Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) Labels
for Session Traversal Utilities for NAT (STUN) Usages
draft-ietf-tram-alpn-08

Abstract

Application Layer

Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) labels for Session
Traversal Utilities for NAT (STUN) usages, such as Traversal Using
Relays around NAT (TURN) and NAT discovery, are defined in this
document to allow an application layer to negotiate STUN usages
within the Transport Layer Security (TLS) connection. ALPN protocol
identifiers defined in this document apply to both TLS and Datagram
Transport Layer Security (DTLS).

1. Introduction

STUN can be securely transported using TLS-over-TCP (referred to as
TLS [RFC5246]), as specified in [RFC5389], or TLS-over-UDP (referred
to as DTLS [RFC6347]), as specified in [RFC7350].

ALPN [RFC7301] enables an endpoint to positively identify an
application protocol in TLS/DTLS and distinguish it from other TLS/
DTLS protocols. With ALPN, the client sends the list of supported
application protocols as part of the TLS/DTLS ClientHello message.
The server chooses a protocol and sends the selected protocol as part
of the TLS/DTLS ServerHello message. Application protocol
negotiation can thus be accomplished within the TLS/DTLS handshake,
without adding network round-trips.

STUN protocol usages, such as TURN [RFC5766], can be used to identify
the purpose of a flow without initiating a session.

This document proposes the following ALPN labels to identify STUN
protocol [RFC5389] usages.

'stun.turn': Label to identify the specific use of STUN over (D)TLS
for TURN (Section 4.6 of [RFC7350]).

'stun.nat-discovery': Label to identify the specific use of STUN
over (D)TLS for NAT discovery (Section 4.1 of [RFC7350]).

2. IANA Considerations

The following entries are to be have been added to the "Application Layer "Application-Layer
Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) Protocol IDs" registry established by
[RFC7301].

The "stun.turn" label identifies the use of TURN usage (D)TLS:

Protocol: Traversal Using Relays around NAT (TURN)

Identification Sequence: 0x73 0x74 0x75 0x6E 0x2E 0x74 0x75 0x72
0x6E ("stun.turn")

Specification: This document (RFCXXXX) (RFC 7443)

The "stun.nat-discovery" label identifies the use of STUN for the
purposes of NAT discovery over (D)TLS:

Protocol: NAT discovery using Session Traversal Utilities for NAT
(STUN)

Identification Sequence: 0x73 0x74 0x75 0x6E 0x2E 0x6e 0x61 0x74
0x2d 0x64 0x69 0x73 0x63 0x6f 0x76 0x65 0x72 0x79 ("stun.nat-
discovery")
("stun.nat-discovery")

Specification: This document (RFCXXXX) (RFC 7443)

3. Security Considerations

The ALPN STUN protocol identifier does not introduce any specific
security considerations beyond those detailed in the TLS ALPN
Extension specification [RFC7301]. It also does not impact the
security of TLS/DTLS session establishment nor or application data
exchange.
