1. Introduction
Privacy Pass tokens are unlinkable authenticators that can be used to
anonymously authorize a Client (see [ARCHITECTURE]). Tokens are
generated by token Issuers, on the basis of authentication,
attestation, or some previous action such as solving a CAPTCHA. A
Client possessing such a token is able to prove that it was able to
get a token issued, without allowing the relying party redeeming the
Client's token (the Origin) to link it with the issuance flow.
Different types of authenticators, using different token issuance
protocols, can be used as Privacy Pass tokens.
This document defines a common HTTP authentication scheme ([HTTP],
Section 11), "PrivateToken", that allows Clients to redeem various
kinds of Privacy Pass tokens.
Clients and relying parties (Origins) interact using this scheme to
perform the token challenge and token redemption flow. In
particular, Origins challenge Clients for a token with an HTTP
authentication challenge (using the WWW-Authenticate response header
field). Clients can then react to that challenge by issuing a new
request with a corresponding token (using the Authorization request
header field). Clients generate tokens that match the Origin's token
challenge by running one of the token issuance protocols defined in
[ISSUANCE]. The act of presenting a token in an Authorization
request header field is referred to as "token redemption". This
interaction between the Client and Origin is shown below.

Figure 1: Challenge and Redemption Protocol Flow
In addition to working with different token issuance protocols, this
scheme optionally supports the use of tokens that are associated with
Origin-chosen contexts and specific Origin names. Relying parties
that request and redeem tokens can choose a specific kind of token,
as appropriate for its use case. These options (1) allow for
different deployment models to prevent double-spending and (2) allow
for both interactive (online challenges) and non-interactive (pre-
fetched) tokens.
1.1. 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.
Unless otherwise specified, this document encodes protocol messages
in TLS notation from [TLS13], Section 3.
This document uses the terms "Client", "Origin", "Issuer", "issuance
protocol", and "Token" as defined in [ARCHITECTURE]. It additionally
uses the following terms in more specific ways:
Issuer key: Keying material that can be used with an issuance
protocol to create a signed token.
Token challenge: A request for tokens sent from an Origin to a
Client, using the WWW-Authenticate HTTP header field. This
challenge identifies a specific token Issuer and issuance
protocol. Token challenges optionally include one or both of the
following: a redemption context (see Section 2.1.1.2) and a list
of associated Origins. These optional values can then be bound to
the token that is issued.
Token redemption: An action by which a Client presents a token to an
Origin in an HTTP request, using the Authorization HTTP header
field.
2. HTTP Authentication Scheme
Token redemption is performed using HTTP authentication ([HTTP],
Section 11), with the scheme "PrivateToken". Origins challenge
Clients to present a token from a specific Issuer (Section 2.1).
Once a Client has received a token from that Issuer or already has a
valid token available, it presents the token to the Origin
(Section 2.2). The process of presenting a token as authentication
to an Origin is also referred to as "spending" a token.
In order to prevent linkability across different transactions,
Clients will often present a particular "PrivateToken" only once.
Origins can link multiple transactions to the same Client if that
Client spends the same token value more than once. As such, Origins
ought to expect at most one unique token value, carried in one
request, for each challenge.
The rest of this section describes the token challenge and redemption
interactions in more detail.
2.1. Token Challenge
Origins send a token challenge to Clients in a WWW-Authenticate
header field with the "PrivateToken" scheme. This authentication
scheme has two mandatory parameters: one containing a token challenge
and another containing the token-key used for producing (and
verifying) a corresponding token.
Origins that support the "PrivateToken" authentication scheme need to
handle the following tasks in constructing the WWW-Authenticate
header field:
1. Select which Issuer to use, and configure the Issuer name and
token-key to include in WWW-Authenticate token challenges. The
Issuer name is included in the token challenge, and the Issuer
token-key is used to populate the WWW-Authenticate header
parameter.
2. Determine a redemption context construction to include in the
token challenge, as discussed in Section 2.1.1.2.
3. Select the Origin information to include in the token challenge.
This can be empty to allow fully cross-Origin tokens, a single
Origin name that matches the Origin itself for per-Origin tokens,
or a list of Origin names containing the Origin itself. See
Section 3.4 of [ARCHITECTURE] for more information about the
difference between cross-Origin and per-Origin tokens.
Once these decisions are made, Origins construct the WWW-Authenticate
header by first constructing the token challenge as described in
Section 2.1.1. Origins send challenges as described in
Section 2.1.2, and Clients process them as described in
Sections 2.1.3 and 2.1.4.
2.1.1. Token Challenge Structure
This document defines the default challenge structure that can be
used across token types, although future token types MAY extend or
modify the structure of the challenge; see Section 6.2 for the
registry information that establishes and defines the relationship
between token_type and the contents of the TokenChallenge message.
All token challenges MUST begin with a 2-octet integer that defines
the token type, in network byte order. This type indicates the
issuance protocol used to generate the token and determines the
structure and semantics of the rest of the structure. Values are
registered in an IANA registry; see Section 6.2. Clients MUST ignore
challenges with token types they do not support.
Even when a given token type uses the default challenge structure,
the requirements on the presence or interpretation of the fields can
differ across token types. For example, some token types might
require that origin_info is non-empty, while others allow it to be
empty.
The default TokenChallenge message has the following structure:
struct {
uint16_t token_type;
opaque issuer_name<1..2^16-1>;
opaque redemption_context<0..32>;
opaque origin_info<0..2^16-1>;
} TokenChallenge;
The structure fields are defined as follows:
* token_type is a 2-octet integer, in network byte order, as
described above.
* issuer_name is an ASCII string that identifies the Issuer, using
the format of a server name as defined in Section 2.1.1.1. This
name identifies the Issuer that is allowed to issue tokens that
can be redeemed by this Origin. The field that stores this string
in the challenge is prefixed with a 2-octet integer indicating the
length, in network byte order.
* redemption_context is a field that is either 0 or 32 bytes,
prefixed with a single octet indicating the length (either 0 or
32). If the value is non-empty, it is a 32-byte value generated
by the Origin that allows the Origin to require that Clients fetch
tokens bound to a specific context, as opposed to reusing tokens
that were fetched for other contexts. See Section 2.1.1.2 for
example contexts that might be useful in practice. Challenges
with redemption_context values of invalid lengths MUST be ignored.
* origin_info is an ASCII string that either is empty or contains
one or more Origin names that allow a token to be scoped to a
specific set of Origins. Each Origin name uses the format of a
server name as defined in Section 2.1.1.1. The string is prefixed
with a 2-octet integer indicating the length, in network byte
order. If empty, any non-Origin-specific token can be redeemed.
If the string contains multiple Origin names, they are delimited
with commas (",") without any whitespace. If this field is not
empty, the Origin MUST include its own name as one of the names in
the list.
If origin_info contains multiple Origin names, this means the
challenge is valid for any of the Origins in the list, including the
Origin that issued the challenge (which must always be present in the
list if it is non-empty; see Section 2.1.3). This can be useful in
settings where Clients pre-fetch and cache tokens for a particular
challenge -- including the origin_info field -- and then later redeem
these tokens with one of the Origins in the list. See Section 2.1.4
for more discussion about token caching.
2.1.1.1. Server Name Encoding
Server names contained in a token challenge are ASCII strings that
contain a hostname and optional port, where the port is implied to be
"443" if missing. The names use the format of the authority portion
of a URI as defined in Section 3.2 of [URI]. The names MUST NOT
include a "userinfo" portion of an authority. For example, a valid
server name might be "issuer.example.com" or
"issuer.example.com:8443", but not "issuer@example.com".
2.1.1.2. Redemption Context Construction
The TokenChallenge redemption context allows the Origin to determine
the context in which a given token can be redeemed. This value can
be a unique per-request nonce, constructed from 32 freshly generated
random bytes. It can also represent state or properties of the
Client session. Some example properties and methods for constructing
the corresponding context are below. This list is not exhaustive.
Context bound to a given time window: Construct the redemption
context as F(current time window), where F is a pseudorandom
function.
Context bound to a Client network based on Autonomous System
Number (ASN): Construct the redemption context as F(Client ASN),
where F is a pseudorandom function.
Context bound to a given time window and Client network: Construct
the redemption context as F(current time window, Client ASN),
where F is a pseudorandom function.
Preventing double-spending on tokens requires the Origin to keep
state associated with the redemption context. An empty redemption
context is not bound to any property of the Client request, so state
to prevent double-spending needs to be stored and shared across all
Origin servers that can accept tokens until token-key expiration or
rotation. For a non-empty redemption context, the double-spend state
only needs to be stored across the set of Origin servers that will
accept tokens with that redemption context.
Origins that share redemption contexts, i.e., by using the same
redemption context, choosing the same Issuer, and providing the same
origin_info field in the TokenChallenge, must necessarily share state
required to enforce double-spend prevention. Origins should consider
the operational complexity of this shared state before choosing to
share redemption contexts. Failure to successfully synchronize this
state and use it for double-spend prevention can allow Clients to
redeem tokens to one Origin that were issued after an interaction
with another Origin that shares the context.
2.1.2. Sending Token Challenges
When used in an authentication challenge, the "PrivateToken" scheme
uses the following parameters:
* "challenge", challenge, which contains a base64url TokenChallenge value,
encoded per [RFC4648]. This document follows the default padding
behavior described in Section 3.2 of [RFC4648], so the base64url
value MUST include padding. As an authentication parameter (auth-
param from [HTTP], Section 11.2), the value can be either a token
or a quoted-string and might be required to be a quoted-string if
the base64url string includes "=" characters. This parameter is
required for all challenges.
* "token-key", token-key, which contains a base64url encoding of the public key
for use with the issuance protocol indicated by the challenge.
See [ISSUANCE] for more information about how this public key is
used by the issuance protocols described in that specification.
The encoding of the public key is determined by the token type;
see Section 6.2. As with "challenge", challenge, the base64url value MUST
include padding. As an authentication parameter (auth-param from
[HTTP], Section 11.2), the value can be either a token or a
quoted-string and might be required to be a quoted-string if the
base64url string includes "=" characters. This parameter MAY be
omitted in deployments where Clients are able to retrieve the
Issuer key using an out-of-band mechanism.
* "max-age", max-age, which is an optional parameter that consists of the
number of seconds for which the challenge will be accepted by the
Origin.
The header field MAY also include the standard realm parameter, if
desired. Issuance protocols MAY define other parameters, some of
which might be required. Clients MUST ignore parameters in
challenges that are not defined for the issuance protocol
corresponding to the token type in the challenge.
As an example, the WWW-Authenticate header field could look like
this:
WWW-Authenticate:
PrivateToken challenge="abc...", token-key="123..."
2.1.2.1. Sending Multiple Token Challenges
It is possible for the WWW-Authenticate header field to include
multiple challenges ([HTTP], Section 11.6.1). This allows the Origin
to indicate support for different token types or different Issuers,
or to include multiple redemption contexts. For example, the WWW-
Authenticate header field could look like this:
WWW-Authenticate:
PrivateToken challenge="abc...", token-key="123...",
PrivateToken challenge="def...", token-key="234..."
Origins should only include challenges for different types of
issuance protocols with functionally equivalent properties. For
instance, both issuance protocols in [ISSUANCE] have the same
functional properties, albeit with different mechanisms for verifying
the resulting tokens during redemption. Since Clients are free to
choose which challenge they want to consume when presented with
options, mixing multiple challenges with different functional
properties for one use case is nonsensical. If the Origin has a
preference for one challenge over another (for example, if one uses a
token type that is faster to verify), it can sort it to be first in
the list of challenges as a hint to the Client.
2.1.3. Processing Token Challenges
Upon receipt of a challenge, a Client validates the TokenChallenge
structure before taking any action, such as fetching a new token or
redeeming a token in a new request. Validation requirements are as
follows:
* The token_type is recognized and supported by the Client;
* The TokenChallenge structure is well-formed; and
* If the origin_info field is non-empty, the name of the Origin that
issued the authentication challenge is included in the list of
Origin names. Comparison of the Origin name that issued the
authentication challenge against elements in the origin_info list
is done via case-insensitive equality checks.
If validation fails, the Client MUST NOT fetch or redeem a token
based on the challenge. Clients MAY have further restrictions and
requirements around validating when a challenge is considered
acceptable or valid. For example, Clients can choose to ignore
challenges that list Origin names for which the current connection is
not authoritative (according to the TLS certificate).
Caching and pre-fetching of tokens are discussed in Section 2.1.4.
2.1.4. Token Caching
Clients can generate multiple tokens from a single TokenChallenge and
cache them for future use. This improves privacy by separating the
time of token issuance from the time of token redemption, and also
allows Clients to avoid the overhead of receiving new tokens via the
issuance protocol.
Cached tokens can only be redeemed when they match all of the fields
in the TokenChallenge: token_type, issuer_name, redemption_context,
and origin_info. Clients ought to store cached tokens based on all
of these fields, to avoid trying to redeem a token that does not
match. Note that each token has a unique Client nonce, which is sent
in token redemption (Section 2.2).
If a Client fetches a batch of multiple tokens for future use that
are bound to a specific redemption context (the redemption_context in
the TokenChallenge was not empty), Clients SHOULD discard these
tokens upon flushing state such as HTTP cookies [COOKIES], or if
there is a network change and the Client does not have any Origin-
specific state like HTTP cookies. Using these tokens in a context
that otherwise would not be linkable to the original context could
allow the Origin to recognize a Client.
2.2. Token Redemption
The output of the issuance protocol is a token that corresponds to
the Origin's challenge (see Section 2.1).
2.2.1. Token Structure
A token is a structure that begins with a 2-octet field that
indicates a token type, which MUST match the token_type in the
TokenChallenge structure. This value determines the structure and
semantics of the rest of the token structure.
This document defines the default token structure that can be used
across token types, although future token types MAY extend or modify
the structure of the token; see Section 6.2 for the registry
information that establishes and defines the relationship between
token_type and the contents of the token structure.
The default token message has the following structure:
struct {
uint16_t token_type;
uint8_t nonce[32];
uint8_t challenge_digest[32];
uint8_t token_key_id[Nid];
uint8_t authenticator[Nk];
} Token;
The structure fields are defined as follows:
* token_type is a 2-octet integer, in network byte order, as
described above.
* nonce is a 32-octet value containing a Client-generated random
nonce.
* challenge_digest is a 32-octet value containing the hash of the
original TokenChallenge, SHA-256(TokenChallenge), where SHA-256 is
as defined in [SHS]. Changing the hash function to something
other than SHA-256 would require defining a new token type and
token structure (since the contents of challenge_digest would be
computed differently), which can be done in a future
specification.
* token_key_id is a Nid-octet identifier for the token
authentication key. The value of this field is defined by the
token_type and corresponding issuance protocol.
* authenticator is a Nk-octet authenticator that is
cryptographically bound to the preceding fields in the token; see
Section 2.2.3 for more information about how this field is used in
verifying a token. The token_type and corresponding issuance
protocol determine the value of the authenticator field and how it
is computed. The value of constant Nk depends on token_type, as
defined in Section 6.2.
The authenticator value in the token structure is computed over the
token_type, nonce, challenge_digest, and token_key_id fields. A
token is considered valid if token verification succeeds; see
Section 2.2.3 for details about verifying the token and its
authenticator value.
2.2.2. Sending Tokens
When used for Client authorization, the "PrivateToken" authentication
scheme defines one parameter, "token", token, which contains the base64url-
encoded token structure. As with the challenge parameters
(Section 2.1), the base64url value MUST include padding. As an
authentication parameter (auth-param from [HTTP], Section 11.2), the
value can be either a token or a quoted-string and might be required
to be a quoted-string if the base64url string includes "="
characters. All unknown or unsupported parameters to "PrivateToken"
authentication credentials MUST be ignored.
Clients present this token structure to Origins in a new HTTP request
using the Authorization header field as follows:
Authorization: PrivateToken token="abc..."
For context-bound tokens, Origins store or reconstruct the contexts
of previous TokenChallenge structures in order to validate the token.
A TokenChallenge can be bound to a specific TLS session with a
Client, but Origins can also accept tokens for valid challenges in
new sessions. Origins SHOULD implement some form of double-spend
prevention that prevents a token with the same nonce from being
redeemed twice. Double-spend prevention ensures that Clients cannot
replay tokens for previous challenges. See Section 5.2 for more
information about replay attacks. For context-bound tokens, this
double-spend prevention can require no state or minimal state, since
the context can be used to verify token uniqueness.
2.2.3. Token Verification
A token consists of some input cryptographically bound to an
authenticator value, such as a digital signature. Verifying a token
consists of checking that the authenticator value is correct.
The authenticator value is as computed when running and finalizing
the issuance protocol corresponding to the token type with the
following values as the input:
struct {
uint16_t token_type;
uint8_t nonce[32];
uint8_t challenge_digest[32];
uint8_t token_key_id[Nid];
} AuthenticatorInput;
The values of these fields are as described in Section 2.2.1. The
cryptographic verification check depends on the token type; see
Sections 5.4 and 6.4 of [ISSUANCE] for verification instructions for
the issuance protocols described in that specification. As such, the
security properties of the token, e.g., the probability that one can
forge an authenticator value without invoking the issuance protocol,
depend on the cryptographic algorithm used by the issuance protocol
as determined by the token type.
3. Client Behavior
When a Client receives one or more token challenges in response to a
request, the Client has a set of choices to make:
* Whether or not to redeem a token via a new request to the Origin.
* Whether to redeem a previously issued and cached token or redeem a
token freshly issued from the issuance protocol.
* If multiple challenges were sent, which challenge to use for
redeeming a token on a subsequent request.
The approach to these choices depends on the use case of the
application, as well as the deployment model (see Section 4 of
[ARCHITECTURE] for discussion of the different deployment models).
3.1. Choosing to Redeem Tokens
Some applications of tokens might require Clients to always present a
token as authentication in order to successfully make requests. For
example, a restricted service that wants to only allow access to
valid users but wants to do so without learning specific user
credential information could use tokens that are based on attesting
user credentials. In these kinds of use cases, Clients will need to
always redeem a token in order to successfully make a request.
Many other use cases for Privacy Pass tokens involve open services
that must work with any Client, including those that either cannot
redeem tokens or can only sometimes redeem tokens. For example, a
service can use tokens as a way to reduce the incidence of presenting
CAPTCHAs to users. In such use cases, services will regularly
encounter Clients that cannot redeem a token or choose not to. In
order to mitigate the risk of these services relying on always
receiving tokens, Clients that are capable of redeeming tokens can
ignore token challenges (and instead behave as if they were a Client
that either doesn't support redeeming tokens or is unable to generate
a new token, by not sending a new request that contains a token to
redeem) with some non-trivial probability. See Section 5.1 of
[ARCHITECTURE] for further considerations regarding avoiding
discriminatory behavior across Clients when using Privacy Pass
tokens.
Clients might also choose to not redeem tokens in subsequent requests
when the token challenges indicate erroneous or malicious behavior on
the part of the challenging Origin. For example, if a Client's
ability to generate tokens via an Attester and Issuer is limited to a
certain rate, a malicious Origin could send an excessive number of
token challenges with unique redemption contexts in order to
(1) cause the Client to exhaust its ability to generate new tokens or
(2) overwhelm issuance servers. Based on the specific deployment,
the limits here will vary, but Clients SHOULD have some
implementation-specific policy to minimize the number of tokens that
can be retrieved by Origins.
3.2. Choosing between Multiple Challenges
A single response from an Origin can include multiple token
challenges. For example, a set of challenges could include different
token types and Issuers, to allow Clients to choose a preferred
Issuer or type.
If Clients choose to respond, Clients should satisfy exactly one of
the challenges presented. The choice of which challenge to use for
redeeming tokens is up to Client policy. This can involve which
token types are supported or preferred, which Issuers are supported
or preferred, or whether or not the Client is able to use cached
tokens based on the redemption context or Origin information in the
challenge. See Section 2.1.4 for more discussion on token caching.
Regardless of how the choice is made, it SHOULD be done in a
consistent manner to ensure that the choice does not reveal
information about the specific Client; see Section 6.2 of
[ARCHITECTURE] for more details on the privacy implications of
issuance consistency.
4. Origin Behavior
Origins choose what token challenges to send to Clients; these token
challenges will vary, depending on the use case and deployment model.
The Origin chooses which token types, Issuers, redemption contexts,
and Origin information to include in challenges. If an Origin sends
multiple challenges, each challenge SHOULD be equivalent in terms of
acceptability for token redemption, since Clients are free to choose
to generate tokens based on any of the challenges.
Origins ought to consider the time involved in token issuance.
Particularly, a challenge that includes a unique redemption context
will prevent a Client from using cached tokens and thus can add more
delay before the Client is able to redeem a token.
Origins SHOULD minimize the number of challenges sent to a particular
Client context (referred to as the "redemption context" in
Section 3.3 of [ARCHITECTURE]), to avoid overwhelming Clients and
Issuers with token requests that might cause Clients to hit rate
limits.
4.1. Greasing
In order to prevent Clients from becoming incompatible with new token
challenges, Origins SHOULD include random token types, from the
reserved list of "greased" types (defined in Section 6.2), with some
non-trivial probability.
Additionally, for deployments where tokens are not required (such as
when tokens are used as a way to avoid showing CAPTCHAs), Origins
SHOULD randomly choose to not challenge Clients for tokens with some
non-trivial probability. This helps Origins ensure that their
behavior for handling Clients that cannot redeem tokens is maintained
and exercised consistently.
5. Security Considerations
This section contains security considerations for the "PrivateToken"
authentication scheme described in this document.
5.1. Randomness Requirements
All random values in the challenge and token MUST be generated using
a cryptographically secure source of randomness [RFC4086].
5.2. Replay Attacks
Applications SHOULD constrain tokens to a single Origin unless the
use case can accommodate replay attacks. Replaying tokens is not
necessarily a security or privacy problem. As an example, it is
reasonable for Clients to replay tokens in contexts where token
redemption does not induce side effects and in which Client requests
are already linkable. One possible setting where this applies is
where tokens are sent as part of 0-RTT data.
If successful token redemption produces side effects, Origins SHOULD
implement an anti-replay mechanism to mitigate the harm of such
replays. See [TLS13], Section 8 and [RFC9001], Section 9.2 for
details about anti-replay mechanisms, as well as [RFC8470], Section 3
for discussion about safety considerations for 0-RTT HTTP data.
5.3. Reflection Attacks
The security properties of token challenges vary, depending on
whether the challenge contains a redemption context or not, as well
as whether the challenge is a per-Origin challenge or not. For
example, cross-Origin tokens with empty contexts can be reflected
from one party by another, as shown below.
+--------+ +----------+ +--------+
| Origin | | Attacker | | Client |
+---+----+ +----+-----+ +---+----+
| | |
+--
+--- TokenChallenge -->| |
| +-- (reflect challenge) ->| -->|
| |<-------- token ---------+ Token ----------+
|<-- (reflect token) -+ --+ |
| | |
Figure 2: Reflection Attack Example
5.4. Token Exhaustion Attacks
When a Client holds cross-Origin tokens with empty contexts, it is
possible for any Origin in the cross-Origin set to deplete that
Client's set of tokens. To prevent this from happening, tokens can
be scoped to single Origins (with non-empty origin_info) such that
they can only be redeemed for a single Origin. Alternatively, if
tokens are cross-Origin tokens, Clients can use alternate methods to
prevent many tokens from being redeemed at once. For example, if the
Origin requests an excess of tokens, the Client could choose to not
present any tokens for verification if a redemption had already
occurred in a given time window.
Token challenges that include non-empty origin_info bind tokens to
one or more specific Origins. As described in Section 2.1.3, Clients
only accept such challenges from Origin names listed in the
origin_info string if it is non-empty. Even if multiple Origins are
listed, a token can only be redeemed for an Origin if the challenge
has a match for the origin_info. For example, if "a.example.com"
issues a challenge with an origin_info string of
"a.example.com,b.example.com", a Client could redeem a token fetched
for this challenge if and only if "b.example.com" also included an
origin_info string of "a.example.com,b.example.com". On the other
hand, if "b.example.com" had an origin_info string of
"b.example.com", "b.example.com,a.example.com", or
"a.example.com,b.example.com,c.example.com", the string would not
match, and the Client would need to use a different token.
5.5. Timing Correlation Attacks
Context-bound token challenges require Clients to obtain matching
tokens when challenged, rather than presenting a token that was
obtained from a different context in the past. This can make it more
likely that issuance and redemption events will occur at
approximately the same time. For example, if a Client is challenged
for a token with a unique context at time T1 and then subsequently
obtains a token at time T2, a colluding Issuer and Origin can link
this to the same Client if T2 is unique to the Client. This
linkability is less feasible as the number of issuance events at time
T2 increases. Depending on the "max-age" max-age token challenge parameter,
Clients MAY try to add delay to the time between being challenged and
redeeming a token to make this sort of linkability more difficult.
For more discussion on correlation risks between token issuance and
redemption, see Section 6.3 of [ARCHITECTURE].
5.6. Cross-Context Linkability Attacks
As discussed in Section 2.1, Clients SHOULD discard any context-bound
tokens upon flushing cookies or changing networks, to prevent an
Origin from using the redemption context state as a cookie to
recognize Clients.
6. IANA Considerations
6.1. Authentication Scheme
IANA has registered the "PrivateToken" authentication scheme in the
"HTTP Authentication Schemes" subregistry of the "Hypertext Transfer
Protocol (HTTP) Authentication Scheme Registry" as defined in [HTTP],
Section 16.4.
Authentication Scheme Name: PrivateToken
Reference: RFC 9577, Section 2
6.2. Privacy Pass Token Types Registry
IANA has created a new "Privacy Pass Token Types" registry in a new
"Privacy Pass" page to list identifiers for issuance protocols
defined for use with the Privacy Pass token authentication scheme.
These identifiers are 2-byte values, so the maximum possible value is
0xFFFF = 65535.
New registrations need to list the following attributes:
Value: The 2-byte identifier for the algorithm.
Name: Name of the issuance protocol.
Token Structure: The contents of the token structure; see
Section 2.2.
Token Key Encoding: The encoding of the "token-key" token-key parameter; see
Section 2.1.2.
TokenChallenge Structure: The contents of the TokenChallenge
structure; see Section 2.1.
Publicly Verifiable: A Y/N value indicating if the output tokens
have the public verifiability property; see Section 3.5 of
[ARCHITECTURE] for more details about this property.
Public Metadata: A Y/N value indicating if the output tokens can
contain public metadata; see Section 3.5 of [ARCHITECTURE] for
more details about this property.
Private Metadata: A Y/N value indicating if the output tokens can
contain private metadata; see Section 3.5 of [ARCHITECTURE] for
more details about this property.
Nk: The length in bytes of an output authenticator.
Nid: The length of the token key identifier.
Change Controller: The entity that is responsible for the definition
of the registration.
Reference: Where this algorithm is defined.
Notes: Any notes associated with the entry.
New entries in this registry are subject to the Specification
Required registration policy ([RFC8126], Section 4.6). Designated
experts need to ensure that the token type is defined to be used for
both token issuance and redemption. Additionally, the experts can
reject registrations on the basis that they do not meet the security
and privacy requirements for issuance protocols defined in
Section 3.2 of [ARCHITECTURE].
[ISSUANCE] defines entries for this registry.
6.2.1. Reserved Values
This document defines several reserved values, which can be used by
Clients and servers to send "greased" values in token challenges and
redemptions to ensure that implementations remain able to handle
unknown token types gracefully (this technique is inspired by
[RFC8701]). Implementations SHOULD select reserved values at random
when including them in greased messages. Servers can include these
in TokenChallenge structures, either as the only challenge when no
real token type is desired or as one challenge in a list of
challenges that include real values. Clients can include these in
token structures when they are not able to present a real token. The
contents of the token structure SHOULD be filled with random bytes
when using greased values.
The initial contents of this registry consist of multiple reserved
values, with the following attributes, which are repeated for each
registration:
Value: 0x0000, 0x02AA, 0x1132, 0x2E96, 0x3CD3, 0x4473, 0x5A63,
0x6D32, 0x7F3F, 0x8D07, 0x916B, 0xA6A4, 0xBEAB, 0xC3F3, 0xDA42,
0xE944, 0xF057
Name: RESERVED
Token Structure: Random bytes
Token Key Encoding: Random bytes
TokenChallenge Structure: Random bytes
Publicly Verifiable: N/A
Public Metadata: N/A
Private Metadata: N/A
Nk: N/A
Nid: N/A
Change Controller: IETF
Reference: RFC 9577
Notes: None

Appendix A. Test Vectors
This section includes test vectors for the HTTP authentication scheme
specified in this document. It consists of the following types of
test vectors:
1. Test vectors for the challenge and redemption protocols.
Implementations can use these test vectors for verifying code
that builds and encodes TokenChallenge structures, as well as
code that produces a well-formed token bound to a TokenChallenge.
2. Test vectors for the HTTP headers used for authentication.
Implementations can use these test vectors for validating whether
they parse HTTP authentication headers correctly to produce
TokenChallenge structures and the other associated parameters,
such as the token-key and max-age values.
A.1. Challenge and Redemption Structure Test Vectors
This section includes test vectors for the challenge and redemption
functionalities described in Sections 2.1 and 2.2. Each test vector
lists the following values:
token_type: The type of token issuance protocol -- a value from
Section 6.2. For these test vectors, token_type is 0x0002,
corresponding to the issuance protocol discussed in Section 6
("Issuance Protocol for Publicly Verifiable Tokens") of
[ISSUANCE].
issuer_name: The name of the Issuer in the TokenChallenge structure,
represented as a hexadecimal string.
redemption_context: The redemption context in the TokenChallenge
structure, represented as a hexadecimal string.
origin_info: The Origin information in the TokenChallenge structure,
represented as a hexadecimal string.
nonce: The nonce in the token structure, represented as a
hexadecimal string.
token_key_id: The public token key, encoded based on the
corresponding token type, represented as a hexadecimal string.
token_authenticator_input: The values in the token structure used to
compute the token authenticator value, represented as a
hexadecimal string.
Test vectors are provided for each of the following TokenChallenge
configurations:
1. TokenChallenge with a single Origin and a non-empty redemption
context.
2. TokenChallenge with a single Origin and empty redemption context.
3. TokenChallenge with an empty Origin and redemption context.
4. TokenChallenge with an empty Origin and a non-empty redemption
context.
5. TokenChallenge with multiple Origins and a non-empty redemption
context.
6. TokenChallenge for greasing.
These test vectors are below.

A.2. HTTP Header Test Vectors
This section includes test vectors for the contents of the HTTP
authentication headers. Each test vector consists of one or more
challenges that comprise a WWW-Authenticate header; see Section 3.2.
For each challenge, the token-type, token-key, max-age, and token-
challenge parameters are listed. Each challenge also includes an
unknown (unspecified) parameter that implementations are meant to
ignore.
The parameters for each challenge are indexed by their position in
the WWW-Authenticate challenge list. For example, token-key-0
denotes the token-key parameter for the first challenge in the list,
whereas token-key-1 denotes the token-key for the second challenge in
the list.
The resulting wire-encoded WWW-Authenticate header based on this list
of challenges is then listed at the end. Line folding is only used
to fit the document-formatting constraints and is not supported in
actual requests.
The last challenge in this list includes Basic authentication, a
grease challenge, and a valid challenge for token type 0x0001.
Correct Client implementations will ignore the Basic and grease
challenges.
