Proof-of-Possession Key Semantics for CBOR Web Tokens (CWTs)
draft-ietf-ace-cwt-proof-of-possession-11
Abstract
This specification describes how to declare in a CBOR Web Token (CWT)
(which is defined by RFC 8392) that the presenter of the CWT
possesses a particular proof-of-possession key. Being able to prove
possession of a key is also sometimes described as being the holder-
of-key. This specification provides equivalent functionality to
"Proof-of-Possession Key Semantics for JSON Web Tokens (JWTs)" (RFC
7800) but using Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) and CWTs
rather than JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) and JSON Web Tokens
(JWTs).

1. Introduction
This specification describes how a CBOR Web Token (CWT) [RFC8392] can
declare that the presenter of the CWT possesses a particular proof-
of-possession (PoP) key. Proof of possession of a key is also
sometimes described as being the holder-of-key. This specification
provides equivalent functionality to "Proof-of-Possession Key
Semantics for JSON Web Tokens (JWTs)" [RFC7800] but using Concise
Binary Object Representation (CBOR) [RFC7049] and CWTs [RFC8392]
rather than JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) [RFC8259] and JSON Web
Tokens (JWTs) [JWT].
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.
This specification uses terms defined in the CBOR Web Token (CWT)
[RFC8392], CBOR Object Signing and Encryption (COSE) [RFC8152], and
Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) [RFC7049] specifications.
These terms are defined by this specification:
Issuer
Party that creates the CWT and binds the claims about the subject
to the proof-of-possession key.
Presenter
Party that proves possession of a private key (for asymmetric key
cryptography) or secret key (for symmetric key cryptography) to a
recipient of a CWT.
In the context of OAuth, this party is also called the OAuth
Client.
Recipient
Party that receives the CWT containing the proof-of-possession key
information from the presenter.
In the context of OAuth, this party is also called the OAuth
Resource Server.
This specification provides examples in CBOR extended diagnostic
notation, as defined in Appendix G of [RFC8610]. The examples
include line breaks for readability.
3. Representations for Proof-of-Possession Keys
By including a "cnf" (confirmation) claim in a CWT, the issuer of the
CWT declares that the presenter possesses a particular key and that
the recipient can cryptographically confirm that the presenter has
possession of that key. The value of the "cnf" claim is a CBOR map
(which is defined in Section 2.1 of [RFC7049]) and the members of
that map identify the proof-of-possession key.
The presenter can be identified in one of several ways by the CWT,
depending upon the application requirements. For instance, some
applications may use the CWT "sub" (subject) claim [RFC8392], [RFC8392] to
identify the presenter. Other applications may use the "iss"
(issuer) claim [RFC8392] to identify the presenter. In some
applications, the subject identifier might be relative to the issuer
identified by the "iss" claim. The actual mechanism used is
dependent upon the application. The case in which the presenter is
the subject of the CWT is analogous to Security Assertion Markup
Language (SAML) 2.0 [OASIS.saml-core-2.0-os] SubjectConfirmation
usage.
3.1. Confirmation Claim
The "cnf" claim in the CWT is used to carry confirmation methods.
Some of them use proof-of-possession keys keys, while others do not. This
design is analogous to the SAML 2.0 [OASIS.saml-core-2.0-os]
SubjectConfirmation element in which a number of different subject
confirmation methods can be included (including proof-of-possession
key information).
The set of confirmation members that a CWT must contain to be
considered valid is context dependent and is outside the scope of
this specification. Specific applications of CWTs will require
implementations to understand and process some confirmation members
in particular ways. However, in the absence of such requirements,
all confirmation members that are not understood by implementations
MUST be ignored.
This specification
Section 7.2 establishes the IANA "CWT Confirmation Methods" registry
for these members in Section 7.2 CWT "cnf" member values and registers the members defined by this
specification. Other specifications can register other members used
for confirmation, including other members for conveying proof-of-possession proof-of-
possession keys using different key representations.
The "cnf" claim value MUST represent only a single proof-of-
possession key. At most one of the "COSE_Key" and
"Encrypted_COSE_Key" confirmation values defined in Figure Table 1 may be
present. Note that if an application needs to represent multiple
proof-of-possession keys in the same CWT, one way for it to achieve
this is to use other claim names, in names (in addition to "cnf", "cnf") to hold the
additional proof-of-possession key information. These claims could
use the same syntax and semantics as the "cnf" claim. Those claims
would be defined by applications or other specifications and could be
registered in the IANA "CBOR Web Token (CWT) Claims" registry
[IANA.CWT.Claims].

3.2. Representation of an Asymmetric Proof-of-Possession Key
When the key held by the presenter is an asymmetric private key, the
"COSE_Key" member is a COSE_Key [RFC8152] representing the
corresponding asymmetric public key. The following example
demonstrates such a declaration in the CWT Claims Set of a CWT:
{
/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 and MAY contain other COSE_Key members, including the
"kid" (Key ID) member.
The "COSE_Key" member MAY also be used for a COSE_Key representing a
symmetric key, provided that the CWT is encrypted so that the key is
not revealed to unintended parties. The means of encrypting a CWT is
explained in [RFC8392]. If the CWT is not encrypted, the symmetric
key MUST be encrypted as described in Section 3.3. This procedure is
equivalent to the one defined in section Section 3.3 of [RFC7800].
3.3. Representation of an Encrypted Symmetric Proof-of-Possession Key
When the key held by the presenter is a symmetric key, the
"Encrypted_COSE_Key" member is an encrypted COSE_Key [RFC8152]
representing the symmetric key encrypted to a key known to the
recipient using COSE_Encrypt or COSE_Encrypt0.
The following example illustrates a symmetric key that could
subsequently be encrypted for use in 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 used as the plaintext when encrypting
the key.
The following example CWT Claims Set of a CWT illustrates the use of
an encrypted symmetric key as the "Encrypted_COSE_Key" member value:
{
/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 the key:
h'6162630405060708090a0b0c0d0e0f10'
3.4. Representation of a Key ID for a Proof-of-Possession Key
The proof-of-possession key can also be identified using a Key ID
instead of communicating the actual key, provided the recipient is
able to obtain the identified key using the Key ID. In this case,
the issuer of a CWT declares that the presenter possesses a
particular key and that the recipient can cryptographically confirm
the presenter's proof of possession of the key by the presenter by including a "cnf"
claim in the CWT whose value is a CBOR map with the CBOR map containing a "kid" member
identifying the key.
The following example demonstrates such a declaration in the CWT
Claims Set of a CWT:
{
/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.
Note that the use of a Key ID to identify a proof-of-possession key
needs to be carefully circumscribed, as described below and in
Section 6. In cases where the Key ID is not a cryptographic value
derived from the key or where not all of the parties involved are
validating the cryptographic derivation, implementers should expect
collisions,
collisions where different keys are assigned the same Key ID.
Recipients of a CWT with a PoP key linked through only a Key ID
should be prepared to handle such situations.
In the world of constrained Internet of Things (IoT) devices, there
is frequently a restriction on the size of Key IDs, either because of
table constraints or a desire to keep message sizes small.
Note that the value of a Key ID for a specific key is not 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, with the appropriate one being included in the
message based on the recipient of the message.
3.5. Specifics Intentionally Not Specified
Proof of possession is often demonstrated by having the presenter
sign a value determined by the recipient using the key possessed by
the presenter. This value is sometimes called a "nonce" or a
"challenge". There are, however, also other means to demonstrate
freshness of the exchange and to link the proof-of-possession key to
the participating parties, as demonstrated by various authentication
and key exchange protocols.
The means of communicating the nonce and the nature of its contents
are intentionally not described in this specification, as different
protocols will communicate this information in different ways.
Likewise, the means of communicating the signed nonce is also not
specified, as this is also protocol specific.
Note that other means of proving possession of the key exist, which
could be used in conjunction with a CWT's confirmation key.
Applications making use of such alternate means are encouraged to
register them in the IANA "CWT "CBOR Web Token (CWT) Confirmation Methods"
registry established in Section 7.2.
4. Security Considerations
All the security considerations that are discussed in [RFC8392] also
apply here. In addition, proof of possession introduces its own
unique security issues. Possessing a key is only valuable if it is
kept secret. Appropriate means must be used to ensure that
unintended parties do not learn private key or symmetric key values.
Applications utilizing proof of possession SHOULD also utilize
audience restriction, as described in Section 3.1.3 of [RFC8392], as
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
intended for different recipients.)
CBOR Web Tokens with proof-of-possession keys are used in context of
an architecture, such as the ACE OAuth Framework
[I-D.ietf-ace-oauth-authz], [ACE-OAUTH], in
which protocols are used by a presenter to request these tokens and
to subsequently use them with recipients. Proof of possession only
provides 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 performing proof of possession for a token. Note
that a discussion of the architecture or specific protocols that CWT CWTs
with proof-of-possession
tokens keys are used with is beyond the scope of
this specification.
As is the case with other information included in a CWT, it is
necessary to apply data origin authentication and integrity
protection (via a keyed message digest or a digital signature). Data
origin authentication ensures that the recipient of the CWT learns
about the entity that created the CWT CWT, since this will be important
for any policy decisions. Integrity protection prevents 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 not only require integrity protection but also
confidentiality protection.
As described in Section 6 (Key Identification) and Appendix D (Notes
on Key Selection) of [JWS], it is important to make explicit trust
decisions about the keys. Proof-of-possession signatures made with
keys not meeting the application's trust criteria MUST NOT be relied
upon.
5. Privacy Considerations
A proof-of-possession key can be used as a correlation handle if the
same key is used on multiple occasions. Thus, for privacy reasons,
it is recommended that different proof-of-possession keys be used
when interacting with different parties.
6. Operational Considerations
The use of CWTs with proof-of-possession keys requires additional
information to be shared between the involved parties in order to
ensure correct processing. The recipient needs to be able to use
credentials to verify the authenticity and integrity of the CWT.
Furthermore, the recipient may need to be able to decrypt either the
whole CWT or the encrypted parts thereof (see Section 3.3). This
requires the recipient to know information about the issuer.
Likewise, there needs to be agreement between the issuer and the
recipient about the claims being used (which is also true of CWTs in
general).
When an issuer creates a CWT containing a Key ID claim, it needs to
make sure that it does not issue another CWT with different claims
containing the same Key ID within the lifetime of the CWTs, unless
intentionally desired. Failure to do so may allow one party to
impersonate another party, with the potential to gain additional
privileges. A case where such reuse of a Key ID would be intentional
is when a presenter obtains a CWT with different claims (e.g.,
extended scope) for the same recipient, recipient but wants to continue using an
existing security association (e.g., a DTLS session) bound to the key
identified by the Key ID. Likewise, if PoP keys are used for
multiple different kinds of CWTs in an application and the PoP keys
are identified by Key IDs, care must be taken to keep the keys for
the different kinds of CWTs segregated so that an attacker cannot
cause the wrong PoP key to be used by using 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.
7. IANA Considerations
The following registration procedure is used for all the registries
established by this specification.
Values are registered on a Specification Required [RFC8126] basis
after a three-week review period on the cwt-reg-review@ietf.org <cwt-reg-review@ietf.org>
mailing list, on the advice of one or more Designated Experts. designated experts.
However, to allow for the allocation of values prior to publication,
the Designated Experts designated experts may approve registration once they are
satisfied that such a specification will be published. [[ Note to
the RFC Editor: The name of the mailing list should be determined in
consultation with the IESG and IANA. Suggested name: cwt-reg-
review@ietf.org. ]]
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.
Designated Experts experts should determine whether a registration request
contains enough information for the registry to be populated with the
new values and whether the proposed new functionality already exists.
In the case of an incomplete registration or an attempt to register
already existing functionality, the Designated Experts designated experts should ask for
corrections or reject the registration.
It is suggested that multiple Designated Experts designated experts be appointed who are
able to represent the perspectives of different applications using
this specification in order to enable broadly informed review of
registration decisions. In cases where a registration decision could
be perceived as creating a conflict of interest for a particular
Expert,
expert, that Expert expert should defer to the judgment of the other
Experts.
