๐Ÿ“ฎ RFC 8747: Proof-of-Possession Key Semantics for CBOR Web Tokens (CWTs) ๐Ÿฆ‹

okay bestie, this one is SO my vibe ๐Ÿ’– it's a spec that lets a CBOR Web Token (CWT) say "hey, the person presenting me actually has a particular proof-of-possession key" ๐Ÿ”‘โœจ and that's what people call holder-of-key. it's giving the same energy as the JWT version (RFC 7800), just in CBOR and CWT form ๐Ÿงš

1. Introduction ๐ŸŒธ

okay so this spec describes how a CBOR Web Token (CWT) [RFC8392] can declare that the presenter of the CWT has a particular proof-of-possession (PoP) key ๐Ÿ”‘ proof of possession is also called holder-of-key, same thing ๐Ÿ’… it gives you the same functionality as "Proof-of-Possession Key Semantics for JSON Web Tokens (JWTs)" [RFC7800], but it uses Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) [RFC7049] and CWTs [RFC8392] instead of JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) [RFC8259] and JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) [JWT] ๐Ÿงšโœจ

2. Terminology ๐ŸŽ€

the key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this doc are to be read as described in BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174], but only when they show up in all capitals like this ๐Ÿซถ lowercase ones are just regular words, no cap ๐Ÿ’€

this spec uses terms from the CBOR Web Token (CWT) [RFC8392], CBOR Object Signing and Encryption (COSE) [RFC8152], and Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) [RFC7049] specs ๐Ÿ“š

these terms get defined in this spec too ๐Ÿ’œ

Issuer the party that creates the CWT and binds the claims about the subject to the proof-of-possession key ๐Ÿ‘‘

Presenter the party that proves it has a private key (asymmetric crypto) or a secret key (symmetric crypto) to a recipient of a CWT ๐Ÿฆ‹

in OAuth, this party is also called the OAuth Client ๐Ÿ’…

Recipient the party that receives the CWT with the proof-of-possession key info from the presenter ๐ŸŒˆ

in OAuth, this party is also called the OAuth Resource Server ๐Ÿซถ

this spec gives examples in CBOR extended diagnostic notation, as defined in Appendix G of [RFC8610] ๐Ÿ“ the examples have line breaks so they're easier to read โœจ

3. Representations for Proof-of-Possession Keys ๐Ÿ”‘

okay so by including a "cnf" (confirmation) claim in a CWT, the issuer of the CWT declares that the presenter has a particular key, and that the recipient can cryptographically confirm the presenter really has it ๐Ÿ” the value of "cnf" is a CBOR map (defined in Section 2.1 of [RFC7049]), and the members of that map identify the proof-of-possession key ๐Ÿ’–

the CWT can identify the presenter in a few different ways, depending on what the application needs ๐Ÿงš for example, some apps use the CWT "sub" (subject) claim [RFC8392] to identify the presenter, and others use the "iss" (issuer) claim [RFC8392] ๐ŸŒธ in some apps, the subject identifier is relative to the issuer named by the "iss" claim ๐Ÿฆ‹ which mechanism gets used depends on the application ๐Ÿ’… when the presenter is the subject of the CWT, it's analogous to the SAML 2.0 [OASIS.saml-core-2.0-os] SubjectConfirmation usage ๐Ÿ‘‘

3.1. Confirmation Claim ๐ŸŽ€

the "cnf" claim in the CWT carries confirmation methods ๐Ÿ’œ some of them use proof-of-possession keys and some don't ๐ŸŒˆ this design is analogous to the SAML 2.0 [OASIS.saml-core-2.0-os] SubjectConfirmation element, which can include a bunch of different subject confirmation methods (including proof-of-possession key info) ๐Ÿซถ

the set of confirmation members a CWT MUST contain to be considered valid depends on context and is outside the scope of this spec ๐Ÿ’€ specific applications will need implementations to understand and process some confirmation members in particular ways ๐Ÿ“ but if there are no such requirements, all confirmation members that implementations don't understand MUST be ignored ๐Ÿ™ˆ

Section 7.2 sets up the IANA "CWT Confirmation Methods" registry for CWT "cnf" member values and registers the members defined by this spec โœจ other specs can register other members for confirmation, including ones that carry proof-of-possession keys in different key representations ๐Ÿฆ‹

the "cnf" claim value MUST represent only a single proof-of-possession key ๐Ÿ‘‘ at most one of the "COSE_Key" and "Encrypted_COSE_Key" confirmation values defined in Table 1 MAY be present ๐Ÿ’… note that if an app needs to represent multiple proof-of-possession keys in the same CWT, one way to do it is to use other claim names (in addition to "cnf") to hold the extra key info ๐Ÿงš those claims can use the same syntax and semantics as "cnf" ๐ŸŒธ they'd be defined by apps or other specs and could be registered in the IANA "CBOR Web Token (CWT) Claims" registry [IANA.CWT.Claims] ๐ŸŽ€

     Table 1: Summary of the "cnf" Names, Keys, and Value Types

3.2. Representation of an Asymmetric Proof-of-Possession Key ๐Ÿ”

when the key the presenter holds is an asymmetric private key, the "COSE_Key" member is a COSE_Key [RFC8152] representing the matching asymmetric public key ๐Ÿฆ‹ here's an example of that declaration in the CWT Claims Set of a CWT โœจ

  {
  /iss/ 1 : "coaps://server.example.com",
  /aud/ 3 : "coaps://client.example.org",
  /exp/ 4 : 1879067471,
  /cnf/ 8 :{
    /COSE_Key/ 1 :{
      /kty/ 1 : /EC2/ 2,
      /crv/ -1 : /P-256/ 1,
      /x/ -2 : h'd7cc072de2205bdc1537a543d53c60a6acb62eccd890c7fa27c9
                 e354089bbe13',
      /y/ -3 : h'f95e1d4b851a2cc80fff87d8e23f22afb725d535e515d020731e
                 79a3b4e47120'
     }
   }
 }

the COSE_Key MUST contain the required key members for a COSE_Key of that key type ๐Ÿ’… it MAY also contain other COSE_Key members, including the "kid" (Key ID) member ๐ŸŒˆ

the "COSE_Key" member MAY also be used for a COSE_Key representing a symmetric key, but only if the CWT is encrypted so the key isn't revealed to unintended parties ๐Ÿซถ the way to encrypt a CWT is explained in [RFC8392] ๐Ÿ“ if the CWT is NOT encrypted, the symmetric key MUST be encrypted as described in Section 3.3 ๐Ÿ’€ this procedure is equivalent to the one defined in Section 3.3 of [RFC7800] ๐Ÿฆ‹


okay that's part 1 done ๐Ÿ’– more parts are coming, so stay tuned bestie ๐Ÿงšโœจ

3.3. Representation of an Encrypted Symmetric Proof-of-Possession Key ๐Ÿ”

Okay so, when the key the presenter holds is a symmetric key, the "Encrypted_COSE_Key" member is an encrypted COSE_Key [RFC8152] that represents that symmetric key. The symmetric key is encrypted to a key the recipient knows, using COSE_Encrypt or COSE_Encrypt0. It's giving secret-keeper energy ๐Ÿคซ๐Ÿ’œ

Here's a symmetric key that could later get encrypted for the "Encrypted_COSE_Key" member:

{
 /kty/ 1 : /Symmetric/ 4,
 /alg/ 3 : /HMAC 256-256/ 5,
 /k/ -1 : h'6684523ab17337f173500e5728c628547cb37df
            e68449c65f885d1b73b49eae1'
}

The COSE_Key representation is what gets used as the plaintext when encrypting the key. โœจ

Next, here's a CWT Claims Set showing an encrypted symmetric key used as the "Encrypted_COSE_Key" member value. Obsessed with how neat this is ๐ŸŽ€

{
 /iss/ 1 : "coaps://server.example.com",
 /sub/ 2 : "24400320",
 /aud/ 3: "s6BhdRkqt3",
 /exp/ 4 : 1311281970,
 /iat/ 5 : 1311280970,
 /cnf/ 8 : {
 /Encrypted_COSE_Key/ 2 : [
    /protected header/ h'A1010A' /{ \alg\ 1:10 \AES-CCM-16-64-128\}/,
    /unprotected header/ { / iv / 5: h'636898994FF0EC7BFCF6D3F95B'},
    /ciphertext/  h'0573318A3573EB983E55A7C2F06CADD0796C9E584F1D0E3E
                    A8C5B052592A8B2694BE9654F0431F38D5BBC8049FA7F13F'
   ]
  }
}

The example above was generated with this key: h'6162630405060708090a0b0c0d0e0f10' ๐ŸŒธ

3.4. Representation of a Key ID for a Proof-of-Possession Key ๐Ÿชช

The proof-of-possession key can also be identified with a Key ID instead of sending the actual key, as long as the recipient can obtain the identified key using that Key ID. In this case, the issuer of a CWT says the presenter has a particular key, and the recipient can cryptographically confirm the presenter's proof of possession by putting a "cnf" claim in the CWT. That claim's value is a CBOR map with a "kid" member that identifies the key. This is so clean ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Here's what that declaration looks like in the CWT Claims Set:

{
 /iss/ 1 : "coaps://as.example.com",
 /aud/ 3 : "coaps://resource.example.org",
 /exp/ 4 : 1361398824,
 /cnf/ 8 : {
   /kid/ 3 : h'dfd1aa976d8d4575a0fe34b96de2bfad'
  }
}

The content of the "kid" value is application specific. For instance, some applications may choose to use a cryptographic hash of the public key value as the "kid" value. ๐Ÿงฉ

Heads up, bestie! Using a Key ID to identify a proof-of-possession key needs to be carefully circumscribed, as described below and in Section 6. If the Key ID isn't a cryptographic value derived from the key, or not all of the parties are validating that derivation, implementers should expect collisions where different keys get the same Key ID. Recipients of a CWT with a PoP key linked only through a Key ID should be prepared to handle that mess. ๐Ÿ’€

In the world of constrained Internet of Things (IoT) devices, there's frequently a limit on the size of Key IDs, either because of table constraints or a desire to keep message sizes small. ๐ŸŒฑ

Also, the value of a Key ID for a specific key isn't necessarily the same for different parties. When sending a COSE encrypted message with a shared key, the Key ID may be different on both sides of the conversation. The right one gets included in the message based on who the recipient is. ๐Ÿฆ‹

3.5. Specifics Intentionally Not Specified ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

Proof of possession is often shown by having the presenter sign a value that the recipient picks, using the key the presenter holds. This value is sometimes called a "nonce" or a "challenge". There are also other ways to show that the exchange is fresh and to link the proof-of-possession key to the parties involved, as different authentication and key exchange protocols demonstrate. ๐Ÿ”‘

The way the nonce gets communicated, and what its contents look like, are intentionally not described in this specification, because different protocols communicate that info in different ways. The way the signed nonce gets communicated isn't specified either, since that's protocol specific too. ๐Ÿ“ฌ

Other means of proving possession of the key exist, and they could be used together with a CWT's confirmation key. Applications using those alternate means are encouraged to register them in the IANA "CBOR Web Token (CWT) Confirmation Methods" registry established in Section 7.2. ๐ŸŒˆ

4. Security Considerations ๐Ÿšจ

All the security considerations discussed in [RFC8392] also apply here. On top of that, proof of possession brings its own unique security issues. Possessing a key is only valuable if it stays secret, so appropriate means have to be used to make sure unintended parties don't learn private key or symmetric key values. ๐Ÿ™ˆ

Applications utilizing proof of possession SHOULD also utilize audience restriction, as described in Section 3.1.3 of [RFC8392], because it provides additional protections. Audience restriction can be used by recipients to reject messages intended for different recipients. (Of course, applications not using proof of possession can also benefit from using audience restriction to reject messages meant for different recipients. ๐Ÿ’…)

CBOR Web Tokens with proof-of-possession keys get used within an architecture, such as the ACE OAuth Framework [ACE-OAUTH]. In that setup, protocols are used by a presenter to request these tokens and then use them with recipients. Proof of possession only gives the intended security gains when the proof is known to be current and not subject to replay attacks. Security protocols using mechanisms such as nonces and timestamps can be used to avoid the risk of replay when doing proof of possession for a token. The architecture and the specific protocols CWTs with proof-of-possession keys are used with are beyond the scope of this specification, so that's a whole other conversation ๐Ÿงš

As with any other information included in a CWT, it's necessary to apply data origin authentication and integrity protection (via a keyed message digest or a digital signature). Data origin authentication makes sure the recipient of the CWT learns about the entity that created it, which matters a lot for policy decisions. Integrity protection stops an adversary from changing any elements conveyed within the CWT payload. Special care has to be applied when carrying symmetric keys inside the CWT, since those need integrity protection and confidentiality protection. ๐Ÿ˜ค

As described in Section 6 (Key Identification) and Appendix D (Notes on Key Selection) of [JWS], it's important to make explicit trust decisions about the keys. Proof-of-possession signatures made with keys that don't meet the application's trust criteria MUST NOT be relied upon. ๐Ÿ›‘

5. Privacy Considerations ๐Ÿซฃ

A proof-of-possession key can be used as a correlation handle if the same key is used on multiple occasions. So, for privacy reasons, it is recommended that different proof-of-possession keys be used when interacting with different parties. Main character energy means never leaving a trail ๐Ÿ‘‘

6. Operational Considerations ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ

Using CWTs with proof-of-possession keys requires extra info to be shared between the involved parties so everything gets processed correctly. The recipient needs to be able to use credentials to verify the authenticity and integrity of the CWT. The recipient may also need to decrypt either the whole CWT or its encrypted parts (see Section 3.3), which means it has to know info about the issuer. And there needs to be agreement between the issuer and the recipient about the claims being used (which is also true of CWTs in general). ๐Ÿค

When an issuer creates a CWT containing a Key ID claim, it needs to make sure it doesn't issue another CWT with different claims containing the same Key ID within the lifetime of the CWTs, unless that's intentionally desired. ๐Ÿšซ If it does, one party might impersonate another party and gain additional privileges. Scary stuff ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

A case where reusing a Key ID is intentional: a presenter gets a CWT with different claims (e.g., extended scope) for the same recipient, but wants to keep using an existing security association (e.g., a DTLS session) bound to the key identified by the Key ID. ๐Ÿ”

Also, if PoP keys are used for multiple different kinds of CWTs in an application and those keys are identified by Key IDs, care must be taken to keep the keys for the different kinds of CWTs segregated. That way an attacker can't cause the wrong PoP key to be used by presenting a valid Key ID for the wrong kind of CWT. Using an audience restriction for the CWT would be one strategy to mitigate this risk. ๐Ÿงฑ

7. IANA Considerations ๐Ÿ“š

The following registration procedure is used for all the registries established by this specification. ๐Ÿ“

Values are registered on a Specification Required [RFC8126] basis, after a three-week review period on the <cwt-reg-review@ietf.org> mailing list, on the advice of one or more designated experts. However, to allow values to be allocated before publication, the designated experts may approve a registration once they're satisfied that such a specification will be published. โœ…

Registration requests sent to the mailing list for review should use an appropriate subject (e.g., "Request to Register CWT Confirmation Method: example"). Registration requests that are undetermined for a period longer than 21 days can be brought directly to IANA's attention (using the iana@iana.org mailing list) for resolution. โฐ

Designated experts should determine whether a registration request contains enough info for the registry to be populated with the new values, and whether the proposed new functionality already exists. If a registration is incomplete, or it tries to register functionality that already exists, the designated experts should ask for corrections or reject the registration. ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™€๏ธ

It's suggested that multiple designated experts be appointed who can represent the perspectives of the different applications using this specification. That way the review of registration decisions is broadly informed. If a registration decision could be seen as creating a conflict of interest for a particular expert, that expert should defer to the judgment of the other experts. ๐Ÿซถ

7.1. CBOR Web Token Claims Registration ๐Ÿท๏ธ
