Persona Assertion Token
draft-ietf-stir-passport-02
Abstract
This document defines a token format for verifying with non-
repudiation the sender of and authorization to send information
related to the originator of personal communications. A
cryptographic signature is defined to protect the integrity of the
information used to identify the originator of a personal
communications session (e.g. the telephone number or URI) and verify
the accuracy of this information at the destination. The
cryptographic signature is defined with the intention that it can
confidently verify the originating persona even when the signature is
sent to the destination party over an unsecure channel. The Persona
Assertion Token (PASSporT) is particularly useful for many personal
communications applications over IP networks and other multi-hop
interconnection scenarios where the originating and destination
parties may not have a direct trusted relationship.

1. Introduction
In today's IP-enabled telecommunications world, there is a growing
concern about the ability to trust incoming invitations for
communications sessions, including video, voice and messaging. As an
example, modern telephone networks provide the ability to spoof the
calling party telephone number for many legitimate purposes including
providing network features and services on the behalf of a legitimate
telephone number. However, as we have seen, bad actors have taken
advantage of this ability for illegitimate and fraudulent purposes
meant to trick telephone users to believe they are someone they are
not. This problem can be extended to many emerging forms of personal
communications.
This document defines a common method for creating and validating a
token that cryptographically verifies an originating identity, or
more generally a URI or application specific identity string
representing the originator of personal communications. Through
extended profiles other information relevant to the personal
communications can also be attached to the token. The primary goal
of PASSporT is to provide a common framework for signing persona
related information in an extensible way. A secondary goal is to
provide this functionality independent of any specific personal
communications signaling call logic, so that creation and
verification of persona information can be implemented in a flexible
way and can be used in many personal communications applications
including end-to-end applications that require different signaling
protocols. It is anticipated that signaling protocol specific
guidance will be provided in other related documents and
specifications to specify how to use and transport PASSporT tokens,
however this is intentionally out of scope for this document.
Note: As of the authoring of this document,
[I-D.ietf-stir-rfc4474bis] provides details of how to use PASSporT
Wendt & Peterson Expires November 25, 2016 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft PASSporT May 2016
within SIP signaling for the signing and verification of telephone
numbers.
2. Token Overview
Tokens are a convenient way of encapsulating information with
associated digital signatures. They are used in many applications
that require authentication, authorization, encryption, non-
repudiation and other use cases. JSON Web Token (JWT) [RFC7519] and
JSON Web Signature (JWS) [RFC7515] are designed to provide a compact
form for many of these purposes and define a specific method and
syntax for signing a specific set of information or "claims" within
the token and therefore providing an extensible set of claims.
Additionally, JWS provides extensible mechanisms for specifying the
method and cryptographic algorithms used for the associated digital
signatures.
3. PASSporT Definition
The PASSporT is constructed based on JWT [RFC7519] and JWS [RFC7515]
specifications. JWS defines the use of JSON data structures in a
specified canonical format for signing data corresponding to JOSE
header, JWS Payload, and JWS Signature. JWT defines specific set of
claims that are represented by specified key value pairs which can be
extended with custom keys for specific applications.
3.1. PASSporT Header
The JWS token header is a JOSE header [RFC7515] that defines the type
and encryption algorithm used in the token.
An example of the header for the case of an ECDSA P-256 digital
signature would be the following,
{
"typ":"passport",
"alg":"ES256",
"x5u":"https://cert.example.org/passport.crt"
}
3.1.1. "typ" (Type) Header Parameter
JWS defines the "typ" (Type) Header Parameter to declare the media
type [IANA.MediaTypes] of the JWS.
For PASSporT Token the "typ" header MUST minimally include and begin
with "passport". This represents that the encoded token is a JWT of
type passport. Note with extensions explained later in this
Wendt & Peterson Expires November 25, 2016 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft PASSporT May 2016
document, the typ may be another value if defined as a passport
extension.
3.1.2. "alg" (Algorithm) Header Parameter
For PASSporT, the "alg" should be defined as follows, for the
creation of PASSporT tokens and their corresponding digital
signatures,
o ES256 MUST be implemented.
o RS256 SHOULD be implemented
For the verification of PASSporT tokens, both ES256 and RS256 MUST be
supported.
Note that JWA [RFC7518] defines other algorithms that may be utilized
or updated in the future depending on cryptographic strength
requirements guided by current security best practice.
3.1.3. "x5u" (X.509 URL) Header Parameter
As defined in JWS, the "x5u" header parameter is used to provide a
URI [RFC3986] referring to the resource for the X.509 public key
certificate or certificate chain [RFC5280] corresponding to the key
used to digitally sign the JWS. Note: The definition of what the URI
represents in terms of the actor serving the X.509 public key is out
of scope of this document. However, generally this would correspond
to an HTTPS or DNSSEC resource with the guidance that it MUST be a
TLS protected, per JWS spec.
3.2. PASSporT Payload
The token payload claims should consist of the information which
needs to be verified at the destination party. This claim should
correspond to a JWT claim [RFC7519] and be encoded as defined by the
JWS Payload [RFC7515]
The PASSporT defines the use of a number of standard JWT defined
headers as well as two new custom headers corresponding to the two
parties associated with personal communications, the originator and
terminator. These headers or key value pairs are detailed below.
3.2.1. JWT defined claims
Wendt & Peterson Expires November 25, 2016 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft PASSporT May 2016
3.2.1.1. "iat" - Issued at claim
The JSON claim MUST include the "iat" [RFC7519] defined claim issued
at. As defined this should be set to a date cooresponding to the
origination of the personal communications. The time value should be
of the format defined in [RFC7519] Section 2 NumericDate. This is
included for securing the token against replay and cut and paste
attacks, as explained further in the security considerations in
section 7.
3.2.2. PASSporT specific claims
3.2.2.1. Originating and Destination Identities
Baseline PASSporT defines claims that convey the identity of the
origination and destination of personal communications represented as
either telephone numbers or Uniform Resource Indicators (URIs). Some
using protocols may require other identifiers for personae; these may
be specified as claims through the PASSporT extensibility mechanisms.
But for telephone numbers and URIs, the following claims should be
used:
3.2.2.1.1. "otn" and "dtn" - Originating and Destination Telephone
Number claim
If the originating identity is a telephone number, the claim "otn"
SHOULD be included. If the destination identity is a telephone
number, the claim "dtn" SHOULD be included.
Telephone Number strings for "otn" and "dtn" claims MUST be
canonicalized according to the procedures specified in
[I-D.ietf-stir-rfc4474bis] Section 6.1.1.
3.2.2.1.2. "ouri" and "duri" - Originating and Destination URI claims
If the originating identity is not a telephone number, the claim
"ouri" SHOULD be included with the string cooresponding to the URI
form of the identity as defined in [RFC3986], alternatively it could
also contain an application specific identity string, if URI format
is not appropriate.
If the destination identity is not a telephone number, the claim
"duri" SHOULD be included. The same string format rules apply as
stated for "ouri".
Wendt & Peterson Expires November 25, 2016 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft PASSporT May 2016
3.2.2.2. "mky" - Media Key claim
Some protocols that use PASSporT convey hashes for media security
keys within their signaling in order to bind those keys to the
identities established in the signaling layers. One example would be
the DTLS-SRTP key fingerprints carried in SDP via the "a=fingerprint"
attribute; multiple instances of that fingerprint may appear in a
single SDP body corresponding to difference media streams offered.
The "mky" value of PASSporT contains a hexadecimal key presentation
of any hash(es) necessary to establish media security via DTLS-SRTP.
This mky value should be formated in a JSON form including the
'algorithm' and 'digest' keys with the corresponding algorithm and
hexadecimal values. Note that per guidance of Section 5 of this
document any whitespace and line feeds must be removed. If there is
multiple fingerprint values, more than one, the fingerprint values
should be constructed as a JSON array denoted by bracket characters.
An example claim with "mky" claim is as follows:
For an SDP offer that includes the following fingerprint values,
a=fingerprint:sha-256 02:1A:CC:54:27:AB:EB:9C:53:3F:3E:4B:65:
2E:7D:46:3F:54:42:CD:54:F1:7A:03:A2:7D:F9:B0:7F:46:19:B2
a=fingerprint:sha-256 4A:AD:B9:B1:3F:82:18:3B:54:02:12:DF:3E:
5D:49:6B:19:E5:7C:AB:3E:4B:65:2E:7D:46:3F:54:42:CD:54:F1
the PASSporT Payload object would be:
{
"iat":"1443208345",
"otn":"12155551212",
"duri":"sip:alice@example.com",
"mky":"[
{
"algorithm":"sha-256",
"digest":"02:1A:CC:54:27:AB:EB:9C:53:3F:3E:4B:65:2E:7D:
46:3F:54:42:CD:54:F1:7A:03:A2:7D:F9:B0:7F:46:19:B2"
},
{
"algorithm":"sha-256",
"digest":"4A:AD:B9:B1:3F:82:18:3B:54:02:12:DF:3E:5D:49:
6B:19:E5:7C:AB:3E:4B:65:2E:7D:46:3F:54:42:CD:54:F1"
}]"
}

Internet-Draft PASSporT May 2016
3.2.3. Multi-party Communications
Personal communications in the context of PASSporT can certainly
extend to multi-party scenerios where there is more than one
destination identity. In the future, it is anticipated that PASSporT
will be extended to support these cases.
3.3. PASSporT Signature
The signature of the PASSporT is created as specified by JWS using
the private key corresponding to the X.509 public key certificate
referenced by the "x5u" header parameter.
4. Extending PASSporT
PASSporT represents the bare minimum set of claims needed to assert
the originating identity, however there will certainly be new and
extended applications and usage of PASSPorT that will need to extend
the claims to represent other information specific to the origination
identities beyond the identity itself.
There are two mechanisms defined to extend PASSporT. The first
includes an extension of the base passport claims to include
additional claims. An alternative method of extending PASSporT is
for applications of PASSporT unrelated to the base set of claims,
that will define it's own set of claims. Both are described below.
4.1. "ppt" (PASSporT) header parameter
For extended profiles of PASSporT, a new JWS header parameter "ppt"
MUST be used with a string that uniquely identifies the profile
specification that defines any new claims that would extend the base
set of claims of PASSporT.
An example header with an extended PASSporT profile of "foo" is as
follows:
{
"typ":"passport",
"ppt":"foo",
"alg":"ES256",
"x5u":"https://tel.example.org/passport.crt"
}
Wendt & Peterson Expires November 25, 2016 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft PASSporT May 2016
4.2. Extended PASSporT Claims
Future specifications that define such extensions to the PASSporT
mechanism MUST explicitly designate what claims they include, the
order in which they will appear, and any further information
necessary to implement the extension. All extensions MUST
incorporate the baseline JWT elements specified in Section 3; claims
may only be appended to the claims object specified; they can never
be subtracted or re-ordered. Specifying new claims follows the
baseline JWT procedures ([RFC7519] Section 10.1). Note that
understanding an extension as a verifier is always optional for
compliance with this specification (though future specifications or
profiles for deployment environments may make other "ppt" values
mandatory). The creator of a PASSporT object cannot assume that
verifiers will understand any given extension. Verifiers that do
support an extension may then trigger appropriate application-level
behavior in the presence of an extension; authors of extensions
should provide appropriate extension-specific guidance to application
developers on this point.
4.3. Alternate PASSporT Extension
Some applications may want to use the mechanism of the PASSporT
digital signature that is not a superset of the base set of claims of
the PASSporT token as defined in Section 3. Rather, a specification
may use PASSporT with its own defined set of claims.
In this case, the specification SHOULD define its own MIME media type
[RFC2046] in the "Media Types" registry [IANA.MediaTypes]. The MIME
subtype SHOULD start with the string "passport-" to signify that it
is related to the PASSporT token. For example, for the "foo"
application the MIME type/sub-type could be defined as "application/
passport-foo".
4.4. Registering PASSporT Extensions
Toward interoperability and to maintain uniqueness of the extended
PASSporT profile header parameter string, there SHOULD be an industry
registry that tracks the definition of the profile strings.
5. Deterministic JSON Serialization
In order to provide a deterministic representation of the PASSporT
Header and Claims, particularly if PASSporT is used across multiple
signaling environments, the JSON header object and JSON Claim object
MUST be computed as follows.
Wendt & Peterson Expires November 25, 2016 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft PASSporT May 2016
The JSON object MUST follow the rules for the construction of the
thumbprint of a JSON Web Key (JWK) as defined in [RFC7638] Section 3.
Each JSON object MUST contain no whitespace or line breaks before or
after any syntactic elements and with the required members ordered
lexicographically by the Unicode [UNICODE] code points of the member
names.
In addition, the JSON header and claim members MUST follow the
lexicographical ordering and character and string rules defined in
[RFC7638] Section 3.3.
5.1. Example PASSport deterministic JSON form
For the example PASSporT Payload shown in Section 3.2.2.2, the
following is the deterministic JSON object form.
{"iat": 1443208345,"otn":"12155551212","duri":
"sip:alice@example.com","mky":{"algorithm":"sha-256","digest":
"02:1A:CC:54:27:AB:EB:9C:53:3F:3E:4B:65:2E:7D:46:3F:54:42:CD:54:
F1:7A:03:A2:7D:F9:B0:7F:46:19:B2;sha-256 4A:AD:B9:B1:3F:82:18:
3B:54:02:12:DF:3E:5D:49:6B:19:E5:7C:AB:3E:4B:65:2E:7D:46:3F:54:
42:CD:54:F1"}}
6. Human Readability
JWT [RFC7519] and JWS [RFC7515] are defined to use Base64 and/or UTF8
encoding to the Header, Payload, and Signature sections. However,
many personal communications protocols, such as SIP and XMPP, use a
"human readable" format to allow for ease of use and ease of
operational debugging and monitoring. As such, specifications using
PASSporT may provide guidance on whether Base64 encoding or plain
text will be used for the construction of the PASSporT Header and
Claim sections.
7. Security Considerations
7.1. Avoidance of replay and cut and paste attacks
There are a number of security considerations for use of the token
for avoidance of replay and cut and paste attacks. PASSporT tokens
must be sent along with other application level protocol information
(e.g. for SIP an INVITE as defined in [RFC3261]). There should be a
link between various information provided in the token and
information provided by the application level protocol information.
These would include:
Wendt & Peterson Expires November 25, 2016 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft PASSporT May 2016
o "iat" claim should closely correspond to a date/time the message
was originated. It should also be within a relative delta time
that is reasonable for clock drift and transmission time
characteristics associated with the application using the PASSporT
token.
o either "dtn" claim or "duri" claim is included to prevent the
ability to use a previously originated message to send to another
destination party
7.2. Solution Considerations
It should be recognized that the use of this token should not, in
it's own right, be considered a full solution for absolute non-
repudiation of the persona being asserted. This only provides non-
repudiation of the signer of PASSporT. If the signer and the persona
are not one in the same, which can and often will be the case in
telecommunications networks today, protecting the destination party
from being spoofed may take some interpretation or additional
verification of the link between the PASSporT signature and the
persona being asserted.
In addition, the telecommunications systems and specifications that
use PASSporT should in practice provide mechanisms for:
o Managing X.509 certificates and X.509 certificate chains to an
authorized trust anchor that can be a trusted entity to all
participants in the telecommunications network
o Accounting for entities that may route calls from other peer or
interconnected telecommunications networks that are not part of
the "trusted" communications network or may not be following the
usage of PASSporT or the profile of PASSporT appropriate to that
network
o Following best practices around management and security of X.509
certificates
7.3. Privacy Considerations
Because PASSporT explicity includes claims of identitifiers of
parties involved in communications, times, and potentially other call
detail, care should be taken outside of traditional protected or
private telephony communications paths where there may be concerns
about exposing information to either unintended or illegitimately
intented actors. These identifiers are often exposed through many
communications signaling protocols as of today, but appropriate
precautions should be taken.

Appendix A. Example ES256 base PASSporT JWS Serialization and Signature
For PASSporT, there will always be a JWS with the following members:
o "protected", with the value BASE64URL(UTF8(JWS Protected Header))
o "payload", with the value BASE64URL (JWS Payload)
o "signature", with the value BASE64URL(JWS Signature)
Note: there will never be a JWS Unprotected Header for PASSporT.
First, an example PASSporT Protected Header is as follows:
Wendt & Peterson Expires November 25, 2016 [Page 15]
Internet-Draft PASSporT May 2016
{
"typ":"passport",
"alg":"ES256",
"x5u":"https://cert.example.org/passport.crt"
}
This would be serialized to the form:
{"typ":"passport","alg":"ES256","x5u":"https://cert.example.org/
passport.crt"}
Encoding this with UTF8 and BASE64 encoding produces this value:

ZXJ0LmV4YW1wbGUub3JnL3Bhc3Nwb3J0LmNydCJ9
Second, an example PASSporT Payload is as follows:
{
"iat":"1443208345",
"otn":"12155551212",
"duri":"sip:alice@example.com"
}
This would be serialized to the form:
{"iat":"1443208345","otn":"12155551212","duri":
"sip:alice@example.com"}
Encoding this with the UTF8 and BASE64 encoding produces this value:

The final PASSporT token is produced by concatenating the values in
the order Header.Payload.Signature with period (',') characters. For
the above example values this would produce the following:
