, this document defines a character string that SHOULD be
concatenated on to the end of a file name, before the file extension
that signals the height and width of the image to the end device for
the convenience of determining the appropriate resolution to retrieve
without the need to retrieve all the image files. It is also
recommended that images are square ratio formatted with equal height
and width and with a power of two value for the number of pixels
(e.g. 32x32, 128x128, 512x512). The format of the string should be
"filename-HxW" where filename represents the unique string
representing the file and H represents the height in pixels and W
represents the width in pixels. If the file is not to be rendered
using the default 24-bit RGB pixel format, additionally the string
can be extended to include bit depth and number of colors. That
string should be formatted as "filename-HxW-bd-c", where bd is the
bit depth (e.g. 1, 8, 16) and c represents number of color channels
which should either be 1 or 3. Note: 32-bit/RGBA color format is
specifically not recommended for this document because transparency
would not be clear how to render for display.
Wendt & Peterson Expires August 26, 2021 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft Call-Info Rich Call Data February 2021
For audio files, the recommendation is to provide mp3, m4a, or wav
files, although the usage of sound is not well defined in this
specification as, for example, a special ring tone for a particular
caller, and future documents should consider both usage and potential
security risks of playing sounds that are not specifically authorized
by a device user.
6.3. Cardinality
Property cardinalities are indicated, for convenience, using the
following notation and follow the guidance of jCard [RFC7095] and
vCard [RFC6350], which is based on ABNF (see [RFC5234], Section 3.6):
+-------------+--------------------------------------------------+
| Cardinality | Meaning |
+-------------+--------------------------------------------------+
| 1 | Exactly one instance per jCard MUST be present. |
| *1 | Exactly one instance per jCard MAY be present. |
| 1* | One or more instances per jCard MUST be present. |
| * | One or more instances per jCard MAY be present. |
+-------------+--------------------------------------------------+
6.4. Identification properties
These types are used to capture information associated with the
identification and naming of the entity associated with the jCard.
They are initially defined in [RFC6350], but the following list of
properties included and repeated in this Section is a subset of the
properties defined for jCard with properties selected for this
document that have relevance to telephone and messaging applications.
jCard is an extensible object and therefore, there may also be future
specifications that extend the set of properties that may be relevant
to the set of communications applications that utilize this
specification.
6.4.1. "fn" property
The "fn" property has the intent of providing a formatted text
corresponding to the name of the object the jCard represents.
Reference [RFC6350] Section 6.2.1.
Value type: A single text value.
Cardinality: 1*
Example:
["fn", {}, "text", "Mr. John Q. Public\, Esq."]
Wendt & Peterson Expires August 26, 2021 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft Call-Info Rich Call Data February 2021
6.4.2. "n" property
The "n" property has the intent of providing the components of the
name of the object the jCard represents. Reference [RFC6350]
Section 6.2.2.
Value type: A single structured text value. Each component can have
multiple values.
Cardinality: *1
Example:
["n", {}, "text", "Public;John;Quinlan;Mr.;Esq."]
["n", {}, "text", "Stevenson;John;Philip,Paul;Dr.;Jr.,M.D.,A.C.P."]
6.4.3. "nickname" property
The "nickname" property has the intent of providing the text
corresponding to the nickname of the object the jCard represents.
Reference [RFC6350] Section 6.2.3.
Value type: One or more text values separated by a COMMA character
(U+002C).
Cardinality: *
Example:
["nickname", {}, "text", "Robbie"]
["nickname", {}, "text", "Jim,Jimmie"]
["nickname", {}, "text", "TYPE=work:Boss"]
6.4.4. "photo" property
The "photo" property has the intent of supplying an image or
photograph information that annotates some aspect of the object the
jCard represents. Reference [RFC6350] Section 6.2.4.
In addition to the definition of jCard, and to promote
interoperability and proper formatting and rendering of images, the
photo SHOULD correspond to a square image size of the sizes 128x128,
256x256, 512x512, or 1024x1024 pixels.
Value type: A single URI.
Cardinality: *
Example:
["photo", {}, "uri", "http://www.example.com/jqpublic-256x256.png"]
Wendt & Peterson Expires August 26, 2021 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft Call-Info Rich Call Data February 2021
6.5. Delivery Addressing Properties
These properties are concerned with information related to the
delivery addressing or label for the jCard object.
6.5.1. "adr" property
The "adr" property has the intent of providing the delivery address
of the object the jCard represents. Reference [RFC6350]
Section 6.3.1.
Value type: A single structured text value, separated by the
SEMICOLON character (U+003B).
Cardinality: *
Example:
["adr", {"type":"work"}, "text",
["", "", "3100 Massachusetts Avenue NW", "Washington", "DC",
"20008", "USA"]
6.6. Communications Properties
These properties describe information about how to communicate with
the object the jCard represents.
6.6.1. "tel" property
The "tel" property has the intent of providing the telephone number
for telephony communication of the object the jCard represents.
Reference [RFC6350] Section 6.4.1.
Relative to the SIP From header field value this information may
provide alternate telephone number or other related telephone numbers
for other uses.
It is important to note that any of the potential instances of the
"tel" property should not be considered part of the authentication or
verification part of STIR [RFC8224] or required to match the "orig"
claim in the PASSporT [RFC8225]. These telephone numbers should be
considered for contact, fax, or other purposes aligned with the
general usage of jCard and vCard, although consideration of confusing
the caller with different contact telephone number information versus
the actual verified telephone number should be made from a general
policy point of view.
Value type: By default, it is a single free-form text value (for
backward compatibility with vCard 3), but it SHOULD be reset to a URI
Wendt & Peterson Expires August 26, 2021 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft Call-Info Rich Call Data February 2021
value. It is expected that the URI scheme will be "tel", as
specified in [RFC3966], but other schemes MAY be used.
Cardinality: *
Example:
["tel", { "type": ["voice", "text", "cell"], "pref": "1" }, "uri",
"tel:+1-202-555-1000"]
["tel", { "type": ["fax"] }, "uri", "tel:+1-202-555-1001"]
6.6.2. "email" property
The "email" property has the intent of providing the electronic mail
address for communication of the object the jCard represents.
Reference [RFC6350] Section 6.4.2.
Value type: A single text value.
Cardinality: *
Example:
["email", {"type":"work"}, "text", "jqpublic@xyz.example.com"]
["email", {"pref":"1"}, "text", "jane_doe@example.com"]
6.6.3. "lang" property
The "lang" property has the intent of providing the language(s) that
may be used for contacting of the object the jCard represents.
Reference [RFC6350] Section 6.4.4.
Value type: A single language-tag value.
Cardinality: *
Example:
["lang", {"type":"work", "pref":"1"}, "language-tag", "en"]
["lang", {"type":"work", "pref":"2"}, "language-tag", "fr"]
["lang", {"type":"home"}, "language-tag", "fr"]
6.7. Geographical Properties
These properties are concerned with information associated with
geographical positions or regions associated with the object the
jCard represents.
Wendt & Peterson Expires August 26, 2021 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft Call-Info Rich Call Data February 2021
6.7.1. "tz" property
The "tz" property has the intent of providing the time zone of the
object the jCard represents. Reference [RFC6350] Section 6.5.1.
Note: the up-to-date reference for where time-zone names are
maintained is, at the authoring of this document, at this web
address, https://www.iana.org/time-zones.
Value type: The default is a single text value. It can also be reset
to a single URI or utc-offset value.
Cardinality: *
Example:
["tz", {}, "text", "Raleigh/North America"]
6.7.2. "geo" property
The "geo" property has the intent of providing the global positioning
of the object the jCard represents. Reference [RFC6350]
Section 6.5.2.
Value type: A single URI.
Cardinality: *
Example:
["geo", {}, "uri", "geo:37.386013,-122.082932"]
6.8. Organizational Properties
These properties are concerned with information associated with
characteristics of the organization or organizational units of the
object that the jCard represents.

URLs with telephone calls. The end client receiving a jCard with a
URL property MUST only display the URL and not automatically follow
the URL or provide automatic preview of the URL, and generally
provide good practices in making it clear to the user it is their
choice to follow the URL in a browser context consistent with all of
the common browser security and privacy practices available on most
consumer OS environments.

["version", {}, "text", "4.0"]
7. Extension of jCard
Part of the intent of the usage of jCard is that it has its own
extensibility properties where new properties can be defined to relay
newly defined information related to a caller. This capability is
inherently supported as part of standard extensibility. However,
usage of those new properties should be published and registered
following [RFC7095] Section 3.6 or new specifications.
8. Acknowledgements
We would like to thank David Hancock and other members of the STIR
working group for helpful suggestions and comments for the creation
of this draft.
9. IANA Considerations
9.1. SIP Call-Info Header Field Purpose Token Request
[this RFC] defines the "jcard" token for use as a new token in the
Call-Info header in the "Header Field Parameters and Parameter
Values" registry defined by [RFC3968].
+--------------+----------------+-------------------+------------+
| Header Field | Parameter Name | Predefined Values | Reference |
+--------------+----------------+-------------------+------------+
| Call-Info | jcard | No | [this RFC] |
+--------------+----------------+-------------------+------------+
9.2. SIP Call-Info Header Field Purpose Token Request
[this RFC] defines the "call-reason" generic parameter for use as a
new parameter in the Call-Info header in the "Header Field Parameters
and Parameter Values" registry defined by [RFC3968]. The parameter's
token is "call-reason" and it takes the value of a quoted string.

10. Security Considerations
Revealing information such as the name, location, and affiliation of
a person necessarily entails certain privacy risks. SIP and Call-
Info has no particular confidentiality requirement, as the
information sent in SIP is in the clear anyway. Transport-level
security can be used to hide information from eavesdroppers, and the
same confidentiality mechanisms would protect any Call-Info or jCard
information carried or referred to in SIP.
